Cerima Cherries invests in custom machinery with state-of-the-art technology to assure its traceability and trusts Datalogic
Cerima Cherries is a fruit and vegetable company specialising solely in the production, packaging and export of cherries worldwide. One of its main objectives is to offer customers the very best cherry in the market. Therefore, the company cultivates its own fields with the care they deserve, seeking, among other things, to obtain a product of the highest quality.
Currently, the maximum production capacity is 240,000 kilos of cherries in one day, which over a whole campaign (that lasts a couple of months), equates to a production range of between 5 and 6 million kilos of cherries.
Since 2004 the company has offered its customers the best varieties of cherries during the harvest period (April – July) from the different farms in the group. Throughout this time, Cerima Cherries has gradually increased its production area to 300 hectares of cherry.
"In the beginning most of the production data was recorded manually and entered into a spreadsheet. The receipt of the goods, the quality data, the labeling and traceability information in the finished box, camera management and the dispatch and shipping systems were all managed manually, which was possible with a production volume that did not exceed 70 or 80 tons per day. A vital part of our production system was the traceability information. Once the box was finished the operator prepared a label, manually typing the lot number which could be different depending on the date, variety of cherry, producer and field of origin. This was an important part of our entire production process due to the large amount of staff resources involved and the time spent carrying out this procedure.
As we increased our production volume, we implemented a traceability management software, which helped us a lot in data ordering and process control. However, we continued to have a bottleneck in the registration of the boxes, which often determined our production speed. In a way, we could solve it by incorporating bar code readers that were manually operated and allowed us to give the process some fluidity. However, it remained unstable, which was evident every time we had to change packaging and make a greater number of boxes, or when there were errors in manual processing. We knew that it was necessary to make a leap in digitizing that process with an automatic system that would solve that problem for us," says Eduard Cedó Sans, General Manager of Cerima Cherries.
The company has a central warehouse next to its headquarters that receives and processes all the fruit from the different fields. This warehouse is equipped with the latest technology available for the selection, calibration and preservation of the cherry, giving this exceptional product an exceptional treatment.
The newly implemented technology means the fruit all meet important standard and consistent characteristics, unifying criteria such as color, firmness, category and size. This gives a new dimension and differentiation to the quality of the cherries.
When the fruit arrives at the warehouse it passes through the first quality control that looks at its general condition (sugar levels, hardness etc). Then, to determine the destination market, it is passed through "cooling", a system of cooling the cherry via a cold shower to lower the temperature to 0 degrees, a basic process to conserve the cherry in the supermarkets where it will be sold.
The fruit continues through different processes, including a leading European calibrator that takes 124 photographs of each cherry. Once the cherries have been calibrated, they are placed in boxes according to their caliber and labeled for the subsequent preparation of the orders. These labels include information such as place and date of collection, size, production line, date and place of boxing and other information necessary to ensure good production control and traceability.
The labelled boxes are placed on different conveyor belts that lead to a general belt, where they are then sorted, packaged and put onto pallets for the different orders .
The boxes pass under Datalogic reading arches installed along the conveyor belt. Each reading arch is equipped with two Datalogic DS5100 laser scanners that read the labels located on the front and rear of the boxes.
The scanners are installed with the necessary angle of inclination to be able to detect the labels of the boxes regardless of the label position at the front or rear of the box. The reading system is autonomous, it is equipped with a Datalogic S50N photocell connected to the scanners, which detects the passage of the box through the arc, sends a read order and activates the scanners. The reading system sends the information from the labels to the computer system of the company via Ethernet TCP / IP. The system has a control with digital signals that also detects the boxes with errors of reading or labeling, hence this system automatically controls 100% of the production.
The DS5100 laser scanner offers exceptional reading performance on low-quality, low-contrast barcodes, damaged labels, as well as at very steep angles. Superior read performance along with a user selectable focus makes the DS5100 the best option for this application. The IDNET network connection between the scanners allows us to create a synchronized reading set between them. Each set of equipment in each reading arch works as a single station and communicates with the Cerima Cherry server in a single and simple way.
The DS5100 scanners are connected to the central Cerima Cherries system and send all the information they collect. If a code could not be read, the scanner sends this information, thus guaranteeing reliable information on 100% of the production, the traceability of the fruit and it makes reverse traceability possible if necessary.
The choice of the DS5100 laser scanner has allowed the classification of pallets to be carried out automatically in the order preparation line, speeding up this process, avoiding errors and having real-time information.
"The implementation of Datalogic readers has meant a radical change in the way of working and grouping the information of each of the lots. Thanks to its reliability and speed in reading the barcodes of each box we have been able to increase the number of boxes in each of the 4 reading lines that we have installed. Without a doubt, it has been a success having Datalogic as a partner in the data reading and recording system, " says Eduard Cedó Sans, General Manager of Cerima Cherries.

Painterly and romantic, Splash brings Gardner's color-loving sensibility to a favorite inspiration, water. Translated from her ink painting, the design offers pleasant irregularity in an overall pattern, all the better to furnish with, my dear.
We present Splash in all wool or silk/wool combination. In all wool, the colors are more saturated and contemporary, while with silk splashes a more watercolor effect is produced, drawing on silk's natural duality and sheen. Depending on palette and texture, this rug is equally at home in transitional, contemporary and even mixed-traditional, settings.


At Swift Formula, we set sky-high expectations and work doubly hard with students towards achieving our dream.
For Primary school students in standard/foundation stream, our target will be Band 1 / Grade 1 / A* or 100 marks.

Swift Formula is open to all students from Mondays to Sundays. In the event that you are unable to attend a class, make-up lesson can be arranged within the week.


On October 23, 2014, the Michigan Court of Appeals held that three unemployed claimants were entitled to unemployment benefits after they were terminated for failure to pass a drug test as a result of their lawful marijuana usage under the Michigan Medical Marihuana Act (MMMA).
The Michigan Court of Appeals consolidated three different circuit court cases involving unemployment claimants who were terminated for failure to pass a drug test mandated by their various employers. All three claimants were holders of valid, medical marijuana cards and failed their drug tests as a result of their lawful medical marijuana usage. The parties disputed whether the claimants were entitled to unemployment benefits given the employers' drug-free policies and the claimants' lawful medical marijuana usage. The Court held that denying the claimants unemployment benefits because they tested positive on a drug test due to their lawful medical marijuana use constituted an unlawful penalty under the MMMA.
"was discharged for illegally ingesting, injecting, inhaling or possessing a controlled substance on the premises of the employer; refusing to submit to a drug test that was required to be administered in a nondiscriminatory manner; or testing positive on a drug test, if the test was administered in a nondiscriminatory manner . . ."
The MMMA grants lawful medical marijuana users broad immunity from arrest, prosecution or penalty for their lawful use of medical marijuana. However, the MMMA does not permit anyone who uses medical marijuana either to undertake any task that would constitute negligence or professional negligence or to operate, navigate or be in control of any type of motor vehicle, aircraft, or motorboat while under the influence of marijuana. The MMMA also does not require an employer to accommodate the use of marijuana in the workplace or to allow an employee to work while under the influence of marijuana.
The Court of Appeals found that all three claimants met the threshold requirements for unemployment benefits under MESA. It also found that although the claimants may have been technically disqualified from unemployment benefits under the provisions of MESA because they tested positive on a drug test, the MMMA preempts MESA.
The Court rejected the Defendants' arguments (1) that the failed drug tests and the claimants' medical marijuana usage should be treated separately, (2) that granting the benefits would amount to requiring employers to accommodate an employee's use of marijuana in the workplace or working while under the influence of marijuana, and (3) that the MMMA's immunity clause does not apply to private employers.
The Court found that but for the claimants' medical marijuana usage, the claimants would have passed the drug test and would not have been deemed to have engaged in any misconduct. It also found that there was no evidence that the claimants used the medical marijuana in the workplace or worked under the influence of marijuana. Further, the Court found that the MMMA applies to these cases because the claimants were denied unemployment benefits by a state actor - the Michigan Compensation Appellate Commission (MCAC). The Court explicitly stated that the employer's conduct was not at issue in this case.
The Court ultimately held that denying unemployment benefits to these claimants because they failed mandated drug tests solely as a result of their lawful medical marijuana usage constituted an unlawful penalty under the MMMA. The denial imposed a forfeiture on claimants solely because of their lawful medical marijuana usage in violation of the MMMA's provisions.
In light of this case, employers should keep in mind that the MMMA preempts MESA and provides broad immunity that protects lawful medical marijuana users from penalty as a result of their lawful marijuana use. Accordingly, a lawful medical marijuana user cannot be denied unemployment benefits based on a failed drug test if there is no evidence that the claimant violated MESA in a manner unrelated to the claimant's lawful medical marijuana usage or evidence that the claimant violated the MMMA so as to deprive him or her of the MMMA's protection.

Q: Where have the corner handles gone in keynote? If I add a text box in keynote then I can only resize it horizontally. If I create a new slide and apply a master style with bullet points or text then I get a box with corner and vertical handles as well.
How can I insert one of these? Or can I convert a normal text box to this type?
Cheers

A: I've finally found the correct answer after trying all the suggested above.
Create new text box. Right click on the text box. (or control click)
Choose make editable.
This will give it red adjustment handles. Don't touch anything as it will skew your text box.
Just hit enter.
Now the text box has all of the handles. You can make it as tall or short as you want and " Shrink text to fit" becomes an option in the right hand menu pane.

A: You can copy&paste or Duplicate one of the larger ones once you have entered some text.

A: I ran into the similar problem and found a solution. What you need to do is to shrink the size to 50% so that you can see the outside of the slide, then double click on the edge of the text box and it should bring up all four sides with tiny adjustment buttons.

"Beneath the success and rise of American enterprise is an untold history that is antithetical to every value Americans hold dear. This is a seminal work, a godsend really, a clear message to every citizen about the need to reform our country, laws, and companies."
—Paul Hawken, coauthor of Natural Capitalism and author of The Ecology of Commerce
"Thom Hartmann is a literary descendent of Ben Franklin and Tom Paine. His unflinching observations and deep passion inspire us to explore contemporary culture, politics, and economics; challenge us to face the facts of the societies we are creating; and empower us to demand a better world for our children and grandchildren."
—John Perkins, author of the New York Times bestselling book Confessions of an Economic Hit Man
"Through compelling personal stories, Hartmann presents a dramatic and deeply disturbing picture of humans as a profoundly troubled species. Hope lies in his inspiring vision of our enormous unrealized potential and his description of the path to its realization."

Spider-Man 2099 (Vol. 2) #6
In: Comics & Books
Title: Spider-Man 2099 (Vol. 2)
Posted: Jan 2015
Staff: Cody Wilson (E-Mail)
As a recap of the past, Miguel O'Hara, Spider-Man 2099 (Earth-928) was trapped in 2014 (Earth-616) by his father, Tyler Stone, in the arc Necessary Evil. Only ... Stone doesn't know Miguel is his son, or that Miguel is Spider-Man 2099. He just wanted to get rid of the hero because he's always messing with his corrupt corporation, Alchemax. Anyways, Miguel has been adapting to life in 2014 because he is stuck there. (Why he doesn't find one of those time machines that everybody in the Marvel Universe has is truly beyond me.)
Last issue, Spider-Man 2099 was met by another universes' version of himself wearing a device allowing him to travel dimensions. The parallel Miguel O'Hara was trying to warn his counterpart about a race of beings called the Inheritors who have been killing and eating Spider-People. As he was explaining, Morlun, an Inheritor, appeared and killed him! At that point, Miguel decided he must find Peter Parker and tell him about what happened.
Enter: Spider-Verse! Spider-Man 2099 has teamed up with other Spider-Men of various dimensions to battle the Inheritors. In Amazing Spider-Man (Vol. 3) #10 they battled and killed an Inheritor named Daemos, but were disappointed when he returned to the battle in a cloned body. Peter Parker formed a group consisting of Spider-Man 2099, Six Armed Spider-Man, and Lady Spider (see Spider-Verse #1 (Story 3)). He instructed them to investigate Daemos' dead body in Miguel's home year and dimension (2099, Earth-928). Sadly, upon hearing that they were taking his corpse, the living version of Daemos began chasing the heroes.
(Wheh! That's one long recap!)
Summary: Spider-Man 2099, Lady Spider, and Six-Armed Spidey appear!
Arc: Part 1 of 'Spider-Verse Tie-In' (1-2)
Editor: Ellie Pyle
Writer: Peter David
Artist: Will Sliney

Colorist: Antonio Fabela
On Earth-928 of the year 2099, following the events of Superior Spider-Man #19, Tyler Stone sits relaxed at his desk in the Alchemax Tower. Stone happily recaps to Winston, his assistant, "We are finally rid of Spider-Man. He's trapped in the year 2014 with no way of getting back here. Things could not be going better." Stone yawns and decides to take the rest of the day off to sleep. At that minute, Winston finds that the Public Eye has forwarded a video to Stone, and when he views it, he's appalled: not only is Spider-Man 2099 back, but he's brought Six-Armed Spider-Man and Lady Spider with him!
At first, Stone is confused how Spider-Man 2099 arrived so quickly after he sent him off only two hours ago. Winston tries to explain to his boss, "He could have been gone two hours, or days, or years. It's time travel. We're fortunate he didn't come back before we sent him back to the past. He might have warned himself and we'd have both a paradox and two of them to deal with." (Ohhh, I have a headache now!) Anyways, Winston explains that the Public Eye is currently tracking Spider-Man 2099 … but that's strange because he typically knows where the "holes in the system" are. Winston assumes that he could simply be distracted and not notice the cameras. Stone instructs his assistant to order the Public Eye to kill Spider-Man 2099 as soon as he stops swinging. He sits back down at his desk and crossly decides that he won't be going home to sleep yet.
Meanwhile, Miguel O'Hara's brother, Gabriel, is in his apartment, talking to his mom. She is wondering where Miguel is, and Gabriel wonders why because she typically never cares. "Do you need to borrow money or something?" he asks. The answer is yes, but she's reluctant to say it. He ends the transmission, and is surprised when Spider-Man 2099 and his Spider-Friends enter his apartment. (FYI, Gabe knows Miguel is Spider-Man 2099.)
Miguel tells his brother that his company is alternate universe Spider-Men. When Six-Armed Spider-Man introduces himself (his universe is a case of Amazing Spider-Man #100 gone wrong), Gabriel is confused which hand he should shake. Lady Spider takes off her helmet and asks to be called May. Gabriel is very awkward and embarrassed with her, repeating things and shaking her hand for a bit too long. She offers he shakes Six-Arm Spidey's hands instead because he has plenty.
When Gabriel asks what's happening, Miguel explains, "Long story short: There's a metric ton of Spider-People running around Nueva York at the moment. And someone is trying to kill us." They elucidate who Daemos is, and Gabriel is angry that they have led him to his apartment. "We just needed a safe harbor and this was the closest place. I need to coordinate forces," Miguel says. He plans on gathering the Punisher, Hulk, and Doctor Strange of 2099 to help against the Inheritors. The new heroes may catch the villains off guard, he thinks, because they have only faced Spider-Men so far. "I'm Spider-Man. Trust me," Miguel boasts.
Suddenly, Daemos crashes through the wall, exclaiming, "You led me on quite the chase! Took me ten whole minutes to find you!" He asks where the heroes have hid his corpse, but they refuse to tell. Valiantly, Six-Armed Spidey tries to stall Daemos as his friends make an escape, but the villain asks how he plans on doing so, "Dazzle me with your wit? Fluster me with our intellect? Try to seduce me, perhaps? You do have a surplus of hands. Think of the possibilities." Daemos quickly subdues him and prepares to feast. Spider-Man 2099 and Lady Spider attempt to stop him, but they're punched away. He proceeds to eat Six-Armed Spidey and finds that he tastes especially good because he drank the formula.
Next up, Lady Spider attempts to stop Daemos for Spider-Man 2099 to get away. She gets a good hit in, but the villain grabs her by the neck and prepares to dine. He is disappointed to find that she doesn't actually have any Spider-Powers, but she imitates it with her mechanical prowess. "You have essence, yes, but it reeks of technology!" Daemos growls. Instead, he licks her and figures he can find other ways to please himself with her. Luckily, Lady Spider is saved when Gabriel fires a large gun at the villain, causing him to fall out the window. He tells Miguel that it is Dana's "just in case" weapon. (It'll take too long to explain who Dana is, so you can look it up yourself.) Spider-Man 2099 jumps out the window in pursuit, and Lady Spider follows, but not before giving Gabriel a kiss. He yells, "Stop by any time!"
On the street below, Daemos orders Spider-Man 2099 to appear before he starts killing civilians. The Public Eye shows up in hovercrafts and attempts to subdue him. He refuses their order to stand down, hijacks a hovercraft, and begins attacking the other Public Eye officers. Spider-Man 2099 jumps on top of an injured Public Eye officer and talks to Tyler Stone through their camera, "Ordinarily, I would beat the living crap out of you for [trapping me in 2014]. But this is your lucky day." He orders Stone to prepare Floor 82, Lab C of the Alchemax Tower for him. This way, he won't attack him but will instead owe him a favor. In his office, Stone instructs Winston to do as he says.
Done with the call, Spider-Man 2099 grabs Daemos' hovercraft with his web and smashes it into the ground. Lady Spider webs Daemos' hands, and he offers to spare her if she becomes his sex slave. "I would rather die," she states. He tears out of the webbing, but Spider-Man 2099 quickly kicks him in the face and then uppercuts him. Daemos explains he will happily feast on him, but Spider-Man 2099 begins to flee the scene. Lady Spider and he swing between the buildings and the villain is quick to follow, which is part of his plan. She is impressed when Miguel begins to fly with his anti-gravity cape-like material. He explains what May has to do for his plan to be successful.
At the Alchemax Tower, Spider-Man 2099 is excited to find that Stone followed his instructions and opened the correct lab. And just in time, too, because Daemos is tailing him in a Public Eye hovercraft. To his surprise, Miguel jumps behind the Inheritor and covers his eyes with his hands. Lady Spider snatches him with a web and throws him into Lab C. "That is for being an officious dolt!" she yells. Unexpectedly, a stasis cell surrounds the villain, capturing him inept. Miguel explains that he once used it to capture Venom and assumes it can handle him. "Welcome to Alchemax," Spider-Man 2099 declares, "You won't be leaving anytime soon."
Instead of having effect that most events have on monthly books, Spider-Verse has seemed to improve this title's quality, making Spider-Man 2099 #6 the most entertaining story so far! The main factor I enjoyed is how, unlike many event tie-ins, this one has an actually interesting story. The heroes' battle against Daemos is very exciting, and Miguel's way of stopping him is clever. The characters' interactions, although they aren't a main feature of the story, are good. David shows that he has a solid grip on Lady Spider and Six-Armed Spider-Man's characters. It's nice to see Tyler Stone and Gabriel fitted into the plot. Also, I like how Peter David makes this a compact one-shot story, which he specializes in rather than multi-part stories.
As I said similarly in my Scarlet Spiders #1 review, I really enjoy how this story ties into the main Spider-Verse event. It feels like Spider-Man 2099's battle against Daemos is actually important and will contribute to the event. Dan Slott has made sure that the stories incorporated in his event all have a plotline to work off of, which is fulfilling for those like me who buy all the tie-ins. Of course, Peter David makes sure this a standalone story, giving the reader the information they need about Spider-Verse even if they aren't reading it.
I did notice something about this story, and although I'm not the best at writing about time travel (I tend to get major headaches from it), I'm gonna try it right now. There are people who have always said that the current 616 Universe (regular Marvel) timeline will one day become the world depicted in the 2099 comics. Dan Slott has even hinted at that it will occur in recent Superior Spider-Man developments. It seems, though, that Marvel disproves that idea with this comic, as it refers to the 2099 Universe as Earth-928 instead of Earth-616. This seems to be Marvel's way of getting out of the paradox that would occur when 2099 comes around. (Maybe Marvel has already done this … does anybody know?) On another hand, perhaps Earth-616 will actually become like 2099, just slightly different. Perhaps the Spider-Man 2099 that has been around from Superior Spider-Man #19 to now has been a different Spider-Man from the one depicted in the 90's! Perhaps ... Awww, my head hurts now! Why do I do this to myself?! (EDIT: Marvel Editorial has confirmed that Spider-Man 2099's dimension IS the future of the 616 universe. And I wrote all that for nothing...)
On an easier term to talk about, Will Sliney's artwork is as solid and consistent as always. He does a great job drawing Lady Spider, Six-Armed Spider-Man, and Daemos. Sliney's facial expressions and character emotions are fantastic and full of heart. David's script requires many characters per page, but his consistency never suffers. Most impressive is his depiction of Nueva York, which is futuristic and breathtaking (even if Fabela's coloring sometimes takes away from it). Sliney truly is perfect for this book.
Peter David does a stellar job with this tie-in, providing an enticing story and fun character interactions.
Title:Spider-Man 2099 (Vol. 2)


Ahhh! A second stroke, say: a positive pregnancy test! OMG, I'm pregnant!
Whether you trying to get pregnant for a while or it is completely surprising: A positive pregnancy test will lead to some outbursts of feeling and a lot of questions. Because the second line on the test says very clearly: I'm pregnant! A baby grows up in me, which will be an integral part of my life in just a few months! An incredible feeling, but also a time for many questions and uncertainties.
How safe is a positive pregnancy test?
The first question is often: how reliable is a positive pregnancy test? Is the result of 100 percent or can it be wrong? The classic urine pregnancy tests provide very reliable results, provided that they are properly applied. You can do it about two or three weeks after fertilization. The early tests that you can do this a few days after fertilization, are not quite as reliable. It may happen that no pregnancy is displayed even though the result should actually be a positive pregnancy test.
Endless questions through my head buzzing one after a positive pregnancy test. They allow, then but deep breath. On the five most important you find here an answer.
1. How do I tell it my partner?
A positive pregnancy test comes to you both, that's why the father of the baby should as soon as possible of them experienced (this also applies if you maybe not is in close contact). There are endless possibilities to inform the others that you are pregnant. With a funny video, baby shoes, or pacifier. The easiest way is still to say it straight out.
Also jointly decide when you tell friends and family. Many couples wait for the first three months, may result in this period more complications and miscarriages.
2. When's the baby due?
"I am how far and when's the baby" is another question, which turns the expectant Mama after a positive pregnancy test.Actually a pregnancy takes nine months, ten but rather. It is calculated from the first day of the last period. Expects to 280 days, then have a relatively precise date. The obstetricians and Gynecologists will tell you the rest.
3. When should I go to the gynecologist?
A positive pregnancy test should have a visit at the gynecologist resulted. Call as soon as possible, says that you suspect to be pregnant, and let's give you a timely appointment. Can you confirm the pregnancy on the one, he explain everything more. What you should look for example, when the child is expected to come, etc.
4. What should I review my diet now?
Anyone become pregnant should make sure in advance on a healthy, balanced diet. Alcohol and cigarettes should hang her on the nail and also not gallons of coffee. Very important: Because most Germans have a slight lack of folic acid, you should get you as a precaution a multivitamin in the pharmacy or drugstore. Just in the first few weeks of pregnancy, a sufficient supply of folic acid is important for the baby to develop healthy.
At the latest, a positive pregnancy test should be the time to give up alcohol and cigarettes, and focuses more on the nutrition. May for example no longer eaten raw fish, raw milk cheeses (such as Brie) or raw sausages like salami. You should avoid also pre-cut salads.
5. When must I have to talk to my employer?
The first excitement of the pregnancy has subsided, the question comes up sooner or later, when it submits the message to the Chief. At this point you can breathe again: there is no law that you must have said it to a certain point in time. A positive pregnancy test is not immediately synonymous with a unpleasant date to the head.
The most pregnant women wait for the first three months. But are you working in a hospital, a kindergarten or with hazardous materials, should as soon as possible find the conversation with your boss.

Our stay was comfortable and convenient to our Venue where we were playing Basketball for the Huntsman World Games.
Wonderful place to stay. Great location to enjoy Sand Hollow, Saint George, and plenty of hiking around. It was perfect!
The place was clean and everything I had hoped it would be when I booked. The only drawback was that we were woken up around 6:30 to 7am every morning by a large barking dog living next door.
We had a great stay in this lovely place. Everything was clean, comfortable, and well-equipped. Also, a fantastic location!
Excellent place to stay and fantastic host!
The washington house was nice and fit our needs. The internet worked poorly and the Cable TV was even WORSE!! We are sports minded people playing in the Huntsman Senior Games and had very limited stations and no TV guide.
Response: We appreciate the candid comments and we're glad you enjoyed your stay at the Washington House. We are working quickly to resolve the recent issues with the wi-fi as well as the TV service. We hope you'll be back soon at another one of our great vacation rentals.
The internet was out at the washington house for 2. 5 of the 3 days we were there and did not come on until late the last night. There was no toilet paper and the coffee pot had a moldy filter that was left in.
Response: After receiving dozens of glowing reviews, this is disappointing to hear. We are addressing the issues mentioned to ensure none of our future guests experience anything but a highly enjoyable time here. We hope you'll consider our excellent overall ratings and give us another chance to exceed your expectations.
Beautiful home in a nice neighborhood! Would definitely stay again!
This is a nice, comfortable home. We really enjoyed our stay here. The "Washington" home is close to St. George and surrounding area. Jerry was great to work with.
Plenty of room in the master bedroom and closet for your items. We did not feel cramped. The backyard was neatly manicured. The tv and internet worked well. We had a nice get away, spa treatments at St. George day spa and awesome hikes at Zion!
This is the 2nd time we have used VRBO to rent a place in the St. George area. This house was outstanding. Very clean and modern. The house was stocked with absolutely everything in the kitchen, bathrooms and bedrooms. Nice sheets on the bed, extra toiletries in the bathrooms and everything you could ever need in the kitchen. Here's how awesome this place is.....The owners had taken the BBQ to their other house. I called the property manager and 3 hours later, they delivered a BRAND NEW BBQ to the house, just to make our stay enjoyable and allow us to BBQ on Saturday with family and friends. We are DEFINATELY staying at this place every time we vacation in the area. PS: The place is much bigger than it looks in the the pictures. You can't lose on this one. Time and money well spent. Thanks again for making our vacation a true "vacation'!
The Washington House is a great house to rent. Plenty of room, nice patio and fenced yard. We will definitely stay there again if in the St. George area.

VANCOUVER, April 4, 2019 /CNW/ - According to the Royal LePage House Price Survey1 released today, home prices declined across Greater Vancouver as a result of federal and provincial government intervention that continues to weaken prospective homeowner's purchasing power, especially among first time buyers.
The aggregate home price in Greater Vancouver decreased 1.5 per cent in the first quarter to $1,239,306, compared to the same period last year. When broken out by housing type, the median price of two-storey homes and bungalows declined by 1.6 per cent and 3.3 per cent respectively, to $1,538,523 and $1,378,988. The median price of a condominium increased 1.4 per cent year-over-year to $679,393 – a significant contrast to the double-digit price increases seen in the condominium segment in the first half of 2018.
The real estate market in Greater Vancouver witnessed higher inventory levels and significantly less transactions during the first quarter of 2019, with 42 per cent fewer sales in February than the ten-year average. Stricter mortgage stress tests implemented by the Federal government and the speculation tax introduced by the province are removing potential buyers from the market and reducing overall demand.
"With weaker sales activity and rising inventory, it is a buyer's market in Greater Vancouver," said Randy Ryalls, general manager, Royal LePage Sterling Realty. "The stress test rules have really hurt affordability for first time buyers, pushing a lot of activity from the detached segment and into condominiums. Many prospective buyers are sitting on the sidelines waiting to see if the market will correct further, but we're seeing well-priced properties receiving multiple offers regardless of housing type."
Ryalls added that the Federal government's First Time Home Buyers Incentive, introduced in the 2019 Federal budget, isn't expected to have a significant effect on the Greater Vancouver housing market as most buyers will not qualify for the program.
Looking ahead, Royal LePage is forecasting further declines in the second quarter, with aggregate prices expected to decrease 1.4 per cent to $1,222,351.
In the first quarter of 2019, the aggregate home price in the City of Vancouver decreased 2.4 per cent year-over-year to $1,390,231. Condominiums in the region continued to see modest appreciation, rising 0.6 per cent year-over-year to $803,501. The two-storey home and bungalow segments both depreciated when compared to the same time last year, decreasing 4.1 per cent and 1.5 per cent to $2,117,845 and $1,474,571, respectively.
Meanwhile, the aggregate home price in West Vancouver decreased 4.6 per cent to $2,904,163. Within the region, the median price of a two-storey home decreased 3.8 per cent to $3,305,607, while the price of a bungalow decreased 7.1 per cent on an annual basis, to $2,656,340. The median condominium price decreased 2.9 per cent to $1,098,696.
North Vancouver experienced moderate price depreciation in the first quarter. The aggregate home price decreased by 3.5 per cent year-over-year to $1,393,733. The median price of two-storey homes and bungalows decreased 3.4 per cent and 3.6 per cent respectively, to $1,638,637 and $1,569,980. Meanwhile, the median price of a condominium decreased 3.3 per cent year-over-year to $659,448.
Richmond witnessed modest declines in the first quarter of 2019, with the aggregate price of a home decreasing 0.4 per cent to $1,131,725 when compared to the same three-month period last year. On a quarter-over-quarter basis, all three housing types saw price declines from the final three months of 2018.
Burnaby home values declined in the first quarter of 2019, with the region's aggregate home price decreased 0.8 per cent year-over-year to $1,098,926, led by an 8.4 per cent decrease in the median price of a bungalow. However, the median price of two-storey homes and condominiums continued to see steady year-over-year gains of 2.3 per cent and 4.1 per cent respectively, to $1,543,212 and $631,809.
Coquitlam remained an attractive location for buyers looking for relative affordability in the Lower Mainland. In the first quarter, the aggregate price of a home in the region rose 0.4 per cent year-over-year to $1,096,715, led by a 1.1 per cent increase in the median price of a two-storey home. However, on a quarter-over-quarter basis, all three housing types saw modest price declines from the final three months of 2018.
Surrey home values grew in the first quarter of 2019, with the region's aggregate home price rising 0.8 per cent year-over-year to $893,803, led by a 8.7 per cent increase in the median price of a condominium from the same period last year. The market is seen as relatively balanced but leaning towards a buyer's market.
Langley's aggregate home price witnessed one of the highest increases of any region within Greater Vancouver, rising 1.9 per cent year-over-year to $968,985. However, the region could not escape the broader trend of quarter-over-quarter weakness, with the aggregate home price decreasing 2.5 per cent on a quarter-over-quarter basis from the final three months of 2018.


You're finalising the web development process and you want to make sure that the website you're about to launch will become an instant hit. Working with your web design company on the finishing touches and making sure that the development corresponds to search engine and visitor requirements will both be essential.
Want to make sure that your website is the best it can be? The following web development checklist will help you figure out whether you've accomplished everything necessary for a great start.
Make sure that all of the functionalities and features on your website work and that they're user-friendly. If you're having trouble with any of those, you'll need to have the web design company check on the feature once again.
Forms: Contact forms, ecommerce forms and all other forms featured on the website should be understandable. The visitor should get a confirmation upon the completion of the process.
Links: Click on all and make sure that they take you exactly where they promise.
Logo: The website logo appearing in the upper corner should link to the homepage.
Social media buttons: These should be linked to the respective social media profiles.
RSS feeds: See what appears in the feed and whether it gets automatically updated.
Cross-platform compatibility: All of the functionalities should work across different browsers and different devices. Do a thorough test.
Every website needs to be filled with useful and interesting content before its launch. Don't wait for the website to go live before you start thinking about adding text to each of the pages.
Content on all pages: Make sure that you have sufficient information about who you are, what you do and what the purpose of the website is.
Blog: Create a blog and have at least a couple of fun and interesting posts written before the launch.
Contact details: Accurate contact details are of paramount importance to your business.
Unique content: Don't copy content from other websites! Everything that appears on the page should be unique. Otherwise, you risk getting penalised by search engines.
Spelling and grammar: If you want people to take you seriously, you have to make sure that all of your content is 100 percent error-free.
Website optimisation is one of the most important aspects of web development. Otherwise, even the best project will be impossible to find. Search engines are a massive source of quality traffic, which is why SEO should never be underestimated.
Choose the right keywords: Incorporating quality keywords in your content and your metatags is essential for getting the position you're hoping for. Google AdWords has an excellent tool that you can use for the purpose of doing keyword research. Here's another great and free keyword research tool.
Page titles: All of your pages and articles should have title and description tags that incorporate the keyword and explain exactly what the page is all about.
Alt tags: Add alt tags to images. And yes, you can optimise the visuals on the website, as well!
URLs: Descriptive URLs that contain the keyword and suggest what the page is all about are also incredibly beneficial in terms of optimisation.
Optimised niche content: The content you write is one of the most important prerequisites for SEO success. Make sure that you've chosen niche topics and you've written unique, engaging pieces that will keep the audience online for a longer period of time.
Sitemap: Creating a sitemap and submitting it to Google Webmaster Tools will speed up the indexing of all your pages. There are many tools that can be used for the purpose of sitemap creation, regardless of the web development process and the platform you've chosen for the website.
Image size: Small images are very important for keeping the size of the website small. They will contribute to faster loading, which is one of the factors that search engines take into consideration.
Contrast and visibility: Once again, check the website on different devices and make sure that the design looks clean and crisp on all of those.
Validation: A few errors could stand in the way of website validation. Experienced developers will be capable of running a test and identifying the problem.
Alt tags: All images need to have clear and well-written alt tag.
Responsive design: This is the key to having your website look great, regardless of the device that it's being viewed on. Make sure that your website's design is responsive and it adapts to the size of the screen.
These are just some of the essentials that will need to be examined. An experienced web design company team will guide you through the process and make sure that all of the mistakes are fixed before the launch of your website. Fixing errors on the go after the website goes live is a big no-no and it can cost you many visitors.

With warm temperatures and the recent rarity of no threat of rain, 22 women turned up this evening to race. Most reported it as being a slow night, citing wind direction, thick air, or other explanations, but still five of 19 managed to improve upon their previous 2008 WTT 15km best, while three of those improved upon their previous database best. Here is a graph showing all of this year's 15km performances for tonight's competitors who have ridden at least one earlier 15km WTT event earlier this year.
It is fun to see the age handicapped times after applying the OBC Age Handicap Method of 2003, and interesting to see how the British VTTA method might apply both age and gender handicaps to our times tonight.
Thanks to our Helpers: Jim Carver, Jim Glover, Lisa Hébert, Nicole LaViolette, Jackie MacDonald, Don Wilson.

Q: can we execute different SPs in a stored procedure same time? In my stored procedure there are 3 stored procedures for three tables.Each  I am passing parameters & stored procedure name from front end(designed in asp.net 4.0)
can we execute that 3 SP's at the same time i.e. parallel execution so that I can minimize stored procedure execution time?

A: You will need to split up the stored procedure into three separate stored procedures and execute them on three different connections.
It may also be possible, in theory, to write a stored procedure using the CLR in a .Net language and use multithreading to achieve your goal. That option would be more complex. I can't say any more about the second option because I have not actually done it.
See Multi-threaded code in CLR Stored Procs?

Q: Cancel jobs submitted previous to a date or with JOBID lower than a given integer I have realized that the jobs submitted with a previous version of my software are useless because of a bug, so I want to cancel them. However, I also have newer jobs that I would like to keep running. All the jobs have the same job name and are running in the same partition.
I have written the following script to cancel the jobs with an ID lower than a given one.
#!\bin\bash

if [ $1 ]
then
    MAX_JOBID=$1
else
    echo "An integer value is needed"
    exit
fi

JOBIDLIST=$(squeue -u $USER -o "%F")

for JOBID in $JOBIDLIST
do
    if [ "$JOBID" -lt "$MAX_JOBID" ]
    then
        echo "Cancelling job "$JOBID
        scancel $JOBID
    fi
done

I would say that this is a recurrent situation for someone developing a software and I wonder if there is a direct way to do it using slurm commands. Alternatively, do you use some tricks like appending the software commit ID to the job name to overcome this kind of situations?

A: Unfortunately there is no direct way to cancel the job in such scenarios.
Alternatively, like you pointed out, naming the job by adding software version/commit along with job name is useful. In that case you can use, scancel --name=JOB_NAME_VERSION to cancel all the jobs with that job name.
Also, if newly submitted jobs can be hold using scontrol hold <jobid> and then all the PENDING job can be cancelled using scancel --state=PENDING
In my case, I used a similar approach (like yours) by having squeue piped the output to awk and cancelled the first N number of jobs I wanted to remove. Its a one-liner script.
Something like this:
eg: squeue arguments | awk 'NR>=2 && NR<=N{print $1}' | xargs /usr/bin/scancel

A: In addition to the suggestions by @j23, you can organise your jobs with

*

*job arrays ; if all your jobs are similar in terms of submission script, make them a job array, and submit one job array per version of your software. Then you can cancel an entire job array with just one scancel command

*a workflow management system ; they enable submitting and managing sets of jobs (possibly on different clusters) easily

Travel InspirationTravel Tales
Sponsored by The Marriott Bonvoy Boundless™ Card from Chase • December 07, 2021
Finding Your Flow in Las Vegas
Vegas may be in the desert, but there's still an abundance of water-based fun to be had at lakes, rivers, and wetlands just beyond The Strip.
Photo ©Nick Fewings
Though COVID-19 has stalled many travel plans, we hope our stories can offer inspiration for your current—and future—adventures.
When planning a trip to Las Vegas, most people don't consider scuba diving around a boat wreck, hiking past waterfalls, or searching for endangered fish in spring-fed wetlands. But these water-based activities—and more—are widely available nearby at places like Lake Mead, Red Rock Canyon, and Death Valley. For water-filled fun beyond your hotel pool, head to the rivers, parks, and wildlife refuges surrounding Vegas and prepare to discover an unexpected side of the Neon Capital of the World.
Your stylish home base
The JW Marriott Las Vegas Resort & Spa is a desert oasis.
Every great adventure needs a starting point, and you'll find yours at the JW Marriott Las Vegas Resort & Spa. Located in Summerlin, this Mediterranean-style hotel is just minutes from The Strip—close to the action but removed enough from the bustle. Rooms and suites pamper guests with pillow-top bedding and marble bathrooms with jetted tubs, while dining options include American, Asian, and Italian restaurants, as well as a poolside grill, buffet, café, and deli. When not winning big at the onsite Rampart Casino, guests can play 18 holes on the championship golf course, indulge at the full-service Spa Aquae, or simply relax by the pool, which features cabanas, a waterfall, and a grotto.
Wake and lake

Fuel up for your first day of exploration at Bagel Café, just a four-minute drive east of the JW Marriott. The New York-inspired spot serves 20 different kinds of freshly baked bagels, plus egg sandwiches, potato pancakes, and a variety of delicious pastries. Once you've had your fill, head straight for Lake Mead National Recreation Area. The country's first and largest national recreation area, it spans 1.5 million acres that include Lake Mead and Lake Mohave, vast bodies of water that offer a range of water activities in a picturesque setting.
With more than 290 square miles of waterway to navigate, the area is ideal for boating. Experience the thrill of the open water or anchor in a hidden cove, or go kayaking, canoeing, or paddle boarding across either lake, surrounded by colorful mountains. Boat and equipment rentals—as well as several guided tours—are available at the marinas. You can even attempt tubing, waterskiing, wakeboarding, or wake surfing with outfitters like Las Vegas Water Sports.
Famous for its striped bass, Lake Mead National Recreation Area also offers some of the country's best sport fishing. Cast your line off Hemenway or Katherine Landing piers or go to Willow Beach, where rainbow trout are regularly released on Fridays. If you'd rather swim with the fish, know that Lake Mead is one of the top freshwater lakes in the world for scuba diving, with a range of depths and submerged sites for both novice and experienced divers. Discover irregular erosion forms at the Gypsum Reefs; fin around a sunken tow barge; or explore Cabinsite Point, the resting place of two separate boat wrecks. For a guided tour, go with Las Vegas Scuba or Scuba Training and Technology to the B-29 Superfortress, a protected cultural resource submerged in Overton Arm.
Those that prefer rivers to lakes will want to check out the Black Canyon National Water Trail, located within Lake Mead National Recreation Area. The 30-mile stretch of the Colorado River, running from the Hoover Dam to Eldorado Canyon, flows past beaches, caves, coves, hot springs, and vast wilderness. While paddling down the trail, you might spot desert bighorn sheep and other wildlife on the cliffs that line the river as well as historic structures associated with the construction of the Hoover Dam.
Back in Summerlin for the evening, grab dinner at Honey Salt, a favorite for its comfort food and homey decor. Dishes range from caramelized sea scallops and Scottish salmon to buttermilk fried chicken and charred filet mignon.
Several ways to water

The next day, start your morning at The Cracked Egg, a cozy diner with a menu of breakfast classics and updates like a ham-and-cheese French toast sandwich. Then make the 12-minute drive to Red Rock Canyon, Nevada's very first National Conservation Area. Amid the desert cliffs, rock formations, and tributary canyons, it might not be obvious where the water is but just follow the trails. The 2.2-mile Ice Box Canyon is a challenging hike and along the way you'll pass seasonal waterfalls flowing down from the mountains. There's also the four-mile, more moderate White Rock–Willow Springs trail, which descends to a man-made water hole called a guzzler.
For something a bit less extreme, opt to visit Floyd Lamb Park at Tule Springs, also just a short drive from the JW Marriott. The 680-acre park is full of wildlife, lush vegetation, views of the Sheep and Spring Ranges, and sparkling lakes. Tucked inside the park is the historic Tule Springs Ranch, where you can learn about a traditional working ranch and the early Las Vegas lifestyle.
If you're game to venture a little further from your hotel, you can take a tour with Hoover Dam Rafting Adventures around the impressive Hoover Dam. You'll journey just far enough down the Colorado River to get a feel for the surreal setting, while enjoying rare views of the dam and new bypass bridge from the water. You can also expect to see concrete slabs, steps, and rails used to build the dam, as well as features like the Old Catwalk, the Gauging Station, and removed rock hillsides.
Whichever you choose, finish with dinner at Other Mama across from Desert Breeze park in Summerlin. Known for its raw bar and innovative cocktails, the low-key spot offers a menu of seafood like ceviche, spicy tuna tartare, and scallop carpaccio, plus sushi and a healthy sampling of other Japanese dishes.
Venture further afield

Today's first stop is nearly two hours away, so head to The Goodwich before getting on the road. The Downtown Vegas spot has some of the best sandwiches in the city, including the "Ham&" with mostarda and the Fluff n' Nut with house-made fluff and Nutella.
Once you've assembled the perfect picnic, start the 90-minute drive to Ash Meadows National Refuge. With 24,000 acres of spring-fed wetlands and alkaline desert, it's the largest remaining oasis in the Mojave Desert and home to nearly 30 species of plants and animals that don't exist anywhere else on earth. The water here is known as fossil water, because it comes from melted ice from the last Ice Age and has a bright blue hue, providing a stunning contrast against the harsh desert landscape. Take tons of pictures while imagining how mammoths once drank from these very springs, then check out Devils Hole—a water-filled, geothermal cave that's more than 500 feet deep and the only natural habitat for the highly endangered Devils Hole pupfish.
Directly east of Ash Meadows is the more widely known Death Valley National Park, where most visitors come to experience the panorama of rugged canyons and mountains. You're here, however, to seek out the springs and seeps—oases in the desert where groundwater reaches the land's surface. Ranging from small, seasonal seeps that go dry in summer to perennial streams that flow all year long, these water sources support an abundance of plant and animal life, including bighorn sheep, mountain lions, birds, and some fish that have evolved to live only here. As wetland and riparian areas decrease, the importance of these pristine habitats in Death Valley increase, so if you find one, consider yourself lucky.
If you're up for covering some serious distance, make the roughly 2.5-hour drive to Grand Canyon National Park. A UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1979, the park encompasses 277 miles of the Colorado River, offering incredible rafting opportunities. For something that can be done in a day trip, book the Horseshoe Bend Rafting Experience with Glen Canyon Rafting Hospitality, which includes a gentle float down 15 miles of river with stops at Glen Canyon Dam, Petroglyph Beach, Horseshoe Bend, and Lees Ferry. The outfitter also offers anywhere from 3.5- to 12-day rafting trips, during which groups experience the thrill of rapids while also learning about the history and geology of the Colorado River.
Close out your trip with dinner at La Strega, a beloved Italian spot where chef Gina Marinelli serves traditional fare from Lake Como and Sicily.

Nintendo has announced a new version of its Wii console. The crimson-bordered Wii Mini is a trimmed-down Nintendo Wii, taking away both GameCube compatibility (which already happened in the 2011 edition) and, more importantly, Internet access.
Removing online access would make the Wii Mini the most barebone among the Wii's, just like previous Nintendo consoles that plays games and nothing else. However, the console still has parental controls that let parents manage the content their children can access.
The Nintendo Wii Mini will be available exclusively in Canada beginning December 7th for $ 99.99. No word yet on whether it will become available in other markets. It comes with a red Wii Remote Plus, a red Nunchuk controller, and is compatible with most Wii accessories.

RIP Flo Steinberg, Marvel's 'Fabulous Flo'
Filed to:RIP
Steinberg as she appeared in Marvel What If #11. Art by Jack Kirby.
Flo Steinberg, one of the earliest Marvel employees and an American indie comics icon, has passed away. When Marvel Comics began, she and Stan Lee were the company's first and only employees; as Lee's secretary and assistant, she responded to fan mail, helped manage Marvel's small offices with Lee, and ran the Merry Marvel Marching Society, Marvel's first fan club, and saw the company transform into the pop culture icon it is today from the ground up.
Steinberg ultimately moved on from Marvel in 1968, but she was forever immortalized in the pages of the company's work, not just through her fan mail responses but even as a co-star in Marvel What If #11. The tale imagined the original Marvel "bullpen" of office workers—Steinberg, Lee, Sol Brodsky, and Jack Kirby—transformed into the Fantastic Four, with Flo taking on the role of the Invisible Woman: a "fit projection of Flo Steinberg's courageous dedication to a venture filled with countless dangers," as Kirby wrote.
After she left Marvel, Steinberg went on to make more comics history: in 1975 she went on to publish Big Apple Comix, one of the first American indie comics. Steinberg would later return to Marvel as a proofreader in the '90s, and was still occasionally proofreading comics for the company up until recently, according to Ryan Penagos, vice-president and executive editor of Marvel's digiaal media.
Here's a brief statement Marvel released on her passing:
We are incredibly saddened to hear of Flo Steinberg's passing and send our deepest condolences to her friends and family. Flo has always been the heart of Marvel and a legend in her own right. She will be forever missed and always loved by all of us here at Marvel.
Our thoughts go out to her family, friends, and colleagues at Marvel.

Pole Star's Contribution to the UN's Sustainable Development Goals
This year Pole Star has positively contributed towards the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
This year Pole Star has positively contributed towards the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). In 2015, UN countries adopted the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the 17 SDGs that range from ending poverty and hunger, to reducing gender and inter-country inequalities. In conjunction with Goals 5 and 14, we have committed to positively impact Gender Equality and Life Below Water.
Sustainable Development Goal 5 aims to achieve gender equality by empowering women; something that Pole Star has been committed to since signing the Women in Maritime Pledge last year and is hugely prevalent today, on Human Rights Day. The day marks the anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, a milestone document that proclaimed the rights to which everyone is inherently entitled, regardless of gender, race, religion, etc, and to which we are still striving towards.
Recent data has shown that women globally have unequal opportunities for work, political engagement, and economic resources. As such, they represent only 39% of world employment and only 27% of managerial positions, alongside having an average representation in parliaments of 24.2%. While these figures are steadily improving, the maritime workforce is still only made up of 2% women, suggesting that traditional gender roles remain and continue to prevent women from joining male-centric industries. However, at Pole Star we're making strides to change this as a company made up of over 40% women, of which a third are in managerial positions; a figure which we hope to only increase over the coming year.
We are also determined to raise awareness around this, so last month we hosted a charity bake-off in our London office to raise money for UN Women, the UN's entity for gender equality and the elimination of violence against women – not just because it's a human right, but because it's good for business too.
The organisation strives to create global change by working with governments, communities, and individuals to help remove the social and cultural barriers that legally prevent more than 2.7 billion women from having the same job choice as men and cause them to earn only 77% of every dollar that men earn. Our bake-off was hugely successful and we are pleased to announce that we raised a great amount of money for the cause!
Perhaps more immediately relatable to Pole Star and the maritime industry is SDG 14, which aims to conserve and sustainably use the oceans, seas, and marine resources, while encouraging the protection of marine biodiversity. With the adverse effects of overfishing, growing ocean acidification due to climate change, and worsening coastal eutrophication, the need to be more responsible with our oceans is ever-increasing.
Over the past 30 years ocean acidity caused by CO2 uptake has increased by 26%, while world marine fish stocks within biologically sustainable levels have declined from 90% in 1974, to 66.9% in 2015. With Pole Star's Environment Vessel Efficiency (EVE) application, vessel owners can be prepared for and compliant with environmental regulations, assisting the shipping industry in reducing its carbon footprint and improving the condition of our oceans.
Illegal, unreported, and unregulated (IUU) fishing is a great threat to our oceans, sustainable fisheries, and those that depend on them for their livelihoods. SDG 14 aims to effectively regulate harvesting and end overfishing, IUU fishing, and destructive fishing practices, in order to restore fish stocks, bringing them back to a sustainable level. Our Fisheries VMS application helps with this by tracking and monitoring fishing vessels, alongside generating reports and managing permits and licences to ensure legal and regulated fishing practices.
In 2020, we will continue to work towards the Sustainable Development Goals by continuing our push towards gender equality and improving life below water.

How Crocs is reducing its customer service call times
April Berthene | Jun 19, 2019
Crocs linked its back-end customer data systems to allow agents to quickly access shopper information, which reduces customer service calls by 90 seconds.
Crocs Inc. has trimmed the time it takes its call center agents to help shoppers by 30% thanks to technology that gives it a more complete picture of a shopper's profile.
The footwear consumer brand manufacturer is a year and a half into a pilot program with ecommerce platform and technology provider Salesforce.com Inc.'s recently announced Customer 360 software. The new software connects Crocs' customer service cloud with its other back-end customer databases, such as order management or marketing. This allows a customer service agent to see information about the customer when she calls in.
2021 Top 1000 Report
Previously, agents would have to ask the shopper for information such as her billing and shipping addresses to answer common questions, such as "Where is my order?" While Crocs has that information stored in its system, the agent didn't have immediate access to it because the data lived in separate systems and wasn't connected. That process slowed down agents' response times and could be frustrating for shoppers, Harvey Bierman, vice president of ecommerce technology and operations at Crocs told Internet Retailer at the Salesforce Connections conference in Chicago.
About 80% of shoppers check out on Crocs.com purchase as a guest, which can hinder its ability to attach her information to a previously saved customer profile. For example, a shopper might have used a yahoo.com email address with her prior purchase but a gmail.com address with her current order. Or she may have changed her name or moved. With Customer 360, Crocs can match that data about a shopper and determine if a shopper, who may have used a different email address or name, is likely to be one person and tie it to a unique identifier.
The new software allows an agent to access all of the information about the shopper tied to that unique identifier from separate systems. So when the shopper gives her name, the agent can just ask for a confirmation, such as "Is your address still on Lincoln Avenue?"
For the average customer service call of 4 minutes and 30 seconds, the Customer 360 software has trimmed 90 seconds off the call to 3 minutes, which is a 30% reduction in call time. That's "pretty good," Bierman says, particularly given that up to 30% of U.S. consumers who place an order on Crocs.com orders contact a call center, he says. Common customer service calls are about finding orders, returns, refunds and placing orders over the phone, he says.
The cost savings of reduced call center time is hard to quantify, but Crocs believes it helps improve the customer experience for several reasons. Besides a shorter call, having an easy-to-use back-end system keeps its agents happy, Bierman says. An agent no longer needs to have multiple screens that she has to pivot to, login and look up information in several disparate systems. A happier agent allows the employee to stay positive as a customer calls in, plus reduces agent turnover and training time, he says without providing specifics.
Having all of this data tied together can be used in other ways in the future, Bierman says. For example, if Crocs knows that a shopper called the call center and then rated that call negatively, it could opt that shopper out of receiving marketing emails from Crocs for a month, or however long it chooses.
In the testing period, Crocs and Salesforce have iterated on the new software, such as fixing bugs. Although the software will likely be ready to go live in November, Crocs plan to launch it after the holiday 2019 season.
Crocs has used Salesforce, or one of its subsidiaries such as Demandware, for the past 10 years, Bierman says. Crocs Inc. is No. 292 in the Internet Retailer 2019 Top 1000. Salesforce has 409 retail clients in Internet Retailer's Top 1000.
