Construction almost restored on Henry Ford bakery building in Richmond Hill
RICHMOND HILL, GA (WTOC) - The recipe for history is coming together nicely in Richmond Hill as construction nears a completion on the restored Henry Ford bakery building.
The city purchased the building about two years ago and salvaged about 50 percent of the exterior and much more of the interior, including the tongue-and-groove wooden walls. Landmark Preservation was the general contractor for the eight-month project to turn the authentic Ford building into what will be the new Richmond Hill visitors' bureau - as well as public space.
"We're going to share the space with our local arts commission, which is called Arts on the Coast, so the front area will be a space where visitors can learn where to eat, where to stay, where to play in Richmond Hill, and then the back part will be an art gallery where people can come see some of our local artistry," said Christy Sherman, Richmond Hill Convention and Visitors Bureau.
"It's always rewarding to see a building brought back from utter demise, but more importantly, it is exciting to see that it will be for public use and the public will have an opportunity to experience the history and how it relates to Richmond Hill. It's very exciting for us. We're excited to show it to Richmond Hill residents and visitors and just showcase what we have," said Greg Jacobs, Landmark Preservation.
The new visitor's center is on target for a grand opening shortly after the new year. When it is completed, historic items including the bakery's original mixer and work table will be on display there.

Q: Construct an isometric isomorphism between $L_p(\mathbb{R})$ and $L_p[0;1]$ I know that $L_p(\mathbb{R})$ and $L_p[0;1], \; p<+\infty$ are isometrically isomorphic, which means that there is an isomorphism that respects norm.
The question is how to construct it?

A: Consider a bijective function $\varphi\colon (0,1)\to\mathbb R$ with continuous derivative, and such that $\lim_{x\to 0}\varphi(x)=-\infty$ and $\lim_{x\to 1}\varphi(x)=+\infty$. Then define a map
$$\Psi\colon \mathbb L^p(\mathbb R)\to \mathbb L^p((0,1)), \Psi\colon\left(x\mapsto f(x)\right)\mapsto \left(x\mapsto f\left(\psi(x)\right)\varphi'(x)\right).$$
Then we can check that $\Psi$ has the wanted properties.

Progress Report: Jourdan Lewis' Career Year
DallasCowboys.com Staff Writer
(Editor's Note: With over 20 players set for unrestricted free agency, the Cowboys' roster is destined to look much different in 2022. Still, a large percentage of their roster is already in place, and they'll have plenty of work to do to improve last season's 12-5 record. In the coming weeks, the staff of DallasCowboys.com will evaluate those players already under contract, examining their past performance and future outlook. Today, we continue the series with cornerback Jourdan Lewis..)
The Good: It's fair to say this entire Cowboy cornerback crew had a career outing in Dan Quinn's first season as defensive coordinator.
Like Anthony Brown, Jourdan Lewis didn't reach the dizzying highs of Trevon Diggs, but there's no debating that the 2021 season was his best since getting drafted 92nd overall back in 2017.
Lewis played 16 games and made 13 starts as the Cowboys' nickel back, setting career highs for interceptions (3) and pass breakups (11). ProFootballFocus graded Lewis at a decent 62.1 in coverage, with 54 receptions on 81 targets on the year.
When he signed his three-year, $13.5 million extension last spring, Lewis was hopeful for more opportunity under Quinn. In 2021, he made the most of it.
The Bad: Perhaps the best compliment you can pay Lewis is that he was rarely victimized throughout a full season playing in the slot, with just a few exceptions.
One of those came in the season opener, when Tom Brady looked Lewis' way in finding Chris Godwin for a pivotal 24-yard gain to set up Tampa Bay's game-winning field goal. It's fair to wonder if Godwin pushed off to create separation for the catch, but Lewis did not get the call and the Buccaneers went on to win the game.
Best Of 2021: Lewis played one of the most active games of his career in the 21-6 road win against the New York Giants. His interception of Mike Glennon on a batted ball by DeMarcus Lawrence set the Cowboys up for their first touchdown of the game. In addition to the pick, he was credited with four pass breakups as the Cowboys held the Giants to 178 passing yards and no touchdowns.
Contract Consideration: Similarly to Brown in 2020, Lewis signed a moderate veteran extension last year and has lived up to it so far.
An average salary of $4.5 million simply isn't a large number by NFL standards, and the Cowboys got good return on their investment in this first year of the deal. Lewis is set to make $3 million in 2022, with a cap hit of $4.6 million. The Cowboys could save $2.3 million by releasing him this offseason – though it would be surprising to see them do that.
What's Next: The main reason that'd be surprising is because Lewis is currently this team's most experienced option in the slot.
Anthony Brown has the versatility to play inside and has done so before, but the vast majority of Lewis' 77 appearances and 39 starts have come in the slot.
The Cowboys did draft Kelvin Joseph and Nahshon Wright at the cornerback position last spring, but neither of them spent time in the slot as rookies – and both of them are better suited to play outside, to be frank.
Things change quickly in this league, but right now it feels likely that Lewis will be back as the Cowboys' primary nickel corner in 2022.
Progress Report: Zeke Battled Through Knee Issue
A knee injury likely robbed Ezekiel Elliott of reaching optimum production in 2021, though he did hit 1,000 rushing yards once again and will eye a healthier 2022 season.

Progress Report: Anthony Brown Deserves Credit
Anthony Brown deserves credit for a strong 2021 season, but the fact remains that there are two highly-drafted corners behind him on the depth chart.

PrintSmart for LEAP (formerly known as Scan to LEAP) allows for large documents to be captured and sent directly to the matter.
LEAP Cost Recovery automatically allocate costs to the matter for scans and copies, whilst making any scanned content text searchable via optical character recognition (*OCR).
Scan documents up to 120MB in size!
Boab IT developed the PrintSmart for LEAP functionality to help Law Firms be more efficient and automatically capture the associated costs.
To make life even easier, we have now included a PrintSmart for LEAP licence with every Sharp MFD sold by Boab IT.
This simply enhances the already powerful solution a Sharp MFD can offer your firm.
Whilst scanning a document may sound simple, there is quite a lot that actually happens with PrintSmart for LEAP. Here are the top three examples of what PrintSmart for LEAP can provide your firm.
Traditionally, a document would be scanned to an email. The user would then find the email and uploaded or attach it to a matter. What if the scanned document was too big? It would never arrive or you would see a bounce back error. This can happen several times as large documents might need to be scanned in two, three or more parts. Who knows how many times you need to try until your scan is under these limits.
PrintSmart for LEAP can handle hundreds of pages per single scan reducing time spent on capturing documents to a single file and/or matter helping improve overall integrity and consistency of your document management.
Over 75% of firms don't recover their document management costs accurately. The main reason behind this is the time it takes to manually record the information, usually once at the machine and again into the Practice Management or accounting application.
PrintSmart for LEAP automatically allocates the cost recovery amount to the matter the document has been scanned to, whilst recording which user completed the work and when.
What about copies? Not a problem, just select the whether its a duplex copy and the total number of copies and you are done.
The time it can take to scan or copy a document varies. Whether a single page or complete brief needs to be digitised, when following the tradition scan to file or scan to email, there is a lot of double handling and wasted storage required to complete this simple task.
With PrintSmart for LEAP, everything is done in one action and captured automatically reducing these tasks by saving each individual up to 60% of the time it would take following the traditional methods.
What features are included with PrintSmart for LEAP?
What happens when I order PrintSmart for LEAP?
If you order PrintSmart for LEAP on its own, we will issue an authorisation key which is required to activate your Sharp MFD. We will also send a Setup Guide, which are also available online, showing you the steps needed to connect your Sharp MFD to PrintSmart for LEAP. This whole process takes lass than a few hours.
Once you have setup your Sharp MFD, you will need to enter your LEAP username and password into our Portal to complete the integration.
What are PrintSmart for LEAP minimum requirements?
Performance of the PrintSmart for LEAP application is dependent on the upload speed of the internet connection at the location of the Sharp MFD.
LEAP and Boab IT may make adjustments and improvements to the PrintSmart for LEAP integration which may impact on the speed documents are uploaded and receive by LEAP.
OCR capabilities are dependent on the model of Sharp MFD.

If you want to help Haiti after Hurricane Matthew, here's why you should reconsider donating to the American Red Cross.
Photo: Phil Roeder
Amanda Machado
When Hurricane Matthew hit Haiti last week, Haitian-American writer France Francois posted on her social media page:
"In the coming days, many of you are going to write and ask me how you can "help Haiti". Here are my suggestions: 1. Don't give to the American Red Cross."
Her post led me on a internet search that uncovered the many legitimate complaints Haitians have towards the organization, and data that shows they have every right to lose trust in the American Red Cross.
After the 2010 earthquake in Haiti, Iowa Senator Chuck Grassley launched a year-long investigation on the American Red Cross' work in the country. NPR reported these findings from that investigation:
"The Red Cross repeatedly has told the public that all but 9 percent of donations spent go to humanitarian programs. But Grassley's office found that 25 percent of donations sent to Haiti — or nearly $125 million — were spent on fundraising and management, a contingency fund and the catchall category the Red Cross calls "program expenses…The charity insisted to congressional investigators that $70 million spent on "program expenses" included funds to oversee and evaluate its Haiti programs. But Grassley's office found that the charity "is unable to provide any financial evidence that oversight activities in fact occurred."
Several other reports found that the Red Cross had given millions to outside organizations without ever evaluating their results. Money switched hands among these organizations instead of directly helping Haitian people. Other reports found that instead of the 13,000 permanent homes the organization promised to build, it built only six.
Last year, The Guardian reported that the American Red Cross had also "faced accusations of mismanagement before, including withholding funds after 9/11, delays of emergency supplies after hurricane Katrina, and disarrayed and selective relief after hurricane Sandy."
Haitian activists and development workers also criticized the way American Red Cross employees have treated locals. Haitian-American Judith St. Fort, the director of the Red Cross Haiti Program, wrote a memo arguing that American Red Cross managers had disparaged Haitian employees. Another report by ProPublica found that the American Red Cross consistently favored hiring expats who sometimes received huge salaries in comparison to Haitian employees. Meanwhile, few Haitians ever got promoted. The report stated:
"According to an internal Red Cross budgeting document for the project in Campeche, the project manager — a position reserved for an expatriate — was entitled to allowances for housing, food, and other expenses, home leave trips, R&R four times a year, and relocation expenses. In all, it added up to $140,000. Compensation for a senior Haitian engineer — the top local position — was less than one-third of that, $42,000 a year.'"
All of these reports follow troubling patterns we've seen before with development work: inefficiently managing money so that it never directly reaches locals, and replicating a "white savior" dynamic that assumes that those from abroad know more than those on the ground.
To be clear, both Charity Watch and Charity Navigator — two organizations dedicated to tracking the results of nonprofit organizations and holding them accountable — still rank the American Red Cross somewhat highly. But much of that rating comes from the organization's largely successful blood donation programs, and not specifically from their work in disaster relief in Haiti.
The point is not to get so disillusioned with humanitarian aid that we stop giving all together. The point is to become more and more aware of which organizations help others most effectively and hold the others accountable for what they do wrong.
So how can we still help? The first step is to never assume that we know more about a country's situation than its citizens do. As Francois mentioned, "If you've never spent a minimum of 9 months in Haiti (gestation period counts), answer any questions about it with "I'm not an expert in this matter but I can refer you to someone who may be able to help you."
With that framework in mind, it may be better to donate money to organizations led by locals, who understand the historical and personal context of their country, and therefore have a better idea of what it needs in times of crisis. Here's a list of Haitian-led organizations to send your money to:
Konbit Mizik
Haiti Communitere
ACFFC
Sakala Haiti
Volontariat pour le Développement d'Haïti
Sowaseed
Konbit Solèy Leve
Haitian American Caucus
FONHEP (Fondation Haitienne de l'Education Privée)
Award-winning Haitian writer Edwidge Danticat also suggested organizations on her Facebook page, saying "These are primarily organizations that have been working in the most affected areas for years and are, for the most part, Haitian-led."
Gaskov Clerge Foundation
Fondation Aquin Solidarité
The Three Little Flowers Center
Paradis des Indiens
Project Saint Anne
Fonkoze
The Lambi Fund of Haiti
Flying High for Haiti
Saint Boniface Foundation
PRODEV
It's also important to mention that not all Red Cross organizations have this reputation either. For example, some reports have argued that the Canadian Red Cross may have had better results than the American Red Cross at helping in Haiti's recovery.
And, not all non-Haitian organizations have histories of wasted aid and a lack of accountability. Below are a few of these organizations that have better track records in the country:

Meet Your Hosts
With stunning lake views, lush gardens and landscaping, and a classic wrap-around porch, the Greenway House Bed and Breakfast is a relaxing retreat in the heart of Green Lake, Wisconsin. Our rich history and picture perfect location evoke feelings of a return to simpler times.
The Greenway House revives the historic beauty and majesty of the former retirement home of David Greenway, who established the Green Lake area one of Wisconsin's most popular resort destinations. In 1850, David Greenway came from England and settled in nearby Ripon where he operated a farm and variety store as well as serving as an agent for Livingstone and Fargo Express Company.
Greenway was a man of intelligence, means and vision who led the development of tourism in the area by building the Oakwood Hotel in 1867. He built the original Greenway family home in 1880, adjacent to the Oakwood property, and lived there with his family until his death in 1905.
When you visit the Greenway House, you'll see many preserved original features including stained glass windows, maple floors, pocket doors, decorative cedar siding, the classic front door and box lattice skirt boards below the floor line of the wrap-around porch.
At the Greenway House Bed and Breakfast, you're surrounded by nearly two centuries of history while you soak up the beauty and serenity of the present moment.

Breath of the Wild Becomes 2nd-Best Selling Zelda Game of All-Time
February 5, 2018 February 5, 2018 Caleb Mina
In a surprise to no one, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild has officially become the 2nd highest-selling game in the franchises' deep history. According to Nintendo's earnings reports, the latest Zelda release has sold approximately 7.8 million units globally, so far. The bar graph below highlights this:
Zelda series units sold – (Game Design Gazette)
To put this into a little more perspective, Breath of the Wild is the highest-selling Zelda game in Japan to come out within the last 20 years, selling almost 1 million units there. This is remarkable as Japan generally avoids open-world RPG's; in fact, the previous highest-selling Zelda game there was The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass, which was designed specifically for the Japanese audience.
While Breath of the Wild has been a huge success, we must remember that it was a launch title game. Ironically enough, this isn't the first time a Zelda was released for launch: the best-selling Zelda game of all-time, Twilight Princess, also partnered the Wii for its release. As we wrote about earlier, the Switch is slated to continue to receive support for the next few years, more than likely aiding Breath of the Wild in taking the crown for the best-selling Zelda game ever.

An all-party parliamentary group has called for post-occupancy evaluation (POE) to be made mandatory.
The All Party Group for Excellence in the Built Environment has issued A Better Deal for Public Building, which recommends POE is carried out on all public sector projects valued above £5 million.
The Group, chaired by Sir Tony Baldry MP, believes that POE will "help determine good and bad design practice".
Other key recommendations include the creation of a Best Practice Procurement Advisory Group to assist inexperienced public sector to adopt appropriate procurement arrangements. The APPG also supports the use Soft Landings and phased handover to improve commissioning.
BSRIA provides independent Building Performance Evaluation and Soft Landings guidance and support. Contact BSRIA on +44 (0)1344 465600 or fm@bsria.co.uk for more information.

Interview: Phoebe Bridgers
By David | Published: September 22, 2021
After a weird couple of years, Phoebe Bridgers is ready to have a normal one. Bridgers is finally on tour after two years of an astonishing rise. Since the pandemic, the indie singer-songwriter has released her widely acclaimed second album (the gorgeous "Punisher"), been the subject of a New Yorker profile, made her "Saturday Night […]

Interview: Novelist Yaa Gyasi
Though she only just published her second novel, reconciliation is already a favorite theme of Yaa Gyasi. Her masterful 2016 debut, "Homegoing," which spanned centuries in Ghana and the United States, portrayed characters who wrestled with past familial and societal upheaval in order to live in the present. "Transcendent Kingdom," which came out earlier this […]

Interview: New Pornographers
By David | Published: November 1, 2019
Indie rock band the New Pornographers have been around a while. So long, in fact, that their own frontman, Carl Newman, described their new album — the band's eighth — as having a "classic Pornographers sound" in its promo materials. It's been 19 years since the band released "Mass Romantic," an intended one-off by a […]
Interview: Tegan and Sara
By David | Published: October 23, 2019
It's common for thirtysomethings to reminisce about high school — by flipping through yearbooks, maybe, or looking up old friends. Indie pop stalwarts Tegan and Sara have gone many steps further: they've written a memoir about their teen years and recorded an album of songs they wrote during that period.

Interview: Carly Rae Jepsen
By David | Published: July 11, 2019
Carly Rae Jepsen recently got locked in on her own tour bus. It wasn't due to anything nefarious. Stepping off that bus for this interview while parked somewhere near Indianapolis, she blames a "jiggly handle" on the bus door. Jepsen recounts this story with the tone of a bemused road veteran. In fact, it's been […]
Interview: John Darnielle of the Mountain Goats
By David | Published: April 25, 2019
By the time Mountain Goats frontman John Darnielle gave this interview, word had spread that the North Carolina-based band's new record, "In League With Dragons," was based on table-top role-playing game Dungeons and Dragons. Darnielle says those rumors are false. "The record began life as an actual rock opera," he says, about a "besieged" seaside […]
Interview: Chris Redd
By David | Published: March 13, 2019
Chris Redd's laugh is a wonder to behold. It's a loud, sudden thing, a cackling that sounds as if he's just realized how funny he is. The laugh happens several times during a phone interview with the longtime stand-up, sketch actor, and "Saturday Night Live" featured player. Even though he's very busy — he was […]
Interview: Michelle Wolf
By David | Published: December 26, 2018
Michelle Wolf's career trajectory — with one notable exception — isn't that different from a lot of comics who are managing successful careers. It starts with an unsatisfying day job, which leads to dabbling in improv, and then to stand-up, where the really good ones might get noticed, land TV writing gigs and earn occasional […]
Interview: Rufus Wainwright
By David | Published: November 29, 2018
Rufus Wainwright has been thinking about New York. That's where the celebrated singer-songwriter composed some of the songs that made their way onto "Poses," his breakthrough 2001 record that he is currently revisiting with the All of These Poses tour, which stops at Emerson Colonial Theatre Wednesday. Despite the tour's name, he's also performing many […]
Interview: Sadie Dupuis of Speedy Ortiz
By David | Published: June 20, 2018
Speedy Ortiz frontwoman Sadie Dupuis is nursing a sore back. Given her band's extensive tour — stopping by Royale on June 26 for a sold-out show with Frank Turner and opening for Foo Fighters at Fenway Park on July 22 — and her burgeoning side project, she has a right to be resting. [ Click […]
Interview: John Hodgman
The last time readers heard from writer, humorist, actor, podcast host, and all-around funny and insightful guy John Hodgman, he was satirically peddling fake world knowledge in three surprisingly convincing tomes released between 2005 and 2011. In the meantime, among other pursuits, Hodgman's podcast Judge John Hodgman polished his comic persona as an erudite know-it-all with warmth […]

Interview: Robbie Fulks
In 1936, writer James Agee and photographer Walker Evans ventured into the impoverished American South with the aim of recording their experience with its inhabitants. The resulting book, "Let Us Now Praise Famous Men," was released to acclaim in 1941. Evans wrote years later that Agee was a strong judge of character: "[Agee had] an […]
Essay: David Bowie and Labyrinth
A kidnapped baby. A Bog Of Eternal Stench. A Goblin King whose stretchy pants leave very little to the imagination. In 1986, director Jim Henson, producer George Lucas, and screenwriter Terry Jones combined these and other elements to make Labyrinth, a movie that depicts the horrors of being a teenager as a bedtime story gone […]

Interview: Dan Savage
By David | Published: January 20, 2017
Dan Savage is tired. Not because of his many jobs — nationally syndicated advice columnist, podcaster, LGBT political activist, editorial director for Seattle alt-weekly The Stranger, cofounder of the immensely popular It Gets Better Project for LGBT youth — but because he's doing a phone interview shortly after sunrise to accommodate the time difference between […]
Album review: American Football (2016)
A few stray guitar notes, some studio chatter, a drummer trying out some fills—these inauspicious sounds begin American Football's classic self-titled debut from 1999, a landmark album that spawned countless emo bands that paled in comparison. Those offhand noises gave way to "Never Meant," an unassuming anthem of love gone quietly wrong. The first notes […]
Album review: Innocence Reaches by Of Montreal
By David | Published: August 12, 2016
Kevin Barnes' success as Of Montreal's figurehead and frontman has depended on his ability to balance extremes; funk and balladry, chaos and order, abstraction and focus. Like his stylistic predecessor David Bowie, Barnes usually threads this needle with ease and efficiency, but when that tension breaks to the abstract side, the results leave little for […]
Essay: Hour of Bewilderbeast by Badly Drawn Boy
Records typically live or die by consistency, which is to say they could go either way. In music-critic-speak, a consistent album could either have a "unified sound" or be too similar overall. On the other hand, an erratic grab bag of styles and influences can confuse, disorient, and annoy. Badly Drawn Boy's debut The Hour […]
Interview: Elvis Costello
Elvis Costello's new memoir, Unfaithful Music & Disappearing Ink, is a whirlwind tour of Costello's life as a rock musician, son, father, television host, and songwriting collaborator with Paul McCartney and Burt Bacharach. Like his music, Costello's book is equal parts acerbic and heartfelt, giving scope to the many stylistic detours he and his fellow […]
Book review: Lafayette in the Somewhat United States by Sarah Vowell
Calling Sarah Vowell a historian doesn't seem right. She certainly deserves the title, considering her ability to write beautifully about history and, as the lengthly bibliography at the end of Lafayette In The Somewhat United States proves, research the hell out of her subject. Maybe it's just hard to picture David McCullough or Doris Kearns […]
Album review: Poison Season by Destroyer
The press materials for Poison Season, the 11th record Dan Bejar has recorded under the name Destroyer, cite David Bowie's chamber-pop classic Hunky Dory as an influence this time around. The touchstones—ornate strings, piano flourishes—are certainly there, but Poison Season is a looser, less-constrained affair. With its saxophones, bongos, and violins, it's more of a […]
Album review: The Most Lamentable Tragedy by Titus Andronicus
Given the band's affinity for energy and explosions, Titus Andronicus is often compared to Hüsker Dü and The Clash, but a better corollary might be The Who. Both bands specialize in sudden tonal shifts from bombast to sensitive soul-searching, and like The Who, Titus Andronicus caters in collections of songs that work together for a […]
Interview: The Sklar Brothers
By David | Published: July 8, 2015
Twin brothers Randy and Jason Sklar—together known as the Sklar Brothers—began their stand-up comedy career as part of the New York alternative comedy scene in the mid-'90s. Since then, they have hosted the ESPN comedy show Cheap Seats, released four stand-up albums (the most recent of which, 2014's Sklar Brothers: What Are We Talking About, […]
Interview: "Weird Al" Yankovic
By David | Published: May 28, 2015
When comedian, musician, and parodist "Weird Al" Yankovic broke through to the mainstream in the '80s thanks to hits like "Eat It" and "Fat" (parodies of Michael Jackson's "Beat It" and "Bad," respectively), it was something of a coup for nerds. There on MTV, wedged between Madonna and Bruce Springsteen, was a frizzy-haired, four-eyed oddball […]
Album review: Glean by They Might Be Giants
It's been 33 years since Johns Linnell and Flansburgh formed They Might Be Giants, and 21 since they converted their two-man accordion-guitar-MIDI operation into a multi-instrument group, meaning they've fronted a full-fledged rock band for the majority of their careers. [ Click here for more ]
Interview: H. Jon Benjamin
I grew up in Worcester, so I'm depressed a lot. There was a bleak quality to it. But I have fond memories of Worcester, too. I grew up Jewish, which was depressing, too, but Worcester had a pretty tight Jewish community. You know how they stick together, the Jews. Like kosher glue. [ Click here […]
Book review: Silver Screen Fiend by Patton Oswalt
By David | Published: January 5, 2015
Silver Screen Fiend, stand-up comedian and writer Patton Oswalt's memoir about moviegoing in the '90s, begins and ends at a revival screening of Sunset Boulevard. It's a fitting choice: The 1950 noir is essentially about what movies do to us, and what role a film's viewers—"those wonderful people out there in the dark," as the […]
Interview: Patton Oswalt
Patton Oswalt's new memoir, "Silver Screen Fiend," describes the stand-up comedian's five-year, almost-daily habit of watching movies at LA's New Beverly Cinema in the mid- to late-'90s. The book — his second, after 2011's essay collection "Zombie Spaceship Wasteland" — details his efforts to overcome the obsession, his growth into adulthood, and the then-burgeoning alt-comedy […]
Essay: "Mr. Big Stuff" by Jean Knight
By David | Published: December 2, 2014
There are two kinds of one-hit wonders: The first is where you hear the famous song and think, Of course they didn't have another hit. The song is so dumb, so stupidly ephemeral, there's no way the people responsible could have bothered to try it again. The second is the kind that makes you think […]

Essay: Glass Houses by Billy Joel
Being a Billy Joel fan is a complicated endeavor. "Fan," after all, is short for "fanatic," a word that implies a kind of loyalty that artists like Joel make challenging. At the risk of giving a backhanded compliment, sounding like an apologist, or, perhaps, making a massive understatement, Billy Joel has some shortcomings. [ Click […]
Album review: Tough Love by Jessie Ware
Jessie Ware proudly wears her influences—Sade, Whitney Houston, Prince, and any number of '80s and '90s R&B belters—on her sleeve. But her many strengths as a songwriter and singer outweigh any possible charges of imitation, and her willingness to apply subtlety, make unexpected choices, and take risks are what make Ware such a unique presence. […]
Essay: Wildflowers by Tom Petty
By David | Published: October 3, 2014
For Tom Petty, 1994 was a year of transitions. His contract at MCA had just come to a close with the massively successful Greatest Hits (and its blockbuster single, "Mary Jane's Last Dance") and drummer Stan Lynch acrimoniously left The Heartbreakers. Moreover, Petty's marriage was steadily crumbling and, after two hit records with Jeff Lynne, […]
Album review: Sukierae by Tweedy
Jeff Tweedy is a remarkably versatile songwriter, even when only considering the output of his main gig, Wilco. For every delicate ballad like "Far, Far Away," there's a noise-rock storm like "Kicking Television"; for every Tin Pan Alley pastiche like "Hummingbird," there's a hazy fever dream like "I Am Trying To Break Your Heart." Jeff […]
Interview: Bob Newhart
Talking to Bob Newhart on the phone is strange at first. You half-expect the comedian, whose stand-up act has long featured imaginary phone conversations about bizarre situations, to act like the Empire State Building security guard responding to King Kong's arrival, or Abraham Lincoln's press agent giving feedback about the Gettysburg Address. [ Click here […]
Essay: Why MTV Unplugged matters
During R.E.M.'s Unplugged set in 2001, Michael Stipe glanced at himself in a nearby monitor that was playing a video of the band's first Unplugged show in 1991. He cringed, laughed, and remarked about how "earnest" he looked. He urged the show's producers to turn the damn thing off, though not before remarking coyly, "What […]
Album review: Nikki Nack by Tune-Yards
By David | Published: May 6, 2014
In some respects, Merrill Garbus has come a long way since 2009, when she released her debut as Tune-Yards. That record, the eclectic Bird-Brains, was a homemade delight full of tape loops, faraway vocals, and found-recording snippets. In contrast, Nikki Nack, Garbus' third effort, is polished, meticulously produced, and very much a studio effort. [ […]
Interview: Eugene Mirman
My parents brought me here [from Russia] in the late '70s, and I grew up at a time when there was a stand-up boom. We came here with the idea of becoming anything we wanted and genuinely believing and pursuing the American dream. Not to say that [my parents] probably weren't concerned, but they let […]

Interview: The Both
At first, the combination of Ted Leo and Aimee Mann seems incongruous. Leo got his beginnings in the New York hardcore scene, and he founded the mod-punk band Chisel before branching out to pop-punk with the Pharmacists. Mann, meanwhile, is primarily known for ballads, waltzes, and slow-burning pop songs. Excepting their respective beats-per-minute ratios, however, […]
Album review: Goodbye Yellow Brick Road (reissue) by Elton John
Goodbye Yellow Brick Road's title track is a gorgeous lament about fame, a celebrity's dream of normalcy. The song addresses Elton John's popularity in lyricist Bernie Taupin's opening words: "When are you gonna come down? When are you going to land?" The rocket man was anxious about his trajectory. [ Click here for more ]
Album review: Lost In The Dream by The War on Drugs
The band and its fans are undoubtedly sick of the comparison, but there's no denying it: The War On Drugs sounds like Bruce Springsteen and Dire Straits. Instead of imitating those and other FM mainstays, however, The War On Drugs aims for listeners' feelings about them, and for our collective radio unconscious. On Lost In […]
Interview: Real Estate
It's hard to hear Alex Bleeker, traveling by van on tour with his raucous bandmates, somewhere between San Francisco and Portland, Ore. "Sorry," he says sheepishly, "I'm gettin' ribbed." Bleeker is the bassist for the popular indie-rock band Real Estate, which just released its third record, "Atlas," to very positive reviews. The band performs at […]
Interview: Hannibal Buress
By David | Published: March 7, 2014
A typical Hannibal Buress joke is so deceptively simple that you don't realize its complexity until later, long after it comes together in a weird, hilarious ending. "Whenever people are going through something in life, they get really cliché," starts one joke. "They say stuff like, 'I'm takin' it one day at a time.' You […]
Album review: Atlas by Real Estate
On Real Estate's previous albums—an endearingly woolly self-titled debut; the excellent, vibrant follow-up Days—the balance between offhand and methodical was delicately maintained. Atlas, the New Jersey band's newest effort, too often tips to the "offhand" side of the scale. Despite some strong material, the album is ultimately too light to stay grounded, too loose to […]
Interview: Sue Costello
By David | Published: February 28, 2014
The first thing you notice about Sue Costello is her voice. It's a loud, smoky thing, full of strength and vulnerability, simultaneously world-weary and ready for anything. In those ways, it mirrors Boston itself, and especially Savin Hill, the Dorchester neighborhood where the stand-up comic and actress grew up. [ Click here for more ]
Album review: Close to the Glass by The Notwist
The Notwist's new record sounds very much like the German quartet's previous work—beats glitch, guitars strum, lyrical desperation chills. "We want to be you," Markus Acher sings shakily on "Signals," the album's opener. When he then sings "We want to light your screen," the primary theme of Close To The Glass sinks in: The Notwist […]
Interview: Kurt Braunohler
Comedian Kurt Braunohler has a podcast, excels at self-promotion, and once staged a one-man show. Nothing out of the ordinary for a comedian, right? Not until you consider the particulars: his podcast, "The K Ohle," includes a regular segment that offers fake boat knowledge; recent self-promotion efforts included skywriting that asked, "How do I land?"; […]
Humorist John Hodgman has had many show business personas. Though initially known to most as "PC" in Apple's famous Mac vs. PC television commercials, the Brookline native's career has included three books of fake — and hilarious — world knowledge, a stint as "resident expert" on "The Daily Show," and a Netflix comedy special entitled […]
Interview: Pete Holmes
Lexington-born comic Pete Holmes—perhaps best known as the voice of the E*Trade baby—is debuting a late-night TV show. "I remember growing up and thinking I was on TV when I was 8 years old and wanting something called The Pete Show," Holmes says. "The fact that here I am, 34, on something called The Pete […]
Essay: Paul Simon's "Thelma"
Just as Hearts And Bones is unfairly dismissed as Paul Simon's misstep before Graceland, The Rhythm Of The Saints is too often described as the lackluster follow-up to the 1986 masterpiece. Though it's understandable that the records are considered companion pieces—both Graceland and Saints find Simon taking cues from other cultures, and the records share […]
Album review: All Hail West Texas by the Mountain Goats
A split-second of silence, followed by the whirring of gears. For many years, this is how most Mountain Goats songs began. John Darnielle's Panasonic RX-FT500 boombox is almost as famous as the man who pressed record to document songs that, whether fictional or autobiographical, seemed intensely personal. The fact that the boombox recordings sound like […]
Essay: Longpigs' "On and On"
The "alternative" boom of the '90s produced all kinds of bands. Some pushed themselves through MTV Buzz Bin territory to great artistic rewards; others burned bright and quickly flamed out, not even reaching a sophomore slump. Then there were bands like Longpigs, who were somewhere in between. [ Click here for more ]
Album review: Major Arcana by Speedy Ortiz
Major Arcana, the first full-length from Massachusetts indie-rock outfit Speedy Ortiz, proudly bears its influences—the clean guitars of Liz Phair, the dirty ones of Sonic Youth and Pavement—but dwelling on those touchstones distracts from the record's fervent drive to unsettle and have fun in novel ways.

Standup comedian and Lexington native Eugene Mirman knows exactly why this area is such a breeding ground for comedy.

Album review: Volume 3 by She & Him
The new record by M. Ward and Zooey Deschanel, a.k.a. She & Him, isn't likely to change anybody's opinions about the duo. Deschanel's voice is still rough and imprecise, and the songs, buffed to a folk-pop sheen, are anything but. However, skeptics may want to give it a listen: Volume 3 is a step forward […]
Track review: "Sweater Weather", Parks
By David | Published: April 1, 2013
Oh man, we need songs like this, right? It may not be the most original sound around, but that's kind of the point: it hits the sweet spot in your pop music subconscious, cramming all the minutes of FM radio that you've heard in your lifetime into one sweet little song. [ Click here for […]

Track review: "Tin Horn", Horsehands
This song is bonkers, but that's what I love about it. Psychedelic freakout one minute, Built To Spill-style slow jam the next. I keep listening to it, thinking I'll unlock what makes it hold together, but I can't figure it out. Let's call it a draw. [ Click here for more ]

Hurricane Sandy had Lyle Lovett on edge. He was not only concerned for all his friends and fans on the East Coast, but unsure about his shows in New England.

Album review: Shut Down the Streets by A.C. Newman
The New Pornographers' frontman Carl Newman wrote Shut Down the Streets after his mother's death and before his son's birth, and as open and airy as these songs sound, they are also anchored by weighty lyrics about indecision and ambiguity. In other words, the album's cover, featuring Newman standing in a spacious glade surrounded by […]

Mountain Goats frontman John Darnielle has a new baby, but that hasn't softened his love for dark subject matter. ("Please," he wrote on his website in July.

Album review: The Tarnished Gold by Beachwood Sparks
In the 11 years since the indie-country-folk band's last record, things have gotten hazier for Beachwood Sparks.

I've been an R.E.M. fan for so long that I've lost objectivity. I'm not the first to make this comparison, but it's really been like a personal relationship. We've had […]
Album review: Slave Ambient by The War on Drugs
The War on Drugs' music is hard to categorize, but its influences are fun to identify: a little Springsteen here, some Dire Straits there, a pinch of New Order. But "Slave Ambient'' is no '80s nostalgia trip. It's a rock album that mixes 30-year-old influences with the deep, hazy production of indie synth-poppers like M83. […]
Album review: Good One by Tig Notaro
By David | Published: August 3, 2011
Sarah Silverman provides an introduction on Tig Notaro's debut comedy record, and it's a fitting choice. Like Silverman, Notaro caters in moments of surprise, and neither comic shies away from discomfort, letting jokes unfold to satisfying payoffs. [ Click here for more ]

Album review: Join Us by They Might Be Giants
For all the reductive adjectives typically used to describe They Might Be Giants—"quirky," "weird," etc.—their songs are always rooted in their own realities. A drum-playing worm sounds perfectly normal when described by John Linnell, and why wouldn't The Replacements have a song called "We're The Replacements?" [ Click here for more ]
Album review: SBTRKT
SBTRKT's name is pronounced "subtract," and the moniker fits—this London producer's self-titled debut is all about subtlety and mystery. Beats seem to emerge from dark corners, sounds from shadows. The fact that SBTRKT performs wearing a mask comes as no surprise. [ Click here for more ]
Track review: "Circulation", Thurston Moore
I did not expect to like the new Thurston Moore record. Not because I dislike him, or Sonic Youth, but because I don't particularly love Sonic Youth. I admire and respect them, and I like many Sonic Youth songs, but I don't tend to listen to many of the band's records in full (except Washing […]
Interview: The Decemberists
By David | Published: February 3, 2011
The Decemberists have had an interesting few years. After several albums on indie label Kill Rock Stars, the Portland band signed to Capitol Records in 2005. They released "The Crane Wife," the best album of their career, a year later, followed in 2009 by "The Hazards of Love," a concept album about a shape-shifter who […]

Interview: Aimee Mann
Aimee Mann is no stranger to contradiction. Some of her most biting songs, such as the lacerating "How Am I Different,'' are also her prettiest and most melodically satisfying; and her most relatable work was done on artistically and financially personal terms. So it's perhaps fitting that Mann is simultaneously writing a stage musical and […]
Essay: Excitable Boy by Warren Zevon
For reasons that now seem ridiculous, I wrote off Warren Zevon for a long time. Like They Might Be Giants — who I've also wised up about — I assumed for years that Zevon, despite his long career, was a wacky classic rock one-off: in his case, a guy who wrote a dumb song about […]

Interview: Paul F. Tompkins
Much about stand-up comedian Paul F. Tompkins is old-fashioned, from his onstage uniform of suits and bow ties to his mock-pompous vocabulary ("I didn't de-collapse my opera hat for this!"). So it's surprising that he is also a master of online self-promotion. [Click here for more]

Essay: El Oso by Soul Coughing
By David | Published: September 8, 2010
I've been putting off writing this one. There's just something unruly about the final Soul Coughing album, something rough-edged and unmanageable. Though it has some concise pop gems — "Circles" is one of most radio-friendly songs of the '90s — much of the record is rambling and relentlessly dark. [ Click here for more ]
Concert review: The New Pornographers
The first lesson from Friday's New Pornographers' show at the House of Blues was this: do not mess with Neko Case. For some reason, an audience member hurled a CD — no case, just the shiny, sharp-edged disc — at the stage early in the band's set. This prompted New Pornographer Case to say, half-jokingly, […]
Concert review: Free Energy
It takes balls to open a debut album with the words "we're breaking out," but that's what the band Free Energy recently did on their homonymous debut from DFA Records. It's also how the Philadelphia quintet began last night's show at the Middle East downstairs, plowing through the fuzz-rock song in question ("Free Energy," of […]
Interview: Yeasayer
Yeasayer guitarist Anand Wilder had just woken up, which might explain his confusion about who was calling. "Vitamin Magazine?" he asked excitedly. "I love vitamins!"

Interview: Brother Ali
Brother Ali hit the national radar with 2007's The Undisputed Truth, on which the Minneapolis rapper tossed out barbed, perceptive, and often deeply personal lyrics like bombs, from his joy at being a father on "Ear To Ear" to incisive and controversial political critiques like "Uncle Sam Goddamn." He's gained even more recognition for the […]
Interview: Dirty Projectors
Dirty Projectors frontman Dave Longstreth seems like a very nice, easygoing guy, but he's about to get angry. "Fuck!" yells Longstreth into his phone, while walking around his Brooklyn neighborhood of Greenpoint. "I had this awesome biscuit, and I'm walking down the street, and I just dropped it on the ground!" This outburst is understandable. […]
Concert review: Thao Nguyen and The Get Down Stay Down
On her new Kill Rock Stars release, Know Better Learn Faster, Thao Nguyen starts the song "Easy" with this line, spoken matter-of-factly: "Sad people dance too." That sentiment is also fitting for Nguyen's work in general. [Click here for more]
Essay: The Name Of This Band Is Talking Heads by Talking Heads
This isn't what I thought would happen. I thought I would listen to this 27-year-old live album and compare different eras of Talking Heads: the 1977-1979 version (disc one), the 1980-1981 version (disc two), and, based on their later material, what the band eventually became. To their credit, Talking Heads sound equally energetic, smart, and […]

Essay: Reckoning by R.E.M.
Yeah, I know: either you (1) love R.E.M. and think Reckoning is awesome; (2) hate R.E.M. and no stupid review is going to convince you otherwise; or (3) feel ambivalent about R.E.M. and probably won't finish reading this review. Regardless, hasn't enough been written about Murmur, Reckoning, and the whole lot? Isn't it time to […]
Interview: Free Energy
Philadelphia's Free Energy are sitting on a tiny landmine of potential buzz. A couple of their members were in the late, great Minneapolis band Hockey Night, and Free Energy's debut record – Stuck On Nothing, due January 12, 2010 – will be released on DFA with James "LCD Soundsystem" Murphy producing. The band recently released […]
Essay: Stakes Is High by De La Soul
3 Feet High and Rising remains an indisputable classic, and there's something charming about De La Soul's efforts to match its heights. You can hear this awkward scrambling in the dark humor of De La Soul Is Dead or in the funky experimentation of 1993's Buhloone Mindstate. By 1996, De La Soul were not only […]
Essay: Elliott Smith and Good Will Hunting
Hi. I'm Dave. I'm a friend of Alex's from way back. One might say I'm the Chuckie to his Will. Or … one might not. In any case, when Alex told me he was writing a Good Will Hunting blog, I was immediately excited. Not only because I, too, think of the movie more than […]

There are rock bands, and then there are Rock Bands. It's like the difference between an actor and a Movie Star: there are people who do their job, and then there are people who completely entrance while doing it. When Karen O. slinked onstage at First Avenue, with her face lit up by a pink […]
Essay: The Simpsons Sing The Blues
Within its first season in 1989, The Simpsons was a massive hit; America ate it up. So did you, as your parents surely remember — they're the ones who threw away your "Don't have a cow, man" t-shirt in 1996. They also probably tossed The Simpsons Sing The Blues while they were at it, unless […]
Interview: M. Ward
For a guy who's known for being interested in everything old — old song styles, old equipment, old instruments — Matt Ward sure has a lot of new things going on. Ward, known to the indie music world as M. Ward, just put out his seventh album, "Hold Time," less than a year after his […]
Essay: Here They Come! by Paul Revere & The Raiders
Full disclosure: my dad, who died five years ago, loved this record, a fact that will likely cloud my judgment. In fact, I'm counting on it: I decided to check out Here They Come! as an exercise, a way to understand his tastes. He was a guy who knew what he liked and knew when […]
Essay: Improvisations to Music by Mike Nichols & Elaine May
Every culture, subculture, genre, and category has its wonks. Improvisational comedy is no exception; its biggest snobs scoff at Robin Williams' zany talk show antics, and they eschew the hackery of television shows like Whose Line Is It Anyway? by decrying the lack of characters and scenework. I am one of those snobs. [Click here […]

Essay: Either/Or by Elliott Smith
Much has been made of Elliott Smith's performance at the 1997 Oscar ceremony, and rightly so.

It marked the beginning of a new chapter for Smith, who had […]

Alaska as a state in the United States is located in the northwest part of North America. Alaska is the biggest state in the United States by region and the least populated of the 50 States. About maximum of Alaska's occupants live within the Anchorage metropolitan area. Its economy is controlled by gaseous petrol, fishing and also oil ventures. Armed force bases and tourism are moreover a fundamental piece of the economy.
The United States got this beautiful state of Alaska from the Russian Empire in the year of 1867, for 7.2 million U.S. dollars. It is undeniably known for its angling and numerous people from around the world visit this incredible place for some fishing, which is very popular in Alaska.
Predicting the 2019 population of Alaska can be done after analyzing the population from the year 2014 –18. Each year the population increases by roughly 15,707 people and that is evident from the increase from 736,732 in 2014 to 752,439 in 2018. Hence, the population of Alaska in 2019 is expected to be 752,439 + 15,707 = 768,146. So, the population of Alaska in the year 2019 as per estimated data is 768,146.
As per the 2010 United States Census, the state had a population of 710,231. To the degree of race and ethnicity, the state was around 66.7% White, 15% American Indian, 3% Black, 4% Asian and 8% from two or more Races. Latinos comprise of 5.5% of the population out here. As per the 2011 Survey, 83.4% of individuals beyond five years old speak English at home. Around 3.5% communicate in Spanish at home, which is an astonishing figure.
The population density of Alaska is 1.3 persons per square kilometer. It is right now the 6th quickest growing state at 1.48%. With a population of 7 45,000 or more, these figures make it evidently the biggest state in the United States. When you furthermore audit that with a surface territory of 663,268 square miles, Alaska is by a wide way the biggest state in the US, it is undeniable that Alaska is moreover by a wide way the most meagerly populated state.
Alaska as we know is the biggest state in the U.S. It is twice the size of Texas. It is likewise greater than the joined range of the 22 small U.S. states. Around 12 New York states can fit in within Alaska and that is some incredible information. If Alaska was a nation, it would be the world's twentieth biggest nation.
The capital of Alaska is Juneau and is the crucial state capital in the United States with no road connecting the city to alternate parts of North America as the zone encompassing the city is excessively tough, which makes it hard to build a road.
Out of the 20 most basic peaks in the United States, 17 are located in Alaska. Denali, the highest peak in North America is around 20,320 ft. above sea level.
There are in excess of 70 novel volcanoes in Alaska. The fiercest volcanic release of the century occurred in 1912 when Novarupta Volcano emitted, making the Valley of Ten Thousand Smokes, which is currently some piece of Katmai National Park.
Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport is actually the busiest airplane terminal in the state of Alaska.


What To Do When It's Allergy Season – T. p. p.
If you're heading into allergy season and you're dreading the perpetual runny nose and sneezes, you might want to start preparing now. There are plenty of preventative and curative measures you can take to ensure that your allergies are triggered less, and that they are easily combated when they do hit. Here are some of the top tips to help you fight the battle.

Don't clean without covering your nose and mouth, and wear goggles for your eyes as well. You should also get a hold of hypoallergenic pillows and materials as far as possible, as these are designed for people just like you.Your clothes and linen may have dust mites, especially during allergy seasons, so put everything in a hot wash and kill them off. Stuffed toys, cushion covers, and curtains should not be ignored too.
Use a dehumidifier or settings on your air conditioner to prevent mold and other bacteria that thrive on humidity. Look for mold all over the house, especially windows, curtains, and blinds. Mold spores are dangerous, and you should keep watch for them throughout the year anyway. Wipe down the bathroom and kitchen surfaces with diluted bleach to help with this. Also make sure you have proper ventilation in laundry rooms, bathrooms, and basements, to prevent moisture from causing mold.
There are plenty of over-the-counter medicines that you probably already use to handle your allergic reactions. However, most of these make you drowsy, which is no good when you have work or chores to do. Should you have any kind of inquiries concerning exactly where and also how you can make use of Society (click for info), you'll be able to e mail us from our own web-site. Purchase non-drowsy alternatives like Telfast instead, as these are designed to treat all allergic reactions from hay fever to skin rashes without making you sleepy. Additionally, what you eat and drink should contain as much vitamin C as possible. You should be getting about 2,000 mg of vitamin C daily to boost your immune system.
Other foods you should eat in your attack on the allergens include onions (about 2 g a day should do) and fish (or fish oil supplements), which is especially useful for optimal health and is naturally anti-inflammatory. In case you loved this information and you wish to receive more information regarding Indies (Suggested Browsing) please visit our web-page. A good way to improve your condition with food is to follow the Mediterranean diet, which studies have found to protect against allergies and respiratory conditions like asthma.This cuisine is not only exotic, but it is rich in the meats, fruits, and vegetables which are combative against inflammatory and allergenic agents.
With a few lifestyle changes, you can ease the burden of your allergies this season. Protect yourself and your family by keeping the house in tip top condition, and eat the right foods to prevent and combat those nasty allergens and mites.

Indian companies are getting more aggressive on performance-linked pay for CEOs than the local units of their global peers, not only holding the top executives more accountable for business performance, but also offering humungous wealth creation opportunities to those who deliver on promises.
A talent crunch at the top is driving this shift away from the traditional structure where fixed components accounted for most of the pay, experts said. Companies are going all out to lure executives, who could lead their expanding businesses and steer them into the future, with great offers.
According to a recent survey by HR consulting firm Aon Hewitt, locally listed Indian firms are placing far more emphasis on annual as well as long-term incentives, compared with multinationals that are listed in India and unlisted companies.
CEO pay mix is changing in favour of higher variable pay as company size increases, with the performance-linked portion constituting 30-40% of the total pay on an average, showed the executive compensation survey conducted during August-December 2016.
There has also been a drop in fixed pay increments — to 9.3% in 2016 from 9.7% the previous year, the survey showed.
Industry estimates suggest the variable component (including shortterm and long-term incentives) in a few cases could be as high as 50-55% of the pay mix.
"While CEOs of Indian companies are responsible for taking the company global, the role of most foreign MNC CEOs is limited to India and South Asia. This gets reflected in the CEO pay structures. Indian companies, going forward, will have higher attribution to long-term incentives," said Anubhav Gupta, Aon Hewitt's South Asia head of executive compensation. For large-cap companies, short- and long-term incentives now form 50% to 70% of a professional CEO's pay.
The correlation of pay and performance has traditionally been low in India, primarily because the established compensation structures had a high fixed component and a low variable. This is changing now with high risk and high return opportunities for CEOs.
"The variable component of pay is 'at risk', which means it is subject to pre-defined performance conditions being met. In the recent past, we have seen as much as 50% of the total compensation being performance-linked variable pay, which is a significant shift from five years ago," said Pratik Mehta, director, Deloitte India.
IT/ITeS companies are observed to be more aggressive on long-term incentive as they compete with global rivals for talent and thus need to be more aligned to global compensation structures, said Shalini Jain, tax partner with people advisory services at EY India.
In the traditional manufacturing industry (especially infrastructure, mining, etc.), where intervention of government policies and regulation is quite high, variable component is observed to be on the lower side, she added.
It is a win-win for both the organisation and the executive. "Greater emphasis is being placed on variable pay which is also in a way aimed at wealth creation, increasing retention, reducing fixed commitments and driving higher performance orientation," said Akhil Bansal, deputy CEO, KPMG in India.
Companies are getting more innovative when it comes to incentivising the top performers, coming up with newer long-term structures like restricted stock units and performance shares beyond employee stock options.
One of the reasons for adding more components to performance-linked incentives is high volatility in share prices, often caused by factors outside the control of the management, which affects the actual stock-based compensation, said Gupta. Also, a recent change in accounting standards — stock options will now be treated as an expense — is prompting the shift.
While some companies are moving away from stock options, there are others that are linking vesting of ESOPs to performance than time, experts said.
"Just being with the company does not guarantee the options will vest," said Garima Sharma, vice president, Just Esops.
Performance parameters include not only meeting individual goals, but company targets as well. ESOP vesting is now linked with metrics such as growth in earnings per share, shareholder return, or event or milestone in terms of the organisation's performance.
The overall idea is to not really use long-term incentive vehicles as merely retention measures, but also as performance drivers. "With regulatory mandates on compensation disclosures for senior leadership roles, remuneration committees everywhere are steadily working towards meeting shareholder expectations of closely aligning business performance measures and outcomes with the variable pay for the executives," KPMG's Bansal said.
However, there is also a flip side of high variable component. In the past, large bonuses and stock options have been held responsible for overly risky behaviour and short-term strategies, said EY India's Jain. Also extrinsic motivation may crowd out intrinsic motivation and innovation. At the same time, measurement of 'performance' through external parameters is not always completely objective and may lead to fraud.
