In 18th century music-writing, an accidental was not in effect for an entire measure but applied only to the note immediately following the accidental. This has caused some confusion in many editions. Bach occasionally forgot to write the accidentals himself and added them later below the notes when there was not room to write them before the notes.
It is unfortunate that the majority of pianists of the late 19th and early 20th centuries have been "educated" to believe that the symbol represents an "inverted mordent", to be played . Actually, the term "inverted mordent" was never used during Bach's lifetime, and Bach makes it very clear that the symbol indicates a trill, beginning on the auxiliary note.
[For ornaments 6 and 8, idem. means] that these ornaments had the same name as the previous ornament in Bach's day.
With extremely rare exceptions, all ornaments begin ON THE BEAT. They are played diatonically within the key in force at the moment they occur.
In Bach's music these symbols are used interchangeably. Each may indicate a long or short trill.
It is not possible to overemphasize the fact that ALL trills begin on the UPPER AUXILIARY. In Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach's Essay on the True Art of Playing Keyboard Instruments, he says of the trill, "it always begins on the tone above the principal note."
In the Explication, the manner of execution of the trill is illustrated only for the trill on a quarter note. Even this was intended only as a rough guide, and the fact that some of the time-values are not accurate indicates that a certain amount of freedom is allowed. The number of repercussions in the trill depdns upon the tempo of the selection as well as teh time-value of the note upon which it occurs. It is also sometimes affected by the notes preceding or following the trill (see 3 and 14).
The trill generally comes to rest on the principal note, but at times it may continue for the entire value of the note. The following examples are typical but not exhaustive. The minimum number of repercussions of the principal note is two, or a total of four notes sounding for the entire trill.
Trills on longer notes may consume the entire time value of the note or may stop near the end (on the principal note) on the beat or on any fraction of the beat. The long trill often includes a termination (see 3). The long trill may begin slowly and accellerate as it proceeds, although this would be impossible to indicate with precise notation.
This is sometimes called THE TRILL WITH SUFFIX, or THE TRILL WITH CLOSING NOTES and, less often, THE TRILL AND MORDENT.
The termination is often written out in full, as in the 2nd measure of Invention, No. 2. In such a case the trill is played at the same speed as the closing notes.
C.P.E. Bach says that closing notes may be added to short trills when they are followed by a stepwise ascent. If this suggestion were followed, the first trill in Invention No. 1 would be played as follows.
This particular trill is seldom performed in this manner. Bach was careful enough to indicate many other terminations in the Inventions and Sinfonias by use of the proper ornament. It seems likely he would have done this in the very first Invention if he had wanted it, since the Clavier-Buchlein was used more or less as an instruction book. This measure is also discussed under 14.
C.P.E. Bach further states, "Trills on long notes are played with closing notes regardless of a subsequent stepwise descent or ascent." Once again, the individual player may decide. Bach did indicate terminations on the long trills in Invention No. 12 but did not in Invention No. 4.
In his autographs, Bach used a vertical or sloping sign.
Some editions use the vertical sign . The meaning is the same. In some editions turns appear in mysterious places, and they are often unplayable. They may come from the letter S, which appears in the Friedemann manuscript. It means sinistra, or left hand.
The turn in Bach's music always begins ABOVE the principal note.
In his ESSAY, C.P.E. Bach remarks that the turn "is almost always performed rapidly." This would mean that at slower tempos the first notes of the turn may be played more rapidly, coming to rest on the principal note.
This ornament is usually used with termination (see 7).
This is sometimes called the DESCENDING TRILL.
Like the ASCENDING TRILL, this ornament usually has a termination (see 8).
This is sometimes called the ASCENDING TRILL, WITH TERMINATION.
The termination is sometimes written out in full. It may also be added to a trill with a prefix when followed by a stepwise ascent.
This ornament is usually executed only on notes of considerable length, but it appears in Invention No. 11 over a dotted eighth note.
A trill of this length does not require an exact number of repercussions. Like a normal trill, it may begin slowly and accelerate as it proceeds.
This is sometimes called the DESCENDING TRILL, WITH TERMINATION.
The small hook is probably derived from the slur used with the written appoggiatura. It indicates an appoggiatura from the diatonic note above or below the principal note. The double hook means the same as the single hook. The location of the hook in relation to the note determines whether the appoggiatura ascends or descends.
Examples 9 and 10 of the Explication show the ascending and descending appoggiaturas. 11 and 12 show the appoggiatura used in combination with other ornaments. Note that 12 treats the appoggiatura as the starting note of the trill (see 13).
The appoggiatura is played ON THE BEAT.
The appoggiatura takes half the time of the following note, except when followed by a dotted note. It then usually takes two-thirds of the value of the note.
In soeme cases a certain freedom may be allowed in the applicaton of these rules, to preserve the improvisatory character of the appoggiatura.
The modern acciacatura or "grace note" appears in many modern editions of the music of J.S. Bach. It was never used by Bach and it is always incorrect!
In this case, the time value of the group of notes is mathematically incorrect as it contains one thirty-second note too many. It would seem that Bach intended for the appoggiatura to be played as an eighth note. The principal note would then fit in as the missing thirty-second note. For this reason, the first example seems to be the best solution, however, the second example is acceptable and frequently used.
In the ornamented version of Sinfonia No. 5 there are many appoggiaturas before eighth notes and before dotted eighth notes. Those before eighth notes receive half the value of the note. Most performers give the appoggiaturas before the dotted eights only one-third of the value of the notes, or even less, possibly to keep the principal note from losing its identity. The performer may prefer to play these appoggiaturas as prescribed by C.P.E. Bach, Quantz and other writers of the period, giving them two-thirds of the value of the dotted note.
The passing appoggiatura is one of a very few ornaments played AHEAD of the beat. When a passage descending by thirds contains appoggiatura signs (hooks or small notes) the appoggiaturas may be used to fill in the interval of the third and are played very quickly.
C.P.E. Bach condemned the nachschlag and called it a "dislocation" and a "repulsive unaccented appoggiatura." This may have been a condemnation of musicians who used the nachschlag where the long appoggiatura was intended rather than a dislike of the ornament when it was used in the proper context.
At any rate, other musicians of the period did not agree with C.P.E. Bach's statements and were disturbed by them.
In 1752, Johann Joachim Quantz wrote a book on flute playing which has been one of the most valuable sources of information regarding musical practices of this period. Quantz not only accepts the nachschlag but goes into considerable detail concerning its performance.
In his ESSAY, C.P.E. Bach mentions "short appoggiaturaras" which "appear most frequently before quick notes." He remarks that they are "played so rapidly that the following note loses scarcely any of its length." He also says, "When these appoggiaturaras fill in the interval of a third, they are played very quickly."
The tendency of modern performers, who are not familiar with the correct way of playing J.S. Bach's ornaments, is to play nachschlags everwhere, interpreting all appoggiaturas as a modern "grace note." Many other players who are more familiar with the general practices of this period ignore the nachschlag completely, because, like C.P.E. Bach, they have heard it used where it does not belong and have learned to prefer the sound of appoggiaturas that occur ON THE BEAT. As usual, the player must approach the problem with a minimum of bias, then make an intelligent decision based on the musical context of the selection involved.
Invention No. 3 contains examples that may be considered important evidence for the nachschlag.
While it is true that measure 46 is not identical to the 4th measure, it seems clear that Bach wanted the passing appoggiatura in the 46th measure because he writes it out in full in the Clavier-Buchlein. This makes it possible to assume he also expected a nachschlag in the 4th measure.
J.S. Bach used the same name for this ornament as for the 12. Appoggiatura and Trill. The Appoggiatura is treated as a prolongation of the starting note of the trill.
The pralltriller is not included in the Explication, but it is discussed by C.P.E. Bach, by J.F. Agricola (one of J.S. Bach's students), and by F.W. Marpurg, in his book on clavier playing.
The pralltriller may occur only after a descending second. The note that is ornamented with the trill must be preceded by the note one diatonic step higher. The pralltriller is played like an extremely rapid trill. It contains only four notes, the first of which is tied to the preceding note.
We must emphasize that a pralltriller is not merely a normal trill tied to the preceding upper second. C.P.E. Bach says, "the pralltriller ... is distinguished from the others by its speed and brevity." He also says, "Unlike other embellishments, it cannot be demonstrated slowly to students. It must literally crackle. It must be snapped on its final appearance ... with such exceeding speed that the individual tones are heard with difficulty. Because of this, its acuteness stands beyond comparison with other trills."
In the above examples, he says that the unsuffixed (normal) trill should be used, which he states, "always begins on the tone above the principal note."

Porterville police officer arrested for annoying or molesting a minor resigned following arrest
By Brian Johnson
PORTERVILLE, Calif. (KFSN) -- UPDATE - The Porterville Police Department announced Sergeant Wayne Martin, the officer arrested for annoying or molesting a minor, resigned following his arrest.
Porterville Police released this statement on Tuesday morning: "Immediately upon the arrest of Sergeant Wayne Martin, the Porterville Police Department began an internal administrative investigation into the circumstances surrounding that arrest. As part of that investigation, on September 18, at approximately 8:30 a.m., Sergeant Martin was contacted by a member of the Porterville Police Department for the purpose of obtaining his statement with regard to his conduct on September 16. Sergeant Martin refused to answer any questions and resigned."
Earlier this year, the Porterville Exchange Club named Wayne Martin Porterville Police Officer of the Year. In July, the 33-year-old was promoted to the rank of sergeant with the department.
He's been with Porterville Police for nearly 12 years and was also the supervisor of the department's Explorer Program.
"Sgt. Martin was, up until this incident, one of the best officers I've ever had the chance to work with," Porterville Police Chief Eric Kroutil said. "That's what makes it so shocking and makes me so angry because I had such high hopes for him. His ceiling was unlimited in law enforcement. I just don't understand it."
A Porterville police officer has been arrested for annoying or molesting a minor.
On Sunday night, Tulare County Sheriff's deputies were called to an area outside Porterville city limits for a suspicious vehicle check. When they arrived, deputies found two cars. Two people were quickly moving around inside one.
Tulare County Sheriff Mike Boudreaux says the man identified himself as off-duty Porterville Police Sgt. Wayne Martin. Deputies noticed the female looked young. She told them she was 17 and an Explorer with the department.
Martin was arrested on three counts of annoying or molesting a child and one count of arranging to meet with a minor for lewd activity.
The sheriff's office believes there have been multiple encounters between the sergeant and Explorer.
"We really work hard to develop the trust of our community and with the feel of the way the nation is right now, these are the types of things that we do not want to happen," Boudreaux said. "And it's unfortunate, but we will take appropriate action, as you see. We police our own, as you see. And we don't overlook anything."
Last week, the sheriff's office arrested 26-year-old Woodlake Police Officer Oscar Robles. He's accused of sexually assaulting two women, and it's believed there are more victims.
In the case of Martin, the sheriff says they don't have any reason to believe there are more victims at this time.
Robles and Martin are being held at the Kings County Jail for their protection.
Both are also on paid administrative leave.

I know what are you thinking, why there were no Starbucks or Coffee beans inside the list. The truth is we have been drinking Nestle Nescafe products thousand times before Starbucks and Coffee bean existed in Malaysia. When considering the price factor, we would know most Malaysian would pick Nestle as a household coffee product.
Starbucks and Coffee bean took most of the spotlight and ranked top in coffee list. There is no doubt about that. They have the coffee quality and better taste. However, it is a wrong perception that Starbucks and Coffee bean will dominate Malaysian market.
Any market including Malaysian coffee market is unpredictable. It includes every determinant factors such as price, status, marketing, brand, flavor and countless more factors. Make a decision wisely will you drink a cup of RM 16 Starbucks coffee in a day or spend it to buy 8 cans of Nestle Nescafe or one big pack of Nestle Nescafe with 30 small packets.
Will it be ridiculous to think that that a man bought a RM 16 Starbucks coffee drinking it in small quantity then put into refrigerator hoping to drink it next day ? It is not a bad idea but probably not a popular move because do you think it taste the same tomorrow ??
Manufacturer : Nestle Products.Sdn Bhd.
Nestle Malaysia thought if there were so many people like to go eat outside and ordered Nescafe Ice, why don they just make a canned Nescafe Ais ?? It does taste there was icy element inside your mouth when you drink this. Shake well before drink !!
Pokka Coffee since 1972 explains it well !
Super Coffee advertisement video is made equally like a Hollywood movie starring Izzue Islam and Yana Samsudin.
The same company owned Milo. Now, they are trying to get some market share in coffee segment.
If you drink at restaurant nowadays costs you RM2.00 - RM2.50. But, this is just RM0.50 for 350ml coffee !
Unique taste produced by company situated in Sabah.
This is my top 10 coffee drinks in Malaysia.

The Tenth Avenue Gang was a New York City street gang and later became the city's first train robbers.

Formed by Ike Marsh in 1860, the gang consisted of a small number of various burglars and other criminals. In response to the first train robbery by the outlaw Reno Gang in 1866, the Tenth Avenue Gang became the first street gang to commit a train robbery in Manhattan in 1868 when Marsh and several members boarded a Hudson River Co. train at Spuyten Duyvil in Upper Manhattan and, making their way into the mail car, held the guard captive and stole $5,000 in cash and bonds which was thrown out of the train. The robbery would gain the gang considerable notoriety from both the New York press and the city's underworld as Ike Marsh was said to have stated the gang was "just as good as those cowboys.". The gang continued to successfully raid New York rail yards however by the early 1870s the gang was forced to merge with the Hell's Kitchen Gang as railroad detectives had killed several members.

Rod Blagojevich: Why did Trump just free a jailed Democrat?
US President Donald Trump has commuted the prison sentence of Rod Blagojevich, the former Illinois governor convicted of trying to sell Barack Obama's vacated US Senate seat.
But why would the Republican president, who once promised to drain the swamp, show mercy to a Democrat viewed by critics as the embodiment of dirty politics?
Even the president's fellow party members in Illinois criticised his decision.
The state's House Republican delegation said in a statement: "Blagojevich is the face of public corruption in Illinois and not once has he shown any remorse."
But Trump was having none of it. "That was a tremendously powerful, ridiculous sentence," he told reporters on Tuesday.
Who else did Trump show mercy to?
Blagojevich wasn't the only beneficiary of presidential mercy on Tuesday. Trump went on a clemency spree, including to three high-profile figures with powerful friends:
Bernie Kerik, a former New York police commissioner, pleaded guilty to tax fraud and other charges and was sentenced to prison in 2010. His celebrity supporters include Christopher Ruddy, the head of Newsmax Media, and the president's personal attorney, Rudy Giuliani
Michael Milken, a financier who rose to prominence in the 1980s, was convicted of securities fraud. Celebrity supporter: Fox host Maria Bartiromo
Edward DeBartolo Jr, the former owner of the San Francisco 49ers, pleaded guilty in 1998 to offences related to a gambling scandal. Celebrity supporters: Ohio Pastor Darrell Scott and former NFL player Jerry Rice
Even before he won the White House, Trump expressed sympathy for Blagojevich, who was convicted of flagrant corruption.
In 2008, he was responsible for naming someone to fill the Senate seat of Obama, who had been elected president.
Blagojevich, who was twice elected governor, spoke about the political opportunity on the phone with another state official, describing his plans to sell or trade the Democratic safe seat.
"I've got this thing," Blagojevich said, describing the seat as "golden".
The governor - who loved the camera and was known for always having a hairbrush handy - said: "I'm just not giving it up… for nothing."
Blagojevich, 63, also tried to obtain campaign funds in exchange for legislation that would help the race-track industry.
He attempted to pressure an executive at a children's hospital into contributing money to his campaigns.
Blagojevich was convicted of soliciting bribes, attempted extortion and wire fraud, and was sentenced to 14 years. His release date was projected for 2024 until Trump stepped in.
Before he was put behind bars in 2012, Blagojevich appeared on Trump's Celebrity Apprentice TV show.
After he was convicted in a retrial a year earlier, Trump told the Hollywood Reporter he felt bad for him.
The president's support for Blagojevich offers a case study in his approach to presidential power and the justice system.
Trump has his own grievances about investigations - he has called Special Counsel Robert Mueller's Russian inquiry a "witch hunt".
On Trump's favourite news channel Fox News last year, Blagojevich's wife, Patti, depicted her husband as the victim of over-zealous prosecutors, drawing parallels with the president's experience during the Mueller investigation.
Mueller was FBI director when her husband was arrested, and former FBI Director James Comey - another Trump foe - is friends with a former US attorney, Patrick Fitzgerald, who prosecuted Blagojevich.
Patti Blagojevich laid out these connections in interviews.
Why did Trump pardon Dinesh D'Souza?
Trump: I have right to pardon myself
Trump pardon of Muhammad Ali 'unnecessary'
The prosecution team behind the Blagojevich case said on Tuesday that despite the president lawfully exercising his clemency powers, the former governor "remains a felon, convicted of multiple serious acts of corruption".
Ruth Ben-Ghiat, a historian and cultural critic at New York University, says: "He [Trump] clearly identifies with this man who has a harsh sentence and is a fighter.
"He likes that kind of swagger."
She says the president's public views of Blagojevich "helps to create this culture in politics where loyalty is valued over ethics, and where corruption is not necessarily a negative thing".
Others point out that Trump has never condoned Blagojevich's crimes, but has focused instead on the perceived harshness of the sentence.
Brennan Hart, a political consultant in Alexandria, Virginia, who worked on Trump's 2016 presidential campaign, says the president "likes people who are a little bit over the top - like a caricature of a manly man".
"He's not saying it's OK," says Hart, referring to the president's attitude towards Blagojevich's offences. "He's saying, it's been long enough."
Presidential clemency has been a politically fraught issue for decades. President Bill Clinton pardoned a former business partner, Susan McDougal, who went to jail because she refused to testify in the Whitewater real-estate scandal.
President George HW Bush pardoned key figures in the Iran-contra scandal, in which he himself was implicated.
But Trump's critics say he has gone further in the way he has politicised clemency.
David Litt, a former Obama speechwriter and the author of a memoir, Thanks, Obama, says Trump's clemency for Blagojevich reveals "his own victimhood narrative".
He says it will "send a message to other people who might be considering a variety of corrupt practises: if you get caught, he'll have your back".

Yours truly on training wheels!
Railroaders' Nostalgia > Yours truly on training wheels!
So when MRL gave me a second chance at engine service a full decade later I jumped all over it. I entered their LETP school in the fall of 1989 and spent all winter learning to be a locomotive engineer. By May of 1990 I had completed all of the schooling and passed all of the required written exams. With the trip below I was making the first of 3 qualification road trips. RFE Mark Van Orman was along on this first trip. The regular engineer on the turn was Mike Ihde (pronounced: E-dee). I knew both guys from the Dakota, Minnesota & Eastern back in South Dakota. Ironically Mark was one of the engineers I made my spring 1987 conductor qualification trips with & Mike was then a Trainmaster/RFE for the DM&E. And to take the irony even further it was like 'old-home week' with Mike: In May of 1978 I had attended Santa Fe switchman/brakeman class with Mike's brother Mark, AND his father Carl. Carl was ship-jumping his life-long career in train service with the Rock Island 2 years before the bankruptcy. He could obviously see the handwriting on the wall.
The images below are of BN (bridge) train 196 in a couple of different locations. In image #1 we were stopped at Garrison, MT for a meet. I gave my trusty Canon A-1 to Mike so he could grab a photo record of me at the throttle. Then I hit the ground and grabbed a train shot. The main line/siding arrangement was a bit on the unusual side. In this photo our 196 is sitting on the main and the siding is just out of frame to the left. The old BN Garrison depot sat in between. In the third image RFE Van Orman is getting off our 196 at Townsend, MT. We had changed crews at Helena and wanted to know if Mike & I would drive his company vehicle the 30 some-odd miles over to Townsend and pick him up. He was giving a Laurel-based engineer trainee a short test ride. If memory serves, Mark took us to a nice lunch on his company expense account.

Re: Yours truly on training wheels!
Certainly is a serious look. Would normally make rail fans apprehensive.
Yah, you found out that "if" is a big word didn't ya.
I had a job at the Santa Fe back in 79 if I wanted but I stayed with the bus Company.
I always wanted to be a Locomotive Engineer.
My instructor at the BN Engineer's school at Overland Park migrated to the MRL. Brian Hekkila. Seemed like a great guy. He was a good instructor.
Great story from the MRL days, Sir L. We all have to start somewhere, and sometimes "the start" is a delayed one. But when it finally happens for you, it's all good. Thanks for posting this. You know my mantra...keep 'em coming! -- Mark.
Thanks for your insight. My active railroad and railroad-related career involved five railroads (IC, NYC, B&O, CRIP, TRRA), three transit agencies (SEPTA, DART, CMTA), and two major engineering firms (Parsons, HDR) plus a couple of independent gigs. We all make decisions in our early and even later years for reasons that we think righteous at the time and then in retrospect see were not optimal. I am chronicling mine in an autobiography I have titled "My Third Shot Went in the Trap", a golf reference, I have let one person read it to edit it, and it has a long way to go. And if it is correctly edited, it will likely be boring. But I labor on and still play golf.

Leo R. Gray
Class 44-G-SE 8/4/1944 2nd Lt. 0835409 Roxbury, MA
Awards: Air Medal with one oak leaf cluster, a Presidential Unit Citation, the Mediterranean Theatre of Operation ribbon with three battle stars, the American Theatre and World War II Victory button, bronze replica of the Congressional Gold Medal
The CAF Red Tail Squadron has many special relationships with original Tuskegee Airmen, and we absolutely treasure them. These American heroes are unique, continuing to inspire us as much today as when they fought fascism abroad and racism back home in the era of WWII. We are honored to stand beside these great role models at many of our outreach events around the country. Leo Gray, an original Tuskegee Airmen and pilot, continues to share his experience with our audiences, inspiring the next generation to RISE ABOVE.
Gray, born in Boston, volunteered for service in 1943. He went to flight school at Tuskegee Army Airfield where he qualified for single-engine fighters. He was then assigned to Ramitelli, Italy where he flew 15 combat missions in the P-51 Mustang, logging 750 flight hours. He served 3 years and seven months active duty, and remained in the United States Air Force Reserves until 1984. He retired after 41 years of service with the rank of Lieutenant Colonel.
"The Tuskegee Airmen are a classic example of overcoming adversity, and people in our country should know about it," said Gray. "It is worthwhile for everyone."
During his military career, Gray was awarded the Air Medal with one Oak Leaf Cluster, a Presidential Unit Citation and the Mediterranean Theatre of Operation Ribbon with three Battle Stars. The Tuskegee Airmen collectively were awarded the Congressional Gold Medal by Congress in 2007 to recognize their "unique military record that inspired revolutionary reform in the Armed Forces."
After the war, Gray earned a Bachelor of Science at the University of Massachusetts and a Masters degree at the University of Nebraska, both in agricultural economics. For 30 years, Gray coordinated research for the USDA. He credits his military service as the catalyst that helped his civilian career by giving him the skill and perseverance to be successful.
Gray has played a leading role in the Tuskegee Airmen, Inc. organization, serving as president of the Miami and East Coast chapters. He also helped to form a new chapter in Walterboro, South Carolina, the location of advanced combat training for Tuskegee-trained pilots before being shipped overseas to combat from 1943 to 1945.
He is also a dedicated member of the Boys & Girls Club of America – of which he was a member himself in his youth – and is a co-founder of the organization's Ionosphere Club in Broward County, Florida. This unique group gives members the opportunity to learn about all aspects of flying, including science and mechanics.
"There are many young people, especially in urban areas, who have not been exposed to aviation," remarks Gray. "They need to understand what's available for them. Aviation is a field with many openings. Pilots and support personnel are in demand because of many retirements. People need to understand the impact that aviation has on different areas of the country."
Gray has been gracious enough to help make our outreach visits even more impactful and inspiring by appearing at several of our events. For example, earlier this year, Gray joined us in Florida to speak directly to school groups about the history and legacy of the Tuskegee Airmen, and how students can utilize the Squadron's Six Principles in their own lives – Aim High, Believe In Yourself, Use Your Brain, Be Ready To Go, Never Quit, Expect to Win.
"The CAF Red Tail Squadron is one of the few organizations that has a hands-on approach to opening peoples' eyes to aviation and the history of the Tuskegee Airmen," he says. "The RISE ABOVE Traveling Exhibit gives young people the opportunity to find out things that might never have been exposed to."
Thanks to the ongoing hard work and perseverance of Tuskegee Airmen, including Lt Col (Ret) Gray, younger generations are learning not only about an important piece of American history, but about what grit, determination and strength of character really means. Thank you Leo Gray for continuing to serve your communities and your country. We salute you!
The CAF Red Tail Squadron is a volunteer-driven organization dedicated to educating audiences across the country about the history and legacy of the Tuskegee Airmen, America's first black military pilots and their support personnel. Learn more at www.redtail.org.

Come to the Rath for a night of indie-emo-rock!
"Future Teens started as a joke, and perhaps appropriately, the band played their first show in a sweaty basement while a Fourth of July barbecue raged outside. They played three songs at that 2014 show, each less practiced than the one before.
The group's debut EP Still Afraid of Allston was scruffy and full of hooks, a bedroom-pop gem that was recorded "right into the computer—we didn't even use amps," Radin (Vocals/Bass) recalls. The charming, conversational songs demanded a fuller sound in a live setting at the band's shows in their hometown of Boston and beyond and so drummer Dylan Vadakin, guitarist Nick Cortezi, and vocalist and guitarist Amy Hoffman signed on.
In 2017, Future Teens wrapped Bored And Alone, which was self-produced and mixed by Justin Pizzoferrato (Speedy Ortiz, Krill). The band's hooks and energy are bolstered by the four-piece setup; "when you're with three other people, you can bounce ideas off each other and collaboration is just more fulfilling," says Radin.
Though standalone in itself, Bored and Alone is a precursor to the band's first full length effort, Hard Feelings. The album title encapsulates how each song toes the line between despair and humor. "Having feelings all the time is hard — but everyone has them in one way or another— my goal with these songs was to write about things that happen to nearly everyone at some point in their lives" Radin explains.
You can find the link to their facebook page here!
World's Greatest Dad is an emo-indie rock band, going on tour with Tiny Moving Parts soon! Catch them at the Rath before the go on the road.

Dobbs has big day in Phils' win
by Todd Zolecki, INQUIRER STAFF WRITER, Posted: May 12, 2007
The Phillies had to wait more than an hour to blow their four-run lead in the top of the seventh inning today at Citizens Bank Park.
It took them just minutes to take it back.
They scored six runs in the bottom of the seventh - the rally started with two outs and nobody on - in an 11-7 victory over the Chicago Cubs. The game involved a 1-hour, 4-minute rain delay after the Cubs had scored four runs to tie the game in the top of the seventh. The Cubs scored two more once play resumed to take a two-run lead.
The Phillies could sweep the Cubs with a victory this afternoon. It would be their first sweep of the season, and first since Sept. 22-24, when they swept the Florida Marlins to take the lead in the National League wild-card race with just seven games to play.
"What more could you experience in a baseball game, other than a tornado touching down and evacuating the building?" first baseman Greg Dobbs said.
"We got the momentum, and before you know it, we got hit with a haymaker," Cubs manager Lou Piniella said.
But the Phillies still took a shot to the solar plexus. They announced afterward they had placed Ryan Howard on the 15-day disabled list with strained left quadriceps. Howard is eligible to be activated May 25. The Phillies recalled Chris Coste from triple-A Ottawa to take Howard's place on the roster.
"I'd rather get better than keep playing and make it worse," Howard said. "The worst-case scenario is that you keep playing and you're out for the rest of the year."
But the Phillies hope Dobbs, who went a career-best 4 for 4 with a triple, two runs scored and two RBIs, Wes Helms and Coste, who primarily will be used as a pinch-hitter, can hold the fort while Howard recovers.
"There's no way I'd ever want to lose Howard," manager Charlie Manuel said. "Not for one day or two weeks. But at the same time, I think we've definitely got to get him well where he can feel comfortable playing. I'm selfish. If I could have him on the bench, I would definitely want that."
They didn't need him today. The Phillies took a 5-1 lead in the bottom of the sixth inning, with the fifth run scoring on a suicide squeeze. Abraham Nuñez stood on third after a triple and Carlos Ruiz took the first pitch from Scott Eyre and bunted up the third-base line.
It is believed to be the first successful suicide squeeze for the Phillies since May 26, 2000, when Kevin Jordan scored on a bunt by Tom Prince in the sixth inning of an 11-4 loss to the Los Angeles Dodgers at Dodger Stadium.
"I thought it was ideal," Manuel said. "I figured it was time to show you that I can squeeze."
It was the Phillies' 19th lead after the sixth inning this season. They have lost five of them. It almost became six.
After a sixth inning in which he allowed one run and four hits, Freddy Garcia struggled in the seventh inning. He walked Mark DeRosa to start the inning and allowed a double to Cesar Izturis to put runners on second and third with no outs.
Geoff Geary entered to put out the fire. He had been remarkably successful at that this season. He had allowed just two of 21 inherited runners to score. But Geary's remarkable run hit a wall. He served up a three-run home run to left field to pinch-hitter Matt Murton, and suddenly the Phillies' lead was cut to one, 5-4. The Cubs scored another run before the rain came and caused the delay.
Once action resumed, Antonio Alfonseca allowed two more runs to score to hand the Cubs the lead.
"We were going to stay with it," Nuñez said. "We were OK. There was no panic. We knew we had some game left."
The Phillies had nobody on and two outs in the seventh when Aaron Rowand started things with a single. Chase Utley knocked in Rowand with a double to make it 7-6 and Dobbs' double scored Utley and Pat Burrell, who had walked, for an 8-7 Phillies lead. Dobbs scored on a single from Nuñez to make it 9-7, and Carlos Ruiz, who went a career-best 3 for 3, hit a two-run homer to cap the inning.
"Hell of a game," Manuel said.
Gordon remains hospitalized. The Phillies said righthander Tom Gordon, who is on the disabled list with inflammation in his right shoulder, remained hospitalized at Thomas Jefferson University Hospital with an upper respiratory infection. Gordon is undergoing further testing. He was admitted Friday.

Okay, Hear Me Out.. Gordon Ramsay Should Play the Angry Chef in Live Action Little Mermaid
On - July 11, 2019
It was recently announced that Disney has found its Ariel for Live-Action 'The Little Mermaid' and if you want to read more about the lead actress, you can do so here: Meet the actress who will play Ariel.
It is reported that Melissa McCarthy Might Play Ursula and there has been a debate on the search for "The Little Mermaid's" Prince Eric: Harry Styles vs. Noah Centineo. Much more to this cast-search is the ongoing viral twitter meme of "Hear Me Out" where netizens share their ideas for who else should play the characters in the film.
Fans have been insisting Gordon Ramsay would perfectly suit Prince Eric's angry chef, Louis for the live action film. And really, it's pretty believable as who's the most famous hot-headed chef, especially when something doesn't go right, we know? I can't imagine who else could pull this fictional character off more than him.
There has not been an official announcement of who has been cast for this role as well as for the roles of Sebastian, King Triton, Prince Eric and Flotsam and Jetsam, Ursula's eels.

Q: MVC 5.1 - Adding Html attributes in EditorFor with customized Editor Templates I can add htmlAttributes like following and its rendered in Html
@Html.EditorFor(Function(model) model.LastName, New With {Key .htmlAttributes = New With {Key .ng_model = "model.LastName"}})

But when I added a custom editor template for Date Data type in the Views\Shared\EditorTemplates\Date.vbhtml as follows
@Code
    Dim value = ""

        value = String.Format("{0:d}", Model.Value.ToString("dd/MM/yyyy"))
    End If
    @Html.TextBox("", value, New With {Key .class = "datefield", Key .type = "text"})
End Code

A: This is an example of code I am using for a custom DateTime editor template.  I was able to access the htmlattributes being passed into editorfor.  Hope this helps.
@model DateTime

We've just lived through the season of predictions in our industry, when every observer and practitioner forecast what they believed will become the year's key storylines and trends. Will this be the year that Facebook PPC becomes a prominent advertising outlet? Will Google get serious about its keyword-less auction experiment? Is this finally the year of mobile search, with smartphone adoption expected to continue at a breakneck pace?
These questions represent just a cross-section of the conversations that are occurring across the search industry. And as those questions are being pondered, the reality is that the answers are inconsequential. The debate is healthy; search is alive and well.
So as I contemplated what I wanted to accomplish professionally this year, I resolved not to chase trends or seek answers to questions like the ones posed above. Rather, for me, this year is about embracing a much more significant challenge: I'm seeking to reinvent best-practices for B2B search.
The differences between B2B and B2C search engine marketing have already been documented. B2B search typically has to take into consideration a lengthier purchase consideration process, which can extend several months to even a year or more. As a result, B2B search tends to be far less transactional in nature, requiring successful programs to focus on a series of "micro-conversion" events that operate as nurture mechanisms to the eventual sale.
But perhaps the most under-appreciated facet to B2B marketing is that, typically, purchase decisions are made by several stakeholders within the organization. The entire process involves a multi-disciplinary team, each weighing the pros and cons of possible solutions. And each stakeholder in this process brings his/her agenda, perspective, and bias to those discussions.
Allow me then to propose a new paradigm for B2B search. Let's call it "Neo-B2B" search.
In order to live up to search's full potential, Neo-B2B programs must be constructed to directly address the needs of that diverse decision-making team. This means that the specific keywords and text ad creative not only have to appreciate the distinctions between an early- and late-stage mindset, but must also consider the unique vocabulary used by various functional roles in the organization. Search is unique in its ability to help discern that vocabulary. Neo-B2B search programs capitalize on that.
Neo-B2B search also understands that its intended audience is comprised of human beings, and those human beings are no different than you or me. They often behave online in very consumer-ish ways, act impulsively and out of emotion. They can even be irrational at times. Think of them as consumers with neckties. And, perhaps most significantly, those business consumers are now "working" in ways they never have before. With the advent of advanced mobile technologies and a global business environment, "work" now transcends time and space; it's more a state of mind than it is a physical location. Business consumers are now searching from myriad geographic locations and across multiple platforms and devices, seeking answers and solutions when and where they find themselves in an "at-work" state of mind and in need of information.
Neo-B2B search understands these new dynamics, and operates fluidly to meet the needs of prospects searching in unique ways.
This deeper, richer insight isn't possible without smart analytics in place. Analytics can shed light on a host of critical data points: search queries, technology platforms, mobile devices, time of day/day of week highlights. There is also a plethora of new engagement and measurement tools available to enable a smarter investment in SEM, depending on the specific needs of the marketer.
The Holy Grail in all of this is having insight into the search behavior patterns demonstrated by specific organizational roles, by company size. Imagine being able to filter the metrics noted above by visitors from organizations whose annualized revenues exceed $100 million, and again by C-Suite executives within those organizations.
Cutting-edge technologies now enable that level of insight. Neo-B2B SEMs will take full advantage and develop a new best-practice standard.

Here's Why This Film Is Partnering With a Threesome Dating App at SXSW
The Unicorn takes a page from Ex Machina's playbook
By Kristina Monllos
Nicholas Rutherford and Lauren Lapkus star in Robert Schwartzman's The Unicorn.

In 2015, Alex Garland's Ex Machina got major buzz from a sneaky promotion it ran on Tinder at South by Southwest: Attendees who encountered a woman named Ava on the app soon found that she wasn't a potential match at all but a way for you to learn about the film. It's fitting, then, that another film would try a dating app partnership at the festival—though is much more clear cut.
To promote Robert Schwartzman's The Unicorn, which premieres today at South by Southwest, the film's producers have partnered with a dating app, 3Somer.
"3somer is more than just a Tinder alternative for threesomes," said John Martinuk, cofounder of 3Somer, in a statement. "We aim to create an exclusive and friendly community for people into the threesome lifestyle. We're more than excited to partner with The Unicorn, as it is the perfect film with which to enlighten the public and show a side of the lifestyle that not many others are aware of."
The Unicorn follows Malory (played by Lauren Lapkus) and Caleb (played by Nick Rutherford), a couple four years into their marriage, who embark on a quest to give threesome dating a try.
"There are a lot of similarities between independent films and startup companies, especially the hurdles that they both face," said Schwartzman in a statement. "What I love most about the process is finding those interesting collaborations and in 3Somer, we found a company that was, like the characters in this film, open to change and willing to try something new. We're excited for people in 3Somer's community to discover The Unicorn and vice versa."

Gerald Hines' Iconic River Oaks Mansion Gets a Reimagined Kitchen From the Original Architect — Improving Upon a $34.5 Million Masterpiece
Robert A.M. Stern's Lead Architect Reflects On a Project That Means Plenty to Him — Then and Now
BY Alison Medley // 06.29.21
It's a delicate, nuanced affair when you attempt to improve upon a touted masterpiece. It takes a certain subtle touch of finesse, vision and craftsmanship.
Yes, it's no easy feat to improve upon Houston's 30-year-old architectural gem affectionately known as "Adagio," the home of the late legendary developer Gerald D. Hines. But the world renowned Robert A.M. Stern Architects — the architecture firm which first envisioned this showcase house — was most recently tapped to do the job, specifically to reimagine the Hines' villa kitchen. The opulent Mediterranean home tucked away on 2920 Lazy Lane is currently listed for $34.5 million, having hit the market in March after the 2020 death of Hines, the man who changed skylines.
"It was a very interesting project, particularly for me because I obviously worked on the original house," Robert A.M. Stern lead architect Roger Seifter tells PaperCity. "It was a challenge in a way to do it. It was of the rooms that we lavished a lot of attention on way back then.
"We wanted to reimagine it through 2021 eyes. And at the same kind to come up with an idea that's sympathetic with the original design."
The Hines' Villa kitchen was reimagined with a modern look and feel through a rendering illustrating how the renovation could be brought to life.
The goal for Seifter was to conceptualize an aesthetic which would appeal to today's buyers, and the kitchen was given a modern look and feel through a rendering illustrating how the renovation could be brought back to life.
"We reconsidered the way that people used kitchens now as opposed to back then," Seifter explains "The original kitchen was designed as a working kitchen to be used by the staff and rarely considered by the family.
"It had the architecture that was consistent with the rest of the house, but was essentially closed off from all the other spaces. Very few people live like that now. Kitchens now tend to be more open."
Peering inside the dining room space at Hines' Villa.
Perhaps the most significant challenge was to add the modern touches without compromising the graceful lines of the original kitchen.
"We wanted to retain the kitchen's own integrity," Seifter says. "We made the conscious decision to make it not so much like a kitchen — as a room with nice fitted cabinetry in it that happened to conceal the kitchen. So all of those beautiful wood doors have every appliance you need behind them.
"It's a beautiful space that you could walk by, but it's perfectly functional at the same time."
The kitchen redesign would be realized through non-intrusive modifications of the interior windows and doors, leaving intact the facade composition of the original project.
"I would call it a modern Mediterranean kitchen, which is a kitchen basically designed to be perfectly functional yet concealed behind the work — and streamlined, detailing rich natural materials," Seifter notes.
"It's grand without being grandiose." Robert A.M. Stern lead architect Roger Seifter highlights the timeless beauty of Adagio.
The vision of the new Hines villa kitchen is deeply influenced by Gerald and Barbara Hines' travels to Tuscany. Materials like Bardiglio marble are proposed for the kitchen island, Pietra Piesentina in large format for the floor and Terzani "Argent" pendant right above the counter, accentuating the classic style of the Cesar "Intarsio" kitchen.
"What I most liked working on was figuring out how to camouflage the everyday use of the kitchen behind built-ins, and also to give the room a contemporary feel," Seifter says. "Basically because the materials are so rich, it's sympathetic with the architecture in the house."
A River Oaks Stunner
Freshly-minted in the 1990s, the Hines' River Oaks mansion was the project of a lifetime for Seifter. Nestled on 4.5 acres on Houston's Lazy Lane, this 17,000 square foot Italian villa boasts five bedrooms with an engaging view of Buffalo bayou. Some of the most desirable features include a full-size tennis court, two-story garden atrium, a pool, fountains, 10 bathrooms and an adjacent guest apartment.
"I think it's a house that transcends time. I think the architecture has this sort of simplicity about it," Seifter says. "The lines of the house have a pared-down classicism about it that can adapt to any kind of decorating whether it's traditional or contemporary. It's grand without being grandiose."
When the idea of the grand house was first conceived, Gerald and Barbara Hines gave Robert A.M. Stern Architects the rare creative freedom to work on all features of the home.
"It was unusual even then for a client to hire us to work on all features at once." Seifter says. "Mr and Mrs. Hines didn't really give us carte blanche, but utilized us as landscape architects and as interior designers. So we were able to provide them with the whole nine yards in terms of design.
"It's rare that an architect is able to provide their clients with total design."

Beyond the exacting precision that went into the drawings and design, the project of building Adagio was intrinsically fulfilling.
"It was a lot of fun. It was a fun project," Seifter says. "I hope that the fact that we enjoyed it so much shows in the architecture. It's very exuberant."
One of Seifter's most cherished parts of the home is the main entry to the palatial home.
"If I have any favorite spaces in the house, I think the entry sequence through the front hall up the stair into the gallery that links the living room end of the house with the family room end of the house might be one of those," he says. "Because it has a grandeur at the same time and at the same time a human scale about it."
So who would be the quintessential buyer ideal for this prestigious property in Seifter's view?
"It's a house that can adapt to different peoples' needs and tastes. You can do that without compromising the restraint of existing architecture," he says. "I think that the idea of the house is very strong. It's very visual. It's sort of iconic.
"It's what Gerry wanted us to do. It's It's what he did with all his buildings. He's the great patron saint of modern American architecture. He wanted it to be a reflection of his patronage."
Rest assured, this would be the most expensive home sale in Houston, if the Hines Villa sells for the asking price of $34.5 million. The one of a kind house is represented by Patricia Reed of Douglas Elliman Real Estate.

Q: Why pandas has its own datetime object Timestamp? The documentation of pandas.Timestamp states a concept well-known to every pandas user:

Timestamp is the pandas equivalent of python's Datetime and is interchangeable with it in most cases.

But I don't understand why are pandas.Timestamps needed at all.
Why is, or was, it useful to have a different object than python's Datetime? Wouldn't it be cleaner to simply build pandas.DatetimeIndex out of Datetimes?

A: You can go through Pandas documentation for the details:

"pandas.Timestamp" is a replacement for python datetime.datetime for
  Padas usage.
Timestamp is the pandas equivalent of python's Datetime and is
  interchangeable with it in most cases. It's the type used for the
  entries that make up a DatetimeIndex, and other timeseries oriented
  data structures in pandas.
Notes
There are essentially three calling conventions for the constructor.
  The primary form accepts four parameters. They can be passed by
  position or keyword.
The other two forms mimic the parameters from datetime.datetime. They
  can be passed by either position or keyword, but not both mixed
  together.
Timedeltas are differences in times, expressed in difference units,
  e.g. days, hours, minutes, seconds. They can be both positive and
  negative.
Timedelta is a subclass of datetime.timedelta, and behaves in a
  similar manner, but allows compatibility with np.timedelta64 types
  as well as a host of custom representation, parsing, and attributes.

I would say as pandas works better with Time Series data hence its been a kind of warper on the original built-in datetime module.

The weaknesses of Python's datetime format inspired the NumPy team to
  add a set of native time series data type to NumPy. The datetime64
  dtype encodes dates as 64-bit integers, and thus allows arrays of
  dates to be represented very compactly.


It's just past 6:30pm and it's pitch black outside, yet another reminder that winter is on it's way. A beautiful sunny day in the mid 50's. Wednesday's forecast is predicting snow. I'm wondering how this will affect our Thanksgiving travelers. The wind has just picked up outside, it's alittle erie to be honest. So much left to do to get ready for the feast. I haven't even gone to the grocery store yet, or cleaned my house. I really want to sew, but can't seem to decide what to do. I could read but that doesn't seem very productive either. I guess you could say I'm feeling alittle out of sorts today. My dear friend, Amy, and I call this "feeling outside ourselves." I did go to the baby shower today and the elephant was a huge success. I love giving gifts to people, especially things I'm able to make myself. I hope all of you stop to reflect on all the things that you are thankful for this week, amist all the preparations. After a wonderful service this morning, I'm going to start this moment being thankful to Jesus for my salvation. How about you?

From Selling Popcorn to Programs Manager at Microsoft, Meet Ivy Barley
Ivy Barley is on her way to becoming a name synonymous with women in tech in Ghana and abroad. A respected and recognised mathematician, Ivy's work has been in the field of Technology since she graduated from school. She has mentored hundreds of young women and continues to do so.
A post shared by Ivy Barley (@ivy.barley)
Ivy is a product of the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology where she studied for a bachelor's degree in actuarial science and a master's degree in Mathematical statistics. During her time at the university, she dropped from being the best student at the College of Science to struggling to keep up with her mates. Eventually, she graduated a year later than her peers, with a second class.
According to Ivy, having the highest CWA (GPA) and then dropping to a struggling student took such a huge toll on her mentally, as she was diagnosed with depression and spent many weeks at the hospital. Around the same time, she began to sell popcorn at night to pay her way through school. She was also in the process of teaching herself how to code.
Growing up, she would gather the children in her neighbourhood to teach them Science and Mathematics for free. This passion led her to co-found Developers in Vogue in 2017, an organization that provides training, mentorship, job placement and business incubation for African women in tech.
The organisation aims at creating a relevant community of highly skilled female developers who are passionate about using technology to revolutionize Africa and beyond. They provide training, mentorship and job placement for African women in tech and has grown to become one of the leading tech communities in Ghana.
In the same year, she graduated from her master's program and was listed as one of the Top 50 Most Influential Young Ghanaians in 2017. That was only the beginning for the brilliant young woman. In 2019, she was invited by the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology to be the Commencement Speaker at the 2019 graduation, making her one of the youngest to do so.
She was featured in the Women in Tech book by the German Ministry of Economic Cooperation and Development, featured in the Founding Women book by Africa Technology Business Network and won a $10,000 prize as one of the 10 finalists of the Kwese #GoGettaz Competition.
She currently works at Microsoft Headquarters as a Program Manager and Data scientist. She has taken it upon herself to help as many people as possible achieve their dreams of landing jobs in tech and provides insights through speaking engagements and social media posts.

Tomorrow is day one of the 2014 FIBA World Cup and we can expect interesting matchups from day one. USA and Spain, the top two favorites to win the tournament, will not have a big challenge on this day and they will use these games as a warm up for the next phase.
The Philippines Smart Gilas team is playing against a young Croatian team led by Bojan Bogdanovic and Dario Saric, which will be an interesting game to see because the Phillippines have big support from their fan base back home.
Other interesting matchups on the FIBA World Cup schedule include New Zealand vs. Turkey, Australia vs. Slovenia, Puerto Rico vs. Argentina and France vs. Brazil. Other matchups include teams that are huge favorites and opponents from Asia or Africa. Team USA will have a practice match against Finland in which they can combine for their best starting five and finally decide who will start at PG, Kyrie Irving or Derrick Rose.
New Zealand always give everything in each game on official tournaments and it will not be a big surprise if they win against a Turkish squad that is rebuilding. Omer Asik, the best Turkish player at the moment, is not playing at this World Cup, so a New Zealand team consisted of players that compete in the Australian league and in the NCAA have big chances for a win in their opening match.
Everybody is expecting a lot from Dante Exum on this World Cup and it is actually the first match in which we will see how good is the Aussie for real. Slovenia is led by the Dragic brothers in the backcourt and have experienced Euroleague pro Erazem Lorbek on the PF position.
Argentina is in the middle of generation change and the fact that Manu Ginobili will not play on the tournament makes their situation even worse. Puerto Rico is a team full of spirit and their backcourt combo of JJ Barea and Carlos Arroyo can make things interesting in this Latin American matchup.
Brazil are listed as favorites in this game and that is probably fair because they have a strong squad consisted of Nene, Splitter, Barbosa and Marcelinho Huertas; but France still has a strong generation of players even without Tony Parker.
Meanwhile enjoy this cool video created by Sube la copa for the 2014 FIBA World Cup that features players from the Spanish team and check out the full FIBA Basketball World Cup Schedule 2014 at this link.

Initiation of Lunch The first school lunch program in India was developed by the Madras Corporation in 1925. The first luncheon in India was started in 1982 in Tamil Nadu with the main message of social and national unity. While in Gujarat it was started on November 19, 1984. The mid-day meal scheme in India was launched on August 15, 1995. The scheme has been made ubiquitous since 2004 to give impetus to the Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan (SSA). Under this scheme, cooked, fresh, nutritious, healthy food is provided to the students as lunch in government educational centers.
As per the order of the Hon'ble Supreme Court, the mid-day meal scheme was made mandatory to provide meals to children at least 200 days in a year. Under which this scheme was started in government owned primary schools. The scheme is being implemented under the National Program of Nutrition Scheme of Education. The cost of the scheme will be borne by the Central Government and the State Government in the ratio of 75:25. Note: This ratio is 90:10 in the northeastern states. Lunch Objectives To solve the problem of malnutrition.
Enhancing the health and nutrition values of students. Encouraging dumb poor children to come to school. Increase attendance by reducing children's dropout rates. Connecting social and national unity among children from an early age. To provide employment opportunities at the village level. Indirectly eradicating poverty from the state as well as the nation. Universalization of primary education as per latest NP, NSPE guideline.
Mid-day Meal Implementation Arrangements In the context of the State of Gujarat, the mid-day scheme is implemented by the Office of the Commissioner of Schools under the auspices of the Department of Education. The implementation chain of mid-day meal scheme from state level to school is as follows.
Community,Guardian,S.M.C. Provisions made for (1) It will be the responsibility of each parent to enroll their child in school and send them to school regularly.

Record360
Anna Zeck
Cost: $195 per month
Uses: Document asset condition reports
Training: Jose Magdaleno says the staff watched video tutorials and it took roughly three cars to adjust
THE SHOP:
Shop owner Jose Magdaleno says it's inevitable in any shop that, occasionally, customers will pick up their cars and say, "This dent wasn't here before," or "We had more fuel than this." That's why Magdaleno has always used a customer check-in sheet at his Long Beach, Calif., shop, Number 1 Auto Collision. His process involved a staff member walking around the vehicle with the customer and circling all prior damage they saw on the car, as well as fuel levels and number of miles.
Still, Magdaleno says that the check-in sheet opened the door to disputes and the shop would end up fixing the issue and losing money. "Insurance companies today, they basically want us to do great customer service," he says. "We as body shops are sitting ducks. We just say, 'Yes, we'll fix it.'"
The Record360 app, which Magdaleno started using more than two years ago, acts as third-party objective verification to prior damage claims. Although it acts similar to the check-in sheet, the app creates an additional level of documentation for the shop. Magdaleno's CSRs will use a tablet's built-in camera to first scan the VIN and then shoot a walk-around video through the app, all the while talking with the customer and pointing out prior damage. The app also allows the CSR to add points of interest (such as dents and scratches), which will then be photographed and circled. Later, the CSR can go in and add notes or a description to those points. Altogether, he says the walk-around takes around one minute.
The app also has a date and time stamp, and a customizable checklist that allows the CSR to add mileage in/out, fuel-in levels. After doing the walk-around, the CSR will go over the report with the customer, have them sign it and send a copy via email. The report will then be stored in the Record360 database, which can be accessed online.
THE RETURN:
Although the app is more expensive than using the traditional check-in sheet, Magdaleno says it has cut down on comebacks and damages by 80 percent. "We used to get quite a few and now it's very rare," he says. "It's a good tool to protect ourselves."
Magdaleno says the major ROI comes from the money saved by not having to spend time either arguing with the customer over prior damage or fixing the disputed damage, which ultimately means the shop loses money. That occurred more frequently before, Magdaleno says, because he was looking for the quickest way to put out the fire.
In addition, it has also become an upselling tool for the shop, which has provided additional revenue and a profit center for customer pay work. "Customers sometimes don't realize they have a scratch or a ding on the door," he says. "We upsell quite a bit."
