Was overall, very satisfied with the service, products and responsiveness of OFWD. Been purchasing with the company for a couple of years and am always pleased with them.
Office Furniture Reviews – Edmonton – OFWD – Review By: Alltron Systems Inc.
The team at OFWD has been incredible. We needed new office desks, work stations, chairs and storage units for our new location and have also needed additional pieces over the past 3 years. OFWD provided us with cost effective solutions and exceptional service.
First time buyer. Was overall, very satisfied with the service, products and responsiveness of the company.
I like that the salesman kept in touch. Even before our items were ready for pick up, he 'touched base' with me. That made me feel like he really cared about our business and also showed that he didn't forget about us. I really appreciate that.
Quick response times when it came to products and service. Overall, very satisfied with OFWD.
Been with OFWD for about a year now. Would recommend to anyone. It's extremely likely that I will look to buy again from them.
Over the many years we've always had the privilege of dealing with Dennis at the Edmonton West location; the service has always been exceptional and his advice always welcome. Thank you!
High quality service, products and support. Top marks for recommendation.

Q: since then it is... -- meaning? Usage example with a context:

Comparing this to the previous result table DISTINCTROW A1 emphasizes the fact that, even though the second and third rows of tblNewA are identical in values, they are different rows, so they both contribute to the final result table. If we were to replace the DISTINCTROW keyword with the word DISTINCT, then the result table would have only one row, since then it is the values in each row that form the basis for comparison.

I'm at a loss as to how to understand that phrase. If then is removed, the sentence makes perfect sense.

A: The sentence has the same meaning, with or without the word "then."
Let's look at a simpler sentence to understand:

If he were six feet tall, I would marry him, since then we would be able to dance comfortably.

"Then" in this sentence--as in your example sentence--is used to emphasize the counterfactual nature of the statement. You're saying that "then"--in the hypothetical case when your tables are set up a certain way, or the hypothetical case where he's six feet tall--only then would the thing you're talking about happen.
If you understand these two sentences:

If he was tall, then we would be able to dance

and

I married the tallest man, since he was easiest to dance with

then you understand this construction as well--the "then" and "since" are serving the same purposes.

Q: Pandas rolling window to return an array Here is a sample code.
df = pd.DataFrame(np.random.randn(10, 2), columns=list('AB'))
df['C'] = df.B.rolling(window=3)

Output:
           A         B                                       C
0 -0.108897  1.877987  Rolling [window=3,center=False,axis=0]
1 -1.276055 -0.424382  Rolling [window=3,center=False,axis=0]
2  1.578561 -1.094649  Rolling [window=3,center=False,axis=0]
3 -0.443294  1.683261  Rolling [window=3,center=False,axis=0]
4  0.674124  0.281077  Rolling [window=3,center=False,axis=0]
5  0.587773  0.697557  Rolling [window=3,center=False,axis=0]

9 -0.369179  0.975155  Rolling [window=3,center=False,axis=0]

I want my 'C' column to be an array like [0.1231, -1.132, 0.8766].
I tried using rolling apply but in vain.
Expected Output:
       A         B                 C
0 -0.108897  1.877987  []
1 -1.276055 -0.424382  []

7 -0.443269  0.647107  [0.647107, -1.230902, 0.697557]
8  0.347187  0.753585  [0.753585, 0.647107, -1.230902]
9 -0.369179  0.975155  [0.975155, 0.753585, 0.647107]

A: In newer numpy versions there is a sliding_window_view().
It provides identical to as_strided() arrays, but with more transparent syntax.
import pandas as pd
from numpy.lib.stride_tricks import sliding_window_view

x = pd.Series([1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9])
sliding_window_view(x, 3)

>>>
array([[1, 2, 3],
       [2, 3, 4],
       [3, 4, 5],
       [4, 5, 6],
       [5, 6, 7],
       [6, 7, 8],
       [7, 8, 9]])

But be aware that pandas rolling will add few nans (window_size - 1) at the start because it uses padding. You can check it like this:
x.rolling(3).sum()

>>>
0     NaN
1     NaN
2     6.0
3     9.0
4    12.0
5    15.0
6    18.0
7    21.0
8    24.0
dtype: float64

sliding_window_view(x, 3).sum(axis=1)
>>>
array([ 6,  9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 24])

So real corresponding array should be:
c = np.array([[nan, nan,  1.],
              [nan,  1.,  2.],
              [ 1.,  2.,  3.],
              [ 2.,  3.,  4.],
              [ 3.,  4.,  5.],
              [ 4.,  5.,  6.],
              [ 5.,  6.,  7.],
              [ 6.,  7.,  8.],
              [ 7.,  8.,  9.]])

c.sum(axis=1)
>>>
array([nan, nan,  6.,  9., 12., 15., 18., 21., 24.])

A: Since pandas 1.1 rolling objects are iterable.
For a list of lists:
df['C'] = [window.to_list() for window in df.B.rolling(window=3)]

For a Series of Series's do:
df['C'] = pd.Series(df.B.rolling(window=3))

Also checkout the rolling function for parameters.

A: Perhaps zipping  would also help in your case i.e
def get_list(x,m) : return list(zip(*(x[i:] for i in range(m))))

# get_list(df['B'],3) would return

A: Let's using this pandas approach with a rolling apply trick:
df = pd.DataFrame(np.random.randn(10, 2), columns=list('AB'))
list_of_values = []
df.B.rolling(3).apply(lambda x: list_of_values.append(x.values) or 0, raw=False)

B.C. Lions hype-man marks 15 years of cheers
Crazy P cheers, chants, bangs his drum and spreads a message of love
Devon Bidal
Superfan Patrick 'Crazy P' Thomas can be heard shouting "I say B.C., you say Lions!" at just about every B.C. Lions game.
It's just one of many chants in his repertoire as Thomas celebrates 15 years of cheering and spreading joy for B.C.'s CFL team.
Thomas, 51, got his start in football and chanting with the Saanich Hornets team back when he was just eight years old. After years of chanting and cheering, he became the B.C. Lions hype man in 2005 when he pitched the Crazy P persona to the team's staff. They gave him a shot and he never looked back.
Nowadays, with complimentary season tickets in hand, Thomas attends every B.C. Lions game decked out in the team's black and orange gear and his number 44 jersey to cheer, chant and bang his trademark drum.

After five years with the B.C. Lions, Thomas was invited to rouse crowds at the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver. He's since brought the Crazy P spirit to several Memorial Cups, hockey games, soccer matches and University of British Columbia sporting events.
Thomas lives in Vancouver, but grew up in Saanich playing sports, developing his chants and working with various local improv groups such as ACTT and Spilt Milk. He credits his love of performing to his days riling up fans at the field in Glanford Park and acting in front of the Empress Hotel. Thomas has a day job, but Crazy P is where his passion lies.
The B.C. Lions are currently ranked at the bottom of the West Division after only winning two of their last 12 games, but that hasn't slowed Thomas one bit. His chants ring out through the stadium no matter the score because loud fans help energize the crowd which motivates the team, he explained.
He acknowledged that some people don't appreciate what he does, but "haters" don't phase him. Thomas writes it off as part of the experience noting that "not everyone likes Will Smith either."

For the most part, people of all ages from all over the province are excited to see Thomas at games and many have become like family to him. Sports brings people from all demographics together and gets them off their phones, he explained.
He's made unique friendships with folks young and old that have spanned decades. People tell him about their lives and know he truly cares.
Thomas has several buddies who he makes sure to stop and say hello to at each game. One young fan has travelled from the Sunshine Coast for games with her family since she was a toddler and Thomas makes sure to catch up with them at least once a year. Another one of Thomas' buddies, Ethan Kenney – a 19-year-old B.C. Lions fan with cerebral palsy – told him that people often treat him like a child or ignore him, but that Thomas makes him feel seen.
Thomas explained that he and his fellow superfans have a close bond and that they've had an impact each other's lives.
"We're friends, we're family," he said emotionally. "They mean absolutely everything to me."

Thomas doesn't just cheer for his own team. He works to make everyone feel welcome by spreading love and learning cheers in other languages to support teams from other countries. He credits his mother for his positive outlook and desire to spread joy as she "loved everyone."
Cheering and connecting with the community helps Thomas feel young and he's grateful for the opportunity to do what he loves. He has no plans to retire the Crazy P persona anytime soon and will continue to bang his drum at every sporting event he can get to. If Mick Jagger is still going, then so is Crazy P, he explained with a laugh.
The next 15 years of Crazy P will likely include some new adventures. Thomas hopes to one day cheer at the Rugby Sevens and maybe at a Canucks game or two. A Crazy P show wouldn't be out of the question either, he said.
To keep up with Thomas, follow him on Instagram @crazyp44 and on Twitter @CrazyP44.

Daniel Acuña (born 1974) is a Spanish comic book artist.

Early life
In college, Daniel Acuña studied painting and graduated with a degree in Fine Arts.  He cites his early influences as Jack Kirby, the Romitas (Senior and Junior), Will Eisner, Simon Bisley, Kevin Nowlan, Hal Foster, and his favorite, Richard Corben, along with fine artists such as Edward Hopper, and Alfons Mucha, as well as illustrator Drew Struzan.

Career
His first published work was a 22-page black and white project, Claus & Simon in Hollywood, with fellow artist Santi Arcas, which was bought by Spanish publisher La Cupula when Acuña was 22.  This work was followed by Claus & Simon: Freakshow, and Claus & Simon: Disaster Box.  The "Claus & Simon" series is about the adventures of a clown and an anthropomorphic dinosaur.  The last story was done for the French market and later reprinted in the popular American magazine Heavy Metal (under the title Claus & Simon: Kings of Escape).

Claus & Simon increased Acuña's profile in Europe, and he received work painting the covers for European paperback reprints of Alan Moore's Supreme (#2-6), which led to Acuña's decision to try to break into the American market while still remaining active in the European comics industry.

Acuña's first work in the American comics industry was for Marvel Comics, on a miniseries for Axel Alonso that was never completed or published.  DC Comics editor Eddie Berganza later hired him to paint pictures of Ravager and Blackfire for Teen Titans/Outsiders Secret Files.  This work got Acuña noticed by Mark Chiarello, who suggested him to editors Mike Carlin and Joan Hilty as a cover artist for the Justice League of America  and Outsiders series.

Although only doing American-market covers up until this point, Acuña made the move to interior art with Uncle Sam & the Freedom Fighters, on which he did the covers, pencils, inks, graytones and even character design, working with European colorist Javi Montes.

In late 2005, it was announced that Acuña had signed a two-year exclusive contract with DC Comics.  However, in 2007 it was announced that Acuña had signed an exclusive contract with Marvel Comics, to start in 2008, and would be leaving DC Comics.  Acuña had previously only done covers for Marvel; his first interior work for the publisher was The Eternals, which debuted June 2008.
In 2010 Acuña drew the Black Widow ongoing series with writer Marjorie Liu.
In October 2015 he and writer Nick Spencer started the series Captain America: Sam Wilson.

Personal life
Acuña is currently based in Águilas, Spain.

WSDV-AM 1450 Sarasota – For nearly 50 years Sarasota's AM-1450 meant longtime CBS affiliate WSPB. Then in October 1989 those calls changed to WSRZ. However, the switch proved to be short-lived and the WSPB calls were reinstated in August of 1990. Clear Channel took over in the late 90's and flipped them to WSRQ in 2003, and then to WSDV (Sarasota's The DoVe) in 2006.
WSDV serves the Sarasota-Bradenton market and is a one-kilowatt fulltime non-directional station broadcasting from a transmitter and tower on City Island in Sarasota Bay with studios on the mainland at 1779 Independence Boulevard.
After simulcasting an AC/oldies format with sister station WDDV in Venice, Clear Channel re-launched both The Dove 1450 WSDV and The Dove 1320 WDDV as Sunny 1450/1320 in January 2014. That format lasted a couple years, then iHeart Media (the new corporate name for Clear Channel) flipped both both stations to news/talk in 2016, simulcasting their programming as Newsradio 1320/1450.
On November 1, 2017 WSDV split its simulcast with WDDV and began stunting with Christmas music. After the holidays, the station launched a Top 40/CHR format, branded 103.9 Kiss FM.
Some names from WSDV's history include Tim White (chief engineer 2006-2009) and Westwood One Adult Standards on-air personalities Jeff Rollins (mornings), Chick Watkins (early/mid afternoons), Ed Brand (late afternoons/early evenings), and Don Reid (overnights).
(Please contact us if you have additional information to share about WSDV.)

Last week Zoe made me sit in the car while she went into Publix on a very very important, private and personal mission.
Find something, anything, to make a friend feel a little bit better.
Twenty minutes later she emerged with carefully selected treasures -- tiny cans of sunkist, a box of goldfish, rice krispy treats, and a bunch of purple flowers.
With no help from me (none required, none appreciated, none allowed) she arranged the gifts in a basket and hugged the basket to her chest for the rest of the drive.
As we turned onto her friend's block, Zoe turned to me and said "I thought only grownups did this...."
I agreed. You are officially a grown up now.
She exhaled loudly in protestful agreement, then banished me to the car (again) while she went to cry with her friend.

Figures of Stillness
Michael Tolloy's sculptures are very special types of hybrid beings. On the one hand, they are bound by the art historical tradition, on the other hand, in terms of the content, form and techniques of the use of a traditional sculpture material they articulate a tentative yet purposeful and consistent orientation towards a contemporary image of humanity.
There is an equally consistent focus on this new aspiration in the chronology of the works of this artist, who was born in Innsbruck, in the exhibition at the Galerie Voss. This has been achieved by presenting sculptures, from the last few years, which have engaging aesthetics as well as clear distancing effects. After all, these days, the bundling of these kinds of ambivalences constitutes a key mediation function of art, too.
Proximity and distance, forcefulness and indifference - these are the ambivalent feelings experienced by a viewer encountering Tolloy's sculptures for the first time. Eyes look at you and through you, whether they are closed, open, or directed to a point in the distance - disconcerting visual axes open up into a distance that you search for, but even when you approach the object you cannot definitively fix your gaze on its content.
At the heart of Michael Tolloy's works stands the individual depicted as a full body figure, busts, or just the head; some are life size while others are slightly monumentalised. They all keep the viewer at an appropriate distance, they stand like statues and they look silently. Some of them seem unapproachable, proud and archaically superior. Others maintain an unspoiled child-like or youthful expression. Young women, slender and delicate with fine facial features look questioningly, some slightly invitingly, but all of them are calmly and mutedly elegant.
The size of the bodies likewise points to distance; you want to learn more about the depicted figures, their expressions of inwardness and detached reticence. The age and sex are discernible, yet vaguely defined. Details of a naturalistic representation are hinted at but stay isolated in the artistic context so that gestures and emotional expression remain in an undetermined context, in terms of content, and in a wide sculptural surrounding space where they can develop for an indefinite period of time, something which is characteristic of classical sculpture.
The timelessness aspect, in Tolloy's case, refers both to his commitment to tradition, especially apparent in the use of wood - a material that is frequently artistically underestimated -, and also to a future vision that is undetermined in terms of content. Wood for him is an "unassuming work material" and the "positive core, the soul of my works". This Tyrolean artist makes explicit use of stone pine, a wood from his home region, of linden wood, a popular material in the Gothic and Renaissance periods and of cypress, with its variety of grain patterns. Depending on the group of works, Tolloy emphasises the characteristics of the material, he allows time for cracks to work and grow deeper, he shapes surface grain patterns with mountain chalk in order to accentuate natural features, he sands wooden surfaces until they are velvety smooth like marble or, using a mixture of near-natural materials, constructs craggy surface structures that simulate the natural characteristic features of cast material flows and, by doing so, he advances and elevates the traditional hand crafting process.
The works exhibited here show the reverse process. Notches gape like wounds only in individual works, the surfaces are otherwise closed, smoothed and have been polished to a velvety-soft finish, they conceal the materiality or, at most, hint at it through fine almost graphic-looking lines. The viewer moves closer wanting to be certain of the feel of the works, which lucidly shine like porcelain and, in doing so, seem warm as human bodies thus calling into question the artificiality of the material. Art, artificiality, elements of naturalistic design and abstract form enter into an ambiguous symbiosis.
Is the point of this material estrangement merely to mislead the viewer for the purpose of consciousness-raising reflection on a new image of humanity? Is the function of art, artificiality, or even artificial intelligence open for discussion? Some of the objects seem robotic with their cold aesthetics heightened to perfection, the immaculate proportions of the face, the de-individualised bland expression and the ephemeral delicate physicality.
Jaume Plensa's art objects use different materials but are similar in expression and established on the art market. They are made of glass, steel, polyester, artificial resin and bronze. As monumental heads or in quiescent gestures of retreat and tranquillity they stand silently and singularly; monumentalised in landscapes and urban spaces they denote islands of inner peace and create places of spiritual contemplation. They stoically urge a temporary withdrawal from the urban hustle and bustle and invite you to pause; they connect unspoilt nature with open space. These are works that evoke spirituality, beauty and perfection as the human habitus, as a postulate and human potential and, in that respect, they are close to Tolloy's intention. "In a very noisy world, silence should be produced", is how Plensa formulates one of his most pressing artistic concerns.
Michael Tolloy's art likewise invites you to pause, it is reminiscent of quiet dialogue and urges introspection in times of social turbulence. "Perhaps I can contribute something towards harmonious coexistence", he says laconically. His art can certainly raise awareness - for a concentrated look inside ourselves in a world where there is an over-abundance of outward appearances.

It takes special talent to turn great eating into great writing. (Truly, you can only say "mouthwatering" some many times in one book.) So we're always impressed when a memoir seamlessly integrates food into real storytelling—whether it's a chef writing about life on the line, or a critic who makes you feel like you're sitting at the table with him. Here are ten of our favorites.
When he became the food critic at Vogue, Steingarten vowed to learn to like all the foods he had spent his life avoiding—things like kimchi, lard, clams and anything blue. He succeeded on most fronts (blue foods are still untrustworthy), and brings readers on every adventure along the way.
If you found yourself particularly charmed by the Julia parts in Nora Ephron's movie Julie & Julia, we can assume two things: First, you have a pulse, and second, you'll love this book, on which the Julia half was based. In it, the great chef and TV personality teamed up with her nephew to write lovingly about her years in France, which went on to change the culinary world forever. NBD.
Raised mostly in the Arizona desert, this daughter of a Marxist lawyer and a cellist-turned-psychologist has plenty of fodder for a great memoir. We love that Christensen chose to tell her life story through the foods she ate at every stage of life—from the soft-boiled eggs of her childhood to the pastries during a nannying stint in France to the chicken thighs she cooked in a small New York kitchen, nursing a broken heart.
It's hard to imagine that the former New York Times restaurant critic and editor-in-chief of Gourmet magazine grew up eating moldy food thrown together by a slightly unhinged mother. The first in a beautifully written trio of Reichl's memoirs, Tender at the Bone chronicles her unlikely rise to one of the most storied food careers of the last few decades.
Fisher is like the fairy godmother of great food writing—she did it earlier and better than anyone else. It's hard to pick just one of her books, but this one, about her first trip to France, holds a special place in our hearts.
The self-taught chef of the beloved New York restaurant Prune is also an MFA-trained creative writer. And it shows. Her memoir is bold, passionate and brilliant: a gold standard for the genre.
Buford was an established writer with a pretty enviable day job at The New Yorker when he quit to be an apprentice in the kitchen of Mario Batali's restaurant Babbo. His memoir is full of practical cooking tips (never throw away starchy pasta water, FYI), as well as great stories (pig slaughtering in Italy, for one) and insights into the über-competitive world of New York restaurants.
Journalist Frank Bruni spent most of his life struggling with his weight. When he was finally getting it under control, he took a big gamble: accepting a job as the restaurant critic for The New York Times. Bruni writes with enormous warmth and intimacy about his career, his family and his daily battle to keep everything in balance.

Indiana insiders assess Pence's post-Trump prospects
'He should challenge Donald Trump for the leadership of the Republican Party,' says prominent Hoosier Bernard Hasten
Matthew Kassel
As more Republican lawmakers come out in favor of impeaching President Donald Trump for inciting a mob of violent extremists to storm the U.S. Capitol last week — leaving his political and legal future in jeopardy — Vice President Mike Pence has characteristically abstained from taking an active role in the debate.
On Tuesday night, Pence clarified that he had no intention of invoking the 25th amendment and removing Trump from office before his term ends next week, preempting a House vote calling on him to do so. "I will not now yield to efforts in the House of Representatives to play political games at a time so serious in the life of our nation," Pence said in a letter to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA).
It remains to be seen how Pence will move forward with only a week remaining until Joe Biden's presidential inauguration on January 20. But equally intriguing is what he has planned when leaves his official residence on the grounds of the U.S. Naval Observatory and enters life as a private citizen — a question he has yet to address publicly.
Tom Rose, a Pence senior advisor and chief strategist, deflected an email inquiry from Jewish Insider regarding the vice president's post-Trump prospects, offering that "perhaps we can communicate when all this is over" — meaning, it seemed, the final chaotic days of Trump's term.
Yet a number of Pence confidants from his home state of Indiana, where he served one term as governor before joining the current administration, tell JI that they are eager for the vice president to come out of the shadows and assert himself when Trump's tempestuous run comes to an end.
"Mike Pence can be and should be the next Republican leader, and he should take the bull by the horns and take the reins of the Republican Party," Bernard Hasten, an Indianapolis businessman and pro-Israel activist who has known the vice president for decades, said emphatically in a phone interview on Tuesday afternoon.
Hasten, whose father, Hart, is one of Pence's earliest political mentors, added his hope that Pence would make his own bid for the Oval Office — and that he would announce his candidacy as soon as possible. "He should run," Hasten said.
Over the past four years, Pence has walked a delicate line, positioning himself as the president's dutiful servant and ever mindful to play his part as right-hand man always just a few steps away from the spotlight occupied by his volatile boss.
But their fragile relationship came apart at the seams last week, when Pence ignored Trump's demand that he overturn the election results during a joint session of Congress, prompting an accusatory tweet from the president as insurrectionists made their way into the Capitol. The two have apparently only spoken once since the siege.
Forced to choose between Trump and Pence, the vice president's Hoosier State allies are quick to make their loyalties known.
"He did the right thing," Bob Shuckit, an attorney who serves as Indiana council chair for AIPAC, said of Pence, whom he describes as a close acquaintance. "I think people respect him for what he ultimately did last week. It was an opportunity for him to demonstrate that, although people may criticize him for doing his job, his job doesn't lend itself to being a conservative or a liberal."
"I don't know what the future holds for him," added Shuckit, acknowledging an uncertain political landscape that has caused a rift in the Republican Party between Trump's most ardent supporters and those who are turning away from him after the events of last week. "I hope it leads to more government positions," he said of Pence's post-administration future, echoing Hasten's view that he should set his sights high. "I think that he would be a terrific vice president again or a terrific president."
Despite such enthusiasm, Leslie Lenkowsky, a professor emeritus in public affairs and philanthropy at Indiana University who has known Pence for 30 years, believes that the vice president will likely slink away from public view after he leaves office and as he makes preparations for his next move.
"My hunch is that Mike will keep his head fairly low for a while," said Lenkowsky. "He's not a very wealthy man, and I'm sure he'll have some offers coming his way, so he might take some of them up in order to earn some money."
Those offers could potentially include a book deal, an appointment to lead a think tank or perhaps a teaching gig at a prestigious Indiana college like the University of Notre Dame, according to Michael Wolf, a professor of political science at Purdue University in Fort Wayne, Indiana.

But any return to the political sphere would still likely depend on Trump's standing within the Republican Party — an open question at the moment. "If the base remains so steady with Trump then it's going to be hard to see the oxygen for him to move forward," Wolf said of Pence, adding that Democrats could also use his close connection with the president against him in the coming years. "That said, if there's a turn against [Trump], he's a name brand and not only that, he's able to kind of say, 'I stared Trump down.'"
A barometer of Pence's political appeal, Wolf argued, may become apparent during the upcoming 2022 midterm elections, when the GOP begins recruiting congressional candidates. "Is he going to be invited anywhere?" Wolf asked. "That, I think, will be the indicator of his future."
For some Pence partisans, however, the vice president has already proven himself a worthy candidate for the White House. "I think people really want a fighter," said Allon Friedman, a physician in Indianapolis and the vice president of the Jewish American Affairs Committee of Indiana, who told JI that he would back a Pence bid in 2024.
"He'll advocate for good policies, Republican types of policies," said Hasten. "He'll argue his case for any venue that will listen to him. Hopefully his policies and advocacy will take root with people."
They certainly took root in the Trump administration, according to Hasten, who claimed to know "first hand" that Pence played a major role in moving the U.S. Embassy in Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem and recognizing Israeli sovereignty over the Golan Heights — signature Trump administration policies he supports.
Shuckit agreed. "I'm confident that he purposely stayed under the radar so that we are unable to say exactly what his role is," he said of Pence's purported understated but influential involvement in many of the Trump administration's major foreign policy achievements in the Middle East, including the normalization deals between Israel and the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain. "But I'm confident that his role was huge."
"He's a real friend of Israel, and not just a political friend," Rabbi Yisrael Gettinger, who leads B'nai Torah, an Orthodox Jewish congregation in Indianapolis, told JI. "I think there's something about his tie to the country that really comes from his soul."
"I found him to be a person who we were proud to have as a governor," Gettinger added. "He was very close to the Jewish community, and particularly the Orthodox Community," Gettinger said, noting that when Pence would host governor's mansion parties at which a number of Jews were in attendance, he always made sure that the food was kosher — a gesture the rabbi appreciated.
As political observers speculate about Pence, Lenkowsky made sure to note that his future isn't confined to the next presidential race, even if many of his supporters hope he will run.
"I think it's important to remember that Mike is still a very young man," he said of the 61-year-old vice president. "Well, it may very well be that 2024 will not be the year for him, but 2028 could be. He's still certainly well within the range given the people we've been electing. The real challenge will be how he keeps himself in the public eye between now and if he does decide to run again."
For Hasten, the answer to that question is simple. "The day after Joe Biden is inaugurated as the 46th president," he said, "I hope Mike Pence puts his hat in the ring as running for president of the United States."
Even if Trump declares his candidacy — a possibility that has been repeatedly floated — Hasten emphasized that Pence should still enter the race.
"He should challenge Donald Trump for the leadership of the Republican Party," Hasten said, suggesting that the time had come for Pence to abandon his subservience to the president. "What is he going to lose?"

Experiencing the country in different ways. That is the mantra that local tour operators and the Department of Tourism (DOT) are conveying to foreign and domestic tourists interested in exploring the archipelago. The "Philippine Travel Mart," was held recently to showcase prime destinations, special tour packages and other travel opportunities to prospective buyers and consumers. It was co-sponsored by the Philippine Tour Operators Association (PHILTOA) and the DOT.
Whether it be touring the city of Manila by boat on the Pasig River, or partaking in an exotic, culinary-themed tour of Pampanga, or engaging in more physically-oriented activities in typical relaxation areas such as Boracay, repeat clients and visitors are being offered a more adventurous, unique tourism experience.
In 2008, the DOT and PHILTOA formulated a National Ecotourism Strategy Initiative to provide an assortment of new activities to entice tourists and to promote the protection and conservation of the environment as well.
For those that want both a land and sea escapade, "Crawl & Row" offers spelunking (or cave exploring) at Nueva Vizcaya's Capisanan Cave System, as well as whitewater rafting at the Chico River in the Cordilleras. Then there's Sagada in Mountain Province with caves so deep they appear to extend down to the ends of the earth. Also up north in Tuguegarao is the famous Callao cave, and down south, in Palawan, there is the St. Paul National Park with its caves that can be explored through the underground river.
Also popular among trekkers and trail-hikers is Mt. Pinatubo, which traverses the provinces of Pampanga, Tarlac and Zambales, where one can view the spectacular landscape. The area is also very popular among 4X4 enthusiasts who enjoy riding through creeks, dunes and rocks.
For a more immersive, cultural experience, there's "Every Island, an Adventure," with a wide assortment of activities the whole family can enjoy. Unique activities include oyster gathering in Calamianes Group of Islands and a safari tour of Calauit Game Reserve and Wildlife Sanctuary, both in Palawan.
Not for the faint-hearted, there's "Tuna, Tubing & Tibolis" in Sarangani province with its local version of the bouncy, soaking, white-water rafting, called "tubing" (where instead of a traditional raft, the passengers sit on recycled rubber tires).
For its part, Cebu has a number of beautiful islands to explore. Famous beaches like those in Sumilon, Malapascua, Camotes and Bantayan islands present a variety of physically-oriented prospects, such as jet skiing, parasailing, snorkeling and banana boat riding. With ample attractions, beach front Cebu hotels, adventures and restaurants, Cebu invites travelers for enjoying a remarkable vacation.
Farther down south, Davao is a popular locale for extreme sports, with activities like hiking, trekking, snorkeling, diving, bungee-jumping, bird-watching, island-hopping and camping. There's the "Highlands to Islands" tour, which consists of a tuna dinner, Philippine Eagle and wildlife tour, mountain biking and zip-lining on the longest zipline in the region.
Other specialized-theme activities for tourists include, but are not limited to, "Rafting & Rappelling," which encompasses whitewater rafting, zipline and cultural immersion in Cagayan de Oro and rappelling in Camiguin; "Hike & Wave," which consist of wakeboarding in Camarines Sur and climbing Mt. Mayon in Albay; the "Bicol Xpress," which also includes wakeboarding in Camarines Sur, but with the added bonus of a whale-shark interaction tour in Donsol; and "Rock & Surf," which consists of rock-climbing in Atimonan and surfing in Daet.
Activities are not limited to sports. There are also special educational opportunities for visitors to interact with local residents and learn about indigenous cultures such as that of the T'boli tribe of Lake Sebu in Mindanao.
With rural provinces and islands naturally getting most of the attention due to their exotic and relaxing atmosphere, Metro Manila has been gradually losing its appeal. To prop up its touristy draw, the government and the private sector have teamed up to introduce the Pasig River Travel Cruise, a unique way of touring the metropolis aboard air-conditioned boats that cruise the Pasig. Besides providing a different view of the city, peripheral tours corresponding to each station destination have been developed. At the Binondo station, for example, tourists can embark the boat and go on a culinary walking tour of Chinatown. In historic Sta. Ana, there's the Heritage Tour, where visitors can explore archeological finds and heritage structures. On Lawton, there's the "Manila Madness Tour," where shoppers can visit the nearby tiangges and malls. Last, but not least, there's the Walled City of Intramuros, with its own distinct historical walking tour.
No matter the location or one's preference — whether to relax and simply enjoy the view and breeze, or engage in the most strenuous of physical adventures — the Philippines has it.

Following a successful Rapid Advisory Service (RAS) in 2018, CRIDF has agreed to continue helping the bi-national Komati Basin Water Authority (KOBWA) better deal with drought and climate change in both eSwatini and South Africa. Formed in 1993, the Authority manages the release of water from Driekoppies Dam in South Africa and Maguga Dam in eSwatini for hydropower generation and for water users downstream, who particularly rely on the Komati River (also known as the Incomati) for irrigation.
KOBWA first met with CRIDF in early January 2018 and the RAS commenced in March. The CRIDF team has provided ideas and a methodology with high-level costings for a holistic drought management plan; climate resilient approaches for the Authority's strategy and operations; and water system modelling refinements that promise to add value. CRIDF is collaborating with KOBWA to support a holistic and pro-poor climate resilience approach to drought management planning in the Basin, with a focus on the Authority's areas of jurisdiction in eSwatini and South Africa.
On 1 November 2018, at KOBWA's headquarters by Maguga Dam, the partners met again to agree to continued CRIDF support that will build on the RAS. The engagement will continue for the next six months in collaboration between, and with combined funding from, the two parties. The next steps are to detail the tasks and methodology for an integrated approach to holistic drought management planning; agree to a project programme; assemble project teams; and complete the assignment by May 2019.


Sales Stories are standard conversation pieces at watering holes all over the world - always have been, always will be.
How often have we sales people made fun of "idiot customers" and remember that time we spilled coffee on the prospect's desk.
Or when we put that open, felt-tipped pen in our pocket, latter realizing while we were presenting, a spot of black ink expanded on our shirt, distracting the prospect and propelling our presentation into the annals of "funny sales stories".
It is interesting to see what the guy on the "other side of the table" thinks and what he thinks is funny.
Over at The Industry Standard, Johna Till Johnson, Networld World, pieced together this narrative about "...the sheer entertainment factor of the "dog and pony show" as carrier salespeople and sales engineers present their responses to the RFP..."
"...The carrier obligingly scoped out a scenario, including a managed router connecting into the MPLS network, and a parallel Internet router connecting into the Internet (over a separate local loop). The carrier then added a Session Initiation Protocol trunking card to link the site PBX into one of the routers. The only problem: it plugged the PBX into the Internet router, not the MPLS one — arguing the customer needed to "keep the MPLS network available for data..."
My response - "huh?" Why is this funny? Did I miss somin?
The post is short - so go over and check it out if you like, here.
My favorite nugget is this statement, "...Carriers often invest a lot of time and energy in these presentations, typically bringing a half-dozen employees in to extol the wonders of their company..."
I have often wondered why competitors and at times, my own management, feels the need to bring an army of "presentors" to a client meeting.
Many times, it is quite comical.

Have Banking Regulators Crossed the Line?
Have banking regulations gone too far in the wake of the 2008 global financial crisis, imposing unreasonable costs and restrictions on the industry?
Many bankers think so. Top leadership from major international banks, policy-makers, regulators and academics gathered recently for a conference jointly hosted by IESE and the Columbia School for International and Public Affairs (SIPA). In its fourth year, the conference, this year entitled "Whither Regulatory Reform? Challenges for the Future of Banking," met in New York.
The conference is an important international forum for banking and financial leaders as it provides an intimate and open space in which they can candidly discuss the major issues facing their industry.
Among the attendees were: IESE Dean Franz Heukamp; Jordi Canals, professor of Economics and Strategic Management at IESE; Jordi Gual, chairman of CaixaBank and professor of Economics at IESE; Xavier Vives, professor of Economics and Financial Management at IESE; Patricia Mosser, director of SIPA's Initiative on Central Banking and Financial Policy; Sandie O'Connor, chief regulatory affairs officer for JPMorgan Chase; Baron Herman Daems, chairman of BNP Paribas Fortis and chairman of KU Leuven; Wilson Ervin, vice chairman at Credit Suisse; Paco Ybarra, global head of markets and securities services at Citi; and Sean Campbell, associate director in the division of banking supervision and regulation at the Federal Reserve Board.
The keynote speaker was Lord Mervyn King, former governor of the Bank of England and professor of economics and law at the Stern School of Business at New York University. The conference is conducted under Chatham House Rules.
The years since the financial crisis have seen a dramatic shift in the relationship between the government and the financial sector. New regulations have spurred major changes in business practices and organization, particularly in the largest international financial institutions. But while regulation may have been necessary in areas such as capital ratios and higher liquidity buffers, striking the balance between financial stability and dynamism has not been easy.
Questions surrounding capital and liquidity requirements ruled the day, as did discussion regarding the great pains banks must undertake to ensure compliance with regulatory measures.
Overall, there was general consensus on the criticisms of the post-recession regulatory changes. While most agreed on the need for a review of financial industry practices and for regulatory reform, they felt the regulatory scope was too far reaching and bogged down the gears of business restricting performance, slowing decision-making, and stifling growth.
Throughout the day, panelists and speakers returned to the idea that bank resources are drained by the armies of lawyers, compliance officers and support staff necessary to ensure a bank is abiding by all of the new regulatory measures.
And the problems that spring from these compliance efforts are multiplied for international banks. It has become exponentially more difficult for international banks to operate, balancing domestic and international regulations, disparate cultures, and massive geo-political upheavals, a number of speakers said.
The amount of capital and institutional resources required to stay in compliance means that banks don't put enough time and resources in areas such as clients, lending, business strategy, cybersecurity and digitization.
The "regulation has enormously increased bureaucracy and slowed us down," as one leader said. And, "lending has slowed and capital preservation has increased, instead of giving it to businesses or individuals." This undermines the role of a bank in an economy to support economic growth.
The discussion began with the introduction of an academic paper which argued Dodd-Frank needed serious reform as it had not achieved its objectives and had been undermined by lobbying efforts on behalf of the housing and mortgage industry.
Real estate is the primary threat to the systemic problems in the U.S. and elsewhere, one panelist argued. "It has been the source of 75% of banking crises in recent decades," the panelist noted.
