Managing Fulfillment in Omni-Channel Retailing: How to Use Technology to Enable Your Omni-Channel Strategy
published by Accellos, a HighJump Company
As with any new concept, there have been leaders and laggards when it comes to developing an omni-channel retailing strategy. The stories of Amazon.com and Borders Group provide a great example of companies in the same industry with two very different outcomes (see box on page 3). The good news is that even the laggards (at least the ones that are still around) have an opportunity to be successful. Technology is a great enabler in solving the problems that omni-channel retailing presents.
This white paper examines:
- The trends in omni-channel retailing
- Key challenges that it presents to supply chain operations
- How technology can ensure that profitability is maintained as new sales channels are pursued.

William Eggleston's iconic photographs have had a lasting impact on contemporary cinema, says SF Said
It's hard now to imagine how ground-breaking William Eggleston's photographs must have looked when they first appeared.
Back in 1976, his exhibition at New York's Museum of Modern Art was the first one-man show of colour photography in that institution's history. It was greeted with hostility and incomprehension; the New York Times called it "the most hated show of the year".
Three decades on, at the age of 66, Eggleston is widely known as the father of colour photography. The ICA in London is hosting a major tribute to him this month. The centrepiece is Michael Almereyda's new documentary, William Eggleston in the Real World; but the season also includes Eggleston's legendary video feature, Stranded in Canton, and a series of movies influenced by him, including contributions from Gus Van Sant (Elephant), Sofia Coppola (The Virgin Suicides), David Lynch (Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me) and Harmony Korine (Gummo).
"It's like suddenly people are ready, in a way that they weren't before," says Almereyda. "I think it's partly because Bill has influenced so many other people that the sensibility seems more acceptable; it's less shocking or puzzling."
Eggleston's sensibility is radically democratic. He takes photographs of the everyday places, people and things that most of us take for granted. His eye is drawn to the ephemeral minutiae of life, mainly in the American South: cars, shopping trolleys, road signs; gas station forecourts and empty back yards; decaying furniture and discarded toys.
But the way he looks at his subjects - from strange angles, saturated with intense light and colour - gives them an iconic stature, investing them with mystery and grace. He is one of those rare artists who can make you see the world differently, because his pictures reveal the magic and terror, the beauty and horror that is latent in the everyday.
"Eggleston's photographs look like they were taken by a Martian who lost the ticket for his flight home and ended up working at a gun shop in a small town near Memphis," writes Geoff Dyer in his new book on photography, The Ongoing Moment. "On the weekends, he searches for that lost ticket …with a haphazard thoroughness that confounds established methods of investigation. It could be under a bed among a bunch of down-at-heel shoes; or in the Thanksgiving turkey… under the seat of a kid's looming tricycle - it could be anywhere."
Such subject matter was once deemed inappropriate for photography, particularly by contrast with the spectacular vistas captured by the likes of Ansel Adams. That was one reason why Eggleston provoked negative reactions; another was his use of colour in itself, previously thought to be suitable only for advertising, not for art.
But he's had a massive impact on the form, transforming notions of style and subject matter alike in the course of a career that encompasses some 450,000 photographs. You can see his influence in the work of artists as diverse as Juergen Teller, Nan Goldin and Stephen Shore. It's there, too, in rock and roll; Eggleston's images have appeared on album covers for bands such as Big Star and Primal Scream.
Most of all, though, his sensibility can be seen in contemporary cinema. Sofia Coppola has openly discussed her debt to him. "It was the beauty of banal details that was inspirational," she has said. Equally, Gus Van Sant's films are hard to imagine without Eggleston. Some scenes - such as the celebrated sky shots in Elephant - appear to be direct homages.
"There's a clear sweep of influence that's connected to some well-known people who acknowledge his impact," says Almereyda, himself the director of Hamlet (2000). "But also almost every designer I know in movies will have Eggleston as a reference point; it's become very common. There's something about his aesthetic that's penetrated the culture. It seems to be the moment for it."
Daily Telegraph film critic Tim Robey sees echoes of Eggleston's aesthetic in a range of directors, from American independents including Terrence Malick, David Lynch and David Gordon Green, through to German mavericks such as Werner Herzog and Wim Wenders. "Eggleston can change styles so radically," says Robey. "But it's generally the ordinary and the decrepit, captured in a sublime way, a transcendent way. Dead objects that no one uses any more, brought to life by light."
Almereyda's documentary gives valuable insights into the methods behind this remarkable body of work. Eggleston has always claimed that he shoots fast and free; that he only ever takes one version of a picture, and then moves on. The film captures him doing precisely that: prowling the streets, hunting for images.
In one extraordinary sequence, Almereyda follows the photographer into an abandoned, ramshackle house, intercutting footage of Eggleston at work with stills of the pictures he's taking. The effect is electrifying; what seems to us like a commonplace dusty corner is transformed by the photographer's eye into an arrangement of sunlight and shadow that blazes with almost hallucinatory life.
"It's hard to define with any dignity the feelings that come out of these pictures, because they can seem casual, but they have an emotion rising out of them that to me is very intense," says Almereyda.
"Ansel Adams had to travel to a mountain and photograph something you couldn't see any other way - but Eggleston is able to make what's available to everyone's eyes seem miraculous."
Though Eggleston seems entirely comfortable being filmed at work, he clams up the minute Almereyda asks him to talk about the meaning of his pictures. Indeed, in every interview he has ever done, the photographer grows evasive, and ultimately silent, when faced with such questions.
"He's not interested in describing or discussing what he does," says Almereyda. "He's more interested in doing it."
Despite everything he's achieved already, it's possible that Eggleston's full impact on filmmaking has yet to be felt. As well as still photography, he was also a pioneer of video art in the early '70s. Customising a Sony Porta-Pak to enable him to film in the dark, he shot many hours of footage in the nightclubs, bars and streets of Memphis, showing his friends and acquaintances talking, singing, brawling through the night.
The results were recently edited down to make a feature, Stranded in Canton. It looks utterly original, even today. It seems to prefigure punk rock and the more anarchic moments of Dogme films - but nothing else really comes close to the energy, humour and wild unpredictability of this one-off piece of filmmaking.
"It shows a different side to him than he's let loose anywhere else," says Almereyda. "He talks about picking up a video camera again, but he's kind of circumspect about it. He's not the guy he was 30 years ago, so it might be hard for him to get around and do anything that bold and chaotic."
Nevertheless, when the film screened at the Prince Charles cinema in London last year, Leicester Square was overflowing with people desperate to get in. It's taken 30 years - but at last, it seems, the world is ready for William Eggleston's singular visions.
- The William Eggleston season is at the ICA, London SW1 (020 7930 3647), from Thurs.

Fig.1 Only God Forgives, Movie Poster (2013)
Brought to us by Drive director Nicolas Winding Refn, Only God Forgives is a neo-noir/art-house picture starring Ryan Gosling and Kristin Scott Thomas. The film has received varying reviews including 5/5 from Empire Online and only 40% from Rotten Tomatoes. Ali Arikan describes the film for Roger Ebert online as "an overly directed film that strives for effect with each scene. (Arikan, 2013). Although many feel the movie is lacking in certain aspects, the production art and the sound are two of the more successful features. The majority of the film is set at night, immediately giving a more moody and dangerous feel and bright colour is used extensively to depict the feel of the particular scene, predominantly with contrasting blues and reds. (Figs 2 & 3).
Fig.2 Use of colour - blues, Movie Still (2013)
Fig.3 Use of colour - reds, Movie Still (2013)
The film is set in Bangkok, Thailand and centres around main character Julian, played by Gosling. He is an ex-pat who runs a Muay Thai boxing club which fronts the drug smuggling business he runs with his brother, Billy. Revenge seems to be the main theme of the film and Winding Refn is very graphic and grotesque when it comes to violence. When Billy is killed to avenge the murder of a prostitute, Julian's mother Crystal (Fig.4) arrives to find the man who murdered her son. Also on the scene is the mysterious semi-retired policeman, Chang (Fig.5), known locally as the Angel of Death. Chang, played by Vithaya Pansringarm, has a penchant for karaoke and kills his victims with a bushido sword which he magically produces from behind his back (Fig.6). Ultimately, Chang and Crystal are searching to kill each other, with the frustrated Julian playing 'piggy in the middle'.

Fig. 5 Chang, the Angel of Death, Movie Still (2013)
Fig.6 Karaoke Chang, Movie Still (2013)
There is an obvious theme in the film of frustration and restraint when it comes to the character of Julian. His mother is very controlling and Julian feels so loyal to her that it affects his relationships with women. He has an obvious love interest in the film but holds back when it comes to any physical contact with her. His fists are clenched often, depicting restriction and also possibly defence (Fig.7). The only time we see a break through in his advances are when his mother is killed and he purposefully cuts open her stomach and puts his hand into her body. This is surely a reference to being back in the womb and the closeness he always longed for but never had. Damon Wise describes the character in his Empire Online review as "a hallucinatory study of guilt and a punishing vision of one man's private purgatory." (Wise, 2013). Gosling has less than 20 lines in the entire film, so much of the portrayal of his character is through his silent emotions and the impression one gets through the absence of dialect.
Fig.7 Julian with clenched fists, Movie Still (2013)
Undoubtedly a film that many will argue over for years to come, Only God Forgives is memorable mainly for its violence, production art, lighting and sound. The ending is unannounced and it would take more than one viewing to completely form opinions. In his Telegraph review, Robbie Collin says "Some of the most adrenalizing moments in motor racing are not the victories but the crashes, and Only God Forgives is the spectacle of a brilliant young director spinning out in style. It's a beautiful disaster." (Collin, 2013). Maybe not a film to suit everyone, but one that will keep you guessing for days about what actually happened. So much so that you will most probably want to watch it again.

BEIRUT (Reuters) - A Turkish national is among a group of Syrian men kidnapped in by a Lebanese clan on Wednesday in retaliation for the abduction of one of their relatives by the rebel Free Syrian Army, a diplomat in Beirut said.
Members of the Meqdad clan earlier warned that citizens of Turkey, Qatar and Saudi Arabia could be under threat. All three countries have thrown their weight behind the revolt in Syria.

For what is arguably a small, niche brand, Lexus began the year in impressive fashion. First up came the launch of the sharper new RX. And more recently an upgraded version of the GS. I had the opportunity to spend a couple of days behind the wheel of the latest Lexus GS 200t. This new-generation GS is nicely positioned between the brand's entry-level vehicle (the ES) and the flagship LS, with a significant change being the introduction of the 2-litre turbocharged 4-cylinder engine that you will also find in the IS and RC models.
First impressions are always important, and in this case you immediately notice that the car has a more muscular, aggressive design. Those large, deep concave panels at the front — something that is quickly becoming a trademark for the Lexus brand — along with the recognisable spindle grille framed by satin-chrome trim and flanked by LED lights, make this particular vehicle stand out from the crowd. In its press release, Lexus describes the GS's looks as a "bolder design".
I would take it a step further and say it's a radical approach, which Lexus has managed to pull off without making the car appear garish. But the rear of the GS is definitely more subdued. Although the dual exhaust outlets — incorporated into a colour-coded lower bumper — tend to look more muscled, they are still understated. Step into the cabin and the craftsmanship and quality one associates and expects from Lexus is on display: classy leather (which incorporates a lot of double stitching), the horizontal sweep of the dashboard, a large 12.3-inch display screen and just the right number of knobs and switches to make you feel right at home.
The vehicle is highly-specced when it comes to standard comfort features. To mention but a few: three-zone air-conditioning, metal finishes to the gear lever, air vents, door handles and switches, drive mode select and a navigation system. Our test vehicle came with an attractive interior combination of ivory and black hues. I had to wonder, though, whether it would still be as handsome after a few trips to get takeaways with a couple of kids in tow. If you want to play it safe, go for the all-black option. You would have to be pretty eagle-eyed to notice that the steering wheel of the new-generation GS has shrunk, but you still have regular features — such as cruise control and audio functions — a fingertip away.
The GS range's new lineup is pretty straightforward: the only alternative to the GS 200t is the GS 350 F-Sport. The 450h model is no longer available. Unfortunately, my two days behind the wheel of the vehicle were largely spent just commuting to and from work. I say unfortunately because, as comfortable as it was with its many features, this particular midsize luxury sedan is crying out to be taken on a road trip. The car isn't one to leap from the starting blocks the second you plant your foot — but then it's not about robot-to-robot theatrics. It's about refinement and enjoyment as you cruise along, quietly paddle-shifting through the eight gears. Cabin noise is greatly reduced thanks to sound-absorbing material used in the cabin.
So you can kick back and enjoy the 12-speaker surround-sound system without any intrusion from the outside. Finding a comfortable driving position is also easy, with everything being electrically adjustable. The GS 200t has a claimed combined fuel consumption of around 8l/100km — enough to take to you Durban on one tank. Take it up another level to the range-topping GS 350 F-Sport and you can enjoy a more powerful engine; the F-Sport steering wheel; leather sport seats; 19- inch alloy wheels; adaptive variable suspension; rear spoiler; four-wheel active steer and the obligatory F-Sport badging. Competition for the GS 200t comes primarily from class-leading manufacturers such as Audi, with its A6, BMW's 5-series and Mercedes-Benz's E-Class. But, I must admit, the more I drive the models that Lexus produces, the more I admire what the company is about: producing luxury vehicles with an understated level of sophistication and refinement — but also with excellent safety features and technology that will keep the majority of motorists more than satisfied. There are no shortage of these elements in the new GS.

LOS ANGELES — Girlfriends Films will release the latest boy/girl feature from director B. Skow, "Homecoming," this Tuesday.
The cast of "Homecoming" includes Casey Calvert (Gloria), Presley Hart (Gloria's Friend), Jenna J. Ross (Bitty), Raven Rockette (Norma), Steven St. Croix (Tony), Zoey Holloway (Cora), Ralph Long (Jim), and Michael Vegas (Bradley).
"Homecoming" is an emotional drama about a family in turmoil. Tony and Cora always wanted the perfect family, but they ended up with the one they have: an oldest daughter who is an adulteress, a cross-dressing, sex-addicted son, and a youngest daughter who ponders breaking off her engagement to a wealthy playboy because she questions her sexual preference. When the kids come home to visit, it's a weekend of simple truths for the family, and they find happiness through honesty and acceptance.
Skow remarked, "The cast did an amazing job of bringing their characters to life. 'Homecoming' is about a family that finds love through acceptance, so for the message to come across, it was extremely important for the cast to create a strong connection between each other, as well as with the audience. I believe all of them were extremely successful."
To view box art, product information, and the trailer for "Homecoming," click here.
In August 2012, Girlfriends Films began a one-year distribution deal for productions with boy/girl sex content directed by B. Skow. The first title was the award-nominated "Voilà," a modern boy-meets-girl-meets-girl tale starring Penny Pax, Veruca James, and Kris Slater, followed by "Paint," a romantic-triangle drama featuring Dana DeArmond, Chastity Lynn and Ryan Driller.

The 2017/18 Dalrymple Lecture Series will be delivered by
Professor Roger Wilson, University of British Columbia
R. J. A. Wilson is Director of the Centre for the Study of Ancient Sicily at the University of British Columbia. His previous positions were as Professor of the Archaeology of the Roman Empire at the same university, Professor of Archaeology at the University of Nottingham and Louis Claude Purser Associate Professor at Trinity College, University of Dublin. Recipient of the Killam Prize in 2012 at UBC for his lifetime contribution to research, he has also been Alexander von Humboldt Fellow at the University of Bonn (1987/9), Visiting Professor Classics at McMaster University (Hamilton, Ontario) in 1998, Balsdon Senior Research Fellow at the British School of Rome (2001/02), Charles Eliot Norton Lecturer for the Archaeological Institute of America (2007), and Guest Fellow at the Getty Research Institute, Los Angeles (2012). He is a graduate of the University of Oxford, where he also studied for his DPhil. His research concerns mainly the Roman archaeology of the central Mediterranean, with a special emphasis on Sicily, but he has also written on Roman Britain and Roman Germany. He has written over 140 papers and book chapters, and in addition is the author or editor of ten books, including Guide to the Roman Remains in Britain (1975; 1980; 1988, 2002; fifth edition in preparation), Piazza Armerina (1983) and Sicily under the Roman Empire (1990). His most recent book (2016) is Caddeddi on the Tellaro: a late Roman villa and its mosaics (2016). He is currently excavating a Roman villa at Gerace (Sicily). The last two projects will feature in two of his Dalrymple lectures.
13-16 November 2017
The archaeology of Roman Sicily
Sicily stands at the crossroads of the Mediterranean and is a palimpsest of cultures stretching over many centuries. While its Greek and Phoenician past has attracted much attention, its Roman archaeology, with one or two exceptions, is perhaps not so well known. The lectures will review a range of evidence which contributes to our knowledge of the province of Sicilia – what Cicero called 'the first jewel in our imperial crown' – starting with its acquisition as Rome's earliest overseas possession in the middle of the third century BC, and closing with examination of a site of the seventh century AD, by which time the island had become part of the Byzantine Empire. Some spectacular and familiar monuments, such as the Roman theatre at Taormina with its dramatic backdrop of mount Etna and the sea, and the world-famous villa at Piazza Armerina with its stunning mosaic pavements, will be presented alongside less familiar evidence, including the results of the speaker's own fieldwork and other recent research. We shall also be exploring the extent to which Roman culture made an impact on the essentially Greek character of this magical island.
6.30pm Lecture One – Setting the scene: provincia Sicilia
Sicily became a Roman province in 241 BC and remained one until the Byzantine conquest of the island in AD 535. This introductory lecture will assess the evolving character of the island under Roman rule, so far as it is known from archaeological evidence. Changes in urban structure saw many of the hill-top towns in the interior, still flourishing under the Roman Republic, decline under the Empire, while the coastal cities expanded and flourished, as shown by impressive urban building projects. In the countryside agro-towns and village settlements sprang up in place of the old hill towns, and were joined by numerous farms and villas. The latter reached their apogee in the fourth and fifth centuries AD, when Sicily once more became an important grain supplier for Italy. We will also explore Sicily's place in the maritime trade networks of the Roman world, including evidence for both Sicilian exports and imports, and the role of inscriptions as a monitor of the use of both Greek and Latin (and to a lesser extent Punic) in what Apuleius refers to in the second century AD as a trilingual island.
6.30pm Lecture Two – Living in luxury: the late Roman villa at Caddeddi on the Tellaro
The Roman villa in contrada Caddeddi on the Tellaro river, near Noto in south-east Sicily, was discovered by chance in 1970; but it was only opened to the public in 2008 and remains little known. The villa dates to the second half of the fourth century AD, and so belongs a generation or more later than the famous villa of Casale near Piazza Armerina. This talk will look at what is known about this élite Sicilian residence of a late Roman aristocrat, and will consider in detail the three figured mosaics, setting them in context by comparing them with parallels elsewhere. It seems very probable that all the floors were laid by itinerant African craftsmen based at Carthage, working at Caddeddi on an overseas contract. Particularly impressive is the dazzling polychromy of these pavements and the wide range of incidental detail that they contain about the late Roman world, both civilian and military.
6.30pm Lecture Three – Philippianus and his rural estate: recent excavations at Gerace near Enna
Gerace is a Roman estate centre in the heart of Sicily which the speaker has been excavating since 2013. A substantial estate granary, built c. AD 325/350 but violently destroyed, probably by earthquake, was succeeded by a compact Roman villa in the late fourth century, which had been equipped with some mosaic pavements but appears unfinished. Ubiquitous tile-stamps recording the name of Philippianus indicate the estate owner at that time. Further up the hill a more substantial bath-house, built perhaps c. AD 400, was found in 2016, decorated with polychrome marble on the walls and geometric mosaics on the floors, but this structure was systematically stripped of its building materials (and the floors smashed) when the baths were decommissioned in the fifth century – an interesting example of Roman recycling. Whether the baths were part of another villa or an independent structure is currently unknown. A small low-status village replaced the élite villa in the early Byzantine period.
7.30pm Lecture Four – Dining with the dead: life and death in an early Byzantine village at Punta Secca near Ragusa
Punta Secca (RG), known to millions of Italians as the home of TV cop, Salvo Montalbano, lies on the south coast of Sicily. Excavation in 2008–2010, directed by the speaker, in a late Roman and early Byzantine village here, examined in detail a previously unexcavated house, and revealed much about it and its commercial contacts with other parts of Sicily and the wider Mediterranean world. A big surprise was the discovery of a substantial tomb in the yard of the house, made c. AD 625/630. Who was inside the tomb? Was it a pagan or a Christian burial? What evidence was there for graveside meals, and what did they eat? And why was the tomb here, in a house, rather than in the village cemetery, or, if the deceased was Christian, in or near the village church? These and other intriguing questions will be addressed in the talk, and the discovery set in the context of what else is known about such practices in the late Roman and early Byzantine worlds.
Lectures take place in the Sir Charles Wilson Lecture Theatre, University of Glasgow (corner of Gibson Street and University Avenue)
About The Dalrymple Lecture Series
This prestigious lecture series was instituted by James Dalrymple Gray of Dalrymple. James Dalrymple was born in July 1852 in Newcastle-upon Tyne to the Reverend Thomas Gray and his wife Mary Dalrymple. He later assumed his mother's family name when, on the death of his uncle, he succeeded to the estates belonging to her family. He studied law at both Edinburgh and Glasgow Universities, and subsequently practised in Glasgow.
In 1877 he became the Honorary Secretary of Glasgow Archaeological Society which was in decline at the time. With the help of others he succeeded in re-invigorating the Society and held the post of Secretary for some 25 years. He introduced the regular monthly meetings on the third Thursday of the month (a practice still in force today) and often presented papers on a range of topics, particularly castles and churches. He became President of Glasgow Archaeological Society in 1904.
Established in the years 1907-1912 by the annual covenant of James Dalrymple to commemorate the Fiftieth Anniversary of the Society, and subsequently endowed by his bequest which ensures its continuance today. In 1935 it was decided to appoint a permanent Lecturer and, in alternate years, a Special Lecturer for that year only. The Fund is administered by a Board of Curators, four appointed by the University Court and three by the Council of the Glasgow Archaeological Society.
The subject was to be 'some branch of European archaeology' and the Dalrymple lectures have been delivered by many of the most distinguished figures in twentieth and twenty-first century archaeology.

Br-other, 2016
Out of the bear cave here comes Jack.
Laughing like a maniac.
His Copic markers primed to attack.
His Pikachu bag strapped to his back.
Marshmallow Fluff for tonight's snack.
Paper and pens all jam packed.
Humming to the Bleach soundtrack.
Out of the bear cave here comes Jack.
Ooona, 1911
Ooona sooner died that night,
Onboard the ship of violent dreams.
She rummaged through her brother's drawer,
And burned her eyes with shaving cream.
Oui Wee Girl, 1954
Oui Wee Girl
Bonjour Hello
Dropped her pee
All done below.
Nikki Noo Noo, 2015
Nikki Nikki Noo Noo
What dya plan to do do?
Will you take this through through?
And kill the girl next door?
Nikki Nikki Naa Naa
You took that too fa-far
Did you go to RADA?
You've killed the girl next door.
Nikki Nikki Nee Nee
How come you don't see see
What you've come to be be?
Why you do that for?
Nikki Nikki Nay Nay
I think you've changed your way way
Not much more to say say
Nikki Nikki… no more.
Grammatically Uncorrect, 2012
Commas, commas, in the, air
Apostrophe's flying everywhere
Move that colon: from over there
Insert a semi; go on; I dare.
Who needs grammar? No, not I
'You and me' or "you and I"?
Will you take time to find out why?
Or sit their literally on standby?
The effect of this won't have an affect
Nor change or alter nor disconnect
You're understanding, your intellect
Its farther and further away from the rest.
So please just listen for Gods's sake
And be content that you partake
I ask you except my mistakes
I promise not again to make...
The Mime Artist From Peru, 2012
You cannot see him, but he sees you.
He is the mime artist from Peru.
Can you see him?
He sees you.
But he dies a very quiet death.
He has no face, so blank as air.
He creeps about the village square.
Can you see him?
He sees you.
But he dies a very quiet death.
The Grimsby Witch, 2015
Grimmer than Grimsby and just as dull.
Old and stale, less famous than Hull.
For she is the queen with the eyes that pierce.
The Grimsby Witch that everybody fears.
Johanna, Oh, 2015
Oh, Johanna. Johanna, oh.
Come back here. Johanna, go.
That knife perplexed. Johanna, no.
Blood is dripping. Johanna, woe.
Your life is over. Johanna, so.
Now you're dead. Johanna, oh...
Lipa, 2013
Little, little Lipa
Awake is his small bed.
His mummy is not home
He's worried that she's dead.
Leaving, she said: "Lipa,
I'm just taking out my eyes.
For they are feeling itchy
So I think that this is wise."
Then she left out of the door
Lipa shouted from afar:
"Mummy don't forget your eyes
You won't see where you are!"
He worried and he wept
Thought his mummy was now blind.
Black holes instead of eyes
Nightmares going through his mind.
So he waited up all night
Until his mummy did return.
He'd try and buy her new eyes
With some money he would earn.
When his mummy did come back
Lipa jumped at her with glee.
"Your eyes have come back!
And it looks like you can see."
Lipa's mummy gave a laugh
And then to his surprise.
Explained the real story
About her not-so-absent eyes.
She hugged her little son
Then put Lipa to his senses.
"Dear boy, you misheard me -
I took out my contact lenses!"
Suicide Eyes, 2015
Eyes wide like suicide,
Nothing to hide although she tried.
They lied and lied to push her aside,
She smiled wide, caught in her stride.
Their words like knives, knocked all her pride,
She cried and cried nothing to find.
Was this her life, was there no guide?
What of the tides, would they change side?
Eyes wide like they had died,
Suicide she couldn't hide.
Donna Sue, 2015
Donna-Sue, full of spew
Shit comes out your lips.
No-one cares, they all stare
At your decreasing hips.
Donna-Sue, full of spew
Soon you'll be no more.
Lying dead, upon your head
In sick on your cold floor.
Ned's End, 2011
When Ned was dead
His mother cried
For he was gone
For he had died
And that was it
No more no more
She spurned the world
And nature's law
A thousand oceans
Dried to sand
She'd never hold
Her son's cold hand
His heart had stopped
His heart had failed
She cried for days
She screamed and wailed
Why not her?
She'd lived her life
Instead she'd live
With hurt and strife
The clock did tick
The clock did chime
The clock did stop
Forever in time
A friend called Death
Had took him away
But she didn't agree
She had no say
Removed of mettle
She was forlorn
Life had ceased
She'd always mourn
He was too young
A boy of four
It wasn't fair
No more no more...

He cries hugging daadi and says he knows how Diwakar got money, he sold the plot which he gifted to mom.

Son sus campanas azules Españolas o Inglesas?
It's bluebell time and, for the first time ever, I've been able to get some to grow in a pot. What's more they have flowered prolifically. I love coming down in the morning and seeing my little blue treasures glowing in the sunshine all fresh and hopeful. The scent is divine too and does strange things to my mood (positive) when I snort deeply. Aromatherapy does work, I'm sure of it. However, recent reading has revealed that all is not as I thought in the bignjuicy garden of love n spiritual refreshment. The extensive collection of bluebells I discovered in January are mainly alien interlopers it transpires [ in all three senses of that word ]. Do you know how to tell if your bluebells are english, spanish or hyrbrid [ these being the most common kinds hereabouts – yes, I know there are others ]?
|Flower stems nod to one side.
|Flower stems stand upright.
|Flower stems nod slightly to one side.
|Strong scent.
|Slight scent.
|Some scent.
Event though most of mine appear to be hybrids I'm going to keep them as replacing them all with English ones would a.cost a bomb and b.involve digging up vast swathes of my estate. Ninguna manera Joe.

It has been a difficult time.
I woke up, at home, during the night, and I knew we had to call the ambulance. We do have a car and we could have drove in, but something was telling me we needed to add more emergency to the situation.
I am unable to tell you what happened or what was happing. But if I am honest, I thought I was on my way out there and then.
When cancer grows it seems that the pain killers like morphine act in a different way and I could have overdosed on morphine.
There was a lot more happing than that, my body as swelled, my legs are massive and I am now unable to walk or stand.
The doctors and nurses where amazing, yet again. I don't want to embarrass anyone but a friend of mine who I have met during this experience and who is a nurse, came in to the hospital room and leave croissant each morning for us.
For me the reassurance was when the doctor said they wanted to put a semi-permanent drain on my liver. I thought if there where doing this then they have not given up on me, so I should not give up on myself.
The night before the small surgery I decided to catch up on the news, and I saw what has been happening in Manchester. I could not take it in. I had to turn the TV off.
The morning after the doctors and nurses, yet again, showed me there professionalism and fitted me in to an already busy schedule simply because they knew I was in pain.
Through out the day, doctors and nurses, friends and family ran around me, giving me a wall of strength around me.
That night I decided to face the TV, again, and see what had happened. A choir was singing outside Manchester Library singing Oasis song 'Don't Look Back in Anger'
The TV showed all different types of people, all different types of religions, believes, skin colour. Getting together, and giving each other support. It showed love interweaved in a truly tragic moment, and it showed how love will always win.
Rob and myself talked about me going into a hospice instead at home. We knew I had to have more help. It was never in my plains, but I am so glad I did. I had a view of hospices, that almost mirrored an old peoples home, this viewpoint was wrong.
The hospice is unbelievable ran on 60 percent of charitable donations. If you have ever donated towards Wheatfields and Sue Ryder, I just wanted to say a very big thank you. They are REALLY looking after me. I thought a hospice was a place to spend your last final days, but they are looking at each of my problems and trying to deal with each of them.
Thank you for all your messages of support too, I haven't been able to go though them yet, and I haven't had the strength to see everyone yet, please bare with me on this.
I have almost been here a week now, and gradually, slowly, building myself up with a lot of help.
I feel very privileged here, while there is so much badness in the world which you can see on the news, there is also a lot of goodness which I see in the hospice and hospital simply by opening my eyes.

Desktop virtualization: Vendors fight but users still happy
Cloud computing is growing far more quickly than desktop virtualization, Hurley says. The high-capacity, low-latency networks that support high-performing cloud-based applications meet most of the same specifications needed to support virtual desktops.
"Once you get beyond a three-tier network for WAN/SAN/LAN to a fabric-based network you have an environment with much greater flexibility and more data running across it and can do a lot more than you could in a dual or single-tier network," Hurley says. "We're just starting to build up a business in desktop, but we expect it to grow pretty quickly as well [as the faster growth in cloud computing]."

For my 11th National Poetry Month post, I would like to share a poet who got my attention in Column 369 of the American Life in Poetry with her poem
"Red Balloon Rising"
I tied it to your wrist
With a pretty pink bow, torn off
By the first little tug of wind.
I'm sorry.
I jumped to catch it, but not soon enough.
It darted away.
It still looked large and almost within reach.
Like a heart.
Watch, I said.
You squinted your little eyes.
The balloon looked happy, waving
The sky is very high today, I said.
Red went black, a polka dot,
Then not. We watched it,
Even though we couldn't
Spot it anymore at all.
Even after that.
It's wistful and sad and who hasn't (as a child or as an adult with a child) "watched it,/Even though we couldn't/Spot it anymore at all."

Abstract: NI2.00004 : Inflight Properties of NIF Ignition Capsules Inferred from Convergent Ablator Experiments*
Preview Abstract Abstract
Nathan Meezan
(Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory)
Convergent ablator (ConA) experiments on the National Ignition Facility (NIF) are indirect drive implosions that study the inflight dynamics of an imploding capsule. Side-on, back-lit radiography provides data used by the National Ignition Campaign to infer time-dependent properties of the capsule ablator, including its center of mass radius, velocity, unablated mass, shell thickness, and peak density. Previously, Callahan\footnote{D. A. Callahan \textit{et al.}, Phys. Plasmas \textbf{19}, 056305 (2012)} and Hicks reported ConA experiments demonstrating velocities approaching those required for ignition. Here, we present the findings from a full year of NIF ConA experiments where we have shot more than 20 targets at energies greater than 1 MJ to study the inflight dynamics of ignition-like implosions. These include: \begin{itemize} \item Studies of ablator center of mass motion vs. time, suggesting that the drive history differs substantially from that predicted by standard modeling \item Pulse shape scalings studying the dynamics of a ``fifth shock'' that can significantly increase the entropy of the DT fuel in an ignition implosion. \item Performance of different ablators, including CH ablators with graded Si doping, CH ablators with uniform Si doping, and other ablators. \item ConA experiments using capsules with cryogenic ice layers, demonstrating that gas-filled capsules are adequate surrogates for DT layered implosions. \item Studies of thicker capsules shot at powers and energies surpassing 500 TW and 1.8 MJ as we work to meet the ignition implosion velocity requirement in the presence of hydrodynamic instabilities. \end{itemize} Finally, we describe insights into hydrodynamic instabilities that we have gained through this large database, from variations in capsule performance (neutron yield and T$_{\textrm{ion}}$) as well as from the impact of mix on observed late-time ablator properties.

Happy New Year to my Jewish friends and family! I hope you are drowning yourselves in honey cakes and apples and whatever else you usually like to have. I was reading the Huffington Post the other morning, and they had some suggestions for great recipes for your celebration, and um, one of them was a bacon thing. Love bacon as I do, I think I can perhaps provide a better guide. Seriously, aren't they headquartered in New York? Couldn't they just go outside and ask anyone?
It's just me this year, so I didn't want to make a ton of stuff I couldn't eat alone, and I came up with this very, very traditional Rosh Hashanah panzanella. I'm not going to lie: this came out better than I had dreamed, and I had pretty high hopes. Everybody knows it ain't trickin' if you got it, okay?
A word to the wise: panzanella does. not. keep. Either plan to eat this the day you make it, or keep the component parts separate until you're ready to nosh.

Paul Aigner always wanted to step between a slapshot and a hockey goal. That says a lot about him.
Stress, speed, danger. They`re nothing new for Aigner. He`s a motorcycle policeman in Coral Springs who was born with a goalie`s disposition. But until this fall, he had never played ice hockey.
Aigner, of North Lauderdale, has played a lot of street hockey. He always ended up in goal. And he often wondered what it would be like on ice. This month, at 30, he found out.
The Lighthouse Point Ice Arena, which opened in October, is the site of a men`s hockey league. Aigner is one of its more than 60 players. He is the league`s most inexperienced player, but you wouldn`t have known that by his debut in the goal. His team won 9-4 as he turned back 19 shots.
``My ankles are still killing me, but it`s been great,`` Aigner said. ``I`m not the swiftest skater. I only skated two or three times before we played, but I`m getting a little better every time out.``
The league, which attracts players from Broward and Palm Beach counties, features five teams. It has allowed some South Floridians to introduce themselves to the game and others to renew their love of it.
The league features a wide range of skill levels. There are rookies like Aigner and former college players such as Paul Cinnante of Deerfield Beach. It`s a league that is designed to accommodate the gap in talent.
Norm Bolduc and John Stratton, both from Boca Raton, organized the league shortly after the rink opened. They made it a no-check league with strict rules about fighting, checking and arguing. They also balanced the talent among teams.

Watch Oliver North on "DaySide w/ Linda Vester":
Part 1, Part 2, Part 3
Ronald Reagan was easily the greatest president of my lifetime, and he will be regarded as one of the greatest leaders this country has ever had. He knew who he was, who we are as a people, and had an enthusiasm — a great confidence for the innate goodness of this nation. Some describe him as an incurable optimist and maybe he was, but that's not so bad, because he inspired a remarkable passion for all that America was and could be.
Throughout the five years that I was blessed to serve in his administration, he impressed me, and everyone around him, as a man of extraordinary vision, great compassion and resolute leadership. I was privileged to meet with him in the midst of some of the most challenging crises of the 1980's: Grenada, the hijacking of the Achille Lauro, the effort to stem the spread of communism in Central America, the raid on Qaddafi's terror bases in Libya and the explosion of jihadist terror attacks against Americans and our way of life. In every case, he sought the advice of his closest confidants, pressed them for recommendations and made tough, principled decisions rather than choosing more expedient courses of action.
The most moving recollection I have of him is an event that is related by his son, Michael, in the book he wrote about his dad:
In the aftermath of the terrorist bombing in Beirut, Lebanon which killed 241 Marines, sailors and soldiers, President Reagan flew to Camp Lejeune, North Carolina. After the ceremony, the President and Mrs. Reagan were greeting the families of those who had been killed and wounded when a little boy about four or five years old looked up at the President and said, "Mr. President, can you bring my daddy home?"
Lesser men might have gone on by or ignored the youngster, but not Ronald Reagan. The president reached down, picked up and hugged the child whose father would never come home. With tears flowing down his cheeks, the President said to the little boy, "I wish I could." That was no act. It was the raw emotion of a President who felt great compassion for that little boy and the sacrifice his father had made on behalf of this nation.
In the history books, his greatest contributions will be recognized as inspiring a generation of Americans to a cause; "Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall." And in forging relationships with other great leaders to accomplish that goal: Margaret Thatcher, Pope John Paul II, Lech Walesa, and the anti-communist leaders in Central America. He brought down the Evil Empire and made the world safer for my children and theirs. For that, I shall be forever grateful for his leadership.
Colonel North was on the National Security Council staff during the Reagan Administration and served as the U.S. government's counter-terrorism coordinator from 1983-1986. He is the host of "War Stories" on FNC.
Lt. Col. Oliver L. North (ret.) serves as host of the Fox News Channel documentary series "War Stories with Oliver North." From 1983 to 1986, he served as the U.S. government's counterterrorism coordinator on the National Security Council staff. "Counterfeit Lies," is his novel about how Iran is acquiring nuclear weapons and the means of delivering them. Click here for more information on Oliver North.

Get the facts about TNCC practical nurse jobs, registering in a technical training program, and taking free practice exams online. As a nurse, not only can you earn a good salary, but also help people at the same time. Request more information about nationally-accredited nurse training programs. If you study nursing, for example, there are a variety of concentrations that may appeal to you such as practical nurse jobs, laboratory internships, or vocational rehabilitation. Check with the nursing department for an updated schedule of classes, registration deadlines, and a list of practical nurse job requirements. Due to advances in health care, there is a growing skill-shortage of licensed practical nurses (LPN), and of qualified medical personnel in general. Please use the form above to request admissions info for TNCC.
The Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) designation is the first step in becoming a nurse. After Becoming a CNA, you will assist in caring for patients by monitoring vital statistics, bathing, feeding and maintaining personal hygiene. Most CNA programs can be completed within a few months, allowing you to begin working. As the public ages, nursing care has become a major source of employment for new technical program graduates.
The next step in a nursing career is to become a Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) or a Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN). This is a one year long program, in which you'll work under an RN, and be assigned advanced care work. Practice requirements for LPNs vary from state to state, but basic duties include passing meds, wound care, and administering feeding tubes. 1-year nursing certificate programs train students to pass the licensing test, in order to become an LPN or LVN. It is common for 90% or more of the class to find nursing jobs within 6 months. You don't have to become a registered nurse to make good money, as a licensed practical nurse with several years of work experience can earn well over $40,000 a year.

Jim Green is the forest keeper of Greenvale and the father of Lilly Ingram. He discovers the body of Anna in the woods with his grandchildren, Isaach and Isaiah Ingram. Although helpful, Jim is very wary of Agent York early on because he comes from the city, fearing that he will corrupt his naive grandkids.
Jim is an avid fisherman and will give York tips on how to catch fish and various items, and he will even give York a sturdy fishing rod for the Tabatha sidequest.
- Because his house is also a place of business, York can enter Jim's cabin at most points during the day.
- He bears a resemblence in personality and appearence to the character Pete from Twin Peaks. Like Pete he finds the first murder victim.

Ice cream with Grandma.
I love being a Mama.
Some shaving cream creation fun that my Sis pinterested and the kids loved.
It's never too early.
Poor Lil' A's first swim. Water was a tad cold and all I put in the water was her tiny foot. Sorry baby.
Hamburger Inn!!!
She's got the touch.
Baby loves her Daddy. So much.
Oh yes I did.
Trailer ride with Poppi through the woods. I loved it as much as the kids.

|Output Beffuering Question - text-based application execution via ant
|Sun, 15 Oct 2006 12:59:02 GMT
I'm sure this is a common issue, but I can't seem to find an answer/explanation for it. I'm teaching my students ANT in their programming course. We use only text-based System.out/Scanner(System.in) I/O in this course. I am finding that in student programs which require user interaction (application prompting followed by user input) the prompting seems to be buffering until the ant execution task (<java>) is completed. Is there a clear, easy way to have user interaction co-exist with ANT such that my students can use ant for execution purposes? I recall a few years ago we used to be able to do this, but it seems that the situation is now changed. There is no problem grabbing the input when the user provides it. However, the problem only seems to be that the output is buffered. Thus, the students don't see the prompts from their program. If the user knows what to enter and when, all will execute perfectly. Currently they use a run target in a form similar to: <target name="run" depends="compile" description="execute the application"> <java classname="Project1"/> </target> Thanks.
