Cobweb Solutions, one of the largest independent cloud hosting providers in Europe, has today announced the hire of Ash Patel in the new role of director of business transformation.
Cobweb is focused on providing agile technology for businesses across all industries who require flexibility matching their changing business needs. Cobweb provides complete end-to-end communications and business services via the cloud, supplying enterprise benefits at a fraction of the cost of on-premise IT, to more than 6,000 small and medium-sized business customers.
Paul Hannam, CEO and co-founder of Cobweb said: "It's a cliché to say that I'm delighted (but I really am!) to welcome Ash to Cobweb. Ash joins us as we prepare to show the world a transformation. We will soon be sharing new services with our partners and customers, giving them a brand new way of looking at the cloud."
Patel has been in the IT industry since he was 16 years old. Beginning as an IT lecturer at Uxbridge College, Patel went on to deliver networks for the RAF and the Commonwealth Games as a Wireless Strategy Architect at Locustworld, deploying wireless cloud infrastructure across sites around the world. Patel joins Cobweb from Insight where he recently led the EMEA Cloud strategy programme.
Patel explained his move, "Joining Cobweb is an exciting challenge for me. I'll be working with the team transforming 'core'Cobweb, as we evolve into an ever-more strategic IT partner for our customers. Our goal is to build mutually beneficial relationships with our partners and customers in order to help each other grow."
Patel will work with Cobweb's executive board to further develop the business' cloud strategy, strengthen the brand in cloud and services and assist in building strategic partnerships with vendors and service partners to continue the work Cobweb has begun to build a diverse portfolio of services and support. Patel had previously set up his own consultancy, helping financially constrained small businesses whose core business revolved around technology create strategies to grow effectively.
"Cobweb enthuses me. It has a great and distinguished heritage in the IT space with a very skilled employee base, delivering elevated technology solutions to customers. Joining the team felt very much like joining a family. Together we're looking forward to making waves in the industry."
Cobweb is presenting a series of inspirational talks at an event in association with Level39 on 26th February. The invitation only event will explore the disruptive and liberating power of the Cloud for people seeking a better way of working and living in our new reality of a data-driven, cloud-connected, machine-led world.

Barossa Coffee Roasters
More like a craft than a production, husband and wife Paul and Janelle Amos roast in very small batches with very big smiles… small, intimate and joyful, just the way they like it. Hand roasted, hand packed, hand stamped with the roast date is how Barossa Coffee Roasters beans make their way into the cups of the Barossa and beyond.
Barossa Coffee Roasters grew over many a cup of home roasted coffee, a shared on-the-side obsession that became a passion for freshly roasted beans that seemed to elude them in the Barossa at the time. A young family with an urge to share a passion crafted with their own hands birthed the brand. A Roaster was purchased and shipped from Turkey and a shed on their Seppeltsfield property was converted into a purpose built Roastery, overlooking the vines through salvaged French Doors. Paul and Janelle set up shop at the local Saturday morning Barossa Farmers Market in 2010. Already a much loved tradition in their weekly flow, Paul and Janelle were thrilled to contribute to the Barossa food culture from the other side of the trestle along with their two small children Amilie and Lucy. Finishing up the Farmers Market to the end of 2016, the family continue to share their coffee with the region they love.
Seasonal single origin, specialty grade coffee is the focus for Barossa Coffee Roasters, echoing the boutique wine industry that surrounds them and their own patch of Shiraz that Paul plays with and bottles each vintage. The link of family grown spoke to Paul and Janelle through stories of coffee origin, and the heart and soul of where the beans are born sing their song through every roast.
A focus on People and Planet Friendly practices shape the business choices and by default the lifestyle of the Amos family; a philosophy that joyfully finds its way into every bean. "We choose to roast beans with 'Organic' or 'Fairtrade' certifications as well as beans that we term 'Relationship Coffees' where the Farmer's smile is as big as ours, traceable back to the very family and farm at source. We believe this integrity and transparency translates to your tastebuds as well as the conscious choice in your cup," says Janelle.
Living the slow life amongst the vines, 'little red' the roaster is at the heartbeat of every small batch of the fresh and lively roasted coffee beans. You'll find 'little red' proudly declaring the roast date on each and every bag of Barossa Coffee so you can know exactly how fresh they are. Paul and Janelle are all for enjoying them while they're still breathing flavour and life, within a month of roast date.
This unwavering ethos behind their brand and their beans is why you may find Barossa Coffee beans a little harder to find than some; but what better place than the Barossa to stand firm in your food philosophy and upgrade the expectations of your daily cup. "We often say we don't sell coffee, we sell pause buttons. Even amongst the growing busy-ness of life you still pause to give yourself a daily cup of coffee or two; why not make that experience even better!" says Paul.
Single Origin Coffee beans
Seasonal Blend
Organic Hot Chocolate Mix
The weeks fresh roast is available online at www.barossscoffee.com and in person from Nuriootpa Foodland and Tanunda Foodland, as well as selected retail partners throughout the Barossa and beyond. https://www.barossacoffee.com/stockists/

Just a brief little history: My DIL Melissa's 29 year old brother, Ronnie, from New York, was temporarily staying with Melissa here in town while recovering from a back disability. Last Friday he had to return to NY for a few days for a doctor's appointment and was to return on Monday. He used my son, Austin's, Blazer for the trip since Austin was not returning from San Antonio until last night (Wednesday). Melissa was becoming worried that he hadn't been in touch with her on Monday and finally received a phone call that he had been in a very serious accident and was in intensive care in a hospital outside of Binghampton, NY. The Blazer was totalled and towed to the junk yard. We live four hours from said hospital. Very early Tuesday morning Melissa brought the boys here and left for NY.
Also on Monday evening, my little Fergie boy became very sick with vomiting and diarhea and he only weighs 5 pounds to start with. He probably ate something bad outside ie: dead bird, dead fish, deer or goose poop are some of his favorites. So in addition to the very busy and demanding 3 and 4 year old boys, I was cleaning up Fergie's messes all day. Toward the end of the day he just stayed in his little bed and slept. I called the vet, but by evening the worst seemed to be over. The poor little thing can't weight any more than 4 pounds now.
Now on top of all this, I developed a headache like I had never had before. I don't know if it was from stress, sinus, or a migraine, but it felt like knives stabbing the right side of my head. My Bob is a great grandfather and a big help with the boys. He took them down to the lake and Logan loves to be thrown off the dock and swim his way back. Landen doesn't like the water and just enjoys standing on the dock and watching. But Bob had to go on some appointments in the afternoon and the boys were left with only me. I'm not quite as much fun as "Grandpa Bobby" and it takes me a while to settle them down. So with tears in my eyes I was busy and on my feet all day.
To put into perspective, though, I wasn't laying in intensive care in a hospital in New York.
I feel like I didn't sleep Tuesday night due to the killer headache, and of course the boys were up at about 7:00 am. It rained all day so we had an inside play day, which I had to remind them is a lot quieter and calmer than an outside play day. Fergie seemed much better, though, and I found some sinus pills that helped.
Melissa came back home by about 4:00 in the afternoon on Wednesday, picked up a pizza on her way here to pick up the boys which was a great answer to "what am I going to make for dinner?"
Shortly after she left with the boys to go home, Bob left for Pittsburgh to pick Austin up at the airport. I feel so bad for him in that he was so excited to get back home from San Antonio after 8 weeks of Air Force Recruiter training and he missed his family so much, but he had to come back to this terrible news and uphevel and no car.
Uncle Ronnie is out of intensive care and they say he can go home on Friday. My question that I'm afraid to ask right now is, home to where? He is single, has been living with his father in NY until recently staying at Melissa and Austin's, and is going to now require a lot of care and help. Is he coming back here for Melissa and Austin to take care of or is he going back to his father's? I don't feel like my thoughts and feelings are in the right place about this right now. Regardless, it's not my problem (directly) and it's not my decision and there's nothing I can do about it anyway. I'll just have to work on my thinking and deal. Maybe I need to take something stronger than sinus pills - what do you think?

time to work smarter not harder.
Register your interest for 2020 here.
Hands up if you're ready to turn your hobby into a fully fledged business ifor the new decade ahead of us?!
It's time to take things seriously, a brand new decade is around the corner, and a new chapter in life for you!
You've got two choices, sit back and hope it'll all work out OR sit up, roll your sleeves up and take ACTION to get your decorating/styling/creative business on the road to amazing things!

Don't worry, I won't mark your homework but I will be here for you when you have questions (I know you'll have plenty!).

You feel like the business is guiding you rather than you guiding the business.
You wish you understood what your accountant/graphics designer meant when they speak to you in their industry jargon.
Maybe you've been at it this for a while but your focus has been on the creative side of the business with less focus on the specifics of running the business smoothly behind the scenes. Or you've taken a tonne of courses and online workshops about running a business but don't understand the technical jargon because no one has been able to explain it to you in a way you understand. That's all about to change.
who am I, and why should you listen to me?
who am I, and why should you learn from me?

what others have said about the program
"In my business I believe in learning from the best and Emma definitely falls into that category. During our one hour call she answered some burning questions, gave me a few 'aha' moments and managed to help me avoid some costly mistakes. Highly recommend." – Amanda, Amanda Smythe Interiors
"I decided to join Emma's Business of Decorating Mentor Program and it was the best decision I could have made to start my interior styling business. Having Emma's knowledge and advice guiding me through the process was priceless and I can't thank her enough for helping me to realise my dream of starting something that brings me so much joy!" – Alison, Alison Jane Styling
your investment.
You could putter along on the same path you've trodden for years wishing you had the motivation to kick things into the next gear or you could join me for 4 weeks of kick ass content, fast paced motivation and solid advice to finally get you moving in the right direction for the last half of the year.

I am so proud of this program and the amazing value you'll find within (and I want you to feel PUMPED about joining!).
That's why I offer a 100% satisfaction guarantee. If, by the end of week one, you've realised that the program isn't for you, simply shoot me an email and I'll refund your money straight away. All I ask is that you send through your completed task sheets and homework for that week, so that I know you gave the content a go.
I truly believe in the power of this program to help you get the right clients coming in the door. These principles have helped me – not to mention hundreds of my clients – to take their businesses to the next level of growth.
And I'm confident they'll do the same for you.
a final word…
What would running a successful interior decorating business mean to you?
Everyone defines success in different forms… So have a think about what it really, truly looks like for you and how can you get to that point of success?
- Maybe it's having the freedom and autonomy to work for yourself at your own pace and fit having a family into that structure.
- Is it the opportunity to make a difference to other people's lives by transforming their homes into amazing spaces they fall in love with every time they walk in the door?
- Or perhaps it's having the chance to work with people you REALLY want to work with and hiring the right people around you to make it happen?
Whatever your version of success is, it is achievable and working for yourself can provide you with all of the things above and more.
Give yourself permission to step up and achieve your goals….

55% of working South Africans earn less than R10,000 (US$891) a month - 13% earn less than R4,000 (US$356).
In Sept 1994 your R10,000 was worth US$2,813, today it is worth only US$891, but economists are trying to convince us that we're making progress and that our living standards had improved.
This is like Zimbabwean economists bragging that half of their working population are now earning 10-million Zimbabwean Dollars per month.
The total value of salaries paid out in South Africa amounts to just R44.8 billion, which is the equivalent of US$4,347-billion.
What could the total salary package of all working South Africans buy with thier US$4.3-billion?
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control (CDC) have an annual budget of over $4 billion to purchase vaccines from drug companies.
Facebook bought WhatsApp for $19 billion. "Facebook (FB) said it will pay WhatsApp $4 billion in cash and $12 billion in stock. WhatsApp's founders and staff will be eligible for for another $3 billion in stock grants to be paid out if they remain employed by Facebook for four years."
All working South Africans combined could only buy the vaccines for the U.S. CDC and only give the cash deposit to buy Whatsapp.
If you wanted emigrate to the U.S. with R10-million in your back pocket, you would arrive in America with just US$890,718.
Liberals and economists call this "progress"

Without a doubt Zakk Wylde is known best for his unique style of hammering out mind blowing solos & riffs over the past decades with Heavy Metal legend Ozzy Osbourne; however there is much more to this "beer drinking, guitar playin' madman" then his work with Ozzy. Black Label Society has been pounding out album after album since its conception in 1998 & they are now heading out on a North American Tour this spring followed with a touring in Europe this summer.
Black Label Society is packed with talent, drive and absolute passion for the music they have created. Band members Zakk Wylde (guitars/vocals), Nick Catanese (rhythm guitar), John "JD" Deservio (bass) and Craig Nunenmacher (drums) have created some of the best rock/metal songs this music lover has heard in a long time. Songs such as 'Suicide Messiah' – which will make you bang your head from the moment it starts, 'Stillborn' – containing CLASSIC Zakk riffs, 'Fire it Up' – giving a rock/soul groove at the start and melting into a metal style while consistently maintaining the soul feel throughout the song are just a few examples of what this talented group of musicians bring to the table each night they rock their fan's world.
'Shot To hell' is the title of their most recent album and it truly is a must hear for ANY Rock & Roll fan who cannot get enough of Zakk's impeccable style of playing his axe. If you are missing and of Black label Society's albums in your music collection, then I'm afraid I have to inform you that your collection is quite incomplete.
Zakk Wylde took the time to talk with me about the upcoming tour, the songs, the music industry and what his fans can expect from them in 2009.
TFL: Thank you & hail to you for the starting of Black Label Society.
ZW: Thanks doll!
TFL: You have the song 'In This River' which is what most Zakk Wylde fans would not expect if they were to sit down and hear it. You hear the name Zakk Wylde and think OK he plays with Ozzy & on stage is a crazy guy. You hear the piano and actually have the opportunity to listen to how beautiful the song really is – were your fans taken aback by you showing that side of yourself?
ZW; Ah…well look it, with Ozzy I'm at home and everything and I love the mellow stuff. I love listening to Elton John as much as I love listening to Sabbath or Soundgarden. So I mean the whole thing is I love mellow stuff – The Eagles, all classic rock stuff you know I listen to Sarah Maclachlan she's awesome. I love the mellow stuff as much as anything I mean good music is good music know what I'm saying?
TFL: Exactly, it will speak for itself if it a good song, it does not have to be classified into a genre it will just grab a music fan.
ZW: Yeah – just because I love heavy stuff you know – there has always been mellow stuff flying around.
TFL: 'Shot to hell' has been out for awhile now & it's the album you are out promoting yah?
ZW: 'Shot to Hell' was the last one we're getting ready to do some dates right now, we'll head out and do a Black Label Society batch. We're going to go out and have a blast doing that, starts March 6th until about the middle of may. Then we will either go back into the studio then either finish Ozzy's record – we already have like 14-15 songs & then after that I think we are going to do some dates over in Europe for like the festivals. I've been spending most of the summers over here doing Ozzfest and everything like that. I think Ozzy is taking a break this year. People always ask me 'when are you coming over here (Europe)?' and I'm like well I'm on tour dates with Ozzy yada-yada-yada so in between that I gotta fit in Black Label.
TFL: When did you have your Holy Shit moment in yoru career where you sat back and went holy f**k I'm Ozzy's guitarist, I have my own instrument line – when did it hit you and go 'hey I made it!' ?
ZW: Well I don't think it's even that. The funny thing is when we are doing these in stores or what ever…I mean I love working anyways so it's like my wife will just go you're out on stage and this and that. First off when I go home, all I want to do is just be in the house I mean that IS my vacation. I'm never sleeping in my own bed anyways, I'm either sleeping on the floor, I'm sleeping on a bus or I'm in a hotel – most of the beds are not mine. When I have a month off from the road it's not even a month off, I'm getting ready to go into the studio or we're still working on coming out with merch stuff but at the same time if we do go on a vacation…my niece got married out in Turks Cacaos down there in the Bermuda Triangle somewhere I mean the whole thing is just like – I brought my guitar, I'm getting ready for the tour and I'm calling JD up and we're talking about the set list or some shit. I'm NOT a beach guy first off & second off I don't go surfing so I mean it's just like I don't like laying out in the sand. I don't get tanned I get burnt like a f**king lobster I'm this pasty Dutch/Irish so you know I don't want to be hanging out there you know. I'd rather be working so I mean if I'm just sitting around I feel like a f**k, if I'm watching TV I put a guitar in my hands and just go over scales and shit like that. I'd rather be f**king working otherwise I fell like I'm not getting anything done. After the gigs obviously I like going to the pub and chilling with people and solving the problems of the world and just getting the f**k away from music for like 2 minutes, but to me that's just relaxing & f**king chilling and having nothing to do with music. After sitting out on a damn f**king beach for a f**king week just f**king blows and I want to get back to work.
TFL: (laughing) You sound just like me – I can't stand just sitting still. I either have to be writing or working on the next interview…I can't sit down and surf through the channels – it's just mind numbing.
ZW: Mind you I enjoy watching Seinfeld and f**king watching Comedy Central and shit like that, watching ESPN or watching the game. I mean at the same time me and Barbara watch a lot of Seinfeld late night at like 10 to 11 at night when the kids are like sleeping or whatever you know then after that it's f**king back to bed and then I'm back up again at 4:00 in the f**king morning know what I mean
TFL: Yeah because your mind is racing again.
ZW: Well not only that but that's when the f**king kids get rolling (laughing)
TFL: (laughing) well mine are all teenagers so I don't have to deal with that anymore.
ZW: Even the little guy he's 6 so he's gets started at like 4 or 4:30 in the f**king morning.
TFL: Children's chewable morphine Zakk…(Laughing)
ZW: Yes! Exactly!
TFL: It will save your life!
ZW: But it never ends…
TFL: With Black Label Society you basically released your first album in 1998 & you've done an album or something consecutively every year – is that something that is difficult for you or do you just have so much flowing through your mind that it just comes naturally?
ZW: I do all of my writing as soon as I get into the studio, I don't like write at the house and do f**king demos – there is no such thing as f**king demos. You go in, you write and get inspired, you get in on the board and it's the end of the f**king song. We may go let's make this part shorter or what ever but the songs write themselves. As soon as we get into the studio it's write the f**king song! I don't know how bands take a year to make a f**king album, it's like are you for f**king real – we're talking about 10 songs here man, 10-12 songs and you're recording for a f**king year? I mean like Axel with that 'Chinese Democracy' coming out…13 f**king years – like dude! I mean it would have been better off the original band staying together or if you're going to come out with anything – just put a f**king album out and call it f**king what ever you want to call it – the Axel Rose band or whatever. Ozzy is not with Sabbath anymore, it's the Ozzy Osbourne band know what I mean? You know just put it out and if it doesn't explode it's not under the GNR monacher know what I'm saying? But at least you are out there & people especially nowadays forget quick.
TFL: YES! Very quickly!
ZW: Well without a doubt! Everybody today nowadays J***us C***st even my kids. My daughter, she's 16 now, but when she was like 13 and all of these bands were coming out like Fallout Boy and Green Day you know all the punk rock shit. I mean these bands would get about 15 minutes of fame – you're talking about like 18 seconds you know what I mean where it's like holy shit! I'd be like 'you like that band My Chemical Romance?' and she'd be like – no they suck I don't like them anymore…and I'd be like WHAT? She would be just ga-ga about them 6 months ago and I get Nah – I've moved on! It's just f**king crazy! Bands back when I was listening – you would go to hell and back with them you know what I mean?
TFL: Yeah I know what you mean Zakk – but I also think it's the generation itself really – they're pretty flip-floppy on most topics…not just music.
ZW: Oh I know! Without a doubt – I mean with the computer now and everything. Let's be real – kids don't really need to go to a school anymore aside of the social thing or social skills. If you wanted to find out who the 5th President of the United States was, where he was born, who the Vice President was, all you have to do is slap it into your computer! You can find out any information you want to on a computer.
TFL: Any new bands out there where you like what you hear?
ZW: Well yeah I mean obviously, I just always laugh – we were just talking about this the other day. I liked Soundgarden and they broke up, then you had Audioslave then all of a sudden they break up, Guns N Roses – forget about it I mean that's done, then all of a sudden you go at least Slash has Velvet Revolver – then now they break up I'm like what the f**k man! (laughing) Any bands you actually like you might as well not bother liking them because they'll be broken up after 1 or 2 f**king records know what I mean? I can only listen to my Zeppelin and Sabbath albums a f**king 120 trillion times before I'm like 'is there any bands that are in this genre of f**king music that are good at it that I can listen to?' and it's like Nah they're broke up (laughing) You know the younger bands are f**king slamming too though – and it's amazing with that guitar game, people are finding out about these other f**king bands now just because of that f**king game which is awesome I mean I think it's f**king great!
TFL: Yeah – and it's fun! If you're musically declined – you actually feel like you're playing the song!
ZW: I know, it really is f**king crazy babe! I think it's funny as f**king hell!
TFL: It is! Trust me – my Son asked me for Guitar Hero for his birthday 2 years ago and I was like 'what – you want what?' What the hell is Guitar Hero? So I went and got it and watched him & I was like 'how the hell are you doing that?' Gimme that – I need to try that! (laughing)
ZW: (chuckling) I know! I think it's funny as f**king hell! I mean I was on the thing the other day and my son comes up to me the and he was like 'Hey dad – I can kick your ass on Guitar Hero!' I told him pick up the real f**king thing and we'll see who kicking who's ass! Know what I mean? (laughing)
TFL: Here's the thing – if some of these kids would put the same amount of time, energy & focus into the real thing…
ZW: Into really playing! Well I think that's what is going to happen eventually you know – kids are going to eventually think 'I'm going to try the real thing' which is great!
TFL: Well I can't wait to see ya! I've been waiting to see Black Label Society for quite some time 'Funeral Bell' is my all time favorite tune!
ZW: Where you at right now Trace?
TFL: Calgary
ZW: Oh you're in Calgary – so you'll be down at the show right?
TFL: I WILL be there on the 17th you betcha!
ZW: Alright doll!
TFL: I'll be the one blinding you with my camera in the media pit (laughing)
ZW: Sounds good doll! Well you know if I can see you backstage just come on back and say hi.
TFL: Will do Zakk – see you in a few weeks!
ZW: Thanks Trace! Take it easy sweetie.
Talking straight from the heart and never beating around the bush, Zakk Wylde will always give you his open and honest opinion regardless of the question. His sense of humor had me laughing so hard I had tears streaming down my face during the interview – he's hilarious! Finding many similar experiences with parenting & views on the industry – Zakk is by far one of the most memorable interviews I have conducted to date.
Watch for tour dates in your area & don't even think about skipping his show. Black label Society is 100% pure Rock & Roll…THANKS ZAKK & see you on the 17th…it's going to be one hell of a party!

The Mississippi gardener can get a few plants started in July, but the high temperatures make for challenging conditions for most seedlings. According to Weather.com, typical July temperatures range from 91 to 71 degrees F. Most of the fall planting happens in August, while spring plants continue to deliver bounty in June and July. Get started on fall planting in July with a few hardy varieties that need full sun to grow.
Pumpkins planted in Mississippi in July will be ready for display by Halloween, according to Mississippi State University. The University of Illinois suggests planting small Sugar or Winter Luxury pumpkins for eating. Jack O'Lantern, Connecticut Field, Ghost Rider and Howden Field make good decorating pumpkins. All pumpkins take 100 to 110 days to mature. Plant pumpkin seeds 1 inch deep and leave vining varieties at least 50 feet to trellis.
Better known as the blackeyed pea or southern pea, the cowpea can be planted in July gardens. Cowpeas perform well in hot temperatures and are relatively drought-tolerant. Gardeners can choose bush or vining varieties. Plant cowpea seeds no more than 1 1/2 inches deep. Cowpeas can be picked while fresh or left on the vine until they dry, then harvested.
Bush Beans
Bush beans come in many varieties, including wax bean, string bean and French bean. Gardeners can find bush bean varieties that are yellow, green or purple in color and with either round or flat pods. Cornell University notes that beans require even moisture and suggests watering 1 inch per week. Plant bean seeds 1 inch deep in rows, leaving 2 inches in between seeds.
Butter Beans
Butter beans or lima beans need to be planted in a warm soil, so they perform well when planted in July gardens in Mississippi. Gardeners can choose pole or bush varieties; Fort Valley State University notes that pole varieties of butter bean are more productive. Fort Valley State University recommends Jackson Wonder, Dixie Butterpea, Bridgeton, Kingston, Carolina Sieva and King of the Garden varieties. Plant butter beans no more than 1 inch deep and space seeds 3 to 4 inches apart. Butter beans need nitrogen to grow, and Fort Valley State University suggests applying 10 lbs. of 5-10-15 fertilizer per 1000 square feet of garden.

Recovery efforts are focused on resiliency and long-term sustainability.
Two days after Hurricane Maria, Puerto Rico was without power, running water and communication services.
As the second largest financial institution in Puerto Rico serving 650,000 customers, FirstBank took a leading role in the island's recovery efforts. Under its "One for All" program, the bank became the first financial institution to resume operations after the storm. Not only did they work around the clock to open their operations for clients, but they also supported employees by bringing supplies to branches, giving families temporary shelter, and ensuring that the well-being of employees throughout the process.
FirstBank's President and CEO, Aurelio Alemán, also led efforts for United for Puerto Rico, a non-profit organization dedicated to aid communities and individuals affected by the hurricane.
"Our main driving factor as a company has always been to make a positive impact in our local communities, and be recognized as a true partner to our clients and the communities we serve," said Aurelio Alemán. "Hurricane María united us. By facing such an immense challenge, we united to lift up our spirits, jumpstart the recovery efforts and work as a team to preserve Puerto Rico's future."
Recovery efforts after Hurricane Maria are just one example of FirstBank's long-term strategy to prioritize its surrounding communities. On its 70th anniversary and 25th anniversary listing at the New York Stock Exchange, FirstBank continues to bolster its value proposition through enhancements to its digital capabilities and innovation to support customers and financial growth.
This is a case study that FirstBank (NYSE: FBP) shared with us about their programs. (NYSE presents the information for informational purposes, but neither represents nor warrants the accuracy of the narrative, which relies solely on material provided by FirstBank).

Lazada is South-East Asia's number one online shopping mall with presence across Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam.
Lazada sells a wide range of products across 13 categories including health and beauty, home & living, fashion, mobiles & tablets, consumer electronics, home appliances and sports and outdoors, among others.
Lazada needed a retargeting strategy that would improve scale and efficiency of their sale days marketing efforts. The ultimate objective was to get a substantial uplift in sales and make the March 24-26 Sale extravaganza a success.
RevX prediction model and machine learning algorithms determine bid values based on campaign, inventory and user signals. This helps in optimizing the campaign to drive required scale and quality visits/transactions at minimal RTB inventory costs from SSPs. The efficiency of RevX's built-in model is further augmented by the account managers.
With the objective of increasing traffic and transactions, RevX account managers took the following approach to design Sale Days campaign strategy:
1. Targeted relevant audiences by identifying user level conversion trend for Lazada by firing SQL queries to RevX User Data Store to fetch information on 'time taken by users across funnels//pages to convert'
2. Identified 'sale day visitors' using data collected from last sale period and bid aggressively for them.
3. Designed ads for Sale Days with relevant messaging, dynamic offers, discounts and coupons
4. Optimized towards inventory sources and user win-ratios to achieve scale
RevX has forged a long-term relationship with Lazada and continues to be their preferred partner for remarketing

For TSA every project begins at ground zero, each flight or effect is a unique opportunity to customise something new and wonderful.We believe an effect should not be passed off as "that's how it's always been done" as nothing great has ever been created from a copy and paste. During the first point of contact we will work with you to decide how you want the effect to look, rather than just looking at it from the angle of what equipment you want to hire. Once we have established your desired look and feel of the effect, we can then decide the best and most cost effective way to achieve this. We will then set our target to seamlessly integrate this into your production whilst achieving the very best outcome.
At TSA safety is of the utmost importance. When our team arrive on site, they are focused on not only the rigging and the production, but the overall experience and the safety of all involved. The flight is not just about the performer, it has an effect on every other design element within the production. We will work closely with every department to ensure everybody understands what is involved and to ensure the whole effect is as smooth and seamless as possible. We will take the time to work with performers; whether they be experienced or novice, to enable each performer to feel comfortable and confident in the experience. We will assist you to design a routine that is within the ability of the performers, operators, venue and set. We take the time to work with all involved in a sequence, to ensure the performer is not just hanging like a set piece in the air, rather they appear to be flying gracefully and effortlessly. This involves teaching them techniques to control their movement while travelling through the air and to allow the operators and performers to work as one entity.
By ensuring they have the correct type and properly fitting harness for the required effect, the performer will feel as comfortable and safe as possible. This enables them to move confidently through the air as well as on the ground. During the run of the production our team will always be available to discuss the effects and answer any questions that may arise. We have comprehensive safety documentation required for the production to ensure compliance at all stages of the production. During longer running productions, we will schedule regular visits to inspect and maintain the equipment to ensure the quality and the safety of the systems are never compromised.
Whilst having our name associated with performer flying is relatively new in Australia, our team have been working with the biggest international performer flying companies for the last 25 years and we are drawing on over 60 years of their collective experience. Our team has worked on some of the largest theatre productions on the West End and Broadway, some of the biggest rock and pop tours internationally and on many large film, TV and opening ceremonies worldwide. We are one of the very few companies in the world where the equipment has been specifically designed and manufactured for the performer flying effects industry. Our equipment is not modified stage, industrial or climbing equipment simply to fit the part which is what other companies may offer. This enables our effects to not only operate and look the best, it also ensures that we are following the highest international standard of safety. The harnesses we create have been designed and refined over the years specifically for performer flying and the harness designs have been used on countless productions worldwide.
Be sure to contact us to see how we can provide the perfect effect for you next production.

A group of hackers, programmers, researchers and policy makers met on the premises of the Lower House of the Dutch Parliament on September 8, 2012 to try to hack the parliamentary database. They were there on invitation of the outgoing Speaker of the Lower House, Mrs Gerdi Verbeet. The reason for the get-together was that the parliamentary database, Parlis, will be available as open data from now on. Open data is data that is freely available and can be used by everyone. There is also no fee for open data and no copyright, it is easy to find, and it is provided in machine-readable format.
Mieke van Heesewijk and Josien Pieterse are the joint founders and directors of the non-profit foundation Netwerk Democratie [Dutch], a platform for democratic innovation. In cooperation with two other organizations, Hack de Overheid ("hack the government") and Open State, Netwerk Democratie organized the Apps for Democracy [Dutch] event. Mark Bastiaans, a researcher at the Dutch scientific research organization TNO, and a team of colleagues developed an application based on the parliamentary database. I talked with them about open data and how it helps to shape democracy in the twenty-first century.
The term hacking is used in this article in its original sense, which is "using innovation to create new applications for an existing system". The connotation of unauthorized penetration into systems, which later came be associated with the word, is not intended here.
As old as the Internet
Tessel: Is open data something new?
Mieke: Linking datasets is as old as the Internet, but the topic that's getting a lot of attention right now is open data and democracy. For a good while already, various programmers, universities, the TNO and activists have been advocating making public data open. The nice thing now is that we see growing support for open data in a broader circle, including government bodies and companies.
Josien: This is about public data. Data that is generated using public funds or data that concerns the public. The idea is that this data belongs to everybody because we have all contributed to collecting the data. This data becomes open when government bodies or companies put the data in an accessible location in a usable format. What's especially interesting is that this allows new combinations to be generated from the data streams, which leads to the creation of new knowledge and the discovery of new relationships.
Opening up the parliamentary database
Josien: Opening up Parlis, the parliamentary database, is a good example. It contains information of interest to citizens so they can keep track of the democratic process, such as the voting records of the parties, parliamentary motions and parliamentary questions. This information was already public, but it was released in PDF format. That's of little use to researchers, since it takes a lot of effort to access the information. Making the data available in machine readable form allows applications to be developed.
On invitation of Gerdi Verbeet, the former Speaker of the Lower House, Netwerk Democratie organized the Apps for Democracy event on September 8, 2012, in cooperation with other organizations. The event was held in the Parliament Building and consisted of a hackathon where programmers built applications to access the Parlis database. There were also workshops on open data.
Mieke: A hackathon right in the Parliament Building is a world first. It's really nice to see programmers sitting in the Lower House hacking away. It also shows the nerve of the Lower House in opening their doors to hackers. Hackers are actually treated very poorly in the Netherlands, and you can see this fear of hackers with some of the political parties in the Lower House. They seem to feel that you should have as little to do with them as possible. This despite the fact that ethical hackers can be of tremendous benefit for transparency and security, particularly in this phase of democracy. The hackathon in the Lower House marked a turning point.
Mark: Together with a team of TNO employees, we looked at ways to visualize data from Parlis. We built an application for this during the hackathon. With our tool, you can arrange the members of Parliament in the Lower House in various groups based on specific parameters. For example, you can sort them by experience or by the number of submitted and approved motions. That way you can see at a glance which member of the House has submitted the most motions.
We added a data source of our own, where you can see which words are mentioned frequently in the media in connection with a particular member of Parliament. That's the nice thing about open data – that you can combine information from different sources.
Tessel: What requirements does open data have to meet so that developers can use it?
Mark: That depends on the type of developer. Tim Berners-Lee, the inventor of the World Wide Web, devised a five-star scale for open data. A single star is awarded to data with properties that meet the minimum requirements for open data: unstructured data that is published under an open license. Five stars are awarded to data that is annotated in a manner that allows it to be linked semantically to other datasets. This is called "linked open data". Data with five stars is better for a developer than data with just one star.
In theory, developers can extract information from unstructured data by using automatic analysis methods, but that is rather complicated and not very exact. A scanned PDF document is an example of unstructured data. It is actually an image, so you have to use optical character recognition (OCR) to extract the individual letters. Then you have to use text analysis to transform the letters into structured text. People have been working on OCR for a long time, and open source programs for OCR are available, but for the average developer it is easier if you have data that is directly machine readable, such as an Excel worksheet or a CSV file.
For me as a developer, it is also important that the meaning of the data is clear and that the semantics and relationships in the data are well defined. For building our application, we received a dump of several tables in the Parlis database. It is a relational database, which means that a column in one table is related to a column in another table. It takes a while to find out what the relationships are and what they actually mean. Fortunately, documentation about the exact relationships was provided with the data, and the organization had also generated a data model, but it still took a lot of detective work. This means that data owners must also supply metadata with the actual data, as otherwise developers won't use it and will most likely find some other dataset.
Privacy and corrupted data
Tessel: Although many people have been advocating open data for a long time, government bodies were initially opposed to the idea. Now we've reached a turning point. Why is that?
Josien: It's naturally a difficult process. Lots of programmers say, "Hey, just open it up and see what happens". However, that's not how it works with the Lower House. They are very cautious about making things open.
Mieke: The Lower House is rightfully concerned about ensuring that only clean data is made open. That is the difficulty for institutions. Their position is that you can't put corrupted datasets online. They first want to get their internal information management in order, but even the best organizations can't do that.
Josien: Another reason is privacy. Letters are very interesting. Among other things, they let you see which organizations are doing lobbying, and that reveals power structures. However, this is only possible if it is clear who sent the letter, and that falls under privacy legislation. Consequently, this information is not available now, which is too bad because it is naturally very interesting information.
Mieke: Privacy and data corruption are often given as reasons, and they are legitimate concerns.
Changing circumstances
Mieke: The main reason that the idea finally got off the ground in the Netherlands is that the Ministry of Economic Affairs put their weight behind it. They realized that it's possible to make money with open data. Interesting new applications can be built by linking datasets with each other, and that is good for technological innovation and a knowledge-based economy. The parliamentary data is now hitching along for the ride.
You can see a change in attitude in the government. The government has less and less money available. That's why they need more and more help from citizens, entrepreneurs and all sorts of activists to get things done. They are looking for more collaboration with the social sector in order to achieve innovation. More and more government bodies are becoming aware of this.
Ten years ago, a lot of data that was collected with public funds was farmed out to companies. Now the government realizes that there are problems because this caused the information to cut off from people who actually have a right to it. An example of this is postal code data. When the Dutch post office was privatized to form what is now TNT, it was given the right to manage the postal codes as a sort of dowry. However, there are lots of applications on the Internet that work with postal codes. Developers had to pay license fees to TNT in order to use up-to-date postal code data. The question is: who owns that data? After ten years of lobbying by a group called "Free the Postal Code", in 2012 the postal codes were finally released as open data.
Josien: There was also another thing that happened: Gerdi Verbeet actually changed her position. She considers it important that citizens understand what happens in the political sector. At first her view was fairly traditional, but as a result of discussions with people who have open data high on their agenda, she came to realize that a transparent democracy also offers more opportunities for citizens to get involved in what the government does. She gradually came to see that making information open can play a part in this. That's why she started promoting it in the political world.
Tessel: Is the government on side now?
Mark: European legislation and regulations are being prepared to encourage governments to make data open. The details of the implementation are the only thing still being negotiated in Brussels. One thing is clear: things are heading in that direction top-down, but the material has not yet trickled down the chain. You see a lot of initiatives. An incredible number of hackers, enthusiasts and technically adept people are keen to get started. Things are moving at the top policy level and at the grass roots level, but we're still waiting for action at the intermediate level. This sort of change has to take place in the social realm, and that will take a bit longer than just banging a bit of code together and hacking a few systems.

Open Data: Hacking Democracy
May 17, 2013 | 08:11
A group of hackers, programmers, researchers and policy makers met on the premises of the Lower House of the Dutch Parliament on September 8, 2012 to try to hack the parliamentary database. They were there on invitation of the outgoing Speaker of the Lower House, Mrs Gerdi Verbeet. The reason for the get-together was that the parliamentary database, Parlis, will be available as open data from now on. Open data is data that is freely available and can be used by everyone. There is also no fee for...

Food: Pork Ramen in a miso base soup/ Consumed: Ramen Do, Eden Terrace, Auckland/ Date: April 14 2014.
Nothing warms me up and fills me up better than a good noodle soup. My favourite will always be a good bowl of Vietnamese Phở, but a big bowl of Ramen is not far behind.
Here is the sixth instalment of 'Food Photo Friday'. Last week my friend asked me whether I realised I'd posted four breakfast/brunch posts in a row. I guess I just love a good petite dejeuner! Buuuuuut, I do enjoy a good lunch and dinner also, so thought I'd spice it up this week.
This day in particular we were celebrating my brother's 13th birthday. He had invited a bunch of friend's out to lunch at Ramen Do, in Auckland's suburb of Eden Terrace, which is very close to Auckland's CBD.
This was the first time I'd been to Ramen Do, I usually go to Tanpopo in Auckland's CBD, but this place was just as delicious. I am a huge fan of Japanese foods, actually I'm a huge fan of many Asian foods, but Ramen is one of my faves.
Anyone have a favourite Japanese dish? Let me know, down in the comments!

Birth of a Cyber Baby – Freak out/Zen Out
Tomorrow I give birth to a giant cyber baby – Canada's First Personal Finance School. It's the biggest thing I've ever done. (pees pants a bit).
Who knows what tomorrow will bring? Right now, on the eve of the launch, I can still be optimistic. The programs aren't online yet and I can still believe that anything is possible and that this school will help more people than I've been able to reach before.
Once launched, I have to face reality. It's possible that I was right. It's also terrifyingly possible that I was wrong. Any entrepreneurs/budding entrepreneurs out there probably know all about this launch-fear.
But, if you don't believe that what you're doing is going to make waves or change your life in a HUGE way, why would you stay in Friday nights while all your friends are together, weekend after weekend? (#fomo) Why would you set alarms for 6am on Sunday mornings while everyone else is asleep? How could you end up crying, alone, at the office until 11pm a week before launch-day and only realize that you're NOT OK when the wonderful maintenance staff offers you a Werthers Original, and tells you "it's time to go home".
When you push this hard, you have to naively believe… you have to be so stupidly optimistic or else, you'll just give up.
I've cried almost every day over the past 6 months. Sometimes, from joy. Most times, sheer frustration and exhaustion.
So, I just want to sit and revel in this moment.
Everything is done. It's all out of my control. There is literally nothing for me to do but take a deep breath in and wait to see if the world believes in this school as much as I do.
This is a rare, magical moment in life. It's like being in free-fall. It's silent, but loud. It's peaceful, but manic. It's terrifying, but exhilarating.
I know I've packed the parachute the best I can. I've done all the work. I've made the leap and now there's nothing left to do as I fall but trust, and wait for the parachute to open at the right time.
I think this is why I became an entrepreneur. I'm addicted to the free-fall. This, to me, is living. I feel truly alive because of the entire spectrum of emotions that comes with building, planning, obsessing, and believing in something you've created from nothing. I am fully self-expressed and so f*cking appreciative for that.
I'm usually pretty light-hearted in my writing/videos, but I wanted to give this moment the earnestness it deserves. This is a big one for me and I wanted to write this post from a place of gratitude and to be a letter to my future self.
Dear Future Self,
You are about to launch the biggest project you've ever taken on. Good on ya.
If things don't pan out the way that you planned, that's okay – you are not a giant failure.
No matter what happens, you have so much to be proud of. Be proud of what you've created, it's amazing. Be proud that you are not afraid to work your ass off for something you believe in. You have put your WHOLE SELF into something that you will put out there for anyone in the world to judge. Being vulnerable like this is a really scary thing, you are brave. Lastly, celebrate the fact that you are facing your fear of failure like a boss. Please don't stop being stupidly optimistic…. Ever. It's your special skill in life. Remember, that no matter what happens, it's the journey that defines you in the end and this journey has been truly epic.
One love,
Present Self
Thank you for being one of my fierce supporters. I couldn't have done any of this without you. Stay tuned with me tomorrow as I continue to free-fall and we'll find out if the chute opens.

Leverage the budget – like a boss
THE 2015 BUDGET IS HERE… dun dun dunnnnn
So, like, what does that even mean and why should you care? The budget affects you in SO MANY WAYS but often people don't even know about it!
The 2015 Federal Budget outlines your tax rates, tax breaks, changes to your savings and how much money is going back into your wallet each year. It's a BFD.
Rob Carrick nailed it in his recent article by noting that this budget definitely favours seniors and that GenY/Millenials didn't get much attention.
But, here are some things in the budget that will affect GenY/Millenials/GenX
1) TFSA or Tax Free Savings Account Increased Contribution Limit
The TFSA is the bomb. It's an amazing savings account for everyone and for both long and short-term savings. The money that grows inside the TFSA is NOT taxed when you pull it out. I repeat – NOT TAXED. This is key. When you pull your money out of an RRSP account you must include it in that year's income and be taxed on it (iccccky).
NEW BUDGET THANG: The TFSA contribution limit has been raised from $5,500 to $10,000 effective immediately. Hella yes. More room for tax-free savings? YES PLEASE!
2) Benefits for Post-Secondary Students
The budget assists university students starting in 2016. Usually, to be eligible for Canada Student Loan Programs, it's dependent on what your parents are forking over/their incomes. i.e. if you're parents made a certain level, you wouldn't qualify. In addition, for every dollar YOU earned in school over $100 a week, that amount was deducted from your loans.
NEW BUDGET THANG: If the parental units are forking over for your education whether the total amount or in part, your parents aren't expected to pony up as much as before to make you eligible for the Canada Student Loans Program. Also, you can now earn money while a student without the amount you earn effectively becoming a drag factor on your student loan. WOOT!
3) Help for Parents with the UCCB and Children's Fitness Tax Credit
While you may be sleep-deprived, there is a small token of appreciation for your current condition in the budget. The UCCB or Universal Child Care Benefit has been increased from $100 per month up to $160 per month for each child in your family under the age of 6.
The UCCB is taxable money from the gov that parents get REGARDLESS OF THEIR INCOME.
NEW BUDGET THANG: Effective from the beginning of this year, the cheques are in the mail as of July 2015 – PARTY!! Also, the budget has doubled the children's fitness tax credit to $1,000 starting in 2015. Kid's activities are so friggen expensive, amirite? Now, at least you get back 15% up to $1000. Little Billy can go to swimming – hurray!
4) Tax Rate Decrease for Small Businesses
NEW BUDGET THANG: The tax rate for small businesses will be reduced from 11% to 9% in 2019. (Now why would you give someone a gift that is so far off in the future? Oh yeah – it's election time again). Note that this is only for CORPORATIONS – not sole-props or freelancers.
If you are curious about any of the four points above or of finding out in plain language how any of this applies to you, it may be time to book a financial planning sesh to flush out how you can leverage this 2015 budget like a boss.

As a young girl, I was asked to baby sit for my infant nephew while my sister and her husband went out for the evening.
The child had a slight cold. My sister's instructions were to give him a spoon full of cough medicine from a bottle she had placed on the kitchen counter.
When it was time to give him the medicine, I picked up the bottle, poured the liquid into a spoon and offered it to the baby; not bothering to turn on the light. The baby coughed and cried. He choked and spit out most of the medicine on his pajamas. I didn't feel it was an unusual response to bad tasting medicine. Turning on the kitchen light to assess the situation, I saw another bottle sitting on the counter.
Reading the label on the bottle I had used, it was suddenly clear the liquid I had given the baby was Tincture of Benzine Compound, a substance used in vaporizers for the easing of breathing problems. The cough medicine, which I had been instructed to give, was in a second bottle on the counter, which was not noticeable to me in the darkened kitchen.
I was devastated that this baby I loved so much could have been poisoned by my irresponsible action. (He was fine and suffered no ill effects from my carelessness.) (see note at bottom of article)
Because of that experience, I've adopted a discipline that has served me (and others) throughout my life. Never administer, nor take, medication without first checking the bottle's ingredients and directions, in the light.
This custom has served me well.
I've been thinking. When the habit of attending church becomes customary to us, we are ready to live, worship and praise. We are able to love and be loved, to listen and share His word within the congregation of Christ on Sunday morning. We are not burdened with a weekly decision.
This custom serves us well.
When we make a decision to be in a study group with other Christians, on Sunday morning or another time during the week, we place ourselves in a position to grow. We are in a position to incorporate the meaning of His Word into our lives.
It becomes our custom.
Jesus gave us the example by His own life. "He went to the synagogue, as was His custom"….Are your customs serving you well?
Are your customs serving Him well?
The answer may save your life.
Lord, teach us your ways. Shine your light on us. Help us to develop customs that will allow us to be used by you in your ministries..Amen
(Note: My "infant" nephew is now 67 years of age..enjoying retirement and a happy life.)
