Every twenty to thirty years, it seems that fashion tends to come full circle, with trends simply being recycled and updated. It could just be the vicious circle of history repeating itself, but it seems that even home design is doing the same thing. If you take a gander at the home furnishing offerings today, you'll find that many of the decorations and designs are "retro"', imitating the wave of the late 1970's through the 1980's. In case you weren't around for the original styles, or have chosen to block out most of than span of time from your memory, let's take a trip back and look at the blast from the past that is piled on store shelves today.
Tie-Dyed Clothes. Remember when bright, tie-dyed colors were all the rave? In the early eighties, everything was a starburst of six and seven different colors that didn't really match and could make your eyes water with the brightness of the design. Home furnishings have begun to incorporate this design again, with wall hangings of tie-dyed starbursts, throw rugs in the pattern, bedspreads full of tie-dyed spots, and even some couches artfully designed in such a manner. If you like the bright, anything goes style, this may be for you! Psychedelic. Okay, so in the sixties and seventies, there were reasons for glow in the dark, psychedelic paint and black lights, though these excuses were usually less than savory and not entirely legal.
Today, though, the bright T-shirts and posters have returned, with many individuals covering walls with glow in the dark designs and even painting whole walls in psychedelic paint, installing black lights in their recreation rooms or game rooms for entertainment purposes. This retro design option, coupled with disco lights that are more reminiscent of the late seventies, can really take you back to "the day"', especially if you put in the right music! Lava Lamps, Most lamps are made to assist with lighting a room and giving you something to read by. On the other hand, in retro times, the lava lamp was more about putting on a show when it was dark in the room.
Lava lamps have begun to grace the shelves of not only specialty and gag gift stores but also typical home decor departments in other stores, including superstores and department stores. Add to this the fact that the "lightning ball"' has also made a comeback from its loss of popularity in the mid-80s, and you've just jumped back in time. Shag Carpets and Bean Bags.
Rather than sitting on real furniture, designers are now suggesting a return to the basics. In the seventies, everyone had thick, shag carpeting, and now it's become popular again (as opposed to Berber, the thinnest possible carpet around), only this time it's not in mixed blue and green colors (thank goodness!). And, with the modification of the original bean bag chair that was so popular in the 80s to seat more than one comfortably on plush material or even leather rather than sticky vinyl, you can have your whole home outfitted retro style!.

President, Islamabad Chamber of Commerce and Industry (ICCI), Sardar Yasir Ilyas Khan heading a delegation visited Turbat, Baluchistan to explore the business and investment opportunities for its members in the Special Economic Zone (SEZ) that has been planned for the area.
The delegation was representing various sectors including real estate and construction, IT, pharmaceuticals, steel, solar energy, edible oil, marble, granite and flour milling, said a press release issued here.
Turbat is a huge area in which a new SEZ had been planned that offers lucrative incentives for investment.
During its visit, the ICCI delegation met with Naseer Khan Kashani, Chairman, Gwadar Port Authority, Maj. Gen Ahmad Bilal, Inspector General Frontier Corps (North) and other relevant authorities to discuss possibilities of business and investment for private sector in Turbat and Gwadar.
The delegation was informed that the District Administration of Kech and the private sector were launching a SEZ, located on the crossroads of CPEC and Economic Cooperation Organization (ECO).
The Government of Pakistan has recently announced opening of new crossing sites at Pakistan Iran Border to increase bilateral border trade, which would supplement the efforts to generate socio-economic activities in Southern Baluchistan by establishing processing, packaging and manufacturing units.
The said Special Economic Zone was comprised of Energy Park, Minerals and Materials Park, Metals Park, food Park and Technology Park.
The SEZ was likely to be functional in the next six months which would open new avenues of prosperity and development in the area.
Speaking on the occasion, Sardar Yasir Ilyas Khan, President, ICCI thanked Chairman Gwadar Port Authority and Maj. Gen Ahmad Bilal, IGFC (North) for providing a comprehensive briefing to the ICCI delegation about investment opportunities in SEZs in Balochistan.
He said in terms of area, Balochistan was the largest province of Pakistan with a lot of natural resources, so it should be given more focus for business and investment promotion to harness its natural resources for the better economic development of the country and for uplift of living standards of its poor people.
He said currently most of the products including dairy items were coming from Iran to Turbat and other areas of Balochistan, therefore, the Pakistani business community had a huge opportunity to supply local products to the people of these areas at competitive prices.
He emphasized that the government should provide more incentives and security to the business community for JVs and investment in SEZs of Baluchistan to help the province achieve more progress and prosperity and play a far more effective role in the development of the national economy.
He assured that ICCI would play a role to highlight the investment opportunities available in SEZs in Baluchistan to attract maximum investment in them.

Pacific island states have combined custodianship over some of the richest and most extensive Exclusive Economic Zones (EEZs) in the world, totalling 12 million square miles of ocean. The ocean floors of these EEZs are the likely source of minerals essential to the gradual global transition to clean energy. Deep sea mining (DSM), a frontier industry, may become a reality for some Pacific island states. DSM can be characterised as involving "a range of practices including the exploration, extraction, transportation, and processing of minerals retrieved from the ocean floor and transiting through the water column to the surface".
The impacts of DSM on national and collective governance and diplomacy are explored in a Regional Outlook paper released by the Griffith Pacific Hub today.
With these vast EEZs, Pacific island states are already demonstrating the ability to leverage agendas on matters of ocean governance. For instance, in early September 2022, Nauru sponsored the Nauru Ocean Resources Inc., (NORI), a subsidiary of Canadian-owned The Metals Company to undertake exploration, with a possible exploitation licence to be granted in 2023, if approved by the International Seabed Authority (ISA). On the flip side, national interest for control over sovereign decisions can frustrate any collective commitments to regional agendas such as sustainable ocean management. There are two areas where regulatory mechanisms will apply in any foreseeable DSM project. Firstly, in the Area, or sea beds of oceans designated as international waters. Regulatory mandate of the Area is exercised by the ISA. Secondly, on the sea beds of territorial waters of the domestic Exclusive Economic Zones (EEZs) of states, where national legislation and regulations are applicable.
Although there are many uncertainties about the likely impact of DSM on the ocean environment, some Pacific island states have already started sponsoring exploration and mining licenses to contractors for DSM projects. Pacific island states such as Nauru, Tonga, Kiribati and Cook Islands are some of the first state sponsors for exploration permits to the Clarion-Clipperton Fracture Zone (CCFZ), a highly lucrative Area where seabed mineral wealth has been surveyed. The CCFZ is situated in the central Pacific Ocean, east of Kiribati.
DSM has the likelihood of complicating regional commitments by Pacific island leaders to ocean sustainability. The diplomatic process of reconciling national interests with regional commitments will therefore be at the heart of the DSM issue in the region. Regardless of the uncertainties, the last decade has seen preparation towards a whole range of domestic legislation and policy frameworks for Pacific states.
From 2011 to 2016, the Secretariat of the Pacific Community's (SPC) Applied Geoscience and Technology Division implemented the Deep Sea Minerals Project. The project was a joint initiative between the SPC and the European Union, with the stated objective to provide "technical advice and assistance to enable the 15 member countries to make informed decisions about deep sea mining within their national jurisdictions". In the Pacific Forum Leaders' Meeting in Rarotonga in August 2012, the Regional Legislative and Regulatory Framework (RLRF) was launched and endorsed by all 15 participating member states from the Pacific Islands Forum. Described as a "world first", the RLRF guides "countries to develop the national law and policy frameworks needed to improve the management of their marine mineral resources".
Through the Deep Sea Minerals Project Cook Islands, Federated States of Micronesia, Fiji, Niue, Republic of Marshall Islands, Tuvalu and Tonga were able to review existing legislation and policies or enact legislation to undertake DSM.
Understandably, the preparatory work towards DSM has exclusively been directed at the bureaucratic and legislative echelons of decision-making for countries in the Pacific. The unintended consequence is that it may have been at the expense of holistic domestic consultations within and across all island communities. Because of the top-down nature of DSM planning, there has not been any thorough consultative process to assess the receptiveness of Pacific islanders to DSM. The whole premise of regional frameworks such as the 2050 Strategy for the Blue Pacific Continent has been about the peoples of the Pacific and their aspirations. DSM has proven a controversial subject matter because it seems to have bypassed the engagement of informed Pacific islanders. The credibility and sense of ownership of regional frameworks in the eyes of Pacific islanders must be given effect by the leaders who sign up to these frameworks.
A possible middle-ground approach in the diplomatic process in the region is the 10-year moratorium. Pacific island states can utilise the moratorium period to address regional concerns, domestic capacity, and renewed consultations, as well as promote ocean scientific research. The moratorium can also allow breathing space to rework a collective framework for a resource benefit/cost-sharing arrangement. Hon. Ralph Regenvanu (currently the Minister for Climate Change in Vanuatu) suggested "a regional approach to deep sea mining, a regional governance mechanism, regional regulations". Pacific island states cannot act single-handedly on DSM. A regional coalition of sponsoring States can collectively act and use their power in numbers to deal with contractors and other DSM players.

Hamilton County and Loveland, Ohio – In the 90s Ohio Citizen worked with the Sierra Club, Communities United for Action (CUFA) and others to press Hamilton County to address the combined sewer overflow problem that's polluted our rivers and streams and backed up sewage into people's basements for literally generations.
Melissa English the Deputy Director of Ohio Citizen Action says, "Their failure to do so back then is just one of the reasons our sewer bills are so high today. It's past time to demand action and relief for the county's low-income, elderly and Black and Brown ratepayers, who bear a disproportionate share of the burden.
English hopes you will join her on Thursday, June 17 at 4 PM at the County Building at 138 E. Court St. to help launch the Fair Sewer Rates Coalition.
English encourages people to bring an umbrella – even if it's not raining. They want to demonstrate that we're drowning in stormwater and it's only going to get worse with climate change.
The Washington Post recently reported that "Storm-water systems are the soft underbelly of American infrastructure." Read this article to find out how they're increasingly vulnerable as climate change drives "rain bombs" that dump inches of water on cities in hours, overwhelming pipes and pumps.
Register, so they know how many folks to expect.

Intuitive Example of a -value:
Imagine that you have a coin that you suspect is biased towards a higher probability of flipping "heads" than "tails". (Your null hypothesis is then that the coin is fair.) You flip the coin 100 times and get more heads than tails. The -value will not tell you if the coin is fair, but it will tell you the probability that you will get at least as many heads as if the coin were fair. That's it - nothing more.

- Irish Band The Script Rocks Manila for the Fourth time.
- This was part of the Asian leg of their Freedom Child Tour.
Back in 2015, they made a promise with their Filipino fans that they will be back. And they sure did kept their promise as the Irish pop rock band The Script rocks Manila for the fourth time last April 14, 2018 at the Mall of Asia Arena. The band stopped by the Philippines as part of the Asian leg of their Freedom Child Tour.
The Irish band, led by vocalist and keyboardist Danny O'Donoghue with lead guitarist Mark Sheehan, and drummer Glen Power, was formed back in 2007 in Dublin, Ireland. The band's second single, "The Man Who Can't Be Moved", which was released on 15 September 2008, became one of their most successful hits and even became certified platinum in the United States, with over a million sales. This was followed by another hit single "Breakeven", which was certified Platinum in the United Kingdon and Multi-Platinum in the U.S (with more than 2 Million certified sales). "Hall Of Fame", the lead single from their album #3, was a worldwide #1 single with over 5 million sales, 133 million YouTube views, and over 100 million Spotify plays.
Other hit singles from the band include "For the First Time", "Nothing" and "Superheroes", with their next three albums, Science & Faith (2010), #3 (2012) and No Sound Without Silence (2014) all topping the album charts in Ireland and the UK, while "Science & Faith" reaching number three in the US.
They have played in sold-out arena shows in Europe, North America, Asia and Australia including 2 shows at London's O2 arena. They also received multiple recognitions, including three Meteor Ireland Music Awards and two World Music Awards and have received two Brit Award nominations.
Although they went to a nearly year-long unannounced hiatus, their legions of fans welcomed them with open arms as they return with their latest album last year, entitled Freedom Child. This is also the name of their concert tour, which started last September 2017.
The Asian leg of the tour was presented by Midas Promotions, South East Asia's leading live music promoter. This is the fourth time that The Script visited the Philippines and serenaded their Filipino fans.
This also marks the second time that the band performed at the Mall of Asia Arena (their first two concerts here in the country were both held at the Smart Araneta Coliseum).
Fans have been clamoring for the band since they're got a big fan base here. So upon the announcement of the band's return to the country last October 2017, everyone has been eager to see them perform live here in Manila that tickets got sold-out just days after they've been released.
Ticket prices were at P12,000 (VIP Experience); P8,500 (VIP); P7,500 (Patron); P6,000 (Lower Box A); P4,000 (Lower Box B); P2,500 (Upper Box) and P1,000 (GA). The VIP Experience included a Top price seated ticket, Exclusive 2018 tour VIP gift, The Script 2018 tour VIP tote bag, a signed 2018 tour programme and a Commemorative VIP laminate & custom lanyard.
They opened the show with an impressive performance of their hit single "Superheroes" that set everyone inside the Arena on fire. The number was coupled with a fantastic display of dancing lights matching their music.
They immediately followed it with "Rock the World", the fourth song from their album Freedom Child. The whole Arena was filled with the color green, a reference to the band's Irish roots, as they sing "Paint The Town Green." Danny O'Donoghue showcased his amazing voice with a soulful acapella rendition of the first stanza of the song "The Man Who Can't Be Moved" before the band started playing the rest of the song. The Arena, which was packed by fans of all ages, roared when the band performed their other beloved hits, such as "Nothing", "If You Could See Me Now", "For the First Time" and "If You Ever Come Back".
Just like their concert back in 2015 when they had a bit of Pacquiao-Mayweather role-playing, the band took a break during one part of the show to try something weird and crazy: riding some Bamboo bicycles on stage and taking photos with them.
One of the best parts of every concert of The Script were the audience interactions, as Danny and the band are known for mingling with the audiences during their live performances and obviously, the crowd loves it when they do.
So it is no surprise that the whole crowd went wild when the group decided to leave the stage and joined the audiences in the Patron area of the Arena to sing the song "Never Seen Anything Quite Like You".
But it looks like Danny really enjoyed hanging out with the crowd because after the lights went out inside the whole Arena, Danny popped out of the Lower Box A area with the spotlight on, shooting himself on a Go Pro camera while singing "The Energy Never Dies" as lucky fans got to touch and hug him, with others snatching some selfies.
The band also sang other songs from their new album like "Wonders", "Arms Open", "No Man Is An Island", and "Rain". But when the group abruptly ended the show and bid goodbye to the audiences, the whole Arena clamored for the band for more.
So Danny and the crew went back on stage to perform some more of their hit singles, "No Good in Goodbye" and "Breakeven". One of the highlights of the night was when the Arena was filled with a galaxy of lights as the audiences raise their phones with their flashlights on to sing along with the band when they finished the show with an emotional performance of their hit single "Hall of Fame".
"The only way we can thank you is to keep coming back again and again," says Danny as they bid their final goodbyes to the audience.
Well, I guess every one of us will be looking forward to watch them perform live here in Manila again. It was indeed an unforgettable night for everyone.
The two-hour show of sights and sounds and the roller coaster of emotions were worth the two-year wait from their last visit here in Manila. I, for one, will always relive each moment of that night every time I hear their music.
With their awesome music and amazing talent on full display all throughout the night, The Script proved once again that they are worthy of the success that they have now and they have rightfully earned their position, standing in their Hall of Fame.

Some time back, the African Union announced its decision to reveal a new passport, that will be an official traveling document for all part conditions of the Union, beginning 2021. This is essential for the continent's African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA).
As indicated by officials, the identification activity is essential for The African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA's) prosperity as it will ease travel within the continent.
Despite being formally 'launched' in 2016, the move has been tormented by delays just as the Covid-19 pandemic which affected its planned turn out in 2020.
One of AU passport's key points is to exempt bearers from getting any visas for every one of the 55 states in Africa. Until now, only government leaders, diplomats, and AU officials have been issued with the passport.
As movement limitations across the continent are continuously being lifted, the probability is that the execution of the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) will be successful this year.
Read this too:
The Best And Worst Passports To Hold In 2023
The AfCFTA intends to unite 1.3 billion people in a $3.4 trillion economic alliance, making a solitary market for goods and services in addition to a customs union with free movement of both capital and business travellers.
The passport forms of the African Union's Agenda 2063 which imagines a ' coordinated landmass, politically joined together and dependent on the beliefs of Pan-Africanism and the vision of Africa's Renaissance'
The African passport is the main project of this plan and means to eliminate limitations on Africans capacity to travel, work and live within their own continent.
The initiative targets changing Africa's laws, which remain commonly prohibitive on the growth of people in spite of political responsibilities to cut down lines with the view to advancing the issuance of visas by member states to improve free movement of all African residents in every African nation.
The Free movement of people in Africa is required to convey a few key advantages for every single participating countries.
The AfCFTA makes Africa the biggest deregulation zone in the world with a populace of 1.2 billion people and an all out Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of more than US$3.4 trillion. It targets making a solitary continental market for products and services with free movement of business people and investments consequently promoting intra-continental trade.

HIGH COURT MOODLEY, J. 2ND MARCH, 1979 1978/HN/136 Flynote Civil procedure - Stay of execution - Judgment - Hearing of summons - Parallel actions - Whether possible. Civil procedure - Discretion to transfer case - Re-transfer - Setting aside judgment and granting leave to defend - Condition precedent - Bona fide application. Headnote The plaintiff issued a specially endorsed writ against the defendant claiming a balance of almost K500 in respect of goods sold and delivered to the defendant at his request. The defendant did not enter an appearance and the plaintiff signed judgment in default of appearance. The case was transferred from the High Court to the Luanshya subordinate p120 court for enforcement of the judgment. The defendant applied to the District Registrar to re-transfer the action to the High Court so that he could apply to set aside the judgment and be granted unconditional leave to defend the action. The District Registrar disallowed the summons and on appeal: Held: (i) An application for a stay of proceedings before the subordinate court is a condition precedent to the hearing of the summons by the District Registrar. (ii) A condition precedent to the setting aside of judgment and the granting of leave to defend is that the District Registrar in the exercise of his discretion grants an order issued for the transfer of the case from the subordinate court to the High Court. (iii) Such an application must be bona fide and satisfy the court that there is a defence on the merits. Legislation referred to: High Court Act, Cap. 50, s. 23 (2). Subordinate Court Rules, Cap. 45, O. 38, r. 4. For the defendant: L. Mwanawasa, Mwanawasa & Co. For the plaintiff: J.S. Adams, Adams & Adams. ____________________________________ Judgment MOODLEY, J.:This is an appeal from a decision of the learned District Registrar at Ndola who had on the 9th November, 1978, disallowed a summons to transfer the above action from the subordinate court, Luanshya, to the High Court, Ndola, and an application to set aside a judgment which the plaintiff had obtained in default of appearance on the 27th February, 1978, and further that the appellant be granted unconditional liberty to defend the action. Both Mr Mwanawasa for the appellant and Mr Adams for the respondent have made detailed submissions in chambers in support of their rival contentions. It would appear that on the 2nd September, 1977, the plaintiff issued a specially endorsed writ against the defendant claiming a balance of K495.91 in respect of the goods sold and delivered to the defendant at the defendant's request. The plaintiff says that the writ was served on the defendant personally and when the defendant had not entered an appearance on that writ the plaintiff signed judgment in default of appearance on the 27th of February, 1978, for the sum of K495.91 after credit had been given to the defendant for a sum of K200 which the defendant had paid against his debt. Thereafter the matter was transferred to the Subordinate Court in Luanshya for the purpose of enforcing the judgment of the High Court. It is understood that judgment summons had been issued against the defendant and the subordinate court thereupon made an order that he defendant discharge his debt by monthly instalments. It is in these circumstances that the defendant had applied to the learned District Registrar to re-transfer the action from the subordinate p121 court, Luanshya, to the High Court so as to enable the defendant to apply to set aside the judgment and be granted unconditional leave to defend the action. In the course of the argument before this court the question arose as to whether in the light of the fact that the proceedings had been considerably advanced before the subordinate court to the extent that an order had been made against the defendant, this court had jurisdiction to entertain the summons in the first place. It should be said that the affidavit in support of the summons before the District Registrar omitted to provide a detailed reference to the previous proceedings in the High Court. Neither have there been any details concerning the subordinate court proceedings. Further it would appear that there was no application for stay of proceedings before the subordinate court so as to permit the learned District Registrar to hear the summons for the transfer or re-transfer of the cause from the subordinate court to the High Court and for setting aside judgment in default of appearance. Mr Mwanawasa suggests that a stay of execution was not a condition precedent to the hearing of the summons by the District Registrar. If Mr Mwanawasa is correct then it would appear that if there was no stay of the subordinate court proceedings and the learned District Registrar had proceeded to hear the summons which he did, then there would be two parallel actions in this matter, one before the subordinate court and another before the District Registrar. I am quite satisfied that by virtue of s. 23 (2) the High Court has wide powers to transfer a cause from the subordinate court to the High Court. This subsection reads as follows: "Any cause or matter may, at any time or at any stage thereof, and either with or without the application of any of the parties thereto, be transferred by the Court or Judge from any Subordinate Court to any other Subordinate Court or to the Court, or from the Court to any Subordinate Court or from any Session or sitting of the Court to any other Session or sitting." Thus it is quite clear from this sub-section that the court has powers to transfer from the subordinate court to itself, any cause or matter at any time or any stage. It should be said that the power to order such transfer on the part of the High Court is discretional. However, what one must bear in mind here is that the District Registrar was being asked to re transfer the cause from the subordinate court since the cause in question had been previously transferred from the High Court to subordinate court for purposes of enforcing a judgment of the High Court. As I have said that without an order for a stay of proceedings before the subordinate court, it would mean that when the District Registrar was hearing the summons there was in fact another action pending before the subordinate court. This situation in my view is undesirable and can lead to many complications. The subordinate court has power to order a stay of proceedings in terms of O. 38, r. 4, of the Subordinate Courts Rules. Once an order for the stay has been granted by the subordinate court then it is up to the applicant to apply by way of summons to the High Court to transfer the proceedings from the subordinate court p122 to the High Court. However, the summons in the form it was filed for hearing before the District Registrar was in fact misconceived. The first summons should apply for an order for the transfer of the cause from the subordinate court to the High Court. The reason is that the power to order the transfer is discretional. Thus the District Registrar had to decide first whether the exercise of his discretion he would grant the application for an order for the transfer of the cause to the High Court from the subordinate court. If he granted the application then he could go on to hear the other summons for the setting aside of the judgment and for leave to defend the action. If he refused to grant an application for the transfer then that is the end of the matter unless, of course, the applicant appeals against his decision on the grounds that the refusal to grant the transfer was an injudicious exercise of his discretion. It is my view that the learned District Registrar should not have heard a summons which contained both an application for transfer and an application to set aside judgment and to grant leave to defend. The learned District Registrar in his ruling had disallowed the summons of the defendant when on the merits he found that the defendant had no defence to the action. He stated that he would be inclined to grant the summons for the transfer of the action provided there was a likelihood that the judgment would be set aside in the event of a transfer. In my view this was a proper direction on the part of the learned District Registrar. Then he dealt with the application to set aside judgment. It is quite clear that his decision to dismiss the summons to transfer the action was based on the fact that there was no defence open to the defendant even if he was given leave to defend. As I have already stated the matter was complicated by the fact that a single summons was issued in respect of two distinct and separate reliefs sought. I would like to add a further comment on the notice of appeal filed by the defendant in this mater. It would appear that the notice of appeal was directed to the refusal by the learned District Registrar to set aside judgment in default and to grant unconditional leave to defend the plaintiff's action. Nowhere in the notice or grounds of appeal does the defendant challenge the District Registrar's refusal of the application for the transfer of the action from the subordinate court to the High Court at Ndola. A condition precedent to the setting aside of judgment and the grant of leave to defend is that the learned District Registrar in the exercise of his discretion would have "granted the summons (if one was issued) for the transfer of the cause from the subordinate court to the High Court. One would have thought that at the very least the notice of appeal would have referred to the refusal of an order for transfer by the learned District Registrar. Before disposing of this matter, I would briefly refer to the merits of the application to set aside judgment and grant unconditional leave to defend. It is quite clear that it is open to the defendant in an action to apply to the High Court to set aside judgment in default of appearance and to be granted leave to defend the action. Any such application must p123 be bona fide. If the applicant satisfied the court that there was good reason for judgment to be set aside and leave given to defend, the court will no doubt grant the application. In obtaining leave to defend the defendant need no more than establish a triable issue namely, he should satisfy the court that he has a defence on the merits. In para. 4 of the defendant's affidavit dated the 11th October, 1978, he avers that up and until the service of the judgment summons requiring him to appear before the subordinate court, Luanshya, on 27th July, 1978, he was not aware of the institution of legal proceedings against him as no court documents were ever served on him before this incident. The plaintiff in his affidavit dated 28th October, 1978, avers that the specially endorsed writ in this cause was served by the bailiff on the defendant personally and on the 25th October, 1978, the bailiff had given sworn evidence before the magistrate of the First Class at Luanshya of the said service. This was not refuted by the defendant in any subsequent affidavit. Quite clearly it would appear that the defendant's contentions that he was not served with a specially endorsed writ in this case and that he was ignorant of the proceedings before the High Court were false. In view of this therefore, the defendant's bona fide is questioned. Apart from this falsification, a further point that the court would consider is, if the defendant had entered appearance to the writ in the High Court and the plaintiff had applied for summary judgment under O.13 of the High Court Rules since the debt was a liquidated amount, would the court on the basis of the reasons adduced by the defendant grant leave to defend? It is quite clear that if one peruses the affidavit of the plaintiff sufficient evidence was adduced to show that the defendant was indebted to the plaintiff in respect of the amount claimed. If one reads the three documents exhibited to the plaintiff's affidavit as a whole, no other inference or interpretation is possible. The defendant had knowledge of the debt; he had agreed to payment; he had in fact discharged part of that debt until he decided to inform his employers to stop payment of the balance of the instalments which the employers were deducting from his salary .Would the court find that a mere bald denial of the debt and an assertion that the defendant had only introduced various unidentified customers to the plaintiff amount to a bona fide defence on the merits, especially when one considers that the defendant was found by the subordinate court to have been served with the specially endorsed writ, a fact which he had denied in his affidavit. It is quite clear that in the face of that kind of evidence the High Court must of necessity find that the defendant had not been acting in good faith; that he had not raised a defence on the merits and therefore no triable issue had been disclosed. In those circumstances the court will certainly in my view grant the application for summary judgment in respect of the liquidated debt. Thus for the foregoing reasons the appeal against the decision of the learned District Registrar is dismissed with costs to the plaintiff, such costs to be taxed in default of agreement.

Last week I had a long and fun Skype talk with Dan Shapiro. Dan and I met at the last Maker Faire in New York and we really hit it off. Dan is an entrepreneur, inventor, designer, software designer and all around interesting guy. I wrote a little about Dan's new venture Glowforge here a few weeks ago. Below is an excerpt of our conversation. Enjoy.
MLN: So how are you doing, man? Congratulations on the Kickstarter campaign!
DS: Holy crap, thank you. I had no idea what we were stepping into last time we connected. It's been wild, absolutely wild. We had our "holy crap, I hope we get this far," we have our bottom number, then we had "in our wildest dreams, maybe we'd hit it" number, and then we had what we actually did which was like, five times that. [laughs]
MLN: Okay. So, let's start off. Just tell me briefly who you are and what it is that you do..
DS: So I went to school for engineering and put myself through school with a DJ business, which came about because my friend and I built laser shows in our dorm room and then people said you should bring those to a party, and then people said "while you're here, you should play some music." So I wound up with a DJ business. I had to work at a big company, Microsoft, for five years, and toiled in the salt mines at the software industry and worked on like, Windows 98 and Windows XP - you know the ones that didn't suck too badly. [laughs]
I co-founded a company, it was originally called Ontela; It's now called Photobucket. It's still cranking along. After four years, I left and started a company called Sparkbuy, which I sold to Google. I spent two years at Google and then invented the board game with my kids and thought, "Oh, I'll put this on Kickstarter just for fun over the summer while I work on this book" and then that blew up and totally surprised me.
MLN: The Glowforge. How did that come about? Was this your idea or was this something other people had started and you joined in? I feel like you're the man behind it, I feel. Or at least it's perceived that way in the public.
DS: The origin story is that I had created this game Robot Turtles and it was blowing up like crazy and a bunch of people said, "Hey could you do something special?" Like, "Could you create some sort of memorable addition of this that's really beautiful and lasting?" And a friend of mine said, "Yeah, I want that and I want the Turtles to be something that my son can like, keep in his pocket and walk around with all day." And I thought, this is awesome! And for years I've been wanting to want a 3-D printer. I didn't actually want a 3-D printer, but I wanted to want one. They seem like such a great idea. And I was like, I just need to find an excuse to need one so I can justify buying one.
MLN: Yeah.
DS: So this seemed like a good excuse. Everything was printing ugly plastic slowly. And, so I looked and I'm like, "this isn't what I want to make these things out of." So a friend of mine who worked at Boeing took me on sort of a verbal tour of the machine shop and he described each of the machines and what they could do. And I was trying to find one that would make these beautiful parts and when he got to the laser, I said "Oh, wait a minute. The Turtles have lasers. How perfect would it be if there was, like, a laser edition?" And you know, I'm partial to lasers. I did that in school, so I ordered this ridiculous $11,000 industrial carbon dioxide cutting laser direct from China. It took months to arrive. During the government shutdown, it got stuck in the port because the inspectors wouldn't let it through and when it showed up, 770 lbs shipping weight, a forklift installed it into my garage - I have a very patient wife - she actually helped me move it in, un-box it, kind of vent it out the window. It was just utterly ludicrous.
MLN: [laughs]
DS: So I get it up, and I start to try to get it to work and it takes me days. And the process of configuring it involves things like, Step 1: disable all the safety interlocks. Step 2: you know, put on all the safety equipment and fire the beam into a piece of masking tape. Move the knob a little bit, put on a new piece of masking tape and burn a new hole in the masking tape and see if the hole is to the right or the left of the first hole. And I'm just staring in shocked amazement that this is so ridiculous and horrible and the software was even worse. So it took me a month to get this machine to do anything useful or interesting. And, finally I got a program to start making the parts for this deluxe version of the game.
MLN: So with this laser, it was just pretty much like this giant machine that shot a laser beam out that did just cutting, pretty much, right?
DS: Cutting and engraving, yep. So, it could draw on the material and it could cut out the material. But it was just so horrible, right? It was designed for somebody to spend, like I did, spend a month getting it to do one thing really well and then it would do I over and over again. And the part where it actually printed things was like magic, but everything else was just terrible. And so, I wound up calling a couple of friends who both were accomplished entrepreneurs and one of them was a designer. And I said, "What could you do with this?" And the other was an electrical and mechanical engineer, and I said "Could you make this not suck?" [laughs]
MLN: [laughs]
DS: And so we spent a summer talking to all the people who use lasers and talking about what it could do and how it could work and brainstorming all the technologies, modern technologies that we could bring to bear, because there was nothing - like, if took this ancient Chinese beast, recently made, fresh off the assembly line, but you could send it back in time to 1995 and the only thing would look weird was the USB ports on the back. Like, nothing about it was particularly advanced. And so we started saying, "What if we took all the sensors you have in an iPhone and put them in the laser? What would happen?" What if, instead of having this like, crappy little onboard computer, you had a super computer running in Google's cloud controlling it? What if the software was, beautiful, delightful-to-use instead of this comically absurd, brutally translated nonsense? And came up with the core of the idea for what was ultimately going to become Glowforge, which has many features and capabilities that that Chinese machine doesn't, but it's fundamentally very similar in its construction, which is that you put in a piece of raw material and then it uses this laser beam to carve and engrave that material to create the final product.
MLN: Does the laser beam last forever? What kind of maintenance is required on that?
DS: Yeah, the tube can last about two years. It depends on how often you use it. But the rated life is typically two years. And it's a glass tube. It actually bears resemblance to a neon sign in terms of how it's made. It's hand-blown by master glass blowers, believe it or not, and it's a technology that probably most commonly used in dermatologist's office, when they do the laser, this that, hair removal and that sort of thing, but it's a really old technology. It's been in industrial use since the 80s.
... it encodes data into the disc by modifying the disc with the laser light. It's funny, the laser in the Glowforge is a 40 or 45 watt laser, which means it puts out as much heat as a 40 or 45 watt light bulb, but it packs all that heat into a spot that's eight- one-thousands of an inch across, and so that one spot is very warm. But, people are always surprised when they take the material out of the laser, and they're like, "Oh, it's not going to burn me. It's barely warm." It's like, yeah, it's not that there's that much power, it's just packed down into this one tiny little spot and that's where the magic happens.
MLN: It's interesting to me that you were able to take something in its crude form - and so it's something like $11,000 when you bought the Chinese laser just to experiment - and you were able to crunch it down to something that does so much more at a fraction of the price. And I think that's the economic advantage. Much like the personal computer revolution. It was just the same idea, putting more microprocessors onto a chip. Can you speak on that a little bit?
DS: !t comes from those revelations in consumer electric products. So, one way to think about it is that a 3-D printer in a Glowforge and many other devices are called CNC machines. It stands for computer numerically controlled, which basically just means that they're a robot. And in the 3d printer, the robot has a little tiny hot glue guns. That's how a Makerbot works. And it squirts the plastic into shapes; it builds it up layer by layer. Instead of building up layers of plastic, it's carving away and it's removing material.
MLN: It's a diminishing project. You know, in sculpture, there's two ways to do something. You're either adding something or taking something away.
DS: Yes, exactly right. It's subtractive instead of additive, is the technical term. And so, when you think about it from that angle, there's two ways you can build a robot. One is, you go buy a bunch of motor units and processor units and connector units and put them all together and then you go buy robot software from somebody and that's how you go build a really inexpensive robot.
The other way is you go in and you buy really inexpensive motors and wires and you create your circuits from scratch and everything else, and then you go find a factory that can mass produce them. That costs a lot more up front to figure out the production process, but what comes out is a little cheaper and better because all the parts are exactly what you need and you're not paying a mark-up for each component. Most of the lasers on the market are built out of these components that are really designed for other things in many cases, and so they're buying parts from third parties and wiring them together and they're not quite perfect for the job and then you have to pay mark-up and you have to get them all working together. Whereas, basically everything in the Glowforge is designed for it and that gives us all sorts of advantages.
I'll give you just one really crude example, which is the Chinese laser and most lasers have somewhere on the order of five or six different air systems, like different fans, although each air system can have multiple fans that move air to do different things. So, there's one fan on the electronics to keep it cool, there's one fan that blows air out of the enclosure, there's one fan that blows air out into the cut line, etc. So, there's all this redundancy. Because we designed it from scratch, we were able to use a much smaller number of fans and less air flow to accomplish the same task or better, because we know that the electronics are where the air comes in the machines. So, the air goes over those and then it goes over the cooling fins for the tubing go out the rear. And so we're able to use lower cost, it's quieter, it uses less power, it's more efficient, it's smaller, and get better results.
MLN: Let's talk about "angel investing". You may remember in the article I wrote, that I said this was a revolution that was going to start on Etsy. And, I really believe that. I live in New York surrounded by art people, and many are hardly tech people. Sometimes they cross over. The Maker movement seems to embody both of them. However, I see this as something that people are going to be able to use as art in the way we use Photoshop now or the way we use something like that that has become a standard.
DS: I hope so.
MLN: The disruption of manufacturing is quite interesting to me in an economic sense. Was this something that was built into the Glowforge originally, or is this a byproduct of how the Glowforge turned out?
DS: The way it came about was when I was working with Tony and Mark, my co-founders, and a big part of what Tony and I were doing during that time was trying to figure out who uses lasers today and what they use them for. So, we went to maker spaces and we talked to the folks who were using the 3-D printers, we talked to the folks who were using the hand tools, we talked to the folks who were using the lasers, and the most interesting thing to me was the comparison between the lasers and the Makerbots. I'm saying Makerbots - the 3-D printers. The people that were using the 3-D printers, the most common title that they described their job as was "engineer." They were disproportionately male and the thing was, almost always as a proof of concept or a prototype, or a conceptual. Then you go to the lasers. The most common title was some variation on "designer," the average user was more likely to be female than male, and they were almost exclusively making things that were going to be used. They were going to sell them or they were going to gift them. And so the thing that almost stopped us from creating the company and the product, Glowforge, was we just weren't interested in building a less expensive laser. We were interested in finding something that was going to change the way the world works. We weren't quite sure what that was going to be.
MLN: How do you know?
DS: There's been a running series of thoughts about like, "Where's my jet pack?" And, "Why aren't any start-ups working on jet packs? Why are they working on apps?"
MLN: [laughs] Right.
DS: So, I said this early on to my co-founders. We are really lucky and privileged in so many ways. And if we use that fortune and privilege to go build an on-demand hailing system for, you know, banana vendors, then we don't deserve it. We should be doing something with our good fortune and with the privilege we have been granted that changes the world in some meaningful way. That take some significant risks that not just anybody could do. And so, the thing that was exciting to us was seeing - and it wasn't obvious at first, but when we looked at this technology that seemed to hold so much promise, that saw that this was not something that was being used as a gimmick or as a one-off, as a sort of "oh, look what technology could do." People who have better things to do with their time that fight with technology were fighting with the technology because it was so valuable, because it actually let them create things more quickly and more beautifully and with more flexibility than they'd ever been able to before. So, yeah, it was baked right into the essence that this is a way that we can change things for people and change things for the world, not just create a nifty consumer product that people would go buy each other for Christmas.
MLN: You know what really impressed me? The doll house. The doll house was like, I thought to myself, "Wow, this isn't just an abstraction. This is the real thing."
DS: My wife actually turned to me one day after the kids had just asked me to make a sheriff badge. And she said, "Have you noticed that the kids have asked us to create things for them more than they're asking us to buy things for them?"
MLN: That's fantastic.
DS: And it just hit my like a load of bricks. Like, this is something they're going to take for granted. Of course, if you want something that doesn't exist in your world, you just make it. Why would you? You know, of course. That's such a very kid-centric view of the world, but it's one that we suppress over the years.
MLN: So, let's go back a little bit. I want you to tell me with as much hate in your voice, why you loathe the term "angel investor"? [laughs]
DS: [laughs]
MLN: I love this kind of shit.
DS: So, I think that the biggest problem with investors is the pedestal that people put them on. The fact that somebody has accrued some excess dollars in their lifetime, the fact that they once invested in a startup says very little about the merit or worth of the person and their ideas. And so it frustrated me when I was pitching that I didn't understand who these people were, or what they wanted or what was special about them because the secret answer was, there wasn't anything really special and there were people and they all wanted different things. And, it's a hobby; it's not a statement of self-worth or existence to invest in startups. And that people who do that as a hobby are no different are no different from people who do other hobbies for the most part.
MLN: Wow. They sound like art collectors, you know? The modern-day Medicis. [laughs]
DS: [laughs] And some like to think of themselves that way. But as somebody who does that, I think you do, and it's the thing you do because you happen to have been blessed with the resources to do it, and because you happen to be excited about it. But everybody does it for their own reasons. And it's an incredibly important part of the ecosystem. There are so many great opportunities that the world has because a few wealthy individuals stepped out and made it possible. It's like the difference between fathering a child and parenting a child.
MLN: That's a good analogy.
DS: And I just thought of that. [laughs]
MLN: [laughs]
DS: Thank you. And the latter is so much more important and difficult than the former. So, I've done both or all four depending on how you think about it [laughs] and it's great to invest in a company, it's great to see what comes of it, but your role as an investor is always going to be a small one. And so, when people use these divine terms like "angel investor" and escalate that activity to a pedestal, I think it tends to glorify something that is really quite straightforward and transactional. And I am eternally fortunate that I have had the ability in my life to be able to go make those kinds of investments and contribute, but if a company that I'm a part of becomes a success, it's sure not going to be because of my contributions as an investor anymore than a tiny bit around the margins.
MLN: "Angel" reeks of religious piety. [laughs]
DS: [laughs]
MLN: I see that could be problematic.
DS: And that term, altruism. I think that's my other problem with the term. It reeks of altruism, and while there is sometimes an altruistic motive in "angel investing", there's an altruistic motive in lots of jobs and I don't think angels are any greater altruists than people who are passionate about what they do in many other fields, and there are far more noble callings than financial investing, as my friends who work in the non-profit world can attest to. And I think that bugs me a little bit, too. It's great that people are excited about investing in start-ups. It's great that they can make money while simultaneously helping other people create things in the world, and you know, some start-ups are good and some are bad, but on the whole, I think that creation is better than not. But, I think there's a little bit of a pedestal there that, I hate to say this, but, we "angels" have put ourselves on that isn't deserved and the world would be better without.
MLN: Yeah, that's a very humanistic view. I agree with you, I mean, why not? It just makes sense. You seem to have this tremendous energy towards your projects and towards your life. What is it that inspires you and keeps you going? That's kind of something that I ask a lot of creative people because it's something that's continuously fascinating to me. Some people feel quite happy with their lives, so they feel very alive, some people do a lot of drugs. I don't know what motivates people. It's kind of interesting, if you care to comment on how you roll.
DS: There's this thing that happens with people's stuff, whether it's this funny thing I saw on the Internet, or this idea I came up with, or very rarely, this project that I created, where their faces kind of light up where the go, "Oh! That's really amazing!" And I am a total addict for that. There's nothing I love more than showing people something that gets them excited. This is my favorite part of parenting because my kids are the easiest audience for this in the world, the ages that they're at. In fact, when I created Robot Turtles, part of it was that, I want to take that "Ah, ha!" moment and put it in a box that I can pull out whenever I need it, whenever I'm feeling short on inspiration and I can share with other people that they can pull out and get their "Ah, ha!" moment. I love that. And my whole career is about trying to bring more of that to the world. About taking beautiful, wonderful, delightful, amazing things whether they be software, hardware, projects or ideas, or whatever - and saying, "Look at this!" and having people go "Wow! That's really neat!" That's meaningful and impactful to my life in some way, so that's every startup, that's every activity, that's every weekend outing with my family, that's what gets me going.

The investment may be a part of Ola's ongoing Series J funding round
Mirae Asset-Naver Asia Growth Investment fund was launched by Korea-based companies
The company has been looking to onboard new investors to reduce dependency on SoftBank
Ride hailing unicorn Ola is reportedly in talks to raise funding from Mirae Asset-Naver Asia Growth Investment, a fund which was jointly launched by Korea-based Mirae Financial Group and internet company Naver.
Citing sources, a report said that Ola has already signed a term sheet with the investment fund. This investment deal may be a part of the company's ongoing Series J funding round where it is expected to raise $1 Bn.
Though the financial details and the amount is yet to disclosed by the company, it has been reported that the company may raise the amount at a similar valuation of $5.5-$6 Bn (INR 39,141 – 42,700 Cr) at which it has earlier raised capital from other investors.
In order to prevent Japanese conglomerate SoftBank from purchasing more shares in the company, Ola has been looking to raise funding from other investors.
Ola founder Bhavish Agarwal has been trying to prevent SoftBank from increasing its current stake of 26% in Ola. In 2017, Ola amended its Articles of Association to include a clause that prevents SoftBank from buying more shares in Ola without the approval from the company's founders and board.
Ola's Series J Round
Ola's ongoing Series J round recently raised $15.6 Mn (INR 112 Cr) from US-based investors including Raymond S Cahnman, chairman of Transmarket Group; philanthropist Tina and Steven Price; J3T Ventures and Lyon Assets.
In January Ola had raised $74 Mn (INR 520 Cr) at $5.7 Bn valuation from its existing investor, a Hong Kong-and London-based hedge fund — Steadview Capital — through preference shares.
Later, Flipkart cofounder Sachin Bansal also invested $21.2 Mn (INR 149.9 Cr).
The Mirae Asset-Naver Asia Growth Investment was reportedly launched last year with an aim to focus on investing in Asia's growing consumer internet ventures.
Speculations are also rife that the company is also in the process of raising $1.9 Mn (INR 14 Cr) via allotting preference shares to China-based electric vehicle company Eternal Yield International.
The fundraise is important for the company at a time when the company is bullish on expanding its operation in international markets. In November 2018, the company had announced its foray in New Zealand. Currently, it offers ride hailing services at Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch. It had also launched its services in Perth, Australia in February 2018. Ola has also reportedly set up teams in Dhaka, Bangladesh and Colombo, Sri Lanka. Further, it also expanded its operation in Sydney.
In order to strengthen its footprint in the domestic market, Ola is also looking to diversify its offerings. Most recently, it was reported that the Bengaluru-based company had applied for the launch of NBFC as it plans to expand the short term credit it currently provides through Ola Credit/Postpaid.
As the company continues to raise funding to become profitable in FY19, Ola controlled its losses by 42% in the fiscal year which ended on March 31, 2018.

John Henry Historical Marker
Text-to-speech Audio
This marker commemorates the legend of John Henry, "the Steel-Drivin' Man" who was likely a formerly enslaved Virginian who was among the hundreds of incarcerated Black men who died while building railroad tunnels in Appalachia. The legend of John Henry suggests that he was renowned during his life for his speed as a steel-driver and willingly worked so fast in order to defeat a new machine that might take his job that he perished from exhaustion. Recent work by historian Scott Reynolds Nelson reveals the likelihood that Henry was a real person who was incarcerated in 1866 and forced to build the C&O railroad along with other incarcerated men. Nelson's book suggests that the real John Henry died in 1870 while building a railroad tunnel, a tragedy that played out hundreds of times as the pace of work led to workers inhaling small pieces of rock left in the air after an explosion.
If this is the case, the Ballad of John Henry can be understood as a carefully hidden message by workers, reminding each other as they sing a song that appears to valorize Henry's commitment to slow their pace and take breaks. The ballad is slower than most work songs and could be understood as a reminder that the pace of work the bosses preferred would lead a man to an early grave. In an era with limited protections for many workers and no protections for inmates, a song reminding workers to control the pace can be seen as a protest against the exploitive nature of the convict labor system. Henry used a hammer and steel drill to create holes for explosives in order to create railroad tunnels. This dangerous work was often reserved for Black convicts, hundreds of whom perished from inhaling the fragments of rock that filled the air when they blasted tunnels.
Front of the John Henry marker which displays an overview of the folklore and its impact on history.
Backstory and Context
Text-to-speech Audio
John Henry is believed to be a former slave who was arrested and placed in jail and forced to work as a steel driver for the railroad in the 1870s. Incarcerated African Americans were a leading source of labor in the dangerous work of building railroad tracks and tunnels through the mountainous regions of West Virginia, Pennsylvania, and Maryland.
According to legend, John Henry took it upon himself to race a crew working with the newly-invented steam hammer. Although the steam hammer was inefficient at this time, the legend suggests that workers like John Henry feared the loss of their jobs. Like all legends, it is unknown if this race actually took place or where it would have occurred and some argue that it happened at Big Bend in West Virginia or Lewis Tunnel, Virginia. Others suggest the race was held in Leeds, Alabama, at either the Coosa Mountain Tunnel or the Oak Mountain Tunnel of the Columbus and Western Railway. In likelihood, there was no race and the funeral song of African Americans that mentioned John Henry was not meant to praise the concept of working oneself to an early grave but rather a form of subtle protest.
The legend goes that John Henry was significantly faster than the steam hammer and all of the workers celebrated as he was victorious. However, due to exhaustion and stress, Henry collapsed to the ground with his hammer in his hand. The story of John Henry later became a folk tale that was popular among workers fearing the loss of their positions owing to mechanization.

Offering efficient delivery service is vital for business growth and customer satisfaction. Good delivery scheduling helps you stay organized and manage your orders and deliveries better.
The problem is that the scheduling process can come with significant challenges. There are many factors to consider when putting together your delivery schedule. This can cause complications and difficulties.
In this article, we'll discuss the process of scheduling deliveries. We will also share four tips that your organization can use to make scheduling easier.
Delivery scheduling is the process of planning your business' deliveries in advance.
To run smooth operations, you need to make sure that you have a coherent plan for your deliveries. It is somewhat similar to how social media automation tools are used to execute a content plan.
You can't just load up a delivery vehicle and head out without a plan and schedule in place. Skipping this step in your delivery process results in wasted time and money. It can also lead to risky driving from drivers trying to deliver on time, as well as late deliveries and dissatisfied customers.
A good delivery scheduling process factors in your supply chain operations and customer demand. By doing this, you can deal with issues quickly, preventing any delays. This helps improve the overall efficiency of your operations and it makes sure that your deliveries remain profitable. Effective delivery scheduling also plays a big role in customer satisfaction.
Delivery scheduling involves assigning orders to delivery routes and mapping out the sequence for each delivery. To do this, you must have clear inventory and order visibility. That way, you know all about your incoming and outgoing orders and you know the location of each order at all times. Delivery schedules work together with order and inventory management.
Next, you calculate the distance to each delivery destination and try to find the best route for your driver. The aim is to reduce the distance traveled between delivery drops by making sure your drivers take the smartest routes. Thus, the best route is the shortest, safest, and fastest one.
Achieving this requires route optimization. Optimized scheduling considers all constraints or challenges and addresses them. It also ensures that the delivery schedule makes the best use of available business resources.
The last step in your scheduling is the arranging of delivery stops into a single-driver trip. Assign the orders to suitable vehicles with account for the package size, weight, and other dimensions. You also have to allocate these trips to a suitable driver that you can trust to make good delivery.
This optimized scheduling process requires flexibility as routes and circumstances can change at the last minute. However, including a scheduling strategy in your delivery planning prepares you to respond better to unexpected challenges. It can result in efficient deliveries that improve your customer satisfaction and your bottom line.
When planning a delivery schedule, the more routes and drops you have, the more complicated it becomes. With this in mind, delivery planning becomes harder as your business expands. This is especially true if you schedule deliveries manually, as there will be more stops and orders to fit into the delivery schedule.
However, the process behind scheduling deliveries remains the same. It doesn't matter how many delivery orders you have, the planning process will still follow the same procedure. It doesn't matter if your delivery route has 4 drops or 40 drops. You will still need to calculate all the same constraints to optimize the route.
You can do this manually or you can use a digital delivery route planner. However, manual scheduling is a time- and resource-consuming process that leaves room for human error and delays. You would need specialist knowledge to adequately plan delivery routes manually. Even with tons of experience, you have to account for human error.
The best thing to do for your delivery scheduling is to invest in brilliant delivery software. The right route planning software does all the work for you. Plus, it can better adjust to larger scales of operation with no additional work. This makes scheduling deliveries at any scale a fast and easy process.
When managing your delivery schedule, there are a lot of moving parts that are difficult to stay on top of. Here are some of the main operational challenges involved in scheduling deliveries.
One of the biggest issues that businesses face with their delivery schedule is that they don't have a clear system in place. Instead of following strict processes, many organizations take the attitude of "we'll deliver it when we can". This approach can cause all kinds of problems.
Not having proper processes and systems in place can lead to various operational issues. It can delay deliveries or result in no-show deliveries. This has a major effect on customers and your brand reputation. Today, consumer demands around deliveries are at an all-time high. Having solid processes in place will help to keep up with consumer demands and stay customer-centric.
No matter how well-organized your delivery schedule is, issues can always come up. This includes things like cancellations, product recalls, or last-minute orders. In particular, if your business offers same-day delivery, then unexpected shifts become a common occurrence.
In situations like these, you must adjust your planned delivery schedules and routes. This can be a challenge for delivery managers who spend significant time and effort optimizing those delivery routes.
Unlike last-minute orders, some delays remain out of your control. Several unplanned delays can affect delivery time. This includes external factors like road closures, weather, serious traffic, or roadworks.
These conditions are more difficult to pre-empt and address than internal order changes. Delivery drivers need to adapt quickly to changes or delays, while still taking the most optimal route possible. This could involve revising an entire delivery schedule, which can be a stressful and time-consuming process. However, delivery software and route optimization features can update routes immediately.
The most important thing for any delivery operation is efficiency. Deliveries need to be as quick as possible, and they need to flow at a continuous pace. Delivery managers are always working against the clock, and deliveries must arrive at the scheduled time.
This means that you must coordinate every single step and process in the delivery schedule. Drivers need to pick up deliveries seamlessly and use the best route to get to their destinations. You also need to ensure that there are minimal to no delays between processes. This is one of the main reasons why optimized delivery scheduling is so important.
For many organizations that offer deliveries, it's not a simple process of dropping off orders. Often, they also have to plan for collections and reverse logistics. This includes things like collecting goods that the customer was not satisfied with or collecting packaging from existing customers to reuse.
This adds an additional element to the delivery schedule and requires you to manage collections and drop-offs. This adds another layer to your scheduling. Both customer interactions must be coordinated perfectly to fit into the driver's existing schedule. You also need to account for the storage of returned goods.
Scheduling deliveries may have its challenges, but this doesn't mean that there aren't ways to improve. Here are some of the best things that delivery managers can do to improve their delivery scheduling.
All delivery organizations need to use multi-stop route planners.
This is the most essential tip for efficient delivery scheduling because the software will take care of all the complicated processes for you. The software can automatically plan and schedule routes for you. Instead of sitting down and manually adding in each delivery stop, this will save time and effort.
Beyond the initial route scheduling, using software also allows you to remain flexible. If any last-minute delays or surprises arise, the software will be able to reschedule the route for you automatically. This means drivers always have updated delivery routes, and managers won't have to rush to respond by creating alternative routes at the last moment.
Route planning software will also help to improve communication. If you add or remove any new stops, the route will update automatically. The system keeps the delivery driver updated, and there is no need for phone calls and manual communication (which can also be a major challenge with delivery scheduling).
The software can plan and map out the delivery routes. You can also use it to optimize your routes. With the right route optimization tool, logistics managers can create efficient and effective delivery schedules.
These route optimization tools can assign the most suitable orders to the right vehicles, and plan out a delivery schedule that maximizes time. These schedules are automatically planned to ensure minimal driving between each stop. It takes various factors into account, such as the size and limitations of each vehicle, to plan out the best possible routes.
Optimizing routes like this saves loads of time and cuts down on unnecessary driving. This means your business can enjoy significant fuel savings, as well as fulfill customers' orders as quickly as possible.
Mobile-friendly solutions make sure that the driver can easily access the correct, optimized route at all times. By using a mobile-friendly route planning app, drivers can view the up-to-date route plan, and receive notifications of any changes in real-time.
This makes it significantly easier to communicate with drivers and adjust the route whenever necessary.
Staying up to date with the whereabouts of your vehicles is an important part of improving your delivery schedule. Delivery scheduling takes place before the trips, but it's still important to know where your vehicles are and to track their progress. This will help you adjust your routes, and understand how your scheduled routes perform. Tracking your vehicles also plays a big role in improving communications.
A well-planned delivery schedule will completely transform the way your business operates. Here are some of the primary advantages of scheduling deliveries.
Scheduled deliveries save logistics managers loads of time.
Scheduled deliveries ensure that your drivers aren't taking on more deliveries than they can manage.
Well-planned deliveries result in faster, more efficient deliveries.
Scheduled deliveries can reduce fuel costs.
Scheduled deliveries help improve customer satisfaction.
Well-planned deliveries make it easier to respond to last-minute changes and adjustments.
Delivery schedules can make it easier to scale your deliveries as your business grows.
Planning deliveries in advance helps you to offer accurate ETAs.
Scheduling deliveries efficiently will make a vast difference to your operations and bottom line. Scheduled deliveries allow you to deliver faster and eliminate any potential delays. This helps keep customers happy. It allows your business to handle a lot of deliveries efficiently, and it can help to boost the profitability of your business.
Delivery managers need to be using the right delivery scheduling tools if they want to stay on the ball. In today's world of high customer demands, getting this process right could be the secret to your business's success.

We all know that fishing minigames are the best optional side activity in this great hobby of ours, now that Skyrim's getting one, no other game has an excuse for leaving out the angling. (This is a joke – making games is hard and feature creep is a problem. I just like fishing minigames, okay?) Now Genshin Impact is getting in on the fishing with its 2.1 update.
You'll find a variety of fish types across Teyvat that you can use for meat, or exchange for rewards – including new fishing rods. As the devs explain in a blog, you'll also be able to place a new furnishing in your personal realm called the Pool of Sapphire Grace, which will let you raise special ornamental fish.
As with many new features for the game, Genshin Impact fishing already leaked ahead of launch, and you can follow that link for a more spoilery breakdown of what to expect, including a breakdown of the actual mechanics of the minigame.
The Genshin Impact 2.1 release date is set to land at the start of September. You can follow that link for a broader breakdown of what to expect from the update.
If you missed the 2.1 livestream, you can check it out above.
