"Digital retail" and "online transaction" have become popular terms in recent years, but what do they really mean?
A lot of auto retail terms have multiple or unclear meanings. "Electronic contracting" is one example.
Many companies say they are trailblazers in digital retail and even claim to support a completely online transaction. But the ambiguity around "digital retail" and an "online transaction" leads to even more murkiness in charting the industry's progress toward the two. How can companies truly have an "end-to-end" online transaction when some regulatory forms still require a wet signature?
2018 will likely include more advances in digital retail and the online transaction, but until we really know what those two terms mean, it's difficult to know where the industry stands.
Careful phrasing and more detail upfront would likely help the industry move forward. Especially before so many companies likely reveal their digital solutions at the National Automobile Dealers Association convention this March, it's time for standardized definitions.

Qultura projects
A Qultura project is any activity, event, series of meetings, discussions, talks, or community type activity which brings different people together within the Qultura community but are open to people within the wider community, i.e. not part of the Qultura community.
What constitutes a Qultura project?
A Qultura project is a local community project for people who become involved to be able to do all of the following:
- provide opportunities for people to develop empathy through community involvement and social interaction
- provide opportunities for anyone involved in the project to be able to go through a process of individuation (or continue such a process) through the development of creativity and discipline.
- provide opportunities for people to be able to find their own ways of negating trauma, e.g. traumatic social and personal experiences
- creates or generates new culture based on a heavy emphasis on participant created or generated content, i.e. it is heavily based on original content or comes out of direct personal experience or perspectives
Therefore any Qultura project needs to be somehow connected or relevant to our broad mission but generally each individual project will have its own specific mission or objective. A Qultura project can be something which is either virtual or take place offline, i.e. in real time, face to face, usually in community space. We have created some example projects as examples of projects being developed in the local community. Please also be aware that development of this website e.g. through a series of articles and shared content through our community blog or other content can also be a project.
What a Qultura project cannot involve
A Qultura project cannot involve any of the listed characteristics:
- it cannot promote or require all participants to believe in a preexisting concept or promote a belief system, ideology, or specific manner of lifestyle. Developing empathy requires an open mind which is free from attachment to concepts and ideologies.
- it cannot create further stigma or social conflict towards anyone in the community or wider community
- it cannot be based on, promote, or support any commercial or profit-making activity
- it cannot require money to change hands between members of the community or participants involved in the project
We accept that certain projects need or require resources, such as spatial resources (access to space) or material or financial resources. In such cases we suggest that someone seek recognition of support needs through reversal of participation and create an appeal (a type of project) in support of the original project.
Categories of projects
Generally projects fall into three broad categories based on the specific focus or emphasis of the individual project. These are:
- Creative projects
- Creative projects are projects which focus on individual creativity and the development of discipline, both of which are prerequisites for developing empathy between people. Creative projects can involve any type of creative activity, such as art, music, design, drama, theatre, photography, and so on which can either create workshops and teach aspects of such creative activities, discuss and exchange techniques, or generate creative output from participants involved in a project.
- Social projects
- Social projects are projects which focus on the use and development of empathy and connections between people in the community and can involve such things as talks, discussions, outings, social activities, shared interests, book clubs, libraries, human libraries, film discussion groups, community gardens, drop ins, and so on. Please note that our social media groups and Community Message Boards can be defined as a social project.
- Community support projects
- Community support projects are projects which focus on providing community support and create opportunities for people in the community (both our community and the wider community) to negate trauma and traumatic social and personal experiences. This can involve support groups, advice projects, drop ins, and specific interest groups such as disability, social issues such as unemployment, poverty, LGBT, and so on. Please note that while there are other such specific groups elsewhere these groups are connected to the wider Qultura community and are designed to resolve the social conflict that many marginalized people feel in that they need access to a specific focus group, but also feel that they need to belong to a wider community.
- Appeals also fall into this category but where appeals differ is that an appeal can only be created by someone who is recognized as a reverse participant by Qultura Core and they are published within their own section on this website. This is connected to the Support Qultura section of this website and give those who create appeals a specific webpage with a link where they can promote their appeal and seek support from outside the community, i.e. from other sources.
Dimensions of projects
In case you wondered where the matryoshka dolls in the above image fit in, Qultura projects can take on different dimensions (illustrated above) and exist on different levels, so that larger Qultura projects can contain smaller Qultura projects, just like a matryoshka doll. Above you see a basic example of a local community project, which serves a wider local community which contains a specific project which also involves a supporting project. But the same dimensions would apply, for example, if you were writing a series of blog articles, with a specific blog article and say a photo or video which supported a specific blog article. .
Roles and projects
Relative to your participation and involvement in a Qultura project, you can take on one of four different basic roles. Two of these roles involve becoming part of Qultura Core, which is the core of the Qultura community and network where the community becomes more of an organization. The relationship between the Qultura community and Qultura Core is free from boundaries because when you sign up to the Qultura community you also become part of the Qultura Core network. If you don't sign up to the Qultura community then you are part of the community without being part of the Qultura Core network. However the roles are:
- Participant
- This is the plain vanilla role where you are part of the community and participate in the community and projects as and when you feel like it. You sign up to the community to become part of the Qultura Core network but you participate in the community without being attached or involved on any deeper level with anything. This is considered entry level to the Qultura community.
- Volunteering
- Volunteering with Qultura is when you create or help develop a project and through this help to develop the community. This is something you can offer to do at any time without needing to "apply" to become a volunteer, because you're already part of the Qultura Core network or respond to an email if we send you an email stating that we need volunteers to help us develop a project.
- Activism
- Qultura activism is not political activism, but is about getting people from outside the Qultura community interested in and involved in the Qultura community. This can involve anything from writing blog entries and creating original content to help develop our website, social media groups or sharing creative output and helping to develop the community by meeting different people. There's no set way of doing this, but we have found that sharing and developing empathy with different people is generally the best way of going about it.
- Reverse participation
- Reverse participation is a means of getting and accessing community support through the negation of trauma and traumatic social and personal experiences and is designed for members of the community who feel the need for healing and recovery from various issues as well as support to overcome various barriers - practical, financial, social, emotional, psychological - which make their lives much more of a struggle or more difficult. Reverse participation can also be used for those who are seeking support to develop a Qultura project.
Further information
You can find more information about the different ways you can get involved and more details on specific roles within the community, including reverse participation, in the Community section or the Qultura Core section.

The Women, Peace and Security Agenda in Lebanon: A Key Tool for Supporting Recovery from Economic Crisis and the COVID-19 Pandemic in Lebanon
Tuesday, July 7, 2020

Breast Cancer Awareness
October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and more so every year, we see our communities covered in pink ribbons, shirts, symbolism and support. We are inundated with ways to support the cause, and it is important to remember why we as a community come together in support of the people who fight this disease.
What is Breast Cancer?
Well, on its face, breast cancer is a disease where malignant cells (cancer) grow in the breast tissues. It affects mostly women, but men are not immune to breast cancer. A common sign is a lump felt in the breast, however cancer can be present without a lump. This is why mammograms are so vital to early detection as they are able to see cancer before it can be felt or before symptoms develop.
There are different types of breast cancer – some are very rare while others are more common. Ductal carcinoma in situ and invasive carcinomas are more common; phyllodes tumors and angiosarcoma are less so. Invasive cancers are when the cancer cells have broken free of the lobule where they began and have the potential to spread to other parts of the body.
A non-invasive cancer stays within the milk ducts or lobules in the breast. They do not invade normal tissues within or grow outside of the breast. In situ means "in the same" place, and is also a term used to refer to a non-invasive cancer.
What are the Signs of Breast Cancer?
We mentioned earlier that a lump may or may not be present. So while many people associate a lump with cancer, it's important to remember a lump may not be there and you have to pay attention to other symptoms. Those can include:
- Discharge from the nipple
- Nipple inversion or retraction
- Redness or swelling
- Changes in lymph nodes
- Dimpling
- Changes to the skin texture of the breast
Any of these signs should be reported to your doctor right away.
Facts about Breast Cancer
- 1 in 8 women in American will develop breast cancer in their lifetime
- It is estimated that 268,000 new cases of invasive breast cancer will be diagnosed in women in 2019.
- Nearly 42,000 women are expected to die from breast cancer this year.
- Men are born with breast tissue and therefore can develop breast cancer, although it is rare. About 2,700 new cases of breast cancer in men will develop this year.
- Approximately 500 men will die from breast cancer in 2019.
- A woman in the United States is diagnosed with breast cancer every two minutes.
Breast Cancer in the Elderly
The Breast Cancer Research Foundation reports that breast cancer is a disease of aging. The median age is 62 years old, and about 25% of women with breast cancer are 75 years or older. Estimates show that as the population ages, the cases of breast cancer will rise, too. By 2030, most of the cases will be women ages 70-84.
Cancer treatments in the elderly population can be more devastating than those in other age demographics. This is because older patients tend to have weaker immune systems and have a greater risk of side effects from the treatments. Many seniors also take multiple medications for other chronic conditions that can interact or cause additional side effects when paired with cancer treatment.

The Asset Management Exchange Hits $10bn In Assets
Institutional fund platform The Asset Management Exchange has reached $10bn in assets. AMX was launched in February 2017 and now offers 50 strategies to investors across equity, fixed income and alternatives.
Tad Fetter, Global Head of Business Development and Client Service at Brandywine Global Investment Management, said: "By having an institutional focus, AMX has helped us better manage costs and create efficiencies. Our move was one of the smoothest transitions, of any type, we've ever done and having everything on AMX gives our clients a single lens and consistent set of data points through which to view their portfolio."
Lena Andrew, Pensions Investment Manager at Whitbread, said: "Knowing that AMX has the scalability to offer us a variety of investment strategies from skilled managers was something that appealed to us from the beginning. Since we started using AMX in November 2017, the average manager fee saving across all our managers for the period to 31 August 2019 was 15bps per annum and when combined with other operational and market counterparty savings, we have achieved total savings of £420,000."
Oliver Jaegemann, CEO of AMX, said: "AMX has experienced impressive growth over the past year due to the addition of new managers and strategies to the platform. With clients now across multiple jurisdictions, AMX has become a global, cross-asset solution for both investors and managers. It is an exciting time for all of us at AMX and we have set ambitious growth targets for the future as we continue to transform the investment industry."

The North East Fundraising Conference 2019 is being organised by the Institute of Fundraising North East (IOFNE) in partnership with VONNE and the Community Foundation Tyne & Wear and Northumberland.
As headline sponsors again this year, the KEDA Consulting team share what the conference theme of GROW means to them through a series of articles exploring Grit, Resilience, Opportunities, Wellbeing.
Opportunity: Fundraise better than the best in the business!
By Alex Blake, KEDA Consulting
There is a real opportunity for small charities to fundraise better than the big successful fundraising charities (e.g. Cancer Research UK, British Heart Foundation and so on). Some of what they do is great, such as having clear websites with lots of ways to support the charity, but there are often weaknesses too, such as standardising processes to deal with mass volumes at the cost of building relationships.
What could your competitive advantages be?
If you are focussed on a particular area/issue, then your specific expertise in this niche is a competitive advantage. Many of the larger organisations are spread much more thinly, for example they cover all cancers or all children's issues and are national with most staff in London. They cannot be an expert in everything and cannot offer a personal service to everyone. So for the people in your area, affected by the issue you are experts in, what can you offer that the big brands cannot?
There are lots of reasons why people would rather donate to or fundraise for a small charity, for example, if you lose someone you love to a rare form of cancer, you might want your donation to find a cure for that particular cancer. If you call Cancer Research UK's fundraising team, the person answering the phone probably won't know anything about osteosarcoma, but at the Bone Cancer Research Trust they will do, and that can make a huge difference to the supporter.
Seeing the difference donations make is another big reason – so work on how you demonstrate the impact of your work in a tangible way. This doesn't need to involve complex impact measurement frameworks; most people respond best to real life stories about how you have made a difference in their community.
Locality can be a powerful advantage – people often want to support their local charities where they can better see the difference their support makes.
Make it easy!
One reason that people donate to / fundraise in aid of the big charities is that they make it so easy to do so. The big fundraising charities have websites that make it very clear how to donate (usually a button on the home page) and have a wide range of ways to fundraise with the required resources, forms, advice etc easily accessible.
Small charities on the other hand often have terrible websites, with clunky donate functions and a lack of ways for people to fundraise. As a minimum, you need to have the basics in place: a donate button (even if it uses an external platform like Paypal), fundraising web pages with content on why and how to fundraise in aid of the charity with Gift Aid forms and a Just Giving page. If someone wants to donate or fundraise for you, don't lose out because you haven't put the basics in place.
Then instead of trying to automate like the big charities do by systemising everything into an online process, invite your supporters to get in touch so you can give them a warm and personalised experience.
Make people feel great about supporting you!
People donate based on emotion. Make people feel good about their decision to donate to you rather than the big charities.
One huge advantage of being a small charity is the ability to interact with supporters directly, removing the bottlenecks and bureaucracy of larger organisations and creating space to deliver better experiences and exceed expectations.
Your ability to meet people face to face, respond to inquiries, send handwritten notes and solve problems can result in amazing experiences which yield long-term support and more supporters through word of mouth marketing, online reviews and social media channels.
Better supporter experiences and relationships should be a top priority for any small charity looking to succeed in a competitive fundraising environment.
Shout about it!
Fundraising is all about effective storytelling. Your story will include elements such as the need your charity meets and the difference you make, and it must also include your competitive advantages such as your expertise in a particular niche, your amazing supporter experiences or how you are rooted in your local community.
You need to tell this story through all of your communication channels, in person, in newsletters, on your website, through social media. Be sure to back up your assertions with data and stories in multiple formats.
For the second year running, KEDA Consulting are championing fundraising excellence in our region as headline sponsor for The North East Fundraising Conference. The team is very excited for the event and have a busy two days planned, including:

I'm going for a year and I need a mobile that can go on the net preferably smartphones. I've looked up some of the phones they have offered and some of them are pretty decent, just one thing that nags me is that, do they accept SIM cards when I bring the phone back ?
What about bringing my own phone, will it be easier that way?
I was told to buy a monthly phone since it's easier and cheaper too......
What's your say ?

Review: Dua Lipa's Second Album Near Perfect
Dua Lipa presents disco infused synth-pop utopia for nine songs but doesn't stick the landing
April 20, 2020
"Future Nostalgia," the second full-length album by Dua Lipa, is a full 180 from her first album.
Gone are the rhythm and blues and pop beats of her previous record, now replaced by an assortment of instrumentals bursting with personality and taking inspiration from different genres and time periods. The lyrical quality on this album is far higher than anything she has sung about throughout her career, and it shines on some tracks, yet still falters on others.
There is a lot to talk about regarding the instrumentals and beats on "Future Nostalgia." The range of sounds and influences Dua and her producers took in and arranged shine on this album and complement her voice almost perfectly.
The title track of the album sounds like it was pulled from a 'Material Girl' era Madonna or a 2000s Gwen Stefani album. Dua's voice paired with the quick cuts of a robotic voice, some violin notes and a distorted bass makes for a great intro track.
Lyrically, throughout the album, Dua touches on an array of topics, from love to regret to finding herself. However, while there are some exceptions, the lyrics aren't deep regarding Dua herself. Instead of going more in a direction that other artists like Ariana Grande are going in, i.e. directly mentioning their love lives, she goes in a more "fill in the blanks with your ex" direction that appeals to the listener.
On tracks such as "Cool" and the third single "Physical," we get more of a synth-pop approach, mixed in with simple low basslines. On "Cool," Dua sounds like Charli XCX with her singing in a long falsetto for the verses. On "Physical," the synths are much more moody and low, and the high end of the track is distorted, bringing contrast to the peppy lyrics.
"Levitating" and "Hallucinate" are straight dance-pop songs with mixes of other genres. "Levitating" leans to more of the funk and disco of the 70s and 80s, with the background vocals and pulsing guitars and orchestral arrangement. "Hallucinate" is just a dance pop song that sounds like it's best played at a club.
"Future Nostalgia" is a good album with just these songs. But the elevating factor is the house genre style of bass on this album, mixed with disco.
The bass on songs such as "Pretty Please," "Break Your Heart," "Love Again" and "Hallucinate" sound like they were pulled from a Daft Punk project. "Love Again" also sounds like it takes influence from legendary 70's group Electric Light Orchestra.
All of these elements combine to make a pretty-much perfect pop album that showcases Dua's influences, versatility and progress as an artist.
Still though, there are a couple songs worth criticizing. The worst of the album comes at the end.
"Good In Bed" sounds like a rejected Lizzo song. Although the premise of the song is fine and the intro sounds like "Movin' Out (Anthony's Song)" by Billy Joel, it just doesn't work for me. "Boys Will Be Boys" would be fine on another album, but compared to the rest of the album, it's just way too simple and boring.
Despite faltering on those two songs, "Future Nostalgia" proves that Dua Lipa can be the face of modern pop.
This is my first year on the Bagpipe staff and I was on the middle school staff for a year.
What do you do in your free time?
Watch television, play video games, practice electric bass or go long boarding
How would your friends describe you?
Chaotic neutral
What is your favorite music genre?
Rock (Indie rock, Indie pop, alternative rock, permanent wave, 2000s alternative, emo, pop punk, regular punk)
