November 4, 2011
More than 150 high school seniors from Indiana and across the nation found their way to Wabash College Friday for Top 10 Scholarship Visit Day.
The visitation day introduces high school seniors to Wabash students, faculty and staff. But the visitors also hear and interact with alumni and sit in on a realistic classroom experience.
"We welcome you for what you have achieved," President Patrick White told the students and their parents. "We welcome you more for what you can become."
The students had to rank in the top ten percent of their high school class to earn an invitation. If they complete their application by pre-set deadlines, they are eligible for a Top Ten scholarship of $15,000 a year ($60,000 over four years) to Wabash. The top five percent will receive $17,500 annually.
The President welcomed the young men and assured them Wabash College would take them seriously. While young men falter academically across the nation, Wabash continues to educate young leaders, entrepreneurs, doctors and lawyers.
Students and their parents got the chance to hear from such Wabash graduates during two alumni panels. Students first heard from four Wabash graduates then parents got their turn to hear from a different foursome.
"I learned at Wabash that I wanted to go out into the world and be passionate about a lot of things," said Jeremy Robinson '04. Robinson is a school teacher in inner-city Chicago but earned a prestigious Rhodes Scholarship after spending two years in the Teach for America Program.
Robinson used his experience interviewing with the Rhodes Scholarship Committee to explain the power of Wabash. "I could never have gotten into Yale, Harvard or Princeton coming out of high school," he said. "There are a lot of people in this room who couldn't get into Yale or Harvard.
"But after graduation from Wabash, I knew I could compete with those people."
Kip Chase '03, Eli Lilly, took a more philosophical approach. "During your four years here you don't realize what you're planting here, what you're going to harvest," he told the students. "It's going to bear fruit for you."
Parents had plenty of questions for the four alumni sharing their Wabash experience. Jason Bridges '98, a New England entrepreneur, admitted he was scared to death his first two years at Wabash. Matt Piechocki '03, (in photo at left) also from Eli Lilly, talked about the liberal arts foundation for life. "A liberal art philosophy allows your son to do whatever it is they love," he told the Moms and Dads.
Students and their parents took tours, met with coaches, learned about immersion learning, and career services.
One of the unique aspects of the day was the opportunity to spend time in a Wabash classroom. The students attended class sessions led by Wabash professors in 12 different major areas.

On the spectrum of NBA defenses, the Bulls and the Knicks aren't quite polar opposites — but they're close. Where the Bulls are focused, disciplined and physical, the Knicks are casual, sloppy and soft. If the Warriors are still smarting from the drubbing they took from Thibodeau and company on Wednesday, a trip to Madison Square Garden might be just what the doctor ordered.
The Knicks have the fifth worst opponent field goal percentage and third worst opponent three point percentage. Based on past New York experience, Stephen Curry knows a thing or two about the Knicks' perimeter defense (or lack thereof). When Curry plays open and free, the rest of the Warriors seem to thrive with him. If the team is to succeed in the long run, they need a plan B for when Curry is mobbed. But for now, they just need to get back on track after a demoralizing loss. I expect to see an energized Warriors squad Friday night — and will be very concerned if I don't.
As always, drop your thoughts below.

Councillor Devesar's Diary
The pages of this diary
are full of meeting dates
and notes about council life.
It was used by Amrit Devesar.
He was the Labour councillor
for Bensham Manor Ward, Thornton Heath.
Amrit didn't like
the posh leather cover.
He felt that a simpler diary
would cost the public less.
0 mins 0 secs
Councillor Amrit Prakesh Devesar
Amrit was a Labour candidate
in the 1971 council elections:
"While we were canvassing
I knocked at a house
and a lady came
and I gave my usual patter.
And she said,
'Well, Mr Devesar,
you speak very good English.
The two Conservative canvassers
have been going around telling
that the Labour party
have picked up an Asian candidate
who can't even speak English'.
I said,
'That's interesting,
now you judge for yourself'.
Here you must give credit
to the fairness of the British people,
they don't like
people being misrepresented.
So I think
there might have been a backlash
and in the end I did win.
I paid a heavy price
for being a councillor.
Because of the committee meetings
and then the party meetings
I used to come home very, very late;
10, 11, 12.
And that was the time
my children were growing up.
I felt that
helping them with their studies,
their homework,
that suffered."
"If one is working in one's job,
it is physically impossible to read
all the various committee papers
we received in the post.
In hindsight,
I don't know how many councillors
can do justice to the job."
Becoming a Councillor
Amrit Prakesh Devesar
was elected in 1971.
It was the first time
that the Labour party had won
the Bensham Manor Ward
in Thornton Heath.
Amrit broke through
in another way too.
He was
Croydon's first Asian councillor.
He had to fight
a lot of racial prejudice
to get elected.

After playing with the phone a little more I noticed that every time I opened App Store app I got the same message about not being able to connect to the App Store. Once the app was started I could navigate the Featured, Charts, etc. links but the initial error message always (and annoyingly) popped up.
Turns out this is a common error that people are experiencing and the discussion boards at discussions.apple.com are all atwitter. While the solution below may seem bizarre it does seem to do the trick. The nature of the solution suggests to me there is some kind of certificate issue at play but the details of that don't really matter.
- Go to Settings -> General -> Date and Time and turn OFF "Set Automatically"
- Set the date 2 or more years into the future
- Go back into the App Store app where you will get the same error message. No matter.
- Go back into Settings -> General -> Date and Time and turn "Set Automatically" back ON
Now you should be able to successfully launch the App Store app without the error message. You will likely get a message about a certificate not being recognized or being out of date. Just touch the Continue button when that comes up.

Class War
Stupid or Evil?
The wrong side of history
They hate us for our freedom
Fox News
pro labor
Steven Crowder
Who wouldn't want to punch this stupid face?
Hahahahahaha. I guess getting punched in the face by a "union thug" wasn't quite the career break that Fox News dickweed and self-styled "comedian" Steven Crowder thought it would be. A Michigan prosecutor has declined to pursue assault charges against the man who punched him. On video.
Via Raw Story:
The Lansing State Journal reported on Tuesday that Ingham County Prosecutor Stuart Dunnings III decided not to pursue a case after watching unedited video of Crowder's appearance at a protest against right-to-work legislation, which culminated in Crowder getting punched in the face.
Crowder filed a police report and claimed he was assaulted, saying in interviews that he was "beat down" and that protesters "literally would have killed me where I stood if I defended myself." He also published an edited version of the confrontation online.
But after watching both that video and a longer, unedited account of the incident as aired on Current TV, Dunnings said, "It's pretty clear the person that they wanted to charge was acting in self-defense." In the longer video, the man who punched Crowder was pushed by an unseen person before striking him, giving the encounter a different context.
"I'm not holding that against him, but why would they provide the edited video?" Dunnings said. "The longer video clearly shows the guy got pushed down and came up swinging."
Why would Steven Crowder have provided an edited video, I wonder?
Anyone care to hazard a guess?
Another fun fact about Crowder: He's an abstinence advocate…
Roger Ailes really knows how to pick credible people for Fox News, doesn't he?

T. Willson needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 77 designs submitted by 22 freelance designers.
A number of classical musicians are joining forces to set up a new music conservatory that will serve students of all ages as they develop their vocal and instrumental skills; classes will include piano, violin, flute and a wide range of other instruments.
Students of the Conservatory of Music will be of all ages and backgrounds, but will be serious musicians of all abilities. However, the typical student is likely to be a young person who has been taking lessons for a number of years.
The branding for this school will also appeal to alumni and supporters of the parent institution (not named here).
This new conservatory will be known as the "Conservatory of Music". It is part of a larger institution, but the logo can be developed simply with the three words noted above.
We are looking for a classic logo, but nothing flowery or overly ornate. Something fresh and contemporary is prefered: we are going to be drawn to something that is fairly uncluttered. Music symbols can be used; representations of instruments (e.g., keyboards) may not be best, though we'd like to see all great ideas.
The ideals of the conservatory include:
-artistic excellence
-cooperation and partnership
-personal growth
We'd like something that will look as good in one color as in full color. (A design that doesn't include complex blends and fills would likely be best, but a colorful 3-D logo could be acceptable.)
One other thing to remember: the winning design is subject to revision. The winning design may be amended in the future to include the name of the parent institution or (possibly) another name (i.e., a sponsor or donor).
This conservatory will serve hundreds of students and has potential to grow into a significant organization. Design a logo that will be seen by thousands of students, concert attendees and supporters -- bring your best creative ideas and show us what you've got!
We'll try to provide feedback as we go; thanks for your interest!

Chief Administrative Officer - Dr. John R. Kelly
Email: email@example.com
Phone: 228-868-5700
The Office of the Chief Administrator serves as a vital link between the Mayor's Office, City Council, department directors and other entities to facilitate outcomes consistent with the overall vision and mission of the City of Gulfport. The CAO oversees the city's more than 20 departments and is responsible for oversight and management of city operations, ensuring efficiency, accountability and productivity in the city's commitment to deliver quality services through the daily operations of municipal government.
General Responsibilities of the Office:
John R. Kelly is a native of Utica, Miss., and has lived on the Coast for more than 40 years. Appointed by Mayor Warr, Kelly has served as Gulfport's chief administrative officer since January 2007 with three mayors and was asked to continue serving by former mayor George Schloegel. When mayor Billy Hewes III was elected in June 2013, Kelly was once again asked to serve.
Kelly is a 1970 graduate of Alcorn State University. He also earned a master's degree from Wayne State University in Detroit and a doctorate from the University of Southern Mississippi in Hattiesburg. Prior to becoming Gulfport's CAO, he served as the city's municipal court administrator for a short period.
Dr. Kelly spent most of his career in federal service. During his time with the federal government, he worked as regional director for Community and Family Support with Navy Region Southeast in Jacksonville, Fla. As regional director, he directed the operation of a multi-faceted family support program that encompassed mental health counseling, skills for living training, family advocacy and funeral honors details for service members and their families at 11 Naval installations around the southeastern United States, Cuba and Puerto Rico.
Kelly spent 10 years of his career with the Mississippi Cooperative Extension Service, Mississippi State University where he worked first as an Urban 4-H Youth Agent and later as a marine resource specialist. For 24 years he worked as an adjunct professor at the University Southern Mississippi Gulf Park Campus, where he taught courses in sociology, social psychology and adult education.
Immediately after retirement from federal service he managed his own consulting firm, Resources Management Inc. Resources Management is a research, training and development firm that worked with both the public and private sectors. During his career, Kelly testified before 11 U. S. House and Senate committees and subcommittees, representing the U.S. Navy and the ACS (American Cancer Society).
While with the ACS, he worked with Senate leaders to bring the heads of tobacco companies before a Senate subcommittee, resulting in the passage of stiffer advertising guidelines and higher taxes on cigarettes. He also helped launch a $12 million advertising campaign. In 2007, he was honored by the Jamaican government for his international efforts to expand the cancer fight. In addition, he was honored by former President Bill Clinton and George H. Bush for his work in cancer control.
Kelly has a long history of community and social involvement. He served as chairman of the National Board of Directors for the American Cancer Society from 1999-2001. He is a former president and chief volunteer officer for South Mississippi's United Way. In 2011, he was appointed by Mississippi's Governor Haley Barbour to the MS State Board of Education.
In addition, he has also served as president of the Board of Gulfport Job Corps Center. From 2000-2004 he served as chairman of the Board of Trustees for Gulf Coast Medical Center. Dr Kelly served four years as a national officer (regional vice-president) of his fraternity Alpha Phi Alpha. He is currently servicing as Sire Archon of his local Boule of Sigma Pi Phi. Last year he was named a trustee for Leadership Gulf Coast. He is a member of Morning Star Missionary Baptist Church where he serves as chairman of the Board of Deacons and the church's Rebuilding Committee. The church, which was virtually destroyed by Hurricane Katrina, recently moved into its new $3 million facility.
He is married to Dr. Bernell T. Kelly, who is a principal with the Biloxi School District. Together, they have two adult daughters, Felice and Kristi. They also have one granddaughter, Raegan Kelly Johnson, and a grandson, Dallas Gilliam.

Battlefield 4 Dragon's Teeth DLC Details Emerge
We have caught wind of some of the features that could possibly appear in Battlefield 4's upcoming Dragon's Teeth DLC.
MP1ST reports that members of the Battlefield community have found specific game files in Battlefield 4 that hint at the details of its upcoming Dragon's Teeth expansion. These Battlefield community users, named Hattiwatt1 and Wirrew, have previously leaked that Dragon's Teeth would be getting the Unica 6 autorevolver, the MPX machine gun, the CS5 sniper rifle, the Bulldog assault rifle, the Desert Eagle handgun and the Ballistic Shield (which DICE had previously announced was being introduced into Dragon's Teeth).
The same users have apparently discovered the map names of Dragon's Teeth along with its new, supposed game mode, "Chainlink." Possible names for Dragon's Teeth's four new maps are Propaganda, Sunken Dragon, Lumphini Garden and Pearl Market, with the latter two being actual locations in Beijing. Given Battlefield 4's story revolving around China, this makes these map names a bit more believable. Chainlink is rumored to be a Conquest-style mode that only rewards teams that are winning adjacent capture points, resulting in a different style of strategy. Stay tuned because DICE is going to be offering an official first look at Battlefield 4's Dragon's Teeth DLC sometime this week.

New Year Resolutions 2012: Top 10 Green Ideas
We guess you have already made your New Year Resolutions 2012 with goals related to your personal health, money or relationships. Now we help you to refine your resolutions by taking your day to day habits & surrounding environment in count.
On next paragraph, we have build a green list of New Year Resolutions 2012 to help build a greener earth.
Top 10 New Year Resolutions 2012 :
1. Eat Less Meat
A report from the year 2011 "estimates that if each American cuts meat and cheese from their diet for one day a week it would be equivalent to taking 7.6 million cars off the road." Cut down on the meat in your diet and take a stand against animal suffering in factory farms while reducing your own carbon footprint.
2. Recycle Paper
The Environmental Protection Agency explains that 63 percent of paper and paperboard was recycled in 2010. Two billion books, 350 million magazines and 24 billion newspapers are published each year according to the site. To reduce your waste from paper, be sure to recycle properly and resolve to subscribe digitally to your favorite magazines and newspapers. If possible, choose to stop receiving paper bills and statements, and make payments electronically.
3. Use Earth Friendly Cleaners
Chemical laden detergents end up in our waterways and poison aquatic life. They also lower the surface tension of the water, which presents another danger to marine life.
4. Compost
If you have the space why not try something new in 2012 and turn your scraps into compost? Not only will it make for a thriving garden by enriching the soil but all the waste you avoid sending to landfills ultimately avoids the production of methane and leachate.
5. Only Use Reusable Shopping Bags
Less than one percent of shopping bags are recycled each year, with Americans using one billion shopping bags each year. According to the council, rather than biodegrading, sunlight breaks down plastic bags into smaller pieces that contaminate the soil and water. Seattle peoples voted to ban plastic bags, in effective from July 2012. So, only use reusable shopping bags when you head out to buy your groceries.
6. Drive Less
Leaving your car in the garage is not just better for the environment. Spending some time outside, cycling or walking, will benefit your health too. According to a study from the University of Wisconsin, Madison earlier in 2011, making "short trips on bicycles could save approximately four trillion pounds of carbon dioxide emissions, 1,100 lives and $7 billion in mortality and health care costs for the [Midwest] every year." So, put down the keys, grab your helmet and resolve to pedal more in 2012!
7. Buy Less Bottled Water
According to the Clean Air Council, "26 to 41 percent of the 2.4 million tons of polyethylene terephthalate plastic discarded every year is bottled water bottles." In 2012, help to reduce this number by purchasing less bottled water and buying a reusable water bottle. When discarding plastic water bottles, make sure to recycle them properly. According to Mother Nature Network, this includes removing the lids so they don't mix with other types of plastic or get stuck in the machinery that is part of the process of melting down the plastic.
8. Shorten Your Shower Time
The U.S Geological Survey writes that each person in the U.S. uses about 80-100 gallons of water per day. Taking a shower uses the most water second only to flushing a toilet. At a time when half the world's population will face water scarcity issues within two decades, reducing your water use and taking shorter showers makes sense.
9. Plant Trees
Right now, about half of the earth's tropical forests have been cut down–has a huge impact on many of the other issues on this list, from the release of carbon dioxide that encourages global warming to the loss of countless animal habitats. Buying recycled and recyclable items helps, but you can take a more active role, too. Plant trees wherever you can and stay rooted against deforestation.
10. Save Power
Turn off lights and electronics when you leave the room. Unplug your cell phone charger and laptop adapter from the wall when not using it. Turn off energy strips and surge protectors when not in use (especially overnight).
So, now do your part to follow the New Year Resolutions 2012, and set an example for those around you to build a healthier, greener earth.

Netflix has witnessed an addition of 5.2 million subscribers during the second quarter of this year, which is roughly the same amount as last year. In the US, close to 670,000 subscribers were gained, while internationally 4.5 million subscribers were added during the second quarter.
Published - 17-July-2018
Revenue saw an increase of $3.9 billion from the last year's $2.8 billion and net income stood at $384 million this quarter; rising from $66 million in the previous year.
However, subscriber numbers have disappointed Netflix's expectations, standing at 6.2 million subscribers for this quarter.
In their financial earnings release, Netflix acknowledged having a "strong but not stellar" second quarter, however the company did boast about overtaking HBO with regards to their Emmy nominations this year, breaking HBO's 17-year streak.
eMarketer, the market research company, had predicted that Netflix would have 147.5 million individual users this year, an 11 percent growth from 2017. It also expects Netflix would garner close to 74 per cent of the OTT video users in the US.
Commenting on Netflix's financial results this quarter, eMarketer Principal Analyst Paul Verna said, "After four consecutive quarters of beating its own guidance, and analysts' expectations on key metrics such as revenues, profits, and subscriber gains, Netflix disappointed with a weak Q2 2018. This is isn't entirely surprising given rising competition in the video streaming market, where Amazon, Hulu, HBO and others are gaining share of subscription video dollars at Netflix's expense. The market is also heating up with new entrants in the SVOD space, including Disney and AT&T."
He noted that despite the weaker-than-expected results, the company was expected to continue to be the leading video streaming service across the US, adding, "Netflix has a strong slate of original content that should keep it in the forefront among streaming services, and it plans to continue outspending the competition to develop TV programming and feature films. This is critical in an era when people increasingly choose streaming services on the strength of their content".
Netflix now has a total of 130 million international users, adding 7.4 million new subscribers in the previous quarter, a 50 per cent rise from the year before.

India to be $10tn economy in 2030, says D Shivakumar of Aditya Birla at ISA CEO Conference
Shivakumar, Group Executive President Corporate-Strategy and Business Development, Aditya Birla, talks about how digital as an emerging market is a huge unifier and not a divider
The second edition of the ISA CEO Conference that was held on Monday saw many dignitaries talk about the connectedness paradox. D Shivakumar, Group Executive President, Corporate-Strategy and Business Development, Aditya Birla, gave an insightful speech on Rethink and Rework, Competitive strategies for a new interconnected paradigm.
Speaking about being interconnected, Shivakumar explained how more than advertising, engagement would be the key in the coming days. "Every business connects to the other. No business is an island. Every event that happens has an impact on your business. You recognise that if you want to stay in an interconnected world. In the next decade, you will be more interconnected than you can imagine."
Shivakumar explains how everything we use today - be it phones, cameras or clothes - are all interconnected. "All toys are from China, speakers from Vietnam, cameras from Japan and apparels are from Bangladesh," he pointed out. "The best global brands are the best local brands today. Global best brands like McDonald's adapt their menu to their relevant country. In India, they have aloo tikka."
Coming to statistics, Shivakumar made some interesting predictions regarding the fate of digital India in the coming years. He predicted that India would be a $10 trillion economy in 2030. "About 60 per cent of that will be domestic consumption. India has always been a domestic-led market. China is about 40 per cent. India will be richer, younger and a more educated country, and also more connected." He also shared how the income of the Indian middle class would change dramatically in 2030.
Furthermore to his analysis of what India would be in 2030, Shivakumar continued, "India will be digitally united by 2030. Digital as an emerging market is a huge unifier. It is not a divider. India will have 1 billion people on the internet via smartphones. We have skipped once and for all the laptop age, we flirted with tablet era, that's also gone. Now, the phone screens will go bigger and will have all the functionalities of either a laptop or a tablet, we tend to use the phone a lot more. Smartphones will be a dominant tool in the future."
Shivakumar also reveals how video will become big in the coming years. "Search engines are going vernacular. We have seen that with concepts like 'Who wants to be a Billionaire' or 'Dancing With the Stars'. All these big concepts globally, when translated into vernacular, are as popular in Odisha, Tamil Nadu or Kerala as it is in the USA. Consumer voice matters a lot and if you are not serious about taking that right into your boardroom, then you will be in trouble."
India has the cheapest data price in the world. It is at $0.26/1GB of mobile data whereas Switzerland has the highest price of $20.22/1GB for mobile data. "Everybody is talking and sharing with everybody. This is the interconnected world we live in. India has the second cheapest handsets in the world. So if you see, to enable interconnectedness, we have two of the biggest ones already," explained Shivakumar.
Digital transparency will ensure newer business models. "For example, the subscription business model of Bombay Shaving Club. We have never thought of the subscription business model in the pass. Only a subscription business model that was successful in India in the past was magazines. But I believe more and more business will get into subscription today," Shivakumar said. He also broadly explained how renting furniture would become a big business in future. That's because people don't want to own. They would rather pay money. "Why I am renting? Because I am closer to the information of seller buyer and user. I know exactly who used it and what I am willing to pay," said Shivakumar. He also mentioned how it would be the same in the case for cars, apparels and many more. As for e-commerce, he predicted that ease of shopping would be a huge factor for interconnectedness.
Premiumization will accelerate and the growth will be 53 per cent with more attention grabbing technology at the point of purchase. Consumers will give their right arm for both education and health. Training in companies will be interconnected now. Health and food sector will grow dramatically in the next few years, he added.
The physical distribution of technology will not work anymore in this digital age. "Those who are big today, the digital guys will mercilessly murder them. They have zero cost, have all the margin and premium. If they play smart, India is waiting to premiumize and waiting for better options," Shivakumar signed off.

Is 'Roar Of The Lion' Hotstar's way of creating more content around IPL 2019?
Nikhil Madhok of Hotstar Original Content and Deepak Dhar of Banijay Asia, reveal whether or not MS Dhoni's docu-drama is a move to provide more content to the consumers during IPL
Hotstar recently announced the launch of Hotstar Specials, which will feature shows from India's most acclaimed storytellers. The first to arrive from this bouquet is 'Roar Of The Lion'. It charts the journey of Chennai Super Kings' comeback to IPL through Mahendra Singh Dhoni after a two year ban and lifting the trophy last year. Hotstar claims it's a story he didn't even narrate to his own friends. The show hits the streamer on March 20 which couldn't have been a more apt time because Indian Premiere League begins from March 23. In fact, the first match of the tournament is between CSK and Royal Challengers Bangalore. Could it be a move to get more time spend on the app apart from match viewing? Nikhil Madhok, EVP & Head Hotstar Original Content, insists it's by default and not by design.
Speaking to exchange4media, Madhok explains, "The way this story panned out, we would have wanted it regardless of whether or not IPL had happened. The stars have aligned in such a way that it is launching a couple of days before IPL. It does have a significant advantage. In the course of next eight to six weeks when the IPL is on, the traffic and the numbers are really mind-boggling. Frankly, it provides this particular show a massive opportunity for people to watch it. In that sense yes, it happened more by default than design which is beneficial. For us, we couldn't have asked for a more original story for our first Hotstar Special is concerned."
'Roar of The Lion' is a collaboration with Deepak Dhar's Banijay Asia and MS Dhoni's Dhoni Entertainment with Hotstar being the OTT platform on which it is mounted. When asked what made Dhar go for Hotstar, the Founder & CEO revealed, "The whole content boom that is happening. Now you want content to be made available on every device possible. This has really become the closest screens and the big screen is quite far off." He also added how unlike 'Sachin: A Billion Dreams' which was in the docu-drama space like 'Roar Of the Lion', he never really thought about taking it to the theatres.
Mahendra Singh Dhoni already has a film to his name which speaks about his journey from a TC with the railways to being the World Cup winning captain. The film made Rs 120 crore or more at the box office. So why a show on him makes sense for Hotstar's consumers? Madhok explains, "We announced our initiative for Hotstar Special a few months ago. Around that point of time, Deepak has come up with the idea of 'Roar of The Lion'. We found a couple of things exciting. As the home of cricket in the country, Hotstar is the credible platform to tell such a story. In the kind of specials that we are doing, we are trying to be innovative. A story like his which is a mixture of drama and documentary…people are not really exposed to in this country. Given the size and scale Hotstar has we are going to make it available in multiple languages, the entire country can watch it."
The future of online retailing in India: Rohit Dhingra, TAGG
Guest Column: Rohit Dhingra, Co-Founder & CEO of TAGG believes that the current business environment in India has the potential to enhance the growth of the online retail sector
Owing to the rapid technological advancements, the online retailing industry in India has emerged to become one of the most dynamic and fast-growing industries. Factors such as deeper penetration of the internet, increase in smartphone usage and online payments are contributing well towards the growth of the online retail. According to a report by e-Marketer, the e-commerce industry in India has grown more than 3 times since 2015, and by 2022, the same will be worth 71.94 billion dollars.
The current business environment in India has the potential to enhance the growth of the online retail sector. One of the key factors that can fuel its growth is the increase in the number of Internet and smartphone users. According to a recent report of IAMAI, India will have 500 million users internet users by the end of this year. Also, India is one of the booming markets which is observing the rapid growth of smartphone customers. The convenient availability of affordable smartphones will further enhance the e-retailing opportunities in India in the near future.
The rise in transactions through net banking, debit cards, and credit cards is another factor which is augmenting the growth of online retailing. With net-banking and credit/debit cards simplifying the transaction process and the emergence of secure transaction methods like One Time Passwords (OTPs) and secure payment gateways, consumers are preferring to shop online.
Even though the Indian online retailing market has enormous growth prospects, there are a lot of hurdles for e-retailers in the country. Effective logistics play a crucial role in defining the working success of e-retailers as on-time delivery and other priority services are the biggest challenges for online retailers. Also, the cost of logistics in India is high due to the lack of adequate infrastructure along with another significant disadvantage that is the limited technology reserves and developments in the Indian logistics sector. If we observe the other developed countries, there are significantly huge investments carried out in such technologies as Global Positioning System (GPS) to improve the tracking of delivery and shipment of customer orders. Another big difficulty that the sector is facing today is the slow speed internet connectivity which again can have a huge effect on the evolving prospects of online retail in the long run.
Overall, the future of the Indian online retail sector looks bright. The pace at which online retail is growing, it can make a significant contribution to the consolidated retail industry and the economy of our country. The growth of this sector can be boosted enormously, provided we overcome the challenges related to the infrastructure, policy framework and operational environment of our country.

Momspresso launches support groups, an anonymous social network for women
Momspresso's new product offers women dedicated groups wherein they can discuss specific topics like single motherhood, intimacy and depression without revealing their identities
Topics such as financial independence, post-pregnancy weight loss and child care tips are commonly talked about across parenting groups and platforms. However, mothers seldom speak up about issues that truly affect their physical and mental well-being through public domains such as social media platforms. Identifying the need for women to discuss lesser spoken topics, without divulging their identities, Momspresso, a platform of expression for Moms, has launched Support Groups. Momspresso's new product is aimed at offering women dedicated groups wherein they can discuss specific topics like single motherhood, intimacy and depression without revealing their identities.
Internationally, there are several groups for moms where they can bond with like-minded women, share their problems and offer solutions, all the while remaining anonymous. Through such groups, mothers can create a sisterhood of sorts, a safe space for them to open up about issues important to them. In India, unfortunately, such groups that facilitate anonymous solidarity do not exist. While numerous moms are a part of various groups on social media that discuss common topics related to motherhood, many mothers do not feel comfortable participating due to the fear of being identified and judged by friends or relatives. Through this feature mothers can remain anonymous while discussing intimate issues affecting their lives, Momspresso is ensuring that mother can use the community to seek or share advice without fear of being judged or misunderstood.
Since the launch of support groups in October 2018, in both English and Hindi, the product has witnessed strong traction, with audio comments being a popular feature with users. The Hindi group "Kahein man ki har baat", has seen the highest engagement with mothers finding the comfort of anonymity to discuss a wide variety of topics. 'Depression and Anxiety' is another group that has seen good engagement with mothers discussing pertinent issues such as postpartum depression, healing from anxiety and how to deal with negative emotions. Similarly, the group for 'divorced and single mums' allows mothers to open up about the financial, emotional and physical implications of solo parenting.
Currently, Momspresso is eyeing rapid expansion by adding several new products. To oversee its product function, Momspresso has also announced the appointment of Anirudh Agrawal as its Product Head. Anirudh moves to Momspresso from PopXo, where he spearheaded the product. He will play a key in driving Momspresso's product strategy to achieve its vision of having 70 per cent of all urban Indian mothers use the platform.
Speaking on the launch of Support Groups, Vishal Gupta, Co-founder & CEO of Momspresso said, "Motherhood can be a lonely journey and through this product, we will enable mothers to seek and provide support on a wide range of issues that affect them deeply. With every Support Group, we want mothers to reassure mothers that they are not alone".
Speaking on the unique concept of anonymous support groups, Shimona Shahi Rana, Chief Content Officer, Momspresso, said, "We have started 23 Groups across English and Hindi, including Divorce and Single Moms, Adoption, Sex & Intimacy, Raising Children with Disabilities, In-laws Stories and New Moms, amongst others. More groups will be added throughout the year. By joining a group, mothers will have easy access to other mothers who are going through the same experiences as them. They can share their experiences, ask and answer questions posed by other moms, create polls on topics which they always wondered about and, most importantly, support each other. The best part is that they can do so anonymously, so more moms will be able to partake in difficult yet important conversations through our platform," she added.
Since its inception, Momspresso has inspired moms to become the best and happiest versions of themselves. Its rich community of 10,000 mommy bloggers have created more than 80,000 blogs in 8 different languages, covering topics as diverse as pregnancy and baby care, teenage and adolescent issues, beauty, fashion, relationships, healthcare and more. With the launch of Momspresso Groups, the platform is cementing its position as a safe space that connects and supports moms through the journey of motherhood and womanhood. With the collective strength of its 18 million mom community, Momspresso wants moms to know that #YouAreNotAlone.

TNA returned to PPV with cage matches
galore. While contesting every match in a steel cage took away from the match
over time, unique moves, brawling on the outside and different styles combining
helped lead TNA to its third solid PPV in a row.
The stage was set, Lethal Lockdown made
its debut at this year's PPV. Earl Hebner was in the striped shirt as "The
Phenomenal" AJ Styles and "Wildcat" Chris Harris started the match off. For five
minutes, the two duked it out back and forth, with both men hitting their
finishers early on.
Earlier in the evening, Jarrett's army won
the coin toss, therefore, the next man to enter was none other than Harris'
tag team partner, "The Tennessee Cowboy" James Storm. As he was about to enter,
Styles kicked the cage door back at him. Storm avoided catching it in the face,
instead ducking it and allowing it to hit Gail Kim in the back of the head. AMW
double teamed "The Phenomenal One."
"The War Machine" Rhino was the next man
to enter for Sting's army. Rhino attempted to Gore Storm, but he was able to
avoid it. With the clock winding down, Rhino and Styles knocked down both
members of AMW and made way towards the entrance ramp to attack the next
entrant, Jeff Jarrett.
Jarrett was able to once again use the
numbers game to his advantage, and put Sting's army back on the defensive.
Jarrett suplexed Styles into the cage, but having seen that twice before on
the PPV, the crowd didn't give it the same reaction, a key example of too
many cage matches being a bad thing. Ron "The Truth" Killings emerged
from the back next, and landed a few punches and a flying forearm on AMW and
Jarrett. Styles ascended the cage, but was caught by Storm and Jarrett who went
to double suplex him. Killings and Rhino got underneath them in an electric
chair drop position, while Harris got underneath them for a powerbomb, sending
everyone across the ring and planting Styles on his head.
"Big Poppa Pump" Scott Steiner came out
next and began suplexing Sting's army in every direction. Steiner continued his
assault until Sting appeared and cleaned house, Stinger Splashing all four
members of Jarrett's army. Sting called for the weapons to be lowered, as pyro
shot down from the structure.
Kendo Sticks and Trash can lids littered
the ring, as both teams squared off with weapons in hand. Styles and Storm made
their way to the roof of the cage and began fighting on top. Kim tried to climb
the cage, but Styles prevented her from doing so, as Gayda pulled her skirt off.
Jarrett tried to use a guitar, but Sting blocked it with his bat. Sting tried to
hit Jarrett with a guitar of his own, but Steiner low blowed him.
On top of the cage, Styles set up a table
and a ladder. Styles placed Storm on the table, climbed the ladder, hung from a
metal structure and came crashing down on Storm, putting him through the table.
At this point, nearly everyone involved was a bloody mess. Back in the ring, all
six men went at it, with finishers galore. Harris caught Sting with the Scorpion
Death Lock, but Sting reversed it into a Scorpion Death Lock of his own, forcing
Harris to tap out and giving Sting's warriors the victory.
The opening video was another step up production wise for TNA.
Match One - Six Man World X Cup Preview Match - Team Japan vs. Team USA
This was a terrific way to open the show. Plenty of action, a variety of triple team moves and combos that got the crowd off their feet. Alex Shelley stepped up to the plate and delivered alongside Sonjay Dutt and Jay Lethal, showing that teamwork between them can exist. Team Mexico came out midway through to survey the match, which saw Black Tiger drive
Lethal with a Tiger suplex after a miscommunication with Shelley. Team Japan
picked up the win and the momentum going into the World X Cup.
Winners Via Pinfall - Team Japan
Match Rating - 8/10
Mike Tenay and Don West joined us from
ringside to talk about the rest of the PPV, before sending us backstage to
Jeremy Borash. Borash interviewed Team 3D about their match with Team Canada.
After 3D expressed their hatred for the Canadians, they stormed off as TNA
Commissioner Larry Zybysko stepped in. Zybysko questioned Borash about the big
announcement TNA Management was making later on, but he couldn't find any answers.
Match Two - "The Fallen Angel" Christopher Daniels vs. Low Ki
Low Ki changed his name, but due to spelling issues, I am not sure exactly the right way to write it out, so Low Ki will have to do. This was a more mat based match-up, with a plethora of chops being dished out. Ki used his patented kicks to gain an edge on his former
partner, but a suplex and BME from Daniels left Ki hurtin' for certain. Daniels
attempted to hit the Angels Wings, but it was reversed with Low Ki using the
ropes for leverage to pick up the win.
Winner Via Pinfall - Low Ki
Match Rating - 6/10
In the back, Jeremy Borash spoke with The James Gang, who told LAX to prepare for a strappin'.
A music video of their feud played and again the question arose, why are they having a steel cage arm wrestling match?
Match Three - Arm Wrestling Match - Konnan w/ Homicide and Hernandez vs. "Bullet" Bob Armstrong w/ The James Gang
Konnan grabbed a mic and cut a promo on
Armstrong, claiming he would not be able to beat him in an arm wrestling match.
Well, he was wrong. As per the new stipulation, BG grabbed a mic and proceeded
to taunt LAX as the whipped them with leather straps. I broke out the Steel Cage
Arm Wrestling Match Rating's guide and determined that giving this thing any
points would be a crime.
Winner - "Bullet" Bob Armstrong
Match Rating - 0/10
Jeremy Borash joined us once again with
Team Jarrett, who declared that they were ready to take out Sting's warriors.
Larry Zybysko barged into the room and questioned Jarrett about TNA Management's
big announcement. Jarrett told Zybysko to ask the Hebners about it, which sent
Zybysko off, still begging to get an answer.
Match Four - X Division X-Scape Match - "Primetime" Elix Skipper w/ Simon Diamond vs. Petey Williams w/ Coach Scott D'Amore vs. Puma vs. Chase Stevens vs. Shark Boy vs. Chris
Shark Boy wrestled for most of the early part of the match, getting in a good amount of offense, however, in the midst of all the action, he got caught and planted with a Canadian Destroyer for the one-two-three.
Elimination One Via Pinfall - Shark Boy
Williams and Sabin continued to do battle, as Chase Stevens did a shooting star press off the top of the cage. Let's hope Andy Douglas comes back, as Stevens really doesn't have any purpose anymore. Once he got back to his feet, Skipper hit the Emerald Fusion for the three
Elimination Two Via Pinfall - Chase Stevens
D'Amore and Diamond had a gameplan to keep their two men in there the longest, but this plan was messed up, as Williams rolled up Skipper for a cheap three count. D'Amore and Diamond were about to go at it, as Williams sent Skipper to the outside and onto Diamond.
Elimination Three Via Pinfall - "Primetime" Elix Skipper
Puma turned into a Cradle Shock, and joined Skipper on his way to the back.
Elimination Four Via Pinfall - Puma
Sabin and Williams fought to the top of the cage. D'Amore kept Sabin from jumping to the floor, as Williams made it over the top. The two men fought on the side of the cage, with Sabin knocking Williams off and onto D'Amore's shoulders. With Williams still not touching the floor, Sabin jumped and picked up the win.
Winner - Chris Sabin
Jeremy Borash stood in a dark area of the arena to interview "The Monster" Abyss and Father James Mitchell. Mitchell promised Doomsday for Christian Cage, as Abyss grunted in
A music video and the X-Factors led us into the X Division Championship match.
Match Five - TNA X Division Championship Match - "The Samoan Submission Machine" Samoa Joe (C) vs. "The Suicidal, Homicidal, Genocidal" Sabu
Sabu used his chair/springboard legdrops to gain an advantage on Joe, but Joe used Sabu's broken arm to bring him right back down. Sabu went to the well once to often and got met with a steel chair to the face and a Muscle Buster for the three count. Big disappointment.
Winner Via Pinfall and STILL TNA X Division Champion - "The Samoan Submission Machine" Samoa Joe
Match Rating - 5/10
Jeremy Borash caught up with Team Canada, who proudly sang their national anthem in the back. They were interrupted by Larry Zybysko, who again asked about TNA Management's big announcement. D'Amore acknowledged the fact that he knew about it, but wasn't going to tell Zybysko anything, as he and his teamed stormed off singing their national anthem.
They played a music video which led us into...
Match Six - Anthem Match - Team Canada ("Showtime" Eric Young, "The Canadian Enforcer" Bobby Roode and A-1) w/ Coach Scott D'Amore vs. Team 3D (Brother Ray, Brother Devon and Brother Runt)
Winners Via Capturing the Flag - Team 3D
Mike Tenay and Don West began talking about the upcoming Title match, when they were interrupted by the debuting Christy Hemme. Hemme delivered an envelope that contained the big announcement from TNA Management. Tenay announced that there was going to be a complete overhaul of TNA's corporate department, and the first order of business was putting Larry Zybysko on probation due to questionable activities. Zybysko came out whining, as Tenay announced the second order of business was the re-enstating of Raven. Raven came out and chased Zybysko as security broke the two up.
Jeremy Borash attempted to interview Christian Cage, but the champ had nothing to say.
A music video and the tale of the tape led us into...
Match Seven - NWA World Heavyweight Championship Match - "Captain Charisma" Christian Cage (C) vs. "The Monster" Abyss w/ Father James Mitchell
This match started off on the entrance way, with Cage tackling Abyss and the two men fighting throughout the crowd. Cage and Abyss used the cage door to attack one another. Cage hit a frogsplash from the top of the cage, but it wasn't enough to put away "The Monster." Referee Andrew Thomas got caught up in the action and clotheslined by Abyss. Thumbtacks came into play, with Abyss getting powerbombed off the top into them. After Thomas was chokeslammed into the cage, Mark "Slick" Johnson came out next to referee the remainder of the match. The Black Hole Slam mustered only a two count, as more thumbtacks were brought into play. Abyss attempted to put Cage into them, but an Unprettier into the tacks was enough to put this one in the bag for Cage. After the match, Cage went to attack Mitchell, but Abyss stopped him and busted him open, before choking him out with his chain and stealing the belt.
Winner Via Pinfall and STILL NWA World Heavyweight Champion - "Captain Charisma" Christian CageMatch Rating - 8/10
Jeremy Borash interviewed Sting's warriors who promised to destroy Jarrett's army.
A music video led us into...
Match Eight - Lethal Lockdown - Jarrett's Army (Jeff Jarrett, "Wildcat" Chris Harris, "The Tennessee Cowboy" James Storm and "Big Poppa Pump" Scott Steiner) w/ Gail Kim and Jackie Gayda vs. Sting's Warriors (Sting, "The Phenomenal" AJ Styles, Ron "The Truth" Killings and "The War Machine" Rhino)
Match Rating - 8/10
Chris Sokol is from Long Island, NY and is still questioning the logic behind a steel cage arm wrestling match.

Rated: PG for some rude humor, mild language and brief smoking.
Release Date: 2010-04-30
Starring: Michael Carnes, Josh Gilbert
Film Genre:
Official Website: http://www.furryvengeance-movie.com/
The family film, Furry Vengeance, lacks a lot of imagination, it seems to have gotten most of its ideas from other family films such as Dr. Dolittle and Evan Almighty. The few laughs it achieves out of the audience (and I mean children) are based on ridiculous physical humor that at some point is more distasteful than funny. The good thing about the film is the messages it carries: to conserve our forests, prevent the destruction of them to build housing and the need to respect animal's rights and homes. Unfortunately, these are barely important points of the movie; it's more of a story of man vs. wild carried out by nature's pranks against the protagonist.
Dan Sanders (Brendan Fraser) is a real estate developer who is sent to take down a forest and build a private community called "Rocky Springs". His family Tammy (Brooke Shields) and Tyler (Matt Prokop) miss the noisy city where they used to live, Chicago. His wife tries to be supportive and make the best of their new home, but their teenage son hates having been taken away from his friends and being in the middle of a forest where there is nothing to do. Dan tries everything to please his boss (Ken Jeong) and believes the supposed year they are to live in the forest while they build the community will bring them closer to nature and that it would fly by, but he's wrong. The animals that live in the forest soon realize what is to become of their home and begin plotting against Dan by pranking him and making his life miserable. Dan is shun by his family when he starts acting crazy, saying the animals are pranking him and also once they realize what the company he works for is to do to this natural haven.
If the film would have focused on the importance of protecting our forest and keeping family as a priority, this at least would have given it some substance. There really isn't much to take from this film that would even be of much entertaining value for anyone. Fraser as well as Brooks have played these same roles many times, the one of the goof and the patient wife. As a cartoon this movie might have been more successful. There's nothing new that this movie has to offer nor in the story line or characters. This is not the worse movie i've seen but it definitely makes the list.

But my current dreams involve real people who I am excited to be seeing. The overall mood is one of anticipation, celebration and excitement. I've even wailed - in my dream, of course - "Oh, I've forgotten my camera and I know this will be a photo-worthy event!"
Needless-to-say, my waking life has been more ordinary with excitement being a long awaited (and welcome) root canal or an adults only dinner out while Cowgirl attended a birthday party. It has been an uneventful winter and while hints of an early Spring are everywhere, I am feeling like burrowing deeper into my cave.

My roommate PJ and I have been using this new service, Qik, which allows for live video-streaming from our mobiles. Unbeknown to either of us, the video PJ shot on the South Side immediately after the Steelers Super Bowl victory caught the attention of Qik, who judged his the best. In their words, "We finally chose legend107's brief but powerful video streamed live from Carson Street in Pittsburgh right after the final whistle. What atmosphere!"

This was done especially for K, who had a piece of my durian cake 4 years ago by default (I gave a piece to a friend who gave part of that to her friend who gave it to her son, K) and has wanted to eat it again ever since. K came back for holidays recently and told me that he dreamt of eating my durian cake and that if I ever bake, to let him know, and he'd come and watch me bake. And he did come today, along with his cousin Kim, and their sponge turned out better than the one I made last night for these photos.
I didn't want to bother with my long-trusted fresh cream durian cake of sponge cake layered with durian mousse. That recipe is a lot of work and ingredients. It calls for coconut milk, gelatine leaves, eggs and durian to be cooked, chilled and then mixed with whipped cream and layered with sponge tiers, and set in a ring pan overnight. A much faster and easier way would be to just mash up some durian flesh and mix it with whipping cream. We used to get a very good whipping cream called Rich's, but now it seems to be impossible to find. I don't like the whipping creams available; they taste waxy and are heavily scented. I like fresh dairy cream but it doesn't have volume, can turn into butter and whey if you overbeat it and it melts easily. It doesn't make very impressive looking cakes but since I'm a health first and taste second kind of cook, I used dairy cream for this cake.
Durian cakes are hard for me to decorate. With carrot cakes, you can use nuts and miniature carrots, choc cakes and other cakes with fresh fruits. So I went wild and covered the whole cake with durian fresh cream. Wah, what a luxury! Trust me, even if you don't like durian, you'll like durian fresh cream cake. The hardest thing though when it comes to making durian cake is controlling myself from devouring the durians and keeping some for the cake. And then after making the cake, it's hard to stop eating until it's all gone.
I prefer this durian cake than the one I posted before. And it is real easy to make too. Durians have just come into season again I'm told. Grab hold of one and make this cake. You'll LOVE it.
Durian Fresh Cream Cake (amended)
A ingredients:
210g Softasilk cake flour + 30 g corn flour
2 t double action baking powder
6 large egg yolks
90g sugar
130 ml or 4 1/2 fld oz milk
90 ml or 3 fld oz corn oil
B ingredients:
6 large egg whites
75g sugar
1/4 t cream of tartar
1. Preheat oven to 160 C. Get an 11 or 12 " (28 to 30 cm) round cake tin.
2. Mix all the A ingredients in a bowl with a hand whisk until smooth.
3. Whisk the whites with the cream of tartar by machine until slightly foamy, then add the sugar and whisk until stiff. Do not overwhip or the whites will not be strong enough to hold the batter.
4. Mix A batter into B, by hand, very quickly and thoroughly.
5. Pour into the cake tin and bake 45 minutes. Test by plunging a wooden skewer into the middle of the cake; if it comes out clean, cake is done. Turn onto a cake board and let cake hang until thoroughly cooled.
6. Ease cake out by running a spatula around the sides, tap it and turn over onto a cake board. Cut cake horizontally into 2 or 3 layers and sandwich each with the durian cream, covering the top and sides too.
7. Durian cake is best when served very cold.
Durian Fresh Cream
I didn't measure the amounts and this is an estimate. You can use more or less durian or cream to your liking.
300g to 400g durian flesh, mashed well with a fork
300-400 ml whipping cream or 500-600 ml fresh dairy cream
1 to 2 heaped T caster sugar (omit sugar if using whipping cream which is usually sweetened)
--whip the cream with the sugar until it just begins to come together and makes stiff peaks when the whisk is lifted. Add the durian flesh and mix well quickly.
