Daily commute in Haiti: How do people get to work?
At 5am, when the sun has still not gone up, the streets of Port-au-Prince are already busy. But they are not busy with cars, since income levels in Haiti are still too low – Haiti ranks 200 among 216 countries on 2015 Gross National Income rankings published by the World Bank – and the colorful tap-taps remain unaffordable to most of the population. At this time of the day, streets are filled with people walking to work or school, starting their long journeys early so they can arrive on time. In fact, only 26% of Haitians use any motorized vehicle on a regular basis. The remaining 74% either walk everywhere or do not travel at all.

A smartphone's display is one of the main considerations for consumers, so manufacturers are constantly trying to come up with improvements to get a step ahead. iPhone 4 and Galaxy S 2 are two of the devices currently competing harshly against each other; here is a quick comparison of their displays.
When comparing iPhone 4 and Samsung Galaxy S 2 on size, it becomes obvious that Apple's device falls short - with a mere 3.5-inch screen. Apple had better address this issue and offer a bigger screen with its next device. The Galaxy S 2 meanwhile, offers a huge 4.3-inch display.
Galaxy S 2 creates an amazing colour contrast, offering vibrant colours and deep black shades due to the Super AMOLED Plus screen. The secret behind this technology is that it only lightens a certain screen section. On the other hand the iPhone 4 incorporates one of the best IPS screens - but it cannot match the AMOLED experience.
This is where the iPhone 4 scores better thanks to the retina display. Apple's device offers 50% more ppi than the Galaxy S2. Despite the PenTile matrix switch, Galaxy S 2 is still unable to match the sharpness of iPhone 4.
All in all, the Galaxy S 2 has an amazing screen size and an astonishing Super AMOLED Plus screen, but iPhone 4 just about manages to even the scales with its Retina Display.

This is my first time using coconut flour at home. I used it for the first time in my Food Experimental Science lab at school when I made Paleo Blueberry Lemon Bars last quarter. After that class, I got interested in coconut flour so I bought this bag at Trader Joes last week. Today, I got to use it in this pancake recipe! What's awesome is this whole batch only required 2 tbsp + 1 tsp coconut flour. That's the magic of coconut flour!
Coconut Flour is high in protein, fiber & healthy fats. It's a great alternative for those who are gluten-free or paleo. However, coconut flour is very dry so it's a difficult flour to bake with. You can't easily replace other flours 1:1 with coconut flour. This flour loves moisture so thats why most recipes with coconut flour contains eggs. Also, recipes don't usually ask for much coconut flour. Just a bit goes a long way and does a lot in a final baked product. It's a fun flour to experiment with! Lots of trial and error but learning lots along the way 🙂
Recipe Yields: Six 3-inch pancakes
- 2 egg whites
- ¼ cup milk
- ¼ tsp vanilla
- 2 tbsp + 1 tsp coconut flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- Small pinch of sea salt
Below is the SECRET to fluffy pancakes. Blend your eggs to STIFF PEAKS. This is the result of blending 2 egg whites with an electric mixer. It should be like thick foam!
- Blend 2 egg whites until it reaches stiff peaks (look at picture above)
- Add milk & vanilla & continue to blend with your electric mixer.
- Add 2 tbsp + 1 tsp coconut flour. If needed, add 2 tbsp first and then slow add 1 tsp by tsp.
- Add baking powder, cinnamon & sea salt. Continue to blend.
- When batter is thick enough to be scooped without being runny, it's done. It should still have stiff peaks but also look like batter.
- Preheat pan to medium heat.
- Coat pan w/ coconut oil (or any oil of choice).
- Scoop 2 tbsp batter amount and pour onto pan.
- Cook one side for 30-45 seconds and then flip to the other side.
Enjoy with your favorite toppings! I added lots of fruit, coconut yogurt, shine organics drizzle & maple syrup.

Document Type: Feature article
As advances in material technology and structural efficiency find reflection in structures that are lighter, more slender, and more daring architecturally, design teams must focus more than ever on controlling vibration to ensure safe, comfortable conditions. Damping systems are gaining popularity as a means of controlling the vibrations of civil structures by improving the structures' ability to dissipate dynamic energy. Four projects where damping systems have been, or are being, implemented are the Bellagio bridges, in Las Vegas; One Wall Centre, in Vancouver; the Trump World Tower, in New York City; and Taipei Financial Center, in Taipei, Taiwan. In the latter building, the design team turned the 730 ton (660 Mg) tuned mass damper into a sculptural/architectural component, a sphere suspended by flexible steel cables that will be surrounded by three levels of restaurants, bars, and observation decks. One may produce a semiactive damper by making one of the parameters of a passive system active—by controlling a tuned mass damper with variable tuning by means of a computer and instrumentation system, for example. Fully active dampers, on the other hand, make use of computers to control sensors and actuators on the structure to produce forces that counteract the externally applied forces. Semiactive and active dampers, however, have several disadvantages when compared with passive systems.

Kudos to the San Francisco Board of Supervisors for passing the first law in the U.S. intended to help citizens (otherwise known as consumers, but actually human beings) to more easily choose a cell phone with a lower level of electromagnetic radiation (EMR).
It's a start, and our hats are off to these courageous human beings who voted, 10-1, to mandate that stores selling cell phones post plainly visible information about the levels of radiation emitted by each cell phone they sell.
It amounts to a warning about cell phone radiation to those who are listening.
Although at this stage the law is not final, the Board voted 10 to 1 in favor in spite of intense lobbying against it from the cell phone industry.
From the audience, Ellie Marks, whose husband Alan has a brain tumor that his doctors believe was caused by his extensive use of cell phones, cheered the vote. KTVU.com quotes Mrs. Marks' comment: "What it really means is we are standing up to an industry that is not telling the truth."
Even though there is some difference of opinion about the dangers to human health posed by EMR, there is abundant evidence that it causes brain tumors and affects our bodies on a cellular level.
It's vital that you find out more about how to protect yourself from harmful EMR.

In a revolutionary move, Loews Hotels is the first company to introduce room reservations via Twitter. According to a PhoCusWright's study, 34% of hotel room revenue comes from online and mobile bookings, so Loews Hotels Social Booking will take this online booking process a step further. Consumers can contact Loews Hotels using the handle @Loews_Hotels and hashtag "#BookLoews" to reach a Loews Travel Planner. The Loews Travel Planner then Tweets a link to a chat via WebsiteAlive where you can book a room at 16 of their 19 properties around the country.
Piper Stevens, Director of Social Media for Loews Hotels, explains: "We initially saw a lot of consumer activity to point them in the right direction of how to make a reservation, and we thought we could connect the dots for them and do so through social media." Leveraging social media requests for hotel information and turning them into paying clients is certainly a smart way to increase revenue, but is it worth the time and resources? We will have to wait and see…
Would you consider implementing this type of program for your hotel? Why or why not?

Join Neil George LIVE at The MoneyShow Las Vegas!

"There's a war for resources in the offing, and water is at the center of it all," says Neil George in Personal Finance. "While the earth has about 300,000 cubic miles of water, less than 10,000 are suitable for human consumption." Here's how to invest in H2O.
"As nations
start moving from third to second- or first-world status, expanding agricultural, hygienic, and consumer demand
means increased water consumption. While global demand grows, we're destroying more and more of our fresh water
reserves. The real way to profit from the water factor is to get on board the
companies that not only provide fresh water, but also treat contaminated water
for increased demand. And, of course, they must have reserves. Most of
these companies aren't US-based. But if you're willing to look at the biggies behind
the tap, investing in these global water players should position you well for
one of the biggest, lesser-known plays out there today.
"The Mecca of water is Paris, home to three of the biggies in the water world. First is Suez (SZE NYSE). The company has been around since France was in Egypt and was one of the lead contractors in building the Suez Canal. And even after Waterloo, it continues to operate on a global scale. Through development of its own water and other resource and energy businesses and acquisitions it's built itself into one of the world's biggest water and energy companies. It now operates on all continents and dominates its locally controlled water markets. Yet while it's the king, it still trades like a pauper at a mere 0.4 times trailing revenues. The reason is simple: Most investors aren't fully aware of its true assets. Buy up to 22.
"Next is Veolia (VE NYSE), a water company like Suez that predates Napoleon. Having been spun off from media and utility conglomerate Vivendi, Veolia has changed its name to reflect its true business. And that business is providing water and water services in more than 100 nations to hundreds of millions of customers throughout the globe. Like Suez, Veolia has been refocusing its business after the break up of media assets, and now it has to make investors aware of its existence and its assets and revenues, which have been climbing at swift paces recently. Yet it's still trading at huge discounts. A bargain buy, Veolia, should be tapped up to 30.
"Last in Paris is Bouygues (BOUYF Other
OTC), which through its Saur
unit operates water and water treatment facilities in almost as many markets
as Veolia. And like its peers, it's cheap and will keep pumping its own water
and treating what's sent for years and years to come. Sales are climbing,
with margins and profits accelerating at even faster paces. Yet Bouygues trades at
a discount to revenue at more than 60%, making it a buy below
"For the last big purveyor of water and water treatments we need to cross the Maginot Line to Essen, Germany where RWE (RWEOY Other OTC) is headquartered. We've been writing about this global resource giant for years; it owns some of the best in oil, gas, coal, electricity, and water. Armed with its base in Central Europe, RWE has been on the prowl for water, all while most of its peers were asleep at the wheel. The company is finally getting noticed, but mostly for its oil. Yet as more and more in the market figure out that water is what we really need, RWE will be less of a bargain than it currently is. Trading for half the value of trailing sales and paying a nice 3.2% dividend yield, RWE is a buy up to 50.
"While not cheap, if you want to own a local US water company, it should be Northeastern-based Aqua America (WTR NYSE). It operates in more than a dozen states and draws water from both its own rights and those based on long-term grants and contracts. But this comes at a great expense- it trades at a whopping over five times trailing sales. Aqua America is a buy compared to its US peers, at prices up to 20.
"Meanwhile, we'd point out that most of the world's water is salty. Consolidated Water (CWCO NASDAQ) operates reverse osmosis to make salt water potable in tourist-rich islands in the Caribbean. It's valued as expensively as Aqua America, but will only get more so as fresh water becomes more scarce. Consolidated Water is a bit of a speculative buy up to 20.
"Finally, bottled water commands a thirsty market as well. While Coca-Cola and Pepsi have their hands in this game, Nestle (NSRGY Other OTC) is king in the bottled-water business. The company controls key brands that dominate global bottled water including Perrier and San Pellegrino, Arrowhead, and many others, Nestle not only owns water reserves in Europe, but around the globe. And it's well versed at catering to local market needs- from the first tier to the bottom tier. And what's more, you also get a great collection of food and consumer goods. Nestle is a buy up to 70."

So far I have a conditional provide from Coventry College and I am ready to listen to from Northumbria. Nonetheless these would be 4-yr BA(Hons) courses and after reading your blog I am starting to worry that age will change into an issue for me, so I not too long ago found SPD's one-yr course in Automobile Design Tools and the subsequent Grasp in Automotive Design which sounds like a quicker option. I heard about IAAD as well but I'm undecided if the course is in English. ACCD and CCS could be nice of course however the non-public American faculties are approach beyond my finances.
I have discovered my new mechanic for so long as I dwell in Columbus, OH. The owner (Matt) was very useful and upfront with my challenge. He was keen to take me in the storage and show me exactly what the issue was with my automotive and what I wanted to do. He was very upfront and trustworthy. He also was compassionate when it came to my scenario (previous car I am making an attempt to get rid of quickly and do not need to spend a lot of money on). He solely did what he had to do and never tried to promote me something I did not want. I have been swindled by other mechanics previously, however I know I will not be now that I've discovered One Call Mechanic.

Leviathan (/lɨˈvaɪ.əθən/; Hebrew: לִוְיָתָן</span>, Modern Livyatan, Tiberian Liwyāṯān ; "twisted, coiled") is a sea monster referenced in the Tanakh, or the Old Testament.
The word has become synonymous with any large sea monster or creature. In literature (e.g., Herman Melville's Moby-Dick) it refers to great whales, and in Modern Hebrew, it simply means "whale". It is described extensively in Job 41 and mentioned in Job 3:8, Amos 9:2, Psalm 74:13-24, Psalm 104:26 and Isaiah 27:1.
The Leviathan is mentioned six times in the Tanakh, with Job 41:1–34 being dedicated to describing him in detail:[1]
- 1 Can you pull in the leviathan with a fishhook or tie down his tongue with a rope?
- 2 Can you put a cord through his nose or pierce his jaw with a hook?
- 3 Will he keep begging you for mercy? Will he speak to you with gentle words?
- 4 Will he make an agreement with you for you to take him as your slave for life?
- 5 Can you make a pet of him like a bird or put him on a leash for your girls?
- 6 Will traders barter for him? Will they divide him up among the merchants?
- 7 Can you fill his hide with harpoons or his head with fishing spears?
- 8 If you lay a hand on him, you will remember the struggle and never do it again!
- 9 Any hope of subduing him is false; the mere sight of him is overpowering.
- 10 No-one is fierce enough to rouse him. Who then is able to stand against me?
- 11 Who has a claim against me that I must pay? Everything under heaven belongs to me.
- 12 I will not fail to speak of his limbs, his strength and his graceful form.
- 13 Who can strip off his outer coat? Who would approach him with a bridle?
- 14 Who dares open the doors of his mouth, ringed about with his fearsome teeth?
- 15 His back has rows of shields tightly sealed together;
- 16 Each is so close to the next that no air can pass between.
- 17 They are joined fast to one another; they cling together and cannot be parted.
- 18 His snorting throws out flashes of light; his eyes are like the rays of dawn.
- 19 Firebrands stream from his mouth; sparks of fire shoot out.
- 20 Smoke pours from his nostrils as from a boiling pot over a fire of reeds.
- 21 His breath sets coals ablaze, and flames dart from his mouth.
- 22 Strength resides in his neck; dismay goes before him.
- 23 The folds of his flesh are tightly joined; they are firm and immovable.
- 24 His chest is hard as rock, hard as a lower millstone.
- 25 When he rises up, the mighty are terrified; they retreat before his thrashing.
- 26 The sword that reaches him has no effect, nor does the spear or the dart or the javelin.
- 27 Iron he treats like straw and bronze like rotten wood.
- 28 Arrows do not make him flee, sling stones are like chaff to him.
- 29 A club seems to him but a piece of straw, he laughs at the rattling of the lance.
- 30 His undersides are jagged potsherds, leaving a trail in the mud like a threshing-sledge.
- 31 He makes the depths churn like a boiling cauldron and stirs up the sea like a pot of ointment.
- 32 Behind him he leaves a glistening wake; one would think the deep had white hair.
- 33 Nothing on earth is his equal—a creature without fear.
- 34 He looks down on all that are haughty; he is king over all that are proud.
In Psalm 74 God is said to "break the heads of Leviathan in pieces" before giving his flesh to the people of the wilderness. in Psalm 104 God is praised for having made all things, including Leviathan; and in Isaiah 27:1 he is called the "wriggling serpent" who will be killed at the end of time.[2]
Ancient Near Eastern origins
Sea serpents feature prominently in the mythology of the Ancient Near East, attested as early as the 3rd millennium BCE in Sumerian iconography depicting the myth of the god Ninurta overcoming the seven-headed serpent. It was relatively common for ancient near-eastern mythology to include a cosmic battle between a creator god and chaos god of the sea, usually in the form of a dragon or sea serpent. In this type of myth, the battle represented the creation of order out of chaos, as represented by the sea serpent.[3] Often, the battle between deity and dragon pre-dated creation, as in the Babylonian myth of the god Marduk's battle with the serpent goddess Tiamat. When she was defeated, Marduk used the body of Tiamat to create the heavens and the earth.[4] In the Baʿal cycle of the Canaanite religion, Ba'al conquers Yam (meaning "sea") in order to be enthroned as the leader of the Canaanite pantheon.[5] In the Ugaritic texts, the dragon Lotan, or possibly another of Yam's helpers, is given the epithets "wriggling serpent" and "mighty one with the seven heads".
As early as 1894, scholars began to note the similarity of these earlier stories and the references to the sea serpent Leviathan's battle with Yahweh found in the Tanakh.[3] Isaiah 27:1 uses similar phrases to describe Leviathan (although in this case the name "Leviathan" may refer to an unnamed historical/political enemy of Israel rather than the original serpent-monster). However, in Psalm 104, Leviathan is not described as harmful in any way, but simply as a creature of the ocean, part of God's creation. It is possible that the authors of the Job 41:2–26, on the other hand, based the Leviathan on descriptions of Egyptian animal mythology where the crocodile is the enemy of the solar deity Horus (and is subdued either by Horus, or by the Pharaoh). This is in contrast to typical descriptions of the sea monster trope in terms of mythological combat.[2] It is likely that authors of these later books had attempted to naturalize Leviathan as part of a process transforming understanding of it from a serpent god of chaos, to a demon, and finally to a non-supernatural animal.[3][6]
In later Jewish literature
Later Jewish sources describe Leviathan as a dragon who lives over the Sources of the Deep and who, along with the male land-monster Behemoth, will be served up to the righteous at the end of time.
When the Jewish midrash (explanations of the Tanakh) were being composed, it was held that God originally produced a male and a female leviathan, but lest in multiplying the species should destroy the world, he slew the female, reserving her flesh for the banquet that will be given to the righteous on the advent of the Messiah (B. B. 74b).
Rashi's commentary on Genesis 1:21 repeats the tradition:
the...sea monsters: The great fish in the sea, and in the words of the Aggadah (B.B. 74b), this refers to the Leviathan and its mate, for He created them male and female, and He slew the female and salted her away for the righteous in the future, for if they would propagate, the world could not exist because of them. הַתַּנִינִם is written. [I.e., the final "yud," which denotes the plural, is missing, hence the implication that the Leviathan did not remain two, but that its number was reduced to one.]- [from Gen. Rabbah 7:4, Midrash Chaseroth V'Yetheroth, Batei Midrashoth, vol 2, p. 225].[7]
In the Talmud Baba Bathra 75a it is told that the Leviathan will be slain and its flesh served as a feast to the righteous in [the] Time to Come, and its skin used to cover the tent where the banquet will take place. The festival of Sukkot (Festival of Booths) therefore concludes with a prayer recited upon leaving the sukkah (booth): "May it be your will, Lord our God and God of our forefathers, that just as I have fulfilled and dwelt in this sukkah, so may I merit in the coming year to dwell in the sukkah of the skin of Leviathan. Next year in Jerusalem."[8]
The enormous size of the Leviathan is described by Johanan bar Nappaha, from whom proceeded nearly all the aggadot concerning this monster: "Once we went in a ship and saw a fish which put his head out of the water. He had horns upon which was written: 'I am one of the meanest creatures that inhabit the sea. I am three hundred miles in length, and enter this day into the jaws of the Leviathan'" (B. B. l.c.).
When the Leviathan is hungry, reports Rabbi Dimi in the name of Rabbi Johanan, he sends forth from his mouth a heat so great as to make all the waters of the deep boil, and if he would put his head into Paradise no living creature could endure the odor of him (ib.). His abode is the Mediterranean Sea; and the waters of the Jordan fall into his mouth (Bek. 55b; B. B. l.c.).
In a legend recorded in the Midrash called Pirke de-Rabbi Eliezer it is stated that the fish which swallowed Jonah narrowly avoided being eaten by the Leviathan, which eats one whale each day.
The body of the Leviathan, especially his eyes, possesses great illuminating power. This was the opinion of Rabbi Eliezer, who, in the course of a voyage in company with Rabbi Joshua, explained to the latter, when frightened by the sudden appearance of a brilliant light, that it probably proceeded from the eyes of the Leviathan. He referred his companion to the words of Job xli. 18: "By his neesings a light doth shine, and his eyes are like the eyelids of the morning" (B. B. l.c.). However, in spite of his supernatural strength, the leviathan is afraid of a small worm called "kilbit", which clings to the gills of large fish and kills them (Shab. 77b).[9]
In the eleventh century piyyut (religious poem), Akdamut, recited on Shavuot (Pentecost), it is envisioned that, ultimately, God will slaughter the Leviathan, which is described as having "mighty fins" (and, therefore, a kosher fish, not an inedible snake or crocodile), and it will be served as a sumptuous banquet for all the righteous in Heaven.
The Leviathan of the Middle Ages was used as an image of Satan, endangering both God's creatures—by attempting to eat them—and God's creation—by threatening it with upheaval in the waters of Chaos.[10] St. Thomas Aquinas described Leviathan as the demon of envy, first in punishing the corresponding sinners (Secunda Secundae Question 36). Peter Binsfeld likewise classified Leviathan as the demon of envy, as one of the seven Princes of Hell corresponding to the seven deadly sins. Leviathan became associated with, and may originally have referred to, the visual motif of the Hellmouth, a monstrous animal into whose mouth the damned disappear at the Last Judgement, found in Anglo-Saxon art from about 800, and later all over Europe.[11][12]
The Young Earth creationist opinion is that Leviathan and Behemoth are names given to dinosaurs which they believe existed in Biblical times.[13][14][unreliable source?]
In LaVeyan Satanism, according to the author of The Satanic Bible, Anton Szandor LaVey, Leviathan represents the element of Water and the direction of West. The element of Water in Satanism is associated with life and creation, and may be represented by a Chalice during ritual. In The Satanic Bible, Leviathan is listed as one of the Four Crown Princes of Hell. This association was inspired by the demonic hierarchy from The Book of the Sacred Magic of Abra-Melin the Mage. The Church of Satan uses the Hebrew letters at each of the points of the Sigil of Baphomet to represent Leviathan. Starting from the lowest point of the pentagram, and reading counter-clockwise, the word reads "לִוְיָתָן". Translated, this is (LVIThN) Leviathan.[15] In demonology, the Leviathan is one of the seven princes of Hell (envy) and its gatekeeper (see Hellmouth).

Jetblue + Gladly's Customer Experience Platform
Company: Gladly, San Francisco, CA
Company Description: Gladly is a customer service platform that focuses on people at the heart of it, not tickets or cases. Built for the 21st century consumer, Gladly enables companies to converse seamlessly across voice, email, messaging, chat and social media. Agents are empowered, customers feel known, and companies increase love, loyalty and lifetime value through consistently positive experiences.
Nomination Category: Customer Service & Call Center Awards Achievement Categories
Nomination Sub Category: Award for Innovation in Customer Service - Computer Industries
Nomination Title: Jetblue + Gladly's Customer Experience Platform Put People at the Heart of it
Tell the story about your organization's innovations in customer service since the beginning of July 2016 (up to 650 words). Focus on specific accomplishments, and relate these accomplishments to past performance or industry norms. Be sure to mention obstacles overcome, innovations or discoveries made, and outcomes:
Gladly is reinventing customer service to put people at the center of it, not tickets or cases.
21st-century consumers today are always on and on every channel. They reach out on Facebook, tweet, chat, and text at all times, any time, and they expect to talk to companies the same way they talk to their friends and family.
Gladly has built a customer service platform that supports that - one that puts customers at the focus, instead of a ticket or case number. Imagine starting a conversation with a customer service agent over email, then seamlessly moving to text, and when you finally talk over the phone, you can pick up right where you left off. With Gladly, companies can have these kinds of conversations with their customers without skipping a beat.
Bridging the Gap
Gladly bridges the gap between the experience that customers expect, and the exceptional service companies yearn to deliver, but never had the technology to support.
Most of today's customer service platforms were built in the 1990s, when the methods to communicate were simple and singular. Unfortunately, much of the fundamental foundation of these platforms has not changed over the past 20 years; instead, legacy platforms rely on piecing together single-channel solutions, resulting in siloed customer interactions. For companies, this means they have one solution for voice, another solution for email, and another solution for chat, and no single thread that ties them all together. For customers, it means needing to repeat their issue every time they reach out on a different channel, or to a different agent.
In addition, these platforms rely on tickets or case numbers to help them keep track of every communication, resulting in a disjointed and often frustrating experience for customers.
In today's competitive, all-digital climate, where customer experience has become the key to survival, this simply isn't good enough.
Seamless Experience, No Matter the Channel
Gladly's approach is different. Gladly is a cloud-based communication platform, that brings email, phone, chat, text, and social channels altogether into a single place so every conversation is always connected to a customer, no matter the channel.
If a customer reaches out on email, then switches over to chat, and follows up over Facebook messenger, the conversation stays with the customer at the center. No matter which agent is assisting the customer, they always have the entire history of that person right there in front of them.
Say Hello to Happy Customers and Goodbye to Tickets and Case Numbers
When customers are treated as people instead of numbers, customers have a better, more personalized experience, and agents can spend more time building empathetic relationships, and less time digging through cases and tickets to understand who they are and what their issue is.
Bringing Humanity Back to Air Travel: Gladly and JetBlue
Recently, Gladly proudly announced JetBlue as an enterprise customer who will leverage technology to help their team focus on what matters most - people.
JetBlue is replacing their legacy systems and using Gladly as the platform to tie together customer conversations over email and phone as well as expand to new channels like chat and text in the future.
From its founding mission to "bring humanity back to air travel", JetBlue has continuously innovated on what great service looks like. And they chose Gladly, based on the strong alignment of their shared vision for the future of customer service, after evaluating over 100 technology solutions presented to them.
Today, Gladly is being used at JetBlue with the plan of a full rollout to their nearly 3,000 customer support agents, what they call crew members, so customers can communicate the way they want to communicate, while agents can stay focused on the most important piece of it all - the customer at the center.
Gladly is changing the game by enabling companies to treat people as humans, not numbers.

The month of luv is upon us y'all, and whether you've got a Valentine or not, we've got plenty of tunes to celebrate with that will make you want to either run around kissing people or cry into your ice cream. How great is music, right?
Sure, not all of these songs are actually happy love songs, but they're relationship-based and that's what counts. My favorite? "Body Like a Back Road." My boy Sam made us wait two years for new music, but let me tell ya, that wait was worth it. I may or may not have listened to this song on repeat for an entire day when it was released, and I may or may not be doing the same thing now bc I am slightly addicted to this song and will not be judged for it.
Also I just need to take a minute to talk about Julia Michaels, who is one of my songwriting idols (she's written on songs like "Sorry" and "Hands to Myself") and is really goals all around. Because of her ridiculous track record, I knew anything from her would be good, but y'all, "Issues" is great. That beat though! Someone choreograph a dance to this pls and thank you.
And if you, like myself, are feeling extra anti-Valentine's Day, click play on K.Flay and let your angst run wild. Bai!

I was going to upload the 24/96 file of the Wagner (also retain the Dvorak) as a comparison for the 24/48 - but I thought the chances of anyone indicating that they could hear an improvement would be NIL..and these aren't the best recordings to discern a difference (file size is halved with 24/48) - but I thought the 24/96 was 'freer'.ReplyDelete
Some 30 years ago, this would've been amongst the most valuable LP's. In the London 'Gramex' the price tag on the equally short-lived 'Concert Classics' 1960's reissue was £50..but then came along, emerging from the paddy-fields, another type of 'collector'..who've elevated some pretty common violin/cello LP's to £1000, or more.
Attenborough went into a care home..his stuff was sold-off in London - but the LP's (which he got as freebies, from EMI....almost all had 'Factory Sample' stickers) were auctioned in Rugby..probably going for pennies/LP..some sold on eBay for £300.
On a separate note: whilst editing this (never washed) LP, something occured to me that I'd considered before..and that was maybe my Stroke had its foundations in a blood-clot - essentially caused by Deep Vein Thrombosis..as I've many times sat, near immobile, for many hours..hence previous comments about this being an 'unhealthy' activity (sic)..and will run the idea past the Consultant, sometime..and if there's conceivably a link (I'd edited the other Beecham on Historical just a week before - and did experience a numb left foot (still a bit swollen) around that time..and clots can 'shift', maybe over time..) then I will not hesitate to kill-off these blogs......

I had a deep vein thrombosis on a cramped 3hour flight. I have not had another: medical advice was take 1 baby aspirin daily with or without warfarin (different mechanisms of action), and wear pressure stockings when likely to be immobile for hours on end, as in car or plane travel- or in disc transcription. If you had DVT you'd know it: in my case a severe limp and pain in one leg. Fortunately the clot did not travel.ReplyDelete
Could frequently beat 3hours...ReplyDelete
Apparently, my Basilar Artery is 'relatively narrow' - so combined with naturally high BP this seems quite possible.
Maybe I'll get very close to 100% recovery..as after 10weeks only have residual/modest arm/leg numbness/weakness - 'slowish' finger action - facial muscles tire fairly quickly.. but no 'droop'..giddyness almost vanished...
...but won't make the 'same mistake' again - as now realize that I'm not 'indestructible'..
The 1963 EMG appraisal is however broadly accurate: heard via proper equipment it has diminished transparency compared to his EMI commercial recordings; but there's still a sense of 'being there' (the powerful tympani in the Dvorak are very similar to the ALP of Sibelius 2 from 1954) - however the 1982 Fonit-Cetra Italian LP's of the 1959 Berlioz Requiem are superior. Beecham's way with Dvorak is not really to my taste - mostly gentle- with a whipped-up finale - very similar to the 'Symphonic Variations' from 1954.. He's better in Tchaikovsky (the original 1954 Philips LP of the 2nd Symphony sounds very fine), IMO.ReplyDelete
Congratulations on what seems to be a fine recovery: I hope that things continue to go well with you!ReplyDelete
Your catalogue of recordings is admirable in every way! Project Gutenberg Canada would be interested in offering a second home for your recordings. This would be intended as a complement, or backup, for Pristine Classics, certainly not a replacement! But our site is stable, popular, and completely noncommercial: we could help ensure that your fine recordings never vanish from the internet. Naturally we would give full credit, and for each recording provide a link to Pristine Classics so people can explore your site. Please drop us a line so we can discuss this further:
Again, best wishes for a complete recovery,

A cyclist is determined to continue with a 2,000 mile charity bike ride from Burnley to Corfu despite being beset by thefts, problems with his bike and suffering from heat exhaustion.
John Wilson (55), from Ightenhill, started the gruelling challenge on June 22nd in aid of the British Heart Foundation.
However, the tough journey has been made a lot tougher.
Firstly, a floral wreath which John had planned to lay on the grave of his wife's uncle was stolen from his bike while he was on the ferry between England and France.
Then he had an issue with the spokes on his rear wheel which caused him to keep stopping.
And, most recently, John was the victim of a second theft when his helmet, with a camera attached, was stolen while he was at a train station.
But John's wife Shirley says he is still going on despite the setbacks and will now be in
Italy after going over St Gotardo Pass in the Alps.
"He's been plagued with bad luck but he's romping ahead with more confidence now. He's met other foreign cyclists on his travels who have been friendly and very helpful to him.
"As well as the issues with his bike he's had to deal with the very high temperatures we've had in recent weeks which has been unbearable at times, however it has cooled down now fortunately."
The unfortunate incident with the helmet happened when John arrived in Lucerne in Switzerland and took his helmet off for a breather and rested it on the back of his bike.
Less than a minute later it was stolen, along with the attached camera, by a group of backpackers who immediately boarded a train which departed straight away.
Shirley added: "The helmet is not a problem but the worse part was his GoPro camera was stolen with it and that was loaned to him from Accrington and Rossendale College.
"The students from the college were filming the journey so they could make a film to show at a festival later in the year.
"As for the wreath, he still stopped off at the cemetery in Caudry despite the wreath he was carrying to lay at my uncle's grave was stolen.
"Unfortunately there was nothing he could do at the time because everyone was quickly ushered off the ferry and he didn't see anyone who he could complain to."
Despite all the setbacks, John has just completed the most demanding part of his journey, a 7,000 ft climb over the Alps before coming down the other side of the mountain range in Milan.
Now he will cycle through Italy before catching another ferry to Corfu where he will bike over more mountains and will finally complete the journey in the beach resort of Arillas.
John, who is a full-time student at Accrington and Rossendale College, embarked on the journey on June 22nd which was expected to take 34 days, meaning he is due to arrive in Arillas on July 26th.
He decided to raise money for the charity after suffering a heart attack in 2012.
Afterwards he went into a deep depression but he says the British Heart Foundation helped him through this time, and he felt that he wanted to give something back.
Anyone who is interested in donating can do so by visiting John's website at www.burnleyretredz.co.uk or by visiting his Just Giving page at www.justgiving.com/btredz.

Egypt Hiking Sin Taxes
July 7, 2014 Taxation in Egypt
CAIRO – Tobacco and alcohol is about to become significantly more expensive in Egypt, as the government hopes that hiking taxes on these products will help it close the national budget gap.
From July 7th the taxes levied on the sale of all alcohols and tobacco products in Egypt will be hike significantly, with some products now seeing a tax of as much as 200 percent.
The tax on tobacco products will vary based on whether the cigarettes were produced in Egypt or imported, with locally produced cigarettes now being subjected to a levy based on the retail price of the product, with packs of cigarettes costing less than EGP 9 seeing an extra charge of EGP 1.75, while those selling at a price of between EGP 9 and EGP 15 facing an additional tax of EGP 2.25, while a charge of EGP 2.75 is applied to more expensive products.
Imported cigarettes will also be subject to an additional tax of percent of their respective retail price, in addition to the same tiered levy applied to the sale of local products.
Alcohol taxes have also been raised, with a new 200 percent tax to be applied to the sale of local and imported beers, and a tax of 150 percent on the sale of any wine or spirit.
The taxes on alcohol and tobacco are intended to work in tandem with a number of other tax measured implemented by the government over the last month aimed at reducing the national budget deficit by 2 percent to 10 percent of GDP by the end of the next fiscal year.

You can listen to all the songs from the CD... and that's not normally the case with music and CDs and the Internet these days. You can't download any other 20th compilations anyway, not in their entirety. This one includes songs from Brave Radar, The Desks, James Sherley, James Bagley and Richard Karlsson. I like the songs!
