Aderonke Eko-Aderinoye is a young ambitious Nigerian farmer, who left her banking job to start farming business. She was the winner of the Wimbiz Impact Investment Competition in 2015 and also winner of Tony Elumelu Enterpreneurship Programme in 2015. She was the finalist in British Council Enterprise Challenge in 2016.
A graduate of Biochemistry from the University of Lagos, and with over 6 years' experience in agriculture, Aderonke is the face of Africa's next generation of farmers.
Aderonke holds a certificate in Agriculture, Economics and Nature from the University of Western Australia with over four years' of experience in various roles ranging from business development, marketing, electronic banking and customer support in the Nigerian Banking sector.
As the founder of Agrihub Nigeria, she has embarked on an ambitious project to change the farming system for small holder farmers in Nigeria and indeed Africa with Ivory Green City (IGC) agricultural estate scheme, which is a go-to place for new generation small scale farmers providing them with space to grow crops, store, process their produce.
Here, they also acquire relevant training on site for improving productivity and generating sustainable profit-making business.
"If farmers in a village come together and clear about ten hectares of land at once, that will bring down the overhead cost of production for everyone. Profit would definitely be maximised and more ideas would be generated.
In her own words she tells us:
"I discovered my love for agric in a geography class in SS2, or I would say, I received the call to Agriculture then, I tried to study agriculture in university, but was discouraged from studying it because my agric teacher then told me to see the President, Olusegun Obasanjo who he said was a successful farmer but did not study agriculture. He he advised I studied something else as this did not stop me from having a farm in future if that was my overall objective. I started working on my first farm in Epe immediately, growing and processing cassava and oil palm but couldn't stay there for too long because there was no funding for the farm.
I turned to fashion business to raise money but one of my major deals went bad and I became bankrupt, I got a job in the bank around that time and I proceeded to work in the bank for close to five years.While at the bank, I tried several agricultural ventures and lost quite a lot of money while at it, I realized to run a successful agric venture you need to do it full time.
I won the Tony Elumelu Entrepreneurship program 2015 and used the seed capital to start afresh."
What are the challenges you've been facing as a young farmer?
Challenges in agriculture are many. But for women, the principal problem is that of insecurity. In 2009 when I first started,that was after my service year, I was managing a farm in Epe, Lagos State. I had to go there by myself. I discovered a lot of discrepancies and in fact uncovered several corrupt practices, which I made known to the owner. One day, the owner of the farm told me she wasn't comfortable being there alone to work on the farm because of the farm-hands issues. She was afraid that the workers could attack and in fact kill me. And so, I had to stop. But I was not discouraged.
In addition, finance is another major problem in farming. It is not out of place to start small. One can. But in order to become successful, farming must be done in volumes, large quantity. You need large economies of scale for farming to be relatively profitable. There are a lot of peasant farmers all around who depend heavily on subsistence method of farming. And as such, they cannot grow what will sustain them in a long term. But if everybody could be brought to work together, there will be a large economy of scale. For example, if farmers in a village come together and clear about ten hectares of land at once, that will bring down the overhead cost of production for everyone. Profit would definitely be maximised and more ideas would be generated.
Also, there is the issue of storage. Farmers can't store after harvest because there is no power. Also, there is the challenge of no standards in Nigeria. If you don't have standards, it will be difficult to sell. For example, I have a basket of tomatoes to sell. I can't allocate it to a buyer until I take the basket to the buyer. I can't say there is fifty kilogram (kg) of tomatoes unless the buyer sees what type of tomatoes. So I can't negotiate before my goods get there. The buyer will first say 'let me see' before negotiation begins. But if standard is put in place, it will be easier for farmers and they won't have to always be at the mercy of the buyers. They don't have to be at the point of sales all the time.

Mark Strong has revealed that his character in the upcoming DC Comics adaptation of Green Lantern will eventually follow the path of the comic book series and become a villain.
Strong plays Sinestro, a character who is eventually exiled from the Green Lantern Corps in the comic book series and ends up forming his own team of villains.
"Well, famously he's the kind of arch nemesis of Hal Jordan, but in this one he is the greatest of the Green Lanterns and [Jordan's] mentor," Strong explained to DS at the Jameson Empire Movies Awards this weekend. "But everybody knows he goes over to the dark side."
Strong also commented on his character's look being based on that of The Pink Panther actor David Niven, admitting that it was odd to play an alien who has a pencil moustache and a widow's peak.

What you can learn from Mespa
Slow down, take a breath, and enjoy the countryside, where life takes on a peaceful more gentle pace. Quilting is one of those things, along with knitting and taffy pulling, that seems like it should be reserved for older women from pioneer days. Contrary to this stereotype, Denyse Schmidt of Denyse Schmidt Quilts is a modern woman born and raised in central Massachusetts who simply has a passion (and a talent) for patchwork.
She was raised in a family where hand-making things was normal: her father and mother made furniture and clothes in their spare time, and while they never made a career out of their talents, Denyse was inspired to take her capacity for creation a bit further.
After studying graphic design and working in a myriad of industries, Denyse finally "patched together" her experiences to create her very own patchwork quilt company, and it's anything but old-fashioned.
Her website offers many different kinds of quilts, but the ones that caught my eye were the couture quilts. The concept behind these works hearkens back to that old-fashioned stereotype: each quilt is marked and then sent to the home of an Amish woman from a community in Minnesota. There, the quilts are handcrafted individually, usually by one woman, but sometimes by a mother-daughter team.
I have been to Amish communities in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, and I have seen some of the items that these communities sell to tourists passing through. The time and effort put into these pieces has always astounded me: nowhere to be seen are identical mass-produced items. Each piece tells a story and has a life of its own.
For those not living close to an Amish community, the service offered by Schmidt both to these people and to the Amish communities who benefit from a larger customer base is incredible.
Of course, Schmidt does not outsource all of her projects: many quilts are hand-made in her workshop in Bridgeport, CT, and she offers classes to those who would like to learn more about quilting and even try their hand at this old-fashioned craft. As Schmidt says, the Amish lifestyle has an "emphasis on simplicity and a slower pace," and these qualities can be attractive to those of us still making our way in this fast-paced world. To offer these qualities of life to others through quilting is a recipe for success.

NEW YORK (MarketWatch) -- Sears Holdings Corp.'s SHLD, -2.59% Chief Executive Louis D'Ambrosio received a compensation package worth $9.9 million last year, according to a proxy filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
D'Ambrosio, who joined the company in February 2011, received a base salary of $931,000. His stock awards were $8 million and his bonus was $150,000.
Other compensation was $852,000, primarily attributable to D'Ambrosio's use of chartered aircraft for travel to and from the greater metropolitan Philadelphia area, where he lives, and the greater metropolitan Chicago area, where Sears is based, as well as the cost of two commercial flights to and from the same location.

on starting up I get a blue screen ...
Checking file system on C:
Type of file system is NTFS
One of your discks needs to be checked for consistancy. You may cancel the disck check....etc
CHKDSK is verifying file (stages 1of3)...
CHKDSK is verifying indexes (stage 2of 3)...
0 percent completed
and thats where it freezes. nothing happens after that.
I know nothing about computers
what's happened is it broken and can a computer shop fix it?
You may have a failing hard drive or a corrupt operating system. A Reputable shop should be able to fix it. Hard drives are cheaper than they used to be, and the data can likely be saved if it came to that. Just be sure to pick a reputable person.
Thanks so much for the reply.
After a LONG time it just all of a sudden started to count down and has gone through the check and started XP ok.
BUT does that mean somethings up, and I should I go get a new hard drive?, It is noe 4 years old

Washington Nationals vs. Colorado Rockies Pick-Odds-Prediction - 7/1/14
Colorado Rockies (36-46) at Washington Nationals (43-38)
MLB Baseball: Tuesday, July 1, 2014 at 7:05 pm (Nationals Park)
Christian Friedrich (L) (0-2) (8.100) vs. Stephen Strasburg (R) (6-6) (3.697)
The Line: Washington Nationals -250 / Colorado Rockies +210 --- Over/Under: 7.5 See the Latest Odds
TV: MASN, ROOT-Rocky Mountain
The Washington Nationals have their sights set on first in the National League East with another win over the Colorado Rockies.
Colorado has been fading for weeks with neither their arms and bats able to right the ship. That trend continued in a 7-3 defeat at Washington on Monday. The Rockies late inning work on the mound did them in here with Yohan Flande allowing three runs over 5.1 frames before Rob Scahill giving up four more in a five run 6th that blew a 2-1 lead. The Rockies posted nine hits with Troy Tulowitski and Ryan Wheeler knocking in runs. Colorado sends Christian Friedrich to the bump for the third time when he faces Washington on Tuesday. Friedrich has struggled in two outings with an 0-2 record and 8.10 ERA.
USA TODAY Sports
Washington is looking to get on another hot streak and avoid another slowdown with the idea of taking over first in the National League East and putting Atlanta in their rear view mirror. Washington logged their third straight win behind strong performances on both the mound and at the plate. Jordan Zimmermann held the Rockies attack in check with a pair of runs plated through six innings to improve to 6-4. The bats totaled nine hits and walked three times with Adam LaRoche clubbing his 12th long ball. Ian Desmond ripped a bases loaded double to drive in three in the Nats five run 5th. The Nationals turn to right hander Stephen Strasburg to the hill to contain the dangerous offense of Colorado. Strasburg is 0-2 in his last three outings with a 7.27 ERA.
I think the obvious choice is Strasburg and the Nationals but I think Strasburg comes up small at times and at the huge chalk this might be another letdown. I think the Nats have all the advantages however and hopefully exploit them...

|This is a monumental, 700-pages handbook on studies of memory, compiled by and directed to psychologists. Each "chapter" is actually an essay written by a luminary of the field. The early chapters introduce the terminology and the issues at stake. Then specialists survey work on short-term memory, memory encoding, learning, metamemory, memory at various life stages, memory disorders, etc. The book is obviously not for the casual reader. On the other hand, it is filled with valuable experimental data and references to technical literature that will help any psychologist and scholar conduct studies on memory.

#Roommates, you never know where your Prince Charming is hiding because he could be up in your local bar! One American woman is living a complete fairytale after marrying a prince she met in a D.C. bar! Talk about true life "Coming To America."
According to People, Ariana Austin, 33, met lawyer Joel Makonnen, 35, at the Pearl nightclub in Washington, D.C., and she had no idea she was speaking to royalty.
"I said: 'You guys look like an ad for Bombay Sapphire'," Joel told The New York Timesabout his opening line to Ariana when they met on the dance floor at the club in December 2005.
"Not even five minutes later I said: 'You're going to be my girlfriend.' "
The two hit off and eventually started dating and Joel eventually told her the big secret he was hiding: He's Prince Joel Makonnen, grandson of the last Emperor of Ethiopia and a direct descendent of King Solomon and the Queen of Sheba.
"It's unbeatable heritage and history," Austin told the New York Times. "It combines sheer black power and ancient Christian tradition."
Ariana secured her spot in the royal book when she married Austin on Sept. 9 in an Ethiopian Orthodox ceremony at the Debre Genet Medhane Alem Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church in Temple Hills, Maryland.

No number showed on her caller ID screen, which usually means the call is from the media or her lawyer. It was June 20 and the Winfield, IL, SLP had been waiting for this call since Jan. 16, when the U.S. Supreme Court heard her case involving the right of patients to an independent second medical opinion when a health maintenance organization (HMO) denies medical benefits. Moran took the call. It was a reporter from CBS News, requesting a reaction to the Supreme Court ruling. She said she hadn't yet heard about it. The reporter informed her of the decision in what is likely to be the only patients' rights case decided this year: "5-4, you won..." Moran's legal battle began in 1995 when she began to feel pain and numbness in her right arm and shoulder. In her private practice, which focuses on serving children and adults who use augmentative and alternative communication, the increasing pain made it difficult for her to drive, type, and talk on the phone. She was forced to decrease her caseload as her arm became nearly paralyzed. When Moran saw a primary care physician within her insurance provider's network to seek treatment, she had no idea that it would launch a series of surgeries and court cases that would take her to the Supreme Court. "This is sheer justification for that long fight," she said. "I want to educate people and get the word out that they can start getting their independent reviews from the moment they get that denial letter." The court ruled that HMOs regulated by state laws are a form of insurance as well as an employee benefit plan. The HMO "…provides health care, and it does so as an insurer," Justice David H. Souter wrote for the majority that also included Justices John Paul Stevens, Sandra Day O'Connor, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, and Stephen G. Breyer. The decision preserves similar laws approved by 42 states and the District of Columbia in response to the national patients' rights movement. The Supreme Court decision determines the extent to which state laws regulating managed care are overruled by the federal Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA), which was designed to provide regulation of employee benefit plans. Passed in 1974 before managed care became prevalent, the law does not address an insurer's responsibility to provide independent medical reviews. The law does not require "an either-or choice between health care and insurance in deciding a preemption question," Souter wrote. Illinois law has offered an independent review provided by a specialist selected by the HMO and the primary-care physician since 1987. Under that state law, if the outside reviewer says the service is medically necessary then the HMO must cover it. Moran's insurer, Rush Prudential HMO, refused to pay for her surgery after an independent medical review deemed it necessary, and said that Moran could have been treated by a cheaper procedure. Eventually, Moran underwent a 14-hour microreconstructive operation for brachial plexopathy that saved her career and quality of life. This cost $95,000 in advance, which Moran paid for by borrowing from her husband's 401(k) plan, her mother-in-law, and by maxing out credit cards. Almost a year later, the state court ordered Rush Prudential HMO to provide her with an independent medical review, which it deemed medically necessary. The HMO won in a federal district court, which agreed with the firm that the Illinois law was preempted by ERISA. But the U.S. Court of Appeals in Chicago sided with Moran, and Rush Prudential HMO appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court. "I knew that we were right and that justice would prevail," Moran said. The American Medical Association and 32 states filed amicus briefs in support of Moran's case. States are increasingly backing laws that give patients the right to ask for a medical review, and her case has been closely watched for its possible impact on the stalemated debate in Congress over a patients' bill of rights. "People really need to find out what type of plan they have whether self-insured or fully insured," Moran said. "States have independent laws, and there is still a need for a uniform law for independent review across the board." 0 Comments Submit a Comment Submit A Comment Name Comment Title Comment Could not validate captcha.

that portion of that fund. This error should not be, hereafter, repeated. The trust deed seeks to hold the trustees responsible for any diversion of the fund. This portion of the fund must not be chargeable with any expenses which are properly chargeable against the half provided for said church, and it should not be charged with more than its proportionate share of those expenses which are chargeable against the entire fund. 4. I find against the prayer of Humboldt College for decree directing payment to J. N. Prouty for labor and services, and for money expended in matters of tax sales, etc. The evidence shows that such services and payments were intended by him to be a gift to said college. His act and intent in the matter are highly commendable, but I find no basis for making such payments a charge against the trust fund. 5. Complainants, as heirs of said donors, were justified in bringing this action, and thus making this trust fund operative. The evidence does not satisfy me that the trustees of this fund have discharged their whole duty with reference to the trust committed to them. The fund has apparently been well invested, and made remunerative. But the trustees, in the more than 10 years since Humboldt College ceased its active existence, should have applied for directions as to the use to be made of this fund. Nevertheless, I do not find this a case requiring or justifying the imposing on them of the costs herein. They have not improperly resisted herein, and they have, since action brought, apparently been sincerely desirous of obtaining and obeying the decree to be rendered herein. I find, therefore, that the reasonable expenses of this action should be paid out of this fund, which their reports show has been retained in the trustees' hands, and which I find, to wit, the income, was, on November 19, 1892, $2,153.98; that is that a reasonable solicitor's fee to solicitors for complainants as also to solicitors for respondent trustees of said church, and the costs and fees properly taxable in this case, should be paid out of said trust fund. Let decree be drawn in accordance with these findings. If the solicitors' fees above named can be mutually agreed upon, the amounts so agreed may be submitted with the draught of decree for consideration of this court; and, in connection therewith, the clerk of this court will submit statement of all other costs and fees taxable herein, so that the court may be fully advised with reference to the amounts which will. under these findings, be chargeable against said trust fund as expenses of this action.

A verdict was directed for defendants, and from the judgment entered thereon plaintiff brings error. Affirmed. A. H. Wintersteen and Wayne MacVeagh, for plaintiff in error. Samuel Dickson and John G. Johnson. for defendants in error. Before ACHESON, 'Circuit Judge, and BUTLER, District Judge.
ACHESON, Circuit Judge. This action was brought to recover the sum of $5,881.41, alleged to have been wrongfully retained by the defendants from the plaintiff in settlements for foreign iron ore bought by the plaintiff from the defendants, deliverable at Philadelphia. By the terms of the written contract between the parties, dated December 3, 1885, the defendants agreed to sell to the plaintiff about 9,000 tons of ore, at a stipulated price; but this was qualified by the following distinct clause:
"Price based on freight of nine shillings per ton, buyers receiving or paying differences between that and the rate specified in bill of lading."
The sum sued for is the amount of dispatch money allowed by the terms of the several charter parties for quick dispatch in loading and unloading the carrying vessels, which the defendants had taken and retained in good faith. The circuit court excluded the evidence offered by the plaintiff to show the amount of dispatch money so received by the defendants, and directed a verdict in their favor. The judge below was of the opinion that this case is distinguishable from that of Earnshaw v. McHose, 56 Fed. Rep. 606, in which this court held that the buyer was entitled to have the dispatch money accounted for. There the clause of the contract of sale upon which the question arose was in these words:
"The above prices are based on an ocean freight rate of twelve shillings per ton; all freight over twelve shillings to be added to the invoice as part of the price of the ore, and all freight under twelve shillings to be deducted from the invoice."
The difference in the language of the two quoted clauses justifies, we think, the distinction which the circuit court made. The court read the clauEje here in question according to its natural meaning. Certainly, on. their face, the words "the rate specified in bill of lading," in the connection in which they stand, import that the rate of freight mentioned in the bill of lading shall be controlling. 'rhat was the agreed basis of settlement. It must be presumed that the parties deliberately chose these words as the expression of their intention, and we are not at liberty to disregard or modify
them. No bad faith, it.will be noticed,is imputed to the defendants. It is not pretended that the rates of freight specified in the bills of lading were unfair. It is, indeed, <tarnestly contended on behalf of the plaintiff in eJ.'ro!." that, because each bill of lading refers to a charter party, the two instruments are thereby so connected that for the purposes of this case all distinction between them is obliterated. Quoting from one of the bills of lading, as a sample of all, we find this language, (referring to the consignees, the defendants:)
"He or they paying freight for the said goods ten shillings and six pence per ton of 1,015 kilos delivered, and all other conditions as per charter party, dated London, 31 December, 1885."
The argument based on this phraseology is not convincing. -We do not see that the words "the rate specified in bill of lading" must mean the rate of freight indicated by both the bill of lading and the charter party, taken together. The two papers, while closely related, are yet distinct instruments. This the parties here have plainly recognized. It is to be observed that we are dealing with a question of the construction of a clause of the contract of sale. "That did the parties mean by the language they have seen fit to employ? They have particularized the bill of lading, and expressly made the freight rate specified therein one of the terms of their contract It is tq be assumed that they had a purpose in so doing. If they had intended to contract with reference to the rate specified in the bill of lading as it might ultimately be affected by the allowance of dispatch money under the provisions of the charter party, presumably they would have used language different from that which they adopted. The judgment of the court below is affimned.
PRESS CO., Limited, v. CITY BANK OF HARTFORD. (Circuit Court of Appeals, Third Circuit. November 3, 1893.) No. 11.
It is no defense against negotiable paper in the hands of an innocent purchaser that the payee was a foreign corporation, which had failed to comply with the statutory conditions for doing business in the state, and that the paper grew out of business transacted there by it. 56 Fed. Rep. 260, aflirmed.
Under the system of pleading established by the Pennsylvania statutE) of 1887, plaintiff's averment that he obtained negotiable paper sued on, before maturity, for value, is sufficient, when not denied, to establish bona fides; and, on a rule for judgment for want of a sufficient affidavit of defense, he is not required to further show that he WIlB rmaware of the particular illegality set up.

Translation of Horacio Quiroga story Los Inmigrantes
The man and the woman had been walking since four o'clock in the morning. The weather, broken down in the asphyxiating calm of a storm, made the nitrous vapours of the swamp even denser. The rain finally stopped and the couple, soaked to the skin, proceeded obstinately.
The water stopped flowing. The man and the woman then looked at each other with anguished despair.
"Have you the strength to walk a little further?" asked the man. "We might yet manage … "
The woman, flushed and with sunken ears, shook her head.
"Let's go," she said, reviving and continuing to walk.
But a moment later she stopped, taking hold of a branch when she started twitching. The man, walking ahead of her, turned around when he heard her moan.
"I can't … !" she murmured, her mouth twisted and covered with sweat.
The man took a long look around him and decided there was nothing that could be done. His wife was pregnant. Then, without knowing where he trod, feverish with excessive fatigue, he cut branches, spread them on the ground, and lay his wife down. He sat beside her and cradled her head in his lap.
A quarter of an hour passed in silence. Then the woman shook to such a degree that it was necessary for the man to at once muster all his massive strength to contain the body tossed violently to all sides by the eclamptic attack.
When the attack ended the man remained a moment above his wife, whose arms and knees lay as if fastened to the ground. Finally he sat up, took several hesitant steps, punched himself on the forehead, and went back to cradling the head of his wife, now plunged in a state of deep drowsiness, upon his lap.
She suffered another eclamptic attack from which she arose even more lifeless. Moments later there was another that ended her life.
The man took note of the fact when he was still astride his wife, trying with all his might to contain her convulsions. Terrified, his eyes remained fixed on the blood flecked bubbles of saliva around her mouth, which now leaked into the black cavity.
Without knowing what he was doing he touched her jaw with his finger.
"Carlota!" he said, in a featureless voice devoid of any intonation. The sound of his voice brought him back to himself and sitting up he glanced everywhere with unseeing eyes.
"Too much death," he murmured. "Too much death," he murmured again, forcing himself meanwhile to come to grips with what had happened.
Yes, they came from Europe; there was no doubt about that. They had left behind their first-born, a two-year-old. His wife was pregnant and they were on their way to Makallé with friends … The others had gone on ahead because she couldn't walk well … And in bad conditions, perhaps … perhaps his wife would've found herself in danger.
And suddenly he got a hold of himself and looked around with crazed eyes.
"Dead, here … !"
He sat once more and again rested the head of his dead wife upon his thighs. He spent the next four hours wondering what to do.
He could not think straight but with evening about to fall he brought the body of his wife upon his shoulders and began the walk home.
He went around the swamp again. The straw field seemed endless in the silver, unmoving night yet alive with the buzzing of mosquitoes. The man walked on with the same step, his neck bent, until his wife suddenly fell from his shoulders. For an instant he remained standing, rigid, before collapsing behind her.
When he awoke the sun was burning. He ate bananas from the philodendron tree though he would have preferred something more nutritious given the possibility that it might be days before he buried his wife in sacred ground.
He hoist the body anew but found his strength diminished. Wrapping it with intertwined liana vines, he made a bundle of the body and continued with less fatigue.
He walked and walked for three days, stopping, continuing anew, beneath the white-washed sky, devoured at night time by insects, drowsy from hunger, poisoned by cadaverous fogs, bent on a single obstinate idea: leaving this hostile country and salvaging his wife's adored body.
Come the morning of the fourth day he could not go on and he was scarcely able to resume walking that afternoon. But when the sun sank a profound shiver ran through his exhausted nerves. He laid his wife's corpse on the ground and sat by her side.
Night had already fallen and the monotonic buzzing of the mosquitoes filled the lonely air. The man was able to perceive them weaving their biting net upon his face; but the shivers increased without surcease from the icy marrow of his bones.
The waning ochre moon had risen at last behind the swamp. The pernicious fever rushed out.
The man threw a glance at the horrible whitish mass that lay at his side and bringing his hands to his knees sat staring straight ahead at the poisonous swamp. In the swamp's farthest reaches his delirium painted a picture of a Silesian village to which he and his wife Carlota Proening returned, happy and wealthy, to look for their adored first-born.

Transforming to a digital enterprise: An overview
Digital transformation is about bringing information into the fabric of every transaction with a client, partner, employee and process. To free up information, digital enterprises must deploy new tools, communities, ecosystems and — most important — a technology platform that enables rapid information sharing. Our Transforming to a Digital Enterprise paper series explores the digital platform, industries that are capitalizing on digital opportunities, and next steps on the journey to the digital enterprise.
Continue reading below or download the position paper
Change is everywhere, it's accelerating, and most companies today recognize that disruption has come to their industries, fueled by advances in digital technologies and more collaborative outside-in cultures. Indeed, many have already begun a digital transformation to ensure that their business is not left behind.
Digital leaders understand, however, that simply implementing certain technologies isn't going to be enough to succeed in a world that is becoming more transformed every day. To thrive on the change happening all around us, we have to view "digital" as a comprehensive shift that touches every aspect of the business, from leadership style to products and services.
True digital transformation is about bringing information into the fabric of every transaction with a client, partner, employee and process. Digital enterprises leverage information to inform decisions in ways never before possible, to outplan and outexecute rivals.
Transforming to a digital enterprise means understanding the power of contextual interactivity — that is, providing the right information at the right time. With this information at their fingertips, customers and employees are more in control — even in the face of rapid change.
Transforming to a digital enterprise also means focusing on digitizing the back office — the people and processes that unlock operational performance and agility. That is, digital enterprises can reorganize employees for information-driven collaboration, redesign IT processes for zero human touch and focus on continuous systemic improvement.
In short, being a digital enterprise means thinking bigger about digital. It's time to take the next steps on the journey to the digital enterprise.
Six things digital leaders do well
Through its research, DXC Technology's Leading Edge Forum (LEF) has defined digital transformation as not only adopting new technology but also acting and operating differently in six areas, with the customer at the center. Digital leaders:
- Recognize market trends and experiment with new technologies
- Create a market identity that makes sense in a digital world, and a strategy that maintains that identity
- Leverage IT infrastructure, information and talent outside their four walls, especially partners and customers (i.e., an "outside-in" approach)
- Reimagine their ecosystem of products and services to take advantage of digital augmentation, digital linkages between products and digital extensions into new industries
- Develop an agile business that responds quickly to threats and exploits opportunities
- Lead by focusing on value creation and risk, rather than tasks, with emphasis on platform economics, real option valuation and scenario analysis
These capabilities transcend digital technology and are the essence of the 21st century organization. (See the LEF report, "Winning in the 21st Century: A User's Guide.")
When an organization scales its digital transformation, it replaces legacy methods with automated, analytically enabled processes that extend across the enterprise, thereby reducing operational overhead, simplifying access and improving responsiveness. It focuses on standardization, robotic process automation, analytical insights, machine learning and self-healing.
These techniques require enterprises to rethink how information flows, how to promote the right information and how to govern its usage and protection. An information-driven enterprise requires a new form of enterprise operating platform.
The digital platform
Information is the most lucrative asset in the 21st century. Chief information officers (CIOs) and chief technology officers (CTOs) need to rethink the value chains in their organizations and break down information silos — again. Information "ownership" used to be the defensive strategy of business units, but what's needed today is an offensive strategy of aggressive information sharing. By reducing information friction, an enterprise can cross-link information to derive new insights, which become its assets. The organization's very processes themselves produce functional telemetry, which is meta-information that can be used for continuous improvement.
To free up this information, enterprises must deploy new tools for knowledge workers, establish new communities and ecosystems that fill information gaps, and — most importantly — develop a technology platform that enables information to be rapidly shared via application programming interfaces (APIs) that mask the constant change while providing control points for information governance.
The new enterprise digital platform comprises a set of microservices that work together to enable the enterprise to derive value from a consistent, information-driven operating model. This digital platform creates a foundation for change that enables consistent global execution.
To guide your path forward, DXC's Transforming to a Digital Enterprise position papers series explores five fundamentals of a digital platform. These are the essentials that contribute to both top-line growth and cost-based improvements, as well as continuous optimization of business processes:
- Applications: Leverage agile applications and digital experiences. Bring information into the experience to improve context, personalization and value, and use API-driven design to increase speed to market for new and existing apps.
- Cloud: Operate the enterprise in the cloud, which provides a more consumerized experience for the business with a pace, quality and standardization that cannot be matched in bespoke IT.
- Workplace: Enable secure, productive mobile employees. Deliver better, faster, richer, more collaborative and more personal interactions and transactions, while improving information security in our regulated world.
- Analytics: Operate an information-driven digital business. Information must become the currency of the organization, with analytics driving correlation and insights to improve everything, and business decisions beginning to support the move from design and perfection to rapid experimentation.
- Risk: Manage the increasing complexity of operational risk, which permeates not only security but also availability, serviceability and regulatory execution. Security risks increase as the value of information grows, but other technology risks must become part of the conversation as businesses become more reliant on technology.
Three additional papers examine how specific industries are capitalizing on digital opportunities:
- Insurance: Deliver entirely new customer experiences, harnessing analytics and automation, via products centered on well-being, safety and the achievement of personal goals.
- Healthcare: Adopt patient-centric care powered by actionable information, distilled from numerous disparate data sources, that can improve outcomes for individual patients, cohorts and populations.
- Transportation: Deploy a connected transportation platform that unifies data throughout the value chain to create new value for both passengers and cargo during the entire journey.
Across the entire business and technology landscape, streamlining enterprise processes is a must. Many enterprises have not substantially changed their core process architectures since Y2K. Yet today, processes can become more intelligent, thanks to the availability of more information. They can learn and predict, and with the right controls they can be more automated.
We are living in the second major wave of digital disruption (the first being the advent of the internet and ubiquitous email). This second wave of cloud, modern apps and analytics will usher in unprecedented levels of back-office productivity that will significantly differentiate firms on their execution.
What does a transformed organization look like?
Done correctly, digital transformation is a constant cadence of change. It's the sum of all the changes across business models, processes, technology and people.
A transformed organization is highly effective at information sharing and makes information-driven decisions on a wide scale. No longer is it just a few data scientists asking (and answering) business-shaping questions. Now the entire workforce can be augmented with artificial intelligence to glean insights for enhanced decision making while being freed from time-consuming basic tasks.
In a transformed organization, information can be accessed securely by anyone, at any time, on any device, anywhere in the world. Instead of the barriers to information often created by physical boundaries, the digital platform enables the free flow of information as well as the systems for accessing it, generating business value. APIs provide the integration fabric to allow internal and external access to data, as well as rapid development and deployment of new platform functionality.
A transformed organization recognizes the benefits of automation, robotics and straight-through processing to remove humans (and human error) from the workflow for improved accuracy, speed and reliability. The organization relies on well-considered business logic and policies to determine how data should be used. Further, it makes time for people to not only focus on process and policy improvements to the automatable components, but also dive into the information and generate business value from the weak and strong signals observed.
By having more and better information to guide decisions, transformed organizations will discover their next business opportunity, a change in user behavior they hadn't considered, the next disruption intent on taking their market share or the next security vulnerability intent on wreaking havoc — and they will have more time to counter these eventualities.
In all, the transformed organization:
- Delivers more personalized and collaborative experiences
- Recognizes that control has shifted to the consumer
- Makes better information-guided decisions, including more made by machines • Leverages automation as robots follow "digital recipes" and become faster and more accurate
- Embraces innovation as a key element of culture, driven by a desire for both topline and bottom-line differentiation
Starting or continuing the transformation
Enterprises need not — and should not — go it alone. A true partnership with collaborative experts, empowering technology and transformative ideas will accelerate your business's change and make your digital transformation successful.
We at DXC are often asked, "Where can I show incremental business value quickly?"

Black Panthers Put Bounty on Head of Zimmerman, Ho Hum
By their silence, does that mean Obama and Holder approve? I think it's hard to argue otherwise. After all, Obama said if he had a son, he would look like the victim. What the hell was the point of that if not to bring everyone into a frenzy? Apparently laws don't apply to the Black Panther party. By the way, where is La Raza in this whole situation when a Hispanic is being treated this way without being charged? Is he too "white" to matter to them? According to the NY Times, he's not "hispanic," he's a "white hispanic," whatever that means.
Eric Holder is too busy trying to prosecute white "militia members."

Version 2.0 has several changes compared with the old version.
It has been 2 years since launch, H81 chipset motherboards have received strong interest of the majority of users in Vietnam. The cheapest in the line support processor Haswell, H81 success comes from increased performance and better prices of the Pentium and Core i3 CPUs. Because of that, although the new generation Skylake is near but the motherboard manufacturers are focusing more on the investment policy and product development for H81. According to forecasts, H81 chipset is still standing and achieve high sales at least 6 months.
With a factory located in Binh Duong, ASRock is one of the firms have the ability to change the most flexible product on the needs of the Southeast Asian market. Currently ASRock H81 are 2 stocks in Vietnam are H81M-DGS (VND 1,199,000) and H81M-G (1.419 million VND). Feel 220,000 VND is still slightly higher difference between the two products, particularly in this segment was 100 thousand dollars is difficult for buyers, they decided to produce a longer code is H81M-HDS Rev Price 1,280,000 VND 2.0 - added between two brothers.
Reintroduce a bit of H81M-HDS, the old version 1.0 (VND 1.379.00 price) each motherboard is ASRock selling briskly but recently was dead by the appearance of multiple components H81M-G more , more beautiful, more substance. Cheaper and there are some minor changes in components and materials H81M-HDS 2.0 is also of concern or not? This is something we'll find out right now.
ASRock H81M-HDS Rev 2.0
Containers remain styles of ASRock motherboards for common segment, petite and gentle.
To avoid confusion for users, which clearly recommended the suffix "R2.0" in the box to distinguish it from previous versions.
This product MADE IN VIETNAM, are manufactured at the factory located in Binh Duong ASRock.
Accessories include blocking main follower, disc drivers, manuals and 2 SATA3 cables.
Product design almost unchanged compared as the old version, with dark tones familiar popular product line of ASRock. Components neatly and order. Complete capacitors are solid.
The first change that I noticed was the reduction of 1 phase CPU power, 3 phase only. This adjustment in product development plans: ASRock reduce costs and dropping 1 power phase, reorientation H81M-HDS clear that only R2.0 Pentium and Core i3, Core i5 is still fighting shoulder Game of H81M-G 5 phases.
Each power phase 2 controlled low-impedance MOSFET. Volume 3 phase with components like this is more than enough to power consumption of the Pentium and Core i3.
The next change is in the audio circuit. For Rev 2.0, the ASRock fitted dedicated audio capacitors ELNA Audio Caps instead of ordinary solid capacitors.
H81 motherboards have only two memory slots, supports Dual Channel. ASRock H81M-HDS R2.0 too. Currently, 8 GB RAM has become very popular, 2 x 8 GB is overkill for daily needs and use. Only 2 RAM slots, the region has only 1 phase power supply equipment.
4 port SATA with 2 SATA2 and SATA3 ports fit 2 ngàng 24 feet beneath the battery, which is examined under USB 3.0 line jumper. Jack layout like this is very nice to go wire, extremely neat.
Besides the PCIe x16 slot for VGA 2.0, H81M-HDS R2.0 only more x1 PCI slots for other devices such as wifi card or sound card. All equipment is manufactured Recent new use of this communication.
CMOS battery placed just above the PCIe x16 slot, very handy when you remove the clear CMOS.
HDS R2.0 H81M-equipped for all 3 outputs common form DSUB, DVI and HDMI. This is an undeniable advantage, the system is always ready to help with any screen or any TV.
ASRock H81M-HDS R2.0 configuration suited to like?
With 3 phase power, H81M-HDS R2.0 appropriate only plug the Pentium or Core i3.Coordinating with that, the most powerful graphics card GTX 750 should be used as Ti, 4 GB of internal memory or 8 GB. Therefore, this motherboard is suitable for gaming profiles and offices from 12 million back - about the price is mostly interested users to Vietnam.
In H81M-HDS R2.0, we saw the strongest decrease compared to the previous version, the 100 thousand dollars, along with the number of power phases decreased from 4 to 3. This is action aimed at reshaping strip ASRock their products, where H81M-G has assumed the position H81 premium segment, H81M-HDS also be turned down lower segment. The small segment split like this benefit to our users, may choose the most appropriate, the most suitable on demand, without having to pay for features never used.
ASRock H81M-HDS R2.0 suitable for configurations under 12 million, using Pentium or Core i3, GTX 750 graphics card from Ti or less. Products with a retail price VND 1,280,000.
- Components good, neat board layout.
- Having 3 video output port DSUB, DVI and HDMI, ready for every kind of screen and TV.
- Supports 2 USB 3.0 front panel by equipping additional ASMedia chip.
- Circuit sound equipment dedicated audio capacitors.

MORE accidents have occurred on the A82 than on the A9 in the past six years, prompting fresh calls for investment.
Figures released this week, following a Freedom of Information request, show 530 accidents occurred on the A82 between 2012 and mid-2017 – 24 more than on the A9. Although the A82 had more serious and slight accidents than the A9, there were 27 fatal accidents on the A82 last year compared to 30 on the A9.
Stewart MacLean, of the A82 Partnership, said: 'These statistics will come as no surprise to those who commute and use the road and are regularly impacted by the accident rate and death toll. 'The £3 billion investment in the A9 and the paltry sums spent on the A82 bear no comparison, despite the high traffic and accident rate.'

The crew at the Global Cycling Network is here with some advice that will help you ride faster as well as stay comfortable and upright.

Aggie Days Are Here Again
Last week I had the priviledge of seeing what Aggie Days is all about. I volunteered to take some video footage and digital pictures of the event. My purpose in doing so, is to understand a little bit about the Ag department. Next fall, one of the teachers in this department will be a part of my first group as we try to learn how to enhance our curriculums with technology.
I thought I'd experiment with Flickr, Grouper, and/or Stickem. The footage and pics I take will be my content. Hopefully, we will think of some creative uses of this technology. It could be videos of demonstrations to be used in the classroom, or a record of activities held in the course. It could be teacher and/or student created projects.
I'm just brainstorming a little here. Anyway, I'm going to try and create a Flickr Badge of all the pictures that were taken. You should see a collage of these over on the left-hand side. Click on one and you'll get a full view of the pic.

ABC and the producers of "American Idol" are reportedly at odds about the racial makeup of its still-unsettled judging panel.
So far, only Katy Perry has been confirmed for the rebooted show (for a reported $25 million payday). And according to TMZ, Luke Bryan is close to signing a contract to sit beside her.
At issue, the website reports is the third judge. Sources connected to the production tell us Fremantle wants Charlie Puth, but ABC believes there must be racial diversity on the panel.
Ritchie on list?
TMZ has this to say: We're told the network continues to have its eye on Lionel Richie, who has been in play for several months.
So far, we're told there's a standoff, but someone's gotta blink because they're almost ready to begin filming with the judges.
"And this is interesting … we're told Fremantle has taken a meeting with Troy Carter, a super manager of performers like John Legend, Nelly, Meghan Trainor, Miguel and Lady Gaga.
TMZ continued, "He's also one of the initial, big investors in Spotify. We're told one of the reasons Carter may be appealing … if ABC wins on the diversity issue, Carter wouldn't come with as big a price tag as Lionel, and the budget is almost blown.
Getting paid
Regarding that blown budget, returning host Ryan Seacrest is reportedly being paid $10 to $15 million.
Also, the sticking point with Richie's team is reportedly asking around $10 million, which is double what the show is willing to pay, according to TMZ.

Outpatient Surgery
The Aftermath, Part 6
Five days after discharge, I was crammed into a car (my leg would not bend to allow me to sit up). We made it to the surgical center where, because of an emergency surgery being performed, I had to wait about three hours as my anxiety continued to build. This was my fifth surgery on my leg, and I assumed it would be the last. That was some comfort.
They removed the antibiotic beads, cut away the scar tissue that had formed, and in general cleaned the wound out. They did suture the incision shut, so no more packing of the wound would be needed.
In the recovery room, they were generous with pain meds. After a couple hours in the recovery room, they stuffed me back in the car, still unable to sit, to endure a very long, painful ride home.
Next, came the agony of crawling up the front steps of my house with a fresh incision. I left the center on the same ineffective meds I had been on all along despite the fact that I had just had surgery. They did place me on oral antibiotics for six months.
The next few weeks were filled with appointment after appointment. Of course they were not at the same place or the same time which meant numerous trips to see the surgeon, the infectious disease doctor, the lab for tests and radiology for x-rays.
In between, I was trying to figure out how to meet my financial needs and maintain a house to live in.
I developed a routine of spending Mondays calling everyone I could think of for financial help. I would sit with the phone book making calls all the while receiving a mailbox full of nasty collection letters. No one could help. Each organization had their own reasons I didn't qualify. I was too young, too old, had no minor children in my home, owned my house, didn't work, did have a small amount of income from my retirement fund, lived in the wrong city, county, etc, and etc. Most of the rest of the week I spent in tears of anguish over what to do, as well as being in pain and agony.
Once my IV therapy was over the nurse and bath aide left, I had no help at home. I learned to eat cold food from cans. My house was beginning to resemble that of the Adam's family. Dust, dirt and cobwebs were everywhere.
It was a long summer. I was afraid to use the air conditioner as I had no way to pay for it. I was in fear of losing my house and becoming homeless. I also feared running out of food and starving.
Not once, did a neighbor stop by and ask if I could use some help. A friend of mine did come over once every week or two and do the meager shopping I could afford. Other than that, I was pretty much alone. Weeks went by when I didn't see another person. My dog was my soul source of comfort most of the time.
I did have a monthly appointment with my surgeon, who didn't seem to care about my pain. He ignored the fact that I cried every time I saw him and his routine recommendation, was to "stay the course." The problem was that he had no idea what course I was on.
To be continued…

Through the looking glass
After a few days of rain,glorious rain,the showers held off today........
On the far (southern) fence I've mounted this cane mirror ,
and I love the effect!
"One day" I'll mount a larger mirror that reflects the width of our narrow yard.
In the meantime........ I dream.
Another Clivea has bloomed! (See the tiny splash of orange at the base of the mirror?)
The Draecena,the Cordyline and the Crotons...the orange/yellow splash of colour 2/3s up the reflection are thriving.
