Pancakes at Polonia and Sandwiches with Scout…
My Detroit nieces visit their native NY every year. I call and ask what they'd like to do while they're here. Their response – "Pizza at Delizia"…"go to China Fun" …walk to the "little park" (as little girls they played in the big sprinkler at John Jay Park on hot summer days). They also loved visiting the Guiding Light studio, mostly because of the vending machine on the 4th floor! We do something new every year – a play, a museum, a walk on the High Line. But a Delizia slice, China Fun veggie dumplings and the little park are mandatory.
Tradition: "The handing down of stories, beliefs and customs from generation to generation".
Those are our NY traditions. My sister and I always meet at the Grand Central clock and start walking. Our NY tradition…
During my early New York years my phone rang every Sunday at 10 am. My dad, "casually" checking in, and hopefully bringing me a funny story from home – the best ones involved his younger sister, my Aunt Fran and Cousins Bill, Rob and Jane! When he died, my phone rang at 10am on the Sunday after I got home from his funeral. It was Aunt Fran, well aware of our Sunday morning tradition.
Detroit is a town that has been through so much turmoil, we treasure the sharing of laughter and stories and tradition – which usually involve food! One of my favorites I shared with my friend Margie. We worked at Kresge's in downtown Detroit during high school. Friday was payday and once we'd pocketed our fat paychecks we'd hurry over to Coney Island for lunch.
Right after GL was cancelled. Margie and I (with sisters Susie and Janice) paid a late night visit to the Coney Island. I'm so glad we did because Margie died suddenly six weeks later. She was a Guiding Light viewer, by the way. She got her patients at the VA hospital in Detroit hooked on GL. After she died, Susie found a bag of Soap Digests in her room, with GL articles flagged. Margie was stunned when we were cancelled. "What will I do when I'm working Thanksgiving or Christmas? My patients like to watch the holiday shows."At Guiding Light, we shared traditions with our audience…the Bauer BBQ, the funny Thanksgiving, the Christmas crawl… We also had traditions that involved pajamas, Munchkins, Ivory soap, red wine… After GL, my new traditions include pancakes at Polonia with David and sandwiches with my beloved dog Scout (and Tony, my husband). Scout's tail would thump extra hard when I walked in with that Ottomanelli's sandwich on Fridays. She loved traditions!
So many have spoken out since the latest soap cancellations were made public last week/ Spoken angrily, emotionally and eloquently… I hope the cancelled shows find a new home. I hope we support the four shows that remain. As for bringing us more "information"– soaps serve information with comfort, continuity and a little escape on the side. We remember the letters – the pregnant teens who wished for a brother like Frank, the woman with Down Syndrome who assured us that Fletcher and Holly's baby would be okay, women who saved their own lives after Bert Bauer and Lillian Raines saved theirs with early detection for cancer, mothers who learned to speak English watching soaps. About that young demo networks are seeking. The world is scary these days. You think kids are only interested in hunks and train wreck TV? The kids who came to GL wanted to meet the dads, the uncles and the big brothers – the guys they could count on. We all, young and old, want something we can count on every day.
"When we are good, we change people's lives." – Jerry ver Dorn. What a responsibility and what a joy. Soap opera might be transitioning but it has to survive somehow. It's part of our American storytelling tradition.
New York, Unplugged (Title by Tony Hurst)
Some people know a great deal about many things. I know…one or two. Number one – don't get so electronically "plugged in" that you forget to look around. I just learned how to text and as of today, own nothing that has "I" in front of it. When I walked into the Guiding Light studio with a Blackberry, one of our production coordinators laughed. With good reason… the Blackberry is in a drawer and I chat on my old flip phone, which my colleague Liz wryly refers to as "retro". I do appreciate technology. I love e-mailing friends at five am, reading my nieces Facebook postings and even chatting on Twitter. But I'm glad I'm a latecomer to the technology game. Being too plugged in would've distracted me from my favorite hobbies – eavesdropping, talking to strangers, perusing restaurant menus and looking into apartment windows. It's amazing what you can see and hear out there in the world when you're paying attention. It's particularly true in NY. So much life spills out onto the sidewalks… where to look first? Some days it's hard to look. But more often than not I see something, hear something or meet someone who changes my life. Imagine if I'd been texting when I walked by the dog adoption group on First Avenue – I wouldn't have seen Scout. If my husband Tony had been checking his e-mail in the elevator he wouldn't have seen me when the door opened – hmm, I'll have to ask him how he feels about that.
Here's the second thing I know. Don't be afraid to venture out on your own. If you can't go to an event without a date you'll miss some great events. Me, I've always loved going to the theater alone. On a Saturday afternoon in 2001 I bought myself a ticket to see "Glimmer, Glimmer and Shine" by Warren Leight. I'd loved "Side Man" and was looking forward to seeing John Spencer on stage. Halfway through Act One, I noticed the man next to me writing in a notebook. During intermission, Nosy Nelly (me) asked about the notebook. Turned out he was a critic who worked for a paper in New Jersey. We chatted about the play and John Spencer. End of show, Phil kindly mentioned that he generally gets two tickets to the plays he reviews and would be happy to take me as his guest if I'd be interested. I gave him my number at the studio and we said our goodbyes. I couldn't go the first time Phil offered the extra ticket , but I was free the second time he called. My friend Danielle insisted on walking me to the theater. She wanted to make sure she could ID Phil in case I turned up missing the next day. I think they discussed this at my 50th birthday party. Well, one play led to another and another – good, bad, first runs, revivals, Broadway, off B'way and across the Hudson. I don't get to the theater alone quite as often these days, but I can't complain. Thanks to Phil I've seen so many wonderful plays. "Kimberly Akimbo", "Curtains", "God of Carnage" – and of course "Shining City". We had to walk around the block after that one!
Tonight I'll rush out of work, grab that M86 bus going west, then take the 8th Ave local to 42nd street. As I reminded my husband this morning, I have theater with Phil. This will be the 73rd show we've seen together, thanks to his generosity – and my nosiness. We're friends. As the years have rolled along, we've added Jazz in July, Christmas Morning Coffee. If we never saw another show, we'd still have our traditions. As Phil says, "Good for us… are we lucky, or what?" I know I'm lucky. So…no ear buds just yet. Windows to peer into, people to meet. Try it. Maybe you'll adopt a wonderful dog, meet your future partner…or just see someone who inspires a character in your next project, or even better becomes a character in the story of your life.
P.S. – the Technology Gods rapped me on the knuckles for this one. My phone and my internet were out for the first part of the day today!
Crossing Town on the M86
I took the M86 bus west early this morning. A trip made seven days a week for months while writing Guiding Light. We started our work day at the Starbucks on 86th and Columbus, armed with the shiny, pink flowered schoolgirl notebooks we'd buy from Jay at the deli across the street. I still have that stack of notebooks under my couch, covered with dust and dog hair. I haven't bought a notebook since.
Riding through the park I thought about two things as I watched the first dog run of the day. Two worries. The task of writing this blog and the fact that I was heading to meet a young person at the above-mentioned Starbucks who wanted my advice about television writing. I've never written a blog before. I HAVE spoken to young people about daytime television, many times over the years. They generally find my story amusing – the fact that my waitress job led me to my 17 year gig at Guiding Light. They're impressed by the jobs I held there (lots) my Emmy (one) and the fact that I loved my work so much. But they wanted solid tips… advice. The truth is, some wonderful people gave me a chance. I showed up, accepted assignments, made my deadlines and was so damn happy they let me stay. When it ended, I staggered out of the studio, back into my "real" life, did my best to keep walking and talking, and finally got an office job just as the money ran out! What am I going to say to Nicole? Why didn't she get in touch with one of the writers still writing TV? They could talk to her about sustaining and surviving in this business. I don't even know Nicole very well. I'm not a television writer anymore. The flowered notebooks are under the couch. What do I say? Okay, I'll buy the coffee. It's the least I can do after wasting her time this morning.
Nicole arrives. I buy the coffee. She's looking for answers. I ask her questions. What is she writing? What does she watch on TV? What did she study in school? Premed, then Columbia film school. Wow. I'm surprised by the stuff she's working on and interested in her take on daytime. A friend calls while we're there. When I explain our meeting she says "talk her out of it! Tell her to run back to med school." I can't. I am more practical than I used to be – keep your day job, money stress is paralyzing. But if you want to write, do it. Say you're a writer. Don't be shy. Take a class, work on a web series….I can't talk her up to my EP and try to get her a sample deal. But I won't tell her not to go for it. This could be a great time for young writers. Shows are tumbling left and right but still, exciting things are happening. Out of the ashes… I am dazzled by the people who are pouring their hearts into making web series. We still want to tell stories. The audience still craves them. We'll have to tell them differently, we won't make that 80's and 90's money… but stories will be told. And something tells me that Nicole – or Danielle or Brett or the Rebeccas or Nidhi or Michelle or David or Kimberly – one or two or all of them – could be the Irna, Agnes, Bill or Claire of the future. Why not?
Nicole and I finish our talk and go our separate ways. I hope I encouraged her without giving her false hope. I hope she has a story to tell. I'm feeling lighthearted and hopeful myself, with a couple of stories rattling around in my head. I buy myself a pink flowered notebook from the deli before I get on the 86 going east.
Jill Lorie Hurst was raised in Detroit in the 60's and 70's, the daughter of a mother who watched CBS soaps and a father who loved New York. She studied theater and English at Wayne State University. She moved to New York in 1982 and started a ten year gig as a waitress in the garment district before finding a home at Guiding Light. Jill spent 17 years with the CBS soap as a receptionist, a writer's assistant, a script writer, script editor, breakdown writer, story producer and finally, part of the co-head writing team until the show went off the air in September 2009. When CBS deactivated her ID, Jill spent 15 months or so wandering the city streets before settling into an assistant job in Manhattan. She has recently joined the writing team of Venice the series and is working on her first play. Jill lives in New York City with her husband Tony, dog Jocko and cat Molly.
A few months after I turned 21,
A few months after I turned 21, I quit my job writing ads for college textbooks, and began my life as a freelance writer. I managed to get assignment writing about comedy in New York, which meant I got to hang out in comedy clubs and watch a hundred self-loathing guys self-destruct. I also stumbled upon an "all-girl comedy troupe" called the High Heeled Women.
We went out for drinks after their performance .I'd written jokes for comics, I knew a little about how to structure a sketch, and given my expertise, they agreed to pay me ten dollars an hour to write for them. Or with them.
There were four High Heeled Women, but two of them, Mary and Cassandra, wrote the act. None of us had air conditioning so we used the Blimpie's on West Tenth Street as our office. Mary laughed at everything I said, Cassandra was less animated. Once in a while she'd nod and say, "Funny." In hindsight, they were good cop/bad copping me. We'd start a sketch, I'd come up with a good one-liner, Mary would laugh, and Cassandra would shake her head. "Why would my character say that?" "Because it's funny?" I'd reply. She was appalled. Cassandra had been with Second City, she'd performed improv with people who'd gone on to superstardom, she'd played in front of more drunks than I could imagine. Along the way, she'd developed a code.
Comedy came from character. If you wrote a joke that wasn't true to the character, you were cheating, or "schmuck-baiting the audience." You also needed to have "conflict." One character has to have something the other character wants. I was reeling. The comics I'd written for, they just wanted one-liners that could get the drunks to listen. Cassandra wanted one-liners that made "internal sense" to the character, furthered the plot, and still got the drunks to take their hands off their neighbors' laps.
It was not a dream job. Ten dollars an hour didn't go very far, sometimes checks bounced. Also, for the first year, my credit read as follows: "the girls write all their own material." Even so, Mary and Cassandra were the first actors I wrote for. The idea that lines could not be randomly distributed among the actors on stage was annoying at first, but over time I internalized it. I learned about "ticker moments", about high jokes and low jokes and how to pair them ("blow me" sounds funniest in a high British accent, or an Arnold Schwarzenegger voice). I learned to make sure nightclub owners paid in cash.
After a while, Cassandra began to feel she'd shortchanged herself. Others in the group were booking all kinds of work because of the material we'd crafted for them; meanwhile Cassandra no longer had a signature piece in the show. I started to write a monologue in her voice, about a neurotic woman facing a romantic conflict, between her high feminist ideals and her low desires. Arnold Schwarzenegger courted her in the bit by saying "blow me." Eleven times. The first night Cassandra performed it, she killed. Anytime anyone else performed it, they died. As Cassandra had taught me, the audience always knows when they are being schmuck-baited.

No money-spinner
Katalinic resigned after Saturday's 3-0 league defeat by HNK Rijeka. More costly still had been their 2-1 loss to Hungarian club Zalaegerszegi TE in the second qualifying round of the UEFA Champions League which denied them a money-spinning tie against Manchester United FC.
"There is no point staying," Katalinic said. "I probably would have been sacked soon anyway. From the first day there were obstacles in front of me from the press and from the club."
Immediate acceptance
The new man at the helm, Jutrcevic, admitted the offer to replace Katalinic had been too good to turn down: "I did not even think it over, I accepted it right away." The 35-year-old former Croatian international has named ex-Zagreb goalkeeper Vatroslav Mihacic as his assistant.

There was nearly a riders' mutiny this morning at the Isle of Man TT, as the Supersport 2 race was about to get underway with cloudy skies and a damp track. With the forecast showing strong rain storms coming in the afternoon, race control was eager to get racing underway.
With most of the top riders saying they would not ride a few minutes from the race (except Michael Dunlop who would likely race through Armageddon), one Ketih Amor strolled up to the starting line and wondered where everyone was. He wouldn't have to wait long though, as John McGuinness, Guy Martin, and other soon arrived, ready to brave the conditions.

Monday Morning Box Office Report: The Fate of the Furious Smashes International Opening Weekend Record
The Fate of the Furious was right on target over the weekend as it managed to become the second movie of the year to open above $100 million but only just barely. The movie raced to an estimated $100.2 million at the domestic box office, which is the second best start for the franchise but still a staggering $47 million off from Furious 7. That being said, the movie did set a new box office record internationally, pulling in $432.3 million outside the U.S. which puts it ahead of its predecessor from an overall perspective. Elsewhere, The Boss Baby and Beauty and the Beast fell to second and third place respectively, while Smurfs: The Lost Village and Going in Style rounded out the top 5. The Fate of the Furious should easily continue to dominate for the rest of the month.
1. The Fate of the Furious — $100.2M
2. The Boss Baby — $15.5M
3. Beauty and the Beast — $13.6M
4. Smurfs: The Lost Village — $6.5M
5. Going in Style — $6.4M
6. Gifted — $3M
7. Get Out — $2.9M
8. Power Rangers — $2.9M
9. The Case for Christ — $2.7M
10. Kong: Skull Island — $2.7M

Separation of feel-good and functional areas
The bathroom is becoming increasingly defined as a living space and place of relaxation. A greater sense of comfort is achieved by the creation of an invigorating ambience and floorplan design where the bathroom opens onto the bedroom. This means that there is now more living space in the bathroom, and two cozy rooms are merged together in a practical fashion. The room is separated into an intimate relaxation area and a purely functional yet attractive section for the shower and toilet. For example, the space between the bedroom and bath area are separated by the toilet thus giving both areas their own identity.
A concept for bathrooms of any size
The separation of feel-good and functional areas of the bathroom can also be implemented in tight spaces. A centrally arranged sink can be accentuated through the use of stark contrasts and can provide visual structure to a bathroom of any size, without restricting its transparency.
Natural light and a relaxing ambience
Large windows, which let in natural light, and home accessories create a comfortable ambience in the bathroom. Natural wooden flooring and high-quality materials such as black and white marble contribute to the room's spacious character. At the same time, in the bathroom presented here they emphasise the quality of the Axor Citterio faucets, which express the special significance of water as a vital element.

Margaret Thatcher Quotes About CommunismQuotes about: Communism
That nations that have gone for equality, like Communism, have neither freedom nor justice nor equality, they've the greatest inequalities of all, the privileges of the politicians are far greater compared with the ordinary folk than in any other country. The nations that have gone for freedom, justice and independence of people have still freedom and justice, and they have far more equality between their people, far more respect for each individual than the other nations. Go my way. You will get freedom and justice and much less difference between people than you do in the Soviet Union.
Socialism's results have ranged between the merely shabby and the truly catastrophic - poverty, strife, oppression and, on the killing fields of communism, the deaths this century of perhaps 100 million people. Against that doctrine was set a contrary, conservative belief in a law-governed liberty. It was this view which triumphed with the crumbling of the Berlin Wall. Since then, the Left has sought rehabilitation by distancing itself from its past.
I hate extremes of any kind. Communism [seeks] the domination of the state over the individual... All my life I have stood against banning Communism or other extremist organisations because, if you do that, they go underground and it gives them an excitement that they don't get if they are allowed to pursue their policies openly. We'll beat them into the ground on argument...
The role of Ronald Reagan had been deliberately diminished; the role of the Europeans, who, with the exception of Helmet Kohl, were often keen to undermine America when it mattered, had been sanitized; and the role of Mr. Gorbachev, who had failed spectacularly in his declared objective of saving communism and the Soviet Union, had been absurdly misunderstood.
Communism produces neither dignity nor prosperity. It takes all power away from the people and places it in the hands of a self-appointed elite. And because it distorts and manipulates the distinctive talents of individuals rather than letting those talents flourish, it prevents progress and prosperity.

The Minister of State, Home Office (Baroness Scotland of Asthal): My Lords, I beg to move that the House do now resolve itself into Committee on this Bill.
Moved, That the House do now resolve itself into Committee.(Baroness Scotland of Asthal.)
On Question, Motion agreed to.
House in Committee accordingly.
[The CHAIRMAN OF COMMITTEES in the Chair.]
Lord Dixon-Smith moved Amendment No. 1:
The noble Lord said: The amendment deals with simple questions of organisation and man management in the police service. Most, if not all, police forces operate with core services, particularly in crime investigation and so on, run from police headquarters. Below that they have divisions, the number of divisions depending on the area and size of the force. Below the divisions, they run on community policing teams largely based on the townsin some counties it will be the main townsand so on. The question is about the appropriate level at which a decision to start on a closure notice procedure should be taken.
Divisions have superintendents as their head, and community policing teams have inspectors as their head. Of course it is difficult to make a clear distinction between one level and the next because the whole operation, if working effectively, works as a team. However, the essential local knowledge and requirements for opening procedures for a closure notice will be at the local level. The issue then is whether the provision is at the appropriate level to authorise the action.
I have a preference, from what I have learned through life in the management of men, for giving as much responsibility as possible to the lowest possible level. I inquired what my police service felt about the issue, and I do not know whether I reassure the Minister when I say that it agreed with the Bill, although it accepted my point. However, the description that I received from my police service was that the superintendent level was appropriate, because he would exercise an audit to make sure that the procedures were or had been properly carried out. It acknowledged that the initiative would almost always come at inspector level.
If inspectors have the initiative and all that the superintendent does is offer an audit facility to make sure that the procedures have been correctly carried outif the inspector is any good and worth his office, he will have it correctI do not see why the responsibility should not lie there. If that happens and if anything goes wrong, the superintendent is in a position to deal with it. As the Bill proposes, if the matter has to go to the superintendent in the first instance, if anything goes wrong it has to go back to headquarters.
All that shifts the responsibility up the machine, and I do not like that; I prefer it lower down. I like to believe that officers at the level of inspector are responsible and capable of taking appropriate decisions vis-a-vis the community in which they work. They in any event will have the local knowledge on which the whole procedure is based, so that is where the responsibility should lie. The amendment chimes with what I feel about man management, so I thought the case certainly worth arguing before the Committee. I beg to move.
Lord Bassam of Brighton: It is one of those perennial debates to ask where responsibility should ultimately rest, on what the noble Lord would probably acknowledge was a strategic decision in terms of police operations. Many debates in this House have focused on the appropriate levels to take such decisions. On this matter, there is room for a quite understandable debate. I start from the same point as him: I, too, believe that responsibility should be forced down to the lowest possible level and closest to where events really happen in our communities. Therefore, I have great sympathy with him on that point.
However, we need to think about the effectiveness of the work of the superintendent. From our point of view in government, having taken very careful account of the police service's own viewsI was very interested in the noble Lord's point about thatwe think it necessary that the officer who authorises the use of powers should be of a sufficiently high rank to have the necessary overview of all law enforcement action conducted in the area. This was discussed at considerable length in another place, where the case for authorisation at inspector level was argued as well.
The Government have taken a careful look at the points that were made in that debate. Operational matters are always of great interest to us, and we want to make sure that we get matters right. Having listened carefully to what the police themselves have said on this matterthey must have had internal debates on itwe are still very much of the opinion that any change to the level of authorisation could in the end prevent the appropriate use of power as part of a range of measures to control drug supply and the serious nuisance that we all acknowledge it brings with it.
We acknowledge that inspectors take many operational decisions. But it is still necessary to ensure that the use of a power as strong as that proposed is appropriately authorised. We also believe that a
It is certainly my experience as a local politicianperhaps the noble Lord, Lord Dixon-Smith, will have a similar viewthat we, within the leadership team of the local authority, with the chief executive, used to meet on a regular basis to review policing within our borough. Those discussions always took place at a strategic level with the superintendentwho had the overview of that police division. It seemed to us that important decisions such as this are rightly located at that level. The superintendent has command of the whole of a division and understands and is constantly advised about what goes on within it.
I believe that it will be possibleand the police service obviously agrees with usthat the superintendent will be able to turn round decisions quickly and effectively. I cannot see that there will be an over-bureaucratisation at the level at which the decision is being demanded.
There are good precedents for this, in terms of the level of oversight. I cite in aid of our position the powers in Section 42 of the Police and Criminal Evidence Act 1984, which deal with the continued detention of suspects beyond the usual 24-hour limit and up to a maximum of 36 hours without the authorisation of a court, and Sections 56 and 58, regarding the suspect's access to legal advice and the right to have someone informed if the arrest is delayed. In those instances superintendent is the appropriate level. We believe that that is the appropriate level of seriousness in those instances, and that it accords with the case here.
I understand the point that is being argued. However, on careful reflection, and having consulted with members of the police service at some length on this matter and having listened to their views, we believe that we have got the provision right. It is for that reason that we resist the amendment. I hope that the noble Lord is convinced by that argument and will feel happy and confident in withdrawing it.
Lord Dixon-Smith: I am grateful to the noble Lord for his responseand unsurprised. As I indicated, it chimes in with the feelings of the police service in my area, whose members I consulted on the issue. That said, I am bound to say that I do not agreebut that is because I happen to believe in a slightly different style, and so on. I do not think that the point is worth pursuing hard. I shall study with care what has been said in case it raises any further issues. But for now, I beg leave to withdraw the amendment.
Amendment, by leave, withdrawn.
Lord Dixon-Smith moved Amendment No. 2:
The noble Lord said: I was moved to table this amendment because I found, on reading Clause 1, that I became slightly confused as to whether we were trying to deal with anti-social behaviour in the Bill
Under the Bill as drafted, a premises may be closed if the relevant officer,
It is perfectly clear that there are plenty of other laws that can be used against drug dealing and so forth; but you would not be able to close a premises down under this clausewhich I had always assumed was an additional power to enable people to close crack houses. I still think that, because of what I believe to be slightly mistaken wording, it would be better to remove the word "and" and insert "or", so that if a premises is used in connection with drugs it can be closed down; or, if it is a base for anti-social behaviour of a serious form it can be closed down. But to require them both to be a prerequisite seems to me to leave a certain amount of confusion, particularly on the drugs front. I beg to move.

Pramod Krishnamurthy, Consultant:
Business strategy for life insurance companies in a digital world
Life insurance sector is showing signs of recovery. 1 public player, 23 private
Insurance IT: Wave 1 (basic setup), Wave 2 (process automation, customer/agent portals), Wave 3: tidal wave – consumer IT
Birla Sun Life: No. 6 in India now. Goals – quality, profitability, sales growth
India has one of the lowest penetrations of insurance
(Virtualisation is great, also need visualisation to make sense of digital data tsunami)
50-70% of online Indians research online before making financial product purchase offline
Birla Sun Life maps out market lifecycle, policy-holder lifecycle, sales force lifecycle. Where does trust get created?
Digital strategy: salesforce enablement, partner enablement, direct to customer, customer engagement
Need to move from push (product info) to co-create (counseling)
Need of the hour – 'business technologists,' marketing & IT collaboration, tech quotient of business managers, bi-modal IT org, Innovation Labs
Insurance company to watch in terms of digital strategy: Ping An
Digital India trends to watch – Indian languages, video, wellness management, programmatic buying
Insurance + IoT: sensors (cars, fleets), healthcare (wearables). KM's role is to detect data patterns, convert into insights and learnings
Nigel Heredia, eClerx Services
Started in 2000. 80 global clients (fin, digital, telecom), $200M revenue.
Challenges: dynamic processes (frequent changes), short time to go love, high attrition, high cost of error
Expertise locator: locates specialists, offer SMEs greater visibility, helps with competency gap analysis
KM is a driver of our service delivery. Framework for metrics in training design, content strategy
KM + training (phases): design (e-learning), implementation (assessments, metrics), effectiveness (Knowledge Quotient)
KM maps onto real metrics that represent Productivity, Quality, Profitability.
Vincent Ribiere, IKI-SEAsia, iKlub (video link from Bangkok)
iKlub was founded in 2012 to promote knowledge management, innovation, creativity
KM Global Network has been formed by Hong Kong, Thailand, Australia, Singapore
KMGN is about collaboration (not just coordination), a global movement (not just organisation)
KMGN goals – standards, assets, learning communities, practitioner networks
KMGN provides global access to KM experts, academics, events, jobs, content and more! http://kmglobalnetwork.net
KMGN has nine members (including India, Russia, Japan, France, Americas)
See writeup on KMGN's last meeting in Singapore: http://km.techsparks.com/?p=889
KMGN 2016 conference will be in Singapore: Sep 26-30 – 'KM Fiesta'
The role of KM in Innovation – systematic focus on the new and the unknown
Many organisations say they are 'too busy' with existing work to hear about or try new ideas
Balance needed: Operation cycle – continuous incremenetal improvements, Innovation cycle – transformational.
KM helps in knowledge creation for innovation
Creativity = Copy or Transform or Combine
See the video on 'Everything is a remix!' https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=coGpmA4saEk
Knowledge assets (metaphor) = periodic table. Muppets + Sesame Street = Angry Birds
Study conducted by Wendi Bukowitz (author, 'KM Fieldbook') on connection between KM and innovation
We conducted 16 global case studies on KM (NASA, Tata, Intel, Microsoft, etc.)
KM seems more content-focused (documentation, labels, accuracy), innovation is more social (interactions, environment)
(i) R&D, KM, IM (ii) KM first, then innovation (iii) KM and IM integrated
KM support for innovation: CoPs (identify knowledge gaps, test ideas), co-creation (social KM with internal and external customers)
KM + IM: culture of sharing, trust, communication; external knowledge sharing (AAR, peer assist)
KM + IM: sharing of best practices in innovation steps; transversal project managers for knowledge re-use between projects
Nonaka's SECI flow applies to knowledge creation for innovation
Knowledge + Innovation -> Value. Content + Process -> realtime learning.
Challenge with integrating KM and IM: isolated business units, lack of clarity on sponsorship and budgets
The classic image of connecting the dots – information, knowledge, creativity
We are organising the Asian Symposium on Creativity and Innovation Management, and MBI (MB Innovation)
Theme of ASCIM 2016: From Imitation to Innovation. Speakers – Ravi Arora ('Making Innovations Happen'), and me!
Q&A: Which has come first in an organisation – KM or IM?
Ved Prakash, Global Practice Head, Knowledge Management, CGI
"Standards: Giving a fillip to KM"
KM is key in organisations which are scaling
Intersection between KM & quality have been cemented in ISO 9001:2015 (in Clause 7.1.6: Support – Organisational KM)
KM has been included in international quality standards as a core element
Knowledge is explicitly recognized as a resource – a historic first!
KM has now gained more legitimacy in the business community and quality circles
Clause 7.1.6: Organisational Knowledge – Determine the knowledge necessary for the operation of its processes and to achieve conformity of products and services. The knowledge shall be maintained and made available to the extent necessary. When addressing changing needs and trends, the organisation shall consider its current knowledge and determine how to acquire or access any necessary additional knowledge and required abilities.
Note 1: Organisational knowledge is knowledge specific to the organisation; it is generally gained by experience. It is information that is used and shared to achieve the organisation's performance.
Note 2: Organisational knowledge be based on internal sources (IP, lessons learned, undocumented knowledge) and external sources (eg. standards, academia, conferences, gathering knowledge from customers or external providers)
Commentary: organisational knowledge needed to ensure process operation, conformity/quality
Safeguarding from the loss of knowledge (attrition) and encouraging the organisation to acquire knowledge (learning from experience, mentoring, benchmarking)
Therefore KM can be re-positioned to executive sponsors as a mandatory element for retaining ISO certification.
KM is no longer optional in the organisation – it has to meet explicit global standards.
Rework KM to cover missing elements
Ensure coordination between KM and Quality (eg. checklists, templates, KM audits)
Risk management for companies has become more important in the context of global economic turbulence
There are other relevant clauses on Organisational Competence, Documented Information

'What's wrong with lessons learned – and how to put it right'
Do organisations agree on what lessons they have learnt from their experiences?
Project reviews often leak knowledge, when they don't ask the right questions.
Ask about not just facts, but feelings/experiences of project team members.
How many marks would you give your project, and how to make it 10/10? What magic would have made it work? If you knew XYZ in advance, how would it have made a difference? What advice do you give others? Keep an empty seat for the customer and ask how your colleagues they would have felt. (good questioning/analysis technique)
Ensure that when you capture knowledge, you don't kill it!
If necessary, record project review conversations and transcribe them for analysis later.
Sharing knowledge is not the same as 'not hiding knowledge' – need to add prescriptive/actionable elements
Weakness in lessons learned practices – no discipline for reuse, no curiosity about past experience
Good KM awards – Transfer/creation of a Good Practice; Reuse; Embed knowledge in a product; Experience share of failure
Good KM awards: mascots which get transferred from one desk/winner to another; gold coins!
Lessons learned: Question – Capture – Store – Reuse – Review, and loop on. Based on connections.
Organisations don't learn, people do! Make the right connections, not just conversations.
My Q to Chris Collins: How to extend better 'lessons learned' practices to whole industries, eg. auto, energy?
Industry has to have collective improvement overcome corporate self-interest
Wind energy companies should share lessons learned so that industry improves and citizens + environment benefit
Prof. Vijayalakshmi Rangarajan, Welingkar Institute
'Academic Perspectives in KM'
Nexus between industry and government is good, but not between industry and academia in India
Emerging KM research areas: competitive strategy, core competency, cross-border KM, industry KM, axioms
Without effectiveness, efficiency is not the best goal
Academic doctorates are an untapped resource in India. Vast research and advisory capacity unused, eg. on corporate boards
Indian corporates need to invest more in academic research and education
Corporates are thinking only of short-term research, at best. Need longer-term views that academics can provide
Need more academic research/publication databases and incubators in India
India needs to explore more PPP models for academic research
Way ahead: crowdsourcing and connected labs to tap academic power in India
Good examples of countries with productive academic-industry collaboration: Singapore, US, Sweden, Germany
Me: Good example of academic-industry collaboration in KM: Ganesh Natarajan, Rishikesha Krishnan
Audience: Key success factors for KM
Leadership vision, drive, buy-in and funding
Customer focus, co-creatoin
'What's in it for me' value proposition for employees
Seamless integration with workflow
Culture, eg. via rewards and recognition; gamification
KPIs to ensure compliance and excellence
Thanks to all speakers, sponsors, attendees at fourth annual Mumbai K-Community conference!
Thanks Rudolf D'Souza and Alakh Asthana for driving the knowledge management community in Mumbai!

Ranbir Kapoor a huge star: Big B
Mumbai: Megastar Amitabh Bachchan has lauded actor Ranbir Kapoor by labelling him a "huge star".
Ranbir and Big B asked his fans on Twitter if they got a chance to see Ranbir in the 1991 film "Ajooba" photographs.
"Did you see little Ranbir Kapoor in one of the Ajooba pictures…!! so cute. 25 years later, huge star!" Amitabh tweeted.

until he sleeps in his clothes including his puttees and shoes. Curtis says he'll be mad as hell if the ship isn't sunk.
We have an ex-cowboy with us named Bird, who has been having a terrible time behaving himself. Bob Kelly was a cowboy out in Arizona for a while when he was trying to shake off the con and every time they get together the storm clouds gather. They are good friends of Springs's and whenever they get started he joins them and tries to quiet things down. One night last week Bird got tired of this paternal supervision in the bar and went down below. Then he started giving his cowboy yell and the matter was reported to the Major. The Major said he didn't want to be hard on anybody but he couldn't overlook it, so he left the punishment to Springs. Springs put him on the waggon for a week. Since then he has been sitting around the table in the bar drinking ginger ale and looking at Springs in a pleading tone of voice so he let him off to-night in honour of the prospects of seeing land to-m
This is really a great diary, honest and revealing. The author tells it as it really was. This is one story that is really worth reading, no wonder there have been so many movies based loosely on this story. One of the best war diary's I've ever read.

From India:
What are the adverse effects of insulin, aside from hypoglycemia, for someone with type 2?
I read on Wikipedia that "Arterial muscle tone - forces arterial wall muscle to relax, increasing blood flow, especially in micro arteries; lack of insulin reduces flow by allowing these muscles to contract." If this is one action of insulin, can more insulin force arterial wall muscles to relax in excess or for a prolonged time? Can more insulin be pro-inflammatory?
It is an ongoing question as to whether hyperinsulinemia seen with insulin resistance in the metabolic syndrome and type 2 diabetes is a direct effector in the promotion of cardiovascular disease. Insulin has many effects on a variety of tissues, in addition to its effects on glucose transport. These also include effects on mitogenesis. However, the jury is not out with regard to the favorable/unfavorable effects of exposure to patients with type 2 diabetes. For instance, insulin has anti-oxidative effects that may protect against cardiovascular disease. We are not sure where the net effect is.

18*36 oval
TA-60 sandfilter
Yes I bought my pool slide and my pump from them. I got really good deals and same as cash for 4 months. Basically they broke my payment down over 4 months at no charge essentially. They are a subsidiary of In The Swim.
14x33 fiberglass freeform
Variable speed Pentair intelliflo superpump
420 Clean and Clear Plus cartridge filter.
pool-school/pool_calculator , http://www.tftestkits.net/
I just discovered the fact of these 2 sites being related. I ordered some borate test strips from saveonpoolsupplies.com, and when they arrived the invoice indicated it was from In the Swim.Originally Posted by whoozer
I also wanted to mention, I have been thinking of getting a Hayward pool cleaner, Aquabug, the Whale, or whichever was cheapest. I found that the Aquacritter is about $145 at intheswim.com, but it's only $99 at saveonpoolsupplies.com. Seems to be the same model, so I'm not sure why the big price difference.
Just throwing it out there if anyone is looking for this cleaner!
Intex 16'x48" 5000 gal. metal leg pool, Hayward 1.5hp pump w/sand filter
You must be careful with their "offers" they can be deceptive, IE: they have free shipping and handling, then you order and they send you a cupon to use on your "next order" however in order to use it you have to give up the free handling so it basically washes out the cupon. Not exactly honest buisness.

Shocking Figures: 1 teacher left for 27 students in Maharashtra
According to the All India Survey on Higher Education (AISHE) 2016-17, the number of college teachers in Maharashtra has dropped by around 15,000 in the past one year while the student enrolment has been increased marginally.
–As per the survey by AISHE, the state now has one teacher for every 27 students as opposed to 24 students per teacher in 2015-16
–The national pupil teacher ratio (PTR) has also increased from 23 to 26 in the past one year
–The state had 1.66 lakh teachers at various positions such as professor, assistant professor, associate professor, tutor and temporary teacher
–During 2016-17, the enrolment in various higher education courses increased from 39.87 lakh to 40.6 lakh and there was nine per cent reduction for 1.51 lakh teachers
1.According to academicians, the stagnant allocation for education by the central and the state governments are responsible for decreasing the number of teachers for students
- As per their statement, the state government is held responsible for freezing the recruitment of teachers resulting in the worsening of the pupil-teacher ratio, as the colleges and universities are unable to make fresh appointments in the place of retired teachers
- The grants allotted to colleges have been reduced. Many schemes run by University Grants Commission (UGC) have been stopped.
- The government wants quality, but won't allocate money for it," Rohni Sivabalan, President, Bombay University and College Teachers' Union (BUCTU) told Hindustan Times.
The state in 2015 put a freeze on creating new posts and filling existing posts in order to bring financial stability to the state by curbing the expenditure on the government employees. According to another government resolution issued in May last year, the allotment freeze will continue for respective departments until they take a stock of their existing posts and finalize a new administrative framework for the department.

Government taking savage action not refunding withdrawal fees
A senior HRD Ministry official says higher education institutions not returning withdrawal fees a student will soon face punitive action
Higher education is valued because of its signalling power i.e. the college experience does not form people into more valuable or learned individuals capable of doing good work, but it sorts people into groups and attaches degrees to those who were already capable.
Most of the people believe education institutions can help any hard working person. But not everyone is able to attend a college or university because of one common barrier called money. And sometimes this money in the form of fees is not returned by these educational or professional institutions at the time of withdrawal of the admission. Also some institutions deduct an extravagant amount while returning the fees.
AICTE and UGC Regulations
According to AICTE and UGC norms now institutions have to return the fees and original documents of students when a student ask for the withdrawal of the admission.
So, as to maintain the right of every student to choose their institutions and prevent them from the exploitation government will be taking punitive actions.
The Human Resource Development Ministry ordered the All-India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) and the University Grants Commission (UGC) to take savage action against the educational institutions, including deemed varsities, who are not refunding the students withdrawal fees.
The educational institutions who will not follow the parameters of the HRD will have to face serious issues which will include withdrawal of approval and recognition of erring institutions.

Laptop For Sale
Whenever you want to get rid of something, first use an add posting site and see if there's nobody who would like it
Also, most fresh cars lose around little less than a half of their value through their first year and also that again can always be a serious punch within the gut when you have spent a little bundle on it. Buying a new second hand car, via a private party, these as you can locate on announcement sites, an individual could avoid some costs that apply when sellers are the mediators. An individual, also have the freedom of buying whatever unit you want, from no matter what year you like, simply because some old carmodels are not manufactured nowadays and the only way to find the sought after one is through a new private party. The similar goes for gadgets just like laptops and phones. These people have a multitude involving benefits if they're got second hand and several, that look like brand new and are certainly not of use to a person, can make someone different really happy. A leading used smartphone for occasion, can be a great deal for someone who have buys it for all their children, who we all know they don't definitely take care of all their possessions and they solely mean to show down at school and employ the Internet as a lot as possible. details
We all need information on certain businesses, on certain moments and for that we have useful business listingsOf course, it matters greatly the person guiding the wheel who's driving the car and the idea depends mostly on that person for the journey to be a protected one but special characteristics of the car may enhance that process, and so it takes both edges to contribute together and make the best regarding the technology.

Welcome, 2017! It's the very first Saturday of the year which means it's time for our monthly housing report. All was merry and bright during the holiday season. In the midst of the celebration, the market kept moving. Let's check out the Pittsford Housing Trends.
Active Listings
91 homes are currently active. They have a median list price of 430k. (Let's take a quick pause in our programming to discuss median price vs. average price. Using the average of a list numbers is great when you and your friends want to figure out how to pay the coffee shop bill. However, when it comes to real estate, a really high number (like to be built new construction) or a really low number (like a foreclosed property) can create an unrealistic number. When we use the "middle" number or median when discussing properties, it gives us a more accurate picture.)
Pending Listings
Currently there are 39 homes under contract in Pittsford. The median list price was 280k. The average days on the market was 49.
37 properties closed in December, so many had a new home for the holidays. The average median sale price was 255k. When we look at the median sale price for December vs. November, we see an increase of 15K in Pittsford Housing Trends!
The new year is off to a great start! As per usual for January, inventory is lower. We've seen several cases of multiple offers already. No need to panic, just be prepared. New homes are popping up every day as wise sellers want the best price possible and buyers want to catch the interest rates before they rise. All predictions for 2017 point to a strong and more balanced real estate market that benefits both buyers and sellers! Contact me today, and let's get started. If your credit is less than stellar, let 2017 be the year you make it shine. Contact our trusted mortgage professional, Mike Monile, for ways to make home ownership possible.

Tim Cook has launched a robust defence of the iPhone 5c, telling investors it was not designed as an entry-level device. Cook was speaking after Apple revealed record July-September sales of all iPhones, with 33.8 million sold.
In a conference call after the results were made public, Cook said: "If you look at what we've done, we're selling the iPhone 4s as our entry offer. We sell the iPhone 5c as the mid-tier and the 5s.
"Our goal is to have growth across the iPhone but we want each of those categories to grow as compared to what we were doing previously."
Cook's comments come amid analysts' complaints that the iPhone 5c isn't priced competitively enough. Apple's profits were down in the most recently reported quarter and share prices fell last night.
Industry-watchers claim that the iPhone 5s is outselling its cheaper stablemate by two to one. According to Localytics, the 5s is said to account for a massive 83% of iPhone sales in China, the territory where the plastic device was expected to do well.
Cook, however, appears unconcerned. Other analysts have claimed that the iPhone 5c is likely to see a pick up in sales, because it's aimed at users who don't naturally buy new devices the moment they're launched, unlike many iPhone 5s owners.

Peter Phillips and the legendary voices of The Tallis Scholars return to Boston for their 25th annual appearance in a joyous celebration of the holiday season and the ensemble's 40th anniversary season! Founded in 1973, The Tallis Scholars have toured the world earning enthusiastic acclaim for impeccable and glorious performances of Renaissance vocal music. They will perform a gorgeous program of sacred works written to honor the Virgin Mary, both as saint and mother, from the grandeur of Victoria's Missa Gaudeamus to intimate seasonal settings by Guerrero, Verdelot, and Bruckner.
Since the 1989-1990 Concert Season, the Boston Early Music Festival has presented The Tallis Scholars in 39 concert performances with total individual tickets sold surpassing 25,000. Indeed, their first performances predated the formal inauguration of BEMF's annual Boston Concert Series. With a sold-out audience and a WCRB 99.5FM radio broadcast in 2012, they continue to be warmly received by Boston audiences as this beloved group celebrates four decades of consistently excellent music-making.
The Tallis Scholars were founded in 1973 by their director, Peter Phillips. Through numerous recordings and concert performances, they have established themselves as the leading exponents of Renaissance sacred music throughout the world. Peter Phillips has worked with the ensemble to create, through excellent tuning and blend, the purity and clarity of sound which he feels best serve the Renaissance repertoire, allowing every detail of the musical lines to be heard. It is the resulting beauty of sound for which The Tallis Scholars have become so widely renowned. The Tallis Scholars perform in both sacred and secular venues, giving around 70 concerts each year across the globe. Recordings by The Tallis Scholars have attracted many awards throughout the world with recent honors including their recording of Josquin's Missa De beata virgine and Missa Ave maris stella received a Diapason d'Or de l'Année in November, 2012 and in their 40th anniversary year being welcomed into the Gramophone Hall of Fame by public vote.
Peter Phillips has made an impressive if unusual reputation for himself in dedicating his life's work to the research and performance of Renaissance polyphony. He founded The Tallis Scholars in 1973, with whom he has now appeared in over 1600 concerts and made over 50 discs, encouraging interest in polyphony all over the world. Apart from The Tallis Scholars, Peter Phillips continues to work with other specialist ensembles including Collegium Vocale of Ghent, the VoxVocal Ensemble of New York, and Musix of Budapest. He has made numerous television and radio appearances, on BBC Radio 4 and the World Service as well as on German, French, Canadian and North American radio. Peter also works extensively with the BBC Singers with whom he gave a Promenade concert, in collaboration with The Tallis Scholars, from the Royal Albert Hall in July 2007, which was broadcast live and attended by over five thousand people.

In that story he also goes on to say how sad Ken was for opening the station; about as sad as wanting Boris to do a Christmas message on TV?
I did love the story when the Virgin train attendant told him to fuck off after he insisted on taking his unbooked bike on the train. He missed out a whole section of what he said to provoke the guy, but I can imagine he's quite good at it.
