Modern businesses face more scrutiny than ever from the public through social media and constant media coverage. With this increased scrutiny, companies are under more pressure to comment on and possibly contribute to issues that their consumers care about. The instant line of communication provided by Twitter, especially, has allowed companies to respond in real time to political and social events, for fear that they do not find themselves on the boycott end of a social media campaign or protest hashtag.
Companies aligning themselves with sides in a social issue is not new, but this phenomenon certainly has increased in recent years. Some companies choose to stay stoically absent from public debate, but those that do jump into the arena can create value out of a positive public perception. While it would be idealistic and possibly naive to think that every company that tweeted or pushed a statement about the political and social events of the last few years was operating from a sense of conscientious civic duty, companies (especially major corporations with well-regarded public CEOs) can increase pressure to move consumers to their brand over another brand that may not take the risk of getting involved. When it is seen as a genuine interest, this risk taking is rewarded by consumers.
Going beyond a statement or tweet in support of a specific side on an issue is not the choice most companies make, but many do and create ad campaigns to highlight an issue. Typically these revolve around issues that do not have legitimate opposition, such as P&G's "WeSeeEqual" and "LikeaGirl" campaignsto address problematic gender stereotypes. Some social issue-directed ad campaigns are more provocative, like Airbnb's Superbowl "WeAccept" campaignwhich directly addresses the border and refugee policies of the Trump Administration. Airbnb took a calculated risk with this campaign, and it largely paid off – they got plenty of media attention, and will be remembered on the ride side of history.
Each company must decide for themselves whether it makes sense to comment in the first place or take further tangible action. Whether out of true altruism or an opportunistic view of corporate social responsibility, some companies choose to involve themselves more heavily, and even create separate entities or foundations that can operate purely in the social sphere, usually on a problem that is relevant to the companies' operating industry. There have been several high-profile examples of this recently, especially in response to social issues with high public visibility.
Airbnb has launched multiple socially responsive programs that utilize their ability to connect people with a place to stay. They have multiple initiatives through AirbnbCitizen, a separate website from the Airbnb rentals site. One of these initiatives is Airbnb OpenHomes, a social impact program that partners with nonprofits to help place people in need of free or low cost temporary housing with Airbnb hosts that are willing to lower or waive their rates. This initiative has allowed Airbnb to work with the United Negro College Fund to place first-time college minority students and their families with affordable housing for freshman orientations and move-ins. Airbnb also has a robust disaster relief program that not only helps hosts prepare their homes for disasters, but also prompts hosts in the area affected by disaster to open their homes to people needing refuge. Airbnb works with relief organizations as well to help accommodate humanitarian aid workers while they work in disaster zones worldwide. These many programs represent a departure from conventional corporate operations; no one would have argued that Airbnb was socially irresponsible for not working with relief organizations to provide affordable housing to disaster victims, but Airbnb has taken it upon themselves to operate at that socially conscious level anyway. It is hard to see these programs as an insincere PR effort or simply an attempt to raise their public profile. All indications point to genuine altruism, which certainly is a relatively new, but welcome development in the private world.
Taking it a step further, some private organizations have created separate entities whose sole purpose is to address social issues completely independent from the operations of the business. Chobani created the Tent Foundation to leverage the logistics and power of the private sector to address the refugee crisis in Europe. They help companies identify refugees as a powerful resource – as possible employees, customers, and investment opportunities. The Tent Foundation has partnered with companies like Starbucks, Wework, and Pearson. So far, they have leveraged over 100 private member companies to impact 200,000+ refugees in 34 countries. The Tent Foundation grew from the Founder and CEO of Chobani, Hamdi Ulukaya. Ulukaya has long had an interest in humanitarian issues and believes that the private sector's entrepreneurial spirit, networks, and resources are well poised to have a positive impact.

Ulukaya's belief in the power of the private sector to contribute to humanitarian issues is certainly not a traditional corporate mindset, but has become more prevalent in recent years. Furthermore, the degree of involvement for each company has been carefully decided – it will not seem genuine or effective if a company tries to address issues that it has no logical connection to. Airbnb has addressed accommodation issues and Chobani was founded by a Turkish refugee, so their specific issue interests make sense and are free from motivation speculation. Through the pursuit of these issue interests, these companies have paved new ground in the world of private activism and should be applauded. Progress on social issues requires effort from every avenue and the use of networks and resources from the private sector are proving to be a step in the right direction.

Raytheon Co., a technology leader specializing in defense, homeland security and other government markets, employs 72,000 workers at 150 sites worldwide. Even with such a broad scope, Raytheon puts forth a cohesive effort when it comes to workplace safety.
"When one site takes an initiative for best practices, we incorporate it company-wide," says Paul Zybert, senior manager of corporate EHS.
The company especially pulls together to protect workers from their largest injury risks: ergonomics hazards and slips and falls. By teaming up across sites, Zybert says, Raytheon reduces the likelihood of injury. For example, ergonomists at every division have monthly meetings with the corporate ergonomist to consider and develop solutions to ergonomics-related issues. The company encourages employee involvement - one site even created homemade "Safety Idol" videos to raise awareness of slip and fall hazards.
Raytheon also maintains a company-wide business continuity plan in the event of disasters. This way, Raytheon can be prepared to maintain its operations in the aftermath of an emergency, whether it's a hurricane or a terrorist attack.
"We have robust business continuity planning and disaster planning," Zybert says. "It's really quite ambitious."
Additionally, the company has a wellness program, works to reduce waste and preserve resources and has won a slew of safety and environmental awards. But one of Raytheon's standout qualities is that EHS is integrated vertically among all levels of the organization. Business presidents meet monthly with the CEO for operations reviews, where they track critical EHS issues such as ergonomics, industrial hygiene and safety risk assessments.
"All of that is rolled up through the CEO and everyone is held accountable for it," says Zybert. "When their thoughts on a strategy are brought to the business and EHS directors, that's how you set everyone marching to the same tune."

A professionally produced podcast that consistently delivers real EDM interviews with the top djs & producers in the electronic dance music genre.
Outside of the podcast our mission is to provide timely EDM news updates through the website and our social media sites.
Before Real EDM, it was real radio
We have a strong history in EDM
The guys behind Real EDM, Luis and Dylan, have been radio presenters on Chicago's only dance music station for over a decade. Beginning in 2006, these two where the main hosts of Dance Factory Radio. Dance Factory began broadcasting on 92.5. FM – 92.7 FM – 99.9 FM in the Chicagoland metro area, playing top EDM tracks, exclusive DJ mixes, and producing huge EDM concerts and club nights. Utilizing their substantial knowledge and experience in the broadcasting and EDM industry, they launched their first podcast in 2015.
About Real EDM
We originally launched our first podcast in 2015 naming it "CHI-EDM" as a nod to the deep history of house in Chicago. Our goal? To provide a genuine high quality podcast that consistently delivered real EDM interviews with the top hit makers in the electronic dance music genre. Outside of the podcast their mission is to provide timely EDM news updates through their website and social media sites.
It was a huge success, instantly our quality content attracted a sizable loyal following. Three years later in 2018, a broader vision was realized when CHI-EDM became REAL EDM. Research showed the name "CHI-EDM" didn't resonate outside of the local Chicago market. By rebranding to "Real EDM" it is now much easier to convey the brand more clearly to a broader overall audience.

IPL 2017: Gautam Gambhir calls SRH 'champions' after KKR enter Qualifier 2
Kolkata Knight Riders produced a disciplined bowling and fielding effort and some fine batting from skipper Gautam Gambhir to defeat defending champions Sunrisers Hyderabad by 7 wickets in the IPL Eliminator
Kolkata Knight Riders captain and batsman Gautam Gambhir (L) hugs his team mate Ishank Jaggi (R) after their victory in the 2017 Indian Premier League (IPL) Twenty20 cricket eliminator match between Sunrisers Hyderabad and Kolkata Knight Riders at The M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bangalore on May 18, 2017.Pic/AFP
Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) captain Gautam Gambhir led from the front to knock defending champions Sunrisers Hyderabad out of the Indian Premier League (IPL) with a seven-wicket win and made to Qualifier 2 in a rain-interrupted eliminator clash at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium here on Thursday.
KKR will take on Mumbai Indians on Friday at the same venue.
Chasing 48 to win in six overs after rain and wet outfield ate up a large chunk of playing time, forcing Duckworth-Lewis method to come into play, Gambhir steadied the ship after KKR were 12/3 at one stage with an unbeaten 19-ball 32.
Ishank Jaggi, playing his first match, was not out on five.
At the start, Chris Lynn was on the money right away, smacking Bhuvneshwar Kumar for a six in the first ball he faced.
But the second ball saw the destructive Australian get out after replays showed Lynn had edged to wicketkeeper Naman Ojha off a Bhuveshwar near-yorker.
Yusuf Pathan, promoted up the order to score at a brisk pace, lasted just one delivery before he was run out. Robin Uthappa did not last long too, holing out to Shikhar Dhawan at deep mid wicket off Chris Jordan's bowling.
Earlier, KKR rode on a superlative show by their bowlers to restrict Sunrisers Hyderabad to 128/7 in 20 overs.
Returning to the side after an injury lay-off, Nathan Coulter-Nile (3/20) impressed with the ball. He was ably supported by Umesh Yadav (2/21).
Sent into bat, it was struggle for Sunrsiers from the onset as skipper David Warner (37) and Shikhar Dhawan (11) found the going tough against the KKR bowling attack on a slowish and difficult M Chinnaswmay pitch.
The slow scoring rate finally took a toll on Sunrisers as Dhawan perished in the second delivery of the fifth over.
Dhawan slashed at a good length delivery of Umesh only managing to balloon it to Robin Uthappa behind the stumps with the Sunrisers scoreboard reading 25 for one.
With the boundaries hard to come by, Warner finally broke the shackles in the ninth over clobbering Piyush Chawla's (1/27) short delivery over midwicket boundary for a maximum.
New man in Kane Williamson (24) showed his class as he smacked Coulter-Nile for a boundary and a huge six off consecutive balls to pick up 13 runs of the 10th over.
At the halfway stage, Sunrisers were 61 for one.
With time Warner grew in confidence and his big hitting skills came to the fore. He didn't spare a single loose ball and clobbered a marginally short delivery from Sunil Narine way over the long on boundary.
But just when the partnership between Warner and Williamson was looking dangerous, twin blows in consecutive overs rattled Sunrisers' innings.
First Williamson departed caught at extra cover by Suryakumar Yadav off Coulter-Nile while trying to lift the ball over the in-field and then in the next over dangerous Warner was cleaned up by Chawla.
The duo stitched 50 runs for the second wicket off 44 balls balls.
Yuvraj Singh (9) and young Vijay Shankar (22) shared quick 24 runs of three overs for the fourth wicket before the former fell, caught by Chawla at deep backward square-leg off Umesh while trying to up the ante.
Coulter-Nile then struck twice in the 19th over, first removing Shankar and then Chris Jordan to make matters worse for Sunrisers.
Naman Ojha made a run-a-ball 16 before perishing in the final delivery of the innings.
KKR's skipper Gautam Gambhir took to Twitter to congratulate his opponents Sunrisers Hyderabad for their effort and also calls them champions.

Define a Market Position in Your Niche in 3 Ways
To succeed in a competitive marketplace, a brand needs to have a distinct position in the minds of its intended audience. This unique niche allows a company to thrive and have a loyal base of consumers after the initial wave of one-time buyers slow down.
PR companies from Melbourne list the following ideas that enable companies to identify and establish their unique position.
Be Exceptional in One or Two Things
Being a jack-of-all-trades may seem like an ideal situation, but the problem that may arise with this approach is that your brand may lose its identity. You may end up being no one or solving no problems by being too many things to a lot of people. Positioning is about establishing a unique place in the minds of your target market. To do so, be exceptional in one or two things in your chosen niche. Focus on your strongest one or two features and use these in your marketing campaigns. Trying to remember one or two distinct things is easier for people.
Focus on a Certain Group
The same concept of being jack-of-all-trades applies to the market you want to reach. Targeting too many people spread your resources and branding thin. You may get a momentary boost in sales, but this eventually even out in the long run. What you need is a stable base of loyal consumers to achieve this stability. Also, you'll need to focus your efforts on a certain group. Doing so allows you to pour all of your attention on particular aspects of your products or services. This singularity enables your team to develop and implement ideas that solve a specific problem.
Build Worlds with Words
A story is sometimes more memorable than the actual products or services you provide. Create a narrative that your audience relates to and may follow. Personas, or even stereotypes, may help you create an interesting background for your brand.
These are only three of the strategies you can implement to create and establish a niche for your brand. Doing so allows you to send a strong message and value proposition, and distinguish your company from the competition.

Rated 2 out of 5 by delphia from Attention to Detail The dress has not been returned due to upcoming wedding this month. I purchased this dress because it was elegant and unique. My disappoint and dismay came when I noticed the poor craftsmanship, specifically beads missing and threads not trimmed can be seen under the garment. The photos attached of the sleeves are shown inside out. The untrimmed threads causes the dress to look cheap along with the missing beads down the front of the dress. It should be noted this is the second dress received in the same condition which indicates the workmanship is flawed throughout for this dress.

Rated 3 out of 5 by Renee from Potential Ordered the gown. It did not have the wow factor as in the photo. The jewels on the top portion looked very dull. However, I really liked the jeweled bottom portion of the dress. It was disappointing because I really liked the picture look; it did nothing for me once I saw it and put it on.

In a Nutshell: To borrow from my friend Annette, it's grand! Better than the first, in my opinion.
Quick Plot: Harry, Ron, and Hermione are back, ready to learn more witchcraft and wizardry, and save the school (and the wizarding world) from evil once more. This time, a strange force is roaming the grounds, hunting "muggle-borns." Several school inhabitants have already been petrified, with promises to kill scrawled on the walls in blood. If the culprit is not caught, Hogwarts will have to be closed.
In Detail: Wow! I had so much fun at this movie. Again, filmmakers seemed to have plucked characters and settings straight out of my imagination and pasted them directly on the screen. Chamber of Secrets (CoS) is, in fact, my least favorite book, and I still loved the movie. Better than the first by far. It was still a kids movie, without being quite so childish. Perhaps this is aided by the maturity of the stars. The voices of Harry and Ron have now broken, though Harry wears his new tones a bit more easily than Ron. Less "baby fat" appears on all three stars, especially Hermione. Watch out, she'll be breaking hearts soon! Draco Malfoy, once the smallest of the group, is now the tallest, adding even more menace. My second favorite character in the series makes his debut in CoS: Mr. Weasley. (Sirius Black is my fav; we'll see him next time.) Though cut to even less of a part than he had in the book, Mr. Weasley's geniality, generosity, and fascination with muggles is not in question. Lucius Malfoy, played by Jason Isaacs, also makes his first appearance, and what a brilliant casting job that was. His patented sneer was perfect, and he pulls off the white-blond hair as if he were born with it. Wonderful! Even Dobby was less annoying than I expected. Sadly, this is one of the last performances by Richard Harris. It will be interesting to see who is chosen to replace him. Several names are being thrown around (Christopher Lee, Ian McKellen, and Patrick Stewart (my fav), to name a few), but nothing definite has been announced. There is no "in memory of" because the film had already gone to print when he passed away.
The film is 2.5 hours, but I did not find it dragging in the slightest (unlike the film for Sorcerer's Stone). Several of the, um, oversized creatures were enough to give me the willies, especially at the very end. Quite creepy. I certainly don't recommend this film for children under 5 or 6, but you know your kids best. Be sure you stay through all of the credits (and there are a ton of them) for a small little clip at the end.
Will I Buy It? Absolutely! I really do love this world created by J.K. Rowling, and watching the movie is a great reminder of how much (and why) I love these books. Can't wait for the DVD!

Die Another Day
In a Nutshell: It was fine; your typical James Bond flick. Not my favorite, not the worst. Worth the price of admission for two scenes.
Quick Plot: James Bond to save the world again; need we say more? There's really not much else to say. Bad Guy is laundering illegal conflict diamonds to finance an all-powerful satellite weapon.
In Detail: Hmmm... I wasn't kidding when I said there really isn't much to say about this movie (though I'm sure I'll manage something!). :-) It's a pretty generic James Bond film. No great bad guys, no great Bond girls. Halle Berry was fine, but not great, IMO. Brosnan is starting to show his age, but he still does quite well. There seemed to be more extraneous stuff in this movie than in most. I can't tell you too much more of the plot without giving other plot points away (not that they're hard to figure out). Most of the effects were good to great, with one scene pretty poor. Most of the stunts were pretty good, but with a few too cheesy, even for a James Bond. There were also more "yeah right" moments than there should be. When you stretch beyond even Bond-level willing suspension of disbelief, you know there's a problem. Even the theme was a little off. I think the song as a song is okay, but I don't care for it as a Bond theme. The credit sequence is dazzling, if a little strange (even for a Bond).
This being the 20th Bond film, there were plenty of little things to watch for in tribute to the 19 films that came before. One of these tribute scenes is the "show Bond his new gizmos" scene with Q (played by John Cleese, formerly R). Look around that scene very carefully; lots of fun stuff for the Bond junkie. Also yields one of my favorite Bond-Q barb exchanges. Bond: "you're cleverer than you look." Q: "better than looking cleverer than you are." LOL! The funniest, most fantastic scene comes near the very end, and I can't tell you more than that without giving something away. But it is SOOO funny!! The whole theater fell apart laughing. Those two scenes alone made it worth seeing.
Will I Buy It? Yes, but only because I'm a Bond junkie myself, and I have to own them all. Were it a stand-alone film, it would be a difficult decision. It was okay to good, not great by any means, but still fun.

The Santa Clause 2
In a Nutshell: Perfectly pleasant, but a little hit and miss. The original is better.
Quick Plot: When we last left Scott Calvin, he had become Santa Claus by virtue of the first "Santa Clause." However, his elvin help forgot to mention the second clause, which states that he must get married, or he ceases to be Santa, and he only has 28 days to find a wife. He must hurry! The "de-Santa-fication" process has already begun.
In Detail: I love the original "The Santa Clause" movie, and amazingly, the entire cast returned. I do wish I had been able to see it again before we went to see the sequel, but I had to make due without. (And I can't go buy it now because it's too close to Christmas. Sheesh!) Perhaps the original isn't as wonderful as I remember, but this movie didn't fully live up. It was fine, good for kids, but it just seemed to be missing something. I think it was the sense of wonder as you watched Tim Allen follow a pretty strong character arc from Mr. Businessman to Santa, discovering the intricacies of the North Pole along the way. The scenes where he is back "on earth" are pretty good (better in the wife department than the son department), but the scenes with the substitute Santa (left to keep the elves working) felt strained, and I didn't find them especially funny. I know part of the point was that he only had 28 days to find a wife, but the whole movie felt a bit rushed. Some touching moments, and a great scene with the council of "other mythical beings," but it just wasn't the same, or even as good, as the original. Again, perfectly fine, but not great. Trekkies, keep your eyes open!
Will I Buy It? Perhaps when I'm in the market for films my kids can watch that I don't mind watching, we'll invest in this one, but I don't predict us picking it up before then.

Spirited Away
In a Nutshell: Interesting, but I don't think I fully "got it."
Quick Plot: (Brief but important background: This is a film from a Japanese master of Anime. This is the most successful film of all time in Japan, distributed in the US by Disney. It is dubbed, not subtitled.) A girl and her family stumble upon a resort for the spirits. When her parents become enchanted by the place and are kidnapped, Chihiro must take on the witch Yubaba to save them and herself, with the help of a variety of unusual friends.
In Detail: Um, yeah. It was, ah, interesting. Honestly, I think the cultural gap is too large, at least for me. The film was fine, meaning that it made sense and followed a "normal" progression. The story was different (though perhaps common in Japan). But when it was finished, I just thought "okay, I have no idea what the point of that really was." I think there were lots of references, both visual and perhaps in the names, that were simply lost on me since I don't have any kind of understanding of Japanese culture and spirituality. Even my brother, who is a great fan of Anime/Japanimation, said he didn't really get it either. An interesting cultural experience, one I am happy to have had, but not one I care to repeat any time soon.
Will I Buy It? No. It didn't make enough sense to me, so I would not enjoy repeat viewings.

Gone in 60 Seconds
In a Nutshell: Typical no-brainer action flick, a fun 2 hours.
Quick Plot: Memphis Raines is a retired (but still infamous) car thief. When his kid brother signs a deal to "boost" 50 cars and can't deliver, Memphis assembles his old crew in order to "acquire" the goods, and save his brother's life.
In Detail: Well, I don't have much detail to give. Another predictable film, this time in the action department. A perfectly fun 2-hours, with nothing deep to linger with you once it's finished. Nothing wrong with those kinds of films, but I like others in this genre better. The car chase was quite good, and I'm a sucker for those for some strange reason (must be all those James Bond films and Dukes of Hazzard episodes I watched as a kid). Not a bad outing for Nicolas Cage, not a great role for Angelina Jolie, and everyone else was pretty ho-hum. Not even a great villain. ::shrug:: If you're looking for a fun action flick you haven't seen, give this one a try. Just know what to expect.
Will I Buy It? Doubtful. I wouldn't watch it enough to make it worth it. As I said, there are others I like better in this genre.

Return To Me
In a Nutshell: A perfectly pleasant rom-com (romantic comedy), with some funny, touching, and sweet moments.
Quick Plot: Following the death of his wife, Bob (David Duchovney) meets and falls for Grace (Minnie Driver), only to discover that Grace has had a heart transplant, and the heart she received was his wife's.
In Detail: I call this a fluff movie, but that is in no way a bad thing! Everything is scripted and predictable, and you know how it's going to end before it even starts. But that doesn't make the journey any less sweet or pleasant. In a way, it's a throw-back to the older formula films, and it's just as comforting. Minnie Driver is charming as ever, Bonnie Hunt and James Belushi have small but wonderful parts, and Robert Loggia and Carroll O'Connor (along with their kooky bunch of friends) steal the show. Very cute, with some great scenes. Worth renting for a nice sweet escape for a couple of hours.
Will I Buy It? Hmm... I don't know. I have several films already that fall into this "fluff" category, and as I prefer some others to this one, I don't intend to rush right out and get it. But if I found it on a sale rack for a reasonable price, I would certainly pick it up.

In a Nutshell: Typical Philip K. Dick story, extremely well cast in most respects, and quite well done.
Quick Plot: Spencer Olham is a premiere scientist who has designed the ultimate weapon against the aliens that threaten to take over the earth. He arrives at work, only to be taken into custody by the ESA (Earth Security Agency), accused of being a genetic replica with a bomb in his heart, set to detonate upon meeting the chancellor. He escapes, trying to prove his innocence, while being hunted by the ESA as the city's most wanted criminal.
In Detail: You know me, I love sci-fi, and I'm quite fond of Philip K. Dick stories. They always have great worlds and good plot twists. While not the best in the world, there was still plenty for me to like in this film, primarily the casting. I adore Gary Sinise, and he's great as always. Madeline Stowe plays her typical part, but I like her anyway. And new to my "favorite actors" list is Vincent D'Onofrio. The more I see him, the more I like him, and he is perfect for the lead ESA investigator. I don't care much for Mehki Pheiffer, though this role wasn't bad for him. I was able to predict the majority of the plot twists this time, but that didn't make it any less fun, and I only ended up being partly right. Better than Minority Report, IMO. If you like Gary Sinise, Vincent D'Onofrio, Philip K. Dick, or sci-fi in general, you'd probably like this movie. A good rental.
Will I Buy It? Mmm.... I'm not sure. I think I'm starting to get picky in my old age! I'm more likely to buy this one than Minority Report (also a Philip K. Dick story), but it's not a must have.

The Cat's Meow
In a Nutshell: Great cast, fairly good movie. Definitely fun if you love the roarin' 20s.
Quick Plot: William Randolph Hurst throws a party for his friend Tom, a formerly in-demand film producer who's career has hit a rough patch. Assembling various famous figures from Hurst's real-life exploits (including his mistress Marion Davies and her rumored lover Charlie Chaplin), this film tells the story of that weekend, and a much-rumored murder that supposedly took place.
In Detail: Strangely, this film strikes me much like the American version of Gosford Park. Perhaps I connected more with "Cat" than "Gosford" simply due to culture. I know a bit about Hurst and Davies and Chaplin, and the lives they lead in the mid-1920's, so maybe that gave it more weight and relevance to me personally. The casting is exquisite, the direction and set-up quite good. I thought it was fun, but I know it won't be everyone's cup of tea (or glass of bathtub gin, as the case may be). Kirsten Dunst shines! She was perfect for this role. Edward Herrmann is great as Hurst (I've always thought they favored each other a bit). The other characters are quite good, though I personally could have done without Jennifer Tilly. A great study into the era, and a great theory about what really happened on that yachting trip.
Will I Buy It? I'm not sure. I liked it more than my husband, even enough to buy it, but again, I'm not sure I'd watch it enough to make it worthwhile. It's on my "thinking about" list.

General Motors Corp. is holding off on plans for virtually all new rear-wheel drive cars in response to the threat of far stricter fuel economy standards from the federal government.
Concerned that heightened mileage requirements will penalize the automaker for producing new versions of high-performance rear-wheelers, GM is halting all but a few of the vehicles in its future lineup.
Word of GM's change in plans came this week from GM product czar Bob Lutz in an interview with the Chicago Tribune. A GM spokesman confirmed the information on Wednesday.
While GM wouldn't give specifics, the move could mean consumers will never see a rear-wheel replacement for the full-size Buick Lucerne and Chevrolet Impala sedans or a small rear-drive Cadillac compact.
Still in the works, however, are a Chevy Camaro sports coupe due out next year and the Pontiac G8 sedan, which is being developed with GM subsidiary Holden in Australia.
"It says they are making a commitment to maximizing fuel economy and maximizing fuel efficiency, and that makes sense," said Tom Libby, an analyst with J.D. Power and Associates' Power Information Network.
The Bush administration wants to reduce U.S. gasoline usage 20 percent by 2017, in part by raising fuel economy standards an average of 4 percent annually. That would bring cars to an average 34 mpg by 2017, up from 27.5 mpg today. Also, the Supreme Court ruled last week that the Environmental Protection Agency has the authority to regulate cars' carbon dioxide emissions.
Lutz has been a scathing critic of the Bush plan, arguing that such a mandate could add $5,000 to the average cost of vehicles. "It would bring the market to a standstill," he told The Detroit News in an interview last week during the New York Auto Show. "We've pushed the pause button. It's no longer full speed [email protected]@[email protected]@
Rear-drive uses more gas
Front-wheel drive vehicles became popular alternatives to rear-drive cars during the oil crisis in the 1970s. Rear-drive vehicles typically suck more gas because they are heavier and tend to be tuned for high-performance driving.
GM appears to be the first automaker to shift its product pipeline based on the growing possibility of strict fuel economy mandates, though its crosstown rivals say they're watching fuel economy regulations closely.
Ford Motor Co. spokesman Jim Cain said its plans already are heavy on vehicles that feature fuel-saving technologies, with no all-new rear-drive cars in the works. Ford, however, will continue producing new versions of its Mustang muscle car.
DaimlerChrysler AG's Chrysler Group, which has spawned several rear-drive vehicles from the Chrysler 300 architecture, on Wednesday said it has no plans to back away from that market. The Auburn Hills automaker has plans to revive the Dodge Challenger muscle car at the end of next year.
"We've had some great success with that architecture," Chrysler Group spokesman Rick Deneau said. Fuel economy regulations aren't "affecting plans for anything we're going forward with."
Instead, he said, Chrysler will focus on improving technology on rear-wheel drives to make them more fuel-efficient. It does, however, plan to ramp up investment in fuel-sipping small vehicles.
"You arrive at a balanced product plan and then you work on the technology to deliver the fuel economy that isn't just what the government requires, but what consumers expect," Chrysler spokeswoman Colleen O'Connor said.
Change of heart seen
GM's decision to put the brakes on rear-wheel drive models is the latest twist in GM's on-again, off-again attraction to the vehicles. Lutz first championed GM's new rear-wheel-drive platform, known as Zeta, in 2003 as the industry was turning its attention toward rear-wheel-drive vehicles. The Chrysler 300C and revamped Ford Mustang were smash hits.
Two years later, though, GM killed plans for a line of rear-wheel drive sedans set to come out in 2008, largely to free up resources to speed up production of new lines of large pickups and sport utility vehicles. But the automaker reversed that decision, laying the groundwork for rear-drive vehicles in several of its brands.
Now, it seems, most of those plans are off. "It's too late to stop Camaro, but anything after that is questionable or on the bubble," Lutz told the Tribune. "We'll decide on our rear-drive cars when the government decides on CO2 levels and CAFE regulations."
While the move is bound to upset some rear-drive loyalists, GM's approach makes sense, said Jesse Toprak, senior analyst with Edmunds.com, an automotive resource tailored for consumers.
"They are prioritizing their resources and putting those funds into next-generation trucks and sport utility vehicles," he said. "They're being forced to do it."

Redeeming Regret
We all have regrets. Maybe it's the game-winning goal you missed in high school, or the recent promotion that passed you by. It might be the choices you made that led to your current loveless marriage, or the strained relationship with your wayward child. We can spend a lifetime trying to cope with our regrets, but there is a better solution. God offers us redemption. In Christ, payment has been made for every sin, every loss and every mistake we've ever made. His redemption gives us unquenchable joy, divine purpose, an eternal inheritance and a personal relationship with our Creator. Let go of regret, and rest at the feet of your Redeemer.
Scripture References: Ruth 3:1-18; 1 John 3:17-18; Luke 14:12-14; 1 Peter 4:1-2

I hate having to call up customer service for anything customer service related. The wait time is way too long. I just wanted a simple question answered so why do I have to wait so long for a simple answer. My calls to customer service are rarely ever pleasant. But this time around, it wasn't too bad.
I checked my Visa statement this morning and saw that Bell Sympatico charged my credit card for my monthly internet service. The thing that struck me as odd was the amount that was charged. Normally, I would be paying $49.93 a month but this charge was for the amount of $58.25. I was curious about the price increase because I should be getting my first month free. I called up customer service to find out where the extra $10 came from.
The first thing that I hate about calling customer service is that stupid lady that comes on the phone and tells you what button to press to make sure you're speaking with the right person. I tried to skip all of that by pressing zero a few times. But they make "changes to the system to better serve us" all the time so a zero doesn't always guarantee that you will reach an actual representative. For Bell Sympatico, they asked me to enter my telephone number to verify if I'm an existing customer or not. Then they ask me to enter my PIN, which I don't know and don't enter. After not entering my PIN, the system thanks me for entering my PIN and asks me to wait.
After pressing the necessary combination of buttons, you have to wait about five minutes before someone takes your call. During those five minutes, they play the most boringiest music that I've ever heard. Yes, boringiest is a word. The bad thing about it is that some of those songs are rather catchy and I find myself humming along, only to be caught off guard when a representative answers the call.
Sometimes, while you're waiting, there's that automated voice that comes on to inform you that "due to higher than normal call volumes, your call has been placed in priority sequence." I don't know how they prioritize our calls since the system asked which department I wanted to speak with. I think that the more buttons you press the more the system sense your urgency and raises your priority. But I could be wrong.
My call today call lasted just less than thirty minutes. Out of those thirty minutes, I would estimate that I spend about twenty five minutes on hold. From my past experiences at Rogers, I know that when you're placed on hold, the representative can still hear you. All they did was press a button so that you can't hear them. They probably disguise it with that hold music. My conversation with the representative went as follows.
Rep: Hello! My name is Shawn. How may I help you today?
Me: Yes, I have a little question regarding my most recent invoice.
Rep: One moment, I'll have that invoice pull up to the screen here.
a few second pause…
Okay, I'm all ears.
Me: Right. There is a charge here on my credit card for the amount of $58.25. Normally, my monthly invoice comes out to $49.93 so I was wondering if you can tell me why there was an increase.
Rep: Sure. Let me have a look here.
more pauses…
Okay. I don't see a record of that charge being made. I see here that there's an invoice for $37.75 but that's not supposed to be deducted until November.
Me: Well, I recently signed a new contract. Would that change the account number in any way?
Rep: No. Even if it did, that account should be linked to your new one.
Me: What about this? The regular charge for $49.93 was by BCE-Sympatico Internet in Montreal, Quebec and the charge for $58.25 was by BCE-Sympatico Internet in Ottawa, Ontario.
Rep: No, the location doesn't make a difference. I just can't seem to find a record for that payment. How about this? I'll put you on hold for two minutes and I'll look around to see if I can find where that charge came from.
Me: Sure, I'll hold.
I was on hold for ten minutes.
Rep: Hello Don. Thanks for holding. Did you recently lend your credit to someone to make a purchase?
Me: No, not that I… Well, there was this one time at Futureshop. About a few weeks ago, I used my credit card as a credit check for a friend, to help them sign up for Sympatico.
Rep: And that name of that person?
Me: Yvette.
Rep: Yes, that's right. It appears that you're paying for her internet service.
Me: Say what? Come again?
Rep: When you used your credit card at Futureshop, they use that credit card as billing information for that account. I couldn't find a record of that charge on your account so I ran a search for your credit card number and sure enough, there was a record of that card on the other account.
Me: But the sales rep said that I wouldn't be charged anything on my card.
Rep: That's the second time I've heard that today. Yeah, that's what they did. What I would recommend is that you call up Yvette and have her call us to get the billing information changed over to her name. As for the $58.25, I would suggest you ask her to pay you that amount because to reverse the charges through us would give you more headaches.
Me: Damn it, I knew that sales rep didn't know what he was talking about.
Rep: Yeah, you might want to call up Futureshop and give them heck for this. They seem to be doing this a lot. But what's important is that you get a hold of Yvette and ask her to give us a call so we have this straightened out.
Me: Oh, of course. I'll have that done.
The sales rep at Futureshop said that they would not charge my credit card for the registration of my friend's internet account. The credit card was only used for credit checking purposes and it was used to verify the credit rating. I wasn't supposed to be charged a penny. He didn't mention anything about using my credit card for billing information for my friend's account. My friend didn't even want to use my credit card to do the credit check because she's not a fan of credit cards but since the sales rep said that my credit card wasn't going to be charged anything we agreed to it.
Futureshop needs to start hiring people who knows what they're selling. Some of the workers there don't have a clue about the product. When I applied to be a Sales Rep, they asked me nothing about my selling skills. They kept asking about my goals and how I planned to achieved them. My goal at the time was to graduate from college. But apparently, that goal wasn't good enough for them because I never got the job. They were looking for someone who was more ambitious because they wanted a Sales Rep who is eager to achieve success and wealth. I was eager to achieve wealth too, that was why I applied for the job. I was a college student and I needed money. But I would rather choose my education over money any day. If that wasn't a good enough answer for the interviewers then I'm glad I didn't get the job.

We are currently performing a LAN refresh and replacing our switches.
Sometimes it's a 1:1 replacement with a newer model and sometimes 2 or 3 switches are replaced with a stack.
If I had Switch1, Switch2 and Switch3 and replaced them with a stack of Switch1, the Switch would have the same name and IP Address of the Original Switch1.
If I delete Sw1, Sw2 and Sw3 and recreate Sw1, will the existing historical performance data be kept anywhere?
Many thanks.

Mani Ratnam to use sync sound for his next film
Mani Ratnam has decided to use sync sound for the upcoming Tamil project starring Karthi, Dulquer Salmaan and Keerthi Suresh. The filmmaker used the same technology for his film OK Kanmani and was very happy with the outcome.regional-movies Updated: Sep 09, 2015 19:20 IST
The upcoming yet-untitled Tamil revenge drama by filmmaker Mani Ratnam will be shot in sync sound. Mani had shot his last film OK Kanmani in sync sound as well. Sync sound allows filmmakers to record sound during the filming of the movie and is mostly done live on locations.
"Impressed with the sound output in OK Kanmani, Ratnam sir has decided to shoot his next film also in sync sound," said a source from the film's unit. Since the film will be shot in sync sound, Ratnam is very particular that his actors are fluent in Tamil.
"One of the reasons why he chose Keerthi Suresh is because she's very fluent in Tamil. He's on the lookout for the second heroine," the source said. The film also stars Karthi and Dulquer Salmaan, and they'll be pitted against each other in the film.
Regular shooting of the film will start from December. Cinematographer Ravi Varman will shoot for this untitled film, which will have music by AR Rahman.

I am actually quite wicked: Raima
Raima Sen feels that an actor's roles can mislead people about the actors themselves. Ritika Chopra speaks to the star.india Updated: Apr 27, 2007 19:07 IST
With almost eight years in the industry and having acted in over 15 films, Raima Sen believes that her career as an actor has just taken off. HT City caught up with Sen on the sets of The Japanese Wife.
Excerpts of an interview:
First, let's get one thing clear. Were you at the AbhiAsh wedding?
No! I don't understand why everyone is asking me this question. For some reason this rumour is confined to Kolkata.
Tell us about your character in the film.
I play a widow who has an eight-year-old son in the film. My character has been through a lot. She is quiet, reserved and dignified.
Audiences haven't seen you in a lead role as yet…
I have decided not to play the second lead in films anymore. The Japanese Wife would be the last project where audiences would see Raima playing a supporting character. I would obviously make an exception for a big banner film where I know that I would get noticed even in a small role. That apart, I am going to be a bit choosy.
<b1>You have been in the industry for a while now. Does it bother you that the media still introduces you as Moon Moon Sen's daughter and Suchitra Sen's granddaughter?
On the contrary, I am quite proud of that. I am happy that I have such a good background. Why should it irk me?
Don't you want an identity of your own?
My family is important to me. There's no reason why I should have a problem with such introductions.
Ok, so did this background make your foray into films easy?
My mother never went around asking directors and producers to cast me in their films. Yes, getting my first film was a cakewalk, but after that my dues as an actor have been trickling in at a slow pace. I guess that means that I am going to last really long in this industry.
Riya and you come across as people who are poles apart. While she's in the news for both right and wrong reasons, you've usually stayed away from the spotlight...
(She interrupts) Riya and I are not at all different. People have different perceptions about us because of the kind of roles we play in films. What they need to realise is that we are not the characters we play on screen. I might come across as a reticent and reserved person, but people will be surprised to know that I am actually quite wicked and naughty.
What else are you working on?
Currently, this is the only film I am acting in. I do have a couple of scripts waiting for me in Mumbai.

The Planner's Intensive
9 speakers. 9 hours. 3 evenings.
I believe in being a lifelong learner in ALL areas of my life. As an entrepreneurial wedding planner, it's so important that my skills are not only in wedding planning, but also in business, finance, and simply people. I'm always perusing the internet for courses that will help me grow in order to provide the best services to my clients.
I knew the Planner's Intensive put on by Kat Schmoyer was for me because it dove into very specific content that would help me develop as planner. I'm all about intense work. I get frustrated when a conference is slow paced. I was impressed that in 9 hours, 9 different topics were going to be covered. In each hour, I believed that a lot could be covered, especially through a webinar because the speaker could be focused on their content the entire time with questions left to the end. (I also adore Kat and admire the path she has taken because it's very similar to my own).
Here's are the range of topics we dove into in the 9 hours:
- the design process
- pricing services
- curating a wedding day timeline
- the best way to offer wedding day execution
- developing a quality contract
- building a team
- sales
- making the most out of client experience
During the entire process, I rapidly took notes, asked questions, and grew myself a to-do list. With a webinar, attendees can still ask questions, but there was also a FB group of planners throughout the country. The group in itself was an asset because we each had different perspectives and experiences to share. It was such an important piece to the conference.
This intensive left me inspired because it was practical learning that I could apply immediately. One thing I know for sure about myself is that I am full of drive. When something is written under a to-do list, I tackle it as soon as I'm able. I instantly put the learning into action, which is exactly what I did with this conference. For example, I jumped into creating a welcome packet for my new clients and I LOVE it! I'm grateful for Kat for putting this course together with so many talented women in the industry and I'm looking forward to my next conference opportunity!

According to multiple tech outlets, Samsung is rumoured to be working on a folding smartphone and report even has it that the prototype has already been built.
The folding smartphone is dubbed Samsung Galaxy X, which many believe could be a pointed swipe at Samsung's arch rival 'Apple and its iPhone X.
Multiple tech outlets are suggesting Samsung has been privately showing off the device at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas.
Read: Samsung Confirms It Will Unveil Galaxy S9 Next Month
According to local reports, Samsung not only shared a glimpse of the phone but also a suggested launch timetable for it.
"Samsung Display said it has developed a 7.3-inch foldable panel with plans to start production later this year," an industry source told The Korean Herald on condition of anonymity.
The news comes after Lets Go Digital uncovered a series of sketches submitted by Samsung to the Korean Intellectual Property Office under the same model number in 2017.
The sketches suggest that the Galaxy X will have a flip-phone design with two displays – one of which will be flexible – and a multi-joint hinge, similar to the one on Microsoft's Surface Book .

Koh Dong-jin, president of Samsung's mobile business, has also hinted the company would launch a smartphone with a bendable display in 2018.
However, he admitted at the time that there were several hurdles that needed to be overcome before the device could go into production.
"As the head of the business, I can say our current goal is next year," he said during a media day for the launch of the Galaxy Note 8 in August.
"When we can overcome some problems for sure, we will launch the product."

This space is perfect for entertaining or keeping your eye on the kiddiewinks running around outside.
