Hey folks, I just found out from my cousin Tim Tipton, that now Bill and I are featured on the GBLT News Facebook page. We're going to have to get married now.
Seriously though, I hope to God that we live long enough to realize our dream of showing to the world that two gay people can be as committed to a loving relationship as any heterosexual couple. And anyone who knows me knows that I like to break stereotypes.
Many thanks to my cousin Tim Tipton who suggested that I post the information that Bill and I have been together since July of 1964, that rainy summer night we met. That was the night I was in the Westbury Bar on South 15th Street in Philadelphia that I decided to go over to the other side of the bar and thank that handsome man who always sent drinks over to me whenever he saw me in the bar with my friends Ron (another "Ron") and Ed.
|Center City Philadelphia, PA
I never paid him much attention and in fact my friends and I used to joke that it was going to take more than a drink to pick me up. I had seen Bill many times before in the bar, playing the Skeet Ball machine with his friends. I knew he was popular and I wasn't about to become another notch on his belt. So when Bill used to send a drink over through his friend Jerry the Bartender, we would laugh among ourselves saying "Oh him again?"
|Me (left) with Jerry the Bartender who I found out was a GOOD FRIEND of Bill's at Bill's apartment in Pennsauken, NJ (yes, that is a cigarette in my hand and horn rim glasses on my face)
I was surprised. He wasn't at all obnoxious like I assumed he would be. I don't remember exactly how our conversation went but I do remember him telling me he liked "tall, thin guys." I'm 6'4" (or was, I'm now 6'3") and weighed about 160 lbs (170 lbs now). He continued to surprise me by not being a bore and listening to me talk.....and talk....and talk. I like to talk.

While we were talking another guy came by who was also named "Ron" (not my friend Ron) and started to talk to me. It was obvious he was trying to pick me up. I wasn't interested in him. I was waiting for Bill to rescue me. Bill didn't. He just stood there, leaning slightly on the juke box with a slight smile on his face watching me trying to discourage this other Ron.
|Me and Bill at our house in Philadelphia - 1970
The Other Ron was becoming more insistent when finally Bill said "Would you like to stop over at my place for a drink?" Would I? He lived in Pennsauken, New Jersey; over the Walt Whitman Bridge so "over there" was going to mean a car ride (I lived in Coatesville, PA 42 miles east of Philadelphia which was where all this was going down). I opted to go with Bill. Of course the Other Ron was much disappointed but I was free. Remember, this was when I was a Shy Young Thing.
|Me and Bill at my parents' house Downingtown, PA - 1978
Long story short, I went home with Bill and we've been together ever since. That was forty-eight wonderful years ago. Here I met my Prince Charming and I didn't even know it. You just never know.

The sun rises in the east and sets in the west. The same might also be said of the watch industry. In this issue, we explore the trends and developments in the Far East among other insights on the industry, including the newest watch products. Check out the new issues of Europa Star Global and Première.
Europa Star Time.Business
Serge Maillard kicks things off with an editorial on the "Fat East." No, that's not a typo, and it might be a bit controversial. But the growing hunger for timepieces (including other goods) in China by its growing middle class will continue to drive growth in the watch industry. After all, a 4 billion Swiss franc market for Swiss watches (compared to 1.5 billion in 2000) can't be wrong.
Europa Star spent a month on the ground in China and Japan to explore this trend and many others in this issue. Mainland China, for example, exported more than 652 million wristwatches in 2016. We explore who are the real giants of the Chinese watchmaking industry.
Then we go across the East China Sea to Japan, where we take a look at the country's three watchmaking giants: Seiko, Casio and Citizen. Each has played a role in revolutionizing the industry in its own way, and each is generally known for its affordable yet durable watches. But now, these brands are looking to augment their premium lines.
The Far (or "Fat") East will also have implications for the environment. With millennials as a target consumer demographic and with many watch brands focusing on sustainable product development, is there real change on the way?
To round things off, in the segment "A Last Word to Start" Pierre Maillard looks into the topic of watches and fetishism, and more specifically at the skyrocketing prices of recent watch auctions (think Paul Newman's Paul Newman Rolex Daytona), and what actually gives a watch its value.
Europa Star Time.Keeper
Who are the main competitors of major watch brands? Surprise, surprise – it turns out that their main competitors may in fact be themselves. We look into the marriage of a new industry (technology) and old one (mechanical watchmaking) and the growing market for luxury second-hand watches that are largely outside the control of brands themselves.
We then anticipate a milestone of a watch model that has revolutionized the industry, the G-SHOCK, which celebrates its 35th anniversary in 2018. The MR-G and G-Steel lines, however, indicate that Casio is another brand that is looking to upscale its proposition.
A special series also looks into iconic chronograph watches. Contributions include the first automatic chronograph to be marketed, the Seiko 5 Speed Timer, among other special models.
And while we're on the topic of Seiko, and with the 2018 winter Olympics fast approaching, we revisit the history of timekeeping in sports. It was the 1964 Olympic Games in Tokyo where Seiko changed the nature of sporting competition forever, and also made a name for itself on the international arena.

Madonna to perform at Super Bowl with Cirque du Soleil
Madonna will team up with Canada's Cirque du Soleil team for the 2012 Super Bowl game. In addition to Cirque, another Montreal-based company, the Moment Factory, will be working with the eternal Material Girl to make for some cool Canadian content at the event.
She'll be working with Jamie King, who recently directed the Cirque's Michael Jackson The Immortal World Tour will be part of the team for this gig, her first Super Bowl appearance. Read all about in Rolling Stone, The Daily Mail, or the New York Times.
Quebec and Madonna go way back: when she came to Quebec in 1987 for the "Who's That Girl Tour", she revealed that her mother was French-American. Since then, her ancestors have been traced back to Quebec, so it's that she'll be working with famous Quebec companies for this concert.
The 2012 Super Bowl will take place on Feb. 5, 2012 at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, Indiana. The show is the most-watched musical event of the year, with more than 162 million in the U.S. tuning in to see The Black Eyed Peas' performance at halftime last February.


text: January 29 - Paper to Digi Hello everyone! Welcome to Day 29 of the Month of Challenges here at The Lilypad! I can't believe that this is the last week of our Month of Challenges, only three more Challenges... I hope you enjoyed all so far. Today's Challenge is "Paper to Digi"... I love to see beautiful "real" paper layouts, they are so inspiring and I like to touch all these cute little elements. BUT I prefer digital scrapbooking because here I have the possibility to easily change a thing, move it around, to see how it will look before everything is "fixed". And I can use everything more than once. In this challenge we try to achieve a "real-paper" looking layout, it's also a sort of scraplift... Look for a paper layout (please make sure that it is a real paper layout!) you like and try to scraplift this in digital, using digital papers and elements. It mustn't be a exact scraplift, but it should be visible that your new created page is based on the paper layout you have chosen. You find pictures of real paper scrap layouts on many sites in the internet, here is a link which I found when I searched for beautiful layouts: *click* I decided to use this lovely paper layout created by Sheree Forcier as my inspiration: And this is my digital layout: When looking more accurate on a paper layout then there are some things which I notice as "typical": - not everything is 100% precise as it is "handmade" - shadows! - paper layouts often include handwriting or stamped elements - papers are often not only glued, but also stitched with a sewing machine So that's why I decided to give you some tips/hints: - if you want to include your own handwriting, Heather Joyce creates your own custom font of your handwriting! - Realistic looking shadows are great! If shadows are challenging for you, there are some elements in the store that can help you: * Valorie Wibbens has the "A Bit Worn" series: * If you can't create them by your own, maybe this is something for you: - And there are many, many packs with stitches in the shop! Here are some examples: Requirements for this Challenge: - Search a real paper scrap layout you like and create a digital layout based on this - It mustn't be a exact copy, but it should be recognizable that you used the paper layout as inspration, a bit like a scraplift - No Templates! - Please don't forget to give correct credits/link to the paper layout which you used as inspiration (also in the gallery!)! Post a link or image of the layout you chose along with your layout in this thread. General Requirements: Your page must be a new page in order to count for the Month of Challenges. Your page must also be posted in three places: Uploaded to the TLP Gallery (not an outside hosting site). Posted in your page thread you created in the MOC Layouts Folder. You should have one post per completed challenge page. If you complete all 31 challenges, your thread should contain 31 posts. Please do not comment in the participants' page threads so we can keep them clean. Posted in this thread. People can comment here if they wish. Pages should contain at least 75% current Lilypad product (currently for sale in the store from either permanent designers or guest designers). I can't wait to see what you create!!!

Shattering the image of the faith-based film industry as a place where the bedrock Christian values of honesty and compassion for one's fellow man rule, Deadline reports that a new lawsuit alleges that the producers of God's Not Dead stole the idea for the film from one of their fellow right-wing-baiting filmflam artists.
The filmflam artist in question is John Sullivan, not the co-director of 2016: Obama's America and America: Imagine The World Without Her who was sentenced to five months in a San Diego reeducation camp by the shadowy forces that control our government, but the other one. Sullivan alleges that the idea for God's Not Dead was taken from a treatment he wrote in 2009 called Proof, which he describes as "a faith-based Dead Poets' Society." In the lawsuit, which was filed in L.A. Superior Court last week, Sullivan and co-plaintiff Brad Stine, an actor who has appeared in a number of faith-based films, allege that God's Not Dead is "is the Proof film simply slightly modified and re-titled liberally" and "substantially draws upon material from the Proof Treatments, including the genre, mood, pace, themes, settings, characters and plot points."
Stine and Sullivan are seeking "at least" $10 million in damages, a fairly hefty sum of the $60 million God's Not Dead made at the box office. Whether they'll get it depends on whether they can prove that producer Pure Flix actually promised them the compensation for their treatment and producer credits on the project that their lawsuit alleges it did. Proving that will be made more difficult by the recent death of Pure Flix partner and God's Not Dead producer Russell Wolfe, who died of complications from ALS two days before the lawsuit was filed and is named several times in the complaint.

Uneventful flight into San Francisco today. I'll be up late tonight and then flying out tomorrow afternoon to home, hearth and wonderful family.
I was chatting with Trish on the phone waiting for boarding to end and as I said goodbye I told her, as I always do, that I love her. The woman sitting next to me leaned over and said she thought it was nice that I told someone I loved them.
"It made me grin," she said.
"You can't say it enough," I replied.
Warm feelings all around.

Southern Oscillation Index
While the SOI is an important index that tracks changes in tropical air pressure, we consider a much wider range of atmospheric and oceanic conditions when we assess the status of ENSO. This includes winds, clouds, ocean currents and both surface and sub-surface ocean temperatures, as well as outlooks for the months ahead.

ENSO timeline
Equatorial sea surface temperatures (SSTs) in the eastern Pacific have cooled in the past fortnight, and are now at neutral levels for the first time since April 2015. Meanwhile, equatorial SSTs in the western Pacific remained warmer than normal in parts. (See: animation of recent SST changes).
SSTs more than 1 °C warmer than average persist in areas to the north and east of the Australian continent, and around Tasmania.
SSTs in the Indian Ocean broadly remain more than 1 °C above average.
The tropical Pacific Ocean has returned to a neutral El Niño–Southern Oscillation (ENSO) state. Sea surface temperatures across the tropical Pacific have cooled to neutral levels over the past fortnight, supported by much cooler-than-average waters beneath the surface. In the atmosphere, indicators such as the trade winds, cloudiness near the Date Line, and the Southern Oscillation Index have also returned to neutral levels. Outlooks suggest little chance of returning to El Niño levels, in which case mid-May will mark the end of the 2015–16 El Niño.
International climate models indicate the tropical Pacific Ocean will continue to cool, with six of eight models suggesting La Niña is likely to form during the austral winter (June–August). However, individual model outlooks show a large spread between neutral and La Niña scenarios.
Changes in the tropical Pacific Ocean and atmosphere, combined with current climate model outlooks, suggest the likelihood of La Niña forming later in 2016 is around 50%, meaning the Bureau's ENSO Outlook remains at La Niña WATCH.
Typically during La Niña, winter-spring rainfall is above average over northern, central and eastern Australia.
Climate model outlooks for the Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD) suggest a negative IOD event is likely to develop during the austral winter. However, outlook accuracy for the IOD at this time of year is low. A negative IOD typically brings increased winter-spring rainfall to southern Australia.
May has seen cloudiness near the Date Line return to values closer to average, consistent with a return to a neutral ENSO state.
Equatorial cloudiness near the Date Line typically increases during El Niño (below average OLR) and decreases during La Niña (above average OLR).
Pacific trade winds near the equator are close to normal for the 5 days ending 22 May. Trade winds have largely been close to normal since the start of March. The return to near-normal trade winds is consistent with a return to a neutral El Niño–Southern Oscillation (ENSO) state.
During La Niña events, there is a sustained strengthening of the trade winds across much of the tropical Pacific, while during El Niño events there is a sustained weakening, or even reversal, of the trade winds.
International climate models indicate the tropical Pacific Ocean will continue to cool, with six of the eight models surveyed suggesting La Niña is likely to form during the austral winter (June–August). However, individual model outlooks show a large spread between neutral and La Niña scenarios.
April 2016 SSTs remained more than 1 °C above average over parts of the tropical eastern and central Pacific. However, compared to March, that area had decreased notably, especially north of the equator, and east of 130° W along the equator, where some areas were close to their long term average. The decrease in SSTs in the tropical eastern Pacific is consistent with the decay of El Niño. SSTs northeast of Australia have decreased since March but remained more than 0.5 °C warmer than average.
April NINO values showed that the NINO3 region in the eastern Pacific cooled by 0.7 °C and the NINO3.4 region cooled by 0.5 °C compared to March, continuing the cooling trend since the end of 2015. Values in the Bureau dataset for NINO3, NINO3.4 and NINO4 were +0.8 °C, +1.0 °C and +0.8 °C for April, respectively.
During April, positive anomalies in the central and eastern Indian Ocean expanded, but contracted in the west.
The 30-day Southern Oscillation Index (SOI) to 22 May is -2.6, up more than 11 points since last fortnight (-14.4 on 8 May) and once again in the neutral range. It is likely to rise further in the coming weeks as strong negative values leave the 30-day window.
Sustained positive values of the SOI above +7 typically indicate La Niña while sustained negative values below −7 typically indicate El Niño. Values between about +7 and −7 generally indicate neutral conditions.
The Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD) is neutral. The weekly Dipole Mode Index value to 22 May is -0.33 °C.
Currently all but one of the international models monitored by the Bureau indicate negative IOD conditions are possible by June. However, model skill is generally lower at this time of year, and outlooks should be used with caution. Negative IOD events are more likely to occur during La Niña. Sea surface temperatures (SSTs) remain significantly warmer than average across the tropical Indian Ocean.
The four-month sequence of sub-surface temperatures anomalies shows the clear cooling trend in the top 100 m of the equatorial Pacific since February. Cool anomalies have spanned the entire equatorial Pacific since April. The first week of May saw the removal of almost all the remaining warmer than average water in the top 50 m. Most of the top 50 m of water west of about 150° W is now close to average.
The 5-day sub-surface temperature map ending 22 May shows that water below the equatorial Pacific is below or near average. In some areas, cooler than average waters have now reached the surface.
Sub-surface temperature anomalies more than 3 °C cooler than average continue to expand, particularly in the central equatorial Pacific sub-surface, where anomalies are now more than 4 °C cooler than average at a depth of around 125m.

MaixPy - new port
loboris last edited by
A new port of Sipeed's MaixPy (MicroPython for K210), based on FreeRTOS is now available on GitHub.
Still in beta, but ready for testing.
In the next couple of days I will push to GitHub more information and documentation about the port, build system, modules, kendryte-freertos-sdk changes, etc.
Wiki pages should be available next week.
A Forum dedicated to this MicroPython port is also opened.

Define close-up. Picture of Feminine bare body shut-up. Firstly when ever you do macro pictures think about your lenses fastidiously. A filter maximizes the focusing distance of the photographers' camera lenses to extend the aptitude of it to conduct shut-up photographs of their topics. The imagery ensuing from closeup nature pictures is a pictorial expression of the age previous phrase "stop and scent the roses".
The theme for HECU8 is 'Locating Social Justice in Shut-Up Research in Higher Training'. Enterprise Intelligence Resolution that allows customers to analyze the prescription market on an integrated and consolidated platform for all Latin America. Fitting the shut-up lens is very straightforward and in a matter of seconds you're up and working. One such product that occurs to have each (conveniently for you) is Closeup Fireplace Freeze …it's going to present lengthy lasting freshness, so instead of shying away, individuals will probably be getting closer.
Early morning is the perfect time for shooting nearly any nature shot, however it is particularly good for shut-ups. Shut-up examines the affect of digital applied sciences on the architectural element and the traditions of tectonic expression associated with it. An often neglected condition of digital design technologies is the ability to design objects by way of continuous degrees of magnification.
I like the This Life story, it's one in every of my favourite fica and I've read it extra occasions than I can count. Don't just get the standard pack of macro lenses as a result of the store assistant tells you to, get the appropriate ones that suit your digital camera and that you may work with simply, in different words solely spend what will give you the specified result.
Essentially the most primary equipment for macro images artwork features a dedicated macro lens and a variety of extension tubes and bellows. Starting from the cinematic to the medical, the transition from the architectural detail to the architectural close-up implies new formal logics and new modes of reception. – You can now set your Facebook profile photo or video proper type Shut-up!

It was my first time at the spa and Joanne was very welcoming and pleasant. I've booked again for March and will be looking at having other treatments. A nice place that is friendly and has a great atmosphere. Thank you Joanne!
Half a spa day was lovely . The facial left my skin looking so radiant that I didn't wear any make up for days x nails are 10/10 lasted beautifully and done perfectly.
I could not have been better looked after and feel fabulous thanks to all your expert treatments. I feel relaxed and ready for my holiday and so glad I chose you for my special treat. The chocolate brownies and cookies and constant supply of teas made me feel very spoiled as nothing was too much trouble for you. Can't wait to see you all again. Love and thanks
Thank you all so much for a wonderful day spa experience. Friends commented on how refreshed I looked following my excellent facial and massage and the nails are holding up well against the toddler onslaught! I have vowed to visit you more often for some much needed me time. See you again soon.

Little Boy Seen Staring At The Photo Of His Dad Killed During The Shiite/Police Clash
1 1 Total
Guruboi Nov 09, 2018 ( Post 1 )
A little child has been caught on camera staring at the photo of his father who was killed during the recent clash between police and Shi'ites.
The boy was seen staring at his father's photo
Photos have shown the really heartbreaking moment a young boy was spotted staring at the photo of his father who was recently killed during a fallout between security operatives and the Shi'ites members.
It will be recalled that two weeks ago, the city of Abuja recorded a number of clashes between members of the Islamic Movement of Nigeria aka Shi'ites and security agents.
Many Shi'ite members were reportedly killed during the clash while the sect members in turn burnt a vehicle belonging to the FCT police command and also inflicted varying degrees of injury on some soldiers.
One of the sect members killed during the clash was Mustafa Ingawa, a father of one. He was buried yesterday, November 8th.
During Mustafa's burial, his little son was spotted staring at the dead man's photos which were pasted on the coffin. The photo have left many people heartbroken on social media.

"Excellent service, communication and delivery"
"Easy to use and always find what I want"
Penguin Books, 2003. "New Zealand was the last country in the world to be discovered and settled by humankind. It was also the first to introduce a full democracy. Between those events, and in the century that followed the franchise, the movements and the conflicts of human history have been played out more intensively and more rapidly in New Zealand than anywhere else on Earth. This title tells that story in all its colour and drama. The narrative that emerges is an inclusive one about men and women, Maori and Pakeha. It shows that British motives in colonizing New Zealand were essentially humane; and that Maori, far from being passive victims of a "fatal impact", coped heroically with colonization and survived by selectively accepting and adapting what Western technology and culture had to offer."

But I switched to Agorapulse a few years ago It and Today has been my 1 choice for social media direction since that time. You can read about some of the feature comparisons between Agorapulse along with other platforms here.

12 Reasons Why Agorapulse Kick Ass For Social Media Management
Oh and Before I start… I should mention that I don't always use each and every function in precisely the exact same time. I do use a couple of different tools. But I love that Agorapulse has a suite of features that actually do cover most of your social media advertising requirements.
In fact Have been moving lots of the attributes I use on programs around to Agorapulse. It is hard not to wish to remain"in" this tool since it's so user-friendly and fun to use. I have also taken on a brand ambassador part with Agorapulse considering writing this article. The post has been updated but my real love with this particular tool and the fact that I can't do with it in my arsenal hasn't changed.
The Agorapulse Culture And Team
Let us start here. Because with this, the Rest of the things I adore about Agorapulse mean nothing.
Customer service is at the core of business at Agorapulse. If their clients are happy and utilizing their instrument in the best possible manner, (and they receive results), then everything falls into place. Their team focuses on client experience more.
Agorapulse also listens To customers about what works, what they can build and what needs improving. Thus, you are not a customer but a part of a company. In fact, lots of the current features I am going to talk about came from opinions and client recommendations.
Caring about customers Is Agorapulse has taken up the rankings as among those social media management programs with the best reviews and customer satisfaction. Agorapulse Pinterest
Feature Overview
I've summarized all 12 reasons why I love Agorapulse Below, but let us begin with a video overview of the current (awesome) update — then I will break down the key features. There is a lot to enjoy.
Impressive, right? Let's jump in and take a Closer look at the features of Agorapulse.
Easy Publishing And Scheduling
Now that we have covered off to the all-important Purpose of engagement (that is the reason why I adore Agorapulse the most), let us take a look at posting and scheduling.
Just as a publishing Tool goes, Agorapulse is among the easiest I've used. It is a cinch to post to Twitter, LinkedIn, Facebook and Instagram (plus they have the newest auto-posting function for Instagram as a formal Instagram Partner).
The articles can be easily customised by you to suit each platform. I probably don't even need to go into detail about this , as it intuitive to use. You, (like me) need to be able to work out how to program an easy post, easily and without education.
Scheduling is easy with Agorapulse! I can.
- Publish instantly
- Queue my article (more of that later)
- Schedule the post in the future for time and a particular date.
It's also super easy to schedule exactly the Exact Same post to Go out on different platforms, on different times, while being optimized for those platforms (altering the text or image size).
One feature I especially like is the capability Type"@" and then the title of the user and Agorapulse will bring up the possible account you can choose from on Twitter and Facebook. Notice Agorapulse suggests additional accounts once I begin entering their company name.
This helps you to label pages and profiles quickly And saves you time searching to add.
You could schedule easily to LinkedIn.
Publish to LinkedIn with Agorapulse
We will get to Instagram at a minute, but for now, Please know that publishing your articles and scheduling in advance on Agorapulse is simple! And as I said, it is also possible to now auto-post to Instagram with Agorapulse since they are an official partner and have access to that new attribute via Instagram's API.
Oh and they have a Fairly calendar view So you are able to see of your posts ready to go across the platforms.
And it's colour coded for folks like me who need That amount of visual organisation. Winning!
Inbox Zero
There is nothing better than seeing this.
This is what I see on a regular basis with Agorapulse.
Unlike a few other social media management tools, Agorapulse has only 1 column for me to respond to mentions and notifications.
To me, that is"one job" to complete each day. And it's actually almost enjoyable to clear out my inbox.
It's concentrated, it's simple and it is easy to Use, and that means you won't skip a mention!
Dashboard includes.
- Your accounts Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, and Instagram.
- Your inbox (where all the articles you need to examine or respond to can be found). Your inbox things are emphasized To Review for each stage as items.
- Tabs for Publishing, Listening, Fans and Followers, and Reports.
- An area for engagement where you engage and respond via replies, retweets or likes.
You can click on a user's profile to expand it. You will then see all the info that you need — right within Agorapulse (including any prior interactions).
Expand an individual profile to realize your history!
If you have a just one click and you can see History with the conversations and the user you've had before. This means you may give the people the ideal attention at the right time.
Let's break this down a little more…
I DMs I have and can easily see how many mentions Inside my inbox. When I am looking at this tweet from Ravi, I can see how many tweets that I must review and that I can review or respond to his tweet. It's the same for other societal channels — your engagement all is in one area.
Never miss a mention on your inbox!
I know my inbox Isn't empty in this screenshot. When I have finished writing this article, but it's going to be! I don't always get to tune zero daily however I get there often enough to LOVE that"Congratulations" display!
It's simple to check your mentions. You can Even filter by message or mention type as follows.
Then review the articles you've responded to or dealt with. As soon as a specific post is replied to by you, it is automatically marked as reviewed.
Or you simply click on a post replying.
In the case from Nicky, I can select To reply (or reply from DM), review the article, delegate it for someone else (more of that later), retweet it or"like" the article — all from within the same dashboard place on Agorapulse.
Choose how you will participate or process the mention or message.
It's, if I change for example similar. I can see all my current participation, I will enlarge on articles or see information. I may also follow and unfollow. Agorapulse Pinterest
Easily change between accounts and programs to Keep up with engagement!
Being able to see your comments ALL are handy on In which you can only find the last 50 mentions on your feed. It is impossible to maintain with mentions if you've got a number of followers. Agorapulse alters all that which is enormous for influencers and brands.
Excited? Now you can engage your with ALL Mentions when you are a bit late getting to them.
And I could also participate by Switching to Facebook.
Note. You're able to engage on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and YouTube although maybe not LinkedIn at this stage (you can just print to LinkedIn.
Agorapulse retains my engagement in one place all.
Ahhhh, exhale and pour yourself a glass of wine!
Get To Know Your Best Advocates
When it comes to social media it is not about Collecting followers. It's about engaging with them.
Like I shared previously, Agorapulse allows me to Easily track and engage with my best advocates using the"Fans and Followers" feature. From within your Twitter accounts, you click "Fans and Followers" and then filter your search under"All","Favorites" or"Top" users as per below.
On my top 100 users I hunted in this scenario below "TOP".
You can add a star to "favorite" people you want to follow closely in Agorapulse. In this manner, you've got their articles easily accessible in their very own thread! Now it's easy to engage with them and retweet their content!
You'll also see positions for your following in only About each profile perspective on Agorapulse.
- Engaged — the person has said you (directly, or through a reply to a conversation) or delivered you a DM.
- Ambassador — this person posted links to your site or has retweeted you.
- Influencer — this individual is frequently retweeted (more than 20 times during the last 30 days).
In Nicky's situation, She's all 3 with regard to my @sociallysorted Twitter accounts. Nicky is somebody I should be participating with (and I do! ) ) .
On this, Facebook Function shows you who has mentioned your webpage, and how many times they have enjoyed and commented or sent you a message, as well as their last interaction with you. You can ban them from your page from inside Agorapulse, although I hope that happens infrequently!
On Instagram you Will see who has left comments their followers/followed that is total counts and you can follow or unfollow from inside Agorapulse.
You are given a clear picture of who by these basic metrics Follows you, boosts you and engages with you the maximum.
- Set up custom groups of followers inside Agorapulse's dash
- Search on all their interactions
- Search on their own messages, and
- Add notes.
When You've Got this information you can use all It to take part in communication with these people — surprise and pleasure them or maybe reach out to thank them! Agorapulse Pinterest
Advanced Monitoring, Reviews And search
Consider Agorapulse as your personal Private private investigator. It's possible to use the Tracking work on Instagram to.
- Hashtag searches.
- Perform location hunts.
What's so great about this? It opens up a whole new World of chance for locating (and linking ) conversations around any topic you like (like your manufacturer ).
The potential for location-based businesses is enormous With this feature, particularly tourism.
When it comes To reports, Agorapulse really excels. With one click you can make a report that is easy to decipher and easy to produce. Ideal for showing customers!
Agorapulse Reports help your to break Audience sense.
The detailed reports also can help you find a range Information such as.
- Your best performing articles (ie articles, tweets etc) based on engagement and attain
- Evolution metrics over time. Agorapulse automatically compares metrics over time and provides a reading re if a metric is increasing or decreasing over a period to you.
- Community management statistics such as reaction time and response rate
- Benchmarking your Facebook Page against competitors
Your best performing material is analysed and Introduced in report form. You can also download it as a csv file to show that the people/clients/team that must see it the most.
For social media managers and agencies that this is Huge, as it allows you to supply easy-to-read information.
It is also possible to have a peek at your competition!
Nearly everybody I know who uses Agorapulse for Social media management raves about the reports. They're fairly special;o-RRB-

Moderation On Autopilot — Say Goodbye To Spam!
This function is similar to Paradise to me. Agorapulse explains it as being in a position to"tag, rename, conceal, delete or delegate articles… while you sleep". All using Moderation Rules.
In which the, I like this function on Twitter Auto-thankyous, Auto-engagements and Auto-DMs push me bat-shizz crazy.
With Agorapulse I will deal with them Ways.
- So I don't see most of them in the first 17, I will filter my DMs. This is where the magic occurs. You can set up filters to weed out"many" of those bad DMs. Not all (sigh) but most.
- I can filter my feed by DMs or even Mentions. Clean them out fast and I usually visit DMs. To be honest I get numerous DMs which are spam these days, it's hard not to overlook the excellent ones. Automobile DMs have made DMs useless to me, which is a shame.
Filtering and moderation functions for all accounts Types but I mostly use it for Twitter to"markers as reviewed" all the Auto DMs that come through saying"thanks to following".
It filters out The auto-DMs, and yes I am sad that it grabs some actual ones as well, but you have to pick your battles!
And the moderation principles are not about spam. You can use them in several ways to
- Filter content out to be responded to — on almost any stage. You want to have all the posts featuring a hashtag that is particular to be labeled in a specific way — so you can respond to them.
- Filter out those individuals that are SUPER and post all the time so you don't have to see every Tweet at Agorapulse — only repond to them sometimes or in Twitter.
- Create custom tags such as remarks and tweets so you can categorize and search on them later!
- Create custom searches for key words which you need to track
- If you have one of the"large" level accounts (best for smaller agencies) you can have articles assigned to a team member (see 11 below).
Basically the moderation purpose is another Bonus reason to consider Agorapulse for social media management.
A Killer Mobile App
If you are out and around And you need to clean your inbox, the more Agorapulse program is.
It is available on Android and iOS and it's super slick to use. I often prefer using the program vs background to process my inbox since it's so simple to review and process mentions and messages. Agorapulse Pinterest
Evergreen Content
Agorapulse's lineup feature allows you to publish Your content on a replicated, evergreen basis utilizing smart categories — much like the way in which Meet Edgar allows you to set posts to be scheduled at particular times of day based on particular categories. It is used by me to Facebook and Twitter.
If you want to and are using a tool like Meet Edgar Cut costs, then consider Agorapulse's evergreen content attribute rather (and you have the bonus of all the additional Agorapulse attributes ).
Here are a few things to learn about using Agorapulse for queued content.
Setting Your Queue Categories Up Is Super Easy.
With Agorapulse title and it is super simple to set up Your queue add your program to get articles to be published on, and catogories. Then of adding content, the process is intuitive. As you can see, it is a slick dash (the user experience is awesome).
Firstly, you need to name and put your content up Categories (all colour-coded and prepared for action!) .
Setting up your categories is easy… and color-coded!
When You've set up your classes, all you have to Do is add instances to the schedule.
Then I need to add awesome content to each of those category queues!
Easily Preview Content For Every Social Network.
Agorapulse provides You a preview of the article, to explain to you how it'll appear on the newsfeed of the platform when you print it, you choose.
Choose to Schedule your posts or add each article to the Queue of your selection. This component is simple, as you set up your queue in Measure one. Your Queue, filled with articles (and ready to go) will look something like this.
After a post is published, It Is Going to return to the Bottom of this lineup, waiting to be queued.
Aside from using the queue function for perennial Content, you might choose to either.
- Add a post to the schedule as normal or
- Replicate your post a certain number of times (once you do this you may set the minimum amount of days between repetitions of this article ). Note you could accomplish this to get Facebook but you have to be aware of the Twitter rules from duplicate content — see below.
You Can Pause The Queue (Quickly, And At Any Time).
I Really like That Agorapulse has added a pause button. If there is a disaster or for some reason it is not fantastic timing to post, you can pause the queue.
Perhaps you want to pause a seasonal queue of articles At Christmas… it's easy with the pause button!
Meet Edgar includes a pause button and it was something That I actually wanted to see in any instrument which I opted to replace it with. I requested Agorapulse to include one and they did (they constantly listen never be reluctant to mention tips or give feedback!) .
Use The Queue Function To Announce Facebook Lives
The function could be handy for announcing Events like a Facebook Live (if you hold them to a weekly or regular basis). Share your articles that must go out weekly in a queue. I would recommend a little varies the articles to keep the content fresh and.
This works for Facebook but with Need to look at some"changes" to Twitter's terms of usage…. Agorapulse Pinterest
Twitter And Agorapulse
Twitter posted about fresh Guidelines or"rules" for repeated or replicate content in February 2018. You may read about it here.
The rules Aren't Fresh as discussed by Agorapulse's CEO Emeric Ernoult. It's just that now they're currently making a bigger point of saying they will be enforced by them.
Fundamentally this mean that we can no longer Simultaneously post articles that is identical or similar . This applies to duplicate content at the exact same account.
Lets's take a look at how you can post to Twitter with Agorapulse whilst complying with all the rules, so you obey the rules, once you draft a picture similar to you to post to Twitter.
Note that you can choose to queue or schedule Your article to Twitter. Here is where we need to consider the principles of Twitter and comply with them. You can do this a couple ways with Agorapulse.
Agorapulse Blocks Ability To Post Duplicate Content To Twitter Accounts
If you look more closely At the picture above, you'll see that Agorapulse blocks my ability to place replicate content. The instrument recognises that I'm submitting to Twitter! This helps ensure that Twitter's guidelines are adhered to by me.
Content Demo Tips
This is how I use Agorapulse to save loads of Time and remain from Twitter Jail. Together with Agorapulse, you currently have two options for replicating a hyperlink.
- It is possible to choose to Schedule your post once (or more than once if you vary it). Simply add your article, to do so, then pick the date and time you want it to go out out at. If it'll be printed more than once, you'll need to edit the repeated or replicate tweets so that they're not"replicate" content. More of this is under.
- More than once with variations or you can opt to Queue your post once. Agorapulse recommends this. When you are queueing content for Twitter, be certain that you don't select the option to"re-queue multiple times." This is where you would wind up in violation of Twitter's rules, although you can still use this attribute for some other platforms. While I choose to do it this way, I make sure it's a unique place, then add it on the top or bottom of this queue (ie I choose"queue alongside" or"queue last").
Advanced Scheduling is also used by me to Write 1 tweet, then set that tweet. Below, I've set it to post no more frequently than every 7 Days, as well as 6 repetitions. Just don't forget to edit the repeats!
I could easily see, After I schedule the 6 x repeats Those posts in my schedule. I'd go straight in and change them to emojis, text that is new, images or hashtags. Do this do not do it or you will forget.
Note. It is Ok when you edit your articles if the connection stays the same. It is the text that you need to change each time.
I had been utilizing Advanced Scheduling in this way For a while today to post fresh content — well ahead of the new"principles" have been announced. I love to mix this up and it is better for engagement.
Don't forget Bulk Upload! Agorapulse also permits you to upload around some 100 pieces of content simultaneously by using a CSV file. This can incorporate articles from any RSS feed and includes your photos! You can use this to curate content from other websites and save hours!
What's Coming For Queued Content?
The staff at Agorapulse is currently working on a Tool to produce us the variations of tweets, so we can get out content and play nice. This is new functionality that will enable us to repeat our tweet variants quickly — all in the one easy interface. I'm looking forward to it. I am convinced it will be a timesaver! Agorapulse Pinterest
Team Communication and Delegation
As easy as Agorapulse is to utilize, you Do not have to do all the checking and engagement yourself… It's a dream for delegation.
If you are a member of Agorapulse's Large level Accounts (beginning at $199 per month), then it's possible to update to staff approval whereby you can assign tasks and approve messages across multiple team members.
This is GREAT for customer support brilliance.
This attribute is a good, if you are a team that is growing One to update to.
Oh and guess what? Remarks and teamwork occurs in Actual time. If Joe and Jess are online at precisely the exact same time working on the accounts, there will not be double-up. It is possible to see exactly what your staff is currently performing in real time.
Posting To Instagram
Agorapulse is A partner that is Instagram. This also suggests they are one of the very first tools to acquire access to the API to allow of Instagram!
In Case You Have one of the business accounts with Agorapulse you can now auto-schedule into Instagram. This usually means that you can now plan your articles beforehand and click on to post on your phone whenever you're ready OR you are able to auto post.
Just make sure that you don't forget to participate if You autopost….posting is just a part of this process. You have to follow up on comments and replies.
I Think That Agorapulse is the tool Provides both scheduling and auto-scheduling to Instagram in addition to monitoring and reporting… so it is a win-win-win in case you've got a company account. Are a fee!
All you need To do is.
- Download the Agorapulse app and hook your Instagram account.

- Article as you would ordinarily on Instagram. Your copy/description is going to be duplicated and you want to paste it. Check you have added as necessary and you're good to go!
I am impressed that Agorapulse has Added another feature that would require us to utilize the feature and a tool makes it even better. Bringing these tools together saves you time AND money and is an integral reason why I love Agorapulse for Social Media Management.

(MissionNewswire) Salesian missionaries working in the Palabek Refugee Settlement in northern Uganda launched a new center for vocational training on Jan. 31. Uganda hosts close to 1.3 million refugees, the majority coming from South Sudan. Others are fleeing from the Democratic Republic of Congo, Eritrea, Somalia, Burundi and several other countries.
The Palabek Refugee Settlement is currently home to 34,000 people. It was officially set up in April 2016 to reduce congestion in larger refugee camps in the northwestern corner of Uganda. Several agencies are involved in providing food and education within Palabek.
Salesian missionaries at the settlement are offering much-needed psychosocial support and pastoral care for thousands of Christian residents. They also operate four nursery schools that educate more than 1,000 children. In addition, there are over 700 children attending Salesian primary and secondary schools and more than 700 families that are supported by various other initiatives.
Salesian missionaries launched the new vocational training center to offer life skills and other training to help young refugees prepare for employment. Thousands of refugees, representatives of non-governmental organizations and a government delegation participated in the opening ceremonies celebrating the center.
Young refugees will be able to attend vocational training courses for free. Depending on the discipline, some courses will run for 3-6 months while others will run as long as a year. Salesian missionaries have also set up a job placement office which will help students make contact with companies that are hiring, prepare resumes and prep for interviews and find internships and on-site training opportunities.
"Vocational training is critical to help these young refugees adapt to their new surroundings and prepare for the future," says Father Mark Hyde, director of Salesian Missions, the U.S. development arm of the Salesians of Don Bosco. "Through the new vocational training, youth will be able to give themselves and their families social stability and improve their living conditions."
Salesian missionaries arrived at the Palabek Refugee Settlement in June 2017. At the start, the precariousness of the situation forced Salesian missionaries to live in huts with the refugees. Eventually, they built simple rooms, sanitation and water facilities, small structures for gatherings and various chapels and schools for children.
Close to 67 percent of Ugandans are either poor or highly vulnerable to poverty, according to UNICEF. While the country has seen some economic growth as well as improvement in its Human Development Index ranking over the last 20 years, the country still ranks near the bottom at 163 out of 188 countries. After decades of war left many displaced, the people of Uganda face many significant challenges as they work to rebuild their country.
Uganda's literacy rate has improved with 73 percent of the population literate but only 23 percent of Ugandans go on to acquire a secondary education. According to UNICEF, one of the biggest challenges in the country is combating the serious increase of HIV/AIDS that has left millions of children orphaned.

Apple announce redhead emojis for World Emoji Day
Today is World Emoji Day and to celebrate Apple has announced the release of 70 new emojis later this year 💃😍.
The new characters cover everything from food to infinity signs. A range of new do's will be added to the emoji library including grey hair, curly hair, bald heads and even ginger emojis after more than 21,000 people signed a petition for redheads to be represented.
Food and face emojis will be getting extra details, we're talking sprinkle cupcakes so realistic your mouth will water. There's even a freezing face emoji for when the Scottish weather inevitably turns cold again.
New animals will also join the emoji family, the lobster is our favourite but if you're not keen on sea creatures there is a peacock, a kangaroo and a parrot too.
The exact release date for the new emojis is yet to be announced but we'll be trying them out on our Twitter and Instagram when they arrive!

It's so hard for me to make a simple card.
So the more time it takes to make a simple card than to create a complex and colorful cards.
I wanted to contain the spring on the card.
I used a blend of purple and green.
Wonderfully clean and simple and I love your soft colouring of those flowers, so pretty.
Thanks for sharing with us.

It's that time once again. The new issue of Goldfish Grimm's Spicy Fiction Sushi is up and I've just got to spread the word.
Issue 3 breaks down like this:
"Through Bleached Bone" by Cate Gardner
"Twenty-Seven Rules for Coping" by Michael Haynes
As always, there are interviews with both authors on the site as well.
This issue is is considerably darker than our previous issues and really carries a cohesive theme. Matt and I are pretty pleased with it and I hope you'll all stop by and read the stories and leave a comment. Also, isn't Matt's artwork awesome? It's the first time he's incorporated some subtle animation and I hope it's something he continues. I like it!

We had a beautiful Christmas. I dare say that for me it was perhaps the best Christmas I have celebrated in my 36 years of life. Of course the explanation is easy. First, Loki is here and he is doing well. He enjoyed tearing the paper off gifts and absolutely loves his walker wagon from Santa Nana and her Elf Papaw. Second, we were able to organize the Loki Sky Holiday Gift Drive and Fund. As said before, it was an incredible success and going to the Alta Bates NICU to deliver the gifts and gift cards was nothing short of amazing. Please allow me to share my recap of the experience.
After much anticipation, and an incredible number of hours collecting, sorting, wrapping and buying gifts and gift cards, we made our way to the Alta Bates NICU in Berkeley on Thursday December 24th Christmas Eve (which is in the US is almost equal to Christmas day in its "holidayness"). We were met downstairs by Misty, who used to be our social worker and has been instrumental in making this drive happen at Alta Bates, and one of her social work colleagues. We unloaded all gift bags from the car onto carts and were able to get it all up to the NICU in one trip. I must admit that I started to feel a bit nervous. I wanted it to be perfect for all the parents and wondered if I had divided the gifts in the best groups possible. In fact, I had barely slept the night before thinking, rethinking, and overthinking the division of gifts. I got up early in the morning, opened everything up, and made a bunch of changes! Those who know me will not be surprised by this.
We made it up to the 4th floor where we were met by some of our very favorite NICU folks. Although the actual handout of the gifts was an absolute highlight, Loki's meet-and-greet beforehand was fun, overwhelming, and heart warming as well. Among the greeters were Dr. Sandhu, the amazing NICU medical director and perhaps one of the most compassionate doctors one could meet. Our wonderful first neonatologist Dr. Goldie Dudell, who will always have a special place in our hearts, as she was the most gentle messenger of the difficult road ahead before Loki was born. She also was Loki's first neonatologist during our Alta Bates days, and she is one of several amazingly skilled and knowledgeable doctors. We were very excited to see Blanca, nurse practitioner and Loki's team leader extraordinaire. She supported us through some very, very rough patches during our NICU days with her optimistic, calm and always patient demeanor. Of course we saw many of our favorite nurses (see pictures). Perhaps one of the most surprising and humbling meetings was with the Director of Women and Infant Services, Ms. Katie Tobin. She came out to shake hands and was very, very sweet and outspoken about her gratitude for the outpouring of generosity on our friends' and families' part.
Throughout the first meet-and-greet Loki was a bit overwhelmed and often did not know whether to laugh or cry. Dad, Rebecca, and Loki left for a walk as I started the actual delivery of the gifts to the babies. Misty and Nicole (assistant to the nurse manager) were incredibly helpful during the handout of gifts and basically functioned as my brain. (As you all know, part of my brain has been missing ever since Loki was born.) There was a list with room numbers, sex, and weight of the babies. We approached it approximately three rooms at a time. I just grabbed bags from the stack, but Misty and Nicole kept track and knew what would go where. They were amazing and made the Loki Sky Holiday Gift Drive and Fund an actual smooth and successful experience within the NICU.
It is hard to describe what it felt like to walk around the NICU being able to briefly meet some of the parents and leave a gift for every tiny new person. I had the chance to talk a little bit with some of the parents. It was one of the most beautiful experiences to see the smile on some of their faces. I so very well remember what it felt like to be at the hospital with Loki. Seeing these parents at their baby's side, knowing and thoroughly understanding their worries, fears and pain but also their hope and love for their children made me very committed to the cause. Being a NICU parent is a very intense and often very traumatic experience. No gift, financial support, hugs, or words can make the path easy. But I do believe a gift offered through compassion can shine a light. I felt that during our stay and I could see it with some of the parents I met.
I want do this again; you may not be surprised. The format may change a little bit, but I will do this again. We do not know how much longer we will be living in the US. Next Christmas we may live in the Netherlands. Who knows? But I have thought about ways to make this work, even from a distance.
I want to wrap up this lengthy post by thanking all of you who so generously donated gifts, money, time and energy. It simply would not have happened without you. I want to thank Baby Batman's mother Nicola, for sharing the idea of a gift drive. I want to thank Misty for all of her support and helping me coordinate all the logistics. Of course I also want to thank Nicole for her wonderful help. In addition, if Loki would not have received the amazing care from nurses and Doctors at this NICU there would most likely not have been a gift drive at all, so thank you Alta Bates NICU staff. And finally, most of all I want to thank Loki Sky, the wonderful inspiring ever-growing human being who entered our lives in such a scary yet beautiful way.
It was an event to remember!

Wow. that's all I can say. Rarely at a loss for words, but am here. Will add that I DO know you well enough to not be surprised about the overthinking problem...
You are wonderful, an inspiration, and the very definition of MOTHER. Kudos to Jesse, too,of course, Behind every great Mommy is a great Daddy..and thanks most of all to Loki Sky, caped crusader and elf all wrapped up in one. Now go rest. This looks like it took SO much work!

Oh Lijn and Jesse. You make us so proud and happy making other people happy! Last years Alta Bates memories pass by and we really regret not being there with you to help you make this drive to such a big success. But fortunately you have Rebecacca there and she must be a big help for you. Seeing Loki, grown so big, on the pictures in the place where he started his precious life makes us so grateful and happy, and even more longing for him to be closer to us next year. Proud of you all making lots of tiny and big people happy! Love to all of you!

Lieve mom,
Ik heb al vaker gezegd het laatste jaar dat ik je enorm bewonderd om je volharding, kracht en energie. Het is een tropenjaar geweest en het blijft hard werken. Tch vindt je dan ook nog de energie om iets voor andere mensen te doen. Ik hoop dat je nog lange tijd kracht kunt putten uit deze ervaring die voortkomt uit jouw dankbaarheid en ervaringen. Voor jou voelt het zo logisch om het zo te doen, maar niet iedereen kan zijn dankbaarheid zo omzetten zoals jij dat gedaan hebt (en ik zie jouw gestress voor me, ja). Ik wens jou, Dad en Loki een heel goed jaar toe, waarin jullie weer veel te wachten zal staan, maar jullie vormen een goed team met zijn drietjes, dus jullie komen er wel!!
Knuffel Maaike

Incredible...absolutely amazing! Jesse and Lijn, you never cease to inspire me. To create the time, and I mean create because I know you have none to spare, to bring gifts to the NICU is nothing short of amazing.
Hope you continue to have a great end of 2009 and a happy and healthy neiuwe jaar! (Sorry about the incorrect spelling-- but you know that is the only Dutch I know).
Miss you!

Have a great start into the new year.

When looking for an org look for an org that has been going for a while or at least has a good few weeks of events booked, a decent satisfaction rating, is suitable for your fighters ID (i.e don't join an open ID org with your new creation),
When offered a contract make sure that the inactivity period isn't too long (30 days is max for me), the contract length is ok (not one that ends in december 2018. I usually tally up a month per fight offered) and that its not for too many fights. As a new creation you're going to be offered shitty contracts so don't accept ones for 5 or 6 fights. 3 is my usual unless I trust the org.
This is just my personal preference though and might be contrary to what other's think.

Read the writing under the sliders so you can properly learn them.
I was very lucky to have a great mentor and he insisted on me not just following the templates, but to properly read the sliders memos and study fights. He gave me slider exercises to practice and I spent many hours reading not just my fights but random fights. We also analysed many fights, specially when we lost. Learning sliders and studying the text on fights is the most important thing in this game.
I would list the following as top 3:
1) Get a good mentor
2) Learn sliders
3) Get into a good alliance

Ohhh another great advice (imo):
Never, ever, fall is love with a fighter. Cut them when their time comes.

1. Start with 25 year olds in ID restricted orgs
2. Before you ever click create, it should take you 15-20 minutes at least to figure out the point distro for your new fighter. Think long and hard (hint: 25 year olds are fine to spread points somewhat thin since you aren't worried about them hitting the peak anyway)

Economic Crisis in Europe Article Review
Pages: 7 (2353 words) · Bibliography Sources: 5 · File: .docx · Level: College Senior · Topic: Economics
for $19.77
[. . .] By reducing the amount of decisions made by human operators, the risk for errors in inputting or analyzing information is greatly reduced. Automating audit systems also helps organizations determine if its processes are effective by identifying transactions outside of the norm for further evaluation.
Enterprise software provides information to the people that can act upon it making it a better tool for the communication of vital information then the typical upward communication scheme. The speed and power of computer systems is increasing, bringing information in the financial world to almost real time helping to increase risk mitigation.
The problem with information organized and assessed by computer systems is that people are interpreting the results of the data and can be inclined to certain bias's thereby changing the value of the information. By using certain procedures for identifying and reporting of anomalies, the red flags that might have been ignored by analysts due to their perceptions of the data's value instead come to the attention of decision makers.
Another problem with this technology is that computer systems are flawed in a sense from their inception. The organizational leaders decide what information should be analyzed, what information is needed for compliance and what decisions should be made by the system. These individuals do not always understand what should be measured to ascertain all of the risks they should be looking out for, especially those risks that may be hard to measure. The task of developing a software program to analyze certain data and identify risks is then handed over to the programmers who must interpret the vision of leadership into a workable program. This process involves a great deal of interpretation of regulations and laws by organizational leaders and computer programmers introducing flaws into the system from the multiple steps and influences involved in the process. The programmers and engineers that create the software have an entirely different set of parameters to deal with in working with the actual code that creates the formulas and programs which can cause problems.
Executives and leaders who receive computer generated reports are also prone to the bias of not questioning the accuracy of computer reports. In this situation, people in leadership are more likely to look for information to support what the reports state then to use their independent judgment to determine the accuracy of the information reported. The tunnel vision that develops over the use of technology often prevents decision makers from considering information outside of their software systems.
Another problem with computer technology in risk management is the group think tendency where various stakeholders move to develop standardized processes for identifying risks using computer programs. The standardization developed by a select group of leaders may leave out important variables that may otherwise be considered by having non-standard programs.
Computer programs and technology can be used against an organization, rather than for its good. The manipulation of information systems by knowledgeable actors can hide risky transactions that may otherwise come to light.
Technology offers advances in data organization, but is also flawed in trying to translate regulatory mandates into actual business practices. The limitations of technology and the failure to test and update formulas contributed to the failure of several financial institutions during the recent financial crisis. This situation brought to light the problems with relying heavily on technology without enough oversight from decision makers.
Computer programs that are used for regulation have the tendency to make the rules instead of allowing other influences like the market, changes in the law and public policy to establish appropriate internal controls. The computer aided systems used to control risk can become too automated and biased to be useful for evaluating all risks effectively and become detached from the regulations and policies with which they are designed to comply.
The problems inherent in using technology to evaluate and manage risk can be improved by having more transparency in the design of systems and assumptions employed in implement ting the processes to be used. It is further suggested that by allowing greater flexibility in disclosures of information that more financial institutions will be encouraged to operate under greater transparency for the good of the public.
