SUSU's Annual General Meeting was held today to give an overview of all that's been achieved this year, to discuss three motions and introduce the candidates for Union Council Chair. The Motions were: Reforming the Role of Union Council Chair put across by Rupert Bailey, Referendum on NUS Affiliation put forward by SUSU President Sam Ling and Engagement and Involvement Focus put forward by VP Sports Development Jonny Brooks-Bartlett.
First off was the Annual Review, the Accounts Review for 2010-2011 was shown and questions encouraged. Then there was a short video highlighting some of SUSU's achievements from this year. These included SUSU having one of the largest and most successful Athletic Unions in the Country with Ladies Hockey, Netball, Mens Rugby and Womens Rugby all gaining BUCS success, the introduction of the student taxi scheme and the new Friday Nights at the Cube.
SUSU's income currently stands at £6,845,209. Looking to the future, President Sam Ling stated that the 'biggest challenge is communication with members, checking that everything is in line with what they want.' but that this year's Sabbatical Team had been helped by a plan put in place by their predecessors which involved the next three years.
'It's been an incredible year, an incredible journey.' (Sam Ling)
The meeting then progressed onto the discussion of the first motion. Rupert Bailey put forward the motion of Reforming the Role of Union Council Chair due to the fact that Union Council has gone through many changes in the past year and the role of Chair does not currently have any guidelines.
He also expressed the importance of this motion in light of today's election of the new Union Council Chair as it 'could help them in their role.' Bailey proposed four things in his motion, firstly consistency, secondly that the role of Chair be written into the constitution, thirdly that it would be the responsibility of the Chair to publicise Union Council meetings and lastly that the Chair would control the management of these meetings.
The current Union Council Chair was asked what he thought of the motion and admitted that 'at first I wasn't especially happy with it,' however 'Rupert has gone away and revised it and now I'm feeling more happy about it,' he did however express his discontent for one of the parts which led to a vote about whether to take the proposal in separate parts. This was granted, questions were encouraged and then the Motion was voted on. The Motion was passed.
The second motion, Referendum on NUS Affiliation provoked quite a debate. Sam Ling proposed that Union Council hold a Referendum about whether or not SUSU should re-affiliate with the NUS. SUSU left NUS in 2002 and the question about re-affiliation was not raised again until 2010 when a referendum was held and it was voted against.
Sam asserted that since then however, 'the landscape of higher education has changed, as has the structure of both SUSU and the NUS' so it is 'fair and democratic to ask the question to all students.' He proposed that a referendum be held towards the end of the Autumn term of the academic year 2012-2013 and then ask the question again in three years time.
An amendment to the motion was proposed which consisted of two parts denoting that those expressing a strong opinion and of an influential position within SUSU should remove themselves from the Referendum and that Election Committee's membership be reviewed and supported by Yes and No campaign teams to ensure that all independent information on re-affiliation remained impartial.
The amendment was contested by Sam as he stated that 'everyone has an opinion on everything.' VP Academic Affairs Sasha Watson also explained that 'part of the problem in 2010 was that we didn't understand, we want an educated campaign and discussion' so the amendment might hinder this.
It was then proposed that the amendment be discussed in separate parts, but this was rejected. Several members then stood up to voice their arguments for or against the motion. Arguments for, included the assertion that 'people deserve the right to have a vote in this,' and those against included 'we've already answered this question, the result in 2010 of 2-1 is pretty conclusive' and 'I don't understand why we need to vote on this.'
Sam was also asked about why he didn't put the NUS Referendum in his manifesto, to which he answered, 'this is not about me, it's about the motion.' He further said that 'the impact of NUS affiliation on our five year plan is minimal, it's about the support they can offer.' After more questions and arguments for and against, the motion was voted upon. The motion was passed, meaning that Union Council will now hold a Referendum for the Affiliation with NUS.
The third motion to be proposed was Engagement and Involvement put forward by VP Sports Development Jonny Brooks Bartlett. This motion resolved that the VP Student Engagement set up a group to lead a review and research into overall student engagement with SUSU to complement the Engagement Strategy and that the SUSU trustee board work with this group to give an update at every Union Council Meeting and to finalise research by the final Union Council meeting of academic year 2012-2013.
Adam Maloney, speaking for the motion said that he thought it was a 'cracking idea,' and that perhaps it was 'if anything overdue.' Rob McGough further argued that 'people aren't aware of the Union, they need to know the difference between the Union and the University, and they need to know how important the Union is.' The question was raised about how this motion would include all campuses and sites, to which Jonny replied that the 'focus will be Union Council meetings.' The motion was then voted on and it was passed.
The final thing on the agenda was the election for Chair of Union Council for which there are four candidates: Gary Beecheno, David Mendoza Wolfson, Adam Maloney and James O'Mahoney.
Each candidate offered different things to the role with Gary's representative (as he couldn't make it due to being on placement) stating that his democratic approach makes him a strong candidate, David confessing that 'I didn't really put a lot of thought into running for this, I kind of did it on a whim,' but nevertheless feels he has the necessary experience to take on this role. Adam spoke about his experience as RAG officer and his attendance of Union Council meetings and James O'Mahoney drew from his four years at this University ascending the ranks to his current position as AU President. The candidates were then quizzed on neutrality and commitment.
The Union Council Chair elections are open until 8pm tonight. Anyone who attended the meeting can vote and the results will be announced shortly.

CHINHOYI, Zimbabwe (AP) — Zimbabwe's new President Emmerson Mnangagwa has appointed a new Cabinet filled with ruling party loyalists and figures linked to the military, whose takeover helped oust former leader Robert Mugabe. No opposition politicians are included.
The Cabinet picks had been seen as the first test of whether Mnangwgwa, a longtime Mugabe ally, would move out of his shadow.
The 22-member Cabinet announced late Thursday on state-run television includes Maj. Gen. Sibusiso Moyo as foreign minister, Air Marshal Perrance Shiri as agriculture minister and Chris Mutsvangwa, leader of Zimbabwe's war veterans, as information minister.
Shiri is directly linked to the Matabeleland killings of thousands of people by a North Korea-trained military brigade in the 1980s when Mugabe moved against a political arival.
Moyo on Nov. 15 announced the military takeover that put Mugabe under house arrest and set in motion a national clamor leading to the former president's resignation after 37 years in power.
Mugabe quit Nov. 21 amid impeachment proceedings. The ruling ZANU-PF party replaced him with Mnangagwa, who was fired weeks ago as one of the country's vice presidents as Mugabe's wife, Grace, positioned herself to succeed him.
The list of Cabinet picks makes no mention of vice presidents.
For some Zimbabweans who had hoped that the new leader would make the Cabinet more inclusive, Thursday night's announcement was seen as a disappointment after they had cheered the military's takeover and backed the ruling party's impeachment efforts.
Lawyer Alex Magaisa tweeted a recent photo of Mugabe and his wife laughing with the words "When they saw the new Cabinet." Former finance minister Tendai Biti tweeted: "The honey moon is over even before it had begun. What a shame. What a missed opportunity."
The new Cabinet also retains the cybersecurity ministry that Mugabe created weeks ago to criticism from activists who saw it as part of a crackdown on social media users.
In an interview earlier Thursday with The Associated Press, main opposition leader Morgan Tsvangirai said Mnangagwa has a "very small window" to show that he is different from Mugabe and that he is meeting national expectations of change. Tsvangirai added that there has been "no dialogue" with the new leadership.
On Friday, Mnangagwa said the economically struggling country must modernize in order to engage with a "fiercely competitive" world. He delivered the message at a graduation ceremony west of the capital, Harare. As president, he presides over all of Zimbabwe's universities.
Mnangagwa said "the world has grown fiercely competitive" and that Zimbabweans must learn to deliver "finished products" to markets and extract the most "profitability" from the country's natural resources.
Discontent with Zimbabwe's economy was a factor in Mugabe's downfall. Industries have collapsed, unemployment is high and cash shortages are rife.

You know that MSI's Premium Quartz surfaces are beautiful as well as incredibly durable, ideal for quartz countertops and flooring, but have you ever wondered where they come from? Although quartz is a natural stone, it's combined with a resin and other materials in perfect proportion through a patented process called Bretonstone Technology.
Natural quartz, which is abundant throughout the world, is the hardest non-gem material. It is combined with pigment, glass, various minerals, granite and resin using a manufacturing process that involves vacuum, compression, and vibration. This allows the dry mixture of materials to be mixed together in an aggregate, then compacted. The slabs are then heat-cured to harden the material. Next, the production line processes the material for uniformity, hones edges, and polishes it to the desired sheen. This creates a finished product of uniform dimensions and composition, in a variety of thicknesses.
The resulting surface material can be manufactured in different quartz countertop colors and combinations for installation in homes and commercial buildings. It is impervious to moisture and resistant to mold, mildew, and bacteria. It's also highly scratch-resistant and heat-tolerant.
Premium Quartz surfaces contain about 93% quartz, and 7% resin plus other added materials. It has several advantages over natural, non-manufactured surfaces. For one thing, it's uniform and can be manufactured in many different sizes and thicknesses, allowing for seamless installations. Contemporary quartz countertops are nonporous and never requires sealing. It's also much less expensive than many natural stone surfaces, because it can be manufactured in quantity as needed, rather than imported from sources all over the world.
Here are a few highlights in MSI's collection of Premium Quartz. Now that you know how it's made, you'll have a whole new appreciation for their great looks and rugged durability.
Featured: Sparkling Black Quartz
Sparkling Black Quartz is a polished slab with a black background, flecked with nearly iridescent lighter-hued sparkles. With low variation, it's elegant and dramatic, and looks great as countertops, flooring, and more.
Featured: Concerto Quartz
Concerto Quartz features a neutral array of gray and charcoal speckles on a pale taupe background. Its subtle tones blend well with other design elements.
Featured: Fossil Taupe Quartz
Fossil Taupe Quartz is another subtly shaded surface material, consisting of a buff background and various shades of taupe and gray specks for added interest. It has a shiny, polished finish.
Featured: Carrara Grigio Quartz
Carrara Grigio Quartz resembles Carrara Marble, featuring a pale gray background and darker veins. However, it delivers the low-maintenance durability of Quartz surfaces, making it ideal for even the most heavily-used countertops, commercial or residential.
Featured: Pacific Salt Quartz
Bretonstone Technology utilizes advanced processes to create enduring beauty. Whether the manufactured surfaces mimic natural stone or deliver something entirely new and creative, you're going to love the ease of care and luxurious shine in any room of your home.

Knotel Embraces the Blockchain
This is another blog post about the blockchain, the thing that everybody is talking about but nobody seems to really understand. The blockchain holds a lot of potential to revolutionize industries, reducing wasteful transaction costs:
• Take shipping. It's paper-based. To track diapers from China, you need a lot of Pampers checkpoints, which adds 20% to transport costs. On global trade of $4 trillion, that's a very wet diaper.
- − Blockchain could digitize this, reducing waste
• Take international aid. Nonprofits send billions of dollars/food to people in need. Transaction costs take 3.5%. Then graft and mismanagement keep another 30% from ever arriving.
- − Blockchain could help it go directly to the target.
• Take music. Pre-Napster, you'd buy albums from stores. If you shared it, you didn't have it. Post-Napster, you could download a song while playing Minesweeper and share it with anyone. It killed Tower Records and forever changed how (little) we pay artists.
- − Blockchain could enable us to buy directly like never before.
The applications are endless.
Real estate is just another industry ripe for disruption, which brings us to today's news: Knotel today announced the first step in democratizing the notoriously opaque business via the acquisition of San Francisco-based 42Floors, a commercial real estate search engine that will provide technology and data insight into more than 10 billion square feet of office space, accelerating our own plans to develop a blockchain platform. The goal: to reduce transaction costs and increase transparency in the real estate market.
The product will be called Baya.
The blockchain first captivated public imagination with news of the soaring cryptocurrency Bitcoin, which peaked at around $19,000 toward the end of last year, inspiring a New York Times trend piece about rich bros in hideous sweaters and even a runway show at New York Fashion Week. Bitcoin has since lost more than half of its value, and is currently hovering below $8,000.
Blockchain is not Bitcoin. The volatile Bitcoin craze has obscured the true promise and potential of the blockchain to reduce transaction costs and strengthen contracts between two parties. Think of the blockchain as the Internet itself, while Bitcoin is more like Paypal or Netscape, an early application of a much bigger, much more stable technology. While Bitcoin may or may not take off as a mainstream alternative to currency, the blockchain is here to stay.
How does it work? Think about Wikipedia and Google Docs, both of which are built on decentralized systems, allowing multiple people to modify them at once. Blockchain at its core is a digital ledger, a database in the sky. There are no file cabinets or hard drives, and the records themselves are owned by no one, reducing the chances of theft and corruption.
The advantage of the blockchain is that, unlike Wikipedia which may contain some false information, records must be verifiable in order to be added to the system. Tokens are used as an incentive system to validate information, creating trust amongst disparate parties who, in many cases, have never met each other. This element holds the breakout potential for the blockchain to revolutionize industries.
We at Knotel are looking forward to leading blockchain innovation in real estate.

This is why the Clintons, Katy Perry and Sheryl Sandberg were at The Parker Palm Springs a few weeks ago
Obama came to the Coachella Valley six times while in office, and it was his first stop after leaving office. Daniela Franco/The Desert Sun
You might've spotted celebrities or extra security around town a few weeks ago. You were right: A-listers and politicians were in the desert attending a wedding.
Former CAA agent Michael Kives and nonprofit attorney Lydia Gray tied the knot at The Parker in Palm Springs Nov. 16., according to The Hollywood Reporter. The ceremony featured some recognizable special guests, including former president Bill Clinton and Hillary Clinton.
Kives previously worked with the Clintons. The two gave a speech during the nuptials. "She could've made a pile of money and she chose to go to the ACLU," Bill said, referring to the bride.
Katy Perry, Sia and "Anything Can Happen" singer Ellie Goulding also attended and sang. Gray thanked them for performances that "blew us away." Gray's message of gratitude was lengthy, which included photographer Kristen Marie Parker and friends.
Also in attendance were actresses Jessica Alba and Reese Witherspoon, Facebook COO Sheryl Sandberg and former governor of California Arnold Schwarzenegger.
When reached by phone, hotel management said The Parker doesn't share info on guests.
On Tuesday, Gray shared a photo of the two in India, with the caption "Our India honeymoon."

Leaks say Pokémon on Switch is a remake. Take info with a dose of salt.
Fans have waited for ages to see what Pokémon will look like on Nintendo's latest console. If recent leaks are to be believed, we might finally get that glimpse soon.
Pokémon: Let's Go Pikachu and Pokémon: Let's Go Eevee are the alleged titles for the upcoming mainline Pokémon games. According to the current rumor mill, these games will be a reboot of the series in the Kanto region, just like the original Red and Blue. The games' titles reflect integration with Pokémon Go, though it's hard to pin down what that means. Also, each game indicates your starter Pokémon in each version, while also serving as a homage to the Pokémon anime.
Depending on where you look, you'll find tons of peripheral rumors on top of this. Some say only the original 150 Pokémon will be obtainable. Others say similarities to Pokémon Go run deep, to the point that capture mechanics are carried over. But how likely are any of these rumors anyway? Let's break down what makes these leaks seem reasonable… but also look at what seems unlikely in all of this.
Why the leaks could be real.
If there's one thing these most recent leaks have going for them, its consistency. Months before Let's Go Pikachu and Let's Go Eevee hit the internet, rumors have insisted that Pokémon on Switch would be a Generation 1 reboot. Even the supposed leaked screenshot of Pokémon on Switch supports the leaks. Not only are Pokémon visible on the map (similar to Pokemon Go), the layout is an exact recreation of Route 21 in Kanto. This is not to mention the apparent Eevee riding a Lapras in the screen as well. Sure, it's perfectly normal for fake leaks to build on each other, but the way it has been done here veers a little towards uncanny.
We also know that Gamefreak has been "exploring ways to connect the main games to Pokémon Go" since 2016. And honestly, it makes perfect sense. Pokémon Go was a massive breakout hit when it came out, and it's the type of peripheral experience the company loves. We even talked about the ways Pokemon has built up to Pokemon Go back when it came out. Connecting a core Pokémon title to Pokémon Go just makes good business sense. Lapsed Go players would return to the game, and Switch sales would skyrocket in turn. Not that Nintendo consoles don't already fly off the shelf with a Pokémon title, but that's a detail.
Finally, a Generation 1 reboot jives perfectly well with Pokémon Go integration. Pokémon Go launched with only the original 150 Pokémon intact, and even today they're only up to Generation 3. Sticking with the Kanto region ensures parity between Let's Go Pikachu / Eevee and Pokémon Go. Besides, fans have been dying for a Kanto reboot to begin with. It's been almost 15 years since Fire Red and Leaf Green came out, so a newer remake (seemingly based on Yellow no less) is certainly in order.
Why the leaks are sketchy
The problem with leaks is that leaks are a liar… sometimes.
Not even a year ago, fans were all but certain that Pokémon Stars was the Pokémon on Switch. According to leaks and rumors, this was an upscaled version of Sun and Moon with added features, a la Yellow and Crystal version. When the 3DS-exclusive Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon were announced instead, fans were furious.
Some argue that Pokémon Stars did exist at one point, but no one can say for sure. The point is, leaks should always be taken with a healthy grain of salt. Fans have found circumstantial evidence to confirm the existence of Let's Go Pikachu and Eevee, but it's just that: circumstantial. For instance, the URLs "pokemonletsgopikachu.com" and "pokemonletsgoeevee.com" have been purchased, but there's no official link between these domains and Nintendo or Gamefreak. Besides, Nintendo is notorious for protecting its intellectual property. They could just as easily be blocking phony sites popping up in reaction to the rumors.
Fans have also noticed an uptick of Pikachu and Eevee pictures from various official sources, which… could go either way. Sure, this could be some kind of subtle viral marketing. On the other hand, Pikachu and Eevee are literal and practical mascots for the franchise, respectively. If it weren't for the current rumor mill, no one would bat an eye to these two getting the spotlight.
Aside from all this, the leaks also feel a bit sketchy because… well, it's already such break from tradition. As it is, we've never had a Pokémon generation kicked off with a remake. Plus Pikachu and Eevee as starter Pokémon would be deeply surprising for a series that has always adhered to a Fire / Water / Grass trio of starters. And seriously, who wouldn't pick Eevee between the two? Jolteon is almost always favored over Raichu by serious fans, and that's just one of 8 evolutions Eevee has.
Speaking of balance, Red and Blue didn't exactly have that, if we're being honest. Psychic type Pokémon had functionally no counter, since the only ghosts (Ghastly, Haunter, Gengar) were also weak to Psychic type moves. And that's just one major issue. If these games are the flagship games fans will be trading and battling in for the next few years, then the extent of the "reboot" in question here will have to be far greater than leakers are letting on.
What to make of the leaks
There's solid evidence pointing to Let's Go Pikachu and Eevee being something. The question, though, is what?
Leaks can be partially right. We've seen it happen with Super Smash Bros., and it can certainly happen here. Since E3 is just around the corner, video game rumors are going to get crazier and crazier until the event is over. As a result, it's hard to know exactly what to trust when it comes to leaked info. In other words, even if Let's Go Pikachu and Eevee are real, it's impossible to say what is and isn't real about them until there's an official announcement.
One thing for sure is this: there's a strong chance we're seeing the new Pokémon on Switch soon. We know it's coming, and the time is right for us to see it. If you're hyped to learn more about the games, then join the club! In the meantime, don't get your hopes up too high because of supposed leaks and rumors.
In short, have fun speculating and fantasizing over what Pokémon on Switch will be. Just don't get totally crushed if the real deal isn't what you expected.

This week we revisit a favourite of mine, Kraven's Last Hunt. In the original story, Great White Hunter and Owner Of A Lion Vest Kraven the Hunter goes insane, kidnaps Spider-Man, buries him alive, beats the shit out of people and then blows his own head off with a shotgun. It's AMAZING.
This story is… less of that. We open on Spidey swinging home one night when Kraven shoots him with a blow dart, immobilizing him. But instead of just tying Spidey up and burying him, Kraven does what super villains should have been doing for years and shoots Spidey in the fucking head. It's the smartest thing a Spider-Man villain has ever done but it's not what you'd call dramatically satisfying.
Kraven and his lackeys bring the spectacular Spider-Corpse to a graveyard where they bury it with a custom gravestone, after which Kraven literally dances on the grave. After a quick trip to his back to his mansion to devour massive handfuls of spiders, I vomit, I mean he swipes Spidey's costume and heads out on a Roaring Rampage of Revenge™ against… random street crime. Hey, thanks, Kraven. You're doing… well, the Punisher's work anyway.
Back at Peter Parker's Peter aparkment (sorry), Mary Jane Watson-Parker-Bouvier-Terwilliger-Hutz-McClure-Nahasapeemapetilon waits by the window and mostly frets. She eventually goes out into the rain to find her husband and is immediately cat called by street douches. This issue is a real winner for MJ. Luckily, Spider-Kraven shows up literally foaming at the mouth and rescues her. MJ sees how brutal Spider-Man acts, how he didn't even notice her and most importantly how he kept his mouth shut for the entire battle.
"That is definitely not my Peter." She thinks.
MJ starts visiting the usual Spidey cast for help. Eventually, Flash Thompson takes her to the Baxter Building where they meet with the Human Torch who… I guess is still friends with Spidey but doesn't know who he is yet? Anyway, the Torch has been watching the news and seeing all these brutal attacks by Spider-Man and figures something isn't exactly kosher. He calls two friends and they call two friends and eventually the Torch pulls together Spidey's other closest friends in the Marvel Universe, Daredevil and… Captain America? Fine.
The three heroes split up to look for this new Spidey and they eventually all find him. Seperately. Which is weird. Anyway, they figure out that this isn't Spidey pretty quickly as he endangers a baby and throws bricks at the Human Torch. No spider in history has ever thrown a brick at anyone. (If you have knowledge of spiders hurling bricks at you or a friend, please post your story in the comments.)
Spidey's Amazing Friends meet up at the Baxter Building where MJ continues to wait and cry. They tell her that they believe her about the new brutal Spider-Man being an imposter and she tells them that she's actually Mrs. Spider-Man. (You know, I would kill for some Golden Age Spider-Man stories where MJ tries to trick Spider-Man into marrying her.)
Meanwhile, New York is having bigger problems as a gross rat monster known as the Vermin has been dragging folks into the sewer and eating them. Trust me, this is a bigger deal in the original story. The Vermin attacks J Jonah Jameson while he's waiting for a cab and is about to drag him into the sewer to make J Jonah Jibblets when Spider-Kraven arrives.
This, of course, results in a rant of "Help! Spider-Man and his best friend this giant rat were going to eat me!" which is definitely newsworthy.
The Torch, Cap and Daredevil arrive and then everyone beats the shit out of each other for a while. Beaten, Kraven flees and the heroes follow him back to the cemetery where the find he has dug up Peter's grave and is now eating him. Which is all sorts of disgusting. The Torch finally beats Kraven while Cap puts a tarp over the devoured remains of Peter Parker. Who was eaten. By a silver age villain in a lion vest.
Everyone heads back to Mary Jane's place where she cries a lot more but at least can stop standing by windows now. Kraven gets carted to a mental institution where he can eat all the spiders he wants and maybe eventually work for Dracula which I am now realizing is a comic I absolutely want to read.
Meanwhile, MJ goes to tell Aunt May what's happened to her nephew but this is mean crotchety Aunt May who doesn't believe her and is mostly just a jerk. Thanks for nothing, Aunt May! Now who's going to lift machinery to get you your heart medication?! You dick!
At the funeral, Mary Jane has the bright idea to hold a press conference at the Baxter Building telling the world what a hero Spider-Man actually was. In life, wealth and fame he may have ignore, but in death he should at least get some praise. Unfortunately, Jameson shows up to present his yelling, hysterical side of the story. Everyone latches on a picture of the Torch trying to get JJJ to leave and ignores the whole "abusing a grieving widow" angle. All of this results in a world much less trusting of super-heroes. The president bans super heroes from meeting and the Avengers and the FF close up shop. So look forward to that next Skrull invasion, folks!

About Chipset Drivers:
Windows OS automatically installs a generic driver that allows computers to recognize basic motherboard functions. However, to make use of all board components, appropriate chipset drivers must be applied.
If you install this package, the system will receive related information regarding the chipset. Also, this step might improve compatibility and bus transfer speeds, add various changes for sleep state behavior, power saving functionality and others, or include support for new features.
To apply this release, simply make sure your system configuration is supported by this package, get the file, run the available setup, and follow the on-screen instructions. Bear in mind that installing inappropriate chipset drivers can cause computers to malfunction.

BOSTON - Confidence in the economy among Massachusetts businesses mirrors the economy itself, Global Economics Executive Director Sara Johnson said: "slowing a bit, but still strong overall."
As measured by the Associated Industries of Massachusetts, business confidence has dropped 6.8 points on its 100-point scale in the last year and hit its lowest point since 2016 in January.
But Bay State employers were felt better about the economy in February and the index climbed half a point to 58.2 points "as optimism about the state and national economies outweighed a darkening outlook among Massachusetts manufacturers," AIM reported Tuesday.
The slight increase, AIM said, was driven by a 3.4-point boost in employer views of the Massachusetts economy and a 3.3 percent rise in their feelings towards the national economy.
"Employers remain generally optimistic about a state economy that continues to run at full employment levels and a U.S. economy that is projected to grow by 2.2 percent this year," said Raymond Torto, chairman of AIM's Board of Economic Advisors. "At the same time, the erosion of confidence among Massachusetts manufacturers during the past 12 months raises some concern about the long-term sustainability of the recovery."
Johnson said employers have been buoyed so far this year by the end of the partial federal government shutdown and the Federal Reserve's decision to freeze increases in interest rates, but still contend with concerns about global financial markets and the possibility of another recession.
AIM's index has been issued monthly since July 1991. It is presented on a 100-point scale, with 50 being neutral. The index has remained above 50 since October 2013.

You Should Never Buy a Rice Cooker that is Too Big for Your Needs
Determining what size of rice cooker you need is the first thing to consider when shopping for a machine. When measuring rice, Japanese people use a unit of measurement called gou (合), roughly 180ml. Gou is part of the shakkanhou (尺貫法) system of measurement, a traditional system that is no longer commonly used, but maintains its legacy as the standard for measuring both rice and sake. When you see the term "cup" in a rice cooker's description, it is likely 1 gou, not a metric cup (250ml) typically used in cooking and baking.
(Also, please note that 1 cup in modern Japan is equal to only 200ml, so please sure to adjust your recipes while cooking in Japan, and likewise if working off a Japanese recipe in the west.)
The shakkanhou system works like this:

Kendall Jenner's A Lacy Lady In Anine Bing
Kendall Jenner is the queen of Coachella cool. She shuns day-glo brights, fringed fancies and face gems. Oh no, when Kendall Jenner does festival chic, she does it very much her own way. Case in point: this killer, understated look. Posing in a lacy little bralet (which apparently caused a massive spike in Google searches for 'lace bralet' – now who's breaking the Internet?) and a pair of Lennon-esque round sunnies, Kendall is proving festival fashion doesn't have to be bold to be beautiful.
Teamed with a wide-brimmed hat, Kendall looks more of a rock star than a supermodel – although those artfully teased locks are adding glamour points. At under £70, Kendall's delicate bralet top has gone straight to the top of our wishlist – if you're feeling as brave as Kendall you can rock it au naturel, or throw a man's white shirt over it for a bit of peek-a-boo prettiness.
There's not much more sultry than a spaghetti strap and a sprinkle of lace, so wear with caution…

Winning back lost customers is an important growth strategy, especially for businesses operating on a recurring revenue model. Think about the efforts, money, and resources you need to acquire a new customer. Instead, why not sharpen and use the old sword?
It is easier to sell to your former customer who is already acquainted with your product. As per a study, there are 20 to 40 % chances of winning back an ex-customer and only a 5 to 20 % chance of turning a new prospect into a paying customer.
Your most unhappy customers are your greatest source of learning- Bill Gates
Look at this through an optimistic lens; your unhappy customers are giving you a chance to get better for surpassing your competitors. Rather than abandoning them, find out and fix the problems in your offering. Customers don't instantly decide to quit. It is a gradual decision based on the experience of using your product. There might be something lacking or going wrong that showed them the exit door.
Like –
- The customers might not be happy with your price
- Your solution isn't solving their problem
- Your product hasn't kept up with time
- They feel your competitor is better
To win such lost customers, you need to up your game.
"You can always improve your situation. But you do so by facing it, not by running away" – Brad Warner
Here are few tips to win back lost customer:
1. Find out why do your customers leave
For winning back lapsed customers, you will have to dig into the reason to understand why they left at the first place. Be honest with yourself while finding the cause. Did you fail to deliver the promised service? Or were they lured away by your competitor offering better price and benefits?
- Send surveys to learn why the subscribers left and improve your service based on their feedback.
- Reflect on the past sales data and create reports for determining your strengths and weaknesses that gave them a reason to leave.
- Conduct competitive analysis for understanding what's motivating your customers to buy from your competitors.
2. Spot and segment the lost customers
There are some past accounts that you shouldn't touch as you will just end up wasting your time. Analyze the wealth of information you have about your customers and find out potential win-back targets. Separate the wheat from the chaff by segmenting the customers to estimate how likely are the chances for a specific client to return.
Create four segments from the database of lost customers to create win-back strategies and prioritize your time productively:
- Unprofitable customers whom you removed from the sales pipeline (accounts not to be touched)
- Customers who were price sensitive
- Those who were attracted towards your competitors due to special offers and additional features
- Customers whose expectations you couldn't meet
3. Take responsibility for the inconvenience caused and offer special discounts
Overselling and under delivering can endanger the customer relationships. That is why you should always choose your words wisely while communicating with your clients to avoid churns. If your customer canceled the subscription due to some genuine glitches, then take the responsibility of the issue and extend a sincere apology.
- To compensate, offer special discounts
- Try to regain their trust with dedicated services
- Reduce the price of your subscription service for few months
4. Keep upgrading your features
Customers want to work with the best; so, ensure you always stay updated with the changing trends. Keep upgrading and introducing new features for providing optimum user experience. Discuss the issues your former customers faced while using your product. Don't only try to make a minor adjustment but focus on improving your product.
- Invest a little in upgrades and new features to attract the old customers
- For example, Netflix is planning to spend around 85% on original content for keeping its subscribers hooked
- Don't lose hope; contact your lost customers after the upgrades and demonstrate the value of your product properly
5. Use emails to reach your lost customers
Make the most of the email addresses lying in your contact database. Through effective email campaigns, try to get back customers who ceased to pay. Use various strategies like asking them "do you want us to take you off the newsletter list?" If they give a positive response, then you still have an opportunity to convince them.
- Send newsletters about new upgrades and features
- Keep sending emails about special offers and discounts
- Send greeting emails on festivals and special occasions to make them feel special
Final words
There is always a way to get back the lost customers. Don't give up easily; you just need to explore all the possibilities and strategies to attract them again. Your former customers know you, so you don't need to put in extra efforts. Use technologies Like Salesmate CRM, where all the data is streamlined at one location so that you can easily reflect over the past interactions to find out where did you go wrong and what do you need to do to win lost customers again. You can try Salesmate for free to see how can it be beneficial for your business. To get more guidance connect with Salesmate's team they will be glad to help you.

When Is Too Soon to Travel With Your New Fling? (You'll Be Surprised)
A new survey sheds light on when a relationship is ready to go the distance.
Travel can be a romantic thrill — and also a serious test of a new relationship. So when is the best time to travel with a new love (or like) interest, to create the best potential for romance... without crushing a budding relationship?
According to a new survey by Hilton Hotels & Resorts among 1,000 U.S.-based adults, most folks say the earlier the better.
Indeed, results shows that six in 10 people think that it's a good idea to go on a trip with someone they've been seeing for less than three months... and that it's actually never too soon to travel with a significant other.
Experts say this is actually reasonable thinking. "[A getaway is] romantic, and will allow them to escape to a place where the usual distractions of life aren't embedded in their surroundings," says Antonia Hall, a psychologist and relationship expert. "There's no better way to really get to know someone than to travel with them. It's actually a very informative way to know how your potential long-term partner deals with flight delays, traffic, and other situations that can arise, and whether or not you're truly compatible."
And even if you're not in a relationship, the study shows respondents see potential for love in travel. Among single ladies and guys, one in three say they are looking to find romance while on vacation.
That theory too makes sense: When escaping to another place, it can feel like the real world is so far away that whatever one does can stay a getaway secret — and that can take the edge off enough for folks to open themselves up to love... or at least to possibility.
"Often, holidays bring out the desire for indulgences, and it's exciting to connect with a stranger and have a little romantic interlude while away," Hall says. "Blame it on sunshine, romantic settings, or the dopamine and neurotransmitter fix your body is providing. Hooking up is pleasure for pleasure's sake and that can be pretty tempting, especially when tucked away from everyday life."
Jet Set is Bravo's launch pad for the most extravagant, luxurious, and unforgettable travel experiences. Ready for takeoff? Then Like us on Facebook to stay connected to our daily updates.

Manlius Capitolinus, Marcus
Manlius Capitolinus, Marcus
Roman military leader; consul in 392 B.C.; patrician.
Only unreliable and fragmentary information from Roman tradition has been preserved concerning Manlius Capitolinus. He commanded Roman troops in a war against the equites (392 B.C.); he saved the Capitol from the Gauls (387, hence his nick-name Capitolinus); and in 384 he defended the plebeians against debt slavery, was accused by the patricians of striving to establish tyranny, and was executed (384 B.C.).

Moms Demand Action founder Shannon Watts claimed a win on Thursday because one state's Democrat governor signed a new gun law.
Moms Demand Action is a Michael Bloomberg-funded subsidiary of the gun control group, Everytown for Gun Safety.
Politico reports that the one state to adopt a new gun law was Louisiana, where Gov. John Bel Edwards (D) signed a bill enacting "new restrictions on firearms for domestic abusers." On the other hand, governors in Nevada, New Jersey, North Dakota, Tennessee and Utah all chose not to sign similar legislation.
So one governor said yes to gun control while five governors said no. Shannon Watts calls that a win.
Watts said, "When you look at what's happening in statehouses across the country, the gun safety movement is winning in state after state — even in this challenging political environment — because volunteers and gun violence survivors have become the counterweight to the gun lobby."
Contrary to Watts' claims, the gun control lobby is getting trounced at the state level. They lost in North Dakota and New Hampshire earlier this year, when both states abolished their concealed carry permit requirements, thereby adopting permitless carry. Moreover, the gun control lobby lost in Georgia and Arkansas, as both passed campus carry into law earlier this year as well.

T.I.'s video features a "Malania Trump" Stripper
Ohhh T.I.... You so crazy!!!
T.I. got the White House tripping over his new promo video to promote his new album "Dime Trap". It features a Malania Trump look a like stripping down for T.I. in the oval office after Trump leaves! LOLOLOL T.I. posted it on his twitter with the caption, "45, I ain't no Kanye."
Of course the White House is coming for T.I. calling it unacceptable and trying to get people to boycott his music... but if anything, it's brought more attention to his new album!!

If you want to know how to apply universities in United States, just listen to this course!!
The only thing that I feel a little uncomfortable is that the professor is speaking at such a slow speed, I have to listen to this course at 1.50 x.

This course provides many insights about applying U.S. universities. For example, the instructor said that rankings should be used to find universities you've never heard of rather than to compare universities in the same tier, which I can't agree more. The course also picks several different universities in the States to show audience how to analyse and choose a university. In conclusion, I found this course very helpful, even though I was applying for graduate school.

We are pleased to inform you that Nordic Go Dojo, the spiritual successor of Nordic Go Academy, will start its online league in January 2019! We are continuing the same concept that made NGA popular: league games are reviewed offline by our teachers, and in addition we hold lectures and our head coach, Jeff, provides personal feedback to the students on their progress.
Ever since strong go-playing AI became accessible to everybody, there has been a revolution in how the game is studied. Anybody who has a moderately well-equipped computer can now install the latest version of Leela Zero and have a professional-level sparring partner and research tool. In the future, similarly to chess, the world champion of go will likely be a player that has studied with AI for the most of their career.
We see AI as a valuable tool, but also put value on human decision-making and planning. We believe that the best teachers are still human: while the AI may play stronger moves, it is unable to explain why it plays them. That is why we endeavor to create a learning environment where go enthusiasts can study the game and discuss the newest pattern developments together while at the same time getting directions from our experienced teachers.
Here are the specifics of our program in a nutshell:
- Online league format – one registration spans two months
- Two intensity options:
- Full option (90€) – eight games reviewed, four lectures and personal coaching
- Half option (50€) – four games reviewed and four lectures
- Runs on the KGS Go Server
- League games are played with players of similar level, and the league rankings are adjusted bimonthly according to results. All games are reviewed!
The first season of our online league has an introductory price with a 20% discount! If you are interested, why not give it a go?

On June 1, 2018 The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) announced that IMAP will be its fifth mission in its Solar Terrestrial Probes Programto help study the heliosphere, the bubble-like structure encircling our solar system. The IMAP science mission intends to uncover the mysteries surrounding how the heliosphere interacts with the interstellar space and the continuous stream of charged particles ejected from the sun that permeates our solar system known as the solar wind. NASA hopes that researchers on the IMAP team will be able to collect and analyze the particles that make it through the heliosphere, which acts as a protective boundary to our solar system, keeping out plasma particles and other harmful cosmic rays.
David McComas, Professor of Astrophysical Sciences at Princeton University and vice president for the Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory, has been selected as the principal investigator of the IMAP science mission. Domestic and international collaborators will supply science instruments that will travel approximately one million miles away from the Earth so that IMAP can collect data from the distant solar system. The full story can be read here.

An arthritis drug costing "pennies" could be used to treat blood cancer patients after a breakthrough by Yorkshire researchers.
Each year 3,000 people in the UK are diagnosed with Polycythemia Vera (PV), a type of blood cancer which causes an overproduction of red blood cells.
The chronic condition generally affects elderly people for around 10 years and patients suffer with itching, headaches, weight loss, fatigue and night sweats. When it is not controlled it can be life-threatening, with the overproduction of blood putting strain on the heart or causing clots, which can lead to stroke, deep vein thrombosis and embolisms.
But scientists at the University of Sheffield have discovered that methotrexate (MTX), which has been used for 35 years to treat inflammatory diseases including rheumatoid arthritis, Crohn's disease and psoriasis, can disrupt the JAK/STAT signalling - the pathway activity which leads to the development of blood cancers like PV.
Dr Martin Zeidler, from the University of Sheffield's Department of Biomedical Science, said initial tests on fruit flies and mice showed success "pretty conclusively" and that re-purposing the drug for blood cancer patients could have substantial benefits - both clinically and economically.
The team now hope to go on to a full clinical trial early next year.
Dr Zeidler told The Yorkshire Post: "Methotrexate costs pennies - a year's worth costs around £40 to £50. In terms of modern drugs it's trivial. Here we have the potential to take a very cheap, established and well known drug to clinical trial.
"A similar drug being trialled in the UK at the moment costs £42,000 a year and it does basically the same thing. The NHS is not made of money, and we're hoping we will be able prove the cheaper option works. There is also great potential for its use around the world in places like India and third world countries where the more expensive option is not affordable."
Dr Ziedler said the trial was a "true Yorkshire success story", combining the expertise of scientists at the University with haematologists at Sheffield's Royal Hallamshire Hospital, and a potential collaboration with Rosemont Pharmaceuticals in Leeds should a human trial go ahead.
Dr Kathryn Scott, chief executive at Yorkshire Cancer Research, said the research was a "promising development" in the treatment of blood cancers.
"It's fantastic to see this type of ground-breaking cancer research taking place in Yorkshire," she said.
"Hospitals that have a high level of medical research tend to have better outcomes, and clinical trials can bring the most pioneering and innovative treatments to local people. That's why we're dedicated to bringing more trials to the region.
"The fact that this drug is already being used to treat arthritis means it has the potential to become available to patients much sooner than new therapies."

Easy-to-engrave PVC Foam Board Material for Decoration of Brunei Mosque Construction
May 2017 is a rainy month and the weather is getting hotter and hotter. In this month, in order to complete the entire workload of customer orders in the shortest possible time, the company's entire logistic team has been working overtime, the engraving machine has been working 24 hours a day, the logistic team took turns to work, and worked day and night. Finally, the entire workload was completed within the agreed time frame, which was approximately 10 days earlier than the customer's originally agreed delivery time. This batch of PVC sheet carving materials is destined for foreign countries and is used for decorating and decorating the Brunei Mosque. Now the Brunei Mosque is almost completed. It can be seen that the carving materials have been eye-catchingly decorated on the mosque. Not bad.

It's been a busy week at our house, as I'm sure it has at yours. Last week I finished with a book to be released on the 15th of this month. At the present, I'm doing a final edit on a book to be released December 1. Something is happening all the time here.
You can teach an old dog new tricks. We've learned about ordering take out food online. We live about five minutes from a Domino's Pizza. I can order online, watch the progress of the preparation, and my hubby can jump in the car and go. He said when he drives up to the window it opens and someone says, "Are you Jerry?" He answers it is and his pizza is handed to him. Cool.
Our youngest grandchild is spending the night with us, so it will be pizza, my favorite. I'm sure he'll want to tag along to pick it up. He is also behind on Netflix. There are a lot of new movies he hasn't seen.
Each year we make apple butter the old fashioned way. Outside in a brass kettle. We will do this again Monday. This is something that has been handed down to us from our ancestors. The stirrer we use is probably over 100 years old. The kettle was my grandmother's and probably my great-grandmother's.
When I was growing up, each Labor Day was apple butter making day. I remember my mother getting up early and peeling the apples. As she and my grandmother peeled, they cooked them in the open kettle. My grandmother always put a silver dollar in the bottom of the kettle. I have no idea why, but it works as well without the silver dollar.
This is an all day venture. We have some friends that help us. The kettle is heavy when we take it off the fire, and you have to work quickly to fill and seal the jars. All in all, it's a good day. Our day will go a little faster than my parents and grandparents did. Our apples are already cooked.
We're getting some good response to our writers retreat in June. Several people have replied that they want to attend. The theme is "Fill My Cup" and it begins June 12-15 at Paris Landing State Park in Paris, TN. I'm excited to be doing a class on marketing. More information will be released in January.

I have survived my friends.
I am on the other side of summer school.
I love life again.
Let's recap my Monday Fun-day:
1. School presentation @ 1pm. Nailed.It. (even H commented on my fab power point). However, he said my content analysis of website homepages was pretty-drab! But, that's ok....I got him back! He had me review a paper for him and I pretty much used an entire red pen on it. Some of the edits were legit....other ones I wrote on his paper just to hear him laugh as he made his corrections. (example: he used the word "landed" in a sentence. I told him to think of another word, because he is not an astronaut and he doesn't LAND.) I love our witty banter. Love.It.
2. Dropped my car off for the grill and hood to be fixed. Funny story about my grill....I asked the repair man to simply glue a piece of my grill to my car. That quick fix saved me around $500! Never underestimate the power of super-glue! I have hung-up curtains with super-glue before. Single gurls do what they have to do!!
3. At 3pm, I bought a house. "I" as in me and my man. We bought a house. We own a home. We are moving, but only 20 minutes down the road from our current home. We are pumped to say the least! And the little doggies are going to LOVE IT!! This is my 5th home to move into within 5 years! I would like to live in this home for fifty-leven years! Quick recap of the house: fenced in back yard for the doggies, sidewalks in the neighborhood for the doggies, hardwood floors for the dogs to run and slide on, H will actually have an office again and will no longer be in the laundry room, I will have a dining room again and the doggies will be "cow dogs" as our back yard backs up to a cow pasture. :)
4. My new nickname for Oscar and Cooper is Frito and Dorito. Is it just me, or do wienie dogs smell like corn chips in the morning when they wake up? Love.those.stinkin'.buddies!!!

St. George Intermodal Terminal in New York. Courtesy Wikimedia (left).
St. George Ferry Terminal is the gateway to Staten Island and incorporates a seven-boat ferry fleet, sixteen separate local bus lines, the Staten Island Railway and additional pedestrian and vehicular traffic. The project includes the rehabilitation of existing waiting room, concourses, public and NYCDOT spaces, as well as stairs, ramps and retail areas. A major focal point of the renovated facility is a new arch structure that spans the new north building and the new maintenance facility. The arch is 80 feet in height and 300 feet in length. Design was also provided for the new esplanade, plaza and connection building, including new elevators, stairs and escalators. The project resulted in a more efficient and accommodating facility, allowing for better connections between the different modes of transportation available at the site, while supplying a more inviting atmosphere. The terminal is the first intermodal facility in the country to receive LEED certification.

In the Family Violence and Women's Rights Clinic (FVWR), students are invited to join the fight towards attaining justice and safety for victims of intimate partner violence.
Serving the unmet needs of local survivors of domestic violence in Western New York, the Family Violence & Women's Right Clinic seeks to fill the gap to ensure victims of violence receive the proper legal representation needed in many areas of the law, including: family offense petitions, child support, custody, and visitation cases.
Judith Olin, Director of the Family Violence and Women's Rights Clinic
University at Buffalo
School of Law
415 O'Brian Hall, North Campus
Buffalo, NY 14260-1100
The Family Violence & Women's Rights Clinic is proudly funded partially by the New York State Office for the Prevention of Domestic Violence and generous donors of the FVWRC.
Throughout the semester, student attorneys represent family violence survivors in Family and Integrated Domestic Violence courts. Most of the Clinics' clients are single, female, heads of household with young children. These survivors are struggling to emerge from the violence and rebuild their lives with adequate financial resources, and emotional support to care for themselves and their children.
In the fall of 2018, Clinic students trained over 100 high school seniors at a local public high school in a Clinic -created teen dating violence prevention curriculum. Other school officials have contacted the Clinic, requesting the same for their school districts.
For 2018-19, Clinic students are joining forces with New York Assembly member Monica Piga Wallace '94 to assist with proposed state legislation that would require school districts to offer age-appropriate curricula in teen dating violence prevention to students in grades 7-12. The student attorneys will be conducting research as well as engaging in outreach, education, and advocacy with stakeholders locally and statewide.

The problem with batch cooking is that you end up eating the same thing for the entire week. So with the same ingredients, I made beef stew 2 ways.
Chinese style beef stew with mushrooms, radish and carrots. I braised this with cinnamon, star anise, garlic, ginger, zhu hou sauce, soy and rock sugar.
Western style beef stew with the common ingredients of herbs, onion, leek, garlic, red wine and chopped tomatoes.
Which would you prefer?
