THE long predicted shakeout within the U.K.legal systems market may have finally got underway last month when Technology for Business plc (better known as TFB) announced it had purchased rival supplier Avenue Legal Systems Ltd. The Avenue acquisition, backed by the Bank of Scotland, is TFB's second takeover in recent months. In April it bought the Scottish legal I.T. specialist CB Business Systems Ltd. TFB says the Avenue deal makes it the U.K.'s largest legal I.T. supplier, with a combined turnover of approximately U.S. $18 million, and a total client base approaching 1000 medium-to-large sized law firms. (TFB does not operate at the "City" end of the market catered for by the likes of Hummingbird International and Elite Information Systems Inc.)
There are no signs that the expansion will stop with Avenue. TFB managing director Simon Hill says the company will continue "to actively pursue further acquisition targets both in the U.K. and abroad to consolidate its position as a market leader," and hinted that the U.S., Irish, telecoms and knowledge management market sectors were all being investigated. TFB ultimately plans a public flotation on the main London stock market.
In terms of the consequences for Avenue users, TFB says it is committed to supporting the older Avenue Solomon legacy accounts and billing system for at least the next two years. Firms running the latest Avenue Wisdom system will, in the short term, benefit from TFB's extensive customer care and R&D resources, in says. In the medium term, they will be entitled to a free upgrade to the common successor system now being developed to replace the Avenue, CB and TFB ranges.
And, if you are wondering why the market could do with a shakeout -- although there are about 10,000 law firms in the U.K., only 2000 employ more than 10 people (including lawyers) yet there are about 60 systems suppliers dedicated to selling into this market.
Barristers Get ASP Service
This month saw the launch of a new service for barristers offering a virtual alternative to the traditional clerk and chambers administration system. Called Freedom 2000, it offers an ASP approach (application service provider) to the delivery of general purpose office applications, such as Microsoft Office, as well as more specialist software such as the Meridian Law Ltd. chambers and fee note system. Freedom runs on thin client technology (Citrix or WTS) enabling barristers to access it on a 24/7 basis from anywhere using relatively low specification PCs. Five sets of barristers chambers have already signed up for Freedom, although the only one to go public to-date is Clerksroom.com. This is a new virtual set that already provides some 90 barristers with online clerking, internet access to legal information databases and web based marketing services.
Tikit Floats on Stock Exchange
The legal I.T. services and consultancy company Tikit Group plc has floated on the London AIM stock exchange. (This is London's second market, the equivalent of NASDAQ.) The placing, in June, capitalizes the company at U.S. $19 million. Tikit also is well known as a distributor and integrator of U.S. based products, such as Carpe Diem and the Interface InterAction system.
Tikit's directors believe the flotation will help the company take advantage of existing opportunities for expanding its business and will also enable it to attract and retain key employees. Tikit's target market is the top 200 law firms in the U.K., which currently spend between four and seven percent of their gross annual fee income on I.T. products and services. Last year the top 100 firms alone had a total fee income of more than U.S. $9 billion, suggesting the City end of the legal market could be spending as much as U.S. $450 million a year on I.T. ( although this figure does also include staff). Last year Tikit customers included nine of the U.K.'s top 10 firms.
Changing Places at LSSA
The U.K.'s Legal Software Suppliers Association (LSSA is the U.K. legal I.T. industry body) annual general meeting last month saw Neil Ewin, the head of case management software supplier Solicitec Legal Systems Ltd. depart as chair after a two year stint. He's succeeded by former vice chair Alan Richardson of Norwel Ltd. Phil Snee of Linetime Ltd. is LSSA's new vice chair.
Ewin, who deserves much of the credit for establishing a better working relationship between suppliers and the English Law Society over the last couple of years, will continue to head the LSSA team to work with the Law Society on its Software Solutions Guide. LSSA also agreed to devote more resources to its XML working party after initial studies indicated that various (primarily U.S.-oriented) XML efforts, including LegalXML and LEDES, were not sufficiently relevant to lend themselves to a direct transfer to the U.K. legal I.T. market. LSSA member Solicitors Own Software Ltd is already working on an XML system for handling Legal Services Commission (the U.K. government agency that provides financial assistance to support litigation by plaintiffs who would otherwise be unable to afford to hire a lawyer) reporting requirements.
Sycamore Targets U.S.
Kaye Sycamore, the popular face of the Anglo-New Zealand legal systems supplier Keystone Solutions plc since the company launched in the U.K. in the mid-1990s, has been reassigned to the United States as part of the build up to the U.S. launch of the Americanized version of the Keystone Professional PMS product later this year. The company has also reassigned Brent Nicholson, one of its heaviest hitters from the Australia-Asian market, to support the US project.
Smith Bernal Moves into Events
To date, Smith Bernal International's name (Smith Bernal International Ltd. is now part of the Boston, Mass based WordWave Inc.) has been synonymous with court reporting and the Livenote real-time transcription system. But last month, the company launched a new joint venture with conference organizers IBC (part of Informa Group plc) that will move the company into the broader events market.
Called KeyNote Online, the service will draw on Smith Bernal's transcription and digital audio recording skills to provide conference delegates with not only the full text of conference presentations, but also copies of speakers' PowerPoint slides and searchable recordings of what was actually said at the event.
Along with providing a comprehensive record of an individual event, it offers a way for firms to build up a library of conference papers that can also be used for ongoing education purposes by non-attendees. The service, which will be accessible to subscribers via the Internet, will initially focus on intellectual property, competition, I.T. and media law conferences.
Smith Bernal's Graham Smith says the company intends to use the new Version 8 release of Livenote in the Barings Bank failure litigation, which is just getting underway in the High Court in London. Barring any last minute settlements, it should run until March 2002. Features include improved messaging services for discretely passing annotated notes between advocates and their support staff; and auto tags as an alternative to full text searching.
The company also plans a major upgrade (Version 9) for the middle of next year. This is likely to include XML and an interactive browser interface, he said.

The final working party of the year at the lottie site at the weekend. The hardy members worked hard under dull November skies stopping frequently for coffee and laughter. We cleared our list of jobs to be done so went home exhausted, aching but satisfied.
The first job was to weed the Summer Garden, collect up the fallen leaves, give the roses a good dose of good old-fashioned cow muck and finish off by mulching the surface with woodchip to protect the bed from the winter cold and rain. One of the Charles Darwin rose bushes was still in flower so gave a glimpse of yellow and a burst of scent as we worked.
We then treated the three Buddleja Beds and the sensory garden to a weed and mulch. So now all the beds on the site have been weeded and have a protective duvet of woodchip on them.
We then split up with Geoff giving the small meadow a haircut and weed. We were amazed by how many seedling of wildflowers decorated its surface. this job would normally be done much earlier in the year but this meadow has only just finished flowering. The rest of us planted bulbs in one of our orchards including Camassia and crocus, and took hardwood cuttings of coloured stemmed dogwoods and willows.

Thrifting with a new friend
Thank you for your encouraging messages and prayers. They have meant so much! It looks like my son's records have finally gotten to the expert in Los Angeles (I am just awaiting confirmation today), so that is great. And the other good news is that he hasn't had any episodes of tachycardia (rapid heart rate) in several weeks, so while he still has the condition, he may well have it to a lesser degree than he did before. That is what we are hoping.
In the meantime, I have been busy as usual with life and love and children. My oldest will be starting high school next year. We are so lucky that we have some of the best high schools in the country here, but you really have to jump through hoops filling out paper work and getting the forms done correctly. I spent much of this week making sure we didn't miss a thing. Despite my hectic schedule, I was lucky enough to meet up with a new blog friend, Karan. She is just as much fun as her blog in real life! We have gone shopping together twice together now, and I could be in real trouble, because I need to behave myself and not give in to temptation!! She is a real kindred spirit. She had me over for tea one morning with gorgeous vintage tea cups, real whipped cream with vanilla and Earl Grey tea. Yum!! Her house was so full of amazing vintage finds, altered books and other artwork she had created, you could just explore for hours. I think I almost had a lust attack.
I need to restrain myself to only shopping one or two days a week with a really strict dollar limit, so I don't get into trouble. Here are a few of the goodies I came home with recently. I also found a great old galvanized mop bucket for planting in, 3 stackable black pyrex mixing bowls, a vintage porcelain and brass clock (that I stood up and shattered!), a stack of vintage sewing patterns, a wood and glass serving tray and a whole lot more. Karan is going to be a whole lot of fun!! And she has art parties at her house too!!
Love this chippy little ironstone gravy boat:
How about this old silver clock?
Or an apothecary jar full of vintage French embroidery floss?

sounds like fun! 🙂
OOhhhhh, what great finds! Love the jar. I hope you find some treasures on Sunday.

Showers Bring May Flowers, Headaches to Homemaker
Spring showers bring May flowers. But they also bring full-blooming headaches to many a household homemaker.
It's a scientific fact that changing inclement weather encourages headaches in both men and women. But women get more of them.
Medical science confirms that women suffer far more migraine than men and almost three times as many muscle-contraction. or nervous tension, headaches. And one of the most frequently reported reasons for women's nervous tension headaches is "miserable weather."
Scientists now know that temperature, humidity, wind, natural radiation and oxygen pressure all contribute to, or detract from, man's health and well-being.
For years they have been studying human biometeorology the effects of atmospheric and cultural environments on human beings.
Women long have known that incessant spring showers can bring on the "blues;" make you jumpy give you "the miseries" or, play havoc with your corns. Women know these things, because they are more sensitive to all forms of stimuli -both physical and psychological.
Whether the stress situation is cranky children screaming around the house, the oppressive gloom generated by soggy spring weather, the prospect of being housebound by spring cleaning, or repressed hostility at thoughtless husband or boss, a woman reacts.
Her endocrine glandular system makes her respond just assuredly as it makes her female and her female headaches are "different."
She tightens up. Before long; her skull feels as though it's in a vise, muscles tighten in the back of head and neck and the shoulders. She has in effect, a full-blooming headache.
There are two steps a woman an can take. Eliminate the pain and tension, then reduce or improve the stress situation that is responsible.
Weather - induced headaches most often result from resentment at being confined indoors often with quarrelsome children. So why not dress them, and yourself, in warm clothes, waterproof rainwear and boots for an excursion outdoors?
Enjoy the rain, don't fight it and let the children enjoy the puddles. Or, if you're easily waterlogged, choose this time to plan the summer holidays; devote the afternoon to a complete beauty routine (with the TV doing "sitter duty"); take a nap; or just fritter the day away.
Do something selfish that you enjoy. And only work if work is your way of coping with springtime doldrums.

Why might a Procera® crown be necessary?

Reducing Sensors by Using Data Analytics
In today's automobiles, there are a number of sensors. This number varies from 15 to 50. Luxury models have many more sensors. It is projected that in the next few years, the number of sensors is likely to go up to 200. However, every additional sensor comes with a price tag. The higher the price tag, the less competitive the vehicle is in the market. On the other hand, sensor reduction at the cost of functionality reduction is not the solution. The right approach is to reduce the sensor cost by implementing the same functionality in software.
It is possible to take over the functionality of a sensor provided we have a good analytical method to predict the output of that sensor as if the sensor were actually present. Such analytical method should be able to predict the output on a real time basis. This puts a constraint on the type of equations one can use. They have to be simple enough to ensure that while solving we do not hamper the real time performance.
The problem we were trying to solve was whether there is a way to reduce nine temperature sensors measuring temperature inside the cabin in a luxury vehicle. We started with conducting experiments by heating and cooling the cabin. Temperature was measured at all nine locations where the sensors were supposed to be placed. Thus, we recorded nine channels of data. Each of these channels was analyzed separately. We developed a mathematical model to predict the temperature at nine locations. These equations were kept as first order equations to ensure quick computation. Thus, we did not make use of the Naïve Stokes equations. Our predicted temperatures were within 1 degree C. The main difference was that our calculations did not require high-end processors and all predictions were made on a real time basis. With this performance, we could reduce the nine sensors to only one.
Data analytics can be effectively used to predict values of the sensed quantity. In one particular case, our method predicted values as good as the predictions from solving complex Naïve Stokes equations. The major benefit was that our calculations did not require high-end processors further controlling the costs and all predictions were made on a real time basis.

Internal Analysis on Instagram and Lee Jeans
Mission and vision
Mission Instagram
We are not building a product but we are trying to solve problem for people, which end up becoming a business and product. Features or minor tweaks would have been brought up from problems an entrepreneur wants to solve.
What problems are we trying to solve?
1. You want to find information of something you capture with your phone not the keyword for search (sometimes you don't even know what to the keywords are) 2. You want to have an instant interaction with other people with similar question or interest 3. Easy(one click or a shot of photo should be enough) way to find/share/connect. http://blog.igarit.com/2011/02/instagram-founder-talks-and-our-mission.html
Vision Instagram
"Our vision for Instagram in the long run is seeing the world as it happens through other people's eyes." http://techcrunch.com/2011/04/02/instagram-2/
Instagram makes mobile photos fast, simple, & beautiful. When we sat down three months ago to start designing our product, we looked at digital photos and realized very few exciting things had happened in the last 5 years. We're setting out to change that, and this release is our first step along the way. Some of the problems with photos we heard from users that we tried to solve: 1. "My mobile photos look lame": even though the megapixel count on phone cameras keeps going up, most mobile photos don't have mood and tone. We set out to change this by making it super-simple to transform your photos using 11 one-click filters in the app. 2. "It's a pain to share to all the friends I care about": some of your friends want to follow your every update in life; others like seeing some occasional posts on Facebook. We made it super-simple to share photos not only with your followers in the Instagram community, but with Facebook, Twitter, Flickr, and Tumblr, all with a tap of the switch. 3. "Photos take forever to upload, and viewing them is slow": we worked to make the uploading, sharing, and viewing experiences as smooth and speedy as possible, whether you're using a first-gen iPhone or the latest and greatest. http://www.quora.com/Instagram/What-was-the-original-vision-for-Instagram
Personal justification on mission and vision
The mission of Instagram is totally opposite of what I thought it was. My personal opinion about the mission before I started doing research is, that it was all about sharing your live with friends, family, followers etc. But after reading their mission it became clear to me that it is all about solving problems for people. Reading the vision was no surprise for me. It is exactly what I thought. But it is totally different in comparison with the mission. Mission and vision aren't supporting each other. In the mission Instagram talks about solving a problem and in the vision it is all about 'seeing the world as it happens through other people's eyes' . It is totally different and like it was mentioned before they do not support each other

text: Encore! In this special discount version, we get a different edit of this scene with all the bondage but with less of an emphasis on the storyline or on-screen tying. Gorgeous Britney Amber (in pantyhose, heels and snug-fitting skirt and blouse) goes to work undercover in an office suspected of being a front for organized crime. The busty beauty is quite surprised when her new boss announces that she must be bound and gagged to be kept out of the way of an important meeting. Britney realizes she must play along, and he securely ties her to her chair and gags her with a bandana. The stunning blonde struggles and squirms against her restraints, but she remains a helpless captive. How long will he keep her a trussed up prisoner?

Stark County Court Angels Stark County Court Angels
Here's a sample of our volunteer opportunities:VIEW AS
Mission Statement
Our mission is to determine that the needs of Stark County Wards are being met and protect them from neglect or exploitation.
By volunteering for this program, you can impact the lives of vulnerable individuals in Stark County Ohio.
Guardianship is needed when a person known as a "ward" is determined to be unable to make decisions for himself due to a mental or physical disability. The ward may be suffering from conditions such as Alzheimer's, dementia, developmental disability, autism, or an incapacitating injury. They are some of the most vulnerable people in the community, and they rely on their guardians to make their healthcare and financial decisions.
The volunteer Court Angel is an important point of contact between the Court and the growing number of wards because the Court Angel acts as the eyes and ears of the Court. Court Angels volunteer one or more days per month, at their convenience, making visits to adult wards at local nursing homes, group homes, and private residences. They speak with the ward, his guardian, and his caretakers to find out what life is like for the ward. Then, they file a report with the Court that describes the ward's quality of care and overall well-being.

New Playstation Plus Subscription Details
So, at some point we all knew that Sony would create an online service that wasn't free. In comes Playstation Plus which gives players the option to pay $50 dollars a year or stick with their free service. What warrants the new "Plus" title? Let's find out.
As stated previously, the new "Plus" service will cost $50 dollars for a full year. PS3 owners will also have the option to purchase a 3 month package set at $18. At the launch of the new service, subscribers will be given a slue things as a big thank you: Wipeout HD, PSP minis, and PS One Classics, such as Fieldrunners, Age of Zombies and Rally Cross. A full game trial of Infamous, and free monthly episodes of Qore are also available.
These free downloads will remain yours as long as you're a subscriber. It's similar to what Microsoft does with their arcade games. If your purchase an arcade game, you will be able to play the full version as long as you want provided that you're connected online. Disconnect, and you'll only have the trial versions. The primary difference between them is that, once you're subscription ends, the games will need to be reactivated, i.e, renew your subscription.
What Microsoft doesn't do is provide free games to their Gold Members. Sony states that free monthly PSN games, minis and PS One Classics from the PSN Store will be given to members. Sony has not specified what games and how many will be available each month. There were a lot of titles on the PS One so a mix of both good well known games and notoriously bad will likely make an appearance. Maybe titles like "Tomba" will make an appearance.
Dynamic themes will be available(more then likely for a price), Avatars, and premium game elements/add ons are all apart of the new subscription based service. Early access to demos and betas are also more of an incentive as well.
PlayStation Plus members can also try full game titles before buying them. Each trail will typically last an hour before you must choose to purchase the game. Any progress you made in the trial period, including game saves and trophies earned, will carry over into the full game once purchased. This seems to be a new trend that's gonna take over. With Crackdown 2's demo giving players the option to obtain achievements that will be carried over, it seems only natural for more companies to follow in it's footsteps. Giving players more of an incentive to download their demos.
One of the PS3's biggest flaws was the lack of cross game chat. Sony responded with this:
"Cross-game voice chat is a feature we know our passionate user base has asked for and we'll continue to look at as a viable offering for the PlayStation Network," Sony said.

"Pisni Iz The Smiths" by The Ukrainians
Cooking Vinyl, CD: CKV5023, United States, 1992
This 4-track EP is very unusual and interesting, as the covers are sung in... Ukrainian! The songs were re-released in 1995 as bonus tracks on the North American re-release of their album "Kultura" on True North Records. "Koroleva Ne Polerma" was also found on the 1994 album "Vorony" released on the Green Linnet label. Live versions of "Batyar" and "Koroleva Ne Polerma" are also found on their 2001 live album "Drink To My Horse!" (Zirka Records ZRKCD 1).

Genres: Historical Romance
Format: eARC
Pages: 400
Amazon ,B&N ,Kobo , iBooks •Goodreads
Whether as spies or lovers, the Renegade Royals—illegitimate sons of England's Royal Princes—are bold, skillful, and a force to be reckoned with…
A war hero returned from Waterloo should be able to indulge in a bit of bad behavior. Instead, Captain William Endicott is summoned by his father, the Duke of York, to investigate an assassination plot. The unlikely suspect: William's former sweetheart. Will can't believe that innocent Evie Whitney could be mixed up in anything so nefarious. Then again, almost everything about Evie has changed—except for his body's instinctive response to hers…
Just as Evie's life is finally coming together, Will saunters back into it. Should she slap him—or seduce him? Even as she tries to decide, scandal pushes her toward marriage with a man she can neither trust nor resist—and into the heart of a deadly conspiracy…
My Thoughts
This is the third book in the Renegade Royals series, and my first read by this author. Overall I like her style of writing, so I will be reading the others in the series.
This was a sweet and charming read. I enjoyed the plot, though the pace moved a bit slow in certain sections, it did pick up quite well as the story progressed. The initial slow pace almost did me in, but I kept reading through the night, turning the pages to see how Evie and Will's romance would bloom, and to uncover the assignation plot.
I thought Evie was a good character. I really liked her, most of my emotions were engaged through her. At times she came off as soft, as too vulnerable, but really beneath all that pain and confusion of Will abandoning her, and his sudden reappearance in her life wreaking havoc on her emotions, she had the strength, determination, courage, and the ability to stand up for herself and her needs. I liked the blend, and I thought it was done quite well. She was a delightful and endearing heroine.
Will was also a likable hero. Certainly honorable and charming, and I enjoyed watching him realize the depth of his feelings for Evie. The romance moved sweet and slow, but it was still quite satisfying. But, I think what I enjoyed most was the plot and the historical details woven throughout the book. I also loved the layers and the complexity of the plot, making this romance read sweet and intriguing.
I would recommend to historical romance lovers.

A fantastic new scheme is under way at a Cornwall park. They are helping save and preserve the environment by introducing freecycling to their site.
At the end of every holiday there is always a ton of things that I simply cannot be bothered to take home with me, lazy I know. Something that I am sure a lot of people do towards the latter days of the holiday season. This has been picked up on by Newquay's Hendra Holiday Park and they are really doing something about it.
The site is inviting guest to do more than just chuck their unwanted holiday accessories. They want anything unwanted that can be used again to be left at designated areas around their site. This way they can be reused by other guests instead of taking up at dump sites and landfills across the country.
The freecycling scheme was introduced in the 2017 summer season and there has been a great following for the idea. The things that have been left behind are all you need for a great day at the beach. Buckets and spades, beach balls, rubber rings and many other items have been left for the enjoyment any and everyone at the park.
This season saw over 3,500 guest come to the site and take part in ensuring that anything that can be reused was left for other guests. By using posters around the park to remind visitors what they can do, how they can take part and where the drop sites are.
By making sure that guest take part they are doing their part and taking responsibility for reducing the waste and pollution that a touring holiday can create. Most of, if not all of our readers do their part to leave as small of a carbon footprint as possible by being responsible tourers. And this site is taking positive steps to reduce theirs and increasing the sites charity appeal.
It is hard not to love the idea which is a win win for everyone involved. I think we can all remember the heartbreak that came with a broken bucket or snapped spade at the beach as a child. But now with this scheme you can pop to one of the drop sites and either replace it or find something better for kids.
Hendra's general manager Matt Way has said: "Our aim was to try and reduce the number of reusable items which people bought for their holidays, but then threw away because they had no use for them back home," he said.
"Now they can leave their unwanted but undamaged goods at one of our freecycle stations, and new guests can come along and help themselves at no cost.
"Often these families will then return the items after their stay has finished, meaning that a single item can be freecycled many times in one season.
"The take-up has been fantastic, and has also given us the opportunity to engage more closely with our visitors on Hendra's philosophy of sustainable management," added Matt.
This innovative scheme has not gone unnoticed and is getting a lot of attention from other accommodation providers in the region. I can see this being used a lot more by many other sites and parks across the UK in 2018.
Hendra's investment into environment-friendly initiatives has gained it many green awards, including the Sustainable Tourism Business gold at the Visit Cornwall Tourism Awards for 2017.
Also this year, the business was named as Holiday Park of the Year for Cornwall and for South West England - and was honoured with top gold awards from VisitEngland and the AA.
More information about the park, and details about its successful efforts to protect the natural world, are published on Hendra's website at www.hendra-holidays.com
Low Low profile chasis motorhome
This flagship Rapido model is based on the Mercedes Sprinter chassis (very rare) with the fantastic Mercedes 3.
THE most practical RV layout ever on the market with four slide out rooms, full cream leather interior and light oak cabinetry creates even greater feeling of space.
One of the best build qualities in the industry including aluminium sandwich construction, deep double floor and front electric thermo windscreen blind make this motorhome fully winterised.
At CaravanTimes we recently had a Benimar Tessoro 483 on test for a couple of weeks. We have done just over 2000 miles in the Tessoro and tested in various ways - as you will find out in our inspiration features coming up. But before we give you some ideas of where and why you should use a motorhome like the Tessoro we wanted to bring some information on the Tessoro range and the very interesting 483.
So as most of our readers will know, the CaravanTimes team were lucky enough to be part of Bailey of Bristols, Bristol to the Bosphoros trip. Travelling 21 countries in 21 days the team did a fantastic job to take the 2 caravans and motorhome cross-continental.
Plans for a 70 pitch caravan park in Essex have been rejected by the local council for a second time.

Greetings. For those who've noticed, I'm a little behind on my posts for Reverb11. This is because I'm changing the way I respond to the prompts and keeping the results to myself. I find that the longer I participate, the deeper and more personal my posts become. Being a rather private and somewhat shy person (yes, it's true), baring my soul to the world on a daily basis is a bit more than I can handle right now.
So! Even though I won't write about it anymore, I'm still a participant. This project has definitely given me a clearer picture of 2011 and increased my awareness of 2012. Not in a "I have to make these resolutions work" kind of way, but more like "these are the things I will achieve." Feel me?
I'd like to say a huge thanks to Carolyn Rubenstein and Tiffany Moore for hosting this reflection course, and also to my fellow bloggers who have shared their experiences one post at a time.

In the News and On the Air: A Time for Patience
"Americans are impatient."
U.S. Ambassador Ronald Neumann was in Kabul, speaking about the reconstruction of Afghanistan and the long-running war against the Taliban.
He told Morning Edition's Renee Montagne, "We've achieved a lot because we're impatient, but impatience is also what leads a child to walk away from a complicated project and leave it half-done. We've got to choose maturing patience."
Five years after the start of the fighting, Americans may not be the only ones "impatient" over Afghanistan.
A former top British soldier, Field Marshal Sir Peter Inge, was quoted by the Observer newspaper saying, "I don't believe we have a clear strategy in either Afghanistan or Iraq."
An American diplomat sounded impatient over Iraq when he declared that the United States has acted with "arrogance and stupidity."
Alberto Fernandez now says he "seriously misspoke."
He was speaking in Arabic on the news channel al-Jazeera, which is part of his job: he's involved in public diplomacy, improving the U.S. image abroad.
When his comments were translated back into English, officials first suggested there had been a mistake.
But viewers in Baghdad included NPR's Jamie Tarabay, an Arabic speaker who tells us that Ambassador Fernandez' comment was not scrambled. He really said it.
The debate over Iraq has scrambled American politics, according to NPR's Cokie Roberts.
Democrats have a chance to win Congress this fall largely because of discontent over Iraq, but if they win, it will be "impossible" for them to govern effectively, because "they will not have won on something that is party-building."
Republicans, she says, also blew their opportunity to campaign on something positive.
In this midst of this campaign, Sen. Barack Obama sent a signal about the next campaign -- for the Presidency in 2008.
"I have thought about it."
The Illinois Democrat was speaking to NBC about running for President.
In an interview with NPR's Michele Norris last week, Obama said he is "constantly asking" himself if he could "be useful" in higher office.
The political celebrity added that he has been at "serious risk of overexposure for the last two years."
If he thinks he was overexposed before, just wait.

New Music: M.I.A. 'Unbreak My Mixtape'
M.I.A.'s eagerly-awaited Matangi album doesn't drop until November 5 but the hip-hop goddess took pity on fans and uploaded "Unbreak My Mixtape" yesterday afternoon (August 20) to help quench our thirst for new material. There's no word yet if the quirky Dear John letter set to music made the LP or is just a discarded demo but it's still well worth checking out.
Maya muses on her confused state of mind, singing "here's a mixtape that I made, let's take a break" over a beat that sample Blur's 1999 single "Tender". It sounds vaguely unfinished but that could be the whole point. Listen to M.I.A.'s latest multi-layered musical odyssey after the jump.

Emotional Labor
There are many stressors in the workplace that affect employees. Emotional stressors are no different. As our economy has moved from a manufacturing to a service-based economy, there are many more workers in a variety of occupational fields that are expected to manage their emotions according to employer demands. Emotional labor refers to a form of emotion regulation that creates a publicly visible facial and bodily display within the workplace. The increasing prevalence of this type of work introduces a new set of stressors in the workplace.
In your initial post

Re: Lead Scoringc6fe4157a09046ef23765b5a25ee62162c11732c Apr 2, 2018 12:00 PM (in response to Mark McGourty)
The advantages of the gloabl level is that they are all in one place and easy to update. You never have to go searching through your marketing campaigns for a rogue lead score update. It's easy to use a token to make sure actions are counted equally.
I think the advantage of the local level is it's easier to manage conceptually, in that you say when this thing happens I want this to happen. For example, when a lead fills out a contact form, you send a response email, send an alert to the sales team, change the program success, edit the lead score, change the lead stage, etc. It can be easier to manage and keep on top of that way. It's also easier to assign different values to different programs, even if the activities are similar (for example one content download being more valuable than the other).
I personally do it at the global level because it's easier to see all of the lead scoring operations in the same place.
Re: Lead ScoringJason Alford May 1, 2018 9:03 AM (in response to Mark McGourty)
We did it at a local level because our regions were just so different we thought it would be difficult to find a scoring that worked for everybody. Plus we had a sense of each region owned their regional instances with us for assistance overseeing everything.
Re: Lead ScoringNina Khalil Jun 13, 2018 10:41 AM (in response to Mark McGourty)
I executed this at the global level for common scoring items and have customized it per [local] subsidiary. This way, actions are consolidated where applicable, but when unique, it is tailored according to the subs needs. Also, when needs change for a subsidiary, we will collaborate and I can adjust the model accordingly.

|The Fork's Tale, as narrated by
Itself (2013)
Both a site-specific intervention into the Museum of Archaeology & Anthropology, University of Cambridge, and a stand-alone artwork, The Fork's Tale, as narrated by Itself is the story of the relationship between collections, collectors and the collected written from the point of view of a nineteenth century Fijian cannibal fork adn forms the final artwork of the Arts & Humanities Research Council funded fellowship.
An artist's book serialised over 12 months published in chapters each month, beginning the 15th January and ending the 15th December 2013, echoing a nineteenth century paradigm in publishing by authors such as Charles Dickens and Wilkie Collins. Published by LemonMelon
The chapters also include drawings from the point of view of the 'cannibal fork'.
The cannibal forks in the Museum's collection are the oldest in the world. Nevertheless they are highly contested artefacts. On the one hand they are understood to be material proof of past savagery, on the other, many are known to have been made specifically for an early tourist trade in native curios and have never touched flesh, let alone human flesh.
In the context of the University of Cambridge, knowledge, truth, big ideas are understood as properly the realm of science, philosophy and history. The role of art is not to produce knowledge, as such, but to describe emotions as an act of self-expression or a moment of beauty.
'The Fork's Tale, as narrated by Itself', written from the point of view of a nineteenth century Fijian 'cannibal fork' in the collection of the Museum of Archaeology & Anthropology, is an artwork and novelistic exploration of the idea of fact and facticity. At its most basic reading, the novel is an exploration of the various historical facts surrounding these highly contested objects and the passionately contested histories of cannibalism in the south Pacific.
Were they ever used in cannibal feasting or are the forks an everyday object to which gruesome narratives of the horror of cannibalism were attached through contact with Europeans fascinated by these stories? Or were the 'cannibal forks' simply manufactured by both entrepreneurial Fijian and European beachcombers wanting to capitalize on the emergent tourist market by creating tourist curios? Indeed, was cannibalism (anthropophagy) ever even performed in Fiji or are tales of cannibal feasting the product of a racist colonial imaginary?
Overlaid on this historical, political and ideological contestation of fact is the types of fact that are the focus of other disciplinary analysis. For example, the fork experiences the difficulty in knowing from experience, empirically, phenomenologically, through sensation and senses. When is experience a fact? When does empirical and phenomenological experience create 'facts'? The fork reflects on the difficulty in knowing or experiencing 'facts' (reality?) when also experiencing psychological facts, such as longing. Written and published one month at a time for 12 months throughout 2013, The Fork's Tale also explores the fact of time passing, the occurrence of exogenous events and how this effects internal knowledge and meaning-making.
This intervention in the context of University of Cambridge is the assertion that art is a knowledge-forming discipline that can productively bring together and add to the knowledges created by history, philosophy, politics, anthropology (etc).

|Tall Stories: Cannibal Forks
In 2010, 'Tall Stories: Cannibal Forks' was shown as a site-specific intervention into the then current displays of Fijian artefacts at Museum of Archaeology & Anthropology, University of Cambridge. It was later displayed as an 'autonomous' artwork, part of the Gifts and Discoveries exhibition in 2012.
Panel Text
Part of a research fellowship funded by the Arts & Humanities Research Council with the Museum of Archaeology & Anthropology, University of Cambridge, investigating the relationship between collections, collectors and the collected.
Tall Stories : Cannibal Forks was an attempt to collapse the categories of collections, collectors and the collected, so that collectors became the collected as part of the museum's collection.
|Inspiration for the artwork happened while I was pawing some
elegant forms made from wood from the museum's collections, admiring
their shape and the skill involved in creating them. It was a
turning point in my research project. The aretacts were being
photographed by Mark Adams in my office. Eventually I asked what
they were. He said, 'cannibal forks'.
I sought out more information because they didn't make sense to me as a shape. Most seemed unlikely or impossible as functional forks, especially the type of fork that goes into the mouth.
I was told a range of stories from hair-raising missionary tales of Fijian sadism and barbarity to an idea current in anthropological circles that few if any of these were made for the purposes of cannibal feasting. Many, perhaps all, were made in response to 19th century tourists like misionaries and early ethnologists.
15 September 2010 - October 31 2010
The original instantiation of the artwork is an 8min video shown on an old imac of a group of people's hands carving a cannibal fork from tree branch to decorated object accompanied by an audio track of the various knowledges and stories held by staff from the Museum and the newly crafted cannibal forks.
These were shown next to the display of Fijian artefacts including 3 'cannibal forks' labeled simply as
Cannibal Forks
used by High Chiefs and Priests
19C Fiji
Colleagues from across the museum were invited to participate in creating their own cannibal fork, including front of house staff, technicians, curators, research assistants, educators. Cannibal forks were carved using traditional European green wood working skills and using native woods (lime, sycamore). These new cannibal forks were later accessioned as part of the museum's permanent collection.

|not praising,
burying (2012)
Performed on 12 November 2012 by an invited group of artists, archaeologists, art educators, philosophers in order to interrogate the idea of Greek pottery as art and the idea of Greek artefacts as the pinnacle or origins of artistic practices as we understand them today.
Part of a research fellowship funded by the Arts & Humanities Research Council with the Museum of Archaeology & Anthropology, University of Cambridge, investigating the relationship between collections, collectors and the collected.
Staged at the Fitzwilliam Museum, University of Cambridge, and boasting a neo-Classical facade and homage to the Parthenon freize, the museum's classical collection contains artefacts, including ancient Greek pottery. Like much of Cambridge University until recently, the Fitzwilliam Museum embodied and perpetuated the idea that classical Greece and Rome were the pinnacle of Civilisation, producing High Culture and the origins of High Art.
Not Praising, Burying :
The Rules
1. Everyday, throw-away, low-value vessels must first be prepared with a ground (surface primer) the colour of clay.
2. Low-value, throw-away vessels painted to appear like clay must then be decorated using the colours used by ancient Greek potters.
3. Painted decorative elements of the vessels must be in the style of ancient Greek red-figure or black-figure ceramics.
4. Representational elements must be translated into contemporary terms.
The Premises
1. That the ideas presented by Vickers and Gill in Artful Crafts (1994) are largely correct, and specifically:
a. that ancient Greek ceramics were not made as high art objects,
b. ceramicists were a low-status group and not artists in any contemporary understanding of the term,
c. ancient Greek red-figure and black-figure pots were skeuomorphs
of metallic objects.
black = oxidised silver
red = gold
deep red = bronze
white = ivory
2. That equivalents exist in contemporary (Western) cultures of most instances of (existing) ancient Greek material culture. There is a significant difference between a translation and an equivalent.
Neoclassicism is one type of translation, as is any diasporic or anachronistic reference to the styles associated with classical Greece.
3. That ancient Greek ceramics depict three types of contemporary subject. There is a significant difference between a contemporary understanding of Classical cultures and a then- contemporary understanding of a lived culture.

|cannibal forking: an experiment
in distributed protocol (2010-12)
Participants are invited to carve their own cannibal fork using traditional skills and English native woods in a self-conscious act of repetition: repeating the act of creating the myths and objects that embody the myths surrounding so-called cannibal forks.
Participants are encouraged to pass on the skills and knowledge required to make further cannibal forks. They are also encouraged to contribute to the Museum's collection of 'cannibal forks'. Many participants donated their cannibal forks to the Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology, University of Cambridge. They have been accessioned.
First experiment in distributed protocol, 'Cannibal Forking', occurred on 25 September 2010 at 'The Field'.
Then at the following venues:
Chinese University Hong Kong, 12 November 2010
Museum of Archaeology & Anthropology, University of Cambridge, 29 October 2011
The Project Space, London 'again : on repetition an informal symposium on repetition in practice', 28 November 2011
Bodger's Ball 2012, nr Axminster, Devon, 12 May 2012
*NB The making of cannibal forks may or may not predispose a participant towards cannibalism.
The concept of a distributed protocol is borrowed from the internet. My understanding is that a distributed protocol is a method of networking and distributing information. This interpretation could be wrong but I was playing with the idea of distributed (dis)information and networks.
cannibal forking : an experiment in distributed protocol was an intervention into the idea that people not marked as 'ethnic' or 'indigenous' (that is, white middle class Europeans) could make artefacts collected by a museum devoted to collecting authentic indigenous artefacts.

|The Archaeological Story
according to BLACCXN (2009)
23 October 2009 - March 2010
Museum of Archaeology & Anthropology, University of Cambridge
One of the real world incarnations of the BLACCXN project.
BLACCXN had the opportunity of sponsoring the archaeology gallery before it was updated in 2013. The BLACCXN intervention highlighted the racist subtext behind the 30 year old archaeology display and linked it with neo-liberalism.
The Private View happened on Thursday 22 October 2009. Timed to intervene into The Cambridge Festival of Ideas and Darwin's 200 year anniversary celebrations, it included a presentation by the BLACCXN PR guru.
Part of a research fellowship funded by the Arts & Humanities Research Council with the Museum of Archaeology & Anthropology, University of Cambridge, investigating the relationship between collections, collectors and the collected, The Archaeological Story according to BLACCXN was the first in a series of 5 artworks that were the product of the research fellowship. The Archaeological Story according to BLACCXN aimed at investigating a relationship between sponsorship, museums display and interpretation.
Until 2010, the Clarke Hall occupied the entire ground floor of Museum of Archaeology & Anthropology, University of Cambridge and was devoted to archaeology. The 30 year old display told an already philosophically and archaeologically out-dated story of human evolution and progress, celebrating a particularly insidious version of human evolutionary theory. Starting with pre-human hominids, it took the visitor on a journey from the paleolithic and neolithic, through to the bronze age, iron age and Romans, culminating in 18th century Cambridge as the pinnacle of evolution. Contemporary cultures were slotted into the 'story of human evolution' so that, for example, contemporary Australian Aboriginal people and their artefacts were elided with the paleolithic era as 'primitive survivals'.
For this intervention, a new series of interpretative text labels were added to the existing display. Nothing was altered in the existing display.
The labels were made of box ply wood in order to blend into the aesthetics of the display.
The entire series of BLACCXN labels can be seen as a wordpress blog so that feedback could be recorded.
A comments book was also available for the duration of the intervention. It was well used.
It is important to note that although this intervention proved very controversial with both the public and the archaeology department (at least one archaeologist walked out of the private view), I was free to make the kind of work I felt the opportunity demanded.
I have experienced an amount of censorship in my career but my mentor and boss, Prof Nicholas Thomas, maintained my right to artistic and academic freedom throughout the fellowship.

|europe the game (2002-3)
Priory Meadow Shopping Centre, Hastings
'Points of View' Hastings Museum and Art Gallery curated by Maud Belleguic and Judith Stewart
Originally a museum-based exhibition, I decided to take 'europe the game' with all its particular political resonances in the local setting to the main shopping centre.
This is not something I will ever repeat. Although there was some engagement in the artwork with those in the shopping centre, it was a great struggle for art, even interactive art, to compete with the shopping experience.
|europe the game

|Capital Growth (2009)
On 1st May 2009, Mayday, 6 birds eye view oil paintings of various locations of capital growth were placed in 6 physical locations that have seen an increase in the growth of privatisation or corporate sponsorship.
London Stock Exchange was taken to Tate Modern (boardroom) and left for art lovers, passers-by or the police.
London Metals Exchange was taken to the Ministry of Defence (trading floor) where filming took place by someone who apparently worked there. Like all other paintings in the Mayday intervention, it was left for art lovers, passers-by or the MoD.
Lloyds of London was taken to the Science Museum, London (original interior or public area).
London Stock Exchange was taken to Canary Wharf, the main centre of London banking outside The City of London (computer hub)
BLACCXN was taken to the site for the London 2012 Olympics (boardroom)
London Stock Exchange was taken to the Unilever Centre for Molecular Science Informatics Building, University of Cambridge (public foyer)
All parts of the paintings, which were in 60 x 60cm parts, were signed on the back with my name and a contact email so it would not be misconstrued as an anonymous act.

|Detail: an intervention into
authenticity (2005)
Jim Thompson House, Bangkok, Thailand
'Interweaving Cultures' curated by Gridthiya Gaweewong (Th), Sachiko Namba (Jp), Ann Coxon (GB)
More images of Detail
Jim Thompson House, a museum dedicated to preserving and displaying the authentic in Thai culture, was the home of the US silk entrepreneur, Jim Thompson who disappeared in myserious circumstances in 1967.
The museum is now filled with Thai antiques and is itself an amalgam of 6 traditional Thai teak-built houses situated in the middle of contemporary modernist Bangkok.
Across the river is a small community of silk weavers who used to produce silk for the Jim Thompson silk company. The Ban Krua are Muslim, a religion that is sometimes portrayed as not authentically Thai.
24 small paintings on the back of canvases, measuring 20 x 20cm2, stretched with Jim Thompson™ silk were displayed throughout the museum as a site-specific intervention into steroetypical notions of authenticity as promoted by the museum.
Each of the 24 paintings were from photographs taken by members of the Ban Krua community of aspects of their daily life. These included local parks, mops, buckets, shoes in racks outside people's homes, and the local Madrassa.
After exhibition, the intention was to give the people who had taken the photos the paintings.
After 6 weeks on exhibition, the intervention was censored and paintings were moved to the 'neutral' space of the adjacent gallery. No documentation was allowed to be seen or refered to again in any future press. It was as if the original intervention never existed.

|Trickle Down + (2005)
Jim Thompson House Gallery, Bangkok, Thailand
'Interweaving Cultures' curated by Gridthiya Gaweewong (Th), Sachiko Namba (Jp), Ann Coxon (GB)
Before making artwork for 'Interweaving Cultures', the artists who were not from a Thai background were invited to visit Bangkok, the Jim Thompson House and Museum, and the silk factory on a research trip. On the basis of this research trip, I came to understand 'trickle down' economics in a new light. It was abundantly clear that foreign currency wealth, including both aid and investment, did not touch the majority of local people, who live in a completely different economy.
Trickle Down + is a game, based on shuffle puzzles. At first glance all the pieces appear to move around the board with freedom and ease. On playing the game it becomes apparent that some of the pieces, those with non-Thai global currency symbols, only flow in a few directions and some don't move at all.
|After 'Trickle Down +'
A smaller portable version, an 'autonomous' art object, was also produced for the exhibition and was given away during its run.
It was later given away with copies of Ohm's Law (2007), the novel written in response to this experience of globalisation, global capitalism and trickle down failure.
