I have few problem with Dlookup condition. I need to retrieve next record or previous record based on certain condition. The conditions are set in in the combo box. Here, I am trying to display the records in the text box based on my selection. I have given my selection in the combo box.
a). Who are all coming from "Newyork" city in the 7th standard class.
The fields are City,DtofBirth,Grade in the student table. All these THREE fields are listed each in combo boxes. When i select each combox box, the respective records should display in the text boxes. Assume that there are 10 row in the form. The each row contains 5 text boxes namely Stud_Name,Stud_Eno, Stud_City,Stud_DOB & Stud_Grade.
I have used below Dlookup function in the text box. Assume that the fields types are number.
a). The first problem is that it display the records irrelevantly for few condition, like when i change the city from "Newyork to Texas" it shows irrelevant records.
b). The 2nd record doesn't display in the next text box. It display in the 3rd text box. The 2nd textbox is showing empty.
c). When the form load, the text boxes shows "#Error" as no values selected in the combo boxes - How can I avoid this error message.
What is the problem over here..? ..Is there anything wrong in the way i try to display the records. Is there anyother way to do like this...?
I guess since the records are stored randomly it gives the problem. But, no other way as the record will be stores always random only.
I have spent more time for this. But, not able to find out the solutions.
I WOULD BE VERY HAPPY if anyone helps me to find solutions.
Your solution would be HIGHLY APPRECIATED.

i'm feeling a very strong urge again to pack my bags and just head out wherever and whenever! someone, please, stop me!
the strong feeling is at its peak really. maybe because summer's about to end and the closest thing i did which involved swimming was night swimming on a pool a couple of months back. i miss philippines. boy, summers were always something to look forward to! be it the simple pleasures of snorkeling or island hopping, the beach feels like it was just around the corner.
it was always a yearly thing. heck, we do it all-year round even! and i wasn't exactly ready to let that tradition go. and this year, something new - it feels like i've totally skipped out on summer. i feel like a loser staring out pictures of white sand beaches and looking at escapade promos, mentally picturing myself out there somewhere, and waiting for airline sales to dream destinations. doing all those things yet knowing, it ain't happening now. torturing myself, much, haven't i?
time to turn on the positivity switch. i should really get my travel go-to list finished. there's a whole big unexplored world out there - calling out my name. and when the time comes to travel (soon i hope, positive vibes!!!), just close my eyes and do an eenie-meenie-minie-moe!

HOW CAN WE SAVE THE EVERGLADES?
In 2000, Congress passed the 30-year Comprehensive Everglades Restoration Plan (CERP) to restore, protect and preserve 18,000 square miles of land over 16 Florida counties. The Everglades Foundation worked with nearly two-dozen other private and public organizations to identify the essential goals in working towards fulfilling CERP’s promise.
Among these are improving and protecting water quality, providing water storage needs and restoring the historic water flow from Lake Okeechobee to the Everglades.
“We need to clean the water, take out the fertilizer and build marshes that are designed to clean the water as it flows south,” says Dr. Tom Van Lent, senior scientist at the Everglades Foundation.
In December 2007, the South Florida Water Management District took another major step by voting to buy up to 180,000 acres of land from U.S. Sugar Corp. The land will be used to clean and store water. The current proposal to purchase this property encompasses 73,000 acres with an option to buy the rest at a later date.
In announcing the original plan, Florida Gov. Charlie Crist praised the Foundation and its allies for their ongoing commitment to save the natural wonder that is the Everglades. “Their role could not be overstated,” Crist said. “It was incredibly significant and terribly important all along the way, giving me advice…I’m enormously grateful to the environmental community. Without them we wouldn’t be here today.” But while the U.S. Sugar Corp. plan represents a giant step forward for Everglades restoration, it is not a cure-all.
The Tamiami Trail, which links Miami and Tampa, is one of those dams, and steps are being taken to alleviate that problem. In December 2009, an $81 million project to replace a mile-long stretch of the Trail broke ground. The bridge, to be constructed about a mile west of Krome Avenue, will allow water to flow freely into Everglades National Park for the first time since the Trail was constructed in the 1920s. Also moving ahead is the C-111 N. Spreader Canal project, which will correct the flow of fresh water to Florida Bay.
“We need to restore the function of the Everglades, so when it gets dry, we still are able to manage water resources effectively to satisfy the needs of man and nature,” says Van Lent.

If you know anything about ProofPilot, you know we’re about more than data. ProofPilot study tasks might be rewards, informational givebacks, or even interventions.
But, data collection remains an integral part of ProofPilot. Previously collected data trigger later tasks. That previously collected data could be participant self-report. It could be pooled from external data sources or connected health devices. Or, it could be submitted by a study professional.
Now, you can trigger activation and expiration criteria based on calculated data.
Let’s say you only want participants in your study with a BMI over 25. How many people can accurately report their BMI? Not many. You could ask people to run the calculation themselves. A professional could do the calculation with the participant during a study visit. Both are inefficient to the point of being impractical for most studies.
With data calculations, you can ask a series of questions most participants do know. You add two items to your eligibility questionnaire: What’s your weight? What’s your height? And then use ProofPilot’s new data calculation feature.
ProofPilot records the resulting data just like any other collected data element. So, you can use them in eligibility criteria, arm assignment criteria, survey skip patterns, and activation and expiration rules. Every collected data element is also available in your data for reporting and analysis.
Note how the dropdown that is filled with “Calculate BMI.” You must associate each calculated data element with an existing assessment or survey.
How Do You add Calculated Data Elements?
We intend to make various usability updates to calculated data elements in the near future. However, the feature is available for those who are willing to dig a bit and deal with a user experience that might not be to typical ProofPilot standards.
All calculated elements in each study are created on one page. You can access this page under the activation rule wizard in each task activation and expiration criteria.
all numerical questions now include the option of adding a minimum or maximum value.
All study e-mail messages come from the study primary investigator. In the past, notifications came from “New ProofPilot Task.” This change makes the study seem more personal and will improve engagement.
Minor usability updates to task intro page. A participant can now click on the image or title/subtitle to begin the task.

Ringside Intel brings you a recap and results for tonight’s WWE Monday Night Raw (2/18/2019) broadcast. Pre-show starts at 7:50 pm EST and the main show at 8 pm EST. Time for the fallout after last night’s Elimination Chamber pay-per-view. Tweet and follow @RingsideIntel on Twitter.
Show opens up and Triple H comes out to the ring. He starts trying to put over the upcoming WrestleMania show and also recounts the events from last night’s Elimination Chamber. When he remembers Kofi Kingston’s performance, the crowd chants Kofi’s name. H also points out that, despite Becky Lynch’s appearance being “pretty damn cool”, she will be arrested and prosecuted for disregarding her suspension. Then Triple H reveals that some of the top NXT stars will be making their Raw debuts tonight. Also, Braun Strowman and Baron Corbin will compete in a Tables Match, which will take place right now.
They are four of the BEST performers in @WWENXT, and they will be making their #RAW debuts TONIGHT!
Strowman has his ribs taped up after Corbin, Bobby Lashley and Drew McIntyre ganged up on him last night. Corbin has considerable success, capitalizing on Strowman’s injury, but Strowman ends up putting Corbin through a table with a Running Powerslam.
As Strowman is heading to the back, he runs into Paul Heyman on the main stage. He grabs Heyman by the scruff and intimidates him a little bit before finally taking his leave.
Paul Heyman goes to the ring and cuts a promo extolling the virtues of his client The Beast Brock Lesnar.
New Intercontinental Champion Finn Balor comes out to the ring. He starts cutting a promo but then Lio Rush comes out to interrupt him. Rush tells him he doesn’t deserve to be IC Champ. Then Bobby Lashley attacks Balor from behind and he and Rush beat down the new champ before Ricochet comes out to the rescue.
This match was made during the break. Ricochet ends up securing victory for his team, hitting the 630 on Rush.
Lucha House Party picks up the win after Hawkins is pinned, as usual.
Heavy Machinery is interviewed on the main stage but Lacey Evans’ music hits and she comes out to join them. She walks down the aisle, strutting her stuff, and then back up again. Then Heavy Machinery does a strut of their own down the aisle and back again.
Ciampa & Gargano pick up the win over the champs in their big show debut.
Inaugural Women’s Tag Team Champions The Boss’n’Hug Connection come out to the ring to cut a promo. As they’re about to leave, Nia Jax & Tamina come out to the main stage. Jax tells the champs that no one wants to listen to their pointless love-fest. Things almost come to a head and they sort of start to scrap but it ends suddenly and the segment is wrapped up.
McIntyre makes short work of Ambrose.
Black nails Elias with the Black Mass for the 3-count.
The two go back and forth and Ruby gets a number of near-falls. Rousey keeps managing to just barely get her shoulder up. Ruby even connects with a Riott Kick, but Rousey kicks out. Ruby goes to the top rope and leaps off to finish it. Rousey transitions into the Armbar, and the Riott Squad pulls their teammate to safety. Rousey jumps off the top rope out onto all three of them. Back in the ring and Rousey locks on the Armbar and forces Ruby to tap out.
After the match, the Riott Squad tries to attack Rousey but she fights them off as the show comes to a close.

THE Victorian Government last week unveiled the Flora and Fauna Guarantee Amendment Bill 2018 to modernise and strengthen the existing Act, which has been in place for nearly 30 years and no longer reflects current conservation knowledge and approaches to regulation.
Improve enforcement powers and penalties for all offences.
The government said that community consultation, which was central to shaping the Bill, occurred in 2017 and attracted 210 submissions.

The Bill, which was a key election commitment, aligns with other major biodiversity initiatives being delivered by the State Government, including a biodiversity plan over 20 years and a review of the native vegetation clearing regulations.
To implement the changes, the State Government has invested $86.3 million for the Biodiversity Plan, including $2.5 million to review the Flora and Fauna Guarantee Act and implement the reforms it introduces.

Sweden adopted the unpopular "right-hand traffic diversion," still known as H dagen on September 3, 1967.
On this date in 1967, after years of resistance, Sweden experienced the unpopular "H DAY" - still known as Högertrafikomläggningen" ("The right-hand traffic diversion") - when traffic switched from driving on the left side of the road to the right. Psychologists recommended a 4-year campaign to promote it, which even included "Dagen H" commemorative underwear and a song contest (the winner was Håll dig till höger, Svensson - "Keep to the right, Svensson" by The Telstars).
Drivers and pedestrians alike took months to navigate the change in traffic patterns from driving on the left to driving on the right side of the road in Sweden.

As China and the West race for 5G dominance, two digital powers with very different approaches to technology are staking out their corners. One side, championed in China, is a digital landscape where mobile payments have replaced cash. Smartphones are the devices that matter, and users can shop, chat, bank and surf the web with one app. The downsides: The government reigns absolute, and it is watching—you may have to communicate with friends in code. And don’t expect to access Google or Facebook. On the other side, in much of the world, the internet is open to all. Users can say what they want, mostly, and web developers can roll out pretty much anything. People accustomed to China’s version complain this other internet can seem clunky. You must toggle among apps to chat, shop, bank and surf the web. Some websites still don’t seem to be designed with smartphones in mind.
High-speed internet is not really available where the government says it is. And that misinformation means that a lot of Americans, especially those in poor and rural areas, can’t get access to broadband — a service that is becoming more and more integral to daily life in the US. “Currently in the US, the focus is upon physical infrastructure, not upon people choosing to subscribe or being able to subscribe,” said Angela Siefer, executive director of the National Digital Inclusion Alliance, a nonprofit advocating for national broadband access. Broadband usage data from Microsoft — which was released late in 2018 and is based on anonymous data the company collected on how fast its products were actually being used and updated — paints a much bleaker picture. Microsoft’s data says 163 million people don’t use high-speed internet in the US, while the Federal Communications Commission estimates that it’s not available to 25 million Americans. That’s a difference of 138 million people — more than a third of the US population.
In 1996, Congress required incumbent local exchange carriers (ILECs) to unbundle and resell portions of their networks to upstart companies at discounted and government-set rates. These network-sharing rules applied exclusively to ILECs in an era before there was substantial competition from facilities-based rivals. Twenty-three years later that expected competition is here. (ILEC’s share of residential local voice markets fell from nearly 100 percent to only 11 percent of US households by the end of 2018.) Yet, these old-school regulations remain in place. USTelecom has petitioned the Federal Communications Commission to phase out these outdated unbundling and resale requirements on providers, in favor of allowing the competitive and dynamic marketplace to set terms, a change that will reduce costs for consumers, create jobs and unlock new investment. If we are to meet the communications needs of this and future generations with the world’s most reliable broadband infrastructure, regulations and incentives must keep up with the lightning speed of technology and innovation.
AT&T is touting its ability to achieve 1.5 Gbps in a field test using its commercial 5G network at the same time it’s defending its use of the “5G E” moniker on phones. "[W]e’re the only company in the U.S. that can test the latest updates in real time on a standards based 5G commercial mobile network," wrote Gordon Mansfield, AT&T's VP of converged access and device design.
More details have emerged from the Vice investigation into carriers selling their customers’ real-time location data, including assisted GPS (“A-GPS”) data intended only for emergency services. The reports are shocking and illustrate both a brazen disregard for consumer privacy on the part of the companies involved and the disturbing, unregulated behavior of the data brokerage industry. The Federal Communications Commission, led by Chairman Ajit Pai, needs to act immediately to enforce what appears to be a clear violation of the FCC’s rules against the selling of A-GPS data with third parties. In addition, Congress must pass comprehensive privacy legislation that forces the data broker industry out of the shadows and stops the persistent misuse of data at the expense of consumer privacy.
Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) joined the 2020 Democratic race, separating herself from the pack by talking up her efforts to take on big tech. “We need to put some digital rules into law when it comes to people’s privacy. For too long the big tech companies have been telling you ‘Don’t worry! We’ve got your back!’ while your identities are being stolen and your data is mined,” she said during her launch. “Our laws need to be as sophisticated as the people who are breaking them.” Sen. Klobuchar has made the oversight of big tech one of her banner issues in Congress. She’s scrutinized Facebook, Google, and Twitter as they’ve been forced to explain their policies on privacy and political advertising. She wants to make it harder for big companies to buy or merge with smaller companies.
The Federal Communications Commission appoints FCC Commissioner Geoffrey Starks to serve on the Federal-State Joint Board on Jurisdictional Separations and the Federal-State Joint Board on Universal Service. In addition, Commissioner Starks becomes a member of the Federal-State Joint Conference on Advanced Services by virtue of his position on the FCC.

Using these new public datasets in BigQuery is a great way to understand air quality in your community.
Take a deep breath: The average person takes between 17,000 and 23,000 breaths a day. But how often do you breathe in poor quality air? Do you know if the air in your town is clean?
Where are the global hotspots for poor air quality right now?
How does one city compare to others?
Let’s take a deeper dive on a couple of these by charting them in Data Studio. First, where are the global hotspots for poor air quality right now (using concentrations of PM10: Particulate Matter with a size of 10 micrometers or less)?
Answer: Hualpén, Chile and 2 locations in Turkey currently have the highest concentrations of PM10.
Zooming the dashboard in on Europe, we can see how cities compare (and we can infer that we don’t yet have data in some places).
You can also see an interactive map on the OpenAQ website.
Which states have the cleanest air?
Is my city’s air quality getting better or worse over time?
In 2015, which states had the cleanest air (in terms of least concentration of PM2.5)?
Montana had the lowest PM2.5 concentrations. 2015 is the last year for which we have an entire year of data, but the trend in 2016 looks similar.
Let’s look at PM10 concentrations to see if the air quality in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania is getting better or worse over time.
It’s getting better! You can replace the city/state name with your location and use the query below in BigQuery. For smaller areas, you can leverage the city, county, or cbsa_name fields (or you can always use latitude/longitude).
AND sample_duration = "24 HOUR"
Making air quality data available is one more way that Google organizes the world’s information and makes it universally accessible and useful. But we hope that you try these datasets (EPA, OpenAQ) out for yourself and learn something about your own community. If your area doesn’t have any data available, work with your local leaders to publish or share this information. You can even contribute data or code to the OpenAQ open-source project.
We’d love to hear how you're using air quality metrics to make an impact! Share your success on Reddit or by telling us at gcp-public-data@google.com.
If you’d like to learn more about OpenAQ, check out their blog. For more on EPA national standards, see their standards overview.
1 While we update the dataset in BigQuery hourly, the individual locations may send updates less frequently. We display the latest information we have.

If you’ve read my bio, you know that my wife and I have been “happily married for seventeen out of eighteen years.” We had a major crisis around year seven—a miscarriage—that led to about a year of really painful struggle and disconnect. On the anniversary of our miscarriage, almost to the day, we looked at each other and realized that our relationship was on the brink. We were zombie roommates, totally disconnected from one another after nearly a year of ignoring the trauma and pretending we were OK.
Sometimes, despite our best intentions in life and love, something goes wrong. Something terrible that tears at the very fabric of the relationship as a whole. The most stable relationships are based on a strong attachment to one another, and when a crisis renders that relationship unstable, it’s called an attachment injury. This can show up in many ways: an affair, a miscarriage, an addiction, a death, or a diagnosis. (Think: cancer, depression, or ALS.) No relationship is immune.
But that doesn’t mean that no relationship is safe. If you’ve experienced (or are experiencing) a catastrophic shift, now more than ever is the time to be intentional. The good news is that there are things you can do before, during, and after the crisis to help mitigate its impact.
It’s really no different than preparing for any other emergency. You need to make sure that your first aid kit is stocked and accessible and that you have all your important phone numbers in a safe place. The first aid kit should be filled both theoretically and practically.
As a first step to protecting yourself and one another, be sure to load up the relationship with good will and fundamental regard. This is a simple but sustained effort to look for and notice (out loud) the many positive qualities about your partner and your relationship. Prioritize gratitude and make a habit of saying thank you. By front-loading the relationship with positive sentiment, you can buffer the pain of a major negative event. In some cases you can even prevent it. Relationships with high-level trust and commitment are less subject to betrayal and external stress.
Practically, I think it’s a good idea to build your outside collection of helpers sooner rather than later. In a previous column I spoke of the power of community, but go ahead and hire some professionals as well. Build a relationship with a therapist you trust. In a perfect world, you each have your own therapist, and you have a couples therapist as well. (I actually think the best argument for premarital therapy is simply to build rapport with someone who can be of help to you when the going gets tough.) You should also seek out a financial adviser or coach you can rely on for good counsel. Can’t hurt to have a good dentist, a general practitioner, an OB-GYN. Also a mechanic. And a handyman. It may sound weird, but if one of you becomes unexpectedly unable to do the things they once did, these trusted helpers will be lifesavers, quite literally. Finally, ask your wisest friends for a good referral for an estate lawyer, or check out GYST.com. In the worst case, even goodwill isn’t a substitute for a good will.
Turn toward each other. It is also critical that in the wake of a traumatic event, you continue to turn toward each other even, and especially, in the small day-to-day moments. Now is the time when it’s easier than ever to pull away, but resist this. You may need to increase the frequency, duration, and nature of your daily contact. Go ahead and send that extra affirming text message. Linger a little longer at the dinner table. These efforts are the beginning of creating a new contract with one another. By recognizing that whatever you had before is now fundamentally gone, you can grieve the loss and begin establishing the foundation for what your relationship will become. Again, ask for help. Friends and family are a great place to start. But don’t underestimate the power of a professional therapist, if only for a short time. I hear a lot of people say they can’t afford to go to therapy. I usually ask, “Can you afford not to?” Minimally, you need to find ways to prioritize the relationship during this critical time when it is most fragile.
In the aftermath of a catastrophic shift, once the dust has begun to settle, it’s time to do the work of rebuilding attachment. This is difficult and tedious work, but I want to tell you from personal experience, doing the work of rebuilding can be extremely powerful and rewarding.
After realizing we needed help, my wife and I got into therapy and spent a year working on ourselves and our relationship. In addition to couples therapy, we each saw our own therapist and basically took out a second mortgage in order to get healthy. It has paid off. We are more attached than we ever were before the injury, and we have a lot more perspective about what we can and can’t do on our own. In the end, our relationship is much stronger than it was.
It’s not unlike the athlete who suffers an injury and gets surgery and goes through rehab and then comes back stronger and faster and better. At the relationship level, however, there’s no quick surgery; there is only being there for one another with consistency and understanding over time. Don’t hesitate to celebrate small wins and milestones. From time to time, you’ll be reminded of the pain of your trauma, but grieving that pain together reinforces your bond and allows you to look ahead with a renewed sense of hope and strength.
If you’re dealing with some kind of catastrophic shift or attachment injury, ask for help. If you don’t know where to turn, feel free to shoot me an email at zach@zachbrittle.com, and I’ll see what I can do. You can also find me on Twitter (@kzbrittle) or Facebook. Hang in there.

A very worrying case says the Foreign secretary as Matthew’s rights are “violated on a daily basis” by his UAE captors. Another Disappointing story that makes difficult reading. He is currently awaiting a first hearing, apparently scheduled in the next 10 days, after being detained in May at the airport.
Deeply disappointing news that the excellent Iceland ad is now banned from tv. This is political correctness gone mad. We will be left with a diet of brexit jokes and anodyne reindeer.
The spectre of being censured for bullying now hangs over the Speaker, Mr Bercow, and the Leicester MP Keith Vaz. Vaz was also in the news a while back for getting entangled with rent boys.
I find the bullying issue deeply disturbing, and, more so, because a man accused of bullying is supervising an investigation into its prevalence within the Palace of Westminster. When someone challenges a bully, they sometimes respond by saying they are the victim or asserting further power. It is odd, because it is the bullying behaviour that has become so inbred, so alot of people in power have no idea at all that this is what they have been doing. Many of these people would be quite shocked, I am sure, to be told that they are bullies. More than that, to recognise that it is a habit they have got into, and a nasty habit at that.
I am sure that both Mr Vaz and Mr Bercow, friends incidentally, would be the first to object to any suggestion that they were not in control of their actions, but moments of madness happen to us all. What is needed in this whole bullying campaign is to find a way to make people in power behave better without going to court and without recrimination. These people are in power because they do power, on the whole, rather well. Sadly, it goes to their head a bit, and they need to be reined in. This is a time to give them some serious life-changing help and to make sure that help is readily available for others further down the line who also have to learn how to manage power.
Of course, some government departments and high street offices are simply designed in the 21st Century to facilitate bullying. The whole security process on the end of a telephone help-line is institutional intimidation and needs to be called out for what it is.
I remember when the TSB was the “Listening Bank” sporting wonderfully inventive adverts. Not any more. Today, it is the bank that “is sorry we have not met your high standards and that”, because of the great backlog, “may be taking a while to process your complaints.” It can take ten minutes to get through their security and even then, they do not function properly. Bullying masking incompetence. Shocking!
Mr Bercow’s problems lie in the alleged treatment of his private secretary, Angus Sinclair and Sinclair’s successor, Kate Emms. Mr Vaz’s problems seem greater in so far as when he posed as Jim, besides getting involved with rent boys, he also discussed buying them cocaine. His treatment of Ms McCulloch seems to be centred on the fact that she was from Northern Ireland and he had apparently suggested that she was therefore “a security risk”. Fairly shocking racism if true. She also criticises his hospitality expenses. Bluntly, much of this seems to be the sort of stuff that some timely guidance could have sorted out, but there was little of that and there looks likely to be little offered. A shame all round.
As for the abuse of parliamentary privilege, that is something that needs testing. There are astonishing stories in the last 300 years where privilege has been invoked, most notably when the MP elected to serve the constituents of Northampton, practically my own area, refused to take the oath of allegiance in Parliament. This was not disloyalty to the Queen but committed atheism. At one point, he suggested that, like John Morley who had taken the oath and kissed the testament, he might just say the words and not mean them: that was not good enough for the die-hard believers. It was God or nothing. Charles Bradlaugh was elected in 1880 and finally took his seat after 6 by-elections in 1885, taking over the India office and asserting the rights of Indians in the process. He died six years’ later, a spent man. Taking on the establishment bullies in this case as well as dealing with the intricacies of Parliamentary privilege must have “done for him”.
The problem lay in the conflict between the courts and the House of Commons. What was acceptable in the courts was not deemed right in the House, specifically to affirm rather than swear. So there was one rule in Parliament and another outside. Absurd and yet defended by the principle of Parliamentary privilege. But I suspect there were other issues of snobbery, spite and a basic fear of the modern that were at play. Bradlaugh was a self-made man who advocated family planning and universal pension. He made enemies. He was lampooned by Churchill’s father. But after 6 elections, he won. In a way. And he has a statue in Northampton to prove the point.
Common sense finally won out against an abuse of Parliamentary privilege.

Egyptians are counting on the return of Mohamed Salah on Tuesday as they try to salvage their World Cup against a Russian side who know a win could seal a place in the last 16.
Liverpool wizard Salah missed his team’s 1-0 defeat to Uruguay on Friday as he struggles to recover from the shoulder injury he sustained during last month’s Champions League Final.
Salah’s shoulder has continued to cause him problems in Russia, and at the weekend he needed the help of three team-mates to put a shirt on during a training session in Grozny.
Egypt’s Argentine coach Hector Cuper said on Monday Salah was fit to play but will undergo a test before kick-off in Saint Petersburg.
“I hope he will be fit to play, I’m sure he will be able to play. He is a central piece in our team,” Cuper said.
If Egypt lose, it will likely end their competitive involvement in their first World Cup since 1990, so 96 million Egyptians are willing him to be on the pitch.
Russia coach Stanislav Cherchesov was bullish that his team can rein in the explosive striker, who scored 44 goals in a remarkable debut season at Liverpool.
Russia got their World Cup off to the perfect start on Thursday with a 5-0 thrashing of Saudi Arabia, but are under no illusions that the seven-time African champions pose a far tougher test — providing Salah plays.
Earlier on Tuesday, Robert Lewandowski and Sadio Mane — Salah’s teammate at Liverpool — face off in a World Cup shootout between two of football’s most lethal forwards as Poland take on Senegal.
Eighth-ranked Poland enter their Group H opener at Moscow’s Spartak Stadium as favourites led by Bayern Munich’s Lewandowski, who netted 41 times in all competitions this season.
After a disappointing showing at the Euros in France two years ago, the Polish forward said he was entering the tournament in a different frame of mind from 2016.
Tuesday’s early game sees Colombia take on Japan in Saransk, four years after pounding the Asians 4-1 at the 2014 World Cup.
The South Americans have their own injury concern in the form of Brazil top scorer James Rodriguez, with the Bayern Munich midfielder nursing a calf strain.
James, 26, netted six goals and created four assists to help Colombia qualify for Russia.
Japan’s build-up to Russia has been tumultuous, after coach Vahid Halilhodzic was sacked in April despite steering the team to the finals.
The Japanese players’ preparations have been disrupted by news of the earthquake in Osaka that killed three people.
Tuesday’s round of fixtures will mean that all 32 teams in the tournament have now played at least once.
On Monday, England made hard work of a 2-1 win over Tunisia in Volgograd, relying on an injury-time Harry Kane header to take the three points.
Kane, the captain, put England ahead from close range but Tunisia levelled through a first-half Ferjani Sassi penalty.
England wasted a host of chances before Kane found the net with a header in the 91st minute.
Third-ranked Belgium waltzed past World Cup newbies Panama 3-0. Dries Mertens opened the scoring with a stunning volley and Romelu Lukaku bagged a second-half brace in Sochi.

Think it was a key stroke error or software keyboard program glitch?
Camping in 1868 might have been highly evolved compared to earlier generations. I had to get a laugh though, out of someone I asked to possibly do work on my TRAVCO 270. They were suggesting a prior vintage of non-existence conversion & application. I was thinking, did time lapse videos contribute to what they deemed more modern & functional? As vintage campers, I guess we all have our own tastes & desires, but knowledge & usage should at least be known, right?
Most everybody over 70 has lots of gas,nothing to brag about.!

There are five pet relief areas at Dulles International Airport. Three are located outside the terminal in pre-security areas, while the other two are within the concourses (post-security). The variety of options provides convenience and security for travelers and pet parents—those who need to relieve their animals need not leave the terminals, and those experiencing long security lines can quickly step out to use the pre-security stations. Dulles International pet policy requires that all non-service animals be kept in carriers and crates while not utilizing a pet relief area.
Dogs small enough to fit under your airplane seat will be allowed to fly with you in the cabin. All other animals must fly as either checked baggage or cargo. The checked baggage option is relatively unpopular among airlines, but if you choose to fly your dog this way, it’s really simple. Process your pup while checking into your flight and pick up him at excess baggage when you land.
If your airline does not accept animals as checked baggage, he must fly as cargo. Washington Dulles International Airport pet policy requires that all pet parents collect their animals from airline-specific cargo buildings. As with most airports, Washington Dulles does not provide shuttle service to the six cargo facilities. However, they are extremely close to the airport itself—just behind Garage 2 and across Cargo Drive. Though we suggest arranging private transportation, travelers can easily walk to their designated facilities—there is no Dulles Airport pet policy that states otherwise.
Below, we have listed essential location and contact information for a variety of cargo facilities. If you do not see your airline here, please check the Washington Dulles cargo directory. Please be aware that your airline may direct you to the Airport Cargo Facility at Reagan National.
IAD Airport pet policy requires that all animal owners contact their airlines to learn about flight-related procedures, requirements, and restrictions that may be imposed while traveling. One of these potential restrictions regards weather—specifically, temperature. If the temperature drops below 35 degrees or rises above 85—as is likely in the summer months—the conditions may be deemed too dangerous for animal travel. This applies only to animals traveling as checked baggage and cargo. We recommend avoiding this airport in the summer months and carefully tracking the weather forecast to anticipate scheduling problems.
IAD is a heavily-trafficked airport, seeing the most international passenger traffic of any airport in the Mid-Atlantic (outside of the New York Metropolitan area). As a result, pet relief areas—specifically those in secured locations—may become busy during peak travel times. In these situations, patience is of the utmost importance. Traveling with an animal is stressful enough—take a deep breath and wait to let your pup take a stretch.

And not reminded simply of 9/11. But of places like the Persian Gulf, Vietnam, Korea, Normandy, Pearl Harbor and every little skirmish or incident in between where a military serviceman or woman lost their life defending the cause of freedom. These people can’t be remembered enough and it’s up to us as parents to pass that ideal on to the next generation.
If we don’t, how else will they come to learn what has been done for them? How will they learn to appreciate the freedoms they possess?
Memorial Day is more than barbeques and the beginning of summer. It’s a time to honor those who gave their life in serving our country.
To the families of those who have lost a loved one in the line of duty, we say “Thank You.” Their sacrifice will not be forgotten.
Its important to learn how to help kids connect to the events of the past. Its easy for us to realize the disconnect young people today have to 9/11, but its important to recognize it for things further in the past as well.
Well said Brian. I still remember so many details about that day. I was watching the news about the new museum and they were showing what the museum was about and I was in tears after watching it. I can be brought back to that moment in an instant. Although rightfully so there was a lot of news coverage about that day, there are still men and women who are losing their lives today to protect our freedoms. We shouldn’t ever forget that.
One of the few times I remember exactly where I was and what I was doing when an event happened.
Thank you, Brian. It’s always sobering to have a reminder of those who have fallen to protect our rights.
With the distractions of life it’s easy to forget…but we never should.
As a child of a retired military serviceman, in our family it is important for us to teach this to our child. I hate that with the ongoing nature of the battles overseas that it has left the mainstream news media, but families lose children to war all the time and it is a sacrifice they are prepared and forced to make everyday. It should be honored and commended as much as possible.
The impact on the kids is not addressed nearly enough. Anything we can do to help them cope with the loss would be a positive.
Great post, Brian. It’s important to remember EVERYDAY those veterans and those who have passed away serving the country.
Completely agree DC! We owe them so much.
We need to remember always, starting with honoring those who died in service. Happy Memorial Day, Brian.

The highest student loan debt in the U.S. belongs to Connecticut, where young Americans have an average debt of $38,510 based on an analysis of 2017 data.
As tuition fees increase in most parts of the country, students should consider online education courses as a better option to keep their expenses at a minimum. Those who want to pursue graduate education should be aware that the average price of tuition alone cost more than $24,000 in the previous year.
During the 2016-2017 school year, undergraduate students at public schools paid more than $17,000 on tuition and accommodation fees. Private schools entailed a higher cost at more than $44,000. The expensive price of tertiary education even for a public school led some companies to find a cheaper alternative.
Digital courses seemed to be their solution to the rising cost of school fees. Average tuition fees for a short course such as learning a new language may still be unaffordable for many students. AMA University Online explains that knowing that there are some suitable alternatives would help students avoid having a large debt, especially since there is a possibility of defaulting on their payments.
The Urban Institute said that 40% of student loan borrowers might be unable to pay off their loans in the next five years. Surprisingly, those with smaller debt are most likely to default on repayments. At least 32% of Americans with more or less than $5,000 of student loans may miss a payment once within a four-year period.
The usual reason typically involves dropping out of college even before they completed the degree. Some people may have found it difficult to juggle work and school, which is often not a problem with online courses.
The convenience and relative affordability of online learning should be good enough reasons for students to continue their studies. When choosing an online education provider, consider one that offers different courses with an internationally recognized curriculum.

Generosity can be one of those touchy subjects. Aside from the fact that many pastors are reluctant to preach on it, and those who are givers are often hesitant to discuss it for fear of seeming boastful, the subject of generosity has a way of striking at sensitive core issues like none other.
There are three main reasons that generosity exposes so many raw nerves.
Fear. Many times we are afraid of generosity because we fear what we might be asked to give up or give away. And there are so many forms that fear can take—fear of not having enough, fear of loss of security, fear of loss of standard of living, fear of loss of financial freedom, fear of giving up something we desire, etc.
Guilt. Some of it has to do with our own consciences. We’re secretly afraid that we should be doing more or that God won’t be pleased with us until we reach a certain place of generosity.
Control. Sometimes we don’t like being told what to do. We don’t want to be told what we can do with our resources. Or, we want to ensure that our money is only spent in ways that we know are worthwhile.
Some of these objections to generosity have roots in good desires. For example, if we fear generosity means we won’t have enough on a rainy day, that fear ultimately comes from the good desire to provide for our families. However, the issue is our fallen nature has twisted those good desires into bonds that control us and tempt us to take matters into our own hands.
When God asks us to be generous, it’s not because He needs our money or resources. He already owns them all. It’s not because if we don’t give, then a ministry won’t be supported. God asks us to give because He loves us and He wants our hearts. Generosity is one of the tools God uses to help our hearts let go. It frees us to love God with a whole and unafraid heart.
In the new The Generosity Bet book, Henry Kaestner shared about how he and his wife felt like they were being generous. At the time, they were “double-tithing,” or giving about 20 percent. However, when a friend challenged him about why he gave, Henry realized how his giving stemmed from thinking that now God must be pleased with him.
Or, in the case of Anne Irwin, a mother and a business owner, when God asked her to start a giving circle to bring other women into generosity, she kept using the excuse that she was just too busy.
However, as both Anne and Henry looked at their motivations and just chose to take the next step into generosity, they began understanding the joy of giving. And through giving their time, resources, and passions, God began freeing their hearts to love Him more.
So, what is your heart holding onto? What next step of generosity might God be calling you to take so you can live free and live without fear?

A NEAR-DEATH experience is the inspiration behind Influential's latest single, Most Wanted.
“I did this song just to put everything to rest. I had to leave the island for a few months to clear my mind. I am no coward so I am back in the island. I have a number of other songs working on, but I wanted to let my fans know what was going on. I am moving on from this experience, but I have to tell my truth,” said the deejay.
“I always pree what's going on in our society on a daily basis. My mother died from cancer; when I go on the road and see the bad driving, I did Road Hog. The folly I see going on pon the social media inspired Pan Di Live. I talk about real-life stories,” he said.
Last year he released an album, Rules and Laws, on the Tuff Gong International label.

“Material ism is empiricism and empiricism is materialism”: so I was told by my science textbook when I was a boy, so I was told by the Marxists I read as a teenager. Materialism and Empricism are two distinct traditions. Materialism goes back to the Atomists Democritus and Epicurus and was revivied in modern thought by the discovery of Lucretius’ poem De Rerum Naturae in the early 15th Century. Empiricism goes back to Pyhrro, comes down to us via Sextus Empiricus (hence the name) and was revived in England following Newton’s Laws of Gravity. Berkeley and Hume were empiricists – they certainly were not Materialists.
(As an aside Tacitus’ Germania was discovered around the same time as De Rerum Naturae and under the same cirucmstances. How much better for the future of Europe if the monks had recycled the parchment without reading it first).
I did not equate materialism and empiricism in the blog. But in my studies of social movements and ideology, those ideas that maintained illegitimate authority were sharply opposed to the evidence of the senses or cause and effect. I am well aware that current day postmodernists, for instance, attack science as “a swindle” leading to excessive democracy and a rupture with tradition. I did once plow through all 6 or 8 volumes of Hume’s History of England, and found him the chief of the “moderate men” and a Tory who loathed Locke. Herder was a great admirer of Hume. On this website I have been tracking the noxious influence of German idealism in this country and in Europe. I’m afraid I admire Lucretius (as did Melville) for his banishing religious terrorism (the fear of Hell) from his world view. To conclude this brief response, dialectical materialism is neither scientific nor empirical. It comes from Hegel and his compatriots.
I appreciate this blog entry. You frequently use these words but without explanation. I one googled “organic Conservative” only to find that it was a type of english gardening. If I were to define a typology, the polar opposite of materialism would be idealism; that of organic conservatism, individualism.
I agree that the opposite of epistemological materialism would be idealism. Organic conservatism vs. individuality is something that I have addressed throughout the website. Thanks for the comment. There are leftists that are, underneath the rhetoric, organicists; while there are persons in any political camp who look at real material interests in the world, and try to construct social bonds based on an identity of interests. But you already know that.

There has been a lot of discussion lately about “service virtualization”, however the term alone can make your head spin. Are we talking about server virtualization? What types of services are involved? What does virtualization have to do with testing? I’d like to quickly clear up any confusion you may have. Service virtualization is used to simulate the behavior of components in an application so you can perform an accurate and timely test in a world of complex interrelated applications. Production services that may not be available for integration testing can be virtualized so the testing can take place at an appropriate time in the software development process.
While quality professionals have always needed to test combinations of code, current methods for writing and combining code have changed so much that traditional approaches to testing can’t get the job done at the right price and the right time. There is a fast growing commercial market for production services that are incorporated as self-contained modules into software applications. Third party services such as PayPal or a credit checking service are increasingly used in customer facing applications.
Use of these third-party services increases the efficiency of software development, but at the same time makes your application dependent on services that you do not control. Consider, for example, the scenario of an online retailer with multiple suppliers. The retailer has created a new mobile application for customers. This application uses a credit check service provided by a third-party vendor. The team can’t test without this dependent component, but it is not available for testing. Without service virtualization, the software development team has some difficult choices to make and none of the options are good. If the development team proceeds without doing the necessary testing, they may introduce errors that are much harder and more costly to fix later on. If the team waits until the third-party service is available, developer productivity will decline and the team may miss production deadlines. In addition, if the third-party service becomes available it can get pretty expensive to test application performance at high usage levels since the service costs money each time it is executed.
So what does the development team do in this situation? Service virtualization is a new approach to testing that helps organizations eliminate some of the testing bottlenecks that make it hard to bring new high quality applications to market quickly. Here are five key things you should know about service virtualization.
To get started with service virtualization you need to understand your testing methodology and think about where service virtualization can increase team velocity while also helping your team to deliver higher quality software.
Use a cost/benefit analysis to select which services should be virtualized. Consider the cost to your company when testing is delayed because dependent services or software are not available for testing. How much is spent on staff needed to set up and maintain test environments? How much do you spend to maintain test environments that are not fully utilized? What is the cost for software licenses in the physical test lab environment? What is the cost of third-party service access fees?
Service virtualization can help you find errors in all testing phases- including unit testing, performance testing, integration testing, system testing, system integration testing, user acceptance testing, and operability testing.
Recording a service that already exists is a great way to define the behavior of your virtual component. You can use the recording process to identify the behaviors that will need to be simulated so you can create test cases quickly.
You can’t expect to virtualize all your components. Therefore, you need to be able to easily move back and forth between real components and virtual components while you are testing. You want to maintain consistency across real and virtual components.
One of the biggest impacts of service virtualization for developers is the ability to validate integrations much earlier in the application life cycle. The software development team can move beyond unit testing and overcome many of the roadblocks that inhibit timely, efficient, and cost effective testing.
While the buzz in the big data market is around massive amounts of data and what you can do with that data, in truth companies are more interested in the small stuff. Let me explain. One of the greatest benefits of getting hold of lots of data is that a company can see patterns and anomalies that would have gone undetected with a smaller set of data.
Companies are interested in big data not so much because of what that data represents in terms of volume, variety and velocity, but what the analysis of that data can do for the business. As business decision makers begin to recognize the potential of big data, they realize that the biggest insights and hidden gems of knowledge are found when big data actually becomes quite small. However, the analysis must start with very large volumes of data. Exploring the world of big data takes business leaders beyond the data found in their organization’s traditional databases. Researchers, data scientists, and marketers, are analyzing very large volumes of unstructured data from previously untapped sources such as e-mails, customer service records, sensor data, and security logs.
Now that companies have the ability to deal with so much more data, they are free to incorporate a greater variety of data into the mix. For example, they are incorporating social media, mobile phone location, traffic, and weather data into more traditional analysis. But what is the goal? Add more data and more elements so that those patterns emerge. Armed with the insight from analysis, business leaders can take a more precise set of data and compare it to data from a data warehouse or a system of record. As a result, the research becomes more targeted and directed to fit in with the context of the business.
Why do companies need to take this targeted approach to leveraging big data? In essence, companies want to use big data analysis to make a personalized offer that is just right for the customer when that customer is ready to buy. In some cases, the answer may be related not to selling but to diagnosing problems with a manufacturing system or a patient with an unexplained illness.
How do you move from big data analysis to small data insights and personalized action? You need to consider three elements: defining your business problem, defining and analyzing your data sources, and integrating and incorporating your big data analysis with your operational data.
Defining your business problem. Companies are beginning to ask the traditional questions about customers, products, and partners in new ways. For example, are you looking to manage your customer interactions armed with in-depth and customized knowledge about each individual customer? Companies with a focus on driving continuous improvement in customer service are asking, “How can I delight this customer and anticipate their specific needs?” These are important goals for businesses competing in today’s fast-paced, mobile-driven market.
Defining and analyzing your data sources. What information do you need to make the right offer to your buyer when he deciding on a purchase? What information can you glean from outside sources such as social media data? What big data sources do you have available internally that were previously underutilized? For example, can you use text analytics to gain new insight about customers from call center notes, emails, and voice recordings? One important goal with big data analytics is to look for patterns and relationships that apply to your business and narrow down the data set based on business context. Your big data analysis will help you find the small treasures of information in your big data.
Integrating and incorporating the analysis of you big data with your operational data.
After your big data analysis is complete, you need an approach that will allow you to integrate or incorporate the results of your big data analysis into your business process and real-time business actions. This will require some adjustment to the conventional notion of data integration. In order to bring your big data environments and enterprise data environments together, you will need to incorporate new methods of integration that support Hadoop and other nontraditional big data environments. In addition, if you want to incorporate the results of very fast streaming data into your business process, you will need advanced technology that enables you to make decisions in real-time.
Ultimately, if you want to make good decisions based on the results of your big data analysis you need to deliver information at the right time and with the right context. In order to make the results of your analysis actionable, you need to focus more on the small – targeted and personalized results of big data – than on the large data volumes.
I recently attended an IBM analyst meeting focused on solutions for the midmarket. What caught my attention was the focus on analytics as an important and growing revenue opportunity for IBM. In fact, IBM mentioned during the meeting that 70 percent of midsized firms are looking for analytics solutions. It is clear from this meeting that IBM wants to bring a comprehensive set of analytical tools to the midsize companies. Unlike some of IBM’s packaging, analytics tools are being packaged specifically for the midmarket so that they can be more consumable and affordable.
Analytics is fast becoming a high priority for companies as a result of the explosion in the variety, velocity, and volume of data with a potential impact on business decision-making. Much of this data is unstructured, such as the text included in customer service records, customer sentiment data in social media, or streams of data from instrumented devices. Making good business decisions often requires analysis across multiple sources and types of data. Companies often have independent systems designed to manage business processes ranging from order/inventory to point of sales, marketing research, and customer relationship management. The challenge for many of these companies is that answering the most urgent questions about the business requires analysis across all of these independent systems. Even a small company with a few hundred employees may have a dozen systems are are disconnected and keep the company from having a full picture of the business.
Therefore, it is not surprising that some midsize companies are finding they can benefit from business analytics solutions. Yet, while some midsize companies are finding ways to get the answers they want using analytics, the word needs to spread to other companies still struggling with manual spreadsheet analysis that doesn’t go deep enough.
IBM is going to market through its business partners that typically support midsize companies with a variety of solutions. These business partners are being asked by their clients in the midmarket to help them implement technology solutions that will enable them to make smarter business decisions. They want to find new ways to deeper their understanding of customer expectations and priorities. For example, a midsize retailer might be trying to figure out why certain products are returned while others sell well. The analytics market offers huge opportunity for IBM and its partners.
The approach IBM is taking with analytics for the mid-market is to offer its partners a pre-configuration of hardware and software into a single system at a price point that is both affordable for midsized companies, but also has enough of a margin to make it attractive to a partner channel.
However, the challenge for partners is to change the traditional way they have gone to market. Many partners that have built successful businesses by specializing in hardware sales or a specific category of software such as IBM Rational find that they need to meet a broader set of client requirements. They now need to both learn the new analytics products and be ready to sell and implement solutions differently. Selling analytics to the mid market requires much more than a technical sell. Partners need to have a thorough understanding of the business context in which the analytics will be used to help customer visualize the potential business value.
One of IBM’s offerings that partners should be looking at is the IBM Smart Analytics System 5710, which is a database appliance for business intelligence and data analytics targeted at the SMB market. The IBM Smart Analytics System 5710 is based on IBM System x, runs Linux, and includes InfoSphere Warehouse Departmental Edition and Cognos 10 Business Intelligence Reporting and Query. The system is designed to enable partners to get their clients up and running very quickly a broad set of analytics and business intelligence capabilities. I expect that you will see a lot more of this type of packaging from IBM with collaboration from its solution business partners.
Many business executives are interested in moving to the cloud because of the potential impact on business strategy. Increasingly they are convinced that a cloud model – particularly the private cloud – will give them an increased amount of flexibility to change and manage the uncontrolled expansion of IT. In contrast, from an IT perspective, the ability to virtualize servers, storage, and I/O, is often viewed as the culmination of the cloud journey. Of course, the world is always more complicated than it appears. Cloud computing if implemented in a strategic manner can help a company experiment and change more easily. Likewise, virtualization, which may seem like an isolated and pragmatic approach, needs to be considered in context with an overall cloud computing strategy.
However, the challenge for many companies right now is how to transform their virtualized infrastructure into a private cloud that delivers on the promise of on-demand and self-service provisioning of IT resources. To make sure that business leaders gain desired cost savings and business flexibility while IT gains the optimization that can be achieved through virtualization requires an integrated strategy. At the heart of this strategy is service management of this emerging highly virtualized environment.
Why is service management important? There are good reasons why a key focus of the virtualization strategy at many companies has been on server virtualization. For example, server virtualization helps companies create a faster and more efficient IT provisioning process for users. It helps users with increased operational flexibility based on the mobility and isolation capabilities of virtual machines.
However, there is a major management problem with the typical virtualization approach in many companies. Often developers satisfy their demands for computing resources by simply creating or spinning up a new virtual machine rather than anticipating that they might not have the time or money to purchase new IT systems. IT management in the beginning allows this practice because it is easier than trying to control impatient developers. However, there is a price to be paid. Each new virtual machine image requires memory and disk resources. When the number of virtual machines grows out of control, companies end up spending more time and money on disk, storage, and memory resources than was anticipated. Lack of control means lack of management. What is the answer?
At a recent IBM systems software meeting, Helene Armitage, General Manager of Systems Software, emphasized that in order to truly transform the data center into an agent of change requires a focus on manageability. Here are the main take always from my conversations with Helene and her team.
Virtualization is not just about server consolidation. Companies need to think differently about virtualization in order to prepare for a future marked by rapid change. For example, storage virtualization can offer big benefits to companies facing explosive demand for data storage from increased use of new technologies like embedded and mobile devices.
Physical and virtual environments will need to be managed in a unified way and at the same time. Some may think of virtualization as a way of reducing management requirements. After all, with consolidated resources you should have less demand for power, energy, and space. However, management needs to be done right to be effective. it is important to consider how to manage across the platform and to include monitoring and configuration in combination with business service management – delivering IT services in a structured, governed, and optimized way.
Cloud changes the complexion of what’s important in how virtualization is approached. In the cloud, virtualization takes on a different level of complexity. If elements of virtualization including storage, server, and I/O virtualization are handled as isolated tasks, the cloud platform will not be effectively managed.
System pooling is key for managing lots of systems. Systems pooling essentially means that IT treats all resources as a unified set of shared resources to improve performance and manageability.
Enforcing standardization right from the beginning is a requirement — especially when virtualization is at the core of a cloud environment. The only way to truly manage the virtualized environment is to apply repeatable, predictable, and standardized best practices across the entire computing environment.
The greatest challenge for companies is to think differently about virtualization. Management will need to realize that virtualization is a foundational element in building a private cloud environment and therefore has to be looked at from a holistic perspective.
Can a small business act like a giant with SaaS?
It isn’t easy being a small fish in a big pond. How does a small mortgage company leverage its ability to be nimble in a competitive market? I believe that SaaS offerings are initiating a revolution with broad implications for business models and competitiveness. It is becoming increasingly clear that with the advent of sophisticated software as a service (SaaS) environments combined with process as a service, it is possible and even commonplace for a small company to be competitive. I had the opportunity to spend some time at IBM’s LotusSphere with a small mortgage company called Signature Mortgage based in Ohio. By leveraging a combination of IBM’s LotusLive platform combined with Silanis Technology’s electronic signature platform, Signature Mortgage has been able to differentiate itself in an extremely complex market dominated by Fortune 500 companies.
Mortgage brokers like Signature Mortgage are involved primarily in the origination process of the loan, bringing mortgage borrowers together with mortgage lenders who actually fund the money for the loan. Mortgage borrowers engage with mortgage brokers early in the mortgage process when a consumer looking for a mortgage often has a lot of choices. It can be hard at this early stage for a consumer to differentiate between mortgage brokers and if one mortgage broker takes several days or longer deliver the mortgage application documents for signing, the consumer might switch to another broker. Typically a consumer selects a mortgage broker based on the offered rate, term, and closing costs and then locks down the rate to protect against a rate change. The broker will facilitate a complex series of steps that must take place in order to move from this initial rate lock down to the approval and closing of the mortgage. The consumer must submit financial and personal documentation so the mortgage broker can assess the credit worthiness of the individual and appraise the property.
The process between mortgage origination and closure can take as long as 45-60 days. To make money, the mortgage broker needs to be able to collect all the required information quickly and then be in a position to close the deal with the mortgage lender before rates change. There is a lot at stake for both the mortgage broker and applicant during this time period. For example, missing a deadline for a signature can lead to cancellation of locked-in rates on a mortgage commitment, potentially leading to higher costs for a buyer or lost revenue for a mortgage broker.
Bob Catlin, President of Signature Mortgage explained to me that he was determined to use his company’s small size as an advantage by quickly implementing innovative technology that might take much longer in a large company with legacy policies and infrastructure. By streamlining and speeding up the mortgage origination process, he could differentiate from the larger banks, increase profits and have happier more satisfied customers.
Signature Mortgage has its customers log in to a portal designed to capture best practices for submitting application documentation, revising documents, receiving status reports and securing electronic signatures when required. All of the steps in the mortgage process are documented within the Silanis Technology portal that is based on IBM’s LotusLive collaboration platform. The Silanis electronic signature solution is delivered as a cloud-based service, making it attractive to a small business with a limited IT staff. By implementing Silanis Technology’s solution, Caitlin has been able to shave days off the loan origination process because there are no more last minute surprises resulting from missing data or documents and delays in arranging in-person meetings.
For Signature Mortgage, the first step in tightening the timeline for the mortgage process was to consistently lock in rates in less than 15 days. Caitlin is now working on decreasing application processing time to 24 hours and shortening the total time between mortgage application and closing down to 10-15 days. Any mortgage borrower who has dealt with requests for last minute faxes for missing documentation or errors that are discovered as the rate-lock deadline approaches will understand that decreasing the time to close from the industry average of 30-45 days is a big deal. However, speed isn’t the entire benefit; managing all information related to the mortgage applications in one centralized portal improves accuracy and accountability. Using the capabilities of LotusLive and Silanis e-signature, Signature Mortgage has been able to include features that make the online mortgage process intuitive and consistent with paper-based manual processes that are familiar to many people. For example, customers click to sign where they see a virtual sticky note similar to the process used at in-person signings. The consistency and repeatability of the process helps the company to maintain compliance with legal and regulatory requirements.
With this predictable foundation, Signature Mortgage has been able to grow quickly, increase profitability and build a strong presence in the community.

Marina Estates Gilford . | Cook's Bay Fishing Board .
Here you go guys, hot off the press, Sign is being posted right now on the property .
Nestled between two marinas on Lake Simcoe at Cook's Bay in Innisfil, this exclusive pocket of executive homes features lots over 100' wide x 350'-400' deep and a wide range of homes to choose from. From 1700 sf bungalows to 3700 sf two storey layouts all in a tranquil setting.
Brutal. Hopefully they like lots of company in the winter.
There is potential for a home of almost 4,000 sqft that's if you got the bucks .
Not to worry , you know who has your back , parking will be the same for a couple years until the town trys something not welcomed by ice fisherman , will meet that head on with a fight .
The GTA expansion continues makes me want to puke .
It just goes to show you how popular Gilford Rd has become , known by ice fisherman all around the world .
You would think that sign you see there would be placed on the north side, along 89 were more would see it, that's the power of association for you .
As you guys know parking is on the right looking at this pic so parking in this area wont be affected . Nilley Rd , thats another story.
The person that says we should welcome our guests and parking should be opened the cbfb will be promoting , anything short of that, you don't get my vote and ill encourage others to do the same .
they should look into building a parking lot for guys who ice fish or use this area for summer time fishing..as u say peter it is a well known area so why would they not try to keep it available for us fisherman/ women to use.. with having a parking lot it also keeps roadways safe and should keep locals happy by not having cars parked in front of their homes all winter long..
There is no room to put a parking lot, park at my house if you want..
If its not broken, don't fix it..
Well, since Peter posted this, I have to establish a Rule #1 so to speak!
So, Rule #1 is that if you want to buy one of these properties you must use use ME as your real estate agent.
The other Rule #1 is that you can buy and sell houses with me anywhere in the GTA, up to Barrie!
The other Rule #1 is that if you send me people who buy and sell properties with me, you'll get a really NICE gift from me when the deal is done. Something like a full weekend of ice-fishing staying at "The Executive" all paid for by me.
As the Executive is pretty much book the hole season there would be no benefit to me with your Rules .
Soo any potential customers out there in cbfb land , have a look at the map , pick the lot that interests you and ill make a video of that lot so you can see better ..
I don't make 3% so I'll have to pay extra from my pocket after I finish the deal.
You'll see how it works after you send me someone to buy the plaza that is for sale on Gilford Road!
I seen the sign the other day , know how much thy want ?
Established Commercial Plaza With Retail And Two Residential Units Above (2 - 3 Bedroom Apts) Less Than 10,000 Sq Ft Gross Building Area, On Site Parking. Separate Meters For Each Tenant.
Extras:Apartment 1 - Existing Fridge, Stove And Clothes Washer. Apartment 2 - Existing Fridge, Stove.
Let ME know if you have a buyer in mind. The plaza is a landmark and has been there for years. Things can only get better in that area and frankly I wish I could buy it MYSELF.
im sure there's room for negotiations .
Don't forget there is also that huge chunk of land near the end of Gilford Road for $1.2 Million Bucks. Not a bad investment for the future if you can find a partner to buy 93 Acres there!!!!

beat us then; nobody knows. Some think that it was because their General Staff did not trust their chemists.
Just at the time when the gas attack was preparing outside Ypres, a little army of the Allies was landing on the Gallipoli Peninsula, "to assist the passage of the fleets through the Dardanelles."
I have been asked about the Gallipoli campaign. People have complained to me that it was a blunder. I don't agree. It had to be undertaken; to keep Bulgaria quiet, to keep Greece from coming in against us, to protect Egypt and to draw the Turkish Army from the Caucasus, where Russia was hard pressed. People say, "Well, at least it was a blunder to attack in the way you did." I say that when we did attack, we attacked with the only men and the only weapons we had, and in the only possible places.
In war one has to attempt many things, not because they are wise or likely to succeed, but because they have to be done. In this war, we had to attempt them with insufficient means, because we were unprepared for war.
Consider what that attempt meant.

Disaster. After a steady period at the computer coal face before Christmas, I developed a niggly back problem that my physio put down to freaking typing, and general bad posture. Plus the years of not properly stretching. Well probably not stretching at all when I came to think about it. So I’ve now got into a religious regime of exercises and pilates, and I am a changed man. At least for now. Who knew there was a neutral spine position, and not only that, given time it becomes perfectly natural to just stand up straight. Who knew I would be able to touch my toes again. Who knew I’d be talking in the pub about mindfulness and core strength. Certainly not me. Its been quite a revelation. Mainly about the level of my general bodily ignorance and denial, but a new panacea has certainly opened up, and at the moment I have fully embraced it. Well ok lets not go over the top, but I’m sure its the way forward. No more Mr Slouch.
Anyway, although the back is still not quite right, I was finally out in the hills this week, after what has been a frustrating couple of months. Don’t yet trust myself on the bike, and given the choice happy to slide out of carrying the rucksack, but god it was good to get out of the city. The destination? Allt Scheicheachan bothy, underneath Beinn Dearg, in what is now the very southern part of the Cairngorm National Park. Considering how easy it is to get to its just enough out of the way keep away the crowds, and is in reassuringly good nick.
unintented product placement for twiglets…..
