As your trip will be in the Antarctic summer, you won't need to take any really extreme cold weather gear. Temperatures on many or most days will hover around freezing point, maybe dropping to an extreme of -10C (20F) though more likely not. People feel the cold in different ways, the only difference you may experience in Antarctica is that it will almost certainly be windy as well as cold.
Layering is the key, then you can be flexible according to conditions. Rather than take one very large thick layer, take several thinner layers that can be put on or off as the conditions dictate, this way you can remain comfortable as the day progresses whether you are on the zodiac in the wind, walking in the sunshine with no breeze or anywhere in between.
Buy in South America? - There are of course clothing stores in the cities of South America, prices for the kind of gear you need however are generally cheaper in North America, Europe or Australia and the choice will be much greater.
Waterproof for those wet zodiac landings, rugged and comfortable enough for extended walking on a variety of terrain. This modern take on rubber wellington boots is increasingly used by tourists and guides. A stout molded lower boot and sole are firmly bonded to a neoprene upper for warmth, waterproofness, comfort and toughness.
...and socks - Make sure you get some good warm long socks to go with them too. merino wool is the gold standard for warmth and comfort.
It is unlikely that you will experience very low temperatures as your visit will be in the Austral summer, however Antarctica is the windiest continent and it certainly penetrates! The warmest pullover or fleece soon becomes useless as the katabatic winds blow down from the great Antarctic ice-cap and straight through it. Water resistance is also vital when cruising and travelling by zodiacs from your cruise ship.
Alternatives: Breathable waterproof rain jacket.
3-in-1 Jackets, wind / water proof shell + insulating inner jacket, wear alone or together.
Fleeces are ideal for this they come in a variety of weights and styles.
You might prefer a lightweight down-filled jacket, these are extremely warm and can easily be thrown on over a shirt for immediate serious insulation like when there's a call for an exciting wildlife sighting for instance. While wind proof and water resistant to a degree, they should not be relied on as the outer shell layer for all conditions unless specified as such with substantial shell material. A thinner one makes an excellent warm but lightweight layer.
Insulating layers for the lower body. Thick warm pants of a natural material such as moleskin or heavyweight synthetic material such as polyester.
Overtrousers for riding in the zodiac and staying dry during landings, light-weight is fine and will be easier to pack away into your backpack. Zips down each leg make it much easier to get them on and off over your boots.
There's a saying that a good hat is worth an extra layer. Ear flaps are highly recommended and can be folded up out of the way when the wind stops blowing or it gets a bit warmer. Choosing a hat made of windproof material or with a wind proof layer can mean less bulk to easily slip into a pocket, pom poms will make it difficult when using a hood over the top.
Water-resistant gloves are always very useful when in and around small boats. Ski-type are good as they are warm and water resistant with it. A thin pair of glove liners as well as a warmer pair means that you'll be able to take photographs without taking them off. Mittens are much warmer than gloves, though reduce dexterity dramatically.
A scarf or insulated "neck gaiter" - also sometimes called a snood - of some kind to insulate the neck, also to keep warm air from "pumping" out of the body region, and stop wind-driven snow from getting into the clothing where it could melt and become very uncomfortable. My son voted this item as his most useful and favorite item of clothing when we went on an Arctic cruise around Spitsbergen. You can pull it up as far as over your nose if needed or it sits in a well-behaved manner out of the way when required rather than flapping around.
A warm comfortable base-layer can be clothing you already have, t-shirts and long sleeved shirts. As long as you have a good insulting layer and outer layer, you probably won't need "thermal" underwear unless you feel the cold very badly. You may however like to get some nice base layers, tops can be worn as a comfortable outer layer around the ship, it is easy to pull other layers over the top quickly when going outdoors. Synthetic materials or merino wool are best, cotton is best avoided.
Clothing around the ship - Antarctic cruises are informal events and you won't need any especially smart clothes on board or need to dress for a formal meal. This is somewhere you can pack light, ships will have a laundry service so you can get a few items washed part way through to last you the duration of your trip.
Camera. Get a good quality camera, most people are fine with a digital camera of about 15-25 mega pixels. This will give plenty of scope for cropping the pictures later and allow enlargements up to about A3 size (11" x 14") and a very impressive image on a screen or projector.
A digital single lens reflex (DSLR) is preferable (but more expensive and bigger) with at least a wide angle to short telephoto lens, 20-50mm ish, and a short telephoto zoom 50-200mm ish. Anything over a 300mm lens is an extravagance for Antarctica that you'll hardly ever use and will be much heavier to carry.
Spare batteries, and spare spare batteries. Lots of memory, more than you think you'll need.
Good quality sun-glasses with full u.v. protection. It gets really bright in Antarctica, especially when the sun reflects off the sea and ice or snow.
High factor sun-cream for the same reason. If you've never been burnt under your nose from reflections from snow or sea now's your chance.
Lightweight waterproof backpack to carry your stuff ashore while leaving arms free to clamber in and out of the Zodiacs. Around 1500-2000 cu. in. / 25-30L is a useful size.
Full size waterproof liners for your backpack will protect everything inside from the sea splashing on a bumpy zodiac ride or in case you drop it in the sea (a rare occurrence but not entirely unknown).
These may be available to hire from your ship or tour operator, though they also make ideal carry-on bags for the flight to your ship, much more flexible and versatile than the usual carry-on luggage.
Luggage - you'll need something to lug your stuff around in.
Ships cabins are smaller than hotel rooms, so space matters. Soft bags can be compressed and pushed under beds whereas large rigid cases can be more troublesome. They also tend to weigh less, so making them easier to carry and taking up less of your baggage allowance.
Binoculars - A must if you're a wildlife fanatic and a "nice to have" if you're not.
Binoculars are described by two numbers "10 x 50" for instance. The first number is the magnification and the second is the diameter of the front lens in millimeters. This tells you first of all how much bigger things appear and then how much of it you see at that magnification.
Incidentally, I see you recommend avid wildlife watchers should take binoculars - everyone should have them! It is very annoying having to share your binos with someone for that rare glimpse of a distant blue whale or even just getting a better view of scenery!" - Robert Burton Antarctic tour guide and lecturer.
A magnification of 10 or 12 is about as much as most people can manage to hand-hold without shaking and is generally most useful. 8 or 10 x magnification with 20 to 30 mm front elements will slip into a coat pocket fairly easily.
Powerstrip - Powerpoints in ships cabins are very thin on the ground and we are increasingly addicted to our gadgets. A lightweight short cabled powerstrip (preferably with surge protect) enables you to charge everything up at the same time with just the one adaptor to plug into the wall. It can be very frustrating having spent the last 8 hours charging the wrong device when the battery light on what you are using turns red.

Horses, normally, do not venture out in the open if they are provided with the basic necessities inside the yard. However, on certain occasions, a horse might be tempted to go out on the street, and that may turn out to be dangerous. Hence, it is important to keep them inside. How, you ask? An electric horse fence is the answer.
Horses exhibit personality traits that are very much similar to human beings. They do not like to be trapped in enclosed areas and they love to roam freely, though within the yard. They hate walls and other opaque surfaces which prevent them from seeing the outside world. However, if they are supplied with adequate food and water, they are unlikely to break the barrier and go out. However, certain circumstances may force a horse to break the barrier and set itself free. Hence, it is necessary to install a fence that can successfully 'contain' the horse inside.
Invisible fencing does not work well with horses as they are likely to get tangled in the wires that are barely visible. Wooden or concrete barriers are dangerous, because the horse might try and break them if it is determined to go out. Horses act on instincts when they panic and get themselves seriously injured.
Electric fences have been criticized for being painful to animals. Yet, one can't deny the fact that they are very much effective in keeping animals, like horses and dogs, inside the yard, where they are safe.
Electric Fence Wire: It carries the electric charge across the fence. It is the 'active' or hot part, and is located above the ground.
Energizer: Energizer generates the electric charge and pushes it through the fence. This power is delivered in a series of pulses, which are transmitted per second to comply with the safety standards. Continuous pulses are not generated so as to give the horse some time to free itself from the fence.
Ground System: It comprises metal rods that are dug inside the ground. It is the 'inactive' part in the assembly, which only becomes active when the circuit is completed; or in other words, whenever the animal touches the fence.
The working principle of this fence is fairly simple; the circuit completes only when the horse comes in contact with the fence and ground. The energizer and ground system have a gap between them, which prevents the circuit from completing. The horse touches the fence and the circuit is completed, allowing the charge to pass. This charge flows through the body of the horse, resulting in a mild shock. Though the shock is not very painful, it is enough to startle the animal and prevent it from coming anywhere near the fence in future.
The cost incurred on installing an electric fence will depend on the perimeter of your yard. On an average, it will cost you anywhere between 48 to 75 cents per foot. While critics call for a ban on this system citing the pain it causes to the animal, horse-keepers do vouch for the safety and effectiveness of this fencing.

This Demonstration shows a numerical simulation of the cyclic-voltammetric response for a one-step redox reaction ( ) involving two soluble species. Mass transport of both species is characterized as 1D semi-infinite diffusion from or toward a planar electrode in a quiescent electrolyte. Cyclic voltammogram and interfacial concentration versus potential curves are plotted. You can experiment with the effects of electron transfer kinetics, mass transport, and potential scan rate using the controls for the dimensionless parameters. You can also explore the dependence on initial and reversal potentials, and .
This Demonstration models the Faradaic response for a one-step redox reaction ( ) to a typical cyclic-voltammetry (CV) input signal. The reaction involves two soluble species, and , on a planar electrode (e.g., Pt electrode) in a quiescent electrolyte.
Dimensionless notation is used for the sake of generality. The relevant notation is , , , , and , where denotes the standard rate constant (cm/s) for electron transfer at the electrolyte/electrode interface, , all symbols having their usual meaning, is the symmetry factor for electron transfer in the reduction direction (here forward direction), is the potential scan rate in V/s, is the diffusion coefficient for species in /s, is the distance from the electrode surface in cm, is the time variable in s, is the Faradaic current density in A/ , is the controlled potential (with linear variation with respect to time), and is the formal potential of redox couple, both potentials being given in V versus the reference electrode. Setting , for example, the dimensionless input signal is with , where and are the dimensionless initial and reversal potentials, respectively. The initial potential is taken as the equilibrium potential of the electrode pertaining to the bulk concentrations and such as in , so the initial and bulk concentrations for species and are equal to and , respectively.
The numerical solution of the 1D linear diffusion equations, together with the boundary condition (relative to electrochemical kinetics) at the electrolyte/electrode interface and the bulk conditions (constant concentrations with respect to time), is readily obtained using the so-called method of lines implemented in Mathematica's built-in function NDSolve. The dimensionless current density is computed versus time from the dimensionless flux of electroactive species at the interface. You can vary the parameters (logarithmic scale) and as well as the diffusion coefficient ratio . You can also vary the dimensionless initial potential and reversal potential within some limits.
Numerical simulation provides the dimensionless cyclic voltammogram (the parametric curve versus ), together with the dimensionless concentration of redox species, and , as a function of dimensionless space and time variables. The interfacial values ( , with superscript "s"), that satisfy with , are plotted versus .
The dimensionless coordinates of CV peaks are evaluated in both the reduction (forward scan) and oxidation (reverse scan) directions, whenever such peaks exist. The two limiting behaviors (relative to the first forward scan only) pertaining respectively to reversible electron-transfer kinetics ( and , observed at large enough values of and , irrespective of ) and totally irreversible kinetics ( and , observed at low enough values of and large enough values of , irrespective of ) can be readily obtained from numerical experimentation.

Transportation companies often merge in order to enhance both entities’ strengths and reduce any weaknesses they may have. By joining forces, business owners hope to increase company efficiency, maximize profits, and reduce overhead costs. Many businesses who are suffering financially and looking for a lifeline will seriously consider a merger when weighing their options, and a successful merger can reap benefits for both parties involved.
However, the process of merging transportation companies can be complicated and risky if not executed correctly. There are several ways to make sure a merger will be advantageous to all involved, with a transition as smooth and pain-free as possible. Here we’ll take a look at three tips for successfully merging transportation companies.
One of the toughest challenges in the merger process is ensuring the dynamic between new coworkers from both companies is conducive to a positive working environment. Business culture is all too often overlooked even before two companies have agreed upon a merger. Ideally, the two transportation companies should share similar business philosophies and cultures. Merging companies with conflicting work environments is disruptive at best and disastrous at worst. The compatibility of the companies’ office cultures is one sure way to judge the likelihood of the merger’s success or failure.
When thinking about looking to merge a transportation company with another, a business owner should first identify his or her company’s own strong suits as well as areas with room for improvement. After all, if you owned a perfect company, there would be no reason to merge in the first place. Taking a dispassionate and realistic view of your company’s performance will help when searching for a suitable partner with whom to merge. Similarly, recognizing your transportation company’s strengths can help make sure redundancies among both your workforce and business operations are kept to a minimum.
Entering into discussions about a possible merger is the part of the process which is fraught with the most risk for a business owner and the company, especially if the owner decides to negotiate without the assistance of a professional. Sensitive company information, financial data, trade secrets, client lists, and other documents can potentially fall into the hands of competitors with whom the company may not ultimately merge. Business brokers and professionals who specialize in buying and selling transportation businesses often insist upon negotiating with confidentiality agreements in place, both to lessen whatever distrust may exist between buyer and seller and as legal protection should a deal not go forward. Most transportation business brokers offer a wide range of services designed to guide clients through the red tape and legalese that is involved with buying, selling, and merging a company.
I like that you provided some tips for having a successful company merger such as preserving a positive and cooperative workplace culture. It is important that employees are able to adapt and adjust to the different personalities of their colleagues. One way to promote camaraderie and teamwork is by conducting a teambuilding every now and then. Management may even want to consider planning a company outing or picnic. This way, there will be a smoother transition of the two companies that merged. If I were a part of a merger, I would make sure to keep this in mind. Thanks.

Have you ever seen a black petunia? Not dark, dark purple but really black. I found some at my fav garden center. They're amazing!
I have never seen a black petunia, and was just thinking that next spring maybe I will take a trip to Palmyra and we could go to your garden center. i would love to get some!
That is new to me, too. It's a really interesting look. Almost looks velvety.
Yes, they read black with just a slight hint of purple. Like black velvet with a sheen. I saw them at Home Depot or Lowes and used them as part of a UGA garden for a client.
Yes, we've had them here in NY. Marvelous!
Yes I have those and also the black pin striped ones. They are so pretty!
Wow. I've never seen one before. Do you have a close up?
@Miriam I, Sorry I don't have a close up, I'll try to get one soon. @Terri J, That would be great!
OK, no rush. I'd love to share a picture of one on our facebook page. It's so special!
Love these but have never seen them in NC !
I've never seen them before and they are beautiful! I love them and as long as you pinch back the dead flowers, they will soon begin to overflow! Who's your favorite garden center --can't be Home Depot or OSH !!!
Yes, I have been waiting for 2 years for them since I saw them in Better Homes and Gardens. I paired mine with "lemonade" petunias...a soft yellow with a very soft outline on the perimeter of pink. Lovely little plants!
Yes i have. Planted them in the middle of a large container with a white flowers all the way around. Going to be awesome. Purchased at Kaw Valley Greenhouses.
Just beautiful. Glad to know about them.
We grow them in Canada. It blooms like any other kind of petunia all summer long.

Norton Rose Fulbright is seeking a global CFO as a senior appointment to the global executive team. This is a fascinating and challenging role for a skilled senior finance professional used to operating at the top table of a professional services organisation.
The global CFO will have finance qualifications and strong core finance skills established over time and will need to be comfortable operating with ambiguity. He or she will be an integral member of the top team of a global professional services business with strong local roots around the world. The appointee will report to the global CEO (Peter Martyr) whose vision and delivery has led the firm’s growth. He leads a core global executive team of five including the global CFO, global director of people and culture, managing partner, integration and global director of marketing and communications. The global CFO will also be a member of the larger global executive committee (Excom) and the smaller group of global managing partners, which includes the five regional managing partners together with the core global executive team.
Norton Rose Fulbright operates a Verein structure and each region remunerates its partners out of their own regional profit pools. Each region contributes to the central global costs of supporting the Verein. The global CFO will need to have strong interpersonal and persuasive skills. This will be crucial in order to both deliver business as usual and to stimulate and effect change. He or she will need to understand the dynamics and culture of partnerships and will need to build consensus for change, rather than operating through central diktat or mandate. This will be essential as the firm continues on its path to closer global integration.
A key enabler to the firm operating seamlessly is the 2020 transformation programme, in which the firm is presently part way through. This programme is being led full time by a managing partner responsible for integration. An outsourced global service centre (GSC) has been established in Manila and this is up and running with transactional activities being transferred progressively. A global practice management system (GPMS) operating on a SAP platform is due for launch worldwide in September 2017 and this will be a key enabler of firm inter-operability. Crucially it will enable a common operating and finance "language" through the organisation and common ways of working, so facilitating the path to fuller global integration. Much of the planning for the new organisation is complete, although there remain areas for input to the debate on the optimal finance structure. The managing partner for transformation is leading the 2020 programme and the global CFO will inherit a largely agreed finance, operating and reporting platform. The global CFO will play a key role in the implementation of GPMS and will lead on the development of the ongoing post implementation finance structure, working alongside the five regional COOs and regional CFOs.
The global CFO has limited line management and operational responsibilities. With regards to the Verein the role is presently supported by a skilled and experienced senior finance manager (a Chartered Accountant) in London, who has been with the firm both in the UK and overseas, for 13 years. He is supported by a recently recruited finance assistant. The senior manager is a crucial asset and is the key financial and operating knowledge repository of the Verein. The global CFO has dotted line responsibility for finance in the regions through the COO/CFO network. The global CFO will also have accountability for the newly established Finance Community of Excellence. The group has been established to provide policy, business process and application expertise in support of the new global practice management system (GPMS). This team of 17 FTE is critical to ensuring the initial stabilization of the system and subsequently will be responsible for helping the firm make the most of the new capabilities the GPMS provides. It is anticipated that this group will grow over time as activities transition from the regional Finance teams.
The firm is presently debating how fast and how fully to integrate its activities globally. Therefore the global CFO will be involved in these ongoing discussions and informing the financial debate and decisions. Thereafter the global CFO will be involved in implementing agreed changes on the path to integration. So the role is most unlikely to be a static one and in consequence will appeal to a candidate who enjoys and is stimulated by change, challenge and a level of uncertainty, but with an opportunity to shape an outcome for the better. The global CFO will need to really understand the nuances of global versus local decisions and operations and an ability to see what works best in each given situation that is encountered. The role will almost certainly not appeal to a candidate who is seeking a regular CFO role in steady state.
The role could be based in London or New York.

That statement is healthily corrective in a climate that too much looks for someone or something to blame. What do I mean?
In many circles today there is prevalent the idea that our personal failures are in fact the result of political failures. Simply put, what this means is that many of the things that go wrong with us, in our marriages, in our families, and in our professional lives, are the result of us, ourselves, first being victimized and wounded by the failure of others.
We fail because, first of all, others have failed us… and those others who failed us were themselves, first of all, failed by a system which victimized them.
Often this insight is summarized in the axiom: the personal is political and the political is personal. In that statement lies the essence of the feminist critique as well as the central insight that is articulated in much of the literature produced by those who are working with victims of poverty, racism, sexual and physical abuse, alcohol, and simple neglect.
Nobody today can credibly comment on the ills that afflict us without knowing and appreciating that personal failures are often the result of someone first being herself or himself victimized.
But there is something important which is usually missing in all this and this must be named, otherwise the prescription that is assigned for our ills will not fully address the disease. Incomplete diagnosis will not lead to sound treatment.
What’s missing? Simply put: a concept of original sin. When Barbara Boggs Sigmund says we prefer culpability to chaos she is pointing this out. We prefer to blame someone or something rather than accepting, at a point, that many of our inadequacies and tensions are implicit in the human condition itself and are nobody’s fault. In essence, that is the concept of original sin.
Unlike previous generations which over-used this concept, we tend not to use it at all—and are poorer for it. Where former generations spoke of original sin as the root of all evil, we blame something else.
Thus, by way of an example, for radical feminism, patriarchy functions as original sin. It is seen to be ultimately responsible for the greed, violence, injustice, competition and bad relationships that plague our lives. In its view, what looks like personal failure and personal inadequacy has, in fact, a root cause far beyond ourselves and our present lives. We are far from what we should be but much of it isn’t our fault. It’s the fault of patriarchy.
This kind of analysis is common in many circles, from social justice groups to those who analyze alcohol and drug dependency. These groups also generally finger a culprit (who usually is guilty!) and make that someone or something carry much of what was traditionally carried by our first parents, namely, responsibility for many of our present frustrations and failures.
And there’s much to be said for this. As Gloria Steinem’s recent book Revolution from Within attempts to demonstrate, only when our personal failures are understood within the context of their root causes (most of which pre-date any personal responsibility) can we develop the healthy self-esteem and self-love we need to live more adequate and happy lives.
But what’s missing in all this is precisely something which the old concept of original sin gave us, namely, an explanation for inadequacy that rested more on chaos than on culpability—and thus gave us permission to live lives of quiet desperation without needing to blame anybody.
Whatever else it meant, or didn’t mean, the classical doctrine of original sin taught that much of what is wrong with us is implicit in the human condition itself.
We can be saved from much misdirected anger by understanding that. A lot of our moral and relational inadequacies, a lot of our pains and frustrations, and a lot of the reason why most of our potential dies long before we do, is best coped with without us blaming anyone.
We do not live in a perfect world and the reason for that has at least as much to do with chaos as with culpability.

What are the key ethical questions facing Jews and Jewish communities today? How can scholars, rabbis and communal leaders discuss ethics in a way that impacts how people behave in the real world?
“Jewish Values & the Ethical Now: A Conference in Celebration of Rabbi David A. Teutsch, Ph.D” will test a new model for exploring such questions. Organized by the Levin-Lieber Program in Jewish Ethics, a project of the Reconstructionist Rabbinical College’s Center for Jewish Ethics, the conference will take place on March 10-11 at the National Museum of American Jewish History in Philadelphia. The gathering of academics, public intellectuals, religious leaders and members of the public will honor the career of Teutsch, a pioneering scholar and Reconstructionist movement leader who has taught two generations of rabbis, and made ethical concepts accessible and relevant to the broader public.
The conference as a whole will include representatives of the four largest branches of Judaism — Conservative, Orthodox, Reconstructionist and Reform — as well as one Christian theologian, Rev. Katie Day, Ph.D. Wasserman explained that the conference will focus on issues of power and gender, which in the era of the #MeToo movement have often been discussed in a political context, but also raise many ethical concerns. A session moderated by Rabbi Jacob Staub, Ph.D., a leading thinker of the Reconstructionist movement, will also focus on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict from an ethical perspective.
Please consult the conference schedule of programs.
This is the first public conference taking place under Wasserman’s leadership and, in many ways, represents a passing of the baton from one scholar/rabbi to another.
Since becoming director of the Ethics Center in 2017, Wasserman has introduced a focus on power and gender, launching a project called the “Torah of #MeToo.” Teutsch praised Wasserman as a scholar, administrator and public voice, adding that it will be gratifying to watch the direction she takes the center.

Your Most Gluttonous Meal Ever?
What and where was your most gluttonous meal experience ever? Do you even remember? Or were you left in a lead-bellied, food-overload haze of bacon grease, donut glaze and salty chocolate crumbs? I asked some of the country’s most famed eaters this very question because, well, it’s nice to know I’m not the only one who loves to pig out.
“I had a Kashmiri Wazwan a few years back in the home of Rohit Bal, the Isaac Mizrahi of India. The crowd was decadent and seemed like a cross between a Bollywood movie and Warhol’s Factory back in its heyday. The food was 30 some odd courses of traditional lamb dishes, from curries and braises to milky lamb balls and fiery lamb ribs. We documented the evening in my Delhi episode of ‘Bizarre Foods’ but nothing could do justice to the event itself, sitting around a living room, reclining on pillows, served by a fleet of specialized servants and eating enough food for an army… and this from a man who has eaten whole cows in Argentina and survived a day and half of eating with Martin Picard in Montreal.

Racing at RANDWICK for week 2 of The Championships and incredibly fine weather in Sydney again! Penetrometer 5.19, and currently looking at a GOOD (4) surface.
RAIL: +3M (ENTIRE CIRCUIT). We head to RANDWICK with the rail out +3M, after being in the TRUE position last week, when those closer to the pace had an advantage. Hoping for an even track (pace dependant), again expecting no disadvantage to be closer to the pace, but as always be sure to keep a close eye on early races for best guide.
Race 1: We start with the two year olds in the Listed China Horse Club Mile over you guessed it 1600m. Doesn’t look to be much pace on paper here, hence pace/tactics and how track is playing, set to be key. From the much better gate, happy to give ARISTOCRATIC MISS another chance at $4.80+ with LADBROKES, BOOKMAKERS.COM.AU, BETSTAR and CROWNBET, after being on last time when very good from the rear from a wide gate. That’s been the case past three when forced to position further back but don’t see why they don’t push forward from barrier 2. Then, also want to play BOLD ARIAL at a juicy $14+ with POINTSBET. Will be right on the pace, and form around Fiesta and Aylmerton looks good for a race like this. Main dangers RHEINGAU and FUTOOH.
Race 2: Next is a Listed event for the three year olds, over 1400m. Even race, pace/tatics key with speed map a little hard to predict with absolute certainty. Slight lean to **RENEWAL** here at $4.40+ with LADBROKES, BOOKMAKERS.COM.AU and BETSTAR for the in-form Hawkes stable. Can ill afford to do things wrong, but in the right stable to correct things for this better grade race. May well lead this group and if so can be very hard to catch. Happy to make a BEST VLAUE bet of the day. Main danger the class in the field TORVILL whose chances improve if ridden more positively from the better gate after drawing 11, 9, 11, 8, 10 at past five, but draws 3 here.
Race 3: Now for the Group 2 Percy Skyes Stakes for the 2YO fillies over 1200m. Very competitive race, most with legitimate winning claims. Slight lean here with FIESTA at a tidy $6.40+ (BETFAIR) after we have been on past two when running very well on both occasions without winning. Was enormous in the Slipper from wide gate and impossible position, but was only 3.3L at the finish. The one to beat and hoping they settle not too far behind them and ideally one off the fence. Also, want something on OUTBACK BARBIE at a tidy $10+ with POINTSBET. Has done very little wrong in short career and well and truly up to this grade. Happy to play around the two, but throw a blanket over the rest and nothing would surprise.
Race 4: Next is the Provincial Championships Final over 1400m and there looks to be much better pace in the race here. This is tough and looks a near raffle, which normally means delve deep and look for value, however in this instance have to go with the Group 1 Coolmore form, and that means favourite JUST DREAMING at $4+ with POINTSBET. Beaten just 1L in hot Group 1 last time, which means we need to enforce the ‘best horse’ rule on this occasion in this grade, despite the sticky gate. Hugh Bowman to hopefully offset that and hopefully track even enough to win away from the fence, pace dependant. Main danger MANHATTAN MIST who was only 0.7L from the top pick two back and had excuses so must be a big chance here. Throw a blanket over the rest.
Race 5: Next is the Group 2 Arrowfield Sprint for the 3YOs over 1200m and as always a cracking race. White-hot field and you’d be a brave man/woman to say anything can’t win. Like PARIAH here ta a tidy $7+ with POINTSBET, CROWNBET, BET365 and BETFAIR. Won the trial which had us find Spright a couple of weeks’ back and now hopefully get another winner out of the trial although at about half the odds, but still good each way value. You’d expect this to be run in very good time, hence need a runner capable of running around or below the 1.09.00 mark and that’s what the colt did three back when second to Menari in the Run to Rose also at Group 2 level. Needs to repeat that run and ideally even improve. Main dangers VIRIDINE, I AM EXCITED and BOOKER but doesn’t end there. Super race!
Race 6: And now for the first of four consecutive Group 1s, starting with the Australian Oaks for the 3YO fillies to be run over 2400m. Good race, but don’t see any reason why HIYAAM can’t win again here at a respectable enough $5+ with UBET. Has attracted good early money and rightly so. Will make own luck up front and looks to be the one who has really made the transition this prep. Then, also want to have a WIN only play on ALOISIA at $7+ with POINTSBET. Prior to this prep was the class filly, however came back looking a much more dour filly (that was clear and known before her first run, remember Rimraam at 30/1? I sure do…J) and as a result looks set to peak ironically in the race where she got smashed in the Spring when an almost unbackable favourite in the Vic Oaks. Happy to play around the two, main dangers SAVVY COUP, LUVALUVA and DANZDANZDANCE. Doesn’t end there.
Race 7: Next is the Queen Elizabeth where superstar WINX goes for 25 straight wins and having drawn 10 of 10, this is a no bet race for mine and I just want to hope like hell the superstar can get the job done. Besides Kementari, probably has the next best three here in the form of HAPPY CLAPPER, HUMIDOR and GAILO CHOP, especially at this distance and as a result, this won’t be any walk in the part, nor should it be in a Group 1 worth more than $4 million! She’ll have the nation behind her, she’s the best I’ve personally ever seen, but you just know she needs to get the job done here or the doubters and knockers will come out in force. Go you good thing!
Race 8: Next is the Group 1 Sydney Cup run over the infamous two mile, 3200m distance. Very good race, with plenty of legitimate winning chances. Like a few here at juicy double figure price tags in the form of old mate WHO SHOT THEBARMAN at $16+ (POINTSBET), LORD FANDANGO at $16+ (most operators) and AUVRAY at $14+ with UBET. Given the odds on offer, happy to stagger plays around the three. WHO SHOT THEBARMAN put in the perfect Sydney Cup trial last time and if it wasn’t for his age, then that run would equate to being close to favourite here. Proven two-mile performer at the highest level and he doesn’t know how old he is. LORD FANDANGO I would’ve backed in a Melbourne Cup last Spring after what was a sensational run in the Caulfield Cup, but wasn’t in the mix and run two back in the Australia Cup was very good against the pattern. Was okay last start on unsuitable wet track, enough to hopefully say the Sydney way of going shouldn’t be an issue, as it is the main query. Finally AUVRAY gets in very well at the weights here, looks like 3200m will suit and is in career best form for mine. Main dangers ALMANDIN (best horse), PRESTWICK (the big unknown here from Japan, their gallopers always seem to go well here) and SIR CHARLES ROAD who was very good last time and gets in very well at the weights here. Very good edition of the race.
Race 9: Penultimate event is the last of the Group 1s in the form of the Coolmore Legacy and as you always get with these Group 1 fillies and mare events, especially over the mile, very competitive. There’s simply plenty of chances, with pace/tactics/how track is playing and most likely plenty of luck in running all set to play parts in the result here. Going to play around a few at big odds here, each of which I obviously believe are realistic winning chances despite their price tag. They are *SAMOVARE* at $29+ (POINTSBET), ECKSTEIN at $20+ (LADBROKES, BOOKMAKERS.COM.AU, BETSTAR, POINTSBET) and finally longshot *NETTOYER* at a very juicy $61+ with POINTSBET. SAMOVARE has been going well without winning but would’ve been set for this mile contest and the extra distance looks ideal. Drawn well, will get right pace/conditions here to ensure no excuses. Comes down to ability now. Despite us being super keen on Shoals in the Myer Classic on Derby day, we also liked ECKSTEIN at 60/1 who was inches from a huge boilover (and would’ve been much better for our quaddie ;-)). Back to that trip and level and looks right in this on current form. Probably doesn’t have the consistency of many of those shorter in the market, but is more than capable on her day. Then, *NETTOYER* who is the real blowout hope here and underrated for mine. Been close in very good races against many of the fancied types and despite dropping down from 1900m, form v price warrants a play and happy to make a BEST LONGSHOT bet of the day. And given the price on offer for *SAMOVARE*, and upon reflection of the rest of the card/suggestions, will also make a BEST LONGSHOT bet of the day. Main dangers DIXIE BLOSSOMS, SILENT SEDITION, PAYROLL and PROMPT RESPONSE. Doesn’t end there.
Race 10: We finish a huge day and another year of The Championships with the Group 2 TAB Sapphire Stakes, for the fillies and mares over 1200m. Don’t see any reason why **QUILISTA** can’t win again at a respectable enough $4.80+ here with most operators. Been simply brilliant winning past two and when the Weir stable have them winning, they normally continue winning. Any bias/advantage to those up front will obviously only help. Confident enough to make another BEST VALUE bet of the day. Then, similarly LUBITON at a juicy $19+ with POINTSBET. Cost us dearly on Cox Plate day when we were super keen on Savapinski who had to chase this mare all the way and as a result remained 2nd from start to finish. Normally flies fresh, on good ground and from barrier 1 can lead and make own luck up front. Chances are the two sit 1-2, hence obviously don’t want them slitting each other’s throats. Shinn and Lane surely smart enough to keep enough in the tank. Main dangers SPRIGHT (so good to us last time against the pattern of the day), GHISONI and SUGAR BELLA.
Average odds $14.08+ per suggested runner!

There are many differences between transformative and problem solving mediation. The only similarity is that each uses a third party to assist the disputing parties to begin dealing with the dispute in a new way. What that “new way” is, however, differs considerably from one process to the other. Problem-solving or “settlement-oriented” mediation, which is by far the dominant approach in the field today, is just what the name implies–it is focused on solving a problem by obtaining a settlement.
The settlement-oriented mediator usually explains that this is the purpose at the outset and defines a process that will assist the parties to work toward that goal. All of the mediators actions also are designed to facilitate that outcome. Emotions which might escalate anger and thus prevent a settlement are controlled. Issues that are non-negotiable are diverted, while parties are encouraged to focus on negotiable interests. Mediators tend to discourage a discussion of the past, as that often involves blame which can make progress more difficult. Rather, parties are encouraged to focus on what they want in the future, and develop ways in which their interests can be met simultaneously.
Sometimes the settlement-oriented mediator acts more like an arbitrator than a transformative mediator, proposing a solution and working hard to “sell” it to the parties. (An arbitrator’s decision is binding; he or she does not have to “sell” it. However, the settlement oriented mediator sometimes acts like an arbitrator when he or she takes the role of the “expert,” and comes up with the settlement provisions for the parties.) Settlement-oriented mediators often try to keep the parties moving forward, encouraging them to move from one “stage” to the next as quickly as possible and using a deadline as an inducement to come to an agreement.
Transformative mediators work very differently. They explain in the opening statement that mediation provides a forum for the parties to talk about their problem with a neutral third party present. This can be helpful, it is explained, to clarify the nature of the problem from both parties’ points of view and for developing a range of options available for dealing with the situation. This process should help the clients make better choices about how to proceed and may help them better understand the views of the other person. This understanding may enable the clients to reach a mutually satisfactory solution, or it may suggest other approaches for handling the situation. Thus settlement is presented as one, but clearly not the only possible successful outcome of mediation.
Usually, transformative mediators will then work with the parties to develop goals, ground rules, and a process they want to use. Mediators will make suggestions about process and ask questions (usually to encourage either empowerment or recognition of the other), but they will not direct the conversation, nor will they suggest options for settlement. This is the parties’ job. Bush and Folger describe the mediator’s job as “following the parties around,” helping them clarify for themselves and for the other what their real concerns are and how they want to see them addressed. Sometimes, recognition by the other is all that is really needed to reach mutual satisfaction. Other times, parties must go beyond this to negotiate interests. Interest-based negotiation is, of course, allowed in a transformative process–but it usually shares center stage with the discussion of feelings and relationship issues.
The definition of success also differs in the two kinds of mediation. Typically, settlement- oriented mediation is not considered successful unless a settlement is reached. Transformative mediation, however, is successful if one or both parties becomes empowered to better handle their own situation and/or the parties better recognize the concerns and issues of the other side. Very often, the empowerment and recognition gained by the parties allows them to develop a mutually agreeable outcome. However, according to Bush and Folger, the opposite is not as often the case–the settlement-oriented mediation process does not lead to empowerment and recognition, as it tends to ignore the relationship issues in favor of the narrower and more concrete interests.
Note: These are idealized descriptions. Actual mediators will hold these ideas and follow these actions to lesser or a greater degree.
Mediator actions Mediator explains concept of mediation, but lets parties set goals, direct process, design ground rules. Makes it clear settlement is only one of a variety of possible outcomes. Mediator explains goal is settlement, designs process to achieve settlement, sets ground rules. May consult parties about these issues, but mediator takes lead.
Mediators allow parties to take discussions where they want them to go; encouraging discussion of all issues that are of importance to the parties, regardless of whether or not they are easily negotiable; Mediators encourage mutual recognition of relational and identity issues as well as needs and interests Mediators direct the discussions, dropping issues which are not amenable to negotiation (for example, relational or identity issues) and focusing on areas “ripe” for resolution (usually negotiable interests).
Mediators encourage an examination of the past as a way of encouraging recognition of the other Mediators discourage discussion of the past, as it tends to lead to blaming behaviors, focus instead is on the present and future–how to solve the current problem.
Emotions are seen as an integral part of the conflict process; mediators encourage their expression Emotions are seen as extraneous to “real issues.” Mediators try to avoid parties’ emotional statements, or emotions are tightly controlled.
In the opening statement, the transformative mediator will explain the mediator’s role and the objectives of mediation as being focused on empowerment and recognition.
The transformative mediator will leave responsibility for the outcomes with the parties.
A transformative mediator will not be judgmental about the parties’ views and decisions.
Transformative mediators take an optimistic view of the parties’ competence and motives.
Transformative mediators allow and are responsive to parties’ expression of emotions.
Transformative mediators allow for and explor parties’ uncertainty.
Transformative mediators are responsive to parties’ statements about past events.

ROCHESTER, NY (WXXI) – A ban by New York on state-sponsored travel to North Carolina due to a policy on bathroom use is causing some controversy and some changes for SUNY student athletes.
A total of 13 students, swimmers and divers from some SUNY schools want to compete in the NCAA Division III national championships later this month in Greensboro, N.C.
But, New York bars unnecessary state-sponsored travel to North Carolina after the state passed a bill in 2016 that required people in government buildings to use bathrooms that correspond to the gender on their birth certificate. The bill was later repealed, but legislators in North Carolina still prevented local governments from passing non-discrimination legislation until 2020.
Ten of the students are from SUNY Geneseo, two from the College at Brockport, and one from SUNY Cortland.
The New York travel ban means that the students competing in North Carolina, beginning March 20, will have to stay in Virginia, about an hour away.
A SUNY Geneseo alumnus set up a GoFundMe page to raise money privately for the students to be able to stay closer to the swim meeting, but there’s no indication yet whether they will try and take advantage of that offer.
On Thursday, some Republican New York State legislators including Senators Patrick Gallivan and Robert Ortt of Western New York, Daphne Jordan of the Albany area, and Assemblywoman Marjorie Byrnes of Livingston County called for Governor Andrew Cuomo to rescind the travel ban so that the student-athletes can stay closer to the competition site.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Bosse12 from I am Addicted to this Stuff!!!! I absolutely love this peppermint foot lotion! I've tried other brands and none of them are as good as this one. However, I wish it was more easily available. I live in the Houston, TX area and can never find it in any of the stores- all I find is the coconut. However, the coconut fragrance is not nearly nice as the peppermint. The minty smell keeps my feet smelly nice and minty all day long. I've noticed many times that the coconut version is always available, but knocked over on the shelves because people are always looking for the peppermint. It's the best product you make!
Rated 5 out of 5 by Bumble from Best on Sore Feet I work on my feet and this is a God send at the end of the day. There is a minty smell which is relaxing and it is very moisturizing and helps my feet feel soft. More than anything though this is the greatest at that tingly feeling. 100% natural and I can hardly believe how great this stuff is. It tingles the soreness away in a few seconds. It's so refreshing and helps wake my tired feet up. When I go on long hikes this is a MUST have in my backpack. As good as it feels on my sore feet at the end of a work day - it is that much better at the end of a long day of hiking. It's so great I keep a "travel" size (from a gift pack) in my purse all the time! Fantastic!
Rated 5 out of 5 by Megsahoot from Love this stuff! I have been using this product for a little over a week and I have to say I look forward to using this cream before bed... it makes my feet feel amazing!
Rated 5 out of 5 by AlexofLouisville from A must have! Burt's bees hit the bulls-eye with this foot lotion; it couldn't get any better. If your feet are sore and tired this is a great pick-me-up. It cools your feet and refreshes them from a hard days work and makes them soft and smooth. I recommend using it before bed to help you relax and fall asleep, especially on hot summer nights, and for those really rough days I use the pumice stone that Burt's Bee's makes before applying the lotion. Not only will your feet feel better the next day, but your whole body will!
Rated 5 out of 5 by WorkerBee from No more dry feet I, like most people I assume, get dry feet. Nothing that requires medication or anything of the like, but the back of my heels and around the edges are rough to the touch sometimes. After one application, that's one time, I noticed the different. After one week of applying after the shower, there was even more noticeable difference. Yes it smells great! But it feels good going on and does not make your feet sweat when you stuff them in socks only a few minutes after application. After 6 months of usage, I highly recommend it. Normal lotion does not keep my feet moisturized, but this does.

In my colleague Ben Casselman’s article this week on the Internal Revenue Service’s side-eyed guidance for all of the people rushing to prepay property taxes, he quoted some words of warning from Andy Grewal, a professor of tax law at the University of Iowa.
Mr. Grewal said homeowners who usually paid their property taxes through an escrow account via their mortgage servicer could end up facing an audit if they prepaid at their local assessor’s office this time. That’s because the tax payments the individuals report to the I.R.S. on their tax forms could differ from what the banks would report on the separate forms they use when reporting mortgage activity to the government. Differing figures raise questions at the I.R.S.
That got me wondering: Couldn’t you just call your bank and ask it to update the figure it puts on its own forms? It turns out the answer may be no, but this issue is not simple or consistent among banks, either.
Mr. Grewal was right to worry about this issue, given the number of people with escrow accounts. According to the Mortgage Bankers Association, 79 percent of borrowers had escrow accounts in 2016 from which they paid property taxes on their primary mortgage.
But not all banks report property tax payments on the form they generate, Form 1098. Wells Fargo and Quicken Loans say they do report property tax payments on the form. And no, alas, you cannot call them up and ask them to add whatever you are paying on your own to what was already sent from the escrow account this year. They will not adjust the figure.
Apparently, though, there is no legal requirement for a bank to report property taxes paid from an escrow account at all. Bank of America and Chase do not report it. Bank of America was fulfilling requests for additional property tax payments from people who already had property tax bills in hand, but it stopped doing so on Tuesday.
Also, here’s an alert for a possible future headache: If you do prepay and have a mortgage and an escrow account, it may be a hassle (or impossible) to get the bank to adjust the original 2018 property tax payment schedule that it set on your behalf. You will want to let the bank know what you did and ask it to make whatever adjustments it can.
So people who want to prepay before Sunday but avoid trouble with the I.R.S. are faced with an interesting set of questions. If you’re sure that your jurisdiction has officially assessed taxes that you can prepay and deduct this year, but you have a mortgage with Wells Fargo or Quicken Loans, you will probably have no problem if the I.R.S. hassles you about differing amounts on different forms. But would the agency also then help itself to a look at other parts of your tax return? And have you toed the line on some of those other parts, or stepped over it?
People who have mortgages with Bank of America and Chase and may feel they are in the clear because of a lack of conflicting tax forms, even if their local taxing authority has not been precise on whether prepayments fall in line with the guidance that the I.R.S. issued this week. But beware: If your property tax deduction is much higher in 2017 than it was in 2016 without your having changed residences, that could be its own flag for some line of audit-sniffing code that the I.R.S. has written or will write in the next few weeks.
As always in matters like these, it’s best to consult tax professionals, even if they, too, lack a crystal ball or the skills necessary to read between the lines on I.R.S. guidance.
An earlier version of this article misstated whether Quicken Loans notes property tax payments on forms they submit to the government. The company does report the payments. The article also misstated where on the tax form the company reports the tax payments. The company reports it on the second page of the form, not on Line 10.

Losing or damaging a tooth due to trauma can be a scary and unnerving experience. Equally as frightening is waking up to a severe toothache or a dental abscess. Knowing how to deal with these situations can help you stay calm and collected and get the treatment you and your condition require. Learn more about what to do after a dental emergency with Dr. Kern Agader at Dental Perfections in Kapolei, HI.
Lost Tooth: If a tooth becomes dislodged or gets knocked out, it is important to stay calm. If possible, retrieve the lost tooth. Hold it by its crown (top) and do not touch its roots. If the tooth is dirty, rinse it with water, but do not scrub any tissue remaining on the roots. Gently try to replace the tooth into its socket, stopping if this task requires any force or is painful. If this is not possible, store the tooth in a container of milk and see your dentist immediately for the necessary treatment.
Dental Abscess: A dental abscess occurs due to an infected tooth and presents itself as a pimple-like bump located on the gum. If you cannot get in to see your Kapolei dentist immediately, try rinsing your mouth with salt water and applying a cold compress to decrease pain or swelling. Do not “wait it out”. Due to its location and severity, the infection can spread to other parts of the body.
Broken or Damaged Tooth: A damaged or broken tooth requires dental care as soon as possible. If your tooth is bleeding, apply gauze to the area to try and stop the bleeding. Use a cold compress to relieve pain or swelling and see your dentist as soon as you can.
Chipped Tooth: A chipped tooth is not always a dental emergency though it can be alarming. If your tooth is chipped and not bleeding or cracked, retrieve the part of the tooth which has chipped off and bring it with you to your dental appointment.
Toothache: A toothache is a sign that decay has reached the inner pulp chamber of your tooth. This usually requires a root canal to clear out the infected tissues. Receiving the proper treatment early can decrease the risk of the tooth breaking or becoming more painful.
To learn more about what to do in a dental emergency, please contact Dr. Agader at Dental Perfections in Kapolei, HI. Call (808) 674-8895 to schedule your appointment with Dr. Agader today!

Five years ago, we launched the BVP Cloud Index, which became the benchmark for the rapidly expanding universe of public cloud computing companies. Today, in partnership with Nasdaq, we’re excited to unveil the next generation of our cloud index: the BVP Nasdaq Emerging Cloud Index, an industry index designed to track the performance of emerging public companies primarily involved in providing cloud software to their customers. The index, listed as EMCLOUD, brings together the complementary expertise of Nasdaq, which has a long-established history of creating indexes, and Bessemer Venture Partners, which has been at the forefront of investing in cloud computing companies over the past two decades.
Because we’ve long believed in the power of the cloud, in addition to launching the BVP Cloud Index, we have also worked to plant our flag in the ground (or rather, the cloud) in other ways. We’ve published the 10 laws of cloud computing and our annual State of the Cloud report, co-produced The Cloud 100 with Forbes to celebrate the leading private cloud companies, and partnered with 150 cloud companies that have gone on to produce 11 IPOs, dozens of sizable M&A exits, and many of today’s most valuable private cloud companies.
The cloud industry’s growth potential is tremendous. In fact, when the BVP Index launched in 2013 its market cap was under $100 billion. Today the market cap is close to $700 billion, and there are five times as many public cloud companies as there were ten years ago. Now with the BVP Nasdaq Emerging Cloud Index, cloud has matured to the point that it is primed to have a stock market index to call its own!
While cloud computing has become the most important trend in the software industry, a decade ago the dominance of the cloud was far from obvious. Eventually, the acknowledgment of specific product and business model advantages gradually cemented cloud as the status quo for computing.
On the product side, deploying via cloud allowed companies to push software updates quickly, efficiently, and at scale; to more easily expand into foreign markets, and to automate service delivery such that customer acquisition could happen 24/7. And on the business side, companies benefited from predictable, annuity-like revenue, lower R&D costs without the need to support multiple stacks, and higher customer stickiness.
Customers, on the other hand, were happy to move their costs from CapEx to OpEx, enjoy a lower barrier to trying services without a contract lock-in, and pick software solutions feature by feature. There were a few drawbacks to cloud such as working capital requirements that require a lot of up-front cash, but over time investors understood the beneficial cash flow payoff implications of steepening a cloud company’s growth curve up-front. Today, the question is not, “Why should you be a cloud company?” but, “Will your growth continue?”.
As we look back, it’s important to remember the growth of cloud is far from over. Over the next few years, we will see new cloud trends materialize from the continued rise of the developer to the propagation of verticalization, software-defined infrastructure models, machine learning enablement, and payments-as-a-service. As companies leveraging these trends continue to grow, we will see more waves of cloud IPOs and cloud computing will continue to be a dominant force worth market time and attention.
While past performance is not indicative of future results, the cloud computing industry is well positioned to continue on its growth trajectory. We hope the BVP Nasdaq Emerging Cloud Index will offer industry participants a benchmark for the performance of the emerging public cloud computing market.
We leveraged our deep expertise in Cloud to develop an objective definition that categorizes companies in the industry, and we partnered with Nasdaq, given their long-established history of creating indexes and ability to deliver the most accurate real-time data. There are a number of companies in the BVP Nasdaq Emerging Cloud Index that were not part of the BVP Cloud Index due to the new index’s refined eligibility requirements. For example, Adobe is included in the initial index given that it has masterfully transitioned to a cloud company, and 2018 cloud IPOs DocuSign, Dropbox, Zuora, and Zscaler have been included as well. Additionally, given the partnership with Nasdaq, we believe the new benchmark will be even more reflective of the sector’s performance as the index will be calculated on an equal-weighted basis and employ Nasdaq’s index maintenance and rebalancing standards.
In addition, EMCLOUD has increased ~370% since 2013, versus the Nasdaq Composite, S&P, and Dow that increased approximately 120%, 75%, and 75%, respectively. LTM EMCLOUD increased approximately 85%, while Nasdaq increased approximately 25%, S&P 20%, and Dow 20%.
We appreciate the opportunity to be a part of this ever-expanding cloud community, and we are incredibly excited to continue to provide the benchmark for the growth cloud industry, now in partnership with Nasdaq. We look forward to welcoming more companies added to this index over time.

‘Is there anything else I can help you with?’ is a common way for a customer service representative to end a telemarketing call. Once the main script is over and the caller has been signed up to learn more about a new product or canvassed on their opinion of a company, this signals the end of the call to most people.
A polite ‘no thanks’ is usually the response, but it is also a cue for the customer to ask any other questions they may have about the company or its products. And sometimes, after listening to a customer ranting on for several minutes, it may be better if the CSR chooses not to ask the question. After all, the irate customer has just made it plain that the company is not their favourite organisation and maybe even told the unfortunate CSR that they will be cancelling their contract with the firm forthwith.
My usual response, especially when a call handler has gone above and beyond to help me solve a problem, is usually to come out with some variation on, ‘no, I think that’s enough for you to be dealing with for now, isn’t it?’ thank them and end the call. Everyone from receptionists to hospital staff seems to be using the phrase these days, and coming up with a different reply each time keeps me on my toes and engaged with them as well as distracting me from the fact that – yet again – I’m on the phone to a call centre asking for help or listening to them telling me about products I probably won’t buy, but will express interest in just to be pleasant to the call handler.
One of the advantages of telemarketing firms is that the CSRs are trained to deal with all kinds of responses from their customers or leads. Generally, my default is to give firms my mobile number. If no message is left on a missed call and no text follows, I am unlikely to return the call. Giving mobile numbers as main contact numbers is becoming more frequent, and the very best CSRs will know how to deal with this and may even have a specific script to follow when leaving a message to try and hook the warm lead into ringing back. The smaller offices where staff who handle your initial registration also chase your later renewal are often the best at this. I usually remember the names of the staff I talk to at these smaller brokers and branches, and while they employ the same rules as large telemarketing call centres, these places are more personable because they leave messages and wait for my call back.
When the staff ask ‘Is there anything else I can help you with?’ I am more likely to say, ‘not unless you can help me retire early/lessen my workload/become an overnight millionaire’, thus making them laugh, safe in the knowledge that their call has been completed satisfactorily and there is nothing more they can do to help me with today.

“Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated.” The immortal words of Confucius resonate with anyone who has ever tried to glean useful information from log data.
There are consensus-driven definitions of what exactly log analysis is, but a simplified, accessible explanation might be: to organize log entries into a human-friendly display and make business decisions based on what you learn.
1GB of log data is the equivalent of nearly 700,000 pages of text. Sifting through this manually would take nearly three years, or about the same amount of time it would take to read War and Peace 571 times consecutively (debatable as to which fate is worse). And if you consider that at least a few gigs of log data are produced per day even in small organizations, well… cue the data-parsing apocalypse.
Suffice to say, attempting to make sense of all your logs without some kind of automated assistance will lead to information overload, wasted time and serious staff demoralization.
Investing in a dedicated log analysis platform, be it an in-house build or 3rd-party software, should be seriously considered by the C-level powers.
So the solution appears simple: just find or build an automated analysis platform, right?
Just be careful. Adoption of the wrong platform might just exacerbate the issue. Non-intuitive visualizations and statistical views can lead to hours of screen staring and head scratching.
* Broad collection – Make sure that all the log types you need are supported, including logs that originate from different operating systems, device types, and languages.
* Aggregation – Log entries are structured/written in a wide variety of ways, depending on their point of origin. Aggregation helps clear up this chaos by correlating similar logs together based on their shared patterns or characteristics, e.g. the action performed or users performing them. An aggregation feature should have some level of customization, such as saving logs to user-defined groups for ongoing reference.
* Search – A useful search function goes beyond a mere text box that returns matching log data. It’s important that queries return not only search-specific data results, but also allow users to easily access the context of those results, i.e. what occurred immediately before and after in the log.
* Alerts – A system should alert users to repeated error occurrences, system anomalies, or the absence of typical events. Make sure alert settings can be adjusted to different delivery methods, time intervals and priority levels.
Technologies may change dramatically from year to year, but time still equals money. Less time spent manually hunting bugs and system events leads to earlier and more rapid releases, more time for innovative feature development, and happier users. Those are the essential benefits from the DevOps perspective, but log analysis is a diverse art, and has a surprisingly broad range of uses.
Who does it help beyond DevOps and IT?
Security Engineers can exploit an Analysis platform’s search tools to find suspicious actions or breaches. The ideal platform should save search queries for repeated use, and automate the searches for a regular interval of security checks.
Compliance – Log analysis can help keep your product in line with a range of compliance laws, and a strong automation component can speed up the process of auditing and review.
Marketing and UX – Tools like Google Analytics and HubSpot might generally be considered irreplaceable for usage and engagement analytics. However, log analysis provides the same essential data: user traffic, referrals, usage time, click rates – they’re all in the log.
Though some departments will be resistant to experimenting with what they perceive as a dev-only tool, the C-suite’s collective ears might perk up at the mention of paying for just one multi-purpose analytics platform. This cuts down operational costs associated with buying a litany of analytics softwares for different teams.
The market is flush with out-of-the-box log analysis systems, varying in levels of price, quality and versatility. Be mindful of the level of technical support offered by each, particularly if you plan to use the platform for departments without a dev background.
For those larger organizations that have the time, human capital and financial resources necessary to build in-house, this approach allows for made-to-measure customization for your particular industry and your business’s tech architecture. If this is your first time building in-house software, ponder this statistic during your cost-benefit analysis: the industry of data analytics enterprise software will reach nearly $200 billion in sales volume in the next two years. This is indicative of a general (though not exclusive) preference toward commercial software as opposed to in-house.
Not everyone in your organization has prior familiarity with log analysis in and of itself, but they’re already familiar with its essential goal. In the world of big data, log analysis is merely another reflection of a universal business need today -- that is, to take mass amounts of information our technical environments generate and distill it to the essential info you need in order to constantly improve your product.
