How We Are Preparing For GDPR
Frost & Sullivan already has a consistent level of data protection and security across our organisation.

Our preparation includes: –

  • Information Audit – carrying out a company-wide information audit to identify and assess what personal information we hold, where it comes from, how and why it is processed, where it is stored, and if and to whom it is disclosed.
  • Policies & Procedures – implementing new data protection policies and procedures to meet the requirements and standards of the GDPR and any relevant data protection laws, including:
    • Data Protection – our main policy and procedure document for data protection has been overhauled to meet the standards and requirements of the GDPR. Accountability and governance measures are in place to ensure that we understand and adequately disseminate and evidence our obligations and responsibilities; with a dedicated focus on privacy by design and the rights of individuals.
    • Data Retention & Erasure – we are in the process of updating our retention policy and schedule to ensure that we meet the ‘data minimisation’ and ‘storage limitation’ principles and that personal information is stored, archived and destroyed compliantly and ethically. We are actively working towards putting dedicated erasure procedures in place to meet the new ‘Right to Erasure’ obligation and are aware of when this and other data subject’s rights apply; along with any exemptions, response timeframes and notification responsibilities.
    • Data Breaches – our breach procedures ensure that we have safeguards and measures in place to identify, assess, investigate and report any personal data breach within 72 hours of becoming aware of the breach. Our procedures are robust and have been disseminated to all employees, making them aware of the reporting lines and steps to follow.
    • International Data Transfers & Third-Party Disclosures – where Frost & Sullivan stores or transfers personal information outside the EU, we are actively working towards having procedures and safeguarding measures in place to secure, encrypt and maintain the integrity of the data. Our procedures will include a continual review of the countries with sufficient adequacy decisions, as well as provisions for Binding Corporate Rules; standard data protection clauses or approved codes of conduct for those countries without. We will be carrying out strict due diligence checks with all recipients of personal data to assess and verify that they have appropriate safeguards in place to protect the information, ensure enforceable data subject rights and have effective legal remedies for data subjects where applicable.
    • Data Subject Access Request (DSAR) – we are actively revising our DSAR procedures to accommodate the revised 30-day timeframe for providing the requested information. Our new procedures will detail how to verify the data subject, what steps to take for processing an access request, what exemptions apply and a suite of response templates to ensure that communications with data subjects are compliant, consistent and adequate.
  • Legal Basis for Processing – we are reviewing all processing activities to identify the legal basis for processing and ensuring that each basis is appropriate for the activity it relates to. Where applicable, we also maintain records of our processing activities, ensuring that our obligations under Article 30 of the GDPR and Schedule 1 of the Data Protection Bill are met.
  • Privacy Notice/Policy – we are revising our Privacy Notice(s) to comply with the GDPR, ensuring that all individuals whose personal information we process have been informed of why we need it, how it is used, what their rights are, who the information is disclosed to and what safeguarding measures are in place to protect their information.
  • Obtaining Consent – we have revised our consent mechanisms for obtaining personal data, ensuring that individuals understand what they are providing, why and how we use it and giving clear, defined ways to consent to us processing their information. We have developed stringent processes for recording consent, making sure that we can evidence an affirmative opt-in, along with time and date records; and an easy to see and access way to withdraw consent at any time.
  • Direct Marketing – we have revised the wording and processes for direct marketing, including clear opt-in mechanisms for marketing subscriptions; a clear notice and method for opting out and providing unsubscribe features on all subsequent marketing materials.
  • Data Protection Impact Assessments (DPIA) – where we process personal information that is considered high risk, involves large scale processing or includes special category/criminal conviction data; we have developed stringent procedures and assessment templates for carrying out impact assessments that comply fully with the GDPR’s Article 35 requirements. We have implemented documentation processes that record each assessment, allow us to rate the risk posed by the processing activity and implement mitigating measures to reduce the risk posed to the data subject(s).
  • Processor Agreements – where we use any third-party to process personal information on our behalf, we are in the process of drafting compliant Processor Agreements and due diligence procedures for ensuring that they (as well as we), meet and understand their/our GDPR obligations. These measures include initial and ongoing reviews of the service provided, the necessity of the processing activity, the technical and organisational measures in place and compliance with the GDPR.
    • Special Categories Data – where we obtain and process any special category information, we do so in complete compliance with the Article 9 requirements and have high-level encryptions and protections on all such data. Special category data is only processed where necessary and is only processed where we have first identified the appropriate Article 9(2) basis or the Data Protection Bill Schedule 1 condition. Where we rely on consent for processing, this is explicit and is verified by a signature, with the right to modify or remove consent being clearly signposted.

Corporate Events
If we (or our assets) are acquired by another company, whether by merger, acquisition, bankruptcy or otherwise, that company would receive all information gathered by Frost & Sullivan on the Websites. In this event, you will be notified via email and/or a prominent notice on our website, of any change in ownership, uses of your Personal data, and choices you may have regarding your Personal data.

Compelled Disclosure

We reserve the right to use or disclose your Personal data if required by law or if we reasonably believe that use or disclosure is necessary to protect our rights, protect your safety or the safety of others, investigate fraud, or comply with a law, court order, or legal process.

We may use your Identity, Contact, Technical, Usage and Profile Data to form a view on what we think you may want or need, or what may be of interest to you. This is how we decide which products, services and offers may be relevant for you. We only use the data you provide to us directly for this purpose along with the Aggregated Data provided to us by our analytics partners and we do not track what other websites you may visit after visiting our site, though in common with most websites, we may register the site which referred you to our site (e.g. a search engine).

We strive to provide you with choices regarding certain personal data uses, particularly around marketing and advertising.

We generally only send electronic marketing – such as email marketing – to people who have previously bought similar products from us and this is in our legitimate interests. We will always offer a way out of receiving this marketing when you first purchase our products and in every marketing communication afterwards. We may on occasion send out postal marketing for the purpose of growing our sales which is in our legitimate interests and in this scenario we will rely on you to let us know if you do not want to receive this by opting out of marketing (see Opting out below).

Where you have not previously bought from us but have registered your details with us (for example by signing up for a newsletter), we will only send you marketing communications if you opted into receiving marketing at the time and so given us your express consent (which you may withdraw at any time – see Opting out below).

Your Legal Rights – Reviewing, Correcting and Removing Your Personal Data

No Fee Usually Required
You will not have to pay a fee to access your personal data (or to exercise any of the other rights). However, we may charge a reasonable fee if your request is clearly unfounded, repetitive or excessive. Alternatively, we may refuse to comply with your request in these circumstances.

What We May Need From You
We may need to request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity and ensure your right to access your personal data (or to exercise any of your other rights). This is a security measure to ensure that personal data is not disclosed to any person who has no right to receive it. We may also contact you to ask you for further information in relation to your request to speed up our response.

Data Retention

How Long Will You Store My Personal Data For?
We will only retain your personal data for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements.

To determine the appropriate retention period for personal data, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorised use or disclosure of your personal data, the purposes for which we process your personal data and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal requirements. For example, details of your orders will be kept for as long as we need to retain that data to comply with our legal and regulatory requirements.

In some circumstances we may anonymise your personal data (so that it can no longer be associated with you) for research or statistical purposes in which case we may use this information indefinitely without further notice to you.

Time Limit to Respond
We try to respond to all legitimate requests within one month. Occasionally it may take us longer than a month if your request is particularly complex or you have made a number of requests. In this case, we will notify you and keep you updated.

To exercise any of these rights, contact us marking your query for the attention of the DPO.

7 Steps to Create a Compelling Professional Headshot

7 steps to best professional headshotIf you look around on LinkedIn and corporate websites, you may be surprised at the lack of high-quality, professional head shots you will encounter. This is your opportunity to stand out from the crowd.

Numerous studies show that your potential clients see you for the first time from that picture, 60 percent of the time. Yikes.

How often do you see a colleague with a bad picture they took on their phone, hanging out with their dog or drinking a glass of wine? What about those individuals who over process their image so their eyes look possessed and their skin plastic? Even a well done over-processed image in photoshop is a mistake. The one thing that’s worse than a bad head shot is one that leaves people disappointed when they actually meet you.

Why not take the time to get a good headshot? Not one with your phone in a room full of clutter; a clean polished image that shows you at your best and is professionally retouched yet natural.

Here are my 7 steps to creating a compelling and unforgettable professional head shot:

1. Determine What You Want to Communicate

Do you have a personal brand? You have to start there. What do you want people to think about you when they see your head shot? Are you serious, approachable, creative, efficient, fascinating, holistic? You must know what you want to communicate before you know what to wear, where to stand, what pose and lighting will tell your story.

2. Let Your Wardrobe Tell Your Story

The one thing your photographer can’t control is your clothing. First, make sure that your clothes fit. It is easy for wrinkles to occur when you lean into the shot, cross your arms or pose in any way. If you have ill-fitting clothes, those details will show and you will appear to not pay attention to details. Do you know what colors look good on you? If so, wear them. Solid colors are better than patterns;  basically, less is more.

I recommend wearing the type of clothing you wear when you meet a client. When someone meets you first from your head shot, they will want to see that person when they meet you in person. If you wear a suit and tie in person, then wear it in the image. If you are always in business casual then that’s the right choice for you. If you always wear statement jewelry than you can do that in your head shot.

3. Be Seasonal in All Ways

I  recommend dressing for the season, wear light colors in the spring and summer and darker colors in the fall and winter. Changing out your head shot every six months is a good idea. Posting a new profile picture in LinkedIn and other social media sites gains you attention. This is a great strategy  to increase visibility.

For women, I highly recommend professional hair and makeup. Find a makeup artist who works with photographers and professionals regularly. Unless you are a model or a makeup artist, you don’t want a glam look you want natural makeup that will bring out your features and smooth out your skin.

4. Choose a Setting that Relates to Your Story

Think about your website and other ways you will use your head shot. What is the color scheme and the look and feel of your other marketing materials? What best tells the story of your personal brand and business? A white background is considered contemporary, light and airy; a black or dark background is more formal, moody, dramatic, seriou. An outdoor environmental setting is more casual and on trend for models, actors and people in creative fields; environmental indoor backgrounds, like libraries, board rooms, studios, etc., can add a storytelling element to your headshot.

5. Consider Color Harmony

The idea of a “head shot” is to bring attention to your head; more specifically your face. You want your skin to be the biggest point of contrast in the image. It is counter-intuitive but light hair and skin is best on a light background making the greatest point of contrast (the darkest part of the image), your face. If there are colors in the background than wear clothing that matches or compliments that color. If you are dark skinned or have dark hair, dark backgrounds are recommended for the same reason.

6. Be Sure You Use Professional Lighting

A trained professional photographer will know how to control the light so it compliments you. Lighting can be bright and flat for a more contemporary approachable look or more dramatic for a serious feel.

7. Relax to Gain a Natural Expression

Everything else can be perfect but if you, the subject, is not relaxed your head shot will fall flat. Be sure to work with a photographer with whom you feel at ease and someone who will invest whatever time is necessary for you to relax behind the lens.

You can come out from under the bed now, 49ers fans. Remove that pillowcase from your head. You finally have a real quarterback again, potentially a star quarterback, and a quarterback who appears to have all the attributes and then some to lead this franchise out of its deep abyss.

In his first start with them, Jimmy Garoppolo transformed the 49ers from a fairly hopeless offensive outfit to a team that look like it can actually compete in the NFL. This was just the beginning, too. Imagine when Kyle Shanahan and John Lynch can expand his playbook and actually build a better team around him.

For now, they’d better get him a bodyguard or two and a limousine. Because, based on what Garoppolo showed in Chicago Sunday against the Bears in a 15-14 squeaker, his ceiling could be limitless. He was restricted by his supporting cast from being great. But he was very, very good, and you should be very, very excited.

JimmyG made all the right throws. He made all the right decisions. He demonstrated all the correct mechanics so critical to passing accuracy. He showed incredible levels of poise, panache and competence. He elevated the players around him, from the linemen to the backs to the receivers. Even the defense seemed to play better, perhaps finally excited to get the ball back to their offensive partners.

Last but not least, Garoppolo won a damn game for the 49ers, with an assist from the leg of Robbie Gould. Winning matters. He won a road game, no less, in a duel with another good-looking young quarterback, Mitch Trubisky, who was the second overall pick in this past year’s draft. Trubisky was good. Garoppolo was way better, even in a one-point victory.

One hesitates to go too crazy about one performance. But you have our permission: You should go a little crazy about the birth of the Garoppolo Era, because this debut turned out better than anybody could have imagined, except possibly Garoppolo himself.

It was evident from the very first pass. On a third-and-10 play, Garoppolo stepped back and fired a seed in the right flat into the waiting hands of Marquise Goodwin for a first down. The pass was not only perfect, there wasn’t a millisecond of hesitation about what he wanted to do. It was if he’d already run the play in his head before he executed it with complete precision.

Then came about 35 more plays from Garoppolo just like it. It was as if we were watching Tom Brady’s kid brother or something, and to some degree, we were. You have to figure if you’ve been Brady’s understudy for three years, you’re going to learn some valuable tricks that help you immensely once you get the chance to run a team yourself.

Garoppolo appears to have been an attentive and exquisite watcher and listener. He did so many impressive things it’s hard to know where to start. But let’s begin with something that might seem insignificant but isn’t – “feeling” pressure and avoiding it.

That skill is such a huge deal for an NFL quarterback, and we have such an intriguing frame of reference in the last true long-term quarterback the 49ers had in Colin Kaepernick.

Kaepernick was fast, and early on in his career, he electrified us with that blazing speed of his. But as teams figured him out and learned to how keep him contained in the pocket, he got sacked repeatedly or rushed his throws to avoid getting pummeled.

Why? Because for all his foot speed, Kap couldn’t adjust to a rush and extend plays from the pocket. Garoppolo? Goodness, it was like watching Joe Montana out of the drop-back. One of undervalued things about Montana is he could shed a menacing rusher with a simple little sidestep or step up, and most of the great ones can execute those moves, even if they aren’t running quarterbacks. Brady can do it. Drew Brees can do it. Peyton Manning did it.

Jimmy Garoppolo can do it. He probably shook off three or four sacks against the Bears with just one tiny hip swivel. On a couple of them, he subsequently completed first-down passes. So often, those kinds of plays make a difference in a game.

Perhaps more than anything, though, Garoppolo exhibited an uncanny overall polish for a guy who’s spent so much time on the bench waiting for his turn. It was more than just his confidence. It was his assuredness, and there’s a big difference.

Kaepernick was confident, at least until he got bludgeoned so many times in the backfield he wasn’t. Rookie C.J. Beathard, who admirably kept the starting spot warm, was and is confident. But you need more as a quarterback to win in the NFL consistently.

Assuredness in a quarterback is the confidence to get it done plus knowing how. It’s part mechanics. It’s part understanding the speed of the game. It’s part game-plan preparation and savvy. It’s part being able to read the field before a play. It’s part being able go through progressions once the play begins and making the best throw. It’s part just being smart and part being bold enough to know when to take chances. Finally, it’s part being able to inspire and lead your unit and make it function like a machine.

The 49ers haven’t functioned like they did Sunday on offense in quite some time. True, they didn’t score any touchdowns, but they moved the chains with uncommon proficiency for them. They made 23 first downs. They made 10 of those first downs with third down conversions (10 of 18). They held the ball for an ungodly 38 minutes and 47 seconds, or more than 17 minutes than Chicago did.

Receivers Goodwin and Trent Taylor had career days. Goodwin caught eight passes for 99 yards, Taylor six for 92. That’s because Garoppolo hit them right in stride with balls that were easy to catch. Taylor, just 5-foot-8, suddenly looked like so many of those pesky Patriots wideouts over the years like Wes Welker, Julian Edelman and Danny Amendola. Goodwin looked like a bona fide all-purpose receiver as opposed to the track-star deep threat you try hit downfield once or twice a game.

Garoppolo finished the game with a fair to so-so official quarterback rating of 82.4, but that number is a flat lie. For one thing, his only interception was actually a completion that was ripped out of the hands of receiver Louis Murphy.

If you’re a 49ers fan, you should be giving Garoppolo a 100 percent rating, because he was everything you dreamed he could possibly be. Nowhere to go but up now.

Halak introduced by Blues, looking to succeed

Updated: September 12, 2010 at 4:29 pm by Alexander Monaghan

Jaroslav Halak brings his a 56 career wins to St. Louis as he will for the first time in his career look to hold a starting goalie position in the NHL.  Yahoo! ranks him at a modest 45 which is 11th amongst fellow goaltenders and between old man Miikka Kiprusoff and Mr. Wins-are-all-I-am-good for Marc-Andre Fleury.  Last season, he ranked 10th overall in netminders despite playing less games than any of his competitors.

A quick look at the St. Louis Blues team indicates they should be better than they were last year.  They upgraded in goal and hold a very solid top four of underrated players.  Their top core of young forwards looks like it will bounce back as well.  David Backes, TJ Oshie, Patrik Berglund and David Perron all struggled with inconsistency last year but should be able to find their groove when all is said and done.  Surprisingly only Backes makes the cut as a consensus draft pick which screams buy-low.  How many teams have top six forwards going undrafted?

Despite the Blues’ trouble finding the back of the net they still managed to outscore the Montreal Canadiens, which is relevant considering how well Halak did on an offensively challenged team.  Expect big things from him this season, Scott Pianowski is already starting to ruin it for everyone else.

France Under-21 boss Sylvian Ripoll has been raving about Moussa Dembele and is sure the former Celtic striker will be a success at Lyon.

The striker completed a move back to his homeland when he joined the Ligue 1 big guns on deadline day and Ripoll is delighted to have him available as his team prepare to take on Bulgaria Under-21s this evening.

Ripoll believes he will be ready to lead the line tonight despite not having too long to adapt to his new club.

The former Celtic ace is expected to start tonight as he looks to continue his stellar scoring form for France Under-21s, which has seen him bag nine goals in 14 appearances.

Dembele has an outstanding scoring record for France Under-21s

Dembele's former Hoops teammate Olivier Ntcham is also in the France Under-21s squad and may well feature in tonight's match as well.

Ripoll though, was focused on the 22-year-old frontman as he looked ahead to the Bulgaria clash.

The boss said: "He's had a buffer week with training and some time to get used to his transfer.

"We know his skills as a scorer, he can make the difference for us in the penalty area and allow us to capitalise on what we do well in the game.

poll loading

Will Moussa Dembele be a big success at Lyon?

"He is effective and leads the attack in the way that the game demands.

"He is mobile, powerful, and immediately becomes a threat with his ability to put himself where he needs to be.

"And he has that cool instinct and composure when the ball runs across the in front of him to finish.

"He is strong enough to handle the move, I've no worries on that front."

Shotts scrapper Lynn Calder boxed her way to a silver medal at the prestigious Belgrade Cup Winners Cup tournament

The Springhill ABC fighter took the Scottish title in April in the 64 kg light-welterweight division but was faced with stiff competition in the Serbian capital.

In her first bout Lynn took on Sema Caliskan, ranked inside the top 10 in the world.

However, 31-year-old Lynn battled her way to a unanimous points victory over her highly fancied Turkish opponent.

Springhill ABC head coach Frank Delaney said: “This was a big win for Lynn. I’ve told her to take her time in the ring but she likes to go in all guns blazing.

“Sometimes you’ve got to calm her down.

“She must have taken the advice on board and boxed a very controlled fight.”

In the final, Lynn took on tough Russian Vera Slugina.

And despite a spirited showing she lost out on a points decision with all five judges scoring the bout in Slugina’s favour.

However, the silver medal gained by Lynn is the second international medal she has claimed in less than 12 months.

She also bagged a silver at the International Silesian Women’s Championship in Gilwice, Poland, in September.

“She was disappointed she couldn’t get the job done in the final,” said Frank.

“She just felt that the Russian had an answer to every question she asked.

“All of the coaches out there said it was a close fight but she has been further in these big tournaments which is great to see.

“The gap is narrowing to these fighters and she is learning all the time. She always gives 100 per cent and she would take on anyone.”

Frank also believes Lynn still has it in her to get to the next Commonwealth Games despite missing out on selection for this year’s games in the Gold Coast.

He added: “She’s only 31 and in women’s boxing you can carry on well into your thirties so there’s no reason why Lynn couldn’t do it.

“She was a bit disappointed she was not selected this time around but I told her the best thing to do was to get back training and back in the ring and she’s done that.”

Cleland ABC boxers Scott Wotherspoon and Stephanie Kernachan also took part in the Belgrade tournament.

Stephanie boxed Boro Jamuna from India and boxed well against a tricky oppenant but lost out narrowly.

Scott also lost out to an Algerian opponent.

Analysis: Bills in VA. and MO. Would Double Down on Banning Municipal Broadband

Legislation proposed in Virginia and Missouri would tighten the noose that restricts local governments from creating broadband options. In Virginia, the bill comes from a state delegate with strong ties to the telecommunications industry and with ALEC, the national advocacy group that wrote similar laws for other states.

Share This:

A Virginia state delegate who has received contributions from six telecommunications corporations has introduced a bill to place further restrictions on municipal broadband.

“Virginia is being suckered by another industry-written public-broadband ban in a bill bought and paid for by Big Cable,” states Phillip Dampier, editor of Stop the Cap and long-time analyst of efforts to restrict local governments from getting into municipal network.

The Virginia bill is sponsored by Delegate Kathy Byron, R-Campbell County, a member of a national telecommunications task for of ALEC, the American Legislative Exchange Council. ALEC brings together state lawmakers and corporate leaders to craft model legislation.

Some Republicans who are free-market advocates can’t support Virginia’s latest attempt to quell public-owned networks. Conservative blogger Susan Sili says the bill allows state government to interfere with issues that ought to be the purview of local government. “This is completely frustrating from a local perspective where we have spent years trying to convince citizens in Caroline [County] to vote for less government and free enterprise in a blue county.  This kind of U-turn from our creed certainly isn’t helping.”

Meanwhile, a similar bill winds its way through the state legislature in Missouri.

Delegate Kathry Byron.
Delegate Kathry Byron.

Telecom and cable industries are doubling back to make already existing state restrictions tougher, reducing the ability of local governments to create competition for telecommunications services. This time incumbents (the telecommunications companies or successors that were in place before telecommunications deregulation) are giving their bills pro-community broadband titles (Virginia Broadband Deployment Act) and paragraphs of complimentary rhetoric that lead to innocuous sounding directives that are actually quite harmful for municipal broadband advocates.

Beware the Hemlock in the wine

Virginia’s State House Bill 2108 effectively stops cold all of the efforts the state has taken to get broadband in communities through seemingly benign definition. The bill allows municipal networks only in areas that don’t already have broadband – defined as 10 Mbps download speed and 1 Mbps upload.

First, there’s no “technology exclusions” for cellular or satellite coverage. If you look at a coverage map that includes cellular and satellite, almost the entire state appears to be served. However, cellular and satellite in the real world has problems (hills, foliage, rain, etc.) that hinder or prevent coverage where it’s most needed. Data caps and overage fees make cellular and satellite services unaffordable for many constituents.

Second, most residents that have students, adults who worked from home and owners of home businesses need more than 10 Mbps speed today, and the need is increasing. Additionally, quite of few regular businesses, medical facilities, libraries, and other organizations require many dozens or hundreds of megabytes of speed. These are why communities build their own networks.

Third, when incumbents game the data in broadband maps, an entire zone may be displayed as having coverage even if only two or three homes have 10/1 speeds. Furthermore, an incumbent can claim they have an area covered by advertising “up to 10 Mbps” in their materials, whether or not customers actually receive that maximum.

Has anyone actually read this Virginia broadband bill?” asks Dampier at Stop the Cap. “It requires any public broadband project planning an overbuild to get approval from the Broadband Advisory Council.” Members of the council include the chair, Delegate Byron, who introduced Bill 2108 and serves as president of the Virginia cable lobby. “I am guessing no project will ever make it out with approval!” Dampier wrote.

Michael W.S. Lockaby, a lawyer who analyzed Bill 2108 for the Friends of Municipal Broadband, said the bill virtually eliminates competition. “The rationale here is to remove local entities [public institutions] as effective competitors for private internet providers,” he wrote in his analysis. Because the bill is “essentially prohibiting competition in the marketplace, it plainly violates the spirit and intent of the Telecommunications Act of 1996, which was intended to promote competition.”

In Missouri, it’s déjà vu all over again – and again

In Missouri, meanwhile, the state’s current anti-municipal network law, written in 1997, bans public entities from owning and providing telecom services. But it’s always been an implied or assumed ban, even though an exception for broadband was written into the bill. One Missouri city built a network without challenge, and Columbia two years ago planned to play the same “Get Out of Jail Free” card.

The Missouri Legislature has been making annual efforts since 2014 to ban muni broadband. This year’s entry is SB 186, which would prohibit retail or wholesale competitive service. By banning wholesale efforts, the bill would prevent a municipality from working with private-sector companies to supply broadband.

“SB 186 sets up onerous hurdles that threaten to sabotage a network in the early days, discouraging local communities from pursuing a chance to serve residents, businesses, and municipal facilities,” says Christopher Mitchell, director of Community Broadband Networks at the Institute for Local Self-Reliance (ILSR). “The bill also dictates ballot language, establishes geographical limits on any local network, and clearly established that no funds from other municipal services can be directed toward a municipal network.”

The bill is now in the Local Government and Elections Committee, but no hearing has been scheduled yet. (View the entire text of SB 186 online.)

Opinion: Community broadband success gives truth to incumbent’s lies

The two most repeated and certifiably false claims by incumbents and the legislators who parrot them are: 1) most local governments have no expertise in managing or maintaining systems of that complexity, and 2) the vast majority of municipal broadband systems across the country have failed.

There are over 400 municipal and public utility broadband networks. Most are successful, covering entire cities and counties or providing partial jurisdiction coverage. Some networks are fully publicly owned while an increasing number are owned by public-private partnerships.

Thomasville, Georgia, a city of about 19,000 residents on the Florida state line near Tallahassee, had little more than dial up when the city built their own network in 1999. From humble beginnings, the network went on to become a success story. Their network now generates $2 million a year for city coffers. This enabled them in 2012 to eliminate taxes. The City of Santa Monica’s IT Department in California self-funded the city network and generated over $2 million in revenues, which it reinvested in the network.

In Virginia, over a dozen cities and counties have built successful networks. Danville’s public utility used its network as part of efforts to drive unemployment down from 19% to under 9% in six years. King and Queen County build its own network and hired a private company to run the service operations. Roanoke Valley Broadband Authority built its fiber backhaul and middle-mile infrastructure, is signing on private providers, and is ready to provide some internet service directly to constituents if need be.

More Virginia municipal broadband stories are contained in a report from the Institute for Local Self Reliance. Additional information on current state restrictions on publicly owned broadband available here and here.

It is hard to tell how the battles will pan out, but in Virginia and Missouri communities have a lot of fight and determination. There is a general feeling that there is too much riding on this battle to lose.

Craig Settles is a broadband industry analyst, consultant to local governments, and author of “Building the Gigabit City.” He also passionate believes in the right of rural and urban communities to set their own broadband destiny.

The Scoop

Governor Approves Riverside Traffic Circle Land Swap

Governor Andrew Cuomo has approved legislation permitting the Town of Southampton to swap land with Suffolk County in order to enable the county to conduct improvements at the traffic circle.

The bill was introduced in the Assembly by Assemblyman Fred W. Thiele Jr. of Sag Harbor and in the Senate by Senator Kenneth P. LaValle of Port Jefferson.

Thiele said the traffic circle is a very busy and dangerous location where five major roads intersect.

“The current configuration results in considerable traffic delays and traffic congestion on all approaching roads,” he said. “There is also a high incidence of rear-end collisions.”

According to Thiele, the Suffolk County Department of Public Works examined the corrider and after considering more than 20 possibities concluded that a parcel owned by the town would be needed to carry out a reconfiguration that improves safety and reduces congestion.

In exchange for the town-owned parcel, the county has agreed to give an abutting parcel.

“The county parcel is twice the size of the town parcel and would be dedicated to park use by the town,” Thiele said.

LaValle added, “This was yet another example of different levels of government coming together to resolve one of our greatest priorities–safe roadways.”

The landswap will require a public referendum to proceed.

Top 5 DBA tasks that are a waste of time

By DatabaseJournal.com Staff

[From Search SQL Server]

Some tasks performed by DBAs on a regular basis not only have little to no benefit to SQL Server, but can actually be detrimental to the health of their environments. In this article I'll cover a few such tasks. If you are doing any of these, I would hope that you stop doing them as soon as possible.

Showing Mercy

Alex doesn't want to be mean to her tenants, but as their landlord, she has to figure out how to deal with them not paying rent this month.

QUESTION: Alex is wondering if she should let her tenants skip this month’s rent. The woman lost her job last month, and in the last 10 months they have been on time with payment. She thinks they had enough money to pay her, but used it for other things like a car payment. What should she do?

ANSWER: I would have told them that food is first, lights and water second, rent is third and car is fourth. I would require them to take my advice or move. If they will follow your advice, which is based on being good for them, then I would cut them some slack. But if they are misbehaving with money, why would you cut them slack? You have to be firm and fair to be a quality landlord. I try to treat someone like I’d want to be treated if I were in their shoes.

Tell them you want to see a written copy of their budget, and that they are spending their money wisely. If they don’t, you can start to move them. If they are out of work and are literally choosing between you and food for the family, cut them some slack. If they are having keg parties on the weekends, then get them out.

It doesn’t make you evil to say that you’re not running a homeless shelter. Sit down with them and get intrusive into their business, in order that I can feel good about extending them mercy, so you can see how they are going to pay you. If they don’t let you, start looking at moving them.

Over The Limit

Dave tells Lisa that she's going to have to pull her contribution back out since she's over the limit for the calendar year.

QUESTION: Lisa opened a Roth IRA and forgot there were income limits. She went over the income limit this year and, it turned out, was not eligible to contribute this year. She asks Dave what will happen.

ANSWER: You just have to pull the contribution back out. You can’t contribute more than the limit in a calendar year. It doesn’t affect any other years that you invested, just this year.

Scarce Projects Raise Red Flag for Skilled Labor

From Power Magazine

A combination of factors, including a relative scarcity of projects, has cut demand for skilled labor in the power generation sector. Despite the lull, workforce retirements are still expected to challenge the industry.

Like swallows returning to Capistrano or geese flying south in the fall, the cycle of spring and autumn maintenance outages at electric power generating stations is almost a force of nature. Low demand for electricity during shoulder seasons means that units can be shut down for routine repair and upgrades, and then returned to service to meet summer and winter high-demand periods.

How to keep your little one safe while on the playground

How to keep your little one safe while on the playground

Luckily, most playground injuries are easily solved with a Band-Aid, hug and kiss. However, more serious injuries may occur, including concussions or traumatic brain injuries (TBIs). Recent data from the Centers for Disease Control reports that playground related injuries have increased more than 50% between 2005 and 2013, with traumatic brain injuries increasing nearly 60% with most of those occurring from playground injuries.

Although playgrounds have become safer over the years with the installation of soft surfaces below play areas, the rates of injury are still rising. Swings and monkey bars are the equipment pieces causing the most frequent accidents due to their potential velocity and height, respectively. Additionally, injury risk is associated with different age groups and their preferred equipment. Swings and slides were commonly linked with TBI in 0-to-4 year olds. Children 5-to-9 years old were most likely to be hurt while playing on monkey bars or swings. And children 10-to-14 years old were most likely to have injuries from playing on swings, monkey bars, or playground gyms.

Playing outdoors is an important component of healthy childhood development. Gross motor physical development is supported when children practice their balance, flexibility, strength, speed, and endurance while playing. Also, being outdoors, away from screens and digital equipment, helps children learn other forms of entertainment. Additionally, the inherent socialization that occurs while children use the same space and equipment encourages healthy habits around sharing, fairness, and cooperation. Therefore, the risks of concussions and TBI should be moderated to reduce risk while encouraging the positive benefits of outdoor, recreational free-play.

What can we do to reduce the risk of accidents at the playground?

Parents can help reduce the risk of concussion or TBI by following a few simple guidelines when taking their child to the playground:

  • Make sure the playground has a soft material under the equipment such as wood chips, sand, mulch, or rubber.
  • Read playground signs to determine if the equipment is suitable for the child’s age group.
  • Inspect the playground equipment to assure it is in good working order and has appropriate guardrails to prevent falls.
  • Look around the playground for any other potential causes of falls such tree stumps or broken benches.

How can we set a good example so our children learn to play safely at the playground?

Additionally, parents can reduce the risk of concussion or TBI by teaching their children a few healthy habits and supporting their child’s normal development:

  • Teach children to identify and appropriately react to their inborn fear. Fear is a natural, self-preservation instinct that humans have to avoid danger.
    • Some fear needs to be overcome while other fear is meant to avoid injury or death. In either case, parents can teach children to identify their fear and evaluate it to help them make good choices with their bodies.
  • Bring children to equipment that is appropriate for their age and abilities. Avoid bringing children to playgrounds or equipment that is too advanced for them.
    • Seeing other children play on equipment that is too mature for their natural ability can lead some children to engaging in activities that their bodies and minds are not yet ready to manage which may result in injury.
  • Do not help children onto equipment that they are not able to manage independently. Putting children in positions in which they cannot safely extract themselves increases the risk of injury.
    • Many parents with good intentions help their children climb higher, swing faster, or navigate complex structures that their child cannot independently manage. This creates situations where children strive for riskier activities and, if the parent is not attentive to them 100% of the time, may cause injury or falls because the child is unable to manage their own safety.
  • Monitor the playgroup of children and intervene if some members are encouraging unsafe play. Parents can help re-direct children to safer play activities to protect all group members.

It should be noted that it is impossible to completely avoid the risk of concussions or TBI. If children fall from high heights or are ejected forcefully from swings or merry-go-rounds while playing, do not hesitate to take them for an evaluation with a health care provider. The good news is that the statistics show that 90% of children who are taken to emergency departments for injuries related to playground accidents are treated and released.

Playground time encourages outdoor, recreational free-play that is beneficial to children’s overall physical, mental, and social well-being and development. Parents can support these important tasks by promoting physical play multiple times per week and reduce the risk of injury by following these simple guidelines. Taking inventory of the playgrounds safety in terms of structure and function, limiting children’s activities to fit with their physical and mental abilities, and monitoring the play of the individuals and groups helps to keep everyone safe, healthy and happy.

Filmcity in Mumbai to undergo facelift

Filmcity in Mumbai to undergo facelift

Filmcity  in Goregaon suburb of western Mumbai is all set to undergo a massive modernisation programme.

A plan for upgradation and modernisation of the Dadasaheb Phalke Chitranagari-as the Filmcity is formally known -was cleared at a high-level meeting presided by Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis.

The most-sought-after studio complex for shooting films, TV serials and commercials,  it would be developed through a public-private-partnership mode, confirmed the Chief Minister's Office.

The plan is to make Filmcity  on  par with international standards and to also develop it as a tourist spot.

Cultural Affairs Minister Vinod Tawde and Tourism Minister Jaykumar Rawal were among those who were present at the meeting.

Spread across 521 acres, the Filmcity has practically every possible terrain that one can ask for. It has hills, lakes, bridges, long and winding roads and green expanse.

The Filmcity has nearly 40 different outdoor locations, 16 well-equipped sound-proof studios and 80 air-conditioned makeup rooms. Recording studios equipped with state-of-the-art dubbing and mixing facilities and editing suites for 16/35 mm films are also available.

On a day, there are 30 to 35 scheduled shootings and approximately 1,200 films are made here every year. Over 70%  of Indian motion pictures, TV serials and commercials are produced in Mumbai and the Filmcity accounts for 30 to 40%  of them.

Rahul says will be PM if Cong emerges as largest party in 2019 poll

AICC President Rahul Gandhi gestures during public meeting. DH Photo/Prashanth HG

Congress president Rahul Gandhi on Tuesday said he would be India’s next prime minister if his party emerged with a majority in the 2019 Lok Sabha elections.

Rahul was speaking at the launch of Samruddha Bharat, a secular, progressive platform of citizens in Bengaluru.

When a member of the audience asked him if he would be the next prime minister, Rahul said: “Well, that depends on how well the Congress party does. I mean, if the Congress is the biggest party, then yeah.”

This is the second time Rahul has made his prime ministerial ambitions clear. In September 2017, while addressing students at the University of Berkeley, Rahul had said he was “absolutely ready” to be the Congress’ PM candidate for the 2019 elections.

Rahul asserted that it was “highly unlikely the BJP will form the next government” and that it was “close to impossible that Narendra Modi will be the next prime minister”. He said a united opposition was “the deadliest thing in Indian politics that smashes everything in its path”.

The 47-year-old said the BJP did not stand a chance if parties unite. “I’m pretty confident that if we get everybody together and the Congress is able to act as a platform, the BJP doesn’t stand a chance. The question is, what does a government with so many partners look like?”

Rahul donned the hat of a political analyst. “Let’s do the math. An opposition alliance in Uttar Pradesh will guarantee that the BJP does not get more than five seats. You add up the BSP, SP and Congress, that’s 70%. This will take the BJP straight from 270 seats to 200. And at 200, Modi is not PM anyway because none of his allies will support him over Nitin Gadkari or someone else,” he said.

He went further to say that the Congress was poised to win states where it badly lost last time. “In the entire northern belt, the Congress practically ended up with zero seats last time. There’s no way we’re getting less than 20 seats in Rajasthan. We’ll win Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh. So state after state where BJP swept, they will not sweep. If you remove Uttar Pradesh and Bihar, you have a BJP that’s unlikely to win the election,” he claimed.

Getting a chance to shoot one of our personal favorite bands is just one of the perks of the job.  When the Deftones came thorough our neck of the woods during the BlackDiamondSkye tour, Warner Bros. invited Del Padre Digital to shoot a live version of Rocket Skates to promote the band’s (then) new album, Diamond Eyes.   Shooting live from the world-famous Mohegan Sun Casino and Resort, Del Padre was on stage recording as much as time allocated.  After the edit, the end result is a strong mix of video, audio, power, with just a hint of enamored fan.

Co-chair Pat Robinson, second from right, welcomes Rollie Jordan, left, Scott Coors and Frances Owens to Intergenerational Idols, a dinner and talent show benefiting Bessie’s Hope. <!–IPTC: [CUT1]Co-chair Pat Robinson, second from right, welcomes Rollie Jordan, left, Scott Coors and Frances Owens to Intergenerational Idols, a dinner and talent show benefiting Bessie’s Hope. [CREDIT]David Zalubowski, Special to The Denver Post–>

These days, when finding the Fountain of Youth is Priority One and the cosmetic surgeon seems to be everyone’s best friend, it comes as a big surprise to hear someone say how old they are.

OK, so maybe radio personality Mike Rosen didn’t get totally specific about his personal digits when he emceed Intergenerational Idols. He did, however, drop some revealing hints, although we suspect most were in jest.

“I’m so old that Beethoven played at my senior prom,” Rosen intoned as he introduced 80-year-old pianist Raf Lopez. He also claimed to remember the Dead Sea when it was merely ailing.

Intergenerational Idols, chaired by Pat Robinson and Bill Bishop, is a dinner and talent show that benefits Bessie’s Hope and its programs to enrich the lives of seniors in nursing homes and assisted living centers. There were 11 acts this year, with performers age 6 to 80.

In addition, a host of local musicians including the pianist Amy Zhou and the Mile Highlanders drum and bugle corps entertained during the silent auction and while guests were enjoying a chicken and chocolate cake dinner at the Marriott Denver Tech Center. Denver Broncos cheerleaders Serita Archuleta and Bri Bateman also put in an appearance.

Former Colorado first lady Frances Owens and Rosen were the honorary chairpersons; Rosalina Diecidue coordinated the entertainment; Cathy Felling organized the silent auction and Kay Ray was in charge of decor.

The founders of Bessie’s Hope — Linda Holloway, Sharron Brandrup and Marge Utne — were there to welcome such supporters as LaFawn Biddle and her grandson, Zach Donnenfeld; Rich and Sue Jones; Sue Goodin; Jack and Adrienne Fitzgibbons; Steve Edmonds; Casey Kemp; Daniel Bell; Kieth and Nancy Boldiszar; Sandra Arkin; Lou Walters; Ann Walsh; Bob Bouleric and Venita McLemore.Coming right up.

Cherry Hills Country Club is the setting April 28 for Denver Ballet Guild’s spring luncheon. Chairwoman Shelley Lucas (720-200-2602) says there’ll be entertainment by the Academy of Colorado Ballet and a vote on officers for the 2011-12 term … That evening, Susan Hildebrand and the Central City Opera host a patron preview for the Denver Antiques Show & Sale that opens April 29 at The Collection, 899 Broadway. Learn more by visiting … Tortillas for Tepeyac, the annual luncheon and celebrity tortilla-making contest that benefits Clinica Tepeyac, begins at 11:30 a.m. April 29 at the Stapleton Recreation Center, 5090 Broadway. Visit clinicatepeyac.orgLu Vason, founder of the Bill Pickett Rodeo, Urban Spectrum publisher Bee Harris and Vivian Epstein, founder of Parents of Suicides, will be honored at the Shaka Franklin Foundation’s Love Our Children Luncheon, also being held on April 29. It’s at the Renaissance Denver Hotel and reservations can be phoned to 303-337-2515 … Josh Hanfling’s sister, Diane Reed, and Catherine Goodwillie are chairing Cooking Up Success, an April 29 dinner where chefs from ChoLon Asian Bistro, TAG, Olivea and four other Denver restaurants will be serving their specialties to 500 friends of Invest in Kids. The 6 p.m. event at Exdo Events Center is sold out … Same night: Savor the Colorado Flavor, a food-and-beverage pairings party put on by The Alliance Foundation. It’s at Gourmet Fine Catering, and organizer Kasia Iwaniczko says reservations can be made at The foundation, a division of the Alliance of Professional Women, will use the money generated at this $55-a-ticket event to grant college scholarships to women attending Metropolitan State College, the University of Colorado Denver and the University of Denver Women’s College.

In an economy, prices for goods and services can change at any time. Some prices rise while others fall. The increase in the prices of goods as a whole but not only of some single products is referred to as "inflation".

As a result of inflation, you can buy less for one euro or in other words: One euro is worth less than before.

"Rate of inflation", as measured by the consumer price index, means the percentage change over the corresponding period of the previous year – either the month a year earlier or the average of the previous year.

Live show: Talisman: Digital Edition

Plus a little Kickstarter hype for a good friend of the live channel

[Mash Tactics airs Monday through Friday at 4p.m. Pacific on Dtoid.TV. Watch Rick 'King Foom' Olson play a variety of games, each day with its own theme. With a heavy focus on community and viewer interaction, you can be as much a part of the show as anything else.]

I'm just getting over a nasty head cold, so we're going to take things easy tonight, and jump into a few rounds of Talisman: Digital Edition. While I've never played this, or the board game that it is based on, the game has come highly recommended by a couple close friends of mine, so I'm pretty confident that it will be a good time.

Speaking of friends, tonight, we're going to try and do what we can to help out a good friend of the live channel, Gregory Wilson, in his mission to get his graphic novel Icarus off the ground. With a great story, and awesome artwork by Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles artist, Matt Slay, this book has a lot of potential, and deserves some attention. Come by the show tonight as Greg and I sit down and talk about the novel, the Kickstarter behind it, and the possibility of Icarus becoming a videogame somewhere down the line, all while kicking back and playing some Talisman.

QotD: What was the last thing you backed on Kickstarter?

Baked Sweet Potato Fries

When you aren’t cleansing, treat yourself to these scrumptious sweet potato fries. Given that sweet potatoes are high in sucrose, they begin to caramelize at 320 degrees F. To get them perfectly crispy, it is optimal to bake them at 400 degrees F, like we did in this recipe.

  • Prep Time: 10m
  • Cook Time: 30m
  • Total Time: 40m

  • 1 1/4 lb sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into fries
  • 1/2 tsp. sea salt
  • 1/4 tsp. black pepper
  • 1/4 tsp. garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp. paprika
  • 3 tbsp. olive oil

  1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F and line a baking sheet with tin foil. You can also use a silicone baking mat if you don't want to use foil. Scatter the sweet potato fries across the baking sheet.
  2. Whisk the sea salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika together in a small bowl. Sprinkle this mixture over the sweet potato fries, drizzle with olive oil, and then toss with your hands to coat the fries in the seasonings.
  3. Place the fries in the oven and bake for 15 minutes. Using a spatula, carefully flip the fries over and bake for another 15 minutes.
  4. Remove the fries from the oven and let them cool down a little before serving. Enjoy!
