Young researchers shine in Grand Challenge
Ahmad Al Ghraibi gives his presentation during the final round of EXPEC ARC's Grand Challenge.
With the spotlight on developing young talent, the Saudi Aramco EXPEC Advanced Research Center (EXPEC ARC) recently conducted a competition designed to give young researchers an opportunity to hone their presentation skills, develop ties between individuals and recognize exceptional talent while also stimulating creativity.
For the ‘Grand Challenge’ competition, EXPEC ARC invited young researchers who have contributed to the development of innovative concepts in their area of technical interest to present their ideas. The challenge is one of the initiatives in EXPEC ARC’s Young Researcher Program.
“Being relatively new to EXPEC ARC, this was a wonderful way to get involved with others outside my division and present my work for the first time to a multidisciplinary forum of department colleagues,” said Salma Sinan, a geophysicist. “My fellow competitors gave excellent presentations. I am honored to be among the selected group and to have the support of my colleagues and management.”
This year’s competition was held in two rounds: an initial qualifying round and the final round. There were 16 participants in the initial round; each had 10 minutes to deliver a presentation on their innovative idea. The presentations were expected to be technically sound, innovative, well prepared, and professionally designed and delivered. A judging committee consisting of EXPEC ARC’s manager and seven chief technologists evaluated the presentations.
“During the judging process, it was remarkable to witness such a rich and diverse pipeline of intellect at EXPEC ARC,” said Ali A. Al-Meshari, acting EXPEC ARC manager. “Such competitions are constructive in further challenging our young professionals, in addition to knowledge sharing across the department.”

Chanel 2010 Resort Collection
Given the times, a cruise show on a boardwalk snaking along the Venice Lido seems audacious. But so is Chanel's designer, Karl Lagerfeld. Still, Venice was one of founder, Coco Chanel's, fave places to vacation. Starting with a tableau of cloaked figures in tricorne hats (cover-ups for more feminine girdles and bras as bathing suits), the collection exploded into gondolier-inspired stripes, and playful swimwear. The star pieces were left towards the end of the collection- elegant gowns and suits, and frothy silk blouses.

Can Improving Your Global Client Experience Create a Strategic Advantage in Banking?
Late last year, The Banker hosted a roundtable session at the Association of Financial Professionals (AFP) annual meeting for treasurers and chief financial officers. At the roundtable*, 12 transaction bankers from top-tier banks reflected on the state of the industry and shared their thoughts on the topic of client experience. Their insights provide a valuable perspective, even today.
Why is the quality of the customer experience so important in the battle for mobile consumers?
In banking, the quality of the mobile experience has been proven to go beyond propensity to use – it can ultimately be the deal breaker for the entire customer relationship. Recent research by Alix Partners suggested that for 48% of account switchers, mobile banking services were either ‘Important’ or ‘Extremely important’ in their decision to Switch.
48% of consumers immediately eliminate at least one institution from their search for a new checking product. Why? Four out of five cite a previous bad experience.
Consumers shopping for new checking accounts at FindABetterBank.com can specify which financial institutions they wouldn’t consider banking with and why. 48% of shoppers choose to eliminate at least one institution before even seeing what that bank or credit union had to offer.

Data Proves Bad Banking Experiences Hurt Customer Acquisition
At a recent cocktail party I had the opportunity to talk with a community banker about his company’s strategic focus and the fact that despite a well thought out plan, the company wasn’t seeing any significant improvement in results. During the course of our conversation, here is what I heard:
- “We don’t have the scale to compete on price; hence our plan is to compete on value.” “Everyone has the same products, and even if we offer something new and creative it can be rapidly duplicated by our competition.”
- “Because our products are not really different from those of our competitors, we chose to focus our strategy in training and empowering our employees around customer advocacy and experience.”
- “While our efforts seem to be recognized by our customers (our Net Promoter scores are on par with Apple and Amazon), our number of services per household isn’t growing. The end result is that the bank is treading water despite its best efforts to use customer advocacy and experience as a point of competitive advantage.”
We may focus upon mobile banking and customer engagement today, but soon we will focus upon augmented servicing that is proactive and predictive to encourage advocacy.
This is due to debits and credits taking place around us, behind the scenery, and therefore the need for informed service will be more critical than ever before.
Picture this scene in the near future: Chris is taking a journey into the city. He walks past the ticket office at the subway station, and says “travelcard”. The options appears in his eyewear and Chris chooses option 2 for all zones off-peak by saying “option two”.
If you don’t know who Joe Pine is, shame on you. He wrote two of the best management books ever published, Mass Customization and The Experience Economy.
Along with my praise, however, comes a little critique.
He recently published a white paper titled Beyond Products and Services in Banking, in which he writes:
“No industry has more commoditized itself over the past three decades than banking. Banks pushed people out of branches to use automatic teller machines in order to reduce personnel costs. They pushed them out of branches – the one physical space where they could actually control the experience provided to customers – to use telephone response systems, again in a bid to save money. They pushed them out of branches and onto the Internet to further reduce transaction costs. That’s no way to create a lasting relationship.”
We kicked off our customer experience interviews with the insights that real-time analytics and human relationships will drive the future of customer experience.
Now we’ll get the industry perspective from Rakesh Shetty, Head of Marketing for SAP Services Industries including Banking, Insurance, Telecommunications, Media and more.
How do you define a customer-focused company these days?
Customer-focused companies continue to deliver value to their clients enabled by innovative products and services that simplify their clients’ lives and day to day operations. This applies to clients across the spectrum covering individuals, households, small businesses and corporations. Customer-focused companies as a result of this strategy continue to raise their revenues sustainably, manage their costs and grow profitably in compliance with the regulatory Framework.

There is no other place on earth you will find a culture as dynamic as the one in Jamaica. Its people are a mixture of the many ethnicities that have landed on the island’s shores over the past several centuries. Weathering oppression, the Jamaicans are survivors, and their past is full of fascinating stories just waiting to be told.
About Jamaican Food
The island of Jamaica is known for being one of the most exotic vacation destinations for it’s beaches, balmy weather, reggae music, rich coffees and rums, exotic fruits and cheerful people. But you haven’t experienced Jamaica until you have tasted the delicious food. Find free Jamaican food recipes for Jerk Chicken, Curry Goat, Beef Patties, and Jamaican Rum Punch and loads more from our recipe collection for you to pick from.
What is the history of Jerk Chicken?
The term jerk is said to come from the word charqui, a Spanish term for jerked or dried meat, which eventually became jerky in English.
Another origin is linked to the jerking or poking of the meat with a sharp object, producing holes which were then filled with the spice mixture. Like most Caribbean islands, Jamaican foods are derivative of many different settlement cultures, including British, Dutch, French, Spanish, East Indian, West African, Portugese, and Chinese. The origins of jerk pork can be traced back to the pre-slavery days of the Cormantee hunters of West Africa through the Maroons, who were Jamaican slaves that escaped from the British during the invasion of 1655.
Jamaicans take great pride in their artistic style which is influenced by the island’s unique culture as well as European, American, and African art forms. The nation has produced many famous artists including sculptor and painter Edna Manley, painter Albert Huie and the self-taught artist Kapo.
Jamaicans are also known for their willingness to dance and fuse the styles of Europeans and Africans into their own unique form. Some of the local dances are the”jonkonnu,” a dance practiced by slaves at Christmas time,”bruckins,” from the period after emancipation, and the newer”ska.” European dances like the maypole and quadrille are performed with”mento” music, while African dances like the”gerreh,””dinki-mini,” and”ettu” were turned into commentaries on plantation living. New dances crop up constantly, but these older styles are the basis for new moves. Dance halls are the best places to find new styles, but the traditional dances of Jamaican culture are kept alive by organizations such as the National Dance Theater Company.
The most popular form of Jamaican music is reggae, which has a sound is so easy to enjoy that it has gained popularity throughout the world. Many reggae musicians have grown to international fame, most notably Bob Marley, who worked with and influenced many other local musicians before his death in 1981. The popularity of this genre has continued to this day. Dancehall, a variation of reggae, is also growing in popularity.
Reggae may be the most well-known style of music, but there are many more. Jamaican folk music has come from many sources over the years. The most notiable influence on many of the sounds found here is Africa, in celebrations of birth, death, and harvesting. However, the different types of music performed now fall into three groups: dance, religious, and work and entertainment.

Okay for 2WD
Overall, pretty good spot. There were ants like others had stated, but once set up, they were not an issue. Some spots are close enough to each other that you can hear your neighbors. The first night we had a few neighbors, but everyone was respectful of each other. Unfortunately, the second night, a new member at the sites kept their music obnoxiously loud until about midnight. I did not hear much traffic from the road nearby. There is nice creek access from spots on both sides of the river/creek. We did not attempt to cross the creek to access the spots on the other side. We walked the spots on the other side of the creek and they seemed more dispersed and less occupied.
HARMFUL ALGAL BLOOMS IN CREEK Do not drink or submerge yourself in the water. Keep pets away from water as it can be fatal for them. Check online for latest update on the blooms.
This spot is fine if you’re visiting Zion, but it’s nothing special. There are a few sites that sit along the creek which are nice and have a good view. There were quite a few other campers here when we came but there were plenty of spots to choose from. Some sites weren’t as nice as others due to trash and proximity to the road. There are fire rings at each site. Stayed 2 nights and felt safe.
We stayed two nights in our pull behind trailer. It was beautiful!
Pulled in 17th of Oct. and the road in was gravel and well maintained for any vehicle. The loops to the sites are not and although a coach or van should not have a problem, larger trailers should be very careful. Lots of ruts and potholes and ground is anything but level. Sheered two bolts off my hitch pulling through site with 24’ travel trailer. Pretty dusty, occasional noise from loop but overall not bad. At&T 3 bars and close enough to Zion National Park.
Stayed here for a night when visiting Zion! It was nice, quite a few rigs set up and also hot so try to snag some shade!
Easy access, and 20min-ish from Zion National Park! We picked one of the first spots in, but there are more with easy access as well.
We have a 42 foot RV and found a few really great spots near the creek. We did have a few creepy people and woke up a few morning to nudists not caring that we had small 5 children. We think they may be livin here so although the spot is beautiful and nice... be careful for those who take advantage of this area.
We wanted a boondocking spot close to Zion, and this one was, overall, very nice. There are, I'd estimate, between 15 and 20 sites available in this area, some more accessible than others. There are two access roads from Kolob Terrace Rd., the southernmost of which is very rutted and bumpy. Some of the spots have shade, while others offer no protection from the sun. We were able to get our 36' travel trailer deep into a shady spot in the area, but it was slow going and required lots of maneuvering. Smaller rigs should have no problem, although the sand can be soft and deep in spots, so keep that in mind and test it out before committing.
My only real complaint is in regards to the amount of trash, toilet paper, wipes and, yes, human excrement scattered about. It wasn't overwhelming, but disappointing to see, nonetheless.

Knowledgeable Artefacts: The role of performance documentation in PaR
The documentation of research practice is a central concern for practice-based researchers, whose projects involve a consideration of multiple sites in which knowledge is produced and experienced.
My own practice as research PhD involved a series of performative explorations of gendered play in the built environment. The documentation I produced was in the form of artists’ pages (inspired by the regular feature in performance research), containing diary entries and responses overheard from members of the public, as well as comments about my engagement with each examiner. Whilst writing up my research, I found it necessary to consider the knowledge I had gained through the process of documenting and from an engagement with the documentation itself.
My article explores the role of documentation as another site of knowledge production and performance within the thesis.

PURELY by coincidence, earlier today @sandorwalusimbi said most of EXACTLY what is contained below, so it’s only fair that he shares in it and therefore gets special mention or a dedication:
LIKE most of you, once again this year I couldn’t wait to launch into my Christmas playlists, and started off streaming Carols through the house well ahead of the official start of the season.
Every year I go through this and cannot get enough of each and every song – except that ‘Do They Know It’s Christmas’ one, by Bob Geldof and a bunch of other ignorant, supercilious chaps with more musical credentials than the intelligence required to read geography and economics in any combination.
Not long after they released the first version of that song (Yes; shockingly, they have released another one, this year, because of Ebola) Philly Bongoley Lutaaya gave us a Christmas album of our very own, my favourite ever.
Katujaguze (“Omwana wa Ssebo Yesu azaliddwa”) reverberates for me today that feeling of more than 25 years ago that Uganda was rising out of the ashes and justified in celebrating to his melodic command.
This year we celebrated twenty five years since Philly Lutaaya passed on (may his soul Rest In Peace) and I still play his music.
Back then, most of the local music I listened to was on cassette tapes (“compacts” to some of you) and recorded by the Eschatos Brides Choir – whose music is still available at the Uganda Bookshop, as per the last time I checked.
Their music was so ingrained in me, since my family is quite deeply Christian, that it was my childhood soundtrack and I didn’t consider it to be popular or hip in any way; so Philly Lutaaya’s “Sekukulu Etuuse” album awoke in me a massive realisation that we could do stuff like this in Uganda as well.
Which is why I ask myself every year at around this time why we don’t have more home-sung Christmas Carols from the fantastic musical talents and celebrities that grace stages countrywide the whole year round.
At this point I must thank Jose Chameleone for his 2013 song ‘Sekukulu’, which I only discovered last week while doing a search around this, and also Mesach Semakula for Lunaku Lukulu, released in 2012.
So what are the rest of these guys doing?
Even if it is the season to be merry, staging ‘Christmas’ concerts to earn money from dancehall and kidandali, and taking advantage of the high seasonal spirits and fairly reckless abandon to which revellers throw their wallets and purses is not really fair.
Our musicians should be singing songs that celebrate the season as well, and fit the theme of our lives at this time.
Rather than us finding good cheer from misguided types such as Band Aid, I would want Isaiah Katumwa, Brian Mugenyi and Michael Kitanda to join saxophones alongside the Watoto Children, Christ the King and Namirembe Cathedral Choirs, all having co-opted Juliana Kanyomozi, Iryn Namubiru, Jackie Chandiru, Joanita Kawalya, and Annet Nandujja as singers.
The western musicians and jazz artistes we listen to instead are simply playing back the very same old songs and Christmas Carols we’ve had and heard since time immemorial; so even our own, surely, can jazz up Hark! The Herald Angels Sing and throw in some Bakisimba or Endingidi twist.
Instead of “Chestnuts Roasting”, maybe “Nsenene Sizzling In a Frying Pan” – nanti the seasons are the same. “Winter Wonderland”? No – “Tropical Paradise”! “Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer?” Try “Mukasa/Byaruhanga/Okello the Boda-rider”, since he’s the one who’ll be delivering our gifts…
Something needs to be done differently for us, somewhere, somehow, and this is an easy one.
Or put a group of Ugandan musicians in a room to come up with a Christmas song that will make us kind, generous and giving; a song or album that will spur us into getting the money we would otherwise spend on food and alcohol and fuel for 4WDs to the village, and diverting it to a local health centre, or an orphanage, or a school somewhere.
If not generosity, God knows we need a spirit of forgiveness and goodwill sent to all these warring politicians, ex-lovers (Nigerian or others), errant or murderous maids, careless parents and drivers, angry workmates in public service or private employ or Kampala traffic, and social media trolls…the list is really long.
Perhaps if we had people we’ve grown up with and see every day, singing Christmas Carols in languages we properly identify with and sung by people we’ve grown up with, the message of the season might be better absorbed.
It’s time we rolled out music as the food of love so that we gorge ourselves on more than just food this holiday season, but with a Ugandan flavour to it.

In our previous blog post, we introduced the concept of AI's understanding of Medical Affairs and its potential for generating impact. Today, we delve deeper into how Medical Affairs can leverage AI, specifically ChatGPT, to drive greater efficiency and effectiveness for medical objectives. TikaMobile, a leading provider of healthcare solutions, is at the forefront of developing ChatGPT for medical affairs use cases. In this article, we explore the challenges of using ChatGPT in its current state and how TikaMobile is addressing those challenges to empower medical affairs professionals.
Key Concept: Utilizing ChatGPT and Manipulating Relevant Data Sets
The key concept behind leveraging ChatGPT in medical affairs is to harness its functionality and manipulate relevant internal and external data sets to support medical affairs objectives. By incorporating expert knowledge, clinical data, research papers, treatment guidelines, and real-world evidence specific to therapeutic areas of interest, ChatGPT can provide tailored information and insights to the medical affairs team.
Challenges of Using ChatGPT for Medical Affairs
- Hallucination: One of the primary challenges of using ChatGPT for medical affairs is the potential for inaccurate information. Since AI models like ChatGPT are trained on vast amounts of public data, they may lack understanding in the healthcare space, leading to erroneous responses.
- Scientific Background: ChatGPT may not possess the necessary understanding of the complex scientific concepts and specific questions commonly encountered in medical affairs. This limitation hampers its ability to provide accurate and relevant information.
- Compliance and Security: Publicly trained AI models can pose compliance and security risks when handling sensitive internal information. Sharing confidential data on a public instance may lead to unintended breaches and compromises.
- User Experience and Accessibility: To ensure seamless workflow integration for end-users, such as Medical Science Liaisons (MSL) or Field Medical personnel, it is crucial to optimize the functionality and accessibility of ChatGPT within existing systems and platforms.
TikaMobile's Efforts for Leveraging ChatGPT in Medical Affairs
- Specialized Training and Expert Knowledge: TikaMobile addresses the knowledge gap by training the AI model using data focused specifically on therapeutic areas of interest. Incorporating expert knowledge ensures that the model gains a deeper understanding of the science and can deliver more accurate responses.
- Data Standardization and Quality Control: To enhance the reliability of ChatGPT, TikaMobile employs data standardization and quality control measures. By adhering to established data standards like CDISC and ensuring data completeness, accuracy, and consistency, the model produces more reliable insights.
- Comparative Analysis Techniques: TikaMobile trains ChatGPT to perform comparative analysis between therapeutic interventions or treatment options. Techniques like network meta-analysis enable the model to compare clinical trial outcomes, efficacy, safety profiles, and other relevant factors, empowering medical affairs teams with specific and tailored information.
- Standardizing Compliance: To mitigate compliance and security risks associated with public instances, TikaMobile creates private instances of ChatGPT within its own universe. This approach ensures that confidential information remains secure and compliant with industry regulations.
The integration of ChatGPT into medical affairs holds immense potential for improving efficiency and decision-making. While challenges like hallucination, scientific background, compliance, and user experience exist, TikaMobile is actively addressing them. Through specialized training, data standardization, comparative analysis techniques, and standardized compliance practices, TikaMobile is advancing the capabilities of ChatGPT for medical affairs applications. Stay tuned for future updates on TikaMobile's ChatGPT capabilities, live in the TikaMSL platform, and join us as we unlock new possibilities in medical affairs.

However, there are not any particulars on the complete date of start of Gina Coladangelo. In reality, he’s the chief executive of a pharmaceutical firm named Rephine Ltd. Also, we are clueless about his childhood and family background. Gina’s mother and father have been dwelling of their farmhouse in Steeple Morden village. Actually, it lies on the border of Hertfordshire and Cambridgeshire. In addition, Rino’s daughter Gina has a part-time job at the UK Department of Health and Social.

Was thrashed brutally, abducted from Antigua to Dominica: Mehul Choksi
Fugitive diamantaire Mehul Choksi—accused in the Rs. 13,500-crore Punjab National Bank fraud case—claimed he was thrashed and abducted by some men claiming to be Antiguan policemen on May 23, the day he mysteriously went missing from Antigua and Barbuda. He filed a complaint with Antiguan Police asserting his alleged girlfriend Barbara Jabarica and a few others were involved in his abduction to Dominica.
8-10 men disguised as Antiguan policemen beat me up: Choksi
In his complaint, Choksi stated that he was at Jabarica's house on May 23 upon her invitation when 8-10 men disguised as Antiguan policemen beat him up mercilessly. Choksi said the men told him that they would take him to a police station but he was later taken to Dominica on a boat, on which he claimed there were two Indians and three Caribbeans.
Jabarica was part of plan to abduct him, claims Choksi
Choksi named Jabarica, Narender Singh, Gurmit Singh, and some unknown persons as his abductors in the complaint. He stated he had been on friendly terms with Jabarica for over a year, but added, "When I was being beaten up, Jabarica didn't even attempt to help me...the manner in which Jabarica conducted herself clearly points that she was an integral part of this entire scheme."
Choksi making up this abduction story, say Indian intelligence sources
However, Indian intelligence sources told CNN-News18 Choksi made up this abduction story as he's aware of the Antigua and Barbuda government's commitment to deport him. While Antigua and Barbuda's PM Gaston Browne said Choksi and his alleged girlfriend fled to Dominica, his wife Priti Choksi and lawyers alleged he was abducted from Jolly Harbour in Antigua, tortured, and taken to Dominica on a boat.
Here is what has happened so far
Choksi went missing from Antigua—where he's been living since 2018 as a citizen after fleeing India—on May 23 and later detained for illegal entry into neighboring nation Dominica. He's reportedly unwell and receiving treatment under detention at a Dominica hospital. Meanwhile, an Indian multi-agency team that went for Choksi's deportation has returned home as Dominica's High Court adjourned his habeas corpus petition to July.
Choksi, his nephew involved in India's largest banking scam
Choksi and his nephew Nirav Modi are accused of defrauding Punjab National Bank for over Rs. 13,500 crore through fraudulent transactions allegedly with the help of some of its employees—dubbed the largest banking scam in India's history. Firms linked to the duo acquired fraudulent letters of undertaking (LoUs) from PNB during 2011-17 and based on them, obtained loans from foreign branches of Indian banks.

With the upcoming release of the second season of his animated show Primal, acclaimed animator, Genndy Tartakovsky, has revealed that he has finally begun working on his newest animated feature film, Fixed. The animation legend revealed that the film will be geared towards adults with a rare R rating.
“We finally started Fixed, which is the rated-R 2D animated movie about a dog who finds out he’s gonna get neutered in the morning, and what does he do with his next 24 hours? That one I’ve been trying to sell it for 12 years. It’s gonna look really good, and it’s got heart, but then it’s got the super raunch. I’ve never really seen anything like it,” Tartakovsky told Entertainment Weekly. With an acclaimed talent at the helm with a unique and hilarious premise, Fixed could potentially serve as a refreshing animated film for older audiences.
The film will be produced under Sony Pictures Animation, which previously released the R-rated computer-animated film Sausage Party which utilised its R rating to its fullest potential with its extreme humour. Tartakovsky’s history with animation is typically geared toward children with films such as the Hotel Transylvania franchise and television shows like Cartoon Network’s Dexter’s Laboratory, Samurai Jack, and the Star Wars: Clone Wars micro-series. However, the creator has recently dabbled in more adult-oriented animation with the last season of Samurai Jack debuting on Adult Swim and Primal which premiered on the same network. Alongside Fixed, Tartakovsky is also working on Black Knight under Sony Pictures Animation, which will carry a PG-13 rating.
With Tartakovsky spearheading animated features for older viewers, perhaps adult animation can find its audience in theaters in the near future. Fixed has no set release date yet. Primal season two will release this summer on 22 July on Adult Swim.

Aam Ka Achar | Mango Pickle Recipe
We all love mango pickle don't we? You don't ...hmm that's bad then this post is not for you. And of course everyone has their own way of making pickle. The method I'm posting today is Rajasthani style, a recipe from my sister. Sis prepared and got this pickle from India, I thought of posting this for my own reference as I love this pickle and always wanted to know the recipe. This pickle is tangy, spicy and goes well with roti, paratha, puri, khakra, upma, dal-chawal or just with anything.
Raw Green Mango - 1 kg [ medium size]
Salt - 4 tbsp
Turmeric Powder - 2 tbsp
Kashmiri Red Chili Powder - 8 tbsp
Saffola/Vegetable Oil - 1/2 kg
Black pepper Corn - 10
Cloves - 4
Yellow Broken Mustard Seeds - 4 tbsp
Salt - 4 tbsp
Fennel Seeds/Saunf- 1tbsp
Nigella/Onion Seeds/Kalonji - 1 tbsp
Asafoetida/Hing - 1 tsp
Oil - 3tbsp
Fennel Seeds/Saunf - 2 tbsp
Fenugreek/Methi seeds - 1 tbsp
Here is all the spices we use.
1. Cut the mango in pieces (like 8-10 pieces of each mango), wash and dry in Sun for 30 minutes.
~ The mango pieces should be dry, if not pat dry with cloth.
2. Mix 2 tbsp salt and turmeric with mango pieces and keep side 4 hours.
3. Heat 1/2 kg oil until it's about to boil and keep aside for it cool completely.
4. Grind coarse fennel and fenugreek seeds separately (from the 'for grind' ingredients) and mix with red chili powder, mango pieces and keep aside.
5. Meanwhile in a small pan or wok heat oil and add all tempering ingredients, saute for a minute and pour on mango mixture.
6. Now add cloves, pepper corn, yellow mustard seeds, salt and mix well for all the mango pieces to get coated with spices.
7. Add the heated oil (which should be on room temperature now) to mango, spice mixture stir well and keep it in Sun for a day.
8. Next day put pickle in a sterilized and dry glass bottle or pickle jar and store.
Now the pickle is ready to consume and it stays for a year if kept properly.
~ Always make sure oil floats on top, press down the mango pieces with a dry spoon.
~ Always use clean n dry spoon.
~ It's better to keep small pickle jar separately for daily use to avoid touching the pickles every day.
~ Once in a while place the jar/bottle in Sun.
~ One can tie a muslin cloth on jar/bottle mouth this way the pickle gets air and remains fresh.
~ The red chili powder used in this pickle is important to have that nice red color, make sure you use good quality chili powder.

018 – A great start to the League One season
GasCast returns for Episode 18 – as we review our start to the League One season!
Apologies for the silence – but GasCast is BACK.
In our returning episode, we discuss the positive start made to the League One season by Darrel Clarke’s ever-improving Bristol Rovers side.
This episode is hosted by Jack Newcombe, alongside GasCast founder Max Alderson and London-based gashead Doug Walker.
It’s been a fantastic start to the season, with the rise of Chelsea loanee Charlie Colckett, the quite frankly ridiculuous goalscoring form of Matty Taylor, and our newly promoted side sitting in fifth in League One currently.
We hope you enjoy our return as much as we did. Stay tuned for further podcasts. UTG.

PLATTSBURGH — The point was to help hosts boast about the coast.
The Adirondack Coast Visitors Bureau’s fifth-annual Hospitality Training session, held at the Plattsburgh State Art Museum, acquainted hotel and other front-desk staff with area attractions.
Visitors Bureau Director Kristy Kennedy, also vice president for marketing at the North Country Chamber of Commerce, said 30 local attractions provided information to more than 50 front-desk personnel from local businesses.
Those are the people, she said, who visitors will ask for information on what’s available while they are in the area.
“This helps create that better experience for visitors,” Kennedy said. “It answers the age-old question: What is there to do here?”
Vicki Giroux of La Quinta Inn and Suites hotel, who takes part along with some of the staff, said it’s an enjoyable event. And they bring back a wealth of information to share with colleagues.
It’s a chance to learn about new attractions and get a reminder about others they may have forgotten, she said.
“It reminds them of stuff they haven’t done in a while.”
The three focal points identified in the regional Destination Master Plan — recreation, history and agri-tourism — were all well represented, Giroux said.
The Hospitality Training was also an opportunity for those from various attractions to learn about each other.
Giroux said it has been great to witness the growth of cooperation and cross-promotion by all those located within the Adirondack Coast.
This was Plattsburgh State Art Museum Director Samantha Bellinger’s second time as a participant, since she took over just 18 months ago.
“This year, we’re really thrilled to have it here,” she said.
The Art Museum is really a hidden gem, Bellinger said, with well-known exhibits such as the Rockwell Kent Gallery at Feinberg Library and the Nina Winkle Sculpture Court, the Joseph and Jane Burke Gallery and ever-changing exhibits in Myers Fine Arts Building.

The ATOM FlashCut EMHD 2Z Axis Dieless Knife Cutting & Milling System was studied and developed for companies that produce case inserts, packaging components and sound dampening materials made from soft, rigid and convoluted foams with a maximum thickness of 110mm. The combination of knife cutting & milling in a single machine allows a company to rapidly increase time to market, eliminate the costly steps in the manufacturing process including cutting dies, lamination & assembly, reduce labor costs (machine can run unattended), and gain new business by producing samples and prototypes within minutes.
The double Z-Axis head provides independent penetration control of both tools which allows the working of 3D shapes of any density foams (Expanded PE, PU etc.) or very hard materials like rubber, plastics, wood, composites even light alloys with extreme accuracy. In order to mill a wider range of materials, ATOM designed a new head, equipped with a 3kW electric router spindle, with variable speed turning from 1,000-50,000 RPM.

On both flights the crew was extremely friendly, fun and accommodating. Both flights took off on time and our flight home landed 45 minutes early!
The seats are not the most comfortable. You do have to watch out for all the added fees: checked bags, carryon bags, seats (you actually have to pay separately for your seat), food, drinks, etc.. When comparing costs - you need to add everything up. In our case, Frontier was still around $150 less than Delta. But don't be fooled by the low fare when you still have to buy a seat and pay for baggage.
The ease of booking and picking seats were great. I also like checking in via the app.
don't mind paying for snacks, that's totally fine. In fact, the prices weren't extravagant, so that was totally acceptable. I don't REALLY even mind paying the baggage fee for a carry on as long as the rules are enforced, but there were people who were BLATANTLY over the size limit who hadn't paid, which seems unfair when I paid $36. The reason I know they didn't pay??? They were MY traveling companions. I can only imagine if they did it, then many other people did it as well. So the money is no big deal when the flight is so inexpensive, but the baggage policy needs to be kept fair. I could barely fit the bag I paid for to be in the overhead storage, b/c backpacks, jackets, and purses were crowding the bin.
Boarding was easy. clean plane, crew was very friendly. I was very concerned though, when we banked left and did a complete circle in the air. An explanation from the captain would have been terrific. I made sure I was the last one to leave the plane and asked him about it when I saw him at the exit. He told me what happened but I would have liked to know while it was happening. Besides that, the coke and pretzels were divine. :)
Having flown multiple times on Frontier, I find it odd that you never hear anything from the cockpit. Like: Welcome passengers. estimated time in flight, crusing altitude, estimated arrival time, weather at destination, starting decent, etc. Of course, as an ex-military and corporate aviation pilot, the more I know the more comfortable and connected I feel.
I liked that my luggage didn't get lost and nothing was broken
Flight was delayed 3 hours. Almost got delayed another hour because the captain requested an unnecessary inspection of the airplane, cancelled it after everyone threw a fit. Seats are suuuper cramped. Don't recline. No free food or drink. Charged for overhead storage
Be aware that you will spend roughly an additional $100 round trip at a minimum in order to fly Frontier, for seat fees (there are no fee-free options) and all of your bags, checked or otherwise. Given that if you don't know this ahead of time, you'll find out when you go to check in, this can feel as if they are holding your already paid tickets hostage until you pay additional fees. It also raises the ticket prices by $100+, making frontier more expensive than other options without such fees.
Also, if you have a delayed flight, do not expect any help or information from frontier. It is now a bare bones operation.
It is fine if you take the fees into account ahead of time and don't have any delays.

Coaching Skills: Help with Toxic Workplaces
It can be disheartening to work in a toxic and therefore oppressive work environment, but coaching skills can help.
The toxicities can run the gamut from the seemingly innocuous to the blatantly abusive. While circular communication in which no clear, accurate, truthful or helpful responses are given may seem par for course in small or large strongly authoritative and hierarchical organizations, whether purposeful in nature or not, can be an indicator of toxins in the air.
We can witness this ineffective communication most often when a leader (or the leaders) have created a top-down organizational culture that is passive aggressive – meaning that there is a deep level of distrust, so much so as to not be open to truth telling, but rather talking in circles to avoid speaking truths that may offend or speaking known falsehood to maintain the hierarchical structure of us vs. them or vacillating between the two. A passive aggressive work culture looks much like what you would expect if describing an individual person:
- Indirect resistance to the demands of its workforce while outwardly agreeing to them
- Avoidance of direct confrontation, by procrastinating (organizational inertia,) pouting (shaming and blaming the workers,) not making good on promises (espoused values versus lived values)
- “Accidentally” failing to acknowledge obvious ailment(s) in the organization whether a person, or a people or process issue(s)
- Subtle insults are flying in all directions, from all levels about all levels of employee – executive to dishwasher – no one is exempt. The criticisms are never direct nor tangible but are meant to undermine and sabotage. After all passive aggression is covert aggression.
- Sullen behavior is witnessed in the top leadership. There is a dearth of emotional intelligence in the executive ranks causing “moodiness” as the default emotion for difficult managerial situations and decision-making. Gulf-wide shifts can be witnessed between high and low emotional affect. Complaining becomes an organizational cultural norm.
- Stubbornness and intractability look like an inability to adapt, be flexible and change. In organizational culture it often looks like tone deafness – the organization, its leaders and therefore everyone else cannot hear and know all parts of an analysis of what is, but stubbornly argue a position that favors a partial view of a whole, e.g., only focusing on the good or only focusing on the bad.
- Failure to finish required tasks on an organizational level look pretty much the same as when small children commit to not doing what they are tasks with – it looks like taking on an organizational goal paramount for its success and letting it languish, not giving it the right resources, effort, time or perhaps even preliminary planning before executing. It looks and feels like never reaching the finish line.
Usually employees look to upper management to set the tone and provide solid, thoughtful leadership. If our manager is a good one, our work environment usually reflects that – the employees are generally cheerful, productive, and proactive in their duties and relationships. But unfortunately, the best-case scenario isn’t always the reality.
A boss with self-centered, insecure, abrasive, or indecisive tendencies can cause waves that upset the entire feel of a department. And, sadly, the ripples don’t stop when you walk out the front door at the end of the day. Trouble at work usually finds its way home, upsetting your life with partners, children, recreational buddies, and even disturbing what should be quiet restorative time.
This traditional, top-down, authoritative style of management is what most of us expect, but it’s not the best or even the healthiest way to do things. As new workers, new products, and new business models have entered mainstream corporate culture, so has the idea that workplaces should be fluid and adaptive.
Employees today, particularly millennials, are rarely content with “good enough” environments, and the latest communication trends and research back up this push toward more collaborative spaces. You can be the source of profound organizational change at your workplace, you just need a few proven tools and techniques to help you navigate the situation.
If you’re in a toxic work environment, you have three options:
1. Tolerate the situation and tough it out.
Most people will try to make the best of things, at least for a little while. There’s nothing wrong with this approach, but in the long run it’s not sustainable, and it typically only works if you’re truly okay with how things are. Read that last sentence again.
2. Leave the company and find a position that suits you better.
Once the situation becomes intolerable, people begin looking for other options. Given the opportunity, most people will move on, hoping that a change will fix the problems. But change isn’t always an option, and it’s natural to fear that you’ll be leaving the frying pan only to end up in the fire.
3. Decide that change starts with you, and work to remedy the situation.
Addressing and fixing the situation is obviously the most difficult option, but it’s also your best chance of creating positive, lasting change. It also opens opportunities to get noticed, recognized, and maybe even promoted for the right reasons. Obviously, this is the choice I recommend! But I also recognize that it’s all well and good to say “Okay, we need to change things around here!” but how do you go about doing it? I subscribe to the concept of “managing up,” which coincidentally, dovetails nicely with the coaching skills used at HR Quirk.
To successfully “manage up,” you set the example instead of waiting for upper management to have an epiphany. You take the lead by asking questions of management and coworkers, taking the initiative on new projects, and providing solutions instead of objections. However, one caveat, you take those who are wanting to create change along with you – do not undermine these relationships – you need as many hands on-deck to move the needle. Coaching skills make each of these tasks infinitely easier and can help you positively influence a toxic work environment by:
Identifying the root cause of the problem. Whether the issues are coming from management styles, personality conflicts, or poor communication, you’ll be able to listen to yourself and others more deeply, cutting past the surface drama to accurately identify what is going on.
Being more aware and showing up from a place of neutral objectivity. Not only does coaching assist you with becoming more aware of subtle cues, but it gives you the framework and practice to respond to others from a compassionate, calm place.
Setting a positive example for those around you. Remember the saying, “A rising tide lifts all boats?” Subtly employed coaching skills bleed over to the people around you. Over time, you’ll notice them echoing your attitude and techniques and ultimately meeting you in your energetic space, rather than keeping interactions bogged down with negativity.
This “covert coaching” to impact covert aggression (and other toxic behaviors) effectively changes the tone and direction of conversations and interactions within the workplace. And, when consistently applied, you may become the ‘go to’ person at the office or the ‘go to people’ as this does not need to be a solitary endeavor; frankly it should not be. If ego is your driving force, you may very well be a part of the toxicity of your workplace. We’ll cover ego in our next installment in this series.
HR Quirk’s coaching methodologies and tools make these types of solution possible because you have a foundation from which to listen and dig beyond the surface problems. You’ll be coached in how to ask empowering questions that allow employees and managers to access innate knowledge and develop effective solutions for the difficulties they’re facing. Combining these skills with the “managing up” strategy means you’re coaching down, sideways, and up to make a difference in your workplace.
Are you in need of a positive change? Click here to request a session with me. Together, we can talk about your specific situation and explore how coaching skills can help you make a profound impact on your workplace culture.
This article is Part 1 of a series about toxic workplaces and the organizational “personality” characteristics shared by these environments. In this article passive aggression is covered.

The next two Cricket World Cups, in 2019 and 2023, is set to be reduced to just ten sides after the reduction of teams was not discussed at the ICC general conference.
That fact that the topic was not debated effectively means that ten teams will play in England, in 2019, and in India, in 2023 after this year's successful tournament had 14 teams.
There are reports that are suggesting that the decision was made because of an agreement by the Big Three (India, Australia and England), who effectively controls the game, who have a mega deal in place with a broadcasting company.
Chairman of Cricket Ireland, Ross McCollom said: "The only information that I've had from the Big Three was that it was extremely difficult to unpick the TV rights and to change things."
There is anger among the Associate nations, especially Scotland, who felt the England Cricket Board (ECB) should have done more to fight for their cause.
Scotland captain Preston Mommsen said: "There is anger at what I'm reading about the ECB and their input into this ICC meeting.
"That's going to make me and my associate colleagues very angry that they've taken such a selfish and narrow-minded approach to the entire decision-making process.
"It's very short-sighted and not good for the growth of the global game."

Abstract: This study evaluated 30 lambs, 20 naturally infected with coccidia oocysts (infected group) and 10 healthy lambs (control group). Blood samples were collected from both groups for evaluation of ascorbic acid values in plasma and blood cells analysis. Mean plasma ascorbic acid values in the infected group were lower than those in the control group (0.76 ± 0.19 and 2.00 ± 0.58 mg/dl, respectively). A decrease in erythrocyte, haemoglobin and haematocrit values and an increase in leukocyte values were determined.
Keywords: Coccidiosis, lamb, ascorbic acid, haematology

Description - Simon de Montfort by J.R. Maddicott
This book provides a new account of one of the most famous men of the English Middle Ages: Simon de Montfort. It is partly a study of the politics of Henry III's reign (1216-72), with which Montfort's career is closely interwoven; but it also looks at his lands, finances, following and religious ideals. Drawing on unusual sources, the author is able to make his biography as much a study of temperament and character as of a political career, and to write with a degree of psychological penetration rare in works on the medieval nobility.
Buy Simon de Montfort by J.R. Maddicott from Australia's Online Independent Bookstore, Boomerang Books.

Washington DC, USA - The Obama administration has been obsessed with Muslim outreach and recently tried to mend fences with the Jewish community. Given the state of the world, however, the White House ought to be focused on helping the world’s oppressed Christians.
The United States has been wary to intervene in matters affecting Christians in the Middle East for fear of validating terrorist narratives that the West is engaged in a new crusade against Islam. The result of this passive policy has been to allow Islamic extremists increasingly to dominate the debate, often with tragic consequences.
On Sunday in Egypt, a clash between Coptic Christians and the military left at least 25 dead. Copts are the largest religious minority in Egypt, representing about 10 percent of the population. Attacks on the Copts have increased since former President Hosni Mubarak’s ouster. That the military was involved in this incident was a signal that matters are taking a turn for the worse. The White House issued a lukewarm condemnation noting that President Obama is “deeply concerned about the violence in Egypt” and that “as the Egyptian people shape their future, the United States continues to believe that the rights of minorities - including Copts - must be respected.” In other words, the U.S. government will do nothing about the massacre of Christians.
Smaller Christian communities face even greater challenges. The world awaits definitive news about Iranian pastor Yousef Nadarkhani, who faced execution for apostasy after converting to Christianity from Islam. Sayed Mussa, an Afghan Red Cross worker who converted to Christianity, faced the death penalty. He was freed earlier this year after his case gained international attention but went immediately into hiding due to the public climate of hostility.
According to the State Department’s International Religious Freedom Report, the last Christian church in Afghanistan has been destroyed. The 500 to 8,000 Afghan Christians who wish to worship publicly can attend services at military bases, Provincial Reconstruction Team facilities and the Italian embassy, but there are obvious risks involved. State’s report says, “the U.S. government regularly discusses religious freedom with [Afghan] government officials as part of its overall policy to promote human rights.” Considering all the aid America has given Afghanistan over the last decade, the State Department should do more than just talk.
Domestically, Mr. Obama faces a skeptical Christian majority going into the 2012 election. According to Gallup, the president is lauded by the Islamic-American community, with 80 percent approval, but Muslims are a fraction of a percent of the population and an insignificant electoral base. Among major Christian groups, Catholics gave 50 percent approval, Protestants (representing over half the U.S. population) 37 percent, and Mormons 25 percent.
Those who are more devout give Mr. Obama lower marks than those for whom religion is unimportant. According to the most recent Gallup data, Mr. Obama has 43 percent approval of those who attend church “seldom or never,” which is 2 points above that survey’s national average. Among those who attend church weekly, his approval rate is 34 percent, seven points below average. It’s no mystery why America’s Christian faithful have little faith in Mr. Obama.


A bunch of pictures courtesy of XDA Developers gives us our best look yet at the forthcoming Google Pixel 3 XL. The pictures in question allegedly showcase the white colored variant of the handset. It’s clear from the leaked images that the incoming Pixel phones from Google (or at least the XL variant) will come with a notched display like the iPhone X.
The leaked pictures of White Pixel 3 XL also suggest that the device will be available in 4GB RAM, 64GB storage variant. There is no dual camera setup on the rear, meaning the next gen-Pixel handsets will retain the single rear shooter setup like the current and previous generation ones.
The upcoming Google Pixel 3 smartphone is expected to come with a 5.4-inch Full HD+ display, while the Pixel 3 XL might sport a larger 6.2-inch Quad HD+ display. Both the handsets are expected to be powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 chipset, the same chip that powers the Samsung Galaxy S9 and S9+.
Keep going for pictures.


The battle at the top of the Premier League got tighter this weekend as Manchester United get a hard-earned point at Anfield while Manchester City continued racking up those goals against all sides, their last victory being a 7-2 demolition of Stoke City at the Etihad.
Manchester City are absolutely threatening to break Fantasy football. The Blues have an irresistible attacking force and appear to have the capability of skittling any defence coming their way. And, in doing so, they are presenting us fantasy managers with an array of options to choose from. In this piece, we look at all the sizzling City assets who are wracking up points like anything.
Written by Nekzad Bajan
The Blues’ victory over a shell-shocked Stoke City took City to a whopping total of 17 goals from their last three home matches and 24 from the last five gameweeks. It left me wondering if we’ve ever seen a single team provide such a relentless avalanche of FPL points.
The underlying are staggering too. City have a tally of 103 shots with 23 chances created… that equates to a shot every 4.6 minutes over the past five gameweeks. Three City players got double-figure hauls in the victory against Stoke, with David Silva and Kevin de Bruyne grabbing seven and nine points respectively. The array of choice available is bewildering indeed.
Raheem Sterling’s 15 points clearly underline his potential during this spell of his career. The England international has got six goals and two assists to his name over his five starts in six gameweeks. The winger is priced at £8m and has been in Guardiola’s line-up each time he’s been available from Gameweek 3 onwards.
Then comes Sane, who is a more wide player, less inclined to tuck inside to flank the central striker. The German has produced four goals and three assists from the last five gameweeks. But, he has only made it into the starting line-up over the last three.
We must surely consider a second and perhaps a third route into City’s attack as their uninterrupted output of goals and points continues. Kevin de Bruyne and David Silva are undoubtedly the creators. They might be less explosive, but are consistent points scorers and positively scream for our attention. The Belgian chalked his fifth assist while the latter got his first goal of the season against the Potters.
It is difficult to separate the pair but the £1.5m you save by picking Silva makes him the ideal choice. The Spaniard’s goal also appears to have increased his direct threat to opponents and has added a new, convincing string to his creative bow.
When we start to examine the situation up front, our decision process gets even more cloudy.
Gabriel Jesus reacted to team-mate Sergio Aguero’s injury with a brace and a 13-point return at the Etihad. But now that he is back available for selection we need to consider how Pep will again marry the pair. He will surely not want to disrupt the perfect blend he had discovered and neither Sterling nor Sane can really be excluded. That may either lead to Guardiola rotating his two central strikers or probably adjust his personnel behind his two front men, sacrificing one of Sane or Sterling.
Even if the minutes are managed from now on, perhaps we just can’t lose while City’s thirst for scoring goals remains unquenchable. With free-scoring City sharing the points across their Fantasy assets, there is no wrong answer to this puzzle… unless you don’t have the pieces! Any manager who has been paying attention this season will have at least one City player but it is time to consider getting the maximum of three in your squad. From gameweeks 9-15, City have tasty fixtures with only a visit from the Gunners looking slightly daunting.
I wish you the best for the remainder of Gameweek 8, and hope you all have green arrows!
