5 Major Advantages of Real-Time Data Analytics
Real-time data analytics can provide improved decision making, increased visibility, better customer service, cost savings, and improved operational efficiency.
On September 22, 2023
Just like any other industry, trends come and go in the supply chain, but one thing that is not going away is the speed at which business continues to move.
Goods used to move by at the speed of horse-drawn wagons. With the introduction of the railway system, goods could be delivered across the country faster, safer, and more reliably. Once the Highway System was built in the mid-20th century, trucks began being used to transport and deliver goods locally and across the country. Now, between planes, trains, and automobiles (and freight ships), the global supply chain is a vast interconnected system.
From their initial source to the warehouse rack to their final delivery destination, it’s critical to know what’s happening with your supplies each step of the way. That’s where real-time data analytics come in.
Here are 5 major advantages of real-time data analytics:
1. Improved Decision Making
Real-time data analytics can be used to make more informed decisions because your data is always current. In the warehouse, end-of-day or end-of-shift data only gives you the breakdown of what happened after it’s all over. That’s fine for longer-term planning, but if you want the ability to quickly identify trends and patterns during the shift so you can make adjustments in the moment, your data has to be real-time.
2. Enhanced Customer Experience
Customer service is a two-way street. With real-time analytics, you can understand your customers better and provide a more personalized experience. This can lead to increased customer loyalty and satisfaction, which means increased revenue over time. You can also give your customers access to the real-time data for order and shipping updates in real-time. Knowing where their order is will give them peace of mind and help lighten the load on your customer service team.
Real-time data analytics can help you save money by eliminating the need for manual processes and reducing labor costs. With real-time data, you can identify areas of waste and inefficiency that can be addressed quickly and cost-effectively. From wasted space to idle workers, you can keep your business running at its most efficient.
4. Increased Productivity
By providing employees with access to up-to-date information, you can improve productivity and efficiency. Employees can feel empowered by seeing how their work affects business in real-time. You can also gain insights into ways to improve processes, enabling managers to manage well, leading to improved performance.
5. Improved Warehouse Management
Real-time data analytics can be used to better manage inventory levels in warehouses. By having access to accurate information on stock levels, you can ensure that you have enough inventory at any given time to avoid costly overstocks. Improve your Quality Assurance with real-time data on expiration dates, location tracking, and other important data.
If you want to stay ahead of the competition, real-time data analytics is an invaluable tool. And these are just five advantages that will help you save time and money.
Real-time data is no longer just a tool for the biggest companies. Businesses of all sizes—from single warehouses to supply chains that span the country—can take advantage of the numerous benefits. But in the end, real-time data isn’t a magic wand. It is still just another tool for you to utilize. How you use it in your decision-making process is up to you.

Another proof of High-Tech bosses gone berserk: YouTube removed a recording of an opening statement by one of President Donald Trump’s lawyers in the U.S. Senate.
Lawyer Jesse Binnall was addressing the U.S. Senate Homeland Security to explain President Trump’s case in the allegations of widespread election fraud.
As reported by Epoch Times, Binnall announced on his Twitter account: “YouTube has decided that my opening statement in the U.S. (Senate), given under oath and based upon hard evidence, is too dangerous for you to see; they removed it. To this day, ‘our evidence has never been refuted, only ignored.’ Why is Google so afraid of the truth?”
YouTube is a Google subsidiary.
According to Epoch Times, another video of Binnall’s testimony, uploaded on Dec. 17 by a separate account, appeared to be still up.
The Epoch Times, the only major media outlet that made this into a headline thus far, asked YouTube for comment. No report yet of any reply.
We told you so?
YouTube announced on Wednesday, Dec. 9, that it would remove “content alleging widespread fraud or errors changed the outcome of a historical U.S. presidential election.”
Herewith its explanation: the “safe harbour” deadline on Dec. 8 in the presidential election had passed.
What this means: Dec. 8 is the day by which all states have to certify election results within their boundaries, basically telling the Congress this is what it is.
Except: the election in November selects only the electors. They, in turn, should vote on their states’ behalf in the College of Electors (Monday, Dec. 14, this year).
Yes, it is expected that their votes would reflect their individual states’ results, but: there are still outstanding legal challenges regarding the Nov. 3 election.
Said YouTube: “For example, we will remove videos claiming that a presidential candidate won the election due to widespread software glitches or counting errors. We will begin enforcing this policy today, and will ramp up in the weeks to come.”
To cover their behinds, YouTube poohbahs added: “As always, news coverage and commentary on these issues can remain on our site if there’s sufficient education, documentary, scientific, or artistic context.”
No word on what precisely that is supposed to mean.
Binnall, who filed lawsuits on behalf of Trump in Nevada, told the Senators that the election in the Silver State was riddled with fraud.
“Thousands upon thousands of Nevada voters had their voices cancelled out by election fraud and invalid ballots,” Epoch Times quotes him as telling the Senators.
Binnall provided an explanation: “Here is how it happened. On August 3rd, 2020, after a rushed special session, Nevada legislators made drastic changes to the state’s election law by adopting a bill known as AB4.”
That bill relaxed restrictions on mail-in ballots.
Trump’s campaign, in its attempts to seek audits of voting machines or ballots, did not receive the transparency as required by law.
The presidential incumbent’s campaign officials were refused access by state election officials to the code of voting machines for a forensic review. They were not allowed to check whether “they were hooked up to the internet.”
Binnall added: “We weren’t allowed near them … we weren’t allowed a forensic audit.”
The situation would become almost a bizarre case for the Keystone Kops of the silent movie era at one turn, Binnall told the Senators: a Nevada official “locked himself in his office” and wouldn’t open the door when Trump’s lawyers tried to serve him a subpoena.

‘We should’ve done this right the first time’: GroupM North America CEO Kirk McDonald on responsible investing
A broader sense of purpose from companies is welcome but must be measured, particularly when it comes to advertising. Doing so, however, requires new standards, according to the CEO of GroupM in North America Kirk McDonald.
In fact, the media agency is now measuring its media planning and buying against five principles: brand safety, data ethics, DE&I, responsible journalism, and sustainability. The hope being that the principles help advertisers reconcile the pursuit of financial rewards with the impact it has on employees, customers and the environment.
“The five pillars we’ve established are important to almost every client who feels like advertising should be purposeful and have some goal that goes in complement to help me get more customers or sell more product,” said McDonald. “Not that any of our clients have said ‘I’m OK with 20% of my budgets being diverted to suitability issue or DE&I initiatives.”
Marketers have told GroupM execs they want both. As McDonald explained: “Clients want 100% of what they had before but they can use the creative messaging or the delivery mechanism to make it do something else too.”
For decades, companies have been told to put shareholders first. Now, even their largest shareholders are challenging that belief. Digiday caught up with McDonald to understand how he plans to help clients respond to those expectations.
Why make responsible media an area to focus on now?
We were doing all five of those points already but they weren’t all organized or held to the same rigor and measurement. We had the first chief brand safety officer inside an agency back in 2016, for example.
Even as recently as February, we launched the data ethics compass to help clients understand whether the choices around the data they use aren’t just legal, but morally right too. Marketers can’t just use data because they can. They need to really think about whether stalking someone online for the next two weeks because they looked at a pair of shoes actually makes that person feel good about making a decision about that brand at a certain point.
Does that mean advertisers are beginning to accept broader social responsibilities?
Every client we speak to is focused on diversity and inclusivity, whether that’s how they can make sure their dollars are going toward more diverse audiences or targeting diverse owners like Black or female-owned media owners. There’s also a realization among clients that disinformation can’t have the same equal access opportunities as quality journalism when it comes to media dollars. Because if you leave that then you don’t challenge risks to things like democracy and sustainability. It’s time for advertising to really step up and do its part. We should’ve done this right the first time.
Sounds similar to previous pledges. What’s different?
Companies have made promises in the past, but now there’s more pressure from their stakeholders to show how they’ve made progress. That’s changed forever.
In the past, clients said these things emotionally, or directionally. Now, we’re getting targets. So instead of saying ‘GroupM we should be doing this’ or ‘we should be heading in this direction, they’re saying ‘we want to be at this point, by this time’. That level of specificity has completely changed the conversation with every client. They’re saying to us that by the end of 2022 they want to be at a certain point and then further along the year after.
Imagine a bank that decides that economic inequities drive social inequities so they themselves as a bank has set a big, lofty target to close the gap. This is a public statement from [GroupM client] JP Morgan Chase where [they’ve] decided they want to close the financial inequity gap among Black communities. Needless to say, as we have conversations with them they’re insisting that the team who works on their business reflects the marketplace of customers who they speak to so our teams need to look at that. They’re asking for the media plan to have proof evidence in it so that they can see their media dollars aren’t going to into the same well of media partners.
We have another client who has set the goal of being all about sustainability. They’re asking for a standard of sustainability that all of us at the agency have to live to. They asked for our carbon footprint in the brief. They wanted to understand what we’re doing to behave the way they’re behaving because they’re saying from a chemistry standpoint if we don’t align with them and aren’t living that experience with them as a company we’re not the best agency partner. They’ve extended that to say everyone who we work with that is like us will get preferential treatment.
What does this mean for how GroupM works with media owners?
Our push here has been finding those media partners who will join us on this journey. We did the deal with Ozy TV last month for multiple reasons: the first was the company’s commitment to sustainability; the second vector was the company’s lens on responsible media coverage and storytelling is powerful; the third point was the company is innovative with its audience — and it happens to be Black-owned. We should look for more of these partnerships. Our clients are happy because their ads are in innovative places, that are trusted environments and in doing so are able to do the things they should’ve been doing all along.
What does that mean for GroupM as a media agency?
It causes GroupM, from an investment standpoint at least, not to be about using our scale to drive prices down. You can’t call a partner a partner if you’re job with that partner is to get more out of them but for less than you paid the year prior by leaning on you because you need the money. That’s not a scalable or sustainable narrative. We want to be able to say to partners ‘let’s do something unique and different because you’re willing to show commitments that are aligned with us as a company.’ That’s much more interesting than saying ‘give us lower rates this year.’
How do clients reconcile the stark trade-offs that come with behaving responsibly?
Clients realize that low CPM prices don’t always save you more money but they do expose you to more risk. So they understand that responsible investing may mean CPMs rise, but so will the effectiveness because they’re buying a unique opportunity or in a less competitive market. I’m hearing conversations where clients, not all of them, but more of them are saying ‘there’s been an over-index toward leaning on the procurement department to get more for less because we’re convinced that there’s margin in the agency that means we’re making too much money.’ That sentiment was bred out of the last decade but it’s finally going away. Clients are now saying ‘you need to be in business for us to be successful so let’s find a balance that works for everyone.’

The continuous rise in oil prices have forced drivers to focus more attention on fuel efficiency and car manufacturers have been working overtime to try and squeeze more out of a liter of fuel as this is becoming a major selling point for drivers.
Unfortunately, there is one fact that has been working against innovative car manufacturers — the trusted internal combustion engine (ICE) is notoriously inefficient. Typically the mechanical energy that is produced by an engine is about 20 percent of the energy contained in the fuel, most of the energy from a car’s engine goes out the tailpipe and the radiator as heat.
Furthermore, engines have to be connected to some form of transmission — a differential — to get the power to the road, and all these mechanisms use energy.
While engine design has essentially remained the same since it was first invented, the systems that manage the engines have changed radically with the development of computers.
This is where most of the efficiency gains have been derived. Modern car engines are managed by very advanced computers systems. Transmissions, for instance, have seen major changes since the invention of the manual gearbox.
There is now a choice of the traditional manual transmission (MT), the traditional automatic transmission (AT), Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT), and Direct Shift Gearbox (DSG).
Newer systems such as the CVT now used in most JDM (Japanese Domestic Market) cars and DSG transmissions, used by many VW and other European cars, offer significant efficiency and performance gains over older transmissions.

Clubs-wielding thugs have dispersed some of the protesters who shut down the Shehu Yar’Adua Expressway leading to the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja.
Our correspondent reported that protesting youths have since morning barricaded the road at Kuje, Soka and Airport Junctions, leaving motorists stranded.
At about 3pm, however, scores of armed thugs were seen running towards Kuje Junction. Some protesters who were inside a Golf car alerted their colleagues of the presence of the armed thugs.
Immediately the announcement was made, the barricade was dismantled and stranded motorists started finding their way out of the gridlock.
Our correspondent did not see any other barricade from Kuje Junction to Dantata Bridge.

Reedham Junction Appeal ‘Leverometer’ – £23,000 raised so far. Thank you!
The end of mechanical signalling in East Anglia
Since Victorian times, hundreds of signal boxes have manually worked points and signals by heavy levers attached to wires and rods. Now, in the 21st century, just one signaller can control many miles with comparative ease from a computerised desk. Soon, the once familiar sounds of bells tinging their messages over copper wires atop wooden lineside poles from box to box, levers clashing and the distinctive bounce of a semaphore returning to danger, will pass into memory.
Keeping the past alive
It is therefore vital to ensure this way of life lives on, after all railways are about people too! To this end, Network Rail have generously gifted the 60-lever Reedham Junction signal box to the North Norfolk Railway, to relocate it at our Holt site for the purpose of creating a hands-on railway signalling simulator. Here everyone from families to signalling enthusiasts will be able to work a ‘real’ signalbox and be that signalman without fear of delaying trains. Unlike most signal boxes in preservation, mainly single track with token operation, Reedham Junction will showcase the larger ‘boxes with double track absolute block with a junction too! Visitors will be able to learn the art of train regulation; the careful weaving of the Yarmouth holiday express between the Lowestoft fish trains to keep time, splitting the York express for Yarmouth and Lowestoft and in parallel shunting wagons for Cantley factory. Or simply ponder at life sitting in a cosy armchair on a dark evening, with only the comforting coal stove and a ticking clock for company.
Reedham Junction is the largest complete timber signalbox left in East Anglia offering the opportunity to relocate it as a complete unit. Volunteers have begun carefully dismantling the mechanical and electrical equipment and placing it into storage ready for the move. However, we need funds to build a new base for it at Holt and to cover the associated craneage and haulage. Then there is the restoration and repairs plus a full repaint to be done before we can reassemble the signalling equipment. We are therefore inviting you to be apart of the project by sponsoring a piece of the signalbox or to donate to our £35,000 appeal. To date, we have already raised nearly a third and with your help we can make this vision a reality.
How can I be a part of this project
We are inviting you to sponsor a piece o0f the signal box. this could be in your own name or perhaps a dedication to a oved one? There are 4 levels available and the option to pay in one go or over 25 months.
PLATINUM – £500 (£20 x 25 months) – One of 5 Big Items. Dedication plaque mounted next to your chosen item; Diagram, Relay Cabinet, Desk, Stove, Frame. Plus 2 years unlimited NNR travel (incl. Special Events)
GOLD – £250 (£10 x 25 months) – One of 60 Levers. Dedication plaque next to your chosen lever plus 2 years unlimited NNR travel (excl. Special Events)
SILVER – £125 (£5 x 25 months) – One of 175 Locking Room Weatherboards. Your dedication on your chosen weatherboard and receive 2/3 off NNR travel tickets for 2 years (excl. Special Events)
BRONZE – £75 (£3 x 25 months) – 1/3 off NNR travel tickets for 2 years (excl. Special Events)

Alan Rickman has passed away at the age of 69
While the world is still reeling from the death of singer/musician David Bowie earlier this week, we’re struck by the equally-shocking news from The Guardian about the death of actor Alan Rickman, also at the age of 69, also from cancer.
Rickman was a beloved actor from the stage and screen, probably best known for his role as Professor Severus Snape from the “Harry Potter” films, a character he successfully managed to bring to life to from the pages of J.K. Rowling’s best-selling books.
In 1988, after a decade of British theater and television roles, Alan Rickman came to Hollywood and made his big-screen debut as the villain Hans Gruber in Bruce Willis’ breakout film Die Hard. The role quickly cemented his status as one of the great film villains and he’d go on to play other villains before becoming Snape, such as the Sheriff of Nottingham in Kevin Costner’s Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves in 1991.
In 1996, he took on the role of Grigori Rasputin in the HBO film Rasputin, for which he won an Emmy and a Golden Globe.
But he also took on more likable characters such as alien science officer Alexander Dane in the sci-fi comedy Galaxy Quest, played Emma Thompson’s husband in Richard Curtis’ Love Actually after appearing with her in Ang Lee’s Oscar-winning Sense and Sensibility. They would reunite a second time for the 2010 BBC drama The Song of Lunch.
Possibly one of Alan Rickman’s finest performance, and sadly least-seen and little-known ones, was in a 2006 indie film called Snow Cake, directed by Marc Evans and co-starring Sigourney Weaver and Carrie-Anne Moss, in which he played a character that was closer to the warm and affable personality Rickman exuded in person.
Rickman also got behind the camera, directing the 1995 film The Winter Guest and more recently, the period romance A Little Chaos, which reunited him with Kate Winslet for the first time since they appeared together in Sense and Sensibility.
Beyond his television and film work, Rickman solidified his status as one of the finest stage actors with roles in many productions both in London and on Broadway, as well as directing a number of stage productions. He often worked with actress Lindsay Duncan and director Howard Davies, most notably on the 1986 production of “Les Liaisons Dangereus,” written by Christopher Hampton, for which Rickman was nominated for a Tony for his performance as Vicomte de Valmont.
Alan Rickman is survived by his wife Rima Horton with whom he had been together with for fifty years, although they only were married in 2012.
You can watch ComingSoon.net’s most recent interview with Mr. Rickman (and his star, Ms. Winslet) here. J.K. Rowling has paid tribute to Alan Rickman with the below tweets. You can also read Daniel Radcliffe’s statement here and Emma Watson’s tribute by clicking here.

The New York Rangers have a lot of youngsters joining the organization during training camp. Who are the five best who have committed to playing in Europe in 18-19?
The New York Rangers have plenty of players on their roster that spent significant time developing overseas like Pavel Buchnevich, Mats Zuccarello, Jesper Fast and de facto captain Henrik Lundqvist.
And while the team has always dipped their feet into the international prospect market, their investment in European players has never been greater than it is now.
Over the past few years they have drafted heavily from European countries. They’ve selected many intriguing prospects including forwards Filip Chytil and Lias Andersson who have already came to North American and have played some impressive hockey.
This past draft was no different. The Rangers selected six European players with their 10 picks, including two in the first round.
While the team surely would like to see all of their prospects in one place during training camp, a batch of European players with commitments for the 2018-19 season will not be there to participate.
Who are those players? And where do they rank amongst each other as prospects? Let’s take a look!

Finally, the day is here! My book, Wilderness: A Collection of Dark Tales, has been released and is available through CreateSpace; to get a copy, go to http://www.createspace.com/3800632. In about a week, you will be able to purchase it through your Amazon account, as well. Wilderness features twenty short stories of varying shades of eerie, liberally sprinkled with magic.
Many of the stories made their debut appearances on this blog, and these may feel like old friends to those who have been following. Of these, I lightly reworked two, to smooth out some of the literary bumps. The White Duchess, a tale of 19th century zombie vampirism, is a bit clearer after a few touches. Rumpledsilkskin, a story of one family’s naïve move into the terrifying province of the Johns Woods (where a tree is most definitely not just a tree), has received an extra scene or two that answer some readers’ questions.
Five of the stories in the collection are entirely new, and go out into the world for the first time in this book. They are:
Snow Eva, in which a strange, reclusive woman takes in an orphaned babe found in the forest. This is a tale of grudging love, paranoia, and fear of losing one’s youth and power. Readers may find a few slender bones of the classic Snow White tale here, more darkly clothed.
The Exchange, in which two sisters grow into their teens in very different fashion, with shockingly different dreams of the future. This is a story of jealousy and crippled empathy, and it ends with a horrifying theft (though the guilty character would quibble with me over the charge).
Death Is No Land For The Weak, in which clueless novelist Ed Spencer finds that life after death is still a struggle – this time with his own worst nature.
The Love Of Gentle Creatures, in which a shy retiring widower finds an oddly satisfying companionship with a unicorn topiary – until his peaceful solitude is threatened by a designing woman and he makes a desperate choice.
The Enchanted Lock, featuring the return of the inimitable Madame Babatskaya. Visit her snowy city and attend the Winter Ball at the Palace, where the glitter disguises avarice, young women are viewed as commodities, and Madame B. spins an ensorcelled fabric and slows time for the benefit of true love.
I hope you will give Wilderness: A Collection of Dark Tales a read, and that you will enjoy it. I hope it can transport you to the fairy tale realms I spend so much of my time imagining, that the trip will be real and thrilling for you, and that – maybe – I’ll see you there as I wander in search of the next story.
Just be careful. I can’t command all the beasts that lurk there, nor vouch for the safety of every shadow.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang reportedly wants to join Arsenal because of his father's admiration for Arsene Wenger.
The Gabon striker remains on Arsenal's wishlist in the final days of the transfer window after the Gunners had two bids rejected for his services.
Dortmund have warned Aubameyang won't be sold unless Arsenal offer £60m with the forward featuring in the draw with Freiburg on Saturday.
It remains to be seen if he will make the move but there have been questions asked about his interest in the deal, with Arsenal sixth in the Premier League and only in the Europa League.
He will pocket a hefty sum if he completes the move but his father Pierre Francois, also known as Yaya, is also playing a part.
The Sunday Times reports Wenger is well respected by Aubameyang Snr, who played in France in the 80s and 90s - and the family believe it would be a good move for the Dortmund star.
Yaya played for Laval, Le Havre and Toulouse and also featured 80 times for Gabon.
He is now currently employed as a scout by AC Milan, where his other sons have previously been on trial.
Ahead of the clash with Freiburg, Dortmund chief Michael Zorc sent a warning to Arsenal over Aubameyang.
"Either our demands are met and there will be a transfer, or they aren't met and Auba will play in Dortmund until summer," he said.
"This is how we discussed it with his family [the player's father is his agent] and how it is agreed upon.

JIJI PRESS/AFP / A pair of premium Japanese melons have sold for just a slice of the five million yen ($46,000) reached at auction last year
A pair of premium Japanese melons sold Monday for just a slice of the five million yen ($46,000) reached at auction last year, as the coronavirus bites hard.
The melons from Yubari on the northern island of Hokkaido sold for a snip at 120,000 yen at the season’s first auction — 40 times less than last year’s record price tag.
An official at the wholesale market blamed the coronavirus for keeping away rich corporate clients who compete to outbid each other for the most expensive fruit.
The virus meant the auction was smaller than usual and mostly made up of lower net worth individuals.
The successful bidder wanted to show gratitude and support for local farmers, according to local news agency Kyodo.
The wholesale market has been closed since April 20 as part of actions to stem the spread of the coronavirus, but held a one-off auction to drum up support for local products.
Hokkaido, the country’s northernmost main island and a popular tourist destination, has seen a relatively high number of virus infection cases along with Tokyo, Osaka and other urban areas.
The government is expected to lift a state of emergency for Hokkaido and the Tokyo area later on Monday.

COPPELL -- The Bombers put up a battle, but ended up on the short end of the stick tonight in Coppell, as they fell to the Copperheads 4-1. Chez Angeloni was in the zone for Coppell, giving up only three hits and one run in seven innings, while striking out seven.
The Copperheads jumped out to a quick 2-0 lead in the first inning as Runey Davis scored on Todd Emr’s sacrifice fly and Jimmy Pharr hit his first of two solo home runs. The Bombers finally got things going in the seventh inning, as they loaded the bases, but were only able to manufacture one run. With only one out, Tyler Huelsing hit a sharp groundball that the Copperheads turned into a double play to end the inning.
The Copperheads extended their lead to 4-1 in the eighth inning after Pharr hit his second home run and never looked back. Zach Neal and David De Le Chappelle then pitched scoreless eighth and ninth innings to secure the win for the Copperheads. With the loss, the Bombers dropped two games in the standings to 4-5 on the year. They will face Coppell in a rematch tomorrow as Shaun Siebert will get the start for the Bombers.

May 31, 2005 > Quad-City Animal Shelter?
Quad-City Animal Shelter?
by Nancy Lyon
The Tri-City Animal Shelter presently serves to house stray and surrendered animals from Fremont, Newark and Union City. This is a burgeoning area where the number of impounded animals often strains the shelter system's ability to care for them.
Ohlone Humane Society has a 22 year history of supporting the shelter and its animals, so it views with serious concern that the Tri-City Animal Shelter (TCAS) is in the process of contracting with the City of San Leandro to additionally house their stray animals. How would it be possible for the small and under-staffed Fremont facility to be able to adequately care for the increased number of animals?
San Leandro animals are presently impounded at Hayward Animal Shelter and that contract is not being renewed. When an OHS representative inquired about the specific number of animals that would share the Fremont shelter, Hayward responded that because of contract negotiations this public information was unavailable. Hayward apparently thinks that the San Leandro contract was NOT a good deal. Why does Fremont think otherwise?
It is hoped that the additional revenue would be used to extend shelter hours and the number of shelter staff and not just go into the general police department budget.
In any case, the spectre of overcrowding resulting in shorter holding time for adoptable animals, increased exposure to often life-threatening diseases, elevated stress levels and related aggression resulting in injuries and more animals failing temperament evaluations and being euthanized-still remains a reality.
Several times in recent months, there have been outbreaks of deadly parvovirus in shelter dogs. Given the limited number of kennels available, staff was faced with the challenging task of trying to quarantine those possibly infected while protecting incoming dogs from exposure. Space limitations found dogs held in what was previously the night depository with no place else to go. Even then, with shelter staff's tireless efforts to contain the disease, adoptable animals died. Some were on the very brink of being re-homed.
There is always the danger of disease exposure in a sheltering situation. When again, there is an outbreak that threatens lives with increased shelter population --when there is literally no where to "stash" animals--how can they be protected?
It is disturbing that public awareness of these negotiations has been so low and that there has been little chance of public response. Our animals are faced with living with and perhaps dying from the results. Times are tough, but is overcrowding worth the cost?

The four times French Open defending champion Nadal had his winning streak crushed by Söderling this spring at Roland Garros, and on Monday Söderling gave a repeat performance. Having had the best year of his career so far, he arrived in London with few expectations riding on him and under less pressure than Nadal.
Nadal did not come with excuses after the match but said that he hadn't played as well as he could. He also quickly dismissed the idea that he had come to London's former Millennium Dome with any intention to have his revenge on Söderling for Roland Garros. Söderling, thrilled with the win, said that he was pleased he'd been able to hold his nerve during the decisive moments and that his game has improved immensely this year for having had the opportunity to meet many great players on the courts.
Söderling will meet Novak Djokovic, seeded number 3 in the world, on Wednesday.

The long-awaited General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) that gives citizens in the European Union (EU) more rights to control their privacy came into effect on 25 May - a move that should inspire other countries, including India, to protect individuals' digital rights.
While the EU regulations give individuals greater control over how their data is being collected, processed and used, violations of the norms can cost companies a fortune - either 20 million Euros or four percent of annual turnover.
Any company in the world having operations in the European Union is liable to comply with the new regulation.
"The EU has been very proactive about protecting consumers' rights. We would like to see more countries like China and India come forward and make strong laws like GDPR to secure individuals' privacy," Shane Wall, Chief Technology Officer at the global printing and PC major HP, told IANS.
In India, the Supreme Court in a landmark judgment last year declared privacy a fundamental right. This set the government in motion to take steps to bring a new data protection legislation for the country, the draft of which is expected in a few months.
According to the nation's leading cyber law expert Pavan Duggal, India should not cut-paste any other country's law as it has to deal with a different set of problems.
"India's social realities are entirely different. The country has to deal with the huge issue of Aadhaar which is reeling under variety of cyber attacks because we have failed to apply cyber security as an integral part of the Aadhaar architecture," Duggal told IANS.
According to him, India's approach has to be based from its soil and the country must strive for data localisation.
At a time when several technology companies have come under the scanner for misuse of personal data of users, the new EU legislation, passed in April 2016, is seen as an attempt by the lawmakers to restrict the powers of the technology companies.
But the technology companies are not the only ones that deal with data. The regulations will impact all the sectors of the economy, including banking and finance that collect and use user data.
The reverberations of this ground-breaking legislation are set to be felt across the world as rampant data breaches and misuse of personal data for driving corporate profit become increasingly unacceptable.
The new regulations give the users of tech companies the right to see what information about them is being collected and also have it deleted if they wish so.
It also makes it mandatory for companies to tell all affected users about any data breach, and inform the overseeing authority within 72 hours, according to a BBC report.
Major technology companies have said that they are ready to comply with the GDPR rules.
"That includes creating an environment in which everyone can easily do business and know their data is safeguarded," Dennedy told IANS, adding that they are committed to help customers and partners by protecting and respecting personal data, no matter where it is from or where it flows.
Microsoft this week announced that it will extend the core rights guaranteed under the new regulations to all of its customers worldwide.
According to Rana Gupta, vice president of APAC Sales, Identity and Data Protection at digital security firm Gemalto, "we will continue to see tightening of the regulatory environment with respect to data privacy and enforcement of penalties on firms as well as fiduciary officers in the wake of data breaches resulting out of inadequate protection measures."
In order to be compliant, a business must begin introducing the correct security protocols in their journey to reaching GDPR compliance, including encryption, two-factor authentication and key management strategies to avoid severe legal, financial and reputational consequences, Gupta suggested.

Ridley Scott's developing Alien prequels — yes, seems as if that's actually happening — is in search of a new female lead to fill the void left by a lack of Ellen Ripley. But who will occupy that role? For that answer, you might not have to look much further than Sweden.
Deadline reports that Swedish actress Noomi Rapace, who famously portrayed Lisbeth Salander in The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo and its subsequent sequels, has met "and left a strong impression" with Scott and others involved with the Alien prequels. But she's not the only actress rumored for the gig, as Deadline notes that Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps star Carey Mulligan is also a possible contender.
Of the two, I'll throw my support behind Rapace. She was phenomenal as Salander, one of the most complicated and powerful female leads I've seen on screen in quite some time. If she can put that same dedication into the Alien franchise, Rapace might have two iconic leads to her name.


We illustrate that randomized serialization of the segments significantly improves the performance and results in distribution over spatially-long (across-segments) and -short (within-segment) predictions which are effective for feature learning.
Transformers recently are adapted from the community of natural language processing as a promising substitute of convolution-based neural networks for visual learning tasks.
We name this problem Modality Failure, and hypothesize that the imbalance of modalities and the implicit bias of common objectives in fusion method prevent encoders of each modality from sufficient feature learning.
Ranked #60 on Semantic Segmentation on NYU Depth v2
In self-supervised representation learning, a common idea behind most of the state-of-the-art approaches is to enforce the robustness of the representations to predefined augmentations.
Our method tends to synthesize plausible layouts and objects, respecting the interplay of multiple objects in an image.
In this work, we investigate how Gestalt visual reasoning on the Raven's test can be modeled using generative image inpainting techniques from computer vision.

Enterprises realized value in IT shared services organizations for the past three decades. Over the past two years, I\u2019ve delved into the nuances of capturing the promise of digital transformation. As I think about the impact of digital transformation on shared services, it becomes clear that shared services are in for substantial changes. \u00a0\nI blogged before about SaaS and SaaS-like products driving the collapse of the IT technology stack (server, operating system, middleware, applications, etc.). For those of you who have not read or can\u2019t remember what I wrote, the following is a quick recap. Much of the innovation in technology over the last few years has been aimed at integrating and automating the IT stack. For example, SaaS combines the infrastructure middle layer of the database and applications layer into a single consumable product. In doing this, it automates and integrates many otherwise automatous components, resulting in lower TCO and tighter alignment with business functions. It may be less clear that this same collapsing IT stack will inevitably set in motion other significant changes in both the enterprise IT organization and it business model.\nEnterprises created IT shared services organizations to centralize IT functions, professionalize services and sell high-quality services back to the enterprise at lower prices. The concept worked well improving the reliability and performance of IT, lowering unit cost of IT components and creating a professional team of technology experts for the wider organization to rely on. These enterprise IT functions naturally aligned around the technologies they supported broadly organized by infrastructure, middle ware, application maintained, application development, security, project management and so forth. Each functional team organizes around creating high quality functional services which are then resold to the broader organization. All of this makes a great deal of sense until we consider the collapsing stack which now integrates and automates much of what the functional teams currently do.\nAs the technology stack collapses, it challenges the organizational structure and operating assumptions upon which enterprise IT was built. As I examine these inevitable changes, I find the future of shared services will be very different than the functionally aligned organizations that currently dominate the space. I expect IT shared services will align their organizations to the new collapsed stack realities, enabling much better alignment with business needs and supporting the move into agile operations while delivering a significantly lower TCO to the business.\nMaintaining the functional organization undercuts the power of the integrated and automated stack. Finally, the imperative for enterprise IT is to create more business value and do it at the speed of business.\nAll this suggests that an IT organization aligned with business need would be far more effective if it were structured on the same basis as the now collapsed stack.\nThe new enterprise IT service model will take full advantage of the collapsed stack and develop road maps to accelerate the collapse by buying technology that is already collapsed. Think of a PaaS or SaaS product collapsing its own stack through automation and integration (such as Thinkpuppet, ServiceNow, Robotic Process Automation). At the same time, I expect they will deconstruct the functional organizations, replacing them with end-to-end, persistent journey teams aligned against objectives that are important to the business.\nThis deconstruction will recast the IT shared services away from a factory model that provides low-cost IT units into one of a business partner driving organizational goals at speed. The new digital models will focus on providing highly automated services that are heavily integrated into the daily business to enable addressing business needs faster. It isn\u2019t that enterprises no longer value high-quality, low-cost IT. But they want it in a services structure, not in a functional construct. Focusing on customer needs and experiences is now more important than focusing on cost and reliability.\nWhy is it important to realize this change? Because IT shared services cannot deliver on the promise of digital: far more flexibility, tight alignment with the business, close to functionality on demand and focusing on the business impact of technology. These are the enterprise expectations today, and any construct that doesn\u2019t deliver these outcomes is no longer effective in delivering new value. It\u2019s a hard truth, but we\u2019re seeing that digital transformation is leading to the death of IT shared services and enterprise IT as we know it.

SPRINGDALE, Ark. (AP) - Tyson Foods says its president and chief
executive, Dick Bond, is stepping down immediately and will be
replaced on an interim basis by former chairman and CEO Leland
Tyson, the world's largest meat processing company, said Bond
announced his decision today (Monday). In a statement, Bond said the decision was in his own personal best interest and best for the
Tyson and other meat producers have been squeezed by volatile
commodity prices, weak demand and an oversupply of meat on the
market. Last month, Tyson signed an agreement with its creditors
that puts up just about the entire company as collateral for its loans.
Also today, Tyson named Donnie Smith as senior group vice president of poultry and prepared foods.
Arkansas-based Tyson operates poultry processing plants in Albertville and Blountsville.

England manager Fabio Capello will be targeted by Russian big spenders Anzhi Makhackala after Euro 2012, according to the Daily Mail.
The Italian is out of contract after the championships next summer, but had previously stated his job with England would be his last.
However, the wealthy Russian side, who have already signed Samuel Eto'o from Inter Milan, could tempt the England boss for a final hurrah.
Capello would be able to take charge for the beginning of the new season, with the Russian season changing to an autumn start next season.
At his disposal, Capello would have businessman Suleyman Kerimov's £5 billion fortune to help build a team capable of competing on the european stage.

I recently completed another hat and a lap blanket for a friend’s father who recently went into hospice.
This is a pretty standard watchcap pattern, but with a twist: you knit into the back of the knit stitches, which gives the whole thing a little bit of an angle.
I love the decreases on this pattern! They turn out so crisp and tidy and symmetrical! So pleasing. The friend for whom I made this hat has been going through kind of a rough time lately, and I tried to think positive thoughts while I was knitting it.
This lap blanket was pretty simple to come up with and make. I’m pretty happy with how it turned out and I hope that it will be useful. The colorway of the yarn I chose (and for which I named the pattern) is Sequoia, and I thought, what better metaphor for the strength one needs when going through or helping someone go through a hospice situation.
I wrote the pattern for this and published it as a free download on Ravelry. Please feel free to download it and share it with your friends! I think this might make a nice project for making give-away items as well as for those you might know who could use one.

“Change a child’s life.” Those words were the first thing I saw as I dejectedly walked out of the office of my undergraduate thesis advisor. He had just told me my summer research internship was cancelled due to lack of funding. This was going to be a HUGE opportunity for me as I was accepted to a joint program at Carnegie Mellon University and the University of Pittsburgh to study the impacts of autism on neurological communication with some of the world’s leading neurological researchers.
The words, “Change a child’s life,” were on a flier taped to the wall outside my professor’s office in the Cleveland State University Psychology Department. The flier was looking for in-home Applied Behavioral Analysis (ABA) tutors for a child with autism. It’s funny how things work out. These were just the words I needed to see at that time in my life and little did I know the impact these words would have on my life’s course.
Suffice it to say I was intrigued and called the number. This phone call led to me spending the next several years working with children with autism by providing early intervention therapy (e.g. applying speech therapy techniques, social integration, and daily life skills). Did I change a child’s life, as the flier offered? I like to think so, as we made great strides in their language, socialization, and daily functioning.
What I know for certain is that they changed my life. This experience gave me firsthand knowledge of how impactful and important early intervention and speech therapy, the same services The Orange Effect Foundation helps fund, is to children with communication deficiencies. I may no longer be on the front lines of patient care, but this experience stays in the forefront of my mind for every clinical trial I have overseen. This experience has led me to always start with the question: “How is what we are doing improving patient lives?” This question also pervades my work with The Orange Effect Foundation. In fact, it is one of the things that makes me so proud to have been afforded the honor of joining The Orange Effect Foundation. I like to believe everything The Orange Effect Foundation is trying to do is improving the lives of those we serve.

Individual households suffer particularly
Housing costs exceed a third of the budget
The supply of apartments continues to decrease and rents are rising. This is putting an increasing strain on the budget – even outside the city limits.
Published: 10 minutes ago
Updated: 8 minutes ago
The supply of apartments continued to decrease in 2022. In the picture: residential development in Aargau.
There is a housing shortage in Switzerland. The situation is likely to worsen further in 2023, according to the consulting firm Wüest Partner. The result: the declining supply of apartments is causing prices to rise on the rental housing market. And leads to an increasing burden on the housing budget.
According to a study by Wüest Partner published on Tuesday, the supply of apartments continued to decrease in the past year. The supply rate – i.e. the properties on offer as a percentage of the stock – is 4.7 percent. In the previous year it was still 5.8 percent. Such illiquidity has not been observed since 2013, the real estate experts sound the alarm.
Population is growing – construction activity is not
One reason for this is the decline in construction activity. The tourism communities in particular are feeling the long-term effects of the second home initiative. But even in big cities like Zurich or Geneva, the supply of rental apartments is very limited. There is also strong population growth. In addition, construction activity is unlikely to pick up again before 2024.
This lack of rental apartments and inflation caused rents to rise as early as 2022. The trend is likely to continue in 2023 – Wüest Partner expects asking rents to increase by 2 percent in 2023. Since the mortgage reference interest rate is also likely to be raised, rents in existing contracts will also increase.
A third goes to housing
In the study, Wüest Partner also examined the development of the housing cost burden. After a few stable years, this has recently risen again. The number of municipalities in which the housing cost burden of tenant households is on average more than 30 percent increased between 2020 and 2023 – among the 168 municipalities with more than 10,000 inhabitants from 20 to 90 municipalities.
A higher housing cost burden can be observed in northern and western Switzerland as well as in the urban agglomerations. The highest loads are recorded in the cantons of Ticino and Solothurn. But also in and around Basel, Zurich and Lucerne. The relative housing cost burden is lowest in the cantons of Appenzell-Innerrhoden, Glarus and Jura.
High housing costs in the agglomeration
It is striking that the housing cost burden is not only high in the cities. Even outside the city limits, rent is an above-average burden on the budget. If you include the commuting costs in the analysis, the relative burden in the big cities is even lower. However, households outside the centers usually have significantly more living space.
According to Wüest Partner, single-person and single-parent households are suffering the most from the rising housing budget. Even if you change apartments, the costs increase significantly due to the sometimes significantly higher market rents. It is therefore likely to become even more difficult in the future to find affordable housing, especially for employees in the low-wage sector or who are unable to work from home. (dvo/SDA)

Organization Studies as Applied Science
Organization Studies as Applied Science:The Generation and Use of Academic Knowledge about Organization Use Matters and Matters of Use: Building Theory for Reflective Practice
WP No. 066- June- 2008
Chris Huxham and Paul Hibbert
Debate about validity and rigour in qualitative management research has ranged widely in recent years (Gergen and Gergen 2000). Many validity concepts have been proposed and terminology such as trustworthiness, transferability, credibility, dependability, plausibility, authenticity of various sorts, interpretive validity and so on has entered the academic discourse alongside the more traditional notions of internal, external and measurement validity, and reliability (summarized, for example, in Lincoln and Guba (2000) and Miles and Huberman (1994)). Such concepts highlight alternative criteria for considering the validity of the link between raw data and theoretical or other output of the research. In this article, however, we aim to extend the discussion of validity and rigour beyond this single link, through holistic consideration of the wider research process. We present the discussion through an analysis of a particular approach to organizational research, which is explicitly concerned with developing theory to support reflective practice. This is the Interpretive Clustering Approach (ICA) (Author 1 2003; Author 1 and Co-author 2000) to theory building in a Research Oriented Action Research (RO-AR) (Eden and Huxham 2006) context. We have related the specific issues that we raise to this approach, to provide an illustrative case; the broad issues, however, relate to a wide range of organizational research methods.

“Now all the tax collectors and sinners were coming near to listen to Jesus. And the Pharisees and the scribes were grumbling and saying, “This fellow welcomes sinners and eats with them.” (Luke 15:1-2; NRSV)
At a gay disco while serving in the Air Force, some friends and I were standing having some drinks when we noticed a group of young men laughing, dancing, and conversing in Spanish. “Taco Queens!” sneered someone in my group. The remarked surprised me and when I said, “Hey, not cool, I’m Mexican.”, my friends laughed and assured me I was different, in that I didn’t “act” Mexican. “You’re American, Robert, you’re one of us.”
I marvel how oppressed people will oppress others with labels of being “other” and “unacceptable”, even as we live in a world where in some places it is still dangerous to be openly Lesbian, Gay, Bi or Transgendered.
Jesus must have marveled as well, that the Pharisees and the scribes attempted to fault Jesus with eating with the “unacceptable other”, even as they lived in first century Roman Empire Palestine which had little regard for the Jewish people and culture.
In the parable of the lost sheep, Jesus points us, we are all equally valued and loved in the eyes of God…no matter what people think or say about us!
That night, I looked at my friends, smiled and told then, “Oh, believe me, I AM a Taco Queen” and left them to join my people for a great night out.
Prayer: Querido Dios, thank you for loving us as we are, Taco Queens and all the Queens in the world, who dance the night away rejoicing that Jesucristo came to show us the way to you. Amen!
Listen! The wages of the laborers who mowed your fields, which you kept back by fraud, cry...Read More
