When it comes to fine Indian dining, Bombay Dreams has been an institution for more than a decade. Bombay Dreams has been in the forefront of Indian restaurants in Hong Kong for a long time and continues to do so. You will barely find an Indian food lover in Hong Kong who has not heard of Bombay Dreams. It serves authentic Indian fare with a fine dining environment which focuses on a relaxing experience, specially for families.
Recently shifted and renovated, Bombay Dreams offers a swanky new environment with wall to wall windows offering the bustling street view of Central from the 4th floor. The decor is modern chic and you can see the chefs working hard in the see-thru kitchen. The 2 tandoors in the kitchen are done up to look like shiny disco balls, making the chef look like a DJ, spinning some…roomali roti's! The menu is designed by Indian Master Chef I.R. Qureshi and features many quintessential Indian dishes but also features some of the more contemporary variety.
Lunch Buffet – Monday – Saturday, 12pm-3pm.
The best way to sample a variety of Indian dishes at Bombay Dreams is to have their lunch buffet. With a myriad of starters and mains available, you must make sure to skip breakfast on the day you decide to eat here. For HK$ 128+10% service charge, you cannot go wrong for an Indian lunch buffet in Central.
Starting off with some Indian street fare appetizers like Gol Gappe, and Bombay Chat. A must try is the Palak Patta Chat, which is spinach dipped in gram flour paste and fried, served with sweet chutney and yogurt. These appetizers are served at the table and taste fresh. Also served is the classic South Indian treat, Dosa, But this dosa comes with a welted curried spinach filling rather than the usual curried potatoes. The buffet spread includes more appetizers like Rasam, Medu Vada, Murgh Tikka Methi Malai (chicken tikka), Lamb boti kebab, 6 different kinds of salads and raita (yogurt relish).
There are no fixed Main's in the menu as they are made fresh every day and change quite often depending on the availability of the ingredients. This is a really good sign, as you know that no matter what is served, it will be top quality.
However, some of the dishes are mostly available, like Dal Bombay, Paneer kachi mirch hara Pyaaz (Paneer with black pepper and spring onions), Chatpati Gobhi (tangy cauliflower), Andhra Fish Curry, Tawa Murgh (chicken cooked on a pan with sour onions).
For deserts there are fresh cut fruits and 3 types of deserts like rasmalai, gulab jamun etc. Remember these dishes change frequently.
Bombay Dreams is a great place to go out with your colleagues for weekday lunches or with family on a Saturday or a Sunday (they have a Sunday Brunch with sparkling wine as well). Make sure you have plenty of time to 'walk the food off' or a bed nearby as the compulsory food coma will kick in very quickly after the buffet.
Buffet lunch, 12.00 Noon – 3.00 PM and a la carte dinner 6.00 PM to 11.00 PM daily & Sunday Bubbly Brunch Buffet 12.00 Noon to 3.00 PM
Bombay Dreams | 4/F, 77 Wyndham Street, Central | Tel: 2971 0001

3701 New Hampshire Ave, NW
Back in March we were saddened to learn that Sweet Mango Cafe had closed "until further notice" across from the Petworth Metro. Now they're back – sorta – 3701 Jerk Station had a soft opening yesterday. I stopped in yesterday and the owner was so happy – he was giving away jerk chicken for free to celebrate. He told me the official opening is Tuesday and they hope to lease space here when the new development comes. On that front UrbanTurf reports a 21 unit building is coming:
"The 65-foot, five-story residential development will have one and two-bedroom residential units on floors two through five and there will be retail on the ground floor."
The owner of 3701 Jerk Station (who wishes he named it DC Jerk Station but oh well) says he hopes to lease the retail space in the new development too. Stay tuned all around and in the meantime – enjoy some jerk chicken!
And here's a bit of awesomeness courtesy of Sweet Mango – here's what the corner looked like in 1927:

The Grand March tradition is not only a great opportunity for taking photos, it also adds a touch of elegance and class to your whole event.

Add your prom or grand march details to the banner and hang it above the entrance to announce all the pertinent information or welcome guests.
Set up an Incandescent Eiffel Tower to set the scene. The tower is 7' tall and 2'3" wide and is lit with 350 lights.
The Lion Head Water Fountain makes a beautiful focal point for your grand march. The polyresin water fountain is 4'8" tall and 2' 9 ½" wide. Add the elegant wooden bridge for students to walk over and pause for perfect photos!
Use silver gossamer or blue gossamer draped from floor to ceiling to create a lovely backdrop for your grand march. Cover the floors with green tissue grass and flat paper to create the illusion that students are walking through a Parisian park.

with Sonia Grgas, Reference Librarian
Shakespeare's controversial comedy The Taming of the Shrew sees willful, independent Katherina transformed into a willing, obedient wife to Petruchio. It is one of Shakespeare's most re-visited plays, with adaptations including Kiss Me Kate, and 10 Things I Hate About You.
Based on The Taming of the Shrew, Vinegar Girl features Kate, a socially awkward young woman, adored by the preschool children she teaches but misunderstood by her peers. Her father is a scientific genius, but not so great on emotions. About to lose his (equally genius, equally socially inept) research assistant, Pyotr Cherbakov, because of visa problems, and desperate to save the project that is his life's work, he comes up with a plan: Kate will marry Pyotr who will then be able to stay in the country and finish the project. The plan sounds perfect, except for one small hitch: Kate.
Why not enhance your reading experience and read the play The Taming of the Shrew and/or watch one of the film adaptations either before or after you read Vinegar Girl?
This program is free.
No registration required.
Books are at the circulation desk.

As the workforce changes, generational differences become more apparent.
Some of us can quickly connect to someone who remembers Blazing Saddles, Dallas, Seinfeld or Saved By the Bell. However, when people of different generations are teamed together in the workplace, the variations between the generations can cause "JR" and "Screech" to butt heads.
The Traditionalists become annoyed, and the Millennial's are constantly checking their phones and social media feeds. Then there are the Gen Xer's who think the Baby Boomers should be more open to changing the way they run meetings. These generational differences often cause issues to arise which could lead to flared tempers, therefore inhibiting any thoughts of teamwork.
However hopeless it seems for people from ages 20 to 70 to work together productively, managers should focus less on the differences. Find similarities to minimize generational differences, encouraging everyone to work together across age groups.
Still true today, a University of North Carolina Chapel Hill study on generation gaps found that employees of different age groups actually have more in common than we might assume. Every generation wants to work on challenging projects and be competitively compensated for their work. They also want to have opportunities for learning, growth and advancement in their jobs, be treated fairly and be able to establish a work-life balance.
Everyone also agrees the ideal leader leads by example and are accessible. They help others see how their role contributes to the organization and they act as a coach and mentor, provide challenges and ultimately holds everyone accountable.
What can organizations do to help draw out commonalities and foster a spirit of teamwork, collaboration and communication across generations?
- Offer employees opportunities to learn and develop so they can be more successful.
- Develop strong and genuine leadership programs to improve existing leaders' skills and abilities. This includes finding and fostering future leaders within the organization.
- Offer coaching and mentoring programs to mix things up across the generational divide. Your organization's communication and career satisfaction will improve.
- Create employee reward systems that acknowledge employee contributions, so everyone who innovates or saves money gets recognized — young, mature, and somewhere in the middle.
- Develop processes which help employees at all levels cope with a rapidly changing workplace. For example, installing a new computer system requires training for everyone!
- Clarify expectations about how different generations: define work-life balance, conduct their professional behavior and encourage workplace engagement, thus eliminating speculation.
- Offer work-life balance programs that meet employee's needs at every life-stage.
At the core people really aren't that different, no matter what their age. But where differences do arise, view them as strengths. Stephen Covey recognized this in describing his "6 habit – synergy". He said it involved creative collaboration: "People bringing all their personal experience and expertise to the table. Together, they can produce far better results that they could individually. Valuing differences is what really drives synergy."
"Differences," said Covey, "add zest to life."

The Energy Rating Index Compliance Alternative (ERI path) was first introduced in the 2015 IECC and is brand new to Pennsylvania. This is the only path in the IECC that considers appliance and HVAC equipment efficiencies and may be attractive to many builders because of its flexibility and the availability of utility incentives for rated homes. Under this path, all onsite energy code verification is done by a Home Energy Rater who performs insulation and air barrier inspections, blower door tests, and duct leakage tests. This webinar will provide an overview of the Energy Rating Index and Home Energy Rating System along with a review of documentation that code officials should collect and examine.

An All-new SYNC Season on Its Way
Written by Francisca Goldsmith on Thursday, January 17, 2019
Kwame Alexander returns from Blink! this summer, both as author and narrator. SWING, his newest novel written with Mary Rand Hess, weighs in at four hours—a great beginning length for new audiobook listeners—and won AudioFile Magazine's Earphones Award.
Also from Blink! listeners will have access to McCall Hoyle's MEET THE SKY, narrated by Morgan Fairbanks. This six-hour listening experience is complete with appropriate Outer Banks drawl and the added dimension of chapter heading quotations from the poet Alfred Lord Tennyson.
Naxos AudioBooks also supplies teens with a pair of fine listening experiences, both of which are classics. One week this season you'll have the opportunity to discover, hear, and keep William Shakespeare's OTHELLO in an Earphones Award-winning full cast production that runs two and a half hours. Another week, Oscar Wilde returns for another spin with teen listeners, this time through the voicing of master narrator Rupert Degas in THE CANTERVILLE GHOST. At just an hour and a quarter this is one everyone will want to hear over and over and take out again for times when hilariously spooky entertainment is in order.
The SYNC season opens April 25. Across the next several weeks from now, we'll be introducing other publisher contributions coming your way. You can also look forward to the complete roster of thematic pairings to be published some time in the next six weeks or so, along with a complete toolkit of posters and other publicity material. Stay tuned.

Feb 23, 2018 - The Jahan
Our final day aboard Jahan brings us to the lower Mekong delta, where much of Vietnam's rice is grown. It is also home to some of the country's largest cities, and as we cruise along the river we notice the steadily increasing presence of urban areas and river traffic. Our final Tai Chi class is held on the upper deck, and the final steps require our utmost balance and coordination as we "open up our wings".
We board the local boats and make the short journey to Binh Tanh island, home to a village of mat weavers. A type of reed grass grows along the muddy banks of the island, from which the stems are collected and processed to provide the raw materials for mat production. The weavers work in pairs – one on the loom, the other feeding in the strands. And while they make it look easy, we quickly learn that the process of quickly feeding the loom is a highly refined art. We also see some baskets made of water hyacinth. While we walk through the village we encounter a full range of fruit trees growing amongst the brick and concrete houses. The concrete roads are narrow with an intermittent stream of motor scooters buzzing through. We also learn that recently frog farming has also proven a lucrative cottage industry and allowed some families to renovate or rebuild their houses.
In the afternoon we board the local boats to visit Cai Be, another populous district of the delta. We visit a family run business who use rice and coconut to make snack foods. Rice flour is mixed with water and cooked to make rice paper which can be used to wrap spring rolls or even candy. Cooked rice can be fermented in water and distilled to make a potent 80 proof whisky. Rice can also be heated in a large pan to make "pop rice", which makes a delicious crispy snack when mixed with other flavours. Finally, the white flesh of the coconut can be scraped out and pressed to extract the oily milk. This can be boiled down to form a thick caramel like molasses, which is then kneaded and rolled into strips before being cut into individual lollies. This family enterprise shows the great versatility of two basic staple foods.
Join us for updates, insider reports & special offers.

text: Who doesn't love an enjoyable experience when flying? I know I do. However, enjoying a flight is a rarity these days, especially when top airliners are making their own "headliners" from ripping people off planes, arresting them or the customer service is of the worst quality. Personally, when I think of the most enjoyable experience that I've had from terminal, to boarding, to getting off the plane, I can only think of one airline. That airline is Delta and I happened to purchase their stock last week.

PSL4: 3 reasons why the best entertainment package of 2019 has arrived
If you love stories with happily ever afters, then Pakistan Super League (PSL)'s story might just be the right pick for you. I know I may sound biased, but I absolutely love PSL out of all the leagues around the world because it defied all odds to make its own name in a densely populated T20 market. As PSL4 is around the corner, let's peek at what it's got in store for us to look forward to!
Star-studded opening ceremony
I know what everyone first noticed when PSL announced its plans for the opening ceremony: is that Pitbull? Is this a fake post?
The Florida based singer @pitbull a.k.a Mr. Worldwide is excited to be part of the #HBLPSL, here is what he has to say! #KhelDeewanoKa— PakistanSuperLeague (@thePSLt20) January 31, 2019
More about HBL PSL Opening Ceremony 👉 https://t.co/Uj1fIyOAcR pic.twitter.com/Q5gHUsaSKJ
PSL has been around long enough to prove its own worth. It survived all the turbulence in its early days and seems all prepared to spread its wings and take off. Pitbull is the first international star with a popular following around the world who will have anything to do with a Pakistani event – PSL.
I know the talk in the town is that Pitbull is bagging a ridiculous amount for a performance that may be over before you got back with your snacks from the kitchen. From my perspective, hiring Pitbull is more than just having him jump around on the stage singing lyrics that may sound like gibberish to the locals. It's about getting the brand name out to global audience via Pitbull's social media platforms. I like that PSL is dreaming big even if that means we have to be generous with our pocket.
If Pitbull is not your cup of tea, there is more in store for you at the opening ceremony. Pitbull is nothing more than a marketing gimmick to get some more global eyeballs but the real performance that everyone in Pakistan should be looking out for is Junoon!
Pakistan's legendary sufi rock band Junoon is excited to be a part of the Grand Opening Ceremony lineup. Catch them live at the Dubai International Stadium on the 14th of February at 8 PM— PakistanSuperLeague (@thePSLt20) February 10, 2019
Get your tickets now: https://t.co/LwPb9DRDuQ pic.twitter.com/kTeaswK3uR
For a band that holds so much heritage and legacy, if it ever was to re-unite again, then PSL must be the right platform to make it memorable. Having Ali Azmat and Salman Ahmed share the stage again is a dream come true for a lot of music fanatics that I have come across. On a side note, let's not forget Ali Zafar's contributions in each of the first three editions of PSL and we surely will miss him this time around.
AB de Villiers enters PSL
Enough of the showbiz, let's talk cricket. This year's first pick from the players draft was a no-brainer and thankfully the turn went to Lahore Qalandars who often don't bother making intelligent decisions at drafts anyway. De Villiers was an obvious first choice and I doubt any of the other five franchises would have picked anyone else.
Lahore Qalandars will win PSL 2019, InshAllah.— Ayeshay (@champagne_lassi) February 5, 2019
Good night to everyone except those who disagree.
With de Villiers all set to make his debut in PSL, I would suggest anyone going to the stadium to start doing some fielding drills for 'catch a crore' because this man is Mr 360. It won't matter much which part of the field you find a seat in because he can pull, paddle sweep, reverse sweep, cover drive or simply smash one down the ground. He doesn't discriminate against any side of the field so everyone should have a fair shot at 'catch a crore'.
Big news for Lahore Qalandars and Pakistan Cricket. AB de Villiers is coming to Pakistan for two LQ matches in PSL on 9th and 10th March. pic.twitter.com/HGl7bsfnkz— Faizan Lakhani (@faizanlakhani) January 14, 2019
With de Villiers under their sleeves, PSL4 seems to be the season that will bring Lahore Qalandars back to life. Wounded Lahore has found itself a superman in the field and a mad man with the bat. If de Villiers gets going, then Fawad Rana can plan on bringing his dancing shoes with him and perhaps practice a few moves already because the camera sure does love him.
Pakistan bags eight matches
Karachi Kings and Lahore Qalandars have two things in common: loud fans and empty shelves of trophies. Luckily, we can put the energy of their fan base to better use this time around. PSL4 is bringing eight matches back home and if anything, Lahoris and Karachiites are the best at screaming their lungs out to support their teams. Especially since we all know that the Karachi versus Lahore battle is a never ending one!

Whether you belong to one of these two beautiful cities brimming with passion or happen to be a neutral fan like myself, games in Karachi and Lahore are something you would not want to miss out on. Both cities may lack victories in the field, but they sure do know how to turn up in numbers.
Luke Ronchi "There was a lot of excitement all around when we landed in Karachi for the PSL final last year. The energy in the city was amazing & it felt like we were part of a big festival. Winning the PSL trophy in Karachi is a memory I will cherish for a long time" #HBLPSL— Saj Sadiq (@Saj_PakPassion) February 9, 2019
Music, laughter and dancing in the stands – for eight days, the differences within our society will become a big fat blur. One can only wonder why we can't stay in such harmony for the rest of the year but even if it happens for a moment, let's make sure we live it to the fullest.
Lucky people of Karachi and Lahore, call it your national duty or whatever else you may want but we trust you to fill the stadiums to the very brink as always!
Meanwhile, the rest of us outside Lahore and Karachi need to mark our calendars and get our excuses ready to call off from work; I am using "I fell off the stairs" so please pick a different one. PSL4 is about to bring the best entertainment package for 2019 and we better be prepared to hog our stadiums and our television screens.
Lastly and most importantly, don't forget to enjoy yourself because no matter which team loses, at the end of the day, PSL and its fans have already won. Congratulations to Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) and each one of you out there for the fourth season of PSL.

Phil Hughes: Injury a reminder of cricket's dangers - Agnew
- From the section Cricket
The shocking injury suffered by Phil Hughes on Tuesday is a stark reminder of the dangers faced by cricketers when the ball is coming at them at speeds of up to 90mph.
Anyone who has played the game at any level will be hoping and praying that the Australia batsman comes through this.
Thankfully, since the introduction of helmets 35 years ago these incidents really are very rare.
Protective headgear has prevented injuries to cricketers of all ages and all abilities and will continue to do so.
There are also limits on the number of short-pitched deliveries per over and rules that give the umpire the power to intervene if he feels a bowler is overstepping the mark in an effort to intimidate the batsman.
Cricket, however, is a sport, and there are very few sports that don't carry any element of risk.
A bouncer is a legitimate delivery and remains a crucial part of a bowler's armoury. Removing it entirely would be like asking a boxer not to use the jab.
Sports have to carry an edge, and the best you can do is to eliminate risks as far as you can.
One aspect that sometimes gets overlooked is the impact an incident like this can have on the bowler. One minute you are doing your best to be a big macho quick and the next you have a guy unconscious on the floor.
During a 1975 Test match, New Zealander Ewen Chatfield swallowed his tongue and stopped breathing after being hit on the temple by English fast bowler Peter Lever.
Chatfield's life was saved on the pitch by England physio Bernard Thomas, but I remember how utterly heartbroken Peter was at what had happened.
ICC match referee Ranjan Madugalle still carries a scar on his lip from where I hit him during an England A tour match in Sri Lanka in 1985.
At the time, I was absolutely devastated, but in reality I was only doing my job.
Nowadays, with so much more cricket being played around the world, instances of batsmen being hit on the head are more frequent. But whether or not that results in injury is largely down to luck.
Hughes was desperately unfortunate that the delivery from Sean Abbott hit him on the lower back of the skull, one of the few areas that is not protected by a helmet.
Now, we can only hope that fortune is on his side.
|MCC laws on dangerous and unfair bowling
|(i) The bowling of fast short pitched balls is dangerous and unfair if the bowler's end umpire considers that by their repetition and taking into account their length, height and direction they are likely to inflict physical injury on the striker irrespective of the protective equipment he may be wearing. The relative skill of the striker shall be taken into consideration.
|(ii) Any delivery which, after pitching, passes or would have passed over head height of the striker standing upright at the popping crease, although not threatening physical injury, shall be included with bowling under (i) above, both when the umpire is considering whether the bowling of fast short pitched balls has become dangerous and unfair and after he has so decided. The umpire shall call and signal no ball for each such delivery.
Jonathan Agnew was speaking to BBC Sport's Sam Sheringham

Royal Bank of Scotland Cuts Funding for Arctic Oil and Tar Sands/Oil Sands, Tightens Loans for Coal
The Royal Bank of Scotland has issued an updated energy policy that eliminates funding for Arctic oil and tar sands/oil sands projects and cuts lending to companies that profit largely from coal.
"If we're going to support our customers in the long run, then it means addressing the challenge of climate change and the risks and opportunities it presents," said Kirsty Britz, RBS' director of sustainable banking. "We want to help build a cleaner, more sustainable economy for the future, and these policy changes form part of our broader approach to this major issue."

The new policy measures "cover the mining, power, and oil and gas sectors and are aimed at taking a tougher line on climate change," The Guardian reports, in a story picked up by the Institute for Energy Economics and Financial Analysis. "The bank will not provide 'project-specific finance' to new coal-fired power stations, new thermal coal mines, oil sands or Arctic oil projects, or those involved in 'unsustainable' vegetation or peatland clearing."
The bank also plans to "tighten restrictions on general lending to mining firms that source more than 40% of their revenues from thermal coal, and power companies that generate more than 40% of their electricity from coal," the paper adds. "The former threshold was 65%."
The bank's announcement drew praise from ShareAction project manager Sonia Hierzig. "The strengthened energy financing policies of RBS implement many of ShareAction's recommendations for more robust management of climate-related risks," she said. "They also make RBS the bank with the strongest energy sector policies out of the top five UK banks."

Skip to comments.Q Anon: 01/21/20 Trust Trump's Plan ~ Vol.209, Q Day 816
Posted on 01/21/2020 7:42:15 PM PST by ransomnote
(h/t HoneysuckleTN)
Q is the result of the sacrifices and commitment of countless patriots to win back our captured country from the Deep State and achieve the transformation President Trump promised in this campaign video. President Trump has said the awakening of the public is key to this transformation.
Q describes this awakening as follows:
"The Great Awakening ('Freedom of Thought), was designed and created not only as a backchannel to the public (away from the longstanding mind control of the corrupt & heavily biased media) to endure future events through transparency and regeneration of individual thought (breaking the chains of group-think), but, more importantly, aid in the construction of a vehicle (a ship) that provides the scattered (free thinkers) with a starter new social-networking platform which allows for freedom of thought, expression, and patriotism or national pride (the feeling of love, devotion and sense of attachment to a homeland and alliance with other citizens who share the same sentiment).
When non-dogmatic information becomes FREE & TRANSPARENT it becomes a threat to those who attempt to control the narrative and/or the stable.
When you are awake, you stand on the outside of the stable (group-think collective), and have free thought.
"Free thought" is a philosophical viewpoint which holds that positions regarding truth should be formed on the basis of logic, reason, and empiricism, rather than authority, tradition, revelation, or dogma.
When you are awake, you are able to clearly see.
The choice is yours, and yours alone.
Trust and put faith in yourself.
You are not alone and you are not in the minority.
Difficult truths will soon see the light of day.
We discuss Q drop content on our threads to learn the truth about the capture of our country, after a lifetime of reading, watching and listening to lies and distortions used to control us and tame the American spirit. The truth shall set us free.
For summaries of Q drops (i.e., posts) discussed on our threads, I invite you to read the latest editions of The Oracle, which include helpful links and quotes to explain Q drop content.
Q drops can be found here in their original format.
Links to our Q threads, and Q drops posted on our threads, are listed in this table.
The video, Qanon is 100% coming from the Trump Administration, is just one of many excellent responses to the all-important question, "Whom does Q serve?" Another excellent source for identifying Q's involvement with President Trump is found at the website titled Qproofs.com.
Q Boot Camp is a quick, condensed way to learn the background and basics about the Q movement.
Q has reminded us repeatedly that together, we are strong. As the false "narrative" is destroyed and the divisive machinery put in place by the Deep State fails, the fact that patriotism has no skin color or political party is exposed for all to see.
In the battle between Good and Evil, we can't afford to let false divisions separate us any longer. The changes heading our way and the information revealed will, at times, be very difficult to face, but we will face it together. We, and our country, will be forever made stronger for having reclaimed the truth and freedom of thought.
Where We Go 1, We Go All
Note: Links in the post above are included in a resource table linked in Post #2 below, along with many additional excellent links to the best Q analysts and informations sources we've identified.

I seem to remember McCain wasn't allowed to be buried in Arlington Cemetery, which is why he went to the Naval Academy Cemetery.
Not likely. The USMC doesn't take kindly to anyone messing with their "Eagle, Globe & Fouled Anchor""

What group could possibly muster the resources to replicate what we see there? What possible interest could such a resourceful group have?
And do you have an exhalation theory on that high altitude sky writing pattern in the greenish picture of the same post?
While its fine to have critics that might at least attempt to deal with facts and reality, people without a clue that can only come up with 4th-grader ridicule should just give it a rest or go back to playing pong.

Employee Engagement – Pt 6
19 Tuesday Feb 2013
Written by gordonr in Leadership
action, appraisals, change, employee engagement, empowerment, engagement, HR, leadership, performance management, process
What Processes are needed?
Part six of our Employee Engagement series looks at the processes that, if implemented, make it easier to create an environment where people can become engaged. In case you have missed the rest of the series, start at part 1. Our last post looked at what leadership behaviours are needed.
Before I discuss what process make a difference in creating Employee Engagement, I need to stress something about where many companies go wrong with these processes. Often 'people' processes are owned by Human Resources (either a person or a department depending on the size of the organisation). There is nothing wrong with this, in fact this is how it should be. However, too often, HR does more than own the processes; they manage them. This then translates into something that is being done 'for' HR, rather than a process designed by them to support the management and leadership of people. It is imperative that these processes do not become things which are done for a 'tick in a box'; they are the processes which can make the difference that has employees feeling their manager, and therefore, the company, values them.
OK, rant over, so what processes help create an Employee Engagement environment?
Strategic Planning
This is not a people process, however, consideration must be given to how people are impacted by Strategic Planning. This may involve ensuring people are considered in how you will reach your strategic objectives. It may even be that you have a strategic objective involving the growth and development of your people. Regardless, there must be part of the process which covers how the strategic plan will be cascaded to the people; how the plan will be communicated to them in a way which not only has them understand it, but allows them to discuss it and therefore engage in it fully.
Performance Management
In many companies, this extends merely to appraisals or reviews. However, performance management is so much more. Performance management, broadly speaking, can come in two distinct 'flavours', which are required at different times in a company's evolution. When the company is forming and growing for the first time, or most of the people are new or not reaching the required standard, then 'performance' is king. At this stage, the single most important thing is that people understand what performance is required of them, and this performance is regularly discussed with them – good or bad. When a company is performing, and what is desired is that extra achievement that comes from engaged employees, then 'Growth' is king. This means having a process which looks after the personal growth of the people. Not the hierarchical development (although that may be part of it), but the 'growth in place' that is needed in most, relatively flat organisations. This will be covered in more detail in a future post.
Leadership Development
I know that this could be considered a training requirement. However, the development of leaders within an organisation is not simply about putting managers on a course. It is about having a process where the company has defined the leadership competencies it wants; has developed long term plans for the growth of these competencies in the managers; has integrated these competencies in to the performance management and recruitment process; and monitors and evaluates managers, at all levels, to ensure they are always striving to lead more effectively.
There are many other processes, mostly in the remit of HR, which can make a big difference. However, in my experience if you have a process which considers the people aspect of Strategic Planning, communicates these plans, integrates the plans into a robust performance management process, and develop leadership competencies as part of an ongoing process, then the rest will look after itself. These processes, partnered with the Leadership behaviours and skills discussed in previous posts, will create the environment where people will readily choose to be more engaged.

Employee Engagement is going to be the difference that makes all the difference in the future. Implementing the right people processes will set you on your way to having the best people, doing their best for you.

New Dehi,Mar 22: International Forum for Justice Muhammad Ahasan Untoo during an interaction with the students of Jamia Milia Islamia urged them to know ground reality about Kashmir.
Untoo who was at the Jamia Milia Islamia University at New Delhi interacted with scores of students today.
During the interaction, Untoo faced number of questions from students while he urged upon them to know ground reality of Kashmir before making any remarks about the Valley.
"As bright students you should know about Kashmir. You should raise your voice and show concern about the human rights violations committed by India in Kashmir," Untoo told students.
"You have to make it understand that Indian Judiciary behaves differently when it comes to Kashmir. It was vocal about Major Aditya's FIR while remained mum about the Kashmir killings," Untoo said.
Pertinently, Untoo had an interaction with students at Dwiarka New Delhi yesterday. CNS

Listen to a recording of "Paper or Plastic? Thoughts on the Difficulty
of Life"
28:14 minutes - 11.3 MB - Paper or Plastic? .mp3 file.
Presented November 18, 2007, by Rev. Dr. Rob Manning
"This is my place in the sun. This is how the usurpation of the world began."
This has been, as you know, a remarkably beautiful Autumn. Even though it is nearly Thanksgiving, there are still several beautifully decorated trees for us to enjoy. And the weather has stayed amazingly warm; nearly every day has had a least a few hours in the afternoon where you could go outside and feel warmed by the sun. For nearly a month I have looked out the window or been on my way to class on my bike and have said to myself: ok, I have to get some time outside because with winter coming on this might be the last day of sun and warmth. We have had more than a month of those last days to enjoy the outside and the sun and the beauty of the fall and the leaves.
The word ipseity - from the Latin - ipse - self. In Levinas - the self's enjoyment of itself, elemental pleasure, pleasure at being in the world. Ipseity in Levinas's sense is well expressed in the first half of that famous line from Pascal: this is my place in the sun I am sure you will understand me when I say this fall has given us time and reason to think about ipseity, the self's pleasure in its elemental belonging in the world. I spread out the lawn chair for an hour in the corner of the yard where the sun still is and I move the chair around just enjoying an hour or so to sit there and read and feel the sun warm.
What interrupts ipseity? It is not really the fading of the sun, the dying of the fall, the departure of the beautiful leaves, the advent of winter. All of this brings a different version of ipseity. There is a profound and beautiful ipseity in winter: winter offers the chance to come inside, spend more time inside, slow down, sit by the fire, read, think, play games with the kids, listen to music, spend more time with the animals, drink hot chocolate, or red wine.
Even as I move the lawn chair around the yard to find the one place in the sun, even as the days move into a long, cold winter, I know winter is not what interrupts ipseity. What interrupts ipseity is the simple question asked by the teenager bagging our groceries: paper or plastic?
For me personally, and this might be quite different for you, ten years ago, maybe even five, this question would not have interrupted my ipseity at all. I automatically said plastic because plastic bags have handles and you can crinkle them up and store them more easily or just throw them away.
But now of course we are much more aware of the problems caused by these convenient little plastic bags. They are not biodegradable. They end up in landfills. Petroleum is used in making them. The wind catches them and blows them around everywhere and they become eyesores on the landscape. Plastic bags for our groceries are not a good option. But are paper bags better, a more ethical, more responsible option? Paper involves cutting down trees, and that is the last thing we should be causing to happen. We all want to reduce our use of paper. So which is the better option, paper or plastic, if we think of the term better here not as what is better, easier, more convenient for us, more conducive to our own enjoyment of the world, but better in the sense of more ethical, better for the environment, better for the world we not only enjoy but are responsible for ethically?
Of course this one simple choice frequently posed to us, paper or plastic, represents or is an example of the way ethical questions of our responsibilities to the world constantly interrupt us and call us into question and make us rethink the way we live in the world. Paper or plastic, when it does become an ethical question, represents or is an example of how even the smallest everyday things we do become difficult, part of the difficulty of life, when we commit to trying to live our lives in an ethical and a responsible way. As Levinas, that great thinker of the ethical and of ethical responsibilities insists, ethical responsibilities multiply as they are assumed.
On this I think we can agree that Levinas is absolutely right. When paper or plastic becomes an ethical question for us, so many other situations and decisions in life have become ethical as well, or they soon will be.
Coffee, for example. Like hundreds of millions of my fellow human beings, one of the first things I do in the morning is make a pot of coffee. What a simple, innocent thing to do. Some of us are not even fully awake when we make that pot of coffee in the morning, but on the other hand some people would insist that we better wake up and realize that this too, this simple business of making coffee, is an important ethical decision. Can I ethically use the cheap stuff from the large multinational companies, the Folger's or the Maxwell House, or am I wiping out the rain forest and supporting the exploitation of the working poor by the corrupt oligarchs of Colombia when I do so? Is the only really ethical option for having our coffee in the morning using so-called "fair-trade coffee?" Is this the only way we can be sure that there is no human exploitation involved in our own simple enjoyment of a daily cup of coffee or two? All we want to do is enjoy our coffee; we don't want to exploit anyone in the process. That we have to think about the fact that we may well be doing one by doing the other is part of the difficulty of life.
Of course paper or plastic, Folger's or fair trade coffee, these are just the beginnings of the dilemma, of the difficulties that beset us once the world is the scene not only of our ipseity but of our ever increasing ethical responsibilities. Coffee, after all, is just one thing we consume. What about meat? Should we all really be vegetarians? Can we justify eating beef if it takes so much of the world's resources to grow the grain that fattens the cow for our eating pleasure? It might be more ethical to eat chicken and pork, except that in the factory farms the chickens and the pigs are kept in such squalid and miserable conditions and are unable even to move around, let alone have a normal life. We just want to eat, but we don't want to be associated with, or be the cause of, misery and suffering for our fellow animals. Our ethical responsibilities drive us to the wall and force us to wonder if we can do one without doing the other. We begin to really worry about the truth of that line from Pascal Levinas likes so much: "This is my place in the sun. This is how the usurpation of the world began."
Can we even clothe ourselves without wrapping the misery of our fellow human beings around us like a scarf in winter? A generation ago or so if we wore a sweater we could do so in good conscience relatively confident that the person who made it lived a life not so far different from our own, and was probably a union worker with a decent living wage who toiled reasonable hours in safe conditions. We would be dreaming if we thought that today about most of the things we wear. I went through my sweater collection, which is considerable because I hate to be cold. I have two sweaters made in America and 25 made in places such as China, Malaysia, Hong Kong, Vietnam, Thailand, the Philippines, etc. It is almost certain that whatever we wear was made by someone whose life is much more similar to the life of the working poor whose conditions Marx decried 150 years ago than to our own life. Should we only buy things we know were made under humane and respectable conditions? How would we go about doing that? Should we give away all of our clothes that were made in places like China and Vietnam?
And I do believe Quincy has a new Starbucks in town. Great. We can finally live out our ipseity by indulging in a four dollar latte, but is that ethical? Can we justify it by the fact that Starbucks provides even part-time employees with health care benefits? But can we in good conscience give our money to yet another American multinational corporation that is spreading its franchises around the world just like McDonald's and Burger King? Sure, we enjoy the latte, but aren't we feeding the monster at the same time? Aren't we helping multinational corporations usurp the world?
And of course we absolutely have to change our ways and use as little of the earth's resources as we possibly can to live ethically on the earth. Of course we want to drive vehicles that are small, get great gas mileage, use little gas and pollute as little as possible. You'd think the Unitarian minister in this town of all people would drive a small hybrid car. I have a convertible, because I have to enjoy my ipseity, I have to have my place in the sun, even when I am driving. Now how can I justify that?
And even if you do have a hybrid car, what about your lawn mower? Did you know one of the worst, most polluting, most gas guzzling things you have is probably your lawn mower? This fact about lawn mowers caused me this summer to pull out of my carriage house my old-fashioned lawn mower, the scissors type with the blades that move around. I actually cut my grass with that a couple times. It doesn't use any gas and it is a lot quieter, but it is a lot of work. If some very warm summer day I die of a heart attack pushing that old thing around my yard and everyone else around town is asking "now what was that long-haired weirdo doing using that old thing when he had a perfectly good power mower?" you at least will know that I was just trying to live ethically on the earth.
Ethical responsibilities, as Levinas constantly says, increase as they are assumed. First it's just paper over plastic or the attempt to remember your own bags when you go to the store, and then it's coffee, and everything you eat and wear and what you drive, and how you live. It's difficult to undo that usurpation of the world that begins when we all claim our place in the sun and begin to enjoy our own ipseity. We try to tread so lightly upon the earth and use as little as possible and harm as little as possible it's almost as if we would like to disappear.
As we try to tread lightly, leave almost no footprint, try to live ethically, almost make ourselves disappear, we might begin to feel guilty even for living. This is when we meet Nietzsche who says to us: "Feeling guilty, eh? Don't tell me you have been listening to those ascetic priests again? What is the meaning of these ascetic ideals? People who talk about religion and ethics are life deniers; they are against life. Ascetic priests are artists in guilt feelings. They try to convince you that human life, your life, is a wrong road. What do you have to feel guilty for? There is nothing of virtue in denying life and making yourself disappear, like a hibernating animal. Snap out of it. Away with this inverted world. Shake off this distrust of yourself. Live your life. Enjoy. Take a deep drink from the joys of life. There has never been enough joy. Now go get yourself a latte. Cut your grass the normal way so you can go take a drive in your convertible and enjoy the sun."

Jane Weaver To Rework Past Material
Christian Eede
, March 27th, 2019 14:49
A new release from Jane Weaver will see her revisit material from her two previous albums
Jane Weaver has announced a new full-length project called Loops In The Secret Society.
The release sees Weaver return to tracks from her previous two albums - 2014's The Silver Globe and 2017's Modern Kosmology - reworking them as she did on a tour late last year and committing them to record. You can hear the new version of 'Slow Motion', which originally featured on Modern Kosmology, above.
Loops In The Secret Society, which sees Weaver teaming up with collaborators Henry Broadhead, PJ Phillipson and Andy Votel, is described as "a re-imagined journey through parts of both albums, with new ambient pieces primed and polished."
It takes in 22 tracks in total and will be released via Fire Records on June 21. You can pre-order it here, while Jane Weaver will follow its release with a pair of live shows at Manchester's Yes (July 12) and London's Southbank Centre (July 13).

Missed it by that much
The "Me Too" movement missed the mark again, as it was pretty much an attempt to get what I considered revenge for failed entertainment careers by women who got old too quick! Again, having dabbled in the entertainment world for a few years, there is no question many people would enjoy intercourse with a doorknob and or to orally copulate the same if it got them on television. This is, after all, Hollywierd and the entertainment capital of the world.
Over the years I have spoken to dozens of the old-timers, mostly females and a few males, many younger lawyers and office staff who speak of the debauchery very clearly. The forced, or was it coerced, sexual acts with staff and clients that went on behind the scenes at many of the large law firms who specialized in DIVORCE. I recall one time calling a firm and being told that the "Boss" was having lunch with "one" of "his girlfriends" who were in town for a few days. I thought it odd that I would be told this. I feel that it was in the hopes of getting it leaked to DESPERATEEXES.com. This 'Personal Assistant' would depart a very short time later. I wonder what his wife would think, or would it be, 'I am meeting with a client for lunch.'
The desks in some of the "partners" offices were built at a level to make access easier in hitting "the mark." And some of these guys were, let's just say not very athletic, and the soundproofing was lacking in many of these buildings. Do you know what the best part is? For many of these people who the information is being provided on, I have no allegiance to; talk about perfect. One former female client gave her lawyer a new Escalade on top of what her legal fees were! And the fucking and blow jobs were endless, nonstop….as it happens this was verified by the attorney who made jokes about it to me in a conversation that I had with him!
How many of these 'partners' who had such great power over their associates and office staff thought they were untouchable? Many of the DIVORCE lawyers took total advantage of vulnerable clients. Who saw this "Me Too" thing coming down the pike? I have the names and the sources for several of these stories. Will the Family Law Lawyers who are so busy giving themselves and judges awards and accolades and rubbing each other's backs feel the heat at some point? I am betting the answer is absolutely highly likely. I met with two former employees recently, and one issue was to strike while the bastards are still above ground. People, the stories are endless and incredible that they never saw the light of day! We here at DESPERATEEXES.com are rewiring the lights to make sure they are really bright, and everything will be visible and brought to the surface. You all remember the movie I was featured in, DIVORCE CORP, as stuff is even funnier as to when I see these arrogant fucks in person I have to chuckle.
We all remember the studio heads and high-profile actors who were attacked by lawsuits and the media. Careers were destroyed, and millions paid to make everything all better. Will this happen to some well-known DIVORCE lawyers? I feel that ship is looking for a place to drop anchor and the "Troll," Allred & Co., could be looking at this issue very closely. We will see. We will always accept information or recollections you may have as to being forced into sexual situations by employers in the Land of Divorce. Just remember, being vulnerable and needing a job or fighting a tough DIVORCE does not make it ok to take it in the ass!
It is always fun to be riding high in the saddle until you become conscious and find yourself under the horse. BTW, I have been involved in a few of these cases over the years, involving divorce lawyers acting badly with clients and the "settlements," always 'Hush Hush.' Oh, do not make any assumptions here, I have been a great student of history in "Divorce Land," and the lessons my teachers have shared with me are outrageous. Several years ago, we had a well-known "associate" who enjoyed his client so much that he sent a photo of his penis to her! And like most clients, untrustworthy as they are, used the photo to go after him, as in sue, and the photo as evidence. Of course, out of respect for the firm only I will not mention the individual. Many of you already know who he is. Talk about embarrassing, in the end, this was a 'package' that a 'Hummingbird' could have delivered.
One of my favorite military anthems is, "Anchors Aweigh," the fight song of the United States Naval Academy, composed in 1906 by Charles A. Zimmermann / lyrics by Alfred Hart Miles. Stand by folks this could be fun!

In order to prepare your site for the construction of your new development the ground levels may alter to accommodate the requirements of the design.
When this happens the existing services to the block such as power domes, water meters and sewer manholes may have to be adjusted to suit the new ground levels.
This is not covered in your building contract, so it's good to check with your builder to see if these items are likely to affect your block.
Other infrastructure such as bus stops, street signs, power poles, verge trees and the like cannot be adjusted by the builder this must be carried out by the relevant authority.

Passive Income Mastery Workshops
Dear Fellow Marketer and Business Associate,
Have you always wanted to become financially free but do not know how? If so, I would like to invite you to our upcoming Full 1 Day workshops, where a group of experts will teach you on how you can create passive income streams using proven successful systems of Wealth Creation. To find out more about our September upcoming events in Centurion and Nelspruit, click on a city near you, http://centurion.drbonganisanda.com and http://nelspruit.drbonganisanda.com .There is an old saying that when the student is ready, the teacher always show up. I have been involved in these businesses since April, 2016 and I have experienced steady business growth with extra passive income. As a trained Medical Practitioner, I no longer feel the pressure to work long hours, as I have now become financially free and I am working towards building generational wealth and a lasting legacy.
These are diversified business opportunities, which allow you to build your own business at your own pace, with full support from me, as your Wealth Coach. I will teach you everything I have learnt on my path towards success, all you will need to do is learn how to duplicate the results and do even more.
I have had a privilege of interacting with the best of the best in the industry and I would love to pass that on to you. Warren Buffet states that it is not enough to earn only one source of income, to create wealth, you need more than one source of income and I will be there to help you achieve that goal.
We are all aware about the financial difficulty that most people are currently facing and this is none of their fault but poor financial education which teaches us nothing about wealth creation and as a result we tend to live beyond our means , in a constant state of lack, where abundance to most remains a distant dream. This coming weekend and in two weeks time, you will come out financially rejuvenated and ready to ride on into your financial future with tools which will help you beat household inflation.
We would like to meet and interact with you throughout the whole day. When you get to the event ask to see me, Dr Bongani Sanda.PS - Should you wish to find out more about events near your city, both locally and internationally, feel free to contact me for more information.
Warm Regards,

When in doubt create your own flower bouquet! The overcast sky, the cold breeze and RAIN have not made it feel like Spring. Today, I was looking through ideas and came across a card that inspired me. It gave me the motivation to create my own card! I love how it turned out, it was just what I needed on this Friday. I am so looking forward to sunny WARM days!
The Flower Patch Stamp Set and the coordinating Flower Fair Framelits are both retiring. I will be honest and say I haven't used them in some time but this week, I made 2 cards featuring the set. Today's card features an assortment of colors which I love. I used the Hardwood Background Stamp to make it look like it was on wood. In order to make the words stand out, I embossed the sayings from the Watercolor Words Stamp Set with white embossing powder. It wasn't a hard task stamping the images and then using my big shot to cut our the images. Of course, I added some Watermelon Wonder Mini Striped Ribbon to finish off the card. All my supplies are listed below.
Interested in seeing the other card created this week? Here is the link, Retiring Flower Patch Stamp Set with Criss Cross Fold. PS a video is on this post!
The Flower Patch Stamp Set has a total of 19 stamps to create all different flowers!
The coordinating Flower Fair Framelits of course work perfectly with the stamp set. It leave a small border of white.
I went back through some of my OLD pictures and found 3 pictures of cards I created. The website is old on it – so don't try and use it, it doesn't work. The new online store web address is www.bonniestamped.stampinup.net. As you can see, the stamps look good in any color combination!
This first picture was for an organized swap at Convention. I couldn't make all the cards in the same color combination, so I mixed it up.
A closer look…love the color combination of Rich Razazleberry and Mint Macaron.
I held a 3×3 class in which the stamp set and framelits were used…
Lastly, on the card below, I masked after stamping the large flower. I place an oval mask and sponged the oval. Such a simple but pretty card! The Happy Birthday stamp is part of the Cottage Greetings Stamp Set.
It is always nice looking back to see how versatile a stamp set can be. How long is your wish list? Remember, you can JOIN ANYTIME and receive the benefits of being demonstrator immediately! (once you are issued your Demonstrator ID) I love being a part of the SU! family and I love building my team of hobbyists and business builders. ALL are welcome.

Objectives CTNNB1-mutated hepatocellular carcinomas (HCCs) constitute a major part of human HCC and are largely inaccessible to target therapy. Yet, little is known about the metabolic reprogramming induced by β-catenin oncogenic activation in the liver. We aimed to decipher such reprogramming and assess whether it may represent a new avenue for targeted therapy of CTNNB1-mutated HCC.
Design We used mice with hepatocyte-specific oncogenic activation of β-catenin to evaluate metabolic reprogramming using metabolic fluxes on tumourous explants and primary hepatocytes. We assess the role of Pparα in knock-out mice and analysed the consequences of fatty acid oxidation (FAO) using etomoxir. We explored the expression of the FAO pathway in an annotated human HCC dataset.
Results β-catenin-activated HCC were not glycolytic but intensively oxidised fatty acids. We found that Pparα is a β-catenin target involved in FAO metabolic reprograming. Deletion of Pparα was sufficient to block the initiation and progression of β-catenin-dependent HCC development. FAO was also enriched in human CTNNB1-mutated HCC, under the control of the transcription factor PPARα.
Conclusions FAO induced by β-catenin oncogenic activation in the liver is the driving force of the β-catenin-induced HCC. Inhibiting FAO by genetic and pharmacological approaches blocks HCC development, showing that inhibition of FAO is a suitable therapeutic approach for CTNNB1-mutated HCC.

Activewear Trends To Watch This Year
Take a look at the must have trends we've loved for 2019.
There is nothing like activewear to brighten your mood.
Athleisure, Sports Luxe, Athluxe – any which way you call it, is not going anywhere. And haven't we come a long way since sportswear was simply for sport?
We looked into some of our favourite trends for this year and what is yet to come.. plus which brands are giving us major inspo.
There really is something for everyone. So, there's no excuse to not spandex up and step on out.
The Americana trend focuses heavily on bold colours, block branding and classic sportswear silhouettes re imagined. Drawing heavily from the retro nineties & taking notes from track & field, you can expect to see lots of stripes and colour blocking across classic tee's, joggers and jackets, if you aren't seeing it already.
Tommy Hilfiger has shown us that deep down we all love red, white and blue.
Is you are a "self-care" junkie like most of us here at Slyletica, then this one is for you! Bath Leisure is all about muted tones, relaxed silhouettes and absolute comfort. This really embodies athleisure at its peak. Think luxurious, textured earthy fabrics in interchangeable pieces that can be worn seasonally. Key pieces are the light weight runner, relaxed leotards and textured anoraks.
Nude is the mood. Nicky Kay shows us that a muted palette is the way forward.
For the performance-based purchaser. Tech-Tility focuses on streamlining functionality and comfort. This trend is thoughtfully curated with a tech-heavy palate, think vibrant pops of colour, smooth metallic and iridescent opaques. Better represented with statement crops, seamless leggings and structured outerwear.

Nike X Off-White The @nike c/o Virgil Abloh "Athlete in Progress" collection salutes the unbreakable confidence held by runners. The international running community embraces the power of self-belief, consistent from the unprecedented marathon performances of '84 through the continued efforts to break boundaries in '19, and in every fight for a personal best or world record. While times may not be equal and races are won by one one-hundredth of a second, runners, though self-reliant, share the drive toward consistent progress. For the "Athlete in Progress" collection, @virgilabloh taps Nike's rich heritage in track and field. The assortment balances performance product with post-run apparel and footwear inspired by Nike's storied running shoe designs. Drops Globally 27 June 2019. #RUNREVOLUTION #NIKE #NIKERUNNING #NIKEWOMEN #VIRGILABLOH #OFFWHITE #ATHLETESINPROGRESS
The OG of sportswear and masters of the trend.
All-in-one pieces designed for Yoga and Pilates are looking to be the next big thing. Allowing for fashionable flexibility of movement without any of the worry of shirts and leggings coming untucked. The devil is in the details with these pieces, think elaborate straps or cut outs, paired with panelling or mesh to complete the look.
Move your body in this catsuit by The Upside.

CitationVasquez, Yolanda, Mathias Kolle, Lidiya Mishchenko, Benjamin D. Hatton, and Joanna Aizenberg. 2014. Three-Phase Co-Assembly: In Situ Incorporation of Nanoparticles into Tunable, Highly Ordered, Porous Silica Films. ACS Photonics 1, no. 1: 53–60. doi:10.1021/ph400067z.
AbstractWe present a reproducible, one-pot colloidal co-assembly approach that results in large-scale, highly-ordered porous silica films with embedded, uniformly-distributed, accessible gold nanoparticles. The unique coloration of these inverse opal films combines iridescence with plasmonic effects. The coupled optical properties are easily tunable either by changing the concentration of added nanoparticles to the solution before assembly or by localized growth of the embedded Au nanoparticles upon exposure to tetrachloroauric acid solution, after colloidal template removal. The presence of the selectively absorbing particles furthermore enhances the hue and saturation of the inverse opals color by suppressing incoherent diffuse scattering. The composition and optical properties of these films are demonstrated to be locally tunable using selective functionalization of the doped opals.

Ofni Systems, a leader in providing regulatory compliance solutions for pharmaceutical, biotech and medical device companies announces the release of FastVal Validation Document Generator v3.0. FastVal allows users to complete validation projects in 70% less time than using traditional validation methods. FastVal is compliant with all FDA/EU rules for electronic records and signatures, including 21 CFR 11 and Annex 11 and implements industry recognized best practices for validation, including GAMP 5. This release enhances FastVal's ability to help enable organizations execute all aspects of their validation projects with shorter timelines and increased quality.
These enhancements increase FastVal's ease of use and allow users to shorten the validation cycle while increasing the quality of the finished validation project. Managers have greater visibility into the status of validation projects and can have confidence that their validated system will withstand regulatory scrutiny. "Validation should add value to a computer system," said Ofni Systems Validation Manager Ofni Systems. "FastVal produces higher quality documentation, in far less time, which in turn allows us to spend our time testing software, rather than generating documentation. FastVal can be customized to any customer validation requirements, which allows us to meet and exceed all of our customer's standards."
