So, the monsoon has started here in New Delhi and it's raining almost every day. People have got little relief from the heat but the other side, rain has also caused little disturbance in routine life. The roads get blocked due to heavy rain. And that leads to traffic jam and other such problems. But we never miss any chance of cherishing every drop of the rain. Be it a bike ride or a road trip with your friends when it's raining softly or be it heavy rain, the foodie inside us always kicks to come out and smell what's cooking. When it's raining, you will surely get to smell some delicious food being cooked somewhere in your street. From hot spicy pakoda or samosa with chai to Maggie, halwa, there are so many dishes to relish in rain. Monsoon isn't just about rain; it's also about delicious food. And we all wait for it eagerly. The question here that comes to my mind is what to eat during monsoon? Well, everyone will tell lots of things to try in monsoon and for sure everyone has own recipe. So what goes will in rain?
And the heavens burst out, with great thunder and lightning, it showers blessings. And these blessings are some of the most appetizing dishes. Rain in India brings delicious dishes and not only it does give your comfort but also gives yummilicious food for our taste buds. And we know what to eat during monsoon. We either order online or we cook and eat at home.
In my childhood, rains were welcomed with cheela or puda. The palatable aroma used to spread in every street and we would easily come to know that who was cooking it. Same goes with halwa. While I am writing this, I am having a hard time focusing on it, because every time I remember these memories, my taste buds are taking shower in water. Keeping all these things in mind, we here are discussing what to eat during monsoon? That's pretty mouth-watering; isn't it?
My favorite dish to enjoy during rain is Maggie, no doubt. Imagine, it's raining outside and there are rain drops on the window pan; you are sitting there and watching the rain outside; holding a bowl of hot Maggie noodles. Well, it is raining outside and I must invade my kitchen and should prepare some hot noodles now. Same goes with coffee. Though I am a cold coffee lover but in this weather I even cherish a cup of hot espresso or latte. No doubt, rain makes us crave for delicious food than any other season. There are so many ideas on what to eat during monsoon.
When I used to live in sector 4 Gurgaon, the market used to get packed with crowd. Every street food stall had people standing in queue for their turn, be it pani puri, south Indian dish or any other deliciousness. From kids to old, everyone used to come and taste the best of street food in the market and I am sure same goes with everywhere. Listening to some classic songs like November Rain by GnR and the rain and coffee. What a perfect combination. Let us think about this. You are somewhere in Kasol or Dharamshala and its raining; you are sitting in your hotel room, close to the window; there are rain drops on the window; and what you see outside it totally breath – taking.
I don't drink tea. It's been long almost fifteen years. There is a great combination of tea or chai with pakoda or samosa. Chai goes well with so many dishes and people who don't drink tea are somewhat socially boycotted. Well, after all who says no to tea and that too when it's raining and you have to eat samosa. The next awesome dish that goes well with rain is pakoda. And there's a janm janm ka rishta of chai & pakoda. You can find out the tea stall crowded during rain and people holding a plate of pakoda in one hand and cup of hot tea in the other. That's love. That's pure. So what do you think, what to eat during monsoon. Do let me know in the comment section below.

Wenger: Why we dropped them from the squad
Arsene Wenger has explained his decision to name a much-changed Arsenal team in the FA Cup clash against Hull City.
Per Mertesacker and Laurent Koscielny were the only players to retain their spot in the starting line-up as Steve Bruce's men visited the Emirates stadium on Saturday.
However, a 0-0 draw which saw Arsenal squander a host of opportunities in front of goal has seen Wenger's decisions scrutinized once again.
According to the Frenchman, Tuesday's Champions League showdown was not the reason why he chose a second string selection which saw Aaron Ramsey and Mesut Ozil omitted from the squad.
"I played a team that, in my opinion, had the quality to win the game today." Wenger said
"The Barcelona game was not in my mind today. I rested Ramsey and Ozil completely, because they've played many games since the start of the season.
"When I can do it, I do it. Mesut Ozil was a bit sick over the week, so I decided to leave him out completely. Ramsey has played many games, so that's why I kept him out."
The result has done no favours to Arsenal's busy fixture list with a replay at the KC stadium yet to be scheduled.
But Wenger insists he will not be left fuming over Saturday's draw.
"I am not as relaxed as I look! Honestly, [if I were] nervous or angry, it wouldn't change the result." he added
"I would be if it would change the result. It's not what we planned but in football it doesn't always go like that.
"It's how you respond and how you find the solution to what we face now. It means we have to go to Hull and we have to qualify."

Partner Compensation Practices: Cutting Edge Research – Part 1
Marc Rosenberg, CPA / Mar 5, 2018
CPA firms have struggled with their partner compensation systems forever. We're constantly trying to build a better mousetrap. Why is this quest never-ending?
The simple answer is that it's difficult for financially-minded, mathematically-inclined CPA firm partners to agree on what is fair for both themselves — a subject on which they are understandably but regrettably biased — and for the firm — the politically correct position.
To drill down on the art and science of partner compensation, we conducted a survey of firms' compensation techniques and methodologies. Our company conducted the survey in conjunction with our colleagues at CPA Leadership Institute.
But before we begin, a clarification. Let's not confuse Best practices with Common practices. Best practices, based on experience and research, reliably lead firms to the most effective results. Common practices are simply those practices followed by a large percentage of firms, regardless if they are best practices or not. We'll be examining those differences.
Survey participants
33% of the firms were under $5M in annual revenue; 46% were $5-15M and 21% were over $15M.
What system does your firm use to allocate income?
- 33% use a compensation committee.
- 23% use a formula.
- 18% have the managing partner personally allocate the income.
Best practice or common practice? Both best and most common. More than any other system, the comp committee provides firms with a great way to balance the recognition of both production metrics and intangibles such as firm management, developing staff and teamwork.
Using a compensation committee requires a level of sophistication that most small firms – say, under $10M – don't have. Smaller firms almost always use one of three systems: Pay equal, Formula or MP decides. Common practices but not best practices.
CPA Partner Compensation: The Art and the Science explains ►Partner comp 101 ► the 12 systems used by all firms ►how to design your firm's system ►open vs. closed systems ►the role of book of business ►differences between large and small firms' systems ► the MP's compensation ► trends and controversies ►overall best practices
How many tiers of income does your system have?
The three main tiers are base salary or draw, bonus and interest on capital. Our survey found:
- 86% of firms have a base salary tier.
- 72% of firms have a bonus tier.
- 35% of firms have a tier for interest on partner capital.
Best practice or common practice? Common – yes. Best practice – somewhat. The best practice is to have all three tiers because each recognizes an aspect of partners' contributions to the firm that is quite different from the others. Omitting any of the three tiers ignores these differences. The base salary, usually 65-85% of total compensation, is both the historical and street value of a partner. The bonus, usually 10-30% of the total, rewards partners for their performance in the current year. The interest tier rewards partners for their ownership role in the business, a feature enjoyed by shareholders in most businesses. The key differentiator is the relative capital invested in the firm by the various partners. It makes sense that partners with more capital invested than others should receive a higher interest amount.
How does your bonus tier work?
The two choices were:
- The base salary and bonus tiers are allocated separately, using different criteria.
- The base is really a draw or advance on one final income number, determined at the end of the year for each partner. The performance criteria for the base and the bonus are the same.
Our survey results showed roughly a 50-50 split between the two choices.
Best practice or common practice? Best practice – no. Common practice – yes. Since the modern business world began, larger and/or sophisticated businesses have provided key people with base salaries and an incentive bonus for current period excellence, however that is measured. The wisdom of this practice is indisputable. In defense of the 50% of firms that don't differentiate between base and bonus, it is very difficult to come up with coherent criteria for partner performance and income allocation when they have one tier (base and bonus combined). Devising separate criteria for two tiers – base and bonus – is simply too challenging for many firms, especially smaller ones.
Open vs. closed
70% of our surveyed firms have an open compensation system (all partners know what each other earns) compared to 30% with closed systems (partners do not have access to what other partners earn).
Best practice or common practice? Best practice – no. Common – yes. Partners should be compensated based on their value and contributions to the firm, without regard to how their comp compares to other partners. Partners are more easily satisfied when they compare their compensation to what they expected instead of what their other partners were awarded.
The open vs. closed issue is handled dramatically different depending on the size of the firm. Firms with less than eight partners almost always have an open system. There may be great logic in a closed system, but when there are just a few partners and they grew up with each other, emotionally, it's very difficult to move away from an open system. Firms with 8-12 partners are 50-50, open vs. closed. 75% of firms with 13 or more partners operate a closed system. The larger the firm, the more common it is for these firms to manage themselves like a real business.
CPA Firm Partner Compensation: The Art and Science
No one partner compensation system applies to all firms. Both subjective judgment and quantifiable methods and tactics must be employed to result in an outcome that satisfies the partners and is perceived as fair. Tailor your partner comp system specifically for your firm: here's how.Learn More

In case you haven't been paying attention for the last couple of posts, it's time for a little celebration here at the Random Longbox.
No, no...it's not the fact that we're finally done with the Action Comics Weekly review that we are celebrating (but we are secretly celebrating, don't get me wrong).
The official cause of all of the excitement is that the next review will be the 25th book reviewed on this blog. It doesn't seem like a big deal, but it's honestly about 20 more than I thought there'd be at the time that I started it.
So to help celebrate, we're going to do something a little bit different. We're still going to be using the Randomizer to pick our title, but I'm narrowing down the choices a little. Since this is our 25th review, I have made a list of every book that has an issue numbered 25 in my collection.
It turns out that I have 97 different books that meet the criteria. So what title gets the honor of the next review? Let's find out...
...and that title is X-Statix #25 from September 2004, published by Marvel Comics.
You can't see it right now, but I'm about as giddy as a schoolgirl with this pick. Milligan and Allred's X-Statix and X-Force runs were some of the most entertaining books of the last decade. The absurdity of the post-modern take on super-heroes in the Age of Celebrity meshed perfectly with their style.
The fact that Marvel let them do it in the midst of their "real" superhero universe just made it all the more ridiculous. This particular issue is the penultimate issue of the series, and also the final issue of the arc that guest starred The Avengers.
It was probably my favorite storyline of the bunch and I can't wait to delve back into the craziness of it all. Just look at that cover...Thor vs. Doop...Mjolnar vs. a busted bottle!
See you in a day or two for the review, as you know you want to see it!

While factor investing can be a powerful tool, it may not be living up to its promise because of three common blunders, according to a forthcoming paper in the Journal of Portfolio Management.
"Investors are typically led to develop their factor return expectations with little more than an extrapolation of the factor's past paper-portfolio returns," noted the paper, which was co-authored by Robert D. Arnott and Vitali Kalesnik of Research Affiliates, Campbell Harvey of Duke University and Juhani Linnainmaa of the University of Southern California. "But past is not prologue. We argue that both the expected returns and the risks are rarely fully understood by investors, whether retail or institutional."
The first blunder is that investors have exaggerated expectations about how a factor will perform because of data mining and basing expectations on an overfit historical sample, says Harvey.
"Try 100 things, 99 of them don't work and the 100th works — well, that's no surprise," he says. "It doesn't really work, it just happens to fit in the historical sample. When you take it out of the sample, it's not going to work." When investors don't figure this out it will lead to disappointment, he adds.
The second blunder is that investors' risk management tools are naïve and factors can experience bigger downside shocks than would be expected. As well, investors don't do a very good job of risk management and view these factors as near normally distributed, says Harvey. "They've got a view of the tail behaviour of factors that's unrealistic. And how that plays out, as we show in the paper, is that none of these factors are anywhere close to what you would expect with a so-called normal distribution. The sort of negative realizations that we've seen are, if they were normal, you might see them once every 10 million years."
The third blunder is that investors perceive their portfolio as diversified if it has several factors, which isn't the case because this diversification can disappear in certain economic conditions when factor returns are much more correlated, the paper said.
People may assume their risk is diversified when they invest in multiple factors instead of just one, but the diversification benefit may disappear exactly when you need it, says Linnainmaa. "But the problem in the data is that when one of those factors runs into trouble, typically all of the other factors run into trouble at the same time as well."
While these blunders exist, the paper acknowledges that factor investing can still be powerful, though it also cautions investors to understand the risk. "It doesn't say that you should be abandoning factor investing. It's saying that your expectations should be more moderate," says Linnainmaa.

Police trying to solve the mystery surrounding the deaths of 14-year-old Liberty Rose Lynn German and 13-year-old Abigail Joyce Williams have discovered that one of the girls secretly filmed a short video clip just before her death. They are now using the footage to help determine who is responsible for murdering the youngsters.
The bodies of Abigail and Liberty were found on Valentine's Day in some woodland in the US state of Indiana; the pair had gone missing after having been dropped off the previous day to play in the the Delphi Historic Trail.
But an analysis of Liberty's phone revealed that she had secretly filmed parts of the events that led up to her death. According to police, in one video clip a man can be heard saying "down the hill", presumably instructing the terrified teenagers to do as he said before ending their lives.
Because the town where the murders occurred is so small, being home to just 3,000 people, investigators have released the audio clip (you can listen to it here) and are hopeful that someone from the community might recognise the voice from the video, which could lead police to the killer.
Indiana State Police Sergeant David Bursten spoke to reporters about the case, saying: "Liberty had the presence of mind to turn on the video camera. There's enough there that somebody could recognise this person's voice," Associated Press reports.
There are apparently more clues within the footage, however police are choosing to keep these private at this stage in order to "preserve the integrity of the investigation," says the NY Post.
Police have also revealed the image of a suspect for the killings, who can be seen wearing blue jeans with a blue coat and a hoodie, however they have not confirmed whether this is the same man that can be heard in the video.
Authorities are not ruling out that two people could be involved, and are still trying to work out whether it was more likely a chance acquaintance which turned sinister between the girls and their killer, or whether it was a premeditated murder.

Leah Remini '20/20′ Interview: She Blasts Tom Cruise For Damaging Scientology
Leah Remini is making shocking new claims about Tom Cruise, that the actor got her in trouble with the Church of Scientology after she complained about his public behavior. She told ABC's '20/20′ in a new interview that Tom 'damaged' the Church's image!
Leah Remini, 45, sat down with ABC's 20/20 to dish on her reasons for leaving the Church of Scientology after over 30 years. In advance of her upcoming book Troublemaker: Surviving Hollywood and Scientology, the former The King of Queens star put Tom Cruise, 53, on blast for his crazy antics while courting Katie Holmes, 36, as well as getting her in trouble with church officials following his 2006 wedding to Katie. To hear more about Leah Remini, head over to iTunes and download the latest HollywoodLife podcast for free!
She really lit in to Scientology's biggest star. "Being critical of Tom Cruise is being critical of Scientology itself. You are a person anti the aims and goals of the church. You are evil," she revealed. Leah also disapproved of Tom's behavior while courting now ex-wife Katie. She said,"I don't think it's becoming of a Scientologist to be jumping on people's couches" referring to Tom's bizarre 2005 Oprah Winfrey Show appearance noting "what the hell is this guy doing? He just needs to be an actor!"
Leah claims Tom was "damaging the church" with later attacks on Matt Lauer and Brooke Shields, saying she told church officials "We need to reign it in and stop all this," about his escalating public behavior.
Despite earlier reports that Katie would be part of the special, the former Mrs. Tom Cruise did not appear. She released a statement to the program saying "I regret having upset Leah in the past and wish her only the best in the future." Leah mentioned she was "written up" by church officials for her behavior during Tom and Katie's Nov. 2006 Italian wedding, with claims she was "loud, late and rude." Leah claims in her 20/20 interview that she was forced to "apologize for ruining the wedding of the century," and that even Katie filed a complaint against her. Katie has since left the church.
As for questions about "How does someone like you get into some crazy crap like this?" it's because she joined the Church on her mother's behest when she was only seven-years-old. It was over 30 years before she left, and Leah noted the challenges she had to overcome when she left Scientology.
"The decision to leave (the church) is you're giving up everything you've worked for your whole life," Leah admitted. "I feel that people need to understand this has been my whole life." She added, "As time goes on, you start to lose touch with the real world. The mindset becomes us against them."
HollywoodLifers, did you watch Leah's interview on 20/20?

22 Aug From Small Town Girl to Author
Growing up in the Hamptons, one very important goal I had was to 'get out.' Sure, it's a beautiful idealistic place to live, but when you're young it feels so very small. My hometown library, East Hampton Library, was a part of my personal education and escapism. Not only did I want to read every book in this beautiful library, but I hoped that someday, they would have one of my books there too. Getting invited to the summer benefit at the East Hampton Library with my novel Sin in the Big Easy (Post Hill Press, March 2018) was not only an honor, but a dream come true.
Funny enough, someone asked me, how am I going to 'spin this' because this isn't 'leadership work.' Ah, I said, this is actually what my next book is about! We are the culmination of our experiences and by creatively expanding ourselves and capabilities, we are in a better position for both connection and understanding in helping others. And that, my friends, is understanding on how to be a better leader!
Does the path to leadership or success have to be one-note or linear? I'm interested in your thoughts and stories because I'd love to share more than my own personal experience. Please write a comment below or reach out to me via my website: www.mccourtleadership.com/contact/

U.S. Treasury Puts Honolulu Under Money Laundering Scrutiny
The U.S. Treasury Department added a seventh city, Honolulu, and a broader range of transactions when extending for another six months a data-collection program to aid a crackdown on money laundering in real estate.
The program, which began in March 2016, was expanded last year and renewed in February, was set to expire Tuesday. It requires title insurance companies to identify the true owners of limited liability companies that buy luxury real estate in all-cash transactions in some large cities, including New York City, Los Angeles, San Francisco, San Antonio, San Diego, Miami and some of those cities' suburbs. The extension announced Tuesday by the Treasury's Financial Crimes Enforcement Network also captures more transactions, such as wire-transfers, as part of the data-collection effort.
"Through this advisory and other outreach to the private sector, FinCEN, industry, and law enforcement will be better positioned to protect the real estate markets from serving as a vehicle to launder illicit proceeds," said Jamal El-Hindi, acting director of FinCEN, in a statement.
FinCEN also released an advisory document on Tuesday that explains the risks of money-laundering through the real-estate market. The sector "can be an attractive avenue for criminals to launder illegal proceeds while masking their identities," the document said, calling the luxury market "vulnerable to penetration" by criminal organizations and corrupt actors.
"This money laundering risk in the real-estate market was a principal driver of FinCEN's decision to issue [geographic-targeting orders], which...have provided greater insight into illicit finance risks in the high-end real estate market," the document said.
More than 30% of the real-estate transactions reported in the first 15 months of the data-collection program have involved a beneficial owner or buyer that has been the subject of an unrelated suspicious-activity report filed to FinCEN, the document said. The link between the two is a sign that the people making the real estate purchases were already on authorities' radar for potential financial crimes; financial institutions file suspicious-activity reports to FinCEN to flag potentially criminal activity.
The orders represented the first step toward broader anti-money laundering compliance requirements for the real-estate industry, as Risk & Compliance Journal reported last year. The sector had previously fended off such efforts from the federal government after the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.
The advisory released Tuesday cites a number of examples of alleged money laundering through real estate, including assets targeted in sanctions against the Venezuelan vice president and a civil-asset forfeiture suit against assets linked to alleged mismanagement of a Malaysian sovereign-wealth fund.
"Real estate transactions and the real estate market have certain characteristics that make them vulnerable to abuse by illicit actors seeking to launder criminal proceeds," the document said.

Yet there is no recorded history stretching further than 6000 years which coincidentally enough is how long many Christians believe the bible dates as the beginning of mankind. We have no writings, no battles, no wars, no countries, no carved stones, no nothing. If human evolution is true then surely it would be traceable far beyond 4000bc.

Issues: Securing our health system for the future
May 6, 2012
The debate in health is far from where we expected it to be when we started work on The Canada We Want in 2020.
In December 2011 Minister Flaherty announced a surprise new funding 'deal' for the provinces. They will receive continued 6% annual increases in federal transfers until 2017, after which transfers will be pegged at the rate of nominal GDP growth with a guaranteed base of 3% a year. Payments will be per capita based with no provision to differentiate according to population characteristics (age, etc.).
This unilateral announcement has significantly curtailed debate about healthcare funding and the federal role. The focus is now on the provinces and how they can rein in their own spending and make their health systems more effective.
Some facts
- Health spending accounted for 11.4% of GDP in Canada in 2009, almost two percentage points higher than the OECD average of 9.5%. The US spends over 17% of GDP.
- Canadian provinces currently spend an average of about 40% of their total budgets on healthcare (range between about 33% – Quebec and NFL – and 45% – Alberta and Manitoba)
- Approximately 70% of healthcare costs in Canada are publicly-funded. This is low compared to most countries (22ndin the OECD) largely because there is no national pharmacare program and only a limited focus on meeting chronic care needs.
- Despite the relatively high level of health expenditure in Canada, there are fewer physicians per capita than in most other OECD countries, although numbers have been growing in recent years. We also have less equipment (8 MRI machines per million people as opposed to OECD average of 12, and 14 CT scanners vs. OECD average of 22).
- Canadian physicians' salaries are the third highest in the OECD.
Key issues
- How do the provinces stand on the unilateral federal funding announcement? They get more money than they thought they might and less interference, but they also have nobody to blame but themselves as they move forward.
- Are the provinces capable of working together to address issues of common concern? What are the main constraints to reform of the various provincial health systems? Will federal withdrawal spawn a culture of leadership, innovation (and mutual learning) at provincial level that could be highly beneficial?
- What are the implications for the Canadian health system of the federal withdrawal? Does care become more uneven across the country? Do continued challenges to the Canada Health Act eventually weaken this beyond recognition? Is the federal government giving up an important opportunity to `buy change' or exercise leadership (or was this never possible anyway)?
- Financing problems have not gone away. No developed country has succeeded in keeping healthcare spending in check. We are therefore likely to require new sources of funding for health at either federal or provincial level over the next decade. Where will the money come from?
- What of the crisis in aboriginal health? We have had few indications of how the federal government expects to move in this area. The National Aboriginal Health Organization is being cut, but ostensibly for governance reasons. Devolving aboriginal healthcare away from the federal govt. may well be the best solution. How does this happen?
- Does this deal signify the end of any meaningful federal role in health or are future governments likely to try to reverse the withdrawal?

In 2011, Canada 2020 asked Dr. Philippe Couillard to provide some historical context on Canada's "broken" health care system. Then, Dr. Couillard was out of politics, working as an adviser at the SECOR Group. Today, he is the newly elected Premier of Quebec, having just won an impressive majority mandate for the Quebec Liberal Party. His essay, Lessons from 2004, Perspectives for 2014, offers a glimpse into the new Premier's policy thinking, not just on the issue of health, but on his overall approach to making choices in government.
Opinion: Searching for Canada's Michelle Obama
Canada needs to confront its crisis in public health, and quickly determine how we can come together to combat obesity and related chronic diseases. Canadians are up against the same public health challenges as our American neighbours.
The First Lady of the U.S. has provided a very visible rallying point in that country. Here in Canada we do not have such a figure, but, encouragingly, we do have a federal government that is becoming more active in this space.
Opinion: The need to experiment in healthcare
Canadians are always wont to compare our system to the U.S. This makes sense, but only in geographic terms. There are numerous examples of mixed public-private systems around the world that exhibit substantially greater cost effectiveness and better medical outcomes than our own.

When you're dropping a 1.8 engine into a 1.6 Miata, you need to keep the 1.6 throttle body to work with your old ECU. Adapting this to the new manifold is the biggest part of the job. This adaptor will allow the throttle body to bolt up to either a 1994-97 or a 1999-05 manifold. The throttle body does not need to be modified at all as the adaptor is thick enough to allow clearance of all parts. Two holes need to be drilled and tapped in your manifold then this adaptor bolts right up. Includes all necessary fasteners. Save yourself some trouble!
Included in our 1.8 conversion kit. Note - this will move your throttle body forward about 11/16", or 17mm. The 1.8 engine is also longer than the 1.6. Your existing intake will need some modification.

BOSTON – DEC. 8, 2016 – Bullhorn®, the cloud computing company that helps relationship-driven organizations transform their businesses, today announced the release of its new ebook, "Perception vs. Reality: How Staffing Firm Service Compares to Client Expectations," created in collaboration with CareerBuilder, the global leader in human capital solutions.
The research identified major disparities between staffing firms' perception of the service they provide and what clients say about the service they receive based on factors such as service delivery, proactivity, and communication. The survey findings also suggested that opportunities through technology can improve client services and create incredible customer experiences.
According to the research, many staffing firms have been disconnected from their clients' satisfaction with the service they deliver because there hasn't been enough open communication between firms and clients. Staffing firms have been inundated as their revenues have continued climbing and new technologies have either debuted or improved to support their processes.
However, staffing firms strongly need to amend customers' perception of their service delivery:
To mitigate these disparities, staffing firms can employ several strategies to enhance their client relationships, including increasing the quality of recruited candidates, providing faster response rates to client inquiries, and incorporating technology measuring customer sentiment.

Posted on March 16, 2016
With the increase in the number of off-patent drugs released into the market, pharmacies have started to look into bulk compounding in order to save money. Specific active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) are not approved individually by the FDA, but a bulk drug may be created by a manufacturer that is certified under the administration. For pharmacies, there are several benefits1 associated with utilizing APIs during the compounding process.
In the event that approved dosages are being used, pharmacies can eliminate the need to identify active ingredients and initial doses because the information is already provided by the manufacturer. The elimination allows pharmacies to compound drugs, save time and improve overall efficiency in the creation process.
The Use of Bulk Drugs in Sterile Compounding
Approximately 80 percent of APIs originate from foreign facilities, according to the National Association of Boards of Pharmacy.2 It can be difficult to trace their origins, and cases of contamination and inaccurate dosages have been logged by the FDA. However, government organizations have created several standards to protect compounding pharmacies from these pitfalls.
For example, the USP and FDA now collaborate to evaluate existing monographs and identify any contamination before APIs are used in the compounding process. The NABP also works with the FDA to help state inspectors evaluate APIs on a local level.
Under existing legislation, APIs must now come from FDA-registered facilities not under FDA enforcement action before a pharmacy can guarantee a compounded drug's safety. Purchase orders and receipts must also be available to trace an API's origin.
Aside from the regulatory benefits, there are also financial advantages for sterile compounding pharmacies that choose to utilize APIs. For example, the interchangeable use3 of these products from generic manufacturers can reduce overall cost. APIs can typically be purchased at a fraction of the price of other pre-manufactured products.
Depending on the amount of off-patent drugs being produced, it may be beneficial for a sterile compounding pharmacy to introduce APIs to save money. However, each situation varies according to the pharmacy at hand.
The FDA and Bulk Drug Substances
The FDA addressed the use of bulk chemicals with an interim policy on compounding in October 2015.4 This publication pertained to the use of bulk drugs under Section 503B of the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act.
Section 503B includes restriction on bulk substances that can be used in outsourcing facilities – the same facilities being turned to by drug manufacturers to reduce production costs. The two conditions specified by the FDA:
Approximately 190 substances are being considered for the 503B list. The FDA is also working on a final interim guide for the use of bulk substances at outsourcing facilities.5
Perhaps the largest advantage for bulk sterile compounding pharmacies is cost management. When a pharmacy chooses to utilize these chemicals, they have the option of shopping around for the best provider of the generic ingredient. This ultimately gives it control over the amount of money spent on sterile compounding and production.

Christiane Dopp (Germany) and Alberto Battocchi (Italy) from their respective film funds will present their approach to incentives. Green film consultant Philip Gassmann (Germany) will explore how we can apply new ideas for a more sustainable film production in an easy and even cost-effective way. Furthermore, Bettina Kahlert (Switzerland) will present a case study that includes resource efficiency consulting and a catalogue of measures for film sets.
From 12:30 pm there will be a lunch on the fly to reflect on the inputs and keep discussing the new ideas in a relaxed setting.

Santa Claus Conquers the Martians (Pain Box)
Santa Claus Conquers the Martians (1964 Embassy Pictures Corporation Dir. Nicholas Webster)
Freddie Mercury didn't die, he got his ass to Mars.
Here we have a movie that pulls double duty. Not only is this part of The Pain Box, but it's an MST3K classic as well! It was Episode 21 of Season 3, first broadcast on the 12th of December in 1991. It regularly features on lists of worst films ever made and is so bad no one wants to claim the copyright on it. In fact, I know of no version where the title is included. That screen cap there is the title as put on a cheap character generator by the company that put this DVD out. Getting that required watching the beginning of the movie by the way, and if you want to know pain all you have to do is listen to the opening song. That is really, really bad. It does not bode well. Let us not forget what happened last time I watched one of these atrocious movies. Still, I've got Fancy, and a bottle of something to keep me sane.
What'd ya know? Despite what Arnold said, it was a tumor after all.
So the movie starts with an interview with Santa, which is being watched by some Martian children. It seems that Martian kids like American TV, which is pretty hateful in this movie. The guy doing the interview makes some horrendous jokes, and then gets to the interview, which is pretty bad. I could just copy & paste the phrase "pretty bad" over and over again until it fills four pages and call it a review if I wanted to. Just slap up some screen caps with suggestive captions and call it a day. I won't though, I'm a… well, not a professional, but I'm at least dedicated to my… well it's not a craft exactly, more of a pastime. Actually, it's more like self-flagellation. Can you tell I don't want to talk much about this movie? That's because A) it's bad B) it's been reviewed dozens of times before and C) I want this to be a relatively short review. Anyway, the interview with Santa goes about as badly as you could expect, Santa comes off as either drunk, stoned or anxious to get both.
He tried to smile bravely, but it just didn't work. He was cast in this movie and there was nothing to be done about it.
The interview over, Santa goes to smoke a bowl with the interviewer. We are then transported to Mars, where we learn that Martians are really, really dumb. The lead Martian can't even find one of his lazy looser Martians as he sleeps under a desk. No, really, he's walking around calling his name while standing RIGHT OVER HIM! He then whips out a stick that tickles the guy to wake him up. I think the lazy Martians name is "Dropo" but I'm not sure. Hang on a sec. YUP! Dropo. Now, Dropo is the laziest man on Mars, which makes him the comic relief. That statement alone should count as comic relief, since the derisive snort you just gave will provide more entertainment than Dropo will. Anyway, Dropo was supposed to be watching the kids, but instead just let the kids watch the television. The adult Martian make them go to bed, ordering it sharply in fact. It's almost like he's got something to hide, like he wants to avoid an issue. I was going to try and watch the MST3K version which has better audio, but I can't because the movie was cut for broadcast. So I had to watch the actual DVD. This means I couldn't have the distraction of Mike & The Bots, so the Pain Box really lived up to it's name.
"All we hear is Radio Ga-Ga!"
"What's that? Were you saying something?"
So the adults think the children shouldn't be watching so much TV and they go to see the wise old man of the mountain. Why wise men always seem to live in caves I'll never understand, doesn't seem terribly wise to me. Anyway, the old man of the mountain explains that the Martian children need someone like Santa Claus for them to be kids. Seems the Martians treat their kids like adults to the extent that the kids act like adults. So they've got to get a Santa on Mars according to the old man, so they decide to kidnap him and get him to Mars. Strangely, not everyone is on board with this plan, awesome as it is. I'm guessing that since sodomy wasn't mentioned, and the anal probes were left at home, there will continue to be resistance to the idea. Yeah, that's right. I deliberately decided to put the idea of Santa being sodomized by Martians in your head. If I've ruined your holidays, then I'm happy.
I think we're stuck being in this crappy movie. You didn't have any plans for having a career did you?
The Martians go to earth, looking for Santa, and get a little confused what with there being a bell ringer dressed in the traditional red suit on every corner. They then pull the biggest boner of this whole movie. They approach the stupidest children on Earth. Seriously we're talking the heirs to the Harker throne of stupidity here. Betty and Billy are just a little bit dumber than a couple of sacks of hammers. Of course, the Martians are so dumb they decide to kidnap the kids and make them show them where the North Pole is… because a globe would have been too tough? They also got lousy actors to play the Harker children. Side note, the news doesn't have much to talk about because while reporting the Martian craft, they break in to mention that Billy and Betty have vanished, like five minutes after they were snatched. Hundreds of kids are kidnapped and sold to wealthy Japanese businessmen for their healthy organs every day, but these two get talked about on the national news?
The finest cardboard robot money can buy.
So once the Martians leave the kids alone and go to kidnap Santa, the kids escape from the ship and start running around the North Pole. Now, I've always understood that the North Poll was a bit nippy, but it seems you can get around with your average fuzzy sweater and mittens without dying of exposure. No special gear needed to survive in the Arctic. The Martians, predictably, freak out and send a supposedly unstoppable robot after them. The robot catches the kids, and then goes for Santa in one of the worst action scenes this side of a Merchant Ivory film. Santa stops the unstoppable robot just by showing interest in him. I guess killer robots are really just hungry for attention. The Martians freeze everyone, giving Santa an opportunity to insult his wife before they drag him off to their flying saucer.
Ooooh, won't you take me home tonight?
We then engage in some pretty epic filler about the reaction to the kidnapping. It goes absolutely nowhere, but it does waste a few precious moments of my life that I could have used to do something useful. Oh, who am I kidding? I'd just have kept watching this crap or something like it. Anyway, after that Santa tells the kids a joke that falls completely flat, and I like that. In fact, over and over again his jokes fall flat. I'm going to skip quite a bit here, because it's sort of dull. Short version, a bad Martian (the one with the Freddie Mercury mustache) decides to whack Santa and the kids. He fails and everyone calls him out for being such a cockbite. After that, they get to Mars and the party gets started.
Don't you understand? There's no escape for me. I'm gonna be the kid from this movie for the rest of my life!
Santa gets an automated workshop set up, but not before Santa giggles like an insane and creepy old man. You can see where the child molester comments about Santa come from, this is seriously creeptastic. Anyway, the place gets going and the kids help him on his new workshop. I guess the child labor laws are a little different on Mars than they have here because the sweatshop is just accepted without a blink. The whole thing is a bit tedious I've got to tell you. It doesn't matter, because the bad Martian is returning to get rid of Santa. Really though, they grab Dropo who dressed up in one of Santa's spare suits. Why they can't see that it's actually Dropo and not Santa is beyond me. He doesn't even look a tiny little bit like Santa. They come to threaten the good Martians, but a fight scene (with the requisite capoeira fighting) breaks out. Actually, it's worse than that, the kids attack the bad Martian with the toys, which he's totally unprepared to deal with, only being armed with handguns and laser beams. You can see how a drumming monkey would be too much of a problem if all you had was a Colt .45 automatic to defend yourself with. It actually rivals the earlier killer robot bit for lameness.
Even the Martians are bored!
At the end of the fight, Santa explains that Dropo can take his place. This would mean that either Dropo has found his place, or he's about to epically screw up being Santa. Santa then says it's time to go home, and he leaves with Billy and Betty in tow. The Martians wave goodbye, neglecting to give him a lift or anything. The credits then begin to run, with that obnoxious song from the opening credits playing again. In the end credits, they ever flash the so-called lyrics to the song, but I didn't catch them because I was typing and I don't have the strength to go back and find the scene again. As an added bonus to the horror of this situation, why don't you watch this abomination of filmmaking? Here, have a view…
Now, don't you feel like repenting?

Krungsri Credit Card
Brand story
Krungsri Credit Card (KCC) offers people a variety of different products to meet their individual finance and lifestyle needs.
Krungsri Credit Card wished to increase the awareness of and traffic to credit card applications, and selected Appier as its technology partner to reduce its customer acquisition costs and improve the quality of customer leads.
Krungsri Credit Card committed 60% of its lead generation budget to Appier's AI-powered intelligent audience solution (Gillnet) to segment audiences and find the most valuable prospective customers.
Appier's AI-powered segmentation works by first defining specific segments based on massive audience behaviors, such as frequency and time of visits, and products viewed. Next, predictive AI technology combines the best segments based on rules such as 'two visits in last five days' or 'item added to card in last 14 days'. Following that, the AI ranks the segment combinations based on their value, for example, customers who visited twice in recent days and added an item are most important. Finally, KCC can reach its top performing segments through social media platforms such as Facebook.
AI-powered segmentation reduces the number of overlapping audiences, allowing Krungsri Credit Card to identify more individual target customers. The click-through-rate (CTR) to credit card applications increased by 138% over the course of the campaign, and the average cost-per-acquisition (CPA) exceeded the set KPI by 72%.
KCC was also able to understand the profiles of the best performing audience segments. These were mobile and PC users who visited credit card product pages eight times in one day, and mobile users who clicked 'Apply Online' once a day. These behavior patterns were captured, and KCC was able to deliver relevant advertisements at critical moments in the user journey.
Client testimonial
"At Krungsri, we foster an innovative culture and aim to become a financial technology pioneer and provider," said Somwang Toraktrakul, Managing Director of Krungsri Credit Card. "Part of this involves leveraging data more efficiently using AI to find and engage with customers, so partnering with Appier to do this was an obvious choice. We have been exceedingly pleased with the results, and we see real potential for further adoption of AI."
