Saransh Goila – Donning The Garb Of A Chef At A Very Young Age

Imagine a 12 year old preparing 30-odd ‘Aloo ke Paranthe’ and serving them to his family. Many would have found it hard to believe but those who have seen it themselves can actually discern from that child’s abilities of what a great chef he would be one day. And that is a real life experience that has been shared with me by none other than Saransh Goila himself.

A young, down-to-earth, good-hearted, jolly but a resolute and a strong personality – that is how I will best describe Saransh Goila, the chef and author of the popular food travelogue ‘India on my Platter’ fame. His unwavering determination to succeed despite the odds he faced in the early part of his career is something we all can draw an example from. It’s this firmness and his sheer belief to do something big in life from a very young age resulted in his success and becoming the person he always wanted to be.

How does a festival like this fit into your chef journey?

I do a lot of food festivals. So this is a major part of my job – interacting with people offline, understanding their views, their way of cooking, talking to housewives and taking their feedback of whether they can relate to whatever we show on TV to their everyday cooking styles. So you happen to establish these kind of connections when you are visiting these festivals. For me festivals like this are very important.

As a chef I personally believe it is my responsibility to help people who are trying to take this food festival culture ahead. We need more of these events in India and that’s what the need of the hour is. So absolutely I had to be a part of this festival.

Where did you learn to cook and what is the first dish you have prepared as a chef?

I took my first formal culinary lessons from IHM Aurangabad. I got my BA Honours in Culinary Arts. So I was trained to be a chef. The first proper dish I had prepared as a trained chef was spaghetti Moilee which also became my signature dish then. So Moilee is a south Indian curry and it became one of my trademark dishes when I was applying for my jobs. And it went on to become an instant favourite with the chef who selected me.

As a chef what do you have to say about the upcoming food industry in India?

Regional food is on the upswing and is going to be the trendsetter. Serving regional authentic food in a new format with innovative concept is what is going to be the latest trend in this industry.

How many years have you been in this profession? How has been the journey like?

Professionally it has been 10 years. I went to IHM Aurangabad in 2005 and 2008 was when I graduated. My first job was with The Leela, Bangalore. There I was working with the Indian restaurant Jamavar. My front office manager selected me to host a Christmas event. And that’s when I realized of how good I am on the stage. I decided to use that skill of mine to do more creative things. I left the hotel 3 months after that event and went to Mumbai, where I took an acting course. I learnt to face the camera and be more confident before it. My aim was to be one of those chefs who could develop content along with food for TV and web. And with this my new journey started. When I returned to Delhi, I opened a catering company as I was not getting any opportunity. For two years I ran that company but deep inside me my dream of doing a TV stint was still alive. When things did not go as planned, I shut my company down and was planning to go to the States to do a course in Food Journalism, when one day I came to know that my visa got rejected. But there was no regret because soon after I got a call from Food Food. I never had to look back after that as everything started falling into place. So that is how I got my first TV opportunity.

What is the first dish you have prepared?

I was 12 when I first prepared ‘Aloo ka Parantha’ for my family. At home everyone call me ‘Anshu’and after everyone came to know of my culinary skills, they used to say ‘Anshu ke haath ke parathe khane hai’. I remember those 6 years before I went to college, whoever relatives I went to visit, I was surrounded with a general request to make aloo ke parathe. I was fortunate to have picked up these things while I was still a kid.

What is your thought on Fusion Food? What is your favourite Fusion Food?

I think Fusion is cool because not everything can be authentic as there are so many things you have added to the cuisine. Like today we add tomatoes to every dish we prepare and so it becomes a fusion. Fusion starts at a basic level and then it goes higher. For instance, lots of people like tossing pasta in Makhani sauce. Some people may call it blasphemy but for me its can be done, there is no harm in trying it.

I do a lot of Indian Fusion but that happens to be more of regional fusion. I might take a curry from South India and mix it with ingredients from the East. So that is the kind of inter-state Fusion I enjoy.

What do you have to say about the nutritional and healthy quotient in Indian food?

When you prepare food at home, its 20% healthier than what you have outside. Barring people who go on diets, we Indians like to have good food, which is tasty. But how much hard we try, we cannot get rid of carbohydrates or fats in it, little amount of it gets consumed in the regular food we have. However you can take some precautionary steps – like when we make Moong ka Halwa, you need a lot of oil to roast the Moong dal. But after roasting it, you can strain out the excess oil which will make your dish less oily. Cooking methods can thus make a big difference.

What kind of struggles did you face at the beginning of your career?

The biggest obstacle I faced was in 2011 when my VISA got rejected and I had already shut my company down. I was beginning to have this thought within me that I did not want to be just a chef inside the kitchen but I wanted to be somebody who develops food content, appear on YouTube and TV and become a known name in the industry. I eventually earned name and fame but it took me 3 years to make my mark in the industry. Since I was living off my parents’ money even then, I consider that phase as the toughest part of my life.

Can you share any experience from your initial days?

I remember this incident from my childhood days, during the wedding of my ‘Chachu’. It’s at that wedding that I made those Aloo Paranthas (remember I told you at the beginning). There were 30 odd people and it was 2 AM on the Mehndi night. Since everyone was hungry, I volunteered to make paranthas, which surprised everyone because I was just 12 then. The halwai had left some boiled aloo in the fridge and I could also find some ‘goonda huwa ata’. I knew where the spices are kept in the kitchen and I also knew what masalas my mother used to add to the Aloo Parantha dough. I and my ‘Chachu’ together made 30 Paranthas that night. It’s an incident me and my family would never forget because it was at that point everyone came to realize that being a 12 year old, I could actually cook.

Which style of cooking do you advice – Indian or continental?

Given that I am an Indian chef, I prefer Indian style of cooking. I like pure ‘desi khana’, and so I like to call myself ‘sadak chef’.

Which is your favourite ‘ghar ka khana’?

I like Sindhi Kadi Chawal, which is a traditional dish of Sindhis. My mom is a Sindhi and she prepares it in an authentic way.

What is your Signature dish?

My signature dish is Goila Butter Chicken. It’s my version of Butter Chicken and have named it after my name.

Any advice you would like to give to anyone aspiring to be a Chef?

It’s absolutely a fantastic time to be a chef, it just cannot get better. This is the time when chefs are being looked upon as artists and not just skilled labour. You can command lots of respect. I understand it’s a tough industry; shifts are endless, you will have to work for 12-14 years. But I am very sure hotels will eventually start paying chefs enough, that change will surely come.

Paris Art Deco Museum- 2018/2019 Paris Museums Guide

Paris is a haven for art lovers. Art Deco is among the globally renowned museums that offer a glimpse to some of the most treasured collections in the field of art. Know that the Art Deco Museum is actually different from Art Nouveau which was established first.

Going to the museum is like stepping on precious jewels because the entire place is filled with treasures from different eras. You will surely admire the works of Tampara de Lempicka and AmédéeOzenfant who are both painters, Jean Dunand who is a remarkable copperware designer, Pierre Chareau who is a distinguished cabinet maker, and more.

Paris Museums Guide

Arts décoratifs is among the wealthiest of all artistic collections in the world. You will find this art deco Museum in Rue de Rivoli. It contains a vast collection of works that span from the Middle Ages to the Modern Times. It is recorded that over 150,000 works are exhibited in the museum. Among the creations that will stun you are ancient ceramics, historic furniture designs, jewelry pieces, and even antiquated toys. Personally, I have great admiration for the armchair that was designed by Pierre Legrain and the dressing table that was made by Eileen Gray.

In addition, you can also check another museum worth visiting is the Musée d’Orsay. It boasts of a number of collections from three other museums such as the Musée du Luxembourg, the Palais de Tokyo, and the Louvre. Most of the works that you will see in Musée d’Orsay are those that were crafted in the 19th Century.

Another museum worthy of your visit is the Musée des années 1930 which you can find at Boulogne-Billancourt which is located in the region of Ile-de-France. It is not your usual art museum because apart from sculptures, paintings, and drawings, you will also find some of the most beautiful decorative pieces and furniture designs inside it. Even some of the blueprints of architectural designs can be found exhibited in this museum. The Musée des années was established in the early part of 20th Century and it provides a glimpse to France’s war period in the past. The works of Jacques-Emile Ruhlmann, Tamara de Lempicka, and Paul Landowski are among the wonders that you will find in this museum.

Additional Paris Museums

If you are still not content with the stuff from those museums, then you have to visit the Musée de l’Airet de l’Espace. It is famous for containing a very fabulous exhibit – a mystical room with eight columns. Apart from this, it is also popular for being the most grandiose aviation museum in France and the entire world.

Drawing Crayon Helmets

The Pastello Drawing Helmet Turns a Child’s Head into a Crayon

— July 7, 2014 — Art & Design
Mathery Studio has designed a clever wearable art tool to help children take their creative drawing skills to the next level. The Pastello crayon helmet allows children to use their heads as a drawing tool rather than a conventional crayon stick.

The Pastello crayon helmet gets its name from the Italian word for pastel. The name fits well with this crayon helmet that embodies the same fluid art techniques as pastel drawing. The Pastello helmet works by incorporating three circular crayon balls into a white helmet. The wearer is encouraged to put the Pastello helmet on and lean their head against a wall surface—one that is hopefully intended to be drawn on—and used controlled motions to sketch and draw. Kids and adults alike can enjoy embracing their other senses to create works of art.

If you’re one of the millions of Canadians who avoid dental visits each year because of anxiety, you could be putting yourself at greater risk for cavities, gum disease, or tooth decay. That’s why Trillium Dental offers sedation dentistry as one of our services.

Now, anxiety doesn’t have to stand between you and your oral health. Whether you experience mild, moderate, or extreme anxiety, with Trillium Dental you can finally have the smile you deserve.

Which Type of Sedation Is Most Right For Me?

The option that’s most right for you will depend on your level of anxiety. Patients with mild anxiety may only need nitrous oxide, better known as laughing gas, while patients with moderate to extreme anxiety may want to consider oral or IV sedation.

All three can safely and significantly reduce feelings of anxiety. In fact, with oral and IV sedation, you may become so relaxed you actually fall asleep in the dental chair. Their effects last much longer than nitrous oxide, though, so patients who choose oral or IV sedation will need a friend or family member at their appointment to drive them home afterward.

A More Comfortable, Relaxing Dental Visit

Maintaining your oral health doesn’t have to be a cause for anxiety. If you want to know how you can have a more comfortable, relaxing dental visit—or to just schedule your next regular appointment- 0r if you have any question about invisalign and dental implants—contact us today. We have offices in Ottawa, Nepean, Kanata, Orleans and Stittsville.

Thomas Cook the new Dr. Evil, demanding £1,000,000 success fee

I just saw this story from Brand RepublicThomas Cook in pitch fee row.

It reminds me of Dr. Evil from Austin Powers, demanding his one million dollars!

I spoke about this and the general concept of success fees in pitches during the Mumbrella Podcast this week.

This issue here is that the charging of success fees is false economy. Lets look at the economics of the Thomas Cook example.

The media billings per annum = £30,000,000

Agency costs for the pitch (industry estimate) = £150,000

Signing on fee (reported) = £1,000,000

Agency income in first year (Based on a generous 5% commission equivalent) = £1,500,000

Therefore in the first year the agency would have an income of £350,000.

Plus they have to deliver a 10% reduction in the consolidated media rate.

Plus Thomas Cook want a reduction in agency fee, so what if the agency fee is the equivalent of 3%? Then the agency is subsidising the client £250,000 in the first year.

This is without calculating the actual agency cost to provide the services.

Who will end up paying?

In the short term Thomas Cook. Because while they may get money up front they will end up getting what they are paying for – low price and therefore low quality media strategy and planning.

In the longer term: if this catches on, the agencies as procurement people globally will have turned the pitch into a profit centre.

My solution is posted on the Brand Republic Report:

Shame, shame, shame Thomas Cook.

Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.

I encourage everyone in the industry who finds this behaviour abhorrent to call their local Thomas Cook branch and ask them to pay you £1000 for the opportunity to provide a quote for your next trip. And keep doing it. If they ask why then tell them you are just doing to them what their company is doing to the industry.

Hamish, ask your members to contact Thomas Cook and say they are tendering their millions of pounds in travel. And then ask £10,000 to tender for it.

Treat them as they are treating the industry. Bullies only learn a lesson if there is consequences. Lets show them the consequences of their greedy actions.

The outside world doesn't owe us anything

Special Guest

About this Episode

We welcome a very special guest: Ewandro Magalhaes. Ewandro tells us how he made his super-successful TED-Ed video "How interpreters juggle two languages at once" (http://ed.ted.com/lessons/how-interpreters-juggle-two-languages-at-once-ewandro-magalhaes). We then talk about how to make better PR for the interpreters' profession, both individually and collectively.
Music: Oooh, oooh, by Podington Bear (http://freemusicarchive.org/music/Podington_Bear/Party/OoohOooh)

Episode Links

  • LangFM podcast interview with Ewandro Magalhaes
  • Ewandro's website
  • How interpreters juggle two languages at once — Language is complex, and when abstract or nuanced concepts get lost in translation, the consequences may be catastrophic. Given the complexities of language and cultural exchange, how do these epic miscommunications not happen all the time? Ewandro Magalhaes explains how much of the answer lies with the skill and training of interpreters to overcome language barriers.
  • Looking for Interpreter Zero: (2) Enrique, Magellan’s Slave Interpreter — How Enrique, a Malay-speaker acquired by Magellan during the siege of Malacca, became an interpreter and go-between as the expedition searched for the Spice Islands.
  • The problem with "merely beginning" — There comes a time in everyone’s career where they will disagree with those who have inspired them. I am a big fan of the short, pithy posts from marketing maestro, Seth Godin but yesterday, he slipped up. Or rather, he missed an important detail.
  • How to speak in public — The European Commission's DG Interpretation has been organising training sessions for delegates and meeting chairs for several years in order to promote better communication in multilingual meetings. Participants are given the opportunity to try to interpret different qualities of speakers themselves in order to increase their awareness of How to speak in public -- with a fair chance of being understood. This clip with José Iturri, a senior Spanish interpreter at the European Commission's DG Interpretation (SCIC), gives a short introduction to our delegate awareness program (in EN).
  • Smart Speaking, by Calliope Interpreters — Our popular video provides tips to help speakers prepare themselves before addressing multilingual audiences.
  • Translation and Interpreting: Getting it Right (ATA) — For non-linguists, buying interpreting services is often frustrating. Many buyers are not even sure they need a professional interpreter since they know someone who is bilingual and willing to help out. Potential clients need to know the value your services can bring to their business. That's where Interpreting: Getting It Right comes in--a straightforward brochure explaining the where, why, and how of professional interpreting services. It's a quick read and perfect for client education.

Dutch models are very well known in the internation fashion world . One of the most successful model of the moment is Daphne Groeneveld.
You might know her from the Dior parfume where she shows her butt for Dior’s Addict fragrance and she is walking show after show.

Currently she is also on the cover of WSJ magazine’s september issue. She wears a jacket with feathers (which you will also not see every day) this is part of its baroque clothing combination, a fashion trend we will frequently see coming winter.

Communicate Your Brand’s Personality Through True Dialog

Successful Brands Define Themselves as an Actual Person

In secret meetings, brand managers might refer to their brand as she, he, athletic, hipster, emo, rock star, popular, hungry, party animal, surfer…you get the idea.  In this posting, I’ll refer to the “brand” as a “she”.  A compelling and interesting brand carefully selects characteristics that her target demographic aspires to become.  In a brilliant blend of science and talent, brand managers design this perfect personality who impacts everything that could possibility influence their customers.true dialog, brand's personality, text messaging

Your Brand’s Personality In A Text

Text Marketing is an excellent way to have a brand’s personality communicate with her customers.  Think about it – how do friends communicate with each other these days?  Do they send letters in the mail (print mail advertising)?  Do they hang giant posters of their friend in the front window of their house (in-store banner advertising)?  If any friend of mine did that, the stalker card would fly out of my pocket faster than I bolt out of my office door on a Friday afternoon.  These days, friends communicate with each other through text messaging and social media.  A super in-tune brand engages her fans through their channel of choice – their mobile phone.

One-way text messaging, however, just isn’t going to cut it.  If a brand truly cares about what her fan thinks, then it just won’t work.  One-way text messaging is, simply rude.  If I sent a good friend a text message and she didn’t respond….her phone better be either lost or water saturated.  Again, we all know that ignoring a text message is just plain inconsiderate.

Luckily, 3Seventy has developed an innovative way for a brand to complete a conversation with her fan, not just start a conversation.  Dialog texting is best used to find out 2-3 key pieces of information about your fan.  In the world of mobile marketing, we call that “small talk”.  So brands, stop being rude.  Engage your fans through dialog texting; make them feel like you care about who they are and what they would like to eat for dinner.  Your brand is smart and polite, and she will definitely jump for joy when you guide her towards an engaging mobile strategy.

Morris County, NJ, man arrested after TSA stops him from bringing a loaded gun onto an airplane at Newark Liberty International Airport

Local Press Release
Monday, October 28, 2019
TSA officers at Newark Liberty International Airport detected this loaded handgun in a traveler’s carry-on bag on October 28. (TSA photo)

NEWARK, N.J. – A Morris County, New Jersey, man was arrested this morning, October 28, after Transportation Security Administration officers at Newark Liberty International Airport caught him trying to bring a .22 caliber handgun loaded with four bullets, past a security checkpoint in Terminal C.

TSA officers caught the handgun in the Morris Plains, New Jersey, resident’s carry-on bag as it entered the checkpoint X-ray machine. The traveler was arrested by Port Authority Police.

It marked the 11th gun caught at TSA checkpoints at Newark Liberty International Airport so far this year. Last year, 14 guns were caught at the airport’s checkpoints, which set a record for the most firearms caught at the airport in one calendar year.

Firearms Caught at Newark Liberty International Airport

(As of 10-28-19)

Passengers are permitted to travel with firearms in checked baggage if they are properly packaged and declared. Firearms must be unloaded, packed in a hard-sided case, locked, and packed separately from ammunition. Firearm possession laws vary by state and locality.

Nationwide last year, 4,239 firearms were discovered in carry-on bags at checkpoints across the country, averaging about 11.6 firearms per day, approximately a 7% increase nationally in firearm discoveries from the total of 3,957 detected in 2017. Eighty-six percent of firearms detected at checkpoints last year were loaded and nearly 34% had a bullet in the chamber.

As a reminder, individuals who bring firearms to the checkpoint are subject to possible criminal charges from law enforcement. Even travelers with concealed firearm permits are not allowed to bring guns onto airplanes in their carry-on bags. If an individual is a TSA Pre✓® member, that person could even lose TSA Pre✓® status. In addition, TSA has the authority to assess civil penalties of up to $13,333 for weapons violations. A typical first offense for carrying a handgun into a checkpoint is $4,100. The complete list of penalties is posted online.

TSA has details on how to properly travel with a firearm posted on its website. Travelers should also contact their airline as they may have additional requirements for traveling with firearms and ammunition.

City Accepting Requests for Deferral of Quarterly Liquor Taxes for Qualifying Businesses

On September 9, 2020, Mayor and Council passed Resolution 23277.  This resolution will allow qualifying businesses with Series 6 (Full Bar) or Series 7 (Beer & Wine Bar) Liquor Licenses, issued by the State of Arizona, to defer payment of their Tucson quarterly liquor taxes normally due under Section 19-52 of the city code.  Approved deferrals are good through January 1, 2021, or until the date when establishments with such licenses are permitted to reopen per proclamation of the Governor.  An approved deferral allows the business to pay the deferred quarterly liquor taxes when the business reopens. Qualifying businesses have until June 30, 2021 to remit to the City the quarterly liquor taxes deferred, and they may ask for a payment plan.  Penalties that accrue during the deferral time will be waived once the deferred quarterly taxes are paid in full.

To qualify for the deferral, the following criteria must be met:

  1. The business was closed due to the Governor’s emergency public health proclamation.
  2. The business is current on payment with the City for all other taxes, fees, and licenses owed to the City.

To request a deferral, please send an e-mail to  The e-mail should contain the following:

  1. A list of the quarters the business wishes to defer.
  2. A written statement certifying the time period the business has been closed.
  3. A written statement of understanding that the deferred quarterly liquor taxes will be due when the business re-opens.
  4. A written request for a payment plan if one is desired.

City staff will respond regarding the approval or denial of all requests for deferral of the quarterly liquor taxes.  For any questions, please e-mail or call 520-791-4247.

Dr. Tomo Tarui receives Five-Year NICHD Mentored Clinical Research Grant

Dr. Tomo Tarui, a Principal Investigator at the Mother Infant Research Institute at Tufts Medical Center, Pediatric Neurologist and Director of the Baby Neurology Program at the Tufts Children's Hospital, was awarded five years of mentored support from the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) for his research on the prenatal diagnosis of brain malformations.

Receipt of a K23 grant, “Prenatal diagnosis of brain malformations: improving assessment of prognosis,” is a significant achievement in itself, in the highly competitive funding atmosphere at the NIH. Moreover, it is a career milestone in Dr. Tarui’s path towards becoming an independent clinical investigator.

The goal of this study is to develop novel fetal neuroimaging and genetic diagnostic technologies for brain malformations that are detected in fetuses by second trimester prenatal ultrasound examination. Findings from this study will develop better ways to understand the long-term prognosis for fetuses that are identified as having brain malformations. The data will also be used to ultimately develop novel fetal treatments that could potentially improve neurodevelopmental outcomes in these affected children.

A Novel imaging technology with Fetal MRIs for 3-D Images of the Brain

Clearer and more accurate than ultrasound examinations, fetal MRI poses no risk to the baby. Fetal MRI technology is used in everyday clinical work as part of advanced obstetrical care such as prenatal diagnosis of fetal brain malformations. Dr. Tarui’s lab will utilize these imaging data for further analysis using an innovative computer software program to reconstruct a three-dimensional image of the brain, allowing them to determine structure, measure volume, calculate shape and analyze surface, curvature and slopes.

By measuring the fetal brain volume – both as a whole and in individual pieces - and reconstructing the brain surface, Dr. Tarui will examine the cerebral cortex, cerebellum which controls intellect and movement, and record any changes in the latter half of the pregnancy.

Fetal gene expression analysis using discarded amniotic fluid samples

Dr. Tarui’s team will also analyze amniotic fluid from women pregnant with fetuses with brain malformations.  Amniotic fluid tests are used in everyday clinical work to diagnose fetal genetic anomalies. The left over amniotic fluid sample (supernatant of amniotic fluid) is usually discarded. Using advanced genetic analysis technologies such as whole genome microarrays, researchers can analyze gene expression patterns of the samples  to determine which genes are turned on or off in living fetuses with brain malformations.

By examining specific changes in gene expression associated with the malformations, Dr. Tarui’s aim is to develop hypotheses for treatments to correct these diseases in affected fetuses in order to potentially improve neurodevelopmental function after these children are born.

Metrics and KPIs (Key Performance Indicators) help you evaluate the performance and progress of your business, but you need to set and monitor them in the most efficient way possible if they are to work well.

The basics: what are metrics and KPIs?

  • Metrics are the measures used to monitor each individual area of your business. It might be conversion rates on an email campaign, or leads from social media followers per month.
  • KPIs are a specific way of evaluating those metrics - by checking on their development and aiming to improve them. They are the metrics that matter most.

Why metrics and KPIs are so important

Productivity and efficiency are important in every business, and tracking your metrics and KPIs gives you a way of monitoring both. You can measure financial performance, reveal bad practices so you can fix them, and examine the overall performance of your business, as well as each department and every individual employee.

And all of this improves your ability to improve strategies and processes and achieve your business goals.

New Call-to-action

How to select metrics and KPIs for your business

We can't tell you what KPIs to set: that's down to your individual business and its specific goals. But be sure to narrow it down to your most important business goals - in terms of growth and maintaining your culture - and then look at how you can measure them.

When you set KPIs, you should naturally be looking to improve the metric, so set targets that relate to them and keep your employees in mind. Their KPI targets shouldn't be too easy to achieve, but they should be achievable or they're likely to demotivate employees.

In other words, know the difference between realistic ambition and setting yourself up for failure.

The SMART model for setting KPIs

SMART goals are achievable goals:

Specific - KPIs need to be specific in order to be able to measure them successfully and know when you've achieved them.

Measurable - Your aim is to see an improvement, so they need to be measurable.

Achievable - As already mentioned, unachievable KPIs will demotivate employees.

Relevant - All KPIs need to be relevant to your organisational goals and strategies.

Timely - Without giving time constraints to KPIs, you risk never achieving them.

For example...

Let's take expense payments as an example. You could set a KPI surrounding the total days taken between expense claims being received and reimbursement to the employee. Using Turbine to record, review and manage expenses online means you have a way to track this information, so you have the metrics to measure the KPI against.

In terms of ambition, your aim could be to reduce the time between receipt and reimbursement by 10 days. But, be sure to set your initial KPI at, perhaps, three days below the current average and set a time to review the metrics, for example two months time.

You should then measure, review and alter your KPI until you achieve your objective for that metric, then keep it at the ideal figure to maintain your achievement.

Implement this idea across all the key areas of your business and you'll soon see efficiency and productivity improve and your business blossom.

Another look for the TurboTas site

PHPNuke has been getting harder and harder to upgrade
recently.   although it’s OpenSource, a premium is required
to get the biggest, bestest, faster version.  Non payers have to
wait for a couple of months after release before they can download it.

While this works really well, and the ‘nuke authors certainly deserve
reward for their efforts, the need for cash is causing security patches
to be very hard to get for those without a subscription.

I’ve decided therefore to kiss goodbye to phpNuke and move to something
else.  A quick trawl of the OpenSource CMS sites will show
literally hundreds of products now all of which perform a similar
function to PHPNuke.

In the end, I’ve gone for a CMS that I’ve not even used before called Joomla
One of the most powerful selling points has been that I’ve managed to
migrate the article and user data without massive effort.

Please let me know what you think of the new site.  Expect the layout to change over the next few days!

Staying Cozy At Home and On the Go

Look 1: Pink PJ Set // Teddy Bear Robe // Slippers // Merry Everything Mug // Bralette

Look 2: Sweater Dress // Boots // Bag // Beanie, similar here

My winter break officially starts Friday and I could not be more ready! All I want to do is spend the day in my coziest pjs, wrapped up in a snuggly blanket with a cup of hot cocoa and binge watch Christmas movies on the Hallmark channel. Anybody else feel me? There really is nothing better than being nice and toasty inside when it’s so cold outside! With the holidays looming, the never ending list of errands makes this cozy dream impossible. Leaving my house is inevitable, and while dealing with the frigid temperatures is a given, dressing in comfy cozy pieces makes it more bearable!

When shopping for cozy pieces for around the house AND for going out, I always check the Topshop section at Nordstrom. Not only do they carry the cutest knits and outerwear, but they also have a great selection of cute pj sets and loungewear.

My favorite thing about winter break is spending lazy mornings around the house, before running errands in the afternoon. I love waking up, staying in my pjs and enjoying a cup of coffee while catching up on emails or wrapping presents. Enjoying a lazy morning is not something I get to do during the work week, and I can’t tell you how much I enjoy it! After a lazy morning, I feel refreshed and relaxed and ready to take on the rest of the day! This pj set is one of my current favorites! I love that I can wear it year round and I can’t get enough of the print! Paired with this cozy robe, I am all set for a lazy morning! Both of these pieces would make great Christmas gifts!

When heading out to run errands and get lunch with E (another one of my FAVORITE winter break activities…teachers don’t get to go out to lunch during the work week!), I opt for cozy knits that will keep me warm. While I love layering up, I also love a cute sweater dress. It’s one of my favorite ways to feel comfy and cozy all while feeling cute and put together! This sweater dress is SO warm! It’s made of a thicker knit, so it’s perfect for the winter! Styling tip…pair your sweater dresses with over the knee boots in the winter. It’s a great way to stay warm!

Why is There a Bank in Clock Town in The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask?

By Dan Portson
October 29, 2019

Am I the only one who constantly listens to Queen’s “Save Me” while playing Majora’s Mask? It’s my favorite title of the Zelda franchise, and also my favorite game that allows me three days to buy a $500 mask and listen to an old lady tell stories all night in exchange for “candy”. Who quizzes a person after telling them a story? Frankly, it’s rude.

As far as the game’s themes go, I could probably go on about the fragility of time, or how the moon is actually slowly creeping further away from Earth each year (3.8 cm further as a matter of fact), but all that has already been said. I don’t want to waste any of your time, because time is precious. Time is also money. Money, I say? I’m glad I brought that up. Don’t you think it seems odd that this is the first, and arguably only, Zelda title that involves you having to open up a bank account? A real-world, cumbersome responsibility stitched right into the fabric of a game about the precious nature of time.

In Ocarina of Time, during the first ten minutes of the game, you were practically forced to find a job in order to move the plot along. You could not leave the forest until you found a sword and purchased a shield…you know, like, with money. However, in Majora’s Mask, all you have to do is find a mask, and you have a whole 3 days to do that. After hanging out with a scarecrow and waiting for bubbles to collide in the multi-verse, you approach the Skull Kid when the time is right, and that’s it. You don’t really need to purchase anything. In fact, every item you receive has been bartered for (ie. entry to the observatory, land deed…), or was just found lying around, as in the Moon’s Tear.

The only thing you have the slightest urgency in purchasing is a map (at least for those first three days). Also, why is there a financial institution in Clock Town, but no storage facility for your weapons or important items? Oh yeah, that’s right…because you get to keep those whenever you travel back in time. Why do you get to keep your important items and weapons, but you don’t get to keep your stashes of rupees every time you spiral down the vacuum tube towards “Day 1 – 72 hours remain”?

It doesn’t really seem like Termina is much of a capitalist society that depends on banks to fund their big-business owners. Other than the ma and pa shops, the only business that seems to be happening around there is construction, and correct me if I’m wrong, but those construction workers don’t seem to be doing much of anything. One of them just stands and laughs at a sign on a building for three days. Is everyone’s money being lent to the ma and pa’s of Clock Town? Is that why there’s a bank account? To keep them afloat?

From what I can tell, there is plenty of money hanging out in the fields or in chests stashed above buildings. I don’t think money-lending plays a huge factor in why there’s a bank in Clock Town. Unless…the Skull Kid brought that beggar over from the Hyrule realm. Why would he do that, you ask? He did it to fulfill one very nefarious and very particular purpose: to steal my money. I mean, the bank is literally a hole in the wall. Also, the Skull Kid obviously doesn’t like me already, which is quite apparent seeing as he steals my horse and turns me into a Deku Scrub. I think he’s jealous because, like White-Ra, I have the special tactics (Starcraft joke).

I know what you’re thinking, there are many various characters that are leading many various parallel lives in Termina that have nothing to do with Hyrule whatsoever. What makes the beggar so special? All of these characters would most likely have something (or everything) to lose if they dropped their lives and moved to Termina all on the Skull Kid’s orders. However, the beggar from Hyrule is the only character who has nothing to lose and would even benefit from leaving his old, begging life behind to become a banker. He could keep some money off the top, and the rupees would never stop coming. Ok, here’s a scenario: You have 600 rupees deposited in the bank account, and you take out 500 to pay for a dumb All-Night Mask. How can the Skull Kid be taking my money, if it’s obviously still in the bank account?

The two obvious answers are using counterfeit rupees to replace mine, or the Skull Kid gets protection money from all the ma and pa shops. I mean, why not both, right? Wrong. Even though the Skull Kid could easily intimidate the local businesses enough to pay for protection, it would be protection from himself and I’m sure there’s a Palindrome Effect, or some other scientific anomaly that takes place if that were to happen. And I think it would be way too much of a hassle to keep on making fake rupees. It could actually be a lot simpler than that.

First let’s start with what we know: 1.) There is a door that leads from Hyrule to Termina, and the Skull Kid has been through it (arguably multiple times). 2.) Link goes back in time BEFORE the moon hits Termina every three days. This third, and final, factor is the MOST important, and I’m sure you’ll realize what it is before you even finish reading this sentence. 3.) There is a pocket in space where rupees magically appear out of thin air (and vases/boxes rematerialize) within the confines of Hyrule’s Caste Town.

Every time after Link deposits money and goes out into the field to do something heroic, the Skull Kid travels through the door to Hyrule, pays a visit to Hyrule’s Room of (Rupee) Requirement and replaces all of Link’s deposited money into the bank. He then pockets Link’s hard-earned cash for himself (giving a little interest to the beggar for helping him out). When Link travels through time, the Skull Kid travels back with Link, leaving the old beggar in Clock Town, finds the beggar again in Hyrule and repeats the process.

I mean, why wouldn’t the Skull Kid have the ability to travel through time? Link can do it with a plastic toy, and the Skull Kid has a full-on voodoo, black magic mask. Also, why would the Skull Kid steal MY money, when he could just continuously steal Hyrule Castle Town’s money? The Skull Kid gets more satisfaction out of stealing Link’s money (just like he did his horse and ocarina, and the Mask Salesman’s mask), but that’s pure speculation of course. All I know is that I didn’t need to fill out any paperwork to start using that bank, and I think that’s just a little suspicious.

Gray Mountain

Time lapse:
Thanks for looking! Really enjoyed painting - I haven’t painted since being young and fancied having a go. Really surprised by the results. Second oil painting.

Instagram @pointyfeatures

I love it. The mountain turned out stunning. The left side of the painting looks a little empty though. And me personally, I like blue, so I think the sky could use a little blue.

Just repainted this one after a few months!

This is gorgeous!

A couple of decades ago, vacation planning was a number of arduous work. Crawford at Delta stated the airline is collaborating with distributors and online travel agencies, however stated those third events have to spend money on extra show capabilities to point out more choices for various tiers of fares. Before everything, with a web-based journey company, you’ll be able to work with the place that has the lowest prices without geography limits.

While you may not at all times be able to call a customer service consultant, particularly when you like to do trip planning at three in the morning, you may at all times try packages offer on journey websites. As the world’s largest student and youth travel firm, we’ve been booking affordable adventures for awesome people since 1979.

Observation, empathy, and critical thinking – finding a customer researcher

By: Susann Clifton-Smith
Date: March, 2015
File under: Articles

Although I have been managing teams for five years now, it’s only recently that I have realised how growing up in the East German communist system contributed to appreciating skills that I am now looking for in a customer experience researcher.

You might wonder: “What useful skills can come from a political system invested in propaganda and so little fact? And what does this have to do with customer research?” In the following, I shall attempt to loop the two worlds together.

Living in a system that requires you to be very cautious about what and who you speak to equips you with a very astute sense for observing people. By watching people and asking the right questions, at the right moment, we identify opportunities that help us shape new concepts and ideas. Furthermore, it is the people’s reactions that we collect and translate back to design teams who help to visualise our insights. This process ensures that visual designs correspond to customers’ expectations.

In looking for this attribute in potential job candidates, I was amazed how difficult it is to come by. Empathy is expressed in many different ways – but in our industry, I would determine it as:

  1. The ability to observe people
  2. Develop a sense for what they experience, and
  3. Formulate it for a group of people rather than just one entity.

Empathy is what enables a researcher to make adequate recommendations on designs. The best customer experiences I have come across have been developed by designers and researchers who can put themselves in someone else’s shoes.

Critical thinking

You probably wouldn’t immediately think that critical thinking is associated with a dictatorship environment. But actually, it is quite innate in people to secure survival.

Yet, in my experience, I have found it fascinating how much more likely I am to query information compared to my younger peers, who are used to absorbing content on social media. Although the digital world empowers us to globally share our knowledge and information, it is surprising how little people use it to learn to reflect, choose, and use multiple sources prior to making a decision.

Having been asked multiple times why I find critical thinking to be such an important attribute in a customer researcher, I realise it’s because I know firsthand how hard it is to live in a society that does not allow opinions other than those that are deemed ‘politically correct’.

Closing the divide

In essence, it is the combination of grasping opportunities at the right time and place, being armed with the right type of information, careful observation of people in multiple environments and a touch of empathy to weigh up our findings that gets our audience to listen to us. But in a society that takes these three skills for granted, unfortunately they can be hard to come by.

This is my favourite jacket!

This full zip hoodie is exactly what I've been looking for when I work out. The jacket is light yet warm and allows sufficient room to move when working out. My favourite item of clothing from under armour!

The Best Jacket I own

This would have to be one of my most favorite jackets both for comfort and warmth but still light weight. Great quality, and the best for wearing during light hikes, highly recommend

Grandsons love these

handsome, well made jackets; teen grandsons love them. an easy, practical gift [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

Overall a great hoodie

I have wide, thick shoulders which makes this hoodie a little snug in the arms and shoulders. However, otherwise its great! Keeps me warm enough in mildly cold weather, great for evening runs! [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

This product is really comfortable.

I really like thr brand and this product. This product is so good for outdoor activities and any sports. I usually play basketball with it [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

This sweater as become a go to for me. It fits tighter than most sweaters which I wasn’t sure about. However, after wearing it for awhile it really grew on me. It’s soft, warm, and you can wear it for any occasion. I’m 6’4” and this is the first sweater I’ve gotten where the sleeves weren’t too short. Great job UA

How Long Does Probate Take?

Gavel on blurred house background

The probate process

The Supreme Court of New South Wales (NSW) determines the legal authenticity of a deceased person’s will, or, when necessary, appoints an executor to manage the distribution of a decedent’s estate. Probate determines the authenticity of a contested/problematic will, or, establishes managerial authority for an individual who passes intestate, that is, without a will.

The Probate Process

Probate begins when a Supreme Court Justice orders to distribute a decedent’s assets among its rightful beneficiaries. When someone dies with a will, one must first apply for a ‘grant of probate’.

Aside from securing a death certificate, there are other requirements of when applying for probate. When there is no will, or some part of the will is considered invalid, the executor (or family member) needs to apply to the Supreme Court for authorisation as the administrator of the deceased’s estate. When this occurs, the Court will issue a “Grant of Letters of Administration“.

How to Apply for Probate

Before one can apply for estate administration, they must publish an online notification or affidavit of intent to apply for a grant on the New South Wales Online Probate Registry. The legal document known as the Grant of Probate authorise an executor (or administrator) to manage a decedent’s estate in accordance with the provisions of the deceased’s will.

Additionally, the following circumstances require probate:

  • Certain assets (properties, insurance, etc.) are not addressed in the Will
  • The Will is invalid or unenforceable
  • The decedent was not of sound mind
  • The legal rules of construction are ignored when preparing the Will

Interrelated issues often exasperate the intricate nature of probate. What if you learn that your now deceased spouse’s assets are outside of the country?  What if the asset’s accounts do NOT have you (the executor or beneficiary) as a signatory?

How Long will Probate Take?

A comprehensive legal procedure, like probate, takes 6 months to 2 years. Occasionally, probate takes decades.  But note, the reality is, nailing down an accurate timing of probate is, at best, challenging. This is because the timeline of the probate  process depends on a myriad of factors that include, in part:

  • The size of the decedent’s estate
  • The relative complexity of the estate
  • Whether the decedent left his affairs in order
  • The number of proposed heirs
  • If the will is being contested

Other variables impacting the length of probate include:

  1. the filing of related non-probate lawsuits
  2. tax implications
  3. legal procedural requirements

Be forewarned, though: Probate requirements differ by each state’s (or each country’s) legislation.  It is, therefore, wise to research the legal procedures of probate to build an understanding of probate requirements and terminology. It is also prudent to contact a probate lawyer so that you can begin to form an estimated timeline specifically tailored to your probate matter. A probate lawyer clarifies issues like probate fees and answers frequently asked questions. They can also provide a probate application or probate kit, and then assist in the probate process step-by-step.

What are the Steps When Filing for Probate?

Probate follows a court-supervised procedure that:

  • locates and determines the value of the decedent’s assets,
  • pays the estate taxes and final bills,
  • distributes the remainder of the estate to its rightful beneficiaries.

Authenticating the Last Will

When a decedent dies with a will, a judge establishes the veracity of the will.

Appointing a Personal Representative

A judge appoints an executor or an administrator who oversees the probate process.  Ultimately, the personal representative finalizes the decedent’s estate. It is important to note that if the decedent chose an executor, it usually appears in the will’s narrative.  In the absence of a will, the court appoints a close family member, if one is available.

Once appointed, a personal representative is responsible for:

  • Locating and protecting the decedent’s assets.
  • Determining the ‘Date Of Death’ values –  Using account statements and appraisals as set forth by relevant legislation.
  • Identifying known creditors – The personal representative may also need to publish a death notice in a local newspaper alerting unidentified creditors of the individual’s death.
  • Paying bills – The estate’s personal representative pays the decedent’s final bills. A personal representative maintains the authority to reject claims against the estate, though the refusal must have a valid legitimate basis.
  • Preparing and filing income tax return – The personal representative determines if the estate is liable for inheritance taxes or, other unpaid taxes for which the estate must pay.
  • Capital Gains Tax – Establishing the value of an asset with regards to capital gains purposes, is based upon the asset’s date of acquisition.
  • Use the Market Value – for assets acquired before September 20, 1985
  • Use The Asset’s Cost Basis – for assets acquired after September 20, 1985

Capital gains tax might exist if:

  • A personal representative sells an asset
  • A beneficiary of the probate estate is a not tax-exempt entity
  • The beneficiary resides outside Australia
  • The beneficiary sells an asset after the conclusion of probate

The personal representative’s final responsibility is to petition the court for permission to distribute the remaining assets to the beneficiaries.   Independent of whether there is a will or not, the decedent’s assets must be transferred the rightful heir. So, if a person dies with a valid will, the assets referenced in the will are transferred to the people designated by the will’s narrative.  If the person dies without a will or the probate court determines a will invalid, the transference of the estate’s assets is done in accordance with the provision of probate laws.

Many of the dispute or issues associated with probate can be avoided by proper estate planning. Learn more about estate plan and probate by speaking to a probate lawyer near you.
