How the data centre evolved to suit modern needs and new technology – YourStory

The basic principle of the IT industry is closely similar to how the rest of the world functions; things change after some time, new advancements and technologies are flown in along with a plethora of ideas and innovations. The past few months have changed how we deal with technology.

It has now become the backbone for business continuity and is mandatory for conventional businesses, data centres (DC) to adopt and be adept to the new norms and technology. As businesses run virtually and screen time of individuals increases, the real pressure is on data centres to be efficient than ever before.

While it is appalling, reality is to normalise the new normal. As per a recent CBRE report, Indias data centre market is set to grow in 2020 with rising demand and supply.

It further stated that with growing digital consumption patterns such as online gaming, education, streaming, ecommerce, data centre operators are expected to see a huge demand for data centre space.

As this data surge increases, traditional data centres will become bogged down. However, making the right investments in conjunction with Machine Learning (ML) can help these data centres drive operational efficiency and reduce costs.

Physical servers and storage equipment are the two key entities of any data centre. While their maintenance is not only time consuming but a potentially expensive task, if not done right, it can be a cause of the downfall of any conventional data centre.

Fortunately, AI-based predictive analysis has proven to be efficient for data centre managers to successfully distribute workloads across different servers.

A proper workload distribution allows each server to operate at its full potential, while also enabling to easily predict and manage data centre workload.

AI making services smarter is precisely why it has emerged as a priority.

ML has always been a blessing for IT professionals, having a unique capability to reduce human effort in daily IT monitoring tasks. ML solutions incorporate large amounts of data to accurately predict when a machine is close to its breaking point.

An intelligent rack power distribution unit enables a DC manager to monitor power distribution at a Power Distribution Unit (PDU) as well as the individual output level. It is also designed to give user-defined performance threshold alerts.

These notifications allow DC managers to effectively monitor the entire data centre without being physically present. This presents a huge opportunity in the current frame of business operation with social distancing being the new norm.

These intelligent PDUs give managers more real-time control of the DC operations turning a device on or off, managing if a device gets overheated, etc. Intelligence is the new progressive way to manage a data centre.

For data centre managers to redeem greater financial benefits and higher efficiency, ML and AI must be carefully infused with right data centre tools. This means that data centre managers must watch the AI and ML space carefully as they try to distinguish better approaches to improve traditional data centres.

Here again, a smart PDU proposition offers an edge clubbed with ML solutions. Data centre managers can effectively allocate resources when provided with insights to better manage power distribution, energy saving, and ensuring reduced server crashes.

For that, it is essential to accurately identify opportunities for improvement, analyse risks and implement solutions before the next evolution cycle takes place.

How the data centre evolved to suit modern needs and new technology - YourStory

The Evolution of Contract Law in the Age of Technology – Lexology

There is an old saying, to err is human. But what about machines? Is humanity imposing double standards on artificial intelligence?

Introduction

COVID-19 has wreaked havoc of magnitude proportion across the globe, not even machines had been spared of its ramifications.

This is exemplified by an incident back in April 2020 when traders attempted to sell off Mays oil future contracts which resulted in a futures oil prices nosedive into negative digits (Note: these are crude oil we are speaking of, so normal consumers will have little use for such oil you cannot store it in your backyard either).

On 20 April 2020, the price of West Texas Intermediate futures contracts traded to as low as negative $40.32 per barrel.

Dangers of Machine Reliance

Investors trading on the algorithmic trading platform Interactive Brokers were among those who took a major hit that day, but for a slightly unusual and peculiar reason.

In a nutshell, the brokerage firms platform was NOT programmed to trade on negative price. Its users mistakenly placed and were consequently locked up with positive bids while the price went below zero with insufficient equity in their accounts to satisfy the maintenance margin. The technical blip had caused Interactive Brokers to suffer US$88Million as it accepted responsibility for any loss suffered by its users while futures price went negative.

This costly oversight raises an interesting issue on how the law allocates loss occasioned by erroneously executed automated contracts.

But under existing laws, should Interactive Brokers be obliged to accept responsibility?

The Singaporean Decision

In the B2C2 Ltd v Quoine Pte Ltd [2019] SGHC(I) 03, [2020] SGCA(I) 02 the question of machine liability was explored by the Singaporean Courts.

Quoine operates an algorithmic virtual currencies trading platform (Platform) programmed to place and close orders without human intervention. B2C2 is an electronic market maker, which trades virtual currencies on exchange platforms with the aid of its algorithmic trading software (Trading Software).

In April 2017, B2C2, through its Trading Software, placed orders on the Platform to sell Ethereum for Bitcoins. As a result of several technical errors on the Platform, it erroneously sold Bitcoins held by its two margin traders (Margin Traders) to B2C2 at a significant undervalue in favour of B2C2 (Transactions). The Platform automatically credited the proceeds of the Transactions to and debited the corresponding Ethereum from B2C2s account. Upon discovery of the error, Quoine reversed the Transactions.

B2C2 commenced proceedings against Quoine at the Singapore International Commercial Court (SICC), claiming reversal of the Transactions amounted to a breach of contract and trust by Quoine, and the matters went to the Singapore Court of Appeal (SGCA).

We will focus on the courts deliberation on the issues of implied term and unilateral mistake.

No Implied Term Allowing Operator to Unravel for Technical Error

The platform agreement between Quoine and B2C2 contains a clause that once the order is completed on the Platform it is irreversible.

The SICC held, and the SGCA concurred, that no terms can be implied allowing Quoine to reverse any transaction whatever the circumstance. It reasoned that the implication of such a term undermined the very certainty that the agreement sought to instil in algorithmic trading on the Platform.

Knowledge in Unilateral Mistake if Computer Programme is Responsible

Quoine argued the Transactions should be void for unilateral mistake on the part of the Margin Traders under common law and equity. To find a unilateral mistake, Quoine must show that there was a fundamental mistake on the terms of the contract and B2C2 in seeking to enforce the Transactions must have knowledge of the mistake.

In the context of algorithmic trading, SICC held that algorithmic programmes have no mind of their own and likened them to a kitchen blender relieving a cook of the manual act of mixing ingredients. Further ruling that the intention or knowledge underlying the mode of operation of a robot or trading software would be that of the person who was responsible for causing it to work in the way it did, in other words, the programmer, at the time when the programme was written.

SICC held that B2C2s programmer who designed the Trading Software did not have actual knowledge (to invoke unilateral mistake under common law), nor constructive knowledge (to invoke unilateral mistake under equity) of such mistaken belief.

The SGCA further found that the Margin Traders were not under a mistaken belief as to the term of the contract, but had mistakenly assumed that the Platform would not fail, which was not an actionable mistake under common law.

The defence of unilateral mistake at common law raised by Quoine therefore fails.

So the question comes again, was Interactive Brokers obliged to accept responsibility under existing laws?

Takeaways

Courts in B2C2 Ltd v Quoine Pte Ltd adopted an incremental approach to develop the law in novel context and confined their legal discussion to deterministic programmes, thus leaving open contracts formed between more sophisticated artificial intelligence which may be said to have a mind of their own.

Given that the law is still at its embryonic stage, institutions and platform operators of algorithmic trading are encouraged to make adequate provisions for risk allocation in the event of technical glitch or abnormal trades in their service contracts, and implement robust monitoring to identify and contain any technical glitch in time. Hong Kong Monetary Authority's recent circular titled Sound risk management practices for algorithmic trading published on 6 March 2020 may provide some helpful guidance.

New dinosaur discovery in Switzerland fills a gap in evolutionary history of sauropods – The Conversation UK

Dinosaurs were the dominant group of animals on Earth for over 150 million years. Long-necked, plant-eating sauropods such as Brontosaurus, Diplodocus and Brachiosaurus are probably among the most famous dinosaurs, in part thanks to their huge size and strange body shape (consisting of a long neck, long tail, round body and columnar limbs). Some of the largest sauropods measured up to 37 metres long.

But less well known is that they descended from much smaller, two-legged, omnivorous or plant-eating creatures called sauropodomorphs. My colleagues and I recently identified a new dinosaur species that represents the oldest known evolutionary step between early sauropodomorphs and sauropods, from about 225 million years ago.

The sauropodomorphs were among the first dinosaurs to exist during the late Triassic period, from about 230 million years ago. During this time, dinosaurs werent yet the dominant group of animals on Earth and had to share the world with, among others, crocodile-like reptiles called phytosaurs and mammal-like reptiles, such as Morganucodon.

Towards the end of the Triassic and in the earliest Jurassic, environmental changes led to the evolution of larger, more immediate predecessors of sauropods. These dinosaurs were larger, had longer necks, ate only plants and, more importantly, walked on all fours due to their size. These transitional species include Pulanesaura from around 190 million years ago in what is now South Africa, and Leonerasaurus from a similar time in what is now South America.

Our new dinosaur, which we have named Schleitheimia, falls into this category. Some of its bones were first found in Switzerland as early as 1915. Others had been found in Hallau, near Zurich, in the 1940s, and others from the same geological layer had been discovered in Schleitheim, also near Zurich, in the 1950s. But for years, these fossils were thought to belong to an earlier, sauropodomorph species.

In 1986, palaeontologist Peter Galton identified this set of fossilised dinosaur remains, kept at the University of Zurich in Switzerland, as belonging to a common sauropodomorph known as Plateosaurus. Plateosaurus had quite a long neck, but did not walk on all fours all the time.

However, when Munich palaeontologist Oliver Rauhut examined the bones more recently, he noticed odd features on them, which made it impossible for them to belong to Plateosaurus. So in 2015, he and I visited the Zurich Palaeontological Museum and examined the bones thoroughly. We discovered several sauropod-like adaptations on the dorsal vertebrae (backbones), the femur (leg bone) and the pelvic or hip area.

All these adaptations suggest the dinosaur was heavier and mainly walked on all fours, so it couldnt be a Plateosaurus. It had to be something else, and indeed, it turned out to be something new.

We ran a phylogenetic analysis, which compares anatomical traits between different animals and calculates how many evolutionary steps are necessary to make them related to one another. This suggested our new dinosaur, Schleitheimia, was actually an intermediate type between sauropodomorphs such as Plateosaurus and true sauropods such as Brontosaurus.

This makes Schleitheimia special in two ways. First, it is a lot older than the other known transitional types of dinosaur between sauropodomorphs and sauropods. And second, it is the first transitional form known from Europe.

What is even more interesting, is that some of the Schleitheimia fossils were found in the same quarry as an actual Plateosaurus. This means that both the ancestral sauropodomorphs and the transitional forms shared the same habitat for a time. Eventually, however, the true sauropods took over the environment.

Perhaps their size and longer necks helped them forage for food, we arent sure. But what we do know is that by the early Jurassic period, around 170 million years ago, sauropods were already living around the world from China to Argentina. Schleitheimia provides one more piece of the puzzle as to what happened in the sauropods very early history on Earth.

The next steps here will be to look at other material from roughly the same age from Switzerland. The original, historic pit where Schleitheimia was found, has been reopened to see whether there is more material.

We want to know if there were more intermediate sauropodiforms around, such as Schleitheimia, or just more sauropodomorphs? And how did the early sauropods diversify and spread out in the early Jurassic? The fact that we can still find new dinosaur species, even in historical museum collections, gives us hope of answering these questions.

New dinosaur discovery in Switzerland fills a gap in evolutionary history of sauropods - The Conversation UK

The real stumbling block in Arsenal’s evolution is there to see – Football365.com

Its always like this. When a new cycle begins, theres always this betwixt and between period when a team teases its future. Arsenal are there at the moment. Theyre in a something good, something bad world, with two fantastic performances against Liverpool and Manchester City to follow that bizarre loss to Tottenham, and now another ugly setback.

At Villa Park they reverted. The kind way to describe the Trezeguet goal which won the game would be to praise the strike. The fairer observation, however, would be to note how he was able to loiter alone at the back of the box. And then how easily the ball reached him. And then just how much time and space he had to volley his side into a lead that they would never really look like losing.

It was dispiriting in being such an obvious step back. Arsenal defended outstandingly well at Wembley. They had this defiant spirit to them in the FA Cup semi-final a palpable determination not to allow their concentration to waiver. On Tuesday night, that new resolve seemed like it had been illusory. The mistakes were back, so were the gaps and the chances given up.

But this is the way of things and it probably will be for a while. That isnt to say that a brighter dawn is definitely on its way, but that those clubs that have been led into a new era have always suffered through this kind of scenario to get there. Pochettinos Spurs, Guardiolas City, Klopps Liverpool; read through the early chapters of those tales to find the same inconsistency and the same calls back to what made revolution necessary in the first place.

Generally speaking, thats been because those coaches didnt just inherit a muddle on the pitch, but imbalanced squads with critical shortages. On this evidence, Arteta is very much in the same position.

Stylistically, this was a different challenge to the previous two games. Being able to sit deep and snap onto the counter-attack is a virtue, but trying to break down a more cautious opponent is another matter entirely. As during that game at White Hart Lane, Arsenal played with plenty of the ball 64% in the first half but without really creating opportunities. Or even situations from which opportunities may develop.

Its suggestive of where they are in their evolution. The improvements that Arteta has instituted are still dependent on certain conditions to be relevant, and thats because he remains short of the players needed to cure that problem. Arsenal have pace up front and in wide positions, but they still lack credible balance in midfield and, as this evening showed, their defenders can only be relied upon when the mood takes them. Theyre an attractive team round the edges, but brittle and limited where it counts.

That showed on Tuesday night in a few different ways. Firstly, in Villa looking more dangerous than they have for many, many weeks. Secondly, in Jack Grealish doing more or less as he wished with the ball at his feet and giving his best performance of 2020. And, finally, in Arteta being able to send out Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Alexandre Lacazette and later Nicolas Pepe against the Premier Leagues second-worst defence statistically, but not getting a shot on target in return.

Its instructive, because that tranche of issues shows where the problems lie. Most importantly, it demonstrates how little creativity there is in this side. For all their hold on possession, in the absence of Mesut Ozil there isnt an Arsenal player capable of using it to find a clever angle or a dangerous pass.

That doesnt seem like a coaching point, either. Its not a problem which can be cured on the training ground or by convincing players to think or act in a different way. Instead, it requires a different set of attributes. Either Arsenal import someone capable of unlocking the heavy doors in a low block, or Artetas improvements are going to be limited in their effect. The passing will have a certain rhythm, but it wont necessarily go anywhere.

The defence is the defence and the midfield is the midfield. Those are tired issues which have needed a solution for years. But the lack of a playmaker will be the real stumbling block here; if it continues to be so, it will also separate what Arsenal are from what Arteta is trying to turn them into. And what a waste that would be.

There are excuses, because Saturdays game was probably a draining experience and Arsenal rotated in response to that. This was also an excellent, committed Villa performance which got what it deserved and was long overdue. Dean Smith got his approach right and among others Grealish, Tyrone Mings and Douglas Luiz were all excellent.

Still, in the subtext lies a pre-emptive message for those above and around Arteta: either hes given what he needs to convert this early promise to something more permanent, or these types of evenings will become more common.

Larson Sparking An Evolution In Sprint Car Racing – SPEED SPORT

PORT ROYAL, Pa. Toting his HANS device and a look of frustration, Brent Marks stormed out of his car and into his massive hauler, through the glass sliding doors in the very back.

He and crew chief Barry Jackson went into debrief, a confidential conversation on what they couldve possibly deployed to fight back and not become the latest victim of a Kyle Larson victory attack.

Honestly, I dont know, Marks said after finishing second to Larson on Saturday in night one of the Bob Weikert Memorial at Port Royal Speedway. We were just as fast. He was just able to work his way around me.

Were really good right now and its a little frustrating.

This is, quite simply, a snippet of the aftermath over these last few weeks in central Pennsylvania.

On the very weekend that happens to honor legendary car owner Weikert, as well as his storied drivers like Doug Wolfgang, Larson and Paul Silva are pressuring teams to evolve, or at least act similarly to what Weikert and Wolfgang did all those years ago.

While the paths are incomparable, the streaks and win percentages are. In 1985, Weikert and Wolfgang won 53 races together in more than 100 races, with some guy named Davey Brown as crew chief.

On Saturday night, with a pair of Weikert trophies in hand, Larson won his 19th race in his past 32 starts. Thats roughly 50 percent versus 59 percent, with Larson as the latter.

Larsons doled plenty of exhilaration and headaches since his first stop in Pennsylvania on June 24, and Marks hasnt been the only one left vexed in this wake.

On Friday at Williams Grove Speedway, Anthony Macri had everything go his way until Larson rushed in like a bat out of hell. Two weeks before that, Larson started his Pennsylvania Speedweek title runaway by blitzing Freddie Rahmer at Grandview, his home track, prompting Rahmers accomplished father to say, Son, you need to match that.

Larson then denied Lance Dewease of win No. 100 at Williams Grove, flipping the script for his first victory at the speedway. He capped it all off by bettering one of the Posses finest in Danny Dietrich by 323 points in the final Pennsylvania Speedweek standings.

I watched Doug Wolfgang come in and changed the way people did things, Fred Rahmer said in a recent phone interview. Now, style wise, it looks to me like Kyle Larson is doing it again.

Weikert, Wolfgang, and Brown forged their place in sprint car racing royalty through unmatched grit and their revolutionary mechanical approach.

Larson, however, is as distant as one could be from having such knowledge.

While Silva and crew toil away at the race car in between on-track moments, Larson sits inside the trailer, on a bench behind one of the black cabinets, hunched over and watching maintenance from afar.

Hes not burdened with the knowledge of what it takes to fix the car if its not right, Fred Rahmer said. He just finds a way to drive it.

In a way, its probably one of the reasons behind this dominant run, that Larson has simply made do with what hes been given.

Wolfgang, according to his mechanic Davey Brown, built everything and anything behind Weikerts race shop walls, often housed with cars that were lighter than most and engines more powerful than any other team around.

We were just ahead of everyone else, Brown said. But Kyle, I wish he wouldve stayed in NASCAR.

Brown laughed, and then carried on with his assessment.

Hes hard to beat, he said. Hes a heck of a driver. Theres nobody that cant be beat, but well have to try a little harder. Everyones trying harder to catch him, I guess.

Thirty some years later, after competitors relentlessly chased Brown, Weikert, and Wolfgang, everyone else, including Brown in a way, is now chasing Larson and Silva in an age where sprint cars seem so equal to one another.

Its pretty impressive when in a time people say, You cant have a dominant car, Fred Rahmer said. Yeah, well somebody tell him. Hopefully a group of us will learn from it.

Evolution Gaming Reports Positive H1 2020 Results European Gaming Industry News – European Gaming Industry News

Reading Time: 3 minutes

Evolution Gaming has reported positive H1 2020 results. The companys operating revenue increased 48% year-on-year to 243.5 million during H1.

EBITDA also increased by 85% to 145.3 million, corresponding to a margin of 59.7% (47,7), while profit for the period amounted to 124,6 million (63,1) and earnings per share amounted to 0.69 (0.35).

During the second quarter, operating revenues increased by 50% to 128.3 million (85,7), EBITDA increased by 90% to 81,1 million (42,7), corresponding to a margin of 63,2% (49,8). Profit for the period amounted to 70,4 million (34,5) and earnings per share amounted to 0.39 (0.19).

Evolution CEO Martin Carlesund said: The strong development for Evolution continued during the second quarter. The quarter has been eventful with several product launches and a very high demand, partly due to the lack of sports betting games through a large part of the period, but we also see strong underlying growth. At the end of June, we announced a recommended offer to the shareholders of NetEnt with the aim to expand Evolutions offering with market-leading slots and to continue towards our vision to become the global leading provider of online casino.

Revenues for the second quarter amounted to EUR 128.3 million (85.7), an increase of 50 percent compared to the corresponding period last year. EBITDA amounted to EUR 81.1 (42.7) with a margin of 63 percent. The margin has been positively affected by high demand and that we have operated fewer tables due to the pandemic. However, the lower number of tables has had a negative effect on revenue both through lower fees from our dedicated environments and through lower capacity than normal. For the January-June period, the margin was 60 percent, meaning we have a good distance to our previous prediction of improving the margin level this year compared to 2019.

Evolutions vision is to become the leading B2B provider in online casino. An acquisition of NetEnt means that we can accelerate the pace towards this vision. To add NetEnts leading slots to Evolutions strong Live Casino offering will create a very strong market position significantly faster, especially in the USA, and together with clear synergies we believe this to be a strategic and highly attractive acquisition. A future Evolution with two verticals as the foundation will increase cash flow and reduce risk, while the growth potential increases. The bid process continues according to the previously announced time schedule.

During 2020, Evolution has continued and strengthened its focus on products and innovation. Our ability to develop new unique games while at the same time creating new variants of traditional games is important to further strengthen our leading position in Live Casino. So far, we have launched 8 out of the 12 games that we will launch this year. After the end of the quarter, we launched another one Crazy Time which is the most expensive and time-consuming game that we have developed to date. The reactions were instant, and we are overwhelmed by the positive reception among both players and operators.

All new titles, especially in the Game Show category, contribute to a generally higher interest in Live Casino. To meet the increasing demand, it is vital that we continue to expand our studio capacity. Our Pennsylvania studio will be our 9th studio. Upcoming additions include a studio in Michigan and an English speaking studio in Lithuania.

During the quarter we signed an agreement with Golden Nugget that will see Evolutions US Live Casino services to be added to their existing online offering in New Jersey. The agreement consolidates Evolutions leading position in New Jersey, while also providing a strategic platform to explore additional opportunities together with Golden Nugget in other states as the regulation of online casino in the USA continues.

It has been an intense first half of the year impacted by Covid-19, which has entailed here-and-now problem solving. Since a few months back, we have a more stable virus situation and we have been able to devote more time to look forward while also preparing Evolution for a possible future second wave or similar pandemics. We are now working intensively with next years product launches and how Evolution will play a role in the continued digitalisation of the casino industry. I believe that our focus on the best game experiences and a relentless approach to always improve as a company will continue to be important pieces as we move ahead. We shall become slightly better each day, and every day shall take Evolution another step forward.

Republican State Board of Education candidates on the issues: Teaching evolution in schools – Shawnee Mission Post

Last month, we asked our readers what issues they wanted to hear the candidates running for office address ahead of this summers primary elections. Based on the input we received, we developed three-item questionnaire for Republican candidates running for the Kansas State Board of Education.

Well be publishing the candidates responses to one item per day each day this week. Today were publishing the candidates responses to item three:

Should evolution be taught in Kansas public schools? Why or why not?

Evolution should be taught in Kansas public schools. Understanding evolution is a critical part of preparing students for the scientific challenges that await them. We need look no further than the current COVID pandemic to underscore the need for future scientists and researchers.

Issues of creationism and evolution have a rich and interesting history with the Kansas State Board of Education. However, the controversy of this topic has lessened as more of us understand that evolution and religion are not mutually exclusive. It is a false dichotomy to suggest those who teach and support evolution in public education are not faith-based people. In fact, when I talk with my colleagues in the science division at JCCC, the majority are people of faith, holding strong religious beliefs and values. It is of the utmost importance that we prepare Kansas students in the STEM areas (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) and that they be prepared for post-secondary education as well as for jobs in the marketplace. That cannot happen without a foundational understanding of the natural world around them. Furthermore, removing the teaching of evidence-based science in the public school classroom will negatively impact our ability to attract and retain skilled workers and businesses.

The evolution of how Marvel animated Iron Man – Insider – INSIDER

Following is a transcript of the video.

Narrator: If you look at Iron Man's first suit, the Mark 1, and compare it to the hero's nanotech suit from "Avengers: Endgame," a lot has changed.

But it's not just the technology in the world of the MCU. Animation tech has evolved in our world, the real world, to make this suit possible on the big screen, something that Marvel couldn't have dreamed of creating just 11 years earlier.

To get from here to here required a decade of innovation, 10 Marvel movies, and a lot of work on movies with no superhero in sight.

Let's start where Tony Stark's story began: in that cave in 2008's "Iron Man." In this scene, Tony Stark is a man in a giant metal suit trying to escape a cave. So what better way to make it seem real than by using a real man in a real metal suit?

"Iron Man" director Jon Favreau is known for pushing the envelope with his projects like "The Lion King" and "The Mandalorian." But back then, he wasn't confident that CGI could convincingly create a full Iron Man suit. So they went practical. For that first bulky cave suit, he enlisted the help of the legendary Stan Winston Studio, now called Legacy Effects, to make this 90-pound version of the Mark 1 with epoxy armor shells, flexible urethane, leather, and aluminum. And for the project, Winston's team perfected a metallic chrome paint that would be used for other projects years down the road.

But the film had to rely on CGI for this section of the scene, because the practical suit was just too large for either Robert Downey Jr. or his stunt double to move around in. That left the challenge of creating the first digital Iron Man suit audiences would see up to The Embassy in Vancouver.

Their accomplishment wouldn't have been possible without the practical work from Stan Winston's studio. They modeled the digital suit closely after the real suit, even going so far as getting pieces of that real suit flown to Canada for reference. The digital version was so detailed that it even captures these text markings and textures.

And to create a realistic metallic reflection, The Embassy used the knowledge they learned from working on car commercials to influence how they shaded the digital version of the suit.

Winston Helgason: We learned a lot about car paint, about clear coat, how light plays on cars, how they react to their environment, which, they're essentially mirrors of their environment.

Narrator: But that was just the Mark 1. The Mark 2 would have to be sleeker and more refined and have a polished coat that would accurately reflect light like the night sky in this scene.

Once again, Favreau had Stan Winston create a real version of this suit, but what you're looking at here is completely computer generated. Just like with the Mark 1, FX studio Industrial Light & Magic, ILM for short, used that practical version of the suit as the basis for its digital version. ILM was so successful that when Favreau saw it, he couldn't tell the difference between the real and the fake.

Ben Snow: And we showed it to Jon and the Marvel team, and they're like, "OK, well, which bits did you replace?" And we're like, "Actually, we replaced all of it." [laughs]

Narrator: Without this early work in the first "Iron Man," which convinced the filmmakers and the world of what VFX could do, the wild world of Marvel as we know it might not exist.

Thor: No! [exploding]

Narrator: But the true test of the CGI would come with the Mark 3, Iron Man's most recognizable look. This had to be perfect for the film to work and resonate with fans. ILM wanted to prove both that they could make the CGI character move the right way and that his metal armor matched the personality of Tony Stark.

ILM had worked with shiny car surfaces in 2007's "Transformers," which ultimately helped them nail down the outer layer of the Mark 3. They made the suit look more like a glossy sports car than industrial metal, as Marvel initially planned.

Ben: We ended up saying, you know what? It's Tony Stark. He's a playboy. You know, he's rich. He's not gonna have an industrial-forklift-type suit. He's gonna want a sports-car suit.

Narrator: The basic design was based on Marvel comic-book artist Adi Granov's Iron Man illustrations. But one of the biggest challenges with replicating this 2D suit in real life was that the comic version was designed with heroic proportions that don't match real human beings. So they tweaked the model to be shaped as if a real human being were inside, something they would later decide to change.

Ben: But when it came to Iron Man, we tried to be very, like, oh, no, a real guy could fit in this suit, and the real mechanism between the suit and the guy is there. Now, the guy would have to be extremely thin to really fit into it.

Narrator: At the onset of "Iron Man 2," motion-capture technology had really advanced, which made it possible for them to use a combination of practical and CGI suits.

Various practical versions of the Mark 3 suit were built by Stan Winston's team, which could be worn in pieces based on which parts of Robert Downey Jr. were seen on camera at the time. The rest of his body was often covered in a motion-capture suit, which would be filled in later with CG suit pieces. This would help his performance, since he didn't have to struggle under the bulk and weight of the full suit.

ILM used its custom motion-capture technology, called IMoCap, which they had fine-tuned in 2003's "Pirates of the Caribbean," to animate the CG parts of the suit. Since Robert Downey Jr.'s head wasn't animated, it had to match up perfectly, or else it would look wobbly and disjointed.

In several of the films, Robert Downey Jr. often just wore these shoulder pads, or what they called a football suit. These shots required a lot of CGI cleanup on the spaces in between, like his neck and joints.

VFX artists really advanced the motion tracking in "Iron Man 2," and you can see a good example of that here in this Japanese garden scene. The actors only wore partial helmets and tracking suits. The rest of their suits are CGI. And in this particular scene, ILM didn't even need to use a tracking suit at all. They built the CGI suit right around Robert Downey Jr., who was only wearing a tuxedo.

This took a lot of time and effort to get right, but it ultimately set the bar for future films in terms of what they could animate without mo-cap suits.

Another major improvement from the first film in "Iron Man 2" was the shading, or how the suit was lit. ILM started using image-based lighting tools they developed from their work on 2009's "Terminator Salvation" to light the suit and make it look more realistic. This process involved taking high-res pictures of the environment and using those as a guide to more accurately and easily light the suit. This ultimately helped Iron Man look even better, allowing them more time to focus on the finer details.

Ben: It meant that we were able to speed up our process and spend a lot more time making things creatively look good instead of, you know, just like, oh, is it even looking real or not?

Narrator: Not only did the animation evolve as the VFX technology advanced, but each new film also posed new challenges for animators based on the story. For instance, when it came to 2012's "The Avengers," it was the script that pushed how the character would be designed and animated. Instead of hand thrusters, Iron Man would get a rocket pack attached to the back of his suit, which allowed the design team leeway to develop new poses for the character while freeing up the hero's hands.

Or take a look at this sequence, known internally as the car-wash scene. Because of this brand new way Marvel writers envisioned how Tony's suit would attach to him, animators for the first time had to figure out how the inside of Iron Man's suit would function, which none of the VFX studios Marvel worked with had to think much about before.

Jeff White: We had to build a lot of new interior pieces, kind of figure out, like, what the interior tech of the suit would look like as it joined together.

Narrator: This was particularly challenging, since he's walking the entire time while de-suiting, a first in the series. ILM had to create models for each piece of the suit and track them individually with his movement.

And take a look at this battle scene with Thor in the mountaintop. Notice all of the blue light? The minor detail caused a major headache with animators at Weta Digital when it came to coloring Iron Man's suit.

Marvel maintains a strict color bible, which keeps track of the exact hues that are supposed to be used across the various films. The brushed-gold surface here was based on Weta Digital's work on the One Ring in "Lord of the Rings," and they were able to recreate this color fairly easily. But the red, on the other hand...

Guy Williams: It's actually a red clear coat, which means that the red pigment itself actually has density. And on top of that, there's actually little metal shavings suspended in that dense paint.

Narrator: Which can cause problems when you mix in light from the environment. In this case, the red and blue made purple.

Guy: You know, one of the first things we ran into back then was that you take a suit like that and put a blue light on it, and it starts to give you weird colors. It starts to wanna go really burgundy, you know, sort of a mulberry color very fast.

Narrator: Balancing the color would end up being much easier and faster in the later films, as Weta developed new advanced rendering technology that worked with various wavelengths of light. And this, as was the case with ILM and its shading technology, would make the suit look better overall.

Guy: We spent a lot of time trying to make that car paint look just that little bit cooler or trying to make the lighting work a little bit better, and not just trying to get rid of weird shadows or weird colors.

Narrator: While the earlier films mostly focused on the movements of one individual suit, "Iron Man 3" introduced a whole slew of new suits, about 20 in a single scene that each had to be animated in different ways.

Typically, to animate Iron Man, they would use what's called a puppet. And there's a limited number of ways this puppet can move. So Weta developed new tools for its animators to use to alter the rig of the puppet to increase the freedom of movement so each suit could have more character and style.

Guy: We rejigged the entire process to allow the animator to go in and take the high-resolution suit and just, you know, like with an X-Acto knife, he cut on different planes, and cut different parts of it out and put hinges on them on the fly, so that he could actually, you know, the animator could define how the suit grew.

Narrator: One of the challenges that comes with more freedom of movement, however, is making sure Iron Man's metal plates don't run into each other and figuring out where all the pieces go when he does a simple motion like raising his arm.

Alexis Wajsbrot: I think the main challenge we had on "Iron Man 3" was the shoulders. He had huge, huge shoulder pad.

Narrator: But it wasn't just these major battle scenes that were difficult. They often had to also spend time figuring out how he moved in more mundane scenarios. We saw for the first time in "Iron Man 3" scenes where he is doing these very non-heroic actions, like giving a massage or simply sitting on a couch. It's easier to hide any errors and subtleties in a cloud of dust or debris, according to ILM. When he isn't fighting someone, every detail is right out there in the open.

"Iron Man 3" also had Tony Stark reacting and performing along with the suit assembly for the first time, a step up from the walking car-wash scene in "The Avengers," as Marvel wanted an even more advanced look to the tech. This was especially difficult, according to VFX studio Trixter, since they had to combine rigid metal pieces and flexible human body parts while making it all look seamless. 24 separate parts were first disguised as what Trixter calls "amorphous, mystery slick pieces of technology, alien to any distinguishable suit parts." Each would then transform into the familiar suit pieces as they flew towards him.

As the series evolved from using practical effects in "Iron Man" to a mix of practical and CGI to mostly CGI in later films, suddenly the suit, which was originally tweaked to be more human, would now be tweaked to be more heroic again. We first saw subtle changes in "The Avengers" with his legs.

Guy: Little, little fact that a lot of people probably don't know: Iron Man's legs are longer than a human's legs.

Narrator: His ankle would also have to be a mere inch and a half across inside the suit. Iron Man was also slimmed down a bit in "Avengers: Age of Ultron" to give him more of a comic superhero silhouette.

Ben: A slightly tighter waist. That sort of thing. A little beefy around the shoulders.

Narrator: But the suit evolved yet again in the last two films, forcing the animators to evolve as well and take a whole different approach to how the suit would build and move. Tony Stark was now using nanotechnology, so instead of moving around and tracking solid pieces like they did with the car-wash scene and the scene in his workshop, they had to establish a whole new process for his suit assembly.

Nanotech involves multiple layers of simulations. A liquid-metal simulation would morph to the target shape, because they wanted the transformation to feel organic. But they had to make sure it still felt rigid and that it did not stretch like Spider-Man's suit would. The animators relied on accurate shading, a technique used throughout the franchise, to accomplish this.

Sean Walker: The main visual trickery is that through the shading, we, it looked like metal every single time.

Narrator: Robert Downey Jr. reportedly came up with the idea of having Tony Stark's sweat suit tighten before the armor shell appears, similar to Spider-Man's suit, which you can see here. Because it would be difficult for the material to form a shell around loose clothing. If you look closely, octagonal shapes attach together to form the outer layer, while an inner layer of tech and circuitry builds beneath it.

Framestore actually created this multilayer effect using animation tools from its work on 2015's "Poltergeist."

For "Endgame," this nanotech suit evolved slightly to be a bit more rigid, with pieces locking into place, more like the suit we saw in "Captain America: Civil War."

Sean: We took the lessons that we learned from "Infinity War" and applied it to "Endgame." So it was the same technology really, but we just had a better handle on it, really.

Narrator: While Iron Man's death was the last time we would see the nanotech suit, this wouldn't be the last time we saw Iron Man, as Marvel's innovation continued for his one final cameo in "Spider-Man: Far From Home."

This suit was also created by Framestore, and it was actually based on the suit in "Captain America: Civil War" because it was more solid looking than the nanotech suit in "Avengers: Endgame."

To make this suit, they took the same "Civil War" model and literally broke it down, destroyed it, and created the insides, which consisted of various wires and circuit boards, using an early scene in "Age of Ultron" as inspiration.

There's more detail in the top half of the suit because more of that is shown up-close on camera. And to achieve the undead look, first they added the signature metallic sheen of Iron Man, and then they added the layers of dirt and rust.

Alexis: To be fair, the suit is almost not recognizable by the end of the process.

Narrator: So after 11 years of development to perfect Iron Man's CGI suit, it ultimately was destroyed.

By using advancements in 3D-modeling and motion tracking, experimenting with new lighting techniques, and using realistic-looking practical models as a base, they were able to create something that continually felt fresh, futuristic, and real as it evolved in the story.

Guy: It wasn't like anybody had thought that a person could wear a suit of powered armor and it would look anything other than like a guy in old knight armor wobbling around on a set. He's so crafted on so many levels. There's so much thought that goes into every little panel that moves, that you're intrigued, and you're compelled to keep watching him and find out what's gonna happen.

Random Meditations Through Her 1000 Names (XVII): The Eyebrows Which Trigger Evolution And Involution Of Worlds – Swarajya

As the form of the Goddess arises in the inner fire pit of the yogi, her eyebrows become visible. Sri Lalita Sahasranama calls her eyebrows the gateway arches to the house of Kamaraja - the lord of kama: Vadanasmara-mangalya-grihatoranachillika.

The term used to describe the eyebrows of the Goddess is torana. Torana is etymologically 'tura-tvarana - a transitional passing from one space to another - a gateway.

Here, when Kama does auspicious activities then the eyebrows of the Goddess becomes the gateway for his household.

Throughout Sri Lalita Sahasranama, there is an emphasis on Kamadeva. The very foundational Puranic context of Sri Lalita marrying Shiva as Kameshwara, and fighting against Bhandasura, assumes significance here.

Bhandasura himself was born of the ashes of Kama when Shiva burnt the deva of desire with his third eye. It would be the graceful eyes of the Goddess that would resurrect the burnt Kama.

As Anna Subramaniyam states - the desire towards the lower aspects gets burnt by Shiva. The desire for liberation then resurrects by the grace of the Goddess.

So, when Sri Lalita Sahasranama speaks of kama, it provides meaning not only at the level of poetic aesthetics but also at cosmological level and at the plane of inner yogic-psychology.

Her face arouses the desire of Shiva. That is auspicious for all existence. And in arousing that divine desire of Shiva, it is the face that is the field of operation for Kamadeva. Then, her eyebrows become the torana - the arches signifying the gateway.

This Puranic, poetic description also contains in it another significant dimension related to the very existence of all the universes. The famous Nasadiya Sukta of Rig Veda (X.129) points to the primal role of Kama in creation :

"That seed primordial born of the Mind, That Desire then arose in the beginning. The wise seers searching their hearts through intuition realized that the relation between that which is and which is not".

The importance of this kama and the development of this aspect throughout the Puranic lore of Sanatana Dharma is brought out clearly by Stella Kramrisch, one of those rare Western Indologists from the Coomaraswamy-Tagore school of Hindu studies :

The ‘real stumbling block’ in Arsenal’s evolution is there to see – Football365.com

Its always like this. When a new cycle begins, theres always this betwixt and between period when a team teases its future. Arsenal are there at the moment. Theyre in a something good, something bad world, with two fantastic performances against Liverpool and Manchester City to follow that bizarre loss to Tottenham, and now another ugly setback.

At Villa Park they reverted. The kind way to describe the Trezeguets goal which won the game would be to praise the strike. The fairer observation, however, would be to note how he was able to loiter alone at the back of the box. And then how easily the ball reached him. And then just how much time and space he had to volley his side into a lead that they would never really look like losing.

It was dispiriting in being such an obvious step back. Arsenal defended outstandingly well at Wembley. They had this defiant spirit to them in the FA Cup semi-final a palpable determination not to allow their concentration to waiver. On Tuesday night, that new resolve seemed like it had been illusory. The mistakes were back, so were the gaps and the chances given up.

But this is the way of things and it probably will be for a while. That isnt to say that a brighter dawn is definitely on its way, but that those clubs that have been led into a new era have always suffered through this kind of scenario to get there. Pochettinos Spurs, Guardiolas City, Klopps Liverpool; read through the early chapters of those tales to find the same inconsistency and the same calls back to what made revolution necessary in the first place.

Generally speaking, thats been because those coaches didnt just inherit a muddle on the pitch, but imbalanced squads with critical shortages. On this evidence, Arteta is very much in the same position.

Stylistically, this was a different challenge to the previous two games. Being able to sit deep and snap onto the counter-attack is a virtue, but trying to break down a more cautious opponent is another matter entirely. As during that game at White Hart Lane, Arsenal played with plenty of the ball 64% in the first half but without really creating opportunities. Or even situations from which opportunities may develop.

Its suggestive of where they are in their evolution. The improvements that Arteta has instituted are still dependent on certain conditions to be relevant, and thats because he remains short of the players needed to cure that problem. Arsenal have pace up front and in wide positions, but they still lack credible balance in midfield and, as this evening showed, their defenders can only be relied upon when the mood takes them. Theyre an attractive team round the edges, but brittle and limited where it counts.

That showed tonight in a few different ways. Firstly, in Villa looking more dangerous than they have for many, many weeks. Secondly, in Jack Grealish doing more or less as he wished with the ball at his feet and giving his best performance of 2020. And, finally, in Arteta being able to send out Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Alexandre Lacazette and later Nicolas Pepe against the Premier Leagues second-worst defence statistically, but not getting a shot on target in return.

Its instructive, because that tranche of issues shows where the problems lie. Most importantly, it demonstrates how little creativity there is in this side. For all their hold on possession, in the absence of Mesut Ozil there isnt an Arsenal player capable of using it to find a clever angle or a dangerous pass.

That doesnt seem like a coaching point, either. Its not a problem which can be cured on the training ground or by convincing players to think or act in a different way. Instead, it requires a different set of attributes. Either Arsenal import someone capable of unlocking the heavy doors in a low block, or Artetas improvements are going to be limited in their effect. The passing will have a certain rhythm, but it wont necessarily go anywhere.

The defence is the defence and the midfield is the midfield. Those are tired issues which have needed a solution for years. But the lack of a playmaker will be the real stumbling block here; if it continues to be so, it will also separate what Arsenal are from what Arteta is trying to turn them into. And what a waste that would be.

There are excuses, because Saturdays game was probably a draining experience and Arsenal rotated in response to that. This was also an excellent, committed Villa performance which got what it deserved and was long overdue. Dean Smith got his approach right and among others Grealish, Mings and Douglas Luiz were all excellent.

Still, in the subtext lies a pre-emptive message for those above and around Arteta: either hes given what he needs to convert this early promise to something more permanent, or these types of evenings will become more common.

Evolution Of Law For Protecting The Rights Of The Secured Lenders Journey From Suit Proceedings To Corporate Insolvency Resolution Process -…

To print this article, all you need is to be registered or login on Mondaq.com.

Prior to the advent of the Recovery of Debts Due to Banks andFinancial Institutions Act, 1993 (RDDB&FI Act), now known asRecovery of Debts and Bankruptcy Act (RDB Act'), theonly remedy available to a creditor was to approach a civil courtfor recovery of its dues and for enforcement of security. Suchcivil proceedings were either in the nature of an ordinary suit ora summary suit or a mortgage suit, as the case maybe. With an everincreasing burden of cases before the civil courts, a need was feltto introduce a law that would come to the rescue of Banks andFinancial Institutions to ensure disposal of lenders' casesexpeditiously by a Tribunal exclusively dealing with such matters.The Narasimham Committee deemed it essential to introduce andformulate specialized Tribunals for recoveries of debts due toBanks and Financial Institutions. The Committee recommended thatestablishment of specialized Tribunals is vital to the successfulimplementation of the financial sector reforms. The NarasimhamCommittee Report was further strengthened by the recommendationsmade by the Tiwari Committee Report, which also recommended theestablishment of specialized Tribunals. In view of theaforementioned reports, the RDDB&FI Act was promulgated in theyear 1993.

The RDDB&FI Act was introduced as a measure for expeditiousadjudication and recovery of debts due to Banks and FinancialInstitutions. With the introduction of the said Act, it wasbelieved that the huge pendency of the cases filed on behalf ofBanks and Financial Institutions will be tackled effectively. Itwas also assumed that secured creditors will be able to realizetheir debts by sale of assets charged by the Borrowers to the Banksand Financial Institutions. However, soon it was realized by thelaw-makers that the RDDB&FI Act did not prove to be very usefulfor the secured creditors in so far as taking over physicalpossession of a mortgaged asset and its sale, were not specificallyprovided for in the RDDB&FI Act. The procedure to be adoptedfor possession and sale of a secured asset related back to theprovisions of the Transfer of Property Act, 18821 (TPA')and thus, did not aid the cause of the secured creditors.

Accordingly, the Securitisation and Reconstruction of FinancialAssets and Enforcement of Security Interest Act, 2002(SARFAESI Act') came to be introduced. The SARFAESIAct aimed at providing measures to Banks and Financial Institutionsto take over the possession and management of a secured assetwithout intervention of a court of law. The provisions of theSARFAESI Act aimed at realizing long-term assets, manage problem ofliquidity, asset liability mismatches and to improve recovery byexercising powers to take possession of securities, sell the sameand to reduce non-performing assets by adopting measures forrecovery or reconstruction.

As the SARFAESI Act came for the direct benefit of the securedcreditor, the vires of the Act came to be challenged2 on thegrounds that the Act allows the Banks/ Financial Institutions toact in an arbitrary and unfair manner. However, the Hon'bleSupreme Court of India upheld the validity of the SARFAESI Act andexplained that the Act provides for issuance of a statutorynotice3 which provides for a time frame tothe borrower/ guarantor to respond and raise objections to themeasures proposed by the Bank/ Financial Institution. The SupremeCourt also observed that it is mandatory for a Bank/ FinancialInstitution to deal4 with the response/ objections ofthe borrower/ guarantor before proceeding ahead. Thus, a borrower/guarantor gets reasonable opportunity to raise objections. Further,Section 17 of the SARFAESI Act also empowers a borrower/ guarantor/any other aggrieved person to approach the concerned DRTchallenging the action of the Bank/ Financial Institution. Thus,there is no scope of arbitrariness. The Supreme Court also heldthat classification of an account as a non-performing asset is noton the whims and fancies of the Bank/ Financial Institution andthat there is a proper mechanism in place for the same.

In view of the aforementioned scenario and law, it becameabundantly clear that for a Bank/ Financial Institution there aretwo mechanisms - Firstly, by way of initiating proceedings foradjudication of debt and recovery of debt under the provisions ofthe RDDB&FI Act and secondly, by way of enforcing the securityinterest under the provisions of the SARFAESI Act. With theavailability of these two measures came another question, i.e.,whether a Bank/Financial Institution could take measures under theprovision of both the Acts simultaneously. The issue was answeredby the Hon'ble Supreme Court in the affirmative5. Thus,it can be easily stated that a secured creditor could initiateaction under both the Acts simultaneously if it deemednecessary.

With a change in circumstances and with surmounting debts byvarious companies and individuals, the need was again felt for alaw that could consolidate and amend the laws relating toreorganisation and insolvency resolution of corporate persons,partnership firms and individuals in a time bound manner formaximisation of asset values of such persons and to promoteentrepreneurship. Accordingly, the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code,2016 (IBC) was introduced.

The IBC is based on the premise that any creditor6 towhom a debt is due by a Corporate Person can initiate a CorporateInsolvency Resolution Process (CIRP') against suchDebtor by filing an appropriate Application/ Petition. In thepresent article we will be dealing with the provisions of IBC thatrelate to the Corporate Debtor alone as certain provisions relatingto personal insolvency are yet to be notified. A secured creditorhas been defined7 to include a creditor in favour ofwhom a security interest is created. A question that may come toone's mind is that what would be a right of a securedcreditor in case of initiation of a CIRP.

Firstly, it is imperative to point out that on initiation ofCIRP, an Interim Resolution Professional (IRP') takesover the management and control over the assets of the CorporateDebtor. Subsequently, with the consent of the Committee ofCreditors (CoC'), IRP may be appointed as a ResolutionProfessional (RP'). Now it becomes the duty of RP tomanage the affairs of a Corporate Debtor as a going concern. The RPis duty bound to call for Resolution Plans which get approved aftera consensus of not less than 66 percent of the CoC members. If aResolution Plan gets approved (firstly by CoC and thereafter by theAdjudicating Authority), the terms of the said Plan will beimplemented. The secured creditor or any other creditor will bepaid only as per the approved terms of the Resolution Plan asprovided under Section 53 of IBC. However, in case no ResolutionPlan gets approved, the ultimate result is liquidation.

During the process of liquidation of a Corporate Debtor, it isthe right of a secured creditor to either relinquish its rightstowards the security interest or to realise its security interestin a manner prescribed.8 In the event, a secured creditorrelinquishes its security interest, the said asset would form partof the Liquidation Estate and the proceeds thereof will bedistributed as per law. However, if a secured creditor retains itsright to realize its security interest, it will be incumbent on thesecured creditor to prove to the satisfaction of the liquidator itssecurity interest and only that portion will be allowed to be soldon which the secured creditor proves its claim.9 In case, a securedcreditor does not inform the liquidator about its intention torealize the security interest within a period of 30 days from theliquidation commencement date, the assets covered under thesecurity interest shall be presumed to be part of the liquidationestate10. Further, the secured creditorwould also be required to pay to the liquidator within 90 days theamount of its share for the Insolvency Resolution Process Cost andliquidation cost11

It is also the duty of the secured creditor who has proceeded toenforce its security interest to pay to the liquidator the amountsreceived in excess of its admitted claim12 within 180 daysfrom the liquidation commencement date.13 It is alsopertinent to point out here that IBC provides for enforcement ofsecurity interest by only one secured creditor over the asset.After enforcement of right by one secured creditor, no othersecured creditor can enforce its rights subsequently forrealization of the amount for the same secured assets, as theexcess amount is deposited with the liquidator14. Thus, from theaforementioned, it is amply clear that a special recognition isaccorded to a secured creditor under the provisions of IBC andopportunity (in case of liquidation) is afforded to the securedcreditor to enforce its security interest. However, the same is notwithout fetters.

Having explained the rights of a secured creditor under theprovisions of IBC, it would also not be impertinent to mention thatthe process provided under IBC is not for recovery of debt or forenforcement of security interest but for resolution of insolvency.However, it would also not be out of place to mention that lawsincluding IBC recognize the importance of a security interest andthus, efforts have been made by the legislature to give recognitionto the rights of a secured creditor to enforce a security interest,whether the same is done under the provisions of the SARFAESI Actor under IBC.

Evolution Of Law For Protecting The Rights Of The Secured Lenders Journey From Suit Proceedings To Corporate Insolvency Resolution Process -...

Looking at the evolution of girls sports – Press News

My mom was an athlete among a family of athletes (her dad and two of her brothers were division I college football players). Growing up, she spent endless hours at the park competing with the neighborhood kids in a variety of games. But going to high school in the early 1960s, her school sports options were limited to being a cheerleader (which she chose over being majorette) and gym class. When they played basketball in Phys Ed., she was chosen to play the position of rover, which meant she could play on both ends of the court. To avoid overexertion, her teammates were restricted to one end: offense or defense.

Girls sports have exploded since those dark ages of a half century ago, thanks to the Title IX of the Education Amendments Act of 1972, a federal law that states: "No person in the United States shall, on the basis of sex, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any education program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance."

I interviewed area high school girls head coaches.

QUESTION #1: What sport(s) did you play in high school?

SANDY VALLEY SOFTBALL COACH CORTNEY GEIGER (2009 Sandy Valley graduate): I played volleyball (setter), basketball, and softball (second base). My senior softball season was the first year Sandy Valley had ever made it to the state Final Four.

CARROLLTON BASKETBALL COACH CHANDRA MYERS (2005 Garaway graduate): Volleyball (middle hitter), basketball, and track (discus, and was a shot put state placer).

TUSCARAWAS CENTRAL CATHOLIC VOLLEYBALL COACH KRISTEN TRIVOLI (2000 Tusky Valley graduate): Volleyball (middle hitter) and basketball.

DOVER SOCCER COACH ANGIE PINION (2000 Reynoldsburg graduate): Once I got to high school, I only played soccer (right mid or right defender). I played for the school in the fall and played club in the spring.

NEW PHILADELPHIA VOLLEYBALL COACH CARLA PRY (1988 Canton McKinley graduate): I was a setter on the volleyball team and I swam in high school (freestyle, 100, 200, 500, relays), and went on to swim in college.

DOVER VOLLEYBALL COACH BETH MATHEWS (1987 Carrollton graduate): I played volleyball (my position changed each year depending on what the team needed), I was a forward on the basketball team, and pitcher on the softball team.

TUSKY VALLEY GIRLS AND BOYS CROSS COUNTRY AND TRACK COACH SANDY DEBOS (1984 Tusky Valley graduate): I had a wonderful childhood with wonderful parents (and two older brothers), and was in every sport and lesson imaginable from piano lessons, baton, dance, gymnastics, basketball, cross country, and track. I was outside all the time, and did not see most Disney movies until I had kids of my own. In high school, I ran cross country, played basketball for a few years, ran track from the 400 up and was on the gymnastics team all year (which was not a school sport).

DOVER BOYS & GIRLS SWIM COACH BRENDA WHERLEY (1983 Dover graduate): I swam on the Y swim team, Dover did not have a high school team yet.

QUESTION #2: What has been a good change/evolution for girls athletics in general since you were in high school?

COACH TRIVOLI: I think girls have more opportunities to excel in athletics.

COACH WHERLEY: A very positive change for girls athletics since I was in high school is the variety of sports now available to girls. Such a great opportunity for girls to be involved in many different sports.

COACH MATHEWS: The evolution of girls athletics has changed dramatically since the 80s. The equity of opportunities and facilities/equipment has been dramatic. I can remember wearing old warm-ups the boys team no longer wanted for basketball and one softball season we did not play one home game because maintenance could not get the field ready on those days. Those inequalities would not fly in todays world. Today, girls are respected for choosing to get involved in athletics without stereotypical labels being attached. They are fierce competitors and passionate about their sports.

COACH PINION: I think the support for girls athletics has increased since I was in school. I love seeing the large student section at our big games. Once people come to a game who are not as familiar with soccer, let alone girls soccer, are surprised at the fast pace, skill, and aggressiveness of our team.

COACH GEIGER: A good change that I have seen in girls athletics is that female athletes are slowly becoming more recognized and supported for their talents. It would take a team making a good run during tournaments before the stands would be filled at an event. Although the stands arent filled during all regular season games, teams and individuals are receiving more recognition.

COACH PRY: A good change for girls sports is that their skills have improved such a great deal, that the public seems to be more willing to come and watch. The recognition by fans and the public that girls sports is competitive and exciting to be part of. Girls are now being recognized for their athleticism and accomplishments that they have earned.

COACH DEBOS: Tusky Valley has always been great as far as female athletics go. I think the biggest change in my sport is strength training. The kids are strength training more than they used to because they see the benefits that it provides even to distance runners. The stronger they are, the faster they will be and the fewer injuries they will have. Obviously Title IX has been great for female athletics, especially with the COVID-19 and many of the college sports being discontinued.

MACS THOUGHTS:

* Many of us that graduated in the 1980s can relate to Coach DeBos childhood of being outside all the time, and we somehow survived without cellphones to connect us to our parents. Like her, I was periodically stuck inside for tortuous piano lessons!

* Girls have vastly more opportunities nowadays. Many high schools like mine didnt have softball until the mid-1980s, and soccer until the mid-1990s or later, which are now two of the most popular girls youth sports.

* I am sure many female athletes of past generations can greatly relate to the second-class treatment that Coach Mathews described.

* Both the perception and recognition of girls sports has vastly improved over the decades. Coach Pry brought up an important result of this growth: "Young girls now have many athletic role models that they can look up to and emulate."

QUESTION #3: What car you drove during your senior year?

COACH GEIGER: I drove my parents 2005 Dodge Ram.

COACH MYERS: 1999 Oldsmobile Intrigue

COACH KRISTEN: I drove a Geo Metro which had a hole in the floor board, so I got wet when it rained.

COACH PINION: I drove a 1992 Acura Integra.

COACH PRY: I was driving my parents car during my senior year of high school! I always tell my students that most of them would be horrified in todays day and age, but I rode the bus to school until I graduated. With four kids in our family, no way they had enough money to have cars for the kids:) I was either driving a blue station wagon or a Ford Taurus.

COACH MATHEWS: I saved my money to buy a blue Subaru Brat with the rear facing jump seats my senior year. Prior to that I drove my moms orange Chevette.

COACH DEBOS: I drove a tan Ford Granada with a crank sunroof. When I first got it, the tire fell off as I was driving and rolled down the road in front of me.

COACH WHERLEY: I drove my parents car, a 1976 Oldsmobile Cutlass 88, which I am proud to say I passed my drivers test in that boat!

QUESTION #4: What has been a good change to your sport since you were in high school?

COACH TRIVOLI: The addition of the rally scoring has really picked up the intensity and speed of the game

COACH MATHEWS: The change from side out scoring to rally scoring has to be the biggest change volleyball has seen during my tenure. It has really put pressure on players with a point being awarded on every rally regardless of who served. It has made the game more fast-paced and exciting.

COACH PRY: When I played in high school your team could only score when you served, we played best of 3 sets to 15, there were no net serves and there was no libero. So our rules now are rally scoring, where a team can score each play is a good change, it speeds the game up. I like the libero; this helps with the defensive side of the game since the hitters seem to be getting taller and much more powerful since I played a very long time ago! Our sport has sped up tremendously over the past 20 years, it is a very fun sport to watch.

COACH PINION: I think the variety of formations teams play now in high school has changed in the last 20 years.

COACH GEIGER: The game has sped up so much and the talent of the athletes, compared to when I was in high school, seems to have excelled. More girls are participating in travel and summer ball, fall ball and even indoor leagues throughout the winter. All of these opportunities to play allow the girls to continue to compete and work harder even when they are out of the regular season.

COACH DEBOS: In cross country, we just have meets on Saturdays, which gives us the whole week to have some good workouts so that we can improve a lot and peak at the end of the season. When I was in school, we had meets during the week and on weekends. We really couldnt train properly. Cross Country was only 2.5 miles for the first year or two of my high school career. Now it is 3.1 miles (5k). In track they just added the 3200 and 300 hurdles for females my senior year.

COACH MYERS: The sport is ever-evolving, but being able to have (individual off-season) workouts, with up to four players at a time like the colleges do, was a nice change.

COACH WHERLEY: Currently, training is much more technique focused. Instead of swimming as many yards as possible, now the goal is to work on stroke technique. We coach by swimming a lot of drill sets as opposed to just completing as many laps as possible.

MACS THOUGHTS:

* I could write an entire series just on those car stories! Coach Trivolis tale of wet feet is a very old-school problem. My dad had the same issue back in the 1960s. Coach Mathews was cruising in some serious sweet rides! Google search a Subaru Brat and see what I mean. Coach DeBos educated me on both a crank sunroof (have todays kids even seen a crank car window?) and how to drive on three wheels. Coach Wherleys ride surely cornered like a battleship. And Coach Pry probably channeled Molly Ringwald in Sixteen Candles during her bus rides home.

* More than probably any other sport, volleyball has had the most radical overhaul. The OHSAA changed from traditional side-out scoring to rally scoring in 2004, when the libero position was also introduced. Oversimplified, a libero is a defensive and passing specialist who wears a different colored jersey, and substitutes into the back row.

* Among the different sports, theres a common theme of a greater focus on skill and technique development. I am sure Coach Wherley would likely echo Coach DeBos description of designing workouts throughout the year to have athletes peak in the post-season.

QUESTION #5: What music did you listen to during your senior year in high school?

COACH WHERLEY: I am a huge Jimmy Buffett fan and I also enjoyed listening to Phil Collins, Def Leppard, Duran Duran, and A-Ha.

COACH DEBOS: The Go-Gos, Michael Jackson, John Denver, the Bee Gees.

COACH PRY: I was a huge U2 and Journey fan. Phil Collins also was a favorite.

COACH MATHEWS: Bon Jovi, Van Halen and maybe some Madonna.

COACH TRIVOLI: I listened to everything but country.

COACH PINION: I listened to mostly Top 40 and was just starting to listen to country music.

COACH MYERS: I listened to country mainly, but also listened to pop and classic rock.

COACH GEIGER: I listened to whatever was popular on the radio, mostly country and pop music, or whatever was on the burnt CD one of my friends made for me. At that time, iPod were just beginning to come out and take over the MP3 players.

QUESTION #6: What is a way that your sport has changed for the worseor something you miss as to how your sport was played--since you were in high school?

COACH TRIVOLI: I dont know that there is anything thats made it worse, but I was pretty bummed out when they changed the block the serve rule right before I went to college.

COACH PINION: The worst rule change is the change in the off-sides rule.

COACH MATHEWS: Although I think the evolution of volleyball has changed for the better, if I had to pick one area I would say that some of the sloppy contact of the ball that is now legal on some contacts has changed the game for the worse.

COACH DEBOS: They get too hung up on what the kids are wearing as far as clothing and watches during races, but they are getting better. And kids are not as active as they used to be.

COACH WHERLEY: The only thing I "missed" was not getting the opportunity to compete for Dover High School since it was strictly a YMCA team. And, there were no "fast suits/tech suits" to compete in. Nor did we practice using goggles.

COACH GEIGER: Although the sport has changed over the years, what I miss most about it was the amount of girls we had on the team. So many people wanted to be involved with sports and be a part of a team. Nowadays in some places/schools, there are barely enough girls to fill a varsity team. As a three-sport athlete I lived for my sports. It was what I loved about school, which is why I have a hard time wrapping my head around the lack of participation by students in some extracurriculars.

COACH MYERS: I guess I would have to say that sometimes the athletes are more focused on AAU.

COACH PRY: Just the evolution of travel ball in general for most sports is something that has changed a great deal since I played in high school, and I think that prevents many athletes from being multi-sport athletes in todays age. The expectation of kids playing the same sport 9-10 months out of the year is too much, but it is what is expected and is done by many of todays athletes. Also the time in the summer that every sport has with their athletes is a lot more than when I was in high school. I feel the kids and parents are used to it now, but we ask a great deal of our athletes that I wish we could pull back on a little.

MACS THOUGHTS:

* Want clear evidence that old-school music is much better than the tunes of this new millennium? Notice that each of my four fellow 1980s graduates gave the names of specific artists, all of which were music legendsother than A-Ha (sorry coach Wherley, but I will give you bonus points for giving Jimmy Buffett a shout-out). The four coaches that graduated this century only mentioned general music genres, which indicates to me the lack of elite, memorable talent of this modern music era.

* Coach Mathews complaint of the allowance of sloppy contact of the ball reminds me of a erosions of fundamentals point made by Garaway coach Terry Rowe in my recent boys basketball series, where he pointed out the greater allowance for palming the ball and traveling.

* Coach DeBos and Coach Wherley both mentioned what clothing and other items that athletes can and cannot wear today. Related to that, I do feel that some rules prohibiting/allowing certain equipment can put a serious financial burden on todays athletes to keep up with competitors. When I played high school baseball, I just used a bat from team bat bag (usually a 33-30 Easton Black Magic). Nowadays, baseball and softball players buy their own bats, and many feel the need to spend $300 to $500 on elite bats to maximize their performance. The same can be said of various equipment in other sports.

* The lack of participation and the detriments of specialization were mentioned by several coaches, and are clearly connected. Few schools have freshmen teams any more, and many struggle to field JV teams because of low participation numbers. Coach Geiger said that she "lived for my sports. It was what I loved about school." Echoing Coach Geigers words, I was also three-sport high school athlete (like my three siblings) because loved playing sports. Unfortunately for many of todays competitors, the heavy burdens and demands have turned that love into burn out. Many even drop out by middle school age because they cant even find a team that have a reasonable time demands. In many sports, you either make the enormous time and financial commitment to a travel team, or fade from the sport. Local rec teams, for the most part, have become extinct.

QUESTION #7: What job did you have around your senior year?

COACH TRIVOLI: I worked as a waitress at the Atwood Lighthouse

COACH PINION: I worked at a bakery in Pickerington. The owner did a great job working with my school and soccer schedule.

COACH GEIGER: After I graduated, I worked for the Sandy Valley Community Pool as a receptionist.

COACH MATHEWS: During the summer, I worked at the courthouse in Carrollton for the appraisal company doing the county re-appraisal. We drew out property sketches on cards, checked square footage of buildings, and features of each home.

COACH DEBOS: I worked at Burfields picking strawberries, taught gymnastics classes at the YMCA, and worked at cross country and track camps at Malone the summer before my freshman year of college.

COACH MYERS: I played three sports, but did chores on the family farm. Since I was on a full athletic scholarship to Ohio University, I had to report to college/summer school in July for classes and workouts right after my senior year.

COACH WHERLEY: Lifeguard at the Dover Pool the summer after my senior year of high school.

COACH PRY: I was a swimmer, so I was a lifeguard during the summer, and also during the year at CT Branin Natatorium.

QUESTION #8: What is a rule change that you would like to enact for your sport for the future?

COACH TRIVOLI: If a serve hits the net and bounces over, it is an automatic side out (serve goes to the other team).

COACH MATHEWS: I would like for the governing bodies of different organizations to come together and agree upon one set of rules across the board. I feel it is confusing for players and coaches to cross over between National Federation rules, which OHSAA follows, and USAVB rules which are followed in club volleyball. There are differences in net violation/center line rules, re-toss for serve, number of substitutions permitted per set, even the score sheet is different for both. That being said, overall I like how volleyball has evolved over the years and continues to grow.

COACH PINION: I would like to reverse the current off-sides rule back to how it originally was.

COACH GEIGER: One change that I would like to see happen in softball and any sport would be to allow coaches to have more coaching time with their players in the off-season. It is difficult to make progress when coaches are only allowed to work with small groups of girls at a time. Being able to work with the team as a whole builds not just on talent, but on their chemistry with one another as well.

COACH DEBOS: I think the rule in track that no one gets a false start stinks. Even in the Olympics, the field gets one false start per event. They are seasoned athletes and get a second chance. High school kids are just learning and should also get a second chance.

COACH WHERLEY: Currently, you can compete in a maximum of two individual events and/or three relays. I would change the rule so you are able to compete in three individual events maximum.

COACH PRY: I would love to see the OHSAA step in and place a mandatory time off in the summer for all sports to allow a week to shut down and give the athletes a break. Along the same lines, I would love to see travel ball being limited, so the athletes could have a little more time off for recovery. I realize these things will not happen, but one can dream!

MACS THOUGHTS:

* Concerning summer jobs, I am give Coach Myers the gold medal. For a city kid like me, doing chores means unloading the dishwasher, sweeping the living room, or folding laundry. Farm chores are a completely different story. One time when I stayed overnight at a farm buddys house, I woke up around 8 am and the house was empty. I eventually found the kids out in the field picking up rocks.

* Coach Mathews gets the silver medal for tackling such a mentally challenging job, while Coach DeBos gets the bronze for her diverse portfolio of occupations. And when Coach Pinion now smells a freshly baked item, is she entranced or repulsed?

* Coach Geiger brings up an interesting point about the off-season workouts. Some sports allow for full squad camp days, while others only allow for small group skill sessions.

* Coach Pry echos overload concerns that were mentioned by some football and boys basketball coaches that I interviewed earlier this summer. As Indian Valley football coach Matt Lancaster shared, his school district has a mandatory two-week break during the summer around the Fourth of July. The OHSAA should mandate a similar dead period for all sports to give athletes, coaches, and their families a needed break.

* I am sure all of these women could point to role models from their pastcoaches, teammates, siblings, parents,...that inspired them to pursue a career in coaching. Their selfless mentorship on our young athletes of today is helping to develop our female leaders of tomorrow both in and out of the sports world.

Carol Truemner has lived the evolution of small town life

SEBEWAING -- If a person wanted to know something about Sebewaing, they may go to the mayor or to someone in the chamber of commerce.

On the other hand, they may ask someone who has lived in town for many years, such as Carol Truemner whom has resided in the area her entire life.

Carol (Reithel) was born in the early 1940s, and she was raised on a small farm on the outskirts of Sebewaing. She is the daughter of Ralph and Meta Reithel, and her parents' owned a farm located next to the present day USA School property.

Truemner graduated from Sebewaing High School in 1960, later married Rodney Truemner and raised her two children.

In the 1960s Sebewaing was a larger town back then, and it had many more stores than today. Truemner remembers the town had a couple bakeries, two large grocery stores and a meat market. In addition, there were several small grocery/convenience stores in town. There were also five car dealerships, clothing stores, a hat shop and Normans. The town had four barber shops and several bars. At that time, the town boasted it was home to the famous Sebewaing Brewery. Unfortunately, the brewery closed in the 1960s.

The town was home to three large industrial companies and a couple smaller ones. The factories employed large numbers of area residents.

As they began to close, the population dwindled and young adults couldn't find employment locally so they were forced to leave town to find jobs.

Truemner has high hopes for the future of Sebewaing.

In fact, she thinks things are already turning around and are beginning to show improvement. She said improvement must start with a joint effort of residents and entrepreneurs.

Researchers call for support for BIPOC in ecology and evolutionary biology – UBC Faculty of Science

Michelle Tseng, UBC zoologist. Photo: UBC.

Recently, a group of researchers from five different institutions collaborated on a commentary piece inNature Ecology & Evolution, outlining strategies and support for Black, Indigenous, and people of colour (BIPOC) in ecology and evolutionary biology.

In this Q&A, we speak with lead author Michelle Tseng, an assistant professor in the botany and zoology departments at UBC, and co-author Diane Srivastava, a professor in the zoology department at UBC, about why they felt this commentary was needed, and what life is like for BIPOC working in the sciences.

Michelle Tseng:I personally find it difficult to be the only person of colour in group meetings, in conferences, or in other academic settings.I worried that undergraduates, graduate students, postdoctoral fellows and other early career researchers in my field were being discouraged from pursuing studies in ecology and evolutionary biology (EEB) because the field has so little diversity.

I wondered if other BIPOC in ecology and evolutionary biology felt the same way as I did, and I was interested in the tools theyve used to navigate our racially homogeneous field. Ive met more people of colour working in EEB since we started writing the commentary and I wish we could have included so many more voices.

Diane Srivastava:We actually started drafting this piece before George Floyds death and the recent Black Lives Matter protests, but these events certainly put wind in our sails. We felt that there had been a lot of attention paid to how to combat systemic racism in academia, but this was largely geared to a default-white audience. No one was actually talking to Black, Indigenous or people of colour about how to survive in the system, and we knew that this type of advice had to come from other BIPOC researchers. I think, for many of us, we were writing a letter to our younger selves.

MT:Christian Coopers incident open peoples eyes to what BIPOC doing fieldwork face on a daily (sometimes hourly) basis. Fieldwork is stressful for a number of different reasons already, but for Black and brown ecologists this stress is compounded by racial profiling and/or the fear of potentially getting thrown in jail or deported for just doing your job. Im lucky in that Ive only been stopped by the police onceand probably my own fault as I was using a sledge hammer to smash through a frozen river to look for aquatic insects. On the plus side, the high-profile nature of Mr. Coopers case has led to an outpouring of support for Black scientists, and for Black scientists working in nature. Lets hope that this support isnt just a passing fancy.

DS:Part of the subtext to Amy Coopers reaction to Christian Cooper was that society sees being Black and birdingbut not Black and criminalas incompatible. That was brought home by the outpouring of shared experience during Black Birders Week, which was organized on Twitter shortly after that incident. I remember being stopped twice by police in Britain when I was searching for insects at the base of trees, once because a passerby reported me as suspicious. It is tiring to always deal with other peoples assumptions of our likely careers, and their surprise when they discover we study ecology or evolution. It is also tiring to be assumed by our white peers to be an expert on racism in academia by virtue of our sample size of one experience. I think many of us felt exhausted by this burden during the recent surge of anti-racism discussion in academia.

MT:A stronger sense of belonging, more role models, and mentoring may help both with recruiting and retaining BIPOC in EEB. I think we need to take a long, hard look at the written and unwritten policies that we now use to recruit and retain people in our field, and we need to dissect whether these policies are discriminating against certain groups of people.

DS:We need to start working at all stages of the pipeline, starting in K-12. In the university system, we need to support BIPOC undergrads to gain mentorship and research experience in ecology and evolution labs. We need to actively recruit under-represented minorities as graduate students and postdocs, and we need to provide mechanisms to retain our talented BIPOC faculty. In Canada, we are well behind the U.S. in routinely collecting data on race and Indigenous status. We need to start documenting racial disparities in academia so we can actually monitor our progress. Finally, I think we need to start thinking about the intersections of many different forms of marginalization, rather than focusing just on silos of race or gender.

MT:Most institutionalized policies have been created by the predominantly white majority. To speak out against racist policies is to speak out against the those who hold the most power. It is risky and emotionally taxing to pit yourself against the majority group because this is the same group that is reviewing your papers and grants. BIPOC achieve scientific excellence despite academic and everyday racism. It is also often BIPOC who are leading the charge to dismantle these very same policies. I have so much respect for the manyoften Black, Indigenous, femalevoices who are unapologetically aggressive about bringing these issues to the forefront. They are doing so much of the heavy lifting here and often bearing the brunt of the backlash.

DS:Fish that are always swimming upstream get tired. If you dont easily fit in to a straight, white, male culture, then not only do you have to work that much harder, but you also are often excluded from the informal networks that manydominant-culture academics develop to support each other.

MT:My experience is only with ecology and evolutionary biology. I would say that if you are passionate, that thirst for knowledge and bottomless curiosity can help you to overcome a lot of these barriers. I will also be cautiously optimistic here and say that we may be seeing actual change happeningsadly on the backs of those who are no longer here to see this change. There does seem to be a real drive to make science, and EEB, more equitable.

DS:Id tell them: go for it! There are more and more of us all the time, and the more there are, the easier it is going to get. I am optimistic that there are many creative initiatives out there that should start to make a difference. A lot of BIPOC researchers are currently cheering on Scott Edwards, a Harvard professor who studies the evolution of birds, who is cycling across the U.S. with a Black Lives Matter sign, raising money for diversity initiatives in evolutionary biology. Just like I want to see Central Park flooded with Black birders, I would like to walk into an ecology and evolution department and see the same mix of people that I see getting on the bus every day.

It is also tiring to be assumed by our white peers to be an expert on racism in academia by virtue of our sample size of one experience. I think many of us felt exhausted by this burden during the recent surge of anti-racism discussion in academia.

The Restaurant of the Future 2.0: Off-Premises, Simplification, and the Evolution of Dine-In – FSR magazine

Operators need to adapt now so that in their future they can exceed customer expectations, drive projected revenue, and keep costs in line.

We have taken our original Restaurant of the Future diagram and made some new adaptations. These predictions continue to evolve from our experience, insights and forward thinking view. There is, no right or wrong and there are only ideas for everyone to use to conceptualize what their Restaurant of Future will be, both short and long-term.

The Menu of the Future

The menu of the future will need to follow the new behaviors that consumers have adopted during COVID. Restaurant patrons want what they wantNOT what the restaurant wants to sell them. Bloated menus that try to be everything to everyone will not be successful moving forward.

If you cannot execute a menu item, do not sell it. If it does not travel well, do not offer it.

Restaurants need to understand what their go-to items are. Those are the perceived comfort food items that their customers are craving. Doing variations of those items is a great way to innovate and expand your menu. Family meals and bundles are a natural adjunct to promoting these go to items.

You May Not Have All the Answers

No doubt running a successful restaurant or supplier business was complicated before COVID. You do not have to have all the answers. It starts with an open mind and the willingness to listen to others who have ideas that can support industry leaders with the tweaks necessary to be successful in the evolving new normal. Collaboration and seeking help from trusted partners and suppliers makes good business sense.

Simplification becomes the new rallying cry for restaurants

Contact Kinetic12 to learn more about our Restaurant of the Future Scorecard which quickly highlight the areas in your business that Must Change, Should Change and Can Wait.

THE RESTAURANT OF THE FUTURE 2.0

Here are 10 key Focus Areas of our updated Restaurant of the Future:

Flexibility

The Restaurant of the Future will require flexibility within the whole footprint of the space. Things will change over the course of the life of the restaurant and operators will need to be prepared for that.

Flexible Kitchens. Kitchens, in the future, will be designed to execute a quality, properly sized menu that is innovative and can be serviced by most employees in the restaurant. Totally scratch cooking will become more focused on RTI (ready to innovate) ingredients that are quality, scratch starters that turn into fabulous, flexible recipes. Kitchens will be modular which will allow for stations to close during certain dayparts as well as be totally replaced (i.e., burritos to stir fry) as necessary with the cost of the change primarily being in the equipment.

Flexible Seating. Social distancing will continue to remain a factor and operators will want to maximize the capacity of their dining rooms. Flexible barriers made of a material, similar to movie screens, that can adjust up or down as needed can take a table of eight down to four 2s or any combination. Safety for the customer will be accomplished and maximizing revenue for the operator will as well.

Flexible Everything.Before anything is bolted to the floor, the operator must be confident that no changes will ever happen. It is essential to build for today but be ready for tomorrow. If you are nimble and can adjust and will avoid the down time that many operators faced when COVID started.

Off-Premises and Portability

Off-premises will continue to grow as a percentage of overall sales. Operators should embrace this change and not fight it. For many restaurants, off-premises became a defensive posture to generate any revenue they could. What they learned is that their consumers have embraced this as an option. It is not meant to replace dine-in, but instead provide quality options to increase frequency. Off-premises has evolved from take-out to a plethora of options to fit each consumers specific desires. The Restaurant of the Future will have more than one of these off-premise option:

To execute off-premises effectively, the menu items will need to be portable, which combines the right food and the right packaging. Serving below standards food for off-premises dining is a stop gap and ultimately only those who flawlessly execute will be able to maintain and grow this business. The size of the off-premises menu should be sufficient to satisfy customers cravings, but at the same time be simple enough to execute flawlessly.

Hands Free/Frictionless

Consumers, operators and suppliers are all pivoting and will continue to pivot as the new normal evolves. It starts with the customer having the options to get what they want, when they want it without concern for their safety. Self-serve anything may be a concern for the consumer and touchless everything will result in some added costs for the operator, but better efficiencies will reduce costs. Touchless self-serve beverages, condiments, doors, trash, ordering/payment, and much more are here and evolving. The restaurant of the future will require this. Manufacturer partners will be working hard to support this new touchless phenomenon if they want to be part of the solution.

Technology

The Restaurant of the Future will require technology to make the customer experience safer, faster, and more efficient. The Restaurant of the Future will not have anyone taking orders or payment. The customer will have options to choose what they want, when they want it and then how to pay for it.

APP and Website Improvement.Setting up your APP or website with the ability for customers to order and pay from home or anywhere else provides convenience, speed and efficiency and higher average checks for the operator.

3D Cameras added to Kiosks.Touchscreen kiosks will become no-touch kiosks by adding facial recognition enabled by 3D cameras.

Kiosks with QR Codes and/or NFC chips. Another possible option for frictionless ordering and payment is to add QR codes or chips to download menus with no touch.

Voice Activation.The Restaurant of the Future will use voice activation for placing and paying for orders as well as controlling kitchen equipment.

Simplification/Differentiation/Innovation

There will be no value in complexity in the Restaurant of the Future. Setting up systems, menus and processes that are simplified is the foundation moving forward. Differentiating will be crucial to success and keeping it simple and continuing to innovate will be the key to being different.

Simplification. Trying to be everything to everybody is a recipe for failure. Menu development for instance may be driven by defensive moves triggered by competition. Keeping menus simple will result in SKU reduction and from that less ordering, storage, production, waste, and most important, less mediocre menu items going to your guests. The Restaurant of the Future requires efficiencies to maximize sales and keep costs in line.

Differentiation. Why does a customer come to a given restaurant or brand? Once that is understood everything else will fall in line. Taking emotion out of decisions and focusing on the customer increases the potential of success exponentially. The idea of being better has no merit and is strictly personal. Differentiation defines a brand and it may be the small details that a customer identifies with.

Innovation. Great operators and suppliers innovate, but innovation does not have to be complex. It starts with variations on what your customers view as your go to products. Collaboration between partners will drive greater innovation with bold products being incorporated into multiple menu items.
