Why vendor financial models matter for route planning viability
Most distribution companies keep their route planning solution for 15 – 20 years before replacing it. Today, more so than ever before, within that timeframe businesses, industries, economies and technologies undergo significant change.

Six big issues for business and climate change
We've come a long way since the first Climate Change and Business Conference in 2004. Back then the conference was small, and the content dominated by arguments about the veracity of the science. That science is now undisputed and the proposition that we are facing an “existential threat” has shifted from hyperbole to harsh reality. At next month’s conference, the Viaduct Events Centre in Auckland will be full of business professionals whose job it is to address climate change.
Shakespeare's Reception
Before we get to the books, could you tell me what Shakespeare reception is? When I studied English literature at high school in the late 1980s it didn’t come up at all, but when I talk to students now, ‘reception’ seems to be a big thing. The idea of reception comes from Classics. Classical reception is the study of Classical texts not in their own period, but the way that they have been deployed and reinterpreted.

Treat service provision like a developing brain - be reasonable
There’s an inner child wanting to learn and develop better ways of being and better ways of working, As the parent of a young child, I am learning about child development so that I can help my son learn and maybe even learn from him! As I do so, it strikes me that the parallels between the development of the brain and SIAM (or implementation of a service) are, well, striking.

What Hamlet can teach us about Black Lives Matter | Column
Can Hamlet help us? Could anything be more screamingly irrelevant, right now, than a play written 400-plus years ago, by an elite white male about the problems of elite white males? And if Hamlet is irrelevant, is any of the literature of the past useful?
From Mess to Magic, By Gary Taylor
Gary Taylor, a fashion photographer, shares his journey of why sometimes we need to simply jump and believe that the universe will catch you. I do not come from a place of great privilege. My parents did their best and gave me what they could, for which I am grateful. But I’ve always wanted more, and what I wanted most after my college in India, was education abroad. A Masters in Filmmaking from NYU to be more precise.

The moon as metaphor and the poetry of Apollo 11 | Gary Taylor
When we are the ones peering at our planet from the surface of another world — as the Apollo astronauts did — we are standing in the position occupied by those superior aliens in early science fiction. We are the spacefaring species, surveying Earth from above, seeing it whole. Neil Armstrong’s aspirational metaphor of “one giant leap for mankind” captured and encapsulated a once-in-a-planetary-lifetime moment.
The Death of a Dynasty
A couple of weeks ago, at the height of the Duck Dynasty controversy, as conservative evangelicals sparred with both progressive Christians and the secular Left regarding Phil Robertson’s cherry picked hermeneutic, blogger and speaker Shane Blackshear captured the essence of the hullabaloo with one single Tweet. He wrote, “The scariest thing about the #DuckDynasty situation is that it shows how ill equipped American Christians are for a post-Christendom world”.
Getting the right train on the right track
1 May 2019 By Gary Taylor, Senior Executive, Interoperability and Standards.

One of the Office of Rail and Road's (ORR) roles in this process is to provide the final piece of the jigsaw – the authorisation to put the finished product into service.
Naked man asks, 'Taser me, bro,' gets his wish

At one point, after asking to be shot with a deputy's Taser stun gun, Horne was.
Death of an English major
I did not anticipate this death. No one warned me that being chair of an English Department meant that I would have to “manage” the grief, despair and rage caused by the political murder of one of our students. The longer you teach, the more inevitable it becomes that you will have to deal, at some point, with the death of a student — especially if you teach, as I do, in a university with almost 1,200 English majors.

For this globe-trotting Hamlet, all the world’s a stage
He won’t thank me for saying so, but Dominic Dromgoole is probably better at writing prose than directing tragedies, just as Anthony Bourdain writes better than he cooks. You might think of Dromgoole’s new book, “Hamlet Globe to Globe,” as the Shakespearean equivalent of Bourdain’s TV series, “Parts Unknown.” Both offer us irresistible samples of what Dromgoole calls “good eating and gargantuan drinking” with off-kilter characters in out-of-our-way places.
