Veteran astronaut Scott Altman will command the mission, assisted by pilot Gregory Johnson and mission specialists John Grunsfeld, Michael Massimino, Andrew Feustel, Michael Good and Megan McArthur. The seven astronaut team will conduct five spacewalks over the course of 11 days, installing new equipment and fixing older hardware onboard the Hubble. NASA has scheduled STS-125 as the final mission to the telescope, which was launched in 1990. In 2010, NASA hopes to retire its space shuttle fleet, leaving open the possibility that a newer vessel will have to perform further upgrades if officials want to extend the Hubble's lifespan.

Preparing your application to alter your home
The Design Principles provide guidance on design requirements for the two character areas under which property falls. Before making an application it's worth checking which one of the Character Area classifications your home falls under.
Once you know which Character Area your home falls under, familiarise yourself with the relevant Design Principles.
Is your external alteration major or minor in nature?
We've created two application forms. One covers major external alterations and the other minor external alterations.
Alterations that may be deemed major in nature include; balconies, conservatories, extensions, flues/chimneys, frontage hardstandings, garages, loft conversions, outbuildings, porches, roof alterations, satellite dishes over 60cm in diameter and solor/PV panels.
Alterations that may be deemed minor in nature include; door replacements, frontage alterations (including hedges, fencing, gates), replacement windows, re-roofing and satellite dishes under 60cm in diameter.
Once you're ready to apply, download and return the application form with your relevant documentation. Or you can apply online.
Home of Special Interest
A list of Homes of Special Interest has been created and covers some of the earliest homes within Letchworth.
These homes are considered to be of significant historic and architectural merit and as such the Design Principles may be applied differently to ensure changes preserve their special character.
In every case, we always recommend that you contact the team when considering changes to your home. We can offer free advice from the very start, helping you to achieve the changes you desire, whilst maintaining the special character of the world's first Garden City.
You can view a list of the Homes of Special Interest on page 37 of the Heritage Character Area Design Principles.
Do you have any questions?

Spencer Doar
Associate Editor
"In order to have a healthy ecosystem for a new industry you really need four components. One is government involvement/regulatory clarity, two is academic institution involvement, three is trade associations and other advocacy groups and the fourth is the involvement of the startup community and mature institutions."
The state of Illinois has been involved early and often in the cryptocurrency space. In this MarketsWiki Education video, Colleen Sullivan, CEO of CMT Digital, talks about what differentiates Chicago from other cities when it comes to digital assets.

In the short year that the Decibel Geek podcast has existed, some of our more popular episodes have been our Year in Review shows. We have received some great feedback from all over the world about our 1975 and 1983 episodes and this week we head to the 90's as we focus on a truly transitional year in rock music in 1991.
Chris and Aaron are spinning a plethora of their favorite songs from 1991 and you're sure to hear lots of stuff you may have missed while radio stations were shoving Bryan Adams and Amy Grant down your throat. While the glam to grunge overnight transition took place in September with the release of Nirvana's landmark Nevermind album, you'll hear plenty of examples of the wide variety of great music that was being released even before anarchist cheerleaders picked up black pompoms and the janitor got his groove back.
1991 was a crazy year for cannibalism, true and fictional, with Jeffrey Dahmer proving that Aaron Camaro is not the only lunatic from Wisconsin and Anthony Hopkins' strange appetite in Silence of the Lambs.
We also learned in 1991 that Pee Wee Herman likes himself. He...really....really....likes himself. Of course, he went to jail and was ridiculed for something that 99% of the population does and that 1% dude sure is frustrated.
Michael Jordan got us to eat our Wheaties, Madonna pissed of parents of teenage boys everywhere with a "racy" video that is tame by today's standards and there was a TON of great music produced in 1991. You'll hear us yack about all of it this week on the Decibel Geek podcast.

By Dayna Baumann, Control Concepts, Inc.
As the non-stop eventful week came to a close on the last day of InfoComm, I had the opportunity and pleasure to visit the Polycom booth, centrally situated in the North Hall of the show floor of the Las Vegas Convention Center.
My visit was a bit more than a brief encounter with knowledgeable members of the Polycom team, and more of a guided tour throughout the multiple enhanced existing and newer offerings that the manufacturer was proudly exhibiting at this year's conference. I was greeted with a warm, ready welcome by Chris Thorson, Senior Director, Solutions Marketing, and also Michele Marin, Head of Corporate Communications-America's. I was already somewhat familiar with the company and general offerings, but a helpful overview was provided for the sake of leading into what is huge for the company, and a proud-point of discussion for all at Polycom – the Polycom Trio.
It's already recognized that simply put, Polycom is known for unleashing the power of partnership and teamwork within human collaboration. To fortify their own customer service practices along with productivity right down to their customers' meeting room experience – Polycom's meeting space solution simplifies, yet enhances a wider range of user experience. As my AV professional roots reside in the control/software programming side of things, I'm aware that many of our programming for projects within corporations and organizations of all sizes, also contain various collaboration levels and types. From what had to be more of an individualized approach for conferencing based off space size, this solution creates greater flexibility and interface consistency, expanding beyond typical huddle rooms to differing room sizes within one enterprise. Finding a more seamless solution that could stretch across all room sizes has been less accessible, until Polycom's Trio.
I've learned that in a nutshell, Polycom Trio is comprised of an appropriate solution, regardless of room size, for video, voice and content; basically, one smart meeting and collaboration experience. Working with existing principal video CODECs, EagleEye cameras and touch screen, you'll rely on only one sole interface to manage call volume, camera pan/zoom and much more, just as the industry is demanding today. Trio really does provide ease of use stretching across all types of meeting scenarios. Of course, the quality remains high-end too, along with the increased level of productivity gained from saving time as derived from a more simplified experience. From requested higher expectations and feedback per direct clients, Polycom delivered, that is, a solution that means most to those who mean most to Polycom; their users.
What's more, is do you recall another company with some buzz attached to it this InfoComm '18? Zoom, and Zoom Rooms, are gaining impressive momentum in the video conferencing software world. Marrying the two together, it was shared on my tour and with other booth visitors, that Polycom has also launched under the Polycom Trio solution, the New Zoom Rooms Bundles. Here, the Polycom "Smart Conference Phone" is the Zoom controller (including native UI), and serves as a leap forward in a prolific industry partnership. A user can still maintain their popular Zoom Rooms experience with Polycom's leading audio solution and camera performance. As with the Trio accommodating any room size, the Zoom Rooms bundles are also offered in three different choices to satisfy huddle, mid-size and larger spaces. This partnership has hit the nail on the head and created the best of both worlds for Polycom's enterprise users.
Additionally, if you have thoughts about facing security concerns in a more network-centric world, Polycom takes it a step further with an important announcement for its wireless content sharing device Pano – that being a secondary wireless network for receive-only mode (typically, for "visitors" in a meeting scenario) to maintain a higher level of security. Pano also has sharing capabilities for documents, presentations, etc. All bases appear to be covered, right?
Overall, my Polycom booth tour experience was two-fold. It provided a healthier taste for my own knowledge of what Polycom stands and strives for, along with an affirmation of keeping emerging trends in the industry in the forefront of their footprint. I will take back with me what I soaked in and apply it to where my understanding and own contributions to my work and the industry are prevalent. I am thankful for opportunities like these to become better informed about the various influences in our AV industry, and be welcomed to explore another industry family who has an important piece to the current AV puzzle.

By New Worker correspondent
The call to build solidarity with the anti-fascist resistance was renewed at a meeting in London last week called by the New Worker
to discuss the current
situation in Ukraine. Comrades returned to the Cock Tavern in Euston to hear
NCP leader Andy Brooks, Theo Russell (NCP London), Gerry Downing of Socialist
Fight and Marie Lynam of the British Posadists kick off the discussion, which
ranged from the role of the Ukrainian left to the concrete problems facing the
solidarity movement in the Britain today.
|Gerry Downing, Marie Lynam, Theo Russell and Andy Brooks
When the Ukrainian fascists seized power in February 2014 in an imperialist-inspired coup the bourgeois lie-machine went into top gear to call these people "democrats" in order to mask the real nature of the new regime. They were echoed by some self-proclaimed Trotskyists who set up a solidarity campaign that claimed to support the Ukrainian labour movement but largely repeated the anti-Russian hysteria peddled in the bourgeois press to justify NATO support for the fascist regime. But attempts to build a bogus pro-Kiev regime front inside the labour movement have failed, largely due to the work of the Solidarity with the Anti-Fascist Resistance in Ukraine (SARU) campaign and a number of left movements, including the NCP and Socialist Fight.


text: Saucer like object with strobbing lights and lighted figures seen roaming within Fredericksburg Forest trailOn 2/09/2017 I was awakened by a loud sound at approx. 3:15 in the morning. The sound appeared hollow and metalic in nature. It sounded as if air was being blown through a large hollow metal tube.I ran to look out my window in the direction of the sound. My window faces the forest. I was shocked to see an illuminated rectangular shaped object, the top area of this standing rectangular object was arched (almost like a boxed shape of a man); It moved amongst the trees and from time to time the light would go out. I watched in amazement for what seemed like 3 minutes. There was also another object about 20' away from this object. It was Saucer-shaped and had 3 strobing lights around it. It appeared to Hoover about 15' from the ground. I wanted to capture the images of what I was seeing so I ran and got my cell phone and began recording what I saw. I recorded the 2 objects and the sound that I heard that woke me up. My footage is 1 minute 23 seconds long. I stopped recording when the saucer like object flew off in the distance.((NUFORC Note: Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD))

The Collision Analysis & Reconstruction Squad is an on-call unit within the Stamford Police Department. The responsibilities of the squad include the investigation of all serious injury collisions, as well as crashes that are likely to, or do result in a fatality.
The C.A.R.S. unit responds to collision scenes regardless of the time of day or night, and weather. Their function includes determining the sequence of events, the underlying causes and responsibilities, and ultimately to prosecute those responsible in both criminal and civil courts.
There are currently nine (9) members of the squad, which is supervised by a sergeant, who reports to the Assistant Chief of Patrol Operations. Of the 9 members 3 are trained as Reconstructionist, the highest level of training 4 are trained to the Advanced level, and the remaining officers are trained to the At Scene level. In addition, some members of the squad have received advanced training in Pedestrian collisions, Commercial motor vehicle crashes, Motorcycle crashes, and Crash Photography.
In addition to at scene investigative skills the officers of the unit utilize interview and interrogation techniques, search and seizure experience, inclusive of search and arrest warrant applications, and testimony in criminal prosecution as well as civil deposition and testimony.
The officers of the unit are frequently called upon to provide their skills in Operating Under the Influence (OIU) testing and enforcement; collision reduction by speed enforcement (using radar and laser) and truck regulation enforcement. 4 of the senior officers of the unit are Instructors at the Stamford Police Academy in the areas of Collision Investigation; Motor Vehicle Law; OUI Enforcement and the Draeger 7510 breath instrument.

At Tilton, our students live and learn with the faculty and staff, and the advisor shares in a partnership with the student and his or her family. The relationships between students, their parents and their advisor are at the center of the Tilton experience.
The advisor encourages open and honest dialog and provides an effective and engaging means of structure, guidance, and support. Advising encompasses everything from creating a strong academic plan with the Guided Program of Study to navigating the challenges of learning and growing as an adolescent.

I feel supported at Tilton like never before. Whether it's my coach putting in the time to work on my basketball skills individually or a teacher challenging me to express myself in new ways, I know that they put me in the best position to be successful. At Tilton, I feel like I could turn any corner and find someone who cares about my well-being.
The advisor's two main responsibilities are helping a student through all facets of their experience and communicating regularly with parents. The advisor is the primary point person for questions, concerns, or for that extra "Tilton push" to get to the next level. Typically, each faculty advisor works with several advisees and meets with them both individually and regularly as a group. Some meetings will have a scripted agenda requiring completion of a task, while others may be less formal. Advisee groups often dine together and spend time in a social setting.
Home Night, a long-standing tradition at Tilton, is a time for advisors to spend time with advisees in a more relaxed setting, to share a meal, and build relationships. Take a look at an overview of Home Night in the video below.

Russian cargo ship takes fast track to the space station
Sen—Russia's unmanned Progress supply ship launched last night and arrived at the International Space Station at 9.18pm EDT (1.18 GMT, August 2), less than 6 hours after launch.
The established launch to docking profile for the Progress spacecraft is 34 orbits - taking about two days. However, on this occasion a much quicker flight consisting of just four orbits before its rendezvous with the ISS was used to test a fast lane trajectory that may be used on future Soyuz human missions to the station.
The Progress M-16M supply ship was lifted to orbit by a Soyuz-U rocket that launched at 3.35 EDT (19.35 GMT) from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan. The supply ship is carrying nearly 2 tonnes of propellant, as well as oxygen and air, water and 2.8 tonnes of supplies, spare parts and experiment hardware.
Aboard the space station, Commander Gennady Padalka and flight engineers Sergei Revin and Yuri Malenchenko monitored the approach and docking of the cargo freighter. The other three Expedition 32 crew - flight engineers Suni Williams, Joe Acaba and Aki Hoshide - captured the rendezvous on camera.
The mission follows quickly on from the successful delivery of cargo by Japan's HTV-3 spacecraft which berthed with the space station on July 28.
The automated docking, which uses a radar-based system called Kurs, was monitored by the Russian Mission Control Center located just outside Moscow and by the astronauts aboard the space station. The spacecraft docked with the ISS's Pirs docking compartment, replacing another cargo ship, Progress 47, which undocked on Monday 30 July. Progress 47 is still in orbit and will remain so whilst engineering tests are carried out. The craft, which left the ISS loaded with trash - like all cargo ships leaving the ISS - will re-enter the Earth's atmosphere over the Pacific Ocean in a few weeks time.
Whilst the space freighter remains docked it can also be used to "reboost" the space station's orbit by firing its thrusters. This is required from time to time to boost the station's orbit or to maneouvre the ISS out of the path of space debris.
There are now three supply craft at the space station - Europe's third Automated Transfer Vehicle called Edoardo Amaldi, Japan's third HTV called Kounotori and now Russia's Progress 48.
Edoardo Amaldi is scheduled to leave the ISS in September. A further two ATVs are scheduled for 2013 and 2014. Europe provides the ATVs instead of cash as part of its contribution to the running costs of the space station.
In addition to these spacecraft, NASA are contracting with private companies Orbital Sciences Corporation and SpaceX to deliver cargo. In May 2012, SpaceX's Dragon spacecraft demonstrated successfully that it could berth with the ISS and deliver cargo. It is expected to begin the first of twelve contracted supplies in 2013. Orbital Sciences is scheduled to demonstrate its Cygnus spacecraft later this year and, provided it passes all the tests, will begin a contract for eight supply missions.

Blessed 'Yes' | The Possibility of Being Consent
by Maria Grizzetti
It is the week called holy, and our attention is focused on the mystery of redemption that will soon again be remembered as we near the Holy Triduum. The events leading to Calvary can be relived through the heart of the Mother who lived them perhaps most personally after Christ himself. And so, for a time, let us turn to her and to the beginning of the story that will lead us to Good Friday, and beyond it to the empty tomb.
No more than a maiden in Nazareth, and yet Mother of God.
'Hail, full of grace'
-Luke 1.28
The fulfillment of the story of redemption begins with these words — the blessed greeting brought to the Virgin in the simplicity of Nazareth would unleash centuries of grace and stands still as the pivotal tipping point in the history of man. Whether believed or not, the Savior came to the world and chose for His mother a maiden. Her necessary and free consent gave God permission.
Between the threshold of Nazareth and that of the Cross of Calvary lies the arc of human history. The desires of the ancients, the proclamations of the prophets, the long sought fulfillment of the aspirations of many generations, the covenants and the fore-tellings, the atonement for the world's sin, and even our own ache for happiness, came together at the threshold of one human heart. Through suffering, and loss, and the joy of communion, her life was one resounding and blessed Yes.
She would be the vessel that would bring the Lamb into the world so that he could offer himself for love of us until the end of time.
She would receive the Word made flesh, and cradle the Christ.
As they took Him down from the cross, they returned Him to the cradle of the maiden's arms.
How many attempts at belief mirror this very same receptivity–the receptivity of the Virgin's human heart to the hidden presence of the Lord–the Infant, whose very coming was intended for its ending.
No longer barren was the wasteland of desire. The Word had come among men, in the manner of the gentle. He sought a mother, like all men have, and honored her with his request. And her response unleashed the drama of redemption in its fullness.
What a blessed Yes!
How pure a love and powerful a Fiat!
What grace in acceptance; what strength in suffering and humble generosity!
So powerful and blessed was her Yes, it is echoing still now in souls who face for themselves that portent announcement of the grace of God, asking permission to reside in the depths of their hearts and there remain.
The Love that seeks our love–the same God is still in need of a human dwelling place.
The beginning of His life required her consent. It would be her faith that would sustain her at the hour of His death. The One who had been infant in her womb, God in her heart, strength for her soul, would also become our Savior on a Cross. And she would stand there silently, sorrowfully, solemnly, and there become Mother of the Living– those redeemed by her own Son's sacrifice.
It was a strong consent that she had made,
And watched, and learned, and fortified, and held.
It was a young word uttered long ago
That was old silence now before His cross.
She had no more. No speech. No strength. No life.
She stood there emptied. And she was consent.'
– John. W. Lynch. The Woman Wrapped in Silence, 228
She was the virgin maiden. She was His mother. She was His first believer. She was the Woman of the Cana feast; the silent witness of his work, the one would yield her very Son through her lacerated love. She was consent.
She had to be His mother first. What blessed Yes!
Should we accept the invitation to see her maternity in its fullness, we might accompany her along the Via Dolorosa, for then she must have known that fullest love, is the love of unreserved consent before God.
The possibility remains as we yet hear the very One she bore invite
'Behold thy mother.'
-John 19.27
Watching her there beneath his Cross, we see ourselves reflected. And in the economy of grace, like her we gain the chance to bring Christ to a thirsty world.
O Sweet Consent, O Virgin of such Sorrows, O Mother of the Living, teach us to be consent.
Stabat Mater dolorosa…
By the cross of expiation
The Mother stood, and kept her station,
Weeping for her Son and Lord:
With the nails his hands were riven;
Through her heart the sword was driven,
Simeon's dread, predicted sword.
Oh, that blessed one grief-laden,
Blessed Mother, blessed Maiden,
Mother of the All-holy One;
Oh, that silent, ceaseless mourning,
Oh, those dim eyes never turning
From that wondrous, suffering Son.
Who is of nature human
Tearless that could watch the Woman?
Hear unmoved that Mother's moan?
Who, unchanged in shape and colour,
Who could mark that Mother's dolour,
Weeping with her Son alone?
For his people's sins the All-holy
There she saw, a victim lowly,
Bleed in torments, bleed and die:
Saw the Lord's Anointed taken;
Saw her Child in death forsaken;
Heard his last expiring cry.
Fount of love and sacred sorrow,
Mother, may my spirit borrow
Sadness from thy holy woe;
May it love – on fire within me –
Christ, my God, till great love win me
Grace to please him here below.
Those five wounds of Jesus smitten,
Mother, in my heart be written
Deeply as in thine they be;
Thou my Savior's cross who bearest,
Thou my Son's rebuke who sharest,
Let me share them both with thee.
In the passion of my maker
Be my sinful soul partaker;
Let me weep till death with thee;
Unto me this grief be given,
By thy side, like thee bereaven,
To stand beneath the atoning tree.
Virgin holiest, Virgin purest,
Of that anguish thou endurest
Make me bear with thee my part;
Of his passion bear the token
In a spirit bowed and broken,
Bear his death within my heart.
May his wounds both wound and heal me;
His blood enkindle, cleanse, anneal me;
Be his cross my hope and stay:
Virgin, when the mountains quiver,
From that flame which burns for ever,
Shield me on the judgement-day.
Christ, when he that shaped me calls me,
When advancing death appals me,
Through her prayer the storm make calm:
When to dust my dust returneth
Save a soul to thee that yearneth;
Grant it thou the crown and palm.
Jacapone Da Todi (1228-1306) Translated from
the Latin by A. De Vere

You have no items in your shopping cart.
Finally, the holidays are here. You have a few days or weeks ahead of you to arrange completely at your own whim. Room for something new, room to explore and try things. That works best when you have something with you that you can rely on 100%. Like the FLSK water bottle.

Howe died suddenly of a suspected heart attack late Friday at his home in Warwickshire, north of London, after returning from a jazz concert with his wife Elspeth, his family said Saturday. Prime Minister David Cameron, also a Conservative, called Howe "the quiet hero of the first Thatcher government" who had shown "huge courage and resolve" in helping save the floundering British economy.

Competitive strategies adopted by adept systems limited in Kenya
Mutungi, Jimmy
MetadataShow full item record
In any business operations, Competitive strategy is key for survival and growth. A business that is able to build and sustain its competitive advantage is a business that has mastered crafting of a strategy that is competitive based on internal as well as external dynamics. In Kenya, the management Consulting services had had an exponential growth consequently increased competition necessitating the adoption of carefully crafted strategy. This study sought to investigate the competitive strategies that Adept systems has used to gain competitive advantage in Kenya and sought to achieve two objectives. These were to determine the competitive strategies used by Adept Systems Limited and how these competitive strategies have enhanced the performance of the organization. The study used a case study research design so as to enable an in-depth look at the organization under study. An interview guide was used as the primary source of data collection and was filled during interviews with the directors and senior managers of Adept Systems and was also complimented by secondary data from newspapers, review of internal documents as well as the internet and content analysis was used to analyze the data. The key findings were that Adept Systems has adopted various competitive strategies including strategic alliances, project turnaround time, quality of service, and people development. It was established that these strategies, though not necessarily unique to Adept Systems, have given it competitive advantage as evidenced by its continued operations over the last over twenty years as it's winning of large tenders against other market players. The study recommends that Adept Systems formalizes its strategy into a formal strategic document to enhance its clarity and help create unity in direction. The organization should also create a clear vision and mission statement. The study also recommends that managers of managing consulting firms adopt strategies that are critical in enhancing competitiveness in the management consulting services industry including client satisfaction and competitive pricing.

Does anyone have experience using the Windows Store app AV Remote (or its brother AV Cast)? I am trying to use it to Cast from my Windows 8.1 Tablet to the TV using Chromecast (which works OK). I have found it difficult to master the app but have managed to Cast photos and play music. But I am getting nowhere with playing video. Nothing I have is recognised (though it plays separately in VLC and very well in Real Player / Times.) I have just tried to play / Cast videos from YouTube without success. My YouTube video playlist appears in AV Cast but when I click on a video nothing happens --- the Play To button remains off.
I have read reviews from which I can see that many (not all) users find the app very satisfactory. I think it is something I am not doing right, and need someone who is familiar with AV Cast to advise me.

Above: Image, Gina Milicia
A few years ago I had a portrait shoot with a woman by the name of Dawn, well-loved and respected in the music industry (name, date and industry changed to protect the innocent).
From the first moment I met Dawn my inner monologue was "Houston we have a problem."
Dawn shook my hand but her eyes were cold.
I knew I could take a great shot but there was something about her energy, yep, I said 'energy', that threw me.
When I finally got Dawn onto the set I approached her again for a quick pre-shoot chat. This is something I like to do to establish a connection. Sometimes I ask how people got to the studio or notice an item of clothing. There isn't a formula, it's just chit chat.
This technique usually works but every once in a while you meet someone like Dawn who doesn't behave like most people. Now let me be very clear here. Dawn was polite and professional and agreed to do everything I asked her to do. The problem was I felt like everything I said was being blocked. Like there was a 10-storey fence around her and she wasn't allowing anyone in.
If you asked me at this exact moment I would have said that Dawn just didn't like me and I needed to do more to win her over. The problem was the harder I tried the more Dawn blocked me.
Then I remembered some advice a wise person had given me that said:
"You can't control other people's behaviour, but you can control your responses to it."
So instead of trying to manipulate someone to like me, I changed my own behaviour towards them. I kept my energy calm, warm and professional. I was trying to win someone over that was not interested in playing the game.
The moment I stopped caring about what Dawn thought of me and focused on being a better version of myself everything changed. Dawn eventually relaxed into the shoot, and bit by bit, brick by brick the walls started to come down.
I can't go as far to say that we were besties by the end of the shoot but I did get some great images and learnt a lot about connection in the process.
The next time you are confronted by someone like this, instead of blaming them, ask yourself how you can behave differently.
Here are a few of my favourite quotes about being liked.
"Being unafraid of not being liked is the best way to be liked." —Ines de La Fressange
"You wouldn't worry so much about what others think of you if you realized how seldom they do." —Eleanor Roosevelt
"You don't worry about being liked. You have to be yourself." —Vince Vaughn
"Do your thing, and don't care if they like it." —Tina Fey

Most brands and retailers rely heavily on canned topline reports. These are the reports that are furnished by data providers, solution providers, etc. I call this "push button category management". Canned topline reports are an excellent place to begin your analysis but they will not provide you with the actionable insights needed to grow sales and outperform the competition.
This is similar to a pilot flying a plane on auto pilot. The auto pilot will perform all the basic functions to move the plane from point "A" to point "B". This does not mean that it will handle most emergencies. Just ask Sully, the pilot who landed the commercial jet in the Hudson River.
The same holds true for category management. You still need to understand how to read and interpret the data. Numbers and graphs on the page are of no value unless they address specific business questions and provide actionable insights.
Topline reports are useful and give you a quick snapshot of how the category and your brand are performing. They also provide you with a quick look at your competition, their sales performance, the market, and anything that might affect your sales. At first glance, topline reports will answer some of your questions. Unfortunately, they are designed to work for everyone equally – including your competition. Your competitors see the same information in the same format! Topline reports don't provide you with the bigger picture or the competitive advantage you need.
The challenge is that your business is a lot more complex than any canned or topline reports can address. They are very generic and do little to answer most business questions. Imagine reading a report that tells you that your business is healthy nationally but fails to identify threats in specific markets where you're losing share to your competition. Wouldn't it be more helpful to identify a potential threat BEFORE the competitors take your sales and get you kicked off the shelf? The right reports will help you proactively manage your business.
Important questions you need answered to effectively grow your business:
• How is your brand performing in each market?
• How is your competition doing and are they outperforming your brand?
• Is there a hidden opportunity to reach more customers?
• Are your promotions attracting new customers?
- Are your customers selecting your competitors when you're out of stock?
• What steps do you need to take to become the preferred vendor?
What information do you want to see in your reports? Custom reports provide answers to these questions and so much more. They are the key to the success of your business, capable of unlocking actionable insights to give you a sustainable competitive advantage. Custom reports can be built to address every aspect of your business including, but not limited to:
• Your sales performance
• Market performance reports
• Retailer performance reports
• Your current distribution at each retailer
• Pricing comparisons between you and your competition
• Promotion analysis including the cost of promotion vs. the cost of the event
• Inventory management reports
• Channel comparison reports
• Custom ranking reports
Data in the natural channel is extremely fragmented. There are ways to enhance it and get the answers to your questions. This type of invaluable information will provide you with the competitive advantage you need to effectively grow sales and profits.

Well we are all burning everything now and still we don't have enough power – what is the future going to bring?
Globally the greed for fuel to power our world is the prime motivator for the big players – identifying the key to domination as a secure energy source and supply. The race for shale gas through fracking is on, with some governments letting their avarice shield environmental and safety concerns away from the debate. The brilliant video made in the USA to petition against fracking is impressive – so I discussed the issue with energy scientists at UCLAN. The UK policy is restrictive with tight controls and therefore drilling for gas here is deemed safe – safer than the USA (?) – where the lobby against it is growing. Apparently, the operation is safer than coal mining and less toxic, wherever you live. Difficult to believe if you have seen the guy in the US having flames coming out of his tap.
Ed Davey has lifted a suspension on the controversial practice of hydraulic fracturing, on the condition of strict seismic controls.
Fracking is set to be the next frontier for the UK's oil and gas industry, after the government lifted restrictions on the controversial practice on Thursday, giving a green light to drilling that could produce billions of pounds worth of gas.
The first new site is likely to be at Anna's Road in Lancashire, near three exploratory fracking wells that were closed after they caused two minor earthquakes last year. Dozens more sites across the country could be licensed as ministers signaled their hope that shale gas would help to make up for the decline in North Sea gas supplies.
Ed Davey, the Liberal Democrat energy and climate secretary, said: "Shale gas could contribute significantly to our energy security, and reduce imports of gas as we move to a low-carbon economy. It…

The forecast for most of the Easter long weekend is sunny and bright across the country, but winter is coming back again on Monday.
According to the Finnish Meteorological Institute FMI, the temperatures are colder than usual, with the chance of severe frosts overnight, but it will be generally sunny weather over Easter.
But on Monday the weather is likely to change, due to a front moving in from the south.
"There is a chance for snowfall in the whole country, but the forecast is not yet certain" says Niko Tollman, a meteorologist at FMI.
"There is some variation in the forecast, if the next weather system is coming to us, or if it will go to the east" Tollman explains.
Before then, the sunshine will make the temperatures feel warmer, especially in the south of the country, although overnight freezes might cause slippery road surfaces.
Winter Statistics
There's no doubt that winter has lingered in many parts of Finland this year. In North Karelia, there is still a metre of snow at observation stations this weekend. In Jyväskylä there's still almost 80cm. In Kittilä more than 90cm, approximately the same as last year.
In the capital city region, winter snow has been around average, compared with statistics from 1981 to 2010.
Helsinki Ice Advice
The Helsinki Fire Department is warning people not to go out on the sea ice this Easter weekend due to unpredictability of ice strength.
Great Day Outdoors! We are no longer recommending going to the sea for ice because its load capacity varies unpredictably.
Writing on Twitter, rescue officials recommend being prepared at minimum with small ice picks hung around the neck, that you can use to help haul yourself out in case the ice gives way and you find yourself unexpectedly in the water.

Contract for electronic voting and counting software signed
Electronic voting and vote counting at the next ACT Legislative Assembly election took another step today with the announcement of the successful software tenderer.
Software Improvements, a locally owned company, has been selected to provide software for computer voting and vote counting for ACT elections, the ACT Electoral Commissioner, Phil Green, announced today. The next election will be held on 20 October 2001.
In responding to the electronic voting tender, Software Improvements and its subcontractors were able to cite extensive experience in developing high integrity software. Experts from the Australian National University's Research School of Information Sciences and Engineering and developers from VA Linux Systems are part of the Software Improvements team developing the new system.
Using an on-screen ballot paper designed by Software Improvements, some voters at the next ACT election will be able to show preferences for candidates using a simplified keyboard. Their votes will be recorded on computer disk and counted electronically after the polls close.
Electronic voting will be made available for voters unable to get to a polling place at 4 pre-poll voting centres (in Civic, Woden, Belconnen and Tuggeranong) and at 8 polling places throughout Canberra on election day. Around 20,000 of the ACT's 214,000 voters are expected to be able to vote electronically.
"Most voters will still vote on traditional ballot papers. A data-entry process designed by Software Improvements will convert handwritten preferences on paper ballots into electronic form, to be combined with the electronic voting data to produce the election results under the ACT's Hare-Clark electoral system," Mr Green said.
The ACT Electoral Commission has been exploring options for electronic voting and vote counting since the 1998 election. The ACT Legislative Assembly amended the Electoral Act in December 2000 to allow computer voting and counting at ACT elections.
"Introduction of electronic voting and vote counting should ensure that future ACT elections are counted more accurately than the old hand-counting method, leading to greater confidence in election outcomes," Mr Green said.
"The new software will be subjected to extensive testing to ensure it is accurate and secure, as well as easy to use. The software will be used on standard computer hardware, that will not be connected to any external networks. The system will also include numerous backups and safeguards to ensure that voting data will not be lost. This will guarantee the security of the electronic voting and counting processes," Mr Green said.

1. He steals a glance at you when you're not looking.
You can feel him staring at you, but every time you try to catch him, he's quick to look the other way. You try to stare at him too, daring him to meet your eyes, but he's cautious not to have a glimpse of you this time around, so he acts like he's busy with something. When you're about to shift your attention to other direction, there he is again — stealing a glance at you.
2. He wants to sit beside you in a group.
He's eager to occupy the seat beside you, and after quite some time, he starts making a light and casual conversation with you. He even gives a genuine laugh to your silly joke. He keeps asking you more questions when it's apparent that his communication with you is fizzling out.
3. He initiates an invitation to hang out.
He approaches you one day and works up the nerve to ask you if you can hang out with him some other time. You can see him shifting from one foot to another as he waits for your answer. As soon as you accept his offer, you notice that the worry on his face is replaced by a smile from ear to ear.
4. He knows what your interests are.
He follows you on all your social media accounts so it doesn't surprise you that he knows your favorite color, favorite food, favorite show, and favorite place to be. Sometimes he even pretends he wants the same thing that you love, just to make sure that you have plenty of things in common. He is pretty much interested in what you like and what you don't like.
5. He pays close attention when you're talking.
He listens to every single word that you're saying. He looks you deep in the eyes while you talk. He nods his head when he agrees with you, and asks for clarification about a topic he finds hard to understand. He never touches his phone whenever he is with you, and that is a clear sign that he wants to be more than friends with you.
6. He is different when he's with you.
You notice the way he treats you as if you're the most special person to him. He's careful with the way he presents himself to you. He makes sure he looks good, smells nice, and says the right words when he's with you. And you know he's trying so hard to impress you because you notice that he is different when he's with other people than he is when he's with you.
7. He blushes when you make body contact with him.
He becomes nervous when you accidentally touch his fingers. You see him blush when you tap him on the back. You feel his body tenses when you rest your head on his shoulder. And you can tell he likes it when you fix the mess in his hair, even if he doesn't admit it.
8. He playfully teases you once in a while.
When you become comfortable with each other, you start to hear him throwing flirty jokes on you. He tickles you on the ribs randomly. He pokes you in the arms then pretends it's not him. He mimics your tone and the way you speak sometimes. But he's quick to apologize when he's becoming too much.
9. He keeps complimenting you.
Even on the days that you wear something ordinary. He is always amazed by your skills. He compliments your intelligence. And he keeps saying how beautiful you are either to make you feel good about yourself or to let you know that you are truly beautiful to him.
10. He gives you a gift.
A guy isn't going to give you something valuable if he is not interested in you. A guy doesn't spend money on other people unless they are special for him. When a guy hands you an item in a gift wrapper, you have the right to assume that he likes you.

Ebony Rose Loans – who are our clients?
Self Employed
Walter and Betty are a married couple in their late 50s. Walter has been self-employed for more than 20 years. Betty works part-time at the local pharmacy. They have had some tough years financially with income down for a few years, until about a year ago, when Walter was able to sign new clients to long-term contracts. However, during those tough years, their debts dramatically increased trying to make ends meet during a time they should've been planning for retirement. Their mortgage increased from $550,000 to $640,000, they took out a $30,000 personal loan, and they had accumulated $35,000 in debts over three credit cards.
They came to us drowning with over $5,850 per month in debt repayments. They could not see a way out.
During our meeting we recommended our self-employed product. Even though they had some lean years leading up to the last 12 months, via BAS statements and trading accounts we were able to provide the lender with enough evidence income was improving.
We were able to recommend a strategy whereby the lender recognised that not all loans are exactly the same and being able to provide evidence income was on the improve, a reorganisation of commitments to a more manageable level and a payment plan to have their loans consolidated into one manageable commitment, the lender approved the new loan.
We were able to:
- consolidate the couple's debts,
- cancel their credit cards and personal loan,
- their monthly commitments went from $5,850 to $2,765 per month, and
- create a plan to have the new loan paid out before retirement.
Mum and Dad
Stephen and Elizabeth bought their property in 2011 for $680,000, and the initial 30 year mortgage was for $480,000. Today they are in their mid-40s and have three children with an outstanding mortgage balance of $380,000.
Stephen is a miner and Elizabeth works part-time for the state government. They have a combined income of $165,000 pa and have lived in their home for 8 years (which is currently worth approximately $850,000). For many years they had hoped to invest in property, but life has always stopped them from moving forward.
The couple also only have $250,000 combined in their superannuation accounts.
They approached us to assist with setting themselves up for retirement and ensuring a future where, should the need arise, they can financially help their children.
We recommended a strategy to assist with the purchase of three investment properties. Firstly, using the equity they have established in their home to purchase two investment properties. Secondly, using their available combined superannuation, to purchase a third property via the setup of a new Self-Managed Super Fund (SMSF), recommended by their accountant.
With confirmation from their accountant regarding the setup of the SMSF along with the tax and other benefits associated with the strategy, we added the next piece of the puzzle in setting up the finance to assist with the purchase of the investment properties. This strategy will allow Stephen and Elizabeth a comfortable retirement with passive income from the investment properties with little or no debt.
We were able to show Stephen and Elizabeth:
- How the mortgages will be clear in just over 11 years through our advice on rent, tax and depreciation benefits received and the correct repayment structure .
- Furthermore, with a net outlay of $127 per week, their current $480,000 home loan, along with the equity release of $250,000, assists with the deposit and costs for the purchase of the two investment properties.
- And, if they continue to adhere to this advice, all their loans, including the new investment loans will be paid out in under 21 years.
Frank and Maria are in their early 40s. They have two young children and have run a successful soil testing business for the last 14 years, which employs eleven others. They live a comfortable life and approached us to assist with a top-up loan on their mortgage for home improvements.
After the initial consultation, an opportunity was recognised and presented to them for further consideration. During the preparation of loan application forms, it was discovered the business was operated out of two side by side rented factories. With over $360,000 in their combined super accounts, we advised they seek further financial clarification from their accountant about setting up a new SMSF to help purchase commercial property for the business to operate. After meeting with their accountant whereby the benefits and tax implications of this type of strategy were discussed, Frank and Maria consolidated their super into a SMSF. We assisted them with the finance so they could purchase two side by side factories from where their business now operates.
For our team it was about:
- recognising possible opportunities
- understanding the customers needs,
- directing them to seek the best possible advice, and
- assisting with the implementation of the finance they require.

There are two references to nuclear power, copied below.
What the rest of the world notices most about Australian emissions is that ours are the highest per capita in the OECD; that over the past several decades they have been growing faster than those in other OECD countries; and that while in 1971 the emissions intensity of Australian primary energy supply was similar to the OECD as a whole, in recent years it has been more than one-third higher (Draft Report, Chapter 8, Figure 8.6). There are good reasons why Australia became relatively more dependent on a high-emissions source of energy, coal, while the remainder of the OECD was reducing the proportionate role of coal and increasing the contributions of low-emissions energy, including nuclear. But whatever the reasons, they are not easily reconciled with the idea that Australia is leading the world in emissions reduction.
It is often said in Australia that developing countries are strongly resistant to reductions in emissions, and that it is unrealistic to expect them to participate in global constraints on emissions. This is too simple. China's selective withdrawal of export rebates within its value added tax, the export taxes on a range of energy-intensive products, its discouragement of expansion of energy-intensive industries and its specific regulatory constraints on investment in steel, aluminium and cement production add up to more substantial constraints on the most emissions-intensive industries than would occur in Australia in the early years of an emissions trading system. China's active encouragement of low-emission sources of power (hydroelectric, wind, nuclear, biomass, biofuels) goes beyond current Australian efforts. These measures stand alongside a domestic policy commitment to reduce the energy intensity of economic activity by four percentage points per annum until 2020. Data released in August 2008 show the energy intensity of Chinese GDP falling by 3.7 per cent in 2007—the first sign of good intentions on energy intensity being reflected in policy outcomes.
There is a special section devoted to the future use of coal [heavily dependent on near zero leakage CCS technology]. The report remains technology-neutral beyond these statements, referring only to 'low-emissions technologies'.
Section 6 of the report addresses the fact that despite Australia's contribution of only 1.5% of total global emissions - 'Australia matters'. Garnaut concludes:
There are already reports in the media calling the proposed trajectories inadequate. Calls for greater reductions within the context of a sustainable Australian economy will continue to increase the attractiveness of nuclear power.
Australia matters. What we do matters. When we do it matters. It would be really silly to take action with costs to ourselves meant to assist the emergence of a good international agreement, but to do it too late to have a chance of avoiding high risks of dangerous climate change. What we do now, in time to influence the global mitigation regime from the end of the Kyoto period, is of high importance. What we do later runs the risk of being inconsequential in avoiding dangerous climate change.

GALLIA COUNTY — With winter weather in full swing, many outside dogs are feeling the full effect of the cold and snow.
Laurie Cardillo is the dog warden in Gallia County and is tasked with dealing with reports of abused animals.
According to Cardillo, the law is written to ensure that animals have food, water, and shelter.
"Shelter consists of, we would like to see some kind of dog box with three sides and a roof," said Cardillo. "It's kind of a grey area because, in this area, if a dog can get under a building that could be considered a shelter."
Cardillo strongly suggests that outside dogs have a sturdy shelter that can shield the dog from wind and rain and have some kind of insulation or bedding. She suggests pine bedding or hay to keep the dogs warm, and would discourage blankets.
"I don't recommend blankets. They are better than nothing at all, but they tend to hold moisture," said Cardillo. "If it's raining outside, the dog goes inside and gets the blanket wet, it's going to hold that moisture in."
Cardillo explained that by holding the moisture, dogs are more likely to be cold whereas hay or pine bedding will drain the moisture out faster.
Regarding water, Cardillo heavily stressed the need for fresh, unfrozen water for outside animals.
"They have got to have water. A lot of people don't understand, they think a dog doesn't need water in the winter time," said Cardillo. "In the summer time water keeps the body temperature down, in the winter time it keeps the body temperature up."
Cardillo also suggests keeping the water fresh for the dogs to prevent freezing.
Cardillo also has suggestions regarding neglect and what to report on. When neglect is seen, law enforcement should be contacted, who will in turn pass the information on the Cardillo. The Gallipolis Police Department can be reached at 740-446-1313 and the Gallia Sheriff's Office can be reached at 740-446-1221.
"If you see a dog that is chained to a tree and you see no box, no signs of food, no water, that is neglect," said Cardillo. "What I don't want people to report is people drive by, they see a dog laying on top of the dog house in the snow and calling that neglect."
Having the proper understanding of what is legally neglect and what Cardillo is allowed to do is important. She reiterated that neglect, according to the law, is providing food, water, and shelter.
"Anytime they see a dog chained to a tree, if a dog is skinny, I'm talking ribs, backbone are showing, that's an issue," she said.
According to Cardillo not all skinny dogs are being neglected, a dog could be fed three times a day but is very skinny due to parasites, which is a more indepth legal process in the courts if it is neglect. Cardillo explained a simple way to prevent those kind of parasites.
"We don't want them to throw food on the ground. Hooks and whips (parasites) live in the ground, so if the food is on the ground it is contaminated and that will make the dog sick," said Cardillo. "Put the food in a pan or bowl."
The canine shelter is open 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Monday through Saturday currently, and can be reached by phone at 740-441-0207.
Reach Morgan McKinniss at 740-446-2342.

Socoder -> Retro Stuff -> Amiga Forever
|Posted : Saturday, 17 March 2018, 11:58
Amiga Forever
Since I started working on the Fire Power remake I though it would be a good time to buy legal Amiga Roms. There are several Amiga forever packages and I bought the most expensive downloadable version. This one cost me 30 euro.
I am suprised how good this emulator is. There are not many games included but the way the emulator works is prettty solid and featureful. The zipped msi package was almost 650mb. There are a couple of bugs though. Winuae is included also I think, but I have not tried that one yet.
There are a lot of settings that can be set and there is also a save state function. It looks also like changes you make are put inside special files. Every amiga rom ever (afaik) is included.
There are also modern amiga packages included. Walker/Amigasys/Aros that seem to have lots pre installed. Also the original workbench variations are present. I tried Amiga Basic and this one brought back memories(it was bad!) In several workbenches there are a number of emulators.(nintendo/c64 etc)
I spend the yesterday evening downloading magazine disks and various other amiga disks and experimenting. I found the disk magazine which contained blitz basic 1.60 and it seems to work allright. The Amos files that the original programmer made available seems not to work that well. I only got easy amos running. I probably need to spend more time re-learning how everything works.
As for games. I connected my joypad and it worked after selecting it. I played a couple of games of Fire Power to see if I could get a global idea on how to remake it.
I am not disappointed with the Amiga Forever software. I wil probably use this instead of winuae.
|Posted : Saturday, 17 March 2018, 12:17
Last time I saw Amiga Forever, it WAS Winuae, but wrapped in an extra layer of GUI.
Has it changed?
''Load, Next List!''
|Posted : Saturday, 17 March 2018, 13:26
I think it's just the same.
|Posted : Friday, 27 April 2018, 12:31
The emulator is still winuae. The rest should be from Cloanto.
The new version of winuae is being developed, if you like to make suggestions/bug reports, visit their forum at eab.abime.net
p.s. (eh. i meant suggestions for the emulator, not for the Cloanto's gui/wrapper/whatever parts.)
The emulator works fine without the additions, which, i think, brings you only the comfort of not needing to remember which game needs which kickstart/chipset configuration.
|Posted : Friday, 27 April 2018, 14:02
The thing I don't like about Amiga emu, is that it's far more complicated than simply owning an Amiga. It seems a bit complex to have to set all of the different possible hardware combinations manually just to get a game to work at all. When with hardware you have A1200 or A500 and almost everything just works
Check out my excellent homepage!
|Posted : Friday, 27 April 2018, 18:10
I'm with spinal on this one, Amiga emulation should be at least as easy as WinAPE or something similar.
|Posted : Friday, 27 April 2018, 19:54
Thing is with all the copyright and abandonware unknowns I think no company or group wants to create a library with everything just working straight away.
I do see references to libraries with every amiga rom ever pre-configured to work straight away.
The forever emulator remembers the settings for the next time you run it so you only need to press the start button.

OpinionFilm documents CFS battle
SILENT NO MORE: Jennifer Brea began a video diary on her iPhone to document her battle with chronic fatigue syndrome. It became the film documentary, Unrest.
THERE'S amarvellous opportunity on Saturday to see an inspiring and eye-opening film made by a young aspiring academic struck down by chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) sometimes called myalgic encephalomyelitis (ME).
I am so pleased to have been able to help bringthis film to Newcastle because, for the manyfamilies who have a loved one suddenly incapacitated by an unknown illness, it will offer some solace andwisdom.I am pleased also to have the opportunity to summarise where the science is up to in understanding such illnesses.
Jennifer Brea is a Harvard PhD student soon to be engaged when she is struck down by a mysterious fever that leaves her bedridden. She becomes progressively more ill, eventually losing the ability even to sit in a wheelchair, but doctors tell her it's "all in her head".Unable to convey the seriousness and depth of her symptoms to her doctor, Jennifer begins a video diary on her iPhone that eventually becomes the feature documentary film Unrest.
Once Jennifer is diagnosed with ME/CFS, she and new husband Omar are left to grapple with how to live in the face of a lifelong illness. Refusing to accept the limitations of life in bed, Jennifer goes on an inspiring virtual global voyage where she finds a hidden community of millions who have disappeared from their own lives, confined to their homes by ME. These patients use the internet, Skype and Facebook to support each other.
Many ME patients have experienced uncertainty, confusion and even disbelief from the medical community and society as a whole. After all, it is easy to ignore a disease when patients are too sick to leave their homes. In Unrest, Jennifer shares her pain and the most intimate moments of her life in order to offer hope and visibility to those who suffer alone in dark, silent rooms.At its core, Unrest is a love story. Though Jennifer and Omar may have to accept that they will never live the life they dreamed of, together they find resilience, strength, and meaning in their community and each other.
Our research on CFS, rheumatoid arthritis, fibromyalgia, TMJ syndrome, dyslexia and autism some 20 years ago at the University of Newcastle has shown that, in each of these conditions, there is a disturbance of the amino acid profile in the urine that is indicative of a chronic catabolic state.Such a catabolic state is consistently seen in the muscle wasting we experience when we have an infection, traumatic physical injury or significant burns.More recent research from the US showed that CFS has the metabolic signature characteristic of a highly concerted response to environmental stress.Former colleagues in Melbourne have recently reported support for the chronic catabolic concept by their work on inflammatory markers.
CFS is a multisystem disease that causes long-term pain and disability. It is difficult to diagnose because of its diverse symptoms and the lack of a diagnostic laboratory test. It is very difficult to obtain funds in for CFS research. Recently, the US announced $7million for research into this disease. Targeted areas cover the search for microbial agents, such as viruses and bacteria, which may play a role in the disease, andhow genetics, the immune system, and metabolism interact in ME/CFS.
The public are invited to the seminar and film, Room CT202 of the Callaghan Campus of the University of Newcastle at 5pm on Saturday, November 11.
Professor TimRoberts is the director of theTom Farrell Institute for the Environment
