One year into a quiet program that has already been used by more than 600 advisors who custody with it, Schwab Advisor Services announced Tuesday that it is expanding its Insight to Action practice management program to additional locations and additional topics.
The free program, says Nick Georgis (left), vice president of SAS, has attracted advisory firms of all sizes with varying levels of complexity, with "most of the firms going through the program at $200 million plus" in assets under management. In addition to the topics listed below, Georgis says Schwab is looking at adding workshop focuses on strategic marketing and growth and another "around firm productivity from business operations." Schwab's most recent benchmarking study found that while many advisors say they want to achieve growth, most have not charted out the specific steps to achieve that growth.
Based on all-day workshops in various cities across the country—there have been 19 such workshops conducted on a regional basis so far, and Georgis says Schwab plans 30 events next year—participating firms must prepare ahead of time for the "immersive" gathering, and depending on their strategic plans and goals, Schwab consultants will follow up with the firms to ensure accountability and implementation, with Georgis noting that it's in that phase where customization of their plans occurs.
The expanded curriculum for the workshops addresses one of the three main topics:
- Mastering Strategic Planning
- Managing Client Profitability
- Transition on Your Terms
A fourth workshop focuses on how advisors can better levarege their technology tools, with best practices presented on using CRM programs, for example, with the ultimate goal for advisors to outline a technology action plan for their firms.
The succession planning workshop, Georgis says, is designed to help an advisor write an actual succession plan, starting with how to value an advisor's practice, to allow advisors to "transition on their own terms" with follow-up support from Schwab for up to three months.
On strategic planning, Georgis says attendees go through a SWOT analysis to identify their strengths and weaknesses, "then we work with them after that" to determine "what we need to do get them where they want to be." Most firms might have a vision, Georgis sayd, "but it's helpful to get them to articulate" the vision and then "streamline it to make it plausible." Returning to the SWOT analysis, advisors are encouraged to explore "what's keeping you from realizing your vision? What can you do today? Advisors are finding that process incredibly helpful." Just having a vision isn't enough, Georgis says, since "the vision won't work without a game plan." Many firms are "separating themselves from the pack," he says, "with much better results than others," including doing more strategic planning, segmenting their client base, and creating a client service roadmap. Such firms tend to "understand the importance of succession planning" which entail not only "putting people in place so the founding partner can transition out of the firm, but finding and keeping the right people to be the next generation of owners."
"We meet our clients where they are," Georgis says, with Schwab "not dictating that they have a certain vision" but working with the advisors to achieve their own visions, though Georgis points out that an advisor's chances for growth success "goes up dramatically when you do things like client segmentation."
Georgis believes that advisors are "much more willing" to spend the time and energy to improve their firms than they have in the past, but with the understanding that they "need to be more targeted." By participating in these workshops, writing a strategic plan and a succession plan, "they're creating more enterprise value…giving them more options" with the result that it's "good for clients, employee and the next generation" of advisors.
In addition to what Schwab's ITA consultants deliver to attendees, in tandem with Schwab's regional relationship managers, Georgis says that a major benefit of the workshops is that the advisors learn from one another in these specific areas of concentration.
The programs are delivered by Schwab's core team of business consultants in conjunction with regional relationship managers around the country; they include onsite RIA office visits.

China's Relations With Uighurs Worsen Under Xi
China's government is blaming members of the Uighur ethnic minority from the Xinjiang region for Saturday's deadly attack on a Kunming train station. Alim Seytoff, spokesman for the World Uyghur Congress, tells how relations with Beijing are expected to deteriorate under President Xi Jinping.

About Quicken
Quicken is a popular commercial record-keeping package that is:
User friendly. Quicken is easy for people unfamiliar with accounting terms to use, making it a good place to start when changing from a hand-kept cash accounting system to computerized records.
Inexpensive and readily available. Depending on the version that you select, Quicken may be purchased for $40-50 at many retail outlets.
Flexible. Allows record-keeping for a wide variety of agricultural and non-ag business enterprises, as well as family living expenses.
Widely used. Users can compare notes with neighbors on its application and use.
Quicken's checkbook register makes for a familiar environment to begin computerized recordkeeping. Although Quicken includes only home and general business income and expense categories, farm income and expense categories are easily added. Import options allow you to add a farm category list created at Oklahoma State University that matches the tax Schedule F, minimizing the effort required to develop a beginning chart of accounts.
Quicken's "tag" feature can be used with categories to further identify and sort transactions to allow cash reports by enterprise, by partnership share, or by farm. Splits of transactions allow a specific transaction to be divided into numerous components with different category and/or tag assignments. For example, a check written to a farm supply store can be separated into expenses for fertilizer for wheat, feed for hogs, and fuel for checking cattle.
Reports—transactions, cash flow, account balances, balance sheet, comparison, tax summary—are easily generated, information filtered and layout modified. Although tax schedules are not generated, tax schedule reports summarize information recorded that pertains to a specific tax schedule and data can be exported to other software such as TurboTax®.
Built-in financial planning and monitoring features are also useful. Loans can be amortized with scheduled payments retained for future use. Comparison reports highlight budget versus actual figures. Quicken files can be imported easily into QuickBooks®, a popular small business accounting package, if the producer later requires a more sophisticated financial record keeping system.
For agricultural users, a major shortcoming in Quicken is the inability to easily summarize physical data associated with individual financial transactions, making it hard to integrate production and financial records in reports and analysis. Within Quicken, physical quantities and price per unit information can be stored in memo lines and exported to spreadsheets for further summary and analysis.

METRO VANCOUVER — Burnaby park officials are investigating the reported sighting of a snakehead fish at the lagoon in Central Park.
"We haven't actually witnessed it ourselves," Don Hunter, assistant director of Burnaby parks, said Tuesday. Staff have contacted the ministry of the environment and a biologist to try to identify the fish supposedly sighted last weekend, he said.
A person made a recent video and posted it online with the comment: "Was at Central Park on Mother's Day, took a walk around the lagoon to check out the carp and Koi. To my surprise I spotted a snakehead fish, a very large one."
Snakeheads can grow up to a metre long, weigh six kilograms and a spawning female can release up to 15,000 eggs at once, mating up to five times a year.
They are voracious predators with teeth that eat other fish and small mammals.
Michael Russello, an associate professor of biology at the Okanagan campus of the University of British Columbia, said it's possible the fish could have been dumped out of a fish tank, which is what happened in the U.S.
"It's a big problem down in the States," Russello said. "They have a primitive lung that allows them to move across land to other water bodies," he added.
"They're very scary. They're an ambush predator. They can take a small dog."
The invasive species is a top-level predatory fish that comes from Asia and Africa.
It has been spotted in Ontario and is able to live out of water for slightly less than an hour while it slithers across land, seeking more ponds and lakes to invade.
Chris Harley, an associate professor of zoology at UBC, said he was shocked to find that snakehead fish are being sold live at the T&T market in Richmond.
"It doesn't make sense to cater to live sales," he said, adding it increases the risk of the invasive species being released into local waters.
He said some Buddhist temples release live seafood, in an act called "emancipation" to bring good karma.
Jonathan Moore, an assistant professor of biology at Simon Fraser University, said he would like to see a ban of live sales of snakehead fish.
"Many states [in the U.S.] have very strict controls on live fish sales, including live bait," he said.
If the Burnaby sighting is confirmed, he said, "it's something to be concerned about" because once an invasive species gets established, it's difficult to remove.

Recommended Books
The following are recommended books for parents and educators.
The now-retired founder of Kinko's mixes autobiographical anecdote with large doses of business advice in this candid, conversational account of his entrepreneurial rise. His autobiographical sections explain how a man with dyslexia, an uncontrollable temper and a mistrust of authority managed to grow a tiny California copy shop into a $2-billion-a-year company.
In 1994, Driven to Distraction sparked a revolution in our understanding of attention deficit disorder. Widely recognized as the classic in the field, the book has sold more than a million copies. Now a second revolution is under way in the approach to ADD, and the news is great. Drug therapies, our understanding of the role of diet and exercise, even the way we define the disorder — all are changing radically. And doctors are realizing that millions of adults suffer from this condition, though the vast majority of them remain undiagnosed and untreated. In this new book, Drs. Edward M. Hallowell and John J. Ratey build on the breakthroughs of Driven to Distraction to offer a comprehensive and entirely up-to-date guide to living a successful life with ADD.
What is dyslexia and how is it assessed in adults? What is the most appropriate training for those who work with dyslexic people? This comprehensive guide is for professionals working with adults with dyslexia in the learning and working environment. It uses practical definitions and offers advice that can be understood by professionals and employers with little or no previous understanding of dyslexia.
This book was written by a leading expert in the field for people of all backgrounds and abilities and will help readers to master complex organisational skills, deal with a large workload and cope with the demands of deadlines. It also shows how to improve confidence, deal with stress, and build on the creative talent that many dyslexics possess.
What is it like to live with disabilities no one can see? Readers will find out in this honest and gripping narrative of one woman's life with hidden disabilities — including learning disabilities, ADHD, and bipolar disorder. Yet this is more than just her story of battling adversity and coming out a winner. In each chapter, renowned psychiatrist Larry Silver, M.D., shares his insight into how Veronica's experiences — both positive and negative — influenced her academically and emotionally and how early diagnosis and intervention might have benefited her. These two compelling accounts give readers an appreciation for the difficulties and triumphs living with hidden disabilites can bring and an awareness of what can be done to help.
Christopher Lee was the author's student at The University of Georgia, and Faking It: A Look Into the Mind of a Creative Learner is the story of his struggle to come to terms with learning disabilities. Using modifications and accommodations and putting in lots of hard work, Christopher graduated in 1990, and this book was published in 1992. Christopher looked forward to graduating because he thought his major struggles with LD would end with school. However, he quickly realized that the world of work offered a whole new array of challenges. He has spent the last eight years reframing his disability into something positive and has learned how to use assistive technology to compensate for problems with reading, writing and spelling in the workplace.
Combines poignant stories told by learning disabled adults with advice for therapists counseling them. This book provides counselors with insight into the personal dimension of learning disabilities and ADD, as well as practical guidelines for their assessment and treatment. Carol Wren shares powerful stories of adults with learning disabilities, letting readers hear their anger, depression, and struggles with substance abuse. Her framework links LD with certain emotional problems, while Jay Einhorn's commentary adds guidance on counseling LD adults.
Richard Bolless What Color Is Your Parachute? has helped millions of readers find their path in life, and now his Creative Approach to Job-Hunting is brought to bear on the specific challenges faced by job hunters with disabilities. In Job-Hunting for the So-Called Handicapped, Bolles and Dale Susan Brown guide readers through the often-frustrating, but ultimately rewarding process of securing independence in their lives and personal satisfaction in their careers. The authors begin by demystifying the intricacies of the ADA, describing in clear terms what the act does and does not guarantee disabled job hunters, and then move on to job-hunting strategies tailored specifically to people with disabilities.
This anthology is comprised of two major components: thirteen full-length, autobiographical essays written by persons with learning disabilities and five analytical chapters written by education and psychology scholars. Speaking in terms alternately intimate and analytical, the autobiographical essays each tell of a sustained personal encounter with the challenges and mysteries of living with a learning disability. But these autobiographies are not merely personal, concerned solely with their writers' private lives. Rather, they are also in various ways consciously analytical, offering astute critical readings of culture and society. The scholarly essays are written by such noted educators and psychologists as Lisa Delpit, Robert Kegan, and Janet Lerner. For any educator or parent of students with learning disabilities.
This book focuses on adults with severe learning disabilities (LD) and the educators who work with them. In this volume, experts in the fields of learning disabilities and adult literacy describe the characteristics, demographics, and educational and employment status of adults with LD and discuss the laws that protect them in the workplace and in educational settings. Combining cutting-edge research findings with firsthand instructional expertise, the authors examine the various screening procedures used to identify learning disabilities, present a range of instructional strategies and staff development programs for teaching literacy skills to adults, and showcase exemplary programs that assist adults with LD to find the right job and to be successful.
Proceeds from the sale of books purchased from our recommended books section can help support LD OnLine.

Undead Abomination
And so the battle continues aboard the Firefly as her crew fight desperately against the well-trained and well-equipped Elven forces. The Elf captain is gravely wounded by some focused fire. After being enraged by a sudden backlash of his untamed magical energies, Adrian lashes out and kills him by crushing his head with his last ounce of arcane power. Thanks to a fantastically lucky shot of the ballista by the ship's Master Gunner, Borlass, a harpoon severs the restraining rope on a catapault aboard
With their business arrangement concluded, Captain Ia decides to do a few last bits of shopping in the Market Garden before returning to the ship. While doing so, she is approached by one of the Elven patrols who ask to speak with her. They inform of the discussion the temple priests had with one of her crewmen and that the Sheriff has asked that her and her crew remain confined to the docks during the remainder of their stay. They also insinuate that their presence is apparently unwelcome as it
Three weeks into their travel across the endless Void, the Firefly comes across another ship heading in the opposite direction. As the ships close, the lookout discovers that the other ship is an orcish war raft, a raiding vessel built by lashing multiple ships together as one. The captain prepares her ship and crew for an attack but upon coming into close range, the war raft is revealed to made of only smaller ships and the orcs are detered by the apparent skill, armament and size of Firefly's
This session became mostly a "planning/investigating/recovering" session.
The ship returned to Gateway and the first order of business was to return Allon's remains to Tomas who then rewarded them as promised and left to grieve. The Captain found buyers for their salvage and scrapped together the necessary money to make repairs to the ship.

Clinical Nutrition There are numerous ways, which healthcare specialists use to assess the unique nutritional needs of an individual which include taking a thorough history, reviewing dietary habits, physical examination and the performance of laboratory tests such as blood, stool and urine analysis. An individualized nutritional approach will promote health and tissue recovery. Specific supplemental recommendations may be provided to help facilitate anabolic recovery of compromised tissues. Special attention may be placed on recommending neuroprotective strategies in those cases where there is neurological compromise or disease. Physiotherapy Physiotherapy if often one of the earliest approaches taken in a physical medicine setting. It can be used to help an individual gain strength, improve flexibility, reduce pain, and promote greater independence. It is commonly used to treat conditions that affect muscles and nerves. One of the primary applications is the rehabilitation from stroke or injury. Physiotherapy approaches include the use of heat, cold, electric stimulation, ultrasound, iontophoresis, traction and massage. Physical Rehabilitation During the physical rehabilitative approach, attention is placed on the health and integrity of bone and soft tissues, biomechanical function of the affected joint or joints, and the patient's psychosocial response.

A primary cause of
is a herniated or bulging lower lumbar intervertebral disk that compresses one of the nerve roots before it joins the sciatic nerve. Sometimes, irritation of a branch of the sciatic nerve in the leg can be so severe as to set up a reflex pain reaction involving the entire length of the nerve. For example, if the nerve is pinched or irritated near the knee, you may feel the pain in the hip and buttock.

Lower Back Strength - It is not going to help to work on the nerve if you have a weak back. Strengthen your back and you will help the pelvis get back into alignment and release the tension.
Sciatica usually affects only one side of the lower body. Often, the pain extends from the lower back all the way through the back of the thigh and down through the leg. Depending on where the sciatic nerve is affected, the pain may also extend to the foot or toes.
Finding a cure for Sciatica is a challenge, have you searched without finding anything? Maybe you have and have decided to give up, but are still hoping to find some relief for the pain.
Sciatica is pain that starts in the back and radiates down one of the legs. It is quite a common complaint and is

Spinal Manipulation Joint manipulation is used to help promote an optimum the tissue repair process through the various stages of healing. Tissues tend to recover and remodel consistent with the stresses placed upon them during the healing process. Some movement is required for the tissues to heal strong and flexible enough to allow normal joint movement and to adequately withstand physical loads placed upon the tissue. In each stage of repair, methods are used to lessen pain, reduce extent of injury, aid in remodeling of granulation tissue, break adhesions as they develop, and most important, attempt to prevent chronic joint stiffness and /or a potential chronic pain syndrome from developing. Spinal manipulation is most effective if it is used in combination with muscle therapy, correction and maintenance of proper posture, home and in-office exercises and stretching, and proper work and home ergonomics.

because the pelvis is what keeps everything in balance. If your pelvis is balanced, then the tension will ease off all the other areas. You can do this by lying down on the floor. Place your hand under each side of your pelvis where you would wear your belt. As you are doing this, notice if there is more pressure on one side or the other. If here is more pressure on one side compared to the other, then your pelvis is not balanced.
A. Ice - In the first 48 hours, you need to use ice to help reduce the inflammation which is around the nerve. This can help to stop it from getting worse. Use the ice for 10 minutes, then off for 10 and on again for 10 minutes. Keep doing this 2 or 3 times.

Sciatol really worked for me. After 2 weeks my shooting leg pain is gone and I feel so much better. Thank you!!!

Release Muscle Tension - There is a muscle called the Piriformis muscle. This muscle is usually the culprit when it comes to your pain. The sciatic nerve runs through this muscle and if it is tight, it will irritate the nerve and therefore, pain.

:Tip A.
Nerves are cord like structure which consist of several nerve fibres. Sciatic nerve is the largest nerve of our body which is also called as Great Nerve. It is around 2 cms in diameter. It arises from nerve (roots) plexus emerging from the sacrum (back part of hip bone). It comes out of the pelvis through greater sciatic foramen (opening) in the hip bone with piriformis muscle which unites hip joint and femur. From there it descends on the backside of the leg, deep into the gluteus muscles (buttock). It gives out branches tibial nerve and common peroneal nerve to supply medial and posterior aspect of leg.
Exercise Therapy Exercise therapy refers to the implementation of exercise with a specific goal in mind. An exercise therapy program may be supervised or unsupervised. Supervised exercise is usually part of a physical rehabilitative program. Patients may be provided with simple exercises, which they can perform at home. Home exercises are often provided to help improve flexibility and restore the strength required to stabilize a joint region. Some exercises are provided to help reduce the risk for injury or re-injury. A spinal stabilization exercise program is often used to strengthen muscles around the spine to reduce excessive or abnormal joint and spinal region movement patterns. Physical Therapy Physical therapy often includes the application of modalities such as ultrasound, electrical stimulation, heat, cold and iontophoresis in an attempt to reduce pain and inflammation. In some cases a combination of these approaches may be used. Manual approaches such as joint mobilization or joint manipulation may be applied during the course of physical therapy. The patient may be entered into a progressive exercise program to improve flexibility, muscular strength and endurance. The patient may be referred to an outside facility for aquatic therapy. Work Injury Rehabilitation Evaluation of the injured worker may require a functional capacity evaluation (FCE). The findings serve as a baseline of physical performance capacity at the workplace. If significant deficits are found a course of work conditioning/work hardening may be implemented. This involves the implementation of postural retraining and a course of specific exercises. Onsite or simulated job analysis may be recommended to help design the best therapeutic approach. An ergonomic or workplace assessment may be implemented to provide further insight into the rehabilitative requirements and to assist in the implementation of preventive measures. The practice of chiropractic and acupuncture is based on providing care without drugs or surgery. At LSRC, our doctors are well trained in disease prevention, clinical nutrition and the science of tissue recovery and repair. Our doctors understand the steps required to promote maximum musculoskeletal tissue recovery and repair and return you to an active lifestyle! "
Doctor If you want to get
nerve relief, then the best thing to would be to go to your doctor and ask him or her what you should do, and why aren't your exercises working. When you go to your doctor make sure to inform him or her of all the medications you have been taking or that you have taken in the past. This may have something to do with how your body responds to your treatments you are using to get your
Nerve Relief. There is no better way to find out what could possibly be causing you not to respond to your treatments than to consult with your doctor.
It has been proposed that acupuncture may stimulate a local immune response and also contribute to the release of special chemicals within the central nervous system referred to as endorphins and enkephalins, both, which are natural pain reducing compounds. Acupuncture has been used by millions of American patients and performed by thousands of physicians, dentists, acupuncturists, and other practitioners for relief or prevention of pain and for a variety of health conditions. After reviewing the existing body of knowledge, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration removed acupuncture needles from the category of ""experimental medical devices"" and now regulates them just as it does other devices, such as surgical scalpels and hypodermic syringes, under good manufacturing practices and single-use standards of sterility. Over the years, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) has funded a variety of research projects on acupuncture, including studies on the mechanisms by which acupuncture may produce its effects, as well as clinical trials and other studies. Dietary, lifestyle, and exercise recommendations may accompany the acupuncture approach.
The term
describes the symptoms of leg pain and possibly tingling, numbness or weakness that travels from the low back through the buttock and down the large sciatic nerve in the back of the leg. The vast majority of people who experience sciatica get better with time (usually a few weeks or months) and find pain relief with non-surgical
treatment. For others, however, sciatica can be severe and debilitating.

Bruce in Lake City, FL2016-09-07
★★★★★ - "My son, Chris, got a walk-in bathtub from Independent Home and I saw it. I then compared it with others to see if it's as good as his. I called Cameron, the tech guy and he took care of the purchase right off the bat. The installation team came in at eight o'clock and was out by 1:30. They worked as a good team and had to work with me because I have an electrical door and we had to move it out. They did a good job and I'll definitely recommend them."
Ralph in Niceville, FL2016-09-07
★★★★★ - "We got a Celebrity bathtub as that was the only one that would fit. I had no problem purchasing it and the experience wasn't too bad. The people who came over to install it were knowledgeable and courteous. They came and did what they had to do and everything went alright. They were around for about 12 hours that day. They left a bit of mess but I had somebody clean it, anyway. They also had to cut a section of the wall out to get the tub in. I'm just waiting for them to come over and take care of something, but other than that, I don't have any problem with it."

God Smokes Cuban Cigars
Thanks to the upcoming ban on smoking in public places, smirting may take France by storm. That's all Parisians need: another excuse to stand in the street in loving embrace.
Appreciating a glass of wine whilst enjoying a smoke may seem scandalous to budding oenologists, but the French have been doing this since foreign stereotyping entered the modern era. With France set to become the next European country to succumb to the anti-tobacco domino effect, however, French smokers are about to quite literally take to the streets.
The French sense of culture seems very much rooted in the earth that makes up the French territory. Perhaps because of its geographical position at the crossroads of Europe, the French notion of nationhood soon integrated the concept of the law of the soil (droit du sol in French, ius soli in Latin). On the ground, at street level, pounding the earth in public protestation has almost part of one's civic duties, la manifestation acting as a middle chamber between the lower house, l'Assemblée nationale, and the senate. And this can be done to great media effect, as the student demonstrations this year demonstrated.
What goes on in the ground has also helped define French culture. But far more goes on in the soil than the slow ageing of the elixir of life. Two years ago, a fully functioning cinema was discovered in the catacombs of Paris. The subterranean clandestine cinema covered an area of more than 300 square metres and even had a bar and restaurant area. This may all sound terribly romantic but burial dumping grounds are not particularly well-known for their air conditioned facilities or pavement terraces, so where did all the guerrilla cinema-goers light up? Perhaps they refrained from such a dangerous activity. Perhaps. But this seems doubtful.
Let me try and explore this point by staying beneath the surface of the earth, but climbing up from the municipal ossuary to 'the underground'; not the Paris subway system, but the hotbed of cultural and social resistance, or if you prefer the hush-hush version of street level defiance.
These literal underground venues can still be found in Paris, such as La Maroquinerie ('the tannery') in the 20th district. It was there that last September I went to see Hot Chip. It's an intimate place and ideal for seeing a band still high from Mercury Prize nomination but not yet charging over-inflated prices. Entrance to the venue is down a flight of stairs (as you would expect) and through a single door. A simple structure provides you with slightly elevated standing room if moshing in the pit isn't your thing.
The place soon filled out with a keen Parisian crowd doing what Parisians do best: smoking. It was then that it dawned on me that the elevated area I was standing on was made out of wood and that the solitary door doubled as both the main entrance and fire exit. And, of course, there were no windows BECAUSE I WAS UNDERGROUND! You may think that this type of reaction is extremely uncool of somebody at a Hot Chip gig. Well, I have no qualms admitting that I have reached an age that has put me firmly in touch with my own mortality (though not yet at the age where I have nothing left to lose).
I am myself a reformed smoker but for years I resisted giving up. "I'm no quitter!" I would shout at those who would scold my habit. Because I knew that the new century would bring with it a fresh virulent form of health fascism, I had a whole battery of weapons ready for my defence. I based my whole philosophy of life in the screenwritings of Robert Mark Kamen. Indeed, in my life little art has come close to offering me such insight as that which is given to us in Karate Kid. How can you deny the sagacity of Miyagi explaining to Daniel LaRusso the merits of personal focus?
Walk left side, safe. Walk right side, safe. Walk middle, sooner or later get squish just like grape. Here, karate, same thing. Either you karate do "yes" or karate do "no". You karate do "guess so"…
Either you smoke do "yes", or you smoke do "no". But you cannot smoke do "guess so". There was a time I would even laugh at the fate of relapsed reformed-smokers what with all their 'born-again do-goody tutting' every time you want to light up when they reform and all their 'ah wells' as if their surrender was unavoidable when they relapse. What did they expect – had they ever caught a fly with chopsticks? Of course not, so how could they expect to accomplish something so impossible?
That was then. Now I've given up cigarettes but allow myself the occasional Cuban cigar. Does that make me a smoker do "guess so"? Perhaps, though I would argue my interest in cigars lies in the aroma-enhancing experience they bring to a Bas-Armagnac. And because I think they make me look cool when out in fancy Parisian brasseries.
But French culture as we know it is about to disappear in a puff of non-smoke. As from the 1st February 2007, smoking in public places will be banned and France will join a growing list of European nations leaving smokers out in the cold. The first European nation to impose an outright smoking ban on all public places was the Republic of Ireland. From the 29th March 2004 it became illegal to smoke in anything from a pub to a company car on the Emerald Isle.
Hang on a minute. In 1991 Claude Evin, France's then Secretary of State for Social Affairs, ushered in an early version of a law banning smoking in all public spaces. So what's the difference between the 15 year-old loi and this new version? Well, as far as I can tell, not much. Except that this time we're assured that the law shall be enforced. If this is the case, then France's tobacco-consuming culture is set for a definite upheaval, undoubtedly more so than in Ireland or, indeed, Britain which also has recently voted in favour of an all-out ban.
When I first came to France as a young man 15 or so years ago, I was surprised to see perfect strangers stop each other in the street and ask for a cigarette. Cigarettes were considered expensive in Britain even back then, and this behaviour of casual sharing was something that was quite literally foreign to me. At the time, however, the gesture seemed to embody all the positive values of the cigarette: it was a symbol of solidarity and freedom. After all, when soldiers liberate an occupied people they offer cigarettes, don't they? Or they did once, didn't they? Soldiers in the Second World War were given cigarettes in their rations. Perhaps this was simply a romantic vision that played up to my bohemian expectations of life in France: sitting around a table talking about music and anarchy with the likes of Jacques Brel, Leo Ferré, Georges Brassens while we all shared a large ashtray. Okay, so I had been schooled at the University of Cliché, but I had also seen the photos of the holy chanson trinity taken in 1969 (http://www.georges-brassens.com/1969.htm) and from what I witnessed on the streets the sociability of the cigarette still seemed to hold true.
Since that time, however, taxation on tobacco has seen the average price of a packet of cigarettes shoot up by over 350 percent. Salaries haven't. And yet there are still those that will stop you in the street to ask for un clope much to growing annoyance. Once smokers have been pushed out of the bars and restaurants and quite thoroughly into the streets, then surely this will make for rich picking grounds and perhaps increased problematic encounters.
Mind you, this hasn't been the case in Ireland. The only tension there seems to be amongst groups of smokers standing outside the pub is sexual tension. Smirting – a mixture of smoking and flirting – has sprung from the arbitrary contact between sexually active people who are brought together by their habit. There is no doubt that the shared addiction takes both the cringe and sleaze factors out of those opening chat up lines. And according to the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe, more young women in Ireland smoke than men, so it would seem that things are looking up for Humphrey Bogart wanabees.
Of course, Serge Gainsbourg was already singing about the amorous effects of smoking back in '80. In his song Dieu est un fumeur de havanes, a duet with the smouldering Catherine Deneuve, God is a smoker of Cuban cigars who even smokes at night just like Serge:
Dieu est un fumeur de havanes
Je vois ses nuages gris
Je sais qu'il fume même la nuit
Comme moi ma chérie
And after being chastised by Deneuve for bringing tears to her eyes (all dodgy double entendres fully intended), even Serge has to admit that smoking is heaven in more ways than one:
Dieu est un fumeur de havanes
C'est lui-même qui m'a dit
Que la fumée envoie au paradis
Je le sais ma chérie
Indeed, the heart attack that killed Gainsbourg was undoubtedly brought on by his chain-smoking and this just two months after the 1991 loi Evin was ratified – albeit not enforced.
But perhaps romance hasn't been dragged out of smoking just yet. Smirting may well be set to take France by storm. That's all Parisians need: another excuse to stand in the street in loving embrace. The question that remains is what the French will call smirting -- can I be the first to suggest drumer (from draguer to flirt and fumer to smoke)? Although in this globalised age, I'm sure they'll go with a Frenchified version of the verb smirter which pronounced in the French way actually sounds quite naughty.
In the meantime, I'll feel a lot more comfortable at underground gigs come next March.

The new mobile app JaxFerry tracks arrival and departure times for Jacksonville's river ferry.
Mobile apps continue to launch to help connect commuters to public transportation like buses, subways and trains. The same goes for a new mobile app launched on Oct. 1 in Jacksonville, Fla.
But instead of ground transportation, the app keeps individuals informed on the city's ferry schedule.
The new free app called JaxFerry, available on iOS and Android mobile platforms, provides real-time information on the ferry's arrivals and departures. The ferry, which travels across the St. Johns River, carries riders from two local river ports: Ft. George and Mayport.
According to the city's user interface designer Sherry McGuire, the app, designed in-house, has an interface that displays five basic screens: ferry, ports, schedule, fares and alerts. When tracking the ferry's schedule, the app displays information like estimated arrival times and scheduled departure times in two formats. For example, one arrival time may be viewed as "11:15 a.m." or arriving "11 minutes" from now.
To track its location, an auto-vehicle locator unit installed on the ferry determines which way the vessel is headed. By having up-to-the-minute data, City Councilman John Crescimbeni said the information available on the app can help ferry riders plan their travel routes more efficiently.
"The whole desire of this app was born out of, 'How do we overcome that guessing game?'" Crescimbeni said.
Currently the ferry's ridership averages about 250,000 individuals a year, and for commuters who need to travel across the St. Johns River, taking the ferry (an approximately 15-minute ride) and traveling by car are the only two options. Drivers need to take a 26.5-mile detour to access a bridge to get to the other side of the river.
While the city is not specifically aiming to reduce traffic congestion, connecting more individuals with real-time ferry information could steer commuters away from traveling over the river by car, according to Jacksonville CIO Usha Mohan.
Prior to the app's launch, McGuire said ferry information like fares and schedules were listed on the city site, but the site did not offer live tracking of the ferry's location. Already, the app has had about 1,000 downloads, the vast majority of which were downloaded to iOS devices.
The city's other efforts in the app development space include the launch of JaxHapps. The mobile app went live earlier this year and gives users an inside look at what's going on around Jacksonville including information on local sports, music and cultural events.

Hey everyone, I was wondering if someone could reccommend a Mandarin school for me in Shenzhen. Actually a lot of people have told me to try Hanbridge Mandarin (they seem to offer a lot for not that high of a price), but I just want a second opinion. Thanks

So in the hunt for doing some cool auto-tweeting and other social mashup related tricks, I found this amazing new service (currently in public beta) called dlvr.it. I'll post more on this tool at a later time, but for now, I want to explain how I managed to use their API to create an custom affiliate link shortener for YogaHub.
It all stemmed from the constant need for affiliates to be able to create their own custom redirect links (which many services have already.)
I wanted to create something both elegant, yet simple to use and easy to understand, because many of the affiliates in the health and wellness space are new to the concepts of affiliate programs and doing a lot of fancy footwork with links isn't their strong suit.
At the core of the YogaHub Affiliate program is an incredibly powerful affiliate tool called Post Affiliate Pro (PAP). Their link structure for a basic custom URL redirect looks something like this:
So essentially, the click.php page is looking for a 'desturl' to redirect the visitor to once the affiliate cookie has been established.
So I setup a basic web form in php to first ask the user (the affiliate) where they want to send the traffic to (aka, what web page on the Network of YogaHub sites.)
Next, I pass this URL variable to step 2 of my php script, along with their [AffID] which I've already established because in order to use the tool, the user must first be logged into their affiliate account.
Then for security measures and to ensure everything is working, I have the affiliate double confirm their affiliate ID and then press the 'Confirm ID & Create Short Link' button.
From here, I then post the fully encoded PAP link directly to the dlvr.it API via a plain text post method and they shoot me back a nifty little short link like this:
And finally, with a few quick DSN CNAME changes I was able to map my own custom URL producing a sweet affiliate link such as:
As far as I can tell, there's no limits to the number of API calls I can make and with this community I don't think we'd come close in either case.

Sun CEO Explicitly Endorsed Android's Use of Java
The original blog post was dug up by Groklaw, and in it, Schwarz, back then the CEO of Sun, congratulates Android with its use of Java technology. "I just wanted to add my voice to the chorus of others from Sun in offering my heartfelt congratulations to Google on the announcement of their new Java/Linux phone platform, Android. Congratulations!" Scwarz wrote November 5, 2007.
"I'd also like Sun to be the first platform software company to commit to a complete developer environment around the platform, as we throw Sun's NetBeans developer platform for mobile devices behind the effort," he continues, "We've obviously done a ton of work to support developers on all Java based platforms, and were pleased to add Google's Android to the list."
"With friends like Google and Red Hat, it sure seems like the momentum behind Java's on the rise…" he concluded.
Now, what does this mean? Well, obviously this isn't in any way a contract or a patent license, but it could be used for something else: estoppel. Estoppel is a funny word which – very crudely stated – comes down to past actions of the accuser limiting the scope of the claims made against the defendant. As Groklaw explains:
You hear the statement, and in reliance on the message the statement conveys rely on the statement to your detriment. (You incorporate the technology and, as a result, allegedly infringe the patents.)
I then try to enforce the patents against you but am barred from doing so under the doctrine of estoppel. (I cannot now deny I encouraged the infringement in the first place or at least led you to believe it was okay.)
This is not an easy argument to make, Groklaw notes, but Google has already added it to the Oracle v. Google case. The fact that Oracle deleted the blog post while the trial is still ongoing certainly won't play to the database vendor's compliment; judge Alsup already blasted Oracle for doing something similar earlier on in the case, using things like trade secrets to keep evidence from the public eye.
"The big companies do not own the US District Court. When it comes to a public hearing I'm not going to resort to Morse code to figure out what you are saying," Alsup told Oracle's lawyers, "This is not a wholly-owned subsidiary of Oracle. Nobody is going to put my word under seal even if I refer to your secret documents."
All in all, it would appear Oracle's case is growing ever weaker, no matter how many blog posts to the contrary Florian Mueller keeps churning out.

Phil Sturgeon has posted a reminder about this year's CodeIgniter Conference San Francisco for 2012, happening August 11th and 12th at the Citizen Space.
So only two months until the return of CICONF to America! Last year was CICONF2011 NY which was a great experience. There we announced the availability of CodeIgniter on GitHub, released CodeIgniter 2.1-dev and saw over 50 pull requests get made to CodeIgniter by developers trying to win my iPad. Then we had CICONF2012 in London, and now it's off to San Francisco for more CodeIgniter nerdery.
He also mentions speakers that will be presenting at the event including Aaron Kuzemchak, Calvin Froedge and Kenny Katzguru. He'll also be speaking, giving a session (no update on what it'll be about though).
If you're interested in attending the event, you can find out more information on the conference site (and order your tickets!)

Working with the Media: Letters to the Editor
Letters to the editor can be effective in influencing public opinion and legislators' views. The "Letter to the Editor" section is one of the most widely read parts of the newspaper and offers a chance to reach a broad audience. Letters to the editor can provide readers with information and insights on issues with which they may be unfamiliar, and can also inspire readers to take action.
- Keep it brief. Keep letters to 250 words or less. Discuss only one issue in a letter. Many newspapers will edit letters. Keeping the letter short will help ensure that the newspaper does not edit out important points.
- Get to the point. Start with a compelling introductory sentence. Follow the introduction with short, clear, factual points. Don't make broad statements you can't back up with facts. Focus on what is most important rather than trying to address every aspect of the issue.
- Relate it to home. Newspaper readers care about how an issue will impact them or their families locally. Including brief information on the economic or other impacts of an issue in the community will draw readers' interest.
- Personalize the issue. Provide an example of how the issue impacts a real person in the community to help readers understand the issue and encourage them to take action. Avoid submitting "form" letters.
- End with a call to action. Ask readers to follow up, such as joining in calling on policymakers to address the problem at issue.
- Be timely. Try to place letters when they will be most effective. For example, letters supporting or opposing legislation will have the most impact when legislators are considering the issue.
- Be professional. Letters should be typed or neatly handwritten and should follow the submission rules of the particular newspaper. Language should be polite but persuasive.
- Identify yourself. Sign the letter personally. Include any information highlighting your expertise on the issue. Provide contact information, including an address and daytime phone number so the newspaper can verify the letter's authenticity.

Procurement awards
Taking top honors at the European Supply Chain Excellence Awards is an accolade often reserved for private sector companies such as UPS, Unilever or Virgin. As one of Europe's most prestigious supply chain prizes, these Awards are given each year to organizations that have achieved the highest levels of performance and innovation in their supply chain operations. This year, UNDP, in partnership with the Chartered Institute of Procurement and Supply (CIPS), was recognized as an outstanding example of best practice and named the winner of the Training and Professional Development Award.
UNDP and CIPS accepted the European Supply Chain Excellence Award for Training and Professional Development in London on November 6, 2012. This Award is in recognition of the Procurement Certification and Training Programme developed by the Procurement Support Office (PSO, UNDP) in cooperation with CIPS, and its success in professionalizing the public procurement sector.
Foremost, this Award is a credit to the field. UNDP's programme delivery is made possible in over 170 countries by a worldwide community of procurement professionals. Total procurement volume in 2011 was US$2.67 billion (47% of total UNDP expenditure), and with the UNDP/CIPS public-private partnership delivering critical training, the procurement network is able to secure the goods and services needed to realize UNDP's vision of empowering lives and building resilient nations.
Since its inception in 2010/11, the Procurement Certification and Training Programme has received invaluable support from Resident Representatives and Country Office staff. It is thanks to this commitment that the Programme has been such a successful professional development opportunity for UNDP. In addition, it is a first for the UN system. From an initial focus on certification within UNDP, the Programme has expanded to include participants from 25 UN partner agencies as well as hundreds of government, non-governmental organization and development lending institution staff. Creating a cadre of professional procurement staff has allowed UNDP to drive the One UN agenda by using the same curriculum and approach across agencies. Read more about the Procurement Certification Programme here.
The impetus behind this Programme was clear. In UNDP, procurement volume has doubled four times in five years. Complexity and risk have also increased significantly, and UNDP has been required to handle this change with very similar staff numbers and resources. In effect, improving procurement professionalization and capacity – doing more with less – was the only way forward.
Receiving the European Supply Chain Excellence Award is a testament to how quickly and how broadly this Programme has delivered results. In UNDP alone, first time acceptances of contract committee reviews have increased significantly, delegation of procurement authority has risen, and procurement case turn-around times have shortened. The strategic focus on procurement has shifted from a compliance exercise to a value-adding business function.
In this context, the Procurement Certification and Training Programme will continue to support accountability. Having the Programme as a "driving license" for UN procurement staff creates a community of externally-accredited procurement professionals. It also fosters stronger relationships with Civil Society organizations to boost procurement capacity among national partners. UNDP is now uniquely positioned to expand our work on capacity development with partner governments, and to support key UNDP programmatic objectives through supply chain improvements.
Winning this Award is a ground-breaking accomplishment for UNDP, and it identifies the UNDP/CIPS partnership as the standard-bearer for training and professional development programmes in the humanitarian sector. Congratulations to all involved!

ZachsMind's profileMember since: 14 July 2002
ZachsMind has posted 41 links and 1889 comments to WHEDONesque.
Name:Zach Garland
Location:Dallas Texas, USA
This entry is 18 February 2014. Everything below this paragraph is several years old. Most links probably don't work. I'm leaving it here now for sentimental reasons, but I should update it. My email address above still works, but tweeting me @ZachsMind would probably work faster. Nowadays I occasionally still blog at WordPress. ZachsMind dot com crashed many years ago. Perhaps if anyone tells me they actually saw this, that might give me incentive to give it a facelift, but frankly I don't spend a lot of time in here anymore. Not like I used to. It's great to see it's still here though. Whedonesque lives.
ZachsWhacked is ZachsMind's DVD commentary for the third episode of Joss Whedon's Firefly series: Bushwhacked was written and directed by Tim Minear.
For more of my Whedonesque essays and ramblings, please check out my Online Journal, or 'weblog' which I understand is the newfangled term. You can also find some of my Buffy Fan Fiction there. Aside from Whedonesque of course, some of my personal favorite Whedonesque Websites include but are not limited to:
- WhedonWiki which is a Whedonesque sister site.
- All Things Philosophical on BtVS and Angel. Explains extensively the depth of these two series.
- The Annotated Buffy collates fan comments and facts that reference the series.
- The BuffyVerse Dialogue Database distills the words of the best written shows in the history of television.
- Buffy Trivia Guide which is, y'know, trivia about Buffy.
- BuffyOlogy covers a lot of territory.
- Hell Mouth Central, a little hard to navigate, but chock full of salty goodness.
- Photo Know-how which I believe is by Alyson Hannigan's very first fan: her father.
- BuffyWorld's Music Page lists the music used in the Buffy tv series.
- BuffySex a simple flowchart of who kissed who and who did who.
- Firefly Fans Dot Net one of the best unofficial fan community sites
- Browncoats! The official Serenity Movie website.
- Firefly Chinese Pinyinary for those learning to prounounce dirty mandarin phrases badly.
- TwizTV's collection of Firefly Scripts.
- Random Firefly Quotations is rather self-explanatory.
