One of the responsibilities of leaders is to help their teams not only plan for the future, but anticipate it. I spend a great deal of my time helping business leaders see that future in the larger market context beyond just their own industry. Here's a small glimpse into what I believe the next five years will look like in the world of selling:
1. There will be fewer traditional sales people
The market forces of digitization, mobilization, and purchasing governance are going to dramatically change the ways in which buying and selling occur. This will transform the role of the traditional sales person and diminish the need for that position. That does not mean that there will be fewer jobs per se in the world of revenue generation, but those jobs will be different than that from what we now call "sales." Here's why:
- Less prospecting--Traditional direct prospecting methods will have lower yields to the point that sales people performing direct prospecting will become cost prohibitive.
- Fewer client meetings--Prospects and clients will have less time and interest in considering new vendors and going through the traditional face-to-face presentation cycle for considering providers.
- More structured purchases--The procurement process, purchasing department, and online auctions will continue and expand in use to include smaller size contracts.
- Disintermediation--Buyers will seek additional ways to go direct to providers and manufacturers, diminishing the need for and use of manufacturer reps, dealers, and distributors.
- Leveling the playing field--Buyers will turn more items that have been considered value add into minimum requirements thereby decreasing the need for involved explanations and comparative analysis.
The net of these trends will be fewer sales people on the road calling on clients directly.
2. The focus of buyers will finally shift from price to integrated outcomes
This may sound like good news at first, but, the reasons that this will occur need consideration.
- Competitive pricing exercises will have squeezed out what is available in margin discounting. This means that other than spot quoting, more products and services will be treated as commodities and will thus be included in structured purchase processes.
- Commodities that have standardized COGS will be "traded" not bought and sold. This means that the activity of quoting will replace the more traditional roles of sales people who provide needs assessment, solution matching, and price justification.
3. The roles in the revenue generation chain will become more specialized.
These roles will include, but not be limited to:
- Traders--Although not titled as such, this will be the role of many of the people with sales titles. Their real role will be to facilitate quoting of commodities and near commodities in the roles titled "Account Management," "Inside Sales" or "Customer Service."
- Designers--Solution architects will continue to be in high-demand for opportunities in which the prospect has been qualified for a diagnostic session. Customization and tailoring of pre-packaged and modular solutions will be the choice for companies who want to limit the risk and cost of completely built-from-scratch approaches.
- Project Management--This function of collaborative coordination between customers and providers including all of the supply chain management, enterprise resource planning, and logistics will grow in importance for the larger contracts in the market.
- Lead generation--This area will continue to evolve as the technologies adapt to the filters and barriers organizations put between buyers and your revenue generators. Social media, outsourced meeting makers, earned media, and other mechanisms are entering and developing in the market for the single purpose of getting higher up the food chain in the buying organization as a way to bypass the structured purchase.
4. Compensation for sales people will change significantly
As the partitioning of the sales process and subsequent specialization of roles occurs, the commission-based compensation for selling will also change. This will mean a move to less commission-only and high-commission compensation models and more of a salary and bonus model with compensation more broadly shared by all of the participants.
5. What will not change
- Urgency or perceived urgency will trump process. When clients have real problems in a hurry, they will eschew all formality to solve a problem now. Companies that are positioned effectively for rapid response in the marketplace will be able to capitalize on opportunities.
- Evaluation of prospects will continue to drive fast-growth company decisions. Smart companies do what they do best, and avoid doing things that will stretch them beyond their capabilities. An effective Target Filter will be crucial to continue to sort through the dearth of leads and glean only the high-value opportunities.
- Guarantees and proven speed to results will still earn a higher price than similar commitments over longer time periods. Companies in the market continue to move closer to Just-in-Time mentalities around need satisfaction, and JIT has moved closer to "NOW" than ever before.
- Communication skills at all levels will be valued as companies align their business development organization with the prospect's purchasing organization. Effective and efficient written and verbal communication is a greater requirement when other differentiators have been commoditized.
- Trust will still be more important than bona fides. At the end of the day, buyers have to trust the company that they are going to work with because it is the buying group's collective careers that are on the line if they get it wrong.
In the world of sales, much of the above is heresy. However, when I look at the companies who are growing in the top 10 percent of their industries, many of the changes described have been embraced and implemented. This picture of the future is incomplete, of course. It is also not absolute. There will continue to be direct prospecting efforts, just less. There will continue to be traditional sales people and approaches, just fewer.

I only have 5....
I find it hard to see the purpose of this ...Each World has its own alliances, which can only be established after some time. And sometimes you go bankrupt and must start over again.What will happen to the alliance page in the time when the alliance does not exist?
Presumably this proposed permanent alliance feature would completely replace the current system? And if so, that would mean that anyone wishing to form an alliance would need to pay to do so?While I can see where you're coming from, I am against a feature that would involve removing a current feature and replacing it with a something that demands recurring fees, especially in a subscription-based game that already requires a one-time fee to join.I do love the rest of the idea, though.
- Permanent alliances are always active with an active private forum all the time, even if not a single member is part of any game world.
- When alliance, permanent, is formed the privaet forum is formed and selected members join the membergroup to have access to this forum.
- When a new game world starts, I guess the system should auto-create a new subforum under the private alliance's forum for that particular game world? - When a new game starts, it automatically forms the new alliance to this game world, but without members so far. (ie. alliance is pending)
- When a member joins the game world, and if he is part of a membergrop of permanent alliance, he is noted at airline founding page that he will be a member of said alliance.
- However when the alliance becomes active is still unknown. After 6 months? Do the members join the alliance when they have enough planes one by one, or how. This is a bit tricky.
- What would be the rules in forming a permanent alliance. How about rules dissolving it.
- Costs; the bank system etc talked above seems very complicated. Why just not draw like 2Cr from each alliance member per month for the ability to be part of an alliance. Flat fee, charged once a month (1st of each month for the starting month), non-refundable (ie. if you leave in the middle of the month the 2cr have been paid)? It is very simple to add to present billing system. And one-time setup fee of 3x 2Cr (2Cr from each of three required initial members) to make sure the alliances are not set up without properly thinking of it since it probably will require manual admin work to set them up (since there will be less than 10 of these overall so no need to make the creation fancy and automated) A fee also makes sure that the people are just not hanging out there but would use the sim too.

How does the industrial Stroller Hook manufacturer change the market downturn
Because industry development is not equal, push industrial coupling widely, the phenomenon of the low threshold, low quality, everyone with a low quality low price products to create profits, this from one hand to bring down the industry development speed, push the industrial development is more and more difficult, coupling manufacturer. Push the coupling at the same time our country industry is in a bottleneck period, all kinds of industry pushing coupling, universal wheel products in all walks of life, such as slump, in social and economic progress, and industrial demand is gradually reduced, which is caused by the low threshold reasons for pushing coupling manufacturer does not produce a lot of industry, make the market appeared a lead to the phenomenon of sale of product.
How industrial push-car hooks transform:
Should push industrial coupling from the technology to market in the future, can't just rely on labor and waste of resources for survival, should be more scientific research and innovation on the road again increase investment, and, after all, talent is the first productive force, mastered the innovation and talent, there is mastery of the market. The process of industrial economy in the United States clearly shows us that industry, including industrial wanxiang industry, is relying on talent to replace the original model.
Domestic industrial Stroller Hook enterprise situation:
At present, the domestic high and low-end industrial Stroller Hook manufacturers emerge endlessly, and the number of low-end enterprises overrides the high-end enterprises, forming the situation of the confrontation between chu and han. Push the domestic high-end products mainly to shun coupling, universal coupling to the main representatives of high-end brands, mainly concentrated in guangdong and other places, and low-end products in hebei province as the main market, mainly on behalf of the crown peng coupler; Whether it is a high-end product brand or a low-end product brand, it has captured a certain amount of market share, as well as a part of the company that is also a part of the industry.
Future development direction of industrial Stroller Hook manufacturer:
Enterprises such as industrial Stroller Hook manufacturers should change the situation of preempting the low-end market and look to the high-end market. Whether to buy industrial coupling, or industrial castor wheels, only through continuous research innovation, create brand exclusive products, to improve product added value and profit, real forming quality, superior bad discard good situation to promote the healthy development of the industry. We can quickly develop enterprises to become rich and prosperous, while also creating high profits and high returns.
At present the industry push coupler market due to a large number of generation processing push coupler small workshops and price competition makes the market chaos, and during the first should control the pace, to determine the direction of enterprise development to the market under the impact and,
We all know that we've seen a lot of Stroller Hooks in our lives, whether it's in the factory or in the office, even at home. The Stroller Hook can be divided into two categories: the movable hook and the fixed Stroller Hook, and these two categories cooperate with each other in our lives. If you look closely, you will notice that there are sometimes separate movements of the car's hook, which can also be used separately, while the two are also common. So this shows that there is a collaboration between fixed and activity. And the matching proportion of the push-car hook in cooperation with each other has also affected the use of daily life to some extent.
4 activity Stroller Hooks:
Because of the four activity Stroller Hook, in small space also can change direction freely. But instead of carrying heavy objects, if the road is tilted, the operation will be hard and not conducive to the long haul.
Movable hook
2 movable hook + 2 fixed push-hook:
In general, when the wheel of a car is assembled, it is easy to choose easily and easily with small force. But there are also advantages and good performance in the front assembly of the trolley. If it is a light heavy duty car, it is suitable for the front assembly of the moving wheel, and the heavy duty truck is equipped with a push-hook for the rear assembly.
Movable fixed Stroller Hook
2 movable hook + 2 fixed push-hook:
The fixed Stroller Hook is set in the center, can rotate freely in the small space, and if it is installed with a larger diameter than the wheel of the wheel, the trolley will be a scale and can be rotated more easily.
Fixed activity Stroller Hook
4 activity Stroller Hook + 2 fixed push-hook:
The fixed Stroller Hook is set in the center, can rotate freely in the small space, and if it is installed with a larger diameter than the wheel of the wheel, the trolley will be a scale and can be rotated more easily. The installation of wheels has more stability in the long haul movement.

In the year 1999 I purchased a new ASW22BL after taking a leave from soaring for 15 years. The first shock I had in purchasing the ship was that it cost three times what my first '-22 cost in 1980, and the second was that it had basically the same performance. What I realized was that in the open class of competition sailplanes there had been no significant improvements in performace for the last 20 years, while the other sailplane classes had made significant performance increases from advances in both aerodynamics and structures.
After numerous discussions with my close friend Gerhard Waibel, we decided it was possible to build a new open class (NOC) sailplane that would have a measureable performance increase from the ASW22BL using modern aerodynamics and structural materials. Prior to this NOC we first wanted to verfify many of our ideas in aerodynamics and structures on a test sailplane, so the ASW22BL became our beta ship. Items such as handling qualities with new vertical and horizontal tail volume coefficients, new airfoils, an air extraction system, retractable tail wheel, high modulus materials, etc. were all part of the program needed to verify our ideas for a NOC. After talking with Edgar Kramer of Schleicher and Loek Boermans of Delft and persuading them to support us in the project, we proceeded to go ahead with it in the year 2000. The following presentation highlights some of the ideas and results of this program. Somewhere along the adventure, Gerhard and Hans Werner Grosse named the ship the "Eta Biter" and the moniker stuck.

GLA airfield
Aircraft production and maintenance
|The following is based on Generals cut content and has not been confirmed by canon sources.
The GLA airfield is a cut building from C&C Generals. It was used to build and repair aircraft by the GLA, and while its design is rather interesting, it was removed simply because the developers did not want the GLA to have aircraft Likely because they lack in technology compared to their rivals.This building still exists in residual files.
Trivia[edit | edit source]
- The Airfield was revamped and included in the Zero Hour mods Rise of the Reds and Contra.
- It will likely be restored or remade in the new Command & Conquer game, as GLA aircraft can be seen in trailers and promotional images.

Not sure if I have made it known to many of my fellow nerdy types, but I really don't have a lot of love for Lord of the Rings or Star Wars, save for nostalgic charm. Most fantasy with elves / dwarves / in default LOTR is at least a soft pass for me. Weirder fantasy with mushroom people or fusion-pollution is fine.
My thing is more giant monsters, westerns, old school horror stuff like the wolfman, mashup stuff like the fallout universe, red dead and skyrim type stuff to put in a video game lore perspective.
I like some contemporary authors like Tim Powers, Charles Stross, David Wong and Jim Butcher – but even those are best taken in light doses.
Other "Nerd thing" I lack is the binge reading of the same stuff without a break. I prefer to alternate different authors or genres as I read. I dont mind binging video / tv shows though for some reason. I could watch 3 kaiju or kung fu movies in a row no problem.
Ready Player One was not my jam. i look forward to seening a video mashup of the nostalgia wank callbacks in the movie, though.
I am officially in superhero and zombie burnout. I'll very likely happily return to both sometime after a bit of a cleanse. I still want to see the Black Panther, but I could have done without 2 out of the 3 Thor movies seen.

Devil's Rejects (2005)
Mike Matei / October 31st, 2009
April 8, 2010 at 7:45 am
Such a sick film anf yet it's so great.
April 9, 2010 at 4:18 pm
Haven't seen this one and House of 1000 Corpses, but I did see Zombie's two Halloween movies which I feel is horror's guiltiest pleasures!
In 2009, we did get not one but two different horror films that broke the mold of crappy horror films and made horror great again. I'm of course talking about Sam Raimi's Drag Me to Hell and last Halloween's Paranormal Activity. Maybe for the next Monster Madness, it would be a nice way to cap it by talking about those movies!BurningDiscipleProductions
April 9, 2010 at 9:21 pm
i agree tht devils rejects is far better than house of of 1000 corpses but i wont go to say i dont like house of 1000 corpses its a very good movie on its own but when you compair it to devils rejects tht just not fair haha i also wanted to ask if anyone else felt like the end was a bit similar to the shinings end
fire ax
screaming *shrugs*
when i was watching it my mom walked in during the maid finding the body and then geting hased to the highway xD she was like "how do you watch this" and i was like "with popcorn"nightbladehawkeye
April 15, 2010 at 5:09 am
I like House of 100 Corpses but Devils Rejects is even more amazing.
Like you said – they did horrible Things to People but when the Sherrif acutally caught them you see that he isnt the Good Guy in this Movie.Strazdas
April 20, 2010 at 5:26 am
i like rob zombies production, and this movie was great. too bad he went downhill with his halloween remakes.darkcrow
April 21, 2010 at 8:42 am
fucking love this movie 😀
rob zombie rocks!
totally agree with everything james says bout it.
love the ending tooLovecraft
April 26, 2010 at 3:13 pm
Looking forward to this years monster madness.frstefan
April 28, 2010 at 1:45 pm
ok im confosed who is the bad guy(s) and who is the good guy(s)?Crowbar
June 2, 2010 at 7:46 pm
It's funny that the names of the characters come from different Groucho-Marx-roles. Someone was a fan, I guess :>
June 7, 2010 at 3:59 pm
Two ideas for future Monster Madness reviews, Dog Soldiers and Pumpkinhead. just a thoughtmurphy2112
June 7, 2010 at 4:38 pm
Dude, you gotta do Trick or Treat. A horror movie for metalheads? Gene Simmons as a radio DJ? The Prince of Darkness Ozzy Osbourne himself as an anti-rock n roll evangelist? A devil-worshipping rock star resurrected by playing his last recording backwards? Yes. Just fucking yes.
\m/ [-_-] \m/WatchmenFTW
June 30, 2010 at 1:18 pm
Shit, this film is wierd, I wouldn't wanna watch this. I think the Sheriff is still the herp, despite his psychotic breakdown at the end.
Also, for future Monster Madnesses, could you review Pumpkinhead, the Blob, Dog Soldiers, all the Michael Bay remakes of horror films (just to see your opinions) and some Stephen King films like Carrie, It, Christine and Cujo.WatchmenFTW
July 21, 2010 at 2:21 pm
Also James, could you review the Predator movies (even though their more action than horror) and the Invisible Ray with Boris Karloff and Bela Lugosi.
July 25, 2010 at 9:14 pm
First, I love this movie. One of my favorite movies ever. Second, regarding this decade, you missed High Tension and The Descent. High Tension is about two young women travelling through Europe, at the beginning. The Descent is like Aliens underground.
Cannot wait to see next year's madness.KaneInsane
August 12, 2010 at 5:28 pm
Hi James im KaneInsane, I love your AVGN Videos and Horror reviews. I have two horror films for you to review if you choose to 1. Terror Toons and 2. The Last House on The Left. You rock and I respect all that you do keep up the good work buddy.BOBtheBarbarian
August 29, 2010 at 8:15 pm
This is a great movie, we need more writers and directors that are out to make movies that are original and artistic. This is a very unique movie in that it really shows you these horrible serial killers in a way that seems normal and, I mean you really become to like these characters even though you see the horrible shit they do, and in the end you really feel for them as they're getting shot to shit, and your rooting for them and not the cops. Overall as a film it's pretty amazing, unlike the first one where, some of it was good but it dragged on and wasn't anything amazing, but still a good horror.

can't wait for the MADNESS to happen tomorrow!!!!!!!!!
January 15, 2011 at 2:15 pm
huh I just wanna say that i love that movie never saw it in such a "deep" way before but wow its awesome. i really like the feeling that your actually a sick person just for watching it (in my opinion) i was about 10-11 when i watched this movie and i still love it its a great one…ODST
January 31, 2011 at 2:01 pm
i loved this movie so hard!!! i actually felt like if the murderers were the heroes… and when the sheriff got his neck broken, me and a friedn of mine who watched this movie actually started with hardcore cheering and let up a high five…. man was this a masterpiece!!!marupage83
May 13, 2011 at 9:14 pm
am i the only one who cryed during the ending
July 12, 2011 at 6:52 am
This was the most fucked up movie i've seen in my life. It left me with a bad feeling for days. I guess it did what it was intended to doShannonElena
September 10, 2011 at 2:26 pm
What is the music played at the very beginning? It's driving me crazy trying to figure out where I know that song from!Entropy3ko
October 7, 2011 at 1:26 pm
House of 1000 Corpses sucked monkey ass….
… but The Devil's Rejects is awesome… by far one of the best horror movie of the past 10 years and a true jewel in a sea of bland unenterataining 'horror' movies.
I'm not really a fan of Rob Zombie (music or film) but I think he did a truly awesome job on TDR.
Also there is a good balance of comedy and drama.
BTW I somewhat have the feeling that Ho1000C is a 're-imagining' of Texas Chainsaw Massacre (the originale) and TDR is a re-imagining of TCM2.
I do not know but I see a lot of parallels (for example both in TDR and TCM2 there is a crazy sheriff who goes apeshit against the psycho killers)Elvenking

i absolutely loved this movie, great review…
April 29, 2013 at 10:25 pm
You were confused about who was the good/bad guy? I never felt the slighest amount of pity for those 3, in fact I was hoping they'd get even more torture. How could you possibly feel sorry for them after all the things they did? I find that line of thinking scary.pobO
July 28, 2013 at 10:54 am
Shit movie.
Just a bunch of white trash tards torturing innocent people.
And no I never ever sympathised with any of the three.

Maybe Rob could do a friday the 13th? I like his style. The kills in the new one were kinda lame: deer horn kill 🙂Tad Parsons
April 28, 2014 at 6:30 am
I respect James' opinion, but this film was average at best. It's shallow, pretentious, and the interactions between all the characters are mostly annoying. Rob Zombie's wife is annoying. I think that pretty much covers it.
July 26, 2014 at 8:46 pm
Rob Zombie had a unique way to flip every routine emotion you had towards a movie. These are bad guys, hate them… wait now you think they're funny, now you think they're evil again… now you feel bad for them.
Here's a cop going after killers, he's a good guy. Now he seems crazy but his intentions are good, nope! Now we think he's the bad guy. That unique way of telling a story, a story you'd think you've heard a million times somehow seems completely original and that makes this movie stand out. It's a damn good horror movie.Sid
September 8, 2014 at 5:24 pm
This movie is the shit! I made my boyfriend at the time go see it with me in theaters. I'd already seen it once or twice. He was scared and REALLY upset with me. Fucking pansy. We broke up soon after.
October 23, 2014 at 6:22 pm
loved this film, i still find myself siding with the sheriff, they got what they deserved, too bad the sheriff got offed. they are monstersfcabanski
October 29, 2014 at 4:55 am
Only a fool is carried to and fro by his emotions. All the people in this movie are evil.
March 27, 2015 at 4:42 am
I liked House more for awhile because House felt like a perfect movie for Halloween Child's Play 1 & 2 also are perfect movies to watch around Halloween, must be the dark Humor but this one got better with time.chris jackso
August 19, 2015 at 2:56 pm
hey you have to do Hobo with a Shotgun. horror or not, its fucken terrifying!
September 30, 2015 at 5:02 am
I saw this in theaters and thought it was a terrible movie through and through. Didn't deserve any praise for any part what so ever. Maybe you think I'm overly critical, but it didn't deserve any praise as a movie what so ever. Its tribute to texas chainsaw massacre was pathetic and nothing but a stolen idea that didn't play out well. The ending made me sick. That any one would try to paint them in any light as heroes was disgusting.
I love me some horror films, but this wasn't a horror film. It was just bad.Ethan Jones
October 7, 2015 at 9:17 pm
Rob Zombie did a good example of how deep down inside we are all bad guys in our own special way.
December 30, 2015 at 3:59 am
I loved this movie… it's harder now to say which one I like more, out of this or House of 1000 Corpses, this one's way sicker. I could comment on it all day.Jacob Boeve
May 28, 2016 at 12:12 pm
The Devil's Rejects was so much better than House of 1000 Corpses..That one was just horribleJustin Forsythe
June 12, 2017 at 1:55 pm
When Forsythe (hey, that's my name) kills them every thing he does is almost a direct response to something they've done. So, it's hard to feel sorry for them.

Hello Bentley,
While calculating Spread it is necessary to provide road cross slope, Gutter slope and longitudinal slope in catch basin flex table and road cross slope and gutter cross slope in gutter flex table twice or it is sufficient if we only provide in catch basin table?
Please find the following attachment.
Hello Hari,
There is a property "Same as Start Node" in the gutter properties which defines that the geometry would be same as the Start Inlet. In such a case the road cross slope, gutter slope and longitudinal slope provided a the inlet would be used. If the geometries differ you can specify these fields independently. Here is an article which explains this in detail;
Why does the gutter need to be defined in both the catch basin and gutter element?
Hope this helps.
Yashodhan Joshi
Bentley Technical Support
Hello Yashodhan,
Thank you so much for the information.Is the length of the gutter matters the spread results?
Also, does this program look for the pipe invert and catch basin invert (weather matched or not) while calculating spread? Because my pipes invert and catch basin inverts are flying though it is calculating spreads (However, I assigned correct parameters like rim elevation and all slopes whatever needed for spread calcs).
Hari Dhungel said:.Is the length of the gutter matters the spread results?
The length is considered because we are also specifying the longitudinal slope of the gutter which is factored in the calculation of spread.
Hari Dhungel said:does this program look for the pipe invert and catch basin invert (weather matched or not) while calculating spread?
Are you designing the inlets? If so then the design alternative will size the length of the inlet in order to meet a minimum inlet efficiency or capture percentage. The longitudinal slope is calculated from the invert levels at the upstream and the downstream catch-basins and the length of the gutter. In the spread calculations longitudinal slope is factored in. The program will not consider the connection or matching of the pipe invert and catch-basin invert as the spread calculations are dependent on the gutter hydraulics and not the pipe / conduit hydraulics.
Answer Verified By: Sushma Choure
Thank you so much.
Great help for me.

What is a Sacrotuberous Ligament?
The sacrotuberous ligament is a ligament of the posterior pelvis that is situated alongside and that runs roughly parallel to the sacrum at the base of the spine. Connecting the sacrum to the ischium bone of the pelvis, it helps to stabilize these bones. Also known as the posterior sacrosciatic ligament, its fibers blend with those of several other tissues, most notably the tendon of the biceps femoris muscle, a major muscle of the hamstrings on the back of the thigh, as well as the fibers of the posterior sacroiliac ligament. The sacrotuberous ligament also is a ligament of the sacroiliac joint, a synovial or movable joint linking the sacrum to either iliac bone of the pelvis.
This ligament, a dense bundle of connective tissue consisting largely of collagen fibers, originates about midway down the back side of the sacrum, a stacked bone at the base of the spine consisting of five fused vertebrae. Contained entirely within the pelvis, the sacrum supports the weight of the spine above and transfers it to the pelvic bones: the ilium to either side of the sacrum, and below the ilium, the ischium, and pubis. The sacrotuberous ligament begins on the sacrum, crosses the medial or inner border of the iliac bone — thus crossing the sacroiliac joint — and attaches to the tuberosity of the ischium bone.
At the lowest point on the pelvis, the tuberosity of the ischium is a thickened portion of this boomerang-shaped bone. Found where the bone curves in the middle, the tuberosity, one on either side of the pelvis, is often referred to as the body's "sit bones," as this is the structure upon which one's weight is placed when sitting. The sacrotuberous ligament connects to the tuberosity, thus helping to link the sacrum to the pelvis, even though the sacrum does not actually come into contact with any pelvic bone but the ilium.
One of five ligaments holding the sacroiliac (SI) joint together, the sacrotuberous ligament is considered one of two extrinsic ligaments of the joint. This means that it does not cross the joint directly but only indirectly maintains joint integrity. It does have a role to play, however. Along with the other extrinsic ligament of the joint, the sacrospinous ligament, it is responsible for controlling the motion of nutation, or sacral flexion. In other words, it limits how far forward the sacrum, in conjunction with a similar motion of the iliac bones, can flex relative to the ischia below.

May is Mental Health Awareness MonthMay 17, 2016
About 1 in 5 Americans will be affected by a mental health condition in his or her lifetime.
Every American is affected or impacted through their friends and family and can do something to help others, according to the National Alliance on Mental Illness.
The City of Lakewood's Department of Human Services, the Lakewood Area Collaborative and the Lakewood Senior Collaborative believes that mental health is as important as physical health. "We are dedicated to creating a compassionate community where we create space to hold conversations related to mental health and promote positive mental wellness for all residents," said Katie Kurtz, clinical manager for the city's department of human services.
During the month of May, the city's department of human services has planned various activities and collaborations to help promote positive mental wellness for seniors in order to celebrate and honor Mental Health Awareness Month.
"The purpose of this initiative is to increase positive, overall wellness among the older adults we serve and increase visibility of our senior center services in the community," Kurtz added.
The city is partnering throughout the month of May with Nature's Bin, North Coast Health, Beck Center for the Arts, NAMI of Greater Cleveland, ESOP, Dr. Georganne Vartorella, Greater Cleveland Volunteers, and Hospice of the Western Reserve.
Take a look at the attached flyer, highlighting a listing of programs we are hosting in the month of May. Note: these activities are not replacing any regular scheduled programs and activities.

Young women who used sunless tanning products said they spent less time working on real tans in the sun or under ultraviolet lamps, survey results showed.
The survey of 415 young women in the Atlanta area indicated that, among those who reported using sunless tanning products as well as natural tanning, 37% said they had decreased their intentional sun exposure, according to Suephy C. Chen, MD, of Emory University in Atlanta, and colleagues.
A similar percentage (38%) reported spending less time in tanning beds as a result of using the sunless tanning products, the researchers wrote online in Archives of Dermatology.
Chen and colleagues concluded that sunless tanning products are probably beneficial for young women who seek the tanned look, insofar as a significant percentage cut back on their UV exposure as a consequence.
Action Points
- A survey study has found that young women reported decreased tanning in the sun and use of tanning beds if they used sunless tanning products.
- The perception that tanned skin was more attractive remained prevalent in this survey.
"As the appearance of sunless tanning product tans continues to be improved, [the products] carry the potential to further decrease intentional UV radiation exposure and, subsequently, the risk of [UV-related] skin cancer," the researchers wrote.
Whether the use of sunless tanning products affects consumers' natural tanning behaviors has been an open question. Some observers have speculated that these products would be an adequate substitute for "real" tans. But others have argued that, by validating the tanned look as something desirable, the products may actually encourage more UV exposure.
Chen and colleagues developed an in-person survey that asked about attitudes and behaviors regarding suntans and sunless tanning products and offered it to 448 young women on the Emory campus and neighboring locations during the summer and fall of 2007.
The response rate was 93%. Respondents' mean age was 28 (SD 12), with about half belonging to sororities where the survey had been distributed. Persons with naturally dark skin were not excluded -- 62 respondents had skin color rated as brown, dark brown, or black.
Overall, 201 respondents said they were current users of sunless tanning products. More than 60% of this group said they believed tans are usually or always more attractive and they felt better with tanned skin.
Among nonusers, not surprisingly, such responses were less common. Only 38% said tans were more attractive and 35% reported feeling better with tans (both P<0.001 relative to users).
Multivariate analysis indicated that these and other factors were significantly associated with sunless tanning product use. Other factors included the following (all P<0.05):
- Heavy use of UV-based tanning (sun or artificial): odds ratio 1.92
- History of skin cancer: OR 3.37
- Light versus dark complexion: OR 5.22
- Medium versus dark complexion: OR 3.25
Medium-complected respondents tended to be more keen on tanning than those with light complexions, the researchers indicated -- more likely to say that tans were attractive, that they felt better when tanned, and that they tanned in the sun or tanning beds.
Nearly 90% of the respondents who used sunless tanning products also pursued UV-based tanning, with nearly all reporting that they tanned in the sun and about 36% saying they used tanning beds.
Chen and colleagues found that greater use of sunless products was associated with reduced natural tanning.
Respondents who reported having used sunless products at least five times in the previous year were about three times as likely to say they had decreased sun-based tanning (52% compared with 18% of users with lower frequencies of use, P<0.001).
Similarly, 52% of those using sunless products at least five times said they had cut down on tanning bed use, versus 24% of less frequent users (P=0.002).
Reasons cited by nonusers of sunless products for avoiding the products included dislike of product streakiness or its color, as well as "indifference" about tanned skin, the researchers indicated.
As one might expect, few respondents with naturally dark skin used the products (nine of 62).
Among the study's limitations, according to Chen and colleagues: the survey was not distributed randomly but rather in certain locations, such as sorority buildings and fitness centers, that might have been enriched in tanning devotees. Consequently, the sample may not be representative of the population at large, or even of the Emory community.
Also, the methods were liable to recall bias, and the survey itself mistakenly contained overlapping choices for the frequency of tanning behaviors, including sunless product use. Data collection in 2007 is another limitation, the researchers indicated, insofar as attitudes toward tanning may have changed since then.
"Despite such limitations, this study provides valuable insight into how sunless tanning products are affecting UV radiation tanning behavior," Chen and colleagues wrote. "It also adds to the growing body of literature documenting the pervasive perception that tanned skin is more attractive than untanned skin, even in the setting of increasing awareness of the risk of skin cancer from UV radiation exposure."
The researchers added that, as long as such attitudes prevail, sunless tanning products "may be a practical means of reducing intentional UV radiation exposure."
The study had no external funding. Study authors declared they had no relevant financial interests.

Over 75% of pulses produced in India is milled to produce dhal. This article gives a detailed account of the dhal milling industry in India with technical details of the methods available for de-husking and splitting the grain. A comparison is made between wet and dry milling methods in relation to local varietal and seasonal factors. Major deficiencies are excessive dependence on sun drying, laborious methods, inefficient and wasteful equipment, and absence of dust prevention and infestation control. Improved varieties of pulses and new processing techniques are required and could greatly increase existing yields of dhal.

I love homemade Christmas tree ornaments, don't you?
When our older kids were in public school and our twins went to mother's day out, every year they made homemade ornaments. This was always a treat and I have always cherished them! I have ornaments my oldest, who is now 15, made when he was three years old. They are gorgeous on our tree!
I am going to show you how to make these beaded ornaments in 20 minutes! Super easy. Matthew (5) and I had a blast yesterday making them!
- 6mm x 9mm large pony beads OR a bucket of these perler beads
- 4 mm x 7mm small pony beads OR a bucket of these perler beads
- metal Christmas themed cookie cutters
- hot glue gun and hot glue sticks
- bakers twine
- cookie sheet
- parchment paper
Gather up all of your supplies.
Preheat your oven to 400°.
Line the cookie sheet with parchment paper.
Lay out the cookie cutters on the cookie sheet.
Have little hands begin to fill each cookie cutter with beads.
We did a combination of small and large.
You can arrange colors, for example when making snowman eyes and nose.
For the candy cane we just used cream and red beads. We did not put them in any order.
For a Christmas tree we just did all green and then one yellow bead at the top of the tree and a red bead here and there for lights.
You can use a toothpick to make this a fine motor activity for kids. The toothpick does make it easier to fetch specific colors from the bowl.
This is how we spread them out on the cookie sheet.
Super easy.
Now you are going to pop them in the oven for 15-20 minutes.
Once they have melted, remove them from the oven and let the cookie sheet sit to cool.
Once they are cool to the touch, apply pressure to the inside of the bead creation and pop them out of the cookie cutter. This is defiantly a grown up job or a job for older kids.
The backside of the ornament is flat and the side you want to present at the front of the ornament.
On the back of the ornament apply a dot of hot glue.
Take 5 inches of twine and make a loop with it to serve as the ornament hanger.
Super easy!
Look at how gorgeous this is.
Matthew was so proud of himself for helping me make these ornaments.
We are going to make more and send them to grandparents!
If you would rather use perler beads here are supplies to consider.
Do you love making homemade ornaments together as a family at Christmas?
