Life History
Black sea bass (Centropristis striata) are split into two stocks but together are found along the Atlantic coast from the Gulf of Maine to the Florida Keys. The northern stock is located from the Gulf of Maine to Cape Hatteras, North Carolina while the southern stock is located from Cape Hatteras, North Carolina to the Florida Keys. Black sea bass have a unique life history in that they are protogynous hermaphrodites, which means they begin life as female and then change to male once they reach age 2 to 5 or when they reach 9 to 13 inches in total length. During the spawning season, dominant males develop a large nuchal (nape of the neck) hump, whereas subordinate males do not and are typically smaller in size. Spawning for the northern stock typically occurs offshore on the inner continental shelf during the months from May to July. Juveniles and adults move nearshore during the summer. Seasonal migration is common for black sea bass (north of Cape Hatteras). Black sea bass have a maximum age of 12 years. They are likely to stay near rock pilings, wrecks and jetties and prey on fish, crabs, mussels and razor clams.
Black sea bass (north of Cape Hatteras) are popular commercial and recreational fisheries in the mid-Atlantic region. Commercial fisheries landed 388,858 pounds of black sea bass in North Carolina (north of Cape Hatteras) which had a value of $1,222,998 in 2017. Commercial landings for black sea bass were consistent from 2008 to 2016 with the exception of 2010 to 2013. This value increased in 2017. Low landings during 2012 to 2013 were due to excessive shoaling of Oregon Inlet which limited the number of trawl boats able to land in North Carolina. Annual black sea bass commercial landings in North Carolina (north of Cape Hatteras) averaged 180,969 pounds since 2008 (Figure 1). The winter trawl fishery (primarily flounder trawls and flynets) has been the main commercial fishery for black sea bass in North Carolina (north of Cape Hatteras) for most years since 2008. North Carolina fishermen also land black sea bass from pots, gill nets, long lines and rod and reel (Figure 2).
Recreational fisheries harvested 13,062 (19,448 pounds) black sea bass in North Carolina (north of Cape Hatteras) in 2017. Recreational harvest declined from 2008 to 2016 but increased in 2017. Harvest typically occurs from spring (May) to winter (December). Annual black sea bass recreational harvest in North Carolina (north of Cape Hatteras) averaged 8,274 fish and 12,502 pounds from 2008 to 2017. Released numbers were much higher and averaged 79,642 fish (Figure 3).
In North Carolina, black sea bass (north of Cape Hatteras) are included in the North Carolina Interjurisdictional Fishery Management Plan. This plan defers to the Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission and Mid-Atlantic Fishery Management Council Summer Flounder, Scup, and Black Sea Bass Fishery Management Plan for compliance requirements. Management measures include commercial state by state quotas, with North Carolina allocated 11 percent of the total quota. Other commercial measures include minimum mesh sizes for trawls and a moratorium on new entrants to the fishery. Minimum fish size limits and seasons exist for both recreational and commercial sectors, and bag limits are used for the recreational fishery. In February 2014, in accordance with Addendum XXV, the Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission management board approved the use of regional management for the black sea bass recreational fishery. Addendum XXVII (February 2016) extended ad hoc regional management of the black sea bass recreational fishery for the 2016 and 2017 fishing years. However, with the passing of Addendum XXX (February 2018) the 2018 recreational black sea bass management will operate with options for regional allocations that require uniform regulations and other alternatives to the current North/South regional delineation (MA-NJ/DE-NC). Black sea bass (south of Cape Hatteras) are managed by the South Atlantic Fishery Management Council.
Stock Overview
The 2016 black sea bass benchmark stock assessment used a spatially explicit age based statistical catch at age model using the age structured assessment program. In 2015, the fishing mortality rate was below the threshold reference point and the spawning stock biomass (the amount of spawning females in the stock) was above the target reference point so the stock was not overfished (the number of mature females in the population is not too small) and overfishing (the rate of removal from the population is not too high) was not occurring. A stock assessment update has been scheduled for early 2019. No juvenile abundance index value is available for black sea bass in North Carolina (north of Cape Hatteras).
Research Needs
Research needs include investigating adult migration patterns; examining age structured models; age validation; establishing a consistent fishery independent survey of black sea bass adults (fish pot or hook and line surveys) and juveniles (ocean trawl surveys); collecting fishery dependent age and sex data from the fisheries; genetic research; studying habitat use, spawning dynamics and catchability; research on rate, timing, and occurrence of sex change; examining sex specific models; and establishing tagging programs.

Would you believe me if I told you during the preseason that James Conner, Javorius Allen, Austin Ekeler, TJ Yeldon, Nyheim Hines, and Latavius Murray would be top 25 running backs in PPR leagues heading in to week 9? No, and I would love to see an expert that had any ranked that high. The overall state of the running back position in fantasy is one for its own article. Unless you went RB heavy during your draft, we should change our expectations for RB 2's and flex RBs.
With the amount of teams deploying an RBBC (running back by committee) the value for the backup running back exceeds more than just a 'handcuff.' You will hear that rostering your handcuff is not worth it but the names above would say otherwise. Even though some of the players below are not sexy acquisitions don't let that prevent you from insuring your team for the championship run. Keep this in mind as you question if you should roster a Giovani Bernard or Nyheim Hines. There is value in owning your handcuff even if they are the clear #2.Please, blog, may I have some more?

Welcome to the second edition of Lefty's Leftfielders – if you missed last week's write up on Nick Riewoldt I am trying to find a few players for your team that you may not have considered previously- and help you find that early season unique that goes bang!
This week on Lefty's Leftfielder's is Swan's tough little bugger Craig Bird.
Name: Craig Bird
Club: Sydney Swans
Position: Fwd/Mid
Price: $354,300
Argument For
In 2012, Bird played all 22 games for an average of 69 (including 3 vested games of 19, 38 and 80)
His 3 best regular season scores in 2012 were 127,113 and 97 with another 4 scores in the 80's.
Hang on a minute – that's only 7 scores of 80+ from a bloke who played all 22 rounds in 2012 I hear you say? Why is Lefty talking up this bloke for a starting gig in his squad for 2013?
Here is the logic behind my selection.
Bird started the 2012 season in a flurry with scores of 127, 82, 87, 97 and 113. That's an average of just over 101 and certainly has him in premo forward territory. Even more important is who this run of top form was against – including GWS and North – and how he plays these same teams in rounds 1 and 3 in 2013.
By all reports he is injury free and having a 'best ever' preseason (mind you who isn't!) and I don't see anyone at Swans putting pressure on his spot (Ben McGlynn is injured again and likely to miss the start of the season)
Something else to note is Bird's form in the Prelim and GF last year. Scores of 88 and 79 may not sound super impressive but he was a serious contributor in the finals series and finals games are generally not high DT scoring affairs due to the contested nature of the games.
Most importantly of all, Bird plays his 3 best scoring teams in the first 3 weeks – GWS, Gold Coast and Nth Melbourne.
The swans first 4 games in 2013 and Bird's 2012 scores are:
|Bird's 2012 scores
|127, (plus a 38 scored in 1 qtr due to being sub)
|80(started as sub!!)
|Nth Melb
|97 (104 and 91 in previous years games also)
|73 and 59
So if Bird maintains his form against his first 3 opponents he will be averaging a tick over 100 after the first 3 rounds. Priced at a 70 ppg he has the potential to not only gain you valuable points in the first 3 rounds but also make you some serious cash by round 5. I know I said it last week in my write-up, but the seeming lack of forward rookie options this year has me scrambling to find highscoring forwards in the mid-priced/fallen premo price bracket.
I see Bird as definitely in the Swans best 22, and barring injury see no reason he can't continue his progression into the ranks of rotating mids/half forwards.
Argument Against
Bird was the starting sub in 3 games last year which is always a horrible result for your supposed 'secret weapon'. Nothing is worse than sitting down, opening that first cold frothy on a Saturday arvo and flicking on the TV to see your man wearing green and heading to the pine.
He occasionally gets the forward tagging role which can result in some poor scoring games, and his disposal isn't not elite so I doubt he would be the 'first choice' handball receive.
Bird is capable of some low scores – unsubbed returns of 42, 45 and 47 in 2012 illustrate this and I will be monitoring his role very close after the first 4 rounds.
Lefty's Call
With the aging Swans on ball brigade of ROK and Bolton surely having to slow down soon, I see Bird joining the likes of Hannebery, Jack, JPK etc in the midfield this year on a more regular basis. I see a bit of Scooter Selwood in the way Bird has been handled to this stage, and will not be surprised to see him freed up more often this year. He averages over 4 tackles per game which is a handy 16 point start so once he concentrates on finding space a bit more he should take more marks and provide more link-ups between defence and attack.
Bird has also increased his DT average every year since he debuted 5 years ago which is another tick in the pick me column in my book!
I am hoping for a 100 point average over the first 3 weeks and will assess after that – I believe an 80+ point season average is certainly achievable in 2013 and he may end up proving a great F7/M9.
I don't think it is any secret St Kilda and Sydney have very friendly starts to the year with GWS and Gold Coast games, and I am looking to maximise my chances to gain points and cash with under-priced forward and mid players from those clubs.
So there you have it – the second of Lefty's leftfielders. Hope it makes you at least consider Birdy for your starting squad, once again I reckon the 2 trades per week rule makes a guy like this a lot more appealing than in previous years.

Discussion in ''How To' & 'Handy Hints'' started by felixqld66, Jan 19, 2008.
He's Italian.
Whata for the gauges?
yes the speedo sign 10 km less than the really velocity... but the in origin sign 10km plus for the real satellite speed...
and that's it! you are the real velocity and the speedo don't need to recalculate!
iv seen some sunraysias sandblasted and galvanised or electroplated zinc, never rust again
is it true you cannot get 112 sunraysia wheels anymore ???? to suit bay or T4
Nope, try speedy wheels or king wheels.
Hey guys just tried to read through this whole thread and there's lots of great info but I just don't 'get' it all.
Basically I'd like larger wheels to take up more space in the well at the standard height for regular highway driving, but have enough comfort and clearance for unsealed and bumpy roads through National Parks. Can anyone make a suggestion?
I run 16" setup ( see a few posts back) not too big a wheel that you have very little rubber, keeps the road and bumps at bay, rather than a 17 lower profile set up which will feel more, I used to run 14" wheels and the difference up to 16" as long as you keep the rolling diameter correct is a nice fit.
Great thanks Dubman, I'll do a bit of research into 16's then
Ive read through all on this thread, but it still confuses the crap out of me haha.
I have a set of Empi Raiders 15", and looking to put them on my 1970 bus. Every tyre place i call seems like they dont want my business etc etc cant help me or advise me too much because i drive a vintage volkswagen (Tyre guy: "Oh, we've had problems with those before") .
I obviously want to keep it legal, with load rating etc, which tyre size can somebody please recommend, without the tyres being ridiculously chunky and silly looking, im after a lower profile tyre if possible. Note my bus is lowered 4 inches or so on an adjustable beam. Would a 185/60/15 or 195/60/15 be unsuitable or?
Thanks for any help!
Your never going to get a load rated tyre that small, from memory a 195/60/15 has a load rating of 90ish.
The LI only needs to be about 93 I think. Somebody here worked it out properly. Col?
need to check weight of maximum loaded axle . not sure off top of head re the 70
by weight on late bays its 94.
if you were to go by the 1.1 rule [converting from LT]?on roads literature I think it went to 97.
personaly I run at 94 or anything higher but as Jon said probably scarce in [read N/A] sizes mentioned.
qn is .
whats original tyre fitment?
whats width and offset of originalt rims
whats width and offset of replacement rims?
maximum loaded axle weight?
plated tyres for the year?
Would anyone in authority (insurance, RTA , Police etc.) actually know either?
Yeh i was worried about that. So does that mean owners with tyres that are obviously not load rated are voiding their insurance or running illegal tyres?
What is a suitable size for a 15 x 5.5 raider wheel for a 1970 van?
Wasnt particularly after that exact size, just the tyre sizes off another bus. Thanks for any help!
I agree, in the vast majority of cases absolutely no idea and wouldn't look unless there was a reason .
but my perspective is that if you have the info or correct tyres then they have no grounds for argument .
owners choice re what they bother with.
I have low tolerance for bureaucratic morons.
its extremely rare to have slightly non conforming tyres picked up but can happen. there are cases of insurance assessors and / or companies acting analy to the point of actualy denying claims illegally but I would expect it is rare on tyres unless they had reason to think they were non conforming or just wanted to fail the claim.
In such cases they would likely look to the placarded tyre type but I believe that could be argued under transport modification rules.
there are arguments over tyre choices but my personal minimum considerations are a tyre rated for the vehicle weight and speed will avoid most concerns re legal issues .
[legaly you are meant to tell insurers of modifications under term of disclosure. Doubt that minor mods that are allowed as non notifiable under transport guidelines need to be declared but if in doubt check with insurer for piece of mind.]
plus it needs grip.
I haven't checked the details but-
your basic qn is what tyre size
Think the original was a bias or cross ply at 7.00/ 14
radial option. 185R 14
In 15"a LT replacement that people are happy with and ticks all boxes legaly plus appears to have good grip is http://toyotires.com.au/tyres/light-commercial-tyres/item/21-h08
or look for a passenger tyre that has a load rating of 93 or higher based on rear axle weight of 1300kg. [divide x2 for tyre rating, ie 650kg]
if worried about non LT and want to comply then multiply by 1.1 [ I don't but that's your call]
195/70/15 is close to the original 185R 14 [185/82/14] for diameter [OD]
keep in mind you want a tyre with grip.
I suspect the reason for some people running smaller profile tyres is for front body clearance on heavily lowered vans??
Thanks so much!
Yeh that is part of the reason, could always go a little lower! haha, plus i just dislike the look of chunky rubber on a beautiful set of rims.
Just asking around as im sure theres plenty of kombi owners out there with 15inch wheels such as BRM etc that are fine.
I couldnt really get much help out of a tyre place i went to, maybe have to try somewhere else too.
a 3" drop wont be a prob as far as im aware with [ok on late bay] those tyres.
smaller OD looks worse as it doesn't fill the wheel arch as much so lowering looks better
if you want the low profile look you will need to go to 17" . ie 17x7 et around 30. 235/45/17 tyres which are common and easy to find good ones at reasonable prices and high load ratings.
about 10mm smaller OD than stock
it would pay to check with owners of the early bays before doing that as there may be slightly different dimensions on the geometry of front than the later bay. I have them on late bay with no issues
and, Yeah, many tyre places no idea or just stick to official line
Can guarantee that if ANY was not standard or exceeding standard specifications then insurance companies will use it as a way to not validate your claim.
Has anyone actually had this happen? Are any Kombis on here actually legal? Would the insurance companies actually know what is legal?
Yeah I had a customer a few years ago insisting he only have tyres that met all the criteria on his placard due to a aborted insurance claim.
I reckon insurance companies have smart people working for them Phill...
Separate names with a comma.

Zurich, February 1, 2018
RobecoSAM, the investment specialist that has focused exclusively on Sustainable Investing (SI) for over 22 years, today announced the publication of "The Sustainability Yearbook 2018". The Yearbook showcases the sustainability performance of the world's largest companies and includes the top 15% per industry, which are awarded Gold, Silver or Bronze Class medals.
RobecoSAM has analyzed the corporate sustainability performance of the world's largest listed companies every year since 1999. The assessment for the 2018 Yearbook looked at 60 industries from 43 different countries – close to 150,000 documents were examined and over 2,200,000 data points were collected on financially material ESG criteria. The Yearbook therefore provides a telling picture of every industry in terms of ESG performance.
Number of Yearbook companies increases despite fierce competition and tougher assessment criteria
This year, 479 companies qualified for inclusion in the Yearbook, that is 9 companies more than last year and reflects companies' efforts to push the boundaries of sustainability practices despite fierce competition from industry peers, and tougher ESG assessment criteria. 73 RobecoSAM Gold Class medals, 78 RobecoSAM Silver Class medals and 118 RobecoSAM Bronze Class medals were awarded to the evaluated companies. From a regional perspective, the greatest number of companies included in the Yearbook and the most RobecoSAM Gold Class medal winners continue to be located in Europe.
|Companies Included
|Gold Class Medal Companies
|1. Europe
|2. Asia Pacific
|3. North America
|4. Emerging Markets
|81 2
Aris Prepoudis, CEO, RobecoSAM: "We have entered a period of change where investors, governments, institutions, and companies are rising to face global challenges head-on. As the interest in generating positive impact grows and the ambition to achieve the UN Sustainability Development Goals (SDGs) becomes more widespread, sustainability thinking is not only becoming more sophisticated, but also critical for companies to consider. The companies included in The Sustainability Yearbook 2018 are moving the needle and will help us realize the SDGs. I congratulate them whole heartedly for their achievement and encourage them to continue pushing the boundaries of the status quo toward a more sustainable future."
Daniel Wild, PhD, Head of Sustainable Investing Research & Development and Member of the Executive Committee, RobecoSAM: "Year after year we have seen an increasing number of companies actively participate in our Corporate Sustainability Assessment (CSA). This not only speaks to the growing importance of materiality for companies seeking to assess their ESG performance, but it also highlights our leading position as a sustainability standard-setter. At RobecoSAM, we take a holistic approach to assessing a company's ESG performance. We do not only look at a company's operations, but we also assess the impact of companies' products and services to identify companies that excel in ESG and demonstrably contribute toward achieving the SDGs."

Labor plans to cap private health insurance rate increases to 2% for two years, which could save a families an average of $340.
In a statement on Sunday Bill Shorten and the shadow health minister, Catherine King, said Australians were being "ripped off" by premium rises that had averaged 5.5% over the past 10 years.
In addition to the two-year cap Labor, if elected, will ask the Productivity Commission to review private healthcare focusing on its value, quality and affordability.
Malcolm Turnbull has accused Shorten of "desperately making up policy on the run" and said Labor "wants to destroy private health insurance".
The announcement follows Shorten's warning to private health insurers at the National Press Club on Tuesday that "business as usual is not cutting it" and that premium increases were "out of control".
In January the federal health minister, Greg Hunt, announced the government had approved an average increase in private health premiums of 3.95%.
Although the government heralded the rise as the lowest since 2001, Labor has used private health costs increasing at more than double the rate of inflation to argue the rising cost of living is out of control at a time when wages are stagnating.
Some 13 million Australians have private health insurance – many who earn more than $90,000 take out insurance to avoid the Medicare levy surcharge.
The sector has been subject to a rise in complaints. Customers are concerned about the large out-of-pocket costs and the difficulty in comparing policies. In 2016-17 customers paid $4bn more in premiums than they received in benefits.
Private health insurers make $1.8bn in profit before tax and receive $6bn in public subsidies through the private health rebate.
Labor estimates that the two-year 2% cap will save singles an average of $143, a young couple with no children $290, a single parent $264, a family $344 and an older couple $347.
Turnbull noted that Shorten had first "floated the idea of rolling back or abolishing the private health insurance rebate" before ruling it out this week. He said the tough talk on private health had become "rolling embarrassment" for the opposition leader.
Turnbull told ABC's Insiders that insurers were "private companies" that operate "in a very competitive market". He said Labor "hates" private health insurance but that it supplemented and supported the public system.
The chief executive of private health insurer nib, Mark Fitzgibbon, said Labor's plan was an overreaction and an attack on the free market.
"That a future government would seek to set prices in any highly competitive market is absurd," he said. "This may be politically popular but it's an affront to how the free market operates. What next? Food, clothing, car insurance, school fees and petrol?"
Earlier in a statement Shorten and King denied the charge that Labor wanted to "destroy" private health insurance, saying that it "plays an important role in Australia's world-class health system".
"But under Malcolm Turnbull, Australians are questioning the cost and value of private health more than ever," they said.
"The Turnbull government is failing to address this crisis and help Australians with the affordability of private health insurance, and as a result, people are walking away from private health altogether".
"Labor is choosing to put Australian families first, instead of the interests of the multibillion-dollar private health industry."

If the injured person was, where he or she wasn't imagined to be, or somewhere he or she should have expected the sort of activity that caused the accident, the one who caused the accident won't be liable because that person had no "duty" to be careful toward the injured person.
If the injured person was also careless, his or her compensation could additionally be reduced by the extent such carelessness was also to blame for the accident. This is often referred to as neglect.
If a negligent person causes an accident while working for somebody else, the leader may be legal to blame for the accident.
If an accident is caused on property that's dangerous as a result of it's poorly engineered or maintained, the owner of the property is responsible for being careless in maintaining the property, no matter whether or not he or she really created the dangerous condition.
If an accident is caused by a defective product, the manufacturer and merchandiser of the product are each liable although the injured person does not know which one was careless in making or permitting the defect, or exactly how the defect happened.

Gotabhaya addressing troops as then defence secretary. Fonseka (right)
Sri Lanka's former defence secretary, Gotabhaya Rajapaksa, who was implicated in the use of white vans to carry out enforced disappearances and killings with impunity, rejected the allegations at a conference in Kandy on Saturday.
"I don't have a single white van," Gotabhaya was quoted by the Daily Mirror as saying.
"Mahinda Rajapaksa Government never took revenge on individuals or implemented the law against those who are innocent," he said, despite credible and widespread evidence of the Rajapaksa regime's brutal crackdown on critics.
Highlighting the prominent role played by Muslims, Gotabhaya added "we had a fortified intelligent service back then which helped us in defeating the terrorism. Most of our intelligence officers were Muslims. It was their contribution which led to the war victory."
"Sinhalese, Tamils, Muslims and others; they all face problems. There are continuing discussions about specific issues faced by the Muslims and Tamils but these discussions have only been limited to mere election propaganda. Our citizens need a substantial income, a school for their children and employment opportunities. These issues do not see ethnic or religious differences. However, our leaders trying to show to the Tamil community that these issues are because of the Sinhalese community when in truth we all face these issues. We need to address these basic issues first."
In an interview with Al Jazeera last year, Sri Lanka's former, war time army commander and then minister, Sarath Fonseka said white van abductions were orchestrated under the command of Gotabaya Rajapaksa.
"I had very good tight control of the military. But there are other people like some in the police, some in intelligence agencies who prefer to please this man and join hands with him [Gotabaya Rajapaksa the previous defense secretary]," Fonseka.
A 2014 report titled, "An Unfinished War: torture and sexual violence in Sri Lanka", detailed the use of white vans in abductions, based on sworn affidavits from 40 victims, 20 men and 20 women, who testified their experience of abduction, torture, rape and sexual violence.
We need your support

Despite the risks, our team on the ground remain committed to providing detailed and accurate reporting of developments in the Tamil homeland, across the island and around the world, as well as providing expert analysis and insight from the Tamil point of view

Cameron Brock Sends Insurance Companies Running for the Hills
Insurance companies are driven by a desire for profit. Entering into a written agreement with an insurance company often means pages of convoluted fine print designed to confuse the purchaser and protect the company from having to meet their legal resonsibsilities. However, an insurance company's chief opposition is not its consumers, but rather the lawyers that represent them. The Law Offices of Burg & Brock has developed a reputation among insurance companies in Los Angeles as being an aggressive personal injury firm that tirelessly fights for the rights of accident victims.
Founder Cameron Brock, a successful motorcycle accident lawyer, has managed his firm to thousands of legal victories since its start in 1996. Brock is a highly skilled head injury lawyer with experience in a wide variety of practice areas, including brain and spinal injuries, slip and falls, burn injuries, dog bites and much more. With locations all around the Los Angeles area, the Law Offices of Burg & Brock is staffed with a capable team of knowledgable clerks, talented paralegals and exceptional associate attorneys.
When taking the fight to the insurance companies, it is essential to secure the services of a dependable personal injury lawyer. Los Angeles already has a reputation for being filled with phonies, and insurance companies can smell them a mile away. If you or someone you know has been the victim of a vehicle accident or product liability scheme, stand up for your rights and call the Law Offices of Burg & Brock right away at 888-509-2998.

Hi, i just started using the Manager. its well designed.
i have a big question. imagine i have already 1000 items in the inventory, i created another 50 new items by copy/paste from spread sheet. Now i want to make an offer for those new 50 line items, i want to pick this 50 items in one step without searching 1050 items from the total inventory. How to d this.
in simple words every time i have to create new items in inventory and i want the those items only to the Offer. how to do this
Hi, i just started using the Manager. its well designed.
you will have to save the inventory items with something to identify in the field 'ITEM CODE' or 'ITEM NAME'.
for example, the new 50 items can be given a prefix like NEW in the item code or item name followed by any numbers or the actual item name. so when you pick the item for invoicing etc, just type NEW in the item selection field and all the items saved with this prefix will be shown.
This way you can select them easily without searching through your whole inventory items. I am not sure if there is a possibility to select all the 50 together.
Thanks Sharp, Thats a simple good method.
Ok, i checked this method, but is not the solution. because there is no mechanism to fill all line items with one similarity. Each line item have to be searched and populated.
Instead there should be a new-field which should take a common charactor of item code and populate all items from inventory to offer sheet.
manager does not know what item needs to be selected. its the user who needs to select the items necessary.
are the 50 items you wish to enter a group of items or separate line items?
50 seperate line items for one enquiry.
i went through 1 full cycle of transaction, its really good and the option of user inputing the reference is the best, so any company can use their own method of naming/numbering. beautiful.
Creating inventory is easy operation as it allows copy/paste from spreadsheet.
whats really annoying is populating the Offer/sales quote template,
to populate 50 to 100 line items in to the Offer, its lengthy by going each line item, filter and pull the data. Can some one add a method like this way,
1 ) inventory data should be created with similarity as well unique item code (eg: 236-1, 236-2, ,236-50),
2) In addition to the drop down filter, there should be a new search field, when user types "236-" it should show the count of entries matching(50), and when user clicks/enter, the 50 line items should get populated in the offer screen, that is the first operation of the sale transaction and then is copied to all other functions which is available and good too.
i am sorry to write more, but this feature will ease the work very much to any user who has to deal with more datas.
since the software is intended for global use, it can be developed what the majority needs. Even there are some ideas I have but that is only for my convenience and not for others.
you can update the inventory items in excel and then import to Manager which will be easier in this regard.
Even though everyone uses the code to categorize their inventory, they may not need every item under the prefix code. So this would be a feature they would not need. As I said, requirements of many outweighs that of the few.
You may try making an inventory kit and use it. It would not show all the items included in the kit while printing but if the kit always contains the same items and quantity then you may give a list of the same to your customer so that they would know what kit contains what.
hmm, you are right too, unless the majority of users need it:smirk:
the kit is a different idea, it will not help here.
thanks sharp.
will it be possible to implement something in the future updates like having a popup window displaying the list of items corresponding to the search where the user could select the items from the popup result by a check box or a 'select all' feature ?
Or maybe having the option to print all the items included in an inventory kit?
I guess many users if not all would benefit from this.
Do you see a possibility to bring this feature as sharp suggests too, surely lots of users will be benefited,
Any luck for this, Can we have a check box and populate multi inventory line items in sales quote as per filtered result.

On Friday Indian companies will begin posting their results for the quarter ended in September – the first full three-month period under the country's new, pro-business government.
The latest macroeconomic indicators suggest the economy has picked up following this year's general election, growing at 5.7 per cent in the three months to June. But if analyst forecasts are anything to go by, only some sectors have received a boost from renewed optimism in India.
Analysts at Mumbai-based Ambit Capital expect highly cyclical sectors such as IT services and automobiles to show strong growth. But improvement will be more gradual in areas such as banking and capital goods, where structural problems remain.
Infosys, the Indian IT bellwether, will be the first major Indian group to report its results on Friday.
Ankita Somani of MSFL Research expects revenue growth at the top four companies in India's vast IT services sector – Infosys, Tata Consultancy Services, HCL Tech and Wipro – of about 4.8 per cent quarter-on-quarter, up from 3.5 per cent in the three months to March.
This isn't, however, a sign of improvement in the Indian economy under the new government. Rather, it reflects a recovery in the US and Europe, the sector's key markets. What's more, client spending always grows in the second quarter, while visa costs and wage hikes won't weigh on margins as they did earlier in the year.
One industry that has benefitted from the new optimism in India is the automotive sector, where car sales have returned to growth after two years of contraction.
Tata Motors has been relying on its luxury Jaguar Land Rover unit to prop up its financial figures. But this quarter Deepesh Rathore of consultancy Emerging Markets Automotive Advisors sees the domestic business improving, as sales of commercial vehicles rise – a sign that industrial activity is picking up in India.
Analysts at Ambit Capital expect Tata Motors' profit after tax to rise to Rs43.3bn ($710m) in the quarter, up from Rs38.3bn in the same period last year, on sales of Rs636.7bn, up from Rs568.8bn a year ago.
Here too, however, the news is not all good. Consumers are buying cars again but they are still being careful with their money. "We have seen a decent uptake for some of the car companies but if I look at the listed companies only Maruti is doing well," Rathore says. Maruti – India's largest carmaker by sales – is seen as a reliable brand, he says, and has offered deep discounts.
The story is very different in the banking and capital goods sectors, where analysts are more cautious in their forecasts as structural problems remain.
"Banks loan growth has hardly improved so that again remains one of the 'misses'… even after the new government has come into power," says Gaurav Mehta, an analyst at Ambit Capital. "Banks should ideally improve in an improving economy."
Ambit expects banks to see little balance sheet growth in the quarter just gone and notes that asset quality remains stressed. Ambit expects a 27 per cent year-on-year increase in consolidated net profits for the banks that it covers, but that is only thanks to a weak set of figure in the same quarter last year.
In fact, the poor health of India's banking system – with credit growth remaining slow and investment limited – is one reason why Ambit expects India's economy to grow 6 per cent in the next financial year, compared with a consensus of about 6.5 per cent.
Analysts at Kotak Securities are watching the capital goods and construction sectors to see what senior management say when they post their results. Business confidence has improved in India and the government has made a start on reforms but this has yet to trickle down to new projects and orders. It will take between 6 months and two years for investment to pick up, according to the brokerage.
Softening metal prices are expected to help margins in the capital goods, engineering and power sector, where Kotak Securities predicts a 6 per cent year-on-year increase in revenues in the quarter ended in September.
Debt levels and high interest rates mean the news is worse for the construction sector, which generally lags economic recovery. Here, Kotak forecasts a hefty 72 per cent year-on-year decline in aggregate net profits of the companies it covers.
So far, the big success of Narendra Modi's government has hinged on rising confidence that has boosted stock markets – good both for the government's disinvestment plans and for companies looking to raise funds.

Are there any particular vegetables or fruits which help fight ovarian cancer?
Hello L. Petrich;
Yes, there are many. Garlic, asparagus ( for a glutathione detox boost), cabbage, onions, made up in a home made broth with only a pinch, if any , sea salt. Beets (raw juiced).
6 Organic carrots, 2 oranges and 2 organic beets juiced daily.Fresh organic Cucumbers with skins on. Mangos with skins ON. Broccoli STEMS.
Phytochemicals are the key to unlock our cellular receptors. the ones that unlock the phase 2 enzyme, which is the primary detox process of the human body undertaken by the liver. It is the phase 2 enzyme that we activate for reversal of cancer. The very best foods we can use to unlock this are in the parts of our food that we discard too often. The skins, seeds, and stems. Many of the seeds, such as apple, avocado, etc can be ground in the form of a smoothie with the fruit. In a pineapple, add the stem, rip off the pineapple leaves and use the stem parts under the leaves….loaded in phytochemicals. The spark plug to activate our bodies into action.
Carrots help rid the body of tumors and strengthen the immune system. Falcarinol slows the growth of cancer cells. Falcarinol is a NATURAL pesticide in a carrot, it protects the roots from fungal diseases while it grows.
Carotenoid-rich fruits and vegetables eaten every day is very important. Foods such as Carrots,oranges, broccoli, romaine lettuce and spinach, with carrots being your best choice. Fresh is best, but steamed lightly will only result in about a 30% loss of falcarinol and if boiled about a 70% loss.
warmest regards

Another possible explanation is the quality of meat in the US vs UK. Hormones, antibiotics and corn finishing could make US meat less healthy.
yet another thing to consider is variety. Apparently the variety we enjoy in North American is not the same in the UK. Less variety =less nutrients.
Please remove the above name ASAP thanks!
Is there a connection between the amount of meat you eat to the harms on the body, or like the IGF-1 a few "slips" harm the body like consistent meat consumption? (in most cases)
Illogical statement. Eating a less diverse diet of high nutrient foods, is far more nutritious than a very diverse diet of nutrient poor foods. Also, eating a large variety of metal filings and pesticides is far less nutritious than eating a lot of kale.
Couldn't it also be because Americans eat more meat, even those on "low meat" intake? And the vegetarians shouldn't need B12 supplements – only vegans need that!
Why isn't there a video that WARNS people that if you're going plant-based you must take vitamin B12?

News for Monday 101617
By Dave Graichen
A significant cold front moved through the Bayou State leaving us with some much needed relief. State Climatologist Barry Keim says this front has brought in much cooler and drier Canadian air and pushed out the warm Gulf of Mexico air. He says the afternoon highs will be in the 70s in northern parishes and low 80s in the coastal zone. Keim says this cool weather will stick around all week long. Keim says even as temperatures in the 90s subside, expect a warmer than usual autumn.
After Three days, the trial is over. Antonio Boyd, the so called head of the Triple M Murder Team, took a plea deal during the lunch recess of his trial Friday. The 32 year old Boyd pleaded guilty to racketeering and attempted first-degree murder, receiving sentences at hard labor of 50 years and 35 years, respectively. The sentences were to be served concurrently.
An oil rig exploded in Lake Pontchartrain on Sunday evening (Oct. 15) near St. Charles Parish and north Kenner, according to Kenner Police Department spokesman Sgt. Brian McGregor. Seven people were injured in the explosion, according to Kenner Deputy Chief Administrative Officer Kriss Fortunato, and authorities believe an eighth person is still missing.
Former state Rep. John Schroder, R-Covington, is headed to a Nov. 18 runoff against New Orleans attorney Derrick Edwards to choose Louisiana's next treasurer. Edwards received more votes in the primary, but experts indicated he got into the runoff mostly because he was the only Democrat in the race. Schroder is expected to win a Nov. 18 runoff election and become the next state treasurer of Louisiana.
Louisiana residents voted in favor of three more changes to the state constitution Saturday. Voters decided to prevent ongoing construction from counting toward a property's value for tax purposes. Practically speaking, the change will mostly benefit owners of industrial properties. A property tax exemption was approved for spouses of first responders and a wider swath of law enforcement officers killed while on the job.
Voters also consented to a new restriction on gasoline and fuel taxes. At this point, the restriction is hypothetical since the Louisiana Legislature had refused to implement a new gas or fuel tax in recent years.
City Councilwoman LaToya Cantrell and former judge Desiree Charbonnet earned spots in a runoff for New Orleans mayor, guaranteeing the city will elect its first woman mayor in the Nov. 18 runoff.
Police have identified the suspect involved in the shooting death of a New Orleans Police Officer. 30-year-old Darren Bridges, a convicted felon, faces a charge of first degree murder in the shooting death Friday of 29-year-old officer Marcus McNeil. Chief Michael Harrison says they are still investigating what exactly happened.
State health officials are reminding Louisianans it's time to get your annual flu vaccination. The flu season has begun and doctors are starting to see a small number of cases. The Louisiana Department of Health will host flu vaccination clinics until December in all parts of the state and residents can visit LDH's website for locations and dates. The flu shot is free for individuals with insurance and 10 dollars for those without insurance.
Sasol announces they have hired their 500th employee to support its new 11 billion dollar ethane cracker and derivatives project in Calcasieu Parish and plans to hire at least 200 new employees over the next two years. Kim Cusimano with Sasol says they've been working towards this goal for several years. 93-percent of those hired are Louisiana residents and 83-percent are Calcasieu Parish residents. Sasol partnered with the Louisiana Community and Technical College System and SOWELA Technical Community College in Lake Charles to help fill positions. These careers have an average salary of 80-thousand dollars.
Baton Rouge Republican Congressman Garret Graves authored legislation seeking to protect Cajuns, saying they are endangered, because of coastal land loss. He is pushing for them to be protected under the Endangered Species Act of 1973. Graves believes the federal government has been mismanaging the Mississippi River system for years, endangering the Cajun's way of life. Following discussion on the floor and some good natured jabbing, Graves withdrew his amendment from consideration.
Governor John Bel Edwards says 100 pallets of donated goods will be sent to Puerto Rico. Parishes across the state have been collecting the items for the past couple of weeks. Over 400-thousand packaged items including diapers and baby wipes will be sent to help Hurricane Maria survivors. 300 members of the Louisiana National Guard have been sent to Puerto Rico.
Two Baton Rouge school students are in trouble after a BB gun they allegedly brought to school discharged Friday. Police say the incident happened after students were traveling back to School following a field trip. The male 9th grader who brought the weapon tossed it to a female 9th grade student, that's when the weapon sischarged striking another student. Both were charged with Negligent Injury and Illegal Carry of a Weapon on school property.
Halloween is only two weeks away and Louisiana residents are rushing to find the hottest costume. Store manager for Halloween Express in Baton Rouge DeMarcus Cox says the most popular costume this year is Pennywise the Clown from the movie It.
The LSU Tigers are once again ranked in the Top 25 polls after their historic come from behind win over Auburn. LSU trailed by 20 points, but roared back to beat their SEC West rival 27-23. The defense held Auburn to 64 yards in the 2nd half. It's the Tigers largest come from behind win at home since 1949. LSU is now 5-2, 2-1 in the SEC.
The Saints nearly blew a 35-point lead, but an opportunistic Black and Gold defense preserved a 52-38 victory over the Detroit Lions. The Saints defense, which looked very bad at the beginning of the season, forced five turnovers and scored a franchise record three touchdowns in one game. The Saints have won three in a row and for the first time since 2013 they have a winning record at 3-2.

What you enjoy doing lesson idea
I. Overview of the lesson
This lesson is designed for the Intermediate-low 6th grades Elementary school students who go institutes three times a week. Most of students are exposed to a variety of topics in order to maintain their interest in English learning also students are eager to learn English as their parents emphasize the importance of learning English all the time. Main focus in my lesson was that students make their own top five lists what they enjoy doing. In the warm up stage I asked students some questions to activate their schemata about their sleeping habits for teaching some key words which are related to sleeping habits. I did TSST a lot for leading all students participate to the class. Then in the presentation stage, I asked students some questions for identify genre. I used internet web page to find out the genre. I also gave some focus questions before do reading Test for helping students' understanding. In the guided practice stage, I gave some activities, one is fill in the blank from the keywords and make their own list about their top five things what they enjoy doing.
II. Theoretical justification of the activities
A. Intrinsic Motivation
Intrinsic motivation is cognitive way. It means desire to perform an activity because it's interesting not because of anticipating rewards. As far as Intrinsic Motivation concerned, students learn better and want to do something voluntarily if they are interested in what they are learning. I asked some questions in step 7 to activate their schemata and also for leading their interests. For example, I asked about their sleeping habits because my topic was top five sleepiest animals in the world. Most of animals don't exist in Korea, so students will be interested to see them even through the pictures. In step 9, I asked students to make their own top five lists what they enjoy doing in their daily life. This also can make students compare to others' and get some interests. With regards to promoting intrinsic motivation, the lesson was unsuccessful in some aspects because I didn't give interesting activity in step 10 so it might have possibility to lose students' interests about the lesson.
B. Risk-taking
Risk-taking is quite important to students for learning language. When they make mistakes teacher should not give an answer immediately. Teacher try to encourage students to find their answer by themselves to take a risk in the class. So I asked individual questions a lot in step 7,8 and 9. Also I asked them to answer in complete sentences by themselves. I only used repetition and chunking when I taught vocabulary and asked them to summarize. When they have a problem making the sentence correctly, I cued instead of modeling language. In step 7, warm-up, I used T-S-S-T for a question 'How many hours do you sleep a day' . Students had some difficulty to make complete sentences but I didn't give answer instead of that I asked other students to help. This was a good way to encourage students to make errors and correct themselves. Taking a risk is necessary when students are learning. Teacher encourages risk taking by cueing. Then more students get chances to speak English, the faster they would reach the success in learning it.
C. Input Hypothesis
According to Krashen's Input Hypothesis, the students can build up competence by understanding input and the text material should be concerned to be meaningful for students. I think activating schemata is very important to make input comprehensible. Once students are activated what they learned before, it is very helpful and effective for them to understand the new material better. So I gave some questions in step 7 to activate their schemata. Input hypothesis says that students can build competence by understanding messages. So for making comprehensible input to students, I asked students paraphrase with chunking in step 8. Following to Krashen's "I+1." in his theory such as "I" represents input at the current level of competence, and "+1" means input slightly beyond the learner's current level. I did some higher activity for Intermediate-low students to make their own list to lead them higher level than current.
III. Conclusion
Through analyzing my lesson plan with some theories from SLA, I found some good things and some problems by myself. So I could evaluate by myself too. When I make another lesson plan next time, I can consider my weak and strong points about lesson plans then fix and evaluate by myself too. I'll consider risk taking and intrinsic motivation more when I teach students to make them to participate class more. Also in the lesson plan, by various kinds of activities, I'll try to make students can stimulate their right hemisphere.
