Presenter Bio: Jim Fitzgerald, Minnesota's Center for Energy and the Environment |
Jim Fitzgerald is widely known throughout North America for training weatherization contractors and crews, he started his career as an insulation contractor in Minneapolis, where he developed techniques for dense pack cavity-fill insulation of existing homes. With the help of Gary Nelson (The Energy Conservatory), and using infrared and blower door diagnostics, Jim's comprehensive approach to dense packing consistently yields insulation continuity and significant air leakage reductions. Jim recently helped develop BPI's criteria for Air Leakage Control Installer certifications, and is now a member of BPI's working group to draft standards for thermal insulation used as an air retarder. He also provides field audits for ABAA (Air Barrier Association of America) in new commercial work. In the past he has conducted hundreds of stucco moisture investigations. |
Classic Residential Inc, Thanks for your response regarding EUC. As more Solar companies are considering offering whole house solutions with their solar programs, some are trying to determine if EUC will complement their plans. It's sad to hear that coming from the utility down south.
Steve, as a contractor actively performing jobs under the advanced package program EnergyUpgradeCA is difficult to work with. Property owners receive lower rebates from EUC on completed jobs than anticipated after test-in QAQC review. Things like conditioned space sqft and appliance kWh/y have changed from test-in to QAQC test-out. Working with home investor customers and occupied homes the amount of time it takes to go through the program is impractical. Mostly due to the inability of the contractor to be onsite while QAQC inspections are taking place. The whole process is unreasonable having gone through the appeal process to dispute QAQC findings and getting a response back that 'contractor' only gets one chance to dispute findings even when new information on customers' property has been submitted to further dispute QAQC findings.
In my experience this program is ineffective at the expense of the contractor and customers. However is does benefit the Utility company, contracted QAQC inspector, and contracted EUC trainer.
If QAQC findings show contractor deficiencies then QAQC inspectors need to beef up their contract to inspect more EUC jobs.
If QAQC findings show contractor deficiencies then EUC trainers need to beef up their contract to train and re-train contractors doing EUC jobs.
If QAQC findings show contractor deficiencies then the utility company pays less in rebates and leaves customers who will not have work done. Essentially, leaving them to collect more in rates than if the work was performed.
I do not know what the Public Utilities Commission or California Energy Commission was thinking when they put utility companies in charge of this program. There is a conflict of interest where the utility is told to give rebates towards activities that lowers their profits. Just look at what SDGE is trying to do with Solar customers:
Owners of rooftop solar installations are bracing for substantially higher monthly electricity bills under a proposal by San Diego's utility monopoly to overhaul the way it charges customers of all kinds.
San Diego Gas & Electric asked regulators this month for permission to bill customers separately for use of its distribution grid.
The effect on nonsolar customers would be negligible, but unbundling grid use from the cost of electricity would fundamentally change the energy-saving equation for homeowners and businesses with rooftop solar installations.
How much solar customers would pay remains unclear — bills will depend greatly on each ratepayer's use on the grid.
The proposed "network use charge" is pegged to the ebb and flow of electricity for those who generate excess power by day only to draw from the grid when the sun doesn't shine.
The utility has framed its request to the California Public Utilities Commission as an issue of equity and fairness. As more solar is adopted, SDG&E says, traditional customers are footing more of the bill for infrastructure and public purpose programs, which subsidize low-income customers and pay for energy efficiency and utility research and development.
"We have to have a rate structure that is sustainable and can accommodate those (solar) customers," said J.C. Thomas, manager of government and regulatory affairs at SDG&E.
Feeling betrayed
Many of the 14,500 ratepayers who generate their own power feel they've been betrayed, as they calculate a longer payoff time on their solar investments.
Patricia and Gil Field, a substitute teacher and a retired Navy contracting officer, installed solar panels in 2009 on their Carmel Valley home, using a combination of inheritance money, a loan from their Quaker meeting group and discounts based on a state rebate and federal tax incentives.
"They're changing the rules and charging an excessive rate to undercut people who have made environmentally sound commitments," Patricia Field said of the SDG&E proposal.
Analysts say SDG&E's application has the attention of California's two other investor-owned utilities, Southern California Edison and Pacific Gas and Electric, which could seek to replicate it.
Solar customers remain a tiny fraction of SDG&E's 1.4 million customers. But that market segment is growing at a frantic pace and represents mostly heavy energy users — once the most profitable of utility customers.
"For the really forward-looking utilities, there is the writing on the wall that they're really not in the business of being the primary energy source for these people," said Ted Ko, associate executive director of the nonprofit Clean Coalition in San Francisco. "This proposal by SDG&E is kind of a first attempt at … the compensation model for people who are going to be generating their own energy."
Net-metering incentive
Perhaps more than any other incentive, one simple equation has helped turn rooftop solar panels into a mainstream reality in San Diego County.
Under "net metering," utility customers who generate one kilowatt hour of energy can buy one less kilowatt hour from the utility.
The solar payoff also has been sweetened by California's steeply tiered rate structure, a legacy of the energy crisis a decade ago that saw rolling blackouts amid electricity market manipulation.
To comply with state law, California's utilities charge heavy users of electricity nearly twice the rate per kilowatt hour to encourage conservation and assure cheap energy to cover the most basic needs.
As more solar is adopted, at a current rate of 200 customers a month, the number of customers paying upper-tier rates has declined, according to SDG&E.
Top-tier customers, the company says, in effect are already paying $34 a year to offset costs for solar customers.
"We don't think it's fair that just because you can put solar on your roof that your neighbor should pay for it," SDG&E spokeswoman Stephanie Donovan said.
Navy vet: 'It's a bad trend'
Despite assurances from SDG&E that grid-use charges won't eliminate the benefits of net metering, clean-energy contractors fear for their future under the proposal, according to Andrew McAllister, director of programs at the ratepayer-funded California Center for Sustainable Energy.
"Decreasing the effectiveness of the incentives embedded in net metering is going to have a chilling effect on the marketplace" for small-scale solar, McAllister said.
Retired Navy pilot Rusty Chang, 55, of Chula Vista had anticipated that lower monthly utility bills would pay for his rooftop solar installation over eight years. Now he knows it could take longer to produce real savings.
"I have no idea how long. That's the problem," Chang said. "It would definitely push back the time. If that's the trend SDG&E wants to follow, it's a bad trend."
The rate redesign is already being challenged before regulators.
The San Diego-based Utility Consumers' Action Network says it amounts to an obscured surcharge against self-generating electricity customers, and would circumvent state law that provides for rate stability and predictability.
Initial hearings on the application are scheduled for December. SDG&E hopes to win approval by mid-2012 and roll out the new billing structure in 2013. New charges would be phased in by 2015.
The utility bill restructuring is part of SDG&E's larger general rate case proposal to raise gas and electric rates by $1.1 billion over the next four years.
SDG&E says the new network-use charge would be offset by lower electricity rates. A $3 monthly basic service fee also would be implemented.
People with electric vehicles would be eligible for relief from grid-use charges to encourage charging during predawn hours when the demand for electricity is lowest.
I sure would like to hear what contractors that are actively performing jobs under the basic or advance package program think of EnergyUpgradeCA? Was EUC easy to work with? Or not?
Did the property owner receive the rebate from EUC on completed jobs in practical amount of time? Was the whole process reasonable?
For a limited time, eligible homeowners can get a 0-3% fixed interest rate loan to make energy efficiency home improvements through the CHF Residential Energy Retrofit Program. Additional grants up to $1,950 per home are also available. No minimum credit score; no appraisal on the home*. There's never been a better and more affordable time to energy upgrade.
Note: We encourage only Class B Contractors that already have a BPI certified analyst on staff to attend, as this is a requirement to be a CHF Approved Contractor.

Dear GVCSHRM Members,
When it comes to thinking in the business world chances are the first thing that comes to mind is strategic thinking. Critical thinking also quickly comes to mind. What about reflective thinking? That type of thinking is just as important and in many ways more important. It would probably be helpful to understand the differences between all these types of thinking because strategic and critical are often used synonymously and many people haven't heard of reflective.
For the sake of helping define these here's a kind of military analogy that might be helpful. Strategic thinking is what is used to plan a battle. Critical thinking is used once the battle has started and decisions have to be made as circumstances arise in order to continue on course with the overall plan. Reflective thinking is used to determine what lessons have been learned from everything to do with the battle (including the initial planning). Each of these can be learned and developed to help improve decision making capabilities.
There is a commonality they all share. That is, they will impact the future at some point from the time that they occur. Good reflective thinking will keep you from experiencing a "temporal causality loop" (sci-fi fans that one is for you). In other words you won't have to relive the same mishaps over and over again.
There are other types of thinking but these 3 are arguably the most important. They form a tripod. Remove any one of them and the tripod collapses. When combined they support and strengthen each other. Reflective thinking creates wisdom and those with wisdom are better strategic and critical thinkers. Keep in mind that because thinking is a fluid and adaptive process there isn't necessarily an absolute right thought solution.
Getting back to reflective thinking and the underestimated importance it plays here are a few key things to note. Build time into the day for this. Find a quiet place where there aren't any disturbances so that you can focus. Reflective thinking is very much a proactive process. You want to engage your mind and fill it with thoughts on how the decisions that were made have played out and will continue to play out. Simply put, what are the lessons to be learned? There is a fitting quote from Mark Twain that says "We should be careful to get out of an experience all the wisdom that is in it."
Probably the biggest enemy to good thinking (in any category) is time. It's not uncommon to find people spending more time reacting instead of thinking. In today's world, due to the hectic pace, it is often an effort to find the patience and energy to put toward thinking. Even so it's incredibly important to do so.
Well, there you have it, a few things to think about. I'll see you out there.

PHOTOS: Ri Ri Releases New Terry Richardson Photos & Takes Over "FebruaRIH"
Rihanna is an infamous cover killer, and photographer Terry Richardson must have wanted to remind us all just how bad Rihanna is, because he released more of Rihanna's Rolling Stone magazine outtakes.
Like we could forget?
Judging by these outtakes, we have no idea how the magazine chose which photo to use for their February 2013 cover. Let's just say, ALL these pics are sexy contenders; we can't choose a favorite.
PHOTOS: Wait... What? Rihanna Crashes Karrueche's Rolling Out Party?!
"FebruaRIH" is definitely going to be a good month for Roc Nation... if it isn't Beyonce shutting things down - literally - it's Rihanna.

LOS ANGELES — "Identity Thief" will make a name for itself this weekend as the comedy is poised to easily pocket the No. 1 spot at the box office.
The film, co-starring Melissa McCarthy and Jason Bateman, is set to debut with a strong $25 million, according to those who have seen pre-release audience surveys. The only other movie hitting theaters this weekend, Steven Soderbergh's psychological thriller "Side Effects," will start off with a far lower sum of about $12 million.
"Identity Thief" marks the first major feature film role for McCarthy, who gained massive popularity after her Oscar-nominated supporting turn in 2011's comedy "Bridesmaids." Though she has appeared in a number of films over the years and stars in the CBS sitcom "Mike & Molly," this year is the first that the 42-year-old actress will be able to prove she has box office clout.
In the movie, McCarthy plays a big-haired criminal on the run from Bateman's character, whose identity she has stolen. The film marks the second collaboration between Bateman and director Seth Gordon, who first worked together on the raunchy 2011 hit "Horrible Bosses."
"Identity Thief," co- financed by distributor Universal Pictures and Elliot Inc. for roughly $35 million, will also open this weekend in five small foreign markets, including Taiwan and Croatia.
"Side Effects," meanwhile, is the last movie Soderbergh has said he will direct for the big screen. Though an HBO movie he directed about Liberace will air this month on the cable network, the prolific filmmaker recently told the New Yorker he is ready to depart the movie business at 50 because he wants to paint.
If the film indeed is his last, Soderbergh is going out on a high note, as "Side Effects" has received high critical praise. As of Wednesday, the movie featuring Jude Law and Rooney Mara had notched a 81 percent fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
The film follows a young woman (Mara) who is severely depressed and seeks clinical help from a psychologist (Law). Her therapist prescribes antidepressants to ease her pain, but a number of the medications give her troubling side effects.

And that means killing off everything connected with that way of death: sexual promiscuity, impurity, lust, doing whatever you feel like whenever you feel like it, and grabbing whatever attracts your fancy. That's a life shaped by things and feelings instead of by God. It's because of this kind of thing that God is about to explode in anger. It wasn't long ago that you were doing all that stuff and not knowing any better. But you know better now, so make sure it's all gone for good: bad temper, irritability, meanness, profanity, dirty talk. – Colossians 5-8 (MSG)
Today was quite n interesting New Year Day. Well honestly it was pretty regular and plain to be honest until I got home and had the best laugh ever! You ever have one of those like "aha moments" that cause you to laugh because you didn't see what was coming or even realize the true meaning or reasoning but you already knew that's how God had it worked out? So all that said aside today I went to log on my Facebook and for some reason I couldn't get on now for the past year I have known my password because my password was the first time me and my "friend" were sexually intimate I know it's weird but it's the only date I knew nobody would know and it was easy to remember because I was so hell-bent over him *sighs* sad but true. Now I know you may be thinking well whats so funny about that right? Continue reading

Rob Ryan: Eagles are all hype
News blogs, sports blogs, entertainment blogs, and more from Philly.com, The Philadelphia Inquirer and the Philadelphia Daily News.
Rob Ryan: Eagles are all hype
Sheil Kapadia, Philly.com
Rob Ryan surely remembers how good the Eagles-Cowboys rivalry was when his dad was coaching the Birds.
So perhaps it should come as no surprise that he's doing his part to get everyone fired up now that he's in the NFC East.
Ryan, who took over as the Cowboys defensive coordinator this offseason, took a shot at the new-look Eagles, according to Clarence E. Hill of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram.
"I've got three bullies over there waiting for Thursday," Ryan said of his defensive line addition. "These are proven players, and that's what we need. I don't know if we win the all-hype team, I think that might have gone to somebody else, but we're going to beat their ass when we play them."
Ryan, of course, did not name the Eagles, but given all the headlines the Birds have made with the Dream Team and Miami Heat references, it's hard to imagine he was referring to anyone else.
One of the new Eagles apparently heard about Ryan's comments and responded. Here's a Tweet from Cullen Jenkins:
Talk is cheap. Let them talk. We are focused here and I could care less. We are worried about ourselves n getting better. He must be nervous
The truth is the Eagles should get used to having a target on their back. They are going to be a popular Super Bowl pick nationally and have raised expectations with their recent signings.
As for the Cowboys, they come to Philadelphia in Week 8 (Oct. 30), and the Birds travel to Dallas in Week 16 for a Christmas Eve matchup.

Funny to see that a Cowboys Coach is making snyde comments about hype. For the past five years the Cowpokes have been the most over-hyped team on the planet.
Of course, now with a fat slob named Ryan on their sidelines, the over-hype on Dallas will only worsen as he runs his mouth.
Too bad these Ryan boys don't run their teams as well as they do their jaws. montgomeryhopkins- Comment removed.

About Surgery
The WHO Emergency and Essential Surgical Care (EESC) program is dedicated to providing life-saving surgical care to meet the need in areas of the world where the burden is high, access is low, and the disparity is great.
Integrated Management for Emergency and Essential Surgical Care (IMEESC) tool kit
The WHO Integrated Management for Emergency & Essential Surgical Care e-learning toolkit (CD) has been developed by the Clinical Procedures Unit in collaboration with the GIEESC programme. This tool targets policy-makers, managers, and health-care providers (surgeons, anaesthetists, non-specialist doctors, health officers, nurses, and technicians). This tool contains WHO recommendations for minimum standards in emergency, surgery, trauma, obstetrics and anaesthesia at first-referral level health-care facilities.
Surgery: the neglected component of primary care
More than 30 years ago, then Director-General of the WHO Dr. Mahler identified the important role of Surgery in primary health care, citing the availability of emergency surgical treatment in injuries as an essential component. "Without it, in spite of preventive measures…people will not have faith in primary health care…people in need must have access to skilled surgical care at the first-line referral hospitals.
How can Surgery Meet the Need in the UN Millennium Development Goals?
Provision of essential surgical care is critical in meeting the UN Millennium Development Goals of reducing child mortality, improving maternal health, and combating HIV/AIDS, and other infectious diseases.

What is green economy?
Green economy is an economy that results in improved human well-being and social equity, while significantly reducing environmental risks and ecological scarcities. The United Nations system views greening the economy as a tool to help achieve sustainable development and eradicate poverty. In this context, green economy is seen to be at the heart of renewed efforts to integrate environmental and social considerations within the mainstream of economic decision-making in the run-up to the upcoming United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development (4 - 6 June 2012), also known as Rio+20, and beyond.
Green economy and the recent crises
Renewed interest in driving the green economy agenda forward arose at the time of the 2008 financial and ensuing economic and social crisis. A number of initiatives proposed a package of green public investment and complementary policy and regulatory reform within the context of national fiscal stimulus packages aimed at boosting the economic recovery and job creation. The crisis has opened a window of opportunity: weak private demand will not suffice to return economies to their full employment levels, and hence needs to be underpinned by public support, while concurrently low interest rates make the costs of investment attractive.
Green economy aims to boost green investment and policy reform
The green economy aims, inter alia, to boost economy-wide policy reform that enables green investment. This can have positive horizontal impacts on the whole economy, bringing large pay-offs that have the potential to reduce poverty and help achieve progress towards the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). Safeguarding or upgrading a country's natural capital stock typically has large benefits for vulnerable groups, which are more dependent on natural capital for their livelihoods. Massively scaled-up investment in green infrastructure — especially in the energy, transport, agriculture and waste sectors — typically commands a high social rate of return.
Green economy in the pan-European region
Despite significant achievements in greening the economies across the pan-European region, the ambitious green economy targets being pursued by many countries in the region show that the scale of the green economy challenge for the region is still large.
The United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE) has an important role to play in the region's transition towards a green economy. Through its sectoral work in the areas of energy, transport, water, sustainable land management, its five multilateral environment agreements, its International Centre on Public-Private Partnerships, its flagship Environmental Performance Reviews, its work on innovation policy and on statistics, UNECE helps to shape and inform on international good practice, policies, norms, standards and indicators for a green economy.
Green economy and UNECE five multilateral environmental agreements
A pre-requisite to paving the way toward a green economy is that economic growth be decoupled from environmental degradation and exposure to health hazards, while also improving social equity. To achieve these aims, Governments, civil society and the private sector need to join forces to draw up regional roadmaps for a green economy. The ECE multilateral environmental agreements provide cornerstones for such a roadmap in the ECE region and even beyond. They offer legal frameworks and policy solutions to safeguard human health and the environment, to encourage international cooperation, strengthen governance, democracy, transparency and accountability, reduce emissions, promote resource efficiency and sustainable production.
Specifically, the ECE MEAs support the transition to green economy in the following ways:
- Emission targets set by the Convention on Long-range Transboundary Air Pollution and its protocols promote the adoption of low-emission technologies, help drive technological innovation, protect human health by reducing exposure to harmful pollutants and seek to maximize benefits for improving air quality by exploiting the synergies with climate change mitigation.
- The Convention on Environmental Impact Assessment in a Transboundary Context (Espoo Convention) increases the transparency of decision-making and promotes resource efficiency in a transboundary context. Its Protocol on Strategic Environmental Assessment provides a unique and important instrument for planning and policymaking related to greening the economy: it integrates environmental, including health, considerations into economic development while also strengthening public participation in the governmental decision-making process.
- The Convention on the Protection and Use of Transboundary Watercourses and International Lakes promotes the equitable and reasonable use of water resources through the integration of water in development and sectoral policies, in particular food and energy-related policies, thereby fostering resource efficiency in the transboundary context. Its Protocol on Water and Health is a powerful tool to ensure universal access to safe water supply and adequate sanitation, with a special focus on equity aspects.
- The Convention on the Transboundary Effects of Industrial Accidents promotes policy and governance solutions to protect human life and the environment from the effects of industrial accidents. Together with industry, it fosters the development and implementation of safe production technologies, safety techniques or services to continuously improve prevention, preparedness and response to industrial accidents.
- The Convention on Access to Information, Public Participation in Decision-making and Access to Justice in Environmental Matters (Aarhus Convention) and its Protocol on Pollutant Release and Transfer Registers, which are open for global accession, offer powerful twin protections for the environment and human rights. They provide effective models for ensuring public input in defining and implementing green economy programmes and in choosing the most appropriate roadmaps to sustainability and for increasing transparency and government accountability, thereby putting Principle 10 of the Rio Declaration into practice and paving the way for its universal application.

Internet scraping even named Net harvesting or Internet data extraction is actually a computer software approach of extracting data from internet sites.
Often, such software program applications act like mortal search of the Web by either performing low-level Hypertext Transfer Method HTTP, or adding certain full-fledged Internet browsers, such as the Internet Traveler IE and the Mozilla World wide web browser. Internet scraping is carefully associateded with Internet indexing, which indexes Web gratified making use of a bot and is actually a wide-spread procedure followed by several quest engines. In comparison, Net abrading concentrates others on the transfiguration of unstructured Internet subject matter, ordinarily in HTML format, within structured data that can be actually saved and analyzed in a central local data source or spreadsheet. World wide web scraping is actually additionally linked with Net automation, which imitates human Web searching making use of computer software. Uses of Net abrading include on-line cost comparison, climate data monitoring, website adjustment detection, Net study, Web material mashup and Web facts union.
Data mining is a group of relatively meaningless and random data is actually the craft of extracting nuggets. On the Net, correspond the informations favorites your server, you're Website or that the customers literally purchased some time on your website visitors can be actually utilized as a list. This provides a spirit, John, as well as supplement and dietary items on the Web, take an appearance at a retailer. He is actually been internet for two years as well as excellent residing online purchases of supplements and such, yet recognizes he is able to perform greater, however it is not specified how. The first measure for John to multiple reports out of our list to operate.
Web scraping may be actually be against the official terms of use of some websites if you can imagine such a silly thing!
The enforceability of these phrases is actually unclear. While downright replication of initial expression are going to in plenty of situations be unlawful, in the U the courts ruled in Feist Publications v. Rural Telephone Service that duplication of realities is allowable. UNITED STATE courts have actually acknowledged that users of "scrapers" or "automatic robots" may be carried liable for committing trespass to chattels, which includes a pc system itself being thought of personal effects upon which the individual of a scraper is trespassing. The greatest recognized of these cases, eBay, Inc. v. Bidder's Edge, Inc., generated an injunction getting Bidder's Edge to cease facts mining from the eBay Internet site. This situation involved self-regulating placing of bids, recognized as Public sale Sniping. Nevertheless, to triumph on a claim of trespass to chattels, the plaintiff should demonstrate that the accused deliberately as well as without authorization meddled having the plaintiff's possessor interest in the desktop computer process as well as that the defendant's unauthorized usage resulted in damage to the plaintiff. Not all circumstanceses of world wide web spidering brought before the courts have been taken into account trespass to chattels.
One of the 1st major tests of screen scraping included American Airlines, and a company called FareChase. AA successfully got an injunction out of a Texas trial court, quitting FareChase from offering software program that helps users to contrast webfares if it also explores AA's internet site. The airline justified that FareChase's websearch software application trespassed on AA's servers when it gathered the publicly accessible data. The injunction was captivated in 2003.
Southwest Airlines has actually even challenged screen-scraping practices, as well as has actually involved both FareChase and one more firm, Outtask, in a legal claim. Southwest Airlines charged that the screen-scraping is actually Unlawful since it'ses an instance of "Computer system Fraud as well as Abuse" and has created "Damage and Loss" as well as "Not authorized Access" of Southwest's web site. It also establishes "Disturbance having Business Relations", "Trespass" as well as "Harmful Gain access to by Desktop computer". They even claimed that screen-scraping establishes what is lawfully recognized as Misappropriation and Unjust Enrichment, and is actually also a breach of the website's customer contract. Outtask denied all these claims, and declared that the prevailing regulation in this situation should be actually US Copyright law, and that under copyright, the pieces of data bing actually scraped might not be subject to copyright safeguards.
Data mining is a collection of plausibly incomprehensible and random information is actually the craft of removing nuggets.
He has been online for 2 years as well as impressive living net purchases of supplements as well as such, yet realizes he will certainly do better, but it is actually not particular just how. The initial measure for John to a couple of reports out of our data source to operate. Coming back customers, repeat client's frequency, the hottest product, the most well-liked blog posts, article collections, season, item by item approval by geographic area as well as orders for a comparable item: in this example, these reports incorporate. The customer that one literally worth the time and appreciate your company programs. When a customer purchases consistently as well as uncover others over our many other products, further the customer to order items for added complimentary are able to recommend – reorders. You may additionally chuck in free of cost samplers to attempt his customer. Realizing exactly how collections of customers generally buy products, you as well as your functionality for the packing of items for sale update quality of this wonderful combo. Climate by item recognition – some seasons some items market adequately than others. For instance, supplement C markets more effectively in summer months than in winter. Every time you pay a visit to, you've rate surges can be more particular.
Returning consumers, repeat customer's regularity, the most prominent item, the most prominent blog posts, blog post groups, season, product by product popularity by geographical location as well as orders for the same product: in this example, these records consist of. Permit's take a brief appearance at each report and guide for exactly how a lot, John. Repeat consumers – if I know my ordinary clients, that can easily I deliver through e-mail them to unique offers or motivations if self-starting to have such a good consumer to be shocked at the checkout stand vouchers provided. Returning customers Consistency – exactly how regularly the client purchases from one, where you every couple of weeks, you may quickly deliver products to consumers without the hassle of reordering of the client, the car ship show and begin sewing. The customer that one really price the time and appreciate the business shows. When a client buys once more as well as again and understand concerning our other products, include the client to order items for supplemental complimentary can easily propose – reorders. You are able to additionally thrust in complimentary samples to attempt his customer.
And of class, an auto-ship software you should try to acquire customers. The least favored products – the reality is handy for inventory control and to puddle as explained over. It is actually even attainable, helpful for special sales liquidate undesirable stock. Products Collection – products in a retail environment is surprisingly important to understand groups. Understanding how groups of clients normally get items, you as well as your effectiveness for the packaging of items for purchase redesign advantage of this great combo. Weather by item recognition – some seasons some items offer well than others.
For instance, vitamin C offers better in summer than in winter season. By understanding the seasons of the item, one must be detailed on the internet site as well as gain understanding into. Product seen by geographical area – if the consumer base located in regional gift buying behavior, private, certain products as well as product for each geographical place targeted mailing is actually a huge opportunity. Each time you pay a visit to, you have rate boosts can easily be more particular. It has brand-new devices lead just how facts should appear, whether or not a personal experience i.e. one whom advised you just remember the past as well as present them is actually appropriate, exactly how and when to perform special sale, what are very good loss leaders, etc. While it is able to be a load of hard work, informations mining to seize brand-new customers dramatically enhance your profits without the fee of a really dynamic technique.

Imitrex is a prescription medication that is indicated in the treatment of migraine headaches. It is classified as a sulfa drug that has been on the market since 1991 when it was approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration. Imitrex is only available by prescription in most countries and is available in many doses and forms including tablets, injections, as well as nasal inhalants to fulfill the treatment needs of all who suffer from these painful and life changing headaches.
Imitex is available without prescription in the United Kingdome. It is usually sold in 50mg doses which can be doubled if needed. There is no indication that the United States will follow suit any time soon in making Imitrex available over the counter. Perhaps much of the reason that the United States Food and Drug Administration will not allow for Imitex to be sold over the counter is that it is known to cause some unintended side effects and it is a potent medication that needs to be used exactly as prescribed.
These may include a condition where the blood changes to a green-black color. It may have also cause a variety of heart issues including coronary artery vasospasm, transient myocardial ischemia, ventricular fibrillation, myocardial infarction, and ventricular tachycardia. Not all patients will experience these side effects.
More common side effects include vertigo, pain and pressure sensations, and fatigue. Every patient will have a unique experience with some experiencing little or nothing in the way of side effects while others experience more severe side effects, and everything in between. Imitrex is generally very well tolerated, but for those who cannot seem to shake the side effects, a meeting with the doctor is in order to determine if there is a better course of action.

Enchantment, as defined by best-selling business guru Guy Kawasaki, is not about manipulating people. It transforms situations and relationships. It converts hostility into civility and civility into affinity. It changes the skeptics and cynics into the believers and the undecided into the loyal. Enchantment can happen during a retail transaction, a high-level corporate negotiation, or a Facebook update. And when done right, it's more powerful than traditional persuasion, influence, or marketing techniques.
Kawasaki argues that in business and personal interactions, your goal is not merely to get what you want but to bring about a voluntary, enduring, and delightful change in other people. By enlisting their own goals and desires, by being likable and trustworthy, and by framing a cause that others can embrace, you can change hearts, minds, and actions. For instance, enchantment is what enabled....
This book explains all the tactics you need to prepare and launch an enchantment campaign; to get the most from both push and pull technologies; and to enchant your customers, your employees, and even your boss. It shows how enchantment can turn difficult decisions your way at times when intangibles mean more than hard facts. It will help you overcome other people's entrenched habits and defy the not-always- wise "wisdom of the crowd."

"I judged a book by it's cover-story"
I ordered this book after reading articles and watching video clips about how great is was, but it turned out to be a random collection of general knowledge, peppered with drooling Apple product advocation and anti-(Adobe)Flash statements about how a web site home page should appear. I really was hoping that this would provide some insight into the psychology of customer motivation and product/service marketing, but it turned out to be (in my opinion) overstatement of the obvious.
Hey, the advertising worked on me, so there must be some magic in there somewhere!
"Just as disappointing as "Art of the Start""
Garden-variety advice, garden-variety prose. Can't argue with the advice, but it's simply the sort of thing anyone's mom tells them. "Be a good person".
"A Meal of Cotton Candy"
This book offers a very high-level overview of some of the psychology and research behind the elusive notion of being 'enchanting'. There is very little original content, as Kawasaki borrows from a vast array of other authors, including Malcolm Gladwell and Robert Cialdini. This book is a great jumping off point if you're looking for other sources that will drill down deeper into a particular subject. This book does a good job of explaining 'what to do' but without the critical 'how to do it' part. I found it to be dis-jointed as it jumped from subject to subject. Thrown in are a number of 'real life' stories, which were mildly interesting, but didn't appear to have much to do with the subject matter. As an avid reader of books in this category, reading Enchantment was like sitting down to dinner and being fed only cotton candy.
"A short book that's short on original insights."
I really admire Guy Kawasaki, but I could not offer up the fifth star for this book because too much of this book is recycled material. I've seen it or read much of it in other books. It's a worthwhile read if you are new to marketing or customer service. The term enchantment, may sound enchanting, but it's really just another way of talking about delivering positive experiences.
"An Enchanted Review"
This is my first review on Amazon. And I did it because Guy asked me to. I was enchanted.
He mentioned in the book how he makes a strong effort to respond to emails, so I decided to give it a try. I shared my thoughts with him on the book and he actually responded to me. Now that's enchantment!
As I told Guy, I downloaded it from Audible. The lessons mixed with real life stories were inspiring and insightful. I also believe it helped me to focus and make great first impressions in some recent meetings.
Working in politics and government, I see real value in the book for candidates, campaign managers and anyone already in elected office. I also think it's great for anyone looking to change jobs or even start their own business. I definitely plan on listening to it again and taking a look at some of his previous books too.
"Enchanting and well worth it but.."
Enchantment is certainly worth the listen. In fact true to form Guy spews out info at the rate of a fire hose and this is good and bad. Good because he makes sure you get value for your hard earned dollar and good because you will walk away with a number of action items you can actually act on right away. However, it is bad because you will never remember all of them. For this reason (and Guy will love this advice) you might want to also buy the actual book for reference.
Having said that I fully understand Dan's review "A Meal of Cotton Candy" (love his title). Almost everything Dan says in the review is correct. But I think Guy does a great job serving up the Cotton Candy. He puts a lot of info into one place and as I said, I at least walked away saying, "I need to do that." OK to be more accurate I should say, "I forgot Cialdini had written about that, I need to go do it". So, while this is certainly negative in one respect it does speak to Dan's point that the book is a good jumping off point for ideas for further reading. The one point in Dan's review that I disagree with is that Guy only addresses the 'what to do' but not the critical 'how to do it'. In some cases Guy does talk about the "how" and in others the "how" is obvious but it is often hard to remember to do it. For example, "do no evil" or I think Guy also borrows the idea of "don't do anything you wouldn't want to see published in your local paper". Well, I suppose Guy could have advised posting this mantra on your desk.
Finally, I have to say that I got a huge chuckle out of the book having recently finished "The Six Figure Second Income" (Jonathan Rozek , David Lindahl) because Guy must have just finished it as well. Although Guy has been at it for awhile so I wouldn't be surprised if he was the inspiration for Rozek and Lindahl. I won't go into the details but if you do listen to "The Six Figure Second Income" you will quickly get my point as well as a good chuckle.
"Very good "update" to Carnegie's principles"
While Dale Carnegie's work is certainly applicable today, I like how this book updates it and demonstrates how the principles still apply. This is certainly not merely a retelling or updating of the Carnegie book, but rather further demonstration how those basic principles continue to work.
"Problems with Audio at end of chapters"
There was a problem with the Audio in numerous chapters
There was an Echo for numerous seconds to a point where you could not hear the Audiobook, this happened in numerous chapters.
"In Depth Common Sense"
The book is well written, but it didn't have any take-aways for me. As long as you apply a little common sense, and try to be likeable, then this book doesn't really have to much going for it. If you have trouble being likeable, then this would be a great read.
"Insight into why we like some things; love others"
Guy Kawasaki is a great writer who includes humour and personal experience to make his point. If you've ever wondered why you like some products, but really love others, this book is for you. It gives insight into how you too could "enchant" people to your way of thinking or in relation to your product or business. Good listen.

Bill Clinton is on a plant diet… but is he truly a vegan. In this CNN interview, he claims the benefits of a plant diet; however he indicates that he has fish once in a while. Although it's not often, it's still once in a while. But who am I to judge… I am a vegetarian after all and not a vegan. I find it pretty amazing and inspiring that someone of his stature would come out publicly and discuss openly about a diet that pretty much goes against Factory Farming which dominates the food industry in the land of our cousins just south of the Canadian Border.
What about Al Gore? Does anyone know whether he is? In "An Inconvenient Truth" the movie, which is now available as a book; he's brought together leading-edge research from top scientists around the world; photographs, charts, and other illustrations; and personal anecdotes and observations to document the fast pace and wide scope of global warming. Shouldn't he be vegan too? After all, the meat industry is the world leader in pollution of the soil, water and air (horrendous smell and air bacteria and more) so who would want to be part of the ongoing destruction.
What about George bush? Lol ha ha ha kidding. He probably doesn't know what a vegan is and obviously puts blind folds to over look the Factory Farming industry… dumb ass.
In summary; congrats to Bill. Food wise and health wise… he is a step ahead. Way to go.
For info on Bill's diet; he would appear to follow a diet based on Dr. Gundry's research.

Jonathan Barnbrook's Book List 10 books and 3 comments
None of these are design books. I don't read directly about design, but instead look to the philosophies and experiences found in literature to influence my work. To be a good designer, you need to understand human beings, and for me the novel is still the best way to understand how people experience, affect, and are influenced by the world around them.

Comments about Jonathan Barnbrook's Book List
3 commentsGreat list! I like how you have emphasized the need to understand human nature to be a good designer. A few other books that I suggest are "what makes us tick" by social researcher Hugh Mackay. He's book is very clear and comes from a wealth of observational research. I also suggest Paul Gauguin maker of myth by Belinda Thomson. It's great to understand how place, history and culture affects our consciousness, gauguins life and approach to art shows the importance of questioning norms and his paintings are so rich in defining a space both beautiful and complex."the nature of place" a search for authenticity by avi Friedman also explores spaces, an excellent read of what makes a good space.
A great start point for to get anyone from any discipline to start thinking for themselves. Particularly refreshing comments on Shakespeare - in my view, a writer whose particular depth and beauty can only be experienced in print. In performance, there are just too many other things going on (witness those recent BBC2 adaptations by Richard Eyre).
Interesting approach and choices including world authors. My list would probably very explicitly include works from different countries. I'd find it impossible to assemble my top ten though. Julio Cortazar is a superb storyteller and so are Jose Saramago, JL Borges, Neruda, Cervantes, Rulfo...

U.S. Casualties Down in Iraq
By: RNS
Updated: March 25, 2009
Military spokesman Major-General David Perkins said 19 American soldiers died in combat in Iraq during January and February, a big decline from the 148 killed in that two-month period in 2007.
More than 4,200 U.S. troops have died in Iraq since the 2003 invasion. Baghdad's security spokesman said the number of militant attacks documented last week in Baghdad was at a record low.
Bombings, kidnappings and shootings, however, are still common.
Two bombings in a west Baghdad district during the past two weeks left nearly 40 people dead and dozens wounded.

"I would start with maybe a dime on the gas tax," Eltife said. "I would also look at expanding sales tax into auto repair."
The panel's moderator warned Eltife that Tea Party activists would not like what he was proposing. Eltife waved him off.
"You know, it is what it is," he said. "I was fine before I had this job. If they kick me out of office, I'll be fine."
Cheers filled the ballroom while Eltife stifled a smile. His remarks were reported around the state. The East Texas lawmaker has never been shy about discussing his preference for raising taxes over increasing public bond debt. Last week, he filed a measure to raise the state sales tax temporarily to pay off the Texas Department of Transportation's debt, calling it the conservative way to "deal with our debt problem." While pushing harder than ever to draw colleagues to his way of thinking, Eltife is challenging not only the ways his party manages the state's finances but the very notion of what it means to be a conservative in Texas.
"We've amassed a ton of bond debt in the state of Texas," Eltife said, referring to billions of dollars borrowed to pay for everything from new highways to renovations at state parks. "I'm telling you, it's a hidden tax. So we come home and say, 'I didn't raise your taxes.' Well, I don't buy that. When we sell bonds, we raise your taxes."
Eltife, 54, joined the Senate in 2004 after serving six years as mayor of Tyler. In the nine years since, the state's outstanding debt has more than doubled, to $41.3 billion from $19.5 billion, according to a comptroller's office report. That debt per Texan has grown to $1,584 from $865.
Though the state maintains a strong credit rating, the Legislature's reliance on debt has frustrated Eltife. As mayor, his signature achievement was a voter-approved tax-reform package that cut property taxes but raised the sales tax. The resulting revenue allowed the city to pay off the last of its bond debt in 2008.
"I loved my days as mayor because we actually solved problems," said Eltife, who left that office after reaching his term limit.
"Solving problems" is something Eltife talks about often, along with the value of "political courage." In his mind, the latter is in short supply at the Capitol but critical to achieving the former. He ticked off issues that loomed large in the state Capitol a decade ago -- school finance, transportation, water -- and noted that all remained major challenges with high price tags in this session.
"If we don't get our act together and start solving problems, this will be a Democratic state," Eltife said. "The public demands that we get these issues resolved and the voters are not stupid."
Eltife's colleagues in the Legislature cite his independent streak as one of his defining attributes as a senator.
"If you know Senator Eltife, you don't turn to Senator Eltife [and say], 'Don't do this or please do this,'" Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst said during a recent public discussion with business leaders. "Kevin is a dear friend, and he does a great job in the Senate."
Eltife was born and raised in Tyler but traces his heritage to Lebanon, where both sets of grandparents immigrated from. His father died before he was 2. While Eltife was growing up, his family relied on government benefits. He now owns and runs Eltife Properties, a commercial real estate firm. In 1991, a frustrating experience applying to the city of Tyler for a sidewalk variance motivated him to run for City Council.
After three terms as mayor, Eltife ran for a Senate seat left open by Bill Ratliff, who became lieutenant governor. Ratliff encouraged Eltife to run.
"He was able to bring the various elements in Tyler together, and I knew him to be fearless, which he has proven to be in Austin," Ratliff said. "I'm one of his biggest fans."
Eltife said he had tried to bring the same focus on reducing debt that he had as mayor to the Legislature. Over the years, he has regularly rallied against efforts to pay for government services on credit.
In 2007, he was one of a handful of senators to vote against a $3 billion bond measure to finance cancer research in the state. Now, as the agency created to allocate that money is mired in controversy, Eltife has filed a measure to block sale of the remaining bonds.
Eltife has repeatedly proposed raising the sales tax. In 2007, his bill to raise the sales tax and lower local property taxes passed the Senate.
"I would consider consumption taxes over property taxes all day long," Eltife said. "I think it's a much fairer tax."
Last week, Eltife filed legislation that would ask voters to approve temporarily increasing the state sales tax rate by half a percentage point to pay off the Texas Department of Transportation's debt, which stands at $13 billion.
"We pay the debt off like 15 years earlier. We save $6 billion in taxes," Eltife said.
That measure has divided some conservative activists. Michael Quinn Sullivan, the president of Empower Texans, a conservative group active in state politics, suggested on Twitter that Eltife must not expect to run for re-election as a Republican.
"Fortunately, not everyone shares Eltife's big-tax vision for a less prosperous Texas," Sullivan wrote in a recent post on his group's Web site.
Sullivan did not respond to requests to comment for this article.
JoAnn Fleming, chairwoman of the advisory committee to the Legislature's Tea Party Caucus, said she could support Eltife's proposal. Although she did not enjoy raising taxes, Fleming said she could back Eltife's plan if it were part of a package that reformed the way the state financed road construction. At a rally on transportation financing on the Capitol steps this week, Fleming -- who has known Eltife for 20 years -- singled him out for praise.
"At least Senator Eltife stepped up with a solution that will help us get back to pay-as-you-go for roads," Fleming said. "Paying what you can afford is the conservative approach."
While it may take multiple legislative sessions, Eltife said he was intent on achieving at the state level what he had in Tyler: instituting a plan to reduce public debt.
"Elected officials of the last 10 years have put this state into debt that will take 30 more years to pay off, and that's just wrong," Eltife said. "We don't want to raise taxes just to raise taxes, but at some point we've got to fix these problems."

An Ozark bus driver is accused of trying to meet a teenager for sex.
According to the Dale County Sheriff's Office, 29 year old Jonathan Lee was exchanging messages with a 15 year old boy on Facebook.
Investigators say the conversations were very sexual in nature.
Deputies arrested Lee after they say he set up a meeting with the boy, planning to take the child out of town for a sexual rendezvous.
"People that prey upon children are very good at this. They know what buttons to push on a child, they know how to speak their language, and how to manipulate," said Dale County Chief Investigator Harvey Mathis.
Mathis said Lee may have had other victims, and asks parents to question their children about this man.
Lee is being held in the Dale County jail under a $30,000 bond.

NEW YORK � Tom Hanks will play a gutsy New York City newspaper columnist when he makes his debut on Broadway in the spring.
Producers of Nora Ephron�s play �Lucky Guy� announced Thursday that Hanks will play Mike McAlary in the stage biography. Hanks, a two-time Oscar winner, had been in negotiations for the role when Ephron died this summer.
Previews will begin March 1 at the Broadhurst Theatre and an opening night is set for April 1.
McAlary, the city�s one-time dominant tabloid reporter, got the first interview with Abner Louima, a Haitian immigrant who was sodomized and beaten by white police officers at a station house in 1997. McAlary would win the Pulitzer Prize the next year, but would die of cancer a few months later at age 41.
The director of �Lucky Guy� will be George C. Wolfe.
In June, lead producer Colin Callender said his team could �think of no more fitting tribute to her extraordinary writing and remarkable body of work� than to proceed with plans to produce Ephron�s play.
Hanks is the star of such films as �Splash,� �Forrest Gump,� �Philadelphia,� �Sleepless in Seattle,� �Apollo 13� and �Saving Private Ryan.�
Ephron, who died June 26 at age 71, gained recognition as the writer of films such as �When Harry Met Sally� and �Sleepless in Seattle.�
McAlary, who worked at the New York Daily News and The New York Post, has already been the subject of a play � Dan Klores� �The Wood,� which opened off-Broadway at the Rattlestick Playwrights Theatre last year. He was said to be the inspiration for the character played by Randy Quaid in Ron Howard�s �The Paper.�
