It's not just for the big boys anymore. Small business can win government business.
What does your perfect customer look like? Something like this perhaps?
- A large – if not the largest – customer in a small market.
- A good repeat customer.
- Clear as to what is required.
- Generally pays enough and on time.
- Often provides an opportunity to grow your business.
And what does the government want from your business?
- Low risk, peace of mind and value for money.
- Transparency of transactions, as the public sector is accountable to the public.
- The opportunity for generating a positive image to the public.
- No 'botheration' or difficult people.
Sounds good, doesn't it?
So how do you get this elusive government work? Here's a few tips from those that know.
Make your approach personal. Request a meeting with the relevant people and ask them questions. Contrary to opinion, public servants are not robots! So try to develop a relationship prior to the tender.
A couple of no-nos. Don't try political pressure or manipulation, and don't submit a tender assuming you're entitled to get the job.
Now for that pesky tender submission.
- Read the tender documents carefully and seek clarification (that's a great meeting opportunity).
- A detailed, thoughtful project plan is the best way to start.
- Don't assume the assessment panel will know the job as well as you do. Explain your approach and don't leave them in any doubt as to whether you can do the job.
- Address all merit criteria. Get help if you need it. Don't just write the same stuff over and over again.
- You need to prove your case, not just state it.
- Making 'pick me' claims such as, 'we're Tasmanian', 'we're local' or 'we deserve a chance' doesn't mean anything. You need to show how the government will benefit from it.
Personal spin is important, but only if you can back it up. This is no time to be a shrinking violet!
Be clear about what is unique or different about your business from your competitors. Demonstrate your project experience and show off your knowledge of industry trends. Point out how what you are offering is:
- valuable (the same as everyone else)
- rare (a bit better than your competitors)
- hard to copy (a lot better than your competitors)
- non-substitutable (no one else can offer what you can).
And in the end?
If you're successful – brilliant! Do the best job you can. If not, don't go down the 'we was robbed' route. It takes too much time, money and energy. Instead, ask for a debrief, take it on board and start looking for the next job.
All government tenders are advertised, so keep an eye open on www.tenders.tas.gov.au. We've recently run statewide workshops called Tendering Basics. You'll find the presentation notes on Business Tasmania and there will be more workshops next year. We'll send you an email when we have the dates, if you give us your details here.
Warren Moore's presentation 'How to win Government Tenders and Influence People' was the inspiration for this blog. Warren has Moore Consulting in Burnie and is one of our Enterprise Centre Tasmania small business advisors. Thank you Warren!

November 26, 2014
Marshfield declared their first snow emergency of the year at 7 a.m. Tuesday, meaning no vehicle can park overnight on the streets, making easier for plows to get through and keep the roads clean.
Many other communities have also done the same.
Sgt. Patrick Zep from the Marshfield Police Department during weather like Tuesday's it's best to just stay home, also making it easier for plows.
Despite hazardous road condition throughout many parts of the state, Sgt. Zep said thankfully there have been no fatal crashes.
He said their department has responded to many vehicles in the ditch.
He explains that frequently traveled roads like Highway 13 south and Highway 97 entering the city are especially dangerous. He says the snow gets packed down making the roads icy.

Q:I'd happily patronize restaurants that don't allow smoking. Where are they?
A:The easiest way to find Denver's smoke-free eateries is to get a copy of the Smoke-Free Dining Guide from Boulder-based GASP of Colorado (Group to Alleviate Smoking Pollution). The nonprofit will mail the booklet, which includes over 600 Denver restaurants (GASP also offers brochures for other counties in Colorado), in exchange for a donation. You can order one from GASP, 2885 Aurora Avenue, Suite 37, Boulder, CO 80303-2252, or through the Web site, www.gaspforair.org/index.htm, which also features a searchable database of non-smoking spots.

School LockdownsSubmitted by libertyprime on Mon, 10/20/2014 - 14:14
Hello DP, I am still fuming right now. My local community college just had a lockdown drill. This is not abnormal for my school. However, this time the reasoning for the lockdown drill was a group "protesters" that were "attempting to start a riot." They had actors holding signs and yelling while police stood by. At this point the announcement came over the intercom for the lock down, and all the students were told to hide in a back room.
I've been asking myself: Why would they go through the trouble to create this fake scenario? Is this a demonstration of force against the First Amendment? Maybe an example of what will happen to you if you protest here? No one would have the opportunity to capture evidence of police misconduct if they were all quickly ushered into a back room.
I openly shared these concerns with the 40 or so students and faculty while we were locked in a dark room together. Most of them realized how ridiculous the entire situation was, but they were still quite apathetic about it. I attempted to ask the police captain some questions but I didn't get much out of him he just replied with: "maybe you should come by my office sometime, but I'm going to be busy for the rest of the day." I am still unsure if this invite was genuine or if the captain was simply deflecting. What questions should I ask this guy if I get another chance? What would you do DP Community?
DIY Chicken Coop... Followup; "What do you do to experience life... all the way?"Submitted by mikecz on Mon, 10/20/2014 - 11:20
A few weeks back there was a post here about how "you" experience life. Well, I said I build things sometimes. Anyways, I just finished my coop. First time chicken owner, in about 3 more weeks, my glorious flock will move from the basement into this. Looking forward to the eggs! With anything else, I'm sure I'll have to "improve" some things after the first few weeks to work out the kinks. Just wanted to share as the last screw went in yesterday. Thanks to all at the DP for the inspiration!

Patient like a cat in the middle of cornfieldsSubmitted by legalizeliberty on Sun, 10/19/2014 - 20:32
"I tell people I won't vote to go to war unless I'm ready to go or send my kids."
- Rand Paul
Patient like a cat in the middle of cornfields
Firmly on the ground his two paws
Waiting for the vibrations
The sounds
Once the mouse is caught
All trouble is forgot
Patient like spider's webs
Listens to his father and learns
Stories of love and her many sisters
Truth liberty and peace that conquers
Patient as holy songs
Birth-giving notes
Then one brilliant day surely arrives
The sacred flag of the Republic in his hands
He always knew that to break all our chains
The EnemySubmitted by EdinNY on Sun, 10/19/2014 - 14:20
The Enemy
He tossed and turned again that night,
Up as usual before the light,
I saw him sitting at his place,
A troubled look on his face,
A quiet man and often grim,
And again that look came over him,
But one morning at the break of day,
He said the things he had to say.
Son, I thought it was all worth fighting for,
But I'm not so sure anymore,
And all that stuff about country and glory,
Well, now I sort of doubt that story,
But what bothers me so unbearably,
Is the one they called the enemy.
He was just a young man like me,
The one they called the enemy,

The big question for the next centurySubmitted by Molusk on Sat, 10/18/2014 - 18:43
While none of us know the future, we have a good handle on what drives change. Technology is the big b1tch on the stage of history, setting the act and letting the characters play out their roles in her drama. Ideas, economics, politicians, and literati are just characters on her stage, who operate in her paradigm.
We have a little window into the next big technological revolution, the automation of most human labor, body and brain.
Within the existing economic order, automation portends a tectonic shift in the magnitude of inequality, and the diminution of the value of the average mass man to near nil.
The political table is set for a war over the proceeds of this automation - who will reap the benefits. The millions of mouths who's hands and brains have lost their value, or the fortunate ones who sit astride the machine that manages the machines?
The earth has a limited surface, a limited carrying capacity, limited fuel and a limited tolerance for swarms of living things crowding it up. The human enterprise has bred huge numbers of animals and pairs of hands to produce its daily bread, fight its wars and produce its wealth, and so long as those pairs of hands and their attached mouths had a real positive value, population has grown.

If Rand is GOP Nominee, 3rd Party Candidates in POTUS DebatesSubmitted by FSUJAG54 on Sat, 10/18/2014 - 12:31
I'm calling it right now--if Rand is the GOP Presidential nominee, we'll see a 3rd Party candidate in the Presidential debates for the first time since Perot. This will be done to split the GOP vote to hand the victory to Hillary, of course because it will be a Libertarian or Right-leaning candidate. They would not dare allow a Green party candidate into the debates because it would cost Hillary votes.

Web Letter
"Mexico is experiencing its own Hurricane Katrina": First, it is inaccurate to compare the flooding to Hurricane Katrina, considering that the author herself states that there are only ten confirmed deaths, whereas Hurricane Katrina caused nearly 2,000 fatalities. Second, the flooding occurred at nearly the same time as the California wildfires; one wouldn't expect the New York Times to report on another country's disasters while the US is having one. Third, the author doesn't take into account the remittances sent home by Mexican workers in the US when describing aid received; if the numbers were available, we would undoubtedly find that the amount of monetary support coming from people in the US exceeds that of all other countries besides Mexico itself.

Bug: Can't use custom costume as a Pop-up dialogue
So I make a custom costume. Check.
I make a Pop-up dialogue, and attempt to select my custom costume in the list, and it is not there. (And yes, I know it is alphabetical.)
Strangely enough, the custom costume shows up in the list when I try to place toons on maps.
OK, I figured this one out somewhat.
Any pop-up dialogue I created BEFORE the custom costume was created cannot use the custom costume.
While I can simple copy / paste / delete to get the other boxes fixed, I can't use the custom costume for the Grant Mission dialogue.
Since custom costumes don't save outside of the mission Project... no dice.
So is there a solution? I have created some costumes and I can't use them neither in Map Transition nor in Pop Up dialogue. When I click to select, my costumes show under project maps but selecting it does nothing, its alike its not working. What do I do? I was excited about foundry now I am getting ****ed since its half baked and has all kinds of stupid bugs. I have deleted all my popup dialogues, deleted all my map transitions and can't chose my own costumes still.
Another thing is that I can't chose to have player bridge officer as a contact. So if I want to create a scene on the ship's bridge with current player officers its impossible. If the above worked with custom costumes I'd at least use my own but I can't chose them to function as pop-up or transition are costumes. :mad:
NVM, you can use your own costumes you just have to select them from Asset View, if you select them from Project maps it won't work...
You may also find that your first popup, missions accept box or popup before first map transition may not work due to the fact it must be a Cryptic custom character. Your assets will not load for the player until you have entered the first map transition to a foundry ugc map.
Yeah the Whole Map thing is known to people who played with Foundry for a bit. You can't get through since it would result in error message that you need a door if your first map switch to custom map and "leave from" is not done through existing STO system.
So far I've been able to get through all the bugs. There is another bug, or maybe its just a limitations of Foundry that you can't jump between two different maps as many times as you want. Or maybe I am not doing it right. I've tried different spawn points and different markers but it seems that if I go from one custom map to the other there and back, the third time becomes the first time. So if I say have a transition to a custom map, then have another transition to second custom map, then transition to first first custom map - while you play the mission it will use the third transition in mission tracker and use that third transition first.
I was able to get around it by creating a copy of the custom maps and pointing duplicate transitions to a spawn point on the copies. This is quite an annoying limit. Overall this foundry editor is very crappy. It allows you to make some dumb missions without a problem, but as soon as you try to make something more interesting than just "get mission from NPC, go to map and kill bots" you run into all kind of walls. I guess its better than nothing.
What I am really missing is camera positioning. Lack of music selection. You can't create a mood/atmosphere for your mission, its all dumbed down to stupid dialogue windows and generic music. WHY can't we chose which music we want to run on our maps. I am not asking personal music, I am asking of what already is in STO, why foundry doesn't give us a choice of STO music selection on specific maps? You can only do the ambient sounds and even then only in specific cases. Foundry been out for how many months? Time to give us some more options.
Also I've played some TOP foundry missions... really? People give those missions 5 stars? Some of them feel artificially being bumped up because missions are honestly feel very crappy, repetitive and have very little story.
Anyways, sorry for a bit of temper here, I am just a bit frustrated with how buggy Foundry is and how little there is information about creating soemthing more than just a regular fedex mission.
Its actually going quite well. I feel very limited though. I wish I could do some camera bypasses, to show the ship floating by, chose different music, chose specific sounds at specific moment. Looks like our foundry is not the toolset that devs are using to create the missions for STO, it may be similar to some extent, but they said it themselves that its an old tool from Neverwinter game tweaked for STO content. I look forward to the time when we have a good toolset to create cusstom content and not so awfully limited in what can be done. Unfortunately if that time ever comes I don't believe I'll still have the same excitement for creating custom missions.
This interview that PodcastUGC did with Captain Geko is very informative towards the toolset.
Good podcast. A lot of all kind of information but little about Foundry. Summary is great though. I still wish we've had a better control over things in current foundry. Looking forward to see foundry options expanded.
I wish there was a wiki, similar to for example a wiki of Toolset for Dragon Age Origins:
I want information that actually explains how ALL features in foundry work not how to make dumb simple missions. I enjoy figuring out stuff, but it would be helpful to at least have some kind of direction/tips etc. Again not tips how to make simple mission but tips on how to DO things. Like how to trigger special events, how triggers work, what can be used as triggers, how to trigger FXs etc etc. I know most of it now, but how much time I've spent to figuring this all out?'
And it would take even more time if I'd try to "disassemble" these very unhelpful topics posted on some websites that eventually just teach you how to make very simple mission of talking to NPC, then go blow up enemy ships and come back to finish the mission.

For the first time in American history, schools are in for a massive demographic shift. This fall the overall number of Latino, African-American, Native and Asian students will outnumber non-Hispanic white students.
The Georgia Department of Education, along with its partners - The Ritz-Carlton Hotels of Georgia, the Georgia Association of Educators and the Georgia Foundation for Public Education - now is accepting applications for the 2015 Georgia Family-Friendly Partnership School Awards.
Gov. Nathan Deal on Monday recommended the State Board of Education amend state policy to allow computer programming courses to satisfy core requirements - math, science or foreign language - for receiving a high-school diploma. Deal is asking the Board of Regents of the University System to follow suit by accepting these courses for admission into institutions of higher education.
The price that students and adults pay for lunches increased this year in Long County, according to school nutrition director Stephanie Fox.
Linnie L. Darden Sr. recently has been awarded his doctoral degree in professional counseling.
SAVANNAH - While many college students typically study hard for final-exam questions, Savannah Technical College's culinary arts baking and pastry students spend weeks working on their cake-decorating final exam.
The Long County Board of Education during its recent meeting recognized the 2014-15 teachers of the year from each school as well as four retiring employees.
Liberty County School System Superintendent Dr. Valya Lee delivered a presentation Thursday at the Liberty County Chamber of Commerce's monthly Progress Through People luncheon, held at the Performing Arts Center.
The Liberty County Board of Education recently approved a new three-year contract, worth $190,000 a year, for Superintendent Dr. Valya Lee.
The Liberty County School System, through the teaching and learning department, will offer Focused Learning After School Hours courses for all teachers beginning this month.
Teachers in Liberty County are paid as much or more than their colleagues across the state of Georgia, according to Liberty County School System Chief Financial Officer Roger Reese.
Starting school can be overwhelming for a 4-year-old.
Armstrong state releases lecture-series schedule
The United States Achievement Academy recently announced that Tia Ayana Gonzalez of Hinesville has been recognized as a student of excellence in science.
The Hineshouse Project Inc. selected and sponsored local recent high-school graduates or current high-school students to attend a youth-leadership conference, "Call of Duty: Making a Difference," hosted by the Georgia Association of Housing and Redevelopment Authorities from July 25-27 at the University of Georgia in Athens.
Bradwell Institute students heard from working professionals Friday during the school's annual Career Day.
Editor's note: This is part three of a three-part series on the Green Zone, a program offered by Armstrong State University that helps educators understand the challenges faced by military-affiliated students transitioning to life in the classroom.
The Long County School System's FCCLA chapter has taken many steps toward improving as an organization this school year. So far, members have attended three events.
During October, Long County Middle School FBLA students participated in a book drive. Each member brought in used books to donate to children in the area, and over 100 books were donated. On Oct. 30, the club ended the drive with a Halloween social and costume contest. Members came in costume and brought Halloween treats to share. Guest judges chose the costume-contest winners, and cash prizes were given.
Anyone who walks through the Pentagon is bound to cross paths with highly skilled military or civilian employees who have disabilities - including the Defense Department's director of disability programs, who has been legally blind since age 16.
The Liberty County School System's high-school graduation rate has increased since last year, rising from 72.3 percent in 2013 to 75.8 percent in 2014. The graduation rate at Bradwell Institute held steady at 72.4 percent, while the graduation rate at Liberty County High School made a statistically significant gain of 8.7 percentage points, rising to 81.6 percent.

Teri Takai's confirmation hearings on hold as the Defense Secretary reviews organizational structure
Confirmation hearings for Defense Chief Information Officer nominee Teri Takai are on hold while Defense Secretary Robert Gates makes good on his promise to slash the defense budget by reviewing the organization's structure.
The Senate Armed Services Committee, which had expected to begin hearings on Aug. 3, announced Tuesday that Takai had been removed from the schedule pending an internal review.
"In light of the secretary's initiative to reduce overhead and achieve efficiencies, the department is in the process of reviewing the entire organizational structure," a Senate Armed Services Committee spokesperson said in a statement. "While we are examining any number of options and avenues for the best way forward, we wanted to maintain some flexibility. Therefore, we determined that it was best not to go forward with this confirmation hearing until this internal review was completed."
The review is part of broader efforts announced by Gates earlier this summer to slash Defense Department spending by $100 billion to help fund the dual wars in the Middle East.

DOD aims to slash budget by $100B to pay for war
Under DOD's current structure, the CIO serves as assistant secretary of defense for Networks and Information Integration. However, last month the Defense Business Board recommended the dissolution of DOD's NII directorate, as part of a broader downsizing of defense organizations to meet the goal of saving $100 billion.
DOD has been without a CIO since John Grimes left in 2009. Since then, Cheryl Roby has worked as acting assistant secretary of defense for NII, and Dave Wennergren as deputy CIO.
Takai currently serves as CIO for California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger.

Hello Bruce,
There is a John Patten who might be the one you are interested in. John Patten is mentioned in a bible of Joseph Patten(1781-1858), grandson of Capt. Samuel Patten of Bedford, NH. John would be the great-grandfather.
John Patten came to America, according to this Bible listing, in 1728, with his wife Mary(Gammel or Gamble) and sons Matthew and Samuel and settled in what is now Bedford, NH. Samuel was born in Ireland and married Mary Bell in 1746. He died on April 23, 1792.
Matthew Patten is rather well known because of his diary entries and information is usually available at any library.
John died in April 1746 at 75 years of age or thereabouts.
Mary died in Bedford on October 1, 1764 at 81.
Hope this info can help

|Cookbook:Dasik Dasik
|Revised Romanization
Dasik (Korean pronunciation: [taɕʰik], literally "tea food") is a variety of hangwa or Korean confectionery, mainly eaten with Korean tea.
It is made from nongmal (which is starch made from potatoes, sweet potatoes or soaked mung beans), pine pollen (songhwa), Ostericum grosseserratum (singamchae), black sesame, honey, flour from rice or other grains, nuts and/or herbs.[1][2][3]
Dasik is kneaded and pressed with dasikpan (다식판), decorative stamps for making patterns on dasik.[4] Depending on their ingredients, dasik comes in white, yellow, black, green, brown or reddish.
- Heukimja dasik (흑임자다식), made with black sesame seeds
- Kong dasik (콩다식), made with beans
- Songhwa dasik (송화다식), made with pollen powder
- Bam dasik (밤다식), made with chestnut
- Jinmal dasik (진말다식), made with wheat flower and honey
- Nongmal dasik (녹말다식), made with starch
- Ssal dasik (쌀다식), made with rice flour
The origins of Dasik are unknown, but documents from the Koryo Dynasty mention it. Similar cookies are found in China, so dasik may be a Korean version of those.
It is one of the required cookies in ritual table. Dasik became necessary in big table settings such as in Ritual Ceremonies or weddings.
Press the dough into a Dasikpan that has letters, flowers or a geometric pattern is embossed. The surface of dasik has letter卍, flower patterns, or Chinese letters 壽·福·康·寧 representing long life, luck, health and peacefulness. Two dasikpan form one set. Its length is 30∼60㎝, width is 5∼6㎝, and thickness is 2∼3㎝.

|Bret Hart wrestles on Raw for the first time in months to face Owen Hart, who is accompanied by the man he will beat out for the Best Bow Tie Slammy, Clarence Mason. Owen still has the "King of Harts" playing card lighting during his entrance. Those transparencies they put over the lights can't come cheat, so you're darn right they're gonna get their money's worth.

Raw #185 - November 18th, 1996
|Steve Austin arrives on Raw to face Mankind in a "tough man contest." Originally, Vader was pencilled in as Stone Cold's opponent, but he was injured by the 700-pound ("I would suggest," says McMahon) Yokozuna the night before at Survivor Series with a uranage. The shoulder injury is said to only sideline Vader for a few days, but that's enough time to keep him off television all month thanks to the compact taping schedule.

|The last Raw before Survivor Series kicks off with Bulldog and Owen Hart defending their tag team titles against Sid and Shawn Michaels. Last year at Survivor Series, Michaels, Sid, and Bulldog were all on the same team in the Wild Card match, with Owen on the opposing side. Vince recaps the problems brewing between Sid and Michaels, as well as their feud with the tag team champions, while managing to say, "melee" once and "from there" three times.

Raw #183 - November 4th, 1996
|Kevin Kelly is at Brian Pillman's home live. We know it's live because it says, "LIVE!" on screen. Another way to tell it's live? Well, you'll just have to listen to Pillman. Tonight's episode is the first RAW at the new 7:57 starting time, and what better way to thank USA for rearranging its broadcast schedule than with gun violence and the F-word?

Raw #182 - October 28th, 1996
|Tonight's Raw opens with the return of Double J (by which I mean The Roadie), who enters to "With My Baby Tonight," perhaps the most inappropriate wrestling entrance theme until X-Factor's theme by Uncle Kracker. His opponent is Salvatore Sincere. And, this episode was taped a week ago. Take that, Nitro!

Raw #181 - October 21st, 1996
|Sid opens the show to take on Owen Hart, who is still one half of the tag team champions. Sid, who earned a title shot last night by defeating Vader, looks to get his mitts on the Slammy Award-winner on this month's live episode of Raw. More important, however, is the return of Vince McMahon to the RAW commentary desk. How many times will he say, "maneuver"? It's hard to say, but he's already said, "individual" twice in the first five minutes.

Raw #180 - October 14th, 1996
|Tonight, the vicious Stone Cold Steve Austin warms up for his match with Savio Vega by taking on the WWF champion in a non-title match. Austin tells Shawn that it's not the good book, it's Austin 3:16, and tonight he's going to whip his ass. That would be a lot more effective a taunt if Shawn Michaels were a bible-thumper, so I guess this promo is a decade before its time. By the way, since Shawn hasn't defended his title since Mind Games on September 22nd, isn't he coming up on 30 days without a title defense? Hopefully, Gorilla Monsoon won't be as strict as Jack Tunney.
