Know who will miss you & act accordingly
Let's imagine something horrible for a few moments. Let's imagine that you die. That something unexpected occurs and your life is over. The plans you had, the lives you've touched would all be thrown into disarray. It is incomprehensible to imagine this, our own death. It's as if we have this built in mechanism to avoid the mere thought of it. But if it did happen, what would happen at the company you work at? Deadlines would be missed. Some stuff wouldn't get done. Co-workers would be sad or even shocked. Friends we've made would be devastated. There'd be a lot of upheaval, but here's the over riding reality of you dying and if you work for a large company:
You'd be replaced in 4 weeks.
It's even foreseeable that the process for replacement would begin the same day the news dropped.
Now let's compare that to what would happen with your home and family. Lives would be devastated and irreparable. You would never be replaced and the pain of the loss would last a lifetime. Young children would be especially impacted. The hole could not be filled be anyone, anytime, ever.
So why is it that we work late? So why is it we put up with corporate bullying? So why is it we continue to work for jerks for career advancement? Why is it we give large portions of our waking lives to a faceless corporation? Why would we give an inordinate amount of time and effort to an organisation when the ultimate reality is that we are disposable? The next time you have to make a choice to stay late, play the corporate game and over deliver to corporation XYZ, and choose between the job and the family, maybe you should think about how they'd act if the unthinkable happened. Once you remind yourself of this you'll know what choice to make.
It's another reason why we need to listen to the call to run our own race, and create our own future and for independence. The people who deserve us the most, are those who couldn't live without us.
The ultimate time management lesson
There's a lot to know about time management, and even when we know it all, it's pretty hard to implement. But if I had to impart a single thought on the subject of time management it would be this:
If the years seem to be passing quicker and quicker, it is because they are.
Yep, you read that correctly, each year we live is shorter than the previous year. That's because everything we experience in humanity is experienced in relative terms. What we compare things to is what really matters. Our financial position, our height, our intelligence, our health… everything is compared to something. And so too are the years we live. The relativity of each year we live is a smaller percentage of the life we've already lived. This is why years seems shorter and shorter, and in relative terms, they are. For example, 1 year in a 10 year olds life amounts to 10% of the life already lived. While 1 year of a 40 year old is .25% of the life already lived.
For me this is a nice reminder that time is constantly running out. And we should make a concerted effort to get as much out of it as we can, even if that means we want more down time. The point is that we should make conscious choices on how we use our time, not just let it evaporate. I recently did a podcast on the topic of time management on the Beers Blokes and Business show. You can listen to it here.
And here's one more doozy to close off with – you'll never be as young as you are today. So get out there and make a ruckus.
Office Culture – Coffee vs Education
The of two important cultural phenomenons got me thinking about office culture again. The love of coffee and the love of the internet. Both have a massive stake in western world office culture. Most people engaged in anything from small to large companies have omnipresent access to both. But the perception of each is vastly different.
But as far as I can tell the following is true:
Coffee: If you are at the coffee machine, making a coffee or buying one at the local espresso house in the morning no one looks twice. In fact it is respected and expected, part of the culture. A simple coffee fix is fair play in an office environment. Regardless of the fact that it is during work hours.
Internet: If you are surfing the web (excluding facebook) and potentially reading an article within your industry scope it looks bad. People see it as avoiding work or wasting time. It's evident that this belief exists by the number of 'click outs' people do as others walk by. When in reality, this is a vital part of being effective and up to date.
What they both point to is the importance of culture. Both the macro societal one and the internal one. I'm starting to believe that culture is at the apex of company output. And the culture we foster determine the people we attract and the output we create. One thing I know for sure, is that in a rapidly changing business landscape I'd rather have an informed set of staff working for me, than a set of robots who are operating on the punch clock paradigm.
The truth about digital offshoring
BRIC nations (Brazil, Russia, India and China) are the buzz word in business for good reason. In the good news for us small entrepreneurs is that access is no longer limited big players. The internet has made it possible to have a global work force from launch date, and the same cost advantages that multinationals have had since they started exporting labour to China and other parts of Asia since the 1960's. Anyone can do it now.
Before you worry about the ethics of 'off shoring' there's some stuff we should know. Exporting labour overseas is ethically sound. It is beneficial both to the recipients and the providers of such work (us). The average computer programmer earns around $1000 a month in India. In the USA and Australia it's more like $7000 a month. Unethical? Not really. The $1000 a month versus the average in India of $85 gives new information workers in India and very high standard of living.
When we inject money into developing economies we are increasing the living standards not just for our employees, but for their economy in general. In addition we have the option to pay them above market rates to create strong loyalty. We have the option treat our people well and create important cultural exchanges and relationships.
Other peoples time is what we must leverage for startup success. A simple business fact time immemorial. Only now we have both currency advantage and access. The issue of moving jobs overseas is a crock. We live in a global age, an internet economy. We all buy goods everyday from overseas. Geographical barriers simply wont exist shortly. So we should just get on board. Protectionist attitudes are outdated. No one is sending kids down mines with digital offshoring. If local people are getting put out of jobs, then they've been earning too much for what they've been doing anyway. Their outplacement is inevitable.
Startup Blog says:
The real cost of meetings
Why we still have so many of them is beyond me. We know they waste a lot of time. We know they probably cost us more revenue than they generate. So what if we actually tried to quantify the real cost of meetings. Especially those with a cast of thousands, or say 5-10 people. Let me break it down.
Cost of meeting with 10 people in it:
10 people with an average annual salary of $100,000
Total salary of human resources = $1,000,000
Weekly cost of the salaries = $19,231
Cost of $480 an hour. So a 4 hour meeting costs just under $2000 to conduct in pure wages. Not to mention the cost of stuff not getting done while the meeting is happening. Or the cost of another weeks wages while people go away and think about it, before returing next week with the same 10 people to make the final decision.
Here's an idea. Put the $2000 in the middle of the table (the cost of the meeting in wages). If it finishes in half the time split 50% of the money between the participants. If it finishes in a quarter of that time, split 75% of the funds amonst the participants….
Startupblog says: the best decisions are those that get made. The decisions which have a chance of being wrong so we can cross them off the list. Having expensive meetings just elongates the process. Avoid them where possible.
Message for the time poor
Here's the only two snippets of advice which matter for the time poor. Forget all other advice which you have heard. Especially, the long winded advice for time saving practices, which quite frankly the irony is not lost on me.
Advice snippet no: 1 – Never double handle any task. Touch it once. Do it once.
Advice snippet no: 2 – Cut stuff out of your schedule. Do less stuff, and learn to say no.
Do these two things and life will be better. That is all.
Media diet – startup style
As promoted in the 4 hour work week a media diet is a nice way save time. For entrepreneurs a different type of media diet is required.
A business trends diet
Here's how – avoid all business related articles as they pertain to new strategies & trends.
Here's why – We already know enough to be successful. Our problem is doing the stuff.
Unless we are just starting in the business world – we've heard every strategy and the fact is that most 'new' business ideas are simple derivatives of business theories which have been around since the birth of commerce. Cables channels and tech stuff is the worst. Who's got the time to read 86 posts from techcrunch every day? – not me.
We ought just trust our judgment and make the call that we know enough to get moving…and the rest we'll learn on the job…. So in the spirit of this blog entry, ignore the articles you were about to read and get back to your stuff.

Customer Reviews
36X 700TVL Smart Infrared PTZ Security Camera
We are a major manufacturing company that employs over 500 employees at our one plant here in New Jersey. We purchased this camera specifically to replace a much, much older PTZ camera that we had when the company was first created several years ago (back then we employed less than 100 people). As we have been fortunate that our growth has increased, so have our needs for our employees' security and protection as well as the company's. Since we now have a much larger parking lot than what we had when we first started, and since we have a raw materials storage yard, we have several hundred feet of property that requires surveillance. Before I talk specifically about this PTZ camera, let me say in the beginning that we were so impressed with the quality of the video at it's performance, that we replaced our entire system with a Security Camera King (package) and brand new Federal series DVR.
We've pole mounted this camera right at the corner of our office building. That gives us about a at least a 300 foot range in any direction from the employee parking lot to the shipping dock to the raw materials storage in the yard out back. The camera is no Chinese piece of junk. It is a very solid, robust camera that weighs about 15 pounds. With today's technology with ever increasing super high resolution cameras it would seem like the 600TVL color and 700TVL black and white is not very good, but let me tell you that with a 36x zoom lens just about any situation can be seen n just as good of detail. The camera also has to sets of infra red LEDs on for near subjects and a stronger intensity set for far objects and it's able to sense which ones are needed and when. Interestingly, even though is equipped with this IR LEDs the camera is still very light sensitive and can see in pretty low light conditions. The camera's PTZ movements are quick and exact with no over shooting, extra vibration, or lagging. In addition to the Standard Pelco-D and P protocols, this camera also has DH-SD which means that if it is used with a Security Camera King DVR (like our full size Federal series) you can take care advantage of intelligent positioning. This means that if you click and drag with your mouse in a downward and right direction to create a rectangle, every time you do it, the camera will reposition itself to center on that point and zoom in. Repeated motion repeats centering and zooming. To zoom out just draw a rectangle of the screen by clicking and dragging the mouse from a lower right position to an upper let one.
Needless to say, the camera is not cheap, but with the 36X zoom, the smart IRs, and all the other features we feel that it is well worth the investment and this one camera alone has probably replaced several or many fixed cameras that would have to be used to achieve the same coverage, and then we still wouldn't have the freedom of using a powerful zoom lens. Lastly, Security Camera King's Technical Support department is a group of very knowledgeable technicians that obviously know their own products inside and out and are more than willing to be of help with any issues you may have. Between the high quality product and the great customer service, I can't see how we could rate this anything but 5 stars.

This is a very good, high quality PTZ camera. I guess Security Camera King has taken one of their proven PYZs (the 23X) and added a lens that can get 36X magnification along with infrared illuminators that can reach 300 feet! That's quite an accomplishment in my book but what's better yet is the Smart Infrared technology which works pretty well. What it does it's puts the super heavy duty LEDs on for long range shots and the less intense LEDs for objects up close so they won't be washed out by the infrared radiation. Don't ask me how they do it, all I know is that it works. Another nice feature of this camera is that you can toss out the separate Joystick controller. I know some people still like that but I personally like Security Camera King's new technology that allows you to use the DVRs USB mouse to manually control the camera movements, not to mention the pre-programmed tours is you use one of their DVRs as well. The price on this camera may not seem cheap but when you compare it to others and consider the number of cameras it can potentially replace, it's not bad at all.

We ordered this camera and received it in just a few days. The camera arrived in perfect condition with no shipping problems at all as has our other orders from Security Camera King in the past. We use it with our Security Camera King/Tech Pro Ultimate series DVR and it works great. The 36X zoom is just about as powerful as you could expect from any PTZ camera and the lens are high quality so there is no image distortion. When they first came out, Security Camera King's "Smart LED" cameras were quite a surprise, but now I have to say we've become quite used to them to the point that we almost expect the PTZ to have that technology. This one is no different and works none the less better. A 300 foot range is quite a bit to ask for from on board LED illuminators but I believe we get the full of that. The 600/700TVL sensor provides a good clear recording and the camera is certainly quick enough to be referred to as a high speed PTZ. I can't really think of anything negative about the camera other than it's ominous size and look but I don't think that can be avoided. If you are looking for a super high powered zoom camera with a lot of extra features I think you'll find this more than satisfactory.

This is quite an amazing Pan, Tilt, Zoom camera. The 36x zoom is all optical with the lenses, no digital enhancement at all, however you do have the option of using up to 16X digital zoom if you choose. The camera captures a very nice color video at 600TVL and even finer picture in black and white at 700TVL resolution. Not only does this camera have an enormous zoom power but the infrared range is outstanding at 300 feet. I have an external infrared LED illuminator that doesn't even carry that distance, when you purchase this camera it's like your getting a high powered IR LED illuminator with it. Thankfully it has the Security Camera King "smart infrared" technology where it actually has two sets of illuminating LEDs , one that is used for long range and a less intense set that is used for closer objects to prevent them from being washed out by too much infrared radiation. As big as this model is, it really is a speed dome. It can crank a one hundred and sixty degree pan in one second! Preset speeds are even faster! Don't worry about the camera missing any electronic features in the On Screen Display (OSD) menu, it's got everything you'd expect from a high quality PTZ camera and more. Remote control is by standard RS485 connection to your DVR. Even though it has infrared LEDs and capability it still does really good with low light conditions as well. Works well with Security Camera King DVRs to since you can use the DVRs USB mouse for the "3D" positioning feature. I think this camera is a good buy and I would recommend it.

This camera's a beast! Unbelievable! The 36X zoom lens might as well be a telescope; in fact I've seen some telescopes that have less power than this camera! In addition to the zoom power, Security Camera King threw some muscle into the infrared LEDs too to give this camera a full 3000 foot range in total darkness. If your going to use just a few LEDs to accomplish that kind of range, they might as well be spotlights which means that anything close is going to be so brightly illuminated it will be a cloud of white, but not so with this camera. The "Smart IR" technology uses one set of LEDs for long shots and another for short so you can see both far and close. In addition to all of this, this 15 pound monster is a high speed PTZ. I didn't realize the size and bulk of this camera until I opened the package and attempted to wall mount it (the mount is included too). The OSD offers a variety of settings and features and if you are using a Security Camera King DVR (we use an Ultimate series) you can take advantage of the 3D positioning. That means you can control the movements and some of the camera by simply clicking and dragging on the monitor with the DVR's USB mouse. This is a good, powerful camera.

6 Stocks With Upgrades: CRL, CCJ, SVM, ACM, TPX, FLIR
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Shares of these companies were upgraded to buy at TheStreet Ratings on Wednesday: Charles River Laboratories (CRL), Cameco (CCJ), Silvercorp Metals (SVM), Aecom Technology (ACM), Tempur-Pedic (TPX) and FLIR Systems (FLIR).
Charles River Laboratories
The research company reported on Monday fourth-quarter earnings of $27.1 million, or 55 cents a share, a swing from a year-earlier loss of $342.4 million, or $5.94 a share.
"Our checks indicate more closures of pharma GLP Tox facilities are on the horizon. These should signal higher demand for outsourced services," Jefferies analysts wrote in a report Tuesday. "However, that has been the story for 3 years now. Low pricing still signals excess. Perhaps pharma is finally shuttering these labs after prolonged and unsuccessful attempts to sell them to CROs."Shares of Charles River Laboratories were upgraded to buy from hold by TheStreet Ratings. "The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its impressive record of earnings per share growth, compelling growth in net income, revenue growth, notable return on equity and expanding profit margins," TheStreet Ratings wrote. "We feel these strengths outweigh the fact that the company has had lackluster performance in the stock itself." Charles River Laboratories has an estimated price-to-earnings ratio for next year of 11.93; the average for biotechnology companies is 28.35. For comparison, United Therapeutics (UTHR) has a lower forward P/E of 6.31 and Techne's (TECH) forward P/E is 20.16. Of the 18 analysts who cover Charles River Laboratories, 14 rated the company a hold. Three analysts gave it a buy rating and one gave it a sell. TheStreet Ratings gives Charles River Laboratories a B grade with a $39.15 price target. The stock closed Tuesday at $35.23 and has risen 28.91% year to date.

text: McLaren and Lotus at war over Team Principals and title sponsor 25 January, 2014 Eric Boullier with Martin Whitmarsh The internal turmoil and uncertainty at Lotus has been capturing headlines for several months, while McLaren's unexpected 'civil war' broke out a few weeks ago and since then has been a huge topic of debate – now the two teams are at loggerheads over team principals and a big money title sponsor. A few days before the 2014 preseason testing gets underway, both teams are without a Team Principal and neither has the name of a title sponsor on their new cars. In the McLaren corner, gone now is their high profile partnership with Vodafone, but also missing at the launch of the MP4-29 on Friday was boss Martin Whitmarsh. Jenson Button with Martin Whitmarsh Nevertheless Jenson Button welcomed the return to power of company supremo Ron Dennis, "For me that's the exciting thing about this year. And you do need change sometimes." Multiple authoritative sources all agree that Whitmarsh's certain successor is Eric Boullier, the newly-departed Lotus Team Principal. That move has ruffled some feathers at Enstone. Indeed, in what was widely interpreted as a spoiling move, Lotus chose the precise minute that McLaren's 2014 car was revealed to publish the first photo of its own new single seater, the E22. And, defiantly hinting at Boullier's choice of next job, the team said on Twitter that the Frenchman's parting gift is a copy of 'Fifty Shades of Grey'. Eric Boullier's farewell gift by Lotus: Something to read before the season starts… Now, the respected Auto Motor und Sport correspondent Michael Schmidt claims that a leading contender to succeed Boullier at Lotus is none other than Whitmarsh himself. Schmidt also mentioned Ross Brawn as a contender, while reports on Twitter pointed to Craig Pollock, Jacques Villeneuve's former manager, who may also be interested into buying into the Enstone based team. Another reason for the animosity between McLaren and Lotus, according to Schmidt, is because the teams are both in talks with the same major potential sponsor. Lotus has reportedly entered the talks with a lower asking price, but the identity of the sponsor is currently not known. "We only know that it is a Japanese technology company," said Schmidt, speculating that it could be Sony. (GMM) Subbed by AJN.

I would. Spartacus Maybe Lotus will also try and get the Honda engine? WestMclarenMercedes They do not need bouiller let alone sam michael. If they want to succed get ross brawn to join the team as team principal and not thise two wankers. MightyK @WestMclarenMercedes: Couldn't agree more! DickDastardly unfortunately ferrari will win nothing with LOLonso and kimi. alonso will attempt to blackmail steffano dominicali as a result of the challenge of kimi, and will want car development to his style. LOLonso failed to beat a rookie in the same car which proves why alonso is not able to beat other good drivers in the same car. the thing is LOLonso is a slow driver and is responsible for ferraris lack of development. he has done nothing but get worse and worse each year. hamilton, vettel and kimi are superior drivers. i feel sorry for kimi having to have a narcissistic devious man as a team mate, because all LOLonso will do is bring kimi and ferrari down with him Matthew @dickdastardly Wow. Random rant. Anyway, mclaren would be stupid to hire boulier. But giving their pathetic performances on and off the track, I wouldn't be surprised one bit. I imagine sony will sponsor mclaren in 15 when they get honda engines. But who knows? Maybe lotus will run honda power in 15. Nowhereman @DickDastardly… what have you been smoking? You got your panties in a wad dude. Alonso is fast, smart and can drive any car better than anyone else. Kimi is fast and smart also. They both will have a winning car this year and their biggest contestant will be each other. It's all about getting points and with those two, it will be getting lots of points each race. Ferrari should win the Mfgs title this year and both of those drivers will end up in the top three this year. AlsoRan Will be interesting to see the Alo/Rai rivalry. But will they really be at the front of the pack?

This beautiful farm and park with a view of the Smokey Mountains to the west gives a unique experience for motorhomes. Each site has a great view and full hookups. Wild turkeys and deer abound. The owners raise chickens for eggs, ballerina geese for their beauty and bees for organic honey. The breakfast ($15) is optional but should not be missed, at least once. The park caters only to motorhomes; there are no shower or restroom facilities. One of the owners has every tool imaginable and is ready to help with RV problems. The other is a great cook. - Mtmoi
A very pleasant and relaxing park. The owners are wonderful and treat you like family. A couple of corrections to previous posts would be I do not believe there are showers and restrooms available. The park is designed for motorhomes that are fully contained. I do not see any of this as a negative but more of a clarification. If I had a complaint it would be the design of the water hookup on one site. It is designed to be shared via splitters and this presents issues for some RVers. Again I love the place and will visit again. - slick60
This has to be the "Best Kept Secret" in North Carolina RV'ing! Beautiful property with level lots and excellent utility hook-ups. The hosts treat you like family.

Owner seemed friendly enough, but it is not a campground we will be going back to. The road down to the campground was narrow and very steep, not easy to navigate. It was a very small campground with almost no amenities. There was a laundry room and it was clean. The roads are gravel and so are the small sites. Our spot was fairly level but the sewer connection was up hill and around a huge tree stump and roots. There are no shade trees, but a lot of stumps where trees used to be, no pool, no bath house. Pets are allowed, in fact the owner has a few dogs that he allows to run loose, one of which charged us and growled at us. - esta34950

Staff and campers were very friendly. Pull-thru site was quite long. Be careful when making turns in campground. Some are very tight and must be taken as wide as possible, especially if you're in a longer motorhome. Best to have someone outside to guide you through the turns. Some of the trees could have been better trimmed. - TGOHal
The owner of this park was exceptionally friendly. Led us to our level spot, made sure we got hooked up OK, and told us of the free firewood stacked around the property. Loaned us a cable for TV hookup. Most sites are permanent seasonal units but are very clean and neat. The restrooms and laundry room are spotless! We would definitely stay here again. - MsLucy
Two years ago we made a reservation to stay here a week and ended up staying a month. We returned last summer and again this year. It's a lovely, wooded RV park on a mountain just south of Franklin. Its location on Georgia Road (Hwy 23/441) makes it convenient to attractions, restaurants, and the town with its farmer's market on Saturdays, farmer's co-op on Wednesdays, and concerts on the square on Saturday evenings. Typical of most residential mountain communities in Franklin, the roads are single-lane. The Fire Dept. requires those in the RV park to be one-way. However, when you arrive, one of the owners will guide you most expeditiously to your site. If you happen to stay in 1 or 2 of the trickier sites, they will suggest you call them when you pull out. We saw one camper who didn't, and he got woefully stuck. But that is the exception. People are friendly. Most of the seasonal residents are retirees, up from Florida. The bathrooms and Laundromat are clean. Some roads are paved, some are gravel; campsites are gravel. Some sites afford less space from neighbors than we prefer. Many sites include a deck. Has weekly and monthly rates. - danielandtricia

A great location between Franklin and Highlands. Park is also close to the quaint town of Dillsboro. The owner was very helpful and was on site. We had a river view and it was beautiful when we were there in October with the fall foliage changing colors. All the services were excellent and the price includes cable tv and wi-fi. The park is very clean and beautiful with trees. A convenience store and restaurant are next door. There is a large grassy area for your pet. We hope to visit again next fall. - budolemiss
The Park is made up with mainly long term renters. Many people leave their camper here full time. All the long term campers were very nice to us short timers. The sites are tight but nothing too bad. We stayed on the river, site 45. All of the river site are beautiful.The finality is will maintained. We would come back again. Lot to do and see, Highlands NC especially. - johnrobertpowers
We stayed 4 days and enjoyed this park. It is mostly older retired people from Florida, staying for the summer, but they were very nice and welcomed us to all activities. Would not recommend for young family other than to stop overnight. We would stay here again. - ShagsMom

This may be the prettiest park we have stayed in so far! The park is small, but very nicely laid out and landscaped. There are a couple of large pull-throughs near the front of the park. We stayed in the back of the park. Our site backed up to a nice meadow with plenty of trees. The sites are large, some close together (for groups) and some set apart (what we wanted). The pads are wood chips, which are soft to walk on. There is a great covered pavilion with rocking chairs, tables, games and a fireplace. The bathrooms were clean, modern, and were nicely decorated, also. We didn't notice any road noise, although the park is convenient to US 23/441. Note that the signs from the highway and the turn are not very clearly marked. We will definitely stay here next time we visit Franklin and Highlands. - Jeff & Christy
Wonderful, friendly park just off the highway, but quiet enough. Large park, small sites that are level with wood chips on road base. Wi-Fi was weak, but Verizon signal was strong. Cable was good. As mentioned, 50/30/110@20, water (tastes great too!), septic, cable. Tends to fill up on weekends, so reservations are a must. Franklin, NC is a nice sized town with all amenities and mountains, rivers, waterfalls, biking trails, hiking trails,etc. Great fall color! - JohnandDeb
We stayed here for 1-1/2 weeks. Beautiful and well-maintained park; staff extremely helpful and friendly. Love the surrounding area. Entrance is steep but short so getting up to the office is easy. Recommend pulling around the office to unhook your toad. Will definitely visit this park again. - Happy Journeys

Our single night's stay was very enjoyable! We viewed Deer drinking form a small pond just below our ridge site. The sounds of Geese and wild birds was awesome! We didn't use the bath house but did check it out! It had updated showers and a very nice handicapped shower. All in all it was a pleasure to stay there! - elm-jlm

Park is very well maintained with paved interior roads and grassy sites. Staff could not have been more helpful. I was parked in the back so the road noise from the adjacent 4 lane highway was not annoying. However, those sites next to the road have a different take on the situation. My water hookup was at ground level thus a pain, electric and sewer were fine. Cable consisted of 4 channels which is enough for me. Wi-Fi was almost nonexistent, so worse than none at all. I don't have kids and I am in the area to explore, thus I'm gone early and return in time to cook dinner. Posh parks with lots of amenities are wasted on me. This place with its lower cost serves my purpose. If I'm ever back in the area I would try to find something better. - plove
Another great stay at this incredibly scenic park at the foot of The Great Smoky Mts. Very close to The Appalachian Trail and The Nantahala National Forest. Lots to do and see in this area. We have been coming to this Park and area for ten years and still haven't seen it all. Hope I can come for many more, and stay here. Owner/Operators are great and we always enjoy our stay. - NEEP46
This is a Great little Park with wonderful owners and beautiful surroundings. We have stayed here many times before and I can't wait to come back. It is a Nice Park to tour the Franklin and Lower Smokey Mountain area, with many National Parks around. The Owners are on site and are very helpful to all their Campers. We will be back. NOTE: I don't know what park the reviewer who gave a (1) was at, but I am sure it was not this one. - NEEP46

Great campground with a great and very helpful staff. Would highly recommend. - buddyboys
Our site was changed 3 times, and the last time, the site they gave us, someone was already in there. Dogs ran wild, doing their business anywhere and on our camper tires. The campground had potential but I guess since the campground was for sale, the owners let it run down somewhat. The pictures on their website is way out of date. The roads are in disrepair and would be a beast for a camper 30' or larger. We will not be back. - The Dellinger's
Difficult for big rigs but doable. Only 1 pull thru site. Waterline was broken but didn't tell us until after we paid. NO refunds. Camp rumour has they are closing the RV side and making it a mobile home park. Mostly seasonals. Gem mine on site is owned by someone else. We wouldn't stay here in future. Too hard to get to with little to show for it. - Mushroom

Drop dead gorgeous park! Right on the Appalachian Trail. Waterfalls, rivers, great fall color. No electric at sites; No water at sites. In the cool fall weather (dipping into the upper 20's) a generator is a must (which we didn't have). So, we had to pack it up and go to a lower elevation. Would be a wonderful 14 day stay with a generator. Seems like many sites would handle a large motor coach. Sites are level and have gravel and black top. Water can be obtained easily from the many spigots that are threaded. - JohnandDeb
Wow, what a surprise! Very nice, quiet campground in the Nantahala National Forest. No frills, just quiet and peaceful. Five loops, each has a campground host. Beware of the recreation.gov website, however. I originally booked a site in loop 5 which obviously couldn't accommodate a 29' travel trailer. Reservationist told me it should accommodate a rig up to 55'. No way, the site may have handled a small pop up. Had to cancel and lost a $20.00 cancellation fee (that fight isn't over yet). Anyway, very nice campground. Will be back. - rcknrbn
The campground has 5 loops each with its own very clean bathhouse. Loop 1 is like camping in an evergreen forest with not a lot of underbrush. Loops 2-4 are located in a flat open area with more hardwood trees. Some of these sites have no shade. Loop 5 is on the hillside and the campsites are shady and surrounded by rhododendron. This loop has a gravel road and is suited for tent camping. There is also a group camping area located off loop 3 with pit toilets and a large open spaces for tents. Each loop has a host and they were always friendly and busy making sure the campground is well maintained. There are no hook ups for electricity or water but there are ample spigots located through out the campground in each loop. There is a small store in the campground which kept regular hours during my stay and sold drinks, snacks, ice, firewood and other items. There are many trails accessible from the campground for you to enjoy and kids enjoy playing in the Nantahala River and Kimsey Creek. Many kids also had fun riding their bikes through the campground loops. The campground has a dump station located just outside the entrance near the back country information board. This was a very friendly campground and I can't wait to return. - mediaman

We have stayed here several times. We are always impressed by the cleanliness, the staff, the flowers, and just how beautiful the campground is. Wii fi is spot on. We had a problem once getting connected, and the staff immediately fixed the issue. Trash is picked up at your site, and so quickly that it seems they are hiding nearby just waiting for it to show up. The bathrooms/showers are in individual rooms so you have it all to yourself, and they are impeccably clean. The owners obviously take great pride in offering a resort where you want to return. My only somewhat negative comment is that some sites are more susceptible to highway noise than others. Definitely recommend. - Free
Initial impression was excellent. After prompt checkin, staff escorted us to our site. He assisted with the backing and gave us orientation of the site. Excellent service. Garbage pickup is provided if you leave it out around 9AM. There are 3 bathrooms on the top level and 1 bathroom on the bottom level. Each of those bathrooms are private style. You lock the door and it is yours until you are done. Sink,toilet,and shower. Very clean, like in a hotel. I am not kidding. Only thing that they don't allow is campers that are not fully contained. I didn't fully understand that definition when i checked in. I later learned that to qualify as "fully contained" means that your camper needs to have plumbing, meaning toilet/shower/kitchen sink. My camper does not have a toilet or even a sink. I did not install it not wanting to keep the camper simple. So, I am not sure now that I can go back to that campground, knowing that I will be going against their rule. My wife and I did fully enjoy the place. - danny kim
Park is beautiful. All sites are back in but not a problem to get in to. Clubhouse is one of the best I have seen, with two working kitchens available. Sites are gravel and level. I did not see one RV with tires off the ground. Plenty of staff around and even someone to help you plan your stay and give you info on all the activities going on during your time in Franklin. I will return and I encourage clubs looking for a club friendly park to visit Great Outdoors. - slick60

This is a no frills park. No staff. Register at Antique Mall Depot in Whistle Stop Antique Mall. Sites are all asphalt and level. All sites have full hook-up. There was only one trailer here when we were here for 5 days. Right on Georgia Rd. in Franklin. Very convenient. Easy in and out. Convenient to restaurants and shopping. We will stay here again. - Betty D

Rated 3.8 out of 5?by 4 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5?by mab941 Nice, quiet Bradenton community! I've lived in Harbour Pointe Apartments for 16 years. I do enjoy living here. Nicole, the assistant manager, is truly one of the most incredible people we've had here. She is a wonderful woman who works her behind off to keep this community active and put-together. She's always got a smile on her face and is very nice. I always enjoy saying hi to her. Kelly is a fantastic manager who works hard to maintain this community and is someone who will look out for you...she won't screw you over. These people are not here just to collect paychecks...they do care about the community. The maintenance crew are extremely friendly people and do a fine job. It is a nice community. No, it's not brand new but it's been maintained well and is a decent place for someone who needs shelter for a few months or on a more permanent basis. I like the parking system Harbour Pointe has in place, it keeps unwanted cars out of here and if you use the permits/guest passes correctly, you'll have no problem. I have great neighbors, people who look out for each other. The place is very quiet. We have get-together's now and then which I personally enjoy. Granted no place is "picture perfect", there are somethings I might change, but overall I believe Harbour Pointe is one of the better rental communities in Bradenton. If you're looking for a nice place to call home, I recommend giving Harbour Pointe a try! March 22, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5?by lmhc Great value for the area We have been here for almost 2 months now and enjoy living here. It's very quiet, no noisy/crazy neighbors...everyone is friendly...and staff do what they can to accommodate the residents. It's not a modern "new" apartment complex, but it is a happy medium for those who are not looking to spend more on a newer place and who do not want to live in a less desirable part of the area...and the beaches are literally down the road, can't beat it! January 20, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5?by Deb27 So far so good Just moved in. Had a few glitches with move in date but staff were very helpful. So far pleased with my choice. Everyplace has there problems, but I feel that they are attentive and timely. August 2, 2013
Rated 1 out of 5?by no way do not have friend over they will tow your guess car..with out even waiting 10 hours.. nice.... they didn't even tell us you had too.. that's the great thing about it.. had a friend over to swim came out to leave and they towed her car May 24, 2013

Brian Cooper nets ECD role at Ogilvy
By Sara Kimberley, campaignlive.co.uk, Thursday, 24 January 2013 07:00AM
Ogilvy & Mather has poached Brian Cooper, a senior creative at Apple, to become its executive creative director.
Cooper, the iAd head of creative and strategy, EMEA, at Apple, will report to Gerry Human, who has been promoted to chief creative officer at O&M.
Cooper will initially focus on the global Philips account before extending his remit to other clients.
Cooper has spent just over a year at Apple, having previously worked at Wieden & Kennedy as the global executive creative director. At W&K, Cooper was responsible for leading the creative and strategic output on the Nokia account.
He also spent two years as a creative director of Dare, where he oversaw the creative output of the agency's London and New York offices.
Cooper has won 16 Cannes Lions and five One Show Interactive Pencils for campaigns spanning clients including Sony Ericsson, Lynx and Vodafone.
Human said: "Over the years, Brian has consistently produced outstanding creative work and he has the right kind of experience to handle complex global brands."
Cooper added: "Ogilvy's Dove Facebook campaign really demonstrated to me that this is an agency looking to produce exciting, fresh work, relevant for the modern world."
O&M continues its search for a London chief executive to replace Hugh Baillie, who left the agency last year. Andy Bird, the creative director, also departed O&M last year.

TodaysWirelessWorld.com, a highly respected e-magazine that has been reporting on the wireless technology industry for almost a decade, has named Affinegy CEO Melissa Simpler and CTO Art Lancaster to its list of the top 100 most influential wireless technology experts for 2014.
Affinegy (www.affinegy.com) is a global provider of service enablement software and connected device management solutions under the product brand of CHARIOT – accelerant for the Internet of Things.
The editors for TodaysWirelessWorld.com compiled this first list by searching for technology innovators and business leaders all across the wireless ecosystem, including the burgeoning area of the "Internet of Things" (IoT) and "Machine-to-Machine" (M2M) communications. The editors then conducted interviews with industry sources to refine and vet the list to best reflect an elite group of Wireless WavemakersTM who:
Are technology drivers and thought leaders in their given area of focus and have demonstrated extensive expertise
Offer dynamic and innovative solutions to address various wireless technology challenges
Contribute their skills to an important/impactful organization within the wireless industry
Influence the future development of wireless technologies
"Melissa, and Art exemplify what it means to be a leader and innovator in this space," said Clay Zeigler, Editor of TodaysWirelessWorld.com. "They have been instrumental in positioning Affinegy as a major player in the IoT movement."
Simpler said the company's focus on security and scalability has led to its emergence and early active roles in organizations, such as the AllSeen Alliance, which is bent on making the Internet of Everything a reality. "The recognition of us isn't so much about what we have accomplished individually as much as what we have accomplished as a team," said Simpler.

Speech at the Hanwang Forum
Speech by Mr. Patrick Haverman, Deputy Country Director, UNDP China
Ladies and gentlemen, distinguished guests:
Good morning!
It is my great pleasure and privilege to address this prestigious forum, and I want to specially thank the Deyang Municipal Government for sponsoring it. This is indeed a truly international open platform for us to jointly advance the important agenda of disaster prevention and relief and sustainable development.
Our gathering today is particularly significant, as this year witnesses the Lushan earthquake and marks the fifth anniversary of the Wenchuan earthquake. The host city, Deyang, has suffered huge human and economic losses from these two devastating disasters.
However, the city and its people have demonstrated remarkable resilience and optimism, and achieved commendable success in post-earthquake reconstruction in the past five years.
Therefore it is very timely and appropriate for us to assemble here to take stock of our past disaster prevention and relief efforts, and to jointly strengthen our cooperation to build a resilient and sustainable society.
In the last decade, disaster claimed over 1 million lives and caused 1 trillion dollars loss worldwide. A most recent destructive disaster is the Lushan earthquake last month. While we are deeply saddened by the loss of lives and devastation, we are heartened by the tremendous efforts and immediate response by the Chinese government in earthquake relief and recovery. UNDP is supporting the Chinese government with early recovery. Unfortunately
According to UN Office for Disaster Risk Reduction, the global trend is that underlying disaster risk drivers will grow and the risks will be increasingly trans-boundary in nature. That is why China's experience in disaster management is particularly worth sharing and international cooperation in that regard is very relevant in today's context.
We at UNDP perceive disasters as a fundamental threat to development. Our goal is to promote a more resilient form of development with partners. We achieve this objective through strengthening national and local capacities for disaster risk management and through mainstreaming disaster risk reduction into development planning and practices.
We have been working closely with the Chinese government to explore solutions to specific challenges in local contexts, including landslides and debris in Ningxia, snowmelt flood in Xinjiang, as well as drought and desertification in Xinjiang.
The emphasis is on disaster preparedness and awareness, as every dollar invested into this preparedness saves seven dollars in disaster aftermath. For each of these projects, we make sure to address the needs of the most vulnerable, women, children, the aged and the disabled, since they are the ones hit hardest by natural disasters.
Meanwhile, we are about to launch a project with the China Law Society to help improve China's legal system for disaster preparedness, thus creating an enabling legal environment for successful disaster management.
In the past years, UNDP has been increasingly committed to building global partnerships and strengthening South-South and North-South cooperation in disaster management. In particular, we are facilitating collaboration efforts between China and Asian countries such as Bangladesh and Nepal, in order to build knowledge sharing networks and assist local communities in strengthen resilience and adapting to climate change.
We are also working on building a platform for China and African countries to cooperate on drought management. These projects join the forces of UNDP, donor agencies, the governments of China and developing countries, aiming at sharing valuable experience in terms of disaster management, preparedness and response.
While UNDP is working to promote civil society engagement and community-based risk reduction, we are very pleased to learn that civil society has played an active role in disaster management in China.
With disaster relief experience gained in the Wenchuan earthquake, civil society organisations acted very swiftly and in an organised manner in response to the Lushan earthquake.
This has been demonstrated by the fact that civil society staff were among the first relief workers permitted on the ground. More encouragingly, new organisation practices start to emerge. The NGOs self-organised themselves by forming the "4.20" alliance, a platform for information and funding sharing, to ensure better coordination and transparency.
With the signing of the Memorandum of Understanding between UNDP and Hanwang Forum Preparatory Committee, UNDP will take an important step to enhance its partnerships with private and social sectors.
Looking into the future, UNDP will continue to strive to mainstream disaster prevention and preparedness into national and international development agendas, while looking at innovative ways of collaboration with partners.
This forum provides a very good opportunity for us to share experience and discuss collaborative actions. Together, we will form a more efficient disaster response community to save the humanity from more catastrophes.
Again, thank you and I wish much success to the Forum.

A rattling noise from the engine may indicate that the timing chain cassette is worn. Our technicians tell us that installing an updated cassette and timing chain tensioner should correct this concern.Google+
Car Problem Reports
Mercury Mountaineer Worn Timing Chain Cassettes May Cause Rattling Noise From Engine
Mercury Mountaineer Problem
Model Years Affected: 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006
Engines Affected: 4.0L V6, 4.0L V6 SOHC, 4.6L V8, 5.0L V8
Average Mileage: 125,844 mi (66,000 mi - 190,000 mi)
BAD_FINGER, 2005 Mercury Mountaineer, 4.0L V6, 90,200 miRookie
Issue sounded just like a "spark knock" only under acceleration around he 2000-3000 RPM range. The easy fix of running a tank full of high octane gas made no change in the noise. I replaced the knock sensor to see if the engine timing was not being compensated correctly. This still made no change. To determine if it was a mechanical part in the engine, I dumped an entire quart of Lucas Engine Oil Treatment into the engine. As soon as I drove it for a test drive the "rattle" noise at the 2000-3000 RPM range was gone and the engine sounded very smooth. I drove the car very easy for the next few months to get past winter and progressively there began a light rattle at startup also which slightli went away a\s the engine warmed up. The startup rattle started to get louder and louder after the next few weeks to the point I decided to tear it apart (I dont recommend tearing it apart for everyone, I am a Journeyman Machinist and a master mechanic of 20 years certified with my mechanical engineering degree). After removing the upper intake plenum, the fuel rails and a few wires, I popped the passenger side valve cover and noticed the problem. The oil infused nylon that the tensioner shoe is made from was obliterated. I put some pressure on the cam to relieve the chain on the tension side and was able to pull a large portion of the broken tensioner shoe out with my fingers. The rest of it seems to of been ground into chunks and now lies in the bottom of the oil pan.
It works like a big speaker in theory. Right under the valve cover on the passenger side, as you are standing in front of the car looking at it, to the right of the cam gear their is a machined stud that is a funny looking shoulder screw. This shoulder screw is what the upper portion of the tensioner shoe hooks to. When the tensioner shoe breaks (as they all do), it falls off the shoulder screw allowing the timing chain to now slap around and ride very tightly against the bare steel side of the shoulder screw. The effect is like a needle on a record player making a very loud noise.
After a close mechanical assessment after replacing all of the timing chains and tensioners in the vehicle, I cannot see why there has not been a recall on this design flaw. I noticed that the majority of the issues listed through different dealers seem to be about 80,000 mile range. As this design was started in 2002 the vast majority of these cars did NOT reach the mileage point by the time the design was ended in 2006. I think FORD saw the "red flag" and re-engineered after 2006 after a bunch of repairs started coming in on vehicles that were still within the engine and powertrain warranty. The list of repairs for warranty was not enough to trigger a recall on the engineering and design although this is actually one of the most well known flaws and failures of design for an engine.

Visitor, 2002 Mercury Mountaineer, 4.6L V8, 145,000 mi
My Mountaineer makes a very high pitched annoying sound when I start it and the noise level increases as I push on the gas pedal and accelerate. I have been so curious as to what causes this and how to fix it. I have taken it into a garage, but they have said they didn't know what it is. Sometimes the noise will subside and I won't hear it for a few days, but typically it is very loud.

rattles on startup, metallic like rattle of a heat sheild.

Broken timing chain presumably caused by broken tensioner. Ford wants $3500 to fix!

Visitor, 2004 Mercury Mountaineer, 4.0L V6, 112,000 mi
rattling sound at idle, as well as when accelerating, until reaching stable speed. Told it was a timing chain issue. Waiting for estimate on cost, but was told it would be expensive (like $2000 or more)

that car makes noise when it runs. has been doing this for about 5 years now. havent gotten it fix
Visitor, 1998 Mercury Mountaineer, 5.0L V8, 66,000 mi
loud tapping noise or ticking from engine. louder as I excellerate but does quite down some as the car warms.

Just to say this is now day three of using the bin. To be honest before I used it I was very sceptical about its claims to get so hot. Amazing! Just went out to look at the temperature on the lid this morning and couldn't believe what I was seeing. After a chilly night it was showing an incredible 40C.I quickly lifted the lid to see what was going on and could barely see the contents through the steam! What an ingenious invention this hotbin is. Now thinking how can keep the supply of material going! (It was filled almost to the top)

I have had my hotbin for 3 months now, and have delayed reviewing it until I have some experience. Without doubt it is the best compost bin I have ever had. It got up to 50 degrees in a couple of days and has been there or higher ever since, including being unfed for 2 weeks while on holiday. It swallows chicken manure (with shredded cardboard bedding), dog poo, all our kitchen waste, and some garden refuse. No flies, no rodents and not very much smell. I would heartily recommend it. So, why not 5 stars? There are a couple of issues that could be improved to make it even better. Important to stress that theses are fairly minor things that have room for improvement not reasons not to buy one! The most important is leachate management. Initially it produced far too much of very stinky fluid, due to feeding it too many grass clippings, even though well mixed with shredded paper and bulking agent. the resulting pond led to it being banished from the patio to behind the garage. It no longer has indigestion, but still produces the coffee-cupful a day that still has to be drained away or my dog drinks it. Some sort of collecting spout would help channel it into a suitable receptacle.Second is getting the compost out. You have to tuck a sheet of polythene under the door, get down on your hands and knees and rake it out with the stirrer tool. Bit undignified and a bit stinky if you have let any of it go anaerobic. A fairly minor niggle but something to think about for Mark 2.Finally, it just isn't big enough. It copes very well with the compostable waste from 2 adults, 5 chickens and a dog, but there isn't much spare capacity for garden waste as well. OK I could get 2 or 3 more, but cost becomes a significant issue. If you ever design a mega-bin for large gardens please can I pilot test it!PS I am not the John Adams from permaculture magazine who has reviewed it already - it's a common name!

I bought the hotbin because I have loads of chicken waste to dispose of. My existing composters were not sufficient and took ages to produce anything at the bottom. Within a week of loading it up to the top I had 10 inches to spare to fill up again. I have a hotbin and a Green Johanna and the hotbin is constantly at 50-65 degrees. But you do have to stir it weekly and keep topping it up with fresh "food". The Green Johanna is supposed to be a hot composter but is barely warm. You can cook potatoes in the hotbin it is that good. If you could find a way of recovering all that heat you would be onto a winner. These are that good I am about to buy another so that tells you something.

I bought a Hotbin as I had nowhere to put regular bins. Like other very positive reviewers I've read here, my hotbin is chugging away nicely, 55 degrees. But I didn't realise what a faff it was going to be to provide ENOUGH shredded paper (husband's office sends theirs away, confidential); shredded cardboard (I spent 45 minutes -listening to In Our Time - while I cut up a large carton that had already been through a shredder); and buying sacks of woodchip for aeration. I was good at traditional composting, but with my new Hotbin I had to take out a very soggy mess, dry it, and remix it with the above ingredients; and yes, now it's working really well. I got more information (excellent) from the website than the leaflet. So it's not that free and easy to run, you need to invest time, care, and some money in it. Whatever you do, make sure you have accumulated enough proper materials and waste to get it started. Read the small print!

Unlike cold composting, HOTBIN is an aerobic composter where the bacteria require food to digest, oxygen and the right moisture content to hot compost effectively. This means that bulking agent needs to be added with waste to maintain good airflow (oxygen for the bacteria) through the bin and shredded paper should be added to help control excess moisture when adding wet waste in the bin such as food waste and grass. View our recommendations: How Much Bulking Agent, How Much Shredded Paper.
Hotbin arrived well wrapped and was easy to lift by myself and place next to my wheelie bins. I followed the instructions to create a good base layer by chopping up garden material into small pieces and mixing with grass, wood chips and shredded paper so there was lots of air circulating. I filled the bin half full. This took some time and required patience but paid off as just a day later the temperature in the bin had risen considerably as indicated on the long stem thermometer.Delighted with it and busy saving all kitchen waste and asking family to save it too so I can keep feeding the hotbin. Can't wait to dig out my first batch of compost as I know it will be of great benefit to my garden and veg plot and compost will have been created from things we would have previously discarded.Having had a scare from a rat in my last compost heap I had thought that I would not be composting ever again. The hotbin has changed all that being pretty much rodent proof and I am delighted to be back making my own compost. Brilliant!

Just a few lines to sing the praises of the Hotbin. It was received on 13 Jan and brought into use on 16th. Today 23rd it is about 2/3 full and the temperature is 80 degrees. I would not have believed it and it appears to do exactly as advertised. I will describe the final result in due course.

I have only had the bin for a week and already I love it. I have a very small courtyard garden and have had a compost heap for 18months with very little results.It took more than 48hrs to build up heat but being a patient person I waited and kept consulting the leaflet. Its now running at 45 degrees and climbing.One thing - I didnt read the leaflet properly with regard to the long thermometer and pushed it deep, then couldnt understand why it wasnt heating. up. Duh!I am sure it will pay for itself easily and would recommend it to anyone.

This composter is worth every penny! I only got mine a few weeks ago and didn't expect wonders as the temperature dropped and it was rather cold outside. I set it up with plenty of veg peel, cardboard and some plant cuttings and skipped adding the bulking agent as my dog has any food leftovers. I buried the hot water bottle inside and left it. 5 days later I came to add more feed to my composter and was pleasantly surprised when a load of steam came out after opening the lid...its working ! I am so impressed and happy; I wish I had gotten one much sooner. A very happy customer.

I have not come across this level of good support anywhere. Tony stuck with me as I had a troublesome start. A cracked seal seemed to be the culprit and a new bin was dispatched immediately. Had a slow start with this and then finally after adding more paper while taking bottom back up to top I achieved 72c in a few days.I am so impressed with the bin and the service that I have ordered another one! Brilliant, well done Tony.

Totally changed life in my kitchen. ALL my compostable waste goes straight into the bin and rapidly breaks down to provide room for more - as well as giving me superb compost! Would not want to be without out a hotbin now and have told all my friends to get one.

It would have been a wrench to leave, but on the other side of it, I have to think of my career.
I have to play games and have something to look forward to during the week, putting all that work in on the training field to send fans home happy on a Saturday.
I didn't have that last year, but I still carried on going. At times, it was mentally demoralising.
I want to play. Everybody knows I want to play. It's not in my nature to sit on the bench. I would rather go and play for a Championship team on less money and play every week, just so I get that buzz on a Saturday.

Most companies incorporate backup procedures for critical data, which can be restored quickly if a loss occurs. However, fewer companies are prepared for catastrophic system failures, in which they lose all data, the entire operating system, applications, settings, patches and more, reducing their system(s) to "bare metal." After all, before data can be restored to a system, there must be a system to restore it to.
In this one hour webinar, learn how to enhance your existing backup strategies for better disaster recovery preparedness using Storix System Backup Administrator (SBAdmin), a highly flexible bare-metal recovery solution for UNIX and Linux systems.
