"Provide a world-class customer experience and dominate your market." -- John R. DiJulius
As consultative sales courses always emphasize, it's not about what your product or service does, it's all about what your product or service can do for me. It's the customer's perception of you, in other words, their experience of you, that really counts. You are the salesperson. You are also the email, blog post, tweet, and anything else that represents your business.
Here are 10 tips to help you and your business improve the customer experience.
Tip #1: Walk A Mile In Your Customers' Shoes
The customer experience needs to become your experience. Put yourself in every step from first impressions to sales transaction. Test everything as if you are the customer. What happens after you paid your money? Or what happens if you really don't like something?
It's really the Golden Rule of Customer Experience: Treat your customers even better than you would like to be treated as a customer.
Tip #2: Keep Repeating Tip Number One
It's impossible to overstate the importance of getting out from behind the counter, closed door, top floor, manufacturing plant, kitchen stove -- or wherever your daily work keeps you -- and experience your product or service through the customer's eyes. Are you getting lost in a phone tree to fix a problem? Keep notes.
Turning the tables and experiencing what the customer experiences offers valuable insight. Improve, change, fix, or eliminate those aspects you did not like or that did not meet your company standards. How can you improve your service?
Tip #3: Do What It Takes to Get First-Hand Experience
It may not be easy to experience your company as a customer. If you are well-known and easily recognized in your company, you might need to consider other options beyond donning a fake mustache or wig.
"Secret shoppers" or "hidden eaters" are good proxies. If this proves impossible, another option is to ask close confidants to experience the sales cycle. Be sure you find someone who will do you the favor of offering detailed, and perhaps harsh, assessments.
Tip #4: Respond Personally to Online Critique
Read the comments people post about your business and answer them personally. This includes the good, the bad, and the awful. Listen to what your customers are saying. It is easy to become defensive, but real value can be derived from feedback.
If the feedback is bad, find out why. Customers who share bad experiences are doing you a favor. You need to decide if it is worth changing that part of the experience, and resist judging the messenger.
Tip #5: Focus Groups Still Work Wonderfully
Can you handle the truth about your product or service? Talk to your customers. Online surveys are fine, but nothing replaces real, personal feedback. Try to solicit all your customers for feedback, not a carefully selected list of your best supporters. Just don't forget that it's all about listening to your customers, and not about you.
Tip #6: Test Your 24/7 Salesman -- Your Website
Are you giving your customers a great online experience? Design, usability and content matter. For example, does your website work across all the browsers -- not just the one you use? Can it be viewed easily on a smart phone or tablet? Have you maximized the experience for all devices and screen resolutions? Have you carefully inventoried your content to make sure it's useful for customers, prospects, and other audiences?
Tip #7: Experience All Customer Pathways and Touchpoints
Have you tested the customer's experience from start to finish on all products or services? Have you taken the same steps required to purchase online as you have to purchase offline? It is valuable to experience multiple customer pathways to ensure you have tested everything necessary to offer a memorable and outstanding customer experience (the only one worth having).
Tip #8: Study Other Businesses Carefully
"Smart people learn from their own mistakes, wise people learn from others' mistakes." It's an old saw for a reason. Keep close tabs on industry leaders and look for inspiration elsewhere to improve customer experiences. Try tip #1 above, but at other businesses, including your close competitors. What are they doing better or worse than you? What can you learn from these businesses that interact with the same type of customers?
Tip #9: Rinse and Repeat With the Entire Fleet
Everyone who works for you and represents your business should also walk a mile in the customers' shoes to taste the customer experience from the flip side. This can be a fun exercise, but also extremely valuable, as others will observe parts of the process you've overlooked that can be improved. Be willing to take insight and suggestions from anyone on the team as long as it supports the overall goal of stellar service.
Tip #10: Think: Are You a Happy Customer?
You'll know you have really taken on the mission to understand your operation from the customer's perspective when you start to get creative and come up with your own ideas to improve the customer experience. Then it's your turn to write up the next case study on how you improved your customer's experience, and the bottom line.

Bike Assembler Interview
Application DetailsI applied online. The process took a day – interviewed at Toys ''R'' Us in June 2010.
Interview DetailsI applied on a Saturday, later at night, via an online job website that directed me to the Toys R Us website. The following evening, not even twenty four hours later, I got a call to come in the next day for a group interview.
Group interview: Arrived early, was sent to what I believe is the employee break room to wait for the HR person to come in. She introduced herself, told us a little bit about herself and what we would be doing for the interview process and gave us pamphlets on the various services of the company. We broke in to small groups, one group of two and a group of three, and proceeded to interview each other. After that was done, we then "sold" each other to the HR using the information we got during the activity. HR then went out and got items from the store that we got to play with for a bit before we then "sold" the items to either the store manager or HR or to sell it like we were in a commercial. The next activity was accepting the "Georffry award for whatever we felt we would get awarded for.
1:1 Interview: After the group portion we went to a different room for one on one interviews with the store manager and the HR. They asked about availability, what I thought my references would have to say about us. I was asked a few questions about any experience I had, signed a consent paper for a background. They said they'd call to let me know if they were going to do the background check so that I could be sure to get the uniform clothes for orientation.
Getting hired: The day after the interview I received the call. I was told that I was being offered a position as Sales Associate rather than Assembler which was one of the positions I also said I'd be willing to work. The HR informed me that they were going to do the background check and to get my clothes ready for the orientation, for which she will be calling me.Interview Questions- Reason for accepting the Geoffry award.

Bike Assembler Interview
Application DetailsI applied online. The process took a day – interviewed at Toys ''R'' Us in June 2010.
Interview DetailsI received a phone call about a week or two after applying online for the position of Bike Assembler and was told that they weren't hiring for that position but were for Sales Associates and Stocking. I arrived about 5 minutes early and was told to pick any toy from the store and then go to the employee lounge. I walked in on time but everyone was already there sitting. Its best to arrive 10-15 minutes early because of picking a toy. We then interviewed the person sitting near us and wrote information on a piece of paper. Everyone then took turns presenting the person you interviewed to the managers. After that we took about 5 minutes to think of what they called a commercial for the toy we picked. Most people just described there toy. And then we told the managers why we picked that toy and what our all time favorite toy was. The managers said we were going to build something out of legos but decided not to because it would take a lot of time so we went on to 1 on 1 interviews. First people to arrive were first to get an interview. The interview was short and questions were simple: Why Toys R Us?, What's your biggest weakness?, What would your previous employers say you biggest strength is? and some questions about the positions your willing to work and if your good with electronics. It was so much easier and less embarrassing then I though it would after reading some of the other reviews. Just don't show up 15 minutes late wearing a t-shirt, jean skirt, and flip-flops. Someone actually did that at my interview.

Things to do in Lisbon
As one of the first European countries to send ships into the unknown during the Age of Discovery, Portugal boasts a rich and storied history – a lot of which can still be seen on the streets of Lisbon. Between visiting the Belem Tower, Mosteiro dos Jeronimos and Castelo de Sao Jorge, there are so many things to do in Lisbon for history buffs.
Built over seven hills, Lisbon offers spectacular views to those who brave a hike to the top. The Elevador de Santa Justa rising above the streets of Baixa and the Mirardouro das Portas do Sol in Alfama are just two outposts where you can take in Lisbon's breathtaking cityscape.
Still wondering what to do in Lisbon? Check out one of the city's many museums. The Calouste Gulbenkian Museum houses work by Rembrandt and Monet, and a trip to see Warhol, Picasso and Dali in the Berardo Museum will cost you nothing.
Other things to do in Lisbon include listening to traditional Fado Museum, riding the historic Tram 28 and sampling traditional Portuguese custard pastries at Pasteis de Belem.
In a former bank in Baixa, you'll find an exhaustive collection of contemporary furniture (Ponti; Studio 65) and vintage couture (Dior; Westwood). All of the 1,000 or so pieces at the Museu do Design were first bought for private use.
This 11 years-old Santos pioneer is local Paula Crespo's temple to contemporary jewelry design.
This small beer hall in Bairro Alto hosts Fado Vadio [Street Fado] nights twice a week.
The butter-soft lambskin and leather gloves rival anything you'll find in Paris, but at bargain prices.
For a taste of the past, step into this shop that has been producing handmade beeswax candles in more or less the same fashion since 1789. There are tapers, novelty sculptures, and scented varieties.
Opened more than 20 years ago by Portuguese musician Luis Dams, the Xafarix nightclub in Santos continues to offer performances by local musicians.
Though you're unlikely to schlep home a Knoll chair, don't miss a trip to Manuel Reis's design-furniture boutique, a stone's throw from Bica do Sapato.
Located next to the Jeronimos Monastery, the Belém Cultural Center (Fundação Centro Cultural de Belém, or CCB, to natives) comprises five main areas: the Conference, Performing Arts, and Exhibition Centers and the Educational and Formation Areas.
The Romanesque cathedral in the mazelike Alfama district houses 12th- and 13th-century treasures from a Moorish excavation. Be sure to stop at the adjoining cloister, which has an archaeological site with artifacts from Roman times.
Snag one of the 18 wooden stools at this diminutive Bairro Alto boîte, where you can savor a singular Chardonnay from the emerging Alentejo region and be wowed by Barca Velha—a mythical Upper Douro red released only in exceptional years.
The shop's collection of well-priced vintage jewelry includes some excellent pieces from the forties and fifties.
This latest addition to Belém's sprawling Cultural Center opened in June 2007 and houses a 1,000-plus inventory of modern and contemporary paintings, sculpture, and videos dating from 1909 (Picasso) to 2005 (Luc Tuymans).
Lisbon's train station is a Santiago Calatrava design, and one of the most innovative in Europe.
Fine foods and wines (assemble a case to ship home some of the local vintages).
This historic site offers a glimpse of early-16th-century Lisbon. Built in the ornate Manueline style to celebrate King Manuel I's Avis-Beja dynasty, the monastery's gabled limestone façade stretches the length of the square.

Why Cablevision Systems (CVC) Stock Is Higher Today
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Shares of Cablevision Systems Corp. (CVC - Get Report) are up 1.87% to $16.87 on heavy trading volume as the company said it swung to a profit in the first quarter, driven by higher rates and advertising sales that boosted its cable revenue, the Wall Street Journal reports.
The company's results significantly outpaced market expectations, even as it lost customers during the quarter.
The cable provider reported a profit of $89.8 million, or 33 cents per share, compared with a year-earlier loss of $16.1 million, or six cents per share. The year-earlier period included a loss of $71.7 million on equity derivative contracts and a $9.3 million loss from discontinued operations.
Must Read: Warren Buffett's 10 Favorite Growth Stocks
- Despite its growing revenue, the company underperformed as compared with the industry average of 5.1%. Since the same quarter one year prior, revenues slightly increased by 4.5%. Growth in the company's revenue appears to have helped boost the earnings per share.
- The gross profit margin for CABLEVISION SYS CORP is rather high; currently it is at 52.04%. It has increased from the same quarter the previous year. Regardless of the strong results of the gross profit margin, the net profit margin of 3.27% trails the industry average.
- Compared to where it was a year ago today, the stock is now trading at a higher level, reflecting both the market's overall trend during that period and the fact that the company's earnings growth has been robust. Looking ahead, the stock's rise over the last year has already helped drive it to a level which is relatively expensive compared to the rest of its industry, implying reduced upside potential.
- The company, on the basis of change in net income from the same quarter one year ago, has significantly underperformed when compared to that of the S&P 500 and the Media industry. The net income has significantly decreased by 55.5% when compared to the same quarter one year ago, falling from $116.54 million to $51.84 million.
- Net operating cash flow has decreased to $321.46 million or 39.71% when compared to the same quarter last year. In addition, when comparing the cash generation rate to the industry average, the firm's growth is significantly lower.

Thorney Prince Taylor II, 32
Special education teacher at Kirby World Academy
Some people have jobs, others have careers.
Thorney Prince Taylor II had a calling to work with students with special needs that started years ago when the 32-year-old special education teacher began working on his master's degree at Midwestern State University. He said his past experiences and training melded him into a teacher with a desire to work in the field of autism, specifically with students at Kirby World Academy who have severe autism.
"It's a life goal to make sure these students are successful," he said. "I work with other organizations to make sure parents are aware the students are receiving great service from the school district as well as our community."
Taylor said it's important that the public understands that the condition isn't the focus, rather it's the person first and then the condition.
"We've learned that we need to remove the title away from the person, because it's the person that's most important," he said. "It's not the special need or the autism or the dyslexia that defines the kids."
To truly understand his heart for service, one should know his upbringing and the influence of first his parents, Thorney Prince Taylor Sr. and Diann Taylor, and also his Wichita Falls High School mentor, Doyle Wood.
Taylor, who was an only child, said his parents were very involved in their church, the community and their professions. While growing up, he would go with his parents as they set the example and standard of community service before his very eyes.
"The way I grew up was to be a selfless person and to give back," he said. "So every chance I get, I think it's a necessity because eventually you're going to want to cross a group of people or population where they might not have (much), and somebody has to take up the slack."
Without people willing to serve others, it creates a snowball effect and impacts a community. He said that can be seen in education in that it's not a teacher's responsibility to make sure a student is fed. But if a child doesn't eat, they won't be as successful in the classroom because if they're hungry, they're not learning.
The 2011-12 Teacher of the Year for the WFISD's Special Education Department sense of service also goes outside the classroom and onto the stage. Taylor said he participated in theater in high school and college, and has combined the love of the stage and working with students with special needs to make sure those characters accurately portray a person with a disability.
He said the theater director at WFHS likes to produce plays that make the audience think, and some plays lately have included a focus on people with disabilities. He said he is collaborating with the director on a story about Helen Keller.
"She needs my input from a special education perspective on how does a person move on stage so that it's not offensive to the community if they have a child with special needs?" he said. "But, it's realistic so people get a snapshot of what it's really like."
Taylor, a 32nd Degree Mason, is also involved with the North Texas Area Special Olympics, the Wichita Falls Poetry Society, a nonviolent crisis intervention program and the Autism Conference of Texoma.

A rare civilian flight sim that's actually fun to play, where's the remake?
The Good
The variety of missions, the activity all around you (traffic, sims moving around, other air traffic if you have airport), light rail, sailboat, etc.), plenty of different choppers, ability to use your own cities (if you have SimCity 2000)
The Bad
Lack of 3D acceleration, lack of flight model (though most of the time you're too busy to notice), all objects are very low resolution (except your choppers), some impossible missions like the train rescue, the sims are stick figures

Bricking Cars, Mapping Epigenome, Machine Learning from Encrypted Data, and Phone Privacy
- Remotely Bricking Cars (BoingBoing) — story from 2010 where an intruder illegally accessed Texas Auto Center's Web-based remote vehicle immobilization system and one by one began turning off their customers' cars throughout the city.
- Beginning to Map the Human Epigenome (MIT) — Kellis and his colleagues report 111 reference human epigenomes and study their regulatory circuitry, in a bid to understand their role in human traits and diseases. (The paper itself.)
- Machine Learning Classification over Encrypted Data (PDF) — It is worth mentioning that our work on privacy-preserving classification is complementary to work on differential privacy in the machine learning community. Our work aims to hide each user's input data to the classification phase, whereas differential privacy seeks to construct classifiers/models from sensitive user training data that leak a bounded amount of information about each individual in the training data set. See also The Morning Paper's unpacking of it.
- Privacy of Phone Audio (Reddit) — unconfirmed report from Redditor I started a new job today with Walk N'Talk Technologies. I get to listen to sound bites and rate how the text matches up with what is said in an audio clip and give feed back on what should be improved. At first, I though these sound bites were completely random. Then I began to notice a pattern. Soon, I realized that I was hearing peoples commands given to their mobile devices. Guys, I'm telling you, if you've said it to your phone, it's been recorded…and there's a damn good chance a 3rd party is going to hear it.
An Internet of Things that do what they're told
Our things are getting wired together, and you're not secure if you can't control the destiny of your private information.
Editor's note: The Electronic Frontier Foundation's Cory Doctorow will be speaking at the Solid Conference in San Francisco June 23-25, 2015. Registration is now open — for more information on the program, visit the Solid website.
The digital world has been colonized by a dangerous idea: that we can and should solve problems by preventing computer owners from deciding how their computers should behave. I'm not talking about a computer that's designed to say, "Are you sure?" when you do something unexpected — not even one that asks, "Are you really, really sure?" when you click "OK." I'm talking about a computer designed to say, "I CAN'T LET YOU DO THAT DAVE" when you tell it to give you root, to let you modify the OS or the filesystem.
Case in point: the cell-phone "kill switch" laws in California and Minneapolis, which require manufacturers to design phones so that carriers or manufacturers can push an over-the-air update that bricks the phone without any user intervention, designed to deter cell-phone thieves. Early data suggests that the law is effective in preventing this kind of crime, but at a high and largely needless (and ill-considered) price.
To understand this price, we need to talk about what "security" is, from the perspective of a mobile device user: it's a whole basket of risks, including the physical threat of violence from muggers; the financial cost of replacing a lost device; the opportunity cost of setting up a new device; and the threats to your privacy, finances, employment, and physical safety from having your data compromised.

The Intimacy of Things
At what layer do we build privacy into the fabric of devices?
Editor's note: This is part of a series of posts exploring privacy and security issues in the Internet of Things. The series will culminate in a free webcast by the series author Dr. Gilad Rosner: Privacy and Security Issues in the Internet of Things will happen on February 11, 2015 — reserve your spot today.
In 2011, Kashmir Hill, Gizmodo and others alerted us to a privacy gaffe made by Fitbit, a company that makes small devices to help people keep track of their fitness activities. It turns out that Fitbit broadcast the sexual activity of quite a few of their users. Realizing this might not sit well with those users, Fitbit took swift action to remove the search hits, the data, and the identities of those affected. Fitbit, like many other companies, believed that all the data they gathered should be public by default. Oops.
Does anyone think this is the last time such a thing will happen?
Fitness data qualifies as "personal," but sexual data is clearly in the realm of the "intimate." It might seem like semantics, but the difference is likely to be felt by people in varying degrees. The theory of contextual integrity says that we feel violations of our privacy when informational contexts are unexpectedly or undesirably crossed. Publicizing my latest workout: good. Publicizing when I'm in flagrante delicto: bad. This episode neatly exemplifies how devices are entering spaces where they've not tread before, physically and informationally. Read more…
Keep me safe
Security is at the heart of the web.
We want to share. We want to buy. We want help. We want to talk.
At the end of the day, though, we want to be able to go to sleep without worrying that all of those great conversations on the open web will endanger the rest of what we do.
Making the web work has always been a balancing act between enabling and forbidding, remembering and forgetting, and public and private. Managing identity, security, and privacy has always been complicated, both because of the challenges in each of those pieces and the tensions among them.
Complicating things further, the web has succeeded in large part because people — myself included — have been willing to lock their paranoias away so long as nothing too terrible happened.
I talked for years about expecting that the NSA was reading all my correspondence, but finding out that yes, indeed they were filtering pretty much everything, opened the door to a whole new set of conversations and concerns about what happens to my information. I made my home address readily available in an IETF RFC document years ago. In an age of doxxing and SWATting, I wonder whether I was smart to do that. As the costs move from my imagination to reality, it's harder to keep the door to my paranoia closed. Read more…
There is room for global thinking in IoT data privacy matters
The best of European and American data privacy initiatives can come together for the betterment of all.
Editor's note: This is part of a series of posts exploring privacy and security issues in the Internet of Things. The series will culminate in a free webcast by the series author Dr. Gilad Rosner: Privacy and Security Issues in the Internet of Things will happen on February 11, 2015 — reserve your spot today.
As devices become more intelligent and networked, the makers and vendors of those devices gain access to greater amounts of personal data. In the extreme case of the washing machine, the kind of data — who uses cold versus warm water — is of little importance. But when the device collects biophysical information, location data, movement patterns, and other sensitive information, data collectors have both greater risk and responsibility in safeguarding it. The advantages of every company becoming a software company — enhanced customer analytics, streamlined processes, improved view of resources and impact — will be accompanied by new privacy challenges.
A key question emerges from the increasing intelligence of and monitoring by devices: will the commercial practices that evolved in the web be transferred to the Internet of Things? The amount of control users have over data about them is limited. The ubiquitous end-user license agreement tells people what will and won't happen to their data, but there is little choice. In most situations, you can either consent to have your data used or you can take a hike. We do not get to pick and choose how our data is used, except in some blunt cases where you can opt out of certain activities (which is often a condition forced by regulators). If you don't like how your data will be used, you can simply elect not to use the service. But what of the emerging world of ubiquitous sensors and physical devices? Will such a take-it-or-leave it attitude prevail? Read more…

Slack Culture, Visualizations of Text Analysis, Wearables and Big Data, and Snooping on Keyboards
- Building the Workplace We Want (Slack) — culture is the manifestation of what your company values. What you reward, who you hire, how work is done, how decisions are made — all of these things are representations of the things you value and the culture you've wittingly or unwittingly created. Nice (in the sense of small, elegant) explanation of what they value at Slack.

- The Internet of Things Has Four Big Data Problems (Alistair Croll) — What the IoT needs is data. Big data and the IoT are two sides of the same coin. The IoT collects data from myriad sensors; that data is classified, organized, and used to make automated decisions; and the IoT, in turn, acts on it. It's precisely this ever-accelerating feedback loop that makes the coin as a whole so compelling. Nowhere are the IoT's data problems more obvious than with that darling of the connected tomorrow known as the wearable. Yet, few people seem to want to discuss these problems.

Privacy Philosophy, Bitcoin Risks, Modelling Emotion, and Opinion Formation
- Google's Philosopher — interesting take on privacy. Now that the mining and manipulation of personal information has spread to almost all aspects of life, for instance, one of the most common such questions is, "Who owns your data?" According to Floridi, it's a misguided query. Your personal information, he argues, should be considered as much a part of you as, say, your left arm. "Anything done to your information," he has written, "is done to you, not to your belongings." Identity theft and invasions of privacy thus become more akin to kidnapping than stealing or trespassing. Informational privacy is "a fundamental and inalienable right," he argues, one that can't be overridden by concerns about national security, say, or public safety. "Any society (even a utopian one) in which no informational privacy is possible," he has written, "is one in which no personal identity can be maintained."
- S-1 for a Bitcoin Trust (SEC) — always interesting to read through the risks list to see what's there and what's not.
- Computationally Modelling Human Emotion (ACM) — our work seeks to create true synergies between computational and psychological approaches to understanding emotion. We are not satisfied simply to show our models "fit" human data but rather seek to show they are generative in the sense of producing new insights or novel predictions that can inform understanding. From this perspective, computational models are simply theories, albeit more concrete ones that afford a level of hypothesis generation and experimentation difficult to achieve through traditional theories.
- Opinion Formation Models on a Gradient (PLoSONE) — Many opinion formation models embedded in two-dimensional space have only one stable solution, namely complete consensus, in particular when they implement deterministic rules. In reality, however, deterministic social behavior and perfect agreement are rare – at least one small village of indomitable Gauls always holds out against the Romans. […] In this article we tackle the open question: can opinion dynamics, with or without a stochastic element, fundamentally alter percolation properties such as the clusters' fractal dimensions or the cluster size distribution? We show that in many cases we retrieve the scaling laws of independent percolation. Moreover, we also give one example where a slight change of the dynamic rules leads to a radically different scaling behavior.

Statistical Causality, Clustering Bitcoin, Hardware Security, and A Language for Scripts
- Distinguishing Cause and Effect using Observational Data — research paper evaluating effectiveness of the "additive noise" test, a nifty statistical trick to identify causal relationships from observational data. (via Slashdot)
- Clustering Bitcoin Accounts Using Heuristics (O'Reilly Radar) — In theory, a user can go by many different pseudonyms. If that user is careful and keeps the activity of those different pseudonyms separate, completely distinct from one another, then they can really maintain a level of, maybe not anonymity, but again, cryptographically it's called pseudo-anonymity. […] It turns out in reality, though, the way most users and services are using bitcoin, was really not following any of the guidelines that you would need to follow in order to achieve this notion of pseudo-anonymity. So, basically, what we were able to do is develop certain heuristics for clustering together different public keys, or different pseudonyms.
- A Primer on Hardware Security: Models, Methods, and Metrics (PDF) — Camouflaging: This is a layout-level technique to hamper image-processing-based extraction of gate-level netlist. In one embodiment of camouflaging, the layouts of standard cells are designed to look alike, resulting in incorrect extraction of the netlist. The layout of nand cell and the layout of nor cell look different and hence their functionality can be extracted. However, the layout of a camouflaged nand cell and the layout of camouflaged nor cell can be made to look identical and hence an attacker cannot unambiguously extract their functionality.

New film with scenes around Keswick hits the big screen
Last updated at 15:56, Friday, 07 December 2012
Popular Lake District tourist spots will hit the big screen today in a dark new comedy film.
Sightseers, which opens in cinemas today, follows a couple on a road trip across the north of England.
The Lakes becomes the backdrop for a series of dark encounters.
The Cumberland Pencil Museum in Keswick, Castlerigg Stone Circle and Honister Pass all feature.
The movie has been directed by Ben Wheatley and was screened to widespread acclaim at the Cannes Film Festival.
Co-writer and star Steve Oram said: "There are very few films that celebrate these tourist locations and we hoped they'd be quite evocative.
"Some of the places were insanely dramatic and beautiful.
"Why go abroad when you've got the whole of the UK at your fingertips?"
Ian Stephens, managing director of Cumbria Tourism, said: "Films of this quality only serve to enhance Cumbria's reputation."

Woke up in the morning to a breath taking view of the moutains and lake. Breakfast was lovely, service was lovely tge bed was amazingly comfortable and the shower nice powerful and hot! Lots of local places to eat and drink just a walk away.
The bedroom itself could have done with a bit more of a thorough clean. There was hair and some sort of product on the dressing table and stool. I woke up in the morning with a few itchy bites. Not sure where they came from but I certainly didn't have them before. Other than this I highly recommend idan house and north wales!

No en suite toilet as there were two shared bathrooms. Would have been more convenient to have an en suite toilet.
breakfast was good
Cob webs on ceiling light shades Filthy Wardrobe top Bed very noisy and uncomfortable - double bed Chipped Dishes Front Door did not close securely
Location in the high street, friendly staff, use of sitting room. Good breakfast also
Eating outside in the evening was surprisingly limited due to being out of season
Very friendly and helpful staff. Good location: a couple of restaurants and shops around plus bus stop from Llanberis is 1 min walk. Good value for money.
Room was a bit cold and wifi may be better.
The location was central and convenient for local attractions. Despite the owner being on holiday, the covering staff where welcoming and helpful.
On arrival, the downstairs hall and lounge was run down ,dark and unoccupied. It also had a very musty smell. The twin room we stayed in was very basic and the decoration looked tired, not to mention dirty. The bedding was clean, however, the underneath revealed stained and unclean mattresses. Also, the carpet was heavily stained. In their advert, they advertised a " hearty welsh breakfast" but it turned out to be a very basic, unappetising English breakfast. Very disappointed and could have done better with the £60 it cost me for the night.
The location of this B+B was perfect, the room we had was great as it had its own toilet and shower, breakfast was great, the value for money was great.
There was nothing we didn't like about this B+B
location and ease of access
the town rather shuts down after 9pm... dont arrive late if you want to eat
Very central location, stayed in one of the family rooms which had plenty of space, accommodation was very clean and a very good breakfast was served, found the wifi to be very fast even on the top floor. Overall great value for money
Very nice landlady, tasty breakfast, beautiful rooms with comfy beds, excellent location. All this for a good price.
Nothing :)
Central position in llanberis - 10 min walk from race check in point/ snowdon railway. Friendly owner. Clean facilities. Great breakfast. Value for money. Free wifi - very important as mobile signal very poor !
Woul have preferred on suite. Would have liked a bath.
Nice and quiet Adequate breakfast but no choices Handy for main street - pity about the parking
Unfinished shower cubicle No toiletries Bed not firm enough - sagged a bit No information in room WiFi did not work No private parking Advertised as en-suite bathroom but it had a very tiny shower cubicle. Unable to contact staff in the evening to ask time of breakfast or any other information. No answer to bell - tried on 2 occasions.
Value for money was good Comfortable beds Location was good close to the mountains and lakes

Source: Jeremy Lin offer sheet in NY
The New York Knicks have agreed to a sign-and-trade deal with the Portland Trail Blazers that will bring point guard Raymond Felton and center Kurt Thomas to New York in exchange for center Dan Gadzuric and forward Jared Jeffries, league sources confirmed Saturday night.
NBA Free Agency
NBA free agency is under way, and ESPN.com has you covered with all the latest deals, trades and potential moves.
Free agents | Trade Targets | RC
• Insider: Free-agent PER rankings
• More: TrueHoop | Trade Machine
The deal, for three years and $10 million according to USA Today, raises the possibility the Knicks will not match the offer sheet Jeremy Lin signed with the Houston Rockets earlier this week. They could pass after signing Jason Kidd and acquiring Felton.
A source close to the process told ESPN.com's Marc Stein the Knicks officially received the offer sheet Saturday night, meaning they have until 11:59 p.m. ET Tuesday to match it or let Lin go to the Rockets.
While the Knicks haven't announced what they're going to do about Lin, there is growing sentiment that they won't match the Rockets' offer sheet.
Jeffries is one who shares the sentiment that Lin won't be back with the Knicks.
"I never thought they would let him go," he told ESPN New York via text message on Sunday.
Earlier, a source close to the Lin talks said Houston had been unsuccessful in several attempts to deliver the offer sheet to Knicks general manager Glen Grunwald. League rules say the offer sheet must be physically delivered.
A source close to Lin told ESPNNewYork.com that the Knicks trade for Felton caught Lin off guard.
"He was very surprised," the source said. "He felt the whole time that the Knicks would just match the offer."
The Knicks also confirmed Saturday they have decided not to match the Toronto Raptors' three-year offer sheet to Landry Fields. That deal approaches $20 million.
"I want to thank ALL the Knick fans out there for their support over the past two years!" Landry wrote on Twitter. "Much love and respect, you will be missed."
The Rockets' offer sheet for Lin is worth a little more than $25 million -- $5 million in the first year, $5.225 million in the second and $14.8 million in the third.
Initial reports had the Rockets offering Lin a four-year deal for around $28 million. That deal included salaries of more than $9 million in each of the last two years, which would be a big hit on the Knicks' salary cap.
Still, the organization seemed intent on matching.
"They will match any offer on Lin up to $1 billion," a source told ESPN.com's Stein last week.
Knicks coach Mike Woodson said Wednesday that Lin would not only be back but would enter next season as the Knicks' starting point guard.
It's not clear, however, if the new deal has changed that thinking since the third year of the current deal carries an even bigger cap hit.
Knicks Blog
Looking for more Knicks news? ESPNNewYork.com has you covered. Blog »
If the Knicks re-sign Lin, they'll have $75 million tied up in four players -- Lin, Amare Stoudemire, Carmelo Anthony and Tyson Chandler -- in 2014-15.
Lin, a restricted free agent, made $788,000 last season. He averaged 14.6 points, 6.2 assists and 3.1 rebounds in 35 games with 25 starts before his season was cut short because of surgery to repair torn cartilage in his knee.
But in the 35 games he was healthy, Lin went from an end-of-the-bench afterthought to an international phenomenon. The undrafted guard out of Harvard, who was cut twice in the preseason (once by the Rockets) and played in the D-League, set the league on fire in February, leading the Knicks to seven consecutive wins. He scored at least 20 points in nine of 10 games during that stretch.
Felton, meanwhile, will return to New York where he played 54 games during the 2010-11 season before being traded to the Denver Nuggets as part of the Carmelo Anthony blockbuster. Felton played well in half a season in New York, averaging 17.1 points before the Knicks sent him to Denver.
He struggled this season with the Trail Blazers, scoring 11.4 points per game on 40.7 percent shooting and briefly losing his starting job.
Felton's agent, Tony Dutt, told ESPN The Magazine's Chris Broussard that returning to New York has been Felton's first choice all along.

Just received my V911 and love it. Flys great and so stable. Quick question about dual rates on the stock transmitter. Does the top left button turn it on and off? How do I know what the setting is? There does not seem to be an indicator on the display.
Jun 17, 2012, 09:25 PM | |
The question on dual rates has been coming up on several occasions. James, you might wanna include this in the first post.
To determine high or low rates, simply move the stick for aileron and elevator. If it shows all 4 bars, you are at high rate. When the TX powers up, it is always at low rate. |

Well after all the cleaning, laundry and preparations for a fathers day dinner with my wife and i's parents I had enough time to fly 4 batteries worth outside. The wind of the past few days had died down to light and variable (have a home weather station in backyard. I can tell you this much: V911 flies way better than original mSR. Way better! it's a tad larger so it is easier to see and i had fun chasing the dog around the backyard. The cats didn't seem to mind.
I do have trouble flying circuits to the left compared to the right though. This could be lack of flying time on my part though. I'm really going to enjoy this little heli and can't wait for the TH9x to show up along with 2 spare BNFs. |

Since the can was on the floor you fought against massive turbulence..
Perhaps the challenge should be reworked to Landing on a tuna can that is on the edge of a table or landing on a tuna can that is on a can of coffee on the floor or table to reduce turbulence and then it becomes more about pinpoint accuracy rather than waiting |

Wow well done pancari, truely a difficult task, i will keep trying and hopefully someday will land it... Is your 911 stock? I have made no mods to mine yet and flybar strikes are annoying, what mods do u guys recommend for precision flying?.. When trimmed it flys pretty good but does sway a little bit instead of perfectly still in hover.

Try bending the flybar upwards. Apply a little heat using a hair dryer to make the bend permanent. It helps. Perform mechanical trim (permanent, persistent) so that you need not trim it every time you power up the TX. |

SANTA ROSA, a small town in Ecuador's banana-producing province of El Oro, will not forget November 8th. After a night of heavy rain, the river broke its banks. In minutes over 3,000 people were homeless. El Niño—this year's freak, weather-changing warming of the Pacific—had arrived.
Extensive flooding in all the coastal provinces in the second week of November carried away houses, roads and bridges, left banana and cocoa plantations under water and shrimp farms awash. The Niño of 1982-83 cost Ecuador $165m in damage to its housing, infrastructure, farms, fisheries and industry, according to the civil-defence organisation. Estimates this time round range from that body's $130m to figures as high as $300m from outsiders such as the World Bank that are providing technical assistance.
In 1982-83, El Niño caught Ecuador unawares. This year saw warnings aplenty of a Niño at least as strong. So why, ask some, not least the victims, was the government unprepared? It should have got busy from mid-year, says a member of an outside technical mission. Belatedly, it did declare a state of emergency, to avoid bureaucratic rules delaying reponse to the expected disasters; and, if again belatedly, it appointed a respected technician to co-ordinate preparations.
But preparing for the unpredictable is not easy. The areas worst hit in 1982-83 are not those worst hit so far this time, protests the public-works ministry, which has been accused of a slow response to the El Oro flooding. "The damage could be less this time," says Mauricio Cuesta, a researcher working on El Niño for a Quito consultancy, Multiplica. "At least there has been some preparation. But there is also a high potential for damage in areas where things have changed significantly since 1982-83."
Then, Ecuador had only 35,000 hectares of shrimp farms, for example; now it has 180,000 hectares. Shrimp farmers have torn down mangroves to build breeding pools, removing a natural barrier against rising rivers, which can now destroy the containing walls around their pools.
Money is short. Since a new government took office in February, its economic team has laboured to rein back to 2.7% of GDP an inherited 1997 fiscal deficit that was heading for 7%. It was quick to say that multilateral gifts and loans would be used to prevent the costs of El Niño undermining this effort. But even if funds already approved by lenders such as the Inter-American Development Bank and the Corporacion Andina de Fomento can meet some of the bill, they will not turn up at once.
Meanwhile, says the interior minister, Cesar Verduga, echoing President Fabian Alarcon's call for national unity in the face of El Niño, "We have to manage with what we have." Local councils have launched campaigns to dissuade people from blocking ravines, and such drainage systems as exist, with rubbish. But for those hit by El Niño's first onslaught the goverment's words mean each man for himself. "If we had waited for official help to arrive, this would be a disaster," says one banana-plantation owner, clearing up in El Oro.
The government's foes, naturally, are criticising its realism about El Niño, in defiance of Mr Alarcon's televised warning to candidates in the coming elections for a new constituent assembly not to use El Niño for political ends. Some accuse the authorities of disorganisation, claiming that scroungers have been using the shelters set up for those made homeless by floods.
As for the elections, a former president, Leon Febres Cordero, has called for them to be postponed. Freddy Ehlers, a candidate for next year's presidential race, wants the parties to hand over half the money provided by the state for assembly campaigning to the people of Santa Rosa. Demagogic or not, these views have met a response. Opinion polls rank concern about El Niño far above interest in the new assembly.
