Success in business comes as a result of planning. You have to have a detailed, written plan that shows you what the ultimate goal is, the reason for the goal, and each milestone that must be passed in order to reach your goal.
A business plan is a written definition of, and an operational plan for achieving your goal. You need a complete business tool in order to define your basic product, income objectives and specific operating procedures. YOU HAVE TO HAVE A BUSINESS PLAN to attract investors, obtaining financing and hold onto the confidence of your creditors, particularly in times of cash flow shortages - in this instance, the amount of money you have on hand compared with the expenses that must be met ...
Aside from an overall directional policy for the production, sales efforts and profit goals of your product - your basic travel guide to business success - the most important purpose your business plan will serve, will be the basis or foundation of any financial proposals you submit. Many entrepreneurs are under the mistaken impression that a business plan is the same as a financial proposal, or that a financial proposal constitutes a business plan. This is just a misunderstanding of the uses of these two separate and different success aids.
The business plan is a long range "map" to guide your business to the goal you've set for it. This plan details the what, why, when, where and how of your business - the success planning og your company.
Your financial proposal is a request for money based upon your business plan - your business history and objectives.
Understand the differences. They are closely related, but they are not interchangeable.
Writing and putting together a "winning" business plan takes study, research and time, so don't try to do it all in just one or two days.
The easiest way is to start with a loose leaf notebook, plenty of paper, pencils, and erasers. Once you get your mind "in gear" and begin thinking about your business plan, hundreds of thoughts and ideas will begin racing through your mind.
Later, when you're actually working on your business plan, you can take out this "idea" notepad, and evaluate your ideas, rework them, refine them, and integrate them into the overall "big picture" of your business plan.
The best business plans for even the smallest businesses run 25 to 30 pages or more, so you'll need to "title" each page and arrange the different aspects of your business plan into "chapters". The format should pretty much run as follows:
Title Page, Statement of Purpose, Table of Contents, Business Description, Market Analysis, Competition, Business Location, Management, Current Financial Records, Explanation for Plans of Growth, Projected Profit and Loss/Operating Figures, Explanation of Financing for Growth, Documentation, Summary of Business and Outlook for the Future Listing of Business and Personal References
This is a logical organization of the information every business plan should cover. I'll explain each of these chapter titles in greater detail, but first, let me elaborate upon the reasons for proper organisation of your business plan.
Having a set of questions to answer, about your business, forces you to take an objective and critical look at your ideas. Putting it all down on paper allows you to change, erase and refine everything to function in the manner of a smoothly oiled machine. You'll be able to spot weaknesses and strengthen them before they develop into major problems. Overall, you'll be developing an operating manual for your business - a valuable tool which will keep your business on track, and guide you in the profitable management of your business.
Because it's your idea, and your business, it's very important that YOU do the planning. This is YOUR business plan, so YOU develop it, and put it all down on paper just the way YOU want to read it. Seek out the advice of other people; talk with, listen to, and observe, other people running similar businesses; enlist the advice of your accountant and attorney - but at the bottom line, don't ever forget that it has to be YOUR BUSINESS PLAN!
Remember too, that statistics show the greatest cause of business failure to be poor management, and lack of planning - without a plan by which to operate, no one can manage, and withïut a direction in which to aim its efforts, no business can attain any real success.
On the very first page, which is the title page, put down the name of your business - ABC ACTION - with your business address underneath. Now, skip a couple of lines, and write in all capital letters: PROPRIETOR - followed by your name if you're the proprietor. On your finished report, you would want to center this information on the page, with the words "Proprietor" offset to the left about five spaces.
Example: &&& ABC ACTION &&&1 The Avenue Somewhere &&& Proprietor: A. Smith
That's all you'll have on that page, except the page number 1.
Following your title page is the page for your statement of purpose. This should be a simple statement of your primary business function, such as: we are a service business engaged in the business of selling business success manuals and other information by mail.
The title of the page should be in all capital letters across the top of the page, centerd on your final draft - drop a few lines and write the statement of purpose. This should be direct, clear and short - never more than 2 sentences in length.
Then you should drop a few lines, and from the left hand margin of the paper, write out a sub-heading in all capital letters, such as: EXPLANATION OF PURPOSE.
From, and within this sub-heading, you can briefly explain your statement of purpose, such as: Our surveys have found most entrepreneurs to be "sadly" lacking in basic information that will enable them to achieve success. This market is estimated at more than 4 million persons, with at least half of these people actively "searching" for sources that provide the kind of information they want, and need.
With our business, advertising and publishing experience, it is our goal to capture at least half of this market of information seekers with our publication, MONEY MAKING MAGIC! Our market research indicates we can achieve this goal, and realise a profit of $50,000 per year within the next 5 years.
The above example is generally the way you should write your explanation of purpose, and in subtle definition, why you need such an explanation. Point to remember, Keep it short. Very few business purposes explanations are justifiably more than half a page long.
Next comes your table of contents page. Don't really worry about this one until you've got the entire plan completed and ready for final typing. It's a good idea though, to list the subjects (chapter titles) as I have, then check off each one as you complete that part of your plan.
By having a list of the points you want to cover, you'll be able to skip around and work on each phase nf your business plan as the idea or the interest in organising that particular phase, stimulates you. In other words, you won't have to make your thinking or your planning conform to the chronological order of the "chapter" of your business plan - another reason for the loose leaf notebook.
In describing your business, it's best to begin where your statement of purpose leaves off. Describe your product, the production process, who has responsibility for what, and most importantly, what makes your product or service unique - what gives it an edge in qour market. You can briefly summarize your business beginnings, present position and potential for future success, as well.
Next, describe the buyers you're trying to reach - why they need and want or will buy your product - and the results of any tests of surveys you may have conducted. Once you've defined your market, go on to explain how you intend to reach that market - how you'll alert these prospects to your product or service and induce them to buy. You might want to break this chapter down into sections such as publicity and promotions, advertising plans, direct sales force, and dealer/distributor programs. Each section would then be an outline of your plans and policies.
Moving into the chapter on competition, identify who your competitors are - their weaknesses and strong points - explain how you intend to capitalise on those weaknesses and match or better the strong points. Talk to as many of your "indirect" competitors as possible - those operating in different cities and towns.
One of the easiest ways of gathering a lot of useful information about your competitors is by developing a series of survey questions and sending these questionnaires out to each of them. Later on, you might want to compile the answers to these questions into some form of directory or report on this type of business.
It's also advisable to contact the trade associations and publications serving your proposed type of business. For information on trade associations and specific trade publications, visit your public library, and after explaining what you want,0ask for the librarian's help.
The chapter on management should be an elaboration on the people operating the business. Those people that actually run the business - their job titles, responsibilities, and background details. It's important that you paint a strong picture of your top management people because the people coming to work for you or investing in your business, will be "investing in these people" as much as your product ideas. Individual tenacity, mature judgement under fire, and innovative problem-solving have "won over" more people than all the AAA credit ratings and astronomical sales figures put together.
People becoming involved with any new venture want to know that the person in charge - the guy running the business knows what he's doing, will not lose his cool when problems arise, and has what it takes to make money for all of them. After showing the "muscle" of this person, go on to outline the other key positions within your business; who the persons are you've selected to handle those jobs and the sources as well as availability of any other help you might need.
If you've been in business on any kind of scale, the next chapter is a picture of your financial status - a review of your operating costs and income from the business to date. Generally, this is a listing of your profit and loss statements for the past six months, plus copies of your business income tax records for each of the previous three years the business has been going.
The chapter on the explanation of your plans for the future growth of your business is just that - an explanation of how you plan to keep your business growing - a detailed guide of what you're going to do, and how you're going to increase your profits. These plans should show your goals for the coming year, two years, and three years. By breaking your objectives down into annual milestones, your plans will be accepted as more realistic and, be more understandable as a part of your ultimate success,
Following this explanation, you'll need to itemise the projected cost and income figures of your three year plan. It'll take a lot of research, and undoubtedly a good deal of erasing, but it's very important that you list these figures based upon thorough investigation. You may have to adjust some of your plans downward, but once you've got these two chapters on paper, your whole business plan will fall into line and begin to make sense. You'll have a precise "map" of where you're headed, how much it's going to cost, when you can expect to start making money, and how much.
Now that you know where you're going, how much it's going to cost and how long it's going to be before you recoup your investment, you're ready to talk about how and where you're going to get the money to finance your journey. Unless you're independently wealthy, you'll want to use this chapter to list the possibilities and alternatives.
Make a list of friends you can approach, and perhaps induce to put up some money as silent partners. Make a list of those people you might be able to sell to as stockholders in your company. Make a list of relatyves and friends that might help you with an outright loan to furnish money for the development of your business.
Also look for venture capital organisations, visit high street banks, insurance companies, anyone who offers loans and development capital.
With a listing of all the options available to your needs, all that's meft is the arranging of these options in the order you would want to use them when the time comes to ask for money. When you're researching these money sources, you'll save time by noting the "contact" to deal with when you want money, and whenever possible, by developing a working relationship with these people.
In your documentation section, you should have a credit report on yourself. Use the yellow pages or ask your bank for the address of one of the credit reporting agencies. When you get your credit report, look it over and take whatever steps are necessary to eliminate any negative comments. Once these have been taken care of, ask for revised copy of your report and include a copy of that in your business plan.
In conclusion, write out a brief, overall summary of your business- when the business was started, the purpose of the business, what makes your business different, how you're going to gain a profitable share of the market, and your expected success during the coming 5 years.
The last page of your business plan is a "courtesy" page, listing the names, addresses and phone numbers of personal and business references - persons who've known you closely for the past five years or longer - and companies or firms you've had business or credit dealings with during the past five years.
And, that's it - your complete business plan. Before you send it out for formal typing, read it over once a day for a week or so. Take care of any changes or corrections, and it may be a good idea to have it looked at by your accountant.
Hire a professional typist to type the entire plan on ordinary white bond paper. Make sure you proof read it against the original. Check for and get corrected any mistakes or typing errors - read it through for clarity and the perfection you want of it.
Now you're ready to have it printed and published for whatever you have planned for it - distribution amongst your partners or stockholders, as the business plan for putting together a winning financial proposal, or as a business operating manual.
Next, go to a stationery store, and buy a binding cover for each copy of your business plan.
Now you can relax, take a break and feel good about yourself. You have a complete and detailed business plan with which to operate successfully your own business. A plan you can use as a basis for any financing proposal you may want to submit ... and a precise road-map for the attainment of real success.
Congratulations, and best wishes for the complete fulfilment of all your dreams of success! ation.

Capsizing ends trans-Atlantic rowing attempt
Spooner said it was unfortunate having to abandon the expedition in the home stretch, some 850 miles (1,370 kilometers) from their finish line in Miami. But he said that the journey, which was also an educational and scientific mission, succeeded in many ways. Thousands of students in schools across North America participated in the expedition's free curriculum and the endurance rowers collected data researching marine conditions in the Atlantic that scientists can use free of charge, he said.
"Despite losing the boat, despite having to rescue the guys, there's still great success behind the expedition," Spooner said.

New Study: Ibuprofen May Double Miscarriage Risk
Taking anti-inflammatory drugs like ibuprofen and naproxen in early pregnancy appears to more than double the risk of miscarriage, MSNBC.com reports.
In a new study, researchers combed through medical records of almost 50,000 pregnant women in Canada and found that women who took non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (or NSAIDS) before twenty weeks "were 2.4 times as likely to have a miscarriage as those who did not. The rate of miscarriage in women who took NSAIDs was about 35 percent, compared with the normal rate of miscarriage, which is about 15 percent," MSNBC said. From that article:
"I would strongly suggest that women take no non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs during the first trimester," said study co-author Anick Berard, a professor of epidemiology at the University of Montreal and director of the research unit on medications and pregnancy at Centre Hospitalier Universitaire Ste. Justine. "If a woman is taking an NSAID for a chronic condition she really has to talk to her health care provider to see if it's feasible to stop at least during the first trimester."
But Dr. Hyagriv Simhan, associate professor and chief of the division of maternal-fetal medicine at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center, warned against overreacting: "I wouldn't want this to be a reason for women who have taken a Motrin before they realized they were pregnant to freak out," he said.
Simhan also pointed out a limitation of the study, that some of the women may have taken NSAIDs to cope with cramping from a miscarriage already underway. But the researchers say it's unlikely that influenced their findings.
The study did not look at over-the-counter NSAIDs, since Canadians usually get these drugs by prescription. But the researchers warned that taking "any type or dosage" in pregnancy may be risky.

Day One (TV news series)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Day One is a television news magazine produced by ABC News from 1993 to 1995, hosted by Forrest Sawyer and Diane Sawyer.
One of its stories, titled "Smoke Screen", was an important report on the cigarette industry's manipulation of nicotine during the manufacturing process. The piece won a George Polk award, but also led to a lawsuit from Philip Morris that ended with a settlement and apology from ABC.[1][2]
The series also won a Peabody Award for its 1993 investigation titled "Scarred for Life" on female genital cutting.

Brian Gibbs ft. Maino - This Love
Artist: Brian Gibbs
Featuring: Maino
Producer: Brian Gibbs
Album: Untitled (TBD)
Avg Rating: 2.8 ( 17 votes )
Though the hip-hop industry focuses its scouting on major metropolises, R&B tends to be more accepting of those from smaller cities – how many of you had even heard of Petersburg or Tappahannock, Va. before Trey Songz and Chris Brown hit the scene? Today, another unsigned talent from the DMV area makes his Booth debut. On his latest single, the Aberdeen, Md. singer apologizes to his girl for running around with other women, hoping they can "...take another shot at This Love." Along for the apology is Maino, who brings a little big-name buzz to the record, delivering a guest verse on the back end. Whether or not Gibbs manages to get his relationship back on track, this single's hit potential is sure to attract industry attention – it may even spark a bidding war!

Century-old tower marks Mayflower's first landing
The Cape Cod Pilgrim Memorial Association, founded in 1892, commissioned the Provincetown monument in an effort to set the historical record straight. Modeled by its architect after the Torre del Mangia in Siena, Italy, the tower was constructed for the modest sum of $92,000, with $40,000 paid by the federal government and the rest raised through private donations.
The effort certainly got attention at the time. President Theodore Roosevelt laid the cornerstone for the monument in 1907 and President William Taft was on hand for the dedication ceremony in 1910.
Yet a century later, many tourists who visit and make the arduous climb to the top of the monument still arrive with no clue that the Pilgrims landed anywhere other than Plymouth Rock. Tourists Tom and Kathy Wolff, of Okemos, Mich., recounted a visit 30 years ago to Plymouth, where they were told nothing about Provincetown.
Plymouth gets all the attention, "because (the Pilgrims) actually settled there," Kathy Wolff said.
"And the rock, I guess it's been there longer," her husband added.
James Bakker, executive director of the monument, concedes that Plymouth probably has done a better job of selling its story, but the tower is more impressive.
"The myth of the rock, pales in comparison to the wonderful monument we have here," he said.

Around 750 kg of ammonium nitrate, illegally stored in 15 bags, at a quarry site at Bouluwada near Anakapalle in the district was seized and one person was arrested by the police late on Wednesday. The accused was sent in remand on Thursday.
On a tip-off, Anakapalle Rural Inspector G. Srinivas, SI P.V. Vijay Kumar and their team conducted a raid on a room, located near a stone quarry at VV Ramana Colony around 11 p.m. on Wednesday. They found the ammonium nitrate, stored in 15 bags of 50 kg each, which were procured by N. Venkateswara Rao (46) without licence.
It's learnt that the accused was selling the explosive material to owners of various stone quarries in Anakapalle mandal. The accused, a worker in a quarry, was said to be an expert in blasting at the quarries. He had developed some links with some persons and started procuring and selling the ammonium nitrate clandestinely.
Mr. Vijay Kumar said ammonium nitrate was used in fertilizer. When mixed with diesel, it acts as an explosive and was being used for blasting purposes by quarry owners in Anakapalle region.

very nice photo's! Love them all and how nice of you to let us see the REAL homes. Buying magazines sometimes makes me a bit disappointed about the houses they show: they always look like highly expensive houses or apartments. It looks i never see 'Reihenhaus'; family houses; in the magazines. I know its not just me because i hear the complaint more often. But anyways, i love that you showed IT to us here!
I love the group but i stumble upon the rules about nudity and even no art work that contains nudity. I understand you don't want to provoke with porn/nudity but artwork containing nudity can never be a problem in my opinion. I have two children of the age of 2 and 4 and the are used to the naked boobs hanging above our sofa. Its a photograph of me while i was pregnant. You actually don't see my face only my boobs and big belly. I love the photo – it looks nothing like to provoke or anything like that!! It looks very natural and 'back to nature'. Oh and before anyone asks: i kept my under panties on ;)

After me and my wife got engaged I decided that I would move in with her, I recieved a email from Mike and Sue Parker, I got in touch with them and explain my situation and Mike got the ball rolling. Thanks to Mike and Sue it was a success in selling my home.
Mike Parker is an outstanding realtor. He helped my husband & I find our perfect home. He was always there for us & helped us understand everything that we needed to know with us being "first time homebuyers". He explained every document fully before we signed anything . He is very honest and takes pride in his work. He truly makes the house hunting process so much easier and less stressful. We strongly recommend Mike Parker, he will go out of his way to help and satisfy your needs.
Very honest and flexible, worked around my time. I never felt aa I was been left out and if I had a question they had an answer. Describe all choices I had and then the ones they felt was best.
I would not hesitate to recommend Mike Parker to anyone looking to sell his or her house. He was courteous, knowledgable, and worked tirelessly throughout the process of my short sale. He made what was an extremely stressful period of my life so much less stressful, knowing that my situation was in his hands. He responded quickly anytime I had a question or concern, negotiated with the bank on my behalf many times, submitted stacks and stacks of paperwork to various agencies, and never complained or seemed weary of the process. He was a godsend.
I definitely recommend him he had help me with a purchase of two properties. He was always very helpful easy going purchase U would definitely use he's service again
Mike Parker is a GEM! Very on top of things, and kept me up to date and informed throught the entire process. Mike worked around our schedule and was very accommodating. I don't think I ever waited more than 30 minutes for a returned call from him. He was very honest about any questions we had. Extremely knowledgeable about his territory and property values. He gave us countless tips and advice that are extremely valuable to a first time home buyer. I was never in doubt that Mike had our best interest and would highly recommend he and his wife Sue Parker. Thanks Mike!
My experience with the Parker's was outstanding. Mr. Parker took me through all of the different scenarios to ensure that I was aware of everything that I needed to look at to make my property more attractive in a market that is already full of beautiful houses and locations. From day one I was assured that we would be successful in sellling my home and getting the best price for my home. I am very pleased with the overall outcome and would without hesitation recommend Mike and Sue Parker. Thanks for a job well done.
Made my house shopping very pleasant. Mike is great, very easy going and knowledgable. I highly recommend you call him if you're thinking about purchasing a home. Tim
My wife and I were looking to buy our first house, and Mike Parker was our real estate agent. He was extremely professional and knowledgeable of Memphis' housing market. Mike actively looked for houses, rather than just sending emails, for my wife and me. We finally found the home we were looking for, and closed on the house in about three weeks. We followed his advice, looked at many properties, and were very happy with the entire process. I hear real estate horror stories from others, but buying a house with Mike was nothing but smooth sailing. I definitely recommend any buyers, sellers, or skeptics to give Mike Parker a call and see what he can do for you.

No further dramatic interventions by the Russian authorities overnight with the result that the rouble has opened five percent weaker against the dollar in Moscow.
No further dramatic interventions by the Russian authorities overnight with the result that the rouble has opened five percent weaker against the dollar in Moscow.
A small piece of good news on Brazil's inflation rate last week probably gave the central bank its best pretext yet to finally stop raising interest rates after more than one year of non-stop increases. But economists still think it's too early to proclaim "mission accomplished".
Euro zone inflation has dipped again and some forecasters are hedging their bets on the policy response by saying the European Central Bank could either cut rates this week or sometime in the next two months.
Turkey's central bank bit the bullet last night, despite Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan calling for it to hold firm just hours beforehand, and what a bite it was.
With all signs showing the Canadian economic miracle is fading, the Bank of Canada is understandably starting to sound more dovish. The Canadian dollar has got a whiff of that, down about 10 percent from where it was this time last year.
When the Bank of England decides to start hiking interest rates, it may find that its standard 25 and 50 basis point interest rate moves of old are too blunt a tool for Britain's delicately-poised economic recovery.
A big moment for Turkey. After desperate attempts to shore up the lira by burning through its reserves, the central bank must decide whether to raise interest rates instead.
One of the more bizarre aspects of the euro zone crisis is that the currency in question -- the euro -- has actually not had that bad a year, certainly against the dollar. Even with Greece on the brink and Italy sending ripples of fear across financial markets, the single currency is still up 1.4 percent against the greenback for the year to date.
The European Central Bank has to cut official interest rates by at least another percentage point to stop the real cost of borrowing for households and firms jumping in the summer as inflation plummets.
Economists are now certain the European Central Bank will cut interest rates again at its next meeting, the only question is how much.
ECB chief Jean-Claude Trichet's blunt hint that a rate cut is possible, although not certain, at the next rate meeting on November 6 cemented expectations that the central bank is readying more ammunition to fire at the financial crisis.
Although Trichet would not be drawn on the size of the possible cut, using the past as a guide suggests it could be a repeat of Oct. 8′s half a percentage point reduction.
In June, Trichet flagged a quarter-point rate hike by saying that it was possible, although not certain that the ECB "could decide to move our rates by a small amount" — a qualification that was missing from Monday's announcement.
"The absence of this language in today's speech, suggests that the ECB President is leaving the door open to a bigger reduction," Fortis Bank economist Nick Kounis said, tipping a half a percentage point cut to 3.25 percent.
Although the majority of its 25 rate changes have been by only 25 basis points, the pattern shows the ECB is more likely to be bold when cutting rates than when raising them.
Six of the nine rate cuts the ECB has undertaken since 1999 have been of 50 basis points, compared to only two of the 16 rate hikes.
The last two rate cuts, on Oct. 8 and before then in June 2003, were both 50 basis point moves — so the ECB could well go for three in a row.
Some have speculated that the ECB may even cut rates by 75 basis points, although it has never made such a large leap in its 10-year history, either up or down.

Fishing for Somen: How I Hosted a Japanese Backyard Noodle Party in My Studio Apartment
To the Japanese, nagashi somen—a game of running chilled noodles down a split bamboo pipe with cold water, and catching them with your chopsticks—is as evocative of summer as running through sprinklers and swimming in cool rivers. But what if it's winter in New York, and you have no bamboo or running stream? I couldn't let such trifles stop me. More

The House of Representatives will return Sunday to deal with "fiscal cliff" developments, news organizations reported this afternoon.
CNN, Politico and The Wall Street Journal broke the news. The Journal said House Republican leaders outlined the schedule in a conference call with rank-and-file lawmakers.
The first House vote is set for 3:30 p.m. PST Sunday, according to a GOP leadership aide. The subject of the vote was not detailed, The Journal said.
The development was characterized as a move toward frenzied final negotiations to avoid the tax increases and spending cuts set to take hold next week.
The web site Politico reported that House Speaker John Boehner told House Republicans that he's "not interested" in passing a "fiscal cliff" deal with "mostly Democrat votes," his most direct comments about how he'll manage the remaining negotiations over tax increases and spending cuts.
Boehner's comment is significant, Politico said, because it means he is going to push for an agreement that most of the 241 House Republican could support.
Just a week ago, rank-and-file Republicans rejected a Boehner-authored proposal that would have extended tax breaks on income of less than $1 million -- a number far higher than what they would get under plans offered by President Barack Obama and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.).
On Thursday's conference call, which almost all House Republicans dialed in to, House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-Va.) told lawmakers to "plan on being in town through the following week to conduct the business at hand," a source told Politico, Sunday is Dec. 30, one day before the nation reaches the "cliff."
House Majority Whip Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) wished lawmakers "'Merry Christmas,' and we'll look forward to spending New Year's [Day] together," Politico reported.

25 October 2013 19:04 [Source: ICIS news]
MEDELLIN, Colombia (ICIS)--Petroleos Mexicanos (Pemex), the state-run oil and petrochemical major, on Friday posted a Q3 net loss of Mexican pesos (Ps) 39.2bn ($3.0bn, €2.2bn), a sharp decline from net profits of Ps24.5bn in the prior-year period.
Pemex attributed the loss to a 6.4% decrease in the volume of crude exports and a 2.4% drop in gasoline prices in the US Gulf of Mexico.
The company also noted a foreign exchange loss during the quarter of Ps3.6bn, compared with an exchange gain of Ps30.6bn in the prior-year quarter.
Total sales in the July-September period reached Ps409.3bn, almost flat compared with Ps408.9bn a year earlier. Domestic sales increased by 8.3%, while export decreased by 9.5%, the company said.
Third quarter earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) totalled Ps261.3bn, down by 7.7% from Ps283.1bn recorded a year earlier.
Total crude production averaged 2.51m bbl/day, a 1.6% decrease compared with the prior-year period, while crude processing rose by 29,000 bbl/day to an average 1.20m bbl/day, mainly as a result of improved capacity at the revamped Minatitlan refinery.
Output of petroleum products was up by 3.6% year on year to 1.35m bbl/day as a result of a rise in production of automotive gasolines, diesel and jet fuel, Pemex said.
Petrochemical production increased by 20.8% year on year to 1.30m tonnes, mainly due to a 1.6% increase in production in the methane derivatives chain on the back of a rise in demand over the period.
Pemex also recorded a 159,000 tonne increase in output in the aromatics and derivatives chain due to the stabilisation of the continuous catalytic regeneration (CCR) platforming plant at the Cangrejera petrochemical complex.
The increase was partially offset by a 20.6% drop in output in the ethane derivatives chain, and to lower production of low density polyethylene (LDPE) and linear low density polyethylene (LLDPE) following maintenance work.
In August, Mexican president Enrique Pena Nieto submitted government proposals to overhaul the country's energy sector that would allow private companies to participate in oil, gas and natural gas liquids (NGLs) production in Mexico.
If reform is approved, petrochemical production would increase from current levels of 8m tonnes/year to 10m tonnes/year, Pemex said on Thursday on the company's Twitter page.
Mexico's congress is currently reviewing the proposed bills.

Yesterday something interesting became apparent. In the user experience class last week, the participants were given a task to go and do some research into a design challenge.
The 2 design challenges were:-
- Design a solution for transport professionals to improve their use or behavior on roads
- Design a solution that can help the Kenyan working class keep time
- Design a solution that will engage Kenyan youth on taboo issues of love and relationships
Shikoh Gitau took this as an excellent learning opportunity for the teams and asked some critical questions about their users that they had not thought about and the importance of first focusing on understanding our users to a decent depth before we propose solutions.
In many ways, today's experience is indicative of the Kenyan techies. This is you and me, We have been in the industry for a while and instead of this serving us, it has become our very Achilles heel. We know about technology and naturally, we have 10 solutions for each word a client utters.
We need to learn the humility and patience to truly listen to our users. Not with tech solutions running in our heads as they speak, but truly listen without a tech perspective. It is hard, but it is what we need to do to understand our user.
Tech after all, is about human interaction. The next time you receive a new project, take time to make your user the centre. Develop solid personas on which you will anchor your solutions. Just a thought...

VIRGINIA BEACH -- Today was the final farewell for Officer Brian Jones, the 34-year-old Norfolk police officer, husband and father of three who was killed in the line of duty on May 30.
About 1,500 enforcement officers, friends, family and others gathered at Rock Church in Virginia Beach for the emotional funeral service. Among the speakers was Officer Daniel Chaney, a former partner and his best friend, and his brother Daniel A. Jones.
'One thing I will always remember about my brother will be his laugh. His laugh, accompanied by his goofy smile, could brighten anyone's day,' Jones said.
Then, as tears welled up and his voice cracked, he said he had a final promise to make to Brian.
'I'll be there for Rebekah and the children, whether it's financially or being a shoulder to lean on. Rest easy, my brother, I am on guard.'
After a brief playing of Amazing Grace,Officer Daniel Chaney spoke and talked about Jones's priorities.
'His first priority was the Lord. Often times, no, everytime on the night shift, Brian would get to the car first. When I came out, he had his Bible out and would be praying.'
'His second priority were his family and friends. He'd often tell me 'I can't do that today because I'm taking my baby mamma out.' That of course, was his wife Rebekah. Mariah was his princess. He'd be hurting if he had to discipline her. If Brian was Batman, Bryson was Robin, always by his side. He was overjoyed with the progress Kyler was making.'
Rev. Morales said Brian lived a life well lived.
'He loved his wife, children, he loved go and the church. One of the last conversations we had, he said 'Pastor, I just want to live for God and always be right with him.' When that bullet came that Friday night, and he was shot and killed in the line of duty, (Brian)He went on to be in eternity. He was ready to meet his maker.'
Brian Moran, Virginia's Secretary of Public Safety and Homeland Security, said, 'It is not how Brian died that makes him a hero, but how he lived.'
Norfolk Mayor Paul Fraim spoke about Jones's dedication to the city and acknowledged how hard his death has hit friends and colleagues.
'He died a hero. He will not be forgotten. To Rebekah and the entire Jones family, you will not be forgotten. We will be here for you.'
Rev. Jonathan Roberts, a family friend, said 'Not only was he a tough man, a lot of men are tough, but they don't know how to love. Brian knew how to love and he showed that to his family first and foremost. Even the day of this death, before he went to work, he was outside putting a swing together for his children.'
'Thank God for Brian Jones,' he shouted with passion.
The service ended with the playing of 'I Will Always Love you,' a final promise from his wife Rebekah, as mourners left the church.
Following the service, the processional made its way to Forest Lawn Cemetery on Granby Street in Norfolk, where he was laid to rest.
Also attending the service was Dorothy McAuliffe, the governor's wife, and Virginia Attorney General Mark Herring.
Flags are being flown at half-staff over the State Capitol building in Richmond and in cities across Hampton Roads in respect and memory of Norfolk Police Officer Brian Wayne Jones.

So we found out last week that our second boy is another sweet baby boy. My second pregnancy has been drastically different from my first so everyone was convinced I was having a girl. I have to admit, I was a little disappointed. I do love my DS to death but I would also love to have a little girl someday and I'm not sure that more kids are in the cards for us.
Who else is having a second boy? Were you expecting it? Are you feeling any sadness at no pink like me? I'd love to hear from you!

Product description
In productive classrooms, teachers don't just teach children skills: they build emotionally and relationally healthy learning communities. Teachers create intellectual environments that produce not only technically competent students, but also caring, secure, actively literate human beings.`Choice Words` shows how teachers accomplish this using their most powerful teaching tool: language. Throughout, Peter Johnston provides examples of apparently ordinary words, phrases, and uses of language that are pivotal in the orchestration of the classroom. Grounded in a study by accomplished literacy teachers, the book demonstrates how the things we say (and don't say) have surprising consequences for what children learn and for who they become as literate people. Through language, children learn how to become strategic thinkers, not merely learning the literacy strategies. In addition, Johnston examines the complex learning that teachers produce in classrooms that is hard to name and thus is not recognized by tests, by policy-makers, by the general public, and often by teachers themselves, yet is vitally important.This book will be enlightening for any teacher who wishes to be more conscious of the many ways their language helps children acquire literacy skills and view the world, their peers, and themselves in new ways.

Warmest Beanie Ever!
This beanie is so warm, there is a fleece lining that covers your ears when the beanie is on your head. This makes it a little hard to hear when bundled up. Snow really sticks to the knit, I suggest not using this for skiing actives.
