Aaron Wallis is a leader within the UK sales recruitment industry and has researched and commissioned some of the largest surveys of UK and Irish sales professionals over the last few years. This information is free to download to our employer and candidate clients and provides a powerful and fascinating insight into the minds of sales professionals.
The Latest 2014 Sales Survey Report Can be Downloaded Here
Our most recent survey was launched in late July 2013 and was live for 4 weeks. The 2014 Sales Survey results provides a powerful insight into the minds of sales professionals as well as exploring changing trends. This is the largest produced survey of its type and provides intense research on sales topics as well as scrutinising even the tiniest factors which include the personal lives and pastimes of sales professionals.
This study, updated for 2014, was commissioned by Aaron Wallis Sales Recruitment, a leading sales recruitment agency based in the UK, in association with the Institute of Sales and Marketing Management (ISMM). In addition, the survey was promoted by our survey partners, Lincoln West, People Alchemy, Simply Sales Jobs and Gavin Ingham was promoted across a wide range of media, including major sales job boards, social media platforms, sales forums, and sales-related magazines.
62 questions were asked in the survey, only two of which were mandatory, which contained a wide variety of aspects relating to sales, such as remuneration, sales targets and the top inspirations to achieve a healthy work-life balance. The vital importance and purpose of this stimulating survey were to promote professional sales, raise awareness and gain a firmer understanding on how to accomplish, motivate and succeed in sales teams.
The idea of this 2014 study was to witness the changes and adaptations from the work industry as the years have progressed from similar surveys in 2009 and 2007.
This study commenced in late September 2013 and was live for an intensifying four weeks. 726 completely anonymous sales professionals came forward to participate with their honest opinions and the results from the survey effectively produced a captivating and impressive outcome, which is now ready to be explored and analysed.
From this survey, 554 participants gave complete responses whereas 172 people gave answers that were incomplete. For ease of reading all percentages have been rounded up or down as needed.
The survey was similar to another that was commissioned by our Managing Director, Rob Scott, back in 2007 so it has been a great exercise to compare attitudes and perspectives today against the buoyant economic times of 2007 and the very tough ones of 2009.

2009 UK Sales Industry Statistics
In 2009 we commissioned a comprehensive survey of UK sales professionals. It makes interesting reading, download your copy of the white paper below:
The State of Sales in the UK - A Comprehensive Overview of the British Sales Industry
2009 Irish Sales Industry Statistics
In conjunction with Niall Kelly and our friends at salesjobs.ie we also undertook a comparison with the Irish Sales Industry. SalesJobs.ie conducted the survey with a similar number across Eire and the downloads of this survey are available here:
The State of Sales in Ireland - A Comprehensive Overview of the Irish Sales Industry
2009 Irish and UK Sales Industry Comparisons
In late 2009 we combined the two surveys together to create a fascinating comparison of the two surveys. The resulting report can be downloaded free of charge here.
The State of Sales in Ireland and the UK - A Comprehensive Comparison of the UK and Irish Sales Industries
An Overview of the UK Sales Industry
The UK sales industry is huge and it is estimated that about 1 in 6 employees according to the latest Crown Statistics are employed either directly or indirectly in sales. And sales skills are becoming harder and harder to source. What a great time to be in sales!
According to the 2003 Learning Skills Council's survey (LSC National 2003 (IFF/IER) Survey 2003: Main Report) 'sales vacancies' represent 17% of all outstanding vacancies and 14% of 'Hard to Fill' vacancies. Proving that sales vacancies are becoming harder to fill year-by-year and probably goes to explain why the basic salaries in sales have increased sharply in the last 5 years.
A strong sales team is imperative to succeed in today's highly competitive commercial world. In a recent sales survey of close to 1,000 sales professionals (www.survey2007.co.uk) some 62% felt that sales was the most influential division of their business and their influence on business direction had increased exponentially over the last 5 years.

Let's rate the "followability" of government entities on Twitter
By Craig Hlavaty | June 10, 2014 | Updated: June 10, 2014 3:54pm
1. For gun and knife enthusiasts, the Transportation Security Administration (@tsa) is a fun follow. For those who have issues with invasive searches and allegedly horrendous staffing choices, maybe not so much. (TSA photo)
Photo By NASA2. The official NASA Twitter account (@nasa) has plenty of nerdy pictures and awe-inspiring photos. They are a must-follow for sure, so you can see some of things that you are paying for, or things you wish we were paying more for. (NASA)
Photo By Aeolos - Fotolia3. This is the U.S. Army's Electronic Warfare Division's official profile. We probably won't know about the stuff that they are doing right now for years to come. They have cyberspace commanders! Follow @ArmyEW to see what that even is.
Photo By JEREMY L. WOOD/AP4. The Department of Defense account (@DeptofDefense) was really killing it in the past week with some great photos of the D-Day commemorations. (Department of Defense)
Photo By Pool/Getty images5. This is White House photog Pete Souza's official Twitter profile. The warning on @petesouza's feed that "Comments & messages received through official White House pages are subject to the PRA and may be archived," is unsettling though. Fun facts: Souza follows the rock band U2, the Netflix series House of Cards, and sports/pop culture blog Grantland boss Bill Simmons.

6. Hey, the Secret Service (@secretservice) is hiring, according to its feed. If you can wear a cool earpiece, shades and a black suit, they can probably use you. You probably need a college degree or something though. (AP Photo/Charles Dharapak)
Photo By LM Otero/ASSOCIATED PRESS7. The U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency (@wwwicegov) does great work, though their feed is missing more pictures of all the counterfeit goods and drugs they help seize.
(AP Photo/LM Otero)
8. President Obama's White House Twitter page doesn't participate in nearly enough in hashtags like #DisturbingBurritoFillings,#ThingsIForgotToTellMyTherapist or middling @midnight submissions. He sticks with boring stuff about policy and education. Come on, @whitehouse, you got to pander to the kids.
Photo By WALT DISNEY PICTURES | MCT9. The Library Of Congress has not made one mention of the movie National Treasure or it's worthy 2007 sequel yet on its Twitter feed. Lame, @librarycongress...
Photo By HO10. The bio of the National Nuclear Security Administration page (@NNSANews) says that it "oversees the nation's nuclear stockpile," but their feed is very short on cool pictures of nuclear bombs or where we can visit them.
Last week the Central Intelligence Agency joined Twitter and became most almost everyone's newest follow.
Though the agency isn't very active on Twitter yet, its first tweet will be hard to top.
We had to double-check that it was really the CIA and not the Chicken Inspectors of America or something.
Of course the first tweet ever from the CIA pokes fun at the fact that they are one of the most clandestine government agencies in the world.
"We can neither confirm nor deny that this is our first tweet," is pretty funny, but they haven't done much in the following four days to wow us.
Here's hoping the CIA Twitter profile spices things up and starts releasing sensitive information on a random follower just for the heck of it.
"Dan Smith from Des Moines, your last Google search was for a divorce lawyer. Here's an Instagram picture of you today at lunch with your intern. Our agents used the "Earlybird" filter to capture your unfaithfulness."
Their Throwback Thursday photos should be fun too. Maybe we can finally all see who was on the Grassy Knoll in Dallas (allegedly).
The TSA easily has the best Twitter presence, their invasive -- ouch -- search technique notwithstanding. Where else can you see pictures of the things that your fellow travelers accidentally or otherwise have attempted to bring on board a plane?

Here's a Saturday surprise from TMZ, by way of a hat tip from the GeekHeeb.
Hot priests are so last year! The hottest calendar for 2008 is the Men on a Mission calendar, full of hot, shirtless Mormon men. What would Joseph Smith, Jr. say?! The "devout dozen" jumped off their bikes long enough to pose for the controversial day keeper, each of the LDS lotharios having just returned from missions around the world. Go west, young men!
The calendar and other products can be found at MormonsExposed.com. I prefer the "Family Values" t-shirt.

फतेहपुर is one of the districts of Uttar Pradesh. Located on the banks of the sacred rivers Ganga and Jamuna, Fatehpur was mentioned in the puranic literature. The ghats of Bhitora and Asni were described as sacred in the puranas. Bhitora, the site of the sage Bhrigu, was an important source of learning. Fatehpur district is a part of Allahabad Division. This district is situated between two important cities Allahabad, which is also known as "Prayag", and Kanpur of state Uttar Pradesh . This is well connected with those cities by train route and by road also . The distance from Allahabad is 117 Km and from Kanpur is 76 Km by railway . The north boundary of the district is limited by river Ganga and southern is ended with river Yamuna .In the Vedik era the region of this district was known as "Antardesh", which means the fertile area between two big rivers . Later, it was known as "Madhyadesh" which means central region . The northern region of the district is influenced with "Avadhi" culture while southern part shows effect of the "Bundelkhand" . The region of Fatehpur was included in the district Vatsa, which was one among sixteen districts described in the Baudh literature.
The known history of Fatehpur is as old as the Vedik era . General Karningham has written about "Bhitaura" & "Asani" places of this district, while discussing about the residuals of the Vedik era . There are proofs that Chinese traveller Hwensaung visited the Asani place of this district.
In village Renh, which is 25 km in south-west of Fatehpur town, some articles of archeological interest have been found which are of time 800 B.C. . Many articles like coins, bricks, idols etc. of Maurya period, Kusad period & Gupta period have been found through out the district . Many temples of Gupta period still exist in village Tenduli, Korari, Sarhan Bujurg etc., which are very important from the archeological point of view . Golden coins of period of Chandragupta-II have been recovered from village Bijauli . The bricks used in fort of Asani are also of Gupta Period .
There is an old decaying fort in Ayah said to have been built by the martial Arakhs (also called 'Arkawanshi kshatriyas'), who ruled this region (including Khaga) before 11th century. The Arakh rulers were the worshippers of Sun God ('Arka' अर्कदेव) and Lord Shiva, hence many ancient Sun and Shiva idols have been found in and around the region. The British chronicles make a mention of the fort.
The Khajuha town, situated on Mughal road is very old town . It's description has been found in old Hindu scripture "Brahm Puran", which is 5000 years old . In 1561 A.D., Moghal emperor Humayun passed through this town while envading Jaunpur state . On January 5, 1659 A.D., Moghal emperor Aurangjeb had a fierce battle with his brother prince Shahshuja, and killed him near this place . To celeberate the victory, he constructed a large beautiful garden "Badshahi Bagh" and a big lodge having 130 rooms .
During Moghul regime, the control of Fatehpur shifted time to time to the hands of Jaunpur, Delhi and Kannauj . In 1801 A.D., this region came under control of East India Company and in 1814 this was given the status of a sub-division (Paragana), while the headquarter was at Bhitaura, which is now a block office . In 1826 A.D., the Fatehpur was re-designated as a District headquarter.

What I Learned from an Irresistible Billionaire Entrepreneur
Liz published this at 7:40 am
Listening and Learning
When a good heart thoughtfully shares experience, listening comes easily. I know because last week I had the privilege of hearing Clay Mathile tell the story of his life as an entrepreneur. It was a quiet, late morning conversation that included my friends and colleagues, Barry Moltz and Anita Campbell. We were in a small meeting room at Aileron — the $130 million campus that Clay built to pass his success on to others.
"Entrepreneurs can solve almost all the problems we have in this country, in this world," said Mathile in an interview with CNN Money.
The Iams Vision and Focus
What Clay talked about while we were with him was the vision and the focus that built the Iams Corporation. His vision was clearly stated in a story.
Clay was born in the poorest times of American history, in one of Ohio's poorest cities. From the time he was 6 he wanted to own his own company. He wanted that company to be the best at what it did and to provide jobs. In 1970, when Clay was considering a job for Iams, the little known pet food brand was having difficulties. While thinking about the opportunity, a thirty-something Clay visited a relative at nearby farm shared some time and left a bag of the dog food for the man's farm dog. (Anyone who's seen a farm dog knows that's a dog luxury!) A few weeks later when the Iams decision was pending, Clay returned to the farm to have another conversation. The dog that ran out of the house was so remarkably changed that Clay didn't recognize him! This dog had a beautiful, bright eyes and high energy!
Clay's thought was "This is what people want for the pets they love!" His decision was made. The change in that dog became the vision that turned around a company. Mathile joined Iams in 1970, helped turn it around and took complete ownership of it in 1982. In August of 1999, Clay sold Iams to Proctor and Gamble for $2.3 billion.
The rest of the Iams story includes years of learning.
"It took me 5 years to realize that I was selling a dog food that dogs wouldn't eat in a package that consumers wouldn't buy," Clay said in humility of someone who loves learning. "Then it took me another 5 years to fix the problem."
But throughout our extended conversation, the themes of learning, vision, and focus were inside every answer to every question.
- We stayed focused on our mission to be the most recognized provider of dog and cat nutrition.
- We realized that dogs and cats were our customers and that our employees needed to be people who loved dogs and cats as much as the people who buy our products.
- We trained every person and had dieticians in every region.
- Pictures of dogs and cats were everywhere throughout the company — on desks, on walls.
It was clear that everyone shared the same vision … of delivering great pet nutrition to make a difference.
Now, Clay has put his money to investing in other people — entrepreneurs who are building their own businesses. The beautiful campus, Aileron, and fabulous team who run it have the vision and the focus to be the ultimate individualized professional management resource for small business owners. I'm paraphrasing how Clay Mathile said it, but his words so reminded me of my dad that I can't help but think I got the meaning …
There is no higher philanthropy than being an entrepreneur, because entrepreneurs create jobs for other people.
The wisdom of one man changed me in one short meeting. I'm grateful for the contribution I was able to make to the Course for Presidents at Aileron.org in June.
I look forward to going back soon.
Clay Mathile is irresistible.

Liz, wish I had known you'd be in the area – would have loved to treat you to a cuppa and a chat. (I'm just south of Tipp City). At any rate, glad you had the opportunity to hear Mr. Mathile speak – amazing story, amazing man. Thanks for sharing your experience!

great story … makes me wonder what I could be if I'd really listen with this type of vision and clarity of focus.

Thank you Liz, a very good lesson in there that consumers and customers are often two entirely different animals. Both need to be satisfied before a long term relationship can be built.

Liz, it took time to figure out the answer, but Clay stuck to the problem until it was solved and figured a way to market a product others would want, too. Thanks for sharing more about Clay.

Hi Liz,
Powerful story here.
One common thread between Clay and all billionaires: developing and holding a clear vision.
It's also interesting how the seemingly tiniest details never escape a successful person's attention. Simply seeing the improvement in the dog formed the basis for a massive empire. It was the seed of his vision, and it spurred he and the company on to greatness.
Thanks for sharing the story with us Liz. Have a powerful day!
July 15th, 2011 at 4:35 am
ME Liz Strauss said
I only wish I could have passed the look in his eyes as they focused far off recalling the story of seeing that dog. I'm sure that the vision is still clear in his mind today as it was on the day that it occurred. Perhaps I should have called the post "How a Dog Inspired a Billion Dollar Business." heh heh

Well, just a couple things to cover:
1) My super ghetto stainless dashboard complete with somewhat cockeyed idiot lights
2) Super carcinogenic, toxic, corrosive carb cleaner and the wonders it works. Now, I was well familiar with the capabilities of aerosol carb cleaner like Clean-r-carb and others. This stuff is several orders of magnitude nastier and more effective. When I first got the bike it had sat for 20 or so years with the petcocks on. The float bowls were basically a solid block of waxy, crusty gasoline varnish. I went through at least 3-4 cans of spray carb cleaner getting them "pretty clean," but there was still plenty of persistent crud that wouldn't come off the inside of the bowl or the area above the float without scraping. That really left me wondering what was still lurking in all those tiny passageways. The bike ran and ran pretty well. Well enough that I didn't hesitate to rack up 13,000 miles on it last year. Anyway, there's a rough spot in the rev range and a a tiny bit stumbly idle which just couldn't get tuned out, so I decided to go back in and do the last 20% of the carb cleaning. This time they got the crazy death dip, new floats, new o-rings all around. The first time around about a year ago to the week I replaced the diaphragms, main jets, idle jets, needles and needle jets, so by now they're completely rebuilt. Here are some pics
(note that berryman's dip WILL take the white paint off your bing name plates)
Squeaky clean and new looking. Thanks Solo for loaning me the Berryman's. Now I have my own personal EPA superfund site.

My aim has not been to compose music for plants (This Week, 28 May). It stems from a work in theoretical physics, which predicts the existence of generalised quantum waves travelling through scale, thereby connecting different quantised scales of a physical system; and allows as an example the calculation of sets of frequencies associated with protein synthesis.
One of the predicted scale ranges, being close to Avogadro's number, provides a simple and ethical way to check the correctness of the corresponding equation: namely, that the transposition of those frequencies from the predicted range (thus to the audible range approximately), should be able, by scale resonance, to stimulate - or inhibit, using phase opposition - the corresponding protein synthesis.
Experiments on plants have been devised for this reason, with success, and are currently being repeated by a Swiss industrialist who is not an 'admirer' but himself an independent researcher, and contributes ...

Glee's Whitney Houston Tribute! First Duet Partners Revealed
It was just this morning we learned that Glee is planning a complete Whitney Houston tribute for Season 3, Episode 17, and details are already beginning to emerge about what we can expect!
We know the episode will feature eight different Whitney songs, and Lea Michele (Rachel) just spilled which duo will be singing one of them. On March 9, Lea tweeted, "First up hallway scene w/ Santana & Rachel, then dance rehearsal & pre-record for what's going be the most epic Santana & Rachel duet ever!!"
So Rachel and Santana (Naya Rivera) will duet for one of the eight Whitney songs. With their powerful vocals, we already know it's going to be amazing. And we're sure that Mercedes (Amber Riley) will get a solo or two, as well. She did so well with a Whitney song the last time!
Which famous Whitney Houston songs do you hope Glee will cover during their tribute episode? Hit the comments and let us know!

New joint a good fit?
If you think it's time for total hip or knee replacement surgery, be sure to weigh the pros and cons
"We will do everything in the hospital to control the pain and keep you as comfortable as possible. However, the less (pain medicine) you take, the better," said Bried, who also recommends heat and cold therapy. "It's best to get patients up and walking by the day after surgery so we want them to be medicated enough to do that, but not so medicated that they can't get out of bed."
• There is no one best artificial joint. A successful replacement depends on selecting the right implant for the patient.
Today, joint components are made of various things, including metal alloys, including titanium and cobalt chrome, plus ceramic and ultrahigh molecular polyethylene plastic. Tantalum, a new highly porous metal, with a stiffness that compares with bone, is also being used.
However, some materials have been problematic. All-metal — metal-on-metal — hips have been failing at surprisingly high rates in recent years, sometimes within one or two years of the original procedure. The ordinary wear and tear of movement can cause microscopic amounts of the alloy to enter the bloodstream, damaging the tissue around the hip, making the implant loosen and become painful, forcing replacement or revision of the implant.
It's recommended that patients and surgeons select an implant that has a reasonable track record of use (minimum of five to 10 years), has been used before by the surgeon and is appropriate for the patient's age, activity level and shape of the joint.
• Don't sweat the technique. Orthopedic surgeons use a variety of approaches in joint replacement procedures, often because they were trained differently.
Doctors caution against making assumptions about the benefits of any of the approaches. The skill of the surgeon is more important than placement of the scalpel. The differences between procedures is more theoretical than practical and if the doctor does it skillfully, patients are in about the same place three months after surgery, no matter what procedure is used.
"Find a surgeon who makes sense to you and try to understand why they do things the way they do them," said Dr. Steven Allsing, orthopedic surgeon at Sharp Coronado and Grossmont hospitals. "Don't go to the doctor and insist that they do a procedure the way that you want."
• Not everyone's a candidate for joint replacement. "Someone who is in debilitating pain and has reasonable expectations is a good candidate," Fabi said. "But someone who thinks they are going to be running and jogging, that's not going to happen. They are not an ideal candidate."
A person in poor health or with an infection and who is completely inactive is not a good candidate. Advanced age, however, doesn't rule out joint replacement.
"Numerical age isn't really important; it's the person's health. If an 85-year-old patient is in good enough physical condition and their heart and lungs are capable of withstanding the surgery, I'm not opposed to doing a hip replacement on that patient," Allsing said.
• Be rehab ready. Look for an institution that gets patients moving soon after surgery. For many people, that reduces the risk of medical complications and hastens recovery.

Lake Tehama also looks like a problem. Normally, I'd suggest doing:
What about (qw/Amador Calaveras/, 'El Dorado', qw/.../)
But qw doesn't really pack much punch for your case. Use just a
regular list of strings?

Halloween is an experience in Rochester I never expected. It is a huge festivity, and so much fun! This year me and my best friend Ashley were thing one and thing two from Dr. Seuss. I was thing one because I like odd numbers better than even numbers; obviously good reasoning. We spend hours shopping and planning and making our costumes. Key word: making. In Rochester, it isn't typical to just go buy a premade costume and go as that. You go all out and make certain parts and piece things together to make the whole thing a final item. Here is what we did. We wore solid red tights with tan boots. We found poufy, red, horizontal tutus to put over our red, ruffley bloomers. We then made thing one/two circles by hand to sew on to our bright red tank tops. We went to Claire's and found blue sequenced head bands. We added a red bow clip to the head band. This was our main costume... Main costume? Yes. In Rochester, you better have more than one plan as Halloween plans come up on the fly.
Our second costume was a zombie costume we wore at my neighbor's aunt's house party. We wore normal clothes but did our makeup super awesome with just normal street makeup and nail polish. The fumes from the nail polish burned our eyes quite a bit though, so be careful with that.
Our third costume that we had in mind as a backup was for us to wear our animal print, footie pajamas. Not only were the costumes amazing, but there are TONS of activities relating to Halloween. There was the Kahler Halloween House, the Peace Plaza event, photo booth, and so much more. It really blew me away how much the city came together for this one day.

text: The Crimsonland wiki last edited by BGoldenTLE on 06/16/15 03:42PM View full history OverviewCrimsonland is a simple top-down shooter in which, depending on the mode, the player attempts to survive as long as possible or through an entire level.GameplayCrimsonland starts the player in the middle of the screen, and creatures begin swarming the player soon after the level starts. The player must avoid being completely overrun and killed by running around the screen and shooting the enemies, which may drop power-ups and weapons that increase your effectiveness.The player aims with the mouse, pointing a reticle in the direction he wants to shoot. Movement is handled with WASD or arrow keys. The control scheme is similar to some PC adaptations of dual-joystick shooters. If the level chosen is a campaign level, the player must survive until the waves of enemies stop. If it is challenge mode, then the player must survive as long as possible. The further a player has reached in the campaign, the more powerful weapons will be available in challenge mode.There is an extra mode that forgoes the normal gameplay to instead use typing to kill enemies in a manner reminiscent of The Typing of the Dead. The player is stuck in the middle of the screen, unable to move. The incoming creatures have a label with a single word chosen from a random assortment words that must be typed in to kill that assailant. As the player progresses, longer and harder words are given and enemies attack faster and faster. If an enemy reaches the player and they are not shot off before they deplete the player's HP, the player loses.Game ModesQuestsQuest mode consists of 50 levels, split into five chapters, each level getting progressively harder. The player begins each level with only a pistol, but as more and more levels are completed more weapons and power-ups become available. There is also "Hardcore" mode that is unlocked after beating all of the levels in normal, this is the same thing as normal but more enemies come after you.RushRush throws an absurd amount of enemies at you (literally covering the map in moments) and gives you only a assault rifle to fend them off with. There are no perks or power-ups in this mode, the goal is to survive as long as you can with all of the odds against you.SurvivalThis is a meat of the game. You are placed in a never ending level that get progressively harder as you play. The longer you go, the stronger and more plentiful the enemies become.Type-o-shooterA game mode where you have to type out the monster's word instead of attacking them yourself.

Maryland officials allege in a $4 million federal lawsuit against the U.S. government that performance failures by air-traffic controllers were a "substantial cause" of a 2008 medevac helicopter crash that killed four people near Andrews Air Force Base.
In the lawsuit, the state and the helicopter's insurer allege that controllers employed by the Federal Aviation Administration failed to pay proper attention to the aircraft in heavy fog, disregarded requests for assistance from its pilot and provided outdated weather information. The suit says controllers were distracted by less-crucial matters and failed to coordinate the helicopter's path and altitude to ensure its safety, among other allegations.

Low socioeconomic status (SES) individuals have poorer health, exhibit fewer healthy behaviors, and are less likely to pursue preventive health care. These underserved populations are multi-ethnic, multi-cultural communities having little to no resources that provide tobacco education or control services. Throughout the U.S., children and adults in low SES populations suffer disproportionately from tobacco-related morbidity and mortality. Clearly, there is a need to network groups and organizations servicing low SES populations in a national effort to reduce tobacco use. Connecting such groups is one of the Alliance's goals.
Tobacco Taxes and their impact on populations of low socioeconomic status. This document summarizes studies on the issue, and provides recommendations for advocates to direct funding back into tobacco prevention and cessation programs that serve low SES individuals.

Prime Minister Hisham Qandil said that the government and the Higher Elections Commission will work together to prepare for the coming parliamentary elections so that Egyptians can cast their votes freely, easily and comfortably.
In statements on the sidelines of the inauguration of El-Maadi water station on Thursday 10/01/2013, Qandil said that talks have been launched with Qatar to invest $18 billion in Egypt.
"An Egyptian delegation visited Qatar and a Qatari delegation will come here for talks to start pumping the investments into Egypt," Qandil added.
The premier said that negotiations are under way with the International Monetary Fund (IMF) on a loan worth $4.8 billion.
"The loan is a certificate that Egypt's economy is recovering," Qandil added.
He asserted that there is a number of promising investment plans in the Suez Canal area which are estimated to be worth $100 billion.

The picture depicts the Annunciation by the Archangel Gabriel to the Virgin Mary that she will bear the son of God (Luke 1:26-38). The inscription shows his words: "AVE GRÃ. PLENA" or "Hail, full of grace...". She modestly draws back and responds, "ECCE ANCILLA DÑI." or "Behold the handmaiden of the Lord". Her words are painted upside down for God above to see. The Seven gifts of the Holy Spirit descend to her on seven rays of light from the upper window to the left, with the dove symbolising the Holy Spirit following the same path. "This is the moment God's plan for salvation is set in motion. Through Christ's human incarnation the old era of the Law is transformed into a new era of Grace".
The architecture moves from older, round Romanesque forms above, to (slightly) pointed Gothic arches below, with the higher levels largely in darkness, and the floor level well-lit. The gloom of the Old Covenant is about to be succeeded by the light of the New Covenant. The flat timber roof is in poor repair, with planks out of place. The use of Romanesque architecture to identify Jewish rather than Christian settings is a regular feature of the paintings of van Eyck and his followers, and other paintings show both styles in the same building in a symbolic way.
The decoration of the Temple is naturally all derived from the Old Testament, but the subjects shown are those believed in the Middle Ages to prefigure the coming of Christ the Messiah. In the floor tiles David's slaying of Goliath (centre front), foretells Christ's triumph over the devil. Behind this, Samson pulls down the Temple of the Philistines, prefiguring both the Crucifixion and the Last Judgement, according to medieval authorities. To the left, Delilah is cutting Samson's hair (Betrayal of Christ), and behind he slays the Philistines (Christ's triumph over sin). The death of Absalom and possibly that of Abimelech are identified by some art historians, although only tiny sections are visible. Erwin Panofsky, who first developed much of this analysis, proposed a scheme for the significance of the astrological symbols in the round border tiles, and other versions have been suggested.
The rear wall has a single stained glass window, where Jehovah stands, above triple plain-glazed windows below, which perhaps suggest the Christian trinity. On either side of the single window are dim wall-paintings of the finding of Moses by Pharaoh's daughter (left, pre-figuring the Annunciation itself), and Moses receiving the Ten Commandments (right, paralleling the New Covenant Christ would bring). Below them are roundels with Isaac and Jacob, for which various symbolic functions have been proposed. The lilies are a traditional attribute of Mary, standing for purity. The empty stool may be an "empty throne", a symbol for Christ going back to early Byzantine art.
It has been suggested that Mary has been given the features of Isabella of Portugal, wife of Philip the Good, Duke of Burgundy, who may well have commissioned the painting from van Eyck, his (part-time) court painter.. Mary wears a robe in her usual blue, which is trimmed in ermine, reserved for royalty, which would suit this theory, although the Middle Ages placed great emphasis on Mary's royal descent in any case. As is usual, especially in the North, Mary's features are less attractive than those of Gabriel; being a sexless angel there was considered to be no possibility of his beauty causing inappropriate thoughts in the onlooker. Neither figure has a halo; these were being dispensed with in Early Netherlandish art in the interests of realism - eventually the Italians would follow. Mary's posture is ambiguous; it is not clear if she is standing, kneeling or sitting.
Another of van Eyck's themes, and that of other Early Netherlandish painters, is indicated by the large cope over a dalmatic worn by Gabriel. This would, in a human, mark him as a celebrant or attendant at a High Mass. Mary is facing a table with a book about the right size to be a Gospel Book or Missal upon it, and has her hands raised in a gesture known as the expansis manibus. This is certainly to convey the alarm and uncertainty with which she usually greets the surprising apparition of Gabriel and his news, but is also a gesture used by a priest at certain points of a Mass. The painting has been connected with the Golden Mass ("Missa Aurea"), a liturgical drama, or dramatised Mass, popular in the Netherlands at the time, which included a staging of the Annunciation as the Gospel reading. More generally, this is part of a common theme in Early Netherlandish art, where Mary, as intermediary between the faithful and God, is compared to, or seen as, a priest celebrating Mass. Her personal sacrifice of her son is compared to the ritual sacrifice enacted by the priest in the Mass. In a surviving extreme example in the Louvre she is shown clearly wearing vestments and celebrating mass at an altar; more often, as here, the comparison is made more subtly.
A cleaning in 1998, and examination by modern technical methods such as infrared reflectograms, has revealed much about van Eyck's technique here, which is consistent with other works of his such as the Arnolfini Portrait. His underdrawing has been revealed, and so have many changes made in the course of painting the work.
Van Eyck's superb oil painting technique is evident throughout. Gold leaf is only used for the seven rays coming in from the left; paint is used for all the gold on Gabriel, often worked wet-on-wet to achieve the textural effects of his brocaded clothes. In a shadowy area behind the stool van Eyck worked a glaze with his fingers. The play of light over the many different textures in the painting is brilliantly rendered, and the illusionistic detail, especially in Gabriel's rich costume, is exceptional.
Apart from several small changes in the position of hands and faces, the under-drawing shows that the small pilasters on the left wall were originally planned to be repeated on the rear wall, and to be much taller, reaching nearly to the roof, on both. The paint on the rear wall is thicker than on the left wall, so he may have painted the pilasters before changing his mind. In the underdrawing the ceiling planks are all in place, and there was also a light source to the right, for which the shadows are drawn.
The narrative scenes on the tiles replace a simpler decorative plan in the underdrawing, and the stool has become much larger. The vase of lilies was not only absent in the underdrawing, but was not reserved, that is to say that a space was not left for it in the paint for the Virgin's robe or the floor. This suggests it was only added late in the course of painting.
Examination of other major van Eyck works reveals similar developments from the underdrawing, and in the course of painting, in these works. It seems van Eyck, perhaps acting with clerical advisers, although he appears to have been a considerable reader himself, liked to add further complexity to his compositions in the course of work on them.
The range of dates given for the painting, was previously from 1428-29 (Panofsky and others) to 1436-37, but the discovery in 1959 of a date of 1437 on an altarpiece in the Gemäldegalerie Alte Meister, Dresden has considerably changed all van Eyck dating, and "makes it all but impossible to continue dating the Annunciation before 1432" (Hand). The painting appears stylistically to come between the Ghent Altarpiece and late works such as the Berlin Virgin in a church.
Two authorities have considered the painting to belong to Jan's brother Hubert van Eyck, who died in 1426. It is thought that the recent cleaning or technical investigation has tended to confirm the majority view that it is an autograph work by Jan.

La Bottine Souriante is a folk band from Quebec specialising in traditional Quebecois music, often with a modern twist.
Formed in 1976, they have toured extensively through North America and Europe. As well as the traditional accordion, fiddle, guitar, piano and double bass, the band added a four-piece horn section in 1990 which gives an element of jazz to the music. In 1998, they contributed a song to the Canadian Celtic music compilation by The Chieftains, Fire in the Kitchen.
The group's name means "the smiling boot", which refers to the appearance of a work boot with worn-out soles.
They have received three Canadian Juno awards and several Felix awards from the Quebec recording industry. They are known for their high energy live performances and in 2000 were voted Best Live Act at the BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards. BBC Radio 3 has also played their music in mainstream programmes.

Help and Healing for Texas Residents
Foundations Recovery Network (FRN) is committed to providing treatment for those who suffer from the disease of addiction. Our dual diagnosis approach to treatment has been proven as a key to successful recovery. Through our co-occurring clinical and psychological treatment coupled with our residential and outpatient treatment programs, clients suffering from substance abuse and mental health issues ranging from anxiety and depression to bi-polar and PTSD are finding the strength to end addiction and begin a new healthy life in recovery
Integrated Treatment for Co-Occurring Disorders
FRN specializes in the treatment of co-occurring disorders with our proven, comprehensive treatment model, which has been tested and proven through 11 federally-funded research studies. This model demonstrated twice the success rate for continuing sobriety one year post-treatment compared to the national average of traditional programs.
What is integrated treatment and why is it important for long-term recovery? Watch the video to understand why we focus on the whole person to treat co-occurring addiction and mental health disorders:
The Foundations Recovery Network Difference
FRN specializes in the treatment of co-occurring disorders with our proven, comprehensive treatment model, which has been tested and proven through 11 federally-funded research studies. This model demonstrated twice the success rate for continuing sobriety one year post-treatment compared to the national average of traditional programs.
We attribute our success to our approach, which includes:
- Motivational Approaches – Our clinical staff is trained to use motivational enhancement strategies to engage clients. This field-tested method of implementing client directed services maximizes client engagement and avoids use of outdated confrontational strategies.
- Integrated Treatment – All behavioral health and addictions needs can be addressed in one setting, with a team of experts including psychiatrists, social workers, nurses and licensed alcohol and drug counselors each lending their expertise.
- Trained Staff – Our entire team is taught to deliver evidence-based practices of care through classroom and applied studies.
- Client Recovery Workbook Series – A proprietary product developed by us based upon evidence-based practices and our own experiences in treatment, these workbooks provide clients with comprehensive integrated information about how to maximize their recovery experience.
- Client Directed Treatment – Clients are treated as partners in, rather than subjects of, the recovery process. As such, they are encouraged to determine the pace, goals and course of treatment.
There is a difference when it comes to treatment programs, and no program has been proven more compassionate, flexible or effective. With a highly experienced and caring staff, comprehensive treatment facilities and a long-term commitment to helping those with drug and alcohol addictions, FRN provides a full scope of services to meet the needs of persons with co-occurring conditions. Combining our research-based innovations with emerging evidence-based practices, we offer some of the lowest dropout rates in the industry.
For many, pursuing substance abuse treatment far from home provides a clean slate and fewer distractions. We are a national company with programs across several states. Our residential treatment facilities include La Paloma, The Canyon and Michael's House. We also offer outpatient treatment through Foundations Atlanta, Michael's House and La Paloma.
An Ongoing Problem in Texas
The Lone Star state marches to the beat of its own drummer, with Texans being a proud and strong people. Unfortunately, they are not immune to the problems of substance abuse.
Approximately 1,631,000 Texans ages 12 or older admit to alcohol or illicit drug dependence or abuse in the past year. But Texas' biggest drug problem is as a pass through more than a drug destination. Due to its geographical proximity to Mexico, drug smuggling and transportation throughout Texas is dominated by Mexican trafficking organizations. Although there is a significant drug abuse problem in Texas, more tons of illicit drugs pass through the state than are delivered for internal consumption.
If you or someone you love in Texas needs treatment, contact us today at (877) 345-3221.

The discovery of a remote galaxy with a magnetic field far stronger than expected may mean that astronomers will have to revise their ideas of how magnetic fields in the Universe first developed. In theory, very distant (and therefore young) galaxies should have weaker magnetic fields than galaxies which are around today. The new galaxy's magnetic field is similar to that of our own Milky Way.
The new measurements were possible only because the galaxy, which is not visible, lies in front of the quasar Parkes 1229-021 (Astrophysical Journal, 10 March). A team of astronomers from Britain and Canada was able to analyse the structure of the magnetic field of the galaxy by studying the radio emission from the quasar behind it.
Judith Perry of the University of Cambridge and Phillipp Kronberg and Edwin Zukowsky of the University of Toronto used the Very Large Array (VLA) of radio telscopes in ...

POPE-DUTCH Dec-2-2013 (460 words) xxxi
In clearest statement to date, pope prays for victims of sex abuse
By Francis X. Rocca
Catholic News Service
VATICAN CITY (CNS) -- In his clearest public reference as pope to the subject of clerical sex abuse, Pope Francis urged bishops to support abuse victims while also reaching out to priests who have "fallen short of their commitments."
The pope made his remarks Dec. 2 to bishops from the Netherlands making their first visits "ad limina apostolorum" ("to the threshold of the apostles") since they met with Blessed John Paul II in 2004.
Speaking in French, the pope brought up sex abuse near the end of his talk, in a section devoted to bishops' care of priests under their authority.
Pope Francis, shown here two months ago in Assisi, Italy, made his clearest public reference as pope today to the subject of clerical sex abuse. (CNS/Paul Haring)
"Like fathers, find the necessary time to welcome (your priests) and listen to them, every time they ask. And do not forget to go out to meet those who do not approach you; some of them unfortunately have fallen short of their commitments. In particular, I want to express my compassion and assure my prayers to all victims of sexual abuse and their families; I ask you to continue to support them along their painful path of healing, undertaken with courage," the pope said.
It was Pope Francis' most explicit reference to clerical sex abuse, in public or in a statement released by the Vatican, since his election in March.
According to a 2011 report by a Dutch government commission, as many as 20,000 children may have been abused in the country's Catholic institutions between 1945 and 1981.
In his remarks to the pope, Cardinal Willem Jacobus Eijk, president of the Dutch bishops' conference, said the conference had established an independent foundation to assist victims.
"We are determined to recognize the problems of the victims, to compensate them for damages and help them to heal as much as possible," the cardinal said.
Pope Francis also urged the bishops to promote church teaching on marriage and euthanasia through dialogue with the rest of society in the Netherlands, whose population is approximately 30 percent Catholic.
"In your society, strongly marked by secularization, I encourage you to be present in public debate, everywhere man is involved," he said.
Pope Francis said the church "is sent everywhere to awaken, reawaken, sustain hope! Hence the importance of encouraging your faithful to seize occasions for dialogue, and be present in the places where the future is decided, so they can contribute to debates on the great social questions, for example, of family, marriage, the end of life."
The Netherlands was the first country to legalize same-sex marriage, in 2001, and permits physician-assisted suicide.
Cardinal Eijk told the pope that Catholics in the Netherlands have been steadily diminishing in number, and predicted that a "third of the Catholic churches in our country will be closed by 2020 and two thirds by 2025."

Dr. Lan Wang of the Computer Science Department at the University of Memphis has received a National Science Foundation (NSF) grant to create new and innovative ways to build a more reliable and robust Internet. The project, known as Named Data Networking (NDN), could redesign the Internet to offer better support for security, mobility and new applications.
In addition to the U of M, this collaborative project involves nine other colleges and universities: UCLA (the lead institution), PARC (Palo Alto Research Center), Colorado State University, the University of Arizona, the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champagne, the University of California Irvine, the University of California San Diego, Washington University, and Yale University. The award, worth $7.9 million over three years, is part of the NSF's Future Internet Architecture (FIA) program.
The basic concept of NDN comes from the Content Centric Networking project led by Van Jacobson and Jim Thornton at PARC. The NDN network architecture differs from the current Internet in that it focuses on user data rather than where the data is hosted. By securing named data, NDN de-couples trust in data from trust in the host from which the user receives it. Together, this allows automatic caching to optimize bandwidth use and enables effective simultaneous utilization of multiple network interfaces. Wang's work will focus on realizing the scalable name-based routing and forwarding over multiple paths. This will allow a user to retrieve data such as a photo or web page from the closest location.
"I'm very excited and privileged to work on the NDN project with top computer scientists from PARC, UCLA, UIUC, and six other universities," said Wang, an associate professor and principal investigator for the project at the U of M. "If our prototype is successfully deployed on testbeds, we will have the opportunity to roll out our implementation on a larger scale on the real Internet. The impact of our work may reach every individual user in improving their Internet security, speed, mobility, and overall experience, as well as allowing them to build exciting new applications."
According to the NSF, four research and system design projects were funded under the Future Internet Architecture program. Each project will explore different dimensions of the network architecture design space and emphasize different visions of future Internet. The NSF anticipates the teams will explore new directions and a diverse range of research areas, but also work together to enhance and possibly integrate architectural thinking, concepts, and components, paving the way to a comprehensive and trustworthy network architecture.

LA Sport 4WD Megastores, the outdoor specialist retailer with 15 branches countrywide and in Namibia, has been appointed a strategic retail specialist by the Control Instruments Automotive (Pty) Ltd to promote certain umbrella brands.
This initiative forms part of Control Instruments Automotive new and exciting 'Weekend Warrior' programme designed for off-road enthusiasts who get involved in various 4x4 activities over weekends and during holiday periods.
"We see this as a strategic partnership to extend our market share nationally with the inclusion of these leading Control Instruments brands in the 4x4 market," said Lionel Lewis, MD and founder of LA Sport 4WD Megastores.
LA Sport, as a 22 year-old company, has evolved into a group of professional one-stop 4WD (4 Wheel Drive) centers, owner-managed, and with its own manufacturing facility.
Sean Staley, Control Instruments-Automotive divisional head – Ride Control, said LA Sport is a long-established and highly respected 4-wheel drive retail specialist that has built their business on both quality products and industry expertise.
"The ability to partner with these stores under the 'Weekend Warrior' concept not only ensured that our selected brands arrive at the correct retail points, but ensures that they are fully supported through LA Sport's national sales and support infrastructure," he said. "The 'Weekend Warrior' concept was born out of research that indicated the need for both new and experienced 4x4 enthusiasts to associate the CI group's products used on their vehicle."
"With this in mind, Control Instruments assessed its product offering and grouped HDP 4x4 shock absorbers, WARN winches, Vision X LED lights and Hi-Lift jacks under the 'Weekend Warrior' concept," said Mr Staley.
The 4x4 HDP (heavy-duty performance) shock absorber series is a locally designed and manufactured robust, big-bore shock specifically designed for extreme African on and off-road conditions and comes with a three-year unlimited kilometer warranty.
WARN winches are the world's most recognised brand in off-road products and manufactures a full range of off-road equipment and accessories for four-wheel-drive vehicles. As a US-based winch manufacturer, WARN has developed a new ZEON range of winches based, in part, on market feedback from South Africa.
The ZEON range incorporates an all-new design. The control pack is an integral part of the design, fits flawlessly and can be removed. The winch has new exterior styling and comes with a new satin-black powder-coated finish. The units are fully waterproof, use sealing technology developed for the military and are IP68 rated.
Vision X is a US-based LED lighting manufacturer, distributed exclusively by Control Instruments-Automotive. It covers a range of low-energy LED lighting products for the mining, military, engineering, industrial, security, agriculture and 4x4 markets.
Hi-Lift jack is a rugged, highly-versatile jack for lifting, pushing, pulling, winching and clamping. With over 100 years of quality, the jacks are designed to be used in the most demanding situations.

Poll: Public More Likely to Blame GOP for Failed Fiscal Cliff Deal
But Americans expect both parties to act like 'spoiled children'
"You go first" / Image: isharesblog.com
A new poll finds the public more likely to pin Republicans with the blame for "fiscal cliff" talks that end up going nowhere, reports The Hill. A CNN survey of just over 1,000 Americans found that 45% of them would blame the GOP for any failed fiscal cliff negotiations taking place on Capitol Hill, while 34% would point the finger at Democrats. Additionally - and no doubt of interest to Grover Norquist - a slight majority of Republicans polled think a combination of spending cuts and tax increases are needed to reduce the federal budget deficit. Sadly but not unexpectedly, only 28% of folks surveyed actually believe politicians in either party will act like "responsible adults." The remainder affirm the survey's language likening DC lawmakers to "spoiled children." "Americans aren't sanguine about the prospects of a deal," said CNN Polling Director Keating Holland.
