How to Reduce Inventory Shrinkage
Inventory shrinkage is a financial accounting term that refers to a retailer losing product or profit between manufacturing and the final sale. Shrinkage is a negative occurrence that leads to decreased overall profits. In the United States, inventory shrinkage comprises approximately 1.5 percent of total sales, which equates to billions of lost dollars a year. There are many possible causes of inventory shrinkage; the largest cause-which includes about 44 percent-is employee theft and shop-lifting is another major cause. It is possible to enact policies to prevent this cause of shrinkage as well as others. Use these steps to combat inventory shrinkage.
1Prevent employee theft from the point of sale (POS) terminal by using an efficient POS software solution.
- Review daily transactions through the POS terminal for suspicious behavior. Examples of suspicious behavior include unnecessary and excessive access to the cash drawer, recorded refunds in small amounts, and product returns not matching the product.
- Scrutinize each voided or deleted sale performed at the register. Employees can void a real sale to steal products.
- Require each employee to sign into the POS terminal with a unique password and username. Limit what each employee is able to do when signed in to the terminal. For example, you might require employees to call a manager to perform voids or product returns.
- Study your daily profit margins report to locate questionable losses. If there are substantial losses in one department regularly, you might need to investigate that department for employee theft.
- Utilize POS protection software to prevent employees from obtaining the credit card information of customers through the terminal.
2Maintain a strict employee theft policy.
- Explain fully that theft is a fireable offense and that there are no second chances. If employees think they can get away with theft, they are much more likely to attempt to steal than if there is a strictly enforced employee theft policy in place.
- Make examples out of previous employees to affirm your seriousness.
3Install security cameras, security tags and hire a security guard.
- Ward off both employee theft and shoplifting by installing visible security cameras throughout the store and workroom. Seeing a security camera is a proven deterrent to crime.
- Review the security cameras each night to monitor odd behavior associated with theft or shoplifting. Let your employees know in a subtle manner that the security cameras are working and checked often.
4Provide good employee training.
- Thwart register errors by ensuring each employee fully understands the POS terminal and his or her duties at the register. Non-criminal cash register errors account for a considerable percentage of inventory shrinkage.
- Train your packagers and warehouse employees how to properly lift and handle product. Damage to products is almost entirely preventable.
5Purchase a necessary amount of perishable goods.
- Figure out the correct amount of perishable goods to buy each week/month to prevent having to throw away product that is past its sell-by date. This requires organization and precise record-keeping.
6Complete paperwork carefully.
- Perform administrative duties attentively to counteract the 15.3 percent loss of inventory that happens yearly due to administrative mistakes.
Community Q&A
- Allow your employees to witness you reviewing daily transactions. If employees see a manager or owner taking the time to keep careful track of sales, potential thieves might be dissuaded.

Some sketches from Saturday's Sketchcrawl:
My warmup: quick uniball sketches of everyone sketching. Most of the time I would look up and the person I was drawing would be drawing me! A fair trade, I suppose.
A sketch from the park at Fort Mason. Dave fell asleep on the grass while I worked on this. I think he had a nice nap.
This girl in Ghirardell Square knew she was being drawn. She was posing for us.
It was a bit chilly.
Inside Ghirardelli Cafe. I suspect she knew I was drawing her, hence the rather unpleasant look. Other than that, there really is no reason to look unpleasant inside the Ghirardelli Cafe. Ever.
Saturday was certainly a day full of drawing for me! Bill, Dave, and I met up with the San Francisco Sketchcrawlers at Ghirardelli Square at 11am, stayed there until sketchbook swapping was wrapping up at 6, and THEN Bill and I went directly to a single's mixer for the Berkeley Humane society where we volunteered as caricature artists. Neither one of us had ever really done caricatures for people before, so I hope we didn't disappoint. The event was a lot of fun because we were doing portraits of people AND their dogs! So thanks to Piper, Travis, Macgregor, Jack, Brutus, and Sassy Girl (and their owners ofcourse, because I can't possibly be expected to remember people's names) for making it such a fun evening. And thanks to Bill for inviting me to tag along.

You created such a Beautiful city scape. I totally missed the SF sketchcrawl. I was in Legoland that day and your illustration reminds me of the mini SF lego city.
I really like the caricatures and watercolors of women sitting..There's great expression and movement in their posture.

Peri Gilpin is taking on a new role in Lifetime's original movie The Choking Game, playing a mother who's about to be shell-shocked by what her daughter (played by Freya Tingley) will do for a high. It's a tough subject and a compelling film. We checked in with Peri last Wednesday to discuss the movie - and how many Frasier references she still gets, even though the show ended a decade ago.
"I read the script and what struck me was honestly, it wasn't like [just] the mom of the kid doing the thing. It was a mom in hell trying to figure out what her kid was doing," Peri explained of her Choking Game role. "Everything starts out so great. [Her daughter]'s starting her senior year, she's a wonderful athlete, she's a good student. And then all of a sudden her daughter just starts to change in front of her, and she can't find drugs and she can't figure out what's going on.
"The daughter's doing what kids do. She's experimenting, she's exploring, she's trying to develop some confidence and independence," she continued. "But she's going about it in kind of a crazy way. So it's that weird line where you want to kill them yourself or you want to help them."
What's disturbing about the movie - based on the book Choke by Diana Lopez - is that it's not entirely made up for television. The specific story is fictional, but the "choking game" is an actual phenomenon, particularly through social media. "They're being introduced to it as a game where you can get high," Peri explained. "These teenagers, I think, that get into this kind of thing, they're a little lost. They're trying to be someone with their brain together...You can find other people doing it that don't have to face the idea of hurting you."
Despite the heavy subject matter, Peri told us that the experience of making the film was a welcome one. "I loved working with this director, Lane Shefter Bishop is her name, and also the producer Jon Eskenas, because they worked really hard creatively and technically to make it relevant. And I loved the crew in Winnipeg, and I loved Winnipeg. It's beautiful, and I thought it was a really great choice for this. Freya and Alex [Steele] are wonderful actresses, and I had such a great professional experience."
"And everyone, I think, felt like it was an important story to tell," she continued. "It's not heavy-handed at all. It's about this really lovely teenager who meets another lovely teenager. They're both lost a little bit. It's sort of like the kind of thing you could watch with your family and talk about it after."
Peri is, of course, best known for her long-running role as the brassy Roz Doyle on the classic TV sitcom Frasier. Does she still get Frasier references all the time? "Yes, I do," she told us. "And I love it. I always did."
What other roles still stand out for her? "I played a mom on a show called Make It or Break It. And I loved that, too, because that was a real quandary that family was in. They just had to pick up and follow this kid and do whatever it took," she continued. "This year, I was a hooker on Modern Family. And my kids haven't ever watched it, but there were kids at school that did, and I found out the head of our school watches it too. It cracked me up, because it was such a fun part to do. And Roz was a blast. I'm just so glad I got to do that for so long."
As a mother herself, Peri can identify with the journey her character takes in The Choking Game. "I think it's the first time I've ever played my own mother and myself, kind of," she reflected, "because I see the looks on my daughters' faces when I get too involved...It can be smothering when you want to be too much a part of your daughter's life. But at the same time, they need to know that's how you feel.
"My character, when all of a sudden her daughter starts talking to her in ways she's never talked to her before and behave in ways she's never seen before, there's a real hurt," she continued. "I think a lot of it is because it's well written, but Freya is also a wonderful actress. And then toward the end, I think the two of them get much closer, but they had to go on this little trip together - and I think Karen, the daughter, is ready to go on with the rest of her life."
The Choking Game airs Saturday, July 26 at 8 PM ET/PT on Lifetime. For more with Peri, follow her on Twitter (@GilpinPeri).

The officer who died in a shooting at a Glasgow police station is named as an investigation into his death begins.
21:56, UK, Monday 05 November 2012
A police officer who died after a gun was fired in a Glasgow police station has been named as 41-year-old Constable Rod Gellatly.
He was at Baird Street police station on Monday morning when the inciden happened.
An ambulance was called to the scene at around 11am. No one else is understood to have been involved.
A spokesman from the force said PC Gellatly's family has been informed.
Assistant Chief Constable Bernard Higgins said: "It is with great sadness that I have to tell you that a serving Strathclyde Police officer died in an incident where a firearm was discharged at Baird Street Police Office.
He added: "Our thoughts are with the officer's family and friends at this difficult time."
Officers from an independent force, Lothian and Borders Police, have been appointed to oversee an investigation into PC Gellatly's death.
Brian Docherty, chairman of the Scottish Police Federation, said: "It is too early to speculate as to the circumstances surrounding the tragic death and our thoughts turn immediately to his family who have lost their loved one and colleagues who have lost a friend."

Saint John recalls the final events that are to occur on earth written in the Book of Revelation, the concluding book of the New Testament. The Book is written based on what Saint John physically witnesses, and is told to write. Therefore, the Book of Revelation will sound much different from the Book of John. In the Book of Revelation, Jesus presents the mysteries of God's Will regarding the Church and the world.
"The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him, to shew unto his servants things which must shortly come to pass; and he sent and signified [it] by his angel unto his servant John (Revelation 1:1-20)."
This Book is the most powerful and crucial account in the entire Bible. This does not imply that the other Books are of any less importance, the Book of Revelation only offers the final piece of the puzzle so-to-speak. Saint John describes the various events that will take place before our Lord Jesus arrives for the Final Judgment. Various things must happen prior to Jesus setting foot back on earth. All these things must take place and will, whether humanity is ready or not.
If you would, read the Book of Revelation at some point, if you have not already. Some occurrences seem to be taking place even today. To avoid argument or misinterpretation perhaps you should read the Book for yourself. There are no specific interpretations of the Book of Revelations among most of the Churches around the world due to the contents of this Book and how seemingly vague the Book of Revelation can sound. However, the Scripture is also quite clear in the events to come.
"Behold, I come quickly: blessed [is] he that keepeth the sayings of the prophecy of this book (Revelation 22:7)."
Above all, the Book has some strong images, with vivid descriptions of what will take place. It is not a pleasant book by any means. It will cause some disruption in your mind and heart. This should not discourage you from reading this Book for we all are responsible for being mindful of what is to come.
Beloved, do not fear the Book of Revelation but welcome the warning given to us by our Lord Jesus. This Book is a highly informative tool and gift given to us to understand and be made aware of the events to come. If you are fearful, pray! Let God know your initial reactions or worries. Allow our Lord and Savior to take these fears and worries from you and ask for His strength.
Remember the words written in the Book of Revelation to allow you to get closer to our Lord through more praying and repenting. Be courageous and continue to believe in our Lord Jesus. Do not let go of this belief.

For those who've come across the seas: the state of multiculturalism in Australia
It's now been over a month since Tony Abbott became Australia's Prime Minister and the Coalition government came into power.
One notable change to the ministerial cabinet was the absence of a multicultural affairs minister, formerly looked after by Labor Senator Kate Lundy.
So what might be the implications of this be for multiculturalism in Australia? And how does Australia now fair in terms of multiculturalism in an international context?

During the discussion on multiculturalism, a comparison was made between comments made by an individual living in an a relatively isolated location with those of a broadcaster. Unfortunately, this contained a subtext that that it is intolerable to offend non-whites, women, non-Anglo Saxon and/or non-Christian religions but that comparably offending whites, men and/or Anglo Saxon Australians, Americans, British etc is tolerable. Recognition that acceptance of cultures is not a one-way street is necessary for multiculturalism to be less of contentious issue.
09 Oct 2013 2:18:02pm
But of course, Stephen Coates, I thought that was already understood by the many. Let's keep building bridges.
Graham Bell :

It has taken a few days for my anger to subside after hearing the interview with Prof. Jakubowicz on Multiculturalism in Australia.
The basic concept of multuiculturalism is great - however, its implementation in Australia has been not only destructive and divisive but a delight for racist extremists .... not quite what it is supposed to do for us.
I was lucky enough to be raised in a genuinely multicultural environment - which is one reason I can scoff at the enduring false history of a mythical monocultural and intolerant Australia decades ago.
It was that fortunate upbringing that helped keep me alive in a very nasty war. It was that upbringing that allowed me to thrive as an ex-pat in East Asia and then later, to do reasonably well when interacting with people from that region. That upbringing was the foundation of my East Asian and Eurpoean language and cross-cultural skills..
None of that matters here in Australia. So far as the racist enthusiasts for the fake "multiculturalism" imposed on Australians are concerned, I am nothing but a boagan, a yobbo, a "Hansonite"(whatever that is supposed to mean), an object of bigotry and hate.
The sooner this imitation "multiculturalism " is ditched, the sooner we can have genuine tolerance and healthy social interaction among all residents of this country as well as new arrivals.
JGNAU: Why keep on trying to build bridges when sanctimonious boofheads keep burning them down - in the name of their diseased version of "multiculturalism"?
11 Oct 2013 1:55:47pm
Gandhi wrote in his autobiography: "I like the wind of multiculturalism but I do not want it to blow so strong that it blows me off my feet." Do people with the most extreme views fan wars? Best to build bridges instead I dare say and provide rice or bread, water, a bed and a blanket for the homeless.
Graham Bell :
14 Oct 2013 9:26:39pm
Thank you, JGNAU, for your quote from Mohandas Gandhi. How apt!
Perhaps we can build bridges after all .... but only if we build them out of steel and concrete so as to withstand the vicious attacks on them by those have an illogical hatred of easy-going and quite tolerant native-born Australians .... and only if we have guards on them to prevent them being misused by very nasty, very greedy people who generate hatred for their own personal gain - regardless of how much damage they cause.
And No!, I'm not talking about Hanson here; she was only ever a bothersome ordinary nationalist and a very convenient target. I'm talking about real racists, hypocritical racists who keep their racism carefully hidden from view .... and in my experience, it is they who are so quick drag out the Hanson bogeyman whenever they smell grant money or whenever they want to get their own way.
Let's just have give-and-take relations between people of differing backgrounds; good hearted interactions where each learns from and respects the other. It's not a zero-sum game at all - as both "sides(??)" of the multicultural squabbles would try to have us all believe.

Traders See Short-Term Hurdles for Lululemon Athletica
Schaeffer's Investment Research
Bears targeted LULU's September 65 put yesterday.
Put activity accelerated on
Lululemon Athletica Inc.
(NASDAQ:LULU) Thursday, as the stock fell in sympathy with the
broader equities market
. Roughly 14,000 puts crossed the tape, more than doubling the average daily volume. LULU's September 65 put emerged as the most active strike on the day, where 4,325 contracts changed hands for a volume-weighted average price (VWAP) of $1.54. The majority of the puts went off on the ask side, and open interest added 3,233 positions overnight, making it safe to assume that a fresh batch of bearish bets was initiated.
By purchasing the out-of-the-money puts, the traders expect LULU to fall below $65 at some point throughout the next five weeks. More specifically, they will begin to profit with each step south of $63.46 (strike price less the VWAP) Lululemon takes ahead of the close on September 20, when the soon-to-be front-month options expire. This breakeven mark sits 10.5% below the stock's current price of $70.90. The options market is giving the put a roughly 1-in-5 chance of landing in the money during the course of its lifetime, as delta is perched at negative 0.22, or 22%.
These speculators were willing to pay a pretty penny for their bearish bets, though. In recent weeks, LULU's
Schaeffer's Volatility Index (SVI)
has moved to 45% -- its loftiest perch since early June. What's more, implied volatility at the September 65 put is inflated relative to the stock's 20-day historical (realized) volatility (49% vs. 21.1%), meaning premium is relatively expensive.
Broadening the sentiment scope reveals a healthier-than-usual appetite for calls, not puts, in LULU's options pits. During the course of the past 10 weeks, traders have bought to open 144,708 calls, compared to 78,798 puts. The resultant 50-day call/put volume ratio of 1.84 ranks in the 95th percentile of its annual range, suggesting long calls have been initiated over puts at a near annual-high clip. However, given that more than 14% of LULU's float is sold short, and considering the stock has been struggling on the charts of late, some of this call activity could represent short sellers
picking up hedges
on their bearish bets.
In fact, throughout the past three months, Lululemon Athletica has not only shed roughly 11% of its value, but it has also lagged the broader
(INDEXSP:.INX) by north of 8 percentage points. This negative price action is continuing in today's session, with the shares off 1.8% at 11:16 a.m. EDT.

You've probably been hearing a lot about how too much sugar is harmful to healthy brain functions. But, new research is now proving that sugar isn't the only type of food that negatively affects your mind.
Celebrate great health! LIKE BlackDoctor.org on Facebook!
New research shows that sugar can hurt your brain, as well as your waistline. In a recent animal study, UCLA researchers found that rats fed a solution of fructose had a harder time navigating a maze, a sign of slowed learning and memory loss, compared to a second group of rats who were given the fructose solution as well as omega-3 fatty acids, which are thought to have a brain-boosting effect.
READ: High Fructose Corn Syrup Sabotages Learning & Memory
The researchers suspect that the fructose-only diet decreased brain activity because it affected insulin's ability to help brain cells use sugar to process thoughts and emotions. Certain omega-3 fatty acids may buffer the brain from the harmful effects of fructose.
While this research is still preliminary, it's just general good health advice to minimize your intake of added sugar and up your consumption of foods rich in omega-3s, including walnuts, salmon, flax seeds and soybeans to your meals.
Saturated Fats
A diet high in "bad" saturated fat, such as red meat and butter, may hurt brain function, according to new Harvard research published in the Annals of Neurology. When researchers studied the eating habits and tested the brain function of 6,000 women for an average of four years, they found the women who ate the most saturated fat scored lower on tests of brain function and memory. On the other hand, women who ate the most monounsaturated fats (found in foods like olive oil and avocado) had higher scores.

This Sunday, the Tennessee State Museum will be hosting a special viewing of Nashville Public Television's documentary "Wessyngton Plantation: A Family's Road to Freedom."
The program follows the lives of the Washington families, black and white, from the years of slavery to freedom after the Civil War through artifacts currently on display in the museum's Wessyngton exhibit.
A Sumner County grammar school used to be named Wesssington and whether you spell it Wessyngton, Wessington or Washington, it still refers to the same clan as George, "Father of Our County" Washington. In this case, however, Wessynton Plantation was not in Virginia, but Middle Tennessee, although Like George's farm it too grew Tobacco and like George's it too had slaves.
What makes our Wessyngton interesting is that the population of the plantation, black and white, was relatively stable over a long period of time. Even after the abolition of slavery, much of the African American community there remained in the area, so Wessyngton is one of the better documented institutions: its former residents, black and white, are not just numbers on a page, but to a large extent we know them as individuals.
Using the exhibition and the book written about the plantation, NPT has produced a short film on this unique community of Tennesseans and it promises to be worth a look see. There is no admission charge for the viewing on Sunday, but a reservation ticket is required for seating. Seating is limited to 150 chairs and is available on a first-come, first-served basis to those visitors with reservations. The State Museum is on Deaderick Street downtown, well hidden by the state owned Polk Building. Come see the underground museum, the exhibit and the movie on Sunday. Y'all come.

If one was to ask some of the youngest children in Religious Education classes how many sacraments there are, they would respond, "seven." Conversely, if one was to encounter one of the original twelve apostles, it would be a very interesting question to ask them just how many sacraments are there in the Catholic Church. While many of them actually participated in the institution of the sacraments, it was not until hundreds of years later that the sacraments where actually defined. It is through much theological study and the development of traditions over hundreds of years of Church history that we know there are seven sacraments: Baptism, Reconciliation, Holy Eucharist, Confirmation, Marriage, Holy Orders, and the Sacrament of the Sick. One of the requirements of a sacrament is that it was divinely instituted.
Following is a listing of the seven Sacraments and when each was divinely instituted:
Trinitarian Baptism: a doorway sacrament leaving an indelible mark that forever identifies the person as a child of God; John the Baptist baptized Christ in the river Jordan.
Reconciliation: Christ sent the apostles forth to convert all nations; He instructed his apostles to forgive sins in his name.
Holy Eucharist: established by Christ at the Last Supper as the way He would be with us, His True Presence throughout time.
Confirmation: the coming of the Holy Spirit, as established on Pentecost.
Sacramental Marriage: Christ's presence and his first public miracle at the wedding at Cana elevated marriage to a sacrament.
Holy Orders: an indelible mark that confers a spiritual power for the governance and guidance in the ministry of divine worship; it is a matter of faith that Holy Orders is a sacrament instituted by Christ.
The Sacrament of the Sick: Christ's mission was a healing mission, a mission He left for his apostles and their successors to continue.
To learn more in depth concerning the seven sacraments, their institution, effects and celebration, read the book written by Nicholas Halligan, O.P., The Sacraments and Their Celebration.
The Columbus Catholic Connection: If you are an adult missing the Sacrament of Confirmation, contact the Diocese of Columbus Office of the Liturgy or your parish office at your first convenience to register for Adult Confirmation that is scheduled for celebration in November.

A recent study indicates that internet trolling (messing with people for fun at their expense on the internet, basically) is strongly correlated with personality traits associated with the garden-variety sociopath; namely, the "Dark Tetrad" of Machiavellianism (a desire to deceive and manipulate others), narcissism, psychopathy (lack of conscience, empathy or remorse) and sadism (taking pleasure in hurting others. The study was conducted by Erin buckels of the University of Manitoba.
His own summary of his study is as follows:
In two online studies (total N = 1215), respondents completed personality inventories and a survey of their Internet commenting styles. Overall, strong positive associations emerged among online commenting frequency, trolling enjoyment, and troll identity, pointing to a common construct underlying the measures. Both studies revealed similar patterns of relations between trolling and the Dark Tetrad of personality: trolling correlated positively with sadism, psychopathy, and Machiavellianism, using both enjoyment ratings and identity scores. Of all personality measures, sadism showed the most robust associations with trolling and, importantly, the relationship was specific to trolling behavior. Enjoyment of other online activities, such as chatting and debating, was unrelated to sadism. Thus cyber-trolling appears to be an Internet manifestation of everyday sadism.
Chris Mooney summarizes:
It is hard to overplay the results: The study found correlations, sometimes quite significant, between these traits and trolling behavior. What's more, it also found a relationship between all Dark Tetrad traits (except for narcissism) and the overall time that an individual spent, per day, commenting on the Internet.
In the study, trolls were identified in a variety of ways. One was by simply asking survey participants what they "enjoyed doing most" when on online comment sites, offering five options: "debating issues that are important to you," "chatting with others," "making new friends," "trolling others," and "other"(Mooney, 2014).
Fortunately, the internet 'trolls' constituted only 5.6 of the respondents. The researchers, as Mooney notes, used a distinct psychological survey for trolls:
The researchers conducted multiple studies, using samples from Amazon's Mechanical Turk but also of college students, to try to understand why the act of trolling seems to attract this type of personality. They even constructed their own survey instrument, which they dubbed the Global Assessment of Internet Trolling, or GAIT, containing the following items:
I have sent people to shock websites for the lulz.
I like to troll people in forums or the comments section of websites.
I enjoy griefing other players in multiplayer games.
The more beautiful and pure a thing is, the more satisfying it is to corrupt.
Yes, some people actually say they agree with such statements. And again, doing so was correlated with sadism in its various forms, with psychopathy, and with Machiavellianism. Overall, the authors found that the relationship between sadism and trolling was the strongest, and that indeed, sadists appear to troll because they find it pleasurable. "Both trolls and sadists feel sadistic glee at the distress of others," they wrote. "Sadists just want to have fun ... and the Internet is their playground!"
The study comes as websites, particularly at major media outlets, are increasingly weighing steps to rein in trollish behavior. Last year Popular Science did away with its comments sections completely, citing research on the deleterious effects of trolling, and YouTube also took measures to rein in trolling (Mooney, 2014).

Ken Brauman was the 2012 US Olympic Team Head Manager and you can learn horizontal jump drills from him in this series of plyometric jumps requiring little or no equipment. These drills are a must for those who are looking for some basic plyometric drills that show the drill in detail and explain how and why to do them.
Drill 1: The first drill is called continuous hopping and requires the athlete to hop a set distance on a single leg. This drill is shown using the takeoff leg only but could easily be expanded to both legs to develop balance and coordination.
Drill 2: The second drill is a common warm up bounding drill. The plus here is that we see video and hear commentary describing ideal athlete leg and arm position during the drill.
Drill 3: The sequence is finished with the alternate triple jump drill where the first two drills are combined to produce a dynamic coordination drill that could be used for not only jumpers but with all athletes in your program.

The idea of an international photographic federation was the brainchild of Dr. M. VAN DE WIJER, a physician by profession, but also a football and photography fanatic. The year was 1946.
The first countries to associate to it were Belgium, the Netherlands, Italy, Portugal and Switzerland; in September 1947, Denmark, Finland and Hungary make the number of members up to eight.
By June of 1950, in Berne (Switzerland) the Federation International de l'Art Photographique (FIAP) had 17 affiliated nations. FIAP now counts more than 85 national associations in the five continents and represents the benefits of nearly one million individual photographers.
Andy Capp by John Powell ABPE DPAGB EFIAP
Great Britain is a member of Federation International de l'Art Photographique through the Photographic Alliance of Great Britain.
FIAP aims to promote photography as a means of creating understanding and friendly links between photographers in all corners of the globe. All considerations of a political, ideological, or racial nature are absolutely banned from the activities of FlAP.
FlAP supports international exhibitions by offering its Patronage (i.e. agreeing to recommend) those which meet the minimum standards laid down by its regulations. These regulations are decided by discussion among member countries, and can be varied to suit particular local conditions, but in all cases FlAP Patronage guarantees to entrants that the patronised exhibition is properly run.
As additional encouragement to photographers to take part in international events FlAP created a world-wide system of photographic distinctions, earned by success in FlAP patronised exhibitions. These distinctions are the Artist (AFIAP) and the Excellence (EFIAP). Holders of EFIAP may also apply for the Master (MFIAP) by submitting work. The MFIAP is probably the greatest photographic honour in the world.

FIAP – Photographers Card
Lovers of photography not wanting to participate in International Salons, but who are active in photography within a society, who is a member of a national association, affiliated FIAP, can nevertheless demonstrate their membership to FIAP by obtaining, on request, from their national association, a FIAP badge in blue enamel.
Those that truly want to identify themselves with the principles and aims of FIAP can obtain a FIAP Photographer's Card that shows a photograph of the holder and is valid for life. FIAP Distinction holders can have their Photographers Card updated, free of charge, when a new distinction has been gained.

Even wood were being cut by new technology tools such as a log splitter to expedite the process and increases in high yielding output. This has alleviated meals shortages in lots of components of the world and lifted agrarian economies out of poverty by exports of surplus grains. Moreover, the Industrial Revolution heralded the trendy period with heavy machinery just like the stitching loom, steam engine which enabled mass production at decrease costs. TV has also evolved to online tv an example of which users can watch futurama online an entertainment comedy. Till for the time being, the fixed improvement of know-how will enhance efficiency in components of producing and permits additional output for each unit of input. Thus, technology in business holds great promise in lifting our world to an period of financial prosperity in future. These technology are also applied even to wedding industries where usage of softwares are used to design beautiful bridal gowns and wedding dress for Singapore brides. On the political entrance, might unite international locations to unravel worldwide issues collectively, fostering peace and sealing discords via a typical goal. Technology has helped us in small ways, such as transferring music and data from ipod to computer. There are many inconveniences in our lives, which science and technology can solve. Exports her home grown water remedy experience to totally different nations as a means to alleviate the issue of moveable water shortage worldwide. Coupling these methods with a good finance backer that helps many people in getting good payday loans as early as possible at fast pace does help tremendously in aid. Applied well can equal to flue fuel remedy and clear renewable power has united world leaders to resolve world environmental issues on a standard platform. With the rise of ecommerce and the internet, you can purchase anything online, such as places where they have flags for sale online. Because of this truth, it has the potential to pave the trail for world cooperation in fixing world issues, fostering peace and harmony between nations inside the process. Nonetheless, the thought of it alone with the ability to create a really perfect world is naïve and unrealistic and can result in catastrophic consequences. These ideals are often spread through the use of websites, which are beautifully designed using premium wordpress themes. It is great that with these themes we can create great looking websites to spread the message, but it may not essentially present an answer to all problems. Sources are scarce and human wishes are unlimited. There have been people who were mis-sold payment protection insurance in the United Kingdom, and thankfully there is UKppi claims to help these people get their funds back through claims. It would possibly only be capable of alleviate the problem of useful resource allocation such that everyone gets the utmost utility out of the available belongings however it absolutely positively can not fulfill everyone's greed. Because of the aging population in the US, being a pharmacy technician is gaining esteem as a good career path. Monopoly in business might ameliorate meals shortages and poverty in the general population nonetheless it cannot maintain with the rise in human inhabitants indefinitely. Thus, trying to use logic alone to unravel all the world's issues may blind us to the fact that such issues cannot be solved and lead us down a path of futile efforts. However, there are some things like pregnancy miracle which cannot be explained by science. The book elaborates on many miracle pregnancies which come about through alternative, holistic medicine. Thus, holding on to such a notion is harmful and counter productive.
Television has been controversial as a by product of science. However, the image that television reflects may not necessarily be a negative one. The extent of such depends solely on how the media, which, in this case is the television, chooses to present our society. There are many unique inventions in the new age which have benefitted many user groups, for example, the sonic producer.The diversity of television channels and programmes, for example, does provide not just one, but many other aspects of the state of our society. Although many reality television shows and drama serials depict our society to be a materialistic, superficial, shallow and chaotic one, more factual programmes such as the news and information channels serve to edify and educate viewers. When you watch tv and encounter a call from someone whom you want to know the details of, use reverse phone lookup to get the information you need. In doing so, also show the advancement of a society that does not remain static or stagnant. One may argue that such channels are often filtered by government bodies through censorship laws, and may not be wholly factual. There are loan services such as advanceloan.net which help us get our cash efficiently and reliably. Yet, it at the very least is a form of euphemism that takes away the brutality of reality and lessens the extent of ugliness of the image presented of the real world. The Blue Collar Scientist will regularly bring you the best and latest science and global news around the world.

XFree86/Xorg S3 Savage Duoview Support
Get the latest code
So having talked to a few people and dug around on the web a bit, I figured out the basics of how Duoview (sometimes called DuoVue) works on Savage chips. To the best of my knowledge it is only supported on the mobile versions (MX/IX and SuperSavage). I'm doing my development on an IBM T20 laptop, so I can only really test the Savage IX, although the MX and IX are really the same chip, the IX just has memory on the same package.
S3 debuted Duoview support on the Virge MX. I'd imagine Duoview works similarly on both, so if you have any information about the Virge MX, that might be helpful. If so I'd be happy to try and add duoview support to the Virge driver once I got it working on the Savage. I'm not sure if S3 required NDAs for the Virge databook, but they apparently do for the Savage.
My current work is against DRI cvs, however, my latest tarballs can be dropped into just about any X distro and should build fine.
If you have any questions about the driver or feel you might have something to contribute
(such as hardware or databooks :) ), send me email at
Current Progress
I've got the CRTCs and the dot clocks programmed correctly for each head, however, I can't seem to get a signal on the vga port. I suspect there is a bit somewhere that needs to be flipped to power up the vga port. If anyone knows more about this please let me know. I'd also like some info on how the streams regs and bitmap descriptors are dealt with on crtc2.
I've narrowed the problem down to crtc2. All the dot clocks and outputs work fine, however nothing seems to work when connected to crtc2. Tests:
CRTC DCLK Output Result
crtc1 dclk1 FP/CRT/Both Works
crtc1 dclk2 FP/CRT/Both Works
crtc2 dclk1 FP/CRT/Both No signal
crtc2 dclk2 FP/CRT/Both No signal
To make sure I wasn't programming crtc2 wrong in my second head code path, I reworked the single head version of the driver with writes to the crtcs mirrored (mirrored writes, reads from crtc1). I verified the correct values were written to the regs in the register dumps. that way the same mode would be written to each controller. No dice.
SUCCESS AT LAST! I can finally get crtc2 up! nothing more than a cloned desktop at the moment, but now that I have the modes working, the rest should come in time. latest code and binary
. Many thanks go out to Austin who helped me figure this out.
Now that I've got crtc2 producing an image, I've got some new problems. I can't seem to change the framebuffer offset for crtc2. It's always locked at 0. Also the second hardware cursor doesn't seem to show up.
I now have a working patch available for duoview. The patch is available
and is against DRI cvs (trunk). I've also provided a binary (compiled on redhat 8ish) and a sample XF86Config file
. I can only verify that it works on savage IX/MX, but it may also work on supersavages. As far as I know, mobile twister and prosavage chips only have 1 crtc. There are no dualhead desktop savage chips that I know of. If someone knows otherwise please let me know. TV out and s3switch will probably break duoview if you use it so be careful. The current support is something of a hack...a proof of concept if you will.
New Patch. This new code ports over the recent changes from xorg cvs. The main change is the restructuing of the streams code in the addition of a new savage_streams.c,h. In addition to the patch you will need to download the savage_streams.c and h. Same problems still apply.
Full MergedFB support for Savage. Grab the tarball
. I ported my radeon mergedfb code to savage. There are still a few bugs, but it works fine for the most part. Same problems with crtc2, hwcursor, etc. apply here as well. What does this mean? well, you now get xinerama support for apps that use it, and proper mode validation on both heads.
A supersavage user has confirmed that duoview works on his laptop AND... CRTC2'S OFFSET MOVES! Hopefully I can figure out how supersavage is being set up differently that allows crtc2 to move. If not, then either MX/IX has an additional tweak I don't know about or the/my HW is slightly broken.
CRTC2 problem is solved. CR65 does not need to be set on SavageIX/MX. New patches soon to follow.
New tarball available. MergedFB works pretty well. I've also attempted to add support for "regular" multihead, although it doesn't really work right just yet. I'm not quite sure what the problem is. Xv also isn't quite working yet.
New tarball available (
)! Just about everything now works: MergedFB and "xinerama" multi-head. Xv is untested, but probably broken (that's next on the block for fixin'). The console also gets hopelessly corrupted once dualhead has been enabled. Thanks again to Austin at S3/VIA! Without his help, none of this would have been possible. Also thanks to Ian McIntosh for testing and fixing a bug in the matchbiosmodes() output. Sample configs available
I'm slowly merging the dualhead code into xorg. The first order of business is to merge "regular" dualhead then mergedfb. My initial patch for merging is available
I committed my initial patch to xorg cvs last night along with some other clean ups.
I committed some small fixes for supersavage users to xorg cvs last week. Also some supersavage users report problems with XaaScreenToScreenCopy on crtc2. If you experience that problem add the XaaNoScreenToScreenCopy option to your device config. At somepoint I'll get around to fixing it.
Fixed HW cursor on crtc2. CR45 is shadowed. Xv on crtc2 is almost there. This and several other updates will be committed as soon as fd.o cvs is back up.
Mark van Reijn reports that dualhead with tv-out works! Just set the the 'TvOnly' option in your second device section.
Xinerama Configuration notes
Same as other multi-head adaptors (Screen 0/Screen 1, etc.). Make sure you specify the same BusID for both device sections.
MergedFB Configuration notes
MergedFB is configured the same way as on sis and radeon.
See the updated man page
Current Status
- Setting mode and refresh on crtc1 and 2
- Multi-head DRI in MergedFB mode (assuming you have an enough videoram)
- DPMS for both LCD and CRT
- TV out in conjuction with duoview
Not implemented (yet)
- Secondary streams on crtc2 (Xv) (in progress)
- Non-bios mode setting on crtc2

Dear Reader,
Welcome to the world of Jamie Swift and Max Holt! My good friend Charlotte Hughes and I have teamed up to create a series of books featuring these two characters and they've taken on a life of their own! These books are not set in the same world as my Stephanie Plum novels, but what they have in common is lovable, dysfunctional characters, villains you love to hate, and a cross-eyed way of looking at life. Jamie and Max have intense chemistry-even though they drive each other crazy. Max thinks Jamie is a magnet for trouble and Jamie thinks Max is the most annoyingly sexy, mysterious man she's ever met. She knows she should stay away from him. But boy, oh boy, do the sparks fly when they get together. Jamie is a newspaper owner from a small southern town. And in Full Speed, she's after the story of a lifetime. Max Holt is right in the middle of that story, and so Jamie tracks down the millionaire playboy, forcing him to take her on as partner. What follows is a story of a corrupt minister, a gang of mobsters on the loose, a hound dog called Fleas, a wise-cracking computer genius, and lots of love in the fast lane. Not to mention plenty of steamy action between Jamie and Max.
So have fun with Full Speed. We're going to sign off now and get back to creating more romantic adventures between Jamie Swift and Max Holt. Enjoy and happy reading!
Janet and Charlotte
"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
Janet Evanovich is the author of the Stephanie Plum books, including One for the Money and Sizzling Sixteen, and the Diesel & Tucker series, including Wicked Appetite. Janet studied painting at Douglass College, but that art form never quite fit, and she soon moved on to writing stories. She didn't have instant success: she collected a big box of rejection letters. As she puts it, "When the box was full I burned the whole damn thing, crammed myself into pantyhose and went to work for a temp agency." But after a few months of secretarial work, she managed to sell her first novel for $2,000. She immediately quit her job and started working full-time as a writer. After 12 romance novels, she switched to mystery, and created Stephanie Plum. The rest is history. Janet's favorite exercise is shopping, and her drug of choice is Cheeze Doodles. She and her husband live in New Hampshire, in house with a view of the Connecticut River Valley.
Charlotte Hughes was raised in the South, the oldest and only daughter of three children. She is the author of the novels What Looks Like Crazy and High Anxiety. She lives in Beaufort, South Carolina.
From AudioFile:
With surprising ease, Lorelei King depicts a colorful cast of characters that include Mafia hit men, a corrupt preacher, and wealthy, debonair Max Holt. There's plenty of sexual tension between reporter Jamie Swift and playboy Holt. She's after the story of a lifetime; he's right in the middle of it. King easily switches accents and personalities, carrying the listener into this charming romantic suspense. She excels in her portrayal of Muffin, a car computer with Marilyn Monroe's voice. The Full series continues to enchant listeners. G.D.W. © AudioFile 2004, Portland, Maine-- Copyright © AudioFile, Portland, Maine

George M. Pullman formed the Pullman Land Association with Colonel James Bowen and purchased 4,000 acres for $800,000 in the late 1870s. He built a factory and town on this land along Lake Calumet, 14 miles south of Chicago near the Illinois Central Railroad lines.
Pullman then commissioned architects Solon Beman and Nathan Barrett to design a factory and town. Beman and Barrett designed 1300 original structures, including brick homes, schools, parks, a library, a theater and an administration building. Pullman's plan included educational programs and recreational activities for the workers of Pullman's Palace Car Company factory and their families. He believed the complex would solve labor problems and poverty. His town would also provide a 6% profit from leases and revenue from company stores. In 1881, the first residents moved in, and in 1884, the State Labor Commission labeled Pullman, Illinois a success.
Hotel Florence was built and named for Pullman's daughter. The showpiece of the community was the administration building with its Clock Tower and a man-made lake. Market Square contained stores for community residents. Greenstone Church was available for lease for interested denominations.
Pullman was proud and protective of his town. He wanted his workers to breathe clean, country air and have the best community so they would be happy and loyal to the company. He prohibited saloons, independent newspapers, public speeches, town meetings, open discussions and private charitable organizations. Workers' homes were inspected for cleanliness, and leases could be terminated in 10 days.
By 1892, Pullman's town was worth $5 million. It attracted visitors to the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition, and Pullman was admired for his foresight and goodwill. Pullman, Illinois was considered one of the most wholesome places in the world.

CB&S Bank History
CB&S Bank was incorporated as Citizens Bank on February 28, 1906 and opened its doors for business on March 3, 1906. The bank was started with $25,000 in capital. The above photo shows the Wilson Building, where Citizens Bank first opened its doors.
In 1906, Russellville, Alabama was not exactly the most opportune place to establish a bank. It was far removed from the country's financial centers, with a farm economy highly dependent on the weather and the whims of the commodity markets. Yet William H. Key, Sr., Charles E. Wilson, and Foster Gavin weren't interested in obstacles. Instead, the three founders of CB&S Bank focused on the unmet needs of farmers and town merchants alike. The three of them, along with other investors, pulled together $25,000 in seed money and incorporated the bank as Citizens Bank and Savings Company on February 28, 1906. Of course, CB&S Bank began with far more than capital. We opened our doors on March 3, 1906, with a vision to provide extraordinary service to the people of the region, staking our own growth on the growth of the region. It certainly wasn't easy, yet we survived boom, bust, depression, and war to emerge as an indispensable financial partner for the people of northwest Alabama. As the 20th Century grew old, however, we began planning a new era of expansion. We at CB&S Bank realized that our blend of cutting-edge financial products and traditional customer service could serve people well beyond Franklin County.
As the bank has grown and expanded throughout the region, we increasingly ran into other Citizens Banks. So effective March 3, 2008, Citizens Bank officially changed its name to CB&S Bank.
As a result, we began to expand beyond our traditional markets, moving into bigger cities and crossing state lines. In 2000, CB&S Bank entered the Mississippi market, and in 2006, we expanded into Tennessee. Through the years, we continued to expand our footprint by acquiring banks and opening new locations. Our latest purchase of the deposits of the former Community South Bank expanded our footprint to over 50 offices in three states, all across the Southeast.
CB&S Bank's Current Footprint
If our founders dropped by today for a visit, they would be amazed at what they would find. Our traditional teller cages have been replaced with smiling customer service representatives. The handwritten ledgers have vanished, replaced by state-of-the-art Internet Banking that allows customers to conduct business any time of the day or night–innovations that we take for granted today but would have been nothing short of miraculous over 100 years ago. At the same time, amid all the new technology and changes in the financial business, our founders would instantly recognize one thing about CB&S Bank: our total commitment to the needs of our customers and our shareholders; it's the philosophy that has propelled our growth in good times and bad. As we plan for the next century of growth, this philosophy is the way CB&S Bank will enjoy a prosperous, stable, and secure future.
CB&S Bank is a $1.5 billion leading community bank, headquartered in Russellville, Alabama, operating over 50 branches in the Alabama, Mississippi, and Tennessee markets. Employing over 500 people company-wide, we offer a complete line of full-service banking products and other related financial services to retail and commercial customers through our subsidiaries.
