We had a grat stay in this appartement. Nice and clean. Beautyful view. Close to nice restaurants, and very simple with the busstop just a two minutes walk from the appartement, either you wantet in to the city or the other way out to the beaches. A bit noise from the streets, but we got use to it. Tony and Maria was the best hostes. Thanks a lot from both of us.
Mari and Tony were fantastic. The apartment was wonderful with fantastic views. Location is perfect if your driving or not as the public transport is outside. Chill out on the settee or veranda and watch the yatchs and super-cruises. Loads of bars and restaurants within walking distance. My wife and I had a great time and are looking forward to renting their other property a luvly villa with our family this July. Thank you both....

From the first contact to Tony and Maria until our last day it was a great stay. They gave us TOP-tips for visiting the island, told us where to eat or to go shopping and gave us good and comprehensible answer to many answers we had. The apartment is well equipped, we missed nothing. The washing machine as well as the refrigerator are new. Everything worked fine.The view from the balcony on the bay and the harbour is awesome. The pictures show exactly like the apartment is. It was no problem for us, to find a place for our rental car, even on weekends. In germany we are living in a street with very low traffic, but the traffic noise there in palma was not disruptiv for us, we slept really well. The oranges Maria gave us on our first day, were the best we ever had!! In case of any problems or questions we could communicate per WhatsApp, so it was easy to change our time of departure because the answered very quickly and confirmed it again one day before.
Because of all this points and no negative experience we would therefore recommend this apartment.
@Maria and Tony: Thank you so much for your help for our perfect stay and all the best for you and your family. We'll return for sure. Best wishes, Matthias and Barbara
we have just returned from a wonderful weeks holiday in this lovely comfortable apartment. Everything was first class and all our needs were well met. The apartment was bright, clean, well furnished and well maintained. Situated across from the marina we had great views from the balcony. Tony met us on arrival and gave us plenty of information about the area and made us very welcome. The beautiful city centre of Palma is just a short walk away and we spent every day enjoying everything Palma has to offer. We would thoroughly recommend this apartment to friends and family without any hesitation.
There are a vast number of must see and go places within the close proximity of the apartment.
Just behind the apartment is Bellver castle and park with its surperb views of the bay of Palma and the city itself.
The waterfront and its cycle routes take you along the front to the local beaches or into the city center.
Popular eating districts such as Santa Catalina and La Lonja are great for trying out tapas, local and international meals.
The Buluvard museum as well as the historic Gothic/Arab quarters close to the old town and the cathedral are a must.
The waterfront is a popular place to go out in the evening for a drink or dance into the early hours of the morning with its numerous bars and clubs.
A short bus trip to Plaza España and you can hop onto the oldest electric train in Spain to Soller which is a great day out. You can also catch many buses to other destinations of the island.
The fresh fish markets at Santa Catalina and Plaza Olivar provide not just markets stalls but have become popular places to have tapas.
Although the apartment is located along the `Paseo Maritimo´ Palma waterfront, it also provides easy hassle free access to numerous local beaches such as Cala Mayor, Illetas or Playa de Pere Antoni which can all be reached by car/bus or cycle and are within 2-5 km from base.
All in all the apartment offers a fantastic location for holiday makers to get a real free for the island, have plenty to do and experience something positively unique.

Singapore is not unlike a mini-cosmos: it offers a multitude of activities and attractions, boasts a totally unique personality and, most of the time, seems to live in a world of its own. Perhaps it's the fact that the 'national' identity is just such a mixed-bag of ethnic diversities, or the fact that it's been handed back and forth between foreign nations like a Fedex pack over the last century, but fact remains that whatever it is that has rendered Singapore so unlike anywhere else seems to be here for good. Yippie!
Renowned for its cleanliness, law and order and pristine and sunny disposition, Singapore is an ideal host country for anyone who wants an easy, hassle-free yet still brilliant break. Check out the following best things to do in Singapore and plan your next trip with a little pizzazz.
Things to do in Singapore – Shop till you drop…
No matter what you do in Singapore, you won't be able to get away from the shopping, so we suggest you get it out of your system as soon as possible so you can concentrate on the more cultural sides of the city. Head to Orchard Street and, if you don't find something to buy within the 22 shopping malls and four department stores, you're simply not trying hard enough. Just don't be a bore, and fill your suitcase with the usual Singaporean fluff! Read our REALLY good guide to shopping in Singapore and bring home something your grandkids will feel too guilty to sell on Ebay in 50 years' time.
Come fly with me…
Singapore's version of the Eye of London is by no means a poor imitation; in fact most people are claiming this to be the much better version. Whether that's because Singapore has a much more striking skyline, or the fact that clear skies are the norm here rather than the exception, we don't think it's fair to compare. London may lose out big time. Singapore's skyline is renowned for being intensely bright and completely colourful, and there's no better place in the city to enjoy the sparkly spectacle than from the tip top of the Singapore Flyer.
A ride on the city's ferris wheel lasts half an hour and is rather reasonably priced, just don't make the mistake of doubling the price for a champagne ride! All you'll get is a watered down Sling and a souvenir champagne glass you can get at the $2 store. Save your pennies for a real glass of bubbly after the ride.
Channel your inner botanist…
There are various reasons why the city's urban natural haven, the Singapore Botanic Gardens, should be on the top of your wish-list: first of all it's beautiful, second of all it's a great place for a morning jog when everything else is still closed, and third of all it's about the only place in the city where you don't run the risk of maxing out your credit card. Oh, you may just want to bring a little cash so you can pay to visit the incredible Orchard Garden however; it's like a Singaporean flowery heaven!
Local flora is beautifully signposted for the botanically-challenged, and the whole 183 acre natural estate is pure bliss in a city which at times may seem like it is completely artificial.
Go ape-shit!
As with all things 'made in Singapore' the city's premier zoo is one of the most organized and best kept anywhere in the world. When visiting the Singapore Zoo, one is 'almost' happy to see some of the planet's most incredible creatures in captivity; if only all zoos were like this. The animals have the run of this place and visitors certainly never get the feeling the exhibits are restricted in any way. You may see the usual run of zoo species, yet the tropical settings and natural habitats make them that much more enjoyable. Orang-utan lovers ought to note that this is as close to them as you can get in any zoo, so don't miss your chance to get close and personal with the 'old men of the forest.' Just watch out; they spit!
Go on a little tour around Asia…
Singapore's ethnic diversity is one of the most celebrated sides of the city-state's culture. Going by the credo that everyone who stays in Singapore for more than 5 minutes can be considered a local, do dive into the most authentic quarters of town, namely Chinatown and Little India. The ideal destinations for those who really had a hard time deciding where to go on holiday, spending a whole day in Chinatown and Little India could feel like you've just won the holiday trifecta. Indulge in tea ceremonies, visit temples of all denominations, buy cheap souvenirs from outdoor markets, gorge on spicy curries, and enjoy a session of reflexology before returning to the relative tranquillity of the other Singapore.
Be Bear Grylls for a day…
Singapore's most prized nature reserve, the Sungey Buloh Wetland Reserve, has recently been named a crucial stop-over point for migrating birds in Australasia; so hey, if it's good enough for countless feathery ones, it's good enough for us! This may be a corner of Singapore which is a bit of a pain to reach on public transport, but this is probably the reason it is a quiet and delightfully contemplative retreat in the city. There are kilometres of walking trails which see you walk along, above and right through mangroves, accompanied by hundreds of birds, a few monitor lizards and perhaps a crocodile or two. The Singapore Nature Society offers a plethora of free and very informative guided tours, ideal for those (like us) who can't tell their kingfishers from their mudskippers (who knew one is a fish who can walk on land and the other a bird?) Check out the website for more info, and to find out which guided tours will be on when you plan to visit.
Escape to (another) island…
If it's starting to seem like all we're urging you to do once you get into Singapore is to get out of it, don't be alarmed. We just know that you probably don't need any guidance to shop, stroll along the waterfront, or indulge in some delectable local cuisine. You can do that all by yourself. So to that end, here's another invaluable activity not to miss when visiting Singapore: take a whole day trip to Sentosa Island.
Infinitely easy to reach and offering enough attractions to hold you there all day, Sentosa is the holiday retreat island of Singaporeans and a place you'll do well to explore. Home to the popular Universal Studios, as well as kilometres of pristine beaches, two premier golf courses, several animal and natural reserves, and half a dozen world-class resorts as well, Sentosa is an ideal choice if you want to just get away from Orchard Street for a day. But don't fret…there's plenty of shopping options here too!
Play with your food (just don't tell mum)…
You will undoubtedly be feasting whilst on a visit to Singapore, yet we think that the most memorable gastronomic experience may come from a local cooking class with Food Playground, one of Singapore's most beloved tourist activities. These authentic cooking classes are aimed specifically at those who believe that the best curries, laksas and hanan chicken sauces come from jars and tins. Totally hands-on, fun, messy and informative, the classes here are a great way to learn more about the traditional cooking methods used in Singapore, and the traditional influences all the immigrant shave had on this most unique Asian cuisine. What we love most about the guys at Food Playground is that they are not your typical, scary-looking chefs a-la Gordon Ramsey, but just a bunch of dedicated foodies who have a passion for sharing the food and culture of their country with visitors.
Gorge yourself senseless…
Your last holiday mission, should you wish to accept it, is to down as many Singaporean chilli mud crabs as you could possibly manage during your stay. We did! Singapore is renowned for its varied cuisine and optimal epicurean experiences, just take one look at our Singapore Eating Guide, and you'll soon realize that in this city, eating and breathing are pretty much the same thing: an intrinsic part of life one does without ever realizing one is actually doing it. Locals don't eat huge portions, granted, but they can seat down for a meal at least five or even six times a day; they are more food obsessed than most people realize and take great pride in their authentic cuisine. Of all the dishes you can and should try here, however, the Chilli Mud Crab would have to be the most iconic as well as the most delicious.
The incredibly messy yet unbelievably satisfying dish has been around for 60 years or so in Singapore, yet would have to be one of the fastest growing international dishes. The satisfaction of feasting on a chilli mud crab comes not only from its delicious taste, but also from fact that it can really only be eaten with one's hands. The crab is stir fried in a dense spicy sauce made with ketchup (seriously), soy sauce, ginger and shallots, thickened with eggs and corn flour; and usually served on a bed of noodles. The whole thing is just a floating, slurpy bowl of sweet and sour yumminess. Extra real chilli should be requested if you like yours with a little kick.
Chinese sweet buns are usually served alongside the dish, ideal for mopping up leftovers from your plate, hands and face and quite possibly your hair too. So it's not going to win you any 'first date' points, that's for sure, but who cares about looks and decorum when it tastes so good!?
Hints on where to try it: generally avoid hawker stalls for this particular dish; stick to restaurants which only serve mud crabs (the varieties abound). Moreover, pick a place overrun with Asians as opposed to Westerners! They don't necessarily need to be Singaporeans by the way; mud crab is a popular dish in the whole region and Asians are obsessed with food quality so you can't go wrong following the 'local' herds.
Comatose yourself…
It's safe to say that on the last day of your trip you may be more than happy to take it easy. Although mud crab indigestion has (reportedly) never killed anyone, there's really no reason to put your body under any additional and unnecessary stress. To this end, we urge you to round off your trip with a sublime pamper session at Singapore's premier spa: the Banyan Tree Spa at Marina Bay Sands. This luxurious establishment offers a multitude of treatments including full body scrubs and rubs, rejuvenating facials and, we're told, an absolutely orgasmic pedicure. We can't attest to the latter as we actually fell asleep, but our footsies were left heavenly smooth! Opulent treatments, amazing views form the 55th floor, and a sensational floating feeling which lasted for days could well be the most ideal way to bring a Singapore holiday to a heavenly close.

The Future of AP: Holistic Processes Create Value
Following is the sixth blog in a series based on a discussion between Bob Cohen, Basware VP North America, and Andrew Bartolini, Chief Research Officer, Ardent Partners and author of the recently published study e-Payables 2014: The Quest. During their conversation, a range of purchase-to-pay trends were discussed, including e-payments, business networks and social, mobile and cloud enablement. This blog focuses on the future of AP.
Bob Cohen: How committed are companies to an end-to-end AP process?
Andrew Bartolini: Organizations are looking at the AP process more holistically. We're starting to see more automation in the early parts of the AP process. As a result, organizations are able to process their invoices in a more rapid fashion so that they can take advantage of early payment discounts, should the opportunities exist. Unfortunately, many organizations are still unable to process their invoices within the discount window. But, those that are able to process their invoices quickly can start to make better-informed decisions in how they use their cash and optimize it.
Bob Cohen: What can we expect next in AP Automation?
Andrew Bartolini: The next big thing for AP automation is for organizations to be thinking holistically about the entirety of the process – not just worrying about how much paper is coming in on the front end, but what you need to do with it – how to digitize it and how to manage settlement. Companies are starting to think about purchasing and payment as a single transaction that requires collaboration and visibility between Procurement and Accounts Payable departments as well as synergies between systems to manage a single supplier relationship. Some organizations are already at that point, but most of them, as our research shows, are not. The next major step for the industry will occur when more organizations view procurement and payment holistically and put processes in place to accomplish that.

A Rapid Field & Laboratory Method to Detect Varroa jacobsoni in the Honey
Bee (apis mellifera)
Figure 1. The Langstroth comb behind the prototype device is for the size comparison.
A new device has been designed and developed over four years by the Department of Applied Zoology of the University of Helsinki. The prototype device was built in Finland by Farmcomp Ltd. (figure 1). Varroa mite detection research was conducted at the Agriculture Research Centre in Jokioinen, Finland. The device was tested in the U.S.A. for the detection of Acarapis woodi, in cooperation with the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Iowa State University and Dadant and Sons Inc. However, the detection method for the internal mite is still under investigation and is out of the scope of this article.
The method incorporates centrifugal force to dissociate varroa mites from bees in a closed container. Bees and a shaking solution were placed in a rotating chamber. Attention was given to the consistency of the load (bees and liquid) during experimentation to have a steady rotational speed. consequently a constant centifugal force. Four rotational speeds (6342, 5718, 5076 and 4752 rpm.) were examined for 10, 30 and 60 seconds. In a preliminary research the cheapest and most efficient liquid was found to be a solution of detergent which has no hazardous side effects. Washing detergent (Leijona) and water was used. Adding the detergent to a container of water avoids unwanted foam. No annoying foam was formed during the analysis of the samples. Two concentrations of detergent solution were investigated: low (one ml in three liters ) and high (one ml in one liter). Sample collection
Bees were sampled from two apiaries in Partalansaari, southeastern Finland. A pair of samples (each 0.5 deciliter mean 117 bees) were collected from 36 bee colonies every three weeks from
Figure 2. The inner structure of the closed rotational chamber.
May to August. Equal numbers of colonies of Apis mellifera mellifera, A. mellifera carnica and A. mellifera ligustica were used in this investigation. Collected bee samples were divided randomly into two groups for live (117+;23x+SD range 61-171) and frozen bee (118+25 range 60- 165) analysis. Bees were shaken from a comb into a container; then 0.5 dl of bees were measured and placed in a plastic bag. The live bee samples were analyzed within fifteen minutes. At the end of the day the bee samples were carried to a laboratory and frozen at approximately -20degC. The samples were defrosted at room temperature prior to examination. Initial examination
A bee chamber within the rotational chamber consisted of pillars, 3 mm apart, to filter the bees (figure 2). The solution of water and detergent, without bees, (150 ml) was measured by the use of the rotational chamber and poured into the plastic bag, over a sample of bees (frozen or live). The solution and bees were then poured back into the rotational chamber and deposited into the centrifugal device. The remaining mites, if any in the bag, were also added to the chamber with a paint brush. By having a wet cluster of bees it becomes easier to place them into the rotational chamber. Research demands accuracy, however in practice bees can be brushed directly into the chamber. The motor for rotating the sample can be run by an automobile 12 volt battery. After centrifuging the cylinder at various rotational speeds and times, mites were counted on the bottom of the transparent rotational chamber and bees were removed. The removed bees were placed in a rotary shaker for 30 minutes in 70% ethanol (USDA 1987), a method which removes 100% of the mites (De Jong et a1.1982). The bees and any fallen mites were then washed under a shower of tap water over 2 sieve screens (3mm and 0.5mm in pore-size) for 2-3 minutes (Fakhimzadeh 1993). The mites and the bees were then counted (n=129 separate examinations). Experimental design and statistical methods
Experiment 1. The effect of concentration of the detergent solutions
This was 2 (3) factorial design with fixed effects of detergent concentration (low and high), speed 6342 and 5718 rpm for 30 and 60 seconds. Two levels of each factor were chosen based on previous experiments giving a total of 8 treatment combinations. Samples of live bees n= 26 (0.5d1= 100.6+;12.3x+SD ranging 76-120 bees) were randomly assigned to each treatment and inspected for mites blindly (the examiner not knowing the history of a sample), 4-6 replications were used. The bees were infested with 13.9+;14.1x+;SD ranging 0.9-49.6 mites per hundred bees and 8 samples had < 3% mite infestation.
Experiment 2. The use of frozen bees vs. live bees
This was also a factorial design with fixed effects. The factors were freezing/not freezing, speeds 5718, 5076 and 4752 rpm and times 10, 30 and 60 seconds, giving a total of 18 treatments (n=103 out of which 28 samples had <3% infestation). The low concentration of the detergent solution was used. Randomization and inspection of the samples were as in experiment 1. The analyses of both experiments were accomplished with SAS (Statistical Associates Software) General Linear Modelling (GLM-procedure). Both experiments were conducted simultaneously.
The effects of detergent and speed in experiment 1 were both significant (p=0.026 and p=0.005, respectively). In experiment 2, where different speeds were used, none of the effects were significant (n=103). However, the effect of freezing was further analyzed by excluding samples with low infestation levels (< 3.0%) (19 from 69 live samples and 9 from 34 frozen samples). A significant difference (p<0.05) was detected in favour of frozen bees. The live bees (n= 69) were infested with x+SD 8.7+8.4 range (0.7 to 38.2) mites per hundred bees. Frozen bees n=34 were infested
Figure 3: The quantitative detection efficiency based on experiment 2 (n=100 separate examinations). Frozen bees, live bees and combined data are shown by an angle, circle and dash, respectively. Categorical number of observations of infestations <5 to >40 were 43, 24,13, 9, 3, 5, 3, respectively. Notice that the optimum speed (6342 rpm) and high concentration of detergent solution were not used in this experiment.

with ztSD 15124.8 range (0.7- 105.1) mites per hundred bees. The quantitative detection efficiency of the method is >90% (i.e. over 90% of mites in the sample are detected) when optimal conditions are in use (figures 3, 5 and 6). The qualitative detection efficiency of the method is 100% when infestation level is >3 mites/100 bees (n=93), at 51 mite /100 bees the efficiency is >85% (figure 4).The effects of single factors are displayed in figures 5 to 7.
The effect of detergent concentration is quite clear (figure 5) and becomes obvious considering the washing and centrifuging mechanisms that are utilized.
Speed was significantly different only in experiment 1 since in experiment 2 only the lower speeds were used. In fact, 6342 rpm seems to differ from 5718, 5076 and 4752 rpm (figure 6).
Freezing seemed to have no effect but this was in fact due to the large variation; it rose mainly from low infestation samples and could be minimized by excluding samples of <3% infestation level. Again a logical explanation to the freezing effect can be found that freezing at -20 C may dislodge the mites in the period before actual freezing occurs (figure 7).
The duration of centrifugation is not critical; even 10 seconds of rotation seems to be enough especially when optimal levels of other factors are chosen. The maximum velocity, causing the highest centrifugal force, was obtained in less than ten seconds. The mites are either dislodged from the bees (e.g. when on top of the bees' thorax) with the maximum centrifugal force, or remain in a safer position between the bees' segments. Since the duration of centrifugation does not increase the force, it is logical that after 10 seconds the duration does not play any significant role.
The qualitative detection efficiency (% detected in infested samples) is 100% for the infestation level above three percent (n=93). Even at one percent infestation level the efficiency is more than 85% (i.e. 13 positive detections out of 15 samples). This decline is due to high fluctuation in detection rate in low infestations. The detection rate (0%-100%) is based on only one mite in the sample. The quantitative detection efficiency (% detected in an infested sample) under optimum conditions was also >90% for the infestation levels above. three percent. while in the ether roll method it is 35% (Herbert et al.1989). Figure 3 shows the general level of the quantitative detection efficiency in relation to frozen and live bees, performed by lowest speeds (5718, 5076 and 4752 rpm) and low detergent concentration. which were less efficient for the detection. Out of nine observations in the category 15-20 mites per 100 bees, five have been performed with the poorest speed (4752 rpm) and time, hence the cause of the declination in the detection efficiency. The true quantitative detection efficiency of the method should be performed with the best speed 6342 rpm and high detergent concentration with frozen and live bees and higher number of observations in each infestation category. In spite of the high accuracy of the proposed method, nevertheless, as in ether roll method or brood method, subsampling of a colony is a limiting factor in low infestation levels. On the other hand, infestation levels under 3% may not be critical. The speed of 6342 rpm along with the higher concentration of the detergent solution was the most effective in mite detection. However, operating at 6342 rpm was difficult with the prototype device as the lid was not securely locked and had to be held by hand. Hence most of the experiments were conducted at velocities of 5718, 5076 and 4752 rpm. A preliminary research at 7272 rpm was examined and rejected since the excrement of bees necessitated filtration of the liquid to view the mites.
Non-flammability and low costs were advantages of the detergent solution over other methods (e.g. ether roll method, shaking methods). Mites were counted on the bottom of the transparent rotational chamber. Unlike the hand-shaking method where foam disturbed the operation (De Jong et a1.1982) in mechanical centrifuging, no annoying foam exists. A preliminary observation using the hand-shaking method, produced foam which hid and prevented mites from sinking. Often mites were encountered on bees after removing the bees from the rotational chamber.
The high efficiency of this method with its ten seconds of processing time suggest that it may serve as a better laboratory method for varroa detection. It is easy to apply at the apiary or laboratory, especially in the spring time when bees are vulnerable to sampling. It is not necessary to examine the bees immediately like in the ether roll method (USDA 1987) and the efficiency of the stored sample in the freezer is even higher. The impact of immediate freezing on mite detection still needs research, if of interest.
In this method with the low detergent concentration, even after 60 seconds of rotation, more than half of the bees will revive if placed in the sunshine or a warm place. It may be better to rinse the bees with water and place them in a dry warm place. This is true for mites as well, so be careful not to replace them in the colony.
I dedicate this Finnish invention to beekeepers and apiary inspectors and encourage mass production of the device and will answer all communication if more information is required. Farmcomp Ltd. in Espoo, Finland is a potential producer of the device and able to produce a few hand made devices at high costs or volume production if needed. However, as the device works with the car battery, its use is limited for the apiaries that are near a road. I hope other manufacturers can solve this problem by using rechargeable batteries or extension cords, even though this is not essential.

text: LISTENING Managers and employees use their listening skills to increase productivity and profit, build employee morale, mainstream business procedures and practices, meet changing consumer needs, and improve customer relations. Hearing is the involuntary physiological process of receiving sound waves through receptors in the ear that transmit them to them to the brain. We automatically sense and receive various sounds, but not consciously aware that you are hearing them. For example, you may hear the hum of your printer without actually listening to it. So, unlike hearing, listening requires intrapersonal focus and message decoding to attach meaning to the messages we hear. Listening is an active process of selecting, attending to, interpreting and remembering sounds. Selecting essentially refers to becoming aware of and choosing a given sound among many competing sounds. Attending involves consciously focusing on sounds because they are interesting, expected, or surprising. Interpreting is the process of decoding sounds to gain understanding and assigning meaning to messages in the context in which they are received. Associating messages with your personal experience or prior knowledge can help you interpret them. Remembering involves the storage of received information in short-long-term memory. We remember information for the purpose of later retrieval and use. Active Listening- This is an intrapersonal and interactive process in which we actively focus on, interpret and respond verbally and nonverbally to messages. The most significant aspect of active listening is vigorous participation by the listener, demonstrated by his or her full concentration on the message and thoughtful and appropriate feedback to the speaker. Active listening provides the foundation for other types of listening such as learning, critiquing what is heard, providing sensitivity. Critical Listening- involves making assessments and decisions about what you hear. Assume one of your job responsibilities is to hire new employees for the company. To accomplish this task, you will need to review numerous resumes and select certain applicants to interview. During the interview process, you will need to seek information and critically evaluate the responses you receive. Your critical listening skills will help you determine the suitability of each applicant's professional experience and his or her ability to work well with other employees in your company. DIALOGUE LISTENING Dialogue Listening- is used to identify, share and explore other people's meaning and perspectives in an open group dialogue. This type of listening is not self-focused or other focused. It is usfocused communication because it is co- created and collaboratively developed by all the participants. Dialogue listening is like a brainstorming session in that the ideas of all the participants are encouraged. It is also like sensitive listening in that those ideas are not judged or negated. DIALOGUE LISTENING However (unlike sensitive listening), dialogue listening includes and focuses on all the people in the interaction. Dialogue listening is an especially effective tool for business professionals since it combines active listening skills such as learning and sensitivity. Situations that involve conflict or problem identification, idea generation, change initiatives and strategy sessions can all be enhanced through dialogue listening. PASSIVE LISTENING Passive Listening- is the absorption of sounds without the personal involvement necessary for active attention, interpretation, or feedback . The difference between passive listening and not listening is that when you listen passively, you listen for enjoyment. CASUAL LISTENING Casual Listening-Informal casual listening involves both conversational interaction and polite acknowledgement of the speaker's social message. Conversational casual listening is interpersonal listening that occurs among two or more people in a social setting. However, conversational listening does not necessarily require effective listening because listeners may elect not to concentrate on or respond to all the messages they hear while in social groups. Polite casual listening is passive because the listener may not be interested in the topic and does not participate in the interaction. BENEFITS TO LISTENING Much of the data necessary for decision making comes through listening to employees, and poor listeners miss important information. Listening makes a person more dependable. People who listen well follow directions better, make fewer errors, say foolish things less often and generally become the kinds of people others will ask for advice or direction. Good listeners are more respected and liked by those they work with. Managers who listen compliment those they listen to, in effect telling them they are worthy people. This trait can lead to harmonious labour relations since employees generally trust and support managers who "listen them out." Better listening enables a manager to be better informed overall. BARRIERS TO LISTENING A lack of motivation is also another barrier to listening. Many people find maintaining the continuous motivation required for listening to be a challenge. People speak approximately 25 percent as fast as they would think. This barrier is known as the 25-75 problem. As a result, instead of listening carefully, some people think about other things and devote only a fraction of their capacity to taking in what is said. They become impatient with the slow rate of the spoken word and begin to think about topics other than the words being spoken; consequently, our inability to speak more rapidly becomes a physical barrier in listening situations. Lack of willingness. A manager may not want to listen. If a person consciously or unconsciously decides not to listen, listening skills are of no advantage. Why would a manager lack the willingness to listen? People would rather talk than listen; and even when they ask a question, they often interrupt the first sentence of the response. The listener may quickly stereotype the speaker as one who has little to contribute and is not worth listening to. A listener may lack willingness because she may not want to receive negative information. For the speaker who brings 'bad tidings,' what incentive is there to listen? Defensive behaviour works against listening. Some mangers consider the slightest attack on one of their opinions as an attack on them personally; consequently, they will rise to the defence. This defence often involves verbal attacks that preclude the possibility for listening. Internal noise. Our autonomic nervous system involuntarily pays attention to certain events such as a headache, sore feet or an empty stomach. It is difficult to divide attention between these involuntary distractions and concentrated listening. External noise. Environmental noise that may compete with the main topic of interest. It is hard to listen to a subordinate who is soft spoken in a noisy foundry or to a phone conversation with a lot of static on the phone line. In these situations, separating the speaker's voice from the surrounding noise can be exhausting. Detouring. The listener may become distracted by a phrase or concept and detour toward the distraction. This distraction then stimulates thought on another subtopic more interesting than the central point of the message; consequently, thoughts detour to the more interesting topics. The debate represents another barrier. A listener may suddenly find herself disagreeing with the speaker and begin to plan her rebuttal, she blocks out the speaker and misses his message. Time. "I just don't have time to listen to this" is a common reaction for managers. Time seems to drag when people have to listen to something to which they have no interest. When listening appears to take too much time, managers tend to stop listening. One way some terminate listening is by making a hasty conclusion. This time pressure may lead to the tendency to judge, evaluate, approve, or disapprove a person's statement too hastily. Message Noise. Messages that are perceived as uninteresting or challenging can dispose some listeners to tune out, because the information seems too boring or complex. Emotionally charged words or messages can interfere with listening because the listeners focus on the emotions. For example, a witness who becomes emotional during a trial can distract the jury from the message conveyed. Preconceived ideas and prejudices about a given topic can generate listening resistance if the message contradicts what the listener believes. DEVELOPING A LISTENING ENVIRONMENT Managers must build a climate that demonstrates receptivity. Managers need to develop a listening climate to motivate people to open up. Two levels of the listening climate require attention. The first is the micro level or the one-on-one situation. The second level is the macro or total climate. Micro Listening climate- Demonstrating a positive climate is most important when a manager is involved in empathetic listening. Most people have a very difficult time expressing their feelings, so an encouraging, supportive, receptive climate needs to be established. Managerial strategies include maintaining eye contact, leaning slightly toward the speaker, changing facial expression in relationship to the message and taking notes. All these behaviours demonstrate a positive listening climate. Macro Listening Environment- This is demonstrated by the manager's demeanor and style. For instance, much has been said about managing by wandering around. When managers are physically available and are not locked away behind closed office doors, they create an atmosphere that says, "I am here to listen to you." Another technique is to have informal meetings; 'huddles' or spontaneous gatherings of a few people to discuss a problem indicate the manager wants and needs to listen to employees' ideas. Another technique is to keep official titles and symbols of authority to a minimum. People are more willing to talk when they don't feel inferior to another. In some contemporary organizations, job titles have not only disappeared from office doors, but they also have been deleted from business cards. The implication is that everybody works together- communicates together- to get the job done. NON VERBAL COMMUNICATION Nonverbal communication refers to body movements or vocal variations that communicate without words. Non verbal behavior manages and regulates conversation, displays emotions and feelings, provides feedback and influences others. nonverbal behaviours can also communicate to customers. TYPES OF NON-VERBAL COMMUNICATION Kinesic behaviours are the movements we use to communicate. Kinesic behaviours, such as leaning or pressing your index finger to your lips to signal others to be quiet, can regulate conversation. They can also help us illustrate our verbal points, reduce anxiety and express emotion. Eye behaviour can certainly communicate emotions, but it can also facilitate and regulate conversation and monitor others' reactions. Imagine that you are at a department meeting during which you are scheduled to present report findings. The department director looks directly at you to signal that it is time for your presentation. While you are presenting, you notice the gaze of your colleagues and determine their level of interest or attention to your message. From a cultural perspective, direct eye contact is important in North America because it can signal interest. But in Japan and some Eastern cultures, direct eye contact can signal aggressiveness, disrespect or even an invasion of privacy. Paralanguage, also referred to as vocalic, involves vocal sounds other than words. Paralanguage is about how you say something rather than what the words mean. In our interactions with others, vocal pitch (highness or lowness of tone), speech rate (speed), volume (loudness) and rhythm (timing and emphasis) can express a variety of meanings. Suppose that when you present your report to the members of your department, your speech is hesitant, your rate of speech is slow, and you repeatedly use vocal interferences such as "um", "er", "uh", and "like", "you know" to fill some of the dead air. Your colleagues may interpret this paralanguage as insecurity or limited knowledge of the subject matter. The study of how people use and perceive time is known as chronemics. Time is of great importance in North American culture. In the United States, time equals money, so the focus is on adherence to deadlines, schedules, promptness and alacrity when making points, all facets of monochronic time. From a monochronic time perspective, arriving ten minutes late to a job interview may convey a message to the employer that the applicant is unreliable or uninterested and may cost the company valuable time. It is not unusual in the United States and England for business meetings to begin exactly at the scheduled time. In Eastern Asia, 20 to 30 minutes early is common. By contrast, in many Latin American and Middle Eastern cultures the focus is on interpersonal relationships and a perception that everything has its own time. In this polychronic time orientation, schedules are not strictly observed and expectations about arrival and departure time are less rigid. Being 20- 30 minutes late is acceptable because the pace is more relaxed. Proxemics is the study of our use of space and distance. The distance we put between ourselves and others also reflects feeling and attitudes and thus it affects communication. For example, distance can reflect the attitude of the person who does the positioning. Research shows that a person who expects an unpleasant message or views the speaker as unfriendly takes a more distant position than does someone expecting good news or viewing the speaker as friendly. An observant communicator can thus use the distance others choose with respect to him or her as a basis for hunches about their feelings. Interpersonal distance is another nonverbal indicator of power. One unspoken cultural rule is that the person with higher status generally controls the degree of approach. This principle of distance explains why subordinates rarely question the boss's right to drop in to their work area without invitation but are reluctant to approach their superior's office even when told the door is always open. Touching behaviour is known as haptics. Nonverbal touching can communicate a variety of messages, including a formal greeting. Most business touching consists of formal handshakes, informal pats on the back and the occasional arm touch when addressing a co-worker in conversation. Burbinster sees six functions for nonverbal communication. 1. Complementing: nonverbal; signals that complement the verbal message repeat it. Typically, these signals accompany what is being said. For eg., a supervisor welcoming a subordinating back after a lengthy illness might give him a warm handshake to stress how pleased he is at the other's return. 2. Accenting: those nonverbal signals that accent call our attention to a matter being discussed. A common example is a person pounding on a desk as she makes an important point. Contradicting: The nonverbal signs that contradict are less obvious. These are usually sent unintentionally by the subconscious to say nonverbally the opposite of what is being said verbally. Either subtly or obviously, nonverbal cues will often tell the careful observers the truth when the verbal cues don't. Repeating: this occurs when we already have sent a message using one form of communication and wish to emphasize the point being made. For example, a demonstration following a verbal description of a tool's use is a nonverbal repetition. Regulating: this occurs during conversations to signal to our partner to "slow," "stop", and even "wait your turn" and let the other person know that you are ready to listen or to speak. Substituting: when we can't send a message by verbal cues, we might choose to use nonverbal onesespecially emblems, to get the point across to our receiver. A supervisor visiting a loud factory might use the "OK" sign to signal to an employee. From a theoretical perspective, nonverbal communication also serves another important function: communication redundancy. This concept refers to the phenomena built into any language system that combat the effects of noise. It simply means that much of the meaning of a message can be deduced from other elements in the message that have already appeared. The TV show Wheel of Fortune is an example of redundancy in that not every word or letter must be on the game board before one can guess the correct phrase. CONFLICT MANAGEMENT A conflict is an event expressed through communication when individuals or groups behave in ways that indicate they have incompatible positions or goals. A conflict is a process in which people disagree over significant issues, thereby creating friction between parties. BENEFITS OF CONFLICT Conflict generally has a negative connotation; however, conflict is a positive occurrence if managed properly. Conflict requires managers to analyze their goals, it creates dialogue among employees and fosters creative solutions. Conflict also may foster creativity. Conflict helps to overcome individual psychological distortions and biases by forcing people out of their traditional modes of thinking. In this way, conflict promotes the unstructured thinking that some see as required for developing good, novel alternatives to difficult problems. Studies show a higher decision quality when there is open opposition and resistance by subordinates than when the resistance of subordinates is weak or even passive. The middle ground. Some levels of conflict are healthy, others are not. Moderate levels of conflict stimulate creative decision making and prevent apathy. Very low conflict levels lead to complacency and stagnation. Extreme levels, especially if it is based on individual rather than organizational goals, are detrimental to the organization, causing dysfunctional behaviour. The level and type of conflict determine whether it is beneficial or detrimental to the organization. CONSEQUENCES OF CONFLICT. Individuals, teams, or departments that are in conflict and competition may lose sight of the common goal and focus on winning at any cost. They withhold important information and resources from one another and sabotage one another's work. Distorted judgements lead to lack of cooperation and even more conflict. When we conflict with another person or group, we tend to perceive them negatively, describe them by using unflattering stereotypes and pay attention only to negative information. When conflict leads to winners and losers, losers are demoralized and demotivated. This loser effect harms long term relationships and overall organizational performance. TYPES AND LEVELS OF CONFLICT Intrapersonal conflict is a personal internal conflict. It occurs because one's goals, values, or roles diverge. Interpersonal conflict. Refers to conflict that arises because two or more people who are required to interact have different goals, values or styles. This type of conflict can be problematic for managers because such conflict typically revolves around personal differences rather than organizational goals, the potential negative impact is high. Intragroup conflict refers to conflict within a work group over goals and work procedures. This type of conflict can be extremely detrimental to group cohesion. The conflict may occur because members disagree about goals, procedures, and norms, or how to handle deviants. Some intragroup conflict is healthy, but when it is intense, unresolved and unmanaged, intragroup conflict eventually interferes with a group's ability to function effectively. Intergroup conflict occurs when groups within and outside an organization disagree on issues. Intergroup conflict is usually about broad organizational issues such as resource allocation, access to information, and system related processes. APPROACHES TO CONFLICT When faced with a conflict, you have several choices about how to respond. Each of these approaches has different results. Avoiding (lose-lose situation). One way to deal with conflict is to avoid it whenever possible and withdraw when confronted. In some cases avoidance is physical; refusing to take phone calls, staying barricaded in the office, and so on. In other cases, however, avoidance can be psychological: denying that a problem exists or that it is serious, repressing emotional reactions, and so on. Avoidance might have its short term benefits of preventing a confrontation, but there are usually long term costs, especially in ongoing relationships. Despite its drawbacks, avoidance is sometimes a wise choice. Accommodating (win-win situation). Whereas avoiders stay away from conflicts, accommodators give ground as a way of maintaining harmony. In many cases, accommodating is hard to defend. It can be equivalent to appeasement, sacrificing one's principles, and putting harmony above dealing with important issues. Despite the drawbacks of accommodating, this approach does have merit in some circumstances. IF you are clearly wrong, then giving up your original position can be a sign of strength, not weakness. If harmony is more important than the issue at hand- especially if the issue is a minor one- then accommodating is probably justified. Competing (win-lose situation) is based on the assumption that the only way for one party to reach its goals is to overcome the other. Choosing a competitive style means that a person is putting his/her interest before anyone else's interests. Collaborating means working together to resolve conflicts. This is based on the assumption that it is possible to meet one's own needs and those of the other person. Compromising occurs when each party sacrifices something that he or she sought to gain in an agreement. People who compromise are likely to say "let's split the difference" or "something is better than nothing. HOW TO MANAGE AND RESOLVE CONFLICT SITUATIONS Collective bargaining. Especially in workplace situations, it is necessary to have agreed mechanisms in place for groups of people who may be antagonistic (e.g. management and workers) to collectively discuss and resolve issues. This process is often called "collective bargaining", because representatives of each group come together with a mandate to work out a solution collectively. Experience has shown that this is far better than avoidance or withdrawal, and puts democratic processes in place to achieve "integrative problem solving", where people or groups who must find ways of co-operating in the same organization, do so within their own agreed rules and procedures. Conciliation. The dictionary defines conciliation as "the act of procuring good will or inducing a friendly feeling". South African labour relations legislation provides for the process of conciliation in the workplace, whereby groups who are in conflict and who have failed to reach agreement, can come together once again to attempt to settle their differences. This is usually attempted before the more serious step of a strike by workers or a lock-out by management is taken; and it has been found useful to involve a facilitator in the conciliation process. Similarly, any other organisation (e.g. sports club, youth group or community organisation) could try conciliation as a first step. THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN NEGOTIATION, MEDIATION, AND ARBITRATION Three methods of resolving situations that have reached the stage of open conflict are often used by many different organizations. It is important to understand these methods, so that people can decide which methods will work best for them in their specific conflict situation: Negotiation: this is the process where mandated representatives of groups in a conflict situation meet together in order to resolve their differences and to reach agreement. It is a deliberate process, conducted by representatives of groups, designed to reconcile differences and to reach agreements by consensus. The outcome is often dependent on the power relationship between the groups. Negotiations often involve compromise one group may win one of their demands and give in on another. In workplaces Unions and management representative usually sue negotiations to solve conflicts. Political and community groups also often use this method. Mediation: when negotiations fail or get stuck, parties often call in and independent mediator. This person or group will try to facilitate settlement of the conflict. The mediator plays an active part in the process, advises both or all groups, acts as intermediary and suggests possible solutions. In contrast to arbitration (see below) mediators act only in an advisory capacity - they have no decision-making powers and cannot impose a settlement on the conflicting parties. Skilled mediators are able to gain trust and confidence from the conflicting groups or individuals. Arbitration: means the appointment of an independent person to act as an adjudicator (or judge) in a dispute, to decide on the terms of a settlement. Both parties in a conflict have to agree about who the arbitrator should be, and that the decision of the arbitrator will be binding on them all. Arbitration differs from mediation and negotiation in that it does not promote the continuation of collective bargaining: the arbitrator listens to and investigates the demands and counter-demands and takes over the role of decision-maker. People or organizations can agree on having either a single arbitrator or a panel of arbitrators whom they respect and whose decision they will accept as final, in order to resolve the conflict. MANAGERIAL COMMUNICATION Negotiation is the process by which two or more parties reach a mutually agreeable arrangement to exchange goods and services. It is one of the most commonly used, beneficial skills managers can develop. The global business environment, the diverse workforce, rapid pace of change, and shift towards teams and empowerment require managers to hone their negotiation skills.

Another Recycled Q&A of Harry's
Expand Messages
- This same Jan., 2009 Letter of Light
Q&A is repeated in the June, 2009
The Mystic World!
I wonder why Klemp didn't do a "contrast"
between his "earlier" years in ECK and the
time he received his 10th Initiation circa
July, 1981 [by Darwin (Dap Ren) the Inner
Master] as the questioner wanted?
How about a "contrast" between HK's "earlier"
years 1967, 1968, 1969 (playing ping-pong
and milking cows) prior to his 1970 "God-Realization
experience" (the bridge jump, strip tease
at an airport, and being confined to a mental
institution), and his one month stint as a 10th
prometheus wrote:
Youth in ECK - Letter of Light - Jan. 2009/
The Mystic World of ECKankar - June, 2009
Q: 1) "Can you describe what it is like
to be linked up to the Divine Wisdom
Pool at the TENTH INITIATION, as is
spoken of in The Shariyat-Ki-Sugmad?
2) Can you contrast between being within
that state and earlier in your years in ECK
before your experience of God Consciousness
on The Bridge?" Kevin, age 23
ME: It's strange that this person wants to
know about what the "contrast" would have
been like for Klemp prior to his "God Realization"
and the "experience" of the 10th. No wonder
Klemp avoided answering this!
In regard to the Tenth Initiation: Klemp
received the 8th in May/June, 1980; the 9th
in June, 1981; the 10th circa July, 1981; the
11th circa Aug. 1981; the 12 in October of
1981. That's not much time to even really
"know" the 9th, 10th, or the 11th! ["Soul
Travelers of the Far Country," CH. 7]
BTW-I would think that the 11th is more
important than the 10th! It is mentioned
in the Shariyat that the 11th is a special
mile stone and is very important! Why doesn't
HK set the record straight on this point? Did
he forget?
As to "the bridge" incident... HK's "God-Realization
experience" was just a cover story to hide
Klemp's embarrassment and long term mental
imbalance. Klemp's desire to climb the initiation
ladder along with his delusional thinking and
narcissism took a negative KAL experience and
recreated it to look like a divine ECKie experience.
HK: "Dear Kevin, Yours is quite an important
question. Let me don my thinking cap and
see what comes of it."
ME: Actually, there were TWO very different
questions. But, for Klemp to "don his thinking
cap" and "see what comes of it" sounds like he's
going to come up with another imagined Mental
Plane story. The ALL KNOWING Mahanta should
"Know" and Not have to "don his thinking cap"
in order to "see what comes of it!" One doesn't
have to "think" about what sounds good, they
just know and recall the subjective experience.
HK: "When an individual first undertakes
a serious study of the ECK teachings, it is
with a view of coming into a more harmonious
relationship with the divine will. Each initiation
along the way results in more love flowing into
one's heart. As divine love grows, so also does
wisdom. They go hand in hand."
ME: Why wasn't "Divine Will" in caps? More narcissism?
Yes, when one "first" undertakes the EK teachings
there is more innocence and ignorance of the fact
that "INITIATIONS" are what really matter. And,
this "heart" thing... that refers to the Heart Chakra.
Why isn't "Divine Love" in caps either?
HK: "The Tenth Initiation does, however, indicate
a real turning point. For that level marks the place
where true Mastership begins and the threshold
phase of the Ninth Initiation leaves off."
ME: How would Klemp "know" all that much about
the 9th, let alone the 10th, or the 11th Initiations
since they all took place from June to October in
1981! How long does it take for someone to get
use to the 5th? They aren't even allowed to become
an EK Cleric, now, for two years or more after getting
the 5th!
HK: "After the Ninth, I MORE or LESS stopped
inadvertently hurting people."
ME: "Inadvertently, more or less?" What's that mean?
It means Klemp intentionally hurt people, "after the Ninth,"
but now he controls his anger more and, now, only hurts
people accidently, unintentionally and "inadvertently!"
HK: "The Tenth is where the will of the Divine reigns
supreme. This simply means that the initiate's will
is in complete accord with the Sugmad and the ECK."
ME: Why is it that Sugmad resides on the Tenth Plane
when there are Planes higher? It's because Twitch
added these other Planes when he created the Mahanta
title for the Jan. 1969 Wisdom Notes.
HK: "Henceforth, all thoughts and feelings are perfectly
inspired by God's love. Every deed, then, is the product
of that love. It is, moreover, the expressing of pure wisdom,
where even the HUMBLEST action accomplishes Some spiritual
GOOD, everywhere and all the time. Your attention is certainly
in the right direction, Kevin. I hope this answer helps."
ME: Klemp never gives a direct answer does he! Anyone
could have made this up. Just read the EK brochures!
And, Klemp never did comment about "the Bridge"
It's interesting how Klemp relates Mental Plane "thoughts"
and Astral Plane "feelings" to the TENTH Plane (the Anami
Lok) where Sugmad resides. "Every deed is the product of
love" should apply to a 12th Initiate, as well, due to "as above
so below." Thus, "every deed" of Darwin's was, also, "the
product of love." Yet, we see how Klemp, as a 12th LEM,
continued to "inadvertently," or intentionally, "hurt" Darwin.
And notice how Klemp, indirectly, refers to his humility.
How vain! Klemp wants his believers to Feel Good and to
give them hope that they too can become TENTH Initiates.
But, not in this lifetime! That's only a pipe dream. How can
that ever happen? Klemp has "slowed down" initiations
for everyone! Anyway, the bullshit got rather deep once
again! Basically, if someone has a question for Klemp it's
best to just grab the most current EK brochure and there's
your answer!

Adirondack Fishing Inc
Place Category: Charter Fishing Boat
Come and fish with us on some of the Adirondack's most picturesque lakes. Here you will find several species of both warm and cold water game fish including brown, rainbow and lake trout, northern pike, landlocked salmon, small and large mouth bass. From novice to experienced angler, whether it be casting, trolling or fly fishing, we have a trip for you. We fish April through December weather permitting.
October 26 update
The smallmouth and pike fishing is in full swing now as the water temp. is in the high 40's. Working shoals and around islands with deep divers is the ticket as usual in the fall. The bass and pike really have the feed bag on NOW. Trout fishing is just as good as the lakes have turned over and everything is stable top to bottom for the most part. If it is calm, wobblers and worms are the ticket. Then once the breeze picks up it's over to a few different color F5 Rapalas. I'm hoping the lakes stay open into December this year but you never know what nature has in store for us so give it a try before ice comes. See you soon!
Russell Trieller is a New York State licensed fishing guide who has been fishing the Adirondacks and the Saint Lawrence river since 1989. He fishes the Lake Placid, Saranac Lake and Paul Smiths areas for whichever species you may want. Whether it is cold water species, such as trout or salmon, or warm water species, such as northern pike or bass, he can bring you to them. Several local lakes contain both types of fish and are a favorite because they afford the angler an opportunity to fish for several kinds of fish in one trip. If you are staying at White Pine Camp and would like to see what Osgood pond has to offer we pick you up right at the boathouse dock. Bald Eagles, Ospreys, Kingfishers and many other species of birds are always around on all of the lakes we fish to add to your day on the water. All fishing is done from our 16 foot Lund which provides a safe and comfortable fishing platform. The boat is equipped with two Cannon downriggers for trolling baits deep in open water. Casting the shoreline for bass and pike is done with the aid of a Minn Kota electric trolling motor. So whether the fish are in the wood, the weeds or suspended in open water we are prepared.
Standard trips
The rate for a standard day trips is $40.00 per hour for one person, and $60.00 per hour for two. Trips are either 4, 6 or 8 hours in duration. There is a 50% deposit required for all trips booked. If a trip is cancelled BY US due to weather (high winds or lightning) or other unforseen circumstances you will have the option of rescheduling your trip or having your deposit refunded. There is a 2 person limit on all trips for safety reasons.
Night Trout
During the summer months we offer something different, a night trip. These trips are shorter, 3 hours in duration, from 8:30 pm to 11:30 PM. They are generally very productive for browns, rainbows and the occasional landlocked salmon. The rate for this trip is $125.00 per person. A flat, calm Adirondack lake on a summer evening is therapy in itself!

Health Standards Inspector
Definition - What does Health Standards Inspector mean?
Safeopedia explains Health Standards Inspector
A health standards inspector often works for government agencies at the federal, state, or local level. The health standards inspector can also represent private business compliance interests. This inspector will be responsible for examining facilities open to the public, such as hotels, restaurants, swimming pools and fitness centers. The inspector would also spend time with commercial businesses responsible for a nation's food supply. Inspection activities can include taking product, freezer and refrigerator temperatures, looking for signs of the presence of pests, confirming proper permitting, and observing employee work practices. The role of the health standards inspector is to protect the interest of public health and to prevent the spread of illness or disease. A health standards inspector working in private industry is tasked with ensuring that their employer is protecting the interests of public health and therefore limiting liability to fines, penalties, or lawsuits resulting from the outbreak of food borne illnesses.

Thanks - I knew about the destruction giving access to the tooth but why does sugar make the nerve hurt? if I put sugar on a cut in the skin where there are nerves it doesn't hurt any more than otherwise.
Thanks. Also, how can a tooth ache if it has had a root canal procedure? - apart from problems with bite? Can a microscopic crack make it ache, even if it has no nerve? And when a root canal is being done, can thye drill make microscopic cracks?
That does give me something to counter the dentist's claim that there can't be any ache because he's done root canals on all the roots.

The Number Two Review on Movie House Memories
About This Show

Show Info: The world's greatest podcast for the world's worst films.
Warner Bros. Pictures released Wild Wild West to theaters on June 30, 1999; grossing $221.2 million worldwide. Barry Sonnenfeld directed the steampunk western which starred Will Smith, Kevin Kline, and Kenneth Branagh. Wild Wild West 30-Second Summary U.S. Army Captain James West, who tends to solve problems with force, and U.S. Marshal Artemus Gordo, who tries to solve problems with his inventions and ingenuity, both hunt for Confederate General "Bloodbath" McGrath. They believe he was responsible for a massacre of former slaves. In a brothel featuring one of many drag scenes the two realize they are both hunting McGrath. Eventually, the two reluctantly work together to solve the mystery of the massacre. They soon find out that Dr Arliss Loveless, an ex-Confederate mad scientist in a steam-punk wheelchair, is their real enemy. While at a ball thrown by Arliss, they meet the film's love interest, Rita Escobar, and rescue her. After many bad jokes about slavery, the group escapes. Arliss uses McGrath's troops to test a tank-like weapon, and has them massacred. McGrath is close to death, and he informs West that Arliss was responsible for the massacre that killed his parents; not him. The group tries to find Arliss, but he ends up chasing them on railroad tracks. Eventually, he does capture them, and then he makes his plan known to have the US surrender to his cabal. Spiders, including costume and set choices strangely facinate Arliss. At the appropriate time, he reveals a giant steam powered mechanized tarantula/weapon which he then marches to President Grant's location in Utah. He takes him, as well as Gordon, who is disguised as Grant. On of Arliss' female minions shoots West, and appears to be dead. He isn't, of course. Gordon and West build a flying machine to take on the spider as Loveless attacks a town. They are able to board the spider and defeat Arliss. Grant promotes Gordon and West to the first two secret service positions in history. Gordon and West want to talk up Rita again, but she reveals her 'father' she was looking for the whole time was actually her husband, and she was just using the two of them. Bitc
