RecycleBank and eBay Use Carrot Instead of Stick to Encourage Recycling
Published: February 4, 2010
In most cases, we use threats to force people to recycle--witness San Francisco's controversial new mandatory composting law that slaps a fine on anyone who fails to comply. But what if it was possible to get people to recycle by offering incentives instead? It is--and RecycleBank has been doing it for 18 months by offering residents of participating cities points that can be redeemed at stores--all for recycling regular trash. Up until now, only residents of cities partnered with RecycleBank could join in, but a new partnership with eBay means that anyone can get involved.
As part of the deal, RecycleBank is opening its membership to anyone with a few minutes to sign up. And points can now be earned and redeemed on eBay. "Right now we're in the initial stages," explained Amy Szoczlas Cole, the Director of eBay's Green Team. "Each person could earn 50 RecycleBank points for simply committing to join the eBay Green Team." Those points can then be used towards the purchase of, say, a used leather handbag on eBay--or for an item at one of the other 1,500 businesses affiliated with RecycleBank.
Bottom of Form
The partnership makes sense, since both RecycleBank and eBay specialize in preventing used items from facing the trash bin. Perhaps a partnership with Etsy is next?

NEW YORK (AP) A.J. Burnett (FSY) stood smiling in front of his locker Friday night, allowing himself the luxury of imaging what could have been if a wicked thunderstorm hadn't curtailed his fine outing.
That's the Burnett the Yankees hope to see on a more consistent basis.
The tempestuous right-hander bounced back from a horrible start cut short by a self-inflicted injury to pitch five scoreless innings, Robinson Cano (FSY) hit a three-run double and the New York Yankees beat the Kansas City Royals 7-1.
BOX SCORE: Yankees 7, Royals 1
"I just focused more on what I had to do in my job," Burnett said. "When I do that I'm good."
So good that he happily sat on the bench when played resumed after a 1-hour, 25-minute rain delay — a marked difference from his last outing. A week ago, he waited in his manager's office to explain why he had lacerations on both hands.
"I felt like I was locked in. I still had a lot of energy," he said. "I wasn't going to sit around in here. I was going to go out and watch. You have to watch everything around here because you might miss something."
The game was halted with two outs in the bottom of the fifth inning, when a deluge of rain made visibility difficult at Yankee Stadium. Spectacular lightning drew more "oohs" than each swing by Alex Rodriguez (FSY), who was 2-for-4 in his first game since hitting his 599th home run Thursday night.
RODRIGUEZ: One away from historic feat
Most of the 46,801 remained after the delay for the chance to see A-Rod go for 600.
As flashes sparkled and fans stood, Rodriguez walked and scored in the first, had an infield single in the third, struck out looking in the fifth, lined a single to left-center in the seventh and grounded to third base in the eighth. The last hit, a sharp drive, drew disappointed sighs.
"I thought his approach was very good," Yankees manager Joe Girardi said. "I didn't necessarily see him pressing tonight."
During a visit to the mound before his at-bat in the seventh inning, home plate umpire Bill Miller gave Rodriguez a glimpse of the specially marked baseballs used for each of his times up.
He'll get his next chance Saturday against Kyle Davies (FSY), the pitcher who gave up homer N0. 500 in August 2007.
The one milestone reached Friday night was by Jorge Posada (FSY). The Yankees catcher drove in his 1,000th run with an RBI double in the first. He had an RBI single in the seventh off Dusty Hughes (FSY).
"RBIs are special," Posada said. "You want to be a run producer."
The delay cut short the outings of Burnett and Royals starter Brian Bannister (FSY).
Burnett (8-8) was starting six days after he cut both hands on a plastic lineup-card holder when he slammed open double doors in the clubhouse out of frustration in the second inning against Tampa Bay. He gave up four runs in two-plus innings last Saturday. He had square Band-Aids on both hands, but he had little trouble with the Royals, baseball's best hitting team by average — .282 coming in.
On Friday, Burnett allowed four hits and was helped by two double plays. One was routine. The other was started by Mark Teixeira's (FSY) nifty diving stop of Alex Gordon's (FSY) sharp grounder near first base. Teixeira stepped on the bag and threw to second where Derek Jeter (FSY) tagged Wilson Betemit (FSY) to end the fourth inning.
Burnett struck out three and walked one.
"He got a lot of grounball outs tonight, which is good," Girardi said. "He was very efficient. Obviously we would've loved to let him go deeper in the game but we had a long rain delay."
Burnett said he begged to go back out there for several minutes but understood the decision.
Victor Marte (FSY) relieved Bannister (7-9), who gave up four runs in the first before settling over 4 2/3 innings. He gave up Brett Gardner's (FSY) two-run single in the sixth.
Chad Gaudin (FSY) took over for Burnett and gave up an RBI double in three innings.
David DeJesus (FSY), who injured his thumb on the play that resulted in an inside-the-park home run for Jeter on Thursday night, will have surgery on Monday and be out at least 10 weeks. Gordon was called up from Class AAA Omaha, where he was converted from a third baseman to outfielder. He started in right field and made an error on his first try.
Gardner hit a line drive that bounced off the fence, and Gordon played the carom cleanly — he practiced that type of play before batting practice — but he bobbled the ball when taking it out of his glove. Gardener was given a double and advanced to third on Gordon's error.
Cano followed with his bases clearing double after Teixeira was hit by a pitch and Rodriguez walked to load the bases.
"I knew it was going to be a circus with A-Rod and the home run thing," Royals starter Brian Bannister said. "I didn't come out and have a good first inning."
NOTES: Yankees RF Nick Swisher (FSY) was a late scratch because of a sore Achilles' heel. ... The Royals said RHP Sean O'Sullivan (FSY) will start Sunday against the Yankees. It will be his second start in less than a week at Yankee Stadium. He gave up two hits and two runs over six innings in a win for the Los Angeles Angels on Tuesday. The Royals sent 3B Albert Callaspo to the Angels in the deal for O'Sullivan.

Chapter 18Mature
Chapter 18
The police and the FBI would expect him to go after a male victim next, thinking that he would follow the exact same pattern. They were wrong. There were only two men that he had disliked, both of whom he had eliminated from his life. Of course he had disliked both for different reasons. Dr Stanley he had despised for his interference in his life and his misguided belief that excersise was a miracle cure for anything that went wrong when it wasn't.
He had felt a profound sense of satisfaction in forcing both Kathleen and Callista to sleep with him before taking their lives. For him it was not about sex or sexual attraction. He had not been attracted to either woman and neither of those women had even been attractive to look at. For him it was a way of punishing them and he had felt a tremendous sense of power and control both in forcing them to do something against their will and in taking their lives at his whim.
Naomi Cheevley was an ordinary, plain woman of medium height, whom most people actively disliked because she was a manipulative scandal maker. She constantly betrayed people, broke confidences, spread gossip and even resorted to blackmail at times though nothing had yet been proven against her. She had a bob of sandy brown hair, hazel eyes and a shapely figure. Naomi often took pride in showing off what she called a special room to people. This room was painted in blues and greens and though nice and relaxing to sit in, naturally no-one opted to sit there, given that the room's owner was so selfish, snobbish and arrogant. So instead her cats, who were about the only living creatures who were unconditionally loyal to her, had the room all to themselves.
Jack gently broke the news to Lauren about he and Tanya being an item. Lauren was very supportive of her dad, and Selina who had long moved on from Jack didn't seem bothered at all. Abi, with her closenesss to Max was less keen on the situation, but was very glad she would now be around her best friend on a regular basis and promised to try to adjust.


text: BILLINGS, Mont., Oct. 3, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- American Eagle Energy Inc. (OTCBB:AMZG; "American Eagle" or the "Company") wishes to provide an operations update on the Company's Spyglass project in North Dakota. The Company's proposed merger with Eternal Energy Corp. is progressing, subject to completing standard regulatory and administrative processes. Activity in American Eagle's Spyglass Project, a Bakken and Three Forks play in Divide County, North Dakota, increased significantly during the third quarter following a number of weather-related delays in the second quarter. The second closing of the previously announced sale of half of the respective working interests in the Spyglass Project by American Eagle and its proposed merger partner Eternal Energy to a third party occurred on August 5, 2011. The second closing involved the sale of an undivided 50% interest in approximately 760 acres for approximately $642,000 that was divided equally between American Eagle and Eternal Energy. American Eagle participated in eight non-operated wells in the project area operated by SM Energy, Samson Resources Company and Crescent Point Energy during the third quarter. Three wells that were pending completion in the Three Forks Formation were stimulated and put on production at average initial flowing rates (14 days) of 514 bopd, 574 bopd and 644 bopd with joint working interests of 3.87%, 0.34% and 4.38%, respectively. The other five wells, two Bakken and three Three Forks, were drilled and are pending completion. Joint working interests in all these wells ranged from approximately 1% to over 6%. Three more outside operated wells are scheduled to be drilled by yearend with American Eagle – Eternal Energy joint working interests ranging from 6.5% to 16%. Based on this projected drilling schedule and similar production results, the companies could show a joint 2011 exit rate of approximately 240 bopd net from the non-operated Spyglass properties. American Eagle and Eternal Energy have secured a drilling rig and expect to begin drilling joint company-operated wells in the Spyglass Project in November, 2011. Efforts to permit three Bakken and four Three Forks wells are underway, such that the first two wells should be drilled before the end of 2011. Joint working interests in these six wells range from 19% to more than 60%. Including land packages purchased in the second quarter of 2011, along with ongoing leasing efforts, total acreage jointly controlled in the project area is approximately 14,700 net acres.

Post-harvest Storage Diseases
Botrytis Neck Rot of Onion
Botrytis neck rot may occur in the bulb if the foliage is still moist when it is cut from the bulb at harvest. The rot moves quickly from the neck region (top) to the center of the bulb, and is active at temperatures of 35°F and above.
In Utah, Botrytis neck rot of onion is caused by the fungi Botrytis aclada and B. allii. The onion bulbs are infected through the neck area during the growing season, but infections are latent, meaning that no visible symptoms occur, and the pathogen remains in the neck area. The fungus is only able to grow into the bulb soon after harvest if the foliage is not allowed to completely dry before it is cut from the bulb.
In optimal harvest practices, onions are undercut when the bulbs are mature and when at least 25% of the crop's foliage has fallen over. The onions are then left in the field to cure until the necks are dry, after which the foliage is removed. If the foliage is cut from the bulb before the neck is dry, the latent Botrytis infection can start to invade the bulb through the soft, juicy neck. Once onion bulbs are placed in storage at temperatures above 35°F, the fungus starts rotting the bulbs from the neck down. Botrytis can sporulate heavily, infecting neighboring bulbs in storage bins. In severe cases, losses to Botrytis neck rot can reach 100%.
Management of Botrytis neck rot starts at harvest. Onions should be undercut when they are fully mature (and the foliage has fallen over) and the necks should be fully dry before cutting the foliage. If this is not an option for weather-related reasons, onions should be stored at 33-34°F to prevent activity of the fungus.
Rhizopus Mold of Winter Squash
Rhizopus mold of winter squash causes a soft rot. The white fluffy mass at the stem is the fungus sporulating.
Rhizopus stolonifer is a mold fungus that is ubiquitous: in the air, soil, and on plant material. If fruits or vegetables are damaged in the field by insects, hail, blowing sand, or strong winds, the fungus can invade the tissue through even the tiniest wounds, causing a soft rot. After infection, the fungus produces abundant spores within a few days. In storage, the spores are released and can infect nearby fruit. Under favorable conditions, the time from infection of the fruit to a complete soft rot is about 4 to 5 days.
Damaged fruit will not hold up in storage. The fungus sporulates at temperatures above 46°F, but temperatures below 50°F injure squash fruit. The best management tool is to prevent damage to the fruit in the field by harvesting carefully and avoiding insect damage. If strong winds or even hail damage fruit, it may be best to use the squash that is salvageable as quickly as possible and not keep it in storage.

How to be an entrepreneur in India's booming luxury industry
There's a lot more that entrepreneurs can look at in India's luxury market than just fashion. Luxury Connect Business School CEO Abhay Gupta gets you a guide of the how and why of luxury entrepreneurship.
The word entrepreneur originates from the French word, entreprendre, which means "to undertake." In a business context, it means to start a business. The Merriam-Webster Dictionary presents the definition of an entrepreneur as one who organises, manages, and assumes the risks of a business or enterprise.
What is entrepreneurship?
A business model in which you create your own business entity and perhaps hire a few people is entrepreneurship. Over and above all, entrepreneurship is a mindset which makes you think beyond the normal. A craving, a desire and an ambition to break past the set norm and create a unique identity for oneself and his enterprise. Entrepreneurship is also a process of new venture creation.
Who is an entrepreneur?
- -'An entrepreneur is someone who organises, manages and assumes the risk of a business entity, enterprise and or identity in either goods or services sector'.
- -'Entrepreneurs are people that notice opportunities and take the initiative to mobilize resources to make new goods and services.'
- -"One who undertakes innovations, finance and business acumen in an effort to transform innovations into economic goods".
What are the typical qualities of an entrepreneur?
- -A tendency to break away from the regular and be different.
- -Spot the needs / problems / challenges and convert them into opportunities for success by being solution oriented.
- -A determined mindset to innovate, create value and be continuously growth oriented.
- -An Original thinker.
- -A Risk taker.
- -Takes responsibility for own actions
- -Feels competent, confident and capable
- -Sets high goals and enjoys working toward them even with high personal sacrifices
What is Luxury?
Luxury is often a misused term in today's world! Almost everyone and everything claims to be 'Luxury'. So what really is the meaning of 'Luxury'?
If one tries to Google the word luxury, one is thrown up with innumerable meanings in a split second! This only means that 'Luxury is relative & subjective' – meaning 'to each his own'.
In the words of the famous Coco Chanel, 'Luxury begins where necessity ends'.
We can, thus, summarise that luxury is much beyond need – it is a desire that fuels our emotional appeal. Something which defines our social status to others besides just providing us material comfort, great quality, unquestionable functional benefits and makes us feel a part of a social set normally called 'The Elite'.
So what then is Luxury Entrepreneurship?
Someone who has a burning desire to create a business venture or a product or a service which services this sector directly or indirectly is a luxury entrepreneur. An individual with an uncanny eye for detail and excellent customer service can be a successful luxury entrepreneur.
What are the sectors one could explore within the Luxury domain?
Unfortunately, most people link and restrict luxury to fashion and ramp shows due to the glamour attached. There is no doubt that fashion is an essential part of luxury and is in every way the fulcrum point, but luxury extends way beyond fashion, giving an entrepreneur options to choose from areas like jewellery, watches, fitness & wellness, beauty and skin care, real estate, home and interior, aviation, yachting, automobiles to also travel, tourism, hospitality and events etc. Luxury is a complete lifestyle and defines the usage pattern of the affluent class.
If one is a fashion designer, or has an inclination to be a beautician, traditional jeweller, boutique owner, travel service provider or even a wedding planner, it is possible for them to position themselves in this niche space.
Another area is luxury education. Worldwide, there are very few schools that provide this sector of highly specialised education. We at LCBS are one such school with a clear well defined focus on luxury education as a niche area. The scope for such schools is clearly very high since as per an NSDC report, close to 5 million people are going to be required to service this sector by 2022. As a new business opportunity, this is a great investment direction for upcoming edupreneurs.
What are the Growth opportunities in the Luxury sector?
Luxury in India has been growing continuously at a pace of 20-25 per cent per annum for the past several years. Currently at about US$ 18.5 billion, it is expected to touch US$ 50 billion by 2020 and $180 billion by 2025. (as quoted by Niti Ayog CEO Amitabh Kant in February 2016). The 'Make in India' movement is expected to fuel the domestic design industry towards this sector. Recent success of young Indian designers is a case in example of this rising phenomena.
How is Luxury Entrepreneurship different and how can one become one?
In the luxury space, the depth of the vision, the originality of the creative designer, the brand building process, the marketing & communication as well as the customer service orientation is completely of a different level. The aura of the brand, the magic around the intangibles, the romance & mystics behind the product which is accentuated by the impeccable service play the key role.
Let us say that the basics remain the same, but the treatment is entirely different.
The best way of course is to undertake a short course on 'Luxury Entrepreneurship' to clear up ones concept and knowledge of this sector and study in depth the nuances involved in handling such a business
Then on, if one is a creative person he can begin on his own. If one is a moneyed person, he can have his idea developed by a creative team. Alternately, there is a plethora of national & international luxury brands across sectors that are keen to reach out to the Indian luxury consumer and the fast growing market here. One is open to explore franchise opportunities with them.

This review is from: DVI DVI-D Dual Link Male To VGA Adapter For HDTV LCD
Pros: Does what it is made for
Cons: None
Other Thoughts: I was confused about some three-monitor setup restrictions with one graphics card.
I have an HIS Radeon HD6950. This card has output of DVI-I, DVI-D Dual Link, HDMI, and 2 mini-DP ports. I have an extra VGA cable, and the DVI-I and HDMI are currently used, so I purchased this specific adapter to use for the DVI-D Dual Link adapter.
IMPORTANT: DVI-D Dual Link only ports will NOT accept an analog signal adapted without an ACTIVE adapter. This is because it needs to convert the signal a bit before it reaches the graphics card so it works properly.
So, what happens is, it all connects but it acts like the third one cable isn't connected because it won't read the data.
Someone in the "Leo the Tech Guy" chatroom assisted me and what I wound up able to do was this. Instead of having to get another graphics card for the third monitor, I had to use the mini-DP ports. I only have HDMI and VGA in from the monitors, so I bought (from newegg) the HIS Model HMDPHDMIA Mini DisplayPort to HDMI Adapter. This allows me to use the mini-DP port and an HDMI cable to the monitor.
This review is from: Acer S Series S230HL Abd Black 23" 5ms Widescreen LED Backlight LCD Monitor 250 cd/m2 100,000,000:1
Pros: Thin, Lightweight, and Great resolution with good viewing angle as well. I read reviews on most low cost monitors and viewing angle seemed to be the highest issue and this has great angle.
Cons: No HDMI. I knew this but just figured I'd put it in the review. Also it does not come with a DVI converter, but my graphics card came with one so I just used that.
Other Thoughts: I ordered two of these refurbished, one was absolutely perfect like no one had used it, but the other was cracked big time and I have RMA'd it. Will update review once I receive the second one.READ FULL REVIEW
This review is from: Cooler Master Sleeve Bearing 120mm Blue LED Silent Fan for Computer Cases, CPU Coolers, and Radiators (Value 2-Pack)
Pros: Cool lights. Fans run quiet and look cool in case. HAF 912 Mid
Cons: Had to thread the screws into the fan, but once secure they work perfectly fine.READ FULL REVIEW

"Ghost or Human boy?"
I stood outside the small church. At the back of the crowd. Today there was a baptism, or something like this, so the building was filled beyond capacity.
I did not mind, it only added to my animosity. And, my purposes for standing there, would only come to fruition once the crowd had left.
I heard the priest bless bread and wine and thank the lord for giving them the ability to cultivate it and reap what they, themselves have sown. I would have laughed if it wasn't so sad.
All these people prayed to a god to fix problems that they themselves could solve with very little effort. Yet still, they wish for a miracle.
As I reflected on this little hierocracy. The mass was ended and the priest dismissed the crowd "in peace"; a peace that would be very easily broken and soon.
They all filed out of the doors and into waiting cars that would take them to far more enjoyable things now that their weekly job was finished.
As they walked out of the yard, they were forced to walk past me. Making me something to be stared at. Yet, I was not.
They merely thought I was a child who had been allowed to dress up for church, if only to keep me quite.
But wait; I was wrong. One living being did stare. A girl, possibly six years old. She continued to stare at me as she went past. But, there was no fear in her eyes, only curiosity.
Soon, the church and yard was emptied. With a purpose I walked into the church and strode to the door that would take me into the hospital.
This was my real purpose for coming on this day. No-one would let me through the main doors on my own. I am just a child in their eyes.
I had nearly reached the door when I heard a crash to my left. I turned with my hand on the revolver.
It was the priest. He had seen me, and in the shock of it dropped what would appear to be very important religious items. He was no threat and I turned back to the door.
Yet before I could put my hand on the knob a voice cred out. Wary as it was strong.
"Are you a man or ghost boy?" The priest asked.
I turned back to him to stare him straight in the eyes. And, even despite the distance that separated us, he could not help but shiver.
"I am what I am and need to be. Nothing more, nothing less." I replied, and with those words I turned, opened the door and stepped into the hospital.
I would like to note what the boy wears in order to remove any confusion as to the priests actions.
The boy wears a cowboy outfit all in black. And I do not mean the cheesy ones you see in stores, this is the same as what they would have worn over a century ago. This means
-A large wide brim hat
-Collared shirt with long sleaves, buttonable cuffs
-Cloak with small string to hold together. No hood
-Long legged pants. Slightly tight but loose enough to allow for movement.
-Boots. High ankled and sturdy.
Bandanna. This he uses to cover his face and hence his identity.
All pieces of this boys costume are black and he carries a revolver a Glock 9mm as a back up. There is also a knife hidden somewhere on his person for good measure.

Where can I find ablative dual-wavelength CO2/Erbium-YAG in Toronto? (photos)
Hello everyone, I have been suffering from acne since I was a teenager. I am now 24 years old and am left with lots of acne scars and some sun damage. I have done a lot of research on laser resurfacing and I've come to the conclusion that the best type of laser resurfacing is the ablative dual-wavelength CO2/Erbium-YAG. I live in Toronto, Canada and I am not sure where I can be treated with this specific laser resurfacing machine. I also wanted to know the cost. Also does it help dark circles?

Laser Resurfacing
Thank you for your question waterlily2015. Fractional laser resurfacing works well for acne scars. There are three lasers used for this purpose CO2, Er:YSGG (Cutera Pearl), and Er:YAG (erbium). They all remove the skin (ablation). But some generate more heat than others (CO2 most, Er:YAG least). This heat can help stimulate the formation of new collagen, which is important in treating both acne scars and wrinkles. People with darker skin types are more sensitive to heat, as this can cause discoloration, so Er:YAG works best in these people, although even CO2 can be used with low settings. I have never heard of using multiple fractional resurfacing lasers for acne scars. A resurfacing treatment can be combined with a non-ablative laser or radiofrequency. Please consult with a doctor for specific recommendations for you. Good luck!

The Kennel Club (KC) has approved two new official DNA testing schemes for progressive retinal atrophy in the Tibetan terrier breed.
A PRA 3 DNA test and a PRA (rcd-4) test is being offered by the Animal Health Trust, Laboklin (www.laboklin.co.uk) and OptiGen (www.optigen.com). Further details can be obtained directly from them.
Copies of all future test certificate results issued by these laboratories will be sent directly to the KC, where the test result will be added to the dog's registration details, which will trigger the publication of the test result in the next available Breed Records Supplement.
The result will appear on any new registration certificate issued for the dog and on the registration certificates of any future progeny of the dog, and also on the health test results finder on the KC's website.
Results for dogs already tested can also be recorded, but owners will need to submit copies of the DNA certificates themselves.
If the owner includes the original registration certificate for the dog (not a copy) then a new registration certificate will be issued, with the DNA result on it, free of charge.
Send any DNA test certificates to Health and Breeder Services, The Kennel Club, 1-5 Clarges Street, Piccadilly, London W1J 8AB or scan and email copies of the certificates to firstname.lastname@example.com


text: CHICAGO, Oct. 7, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- CCC Information Services announced today that Dave's Pro Collision of Beacher, IL became the 12,000th repair facility to choose CCC ONE™ Estimating. A former CCC Pathways® Collision Estimating software user, Dave Miramontes, owner of Dave's Pro Collision, conducted a demo of CCC ONE Estimating and found similar, intuitive features, while appreciating enhancements to the estimating tool including an enhanced user interface and the ability to filter searches for parts and to print graphics. CCC ONE Estimating is the cornerstone of the CCC ONE® Total Repair Platform which combines estimating, shop management and DRP performance controls into a simple, single solution. "I've been a satisfied CCC Pathways user for many years," said Miramontes. "I'm generally not too excited about change, but when I learned about CCC ONE, I could see that it is built from Pathways which makes it familiar and the new interface makes it easy to use. The changes and improvements that were made to CCC ONE will help to error-proof many of our day-to-day tasks, like parts selection." Repairers Helped to Create CCC ONE, Contributing to Adoption and Solution Effectiveness Crossing the 12,000th shop (or 35,000-user) milestone has not been the only measure of a successful technology rollout, according to Jim Dickens, SVP of the Automotive Services Group for CCC Information Services Inc. "CCC spent 18 months working with repairers and conducting industry research to create a solution that would address repairers' most pressing business problems. With the rollout of CCC ONE Estimating, we implemented a new customer satisfaction process so we could gather additional reaction and input from shops. Understanding that our technology is a fundamental shift in the way repairers have been conducting business, we want to be certain of the value the solution delivers." Since the rollout of CCC ONE Estimating, CCC has been measuring customer satisfaction and reaction to CCC ONE and monitoring calls into technical support. The satisfaction score, or the Net Promoter Score (NPS), is nearly double from what it was with CCC Pathways users. And, technical support calls are down among users who are fully deployed on CCC ONE Estimating.

It was a crisp, clear morning that greeted them as the sun rose to reveal the town of Arbristhene within a league of their position. The sand had flattened out, and there appeared to be little, if any, wind whatsoever. The town lay low, just like the sandy floor, only slightly darker in color than the sands that encompassed it. On the horizon, the faint color of the Talyxian forests that lay beyond the city, the almost fleshlike pink all but obscured in the morning sunrise. The small band of fighters continued their trek across the decidedly more packed sand, each taking to their own thoughts and making not a sound other than that of their movements. Rheyk was no exception. He every so often looked up at the town ahead of them and wondered to himself. Did we choose our mission wisely? Or did Rain consider this possibility and choose to travel to Eastwater first while we chase down a ghost here in Arbristhene? He shook his head ever so slightly. What will be will be. If our trek is in vain, at the very least, we will know that the people of Arbristhene are safe for the time being. Furthermore, I could have more time to prepare the group before we have to engage in more fighting.
He quietly hummed the start of an old, familiar tune to himself. I wonder if she knows, he said to himself. I wonder if that is why she does not send out the full wrath of her forces to destroy us while we are small, instead of what we all have been lead to believe that she doesn't find us a threat to her dominance in the region. He was slightly troubled by this, but he picked up his head a bit as he heard those nearest to him picking up on his humming and matching it. Before long, all of them were humming the tune lowly. Few of them knew where that tune had come from, and fewer still even knew what the words themselves were. Perhaps none of them really understood them at all; though all that really mattered was that it gave them the encouragement that was so desperately needed, time and again.
That alone was enough.
They stopped humming and speaking amongst one another once they had reached the outskirts of the town, the sun having fully risen above the horizon to a blazing morning of light and heat. The small band of fighters split up into units of no more than ten individuals each, quickly fanning out and heading into the down to spread out and seem to disappear, in order to avoid causing a scene that might alert the northerners to their presence. It was agreed that if there was no sign of the northerners in the village, that they would quickly move through Arbristhene and towards the forest, where the northerners were certain to be moving in from. They kept low and quiet, keeping off of the main streets as possible and always keeping alert watch around themselves at all times. The element of surprise, while their greatest ally, could also quickly turn into their worst enemy if turned upon themselves. But as the sun crept further into daytime and its prominence as the cruel master of a fallow sky, they found no signs of northern forces inside of the town.
It was a few hours before anyone saw the smokestacks rising into the sky behind the town that indicated the northerners' presence. It was quickly, unanimously, and separately agreed to move through quickly and meet the northerners before they had a chance to make a move on the town. Why they had decided to move so late was beyond their understanding – already there were enough stories from the East that had birthed nothing short of animosity and dread towards Rain's followers that had never been seen in such intensity and numbers in all of history. Surely, the northerners would not hide and attack sneakily, considering that fear and brutality were their primary weapons. But to attack well after dawn was unheard of. Perhaps that was the goal – to throw the villagers off-balance so as to make the most profound psychological impact as possible, or perhaps to show that they feared nothing the southerners could throw at them, and that they wished for all to see what had been done. As profoundly twisted and wrong her plans were, Rheyk had to acknowledge that Rain had always been one to display a cunning and intelligence not easily found in those of her kin.
Once they had passed through Arbristhene, they quickly regrouped and advanced on the northern forces' camp. Considering that they would be seen regardless at this point, all secrecy was abandoned in favor of speed. Certainly some of the enemy would notice them, and would have ample time to arm themselves, but many would certainly not – at least, that was the hope. The band of fighters rushed onto the northerners quickly, arms at the ready and poised to strike. A small wave of panic rushed through the camp as the northerners briefly fell under the incoming wave of fighters. Nearly a tenth of the northerners were slain before anyone in their camp had the wits about them to arm themselves and fight back. Though, once the northerners had done just that, the invading force was pushed back, losing a half-dozen soldiers in the process.
Rheyk found himself so surrounded by his fellow soldiers that he was unable to do more than watch. He tried to move to get himself more space to be able to aid in the fight, but found that all but impossible. "Give me room!" he bellowed to the soldiers around him. They complied, pushing back against the northerners at least enough to give him room to move and join in the fight. He pulled an arrow from the quiver, knocking the almost alien-looking projectile to his bow and quickly firing at a northerner who had managed to push through enough to strike at him. The arrow pierced the northerner's head through their eye, poking out the back in a small splatter of blood and gore. The stricken northerner cried out once exactly before collapsing to the ground, lifeless.
Rheyk had already turned and knocked another arrow by then, not even bothering to watch and make sure that they were actually dead. He knew it from the moment the arrow struck. The next soldier he shot in the chest, the black arrow piercing through the thick metal armor that they were wearing enough to tear into flesh. This sergal dropped their weapon, like the others, but did not die. They crashed to their knees, but quickly dove for their weapon. Rheyk saw that coming and first struck them on their face with his bow to distract them, before he dove for it himself. He reached it first – a well-made halberd with a pike on the opposite side of the axe end of the long, staff-like weapon. He gave a hard kick at the sergal and barely heard the sounds of bone cracking over the sound of the battle. The sergal cried out in pain, a desperate, almost animal call. Rheyk rolled to his feet and quickly brought the pike to bear, pointing the spear end at the northerner's head. "Stay down if you wish to live," he growled, before he parried a pike from another northerner. He shoved back hard and, in spite of being a foot shorter than the sergal, knocked them back enough to bring the halberd around and slash viciously at their head. The metal helm stopped the blade from slicing though their skull, but it was enough to knock the northerner to the ground. He wasted no time, slashing at the exposed neck and cutting off the attacker's head in one swift, sickening stroke. Rheyk turned away at the rather large spray of blood, the sound of the blade cutting flesh and bone a wet and stomach-turning sound. Quickly after the sergal's head had been cleaved off, a large pool of blood formed, pulsing from still-functioning arteries, before slowing into the trickle of death. He forced himself to look at it for the briefest of moments, before tearing his eyes away and quickly turned back to the battle raging around him.
After a moment, he realized that there were no other enemy troops within reach, and so he began to move to find more of them. He quickly found that the northerners were retreating, making haste towards the alien forests of the northwest and away from Arbristhene. A cheer went up with the defense, as they pursued them far enough to ensure they would not think about a counterattack. Once the surviving northerners, some scant half of their original strength, had fled, turned back to the northern camp to gather their own dead and look for any supplies they could use. In all, they lost nine soldiers, four of them fresh recruits. Rheyk dreaded the letters that he would write to their families, if they had any, explaining the circumstances of their death. He quietly questioned for a moment if what they were doing was worth the cost of doing so.
It was then that he stumbled on the injured northerner, whose armor markings indicated she was the captain of the force. Rheyk knew it was a she, because the north never placed a male in charge of large groups of forces. He looked down at her, and quietly asked, "do you intend to continue fighting us, or do you wish to spare yourself?" It was a question he asked whenever he could. He always remained hopeful, even if the usual answer did not make him optimistic.
"Never," she spat, blood gurgling in her throat and foaming at her lips, which only matched her murderous look. "I will never surrender to an agudner like you. You belong as a slave, not even as a soldier, much less the leader of any military."
Rheyk nodded his head sadly. The answer was always the same. "So be it," he replied, before he struck her on the head with the axe part of his halberd, wincing as he heard the cracking of her skull and the sick sound of the halberd hacking through bone, flesh, and organ alike. He left the halberd embedded in her head and turned away, a nearly angry scowl on his blood-streaked face. He had done it partially to make her death as quick and painless as possible, and partially so he wouldn't have to hear her screams.

Beck's Creates a Poster That Lets You Play or Remix 10 Songs | Adweek
Geege Schuman stashed this in Music
Beck's recently made an unorthodox contribution to New Zealand's Music Month by unveiling a touch-activated street poster that lets passers-by play or even remix tracks from local musicians.
The posters are made with conductive ink and special sensors that react to human touch like an iPad screen would, with audio coming from a rear-mounted speaker. Most of the music provided is feckless indie rock, but it's a nationally sponsored music festival, so no one should be expecting Meth Drinker or anything.
The posters were a collaborative effort between Novalia and the Shine agency, and one of the posters has been put up for auction to benefit the New Zealand Music Foundation. You may recall that Beck's came up with a playable beer bottle last year, which makes me wonder if Beck's has a hidden agenda to make music come out of anything.

Chestermere is about to get a lot sweeter with the City's first Lemonade Day coming up this weekend! On Saturday, June 11, youth ages 6-17 will be running their own lemonade stands all around the City between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. and are eager for your business.
"As one of only four host communities in Canada, we are so excited to participate in our very first Lemonade Day event," said David Petrovich, Economic Development Officer at the City of Chestermere and Lemonade Day organizer. "The kids have put a lot of work into this program, and we hope everyone comes out to support them on June 11."
In addition to being a fun summer event, Lemonade Day is a strategic youth entrepreneurship program. Over the last few months, the kids completed a workbook and attended a mentorship program that empowered them to turn an idea into a business plan.
Participants were expected to find sources for their small startup loan, negotiate rent for their space, come up with ideas for making their stand unique, think about ways to market their business, obtain a business license, and consider how they can give back to the community. In many communities that have hosted Lemonade Day, the kids have used their profits not only for themselves but to donate to charities or special causes.
On June 11, their hard work will come to fruition when their stands open up come rain or shine. Residents and visitors are encouraged to support as many lemonade stands as possible to appreciate the creativity and strategies of the young business owners.
Ready for Lemonade Day? 5 sweet reasons to attend:
1. You're supporting the first ever Lemonade Day in Chestermere!2. You're playing a role in helping to shape future entrepreneurs. 3. It's easy: there will be a map at chestermere.lemonadeday.org with all the lemonade stands in Chestermere. 4. You get to drink delicious lemonade in all kinds of flavours!5. You are shopping local!
This program has been made possible thanks to the amazing volunteer committee (which included eight dedicated members of the community) and the sponsors and mentors who have dedicated their time and expertise to this venture.
See you on June 11!

Barbecues and beach trips will be off the agenda this Bank Holiday as sub-zero temperatures and even some snow are set to keep people at home.
The mercury could plummet to minus 3C in Scotland while the south coast of England will remain under clouds, forecasters said.
The dismal outlook for the long weekend follows weeks of wet weather that brought floods in some areas.
MeteoGroup, the weather division of the Press Association, predicted a chilly holiday.
Forecaster Tom Tobler said: "It doesn't look like it's going to be beach weather.
"We're looking at some wintry showers in the North over high ground and there may be snowfall. Temperatures will be dipping on Saturday night to close to, or just below, zero in parts of the Midlands and Wales.
"It's going to be quite cold."
Temperatures on Saturday and Sunday are expected to climb no higher than 11C, with the brightest outlook in the South and South West, he said.
And Monday is expected to fare no better, with low pressure forecast to bring rain from the West.
The South West in particular could see heavy downpours, it was predicted - spelling bad news for ice-cream vendors and good news for DIY stores.
More than 20 flood warnings remained in place on the Environment Agency website.
But roads could be clearer than usual.
An AA spokesman said: "We don't think there will be significant getaways of traffic. A lot of people will be staying at home and doing their own thing.
"The weather's been so foul over the last month, I doubt many people have made plans to head off.
"It discourages people from going out and if people are staying at home it's going to be more of a DIY weekend than a travelling to the seaside one.
"People aren't going to be travelling long distances."
But local delays could be seen where events are being held, with the FA Cup Final at London's Wembley Stadium among the big draws, the spokesman added.
Tourist resorts meanwhile said they did not have high hopes for takings over the weekend.
Claire Smith, president of Stay Blackpool, said: "It's not looking like a fab Bank Holiday. People only have so much money to spend and it's not that long since Easter, which was absolutely brilliant. I also think people are making plans for the Jubilee weekend.
"The weather's very random at the moment so this is perhaps not going to be our best."

For Cleveland's LeBron James, there was history.
For Houston's James Harden, there was affirmation.
And for Indiana's Paul George and Utah's Gordon Hayward, a chance at signing contracts exceeding $200 million this summer is gone.
James and Harden headlined the All-NBA first team that was unveiled by the league on Thursday. James made the first team for a record-tying 11th time, matching the mark set by Kobe Bryant and Karl Malone. And Harden was the only player to be unanimously selected by a global panel of sportswriters and broadcasters as a first-teamer this year, returning to that group for the third time in the last four seasons.
Joining James and...

First Day @ Milano

This is a simple hotel, with simple rooms, with a simple breakfast, that will do job.

We sat for a while, and enjoyed a couple more drinks with the girls, then we decided to go back to the unit. We needed to be out early in the morning, so there was a lot of work to do to make that happen. Tomorrow was commuting to Como, then catching a bus to Bellagio. We have heard a lot about Lake Como, and we are looking forward to the journey.

We find that TGV wastes no time turning the train around, as passengers begin boarding the train for the return journey before we have gotten off with our luggage, admittedly we were last off the train. We find a taxi, and head to our hotel. It is also clear that we have arrived in Italy, as normal road rules have gone out the window, and the horn is the driver's best friend.

(A&O) has helped secure the largest-ever Middle Eastern private equity transaction.
The firm, led by corporate partner Pervez Akhtar, advised Morningtide Invest and Egyptian private equity house Citidel Capital on the $1.4bn (£703.56m) sale of Egyptian Fertilizers Company (EFC) to Abraaj Capital.
A Clifford Chance team led by Simon Clinton advised Abraaj on the acquisition financing, with Deutsche Bank acting as arranger.
Akhtar said: "People talk a lot about private equity deals coming out of the Middle East and into other areas, such as Europe. Private equity deals staying in the region is something that is just starting to grow.
"Our private equity practice is growing across the entire region and I think deals like this demonstrate its progress."
Private equity deals in the Middle East have been far less substantial in the past, with the $142m (£71.36m) acquisition of United Arab Emirates company Damas Jewellery by Shuaa Partners being the previous largest deal.
Clifford Chance's Clinton said: "It's not easy to make the successful Western private equity model fit into what is essentially an emerging market. This is why this deal is important for the Middle East."
Akhtar also advised Morningtide Invest as part of the consortium led by Citadel Capital to acquire EFC in 2005.
