1 Critical Keys to Converting More Leads to Move ins With Lauren Messmer, Executive Vice President of Retiring by Design
2 Lauren Messmer Executive Vice President and founder of Retiring by Design 13 years of marketing and sales experience in the senior housing industry Specializing in strategic marketing planning, sales consulting and training
3 4 Biggest Opportunities to Improve Occupancy 1. Develop a strategic plan based on data, then execute the plan and measure results 2. Evaluate accessibility of information for your prospects and the initial customer experience 3. Ensure you have a strategic event and promotion plan 4. Strategize the first 3 contacts with every prospect, not just the first one
4 1. Develop a strategic plan based on data, then execute the plan and measure results
5 Back To Basics The Three A s Accumulate Data Analyze Trends Adapt Methods
6 Accumulate Data The Database Management of follow up for leads Collect information for custom reports on prospect interests Historical attrition and move-out information Lost lead reasons, quantitatively & qualitatively Effectiveness of outreach efforts by analyzing number of referrals, depositors and move-ins from outreach contacts Demographic market analyses Census and inventory management
7 Analyze Trends Key Indicators Number of repeat tours as compared to initial tours Inquiry to initial tour conversion ratio Tour to move-in conversion ratio Call out to completed call out conversion ratio Call out to scheduled appointment conversion ratio
8 Adapt Methods Quarterly and Monthly Marketing Meetings SWOT Analysis Quantify Your Goals Demographic Review Lead Source Review Gestation Period for Move Ins Number of Contacts per Move In SMART Goals Event Plan
9 2. Evaluate accessibility of information for your prospects and the initial customer experience
10 Assess the Customer Experience What is the experience for incoming prospect calls? Can the customer speak to a real person? If they have leave a message, how quickly is it returned? Is there someone who can respond on weekends? What is the experience for website inquiries? How quickly are website inquiries responded to? Are the responses professional and do they include a close for an appointment vs. sending out a brochure? What is the experience for first-time visitors? Are there barriers to a pleasant customer experience? Is there someone to greet visitors and offer assistance immediately?
11 Follow Up It is imperative to check s for new messages at least 4x daily and answer them in a thoughtful manner while attempting to make a personal connection. Highly recommended that more than one person receive the internet messages. Remember response in 3 hours. Manager on duty & concierge need training regarding this process to allow for back up based on structure of sales team.
12 3. Ensure you have a strategic event and promotion plan
13 Strategic and Sales-Driven Events Treat RSVP s as inquiries Salespeople should take RSVP s and conduct discovery as with normal inquiries Set a goal of 20% personal appointments prior to day of event Set strategy before you set theme target market and target attendance in buying units Lead Generation Hybrid Conversion Prepare Color Code Name Tags Resident Ambassadors Follow Up Tools at Event (i.e. magnet reminders for personal appointment)
14 4. Strategize the first 3 contacts with every prospect, not just the first one
15 Strategize the First 3 Contacts Strategize your next 3 steps it takes an average of 40 contacts per IL sale and 15 contacts per AL sale the number of contacts per sale has doubled since 2007 The goal of a call or website inquiry is to schedule an appointment Don t include complete pricing and floorplans in brochures Don t include an activities/programs calendar in brochures Don t invite prospects to lunch or dinner on first visit Always use an invitation to your next event as a back up close if you can t get the personal appointment
16 Move In More Residents Schedule min 1 hr per day on calendar for calls and follow up. Which category is the prospect? Whether When Where Follow up appropriately based on category Follow Up. Follow Up. Follow Up.
17 Summary Develop A Plan Follow The Plan Adapt The Plan The current market environment provides easy excuses You need to work harder and smarter Planning, planning and more planning Solid execution will drive results

Yuzo takes viewers the the brackish lake of Hamanako to sight fish for what he claims is the most exciting game fish he has ever encountered, the Japanese black seabream. Finicky, tenacious, and intelligent, the black seabream is a formidable foe for even the most experienced angler. First thought to be impossible to sight fish for this species, Yuzo pioneered this genre, and has taken the Japanese fly fishing industry by storm.

A gas barbecue is effectively a combined gas hob and grill that you can use outside on your patio. Burners, fed by gas, provide a source of instant heat and food is cooked over this heat on the metal grill.
There are three main types of gas barbecue:
- standard gas barbecue – grill-only models, great for grilling meat, kebabs, fish and vegetables
- gas barbecues with hoods – you can roast and bake food inside it, in addition to grilling on it
- gas barbecues with a grill and griddle – a griddle is a handy feature if you like to barbecue lots of different types of food
Not sure whether to go for gas or charcoal? Our expert guide will show you how to buy the best barbecue.
How we test barbecues
You can't tell in the shop how well a barbecue cooks or whether it's safe and reliable. That's where Which? comes in.
In our lab tests we look at how easy each barbecue is to assemble, how well it cooks a variety of food and how tasty the food is. Most importantly, we also conduct stringent tests into safety and stability. So if you want a safe barbecue that cooks well, get a Which? Best Buy.

I've been trying to connect for hours and I have to finish a quiz
It's down for me too. I was able to do my homework (slowly) and then after one quiz question KAPUT. Dadgumit.
No success. Every time I try to submit my assignemnet I get a server error and my grade is only credited for like half the work. Guess I'm just gonna have to take what it gave me. I'm beyond pissed that this site went down when all I want to do is turn in my assignement before it becomes late.
Server issues all day - going to miss several deadlines because I've been kicked out of the same assignments multiple times. Good thing we're forced to throw $100+ at these jokers in nearly every course. Zero accountability.
Every website has times when the servers go down, but McGraw-Hill has done so little to foster any confidence in their ability to run their website, even during the best of times, that I can't imagine it will be up any time soon. The only thing I want from a website that I am forced to use to submit graded assignments is reliability. That is my only criterion for a website like this, yet I can't think of a less reliable website. I cant believe teachers make us use this shit.
Tried Chrome, FireFox, and Explorer. Nothing will load, just spins. Trying to get in to finish a timed text.
Unable to load Accounting assignment. Terrible service.

My connection with Connect is intermittent at best today. Very frustrating. If you can load the homework and finish the problem, be very careful. Checking your work will frequently lock the website up and shut you out. I really hate this site anymore. I dread when professors tell us they are using Connect. Switch publishers!!!

We have, slowly but surely, grown.
Until now, mostly what we have been selling has been quietly moving from farm to freezers as freezer beef and pork. Customers purchase a quarter, half or whole animal, I deliver it to the processor, and they pick up their meat cut and wrapped to their specification at the butcher. Which means I haven't done many farmer's markets, and you won't find our products at grocery stores or co-ops.
This year I have expanded my production a bit, and while I'm still very small, I will be selling individual cuts both at my farm, and at weekly Farmstand Fridays held on the front lawn of Fit America PA Weightloss & Wellness Spa. To learn more about our practices and methods, check out our website.
The Fit America PA Weightloss & Wellness Spa location is super-convenient for those in the North Hills. It's right on Perry Highway, at the intersection of Montclair, just across from Sheets. Parking is easy, both on street, and just behind the building.
Here's a little more about what you can expect from the farm stand:
First, local. As local as possible. Sustainably raised from some of the best local farms.
We are still a tiny bit ahead of the growing season, and inventory will vary from week to week as the season rolls along. I will be placing my orders on Monday for Friday Pickup, and setting up at the Fit America PA front yard for a 3pm start. I will be leaving at 7pm, and will typically have to hit it so I can get the animals fed and do a headcount.
Meats will be available from my farm, Auburn Meadow Farm. I raise pastured beef, pork, chicken and eggs from heritage breed animals. My inventory is seasonal, which means my meat offerings will vary week to week.
I will subsidize as needed with meats from like-minded, often female-centric farms like Old Time Farm, and Dream Thyme Farm among others, and have posted ordering menus on my Facebook page, Auburn Meadow Farm Virtual Farmstand. If you're interested in following along, join the Virtual Farmstand group to get detailed updates. You may preorder from the posted menus, and I will bring your order to the farm stand.
Since I do not grow produce, I will be picking up produce to stock the farm stand from two sources. First, Kretschmann's Organic Farm near Zelienople. The Kretschmann's have long been an inspiration to me, generous elders sharing freely their deep experience with younger farmers and the public. The Kretschmann's run a CSA program – a curated box of weekly vegetables.
I will be picking up items to sell ala carte, but if you would like to sign up for one of their boxes, I can arrange to use the farm stand as a drop point. We will have to work through some details with the Kretschmanns, and you will have to pick up your box on Friday – we do not have room to overnight boxes.
To get an idea of what will be coming on from Kretchmann's farm, here is a link of their seasonal schedule. To get a sense of why I like them so much, check out their lovely blog. They do a great job of sharing what goes on behind the scenes and share some really good recipes too.
My second source of produce and local goods is Penn's Corner Farm Alliance. Penn's Corner is an alliance of sustainable Pennsylvania Growers. They aggregate and package and distribute locally raised goods, and through them, I am able to bring to you local things like cheeses, homemade pastas, and some processed foods like jarred chopped tomatoes made from sustainably grown local tomatoes.
I can't always operate as a pre order business, but will certainly do my best to make sure I have what you need and to set aside pre-orders for you; email me through my www.AuburnMeadowFarm.com contact form with requests.
For payment, my preference is always cash or check, though I will be prepared to accept credit cards as well via square. My preference to avoid cards is for several reasons, partly because of my own weird luddite ways, but mainly because this is really not a profitable venture, so anything unnecessary that adds to overhead adds also to the price of the items. My goal is always to do my best to make the highest quality nutrition available for an attainable price.
Okay, I'm excited, I hope you are too. If you know someone who would be interested, please send the info along via Facebook, Twitter or whatever your favorite social media platform.

US police officers fire 137 shots to kill 2 unarmed suspects
(Editor's Note: This time the "suspects" weren't wheelchair bound veterans with mobile phones…as is often the case…should we be thankful that the "blue mob" is now slaughtering others?)
By Press TV
Tensions are on the rise in the major US city of Cleveland after 13 predominantly white police officers fired 137 shots to kill two unarmed African Americans following a 25-minute car chase.
Family members of the two victims, 30-year-old Malissa Williams and 43-year-old Timothy Russell are outraged over the incident, which took place Thursday night near the Justice Center in downtown Cleveland when several people claimed they heard a gunshot, leading to a high speed police chase after the couple's vehicle and their killing, local media outlets reported.
The reports have not yet indicated how the victims became suspects, prompting the long car chase and what prompted so many police officers to shoot the victims so many times, terrifying neighbors near a middle school, according to some news accounts.
Although a chasing police officer has claimed that the suspects pointed a gun at them during the chase, no weapons have been found in their vehicle and no bullet shell casings have been located outside the downtown building or along the route of the police chase.
Moreover, 12 of the 13 police officers involved in the brutal shooting have been identified as white, including five veteran detectives. The other police officer involved is reportedly Hispanic.
This has led many people to believe that the police shooting was racially motivated and part of a national trend in which a growing number of African Americans and other racial and ethnic minorities have been targeted by mostly white American police forces.
Meanwhile dozens of local residents staged a protest rally in Cleveland on Monday, outside the middle school where the police shooting occurred, demanding answers for the brutal killing.
Some people in the group referred to the killings as a "lynching" and one protest sign compared the killing of the two African Americans to infamous American criminals "Bonnie and Clyde."
Cleveland Mayor Frank Jackson, meanwhile, expressed his own concerns about all aspects of the incidents, from the length of the pursuit to the number of officers involved.

WE? WE? oh em gee… 😉
KT7KR, great information here. Will feed it into the Hasbara Bot database to spew out at Hasbarists in auto-reply fashion 😉
It was a great joke that went over your little hasbarist head, and here you are making nonsense out of a clear insult to Zionist Police Normalcy (which is brutality and atrocity — they fire before they even aim).
You stated that Jordan should absorb Palestine. That is a Zionist talking point. 😉 Don't make me bring Hasbara Bot out.
Welcome to the Police State — just as envisioned by the Zionists. How did they do this? They train our police forces as Gordon Duff indicates often. The same way Michael Chertoff had El-Al Airlines train our TSA.
This increasing militaristic attitude in America is against our founding principles. Prior to the World Wars, they did the same to the German people.
The only people that need to be policed are the Zionists. The Palestinians have shown that well. Our history shows that well. Accountability is their biggest fear.

Hi Blog Friends, I haven't been around the blogs, or doing any crafting for a long time. I'm slowing selling off a few things I know I'll never use - but am still hanging onto a lot of stuff, in the hopes that my craft mojo might return... But it's honestly looking less and less likely.
I don't want to depress you, so I would like to mention that I still intend to send out Christmas cards to all my blog-friends! They won't be homemade but they will be Aussie themed!
So if you could please drop me an email with your address, that would be fantastic!
You can email me at: email@example.com
I hope to send them out before the last week of November to they can make it around the world in time!

Be Fearless - Mixed Media Monday
Good Monday morning to you reading this, I hope it finds you well!
I have a page from my Art Journal to share again, for Mixed Media Monday.
Check it out:
I have a page from my Art Journal to share again, for Mixed Media Monday.
Check it out:
A very blue page, done with Dylusions sprays first off. Then I used a damask stencil and sprayed through using white Dylusions spray. I used a female figure stencil and stamped through it with a damask background stamp. I also went around and outlined it with black and white Big Brush markers.
Then it was just a matter of using some other texture stamps in the background, and adding some further details in, like the 'bubbles' up the side and top.
Which tied in with my letters that are round rub-ons which spell out
I hope you enjoyed my page today, and will stop by again soon.
Thanks for visiting and commenting!

Mixed Media Monday - Umbrella.
Hi Friends! It's a bright new week, which means it's time to see another page from my Art Journal. It's Mixed Media Monday time!
For this page I put down some of that meshy wall tape you can get from the hardware store. I thought it would give neat texture. I then went over it with Gesso and dried it. I sprayed some Dylusions spray inks onto my page, and blotted it off, to give it a more faded effect. I didn't blot the drips for the pink rain.
I sprayed some white ink through a raindrop stencil, but it didn't come out that well. So I used some blue and purple inks with a dot stamp for added texture and interest.
For my figure in a rainbow, rainboots and umbrella I used some papers I made on my Gelli Plate. Which is a new purchase I made. Wow it's so fun! A great way to make neat papers with lots of textures for my Mixed Media work. I simply drew the shapes on the papers and cut them out and inked around the edges, and added some detail with big brush markers.
For the flower I used texture paste through a stencil that I heat zapped, and them went over with Faber-Castell Big Brush markers. I liked the idea of the raincoat figure sharing the umbrella with the flower.
Which brings me to my quote:
Isn't that so true?
So Thank You for being my umbrella dear friends, and I hope you liked seeing my page today. Thanks so much for stopping by and all your lovely comments!

I just started with scraps of patterned paper, some had flower punchouts in them, and I just collaged them down onto my page to cover the whole thing.
I then went in with some love themed painterly rub-ons I had in stash for these squares of colour and hearts and sentiments.
Also some flower and butterfly rub-ons.
This photo strip of vintage images is from Darkroom Door. I love this cute victorian valentine couple!

Late Mixed Media Monday
Hi Friends, sorry for break in blogging again. I've been a bit ill for the past week and a half, but thankfully I'm feeling better now.
So I have a page from my Art Journal to share:
So I have a page from my Art Journal to share:
Just a painted background with some stamping, and the figures are a dylusions stencil sponged with some paint. I like the bubbly texture effect the sponge I used made. All the leaves were fussy cut.
I'll just keep it short and sweet. Any questions let me know.
Thanks for stopping by.

Does Gettleman and co. still look to pursue a veteran/bargain OG and DT or does he invest our remaining cap space into one of the two that is seemingly a proven and better than average player at OG or DT but not both? Does he work or approach others on the roster to take a pay cut and/or restructure? I'd really like to see a proven and good starter brought in at either guard or defensive tackle and solidify the other position with one of our top two picks.

About the Book
I lost my younger brother, Darin, in July of 2001. In 2008 I decided to create a memorial website to him and create this photo book as well. Our paths drifted for quite a number of years and my stubbornness didn't help. I missed out on a lot of things in his life. I wanted to share some of the joys in his life and I hope these tributes captured that.

London: Marcus Trescothick will captain his country for the first time in a test match on Thursday when England face New Zealand in the first game of another busy English summer. Preparations for the opening test match of the English summer were well underway at Lord's cricket ground in London on Wednesday. England's early-season preparations, however, were not as smooth as those of the groundstaff at the home of cricket. The 3-0 Test series victory in the West Indies earlier in the year was a distant memory for England coach Duncan Fletcher, when it was confirmed that captain Michael Vaughan would miss the first Test against New Zealand with a knee injury. On Wednesday Marcus Trescothick was named as his replacement. The left-handed opener, captain in a handful of one-day internationals, will lead his country for the first time in a Test match at the revered ground. "Yes, I am quite happy to take over and do the job (England captaincy). Obviously Mike (Michael Vaughan) is the guy who is in charge full time and hopefully he will be back for the next Test but I am quite happy to take the job on and do it for one game, albeit a very important game for us," said England's stand-in captain Marcus Trescothick. Opening slot Andrew Strauss is tipped to open the batting with Trescothick in place of Vaughan, but, with that exception, the England side is expected to mirror the preferred line-up from the Caribbean. Fast bowler Steve Harmison, Man of the Series in the West Indies, will have his sights set on another fruitful spell, while England will once again look to their own 'old fathers' to steady the ship. Experienced middle order batsmen Nasser Hussain and Graham Thorpe, with 25 years of test experience between them, look set to play through the majority of the summer. Hussain, 36 earlier this year, is expected to play his 96th test match on Thursday. If his run in the team continues, the former captain will reach one hundred test appearances for his country in the series against the West Indies later in the year. Promising talent England's first visitors this year are a New Zealand team with a growing reputation. Well coached by John Bracewell, and exceptionally well led by Stephen Fleming, the Black Caps fully deserve their place as the fifth-best test team in the world, just one point behind India in fourth and two points behind England in third. With promising young talent at the disposal of cricket's most experienced captain, it is unsurprising that things are starting to work for the Kiwis. "I think as we come here we are a lot more comfortable about the team we have brought over and looking forward to what will be a good series because I think both teams in a way are similar in their make-up and similar in their past records, perhaps in the last six months in particular," said Stephen Fleming, New Zealand captain. The Black Caps, by their own admission, may need time to adjust to English conditions and there will be added pressure on the bowlers that have made the trip before. The loss of express fast bowler Shane Bond to a recurring injury has not helped. All-rounder Chris Cairns is invaluable to their cause, and paceman Daryl Tuffey and the orthodox left-arm spinner Daniel Vettori will hold the trump cards if they hope to bowl their hosts out twice and win test matches. New Zealand's recent one-day series victory and test series draw versus South Africa is indicative of the strides made by the Black Caps. Fleming views the upcoming series against England as crucial in gauging how well New Zealand cricket, and England cricket for that matter, has developed in the last 12 months. "I think this series is going to give us a pretty good indication of where we are in world standings. England, I think, are in a similar position. They are looking to consolidate after a good winter and the best place to do that is at home. From that point of view I find it very intriguing when the wash finishes up where we lie," Fleming said. England and New Zealand face each other in the first of three test matches at Lord's starting on Thursday. Teams England Squad: Marcus Trescothick (captain), Andrew Strauss, Mark Butcher, Nasser Hussain, Graham Thorpe, Paul Collingwood, Andrew Flintoff, Geraint Jones (wicketkeeper), Ashley Giles, Simon Jones, Steve Harmison, Matthew Hoggard, James Anderson. New Zealand Starting Line-Up - Stephen Fleming, Mark Richardson, Nathan Astle, Scott Styris, Chris Cairns, Brendon McCullum (wicketkeeper), Craig McMillan, Jacob Oram, Daniel Vettori, Daryl Tuffey, Chris Martin. Umpires: Daryl Harper, Australia, and Rudy Koertzen, South Africa; Third umpire - Mark Benson, England; Match referee: Clive Lloyd, West Indies.

Mrs. MALONEY. Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume.
The serious fiscal challenges facing the Federal Government demand that agencies do everything they can to operate as efficiently as possible. The Federal Government spends billions annually through its purchase card programs, using purchase cards and convenience checks to acquire millions of items--everything from paper and pencils to computers--and to make payments on government contracts for a variety of goods and services such as vehicles and relocation services.
The primary responsibility for purchasing these items rests with cardholders and the officials who approve their purchases. Because of the position of public trust held by Federal employees, Congress and the American people expect cardholders and approving officials to maintain stewardship over the Federal funds at their disposal. Specifically, purchase cardholders and approving officials are expected to follow published acquisition requirements and exercise a standard of care in acquiring goods and services that is necessary and reasonable for the proper operation of an agency.
Because every Federal dollar that is spent on fraudulent, improper, and abusive purchases is a dollar that cannot be used for necessary government goods and services, ensuring that purchase cards are used responsibly is of particular concern at a time when the United States is experiencing substantial fiscal challenges.
I strongly support Senator Grassley's bill, on which he has worked many years, S. 300, because the legislation will require agencies to establish internal control activities over travel and charge cards. Agencies will be able to perform credit checks on potential recipients of travel cards. Agencies will also be able to appropriately discipline employees who misuse charge cards, including termination of their employment.
Most importantly, this legislation will keep agencies accountable for charge card misuse because the inspectors general of each agency will be required to examine charge card use twice a year and report any violations to the Office of Management and Budget.
I urge my colleagues to support this bill, and I yield back the balance of my time.

What kind of weird math do you have to do to come up with the answer of Tiger Woods at No. 1 when he finishes a tournament at 18-over par and hasn't won a title this year?
Woods' 77 on Sunday at Firestone finished the worst performance of his career.
And yet he is still perched at the top.
Tiger at his worst going into last major
"Shooting 18 over par is not fun. I don't see how it can be fun shooting 18 over, especially since my handicap is supposed to be zero," said Woods, who has won seven titles at Firestone. "I need to hit the ball better, I need to chip better, I need to putt better, and I need to score better. It's nice that the tournament is over and we can focus on next week."
Woods is on his way to Whistling Straits in Wisconsin for this week's PGA Championship, his final chance this year to climb one major closer to Jack Nicklaus.
However, he failed to win at Augusta (Masters), Pebble Beach (U.S. Open) and St. Andrews (British Open) - three of his favorite courses.
Woods says he "went through something like this" in the late 90s but Woods is older with many more burdens now. A lot more people are having trouble seeing the light at the end of the tunnel as anything more than an oncoming train.
Woods has not gotten his usual, and expected, automatic Ryder Cup spot and right now would have to be selected.
So have we seen the worst of Woods and would you put him on the Ryder Cup team if you were captain Corey Pavin?
While we wait to find out if the swing doctor is in, here is some good work by some good people that we might have missed while sleeping or comparing Derek Jeter to Babe Ruth.

Most of the educational challenges in hygiene and sanitation management spring from the fact that most people who need to manage their own water sources live in the rural areas, or are poor, whether they be in urban areas or in rural areas.
A. Water purification
Boiling is the easiest method to purify water, however when it comes to the majority of the people who need to boil there water for purification, most of them are poor, and cannot afford the fuel to just boil drinking water. It takes hours to gather firewood for a source of fire, and most poor people would rather use the fuel economically than "waste" it on boiling water. Therefore, alternatives that are cheaper can be sort to make poor people not choose between purifying water through boiling and staying disease free.
Water must also be boiled to a certain temperature to ensure that pathogens are dead. Most people just bring water to the boil and then take it out, drinking water should boil for about 10 minutes to be safe, other people suggest that it should be over 20 minutes to be considered safe ( 5-20 min)
Filtering at the source using earth
One can dig a hole about two to four feet from the water source and then allow the hole to fill with water. This will most probably improve the purity of the water but it does not guarantee that the water is safe.
Building a water filter through sand and gravel
One can use a simple container like a jerry can and fill it with layers of sand, grass and charcoal that trap particles that are suspended in the water. Layering the materials from bigger gravel to the finest sand will help trap more impurities. Another container is placed at the collecting end. http://www.villagelifeoutreach.org/LifeDocs/Water%20Treatment%20Article%20(2006).pdf
Using of clear plastic water bottles and solar panels as discussed in the successful programs below.
B. Separating the sewage water from the water mains and drainage problems In most cities, it is the responsibility of the government to mind the drainage areas and sewage plants. However, in many parts of the world, the government has failed its people thus the responsibility of water management is dependent on the residents of a given community to provide such services for themselves. Most residents therefore dig trenches that lead from there property and into the street or any other part of the land that they are not solely "responsible for". This is challenging because the community has to come together to ensure a workable drainage for a village. When the community is big, it is even more challenging and it might require the municipal council to do the work.
The solution for this problem has been discussed under solutions. However, the solution needs space for the building of cesspits to allow water to sip into the ground in away that will not contaminate the underground water.
C. Protection of water catchment areas
Protection of water sources has challenged people over the years. This is so because some water sources start in other countries, or across ethnic borderlines. Therefore, the people downstream of the water source get water that is contaminated by the people upstream. Educating people on the importance of water catchment protection will reduce its contamination and abuse.
Other water catchment areas like roof catchment and underground water must also be made safe. Roof water is full of impurities through it might be clean. Thus, even roof water must be sanitized to make it safe for consumption.
D. Dumping problem
Dumping in water bodies is a common trend in many poor countries. It is challenging to find alternative dumping sites when the government does not provide the services. This does not mean, however that the poor people should dump in their water sources or in unsanitary manner. There are easy ways of getting rid of solid waste. These ways include burying the waste in a pit, burning the waste, and recycling the waste through sorting out the reusable waste and putting the others in a compost pit.
Successful Programs Proven In Specific Villages, Countries, Cultures
i. Three pot system ( leaving water to stand and sediment)
http://www.unep.or.jp/ietc/publications/techpublications/techpub-8a/natural.asp After fetching the water, just let it stand in the container so the large particles can settle to the bottom of the container then pour the clearer water into another container. Then let it stand and sediment then pour onto the third container or pot. This is where the name three-pot system comes from. http://www.outdoors.org/publications/outdoors/2001/2001-disinfect-water.cfm
ii. Boiling
Boiling water is the best method of killing pathogens. Water experts' believe that after bring water to the boiling point; it should be left to boil for at least five minutes to ensure that pathogens are dead. Others suggest boiling between five to twenty minutes. However, after boiling the water, the water should be covered when cooling and stored in a clean safe container to avoid recontamination.
iii. Straining using muslin cloth
Filtering water using a clean cloth may reduce the disease causing agents especially the bacteria that causes cholera by half. Filtering using clean cloth is easy and affordable. Firmly tie the strain cloth around the container so that unstrained water does not pour into the collecting container. The collecting container should be clean to ensure that there is no recontamination of the strained water.
iv. Disinfecting with Chlorine
Chlorine is readily available in most parts of the world. Chlorine oxidizes the water and killing the harmful disease causing pathogens. Chlorine is effective in destroying pathogens that cause diseases like Cholera, typhoid, amoebic dysentery, gastroenteritis, shigellosis, salmonellosis, and Campylobacter enteritis, amongst many others. It is important to note however that the contact time of chlorine and the water is paramount; therefore, after administering chlorine in the water, it should be given enough time to react with the organisms and to settle. Most household chlorine for water treatment come with instruction son how much to use for a given volume of water. http://www.ag.ndsu.edu/pubs/h2oqual/watsys/ae1046w.htm http://www.cahe.nmsu.edu/pubs/_m/m-116.pdf
v. Solar treatment of water
Ultra Violet rays (UV rays) with a wavelength of between 315-400 nanometer (nm) have been proven to destroy microorganisms. In most dry areas where water is scarce and its availability does not mean that it is safe for consumption, this would be an effective method of ensuring that water is a bit safe to drink. Putting the water in clear container and leaving the container in the sun would do much good. Example that is currently being promoted is using the two-liter coca cola bottle. This has been proven to work because of the large surface area to volume ratio that the bottle offers for the UV rays to travel through the water. This method is more affordable to poor people who cannot afford to "waste" fuel on boiling water for consumption.

vi. Life straw
The Life Straw is a portable water purification tool that cleanses surface water and makes it safe for human consumption. It is just 25 cm long and 29 mm in diameter and can be hung around the neck for ready use. It is used in places where water is unsafe to remove harmful microorganisms that may cause diseases.

JUNEAU, Alaska (AP) GOP nominee Joe Miller sued Tuesday to keep the state from using discretion in counting write-in ballots in Alaska's hotly contested Senate race, setting off what could become a drawn-out legal battle.
The lawsuit was filed the day before election officials planned to start counting write-in ballots that could determine the outcome of the race. Lt. Gov. Craig Campbell, who oversees Alaska elections, said the count will proceed Wednesday morning as planned.
This is the latest twist in a race that features a rematch of the Republican primary. Sen. Lisa Murkowski lost that contest to Miller and went on to wage a write-in campaign.
SENATE RACE: In Alaska, fierce ballot-by-ballot count looms
Initial returns, including more than 27,000 absentee and early voting ballots tallied Tuesday, showed write-ins maintaining a lead over Miller of 11,333 votes.
Miller entered the day's count down by 13,439.
Returns that have been tallied so far show write-ins with 92,528 votes, or 40%, and Miller with 81,195 votes, or 35%.
However, it's unclear how many of those write-in votes are for Murkowski, or were properly cast for her.
Both campaigns expressed confidence as the results were released.
Election law calls for write-in ballots to have the oval filled in and either the candidate's last name or name as it appears on a declaration of candidacy written in. But election officials, pointing to prior case law, have said they plan to use discretion, in consultation with a state attorney, when it comes to misspellings or variations of Murkowski's name.
Miller's lawsuit calls this an "eleventh hour decision" and argues the state should be held to the letter of the law.
The state did not release in writing rules for how it would conduct the ballot counting until Monday afternoon.
MAJORITY: GOP gains in Senate not enough
2010 ELECTION: Full coverage
Miller is asking a judge to prevent the state from accepting as valid write-in ballots in which candidate names are misspelled or the names aren't as they appear on their candidacy declarations.
Miller's attorney, Thomas Van Flein, said the campaign is seeking a hearing on the matter as early as Wednesday afternoon.
Murkowski spent much of her campaign educating voters about the write-in process, telling them to fill in the oval and write in "Lisa Murkowski" to ensure their vote would not be challenged.
Her campaign manager, Kevin Sweeney, said it "appears the Miller campaign will do everything they can to stop Alaska votes from being counted."
