This was a great episode. Cory starts hanging out with "nerdy" kids, including the very strange Topanga. In the end of the episode, after everything returns to normal, Cory and Topanga share their first kiss {of course, with each other}.
This is the first instance where the audience thinks Cory and Topanga will someday be together {which of course happens in the final season}. This is one of my personal favorite episodes. It had a very good plot and some good lines. And the kiss at the end was really nice, sometimes they just happen and that is what the episode is about. Not this time

Winter is not really the season liked by many homeowners because of the tedious home maintenance tasks it calls for. But part of owning a house is having the endless responsibility of maintaining it all throughout the year, especially if you wish to save on energy and money in the long run.
Is it possible to save energy and money by doing regular home maintenance? Read more to find out.
– According to the US Department of Energy, American homes have heating and cooling systems wherein at least 50% of its energy is spent on. Failing to seal air leaks and holes allow indoor air to escape and outdoor air to enter, causing the systems to work harder to maintain the temperature settings you set.
– Installing insulating jackets to your water heaters is another great way of ensuring no heat is lost in the process. Furthermore, lowering the furnace to 120 degrees can bring about 6-10% of savings on heating costs.
How to save on money and energy without sacrificing comfort does not end here. Click here to find out more.

Happy Monday everyone (not really, I loathe Mondays). I hope you guys watched True Blood last night because it was awesome. I feel like I have been waiting forever to see the start of season 2! Of course I had to wait for Tim to get home from volleyball so I didn't even start watching it until almost 11. I was getting antsy (thank heaven for DVR). Incase you missed last night here is the recap, and as soon as I can find the preview for next week I'll post that too.
I'll be doing some catch up today. I was in PA over the weekend and didn't go near a computer.

WASHINGTON -- A politically potent group of House Banking Committee members is sponsoring a community development lending bill that would provide more financial incentives for banks than President Clinton's program.
The measure, sponsore by Rep. Floyd Flake, D-N.Y., and Rep. Jim Leach, R-Iowa, appears to have a better-than-even chance of prevailing over the President's approach.

As Qatar strives to be a hub for academic excellence in the Arab world, Western universities are increasingly showing interest in opening branches in the tiny-but-wealthy Gulf emirate. Six US universities have already established campuses there, and the latest arrival is a French graduate school of management.
The US universities have set up branches in Qatar's Education City, a flagship project of the Qatar Foundation, which is a private non-profit organisation chaired by Sheikha Mozah Bint Nasser (pictured), the wife of the emirate's ruler.
Located on a 14 million square metre site on the western edge of the Qatari capital of Doha, Education City houses a wide range of education and research facilities. Each of the Western universities in Education City has been carefully selected to provide world-class education, according to Qatari officials.
"I think the leadership of the country wants to raise the standards of quality education in Qatar," said Abdulla bin Ali Al-Thani, Vice-president of the Qatar Foundation. "Our experience turns out to be very positive. Still, I don't know if ours is the best model for other Arab countries," he told University World News.
The first of the foreign branch campuses to be established in Qatar was Virginia Commonwealth University School of the Arts, a US institution that opened there in 1998. The declared mission of the Qatar branch is to provide the highest level of design education and training for the citizens of Qatar, the Arabian Gulf and beyond.
The degree programmes combine contemporary approaches to design adapted to the cultures of the region. Its students have the chance to obtain a master of fine arts in design studies or a bachelor degree in fashion design, graphic design, interior design and printmaking.
Another foreign campus in Qatar is the New York-based Weill Cornell Medical College, which opened there in 2002. It was the first American university to offer a doctor of medicine degree outside of the US.
Weill Cornell Medical College in Qatar pioneered co-education in the conservative country. Its student body is diverse, with enrolments from more than 30 countries.
The following year Texas A&M University started offering bachelor of science degrees in chemical, electrical, mechanical and oil engineering in Qatar. In addition, the branch provides instruction in science, mathematics, liberal arts and the humanities.
In 2004 the US' Carnegie Mellon University opened its first international branch campus in Qatar. Undergraduate students may choose from three of the university's programmes: computer science, business administration and information systems.
A year later another American institution, Georgetown University School of Foreign Service, opened in Qatar to teach a four-year degree programme leading to a bachelor of science degree in foreign service.
Meanwhile, since 2008 the Qatar branch campus of the US Northwestern University has been offering programmes in journalism and communications. It plans to offer a pre-college preparatory programme.
The latest to set up in Qatar is HEC Paris, a French graduate school of management. HEC Paris in Qatar [http://www.exed.hec.edu/locations/Qatar] will offer executive education programmes and carry out research, and will offer an executive MBA starting in February.
"In the past, our students used to go abroad and never come back after graduation," said Al-Thani of the Qatar Foundation. "This was a big loss. This trend is reversed now."
Professor Albert Lourde, Rector of Senghor University, a university for African development located in the Egyptian coastal city of Alexandria, disagrees.
"Foreign universities in our countries can lure the best students away from the national universities," he told University World News through an interpreter. "Foreign universities can even encourage students after graduation to leave their home countries to work abroad. So, this system does not work for us in the Third World," he said.
But according to Stephanie Hartgrove, a media relations manager at the Qatar Foundation, this was not the case in Qatar. "Most students prefer to stay in Qatar after graduation to start their own businesses," Hargrove told University World News.
"Students from over 80 nationalities have attended the branch campuses since they started in Qatar. Generally speaking, fees charged by these universities are the same as at home." She added that some students were granted scholarships, subject to certain rules.

Rumours that Queen Bey would be making an appearance at the awards have been swirling for days, and while hardline country fans may have bah-humbugged, the performance is certain to go down in CMA Awards history as one of the all-time most unforgettable.

Biology is one of the original natural sciences, even reaching back as far as the study of anatomy in ancient Egypt, where evidence has been found of surgery, forensics, and anatomical knowledge of both organ structure and function. Biology in general is the study of life and living organisms, with specific attention to function, growth, evolution, identification and taxonomy. Modern biology is becoming an interdisciplinary field, overlapping with biomedical engineering, molecular chemistry, and genetics. The biological sciences recognize the cell as the basic unit of life, and DNA as the basic unit of heredity. Moreover, all organisms survive by consuming and transforming energy via respiration or photosynthesis, and by regulating their internal environment via homeostasis.
The life sciences are defined by the scale at which organisms are studied, in that biochemistry focuses on chemical processes of life while molecular biology involves molecules and protein synthesis. Cellular biology may be broken down further into a structural analysis of cell organelles and lipid membrane boundries, such as in skin tissue or alveolar sacs in the lungs. In the field of genetic engineering, DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) may be spliced together from different organisms, in an attempt to transfer hereditary traits that may increase crop yields, create a supply of stem-cells, or even clone sheep. Beyond major requirements within the human anatomy department, you may consider Northern State University ultrasound technician program as a complementary elective to your primary course of study.

I'd like to introduce Laurie and Helen North, two great patrons of San Lorenzo, to whom I owe a debt of gratitude for indirectly introducing me to my wife, Angela. Thanks to them, she came to Wimbledon to study English and it was through them that she came to me to ask for a part time job. She ended up with a full-time one instead, and this is how Laurie remembers it..
Where do I begin? History doesn't have a starting point, and this applies equally to a romantic history, so I'll start in Rome where my wife was living and teaching languages — Italian in an American University and English privately. Through this scholastic approach to Italian life Helen met the chief steward of Alitalia. He of course received a constant stream of requests from young ladies who wanted to become airline stewardesses — at that time considered a glamorous profession.
Those of the applicants whom the chief steward considered likely candidates would be sent to Helen to have their English improved. One such candidate was a certain Angela Frondaroli. Angela was very keen to acquire a good knowledge of English and with that in mind asked about coming to England to practice her English. Helen suggested that she could temporarily stay at the flat in Wimbledon with me while looking for a place/room of her own.
Angela arrived and settled in to the spare room in the Wimbledon flat, and became 'part of the family'. I was able to point Angela towards language schools and part-time jobs, whilst occasionally benefitting from Angela's cooking. During this period Angela shed a swain who had appeared on my doorstep with flowers and a despairing look. Angela and I got on well so there was no talk of moving elsewhere.
Well that was background; now to the point of all this: Angela had lost her last part-time job when Benetton Wimbledon closed down (Ghigo assures me that their clothes are always impeccably folded thanks to Angela's indoctrination there!) and we discussed where she might look for the next. There was a fine restaurant at the end of the road and I suggested that it might be worth trying for a job there. Angela demurred as it was an Italian restaurant and she wanted to practice her English (San Lorenzo Fuoriporta could hardly be anything else!) but decided to try as a job was a necessity.
Angela was successful, she had walked in and met the owner/manager a — certain Ghigo Berni, who, apparently did have a vacancy. So Angela settled in and clearly everyone was happy with the arrangements.
It was only later I learnt that when Angela had walked into San Lorenzo's that Ghigo didn't have a vacancy, he had taken one look at the charming young lady who was enquiring about a job, decided that he wanted to get to know her better and employed her there and then. Probably the best decision he had ever made! They will be celebrating their 21st wedding anniversary this year together with their two charming daughters!
I have further learnt that when Ghigo was discussing marriage implications, shortly after their engagement, Ghigo asked her whether she was sure she wanted to give up sunny Latina, the beach, her family, the culture, etc., and she replied that the only thing she would truly miss was a proper pizza. At this they went to Rome to discover the best pizza. A few months of experimentation later, they had perfected their pizza style and the product went down exceedingly well with their clientele, as I know. In fact it was an important catalyst in the regeneration of their customer base.
To illustrate Ghigo's further good luck in having Angela turning up for a job, is that he has married an intelligent witty woman. I quote: "If ever we go out and meet other people socially, modern women always discuss their respective careers before finally asking Angela what she does, to which she replies: 'Me? Oh me, I'm freelance!' "
"Ah, freelance. Freelance what?" they ask
"Ah! I'm a freelance cook, freelance cleaner, freelance teacher and homework supervisor, freelance cab driver, freelance child minder, freelance children's events organiser, freelance PE motivator, freelance adolescent careers consultant, freelance front-of-house restaurateur's wife, freelance anything, really."

I am currently really struggling with getting my students to understand that artwork doesn't always have to be pretty and perfect. It's ok for it to be organic and messy and have some character! I don't understand where this desire for perfection comes from. Is it just our district because these kids strive for perfection in everything they do? Or is it coming from their elementary art teachers? I just don't get it.
So I ended up in a pickle this past weekend. Hurricane Sandy put a damper on our 8th grade DC trip so the trip was canceled and rescheduled in a few weeks. Great! I get my kids for an extra week this 6 weeks (when I thought I was only getting them for 5 weeks). However, last Friday, I made my ceramics class finish their projects so they could dry out during DC and they would be fired and ready to go when they came back on Monday. So now that they weren't going, what was I going to do with them for a whole week with only 2 weeks left in the 6 weeks. After collaborating with some other art teacher friends, I decided to do slab vessels...something like this...
The kids seemed to like the idea so we started it on Monday. When construction started Tuesday, all I heard was, "mine is ugly"..."it doesn't sit straight"..."I hate mine". After inquiring as to why they hated it, I found out it was because they weren't perfect. The slabs overlapped and slumped a bit. But it gave it so much character! I actually like those so much better than the ones that were stacked right on top of itself. Here are some of them in progress...
Do you have problems with kids not liking their artwork because it's not perfect? Do you embrace the quirkiness and character in artwork? How do you address this in your class?
Update 11/30/12
My new ceramics class has been making the slab wrap vases. They don't seem to hate them as much as last 6 weeks. This project has replaced the coil bowls since I decided that the kids don't learn anything making the coil bowls. With those bowls, they didn't have to roll their own coils or score and slip so all it did was make pretty artwork. With this project, they had to roll a slab, score and slip and improve craftsmanship. I think they were really successful this time! Here is what they have done so far.

I have been handbuilding as a hobby for several years and it is a familiar theme in our studio for people to express their hatred for their own work while others of us can't understand why. I have even seen people rescue pieces from the trash that the artist has discarded. We are our own worst critics!ReplyDelete

Continuous rain during florescence has direct impact on the high and stable yielding of summer maize, while the study of disaster risk zoning can provide basis for the management of disaster risk. By using the daily weather data in the period from heading to spinning stage of summer maize and the yield data of summer maize in Henan Province from 1961 to 2010, this paper statistically calculated the average occurrence frequency and scope of continuous rain during the florescence of summer maize, established the series of disaster risk intensity of continuous rain, and extracted the yield loss rate caused by continuous rain with the method of Lagrange' s interpolation. Finally, the risk zoning index for continuous rain was set up to make zoning of continuous rain during florescence of summer maize in the Province. The results showed that the relatively low risk area of continuous rain during the florescence of summer maize with a risk index below 0. 25 was mainly distributed in the most part of north of Yellow River, local part of middle Henan, and east part of Nanyang basin, occupying about 33.3% of the whole Province, whereas the high risk area with a risk index higher than 0. 5 was in the north part of north Henan and most part of east Henan and south Huaihe River, occupying about 14. 8% of the whole Province.

Based on the index of the occurrence of dryhot wind in winter wheat region, an index of its occurrence intensity was established and the occurrence rule of dry-hot wind was inverted for the main winter wheat producing areas in the North China Plain since 1961. According to the results, the winter wheat area of the middle and south of Hebei, the west and north of Shandong and the north of Henan are the high risk zones of dry-hot wind, and the occurrence has reduced since the beginning of 1980' s. Thus, using the winter wheat observatory meteorological data, production structure material, yield, growth phase and other data, a dry-hot wind risk assessment model was established after the construction of the dry-hot wind risk evaluation index system that cover the dry-hot wind strength risk index and integrated disaster resisting capability index of the winter wheat. The dry-hot risk in main winter wheat producing areas of north China was then assessed using the model, and the dry-hot wind risk zoning assessment map was made for the areas. Assessment results show that, southeast of Hebei and northwest of Shandong are areas with high risk of the dry-hot wind influence, while south of Henan, east of Shandong and Hebei are low risk areas.

Of many environmental factors, the climate is the most important and active factor influencing plant phenology and its changes. In this paper, we first of all examine the relationship among the plant phenology, the climate and the climate change. Since numerical modeling is an important tool to quantify this relationship, we have further documented the recent research advances at home and abroad in areas of plant phenology and phenology simulation. It is shown that among climate variables, temperature is the most important factor to impact on the plant phenology. When water become a stress factor, its effect on the phenology is also significant. During the recent 50 years, the worldwide plant phenologies tend to have spring phenology advance and autumn phenology delay or slight delay, resulting in the growing season prolong for most plants. As a result of global warming, the temperature rising in winter and spring mainly leads to the spring phenology advance and the growing season prolong thereby. To further understand quantitative relationships between climate forcing and phenology response, we suggest further researches to be conducted in the areas such as, but not limited to, phenology mechanism, phenology relationships with climates and their changes,phenology modeling, and remote sensing applications.

In the past few decades, significant changes of climate resources had taken place across the North China Plain (NCP), corresponding to global climate changes. Climate change has caused far-reaching impacts to agricultural production in the North China Plain, where is one of the most important food production regions in China. In this study, characteristics of regional distribution of climate resources during the five different decades from 1961 to 2007 were analyzed by using daily weather data from 59 typical agro-meteorological stations located the North China Plain. The major results showed: (1) heat resources in the North China Plain were significantly enriched during the study period due to global climatic warming, such as ≤0°C and ≤10°C acumulative air temperature markedly increased, specially, in north and east. (2) Annual precipitation decreased about 20 mm per decade from 1961 to 2007. Seasonal precipitation in summer and autumn also decreased with rate ranging from 25 mm/10 a to 40 mm/10 a, however, slightly increased in spring and winter. In addition, yearly mean of reference crop evapotranspiration (ET0) was declined in the North China Plain. The decreasing rate of rainfall was a little more than that of ET0. (3) Sunshine hours in the North China Plain showed a significant declination, especially in large and middle size urban area.

Drought is the main agro-meteorological disaster to restrict the summer maize production in the Huang-Huai-Hai area. It is of great important to clarify the spatiotemporal distribution law of agricultural drought in main food production area for the prevention and reduction of disasters. Based on the crop water deficit index ( CWDI ) and drought grade index, the spatiotemporal change law of drought during the summer maize growing season in past 40 years was analyzed. Results show that, the CWDI and probability of drought are the largest at the sowing-emergence stage. Other than the sowing-emergence stage, probability of drought decreases with the increase of drought grade. The sowing-emergence stage is when the probability for the special drought grade was the highest. There was no significant temporal trend for CWDI at each stage, but there are large fluctuations between years, es-pecially at the mid-late stages. Drought is most serious in 1997 in the recent 40 years with long time duration and widely affected areas. Spatial distribution range of CWDI varies with the law of reduction-enlargement-reduction from 1971-1980 to 2001-2010. The drought was the most serious in 1991-2000 and the lightest in 2001-2010. From the spatial distribution, CWDI and drought grade basically present the gradually increasing trend from east to west and from south to north. The most part of Hebei, the north and west parts of Henan and mid-west of Shandong were the areas with high probability of drought. Due to the increasing fluctuations between years, extreme drought events would occur in a larger probability during the mid-late season of summer maize. It is strongly advised to strengthen the prediction and prevention of drought, especially in the north and west parts of Huang-Huai-Hai area.

Regional Environmental Change | Year: 2014
El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) contributes to climate anomalies, especially those related to regional rainfall, which affect crop production. Although the North China Plain (NCP) is the most important agricultural production region in China, the impact of ENSO events on local climate and crop production has received only limited attention. Therefore, the impact of different phases of ENSO on local climate and production of winter wheat and summer maize, both rain fed and irrigated, was investigated at three sites using the agricultural production systems simulator model. Data on daily temperature, precipitation, and sunshine hours for 50 years (1956-2006) were analysed to build climate scenarios for three categories of ENSO: years with El Niño events, years with La Niña events, and neutral years. The pattern of climate change was generally similar across the three sites: annual precipitation decreased slightly and annual mean sunshine hours decreased significantly, whereas annual mean minimum temperature increased significantly, leading to a significant increase in mean air temperature. Precipitation decreased and temperature and sunshine hours increased in both El Niño and La Niña years but remained stable in neutral years. Under full irrigation, the probability of exceeding distribution that crop yield would be higher was not markedly affected (P > 0.05), although the yields in both El Niño and La Niña years differed markedly from those in neutral years, especially in maize. Under rain-fed conditions, the yield of maize was decreased greatly (P < 0.05), the probability distribution of such reduction being the highest in La Niña years at all the sites (P < 0.05). At the provincial level, yields from well-managed fields differed (P > 0.05) with the ENSO category: production of maize was more vulnerable than that of wheat in El Niño and La Niña years. El Niño and La Niña had similar effects on climatic variables across the NCP: low yields in El Niño and La Niña years due to lower precipitation and high yields in neutral years due to longer sunshine hours and additional irrigation. © 2013 The Author(s).

Remote-sensing technology features and the environmental elements of surface complexity together determine mixed pixels in remote- sensing images. Many mature methods of hyper spectral mixed-pixel decomposition are available, but research on the multispectral decomposition of mixed pixels are rare. The purpose of this study is to decompose mixed pixels based on their multispectral imaging characteristics. Hyperspectral images with high spectral resolution may benefit from the spectral unmixing of end-members. By contrast, FY3 multispectral (MERSI) image shavea lower spectral resolution but a higher temporal resolution. Thus, MERSI-EVI time series is introduced in this paper to decompose mixed pixels. The basic parameters of the experiment areas are as follows: study area: Hebi City, Henan Province, China; data: 79 MERSI images acquired from May 1, 2013 to October 15, 2013 (89 days had no data) and a Landsat 8 OLI image of the year; purpose: extraction of 2013 corn acreage from the data images. First, the remote-sensing images were processed, and the support-vector-machine classification method was used to extract information on farmlands with the use of a Landsat 8 OLI image. Then, SG-filtered MERSI time-series images were used to calculate EVI; the EVI growth curves of the mixed pixels and the crop end-numbers were then generated. The end-members were determined by field investigation. Corn is the main crop in the area. A total of 14 corn end-members were evenly selected in the space. Then, using the traditional method, the 14 corn end-members were combined with other end-members for unmixing. Finally, the spectral angle matching (SAM) method was used to improve the accuracy of the decomposition and adaptively select the most similar corn end-member with mixed pixels. In this case, a growth curve was used instead of a spectral curve. The results of the traditional decomposition methods vary widely; the extracted corn acreage ranges from 191.90 km2 to 574.83 km2, whereas the generated corn acreage of the new decomposition method is 589.95 km2. The 2013 summer corn acreage in Hebi City is 780.39 km2. Thus, compared with the best result generated by the traditional methods, the relative accuracy of the new method is improved by 2%. This study shows that using vegetation growth curves to decompose mixed pixels is effective for multispectral images. Of course, this study focused on plains, where crop planting structure is relatively simple. For areas with complex geographical environments and/or planting structures, the performance of the proposed method has yet to be confirmed. © 2016, Science Press. All right reserved.

Sea surface temperature (SST) is one of the most important variables related to the global ocean-atmosphere system, which play an important role in studies of air-sea heat exchange, upper ocean processes, and weather forecast. SST data are routinely measured from ships, buoys and offshore platforms. In this paper, the weekly 4 km resolution AVHRR SST data (1985-2006), the weekly 4 km resolution MODIS SST data (2002-2007) and the daily 25 km resolution AMSR-E SST data (2002-2007) are chosen for merging. These SST data are derived from different Remote Sensors with different spatial and temporal resolution. By merging these SST data, we can get a new SST product and obtain more information. The bayesian hierarchical model using Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) simulation methods was used to merging the thermal infrared MODIS SST data and passive microwave AMSR-E SST data. The results show that merged SST data have a better completeness than MODIS SST and AMSR-E SST products. Comparing merged SST data with drift buoy SST, the validation result shows that the bias is 0.32118K and RMSE is 0.8026K. © 2010 Copyright SPIE - The International Society for Optical Engineering.

Based on the XML data streaming transformation technology, a streaming transformation method is proposed for transforming GML to GeoOWL. Firstly, an element mapping transformation model is built by analyzing the mapping between GML elements and GeoOWL elements, then it is described using STX, finally the method is implemented using streaming transformation technology. Experiments show that our method is accurate, efficient and less memory is consumed, thus suitable for large GML file transformation.

In recent years, remote sensing images obtained by different types of optical sensors from a ground platform are applied to crop-weed discrimination and serve variable-rate technology in precision agriculture. Classification accuracy in remote sensing is influenced by spatial scale, so choosing the optimal spatial scale can be helpful for field data acquisition. Influences of spatial scale on classification accuracy in remote sensing are mainly originated from two factors: one factor is mixed-pixel and the other factor is spectral variability. Both aggravated mixed pixel caused by a larger spatial scale and aggravated spectral variability caused by a smaller spatial scale will result in classification accuracy reduction in remote sensing. For geographic entities in remote sensing images have inherent spatial attribute and spectral attribute, a spatial scale exists which can minimize the net effect of both mixed-pixel and spectral variability. Under this spatial scale, pixels can have optimal spectral identifiability. An approach for the selection of optimal spatial scale using a spectral angle mapper to measure the net effect of both mixed-pixel and spectral variability was proposed for crop-weed discrimination. The basic thinking of optimal spatial scale selection based on spectral angle mapper is as follows: using the average spectra calculated from a great amount of pure pixels belonging to one kind of ground object as the reference spectra for this kind of ground object, the spectra of each pixel could be regarded as the sum of its reference spectra and the net effect of mixed-pixel and spectral variability. Then, the spectral angle between the pixel spectra under different spatial resolutions and its reference spectra might be calculated to measure the net effect of mixed-pixel and spectral variability. The pixel will have optimal spectral identifiability when the net effect is least, and in this case, the spatial scale is the optimal scale. The proposed approach was realized in one field image. The geographic entities in the image were objectified. The optimal spatial scale was 0.48 cm by using the spatial scale selection method based on a spectral angle mapper. The relationship between the area and shape indexes of the target object and its optimal spatial scale was analyzed theoretically. For other field scenes, the finding can provide a reference for optimal spatial scale selection by calculating the area and shape indexes of plant objects.

Take the next step in your Cash Flow Journey
Join a small group of local Denver area business owners and entrepreneurs as we explore new ways to generate consistent, predictable and sustainable cash flow.
Our Cash Flow Mastery Platinum group meets every month, usually on the 3rd Tuesday of the month from 8:30am - 11am at our training center in Centennial, CO.
88% of business owners struggle with inconsistent cash flow.
In fact, lack of cash flow is the #1 reason that businesses fail. We're here to stop all that for you and every business owner willing to roll up their sleeves and learn how to stop the cycle of 'hand-to-mouth' and 'robbing Peter to pay Paul'.
It all has to do with learning how to monitor the right numbers in your business, then setting up simple processes and systems that generate consistent results. That's what you'll get from joining our group.
Cash Flow Mastery Platinum blends the best elements of a mastermind group with the analytical actionability of a 20 group, allowing you to come away from every meeting with action strategies... and the means to implement them quickly to generate positive results.
Our goal: Positive, permanent results in your cash flow within 30 days!
PLUS... Live Q&As - every month!
You might be facing a unique issue in your business, one where how to best move forward isn't crystal clear. We're listening... and ready to offer assistance through the live group Q&A sessions. Every month members will be invited to ask questions or pose problems that we'll address with practical solutions. You'll learn how others are applying Cash Flow Engineering in their businesses - what's working, how they've done it, and what results they're getting - so you can apply 'best practices' into your daily routine.
Join me along with a small group of like-minded local business owners in Cash Flow Mastery for just $298/month.
Included with Mastery–Platinum:
Mastery–Platinum: $298/mo
Dear Business Owner -
If you're feeling alone, you aren't. If you're thinking that you'd love to do this, but that you'll probably not use it, rest assured, you will. And if you're worried that this course won't meet your expectations or that you won't see results, then stop worrying: you will see massive results, and quickly.
Here's why:
We've all signed up for things with great intentions... but little commitment. (Did I hear "gym membership?") Most of those choices were prompted by either guilt or shame ("I know I should do better" or "I hate how out of shape I'm getting..."). Those motivators NEVER WORK, not on your kids, not on you.
So, don't join this program from a sense of guilt or embarrassment. Instead, join because getting control of your cash flow is something you want - it will change your life - and you WON'T have to do things that are uncomfortable (like sit-ups) or be compared to some jock that makes everybody look bad.
Getting control of your cash flow is in essence getting control of your life - your time, your energy and your freedom to what you want with every moment of your day. Most business owners that master Cash Flow Engineering find that they spend less time and energy managing their companies once they have these systems in place - many no more than a few hours per week. Their time becomes their own to enjoy family, or to devote attention to growing their companies and finding new opportunities rather than dealing with the day to day issues and "putting out fires".
If that's you - and that's what you want from your business - then you'll eagerly consume everything we share with you, apply it... and reap the benefits.
And here's our promise: If within the first 30 days you aren't blown away with what you get from this program, then simply email us (email@example.com) and we'll stop your membership and refund your first month's dues. After that, you can withdraw at any time. It's that simple.
You either want it, or you've already decided that this isn't for you. No excuses, no "yeah, but...".
We look forward to sharing with you and helping you get where you want to be with your business. That's why we're here.

Liquidity ratios are used to help assess whether a business has sufficient cash or equivalent current assets to be able to pay its debts as they fall due within the year. A business that finds that it does not have the cash to settle its debts becomes insolvent. The formula for the acid test ratio is Current Assets minus Inventory, divided by Liabilities. The reason is that not all assets can liquidated into cash at fair market value. Notably, raw materials and large inventories of product must first be sold, and then cash collected from debtor accounts.
The Acid Test Ratio, sometimes also called the Quick Ratio, adjusts the Current Ratio to eliminate those current assets that are not already in cash form. An acid test ratio of over 1.0 is good news, as it indicates that the business is able to pay its debts even if it cannot turn inventories into cash. Care has to be taken when interpreting the acid test ratio. The value of inventory that a business needs to hold will vary considerably. For example, you wouldn't expect a law firm to carry inventory, but a major supermarket carries a large dollar value of inventory at any given time. Beyond major requirements within the financial management department, you may consider Sonoma State University preparation as a complementary elective to your primary course of study.
