The law
San Diego Municipal Code 27.3564(b): "It is unlawful for any city official to engage in campaign-related activities, such as fundraising, the development of electronic or written materials, or research, for a campaign for any elective office using city facilities, equipment, supplies, or other city resources."
San Diego City Councilwoman Marti Emerald last week used her official city email account to send a news release announcing that she plans to run for election in the council's new District 9.
The municipal code states that it is "unlawful for any city official to engage in campaign-related activities ... for a campaign for any elective office using city facilities, equipment, supplies or other resources."
The law, intended to keep taxpayer money from being used for campaign purposes, specifically prohibits the development of electronic or written materials using city resources.
Emerald's news release issued Friday morning had the city's official seal in the top left corner and looked similar in design to other official releases from her office.
Titled "Council member Emerald to run in District 9," it listed Emerald's chief of staff, Don Mullen, as the media contact, including his city work email.
The Watchdog asked Emerald and Mullen to comment on the legality of the release Wednesday. Mullen released the following statement:
"The press release in question directly relates to council member Emerald's official duties and is in response to the many inquiries that her office has received from constituents and the media regarding her recent move, the redistricting process and their impact on her representation as a council member. The release is in accordance with her earlier reported commitment to make a clarifying statement about her residence and future plans after the final redistricting map was approved."
Emerald's announcement came a day after the San Diego Redistricting Commission voted unanimously on a final map that redraws the boundaries for the eight existing City Council districts to make room for a ninth. She currently represents District 7, which includes Allied Gardens, City Heights, College Area, Del Cerro, Grantville, Rolando and Tierrasanta, but the district was split in half by the redistricting commission.
After the 2012 election cycle, the new District 9 will comprise portions of four other districts, which caused some significant shifts in the lines for the former districts. Its neighborhoods will include City Heights, College Area, El Cerrito, Kensington, Mount Hope, Mountain View, Rolando, Southcrest and Talmadge.
Like Emerald, City Councilman Todd Gloria's future was affected by the changes. He plans to move so he can continue representing District 3.
Unlike Emerald, Gloria didn't use his current office as the outlet to announce his decision. He discussed his intentions online via Facebook and Twitter and didn't appear to use any city resources.
Stacey Fulhorst, executive director of the Ethics Commission, said she couldn't comment on Emerald's use of city email or if it was being investigated. The commission has a policy of not commenting on cases until a matter is closed. Asked in general about the use of city emails for campaign purposes, Fulhorst said, "The city's ethics ordinance prohibits candidates and city officials from using city resources for campaign-related activity."
If she violated the law, Emerald wouldn't be the first San Diego elected official to run afoul of the city's campaign laws after a move involving city government emails.
City Councilman Carl DeMaio was fined $1,500 after his 2008 campaign sent emails to the sandiego.gov addresses of 90 city workers asking them to attend a fundraising event. Former City Attorney Michael Aguirre also received a $1,500 fine for his failed 2008 re-election bid after his campaign asked 133 city workers for donations via their work emails. In both cases, the city workers were a small fraction of an email distribution sent to thousands of potential donors.
Campaign laws prohibit candidates from directly or indirectly soliciting a contribution from persons they know to be city employees.
The Ethics Commission levied a $3,000 fine against Emerald last year after she failed to report in a timely fashion $50,000 in bonuses she owed her campaign consultant and a fundraiser after winning the 2008 election. Emerald disclosed the bonuses in July, five months after the reporting deadline.Copyright © 2017, The San Diego Union-Tribune

"The Woodbeck Team far exceeded every expectation I had! I initially contacted them to discuss selling our house in a year or so. After sitting down with Jessica and hearing about their process, we decided to go ahead with selling our house then instead of waiting. After that, everything happened so quick! Their staging expert assessed our home and provided us with a room by room guide of suggestions to get our home sold fast and for top dollar. Jessica then sold our house the second day it was on the market for THOUSANDS over asking price! Everything happened just as fast with Justin. After meeting with him to discuss what we were looking for in a new home, he knew exactly what we were looking for. We only had to look at 5 houses before we found the one, and our offer was accepted without any back and forth. The Woodbeck Team is AMAZING!!!"

Review for Town & Country Toyota Body Shop
Robert V. on 12/26/2013
Robert said he was not satisfied with the quality of the repair because there are bumps in the paint. They called him and said they were on track to get completed on Wednesday as promised but that was not the day that was promised. He chose not to elaborate on the reason for the delay. His vehicle was returned to him dirty with all of the body stuff still inside. The person who did the estimate was pushy. He would not recommend this business for the reasons mentioned.

Unanswered: Multiple rate table question
I am trying to rebuild a country club billing program in MS Access to send monthly statements to club members. There are several types of members that are billed at a different membership rate based on their member classification. Is there a way I can calculate the members monthly balance based on a matching field in a multiple rate table. Thanks for any help in advance!

Chinese HSR Producers Accused of Copying Technology
Chinese rail companies that were once junior partners with the likes of Kawasaki Heavy Industries Ltd., Siemens AG, Alstom SA and Bombardier Inc. are vying against them in the burgeoning global market for super-fast train systems. From the U.S. to Saudi Arabia to Brazil and in China itself, Chinese companies are selling trains that in most cases are faster than those offered by their foreign rivals.
The progression of China's high speed rail business is reflected in Gov. Schwarzenegger's announcement that California may seek Chinese help in construction of its own high speed rail network.
China acknowledges that the trains its own companies are now selling were developed using foreign technology. But officials say domestic companies like China South Locomotive & Rolling Stock Industry (Group) Corp., or CSR, added their own innovations that make the final product Chinese. "China's railway industry produced this new generation of high-speed train sets by learning and systematically compiling and re-innovating foreign high-speed train technology," the Railways Ministry said in a faxed response to questions.

My apologies. I had about three different post ideas (weird things people ask me about being a homeschooler, some random quotage from my sister, the "oh well I'll use something else oh look here is that thing I was looking for" syndrome... which one sounds best? Just for future reference)... But do you get to read any of them?
Of course not. Why would I give you guys, my amazing readers, anything that was actually interesting?!
That would be crazy.
No, I'm going to fill up my blog with more useless ramblings and apologies.
What has Angela possibly done that requires her to apologize?
That never happens.
But, actually, I know it's shocking, but I do have to apologize.
Because I won't be posting for the next 2 / 2 1/2 weeks.
Becuase I'm going to be in Wisconsin, without internet*... And yeah. I won't be posting.
I'm so sorry.
You're going to have to live without my useless talks about pretty much everything and anything and nothing that happens to be going on in my life, mind, imagination, any of the beforementioned in someone else's mind, random quotage from books, and videos from youtube, and the random crap that just jumps out of my mind and onto the computer in form of a blog post and did that make any sense at all?
Yet more Angela-isms.
Anyway, I'm going to be gone, so expect no posts from me, and that's about all. :P
Oh, and a last bit of random quotage...
"Reality is a lovely place, but I wouldn't want to live there" ~ The Real World by Owl City
I was going to have a random YouTube video, but I feel too lazy to go find one.
*Heck, I won't even have a computer. Having internet but no computer would be like having an icecream scooper without the icecream. A pizza pan without the pizza. A bookshelf without books. The cover of a book without the actual book. A digital camera without batteries. The TARDIS without The Doctor. A t-shirt without scissors. A potato chip bag without chips. Anything without a notebook. A blog without a blogger. A...
Do you get the point?

Picture: Lionel Messi was surrounded by 5 AC Milan players for Barcelona opener
And to think that in the build up to Barcelona's rout of AC Milan we were told Lionel Messi was enduring a slump.
It was Messi's fastest goal ever in a Champions League match, beating his previous best of nine minutes against Bayern Munich in 2009.
Barcelona's opener, which really set the tone, also happened to be Lionel Messi's first goal against an Italian team in 10 matches.
The pictorial evidence that came immediately after Lionel Messi crashed in the first past Abbiati showed just how brilliantly the Argentine had done to get a shot away in the first place.
A couple of pictures below, followed by GIF of Messi's Golazo.

Warner to Bow Straight-to-Video Fare30 May, 2006 By: Erik Gruenwedel
Warner Bros. Home Entertainment Group and Warner Bros. Pictures are collaborating to develop up to 15 straight-to-DVD feature films annually with budgets less than $5 million each.
The unit also will acquire third-party straight-to-DVD titles across all genres.
Initial production calls for a sequel to last year's $80 million Jessica Simpson commercial hit, The Dukes of Hazzard, which could hit retailers by the end of the year, according to a Warner spokesperson.
With less than 10% of the original film's theatrical budget, Simpson and co-stars Johnny Knoxville and Seann William Scott are not slated to appear in the sequel.
Kevin Tsujihara, president of WBHEG and Jeff Robonov, production president at Warner Bros. Pictures, would oversee the yet un-named business unit, which is planned to be operational by August with separate executive director, marketing, creative and business staffs.
Although not new to Hollywood, other major studios, including Warner Bros., already have straight-to-DVD strategies in place but would mark the first time a major allocated significant personnel and resources to such an endeavor.
Last month, Warner Home Video tapped filmmakers from "24," "The X-Files" and The Blair Witch Project, when launching a new film line called Raw Feed, which would generate three sub-$5 million DVD titles, including Rest Stop, slated for retail release in the fourth quarter.
"We'd like to put together slates that have a mixture of genres," Tsujihara told the Los Angeles Times.

National Australia Bank third quarter profit lifts to $1.5 billion
National Australia Bank has revealed a small rise in quarterly profits, as the number of bad loans dropped and its UK business improved slightly.
NAB has revealed a 2 per cent rise in unaudited cash earnings for the third quarter, to $1.5 billion dollars.
Revenue rose by 1 per cent, which the bank says reflects an increase in mortgages.
NAB chief executive Cameron Clyne says there are signs the bank's marketing strategy is working.
"The success of that strategy remains evident in our personal banking business, which continues to benefit from mortgage market share gains," he said in a statement.
"While operating conditions for business banking are challenging, with ongoing weak confidence and subdued volumes, NAB remains strongly committed to supporting business customers."
The cost of running the business rose though, as it implements changes and puts more money aside for its UK bank.
Like with the other major banks that have reported NAB's seen a drop in the number of bad loans, which it says is down 10 per cent.
NAB's shares have fallen in morning trade.
At 10:20am (AEST), they were down 0.6 per cent to $31.37.

Jimmy Slyde (James Titus Godbolt), (born Oct. 2, 1927, Atlanta, Ga.—died May 16, 2008, Hanson, Mass.), American tap dancer who was a master of rhythm tap, in which the dancer's feet become a percussion instrument, with intricate footwork accentuating the dancer's chosen rhythm. He had a smooth style, in which he would glide across the floor with minimal but effective body movement, accentuating his musicality and impeccable timing. Slyde began his career with performances in clubs and then in the 1970s moved to Paris, where he helped introduce rhythm tap and, in 1985, appeared in the Black and Blue revue. He accompanied that show to Broadway in 1989. He also appeared in the films The Cotton Club (1984), 'Round Midnight (1986), and Tap (1989) and in the 1990s hosted weekly jam sessions of tappers at a New York City nightclub. Among Slyde's many honours were a National Heritage fellowship from the National Endowment for the Arts (1999) and a Guggenheim fellowship (2003).

Djokovic survives scare to beat Stepanek
Novak Djokovic survived the shock of losing the first set to beat Czech Radek Stepanek 4-6 6-2 6-2 6-2 to reach the fourth round of Wimbledon on Friday.
With the All England Club still abuzz following Rafa Nadal's shock loss to Lukas Rosol on Thursday, top seed Djokovic was broken out of the blue by Stepanek in the 10th game to drop the first set.
The world number one from Serbia quickly recovered, however, breaking 28th seed Stepanek in the first game of the second set and he never looked back, sealing victory on his first match point with a clinical crosscourt backhand winner after two hours 50 minutes.
The defending champion will play his fellow Serbian Viktor Troicki in the last 16.

mTBI and Concussion
Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) is the result of a blunt blow, jolt or blast overpressure to the head that disrupts brain function. The terms mild TBI (mTBI) and concussion are commonly used interchangeably, and have been linked with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. The severity of head injuries range from a brief change in mental status or consciousness to extended unconsciousness and amnesia. In severe or multiple concussion cases, personality changes can occur with devastating results.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that at least 3.17 million Americans currently have a long-term or lifelong need for help to perform activities of daily living as a result of a TBI. Currently there is no accepted clinical method to objectively detect mTBI.
Our Solutions
Note: Investigational use only. Neuro Kinetics, Inc. does not have FDA clearance for
mTBI or concussion indications.
NKI's comprehensive I-Portal® neuro-otologic test devices are in wide use as a diagnostic tool for early disease detection by audiologists, ENT's, neuro-otologists, neuro-ophthalmologist, and neurologists all over the world. The same multimodal tool is being used in research investigations to detect mTBI and to monitor recovery from head trauma.
The I-Portal® tests are neuro-physiologic; measuring the eye's response to various motion, oculomotor, and optokinetic stimuli. Early data shows I-Portal® tests can detect abnormalities resulting from head trauma even when structural imaging technologies show no damage. The test battery also suggests the data is significantly more objective than current neuro-psychological tests that rely partially on patient self diagnosis.
NKI is collaborating with military and sports medicine researchers to study new methods to objectively diagnose and monitor blast and blunt force head trauma.Our battery of tests can help examiners make better return to play and return to duty decisions.

The Sanger Family of Wines are three brands united to share the Mediterranean wine experience as we enjoy it here on the Central Coast. Consilience, Tre Anelli, and Marianello share a heritage that is equal parts California Central Coast and Old World, with each producing unique wines.
The brands united as The Sanger Family of Wines in December 2013 and are based in Los Olivos, California.
Most of the fruit used by the wineries known as The Sanger Family of Wines is grown in the Santa Ynez Valley, on California's Central Coast. The gently rolling hills are close enough to the ocean to benefit from the cool night breezes, but the vineyards are far enough inland so heat can build up over the course of the day. This temperature swing (as much as 30˚ in a 24-hour period) provides perfect conditions – long and slow – for ripening of the grape varieties we use.

April 6th, 2006, 10:41 AM #1Product link search: reporting question
I'm trying to find reasons why some of my best performing products are not producing and when tiring to search for these products via the product search I can not find them, yet they are available with the merchant. This leads me to a question.
If the products are not available in the search for product link, do the links in place track properly? Nothing is showing up in the invalid report , but these products have performed much better than they have recently. (each link would go to the advertiser and I know for a fact some advertisers do not report OOS items as invalid)
I'm looking for comments from feed based sites...are you up down or even on your click to sales?
...just looking for answers.
April 6th, 2006, 11:14 AM #2
I've added new products by pulling the item ID from the store site... long before they became available in the CJ interface. Sales definitely track; who knows if that is on a merchant by merchant basis, though. My conversion rate is down a small bit for April but it is certainly within the realm of averages and one of my big merchants has a lame coupon this month... so I'd say right on track.
April 6th, 2006, 11:34 AM #3
sounds like your using a redirected url destination...is that correct? I'm talking about using the data feed to create a product link. I data feed link will have a different aid, that i fear is not tracking when the product does not show in a product search.
April 6th, 2006, 11:46 AM #4
Ah yea you're right. Both feeds I was thinking of use redirected URLs for all of the links.
April 6th, 2006, 12:05 PM #5
when you say feed do you mean link? I'm using a full list of available products or data feed to create my links, not just using a link from their program after defining a landing page of choice.
April 6th, 2006, 12:11 PM #6
Yep yep, I build sites with datafeeds... downloaded from CJ FTP or from the merchant themselves-- tab delimited XLS or CSV files. With both merchants where I've added my own items before they make it to the feed, both feeds use the URL redirection method rather than a proper item link.
example line from one of CJ's feeds:
MERCHANT http://www.merchant.com/?source=CJ 02/13/2006 04:27:56 PM ... /click-1110457-11111921?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.merchant.com%2Fstore%2Fen%2Fbrowse%2Fgo.jsp%3Furl%3D%252Fstore%252Fen%252Fbrowse%252Fsku_detail.jsp%253Fsource%253DCJ%2526id%253DCL-1020
April 6th, 2006, 01:21 PM #7
when all is done and the visitor is sent to the advertiser, you've used the link provided in the feed correct?
try doing a search for any given product you know produces and let me know if you can find it under a product search.
Thanks for taking time to help me problem solve this ;-)
April 6th, 2006, 01:30 PM #8
>>when all is done and the visitor is sent to the advertiser, you've used the link provided in the feed correct?
Correct. My sites build affiliate links by having a base URL and then it appends the itemID on to the end of the URL to form a proper redirect link so they look just like the feed links.
>>try doing a search for any given product you know produces and let me know if you can find it under a product search.
OK, I just searched for an item that I know I sell at least 1 of per day from that merchant above. The link I use is just like the one from the feed and it is the same link as the one produced from the product search. Evidently, all of their links use the redirect method even if you get them from the CJ product search.
>>Thanks for taking time to help me problem solve this ;-)
No problem!
April 6th, 2006, 01:40 PM #9
Glad to hear your product was found ;-)
Mine was not, which brought up the whole question. If the product is not found and the advertiser still sells this. Will a click on this link generate a trackable sale (clicks have been traking fine) or will the fact that the product is not avialable via the search somehow filter out the sale to nonreports ville?
I changed one link to a redirected link via a different AID and will know soon if non reporting is an issue in a case like this. Additionally it's encoded, so that is an extra wrinkel.
April 6th, 2006, 01:56 PM #10
OK I see your point
However, with that same product in question, there was a period of a few weeks when the item was not in the feed and was not in the product search. I had it on my site, added manually, and it was selling. I have a #1 Google slot for the product name so I added it as soon as it was available on the merchant's site. Hope that 1 example helps, maybe others will chime in.
April 6th, 2006, 02:04 PM #11
That is much closer to my original question ;-) i'll know more hopefully by tonight regarding my test link.
btw if your running a feed site, how did you know that the product was no longer available? I'm driving some ppc at my product, so i'm watching it close.
April 6th, 2006, 02:31 PM #12
I only do natural search, so out of date products aren't a big deal to me.. they get to the merchant's site and might browse around. The product in question is popular and goes out of stock once in a while, but the links still work. Sorry, I'm no help on that one.

It's here, it's here!
I imagine launching a business or a website or a new quilting show online is kind of like giving birth, only there are fewer surgical gloves and less screaming. Quilty launches today, and there are no nurses or whacks on the back, but there is a feeling of joy, of fear, of expecation.
It's just a little show. But it's our little show. And I'm very, very happy.
I hope you will all visit QNNtv.com and heyquilty.com to check it out. The first episode is up and the gettin's good. Be patient with us as we work out kinks in the website, here on the blog, and other items of business we haven't realized are kinked yet. Be patient with your host, too — I'm still learning right along with you. But all those caveats are immaterial in the end. We're just going for it at this point.
I know from experience that if you've got a basic grasp of the mechanics of quiltmaking, you can open a door to a world of comfort, peace, art, and enjoyment and it can never be taken away from you. Quilty was born out of my desire to help the people in my peer group (and beyond) discover just that. Quilts are American. They are people. They are stories; past and future. They're also wildly fun to make these days, what with all the ridiculously beautiful fabric out there, and the collective body of quilt knowledge available to us today. There's never been a better time to make a quilt and Quilty wants to encourage and help anyone, everyone do that.
So enjoy! There's a new episode each week. We're already planning the next batch, and the next, and the next. I was going to post a picture from the set but I think I'd rather post another picture of me at the sewing machine with my favorite doggie in the world: Scrabble. I call her "Scrabble Doo" and she calls me "Bark! Bark!" but we both think you should watch Quilty, friend Quilty on Facebook, and stick around for a spell.
Oh, Scrabble Doo.

I was speaking to the operator of a successful business the other day, asking him how he and his fellow franchisees earn their clients. He mentioned 10 ways: networking, referrals, and advertising are among them.
But one, he said, outperforms the rest: selling by telephone.
Businesspeople who make calls outpace their peers by a wide margin, he said, noting that he is the franchise system's top performer.
Why aren't more experienced business people emulating this fellow, using their people skills to meet and greet potential clients by phone? There are several reasons:
1. They're afraid of real-time rejection.
2. They believe the phone is a tainted tool.
3. They have low frustration tolerance.
4. They think there has to be an easier way!
5. They believe they come across poorly.
6. They believe phoning lacks dignity.
7. They believe their target market is deluged with calls.
8. They don't have a manageable database.
9. They lack an effective phone presentation.
10. They lack good phone training.
If you look at this list, at least half of the items result from psychological factors. Many people resist phoning because they needlessly beat themselves up and disparage the medium. That's what items 1-7 are all about—negative beliefs and judgments.
Instead of focusing on themselves, businesspeople should attend to the last three items: managing their database, devising an effective phone presentation, and getting good coaching and training. Address these challenges, and the first seven impediments will either go away, or be dramatically minimized.
Let's discuss these items briefly, and put them into proper perspective.
1. They're afraid of real-time rejection.
Most of us are rejected silently and indirectly. If we send out a zillion resumes, most will end up in the trash, but we don't feel that pain, directly. Nor do we hurt if we mail out as many business brochures, which meet the same fate. But when we empower someone to flatly say no, directly in our ear, it feels threatening. Rejection is usually not about us—at most it's about our offer, our value proposition, and how we have communicated it. So, there's no reason to take it personally. Attend to the real challenge: fix your message and how you're delivering it. (For a more complete discussion, please see my article, "Thanks For The Rejection!")
2. They believe the phone is a tainted tool.
As consumers, many of us have been bombarded by calls that have had little value. For years, it made economic sense for giant call centers to spray-and-pray. Now, with the ubiquity of answering devices, caller I. D. and effective anti-telemarketing legislation, these calls have been diminishing, but our negative attitude about them, persists. The phone, as a medium, is alive and well. We need to work on developing the message and the messenger.
3. They have low frustration tolerance.
There is a math-of-success in prospecting and selling. If you make fifty calls, you'll probably find ten people who will express some interest and be worth pursuing. After sending information to them, and following-up, three may still be interested, and of these, you might close one or two.
I'm just using these numbers as an example, because they point out that fifty tries might earn you one success. Let me tell you one of my favorite war stories about a guy who did much worse than this.
A Houston-based client of mine sells investments to institutions such as colleges and large banks. One of their commission salespeople worked from January through October without earning a sale. Literally, he made thousands upon thousands of calls, to no avail.
Every other salesperson was making at least some money, and a few were doing very well, but he struck out, left and right.
Then, in November, he got his first order of the year. It was so large that it made him a millionaire, on the spot.
He had high frustration tolerance, which is a trait worth developing! (For a fuller discussion, please refer to my audio seminar: "The Law of Large Numbers: How To Make Success Inevitable, " published by Nightingale-Conant. )
4. They think there has to be an easier way!
The other night, at a meeting of business professionals, I was discussing marketing with a consultant. He beamed that he got a client four years after initially meeting him at a mixer. Networking is his favorite way to get business.
I agree, networking can be pleasant but it's just too unpredictable. Waiting for the phone to ring only seems easy. In my experience, it is harder than proactively selling someone, which permits much greater control and instant feedback.
5. They believe they come across poorly over the phone.
True enough, when you hear certain people over the phone, there's much less than meets the eye. Their voices may be inherently unpleasant, squeaky or gravelly, or their articulation may be flawed.
But most people don't suffer from these ills, and even non-radio announcer voices can be enhanced through training, while others can be improved with medical help.
(6) They believe phoning lacks dignity.
Some aristocratic businesspeople feel that phoning is simply too far beneath their social station to be permissible for them to do. They equate it to begging.
All I can say is that the dignity in phoning is equal to the dignity you bring to it. If you sound impressive, and credible, you'll generally encounter fair treatment.
(7) They believe their target market is deluged with calls.
I've been in business over twenty years, and the cold calls I receive today are significantly less than ever before. I suspect fewer people are making business-to-business calls, if only because they don't know how to penetrate voice mail systems and call screening.
(8) They don't have a manageable database.
Calling isn't merely about dialing and smiling. It's about getting organized to call and being able to capture information about the calls you've made.
The first challenge is to get a good list of prospects. Once you have that, you should load it into one of the many inexpensive database programs offered by software sellers.
By tackling these tasks, you'll be able to be productive and you won't have the time or interest in wallowing over your rejection rate. You'll be able to measure it, and improve upon it.
(9) They lack an effective phone presentation.
You need to write, or hire a pro to write a good script.
No matter how glib you are, you should know exactly what you're going to say to get through screening, to leave a captivating message on voice mail, to greet a real-time human, to credibly introduce yourself, to state your basic offer, to earn a commitment from the listener, to confirm the progress you made in the call, and to identify the next step to come.
Without a script, you'll ramble, seem disorganized, invert the order of what you say, and hopelessly change your talk from one contact to the next. That way, you'll be unaware of what's working, what's failing, and what you need to change.
A script mustn't sound stilted or canned, and you need to make yours seem fresh and spontaneous. But when you do, it will serve you very well.
(10) They lack good phone training.
I had the luxury of being trained by my father, who was superb at making cold calls to develop his advertising, radio, and TV ventures. He'd phone from home, and I'd listen, fascinated by his ability to adjust to different people.
In college, I worked as a full-time collector for a finance company, and then I became top salesperson and a manager at Time-Life Books. Later, with a Ph. D.in Communications, I started training others as a consultant.
I've found that some people are "naturals" over the phone—but they're rare. Most need to be trained and coached, to develop their skills.
But once they have them, they feel as I do: I could land in any place in the world where I speak the language, pick up the phone, and prosper.

Name the person who has given the 'Doctrine of Lapse'.
The Doctrine of Lapse was an annexationpolicy purportedly devised by Lord Dalhousie, who was the Governor General for the East India Company in India between 1848 and 1856. According to the Doctrine, any princely state or territory under the direct influence (paramountcy) of the British East India Company (the dominant imperial power in thesubcontinent), as a vassal state under the British Subsidiary System, would automatically be annexed if the ruler was either "manifestly incompetent or died without a direct heir".[1] The latter supplanted the long-established right of an Indian sovereign without an heir to choose a successor. In addition, the British decided whether potential rulers were competent enough. The doctrine and its application were widely regarded by many Indians as illegitimate.

The Way Home to Love:
A Guide to Peace in Turbulent Times
The discourses in this book interpret the sacred mysteries and esoteric principles of spiritual understanding – Maresha provides the tools to deal with the difficulties that obstruct the flow of love. The chapters in this book are a selection of talks distilled from discourses delivered by Maresha to students who came to be in sanctuary. It also explores the themes of personal practice in consciousness and how one can find the keys to inner peace.
If Jesus, Buddha, Krishna, Muhammad and the Divine Mother were to meet in conversation, what would each think of the other's spiritual points of views? Maresha has been engaged in a decade's long dialogue between the many comparative traditions and distills the essence of unity and understanding that are at the heart of all spiritual traditions.
Composed in a state of meditative awareness and with lucid clarity, Maresha explores the intersection of what is universally sacred and how to find within oneself this wellspring of love and peace. This book is designed to help the reader successfully reveal the peace that dwells within one's own heart. This body of teaching transcends religion by extracting the essential, wisdom teachings that are the foundational guide to the power of personal transformation.
The book is available for purchase at:
amazon.com OR balboapress.com

It will help you to strengthen and renew your spiritual core, and to balance your life. With her dedication, her integrity and her depth of experience, Maresha was born for these times."
~ Steven McFadden is author of Farms of Tomorrow, Profiles in Wisdom, Odyssey of the 8th Fire, and other works.
As seekers, we look at the world from within, with conscious awareness, which gives us an alternative understanding of the nature of this life. We are encouraged, through this contemplative lifestyle, to know our nature more deeply so we may realize inner freedom.
This freedom is the nature of the soul, as it is sensitive to and guided by the vibrations of The One. Paradoxically, as we develop inner consciousness, we are then ready to turn outward to what is happening in the world to discover how each one of us can contribute to the greater good of the whole.

Rated 3.5 / 5 stars
Good Puzzle.
I liked the puzzle, seems like something i could play for a long time. The only thing i think could use some improvement are the graphics, a more "cartoony" look might be nicer?
I like the controls and the concept, it works very well.
I didn't play all the way through it but some more varied goals or methods to reach those goals with be interesting.
KeyBoard Hero !! V2
Rated 2.5 / 5 stars
There's more to do still :)
It's better than the last time; but there are still some major things you could improve for the game to be really enjoyable:
1. Animations: It looks much better if the notes "explode" or something along those lines when you hit it. If you can do this, it would be a huge improvement.
2. Songs: You need more than one song. Consider using "Creative Commons" Licensed music, (from the newgrounds audio portal for example), because using copyrighted commercial songs might get you in a bit of trouble later.
3. Rythm: This kind of games are mostly made to fit the music. The various notes should be pressed at set times according to the music.
The game feels much more natural to play if you can HEAR when you're supposed to press a key.
4: Backgrounds: This one is fairly simple. Just add something in the background to fill the current black void. Doesn't have to be very fancy, just a picture of something.
These goals might be unreachable for you at the moment, but it's something you can work towards ;)
