Locate in Kent's 1,000th project coincides with its signing of a new three year contract with Kent County Council (KCC) and Medway Council, which will see the Ashford-based investment promotion organisation play a greater role in the county's economy development.
Following a successful bid to the European Union's European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) by KCC, Locate in Kent's work has also been given a financial boost. The new money is in addition to the funding support it receives from KCC, Medway Council, Kent Developers Group, and private sector partners such as Cripps, the county's largest law firm.
Announcing the new contract, Mark Dance, Cabinet Member for Economic Development & Regeneration at KCC, said: "As the UK looks to build a new relationship with Europe and the rest of the world, we must continue to attract new companies and support the growth of existing business. Locate in Kent is an integral part of the county's effort to create more jobs and a stronger economy."
Rodney Chambers, Cabinet Member for Inward Investment and Strategic Regeneration at Medway Council, added: "With the Government's commitment to growing the economy of the Thames Estuary, it is great to have Locate in Kent acting as the local champion and working with us to attract high quality jobs to Medway."
Locate in Kent will continue to promote the county as a business location, highlighting its excellent connectivity to London, mainland Europe and beyond, thanks to Southeastern's High Speed service, as well as the ports of Medway and Dover, Eurotunnel and international passenger stations at Ashford and Ebbsfleet.
Locate in Kent's wider remit will see the team work closer with existing businesses in the county to support their growth plans and the inward investment teams at the Department for International Trade (formerly UKTI).
It will also continue to work with businesses involved in the commercial property industry, and members of Kent Developers Group, in order to ensure the county has the right property available for new and existing businesses looking to grow in Kent.

Admit it, you were getting squeamish. You'd seen this movie before, and it ended with the good guys dying in the end.
The Cowboys built an impressive 31-3 lead on the Saints Sunday night. Comfortable? Sure. But then 31-10 became 31-17 in a matter of minutes and suddenly memories of last season's blown 26-3 lead in a home loss to the Packers started tapping on your sweaty forehead.
Thanks to the Saints' mind-boggling decision to attempt a fake punt, however, Dallas escaped with a routine rout rather than another epic collapse.
After a sack of Tony Romo, New Orleans took possession at their 40 with still eight minutes remaining. But then Drew Brees missed a wide open Kenny Stills. After the Saints committed a penalty for having 12 men in the huddle, Cowboys' cornerback Sterling Moore made an acrobatic breakup of a long pass intended for Jimmy Graham. After a short completion, New Orleans faced 4th-and-9 at its own 41. But needing two touchdowns to tie the game, coach Sean Payton put the ball not in the hands of Brees – but rather punter Thomas Morstead.
Instead of punting, Morstead faked a reverse and rolled right. The Cowboys sensed something fishy, but had only 10 players on the field. Didn't matter.
Because Tyrone Crawford chased Morstead, Brandon Carr blanketed intended receiver Josh Hill and Jack Crawford eventually sacked the punter for a 2-yard loss. It was the first full sack by a Cowboys' defensive linemen this season, and it allowed the Cowboys to breathe a sigh of relief.
For a change the Cowboys held onto a big lead. And the opposing head coach made a head-scratching decision.
A native Texan who was born in Duncanville and graduated from UT-Arlington, Richie Whitt has been a mainstay in the Metroplex media since 1986. He's held prominent roles on all media platforms including newspaper (Fort Worth Star-Telegram, Dallas Observer), radio (105.3 The Fan) and TV (co-host on TXA 21 and numerous guest appearances, including NBC 5). He currently lives in McKinney with his wife, Sybil, and two very spoiled dogs.

Here is the IBD 50 stocks investing strategies vs. $SPY. This analysis is from 1/1/2016 through 12/31/2016.
The weekly strategy is investing $10,000 at the beginning of the year and then reallocating every week to the top 5, 10, 25 or 50 IBD50 stocks.
The monthly strategy is investing $10,000 at the beginning of the year and then reallocating on the last day of the month in the top 5, 10, 25, or 50 IBD stocks.
IBD went from Daily to Weekends only in the middle of 2016, so I did the best I could, using whatever the most recent IBD 50 rankings were every week and month when it was time to invest.
Quick analysis: It's tough to beat the unmanaged index.
The Weekly Strategy total return for each strategy underperformed the SPY over the course of 2016. Concentrating into fewer stocks was worse than using all 50 stocks.
All strategies exclude dividends in the calculations.
The Monthly Strategy total return for each strategy also underperformed the SPY over the course of 2016. But using the top IBD 10 stocks was at least close.
All strategies exclude dividends in the calculations.
I will assume a $9.95 trading cost to sell last week's or last month's portfolio, and $9.95 to buy the new weekly or monthly portfolio. (Imagine the costs of doing this with individual stocks, compared to using Motif. Note that Motif limits the size of portfolios to 30 stocks).
The Top 25 holdings are listed at at Motif Investing.
None of the above strategies are a recommendation to buy or sell stocks. These are model portfolios constructed for entertainment only.
Each portfolio begins with $10,000 and then invests an equal amount in the top 5, 10, 25 and 50 IBD stocks at the closing prices on Friday for the weekly model, and at the closing prices on the last trading day of the month for the monthly model. Since IBD changes the make up of their top stocks daily, this will only rebalance on Fridays or end of month. It is assumed that trading costs are $9.95 to "buy" a model portfolio, and $9.95 to "sell" a model portfolio. Thus, each weekly or monthly rebalance out of the previous portfolio and into the new portfolio costs $19.90. Daily changes in the IBD 50 or stock rankings are not considered. Changes in IBD's overall market views are not considered. Stop loss orders or other market timing strategies are not considered. The value for SPY is based on buying at the closing price the last trading day of the preceding year.
Based on a blog entry from Paladin Money. See Investors Business Daily for more information on the IBD 50. See Motif Investing for their IBD Top 25 portfolio, and the ability to construct your own portfolio of stocks.
I apologize for any spreadsheet errors!

|Reviews for Mother
| Wren chapter 1 . 6/16
This is my favourite one of your pieces. So many emotions, especially in that lass line.
| twolostsouls25 chapter 1 . 3/20/2015
:) This was cute.
Since you've got those great Stones references for titles in Sympathy for the Devil and Ruby Tuesday, something in my mind went straight to Pink Floyd's 'Mother' when I read this title, even though the lyrics to that song have hardly anything to do with the premise of the story. Heheh.
Is it weird to say that I immediately thought of Jesus Christ Superstar when I saw the title for your other fic, 'Gethsemane'? Possibly just coincidence on both counts, but you made my inner music enthusiast quite satisfied
Haven't read it yet, but I kinda smiled when I saw the title.
| rmpcmfan chapter 1 . 2/25/2014
Being a mother, I found this hard to read, emotional but a mother would do anything for her child.
| jehabib1 chapter 1 . 12/20/2012
After Emily left she returned to Lily's parents' Facebook page, and picked out a still of the little girl wearing an apron with chocolate smeared on it. She sent it to one of the photo printers, and went to collect it. On returning to her office, Garcia put the printed photo into a frame, and set it beside the photos of Jack and Henry.
Well, that's depressing as shit...she can never be there for her like she is for Jack and Henry...
| ditzie-blonde chapter 1 . 4/29/2012
I had tears in my eyes by the end of this! I'm glad that Emily acknowledged Lily and told the time. The story was really well written and it's very honourable of Emily to insist that Lily stays hidden and for putting her child's needs first, although it's great that Emily can see glimpses into her child't life thanks to Garcia. I imagine finding out that you are the child of a spy and an international terrorist would definitely screw with you, even as an adult.
| Crowded Angels chapter 1 . 3/30/2012
I declare this to be canon. Nice insertion of the dream too.
fantastic piece.
| Crowded Angels chapter 1 . 3/29/2012
I declare this to be canon. Nice insertion of the dream too.
fantastic piece.
| FashionableRaid chapter 1 . 3/26/2012
omg so sad~!
| radioactive460 chapter 1 . 3/26/2012
Wow, this was so beautifully written and it sparked so many emotions in me. I was so heartbroken for Emily and the sacrifice she made for her daughter's safety; everything she gave up, every moment she missed and will continue to miss just gutted me. This is the epitome of strength, to do something you know is right, even when it kills you to do so.
Thank you for keeping Emily strong in her conviction that Lily should stay with her adopted family. I think this is true to her character as I cannot see Emily being that selfish after her original selfless act. As an adoptee myself, I cannot begin to imagine what it would have been like if my biological mother showed up out of the blue when I was a child.
It's funny this story was posted today because it is actually my birthday, and it's made me reflect on my own biological mother and her decision to give me up on this day, several untold years ago, to a loving couple who have loved and supported me in everything I do. For that I will be forever grateful to her. And I thank you for this unexpected birthday gift!
| LOVESxPAGET chapter 1 . 3/26/2012
Awww that's so sweet of morgan to say that :') I'm sure Garcia will convince Emily to get lily back :) can't wait for the next chapter :)
| fictionlove101 chapter 1 . 3/26/2012
OH MY... You had me in tears!
I hope you will do more with this. Maybe (just a suggestion) Emily could get Lilly some how. I don't know but I would love to read more!
| sarahb2007 chapter 1 . 3/26/2012
Ok I'm totally crying right now... Great start to this story. Have you thought of doing a sequel for closer? I hope you do decide to keep writing Ian/Emily because you're amazing at it! Update soon please

With so much conflict and upheaval in the world right now, it's women—especially pregnant women—who are facing some of the most devastating consequences of war and recession.
A few weeks ago, I visited Athens, Greece to celebrate the launch of "Mother and Child," a program of Doctors of the World - Greece, designed to help some of the most marginalized pregnant women in the region.* Greece is wrestling with a range of challenges, from an increase in immigrants and refugees to a struggling economy and soaring unemployment rates. In a country where nearly one-third of the population lacks healthcare coverage, pregnant women, specifically refugee women, are particularly vulnerable. The importance of this program and its potential impact didn't hit me until I visited a local refugee camp and met some of the displaced women these mobile units could ultimately help.
While walking through the camp, I was stunned by the number of people there already, and by the fact that more were expected to arrive. And when I saw the pregnant women and mothers of young children, overwhelming feelings of doubt really started to sink in. How could we possibly provide all these women with the health services they need?
But the health providers I met and the resilience they demonstrated was inspiring.
It was humbling to see how these dedicated health workers were able to maintain a sense of normalcy in a community created out of unnatural circumstances. Despite these families' terrifying experiences, uncertain futures and overall gloom our visit was punctuated with the sounds of laughing children and an underlying current of hope.
As I reflect on my time there, I'm reminded of this story: a child is walking on the beach where thousands and thousands of starfish have washed ashore. He sees an old woman carefully picking up one starfish after another and placing them back into the ocean in an attempt to save them. Puzzled by her actions, the child says, "Don't you realize there are miles and miles of beach covered in starfish and you can't possibly save them all. In fact, even if you work all day, your efforts won't make any difference at all." The old woman listened, bent down to pick up another starfish, and before placing it in the ocean, simply said, "It made a difference to that one."
This is why I'm passionate about Merck for Mothers. My team and I are extremely encouraged by the impact we are having in saving women's lives, but that excitement is oftentimes tempered by the sobering reality that we haven't reached all women in need. Right now, in addition to initiatives in India and sub-Saharan Africa, we're supporting programs throughout Europe - ranging from medical missions to digital health aids like the Safe Delivery App, in an effort to provide healthcare providers and women with the tools and resources they need before, during, and after childbirth.
Through Merck for Mothers, we now have the opportunity to further these efforts globally through the support of committed partners who understand that reaching one woman, especially those in disadvantaged areas, is just as powerful as reaching them all.
*This program is supported by funding from MSD, through MSD for Mothers.
12:04 PM on November 27, 2016
This is the first time I have heard about Merck for Mothers and I think that the effort of trying to provide healthcare to as many mothers as possible is truly making a difference. Maternal healthcare holds great significance in preventing preterm labor complications for both the mother and the infant. I think that the initiative towards improving maternal healthcare for the most disadvantaged women is something that more countries should implement. The Merck for Mothers program sets an example of how a group of hard working, and compassionate health providers can make a big difference in the lives of hundreds of people in need.

text: Hey, I know you guys are hungry for ISU football information, so I figured I'd give you some interesting stuff from Monday's press conference and some more personal interviews from Sunday. There's no point writing it if no one knows about it. Here is the link: Cyclone offense on edge after loss to Iowa Here is Bates' main quote, which refers to the third-and-5 play midway through the third quarter: "I didn't get the job done. I hesitated, and I didn't make a play when my team needed me to make a play, and that's a big thing for me. I go off of making plays, and that's what I want to do, and [Saturday] it was a big time for me to step up and make a play, and I didn't do it.†We're in the process of setting up a RSS feed for our football coverage. I read the board when I get a chance (during class), and feel free to email me at email@example.com if you have questions, thoughts - anything but spam. Usually my coverage is limited by the space in the paper and my time constraints, but I'm also setting up a blog to be able to report on all the smaller topics as well. My next story will be on Iowa State's struggles in short-yardage situations.

I am new at this and this is my first post. I had stage

Congrats on what is the most important, no evidence of disease (NED). That is great news.
I certainly believe with time and alot of effort your swallowing and speaking problems will get better, I took almost 20 months to get to a bearable point. You may have to have more dilations but hopefully not. I have a local friend that has had 13 and another who has only 4.
I did not get my trach until 12 plus years post treatment not because of the swelling. That was 30 months ago. Lets make this clear, it is not the most fun to deal with and certainly I would give it up if I could. The first year was the worst, but with time it has become a more bearable and what I call a part of my "New Normal". It certainly helps me breath much easier that before, I also rest better than prior to having it.
My important part of quality of life is being here, the few/many little bumps in road are all my new normal.
Welcome to the best place to get information and unconditional support.

thanks for your reply, what my problem is i was not fully aware of the
Dec 09, 2010 - 7:29 pm
This discussion comes up every once in awhile. Swelling and not being able to swallow. I have a question or two for you. Do you sleep laying flat at night? Did you have a neck disection? If so, how many Lymphnodes were removed ?
I ask these questions because if your Lymphnode system has been altered, the fluids don't move like they did before, causing the fluid to back up and build up in your face and neck area. There is a gentle massage and some stretching exercises that can be taught to you by a Cancer Physical Therapist and that will in turn reduce the swelling in the inside as well as the outside of your neck. This will help with the passageway so you will be able to eat orally again.
If you sleep in a flat position, the fluid then builds up in the neck area as well. You can purchase a foam wedge at different angles and elevate your back and shoulders somewhat and have you head above your heart level. During the day as we walk around, gravity helps us as the fluids will drain from our necks.
There was a gentleman on another site that had the same issues about 2 years ago. He did the exercise and massage and finally had the trach removed. He had his in for nearly a year before starting the exercises. Radiation also can cause alot of damage and change the DNA in our tissue.
My Best to You and Everyone Here

I did not have a disection however I do have lymphedema and I do the
Dec 09, 2010 - 9:40 pm
You came to the right place and have talked to well informed guys here, we all have had the trach, and I have dealt with what you have gone threw, Mine was Cancer 4, the doctor miss it 5 times and cut my vocal chords, and the tumor, my l/s larnyx is a goner, i lived with teh trach twice, and forstrope and I now how we both feel about this, I fought the dam thing, mentally I couldn't hack it, and finally won the battle, but i pay the price of running out of air, having to take it easy to catch up, I work part time and still can receive dissability, the first check comes next week, it's taken 6 months, I as a male the first time with the trach was given choices i am greatful I didn't take, I had one doctor who wanted to take everything out, why in the hell would you take the total vocal chord out? I can speak, I do have sinus build up at nights, humidifier, Robitussin, and water breaks the phlem. I know what you mean, society looks at us like whats that? I referred it to my PVC Piping. I agree with it you do gain air to breath easier, some haven't got that choice, they still would be my best friend with it, I sleep the best on my right side, i grow tired in the noon, but still, i ruined most my shirts with the trach, remember the gagging from tube hitting. Or i would tape the front with medical tape and by bypass that velcro strip that stood out like a flag, and got wet. Like I told the doctors, it's a different story when you walk the walk, there not having to do it we do and try to help the next guy out, I'm upset from what i was given, Hang in there, Marine and fistrophe and who ever here no what we go threw..anymore questions fire away...Dennis...Take Care Everyone, It took 6-8 for swelling to go down from radiation, maybe longer, but they tried to early with mine and infection set in and swelled my airwaves, they reinserted the trach, I started to ask the doctor for the shut off cap to see during the day i could breath ok, and progress to 24 hours, give it a shot, ask your doctor to see if you can handle it after your next scope...take care
Dec 10, 2010 - 2:01 pm
Sounds like you went through the ringer but you are doing much better. I am
Dec 10, 2010 - 8:50 am
Seems like you are doing all the right things and as many have mentioned in the past, we all heal at a different rate. The amount of Radiation that each of us receives plays a big part of the healing process as well. You have already mentioned that in your post.
I don't know what you do during the day as far as activity, but I found that if I got busy doing anything that required me to bend over and look under shelfing at work, my neck would really balloon up the next day. Then I would have to do the massage several times the following day. Lifting heavy boxes caused me to swell up also. Anytime we do any activity using our shoulder muscles, the blood flows to that area as well as the fluids from the lymph system. Just mentioning this for your knowledge. This was explained to me by my Physical Therapist years ago.
I too, hope that you will be able to rid yourself of the trach down the road.
My Best to You and Everyone Here
Dec 09, 2010 - 9:39 pm
I have a different type of cancer but I like many here would like to welcome you to the family here on CSN.
Dec 10, 2010 - 2:53 pm
They gave me a choice on the trach or not having it, without it has it's draw backs, but, i got tied of changing and cleaning, and then trying to talk with teh cap on leaking air was a constant pain, they want to try to tie back teh l's of my larnyx, to open it more, for more oxygen, draw back on this is i could flood my lungs, or lose what i have a fo a voice as of right now. As you can see this one Specialist really screwed things up for me, and tey told me now to even consider a lawsuit, money and time against a large hpsital will drain you dry in a heart beat, but it's sad he continues and I hope that too many have faced his skillful surgery techniqus..Hang in there Dennis

companies need to manage risk in the good times and the badMarch 2003
When one of the founder members of a club leaves unexpectedly, people are bound to start asking questions. So it is with Littlewoods, whose unheralded announcement that it is to leave the UK's flagship ethical trading programme in April has got a lot of NGO directors' backs up. Much the same response came from the NGO community when the US food company Dole said it was shrinking its CSR department in 2001, and Iceland similarly disappointed with its decision to concentrate on retailing rather than worthy causes.
In each case, the company had bigger and more immediately pressing problems on its plate. Littlewoods is no different. The company has just been given a hefty fine for price fixing by the Office of Fair Trading and profits are weak – £53million last year on turnover of £1.93billion. One of the reasons given by the founding family for the sale to the Barclay brothers last October was the feeling that the business had lost its way.
But a business in trouble still needs to manage risk, perhaps more so. Littlewoods says it thinks the best way to handle the social and environmental risks in its supply chain is to make department directors and buyers responsible for them, rather than a single department as in the past. It may be right. But its risk management record in this area under new ownership has so far been weak. Scrapping the ethical trading department, leaving the Ethical Trading Initiative and the Institute of Social and Ethical Accountability, and ending charitable donations is thought to have saved around £1.5m, but could end up costing the company a lot more. The news has leaked out clumsily and all at once, causing maximum embarrassment. Worse, Littlewoods has succeeded in antagonizing the very sector from where a future reputational challenge may originate. It has also effectively written off much of its investment, made over a long period, in managing risk in its supply chain.
At present it rather looks as though the new owners, for whatever reason, have decided to ditch key elements of the company's CSR programme as an unnecessary expense. If this is so, it will be an interesting test of the business case for CSR.

Toll-like receptor engagement converts T-cell autoreactivity into overt autoimmune disease
Autoimmune diabetes mellitus in humans is characterized by immunological destruction of pancreatic beta islet cells. We investigated the circumstances under which CD8(+) T cells specific for pancreatic beta-islet antigens induce disease in mice expressing lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus (LCMV) glycoprotein (GP) as a transgene under the control of the rat insulin promoter. In contrast to infection with LCMV, immunization with LCMV-GP derived peptide did not induce autoimmune diabetes despite large numbers of autoreactive cytotoxic T cells. Only subsequent treatment with Toll-like receptor ligands elicited overt autoimmune disease. This difference was critically regulated by the peripheral target organ itself, which upregulated class I major histocompatibility complex (MHC) in response to systemic Toll-like receptor-triggered interferon-alpha production. These data identify the 'inflammatory status' of the target organ as a separate and limiting factor determining the development of autoimmune disease.

And they took away their cattle
Which they brought with them, and they found in their camp when they fled, or in their fields:
of their camels fifty thousand;
with which Arabia abounded, and were fit to travel with in those hot and desert countries, being strong to carry burdens, and able to bear much thirst. The Arabians, as Diodorus Siculus F1 reports, brought up camels, for almost all the uses of life; as for the sake of their milk and flesh to feed upon, as well as for carrying burdens in common; and which in time of war they loaded with provisions for the army, and fought upon, one of them carrying two archers with their backs to each other, the one to meet the enemy in front, the other to annoy those that pursued them; and so the Parthians made use of camels both to fight on, and to carry provisions for their soldiers F2:
and of sheep two hundred and fifty thousand;
which these Hagarites kept both for food and clothing, and some of them might be now taken with them to supply their army; the Spartans carried sheep with them in their expeditions, as sacrifices to their gods F3; but it need not be supposed that these creatures, and those that follow, were in such large numbers with the Hagarites in the battle, but were afterwards found, partly in their camp, and partly in the places inhabited by them:
and of asses two thousand;
used to ride on, and carry loads, and also to plough with; and in all these lay the wealth of men in those times and countries, see ( Job 1:1 Job 1:3 )
and of men one hundred thousand;
so that they took captive above as many more as their army consisted of.

This can be some of the thinking going through a prospect's mind when first meeting the sales person. So let me ask you. Are these objections that have to be overcome or are they concerns that have to be satisfied? For the past 30 successful years I've never had to handle/nor overcome objections or close a sale. Now when I say this to sales people and sales trainers, many go into attack mode with statements such as "Obviously you've never had to sell" or "Theory is fine but you don't operate in the real world" or "I don't think your sales training applies, so I wouldn't even bother listening to you". Then comes the justification "Objections are smoke screens, so you have to find the true objection" or "It's a nonsense saying that by doing great selling work that you'll never have an objection" or "There are definitively and certainly objections to face. And there are not "some" ways to handle objections. There is only one way" or "There are only two objections in the world a) I can't see it working for me and b) I can't afford it" or "Objections are part of the sales process" or "You have to be pretty dumb NOT to understand that something is standing in the way of the sale…that is the OBJECTION we are talking about!"Now I've heard all this even before someone has asked me how I don't have to deal with objections. And this is coming from people who will say that you have to ask questions to find out what the buyer's needs and wants are.
It's interesting when I ask "What's the definition of an objection?" I receive many definitions, including "Objections are a simple request for information" or "Any reason, real or imaginary, or to hesitate or decline giving the actual sales order" or "an expression or feeling of disapproval or opposition; a reason for disagreeing" or "Objections are "facts" ( at least in the mind of the prospect or customer) that need to be dealt with" or "Objections are the catalyst for moving a sale to a conclusion" or "That the prospect voices, or perhaps doesn't voice, a reason why they will not buy" or "The prospect isn't really saying 'No'. Instead he's saying 'I'm not convinced yet. Give me some more reasons to buy'" or "I don't trust you".Take your pick, just choose the one or two that suit you for there does not seem to be an agreement on the definition. When I ask if anyone has said to a customer or prospect "What's your objection?" everyone says "No" as it would be too confronting.
And lastly when I ask where this idea of "handling or overcoming objections" originated, I'm so often met with blank stares and indifference. I've even been told it doesn't matter as it works. Or does it? So I did some investigation and this is what I found. John H Patterson was the owner of the National Cash Register and in an effort to improve sales asked his best salesman, and brother-in-law, Joseph H. Crane, to detail what he did that made him successful. Thus came about the NCR script "How to sell a National Cash Register" which became known as 'The Primer' (1887). It divided the sale into four steps: approach, proposition, demonstration, and close. It was during the close that any objections were handled/overcome.
Quoting from The Primer. "After you have made your proposition clear and feel sure that the merchant realizes the value of the register, do not ask for an order, take for granted that he will buy. Say to him "Mr. Blank, what color shall I make it?" or "How soon do you want delivery?" … Take out your order blank, fill it out, and handing him your pen say, "Just sign where I have made the cross." If he objects, find out why, answer his objections and again prepare him for signature…."
The Primer was introduced in June 1887 and contained instructions on what the salesman should say during a sale and what they were to do while saying it. To ensure that the salesmen communicated all the benefits of the register, Patterson gave them scripts to memorize.
This process was reinforced and elaborated on in the following publications where "objections" and "closing" was emphasised more.
" The Selling Process " 1920 by Norval A Hawkins Commercial and General Sales Manager for Ford Motor Company
"Selling Life Insurance" 1922 by John Alfred Stevenson based on the "Practical Salesmanship" course he delivered when Director of the School of Life Insurance Salesmanship, Carnegie Institute of Technology.
"The Psychology of Selling Life Insurance" 1922 by Edward Kellogg Strong
Were these propositions incorrect and should we ignore all that they said? Of course not. However, the climate in which they sold was very much different than the one we experience today. Then, the buyer was less sophisticated, communications were not so advanced and avenues for redress were few and far between. These days, do the wrong thing and it can be across the World in minutes and there is much more buyer protection legislation.
Then, the focus was to make the sale and move on. It tended to be linear, a "one off". The sales approach tended to be somewhat aggressive. Apart from competing with other suppliers this "overcoming objections" smacked of competing with the buyer. Paterson's approach was tantamount to "win at all costs" and his approach to employees dictatorial.
So are we all still selling cash registers, motor cars or life insurance?
So we forget (or not bother with) from whence came this "Objections" and "Closing". We regurgitate these messages ad nauseam and in sales bravado chant such asinine statements as "The sale begins when I hear an objection" or "The greatest asset a sales person can have is the ability to handle objections". Many can't even agree upon the definition of "objection".
We also perpetrate this modus operandi because that's the training I received and it was good enough for me, it will be good enough for you. And if you feel uncomfortable handling/overcoming objections, then you're not a true sales person. But don't worry for I have so many ways you can do it, just as my forebears did in the last century and the century before that. Also, I'll train you on objections, but whatever you do, don't use that word in front of a customer. In fact, I know you won't use that word in front of prospects or customers because you'll feel uneasy doing so. Let's make it our secrete. I'm a sales trainer, not an educator. Wow! Training people then telling them not to use it in front of the customer or prospect.
Imagine in any other profession, people being trained on fundamental matters, not knowing the origins, having no clear definition and not caring. Little wonder then, that sales people can be seen as "flim-flam" individuals. Little wonder that we can be seen as shallow. Little wonder that we don't even want to call ourselves sales people. Please give me any other title than sales person. Marketing Executive would be nice. Consultant sounds good. What about Business Development Manager? Ooooh, Yes please, can I have Manager in the title? Area Manager I can live with. I don't have an aversion to a title if it gets you in the door, but please when I ask you what you do please don't bullsh*t me and be ashamed to call yourself a salesperson. When you call on me please tell me you are there to sell me something. Imagine an engineer or doctor, when asked, being ashamed to say what they do. What would we think of them?
So why have I for over 30 years not had to handle or overcome objections? Simple. I refuse to acknowledge that the other party has objections unless I have caused it. It will be my actions that will cause people to object. Let me explain, using a social situation. I'm invited to a social function. I certainly don't go there thinking people will object to what I have to say. What I have are concerns and I recognise that the people I meet will have concerns. They may be apprehensive or tentative when meeting me as I am meeting them. If I am rude or obnoxious, that is when they will object. And who caused the objection? Not them. Now let's consider a sales situation. To say a buyer has an objection is like shooting yourself in the foot then blaming someone else. It is sellers who cause objections not buyers. Overcoming or handling objections is a thing of the past. Overcoming objections should not be considered when selling and delivering excellent customer service and relationship selling. Overcoming objections has been seen as a competition between buyer and seller, with the seller "armed" with techniques to "parry" the buyer's "thrusts" and wear down resistance. Some way to build a relationship.
.Also when we "overcome objections" who are we satisfying? Us or the customer?
By definition the word "objection" is a statement or other expression offered in opposition. Thus, when we perceive the customer as "having an objection" we automatically consider them opposing us. This is contrary to working with the customer to ensure they are satisfied. For a customer to have an objection, i.e. oppose us, it must have been something we have said and done or something which our organisation has done. So we are trying to overcome an objection which, generally, we have caused. It is simpler and less aggressive to recognise that customers have concerns throughout the buying and delivery process. Customers have concerns about trust and value, before and when dealing with us. The best sales people work hard to discover and satisfy these concerns to the benefit of all parties.
By acknowledging that concerns exist within the buyer (e.g. "Will the seller understand what I want and help me?") and the seller (e.g. "Have I fully explained the benefits of the products of their choice?") we can work together and exchange information for best results. It's now O.K. for the buyer and the seller to seek out concerns and express them. Satisfying concerns is the pro-active and assertive approach. Overcoming objections is the re-active and aggressive approach. We all wish to own, we all wish to invest, but we hesitate to buy. We often have resistance to buying and changing our habits.
Are we making the right decision?
Is it really necessary?
Will there be something better, shortly?
What will others think?
Will the benefits outweigh the price?
When we have to purchase we sometimes have reservations and uncertainties; our customers are no different. Concerns are a natural part of the buying/selling process and should be welcomed as such. If your customer has no questions or expressed any concerns, then have you effectively communicated? It is better to have a questioning customer prior to the sale, than a complaining customer later.
What is a concern? It is a matter that relates to or affects the parties involved. It is a point that may cause doubt and uneasiness. It is an expression of interest in or importance regarding the topic being discussed. Why are people concerned? People have concerns when they think that their needs will not be satisfied or will be delayed. They have concerns when they think their expectations will not be met. When people perceive that events are not taking the course they planned or thought they would take, they become uneasy.
By acknowledging concerns, own and the other party's, I don't have to compete and like any relationship it allows a freer exchange of information and the reaching of agreement in an assertive manner. How do I handle concerns? I ask "There's something concerning you, what is it?" I also have concerns. For example, if they wish me to drop the price I can say "That concerns me because what you are asking would mean us not delivering everything we said we could and would" A buyer asking about the price is not an objection, it is a legitimate business question.
A number of you will, no doubt, be saying that I'm playing with semantics or "splitting hairs". Not at all, what I've done is to reframe the way I was trained from handling/overcoming objections to satisfying concerns. My focus is to put the client at the centre of the relationship and therefore to build a relationship for ongoing mutual reward and profitability rather than compete with the other party. There's enough competition in the market place without me having to introduce more. Selling and buying does not have to be adversarial. Reframing is simply changing the meaning of an event or experience. Think about it. How much easier is it to work with the customer satisfying concerns rather than compete by handling/overcoming objections? How much easier is it to train people on the obvious that both parties will have concerns (as in any relationship) rather than this "objection handling" only known to the seller? Now you can train them on words they can use in front of a prospect. How much easier is it to coach sales people by asking "What were his concerns?" rather than "What objections did he have?" How much easier is it to obtain the other party's concerns at the beginning merely by asking "Obviously you have some questions and concerns, so may we start with those?" Or should we wait for the buyer to raise an "objection". In stead of a one-way street of selling to the buyer we can have a two-way highway of matching the buyer understanding and process with the selling process. From a buyer's perspective, they do not have objections (unless caused by the seller). How do I know this? Because in B2B I've been a buyer. What I've had, and still do, are some questions to be answered and concerns satisfied. The way the sales person treats me will lower or heighten my concerns. And I'm sure you are no different when you buy.
Am I alone in this refining and updating of outdated selling practises? No! Check out the works of Gill Wagner, Neil Rackham, Dr Michael Hewitt-Gleeson, Anthony J. Alexandra, Michael T Bosworth and Keith M. Eades. In this age do you still want to compete with your buyers or would you sooner co-operate?
This is the twenty first century and sales techniques formulated in the 19th Century need a bit of an update as does "closing" which I haven't done for 30 years. But that's for another time.

Bandung International Digital Arts Festival (BIDAF) is an annual digital arts festival located in Bandung, the capital city of West Java.
Following the success of the first BIDAF last year, the second BIDAF will expand its program to include works in video arts, animations, digital game, digital imaging, sonic arts, intermedia performance, robotic arts and interactive installations.
The three-day festival (July 15-17) will become a very significant intercultural platform for Indonesian and International artists to share expertise and experience as well as to engage in mutual artistic encounters.
The festival's main program will center on four important aspects of the digital arts practices that feature the most recent and advance development in the digital arts and technology in terms of artistic, economic, and technical influences in the global context.
Video art is a type of art which relies on moving pictures and comprises video and/or audio data
The difference between video art and theatrical cinema is that video art does not necessarily rely on many of the conventions that define theatrical cinema hence, delineates video art from cinema's subcategories.
Animation is the process of creating the illusion of motion and shape change by means of the rapid display of a sequence of static images that minimally differ from each other.
Animations can be recorded on either analogue media, such as a flip book, motion picture film, video tape, or on digital media, including formats such as animated GIF, Flash animation or digital video.
Robotic art is any artwork that employs some form of robotic or automated technology.
There are many branches of robotic art, one of which is robotic installation art, a type of installation art that is programmed to respond to viewer interactions, by means of computers, sensors and actuators.
Installation art is an artistic genre of three-dimensional works that are often site-specific and designed to transform the perception of a space.
Generally, the term is applied to interior spaces, whereas exterior interventions are often called public art, land art or intervention art; however, the boundaries between these terms overlap

A while back we had a teachers appreciation lunch at my school. They served a pork tenderloin that was so good, I got the recipe for it. Then not long afterwards, a friend gave me a jar of roasted garlic pepper jelly. The recipe called for preserves, so I knew what the jar of pepper jelly was going to go to!
This recipe is really easy and it does not disappoint. Below is the information where you can get your own jar of Bulldog Pepper Jelly Brand Roasted Garlic Pepper Jelly. But you could use this recipe with whatever jelly/preserves makes your taste buds go "mmmm"! At the lunch, they used orange marmalade, but said that apricot preserves are even better.
Bulldog Pepper Jelly – "The jelly with a BITE!"
email@example.com 337-540-7259
Roasted Garlic Glazed Pork Loin
1 pork tenderloin
Tony's Creole Seasoning, to taste
1 tbsp olive oil
Kitchen Bouquet (Browning liquid)
1/2 jar Roasted Garlic Pepper Jelly (about 1 cup)
2 tbsp Dijon mustard
2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Season tenderloin generously with Tony's, set aside. Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a cast iron skillet over medium heat. Brown the tenderloin on both sides, adding a little Kitchen Bouquet for added color.
In a small bowl, mix the jelly, mustard and Worcestershire. Brush the browned pork with the glaze, then put in the oven for 30 minutes. Check for doneness using a meat thermometer. Add more glaze then cook longer if needed.
Once done, remove from the oven and allow it to sit for at least ten minutes before slicing, to retain juices. Spoon more glaze over the top when serving.


text: I believe I have cvs commit log mailing list messages working again. The issue is that source forge will not accept a posted message unless it can connect back to the sending server on port 25 to "verify" that it is a legitimate mail server and not some idiot in a coffee house mailing out billions of spam. Good idea in principle, except port 25 to this machine was blocked at the router level by the building net admins. I finally got the local net admins to open up that port, but it still didn't work. Turns out by default sendmail was configured to only accept mail from the local host ... a nice security measure to prevent a machine from being inadvertently used as a spam relay. Well, it's annoying that I have to reduce security on my machine in order to satisfy source forge's added security, but it is what it is. But it still didn't work. Finally it occured to me that the cvs server has a firewall and I need to open up the port there too. (duhhh) So after chipping away at it here and there as time was available, I think it's all working and we should be seeing commit log messages once again on the flightgear-cvslogs mailing list.

While you're on your weight-loss journey, dressing to flatter your figure might be on your mind, but how can you do that while keeping up with the latest styles? Fashion stylist and writer Hannah Eichler at ERA, helps us find the figure-flattering styles keep you in vogue.
Kimonos add a touch of romance to any outfit, and if your style is a bit bohemian it can work really well. Lightweight with gaping sleeves, fringing and tassels, they are barely there, yet demand attention. 'Look for a style with floating capped sleeves to flatter the tops of your arms, and one which you can add a belt with to cinch you in at the waist,' advises Hannah. 'If you're conscious of your thighs, opting for a kimono with tassels will provide some extra coverage, and give a cooling effect too'.
Grama rose print tasselled kimono, £11.99, Missguided
Perfect for curvy ladies, the 2014 catwalks recommend high-rise jeans with a slim fit or soft leg flare, which is ideal for balancing out your figure. Hannah suggests a dark indigo wash to lengthen and flatter your frame. Jeans with an element of stretch will also give you a smooth silhouette and help suck you in, while they will also retain their shape longer. Levi's Revel jeans (£90) have liquid technology to suck you in and give great lift on your bottom.
South high rise skinny jeans, £24-30, Littlewoods.com
Embroidery, sparkles and detail
Designer Mary Katrantzou is teaching us how to wear lace, buttons, beads and embroidery on vibrant colours, but is it too much for day-to-day? 'All that glitters' pairs perfectly with colour-block panelling, defining a curvy silhouette. Keep an eye out for dresses with adornment details that feature lighter panelling on the sides and black in the centre to form the figure. 'The clever embroidery on this dress draws the eye in, and creates the illusion of an hourglass frame,' explains Hannah. For something more striking, look for black and digital print panelling combinations.
Crochet lace panel dress in Navy, £58, The Vestry
Sea breeze linens
Linens have always been a staple as the weather warms up as they're breathable, lightweight and reflective to the heat. This year, Valentino premiered linens covered in prints and patterns. For a comfortable and smart tailored look, we recommend cream linen trousers, with an off-white pinstripe. Watch out for a wide leg fit and wide weave. Team with a relaxed blue-tone T-shirt, or blue silk blouse for coastal chic. Hannah advises to 'always tuck in tops to create focus on your slim middle'.
Toile de jour top, £35, Yumi
Signature accessories
Accessories can balance your figure and exude a savvy fashion personality. Choose a statement necklace that reflects light and draws an elegant line through the décolletage. 'A long necklace is the two- second trick that will create a vertical line through your body and instantly lengthen your torso,' explained Hannah.
Radha gold necklace, £55, East

HIGH SCHOOL BASKETBALL;Talent From New Jersey Has the College Scouts Drooling
By GRANT GLICKSON
Published: December 9, 1995
A crooked smile crossed Tim Thomas's face as he gloated a bit over how New Jersey had eclipsed New York as a cradle of high school basketball talent.
"In the past, everything has always been about Felipe Lopez, Stephon Marbury or Kareem Reid," Thomas, a 6-foot-10-inch center/forward for Paterson Catholic High School, told reporters the other day, referring to recent blue-chip graduates from the Big Apple. "But this year is our year. New Jersey has a lot to offer colleges."
Thomas's coach and several national publications agree, rating New Jersey as the top state in the country for college recruiters.
"We have 14 or 15 top Division I players in the state and that's never happened before," said Jim Salmon, coach at Paterson Catholic. "That's what the interest comes from with the media and college coaches."
The nation's senior class this season is headed by Thomas, the land's most sought-after big man who has narrowed his college choices to Kentucky, North Carolina, Rutgers, Seton Hall and Villanova.
"He carries the ball like a point guard," Salmon said. "Shoots like a shooting guard. Runs the ball like a small forward. Rebounds like a power forward and defends like a center. He's clearly the best player in the country."
The next most nationally acclaimed player is Shaheen Holloway of St. Patrick's in Elizabeth, N.J. The 5-10 guard is exciting to watch every time he touches the ball.
"He is one of the best penetrators to come along in the last 10 years," said his coach, Kevin Boyle.
The second tier of players in New Jersey consists of players from the best teams in the nation: Nate Johnson of Camden, Anthony Perry of St. Anthony in Jersey City, Malik Allen of Shawnee in Medford, Julian Dunkley of Cherry Hill West, Brian Lynch of Christian Brothers Academy in Lincroft and Winston Smith of St. Patrick's in Elizabeth. They are all Division I prospects.
"We have four or five teams here in New Jersey who can compete with any team in the country," Boyle said.
But don't think for one New York minute that city playgrounds have become depleted. Among the city's stars are: Willie Dersch of Holy Cross and Ira Miller of Christ the King, both in Queens; Shamel Jones and Lamar Odom of Paul Robeson in Brooklyn, and Ramel Lloyd of Cardinal Hayes in the Bronx.
"We don't have anybody this year of high profile like a Stephon Marbury," Holy Cross Coach Jim Kerr said. "But there are a lot of good players and everybody has a solid team."
Dersch, who signed with Virginia, is widely considered the elite player of New York's graduating class.
"Willie is as good a player that I've ever seen," said Kerr, who has coached at Holy Cross in Flushing for the past 30 years. "He may not be a high profile player. But he's a very good all-around player. He could do just about anything on the court."

Group 1 wining mare English is a clear cut race day favourite for the Group 1 $600,000 Schweppes All Aged Stakes (1400m) at Randwick today.
Ladbrokes.com.au have English at $3.20, a clear margin ahead of the Kris Lees trained Le Romain at $4.20, after the pair have battled for favouritism since the final field for the weight for age Autumn Carnival feature race was released on Wednesday.
The Gai Waterhouse and Adrian Bott trained English is coming off a last start second to Chautauqua in the Group 1 $2.5m Darley T J Smith Stakes (1200m) at Randwick on April 1 and has the right credentials to win back to back All Aged Stakes after defeating Black Heart Bart last year.
Lees is happy to forgive Le Romain for his last start failure when fifteenth to It's Somewhat in the Group 1 $3m The Star Doncaster Mile (1600m) at Randwick on day one of 'The Championships' a fortnight ago and expects him to be hard to beat today.
"I know Hughie was adamant, and I have to trust his judgment, that Le Romain was just getting dragged back from about the 600m when the rest of the field was moving forwards,'' Lees told The Daily Telegraph.
"At the 300m, Le Romain was alongside my other runner (third placegetter) Sense Of Occasion and I would have thought he would have been five or six lengths in front of him.
"Hughie said was going up and down in the one spot and it was a total forgive run. Le Romain is the type of horse that needs to build momentum into his races.''
Hugh Bowman rides Le Romain again and Lees can see the four year old going forward for the outside barrier in the field of ten.
"I can see him settled outside (leader) Jungle Edge or being very close to the lead," Lees said.
"He will be in a forward position and should get the right run. I think the race sets up nicely for him.''
Prior to finishing down the track in the Doncaster Mile, Le Romain won the Group 1 $500,000 BMW Canterbury Stakes (1300m) at Randwick on March 4 three starts back before running second to Winx in the Group 1 $1m China Horse Club George Ryder Stakes (1500m) at Rosehill on March 18.
On the third line of betting for the All Aged Stakes is the Darren Weir trained Voodoo Lad at $6.50 just head of Newmarket Handicap winner Redkirik Warrior at $7, Tivaci at $8.50 and the Chris Waller trained McCreery at $9.50.

Trail Stewardship Group: Transcona Trails Association
The South Transcona Community Path provides a fully separated walking and cycling path along Dugald Rd, a high-volume, high speed provincial highway. It runs from the intersection of Terracon Pl and Dugald Road out to the suburb of South Transcona. Residents of South Transcona used to walk through the CNR shops to get to downtown Transcona on a pathway known as 'The Midway'. When CNR closed that pathway there was no safe way to walk or cycle between South Transcona and the rest of Transcona. This paved path has been constructed to provide a safe commuter path and is enjoyed best on a bike.

ROYSE CITY, Texas - ROYSE CITY, Texas – Royse City Police report one woman dead and a female teen injured after a Friday evening vehicle/pedestrian accident along the EB I-30 service road between Royse City and Fate.

The two victims were transported to separate hospitals. The adult female died and the teenager is hospitalized at Children's Medical Center in Dallas.
Chief Stapleton says investigators have interviewed both the driver and passenger of the minivan.

William Fox-Pitt leads after the first day of the Eventing World Championships at Haras du Pin, Normandy, after demoting the defending gold medallist Michael Jung in the dressage phase late on Thursday afternoon.
Fox-Pitt is the world No 1 but has never won an individual gold. However, Chilli Morning's 37.5-penalty effort may count for little because torrential rain threatens to make Saturday's cross-country conditions as testing as Badminton's in May.
"It's quite hilly and with the soft ground it's going to be a serious test," Fox-Pitt said. "The effect of the course will be cumulative — and in this ground your horse may finally come up with the wrong answers."
Britain stand third in the team contest behind Germany and, narrowly, New Zealand.
There was a below par test by Zara Phillips and High Kingdom, for 54 penalties.
"I'm annoyed with my score but it's the price of going early," Phillips said. "He broke stride in the medium trot and my marks didn't come back up after that. It's a tough track – I felt like I have walked round Burghley. If it stays wet then the dressage scores won't matter as much."
Elsewhere at the World Equestrian Games, Sheikh Hamdan Al Maktoum jnr — still under investigation for riding a "ringer" at the 2012 World Championships – won the 100-mile endurance individual at Sartilly on Yamamah. However, the UAE failed to retain team gold when their other four horses were vetted out, as the tougher new rules to clean up endurance appeared to be applied.
Fewer than a third of the 160 starters looked likely to complete, with stragglers were still trying to get home at dusk. The attrition rate will not have helped the FEI's hope for good images.
Claudia Romero Chacon, of Costa Rica, was seriously injured when pinned under her dead horse Dorado, who ran into a tree in the early stages and sustained fatal head injuries.
