"RRR" Guarantee
For essential connectivity needs Datec-NGN has the "RRR" Network Guarantee option. Choose a "RRR" access network connectivity option for reliability, resiliency, redundancy or in other words "peace of mind".
Datec-NGN "RRR" connections combine intelligent network design with multi-homed access network connections, advanced route selection technologies and remote management, monitoring and alert rules.
'Resilience' = the power or ability to return to original form.
To achieve resiliency in the event of link failure two simultaneous connections to different Datec-NGN towers are installed. In the event of radio interference, outage, slow response, degraded throughput or any other performance degradation Datec-NGN Technicians can access the failed or failing radio via the alternate path for rapid channel correction. This removes the need to visit onsite to make corrections dramatically increasing speed of correction.
'Redundant' = duplication to achieve protection against failure
To achieve redundancy a second distinct radio path is constructed to a different Datec-NGN tower access point where possible. In the event of complete or partial hardware or electrical failure network session traffic can traverse the backup link until the primary is restored. There is no loss of IP address allocation, DMZ or firewall changes needed by local IT departments. All functions are automatic as facilitated by the intelligent Datec MPLS/VPLS/OSPF Appliance device deployed to customer border networks.
'Reliable' = able to be trusted, predictable or dependable.
To achieve reliability a range of monitoring, alerts and proactive route redistribution is enabled to ensure continuance of service in the event of any issue.
Alerts, Management and Reporting
For all "RRR" Guarantee services a mix of management, monitoring, alert and traffic profiling services are layered onto the resilient and redundant physical design. All 'RRR' connections are monitored 24x7x365 for complete traffic outage reporting. Outage alerts are by monitor, email and SMS to the Datec-NGN network operations centre. For customers who nominate for 24x7x365 support in the event of outage lasting 5 minutes or more a management incident is created and the customer is informed by email alert and telephone call during peak commercial hours (8am till 5pm). In the event of traffic profile changes (dramatic changes in typical traffic profiles) alerts can be created for human investigation. This is helpful for SPAM/Virus/Security breaches that may unknowingly impact performance.
In addition to the 'RRR' back office functions and services performed by Datec-NGN network operations staff a full client portal is open to customers to view, report and analyse traffic across Internet access links or Metro Area Ethernet private networks in real time.

CHARLESTON — A US jury on Tuesday condemned self-described white supremacist Dylann Roof to death over the massacre of nine black worshippers in a South Carolina church in June 2015 — a crime that shocked the nation. Roof, 22, was convicted last month of 33 federal charges — including hate crimes resulting in death — in connection with the shooting spree at the historic Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church in downtown Charleston. A Bible study group at "Mother Emanuel," which had welcomed Roof, was just beginning its closing prayer when the self-avowed Nazi and Ku Klux Klan sympathizer opened fire, killing nine people ranging in age from 26 to 87. The slayings once again exposed the deep divides in America over race and access to guns. Roof showed little reaction to the decision, delivered just hours after the 12-member jury retired to deliberate, though he occasionally seemed to be slightly smiling. Federal judge Richard Gergel will formally deliver Roof's sentence on Wednesday morning at the Charleston courthouse. The verdict unanimously reached by the jury is binding. "I still feel like I had to do it," Roof told jurors earlier in a semi-coherent closing argument. Roof represented himself in the sentencing phase of the trial, against the advice of his lawyers and the judge. He called no witnesses and offered no evidence for the jury to consider. After the jury offered its sentencing verdict, Roof asked for new attorneys so he could move for a retrial, but Gergel told him to provide specific reasons for his request on Wednesday. — AFP

Despite taking the fight on late notice, 2008 Olympic gold medalist Felix Diaz was itching to rid himself of the leftover taste from a close loss to Lamont Peterson last October.
In order to bounce back, he was put in against undefeated Sammy Vasquez Jr., who was also facing the toughest challenge of his career.
Diaz was able to build an early lead on the scorecards by controlling the ring and staying busy. His high work rate proved to be most effective when he was able to pin Vasquez into the corners and go to work both up top and to the body.
But the U.S. Army veteran Vasquez showed just how tough he is, fighting through bad cuts on his face to push forward all the way through the 10th round. Vasquez rallied late to even out the fight in the closing rounds, but then lost a crucial point in the final round for losing his mouthpiece despite earlier warnings for it falling out.
That one point ended up moving the fight from being a majority draw to a unanimous decision narrowly in favor of Diaz (96-95, 95-94 x2). With the win, Diaz improved to 18-1 (8 KO), and affirmed himself as a force to be dealt with in the welterweight ranks, while Vasquez's first loss pushed him to 21-1 (15 KO).

With many countries prohibiting the use of tobacco cigarettes, the need for e-cigarettes has shot up. Health awareness has also decreased the users of tobacco and increased the users of e-cigarettes. The eliquids used in the e-cigarettes are propylene glycol, vegetable glycerin, water and nicotine. These liquids are used in various proportions according to the user's requirement. However, each user uses flavors according to their individual taste buds. The propylene glycol helps to blend well with the flavor and the nicotine content of the liquid giving sharpness to the vapor which is preferred by some. There are others who give preference to VG level as they give a thicker consistency and a smoothening tone to the throat. However, using these two liquids requires more experimenting to find the right proportion. The containers that are used to fill these liquids can be either be Clearomizer tanks, Sub-ohm tanks or Drippers.
Juicers and Flavors
Vape juices have different flavors and are the favorite option of many. They are user-approved and come in flavors like dessert flavors and fruit flavors. We also custom blend a flavor according to your choice. The e-liquid that you are looking for is with us and you can try your favorite as well as choose from the vast blends we have. We provide sample packs so that you can select the blend that you would like. Once you prefer a particular blend we can provide you with big gigantic bundles of the vape juice you love. If you are a coffee lover, we have flavors for you in various delighting coffee flavors too, like mocha coffee blended finely with perfect combination along with raspberries, a mixture of fruit and coffee in the right proportion. Of course as a tobacco lover you can get your favorite classical tobacco blend in the right proportion. For those who love the cool feel there are menthol flavors that give a icy feel in the mouth or the vanilla ice cream which is always a treat to the mouth. There are many flavors like latte with pumpkin well spiced up or apple pie that gives a warm nostalgic feel or pecan cake that looks and tastes delicious. We suggest that you choose your favorite flavor and then try other flavors so that you can slowly get used to other flavors as well. Our options are many and it is you who would have to do the choosing from us. We do not compromise on variety or taste. We provide vape juices that possess proper food grade ingredients that are approved by the FDA.Vapers like to use various combinations of PG and VG for each inhale. They also use them with different flavors. The fruit flavors are preferred by many for their tart while using cream and custard are loved by those who love the tangy taste and thickness in the mouth. The sweetening flavor adds to the dessert flavor for others. With different combination, you can experiment the best e-cigarette vapor with the best eliquid.

Unanswered: Help With LEFT OUTER JOIN
I'm trying to rewrite a UNION query with a LEFT OUTER JOIN since this is new with version 7.2 of DB2.
You'll probably have to know my relationships in order to help me so I'll try to explain them the best that I can.
There are a couple of tricky things in our table design.
It's kind of huge so if I could get some help in the first part of the query where I select from the four tables that would be nice.
Do I have to use nested table expressions or is there another way to do this?
Here's my union query:

Various patents describing various related methods of making envelopes with folded enclosures therein have issued in recent years. Among such patents are U.S. Pat. No. 3,557,519 issued to Lyon; U.S. Pat. No. 3,998,138 issued to Walters; U.S. Pat. No. 4,019,596 issued to Jones; U.S. Pat. No. 4,189,895 issued to Volkert et al; and U.S. Pat. No. 4,411,643 issued to Higginson. In addition and most recently U.S. Pat. No. 4,530,730, has issued to Bradley et al and U.S. Pat. No. 4,530,731 and U.S. Pat. No. 4,531,993 have issued to Bradley, all of which are assigned to Bedford Engineering Co., Armonk, N.Y. Of all of these prior patents, U.S. Pat. No. 4,531,933 appears to be most pertinent in that it discloses a method of making an envelope assembly with an enclosure having the Z-type fold which is uniformly used in bulk rate mailing. None of these patents, however, disclose or suggest a cost-effective method by means of which such an assembly can be produced, but in which the letter has a business-fold. Reference is made to columns 1 and 2 of U.S. Pat. No. 4,531,993, issued to Bradley, which are included herein by reference thereto and which sets out the high desirability of mass producing envelope-letter assemblies at high speeds and low costs, with a personalized element. That patent, however, fails to disclose or suggest any method or means by which the letter portion of the assembly could be formed in a business-fold.
U.S. Pat. No. 3,557,519 to Lyon, Jr. describes an integral envelope-letter article intended to provide the effect of a personal letter while retaining the ability to produce such letters in sufficient quantities to be economical within the economic framework of direct mail advertising. Jones, in U.S. Pat. No. 4,091,596, provides a method for producing a mailing piece formed of an envelope and an insert. However, the Jones mailing piece is formed of two separate sheets of material blanked from different webs at different locations and mated in an assembly operation, such methodology being logistically difficult and of a speed which is becoming unacceptable in the industry due to cost considerations.
Jones provides two changes of direction in the manufacture of the mailing piece so disclosed, a first change of direction occurring on insertion of the separate "letter" portion of the mailing piece into an unglued blank with a second change of direction occurring to facilitate application of adhesive to the envelope blank which is followed by folding and sealing of the mailing piece. Changes of direction in such a processing operation inherently increase the time required to manufacture of a mailing piece.
Volkert et al in U.S. Pat. No. 4,189,895 provides an envelope containing a personalized enclosure which is unattached to the personalized envelope, the envelope and enclosure being formed from the same web of sheet material which has been preprinted. Volkert et al do not provide a mechanism within the mailing piece itself during formation which ensures that the envelope and enclosures are maintained in association with each other during folding and severing operations necessary to cause the envelope and enclosure to become separate entities.
The personalization of mail effectively increases the return to the advertiser or other user. Personalized mailings lose a substantial amount of personal value when the person receiving the mailing can easily recognize the mailing as a "form" or "mass" mail advertisement, such poorly produced mailings being often not opened or read by the recipient even though useful and valuable information is contained in the mailing. The use of "computer printout" papers wherein an envelope and "letter" are combined together without detachment and often without even removal of edge perforations remaining from printing from a roll further increases the resistance of a recipient to seriously consider such a mailing as personal mail deserving of close attention.
Accordingly, it has become highly desirable to produce personalized mailing pieces consisting of a personalized envelope and a separate personalized enclosure which are formed from the same preprinted blank of sheet material and which particularity gives the effect of an important, personalized letter or other communication such an a telegram or the like. Further, it is particularily necessary in the production of such mailing pieces that the mailing pieces be produced at a high rate of speed in order than economies can be effected without diminution of the personalized quality of the mailing.
In recent years, business practices have more and more required personalized communications because most business executives receive so much so-called "junk or bulk rate mail" that it is recognized and discarded without any serious attention being given thereto. Executives recognize "junk mail" pieces by the manner in which they are prepared, particularily in view of the fact that business practices have developed in business letter writing what is known as a "business fold". Executives can readily identify so-called "junk mail" as such if it has a Z-fold instead of a business fold. As a consequence, most if not all such Z-folded mail may be summarily discarded without examination or reading of same.
A "business fold" is described as the prescribed manner in which a secretary is taught to fold and insert a dictated business letter into an envelope, and involves first folding the signatory portion of the letter inwardly and then subsequently folding the salutation portion of the letter thereover and inserting the same into the envelope in such a way that the letter has three layers, with the signatory portion in the middle and the salutation portion opening upwardly as the letter is withdrawn from the envelope, when the latter is opened at the top and is held with its backside up.
Thus, it is desirable, for obvious reasons, to be able to produce at high speeds a cost effective personalized letter which is mechanically folded, addressed, and disposed within its envelope assembly in a business fold so that it cannot be readily detected as having been machine-produced as one of large quantities in a continuous process. No one has heretofore disclosed or suggested a method of cost-effectively producing such an envelope assembly, despite the readily recognizable desirability of being able to produce such letters in large quantities and in a continuous operation. Our invention provides a cost-effective method of producing large volumes of such an envelope assembly with the letter having the above described "business-fold" and being disposed within the envelope during the formation of the latter as a direct result of the method of manufacture.
We have developed a cost-effective method of producing large volumes of personalized business letter assemblies for bulk mailing in each of which the letter portion is automatically folded with a business fold and encompassed in a prescribed relation as a result of the method of manufacture by an envelope, all from a single sheet of paper. Bulk rate mail has heretofore uniformly employed non-business or Z-type folding of the letter. While the desirability of using a business-fold in the letter portion of such envelope assemblies has long been heretofore recognized, no one has heretofore found it commercially feasible because it was thought to require manual folding and stuffing of the letter within the envelope. Our method, on a cost benefit basis, is cost-effective so that now such bulk rate mailings can provide, at high speed and high volume and low cost, a business-fold letter rather than the non-business or Z-fold type heretofore used.
In our method, the envelope and the letter are each personalized by preprinting the appropriate portions of the blank of material from which the letter assembly is to be made. Each preprinted blank can be brought to the folding machine separately or it can be fed from a roll of such blanks and cut off as it progresses through the folding machine. The letter is printed on one or both sides of the sheet with the signatory panel at the forward end portion. The folding machines which we utilize are readily available on the market, and have been modified in a manner which will be readily obvious to one skilled in the art to accomplish the various steps of the methods disclosed herein. Each blank is fed into and moved through such a machine at a relatively high speed and travels continuously forwardly therethrough while the envelope assembly is made. The forming and folding of the letter and the envelope is accomplished while the blank or sheet of material moves continuously forwardly. Thus, it is possible to produce as many as 15,000 letters and envelope assemblies, with a business-fold in the letter, per hour, using the new methods described herein.
The invention involves providing an elongated blank of material, such as paper, the forward letter portion of which is rectangular in shape and the trailing portion (envelope portion) of which is also generally rectangular, but has wider portions at each side which are utilized in securing the opposite sides of the eventual envelope together to form the envelope itself. The envelope portion also includes a trailing area which eventually becomes the seal flap of the envelope.
The first step thereafter is to utilize a buckle fold as the sheet moves forwardly, to fold the leading end portion (the signatory portion) downwardly and rearwardly to thereby create a two layer fold. Thereafter, the sheet is scored transversely and the leading portion is folded upwardly and rearwardly through the use of another buckle fold along a line adjacent the medial portions of the sheet, so that the letter portion lies in superimposed relation to most but not all of the envelope portion and does not extend outwardly to cover the more lateral portions thereof. In this position, the signatory portion or panel becomes the uppermost of three layers, with the envelope portion being the bottom layer, and the side seams extending laterally outwardly beyond the side edges of the superimposed letter portion.
Both the envelope portion and the letter portion assembly are then simultaneously scored transversely, along a line extending adjacent the medial area of the envelope portion, along the free edge of the signatory panel, and adjacent the end of the side seams. At the same time, scoring is applied to the envelope portion transversely along the free end thereof to define the seal flap and also parallel and just outwardly of the side edges of the signatory panel, to define the side seams.
The next step involves separating the envelope portion and letter portion into two discrete sheets by cutting away a small section of each just inwardly of the line along which the second buckle fold was accomplished. This produces an envelope sheet in flat extended position with its major portion covered by a superimposing letter sheet, the latter having a signatory panel folded and extending as the third and top layer which is disposed above the trailing half of the envelope portion.
The side seams are then folded inwardly and adhesive is applied to their upper surface after such folding.
Thereafter, the forward portions of both sheets are simultaneously folded upwardly and rearwardly along their prior transverse scoring line. This brings the salutation portion of the letter sheet into superimposed relation to the signatory and main body portion of the letter, with the latter on the bottom, thereby creating the desired business fold. At the same time, it brings the forward area of the envelope portion into superimposed and encompassing relation to the letter. As the side edges thereof engage the adhesive of the side seams, the construction of the envelope is completed, with the business-folded letter encompassed therewithin in separate detached relation.
Thereafter the envelope and letter assemblies are collated in superimposed relation to each other so as to expose only the seal flap portions thereof. Adhesive is then applied to the seal flaps as a group. After the adhesive is dried, the envelopes are passed through a refeeder which separates the individual envelopes and thereafter they are passed through a folding section which folds the flap over in a manner well known in the art.
A detailed description of one preferred embodiment of the METHOD OF MAKING ENVELOPE AND LETTER ASSEMBLY WITH BUSINESS LETTER FOLD is hereafter described with specific reference being made to the drawings in which:
FIG. 1, is a plan view of a sheet of paper material comprised of a plurality of blanks each of which is cut to the desired shape as shown and may be utilized to produce an envelope assembly with a separate business-letter-folded removable enclosure therewithin, in accordance with our invention;
FIG. 2A is an illustrative perspective view of one such blank having an envelope portion and a letter portion, after the signatory panel of the latter has been buckle-folded downwardly;
FIG. 2B is an illustrative perspective view of the same after being scored preparatory to the next buckle-fold;
FIG. 3A is an illustrative perspective view of the same after the next step in which the letter end portion is buckle-folded upwardly and rearwardly into superimposed position with respect to the envelope portion;
FIG. 3B is an illustrative perspective view of the same after the folding step of FIG. 3A has been completed;
FIG. 4 is an illustrative perspective view of the same in which as the next step both of the envelope and letter portions are scored adjacent the medial portions of the envelope portion and the envelope portion is scored along its seal flap and side seams;
FIG. 5 is an illustrative perspective view of the same illustrating the next step in which a portion of both of the envelope and letter portions are severed and removed along their prior fold line;
FIG. 6 is an illustrative perspective view of the same showing the next step in which the side seams of the envelope portion are turned inwardly;
FIG. 7 is an illustrative perspective view of the same showing the next step in which adhesive is applied to the upper surface of the turned-in side seams;
FIG. 8 is an illustrative perspective view of the same showing the next step in which the leading portions of both of the envelope and letter portions have been folded upwardly and rearwardly to produce a business-fold in the letter portion and to form the envelope in encompassing relation to the separate business-fold letter;
FIG. 9 is an illustrative perspective view of a plurality of such envelope assemblies, with business-fold letters therewithin, arranged for simultaneous application of adhesive to their seal flaps; and
FIG. 10 is an illustrative perspective view of one of the above envelope assemblies after the seal flap has been folded over with the separate business-folded letter therewithin.
The new method disclosed and claimed herein is comprised of providing either a plurality of separate blanks, or a roll of such blanks connected together, which are fed into a machine designed to practice the invention and sever the individual sheets from the roll as they pass therethrough. This is in accordance with well known prior art and, therefore, need not be shown and described in detail herein.
FIG. 1 shows two such blanks as they come off the roll. Each such blank is comprised of an envelope portion 1 and a letter portion 11, the latter of which is in the lead as it enters the machine. It will be seen that the letter portion 11 is rectangular in shape whereas the envelope portion 10, although generally rectangular in shape, has additional laterally extending portions at each of its sides which extend outwardly beyond the side edges of the letter portion 11. The letter is printed on the underside of the sheet with the signatory panel at the forward end portion. The name and address is printed on the underside of the envelope portion.
FIG. 2A illustrates the first step in forming the envelope-letter assembly from one such blank as described above. As shown, the leading end or forward end area 12 is provided with a buckle-fold along the transverse line 13 to form a letter signatory end panel 14. The downward and rearward folding of the panel 14 brings that panel underneath the remainder of the letter portion 11, as shown in FIG. 2B.
As the sheet of paper moves forwardly, it is scored transversely along line 15, where the envelope portion 10 and letter portion 11 meet.
The next step is to produce a buckle-fold at line 15 where the envelope and letter portions adjoin, with the letter portion being folded upwardly and rearwardly to superimposed position with respect to the envelope portion 10, as shown in FIGS. 3A and 3B. It will be seen that the letter portion 11, after this fold has been accomplished, lies in superimposed relation to the envelope portion 10 and covers the major and central portion thereof. As a result of this folding operation, a three layered assembly is created, the envelope portion being the lower layer and the signatory portion of the letter being the top layer, as shown in FIG. 3A and FIG. 4. It will be understood that the signature may be applied to either side of the signatory portion or panel 14, depending upon the length of the letter, or even to some other area. The term "signatory panel" is used herein merely to identify the panel first formed at the end of the letter portion 11.
The next step is a scoring operation in which the envelope portion 10 and the letter portion 11 are simultaneously scored along line 16, which is a transverse line located slightly forwardly of the longitudinal center of the envelope portion 10 and just forwardly of the signatory panel 14. At the same time, the envelope portion 10 is scored along line 18 which extends transversely along the base of the seal flap 17. Also at the same time, the side seams 19 and 20 are defined by scoring a line along lines 21 and 22 at the base thereof. It will be noted that the score lines 21 and 22 extend parallel to the side edges of the letter portion 11 and are located outwardly thereof. These scoring operations are best shown in FIG. 4.
FIG. 5 shows the next step in our method in which a portion 23 of both the envelope portion 10 and letter 11 portion is severed along a line adjacent to and parallel to fold line 15. This creates two separate sheets, the letter portion 11 lying in superimposed and aligned relation with the envelope portion 10, as best shown in FIG. 5.
FIG. 6 illustrates the next step in our method. It provides for the folding in-operation of the side seams 19 and 20. These side seams are folded upwardly and inwardly along score lines 21 and 22, as shown in that figure preparatory to the application of adhesive to the upperside thereof.
FIG. 7 illustrates the next step which is the application of the adhesive to the upper surface of the side seams. It will be noted that the side seams extend inwardly short of the side edges of the letter portion 11 and opposite the laterally extending portions of the envelope portion adjacent the letter portion in the initial sheet.
FIG. 8 illustrates the next step of our method in which the forward end of the assembly, shown in FIG. 7, is folded upwardly and rearwardly, the envelope portion 10 and the letter portion 11 being folded simultaneously in this manner while continuing to move forwardly through the machine. As this is done, the salutation panel 24 is folded rearwardly in superimposed relation to the signatory panel 14 of the letter and thus the business-letter folding is completed with the salutation panel 24 being the upper of three layers and the signatory panel 14 being disposed between the salutation panel and the main body or middle portion of the letter. Thus, the business-fold of the letter is accomplished by this folding step. At the same time, the laterally extending portions 25 and 26 of the envelope portion 11 are brought into engagement with the adhesive on the side seams 19 and 20 to complete the formation of the envelope. Thus, the letter is thereby completely encompassed by the envelope and lies therewithin in a business-fold such that as it is removed from the top of the envelope as, viewed in FIG. 8, the salutory panel 14 will open upwardly toward the viewer as a result of this business-fold. It will be seen that the letter is completely detached from the envelope and that it is completely encompassed by the envelope as a direct result of the folding operation described hereinabove.
FIG. 8 shows the results of the folding operation described hereinabove. After the envelopes have been formed in the manner described hereinabove, they are collated in superimposed relation with only their seal flaps 17 exposed, as shown in FIG. 9. Adhesive is then applied to the exposed surfaces of the seal flaps, as shown in FIG. 9, and thereafter the envelopes are slightly separated and passed through a drying run to dry the adhesive on the seal flaps in a manner well known within the art, preparatory to the envelopes being fed into a re-feeder section. The re-feeder section separates the envelopes and arranges them in position for feeding into another section which folds the seal flap, as shown in FIG. 10, in which the seal flap 17 is folded upwardly and over the upper panel of the envelope.
From hereinabove it can be seen that we have provided a novel method of forming a discreet envelope-panel letter assembly in which the letter is folded so as to produce a business fold, thereby insuring that the recipient of the letter will be unable to detect in advance of reading the letter, that it is a product of bulk mailing. As the letter is removed from the envelope with the envelope held so that the backside thereof faces upwardly and the seal flap is at the right side, the salutation panel 15 will open upwardly, just as in the case of a letter prepared by a secretary with the now standard business-fold. In view thereof, such an envelope-letter assembly has proved much more highly desirable than those heretofore known, and yet can be produced at speeds equal to or exceeding the production of other envelope-letter assemblies as heretofore known.
The steps outlined hereinabove provide a highly improved result in that for the first time, it is now possible to produce a continuous stream of envelope-letter assemblies, each of which contains a letter having a business-fold and which opens up, upon withdrawal, so that its salutory heading faces the recipient. These highly desirable features are accomplished as a direct result of the unique steps outlined hereinabove, as explained and as claimed herein. None of the above prior art suggests how these long-desired results can be obtained and we know of no other way previously disclosed under which these results can be attained.
An envelope-letter asembly produced in accordance with the above steps is so highly desired because it makes it virtually impossible for the recipient to recognize that the letter has been mass produced mechanically. In other words, it cannot, upon being opend, be recognized at once as so-called "junk mail" and discarded with knowledge and confidence that the letter is not a valuable piece of correspondence, as is the case with letter-envelope assemblies produced by other methods.
The steps outlined hereinabove, when using modern methodology, produces such mailing pieces at a high rate of speed to effect economies, while at the same time increasing the personalized quality of the communication. Both the envelope and the letter can be separately personalized, even though they are formed from the same blank, and even more importantly, the letter has a business-fold which makes it appear to have been prepared by the author's secretary.
The steps outlined hereinabove can all readily be performed through the use of machines currently available for purchase on the market, with slight modifications thereto which are readily obvious to one skilled in the art, once the method is known.
In view thereof, in considering this invention, it should be remembered that the present disclosure is illustrative only and the scope of the invention should be determined by the appended claims.

The busy Meloncholia and Martha Marcy May Marlene actor has boarded a pair of projects. Brady Corbet has joined the ensemble cast of While We're Young, about how an uptight documentary filmmaker and his wife loosen up a bit after they befriend a free-spirited younger couple. Directed by Noah Baumbach and produced by Scott Rudin, it stars Ben Stiller, Amanda Seyfried, Naomi Watts, Charles Grodin and Adam Driver. Corbet also has been cast in the HBO miniseries Olive Kitteridge, starring Frances McDormand, about a seemingly placid New England town wrought with illicit affairs, crime and tragedy. Corbet will play Henry Thibodeau, devoted husband of Denise (Zoe Kazan). He recently wrapped production on the indie dramas Paradise Lost, Sils Maria — starring Kristen Stewart and Juliette Binoche — and Eden. Corbet's other credits include Simon Killer and TV's 24. He is repped by manager Brian Young at Killer Moxie and WME.

Review for German Car Repair
JEANNE T. on 10/24/2014
"Knowledgable mechanics"
I highly recommend German Car Repair! They are problem solvers and although they cannot control the cost of parts, they are very reasonable in repair costs. I know they will fix the problem and not inflate or do unnecessary work.

So, there's this girl, we'll call her TwoFacedBitch. 2FB for short...or to save me typing time cause they have the same amount of syllables.
I went to high school with 2FB for the first 2 years, then she apparently left to go to another high school.
Long story shy, we know a lot of the same people from high school, we both know our shit when it comes to metal & we're in the same journalism class.
Awesome, right?
For our final journalism project, we were to get in groups & write a zine together.
Seeing as the only thing I give half a shit about is music, I immediately stood up, ran across the room & recruited 2FB, a.k.a. the only metalhead I know aside from DisasterCrush1, to be in my group.
She said yes without hesitation, 3 more people joined the group & we named ourselves The Destroyers.
Sometime after this, I decided it would be fitting to add 2FB on Facebook.
We have a huge amount of mutual friends, I know her personally & now we have this big final assignment to work on together.
Well, she denied my request.
For what reason?
Who the fuck knows.
I gotta say, I felt pretty awkward the next day when I had to walk into class & see 2FB but the bitch literally ignores me unless she has to talk to me.
I may not always seem like it on this site, but I'm a very nice girl.
I'm always willing to make friends with ANYONE & when I find out someone listens to metal, it's in my blood to want to get to know them more.
On days where we're put into groups, she's my best friend.
We talk about bands, people from high school & problems within the music industry.
It just seems natural for us to be friends.
Then, on days where we actually have a lecture, she sits nowhere near me, doesn't talk to me & won't make eye contact.
The fuck is wrong with you, 2FB?
The reason this issue is just coming up now, is because in the hallway yesterday, the crazy bitch was taking up all the air with her ridiculous stories.
It was me, her, & about 10 of our classmates in an empty hallway waiting for our professor to show up.
Though the hallway is only so wide, she managed to stand right in front of me & not look at me once.
No shit. This chick was so close to me I could smell her cigarette scented clothes, her Red Bull breath & the vanilla perfume she sprays all over herself.
At that point, I was done.
She started telling a story about a girl in her class who doesn't like her because she listens to metal & then she moved on to lying about going out to a lesbian bar & getting her drinks paid for all night.
Trust me, a girl can tell when another girl is lying.
Everyone laughed at her bullshit stories, she get louder & louder, & my head began to hurt.
You can't try to make friends with everyone.
Because people are CRAZY.
Even though 2FB has a lot in common with me, she obviously has a problem that I don't have a solution for.
We'll be in our groups again tomorrow so I know it'll be another fuddy-buddy day, but I just can't be bothered anymore.
I'm going to make sure to keep to myself & not talk to 2FB unless I have to.
There's a dude in my group who listens to Killswitch & he seems to be the same person every day, so maybe I'll keep my metal conversations exculsive with him.
I'm excited to work on this zine & finally write on the subject of something that actually interests me.
I can't allow stupid bitches to get in my way...

A couple of months ago I had this girl come to my house to pick up some stuff I was giving away and we started talking about scrapbooking when she noticed my stuff. Anyway, she told me about how the lady at the end of my street had passed away a few months back and how the family was going to give her a bunch of the lady's scrapbooking stuff. (evidently she was a big scrapbooker). Well, a few days ago I notice that this house has these weird tents in front of their house
They are having a yard sale and guess what they are selling?
Yup, you guessed it. All of the lady's stuff. I am kind of creeped out that she has passed and they are selling her stuff. But, I am planning on going over tomorrow after church to see what they have.

JERUSALEM {AP} A suspected Palestinian militant on Thursday set off explosives in a taxi van at a road junction in northern Israel after being pursued by police for miles. One person was killed and nine hurt, including three who were in serious condition, reports said.
The explosion near the Israeli Arab town of Umm el-Fahem came only a day after police safely detonated a bomb in Tel Aviv left in a plastic bag.
Israel's Deputy Defense Minister Ephraim Sneh held Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat responsible for Thursday's blast, saying he enabled such attacks by refusing to act against the militant groups Hamas and Islamic Jihad.
"As long as activists of Hamas and the Jihad are walking around free in the West Bank and Gaza, the responsibility is of those who let them walk around freely," Sneh said. "We see the Palestinian Authority as responsible for the situation."
The explosion went off shortly before 2 p.m.
Witness Ilan Zvuluni said he was a few car-lengths behind the taxi van. "I saw wounded people lying on road, a boy among them." Soldiers treated some of the wounded, Zvuluni said.
Israeli radio and television said one person was killed and nine injured, but it was unclear how many of the casualties were from the van and whether other people were hurt as well.
Police said the van had been under surveillance since it left Tel Aviv, about 35 miles away. When the van approached the intersection, "a police car blocked the path of the suspect car," said Bentsi Saar, police commander of northern Israel.
"Those sitting in the van, probably terrorists, set off the explosive device," Saar said.
It was not clear, however, how many of the people in the van were involved in an intended attack.
In recent weeks, Israel has been on heightened alert for bomb attacks by Islamic militants.
During the past five months of violence, Palestinian militants have set off several car bombs inside Israel, killing several people and wounding dozens. Overall, 411 people have been killed, including 339 Palestinians, 57 Israelis and 15 others.
On the political front, Israeli elder statesman Shimon Peres on Thursday became the Labor Party's unopposed choice for foreign minister, virtually assuring him the job in Prime Minister-elect Ariel Sharon's hard-line government.
It is not clear to what extent Peres, a former prime minister and leading proponent of a peace deal with the Palestinians, will be able to shape policy in a Cabinet led by the hawkish Sharon and including hardline ministers.
Sharon has said his top priority is restoring a sense of security to Israelis, and that peace talks will resume only after Palestinians stop all violence.
Peres dismissed criticism by Labor Party doves that Sharon, a tough former general, is using him to give his government a moderate image, without actually trying to move peace efforts forward.
"I do not feel I have the qualities of a fig leaf," Peres said.
Sharon has already promised the post to Labor, in addition to the defense portfolio, the agriculture ministry and five other Cabinet seats.
The transition in the Defense Ministry comes at a time when debate in the army is intensifying on how to contain Palestinian attacks on Israelis.
Sneh, the deputy defense minister, has said he is in favor of more frequent operations by elite special forces against Palestinians responsible for the shootings and bomb attacks.
For a long time the army has had a contingency plan to reoccupy the Palestinian cities.
Security sources said that although the army could do so without apparent difficulty, Israel's military intelligence is categorically opposed to such a plan because of the renewed friction with the Palestinian population that would follow.
Instead, military intelligence favors concerted pressure on the Palestinian Authority by economic as well as military means and by attempting to enlist international pressure on the Palestinians to reduce the violence, said the sources.
Palestinian officials, meanwhile, reacted angrily to accusations by Lt. Gen. Shaul Mofaz that the Palestinian Authority was becoming a "terrorist entity."
Palestinian security chief Jibril Rajoub accused Mofaz of trying to build a political future at the expense of the Palestinians. "He should know that the worst kind of terrorism and violence is the occupation," Rajoub said.

LOL...this is gonna be SO much fun...I did watch Gonzalez tonight on Brit's show...and he didn't look like he felt guilty about anything...
and judging from that way that President Bush is purposely bringing up the subject, I think he feels on pretty solid footing as well..
BTW...Leahy DOES pee on the carpet..because he is "leaky" Leahy.
Off topic a tad...but did anyone hear Mark Levin tonight? I caught a few minutes..He was discussing some memomrandum that a Cinto DoJ atty wrote in 1994 ( and the guy has now written something attacking Bush about the NSA wiretaps)back then he said that the president.( Clinton) has the absolute authority to IGNORE any act of Congress that impedes his constitutional authority...anyone have any info?
Yeah the picture that it congers up is revolting. This will be very interesting and that thread should be pretty informative. I will bet that "Mr Potato head" Tim Russert does not bring it up on his show, and I would be willing to bet that the other liberal biased Shows don't either.

Skip to comments.Lawmakers negotiating to double donor limit, allow online registration
Posted on 06/09/2013 6:55:30 AM PDT by afraidfortherepublic
Madison Democrats and Republicans in the Assembly are working together on a bill that would double the amount donors can give politicians and allow voters to register online.
It's a surprise collaboration that emerged just days after Democrats reacted with outrage at a public hearing to an earlier version of the bill from Republicans. A new draft of the measure made public Friday night shows the GOP was willing to drop some elements that Democrats consider onerous to accomplish something both parties want raising contribution limits.
Meanwhile, a bill has been put on the fast track that would require women seeking abortions to get ultrasounds and require doctors performing the procedure to have hospital admitting privileges.
On a third key issue, Senate Republicans are deciding whether to go along with a venture capital bill approved by the Assembly on Thursday.
Senate Majority Leader Scott Fitzgerald (R-Juneau) and some other GOP senators would like to go a different route so the state funds could flow to biotech firms. That plan would be certain to draw fierce opposition from anti-abortion groups that oppose research that destroys human embryos.
The original plan to overhaul election laws, by Rep. Jeff Stone (R-Greendale), included elements that would make it harder to recall local officials, tweak the state's stalled voter ID law and put new restrictions on when voters can cast ballots in clerks' offices in the weeks before an election.
All of those ideas were dropped in the new version of the bill, which is sponsored by Stone, Assembly Speaker Robin Vos (R-Rochester), Rep. Fred Kessler (D-Milwaukee) and Rep. Terese Berceau (D-Madison).
(Excerpt) Read more at jsonline.com ...
Legislature tweaking Bills. On-line registration will increase voter fraud, IMO
FReep Mail me if you want on, or off, this Wisconsin interest ping list.
The redrafted bill would double the amount donors can give candidates, meaning those running for governor could receive up to $20,000 from each supporter, up from $10,000. Limits for Assembly candidates would rise from $500 to $1,000 and for Senate candidates from $1,000 to $2,000.
In a change that would affect everyday voters, people with valid Wisconsin driver's licenses could register to vote on a secure state website up to 20 days before an election. Backers say it is a key way to boost turnout.
The Assembly Campaign and Elections Committee is to vote on the bill Monday and the full Assembly is slated to vote Wednesday.
Online voter registration=Democrat Vote Fraud=Death of Conservative candidates for office=Death of America as we know it.
And Republicans go along with this merely because of increased contribution limits (aka 30 pieces of silver).
Very disappointed in our State Republicans on this. VERY.

Cities for life
The Global Summit on inclusive, smart and resilient cities
On 21 and 22 November 2016, the Mayor of Paris, Anne Hidalgo, and the Mayor of Medellin, Federico Gutierrez, will co-host the second edition of Cities for Life, the global Summit on inclusive, smart and resilient cities in partnership with le Forum SmartCity-La Tribune at Paris City Hall.
Cities attract and create wealth. Yet, fast-growing urbanization fosters massive and rising inequalities in income and leads way too often to social exclusion. These inequalities cannot keep on widening: we have to invent solutions which, thanks to new economic opportunities and new technologies, will enable inequalities reduction as well as promoting a more harmonious and ecological development in cities.
That is why Mayor Hidalgo and Mayor Gutierrez have wished to create an unprecedented international mobilization of mayors, local leaders, corporations, NGOs and experts to reinvent the "city for all"!
In the wake of Habitat III and building on its results, Cities for Life will be the first international meeting of cities under the aegis of the UN, OECD, Rockefeller and Ford Foundations to work on concrete initiatives to promote inclusive growth and social innovation.
For two days, more than 500 local leaders, corporations and experts from all over the world will share preparatory work and solutions through co-creation sessions, workshops and a start-ups village to build the inclusive cities of the future.

By Mary Alice Ross on January 26, 2016
Good quality and bright
I gave this flashlight a 5 for its rugged frame and excellent illumination. It has a very bright light and two other features that dim and strobes the light . The instructions are the only negative part of the X-5500. Instructions were printed on the box but does not tell you what the round "in" port is for. Has a standard USB port for charging devices with a USB cord but you would have to supply your own cable if you wanted to charge like your I-phone.
All in all a good reliable light that is worth owning.

2014 NFL Draft: Alabama's McCarron outduels LSU's Mettenberger
The 2013 version of Alabama-LSU wasn't the defense-dominated slugfest we've come to expect. Alabama's 38-17 victory combined for the most points (55) since 2007. It was just the fifth time since 1983 the final score in this rivalry combined for more than 50 points.
In fact, led by senior quarterbacks Zach Mettenberger and AJ McCarron, Bryant-Denny Stadium was positively awash in playmakers.
McCarron played with the steady accuracy and composure that has characterized his historic career with the Crimson Tide. He may not have the flashy numbers (14/20 for 179 yards and three touchdowns) to actually win the Heisman Trophy but he looks like a shoo-in to finish higher than fifth place -- the highest any Alabama quarterback has ever finished.
Frankly, NFL scouts probably couldn't care less about McCarron's Heisman chances. They likely were instead noting the poise McCarron demonstrated on the big stage, as well as decision-making and easily caught passes that helped guide the Tide to the victory.
McCarron was aided by true freshman tight end O.J. Howard and two super-sophomores in wide receiver Amari Cooper and T.J. Yeldon, each of whom possess the exciting traits to have already captured scouts' imagination but are not yet eligible for an early jump to the NFL.
Virtually all of LSU's playmakers, on the other hand, are at least three years removed from high school, making Saturday night's showdown against Nick Saban's defense as important a test as any collegiate game they'll ever play.
Mettenberger's numbers were comparable to McCarron in every way except the one that mattered most. While LSU's senior completed more passes for more yardage (16/23 for 241 yards), he only threw one touchdown.
Frankly, Mettenberger's performance Saturday night was a microcosm of his career with the Tigers. More than any other quarterback in this class, Mettenberger is willing to make risky throws. He isn't afraid to throw the ball into coverage in large part because he possesses the velocity and accuracy to fit it through tight windows. This is true not only on passes in which Mettenberger must drive the ball but also when using touch to loft it over defenders, as was the case on a 45-yard bomb to Jarvis Landry on LSU's first drive of the night.
While Mettenberger made several NFL-caliber throws on the night, he was very fortunate that usually-reliable defenders C.J. Mosley and Deion Belue dropped potential interceptions in which the LSU senior attempted to force passes.
McCarron is often labeled as a game-manager because of his willingness to take check down options. At times, Mettenberger would have been better served taking a page from his foe's strategy as his questionable situational awareness led to problems for the Tigers.
This was nowhere more obvious than when Mettenberger attempted a rather desperate wheel route into the end zone to Landry on 4th down with 9:10 remaining in the fourth quarter. Mettenberger appeared to make a pre-determined throw, ignoring other receivers breaking open who could have at least earned the Tigers another set of downs.
Quarterbacks always get the limelight but LSU's wideouts Landry and Odell Beckham each flashed the traits to earn high draft consideration, themselves.
Beckham entered the game leading the SEC with an average of 207.3 all-purpose yards per contest. Though he only caught three passes for 42 yards against the Tide Saturday night, a dazzling 82-yard kick return in the fourth quarter showcased the junior's remarkable vision, agility and acceleration.
While Beckham is the big play specialist, Landry is the more polished route-runner and reliable receiver.
One relatively simple play from Landry demonstrated his reliability. Dragging across the middle, he reached out to pluck a slightly-underthrown ball from Mettenberger, paused to allow linebacker Trey DePriest to slip past him and accelerated to gain a first down late in the third quarter.
With Alabama out-scoring LSU 21-3 in the second half, Tigers' running back Jeremy Hill had little opportunity to boost his stock in this contest but the 6-foot-2, 235-pound second-year star showed off his power and surprisingly nimble feet.

129The Final Push
Expand Messages
- Feb 1, 2005OUR CHILDREN LEFT BEHIND
Suddenly, and certainly much too quickly, it is February 1st. As we promised in our "Hiatus" Home page at the end of November, we're back for the final IDEA 2004 activity. We hope you all celebrated happy holidays and have had a safe and happy beginning of the New Year so far. The Our Children Left Behind [OCLB] team has had some time to reconnect with family and other people and activities important to us during our hiatus. We also have been reintroduced to the adage that work expands to fill the time available. We've been able to think and talk things out among ourselves, but already other needs and activities have swooped in to fill the time we intended to use "resting" from the IDEA reauthorization battle. But isn't that the way it goes …
In our "Hiatus" Home page we wrote:
"The [IDEA] fight isn't over. The changes approved by the Conference Committee and by Congress still must go through the rulemaking process and all 50 states – and all of their local school districts – need to implement the changes. There are many places and ways we parents and advocates can make a difference in how the 'new' law actually gets put into place in local schools. OCLB is learning about rulemaking plans and ways to influence the process. You can be sure we will remain involved."
And we shall remain involved, but in a streamlined fashion. The IDEA changes signed into law in December take effect this coming July. Over the next several months www.OurChildrenLeftBehind.com will remain your "go to" site for the latest information on the IDEA implementation process. We also will be making timely suggestions on how you can help minimize the damage to IDEA by working to keep your state special education laws and rules strong.
But the saying goes that "all politics is local." And so it is. The spotlight is off Congress. The fight now is going to be in the state legislatures and local school districts. The soldiers in this fight now must be the parents and families who live in the states and the local and state parent organizations who support them.
We founders formed OCLB to unite, inspire and support parents, families and organizations in the massive national effort to save IDEA in Congress. OCLB cannot fulfill the same role in 50 separate states and thousands of local districts. We have given the direct support we can, but now it's your turn. The job is local, and the locals have to run it.
During the IDEA rulemaking stage OCLB will modify its Home page practices. We will publish OCLB Home pages intermittently, but not more than once a week. Instead we are shifting our efforts to the parts of OCLB's site that let you, the reader, inform your neighbors and supporters about the activities and strategies being used in your states.
To that end, we strongly encourage you to take advantage of our IDEA Reauthorization Message Board. It provides a venue through which you can share your thoughts and experiences. To make it even simpler, we've removed the requirement that you must register with ezBoard in order to post. (This also means that posts can be made anonymously, if that's an issue for you.)
If you've attended or plan to attend one of the public meetings, we (and undoubtedly many others) would love to hear about it! A couple parents have already done so. (See p078.ezboard.com/fourchildrenleftbehindfrm2.showMessage?topicID=229.topic and p078.ezboard.com/fourchildrenleftbehindfrm2.showMessage?topicID=230.topic)
If you've submitted input via e-mail, please post it on the Message Board so that others can see your contribution. Don't assume your concerns are being expressed by others! As you prepare your feedback, you might find the following resources helpful: the CRS Analysis of IDEA 2004 and A User's Guide to the 2004 IDEA Reauthorization (P.L. 108-446 and the Conference Report) by Bobby Silverstein, J.D., Director of The Center for the Study and Advancement of Disability Policy.
OCLB is going to go to the end of the reauthorization process with you. We look forward to your input and suggestions. As huge as the action in Congress was, it doesn't compare with what parents and families now face in the individual states. But remember this: The people who really must hear from you now are not your Senators or Representatives. The people who need you most are your children, your neighbors who parent children who have special needs, and your local school districts. Parents remain central to the IDEA process. We just must hold on to and help each other now more than ever before. OCLB wants to help, but you have to do this last part for yourself. That is as it should be.

Now this is what I call a BIG game. Imagine, if you will, a sort of Gauntlet, only played from side to side instead of from above, and populate it with eight characters instead of four. Now you've got it! I have to say I'm impressed by the quality of the programming which put this game together. The graphics are amazing! A bit lacking in the old sound department, but looking at the characters diving around on the screen, I don't suppose there was any code space left!
You are one of a party of adventurers on the world of Krynn, a world designed by Dungeon Masters who wanted more dragons in their RPGing. You are fighting to protect Krynn from domination by the wicked Takhisis, Queen of Darkness. (Coo') Can you retrieve the Disks of Mishakal from the lair of Khisanth, deep in the ruins of Xak Tsaroth? Can you even spell it? And who's going to untie your tongue after saying all that?
AD&D is one of the most popular, and oldest, role playing games around, and its devotees outnumber even those not-so-cunningly disguised Brossettes. So, it was only a matter of time before the game was turned into a computerised version, and now SSI and US Gold have done it. So how has the old game fared?
AD&D was a multiplayer game. The computer version, although having eight characters to play, plays them all through the one player. This swiftness of the switching between characters puts paid to any joystick switching between players. So you can't use the game as a replacement for AD&D (as if you could). But it does have the complexity of a game of AD&D. if you play it properly.
The basic part of the game puts you on the screen as the first character in the party. This is the first face on the left of the top row on screen. Hitting the space bar brings up the Main Menu screen, and this is what separates AD&D from any other old pick 'em up. You can check on a character's capabilities and make sure he or she is up to the tasks in hand, like combat or magic. Magic users can cast spells, as long as they're on the top row of the main screen. For users of staffs, depending on who wields them, spells include Charm, Sleep, Magic Missile, Web, Detect Magic, Detect Invisible, Final Strike, Burning Hands, Cure Light Wounds, Protection From Evil, Find Traps, Hold Person, Spiritual Hammer, Prayer, Cure Critical Wounds, Raise Dead, and Deflect Dragon Breath. Phew! This gigantic reel of spells gives you a particularly sharp look at how in depth this game is.
How do you play though? Just charging around like in an arcade adventure will get all your characters killed very quickly. Careful mapping and utilisation of spells and charms is needed if you're to survive longer than a few yards in the dangerous world of Krynn. And it's worth waiting to see the dragons... or not, depending on whether you beat them or end up as a crisp little twirl on the flagstones!
AD&D is a mammoth game, and represents stupendous value for money, especially if you like your games with a bit of strategy and lots of action.
Here is the main action screen, containing the combat window, and the piccies of your team. Ugly bunch, aren't they? Well, except for the fruity young wench over yonder... hey doll, how's it going..? THWAK!
The Main Menu contains access points to other characters and their attributes, allowing you to check their fitness for certain tasks. Magic users are vital to the party's success in gaining access to the Disks of Mishakal.

Most entrepreneurs are inspired to build the business of their dreams because they value their freedom to create and innovate, they have great products and services and they want to make a difference in the world through them. And, of course, they want to enjoy ever increasing levels of prosperity – financially and otherwise.
But without the right blend of structure, systems, and strategies, building the business of your dreams can quickly become suffering the worst of your nightmares.
Use the following nine steps as a guide to accelerating your business to greater levels of freedom, lasting contribution, and expanding prosperity.
- FOCUS first on what is most important for you to accomplish with your business, your work, and your life. Identify your compelling reasons why accomplishing this is so important to you and use this 'compelling why' as your guiding beacon through the inevitable 'ups and downs' of business and life.
- Identify the strength of your STRENGTHS, along with the strength of your blockers. This is your Net Talent (akin to Net Profit, which is Gross revenue, minus Expenses).
- Develop the business STRUCTURE (roles, processes, procedures, systems, etc.) that best allows you to focus on your two or three strongest core competencies and overall net talent. Build a team around you that complements your net talent. Delegate and outsource anything and everything else that is not one of your core competencies, even if you are accomplished at some of those things.
- SYSTEMIZE all the processes and procedures that are the most critical to your success (as defined by revenue, profits, value, and personal satisfaction) so that the business can operate sustainably and profitably without you having to be involved in every minute detail (as entrepreneurs are inclined to do). It has been said that, "If you are the major cog in the wheel, you are also the major clog in the wheel."
- Implement STRATEGIES for leadership, marketing and sales, logistical operations, and delivery of your products and services that are integrated and supportive of one another and that optimize the net talent of you and your team. In other words, these strategies feed off of and support one another.
- Cultivate and acquire the SKILLS needed to transform your business from high-potential to high-performance.
- Develop internal and external SUPPORT structures and systems to help you stay focused on your highest-purpose objectives, strategies, and action plan. It is widely known that a spacecraft headed to the moon is off-course at least 80% of the time; as humans headed towards a target, do you think we are any better than that?
- Define near-term and longer-term ACTION PLANS for each of the areas of your business that are most critical for building freedom, revenue, profits, value, and contribution. Along with action plans, it's vital to establish a structure of ACCOUNTABILITY so that you make sure you FOLLOW-THROUGH on your action items.
- Finally, TRACK AND MEASURE your progress and results in key performance areas. Use this information to make course corrections along the way.
These steps are like the "backbone" of any successful business. I regularly refer back to these very steps in my work with entrepreneurs around the world. And, I apply them to my own business.
By developing your business with each of these nine steps in mind, you'll be well on your way to building a high-value business – one that provides lasting value to your clients and customers, produces outstanding profit, and allows you to contribute to enhancing the lives of others in meaningful ways.
It's a challenging journey, no doubt, but the payoff can be enormous – ultimate freedom.
