FOUND: The Bespoke Big Daddy Tote from Corroon
Ohhh Big Daddy!
Yeah, I am loving the Bespoke Big Daddy Tote I found from the fine folks at Corron. Not only is it a great size and of the highest quality – you can have it customized with a hand painted monogram or image.
About the Bespoke Big Daddy Tote from Corroon:
"In the iconic Soussevlei dunes of Namibia, Big Daddy is the tallest of them all. Its dramatic sands rise up over 365 meters high. Our Big Daddy is a roomy leather boat and tote, with a detachable clutch that snaps out for smaller adventures. And just as these iconic sand dunes change from brown to red as they age, this beautiful, soft leather will get even better over time."
This is not an inexpensive tote – but an investment and a statement – and something that you will have forever.

Missing Pieces by Laura Pearson
Publisher: Agora Books
Publishing Date: 21st June 2018
Source: Received from the publisher in return for an honest review, thank you!
Number of pages: 277
Genre: Literature/Fiction (Adult)
Buy the Book: Kindle | Paperback
What if the one thing that kept you together was breaking you apart?
All Linda wants to do is sleep. She won't look at her husband. She can't stand her daughter. And she doesn't want to have this baby. Having this baby means moving on, and she just wants to go back to before. Before their family was torn apart, before the blame was placed.
Alienated by their own guilt and struggling to cope, the Sadler family unravels. They grow up, grow apart, never talking about their terrible secret.
That is until Linda's daughter finds out she's pregnant. Before she brings another Sadler into the world, Bea needs to know what happened twenty-five years ago. What did they keep from her? What happened that couldn't be fixed?
A devastating mistake, a lifetime of consequences. How can you repair something broken if pieces are missing?
Linda and Tom have just lost their little daughter Phoebe to a tragic accident. But they still have the other daughter, and there is another baby on its way – so they have a reason to keep going. Tom tries, but Linda submerges in her grief.
Fast forward and the unborn baby is to have a baby of her own. There is a tension between her and her older sister Esme and her father, they're really not so much in touch – there are too many secrets and lies between them but maybe now is the time to build new bridges?
The book is split into two parts. In the first one we experience what has happened and follow the after – tragedy lives of Linda, Tom, Esme and the little Bea. This part was really heart – wrenching and it touched at all the right heart – strings, it was emotionally wrecking and all the feelings were palpable. The second part takes place 25 years later, and here I had a feeling that it is a different read, to be honest, that it is written by a different person – it just read differently and well, let's be honest, it wasn't as gripping and compelling as part one.
The great thing in this book was that it was really easy to relate to the characters, to understand them. I really didn't want to judge Linda, I've never been in her shoes and I pray to God to never be in her shoes – loosing a child is the biggest nightmare of each parent, that's for sure. However, I couldn't help but feel annoyed with her – she had another daughter, and later on Bea was born, and yet Linda has chosen to desolate, she didn't even try to try. It looked like she wanted Bea to disappear, Esme to look after herself – she was for sure no comfort to them, and she didn't even try, and this is what bothered me so much about her character. That she just gave up. But also her grief, her shame and her rage were so natural to understand. Tom, who has his own burden and guilt to bear, tried his best to help Linda and to provide his daughters with relatively normal childhood – I was in awe how great he was with the girls, and how much and how long he tried. Even with the mistakes he did, I kept my fingers crossed for Tom, as he does his best to keep his family together, to blend together what's left, to go on somehow, and it was heart – breaking to see that whatever he did, it was not working.And Esme – though Esme was really not to blame, right? Full of guilt and bearing her own burden her whole life, finding herself in an awful position. Bea's life was like pre-programmed through the loss of Phoebe, by the unspeakable truth, and I can imagine how hard it was to grow up in the shadows of ignorance, of not knowing, and secrets.
It is Laura Pearson's debut novel and it turned out to be a great read. The author has skills to tell a gripping, intriguing and heart – wrenching story and really has a way with words. She can really deal with feelings and emotions, bringing them all easily on the paper and the family portrait that she has painted in "Missing Pieces" is incredibly realistic. The way she describes grief and pain just gets under your skin and you really experience this all, together with the characters. I, however, quickly guessed what has happened to the middle daughter and the circumstances, and I personally think the book would be even better if it was explained earlier on.
Altogether, "Missing Pieces" was a sad, but not too overwhelmingly depressing, book – and it's for sure not easy to write such a novel, to find this balance, to not to push this limit of being too depressing, too teary, and the author has really done it in a great way. This was a poignant and heart – wrenching story about regret, about losing hope, and about not giving up, about Missing Pieces – yes! – and how important they are to leave the past behind and to know the truth that affects you as well. A gripping story about how a tragedy can shape lives, emotionally raw tale of depression, grief, secrets and lies, a story about a family damaged by the death of a young daughter, by betrayals, by depression and lies, with characters that were very well layered and with realistic family dynamics. A great debut and I am looking forward to read more from Laura Pearson.

- Strongly recommended - you will not be disappointed
by Cerbera on 30/07/2019 Fantastic discovery! They are excellent value for money. Neutral, detailed and very engaging sound. Coherent across the frequency range. I agree with the other review that the sound is very detailed, but not fatiguing. I listen to a wide variety of music and it suits all well, not favouring any particular genre. They have a high quality feel and come with an excellent cable and wide range of tips.
- Quality Easy Listening
by Tennytack on 21/07/2019 What a discovery these latest gems from Orvieti are, not just a brilliant neutral non-fatiguing sound but real depth and amazing sonic control across the sound stage. The box presentation oozes quality and the supplied cable is clearly a key component plus a real leather case and a large range of fittings to please most ears. These phones will beautifully compliment a hi-def 16-24 bit input Tidal streamers will love them. Great Value compared to many in the market buy with confidence .
I had not heard of the brand before purchasing and had been considering the Campfire IO. I saw variable online reviews of the latter and excellent reviews of the OH300. I am glad I listened to the helpful advice from the staff at Hifiheadphones.

The owners of Cascadale have put their 25-year-old freehold condominium development up for collective sale with a reserve price of $270 million, marketing agent JLL announced yesterday.
This translates to a land rate of about $1,071 per sq ft per plot ratio, after including an estimated development charge of about $17 million and before factoring in any bonus gross floor areas, said JLL.
The owners stand to receive between $1.4 million and $4 million each, said JLL.
JLL senior consultant Karamjit Singh said demand and values for homes in this area are expected to rise by 10 per cent to 20 per cent over the next three to five years.
This is in the light of development plans for areas surrounding Changi Airport, which recently saw the launch of Jewel Changi Airport.
Another development is the upcoming Terminal 5, which aims to handle twice the current number of tourist arrivals.
The 134-unit Cascadale sits on a site zoned as "residential" under the 2014 Master Plan, and has a land size of 167,528 sq ft. It has a gross plot ratio of 1.6 and an allowable building height of up to 12 storeys, or 45m above mean sea level, subject to approval from the authorities.
The development is located in Upper Changi Road East, some 350m from Upper Changi MRT station, two stations from Changi Airport and Jewel. It is close to the Singapore University of Technology and Design, Changi City Point, Changi Business Park and the Singapore Expo.
Cascadale may be redeveloped into a condominium project comprising up to 292 units with an average size of 85 sq m per apartment, subject to approval and payment of development charges.
According to JLL, the location is also attractive for redevelopment into serviced residences, with approval from the authorities.
The recently unveiled draft 2019 Master Plan outlines plans to transform the entire Changi East area into an innovative lifestyle and economic cluster, centred on aviation-related businesses and industries.
Moreover, Mr Singh said there are no new condominium projects in the pipeline for District 16, which includes areas such as Bedok, Upper East Coast Road, Sennett Road, Eastwood and Tanah Merah.
"Aside from a small site in Upper East Coast Road sold in 2017, there has been no freehold residential site sold (in the district) since 2010," he added.
JLL believes that although collective sales of residential sites have "practically come to a halt" since the cooling measures in July last year, Cascadale stands a reasonably good chance of securing a buyer due to these unique factors and a reasonable reserve price.
The tender will close on July 10 at 2.30pm.

Paul Taylor @PaulBromford, from Bromford Housing, has blogged for us ahead of our 'Inspiring public services to deliver independence and well-being through digital ambition' seminar on 5 and 14 June. Read on to find out more about digital change, the cultural barriers and breaking free from the shackles…
We live in exceptional times.
For £50 or less you can buy an Android tablet at your local supermarket. It won't be the most sophisticated bit of technology on the market – but it will give you access to an internet supporting half the earth's population.
Over 3 billion people are online, sharing news, forming new communities, chronicling the history of our planet, and shaping its future. Yet, public sector organisations are still relatively slow at adapting to the opportunities of digital technology.
So if people can change their lives with a piece of kit costing £50, why are organisations spending huge amounts of time and resources on 'digital transformations' that often don't achieve their objectives?
The problem is that digital change requires a completely different mindset not just skill-set. Today our customers are bombarded with thousands of pieces of information every single day, and their attention span has deteriorated rapidly.
Redesigning our services around them is more cultural than technological. It means we need to adopt different organisational behaviours.
I see a few cultural barriers we need to get over if we are to keep up with the expectations of our citizens and communities:
- Organisations are still over-thinking digital and being cautious – waiting for the landscape to settle before they decide what they do. Arguably this 'wait and see' option is more 'wait and die'.
- Sometimes we are simply taking existing ways of working and digitising them – effectively just transferring today's problems to another platform.
- Some are resisting change because they think talk of artificial intelligence will upset their staff or their users – as if somehow their staff and users live in a parallel universe where Siri, Alexa, Cortana and Google don't exist.
- And there are those who see digital purely as an opportunity to cut costs. Short term thinking rather than seeing it as an investment in your future.
It sounds simplistic – but a lot of these barriers could be negotiated if we just started with the user and shaped our digital offer around the relationship they need.
At Bromford we have launched an approach that we call Neighbourhood Coaching. It's the result of all the testing , piloting and exploring we've been doing over the past seven years. The learning from all these pilots has brought us to an overriding conclusion: we can have the most impact with our communities when we truly get to know them and are freed from the shackles of how we used to do things.
Those shackles include silo working, restrictive policies, a reliance on contact centres and customer relationship 'management' software.
The opportunity for us is to support the right relationship with the right technology – where digital becomes an enabler to a greater purpose. For us that's less about Bromford as the end destination and more as Bromford as a platform for connecting people to achieve what they want.
Some of this will be achieved by digital tools and some of this won't. Our learning has been the approach is best formed by just getting technology into the hands of our colleagues and customers and trying things out in a low cost, low risk way.
Most of us can't tell if we like something or not by reading about it. We need to see it, feel it and experience it. That's why we focus on what we call 'tests'. Tests are typically time-limited, minimal resource and therefore low risk. An example might be mocking something up, like a web page, and asking customers what they think, or giving them access to Amazon Alexa and seeing what they get out of it. The whole principle is to get things in front of people as soon as possible to reduce spending time and money on expensive failures.
How ambitious could your organisation be in using technology to deliver better public services?
The answer is with your customers and users – and it will probably be a lot less complicated than you imagine.

Thoroughly Modern Millie opened at the Marquis Theatre on April 18th 2002 it is winner of six Tony Awards including best musical and five Drama Desk Awards also including best musical.
Though based on the movie, the stage version of THOROUGHLY MODERN MILLIE is a new musical. Of the 18 songs in the show, only three are from the 1967 film and those include all-new orchestrations and arrangements (several also include new music and lyrics). Four songs are standards from the 1920's and eleven are new songs by Jeanine Tesori (music) and Dick Scanlan (lyrics).
"Millie Dillmount has arrived in New York City from a small town in Kansas determined to become, thoroughly modern. This means bobbing her hair, wearing short skirts, drinking illegal booze, and-most important-marrying her boss, the richer the better. She takes up residence at the Hotel Priscilla, most of whose inhabitants are young wannabe actresses, and the proprietress Mrs. Meers, who wears kimonos and speaks with a thick Japanese accent. There's something fishy about her, and it turns out that she's involved in a white slavery ring, assisted by Chinese immigrants Ching Ho and Bun Foo, who work in the laundry room.
"Millie, a crackerjack stenographer, quickly lands a job at the Sincere Trust Insurance Company, working forthe wealthy and movie-star handsome Trevor Graydon III. She sets her sights on him, but she's distracted by Jimmy Smith, who was the first New Yorker she bumped into when she first arrived in town. Meanwhile, Millie's pal, the prim but well-heeled Miss Dorothy Brown, seems to be involved somehow with Jimmy as well; and she's Mrs. Meers' prime candidate for the white slavers because she's an orphan, and therefore won't be missed when she's kidnapped. There's also Muzzy Van Hossmere, the rich and beautiful singing star, who for some reason is a friend of Jimmy's and quickly becomes Millie's, too... Want to know more go see the show.
Thoroughly Modern Millie is a thoroughly fun romp full of lighthearted singing, dancing, intrigue and laughs.
Starring Sutton Foster as Millie, Leslie Uggams as Muzzy Von Hossmere, Terry Burrell as Mrs. Meers, Christian Borle as Jimmy Smith, Angela Christiansen as Miss Dorothy Brown, Ben Davis as Trevor Graydon, Davis Rhee as Ching Ho and Francis Jue as Bun Foo. Book by Richard Morris, directed by Dick Scanlan, musical direction by Michael Rafter and choreography by Rob Ashford.

Whoever gets to name hurricanes didn't realize how much influence they have. They decided to name the latest tropical storm hitting the Caribbean 'Karen,' not anticipating the onslaught of memes that flooded Twitter earlier.
According to Bored Panda, Karen refers to the concept of the suburban mom who demands to speak to the manager and will not leave until she does so. If she has a petty issue with customer service, she will absolutely let them hear it. She tends to exhibit entitled behavior, much to the chagrin of those around her. While these people are not always named Karen, the name caught on and now the concepts are synonymous.
Some of the resulting memes took on a surreal quality with their subject matter:
Other users on Twitter focused on the poor managers that would be caught in her tumultuous path:
While this hurricane has been downgraded from a storm of a depression, there still is the risk of flash flooding and mudslides. Hopefully those in the area will stay safe, and store managers can hide out from the suburban evil power walking up to the customer service area.

Gorst creek reborn after $30 million cleanup of Navy dump
Standing atop a boulder in an empty creek bed, Jeffry Rodin glances around a ravine
that until recently was hidden by garbage, and whose banks now climb as high as 75
feet. ... Since April 2016, the EPA has led a nearly $30 million effort that's not
only dredged about 1,000 feet of Gorst Creek of nearly 340,000 tons of rubbish but
has rebuilt and restored a fish-bearing Puget Sound stream. ... Workers rescued more
than 100 tons of granite from the site, which Rodin believes may have been part of
a gate belonging to the naval hospital or Puget Sound Naval Shipyard. The granite
has been donated to the parks departments of Bremerton, Poulsbo and Kitsap County

Washington's Running Start program a national standout, study says
A new study says Washington's Running Start program is a national leader when it comes
to helping pave the way for high-school students to eventually finish college. In
this state, the study found, high-school students in Running Start ended up finishing
a college degree or certificate, well above the U.S. average. A majority of those
students received a bachelor's degree. ... But both Jenkins and Jan Yoshiwara, the
head of Washington's State Board for Community and Technical Colleges, say Running Start should expand its reach even further.

Opinion: The opposite of free speech | Diversity
"Rhetoric" is a word which often sounds negative, but the 2000-year-old discipline
which I teach at Highline College has some valuable insights to offer our world in our present moment. If our political
system depends, at least in theory, on people making decisions over their own lives
instead of trusting dictators to do it for them, then people must learn how to come
to some kind of agreement about what to do together.

Washington wine's next generation: Seth Kitzke
Seth Kitzke is quick to say that, as a teen, his only interest in the winemaking process
was that the crushpad was a good place to skateboard. Now 29, Kitzke has done a 180.
The winemaker for Kitzke Cellars recently moved from Seattle back home to the Tri-Cities,
where "grinding" on the crushpad now involves grapes. ... There Seth met his wife,
Audrey; went to South Seattle College to learn winemaking; and worked alongside such winemaking luminaries as Brian Carter
(Brian Carter Cellars in Woodinville), Charlie Hoppes (Fidelitas Wines in Woodinville
and on Red Mountain) and Robert Smasne (Smasne Cellars in Prosser).

Putting a public face on Whatcom County's Sikh population
Only a few years ago, before the current Whatcom County Council member and Sikh community
leader became an elected official, the word was offered as a simple affirmation of
what he assumed most people embraced. We all have contrasting opinions, but 30 years
of living in America as a brown-skinned immigrant taught [Satpal Singh] Sidhu that
we still agree on a basic framework — the rule of law. Now, with racial violence in
American streets, and the nation's love-hate history with immigration swinging, in
some corners, again toward the latter, even optimists such as Sidhu must concede that
it has become more of an open question. But on balance, for Sidhu's Punjabi immigrant
brothers and sisters — and other nonwhites — America remains a land of opportunity.
... Sidhu worked as an engineer from Alberta to California before finally settling
down in Whatcom, where he was employed in the refining industry at Cherry Point —
still an economic mainstay of the county. He later became a dean at Bellingham Technical College, and later ran a Bellingham solar-energy business.

A big publisher embraces OER
For years, big-time publishers have been skeptical of open educational resources,
questioning their quality and durability. But one of those publishers, Cengage, is
today announcing a new product line built around OER. Cengage predicts that the use
of OER — free, adaptable educational course materials — could triple over the next
five years. In a report published last year, Cengage said that education and technology
companies were ready to "embrace the movement" — adding their own services and technology
to create "value-added digital solutions that help institutions use OER to its best

Opinion: Innovative teachers for tomorrow's careers
Great teachers are vital to the success of our nation's students. Teaching also happens
to be one of the most rewarding vocations a person can pursue — one that directly
affects the next generation, fuels our economy and changes lives. ... Research affirms
that teachers who are knowledgeable about their content area — particularly in science,
technology, engineering and math — are better able to instruct and inspire students.
But too few of our nation's STEM experts choose to apply their talents to this important

Opinion: Adults and community college degrees
Most community colleges have adopted the mission of serving low-income, underprepared
students who are in need of postsecondary education for any success in employment
and earnings. There is growing consensus that this approach should encourage students
to define a specific program of study at the outset of their college experience, with
the college promoting strategic interventions to keep them on track to completing
their program. But most of those initiatives are directed to students making the transition
from high school to college, and little attention has been paid to applying this approach
to the needs of working adults. Focusing on the student-success needs of adult students
is extremely important to many institutions.

on how to do that.

offered by UW, and a 21-month program in which students spend an additional six months
studying at Tsinghua and receive master's degrees from both universities.

Professors can employ plenty of best practices to reduce academic dishonesty among
students. But those efforts might be doomed if students don't like the course in the

psychology at Ohio State University, whether a student likes or dislikes a class can
disrupt previously established predictors of whether or not they'll cheat.

Many of the patterns of informal voting at the 2010 House of Representatives elections were similar to those observed at previous elections. For example, informality rates were highest for voters in New South Wales, with the 10 divisions recording the highest informality rates all located in Sydney.
The largest single category of informal ballots in 2010 was those with incomplete numbering (number '1' only and other incomplete numbering). However, for the first time the proportion of blank ballots was higher than the proportion of number '1' only ballots. Together, blank and incomplete ballots comprised more than half of all informal ballots at the 2010 House of Representatives election.
While the informality rate for blank ballots doubled between the 2007 and 2010 elections, levels of assumed unintentional informal voting (ballots with incomplete numbering, non-sequential numbering, ticks and crosses and those where the voter has been identified) continue to be higher than levels of assumed intentional informal voting (all other informal ballots).
There are many factors that could influence a voter to intentionally or unintentionally cast an informal vote and it is not possible, in many cases, to accurately quantify or even separately identify the impact these factors might have. Of those factors identified as significant influences on informal voting at previous House of Representatives elections, English language proficiency and the number of candidates appear to be the strongest predictors of informality rates or changes in informality rates in 2010. Analysis relating to differences between state and territory electoral systems and the federal system provided mixed results, suggesting that other factors were more significant influences on informality in 2010.

It's a holiday weekend around these parts and I just spent the morning at the first summer farmers' market with the Magpie and a good friend. Mr.Q has taken over parenting duties for a few hours under the premise that I am now working on photographs on the desktop, downstairs. I am, of course, blogging on the laptop, upstairs.
I could be vacuuming. I could be putting in a load (or six) of laundry. I could be looking further into out planned Monday road trip to some old train tunnels. I could at least be cleaning up from lunch.
But it's a long weekend. I have been lured into looking at Tumblr, where I can, it seems, have all my blog posts, flickr updates, tweets and goodreads quotes appear in one format.
That only works if I bother to go in and update my blog or flickr or goodreads… hey, like now! How productive of me.

Why more complex retirements require a different approach to planning
Financial advisers are now incredibly well qualified, but exams don't test how good they are at explaining complex later life advice in a way clients understand. This insight, coupled with her experience of working with older people in later life within financial services, led Jane Finnerty to co-found The Society of Later Life Advisers (SOLLA).
In 2008, alongside barrister Trish Hanifan, Jane set up SOLLA as a not-for-profit organisation designed to raise standards and accessibility to regulated financial advice for older people and their families.
In our interview Jane explains how more complex and inter-generational retirement planning needs have become and why this necessitates a different approach and skillset from advisers. She explains how and why the unique SOLLA accreditation helps consumers identify advisers who best understand their unique needs across the various stages of retirement.
After all, it's about helping people in later life avoid those 3am moments worrying about paying for care or setting up Powers of Attorney. That's what comes with personalised advice specific to later life.
Jane started her career with Help the Aged, followed by a move in to financial services during the1980's. The Financial Services Authority then approached Jane and asked if she could look at examination standards for long term care and equity release.
This led to Jane considering what could be done for older people to access the right kind of advisor at the right time. In 2008, she and Trish Hanifan founded the Society of Later Life Advisers.
Tune in to hear Jane explain the benefits of working with a SOLLA accredited adviser and what to expect on episode 020 of The Retirement Café Podcast.

In Ghana, where people with some form of disability are found is on the streets begging for their daily bread. Some are even accompanied by either their children or a family member. Their notion is that, they cannot do anything in their condition. These people have a stake in the development of the country and hence there is the need for some form of empowerment, be it social, economical or even political to make them have a sense of belongingness in the country.
CIRCDev in collaboration with Enliven Mama Africa, a local NGO has initiated a livelihood program to empower people with some disability in Ghana with economic skills that suit their condition. The program is designed to train and support 100 physically challenged people with 80 per cent being females. This is to help reduce the number of disable people on the street begging for their daily bread. The program is designed to even train caregivers of these physically challenged people with economic skills to empower them too.
The pilot program was implemented at Kwanwoma in the Atwima Kwanwoma District of Ghana with 21 beneficiaries. The beneficiaries were given the skills to producing cake and liquid soap, fabric conditioner, antiseptic, thick bleach and shower/bathing gel. The beneficiaries received startup kits to start their business and it is expected to continue for other beneficiaries. The beneficiaries are also to receive financial literacy education in order to enhance their financial management to sustain their business. You can DONATE or Volunteer to support the development of physically challenged people in Ghana.

Star Wars 16 is the sixteenth issue of the Marvel comic book series Star Wars. The issue, released on February 17, 2016, is written by Jason Aaron, with art by Leinil Francis Yu. It is the first issue in the Rebel Jail arc of the series.[1]
Publisher's summary
- The Rebels travel to a prison base having taken an important captive in VADER DOWN.
- Unfortunately, they aren't the only ones with their eyes on the prisoners.
- The adventures of Luke Skywalker and the Rebel Alliance continue![1]
Plot summary
Following the Battle of Vrogas Vas, the rogue archaeologist Dr Chelli Lona Aphra breaks free of her magnetic binders aboard the rebel starship Volt Cobra. While Princess Leia Organa and several rebel troopers try to restrain Aphra, the Volt Cobra approaches the perimeter of the Sunspot Prison where the ship is bombarded by ion cannons. While Leia contacts the bridge, Aphra's estranged friend Sana Starros knocks Aphra out with a combat move. When Leia asks Starros why she did not transmit the clearance codes, Starros responds that she had to come down and clean her "mess."
The Volt Cobra then arrives at Sunspot Prison, a secret Rebel Alliance prison facing a star. The prison houses various enemies of the Rebellion including war criminals, Imperial spies, mercenaries, and at least two Moffs. Though Aphra is defiant, the prison warden claims that the Empire will not be able to find the prison and that it is well-defended by ion cannons and a star.
Elsewhere, the masked former rebel agent Eneb Ray leads a group of mercenaries and IG-RM bodyguard and enforcer droids to assail the impregnable Sunspot prison.
Weeks later the strong-spirited Aphra holds out against Rebel Alliance Intelligence Service officers. In private, Sana criticizes the Alliance's "humane" interrogation methods but Leia is determined that the Rebellion not follow the Empire's path. Leia confides that she brought Sana to reconcile for their awkward "initial" meeting and to thank her for saving her life on Nar Shaddaa. Princess Leia allows Sana to question Dr Aphra. When Sana tells Aphra to cooperate with the rebels, Aphra denounces her as a rebel sympathizer and says that she hates smugglers.
Meanwhile, Han Solo and a reluctant Luke Skywalker attempt to raise funds for the Rebellion by playing a game of sabacc with gangsters. Solo doubles the Rebellion's money by subtracting a small finder's fee. However, this enrages the gangsters and the two barely escape aboard the Millennium Falcon without the Rebellion's money. Aboard the Falcon, Skywalker confronts Solo about his reckless action. Luke confides that the Empire has imposed a 60,000 credit bounty on his head, which is worth more than the bounty on Solo's head.
Back at Sunspot prison, Eneb Ray and his assault force use grappling lasers to hold on to Sunspot Prison. One of the mercenaries falls off but Eneb reassures them that he has looked into the sun and lived. In the command center, Princess Leia extracts an assurance from the prison warden to look after Dr Aphra. At that point, the hull is breached by Eneb and his assault force, who overwhelm several armored rebel troopers.

Building a business is not just about acquiring customers, but also about getting your customers to return. This loyalty will take some work, but once you figure out what you customers are looking for the most, you can go above and beyond their expectations to keep them paying for your products and services. Here are some ways to can shoe customers you are going the extra mile to gain customer loyalty.
Anticipate the Needs of Your Customers
The biggest way to get customers to come back and work with you again is to anticipate their needs. If you are selling them a specific product or service, it can be beneficial to follow up with recommendations for additional products and services they may need based on past purchases. These recommendations can come at the point of purchase or with followup communications through email or traditional mail services.
Provide Unexpected Services
If you are currently meeting the needs of your customers, they may be happy, but not necessarily impressed with your customer service. Going beyond what's expected is a great way to acquire loyalty, because many businesses may off the same thing, but only your business will give the loyal customer more in terms of additional services, products at a discounted price or other perks that they didn't expect.
Maintain Open Communication
Even if you are giving customers everything they expect and more, they won't necessarily remember to seek out your products and services again unless you remind them that they are still special to you. While you don't want to bombard customers with messages, you can regularly send communications to them to keep your business on the top of their mind. In general, emails can be sent once a week and print mail can be sent as often as once a month.

Yes, pricing is a process in itself, and it will garner accurate results only if you can ask your customers the right questions and if you analyze the data.
If you need further proof that their blog is worth your time, please find below a few examples of their best advice, presented in easy to digest length.
Finding Your Best Pricing Strategy
- Establish Your Buyer Personas. Determining who your buyer personas are is an important step in pricing strategies that is often overlooked. Knowing who your ideal buyers are gives you insights into how much customers are willing to pay, and more. This in-depth research should help you answer a few key questions such as what price is each buyer willing to pay for your product, what is the average Lifetime Value (LTV) of each customer, or what is the approximate Customer Acquisition Cost (CAC) of each customer. It should also help you determine at least three main marketing channels you can find your customer in and at least three features they care most about. It's important that you know as much information as possible about your customers. While you may not be able to gather all this information from the start, you should continually collect it and update it. Businesses that understand who their customers are have a smoother growth process.
- Evaluate Each Buyer Persona. After carefully analyzing your customers and establishing your buyer personas, you'll need to devise a plan for each of these personas, and take into account that they will need space to grow further over time. Finding out which of your product features align with their persona is easy and it's done through surveys. However, the way you construct these surveys is crucial, as you need to ask the right questions in the right manner or else, you're not going to get much out of your customers. Use a relative preference type of analysis to force your respondents to choose which features they prefer and start working on your pricing tiers. By having customers show you what they value most helps your business make better decisions about your product.
- Set Proper Value Metrics. How are you going to charge users? Is it going to be a flat per-user basis? Or, is it going to be for certain product features? Do some users need to pay a higher price tier for some premium features? Once you've aligned your features with your personas, so the next step is thinking about proper value metrics, a crucial aspect of pricing strategies. Monthly Recurring Revenue (MRR), the income your business can rely on every 30 days, will very much depend on these value metrics you will set. Good value metrics should make sure to meet the following conditions: they're easy to understand, they are in line with your customer's needs and they grow alongside your customers. Whether you choose to use per user pricing or to take into account feature analysis, just make sure you treat value metrics in all seriousness, as they could easily shake up your business' monetization.
- Price Your Product Accordingly. After the first three steps, you finally get to think about the numbers part of the pricing. That is, in fact, the easiest part out of all the steps. Price data is easier to collect from your customers, so all you need to do is just ask how much your customers would be willing to pay for what you offer. Additionally, you can ask what is the maximum price they'd pay, if they'd still buy it if it would start getting more expensive, what price would make them consider it as a great deal and what's the lowest price that would make them reconsider if it is of quality or not.

Increasing Prices
- Do Your Research. First, spend some time on gathering information on how your pricing has evolved or fluctuated over time. It's important to observe how your customers have reacted to price changes you've implemented in the past. Another important aspect is to see what exactly determined these price changes, whether it was product-related or just a trial and error action and how these price changes have affected your overall financial situation. You'll probably notice that, while you lost some customers, their Lifetime Value (LTV) metric and the Customer Acquisition Cost (CAC) metric rose, which are signs of a successful price change implementation.
- Build Your Team. Implementing a price change is a process that requires more than just one person to handle it. You will need to delegate an entire team of workers that will deal with this process, will stay on top of it at all times, and will make sure everything goes as planned.
- Communication With Your Teams. While you may delegate the pricing change process to your marketing team, you want everyone to be informed of what you're doing at least three months before you go ahead and start implementing the change. Employees need to stay up to date at all times, so they're prepared to handle any issues that may arise either in the meantime or after the implementation of the change.
- Communicate With Your Clients. When it comes to your customers, you need to have a plan for introducing your new pricings. Preparation here is key because that way, it will be easier to stick to your plan and you'll know how to respond to every issue that will arise. You'll probably encounter strong reactions, objections and requests for discounts or offers in exchange for keeping them as customers. Don't let yourself get intimidated! Hold your ground and explain how you've improved your product, how their experience will improve, and how you will continue to improve the product to suit their needs better.
- Don't Lose Sight of Your Goals. Your ultimate mission is to work on and deliver a unique, high-quality product that is better than everything else there is on the market. That means you deliver a valuable product that you constantly work on improving and that will ultimately make your customers' lives easier. The price should reflect that.

Pricing Adjustments
- The Importance of Pricing Adjustments. Pricing adjustments are a very important element of your business because they have a great range of influence and will determine changes in your financial situation. What you need to keep in mind is that as your business and products evolve and improve, so should your pricing. That is called value-based pricing, and it correlates the value, your product has with its listed price. Of course, there are multiple pricing strategies, such as cost-plus pricing or competitor based pricing, some of which will work in your case and some of which won't. However, the best way of figuring out what is best for you business is to constantly monitor and adjust your pricing strategies for your company's growth.
- The Timing of Pricing Adjustments. Ideally, you want to adjust your pricing points every six to nine months. If a year or more has already passed since your last price adjustment, then you can be certain that your pricings are outdated and you're not taking advantage of important financial opportunities. Timing also depends on where you're currently at with your company. If you're still a new business, you should do reviews every quarter to get a sense of how your implemented strategies are working and make adjustments every six months. For older businesses, reviews should be conducted every quarter, with adjustments being made anywhere from six to 12 months.
- Steps Towards Pricing Adjustments. Don't wait until it's obvious that you need to make adjustments on your pricings. Keep them in mind at all times and take action whenever your gut is telling you to. No precaution is cautious enough when it comes to the money your business makes.
- Do Your Research – Collecting data from your customers is extremely important, especially when the moment you need to make changes comes and the best way to make any decisions is to do the research and inform yourself of previous similar situations. Don't just take a guess at how your pricing adjustments will affect your customers and your business. Look at past similar events, analyze how, when and why your prices have changed and use this data to make smart decisions and to devise a better plan for informing your clients about why these changes occurred and how the value you place on your product raised in parallel with the improvement of your product.
- Involve The Whole Team – Make sure every employee is up to date and informed of changes to be made. Discuss pricing adjustments with team members before implementing them and help them understand the changes and adjust to them.
- Communicate With Your Customers – Always make sure to stay in touch with your customers through any means necessary. It's important always to know where they stand, what they think of the product and what their opinion is on the current pricing and possible adjustments. This will help you maintain your relationships when you will need to explain price increases and other major changes that will affect them.
- Carefully Plan The Transition – Communication with customers is extremely important. In this case, when we're talking about already existing customers, what you need to reinforce is that you highly value them and that you care about their needs. Plan how you're going to inform them about price adjustments carefully and make sure you are prepared.
- Pay Attention to Design – Take into account the fact that the pricing page may be the last page your customer sees before leaving your website. With that in mind, it is obvious that design will play a huge role in whether or not the customer makes a decision on the spot. Spend some time on improving every little detail on your pricing page. Make sure the pricing information and options are presented in a clear, accurate and easy-to-understand manner. Make everything as easy as possible for the customers to understand what their options are and which of these options are the most appropriate for them. Also, it won't hurt if the page has an eye-catching and professional design to instill a sense of trustworthiness.
- Make it a Priority. Pricing adjustments have a huge say in your business' success. Don't take the easy way out and think that once you've set your pricing, you are done. Your products and services are constantly evolving so isn't it natural that your pricings should do the same? Taking the lazy route is easy, but if you're committed to growing your business, you need to recognize the importance of pricing and the impact it has on your monetization. Always keep your prices relevant and don't put off new pricing projects – now is the best time to reassess them and improve them, if needed.

As we wrote recently, on September 9, the California legislature passed AB 155, which repeals (for at least the next year) the affiliate nexus provisions of the affiliate nexus law (ABX 1-28) enacted in June. The repeal may be only temporary, because the new law provides that if federal legislation overturning Quill Corp. v. North Dakota is not adopted by July 31, 2012, or if such legislation is adopted, but California does not implement the federal law's requirements by September 14, 2012, then the affiliate nexus provisions of the repealed law, with some modifications described in our prior post, will kick back in on January 1, 2013, under the terms of AB 155.
Although Governor Brown reportedly had some misgivings regarding AB 155, he signed the bill into law earlier today. The law is effective immediately, so for now, California no longer has an affiliate nexus law. Whether federal legislation will be enacted and whether California will implement any such law's requirements remains to be seen…

_M. Ani Hsieh
Hsieh is an assistant professor in the Mechanical Engineering and Mechanics Department and the director of Drexel's robotics program.
What if it were possible to predict where a message in a bottle was going to end up? According to one Drexel professor, removing the mysticism of that archetypal fate-guided, maritime missive could turn out to be a key to keeping the Navy's autonomous robots afloat.
In the Scalable Autonomous Systems Laboratory in Drexel's College of Engineering, M. Ani Hsieh is studying the currents in bodies of water, with the help of sea-faring autonomous robots that she's developing, in hopes of producing a high-seas road map of sorts.
What she's searching for are "flow boundaries"—the places where currents moving in different directions converge to form areas of powerful, directional flow. This information will be used to generate nautical models that will guide the Navy's unmanned, autonomous vessels. By traveling with the strong ocean flows, the Naval crafts can conserve energy, which will enable them to remain at sea for long periods of time.
Hsieh's robots will help to generate ocean current maps much like the ones produced recently by researchers from the California Institute of Technology using coastal radar at Monterey Bay in California.
To learn about mapping the movements of the world's largest bodies of water, Hsieh is starting by studying the movements of water in a plexiglass tank the size of a bathtub. With a grid of motorized turbines in the tank, Hsieh can control water currents and closely examine how they interact.
Playing the role of the message-in-a-bottle in this scaled-down experiment are tiny plastic pellets that float in the water. With the aid of the pellets, Hsieh can accurately discern the flow boundaries by observing the places where the pellets congregate and flow in a single stream.
"We're trying to map out the boundaries between flows, where the current tends to be strongest," Hsieh says. "For autonomous vehicles in the ocean, conserving energy is crucial—fighting currents is a big energy draw, so having a map that shows where the currents are strong could be quite useful."
As Hsieh scales up the size of the bodies of water she's studying, she'll also increase the size of the robots she's using to study them. Currently, researchers in her lab are using a radio-controlled boat that could easily be mistaken for a bathtub toy.
But what the tiny vessel lacks in size, it makes up for in the lessons it can teach this group of engineers. While floating in Hsieh's flow-controlled tank, the boat can demonstrate the effects of the currents on autonomous robots, the challenges they will face in accurately collecting data and approximately how much longer they could last by traveling along the boundaries of the oceanic currents.

"So you've already started spending it."
Jane Palmer (Lizabeth Scott) and her husband, Alan (Arthur Kennedy) are out one evening, when a bag of money literally lands in the back seat of their car. Alan wants to turn the money over to the police, but Jane sees it as the answer to all their problems. Jane persuades Alan to at least hide the money until they decide what to do with it. He gives in to her pleading, but then after she goes on a spending spree, he decides to hand the money over to the police. Jane is determined to keep it, and that means she'll get rid of anyone who stands in her way.
Jane is an incredible character. She's cold, calculating and manipulative. From the start, when the money falls into her lap, she takes charge of the situation by grabbing the steering wheel and engaging in a high-speed chase. As a film noir femme fatale, she's on a level with those other two great wicked women, Phyllis Dietrichson (Barbara Stanwyck in Double Indemnity) and Cora Smith (Lana Turner in The Postman Always Rings Twice). Jane is bad, bad, bad.
Dan Duryea plays Danny Fuller, a hard-boiled, sleazy crook. He begins his relationship with Jane by pushing her around, but by the time she's done with him, he's in a perpetual drunken stupor, quivering, whining and obeying her orders. He feels guilty in spite of the fact that he tries to make light of their crimes by suggesting, "I say, let's kill these people in style." Danny might appear to be the brutal, muscle element of this criminal pair, but in reality, Jane dominates and controls their crimes. Both Lizabeth Scott and Dan Duryea are great favourites of mine. Scott really makes a great deal of this role. Too often, she gets stuck as the supporting actress, but here she's in full force, and she shows exactly how well she can handle the starring role. She's almost kittenish when she wants to be, but always that cold emotional detachment lurks underneath the surface–even when she's turning on the charm. Too Late for Tears is one of my all-time film noir favourites. Dirceted by Byron Haskin.
