Mistakes Happen
By now you have probably seen the Oscar screw-up in which Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway where given the wrong envelope and falsely announced that "La La Land" had won the Academy Award for best picture. It was a very unfortunate mistake, one I think the majority of the public felt bad about and understood that mistakes happen (Steve Harvey was forgiven for his similar screw-up at the Miss Universe 2015 pageant).

What is your company's guideline when it comes to responding to customer e-mail inquiries? Most companies I have worked with or visited typically require a 24 turn around time. That has been the standard for quite some time – but does it still hold true?
On a recent trip to visit a client, I was taking an Uber to the airport as I began my journey home. During the ride, the driver and I were chatting away, when suddenly he said, "Whoops, should have taken that last exit. I did not think much of it – I had plenty of time, and I figured we were not going too far out of our way. I would realize later that this would have been a great opportunity for my driver to practice Zero Risk – addressing the issue head on to ensure I was satisfied with my experience and that there was an acceptable resolution for the error. A little later, I boarded my plane and had a chance to catch-up on my e-mails. I clicked on the Uber receipt that had come through and realized once I saw the map that we had gone pretty far out of our way. I figured here was my chance to test Uber's service, which I had heard was pretty good.

Wanted: Chief Customer Officer – The fastest growing C-level position popping up in the corporate world is CCO- Chief Customer Officer, also known as the CXO- Chief eXperience Officer (see past eService Who is losing sleep at night over the Customer). With the old paradigm, the Customer service duties were left on the plate of the director of training, HR, or the chief marketing officer. Regardless of your company's size, someone in your organization has to be in charge of the Customer eXperience and all that goes with it. I am not talking about the head of the Customer service department-that is, call centers. I am talking about someone who oversees the entire company's Customer service, every department. That someone should not be the president, CEO, or owner, but someone who reports directly to them. Companies have heads of operations, marketing, accounting, sales, and human resources, but our second biggest asset (other than our employees) is our Customer. Their happiness is determined by the Customer eXperience we deliver. Until recently, the vast majority of companies had no one in charge of the Customer or their eXperience. Regardless of your company's size, you need to have someone who loses sleep at night over the Customer and how every department and all employee-training affects the Customer eXperience.

Every company is guilty of having a bunch of great ideas and incredible initiatives born in a meeting room only to eventually fizzle out and die, leaving the management team frustrated and cynical and the employees skeptical about what is the next program of the year, flavor of the month, or management by best seller.

A Rude Customer Tax – One business is charging rude Customers five times more for a cup of coffee than those who are more polite and say 'hello' and 'please.' A cafe owner in France has finally had enough with rude Customers and he's decided that he's no longer going to take it. Rude Customers will be charged more; call it a rude Customer tax. The café prices are posted for all to see. One list of prices for polite Customers, and a more expensive list for rude Customers. This rude tax is obviously more of a joke; however, it has apparently been successful in making this café's Customers be more respectful to the front-line employees. The manager of the café says Customers are being nicer as a result. Check out the full article Café charges extra to rude Customers.
TSA's Customer service under scrutiny – House Representative Gerry Connolly is threatening to introduce a bill requiring the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) to be more polite to their Customers, airline passengers. During a hearing about the TSA's Screening Partnership Program, Connolly said passengers would likely cooperate more with TSA agents if the agency's workers used better manners when they deliver their instructions. "There's no excuse for a contractor or employee of the federal government barking orders continuously at the public at any airport in America," Connolly said. "Every member of Congress is in the Customer service business. We experience what you experience. People aren't all the same. Some people are very cooperative and some people can be less so. I happen to believe that the less pleasant the experience, (because we don't get Customer service right … ) I actually think it contributes to less cooperation, resentment and a desire frankly not to cooperate. We don't want that. We want people understanding our mission." Connolly said he would consider introducing legislation to require the TSA to improve its Customer service if the agency did not make changes on its own. "I don't understand how hard it is to teach people [to] make sure you use the words 'please' and 'thank you' when you're interacting with our public," he said. Wow, someone in government who gets it. Read full story Lawmaker threatens bill to make TSA more polite.
10 most hated companies in America – A well-known brand can take a nose dive quickly into today's social media world. Especially if that company alienates a large enough group of people, by angering their Customers with crappy service or employees with unpleasant working conditions or low pay. I call this brand terrorism, choosing to be greedy with short-term gains for long-term failures, sometimes irreversible. Many of the most-hated companies have millions of Customers and hundreds of thousands of workers. With this kind of reach, it's important to keep employees happy in order to maintain decent Customer service. Often, poor job satisfaction leads to poor service and low Customer satisfaction. McDonald's and Wal-Mart have risked this most recently as employees and some Customers have protested the low wages at these companies – low enough to put workers below the poverty line. Check out the 10 most hated companies in America.

Email Never & Always standards – We've noticed since helping our clients create and roll out these non-negotiable standards, that it's lacking for people who work in jobs where they mostly communicate electronically, i.e. via email (corporate home office, internal support positions, Customer service reps, etc.). So the following are examples from some of The DiJulius Group's consulting clients' Email non-negotiable standards.

Customer spends $1,000 to complain – Social media has given Customers a power they've never had before (past eService The Biggest influence on Customer service); however, one Customer's service rage hit new levels. British Airways lost Hasan Syed's luggage and was slow to respond. Big mistake! Syed took to Twitter, but he didn't just tweet his frustration. Instead of just tweeting, Syed, who uses the Twitter handle @HVSVN, spent $1,000 buying promoted tweets in the New York and U.K. markets, using Twitter's self-serve ad platform.
Service Rage – Syed used the same technique that companies use to blitz consumers with their marketing and advertisements; however, he reversed this platform and used it to blast British Airways. His tweet, "Don't fly @British_Airways. Their Customer service is horrendous," was aimed at people who follow the British Airways account on Twitter. It didn't take too long until it went viral, and Syed's brand assassination was picked up by numerous sources including CNN & BBC.
Who Will Be Next? Mr. Syed did finally get his luggage back and British Airways issued a statement apologizing to him. However, every business should be on alert that Customers will go to any length to get even if they feel you or your company failed to deliver what you promised and are not willing to make it right (see Zero Risk).
Be the Best at What Matters Most – Today too many of us are trying to be super human or super companies, trying to be excellent at nearly everything, and as a result of this ambitious plan, we end being average at most. Steve Jobs was a master at simplicity, from his products to his strategy (eService on Steve Jobs). There are only a few people ever born, and even fewer businesses, that are capable of being extraordinary in numerous areas. That is why best-selling author and business expert, Joe Calloway's, new book, Be Best at What Matters Most (Wiley & Sons 2013) is so timely.
Who are you? You don't answer that question, your Customers do. What do people think when they hear your name or your company's name? That is what this book is about: being great and making an impact at what you were born to do, finding what your purpose is, and doing it better than anyone else. This is a concept I live by. I have built two businesses around this philosophy. Be great at one thing, know what that one thing is and do not deviate from that one thing. Take for example The DiJulius Group. What do you think of when you think of TDG? Customer service consulting. TDG is a one-trick pony and we are proud of it. We turn down business opportunities every week from companies looking for sales training, motivational presentations, or any other inquiries we get that fall outside of what we do. However, we are the best at what matters most to our clients — Customer service.
Joe Calloway interview – In my interview with Joe Calloway, we discuss his book, Be the Best at What Matters Most. Joe explains the need for quality and consistency. Today's busy pace and need to multi-task often leads us to spend too much time on things that ultimately are not very important. Spreading ourselves too thin is all too common. Joe's concept helps us find clarity on what is most important to our business. Joe also talks about how the need to simplify allows you to achieve greater results. Watch the entire 20-minute video interview with Joe Calloway.
Super Joe – Joe Calloway is a leading performance expert who helps great companies get even better. He helps organizations focus on what is truly important, inspires constant improvement, and motivates people to immediate action. Joe has been a business author, coach, and speaker for 30 years and his client list reads like an international "Who's Who" in business, including a range of companies from Coca Cola and IBM to Saks Fifth Avenue and American Express.
He's back and better than ever – Joe keynoted at the 2009 Secret Service Summit and remains one of the highest rated speakers we have ever had at the summit. Due to his recently published, Be the Best at What Matters Most, we decided it was the ideal time to bring Joe back to speak at the 2013 Secret Service Summit in Cleveland November 4th & 5th.
Get your FREE copy of Be the Best at What Matters Most – EVERY attendee to this year's Secret Service Summit will receive a copy of Joe's new book Be the Best at What Matters Most.

This continues our report of the opening and dedication of the PAOLO SOLERI BRIDGE AND PLAZA.
The public opening and dedication was held on Saturday, December 11, with the official dedication ceremonies and speakers scheduled between 11 am and 2 pm. There were many other activities and events throughout the day including experimental live music by Elektrobahn and various children's activities. The day concluded with a panel discussion and slide show at the Library and a guided tour of the Paolo Soleri exhibit at the SMoCA.
Here we see the Arcosanti information booth, tended by Arcosanti residents with their black clothes and white parasols.[photo: Tomiaki Tamura]
Children's activities were on the lawns along the side of the canal and included plein air painting by the Scottsdale Artists School and silt casting opportunities provided by the Scottsdale Museum of Contemporary Art.
Ice sculptures by the Summit Schools Vitruvius Program melted during the day to reveal design motifs from Paolo Soleri's work: arcology and bridges.[photo: sue]
After the bridge dedication the Scottsdale Museum of Contemporary Art and ModernPhoenix.net presented a lecture and panel discussion at the Scottsdale Civic Center Library.
Alan Hess, architectural critic and author, presented the lecture, "Organic Architecture and the Work of Paolo Soleri." Soleri's body of work was discussed in the context of the national organic architecture movement and its history. Paolo Soleri was present and commented on the ideas discussed, rejecting the label "organic."
Four other architectural experts presented lecture/slide shows: Phoenix Architect Will Bruder, AIA (Arcosanti alumnus); John Meunier, AIA, Professor of Architecture at Herberger Institute for Design and the Arts, Arizona State University; Jeffrey Stein, AIA, Dean of Boston Architectural College (Arcosanti alumnus); and Peter Zweig, FAIA, Professor of Design at University of Houston (Arcosanti alumnus.)
The panel discussion was facilitated by Tim Rodgers, PhD, Director of the Scottsdale Museum of Contemporary Art. A lively discussion between the panel members and Paolo Soleri did not leave much time for questions from the audience. The questions continued on the walk between the library and SMoCA, where a guided tour of the exhibit, "Bridges: Spanning the Ideas of Paolo Soleri" was scheduled.[from left: Tim Rodgers, Peter Zweig, Jeff Stein, John Meunier and Will Bruder][photo: sue]
Tomiaki Tamura, Guest Curator and Cosanti Foundation Director and SMoCA Assistant Curator Claire Carter led the tour of the exhibit, "Bridges: Spanning the Ideas of Paolo Soleri" at the Scottsdale Museum of Contemporary Art. This exhibition of drawings, models and video documentation will close January 23, 2011.[photo: Tomiaki Tamura]

Secret Recipe at Menara Telekom Sucks!!!
I have 2 words to say to Secret Recipe in Menara Telekom. YOU SUCK!!!
Really. With ignorant and rude waitress. Urgh.. I've had it with them.
My 3 friends and me went for lunch last Friday. 3 of us ordered mozarella baked fish. (note at that time there were only few customers around) Waiting and waiting for our food, the crowd started to come in.. Their food has arrived..Some even finished eating!! Guess what. Our f**king food has not yet arrived!!!
45 minutes later we asked a waitress, what happened to our order. and the waitress with an attitude just nodded and went off. bangang ke apa. Decided to ask another waitress, she saw us calling but she just ignored ask..WTH?? If you can't handle big crowd, please put in the maximum amount of people you are capable of serving at one time so that we can go somewhere else for better service.
Managed to grab one of the waitress (coincidentally she was the one who took our order) she said the mozarella cheese take long time to cook. I asked. You take 1 hour to cook a dish?? She with an arrogance said yes and walked off. Without saying sorry or anything.
1 hour to melt mozarella cheese?? come on laa..do you think we're stupid?? Kalau dah sejam tu..the cheese would have evaporate into thin air…If it really took one hour to cook it..I think you guys are baking the cheese using candles?
I asked the cashier when paying why does it take that long (persistent, ain't I?) She said that the dish does take an hour to serve. I told her, I've ordered the dish at other Secret Recipe branch but at most they would only take 20 minutes to prepare it.
Just admit it was your mistake. I know you've forgotten our order.
I hope Secret Recipe please take note of this comment because when there are no feedback form to be filled (I guess they know they have bad service so they decided to hide the bloody feedback form).
I love Secret Recipe but your branch at Menara Telekom really sucks. Poor Customer Service. No manners. All negative attitude all in one branch!!

Chivas Regal 18 year old by Vivienne Westwood unveiled at London fashion week - 21st February, 2011
British luxury brands Chivas Regal and Vivienne Westwood have announced a new collaboration at London Fashion Week – the limited edition Chivas Regal 18 Year Old by Vivienne Westwood.
One of the world's most acclaimed fashion designers, Vivienne Westwood's creation for Chivas Regal clearly illustrates Westwood's unparalleled reputation for design excellence and pattern cutting know how.
With the current design of the Union Flag dating back to 1801 and Chivas Brothers roots also being traced back to this iconic year, the distinctive bottle quite audaciously and proudly appears cloaked in Vivienne Westwood's Union Jack print, as first seen in a Gold Label collection in Paris.
Westwood uses her expertise in tailoring and cutting, re-imagining the bottle as a figure to be adorned to create a luxurious and unique three-piece coat in true Vivienne Westwood style.
Dame Vivienne Westwood said: "I am English, so it is impossible for me to ignore British culture in my designs. It is really very satisfying to interpret some of my designs into other mediums beyond fashion."
The collaboration marks an important step for Chivas Regal, the world's first luxury Scotch whisky, following previous work with leading fashion brands Alexander McQueen and Christian Lacroix.
James Slack, International Brand Director for Chivas Regal said: "Strong British heritage and luxury craftsmanship serve as the foundation to both Chivas Regal 18 Year Old and Vivienne Westwood. The work that our Master Blender, Colin Scott, puts into crafting Chivas Regal 18 Year Old is in many ways the same to that of a fashion designer – there is a true art to what they do. As the world's No 1 ultra premium Scotch whisky, we are delighted to work with what many would consider Britain's most iconic fashion house."
Chivas Regal 18 Year Old by Vivienne Westwood will be released as a limited edition with only 2,500 bottles available internationally and priced from US$495.00 duty free. The release coincides with Vivienne Westwood's Autumn/Winter 2011 Red Label show in London.
Chivas Regal 18 Year Old is a luxurious blend of whiskies, hand-picked for their exceptional richness, including more than 20 of Scotland's rarest single malts aged for a minimum of 18 years.

Before I bought contact lenses, I was choosing between eyeglasses or lenses. Then I read this one article in the Internet. Contact lenses offer lots of advantages. Whether its for nearsightedness, farsightedness or astigmatism, it will surely give you some benefits. Lenses give you a broader view than eyeglasses because the frames of glasses usually block your vision. Lenses also give you a more natural vision, so that things would come into view just the way they should appear. Lenses also move with your eyes, so youre always looking at the optical center which causes you to have a clearer view. Lastly, it is more comfortable because you dont have to worry about glasses sliding down your nose and it will also give you a more natural look.
If you want to buy contact lenses, you should first have an eye examination and fitting by an eye doctor or what you call an ophthalmologist. With the wide selection of contact lenses that 1800 Contacts offer to their customers, you are assured that you can get what is prescribed to you by the doctor. Plus they offer discounts and free shipping to help you save more. Once you have already bought one, follow up examinations are required to monitor changes in your vision and to update your prescriptions. So if youre tired of all the headaches and blurred visions, try contact lenses over eyeglasses to have a clearer vision.
Since wearing contact lenses, Ive never felt better than ever. I can work faster and easier, and convenience would be the best adjective for this medication. You shouldnt wait for something to happen that could aggravate your eyesight condition. Always take the necessary actions and precautions to have better vision. Life is too short, and to lose your sense of sight at a time when you ought to be seeing the beauty of the world is, I think, the worst thing that could happen to you.
Internet shopping has revolutionized the way we buy and sell furniture. Nowadays, we need not make a long trip to furniture stores that may or may not have what we want; instead, we need only to look at online shops, auction websites, Web-based announcements, and even blogs that sell or share information and coupon codes on furniture: new or second-hand, for the home or for the office, antique or modern. It can be a tough task or a sort of mini-adventure, since there are plenty of choices available online, giving us great ways to save while working out any kind of interior space.
One of the important things to keep in mind is to decide what exactly your furnishing requirements are. How big a space do you have to fill up? Is it really necessary or are you just craving for interior eye candy? Would you need a big sofa from Italy or would a simple armchair do? Be sure to have an idea of what the dimensions are; if possible, look at the fabric/ upholstery options and wood finishes available. Also, consider factors such as walking and traffic patterns, size of furniture, durability, and design. To plan ahead is the key.
Search the Internet before you go foraging at the shops and by this I mean conduct your research meticulously. There is a plethora of websites for furniture manufacturers and dealers, local malls, and warehouse stores which display their catalogs and furniture coupon codes on the Web; be sure to compare prices before you decide on a brand or a store. Check out what good deals there are, and if there is a clearance sale going on somewhere. Be patient. You never want to rush a furniture purchase, because if youre going to have to furnish a new home or a new room, you need a lot of time to think and visualize and measure. Also, when looking at online stores, be sure to check out pertinent information such as return policy, free shipping offers, and warranties.
When looking at an item, dont forget to examine the way that it has been constructed. Inspect things like overall finish, appearance, sanding, and moldings. After all, you dont want a sloppily made coffee table to become the centerpiece of your living room set. Remember also to ask the online seller questions before you decide to buy an item based on a thumbnail picture. That leather armchair might look good in a showroom but not inside your smaller living room.
Online furniture shops can offer great money-saving opportunities (read: furniture coupon codes and coupons) for you no matter if youre looking for chairs, sofas, benches, bookshelves, chests and dressers, patio tables, bedroom sets, and file cabinets, among many other things. There are Club Furniture coupon codes and The Furniture Paradise discount codes, for example, which you can look up in order to make your purchase even more affordable. Sure, shopping for cheap furniture online is a great convenience, but youve got to choose, invest and shop wisely.

Do they really think they can get away with Parental Alienation, Abuse of Process, Malicious Prosecution, Hacking and Stealing Millions of Dollars too? Are they that sick and corrupt?
Here are some very interesting developments today in my fight for truth and justice.
First, I want to make it very clear that I did NOT agree at any hearing including the one on Friday, October 9th 2015 to go to ANY therapy or community service because I have NOT done anything wrong. I did not agree to 8 sessions so I do not know where this information came from.
I have requested the District Attorney to show me the EVIDENCE of their allegations that:
1) Somehow, I have impersonated PASTOR RICK WARREN by sending emails from him to myself. I do not have the computer skills to even know how to do this; plus I would never do such a thing because this is hacking. This is ridiculous. This is NOT my character to violate the law as my records shows.
2) What is the restraining order that I violated?
3) What standards were used to LEGALLY grant this restraining order against me since I have been a law-abiding, honest citizen my entire life of over 50 years?
4) What standards were used to keep this restraining order in effect until 2017?
*** I am NOT dangerous or unfit so what is the LEGAL basis for this restraining order?
Is this just ANOTHER example of Abuse of Process and Malicious Prosecution? If not, why has the District Attorney for months refused to produce this evidence?
Well, we will see tomorrow at the hearing with Judge White whether she agrees she erred in dismissing Judge Claudia Silbar and her court-appointed therapist from my civil lawsuit regarding my fraudulent divorce for their CIVIL acts ONLY and did not address their CRIMINAL ACTS where there is NO IMMUNITY.
We will see tomorrow at the hearing with Judge White if she dismisses the law firm SEASTROM & SEASTROM because she will allow them to withhold producing LEGALLY REQUIRED FACTS like the complete and accurate disclosure of the assets from the marriage under their client's control.
My ex-husband, MARK F. HASSMAN controlled the marital finances and has a legal obligation of FULL DISCLOSURE so the net worth of the community estate can be completely and accurately established.
This is NOT protected information but FACTS required to be disclosed so that a divorce is legal. Also, without the establishment of the net worth, the spousal support awards are fraudulent.
We will see tomorrow at the hearing with Judge White if she dismisses the law firm SEASTROM & SEASTROM because she will allow them to withhold producing LEGALLY REQUIRED FACTS like what LEGAL STANDARDS were used to deny me of my Custody and Visitation rights.
It is getting very interesting.
SINAI TEMPLE and the law firm representing them NORTON & MELNIK must think it is a joke or amusing that my computer and cell phone keeps being hacked by RABBI DAVID WOLPE because now he is back to sending me the horse logo on my phone and also more Trojan messages that relate to relevant topics.Is this what he is paid to do? Why?
If not, why isn't he fired because hacking is illegal. I proved he hacks me on Sunday as my post below explains which I sent to the law firm NORTON & MELNIK too.
There is nothing funny about promoting the abuse called Parental Alienation by refusing to reunite loving, fit, law-abiding Mothers (Fathers) with their Children of all ages and ALSO refuse to give sermons, have classes, discussion groups and other events to PREVENT others from being abused by acts of Parental Alienation. This is a travesty not a game or a joke as any person with a SOUND MIND knows or should know as experts have explained.
Well tomorrow should be an interesting day and I will keep you posted. Either way, I can't lose…if Judge White rules against me so the legally required facts remain undisclosed; this is just more EVIDENCE of the criminal conspiracy. If she rules in my favor, than all the legally required disclosures that were never made must be finally made which will be in MY favor.
As always, truth and justice will prevail. You just have to stay strong so you can enforce your legal rights. I am very proud of myself for all that I have accomplished thus far as I continue to expose more and more TRUTH so the horrible abuse called Parental Alienation no longer be used to help a very sick father(mother) and those professionals working with him to Profit from Divorce. It is a very immoral and sick business model to use and abuse Children and their loving Mother (father) so they can profit from divorce.
As always, none of this is legal or any other advice; it is based on my knowledge and experience.

PHIL THOMPSON says a witchhunt against Liverpool's Jamie Carragher must not overshadow the hooliganism which led to yesterday's mayhem at Highbury.
Carragher's indiscretion in the 1-0 defeat at Arsenal was condemned by the assistant boss and resulted in an immediate apology from the player.
Today, the FA said they would examine referee Mike Riley's report before deciding to take any further action against Carragher.
At the least, the defender faces a fourmatch ban as he already has a one game suspension hanging over him, and yesterday's red card means an instant three match lay-off. He also faces internal disciplinary action from the club.
But, having acknowledged Carragher ' s actions were unacceptable, Thompson (pictured) says the real issue is the behaviour of the Arsenal spectators which led to the incident.
"I know the PFA are extremely concerned about this and my fear now is there will be a witchhunt against Jamie," said Thompson today.
"He shouldn't be made a scapegoat because of the actions of the supporters because it was they who were responsible for causing the incident. It started because of them, not the player.
"The wider issue here is there are a series of copycat incidents occuring which is very worrying for the game.
"What happens to those responsible is a matter for Arsenal Football Club. It was not a pleasant situation, but I have to think about the well-being of my players.
"This was not just one incident, either. Anyone with good eyesight can see there were many coins thrown at Jamie, and it wasn't just one person who was responsible.
"What Jamie did wasn't right, but it's only a matter of time before someone is seriously hurt. It's frightening.
"More and more we are seeing missiles thrown at the players and it's a shame that a Liverpool player has taken the brunt of this.
"It is sad it may have taken a player to snap and show his frustration before something is done about it.
"In the first case, he was the victim of a dreadful attempted tackle, and then he suffered terrible verbal abuse before numerous coins were thrown at him. There is a lot more to this issue than meets the eye.
"This football club has been striving to play the right way, hard and fair, and this is reflected in our disciplinary record. This is an isolated incident."
* Steven Gerrard is doubtful for Wednesday's Premiership clash with Leicester at Anfield because of a stiff neck.
Nicolas Anelka was substituted after suffering a collarbone injury, but should be fit for the game.

Husbands, love your wives, just as also Christ loved the church and gave Himself for her, to make her holy, cleansing her in the washing of water by the word. He did this to present the church to Himself in splendor, without spot or wrinkle or any such thing, but holy and blameless. Ephesians 5:25-27
As hard as it is to imagine one single human (myself) being presented a trophy of grace, it is harder still to image a whole group of humans (my church and yours) presented as the spotless Bride of Christ. I myself am deeply flawed. Add me to a few hundred other folks, and you have more flaws than I'd care to count.
Yet Christ grouped us together into churches on purpose, every sinful one of us, and commanded us to love one another. He'll one day gather all those local congregations into one beautiful Church, and he'll present her to Himself in "splendor, without spot or wrinkle or any such thing, but holy and blameless."
Do we deserve it? We Christians have fractured ourselves into denominations, and denominations square off against themselves in opposite political camps. Individual congregations bicker. It's a common malady. American Christians singing in varnished pews, Chinese Christians whispering in darkened houses, and African Christians banging drums under mango trees – all of us sin. And the answer is no, we don't deserve to be the Bride of Christ.
And that brings us right back to grace. Why is the Church, the bride of Christ, spotless and wrinkle free? Why can we be presented in splendor? Because of Jesus' death for us. He made us holy. And because he keeps washing us, urging us to follow his word, perfecting us until the day we are perfect – our wedding day.
Once again, his work, not ours.

The 54th edition of the Civil Service Yearbook emerges into an era of transformation within the Civil Service. Since the decision to leave the European Union, the Civil Service has seen much transformation, including the creation of new departments and restructuring of others. The devolved administrations have also evolved their structures in recent years in response to changing circumstances and new challenges.
This online resource reflects these changes by including:
The Civil Service Year Book is the indispensable directory for anyone who needs to find information on the structure, department and key personnel of the Civil Service. In so doing it facilitates the process of "opening government" up to members of the public.
Dandy Booksellers would like to acknowledge and thank the many members of the Civil Service who helped to make this book possible.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic 'wants to stay in England'… but that may not be with Manchester United, says agent Mino Raiola
Super agent admits Swedish star has had 'a lot of offers' and could carry on his glittering career at another club
SUPER agent Mino Raiola has said that Zlatan Ibrahimovic "wants to stay in England" - but that it may not be with Manchester United.
The Swedish striker ended a successful first season at United with a serious injury and is yet to decide his next move.
The 35-year-old signed a one-year deal to play under Jose Mourinho, but his future was thrown into doubt after he tore his ACL in the Europa League semi-final against Anderlecht.
Keep up to date with all the latest news, gossip, rumours and done deals in SunSport's live transfer blog
And Raiola - who also brokered the world record deal for Paul Pogba to return to Old Trafford - admits the veteran striker's future is far from decided.
Raiola told TalkSPORT: "There is a possibility [he stays] but also that he does not.
"We have talked, he has a lot of offers and ideas that we have to evaluate.
most read in football
"He's had a fantastic time at United and it's now up to us and the club to decide.
"We have a date for that but now is time to recover."
Raiola was then asked if Ibrahimovic wanted to stay at Manchester United.
He replied: "[Ibrahimovic] wants to stay in England and at the top.
"If he sees he is a valuable asset for United he will stay.
"But he knows he can valuable asset for other top clubs also.
"I think it is respectful to talk to Manchester United and see what all parties want."
Another one of Raoila's clients who could be moving clubs in the summer is Everton striker Romelu Lukaku.
The big Belgian has refused to pen a new deal at Goodison Park and a number of clubs - including Manchester United - are reported to be interested.
He told TalkSPORT: "[Lukaku] had a promise that if certain clubs came in for him this summer [he'd leave].
"We are not in concrete talks at the moment, but if the price is right for Everton and the project is right [for Lukaku] he will make another step.
"But we are not there yet."
Lukaku has been valued at around £100million - a price that would break the previous world record fee Manchester United paid for Paul Pogba.
"I didn't hear about [the £100m price-tag]," Raiola added.
"It doesn't surprise me that price with what other players go for.
"But we have a European market and a Premier League market.
"The relationship with Everton is very good.
"We knew if someone comes in for him there is a possibility that he leaves, yes."
Raiola believes clubs will break the spending barrier this season - and could spend as much as £2BILLION on players.
Last season's spending bonanza saw Premier League teams splash out more than £1bn on players.
But Raiola thinks that record will be smashed this season and could even be DOUBLED.
Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola has already spent close to £80m to bring in Bernardo Silva from Monaco and Benfica goalkeeper Ederson.
The transfer window does not open officially until next month.
Raiola said: "TV rights are the fuel of the transfer market.
"If they go up, the prices go up.
"If there are not so many good players [available], they go up again.
"You have two markets - the Premier League and outside the Premier League.
"It depends what [individual clubs] need, which leevel they are.
"You have the players that other clubs want but [the parent club] are not willing to sell.
"Evereyone wants to buy, not everybody is for sale.
"The players for sale [are the ones] no one wants to buy."
Raiola oversaw Pogba's world record move to Manchester United last summer, grabbing a £20m fee from the club for brokering the deal.
The agent believes that the fee is likely to be topped this summer - and that despite the criticism, United got a good deal for the French midfielder.
"Pogba was cheap if you see the market now, they got a good deal," he added.
"The market will be ruled by the people that buy."
Despite his rewards from brokering transfer deals, Raiola says he would reform the market.
"I want to narrow the time of the market, it should finish when the new season starts.
"That is logical. We are in a digital market, we monitor players every day, every week,
"We don't need the whole summer to think about who we want to buy and sell. On July 1 all the players should be with their new clubs."
Raiola also admits that inflated prices in the Premier League is because teams know of their massive spending power.
"In Europe, they want to sell to the Premier League. When [a Premier League club] passes by, it's like Santa Claus coming to your house.
"Twenty-five years ago it was opposite, if an Italian club comes, prices would rise."
He added: "It's difficult to establish the price of any player - it's who buys.
"[In England] A young talent is already costing £5m to £10m even if he hasn't proven a lot.
"Some players already proven - especially strikers or goalscorers - they rise and rise. The very top prices - there are only two types of clubs.
"The top 10, Real Madrid and Barcelona, and the Premier League."

We offer:
- private classes (1 to 1) at the home of the student
- private classes (1 to 1) at the home of the Teacher
- group classes, at the home of a student, Teacher or in a classroom
To bring out the best in your child
We keep the class size small to give every student the extra attention they need. The teacher can address specific gaps in knowledge, and deficiencies in skills, competencies and attitudes of the particular student. The student progresses at his/her own pace. Learning tasks are customized to reinforce content competency and desired skills.
1 to 1
The best teacher : student ratio is attained with bespoke home tuition where the focus is on the child alone. Here, the weakness of the student gets undivided attention.
The contrast is with the standardized instructions delivered to groups of around 40 students in national schools, and groups of 15-25 students in international schools. The student that is a slow learner will struggle to cope while the fast learner will not feel challenged. Due to time constraint, a student may not receive complete attention from his school teacher.
Group Tuition
For students to benefit from group tuition, they need to be at the same level of competency, using the same learning materials and progressing at the same rate. Please try to form your own tutorial group. The best tutorial groups are with your classmates or schoolmates. It is less beneficial to parachute into an existing group as topics covered will not be repeated. Alternatively, express your interest to join new tutorial groups.

SILLY Things I Worried About When Pregnant...!
Posted on
SILLY Things I Worried About When Pregnant...!
So I worried about the obvious such as how much it would hurt and whether the baby would be OK, but whilst pregnant with my first, I also worried about the most ridiculous things. Here are the silliest things I remember worrying about:
- Will I recognise my baby?
I'd not spent much time around lots of babies before having mine and they did all look very similar on packaging, right?! I was worried if my baby was put in another room with other babies that I wouldn't know which was mine. Well, rest assured, you will definitely recognise your baby!
- Will I be able to change a nappy?
I was so anxious about not being able to work out how to change a nappy (like it's rocket science) that I made me and Ben practice on a teddy before the birth. Believe me, it's pretty simple, but there will be sleep deprived days where you try to put it on backwards, even after changing 1000 nappies!
- Will my baby like me?
What if my baby screams with me, but instantly stops when anyone else holds them? I've tended to be the preferred person when both babies where younger so didn't need to worry about this. The mother-baby bond is quickly built and of course your baby will like you!
- What if I don't wake up when baby cries?
No chance, especially in the first months when they are right next to your head. If you're anything like me, just a little shuffle and you're wide awake checking them!
- What if baby is born with my awful nose?
I am very self conscious about my nose and was actually thinking one day, imagine if baby was born with the full version. Silly, I know. Both have had perfect cute baby sized features! I also think even if your baby was the ugliest baby ever born (though I'm not sure any baby can be ugly!), you, the mother, would still think baby is the most beautiful thing you've ever seen.
- What if I don't know how to dress baby properly?
I packed my hospital bag according to numerous lists I found on the Internet, but what if baby was too hot/cold. Would they take baby off me because I've dressed them wrong? What if I can't dress baby? I don't want to break baby bending arms and legs. So, it's a little tricky dressing baby, but you quickly get used to it. You also don't have to be quite as delicate as you may think! I was acting like baby was a china doll at first. It's definitely a lot easier than trying to dress a 3 year old who runs away from you, lies face down on the floor or flops all over the place! Again, practicing on a teddy/doll is recommended to ease any worries!
- What if I don't know when to change/feed baby?
Believe me, they let you know!

Developer: Adidas
Rating: Everyone
Price: Free
Among all the popular brands of attire especially as it relates to sports, Adidas is my favorite and first choice. I own many articles of clothing and sneakers of their product offerings. The Adidas – Sports and Style app has just made my life a little easier and perhaps, costlier. As you would assume, the app is rising in popularity among the apps Adidas offers.
The app is simple in its format. The home page features offerings such as newly released apparel and other highlights such as their recently established sponsorship of the NHL for the 2017-18 season. You might even get a glimpse of the new Yeezy line. The real "meat and potatoes" of the app lies in the shopping. Tap the shoe icon, and you can shop for shoes, apparel, and accessories for men, women, and kids. Each category can be further refined for your particular interest or use the search option if you have some keywords in mind. There is an extensive list of shoe offerings, but probably not as expansive and diverse as other shopping apps for shoes or should I say "sneakers." My bias is towards shoes, but I would encourage you to browse through the apparel and accessories. There is a nice presentation of hoodie offerings (also an apparel preference of mine). You probably won't find a lot of draw dropping deals or discounts, but I imagine you will find something(s) you just can't pass up, and items which will never make it to the store or outlet mall. You will be required to log in or register to purchase items and enable full access to the app. There are no pop-up or annoying ads as the Adidas brand pretty much sells itself.
In conclusion, if you are an Adidas aficionado like myself or a shopaholic, in general, you may find yourself spending a lot of time browsing the product selection as the variety is outstanding. Frankly, I am going to conclude this article at this point as I don't feel it is necessitated to exhaust anymore effort to market for them without being on their payroll. Happy Shopping!

SALEM COUNTY, N.J. (CBS) — An elderly man was critically injured after a 50-pound dumbbell crashed through his SUV windshield Monday morning on the New Jersey Turnpike.
It happened around 7: 18 a.m. near mile marker 6.3 south in Oldmans Township.
New Jersey State Police say 75-year-old Jack DeCarlo of Hamilton Township, New Jersey, lost control, left the turnpike and crashed into the woods after the 50-pound dumbbell smashed through the window and struck him in the head.
DeCarlo was transported to Crozer-Chester Medical Center and has undergone surgery.
His wife, Patricia DeCarlo, was also in the vehicle. She was not injured. The couple was traveling to Myrtle Beach at the time of the accident.
She told CBS 3's Joe Holden that she's numb following the accident.
She said they were heading south and were just shy of the Delaware Memorial Bridge when the dumbbell shattered the windshield.
Jim DeCarlo, their son, avoided speculating if someone threw the dumbbell from an overpass, but said he's "shocked" by the incident.
"We don't know if somebody intentionally did it. It's a freak thing, it's a shame," he said. "I couldn't believe it, shocked. You never think something like that is gonna happen."
Police have not said where they believe the dumbbell came from, but they did search a nearby overpass for any possible evidence. A state police source said it's very possible the weight was tossed from there.
Throwing a 50-pound dumbbell is no easy task, though. Frank Calandrino, who owns Level One Fitness in Philadelphia, said a 50-pound weight wouldn't just fall off a vehicle in the wind.
"It wouldn't have been just little kids pranking, it had to have been pretty strong teenagers," he said. The tall fence above the overpass makes it an even tougher task for someone to attempt. Calandrino said it's a miracle the victim survived the impact.
DeCarlo's son said his father, an ex-prison guard, is a fighter and the family is optimistic he'll pull through. They say he's resting comfortably.
"He's still in critical condition and we won't know more until tomorrow," DeCarlo said.
Troopers are now looking for any eyewitnesses who may have been something on the turnpike.
Chopper 3 showed tire marks left by the car after the impact when the DiCarlos' SUV veered off the highway, immediately after crossing below an overpass.
Police are still investigating.

Dress: Target (similar here)
Necklace: Bauble Bar (love this one too)
Leggings: Zella
Boots: Cole Haan
Sunglasses: Celine
Easy to throw on, super comfy to wear and oh so soft! That's exactly what this cute little striped dress number from Target is.
I'm going to be belting it, to give it more shape, and wearing it sans leggings and boots and with wedges and a sun hat instead, once the weather is warmer!

The Government has proposed new laws which could protect consumers who have prepaid for products when a business becomes insolvent.
The Department for Business, Energy & Industrial Strategy, which published the report, said the planned measures include requiring consumer prepayments to be protected in certain sectors.
This would apply to common forms of prepayment such as internet orders, gift vouchers and money saved in payment schemes.
The Government believes that this would strengthen its ability to "respond quickly to problems involving consumers who have prepaid for goods or services before a firm becomes insolvent".
Likewise, the new laws would see prepayments safeguarded with legislation requiring businesses to adopt measures to protect customers against losses – whether that is through trusts, insurance or other mechanisms.
Commenting on the report, Business Secretary Greg Clark said: "When consumers prepay for items through savings clubs it is reasonable to expect that if something goes wrong, their money should have some degree of protection. The measures we are consulting on will give shoppers greater peace of mind.
"It's all part of how we're helping make markets fairer for all, especially the most vulnerable, as part of our modern Industrial Strategy – with more to come next year through our comprehensive Consumer White Paper."
The proposed new laws form part of a packet of measures designed to protect consumers following insolvencies, who are often considered 'unsecured' in the event of a business collapse.

When most people think of the Kansas
But the Kansas River Watershed includes all of the tributaries that flow into the main river; the Republican River, Smoky Hill, the Big Blue River, and many others flow into the Kansas River from throughout its watershed.
All told, the Kansas river drains an area of 36,000 square miles of land in Kansas (almost the entire northern half of the state), 11,000 square miles in Nebraska, and 6,000 square miles in Colorado—53,000 square miles in all.
In turn, the Kansas River is itself a tributary of the Missouri River. The larger Missouri River Watershed, in which the Kansas River Watershed is nested, drains almost ten times as much land--523,000 square miles.
To complete the picture, the Missouri River is a tributary of the Mississippi River. The Mississippi River Watershed drains 1.83 million square miles! This is forty percent of the United States (not including Alaska and Hawaii). It is the second largest watershed in the world.*
So the Kansas River Watershed is nested within the Missouri River Watershed, and the Missouri River Watershed is nested within the Mississippi River Watershed, making all of us in northern Kansas part of a truly world class river system.
Here is an interactive map of the Kansas River watershed (outlined in green), which includes the Smoky Hill and Republican Rivers. You can zoom in and out and change to Satellite view to explore the watershed and see the location of towns, cities, rivers and reservoirs. If you would like to view it in Google Earth click here
So What is a Watershed?
No matter where you live in the world, you live in a "watershed." You're sitting in a watershed right now.
A watershed is bordered by higher ground, and since water runs downhill a watershed can be defined by the area of land that catches rain and snow and drains or seeps into a common point. Watersheds can drain into a marsh, stream, river, lake, ocean, or even into the groundwater. Homes, farms, ranches, forests, small towns, big cities and open land can all be part of watersheds.
Some watersheds cut across county, state, and even international borders, and may be millions of acres in size. Smaller watersheds can be nested into larger watersheds, just as creeks drain into rivers, and rivers run to the ocean.
Watersheds within watershedsThe United States has been divided into a series of smaller and smaller watersheds, and each has been given a Hydrologic Unit Code (HUC). The HUC number can be thought of as something like a Zip Code for rivers. The HUC code is set up so that the large watersheds have a shorter code and the smaller watersheds have a longer code-- for example, the Kansas River watershed is a HUC 4 with the code number of 1027 (notice that there are four numbers in this code). Within this big watershed there is the Lower Kansas River watershed with a HUC 8 code number of 10270104 (this one has eight numbers within the code). So the smaller watershed is nested within the larger watershed and the HUC code for the smaller watershed contains the HUC code for the larger watershed: 1027 for the Kansas River and 10270104 for the smaller Lower Kansas River watershed that is nested within it.
The smaller HUC 8 watersheds that are part the Kansas River Watershed are the watersheds of its major tributaries:
HUC 10270101 - Upper Kansas
HUC 10270102 - Middle Kansas
HUC 10270103 - Delaware
HUC 10270104 - Lower Kansas
HUC 10270205 - Lower Big Blue
HUC 10270206 - Upper Little Blue
These HUC 8 watersheds contain even smaller watersheds. For example, in Johnson County there are several creeks nested within the Lower Kansas Watershed: Captain Creek, Cedar Creek, Kill Creek, Mill Creek, and Turkey Creek. These are HUC 11 watersheds, which mean that they are smaller than the HUC 8 or the HUC 4 watersheds that they are part of. For example, Kill Creek has the HUC code 10270104150 (this starts with 1027 that means it is within the big Kansas River watershed, followed by 0104 that means its within the smaller Lower Kansas River watershed, and 150 that gives the "address" of the little Kill Creek watershed).

This is my comment submitted on the Article: CSR 2.0 Competitive Advantage for the Future, by Alberto Andreu Pinillos, Global Director of Reputation, CSR, Brand and Sustainability, Telefnica SA.,
Thanks to Alberto for having sent me his paper titled CSR 2.0 Competitive Advantage for the Future that was originally presented by him at for the annual Reputation institute seminar, 5 May 2010, Institute of Directors, London. He has raised important questions and offered solutions for a competitive advantage for the future with a proposal CSR 2.0. I am pleased to comment on the same with the extract from his paper followed by my comments in blockquote following. This blog is in its entirety devoted to my theory of Inactivity Based Cost Management [IBCM] that I have authored with a sub-title Measurement of Intangible: Governance, Ethical & Fiscal Responsibility and Accountability, where every one of these terms including Intangible is defined and buttonholed. So my comments indicated as IBCM will have the perspective of Alberto's paper analyzed.

!! History Commons Alert, Exciting News
Stephen Jones, the lead defense lawyer for indicted Oklahoma City bomber Timothy McVeigh (see 8:35 a.m. - 9:02 a.m. April 19, 1995, July 11-13, 1995, and August 10, 1995), asks the court to subpoena four men that Jones says may have information about the bombing. The subpoenas are in response to a $30 million wrongful-death lawsuit filed against McVeigh by Edye Smith, who lost her two sons in the blast. Jones wants to depose three members of the neo-Nazi British National Party (BNP): John Tyndall, David Irving, and Charles Sergeant. He also wants to depose Dennis Mahon, a Tulsa resident who heads the regional chapter of the White Aryan Resistance (WAR), a white separatist organization. Jones says he wants to know if the three BNP members supplied Mahon with a detonator that may have been used in the bombing. Jones also says that Mahon has told his staffers that he is an explosives expert and had bombed buildings in the past. Mahon denies making these claims, but affirms that Interpol considers him an international terrorist and has denied him admission to Great Britain. Jones says of Mahon, "The FBI has interviewed thousands of people in connection with this case yet they didn't interview an international terrorist living just 90 miles away." Jones has hired a London legal firm to pursue leads that suggest international connections in the bombing. Mahon has said he knew McVeigh from 1993 and 1994, when McVeigh traveled around the country selling weapons and items at gun shows (see April 19, 1993 and After). An informant has also told federal officials that Mahon may have been involved in a bombing plot targeting an Oklahoma City federal building (see August 1994 - March 1995 and November 1994). Jones also sends defense team researcher Ann Bradley to Amsterdam to talk with a lawyer for Daniel Spiegelman, a US citizen being held by Dutch authorities on a charge of "trading in stolen manuscripts," and who faces extradition to the US for weapons smuggling and falsifying passports. The Dutch newspaper De Telegraaf runs a story noting the "resemblance" Spiegelman bears to the bombing suspect identified as "John Doe No. 2" (see April 20, 1995, April 21, 1995, April 29, 1995, and June 14, 1995). Jones tells reporters: "We are certainly pursuing an investigation of that line and have been for some months. The attorney general herself [Janet Reno] said the FBI would certainly be justified to look at a European connection. We believe that the evidence may suggest a broader, deeper, more sophisticated conspiracy." [Stickney, 1996, pp. 264, 271; Associated Press, 2/10/1996]
