MARSTONS MILLS – A six-year-old girl was medflighted to Boston this morning after being hit by a car driven by her father.
According to Barnstable Police Sergeant Sean Sweeney, George Quinn was backing up his Dodge Stratus while five children were playing in the yard at 49 Bracken Fern Drive in Marstons Mills.
The father told police he thought he had accounted for all of them when he began slowly to back up the car. But his daughter Amy went behind the car with her toddler-sized bicycle.
When the father realized the car struck something, he pulled it forward and found his daughter with scrapes and abrasions, according to Sgt. Sweeney.
The girl had lacerations to her legs and knees, as well as a cut to her forehead.
Because of the cut to her forehead, emergency officials determined a medflight was needed, Sweeney said.
Centerville-Osterville-Marstons Mills Fire & Rescue personnel were dispatched to the scene and treated the child.
Due to the nature of the injuries, a medflight was called and a landing zone was designated at Cape Cod Airport in Marstons Mills.
The girl was brought to the airfield by the ambulance and transported to Tufts Medical Center, according to C-O-MM officials.
The girl's injuries were considered serious but not life threatening.
Sweeney said there would be no charges filed because the incident is considered an accident. "The father was very upset," he said.

Young and Chasin' That Money
Hello dear blog!
I have been neglecting my blog and honestly I have totally forgotten about it.
You can say that I have been busy because of work. Last time around I was very occupied because of my surgery and now I am just working my ass off.
I am currently working full-time (read: 37 hours) in a clinic where the work hours are placed in four days and I am off duty in the weekends. It's really lovely actually, but very longs hours tho.
Sometimes I work overtime and then I can definitely feel the heat.
Coming home and feeling absolute exhaust. After work I still manage to go to the gym, but I don't always train so hard. Sometimes I just enjoy to be outside and my gym has a spa area so I take full advantage of that. Just going and enjoying some relaxation lol.
I am not trying very hard to lose weight. Just trying to maintain my weight now. Sitting at 59kg and that's good enough because I just want to be under 60kg actually.
In regards of everything else. I do feel it's weird how things can change so fast. It seems like yesterday I finished school and now?
Here I am..
Full time job and most definitely an adult!
Of course I will always be the same and I will also be humble.
I will never forget where I started and who helped me get to where I am, but…
I can reveal that @ the age of 23; I am earning more than double of the average Danish person.
So now my head is just all about that money.
Setting new goals and becoming the best of the best.
For the new year I'm getting rid of my loans so by the time it's 2017 and I am turning 24.
I will be debt-free and also have enough money to buy my own place.
Obviously I won't have all the money to buy my own place, but I will have the necessary 10-15%.
So that's my current goals.
Basically I want to save up 250k (read: in Danish money).
In regards of my love life; not much has changed.
I just don't make time for it. I am naturally flirty so it's really not a problem to find anyone, but I'd rather have casual relationships or just focusing on my current friends.
I am just not interested in being in a relationship.
Or maybe I have, but he must be really something special.
Because right now?
I enjoy being single.
I enjoy being an egoist.
I enjoy just focusing on myself and my money.
I know it sounds really shallow, but I never had this kind of thing before so I'm loving it.
I love spoiling myself, my sister, my family.
There is no problem 🙂
Honestly tho.
If I had a boyfriend; he would be so lucky and I will be likewise.
Logging off!
Much love,

Balancing School With Extracurricular Activities
Are your kids overscheduled? Here's how to tell if they're taking on too many activities, and how you can help them find a good balance.
"Go outside and play!" That was the edict most parents used to issue to children just a few decades ago. But today's world isn't quite as safe, and so activities and play have become more formalized. Going to college is more common today, too, which means added pressure to do well in school as well as in activities outside of school. All of this adds up to more involvement in a slew of extracurricular activities. The challenge: Helping your kids maintain a healthy balance between school and the myriad of extracurricular activities they have on their plates.
"There's definitely less informal play these days," says George W. Shannon, MD, FAAFP, a family physician in Georgia who is on the board of directors of the American Academy of Family Physicians. "Good parents have concerns about kids in unsupervised environments. We've all heard horror stories about kids being snatched. I used to wake up and get on my bike at 6 in the morning and come back at dark. Today there are more structured activities. I'm glad because, in the absence of free-form play, there would be nothing for them to do."
There is also some parental pressure for kids to succeed. "You must make sure you don't put undue pressure on kids when it comes to extracurricular activities," Dr. Shannon says. "The kids will be stressed. When our plates are too full, we might be short-tempered; we feel rushed. I've seen some kids who are tremendous over-achievers. Some kids can handle it and others can't."
Finding the Right Balance: School and Extracurricular Activities
Here are some tips from the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia to help your children maintain a good balance between academics and activities:
- Check in on time management. Get together regularly with your children to make sure their involvement in extracurricular activities isn't negatively impacting their academics. Discuss scheduling and time management to be sure they are not overwhelmed.
- Divide your attention equally. Be sure that you spend as much time with your child going over schoolwork as you do in helping to prepare for a school play or practice for a ball game.
- Don't push in the wrong direction. Encourage your children to get involved in at least one club or activity of their choosing. If you push them into an extracurricular activity they don't like, they may wind up resenting the activity and possibly you.
- Promote real-world activities. Getting involved in a language club or the school newspaper makes learning a child's favorite subject, such as English or Spanish, even more enjoyable.
- Encourage role models. Kids need the friendship and inspiration found in the relationships with teachers, counselors, and coaches that develop during extracurricular activities.
- Foster friendships. Allow children to be involved with friends as part of these clubs to build lasting relationships.
- Teach them about teamwork and competition. Encourage an interest in sports or other activities that require tryouts and competition. Kids will learn the value of good teamwork and competition.
- Talk about good sportsmanship and build strong self-esteem. Being involved in extracurricular activities can sometimes mean losing or winning an event or competition. Help prepare your child for those ups and downs.
- Be honest about what extracurricular activities cost. Make sure your child understands that extracurricular activities can often add extra costs to the family budget (for uniforms, instruments, and club fees) so that they value your financial commitment.
- See switching gears as normal. Don't be too upset if your child wants to change activities. It's important to try new things and switching activities is normal.
A Well-Rounded Education
The U.S. Department of Education points out that just about every school offers some extracurricular activities, from music to sports to academic clubs. Involvement can reinforce academics and help kids to learn social skills. Also, research has shown that involvement in extracurricular activities can improve a child's sense of belonging to the school and reduce his chance of failing or even dropping out.
But remember that kids are exploring what works and what doesn't, so give them some room to change. "If your child is trying to pull away from an activity, recognize that he may have too much on his plate," Shannon says. "He doesn't have to start playing football at age 7. … Don't push kids into activities that they don't want to do."

The benefits of commercial lighting control systems
Commercial lighting control systems can significantly lower operating costs for building owners, improve the building's working environment, and enhance the security of the facility and tenants. Commercial lighting control systems are rapidly evolving, gaining capabilities that can greatly benefit building owners. Automated home lighting systems are one of the most popular home purchases this year, eagerly sought by homeowners who want to lower costs and make their homes more efficient. Commercial lighting control systems are available that are far more advanced than these home systems. Using a sophisticated network of sensors, occupancy controls, and automated systems, these modern lighting control systems can greatly enhance the energy efficiency and security of facilities of all sizes.
Energy efficiency and commercial lighting control systems
Lighting accounts for almost half of the energy used in commercial buildings, a whopping 40 percent, according to the US Energy Department. An estimated 30 percent of that energy is wasted on lighting areas that are unoccupied. Commercial lighting control systems can help reduce the amount of energy wasted on unnecessary lighting usage, greatly improving the energy efficiency of buildings.
The most advanced commercial lighting control systems work as part of a comprehensive building automation system. The lighting control system relies on motion sensors, RFID scanners, and other occupancy sensors that are installed throughout the facility to keep track of whether an area is in use at any given time. Once the sensors verify that an area is unoccupied, time and zone controls are used to turn off the lights in the areas of your building that are empty, eliminating a major source of wasted energy.
Security and commercial lighting control systems
Stand-alone lighting control systems can provide affordable loss prevention protection for remote facilities. Light sensors can turn on lights when areas become dim, so doorways, windows, and other areas of vulnerability are illuminated. Motion sensors that use smart technology can detect when objects or individuals enter an area, and turn on lights and/or alarms to chase off intruders. Sensitivity controls can be adjusted as needed.
Advances in commercial lighting control systems
The latest commercial lighting systems can all be controlled remotely over the Internet. Building owners can use smartphones, tablets, or laptops to take remote command of their lighting controls, adjusting occupancy, scheduling, dimming, and other controls at any time, from any location that has Internet access. Commercial buildings that have multiple tenants can include tenant override technology in their lighting control systems that allow tenants to use their smartphones to override the lighting, HVAC, and temperature controls that have been set. This is particularly useful with tenants who keep atypical business hours, so they can arrive at a building that is well-lit and comfortable no matter what schedule they keep.
The latest commercial lighting control systems include innovations like optional Fast Ethernet-based control that harnesses the openness of a building's existing Ethernet backbone, sharing data between controllers at blindingly fast speeds. Enhanced options are available for larger industrial and commercial facilities, including ready access to panel status and configuration screens via an integral web server, alarm notification services, and more.
Commercial lighting control system installation
As the leader in South Florida lighting control system companies, Advanced Control Corporation has reduced the operating costs of thousands of facilities of all sizes, from small, single building systems to networked facilities in multiple locations. Call Advanced at 954-491-6660 so our knowledgeable technicians can install a commercial lighting control system that will start you on the path to lower energy bills and higher efficiency today!

Getting Everything Wrong
That's what I did last year, at least on the predictions front. Boy, I really thought we were all going down the tubes, didn't I?
This year, I'm not much in the mood to make predictions. Indeed, the larger world seems to have rather receded in the last year for me, in favor of the "little world."
For myself, on the writing front, my main goal this year is finishing the screenplay I'm currently working on and writing at least one other, and hopefully getting some real interest in one or the other (or both! dream big!). I picked a heck of a time to try to break into the movie business, but heck, it beats Wall Street.
But it's just conceivable that somebody out there is still looking for me to writing something on this blog. If so, what might that be?

Our skin is composed of an important gland called Sebaceous. The job of sebaceous gland is to moisten the skin by releasing oil on skin pores. Acne develops and appears when the sebaceous have sore resulting to a small round reddish swelling usually on the facial skin, neck and back. These skin problem is emotionally embarrassing especially to teenagers. Some folks and researchers found that acne can be relieved by home remedies such as tea tree oil, apple cider vinegar, natural honey mask, aloe vera, garlic, baking soda, and witch hazel.
The Top Home Remedies for Acne (In no particular order):
Baking soda
Baking soda can be used as facial cleanser or toner by adding water until it becomes a solution. Gently rub onto the skin in a circular motion, leave until it dries and then rinse with water. This will cleanse skin pores and eliminates dead skin thus reduce the formation of acne. Baking soda mask will also help relieve acne by soothing the swollen part, do it once a week.
Tea Tree Oil
The oil found on this tree has an extreme potent action that kills the growth of bacteria that is useful in getting rid of acne. It deeply cleanse and absorb the extra oil on the skin making it clean and fresh.
Natural Honey Masks
Natural Honey Masks are highly helpful in relieving and clearing of acne scars. A carefull facial cleansing should be done before the application of honey mask, apply it for about thirty minutes, observe careful application to prevent eye discomfort, and rinse with cool water. Do these regularly until the scars disappear.
Apple Cider Vinegar
Apple cider vinegar is among the top home remedies for acne with an outstanding detoxifying action. Breakdown of fat deposits are done by its functional group alpha-hydroxy acids on the skin therefore relieving and fining acne. Allergic reactions may be present to some (use other home remedies).
Garlic is loaded with antibacterial and anti-inflammatory benefits that are necessary in relieving acne and clearing acne scars. This acne home remedy is mostly favored because it eliminates lots of bacteria that is causing acne. Other people have recommended that garlic ingestion might help clean and detoxify your internals thus relieve some symptoms of acne.
Witch hazels
Witch hazel has antiseptic properties and is rich in tannin acid which helps prevent formation and inflammation of acne. Witch hazel is being used nowadays as acne astringent by cleansing the skin and minimizing skin pores which is extremely effective remedy for acne. It is applied topically three times a day to the affected skin.
Aloe Vera
Aloe Vera is among the top home remedies for acne that is beneficial to both internal and external skin care because of the polysaccharides that are necessary for skin restoration. It also inhibits or slows the skin soreness and refines the scar left by multiple acne. Like the honey mask application, a careful cleansing should be done before the application to open or prepare the skin pores for the absorption of aloe vera extract on the skin thus quicker skin restoration.

Discovery Cove is an excellent place for fun. The staff is great and it offers a wonderful experience. This was our first time swimming with dolphins which was amazing. The water temperature in with the dolphins is about 70 degrees so a wet suit is recommended to keep you warm.
The lazy river is so relaxing oh and the water temperature is much warmer and more comfortable no wet suit needed there.
The grand reef is great. You get to snorkle with the fish and rays it's absolutely breath taking.
The park has a daily limit on visitors so you don't notice any huge crowds in the park. This made it easier for us to enjoy our day there. It's a beautiful, tropical fun place to visit. Highly recommended.

USS Bates (DE-68/APD-47), a Buckley-class destroyer escort of the United States Navy, was named in honor of Ensign Edward M. Bates (19 September 1919 – 7 December 1941), who was killed on board USS Arizona during the attack on Pearl Harbor.
Bates was launched on 6 June 1943 at the Bethlehem-Hingham Shipyard, Inc., Hingham, Massachusetts; sponsored by Mrs. Elizabeth Mason Bates, mother of Ensign Bates; and commissioned on 12 September 1943, with Lieutenant Commander E. H. Maher, USNR in command.
Service historyEdit
Bates reported to the Atlantic Fleet, and escorted convoys to and from the British Isles until May 1944, primarily engaged in coastal escort and patrol duty with Escort Division 19. At this time, CortDiv 19 consisted of the destroyer escorts Bates, Bull, Bunch, Rich, Amesbury, and Blessman. She completed three round-trip crossings by May. On 31 May 1944 she arrived at Plymouth, England, and reported to TF 129 in preparation for the invasion of Normandy. Between 6 and 12 June, she carried out fire support duties off the Normandy coast. On 8 June, she rescued 163 survivors of the destroyer Meredith (DD-726), which sustained severe damage and sank when she struck a mine.
Returning to New York City on 21 June, Bates underwent a brief yard availability and then escorted another convoy to England. Upon her return, she was converted to a Charles Lawrence-class high speed transport by Marine Basin Company, Brooklyn, New York. On 31 July her classification was changed to APD-47. Her conversion was completed on 23 October, and she departed the east coast five days later for the Pacific Ocean.
Between December 1944 and February 1945, Bates carried out training operations, with various Underwater Demolition Teams embarked, in the vicinity of the Hawaiian and western Caroline Islands. On 10 February, she departed Ulithi en route to the invasion of Iwo Jima. She arrived off Iwo Jima on 16 February and remained in the vicinity until 4 March, during which time she conducted high-speed observation runs around the island and acted as the parent ship for UDT-12.
After a brief period of availability at Ulithi she departed for the invasion of Okinawa. Between 25 March and 25 May, Bates assisted in UDT operations, conducted patrols, and escorted two convoys between Ulithi and Okinawa. On 6 April she rescued 23 survivors of the destroyer Morris (DD-417), which had been hit by a Japanese suicide aircraft.
At 1115 on 25 May, while patrolling two miles south of Ie Shima, Okinawa, Bates was attacked by three Japanese aircraft. The first dropped a bomb, scoring a near miss which ruptured the starboard hull of the ship, and then crashed into the starboard side of the fantail. The second aircraft, almost simultaneously, made a suicide hit on the pilothouse. Shortly thereafter, the third aircraft made a bombing run scoring a near miss amidships, portside, rupturing the hull. At 1145 the commanding officer ordered Bates abandoned. Twenty-one of her crew were either dead or missing from the attacks. During the afternoon, the tug Cree (ATF-84) was able to get a line aboard and towed Bates to Ie Shima anchorage. At 1923 on 25 May 1945, the still burning Bates capsized and sank in 20 fathoms of water.
Bates received three battle stars for her World War II service in the Atlantic and Pacific.

I have been taking photographs since I was a child and down through the years I have had many different cameras including my first love, an old Zenith B SLR camera which weighed a ton but opened up new creative possibilities to me. I am now mostly digital although I do have a Mamiya RB67, a medium-format film camera which takes great studio shots.
I was initially self-taught and read everything I could find on aperture, depth-of-field and so on. Street photography and art photography in particular interested me the most and over time I began to sell my work, through exhibitions and various publications, and I was also offered several opportunities as photographer-in-residence which gave me the chance to create work in a new environment without the pressure of selling. To cut a long story short, this eventually led me to study for an MA in Internationl Photojournalism, Travel & Social Documentary Photography.
I have also led workshops and courses, and taught one-to-one - and I've always loved the teaching aspect of my work. I get great satisfaction out of communicating technical subjects in a clear, easy to understand way and derive pleasure from knowing that my knowledge has benefited someone else.
|Anne writes in such a clear way and the book includes so many tips and techniques ...If you follow even just a few of her suggestions you are bound to expand your knowledge and discover new ways of looking.
All this led me to set up a website and put together this Creative Guide to Photography in which my skills as a photographer and teacher are brought together. The tips and techniques are illustrated with over 70 photographs, most of them in colour and all high resolution. Some images are my own but you will also find great photos by a wide variety of other photographers.
There is a wealth of information on my website and this book is derived from the best of the tips and techniques sections. I have collated this information as a downloadable eBook for viewing directly on your computer or eBook reader or for printing out as an A4 booklet for your convenience and ease of use, and at a very affordable price. The eBook is fully indexed so you can look things up easily then just click the link and go directly to that page. There is also a full table of contents at the beginning. If you scroll further down the page you can see what is in store for you.
I really do hope that you find the experience of reading the book enjoyable but even more importantly I hope you find it inspires you to try out new things, look at the world in a new way, and create amazing shots that you will still look at in years to come and say: I really like that!
Anne Darling's "Creative Guide to Photography" is a must for anyone who wants to develop their creativity. It offers an easy way into taking great photographs but doesn't compromise on quality, both in terms of analysis and presentation.
It is practical without being too technical, and at the same time shares with the reader Anne's incredible enthusiasm which is inspiring. When you follow her Creative Guide to Photography, it makes you realize that being creative need not be difficult.
Anne's expert tips and techniques explain exactly what to do and how to do it. The photographs in themselves are as informative as they are beautiful, and often there is no need for explanatory text. Armed with this 60 page guide, you are sure to be full of fresh ideas and raring to go.
Don't miss this chance to learn from someone who knows what she is talking about and knows how to communicate it too.

Sydney, NSW 2000
You know what is super duper excruciatingly awkward? When you walk into a restaurant, sit down, and look at the menu for a good 10 minutes, before realising that you're in the wrong place. At least I realised before the banchan came out.
In my defence, Sydney Madang is hard to find. Not only is it one of many on a street lined with Korean restaurants, it's also tucked away in a side alley, marked out by an incredibly unhelpful sign. In fact, when I finally found the restaurant (after excruciatingly excusing ourselves from the first), I felt as if I had been temporarily transported back to Korea, with its plethora of bustling back street eats.
As you can see, there was a wait, but it was surprisingly reasonable given the size of the crowd. Pretty soon we found ourselves sitting down amongst raucously shouted greetings from the staff, greedily inhaling the aroma of meat sizzling on the BBQ.
The Banchan game here is strong, with 5 different dishes on offer the night we visited. There was the obligatory kimchi, followed by slivers of seasoned potato, pickled tomato and onion slices, chewy strips of fish cake, and a green salad dressed with an odd but also oddly addictive slurry of mayonnaise and mashed potato.
The meal started well with a plate of Haemul Jabchae ($17). The sweet potato noodles were slippery and chewy, stir-fried in a sweet, smoky sauce with plenty of seafood and fresh veggies. The portion is on the smaller side, but quality over quantity, right?
But it was the Kimchi Jjigae ($16) that really impressed me. The depth of flavour in the soup base was unrivalled by anything I've had to date, and hidden under the surface was a plethora of goodies, with the chunky pieces of pork belly being a highlight. Frankly I only shared this with Chris because I had to; I would've happily devoured this on my own.
I'll admit to not being a great connoisseur of Korean food; often I can't tell the difference between the decent stuff and the good stuff, and I've never fully understood when my hairdresser laments that the restaurants here aren't as good as what he's used to back in Korea. However, I do seem to know enough to decide that Sydney Madang does some of the best Korean food (or at least, kimchi stew) I've ever had.
Rating: 14/20 – maDANG that's good.
This rating reflects my personal experience at the time of visit.

Is there an api like IJavaBreakpointListener in JDT Follow
I need to impliment a plugin to deal with a breakpoint event, is there something like IJavaBreakpointListener?
What event exactly do you need to handle? IJavaBreakpointListener supports multiple different types of events, and not all of them have equivalents in IntelliJ IDEA.
There are A.java,A.class and B.class generated from A.class,I need to know a whether a breakpoint is A.java and put it at a specific position in B.class, In JDT, I can use addingBreakpoint() in IJavaBreakpointListener and creatRequest in Javabreakpoint. Is there something equivalent in idea?
Yes. To add a listener for receiving a notification when a breakpoint is added, use XDebuggerManager.getInstance(project).getBreakpointManager().addBreakpointListener(). To add a breakpoint, use getBreakpointManager().addLineBreakpoint(). As the breakpoint type in both calls, use XBreakpointUtil.findType("java-line").
Thanks, I'll try that. Is there any document avaliable?
No, not at the moment.

With money beginning to lose value, it's important to understand asset deflation and monetary inflation to understand how it can affect you in the investment world. Keep reading to learn more about inflation and deflation.
No Inflation?
Although money production is going up, we haven't seen any inflation yet. In fact, we're currently seeing deflation. Why is this? Right now, money supply is on the rise. However, credit supply is rather low, meaning it's harder than average to get credit in the current economy.
The result of money supply in combination with credit supply results in either inflation or
deflation. Because the number we get from adding these two factors together is negative, we're currently experiencing deflation. However, it's probably temporary deflation because credit is beginning to come back to the market.
Supply and Demand
Jason Hartman teaches that the basic law of economics is supply and demand. What we're experiencing now is a lack of demand. Currently, demand has plummeted because Americans are finally beginning to put their money into savings, as they
should have been doing to begin with. Because the economy is fueled by supply and demand, the governm
ent is rather unhappy about this. If there's no demand, companies have to respond accordingly.
Decreased Production
While demand is declining, companies are responding by decreasing production. In the process of decreasing production, they're closing plants, closing supply channels, and laying off their employees. In response to this, the government uses fiscal policy to adjust its levels of spending to influence the economy. As Jason Hartman says, they're trying to inflate the bubble. To accomplish this, the government will create money and spend it on a variety of things.
We may also see monetary policy, which can be defined as
regulation of money supply by the Federal Reserve Board to control inflation and stabilize currency in the US. Money supply is increasing quite a bit due to government promises and debt, but this money is being created out of nowhere. Eventually the money will start trickling down from the banks into Wall Street. Once it starts trickling into the economy, we'll begin to see inflation.
Inflation is a good opportunity for income property investment. As monetary inflation occurs, real estate investors can use it to pay off their mortgages on income properties. Use this to your advantage to protect and create future wealth. (Top Image: Flickr | Peretzp)

Mandeville, La. - The Mandeville Police Department is investigating a possible attempted kidnapping that happened Tuesday afternoon.
A spokesman with the Mandeville Police Department says around 3:45 p.m., an 11 year-old girl got off a school bus near the intersection of Cambronne Street and Barbara Place.
As she walked to her driveway, an older model car pulled alongside of her and stopped. The driver got out of the vehicle and asked the girl, "do you need a ride home?"
Police say the girl started running toward her home and as she reached the front door, she looked back and saw the driver running after her.
She was able to get inside the house before the subject could get close to her. The child told her father who ran outside, but the suspect had already fled in the vehicle.
The child described the suspect as an Hispanic male, heavy set, with dark colored hair cut short and with a mustache and glasses. The subject was wearing a light blue polo style shirt.
Witnesses in the area told police a subject matching that description had been seen before driving a late model sedan, possibly a Cadillac, that is rust covered with possibly a faded green paint job.
Anyone with information is asked to call the Mandeville Police Department at 985-626-9711.

Your customers have high expectations. They want to feel confident they choose the right company for their needs, and you want to feel good about what you're providing them. Here are 5 tips for providing standout customer service:
1. Learn how to identify unique needs. Each of your customers is unique, so remember that when finding a solution for them, one size will likely not fit all. Identify what each customer wants and how you can provide what is right for them, and go above and beyond this!
2. Earn their trust. Being honest and exceeding expectations are steps to earning your customer's trust. And you know what they say… people buy from people they know, like, and trust.
3. Be responsive. If a customer has a question, concern, or problem, genuinely listen to their concerns and respond as soon as you can. Make it obvious that they matter to you, and that they aren't just a number.
4. Remember that they are human, too. Getting to know them and growing/establishing your relationships with your customers will help to ensure they will return for more.
5. Say 'Thank You'. You can do this through small initiatives, promotions, or even just simple words. However you do it, making sure your customers know they are appreciated will go a long way!
Remember that referrals can be the best source for bringing you new business, so be sure you're giving your customers something great to talk about!

Am I Mom Enough? (Voices in My Head)
Even though I know better, sometimes it's hard not to feel like a failure.
Kids get older. Things change. People change, and circumstances change. It's never easy – this type of parenting. But it gets so complicated as the children grow. It's so different; a big change. I'm autistic. I don't like change. I'm scared of change. I can't control things when they change…
So much of friendship and socializing at this age depends upon the parent to arrange/facilitate/develop the connections. To model it as well. It's especially important when you know that your child can't/won't do it for themselves. But what complicates the matter is that I can't do it either. I'm not made that way. I'm not like other moms.
I can't be the Room Mom.
I can't chat it up every day at pick up and drop off with other parents.
I can't handle the loud, crowded birthday parties.
I'm not savvy enough to score play dates with classmates for my kids.
I haven't heard that song or read that magazine article.
I haven't watched that show or that sports game.
I don't have cooking or decorating tips to share.
I am anxious about lock-ins, sleepovers, and other activities where I can't assure my kids safety.
I don't like being out in the elements.
I don't like not having a plan.
I want you all to have friends. You need friends, right? It's a part of life/development/coming of age? I know you're content alone, or with family, but maybe you need more too? And just don't know it, because I'm not doing a good job at giving it to you? I'm cultivating you to think it's okay to be like me…maybe you don't want to be like me? Maybe you want to be kind of like them too?
How do I get you friends? How do I play the game right, so these moms won't think I'm a freak and they will consider letting you in? And then if we pass that barrier, we still don't even know if you will make friends with their child. Maybe you won't have anything in common. Maybe it's too much hassle. Maybe they will think you're weird – and then I will shut the whole thing down, because I'm not going to let anyone shun or hurt my baby. Maybe you just won't be in the mood to exert the spoons to try something new like meeting a classmate in an unfamiliar environment on that particular day – which I understand. Maybe…maybe…maybe…
I'm too much. Of everything. Too much for everyone, maybe even myself. I overthink everything, overdo everything, over-stress over everything – and end up not accomplishing anything.
The mom stuff. The small talk. I can do it in small doses. But I can't sustain it over time, not being me. I have to be me. I want to be me. But I will be something else if I have to if it will benefit you. Just to gain you access, get you through the door. Once you are inside, prayerfully how wonderful you are will be apparent. I just need to get them to see you – really see you. I will be whatever I need to be – for you. But I only want you to be YOU. Don't change for anyone. You are perfect. Do as I say, not as I do…don't be like me.
Here we are. I am devastated. I try, and fail. And then because I have previously failed I am plagued with trepidation and doubt. Which makes it even harder to try again. Which makes me suck at it even more. You don't have any friends. I don't think you do. You don't seem to miss not having any. You don't seem to care. Is that normal? Am I making you friendless, abnormal? You smile every day. Is it real? Are you really happy? Is this enough for you? Am I giving you enough, showing you enough? Am I trying hard enough? Doing enough? For you?
My child. My children. My loves. You are the reason I draw breath. Am I failing you? How can I help you do something I don't even know how to do? How can I teach you something I have never been good at? How can I get them – other kids – to accept you, want to know you, to like you – when I can't navigate the parent layer that guards the gate?
All people don't socialize the same way. Deep down inside me I know there's nothing wrong with who I am, with how I am. That even if I wasn't an autistic mom I shouldn't have to feel forced to conform to contrived social gender norms of how a "mom" is supposed to be with regard to supporting her children in having friendships.
I know this…cognitively. But that doesn't make me immune to the messages that whisper that I am nothing like what I am supposed to be as a mother. That I'm doing it all wrong. That I am making them social misfits. That my failure to be able to do these things that come so easily to other moms is going to, and already is, having a negative impact on them. That they are going to suffer in life because of this, because me, and that I am therefore an inadequate mother.
I believe in acceptance. I write about acceptance. I present about acceptance. I teach about acceptance.
But if I'm going to be real with myself and with you, the truth is LIVING that acceptance in all areas of your life in all ways at all times…it's hard. I don't always succeed.
I don't have answer to any of my questions. I still don't know if I'm doing this right or wrong. I want to so much for you. To be happy. I don't want you to ever go through what I went through. I don't want you to ever feel broken. I don't want you to ever BE broken.
I don't want you to ever know what it's like. To live with these voices in your head. That tell you you're not enough, never enough. I evicted them from my head, but they came back when I had you. I'm okay being just me if it was only me. But I don't know if just me – as I am – is good for you. Is right for you. Is enough for you.
I just want to be the mom you need – without losing me.
Somehow, I will find my way.

The U.S. has enough installed solar energy capacity to power 4.6 million homes. Solar energy accounted for 32 percent of total new power generation in 2014, exceeding coal and wind energy but lagging behind natural gas. In just nine years, the installed cost of solar energy has fallen by more than 73 percent – setting up the industry for explosive growth.
TriplePundit spoke with Vikram Aggarwal, founder and CEO of EnergySage, the so-called "Expedia of solar," about solar energy trends and what to expect for 2016 in the residential market.
1. Unprecedented boom continues
Last year, analysts predicted that solar would grow by 57.4 gigawatts in 2015. The recent five-year extension of the investment tax credit (ITC) in the U.S. for both residential and commercial installations further enhances the growth trend. Now that solar manufacturing capacity has expanded significantly, the price of solar equipment has plummeted – making solar energy cheaper than grid-supplied power in many markets.
"The residential solar market is a vibrant $7 billion industry, and on track to generate more revenue by year-end 2016 than Major League Baseball," Aggarwal said. "The economics of solar are rapidly changing for solar shoppers, installers and financiers alike."

Consider Hiring Roof Replacement Brooklyn Park MN Company
What are the chances that you will opt for roof replacement Brooklyn Park MN before you are compelled to do so?
Most homeowners will not even consider roof replacement in Brooklyn Park MN before there is some very significant damage and the damages are irreparable or beyond any salvaging. It is perfectly natural to be reactive. Most property owners will want to steer away from spending or expenditures in every situation where delaying is possible. But what most homeowners don't realize or don't give importance to is the extent to which a damaged roof or an unattended roof can hamper the property and pose a threat to the habitants.
If a roof is leaking, if there are substantial cracks or cave-ins, if a roof is susceptible to tear apart when subjected to weather extremes and if it facilitates any other damage then the roof is not just unhealthy or in need of a replacement but it is a disaster waiting to happen. Such a roof should not only be inspected and got rid of but one should opt for roof replacement sooner than later.
You may not know how much damage moisture build-up or leakages can do. You may not have calculated how much power you will be wasting if you don't have the insulation in your roof working properly. Also, your property will be assessed to be much less valuable than it actually is if you have a poor quality roof or one that is in dire need of a replacement.
Timely roof replacement in Brooklyn Park MN should never be an option or a choice. You must be proactive with it.

Tampa Bay Devil Dogs (8 days until opening day)
DRG here again to get you through the weekend…
Yesterday: Tampa Bay Rays. Rained out.
- Jeremy Guthrie will be the Orioles opening day starter against the Rays on March 31. The O's are yet to reveal the remaining rotation. [Baltimore Sun]
- Jeff Niemann was not happy about his demotion. Joe Maddon sounds as if a major league debut in the near future is no guarantee for Niemann. [Tampa Tribune]
If he can get a little consistent roll in Triple-A and there's a need, he could be very interesting."
- Rays of Light laments the decision to include Jason Hammel in the rotation, and wonders if the decision was based in part of the fear of seeing Hammel become a better pitcher somewhere else. [Rays of Light]
- Joe Maddon hinted that Grant Balfour might have overtaken Scott Dohmann for the final bullpen slot, although he won't make a decision until the end of the week. [Tampa Bay Rays]
"The location of the pitches have been much better," Maddon said. "[Balfour's] throwing a strike when he needs to, and he's been down [in the strike zone], and it's really nice to see."
- DRays Bay interviews Keith Law. [DRays Bay]
- Joe Maddon does not see any correlation between success in the spring and the regular season, although Carl Crawford says building a winning atmosphere has to start someplace. [Tampa Tribune]
"I'm just so cognizant of the regular season, how different it is from spring training," he said. "And then you also have to guard against this sense of 'We're so much better because we've had a good spring training.'
"It depends on who you ask," left fielder Carl Crawford said. "If you ask a team on the other side, they might say, 'It's just spring training, it don't mean nothing.' But a team like us, where we're trying to build some momentum going into the season, it's a good thing.
- When the Rays drafted Fernando Perez, they converted him to a switch-hitter. The team wanted him to bunt a lot from the left side to utilize his speed. Perez had other ideas. He refuse to bunt a lot preferring to become a good hitter from both sides of the plate. [Herald-Tribune]
- While the Rays have made significant efforts to reach out to fans in other markets, especially Orlando, little effort has been made in the Gainesville area. The Rays say they are waiting to see if their is demand for the Rays in the area before making an effort, which seems the opposite of other areas. [Gainesville Sun]

Making Money from hubpages
Have I Made Money From Hubpages
Have i made money from hub pages??? That's the question most new people to hub pages ask,well yes and no is the answer but back to that later.I must admit and most people probably wont that i joined to earn a bit of spare cash and make some money from hubpages and I'm not ashamed of that but what i found was that when i got started i really enjoyed writing.I found that by writing in my spare time about topics i enjoyed and knew about it came really easy.Did i make money in the first 6months??NO....I think i made about $1.50 in the first 6months and had a good 10 hubs or so.It was only when i gave up trying to earn from it and just wrote to chill myself out after a hard day at work that the rewards started to come.My personal recommendation would be to start writing because you enjoy writing about topics you are knowledgeable in not too make cash.But it is entirely possible to make money from hubpages,and lots of it.
The Last 6 months!!
In the last 6months and with an extra 15 hubs or so i have seen my earnings from AdSense creep up from about $2.50 a month up to about $4.50 a month and is slowly increasing,i know, i know its not gonna make me able to retire but it is improving and my aim is to be up to $10 a month before the end of the year and perhaps up to $100 a month by the end of next year and with some quality writing i don't see why that is not possible.So in answer to the question am i making money from hub pages the answer is yes i am but not a lot, it takes dedication and a true desire to write good articles.
Im going to offer some advice on how to do well with adsense and how to achieve earnings on hubpages that increase steadily instead of these fake i make $100,000 a week adverts.
One of the better tools available out there is googles keyword tool it is a programme that allows you to enter any word or phrase and it will show you how many times that particular word or phrase has been searched for on google over the past month and all the words that are similar.I will put the link too it under my links page.Pick topics that not only you know about but topics that are popular,i found that out the hard way,For example i know a lot about repairing cars as i am a mechanic but when i did an article on how to gain more mileage from your car i got 28 page views in 6 months,however when i did an article on the ten top tips for sucess on UFC undisputed the video game which had just come out i got 2630 hits in 2 and a half weeks.Know what is popular it works.
Try tracking your best hubs to see how many hits your getting and where they are coming from,its good to know your audience.
Stick with it
Stick with it.you will reap the benifits eventually,you wont be able to quit work but an extra few hundred dollars would help would it not,write what you love and know about and the adsense earnings will come.
Update On My Hubpage Earnings
Well 18 months after i first published this hub and i have finally started to make some real money,now my AdSense earnings have changed from dollars to Pounds as i am UK based and my hubs have risen from about 30ish up to 147 and i am now earning from AdSense alone upwards of £60 a month plus about £30 a month from eBay and same again from amazon so in total i am now over £100 a month which is more like $160 if you are in the US.Good luck to the rest of you reading this and remember making money from hub-pages is possible.
Thanks for sharing . my earnings are creeping up slowly , on about $12-13 a month at the moment .
Fantastic information and very inspiring actually! I think that by just writing for the enjoyment of it, will make the actual process a lot easier, because at the moment while trying to write for money, it's not working so well...
Great Hub. You have some helpful information here. You definitely answered some questions I had.
honest and insightful.

David Bowie: A Tale Told In Glam & Scandal
In 1974 Bowie moved to the US, first to New York and then to LA. 'Diamond Dogs', a concept album setting 1984 to music, was the result of his recording sessions on the new continent and proved a hit both sides of the Atlantic. A lavish tour was arranged, but coincided with Bowie's increasing cocaine use and emaciation. He broke in Philadelphia to record the plastic soul of 'Young Americans', giving him his first US No.1, 'Fame'. When 'Space Oddity' was rereleased in the UK, it too went to No.1.

"Are the nap pods real?"
I was wide-eyed and eager for an answer, like The Internship was Harry Potter and I would finally discover if Hogwarts existed.
Feeling like I was on a middle school field trip, I spoke with Janet An '16, a software engineering intern at Google, over a delicious dinner. My plate was piled high with free taco salad, free grilled corn on the cob, and a free, hearty concoction of Mexican rice, beans, and ground beef.
…did I mention it was free?
"Yeah, there are a couple in that building over there," she responded, pointing behind me. "There's also a ball pit there."
Alright, let's face it. If you've never interned at Google and you watched The Internship, weren't you just a teensy bit curious about how much Vince Vaughn and Jared Stern (the other guy who apparently also wrote the script) actually got right?
"Noogler" caps? Yes.
Pursuing and actually dating your hot supervisor without getting a sexual harassment suit against you? No.
Nap pods? Yes.
I-must-beat-everyone-else-to-be-successful-here intern competition? No.
Free food? Oh, so much yes.
An, who applied to Google her sophomore year, simply wanted to work at a big company.
"It gives internships more structure," she explained. "My friend who works at a small startup spent a week setting up a programming environment that my manager at Google helped me set up in ten minutes."
According to An, whose project deals with an aspect of Google Maps (that's as much as she can say due to a non-disclosure agreement she signed), the best part of her internship isn't the crazy perks; it's the people.
"I love my team," she said. "They're really welcoming and I feel like I'm learning a lot."
Pablo Hernandez '17, another software engineering intern who works on the AdWords team to optimize ad revenue, agrees that the people are one of the best parts of the internship.
"They really treat you like you're part of the team," he said. "You attend all the meetings and they're really open to helping you."
Because each intern works on a different project, the atmosphere is non-competitive and pretty pressure free, according to An.
And a lot of the teams aren't just welcoming in a work sense. When An and I visited her desk, it was surrounded by nerf gun bullets.
"Yeah…I seem to be the target of their game," she said, laughing.
Of course, working at Google isn't just a stress-free dip into the ole nap pod. Interns are no longer in CS 106A lectures and there is no Karel the Robot or Keith Schwarz. Work can be tough, bugs persistent, and long days prove to be boring at times.
On a typical day, an intern starts work around 9, takes a few breaks, has a couple meals, works some more, then leaves at 5, according to Hernandez.
Unlike An, Hernandez had a less positive experience with the "big company" aspect of Google.
"Since it's so big, there's always a lot of dead time because projects are so connected and you're always waiting on somebody to do something," he said.
An, who rarely experienced any "dead time" says it really depends on the team and project you are assigned. Regardless, you learn, and gain valuable experience surrounded by techies all alike.
And despite any qualms a Google intern may have about the internship, there seems to be one thing in common: they all want to return.
"I'd love to come back," said Hernandez, who placed value in the relationships he built. "It'd be cool to be on a different team and work on a different project."
"I would definitely work here full time," An said. "I like Google's mission of making the world's information accessible to everyone."
I, for one, was sold on the free food and nap pods.

The NHS will take a major step in improving the care of patients with brain cancer when the first dedicated Brain Tumour Unit opens at The National Hospital for Neurology and Neurosurgery (NHNN), part of University College Hospitals London NHS Foundation Trust (UCLH).
The National Brain Appeal, the charity that supports the hospital by funding clinical posts, cutting edge technology, infrastructure and research, has invested a total of £2.5 million in the unit and brain cancer service.
Every day at least 20 people are diagnosed with a brain tumour. The Brain Tumour Unit and its pioneering team of specialist doctors, nurses, therapists and researchers will pave the way for breakthroughs in the treatment and understanding of the disease for the benefit of anyone affected in the UK. Funding from The National Brain Appeal has been crucial for enabling this vital work.
Patients will benefit from rapid assessment and treatment thanks to the dedicated unit and multidisciplinary team, all specialists in brain tumours.
The 12-bed inpatient and assessment unit will provide support for patients, families and carers while they are in hospital and after they are discharged. Work on clinical trials and research into tumours also forms a fundamental part of the work carried out by the team.
The hospital's comprehensive brain cancer service has developed significantly over the past three years, with key clinical and research staff recruited with the help of the charity.
UCLH now has significant capacity for a range of brain tumour clinical trials. They have six studies currently open and were the number one recruiter worldwide for a recent trial. This is a direct result of The National Brain Appeal funding clinical trials staff. The charity has also provided funds to help set up a Brain Tumour Tissue Bank which will be a significant resource for research into brain cancer in the UK and internationally.
Mr Neil Kitchen, consultant neurosurgeon at NHNN, said:"The Brain Tumour Unit is so much more than a physical space for us to treat patients. It will allow us to create a critical mass of expertise and experience among all the professional groups involved. This concentration of clinical expertise, alongside being the most active centre for clinical trials and leading scientific research into the genetic profiling of tumours, will enable the unit to become a beacon for the treatment of brain cancer in the UK."
Theresa Dauncey, chief executive of The National Brain Appeal, said: "Sadly, unlike most other cancers, the prognosis for brain tumours has changed little over the last century. There is a real and pressing need for more research and investment into understanding and treating brain cancer. It is the most common cancer killer of the under 40s and the biggest cancer killer of children in the UK. It is also the highest of all cancers to be diagnosed at a critical stage with 58 per cent of patients in England presenting as emergencies. We hope the public will continue to donate to this vital work and we urge people to be "brain aware" and note the symptoms. Severe headaches, fits, unexplained numbness, vision, speech or concentration problems could all be signs of a tumour."
Sir Robert Naylor, UCLH chief executive, said: "This is a great milestone in the development of our brain cancer service. We are delighted to work alongside The National Brain Appeal to make a real difference for people with brain cancer."
Patients at the Brain Tumour Unit will also benefit from other recent charity supported investments such as the latest MRI scanning equipment in the hospital's neuroimaging suite and the interventional MRI operating theatre - the BrainSuite neuronavigation system. The BrainSuite provides an angiography, MRI and surgical facility – another UK first and the first in the world for neuro use – and enables real time scanning of the brain and spine during surgery to enable greater accuracy and safer surgery.
The Brain Tumour Unit's oncologists deliver radiotherapy with state of the art equipment including Rapidarc which allows for quicker, more targeted radiotherapy and fewer side effects, as well as IMRT (intensity modulated radiotherapy) and standard radiotherapy. UCLH is also in line to be one of just two centres in the country to provide Proton Beam Therapy which will enable even greater accuracy and reduce damage to surrounding tissues.

Paperback, Published in Dec 2016 by Zed Books
Page count: 256
In the midst of the political upheavals that engulfed Myanmar from 2010 to 2011, international attention was fixed upon the military regime and its dissident opponents. But away from the cameras, a very different set of struggles unfolded across the country, struggles that quietly but effectively transformed the status quo. Taxi drivers transported black market goods so that people could avoid buying from the state. Community organizers started schools. Farmers hid crop surpluses and business owners hid their profits. People brokered and paid bribes to gain favors from local officials. Pathways that Changed Myanmar gives voice to the stories of the ordinary Burmese citizens whose efforts were pivotal to shaping life on the margins of society.
Drawing on extensive fieldwork and hundreds of interviews with citizens across Myanmar, Matthew Mullen challenges the popular caricature of Myanmar as a society governed by fear and silence, and shows how people have been able to endure and effect meaningful change through subtle, everyday acts of resistance.
