text: The Serengeti-North Luangwa Ecosystem Management Project (SLEMP) was a 5-year integrated conservation, development and landscape management initiative jointly implemented by Frankfurt Zoological Society (FZS), with co-financing from the European Commission's Programme on Tropical Forests in Developing Countries. The project piloted the Biodiversity Convention's Ecosystem Approach in two of Africa's outstanding savannah ecosystems, the Serengeti (Tanzania) and North Luangwa (Zambia). Activities focused on establishing inter-sectoral ecosystem cooperation mechanisms and improving understanding of ecosystem processes. LTS provided technical inputs and capacity building into the community conservation components of the Serengeti and North Luangwa Ecosystem Project. It provided project management support, and capacity building of FZS staff and back stopping for the project, particularly with respect to monitoring and evaluation. The project logic was assessed, as was progress on implementation of the project's goals. Training was given on monitoring and evaluation and monitoring and evaluation plans for the Serengeti and North Luangwa components of the project were developed through participatory workshops. Key challenges were identified towards project implementation, particularly over the community conservation component, and recommendations made. Technical review and inputs were made into the design of a project to establish a trust fund mechanism for the Serengeti ecosystem.

To my coworkers who think I'm choking — never fear. I am just laughing hysterically at this snippet. When I first saw this clip of Stains the dog (from the Animal Planet show It's Me or the Dog) Friday night on E!'s "The Soup", I laughed so hard I nearly cried.
I didn't think much about it again (because I regularly laugh at things others don't find so humorous) until today when someone e-mailed me a link … then I saw it posted on Facebook …. and soon discovered it had become more viral than the Dallas Academy basketball story.
You tell me if it's as funny as I think … and either way, you gotta LOVE this sweet animal.

After three months here, I am happy to report that we are loving life and the (almost) daily adventures Oahu provides.
We've survived a tropical storm, a centipede in our bed, hiking with toddlers, and countless trips to the beach.
Though chores still need completing and toddler butts still need wiping, daily life here is vastly more exciting than our lives on the mainland. Some of it has to do with attitude – we try not to waste weekends being lazy, and actively seek out things to do rather than just settling for a walk in the neighborhood – but mostly, we have Hawaii's lush landscape and fabulous climate to thank.
The weather here is as incredible as you've heard it described. Our side of the island (windward side) gets both rain and sunshine every day, and temperatures are in the mid 80s this time of year with an almost constant cool breeze. Winter won't be much different, as temperature only varies by about 6-10 degrees from summer to winter.
Daily Life
Morning starts at 6am as the roosters literally crow outside our window, and Brett gets up for work. Because of the time difference between here and Boston (where his company's main office is located), Brett's morning starts early in order to maximize time zone overlap. Though this may sound inconvenient for Help Scout, Brett's only one of many employees who work remotely and his company has been happy to accommodate his new schedule. And with such an early start time, there is also the a huge perk — Brett gets off work by 3:30 almost every day.
I get up with the kids at around 6:30, and get everyone fed and ready for the day. Brett originally envisioned a quiet workplace, with me spending every morning and afternoon playing with the kids at the beach. Realistically, we spend most mornings at home. I do chores, work with Carter and Pierce on preschool skills, and take a daily trip to our neighborhood pool or playground. After lunch, the kids nap, I try to prep for dinner, and we all wait for Brett to finish work between 3 and 4.
Most evenings, we do one of the following options:
Walk on the beach, usually Lanikai or Kailua (pictured)
Have a "beach sit," as Carter calls it, where the adults sit in beach chairs and the kids play in the sand
Complete a short hike (Lanikai Pillbox and Makapuu are two of our favorite easy hikes)
Explore Makpu'u Beach's tide pools while Brett bodyboards
Or we complete shopping chores, like running to Costco or Target.
As fun as our evenings tend to be, weekends are what make life truly incredible here. Friday nights, after the kids are in bed, we usually plan out the weekend.
Weekend activities:
Wading or kayaking out to Chinaman's Hat (Mokoliʻi) – my personal favorite
Chinaman's Hat is an uninhabited island in Kaneohe Bay, which is about a 15 minute drive from our house. During low tide, you can walk/wade a third of a mile through the ocean to reach the island. The kids and I sit in a big inner tube, and Brett graciously pulls us through the water. My brother Kevin (who is living with us, in case you didn't know) pulls a tube that holds our supplies for the day. When the tide is high, we load up our 3 person kayak and paddle to the island. I hold the boys in the middle, and Brett and Kevin provide manpower.
Once on the island, there are tide pools filled with fish and crabs, gorgeous views of the Koolau Mountains across the bay, a small beach, and rocks to climb. You can also hike/climb to the top of the island. We always pack a lunch and stay until we have to head home for naptime.
Exploring North Shore
Perhaps the biggest change that seasons bring to Hawaii happens on the North Shore. During summer, the water is calm and perfect for snorkeling, swimming, paddle boarding, or kayaking. Once winter comes, it will be a prime surfing location with enormous waves.
Because it takes almost an hour to get there from our place, we try to spend the entire day on the North Shore. There are awesome food trucks, picturesque surf shops and galleries, a paved hike that ends at a waterfall, and multiple beach options.
Summer's calm water has provided us with hours of entertainment at Turtle Bay, Sharks Cove and Three Tables, where we snorkel and wade in shallow water to see fish, crabs, sea urchins, etc. Carter and I especially love going to Laniakea Beach, where large sea turtles lay in the sand to sun themselves, and there are huge lava rocks to climb. We usually end the day by going to Waimea Bay, where you can cliff jump and enjoy a sunset, or by heading to Sunset Beach (name is self explanatory).
Hanauma Bay
Though crowds of tourists are unavoidable here, this bay offers the best snorkeling on the island. The coral attracts schools of tropical fish, and offers hours of water exploration.
Much as I adore the ocean, my favorite thing to do here is hike.
Manoa Falls is a wet, sometimes muddy trail, that leads to a beautiful waterfall. It's not too long, and so long as Carter isn't whining about mud, he can hike most of it on his own.
Lanikai Pillbox is a dry, short hike with stunning views the entire way up.
Diamond Head is well known, not super difficult, but packed with tourists. It rewards hikers with a gorgeous view of downtown Honolulu and the coastline.
Pu'u Ma'eli'eli is a trail we can literally walk to from our house. We only attempt this one if it hasn't rained in awhile, otherwise it's nearly impossible to do with kids because of steep, muddy hills. When it's dry, it makes for a very fun hike with gorgeous views from the top.
Makapu'u is a paved trail that offers one of the best views the island has to offer.
In the future
There are dozens of other hikes still on our to-hike list, but Brett's been dealing with a strained hamstring since we arrived and shorter hikes are better during his recovery.
We also plan to kayak out to a few other small islands, and out to a sandbar that's in our area.
When funds are available, we plan on purchasing a stand up paddle board. We will spend time in calm waters learning how to not fall off of it.
In October, we will be heading to Kauai with Brett's family for our first interisland hop. We will vacation with them there for a week.
****My next blog post will hopefully be Q and A style, with questions from friends and family. If you have any questions for us, post them and I will do my best to include an answer in my next post!***

WINNIPEG - The federal government considered referring its proposed assisted dying law to the Supreme Court to see if it's constitutional, Justice Minister Jody Wilson-Raybould disclosed Friday.
But she said that option was ultimately rejected because the court had indicated it's up to parliamentarians to come up with a legislative response to its landmark ruling last year, which struck down the ban on medical assistance in dying.
Wilson-Raybould suggested that the court would have bounced the matter right back to Parliament.
"To be very honest ... we considered it, but how I feel is that we've been asked by the Supreme Court of Canada to do our job," Wilson-Raybould told delegates at the Liberal party's first convention since taking power last fall.
"If I was to put a reference to the Supreme Court of Canada, I fundamentally believe that our honourable justices would say, 'Do your job'."
Wilson-Raybould and Health Minister Jane Philpott were called on to defend the proposed law at the convention, where some delegates have been pushing for a more permissive approach to assisted dying.
Wendy Robbins, the policy chair of the Liberal women's commission, spear-headed an effort to have the convention debate an emergency resolution calling on the government to drop its insistence that people must be near death to qualify for medical assistance to end their lives.
That provision has been widely panned by civil liberties and legal experts who believe the proposed law does not comply with the Supreme Court's ruling or with the charter of rights.
But the party's national policy committee rejected the resolution late Thursday.
"Is there a mood to prevent this from being discussed? A hundred per cent sure," Robbins said Friday.
"It's like opening a can of worms."
Noting that Prime Minister Justin Trudeau promised a new era of openness and transparency and bottom-up decision-making, Robbins asked: "Why not let people at a forum on policy talk about the most important policy of our generation?"
But Liberal delegates themselves showed little inclination to rock the boat.
A couple of hundred showed up for a panel on social justice issues, which offered an opportunity to grill Wilson-Raybould and Philpott. Only Robbins and one other delegate asked about assisted dying.
By contrast, several thousand delegates showed up for a celebratory speech by Katie Telford, national campaign director and now Trudeau's chief of staff, in which she recounted how the Liberals won the last election.
At the panel, Robbins asked Wilson-Raybould to disclose the legal opinion on which she bases her assertion that the assisted dying bill is constitutional. And she urged the minister to refer it to the top court to test its constitutionality, sparing the families of grievously ill and dying individuals "the agony and expense" of launching a court challenge themselves.
The justice minister acknowledged many people believe the legislation "doesn't go far enough or that it goes too far." She maintained it strikes "the right balance between personal autonomy and ensuring that we protect the vulnerable."
"I'm confident that this approach is justifiable, it's responsible given the time frame that we have in order to respond to the Supreme Court decision," she said.
Bill C-14 would make assisted death available only for clearly consenting adults "in an advanced stage of irreversible decline" from a serious and incurable disease, illness or disability and for whom natural death is "reasonably foreseeable."
That's considerably more restrictive than the criteria set out by the Supreme Court, which ruled that consenting adults with "grievous and irremediable" medical conditions who are enduring suffering that is intolerable to them have the right to seek medical help to end their lives.
Wilson-Raybould and Philpott both insisted there are "significant risks" if the proposed law is not enacted by June 6, the date on which the ban on assisted dying will be formally lifted, in accordance with the court ruling.
They warned there'll be "no significant safeguards" to protect the vulnerable and that doctors will refuse to provide the service in the midst of legal uncertainty.
Neither minister acknowledged that medical regulators in every province have issued guidelines instructing doctors how to proceed with assisted dying. Most include requirements for more than one doctor to agree on eligibility and for witnesses to verify requests for assisted dying; some have imposed conditions more stringent than those proposed by the federal government.
In any event, it seems virtually impossible that the bill will be enacted by June 6, although Dominic LeBlanc, the government House leader, said he hasn't given up hope yet.
He said the bill will be put to a vote at report stage in the House of Commons on Monday and is scheduled for a final vote on Tuesday.
It will then be sent to the Senate, leaving just two sitting days for senators to put the bill through all its legislative stages by June 6. Few senators have shown any inclination to rush the bill and the government has no levers to control the agenda in the more independent upper house.

On January 24, 2010 Joe Feshbach (picture- here with his wife Cindy) published an article on his Instablog at Seeking Alpha, written by his friend, former investment banker and author of the book "Lost Star of Myth and Time"- Walter Cruttenden. An absolute classic for believers in Cytori technology. Joe was one of those believers and after attending the first Cellsociety annual meeting in San Diego in February 2011 decided with his brother Matt and other investors, to put his money where his "believes" were and started to organize the construction of a cardiac clinic on the Bahama´s using Cytori tech- i.e.Celution One. Unfortunately Joe suffered a massive heart attack on August 8 2011 whilst on a biketrip and never could see his plans come to fruition.
On this spring afternoon, the 44-year-old CEO of San Diego- based biotech company Cytori Therapeutics pulls out his laptop, launches a PowerPoint presentation, and there they are: conical and cantaloupy. As through Ds, beige and pink and taupe and tan, more breasts than you might see in a women's locker room, never mind in the middle of a lunch table.
A passing waiter does a double take at this lively slide show, but Calhoun is oblivious. He's talking excitedly about how these women's bodies led him and his team of scientists to a discovery in tissue engineering, a process that could well be one of the most momentous medical advances of the 21st century: the use of stemcells..... specifically stem-cell enriched adipose (fat) tissue—to enhance, heal, and rebuild injured or damaged organs.
Part II- "These things have gone through the ringer in choosing a name," says biomechan-ical engineer Kent Leach of UC Davis, who has used whatever-they-are to treat bone cysts in racehorses. A stem cell, by definition, is able to differentiate into any of the 200-plus kinds of cells in the human body, just as the cells of a days-old embryo can (and do). Cytori's are unlikely to ever show that range of differentiation. But they can differentiate into fat, bone, and muscle -among other tissues—depending on which signaling molecules they are exposed to. In a petri dish, the scientists provide those "this is what you will be when you grow up" molecules. In nature—that is, an embryo in a womb—biology somehow does.
Written by James Anderson
Typically, early-stage biotech companies are considered to have a binary outcome. If successful with the first product that enters clinical trials the company moves on to raise more money through stock sales, enter a partnership with a large pharmaceutical company, or sell the company. In each case, investors do well. However, if the first product fails in its clinical trial, there is a good chance the company will run out of money and fail. Hence, it's binary -- all or nothing.
Stem cell therapies have been garnering significant attention as the field of regenerative medicine starts to evolve. As one would expect, there are a number of start-up biotech companies in the field.

Unpaid HuffPo Bloggers File Class-Action Lawsuit
The Huffington Post's unpaid bloggers now want a chunk of the site's $315 million sale to AOL, and today they're angling for it in the form of a class-action lawsuit.
Led by blogger and union organizer Jonathan Tasini (pictured), the bloggers announced the suit today, Forbes reports. Tasini's name might sound familiar — as in "New York Times Co. vs. Tasini," a lawsuit which sought compensation for freelancers whose Times articles had been included in electronic databases. That case was successful.
Tasini's suit asks for $105 million for the bloggers. Peter Kafka of All Things Digital makes a good point about this effort: How can bloggers who willingly gave HuffPo their work for free now backtrack by claiming that they deserve to be paid?
As someone who makes digital content myself (I'll let you guys judge its quality and engagement levels) I'm sympathetic to this kind of thinking. But only in a tears-in-beers kind of way, not a file-a-suit-in-federal-court kind of way.
Because I don't understand where any of this is illegal. Just (arguably) unpleasant.
HuffPo argued that it was compensating its contributors with exposure. That's always been the deal, and the contributors have already reaped whatever rewards that brings. Beyond that, it's unclear what they can legitimately claim a stake in. Looks like we'll find out soon enough.

However, one topic I cannot find any answers on are the SR20's transmission codes. So my question is, what are the transmission code for the SR20DET 5 & 6 speed boxes? (Like supras have W58, V160, V161etc) And also, while we are at the topic, are the transmissions different from eachother on for instance an early SR20DET and a SR20DE? And another question, what amount of power can they handle unmodified? Thanks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

QuantERA Call 2017 Funded Projects
Controlling EPR and Bell correlations in Bose-Einstein condensates
We bring together researchers on quantum information theory, Bose-Einstein condensates and atom interferometry to create, detect and exploit Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen and Bell entanglement in atomic Bose-Einstein condensates. These represent much stronger forms of entanglement than the non-classical correlations created so far and are largely unexplored.
CMOS Compatible Single Photon Sources based on SiGe Quantum Dots
The efficient generation of quantum states of light is a vital task in Quantum Photonics. Current approaches are bulky and expensive with low generation rates and the few commercial single photon sources are either not compatible with telecoms standards, require cryogenic temperatures or are bulky benchtop devices.
Entangled Rydberg matter for quantum sensing and simulations
Owed to their remarkable properties trapped Rydberg atoms and ions are ideal systems for realizing quantum simulators and sensors. The strong and long-ranged dipolar interactions between Rydberg matter is the basis for entangling gates. The long lifetime of circular Rydberg states leads to long coherence times, enabling gates with high fidelity and quantum simulation over long times. Large transition dipole moments make Rydberg atoms and ions highly sensitive to electric fields, microwave and terahertz radiation.
High dimensional quantum Photonic Platform
Today, photonics is among the very few platforms that can reach very high levels of complexity in quantum communication, computation and sensing. This is made possible by the mobility of photons and the large variety of their controllable degrees of freedom. The quantum optics community has already obtained spectacular achievements, yet using quite inefficient sources and bulk optics, limiting the number of particles involved, the explored Hilbert space dimension and the fidelity of the protocols.
Hyper-entanglement from ultra-bright photon pair sources
We will fabricate and exploit an entirely novel photonic device platform for the generation of highly indistinguishable and entangled photon pairs with near-unity extraction efficiency.
Polariton lattices: a solid-state platform for quantum simulations of correlated and topological states
The development of quantum simulation lacks compact on-chip scalable platforms. The recent demonstrations of polariton lattices in semiconductor microcavities, in combination with their extraordinary nonlinearities, place polaritons as one of the most promising candidates to achieve this goal. The aim of this proposal is to implement polariton lattices in semiconductor microcavities as a photonic-based solid-state platform for quantum simulations.
MICROwave quantum SENSing with diamond color centers
Detection and spectroscopy of weak microwave (>GHz) signals is of pivotal importance for key areas of modern technology, including wireless communication, radar, navigation and medical imaging. Solid state spins could be attractive sensors for both tasks since they have transition frequencies that can be tuned across the 1-100 GHz range. However high-frequency sensing by solid state spins has remained underexplored so far, and most demonstrations of spin sensing have focused on low-frequency (<10MHz) signals.
Spin-based nanolytics – Turning today's quantum technology research frontier into tomorrow's diagnostic devices
Thanks to their unmatched specificity, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and electron spin resonance (ESR) spectroscopy – jointly referred to as spin-based analytics – are tools of major importance in biology, chemistry, medicine and physics because they allow for the use of a spin (nuclear or electron) as an extremely sensitive, nanoscopic quantum probe of its electronic and magnetic environment inside a molecule.

When it comes to Connecticut apple picking venues, Lyman Orchards is the Little Black Dress: you really cannot go wrong. It's not as quaint as Lost Acres or as picturesque at Bushy Hill, but what it lacks in "country kitsch" it more than makes up for in its versatility. Lyman Orchards biggest strength is it's a one-stop shop appeal. They've got apple and pumpkin picking, a corn maze, wagon rides, pony rides, a duck-feeding pond, and a full produce market and bakery.
The Orchard's food offerings can take you from morning coffee all the way to afternoon snack, and the large outdoor patio can seat big groups of people at once. So when you plan to go, go big, and turn your entire day over to them.

Local authorities and the police are being urged to make greater use of the powers they have to tackle anti-social behaviour. The call came from the Home Secretary, David Blunkett who also launched a new awards scheme to recognise people taking action to reduce the problems in their communities.Mr. Blunkett was speaking before the third reading of the Anti-Social Behaviour Bill, which includes new powers that the government believes will make a difference to communities blighted by noisy neighbours, vandals and thugs. He said people expected to live free from fear and it was right that they looked to local agencies to do all they could to protect them.
"Local authorities and the police need to use the powers they have to make sure areas bedeviled by anti-social behaviour are returned to the decent law abiding majority," he said. He promised that the government would play its part and said the new Bill incorporated a series of measures that local agencies had asked for including powers to close down crack houses, widening of the use of Fixed Penalty Notices to tackle noise nuisance, truancy and graffiti and to restrict the use of air weapons.
Mr. Blunkett also launched the Taking a Stand awards which will recognise those who have made a difference in tackling anti-social behaviour in their communities. Anti-social behaviour, he said, could not be tackled by one government department or one agency alone. Everyone had a role to play and that meant people must be prepared to stand up to the yobs and report crimes to police. Parents also had to teach their children right from wrong.
The awards have been developed by the Home Office in partnership with the Co-op Group, the National Neighbourhood Watch Association and Crime Concern. The scheme will be targeted at individuals and local groups who have taken action against anti- social behaviour. Up to 30 awards of a thousand pounds each will be made across England and Wales, with a prize of five thousand pounds for the overall winner. The money should be spent on supporting the schemes to further tackle anti-social behaviour. The awards will be given in November.

Here's one more reason for news organizations to focus on their mobile web sites: according to a new report from the Pew Internet and American Life Project, one fourth of U.S. smartphone owners use their phone for most of their online browsing…
On smartphones, users can often access similar content via a publisher's web site and via platform-specific apps. However, the Pew report did not refer to apps as a channel for "online browsing," so that statistic probably refers just to mobile web access via smartphones, not app use.
Pew also estimated that 35% of US adults currently own a smartphone—similar to comScore's latest estimate that 33% of Americans 13 and over own a smartphone.
Pew also noted that 83% of US adults own a cell phone of any kind—which means that simpler, cheaper feature phones still are the most popular type of mobile device, used by about half of U.S. adults.
Other highlights from Pew's smartphone report:
- Affluence. 59% of U.S. adults from households earning $75,000/year or more own smartphones; but only 22% of people with household annual income under $30,000 own smartphones.
- Education. 48% of U.S. adults with a college degree own smartphones, compared to 18% of people with no high school diploma.
- Gender. 39% of smartphone owners are male; 31% female.
- Age. "Smartphone ownership is highest among Americans in their mid-twenties through mid-thirties, as fully 58% of 25-34 year olds own a smartphone."
- Ethnicity. 44% each of African Americans and Latinos own smartphones; compared to only 30% of whites.
Pew offered more insight on mobile internet access:
"Even among smartphone owners who use their phone as their main source of internet access, computer (i.e. laptop or desktop) ownership is quite prevalent. Indeed, fully 84% of these individuals also have a desktop or laptop computer at home.
"At the same time, a notably smaller number have access to high-speed internet service, as just over two-thirds of these users (68%) have broadband at home. This is slightly above the national broadband average (61% of all adults are broadband adopters), but still means that 32% of these 'cell mostly' internet users lack traditional high-speed home access—even though they may go online from other locations outside of the home.
"...Usage of smartphones as a primary internet access device is highest among several groups with relatively low rates of traditional internet and broadband adoption—for example, those with no college experience as well as those with relatively low income levels."

Now this is a race you won't see everyday: a Bugatti Veyron Vitesse versus a Lamborghini Aventador and BMW S1000RR. The idea was to see which of the three vehicles is the fastest in a straight line.
In terms of raw horsepower, this race would be 1,200 horsepower versus 700 horsepower versus 193 horsepower, so it appears that the Veyron has the biggest advantage. As we always say, horsepower doesn't mean everything...
In terms of performance figures, the Veyron can hit a top speed of 255 mph and goes from 0 to 60 mph in 2.6 seconds, the Aventador up to 217 mph and sprints from 0 to 60 mph in 2.9 seconds, while the S1000RR can hit a top speed of over 125 mph, per BMW. So, which one will be better on the race? Check out the video to find out!

[This is a guest post by the ever-awesome cpaxton.]
The implementation and maintenance of a LAMP stack server (Linux, Apache, MySQL, and PHP), requires a broad base of computer knowledge. This includes some basic coding, database management, hardware, networking, DNS, cyber security, and SMTP knowledge. While very few of us are masters in any one of these fields, and there are exceptions, we have more passing knowledge than the laity. That is to say, unless you are an ace developer, database admin, computer scientist, networking administrator/work for an ISP, white/black hat hacker, or understand the entirety of the postgres and exim documentation plus a large amount about the major email providers like Microsoft and Gmail, fucking listen to your system admin.
Does this mean we make mistakes? of course we do. We are again experts in none of the above, but we have poked at them all in at least a cursory manner.
Generally, we are willing to admit our faults; if you say something isn't working we will try and give you the answer and if that doesn't work, we will keep looking to see what we may have missed. However, that is not an excuse to not listen to what we say.
When we tell you something is in relation to your code, look over your code. For example, while PHP memory limits can be configured by the server in a php.ini or a .user.ini, it can also be configured directly in the code which system admins will generally not touch.
Well why not? You said you have some basic coding skills earlier?
Why? Because we have basic coding skills. We know that as soon as we touch your code, there could be any number of issues. For those of you who don't know, code is a complex system of telling the computer what you want it to do. Sometimes jimmying a piece of the code breaks nothing and will allow the entire system to work the way you want it. Other times this breaks every part of the code and causes more issues than any of us want. Not to mention, as we are not experts, we are not doing this to any sort of standard. An expert who looks at anything we edit may be confused as all hell and cause more work (i.e. more time/money spent to get it fixed) or worse break alterations that they need to make (even more time/money).
Other instances you should listen to your system admin? Whenever we tell you something.
When we tell you that this hacking is beyond our skills and you should hire someone with experience to review your website/server, do it. We can certainly help you with the basics and hell sometimes even find the exact POST request that started the hack. What we cannot always do is figure out how they are exactly getting into the server, what exploits they are utilizing, and how to prevent it from happening again. We can tell you the best thing to do, besides hiring an expert, is to keep everything up to date and make sure you use strong passwords.
Oh for the love of God please do not make passwords with "password" or "pass" or "mynameis" or anything else with only one case, no numbers, no special symbols and from the dictionary. These sorts of things break my heart and your bank account. For example, and while I don't remember the exact password, I have seen something analogous to password123 as the ROOT PASSWORD to the server. This is the biggest "oh dear god you are fucked" thing there is, besides actually confirming you have been rooted.
So when we tell you to do something please do. Don't argue with us unless you are an expert in the profession (have been doing the specific thing for more than 4 years). Then if you are, point out what we are missing, we will generally be happy to see where we made an error and would like to add that knowledge to our understanding.

Dear Friends:
This is the other Holiday message I wanted to send you.
What is with these squirrels? They steal bird food from feeders and now they are on the most wanted list for destroying Christmas – Lights that is!
They either eat through the wires or steal the bulbs. Either way, they are grinches, well maybe not mean-spirited, but certainly mischievous.
There are websites and blogs with hints and suggestions how to deter the little guys (a woman would never do this, they get their exercise chasing little ones!). There are squirrel-proof lights and other things to keep them away.
There are even theories as to why they do it (psychoanalysis for squirrels?).
They have wreaked havoc on the large tree in Boston and the Cincinnati Zoo. No news that they have moved into Canada. We only have polite squirrels! They offer at least a "sorry" as they make off with your lights.
Click here: The Bulb Bandit
Happy Holidays
Much Love
Linda Klimack
P.S. This is my new excuse for why I don't put up lights – the squirrels might harm themselves. Although a few of my neighbours might put up extra strings for this same reason!
P.P.S. Maybe they are reacting to us stringing up lights in their home!
P.P.P.S. Does Olivio have a new career? Or is this his evil cousins again?

When an unusually high number of people with serious eye injuries showed up at an emergency department one morning, health officials started an investigation to find out what had gone wrong the night before at the Florida nightclub that the injured people all reported visiting.
After checking with the neighboring hospitals, researchers found and examined 56 people who had developed eye problems after attending the club's "foam party" (in which blowers on the ceiling spray soapy foam down onto a dancing crowd) with about 300 other attendees in Naples, Fla., according to the report published today (Aug. 22) by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
As a result of the party, held in May 2012, about 80 percent of those with injuries had reduced vision and inflammation of the eye, or conjunctivitis. Half of patients had abrasions of the cornea, meaning the clear tissue covering the eye was scratched or cut.
Almost all patients reported severe pain in the eyes, eye irritation and redness. Eleven patients could not open an eye, or read the first letter of the vision chart. [ 9 Oddest Medical Cases ]
The products used to produce foam at foam parties contain ingredients similar to those found in soaps and shampoos, such as sodium lauryl sulfate, the researchers said. However, some of the other chemicals used in the products are proprietary, and their compositions and concentrations are unknown, the researchers said.
All patients reported getting foam in their face, and said they rubbed their eyes after exposure to the foam.
The incident "highlights the range and potential seriousness of eye injuries that can result from exposure to foam," the researchers said.
People had eye problems for seven days on average, but for seven patients, the symptoms had not completely resolved more than one month after the injury, the researchers said.

Lucy Mecklenburgh rules out TOWIE return
- Bang Showbiz
- 1 July 2017
Lucy Mecklenburgh won't be re-joining 'The Only Way is Essex' in the future
Lucy Mecklenburgh won't return to 'The Only Way is Essex'.
The 25-year-old reality star quit the fly-on-the-wall show in 2013 after three years and though she still has fond memories of her stint on the programme, she insists it is a part of her life that is now over.
Asked if she'd ever go back, she said: "Probably not. I love the show and it was a massive part of my life, but I don't see myself going back. That chapter of my life has closed now."
Since leaving the show, Lucy has reinvented herself as a fitness expert and she admits she was inspired to overhaul her lifestyle after seeing some unflattering holiday photos.
She reca;;ed: "I exercised a lot when I was younger - at school I was really into sports and dance and stuff - but then I didn't do anyting for years.
"Then, I remember going on holiday to Mexico about four or five years ago and I was papped.
"I wasn't particularly big but I wasn't in shape. I had no muscle definition and cellulite.
"I just felt a bit disgusting. At the time, I was eating doughnuts for breakfast. I knew when I got home, I needed to make a change.
"My face was quite puffy because I was drinking a lot of alcohol while filming 'TOWIE'. But it wasn't even the way I looked.
"I just felt like I didn't have any energy in the morning. I didn't feel great about myself and I knew I needed to do something about it."
Lucy still receives criticism about her figure on social media, but she's learned to ignore the cruel comments.
She told heat magazine: "I'm definitely more tolerant to it but it's still hurtful.
"You're never going to win - people tell me I'm too fat, and people tell me I'm too thin. But no one is perfect - what even is perfect? You just have to let it go over your head."

Programme Details
Current & Future EDE Programmes
What is an EDE (Ecovillage Design Education programme)?
Ecovillage Design Education programmes, often referred to as 'EDEs', take place in more than 48 countries in settings ranging from tribal and traditional communities to intentional ecovillages, from urban slum to universities and training centres. The duration of these programmes are around 125 hours over a full month, although this may vary slightly depending on where and when they are taken. The EDEs provide students of all ages with the knowledge and practical skills on how to design a society which uses energy and materials with greater efficiency, distributes wealth fairly and strives to eliminate the concept of waste.
How to run an EDE
Several of our EDE graduates have carried on organising EDE programmes in their local areas, and you are warmly encouraged to do so after completing your course.
The recommended time frame of an EDE is four weeks, however this is not fixed and varies with each individual programme.
The material can be condensed into smaller workshops, spread out over a longer period, or distributed in blocks at different times and locations.

Facts and Events
Confusion with Shawnee leader Blujacket
Little is known of Blue Jacket's early life. He first appears in written historical records in 1773, when he was already a grown man and a war chief. In that year, a British missionary visited the Shawnee villages on the Scioto River and recorded the location of Blue Jacket's Town on Deer Creek (present Ross County, Ohio). Later a story spread that he was in fact a European settler named Marmaduke Van Swearingen, who had been captured and adopted by Shawnees in the 1770s, around the time of the American Revolutionary War. This story, popularized in historical novels written by Allan W. Eckert in the late 1960s, remains well known in Ohio, where an outdoor drama celebrating the life of the white Indian chief was performed yearly in Xenia, Ohio from 1981 until 2007. Despite the persistence of this tale, many have questioned its authenticity. Historians such as Reginald Horsman, Helen Hornbeck Tanner, and Blue Jacket biographer John Sugden have argued that the known historical facts about Blue Jacket and Van Swearingen make it unlikely that they were the same person. The historical record indicates that Blue Jacket was much older than Marmaduke Van Swearingen and was already an established chief by the time that Van Swearingen was supposedly captured. Furthermore, no one who personally knew Blue Jacket left any records referring to him as a white man. According to Sugden, Blue Jacket was undoubtedly a Shawnee by birth. DNA testing of the descendants of Blue Jacket and Van Swearingen has given additional support to the argument that Blue Jacket was not Van Swearingen. After an initial test in 2000, results of a DNA test using updated equipment and techniques was published in the September 2006 edition of The Ohio Journal of Science.[2] The researchers tested DNA samples from four men descended from Charles Swearingen, Blue Jacket's supposed brother, and six who are descended from Blue Jacket's son George Blue-Jacket. The DNA from the two families did not match, and so the study concluded that the famous Shawnee war chief was in fact a Native American and that the popular story surrounding his relatedness to Dutch settlers is without merit. Read Bluejacket's Wikipedia entry for updates on research on the Swearingen/Bluejacket confusion.

I was doing some research at the public library the other day, paging through LIFE magazines from 1970. Ecology — as in acid rain, etc. — was an issue of great public concern at the time, with predictions that within a decade people would be wearing gas masks to survive pollution. Even more urgent, though, was "population pollution."
I remember this, of course, and know that my generation was profoundly shaped by it. But I had forgotten the details, and now I saw them again. A biologist saying, for example, "Each American baby represents 50 times as great a threat to the planet as each Indian baby." Continue reading

I don't beat my kids. I rarely even spank them. But the idea behind the phrase "beat the Devil out of a child" deserves some thought. (Note: I don't mean to put down parents who do use corporal punishment; each child is different and what works for one may not work for another. I think my kids sometimes wished we would just spank them a few times instead of blocking texting, taking away tv/internet/video games, limiting time with friends, assigning tasks and other such things.)
I am a father. I'd like to think I'm a good father. And I find myself in a situation (along with every other parent) where my kids do not simply choose to do the right thing. It doesn't matter if I lecture them about wise, ethical, or empathetic behavior. Modeling wise, ethical, or empathetic behavior does not seem to have much of an impact either. If it seems fun, exciting, pleasurable, or just not as much work in the moment that is the thing they want to do. It doesn't matter if it hurts them in the long run. It doesn't matter if it hurts others as long as (in their minds) it benefits them more than the guilt hurts. They are inherently selfish and short-sighted. Any honest parent will tell you that kids are generally that way.
So how do I, as a loving parent, respond to my children's selfish and short-sighted behavior? With discipline. Now, don't get me wrong I do educate my children by direct instruction, modeling, allowing them to learn from experience, and even VR training ("how would you feel if…"). But we are broken people, myself and my children. Simply knowing what is good will not lead us to doing good. Hence the need for consequences that are more immediate, onerous in the present, and hopefully memorable. And hopefully those more immediate, immediately onerous, and memorable consequences will result in the person not having to experience the more serious consequences later of poor relationships, bad jobs, legal troubles, etc. that tend to be life-long and passed down to the next generation.
I suppose drugs would be easier. I'm sure there are drugs out there that make people more calm and compliant. Turn them into little "Stepford" children. But I don't want different children. I don't want drugged up robots. I want my kids to learn to be good and responsible and how to discipline themselves.
One of the kids asked me about punishments (when he was trying to get out of one) and wasn't that just revenge, (which we teach our children is wrong). That is a really good question.
In both cases it seems to be "you did this thing I did not like, so I will do this thing you won't like to you." And in many cases, discipline does stray into the territory of revenge. But I believe the main difference between discipline and revenge is the intent of the person meting it out. What is the intention of the parent? If my intent is simply "I am mad at and I want to make you suffer for it," then, yes, it is revenge. But if my intent is "what you did was wrong and you need to learn to associate unpleasantness with it, the next time an opportunity presents itself you will think 'I don't want punishment to happen to me' and you will stop yourself (teaching yourself to discipline yourself), and (if I'm really successful) I want you to empathize with the other party" then it is discipline.
I am reminded of something the writer of Hebrews penned: "My son, do not make light of the Lord's discipline, and do not lose heart when he rebukes you, because the Lord disciplines the one he loves, and he chastens everyone he accepts as his son." Endure hardship as discipline; God is treating you as his children. For what children are not disciplined by their father? If you are not disciplined—and everyone undergoes discipline—then you are not legitimate, not true sons and daughters at all. Moreover, we have all had human fathers who disciplined us and we respected them for it. How much more should we submit to the Father of spirits and live! They disciplined us for a little while as they thought best; but God disciplines us for our good, in order that we may share in his holiness. No discipline seems pleasant at the time, but painful. Later on, however, it produces a harvest of righteousness and peace for those who have been trained by it."
When I am talking about discipline, I am just talking about behaviors that will make them good members of society and, as my wife and I are Christians, there is also an emphasis on behaviors that Christians should be exhibiting. The end result of those is hopefully a functioning adult with the inner tools to manage him or herself and in a way that is morally upright. One cannot discipline a child into becoming a Christian. Being a Christian is not simply following rules. It is a matter of the heart and God's power. Ultimately I do hope for my children to fall in love with Jesus, put their hope and faith on him, and experience his power in their lives. I believe that is what they were created for and will find most satisfying in life and that is how one truly lives. But no amount of time outs, sorry letters, rewards of Chuck E Cheese, etc. will change a heart like that.
I am nothing like Major Payne. I hate disciplining my children. Despite what they may tell you. And I'm not always consistent. I really don't want to have to ask if they did their homework and to show it to me and to check the school's website to make sure they showed me all of it. I really don't want to go through mp3 players looking for Lil Wayne and other trash. I really don't want to play detective to figure out who hit who or who ate whose Doritos. And I really don't want to put this one in time out for so long and take away that one's video games for so long. I'd really rather just enjoy dinner together, play UNO, yell at the Eagles or Barcelona on tv, talk about what happened at work or school, read a book while they play with friends in the other room, etc. And I can do that, but if I really love my children more than my own temporary comfort and desire for harmony, I will also discipline them. And the attitude and the heart behind that discipline matter if I am to be a parent rather than just an angry tyrant.

Proverbs 1:20. Wisdom crieth without (calls aloud in the street); she uttereth (raises) her voice in the streets (plazas).
Greetings and salutations this glorious Thursday morning in the springtime of our lives my faithful brethren! (smile) Awright, so some of us might have already passed our best by date, but that doesn't mean we have to be thrown away. In fact we are the kind of people the Lord finds much use for when the world is no longer interested in us. He uses the poor, the elderly, the broken hearted, the humble to do great things in His name.
So though we are actually in the winter of our days, we ought not to give up hope and stop trying to do productive stuff. And saying that, here is some encouragement from Gramps Schuller (Dr. Robert H. Schuller) from His Hour of Power Devotional as he talks about being in the valley of the shadow.
He says: 'Peace comes to the person who feels the presence of God…. Don't trust the clouds – trust the sunshine. Don't set your compass by the flash of lightning – set it by the stars. Trust the sun – don't trust the shadow. Believe in your dreams – don't believe in your despairing thoughts. Have faith in your faith – and doubt your doubts. Trust in your hopes – never trust in your hurts.' Amen friends, Amen!
And I believe that's useful not only for the ole fogies, but also for the young uns. The sooner they learn that kind of stuff, the more productive and godly lives they will live. But ALL of us need to pay serious attention to that woman of all women; WISDOM, for without her we are completely lost.
As Cousin Sol says in Proverbs: 'Wisdom crieth without (calls aloud in the street); she uttereth (raises) her voice in the streets (plazas). She crieth in the chief place of concourse (concourses), in the openings of the gates: in the city she uttereth her words, saying, How long, ye simple (naïve) ones, will ye LOVE naiveté? And the scorners delight in their scorning, and fools hate knowledge?' (Prov.1:20-22)
Ah mih people, those words are ever so true in these tumultuous times, as real wisdom, that of God, is being trampled down by the falsehood that the world purveys as wisdom. And too many of us, Christians included, are foolishly following that supposed wisdom the world perpetrates. However we need to desperately understand that TRUE wisdom comes ONLY from God; from His word, His statues and His commandments.
As Gramps Schuller says in the passage above: 'have faith in your faith.' Otherwise, what's the purpose of having a faith, if you don't have faith in it eh? None whatsoever!
And the scholars offer this explanation. '1:20-33. Wisdom is personified here as a prophetess calling in public places to everyone to come to her and learn. Three groups are especially singled out in the appeal: 'the simple ones, or untaught; the scorners or scoffers; and the fools, or morally dull (v.22). The consequences of rejecting wisdom are immense (vs.26-28).'
And sadly my brethren, in this supposedly wise society, there seems to be way more of those three groups who are not interested in true wisdom, than those of us who are. But true and godly wisdom keeps crying out: 'Turn you at my reproof: behold, I will pour out my spirit unto you, I will make known my words unto you.' (Prov.1:23)
Yes friends, the wisdom of God is crying out for us to turn back from our sinful, worldly ways and embrace His LOVING-kindness, for that's the only wise and sensible option open to us. But we don't seem to be paying any serious attention to His call.
Thus wisdom continues: 'Because I have called, and ye refused; I have stretched out my hand, and no man regarded; But ye have set at nought (disdained) all my counsel, and would (have) none of my reproof: I also will laugh at your calamity; I will mock when your fear (terror) cometh.
When your fear (terror) cometh as desolation (a storm), and your destruction cometh as a whirlwind; when distress and anguish cometh upon you. Then shall they call upon me, but I will not answer; they shall seek me early (diligently), but they shall not find me: For that they hated knowledge, and did not choose the fear of the Lord.
They would (have) none of my counsel: they despised all my reproof. Therefore shall they eat of the fruit of their own way, and be filled with their own devices. For the turning away (waywardness) of the simple shall slay them, and prosperity (complacency) of fools shall destroy them.' (Prov.1:24-32)
Ah mih people, yuh see the serious consequences involved in rejecting the wisdom of God! And that's exactly what's happening in our society today; we are being slain by our waywardness and disobedience, and our complacency is destroying us.
But it's not too late to call out to wisdom friends. Please, let's be wise and do so nuh, that our children and us can benefit from it. 'But whoso hearkeneth unto me shall dwell safely, and shall be quiet (secure, or at ease) from fear of evil.' (Prov.1:33)
And accompanying that peace of mind will be numerous benefits, like those enshrined in our Thursday Blessings. Let's declare them out now, loud and proud, so that the unbelievers can see what to expect when they wholly embrace the wisdom and ways of Jesus.
'I declare that I am blessed with God's supernatural wisdom and receive clear direction for my life! I declare today that I am blessed with creativity, courage, talent and abundance! I am blessed with a strong will, self-control and self-discipline! I am blessed with a great family, good friends, good health, faith, favour and fulfillment!
I am blessed with success, supernatural strength, promotion and divine protection! I am blessed with a compassionate heart and a positive outlook on life! I declare that any curse or negative word that's ever been spoken over me is broken right now in the name of Jesus! I declare that everything I put my hands to will prosper and succeed! I declare it today and everyday! Amen!'
Now let's go out and share some of those many blessings as Jesus intends for us to do. Much LOVE!
…blessings only come with obedience…which is a by-product of wisdom…

An effective inventory system is an indispensable component of any retail or manufacturing operation. The primary purpose of a retail inventory system is to accurately maintain a physical count of products, supplies, and materials stored in a warehouse or storeroom. Once established, an inventory system can be used to control and maintain the stored goods, ensuring that inventory is not lost to spoilage or theft.
Part 1 of 4:
Developing the Storage System to Facilitate Counting
1Organize the products being inventoried with the counters in mind. The effectiveness of an inventory system is heavily dependent on the accuracy with which the items being inventoried are counted. Inaccurate counting of products or merchandise often causes discrepancies in accounting, sales tracking, over-ordering and over-production, among other issues. An inefficient storage system also will significantly affect the cost of tracking inventory by increasing the amount of time taken to complete the process.
- Focus on making your inventory easy to access, separate, and count. Work on providing visibility, ease of labeling, and simple organization so that your counters can quickly access each item.
2Consider storage requirements. Calculate the physical dimensions need to store your inventory. This could be an entire warehouse or a small closet, depending on the size of your products or materials and your sales volume. You should also consider any special conditions required for storage, like temperature or moisture control.
- There may also be state or federal laws dictating how you are required to store certain types of inventory, particularly for dangerous or controlled items.
3Design storage shelves to provide a clear line of sight to each item. Arrange the products being stored so that those responsible for taking inventory can easily access and count each individual item. Label everything so that it can be easily recognized and inventory can be placed in the proper area.
- Choose and set up storage shelves and bins depending on the type of inventory you will be storing in them. Consider the required size, height, and special attributes of the bins or shelves when choosing yours.
- For example, think about how heavy a shelf full of your inventory will be and choose a shelving system that meets or exceeds that weight requirement.
- Keep in mind that inventory kept on store shelves must also be counted in an inventory system.
- You can also use slotting to improve ease of use. Slotting refers to the placement of inventory in an efficient manner. For example, items that are typically shipped together might be placed close to one another in the warehouse.
- In addition, inventory should be set up such that the inventory with the highest turnover is the most accessible. Slotting should be planned from the start and then revised over time to account for new items and changes in demand or operations. Ideally, slotting should be rethought weekly or even daily.
- You should also consider getting rid of infrequently-sold and obsolete items as fast as possible. The odds that they will sell are low and many times these items are costing you more to store than they will bring in.[1] X Research source
4Consider a barcode system. If you have a large amount of inventory, you will need some way to track your inventory without referring to each item by name. The simplest way to do so is through a barcode system. Obtain a scanner that you can use to scan your inventory in and out and to perform inventory counts. However, if you have very few items or types of items, you may be able to use a simple visual system. You can then switch to a barcode system if your visual system becomes overly time-consuming or inaccurate.
- Make sure that the scanner is designed for your environment. For example, a hospital might need scanners that can be sterilized.
- You will also need a barcode printer to label shelves or spaces where the item with that barcode is stored.
- If you run a small operation, you may also choose to simply download an app that allows your employees' mobile phones to be turned into scanners.[2] X Research source
5Format an inventory spreadsheet to serve as a master record of each inventory taken. Open a spreadsheet in a program like Excel, Pages, or Google Sheets to get started. Build out your categories using columns in a spreadsheet, listing your inventory items down the page in rows. An effective inventory system should include the following column heading categories:
- Use a column titled "Date of Count" to record the present date.
- Use the "Previous Quantity" column to record the quantity of this item from the last count.
- Use the "Quantity on Hand" column to record the total counts for each item.
- Include a unit of measure.
- Use the "Product Description" column to provide a description of the item(s) being counted.
- Use the "Build-To" column to represent the amount of items required on hand to meet projected demand.
- Use the "Amount Sold" column to represent the amount of items sold during the prior period.
- Use the "Cost of Sales Percentage" column to represent the cost of each item as a percentage of the cost of total sales.
- Use the "Amount to Produce or Reorder" column to automatically produce the number of items to purchase or produce to meet the demand of the next sales period.[3] X Research source
- You can also use accounting software such as Quickbooks or Peachtree to manage your inventory levels.[4] X Research source
Part 2 of 4:
Reconciling Physical Inventory to Book Inventory
1Enter the data for each category in the appropriate columns in the spreadsheet. Subtract the amount sold from the amount ordered to establish the "build-to." Then subtract the amount on hand from the amount of the "build-to" to determine the correct amount to adjust the inventory for the coming period. Don't forget to enter data for all types of inventory items, including raw materials and components.[5] X Research source
2Adjust data for inventory shrinkage. Inventory shrinkage simply means inventory losses during regular business operations. Inventory may be lost due to theft, obsolescence, spoilage, or damage. Inventory shrinkage will account for the difference between a physical inventory count and the inventory count last recorded in the books. If you recognize any shrinkage before taking inventory, be sure to record it in your inventory spreadsheet immediately.[6] X Research source
3Separate inventory and administrative duties. Inventory management will require both physical inventory management like inventory counting and movement and administrative duties like the filing of the proper related paperwork and accounting. In large companies, these process will likely be handled by separate departments or teams. However, even in the smallest businesses, you should have a different person to handle each side. This reduces the risk of theft.[7] X Research sourceAdvertisement
Part 3 of 4:
Taking Inventory at Regular Intervals
1Train your inventory workers. The people working on your inventory and inventory systems are the most critical aspect of your inventory system. If they are untrained or unsure of who is supposed to perform an action, your inventory management efficiency and accuracy will suffer. Train your employees on every aspect of the inventory management process, including what is to be done at each point, who needs to do it, and how it should be documented. If necessary, write down these policies so that the employees can refer to a guide. This will help to prevent frustration and inventory mismanagement.[8] X Research source
2Perform inventory counts daily, weekly or monthly. The frequency with which inventory is taken will have a significant influence on the accuracy of an inventory system. Regardless of the type of operation, however, some types of operations will require more regular inventory intervals than others. For example, an auto dealership will not necessarily require the same frequency of inventory intervals as a department store or food-service operation.[9] X Research source
- Focus on the most critical items first. Split up your items into three categories based on how frequently they sell.
- For example, try setting your high priority items as those items that make up 80 percent of your sales. Then, you can create medium priority and low priority categories for items sold less frequently.
- Once you have done so, you can focus the vast majority of your effort on your high priority items. This effort includes counting, forecasting sales, and reordering.
- Once this is done, you can use excess time for your medium and low priority items. Doing so will save you from wasting time on low-performing items.[10] X Research source
3Have two counters take inventory counts. This can significantly reduce the amount of human error when taking physical counts of inventoried items. Print out paper inventory sheets that correspond to the master record for use in taking the physical inventory.
- Have one individual perform the physical count by calling out the numbers aloud.
- The other counter will enter the numbers into the appropriate field in the master inventory spreadsheet as they are called.
- However, this doesn't necessarily have to be done at the same time. Inventory can simply be taken twice by different individuals.
- The figures can then be compared to ensure the accuracy of the inventory taken.[11] X Research source
Part 4 of 4:
Improving Inventory Management
1Analyze inventory data. You can improve your inventory management by analyzing inventory information. Specifically, you can work to understand how much inventory you need to be carrying at a certain time and when you should order more. Start by calculating your daily cost of goods sold by dividing your annual or quarterly cost of goods sold by the number of days you were open during that time. Then, divide your current inventory value by this amount. The result is your average inventory investment period.
- This figure represents how long it takes for your purchased inventory to be converted into sales, on average.
- You can then work to reduce this figure by ordering a smaller amount of inventory or working to get quicker payments from customers.
- You can also find your inventory to sales ratio by dividing your inventory value by your sales for the month. Track this value over time to see if it is increasing or decreasing.
- An increasing inventory to sales ratio means that you are purchasing too much inventory, while a decreasing one means that you should purchase more.[12] X Research source
2Optimize your inventory levels. Inventory levels must be managed effectively and kept at the correct level in order to maximize profit and reduce loss. Holding too much inventory increases the risk of obsolescence, damage, and spoilage while not keeping enough means lost sales opportunities. To optimize your inventory, start with sales projections based on previous periods. Then, adjust for trends and seasonality. For example, if you experience more sales in the fall than the rest of the year, you might want to adjust your inventory up for these months.[13] X Research source
3Implement inventory management software. While using an inventory spreadsheet might work for a small business, any sort of large or high-volume enterprise will need a dedicated inventory management software. These programs allow you to manage inventory, orders, and other data while providing useful analytics and tracking. Ideally, your system can integrate with your other business software to create a unified system and automate some of your operations.
- Research inventory management software packages online to find one that fits your needs. Popular providers include Oracle and SAP.[14] X Research source
- Your choice of software will depend on your specific needs (volume, type of inventory, etc.), your budget, and your conversion time (how much time you can spare to implement a new technology).[15] X Research source
4Make efforts to reduce loss. Inventory shrinkage is typically small but can end up accounting for a substantial loss if not systematically reduced. Work to prevent theft by upping the security around your warehouse or storage areas. Reduce theft in your store by installing a camera system and keeping on eye on suspicious customers. You can also set up an alarm system that responds to the labels or RFID tags on your items.
- Reduce potential theft by employees by restricting access to product areas to those who absolutely need to be there.
- Reduce spoilage losses by staying on top of your inventory count practices. Remember to cycle older stock forward when shelving inventory.[16] X Research source

About This Article
Developing an inventory system is a great way to keep track of your products and determine what you need to stock up on. For small inventories, you'll be OK recording it by hand, but for large inventories, you can save time by using a barcode scanner. Keep a spreadsheet of your inventory with columns for the date, the previous inventory count, the current quantity you have on hand, and the percentage for the cost of sales. Record any missing inventory as shrinkage to keep your data accurate. Don't forget to count your stock regularly, whether that's daily, weekly, or monthly. You can also have a second employee record the inventory to reduce the chance of human error. For more tips from our Financial co-author, including how to choose an inventory management software package, read on!

I have an old Bar Book of cocktail recipes that is either gonna break me or bury me. I mean really...who needs 10 bottles of bitters. But when a recipe calls for simple syrup... I move on. I don't care how simple it is - - I'm not cooking sugar. I suppose that doesn't make me a good barman.
What I am getting a feel for are the simple concoctions I've never heard of. Take the 'Norteamericano.' The recipe is up there. Tequila and Manzanilla Sherry stirred (I haven't tried shaking it yet) and served in a Martini glass with an olive. Now, I do have a favorite olive but for this drink I recommend a big green olive with the stem still attached. We've covered Manzanilla before but I've never mixed it. Sure as hell not with Tequila - - I'm a fan.
There's a 'dryness' best compared to gin but with a rounded depth - - not nearly as sharp but with a very long finish. Probably the Manzanilla doing it's job. The measurements up there will give you a small puddle in today's oversized Martini glass but that's okay. Keep it small because you don't want this drink getting warm on you.
Old Bar Books and Braces. I couldn't kick my ass outta 1986 if I tried. I still wear them. I heard someone opine that a man should match his shoe color to the leather tabs of his braces. The tabs on these braces are grey. I always wondered where a man could find grey shoes ... other than Philadelphia. Never believe people who tell you what to wear. Including me. These are Trafalgar braces. Purchased at Paul Stuart. I've mentioned before Paul Stuart cuts the Trafalgar tag off the braces they sell. I'm surprised Trafalgar lets them do it.
I still love them. Almost like wearing art. And best kept under the jacket. Nothing worse than a man showing off his braces. Norteamericano or not. The president of the local PBS station here in NYC shows off his braces ala Larry King. Never ask me to contribute money if you're wearing braces without a suit jacket. It sends a very bad message. But if I'm on my third Norteamericano -- it really doesn't matter.
