Once a Jolly Hangman
Author(s): Alan Shadrake
Singapore has one of the highest execution rates per capita in the world. Its government claims that only the death penalty can deter drug dealers from using their country as a transport hub - but this hard-hitting investigation reveals disturbing truths about how and when the death penalty is applied. Including in-depth interviews with Darshan Singh-Singapore's chief executioner for nearly fifty years - and chilling accounts of high-profile cases, including the execution of Australian Nguyen Van Tuong, this is an horrific expose of the gross abuse of human rights. When this book was first published in Asia in July 2010, UK journalist Alan Shadrake was arrested and tried, then sentenced to jail - for daring to put the Singapore justice system in the dock. This revised and updated edition covers Shadrake's arrest, and his ongoing campaign against the death penalty as he prepares for his appeal.

I began my journey with Young Living in the Summer of 2016. I had just started a new chapter of my nursing career – Oncology. My new job is something I LOVE, but it has very real emotional and mental stressors.
I had also started to notice that the cleaners I used in my home were caustic and had a pungent odor that permeated the air – some even made my husband ill.
Being the mother of three beautiful girls, I started putting things together – the cancer I was seeing on a regular basis, many types thought to be from exposure to environmental toxins – my husband's reactions to cleaners, stress of my new job, and the health of my beautiful family.
A friend at work mentioned her sister used Young Living products in her home and as support in a healthy lifestyle – and I bought the Premium Starter Kit. And this began my oily love story – I have replaced all candles with diffusers, and my husband has a much easier time breathing! ♥
We now solely use Thieves cleaner in our home -and it even works with really hard water! And my children even ask for oils first when they are having an issue ♥
My oily group of friends are so supportive and education oriented, we have frequent online classes and meetings, as well as free website hosting and a searchable product education group! I have become an "oily" woman surrounded by friends making small changes to make our homes a better place to LIVE!
Start your oily adventure with myself and the Oily Gurus clan and soon you will be saying "I have an oil for that" – seriously…
Thank You for taking the time to read a little about me, now let's help YOU! ☺
I had terrible stomach cramps, they were doubling me over! My wife asked if she could apply some oils to my lower abdomen and feet. I agreed, just to appease her. I was shocked when I was able to get up 5 minutes later without any difficulties! Talk about amazing.— R.E.
Crazy story: My left knee had been popping when I went up stairs for 3 days. I rubbed the Copaiba oil on it twice yesterday - like literally dabbed it on there in a rush... it's stopped popping.— E.W.
My husband drank Peppermint (vitality) oil with milk to help his stomach and it worked! He is loving Cedarwood to help him focus! Omg yay I'm so excited! And the Gentle Baby essential oil is amazing!— K.K.
My hands were in bad shape... with all the cleaning and dishwashing for Thanksgiving I looked like I had a disease, but my hands are so soft and not cracked now from that lotion you helped us make! I am amazed by how fast it worked!— A.D.
I am a down to Earth, spiritual person who uses essential oils for a multitude of emotions. I am a Registered Nurse, I work in Cancer Care and I use only non-toxic cleaners in my home. My husband and three girls have each benefited in their own way from this lifestyle change so much! I am thrilled about how oils can support our emotions and our body as a whole!
Our environment is toxic - and if you look at indoor air quality, it is on a whole WORSE than the environment outside! We are responsible for being the gatekeepers of our households - we control what we bring in and use on and around our family. I made baby steps, starting with changing to using only Thieves cleaner and purchasing a Premium Starter Kit with a diffuser (so I could ditch my candles and wall plug ins which are horribly toxic) and have transitioned our home to one which is a safe haven for us! It feels wonderful to let my three year old help me clean and know that it is not adversely affecting her health!

Factors of Consideration When Purchasing or Constructing Steel Buildings
Since time immemorial constructions and buildings have lived to be put up with varying materials for construction. Over the years steel has gained lots of popularity in the construction industry and of late it has been seen being used not only for hanger and warehouse construction but also in building of residential buildings. At the same time there are those who have the preference of buying buildings constructed and steel buildings are some of those buildings in the market in the real estate industry and of course, the right protocol and keenness has to be adhered to when choosing steel buildings to buy or put up. Read on to grasp some of the important aspects to look to consider when in need to put up steel buildings or purchase ready built ones.
Different people have different reasons why they would want to build or buy steel buildings. With the reason in mind, consider the location where you are looking to build the buildings or buy them. When looking to put up steel buildings for residential purposes, it is rather logical to locate them in an area with cool climate or at least considerate tree cover.
When the heat from the sun is relatively much and temperature is quite high, steel absorbs lots of heat which might necessitate the installation of AC units to get rid of the discomfort that is brought about by excessive heating. Having the steel buildings located at a relatively cool place with average temperatures ensures comfort and cuts on the cost of AC unit installation. Consideration of location based on climate and weather patterns also applies when buying or putting up steel buildings to be used as offices and maybe hotels. Steel buildings for storage purposes also need to have the location checked depending on the type of product you looking to store.
The next factor of consideration is construction materials. There are different types of steel that are produced and used. Here is where research is necessary on the different steel types available for construction and which one is best or which has been used to construct the steel buildings you are looking to buy. Steel is very expensive to use for construction but is way better than other building materials such as wood or clay bricks since it last for way longer and does not require frequent maintenance. But for this to be successful you need to get the right corresponding fixing equipment and tools and also hire the services of construction workers and engineers with expertise and experience in dealing with steel.
Just like other buildings that have used other building materials, steel buildings do need approval from the construction authorities so as to be out up. Builders and buyers of steel buildings should ensure that the paperwork is right with the relevant inspection and approval signatures of material and designs are in place and legitimate.

There are so many emotions that can show up at the beginning of an engagement session. Nerves, excitement, fear, confidence. But in this case, I was waiting outside our beautiful venue, Mission San Juan Capistrano when Adriana and Michael showed up hand in hand beaming with excitement. Adriana, in an effortlessly stunning floral dress, and her man looking his best to accompany her.
It was obvious from the moment I started adjusting camera settings for our first few images, that this would be a fun one. They beamed with happiness, they looked as if they would walk around this Mission just as intimately if I wasn't there with my camera at all. They adore each other in a way that teaches you something just by spending time with them.
I love this session and I can't wait for you to look through it too!

Going to the Zoo, Zoo, Zoo in Germany
Whether travelling with kids or a sucker for animals yourself, Germany is a great place to spend a day at the zoo. Nearly all cities of any reasonable size have one, so they're not difficult to find and one – in Leipzig – was voted second best zoo in all of Europe in 2016. If animals are on your itinerary, here are 10 safari parks and zoos to visit when you're on holiday in Germany.
Serengeti Safari Park
This old-school safari park, situated halfway between Hannover and Bremen, is divided into four areas: animal world, monkey world, water world and theme park world. In animal world, you can drive through in your car and the animals come to you. Or they stay under the tree and nap because it's way too hot for that. Just be sure to get no deductible insurance if you take your rental. Monkeys love to pick the shiny bits off the cars!
There are around 1500 animals roaming freely throughout; the park also has Europe's biggest petting zoo. Serengeti Safari Park is renowned in zoo circles for its elephant and white rhino breeding program.
Serengeti Safari Park – Am Safaripark 1, Hodenhagen, Germany +49 5164 97990
Berlin Zoo
The Berlin Zoo, right in the centre of the city is old (est. 1844), big (35 ha), popular (>3 million visitors per year) and home to around 18,000 animals covering 1600 species. It's a successful breeding centre for polar bears, all species of flamingos, black rhino and others. Rarities like fossas and ring-tailed mongeese and a whole house dedicated to nocturnal animals make the zoo a must-see even for seasoned zoo goers.
Berlin Zoo – Hardenbergplatz 8, Berlin, Germany +49 30 254010
Sooo klein war sie mal! Alles Gute und Liebe zum Geburtstag süße Meng Meng! She grew up so quickly! Happy Birthday and all the best for you 😙 Thanks to Mr. Li Ming for the picture! #panda #pandasberlin #mengmeng #pandaliebe #pandalove #pandas #allesgutezumgeburtstag #geburtstagskindimzooberlin #happybirthday #birthdaygirl #sommerkind #zoo #berlin #zooberlin
Augusburg Zoo
Next to a botanical garden and the Siebentischwald forest, the Augsburg Zoo has 2,000 animals, making it the perfect scale for families with children too big for the stroller and too small to walk a massive complex like the Berlin Zoo all on their own. Lions, of course, but also free-roaming peacocks, fur seals, meerkats and capuchin monkeys and the rare Persian leopard (not roaming free!).
Augusburg Zoo – Brehmpl. 1, Germany +49 821 5671490
Dresden Zoo
One of Germany's oldest zoos is way over in the east, in Dresden. Around 3000 animals representing 300 species is also a good scale for young families. The Zoo's primary purpose is to serve as a learning centre for scientific research and conservation. You can look a giraffe in the eye on a platform in the Giraffe House and watch monkeys play without glass or a fence to interrupt the view. At the heart of Dresden, not far from the famous Church of Our Lady, lies one of Germany's oldest zoos. People from all over the world come to spend an enjoyable day in the company of its amazing creatures.
Rostock Zoo
Set in a massive 56 hectares inside the Barnstorf Woodland Park, Rostock Zoo focuses on breeding and raising animals native to the Arctic and the northern seas. Polar bears are big stars here as are Kodiak bears, and the seabird aviary. Kids will also love the adventure playground, petting zoo and the discovery stations scattered throughout the park that give little scientists a chance to find out more about their favourite animals.
Leipzig Zoo
Thanks to Heidi, a crossed-eyed opossum, Leipzig Zoo now has the world's attention. True story. It doesn't hurt that it was also voted second best zoo in Europe last year. Things are done a bit differently here and there are many rare species like the Baikal seal, pygmy hippos, the musk deer and the okapi. All four great ape species live in groups like they would in the wild and the 100 year old aquarium has, among many other things, a panorama shark tank. Also, new for 2017 – tiger cubs.
Leipzig Zoo – Pfaffendorfer Str. 29, Germany +49 341 5933385
Cologne Zoo
Another 19th century zoo that has taken great pains to keep up with modern zookeeping methods and develop its own conservation niche – in this case primates. 10,000 animals from around 700 species live right in the city centre. The Owl Monastery is a delight for bird-lovers and Jungle House has gorillas, orang-utans, bonobos and doubt langurs. The Butterfly Hall and 70-tank Aquarium are also a special treat.
Hagenbeck Zoo – Hamburg
Zebra sharks and zebus are just two of 200 species of animals at Hagenbeck Zoo in Hamburg. The zoo breeds orang-utans and Asian elephants. Children can feed giraffes, take camels and pony rides and play in the Wild West Fort. The Polar Sea enclosure opened in 2012 and gives visitors a chance to see walruses, fur seals, sea lions, penguins and other marine creatures close up.
Hellabrunn Zoo – Munich
The world's very first geo-zoo is located in the Isar floodplain conservation area and has more than 19,000 animals encompassing 750 species. Hellabrunn's modern approach to zookeeping means that giraffes live with meerkats and porcupines just like they would in the wild. Inside, reptiles hideaway in the Jungle House, sharing space with gorillas, chimps and birds. The Aquarium, with more than 9,000 fish is not to be missed. Also – there are sharks.

With recent stories linking concussions to a number of post-career ailments, the National Football League is looking at rule changes, increased safety measures and more stringent rules about what players can and cannot do after getting a concussion.
Now, a "historic," and apparently time and cost saving settlement between the league and close to 4,500 retired players has addressed some of these issues and changed the tone of the beginning of the 2013-2014 NFL season. However, there are still a few lingering legal questions and concerns about what the future of professional football will look like.
The NFL did not admit liability, and according to the summary of the agreement, neither side conceded that they may not have been able to win the case. Much of the NFL's statement on the matter focused on the benefits retired players will enjoy and the good to come from funding for safety-related research.
According to information from an NFL statement released on Sunday, Aug. 29, a $675 million fund, among other pools of money set aside for medical exams and research, will be set up to compensate retired players who have suffered "cognitive injury."
Carla Varriale, attorney with Havkins Rosenfeld Ritzert & Varriale, LLP, and a teacher of sports law and ethics in the Columbia University Sports Management graduate program, said the timing of the announcement was likely not an accident. "
The judge [Layn Phillips] encouraged settlement because it was time to strike while the iron was hot," she said. "With a motion pending and the outcome uncertain, both parties were uniquely motivated- plus football season was about to start. Timing is everything."
In an effort to avoid "spend[ing] the next 10 years and millions of dollars on litigation," a settlement was reached, Phillips said. The judge said the cases, without an agreement, would have to be settled individually.
"[Prolonging that case] would have been great for lawyers, expert witnesses, trial consultants and others," Phillips said. "But it would not do much for retired players and their families who are in need."
Varriale said making sure not to admit liability works in favor of the NFL twofold. "[That] the NFL did not admit liability, including notice of the dangers of concussions and brain injuries, protects the NFL in the event of further litigation- a shrewd move from a legal and public relations standpoint."
She added: "I think this is a win-win, but perhaps more so for the NFL. No admission of wrongdoing or 'what it knew' about the health effects of brain injury, $765 million [including medical expenses and safety and research funding] was economically advantageous."
The players faced some uncertainty in the face of the motion to dismiss, but got a notable settlement that earmarks funds -perhaps a small amount in the scheme of things- for future research, she noted. "The lawsuit, however, is a success because of the awareness it brought to a problem that had previously been obscured- the lawsuit married science, law and public policy. I will be interested to see how what we have learned about concussions and brain injuries impacts youth sports-not just football."
Phillips also addressed the possibility of future litigation. "For a variety of reasons, the underlying theory of this lawsuit about what took place in the past would be difficult to replicate in the future. Everyone now has a much deeper and more substantial understanding about concussions, and how to prevent and manage them, than they did 20 or even 10 years ago, and the information conveyed to players reflects that greater understanding," she said.
"In addition, the labor law defenses asserted by the NFL would represent a very substantial barrier to asserting these kinds of claims going forward. The combination of advances in medical research, improved equipment, rules changes, greater understanding of concussion management, and enhanced benefits should, and hopefully will, prevent similar lawsuits in the future," Phillips says.
"Going forward, complete agreements with United States District Judge Anita Brody in Philadelphia will be filed. Brody will then schedule a hearing to consider granting preliminary approval to the settlement. If approved, notice will be given to the retired players and will schedule a hearing to consider final approval, according to information from the NFL."

Building a cold calling sales team is a lot easier than you may think. However, it can be very costly and incredibly frustrating if you do not follow certain guidelines.
1. You must have a semi-relevant list of contacts for you telesales team to call. It is pointless saving money on cheap leads or data which are outside your target audience when you will lose a far greater amount of money through wasted man power, phone bills and eventually recruitment fees from the loss of unhappy staff.
2. If possible, headsets are far better than handsets for any team that will be on the phone for more than a few hours each day. This avoids the phone being held between the shoulder and the chin and keeps the voice clear at all times.
3. A basic CRM system is massively beneficial in order to track the sales conversion rate. CRM stands for Client Relationship Management, and it is a piece of software that will manage the leads that you distribute to your telesales team. These can be expensive, but if you are buying quality data, then they do pay for themselves as less leads are likely to be wasted.
4. You must have a training programme in place. I have seen so many companies not worry too much about training their telesales staff because they look upon the role as elementary or straight forward. Because of this they ignore ongoing training or just implement a brief induction course.
5. Always have at least one sales meeting a week, preferably every morning or before the cold calling session begins. Cold calling is a mind numbly dull job and a meeting before each session gives your staff a chance to air issues and concerns. These meetings also build a team bond.
6. Have a team leader in place to take charge and make sure that you are getting the most out of your team. If you cannot justify paying an additional salary, then just the kudos of becoming a team leader will sometimes be enough to get a half decent team leader on your side.
7. A proven telesales script is essential in order to maximise you staffs input. The script must have at least have the following 3 point structure.
8. Introduction: The introduction must tell the client who your representative is, why your representative is calling, and most importantly why is in it for the client. i.e why the client should give your representative some of their valuable time.
9. Fact Find: You will need to ask some pertinent questions in order to ascertain whether this suspect has the correct qualities or desires in order to become a prospect.
10. Close: The end of the call must lead into or at least create an opportunity for a follow up call from your sales team. This follow up must be welcomed by the prospect. With this in mind it is essential that the fact find section of your telesales cold call pitch is executed successfully.

Setting Sail for The Imaginary Islands
We've set sail for an unknown destination. Our charts are out of date, our compass swings wildly from point to point, resting for a few moments on a course before spinning round again. The sun rises and sets reliably enough, but there's stormclouds and fog, and nightfall, and submerged reefs off the coast. Some say we're headed for Paradise, the land of milk and honey, where naked native girls will feed us and bed us and we'll never grow old. Others claim we're headed for a wild and godless place, where sea-monsters will wreck our fine ship and drag us down to the cold dark belly of the sea, where we'll shipwreck on the reefs and if we survive that we'll make landfall on a barren rock peopled with savages who'll boil us alive and make soup with our bones. Still others claim we'll sail off the very edge of the world and fall off into an endless abyss. Myself, I've no idea.
Now mind the helm, and make for the horizon!

WHO WOULD have thought that Ecclefechan would be the centre, allegedly, of a major industry? A multi-million pharmaceutical business operating out of a small town best known for the fact that Thomas Carlyle is a Fechan boy.
That's not a swear word, by the way, just an affectionate diminutive.
The slight problem is that the commerce in question is the alleged cultivation of cannabis. If I were mayor of Ecclefechan, I would be delighted at the initiative. The signs at the town limits would say: Welcome to Ecclefechan – Scotland's Alleged Cannabis Capital.
But society has a down on this natural product. While the folk who were the subject of a police raid last week will not be getting a Queen's Award for Enterprise, they could end up as guests of Her Majesty.
A large number of decent and otherwise law-abiding Scottish citizens consume cannabis. Lots more would do so if it were not illegal. It seems illogical that so much police time and legal system resources should be devoted to its prohibition. It seems illogical that the provision of this popular recreational drug should be left to people perceived as criminals. Allegedly.
Demand could be met on a safe, controlled and legal basis. I am sure the big pharmaceutical companies are just itching to expand from pills and potions and into the hashish business. The drinks and tobacco giants, who have much experience in selling addictive substances, would love to add dope to their portfolio of products. It makes financial sense. The tax revenue from cannabis would be welcomed by our straitened Treasury. It could fund any number of MPs' second homes, shopping trips, clean moats and dwellings for ducks.
The supermarket chains would take kindly to cannabis vending. Think about the special offers. Buy a joint of meat and get a free joint of the hash variety. Buy a packet of king-size filter-tip finest Ecclefechan (allegedly) smokes and get a free packet of Nestlé Munchies.
But cannabis consumerism should not be left solely in the hands of big business. I would prefer to buy grass at my local greengrocer where I can be sure of the quality and that the alleged growers are getting a Fairtrade deal. One might prefer to score a deal at a farmers' market, where the stuff is bound to be organic.
Scotland's patisseries could do a nice line in space cakes. Genteel tearooms could offer cannabis-laced scones as well as fruit, plain, and wheaten along with the afternoon pot of Darjeeling.
Bars could cash in on the cannabis market, in the manner of Holland's brown cafés, if it were not for the smoking ban. There is a way for publicans to pursue this profitable line of business. It is called vapourisation and is done with a bit of kit which eliminates undesired compounds in the weed and delivers the pure stuff, the tetrahydrocannabinol (or THC), straight into the lungs and thence to the bloodstream. With no smoky toxins and no calories (apart from perhaps that packet of Munchies), this sounds like a healthy way to get stoned.
And there is recycling involved. After the cannabis has been cooked in the vapouriser, there is a residue of cannibinoids which can be mixed with high-proof alcohol and made into a potent drink.
There is a body of opinion that cannabis is a dangerous drug which will lead all our children into addiction and perdition. The yellow press are forever reporting that skunk, a form of cannabis with high levels of THC, turns young people mental and violent.
One young man reportedly "high on skunk cannabis, prowled the streets searching for women victims to act out the sick fantasies he learned from the game Grand Theft Auto". This sounds more like a case for banning Grand Theft Auto. One social commentator blithely opined that cannabis "is believed to be behind a string of violent murders".
Author Julie Myerson chucked her son Jake out of the house, claiming his cannabis consumption turned him into a degenerate who was impossible to live with. She wrote a book, The Lost Child, about how her teenage son had been taken away from her by skunk. Jake responded by writing that his parents were "naïve and slightly insane". This case could also illustrate the highly dangerous and addictive process of writing books about your family.
BBC3, the TV channel for young people, broadcast a documentary Should I Smoke Dope? in which journalist Nicky Taylor tried skunk and reported that it made her paranoid and terrified. For the purposes of her documentary, Taylor had gone to Amsterdam to smoke large amounts of skunk. She also had THC injected straight into her veins.
In previous investigative programmes, Taylor had cosmetic surgery and had a go at binge drinking. To me, this illustrates the danger of gonzo journalism.
In years of observing people who like a toke, I have not detected any great tendency to violent behaviour. Most seem about as dangerous as Dylan in Magic Roundabout. I don't know anyone whose life has been ruined by cannabis. That Kirsty Wark off the telly allegedly tried it and survived.
I don't use the stuff much. It makes me too relaxed which, to be honest, I don't need. I did have a bad trip once in Amsterdam. After indulging in some space cake, I spent half an hour in my hotel room trying to work out what final task I had to complete before going to bed. I finally realised the problem was I hadn't taken my socks off. My overdose had more to do with an addiction to cake than drugs. The result was hilarity rather than paranoia.
Cannabis has been in use since the dawn of time. Hindus and various other religious sects use it as an aid to devotion.
The mental health charity Sane take a much more serious view. It says there is a link between psychosis and cannabis, particularly in its more potent forms. It says the government should warn young cannabis users that some of them are risking lifelong mental illness.
Which brings me back to my point that if people are going to use cannabis, and it seems that they will, production and distribution of the stuff should be in safer hands.

© 2020 Strange Loop
Unison is an open source functional programming language with special support for building distributed, elastic systems. It began as an experiment: rethink all aspects of the programming experience, including the core language, runtime, tooling, as well as code versioning and publishing, and then do whatever is necessary to eliminate needless complexity and make building software once again delightful, or at the very least, reasonable.
We're used to thinking of a program as a thing that describes what a single OS process will do, and then using a separate layer of technologies outside of our programming languages to "configure" many separate programs into a single distributed, elastic "system". This gets complicated. The core language of Unison starts with the premise that no matter how many nodes a computation occupies, it should be expressible via a single program, not many separate programs. Unison programs can describe their own deployment, elastically scale and orchestrate themselves, and deploy themselves in parallel onto any number of nodes for execution.
This talk introduces the Unison language and its tooling and shows what it can be like to program systems of any size with this model of computing.
Paul Chiusano started the research that led to the Unison language and is a cofounder of Unison Computing, a public benefit corp. He has over a decade of experience with purely functional programming in Haskell and Scala and coauthored the book Functional Programming in Scala. He lives and works in Somerville, MA.

Thanks, Mislav. you are probably correct on the L's facing in one direction. I didn't think of that. concerned that it would slide out if loose. The bolts have been holding up quite well. I use a portable electric drill and socket to spin off and on. I was concerned that the original design with screw holes would wear out. That is the fun of building your own boat, You have the choice to innovate and screw up. Enjoy.

Last month was a great month from the marketing side of things for Brandwise. We have seen a 22% increase in traffic from the previous month and this has been our best traffic ever. So this is good right? Well, yes and no. Let's dig a little deeper.
So how could the best website traffic be a problem? It must be that leads are down right? That could be a problem and we see this all the time with inbound marketers, but this wasn't the case last month with us, lead generation was up 313% from the previous month. That is Awesome, right? Yes it is, but at this point we have converted none of these leads into new business or up-sold any clients who may have reconverted in last months leads. So now what?
This is a common experience with inbound marketing. Many inbound marketers measure the wrong things. We are often trained to measure web traffic, how many keywords are on the first page of google and how many leads we were able to generate because of all this work. That stuff is good, but as with any client we need to ask… what are the next steps?
There were a few articles being compared on a linkedin group talking about this very topic. The articles are:
- 5 Reasons To Invest In Inbound Marketing Before Adding A Sales Rep - click here
- Inbound Agencies- Do You Know What Hubspot's #1 Concern is? - click here
After reading both articles and voting on the one I thought was most correct, I also shared these thoughts that were for the group, but also now available for everyone:
What are Lead Generation Experts Saying Behind the Scenes?
The main point of this article and the above comments to the two previous articles is this…
Leads are useless without a sales person working them!
So in the situation of the great traffic and great leads mentioned above, this months goals are work all these leads and start turning a few of these leads into customers. These are the current next steps for us. Although the best solution is not - do all the inbound work then a month later do the sales work, really the best solution should be - do all the inbound work and continually doing sales work focused on both the inbound leads and regular daily prospecting. Like many of you, there is only so much time in the day and doing it all is tough! It is important to step out of your comfort zone though and do not only what comes easy, but also what is needed to complete the business growth you are shooting for. This is why having a system in place is important for both sides of business development (sales & marketing).
Are your sales people helping your marketing people do what it takes to qualify prospects?

Ruggedman: Why I'm Still Single At 41
Ruggedman whose real name is Michael Ugochukwu Stephens has revealed why he is still single, among others, during a recent interview with the PUNCH Newapaper.
Ruggedman revealed women don't trust him because of his celebrity status.
"I am not scared of marriage. I am just tired of meeting women who can't trust me or women who find it hard to believe that I genuinely like them all because I am an entertainer. It is a pity because entertainment is my job. I know some entertainers are a bit reckless but you can't assume that all entertainers are the same. When I date, I do my best to put my woman's mind at rest and let her know she is the one. But it ends the same way. They can't handle dating an entertainer and they would rather just end the relationship."

When you own an apartment or home with carpet on it then you know that your carpets can get dirty and require carpet cleaning to make sure they're looking there best. Then again besides just being clean there are several other reasons why you want to have a regular carpet cleaning for your home. Below I will cover a few of the more important concerns you should become aware of.
First dirty carpet not just appears awful but could also contain a lot of germs and bacteria. Those bacteria and germs can cause people in the house to become sick more often and will effect air quality too. Particular conditions like asthma could be triggered and worsened by the bacteria and germs on dirty carpets. So if you want to be healthier and have better indoor air quality get your carpets cleaned regularly!
Odor is one other common problem that can be easily traced back to dirty carpet. The odor is once more due to bacteria as well as dirt as well as other debris held in the fibers. When you have pets the pollen coming from their bodies and their dropping fur could work its way into the carpet so well the basic vacuuming cannot take it off all. This pet pollen and fur build up will cause a more bad smell after some time. During wet weather pets especially dogs will usually track in water and mud. These soak right into the deepest parts of the carpet and can only be taken out by a professional cleaner in Federal Way, WA.
As you can see simply vacuuming your dirty carpets on a regular basis will simply not due. In order to have truly clean carpet as well as a healthy pleasant smelling home you must have regular carpet cleaning service! The number of times you will get them cleaned is up to you but every 3-6 months is a great rule of thumb. The most suitable choice is to consult a professional carpet cleaner in Federal Way, WA and get there suggestions for your situation. Your nose and lungs would be happy you did!
For all your carpet cleaning needs in Federal Way, WA call Danny Thomas ProClean.

Liang Lu-hai is the son of a Chinese democracy activist. His father went into exile in 1988; he was born in China and raised in England. But today, he and his father find themselves back in the motherland.
His family's struggle for freedom was a quest to escape what they saw as a narrowing reality.
Liang's father's decision to seek protection led to his upbringing in England. But having returned to China, in 2012, of his own free will, Liang's come to realise that the struggle for most young people in China isn't a political one – it's a generational clash against the influence of parental expectations.
Before he left China, Liang's father was an assistant teacher of law at a university in the southern city of Guilin. In the late 1980s he started handing out pamphlets and writing letters calling for democratic reforms. In those days, the winds of change were blowing hard.
In 1988, police in Guilin had arrested Liang's father, and he wanted out. On a July night he found himself on the shore in the southern city of Shenzhen, his brother beside him, hopes pinned to the island of Hong Kong across the sea.
Using bicycle inner tubes to help them float, they swam for hours as they tried to reach Hong Kong. They made it. A few years later Liang's mother escaped too, paying a boatman to ferry her over. But Liang had to be left behind. He arrived in England in 1994, as a boy. Eventually the three became UK citizens. Liang's father published a book in Hong Kong and the British government granted him political asylum.
But the political struggle that the family was affected by doesn't matter much to the youth of today in China – those born after 1980. For them, the government is an inescapable reality; the oppression they feel comes from elsewhere. They struggle to discover their own path free from the expectations of their parents.
The generation that grew up in the 1980s seemed to care more about big ideas like democracy and political freedom. To hear Liang's mother tell it, the decade following then-leader Deng Xiaoping's 1978 introduction of his "Reform and Opening" policies was one of looseness. She describes a hopeful, dynamic country looking toward the future. Liang's father describes a feeling of power as young people felt empowered by new ideas and new hopes, for themselves and for their country.
Today's Chinese youth care less. Why is this? Perhaps it's because there was a growing civil society starting to form in the 1980s, one that was stamped out the end of that decade. But until again the people of China carve out spheres of personal independence then civil society and bigger hopes won't have the space to develop.
In today's China, those spheres are small, or non-existent. "You are never independent, growing up," said Shen Bolun, a 27-year-old artist in Beijing. "How do you suddenly find it when you're in your 20s? You have to spend another 10, 15 years."
Shen spent three years on a personal project, which would eventually become an art installation, during which he interviewed 1,000 young people in 10 cities across China. Participants were invited to talk on camera about their deepest concerns. Rather than talk about issues like politics or government interference, they often spoke of their parents as the biggest obstacle in their lives. "My parent's love is pressure" was a common response.
Shen admits that one reason so many young people in the videos did not talk about politics might be because of fear or a lack of knowledge about other matters. But he also believes that when you don't hold a political view, you don't talk about it: "I think holding a political view shows a very high level of independence," he said.
That doesn't mean young Chinese don't think or talk about the big issues. In hundreds of Shen's videos, participants talked about the education system, the meaning of marriage, social problems, and much more. But a common issue was the pressures young people face and the expectations under which they live.
Young people in China face huge pressure from an early age from their parents, and competition from their peers, in the education system, and after they graduate, the job market. Then comes the marriage market. Mothers and fathers expect their only child to do well; to support themselves and the family, avoid making bad or risky decisions, and to focus on achieving a good life. That leaves little space and time for politics. Worries about the government pale next to concerns about buying an apartment or choosing the right career.
For Chinese women, the pressure can be especially draining. Most women over 25 are under constant pressure to get married. One of Liang's friends wanted to put her career in television before family. She hinted at pressure from her mother and shook her head when Liang asked whether she wanted to get married. Another talked about her village fiancé, the product of a relationship arranged by her parents because of her would-be groom's good standing in the local community.
While men face less pressure to marry, they all feel the push from parents. Liang's mother harasses him on the phone, telling him he should start thinking about making more money for family he doesn't have yet.
There's almost no space for young people in China. The need to compete in the professional and marital marketplaces means young people need to focus on education and connections. Their parents lay down strict rules they need to obey in order to succeed and to fulfil their filial duties.
China's emphasis on filial piety stretches back hundreds of years. But this whole order was interrupted by the Cultural Revolution, a revolutionary frenzy started by then-Communist chairman Mao Zedong. From 1966 to 1976 the youth of China were encouraged to overthrow "The Four Olds": old customs, old culture, old habits, and old ideas. It mirrored the revolutions of the late 1960s elsewhere, but was far darker.
During the years when young Americans were encouraging each other to explore peace, love, and personal discovery, young people in China were denouncing their friends, teachers, and even their own family members for anything that might be interpreted as un-Maoist.
This created a paranoia and anxiety that exists to this day. It may help explain the overwhelming desire among Chinese parents to see their children succeed (even if this "success" has to follow a narrow definition), given that those parents had no chance to do so in their own lifetimes. The effect of the country's previous one-child policy, of course, also raised the stakes – all family ambitions fell on the shoulders of one child, as did the need to support parents in old age.
As a young Briton of Chinese heritage living far away from his parents, independence is a luxury Liang can take for granted. By contrast, with almost no welfare net, an older generation to support, and a highly competitive environment for graduates, the stakes are too high and the risks too great for a young Chinese person to defy his or her parents. Disappointing your parents to pursue your dreams is a common theme in Western movies and TV shows. But you won't see it much in China. Far more than in Western societies, the children of China belong to their parents.
For his part, Liang's father made one great, hard choice in his life: to run. But he never made much of himself in the UK – for almost 30 years, he lived in a tiny flat in a public housing complex in west London. He returned to China after his available options narrowed.
Shen, the artist, says he often thinks about the idea of freedom. "I cannot pick where I was born," he said. "I cannot pick gender, looks, family." But "mentally, you can be free. The more I get to know myself, the more free I can be".
Western commentators often talk about political freedom and independence – democracy for China – without perhaps realising the great personal independence they have enjoyed. Maybe when the youth of China are given the space to explore what matters most to them – relieved of competition, and free of the expectations of their elders – there will be a China big enough for ideas such as freedom and independence. But for now, the expectations of their parents are a much more immediate concern than the will of the Communist Party.

Breaking Down The Best Movies Possibly Ever Made
Over the years, theater goers have been blessed with many amazing movies. There are tons of them and this can make it very difficult to name the best of the best. Some people will argue until the day that they die that their favorite movie is the best movie ever made. Is this actually the case? What do you think? What is your favorite movie? Remember that everyone has their own opinions and some of it is subjective. With that being said, some of the best movies ever made will be explored in greater depth below. They are listed in no particular order.
The Shawshank Redemption
There is no denying the fact that The Shawshank Redemption is one of the greatest movies ever made. It had a little bit of everything. A mysterious man ends up in prison. He challenges the guards and makes friends with the other inmates. Of course, this man wants more from his life. Before you know it, he has concocted a plan to escape. And, he is going to do just that. Nothing will stop him. The movie is really emotional at times. It was released in 1994 but is still one of the most amazing movies ever. Tim Robbins, Morgan Freeman, and Bob Gunton all did exceptionally well with the material.
This is a film that everyone needs to watch at least once or even twice.
Fight Club
When it was released in 1999, Fight Club was revolutionary. It featured the dynamic duo of Brad Pitt and Edward Norton. The film was intense and a little violent at the time. Nevertheless, it had deeper meaning that only a few viewers can figure out. In fact, the true meaning of the film is still discussed today. Regardless, you can guarantee that this movie is going to be a thrill ride from start to finish. If you're a fan of Pitt or Norton, you will definitely want to check out Fight Club. You'll love the experience and never forget it.
Forrest Gump
1994 was a spectacular year for movies. This is when The Shawshank Redemption was released. It was also around the time that Forrest Gump hit theaters. Many will agree that Forrest Gump is the film that made Tom Hanks. Hanks plays Forrest Gump. He is from Alabama and has a very low IQ. Nevertheless, Forrest manages to overcome the odds to become successful. If you like films that are uplifting and emotion, you'll love Forrest Gump. This movie has even sparked its own Bollywood remake.
Casino was released a year later in late 1995. It was a major hit at the time and it is still very popular today. Casino takes viewers back in time to a day when websites like CasinoGuru Canada weren't there to help out. Instead, it is a story of greed, power, money, and murder. It focuses on two men. One if a casino executive. The other is an enforcer. They will attempt to outsmart one another in hopes of gaining control over the gambling empire. The film features some of the hottest celebrities in Hollywood, including James Woods, Joe Pesci, Sharon Stone, and Robert De Niro.
If you love history and casinos, this is the movie that you'll want to watch first!
The Dark Knight
The Dark Knight was released in 2008. It made a huge impact on cinema when it was released. And of course, it completely changed the Batman series. This film took things to a darker level. The film puts The Joker against Batman. Heath Ledger was brilliant as The Joker and Christian Bale met him every step of the way. The movie featured a few more big names like Cillian Murphy, Morgan Freeman, Gary Oldman, Maggie Gyllenhaal, and Michael Caine. If you're a fan of the Batman series, you'll definitely want to catch this film at some point. It is a real thrill ride.
There are plenty of great films out there. Nevertheless, most of them cannot compete with the aforementioned titles. They're intense, emotional, and they've all managed to withstand the test of time. If you love movies and you've have caught the films mentioned above, it is time to act right now! Check them out. You will not be disappointed.

About: Martyn
A bit about me first of all. I've managed to rack up over 20 years of experience working in the financial services sector. In that time, I've experienced life on both sides of the fence – the business side and the regulatory side.
On the business side, I've worked in broker sales, consultancy, administration and technical roles in the fields of life, pensions and investments.
On the regulatory side, I've managed to acquire many years' experience as a compliance officer.
So I know my way around the business, and I can adapt to any sector – which has made the decision where to specialise as a writer very easy.
When I'm not working, I spend my free time with my wife and two sons, enjoying all sorts of fun activities – and sometimes very little activity at all (except watching TV or films).
About: Writing
My early days of writing were quite varied. I found myself writing everything from entertainment blogs to pieces about car airbags and product descriptions for furniture catalogues!
Not very specialised at all, but a fantastic training ground.
I started specialising in financial services over three years ago, and I haven't looked back since. There's so much to write about in our industry because things are changing all the time – not just businesses but rules and regulations too. Also, the more dynamic the industry, the more important quality written content is becoming.
About: My Niche
You probably get now that I'm a financial services writer. Here are some more specifics for you about what I specialise in.
I write B2B content and sales copy for financial services businesses including the following:
Investment Firms
Private Equity
FinTech Businesses
Advisory and Consulting Firms
Training Providers; and
Financial Services Media.
I also write for content agencies on behalf of their clients.

About: Rates
All work items are priced around a core menu of rates, however, the final price quoted will depend on the specifics of the job.

About: What Clients Think
If you're still not sure about whether we can work together, take a look at these comments from clients:
"For us, Martyn has proved to be a master of his trade. He is blessed with a rare talent for distilling the often complex, ambiguous and heavy-going into the digestible and readily understandable. But it is his ability to translate and communicate ideas which, frankly, can sometimes be dry and tedious, in such an engaging and entertaining style that sets him apart from other writers in this sector."

Our goal is to promote social welfare by focusing on our members and "giving back" to our community in the form of volunteering and providing donations through Community Assistance Grants, Outreach and Merit Awards.
The Redstone Arsenal Military and Civilians' Club sponsors Community Assistance Grants for non-profit organizations that request money for events that directly support active duty military, veterans, DoD civilians, their families, and their community. Applicants must reside within a 50 mile radius of Redstone Arsenal. Organizations are encouraged to check eligibility requirements. If eligible, fill out a Community Assistance Grant Application. The 2019 -2020 form will be available soon on our website. Grant applications will be accepted from October 15, 2019 to January 3, 2020. This year there is one grant cycle with awards being disbursed in April and May 2020. For further information, email the Community Assistance Grant chair.
The Club also awards Merit scholarships to military spouses continuing their education, graduating high school seniors and currently attending college students. Applications will be accepted starting October 15, 2019 and the open period runs through Jan 3, 2020 and awards will be made in May 2020. For further information email the Merit Award chair.
Applicants for both awards must reside within a 50 mile radius of Redstone Arsenal.
Redstone Arsenal Military & Civilians' Club is a private nonprofit 501(c)4 organization not affiliated with RSA or the US Army.
Fundraising for Merit Awards
While there are many fundraising efforts that benefit our annual Merit Awards, we are so grateful for the continued support of the Huntsville Chapter of the Military Officers Association of America. They have been supporting military families and efforts in the Tennessee Valley since 1961. The Chapter has earned a Five Star Level of Excellence Award for the last six years in a row and are committed to serving all officers and their families in the Redstone community–retired, currently serving and veterans.
Every fall they host a golf tournament to raise funds for the combined scholarship fund awards in the spring. Our members volunteer beside MOAA chapter members for a silent auction, registration, golf hole monitoring, and more to ensure a successful event. We are waiting to hear what September's golf tournament raised for the 2018 scholarship awards, but lots of fun was had by all for a good cause. Check back soon for an update. Thank you for being an outstanding Redstone Arsenal community partner, HCMOAA!
RSAMCC Community Outreach
We are trying a new program to hopefully increase participation in our outreach programs, which are so helpful within the communities that assist Redstone Arsenal. Anyone who brings an item for the monthly outreach project to the luncheon, will receive a ticket for our "opportunity drawings." It's a win-win, for sure; you help the communities that help the Arsenal and you are entered for the drawing to win a prize from one of our vendors.
Our collection of new and gently used stuffed animals continued through the month of February w much appreciation from Thin Line Support. They will undoubtedly, bring smiles of hope to those children who face the hardships of loss during a disaster. Thanks to Stephanie for carrying the fur babies to Kathy and Mark Hooper.
We ended the year of Community Outreach Guest Speakers w Cynthia Shea Hart from Serving Hope. Cynthia gave a heartfelt and inspiring story of her organizations efforts in championing the down trodden and those who are marginalized thru physical abuse, mental and or educational difficulties. Cynthia explained how Serving Hope gave hope and opportunity in the hospitality industry, through its education and training program. Serving Hope is the first 501(c)3 organization in Huntsville. Cynthia has been serving on many boards for the advancement of 501(C)3 non-profit organizations as well as running several successful restaurants.

Cindy Bass's Stop & Go bill would declare open season to hunt Koreans by forcing them to remove bulletproof glass barriers in their businesses.
In her defense, it seems that city councilwoman Bass doesn't want to hunt Koreans but to repel businesses that she thinks blight the area. I disagree with that philosophy of government, but it is common.
Removing the bulletproof glass to achieve that goal is literally overkill!
Fox 29 in Philadelphia reports, "Controversial bill would force business owners to take down bulletproof glass."

She wants to put some controls on these small stores that she says sell booze, very little food and are the source of trouble in her district.

"I do think it's a bad bill that will endanger Korean Americans,' he said.[…]
Kim argues as a Korean-American he's being targeted.

I'm sorry for Bass's feelings, but they do not constitute as argument. If her bill passes the result will likely be Korean American corpse.

It's hard to believe that it's been twenty years since Biscom acquired Lincoln & Co, the Massachusetts-based file conversion software company. This month we celebrated the acquisition and reflected on what it meant to Biscom's success.
For those of you who may not be familiar with Lincoln's software, it converts documents to and from multiple file formats for faxing, imaging, and printing. OEMs, service bureaus, and end users worldwide use it for their fax, document management, and print systems solutions. For Biscom, the conversion software was a powerful component of the company's early fax solutions.
With the acquisition, we not only acquired the technology to move Biscom forward, we also acquired amazing talent that has become integral to the company. George Bartley, now Biscom's Vice President of Engineering, Lisa Lento Senior Software Engineer, and Annie McCrosky one of our key support representatives came to Biscom through the Lincoln acquisition and remain a vital part of Biscom today.
We're thrilled to celebrate this milestone and look back on the history that has made Biscom a successful enterprise document delivery solution.

Daniil Kvyat become the first retirement of the European Grand Prix after only a handful of laps after a rear suspension issue on his Scuderia Toro Rosso STR11 forced him into the pits.
The Russian had gone into the race around the Baku Street Circuit high in confidence having started from sixth on the grid, but quickly found himself falling down the order, and having made a switch from the Supersoft to the Soft Pirelli tyre early in the race, he returned to the pits and was pulled into the garage to retire not long after.
Kvyat admitted his disappointment to see his afternoon ended so early on, but will take some positives away from the Azerbaijan circuit having shown a good turn of speed in qualifying in a car he felt handled very well.
"Quite a disappointing day, as I was only able to race for a few laps before retiring because of an issue with the rear suspension," said Kvyat. "The car became difficult to handle at the beginning of the race and even though we had quite a decent first lap, in the end we had to stop – it's a real pity, but that's life, this is part of racing.
"We need to investigate what happened and understand the issue, but we will definitely keep on pushing and fighting. We remain positive as the handling of the car has been very good this whole weekend, so the future looks promising and hopefully those enjoyable races will come soon.
"I will cancel today out of my mind and all we need to do is carry on working like we have done until yesterday, because everything was looking great before the race."
