Listen to Your Customers | Provide a Personal Touch | Let Them Help Themselves
At the heart of any successful business is excellent customer communications. The question is, do you know for sure how well your company is doing with customer communications? It could be a serious problem if you aren't sure. Having a few customer communications examples at your disposal could always help.
There are so many ways in which your company can communicate with customers, and vice versa. Knowing what is customer communications management gives your business an edge in keeping your customers happy. These three customer communications examples will help you do just that.
1. Listen to Your Customers
More often than not, your customers will be very vocal about the things they want and need from your company. This can range anywhere from wanting information about the services you provide to questions they might have about a bill. If you aren't listening, you can expect a very poor customer experience will happen, which might cause you to lose that customer.
For this example, let's take a look at your customer, Maria. Maria has been a very loyal customer for many years, but she has a problem. She is no longer receiving communications from you in the mail. Instead, she's only receiving emails, which she doesn't check all that often. She prefers receiving communications, such as bills or invoices, through postal mail.
When she calls your company, how this situation is handled could mean the difference between a great customer experience, or possibly losing a loyal customer. With the right customer communications management software, your customers will be able to receive communications from you when and how they want.
Remember, listening to what customers have to say, acknowledging them, not only makes customers feel more respected and more likely to do business with you, it can serve as a valuable source of feedback to improve your product or company.1
2. Provide a Personal Touch
No customer likes to be treated as though they were just another number. Companies that do treat their customers this way often find those customers leaving for a different company. Your customers want to feel as though you care about them, which is why having a great customer communications management solution is so important.
In this example, your customer, Juan, is having an issue. Juan doesn't mind receiving communications from your company, but he prefers them to be in Spanish, his native language. While the bill he receives in the mail is in Spanish, anything your company sends to him via email or SMS/text message is in English.
The right customer communications software should provide your company with an omnichannel or multichannel delivery system. This would ensure that any communications between your company and Juan would be in Spanish. The best software also lets you follow along the customer journey, so your company can personalize each correspondence to the individual customer.

3. Let Them Help Themselves
Some of your customers might want to speak to someone at your company if they have an issue. This could be either over the phone or in person. If you use a call center, the longer a customer has to wait to speak to someone, the higher the chances of a negative customer experience.
Many of your customers, however, want more options. They are no longer content with having to wait to speak to someone about their problem.
For this final example, meet Rebecca, a Millennial who has been a customer for about a year.
However, her parents and all of her family members are also customers, hence the reason Rebecca is a customer. Rebecca needs to report an issue and wants to use an app on her phone in order to do it.
By using the app, she's able to report the issue, but she wants to make sure she did everything correctly. In this instance, she wants to talk to someone at your company via online chat. If you have the right customer communications system, the employee chatting with Rebecca can simply pull up her information and see that she did file everything correctly. The chat agent can also add anything Rebecca might have forgotten, then send a copy of their chat to her via email. By giving your customers different ways in which to interact with you, you relieve some of the burden on the call center. This leads to shorter wait times and happier customers.
These are just a few customer communications examples. That being said, if you don't think your company can handle any of these, it might be time to look into finding a good customer communications management solution.

text: sunnmagic 0 Report post Posted September 6, 2007 Andy Griffith is best known for his starring roles in two very popular TV series, "The Andy Griffith Show" (1960) and "Matlock" (1986). Griffith earned a degree in music from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. In the 1950s he became a regular on the Ed Sullivan Show and the Steve Allen Show. He was featured in the Broadway play "No Time for Sergeants" (1955) for which he received a Tony nomination, and he later appeared in the film version. His film debut was in the provocative and prophetic A Face in the Crowd (1957), in which Griffith gave a performance that has been described as stunning. On "The Andy Griffith Show" (1960), Griffith portrayed a folksy small-town sheriff who shared simple heartfelt wisdom. The show was one of the most popular TV series in history. It generated some successful spin-offs, and the original is still seen in re-runs to this day. Griffith created his own production company in 1972, which produced several movies and TV series. In 1981, he was nominated for an Emmy for his portrayal in Murder in Texas (1981) (TV). In 1983 Griffith was stricken with Guillain-Barre syndrome, but he recovered after rehabilitation. In 1986 he produced and starred in the very successful TV series "Matlock" (1986). The show spawned numerous TV movies as well. When he accepted the People's Choice Award for this show, he said this was his favorite role. https://www.series-80.net/us/actor/biograph...y-griffith.html Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Micro-microwaves and Mini-Fuel Cells
Interview with
Chris - Time now to catch up, as we do once a month, with Mark Peplow. He's from Chemistry World. We were talking about microwaves just now and you're talking about a microwave oven which is absolutely excruciatingly tiny?
Mark - That's right, last week an American Scientist was claiming it's the world's smallest microwave oven. It's shorter than an ant and half as wide as a single human hair. It's a tiny thread of an oven. You could fit a pin head's worth of liquid in it. About a millionth of a litre.
Chris - People say ready meals are making the population too fat. Maybe we should just give them one of those microwaves because they'd get a microcalorie. What's the point of this?
Mark - Yeah, you wouldn't get much of your evening dinner in this. Essentially this is to create a device where you could heat small amounts of material very easily and very quickly. A good example is if you were doing forensic work out in the field and you wanted to analyse some DNA. One of the ways that people do that is to use a reaction called the polymerase chain reaction. That involves heating and cooling. It actually amplifies your DNA sample so that you can do a test on it. If you imagine a handheld device, it needs a very small heating facility within it. What these guys are proposing is that they can use this microwave oven, tiny as it is, to do this sort of analysis.
Chris - How does it actually work?
Mark - Essentially it's very much like the microwave oven in principle. You have a small cavity hollowed out of a polymer block where your sample goes in and small channels to deliver that liquid into the cavity. You have a very fine tracery of gold wires etched into the polymer block. It's the electrical current moving through those in a particular way that delivers the microwaves.
Chris - Sounds amazing but sticking with the very small, fuel cells are hot topic at the moment.
Mark - Yes, fuel cells are a way of turning chemical energy in a gas like hydrogen into an electrical current. Researchers in Oxford, led by Fraser Armstrong, have created a microscopic fuel cell. They've taken a graphite particle - graphite is the stuff in your pencil - and they've stuck an enzyme on it that converts hydrogen into an electrical current. They've proved that this is working by sticking another enzyme on the other end of the graphite particle which does another reaction. They're saying this is a proof of principle that you can take these sorts of fuel cells, which are already being used in cars and lighthouses, and use them to run chemical reactions in these microscopic test tubes that chemists are working on. So called, 'labs on a chip.'
Chris - Application-wise, you would think people are quite eager to have ways of powering tiny robotic things that you could put inside bodies or do very, very technical things on tiny scales. Energy sources like this must be very important for them.
Mark - That's right. Conventional batteries have proved incredibly difficult to miniaturise in that sense. Conventional battery technology just ends up making very bulky battery packs. Fuel cells are an alternative way you can really shrink things down. You can have a tiny volume of gas that serves as an energy source like hydrogen and this would be the converter to give you a constant current.

Our History
Fellowship Chapel was organized in June of 1940 by approximately 45 people who were led to build a place of worship dedicated to reach the lost for Jesus Christ. Mr. and Mrs. Roy Reynolds donated the lot on which the first weatherboard building was erected.
The following have been pastors since the church's inception:
Rev. Clarence Whitson 1940-1941
Rev. W.B. Newton 1941-1953
Rev. Edward Castle 1953-1954
Rev. Winston Sweeny 1954-1958
Rev. Lester MacKinnon 1958-2000
Rev. Scott Price 2000-(current)
When Lester MacKinnon became Pastor Emeritus in 2000, the Associate Pastor at the time, Scott Price, was called to be Pastor of Fellowship Chapel. The church has seen continued growth under his leadership. In 2003, the current sanctuary was totally remodeled and updated. In 2005, the church added a dedicated children's facility and two additional morning services in our contemporary worship center. Today, over 1,000 people worship each Sunday as part of this growing and blessed body of believers.

Kojima: Death Stranding Will Grant Players Lots of Freedom; Gives Update on Development
Hideo Kojima gives an update on the current development stage of his upcoming PS4 game Death Stranding.
During a stage event from RTX Sydney, Death Stranding Director Hideo Kojima talked about the current development situation of the game.
First of all, Kojima-san mentioned that he would like fans to examine the trailers carefully, as they include many hints on what the game is all about.
Kojima-san's intention is to give fans a lot of hints about the game. The main theme is "connections." technology has advanced a lot in the 31 years he has been in the industry, but game mechanics have not changed much. Player characters still hold a weapon or a stick, in order to push back enemies. With the introduction of online, this has evolved into to players using weapons to push back against each other, or to team up against a stronger enemy.
Kojima-san likes that kind of gameplay, but he wants to introduce connections that will result in a new kind of gameplay. Mankind's first invention was a stick to fight. Its second invention was the rope, to bring people in and connect them. So Death Stranding is about the "Strand" that can connect people, as shown in the trailers.
Kojima-san added that the game is an open world game with a large degree of freedom in which you can do almost whatever you want. Kojima feels that gamers that are used to playing AAA games on high-end platforms will feel at home in this kind of game, but after playing for two or three hours. they'll notice that there's something a little different about it.
He also clarified that it's not a game about using ropes to tie people up and that you can still use guns and sticks to fight back.
Kojima-san also mentioned that it takes a lot of time in creating a game, so the teasers are also intended to gauge reactions from the fans. For Kojima Productions it's important to create a connection with the audience.
While they don't necessarily incorporate all the feedback, they certainly listen to what fans say. Kojima-san is very happy about the reaction to the trailers, and about the fact that people are speculating. There are pieces of the puzzle hidden in the trailers, but people did not manage to put them together yet. Kojima-san is actually a bit scared by the fact that someone might actually put those puzzle pieces together sooner or later.
Using early teasers to gauge the reaction of the audience is something Kojima-san likes to do, and it pushes him forward.
We also learn that the two trailers for the game have been created by the same staff that creates the game, and not outsourced, so in that sense they're "showing the game."
The team has been running tests using Decima Engine by Guerrilla Games last year, and while it's a really fantastic engine, they need to create something different from Guerrilla's Horizon: Zero Dawn. That required a lot of time experimenting on creating a photorealistic look with that same engine.
Horizon: Zero Dawn is a very colorful and artistic game, while Death Stranding looks very different, so a lot of the tools under the hood of the engine had to be adapted and changed.
When this changes are made, they are sent to Guerrilla, which improves them, and then send them back again. There are basically two different companies improving the engine at twice the speed.
The game is currently "moving" on the Decima Engine. It's open world, you can see very far in the distance, and the team is working on he game logic as well. They're doing tests on the game systems, and the general framework has been created, so the current year will be all about creating the game around that framework.
Incidentally, later in the interview Kojima-san explained that the plot of the game was already decided when he contacted Norman Reedus for the part of the protagonist.
People have this idea of Kojima-san that he is a perfectionist so the game will keep getting delayed, but according to him, that's not true. He is the producer, the director and the game designer. On top of designing the game, he has to consider carefully the schedule and cash flows, so most of his games are actually on schedule.
The schedule is positive pressure for Kojima-san. The team already knows what the release schedule is, and when the end goal is. Going to various events like E3 and releasing trailers keeps the pressure on, giving the team the signal that they can't run away from the schedule they set, and they need to work hard to meet it.
That said, asked directly on whether Death Stranding might become a PS5 game, Kojima-san denied that possibility: it will be released on PS4.
If you want to learn more, you can read how Kojima-san isn't thinking about a sequel yet, how the very first game he made was actually canceled, why he decided to partner with Sony Interactive Entertainment, and more details on himself and his games.

In regular court proceedings there is a recognised concept known as 'abuse of process', which in effect means you can't play the system and misuse an established court process without a clear and justifiable legal reason.
Whilst this seems fair, and acts as a protection to both the respondent and the court, a recent case in the Technology and Construction Court has shown that it is a concept which doesn't automatically apply to adjudications.
The case in question is Jacobs UK v Skanska Construction UK [2017], where Jacobs were attempting to stop Skanska form restarting an adjudication which had previously been withdrawn.
The facts show that during the initial adjudication Skanska ran into difficulties when their barrister was unexpectedly unavailable and, as a result, they were unable to reply to the initial referral and response documents. When it became clear that an extension to the agreed timetable would not be granted, Skanska withdrew the adjudication and the adjudicator subsequently resigned.
Approximately two months later Skanska tried again. They served a notice of intention to refer the dispute to adjudication and, whilst they claimed that there were some differences this time round, this was in effect the same matter.
Jacobs objected because they had already incurred costs related to the initial adjudication which, through no fault of their own, had been abandoned. They also claimed that they had a right to a process which was neither unreasonable or oppressive and so, with this mind, the adjudication should not be allowed to go ahead.
This raises an interesting question. Given that by their very nature adjudications can favour the referring party, as they have control over the timing and scope of the matter, should they also have the freedom to start and stop adjudications at will.
According to the presiding judge, the answer seems to be yes and no. With no concept of 'abuse of process' for adjudications, it all boils down to whether the referring party's actions could be construed as being unreasonable and oppressive. In this case at least it seems that this was only half true.
In restarting an adjudication which Skanska had willingly withdrawn from due to their own compromised situation, restarting it once they had arranged appropriate legal counsel may be viewed as unreasonable but not oppressive. It was unreasonable because Jacobs would once again be incurring unrecoverable costs relating to what was essentially the same dispute, however it wasn't unduly oppressive, at least not yet.
Some might say that given that this was the first time Skanska had sought to restart the adjudication, and that there were clear grounds for stopping it before, the judge was right to let it proceed. But does this mean that the referring party can keep stopping and restarting an adjudication as many times as they like? At what point does it become oppressive?
Whilst there is no hard and fast rule, it could be a dangerous game to play. Repeatedly starting and stopping an adjudication for no good reason, other than to provide an unfair advantage to the referring party or to place an oppressive burden on the other side, could lead to an application to the court for an injunction. The resulting expense incurred, and the uncertainty of outcome, could well outweigh the benefits of any Machiavellian schemes.

Kalabhairav Jayanti is the birth anniversary of fierce manifestation of Lord Shiva associated with annihilation. Bhairava (Sanskrit, "Terrible, Frightful") is a Hindu deity, a fierce manifestation of Shiva associated with annihilation. Kalabhairava is usually depicted in a fierce form decorated with serpents and carrying a head.
Bhairava originated in Hindu legends and is sacred to Hindus and Jains alike. He is worshiped throughout India and Nepal.
Bhairava is the wandering form of Lord Shiva and they guard the cardinal points. There are 64 Bhairavas. These 64 Bhairavas are grouped under 8 categories and each category is headed by one major Bhairava. The major eight Bhairava's are called Aṣṭāṅga Bhairava's. The Ashta Bhairava's control the 8 directions of this universe.
Kalabhairav Jayanti Date, Timing
Kaal Bhairav Mantra ,Puja Vidhi-
Kaal Bhairav is one of the most ferocious manifestations of Lord Shiva. Once Lord Brahma grew arrogant and egoistic. During those times he had five heads one on top of the four heads. Lord Shiva wanted to teach him a lesson and make him more committed and responsible to his task. Therefore he created Kaal Bhairav from his nail and thus Kaal Bhairav manifested as an incarnation of Lord Shiva.
Kaal Bhairav moved towards Brahma and severed his top head with his nail. The skull of Braham also called as Brahma Kapala got stuck to his hand and this is depicted in the iconographic image of Lord Kaal Bhairav found in all temples. Kaal Bhairav's vehicle or vahan is a black dog. Kaal Bhairave appears naked like a child and wanders like a mendicant. He is so easily pleased and blesses his devotees with wealth, health and prosperity.
The most appropriate and auspicious time to worship Kaal Bhairav is the Rahukal period on Sundays (4:30pm to 6:00pm). Usually, the devotees carry sacred materials including Coconut, Flowers, Sindoor, Mustard oil, black sesame etc to please Kaal Bhairav.
Story of Kala Bhairava
kala bhairava was a mendicant(beggar) with a begging bowl in hand. the begging bowl was not just any vessel. it was the skull of brahma's fifth head. lord shiva cut it off to humble brahma and vishnu.
So here goes the story:
Brahmâ and Vishnu were disputing with each other for the status of supreme God and appealed to the testimony of the four Vedas, which unanimously proclaimed Rudra-Shiva as the Ultimate Truth of the Universe. But the disputants were unable to accept that Rudra, endowed with so many revolting symbols of impurity and degradation, could be identical with the Absolute Reality of Brahman. Brahmâ laughed scornfully: "How could the Brahman, free of all attachment, lustily sport with his wife in the company of his troop of deformed churn-goblins (pramatha)?" However, Rudra's supremacy was finally reconfirmed by the esoteric sound-syllable, Omkâra, quintessence of the Veda and most condensed symbol of Brahman, who pointed out that Shiva's wife is not adventitious to her husband but on the contrary embodies his own blissful essence. Just then an immense pillar of flame manifested itself in their midst, within which was recognized the towering figure of the three-eyed Rudra bearing his trident, serpents and crescent moon. But the fifth head of Brahmâ taunted him: "I know who you are, Rudra, whom I created from my forehead. Take refuge with me and I will protect you, my son!"
Overflowing with anger, Shiva created a blazing Bhairava in human form, addressing this Kâlabhairava as "Lord of Time-Death" (kâla) for he shone like the god of Death: "You are called Bhairava because you are of terrifying features and are capable of supporting the universe. You are called Kâla-Bhairava, for even Time-Death is terrified of you." He ordered him to chastise Brahmâ, promising him in return eternal suzerainty over his city of Kâshî (Vârânasî), the cremation-ground of the Hindu universe, where final emancipation is assured.
In a trice, Bhairava ripped off Brahmâ's guilty head with the nail of his left thumb. Seeing this, the terrified Vishnu eulogized Shiva and devotedly recited his sacred hymns, followed in this by the repentant Brahmâ. Thereby they gained his protection by realizing and acknowledging the supreme reality of Shiva. The severed head immediately stuck to Bhairava's hand, where it remained in the form of the skull, destined to serve as his insatiable begging-bowl.Enjoining him to honor Vishnu and Brahmâ, Shiva then directed Bhairava to roam the world in this beggarly condition to atone for the sin of Brahmanicide. "Show to the world the rite of expiation for removing the sin of Brahmanicide. Beg for alms by resorting to the penitential rite of the skull (kapâlavrata)." Creating a maiden renowned as 'Brahmanicide' (brahmahatyâ), Shiva instructed her to relentlessly follow Bhairava everywhere until he reached the holy city of Kâshî to which she would have no access.
Observing the Kâpâlika rite with skull in hand and pursued by the terrible Brahmahatyâ, Bhairava sported freely, laughing, singing and dancing with his goblin horde (pramathas). Stealing more than the hearts of all women, even the chaste wives of the Seven Vedic Sages (sapta-rshi) as he passed through the Daru forest, the erotic ascetic arrived at Vishnu's door to seek redemption only to find his entry barred by the guard, Vishvaksena. Spearing the latter and heaving the corpse of this Brahman on his shoulder, he pressed before Vishnu with outstretched begging-bowl. Vishnu split his own forehead-vein (see pic 2) but the out-flowing blood, the only suitable offering, could not fill the skull though it flowed for eons.
When Vishnu then tried to dissuade Brahmahatyâ from tormenting Bhairava, the criminal observed that "beggars are not intoxicated by the alms they receive as (are others) by drinking the wine of worldly honor." Vishnu venerated him as the Supreme Being, untainted by sins like Brahmanicide, and acknowledged that his dependence and degradation were a mere fancy. Before leaving joyously to beg elsewhere, Bhairava reciprocated by recognizing Vishnu as his foremost disciple and acknowledged the latter's status as "grantor of boons to all the gods." On arriving at Kâshî, Brahmahatyâ sank into the nether-world, and the holy ground on which the skull fell, freeing Bhairava from his Brahmanicide, came to be known as Kapâlamocana. It was on the eighth day (ashtamî) in the dark (waning moon) half of the month of Mârgashîrsha that Lord Shiva manifested himself as Bhairava. Ever since, by performing ablution at Kapâlamocana one is rid of even the worst sin of brahmanicide (brahmahatyâ); and whosoever fasts on this day (Bhairavâshtamî) in front of Kâlabhairava (temple at Kâshî) and stays awake at night is freed from great sins.
The original Kâla Bhairava temple was located on the banks of the Kapâlamocana Tîrtha itself, in the Omkâreshvara area north of Maidâgin in Vâranasî, where Bhairava remained as the 'Sin-Eater' (Pâpa-Bhakshana) par excellence to devour the accumulated sins of devotees and pilgrims. If the pilgrims to Kâshî do not fear death there, this would be because their pilgrimage to the Mahâshmashâna is conceived on the ritual model of Bhairava's own arrival at Kâshî for absolution from his terrible sin and his subsequent establishment there. The paradox of Bhairava's scapegoat function even after his 'purification' can be explained as a 'lawful irregularity' resulting from the two opposing valorizations, diachronically disjoined in the myth, of his transgressive essence; it matches the complementary paradox of the pure Kâshî-Vishvanâtha himself being identified esoterically with the impure criminal Bhairava.

In recent years, product supply chains for agricultural goods have become increasingly globalized. As a result, greater numbers of smallholder farmers in South Asia (SA) and Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) participate in global supply chains, many of them through contract farming (CF). CF is an arrangement between a farmer and a processing or marketing firm for the production and supply of agricultural products, often at predetermined prices. This literature review finds empirical evidence that demonstrates that the economic and social benefits of CF for smallholder farmers are mixed. A number of studies suggest that CF may improve farmer productivity, reduce production risk and transaction costs, and increase farmer incomes. However, critics caution that CF may undermine farmers' relative bargaining power and increase health, environmental, and financial risk through exposure to monopsonistic markets, weak contract environments, and unfamiliar agricultural technologies. There is consensus across the literature that CF has the best outcomes for farmers when farmers have more bargaining power to negotiate the terms of the contract. In reviewing the literature on CF, we find a number of challenges to comparing studies and evaluating outcomes across contracts. This literature review summarizes empirical findings and analyses regarding contract models and best practices to increase farmers' bargaining power and decrease contract default.
As our understanding of the impacts of hidden hunger on human nutrition grows, understanding the link between fertilizer use and human nutrition becomes increasingly important. This report presents an analysis of both grey and peer-reviewed literature on the effects of fertilizer use on nutritional quality of food, particularly the staples of maize, rice, wheat, cassava and legumes. We find that some nutrient deficiencies, such as zinc, can be effectively addressed through fertilizer use while others, such as iron deficiency, are more difficult to address. Promising breakthroughs with fortified and complete fertilizers present the opportunity to correct multiple deficiencies. Current fertilizer products exist that, when applied with the proper agronomic methods, can have a significant effect on nutrition in the developing world. However, it is important to recognize that there are many factors in the developing world that have the potential to inhibit the benefits of fertilizer for human nutrition. Two significant factors are poor farmers' difficulty in procuring the correct product and the relative sophistication required to apply fertilizers at the correct amounts and time to achieve desired results. In addition, researchers have not focused on fertilizer and nutrition studies until recently, particularly micronutrient fertilizer studies, and few studies specifically study the impacts of fertilizer on human nutrition. More research needs to be done to understand the most effective combinations and techniques, and to understand whether these methods truly increase the amount of nutrients bioavailable to humans.
This brief reviews the literature on the links between agriculture and human nutrition in rural South Asia, exploring why South Asia has experienced enormous growth in agricultural productivity without subsequent reductions in hunger. An annotated review of relevant articles is included in addition to the analysis. The articles are presented by sub-topic, including sustained economic growth versus lack of progress in nutrition rates and hunger in South Asia, primary determinants of improved nutrition at the household level, agricultural productivity/reform and interventions in nutritional status.

It may seem odd for the editor/publisher of this on-line magazine devoted to the care and management of a rare blood disease to step up and make a strong and partisan political statement. But even though there is an argument that the rule of Donald J. Trump with its ridicule and defunding of science and denial of basic medical care endangers our health, there is a more compelling argument. We are not just bearers of a blood cancer. We are human beings living in a world speeding toward apocalypse with a sociopath at the wheel.
"And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth."
I am a Partisan. And in that connection make only one apology for violating the unwritten, unspoken but hitherto voluntary restriction against the expression of partisan political, religious and social views in these pages.
In this Election Season, we must end the reign of Donald J. Trump and assure the speedy and full exit from the halls of power of both him and the cohort of spineless politicians who have rubber stamped his excesses.
The issues that will determine the future of human life on this planet – issues that transcend our own immediate concerns with management of our blood cancer – are the new Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse: Global warming, Pandemic, Social unrest and Nuclear Proliferation. He has exacerbated each of the great calamities that face us.
For expressing these views and actively working for his defeat, I apologize not to those who voted him into office — or persist in supporting his dictatorial, destructive words and actions — but to the international community for inflicting the great evil of Donald J. Trump upon our common Planet over the past four years. I apologize for maintaining silence, for not bearing witness, I apologize to those whose health, dignity and lives have been trampled by his rampaging tantrums, to the children ripped from their migrating parents hands and placed in cages, to the impoverished denied medical care, opportunity or equal protection under the law..

Things are just not as they seem. Sometimes it takes a virus to snap us back to reality..
Take this too solid and stable Earth. That we're rotating 1000 miles an hour on our elliptical year-long 67,000 MPH journey around the Sun rarely occurs to us.
For all this year at least, the SARS-COV2 gene has been keeping us company on our meteoric journey, Seemingly oblivious to the commotion and locomotion of our carousel Earth, its creation, the COVID-19 virus, goes about its lethal work rain or shine, invisible, silent, shape shifting and deadly.
This Special Pandemic Issue of MPNforum largely sets aside the disorderly behavior of our MPN blood cell lines, that other invisible process linking us together. We focus on our common human condition, the massive disruption of our social, economic and healthcare systems under the impact of a global viral assault
We think we're isolated but we're not. For proof, look at these postcard greetings from our MPN blood brothers and sisters — patients, caregivers, physicians — from their own isolation around the globe. (Tucked into one of the postcards there's even a full blown ZOOM wind concert that will set you humming for the rest of your day.)
Masks once seemed almost irrelevant. Now they're our shield and primary defense while waiting for our scientists to cook up, test and distribute an effective vaccine. Today there's some solid evidence that not only are we good citizens following mandated requirements but wearing the Mask provides some significant personal COVID-19 protection. (DIY guide provided.)
Rethinking the Pandemic. The Gaia hypothesis proposes our planet is a self regulating mechanism.
One of our chief human unrealities is underestimating the significance of other Species. Even early this year scientists questioned whether or not a virus is truly alive.
As a result we focus on HOW the virus functions, WHAT it does and we apply our massive communal brains and sophisticated electronic analyzers to the discovery of its vulnerabilities . By denying its intentions we sidestep two essential questions: WHY is it attacking humans so rapidly and viciously? Is this an element of Gaia self regulation? And WHO assembled those COVID-19 genes precisely along its 30,000 base pair RNA to so effectively target and drive whole human societies across every continent to cower in isolation? Here we reflect on possible lines of inquiry and arrive at a surprising conclusion.
And finally Coffee, the unequivocally good news. Our wake-up buddy and go-to relief in time of fatigue and stress, the freshly brewed hot cup of coffee, has a range of unsuspected benefits. We gleefully list some and point to the happy science behind the claims. Enjoy.

Overflow ball mills are one of the most widely-used ball mills, usually used for the fine grinding operation. They are also cheaper than other kinds of ball mills. Xinhai is a leader in its wet energy-saving overflow ball mills even around the world. Now, taking Xinhai product as an example, we will give you a brief introduction about wet energy-saving overflow ball mills.
Wet energy overflow ball mills working principle is that in a power-on state, the rotary pinion will drive the gear wheel in the feeding end of the mill's shell to revolve thus making the whole mill rotate with a certain speed. Materials for grinding are fed into the mill's shell via the feeding device in the feeding end, after which they are crushed heavily for being constantly impacted and ground by the steel balls and ores inside. As feeding is gonging on continuously, the ores in the shell keep moving to the discharging end. Meanwhile, because the diameter of the neck of the hollow shaft in discharging end is longer than that in feeding end, the ore particles meeting the targeted particle sizes will overflow outside from discharging end. There exists a helical shaft with an opposite rotary direction to the mill in discharging end of wet overflow ball mills. Those ore particles missing the required standard and steel balls will settle onto the helical shaft and then be transmitted back to the shell along with the shaft.
Why Xinhai's wet energy-saving overflow ball mills are able to save energy consumption?
a, Xinhai wet energy overflow ball mills shells are designed with an appropriate diameter-length ratio, which can ensure grinding work meeting the required target as well as send out the ores timely, shortening the time ores remain in the shell and preventing them from being over the ground. As a consequence, such overflow ball mills can work at higher productivity but with less energy consumption, saving cost.
b, Xinhai has adopted large double self-aligning roller bearings instead of sliding bearings for its wet overflow ball mills driving mechanism, highly reducing the friction force. This design makes it easy for the mill to rotate and reduces electric consumption on friction, thus able to hugely lower the whole energy consumption by about 20% to 30%.
c, Xinhai can use corrugated linings as its wet overflow ball mills Lining board configuration. Corrugated linings are conducive to lifting ores and steel balls and meanwhile strengthening impact force, so it can decrease the energy consumption widely.
The practice has proved that wet energy-saving overflow ball mills can save energy consumption and reduce grinding costs. That is the reason why so many customers at home and abroad choose Xinhai wet energy-saving overflow ball mills and gives roaring reputations to Xinhai.
When Ball mill grinds fine material, its settings during its movement will be based on the material, steel balls, lining and so on to adjust the output, and ensure stable operation of the ball mill. ... [more]
Overflow ball mills are the most commonly used mill in the grinding stage for a processing plant. Double rolling bears are adopted in overflow ball mill instead of sliding bears. ... [more]

Why does an isothermal reversible process have 0 change in internal energy? I know that isothermal processes have no change in temperature.

Re: Isothermal Processes
Internal energy is due to motion of particles in a system which depends on temperature. As you mentioned, temperature in isothermal process is constant, so the internal energy will also be constant. Therefore, the change in internal energy 0. Hope that helps!

Re: Isothermal Processes
furthermore, it is important to note that for isothermal, reversible processes, the change in internal energy is 0 when they are ideal gases. Because they are ideal gases, there is no exhange in energy during the collisions.

Security is, and remains, the foremost concern while choosing the right material for making doors and windows. The door at the entrance is the first level of security that keeps intruders away from breaching the privacy of those living inside or thwarting off any attempt at robbery or unforeseen mischief. For this, aluminium doors are now a preferred choice owing to the durability, resistance to weather conditions and glossy look of the metal. This explains why an increasing number of homes or offices are now fitted with aluminium casement doors that can be fashioned for both inward and outward movement as per requirements.
Why choose aluminium doors over others?
Slim and solid coupled with a streamlined aesthetic appeal, aluminium doors are a rage in contemporary buildings, be it for residential or commercial purposes. The level of strength and stability that aluminium has to offer coupled with its insulation quality, unlike most other metals, makes aluminium the best fit for making the entrance doors at one's place. Many homes or offices designed around current trends are now installing aluminium doors fitted with double-glazed safety glass at the entrance to ensure greater strength and maximum security. Moreover, hassle-free fitting of aluminium casement doors, available in myriad designs including sliding, bi-folding or stacking, into the walls of your place not only ensure greater protection against drastic weather changes, but also increased protection against sudden break-ins.
Also, the fact that these doors are fitted with locks similar to all other doors in home or office construction implies that security is guaranteed at all stages. To enhance the security level, one can also get additional locks fitted to the doors without hampering their look.
Longevity ensured
Aluminium is much reputed for its solidity, lightness and resistance to corrosion. However, the metal is still subject to chemical treatment like anodisation or powder coating to supplement its resistance quality while adding to its strength. Prolonged colour coatings and greater ease of maintenance are other reasons that validate use of the aluminium metal in making doors and windows as opposed to the traditional method of dependence on timber for the same. As aluminium doors are available in both anodised forms or with a powder coat finish, these doors do not have to be repainted each year.
While anodising aluminium furnishings, the metal is subject to an electrochemical process that increases the thickness of the natural oxide layer on its surface. Since the oxide coating is a part of the metal, there is no way that it will peel off under extreme weather conditions. The colour of the surface does not fade with time and is fairly consistent when looked from different angles.
However, some prefer to have their aluminium furnishings subject to the powder coating process that involves electrostatically charging of the powder on the surface of the metal, post which it is treated in a curing oven to ensure smoothness of the coating. The powder sprayed is generally a mix of finely milled resin and pigment and is preferred as it lends a new look to the aluminium doors. Available in multiple finishes including the gloss finish or the satin look, the dents suffered while making the aluminium doors get filled with the liquid coating during the process.

Worldwide first Urtext edition of Bartók's Mikrokosmos - Volume 1 (comprises books 1 and 2 of the original edition) Béla Bartók's Mikrokosmos is one of the key works of 20th-century piano music. The repertoire comprises educational pieces 'from the very first beginning' as well as concert literature, thus making this work an indispensable companion to piano lessons. The work is now available for the first time ever as an Urtext edition in three volumes. Besides the first 66 pieces "from the very beginning", volume 1 contains two so far unpublished pieces that were recorded already before publication and can be found on YouTube.
The 66 pieces comprise - according to Bartók himself - the repertoire for the first year of teaching. The first volume also includes the special versions of the pieces "Waves", "In Transylvanian Style" and "In Oriental Style". Bartók's comments on each piece of Mikrokosmos, added in 1944, as well as notes on study and interpretation based on the sources, a glossary of unusual performance indications and a facsimilie of the engraver's copy of the pieces No. 37-39 round off this unique Urtext edition.

Gamemakers are really becoming proficient in making remarkable offerings based on comic books. It's probably because both industries employ the same kind of macho geek (which also explains the failure of movies based on games; the big budget movie industry is all macho and no geek).
Take The Hulk: Ultimate Destruction, a game that actually portrays the lunking green monolith as a complex and frightening monster, not some dim-witted Frankenstein clone. From the moment you begin to play, tossing 18-wheelers at helicopters, you're struck by his varied abilities, the expansive graphics and the true-to-the-comic cut scenes that are both full of hubris and melodrama. It's one of the year's best games.
Ultimate Spider-Man is certainly no slouch, either. With better writing than The Hulk (Activision employed the comic book writer and artist team) but not quite the astounding gameplay, you feel like you're inside the comic book itself. No, you don't feel flat and two-dimensional. You feel some how free to take on the criminals in New York (where's the Jr. Gotti character, though?). Pumped full of teenage angst, spider silk with unbelievable tensile strength and a big mouth, you'll deal with everyone from Nick Fury to Venom. Plus, the cel-shaded graphics make me want to own some of the original art from this game.
If you want a deep, comic book-inspired RPG that lets you adjust your mutant's abilities to your steely heart's content, X-Men Legends II: Rise of Apocalypse might tickle your fancy. You've got 100 enemies, well over a dozen mutant heroes (not Tom Dale Delay, but Wolverine, etc.), and you have to (big shocker) stop the world from begin taken over. If you like a lot of ability-tinkering with your hack and slash, this game gets it right.
The tough geek in me, the one who savored Remnick's King of the World, really wanted Marvel Nemesis, the fighting game based in the Marvel universe, to work. Hey, who wouldn't want to use The Human Torch to punch out The Hulk (especially when he seemed so indestructible in Ultimate Destruction? But this ain't no Soul Calibur. It's not even Rocky Legends. There are just not enough fighting styles and depth of story for this to work, even as a one-on-one punch 'em up. Note to the developers for the sequel: Soul Calibur, Soul Calibur, Soul Calibur.
Publisher: Atari
Developer: Quantum Dream
What if you started killing people? Not because you'd had enough of the suck-ass way of the world that had so embittered you. But because . . . well, you don't know why. And it's a trend. Good people elsewhere in New York City are whacking their fellowmen. That's the premise of INDIGO PROPHECY, an eerie adventure story that recalls the games Myst (the adventure part) and Johnny Mnemonic (the interactive movie part). Yeah, the controls are a little twitchy at times, but you're really inside the emotion of this mystery (helped along by a disturbing score and decent voice acting). Question is, can you get to the bottom of it? And, do you really dare to?
Myst V: End of Ages
Publisher: Ubisoft
Developer: Cyan Worlds
Speaking of Myst, the last episode of the landmark series has just been released. MYST V: END OF AGES is rife with the brain-crushing, ulcer-inducing puzzles that the series relies so heavily upon. Yet this is a 3D game, and you can explore pretty much everywhere your heart desires. And don't be too afraid of those lanky Bharo folk. They're gonna help you out sooner than you think. Beyond the puzzles, the other Myst signature is still here: graphics that blow you away. In the snow environment, you actually feel like you're part of "Slava's Snow Show," inside one blustery blizzard.
Burnout Revenge
Publisher: Electronic Arts
Developer: Criterion Studios
Playing BURNOUT REVENGE, the latest in the crash 'em up Burnout series, almost feels like autocide. You're wiping out so many cars by crashing into them and onto them, GM and Ford should recruit Jack Bauer to go CTU on your butt. While it's not the amazing surprise that Burnout 3: Takedown was, the game still provides the quick chills and thrills of bumper-to-bumper bust ups—with an alternative rock 'n roll soundtrack that kicks like the better Lower East Side rock bands. Like each performer at Lach's Anti-hoot, one of the allures here is that each race is pretty short. Add special effects of lurid pyro and twisted metal that Hollywood can't touch, and you've got the second best Burnout to date. (Last year's was a smidgeon better since it felt so new.)
WWE Day of Reckoning 2
Publisher: THQ
Developer: Yuke's Media Creations
One of the things I've always disliked about wrestling games is that they didn't feel like the humorously melodramatic soap opera they are on TV. Without the interesting fighting or compelling, operatic tales, I certainly didn't feel like a wrestler. WWE DAY OF RECKONING 2 changes that somewhat with an extended story mode. You've climbed up through the ranks to become a top dog, but the doggone title is stolen. You try to retrieve it with the support of your galpal, who happens to be skinny looker Stacy "How Does She Wrestle in Heels?" Keibler. With some of the best graphics seen on the GameCube, some decent (though not perfect) A.I., and a fighting system that makes you care, this is an essential title for the wrestling fan, and for the curious (even if you're not really going to get Stacy Keibler—not even if you're that drooling dog Neil Strauss feigning in Style mode.)

Phra Sivali Arahant 西瓦里行者
At the time of the Buddha Gotama there reigned a righteous King and Queen named Koliya and Suppavasa. After some time Queen Suppavasa conceived a child. The unborn child brought great fortune to the kingdom. Not only did the queen receive many gifts from friends and relatives, the whole kingdom became prosperous. Crops grew in abundance and everyone was well-fed and healthy. The queen grew heavy with child but when the natural time for the birth arrived, she failed to deliver the baby. She grew uneasy as time passed by with still no signs of the birth, and asked the King to invite the Buddha and His retinue of monks for a meal. After the meal the Buddha blessed the queen by saying:
"May Suppavasa, daughter of the Koliya clan,
Be happy and healthy and give birth to a healthy son."
After the Buddha left, the queen gave birth to a beautiful, healthy son. As a mark of respect for the Buddha, who had eased the queen's heavy burden with His blessings, invited the Buddha and his retinue to receive alms at the palace for seven days. They named the prince Sivali, as from the time of his conception; the people's hardships were alleviated through an abundance of rich crops.
One day when Phra Sariputta was on his alms round he visited the prince and informed him of the suffering that he and his mother had undergone because of the delayed pregnancy. Phra Sariputta then went on to explain to the prince the unwholesome action that his mother and he had performed and the resulting effects of their actions.
In a previous birth Phra Phra Sivali had been born as the King of Benares and had waged war on a neighboring kingdom. He had surrounded the kingdom and told the citizens to surrender or fight back. When they refused to surrender, in collaboration with his consort, his present mother, he had decided to surround the city and hold them hostage until they did so. The citizens, who did not want to fight back or live under the rule of such a king, had not surrendered. As a result, they had suffered greatly without food for a very long period. Many of the sick and the elderly had died but the arrogant king and his queen had not given in. Many months later the King had withdrawn his troops and released his hostages but he had paid dearly for the suffering he had caused. At death he was reborn in Avichi hell. The delayed pregnancy and the suffering he and his mother had undergone resulting from the delay were the residual effects of this action.
After illustrating the Noble Truth of suffering, Phra Sariputta asked the prince if he would like to join the Noble Order so that he could seek the path to end all suffering. The prince was overjoyed at this invitation and agreed to join the order with his mother's permission.
The queen, who was a devoted follower of the Buddha, agreed. She escorted Prince Sivali in procession to the monastery to be ordained. On the day of ordination when they shave his hair, Phra Sariputta advised Phra Sivali to meditate on the impurities of the body. Phra Sivali, who was spiritually advanced resulting from previous wholesome actions, focused his mind as instructed. Before the completion of the shaving of his hair, Phra Sivali attained the supreme wisdom of Nibbána.
The monks soon noticed a strange phenomenon when they were with Phra Sivali as Phra Sivali always seemed to have an abundance of rich, fragrant food and the other requisites (robes, shelter and medicine). Monks who were with him also had the opportunity to share in the bounty. Wherever Phra Sivali went, people flocked around to prepare food for him. Donors offered Phra Sivali with all the requisites of a monk every time he went on his alms round.
Therefore, it was that wherever Phra Sivali travelled both people and devas supported him. He and his retinue of 500 monks were in an uninhabited forest for seven days, but they were not short of food. The Devas made sure that they fulfil all his requirements. Similarly, when Phra Sivali was travelling through the desert he was well provided with requisites. The Buddha, seeing that Phra Sivali was fulfilling a previous aspiration in His reign, declared that he was foremost among the monks in obtaining requisites. He also instructed monks who were travelling on long, tedious journeys through uninhabited terrain be accompanied by Phra Sivali, as with him by their side they would be ensured of the requisites. In fact, on one occasion when the Buddha and His retinue of 30,000 monks were travelling to visit Phra Khadhiravaniya Revata (Phra Sariputta's younger brother) they had to cross an uninhabited forest. Phra Ánanda, fearing that they would not be able to obtain food in the jungle for such a large number of monks, questioned the Buddha about the logistics of the journey. The Buddha assured Phra Ánanda that they had nothing to worry about as Phra Sivali was with them. With Phra Sivali present, there would be no shortage of food because even the Devas reveled in taking care of his requirements.
In general, only the doer reaps the effects of one's wholesome and unwholesome intentional actions. However, there are instances, as with Phra Sivali, that others too benefit from unusually strong actions of another. This overflow of the results of the effect of a persons strong kamma on others is known as nissandha pala (overflowing results of kamma). While vipaka pala, results of kamma are reaped only by the doer nissandha pala are experienced by others who happen to be with you. Nissandha pala could be both wholesome and unwholesome in accordance with the deed performed. For instance, Phra Sariputta did not obtain alms in one instance resulting from the nissandha pala of Losaka's strong unwholesome deeds.
To seek the cause of this strange phenomenon we need to go back many aeons to the time of the Buddha Padumuttara. Phra Sivali, who had been born as a poor man, had the opportunity to see the Buddha Padumuttara confer on another monk the honor of being foremost among monks who obtain the requisites. Fascinated by the way, everyone desired to provide alms and robes to this monk; Phra Sivali had decided that he too would like to hold a similar position in a future birth. He had then performed many acts of generosity to the Buddha Padumuttara and His retinue and made an aspiration.
The Buddha Padumuttara, foreseeing that Phra Sivali's aspiration would be fulfilled had prophesied that at the time of the Gotama Buddha he would be foremost among the monks who obtained requisites. From this point onwards, Phra Sivali had started in earnest to work toward his aspiration. At death, he was reborn in a heavenly realm where he enjoyed many years of heavenly bliss.

A potent mythological symbol of healing brought to life in vivid gold on deep blue.
The Greek God Aesculapius is associated with medicine and healing, and the winged rod he carries is entwined with a serpent. In ancient Greece, non-venomous snakes were used in healing rituals. Here, the serpent implies notions of therapy and even resurrection, where those who adopt medical science experience a kind of shedding of old skin. As such, the symbol retains a timeless power and a particular resonance for anyone involved in healthcare, healing or therapy. As a cufflink design, it has a compelling and dramatic aura.

Ramses Barden spoke after he was selected by the Giants. Here are some selected quotes (not much available yet, when it becomes available we'll get it up)
"I would like to say I'm a complete receiver," Barden said. "I like to think I can do everything a receiver is asked to do."
"I want to compete," he said, "and make whatever impact I can make. I know I have to earn a job, no one is going to give me anything."

UAV startup Wingcopter is flying high this week after being named one of nine winners of Germany's top global hackathon to kick-start humanitarian drone delivery.
The autonomous delivery drone manufacturer partnered with UNICEF and the African Drone and Data Academy to develop a concept to deploy humanitarian drone delivery services. The goal will be to improve health supply chains during the COVID-19 pandemic and beyond. The group will receive up to $3.6 million to make the plan a reality.
The brainchild of the German Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development, #SmartDevelopmentHack solicited "innovative digital solutions to tackle the challenges caused by the coronavirus outbreak in low-and-middle-income countries."
The concept would see the development of a locally operated humanitarian drone delivery network in Malawi. Tasked with supporting community healthcare systems, the delivery drones would provide on-demand access to medical supplies such as coronavirus test kits and future vaccines.
In addition, the program, will launch two training programs to teach 160 Malawi children how to build, operate and maintain drones, as well as data-analytics training.
"Wingcopter's long-term strategy involves developing a sustainable education platform for youth to enable them to participate in the rapidly growing drone market, offering new job and income opportunities and ultimately improving their quality of life," Wingcopter CEO Tom Plümmer said.
He added:
"By providing both theoretical and practical training on our drones, we will help young people to enter the industrial drone sector faster and better equipped. This concept is fully in line with our vision and we are happy that the award recognizes and supports this approach."
Earlier this year, Wingcopter won first place in the Emergency Delivery category at the World Bank-sponsored Lake Kivu Challenge in Rwanda.
In March, the company announced a collaboration with UPS Flight Forward to develop a next-generation delivery drone solution for packages. The duo will next seek regulatory certification for a Wingcopter unmanned aircraft to make commercial delivery flights in the United States.
In addition to the UPSFF partnership, Wingcopter is also working on a drone-delivery program with pharma giant Merck. The pilot program will transport pigment samples from a Merck site in Gernsheim, Germany to a lab in Darmstadt – a distance of 15.5 miles. In September, Wingcopter worked with Researchers at NUI Galway, Ireland to complete the world's first BVLOS delivery of prescription medication and blood samples for diabetes care.
