Recently, a lot has been said about what the outlook for sales by 2020 will look like.
Forrester kicked things off with their famous prediction that 1 million sales jobs will vanish by 2020. And then everyone, from Cranfield University to HBR jumped on the bandwagon.
Globally, there seems to be a consensus building around a few things. Yet, sales is a notoriously short-sighted profession. A world of weekly dashboards, quarterly targets and annual goals.
Most sales managers I speak with are firmly focused on 2016 – not 2020. At best, they'll be vaguely aware of what everyone is going on about, and be slightly amused by all these changes the "analysts" seem to be predicting.
Most sales managers are horribly wrong in ignoring the tidal wave of changes to come – for two main reasons.
First, thinking about sales by 2020 is not focused on some far-off point in time. We're talking 4 years here. 16 quarters. Most organisations move like oil tankers. Meaning that, if the world is going to change substantially by 2020, the time to get moving and start preparing is … now.
Second, the world that Forrester and others are predicting will come … is already here. The shift has already started. Sales by 2020 is in essence just a further development of sales in 2016.
We're not talking about how we'll all hoverboard to client meetings, or hold our annual sales retreats on Mars.
Much of what Forrester and everyone else is claiming will happen is already happening. Order takers on the way out ? Check. Consultants on the way up ? Check. Social selling becoming mainstream ? Check.
It's not like we're all going to wake up one day and find the world magically transformed – the changes that everyone who's keeping a long-term perspective on sales are predicting are already here.
Specifically, there are 7 major shifts that have already started, and will gradually change the nature of sales by 2020.
#1. Order Takers On The Out, Consultants On The Rise
Maybe I have a biased perspective (most of my clients sell complex, high-end B2B services and already sell as consultants), but this train has definitely already left the station.
Many sales managers and business leaders I speak with have already caught on to the fact that the skillset (and mindset) for success in sales today is very different from what it was 10 years ago. They see it on their dashboards, and their sales figures.
Those who are successful in sales today act more like high-end management consultants Click To Tweet
They educate their clients with new ideas and perspectives. Co-create and collaborate on solution development. And win the sale not by deploying some clever closing technique, but by demonstrating that the overall value they deliver is superior to other options.
#2. "Prospecting" Will Move From Outbound To Inbound
For as long as we can remember, prospecting has been about generating outbound sales leads – but recently that's started to shift around completely.
In the future, a key skillset for successful sellers will not be their ability to prospect – it will be their ability to generate inbound leads (for themselves), and qualify those leads. Sellers will become their own mini-marketing department.
Buyer behavior is changing. With every single study, the effectiveness of "traditional", outbound prospecting techniques is dropping.
Savvy sellers are already transforming themselves as experts in their space. They already understand the value of being prominently placed on search engines. And they have caught on to the fact that if buyers want to go online to consider their options, they need to be highly visible as one of those options.
In the future, "prospecting" will revolve around brand positioning, SEO/SEM, online relevance and supporting the buyer journey. The very idea that once we used to pick up the phone to call complete strangers and try to generate "meetings" will be seen as ridiculous and antiquated.
#3. Inside Sales, Outside Sales. Tomato, Tomato.
OK. So there are a bunch of people now predicting that inbound sales is growing faster than outbound sales, and will ultimately come to replace it.
In the future, there will be no distinction between inbound and outbound sales. Everyone will ultimately come to rely, for the most part, on what we now call outbound sales (except, by then, we'll just call it "sales").
I can't think of a single seller who hasn't already embraced the fact that technology makes it easier, more cost-effective and more efficient to sell. Not a one.
In the future, we'll all use online meeting solutions, chat, social media and a host of other technology as the core part of how we do our jobs. In fact, for many sales pros, that's already the case (I can't remember the last time I went out to see a client for a "sales meeting").
#4. Social Selling Will Henceforth Be Known As "Just Selling"
When I started my career in management consulting, there were two hot topics on the horizon: mobile and e-business. Today, those things are just as natural and normal to us as breathing.
For 95% of the population, there is zero need for training or education around "how to buy online" or "how to use your smartphone".
In the future, ALL sellers will use social media to position themselves as experts in their space Click To Tweet It's not going to require any special training, or cause great debate around whether or not it'll "revolutionize selling".
It'll just happen.
Except, we'll just call it "selling". Plain and simple.
#5. Salespeople Will Become Businesspeople. And Specialists.
In 2016, you can still get away with having a fairly high-level understanding of your client's industry, business model and organizational issues. When we're in sales by 2020, that will no longer happen.
As buyers demand increased levels of professionalism, insights, knowledge and in-depth understanding of their challenges, industries and operations, sellers will be forced to specialize.
Yet, at the same time, buyers will expect sellers to have a broad-based business background, and be conversational on things like corporate strategy, finance, operations and management.
The most successful sellers will be businesspeople first, sellers second.
#6. The Tension Between Sellers And Clients Will Disappear.
For decades (and perhaps longer), the interests and objectives of sellers and clients were virtually diametrically opposed. In everything from lead generation to negotiations, the ultimate objective of sellers was to gain the upper hand and "seal the deal".
Todays' buyers expect co-creation, and a real sense of partnership.
Sellers who continue to operate in the old paradigm of "seller take all" will simply be ignored and marginalized. Those who think truly client-centric and focus on collaboration will thrive.
#7. Sales Performance Will Become Increasingly Concentrated At The Edges.
In virtually every industry in the world, there is a small number of individuals (and firms) who acquire the vast majority of opportunities, wealth and results.
The world of sales by 2020 no different: we're going to see a movement towards (even more) concentration, where a small number of sellers generates the vast majority of opportunities, revenues and compensation.
The world of sales in 2020 is not 80/20 – it's winner take all.

Press Report Week Ending 19th January 2014
Posted by Nobody on 22 January 2014
Last Saturday (11th) was Clydesdale Harrier's own club race The Hannah Cup. It took place this year in Dalmuir Park instead of the usual Dalmuir Golf Course. A few runners went off course so times were not recorded. The course is going to be used for this Saturday's Dunbartonshire Cross Country Championships.
On the 5th January three members of the club travelled down to Preston to run in the Central Lancashire New Year Half Marathon. Fastest harrier was Paul Carroll who had a brilliant run to finish as 2nd male overall in a time of 1.17.15, followed by 5th placed male Robert O'Neill (1.19.11), and Marina McCallum (1.35.44).

Hopefully you are already editing your posts regularly, by which I mean every time you write one. Writing and managing your own blog takes time. You need to continuously work on and develop your techniques. The more you develop your content, the more your content will attract readers.
Editing is an important aspect of every kind of writing. If you develop your editing skills, you have a better chance of drawing in new readers. On the flip side of this, readers might flee at the sight of your blog should you neglect the editing aspect of blog-writing.
If you're still not convinced, here are a few more reasons as to why writers in general should be editing their blog posts.
Stream of Consciousness
Inspiration can strike at a moment's notice. You might have a great idea for your next blog post and know in your heart that it will drive traffic to your site and bring in new users. This is always great. Inspiration is a fantastic thing. The bad part about this type of writing is that your thoughts can be like a speeding car on an icy road. When you just let your thoughts fly, they will soar, but they might also lack direction.
Writers often let themselves get lost in their words without going back to check to see if the writing would make sense to a reader. Going over the post again and editing will give you the chance to organize your thoughts and make them more readable. During this process, you might also notice a few stray thoughts that aren't relevant at all.
Grammar Can Be Tricky
A lot of writers prefer to edit while they're working on an article or post. It doesn't always work out as well as they think it does. It's important to take the time after you complete a post to read over it a couple more times. We all miss a couple things while we're editing. You may have pressed the wrong key without noticing, left out a comma, or just completely missed the proper punctuation.
Editing afterwards is a definite must! Spell-checking a document doesn't always catch every spelling mistake. There might be a stray "greet" where you meant to put a "great," or you may have used the homophone of a word by accident. Spell-check certainly isn't going to catch the difference between to, two, and too or there, they're, and their.
So, You're a Native Speaker?
There are a lot of people who think that just because they were born into an English-speaking culture, they automatically have perfect English. This is not true. You may have learned about English grammar in grade school, but you probably don't remember even a quarter of the principles that you were taught. Don't assume that your English is perfect. Even if it is, it's still very likely that you'll make a mistake while you're writing your latest post.
You might be a native English speaker, but don't be naïve English speaker.

Loving Hut: Best veggie burger in Chicago?
Now of course I have not had every kind of veggie burger that Chicago has to offer. BUT...out of every veggie burger I've ever had in my life...this one is hands-down the best. Called "The Noble Burger" at Loving Hut, you can also pay a bit extra for fries or vegan cheese. I don't do the cheese, but I almost always (ok, always) do the fries. They have regular and sweet potato, both are yum. The burger has that smoky, grilled taste that I've missed so much in other veggie burgers. And it also comes with caramelized onions, my favorite! So even though Loving Hut has quite a few other foods to offer, this one is my go-to. It should be yours, too.
I've also had Alice's Teriyaki...again, very delicious.
I also enjoy their Yakisoba and Don Ka Su (that's how it's written on the menu. I usually call it tonkatsu), but unfortunately I don't have pics of those. Here's a link to their Chicago menu (different locations have slightly different menus, I believe). So far, I've enjoyed everything I've tried there.
Last time we went there, we got a couple of desserts. Chocolate Cake and Carrot Cake.
I'm not a huge carrot cake fan, but Loving Hut is magical and of course I love their carrot cake. Chocolate one is yum too, by the way.
And, they have recently started delivering! They told me that they deliver 4 miles away, so make sure you're closer than 4 miles before getting all excited. $3 delivery fee and $15 order minimum,
Anyone else out there have thoughts on the Loving Hut? I'd love to hear them!

I just found your blog and I live in Illinois and work in the city do you know of any good vegan restaurants near North Lasalle?ReplyDelete
I found your blog a few months ago while searching for reviews of The Loving Hut.ReplyDelete
I don't have much e-contact with the vegan community here in Chi, but I want to get the word out that Wrigley Field now has some awesome veggie/vegan options. I was there last night and ordered the veggie chopped salad, expecting one similar to salads at fast-food restaurants. To my surprise, it was actually an AMAZING mix of goodness, including spinach, chickpeas, steamed asparagus and kalamata olives. It cost the same as a personal pizza.
How awesome is that?!

I would love to know some sort of calorie count for this awesome burger ... any thoughts???ReplyDelete
@Kathi, unfortunately I don't find myself on Lasalle often so I couldn't help ya there. I mainly roam the Lakeview/Wrigleyville area. If you need suggestions for those areas let me know!ReplyDelete
@Jill: That is awesome!! I'll definitely have to check that out when I'm there next!
As far as the calorie count of the burger I don't even have a guess! I asked them once though what they use for their burger and they said they use a certain company's veggie burger (wouldn't say who though) and crumble it up, then add their own veggies and spices and THEN grill it. Isn't that kind of odd? I haven't been there in a while but I still love it there, I gotta admit!

Nice to see a Loving Hut mention! I go to the Los Angeles one often, it's very good for lunch.ReplyDelete

Shadowed Autumn Leaves
From Shishinza's Dossier
Kaba, hippopotamus, are great beasts of flesh and muscle who are born on the shore but live in the waters. Though fierce and aggressive, the creatures are herbivorous and seldom bother those who respect their territory. Kaba is a ronin who has well-earned this namesake. He is a hulking practitioner of sumaido and kanabojutsu. He is a quiet and contemplative giant, however, and he spends his free time in meditation and contemplation of his place in the world. He may be a clan ronin, but, his past is not a topic we have broached often. He is my muscle and threat response, and is very helpful for maintaining order during tax season.

Looking forward
Do you ever have those times where you think you are headed in the right path, the right direction and that everything is going right for you, its all coming towards you speedily?
Then, you turn to see that you are in the wrong lane?
I don't know if you have, but sometimes I seem to run my life that way, I work by looking at the past to determine my future. I allow everyone else's decisions about what I should (and have done with my life) to determine where I am going. I use history to press the "replay" button on my life as I continue to fall into the same trap, time and time again.
This past week I stumbled upon my old livejournal, as I read through it I found some attitudes that I was peeved at myself for having, yet once again, I continue still today to allow them to replay in my mind. I thought to my self, about what was important to me at that time of my life: continuing to be a honor student, dance team, friends, my overwhelming crush on a boy who's name I can't even remember today. But what hurt the most as I read through these posts, was that many of them where about the hurt that I had allowed to consume my life. Upon browsing through the pages, I decided to pull out something that I had allowed to accumulate a thin layer of dust; my old journal. I began skimming through the pages, seeing many times that I had begun to write specific details of a life list, filled with unrealistic themes and many far fetched dreams.
But, these old posts hit a chord, I sat, pondering "what do I really want in this life, I only have one chance to do all that I can, what will it be?" This thought took along time to let my mind defragment. But once again, I pulled out my trusty quill and began to write:
So, once again, the list of true hearts desires began to flow…

I am often asked by yarn enthusiasts where I got started weaving, and what resources I recommend for someone looking to get started in weaving. Since these questions are typically asked via Instagram or other social media, I am a bit limited in the amount I am able to type up. So, I've decided to put together this little blog post with links and things to help the curious weaver get started with this excitingly addicting craft.
Note that all of this information is for weaving done on a frame/lap loom, typically used for wall hangings (but can also make smaller things such as bags and wallets or fabrics to include in other pieces). This is the most inexpensive way to start weaving, and my favorite form of weaving (for now, I'd like to get a rigid heddle or floor loom eventually so I can make longer fabrics like scarves and things, but for now I'll stick with wall hangings). I hope you enjoy this collection of my favorite weaving resources, and feel free to comment below should you know any more to share!
Getting Started: Looms
The first thing you'll need to begin weaving is a loom!
1. Wood Creek Looms - Based in California, Wood Creek Looms is a small father and daughter business that sells handmade looms. This is the shop I got my very first loom. I purchased the large size, but they have many sizes to choose from, in many beautiful finishes. They also give you some beginner tools in their loom kits as well, you can browse their shop to see the different kits they have.
2. The Unusual Pear - For my friends in the land down under, this shop may be a bit closer to home so you won't have to deal with international shipping. Rainie Williams runs this online weaving shop in Newcastle, Australia and sells many different sizes of beautiful bamboo weaving looms. She also recently started selling ROUND looms as well, which I'd like to try soon. Pretty much her whole shop is on my Etsy wishlist. I have yet to purchase anything yet, but I have heard stellar reviews and have seen so many beautiful wall hangings via Instagram made on her looms.
3. DIY Frame Loom - While there are many handmade and commercial looms out there, if you don't want to put up a large cost up front and are handy with a hammer (or know someone who can help) then this tutorial is one of many great instructional guides out there to help you make your own loom to get started
Running a natural fiber artisan yarn shop, I may be a bit biased, but I prefer to work with wool, mohair, and other animal fibers in my weavings. Of course, acrylic, nylon and other synthetic fibers can be come in beautiful colors and are less expensive, so if that's all your budget allows, don't let anyone tell you that you can't make beautiful art with these yarns.
My personal favorite yarns to use are handspun and hand-dyed yarns. You get such a unique look with these yarns. I like to put together Weaver's Yarn Packs in my Etsy shop, which are little packs of hand-dyed and handspun yarns I make myself that allow you to sample many yarns without breaking the bank buying full-size skeins of everything. With weaving wall hangings, yarns are often used in smaller bits so you may not need a whole skein of yarn for a piece. My yarn packs allow you to add to your stash so you can try different colors and textures in your work. I do not typically color coordinate them however, and don't make them with the intention for them all to be used in the same piece (though you are free to do that if you please!). It is up to you to choose the combinations of yarn you'd like to use in your work, and my yarn packs help add options to what you have to work with.
You may also see people use wool "roving" (combed top) in their work as well. Looking at the photo of my weaving above, you can see the roving as the big, textured bits that look like a cloud. This material is so fun to work with and can produce some crazy unique weavings. A quick search on Etsy for "hand-dyed roving" (or "undyed roving", if you prefer the neutral tones) will yield you endless possibilities of one of a kind roving to use in your art. There are so many wonderfully talented dyers on Etsy, it is a fantastic place to shop for roving. I have also seen shops that sell theirs in smaller increments such as by the ounce (most indie dyers sell them in 4-oz braids) so you can choose lots of different colors!
You can use yarn for your warp as well ("warp" is the vertical thread/yarn which you will weave into) however my favorite thing to use as a warp for my wall hangings is cotton thread. Regular crochet cotton thread found in yarn and hobby stores will work just fine! You can buy this in cones and spools. I also use lace-weight yarn sometimes as well, just make sure it has a high ply count (at least three plies) as this is more sturdy and will hold up better to tension.
Learning Resources
1. DIY Woven Wall Hanging - This blog post is the one that started it all for me. I found this through Pinterest when trying to figure out what those "yarn art thingies hanging on walls" were, and inspired me to give weaving a go. This blog post nails down the very basics of weaving in step by step format so you can create your very first wall hanging. Super helpful and informative!
2. The Weaving Loom - This is my favorite blog for all things weaving! Kate Tedesco is the weaver behind this blog, and she's super sweet and helpful with any questions you may have. Her weaving photos leave me hypnotized, and every single post she writes is SO informative. You are guaranteed to learn something by visiting her blog. Definitely add this page to your browser bookmarks and check by often, she is consistently coming out with new, wonderful content!
3. Tapestry Weaving: A Comprehensive Study Guide - This is a very informative book that I have in my personal fiber arts library (my book shelf is starting to overflow!) and I found it very helpful in learning the basics of weaving and it also dives into more intermediate and advanced techniques. This book focuses more on tapestry weaving, which is typically made with yarns of the same weight and is more time-intensive than textured wall hanging as it is usually more intricate and forms a picture which requires careful planning and patience. This book also contains a tutorial for making a nailed frame loom.
4. Wild Color - Because I see so many weavers interested in natural dyes and dyeing their own yarn, I find it only natural I add my absolute favorite natural dyeing book to the list. This book is like a little encyclopedia of natural dye plants, and gives SO much information. Each plant has its own section dedicated to it, with information such as locations the plant grows (some plants you may be able to find in your own back yard! and others are fairly easy to find online to purchase, such as madder root and indigo). It also gives tips for dyeing each plant, how it will react with different fibers, color swatches to show how different mordants will affect the color, and a very informative intro with the history of natural dyes and everything you need to know on how to use them. Definitely recommend this book to those looking into dyeing their own fibers!
5. The Weaving Kind - On Instagram, monthly weaving challenges to help expand your weaving. Great community to connect with other weavers and inspire each other.
I hope you found this post to be helpful. I will probably continue to add more to this as I find more wonderful resources. Feel free to suggest your favorites in the comments below, or if you have any more questions feel free to ask :)

Last night I spent a bit of time playing around with images and links, adding some pictures to the right hand side of this page. The first one shows the cover of the latest book I'm reading and if you click on the book cover you'll find a brilliant review about that particular book. Very impressive, even though I say so myself.
By clicking on the 'Next Blog' link at the top of the page I have been looking through other people's blogs. I noticed that there are quite a few of them that seem to have been abandoned and haven't been touched for several months. Could that be because they have simply got fed up with the whole idea of 'blogging', or perhaps because their lives have got a bit more exciting and they haven't got time to update their pages. Or, even worse, they've passed away! I wonder which of those categories I shall fall in to. I hope it's not the latter.
I still haven't fathomed out how to view blogs of specific topics. All I've been doing is clicking on that 'Next Blog' link at the top of the page and reaching various pages. There's an awful lot of them written in languages which I cannot understand so I have to skip past those. There is also a large number of them that seem to be commercial sites which, if I had found them in any other way, I would have simply assumed that they were just another web site. I guess I'm going to have to spend a bit more time looking at more personal blogs as I still have no idea of what I should be doing here - I'm enjoying the writing though and it's also good typing practice for me (even though it is just two-fingered typing).
I finished off yesterday's ramblings with the question "Do you WANT people to read what you are writing". I still don't have an answer to that but I think I can see which way it's going. An old school friend paid an unexpected visit last night and this page was open. Once I'd let him in to the house and into the study where I'd been sitting at my desk, I had to rush to turn off the computer to prevent him seeing what I had been doing. I'd only been putting my thoughts into writing - I hadn't been doing anything I shouldn't have been - yet I still felt embarrassed about the whole thing. If I'd had something of interest to write about it may have been different, but because it's just random 'ramblings', I thought I should keep it to myself.

I should have known. That damn sign in sheet told the whole story. It's a classic, classic tale, all too common in this industry nowadays...
I've worked my tail off the last few weeks trying to land this movie. Networking. Reading the script multiple times. Studying every word written about my character. Driving across town to the stuffy casting office in this god-forsaken heat not once, but THREE times. Prepared NINE different scenes. I opened my soul and put a rainbow of human emotions on display for five people I've never seen before in my life. I traded survival job shifts for audition times and I've postponed travel plans for my only sister's wedding all in the name of the hustle.
Well, I just found out today they decided to go with a name. Ugh, it's so cliché I almost can't stand to write it. The good news is, her offer expires tonight and if by some crazy miracle she rejects, it goes to me. But seeing as it's already 8:00 and my agent hasn't called, I'm guessing its a done deal by now.
As my agent said, "Fuck." I came close. So so close. But close only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades. There is no credit for being second in line. Sure, I beat out thousands of other girls, but there is no money attached to landing the position of first loser. All kudos to her, I'm sure she's talented and works hard as well, but damn, she just cost me about five to ten grand. The other three leads are pretty well established actors, so it would have been a great to work opposite them as well. But now it remains a "woulda."
Oh well, c'est la vie of an actor in this town. Someday the balance will tip in my favor because I'm the name instead of it being the one thing keeping me from an offer. Oh god I wish that day were here. I'm so ready for it.
Still, I do feel a little pride in the fact that judging by the sign in sheet, I was the clear underdog. I was up against talent from the biggest agencies in the world... And considering that NONE of those agents would have even given me a meeting right now let alone repped me... I feel pretty good that I almost snagged a role out from under their clients.
That's really only important to me and my agent right now, but we're the only ones who matter anyway. It's me and him against everyone else... And that scale is going to tip in our favor soon. So soon I can almost taste it.

You want to whine about welfare queens? Look at the Oil & Gas and other large PROFITABLE corporations, they just got a $1.4 Trillion welfare check. Being poor is not a moral failure, its a failure by society to take care of it's most vulnerable...and your attitude is at the core of the problem.
According to a recent report from the USDA, an increasing share of individuals who receive benefits through the federal Supplemental Nutrition Assistance program, also known as food stamps, live in households where at least one person is working.
Nearly 32 percent of SNAP households are home to at least one wage-earner, according to the most recent data on the program, compared to only 19.6 percent in 1989, as far back as USDA data is availabe.
At the same time, a decreasing share of SNAP recipients are concurrently receiving welfare benefits from other safety net programs like the Aid to Families with Dependent Children and Temporary Assistance for Needy Families programs. As of the most recent data, about 6 percent of SNAP recipients are also receiving support through these programs, compared to about 42 percent of recipients in 1989.
In Feeding America's 2014 national report, "Hunger in America," it was found that about 54 percent of the households that participated in its food banks and similar programs included at least one person who had worked within the past year. When it came to households with at least one child, that share was even higher — about 70 percent.

While my first "Best and Worst Trades of 2009" post brought me back to some of the darker days of this year, today's post allows me the opportunity to focus on a few of my better trades of 09. Though I've made plenty of decisions that afterwards often cause me to question my sanity, I have been fortunate enough to get a few things right. While June was probably my best month from a P/L standpoint, I'd say December was my best month based on my market forecast and execution. I seemed to have had the Midas touch there for awhile. My success in December was probably due to the fact that a variety of factors combined to make last month a veritable boon for volatility sellers (which defines myself more times than not). What factors were those exactly? My top two would be seasonality and volume. Over the Christmas stretch we have more holidays usually resulting in a dip in implied volatility as options seek to price in less trading days than normal. Volume also dies down to pathetic levels increasing the odds the market remains in snooze mode. So as with any instance where options are ostensibly overpriced, I pick a few choice securities and start selling volatility. If I have a directional bias, I'll opt to sell either puts or calls (or spreads); if I don't have a directional bias, I may opt to sell both. Following is a list of some of my best positions last month.
USO Jan 37 puts
GLD Jan 102 puts
RUT Jan 550-540 put spread
SPY 117-122, 102-97 Jan Iron Condor
I've taken profits on all but the call spreads on the SPY.
Today's post wraps up my 2009 year end review. Let's all have a profitable 2010!

For many men in China looking to marry a beautiful woman, the key to her heart may lie in whether the man can provide proof of home ownership. An article from the New York Times covers how women in China are looking to meet eligible bachelors who are not only successful, but wealthy, too. And the way to proving that wealth is through "real property." It certainly gives new meaning to the phrase, "no money, no honey."
Although there are few concrete ways to measure the scope of involuntary bachelorhood, more than 70 percent of single women in a recent survey said they would tie the knot only with a prospective husband who owned a home.
The NYT piece discusses how the real-estate market in China has exploded in the past eight years–as much as 800 percent. This explosion has driven up housing prices, which means there is "a generation of young people whose sole ambition is to have a piece of property under their name."
I guess real estate has supplanted cell phones as the way to engage in conspicuous consumption; at least in terms of ending one's bachelorhood.
Not all is lost on true love though. For Liu Binbin, he went on 20 "unfulfilling blind dates" before he met his true love. Said Mr. Liu, "The whole time she thought I didn't own an apartment and she still wanted me. Someone like that is rare."

It was a good week for...
HIGH PROFILE PETITIONS. The attorney general's office has asked the Arkansas Supreme Court to reconsider its 4-3 ruling that school districts can keep property tax dollars that exceed the state's per-student funding minimum. Meanwhile, Gov. Mike Beebe has asked the court for permission to file an amicus brief in the case. Beebe's legal counsel said the governor was mindful of separation of power issues and the court's "unquestioned role" in interpreting the Constitution and law. "In this case, however, the governor respectfully submits the court has erred and that a rehearing is warranted ... ."
It was a bad week for...
MIKE HUCKABEE. The former Arkansas governor, infamous for saying callous and stupid things throughout his career, outdid himself in the wake of the Newtown, Conn., school shooting. "We ask why there is violence in our schools, but we have systematically removed God from our schools," Huckabee said on Fox News. "Should we be so surprised that schools would become a place of carnage?" Later, again on Fox News, he doubled down, linking "tax-funded abortion pills" to the massacre.
ATTORNEY GENERAL DUSTIN MCDANIEL. In a statement, he admitted that he had a "limited interaction" with Hot Springs attorney Andrea "Andi" Davis, some of which was "inappropriate." The issue was forced into the open by a Dec. 3 filing in Garland County, in a divorce filed by Davis against her husband Fred Day. Day asked Davis for a series of admissions. One of them asks: "Please admit that you had sexual relations with Attorney General of the state of Arkansas Dustin McDaniel in 2011 or 2012." Davis responded: "Objection. The question asks for information irrelevant to the issues before the court and is asked solely to harass and annoy."
REP. DAVID MEEKS. The Conway Republican told the Democrat-Gazette that he didn't believe the cuts proposed by the Arkansas Department of Human Services to close a $138 million shortfall were necessary. Meeks, echoing a point many state Republicans have put forward, said through identifying waste and finding other revenue the gap can be closed. Thus far, neither Meeks nor any other Republican has been specific about waste and other funding sources. Meanwhile, DHS has already implemented aggressive cost-savings measures (see details on page 24).
WALMART. A major new investigative piece by the New York Times reveals a pattern of bribery payments last decade to clear the way for store development in Mexico and — worse — knowledge of Walmart officials about what had occurred, which it failed to report to authorities or fully investigate on its own.

Every day I read in dismay about what is wrong with Obamacare and/or Trumpcare. No administration has the guts to deal with what is really wrong with our healthcare system.
As another Herald reader succinctly wrote: "It's the vested interests of doctors, hospitals, insurers, drug companies, and malpractice lawyers who try to make as much money as possible from the sick." That is why we are in this expensive mess. Who is going to go against them?

Question by YEEH!: Mortgage???????????
I recently got a letter from my bank saying I owed them $ 199 from "late payments" on my mortgage. (you know how your mortgage is due and if you pay it late they tack on a charge) Well, everytime my husband went to pay our mortgage even if it was late, the bank teller never tacked on the charge. Anyways, they are saying their going to take us to collections for the amount due, does this mean their going to try and take our house? We have never missed a month on our mortgage, just a few times they didnt tack on the late charge…can anyone answer?
It's was late a few times because our son was sick and we spent a ton of money going back and forth to st judes. But that wasn't my question, will they try and take our house?
and we are making them on time now.

You owe the money, whether or not they neglected to charge you for it. Just pay it. And try to make those payments on time; they're negatively affecting your credit rating.
It depends on where you are located within the states, but if you have acquired a "homestead" then that protects your home from creditors who might try to place a lien on your home. As for the charges, it depends on how late they are. There is normally a 10 to 15 day grace period in which you can pay your mortgage without being late, now even though you are within the month it is due, if after that 10 to 15 day grace period, they do a percentage charge. This also depends on the type of loan you have. Try to communicate with them and ask if you can do increments of pay, along with the following months mortgage note being due. $ 199 is not a lot, so before they pay a collection agency, they will more than likely be willing to work out a payment plan with you. Remind them how you always pay your mortgage on time, and that you weren't sure that you really owed those late fees. Research your mortgage statements, as well as your bank statements and see if there is a discrepancy somewhere regarding a payment to your mortgage company. Also, if you don't have a "homestead" do go down to you local county building and find out the process and fees to getting your homestead immediately. Good Luck and be Safe…(smiles)
No, they will not take your house.They will however, turn you over to collections which will affect your future borrowing power. Pay it (even if not all in one lump sum) and don't be late again.
Sounds to me like their taking what you owe for the late payments to collections unless you pay it. I would call first thing and get it straightened out..they normally work well with you.
Good luck.

We recently produced audiovisual and entertainment elements for a tremendously successful corporate conference at one of the major convention hotels in Las Vegas. This was one of of the more innovative and engaging shows we've done this year, primarily because of the creative use of entertainment throughout the show. After two days of general sessions and educational breakouts, the entire group came together for a final review of the meeting content. The audience had a chance to show their prowess in a fast-paced game show format loosely patterned after a Hollywood Squares format. The company's execs acted as "panelists", while "contestants" were selected at random from the audience. Questions covering the conference material were thrown out to the VIP panelists, and contestants had an opportunity to "agree or disagree" with the answers. The game was a highly effective way for the audience to review key information shared in the previous sessions. And it was BIG FUN for everyone! Give us a call if you'd like to learn how this game - or others - can be tailored to your meeting needs!
The above photo is a shot of the stage just before the session. The game involves 9 panelists at specially built colorful LED or Flat screen monitor desks, with contestants and the host standing at lecterns that house much of the electronics for the game operation.
"Rockaraoke" combines the high energy impact of a live rock band with the diversity and audience participation of karaoke. This event was so successful it had to be extended by an hour to accommodate everyone who wanted to be a star for the night. It was a huge hit!

recipe 11th May 2015 by Jess
The great thing about bircher muesli (pronounced "berker" muesli) is that you can make a big batch, and as long as you keep it refrigerated, you can enjoy it as an instant breakfast every day of the week.skip to the recipe
As long as the raw ingredients are oats, milk, juice and grated apple, you can add pretty much whatever you like to it: flaxseed, nuts, dried fruit, cacao nibs, spices… You can also experiment with liquid ratios to get the consistency you want.
This is by far my favourite breakfast at the moment and ensures a super speedy morning preparation, even for the 'too busy for breakfast' crowd! The bonus of soaking the nuts beforehand is it partially digests outside of the body, giving your digestive system a helping hand.
In a large bowl, mix together all the ingredients (except the yoghurt and raspberries). You can crush the nuts into smaller pieces if you prefer.
Allow to soak for at least an hour until the oats have softened, or overnight. The mixture will thicken up once soaked.
Scoop your soaked oats out of the jar into a bowl and serve with as much yoghurt as you like. You can mix it in or dollop in on top. Top with raspberries and enjoy!

Oh baby, I forgot how much I loved movies.
It's about 3 am on a Saturday morning/Friday night. I'm just about to go to bed. I should have donee so, oh maybe, 2 hours ago, but I decided to give Steph another 15 minutes to finish watching what she was watching (Japanese Television shows... hrm.:S) and lie down on the couch and channel surf. There were a few interesting movies on, mostly halfway through. THe Crow: City of Angels (meh, not bad), Faceoff with Travolta and Nic Cage (Better meh, but still meh) and then I for some reason flip to the Family Channel and "The Rookie" with Dennis Quaid was on. It's a story about a guy who, in his mid 30's, makes a comeback as a major league baseball player.
It's late, so I'll do my patented "Keep it short" bit. This movie reminded me why I love movies so much. Yes, it was predictable. Yes, is was fluff. But also yes, to the tenth degree, it was heartwarming and entertaining. It made me feel something. I was happy when the nice parts of the movie were on. I was worried when the not so nice parts were on. I wanted to cheer when Jim Morris (Quaid) threw strike 3 in the fairy tale ending was happening. I had a lump in my throat when he made up with his dad. I felt something. It's movies that can do this for you, for anyone, if you let them.
There are so many movies in this world that are good, bad, or indifferent. See one, see them all. It doesn't matter. Let them be for you what they are for me. Motivational, and inspiring.
Thank you and good night. :)

The Link Between Training and Success
More confidence, built in daily training (body, mind, and spirit) have all been linked, in one way or the other, to the highest paid and most successful individuals. In my observation of successful individuals, there are a few primary characteristics that stand out in these people:
- They have an over-optimistic and almost unrealistic belief in what they do.
- They have supreme confidence in themselves, almost to a fault.
- They are obsessive in their preparation in everything they do including physically training their body.
- They have a way to escape or relax their obsessive, idea driven mind, and can calm their "demons" through spiritual practices such as meditation or prayer.
- They live with a purpose and have the extreme ability to focus on how to accomplish this purpose.
- They fail and fail and fail and refuse to give up no matter what.
- They never take no for an answer
Training your body has an amazing and powerful effect on sustaining the characteristics of a highly successful individual. If your goal is to be the best at what you do, to become the most valuable person you can become, why wouldn't you take your health, energy, and confidence more seriously?
And if being the best, making more money, and living a more productive and influential life are important to you, than maybe these 6 reasons can help change your thoughts on it.
1. Training Improves Level's of Energy: Health is energy. What is the real point of health? It is efficiency. It is your physical body performing at it's highest levels to create and sustain the energy to deliver your purpose to the world. Thomas Fuller simply stated, "The difference between men is energy."
2. Training Improves Focus and Concentration: Recent studies have shown that even one bout of exercise (even better than caffeine) can improve your mental and cognitive performance throughout the day. The long term response improves brain chemicals critical in expanding new nerve connections and brain tissue in the area of the brain for higher learning.
3. Training Improves Sense of Achievement: Successful people thrive on getting things done and personal achievement. In all aspects of their life, they compete. After completing your training there is always a sense of accomplishment. Over time, persevering through a training regimen will do wonders for your confidence and your overall desire to improve will be apparent.
4. Training Improves Physical Appearance: Training improves body image and physical appearance. Feeling attractive never hurts when speaking of confidence. Though confidence is much more than looks, how you perceive your body changes your presence.
5. Training Improves Transitions in Mindset: Success, focus, and perseverance can bring high amounts of stress. At the highest levels it can be unbearable, even lethal. Training, like mediation, gives the mind a break. It can improve anxious, negative, and depressive thoughts by releasing chemical substances resulting in positive feelings and helping to relieve stress.
6. Training Improves Your Attendance: People who train are generally more healthy than their counterparts. By building immunity and decreasing your chances of major health risks, you show up more often. You not only show up, but you show up with energy and purpose. The more days you show up, the more impact you make, the more successful you can become.

Earlier this year I went to a meal building event at Supper Central out at Kenaston Common. The event was sponsored by the Manitoba Chicken Producers. It was a fun and tasty evening. So when they opened up the opportunity to the fans to attend another session, I jumped at the chance. After all, you can't have too many chicken dinners.
After church last Sunday, I headed down to the Supper Central site. Oddly, it was one of the few occasions where bus travel on a Sunday was easier than on a weekday evening.
I had been through the process before. I figured I'd wait a bit while others prepared their meals. This was great because it allowed me time to chat with some people. I also tried the hors d'oeuvres prepared for our enjoyment. These included a chicken corn chowder and "Colonel's Got Nothin' On Us" Oven Fried Chicken.
One of my claims about food is that the act of eating together is highly important. Related to this is the preparation of food together. Times with others in the kitchen are equally as formative as times spent around the table.
When it came time to prepare my meals I was sharing a station with Shel Zolkewich. She also writes a hunting column for the Winnipeg Free Press. She's one of the first people I got to know through being involved in Social Media. Working with Shel is always a lot of fun. We also shared the station with Natalie Bell, who is the author of the PegCityLovely blog. Up until Sunday, I had only interacted with Natalie through the MB FoodBloggers Facebook page, but sharing space at the work station made for a laughter filled afternoon.
The first meal we prepared was the Mexican Stuffed Chicken. The picture below shows the chicken just before I put it in the oven. The next picture is of the chicken plated. Served with Spanish rice, included in the meal from Supper Central. I added creamed corn, my choice instead of sweet corn.
Home made Fried Chicken
The next item I made was the "Colonel's Got Nothin' On Us" Oven Fried Chicken & Honey Carrots. This item cooks up real well. I used a non-stick, rather than a regular greased pan, and I found that the crumb on the bottom didn't cook up quite as well, my error. However, there is plenty of flavour in both dishes. In the Mexican Stuffed Chicken the sweet and heat of the cream cheese and jalapeno filling gives a great contrast in tastes.
Keep Your Eyes Open for Chicken Deals
Karen Green Armstrong of the Manitoba Chicken Producers and Susie Erjavec Parker of Sparker Strategy Group put together a great event with the help of Supper Central. Want to get in on the fun? Like the Manitoba Chicken Producers Facebook page. Then keep your eyes open for future events of various sorts.

it's old news that i love a good leopard print. i think that it works so well as a neutral and really adds another dimension to what can be an otherwise simple outfit. i had a pair of jeffrey campbell leopard flats for the longest time and they finally reached their end recently. while looking for a suitable replacement for them, i've stumbled across some other pretty gorgeous leopard print pieces that i'm now coveting!
i will definitely be getting those club monaco flats to replace my worn and torn jeffrey campbell pair! i also adore anything by equipment, so i'll be heavily considering that top as well. what do you think of wearing such a loud animal print? do you love it or is it too intimidating? i personally can't get enough of it, as long as it's in tasteful doses ;) !

Hi, I have got a little problem with __setitem__ method. It works fine in single class, but if class member is instance of the same class method __setitem__ doesn't work on class member but on class. Here is an example:
Here is a class with __setitem__ method:
class MyClass:
attr = {}
def __setitem__(self, key, value):
self.attr[key] = value
and here i work with the class
>>> obj = MyClass()
>>> obj['key1'] = "value1"
>>> obj.attr
{'key1': 'value1'}
>>> obj.newinstance = MyClass()
>>> obj.newinstance.attr
{'key1': 'value1'}
>>> obj.newinstance['key1'] = "value2"
>>> obj.attr
{'key1': 'value2'}
as you see __setitem__ on newinstance works with self.attr from parent class. How can I hack this?

If you're a foodie, you must head to Librivox and download a fantastic audiobook called "Bohemian San Francisco."
The book, written by Clarence Edwords in 1914, details the author's search for interesting culinary experiences in the beautiful city by the bay. He presses favorite chefs to share their recipes, and provides details for his readers.
He visits Chinatown and laments the her loss of charm after the 1906 earthquake. Apparently pre-earthquake Chinatown was an unbelievable experience for an American, full of mysterious alleys, exotic sights, sounds, and flavors. He barely recognizes the "new" post-earthquake Chinatown, and complains about gentrification and a general watering-down of the culture he remembered.
He spends time sampling Italian fare in North Beach, when Italian was spoken widely in the streets. He and his friends are invited to a lavish Japanese dinner, which is recounted in exquisite detail.
He describes the restaurant scene in the now-extinct Barbary coast, and clues us in to the early Mexican cuisine of San Francisco.
Most interestingly, he describes how he and his friends go "slumming." Then, as now, upper-class folk sought new experiences by traveling into the rougher areas of town for an evening's entertainment.
The stories in the book sound fresh even today, and make you wonder what happened to these long-defunct restaurants of yore. Little is know about Clarence Edwords, but if he were alive today, he'd probably be hosting a show on the Food Network.

Seasonal variations on the content of harpagoside in Scrophularia scorodonia L. (Scrophulariaceae) were investigated using plants collected monthly from January to December in 1995. During growth of this species the percentage of harpagoside was the highest during the maximum development of the plant, specially in July. Harpagoside levels differed among leaves, stems and flowers of S. scorodonia. Leaves were distinguished from other plant parts by higher levels of harpagoside. Drying at ambient temperature influenced the yield of harpagoside compared with the results of plant drying by microwave.

Match commander David Duckenfield and former chief constable Norman Bettison are among those being prosecuted over the disaster.
Criminal charges have been brought against six individuals, including former senior police officers, over the Hillsborough disaster.
:: David Duckenfield, who was the South Yorkshire Police match commander on the day of the disaster
:: Sir Norman Bettison, a former South Yorkshire Police chief inspector and superintendent
:: Graham Henry Mackrell, who was Sheffield Wednesday Football Club's company secretary and safety officer at the time of the disaster
:: Peter Metcalf, a solicitor who acted for the South Yorkshire Police
:: Donald Denton, a former South Yorkshire Police chief superintendent
:: Alan Foster, a former South Yorkshire Police detective chief inspector
Ninety-six men, women and children were killed in the stadium crush on 15 April 1989.
Duckenfield has been charged with the manslaughter by gross negligence of 95 of the 96 Liverpool FC fans who died at the FA Cup semi-final.
The CPS was unable to charge him for the manslaughter of the 96th victim, Anthony Bland, because he died almost four years after the disaster.
Bettison is accused of four counts of misconduct in public office.
These charges relate to telling alleged lies about his involvement in the aftermath of Hillsborough and the culpability of fans, the Crown Prosecution Service said.
Denton, Foster and Metcalf are charged with doing acts with intent to pervert the course of justice relating to material changes made to witness statements.
Mackrell is charged with three offences relating to health and safety and safety at sports grounds.
Barry Devonside, whose son Christopher, 18, was killed in the disaster, pumped his fist as he emerged from the meeting with the lawyers and other relatives of the 96 victims.
He said: "It was only right and proper that we fought for our loved ones... I was frightened we were going to be let down again.
"We have been smacked in the face on a number of occasions. The families have acted with the utmost of dignity."
He went on: "Everybody applauded when it was announced that the most senior police officer on that particular day will have charges presented to him."
Announcing the charges, Sue Hemming, from the Crown Prosecution Service, said: "The suspects referred to the CPS included individuals and organisations.
"Following these thorough investigations and our careful review of the evidence in accordance with the code for Crown prosecutors I have decided that there is sufficient evidence to charge six individuals with criminal offences."
The defendants will appear at Warrington Magistrates' Court in August, with the exception of Duckenfield who will not appear at this stage for legal reasons.

Romance and a Honeymoon (Romance Series)
Romance and a Piece of Cake (#1 in the Romance Series)
Emily was making a cake to prepare for her friend Sally's birthday party. When suddenly, her friend's hot looking brother arrived early. He's had a crush on Emily since he was young. Does she finish the cake in time for the party with all of the added heat in the kitchen?
Romance and a Proposal (#2 in the Romance Series)
While Paul was in the shower, his phone rang. When Emily took the phone from his pants pocket a small folded piece of paper fell on the ground. She picked up the paper, opened it, and read it. Her eyes lit up, and her hands began to shake. What was on that paper? Would it change her life forever?
Romance and a Bachelor Party (#3 in the Romance Series)
Emily told Paul that she did not think they should have bachelor and bachelorette parties. Paul agreed not to have one. Does Paul fall under the peer pressure of his good friends? Or, does he stay true to his word?
Romance, a Billionaire, and a Jealous Fiance (#4 in the Romance Series)
"After you dropped off my grandma's wedding band yesterday at the jewelers, when did they say we could pick it up?" Emily asked.
Paul reached into his back pocket, and his face went flush as he let out a gasp. His wallet was gone. Her grandmother's ring was in his wallet, because he had not dropped it off to the jeweler yet. He knew he had his wallet the night before at his bachelor party, but it was missing in the morning. Emily did not know about the party, and this was not the time to tell her. He would find the right moment later to talk to her about it. A million things ran through his mind about how to respond to her question.
"Uh… They said it would be ready Friday. They have to clean and size it, and that takes a few days," Paul blurted out. "I will pick it up after work Friday for you."
Feeling so bad for lying to her, Paul had to get the wallet back before she realized what had happened. He was on a mission to find it, when his estranged billionaire uncle showed up unexpectedly to visit.
The handsome billionaire realized he had feelings for his nephew's fiance after spending time with her.
Does Paul get the wallet back before Emily discovers the truth?
Does the billionaire reveal his feelings of love for Emily?

Az ünnepélyes díjátadóra a 15. Design Hét rendezvénysorozat keretein belül kerül sor október 12-én a Bálna Budapestben található Hygge rendezvényhelyszínen.
Dies Natalis ISI Yogyakarta XXXIII, Postgraduate Program
Before introducing ephemeral sculpture as a form of artistic expression it is inevitable to describe the process that lead to the legitimatisation of temporal materials by the millennium and a widespread usage of them in contemporary fine arts at the beginning of the twenty-first century.
Artists survived those hard times of dictatorship by following the most different strategies. The desire to escape from the suffocating political atmosphere almost predestined those attracted to nature to voluntary exile from towns. Having graduated from different art centres and universities, several artists fled back to their birth-place, in some cases to tiny villages.
For almost seventy years, art education has been an integral part of higher education in Eger, the history of which goes back to two and a half centuries. Up to the early 1990s, the image of the department founded in 1948 was defined by the training of teachers of drawing within the framework of the double major teacher training system. From 1993 the education has been specialised and as a major of Drawing and Visual Communication the training was entirely structured around visual experience. Since the introduction of the Bologna system in 2007, the education is carried out in three Bachelor programmes: Visual representation (with specialisations in painting and graphic design), Digital representation (with specialisations in electrography, web design and animation) and Plastic representation (environmental art). The university level training at the Department began in 2008. An MA teacher's degree of Visual and Environmental Design can be attained for eight years, and the Graphic Design MA programme started in 2013. The academic year of 2015/16 marked a turning point in the history of the institute since the Visual Arts Institute was established in autumn 2015 and divided into the Department of Fine Arts and the Department of Media and Design. Furthermore, as a fulfilment of a century-old dream the institution itself will be declared a university in July 2016 called Eszterházy Károly Egyetem. As this short historical overview reveals, the teacher of drawing training having a long tradition has been transformed significantly over the past decade and in the broader framework of art dissemination it has moved towards the direction of artist education. This allows us to provide numerous choices to our students in the field of visual education.
Relying on the Institute's ever-expanding infrastructure, our goal is to train highly qualified professionals who can play their part as autonomous artists in the professional force field, who have a more comprehensive insight into the issues of visual experience than a teacher of drawing with traditional knowledge and who are prepared to meet, in compliance with European standards, the emerging needs both in education and creative industry.
We believe that only creative people with a solid professional knowledge, who are familiar with and able to apply the latest techniques and who give a sensitive response to the issues of contemporary arts are able to comply with this stated goal. Therefore, in addition to creative exercises we firmly require during the training classical drawing and professional knowledge, the confident use of the latest technical tools, and in respect of theory not only the knowledge of art history but also the awareness of contemporary art theory. In possession of this diverse and extensive knowledge, our students may become professionals, either artists, creative experts or teachers, who are confident in making decisions in matters concerning their profession, and most importantly, whose artistic or educational activities will not be determined by uncertainty due to lack of professionalism.
We are aware of the fact that our work as tutors and organizers goes far beyond the 3- or 5-year period that students spend here, or that it goes even beyond our students' professional success. Our graduate students, working as artists or educators, will greatly affect the visual culture of a community or an area across multiple generations. They will be the designers of objects around us, and creators to develop our visual environment. They will teach the next generation aesthetic sensibility, high standards of visual experience and openness to the reception of the arts of their time. Beside the tutorial job, the teachers at the Institute lay a great emphasis on that our students have opportunities to place their works and the results achieved in context. To this end, we have developed professional relationships with national, cross-border, European and Far Eastern educational and art institutions. Thanks to these co-operations our students have had the opportunity to learn, create or exhibit in a number of art colonies and exhibitions in Hungary, in art institutions in Oradea, Cluj, Košice, as well as in higher educational institutions in India, Taiwan, Indonesia, Korea and Japan. Of course, this relationship network operates on the basis of reciprocity, which involves that our Institute receives students and tutors from partner institutions. Many of them come to us to study here for a semester and to participate in our art colony or in the exhibitions that we organise. These occasions have a great motivational force and provide a huge boost in daily work. Students who participate in such primary events on the basis of their performance, beyond the fact that they can measure themselves in an international environment, or even in the country's most prestigious institute, become part of a professional contact network that they can benefit from for a lifetime.

Brockovich and Beyond: Five Famous Class Action Lawsuits
Erin Brockovich may be the most famous class action plaintiff—so famous, in fact, that Julia Roberts played her in a movie named after her. But she's certainly not the only lead plaintiff to claim restitution from a misbehaving corporation, not to mention the thousands of other plaintiffs behind each case who may not even know about their involvement until they receive settlement checks.
How Class Action Suits Work
According to the legal-consulting Web site FreeAdvice.com, there are three requirements for certification of a class action lawsuit: the claim must be deemed legal; the group of plaintiffs must have the same complaint and be of such size that individual claims would be too time-consuming and costly for the court; and the lead plaintiff must stand to represent the entire class fairly and accurately, and ensure that monetary awards are distributed appropriately.
Once attorneys have obtained certification from the court, the original plaintiffs must notify potential claimants of the lawsuit through mail and media. Those notified may opt in to the lawsuit or choose not to participate. Here's where it gets tricky. If an individual joins the suit, she will be unable to pursue future claims against the company. If she fails to opt out by missing the deadline to do so, she will still be represented in the case and will forfeit future claims, regardless of the court's decision.
That's a great reason to read all your mail carefully.
Pacific Gas and Electric
With Erin Brockovich as lead plaintiff, attorneys of the class action lawsuit against Pacific Gas and Electric (PG&E) in 1993 alleged that the company was aware that harmful chemicals—especially hexavalent chromium, also known as chromium(VI)—used in production were seeping into the groundwater and contaminating the water supply in the surrounding town of Hinkley, California. As a result of ingesting chromium(VI), Hinkley residents became ill with various forms of cancer and fertility problems, among other health issues.
According to David Seaman of MainStreet.com, the PG&E case resulted in the largest settlement ever paid in a direct action lawsuit in U.S. history. The court ruled in favor of the Hinkley citizens in 1996, and the energy company was forced to pay a total of $295 million to 1,100 people (about $268,000 per person).
