Where's Your Focus, Money or Customer? : Where's Your Focus, Money or Customer? By: Andrew Henry Is your website Really useful? I had a 'rep' in yesterday who was telling me he had a website, not realising I'm a man of many talents he was telling me about all the new companies he was working with and the great products he could offer and reminded me to go to his website. When he'd finished, I asked him:- "what is the purpose of your website?" a question which he couldn't answer.

Avoid The Big Advertising Mistakes : Avoid The Big Advertising Mistakes By: Robert Warren Is your advertising copy getting the results you want? If not, look at your current marketing to see if you're making one of the major copywriting mistakes: Selling features instead of benefits. Telling your customer that your "fabulous new ALF-400 comes complete with AeroScan and BandControl technologies!" doesn't actually tell them anything.

Ten Ways to Simplify Your Life : In this very fast paced world, it seems impossible to simplify our lives. But think about this, how much time and energy do you waste on the unnecessary?

We often make life much more complicated than it needs to be and somehow we have convinced ourselves that our lives must be filled to max.

Thousands of Armenians chanted outside the Turkish Consulate in Los Angeles Wednesday to commemorate the massacre of some 1.5 million of their ancestors 98 years ago -- a genocide that has yet to be officially recognized by the U.S.
Chanting "We will fight, we will fight, until the end!" in Armenian, the large crowd decried decades of denial by modern day Turkey that a genocide occurred during the time of the Ottoman Empire.
PHOTOS: Armenians protest at Turkish Consulate to end genocide denial
Among them was Glendale resident Armen Aroutiounian, 19, who called it a "pathetic" political game that after 98 years, the United States and Turkish governments refuse to recognize the genocide.
"Armenian people need closure," he said, adding that he takes part in the annual protests almost every year. "More voices means more opinions, and more opinions means more leniency toward recognition."
Dozens of "Hye Riders" motorcycle club members roared their engines on Wilshire Boulevard, while cyclists with the Armenian Cycling Assn. — clad in red, blue and orange cycling suits — sat nearby on their bicycles.

How do you unblock a friend on facebook
By Furqan Zulfikar — Sunday, October 8, 2017 — Who
Before you being the process it's worth keeping in mind that uncloging a person will not automatically add the individual back to your friends listing. If you wish to end up being buddies with this individual once more, you'll have to send them a new buddy request.
In future, a less complicated method of not seeing someone's bothersome posts is to unfollow them as opposed to obstructing them. To do this, untick the following box within the cover photo location of their account.
How Do You Unblock A Friend On Facebook
Tip One
Click the lock icon in the upper-right corner of your homepage and choose 'Just how do I quit someone from troubling me?'.
Step 2
Now choose 'Sight All Blocked Users'.
Step 3
Click the 'Unblock' switch beside the name of the person you intend to unclog and confirm in the next box. You have actually currently unblocked that individual and also could additionally send them a brand-new close friend request.

About The Formby Blog
This blog started in 2006 and over the years there have been many stories published here. In this the latest iteration I'm experimenting with telling 'serials' or publishing a series of stories around a theme. I'll still publish short single topic news items and the headlines will appear in the column to the right. But there's also a parallel 'live feed' which is likely to feature a multi-part story around a theme over the passage of several days.
I hope you like this new approach, it's a form of 'slow live-blogging', I'm a fan of all things 'slow', food, travel, radio, film and video.
This form also opens up the possibilities for a prolonged conversation between me and the reader. It's a form of an interactive magazine. Let me know what you think. Use the comment link at the foot of the story.
About me.
I am a retired Senior Lecturer in Teacher Education. I became interested in 'New Media' while I was a student at St Mary's College, Twickenham, where I studied Drama alongside Pete Postlethwaite and others.
I have maintained an interest in 'New Media' throughout my personal and professional life. I like photography, video and audio production, designing websites, local politics and crown green bowling.
I am particularly interested in the development of 'hyperlocal' blog sites. I have a long history of involvement in public affairs. I first stood for election in 1979. I was eventually elected to serve as a ward councillor for Linacre ward, Sefton MBC in 1980. I served until I retired from Sefton in 1987.
For several years afterwards, I was a Green party Member and served very briefly as Co-Chair. I stood for Parliament 3 times since 1979. Then I became a member of Formby Parish Council(2003-2011) and Little Altcar Parish Council(1995-2004 and November 2012 - May 2015). I was Chair of the 10 Parish Councils for Sefton for a number of years and also represented them as a member of Sefton MBC's Local Strategic Partnership.

We have recently had a very successful couple of days at the Portishead Show.
We met lots of people, made lots of friends and sold lots of honey.
The only disappointment was the low number of entries in the honey classes. It is entry into these classes that the shows depend on for their survival, and there is a danger they will wither on the vine unless better supported.
Our next show is Tickenham Flower Show on Saturday August 16th.
The classes are virtually identical to those in our branch show; the schedule and entry form can be found here .
If you wish to sell your honey at the show it is on the condition that you enter your honey in the show. We would also ask that you help on the stand.
If you have no honey to show there are still classes for honey cake, biscuits and fudge.
Please make an effort to enter and make the show even more successful.
If you are able to help on the stand please contact Phil Clemente.
Later in the year (Saturday September 13th) we have The Winscombe Michaelmas Show, hopefully you will all have some honey extracted by then.

Birla House ( Gandhi Smriti )
5, Tees January Marg, New Delhi, DL 110001
Phone : 011 2301 2843
Gandhi Smriti formerly known as Birla House or Birla Bhavan, is a museum dedicated to Mahatma Gandhi, situated on Tees January Road, formerly Albuquerque Road, in New Delhi, India. It is the location where Mahatma Gandhi spent the last 144 days of his life and was assassinated on January 30, 1948. It was originally the house of the Indian business tycoons, the Birla family. It is now also home to the Eternal Gandhi Multimedia Museum, which was established in 2005.
The 12-bedroom house was built in 1928 by Ghanshyamdas Birla. Sardar Patel and Mahatma Gandhi were frequent guests of the Birlas. During his final stay, Mahatma Gandhi stayed here from 9 September 1947 to 30 January 1948 when he was assassinated. Jawaharlal Nehru wrote to Ghanshyamdas Birla seeking to turn part of the Birla House in to a memorial. Ghanshyamdas was rather reluctant to give up the house with associated memories. The Birla House was purchased from KK Birla, in 1971, by the Government of India, after protracted and tough negotiations, in which, according to some reports, he even included the cost of fruit trees in the sale price. Eventually KK Birla, sold the property to the Government for Rs 5.4 million and seven acres of urban land in exchange, which was considered a very profitable deal. Birla House opened for the public on 15 August 1973, renamed the Gandhi Smriti (or Gandhi Remembrance). The museum in the building houses a number of articles associated with Gandhi's life and death. Visitors can tour the building and grounds, viewing the preserved room where Gandhi lived and the place on the grounds where he was shot while holding his nightly public walk. Gandhi was shot during his prayers at the place where Martyr's Column now stands.
The Martyr's Column now marks the place where Gandhi, the "Father of the Nation" was assassinated.
The Gandhi Smriti or Birla House is located at 5 Tees January Marg, a couple of kilometres from the Connaught Place, one of the Central Business District's of New Delhi.
Outside the house stands a pillar that contains a swastika symbol. The prominence of the pillar means that it has been used as a visual example of the way the ethical meaning of the swastika symbol has changed in the West in the 20th century. The same pillar also contains the Sanskrit symbol for the meditation sound, Om.

I'm currently at Gold Coast, Australia. Yesterday I boarded my plane at 21:45.
Then there's a pretty and lovely girl who looks like a mix sat in front of me. I dozed off rather quickly after the plane had lifted off. The next thing I knew was that when I woke up the sky is bright and many people also started to wake up one by one. The atmosphere became a bit lively in the morning. The plane touched down at 5:30 (7:30 local time) at Coolangatta Airport.
At the terminal, me and my family met an officer named Charles twice: once he checked our passports, and once scanning our luggage. Then we headed towards Surfers Paradise by bus.
Topless under sun and sit on grass. Oh so common.
The white guy behind my father was actually eating a banana.
Our luggage.
The journey there took us about 20 minutes. On the way there, I noticed something among Australians: their hair can be classified into 4 general colours:
(Lol there really are young girls with natural white-coloured hair. And they're hot.)
Something that I noticed is that the houses and buildings here are modern. Many of the buildings here are modernly designed.
Homo sapiens Caucasus urbanus reading book while lying on green grass.
Our apartment is called "Tiki Village" (derived from some local aboriginal language perhaps). The moment I stepped into the lobby,
I saw a fucking hot blonde sitting on a sofa reading her book I saw a girl sleeping on the sofa. Located right at the centre of Surfers Paradise and a mere 5 minutes walk from the beach, the apartment is a very strategic place to stay (by the way, an apartment is way, way better than a hotel). The apartment is so neat and cunning and it comes with a Jacuzzi. Moreover, it's facing a river and there are so many big, bungalow houses beside the river. The scene is really nice. Here's some photo of the unit I'm staying in.
Then we left the hotel and walked to the beach. Frankly speaking, the number of pretty, sweet, hot, sexy girls here are overwhelming. There is simply so so so many hot girls here! Moreover, they ALL wear bikinis. Yeah, ALL. No exceptions. The beach is filled with so many smoking hot girls in so-little-fabrics bikinis (in fact, western countries follows a rather peculiar rule: the less fabric a swim-suit has, the more expensive it is). In whichever angle at whatever moment you'll see pretty girls. Pretty girls are everywhere here. Also, some of the girls wear bikinis into shopping complex (just beside the beach). Guys will also show their muscular body and wear topless into shopping malls.
The people there are friendly too. Once in a shopping centre, I was looking around and suddenly my eyes met with a blonde girl's. She smiled and said "hello" and waved at me. I was a bit shocked though, but nevertheless I smiled and waved back to her. heheh. Then there was this woman working at Hard Rock Cafe retailer who really enjoys her life. She'll sing with the music suddenly while talking to you and smile all the time to you. There was also a waiter at some restaurant we went in that smiles at you all the time. Oh she's definitely sweet. Also, at a Japanese restaurant called "Kamikaze Teppanyaki" near the place I stay, there's a very very pretty Japanese girl. She. is. so. B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L. Period.
At night the street is also very lively- but everyone changed their clothing: young women changed into beautiful and elegant dresses, young men... sorry I didn't put much attention to them. I only pay attention to women. It's totally different from daytime when they all wear casually and lightly. Me and my parents thought wrongly- we sore short pants out. Once again we wore the wrong clothing (during daytime we wore long pants and long sleeves). The atmosphere was very nice, with young and old people all over the overly-crowded Irish bars, and loud live rock band playing. Many people smoke there including girls. Well that's too bad. I absolutely hate smokers. But actually they don't smoke. Only the cigarettes are smoking. They're just suckers. And blowers, too (吞烟吐雾派). Then I went to the "Kamikaze Teppanyaki" restaurant take my dinner (yaya I'm stalking the girl). The Japanese foods are so nice!
And I took many photos of this beautiful girl.
There are many polices here because, you know, the people here like to drink, and when they drink they got drunk, and when people are drunk they start to do things, molest chicks, drive onto pedestrian roads, stole stuffs (I am a witness. The incident happened on day 2. Refer to the next post), and all.
My so-called "artistic" blurring without subject (It is almost impossible to do it on a compact camera, but I still did it).
The bar was full of people, chicks, babes, etc., loud and crowded, drunk and crazy.
And at night it's so freakin' cold although it's summer time. It's as if I'm at Genting.

As I run out of work, I feel the raindrops fall with full force on my head. Without a second thought, I quickly pull my hood over my head to protect my ears, my most prized possessions. It's December and winter is just starting, and with it comes water – a whole lot of it, if we're "lucky." Furthermore, it's mikveh night.
I've always had a love-hate relationship with water. It's the force that has created the "me versus them." For my entire life, water has been the entity that made me stand solo, acting as a casual observer, forcing myself to be ever so cognizant of my insecurities, differences, and limitations. My disability.
I have been blessed to have progressive hearing loss. At five years old, I was diagnosed with mild sensorineural loss. "Don't worry; your hearing loss shouldn't deteriorate drastically over the years. If it does, you'll be well into your older years," which calmed all of my nerves hearing this from a respected medical professional. It sure did not feel like a mild loss seeing that hearing aids are not waterproof and I was growing up in Florida, where water camps and beach bumming were part of one's extracurricular agenda. And it sure did not remain a mild loss. I realized as an adult that having progressive hearing loss made me a candidate and blessed recipient of a cochlear implant in one ear – something I always thought was reserved for the "deaf." I guess I'm one of those now. [Read more…]

"I thought the coverage was real good," he said. "I thought there were some things that were one-sided that irked me.
"We had guys in position to make plays and we didn't make them.
"Give the quarterback some credit. He put some balls out there. (Receivers) did a great job of pushing off all night. "Give them credit for that."

Entries in PS Move (1)
Lykta Technical Bits
Lykta requires accurate positioning indoors, and the road to a functional solution has seen a couple of (educational) dead ends along the way. With the horror experience starting to come together, I think it was time to start off by talking a bit about the challenges we've been facing.
Many location-aware apps use GPS, but this provides at best an accuracy down to a couple of meters outdoors, and is even more imprecise indoors. Our current solution is based heavily on Sony's Playstation Move system and their Move.Me API, which provides sub-centimeter accuracy in positioning in an area of about 3.5x4 meters, as well as very accurate orientation tracking. However it is a rather closed system, as the calculations on the data from the controllers and tracking camera are all done in an actual PS3 system running special server software, with the position and orientation data sent over network to a computer. The picture below explains our current setup.
When we started the project we had heard about this cool thing called sensor fusion, where different sensor data, e.g. that from the gyros, accelerometers and the compass of a smartphone, is combined to a more accurate whole. We hoped we could use this to calculate the position and orientation of the phone. We managed to create an algorithm that made it possible to track the orientation, but this was very sensitive to compass disturbances.
The data from the smartphone sensors was far from accurate enough to use for position tracking however. Our first solution used a ceiling-mounted Wiimote as a wireless IR-camera to track strong IR-LEDs on the handheld unit. However it was hard to cover a wide enough area as the Wiimote camera has a narrow field of view.
We had a closer look at the PS Move and realized it had great accuracy for positioning. A camera detects the position and size of the glowing ball on the controller, and from this the controller position can be calculated in relation to the camera. Sony's Move.Me API, which we ultimately chose to use, did not seem to be accessible outside the US, so we started off with the open source PS Move API by Thomas Pearl. We wrote a Unity plugin for it and got to try the experimental orientation tracking capabilities. They worked, but at the time they had problems with drifting which required constant recalibration, something that would be tricky to do in a real use context.
When we finally inquired about the Move.Me software we were lucky and got in touch with just the right person at Sony, and got hold of the Move.Me server software surprisingly quickly. It turned out to surpass our expectations, as it continually calibrates orientation on the fly by comparing movement according to the camera image with data from the sensors in the wand. An additional bonus is that position and orientation data is given relative to flat ground. However, one hard-coded limit that hits us hard however is the maximum range of 3.5 meters, which gives a pretty small play area.

Coroners Case – First Impressions
'The risk of falls confronts every older person, in every aged care facility, in every country. Despite some gains in prevention, and better post-fall management, the harm from falls remains a major cause of injury and injury-related deaths in older persons and residents. It is also important to consider this in the context of the most recent release of the next draft by the Commonwealth Government concerning aged care quality standards. The general expectation is that this will be part of a package of legislative amendments to be tabled in Parliament later this month.
Case No: 2012 3130 Précis author: Carmel Young RNCCM, Department of Forensic Medicine, Monash University
Clinical Summary
Ms Vv was a 76-year-old female who resided in a RACS located in a seaside town where she required high level care. Her past medical history included dementia, Parkinson's disease, and anxiety. She had declining cognitive function with a hearing impairment and was nonverbal. One winter's day, Ms Vv had an unwitnessed fall in her room at approximately midday. Upon finding her, the Personal Care Assistant (PCA) sought the help of a second PCA to get Ms Vv back to bed. As no registered nurse or state enrolled nurse (SEN) was on duty at that time, a SEN from another area of the facility was asked to review Ms Vv. The facility's manager was also asked to review Ms Vv some time after the fall. The General Practitioner (GP) was then notified, and it was decided not to transfer Ms Vv to hospital, but to monitor her condition at the nursing home.
Four hours after the fall, Ms Vv's family came to visit, found her in distress, and immediately asked for a reassessment. As a result of that second assessment another phone call was placed to the GP and Ms Vv was transferred via ambulance to the hospital. Imaging tests revealed a fractured C7 vertebrae, a fractured neck of femur, an acute subdural haematoma and a subarachnoid haemorrhage. After discussions with the family, Ms Vv was provided with comfort care and died five days later.
The cause of death following an external examination by the forensic pathologist was determined to be complications of head and neck injuries sustained in a fall. The contributing factors were Parkinson's disease, dementia and chronic subdural haematoma
When the family were advised that the coroner intended to close the case as a chambers finding (i.e. without holding an inquest), they raised concerns about the care and management post-incident. The coroner then decided to investigate the matter further and statements were obtained from staff at the RACS. These statements were given to the family to consider whether their concerns had been addressed. These documents included RACS progress notes along with the facility's policy about falls assessment. The matter was listed as a mention/ directions hearing three years after the incident. As no firm conclusion was reached on the matter, the coroner listed the case for an inquest. The inquest was held over two days, four months later, and involved the RACS staff and provider as well as two general practitioners.
At the inquest, the first SEN who examined Ms Vv considered that she needed to go to hospital. The SEN was concerned about the 'head strike' and that Ms Vv's pupils were pinpoint. The SEN said that her original notes "went missing", but as she had kept her own notes she was able to make retrospective notes when asked to go into the facility the next day. The RACS manager who attended noted that Ms. Vv was smiling at her and did not appear to be in pain. She explained that the curtains had been pulled closed in the room to check the pupil reaction and she found the pupils were brisk and reacting to light.The RACS manager checked the range of movement of Ms Vv's legs and arms, and was told by the SEN that Ms Vv was usually quite stiff. The RACS manager was not aware that Ms V was on aspirin but was told of the possible head strike.The RACS manager also said that she had not made any contemporaneous notes of her examination and assessment, nor of her discussion with the GP. The coroner noted that observations were undertaken for only one hour after the fall. The nurse who was asked to perform the observations was not told how long to do them for, and so stopped after one hour. The GP at the inquest stated that if he was told of the fall and head strike he would have asked that Ms Vv be transferred to hospital for further investigation.
Coroner's Comments and Findings
The coroner stated that the fall with obvious head strike should have resulted in a thorough examination and assessment being undertaken by, at least a divisional 1 registered nurse, or even more appropriately by a medical practitioner. The coroner was critical in the absence of a formal post-incident review. The coroner stated that it would have been most helpful if the observations/ recollections of the staff involved had been sought and documented shortly after the incident. The issue of the adequacy, or more importantly, the inadequacy of documentation in the progress notes would have been obvious at that time. The coroner recommended the RACS formalize and implement a comprehensive, robust internal review process to examine their approach to this event.
Editor's Note
A detailed root cause analysis (RCA) following this type of incident assists in identifying the gaps in care and what improvements need to be made in the future. It is worthwhile looking back to our March 2013 RAC-Communiqué, which explores the utility of RCA and has an interesting commentary on the nature of evidence and recall. These concepts are still applicable today.The past issue also highlights the importance of using information and lessons from other RACS to improve our service. The need for better documentation and improved responsiveness in RACS are recurring themes familiar to our long-time subscribers. These themes are once again pertinent in this case, and feature in the proposed new aged care standards, specifically, in "Initial and ongoing resident assessment and care planning to inform the delivery of safe and effective care" (Proposed Standard 2.2) and "Deterioration or change of a consumer's function, capacity or condition is recognised and responded to in a timely manner" (Proposed Standard 3.5).'

A Gold Coast mother is "furious" after finding a piece of wire in a Coles frozen pizza base.
Heather Judson took to Coles Facebook to report the find, writing that she first "noticed a greenish mark on the top of the base" after purchasing the pack of Coles-brand thin and crispy bases on Tuesday.
"I was initially frustrated as I assumed that it was mold due to the colour and it was only due to expire in March 2018," she wrote.
"But after closer inspection, I was furious to find that it was not mold but a big piece of braided steel wire.
"How in the heck does this end up in a pizza base which could have been eaten and caused major health complications when digested??"
In a reply to the post, Coles expressed concern and requested further details.
A Coles spokeswoman has since confirmed an investigation is ongoing.
"We have been in contact with the customer and are investigating the matter with our supplier," the spokeswoman said.
