Watch Out Samsung, Intel Is Getting Serious With NANDAre M.2 NVMe Drives Ready for the Limelight?
Cash flow statements and a variety of tools are crucial to keeping a business alive and thriving. Start-ups are especially vulnerable if they do not take control of their cash flow from the outset. Many new businesses do not survive and experts believe that a lack of cash flow control is often to blame.
Profitability is usually the goal of young businesses, but continuity and growth are really all about cash flow, even after a business is profitable. To this end, SCORE provides a template to help businesses track cash flow so they can manage it over the long term.
Cash flow can also be monitored by setting account balance alerts with your bank and training an employee to keep an eye on the cash flow. Successful business owners also recommend that you talk frequently with key executives of your bank. You may be able to establish payroll and inventory or general loan accounts by providing them regular reports on your business’ financial standing. If you see a shortfall coming, you can discuss a credit line or temporary loan to cover it.
A Net 30 terms credit line provides your business the flexibility of making purchases when they are needed to keep operations moving efficiently, even if your cash flow won’t support the purchase for another few weeks. These credit line accounts can be very useful to obtain supplies needed for continuing operation.
Another advantage of net terms credit lines is that they can be used by employees to make purchases without the security risks and hassles associated with handing out credit cards. Some suppliers, such as NeweggBusiness, accept purchase orders in conjunction with net terms accounts. Employees can make several purchases in a month, but accounting has only has one bill to pay at the end of the 30 days.
Always pay on time to keep up good relations and credit ratings. It makes for good business with suppliers, who are then more likely to come to your aid if a temporary shortfall or negative event hits your business.
If you keep your accounting records in a secure cloud, you shouldn’t have to worry about backing it up and it will always be accessible to you and trusted employees. With these tools, you can check your finances on your computer, tablet, or phone no matter where you are. The security of the information should be validated, however. Limit the number of employees who have access and be sure they are trustworthy.
The first step is making sure customers know when you’ll expect payment. Invoice quickly and do it by e-mail if possible. Make it easy for customers to pay you and encourage rapid payment. For example, you may be able to encourage electronic forms of payment rather than waiting for checks to come in the mail. Accepting credit cards, PayPal, Stripe, or other forms of payment may cost a small percentage, but in the end it assures that the receivable is no longer pending a customer’s action and you are not waiting for a check to clear.
Encourage on-time payments for your receivables with incentives. In my lease agreements, I offered a small discount when tenants paid on time. When they didn’t, they knew the cost would increase and that higher rate was noted in the contract as their standard rent. Late fees were added later when they were even more behind.
Direct debit, or Automated Clearing House (ACH) transfers, have become quite common and are convenient for both your business and that of your customers when recurring payments are required. Some incentives can motivate customers to pre-authorize direct debit withdrawals to fulfill their payment obligations. Not all will agree to it as they may feel it affects their ability to directly control their own cash flow. But some customers may prefer freedom from dealing with one more bill or invoice and the incentives may justify it.
In a similar vein, some gas stations have a cash price and a credit price. The credit price is of course higher to cover the card issuer fees and maybe a little for the station owner’s trouble and delay of cash flow. Many businesses have similar offerings. You may be able to design similar incentives to encourage more immediate cash in your bank account in order to improve cash flow.
Any excesses to convert to cash?
It may be that your business has excess equipment or inventory that could be sold in order to add to the cash on hand. Of course, in-process inventory used to create product is not so easily sold, since additional investment is typically required to produce cash-generating product.
Can you make cash flow king?
There are of course many other cash flow controls, some of which are specific to certain markets or types of businesses. Please let us know in the comments if you are aware of other notable cash flow controls for small- to medium-sized businesses.

the first step is making sure customers know when you’ll expect payment. invoice quickly and do it by e-mail if possible. make it easy for customers to pay you and encourage rapid payment. for example, you may be able to encourage electronic forms of payment rather than waiting for checks to come in the mail. accepting credit cards, paypal, stripe, or other forms of payment may cost a small percentage, but in the end it assures that the receivable is no longer pending a customer’s action and you are not waiting for a check to clear.
encourage on-time payments for your receivables with incentives. in my lease agreements, i offered a small discount when tenants paid on time. when they didn’t, they knew the cost would increase and that higher rate was noted in the contract as their standard rent. late fees were added later when they were even more behind.
direct debit, or automated clearing house (ach) transfers, have become quite common and are convenient for both your business and that of your customers when recurring payments are required. some incentives can motivate customers to pre-authorize direct debit withdrawals to fulfill their payment obligations. not all will agree to it as they may feel it affects their ability to directly control their own cash flow. but some customers may prefer freedom from dealing with one more bill or invoice and the incentives may justify it.
in a similar vein, some gas stations have a cash price and a credit price. the credit price is of course higher to cover the card issuer fees and maybe a little for the station owner’s trouble and delay of cash flow. many businesses have similar offerings. you may be able to design similar incentives to encourage more immediate cash in your bank account in order to improve cash flow.
any excesses to convert to cash?
it may be that your business has excess equipment or inventory that could be sold in order to add to the cash on hand. of course, in-process inventory used to create product is not so easily sold, since additional investment is typically required to produce cash-generating product.
can you make cash flow king?
there are of course many other cash flow controls, some of which are specific to certain markets or types of businesses. please let us know in the comments if you are aware of other notable cash flow controls for small- to medium-sized businesses.

As the flamboyant hairdresser who clipped the locks of WWE rivals in the ’80s and early ’90s with his trademark shears, Brutus “The Barber” Beefcake was all about two things — cuttin’ and struttin’.
A marquee Superstar during WWE’s national expansion in the 1980s, The Barber battled rivals like The Honky Tonk Man and Mr. Perfect and competed in main event matches alongside his good friend, Hulk Hogan, at SummerSlam ’89 and WrestleMania IX. But Beefcake’s greatest accomplishment may have been his defiant return to the ring in 1991 after a freak accident nearly ended his life.
First introduced to the WWE Universe as an arrogant member of “Luscious” Johnny Valiant’s Dream Team, Beefcake won the World Tag Team Championships with Greg “The Hammer” Valentine in 1985. But Brutus found his true calling when Roddy Piper defeated Adrian Adonis in a Hair vs. Hair Match at WrestleMania III. At odds with Adonis at the time, Beefcake hit the ring to help Hot Rod snip the villain’s golden locks and was reborn as The Barber in front of more than 93,000 WWE fans.
Now strutting down the aisle with candy-striped garden shears and barely-there spandex pants, Brutus "The Barber" Beefcake became a fan-favorite as he took down opponents with his Sleeper Hold and cut off their hair. By 1990, the once-villainous Barber had teamed with Hulk Hogan against “Macho Man” Randy Savage & Zeus in the main event of SummerSlam ’89 and ended Mr. Perfect’s nearly two-year-long undefeated streak.
The Barber was on his way to big things when he was severely injured in a brutal parasailing accident in 1990. The mishap nearly killed the Superstar, but he persevered and made a miraculous comeback in ’91 with eight titanium plates, 32 screws and 100 feet of steel wire holding his face together. Upon his return, Brutus hosted his own talk show segment, “The Barber Shop,” and teamed with his old pal The Hulkster to take on Ted DiBiase & Irwin R. Schyster at WrestleMania IX.
Following his tenure in WWE, Beefcake joined Hogan in WCW, where he competed under a character actor’s résumé of personas, including the lascivious Booty Man, the wacko Zodiac and the stoic Disciple and Brother Bruti. The flashy Superstar will always be remembered as one of the most popular competitors of his generation, which is why he is more than worthy of induction into the WWE Hall of Fame.

The Galaxy S9 and Galaxy S9+ are now official from Samsung, with global availability set for March 16.
While the overall designs haven’t changed drastically from last year, let’s quickly cover the big spec differences. The Galaxy S9 features a 5.8″ QHD+ Curved Super AMOLED display, Snapdragon 845 processor, 4GB RAM, storage options starting at 64GB up to 256GB, rear-facing 12-megapixel camera, 3,000mAh battery, wireless charging, fingerprint reader on the backside, AKG-tuned stereo speakers, plus Android “Oreo” at launch.
The Galaxy S9+ is of course similar to the smaller Galaxy S9, but comes with a larger 6.2″ QHD+ Curved Super AMOLED display, 6GB RAM, dual rear-facing cameras with OIS (Wide-angle: Super Speed Dual Pixel 12MP AF sensor (F1.5/F2.4), Telephoto: 12MP AF sensor (F2.4)), and a larger 3,500mAh battery.
All of the important spec information can be viewed here.
Because the hardware didn’t change too much, Samsung has to incorporate other changes to make these phones stand out from last year’s. To do so, Samsung focused on the camera(s), entertainment experience (stereo speakers), new DeX Pad compatibility, as well as security with Knox 3.1 software.
Even though Samsung’s Galaxy devices are already known for very good mobile cameras, there is always room for improvement, something Samsung doesn’t seem to have much of an issue doing year-over-year. For the new S9 and S9+, Samsung is including Super Slow-mo, Low Light Camera, AR Emoji, and Bixby AI enhancements.
For those who are fans of slow motion shots, the Galaxy S9 and S9+ are capable of 960 frames per second (FPS). Additionally, the devices also offer automatic Motion Detection, a feature that detects movement in the frame and automatically begins to record. After shooting your Super Slow-mo clip, you can select background music from 35 different pre-installed options or add your own personal music.
To compete with Apple’s Animoji, Samsung is also including AR Emoji on these devices. AR Emoji uses a, “Data-based machine learning algorithm, which analyzes a 2D image of the user and maps out more than 100 facial features to create a 3D model that reflects and imitates expressions, like winks and nods, for true personalization.” To the delight of users, these AR Emoji can also be used in a range of 3rd-party messaging platforms.
Here’s how Samsung describes the Low Light Camera and Bixby tech.
Bixby: Samsung’s intelligence platform, integrated into the camera, uses augmented reality and deep learning technologies to provide helpful information about a user’s surroundings3. With real-time object detection and recognition, Bixby instantly generates information directly on top of the image that the camera is pointing at. Users can translate foreign languages and currency in real time with Live Translation, learn about their surroundings, purchase products seen in the real world and track calories throughout the day4.
The Galaxy S9 and S9+ will be available in the U.S. starting March 16, 2018. Pre-orders begin March 2, 2018. Staring March 2, if you pre-order a Samsung Galaxy S9 or Galaxy S9+, you can save up to $350 with a qualifying trade-in.
Both phones will be available through Samsung.com and the Shop Samsung app. The Unlocked Galaxy S9 is $719.99 or $30/month with 24 months financing, while the unlocked Galaxy S9+ is available for $839.99 or $35/month with 24 months financing.

by Bob Lupton The church was justifiably proud of its community food pantry. It had grown over the years from a closet in the church basement to a spacious, well-run distribution center with its own separate building adjacent to the church. It looked more like a small grocery store than a “pantry” with rows of neatly stocked shelves, bins for fresh produce, even a cooler for perishables. A state-of-the-art computer system kept track of inventory, recorded donor contributions, monitored distributions and the recipients who received them, and maintained good financial records. Because it was so well run, local grocery stores and bakeries felt good about donating their surplus and outdated food. Other churches contributed as well.
It was still called “the pantry,” the quaint name left over from its meager beginnings when occasional bags of food were given out by the pastor. But it had evolved into a full-fledged food distribution operation run more like a business than a basement charity. It had a full-time director, a part-time bookkeeper and several dozen regular volunteers. It was now open four days a week and served growing numbers of needy beneficiaries that streamed in from all over the county. School counselors and agency caseworkers referred clients needing emergency assistance. The “pantry” had become widely known as an important player in the city’s social safety-net. As I said, the church was justifiably proud of the ministry of its community food pantry.
Then one day a church member handed the pastor a book – Toxic Charity! It made the case that give-away programs hurt the poor more than they helped, that a crisis response to a chronic need creates dependency, that doing for others what they have the capacity to do for themselves destroys a work ethic. Needless to say, it was a very disturbing read. It called into question the validity of their best community ministry. If it were true, that give-away programs are hurtful, the entire structure of the “pantry” would have to be dismantled. And not just the “pantry” – much of their service outreach and mission trips would have to be revamped as well! This is not the kind of disruption a busy pastor needs.
Isn’t community service to be about helping the needy, not just making church members feel good? And if, as that darn book says, the way the church is doing service actually harms those they are attempting to help, then the program is clearly self-serving. Not intentionally, but in reality it may be more about the church’s self-interest than about those being served. Yes, Toxic Charity was indeed a very disturbing read.
Or they may raise more questions. Questions like: Why are there so few anecdotal success stories? Or why are recipients not becoming involved in the life of the church? Or why do the “pantry” workers seem somewhat defensive about the inquiries? Probe a little deeper and it may become apparent that, as that book claims, the whole well-run, give-away program reeks with hidden toxicities – dependency, deception, dignity-depreciation. That’s when the real problem arises – how to fix a ministry that most folk don’t think is broken?
Changing an institution that is heavily vested in “the way we have always done it” is a major challenge, especially for a pastor whose job it is to keep that institution growing and keep the members reasonably happy. The last thing a leader wants is to stir up divisive controversy that could alienate good and faithful members. But a spiritual leader must also have integrity. So if it becomes apparent that change is necessary to ensure responsible care for the poor, there is no alternative but to act. But how?
Certainly not a frontal assault. Too much damage could be inflicted on the “compassion corps” by declaring their good works toxic. A much subtler change strategy is needed. Distributing copies of Toxic Charity to key leadership (perhaps covertly) will stimulate considerable discussion. Such conversations begin working the soil. Visiting a few innovative models – best practices – being implemented elsewhere by other ministries helps to move the discussion from critique to creativity. Encourage a few key leaders to attend the Christian Community Development Association (CCDA.org) annual conference, a gathering of practitioner thought-leaders committed to assisting ministries to empower the poor. That will definitely till up some soil. It is not at all unlikely that, through a non-confrontational exploration process, interest in new methods of service will be kindled. A food co-op “buying club” model, a bartering system, a thrift store with deeply discounted basics – such ideas that have succeeded in other places can ignite the imagination, especially of entrepreneurial types.
Adding a new, complementary program is far less volatile than attempting to dismantle and replace an existing one. The “pantry” stays. At least for a time. But alongside it you may chose to offer recipients the option to join a “buying club” co-op in which members pay $3 bi-weekly and receive back ten to twenty times that amount in groceries. Members, like share holders, have the pride of ownership, control of food selection, and accountability to each other. Dignity replaces beggary, belonging replaces impersonal food lines. Like one church discovered, as co-op membership increased food lines dwindled until eventually almost no free food was distributed. It’s one idea. The point is this: transition from “doing for” the poor to “doing with” them need not be disruptive or alienating. It begins with one decisive step in the right direction.
The “pantry” may continue to function for years to come but the shift to empowerment has begun. A door has been opened that allows church members and recipients alike to experience first-hand the differences between the pridelessness of one-way charity and the dignity of reciprocal exchange. Outcomes will eventually become obvious. Once empowerment principles take root and spread beyond the “pantry” to other areas of ministry – benevolence giving, service projects, mission trips – a paradigm of development will become the new norm.

by bob lupton the church was justifiably proud of its community food pantry. it had grown over the years from a closet in the church basement to a spacious, well-run distribution center with its own separate building adjacent to the church. it looked more like a small grocery store than a “pantry” with rows of neatly stocked shelves, bins for fresh produce, even a cooler for perishables. a state-of-the-art computer system kept track of inventory, recorded donor contributions, monitored distributions and the recipients who received them, and maintained good financial records. because it was so well run, local grocery stores and bakeries felt good about donating their surplus and outdated food. other churches contributed as well.
it was still called “the pantry,” the quaint name left over from its meager beginnings when occasional bags of food were given out by the pastor. but it had evolved into a full-fledged food distribution operation run more like a business than a basement charity. it had a full-time director, a part-time bookkeeper and several dozen regular volunteers. it was now open four days a week and served growing numbers of needy beneficiaries that streamed in from all over the county. school counselors and agency caseworkers referred clients needing emergency assistance. the “pantry” had become widely known as an important player in the city’s social safety-net. as i said, the church was justifiably proud of the ministry of its community food pantry.
then one day a church member handed the pastor a book – toxic charity! it made the case that give-away programs hurt the poor more than they helped, that a crisis response to a chronic need creates dependency, that doing for others what they have the capacity to do for themselves destroys a work ethic. needless to say, it was a very disturbing read. it called into question the validity of their best community ministry. if it were true, that give-away programs are hurtful, the entire structure of the “pantry” would have to be dismantled. and not just the “pantry” – much of their service outreach and mission trips would have to be revamped as well! this is not the kind of disruption a busy pastor needs.
isn’t community service to be about helping the needy, not just making church members feel good? and if, as that darn book says, the way the church is doing service actually harms those they are attempting to help, then the program is clearly self-serving. not intentionally, but in reality it may be more about the church’s self-interest than about those being served. yes, toxic charity was indeed a very disturbing read.
or they may raise more questions. questions like: why are there so few anecdotal success stories? or why are recipients not becoming involved in the life of the church? or why do the “pantry” workers seem somewhat defensive about the inquiries? probe a little deeper and it may become apparent that, as that book claims, the whole well-run, give-away program reeks with hidden toxicities – dependency, deception, dignity-depreciation. that’s when the real problem arises – how to fix a ministry that most folk don’t think is broken?
changing an institution that is heavily vested in “the way we have always done it” is a major challenge, especially for a pastor whose job it is to keep that institution growing and keep the members reasonably happy. the last thing a leader wants is to stir up divisive controversy that could alienate good and faithful members. but a spiritual leader must also have integrity. so if it becomes apparent that change is necessary to ensure responsible care for the poor, there is no alternative but to act. but how?
certainly not a frontal assault. too much damage could be inflicted on the “compassion corps” by declaring their good works toxic. a much subtler change strategy is needed. distributing copies of toxic charity to key leadership (perhaps covertly) will stimulate considerable discussion. such conversations begin working the soil. visiting a few innovative models – best practices – being implemented elsewhere by other ministries helps to move the discussion from critique to creativity. encourage a few key leaders to attend the christian community development association (ccda.org) annual conference, a gathering of practitioner thought-leaders committed to assisting ministries to empower the poor. that will definitely till up some soil. it is not at all unlikely that, through a non-confrontational exploration process, interest in new methods of service will be kindled. a food co-op “buying club” model, a bartering system, a thrift store with deeply discounted basics – such ideas that have succeeded in other places can ignite the imagination, especially of entrepreneurial types.
adding a new, complementary program is far less volatile than attempting to dismantle and replace an existing one. the “pantry” stays. at least for a time. but alongside it you may chose to offer recipients the option to join a “buying club” co-op in which members pay $3 bi-weekly and receive back ten to twenty times that amount in groceries. members, like share holders, have the pride of ownership, control of food selection, and accountability to each other. dignity replaces beggary, belonging replaces impersonal food lines. like one church discovered, as co-op membership increased food lines dwindled until eventually almost no free food was distributed. it’s one idea. the point is this: transition from “doing for” the poor to “doing with” them need not be disruptive or alienating. it begins with one decisive step in the right direction.

I have a child of a MDI container and I don't want the user to be able to close it, or maximize, or minimize it. But I do want the user to be able to resize it and drag it around and will. So I want to get rid of the close, minimize and maximize buttons but retain the blue strip.
Where "this" is some form, you may find yourself with a control lacking a blue strip to move the form around! The solution to this problem is to enter some text in the text field.
And that seems to be how it's done. Of course there are other ways override the message handler or using PInvoke (yes I tried Google before working this out for myself) but you really don't need to.
You can always add a delegate to listen for the FormClosing event.

« One of the Best Ever.
I didn’t really mean to write about all of this. Traveling over the Santiam Pass on New Year’s Eve, I wrote notes for something vastly different. But that will have to wait.
December needs to be revisited first.
I have been so afraid and so deeply sad. I lost my eye. I almost died. My face is still a mass of bruises, swelling, and pain. I will heal, I know, but there will be scars inside and out.
This past month keeps replaying itself in my memory. My world exploded on December 1 – a catastrophic fall on our sailboat. Four days later, Erik and I traveled painfully back to the States with the help of porters at every airport. Over the next two days, I saw my first eye doctor at the Casey Eye Institute and then a facial reconstruction ENT surgeon. It was decided to do a new ultrasound on my eye and operate on my face toward the end of December. The news that I could be looking at multiple surgeries was more than disheartening.
But Erik, being who he is, pushed to move the ultrasound up to December 15 to give us time to reevaluate should any new information come to light. We drove back over the pass to OHSU in a blizzard, avoiding an avalanche, to have the ultrasound. The technician, a brilliant and perceptive angel, noticed some issues with my eye.
We were ushered in to a meeting with the retinal surgeon who told us my eye was too damaged to save, that to leave it in could damage the other eye. We took time to breathe, think, and decide.
We put out an all-call on Facebook, and with a speed and love I never could have imagined, we began receiving support and help from all over the world.
A friend of Erik’s – a lovely woman he introduced me to in the line at the post office, and to whom I spoke for maybe 10 minutes – offered to put us in touch with a world-renowned retinologist. A member of our “racing family” introduced us to a professional who studied with my retinologist in England. My niece introduced me to a “friend of a friend” who had faced the traumatic loss of an eye. Just messaging her helped.
And the love and prayers that cascaded over us … from “wraparound hugs” to entreaties to call should I need anything … from friends I’d had since high school to my sorority sisters, from my family to my person to my brand new racing family … tears fall as I type this knowing I would not be here without you all.
I had my surgery on December 20, and after four days in the “ambulatory” surgical unit, Erik drove me back home. Getting over the pass was intensely painful, despite his best efforts. Christmas was saved by the presence and hugs of our children.
We went back over the pass to see my doctors on December 30, just a week and a half after they put my face back together. Details were revealed that the doctors had told me, I was just not coherent enough to fully realize.
The orbit of my right eye was broken in so many places, the facial reconstruction surgeon had to find a piece that was still attached to my skull and tie that one to the next and the next one to the next. The only comparison she can make is to a patient she had who fell five stories and landed on his face.
My right cheek was disintegrated to the extent they had to use a thicker titanium plate to rebuild it so it would hold shape. My right eye had literally exploded. My septum was deviated and the right side of my nose broken in pieces too many to count.
The injuries to my face were the kind associated with the head-on collisions of drunk drivers. Minor in comparison, I tend to forget the depressed skull fracture on my right temporal lobe.
I was stunned. “Jesus,” I thought, “how can this be so bad?” I lost an eye, but it’s more than that. The pain, the loss, the fear. I can’t write these words without tears. I don’t know why it wasn’t just enough to give me Parkinson’s.
I hadn’t believed them when they said the pain and bruising from this operation would be greater than the original accident. After they rebuilt my face from one incision in my mouth at the gum line and other incisions behind my eyelids, I learned they were right. My allergy to opioids caused wracking nausea and vomiting, making narcotics as brutal as suffering through the pain. After two days I retreated to Tylenol, Advil, and Excedrin.
I cried in his office as the finality washed over me again. Erik held my knee and told me it was ok to cry, that I had to grieve.
But here I am now, December 31, New Year’s Eve, sitting on the couch in the Tree House in Sisters. There’s no dancing, but there is a love that will sustain us through bone-deep fatigue, pain and sorrow, and enable us to find joy in all things.
We are making plans to go back up to the boat soon, and still plan to sail to Alaska this summer.
So while I have many more rows to hoe, bones to mend, bruises to heal, and lessons to learn, I can begin my new year with tears for the trials of 2016, a sense of dread about the pain I still have to endure, but also gratitude for the love of family and friends, and the man who brought me home.
Second star to the right and straight on ‘till morning.
