"Number one, we see more growth, we see more people moving to the Valley from other parts of the city and other parts of the world. Ventura Boulevard has become like our downtown to a great degree.
"As far as nonprofits go, in the past five years we're seeing more involvement of the general public, seeing the problems at hand that face young people, at least beginning to discuss that we have inadequate resources to deal with the problems. They can pick up the newspaper, they can turn TV on. They can hear about gang problems, they can hear about drug problems, they can hear about problems related to family breakdown.
"That awareness has definitely been slower here. The Valley has been perceived as an area that doesn't need as much financial support, that doesn't have the problems that other areas have. It's been overplayed. The Valley does have needs and those needs need to be addressed. In the past you've seen those resources go to the center city.
"My entire life has been working with young people. The need is greater now--for role models. The need is greater now because there are more problems. It's increasing the workload.

As Dan, Kelly, and I watched "How's your news?" tonight on MTV (the few readers know who we are, so i figure it's okay to use names), I came across a band called, Islands. Went on their myspace and the first single that came on from the Canadian band was called, "Creeper". Enough said, SCOPE. Here is a performance of the song.

- Q & A
One of the problems expanding bullets face is the separation of the jacket from the core. Separation results in significant weight loss and deformation, which affects everything from ballistics to the wound channel created by the bullet. In order to fix that problem, Remington came up with Core-Lokt. Core-Lokt has a well-deserved reputation for excellence due to its ability to retain weight and create devastating wounds; when a bullet consistently delivers clean kills, you know it’s got to be good. The core is quite literally “lokt” to the jacket for reliable expansion, superior weight retention, and rapid energy transfer across a broader surface. These Remington Core-Lokt rounds are meant for your .30-06.
At 180 grain these are moderately heavy rounds. They’re still going to travel at impressive speeds but they’re heavy enough to do some serious damage, and that’s exactly what you want from a hunting round. These are PSP rounds – Pointed Soft Point – and have a Spitzer shape to increase speed and help the bullets maintain an even, flat trajectory. They deliver controlled expansion on impact for a deep, catastrophic wound cavity and a clean kill. Each round has a muzzle velocity of 2700 feet per second and muzzle energy of 2913 foot-pounds. Remington Core-Lokt is made just for your hunting needs.
When you place your order for this single box of ammunition from Remington you get 20 rounds. These boxes are just the right size for carrying in your vest pocket or tucking in the pockets of your range bag. If you order just one you’ll have a great hunt, sure, but both you and your rifle are going to be left wanting more. Remington has been in business since 1816 and 200 years of experience certainly shows with innovative rounds like these. They have six plants, each of which has a specific job; ammunition is manufactured at their plant in Lonoke, Arkansas. Be confident in your ammunition when you go hunting by loading your gun with Remington Core-Lokt.

The excellent efficacy of targeted drugs and the inevitable problem of drug resistance have been in a state of ebb and flow. Researchers continue to explore solutions and try from various reasons and aspects, but the tumor cells are too cunning and have had little success.
The researchers found that when tumor cells respond to the attack of targeted drugs, they will initiate a stress response to induce more gene mutations to try to avoid the attack of targeted drugs, and a gene called AXL plays a key role.
So, if we start with AXL and block the AXL protein, can we overcome the drug resistance of targeted drugs?
SOS stress response in cancer cells
When we encounter a very urgent situation, the potential of the body is often unleashed. Scientists have found that bacteria, when faced with deadly threats, such as toxic chemicals, antibiotics, etc., also activate a dangerous but effective process called the SOS response. In this case, bacteria tend to make some more mistakes in gene duplication, so as to test how to survive the difficult situation. Most mutated bacteria die, but there are always some mutations that allow a very small number of bacteria to survive.
Similarly, when cancer cells resist tumor drugs, a similar SOS response occurs. When cancer cells are killed by a large number of drugs, gene replication in temporarily surviving cancer cells will produce more errors, and there will always be some cancer cells that have acquired drug resistance through gene mutation, thus surviving and proliferating , and ultimately achieve the purpose of resistance to drugs. Cancer cells develop the T790M mutation in the EGFR gene through this method.
In this trick played by cancer cells, there is a key central regulator AXL protein. If this protein is expressed in large quantities, drug resistance will soon appear. So now that the key to the problem has been found, the solution is naturally to find a way to block the AXL protein, so that cancer cells cannot initiate the SOS response, so the drug resistance problem of targeted drugs will not be solved? In fact, researchers have already started from this aspect. What is the effect?
To solve drug resistance, AXL protein antibody and Erbitux are indispensable
The researchers used an antibody against the AXL protein to block the AXL protein in mice, but it didn’t work. So researchers tried to combine it with targeted drugs. The commonly used targeted drug for EGFR gene mutation is osimertinib. The combination of AXL protein antibody and osimertinib still failed to solve the drug resistance problem.
The researchers continued to explore and added another anti-cancer drug Erbitux, which is an antibody-targeted drug against EGFR protein cetuximab. The result was a miracle: the tumor lesions did not develop drug resistance, and the tumor cells Permanently suppressed by targeted drugs.
However, if osimertinib, AXL protein antibody, and Erbitux are used in combination, the tumor lesions of the experimental animals are always zero, a straight line parallel to the X-axis, and there is no drug resistance problem, which solves the problem of targeted drugs. This is how drug-resistant combinations are created.
Solving the problem of drug resistance of targeted drugs has always been the direction of researchers, and the conclusions of this study undoubtedly allow us to see a glimmer of light. However, this study only focused on lung cancer. If it is other solid tumors, can the drug resistance problem be solved in the same way? The conclusions of the study still need to be confirmed by more clinical trials. At present, it is only an animal test. If the AXL protein antibody is to be used in humans, it needs to be humanized, which will take a long time.
In view of the excellent efficacy data in this study, it is believed that the researchers will conduct in-depth clinical research in this area in the future.

Today the National Union of Students (NUS) and the Council of Australian Postgraduate Associations (CAPA) launch the Bury the Bill campaign to fight the proposed student loan legislation.
This is the first time in their almost forty-year history that the two organisations have united their efforts to preserve the accessibility of university education for Australians.
The student loan legislation, which is slated to be voted upon by the senate in the next few weeks, condemns lower-earning graduates to pay back their student loans when barely earning minimum wage.
The Bury the Bill campaign activates students, graduates, and future students to contact their senators and outline how this legislation will compromise access to higher education in Australia.
Natasha Abrahams, CAPA National President says:
“We need to fight to retain the HECS-HELP system that enables more Australians to access a university education and the opportunities that come from this. Under the proposed changes, highly regarded degrees which lead to lucrative careers will only be accessible to those who can afford colossal upfront payments.”
Mark Pace, NUS National President says:
“Simon Birmingham, the Scrooge of Australian Parliament, gifted universities with $2.3B in cuts last December. Now he’s seeking further budget repairs from those barely earning above minimum wage.”
“The number of graduates earning below the current repayment threshold reflects a failure of this government in providing a quality education. The solution is to adequately fund universities, not burden low income Australians with this Government’s failures in higher education.”

Burglaries of Dollar General stores have now spread to three counties in a week's time, DeKalb County Sheriff Cecil Reed said.
Oct. 9, someone broke into Dollar General stores in Fort Payne and Rainsville in DeKalb County and Scottsboro and Stevenson in Jackson County.
Saturday night, someone broke into Dollar General stores in Crossville in DeKalb County and Arab and Douglas in Marshall County.
Reed said all the burglaries followed the same pattern: Someone apparently used a key to enter the stores and then drilled the locks of their safes and emptied them of cash.

Food and Drug Administration will consider a congressman’s request to ban the use of bisphenol A (BPA) in infant formula packaging.
Rep. Edward Markey (D-Mass.) filed a petition in March 2012 that asked FDA to prohibit the use of BPA in infant-formula containers. FDA will seek public comment on Markey’s petition.
Markey also asked FDA to ban the use of BPA in small, reusable food containers and in beverage cans and food cans, but FDA rejected those requests.
Although FDA hasn’t banned BPA, the agency took measures to demand that manufacturers reduce the use of it in food packaging in 2010. Independent studies link BPA to cancer and to other health problems.

The Chilli Garlic Noodles, Golden-fried Prawns, Boneless Chilli Chicken and Drums of Heaven are popular in the Chinese fare. In the Indian section, the Tandoori Chicken and Chicken Tikka Butter Masala remain in demand. The food is ordinary; in fact, nothing here is reminiscent of the colonial era, neither in the menu nor in the décor. Sheer location, live events by big names like Usha Uthup and heritage keeps the place abuzz.

Getting more buses on time
17 August 2015
We have just finished our round of bus punctuality seminars:
- North east – Leeds 16 June
- West of England – Bristol 18 June
- North west – Liverpool 29 June
- West Midlands – Birmingham 1 July
- South east – London 9 July
- East of England- Cambridge 23 July
We were aiming to help the bus industry, transport authorities and the traffic commissioners focus on getting more buses on time and look at why they are not. The seminars attracted a wide audience of stakeholders, and those attending were able to discuss issues with the traffic commissioner.
RouteONE magazine and Bus & Coach Buyer both published good accounts of what the seminars were like. Click the links below to read them:
We know that punctual bus services drive passenger satisfaction. Getting more buses on time will lead to happier and probably more passengers – everyone benefits.
Our report What’s the hold up? Exploring bus service punctuality was a starting point for the discussion and some interesting problems were explored and will provide a basis for future work.
We heard about difficulties experienced by local authority public transport officers seeking advance warning from their highways’ colleagues about roadworks. When information was provided it was often meaningless. For example the closure of a road for an unspecified two days within a defined three-week period. Sometimes the information was inaccurate. Examples include notices being put up advising of a road closures and the road not being closed.
There were concerns that budget cuts had led to a reduction in traffic enforcement and obstructive parking is a big cause of bus delays. Parking tickets are not necessarily a deterrent as they do not make the driver move the vehicle, the obstructing vehicle needs to be towed away.
Increasingly congested routes in city centres worried operators. They wanted better consideration about traffic in planning decisions such as: bus station access, the positioning of bus stops, traffic lights and crossings and approving new developments.
There were many more topics covered. Of course the proof of the success of these seminars will be in any action that results. We will therefore take the issues raised to those who may effect change and see what progress has been made.

Arrived healthy and doing well
Good 8" tall great root system very healthy.
I ordered two pots of swords and they were both in great shape when I received them. The plants were healthy green and had great root systems. The only down side was that I found several snails on the pot, and they must have laid some eggs because I found some tiny baby snails in my aquarium.
I recieved my plants today, some ten different species for my jungle tank, and all of them with the exception of the micro sword and oak leaf were in fabulous condition. the sword is pale, sickly, and sports numerous yellowed leaves-most of which i removed due to rot. the root system, however, was spectacular, so I am attempting to nurse it back to health.

Lawrence Malstaf [Brussels/Tromso]
13.02 – 21.02.2009
In the installations by Lawrence Malstaf (who is known among other things for his collaboration with Meg Stuart and other choreographers), the visitor is often an essential physical part of what occurs and he experiences it from the inside. They are therefore not static images or snapshots but mechanisms that start off a process and set materials, objects or a space in motion. They are living installations and in this sense can be compared to performances. They take the form of a loop whose duration depends on the visitor.
In Compass (2005), the visitor straps an ‘orientation machine’ around his waist. It then leads him along a virtual route. The viewer explores the space and discovers a tangible but immaterial architecture. He can follow the machine’s directions or go against them.

- Pimentel to come up with ‘People’s Nomination’ to convince Duterte to run
- The campaign aims to get signatures from Duterte’s supporters nationwide
- ‘People’s Nomination’ will be out in October on newspapers and on social media
MANILA, Philippines – Senator Aquilino “Koko” Pimentel III is planning to convince Davao City Mayor Rodrigo Duterte to change his mind with a “Certificate of Nomination” which would be distributed to gather signatures nationwide.
In a media statement supposedly coming from the senator’s office through his Political Affairs Officer Astravel P. Naik, a copy of which was published on the Facebook page Mayor Rodrigo Duterte for President 2016, the certificate is supposedly aimed at convincing Duterte that the people need him “in these trying times.”
“This will be a People’s Nomination,” the statement has quoted Pimentel as saying. “The Filipino people should convince him and endorse him. I believe he would yield to the will of the people.”
Duterte will get endorsement from the people
Mayor Duterte belongs to PDP-Laban, the party led by Koko Pimentel. Both politicians are from Mindanao, the only region to have never produced a president in the country’s long history.
Duterte, a staunch advocate of a government shift to federalism, has earlier ended all speculations of his possible Malacanang run in 2016 with a categorical statement saying he will not seek the presidency despite popular clamor on social media.
Unlike other presidential hopefuls – Vice President Jejomar Binay, former Interior Secretary Mar Roxas and Senator Grace – who were all endorsed by political parties or business groups, Pimentel said Duterte will get his endorsement from the people themselves who are actively pushing for his candidacy.
Opposition Binay, administration bet Roxas and independent Poe have all separately declared their intention to run for president, opening a possible three-cornered fight in 2016.
Out before filing of candidacy
Pimentel said they are still hoping for Duterte to make a 180-degree turnaround from his early pronouncement, believing the mayor will finally yield to the call from his followers.
“No Presidential candidate in the history of this country, except perhaps President Cory Aquino who was swept to the Presidency by People Power, could claim that they were urged by the ordinary people to be their President,” Pimentel added.
Despite his categorical remarks, Duterte continues to drop hints he might just change his mind before the official election period starts, giving a flicker of hope to his legion of supporters.
“It ain’t over until the fat lady sings the blues,” Duterte said in reply to political analyst Ramon Casiple who said the mayor may just be simply testing the waters to generate more interests in his candidacy.
Nevertheless, Pimentel said they will have the ‘People’s Nomination’ out shortly before the start of the filing of candidacy next month, copies of which will be published on major newspapers and distributed on social media.
“Let the people endorse the person they would like to lead this country,” the senator added

He’s charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.

This winter’s flu has been the worst in the US in quite some time, with record numbers of hospitalizations, ER visits, and deaths. According to the CDC, 9.7% of all US deaths in the first week of February were due to the flu and pneumonia. Fifty-three kids have died from the flu this year. The levels of deaths due to the flu are above the seasonal threshold all over the country.
But not everyone agrees on what’s happening: Gloria Copeland, a minister who sat on the executive evangelical board of Trump’s 2016 campaign, sure does not.
“It’s NOT flu season!” Copeland wrote in the caption of a video posted on her and her husband Kenneth’s ministries official page on Facebook. “Yes, you heard it right,” she continues, explaining that the flu isn’t happening because “because Jesus bore ALL our sickness on the cross. This includes the flu!”
In the video, Copeland warns watchers not to believe the fact that the flu is spreading, and says “we already had our shot [..] Jesus himself gave us a flu shot, he redeemed us from the curse of flu.”
Praying for those with the flu, Copeland provided an innovative spin to anti-vaccination sentiment, encouraging people to “inoculate yourself with the words of god” by repeating that they did not have the symptoms of the flu.
The video went viral mainly as a laughing matter, but comments posted below it show that many share Copeland’s trust in faith-based flu vaccinations.

By Ernie Reyes
MANILA — More than 350 representatives of several groups of overseas Filipino workers in Asia, Europe, the Middle East and North America, expressed support on the bill of Senator Christopher Lawrence “Bong” Go aimed to establishing a separate Department of Overseas Filipinos (DOLFIL).
This was learned during the online forum they attended organized by United Filipino Global held last Saturday, January 9, to raise awareness on how to better protect the rights and welfare of Filipinos abroad and to show their support for Senate Bill No. 1949.
In a speech as the event’s main guest, Go spoke of the need for a department dedicated to protect the rights and advance the interests of overseas Filipinos who now compose ten percent of the country’s population.
“Ito po ang gusto naming maibigay sa inyo sa pamamagitan ng pagtatayo ng DOFil. Around 10% na kayo ng populasyon natin kung kaya’t dapat lang na mayroong iisang departamento na tututok sa inyong interes at mga pangangailangan,” he explained.
“Ito po ang ating ipinaglalaban — ang kapakanan ng mga Pilipino kahit saan man sila sa mundo. Napaka-unfair naman para sa atin — na 10 percent nga kayo ng population wala kayong sariling departamento,” he added.
Go also highlighted the adverse impacts of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic which resulted in the repatriation of thousands of OFWs, many of whom are in urgent need of government assistance.
“Mga nakaraang buwan tinamaan tayo ng pandemya na hindi natin inaasahan. Napakarami pong OFWs natin na talagang naghirap kahit saan na lang sila nananawagan sa radyo, sa Facebook, at … sa TV. Minsan ang dami pong tumatawag sa akin,” he continued.
“Kapag usapang overseas Filipino, iisang boses ang dapat nating pakinggan at magpapagitna ng lahat. Napakahirap ng nangyayari na ipapasa pa natin… Dapat mayroon tayong department na isang Cabinet-level secretary who will lead an organization structured to work together as one team to protect the rights… and welfare of our fellow Filipinos abroad,” he explained.
On December 14, 2020, Go filed SBN 1949. The measure seeks to streamline the organization and functions of all government agencies related to overseas employment and migration so government can perform its functions and mandates more efficiently.
The ‘Department of Overseas Filipinos Act of 2020’ is the third iteration of a bill introduced by Go in 2019. It represents the unified position of the Executive branch of the government on how the proposed department can best address crucial problems, deliver important services, and achieve its goals with regard to Filipinos overseas.
The bill was certified as urgent by President Rodrigo Duterte and is now one of the top twenty priority bills identified by both houses of Congress for 2021.
“This is unprecedented … Alam ko po ito ang isang bagay kung bakit natutuwa at minamahal ng bawat migrante Pilipino ang Pangulo. Wala pong Pangulo ang gumawa niyan na every time magko-conduct ng State of the Nation Address hindi po nakakalimutan ang pagsulong sa isang departamento o sariling bahay para sa amin,” said Jun Aguilar of the Filipino Migrant Workers group.
“Kami ay isa sa inyo na sumusuporta sa bill ng mahal na Senador. Hangad namin ang magkaroon ng sariling department ang overseas Filipinos upang mabigyan ng prayoridad at importansya ang issues at concerns ng ating OFWs,” added Lucy Sermonia who heads a recruitment agency.
The DOFil will be initially comprised of the Office of the Secretary and four Offices of the Undersecretaries, namely Administration and Finance, Foreign Employment, Assistance to Overseas Filipinos in Distress, and Policy and International Cooperation and Special Overseas Filipino Concerns.
The department shall subsume the Office of the Undersecretary for Migrant Workers’ Affairs of the DFA, Social Welfare Attaches Office under the Department of Social Welfare and Development, International Labor Affairs Bureau under the Department of Labor and Employment, and Commission on Overseas Filipinos. Additionally, OWWA and the POEA will serve as attached agencies.
Enhancing previous versions of the bill, SBN 1949 directs the implementation of a one country-team which shall require all officials in Philippine diplomatic posts to act together as one team, per country of assignment.
Furthermore, the bill also directs the establishment of Overseas Filipinos Malasakit Centers throughout the country to ensure the swift delivery of services to OFWs and their families here, including the acquisition of clearances and permits, validation of overseas job offers, reintegration services, and pertinent seminars and workshops.
The Migrant Workers and other Overseas Filipinos Resource Center, in turn, will provide other relevant services, such as temporary shelter to distressed OFWs, counseling and legal services, welfare assistance (e.g. medical needs), registration of irregular and undocumented workers, and conciliation of employer-employee disputes etc.
“Tinuturing natin silang mga bagong bayani. Hindi mapapalitan ang hirap at sakripisyo na mawalay sa pamilya para lang mabigyan ng mas magandang kinabukasan ang kanilang mga mahal sa buhay. Gawin natin ang lahat para maalagaan sila,” Go said. (AI/MTVN)

Inspired by rag dolls, and Hexy that's for sale in the shop. A Touch of Peace, Hello to Little Lexy. Peacefully shining with stars and flowers that's all happening in her hair.
Creating textured art with deep, bright Oranges, Peaches and Burnt Orange embroidery threads to colour contrast and merge together to draw our eye to this gorgeous throw cushion.
White Linen/Cotton mix quality material, with vivid embroidery. The Bright Orange to Pale lemon to a Burnt Orange outline Embroidered Boarder, all the way round gives it a luxury finish. Over 35,200 stitches and signed LMD in the design.
Throw: 4.5" approximately.
Inner: :Luxury new duck feather cushion (Down & Feather), non allergenic
Note: Colours & material may vary slightly due to photograph quality. More than one can be ordered, but will vary as they are unique in stitching! Colour variation also available. Convo me!
"The abstract embroidery has a life of its own. There are many layers involved, and I never know exactly what the end result will be. A truly unique creation through from the beginning of the design process, through to adding colour and removing colour, letting it merge into the material/fabric and even adding selected thread neon creates glazes with light and shade. Strokes and texture build up in and on the piece over the few hours it takes to complete each piece. This artistic process can be done exactly the same on two different cushion throws, and both will come out differently. They do have a life of their own. I work with artistic styles and the medium of machine embroidery. This process is definitely the most sensuous for me. The inspiration can come from many different places, photographs, paintings, objects and for instance, going to see a film. Part of the design packages I use have their own say in when a piece is finished. The stitching seems to be maxed out when the last thread layer is added! The piece darkens or lightens with the view point you have on it, as to what time of day and with varying light. It appears to move with the light and Shade. The stitches change from being sewn one way to another giving a unique contrasting life to the piece."

Yes, you read that right.
Three years after Charlie Sheen’s infamous public meltdown in which he openly bashed Two and a Half Men creator, Chuck Lorre, resulting in his being fired from the show, Charlie Sheen has reached out to the executive producers of the CBS series to discuss the possibility of the return of Charlie Harper before the show’s final season.
According to Charlie Sheen’s rep, Jeff Ballard, a mutual friend between Lorre and Sheen floated a balloon, so to speak, “and everyone kind of went hmm, that could be kind of interesting. And that is the state where it is at.” From Ballard’s understanding, Lorre is receptive to the idea, and Charlie wants to do it “for all of the fans that watched the show all those years and continue to watch it in syndication.” (E! News Interview)
Sheen’s run on FX’s Anger Management, which was initially booked for 100 episodes, has come to an end, and they are waiting to see if it will be picked up for an additional 50 episodes. Either way, Ballard states that Charlie will be “making himself available to do Two and a Half Men.”
It is clear that Charlie Sheen is all in for a Charlie Harper comeback; the real question is how the CBS execs feel about it. Chuck Lorre commented last month, saying that “we haven’t discussed that, really. We’ve been really focused on finding a storyline that puts Jon and Ashton front and center in a really interesting, provocative hopefully fun story. That was our priority going into this year, was to do a storyline that puts these two guys right in the middle of it. So, outside characters will come in as they do, but that’s not the focus.” (E! News Interview)
In case you weren’t aware, Kutcher and Cryer’s characters will be engaged in a gay-marriage storyline this upcoming season, so I’m sure the Two and a Half Men execs will be very focused on building that storyline out properly. The replacement of Charlie Sheen with Ashton Kutcher was an interesting one, but it proved to be extremely fruitful for CBS. For the first time in history that a hugely successful television show fired its headlining star, the ratings were kept significantly high due to the efforts of Kutcher and Jon Cryer. I’m sure Chuck Lorre is mindful of this as he considers the future of the show’s final season, airing this October 30th, 2014.
On replacing Charlie with Ashton, Lorre said, “I was delighted that it kept everybody working for another three years. It’s really light and nobody takes anything terribly seriously and the fact that people have continued to watch the show, you can’t count on that. It could have gone the other way, it really could have. But we’ve got these two great leads in Ashton and Jon and they’re imminently funny and watchable, so it worked out OK.” (E! News Interview)
Since the Charlie Harper character was killed off during his headline-making exit, I’m sure we are all curious to see how Sheen and the Two and a Half Men executive producers are going to handle the return, should it actually happen. Jon Cryer gave us some insight, stating that he knows “that the story doesn’t include his character in any way, and I don’t know how they’d do it in any way. But, this is Two and a Half Men, and often the show goes off in ways that you don’t expect it to go, so I’m not ruling it out.” (E! News Interview)
Lastly, after announcing the end of Two and a Half Men on the 2014 Summer Press Tour, CBS President Nina Tassler deflected all questions regarding Charlie’s potential return, saying, “I would like to see whatever Chuck would like to. [He] knows his show better than me…he has a lot of surprises in store, I don’t know if that’s one of them.”
Regardless of whether or not Charlie Sheen returns to Two and a Half Men, I’m sure we can all agree that the final season, airing October 30 on CBS, will be an interesting one.
Two and a Half Men airs in syndication at 7 pm on FoxCT.


On average, a person might see about 5,000 ads a day through all sources. Seeing this many ads can create a sense of media fatigue.
This is something to consider in terms of your customers and perhaps even the people at your dealership who are working with customers. Being overwhelmed and fatigued can affect the process used to ensure people are properly followed up with.
When someone consumes all the ads that the modern world is filled with, it could affect how salespeople work. Both salespeople, managers and customers have tons of information in their faces every day.
In situations where there are a huge number of customers to work with, being fast may become the main goal for salespeople. Moving through the process at a quick pace may cause some to be rote and robotic in their actions, which customers will notice. All customers must have questions answered in a way that retains their interest and are unique to them.
The reality is that money is sitting and waiting, so it’s important to do what is needed to get it into your dealership. When there are leads in every direction, it can be stressful.
Good technology can make a huge difference but it’s still a massive undertaking. Dealers in major markets might have 2,000 customers to follow up with per cycle and tech can organize their job and make it easier.
Even in smaller second-tier markets and rural locations, dealerships need to be aware of and use advanced technology to prevent things from falling through the cracks. This applies to helping with media fatigue by making processes more streamlined, but it goes even further than that.
A basic CRM software solution isn’t enough. It’s like using a four-cylinder engine to compete in an F1 race. You need a beefed-up eight or 12-cylinder to get the best results.
As a car, powersports, marine, or RV dealer, you need to think the same way customers do. There are lots of tools out there and many start with the Internet before moving to social media and their friends to do research.
Customers go through several phases that have been refined and developed to meet their preferences and demands. Some dealerships haven’t kept up with this process and it starts to show over time.
Looking at other sectors, tech has advanced at a rapid pace, and it can be hard to ensure you offer the best customer experience on websites, through sales, etc.
Many dealerships get into a rhythm and continue to do things that are comfortable and that worked at the start. However, it’s important to get into customers’ minds and make sure they are still satisfied with what you offer.
Simply thinking “this is what I want to keep doing” isn’t going to help if customers aren’t happy with the processes you’ve adopted anymore.
It’s possible to get customers to work through your processes first, but eventually, they will move to a competitor who provides what they want. This can lead to losing customers and revenue before needing to catch up and trying to win them back. This is a vicious cycle that should be avoided.
Not sure what customers are looking for? It’s similar across industries. A customer wants you to be realistic. They want to see transparency. Customers want processes that happen fast and meet their needs, not yours.
While it’s hardly new, tech is what can take you there. You can use insight from inside and outside the industry to make waves.
If a customer sees that something can be done by other companies, they’re going to wonder why you aren’t providing that. It can make them a bit wary if you aren’t on the cutting edge of technology compared to other brands, even giants like Amazon, Tesla or Carvana.
This can create a disconnect that inevitably affects customer confidence when others have the newest and greatest technology and you do not.
Another thing to be aware of is that customers are looking for information. They want your messaging to provide them with something of value. If your ads say nothing and offer little, they’re going to be largely disregarded. It’s important to share who you are, what you offer, and why customers should go to you instead of a competitor for messaging that works.
And then deliver.

Are AXES the best hardcore-and-more band you’ve never heard of?
These three everyday dudes from Rosswein, Germany (a tiny town so mind-meltingly boring it merits no more than a single line in Wikipedia and an official website so bereft of content that an article about a senior citizens cafe is a highlight), have crafted a real delight with their debut self-titled EP.
Trap My Eyes opens with a squall of feedback to announce a chunk of rumbling stoner metal that slowly builds tension. So far, so good, so what until a vertiginous drop that feels like every molecule of oxygen air being sucked out of the song before a hardcore-style scream signals a change-up to…
… unexpected NWOBHM influences in the guitar leads and a galloping pace that surprisingly fits perfectly with the hardcore vocals, FX and occasional, very satisfying guitar-chug.
Second Barred Debt wears its punk on its sleeve (and its drumming and pick-sliding). Yet tasty little slowdowns and detours into laidback stoner metal all the while shot through with vein-bulging emotive vocals and melody keep things interesting with plenty of light and shade.
This fun, diverse EP closes out with Vows, a track that showcases AXES’ aptitude for Great Big Fuzzy Riffs laced with hooky, chiming melodies.
It’s available as a free download from the AXES bandcamp. You can spare 10 minutes, download the fucker and enjoy it. You can thank me later.


Manchester City are the Premier League champions - and the players are in celebratory mood.
Goals from Samir Nasri and Vincent Kompany either side of half time gave Manuel Pellegrini's men the win they needed to seal the title.
With fans in and outside the Etihad celebrating and Poznaning to their heart's content the players have begun to let their hair down too.
And what better way to do so than with the a celebratory selfie or two.
Javi Garcia wasn't content with one snap - he had to take three.
Joining him are Edin Dzeko, Pablo Zabaleta, Yaya Toure and goalscorer Nasri for some post-match fun and games.
And the skipper wasn't going to be left out was he grabbing Joleon Lescott and Joe Hart for his.

Acclaimed avant-garde pianist Lisa Moore will appear at both Bowling Green State University’s College of Musical Arts and at the Clazel Theatre in downtown Bowling Green as part of the Music at the Forefront concert series sponsored by BGSU’s MidAmerican Center for Contemporary Music (MACCM).
Moore’s first concert will begin at 10:15 p.m. Dec. 1 at the Clazel, 127 N. Main St. A $2-$5 donation is suggested. The program will feature an eclectic mix of music by Don Byron, Brian Eno, Rufus Wainwright and Randy Newman, followed by a performance of Terry Riley’s seminal minimalist work “In C” by BGSU’s Combustible Arts Ensemble.
The Dec. 2 concert begins at 8 p.m. in Bryan Recital Hall at the Moore Musical Arts Center. The program will feature Frederic Rzewski’s “De Profundis” for speaking pianist, based on the letters of Oscar Wilde, and Martin Bresnick’s “For the Sexes: The Gates of Paradise,” inspired by the works of William Blake.
The Australian-American Moore lives in New York City where she collaborates with a large and diverse range of musicians and artists. The New York Times says “her energy is illuminating,” and the New Yorker magazine called her “visionary” and “New York’s queen of avant-garde piano.” Moore has released five solo discs and 30 collaborative discs. Her latest solo recording, “Seven,” has just been released on Cantaloupe.
Her performances combine musical and emotional power, whether in the delivery of the simplest song, the most challenging chamber work or complex solo score. She is passionately dedicated to the music of our time as well as the great musical canon. Moore has collaborated with composers from many musical genres, including Elliott Carter, Meredith Monk, Philip Glass and Ornette Coleman. Her repertoire spans works by Robert Schumann, Leos Janacek and Modeste Mussorgsky to music and text settings by Randy Newman. She has given concerts around the world.
Moore won the silver medal in the Carnegie Hall International American Music Competition. From 1992-2008 she was the pianist and founding member for the Bang On A Can All-Stars, the New York based electro-acoustic sextet and winner of Musical America’s 2005 “Ensemble of the Year” Award. As an artistic curator she most recently produced Australia’s Canberra International Music Festival “Sounds Alive ‘08” series, importing musicians from around the world for 10 days of music making at the Street Theatre.
Moore’s Clazel performance is the second time the college has partnered with the theater. In October, saxophonist Branford Marsalis, in town for the BGSU Festival Series, also gave a late-night show at the Clazel, which was attended by about 300 people, said Kurt Doles, MACCM coordinator.
“We are equally excited about having the opportunity to use the Clazel not only to highlight the talents of the BGSU College of Musical Arts but also to help them showcase a greater musical experience to the region,” said Dan Gallerno, Clazel marketing manager. “The Cla-zel has a long history in the Bowling Green community not only as a movie theater but also as a cultural and arts center; we see this as an opportunity to further honor that heritage.”
Music at the Forefront is an annual concert series featuring performances by accomplished and innovative performers of contemporary music. For more information contact the center at 419-372-2685 or email email@example.com.

§ Mr. Hawkins
asked the Secretary of State for Defence if he is aware that at the recent General Election a number of Royal Air Force personnel had not been informed of the correct procedure for registering as electors; and if he will take steps to ensure that all Service men are fully informed of their rights in this respect.
§ Mr. Millan
The answer to the first part of the Question is "No." As regards the second part of the Question I would refer the hon. Member to the Answer which I gave yesterday to the hon. Member for Gillingham (Mr. Burden).


CapEx – or capital expense – refers to investing in upfront costs such as real estate, equipment, and physical infrastructure. These are items that remain on the company books but will depreciate over time. An on-prem data center is the most CapEx-intensive because it requires the company to pay for all servers and other equipment, as well as ongoing fees such as maintenance, power, and cooling. Think of this model as home ownership.
OpEx – or operational expense – are costs that come directly out of the company’s monthly operational expense budget, similar to paying monthly rent on an apartment.
When enterprises are making tough decisions about IT budget, the question of how much to allocate toward CapEx vs OpEx is an important one. We are seeing a shift toward OpEx models for companies across verticals, largely because it is becoming less and less feasible for enterprises to effectively manage their own data centers in-house — in fact, according to a recent Credit Suisse CIO survey, 76% of CIOs either plan to deploy into colocation/wholesale data centers and over half expect to shutdown enterprise-owned data centers going forward.
Here are several elements companies must consider when determining which option is best for their specific requirements.
With a CapEx approach to data storage, the entire sum of the assets must be paid on the front end (though ongoing fees will also likely apply). An on-prem approach requires the organization to obtain everything for the data center, including real estate and equipment. These assets, which include storage and backup infrastructure, server hardware, software licensing, and network infrastructure, are certainly expensive, and they must be in place by day one.
With the OpEx model, the company utilizes their provider’s facility and often their equipment and is responsible for monthly payments based on capacity and services. Additionally, with OpEx, there are no overhead or installations costs, and organizations only pay for the space, power, and resources they need.
Under the CapEx model, most of a company’s resources are deployed on-premises, while an OpEx approach means the customer stores their data in a third-party location. While some organizations might worry about a perceived loss of control with an off-premises solution, most companies appreciate having a dedicated and qualified team of IT professionals managing their data, so their employees can focus on core business objectives.
It is inevitable that assets such as equipment and real estate will depreciate over time. Because of this, much of it will need to be replaced, or will require heavy maintenance, every three to five years. However, these cycles are not always predictable, which means companies that have invested in full ownership often face unanticipated expenses that surface at the least convenient times. With OpEx, equipment and server maintenance and management are handled and paid for by the service provider.
Data center scalability is necessary to support increasing IT demands, and infrastructure needs can change quickly. Companies that operate their own data centers might not have the necessary real estate or resources to accommodate fast growth. For this reason, a CapEx approach is not ideal for companies where speed of scale is a priority. Scaling down is also not easy in a CapEx model if the need for data center capacity decreases. Organizations that own their own data centers will be stuck with unnecessary space and equipment, which negatively impacts the overall ROI.
Scaling is much simpler and cost effective under the OpEx model. When growth is necessary, the infrastructure is already in place, so the provider has the ability and resources to scale up as quickly as possible to keep up with increasing needs and specifications — additionally, if needs decrease, you only pay for the capacity you actually use.
A company that invests in owning its own hardware is stuck with that equipment once they buy it. That means that when upgrades and new IT tools become available, the company must pay heavily to upgrade or replace what they have already purchased, in order to take advantage of the latest equipment on the market. With OpEx, a good service provider makes continuous updates to their (and your) network and systems as new features are released. This means companies have ongoing access to the latest technology without any added expense.
It is up to corporate leaders to determine which data storage solution is right for their organization. Many leaders have realized that hybrid cloud and colocation solutions offer far more advantages, such as fewer – or at least more predictable – costs, easier scalability, and the most important of all features: more time and energy to focus on your core business. By outsourcing data center infrastructure and management, they are keeping their focus on business growth, customer experience and employee retention, instead of staying distracted by data center management. Strategically outsourcing to trusted partners is one way many enterprises are staying ahead of competition.
With OpEx solutions, companies only pay for the space, power, and equipment they need. Factors such as upgrades, maintenance and IT staffing are managed by the provider, and scaling to meet fluctuating business requirements is simple and cost-effective.
The best data storage option depends on each organization’s unique business needs, budget, and resource availability. Newer companies can select the right infrastructure solution to deploy from the beginning and should consider each of these factors when making that decision. Established organizations with older IT infrastructure will eventually need to decide whether to transition to a new model or invest in their current solution.

Whether you want to co-locate your own data center equipment, integrate physical infrastructure with the cloud, or step into a fully managed IT solution, contact DartPoints to learn more about their data storage solutions.

Lipedema is a condition that involves the abnormal growth of fat cells, resulting in an irregular and disproportionate distribution of fat in the body. Unlike obesity, which is a result of excessive calorie intake leading to overall weight gain, lipedema is often a genetic disorder that affects mostly women. Besides causing physical discomfort, inflammation, and pain, lipedema can have a severe impact on a patient’s mental health because of the bodily changes that come with it.
Until recently, lipedema was considered a cosmetic issue, and weight loss through dieting and exercising was the only recommendation for patients. However, more research has made it evident that diet and exercise alone may not be enough to ameliorate the symptoms of lipedema.
Although liposuction was once widely criticized as a cosmetic treatment, it is now being used as one of the most effective methods to treat lipedema. While liposuction is traditionally associated with removing excess fat for cosmetic reasons, liposuction for lipedema is about achieving a functional goal of alleviating the symptoms and discomfort associated with the condition.
How Liposuction Works in Treating Lipedema
Liposuction for lipedema involves a tumescent technique that injects a fluid to numb the area and constrict blood vessels to minimize bleeding. A small cannula is then inserted under the skin to remove the affected fat cells. Large liposuction incisions and general anesthesia are not required when performing tumescent liposuction and can be avoided.
The Benefits of Liposuction for Lipedema
Liposuction can improve mobility, reduce pain, and inflammation, making it easier for the patient to exercise. It also plays a critical role in reducing the size of the affected limbs, improving overall mobility, and relieving fluid buildup. The most significant benefit of liposuction for lipedema treatment is that it offers long-term relief by removing the condition’s cause rather than providing temporary relief from the symptoms.
The Realities of Liposuction for Treating Lipedema
It is vital to remember that liposuction for lipedema is a medical procedure, and just like any other procedure, it carries a certain amount of risks and side effects. Therefore, it is always important to consult with a board-certified surgeon before undergoing any treatment. Liposuction for lipedema is not covered by insurance in most cases, and the cost of it can be expensive, so it is essential to plan accordingly.
Additionally, in some rare cases, patients may experience further complications. Some patients may develop new clusters of fat cells, and in rare cases, the removal of fat cells can lead to lymphedema. Lymphedema can cause severe swelling in the affected area and requires immediate medical attention.
The research surrounding lipedema has come a long way in the past decades, and while there is still much to learn about the condition, we do know that liposuction can help manage the condition. With proper consultation and care, patients suffering from lipedema can use liposuction as an effective treatment to manage their symptoms and improve their overall quality of life.

This fun center will keep students engaged while focusing on letter match! The students will match the uppercase and lowercase letters to the picture with the correct beginning letter. It will create a candy corn when placed together. I printed the pages on colored card stock.
I really hope you enjoy this center! :)


This is the toilet flange. The future home of the throne.
To the right of the toilet hole is the drain and vent for the washing machine. Apparantly, washing machines need to breathe also. Who knew?
Ta-da! It isn't totally set up in this picture but it is sitting in the right spot waiting for some bolts.
This hole in the floor is for the sink drain. Probably 2 1/8" or so...the PVC pipe is 1 1/2 ID". It was sort of scary seeing all these holes in the floor!
All the plumbing all over the cabinets. That hole is behind those cabinets.
Here is where the real fun begins. This is all dry fitted first - just making sure that is all fits. We don't want any surprises when it comes to the sewer lines.
This is the drain from the kitchen sink heading towards the trunk line.
Interior of the bus when all the plumbing was going on. You can see the appliances in the back of the bus in this photo.
Jim Bob used cardboard to cushion the chicken poo covered ground. Yummy.
The black tip line is the bathtub drain. It meets with the kitchen sink line and then heads over to the trunk line.
The kitchen sink line rolling down the line. All in all the sewer lines to about two days. One day to dry fit and one day to glue it all together.

According to Grabien transcripts, e segnalato per la prima volta da NewsBusters, ABC chose to report on what would happen to the Afghan refugees who had already been evacuated but made no mention of the Americans left in the country, while CBS failed to mention Afghanistan at all during their report.
NBC dedicated just two lines in their Afghanistan report to the left behind Americans, with anchor Lester Holt briefly noting that the Biden administration was still relying on the Taliban to facilitate the extraction of stranded Americans, and reporter Andrea Mitchell simply stating at the end of her report that there were indeed Americans still trapped in Afghanistan with no clear path of escape.
All three networks did, tuttavia, dedicate time to arguably less important subjects, with ABC talking about the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day parade, which is still two and a half months away, and CBS talking about new inductees into the National Baseball Hall of Fame. NBC chose to spend more time on the controversial removal of a Robert E. Lee statue and the conservatorship of Britney Spears.
ABC and CBS were also criticized earlier this month for failing to cover the stranded Americans in Afghanistan just one day following the withdrawal of all U.S. forces from the country.
It’s unknown exactly how many Americans are still in Afghanistan, but the Biden administration says it is continuing to work with the government of Qatar to facilitate their exit.
During a Thursday appearance on MSNBC, White House press secretary Jen Psaki claimed there were “in giro” 100 Americans left in Afghanistan. She called the number “fluid” perché, secondo lei, some of them weren’t sure if they wanted to leave Afghanistan yet, but would be extracted if they decided to leave at a later point.

Congress: Republicans are headed towards losing their nerve against President Obama on amnesty by passing a “clean” homeland security bill. If they do, many 2016 voters will consider it a dirty betrayal.
The Homeland Security/immigration amnesty showdown is, in the words of the Washington Post, “a fractious and politically harmful family feud” among Senate and House Republicans now enjoying a majority in both congressional chambers.
Republicans’ ability to govern in united fashion is at stake, the dominant media, and the liberal Democratic politicians they cater to, tell us.
But this is really about something much bigger: maintaining GOP nerve, especially considering Republicans’ 2014 campaign promises to stand up against Obama and top Senate Democrat Harry Reid.
If the party lets itself lose this battle, Democrats will repeat their Senate filibuster strategy over and over again this year and next.
As a GOP Senate aide earlier this month told National Review’s Joel Gehrke: “If the Democrats, as a minority in the Senate, can not only tell the majority what bills they can bring up and whether or not they can or can’t have amendments, but also feel like they have the power to tell the House what bills they have to pass, it’s going to be like this on every single issue.”
In this particular case, the public should view the White House and Senate Democrats, not Republicans, as sacrificing homeland security on the altar of politics.
The department’s funding officially expires at midnight Friday. But a DHS “shutdown,” in fact, will have no real negative effects on the safety of the nation since 85% of its employees are “essential,” exempt from furloughs. TSA workers will still grope airline passengers during such a “shutdown,” just as before.
So the “shutdown” is a bully scare tactic that the Republicans should call the Democrats bluff on, but the Senate doesn’t have the backbone for it.
Moreover, as House Speaker John Boehner pointed out to reporters on Thursday, “we passed a bill to fund the department six weeks ago — six weeks ago!”
As Rep. Steve King, R-Iowa, correctly recalled regarding the last DHS shutdown, “I don’t remember anybody noticing.”
Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, this week strongly opposed Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell’s “clean” DHS bill, with separate anti-executive amnesty legislation later. “Congress is obliged to use every constitutional check and balance we have to rein in President Obama’s lawlessness, and that includes … the power of the purse,” he said.
Many Republican senators have six or four years to go before worrying about re-election; with a two-year term, GOP House members don’t have that luxury.
If the Stupid Party wants to get smart and make next year one of victory in the executive and legislative branches — instead of going home to angry “town hell” meetings with base voters — it will stand strong now. (IBD)


Creating a Plastic Middle Chair Mold
Plastic is a versatile and widely used material in various industries. One common application of plastic is in the production of chairs. Chairs made of plastic are lightweight, durable, and affordable, making them a popular choice for both indoor and outdoor use. To manufacture plastic chairs efficiently and in large quantities, the use of molds is essential. In this article, we will explore the process of creating a plastic middle chair mold.
The first step in creating a plastic middle chair mold is to design the mold. This involves determining the dimensions, shape, and features of the chair. The design process may be done manually or by using computer-aided design (CAD) software. CAD software allows for precise and detailed designs, ensuring that the mold will produce chairs that meet the desired specifications.
Once the mold design is complete, the next step is to prepare the materials for mold fabrication. The most commonly used material for chair molds is steel. Steel molds are durable and can withstand the high pressures and temperatures involved in the plastic injection molding process. The steel is machined and shaped according to the mold design, taking into account factors such as parting lines, draft angles, and cooling channels.
After the mold material is prepared, it is time to proceed with the mold fabrication. The fabrication process involves a series of steps, including rough machining, finish machining, and polishing. During rough machining, excess material is removed from the steel block to form the basic shape of the mold. Finish machining refines the mold\’s shape and dimensions, while polishing ensures a smooth surface finish.
Once the mold fabrication is complete, it undergoes a process called mold fitting. Mold fitting involves assembling the different components of the mold, such as the core and cavity, as well as any additional features such as ejector pins or cooling channels. The components are carefully aligned and securely fastened to ensure that the mold operates smoothly and accurately.
With the mold fully assembled, it is ready for the plastic injection molding process. Plastic injection molding is a widely used manufacturing method for producing plastic products in large quantities. In this process, plastic pellets are melted and injected into the mold cavity under high pressure. The plastic then cools and solidifies, taking on the shape of the mold. Once the plastic has fully hardened, the mold opens, and the finished chair is ejected.
Creating a plastic middle chair mold requires precision, expertise, and attention to detail. Each step in the process, from mold design to fabrication and fitting, plays a crucial role in ensuring the quality and functionality of the final product. With advancements in technology and manufacturing techniques, the process of creating plastic molds has become more efficient and cost-effective.
The creation of a plastic middle chair mold involves several steps, including mold design, material preparation, fabrication, fitting, and plastic injection molding. By carefully following each step and ensuring the highest quality standards, manufacturers can produce durable and aesthetically pleasing plastic chairs. The use of molds in the production process allows for consistent and efficient manufacturing, making plastic chairs accessible to a wide range of consumers.
