Brand new release from the former Myracle Brah frontman, the followup to his terrific Blisters And Thorns release from 2017! I mentioned how great Myracle Brah were in the review of Andys great Blisters And Thorns. But the even better news is that hes moved on a pace since then and Wherewithal just might be the best thing that he's ever done. The album reminds me a lot of Ian McNabb's latest, Our Future In Space. There are plenty of similarities. Melting Into Velveteen is interchangeable, it could be either's song. But the comparison goes deeper, as both will be compared to their previous band. Yet their solo work is far deeper, far more fulfilling, but will get less attention than what's gone before. Bopp leans more towards Psych Pop. McNabb to classic rock, but the charm and ability is equal. Both have produced exceptional albums this year. Sure And True is a wonderful example of how good Andy is now, it's got a killer Beatlesque chorus. Lonely Driver is indie joy, built around a funky bass riff. Push And Pull is pure Bowie, complete with sax and some incendiary guitar. It's a belter. Even the moody piano instrumental April Is Near. Theres really so much here. Closer Stranger Is Strange is all twangy moodiness, think Ian Hunter's The Outsider. Blind Faith is a haunting strum, it could make you weep, it's inspired. Shadow is anthemic in a Lennonesque manner. These 10 songs contain so much in them, so many twists and turns in each. Theyre all beautifully arranged and feature some outstanding guitar playing. You even find yourself singing along to the slower numbers. This is nothing like Myracle Brah and you wouldn't want it to be. Andy Bopp is at the top of his game. Wherewithal is a definite inclusion in my Top 10 of 2018. Moody, yet incredibly melodic. I can't recommend the album highly enough. IDontHearASingle.com GREAT!!

President Trump’s budget calls for eliminating federal funding for local afterschool and summer programs. It’s now up to us to tell Congress to reject the administration’s proposal, much like they did in March 2018, in a bipartisan manner. If the funding is not maintained, nearly two million children and families would be left without reliable afterschool choices.

The 1908 Estey Facade has been retained.
*16' Principal notes 1-12 are electronic.
*32' Bourdon notes 1-12 are electronic.
The challenges that new organ projects present to the builder is one aspect of our profession that makes our work so rewarding and enjoyable, and our Opus 53 for Main Street Baptist Church was no different. Once a specification was agreed upon, the task of how to fit 32 ranks in a space that previously held nineteen, all the while making service and tuning access simple, proved to be one of the greatest challenges of the project. The resulting layout, with the expressive divisions partially cantilevered on either side of the central Great organ allows for excellent tonal egress, tuning stability, and the aforementioned maintenance access.
Apart from the five ranks of new pipes made in our shop, the bulk of the pipework comes from existing material, either from the previous organ or from our stock. Existing pipework is cleaned, rebuilt, and revoiced to provide brand new tone from old pipes. Notable is the Great chorus, with pipework from the famed American builder Ernest Skinner, and the Solo Tuba from a 1930s M.P. Möller organ, voiced by Möller tonal director Richard O. Whitelegg. The 16´ octave of the Tuba presented one of the greatest challenges to the layout, and though jokingly at first, we realized that its installation horizontally in the Solo chamber not only solved the layout issue, but satisfyingly stretched our engineering abilities.
The tonal design and voicing, both of new and old ranks seek to coax the unforced beauty from each pipe, producing elegant individual voices, as well as a finely-blended and warm ensemble suitable to accompanying congregational and choral singing – the organ’s primary purpose. The instrument makes use primarily of electro mechanical action, for simplicity, economy, and reliability. Electro-pneumatic action is employed for large bass pipes, and for the high pressure Tuba. Pressures range from 3 to 11 inches water column.
An early E. M. Skinner drawknob console, rebuilt with new Harris stop and coupler controls and a Classic Organ Works relay system provide for control of the tonal resources.
Throughout the project, the close and easy relationship with the staff of the church, specifically Joseph Kotylo, has made this one of the more enjoyable jobs we have completed. We thank Main Street Baptist for entrusting us with the creation of its new organ, hoping it inspires church-goers and music lovers alike for generations.
Jason Ballard, Larry Chace, Erik Johansson, Paul McTaggart, Larry Nevin, Jonathan Ortloff, Carole Russell, and Stephen Russell.

If it were a prey bird creature like a dove, I would recommend my Pacifist Runner Style.
I feel like we need a Celestial Kitten Style. Emulate the adorableness, ability to get into anything, and sheer (accidental) mayhem of the adorable kitten!
Something with a lot of raw power, this comes to mind.
- Monkey - but I'd like to see it re-imagined.
- Leopard - cause it's also a real Kung Fu style and although Tiger is good there's still some great cat aspects not included by it, plus Snow Leopards are magnifiscent beasts, don't you agree?
- Falcon - a bird of prey style has been lacking since forever, and also what Stephen Lea Sheppard said. Falcon!
- Bat - I think it could be awesome if it had some synergy with shadow or blood abyssal-like concepts.
- Rat/Pig/Roach - I like the idea that these could come from Autochthonia, no one would put too much attention to this common critters in Creation, but inside the Great Maker they may have catched the attention of a martial artists since they are some of the few living beings there.
I'd like a tortoise style of some kind. Compatible with heavy armor, defensive focused. Maybe it even uses a shield?
Then why are you wanting a Martial Arts Charm (something that can be learned by any Exalt) to outperform it? Heck, given the abstraction of range bands in Ex3, I have reason to believe that it actually outperforms its old version in sheer terms of knocking people away from you.
How about a jumping and brachiating “Lemur Style”?
Brachiating honestly sounds like it would be pretty niche outside the East. I dunno, Do we have any fish styles that are meant to be used underwater or the like?
Would Bull Style be limited to cows? We have bull moose, bull elks, bull walruses, bull elephants, all of which would clash and wrestle for dominance.

We've had lots of beach fun this past week. Monkey is still getting used to her wellies (they fall off CONSTANTLY despite being padded out with socks and mama's handknitted babylegs!)but she loves her wet weather suit. We've been on the beach at Viking Bay and Botany Bay, the weather has been fantastic and we've been playing in the sand and having a paddle. We have an intrepid little explorer on our hands who loves to clamber over the rocks, it's a shame she is so light though, the wind almost blows her over.
She has this funny look, like she is about to bury you to the sand! That will teach you to make her pose for all that photos lol!
The wet weather suit rocks. My daughter is not bothered about rain either - she wants to go out whatever the weather. I'm jealous of your access to a beach though!
Aw, she looks so cute! You can't beat a wet weather suit - I think I almost fainted at the price when I bought Gwen's but it's given us lots of beach and bad weather fun.

In addition to becoming educated about the car model you have, there are other things that can help you out.Continue reading for some great tips to save yourself both time and money.
This certification guarantees that a mechanic has been tested and also shows he or she has at least two years of experience. This type of mechanic who will care about doing a good job so they can keep their certification.
Wash your car often so you can prevent rust from becoming a problem. Rust is an inevitability, but you can slow things down by keeping the car clean. A good wax can help you keep your paint job for a long time.
Make sure to have all repair records on hand. You may want to store them is the glove compartment for easy access. The people repairing your automobile are going to need to refer to these records. This will help them assess the process go more smoothly.
A spare tire and a jack are valuable items to have in your vehicle all of the time. Many newer cars have them. You would hate to be stuck somewhere you don’t know and be forced to spend money on a lot for towing. It will be quicker and less costly when you do it on your own.
Assemble an auto repair kit to keep in the trunk of your trunk. Your car came with equipment to change a tire and other necessary items.A good lug wrench and jack are essential. You should have a few screwdrivers with various shapes as well as different wrenches like for this kit.
Although shops are generally trustworthy, you do not want to have to spend some more unnecessary repairs. Try to find shops that specializes in fixing your particular type of car. These shops will give you the best bang for your car needs.
Ask about labor rates and prices before hiring a shop. Some shops have their rates in conspicuous places, so make sure you know exactly what they are.You must know what you’re billed for the repairs. Some stops estimate repair times established by the manufacturers they work with. Some “Minor” repairs can take all day if they go by those manufacturers’ established times.
Keep in mind that any DIY repairs for your car are risky. Always have somebody nearby that can assist you just in case of an emergency. Purchase quality tools that you know will last. This is especially true with tire changing tools. The jack has to be strong enough to keep the car.That’s why it’s best to get a hydraulic jack with jack stands that are approved.
Check the car’s tire pressure each time you fill up the tank. Look at the tires and ensure that they there is nothing embedded in them. Driving on the highway with faulty tires is not something you should ever do.
Take photos of your entire vehicle before taking it to the shop to get repaired. Some unethical shops may strip your car in order to up their bottom line. You should document what the vehicle looks like in case your mechanic fails to fix them or makes things worse.
Don’t buy any claims that come with a part will last you a lifetime. This may simply a money out of you. One example is that some vehicles say their transmission fluid.While you don’t have to change this a lot, it must be changed around every 80,000 miles.
After paying to replace old parts, have them return the older parts to you. If he won’t, it may be because the part was never replaced. This should be a red flag and the person needs to be called out about it.
Having written proof can be helpful if you need to complain down the future.
Listen to sounds made by your vehicle makes. Noise can mean everything when identifying a problem if you know what to listen for.
Learn about the different aspects of your car function. You can only avoid the mechanic if you possess a bit of auto repair knowledge yourself. You can save some money later by changing your oil or fixing a flat tire yourself.
The first obstacle you have to face with auto repair. You never want to have anything to do with a mechanic that seems shady. If a mechanic ignores your input, or avoids making eye contact, leave.
Find a mechanic who is already familiar with the make and model of your cars similar to yours. Ask whoever will be responsible for the repairs if they have previously worked on your make and model.
As said previously, learning the fundamentals of auto repair will benefit you later on. In addition to being able to help others and yourself, you will save tons of money. Do not forget the advice here so you can fix your car yourself.

Methods and systems for running and checkpointing parallel and distributed applications which does not require modification to the programs used in the system nor changes to the underlying operating system. One embodiment of the invention includes the following general steps: (1) starting an application on a parallel processing system; (2) controlling processes for the application, including recording of commands and responses; (3) controlling a commit protocol; (4) detecting failures of the application; (5) continuing execution of the application from the most recently committed transaction after "replaying" the recorded commands and responses. A second embodiment comprises the following general steps: (1) starting an application on a parallel processing system; (2) controlling processes for the application, including recurrent recording of the memory image of a driver program that controls the application; (3) controlling a commit protocol; (4) detecting failures of the application; (5) continuing execution of the application from the most recently committed transaction after "restoring" the recorded memory image of the driver program.
This invention relates to computer processing systems, and more particularly to methods and systems for reconstructing the state of an interrupted computation in a parallel processing computer environment.
Computational speeds of single processor computers have advanced tremendously over the past three decades. However, many fields require computational capacity that exceeds even the fastest single processor computer. An example is in transactional processing, where multiple users access computer resources concurrently, and where response times must be low for the system to be commercially acceptable. Another example is in database mining, where hundreds of gigabytes of information must be processed, and where processing data on a serial computer might take days or weeks. Accordingly, a variety of "parallel processing" systems have been developed to handle such problems. For purposes of this discussion, parallel processing systems include any configuration of computer systems using multiple central processing units (CPUs), either local (e.g., multiprocessor systems such as SMP computers), or locally distributed (e.g., multiple processors coupled as clusters or MPPs), or remotely, or remotely distributed (e.g., multiple processors coupled via LAN or WAN networks), or any combination thereof.
Complex data processing applications running on parallel processing systems typically make changes to multiple external collections of data (files, databases, etc.). Such applications do this by running one or more programs either concurrently or sequentially. If a failure occurs, partial changes may have been made to the external collections of data, which render that data unusable by the current application or other applications. In parallel processing systems, the problem is intensified since the collection of data will often be spread over many different nodes and storage units (e.g., magnetic disks), making the work required to "roll back" the state of the data increase proportionately with the number of storage units. Similarly, the number of programs which must be terminated can be large.
(2) restore the state of the system to an intermediate "checkpoint" and restart execution from that point (a "partial rollback").
Partial rollbacks from a checkpoint (also known as "checkpointing") has advantages over full rollbacks, in that less work will be lost if a failure occurs, and partial rollbacks require less information to be retained. However, checkpointing is a complex technical problem, because it is difficult to (1) capture the state of running programs; (2) consistently roll-back the state of all data files being modified; and (3) capture data in transit between programs (e.g., data being sent via a network). The problem is compounded by the fact that, in most cases, application programs must be specially written to provide checkpointing. In general, it is not possible to modify programs not designed for checkpointing to add explicit calls to a checkpointing software package without substantial changes to the source code for the program. Furthermore, most operating systems do not provide facilities to capture data in transit between programs.
Accordingly, there is a need for a method of providing checkpointing for applications which do not specifically provide for checkpointing. The present invention provides such a method that is particularly useful for applications running on parallel processing systems, and is also used for applications running on distributed processing systems.
(5) continuing execution of the application from the most recently committed transaction after "replaying" the recorded commands and responses.
(5) continuing execution of the application from the most recently committed transaction after "restoring" the recorded memory image of the driver program.
(1) Central Control. Applications are run from a central point of control. In the preferred embodiment, a single "driver" program with a single thread of control instantiates and monitors all programs and data collections which form the application.
(2) Control via Host and Agents. To allow for distribution of processing over multiple nodes, a program called an "agent" is used to actuate changes on remote nodes. In the preferred embodiment, a separate agent is instantiated on each node. Overall control of the system is maintained by a "host" program, which manages communications with the driver program and agents, and maintains the global system state.
(3) A Single Command Channel. A "command channel" is maintained between the driver program and the host program. In the preferred embodiment, the driver program effects changes on the system solely through a set of commands and replies using the command channel.
(4) Recording of Command Channel Traffic or Memory Image. In the first embodiment, all commands and replies passing over the command channel are recorded by the host program and saved in non-volatile storage. In the second embodiment, the memory image of the driver program that controls the application is recurrently recorded by the host program and saved in non-volatile storage.
(5) Transaction-based Control. In the preferred embodiment, all operations performed via the command channel use a commit protocol (preferably a two-phase commit protocol) to ensure global atomicity.
(6) Recovery With Recapitulation. Using the above mechanisms, the invention provides the ability to "recover" a failed application by simply rerunning it. Briefly stated, the state of all data is restored via the commit protocol, then either the recorded traffic on the command channel is used to "trick" the driver program into believing the driver program is executing the application de novo, or the memory image of the last known good state for the driver program is restored. Owing to the deterministic nature of single-threaded computer programs, the driver program will of necessity end up, as of the last known good state, in the same state as it did the first time the program was run.
The principal intended use of the invention is in traditional data processing applications (e.g., accounting systems, batch transaction systems, etc.), but the invention could be applied to almost any computer application which makes changes to files or databases.
FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing the software components and the flow of control of a checkpointing system in accordance with the present invention.
FIG. 2a is block diagram showing normal execution of a checkpointed program in accordance with the present invention.
FIG. 2b is block diagram showing a failure during execution of the checkpointed program of FIG. 2a.
FIG. 2c is block diagram showing recovery from the failure of FIG. 2b.
FIG. 3 is block diagram showing the software components and the flow of control of a checkpointing system during recovery from a failure in accordance with the present invention.
FIG. 4 is a flow chart showing in summary form the basic functional operations of the recapitulation embodiment of the present invention.
FIG. 5 is a flow chart showing in summary form the basic functional operations of the restoration embodiment of the present invention.
FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing the software components and the flow of control of a checkpointing system in accordance with the present invention. A host system 10 includes a host program 12, a driver program 14, and a data storage system 16 for recording commands and replies. The host program 12 and driver program 14 are intercoupled by a command channel 18 (which may be, for example, a logical channel on a physical bus). In the preferred embodiment, the host program 12 is actually an object within the address space of the driver program 14. A separate process running the host program could be implemented instead. However, the division into a `host program` and a `driver program` is a convenient way to describe the architecture of the present invention.
The host system 10 is coupled to at least one remote system 20 by means of an agent communication channel 22 (which may be, for example, a logical channel on a conventional physical data link 22). Within each remote system 20 is an agent 24 which is coupled to remote data storage 26.
All components shown in FIG. 1 are active during normal execution. The driver program 14 issues commands to the host program 12 to effect operations on applications on various remote systems 20. The host program 12 responds to such commands by issuing commands to one or more agents 24 to perform the requested operations. The agents 24 reply back to the host program 12 when the operations are completed, and the host program 12 in turn replies back to the driver program 14. All commands and replies between the driver program 14 and host program 12 are recorded in the data storage system 16.
FIG. 2a shows normal execution of a checkpointed system in accordance with the present invention. In the example shown, the application executes in three phases, beginning in an Initial state 0, proceeding through Phase 0 to a Checkpoint 1 state, then proceeding through Phase 1 to a Checkpoint 2 state, and then through Phase 2 to a Final state.
FIG. 2b is a block diagram showing a failure during execution of the checkpointed program of FIG. 2a. A failure may occur, for example, if one of the nodes "crashes" and has to be restarted. In the example shown, sometime after the Checkpoint 1 state has been reached, a failure occurs. Execution is halted in the middle of Phase 1, leaving the external state of the parallel processing systems in an undesirable Failure state.
FIG. 2c is a block diagram showing recovery from the failure shown in FIG. 2b using the present invention. When the application is recovered by re-executing it, operations performed in failed Phase 1 are rolled back, returning the external state of the processing system to the state that existed at the Checkpoint 1 state. All completed phases (in this example, Phase 0) are then "recapitulated" or "restored". In recapitulation, the driver program 14 restarts from its initial state and functions normally. However, no external state changes occur until the driver program 14 reaches the same state that existed at the Checkpoint 1 state. In restoration, a saved image of the driver program 14 is restored and then functions normally from that point. Thereafter, the failed phase (Phase 1 in this example) and all subsequent phases are executed normally, taking the application through the Checkpoint 2 state and thence to the Final state.
FIG. 3 is a block diagram showing the architecture of a checkpointing system in accordance with the present invention during recapitulation. During the recapitulation mode, the driver program 14 starts over from the Initial state. Each command from the driver program 14 is reissued to the host program 12, which matches that command to recorded commands and replies previously stored in the data storage system 16. As long as the sequence of commands from the driver program 14 matches the recorded commands, the corresponding recorded replies can be fed back by the host program 12 to the driver program 14, in effect "tricking" the driver program 14 into thinking that the phases being recapitulated are in fact executing normally. However, no data is actually transformed, moved, etc. Thus, the recapitulation stage proceeds extremely fast, until the driver program 14 reaches the last known good checkpoint state. At that point, the host program 12 switches out of the recapitulation mode, and back into the normal operating mode, supplying commands from the driver program 14 to agents 24 in the remote systems 20, in normal fashion.
The invention may be implemented in hardware or software, or a combination of both. However, preferably, the invention is implemented in computer programs executing on programmable computers each comprising a processor, a data storage system (including volatile and non-volatile memory and/or storage elements), at least one input device, and at least one output device. Program code is applied to input data to perform the functions described herein and generate output information. The output information is applied to one or more output devices, in known fashion.
Each such computer program is preferably stored on a storage media or device (e.g., ROM or magnetic diskette) readable by a general or special purpose programmable computer, for configuring and operating the computer when the storage media or device is read by the computer to perform the procedures described herein. The inventive system may also be considered to be implemented as a computer-readable storage medium, configured with a computer program, where the storage medium so configured causes a computer to operate in a specific and predefined manner to perform the functions described herein.
(1) Remote Procedure Call. This call causes a command to be executed by a remote agent 24. The Remote Procedure Call (RPC) command specifies the node on which the command is to be executed. If no agent is currently running on that node, the host program 12 starts up a remote agent 24 on that node.
(2) Start Process. This command causes a process to be started by an agent 24. Again, the command specifies the node on which the process is to be run. If no agent is currently running on that node, the host program 12 starts up a remote agent 24 on that node.
(3) Wait. This command causes function execution of the driver program 14 to be suspended until all processes have finished execution.
(4) Prepare; Commit; Rollback. These three commands have their usual prior art meaning with regard to a conventional two-phase commit transaction processing protocol.
(1) Remote Procedure Call Reply. The contents of this message are specific to the procedure which was invoked by an RPC command.
(2) Process ID. When a process is started on a system (host 10 or remote 20), the system replies with an identifier for that process.
(3) Wait Status. An indication as to whether the various processes terminated successfully.
(4) Prepare/Commit/Rollback Status. A success or failure status indicator.
(d) Abort. This command signifies that execution is to be halted. The host program 12 will attempt to perform a rollback (this may fail if, for example, one of the nodes involved in the computation has crashed). Whether or not the rollback succeeds, the command channel 18 is typically destroyed. An Abort may be manually issued by the driver program 14 if, for example, the driver program 14 detects a run-time failure. An Abort may also be implicitly issued if the driver program 14 fails.
(e) Finish Job. This command signifies that no more work is to be done. The command channel 18 is typically destroyed, and all changes made by the application become irrevocable.
(f) Additional Commands. Additional commands may be added as desired, but are not important for purposes of this disclosure.
(1) The driver program 14 issues a series of RPCs (e.g., to set up data files, etc.), which will be needed by one or more application programs.
(2) Optionally, the driver program 14 issues a series of Start Process commands.
(3) If any processes have been started, then after a desired number of processes have been started, the driver program 14 issues a Wait command, and suspends operation until the wait is complete, thus giving time for the processes to complete. In general, all processes that need to cross-communicate with other processes should be started concurrently.
(4) The sequence of steps (1)-(3) may be repeated several times, if desired.
(5) The driver program 14 issues Prepare and Commit commands, causing the current transaction to be committed and any changes made during the current transaction to become permanent.
(6) Further phases of execution follow.
A key step is issuing the Wait command on a recurring basis, since after this command terminates it is guaranteed that there are no active application programs in the system, and that there is no data in transit in communication channels. This characteristic allows the invention to work around the difficulties inherent in capturing the states of running programs and capturing data in transit in communication channels.
A consequence of this design is that checkpoints may not be created while programs are running. If one of the application programs runs for several hours, then there will necessarily be a period of several hours when it is not possible to create a checkpoint. It is the responsibility of the driver program 14, which will often be written by a user of this system, to ensure that the run-time of any phase is not excessive.
The host system 10 creates a state database for itself(the "Host SDB"). Each agent 24 also creates its own state database (the "Agent SDBs"). The Host SDB is used to record command channel traffic when using the recapitulation embodiment of the present invention, to record which phase is being executed, and to record information needed for commit processing. The Agent SDBs are used to record information for recovery processing and commit processing. In the preferred embodiment, an SDB exists in memory only for the life of the program which accesses it. However, all changes to the SDB are recorded sequentially in an ordered journal file (a "log") in non-volatile storage, such as the data storage system 16. At any time, an SDB can be reconstructed in memory from the corresponding log. In the preferred embodiment, the log is the only persistent storage associated with an SDB. Reconstruction of an SDB is performed by starting with an empty database and reading from the log a series of changes to the database, and reflecting the changes in the in-memory database contents.
In the preferred embodiment, all entries to an SDB are in the form of a pair of text strings: a key and a value. When writing an entry (a "Put"), the calling program supplies a key/value entry which is stored in the database. If an entry having the identical key existed before the Put operation, it is replaced. When reading an entry (a "Get"), the calling program supplies a key, and if an entry exists having that key, its value string is returned. In addition, in the preferred embodiment, the SDB interface allows for the creation of lists, which are sequences of entries which can be accessed sequentially rather than by key. List entries are normal string values.
A user "opens" an SDB by supplying the name of a log file. If the log file exists, it is read, and the corresponding SDB is reconstructed from the log contents. If the log file does not exist, a log file is created and an SDB is created in memory as an empty data structure. The SDB is then available for Put and Get operations until it is closed. Closing a database is effected explicitly using a Close operation, or implicitly if the accessing program ceases to exist.
(1) An SDB Commit operation is performed.
(2) An SDB Rollback operation is performed, which cancels the effects of the entire transaction on the SDB.
(3) The SDB is closed, which implicitly rolls back any active transactions to the last known good state.
In the preferred embodiment, transactions on an SDB are not part of the global commit architecture, and have a much finer granularity.
(1) Job ID. The host program 12 creates a unique identifier called the "Job ID" using the Internet address of the system on which the host program 12 is running, a time stamp, and the process ID of the host program 12.
(2) Host SDB. The host program 12 creates the Host SDB, using the Job ID as an identifier. In the preferred embodiment, the Job ID is stored in the Host SDB.
(3) Recovery File. The host program 12 also writes a file called a "recovery file" to the data storage system 16 at the start of its execution. This file also contains the Job ID, which can be used to open the Host SDB.
(b) Remote Nodes and Agents. The host program 12 starts processes and operates on files/databases via one or more agents 24. Each agent 24 establishes a bidirectional connection (an agent command channel 22) with the host program 12, for transmitting commands to the agent 24 and receiving replies from the agent 24. An agent 24 is started on each remote system 20 where application programs will be run or on which files or other data collections are located. In the preferred embodiment, agents 24 are started on an as-needed basis, instead of all at once at the start of an application.
(c) Execution of Phases. The host program 12 uses agents 24 to implement the division of execution of a non-checkpointing application into phases, as directed by the driver program 14. The host program 12 is responsible for the transactional mechanisms which implement this division, and performs certain bookkeeping and coordination functions, as described below.
In the preferred embodiment, phases are numbered starting at zero. A phase is always in one of four "states": RUNNING, ERROR, PREPARED, or COMMITTING. When a new phase is started, it is in the RUNNING state. It continues in the RUNNING state as remote operations are performed during the phase.
The current phase number and its state are recorded in the Host SDB. This information is recorded at every state transition. At any time during the phase, the driver program 14 can invoke the Rollback function. This function causes the effects of all operations performed so far during a current phase to be nullified, returning all changed state back to what it was at the start of the phase, and putting the phase into the RUNNING state.
During each phase, while in the RUNNING state, the driver program 14 may issue Start Process and Remote Procedure Calls (RPC) commands to the host program 12. The host program 12 forwards those commands to the appropriate agent 24, gathers replies from each agent 24, and sends the replies to the driver program 14. In the recapitulation embodiment of the present invention, all of these commands and corresponding replies are recorded in the Host SDB. This information is used for the "recapitulation mode", described below.
Once all processes started by the driver program 14 have exited, the driver program 14 can invoke the Prepare function, putting the current phase of an application into the PREPARED state. Following this, the driver program 14 can invoke the Commit function, which causes all effects of all operations performed during the phase to be completely, correctly, and irrevocably made, thus ending the phase. The Rollback function can also be called in the PREPARED state, with the same effect as if called before the Prepare function.
1) Storing the recorded command channel data from the current phase in the Host SDB, using a key containing the current phase number. If such information already existed (e.g., due to a prior execution of the same phase which failed during commit processing), it will be overwritten.
2) Sending a Prepare command from the host program 12 to each agent 24 which executed commands during the phase. Each agent 24 will, in accordance with the conventional two-phase commit protocol, enter a PREPARED state such that, at any subsequent time, it may either execute a Rollback command which will restore the state of all resources under the control of the agent 24, or a Commit command which will make permanent all changes to all resources under the control of the agent 24. This PREPARED state must be durable, i.e., it must be possible to reconstruct the prepared state after a system failure, and then to either execute a Rollback or a Commit operation. When the PREPARED state has been attained, each agent 24 will signal this fact by responding to the Prepare command.
3) Waiting for all agents 24 to indicate successful completion of the Prepare command.
4) Setting the state of the host program 12 to PREPARED, and noting that change in the Host SDB.
1) Setting the state of the host program 12 to COMMITTING, and noting that change in the Host SDB.
2) Sending a Commit command to each agent 24 which executed commands during the phase. Each agent 24 will then cause all changes to all resources under its control to become permanent, possibly erasing information which might have been required in the event of a rollback. When such processing is complete, it will signal this fact by responding to the Commit command.
3) Waiting for all agents 24 to indicate successful completion of the Commit command.
4) Setting the state of the host program 12 to RUNNING, incrementing the phase number, and noting these changes in the Host SDB.
(1) Debugging. The driver program 14 may use some informational commands to debug the application and/or gather diagnostic information, in known fashion.
(2) Exiting. As the driver program 14 exits, the host program 12 may attempt to issue a Rollback command on behalf of the driver program 14.
(3) Rollback. The driver program 14 may issue a Rollback command, which will place the system in its state as of the start of the current phase, undoing any changes to files/databases, as described above.
(2) In any state other than COMMITTING, an error condition causes transition to the ERROR state. This state may be exited by a Rollback command, which will place the system in the RUNNING state, or if the driver program 14 exits.
(3) In the RUNNING state, a Prepare operation causes transition to the PREPARED state. During the RUNNING or PREPARED state, a Rollback operation causes the phase to be undone, in which case the phase number stays the same, and the system transitions back to the RUNNING state.
(4) In the PREPARED state, a Commit operation causes transition to the COMMITTING state. This state endures for the duration of the Commit operation, then advances the phase number, ending the current phase and starting a new phase in the RUNNING state. Once the Host SDB records the transition to the COMMITTING state, the detection of an error will cause the system to abort. Upon restarting the system, the COMMIT operation will be completed. No rollback is possible while in the COMMITTING state.
After completion (committing) of all phases of the application, the driver program 14 issues a Close command, which indicates that the application has successfully completed. This operation deletes the recovery file and the Host SDB.
In the restoration embodiment of the present invention, the procedure is similar, but with several exceptions. First, commands and replies are not stored in the Host SDB. Rather, after the Prepare command has been issued by the driver program 14 and executed by the host program 12 and agents 24, a memory image file of the driver program 14 is stored, preferably to non-volatile storage such as a disk drive, in known fashion. The memory image comprises either the entire address space (including swap files, etc.) for the driver program 14, or only those critical data structures of the driver program 14 (as determined by a programmer for a particular implementation of the driver program 14) necessary to recreate a saved state for the driver program 14. Once writing of a memory image file is confirmed (for example, by comparing the program image still in memory to the stored image file) and the system enters the Prepared state, the Commit command is issued by the driver program 14 and executed by the host program 12 and agents 24, as above. In the preferred embodiment, a next memory image file is written and confirmed before a prior memory image file is deleted (i.e., "A" and "B" copies are maintained, in known fashion). A prior memory image file should be deleted only after a Commit operation completes.
(d) Recovery. Any application which terminated without having executed the Close operation is considered to have failed. When the application is restarted, recovery is triggered. In the preferred embodiment, whenever a host program 12 is started, it checks for the existence of a recovery file. In the preferred embodiment, if the file exists, the host program 12 assumes that a prior failure occurred, and that the intent is to restart the prior job.
The first step in recovery is to restore all files and databases to their most recently committed state. If the Host SDB indicates a state of RUNNING, ERROR, or PREPARED, then the host program 12 issues a Rollback command, causing all uncommitted operations to be undone, in known fashion. If the Host SDB indicates a state of COMMITTING, the host program 12 re-issues the Commit command, completing what was evidently an interrupted Commit operation.
In the recapitulation embodiment of the present invention, the host program 12 then enters the recapitulation mode. As noted above, the driver program 14 interacts with the rest of the system via a single command channel 18, the traffic on which is automatically stored in the Host SDB during Commit processing, using a key containing the appropriate phase number. When recapitulating the phase, the host program 12 will start by retrieving the saved command channel traffic from the Host SDB. For recapitulation, the driver program 14 is restarted from its initial state, and functions normally. For the duration of recapitulation, all commands sent by the driver program 14 are discarded by the host program 12 (after, for safety sake, comparing them with the recorded command message traffic; however, this is optional). Whenever the driver program 14 expects to receive a reply message via the command channel 18, a reply is fetched by the host program 12 from the recorded incoming reply traffic on the data storage system 16 and immediately provided to the driver program 14. Owing to the deterministic nature of single-threaded computer programs, this process will result in the driver program 14 executing the same sequence of commands as it did during the failed run, and the controlled application program will end up in the same state as it did on the previous ran.
(2) All files and databases have also been restored (by use of the two-phase commit protocol) to their state as of the most recent Commit operation.
Thus, the system's state is restored and execution may proceed normally.
(1) If the Host SDB indicates a state of PREPARED and there are two saved memory image files (A and B), then the host program 12 deletes the newer file (thus prohibiting a double Commit possibility), issues a Rollback command, and reloads into memory the older image file (i.e., the last known good saved image of the driver program 14). If the Host SDB indicates a state of PREPARED and there is one saved memory image file (A or B), then the host program 12 issues a Rollback command and reloads into memory that image file.
(2) If the Host SDB indicates a state of COMMITTING, then the host program 12 issues a Commit command and reloads into memory the newest image file.
(3) If the Host SDB indicates a state of RUNNING or ERROR and there are two saved memory image files, then the host program 12 issues a Rollback command and reloads into memory the newer image file; if there is one saved memory image file, then the host program 12 issues a Rollback command and reloads into memory that image file.
In any event, the host program 12 then re-establishes the command channel 18 and resumes execution of the driver program 14.
(1) If failure comes before entering the COMMIT state, a Rollback is performed and the oldest (pre-PREPARE state) memory image is used. If failure comes while in the COMMIT state, the Commit operation is finished and the newest (post-PREPARE state) memory image is used. If failure comes after entering the COMMIT state, a Rollback is performed and the newest (post-PREPARE state) memory image is used.
(2) All files and databases have also been restored (by use, for example, of the two-phase commit protocol) to their state as of the most recent Commit operation.
The description below applies to each agent 24 started by the host program 12. The term "local node" is used to indicate the system on which a particular agent 24 is running.
Each agent 24 performs the actual operations necessary to execute an application. An agent 24 is responsible for performing operations only on the remote system 20 on which it is running. These operations include execution of remote procedure calls, committing and rolling back such operations, and creating and monitoring processes. An agent 24 may be considered to reside "between" an application and the operating system in the sense that an agent 24 controls when and how an application can execute.
Commands are sent by the driver program 14 to an agent 24 via the host program 12 in the form of Remote Procedure Calls (RPCs). In the preferred embodiment, an RPC command consists of a command identifier followed by a series of arguments, all of which are text strings. The agent 24 contains a table mapping RPC command identifiers to "RPC handlers," where the handler is an object enabling the invocation of subroutines to perform the RPC, to commit the RPC, and to rollback the RPC. The agent 24 thus handles the RPC by locating the appropriate RPC handler, then providing that RPC handler with the RPC's arguments. The RPC handler routine parses the argument strings and performs the requested operation. Following this, the RPC handler routine produces a reply string which is sent back to the driver program 14 via the host program 12. Each reply string includes information on the success of the command and any requested return data. In the preferred embodiment, a special RPC is used to start processes, as explained below.
When an agent 24 is started, the first RPC command it receives is a Start Agent command. This command notifies the agent 24 of the Job ID for the application, and assigns to the local node a unique "Node ID". The agent 24 then opens a state database called the "Agent SDB". The Agent SDB name is derived from the Job ID and the Node ID, and so is unique throughout the application.
Each agent 24 tracks the phases of the application along with the host program 12. When the host program 12 performs a Prepare or Commit operation, it does so by sending Prepare Node and Commit Node RPC commands to each of its agents 24. In the preferred embodiment, the driver program 14 will only consider the application as a whole to be in the PREPARED state once all agents 24 have successfully responded to their individual Prepare Node commands. Similarly, the application will only consider a phase committed and advance to the next phase when all agents 24 have successfully responded to their Commit Node commands.
Each agent 24 records the current phase and as state in its Agent SDB. The four defined states and the allowed state changes are as in the host program 12, and in the normal case, track those of the host program 12. The current phase state (and the current phase number) can be retrieved by the driver program 14 using a "NodeState" RPC command.
When the driver program 14 invokes the Close function, it issues a Close command to each agent 24. Each agent 24 responds by verifying that the local phase state is running and that no processes are executing, and then deletes its associated Agent SDB.
In the preferred embodiment, each agent 24 performs RPC operations which are part of the phase and therefore are subject to the commit/rollback transaction architecture. To do this, each agent 24 makes use of its Agent SDB. Specifically, for each phase, an agent 24 creates in its Agent SDB a list called the "CR-- LIST", into which an entry is placed for each operation. Each entry carries enough information to undo the operation, in known fashion. The list is preferably ordered so that the operations can be undone in the reverse order in which they were performed.
(1) If an RPC changes the state of a file/database, it must save any information which may be required to roll back changes to that file/database, and create an entry in the CR-- LIST. This entry must contain the identity of the RPC command being executed, so that the appropriate RPC handler may be located during commit/rollback processing.
(2) Each RPC handler must provide a means of implementing the Prepare, Commit, and Rollback operations (which may be Null operations if the RPC does not make changes to any databases or files).
(3) Each RPC handler may optionally use the SDB of each agent 24 to store any information needed to fulfill these requirements.
(4) No special action is required for RPCs that do not change the state of files/databases.
(1) If a process modifies files/databases, it must provide a means of rolling back changes and of implementing the Prepare/Commit/Rollback operations. Processes under control of an agent 24 also have access to the agent's SDB. For example, the application program may create entries on the CR13 LIST. Such entries must contain the identifier for an RPC command which implements the appropriate commit/rollback operations. However, in this case, an RPC did not actually take place, so an identifier for a "dummy RPC" is entered.
(2) Alternatively, the driver program 14 may issue RPCs on behalf of a process which will have the same effect.
(1) The executable image file for the program.
(2) The program's argument list.
(3) Any operating system environment information required by the program.
(4) Files or pathnames to be opened for the process for use as its standard input, output, and error channels.
(5) The exit status code with which the program should exit to indicate successful execution.
(6) A debug mode (debugging is described below).
Each agent 24 maintains a list of all processes under its control. As processes are started, identifiers for those processes are added to this list.
In the preferred embodiment, each agent 24 does not wait for the termination of a process before replying to the driver program 14. Each agent 24 allows the process to execute concurrently with the agent 24, while monitoring execution of the process. At all times, an agent 24 is aware of the "process state" of the process, which is one of PS-- RUNNING, PS-- ERROR, PS-- DEBUG, or PS-- EXITED in the preferred embodiment.
The PS-- RUNNING state indicates that a program process is executing without known problems. The PS-- ERROR state indicates that the process is known to have encountered an unresolvable problem, and has either (1) signaled an error condition (a signal or error trap), (2) exited with an error status indicating failure, or (3) exited in an abnormal manner (e.g., by aborting or by being manually terminated by an operator). The PS-- EXITED state indicates that the process has successfully completed execution and has terminated itself normally. The PS-- DEBUG state is described under "debugging" below.
(4) the aggregate state is PS-- EXITED (all processes have exited normally).
Transitions in the node process state affect the node's commit/rollback state. Specifically, if the node process state transitions into the PS-- ERROR, state, then the node's commit/rollback state will automatically transition to the ERROR state. Additionally, it is only legal to transition from the RUNNING state to the PREPARED state, or from the PREPARED state to the COMMITTING state if the process state is PS-- EXITED.
The aggregate process state can be retrieved by the driver program 14 using the NodeState agent command.
In the preferred embodiment, processes may emit error messages through standard error I/O channels. For example under UNIX, this is the "stderr" I/O file. Such output may be optionally routed to the agent 24 from any process, and is available to the driver program 14 via an "Eread" RPC command.
The driver program 14 is often in a circumstance where it cannot continue execution until all processes started on a node or set of nodes complete execution. To accommodate this circumstance, the agent 24 supports a "Wait" command from the driver program 14. The Wait command causes an agent 24 to delay its reply until the node process state ceases to be the PS-- RUNNING state (i.e., the state is PS-- DEBUG, PS-- ERROR, or PS-- EXITED). The reply to the Wait command indicates the processes that caused the Wait condition to terminate. The driver program 14 can also cancel the Wait condition by sending a "sync" RPC command to the agent 24 during the Wait condition. The Sync command works whether or not an intervening wait reply is accidentally received (because the wait reply and the sync command crossed in the command channel 18).
From time to time, it is useful for the driver program 14 to allow the user to debug a particular process in the system. Debugging entails running a process under the control of a standard debugger as available under a particular operating system. A user may wish to debug a process from the beginning of its execution. Alternatively, the user may wish to debug a process only if it encounters an error condition, i.e. when it transitions to the PS-- ERROR process state.
In the preferred embodiment, when a process is started (using the Start Process command), it can be specified to be run in any of three "debug modes": DEBUG-- NONE, DEBUG-- START, and DEBUG-- TRACE. No debugger will be run on a process in the DEBUG-- NONE debug mode. Processes specified with the DEBUG-- START mode will be run from the beginning with a debugger attached. Processes specified with the DEBUG-- TRACE mode will be monitored by the agent 24, and if they should go into any of various detectable error conditions (which may include error traps, signals, or aborts), they will be stopped and a debugger will be run attached to the failing process.
In the preferred embodiment, an agent 24 does not autonomously start the debugger. Instead, when a process is in need of debugging (as indicated by the debug mode), the agent 24 transitions the process to the PS-- DEBUG process state. This causes the aggregate process state to transition to PS-- DEBUG. This state is communicated to the driver program 14 (for example, this state will terminate a wait condition). At that time, the driver program 14 can invoke a debugger for the process using a "debug" RPC command. This command specifies a program to be executed, presumably a shell script, to which will be passed sufficient information (via the argument list) to start a debugger of choice.
Each agent maintains a local phase number and state which is stored in its Agent SDB. The phase number is kept in sync with that of the host program 12 via the prepare/commit protocol. The phase state is derived principally from the process state, and is used by the driver program 14 to compute the state of the current phase for the application as a whole.
(1) The Host SDB is used to determine the set of agent 24 processes running at the time of the failure.
(2) A new agent 24 is created on each such node.
(3) Each agent 24 is given a "Start Agent" command with the Job ID.
(4) The agents 24 recognizes this Job ID as an existing application, because the Agent SDB still exists (its name is derived from the Job ID).
(5) Each agent 24 opens its SDB, which is reconstructed from its log, and extracts the current phase number, state, and commit-rollback list.
(6) If the host program 12 is in state other than COMMITTING, it will then transmit a Rollback command to the agents 24, which causes the agents 24 to undo all operations performed in that phase, in reverse order. If, on the other hand, the host program 12 was in the COMMITTING state, it will re-issue a Commit command to the agents 24. Any agent 24 which finds itself in the COMMITTING state will complete what was evidently an interrupted commit operation by traversing the commit-rollback list in forward order, executing the commit methods of all entries. Any agent 24 which finds itself in the RUNNING state will treat the Commit command as a Null command (since the prior Commit operation evidently had completed on its node but not on some other nodes).
(7) At that point, the agents 24 consider themselves to be at the start of that phase in the RUNNING state, and can proceed to take commands from the driver program 14.
FIG. 4 is a flow chart showing in summary form the basic functional operations of the recapitulation embodiment of the present invention. The driver program 14 starts processes on remote systems 20 (Step 40). The host program 12 records all control commands from the driver program 14 (Step 41), as well as all replies to the driver program 14 (Step 42). Each agent 24 executes an application in phases on its respective remote system 20 (Step 43). The applications execute a prepare-commit protocol to store system and file states while maintaining system consistency (Step 44). If a failure occurs, the state of the system is restored and the driver program 14 restarts, issuing commands to the host program 12 (Step 45). The host program 12 reads matching replies for each command and sends the replies to the driver program 14, in a recapitulation mode, until done (Step 46). The driver program 14 then continues controlling the application processes from the last good checkpoint (Step 47).
FIG. 5 is a flow chart showing in summary form the basic functional operations of the restoration embodiment of the present invention. The driver program 14 starts processes on remote systems 20 (Step 50). Each agent 24 executes an application in phases on its respective remote system 20 (Step 51). The applications execute the prepare part of a commit protocol to store system and file states (Step 52). A memory image of the driver program 14 is stored after the prepare protocol is done (Step 53). The applications execute a commit protocol to complete saving of the system and file states while maintaining system consistency (Step 54). If a failure occurs, the state of the system is restored and the stored memory image of the driver program 14 is reloaded into memory (Step 55). The driver program 14 then continues controlling the application processes from the last good checkpoint (Step 56).
A number of embodiments of the present invention have been described. Nevertheless, it will be understood that various modifications may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. For example, the invention could be applied to single-CPU systems. Further, although a two-phase commit protocol is preferred, other commit protocols that safely save system state while maintaining system consistency may be used. Accordingly, it is to be understood that the invention is not to be limited by the specific illustrated embodiment, but only by the scope of the appended claims.

Amazing vid - we love it! Christ's death and resurrection told through Twitter statuses and messages. Hats off to its creators, Igniter Media - a Christian media collective with the matra "creating media, declaring truth" - who are really pushing boundaries. In a world filled with eye-catching creative innovations, it grows increasingly difficult for Christians to be heard and standout amongst the noise. Igniter Media look to be changing the game in new and attractive ways.

The schedule for the six-game extravaganza, an additional round of Super League matches that all take place at the same stadium over two days next May, was released on Sunday and promises to be as entertaining as ever.
Defending champions Saints, set to be led in 2015 by new coach Keiron Cunningham, will take on the Wolves on Sunday May 31 gunning for revenge following a 41-24 defeat at the hands of Tony Smith's side at this year's Magic Weekend.
Leeds and Wigan have played each other in each of the last two editions of the Magic Weekend - the latter running out narrow winners in both games - and will lock horns again a day earlier.
The Hull derby, a regular feature at the Magic Weekend, precedes the Leeds-Wigan clash, with Salford Red Devils and Widnes Vikings getting the action under way at St James' Park in Newcastle, the event having switched to a fourth UK city after being hosted previously in Cardiff, Edinburgh and most recently Manchester.
Catalan Dragons tackle Huddersfield Giants, while Castleford Tigers come up against Wakefield Trinity Wildcats to complete the line-up.
"Magic Weekend is long established as one of the sport's most popular events and from the uniformly positive feedback we have received since announcing that it was heading to St James' Park, it's clear that Magic Weekend 2015 will be very special indeed," said Super League general manager Blake Solly.

Colour can play a huge role in the world of print and can often have an impact on how customers will react to your promotional material. Certain colours are synonymous with certain feelings and it is this emotional connection that you need to consider when using colour in print. The role of colour in posters, flyers and brochures can be particularly impactful with strong vibrant colours often standing out. These colours may not always help get your message across so it is important to understand the psychology of colour when you are designing for print.
How do people respond to different colours?
Every colour carries with it a different response with psychologists carrying out regular studies to investigate the impact various colours have on consumers and their buying habits. Colours tend to be categorised as either warm or cool with different colours falling into these categories and evoking a response from consumers. Warm colours are often associated with energy while cooler colours are often associated with a calm and secure state. Below we take a look at the role of different colours when designing for print for your business.
Red: The colour red is associated with an increased heart rate and can often be associated with a number of emotions including danger, passion, energy and aggression. This colour really does cover many spectrums but it can often dominate a page or poster so it is important to be cautious when using it. Red is an extremely popular colour to promote special offers or sales as it grabs our attention. Red is a popular colour in the automotive, food and technology industries but tends to be unpopular for clothing, energy and finance.
Orange: Like red, orange is another colour that creates a sense of energy and when we think of orange we often think of heat and warmth. Just think of the sun or a roaring fire. Orange combines characteristics of two colours; red and yellow. It has the brightness of yellow and energy of red making orange a fun and exciting colour to use. Orange tends to be popular in technology and health industries but unpopular with clothing, energy, transport and finance.
Yellow: When it comes to print, yellow is one colour that can be hard to work with especially when used with white. It does however create a sense of optimism as we can often think of the sun. Yellow can work really well when used with red, especially when promoting sales and offers as it catches the customers eye. It is popular in food, energy and household industries but doesn’t tend to be used as much in the travel and technology sectors.
Pink: The colour pink has a strong feminine association and is often used to market to women and young girls. It is also a very calming colour that evokes a sense of romance. Just think of hearts and roses the colour pink comes to mind. When it comes to designing for print, pink is a very powerful tool in the beauty and clothing industries, particularly among young women. More recently it has been popular in the travel and automotive industry.
Black: The final warm colour on our list is black. While this may seem like a bit of a surprise, black is a very sophisticated colour when it comes to designing your print material for your customers. It is often associated with wealth and power and is used to promote luxury products. You will often find the colour black used as the primary colour in posters for goods like luxury cars, clothing and jewellery. Black is less popular when it comes to promoting areas like health care and energy.
Blue: Blue is one of the most popular colours among brands, particularly in print. If you think of some of the biggest global brands, IBM, Facebook, Intel, Samsung, HP and Nivea, they all use blue throughout their print material. Blue is a very calming colour that we often associate with the sky and the sea. It also evokes a sense of trust and security and is very popular in the financial and corporate industry along with the technology sector.
Purple: The colour purple is often associated with elegance but like blue it has soothing and calming influences. It also creates a sense of nostalgia but is a very powerful colour and one that can add real elegance to your printing needs. Purple is popular in the health and beauty industry but tends to be unpopular with energy and agricultural organisations.
Brown: It may not be the most popular or glamorous of colours when it comes to meeting your print requirements but one thing brown does really well is to create a natural connection. Brown evokes a connection with earth and is seen as an extremely durable colour often used in the clothing and agricultural sectors. You need to be cautious when using brown though as it is often associated with dirt and lack of cleanliness.
Green: The colour green is often seen as a fresh and healthy colour that also carries wealthy associations. It is also a colour that is really easy for the human eye and mind to process and can be very relaxing to look at. Green is extremely popular in the health industry and pharmacies in particular. It tends to be less popular in the airline industry although Aer Lingus who are the national carrier of Ireland are one airline company that are synonymous with the colour green.
White: The final colour on our list is the colour white, perhaps one of the most popular colours to work with in print. White works with almost every colour although it’s best to avoid using light shades of yellow and orange with white. The colour represents purity and cleanliness and can be a very clinical colour to use. Think of the fashion industry and wedding gowns or the health industry and lab jackets and you instantly think of white. More recently white has become a popular colour in the automotive and technology industries.
We hope that this gives you an insight into the psychology of some colours and how they are perceived by customers. You must also take into consideration your own corporate colours and the message you are looking to portray when you are deciding on what colours to use in print.
Connect with us on Facebook, Twitter and Google+ and let us know your favourite colours when it comes to creating your print requirements. What colour grabs your attention and which brands do you think use colour well?

In the most recent North Korea in the News at DPRK Studies, Richardson links to an article on Donga called, “Ex-Agent to North Korea Suing Japan” that I just can’t figure out. I was going to ask this as a question to Richardson on his blog directly, but I decided that it would be more appropriate to give it a post because it got long, and the focus of Richardson’s post was not this article alone, but many articles.
Aoyama is a Korean resident born in Japan. After entering into North Korea in 1960 when Japan repatriated Korean Japanese, he worked as an agent in North Korea, the Kyoto Press reported.
So he worked as a spy for the Japanese government in North Korea correct?
He requested the Japanese government to pay him 3.2 billion yen (about 25.6 billion won) for handing over sensitive information relating to North Korea’s nuclear program to the Japanese foreign affairs ministry.
And now he’s suing the Japanese government because??? Did he not get paid for the intel he sent to Japan or something?
“It is unfair not to recognize North Korean defectors as refugees,” and filed a suit at the Tokyo District court against the Japanese government asking for the recognition of North Korean defectors as a refugee, according to Japanese news outlets.
He throws in a complaint about the Japanese governments stance on refugees? So what is it he’s actually suing for? If it’s to make the Japanese government accept North Korean refugees, how does him pocketing 3.2 billion yen solve that problem?
A final question, the repatriation issue. Although the article made just a quick mention of it, the article makes it sound as though the government shipped out as many Koreans as possible. But in an article on Japan Focus, there is this blurb.
A massive wave of repatriation of Koreans living in Japan took place within a very short period of time. In November 1945, a government survey reported almost 1,156,000 Koreans remaining in Japan, or nearly 1,000,000 less than before Japan’s defeat, indicating that a huge repatriation had taken place within two months; in March 1946, another survey found that the number of Koreans remaining in Japan had been reduced to 647,000 (Morita 1996, p. 103). The repatriates presumed that they were returning to a Korea liberated from Japanese colonialism in the hope of making a better life.
Although the Japanese government promoted this early phase of repatriation, Koreans in Japan were its driving force. Numerous local Korean organizations were formed immediately after Japan’s surrender, and they came together in Choren (Zainippon Chosenjin Renmei, the League of Koreans Residing in Japan) in October 1945. Choren worked hard to facilitate repatriation by negotiating with the Japanese government, drawing up lists of repatriates, issuing certifications, and arranging transportation and accommodations. At this time, the border between Korea and Japan was not strictly enforced, and some Koreans went home simply by chartering small boats (Morita 1996; Wagner 1951; Morris-Suzuki 2006).
The Allied occupation officially launched a repatriation project in March 1946; by this time, however, the number of Koreans remaining in Japan who wished to repatriate had fallen sharply, as news filtered in about the desperate situation in Korea. The number of people who repatriated to Korea and then reentered Japan increased, and this was treated as “illegal” entry—even though these people held Japanese nationality/citizenship. More than 19,000 Koreans were arrested for illegal entry between April and December 1946. The repatriation project undertaken by the Allied occupation ended in 1950 in part because of the outbreak of the Korean War (1950-1953), and in part because of the decline in the number of people willing to repatriate. An official count of repatriates by the Japanese Ministry of Health and Welfare totaled approximately 1,015,000 (in addition, nearly 48,000 were deported for illegal reentry) between 1945 and 1950 (Morita 1996, p. 83 & p. 112).
So, many Korean people wanted to repatriate at first, and the government supported this, but before long people changed their minds and no longer desired to leave, sometimes even illegally entering the country to come back? If that’s the case, then why does this guy voluntarily moving to Korea have anything to do with his lawsuit, or is it just included in the article for a background on his personal life story?
I’m thoroughly confused; can someone make some sense of this for me, or is this whole article (and law suit) completely nonsensical?
If you didn’t know it, Koreans are sue crazy. This guy is just trying to steal more money from Japan, not unlike those prostitues hired by Korean pimps to service fine Japanese soldiers.
This spy should be dealt with the way the russians deal with spys.
It seems he filed two suits which are not essentical related at the same time.
One: he wants Japanese government to recognize him as a refugee.
Two :he wants money for the sectret document about North Korea which he siad he had handed to the Japanese government.
Probably he had no contract with Japanese government to work as a spy.
I think he had no connection with japanese government while he was in North Korea but he just stole the document from North Korea and he handed it to J government. And now he is demanding the money for it.
If it’s to make the Japanese government accept North Korean refugees, how does him pocketing 3.2 billion yen solve that problem?
His pocketing 3.2 billion yen does not solve that problem. It is probably completely different lawsuits, but for the sake of convenience he filed them at the same time.
It has nothing to do with his lawsuit.
or is it just included in the article for a background on his personal life story?
Looks like it’s the guy that wrote this book in 2002.
He wasn’t a Japanese spy working in NK, but a NK agent who used his Japanese abilities to spy on Japanese technology in China, sell technological info to China, and send the profits to NK. It seems he felt himself in danger of being labeled “not loyal enough to Kim,” and he defected to a Japanese embassy and traded his intelligence on NK for a visa to Japan. He is still a Chinese national, using the fake Chinese ID he used during his days as a NK agent. He is basically angry that the Japanese government is not giving full protection to its collaborators.
for the abductees by North Korea.
The North Korean Gravy Train doesn’t stop in Japan.
He (Aoyama) requested the Japanese government to (sic) pay him 3.2 billion yen (about 25.6 billion won) for handing over sensitive information relating to North Korea’s nuclear program to the Japanese foreign affairs ministry.
The Seoul Central Prosecutors Office charged Kim Seok-chul, the chairman of Sonoko Cuisineware Inc., and Kang Man-soo, head of Living Art Co., for colluding to embezzle 300 million won (about 37.4 million yen) – part of the 3 billion won in government loans which they received as aid for investing in Gaeseong.
“After receiving the loans on Oct. 26, 2004, Kim and Kang took the total amount of money in a month,” said a prosecutor investigating the case, declining to be identified.
Not content with 300 million won they then took another 3 billion won.
Noh Mu-hyeon must be deeply embarassed. The money for King Kim Jong-il went south of the border. Never mind. LVMH will still get their cut.

Family dynamics at weddings can be really tough. Nathan and I struggled with etiquette and personalities and who to invite and such, and then the deeper things. I regularly talk to my couples as they face all this, too. Every family is so different: closely-knit, big, small, struggling parents, divorces, estrangements, new marriages, 50+-year marriages, huge happy sibling packs, sister drama, brothers who hug, cousins closer than sisters... I love it. It's humanity. There really is no "normal", which I appreciate.

Netsurion has introduced a software-defined branch product for retailers, hotels and restaurants. The managed SD-branch, called BranchSDO, includes networking and security.
The first phase of integration between the Cisco Viptela SD-WAN and DNA Center is aimed at providing WAN access from branch offices.
SDN deployment varies among service providers and enterprises due to risks, costs and use cases. But, when it comes to SD-WAN, both groups appear to agree about the potential.
Silver Peak's Unity EdgeConnect SD-WAN is certified for AWS, Google Cloud and Microsoft Azure. Companies can deploy the product from the cloud providers' marketplaces.
When it comes to SD-WAN technology, deployment options vary, largely dependent on business requirements. But a multiple-vendors strategy might be better than all-in-one SD-WAN.
With the Talari acquisition, Oracle's communications unit gets SD-WAN technology that improves VoIP reliability. But the Talari SD-WAN also lacks important enterprise features.
Security vendor SonicWall added SD-WAN software to its firewall appliances while retail companies are hoping SD-WAN can reduce network complexity, according to a Forrester report.
MEF is making its SD-WAN standard available to members, with public availability expected in 2019. But analysts deem the specifications too low-level to effect change.
With SD-WAN implementation burgeoning, enterprises should ensure they have the internal staff to support the technology. And it doesn't hurt to plan for deployment challenges.
Comcast Business supports Alexa integration with its ActiveCore platform, allowing customers on the go to ask Alexa how their SD-WAN sites are performing.
Users debating MPLS vs. internet for SD-WAN connectivity should take the time to extensively research latency and quality-of-service requirements in terms of application performance.

I am frequently asked which is my preference – music or poetry and prose writing. Different ideas call for different vehicles and the artist who limits himself or herself to one medium has lost a valuable opportunity for further growth. I generally use as my response and reference point to these questions the examples of Paul Robeson and Langston Hughes, men who used a range of artistic media-song, poetry acting and oration – to convey in a variety of ways, contemporary social ideas and political circumstance. These ideas may have been common to most people on an individual level, but when placed in a creative context by the artist they dramatize, politicize, and promote a group level of conscience and awareness.
When I sat down to coordinate this introduction for an album and book I was once again, as a recording artist and writer, straddling an artistic fence. I have tried to pursue the combined experience of music, word rhythms, and social ideas in all my work.
The purpose of this two-day conference is firstly to cover the entire span of Gil Scott-Heron’s intermedial talent and to bring out the tight network of connections between his poetry, his two novels, his autobiography and, of course, his songs (words and music).
It is then to try and plot his intellectual and artistic itinerary over a three-decade career and situate him as accurately as possible on the spectrum of African-American radicalism. The spoken word enabled him to tap into never (as yet) explored nuances, that embraced politics and ethics. Close attention will be paid to orality, rhetoric, satire and the ways in which Scott-Heron transformed the poetic form of the song and continued the tradition of change and innovation in Black cultural expression.
A further aim is to examine his place as an American citizen and citizen of the world, a modern-day Jeremiah, an early whistleblower about concerns that were to become major ones.
Last but not least, we will trace out his artistic and literary influences beyond the ones he himself indicated, and decide what, as a spoken-word artist, his present influence may be in the specific case of British artist Kate Tempest, with whose work Gil Scott-Heron’s bears more than a superficial resemblance.

The team comprises lawyers and industry consultants and advises commercial operators and their insurers on contentious and non-contentious matters. The team has strength in depth and breadth. Sector-focused expertise, geographical reach from offices throughout the UK and an international network of experts and business partners enable us to respond to our marine clients' particular needs quickly and efficiently.
Our understanding of the marine industry goes beyond interpretation of legal conventions, rules and regulations and extends to practical and operational expertise emanating from years of working in partnership with marine industry leaders.
Risk management, risk avoidance and brand protection are at the heart of our offering. Our specialist team offers practical, commercial and strategic solutions to the issues which affect your marine business.
All members of the team are available on a 24/7 basis via our designated emergency response contact number +44 (0)345 070 1412.
Our team of specialists advises ship operator and insurer clients (P&I, Hull and Machinery) on a range of liability issues in the areas of carriage of goods, time and voyage charterparties, cargo sale and supply contracts, and port and terminals liability, dealing in both defence and recovery matters. Our involvement ranges from routine laytime and demurrage disputes to financial disputes under charterparties and more complex matters involving cargo condition and specification. We deal with that which touches the water.
We have a wealth of experience in disputes involving loading/discharging operations, cargo shortage, contamination and loss, collisions, groundings. We act in all relevant forums including LMAA, LCIA, ICC , in the English courts and in mediation.

We also provide more general, costs effective solutions to simple debt recovery issues.
Guidance on strategic challenges and industry developments is a fundamental part of our role as legal advisers. Insight means knowing what's keeping you awake at night today, and what will be doing so in six months time. The test for us, and where you get real value, is our translating these into opportunities for future development.
Helping your people become more effective is the best way of giving you better value. It's a given most law firms will offer you a training package - in this respect, we are no different - but here the similarities end. It isn't about rolling out an off the shelf package; it's about harnessing our intelligence. Giving you access to our knowledge - increasing the capability of your teams, strengthening your business and minimising risk is our goal. Where we make a real difference is by spotting training opportunities through our ongoing relationship.
In challenging economic times, where budgets are under scrutiny and boards are under pressure to reduce legal spend, the biggest difference we can make to our clients is by saving them money by doing the best job possible and advising you of when and how our services are best applied.
By identifying avoidable litigation we can create a win-win situation for all parties. Our "costs clock" is not always running. Even a major potential dispute can be solved or at least progressed with a (free) 5 minute phone call.
We are able to offer our clients London marine expertise without London rates.
We recognise the importance and certainty of proportionality to the case and the amount at stake.
We can work to alternative fee structures including fixed, capped and contingency fees by way of sharing in the risk and reward of youe venture. For example, fixed fee arrangements could be more amendable for casualty/accident investigation attendance.
For other types of work or more complex cases, we are happy to agree fixed fees either in agreed stages or for the entire case. We can also agree staged payments up to certain stages (for example, up to close of pleadings, disclosure, and witness evidence). For recovery claims, we are happy to work to damages based agreements.

Upton debt consolidation loans are a financial tool that people often mistake with other types of credit card debt consolidating solutions. Upton residents should be careful before making that bold move of consolidating Massachusetts loans, understand it first. You see, it's a way of piling up all your debt into one consolidation pile (now that's according to layman's language). And you can also achieve this through consolidation by transferring all your Massachusetts credit card to that one charge card, with apparently low interest rate, or taking a Massachusetts home equity loan, reffered to as Upton consolidation loans etc.
None of the above consolidation options are safe as far as your financial health is concerned. In as much as Upton debt consolidation makes sense in some cases, it's not a holistic solution to problems related to your Upton consolidation dilemma. In fact, according to Liz Pulliam Weston, a financial advisor at MSN Money, your current financial consolidation arrangements may work just as well, compared to using Massachusetts consolidation loans for consolidating debt. Upton residents can get free consolidation help right here on our site through our credit card management services.
While nothing can replace Massachusetts bankruptcy services as a solution to eliminating a large amount of credit card, there are some consolidation alternatives. One alternative that has become popular over the recent years to consolidate debt Upton MA is debt consolidating. These free credit card debt consolidating programs are a way that an individual will offer the creditor less than what is owed. Over the last few years many people have tried using credit card management to avoid filing bankruptcy. There are some pluses to credit card debt consolidating over a bankruptcy filing, but there are all many negatives also.
Most people who use debt consolidating as a form of credit card management think by settling their debts they won't ruin their creditor score. The problem is if a Massachusetts person is already tapped out on all their available creditor options, their credit card ratios are terrible and credit card debt consolidating will reduce their creditor score by a large amount. So when trying to use credit card management as a way of protecting their rating, it's a little too late for that. Consolidate debt instead by finding the best debt consolidating services that work for you.
You may be able to lower the cost of your debts by consolidating your Massachusetts debts through a second mortgage or a home loan or an equity line. But these Massachusetts credit card management loans require you to put up your house as collateral. If you can't make the consolidation loan payments or if you are late you could lose your Massachusetts home. Also stay far away from unsecure bad credit loans offers as these types of unsecure cash advance loans services can and will put you in financial hardship.
Upton Debt Questions? We Can help, Free!
Through the use of our online credit card debt consolidating services we can help people in Upton Massachusetts with unsecured debt find a way to pay off their debts more quickly by reducing their interest rates and eliminate late fees. We are able to secure you the lowest debt consolidating payment possible without loaning you additional money or asking you to use your Upton house, car, or any other asset as collateral.
Our site offers a full variety of credit card management solutions that has helped hundreds in Massachusetts get and stay out of debt each year. We specialize in assisting Massachusetts families and Upton individuals experiencing real financial difficulties because of heavy unsecured debt loads.

A Shout Out to November Service Project Volunteers!
On Nov. 16th, Wolf River Conservancy and about 30 volunteers from International Paper and ALSAC planted over 150 trees. These trees were potted earlier this year at our Annual Tree Planting event in March. Five native tree species were selected to beautify and reforest wetland areas on Wolf River Conservancy’s Epping Way property in Raleigh. Despite the very muddy conditions from the melting snow, the volunteers skillfully and efficiently planted the trees with smiles on their faces.
The next day during the Saturday Service Project on Nov. 17th, student volunteers from Rise Academy and University of Memphis joined forces with other community volunteers to plant 50 native Chickasaw Plum trees in two rows. This planting will create a hedge of native fruiting trees coveted by wildlife. Volunteers then removed a few large specimens of non-native invasive Bradford Pear trees which have become a thorny menace, seeding into young woods, fencerows, and into fields. This fast-growing tree can dominate a site and prevent native oaks, hickories, and associated trees from reaching maturity, eventually leading to a decrease in biodiversity.
Finally, Eagle Scout Will Lamb successfully completed an Eagle Scout project for the Wolf River Conservancy at Springdale Elementary School on Nov. 8th. Will organized a group of Boy Scouts to build nine benches for use in the outdoor education area of the school. The group also constructed two trellises to support garden plants, painted three large tires used as garden beds white, and weeded and cleaned up the area. The group persisted through several challenges and did a great job! Many thanks to Will, his mom, and all of the people who helped to finish this project!

One of the key steps for any financial independence retire early (FIRE) seeker is to invest in assets so one day you can live off these assets. Stocks are typically the preferred investment vehicle because of their liquidity and good returns.
While stocks provide about a 7% annual return over the long term, they can be volatile in the short term. The volatility means stocks are riskier and some people simply can’t sleep at night if their portfolio value drops by 5% or more. In addition, the volatility is an issue if you are living off your assets and need a dependable monthly income.
This is why one of the age-old rules of asset allocation is to increase your fixed income exposure as you get older. As their name suggests, fixed income investments like bonds, GICs, and money market funds will provide you with a dependable, fixed amount of income each month.
Mrs. T and I are still relatively young (in our mid 30’s), therefore, stocks make up the majority of our investment portfolio. But this does not mean that we are not investing in fixed income investments. I do believe that fixed-income investments like bonds, for example, have a place in everyone’s investment portfolio. The percentage of fixed income investments you hold within your portfolio will depend on your age, risk tolerance, and retirement timeline.
When it comes to bonds, the typical options are government, municipal, and corporate bonds with different levels of risks and returns. Usually, government bonds will give you the lowest yield and lowest risk while corporate bonds will give you the highest yield but at a higher risk. Municipal bonds sit somewhere the middle.
For investors looking for higher yields on their fixed-income investments and further asset diversification, private bonds may be a good option.
A while ago I wrote about CoPower Green Bonds which are a private fixed-income product backed by loans to clean energy & energy efficiency projects. The money raised through Green Bonds is used to lend to infrastructure projects like rooftop solar, geothermal, and LED retrofits.
As the stock market becomes more volatile and more and more indicators are hinting at a recession, in my opinion, it makes sense to diversify your investment portfolio. An investment like CoPower Green Bonds is a way I’m considering doing that.
Also, being environmentally conscious, I love how these Green Bonds are providing a positive impact on our environment by reducing CO2 emissions. The company reports that they’ve already helped avoid more than 6,000 tonnes of CO2 and investors get quarterly reports that include their positive impact.
You can invest in Green Bonds with as little as $5,000 (up to max of $500,000). The 6-year Green Bond offers 5% annual interest and the 4-year Green Bond offers 4% annual interest. When you invest in Green Bonds, you can receive simple interest (i.e. fixed amount of payment) or compound interest (i.e. payments are reinvested to provide a higher return). I’ve written about the power of compound interest here.
While traditional, publicly traded bonds are liquid (CoPower Green Bonds are illiquid and must be held to maturity), I believe there are a few key benefits the Green Bonds have over these publicly traded bonds, especially today when markets are uncertain.
As you may know, there’s an inverse relationship between interest rates and bond prices. So when the Bank of Canada starts to raise interest rates to reduce inflation, public bond prices decrease. Because CoPower Green Bonds are private investments, they aren’t exposed to this interest rate-tied price fluctuations. The 5% return on their 6-year bond doesn’t change. For a $5,000 investment in a simple interest bond series, that means you could expect to receive $250 each year — that’s $1,500 in interest at the end of the 6 year investment period plus your $5,000 principal. Having the peace of mind of not having to worry about bond price fluctuations can be quite attractive for some investors.
In general, adding a private investment into your portfolio and one backed by infrastructure assets can help reduce volatility in your portfolio and protect your returns. The projects CoPower lends to will continue to save energy or generate solar power supporting loan repayments, whatever of what the stock market does.
Another benefit of CoPower Green Bonds, unlike most private investments, is that you can hold them inside your TFSA or RRSP. This means you can re-invest your interest & principal while being tax efficient.
For me personally, the key benefit of Green Bonds is the attractive returns. Canada 10 year bond yield rate is 1.99%, Canada 5 year bond yield rate is 1.92% as of Dec 20, 2018, Vanguard Aggregate Bond index ETF (VAB) has a 2.94% yield, and Vanguard Canadian Long-Term bond index ETF (VLB) is 3.62%. In comparison, the 6-year Green Bonds have a 5% yield and the 4-year Green Bonds have a 4% yield. So if you are looking for a higher fixed income, Green Bonds may be a suitable investment option for you.
That said, CoPower Green Bonds have more risk associated than government bonds which are considered low risk. For example, a wide-spread technical problem in one of the clean energy project portfolios could lead to a late payment or a loan default in an extreme circumstance. To reduce that risk CoPower often requires project owners to establish debt-service reserve funds and they ensure that warranties and insurance are in place when relevant. It’s nice to see that they report that to-date no loans have defaulted and all interest payments have been made on time, from borrowers to CoPower and from CoPower to investors. CoPower provides lots of information on their site and in their offering memorandum about other risks and how they work to mitigate them for investors.
If you decide to invest with CoPower, you can purchase Green Bonds through their online platform with a very straightforward process. You don’t need to open up a brokerage account and pay trading fees. Although if you want to hold them in an RRSP or TFSA you need to do that through a financial institution and they may charge fees. CoPower’s site says that Questrade is the easiest and cheapest option.
The bonds invest in a diversified portfolio of many projects, so you don’t have to pick and choose which green projects to invest in making the investing process even more complicated. CoPower has already done the work for you. Right now the Green Bond portfolio includes loans supporting more than 1,100 individual projects.
Also, since Green Bonds are private investments, they must be held until maturity. In other words, Green Bonds can’t be sold on a secondary market or redeemed before the end of the term. This is very different than the Canadian government bonds or Vanguard bond index ETFs. So before you invest in Green Bonds, make sure you are OK with the 4 or 6-year terms, as you won’t be able to get your principal back until the end of the bond maturity. You’ll also have less reporting information to base decisions on than you do with public investments.
Being environmentally conscious, both Mrs. T and I have always liked the idea of green investing. For the right investor, Green Bonds not only offer the ability to invest green, they also provide further asset diversification with good yields.
If you are looking for something other than the standard investment options, I highly recommend taking a look at Green Bonds. You can learn more about CoPower and Green Bonds here.
This post was sponsored and solicited by CoPower. All thoughts and opinions are my own and may not be representative of the views of other investors or potential investors in CoPower Green Bonds.
Interesting sponsored post Bob. I’ve never heard of green bonds before. I always though if municipalities or corporations could offer bonds for a project (green or otherwise) and investors could select the projects they wanted to invest in.
Why would an investor want to invest in Copower’s green bonds vs. just buying the green project bonds directly? Is it just the number of green deals available?
The green bonds are pretty new and I wouldn’t have known it unless I met the CoPower team at CPFC a few years ago. This is the 2nd sponsored post I’ve done in the history of the blog and both posts were both with CoPower. I get approached A LOT by brands on sponsored post (I’m sure you too), and I’ve turned them all down (I’ve been extremely selective regarding sponsored posts). The only reason I’ve written about CoPower is because I believe the product.

How we communicate on the internet?
There are two different types of emails POP3 and IMAP4.
POP3 is a protocol for emails. However you have to forcefully push the emails to download it to your device. The advantages of POP3 is that it doesn't use internet so cost are lower. However the disadvantages are that you have to wait for you to get connection to the internet to open your emails.
IMAP4 automatically pushes your emails to your phone and will get a notice as soon as you get the email. IMAP4 is good because it allows the user to access their emails at all times and is ideal for important business men so they can contact them as soon as possible. However the disadvantages of IMAP4 is that it uses up a lot of data to put the email on your phone and you need 3G to use IMAP4.
Instant messaging is real time communication over the internet between two or more people that enables a ‘virtual’ conversation. IM is in real time. There are lots of advantages like that it is quick and easy to communicate and is in real time. also people can work collaboratively by participating it group chats and is ideal for business. This can be accessed through smart phones, PDAs and other portable devices so it is easy to use. However there are disadvantages towards using instant messaging for example you need to be able to access the internet. also having a slow connections can cause problems with it being real time and cause latency. Also by using instant messaging it apparently deceases your English ability.
VOIP is similar to IM but uses sound rather than text, just like a telephone call but over the internet. There are advantages to using it as it is free if your internet access is unlimited and therefore your phone bill will be nothing as you don't have to pay for it. Also by using VOIP you are able to show emotion and your voice will have tone and people won't mistake you for other emotions. However you need internet access to be able to use. Also having a slow connections can cause problems with it being real time and cause latency and if you need to call 999 if you they wont know where you are as there is no geographical number.
Online communities where people come together and make contact with each other through chat, messaging, video, images etc. It is good to use as you can connect to many at once and it is free and can share personal information and customize your own personal space. However you need internet access and privacy issues as people can hack you and find out personal information.

Students were left amazed today after Skye Shadowlight's inspiring and insightful lecture. Skye discussed her own experiences of autism and the triumphs and tribulations her daughter has faced with the disability. Demonstrating how art can be the key to overcoming issues with disability and childhood trauma, this lecture was truly remarkable.
Skye's work reflects the struggles people can face, even in today's world, with disability and isolation. Using a number of different mediums, Shadowlight's work left a great impression on students; this transpired in the Q&A which followed the lecture, as students on university courses at Burnley College asked a range of questions and shared stories of their own experiences.
The aim of this presentation was to promote inclusion and the reduction of anxiety, particularly within young people. This gave the audience an insight into the power of art therapy and how it can help us to understand and overcome issues with disability and childhood trauma.
Skye Shadowlight has left students both inspired and motivated to hold these values and lessons in high esteem.

The property management company is responsible for keeping any building under its care in good working order while also carefully budgeting the building’s reserves. Looking ahead, and sometimes well ahead, is absolutely crucial for keeping the building’s reserves healthy while also getting necessary maintenance and even improvements to the building done.
Generally, building maintenance falls into two categories: planned maintenance and unplanned maintenance. The property manager has to plan for both.
Planned maintenance is done at regular intervals and is meant to prevent the breakdown of building components. Usually, under the advice of the property management company, the HOA board will hire a firm every few years to survey the building and determine what the likely maintenance costs will be for the next term. Healthy reserves track this forecast closely, and attempt to stay at around 70% of these projected costs.
Generally speaking, spending a little more on preventative maintenance helps to save more money in the long term. Holding off on scheduled maintenance to save money in a particular year can actually end up costing the building more in the long term.
Unplanned maintenance is usually urgent and therefore tends to be more costly. That’s why every property management company has in its interest to move as many maintenance items in the “planned” category as possible. Obviously, you can’t control every factor, and some level of unplanned maintenance will always inevitably come up. That’s what the remaining 30% of the building’s reserves are there for.
Do you have a question about the management of a building’s reserves? We’re here to help! Contact us to discuss your building’s financial situation.

Focused events of the recent days in Egypt displaced in some mode the “Syrian topic” from Western mass media opening pages. Anyway, the situation in Syria still remains rather tense. Against the background of clear-cut victory of the governmental forces over the rebels hold in June, at the moment Asad’s opposition activists are preparing active dislocation of forces and means aimed at evident arrangement of Syrian fastness attack the current fall.
According to The Wall Street Journal as of June, 26 the CIA has already actively embarked on a secret plan approved by Obama to deliver withdrawn weapons from American warehouses for the opposition to Jordan, to teach the rebels holding the guerilla fight, as well as to mobilize the European and the Arabic allies for more active political and military technical support of the Syrian mutineers. At the same time CIA intends to creat a sufficient contigent of well trained and armed warriors ready to stand against the Syrian army and to “Hizballah”, to contribute to month regular replenishment of struggling opposition in Syria on hundreds warriors.
The above mentioned arrangements concerning a “new attack” were actively joined by the proxy rules of the Persian Gulf always faithful to Washington. In such a manner the Saudi Arabia’s leaders cut short their vacation in Morocco as a matter of urgency for the preparation of the second front line opening in the south of Syria. According to some data taken from Internet the orders to move special military contigent through the territory of Jordan to the southern borders of Syria have been already delivered. Meanwhile Riyadh has initiated delivery of anti-aircraft and armour-defeating weapons for the opposition to military facilities in Turkey. The Saudi king appointed prince Bandar to coordinate this work and “to convince” Erdogan in necessity of the Turkish troops employment in rehandling of the mentioned cargo to special consignees in Syria.
There is prominent castling also among the so called “Arabian friends of Syria”. Having failed with Washington’s task to make a Syrian blitzkrieg and thus having nothing to do do but change the monarchy’s leader in such a situation, Katar is step by step passing to the middle distance, actually remaining just a moneybag defraying new US shady undertakings in respect for Syria. “Leader’s” functions are now transferred from Katar to Saudi Arabia, which strains every sinew to appease “the big brother” unwilling to repeat the Katar scenario of the monarch change.
CIA is an active participant in Syrian opposition leadership shuffle aimed at finding leaders able to track for armed struggle with Asad’s army, to pull the rebels together both spiritually and politically. Just so slightly over three months in a duty of the so called leader of “Syrian Opposition Transitory Government” previously promoted to this post by the CIA 50 y.o. Kurd Ghassan Hitto resigned commission “at his own discretion” because of his relationships with the Syrian “Muslim Brotherhood” and obvious merits to the USA, where he lived for 25 years and worked in the position of hi tech manager in Texas.
Ahmad Assi Jarbu, possessing close ties exactly with the Saudi Arabia, became a new leader of the National Coalition for Syrian Revolutionary and Opposition Forces (NCSROP). It’s worth to mention at this point that it is NCSROP that holds active armed struggle against the governmental troops of president B.Asad, which according to the UN data has already taken away lives of 90 thousands people.
During the last session of the UN Human Right Council the Independent Fact-Finding Board in Syria confirmed that the Syrian opposition recruits actively children and exploits them in battle actions.
How may the recent order of the US President B.Obama about military equipment and weapons delivery to the leaders of NCSROP be justified, as far as it was considered the sole military legitime representative of the Syrians? Or, perhaps Obama has a right to ignore the national legislation being looked-out by American electors? And maybe ordinary US citizens-electors aren’t just aware of this fact?

No punctuation in contractions? Well never accept it, will we?
Oh, what a fount of inspiration is that little bird. Watching the Scotland vs. Ireland Six Nations Match on Saturday (10 March) and tweeting at the same time added to the thrills and spills, even if it meant missing a few crucial moments. (Even J.K. Rowling was tweeting. Gosh! Scotland lost abysmally, btw.) And it can throw up the odd language curiosity. One such was ‘Scotland are their own worse enemy’.
Yay! Another eggcorn spotted in the wild. This one is not in the ‘famed’ (how I loathe, detest and revile that word, which I only put in so that I could say quite how much…) eggcorn database, so there was no illumination to be found there as I wondered how frequent it might be.
It also piqued my curiosity in other ways.
Is the eggcorn on the increase?
How old is the eggcorn?
How did the eggcorn come about?
Where does the original phrase come from?
My example has plural concord (Scotland are their own worse enemy) but enemy is singular. So, how often do people say ‘enemies’ in such cases?
How frequent is the eggcorn?
That, I thought, is going to depend on where you look, surely?
As it turns out, it does, but the differences are not huge. Three different corpora I consulted give figures ranging from just under 2 per cent to 3.63 per cent of all occurrences of both forms.
A Google for “own worse enemy” in quotation marks scores 32,700 against “own worst enemy” at 2,590,000, but I suspect that doesn’t prove anything very much.
I couldn’t tell you. When I entered the search string ‘own worse enemy_INF’ in Google Ngrams, it plotted a seemingly vertiginous rise from the 1980s onwards. But the numbers are so small they don’t tell you very much. If you enter both strings], i.e. …worse… and …worst…, you can see a much gentler rise for …worst…, going back to the nineteenth century.
Coming across any eggcorn, one might be tempted to tut-tut, shake one’s head, and condemn modern illiteracy. If you are so tempted, refrain. Like many other eggcorns and ‘mistakes’, …own worse enemy has a venerable history—at least as far as Ngrams goes—1881 being its premiere there.
‘It is not too much to say that the man who has any interest in fruit production or selling in this State, and yet places obstructions in the way of the execution of laws intended to foster that industry, is his own worse enemy, and a blind leader of the blind.’ This seems to have to do with a crisis in the horticultural industry of aphis on pear and apple trees, i.e. probably greenfly and blackfly.
How did/does it come about?
And I’m own worst enemy because I put off blogging, and then weeks go by I don’t post anything.
I don’t support England, btw, in rugger. Wales, generally, and then Scotland. As Wales are doing badly, I turncoated, and obviously the Sco-Eng match was a joy, but for sporting, not racial, reasons. The Scots played superbly. As for the spelling, the Dictionar o the Scots Leid saith MOLOCATE, v. also molecate, mollicate, mollocate, malacate, so you spelling is one of the alternatives. It’s a shame they don’t show the etymology. I won’t say ‘Age is just a number’.
I agree, ‘age IS just a number’. Fortunately, despite stray white wisps poking through my hot pink hair, I look 10 years younger than my chronological age. As someone reminded me kindly before the latest birthday: “the alternative to getting older is death”.
Enjoy your birthday, & may you have many more fun ones.
See what you’ve started with your Scotch funicular, Tricia – see below on ‘stoater’ etc.
Stoater! I haven’t heard that word in years! There are parts of Antrim where people use it. Unfortunately, age is just a number – about an additonal inch around the waist for every year since I hit forty, in my case … 😦 Enjoy the match – I am certainly looking forward to it!
Stoater! What’s the meaning of such a wonderful word? Is it Scots or Irish or both? I had a Scottish granny, much loved, who gave me “wersh” for needing salt, especially porridge, but any food, really. The other word I use frequently is “skunner” for active dislike. I frequently “take a skunner” to someone, generally a politician. My children know what I mean by these expressions, but good Aussies that they are, don’t use them.
Please see my comments below on ‘stoater’, etc.
John (Debunker) and Sue & Tricia – well, the ball has really started rolling with stoater. Suffice (it) to say, that the Ire v. Eng match was an absolute stoater of a match, i.e. totally brilliant. Yes, it’s very Scots, and, I have to take John’s word, also (part)-Irish.
Related, I presume, are a) verb – to stoat, meaning ‘to bounce’, e.g. the rain was stoating off the roof, and b) (presumably related) stoatin, meaning very drunk, so presumably bouncing around. I can’t find any of those words in the Scots Dictionary, or the OED, though they are here http://www.scotranslate.com/translate/scottish/stoat/1/239#.Wq7YvajFLIU.
It’s here in the DSL: http://dsl.ac.uk/entry/snd/scunner and, on that evidence, goes back at least to 18thC.
Thanks so much, Jeremy & John. What a delight following the links and reading all the citations. My granny had several of O. Douglas’ novels, which I read as a child. Granny lived next door to us, so we went to her after school, & once we’d done our homework we could read any book we liked. Such warm memories; not wersh at all.

Good mental health is highly essential to improve your productivity and to lead a successful life. According to the National Survey of Mental Health and Wellbeing of Adults, 1 out of 5 adults are reported to have had a mental disorder. Mental disorders are caused by a combination of the health, economic, social, psychological and environmental factors. And the people suffering from mental illness have increased risk of mortality and morbidity.
There are various scientific researches that prove the positive effects of physical fitness on a person’s mental and emotional well-being. In many cases, a specialised exercise program devised by a professional in Physiotherapy at Perth can effectively combat a lot of emotional challenges.
It is the main contributor of many kinds of illnesses all around the world. One of the most common forms of stress occurs in the workplace, which can result in psychological problems. In Perth physiotherapy clinics offer exercises that can trigger the release of endorphins. This hormone increases your happiness and comfort level. It can strengthen your immune system and synchronise your appetite, thereby enhancing your physical health. Hence, it can inhibit stress indirectly.
Depression can affects an individual’s sleeping and eating habits and therefore he/she cannot function well in their day-to-day life. In Perth Physiotherapy combined with other treatments can assist the cognitive process of the person and reduce the issues that lead to depression.
Depression is also caused due to pain. Physiotherapy can help you overcome pain by stretching and exercising. Physical treatments can also increase your strength and vitality.
People who are physically active are found to have lesser levels of anxiety and other related metal challenges. Physiotherapists provide exercises that are suitable for people suffering from anxiety and teach them to relax and attain peace of mind.

I finally got around to trying out the lemon try to erase hard water stains from the fixtures in my bath tub.
I found this idea from the36thavenue.com. They have a whole list of great cleaning tips and I’ll be trying a few more in the coming weeks.
All I did was cut a lemon in half and rubbed it on the fixtures. It took about 2 minutes.
I definitely saw a difference in the handle.
But I don’t think it worked so well on the faucet.
Next I’m going to try the baby oil as Chrome Polish.

Excuse me whilst I try not to squeal and burst over the excitement of reliving this road trip I went on that I thought I would never get to do- not even in my wildest dreams!
At first we didn’t know we were on the famous route 66; it was just an extension of the grey road we’d been following through the wilderness for the best part of the day. Then, all of a sudden, we pulled up outside the Hackberry General Store, which was complete with a group of big butch guys on motorcycles outside who had stopped to get gas- it was all very Sons of Anarchy.
We hopped out to admire, take photos, and obviously chat to bikers who seemed very interested in our English accents.
The store itself was no more than a rusty metal shack, which was obviously part of its appeal. Most of the reminders of days gone by outside were rusting- old time cars, gas pumps, old vending machines, and Coca-Cola adverts. However, there was a red convertible old-style car, parked out on the porch, which looked in much better condition than everything else. Another thing I noticed is that no matter where you looked there was no forgetting where you were. Badge after badge, sign after sign had ‘route 66’ written on it somewhere.
It’s either a very well preserved general store or a very good mock up- I still can’t tell which! I think it’s a bit of both.
Before stepping inside you’d be forgiven for thinking it was just a museum now, but it’s still a shop-mainly a gift shop but a shop none-the-less, complete with lone shop assistant! The front sells postcards and keyrings- the usual gift shop tat- the middle has a mock-up of an old American diner, and the back is an apparel section. There were also toilets in there full of life-size Marilyn Monroe mannequins. I’m not gonna lie, trying to wee with Marilyn Monroe watching you is hella creepy!
After the Hackberry store we ended up at a route 66 road-marking (one of the last remaining ones I believe, although I have no clue which town it was in!). I know this will sound awfully cheesy but the way I felt standing next to the road-marking was unbelievable. I don’t know about you guys, but I associate route 66 with the old America and getting the chance to experience even a tiny bit of that was absolutely amazing. We became typical tourists and took a few (hundred) photos before hitting the road again.
Next we ended up in the little town on Seligman, Arizona. I’m absolutely terrible with all things geography so I have no idea how long it took us, or how far it was from our last stop. I don’t think it took us long… Anyway! According to my good friend Wikipedia, Seligman was on the original Route 66 until 1978, and is now a popular tourist destination, which might have something to do with it being the first stop on the longest uninterrupted stretch of route 66 heading west.
This place was everything you’d expect from Route 66, and it was amazing. There’s no way you could simply drive through this town without getting out of your car to explore further. In these surroundings it’s easy to imagine and old time America and the fun that was had on Route 66 in its glory days. This was highlighted by the humour that the area has not lost- dead chicken from the roadkill café anyone? How about some good old-fashioned teasing from the Snow Cap drive in?
We walked around admiring more rusty cars, life-sized mannequins, billboards, and a wooden outdoor toilet which looked like it would collapse at any moment (yes, I used it but very quickly and I’m sure people could easily see through the huge gap where the door didn’t meet the frame when it closed!). It felt like walking around a movie set.
There were more gift shops in this place, so we wandered around those for a while. I bought some stuff that I would never ordinarily buy because I thought I might regret not buying it once I got home. Note to self: you will never regret not buying a gift shop pen! After that we went to the world famous Snow Cap drive in for lunch and were teased by extremely sarcastic servers. We loved it! And, yes, I did fall prey to the door which said push on the side attached to the wall. Oops, I should have known! Whilst the wonderful staff and the fame of the place is the big attraction, the food deserves some recognition too; I had an amazing veggie burger and a chocolate malt shake that I’m still salivating about now!
All-in-all, although we didn’t do much of the road and only did it in a day, it was still the absolute road trip of a lifetime and a day that I’ll never forget.
If you’re ever wanting to do an all American road trip and are wondering if Route 66 is worth it: it is absolutely worth it!

Do you have a Long Island property you want to sell? If so, you will likely want to save money wherever you can! In our latest post, we will help you learn how to save money when selling your home in Long Island!
Selling a Long Island house the typical way can get expensive! Before you know it, you will have a stack of bills before the property is even listed. Make sure you consider all selling method before signing a listing agreement with a local Long Island real estate agent. In some cases, it may not be the best decision from a financial standpoint. Consider all of the costs of a Long Island listing before signing any agreements. Make sure yo are making the smartest decision for your Long Island house!
An agents commission can be upwards of 6% of the final sale price. If your house sells for $500,000 at 6%, your agent will be entitled to $30,000. That is a huge chunk of cash if you are looking for ways to sell your house that don’t cost an arm and a leg. In addition, some agents will have other costs they tack on such as marketing, photography, administrative and printing costs. If you do hire an agent, make sure you know exactly what is included in their service and what you will be paying extra for.
Also, make sure that the commission rate is clearly listed on the contract before you sign. Commission rates are always negotiable and in Long Island rates are typically in the 4% to 5% range. The length of the contract is also something that is negotiable. Many agents will tell you a standard listing is 6 months. That does not mean that they can’t list it for 2, 3 or even 4 months. If you agree to list a house for a longer periods, and you don’t like the job an agent is doing, you will be stuck with them longer than you might want to be. Contracts can always be renewed after the initial term. I like three month terms to keep an agent on their toes!
By selling your house as-is to a local investor, you will save not only on commissions but on repair costs too. Not all property buyers are the same. Make sure you are working with a reputable company such as Comax Properties to ensure a quick and easy transaction. When you work with us, there are no repairs, cleaning, staging, or storage costs. Plus, by selling as-is, you won’t have to worry about negotiations after the home inspection process or mortgages that fall through!
Ask any investor, and they will tell you that the longer you own a house, the more it will cost you. Every day you are listed as the owner, you are paying utilities, Long Island property taxes, insurance and maintenance costs. By selling your house quickly to a Cash Hone Buyer like Comax Properties, you will be able to immediately start saving by eliminating these costs now instead of 6 -8 months down the road.
When you think of all the costs involved in listing your Long Island house, you will want to make sure that the money you are spending, will provide the biggest bang for your buck.
A great listing requires great photos. This will likely mean that you hire a professional to take photos and possibly someone else to stage the property beforehand. The easiest way to have your house overlooked, is to have sloppy, amateur photos of your house. People will see this, and keep on scrolling. Take the time to stage and craft professional photos of your house to get the most interest and the fastest sale. Dark photos are the worst. Please clean up any obvious clutter before the pics and pleasssssse close that toilet seat in the bathroom before taking a pis of the house!
Many houses sit on MLSLI because they aren’t priced correctly. Don’t let an agent coerce you into listing at a higher price in hopes of snaring a gullible buyer. Instead, look at what other houses are selling for and price it accordingly. If you find yourself having to repeatedly lower the price, potential buyers will take notice of this as it is public information. You can give the vibe that there is something wrong with the house or that you desperate to sell. For the most successful listing, price the house correctly from the get-go.
Be wary of the Real Estate Agent that says they can get you a much higher number than other agents are saying! Make the agents pull comparable homes, within a half mile of your house,that SOLD in the last 6 months. You should always make sure that the comparable homes are in the same Long Island School District!!!

In my more than ten years in the service business and information technology, I have come to accept 20 facts in my customer service world.
You may think otherwise about these facts, but I always get in trouble when I take for granted any one of them.
I also noticed that the more conscious I am about these facts, the better I manage my team, the more refined are the customer service trainings I designed, and the more proactive my approaches to customer service becomes.
One of the best bonuses I get is that I seldom get unresolved issues haunting me in the future.
1. If you keep tabs of your resolution rates related to complaining Customers, you will find out that less than 10% of dissatisfied Customers will actually file a complaint or let you know about it.
This is one reason why I always make it a commandment in my sales or customer support teams to call the Customer 3 or 5 days after delivery or completion of service.
You should not wait for them to tell someone else about the problem before you have a chance to know about it.
Most problems really are just a result of a Customer not being educated enough to harness the benefits from your product or service.
Besides, if your service or product provides him or his company an edge, why would he tell his next door neighbor why he has the edge.
He knows his competitor is going to get hold of it somehow, he just doesn't want it happening anytime soon.
2. 300% more people will know about your bad service from dissatisfied Customers than your good service from satisfied customers.
Sales people have always observed this pattern about Customers.
If you are not that keen yet about this trend better watch out because you might end up hearing it from your competition, after he gets your Customer.
Worst! He gets your biggest Customer.
This is one fact that is not funny when it's eating up your market.
You will lose Customers and it's usually too late to know why.
If your Customer is a member of an association or a club, you can bet that half of the membership already know about the bad news.
You can also bet that nobody will hear a whisper about how you have dealt with the problem later on.
But that's a different story altogether.
3. Although Customers seldom make their complaint known, dissatisfied Customers will most likely find and meet Customers with the same experience.
They will talk more about the problem and will tend to attract more people who will listen.
This explains the previous fact.
Haven't you notice that you tend to have more listener with bad news than good ones.
The uglier it is, the more glued the audience will be.
You always find more headlines with ugly...No horrible news than happy ones when you watch TV.
You notice one other thing. You never turn the TV off!
4. If you can resolve an issue or fix a problem of a complaining Customer, 80% of this kind of Customers will come back and will most likely make a purchase again.
You will increase this percentage to 90% if you act immediately upon notice of the complaint.
Logic would have told us that if you mess up, you should get fired as a service provider or supplier.
You don't get fired. You get 8 out 10 of them coming back!
In a crisis or if some problem comes up, this is the only opportunity you have of showing a Customer that there is an organization, process and people behind your service or product.
This is assuming you indeed have an organization, process or people behind your service or product.
By solving the problem the Customer sees you at work.
They see procedures being followed.
They get interviewed about a problem.
And, they see real people not machines doing something for them.
They see. They don't hear about it or get told about it.
They clearly see an action in progress.
This action in progress allows your Customer to size you up.
Know what you can do. See your capabilities.
This is why I firmly believe that an opportunity to serve under these conditions should not be passed up.
5. No technology can be a substitute for human interaction.
Even if the technology is the only contact with Customers, certain needs will eventually require some form of human contact.
The human physiology will always seek out some form of affective human interaction.
Have you heard about the "crib syndrome" that afflicts only infants?
It's been suspected that this syndrome normally happens if the baby does not experience a nurturing environment or more specifically human touch.
As early as infancy, the human physiology already exhibits the craving for human touch.
6. Treating Customers badly for any reason will eventually carry costs and consequences.
I don't believe in karma or all that esoteric beliefs.
I do believe in action and consequent reaction.
As early as high school, you've been introduced to this concept in Physics.
Human beings have a funny way of getting back at you.
Animals are more predictable because we already know how predictable or unpredictable they are.
Human beings are complex. Even if you understand their habits they don't behave exactly as expected in the same situation all the time.
When you hurt a Customer by not serving him or her well, you will be remembered.
It has nothing to do with selling principles or organization. It has to do with human nature. Pain has a way of making our memory sharper and our recall more instinctive.
The reckoning will come. It may not be now.
More than 10 years of dealing with Customer made me a believer in this phenomenon of eventual reckoning.
7. Your reputation and credibility are directly proportional to the quality of your service and eventually to the quality of your Customer relations.
If you have good customer service, you tend to have more people talking and hearing about it. Quite naturally, you tend to have more customers. It is just consequential that you will have some kind of reputation. Hopefully you have a great reputation rather than a bad one.
Find or better yet develop the right process and team to ensure that you nurture good relationship with your customers. The stronger your relationship with customers, the more solid and enduring will be your reputation and credibility.
Your reputation is built on the relationship you keep. Who is more inclined to believe you than people or organizations who know you--Your Customers.
8. The environment in which you will establish good impressions with Customer on first contact will always be stack against you.
Remember that the Customer is the person who sets the time, the date, the place and the agenda of the visit (if you let him).
If the Customer tells you to see him in his office or place of work, he again controls the atmosphere and physical environment.
It is rarely that the Customer will see you all excited about what you are about to say, unless of course he initiates the call or ask for the appointment.
The necessity of creating first impression is lesser if the Customer initiates the call or meeting.
The Customer has more or less a clear grasp of what he wants from the meeting. He expects you to validate his wants or needs.
Normally, if the customer initiates the call he would already have certain level or scale of expectations. It's like already having 100 bonus points in his pocket for you. What you do or don't do during the meeting will just give him an incentive to keep the 100 bonus points for you or take out 5 points here, 10 points there until you got just about 50 bonus points to nothing.
If you're initiating the call, what you are really doing is grunt work. I don't care if you have undergone gazillions of sales training. If you are initiating the visit or call, everything is stack up against you.
9. Sophisticated Customer service or retention programs fail simply because it lacks appreciation of the universal principle of good business and good manners.
Most support services for computer systems are failing in their service ratings not because their core services are bad it's because they lack the common sense to do the simple things.
Service call request coming in by phone are not handled well.
Customers complain that they keep repeating themselves to people at the other end of the line.
Service personnel can not remember details of their complaints.
Customers' repaired units are delivered with films of dust on its surface. Smudges of greasy fingerprints on clean surfaces.
Service personnel forgot to take their trash with them or fail to return the Customer's equipment in its proper place.
Common sense dictates that you treat Customers the way you expect others to treat your daughter, son, wife or mother. Of course you will find this far from any form of common sense if you are a wife beater or child molester.
It's the reason why I always choose happy people with lots of high self-esteem after I pick them out for their common sense.
Happy people tend to have better disposition and are easier to train. They tend to handle stress better specially those created by customer interaction.
10. In an existing Customer service program, you will lose your best employee specially those with sound judgment first, (followed by the team if he is a team leader) if you don't nurture the right working environment.
Good workers specially those with sound judgment and really competent ones know what is a healthy working environment for them and their team. These are the people who are not afraid to leave when they think things are not right for them, for their colleagues and their customers.
These are the kind of people who can easily build strong relationship with customers.
There's also one good thing about these types of employees. Team members tend to be loyal to them if they become team leaders or are team leaders. They will do almost anything for them. This is usually the reason why you tend to lose your best team members right after the team leader leaves.
Create the best working environment for them specially after the launch of a successful campaign (any campaign!).
Rewards must be tailored to what motivates your team.
Remember this: Money maybe the best reason for taking on a job but it is seldom the first or significant reason for leaving one.
Team leaders (the Good Ones!) who conduct their own exit interviews of team members who leave will seldom hear money as the reason for leaving a job. If your team member refuses an exit interiview with you, you are probably the reason for leaving the company or the team.
11. The people who should be convince about your value proposition and your Customer service program should be the very people who will deliver the proposition and manage the program in the first place.
If the frontline staff themselves do not believe or have little faith in the company's customer service program, you cannot expect them to deliver the quality of service expected by customers.
On a staff-to-customer level, the customer service staff will have little empathy and will generally have little motivation to go the "extra" mile to help customers.
Frontline staff who do not believe in the very service they deliver will have no motivation to give the company feedback and in most instances will generally "conceal" the actual conditions prevailing in the field.
You must have a credible customer service program. The kind that make sense to your own people.
12. The sincerity of any Customer service program is directly proportional to the cohesiveness and effectiveness of the support teams involved in its management.
A company who is confident in the capability of its service team don't worry so much about their service contracts. Service teams that deliver according to customer standards seldom get the opportunity to handle customer complaints because problems never get out of hand too often to become a customer's problem.
You must invest time, training, tools and other resources to make your team cohesive and effective.
If you have an honest-to-goodness customer service program you will spend more time making your customer support teams more effective rather than tinkering around with the quot;waiver" or "non-liability" clause of your service contracts.
I have seen so many service contracts in my career from really good to really "plain paper useless". There are contracts that have so many waivers and clauses to pre-empt damage suits that it practically ties the hands of service personnel even if they sincerely want to help customers.
And let me add that the sincerity of any Customer Service program is also directly proportional to the distance of the CEOs office to the company's legal counsel. You really and truly are sincere if you see your lawyer less and less about customer issues.
Companies with dismal customer service performance have lawyers busy either suing customers for unpaid bills or are defending themselves against consumer rights litigation or non-performance liabilities.
13. A problem or Customer complaint is an opportunity to do better and to reinforce your Customer service policy and program.
Nothing can subject a customer service program to the most rigid acid test but a live customer making a legitimate complaint.
A good service program kicks in almost automatically upon the first contact with a complaining customer. Information about the complaint is immediately gathered while the customer's profile and details of the related purchase is reviewed. An account manager is immediately informed and made accessible to the customer.
The whole chain of events from the first receipt of the customer contact will show the customer real people acting on the complaint. The customer will be able to discern from the flurry of activities that a system is in place to assist him. Support people return calls to customer and provide feedback of the steps taken to resolve the issue.
14. A review of actions to respond to complaining or dissatisfied Customer will provide an opportunity to look into your company's internal process related to Customer Service or service delivery.
This is suppose to be a very obvious conclusion but surprisingly most of the process to support customer complaints were not really designed to resolve issues. More often the process is really a complex procedure to either evade responding or discourage customer from lodging their complaints or raise issues.
A bad process even if reviewed a hundred times is still a bad process. No amount of review will change the outcome of a bad process. Ever heard of "garbage in, garbage out"?
Good service providers know that the key to delivering good service every time is the quality of the core service, the process, the tools and the team.
When a unique incident, issue or problem comes up to test your process, a review must immediately be conducted to find out how the process responded. Did each of the component seamlessly worked from one sub-process to another? Is there a bottleneck or glitch somewhere? What conditions led to the glitch?
This is suppose to be really common sense unfortunately this "review" is not really that common.
Now we hear about quality control circles, process improvement, ISO that basically starts their methods with a review of process. Today they call it fancy names like quality assessment, quality audit, system assessment, system audit, process assessment, and all that high-sounding terms which are really designed more to make consultant's work appear complex and their costly bills easier to swallow.
15. The finer is your definition of market niche the more focus your Customer service will be.
This may not come from common sense, but marketers should already realize that the more clearly you understand your customer, the more specialized you tend to design your services around their needs. This will eventually lead to a more defined sets of distinct services for just a specific need.
A good example of this is the way Internet service providers have evolved. Before, there was really no distinction between a person using Internet services in the office and those using Internet at home. Now, you have corporate accounts, home market, and even mobile users.
Service providers, at least the most dynamic ones, are learning that they can no longer offer a smorgasboard of services and attach a single price tag for all types of customers. Customers now truly perceive a value relevant to his unique situation and buys in only from providers who can understand this perceived value.
Service providers, fortunately for customers, are no longer having a "me-too" pricing strategy. They know that those who gets the price pegged right the first time dominates a niche almost rapidly specially in a service that is technology-driven.
Marketers are now fine tuning their ability to define their niche not from a concept of who is a customer but from data taken from a customer base that they now own. This enables marketers to develop products and services that are more focus.
16. The more complex your offering the broader will be the scope of your Customer service programs.
Some customer service programs are actually born out of a service concept catering to a broader customer profile. In essence, the definition of the service is a consequence of an assumption that the customer has multi-level and multi-faceted needs. The result is a process that accommodates so many contingencies.
The customer service program is not really one homogenuous program but a complex combination of sub-programs intended to respond to different customer needs.
This condition is not inherently bad. The real issue is capital expenditure and logistical requirement. The organization that has an abundance of knowledge resource and other resources will not find customer service a real challenge even if it has a complex offering.
The challenge is how to cover a broad spectrum of customer needs without wearing yourself too thin.
17. Between a prospect and a Customer, a Customer can do more damage to you by simply not doing anything.
In terms of value, a prospect has zero Customer Value. He is not a Customer, he is still a prospect. You have already invested in a Customer, that investment will go to waste if the Customer stops interacting.
I had a Customer covered by a maintenance contract for their mainframe computer. When he came across a problem related to our service, he simply allowed the contract to lapse.
This provided an opening for a competing service provider to offer an alternative.
He got our proposal for a renewal and just sat on it for more than 30 days.
See, the Customer simply did nothing and I still lost the account.
18. The foundation and institutionalization of a good Customer service program is hinge on the creation of a seamless process and the systematic documentation of each key components to ensure consistent delivery and maintenance of quality standards.
Customers can't understand the terms and conditions of delivery.
Your own people can't seem to understand the terms and conditions of delivery.
Service personnel don't seem to follow the same method of initiating service delivery and can't seem to improve their resolution rate or response time.
You keep losing people at a time when they are suppose to be competent enough and can't seem to get the same level and quality of productivity from their replacement.
You are responding to the same form or nature of the complaint at ever increasing frequency and still have your service people getting the response wrong every time.
You can't seem to get your competence training up and running at a level that does not demand too much time from your most senior and experienced team leaders and members.
You don't have the right people for the job.
You're delivering the wrong service to your customer because what you are delivering is not what your customer expects.
Most of these common and irritating issues I have solved by adapting only two (2) key strategies: creation of a seamless process and systematic documentation.
The identification and creation of tools plus the design and development of truly effective skills training will evolve from these two (2) strategies.
The leader who will be responsible for the process; and The key person or persons responsible for the results.
The definition, selection and installation of the right leader for a good team will ensure the integrity of the customer service process. A competent and effective team will ensure that service standards are achieved.
Each member of a team in a process is responsible only for the result of component of the process assigned to him. The team leader must be responsible for the process end-to-end because he is the one with a broader or over-all perspective of the customer service process.
The leader responsible for the integrity of the process; and, the team responsible for the quality of the results.
The weakest link in any system or process is the human component. This part of the system or process is the less predictable aspect of managing a system or process. People as part of system is simply the most volatile and also the most dynamic.
The contingencies designed for any system will almost always address the doing or undoing of human nature or its consequence. The only time human nature is less a consideration in contingencies is when the effects of the environment or extreme outcome of natural calamities are factored in.
In the customer service perspective, we focus our attention only on the leader and the team.
It is important that you build a good team and manage it well.
Stick to basics. Choose your team leader well and help him build his team.
Customer service is going to be the biggest thing happening to the business world and is defined entirely by customers. Customer service is a series of activities designed to enhance the level of customer satisfaction – that is, the feeling that a product or service has met the customer expectation. Anyways,thanks for the good info!

LIBERTY CORNER, N.J. and ST. ANDREWS, SCOTLAND (Aug. 27, 2018) – Braden Thornberry, 21, of Olive Branch, Miss., has won the Mark H. McCormack Medal as the leading men’s player in the 2018 World Amateur Golf Ranking™ (WAGR). As the McCormack Medal recipient, Thornberry will earn exemptions into the 2019 U.S. Open Championship and 2019 Open Championship, conducted by The R&A, provided he remains an amateur.
Thornberry was chosen second-team All-American as a junior at the University of Mississippi in 2017-18 and became the third player in Ole Miss history to be selected to an All-America team multiple times. He also earned All-Southeast Region and All-Southeastern Conference (SEC) recognition for the second consecutive year. Thornberry, who was the world No. 1 player for 11 weeks, posted nine top-10 finishes, including four wins, and was 15th in the NCAA in stroke average (70.28). He is the program’s career leader with 11 tournament victories.
Thornberry, who recently advanced to match play in the U.S. Amateur at Pebble Beach (Calif.) Golf Links, qualified for this year’s U.S. Open at Shinnecock Hills Golf Club. Thornberry, who became the first Ole Miss player to be named a Ben Hogan Award finalist, made the 36-hole cut in two PGA Tour events – tied for 26th in the FedEx St. Jude Classic and tied for 61st in the RSM Classic – and tied for 22nd in the Web.com Tour’s North Mississippi Classic.
In 2017, Thornberry won the NCAA Division I individual title by four strokes with a 72-hole score of 11-under 277 and received the Fred Haskins Award as the top collegiate golfer. He registered two singles victories in helping the USA win the Walker Cup Match at Los Angeles (Calif.) Country Club last September. Additionally, he was a key figure in Team USA capturing the 2018 Palmer Cup in France.
The USGA and The R&A co-award the McCormack Medal annually. It is named after Mark H. McCormack, who founded sports marketing company IMG and was a great supporter of amateur golf.
The World Amateur Golf Ranking, which is supported by Rolex, was established in 2007 when the men’s ranking was launched. The men’s ranking encompasses more than 2,700 counting events, ranking 6,200 players from 106 countries. The women’s ranking was launched in 2011 and has a calendar of more than 1,850 counting events with more than 2,850 ranked players from 78 countries.
The World Amateur Golf Ranking™, which comprises a women’s ranking and a men’s ranking for elite amateur players, is offered by The R&A and the USGA as a global service to golf. Through incorporation and assessment worldwide of both amateur and professional events, WAGR encourages the international development of the competitive game. The ranking endeavors to be the most comprehensive and accurate ranking in golf by effectively comparing players from around the world who may never directly compete against one another. It is available to national federations and organizers of amateur and professional events and tours as a criterion for tournament field selection and for purposes of exemptions, national team selection, and orders of merit.
The award is named after Mark H. McCormack, the late founder of sports marketing company IMG and an avid supporter of amateur golf. The Mark H. McCormack Medal is awarded to the player ranked No. 1 in the World Amateur Golf Ranking™ after the U.S. Amateur Championship or the European Amateur Championship, whichever concludes last. Established in 2007, the same award goes to the player leading the women’s ranking after the European Ladies’ Amateur Championship or U.S. Women’s Amateur Championship, whichever concludes last.

We are a world leader in manufacturing and distribution of high quality biological buffers with the expertise and capacity to meet our customer’s needs ranging from a few grams to metric tons. Use our interactive biological buffers selection guide below to help find the right buffer by pH, grade, packaging type, or application.
Refer to the Buffer Reference Center to prepare specific buffer solutions by pH and pKa.
Tris Shortage? We have you covered.
By definition, biological buffers are organic substances that maintain a constant pH over a given range by neutralizing the effects of hydrogen ions. In the body, buffers provide a pH environment conducive to critical biochemical processes.
Buffers are ubiquitous in modern biology labs, especially in applications involving protein electrophoresis to view the results of a technique such as the polymerase chain reaction or Western blotting. They are a vital component for modeling biological systems and have many uses in cell culture, molecular biology, nucleic acid and protein purification, and transformation and transfection.
What is an example of a buffer solution?
Two common chemistry buffer examples are tris(hydroxymethyl)aminomethane (tris) and 4-(2-hydroxyethyl)-1-piperazineethanesulfonic acid (HEPES), and many others are listed below.
What is a buffering range?
A buffering range or buffer range indicates the pH level that a buffer maintains over the course of an experiment.
What are the different types of buffers?
Buffers are typically classified into seven main groups based on the R-group in their chemical makeup and the pH range of their effectiveness. They can be further delineated by grade. At the acidic end of the pH scale, at a range from 5.5 to 8.3 are the morpholinic buffers such as MES, MOPS, and MOBS. Tris is a mid-range buffer stable at pH of 7 to 9.6. Cyclohexylamino buffers such as CHES and CAPS are effective at higher pH values from 8.6 to 11.4.

My photo is up at still life 365 today. Click here to view more about this photo.
My friend Kristin sent me the book Heaven is for Real to read after I told her that I had been wanting to read it. I had seen a video about the book and it just intrigued me. I know a lot of people have a fascination with Heaven. Does it exist? What will it be like? I have read 90 Minutes In Heaven and really liked that book so I figured I would like this one too. I was wrong. I loved this one. There's just something about it being from a child's point of view that makes it that much more real.
It's hard for me to put into words overall how I feel about this book because it moved me so much. One of the parts of the book that stood out to me the most was when Colton said, "Yeah, she said she just can't wait for you and Daddy to get to heaven." (Referring to the sister his mom lost through miscarriage.) I have always hoped that my children know about me in Heaven and this has shown me that they do. They know about me and they love me and they can't wait until we are together again. Talk about pulling at my heartstrings!
Ever since Carleigh has been gone I have longed for Heaven in a way I never have before. I have never wondered as much about it as now. This book has given me a small glimpse into Heaven and for that I am thankful. This has definitely secured my belief that Heaven IS for real and that I can't wait to get there.
I am joining Mattie in remembering her son, Jakin, as his due date would have been April 21st. Jakin means "God will establish laughter" so we are sharing things that make us laugh.
This video was taken over 2 years ago. It was just days after we got Carleigh's fatal diagnosis. We were on our trip to Hawaii and it was Kyndra's first time in the ocean. She was 11 months old and I was 23 weeks along with Carleigh. Watching this video always makes me laugh.
Thanks to everyone who took part in the auction for Sufficient Grace Ministries. The auction was a success and through it we raised $2,053.25! We surpassed my original goal of $1,000 and my second goal of $2,000. Everyone seemed to have fun with the auction, including myself. I think that the auction may be an annual thing because it was such a success.
I'm still in the process of receiving payments for the auction items. I'm also working on packaging up the items and sending them out. It's been a lot of work to put this together but totally worth it. Again, THANK YOU!!
In just 2 days from April 6-8th I am hosting an online auction on my Caring for Carleigh FB page that will benefit Sufficient Grace Ministries. My original goal was to raise $1000 for the ministry but I have since bumped that goal up to $2000. I know that God can make anything happen so I have faith it can be done! Thank you to everyone who has generously donated an item and for those planning on participating in the auction. Your support means a lot and is very much appreciated!
Online Auction April 6-8 to benefit Sufficient Grace Ministries.
Sufficient Grace Ministries for Women, a 501 (c ) 3 non-profit, non-denominational Christian organization, was founded in 2004 by Kelly Gerken with the purpose of reaching out to women and families to offer comfort, encouragement and hope. The Dreams of You division of this ministry was created specifically to provide comfort to women and families who have lost a ba...by through miscarriage, stillbirth, or infant death.
Bereaved parents are never asked to pay for materials. The ministry is supported through donations from individuals, hospitals and other organizations.
Items are not up for bid until April 6, but items may be viewed in the auction album beforehand. Items may continue to be added to the album up until the day of the auction.
On the day of auction (April 6th), bids can be begin to be placed at midnight and can continue to be placed until April 8 at 11:30 pm EST. You can place a bid by simply leaving a comment under the item you want to bid on. There will be no starting bids so feel free to enter a starting amount to your liking if you are the first bidder. In order to bid on items, the bidder must "like" the Caring for Carleigh FB page.
All winners will be notified in the first several days after the auction has ended. Payment is expected within 48 hours after the winner has been notified through PayPal unless other arrangements have been made. Checks and money orders can be accepted as an alternative if buyer has no PayPal account but items will not be shipped until payment is received and cleared.
We hope that you will join us for the auction and help us toward the goal of raising over $2,000 for Sufficient Grace!

As college basketball fans finish filling out their NCAA March Madness brackets for "Selection Sunday" on March 11, Yahoo is unveiling a cross platform campaign for Mercedes Benz that also represents a test of its ability to use its connected TV app and social TV property IntoNow and as an a vehicle for blue chip sponsorships.
How well this campaign does for Yahoo will certainly influence its approach to content and advertising programs for the London Summer Olympics. And it will also demonstrate to advertisers what Yahoo can and can't do with the enormous scale it has on the web -- as well how well the company can scale its relatively new extensions on tablets, social and on connected TV.
"This is not a cross platform program in that we're connected with CBS and Turner," which are the respective broadcast and cable TV outlets for March Madness programming, said Patrick Albano, Yahoo's VP, Sales for Social, Mobile & Product Innovation, in an interview. "This is about showcasing our original coverage of the event and connecting advertisers with our audience on all screens."
While ad spending is relatively non-existent on connected TV apps and social TV, the signs that audiences are at least experimenting with these features in large numbers are starting to emerge, at least when major events like awards shows or sports championship playoffs are on.
For now, it's an experiment or side-project for most media companies and advertisers. The idea is to figure out and help shape the audience experience before the (hoped for) mass numbers start appearing, rather than playing catch-up after the fact.
And Yahoo does have some numbers to brag about in terms of reach and usage. For example, IntoNow, the program check-in app that Yahoo acquired last April for $20 million, reached 2 million downloads in January. And while connected TV is not a major ad focus in its own right, Yahoo is working on building up its content and reach on that platform as well.
The Yahoo Connected TV platform runs on over 100 TV models from manufacturers including Samsung, Sony, Vizio, and Toshiba and the portal claims over 8 million households have access to it. At the moment, the connected TV app has about 1 million monthly users, Yahoo says.
Given that the connected TV hasn't been as much of a focus as other parts of the Yahoo universe, the app certainly has potential for growth. But ultimately, it will depend on whether advertisers like Mercedes, and DiGiorno pizza, the other main sponsor of Yahoo's March Madness programming, will derive any brand lift from the app's users and whether Yahoo can use a high profile tournament like this one to drive more users.

Every year, more and more corporations are announcing their support for bitcoin. In 2015 alone, companies like Microsoft and Dell began accepting bitcoin as a legal form of currency. Unfortunately, despite its growing popularity, there are still a number of misconceptions that exist about bitcoin. In order to help eliminate these misconceptions and further promote the use of bitcoin, this guide will take a look at why small businesses should consider accepting bitcoin in particular.
Unlike other transactions, bitcoin transactions are simply handled between two accounts. Since there is no need for an intermediary, such as a bank, there are no hidden fees that get unnecessarily tacked on after a payment is completed. For small businesses that have struggled in the past to stay competitive in their market, or have struggled with raising prices to stay in business, eliminating any unnecessary fees can actually relieve a huge burden.
Bitcoin is routinely quicker than virtually any other payment type, because it doesn’t require verification from a number of different institutions. Bitcoin payments can quickly be delivered from a customer directly to the business, ensuring that there aren’t any unnecessary hiccups that cause further complications down the road. For small businesses that typically deal with larger clients, quick payments can be the difference between keeping the business running for another month and shutting down.
Small businesses that typically ship things into and out of the country have to deal with a number of processes before they can be rightfully paid for their products and services. With bitcoin though, borders are a thing of the past. Bitcoin payments can be sent to anywhere in the world from anywhere in the world. Since bitcoin isn’t tied to any singular government entity, there aren’t any transaction fees or shifting exchange rates when dealing with other countries.
This point is of particular importance to small businesses, where every sale counts. Unlike a credit card, there is no way for a customer to challenge a purchase with bitcoin. After a successful transaction, businesses don’t need to worry about offering refunds or dealing with credit card fraud claims. Instead, bitcoin transactions are final.
Unlike other currencies, bitcoin’s value fluctuates much more. While this might scare off some from accepting it, the reality is that this is actually beneficial. For perspective, at one point a single bitcoin grew from being worth just $2 to over $1,200. Of course, its value has since fluctuated further, but the point remains. For small businesses that are on the lookout for growth opportunities, bitcoin represents the perfect alternative to other potential investments.
Although this last point may not have as much of an impact as the others, it’s still worth considering. For small businesses, word-of-mouth is just as important as the quality of their products and services. By accepting bitcoin, a small business can immediately join a group of select businesses across the country. This unique position makes it attractive for those who regularly use bitcoins in their daily life, especially if a business is the only one in its industry that currently accepts it. With that in mind, there’s virtually no risk to accepting bitcoin, and the benefits clearly outweigh any possible negatives.
One of the keys to running any successful business, regardless of how big or small it is, is to make the best use of the technology that is currently available. As bitcoins grow in popularity, businesses will need to ask themselves which side of history they’d rather be on. As this guide has hopefully made it clear, the choice should be obvious.

Allegheny County, PA is experiencing a surge in CCWs over the last year, going from issuing between 50 to 100 licenses a day in 2015 to issuing 100 to 200 per day this year. The county sheriff stated he believed the increase in CCW applications was correlated to the recent instances of terrorism – but residents disagreed.
Allegheny County could see a 40 percent increase in the number of licenses to carry a concealed weapon this year over last year, according to the deputy sheriff who oversees the office that issues them.
Deputy Sheriff Ryan Foster, speaking to about 300 residents attending a seminar hosted by two local state legislators Saturday morning in Oakdale, said his office in the Allegheny County Courthouse, Downtown, used to issue about 50 to 100 such licenses a day. But this year the office has typically issued 100 to 200 — or more — licenses a day.
[State Rep.] Mustio began the seminar by telling the crowd that data from the state police show that the number of annual gun sales have grown from 415,000 in 2006 to 755,000 in 2015, while violent crime dropped from 53,000 incidents in 2006 to 40,000 in 2014.
“Since gun sales have skyrocketed, violent crimes are down almost 25 percent,” he told a crowd that clapped enthusiastically in response, with some in the audience saying “Yes,” and “Beautiful,” while they clapped.
Some attending the three-hour-long seminar featuring six speakers talking about gun rights, believed that the reason for the increase was simply better education about how to get the license and awareness that having a license makes you legal to have a gun in more situations.
But Mr. Foster said those applying for the license made it clear to him and his staff what the main reason is.

Peripheral neuropathy happens when nerves, most commonly in the fingers and toes, are damaged. Damage to these nerves can be caused by breast cancer or, more commonly, its treatment.
Peripheral nerves send messages to and from the brain and the spinal cord (the central nervous system) and the rest of the body.
The nerves in the hands and feet are long nerves and are more prone to damage.
The most common cause of peripheral neuropathy in people with breast cancer is chemotherapy.
These drugs can cause damage to the nerves that allow you to feel sensations like pain, temperature, touch and vibration (called sensory nerves) but other nerves can be affected too.
Peripheral neuropathy can also be caused by the cancer pressing on a nerve or other cancer treatments, such as surgery or radiotherapy.
For some people the symptoms are mild and go away soon after treatment stops. However, for most the symptoms will last longer, gradually improving over the weeks and months after the treatment has finished. Some symptoms may not disappear completely and, occasionally, the symptoms can worsen even after the treatment has stopped.
There’s no sure way to prevent or reverse peripheral neuropathy, though studies are looking into this.
If you have already had peripheral neuropathy and need further treatment for your cancer, your doctor may discuss using drugs that do not have this as a possible side effect.
If you develop any symptoms let your specialist team know. For most people symptoms are likely to slowly and gradually improve over time once the drug is stopped. However, in some cases peripheral neuropathy is permanent.
If the symptoms you are experiencing are having a big impact on your quality of life, your doctor may talk to you about delaying, reducing or stopping treatment to make sure it doesn’t get any worse.
Treatment is mostly given to relieve nerve pain (sometimes called neuropathic pain). This can be helped by taking drugs usually used to help treat depression or epilepsy, which are known to also help pain caused by damage to nerves. These include amitriptyline, pregabalin and gabapentin. Unlike many other types of pain, nerve pain isn’t helped much by common pain relief drugs such as paracetamol and ibuprofen.
Your cancer specialist can also refer you to a specialist pain team who may suggest other types of pain relief or alternative ways of trying to manage symptoms, for example using physiotherapy or acupuncture.
If you’re experiencing numbness in your hands and feet, try to limit the possibility of injury. For example, don’t walk barefoot and protect your hands and feet from getting too hot or cold.
It’s also important to check regularly for any injuries to your hands and feet so that if you do injure yourself, this can be dealt with quickly. This may prevent the injury getting worse or you developing an infection.
A referral to an occupational therapist may be useful for people with persistent problems. They may have ideas for ways of helping with everyday activities.
If you are struggling with the side effects of breast cancer treatment you don’t have to cope alone. You can call our Helpline free on 0808 800 6000 for information and support. We can also put you in touch with one of our trained volunteers, who have personal experience of breast cancer and know what you are going through.

Photo: Antigua and Barbuda’s prime minister, Gaston Browne, leads the CARICOM delegation on a tour of Barbuda’s devastated capital, Codrington.
Turkeyen, Greater Georgetown, Guyana – CARICOM’s chairman, Prime Minister Dr. Keith Mitchell of Grenada, and Secretary-General Ambassador Irwin LaRocque carried out a tour of hurricane-devastated islands Wednesday, indicating that arrangements are being made to convene an international donors conference to mobilise the “significant resources” required for the recovery effort.
The touring CARICOM delegation included Ronald Jackson, executive director of the Caribbean Disaster Emergency Management Agency (CDEMA), which is the CARICOM Institution coordinating the regional hurricane disaster response; and Captain Errington Shurland, executive director of the Regional Security System (RSS).
Antigua and Barbuda’s prime minister, Gaston Browne, joined the delegation for the tour of Barbuda, where the government’s assessment shows more than 90 percent of the buildings on the island were destroyed. Browne confirmed that all Barbuda residents have been relocated to sister island Antigua, with just a contingent of military personnel remaining to provide security.
In the British Virgin Islands, where the delegation toured affected communities and met with Premier Dr. Orlando Smith and government and disaster management officials, the focus is on meeting critical immediate needs such as water and food supplies and restoring access to electricity and telecommunications, while simultaneously working on arrangements for getting students back into schools and getting critical sectors of the economy such as tourism and financial services back up to speed. Smith noted that the government headquarters building is among the those destroyed and his office has had to be relocated to the main hospital building.
Anguilla’s chief minister, Victor Banks, who joined the CARICOM delegation on the tour of his island where the main hospital, schools and 90 percent of the homes were damaged, said he is also working to address the pressing need for food, water, building supplies and electricity and confronting any challenges to the critical tourism sector.
Mitchell acknowledged “the extremely high level of devastation” in these and the other affected islands, and said substantial international support is required to build on the ongoing financial and other contributions by Caribbean governments, individuals and organisations.
He said the requested support must include psychological counselling to help affected people overcome the trauma of the hurricane Irma experience. “We will use our regional and international contacts to leverage the required support” he added.
Secretary-General LaRocque said given the scale of the destruction, countries and institutions in the international community must be willing to build on the current relief efforts by the Caribbean community and he said invitations are already being sent to development partners for the soon-to-be convened donors conference.
“The governments can’t do it alone,” the secretary-general said. “We need to mobilise international help from partner countries in the international community. We hope to have this donor meeting as soon as possible and the mobilisation has started.” He added that a representative of the UN Offices in Barbados who was included on the tour has already been in contact with his head office.
In the meantime, CDEMA has been facilitating much of the regional collaboration through a hub in Antigua for the affected Eastern Caribbean islands, and one in Jamaica for the Western Caribbean, including the Turks and Caicos Islands, Haiti and The Bahamas. CDEMA, working in conjunction with national disaster management offices, has been coordinating the provision of required personnel, relief supplies and other support in the run-up to, during, and after the passage of Irma.
