I have read through the forums, but not found the exact answer to my question.
My wife and I are both US citizens. I live and work here in HK, and have a HK ID card, my wife and our kids, ages 2 and 6, will be joining me here in June 2007. I am fluent in written Chinese and spoken Mandarin, but speak little Cantonese (yet). My wife and kids speak no Chinese. We will be living in Shatin (probably) or perhaps Kowloon. So far, I have applied on my daughter's behalf to two ESF schools (Shatin Junior and Renaissance College, in Ma On Shan)and two other bilingual International Schools, one in Kowloon, one on HK Island. Our goals for the kids are to learn good written and spoken Mandarin while keeping pace in English.
1. As a non-Chinese speaker and (soon to be) resident of HK, is my daughter actually guaranteed a spot in an ESF school? I hear different answers on this. All of the schools (of course) send me nothing but form-letter replies to all emails and letters: "Our school is horribly competitive, who knows if anybody will get a place, etc., etc." If she isn't guaranteed a spot, local schools are not an option for her given the lack of Cantonese, so what then?
2. I have heard the level of Chinese, especially written, is quite low in the ESF system, but that Ren College may be an exception to this. Any first-hand knowledge (actually, even wild speculation would be welcome at this point!)?
Please try Bradbury School 43 Stubb's Road. Visit www.bradbury.edu.hk.
You will get admission there as long as you can prove, you stay in vicinity of the school.
If the ESF route proves to be impossible, Hong Kong has quite a range of other 'international' schools, i.e. private schools that teach in English. There are many, and they vary greatly in background, approach and price.
To get you started, this page from Google has links to quite a few.
Hong Kong's Education and Manpower Department has information you might find helpful. A good place to start seems to be here. The prospectus on international education you find there should be most useful if you end up looking for non-ESF international schools.
You might also find this discussion thread here at Batgung a help; scroll down to the comments especially.
I don't know much about Renaissance College, although I had a quick look at their website, and it seems they do focus on teaching Chinese more than the other ESF schools do, but that's purely an impression -- they're very new, so if anyone else knows more, please do tell!
The way I've been explained it is that ESF schools are obliged to take english children in their catchment area. If they are full they then need to refer you to the next nearest ESF school who should then accomodate you. I've personally not ever heard of anyone who hasn't been accepted to an ESF school.
If you're going to live in Shatin / Kowloon then Bradbury is really far away for such a small child to travel to each day.
Further, the 5 year old of our next door neighbour is attending a cantonese medium local Kindergarten, which she can stay at until she is 8. Her parents are both british and do not speak, read or write a word of Cantonese. She is quite happy there and is pretty fluent in Cantonese (she's been there since 3). It is not impossible if you would choose that option.
1. RC offers Chinese (taught in Mandarin) at different levels, including what we call baby class,ie. for students with zero Chinese. Baby class will learn simplified characters. I think the class time for Chinese is about 4 hours per week.
2. The Chinese teacher team includes westerners. In my child's year level (year 7), the baby class is taught by a western teacher. The head of Chinese is a Chinese gentleman but he speaks perfect English.
3. RC uses local textbooks. Students can access a website for reading practice. RC primary kids recently won the championship in local speech festival.
4. Except for Chinese, all other subjects are taught in English.
5. Majority of the primary students are local kids. They mostly speak Cantonese to each other during social hours. But usually they will switch to English when talking to kids who do not speak Chinese. The English speaking environment is stronger in the secondary. I seldom see the secondary students talk in Chinese.
6. The teachers are generally nice and caring. They are very responsive to parents' feedbacks. My child's advisory teacher even gave parents his mobile phone number.
8. RC is a warm and welcoming school. My child enjoys school very much and so far I am very happy about the school.
9. If you live in Shatin, I think RC will be an ideal choice in terms of location. I also live in Shatin. It takes only 10 minutes to drive to RC. Also RC has an entrance connected to the KCR ( train )exit. You need to think carefully if you consider schools on the HK side. The very early morning pick-up and long school bus travel will tire your kids out.
10. If you want to know a bit more about the RC primary school, let me have your specific questions. I shall see if I can find the answers for you.
Thanks very much for your replies. As far as you know, is it true that English-speaking kids are guaranteed a spot at the nearest ESF school? Does this go for RC as well? I have already put in an application for my daughter, but if she does not come to HK until June or July, will there be time for her to get a spot for the school year starting September 07? And finally, 4 hours per week does not sound like much time to study Chinese. Is this really enough for the kids to learn the written language well? When you mention using "local" text books, are these in Chinese?
1. RC was established under the HK govt's Private Independent Schools (PIS)Scheme. The govt gave the school the land and partial funding for the construction but no recurrent subsidies. So RC charges a higher fee than other ESF schools. Currently a few hundred more than other ESF schools for secondary; a thousand more for primary.
2. Unlike other ESF schools, RC has no catchment requirement. Students all over Hong Kong can apply to RC. The admission process for RC is separate from the centralised system for other ESF schools.
have to have at least 70% of its students whose parents (either mom or dad)are permanent residents of HK (three stars in HKID card). But permanent residents are not necessarily local HK people. Many of the parents of my child's schoolmates are westerners and they have stayed in HK for a long time and have become permanent residents. Also many students are from HK families returning from Canada and Australia etc. These kids look like local Chinese but do not speak much Chinese.
RC is new and expanding and is not yet reaching its full capacity. So I think the 70% requirement should not affect their admission policy at the moment. Rather I have the feeling that they prefer native English speaking kids so that a better English speaking environment can be built up in the school.
will consider your application only after you are not able to secure a place in other ESF schools. But this is only informal info.
Sorry, I got to go home. Will answer your questions later.
"is it true that English-speaking kids are guaranteed a spot at the nearest ESF school? Does this go for RC as well"
(first question) Yes, in principle but your nearest school may not have places available.
(second question) No, this is not applicable to RC. Catchment area policy does not apply to RC. You have to "compete" for a place with applicants living anywhere in HK.
"I have already put in an application for my daughter, but if she does not come to HK until June or July, will there be time for her to get a spot for the school year starting September 07"
The school year usually finishes in late June. If you indicated June or July as your intended date of entry and if your child is admitted, I guess the school will automatically delay your start date to the next school year (commencing Aug). But you better check with the school on this.
"4 hours per week does not sound like much time to study Chinese. Is this really enough for the kids to learn the written language well?"
4 hours per week applies to my girl's year level (year 7). I heard that the primary is more or less the same at the moment but may increase the hours when more Chinese language teachers are on board. 4 hours is far better than other ESF schools. I was told other ESF schools have much less time for Chinese. I can find out the Chinese hours for two ESF primary schools in Kowloon from my friends. Will let you know later for a comparison.
Don't be too ambitious about Chinese language learning for your kids. Chinese is a much more difficult language than English. You will be lucky if your children do not hate Chinese, let alone being proficient. Local HK kids studying in bilingual international schools here generally like English and hate Chinese. My child is a good example. She is reluctant to read anything written in Chinese.
"When you mention using "local" text books, are these in Chinese?"
I meant RC uses locally developed textbooks for Chinese ( at least for my child's year level). What I said in point no. 3 in my first message applies to Chinese only. For all other subjects, I don't think there are any textbooks. Even if there are, they must be in English. I mentioned "local" just to distinguish RC from other International schools which may use Singapore or Mainland China materials.
Some primary year levels at RC are full. In what year was your first child born?
Amelia was born 31/3/2000, so I think she would be applying for Year 3.
Children born in 2000 should apply for year 3 in 2007-8 school year. Read from the school newsletter that this year group has most students (125) among all year levels. I was told before that the full capacity for each year level was 6 classes x 25 students. So there is a chance of RC offering an extra class for this year group.
I think you should apply to both RC and Shatin Junior. The non-PIS schools of ESF have the obligation to take on students who cannot learn in Chinese. Even if Shatin Junior is full, you will be referred to other ESF schools.
Did you apply to International Christian School (US curriculum)? It is also under the PIS scheme and its new campus in Shek Mun (also in Shatin) is expected to be ready in late 2007. Heard that ICS is also a caring school but the level of their Chinese programme is pretty low.
Do you think RC is a good school?
Hi Mrs C, I was surfing the internet for information on Renaissance College and found a detailed answer written by you. Both RC and ESF Shatin have offered my daughter a place for entering P-1 but I am really confused on which one to choose. ESF Shatin has a longer history but less lessons on Chinese. Whereas RC is a new school but it seems to me that it is more a bilingual school. My daughter does not speak or write Chinese at the moment (we are currently overseas)but I hope she can catch with it when we move back to Hong Kong. Welcome your comments on this. Thank you.
If you are serious about your child (and particularly a non-native speaker of Chinese) attaining significant competency in Chinese, you should send them to a local school or possibly one of the international schools which emphasize Chinese (ISF, CIS (Chinese International School), Kingston, Yew Chung); if you do the latter, you may well still need to arrange extensive outside tutoring. (Of course, if you send your kid to a local school, you may need to do English tutoring :-)).
In my observation, ESF schools, including Renaissance, give non-native students some exposure to Mandarin as a foreign language and to Chinese culture, sort of like taking French or Spanish in junior high school in the US. Some ability to speak and listen to simple language and extremely limited ability to read and write. The academic and to some extent the social environments are resolutely English (although the student body, especially at Renaissance, may be majority ethnically Chinese). The greater difficulty of mastering written Chinese makes this almost inevitable without much greater commitment on the part of both administration and parents; and these are not intended to be bilingual schools.
Of course there are ESF students who win prizes for their competency in Chinese, but they probably didn't attain that competency at school. It will be a combination of a Chinese-language home environment and outside tutoring, plus very likely summer classes in the mainland or Taiwan.
Mandarin-speaking (PRC) parents in our area feel that the Chinese competency of a child who has finished primary 2 in the mainland will undoubtedly exceed that of graduates of any English-language primary school. These parents are all sending their children to ESF, Renaissance, or international schools, where they are tracked into the highest "native" level of Chinese (Mandarin) teaching; the children are typically tutored in Chinese after school once or twice a week. But they still see this difference in proficiency.
If your child is NOT a native speaker and is put in the "baby track" that an earlier poster mentioned, there seems to be little expectation that they will move up, although some do.
Friends of ours who are not native speakers of Chinese but who have both studied Mandarin, one quite seriously, were happy to get a slot for their child at Renaissance because of its reputation for better Chinese. (Their child was coming to HK mid-primary school, so they hesitated to parachute into a local school). While it may be that Renaissance does put more emphasis on Mandarin than many ESF schools, our friends are frustrated by how little is being taught or expected in the non-native track. Very likely this child will move into a higher level in time, but if so, it will be entirely due to the extra effort his family is making at home and during summers. I also know of European children who moved into ESF or Renaissance around 3rd or 4th grade from the local system (Mandarin school) due to homework burden concerns; needless to say, they are in the native track in their new schools, but their Mandarin has atrophied or is even being forgotten. The written level is simply too low, and they get little reinforcement for the spoken language because it is Mandarin rather than Cantonese.
Then there is the simplified vs. traditional characters issue. Isn't there always?
At Renaissance, non-native students are taught simplified characters; native Chinese speakers are taught traditional characters. This means that if your non-native child tries to move up a track in Chinese there, s/he will have to switch from simplified to traditional. Can you hear me banging my head on the wall here? It would make more sense, in my opinion, to teach all levels in one script or the other.
Paranthetically, this also affects children who come into Renaissance in the native track from ESF or international schools which teach simplified characters across the board to all levels. It is a simpler matter for them to adjust (the better your mastery of written Chinese, the easier the transition), but it gives pause to some [PRC Chinese] parents.
I do not take sides in the broader culture war over which is "better" as a script, simplified or traditional characters; and it's not nearly as much of a divide as people sometimes make out. But I think that especially for non-native speakers, it is a mistake to teach Chinese in simplified characters in Hong Kong. Why sacrifice the visual reinforcement of the surrounding environment? Why limit book-buying to trips to Shenzhen? Why erect any extra barrier? (Of course, this could apply to teaching Mandarin vs. Cantonese, but one skreed per post, I think). And if you are going to switch systems, it's easier to go from traditional to simplified than the other way around - this is the one thing everyone agrees on. A child from a non-Chinese speaking/reading/writing home is automatically at a disadvantage in learning this complex script - why make it harder?
OK, tantrum over. Just to be clear - this is not a criticism of education at ESF, Renaissance, or the international schools in general. It seems like you can get a good education (in English) at all of them. But for Chinese, you really need to ask yourself what you are expecting, and what you will be satisfied with.

Floors can often get neglected as we prioritise what we can see at eye level, however really our floors should take the lead. A clean and fresh floor can be easily achieved and maintained, helping create a beautiful space to eat, entertain and enjoy.
Wooden flooring is a major investment and it needs regular cleaning to keep it gleaming. Make sure the area is clear: move any obstructing furniture, brush and hoover to get rid of any surface dirt and debris. You should avoid applying water directly to the surface of your flooring, this can cause the wood to warp and also damage the finish. In a spray bottle mix 5% of your chosen floor cleaner with water 95%. Lightly spray your floor surface, then using a microfibre mop, run the mop back and forth along the grain in smooth strokes. For heavy traffic or hard to clean areas increase your concentrated mix. Still not sparkling? Ted Todd offer two dedicated care systems to get the very best from your solid wood floors.
Clean the area by using a dust mop, soft bristle broom or a vacuum cleaner with suction only (no beater bar). You should avoid wet- mop cleaning on laminate floors and avoid applying cleaner directly onto the surface of the laminate. Instead, spray a Laminate cleaner, such as Mohawk’s FloorCare Essentials Hardwood & Laminate Cleaner onto a cotton terry cloth or microfiber mop, mop and leave to dry.
Again, remove any residue from the area with a brush/hoover. Clean tiles with mild detergent and clean water, using a rag or chamois-type mop rather than a sponge mop. Ecover recommend using 1 to 2 capfuls of their natural floor soap in half a bucket of warm water. Be sure to change the water frequently while mopping; dirty water equals a cloudy floor. The real secret to a great-looking tile floor is clean grout. Grout is porous and absorbs grease and other stains. Skip commercial cleaners and instead make a paste of baking soda and water. Rub it on the stain, let it sit overnight, then scrub the stain in the morning with a stiff nylon brush (a metal brush will damage the grout). Repeat as necessary.

Is it time to update your old car radio? See more pictures of car gadgets.
Is it even possible that there's an automobile owner with a soul so dead that they've never said to him- or herself, "My car needs more gadgets"? Well, yes, it's likely that there are a few car owners out there like this; however, unless you've spent a huge amount of cash on a luxury car with all the options, it's doubtful that your car has every piece of automotive entertainment electronics currently on the market. Does it have an iPod dock? Can it play MP3 files off a CD? Does it have state-of-the-art speakers? A backup camera? Can your car parallel park itself? Do you have a grille-mounted (stealth) radar detector? A top-of-the-line navigation system? Has your mouth started to water yet?
If you're wondering how you can upgrade your car's electronics, we're here to help. There's a lot of aftermarket gadgetry out there at fairly reasonable prices and it's hard to get out of an electronics warehouse store without seeing a gizmo or two that would make your driving experience more pleasurable. But here's the big question: How do you get all of that gear into your car? Many retailers will happily install your new device for you at a price, but the cost of installation could easily double or triple the cost of your new toy. Do you dare bypass the professional installers and take your chances with electrical tape and a screwdriver? Do you have the electronic savvy to install it yourself?
This isn't a question you should take lightly. If you don't know what you're doing when installing automobile electronics, there's a good chance you could harm your new equipment, your car, or even yourself. On the following pages we'll look at what you need to know in order to install your own in-car electronics and also give you a few reasons why you may or may not want to do the job on your own.

Carefully consider this code before using it in a very busy web site. It's currently not really optimized as it loops through each of the fields every time you want to check a field name. One way to optimize the use of this code is to never call it inside a loop. Instead, store the results of each search operation outside a loop and use that value inside the loop every time you need it. Additionally, you could store the collection of fields in a local variable so you don't have to loop through it every time.

Chitral: Kalasha valley Biriu, where last night landsliding hits Biaw village where three houses had been reported damaged due to heavy rain. While there is no harm to human, all member of the families are safe in the incident. The affected people are compiled to live under the open sky. Meanwhile member minorities at district council Adv.

‘We are all fools in love’ wrote Jane Austen in Pride and Prejudice. Fools, dear reader, know right from wrong yet choose to not care one jot. Their reason abandons them, the advices of closed ones fall on deaf ears, the dangers ahead don’t register and the only face, the only voice, the only touch that can save and/or doom a lover is of beloved.
But this is how it begins. As time passes and two people come to know the dark, dreary side of each other the freshness and novelty make way for knowledge and routine. The ‘I’ that had once taken a backseat makes a comeback. The ‘You’, that was whole becomes a part. And the march of love’s beauty inches closer to its brutality.
‘To say I love you one must first be able to say the ‘I’, wrote Ayn Rand, an American philosopher and novelist. Another giant from a different place and time imagines inferno in the following lines ‘What is hell? I maintain that it is the suffering of being unable to love.’ writes Fyodor Dostoevsky in his magnum opus The Brothers Karamazov.

Sunday, 30 July 2017, 8:35a.m.
Labour's threatening to wipe the Māori Party off the map, but the Māori Party's star candidate is calling it an empty threat.
The Labour Party is launching its Māori electorate campaign and a Māori housing policy at Nga Whare Waatea Marae in south Auckland this morning.
They've enlisted former TV weatherman Tamati Coffey to stand against Māori Party co-leader Te Ururoa Flavell in Waiariki. It's the party's only electorate seat.
Willie Jackson, who is running Labour's Māori campaign, believes their days in parliament will be numbered if Flavell loses the seat.
"The reality is you can carry on, but their days in parliament will just about be over if they lost the Waiariki seat," Jackson said.
But the Māori Party's Shane Taurima, who is running in Tāmaki Makaurau, says his door knocking suggests otherwise.
"I guarantee you there is a big gap between Te Ururoa Flavell and Tamati Coffey in the Waiariki seat," Taurima said.
Hundreds of people turned out for yesterday's Hikoi for Hope in Manurewa calling for a community-run night shelter in Manurewa, following the death of two homeless people in two cold weeks.
Labour will announce a Māori housing strategy, which is expected to include government-led home-building.
Willie Jackson says families have told him they're sick of the government giving them a pittance.
"We won't give out crumbs in terms of Whānau Ora. Housing, health, and education - we have the budgets in there to make sure our people and secure and comfortable."
Taurima says he's speaking to many homeless people, and their most pressing need is for emergency accommodation.
"I've been there for the last three months working for our homeless," he said. "They want some help. They don't want a handout, they want a hand up."
"There's between forty and sixty homeless people living in [the] Manurewa community alone, and I know them on first-name basis, and they know me as well."
Taurima says he's disappointed he isn't seeing other Tāmaki Makaurau candidates out on the streets talking to the homeless as well.
Willie Jackson has also made a plea to the Green Party to extend their election alliance to Māori seats, after Greens co-leader Metiria Turei ruled out striking a deal.
Jackson argues that if the Greens want to change the government they shouldn't be contesting the Māori seats that Labour needs to win.
"Things have changed quite a bit and all I'm saying is we should get around the table again because some of the Green representatives could split our vote. That's just the facts."
National has a deal with the Māori Party and encourages supporters to vote for Māori Party candidates in those seats.

Despite the efforts of healthcare providers, medical error rates in communities, hospitals, and homes remain high. Patients and families pay for errors through disability and death. Preventable medical errors not only affect patients, family members, and healthcare providers, but also contribute to soaring healthcare costs. Errors emerge from a complex interaction of factorsc. The good intentions of healthcare providers are not enough to halt errors. They need to be well informed about when and where errors can occur. The reporting of medical errors and action plans to correct the problems have been increasingly on the national agenda. This activity will explore approaches to prevent medical errors that are both system-based and human performance-based and describe The Joint Commission National Patient Safety Goals as they pertain to medical errors in hospitals.

And as a sign of protest, she stops taking her medicines. To pacify his grandmother, he lies that he is in a relationship with a girl named Noorie. He even sends her a picture of her. But that picture however is of Miloni (Sanya Malhotra), a scholar from a Gujarati family. Rafi clicked a picture of her when she got separated from her family at Gateway of India. When she say her family searching for her, she left taking the photograph and without paying Rafi, who is in awe of her innocence and beauty. Rafi’s grandmother is so happy to hear that Rafi is seeing someone that she decides to come to Mumbai to meet him and Noorie. Rafi later meets Miloni and the persuades her to meet her grandmother once. Miloni later agrees and what happens next forms the rest of the film.
Like his earlier film, this is another slow burning will they – won’t they romance film. The film is light hearted and made up of small moments that come together to complete the film. The characters are interesting and how two different personalities have come together bound by a situation that has happened and it all comes together nicely in the end.
Technically, the film is great. Tim Gillis and Ben Kutchins’ cinematography is really good and they’ve captured the scenes quite brilliantly. Editing by John F. Lyons is good as well. The script written by Ritesh Batra is nice and what he has written has poured out nicely on the screen and it shows. The production design as well as the costume design are great too.
Performances wise, the film is brilliant. You don’t expect anything less than brilliant of Nawazuddin and he doesn’t let you down at all. He is great as usual, just another day another top drawer performance, nothing new. Sanya Malhotra proves to be an equal match to Nawazuddin with her stunning performance. Farrukh Jafar is likeable. Cameos from Jim Sarbh and Vijay Raaz are good too. Rest of the cast offer abled support.
Director Ritesh Batra, like his previous film LUNCH BOX has done a commendable job of making this film. He has made a lovely film which has a slight tone of sadness to it. He has brought out these two wonderful and lovable characters with this film and gotten out great performances from his actors to compliment the characters that he has written.
The film is a non-starter.

Can someone please give me some brief instructions on how to install 2 network cards on a single Winows NT 4.0 server?
Hi, right click on network neighborhood (or go through "network" in control panel), click on tab that says adapters and press add. NT will ask for the disk or location of the new nic drivers and will load some files (so have cd ready unless you haveI386 folder on drive). After you reboot and the adapter is installed, click on tcp/ip and then properties (assuming you run tcp/ip) You'll see adapters (1) and click on arrow to display other adapters, in this case #2. You can then assign a tcp/ip address, subnet mask and gateway if applicable, etc. for the second adapter. When complete, close and nt will bind instructions to the nic and ask you to reboot. Hope this helps.
The previous answer did an excellent job of describing the install process. The only thing I could add is to make sure you have non-conflicting IRQ assignments available for both cards. I have occasionally seen problems when two new cards were inserted at the same time - theoretically, it shouldn't matter but I've had better luck getting one up and running and then adding the other (especially if both are the same make and model).
That also has the advantage that you can install the first card, get it working, and then label it on the back of the computer so you don't get the two mixed up and get your subnets crossed.
Always use the KISS method. Install one at a time as suggested by the second answer. Life is easier by troubleshooting one thing at time!
The above answers are correct, but another thing to watch out for is both having the same Address. If it's not a jumper setting on the card, it might be software driven or you might have to set it up in the bios. Good Luck!
I will try removing the installed protocols and NIC first.
install the NIC's, Connect cables for both cards. Start the system installed drivers for both check for IRQ conflicts. add the protocols and IP Addresses. make sure both cards has same speed. better to add same branded cards.

How ecology connects to us – The functions of people and ecology ought to be an ideal fit. Yet misunderstanding of ecology on the base levels is glaring. And dangerous. The comment on this misunderstanding, is, naturally, a neo-awareness of global warming pollutants in soil, air, and water. It started with the ecological imbalance. The analogy is that the skin covering bodies.
So, why is there an posturing by nature’s balance and people who decry any progress? Foolishly, blinders are preferred by a portion of the world’s population. For many centuries, it had been assumed the huge oceans were “self-cleaning”. Ocean dumping was at peak levels. Until ecology and individuals confronted the disasters of toxic waste washing up on beaches, bulk inhabitants of dead and dying fish and sea life and the environmental balance tilted dangerously toward enormous bodies of water found to be polluted, unfit for swimming or fish for human consumption. Coral reefs were discovered to be dying in undersea beds because of the growth and pollution.
However, the attack did not stop with water contamination. Air pollution affects people and ecology by destroying procedures in a sort of mutation. Once deforestation happens from rain and other pollutants that are hazardous, the next thing is the imbalance of ecology on birds, insects, and creatures. These creatures feed is the natural elements which are necessary for procreation and growth. Humans view the majority of the animal life on Earth in a sort of fairy tale attitude that is controllable. Polar bears seeking food closer to habitats, brown and black bears benefit from feeding on trash cans weakening their survival. Soil receives a proportion of pollutants from the way of life.

One of the best ways to improve your marketing process is to incorporate CRM software (ACT!, HubSpot, Salesforce, Zoho). If your company has already done this, then just make it a point to involve the marketing team. If not, then strongly consider implementing CRM software. In addition to improving your marketing process, your sales team will also benefit from it.
The gap between marketing and sales teams is a black hole for productivity. There's just no reason to keep these two teams separate anymore, and if you do, then you're just hindering your own success.
"As Sales and Marketing departments come closer together, they are both beginning to learn new things. Sales are deepening their understanding of the brand equity of good communications, while Marketing adopt the precise metrics used by the sales team. Both teams are using CRM to manage the entire customer relationship, from first tickle to project engagement. That’s the way the future of CRM should be. "
There are two kinds of people: those that love data and those that don't. Even if you want to keep its role small, there's no denying that data can improve your marketing process. You'll rely less on intuition and more on statistic evidence. At the very least, your marketing efforts will become more consistent.
Don't let your marketing process hold your business back. Incorporate CRM software in your process for better efficiency and consistency.
How Much Employee Training is Necessary for CRM Software?
Employee training for CRM software is important, but there's a limit as to how much training is really necessary. For CRM software to be effective, it's true that employees need to understand the system and incorporate it in their daily tasks. Yet with all of the different CRM software providers on the market today, there's no reason not to choose a system that's intuitive and easy to grasp.
"Though many analysts emphasize the importance of upfront user education, Wettemann advises buying CRM software that is intuitive enough that most users won't require a great deal of training. Then rather than scheduling mass classroom training sessions, conduct small-group sessions with individuals or groups that need a little extra help, offering usage tips geared to their specific roles."
There are many important aspects to consider when selecting CRM software (ACT!, Salesforce, HubSpot) and employee training certainly isn't at the very top of the list. Businesses first need to consider the size of their company, their client base, and their budget.
But how intuitive a CRM system is should definitely have an impact on a business' final decision. CRM software is designed to make customer relations easier for the company and sales representatives in particular. There's no need to make them go through months and months of training to try and understand a complicated system.
When considering how much employee training for CRM software is necessary, keep the cost-benefit relationship of the purchase in mind. If training is starting to seem too costly and strenuous, then search for a more straightforward program.
If you would like more information about CRM software that doesn't require extensive employee training, contact us.

No credit cards? No wallet? No Problem.
It's no secret that people commonly use smartphones while in-store, however a new report has revealed the extent to which mobile devices influence the purchase journey for grocery shoppers.
The report from JiWire also asked respondents what information would most likely influence their purchase decision while in-store.
It's a good idea to be cautious about these types of questions as it's difficult for consumers to accurately predict their future behaviour, but even so it's no surprise to see that coupons and offers achieved the highest score.
Almost a third of respondents (28%) said that receiving a coupon while in-store would impact their shopping behaviour, followed by a sale item notification (20%), seeing an ad (15%) and searching for recipes (12%).

Since the filibuster was created by mistake in the first place, even though this is the worst time for the filibuster to go away, it’s very possible it may and the Republicans will get everything they want for the next 2 years!

Well, here's last Friday evening. I leave the office and down in the parking lot the Boxster is covered in a light blanket of ice crystals and a dusting of snow. Head for home. Nearby intersection, I catch a red light and watch with an amused grin as the guy heading towards me (with plenty of time and room to stop) runs the red light. As my light turns green, a glance to the right reveals a FedEx truck gunning it (no, he didn't slow down on the yellow) and he just blows through his red light (2 or 3 seconds after it went red). I just sat there and thought to myself, well, this is the essence of Massachusetts drivers - crappy weather, poor road conditions and two idiots run a red light within minutes of each other at the same intersection. Figures. Sumbit your story.
Well at least the MA drivers are reliable, you can count on them to run a red light. This morning on the way to work - two cars in front of me catch a red light at the same intersection (see previous post). No it wasn't even close, plenty of time to stop, in fact they both braked but when they saw no traffic coming from the other street, they both just blew through the light. All right, I want the GT tank from the banner. NE American model specifically for Boston area traffic.

A DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clot in a vein. These may present as red, painful and swollen legs (usually). The risks of a DVT are greater after any surgery (and especially bone surgery). Although not a problem themselves, a DVT can pass in the blood stream and be deposited in the lungs (a pulmonary embolism – PE). See later. This is a very serious condition which affects your breathing. Your doctors may give you medication through a needle to try and limit this risk of DVTs from forming. Some centres will also ask you to wear stockings on your legs, while others may use foot pumps to keep blood circulating around the leg. Starting to walk and getting moving is one of the best ways to prevent blood clots from forming.
This is usually small and can be stopped in the operation. However, large amounts of bleeding may need a blood transfusion or iron tablets. Rarely, the bleeding may form a blood clot or large bruise within the wound which may become painful and require an operation to remove it.
The hip will be sore after the operation. If you are in pain, it’s important to tell staff so that medicines can be given. Pain will improve with time. Rarely, pain will be a long term problem. This may be due to altered leg length or any of the other complications listed below, or sometimes, for no obvious reason.
Modern operating techniques and new implants, mean that most hip replacements last over 15 years. In some cases, this is significantly less. The reason is often unknown. Implants can wear from overuse. There is still debate as to which material is the strongest. The reason for loosening is also unknown. Sometimes it is secondary to infection. This may require removal of the implant and revision surgery.
The leg which has been operated upon, may appear shorter or longer than the other. This rarely requires a further operation to correct the difference or shoe implants.
If this occurs, the joint can usually be put back into place without the need for surgery. Sometimes this is not possible, and an operation is required, followed by application of a hip brace or rarely if the hip keeps dislocating, a revision operation may be necessary.
You will be given antibiotics just before and after the operation. The procedure will also be performed in sterile conditions (theatre) with sterile equipment. Despite this there are still infections (1 to 2½%). The wound site may become red, hot and painful. There may also be a discharge of fluid or pus. This is usually treated with antibiotics, but an operation to washout the joint may be necessary. In rare cases, the implants may be removed and replaced at a later date. The infection can sometimes lead to sepsis (blood infection) and strong antibiotics are required.
The wound may become red, thickened and painful (keloid scar) especially in Afro-Caribbean people. Massaging the scar with cream when it has healed may help.
Efforts are made to prevent this, however damage to the nerves around the hip is a risk. This may cause temporary or permanent altered sensation along the leg. In particular, there may be damage to the Sciatic Nerve, this may cause temporary or permanent weakness or altered sensation of the leg.
The thigh bone may be broken when the implant (metal replacement) is put in. This may require fixation, either at time or at a later operation.
The vessels around the hip may rarely be damaged. This may require further surgery by the vascular surgeons.
A PE is a consequence of a DVT. It is a blood clot that spreads to the lungs and can make breathing very difficult. A PE can be fatal.
This rare complication can occur from any of the above complications.

Well, after quite a few unexpected, and still mostly unexplained problems, I have finally managed to get Ubuntu 9.04 working on my netbook.
To get it working I did no more than download the desktop iso from here, create a bootable usb drive using Unetbootin, boot to this and then install Jaunty over my pre-existing older version of Ubuntu.
The only problem I've noticed so far is that flash doesn't work in YouTube in Opera 10 although it works fine in FireFox. What's more, the Speakeasy speed test works fine in Opera 10 and I know that this uses flash.
Another problem I've noticed, although this won't affect too many people, is that the Dialect Applet I use in AWN does not work as it should in Jaunty. Instead of changing on click from one language to another as happens in Ubuntu 8.04, a click brings up a language menu like it used to do before I suggested this improvement.
Now what's very strange is that when I tried the very same method for installing Jaunty, I kept getting an Error 13 (Invalid or unsupported executable format) when I tried to boot. I also tried to upgrade my Hardy (8.04) through Ibex (8.10) to Jaunty. Ibex seemed to work fine (and even Yakuake worked without problem although I had severe problems previously with Yakuake in Ibex). However, after the many hours required to upgrade Ibex to Jaunty, I once again got the very same Error 13.
Then on investigating I found that the vmlinuz-2.6.28-11-generic was a 0 Bytes file or, in other words, it was an empty file. How the hell did that happen?
Was this a problem with the server from where I downloaded the ISO and upgraded the Ibex? I really don't know but I can't see any other possible explanation.
Anyway, it's nice that Jaunty is working although, as with most Ubuntu upgrades, I'm always happy once nothing bad has happened and I'm less concerned about any improvements. Of these latter, I really haven't come across any up to now but it's early days yet.

I just love, love, love the feature in Google Analytics where you can check which one of your posts is the best potential moneymaker.
Jessica Bures explains how to do this very well.
Check which post is the best potential moneymaker!
However when I went to see which post I should be promoting that day, suddenly the Adsense option had disappeared! And I couldn't find it anywhere.
I checked if everything was still connected, and it was. I even deactivated all my plugins. But nothing make the Adsense tag reappear.
Then I had a bright idea! I knew I visited the adsense page in Google Analytics a week ago. So I went into my browser's history and found the page. And that's when I understood what happened!
They gave it a different name!
Duh... It's still there, but now it's called 'Publisher'!
I know there are more bloggers out there who struggled with this, so I decided to share the solution!
Have your connected your Google Adsense account with your Google Analytics account?
The two are connected from me, but I didn't realize I could see which posts were the bigges money makers. Thank you!
You're welcome Buba4Turtle. It's really easy.
Go to www.google.com/analytics and log in.
Click on Adsense or Publisher.
Click on Publisher Pages or Adsense pages.

Charleston's been getting lots of love in the world of travel pubs in the last few years, and this was truly the cherry on top of the sundae.

I was going to do this the old-fashioned, formal way, but when you get bored halfway through writing your own profile, you can’t really expect other people to stick with you right to the end. That’s why I’m going to do this my way.
I was born in 1995, meaning that I’m part of the ‘in-between’ generation, for whom the world changed overnight. One day, I was out playing hide and seek and the other, I had a phone in my hand. That’s not necessarily a bad thing, though. I think the internet is the greatest thing that ever happened to us—the Congress that’s listening to Mark Zuckerberg testify right now would be a bit skeptical about the claim, but that doesn’t really change the fact that global media was irrevocably transformed the moment we put phones into everyone’s pockets, including mine.
I live on the internet. It’s where I get my news, my music, my connections, my memes, and my fanfiction from. I have a full-time job as a student at the University of Westminster (my work can be found in the Portfolio section of this website), and a part-time one as a writer about all things music. I tend to lean—as will be evident through the Published In and Features section on this website—towards East Asian Cinema and music, particularly K-pop.
When I'm not listening to what is probably an unhealthy amount of K-pop, I am coding.
I moved to the UK in September 2017 for my Masters degree. Before that, I was working in Native Advertising at the Indian news and entertainment website, ScoopWhoop. In my year and a half of being employed at ScoopWhoop, I authored over 100 articles and wrote scripts for videos.
Since moving to the UK, I’ve interned at Dazed Digital, and will start another work placement at The Guardian’s National News Desk in April 2018.
If you want to talk about how great EXO-CBX's new album is or how Mamamoo is the sound of future girl-groups in K-pop, my Twitter account is here.

We were very happy having our holiday planned out for us, with some input from us. We really had little idea of where to visit in the time we had, so the suggestions and the bookings done were great! The itinerary listing out suggested stops on the way was very helpful and enhanced our visit. Thanks for all the organisation!
Indulgence Tours organized the trip of a lifetime for us! Our self drive tour was seemlessly put together, eliminating the stress of trying to organizing everything ourselves. We made great use of the personalized suggestions of attractions along the way allowing us to take full advantage of the time we had. We would recommend Indulgence Tours for anyone looking to explore New Zealand for the first time, but not knowing where to start! We’ll definitely be talking about this holiday for a long time!
Without the help and guidance of Indulgence Tours in NZ and Sydney we would have never stayed in such nice places or seen as much as we did. Ben was so helpful whenever we had a glitch such as loosing an ipad or a change in our scheduled activities. The driving routes were planned as a beautiful drive through some of the most incredible scenery that New Zealand has to offer. Many thanks Ben. We loved our trip.
Ben provides a service that makes it easier to plan and book your holiday. New Zealand has so much to offer his insight makes your holiday work better for the family.

Near Record High Temps Today - Cooler This Weekend.
Map Are Courtesy Of The Midland NWS Office.
Map Are Courtesy Of The Lubbock NWS Office.
Welcome to November, which by the way is typically one of our driest months of the year here in the southeastern plains of New Mexico. November is also the month when we leave the warmer temps of early fall behind. But before we do this, we will see near record highs across the local area today ahead of an approaching weak cold front. Highs today should be in the low 80's.
There is a slight chance that a few isolated rain showers and thunderstorms may pop up over the area Saturday as the front approaches from the north. Our overall chances of getting wet are low though, generally around 10%. Our highs Saturday and Sunday will cool down into the low-mid 70's. Monday's highs will be in the upper 70's.
Long Term Normal High - Low Temps.
Next Storm In About A Week.
00Z/6 PM MST GFS 500 MB Forecast.
Valid At 5 AM MST Sunday Nov 11, 2012.
00Z/6 PM MST GFS Temp Forecast.
Valid At 5 PM MST Sunday Nov 11, 2012.
A powerful storm may sweep across the Rockies and into the central plains in about a week. This storm has the potential to produce snow over the higher mountains of New Mexico. If the current forecast track trends continue, then it looks more like a wind bag for the southeastern plains of New Mexico next weekend, with very warm temps ahead of the storm next week.

I have updated the new release 2.10. And it works better in VR mode now!
1. What’s the different between “walking” and “sitting or standing” in enter VR mode puzzle.
2. When I run the “Industrial Robot” demo, gaze-based reticle pointer works.But the HTC vive’s controller dos not recognized. It’s the same in a new project with Legacy VR mode.
What’s the different between “walking” and “sitting or standing” in enter VR mode puzzle.
According to the specification, these are supposed to setup different controls – moving or stationary. In the current browsers’ experimental implementation there is no difference.
But the HTC vive’s controller dos not recognized.
It should create a virtual ray (line) for a controller. Only one ray is supported. Can you see it?

and i am using HTC vive pro in firefox brower.
Firefox is not working with controllers for some reason that we don’t understand. Please use Chrome with HTC Vive if you want to use the controllers.

Algebra IIH (High School). – 120 hours. An honors math course may follow the same or similar general topics as a non-honors math course of the same title, but the course is a different course due to the pace, sequence and depth of contents. Honors math courses proceed at a swifter pace and expect a greater depth of understanding. Algebra II Honors is a course that expands on the topics of Algebra I and provides further development of the concept of a function. Topics include: (1) relations, functions, equations and inequalities; (2) conic sections; (3) polynomials; (4) data analysis; (5) logarithmic and exponential functions; (6) sequences and series; (7) counting principles and probability; and (8) trigonometry.
Math 8. – 120 hours. The overall goal of this course is to help students develop sound mathematical habits. A strong emphasis is placed on the relationships between variables. The students will study linear, exponential and inverse relationships through experiences with tables, graphs, equations and real-life situations. Other topics to be explored are the Pythagorean Theorem, data and statistics, and symbolic reasoning. This course will utilize technology, especially the graphics calculator. Purchase of a TI-84 Plus calculator is required. If a student is unable to obtain the required calculator, the parent may contact the OJH Office for assistance. To enroll in this course prior to completion of 8th grade, a student must have earned an ‘A’ during each semester of Math 7 and must have teacher recommendation.
120-Hour Courses: June 3 - July 12, 8:00 a.m. - 12:15 p.m.

From a gameplay point of view, Portal is simply one of the best and deeply though out games I have ever played in my life. The puzzles are at times maddeningly difficult, but never impossible. Although Portal is now 5 years old, the graphics are still nice and run fluidly even on older machines. Now for the problems. In the later levels, there are turrets that shoot at you, with moderately realistic blood splashing onto walls behind you. Turrets are also heart-breakingly adorable, and they make you love them even though they want to kill you. The main enemy of the game (GLaDOS) constantly taunts you with messages meaning to hurt you, and may upset younger players. Nevertheless, she is an excellent character and is undoubtedly one of the best video game characters of all time despite the fact that she is a megalomaniac who has wrested control over a science facility. A final problem is the last level, where the player is running through the 'behind the scenes' of the facility. The environments are at times scary and disturbing, that unsettles even me. Portal's fantastic puzzles create an excellent challenge for teens and above, but the mild violence and negative themes makes it unsuitable for pre teens.
The word h-ll is used once during the game, and some of GLaDOS' s taunts can get pretty-- ehh.... but most kids couldn't understand that until they're ready for it anyway. One thing I would like to point out is that the "violence against inanimate objects" is garbage. Really. The cube you are forced to "incinerate" isn't actually destroyed by the fire- only charred.
Valve Software's hit title Portal is nothing short of the best. The game forces you to think outside of the box to solve puzzles using a device that creates two connected wormholes in walls, celings, and floors. Physics are constanly being used in new and inventive ways. For a game with not much story, it does get quite dark and intense towards the end. The game's overseer, GLaDOS, tries to kill the player in a variety of ways, only one of which shows blood. However, the game does bring forth a message about not giving up and persevering to get to your goal.
One of the Best Games Around!
Might be too scary and bloody for younger tweens.
This is a great game, I love it! I rate it iffy for 12+ though because the blood is graphic and realistic and some parts of the game can be really dark and creepy, and useually funny as well. In one level, you can find this off to the side room with "THE CAKE IS A LIE" written over and over again in blood on the wall.
Very good puzzler. It's not really creepy, just the evil computer, who is more funny than creepy, though mist of the humor is rather dark. Exaggerated blood when shot by turrets, but this does not happen often, except in testchamber 16.
Fun game for anyone who loves puzzles and humor.
The only reason this game is 6+up is because the younger kids might get confused and become bored. The dark humor mentioned in other reviews will fly right over younger children's heads. It's a good game for adults or younger children.
This is my all-time favorite game, and includes mild violence and minimal blood. If you kill the turrets, they merely say, "Deactivating". The game is creepy, but that shouldn't really be a factor for buying the game. Just don't watch the conspiracy videos about the companion cube (You'll understand if you play Level 17). Also, the official review here on Common Sense Media says that humans are absent and have come to a disturbing end, but I disagree. The character you control is trapped in a mysterious science facility, and you only see a glimpse of the outside world in the post credits scene after you beat the boss, so there is likely humans everywhere, just not in the science facility with you.
Portal has gotten tons of praise, and as such, is one of the greatest puzzle games that you can get. The game does have some creepy aspects to it that may startle some young children and some tweens, such as "HELP" written in blood, but other than that it isn't that bad. Many reviews that will be found will state that "It's too short," which it is(the game has only 20 levels and can be beaten in one-two hours) but it has bonus maps and extras when you play through the game. I've beaten portal 3 times now, yet every time is different, for it is one of the greatest puzzle games made.
The triple A puzzler. The brain twisting math homework of a video game. Plus its REALLY fun. Violence is extremely limeted to bullet shooting robots and a little blood splatters on walls. Mainly this game is just difficult. I started playing when I was 9. I had to take long breaks between puzzles to keep from breaking down. Let me tell you, before letting anyone play this make sure you have bookmarked a walkthrough.
The only problom with this game is GLaDOS. She trys to kill you.
Really fun, great game, played for several hours. Difficult yet fun puzzles, took me a while to complete. Nothing inappropriate, just blood that can be seen on the walls and floor when you are injured.
I love this game. It is educational, fun, safe and easy to play. The aim of the game is to create portals to solve increasingly difficult puzzles. I haveo finished the game and was fun and it's good because it requires logic and thought. Young children might find GLaDOS a bit creepy but definitely on for 11 year olds and up.

13/04/2019: Preguntado si este restaurante había sido tomado desde nuestra última visita ya que definitivamente no es la misma calidad / presentación de comida. Teníamos costillas con glaseado de barbacoa JB. Eran lo suficientemente tiernos, pero obviamente no estaban marinados en la barbacoa, así que eran sosos. Vinieron en un plato cubierto con una salsa oscura que lo estropeó y definitivamente no era una barbacoa. Las patatas fritas eran patatas fritas congeladas y la ensalada de lado pobre sin aderezo.
14/04/2019: I was recommended this place, however it was seriously disappointing, the tables were sticky, the toilets were dirty, in general a grubby greasy cafe, the breakfast wasn’t good the eggs were crispy and stuck together, there’s definitely better places to eat!
13/04/2019: In with two friends on Saturday 6th April for dinner. Food is very good but the table next to us had a very large back labrador dog on a lead. Several times they had to pull the dog back from trying to get to our table for the food. Cannot understand why a restaurant allows dogs in! If I want to eat beside dogs then I will for for a picnic in a park!
13/01/2019: Visited on a Monday night. Ordered 2 T bone steaks medium rare. They were nothing special either taste wise or to eat. Rather tough, not easy to cut or eat and taste wise --very little . At £28 a steak .. not what you'd expect ..sorry..expected better.
11/01/2019: A wonderful steak house, from origins in Grassmarket in the 60's, to current location near Bo'ness. Over this period, Anne and family have made this the only place to go for magnificent beef. Not sure if the restaurant still knows the animals by name, but food and service remain outstanding.
09/04/2019: Huge choice of food on menu. Took ages to choose as so many options. Food took a long time to arrive even although restaurant wasn't that busy. Food portions were good though quality and presentation could have been better. Two or three other venues I would visit before returning here.
16/04/2019: Was here for a lunch on sunday. Main was great and received very promptly.. and as were both brownies for desert. Server was amazing, very attentive and polite, think her name was hannah. Will definitely be back, was overall a really good meal.
13/04/2019: Lovely food, welcoming friendly staff, cosy restaurant. We'll recommend and reasonably priced. Will be back again.
17/04/2019: Two couples for a relaxing Sunday tea and a few drinks. Gary and his colleagues hit the mark once again. 4 different meals all hot and tasty. Service was excellent and prices are reasonable.
17/04/2019: Nos, nem jutottunk el odáig, hogy étkezzünk az étteremben. Bár a szállásadónk ajánlotta a helyet, nem volt szíves vendéglátásban részünk. Az étterembe belépve a bárpulthoz mentünk, ahol a magas, vékony, lilásra/pirosra festett hajú pultos srác konkrétan átnézett rajtunk, mintha ott sem lennénk. Egy darabig várakoztunk, majd miután sem ő, sem más nem jött a közelbe sem (a teltháznak a közelében sem volt a hely!), távoztunk. Ahol ennyi, ráadásul egyértelműen magasabbra értékelt hely van sétatávolságra, nem hiszem, hogy egy étterem megengedheti magának ezt a stílust. Nem véletlen, hogy itt is csak 3,5-esre értékelték és a kiszolgálást panaszolták az emberek, és az sem, hogy máshol alig lehet asztalt kapni. Nem sajnálom, hogy nem itt vacsoráztunk.
24/03/2019: We stopped her for unplanned lunch on a Sunday. The food was really nice, we shared haggis nachos and the royal salad with hot smoked salmon, both were delicious and fresh.
28/12/2018: I am reminded why I returned here when our meals were delivered as the food was beautifully presented and was delicious. However, I’m continually disappointed with how unprofessional the serving staff are. They are either all huddled at the bar gossiping or no where to be seen. I am surprised the management have not done something proactive to rectify the abysmal service, rude staff and the overall apathetic attitude to customers. It feels like you are a nuisance and the serving staff cannot wait to get you out of the door.
04/10/2018: Cheap and cheerful food. Our 5 year old twins enjoy it here. Some good items on the menu too. Would recommend.
31/03/2019: While shopping in Stirling with my teenage grandaughter we decided to try this place for lunch. Very friendly staff and excellent service, but I thought the food was rather over priced for what it is. Although the food was nice I did not think the quality justified the price. We both had a Cajun chicken wrap which came with fries and a rather odd looking purple coleslaw. My grandaughter had a lemonade and myself a coffee which brought our bill to just under £30. I thought for the price we should have found the food better than just nice. I also thought the rather extensive climb upstairs to use the bathroom should only be tackled by fit and able individuals. All in all I don’t think I would return if ever in Stirling again.
29/03/2019: Myself and my partner were travelling home and decided to stop off here for something to eat.
16/04/2019: Went back to frankie and bennys after a while and was not disappointed,service was great,food good and good price,my grandkids loved it especially the free slime and balloon,will deffo be back and would highly recommend.
18/02/2019: Came in here with my other half and two kids, by 35 mins we still hadn’t had a drinks order taken, kids were agitated as they were looking forward to the pancakes with chocolate! 3 families came in after us and had all given their orders, 1 even had their food. The kids are 4 and 8 n as you can imagine by now we’re getting hungry! Stood up to leave n pack the kids stuff n the waitress n manager looked over still no one came near... bad people skills and damn right disrespectful! I assure you I will not be back.
12/06/2017: Llegamos para cenar con altas expectativas al haber comido aquí antes y tener una cena excepcional.
09/06/2017: Went for afternoon tea and was disappointed. Sandwiches were dry and cakes the same. Lovely view but disappointing tea.
