This week we have Nathan, the editor.
Moreover I declare to you that the LORD will build you a house. 11 When your days are fulfilled to go to be with your ancestors, I will raise up your offspring after you, one of your own sons, and I will establish his kingdom. 12 He shall build a house for me, and I will establish his throne forever. 13 I will be a father to him, and he shall be a son to me. I will not take my steadfast love from him, as I took it from him who was before you, 14 but I will confirm him in my house and in my kingdom forever, and his throne shall be established forever. 15 In accordance with all these words and all this vision, Nathan spoke to David.
Have you ever heard of a “yes” man or woman? It’s a thing. Merriam Webster defines it this way, “a person who agrees with everything that is said; especially: one who endorses or supports without criticism every opinion or proposal of an associate or superior.” You will meet “yes” men all the time in the workplace. Have you ever heard of a celebrity out of control because they’ve surrounded themselves with no one that ever tells them no? I can name all sorts of actors/singers/entertainers that died tragically because they were surrounded by people on the pay roll. They received no unbiased opinions, because the machine around them depended on their celebrity for their livelihood. We can give countless examples of these behaviors…..Hello, Britney shaving her head or Justin Bieber in his latest trouble or need I even say Lindsay Lohan without images flashing through your head?
They needed someone to be “real” with them or keep them grounded. They needed an editor, like Nathan. Nathan spoke truth to power. Who’s not afraid to call you into account for your actions? Who’s not afraid to get under your skin? Who’s not afraid to gently, but firmly say that you’re acting like a jerk? That’s your Nathan.
A Nathan reveals, pulls back the curtain, to who you truly are. Recently I went on a facebook posting rampage, where I watched the movie The Legend of Bagger Vance. In the movie Bagger played by Will Smith, says, “Inside each and every one of us is one true authentic swing. Something that we were born with. Something that’s ours and ours alone. Something that can’t be taught to you or learned. Something that got to be remembered. Over time the world can rob us of that swing. It can be buried inside us in the woulda, coulda, shoulda’s. Some people forget what their swing was like.” A Nathan’s not afraid of calling you out because he can see through the layers to YOU. And the Nathan’s in your life, care about and love you, but they’re not about to let you get away with anything, just like Bagger Vance.
Nathan figured prominently in David’s life 3 times. At 3 critical junctures. In the text for today, 2 Samuel 7, David had just finished building his palace. He had been greatly blessed by God and decided that the ark of the covenant, which was still in a tent, needed a permanent home. He consulted with Nathan who agreed at first, but as you hear in the passage, Nathan changed his mind because it was not what God wanted. Nathan also said some good things to David – that David’s name would be great, his people would have peace, his son would build a “House for my name,” the throne and kingdom of David and his son would be established forever, and what would later become the Davidic Covenant – that Jesus would be in the lineage of David. You may be thinking that’s not gutsy speaking truth to power, he just told him not to build a church, and he said several good things after that. Well in 2 Samuel 12, David had recently committed adultery with Bathsheba and had arranged the death of her husband Uriah. Nathan was sent to David by the Lord with a parable – a poor man had one lamb, a rich man had great flocks of sheep – a traveler came to the rich man who prepared a meal for him – the rich man took the lamb from the poor man rather than use one of his own for the meal. David heard the story and said to Nathan, “As surely as the Lord lives, the man who did this deserves to die!” [vs5] Then Nathan said to David, “You are the man!” [vs7] Awkward.
David repented of his sin, and the Lord forgave him – but the consequences of his sin then meant that the child born to Bathsheba did in fact die. The sign, however, of forgiveness was that David and Bathsheba had another son, Solomon, the inheritor of the promise.
The third time doesn’t have the same sting as the Bathsheba story, but it’s important nonetheless. It happens in 1 Kings 1 right at the end of David’s life. God had made it clear that Solomon would inherit the throne from his father – when another of David’s sons, Adonijah, tried to usurp the throne, Nathan supported David rather than Adonijah. He informed Bathsheba of the plot and advised her on how to ensure the right successor. Nathan was called in by David and told to anoint Solomon king – this he did and it was proclaimed to the people.
An editor works tirelessly so that you can be the best that you can be.
How many times do we see the editors of our lives as our biggest critics? How many times do we see the ink all in red and think that we’re not good enough? How many times do we take personally what we see as criticism but those that love us have said it to make us better?
As anyone who has ever written some words on a piece of paper, it’s not always pleasant or fun to get edited. The English major in me, cringes at the thought of taking my paper to the writing center and for them to pull out the fine tooth comb or the magnifying glass to make corrections. It’s like they see my soul stripped bare and the vulnerability is apparent. They see me. In all of my weaknesses, in all of my vulnerabilities, in all of the places I would rather not see – they see me.
So prayerfully consider the Nathans in your life. You don’t want to pick a person that is critical for critical’s sake, that is destructive to your world, or does not care about your well-being. So be discerning as you notice the people in your life that make you better, aren’t afraid to give you a reality check when the situation calls for it, and do so in love.
But as you notice the Nathans in your life they have some tell-tale signs. The first is they get under your skin. They look at the inner workings of your life and are not afraid to call BS. An English teacher in high school taught me the acronym meant Be Specific.
My brother Josh just happens to be a Nathan in my life. You’ll meet him on fall retreat because he’s going to be the speaker. He’s not afraid to call me on the carpet when he thinks I’m not being my most Godly. But I trust him implicitly. I don’t always like what he says. I don’t always agree with what he says. But 9 times out of 10 he has a point. He has perspective on my life. Even when I don’t see it. Even when I can’t see it. He has a way of breaking through. It may take a couple of days, of inner debate within myself, to see truth in his observational interruptions, but I trust him. So I listen to him. Because I know he’s watching out for me and just wants me to be the best that I can be.
So I’m glad that Len Sweet writes, “Everybody needs a Nathan. Even Nathan needs a Nathan.” Even Josh needs a Nathan in his life.
So open your eyes to the Nathan’s of your life. Your Nathan’s may easily come to mind. They may not. But we all need them. Oprah is attempting to be Lindsay Lohan’s, but that is another story and another sermon.
Do you know what David named his son? That’s right. Nathan. And that’s the line through which Jesus came through Mary’s side. You see, the Nathan’s of your life will have a big Godly impact in your life if you will let them. May it be so.
Holy and gracious God, may we be ever on the look out for the Nathan’s in our life. That they call us into account and are willing to ask the hard questions. May you set our feet on right paths and may we walk in your ways. Thank you that we were fearfully and wonderfully made and we can rest in the promise that you will never leave us or forsake us. May you give us wisdom as we discern answers to questions that seemingly have no answers. May you give us your peace that transcends all understanding, when we wrestle or need your comfort. May you give us your grace that we may know your more fully and as we continue in your sanctifying grace to be the person you created us to be. In Jesus’ name I pray. We pray now as you taught your disciples to pray….

Maria Droste zu Vischering was born in a German palace, the daughter of a count, and educated by private tutors and in the finest schools. Her life was comfortable and pleasant. Maria was as comfortable in castles as she was in open fields, where, as a girl, she’d run and hike until her fine clothes were mud-spattered and torn.
But Maria was always most comfortable among the poor, the needy, and the vulnerable. It was among them that she found Jesus Christ. And, in 1888, volunteering with poor women in a German hospital, Jesus called her to religious life. Maria heard the Lord say “you shall be the wife of my heart.” Shortly thereafter, she entered the Sisters of the Good Shepherd.
She was given the religious name Sister Maria of the Divine Heart, and assigned to work with poor girls in need of love. Eventually, she was sent to Portugal, to work among poor families. And as she worked among the poor, Sister Maria became ever close to divine love—to the Sacred Heart of Jesus Christ.
Sister Maria discovered that the sacrificial love of the Sacred Heart was enough to transform even hardened, broken, suffering human hearts. She knew that the merciful love of God could transform the world. But she was surprised when, in the midst of prayer, the Lord told her to write to Pope Leo XIII, and to ask him that the whole world be consecrated to the Sacred Heart.
She wrote to the Holy Father in 1898, asking him to consecrate the world to Christ’s sacred heart. The pope did not respond. And so she wrote again, with words the Lord had given her. She told the Holy Father that she knew he had been ill—but that the Lord would care for him. She told him that he would live long enough to consecrate the world to the Sacred Heart of Jesus.
Sister Maria Drochte was a simple religious sister. Her life was devoted to prayer, and to sacrifice. In sacrifice, she discovered the merciful heart of Christ. In suffering, she discovered redemption. And in the Sacred Heart of Jesus, she discovered a love that transformed hearts, transformed families, and would transform the world. On June 27th, the Solemnity of the Sacred Heart, and everyday, may we offer our lives in sacrifice as we love the Sacred Heart of Jesus.

The People's Bank of China, the central bank, will issue several policies to facilitate opening-up of the financial sector in Shanghai in line with the plans to transform the city into an international financial center, a top official said on Thursday.
Speaking at the 10th Lujiazui Forum in Shanghai, PBOC Governor Yi Gang said that the central bank will help Shanghai develop innovative and trial cross-border renminbi businesses and products to advance the internationalization of the Chinese currency. To that end, Shanghai should make full use of its renminbi pricing settlement function of large commodities so that it can give financing support to the Belt and Road Initiative, said Yi.
Besides, Shanghai will be given the priority to start reforms in foreign exchange management. The function of free trade accounts at the China (Shanghai) Pilot Free Trade Zone should be further explored to promote capital account convertibility, he said.
Yi also reiterated that Shanghai has a significant role to play in China's debt, currency and foreign exchange markets. Therefore, efforts should be made to enhance the convenience and efficiency of transactions, perfect the legal and market environment, and strengthen infrastructure such as transaction trusteeship and clearance in Shanghai.
"A large number of foreign banks, securities firms, insurance companies and investment banks consider Shanghai as a key destination in their global plans. In this sense, China's recently announced opening-up in the financial sector such as lifting the limits on foreign ownership in these institutions and on the restrictions on their business licenses will have a profound influence," he said.
Shanghai rolled out its financial opening-up policies in mid-May in fields including banking, securities, insurance, financial markets and free trade accounts. The opening-up has also touched upon policies for bank-card clearing institutions and nonbank payment institutions.
So far, the municipal government has received 23 application projects in banking, securities and insurance since the release of opening-up policies. Companies and institutions in developed markets such as the United Kingdom, Germany, France and Japan have shown their interest in the opening-up policies. Interest has also been received from emerging markets such as Jordan and Morocco.
Yi also applauded Shanghai for its leading position nationwide in terms of research and innovation in financial technologies, ably demonstrated by the companies and institutions. As the municipal government is attaching greater importance to this sector, the city is sure to see huge room for future development, he said.
So far, over 1,500 licensed financial institutions have registered in the city, among which 30 percent are foreign institutions. The city is home to 360,000 financial industry practitioners. The annual transaction volume in the financial market exceeded 1,400 trillion yuan ($219 trillion) last year.

Vietnam’s shrimp export value to the U.S. rose 17 percent year on year.
The Ministry of Industry and Trade of Vietnam on July 18 signed an agreement with the U.S. Department of Commerce (DOC) and the U.S. Trade Representative (USTR) on anti-dumping duties on imported Vietnamese shrimp, the Vietnamplus reported Tuesday.
The deal was reached to settle two World Trade Organization (WTO) disputes, in which Vietnam sued the U.S. for violating WTO regulations by imposing anti-dumping duties on Vietnamese shrimp.
Previously on May 20, DOC had reviewed prior administrative determinations to bring those decisions into compliance with the WTO dispute findings. As a result, leading Vietnamese exporter of frozen warmwater shrimp, Minh Phu Seafood Corporation, will no longer be subject to the antidumping duty order. Certain domestic litigation will also be resolved and duty deposits will be refunded to Minh Phu, which is estimated at several million U.S. dollars.
Vietnam’s shipment value of shrimp to the U.S. during January-May reached $249.3 million, rising 17.4 percent from the same period in 2015, according to data from Vietnam Association of Seafood Exporters and Producers (VASEP).
Should the Vietnamese government invest in start-ups?

It seems that everywhere you turn, someone is talking about peer support, and the reason is simple: it works!
PSS has just completed a survey of participant outcomes in our Depression Recovery Groups (DRG) service—and I’ll share the results in a moment—but first let’s go back a few years. A pioneering 2008 peer support program based in New York resulted in a remarkable 71% reduction in hospital readmission, and follow-up studies of programs in Wisconsin and Tennessee found that peer support reduced days of hospitalization 44% and 73%, respectively.
These programs all featured in-person services that provided a wide variety of assistance as needed. Peer bridgers (as they were called in the New York program) helped to open bank accounts, learn bus routes, shop for groceries, and more, all with the goal of speeding recovery by helping the individual better integrate with society.
Here at PSS we specialize in online peer support, built on web conferencing. We don’t have the opportunity to provide the kind of extensive in-person support that these highly successful programs did, so we expected that our outcomes would be correspondingly more modest.
We were wrong. They were just as strong as the in-person outcomes.
Our participants reported a 69% drop in hospital readmission after attending DRG, which is very similar to the 71% drop from the New York program. The other outcomes we measured—emergency room use, urgent care treatment, physician treatment, and levels of depression—all showed 20-50% improvement as well.
We’ll publish more extensive results soon, but we do have a few thoughts about why online peer groups performed as well as in-person peer support.
First, we select highly skilled Certified Peer Specialists to be group leaders, we train them thoroughly, and we back them up with clinical supervision and anonymous post-session feedback.
Second, we structure each meeting to include evidence-based self-help content and materials, and reinforce the content with open discussion.
Finally, we offer our participants anonymous post-meeting feedback, which we use to improve our performance at every level.
We believe our focus on giving participants the tools they need to help themselves recover—in a structured, consistent environment—is what has led to the successful outcomes we see.

A fisherman in the Philippines has kept what might be the largest natural pearl ever found hidden in his home for more than 10 years.
The enormous pearl is 30cm wide (1ft), 67cm long (2.2ft) and weighs 34kg (75lb). If it is confirmed to have formed within a giant clam, as has been reported, it would likely be valued in excess of US$100m.
According a report in the local Palawan News, a man from Puerto Princesa, on Palawan Island, found it more than a decade ago while out fishing. His boat’s anchor caught on the giant clam and he had to swim down to dislodge it.
He was not aware of its potential value but kept it as a good luck charm.
When he came to move to another part of the province, he entrusted it to his aunt, Aileen Cynthia Maggay-Amurao, who works in local government as a tourism officer.
“That’s why he brought it to me, since it’s quite heavy,” she told the Guardian.
With his permission, she offered the pearl to the mayor, Lucilo R Bayon, to serve as new tourist attraction of city. It is now on display in the atrium of the New Green City Hall in Puerto Princesa.
Maggay-Amurao told the Guardian that she was now seeking help from experts to certify the pearl’s authenticity.
The man was her nephew, and had kept it under his bed as a lucky charm, she said.
She made a call on Facebook for experts’ help in confirming the pearl’s authenticity.
“The Puerto Princesa City would likely earn another prestigious title and a record breaker for having the world’s biggest natural giant pearl from a giant clam (34 kilograms) after being certified for its authenticity,” she wrote. “Need help from gemologists!
She encouraged all residents of Puerto Princesa, Palawan, and Filipinos around the globe to raise awareness of the potential record-breaker. The post was shared thousands of times.
If it is found to be real, the pearl is significantly larger than the current record-holder, which as Maggay-Amurao noted was also from Palawan. A local diver from Brooke’s Point in Palawan recovered what is now known as the Pearl of Lao Tzu, weighing 6.4kg, in 1939.
In 2003 it was valued at $93m by Michael “Buzz” Steenrod, a gemologist based in Colorado Springs.

We got an exclusive preview of the Range Rover Velar….
Ahead of its official launch, scheduled for October 2017, we were given the opportunity to take part in an exclusive media drive opportunity with the new Range Rover Velar at the South African Motoring Experience.
The Range Rover Velar is another one of Jaguar Land Rover’s most anticipated model launches this year, says Marketing Director, Lisa Mallet. When myself and nine other motoring journos gathered near the pit lane for its reveal, our eyes were glued to the covered Velar that soon made its glowing appearance, and boy, were we thrilled at what we saw. “It’s just so pretty!” I couldn’t help but say out loud!
The new Velar’s exterior design is minimalistic and elegant. Although the car appeared to be a bit smaller than I expected after seeing various pics and video footage prior to its reveal, that wasn’t the case once I was sitting inside (see below for my thoughts on its interior). Its compelling exterior gives the it a more futuristic sort of look with cleverly executed details all around, such as integrated and deployable flush door handles, sleek lower body features and ultra slim LED head and tail lamps, to name a few.
The Velar is aimed at stylish people with a taste for premium SUVs that shine on the road. Its premium theme continues inside with endless lush finishes like extra soft leather all around the cabin (doors, top of the dashboard, steering wheel etc,) a dual screen system and interactive driver display, and an 825-watt Meridian Surround audio system, on the top-of-the-range HSE R-Dynamic. Once in the driver’s seat, I got to really experience just how spacious (and ridiculously comfy) the new Velar is. This trim level is also fitted with an optional rear infotainment system to keep the passengers sitting in the back seats entertained on those long commutes or family road trips.
Nifty storage compartments of different shapes and sizes are found all over the Velar, and even accommodate those sitting at the back. Connections to the infotainment system and USB ports, as well as read climate control, will also come in handy for rear passengers. Sitting at the back still offers roominess with ample leg and headroom for even the tallest of passengers.
The Velar gets an automated tailgate and if you’re worried about the height of the boot base when lifting heavy things in and out of it, the car’s air suspension can also be both lowered and lifted to make things easier.
The Range Rover’s flagship Velar, the R-Dynamic HSE, is fitted with a 3,0-litre supercharged V6 engine that produces 280 kW of power and a whopping 450 N.m of torque. It’s mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission and All-Wheel Drive, making drivability on different terrains super easy and pleasant to handle. It’s based on the same chassis as the Jaguar F-Pace, but feels completely different…more like a Range Rover should, ready for any terrain, with a refined and poised drive quality.
With a claimed sprint from 0-100 km/h in just 5,7 seconds and a top speed limited to 250 km/h, we got to experience what the new Velar feels like to drive on Kyalami’s racetrack.
Superior and sporty! These were my initial feelings when behind the wheel of the new Velar. Even if a racetrack is not the place you would usually find an SUV, it still managed to highlight the Velar’s responsiveness and refinement. Different suspension settings to suit your environment can be selected via the lower screen just above the gear selection’s rotary dial and you’re good to go! It’s super quiet on the road even with its faint V6 growl when you put your foot down. With all the tech inside the cabin, sitting behind the steering wheel is a really exciting place to be. In fact, I felt like I was about to take off in celebrity’s private jet!
The Velar will be available with a choice of petrol and diesel engines and we’ll have more details on this after its official launch in South Africa next month (mid-October 2017), but for now we can tell you that pricing for the new Range Rover Velar will start at R947 700. Start saving now!
The more I got to experience the new Velar, the more attached I became to it. I was constantly surprised by the discovery of each new functionality and, by the end of the day, I was convinced that Jaguar Land Rover had managed to make another SUV into something golden, with all its compelling and ultra stylish features.

They always end up friending it up with other females and leaving me in the dirt of isolation. But generally it means interest and that's the point.
He did a few legwork and then walked away. Which can also give him the extra confidence he needs to start a conversation with you. Have you noted that most people look away when thinking or when they are hesitant? Intense eye contact does not always indicate negative connotations. For instance, if you want a female friend to reveal all her secrets, eye contact is good: Female speakers disclosed more personal information about themselves to listeners who gazed. What do his eyes say about his intent? One of the first signs of arousal is.
Try it yourself and you will see the difference. You can always follow the usual advice and just ask her about it, but if you are anyhow like me, this is easier being told than actually done. Women are more receptive to friendly guys. If someone seems angry at you, they may be holding your eyes to make a point. You can tell the difference.
Moreover, why is your guy giving an intense eye contact even though there is no proper reason? He Is Not Actually Paying Attention Have you ever started daydreaming and forgotten where you were? Many women simply confuse some simple gazes as making an eye contact. You know he is in love when you wake up to find him staring at you with a fairy tale smile or as if he is high on something. Your eyes say a lot about your emotional state. There's this guy I know I would classify him as a casual acquaintance - we see each other somewhat regularly but don't really talk that much who I admittedly do think is nice to look at, and almost every time we meet, we would lock eyes for what seems like forever. If a guy wants you, he will steal constant glances more often. An intense eye contact from a guy is a strong eye contact done by him lasting for at least more than 2-3 seconds. By and large, the male subjects preferred the woman with the larger pupils.
Just normal every day eye contact. A guy may catch your attention with a mysterious stare, but then he shifts his eyes as soon as your eyes meet his. And, when he sees the sign of interest in you too, he gets satisfied and continues showing his interest. Ever since I was a little girl, I was always watching people. Blue is generally voted the most attractive eye color, which probably reflects its relative scarcity in the population.
Create attraction with confident eye contact Our eyes express our emotional state. I found this almost unspeakably attractive. It may have just brought back old feelings for a little bit. It's a deep, soft connection that you two are sharing even if you don't realize it. I work at a place that employs a lot of younger folks and the men of all ages tend to show interest in me, which usually leaves me stunned. This usually is a result of how they make eye contact. I met him this week and at the start of the week he sat across from me in the classroom so that I was in his sight of vision.
What Does Intense Eye Contact Mean Coming From An Older Woman?
However, you should never mistake intense eye contact for staring. There's a guy I lock eyes with very often. You are attractive, and you have your proof whenever you catch someone staring at you, since stares are always done in lengthy amounts of time. I'm sure that if you got the chance to look into your crushes eyes, you'd feel amazing and excited. In case you haven't figured yet, that is a good sign. Since there was a party after, there was a buffet so i got foodies… I passed by him and he was looking back but then slightly rolled his eyes on me… After like 20 mins… of food eating… I walked to the locker to get some things… He was apparently there fixing his stuffs… I saw him first so pretended that I did not see him and just continued on my with fixing. And, If he is your crush, This is when butterflies start to fly in your stomach.
What does a guy possibly think when a girl consistently makes eye contact with him without smiling? In a country like France, however, a stranger may feel quite free to look at someone he is interested in and try to acknowledge his interest by making eye contact. Men gave more help to a male experimenter who did not gaze at them. Do you think that there was ever a chance…if so… What should I do? Oh I felt like dying! He was not in a good mood I bet and was fixing his barbel like he was annoyed or something. Of everything that was going on in her head and everything else going on around her she was struck by you and you have momentarily shifted her focus. It is a clear sign he has lost it and what he needs is a psychological help and not your love exactly. So, what does intense eye contact mean in this case? The following day, all of that was not important anymore.
The other way to show you are a friendly guy is to smile with your eyes. If you make a positive impression on a guy, he will stare at you consciously and perhaps smile at you. It is usually better to go the other way around. My question is that, I am quite around guys so when I catch him staring at me I always break the stare first because I am too shy to maintain. And this is why eye contact and attraction are so strongly connected.
So now, whenever we walk past each other, we just smile and move on. This is when you give her more and more eye contact. Finally get the skills to level up your career, relationships, and confidence in just 5 days. It means he can do anything just to keep you by his side and that makes him seem desperate. Not so many people can hold eye contact for long with strangers.

The Pinnacles is a dive site 5km offshore situated in unpredictable current conditions but always with loads of fish.
Dive site the Pinnacles is best dived during summer when the reef comes alive. You will spot shoals of game fish, Pickhandle Barracuda, King Mackerel, Ignobilis Kingfish, and Wahoo to name just a few. They congregate on the reef attracting the different shark species, such as the Bull Shark, the Scalloped Hammerhead Shark, the Dusky and occasionally the Tiger Shark.
There are no pinnacles as such but there are two ledges with an old anchor and chain draped along the inshore one. There are big boulders between both ledges and you can see the odd Honey Combed Moray Eel, schooling Bannerfish, Potato Bass, Goldies etc. In the mid water you can be sure to see Manta Ray, Spotted Eagle Ray and maybe even a Sailfish or two. Although this kind of activity is normal for the Pinnacles, it can be very unpredictable and very quiet on other days. Because this reef is 5 km out to sea the currents and the visibility can be very different to the inshore reefs.

Thank you GQ Magazine for the pictures. And thank you Mr. & Mrs. Panetierre for making Hayden. You are the real Heroes and have earned the thanks of a grateful nation.
Okay, it's not the world's most pressing concern. but just because something isn't Darfur crisis bad, or even Dane Cook in another movie bad, doesn't mean it shouldn't be addressed.
You know how you're watching, say, The Office, and the segment ends and you're chuckling to yourself that Jim and Dwight and Michael are all wearing fake mustaches in a botched Silly String raid of the Utica branch of Dundler Mifflin? And then a commercial comes on for, say, Jimmy Dean Breakfast Bowls, and instead of enjoying the guys in the ad dressed up in their wacky costumes and maybe thinking about how delicious a Jimmy Dean Breakfast Bowl might be you are instead diving for the television remote to turn the volume down before your ears bleed and and the dog wakes up?
Well, finally someone is addressing the absurd volume disparity between the shows and the commercials/station promos. Our old friends at the Dolby Corporation are preparing to announce which TV sets and A/V receivers will have this new feature, called Dolby Volume, and will also be licensing the technology to third party manufacturers as well.
I am a technical zero so can't begin to explain how it works but here's what GizMag says about it, "In dynamically adjusting audio output the system applies principles of psycho-acoustics – the science of how the human brain perceives sound. At higher volumes the brain hears 'flat' sounds with the bass, treble and mid-range leveled out, but at lower volumes your brain misses bass and treble elements and your ears become sensitive to only the mid-range. This is where Dolby’s modeling technology steps in to compensate for the brain’s natural tendencies and continue to deliver all the nuances of the soundtrack based on what we actually hear."
However it works, it's a Hallelujah technological breakthrough in my opinion, and long overdue.
Here it is: Extreme Spelling Bee.
Nerdy 9-year old white boy steps up to the microphone and misspells "vivisepulture." Instead of just a buzzer and a walk off, he gets pelted from the audience with rotten fruit.
Tiny home-schooled Mexican girl is next and misspells "xanthosis." She gets shot in the forehead with a paint gun.
Indian pre-teen with fuzz on his upper lip correctly spells "prospicience." From the side of the stage come a litter of puppies to lick his feet.
Another home-schooler can't figure out "appoggiatura" and when she misses, a trap door opens up on the stage and down she goes into a tank of sharks.
And so it goes....warm Mrs. Fields cookies for the winners, Montecore from the Siegfried and Roy show for the losers. Spell it right and get a lap dance from Hayden Panettiere. Miss your word and out comes a needle full of smallpox.
Who could turn that show off? it's TV magic and it is yours for the taking!
I haven't been impressed with any of the new fall season television offerings so far.
Three of the shows, and they're the ones with some of the biggest buzz so far, all seem like the same show to me: Chuck, Reaper and The Bionic Woman. Each is about a regular Joe/Jane who has something unexpected and fantastical happen to him or her and has to learn to deal with it. Watch their friends and family be amazed as they start fighting crime/capture souls for the devil/run really fast.
I feel like I already get all that and more that each week on Heroes, a much better show than any of them.
But as excited as I am to have The Office, 30 Rock, House and Family Guy back, the debut I have been waiting for is tonight at 9:00 on NBC.
Friday Night Lights is the little show that won't quit. This is its third night on the NBC schedule and maybe the lack of Tuesday and Wednesday competition will being in some more eyeballs.
Critics and a small but fanatical following got the show renewed for a second season. Last year It ended up on almost every magazine's top ten list (Entertainment Weekly, Time, etc.) and was named by the American Film Institute as the best TV show of the year.

text: The Optical fiber DTS (Distribution Temperature Systems) are unique distributed temperature systems using optical fiber as a sensor. These systems are able to measure the temperature along the fiber, in some case they can measure tension as well. For their function they use nonlinear effect in optical fiber (Raman nonlinear effect, Brillouin nonlinear effect). The greatest advantage of this sensor system is just using of the optical fiber (electromagnetic resistance, small size, safety using in inflammable and explosive area, easy installation, etc.). The Optical fiber DTS systems can be used with advantage even in areas, where the using of classic sensors would be problematic. The typical example is monitoring of outflows in pipelines, illegal service connection etc. In some processes it is necessary to know exact temperature (tension) in particular points. There it can appear a problem with resolution of the optical-fiber DTS. This article deals with problems of the optical meanders implementation into the building processes.

Abstract Space object orbital covariance data is required for collision risk assessments, but publicly accessible two line element (TLE) data does not provide orbital error information. This paper compared historical TLE data and GPS precision ephemerides of CHAMP to assess TLE orbit accuracy from 2002 to 2008, inclusive. TLE error spatial variations with longitude and latitude were calculated to analyze error characteristics and distribution. The results indicate that TLE orbit data are systematically biased from the limited SGP4 model. The biases can reach the level of kilometers, and the sign and magnitude are correlate significantly with longitude.

This is a one-ball knit lace scarf that offsets garter stitch with a simple lace pattern. The properties of the contrasting stitch patterns makes the fabric twist, scallop and crinkle so beautifully, especially after blocking. This is also a great project for showcasing variegated, hand dyed yarn because the lace and the garter stitch use the yarn differently, too.
NOTE: The scarf is worked without the need of the asterisks (*) but they are placed in case you wish to make this wider (for a shawl or other project). In that case, the pattern repeat is 36 plus 4.

Cisco Systems - Technical Support: Does DMA Require Win2K OS Patch while upgrading a CallManager?
Does DMA Require Win2K OS Patch while upgrading a CallManager?
Upgrading a 4.1(3) cluster to version 7.1(3), using new servers and importing a DMA TAR file to restore db. We ran the Upgrade Assistant and it complained about memory and the OS version on the old CallManager. It's OS version 2000.4.2 and the Upgrade Assistant wants version 2000.4.6.
My question is, does it matter? We are going to pull off the TAR file and use it during the new Communications Manager installation on the new appliance servers. Will DMA run ok on the current OS version?
DMA doesn't care what CIPTOS version you're running, it only cares you're running 4.1(3) to migrate the data.
As long as you don't get errors in DMA which is the real important part of the upgrade you're good to go.
The Upgrade Assistant is not related in any way, shape, or form to DMA and is not checking for any pre-requisites related to DMA. It is a generic application for both Windows and Linux upgrades. The Windows OS is of no consequence when you are migrating to Linux. The system will get wiped out anyway. It is running pre-canned checks as they relate to CUCM upgrades.

She never went overseas to spread the gospel message to the nations. The only person she actually sat down and led to Christ (that I know of) was my husband. She hardly ever sat down at all. Still, Martha Carol was a great ambassador for her Lord.
She was always doing things for others. She adored small children and animals, and she loved people when they were at their worst as well as their best. She loved unconditionally - in every sense of the word. And she (thankfully) passed that ability to love so well down to her son. I know because I am the fortunate recipient of that love.
Her seven-year battle with cancer ended on June 10, 2008. She was only my mother-in-law for a very short eight months, but she was the best mother-in-law a girl could have. She never got to see her two youngest grandchildren. I was just six weeks pregnant with our older daughter when she died. I know she would've loved my girls, and I grieve every day that they will never get to meet her this side of heaven. Still, I know that my girls are the recipients of Martha's legacy of love, and I know that their lives will be better just because this woman they never actually got to meet walked the earth at one point in time.
There are a lot of regrets I have and a lot of things I wish I would've said to my mother-in-law while she was still alive, but I didn't. So I decided to write them down now. This hub is very different from what I usually write - much more personal - but I thought the underlying theme of unconditional love is an important one that needed to be shared.
C.S. Lewis was one of the greatest Christian writers ever - ever. And his faith is even more amazing when you consider that he was a converted atheist. Try explaining that to some of the atheists in the religion forums on this site!
Lewis was a bachelor for most of his life, and then he married Joy Davidman Gresham. She truly did bring joy to his life, but she died only four years later. This is Lewis's response to her death - his difficult faith journey through the grief. In Lewis's words: "Nothing will shake a man--or at any rate a man like me--out of his merely verbal thinking and his merely notional beliefs. He has to be knocked silly before he comes to his senses. Only torture will bring out the truth. Only under torture does he discover it himself."
I read this book for the first time after I had a miscarriage in 2006 and again after my mother-in-law's death. If you are a believer who is hurting after losing someone dear to you, you must read this book.
I smiled and gently corrected her, “That’s Amanda’s grandmother.” She immediately looked confused. “MawMaw?” That’s what she calls my mother.
I was instantly reminded that children have a lot of wisdom for which we don’t give them credit. Is it because they’re younger that they’re closer to God, even if they haven’t personally accepted Jesus as their Savior (although I’m sure Amanda hasn’t yet reached the “age of accountability”)? Who knows? But that one little action reminded me that we do not “grieve like people who have no hope.” (1 Thessalonians 4:13, NLT). We can rejoice because we do know where you are.
You are home with your heavenly father and your loved ones that have gone on before, like my sweet baby Sean, for whom I also still grieve – with hope. I know you are taking really good care of him/her until Mommy gets to be with him (or her) again.
Watching that DVD with my girls (even four-month-old Julie was captivated by it), I remembered so many things. I remembered you showing me how to make your famous sugar cookies, and I remembered you showing me the memory book you made when you were in high school (and yes, I do still remember the year of your birth – even if you did have it blacked out on your driver’s license and excluded from your grave marker). Again, I have to ask: Does it really matter how old you were? You died too young - at least from our point of view.
I remembered how excited you were about our wedding and how you walked right up to Liz Curtis Higgs at her conference and told her proudly, “She’s going to marry my son.” I wonder if you ever knew how much that really meant to me – you so readily claiming me as your own, when my relationship with my own mother is so damaged and strained.
I know it hurt you that your son and I lived together so long without being married, and I truly am sorry for that. He wanted to get married. I was the one who was resisting because of fear. Still, you never let our actions and the pain it caused you stop you from loving us – both of us – with that unconditional love that only a true Christian can display. You welcomed me into your life and home with open arms.
I still grieve today – more than three years later. I grieve because you never got to meet our girls on this earth. Oh, how you would’ve loved them! I can see you in them sometimes – a fleeting look, an action that reminds me of you, and I’m instantly grateful that they have some of your blood running through their veins, even if some of your Blankenship blood does cross with mine. You’re my cousin as well as my mother-in-law. You never knew that, did you?
I grieve because I never told you that I loved you, and I still love you. Why didn’t I? I guess it seemed inappropriate and disloyal to my own mother. But I do love you. I can say it now unashamed. I’m just sorry it came too late for you to hear it. I tried to show you in little ways – by picking out gifts for you that I thought you would like, and I guess you did. Robert always told me you returned every gift he gave you, but you never did once I started picking them out. And, yes, my “yelling” at you for not taking your medicine was one of the ways I tried to show you I cared, too. I’m so glad you didn’t really think I was yelling at you!
I have hope that I will see you again in heaven, and then maybe I can share all these things with you in “person.” And our girls (God willing) can finally meet you and get a great big "hug" from you. I wonder if, once you start hugging them, you will ever stop.
I just wanted you to know that our girls will know about you and your legacy of unconditional love. I wish you could have remained here on earth for just a little while longer so our children could've had you as an elder spiritual guide. Children learn so much about God and the Christian life by watching their grandparents. I know I did - and Robert did, as well. But we both learned a lot from you, too, and I'm praying that we can pass some of that knowledge on to our girls.
I love you, Mama, and I miss you – every day. I will do my best to be a good wife to your son and a good mother to your grandchildren. I will always remember that unconditional love is possible - even for mere mortals - and I will spend my life trying to love everyone unconditionally – just the way you did. Thank you for that. The light and truth of your love will never go out, as long as I have anything to say about it.
Your son and I love and miss you.
(Verse from a popular memorial prayer).
What a truly beautiful and movingly hearfelt tribute and letter of love to your beloved mother-in-law, now passed away.
It's great to see you words written so beautifully and so well put. I'm sure she would have been even prouder of you as she was in life.
Your tribute is a tribute to you as well, showing how your heartfeltedness reflects her warm-heartedness and how her son chose well.
When my mother-in-law passed on, I wrote a piece of music in her memory. The notes were as good as words and expressed my gratitidue for knowing her and being in the shadow of her wisdom.
Absolutely beautiful WMwm, this is such a wonderful tribute that you are lovingly passing along to your children!
Hi, Laura. Thanks for reading!
What a beautiful and poignant tribute to a woman who sounds very special!
Awww. Thank you, drbj. I certainly hope so!
This is a beautifully written and lovely tribute, wmwm. I'm sure Martha Carol knew how you felt.

A Running Outlet is the fitting which connects the guttering to the downpipe.
Essentially a tee piece, running outlets can be used at either the centre or the end of the run of gutter. If the outlet is installed at the end then a short piece of gutter with an external stopend attached is used to extend the gutter past the end of the brickwork to catch any rainfall from the overhanging tiles.
The outlet has moulded screwholes to enable it to be fixed back to the fascia board. The downpipe connection is a simple push fit onto our 68mm round downpipe.

Cars make their way down Mount Gallant Road north of Celanese Road on Wednesday morning. The section of Mount Gallant from Celanese Road to Twin Lakes Road is slated to be widened under the "Pennies for Progress" program.
Faced with money shortfalls in the "Pennies for Progress" program, York County staff and engineers are beginning to scale back several road projects and may delay two others.
County officials and engineers are meeting to discuss the design of some 2003 Pennies for Progress programs, including major thoroughfares such as Mount Gallant Road, Ebinport Road, S.C. 49 and Nimitz loop and McConnells Highway. No final decisions have been made, and most of the designs still need to be approved by the county council.
"We fully plan to provide everything promised in the referendum," County Engineer Mark Kettlewell said. "But we may implement value engineering; looking at cost-effective ways to get those things completed, like putting traffic lights on wires instead of mast armed poles. We can't afford the upgraded version."
While the number of lanes to be added will be preserved, changes also could include using ditches instead of curbs and gutters and cutting out extras like bike paths, officials said.

The academies of the Early Modern Age were the natural environment of Renaissance humanism. Medieval universities, attached to scholasticism and focused on professional disciplines (law, medicine, theology) were unable to adapt to the humanistic trends. The studia humanitatis, renewed liberal arts (grammar, rethoric, literature, history and philosophy) based on the direct study of sources (greek and latin classics) and relatively independent of the authority of scholastic orthodoxy engendered thus the academy as alternative forum for the interchange of ideas.
The XVIth and XVIIth centuries saw how the academies turned also into centres of the arts, overcoming the guild learning system. Often, the more literarily inclined academies adopted fantastic and extravagant names, such as in Italy the Accademia degli Svegliati (“of the awakened ones”), Accademia degli Intronati (“of the stupefied ones”), Accademia degli Eterei (“of the ethereal ones”), Accademia degli Invaghiti (“of the ones in love”), Accademia degli Infiammati (“of the inflamed ones”)… Many academies exerted strong influence in the music of their times, becoming cradle of genres like the madrigal or baroque opera. This is the case of the Invaghiti, who in 1607 sponsored the Orfeo of Claudio Monteverdi.
Today our ensemble takes name from one of the most famous literary academies of the Spanish Golden Age, the Academia de los Nocturnos, briefly active in the end of the XVIth century in the city of Valencia (more about it in the Spanish Wikipedia), as we strive for reviving both the direct approach to the sources and the independence from orthodoxy of those humanists, doubtlessly the best way to discover (and uncover) the beauties of the past.

Luckily, there are a couple things you can do in order to keep up your bedroom in a great condition. If you get a small bedroom or perhaps a little apartment, then it could have a tiny hole in the wall for a closet, or perhaps no closet in any way. If you are in possession of a little bedroom, live in a studio apartment or dorm space, you might face a situation such as this.
While buying a storage bed, make sure to measure the region where the bed is going to be set up to make certain that the bed will fit well into space. Beds with storage are excellent for these compact rooms, but they are able to hold a good deal of stuff” that accumulates over time whenever there are not very many storage solutions out there. It’s sometimes feasible to have a whole storage bed shipped to a neighborhood store from the major store when you get online, which might be your cheapest shipping option.
When you’re walking into your bedroom, you should be in a position to get to the opposite end without meeting obstacles in the shape of your bed or other furniture. This is all about the least expensive option you are able to get for storing just about anything you have to have in your bedroom that is not overly large. From time to time, small fitted bedrooms can produce a person feel somewhat claustrophobic.

These are some real problems experienced by WD1001FALS-00J7B0 and Western Digital hard drives in general that we see in our lab. We are not affiliated in any way with hard drive manufacturers. All the information below is based solely on our experience and we do not make any claims regarding reliability of the specific model. We see mostly failed drives in our lab and therefore we don't have complete statistics.
The heads on my Western Digital(WD1001FALS-00J7B0 model) click but there is no grinding noise. It does this for a bit then it spins down and the clicking stops. The drive is not recognized in Windows, Mac OS X or Linux.
A wrong power supply was used. Spindle not turning. WD1001FALS-00J7B0.
If you experience any of the symptoms described above with your Western Digital WD1001FALS-00J7B0 please feel free to contact us to get upfront quote on data recovery from your failed drive.

Are You Ready For The Big Holiday Party Tomorrow?
Tomorrow is the big day! Our big annual Virtual Holiday Party. That special day when we all gather in the comment section and say hello to each other. It’s also a chance for folks from the past to remind us that they are still around in our hearts and on the internet, where stuff never dies.
We Miss you Larry! Woody Gal brings Larry at every party.
It just turns into fake news and click bait. Our hope this year is to break the comment record with over 200 comments. Now on any given day we get way over 4,500 views here so it is possible. If you show up, do the math and let loose. Just a Hide-ee Ho will be fine! Enjoy this little Holiday song! After breakfast!
Bring food, bring loved ones, bring a Hanky! We will have warm varnish coffee ready! See you tomorrow! Party starts around 6AM! Woohoo!
Predicting a snow storm tomorrow, hope the internet trolley is still running to get me there.
Almost a foot called for in Northern Illinois. A little on the ground now so I stocked up. WAIT! Jaxon brought in the Oberon and one looks like a Miller. Smart dog he is. O well it is the season of sharing.
South Parks’ Mr. Hankie is a poor excuse for comedy.
Is Hide-ee Ho Fine and relative to M-Fine?
Getting all warmed up for the big party! See you tomorrow.
I am not aware of any relations named Hide-ee Ho, but perhaps it is a nickname, stage name or alias.
The last time I partied that early was the year I went to the Sugar Bowl in New Orleans on New Years Eve with friends. “Beer thirty” started at 9AM and went long into the night. That was a long way to drive just to throw up in the street and a waste of a dozen raw oysters as well.

When getting back into the aquarium hobby last year, I quickly realized the advantage to automating the lighting in some way so that the light duration for our plants was consistent every day. I know that there are aquarium controllers available that incorporate lighting and other timers, but the cost and size of such systems was not for us. The simplest solution seemed to be a plug in timer. A plug-in timer is simply an on/off device that goes between your power outlet and the device(s) you wish to control.
Up to 50 ‘Events’ can be programmed per day, where an ‘Event’ is when your devices will be powered ‘on’.
You can program on any day or combination of days you want. You can program events to occur every day of the week, only on weekdays, only on weekend days, or any single or combination of days of the week.
After the clock is set, the unit can automatically compensates for daylight savings time change, so you don’t have to worry about setting this clock back or forward as the seasons change.
Random Setting – lets the timer randomize the timing for an event from 1 to 20 minutes. This feature originates in people’s desire to keep vacation light timers from being predictable down to the minute.
Sunup / Sundown Timer – you enter your location latitude/longitude and it knows your sunup and sundown time. You then incorporate this into a timing event. It lets you enter an offset time (up to 3 hours and 39 minutes) either before or after actual sunup / sundown.
Battery backup by way of a CR2016 coin type battery. This means that if there is a power outage or you unplug the timer, all settings will remain when the timer receives power again.
Model LT113-10W has a grounded (three prong) receptacle and plug. It is rated for a maximum load of 1,000 watts.
Override button: you can press this to change the current sate from ‘off’ to ‘on’ and vice versa. The change will apply until the next scheduled event takes over.
Model LT113-10W comes with a 6 foot cord and external ‘override’ button. This allows you to control the timer on/off remotely from the location of the Leviton plug-in timer.
Setting the time and date is simple. When you enter the year, month, and day of the month, it automatically sets the day of the week.
Programming the timer can be a bit complex, but it isn’t too bad. The instruction pdf for the Leviton plug-in timers can be found here. I would suggest writing down the times that your devices need to be ‘on’ and then working through the programming from that.
The unit has worked flawlessly day in and day out. I don’t have a very extravagant setup for programming; just a few events per day and the same schedule every day.
I like the reliability of the Leviton plug-in timers – no problems with consistency. I very much like the added benefits of the model LT113-10W with the external cord and override button. Never having to worry with changing the clock for daylight savings time is very nice and worth the slight cost increase over other lesser models.
On the negative side, it is a universal complaint among reviews at Amazon that the units come with a weak CR2016 battery, so it will not be long after purchase that the unit will not have reliable backup power. I would suggest immediately replacing the battery when you fist get the plug-in timer and do any programming. If the timer is of a critical nature, check the battery annually and consider changing the battery out for a fresh one.
Another negative is the operation of the remote override button. While convenient, it is sometime sluggish to respond. I have to press and hold, or it takes several tries for this button to respond. If it had a more positive feel that would make it much more enjoyable to use.
LT113-10W : This is the timer of this review. See above for a description of all features.
LT112-10W : All the same features as the LT113-10W, but it does not come with the external 6 foot cord with override button.
LT114-10W : Many of the same features as the previous two models, except: Only 3 event settings per day (down from 50), you can program by every day of the week/weekend/weekday, but not any combination of days, the power capacity is reduced to 300 Watts, and the receptacle and plug are non-grounded (two prong). This model also does not include the random setting and sunup / sundown timer. The LT114-10W comes with a configuration different from the other three models in that the plug is on the end of a 6 foot cord instead of the back of the unit. In this way, the timer can be hidden from view instead of having to be at the outlet.
LT111-10W : All the same features of the LT114-10W except that the plug is on the back of the unit.
I use the Leviton LT-113-10W model timer to control lighting on our Fluval Spec V aquarium. I have the lighting scheduled for a low-light setup with two main lighting times per day, one in the morning and the other in the afternoon/evening. I was worried that our children may want to look at the fish in the afternoon sometimes and would want access to turn the light on. This is where I really like the separate override button on this particular model.
I have the button mounted outside the storage box for our aquarium. The storage box hold the electronics of our setup including the temperature controller and the timers. I don’t necessarily want the kids to get inside the box just to turn the lights on, so the external button is mounted right outside where they can get to it.
I just setup an Eheim Automatic feeder for when we go on vacation. It is a very nice unit and has worked great. I usually unplug the pump when I feed the fish, so I wanted a similar setup while we are gone. I bought the Leviton model LT111-10W for this purpose. It is setup to control the pump and temperature controller. I have it programmed to turn off for a 25 minute span every day when we are out of town. This shuts off the pump, heater and cooling fan and the Eheim feeder dumps food during this time. This makes for still water when the food is dispensed and the fish have no problems eating without having to chase food all over the aquarium with the pump on.
Any number of uses can be imagined for aquarium uses. As a budget light controller is an obvious and very good application. Pump control as in the scenario described here is another good use. For tanks that have CO2 injection, a plug-in timer can be used to control the solenoid. One disadvantage to utilizing plug-in timers are the space they take up. While the units are small, if you have to use three or four of them, things can get crowded in a hurry. Also, after you add up the cost of three or four of these Leviton models, you are approaching the cost of a legitimate aquarium controller that can accomplish all your needs and more.
Between the four specific models of plug-in timers that Leviton offers, I would suggest getting the upper tier LT112 or LT113. I purchased the LT111 for pump control to save money, but I wish it had a three prong outlet.

Just read nearly all of your articles and plan on using them heavily as I set up my Fluval Spec V, so first of all, Thank you. Second, have you had an issue with evaporation while you are on vacation? Plugging the holes that ensure water supply to the pump makes this more of an issue.
Right – if you leave that lower bypass slot open it will never be a problem. I chose to plug the bypass, so if the level goes below the bottom of those slots the pump will run dry.
Evaporation rates vary greatly depending on temperature, humidity, etc. We have been gone up to 10 days and still had water in reserve. I would guess we could make it 14 days before it started to run dry. This is with the stock acrylic top on. Without that top, the evaporation rate would be faster.
If I had to be gone more than two weeks I would have to have someone come by and put some water in. Hope this helps.

So a lot has happened in the past few weeks. We attended both Zenkaikon and Sakura-con and both were a lot of fun. We’ve got a little bit of a break for cons actually with our next one taking place at the end of May at Animazement. We’re really excited to attend as we’ve never been to this one before and we look forward to meeting lots of new people.
In other news, we decided to hold a sale for the duration of April. So from now until April 30, all of our existing t-shirts have been discounted.

Poirot is looking for a special home, where, as a blind dog, he will have support and companionship.
Aged approximately 4-5 yrs, this wonderful boy is an absolute sweetheart. He is calm with other dogs & walks well on a lead.
He really needs the stability and routine that his forever home would bring him as of course he finds new situations and places daunting but copes well with the reassurance of humans in these situations.
As soon as he is comfortable, he just adores cuddles, and is more interested in interacting with people than other dogs.
Neutered, vaccinated and microchipped, Poirot will be an incredibly rewarding and affectionate boy for the right home.

Regular readers of our blog (thank you) will know that as well as using the blog to share useful tips and insight we also like to use it to despair at poor marketing practice. Whenever we see something, which as marketers we find disappointing or bizarre we feel the need to share it.
So this week dear readers we would like to share our exasperation at a work experience request.
The email began: “To whom it may concern”.
Seriously, to whom it may concern.
One of the fundamentals of direct marketing is to do your market research and target your communication accordingly.
Five minutes spent researching on the Internet or a quick telephone call would have provided a contact name and vastly improved her chance of success.
“To whom it may concern” does not give the impression that you are really interested in that person or company. Needless to say we won’t be offering her work experience.
If you are going to take the time and effort to target potential customers/recruiters then it is worth investing a little more time to do your market research.

As parents, we strive to do everything possible to keep our kids – no matter what their age – out of harm’s way, but sometimes commonly-used items elude us as being potentially hazardous.
You might be shocked to learn that just locking up those chemical products and prescription drugs might not always be enough.
1. Small Food Items and Toys. “Big kids...foreign bodies. I had a toddler who put an M&M up his nose this week – a red one,” says Dr. Lee Anne Wong, pediatrician with Sutter Medical Group. “Another little guy came in with a purple something in his ear which he denied ever putting in there...it just appeared. My husband [who is also a pediatrician] and I have also fished a little toy called a “Micro Machine” that was up a little boy’s nose – it was a tiny little metal vehicle. I haven’t seen them for many years, probably because people were putting them up their noses,” says Dr. Wong.
As a precaution, Dr. Wong recommends that all parents have the number for Poison Control readily available to call in case there is a known or possible ingestion of a dangerous substance. The call center personnel have access to a huge databank of information that includes brand name products, in addition to ingredients and potential side effects of ingestion. They are able to direct people to appropriate care – wait and watch, or proceed to nearest emergency room.
On a more specific note, severe and sometimes fatal allergies or sensitivities to certain everyday products and food items are becoming much more prevalent. Parents, as well as schools, must be extremely vigilant about making their environments sensitive to these needs.
4. Chemical Allergies. “We have students and staff who are sensitive to perfumes, deodorants, etc., as well as a number of students who have medically-diagnosed skin conditions that require special attention. In response, one of the things we have done is replace the alcohol-based hand sanitizers with non-alcohol-based products,” says Mary Ann Delleney, RN, BSN, MBA Coordinator, Health Programs for the Folsom Cordova Unified School District.
Whether the potential hazard is a purple toy or a peanut, we can never be overly cautious about the wellbeing of our children. Inevitably, though, something is bound to happen to the most well-watched toddler or teen and when it does, just remember that you’re not alone, and that help is just a phone call away.

Nick Bosa had surgery on September 20 in Philadelphia, and Ohio State coach Urban Meyer said at the time that the Buckeyes hoped Bosa could return this season. Bosa met with Meyer and members of the Buckeyes staff over the weekend to inform them of the decision. The All-American will now presumably begin preparing for the 2019 National Football League draft.
COLUMBUS-Ohio State defensive end Nick Bosa's college football career is over. "He is a first-class young man who we have been honored to coach". Bosa was injured earlier in the season and hasn't played since Week 3.
Bosa's father, John Bosa, told The Athletic on Tuesday that his son won't return to Ohio State when he's cleared, instead opting to focus his energy getting healthy and preparing for the NFL Draft.
Bosa had surgery to fix an abdominal/groin injury in late September. "Once we all huddled up as a family, and got input from older brother Joey and input from mom (Cheryl), and then the doctors, we decided it was in his best interest ... to shut it down".
With Bosa out of the lineup, Ohio State has relied more on defensive end Chase Young. Bosa is projected by CBS Sports' latest mock draft as the No. 2 overall pick to the Indianapolis Colts.
Bosa racked up four sacks, recovered a fumble for a touchdown and forced a fumble returned for a touchdown by a teammate in three games to start the season.
Saudi Arabia , the world's largest oil exporter, has denied it was responsible for the disappearance of Khashoggi. The last time South Korea did not import oil from Iran was September 2012, according to customs data.
Netflix Soars After Blistering Subscriber Growth Restores Faith Netflix demonstrated that its second-quarter miss was an anomaly, reporting record third quarter subscriber growth. Netflix expects to add 28.9 million customers this year, setting a new record for the 21-year-old company.
American Pilot Dead in Ukrainian Military Plane Crash On Tuesday, an American pilot on board a similar aircraft was killed when it crashed during a military training in Ukraine . At the same time, the US Air Force said in a press release that one American service member was involved in the crash.
