With regards the - select language at sign up plug in - is it possible to have a user select which language they want to see without signing up ?
In other words a user selects the language from a Dropdown box and then the web site changes to that particular language ?
There is few plugins that you could use for this purpose.
In my personal opinion WPML is the best and the most flexible one and I will choose it every time. As for Bogo and Xili-language I am not sure if they will fit your exact need so it might be best to check them out.

In South Korea dense mobile networks allow users to watch high definition video. By contrast, in the UK, as in many other countries, there is concern that investment has been insufficient to fully meet the quality of service and extent of coverage demanded by end-users. Policymakers are considering what incentives for telecoms operators might address the problem. Looking at the level of past investment can provide valuable information on what spurs capital spending, what might be holding it back and the link between policy and the level of investment.

"In the future your culture will be shaped by machines.
Android Writer PN121928 is part of the Android Publishing Program. To replicate a writer's life, his wife has been forcibly removed and he lives in solitude with an allowance for drugs and state prostitutes. Having just had his novel The Eating of Citizen Kane rejected, he now has 14 more attempts to get a story accepted for the programme or he will be deactivated."
‘An Android Awakes’ is an illustrated science fiction novel set in a futuristic world of androids, which follows PD121928, an author android, struggling to get his work published. I received a free copy of this book to review through Goodreads Giveaways.
PD121928 is an author android with a vivid imagination and a wide range of characters and stories in his head. In this world, androids make up the majority of the population and take on all the creative jobs that humans previously did. Author androids need to have one of the 42 works of fiction (under 1000 words) that they submit to publishers to be accepted or they will be deactivated. PD121928 has only 14 submissions left.
This book comprises his final 14 attempts and the subsequent rejections he gets between. In a way, this book is almost like a collection of sci-fi short stories. All of PD121928’s stories and kind of related, however. They all seem to have similar themes running through them and some elements, like the mockingbird and an angel fish appear in more than one story.
I particularly enjoyed the stories; ‘The Amazing Arctic Sinking Man’, ‘2306’, ‘Bookmark’, ‘Angel Etiquette’ and ‘The Great Sea in the Sky’. All the characters in this book's short stories were very fleshed out and the stories themselves seem like they could have gone on longer. I most wanted ‘Bookmark’ to continue as I am an avid reader myself and enjoyed the idea of having a bookmark as a pet, and you have to read to feed it.
I enjoyed the writing style and I liked how it kept switching from 1st person to 3rd. I made it easy to distinguish android PD121928’s life from his story submissions. I also really liked the artwork throughout and thought that it really added to the story. I like that it was just black and white line art rather than full colour pieces. The style of the art made the book feel very futuristic and fitted in so well with the stories. I would like to thank the authors, Mike French and Karl Brown, for also sending me 2 postcard art prints of illustrations from the book.
I really enjoyed this book and would recommend it to someone who likes the sci-fi genre, but is open to bizarre stories set in a world very unlike our own. I would also recommend going for a paperback copy rather than kindle to fully appreciate the artwork!

A fantastic wine and highly recommended this is deserving of the popularity it sustains and is one of my personal favourites. This is from the Puglia region of Italy.
With a dark appearance and medium body the delight really comes with the aroma – powerful fruits with blackcurrant in particular are present without dominating; the overall impression is of smoothness and balance.
On the palate those same tones of fruit along with nice hints of spice. Again, nothing dominates, but the flavours are balanced. Unlike some oak aged wines, the wooden barrels provide subtle notes that go well with the fruitiness.
This would go exceptionally well with roasted lamb, but other red meats would complement it well. Away from the meat, tomato based dishes with garlic and herbs will also work well.
This is not, at first, an easy to drink wine. The XV in the name refers to the alcohol percentage and it shows. I concur with the label description of “powerful”.
Once poured the wine has a rich and fruity aroma, but with a sourness that brings to mind raspberries. For such a strong wine it is thin bodied, but there’s still clinging to the glass (and later, the mouth).
The initial taste has a sharpness to it. The flavours are not strong and are dominated by the tannin and the alcohol. It almost evaporates in the mouth, not quite to the point of a brandy, but it is noticeable. There’s very little aftertaste, which makes it surprisingly easy to quaff. The expected weight just doesn’t arrive.
Not bad, but seems to be dominated by the alcohol.
With a deep ruby colour you may think this malbec is almost port like, but it does have a lighter body, which makes it very drinkable. It’s strong, but not overly so at 14% ABV.
The aroma is powerful and spicy, almost to being like a mulled wine, but this fades on the taste which is smooth and powerful with a complex set of flavours. The lighter body makes this much easier to drink than expected for something this dry, but it is still best served with food.
Red meat works well, but this is an excellent complement for game and venison in particular.

Upon arriving in Cork, the first thing we thought was this is not what we were expecting. From what research I did online, I envisioned Cork to be a small waterfront town with small streets and colourful homes. It was much larger than we expected and much more city-like. This kind of threw us off as we aren't really "city" people when it comes to travelling, we prefer small towns and villages with lots of history and culture.
Anyways, we got settled into our hotel and drove to Cobh (pronounced Cove). Cobh is the home to the last port the Titantic left before it's ill-fated journey, so we were excited to walk around just knowing that. Unfortunately we arrived later in the evening and did not have much daylight to explore which caused us to miss the iconic view we had driven there for in the first place. Regardless we enjoyed dinner at The Quay on the water and walked around this sleepy town with Aspen in tow.
The next morning we ate breakfast at Nosh & Coffee which you wouldn't really expect to be all that good, it was attached to a mall and just looked like any generic coffee shop but my goodness this place was so delicious we went back twice for breakfast! After filling our stomachs we headed to Blarney Castle to explore. We loved this stop and although expensive to get through the gates, we would highly recommend spending the money. We climbed up steep winding stair cases, through small doors into each room of the castle which dates back to 1446. And yes you better believe that when we reached the top I kissed the Blarney Stone. Seriously I don't understand why this is such a big thing but it's THE thing to do if you visit this castle. For over 200 years people from all walks of life, rich and famous, politicians, normal every day citizens have been laying down backwards and leaning over the edge of the castle wall and kissing a stone. Story has it that once you have kissed this stone, you gain the gift of eloquence. Myles wasn't really into it considering he is terrified of height and leaning over the edge of a castle to kiss a rock didn't really sit right with him, but I just had to join in on it. And hey if anything, I can at least say "Yes I did kiss the Blarney Stone". After climbing back down, we explored the gardens and other historic buildings on the property before driving to find Blackrock Castle.
Upon arrival, we realized Blackrock Castle was a lot smaller than we anticipated but we we none the less impressed with how it jetted out into the bay. Once at the castle we were bummed to find out that it has been turned into an observatory and was hosting a children's birthday party in the next room over. We debated back and forth whether we wanted to pay to get into the castle converted observatory and decided that we were fine not going inside. I'm glad we didn't spend the extra money because we didn't venture all the way there to see something like the equivalent of Science World, we went to see a castle.
After that disappointment we headed into Cork to explore the city. We walked through town and ate lunch at a small restaurant called A14. Again, we were so impressed with how accommodating these tiny restaurants were with us having a baby. There was most definitely no room for the stroller inside so they folded it up and stored it for us just outside on their patio and then somehow they fit a highchair beside our table. It was squishy but the food was amazing and the wait staff were so kind. After some more walking around Cork, we headed back to the hotel in hopes Aspen would sleep a little, spoiler alert... there was no sleeping. We ended that night by walking to a local pub down the street called the WhiteHorse where we ate and drank with locals. Everyone was so kind and interested in our trip and Aspen. We had many great conversations with locals who seemed genuinely interested in our lives and excited for us. This was a great end to our stay in Cork and definitely made the stop in this town worth it even if it wasn't what we were expecting, plus we visited Nosh & Coffee our last morning before heading to Fenit.

We don’t have pricing yet, but it will probably be cheaper.
The LG Stylo 3 launched last August was a cheap, far less-capable phablet alternative for people who couldn’t afford the Galaxy Note 8. LG seems to be taking the competition a little more seriously with a more powerful phablet to take on the rumored imminently upcoming Note 9, albeit still with lesser power.
We don’t know yet what the Stylus Q7 models, which are larger and handwriting-capable variations of the Q7 series announced in mid-May, will cost when they launch in North America and Asia this month, or the subsequent launches in more regions some time between July and September.
Like the Q7 series, they come in basic (Stylus Q7 Alpha), better-than-basic (Stylus Q7) and best (Stylus Q7 Plus). They differ from their phone counterparts predominantly by screen size (which makes them bigger and heavier) and stylus support.
While they’re the same size as the Note 8 and 9, they use a less powerful processor, basic stylus without pressure support and have single cameras. Nor does LG specify what the display technology is, but it’s unlikely to be OLED.

Russian Chapel in Slovenia – I ought to do this thread long ago since i see this chapel every year and its generaly an important monument. The chapel is symbol of Russo-Slovene friendship and relationships. It was build by Russian prisoners of WWI during their construction of Vršič pass road. They builded the chapel becouse some of their mates died in a tragic avalanche. A great and painful feat with no doubt since the pass is quite intense and even with car you can feel its a hard road.
Well before i feed you with some regular wikipedia info, which is legit and has no errors as far as i noticed, i would like to say that the chapel used to be better before 2005 renovation (ok the color is better now). That is becouse there is no more wishing bell which i used to ring every year. That was my favorite part of the chapel. Yeah i know am still a bit of a kiddo i like wishing bells very much!
The Russian Chapel at the Vršič Pass (Slovene: Ruska kapela na Vršiču) is a Russian Orthodox memorial chapel located on the Vršič Pass road in northwestern Slovenia. It was built by Russian prisoners of war engaged in forced labor in the area during World War I.
In early 1915, the small town of Kranjska Gora suddenly became strategically important due to its proximity to the Isonzo Front. To facilitate access from the town to the front, the Austro-Hungarian authorities ordered the construction of a military road across Vršič, a 1,611 m pass between the Sava and Soča valleys, to be built by Russian POWs.
The road was begun in May 1915, and was completed by the end of the year. To ensure an uninterrupted supply of materiel to the front lines, the pass was to be kept traversable year-round, and the POWs were made to clear the road of heavy snowfall. On 8 or 12 March 1916 (sources vary), an avalanche buried a POW work camp, killing approximately 300 prisoners and about 10 guards. Exact casualty figures were never determined, either for the victims of the avalanche of for those of the brutal overwork and appalling conditions.
The Russian camp was located roughly halfway up the slope of Vršic. Between 1916 and 1917, the remaining prisoners built a small wooden memorial chapel. The building is of typical Russian design, with two small towers on either side of the nave, and is surrounded by prisoners’ graves and a pyramid-shaped memorial marker to the immediate right of the chapel.
The site was renovated in 2005, at a cost of €90,000, and serves as both a war memorial and a symbolic link between Slovenia and Russia. The pass road was renamed Ruska cesta (Russian Road) in July 2006.

text: We present an efficient protocol for secure multi-party computation in the asynchronous model with optimal resilience. For $n$ parties, up to $t<n/3$ of them being corrupted, and security parameter $\kappa$, a circuit with $c$ gates can be securely computed with communication complexity $\O(c n^2 \kappa)$ bits, which improves on the previously known solutions by a factor of $\Omega(n)$. The construction of the protocol follows the approach introduced by Franklin and Haber (Crypto'93), based on a public-key encryption scheme with threshold decryption. To achieve the quadratic complexity, we employ several techniques, including circuit randomization due to Beaver (Crypto'91), and an abstraction of certificates, which can be of independent interest.

In early 1998, John Hancock Funds, a Boston-based financial services firm, was soaring; they'd just reached their highest level of sales ever. But even in the midst of the company's elation over its sales figures, John Savageau, the company's Quality manager, discovered that within its base of 45,000 broker-customers, JHF was losing hundreds of millions of dollars in business to other financial services providers. Savageau had merely asked a senior VP of Sales, "How many brokers stopped doing business with us last quarter?"
"No one had the answer," the manager explains. "Like so many salespeople, they were looking just at new business by dollar volume. We were at our peak, and the dollar figures kept going up; so no one supposed there was a problem. But the first time I ran a lost-customer analysis, we estimated hundreds of millions of dollars in lost sales in the second half of 1997. Brokers were simply selling the products of other financial services firms, and we didn't know why."
That's when the company brought in Diane H. Schmalensee, president of Schmalensee Partners, a Chestnut Hill, MA-based consultancy specializing in customer-focused improvement to build long-term relationships. Schmalensee proceeded to help JHF regain more than $30 million in sales from brokers who had been taking business elsewhere. To devise the winback strategy for JHF, she relied on research principles culled from The Loyalty Effect, by Frederick Reichheld (Harvard Business School Press, 1996).
First, the consultancy telephoned brokers, to determine the extent of the problem. "We identified individuals to call, by using JHF databases," recalls consultant Schmalensee. "By comparing historical data, we flagged those brokers whose purchases had dropped off by 80 percent or more; their business was declining, and we needed to know why." What she discovered was that while JHF executives and the company's inside salesforce were focused on their top broker-dealers (who each might buy a million or more dollars' worth of mutual funds per year), they were paying less attention to the thousands of brokers who were placing orders in the $100,000 range.
"We conducted about a hundred interviews - a lot of interviewing for qualitative research," she says. "We represented JHF by saying: 'We really care about your business; what can we do to regain it?' We expected they would report that they were unhappy with JHF service; but we found it was mostly a case of out of sight, out of mind. The company just wasn't staying in touch regularly-and its competition was. The business was walking out the door because of a lack of relationships. That told us that to win back these accounts, JHF would need to attend to relationship building."
Savageau continues: "We needed to start treating lower-level customers as though they were our top-tier customers. Our wholesalers and inside representatives were spending their time talking to the top 20 percent of clients, but in reality there was a billion dollars' worth of opportunity in the lower 80 percent." And according to William Pollock, president of the services consulting firm Strategies For GrowthSM (Westtown, PA), JHF's experience wasn't unique. "Measuring customer satisfaction is widely practiced, but surveying closed and lost accounts generally isn't. There's no more direct source of information than interviewing both current and recently lost customers."
After Schmalensee's research, JHF launched a broker retention-and-winback program that redirected its internal and external sales efforts to more ongoing contact with its customer base. "In the first six months, it paid off handsomely; the return was over 100-fold," she says. "It was immediate, and it was direct."
What was at the core of the success?
"You definitely need a strong database to make this work," says the consultant. In fact, the company is now so interested in seeing how the broker recovery program is paying for itself that, each month, the JHF customer tracking system lists broker-customers whose business is falling. "Now, instead of researchers telephoning the brokers after the fact, the inside sales representatives call customers proactively."
JHF executives and top sales managers even use the "lost customer list" developed from the initial research, when they travel across the country. "We not only continue to win back customers," Savageau says, "some of them are giving us more business than ever. That $33 million in recovered sales is projected to grow to almost $70 million this year. Customer winback is now an active component of our customer support model for all future business."
According to Steve Kraus of the Connecticut-based consumer research firm Yankelovich Partners, "Ninety-two percent of consumers we recently surveyed say they feel more powerful today about what they buy than ever before." Customers are simply less loyal than in the past. They have more choices, better knowledge, and the ability to instantly search the Internet for whatever they may need. In the blink of an eye, they can defect to the vendor next door if they're not happy. So, savvy companies are now exploring ways to combine customer relationship management tools with customer "winback" management strategies. They're using critical data that they cull from their new and existing CRM systems, to find out where they've erred with their customers.
They're blending clever marketing approaches with super-charged customer service, to "regain" customers and lure them back to the fold after defection. And, importantly, they're empowering customer service reps to negotiate with bolting customers at point-of-interaction-before flight takes place. Sometimes that's no easy feat. But winning back lost customers is becoming key to bottom-line success in every industry, from airlines to software.
Dave Munn is President/CEO of the Massachusetts-based Information Technology Services Marketing Association (ITSMA) - marketing, branding, and sales strategies advisors to the world's leading services organizations. "When customers are bolting or they've fled," Munn advises, "it's critical to make them feel that they're being re-approached with sincerity, and being offered a meaningful solution in a timely fashion. Late, impersonal, and token letters, calls or fixes don't get the job done. Yet we've found that most companies don't offer enough, they don't do it personally, and they take too long to offer an unhappy customer restitution."
Carrie Cornella, VP/Customer Service for the Colorado-based CRM software firm, GoldMine Software Corp, reports that her company's Number One strategy is to find out what unhappy or about-to-flee customers don't like, and then use that information not just to try to keep them on board, but to offer products and services that are better than ever before. "Some of these people end up becoming our most loyal customers. In fact, our best reference accounts are often the ones we've had the most trouble with! That's because we've had a chance to really prove ourselves. Any company can provide product, but we're a team. We believe that how you fix problems is what separates you from everybody else."
To that end, says Cornella, it's vital to make full use of CRM systems. "A large part of our strategy is to track all customer information, maintain a good history of all customer interactions, run reports, and do database mining and incident tracking, so that we can see how the customer may be struggling. The key is not to allow those little problems to build up over time-a lot of little things can eventually cause a big problem. So, yes, we're using customer information to reactively win back customers; but we're also moving from being reactive to being proactive. We're trying to see how we can train or coach customers so that they won't struggle in the first place."
As ITSMA's Munn relates, "That's one reason why the Ritz-Carlton hotel chain is so successful: Management gives every employee a $1,000 'budget' to recover dissatisfied guests. To Ritz-Carlton, the price of an unhappy guest is a lot higher than the cost to offer a free night, a room upgrade, or a bill credit. Companies shouldn't escalate complaints; they should give employees the power to handle them on the spot."
Cornella concurs: Key to preventing customer defections is CSR empowerment, she says. "We want CSRs to make offers and solve customer problems immediately. It's our goal to make sure the customer call never makes it to the manager. After all, the higher up the chain it goes, the longer the problem is unresolved.
So the CSRs are formally trained and empowered to resolve these kinds of issues. We even provide incentives for them to address specific problems while they have the customer still at hand; then, we incent them to add those resolutions to the knowledgebase, or send the customer detailed documentation to solve the problem. Our CSRs can give discounts within certain limits, as well; but if the customer is still unhappy, the contact gets immediately escalated to the VP level. The goal is to keep the customer and not let him get away from you. A lost customer will talk about a bad experience for 18 months - and remember it for 23 years. Do you want him bashing your company for that long?"
Designing the Formal Winback Strategy About a year ago, another CRM software firm, TeleMagic (a division of Sage US Holdings, Dallas), realized that it needed to formalize a customer winback strategy for its customer base. The company's research was indicating that they needed to build better relationships with their customers-even lost customers. But responding to customer needs, and winning customers back when necessary, was complicated, because TeleMagic sells its products exclusively through resellers, or authorized marketing partners (AMPs). So the company designed a "hierarchy of response" to attend to unhappy or bolting customers quickly.
"Now, if there is a problem, the AMP of record is immediately brought in to address any concerns that the customer may have," explains Karen M. Brittain, TeleMagic VP. "When a situation calls for additional on-site support, our resellers work in tandem by consulting with each other on vertical and horizontal markets. In many cases, having an industry-specific consultant, as well as a consultant with departmental expertise, serves to fulfill the clients' requirements."
TeleMagic's winback strategy includes not only the reseller channel, but the highest levels of the company. If necessary, TeleMagic corporate will work with support management and staff to bring back the customer. "Our director of Support Services is available to both the client and the AMP, to assess any situation that arises," Brittain says. "The director determines the course and scope of corporate intervention, and has daily contact with both the client and/or the AMP, to resolve the customer's problem. A formal strategy is then developed for each winback case; and as the strategy develops, it can include communication by phone, in writing, or in person from a member of the executive management team-up to and including the vice president of the company. Our clients have different problems, so each has different needs. The director of Support Services works closely with the client to define those needs, in order to develop the strategy best-suited to resolve the issues at hand."
Regain management experts agree that a formalized strategy-whether broadbased or individualized-is essential in the battle to win back customers. "Each company should have a clearly defined method of saving customers," explains Doubleday Direct's Friege. And at TeleMagic, says Brittain, "We put a special incident tracking system in place to assist escalation of potential problem accounts. Customer service surveys are also conducted with each newly registered user, to identify, early on, any implementation issues that he may be facing. Our formal winback-and-prevent-defection strategy has been in place less than a year, so it's difficult to quantify the impact on our bottom line. But we have seen an increase in the number of positive customer service survey returns as we have adjusted products, policies, and support processes based on the customer feedback."
GoldMine, too, uses numerous surveys to win back straying customers. While the company conducts win/loss surveys after prospective customers have evaluated their software, and conducts random spot surveys of customers to measure and monitor customer satisfaction, special e-mail surveys respond to specific incidents. The results are then sent back to Customer Service, where the data is benchmarked and tracked. "We log those complaints, and run reports," says Cornella. "We take the top 10 complaints of the month and, generally, find two or three issues that customers are complaining about the most. Then we implement a corrective action plan and post it on the website, or in the knowledgebase that we provide to our customers, 24 x 7. Finally, we conduct lost-customer surveys," she explains.
"We survey every single customer company that leaves us and ask them why they left. We contact each company directly, then schedule a call to the customer's management team. We're open and honest if we made a mistake. Together with the customer, as a team, we devise a game plan to tackle the issues. There's constant follow-up on a daily basis. It may go on for two days or two weeks, but the key is continuing the communication. We get many of our lost customers back this way: Now, only about 2 percent leave, and the most common reason is that the company has been acquired, or a corporate decision has been made to change software.
Still, if a client company's maintenance expires, we provide them with customer service for a 30-day grace period. If it has expired for a year, we'll provide a discount on the fee for reinstatement. And if we just plain lose the customer, we still continue to market to them, until they ask us to stop. We send new releases about products, and invitations to events, trade shows, road shows, and our annual user conference. We've won back even some of the diehards this way."
A winback case-in-point was GoldMine's experience with the Chicago Mercantile Exchange. "They'd been ready to dump us on a number of occasions," recalls Cornella. "For example, when we migrated from DOS to Windows, it was very painful for our customers, including the Exchange. But we walked the Exchange through the DOS transition by providing technicians dedicated to the migration. The Exchange stayed with us. Then, about a year-and-a-half ago, when they hired a new IT manager (who turned out to be a big supporter of another vendor's software), the memory of our previous commitment helped: The individuals at the Exchange who actually used the software did not want to give us up. But we had to win the manager over. So, we gave him a proposal, created a project plan of on-site implementation and training, and went back several times to conduct a needs analysis. Then we offered a nine-month trial. In the end, we won back the account."
Okay, you've lost some customers. But are those customers worth winning back? And what will they need in order to come back to you?
According to Erin Kinikin, industry analyst with Massachusetts-based Giga Information Group, "Companies are now stepping back from just acting [on winback] and instead, are prioritizing when they should act-and with which customers. Customer churn is watched closely, and the real name of the game is customer value management. Each customer today is a portfolio; companies must provide enough services to keep them, or enough offers to win them back, but still maintain profitability. There are all kinds of eMarketing software to help you make winback offers, but it's the analysis [of the customer data in the CRM systems] that helps you understand the present and future value of each customer. So you get much smarter about which customers you love, which ones you need to serve well, and which ones you may not want to win back at all."
Says Kinikin: "Leading eMarketing software firms (e.g., Rubric, MarketFirst, and Annuncio) allow companies to create e-mail campaigns to a specified set of customers, make personalized offers, bring the customers back to the website using an embedded name, and then track who came back and what each did. This is important, because the more data you can collect on a customer, the more likely you can extend an offer that will have value to him." If necessary, a company can create multi-step campaigns that can be kicked off when the "right" customers haven't bought anything for a period of time. "Marketing or eMarketing programs can push offers specific to those customers' profiles, wait several days, then send a better offer two weeks later. In this way, a company can see which offers and campaigns are effective in bringing customers back to the fold.
Winback campaigns waged in the past," says Kinikin, "would normally take three to six months to reveal the customer need, because of the time it took to send out letters, get responses back, determine an offer, work with the advertising agency or direct-mail firm, and get materials printed and sent out. Now, companies are typically putting out e-mail campaigns in a week and getting feedback in a day, because they can get 80 percent of their e-mail response in the first 24 hours. So now they can make any number of offers in the same time it took previously to simply conduct a winback campaign." All the while, she continues, the company is adding to its knowledgebase, regarding what its customers want, what drove them away, and what will bring them back to the fold.
"And remember," she points out, "traditional [winback] marketing campaigns cost anywhere from $100,000 to $1 million. The response rate is usually only 1 or 2 percent, and the campaigns take so long that information is often irrelevant by the time the responses come in. Today, e-mail response rates are between 10 and 20 percent, depending on how good your list is and how effective your offer is; and the costs are usually nowhere near traditional figures."
Will eCRM and the Web Help? Strategic competitive advantage today lies in what a company "knows" about its customers, and how it can reinvent its products and services to deliver ever-higher levels of customer satisfaction, retention and, yes, winback. By using every division within your organization, say enterprise CRM (ERM) vendors, you can extract critical information, conduct strategic research, and implement customer profiling that anticipates customer needs and wants-and can even win back customers you may be losing. To find out what has alienated your customer, the key is to gather enterprise-wide knowledge, not just "stovepiped" data from a half-dozen CRM tools scattered throughout the organization.
"Customers are tired of repeating information three different times to three different agents," explains Christine Holley, spokesperson for Interactive Intelligence, Inc (Indiana). "What's more, they're now tired of selecting a near-real-time communications medium, such as e-mail, and not hearing back from a company for days or even weeks. In fact, many studies now paint a pretty gloomy picture of Web-based customer service." True, industry analysts have recently revealed that eCommerce service is so dismal, it is the primary reason why two-thirds of Web shoppers leave stocked "carts" and jump off of sites before they purchase. Web merchants are now pondering the dilemma of trying to win back customers they didn't even know they had!
Then, too, traditional CRM tools such as customer interaction systems and field service software, are now being augmented by new-breed Web CRM tools. From Web-based help desks and knowledge bases, to text chat and Web messaging management tools, e-technologies are presenting companies with new ways to communicate with customers. Some companies are now trying to think of ways to utilize those Web tools to help entice lost customers back.
"But I wouldn't use the Web to win back a customer," says Chris Selland, vice president of Customer Relationship Management Strategies for the Yankee Group, a Boston-based IT research and advisory service. "A winback is a very delicate situation. Your best tool is a real, live person. And because a true winback means a good selling job, even if you've got the customer service people on the case, they should bring in a salesperson-not a tool. Always remember: Winback is a very people-intensive process."

Why use a networking card when job searching?
Job seekers are always asking me why they need a networking card. They often say ''it might work for someone else but I don't think it will work for me''. Anyone can use this tool to assist them with their job search, it does not matter what type of job you want.
You find yourself at a BBQ and strike up a conversation with a friend of a friend. As the conversation progresses, the question comes up ''so what do you do?'' You could say ''I'm unemployed'', or you could say, ''I am looking at getting into a career as a ...'' They might then say (this did happen) that their brother in law is in the industry you are in and might be looking to hire someone. What do you do now? ... Give them your resume? Write your information on a cocktail napkin? Run around and find a pen?
You can pull out your networking card detailing your contact information and your key skills and hand it over to them. The friend of a friend can now put your card in their wallet and then give it to their brother-in-law. In addition, you would want to get the brother-in-laws phone number so you could give him a call. This demonstrates your professionalism, initiative and creativity.
You go to the salon to get your hair cut. You have usually 1/2 - 1 hour to small talk. Why not bring up the fact you are currently between jobs and let him/her know what type of job you are looking for and show them your networking card. They may offer to pass it along if they hear of any positions, or give you a call if they see something you may be interested in. This technique worked for a recent client and he was referred to the hairdressers' brother and secured a job.
Developing a networking card takes no time at all and can be one of your most effective marketing tools. It is simple, easy and to the point.

CORNETTSVILLE — A man seeking prescription painkillers shot and killed a doctor at a Perry County medical clinic Tuesday morning, according to state police.
Dr. Dennis Sandlin, 57, of Delphia died after being shot at Leatherwood/Blackey Medical Clinic in Cornettsville.
John Combs, 46, of Redfox in neighboring Knott County, was arrested after the shooting, state police said. Combs has been charged with murder.
Perry County Coroner Jimmy Maggard said Sandlin was shot in the head with a handgun while writing on a chart outside the clinic's exam rooms. He was pronounced dead at the scene at 12:53 p.m. An autopsy was scheduled for Wednesday in Frankfort.
"Here's someone who came back home to help his community ... an innocent victim of a problem that is an epidemic throughout this state."
Wooton said he understood Sandlin previously had been involved in an incident in which he physically fought with a man seeking drugs.
"Denny knocked him out," Wooton said.
But generally, Sandlin was "a very gentle person," Mongiardo said.
"He was very laid-back, mild-mannered, never raised his voice," Mongiardo said. "I can't begin to tell you how heartbroken we all are. He's taken care of generations of families."
Caudill said Sandlin was well-loved. He had recently participated in a program to collect $10,000 worth of Christmas gifts for children.
The gifts are to be distributed next Tuesday, Caudill said.
Sandlin would take time to talk with patients, and he was "particularly gifted" at caring for older people, Wooton said.
The clinic is closed until Monday.
"MCHC is a family and will pull together to overcome this," Caudill said.
The non-profit Mountain Comprehensive Health Corp. is based in Whitesburg and is one of the largest rural health centers in Kentucky, according to its Web site.

text: China’s long-term economic dynamics pose a formidable challenge to economic historians. The Qing Empire (1644-1911), the world’s largest national economy prior to the 19th century, experienced a tripling of population during the 17th and 18th centuries with no signs of diminishing per capita income. In some regions, the standard of living may have matched levels recorded in advanced regions of Western Europe. However, with the Industrial Revolution a vast gap emerged between newly rich industrial nations and China’s lagging economy. Only with an unprecedented growth spurt beginning in the late 1970s has the gap separating China from the global leaders been substantially diminished, and China regained its former standing among the world’s largest economies. This essay develops an integrated framework for understanding this entire history, including both the long period of divergence and the more recent convergent trend. The analysis sets out to explain how deeply embedded political and economic institutions that had contributed to a long process of extensive growth subsequently prevented China from capturing the benefits associated with new technologies and information arising from the Industrial Revolution. During the 20th century, the gradual erosion of these historic constraints and of new obstacles created by socialist planning eventually opened the door to China’s current boom. Our analysis links China’s recent economic development to important elements of its past, while using the success of the last three decades to provide fresh perspectives on the critical obstacles undermining earlier modernization efforts, and their removal over the last century and a half.

What are MV-1 Accessible Vehicles?
The MV-1 is the first factory-built vehicle that set out to be wheelchair accessible from the start.
Whereas other vehicles are often converted and modified to make them “handicap accessible,” these new and used wheelchair accessible cars exist to be fully accessible. They’re the smarter choice for passengers in wheelchairs.
Instead of compromising with a model that was made to work, MV-1 put all their effort into making the best wheelchair accessible vehicles to fit your needs. The standard in-floor ramps make entry and exit a breeze.
The difference that having a cabin specifically designed for wheelchairs makes is staggering. Any passenger can ride beside the driver or in the middle seats, while the MV-1’s suspension has been engineered to give the smoothest ride possible.
When you modify an existing vehicle, it’s hard to maintain all the safety features and other capacities. With these wheelchair accessible vehicles, you know that everything has been developed to fit your needs, without compromise.
The MV-1 is available in multiple trim levels, and we’d happily set you up with a test drive of new or used wheelchair accessible cars. Ride Time also happens to be the sole MV-1 Winnipeg service provider authorized to work with your new wheelchair accessible vehicle. Visit us at 87 Oak Point Hwy (corner of Route 90 & Selkirk Ave) if you’d like to get behind the wheel or need service for your MV-1.
Don’t try to force other used vehicles to be what they’re not. Shop our used wheelchair accessible cars to ride the smart way.

The New Dr. Who? The BBC is reporting that Former Doctor Who Tom… - When pigs fly.
The BBC is reporting that Former Doctor Who Tom Baker says that Eddie Izzard is to be the next doctor for the TV show that starts 2005. Eddie is known for being a cross-dressing comedian in Britan.
My weekend began with some frustrating affairs: My plan for the trip to MLW (Mates Leather Weekend) involved NOT driving to P-town (to avoid the traffic getting there and back.) I was to take Boston Harbour Cruiseline's fast ferry (the same kind as they are planning to add to Rochester to Toronto next year, except this is passenger only.) After driving into Boston to the harbour and waiting almost forty-five minutes at the gate (the ferry was scheduled to leave at 2:00pm), I went to the main office for BHC and inquired where the boat was. The stunned receptionist told me that there was no 2 o'clock trip, it had been canceled.
What?!? As I pulled out my ticket that I purchased at their website to show to her. She took the ticket and got her supervisor. I was then told that the boat had broke down and was in dry dock. All persons that had tickets were called, except for those (as I) that purchased tickets with their website... Apparently they don't have access to the customer data from their own web site, so they had no telephone number to call! Well, I was fit to be tied. I did not want to drive there; that was the whole point! They were nice in the fact that they 1) refunded my $65, 2) gave me a free round-trip ticket for two on the fast ferry good for the next seven years, and 3) were going to pay for a bus trip to P-town, and provide return passage on the ferry as planned. The last part of this plan went south when we discovered, as it's off-season for visiting P-town, that there was only one bus, and it had left South Station at 1:00pm. I was left with no choice but to drive.
I fought the Friday afternoon traffic out of Boston down the I-93 heading for Rt. 3, which will take you to Cape Cod, and then to Rt. 6 which ends in Provincetown. I turned on the radio to listen to the traffic report to discover why I-93 was so packed, and heard that Rt. 3 had been closed due to an overturned cement truck and that 3-A (the alternative to Rt 3) was also backed up and hardly moving. My weekend was not off to a good start. To make a long story short, I took many, many back roads to get beyond the blockage and picked up Rt. 3 and continued to P-town unabated. The trip which normally takes about 2 hours took four ½ hours. I arrived at 6:30pm and checked into the bed & breakfast.
The rest of the weekend went well! Although chilly, the weather was nice. There were a lot of leathermen and bears from all over the east, including some friends I knew from New York City and Cleveland! Both evenings, I ate well! On Friday, I ate at The Mews and had a wonderful patê, filet mignon and all the trimmings! It was delicious! Saturday, I went back to the The Lobster Pot, where I had eaten before. As always, it was wonderful. The "First Mate Contest" was held outdoors under a huge tent, but it was so crowded that you could not see nor hear what was going on; so I just hung out by the fireplace in the bar with hundreds of other guys. Next year, they should consider using closed-circuit TV to broadcast the contest on all the screens in the bar!

Corel USER to USER Web Board • View topic - Is H.265 codec installed as part of VS?
Is H.265 codec installed as part of VS?
I know we have talked here several times about HEVC/H.265 video and whether VS can handle it. I also know that the basic answer is that it depends on whether the computer has a card equivalent to or later than Intel Skylake. But I am wondering how many of us can actually insert, edit and produce HEVC video using either VS 2018 or X10.
The simple answer for me is: I can't do any of those things! Each time I try, I get a msg saying my hardware is not up to the job. That's rather strange in itself since I have a 7th generation Intel Core i7 CPU with Intel Iris Plus 650 graphics -- which is up towards the top of the Intel graphics scale. And on top of this, Intel itself insists that both are more than capable of handling HEVC.
I have quite a few HEVC clips in my library from various sources, and one of my cameras (Samsung Gear 360) films exclusively in HEVC. To rub salt into the wound, Cyberlink Power Director 16 and one or two of its predecessors, plus Cyberlink Action Director, have no trouble playing and editing HEVC on this same computer. And I also have a few players (VLC, Pot Player and DivX Pro player) which have no trouble playing it. I suspect that at least these players were installed with their own version of the H.265 codec. I don't know about Cyberlink.
DivX Pro comes with a HEVC plug-in. I have also installed the h.265 codec from the K-Lite codec pack. And I have also obtained it from its developers at x265.com and installed it -- at least I think I have. But in VS, when I go to Share and choose one of the HEVC outputs, I get the 'bad hardware' message, and trying to insert HEVC video into the timeline produces no image, though the audio works. Indeed, going into Share > Custom, I cannot even find a reference to DivX in the .avi options or anywhere else, though XVid is there.
So I naturally wonder exactly which version of the H.265 codec -- if any -- might have been installed as part of VS. Logic tells me that the codec wasn't part of the VS package and the coding of VS simply can't for whatever reason pick up and link to one of the several versions of the codec elsewhere on the computer. If the codec was in fact installed by VS, then again logic tends to suggest that it has some peculiarity which blinds it to the fact that my computer's hardware is capable of dealing with HEVC, when a number of other programs can see it quite easily.
Re: Is H.265 codec installed as part of VS?
Ken, two weeks ago I received a ~5G mov 90min HEVC file from IphoneX and had to trim it to 15min.
my X9.2 didn't liked it and I don't have QT. so I converted the file in my favorite XMedia Recode.
Again this is a freeware.
I don't use the intel GPU.
I can certainly ignore VS in this regard since as I indicated above, Cyberlink provides me with at least two programs which happily work with HEVC. Indeed, Samsung have obviously worked closely with Cyberlink in making a slightly earlier version of their Action Director program the specific program that my Samsung Gear 360 camera (which films in HEVC) needs both to stitch the two fisheye videos the camera shoots together, and render them out. Indeed, it connects directly with the Gear 360 and can download and stitch directly from the camera. Moreover, rendering in Action Director can be done in HEVC (though it takes a long time) or h.264 -- which is much quicker. But in essence this only makes me more frustrated that my VS can't even play HEVC, let alone edit or render it.
And yes, I can -- and have -- converted HEVC (including my Gear 360 footage) to h.264 (using Handbrake), and then put it into VS with no problem. But I hope you understand that that is not quite the point of this exercise when I have programs that can play, edit and render the format in its native state.
I have a mkv-file with HEVC-video and aac-sound inside. When I try to import this file, VSX10 says: "Unable to open file...file format mismatch".
I was hoping that VS2018 can handle this type of files, but Ken is saying this problem is also with VS 2018. I stay away from VS 2018, and this I do not understand: in the specifications I am reading: support HEVC and in supported formats: import: mkv.
Editing was possible in Microsoft Photos (slowmotion) and PowerDirector 16.
-produce: I even do not try this.
One Drive , Google Drive, Drop box etc.
If it fails for us you should contact Corel Support and provide them with a link to your sample.
I might just add here that I still have not been able to resolve my problem with Video Studio, and have not heard anything further from Corel.
Thanks for supplying those samples -- they add nicely to my H265 collection. However, as expected, they bring up a File Format Mismatch message when I even try to insert them in the VS 2018 library, let alone the timeline. Yet, as usual, they play and are editable in all my other NLEs, and play on my various software video players.
I read this thread and did some tests with VSX10. First of all, I bought that HEVC codec for 10 kr from Microsoft store and installed it.
MKV files with H265 VS does not take at all. It says "File format mismatch".
It looks like that VS does not like H265 neither in MKV or in MOVs. Only in MP4.

Samsung’s wireless earbuds have some pretty sweet features.
Samsung’s Galaxy Buds are similar to Apple’s AirPods, in that they are completely wireless earbuds, use a compact charging case, and have exceptional battery life. But what sets the Galaxy Buds apart from AirPods is their Android-first focus, which allows for features like message notifications and playback controls.
Whether you’re using a Pixel 3 or a Galaxy S10, pairing is simple, tap interactions are customizable, and app alerts are a breeze to set up. Here’s how to do just that, plus a few extra tips.
Pairing the Galaxy Buds with a Galaxy phone is pretty simple. Open the case, wait a few seconds, tap a button and you’re done.
For those who own a Galaxy S10, you can use the phone’s Wireless PowerShare feature to add some extra power to the case while on the go. Battery life on a single charge for the Galaxy Buds should get you around six hours of use.
If you remove both Galaxy Buds, whatever was playing will automatically pause. There’s no setting or hidden button you need to enable beforehand, it’s a built-in feature.
However, putting the Galaxy Buds back in will not auto-resume whatever it was you were playing. You’ll need to single tap on either touchpad for that to happen.
Outside of extending battery life, this is also an option for those who don’t like the ambient sound feature of the Galaxy Buds.
Initial setup of Galaxy Buds asks you to grant the earbuds access to your phone’s notifications. That’s because when using the Galaxy Buds, an alert followed by the app name can play in your ear.

Taking its name from the intersections of Livernois and McNichols (referred to colloquially as 6mile road) Live6 Alliance, began in 2015 with the mission “to enhance quality of life and economic opportunity in Northwest Detroit”. The Livernois and McNichols Corridor Revitalization Plan, a comprehensive planning strategy focused on implementing a coordinated range of transformative projects to address physical, social, and economic challenges in this area of Northwest Detroit. The Fitzgerald Neighborhood, which resides on the Southwest corner of the intersection, was selected because of the concentration of publicly- owned vacant lots and homes. Currently, part of the neighborhood is undergoing a massive revitalization in which more than 100 homes will be rehabilitated and 200 vacant lots will be transformed into greenspace. Considering the impact of revitalization efforts, it is vitally important that communities which are experiencing such development be empowered with information that will facilitate their ability to identify the historic and artistic character, as well as the communal value, of their neighborhoods.
Focusing on the McNichols and Livernois intersection, the first phase of DNA used art to bring new life to vacant storefronts, empty lots and new public spaces cross a range of mediums. A collaborative engagement and artist selection processes empowered neighborhood stakeholders to curate arts investments in their community through process and partnership.
Strategically located in the heart of the Fitzgerald community, the highly visible final murals and installations will be located between Wyoming and Livernois Avenue, along Puritan Ave. The artist must produce a creative plan to incorporate the engagement of residents in a project focused on a walk-ability environmental focus, in the commercial corridor of Puritan street helping to connect the north and south sides of the Fitzgerald community. A walkability plan should include safety, beautification and access to green spaces.

In June 2010, the Western Cooperative for Educational Telecommunication (WCET) asked the membership how institutions were doing with this issue: centralization vs. de-centralization. Twenty-three administrators (provosts, VPs, associate VPs, directors, associate directors, COOs, deans, associate deans) and faculty members provided their valuable insights on the issue.
We are experiencing an era of reduced resources. Those favoring centralization espouse the benefits of both consistent instruction and course development, as well as the avoidance of more resource-consuming stove-piping prevalent if colleges/departments are allowed to develop their own online instructional programs. Those favoring decentralization are convinced that college/departmental control is the best solution for students, faculty, and institutions. The contention of these respondents was that college deans would take on the added responsibilities of their college’s portion of centralized operations of distance learning, faculty development, and learning technologies. A key is to find distance learning champions for each college within an institution. And, that is extremely costly when supporting multiple distance learning organizations versus one.
Both centralization and decentralization of distance learning have advantages and disadvantages; causing many to favor a hybrid approach. The recognition of local control and personal engagement of decentralization must be blended with centralized services that are often more efficient, cost effective, and liberating.
Technology advancements have brought new opportunities and responsibilities for instructional quality and control. (Fletcher, J., Tobias, S. and Wesher, R) The true responsibility of this lies with the faculty.
When comparing distance learning to face-to-face instruction, a number of important factors emerge, including similarity of student learning experiences, student outcomes, and employer acceptance of credentials. It is important that the instruction provided in both venues be seamless. Centralization ensures that institutions offer services specifically to the online population, while ensuring that they receive the same level of service and instruction that the onsite students receive.
A number of institutions favor decentralization, but do not (or are not willing-to) hold their institutional campus to the same standard and rigor (metrics, support, quality, rubrics, etc.) as their online courses. The ability of college deans in the decentralized modes of administration to be able to discern the differences is the crux of the issue of whether services are better (and more economical) when provided “centrally” instead of by the college or departments.

After a long 100-day local tour, Ian Penn is back with lots of new exciting compositions and this song is one of them. Released last June 19 via bandcamp, the track triggers all our vulnerabilities and then gives us a long, warm embrace. Whether it’s from nature’s anthropomorphism or a person’s comfort, it feels like safe haven.
“Being back home in Mt. Arayat doing nothing, a 4-track TASCAM cassette recorder was lying around, and I recorded ‘Recurring Dream,'” he reveals in his interview with Bandwagon. It was then mixed and mastered at Redverb Studios, Quezon City.
Despite the minimalist tape-esque approach, “Recurring Dream” is nevertheless oozing with emotions. Background white noise present throughout the whole song pays homage to how a cassette tape recording would sound; accompanied by the heartfelt longing and reminiscing through the rawness of voice and melodies.
At the latter part of the song, Ian delivers an interlude through guitar hook melodies to pour out emotions that words alone cannot express. Check out the Youtube video below.

Why developing your signature uniform could be the best thing that ever happened to you.
For several years, I worked for an organization that required everyone to wear a uniform consisting of black slacks and a simple polo shirt displaying the company logo. I remember the first time I met my supervisor wearing a cute, stylish outfit. After our greetings the first thing she said to me was "I appreciate how much time and effort you put into looking great but you have to adhere to the dress code."
1. I saved a TON of money! Not having to buy business casual work clothes allowed me the money to splurge on other indulgences. Having to always have new, nice clothes to wear is not only exhausting, it's expensive.
2. Time. Time. Time! Oh my gosh, I can not tell you enough about how good it feels to wake up in the morning and not have to worry about deciding what to wear. When I had to leave at 4:30 am to catch a flight, all I had to do was iron a polo shirt and head out the door. I enjoyed lots of extra sleep thanks to that uniform.
3. Less clutter & bulk. After leaving my job, I started buying "normal" clothes again because I wanted to celebrate my freedom. It didn't take long for the closet to get filled with clutter. And when I go on vacation, I end up bringing lots of unnecessary outfits because of indecision. When I traveled for work, I had the smallest little carry on filled with a handful of different colored polo shirts and a few pair of black slacks. That was it. Life was so much simpler then.
4. You develop your brand. Because my polos had a logo on it, random people would start chatting with me about the company. At first, I was annoyed by this, but after a while, I realized what a smart business move it was.
Developing a personal uniform is like creating your own brand. If done right, that's what you become known for. Look at all the fashion designers who are all easily recognizable because of their attire. If you develop a style brand for yourself, people may look at you funny at first, but in time, they'll realize this is a carefully thought out strategy that pays off in a big way in the long run. Wearing a daily uniform doesn't always mean black + white attire. Designer Betsey Johnson has a signature look that speaks to her creativity. I love this story of how a woman designed her signature look then bought all of her work clothes for the year in one fell swoop.
Lots of successful people follow the approach of having a signature look. As someone who's lived that life for over 4 years, I totally get it. When I see Kim K wearing various shades of the same dress, I nod silently to myself because I completely understand.
I never thought I'd miss the days of having to wear a daily uniform. But all these successful people can't be wrong. Some of us wear almost the same thing every day anyway, but is it stylish, and does it elevate your look? My current daily attire doesn't meet these requirements so it's time to design a uniform as part of my signature look.
Great post Nadege, its definitely something to consider for many reasons. However, while I don't think I can do a signature "uniform", I'm definitely working on establishing my signature look for work, etc.

Mc Dougal, AR is an excellent place to live. It’s got all of the charm and quiet of any small town, but it’s also close enough to the larger city of Henry to have some nearby fun and excitement. Unfortunately, though, Mc Dougal is neither as developed or as technologically advanced as it could be. In fact, it isn’t even its own “town” really; it’s still unincorporated and is often lumped in as an outlier of Henry. Despite those facts, many people really love living in Mc Dougal and couldn’t imagine living anywhere else; their only problem, however, is that they have a hard time finding internet service. Most internet providers just haven’t bothered with Mc Dougal, and the internet service providers that have mostly offer slow, outdated, and unreliable internet options. The one exception to that rule is HughesNet Internet, also known as HughesNet Satellite Internet. Hughesnet is a satellite internet service provider that offers very high speed, very reliable satellite internet to people regardless of where they live, and that extends to people in good old Mc Dougal!
Why Other Internet Options Just Won’t Do in Mc Dougal!
People are often unsure about using satellite internet service in Mc Dougal, usually because they don’t know as much about it as they do about older forms of internet access, such as broadband internet or wireless internet. The truth is, however, that satellite internet companies, such as HughesNet in Mc Dougal, truly do offer the very best option for securing high speed internet, especially for those living in rural areas like Mc Dougal, Arkansas. Other options, which may or may not be available for rural internet subscribers, just aren’t as reliable and don’t provide fast internet the way that a satellite internet provider can. Dial-up internet, for example, is so outdated that many modern computers can’t even support it. Plus, dial-up requires you to have a phone line, ties that phone line up when you’re online, and is notorious for slow connections and constant disconnects, internet options Mc Dougal, AR. Some people think that DSL is a much better option, but when you look at DSL vs. satellite internet, you’ll see that you still need a phone line, and that if you’re not in close proximity to a central switching station, which most people in rural areas aren’t, you’re not likely to fare much better than you would with dial-up in Mc Dougal. Comparing cable vs satellite internet is even worse, since cable connections need a strong connection to a nearby service center in order to give out good internet signal in Mc Dougal, Arkansas and to keep speeds from being agonizingly slow . When you grow tired of these options or when you can’t get access to them, give yourself a break by securing surprisingly cheap internet service from the best internet provider around, Hughesnet! HughesNet will even send satellite internet installers to your home at your convenience to set up your service and teach you how to use it; talk about customer support in Mc Dougal, AR!
HughesNet Internet is truly the only one of the internet providers that absolutely anyone in Mc Dougal, AR can qualify for, regardless of which area of it they live in. When a person chooses to sign up for Hughesnet Satellite Internet, he or she will be able to connect to the internet absolutely anytime, and other users in the Mc Dougal home can use the internet service as well. See, unlike other internet service providers and other types of internet, satellite internet is delivered via a satellite that sits in orbit. Because of this fact, when Hughesnet becomes your satellite internet service provider Mc Dougal, AR, you don’t need to go through some long, complex, and difficult installation process. Instead, a small mini-dish will simply be installed somewhere on your property, and you’ll be given a modem to connect to your computer.

The Danish Library Centre for Integration (SBCI) is part of the Danish State & University Library, (an institution under The Danish Ministry of Culture) which delivers a wide range of shared national services to public libraries throughout Denmark.
We purchase books, music, films, audiobooks and e-books in cooperation with our consultants who have comprehensive knowledge of the individual languages and cultural traditions of the various countries we buy from. Each year we purchase materials in around ten languages. Our languages of focus are: Arabic, Bosnian/Croatian/Serbian, Persian, Turkish, and Urdu. These languages make up 75-80 percent of our total acquisitions and loans.
Our core service is lending books, music, and films to Danish public libraries.
We primarily lends out books on a subscription basis. This scheme ensures that the public libraries receive an automatic, up to date, and free delivery of materials in the languages requested by the individual library. The materials are delivered and exchanged two to four times a year. Along with the subscription we send multilingual marketing materials, including post cards, folders etc. in order to support the public libraries’ services to the public.
Library users who have come to Denmark as refugees or immigrants, can borrow books and other materials in their own language at the local library. The library will in turn request it from SBCI, as individuals cannot borrow directly from SBCI, but should go through their local library.
The library user can either request books etc. at the local library or make an order at bibliotek.dk. bibliotek.dk is a database of the items found in the stock of the Danish public libraries. We have produced multilingual guides on how to order books etc. at bibliotek.dk.
We focus on advice and cross-disciplinary knowledge sharing and host a range of workshops and conferences on the topic of multilingual library services. We co-ordinate and manage projects. And we work with both Danish and international agents in order to further multicultural library services.
The world’s first digital library with online access to music, films and e-books from all over the world. The use of the database is limited to Danish citizens only. See verdensbiblioteket.dk.
The State and University Library runs the Homework Support Online (Lektier Online) project – a development project managed by representatives from the Ministry of Integration, the Ministry of Education, and the Ministry of Culture as well as by the State and University Library.
The idea behind Homework Support Online is that students and homework helpers meet online in real time via chat, web cams, file sharing, and a digital whiteboard.
The project is still being developed, and the goal is to roll out the scheme on a nationwide basis. Read more (in Danish).

The elevated creatinine level is a common symptom of IgA nephropathy as the kidney is damaged owing to the abnormal immune system, in which case, blood in urine, protein in urine, tiredness and other symptoms will occur. And thus, is it serious for IgA nephropathy with creatinine 4.88 and tiredness?
Clinically, creatinine 4.88 means various toxins and waste products have been deposited in the body increasingly as a result of the gravely damaged kidneys. Besides, the patients with creatinine 4.88 is in the end of stage 3 IgA nephropathy which is near kidney failure. However, it is a key time to reverse the illness conditions and return to the normal life.
As a matter of fact, the patients must protect their kidneys through diets, daily activities, prevention of cold or infection, etc. This can help the patients keep the illness conditions. For more information, please contact Online Doctor. In the following, I will introduce some natural treatments.
Toxin-Removing Therapy. It is born of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) for the purpose of replacing dialysis to cleanse the blood naturally and effectively. According to the clinical researches, Toxin-Removing Therapy manifests an excellent impact on remitting the discomforts, lowering creatinine level and promoting kidney to recover better.
Steaming Therapy. The external application of Chinese medicine is to fume the patients with the pneumatolytic molecular drug for adjusting the healthy qi and blood in the body. Later, some toxins will be carried out of body and the patients’ self-repairing capital is enhanced. Thereby, the kidney function will be improved bit by bit safely.
Besides, other natural treatments like Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy, Mai Kang Mixture, Foot Bath, Cycle Therapy, Moxibustion and so on can also achieve a good result of recovering certain kidney function spontaneously.
When the kidney is repaired, the tiredness will disappeared, the creatinine 4.88 will be dropped down, and the patients can live a high quality life.
