|Main Item
Spirit Orb
Saas Ko'sah Shrine, designated by the Trial name A Major Test of Strength, is an Ancient Shrine in Breath of the Wild.
Entrance to the Shrine
Saas Ko'sah Shrine is located in Hyrule Castle's Docks. It is initially buried underground and must be uncovered by lighting the large Torch located in the center of a ring of smaller torches. As Link enters the Ancient Shrine, he is greeted by the Shrine's Monk, Saas Ko'sah.[1]
Saas Ko'sah Shrine features a large, central chamber which acts as an arena. As Link approaches the center of the arena, a Guardian Scout IV wielding an Ancient Battle Axe++, a Guardian Sword++ and a Guardian Spear++ will rise from a pit to challenge Link. Unlike most Tests of Strength, Saas Ko'sah features no pillars. Instead, there are five metal blocks embedded into the floor, which can be lifted with Magnesis to protect Link from the Guardian Scout IV.
In order to reach Saas Ko'sah, Link must defeat the Guardian Scout IV to cause a portcullis separating him from the Monk to rise. Once Link has done so, Saas Ko'sah will give him a Spirit Orb for completing the Trial,[2] and afterwards will wish Link well before fading away.[3]
A Treasure Chest behind the portcullis contains a Flameblade.
- ↑ "To you who sets foot in this shrine... I am Saas Ko'sah. In the name of the Goddess Hylia, I offer this combat trial." — Saas Ko'sah (Breath of the Wild)
- ↑ "Your triumph over the test of strength subverts a prophecy of ruin. From the ashes of Hyrule, a hero rises. In the name of Goddess Hylia, I bestow upon you this Spirit Orb." — Saas Ko'sah (Breath of the Wild)
- ↑ "May the Goddess smile upon you." — Saas Ko'sah (Breath of the Wild)

THERE may not be a Wrexham Football Club for much longer.
The Welsh club is facing extinction if a solution cannot be found to its current crisis.
Yesterday Wrexham applied to the High Court for an administration order, with the Inland Revenue set to issue winding up proceedings for an unpaid debt of #800,000. It's a sticking plaster rather than a cure for the club's ills.
The problems have arisen after Alex Hamilton, a property developer, bought the club and its historic home.
Now, Hamilton has served notice on Wrexham to leave the Racecourse Ground by July. It is thought he will then try to sell it on for around #6million. Hamilton has not found the club an alternative ground and shows no sign of doing so.
It's hard to say for certain what Hamilton's precise motives are as he doesn't go in for public statements, but it seems pretty certain his only reason for getting involved in the League One club was to make a quick buck. If he is successful, football will be the poorer.
The Racecourse Ground was sold to the club in 2002, only for the ownership to be transferred to another of Hamilton's companies within hours. These do not sound like the actions of someone who has his football club's best interests at heart, to me.
On the face of it, this might not seem to have any relevance to anyone who does not support Wrexham. But it does.
All football clubs are faced with this sort of threat.
For some reason, many of them seem to attract pretty unsavoury figures, perhaps lured by the prestige of owning the local club, maybe encouraged by the fact that no matter how badly they are run, there is always someone to haul them out of the brown stuff.
Not since Aldershot has a Football League club actually been allowed to go to the wall.
It's unlikely Wrexham will, either. But if football fans apathetically sit back and wait for a white knight, he won't appear.
They may only be a lowly League One club, but as events at Old Trafford have shown recently, it can happen anywhere. And, if United fans had allowed it to, it probably would have happened there already.
If Wrexham are allowed to go to the wall, predators such as Hamilton will only be encouraged to try it on themselves.
Possibly with Liverpool - who were apparently considering an offer from one of the dodgiest prime ministers on the planet this summer - maybe at Everton,> who will be open to offers if the prospective deal with Fortress Sports Fund fails to materialise, or perhaps at Tranmere or Chester - clubs which because of their uncertain financial positions have to sit up and listen whenever a sugar daddy comes calling.
FANS United - a group which tries to highlight cases of clubs in crisis - is urging any fans not planning on going to a match on Saturday to turn up at the Racecourse Ground in their club's colours for Saturday's league game against Bristol City (3.00pm kick-off).
Chester have no game that day, while Liverpool are at Middlesbrough. Those Tranmere fans not making the trip to Blackpool are also asked to go along.
And those fans who will be supporting their own side that day are asked to show their solidarity in a different way - by "wearing red for Wrexham".
If Evertonians> can't bear to do that at Goodison on Saturday, then at least carry a red card - and stand up for the first 15 seconds of the game.
Any support will be gratefully received and hopefully serve as a warning to those unscrupulous characters looking to take your club for a ride to think again.
Possibly not. But it's bound to do more good than trawling around B&Q with your missus this Saturday.

What The Heck Is Idea Marketing
Internet Marketing | Search Engine Marketing | Keyword Marketing | Inbound Marketing | Gorilla Marketing | Idea Marketing
People talk about so many different types of marketing today. It is hard to know what they all mean and how to best leverage them to build a solid pipeline of potential customers. Business owners need to at least understand how or if they fit into their overall marketing strategy.
According to Marketing: Real People, Real Choices by Michael Solomon
"Idea Marketing are the marketing activities that seek to gain market share for a concept. A philosophy, a belief or an issue by using elements of the marketing mix to create or change a target market's attitude or behavior."
It is often difficult generating the ideas on a consistent basis. To ensure you can, here are three things all business owners should know about idea marketing:
Marketing requires you generate ideas
It's not all about data and analytics and search engine optimization. They do need attention but they haven't replaced branding and positioning and conveying ideas. Marketing in 2015 may look a lot different from traditional marketing, but it's still the same at the core. It is fueled by ideas.
According to a recent Entrepreneur article, you have to focus on both numbers and ideas:
"Marketing has long been a creative craft. Despite the growing need for data-backed strategies, success still demands clever, thought-out messaging and brand positioning. Certainly, CMOs are getting wildly excited over the prospect of quantifiable evidence backing up marketing's impact on larger business goals. But that doesn't mean that marketing managers or content creators can ignore the industry's creative demands. It's not an either-or scenario. It's a "both" scenario."
Content creation requires a steady flow of ideas
One way businesses try to position their brand is by generating a steady flow of ideas. To practice this, you need to fully invest in content creation.
This may not seem difficult at first, but content creation requires a steady flow of creative ideas. If you write a few good blogs one week but are inactive the following month, then your marketing campaign won't be successful.
Many businesses can't keep up the flow
This is exactly where most businesses fail in regard to their idea marketing campaigns. Maintaining a consistent flow of creative ideas is hard, and it requires determination and perseverance.
Businesses should know what they're getting into before they start practicing idea marketing. If you predict challenges concerning content creation, then you can plan ahead. In this case, you would just have to outsource your content creation in order to keep up with your schedule.
As long as businesses can keep up with the flow of content creation, they'll be able to succeed with their marketing campaigns.

Gloucestershire Young Musician of the Year
Congratulations to Hannah Brooks-Hughes who has won the Gloucestershire Young Musician of the Year competition, which took place on Tuesday 7th March at Pittville Pump Room in Cheltenham.
At 13 years old, Hannah was the youngest musician in the competition and was up against four other finalists, aged between 16 and 20 years old, on the cello, violin, flute and alto saxophone. Hannah, who is taught by Matthew Denton and Tasmin Little, successfully won both the awards available at the competition; one based on the judges' decision and the other decided by the audience vote.
The competition was judged by Meurig Bowen, Director of the Cheltenham Music Festival, Simon Haram, Professor of Saxophone at the Royal Academy of Music and Lucy Gould, who holds the position of Principal 2nd Violin of the Chamber Orchestra of Europe.
As part of her prize, Hannah was presented with the Hewitt-Jones Trophy, a cheque for £500 and will have the honour of performing with the Gloucestershire Symphony Orchestra, as well as with the Gloucestershire Youth Orchestra, at the Cheltenham Music Festival and at the Carducci Festival.
Hannah said "I am delighted to have received the Gloucestershire Young Musician of the Year 2017 award. The whole evening was really enjoyable and the atmosphere was amazing."
Mrs Charlotte Oosthuizen, Head of Lower College at Cheltenham Ladies' College, said "Mr Hawley and I were delighted to go to the final to support Hannah. When she played, the audience sat enthralled by the exquisite sound that filled the Pittville Pump Room and the applause at the end said it all. She did herself, her family and College proud!"

At every San Diego Photo Club Meeting, our Club does a "MemberShare" after our speaker's presentation. This is where Club members can share up to 5 images with the rest of the audience. If you are a visitor, please feel free to enjoy the images. You can sign up for the Club so your images are included in the next month's Member Share.
How To Transmit
We are using Dropbox file requests since the end of 2017. As a result, a Dropbox account is not required anymore to transmit your images for our MemberShare. Please refer to the Dropbox help article about file requests if you want to know more.
- Look for the "File Request" link in the invitation email, or in the blog post for the meeting
- Deadline is Wednesday before the meeting!
- There will be a new file request for every meeting
- When you click on the link, the Dropbox website will open in your browser
- Click on the blue "Choose Files" button and send 5 files from your computer
- When the upload is complete, Dropbox will ask for your name and email address
- Dropbox will add your name as a prefix to the files so we can easily identify them
- We will receive a notification that you uploaded the files.
Hey presto! 🙂
IMPORTANT: the Dropbox File Requests are unique for each MemberShare (and other occasions, such as the monthly photo quest). We try to mark the individual file requests as "expired" as soon as possible so that they can't be used anymore, but please, DO NOT use one specific file request to submit images for a different purpose. Thanks!
PLEASE NOTE: we close the Dropbox File Request Wednesday evening before the meeting to give us time to prepare the presentation. Do not wait until the last minute to submit your images!
How to Prepare
Please do not send more than 5 images. We often have enthusiastic participation and we want everybody to be able to participate in the time we have allocated.
Our projector shows images in a 16:9 version of WUXGA (1920 x 1080 pixels). You don't need to downsize larger images if you send via Dropbox. Don't worry about color space (sRGB or Adobe RGB) or DPI.
You will have approximately 10 – 20 seconds to speak about each image as they are presented to the audience.
We are a photo club and interest group of the Sierra Club San Diego – please share your original photographs with us. Digital artwork and illustrations may be rejected.
Showing your images to the group is a wonderful experience and we highly encourage you to participate.

Maine's Poaching Laws Are Far From Toothless
With so much land, wilderness, and wildlife in the state, Maine is very concerned with how people hunt and fish inside its borders. If the state didn't make extensive regulations and enforce them as much as possible, people from all over the region would come to Maine and hunt and fish until there wasn't anything left.
That's why the Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife has made rules for hunting and fishing, such as when and where you can and can't hunt, and how much you can take. Violating these laws is poaching.
Poaching is a serious problem, both for those who do it, and for those who don't. Poachers, if caught, can face serious penalties, and can lose their hunting or fishing registrations, sometimes forever. Landowners and other members of the public who don't poach suffer, as well – every deer that a poacher kills is one less that can be seen and enjoyed while on a hike through the woods.
One way of poaching is to hunt out of season. The penalties for out-of-season hunting in Maine are some of the highest in the country, and depend on the kind of animal being hunted:
Crime Class
Jail Time
Bear, Deer, or Moose
D Misdemeanor
Minimum of 3 days for first offense, and 10 days for subsequent offenses
Minimum $1,000
Wild Turkey
E Misdemeanor
Minimum $500
Another common way of poaching is to exceed your bag limit, which limits the number of a certain animal that you can hunt in a year. Again, Maine has some of the toughest laws in the country when it comes to poaching, and exceeding your bag limit is no exception:
Bag Limit
Crime Class for Exceeding Limit
Jail Time
D Misdemeanor
Maximum of 180 days
Minimum $1,000
D Misdemeanor
Minimum of 3 days for first offense, and 10 days for subsequent offenses
Minimum $1,000
E Misdemeanor
Minimum $500, plus $500 for each wild turkey above the bag limit
To better enforce these laws, the Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife, with fewer than one hundred rangers to oversee the entirety of the state, has enlisted the public's help to report poachers. Those who report illegal hunting in the state of Maine can be rewarded with up to $1,000 if the information leads to an arrest for a hunting or a fishing violation. Rewards of up to $2,000 can be handed out if a report leads to an arrest for introducing non-native fish into Maine's waters. This money comes from Maine Operation Game Thief, a non-profit organization that works with the Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife.
About William Bly
William graduated from the University of Maine School of Law in 2004. During law school, he interned in the Cumberland County District Attorney's Office in Portland, Maine. His experience looking at cases from a prosecutor's point of view has proven to be an invaluable aid to his clients as he defends them against some of the same prosecutorial tactics that he witnessed as an intern.
If you enjoy the outdoors in the Rangeley and Moosehead regions, you might find him there fly fishing for brook trout during the summer.
A Word from One of Our Clients
Mr. Bly is a superb lawyer! He is without a doubt one of the finest criminal defense lawyers in the state of Maine. He handled my son's case with sincerity and professionalism, and the results, "All Charges Dismissed!" If you need a defense attorney, he is simply remarkable.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What are some of the general restrictions on hunting in Maine?
Just about anyone who hunts wild animals in Maine, including wild birds, needs a hunting license (certain narrow exceptions exist). The type of license you need depends on:
- Your age
- Whether you are a Maine resident
- What type of hunting authorization you seek
- Other factors
You also need specific permits to engage in most hunting activities.
Will a hunting license suspension or restriction in one state affect my legal hunting rights in another state?
It probably will, depending on the state. Maine is a member of the Interstate Wildlife Violator Compact (IWVC). If your license has been suspended in a member state, for example, your right to receive or maintain a license in Maine will be affected. Likewise, if your license has been suspended in Maine, it will probably affect your hunting rights in other IWVC member states.
What is involved in taking an outdoor safety course?
An outdoor safety course, required to obtain a first-time Maine hunting license, requires an investment of six to twelve hours of classroom time. Sports clubs and civic groups that are authorized by the state government often sponsor outdoor safety courses for aspiring hunters.
What is a junior hunting license?
Children under 17 must obtain a junior hunting license to hunt legally in Maine. All hunting must take place under the supervision of an adult (parent, guardian or someone authorized by the child's parent or guardian) who has taken an outdoor safety course.
Can I hunt on my own land without a hunting license?
You can hunt on your own land without a hunting license as long as:
- you are a Maine resident;
- you own the land you are hunting on (or are an immediate family member of the landowner);
- the land parcel is at least 10 acres in size; and
- the land is used exclusively for agriculture.
How can I know if hunting (including fishing and trapping) is restricted or prohibited on a particular site?
Hunting, fishing, or trapping on a posted site without authorization can subject you to criminal trespass charges. The landowner restricting these activities must:
- Place a vertical "OSHA Safety Purple" stripe along the property line, at no more than 100 feet apart and inconspicuous locations
- Post signs or stripes at all vehicular entrances from public roadways
- Signs must indicate that entry is prohibited or prohibited without permission, or that certain activities (such as moose hunting, for example) are prohibited
What are Maine's registration requirements for bears, deer, moose and wild turkeys?
Once you kill one of these animals, you must remain with it until it is registered. You must register the animal in your name at the first open registration station you encounter, within 18 hours of killing it. The officer will attach a registration seal, and you must leave it attached until the animal is packaged and processed. A small registration fee is required.
What is a leashed dog tracking license?
Tracking a wounded deer, moose, or bear with dogs requires a dog tracking license. Holders of this license may charge a fee to others for dog tracking services, even without a guide's license.
What are some of Maine's restrictions on hunting equipment?
Certain types of weapons may not be used for hunting, and certain types of weapons may only be used for hunting certain types of animals. You may not use an automatic firearm for any type of hunting, for example. It is also illegal to hunt with silencers or explosive bullets. Many other restrictions exist.
Contact Maine's Poaching Lawyer Serving Biddeford, Bangor, Saco, Portland and Augusta
Because they're so extensive, Maine's conservation laws, including those regulating hunting and fishing, can be difficult to understand. Call the law office at (207) 571-8146, if you have questions or concerns regarding your hunting or fishing permit, or if you are facing charges concerning the violation of Maine's conservation laws.

I have lived in London now for 12 years. 12 years, people. And in that 12 years I have been on the hunt for real American buffalo wings in London. Everywhere I went it seemed everyone had their own twist on the traditional buffalo wing, but no one in London had managed to get it quite right.
Well, ladies and gentlemen, I am pleased to report that I tripped upon real American buffalo wings while out and about in Shoreditch this week - at The Orange Buffalo. No lie, this is the real deal. The sauce, the chicken, even the blue cheese, is just like you'd find in a sports bar anywhere in America. Only this isn't America, these buffalo wings are served out of a food truck behind Truman Brewery in the East End of London. Here's the even crazier thing to report - the food truck is run by a man from Yorkshire.
So here's what you need to now -The Orange Buffalo wings are awesomely priced at £6 a box - totally filling and piping hot as they are made fresh to order. They are spicy with the original sauce ,but you can have your London Buffalo Wings made evens spicier, if you dare! Oh, and don't forget the curly fries with American fry spices. Don't worry about cash as they take card on sight. Happy Buffalo Wing splurging!

text: "Romeo and Juliet before Father Lawrence" by Karl Becker'In Memory of Romeo and Juliet' by Victor Tyne The Society January 17, 2019 Beauty, Culture, For Educators, High School Submissions, Poetry 7 Comments These twain ephem'ral lives were fraught with woes When they, a boy and girl in morn of life, Defied their due inheritance as foes And chased a star-crossed love as man and wife. Belovéd by their family, kin and friends, To honest, faithful vow of love they swore; Walked fortune's path to meet their self-willed ends That ended ancient hate and true peace bore. Each fain would drink the pois'nous sip of death Or by the sting of dagger sharp depart, For entering the grave's eternal rest Proved better than to live with broken heart. The sword of fatal love spared neither child, But through their deaths were households reconciled.

Making the Most of SSD Performance in Windows 8
Although Windows 8 versions do a much better job of accommodating and adjusting to solid state drives (SSDs) used for system/boot and other purposes as compared to earlier Windows versions, there are still certain ways to improve upon their default behaviors. As I recently worked through Les Tokar's excellent article at TheSSDReview.com entitled "The SSD Optimization Guide Ultimate Windows 8 (and Win7) Edition" (5 pp, 4/23/2013), however, I realized that there are numerous things that sysadmins can and probably should do the extract the best possible performance benefits from using SSDs. The results can be beneficial: I squeezed an extra 15% in performance from an OCZ Vertex 4 system/boot drive simply by working my way through the list of 21 tips (18 or 19 of them offer substantive "do-this" instructions) around which this guide is built. I suspect that other Windows-heads charged with the care and feeding of systems with SSDs installed can do as well or better by doing likewise.
I skipped three of the steps in the guide as I worked my way through them in numerical order. Two of those I omitted because I didn't want to implement them on my primary production system: Tip 12 asked me to turn off Windows Search (which I find useful on my old-fashioned data drives, all of them conventional hard disks); Tip 19 (against which Tokar himself inveighs) asks users to tweak BIOS settings to turn off CPU states that produce higher performance at the cost of reliability or system stability. The third, covered in Tip 10, explains how to tweak multi-boot Windows systems for performance gains (my production system only boots Windows 8.1 Update 1). At the end of my efforts CrystalDiskMark 3.0.3 (64-bit version) produced the following not-at-all-shabby results:
Values shown here don't match those for the latest SATA3 or PCI-e SSDs, but they aren't bad, either.
I have to believe that working through the list of tips on Windows 8 systems with SSDs installed will be beneficial in many if not most such cases. That's what makes Tokar's Guide worth consulting. Check it out!

Progesterone Cream | Natural Progesterone Creams
When hormones are in balance, you look great and you feel great. You have a high energy level, healthy skin and hair, healthy sex drive, abilty to have a sound sleep and functional immune and digestive systems.
When hormones become unbalanced, you feel "foggy" and have mood swings, hot flashes, insomnia, fatigue, lack of sex drive, dry skin and hair, thinning hair, weight gain, suppressed immune function and accelerated aging. These symptoms are your body's way of saying it needs help.
We should probably go over what exactly Progesterone is and why many women need it. During a woman's child-bearing years, progesterone is produced by a woman's reproductive system. Stress, nutrition, age and other factors cause the body to decrease progesterone production. Progesterone is essentially the opposite of estrogen and helps balance overall hormone levels before and after menopause. In most cases, but not all, Progesterone is recommended for perimenopausal, menopausal and postmenopausal women to balance estrogen levels.
Natural progesterone cream can correct the hormonal imbalance and give a woman back her energy level and overall feeling of better health. Those especially at higher risks of breast and reproductive cancers benefit from progesterone treatment, as it helps to balance out high estrogen levels. Progesterone cream also stimulates bone-building and helps protect against bone diseases such as osteoporosis.
Quality of life can be vastly improved by balancing your hormone levels with progesterone cream.

Taking on the personal injury chancers
I'm as mad as hell, and I'm not going to take it anymore.
This story starts about a year ago. Minding my own business as I sat in my parked car, I watched as another driver attempted to drive into the space next to me, misjudged it, and sideswiped my front wheel arch. My car rocked, and the other driver, possibly genuinely, denied any knowledge that he'd hit me at all, even when I showed him the marks and my paint on his bumper.
The point is that it was a gentle rub, rather than anything that deserves to be called a crash or even an impact.
So when I got home, I contacted my insurers, got the car booked into a body shop, and it was all sorted out without any impact on my no-claims discount. But it couldn't be that easy, could it?
Shortly after this, I started to get a lot of calls to my mobile, wanting to talk to my wife about her recent car accident. That was curious. She hadn't had an accident, and it wasn't her phone. The only possible explanation I could come up with (they wouldn't talk to me) was that they were fishing for an injury based on her booking the car in and giving my mobile as a contact number for various reasons. I certainly couldn't imagine any genuine reason for the calls.
After a while, the calls started to change. Now they were asking for me, calling either my mobile or my home number, and clearly knew a lot about my case. They knew my car, and they knew what had happened and when. Some even seemed to know who insured me, and claimed to be representing them. All of them wanted the same thing – an injury.
It didn't need to be much of an injury, they told me. Maybe I hadn't even noticed it at all at the time. Possibly a slight stiffness around the shoulders? There was a child in the car, wasn't there? Can you be certain that they haven't suffered from it? Just go to a doctor, get them to say that you're feeling a bit stiff, and we can make sure you get the money you deserve.
But I don't deserve anything, I told them, time after time – I haven't suffered any injury. To claim for such a thing would be fraud. Maybe you were injured and you just haven't noticed, they smoothly replied. And the money's already been allocated for you and set aside, it just needs to be claimed. I came to recognise all their tricks.
My favourite was the ones who phoned up, promising to do something about "all the calls you've been getting". It turned out that their solution was to make a personal injury claim. Because apparently, my case (with these "funds set aside") has been placed on a list of unresolved claims, and will stay there for three years unless the money's claimed.
Can't you just remove me from the list? No, sadly not. Where does this list come from? Uh, I'm not completely sure, I don't deal with that side of things. And so on.
I've made a few reports to the Telephone Preference Service about these unsolicited calls, as I'm registered with them, but even if I had the time and inclination to report each one so that they can be slapped on the wrist, most have the sense to withhold their number and carefully avoid giving their company's full name. And the real source of the problem is whoever gave them my number in the first place. That's who I want to go after.
This isn't acceptable, and not just because I'm being phoned up all the time, but because the system could almost have been designed to rip off ordinary consumers. I'm being encouraged, begged, to come up with a fraudulent claim which would increase the cost of everyone's insurance. My reward for being honest is constant and unstoppable harassment.
Just think about how this industry works financially. I've been phoned up by these people more times than I can count, and that's ignoring all the times they called when I was out. They've put hours into this, but they're obviously successful enough (and take enough of a cut) to make this behaviour pay. Even without considering the payments to the actual "victims", that must add a huge burden to the insurance industry, and every single car driver ends up paying the salaries of these chancers in the form of higher premiums.
No more. I'm standing against this, and I'm looking for support. I've written to my MP, and I'm going to stick at it until I get some results. This needs to stop.

Indeed, such things are a joke. Industry, money and the pithing of the human spirit.
James Booker says :
Getting people to lie about having a PI to try to get some cash is a horrible thing, there are people out there who genuinely need those services and they would loose out.
I think I read somewhere recently that the UK is the Whiplash Claim capital of the world, not the claim to fame that we were thinking of really…

Any martial artist who's worth his salt will tell you the same thing: 99% of being an expert is nailing down the basics. As my old instructor liked to joke, "Anything above yellow belt is just for looking fancy." The same is true elsewhere in life. Establish a basis, a solid foundation, a routine, and the rest will follow. Try and run before you can walk, however, and you'll just fall flat on your face. Game is no different.
The number one thing you need to do to improve your dating prospects is to regularly approach women. That's it; just go out and speak to them. Fancy push-pull dialogue, clever openers, understanding kino—all of that stuff is useful, but if you don't approach women in the first place it's never going to work.
With that in mind it's worth revisiting the basics of communication; it's worth detailing the step-by-step process which we all use whenever we converse with anyone—whether it be with one of the few remaining North American women who's worth speaking to, your boss at work, or a client you're cold calling. Each situation might be tactically unique, but strategically they're all the same, and since communication is such a vital skill it's worth understanding what the basics actually are.
The Art Of The Sale
I've worked as a salesman on and off for most of my life. Telemarketing, door-to-door, business-to-business—even a bit of retail. Cold calling is a tough skill to master, but I managed to make a living off of it for many years. The secret? I always returned to the basics, and made sure I was getting them right.
Sales can be summed up in six steps:
- Introduction
- Description
- Emphasis
- Question
- Rebuttal
- Conclusion
In practice they all seem to flow together, creating a seamless whole, but if you've ever seen a sales script written out, the individual elements become obvious. Often each portion will be separated by a paragraph break. In fact, these six steps appear in other places, as well—not just in the bull pen. Consider, for instance:
- Establish the setting
- Inciting incident
- Rising tensions
- Low point
- Climax
- Denouement
The six steps that salesmen use to hawk a product are functionally identical to the six-steps in a narrative arc; they're also reflected in essay writing, classroom lectures, contract negotiations, you name it. These aren't merely technical techniques used by sales experts, these six steps are the primordial basis for all human communication. They are the dance of life. If you want to communicate effectively, then you need to understand how they work, and why each one of them is necessary.
The Six Steps Analyzed
Who are you and how do I know you?
Any time you initiate conversation—whether you're knocking on somebody's door, bringing up an issue to your boss, or meeting a girl at a coffee shop—you need to establish who you are to them and why they should care.
Human beings spend most of their time living in their own head. They worry about how others think of them, they muse on past memories, they reflect on the local environment, but what they're not doing is thinking of others. This isn't to say that they're all selfish (though there is an element of that); it's mainly to point out that they're not mind readers!
When you initiate a conversation in real life, it isn't like a text message which is stored in somebody's inbox until they have time to analyze it; you need to quickly establish who you are in relation to them. You need to employ the appropriate body language—smiling if you're friendly, stern if there's a problem that needs addressing—and inform them of who you are, and how the two of you are related. We all have multiple relationships with everybody in our lives, and it's important to define which relationship you're talking about right off the bat. For example:
"Hey boss, it's Mick from the IT Department, (there's an IT issue that needs to be addressed),"
"Hey boss, it's Mick, the guy on your payroll, (I need to talk to you about pay issues)."
"Hey honey, you're looking sexy, (I want to discuss our love life),"
"Hey honey, I've been reviewing our finances, (we need to discuss the mortgage)."
An effective introduction allows them to establish the correct frame of mind for dealing with the issue you're about to bring up. Remember – people are busy worrying about their own stuff, and the more of their own thinking that you can do for them, the easier of a time they'll have understanding you.
What's the problem?
The second step is where you address the issue at hand. In many cases this is obvious: "Hey boss, it's Mick from the IT Department, we need to talk about the Cisco Routers," but when it comes to interpersonal communications people will often assume that the other person knows what they're talking about.
"Honey, I'm upset…"
"About what? The weather? The national debt? Our gay, autistic son? WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM ME WOMAN???"
Notice that in the above there was no Introduction or Description—merely the next step, Emphasis. Once you've established who it is that's speaking, you need to immediately get to the point; failing to do so frustrates and infuriates the person you're speaking to.
Is this important?
Once again, remember that other people are too busy dealing with their own issues to worry about yours; they aren't mind readers. If something's important—to the future of your business, the future of the family, or if it's just a really cool vacuum cleaner that you're selling—then you need to tell the person why it's important. If you don't provide the emphasis, then they'll assume that you're just making small talk, or cathartically venting, or just chatting to hear your own voice. "Boss, those Cisco Routers? They control the Debit machines, not just the Internet."
This is where you provide the energy that will propel the conversation forward; if you fail to do so, the other person will remain indifferent, they won't realize that what you're saying really matters.
What do you think?
Other people aren't sitting around waiting for you to walk up to them, which is why you needed the first three steps; the fourth step involves you being empathetic.
Since you initiated the contact, it's up to you to consider the other person's thoughts and feelings. Ask them questions; Are you familiar with this problem? Have you given any thought to this issue? How do you feel about this? Provide them an opening to respond to you; assess their thoughts and feelings so that you can calibrate your own response. Involve them in the dialogue as an active participant.
Don't dictate to others; dialogue with them.
I'm just not interested, bub.
As door-to-door salesmen like to say, "Every 'No' gets you closer to a 'Yes!'"
The whole point of initiating dialogue is that there is already a disagreement in place; after all, if there wasn't, you could both continue on as you were. The reason you're conversing is to introduce the disagreement, analyze it, and negotiate it. By questioning the other person you gave them a chance to bring up their concerns, you gave them a chance to explain why they don't think it's a problem; the rebuttal is your chance to acknowledge their argument, and provide a counter.
"I understand what you're saying, but I wouldn't bring this up if it weren't important."
Acknowledge their response to your question, and use it to form your rebuttal; then go back to step four and repeat, until…
So it's all settled then?
Revisit the initial problem, and restate the conclusion that you arrived at. In sales, this is known as "Closing"; getting their signature, reiterating what they're signing up for, and ensuring that they're happy with the final result. As one of my old sergeants used to say, "First you tell them what you're going to learn, then you learn 'em, then you tell them what they just learned." The movie needs the denouement after the climax, the happy ending, and the conversation needs to revisit the results it achieved. This ensure clarity for all parties, and helps settle any emotions or frustrations that were brought up in the process.
The Six Steps And Game
- "Hi, do you know where I can find…?" I'm just a friendly fellow on the street, who needs help finding something.
- "…the nearest pet store?" I'm looking for a pet store; I like animals, you can trust me.
- "I'm thinking of buying a pet for my friend." I need to find a pet store so I can do something kind.
- "Do you think buying a pet for someone else is a good idea?" That's what I'm all about — what are you all about?
- "Oh really? Well, would you say…" Dialogue initiated; go back to step 4 with a new question.
- "I'll call you this weekend!" Close it out – future relations now have a solid footing.
Each step is necessary. Back when I was doing sales, if I ran into difficulties it was usually because I had skipped over or muddled one of them. A basic rule of diagnostics is that you eliminate the simple explanations before looking for the advanced explanations, and if you're running into difficulties in a market you should start by re-examining yourself before attributing your problems to some sort of external event. By breaking down communication this way—and getting a sense of where it was along the process that the conversation started to falter—you can correct your mistakes more quickly to help improve your outcomes.
As I mentioned in my video Charisma for Introverts, communication is a vital skill throughout all of our life, and if you can nail down game then there's no reason you can't apply the same skills elsewhere. The tactics may be different, but the strategy remains the same.

Today is the election day in Brazil.
I couldn't vote because I'm registered to vote in my hometown, so I had to present a justification for that.
I wouldn't know who to vote for anyway.
We have many problems but the worst is not the government.
The worst problems we have, like corruption, have strong roots in our culture, due to the lack of consciousness of our people.
Unfortunately most people here wait for the government to give them what they need and, of course, they don't get it. Those are people who are not aware of their rights and are not able to improve their lives by themselves. They are not able to focus on what they can make and create to improve things around. They only expect to be given what they need.
It's a ridiculous country, with a powerful elite used to 'defend' their interests through corruption.
Those are problems no government can really solve, unless people change their minds.
That's what I think.

I've just purchased an apartment. I'm very happy and also very stressed about taxes to pay and things to pack.
The already small apartment I live is now filled with empty boxes waiting for things to be packed.
I decided to start with the papers and documents, so I can get rid of what isn't necessary anymore, to start a more organized or at least less chaotic life in the new apartment.
While getting rid of old stuff I realize most things I worry won't be important in five years or even less.
Very few things matter after a time. And some will always matter to me.

Skin Preparation for the Valentine's Day
There is no difficulty to buy a present for your warmest one. There is always a chose. The point is to distinguish what you want for him. But the preparation of the main present – You, should be done in advance as everyone wants to look fascinating on the Valentine's Day.
Nothing decorates better than well-groomed and healthy skin. And if you come home later, you are tired, spend at least 10 minutes a day for it. You can easily refine your skin (and your look in general) with home made healers.
- Sauerkraut mask for all skin types. Grind the sauerkraut until you get creamy texture and apply it onto the face for 110-20 minutes. If your skin is dry then rub it a bit with vegetable oil. If your skin is oily, don't do this. Rinse it off with cool water.
- Curds provide amazing results. Mix up curds and kefir (sour cream or milk) and put it onto the skin. Rinse off in 20 min with cold water.
- If your skin turned pale, dehydrated, then this easy mask will be its true healer. Mix together 1 tbsp mayonnaise, 1 tee spoon honey, 1 tee spoon lemon juice or apple vinegar and castor oil. Apply the mixture onto the face skin for 20 minutes. Rinse if off.
- And as there few days left before the official love day, let's find some time for our eyes care. To get rid of the under-the-eyes-swelling and circles, take 2 tbsp parsley and 2 tbsp sage and add 1 pt boiling water. Let it draw and divide for two glasses. Cool the first glass to the room temperature and put the other in to the fridge. Apply lotion from the glasses by turn.
- And the last tip. Lashes care. Put onto the eyelashes a bit of hair conditioner every evening. The effect is almost instantaneous. Lashes grow longer in 2-4 days. And if you form a habit to practice it regularly, then thick and luxurious lashes are guaranteed.
As you see, the recipes are very simple, but the special attention you'll notice without fail.
"You are the most beautiful!" – he'll say. That's true!

Obama: We will rebuild this region
New Orleans – President Barack Obama jetted to this hurricane battered city Thursday to deliver a fiery call to action, vowing to rebuild to the Gulf Coast area as a boisterous crowd chanted "yes we can!"
"I promise you this," Obama said during his first visit to the city as president. "Together we will rebuild this region and we will build it stronger than before."
Story Continued Below
Although the trip was met with criticism from some local officials and members of the audience, who said that the Obama Administration hasn't done enough to help with ongoing rebuilding efforts, Obama struck an optimistic tone, declaring, "We are committed to making sure that a disaster like Katrina does not happen again."
" Katrina may have swept through this city, but it did not destroy this community, and that is because of you – the people of New Orleans," Obama said. "You deserve leaders in Washington who are willing to work as hard as you are."
Noting that it has been four years since the Hurricane struck, Obama said that the damage of Katrina was not just caused by nature, but by a "failure of government."
"I saw the consequences of this failure during my visits here as a Senator and then as a candidate," Obama said. Taking office, he said, one of his key priorities was disaster recovery. "I wanted to get it right and I wanted us to be ready," Obama said.
But during a question and answer period, one man in the audience asked why federal disaster reimbursements remained so small and slow.
"I expected as much from the Bush administration, but why are we still being nickeled and dimed in our recovery?" he asked. Obama said that his administration was "working as hard as we can, as quickly as we can."
"I know since a lot of these problems have been going on since Katrina, people understandably feel impatient," he said. "On the other hand, a lot of these things are not going to be fixed tomorrow."
The heavily partisan Democratic crowd of just over 1,000 – which the president described as "feisty" – booed when Obama introduced Louisiana's Republican Governor Bobby Jindal at the town hall meeting, prompting the president to joke: "Bobby, if it makes you feel any better, I get that all the time." Although they have their political differences, Obama said, Jindal deserves credit for being "a hard workin' man."
But Obama did take a veiled partisan jab, noting: "I'm proud that my FEMA director, Craig Fugate, has 25 years of experience in disaster management in Florida, a state that has known its share of hurricanes." Left unspoken was the name of Bush FEMA director Michael "Heckuva Job" Brown, and the drubbing the Bush administration took for its slow response to Katrina.
Obama's trip was billed more as a mini-listening tour than an attempt to bring Federal largesse to the beleaguered region. And the presence of Jindal – who is often mentioned as a possible presidential candidate in 2012, lent it a bipartisan feel.
Separately, three of Obama's cabinet secretaries flew to New Orleans Thursday to fan out across the city for their own recovery-related events.
"The president is keeping his promise," Housing and Urban Development Secretary Shaun Donovan told POLITICO. "It was a commitment that what you would see from this administration was a fundamentally different kind of response." While in town, Donovan visited a ground breaking ceremony for the B.W. Cooper housing development, a $142 million effort to resurrect a public housing community that was vacated after Katrina.
Secretary of Education Arne Duncan visited John McDonogh High to talk to high school seniors along with Rep. Joseph Cao (R-La.). And Department of Homeland Security Secretary Napolitano stopped at the Vessel Traffic Center, a Coast Guard-operated facility responsible for managing 20 miles of waterways on the Lower Mississippi River.

INDIAN COUNTRY INVESTIGATIONS AND PROSECUTIONS, 2011-2012: Annual Report to Congress by the U.S. Department of Justice
July 4, 2013 Comments Off on INDIAN COUNTRY INVESTIGATIONS AND PROSECUTIONS, 2011-2012: Annual Report to Congress by the U.S. Department of Justice
The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) recently issued its first annual report on Indian Country Investigations and Prosecutions as required by the Tribal Law and Order Act of 2010. The Tribal Law and Order Act (TLOA) is broad legislation designed to improve and enhance law enforcement in Indian country. Among many other measures to improve law enforcement, the TLOA seeks to hold federal agencies accountable by requiring the Department of Justice to file an annual report with Congress on criminal investigations and prosecutions in Indian country.[1]
The DOJ's report, which covers only criminal matters reported to federal (and not tribal or state) agencies, reflects the increased priority placed on law enforcement efforts in Indian country and provides data showing an increase in the criminal caseload of federal agencies of 54% between 2009 and 2012. The report's executive summary sets forth several major points based on the data:
- The FBI referred a "substantial majority" of Indian country criminal investigations to the U.S. Attorney's Office (USAO) for prosecution.
- The USAO prosecuted a "substantial majority" of the Indian country criminal cases it opened.
- When the FBI did not refer a case to the USAO (but instead closed its investigation), the most common reason was the FBI's conclusion that no federal crime had occurred.
- When the FBI investigated a death, but closed the investigation without a referral to the USAO for prosecution, the primary reason was a conclusion that the death was due to an accident, suicide, or natural causes.
- In 2011, the USAO declined to prosecute just under 37% of Indian country criminal cases submitted to it for prosecution. In 2012, the USAO declined to prosecute approximately 31% of Indian country cases submitted. The two most common reasons for declining to prosecute were insufficient evidence (61% of cases in 2011 and 52% in 2012) and referral to another prosecuting authority (19% in 2011 and 24% in 2012).
A copy of the DOJ's report is available here.
For more information on the legal services offered by the Law Office of James D. Griffith, P.L.L.C., please call (480) 275-8738 or use the "Contact Us" page on our website.
[1] Other steps to improve law enforcement under the TLOA include increased training and funding for Bureau of Indian Affairs and tribal law enforcement officers, improved communication and coordination of efforts between the U.S. Attorney's Office and tribal officials, increased sentencing authority granted to tribal courts, deputization of tribal prosecutors that allows prosecution in federal court, and prevention and treatment programs focusing on at-risk youth and drug and alcohol problems.

As you know, enterprise IT conversation over the past year have often centered upon the open-source Kubernetes container orchestration system. In fact, Kubernetes has emerged as the key technology -- and even primary platform -- of cloud migrations for a wide variety of organizations.
Kubernetes is critical to forward-looking enterprises that continue to push their IT infrastructures toward maximum functionality, scalability, and flexibility.
As they do so, IT professionals are also embracing the reality of Serverless architectures, which are critical to developing and operating real-time applications and services. Serverless is particularly important as enterprises of all sizes develop and deploy Internet of Things (IoT) initiatives.
CloudEXPO Silicon Valley, which will take place June 24-26, 2019 at the Santa Clara Convention Center in Santa Clara, CA introduces three full conference tracks examining Cloud-Native and Serverless technologies.

Cloud-Native thinking and Serverless Computing are now the norm in financial services, manufacturing, telco, healthcare, transportation, energy, media, entertainment, retail and other consumer industries, as well as the public sector.
The widespread success of cloud computing is driving the DevOps revolution in enterprise IT. Now as never before, development teams must communicate and collaborate in a dynamic, 24/7/365 environment. There is no time to wait for long development cycles that produce software that is obsolete at launch. DevOps may be disruptive, but it is essential.
As they do so, IT professionals are also embracing the reality of Serverless architectures, which are critical to developing and operating real-time applications and services. Serverless is particularly important as enterprises of all sizes develop and deploy Internet of Things (IoT) initiatives.
Serverless and Kubernetes are great examples of continuous, rapid pace of change in enterprise IT. They also raise a number of critical issues and questions about employee training, development processes, and operational metrics.

SCRIP is one of the largest fund-raising programs at Queen of Peace Catholic Church and School. The program requires no out-of-pocket expenses and allows the school to earn profit off local and national merchants you already frequent. We purchase gift cards and certificates at a discount, from 2% - 15%. The parish office sells you the gift cards at face value generating an earned rebate. This rebate is split with 46% going to the parish, 4% for operating costs, and 50% returned to you in the form of a tuition credit or cash back. Tuition credit rebates are accrued in two 6-month periods and distributed to families in May and November. Our SCRIP program generates an average of $18,000.00 in earned rebates annually, allowing us to keep tuition costs down for our families. Please support this worthwhile and profitable program.
Trouble planning ahead when purchasing your SCRIP? Ever wish you could get SCRIP instantly before leaving for the store or restaurant? Want to keep "reloadable" gift cards for your favorite stores available at your fingertips?
We are excited to add this new dimension to our SCRIP Program! Now there is an easy way for you to purchase SCRIP cards directly to your SmartPhone and then use at select retailers.
Sound Interesting? …. Then follow the necessary steps listed below to get started!
- Sign up for shopwithscrip.com. It's Easy!
- Enter Queen of Peace Enrollment Code: Call the parish office @ 574-255-9674
- Enroll in PrestoPay, the online payment method for your scrip orders using electronic funds transfer from a checking account. It's easy, secure, and allows you to skip paying with cash or check. Read the information carefully and follow the steps outlined online. Your final Approval Code must be sent to Laurie Haverty, our coordinator, via email at firstname.lastname@example.com or phone before your account is active to purchase.
- Activate your MyScripWallet, the new mobile website from ShopWithScrip.com. Go to www.MyScripWallet.com, and login using your shopwithscrip account. Here you can shop the ScripNow and Reload brands, pay using PrestoPay and redeem from a Smartphone.
This will NOT replace our current program of selling the plastic cards at our Parish Office. We will continue to carry over 60 retailers IN STOCK to be purchased 7-days a week, as well as 100's of more options offered weekly as a SPECIAL ORDER. This is still your best option for participating in our SCRIP program. We are introducing this program for those families who feel this option can be beneficial to their SCRIP buying habits and who would like to use the convenience of this new technology.
You are asked NOT to purchase plastic cards that we currently carry in-stock except when buying the initial cards from retailers offering the reloadable option! A complete list of which retailers offer the new "ScripNow" (ecard) and Reload options is available at the ShopwithScrip website. You are able to view what format the cards are sold in under each retailer. For example, $25 Lowe's plastic cards are sold here, but you may wish to purchase the reloadable card or ScripNow ecard online using PrestoPay.
QUESTIONS? Contact the Parish Office at 255-9674/ firstname.lastname@example.com and they can help get you started!

I have a feeling this could turn into a rant. I'm just coming out of the second bout of viral horribleness I've had into the last month or so.
Thankfully this one was short, yet intense, but there is something about riding the porcelain bus hourly for almost two days that leaves you with more than a bitter taste in your mouth.
It's time to purge out some of that mental baggage as well. I have a habit of letting it build up on me until the pressure becomes too much and maybe, just maybe, that's why it manifests in a physical illness. Who knows? I'll believe anything at this point.
So for my future health and sanity, here goes. Continue reading
