Michael Stumpf sent me Topological sensitivity analysis for systems biology, written by Ann Babtie and Paul Kirk, en avant-première before it came out in PNAS and I read it during the trip to NIPS in Montréal. (The paper is published in open access, so everyone can read it now!) The topic is quite central to a lot of debates about climate change, economics, ecology, finance, &tc., namely to assess the impact of using the wrong model to draw conclusions and make decisions about a real phenomenon. (Which reminded me of the distinction between mechanical and phenomenological models stressed by Michael Blum in his NIPS talk.) And it is of much interest from a Bayesian point of view since assessing the worth of a model requires modelling the "outside" of a model, using for instance Gaussian processes as in the talk Tony O'Hagan gave in Warwick earlier this term. I would even go as far as saying that the issue of assessing [and compensating for] how wrong a model is, given available data, may be the (single) most under-assessed issue in statistics. We (statisticians) have yet to reach our Boxian era.
In Babtie et al., the space or universe of models is represented by network topologies, each defining the set of "parents" in a semi-Markov representation of the (dynamic) model. At which stage Gaussian processes are also called for help. Alternative models are ranked in terms of fit according to a distance between simulated data from the original model (sounds like a form of ABC?!). Obviously, there is a limitation in the number and variety of models considered this way, I mean there are still assumptions made on the possible models, while this number of models is increasing quickly with the number of nodes. As pointed out in the paper (see, e.g., Fig.4), the method has a parametric bootstrap flavour, to some extent.
What is unclear is how one can conduct Bayesian inference with such a collection of models. Unless all models share the same "real" parameters, which sounds unlikely. The paper mentions using uniform prior on all parameters, but this is difficult to advocate in a general setting. Another point concerns the quantification of how much one can trust a given model, since it does not seem models are penalised by a prior probability. Hence they all are treated identically. This is a limitation of the approach (or an indication that it is only a preliminary step in the evaluation of models) in that some models within a large enough collection will eventually provide an estimate that differs from those produced by the other models. So the assessment may become altogether highly pessimistic for this very reason.
"If our parameters have a real, biophysical interpretation, we therefore need to be very careful not to assert that we know the true values of these quantities in the underlying system, just because–for a given model–we can pin them down with relative certainty."
In addition to its relevance for moving towards approximate models and approximate inference, and in continuation of yesterday's theme, the paper calls for nested sampling to generate samples from the posterior(s) and to compute the evidence associated with each model. (I realised I had missed this earlier paper by Michael and co-authors on nested sampling for system biology.) There is no discussion in the paper on why nested sampling was selected, compared with, say, a random walk Metropolis-Hastings algorithm. Unless it is used in a fully automated way, but the paper is rather terse on that issue… And running either approach on 10⁷ models in comparison sounds like an awful lot of work!!! Using importance [sampling] nested sampling as we proposed with Nicolas Chopin could be a way to speed up this exploration if all parameters are identical between all or most models.

Derbyshire's latest visit to Queen's Park, Chesterfield was an unhappy one as they slid to a 72-run defeat against Northamptonshire on Tuesday.
Billy Godleman's boys began the third day of the Specsavers County Championship, Second Division fixture needing 164 runs to clinch victory, and they had five wickets in hand.
But instead, they slipped to 264 all out, with Luke Procter taking four wickets for the visitors, and they remain fifth in the ten-team table.
Derbyshire had done remarkably well to even get back into contention after trailing by no fewer than 196 runs following the first innings.
Despite four wickets for Matt Critchley, they watched Northants amass a total of 342, which included 134 from 29-year-old South African Temba Bavuma.
In response, Derbyshire were rolled over for just 146 as Ben Sanderson took 5-46 in 19 overs. They were 60-6 at one stage until a brave knock of 55no by all-rounder Fynn Hudson-Prentice.
The hosts began their fightback when dismissing Northants for 122 in their second innings. There were two more wickets, plus a run out, for Hudson-Prentice (2-30), plus returns of 4-33 in 12 overs from Tony Palladino and 2-24 from Hamidullah Qadri.
It left Derbyshire needing 319 for victory, and plenty of time to get the runs. They started steadily in the hands of openers Luis Reece (33) and Godleman (25), and after 27 from Wayne Madsen, they were handily poised on 85-1.
The tide began to turn, however, when both the fourth and fifth wickets fell to Procter on 134.
Tom Lace remained to open the challenge on day three, but the writing was on the wall when he was caught by Bavuma off Brett Hutton for 41.
Hudson-Prentice impressed again with 26no, Harvey Hosein made 22 and Critchley 19. But defeat was sealed when Ravi Rampaul (20) pulled Sanderson to deep square-leg.

Now that I've had a few weeks time off to think and get away from it for a while, I realized that I missed building relationships with mompraneurs, supporting small business, and sharing the good deals that I'd find with others! I've also been surprised by all the lovely people encouraging me to step out on my own and continue! I didn't know I'd be missed, but that definitely got me thinking and considering starting over. In the end, I've decided to stick my neck out there and start from scratch on my own. I'm not competing with anyone or comparing myself to anyone else. I've had some time to think about my mission here and what I really want to accomplish. I have a lot of ideas and am excited to share them with anyone who'd care to listen. There are many voices out there, I'm just adding to the choir, because everyone is different and there's always room for more right? So there it is, just a little back story for ya ;) Now let me introduce myself to those that may not have a clue who I am!
My name is Jessica, I live in suburbia land right outside of DC. I've lived here almost my whole life! I've been married for almost 10 years to an amazing man. We got married pretty young so we've kind of grown up together in a way, which makes for big ups and downs at times, but he knows me in and out and seeing how he's become the man he is now makes me appreciate him more than ever. He's the most loyal, hard working man I know! He's also an amazing dad!! We have 3 kids... My daughter is 8, my son is 5, my youngest son is 3! I'm a stay at home mom during the day and a couple evenings a week I teach at a local dance studio. Ive been dancing for as long as I can remember...Its my passion and I love passing it onto others :) I teach all ages (literally from 2 1/2 up to adult age) so it keeps things mixed up and exciting for me. I am a former Washington Wizards Dancer and Washington Redskins Cheerleader. I started when I was 19 and I've met the most AHmazing people (my husband included), made some really great memories, and learned a lot about myself along the way. Some of my sure-to-be life long friends have come from my experiences in the professional dancing world.

Another common problem that causes engine performance issues is vacuum leaks. Vacuum leaks are air leaks into the engine that occur after the throttle body and before the intake valves. Any leaks in this area are considered vacuum leaks. Vacuum leaks upset the air/fuel mixture and can cause misfires, a loss of performance, idle issues, or poor fuel mileage. Vacuum leaks are on the top of my list of probable causes for performance issues. The engine likes balance; anything that upsets that balance will cause performance issues. Vacuum leaks are a very common cause of this imbalance.
How do you go about determining if you have a vacuum leak, and how do you determine its location? Some methods are quick and easy, while others are a bit more involved and require special tools. I like easy, so I normally grab a can of carburetor cleaner and spray around the suspected areas while the engine is running to see if there is a change in RPM. If I find an area where I spray and the RPM changes or I can actually hear a gurgling sound as I hit the source of the leak, I know I've found a vacuum leak and I've got a pretty good idea where my leak is.
I will admit that doing this to a hot engine can get dangerous, as carburetor cleaner is flammable. No worries, because you can also use water in a spray bottle to do pretty much the same thing. It's not as accurate, but it does get the job done.
One other method is to use smoke. While the engine is off, you can introduce smoke into the intake through one of the vacuum lines and look for where the smoke comes out. If you see smoke coming out, then you've found the source of your leak. There are machines that produce smoke, but I've seen people do pretty much the same thing using smoke from a cigar.
The method you choose is up to you, but I would suggest including checking for vacuum leaks in your diagnosis. Here's a video on finding vacuum leaks you may find useful.

It's hard to believe, but in 2017 the Camaro will have been around for half a century! And if you were born in 1967, get ready; you—along the Chevrolet Camaro—are heading straight into your 50s. The only difference between you and a nicely restored '67 Camaro is that the car probably has a few less lines than us quinquagenarians. Yep, I'm right there with you.
And if that's not crazy enough to think about, even crazier is the fact that us Camaro lovers can thank Ford for the Camaro's existence. Yep, the success of the early Mustangs caught the attention of the top brass at GM and they couldn't help but notice the popularity of Ford's latest sporty compact car. GM thought they already had the answer to the Mustang since 1960 with the compact size and sporty shape of the Corvair, but it just didn't have the same appeal to the younger demographic. They even thought about wrangling people in with the Chevy II, but it, too, lacked the attractiveness and sporty style of the Mustang.
GM engineers had to act fast if they wanted to compete for a chunk of that valuable market share that Ford was solely enjoying—they were already two years behind. Not only did GM have to move quickly, they had to create a car that featured superior handling, driveability, power, and quality; and it had to be affordable and have an attractive, sporty appearance—all the things that appealed to younger drivers. Easier said than done, right? Maybe so, but GM delivered—in a big way!
It was on June 29, 1966 when GM unveiled the 1967 Chevrolet Camaro to 150-200 members of the automotive press by way of 14 meeting rooms across the country via teleconference. It was also announced that the car would be introduced to the public on September 29, 1966.
Needless to say, the 1967 Camaro marked the beginning of a long, successful run of what has arguably become the most popular American-made muscle car ever.
So to celebrate the 50th Anniversary of the Camaro, we've gathered up a collection of the coolest 1967 Camaros we've ever featured over the years in print and online in one huge pictorial. We've even included a wide variety of engines that power these incredible, classic rides.
Enjoy the scenery.

Drop-In Centre defends itself against allegations of contract breach – Calgary
CALGARY- The fallout continues over the Drop-In Centre's plan to open a building in northeast Calgary, with the organization now defending itself over an alleged breach of contract.
Story continues below
Drop-In Centre pushes ahead with Quality Inn renovation despite concerns
More debate expected at Quality Inn affordable housing meeting Tuesday
Officials deny they haven't met the conditions of the provincial grant that would provide more than $5 million for its new project to turn the Quality Inn into housing. Stipulations included that there had to be sufficient community consultation, which area residents say hasn't happened.
"It's our understanding that we are compliant, and that we have met the terms of the grant," says Debbie Newman from the Drop-In Centre. "I have not received a phone call, and as I understand it's in the hands of the minister."
The province's municipal affairs department says it's rescinding the grant, claiming the organization changed the original plan. However, the Drop-in Centre says its requested and received a written exemption on consultation from someone in the ministry two years ago.
"…there will be no issue with this, in fact I just signed off on another project, where all we are doing is a MOU between the Proponent and the Province which commits to you working with your neighbours, in lieu of consultation," the e-mail from the assistant deputy minister of municipal affairs reads. "This sounds like a great opportunity so good luck."
Based on that exchange, the Drop-In Centre purchased the Quality Inn, paying more than $8 million for the property.
Municipal Affairs Minister Greg Weadick says he is reviewing the file, and will have a detailed response later this week.

Game rules
Diamond Dream
Diamond Dream is a classic slot machine with 3 reels, 3 paylines that operate separately and bonuses.
The game starts with the player defining the size of his bet. To do so you need to choose a token of some value in the right bottom corner of the window. The token is automatically added to the slot machine and all the information fields in the machine convert the player's balance into the amount of coins of the determined value.
To choose a payline that will be checked for the winning combination, the player can press BET +1 thus changing the payline to the next one, or press MAX BET setting the payline to the last one by doing so the game launches automatically. It should be noted that the sum of the bet increases in proportion to the sequence number of the line.
The reels launch when pressing SPIN button.
After the reels stop, the machine determines whether there are the winning combinations on the paylines and a bonus game. The combination on a line is considered winning if it contains an unbroken sequence of the symbols of the same kind starting from the last reel on left. All the winning combinations and the coefficients of the payout are specified in the paytable. The paytable covers the payouts on various winning combinations.
When Bonus symbol row or question marks appear, a bonus game becomes available, which launches by pressing SPIN button.
When defining the win sum for a symbol combination, the winning coefficient specified in the paytable for the winning combination is multiplied by the bet made by the player on the line and the sequence number of the line.
When the machine stops, the player can repeat the game by pressing SPIN.
|Name of combinations
|Scores number
|Golden color diamonds in a row
|Red color diamonds in a row
|Blue color diamonds in a row
|Four-leaved clover row
|Horse shoe row
|BONUS titles in a row
|25, the player automatically makes one more move free of charge
|Figures of 3 in a row
|Symbols of ? in a row
|5, the player may make a free move
|Empty spaces in a row
|? symbol
|Right to get a free move if there is an opportunity to get the winning combination by replacing «?» with another symbol. Only the reel containing «?» will re-spin
|1 four-leaved clover
|2 four-leaved clovers

The pilot wrapped the stained and fraying Ace bandage around Violet's ribcage once more, flattening her breasts into believably masculine pectoral muscles. "You batten down them hatches any tighter, my eyes gonna pop clean out," she chirped, her blue eyes bulging.
"Lower your voice," the pilot growled, wiping the blood from his sideburns with the back of his hand. He shot a furtive glance over his shoulder and held his mangled index finger to his lips. Violet had no problem holding her breath; it was breathing normally that was proving to be a challenge. She heard a twig snap, and then the sound of dry leaves rustling. Her heart slammed against its Ace bandage cage while the pilot slid his right hand towards his brand new Sig Sauer the bureau had sprung for when they assigned him this mission.
A young white-tailed deer picked its way through the plane's wreckage, each step preceded by a careful sniff. It came upon the survivors huddled under the huge spruce, torn clothing and first aid supplies strewn about on the pine-scented duff. It stamped once and its dark eyes locked on Violet's as the pilot drew his sidearm. Violet backhanded his the gun away from him and the deer turned and bounded away, downhill, towards the road and Violet's destination.
"What the fuck, dipshit? Have you tasted what they call rations? You could have had fresh venison for your first meal on assignment. Everyone says does taste better." The pilot grumbled.
"How y'all know that was a doe?"
"No antlers, genius."
"Why, bless your heart, you greenhorn. All deer are antlerless right now. Y'all cain't tell a doe from a young buck in June without a good look at their south side." Violet rolled her protruding eyes.
"You understand what you need to do?" The pilot changed the subject, irritated. Violet's slack jaw offered a vote of no confidence. The pilot shook his head. "We're fucked," he mumbled, and began bandaging the gash on his arm.
Violet, seated with her back against the tree, tried to take deep breaths to quell her anxiety about the subterfuge. The bandage made that impossible, so she began to hum a song she heard on the radio that morning before she left Virginia.
"I Shot The Sherriff? Really?" The pilot raised his voice. "You need to get your shit together, ya dig? You have a job to do. Sorry this mission isn't all peaches and cream, little lady, but you need to pull yourself together, go infiltrate that drug ring, get The Duke to implicate himself while you're wearing your wire, and then get the fuck out of there, so we can make the bust and go home. Is that so all-fired complicated?"
"I cain't breathe," Violet squeaked again. "You pulled them bandages too tight." She stood up, stumbled over an exposed root, and then crash landed for a second time that afternoon.

A lot of projector for the money
In Stock NOW (As of June 2018)
The new BenQ W3000 Home Cinema Projector with 100% Rec. 709 colour.
Rec. 709 is the international HDTV standard 709 to guarantee accurate replica of cinematic colour as the director intended.
The New BenQ W3000 fills the gap between the Epson TW5300 (entry level) and TW6700 which is still no replacement for the TW8200 so now you have to step up to the TW8300. We can make a great case as to why it's a a much better buy for the BenQ W3000 especially considering included Rec. 709 class.
It's faster
New 6X RGBRGB colour wheel as with all new 2016 models has a precision-tuned coating and colour segments. The above image is simulated, nothing works with sunlight shining on it.
There is enough ANSI lumens power to use the W3000 with the lights turned on, you can move it around from room to room easily. The W3000 is very good value for money especially now as Epson thought they had the market to themselves. (Hence prices rise)
BenQ are now fighting back for market share, the W3000's baby brother W2000 winning projector of the year is a case in point.
- Rec. 709 HDTV Standard for Finest Cinematic Colour
- Vertical Lens Shift for Extra Installation Freedom
- Side Projection with 2D Keystone
- Two Enhanced Chamber Speakers (20 Watts) with Audio Enhancer
- Ultra-Modern Design
- Low Acoustic Noise of 29dBA (Eco mode)
- Wireless video transmission (option)
- Pure glass lens elements
- ISFccc®Certification Professionally Calibrated
- 100" screen from 2.5 Meters, 1.6:1 X Zoom
- Wall Colour Correction
Politically correct colours
Displays that conform to Rec. 709 can reproduce colours correctly in all images through an entire movie. While most projector manufacturers choose a saturated colour tone bias to increase colourfulness, resulting in colour accuracy loss, the W3000 achieves the Rec.709 colour standard. The process of building a projector includes many variables such as lenses, lamps and colour wheel coating. During the production Line Quality Control all Three colour adjustment stations in the production line perform final checks on every single unit.
By combining pioneering BenQ innovations such as interchangeable six-segment colour wheels with DLP BrilliantColor™ Technology, BenQ projectors accurately reproduce hard-to-match colours such as skin tones and precisely render Rec.709 and sRGB standards.
Position it (almost) anywhere
Lens shift +/- 10% vertical with a short-throw means you get a 100 inch image from 2.5 to 3.3m. Zoom range of 1.6:1 makes installation of the W1110 very flexible.
Wireless & HDMI
Stream uncompressed 1080p content, even in 3D with a wireless range up to 100 ft.
*Line of sight. Transmission distance depends on actual environment. Stated distance is based on line-of-sight measurement. Structures constructed of steel, wood, concrete, or brick may decrease transmission distance.

Sponsored by
Graduate, entry-level, trainee and junior architectural technologist, technician and design jobs are sometimes advertised by large, traditional graduate employers: for example, house-builders and property developers (such as Barratt), construction and engineering companies (such as BAM Construct and Mott MacDonald) and local authorities. You can find these vacancies on TARGETjobs, RIBA Appointments and the Chartered Institute of Architectural Technologists (CIAT) among other places.
However, most roles are found with smaller architectural practices and you are most likely to get your architectural technology job by sending them speculative applications.
Follow our four steps to speculative application success.
1. Shortlist employers who may hire junior architectural technologists and technicians
Draw up a shortlist of practices you're interested in. Research those listed in the CIAT's directory of practices and/or in RIBA's list of chartered members. Both directories are available on the professional bodies' respective websites and you can search by location. It is also worth asking your university department or careers service for a list of employers who have previously hired their students or for a list of alumni who would be willing to be contacted by you.
Almost counterintuitively, it may be worth looking out for employers who are advertising for more experienced positions. An advert for a senior architect role with a minimum of ten years' experience is unsuitable for graduates, but the advert tells you that the practice is currently hiring and it should also include information on what the recruiter is looking for in terms of personal attributes and values.
Warning: there are over 3,000 architectural practices in the UK. Don't be tempted to send out one blanket application to as many practices as possible, thinking that the more applications you send, the greater the likelihood of a positive response; a non-targeted application will just end up in the employers' 'deleted items' folders.
Instead, concentrate on creating tailored applications for no more than five to ten architectural employers at a time. Prioritise the employers by looking into the type of projects they specialise in and their portfolio.
2. Write a unique covering letter for architectural technology jobs
Make sure you know who to address the letter to (never use 'Dear Sir/Madam' or 'To whom it may concern'). If you can't find the right contact name on the website, call up the practice and you should be able to find out.
In your covering letter, you will need to explain: why you are emailing and what you are looking for; why you want to work for the employer; and why you would be an asset to the organisation.
Research the organisation, its specialist areas and any recent projects, and be clear about what it is that attracts you to working there. If you can copy and paste the material from one application to another and it still makes sense, your application is not targeted enough – re-write it and make the employer really feel wanted.
What you could bring to the organisation includes your skills, knowledge, work experience and enthusiasm. Draw on your research to match up your skills with their key values or any information you find on past job listings. Back up the claims you make about your skills with evidence from your experiences, stressing achievements, measurable results and your personal contribution where possible. If you're going to convince someone to hire you, even when they're not currently recruiting, you're going to have to sell your skills and knowledge – what do you have to offer that would realistically benefit the practice? Why you?
Make sure that you are clear about what you're looking for (eg whether it's work-shadowing or a paid role) and when you will be available to start. Mention that you'll follow up the application by calling or visiting the office in X days' time (between three days and one week is best). Then sign off with 'Yours sincerely'.

3. Write a CV for speculative applications for architectural practices
On your CV, highlight the experiences you've had that are most relevant to the practice you're applying to. Focus on the skills you developed as well as the tasks you did.
The format of CV you choose is up to you, but think about what's the best way to present your experiences. A chronological format suits someone who has had several relevant experiences recently, while a skills-based CV lets applicants with more varied experiences draw attention to the skills they've developed. This format is also helpful if you want to emphasise how your skills will match up well with the practice. For example, if teamworking is important in the practice according to the website, a section on 'Teamworking experience' is a good way to demonstrate you will fit in well.
This may seem obvious, but put extra thought into the overall design and style of your CV, making sure that it remains easy to read, emphasises your main strengths and is aesthetically pleasing. This will emphasise your design skills. You can send speculative CVs as a PDF.
- More advice on writing graduate and work experience CVs for the construction industry.
4. Assemble a portfolio of your design work
It's also a good idea to include a sample of your work with your application. This doesn't mean sending over a back catalogue of everything you've ever done – a PDF of a few pages should be enough.
Decide whether it's better to compile several different pieces, showing the variety of work you can do, or use one particular project that's similar to the practice's work, showing your knowledge of the work you will do on the job. Alternatively, if you don't already have something you want to send, why not do a new mini-project based on the practice's current developments? It's worth asking your university tutors or lecturers who are industry practitioners what they recommend.
5. Follow up a speculative application
Following up is a critical part of the success of speculative applications: it reinforces your enthusiasm to work for the employer. Make sure you follow up within the timeframe you specified on the covering letter. You should be able to do this over the phone, but if you do go into the office (if it is local), dress appropriately.
What do you say? You should ask if they've had the chance to review your application and whether they have any suitable roles available. If they turn you down, don't keep pushing – move onto another practice. If they say there might be vacancies in a few months' time, arrange with them how you can get back in contact later, if you're still looking for opportunities by then.

Thanks for choosing to read another www.SocialRocketMarketing.com article.
This time we are focusing on the importance of influencers on social media.
Can somebody with a high social media following boost sales?
It certainly can! Many companies are now 'gifting' people products in exchange for Social Media posts. Some companies even fit paid social media posts into their marketing budget.
Have you ever wondered why they are doing this?
. . .
Because it works! Here's some reasons it works below:
1 – The power behind word of mouth.
If somebody you religiously follow swears by a brand or product many people follow suit!
Who remembers David Beckham wearing Adidas Predator football boots many years ago?
When I was at school all the kids had these as Beckham was their role model and this really does apply with any role model or somebody with a commanding following.
Some people really engage well with their following and almost treat them as friends, therefore when they give their opinion on things their followers trust what they are saying!
Tip: It may be worthwhile not working with an influencer that has promoted every competitor under the sun!
2 – Social shift!
Did you know over 70% of brands have increasing their social media spend this year?
Therefore, it shows that this is a growing trend. Along with paid campaigns on social media many companies are now using this as their main online marketing strategy. You may know of some companies that are doing this successfully already!
Tip: Try before you buy, Don't put all your eggs in one basket make sure the person is the right fit for your brand.
3 – Google agrees…
Influencer marketing is VERY much on the rise according to www.google.com
4 – Consumers don't like being directly sold to.
It's an indirect way of selling a product. It is also a way to raise brand awareness when the same person frequently mentions a brand/product it eventually makes people curious enough to look further into it and potentially make a purchase (which is the whole idea behind using an influencer).
Tip: Less is more – don't force a sale, make it look natural.
5 – Improves SEO
In addition to building your brand and increasing your sales numbers, influencer marketing also improves your search engine ranking. According to The Social Media Revolution, user generated social posts account for 25% of search results for the world's top 20 brands. The more people mention your brand on social media, the more popular and relevant you will be on Google. Which of course means more people will find your website and purchase.
Tip: Engage with your following, competition, customer interactions, hashtag campaigns
Did you know?..
The #TweetYourMeat campaign used was created by us and has proven very successful for http://www.musclefood.com this campaign helps improve SEO, raise brand awareness, talking points, useful for marketing in different areas such as TV adverts, digital or print.
This campaign also transcended from Twitter to Instagram too.
6 – Improves Social Media…
It really helps to improve YOUR social media engagement, following and activity.
For example if somebody with 1million followers posts and tags your brand on the post many people will follow you or engage with you in a different way.
Here's an example of a company that utilises influencer marketing well and spends high budgets doing so: – Protein World.
Protein World ship world-wide and have a number of high followed celebrities/influencers on their books. Many of these are paid a monthly campaign fee and for them to do this so much shows that they see a ROI with this method of social marketing.
The best way to operate with campaigns like this is to ensure it looks as natural as possible. It sells better if it actually looks like the person purchases from the company instead of being paid to do as they ask. Got it?
Thanks for taking the time to read this article, we do hope it was helpful.
Did you know we have connections with over 250 verified accounts on social media.

We have been seeing more and more companies seeking to become a customer centric organisation. So what does this mean? We believe it is almost impossible to separate the principle of customer-centricity without factoring in technology and corporate culture. After all, customer experience success can hardly be maintained if it's not at the core of a company's operating fabric.
So when we were asked how we would define a customer centric organisation we came up with the following 'Six Cs':
- Clarity. Clarity is something that every leadership team should have. Without a clearly defined purpose, strategy and message, you will find it difficult to connect to your customers – and engage your staff.
- Commitment. Commitment is about showing that you are willing and able to invest the time, effort, people, and financial resources to do what it takes to deliver and improve your performance – not just in the short term, but year in, year out.
- Connectivity. This is about working across the organisation, taking an end to end view and keeping everyone up-to-date on the progress of what everyone does every day.
- Capability. Making sure that people have the right skills, are given the right tools and knowledge and are trained and supported to provide great customer service.
- Consistency. A consistent voice is imperative across various touch points, content and channels because it defines your brand 'voice' and makes you more credible and trustworthy.
- Cohesion. This is the 'glue' that describes what it is like to work here, the everyday practices and the shared values that everyone understands is really important for the company. It's that little bit extra that helps day to day but really makes a difference in emergencies or in service recovery.
We have developed a useful checklist to help identify and plan what can be done to move your organisation to being more customer centric. If you would like to know more please feel free to contact us for a chat.

Changes are afoot in the field of cat studies or, to use the technical term, apaw. New research into quite how cats went from being wild to apparently domesticated has shed greater light on the loving gaze shared each morning by pet and owner over a bowl of reconstituted meat.
An article in the latest Scientific American looks again at the history of feline domestication. It has long been held that cats were first tamed in ancient Egypt some 3,600 years ago. Thanks, however, to the discovery of a cat-shaped corpse buried some 9,500 years ago alongside their human associate in a shallow grave in Cyprus, the game has been changed. The new thinking is that wildcats of the type Felis silvestris lybica began to dwell alongside humans as farming developed in the fertile crescent of the Levant. Wildcats were tempted into human settlements by the prospects of scraps and, crucially, a ready supply of Mus musculus domesticus, aka the house mouse, an ancient Jerry to their pre-classical Tom.
In other words, we didn't domesticate cats, they domesticated themselves. The animal was not tamed by the human, it looked the human up and down, liked what it saw and decided it would put on its cutest expression and pretend to be friends – a small price to pay for a high-mouse diet.
Cat owners reading, this, perhaps with Tango or Whiskey (or both) sitting nonchalantly on top of their paper, may not be overly surprised to learn of these zoological developments. Unlike obliging, loving, slavering dogs, cats can often give the distinct impression of only being in it for the tuna-flavoured biscuits. The fact that this might be a habit established over millennia only proves the consistency of their interests.
That said, the postulations of the academics ought to give those same owners pause for thought. For every moment of insistent miaowing for meat, there is also the soft purring your cat emits while it submits willingly to your caress, seemingly because it likes it. It is all too easy for humans to imagine a sophisticated relationship between themselves and their familiar. As opposed, say, to it being just an extended period of transactions designed to guarantee the continued delivery of Whiskas.
Anthropomorphism is sometimes decried by ecologists who would prefer it if attempts to preserve endangered species were more evenly spread, rather than concentrated on creatures who look like they'd make nice company at a dinner party. Polar bears are perceived as cute and friendly, despite their penchant for bloody destruction\, while snakes are devious and ruthless despite donating upwards of 30% of their income to charity (or so I was told by a snake oil salesman). This tendency applies tenfold to our domestic animals, despite the fact that we have not even the slightest clue as to their actual thoughts and feelings.
It seems that now might be the time to revise downwards our expectations of cats. To continue to imagine, as I have done myself, that a cat actually loves you may only lead to heartbreak when the next study comes out revealing that, far from having an emotional bond with his human host, Felix has in fact conducted due diligence on his owner before deigning to move in.
The other extreme, of refusing to countenance any bond with your beast, would also prove unproductive I suspect. Why take an animal into your home if you're intent on spending half the time trying to get it to pay for its dinner? Instead, I think, the model for our cats should be roughly the same as for our MPs: acknowledge that we need them, but let our trust in them be a wary one. And, as it seems to be the rage, make them subject to potential recall, with their effectiveness judged at the ballot box under the AV-plus system.

In THIS Gramma's House, there are ALWAYS cookies in the cookie jar. Homemade or StoreBought, we've got cookies. Lately, they are called "Alice Cookies" in honor of our granddaughter. I got an assignment for the EatWriteRetreat workshop I'm attending next week to make a batch of cookies with Monk Fruit In The Raw Sugar……and I knew it would be fun!
We were sent a recipe to make roll out sugar cookies…..and it mixed up in a breeze. The recipe used 1/2 regular sugar and 1/2 of the new sugar from In The Raw made from Monk Fruit. I've NEVER baked with anything but regular cane sugar, so I wondered how it would taste! Monk Fruit In The Raw Bakers Bag is an all-natural, zero calorie sugar alternative with a sweet,k clean taste that measures like sugar. Perfect for Grammas AND Alice's!
It mixed like "regular" cookies except there is one more step when you add the Monk Fruit In The Raw Sugar as a separate step. My super-duper picky daughter didn't notice ANY difference when she snitched some of the dough. I put the dough in one plastic bag and let it rest in the refrigerator overnight.
Rolling was easy peasy even right from the refrigerator. The dough was really nice and the cookies baked up perfectly. Next up, the frosting!
I've been coloring and flavoring frostings with fruit juices lately. This one, I wanted to be light pink (Alice's Favorite) so I made some strawberry "juice" out of some mashed and sugared strawberries. I used this "juice" as some of the liquid in my cookie frosting.
We aren't a "cookie frosting" family. We like a simple glaze of Powdered Sugar and a liquid…lemon juice, milk or 1/2 and 1/2, or even water! This one, used Strawberry "juice" and 1/2 and 1/2. I pour in the sugar, add a little liquid, and mix and add liquid until it is exactly how I want it to be.
I pour my frosting into plastic decorator bottles add a tip to the lid if I want, and squeeze a small amount on the cookie and spread with a knife. These, I added a sprinkling of Sanding Sugar for glitter and crunch.
Yes, I made Red Mittens! I also used some delicious Chocolate sprinkles from King Arthur Flour. They are REAL chocolate and look and smell so good on a cookie.
For THIS assignment, we had to make a 4-ish inch cookie and decorate it. I chose to use a round cutter and then an alphabet cutter on the inside to spell A-L-I-C-E, a word Alice knows how to spell and read. While she napped, I decorated with the strawberry icing and the sanding sugar sprinkles. Then I waited for her to wake up!
Alice Approved Cookies. These are keepers!
I am entering to win a prize at the Eat Write Retreat….I'll let you know how I do!

Hi all just would like to know why companies like I-say have a issue with talktalk.net domain name
As the company has deactivated my account just recently and not told me why.
Is there a reason why this is happening???
I have asked them why waiting on a reply
update they say the following
it seems that your current domain had been labelled as not being compatible with our communication so it is better for you to create a new email address, o
Solved! Jump to the Best Answer.
Hi Joe
Market researchers, like Ipsos i-Say, send out lots of survey invitations. Sometimes people get fed up of doing surveys and getting screened out just before the end of the survey so they mark these as Spam instead of unsubscribing. If the i-Say survey invitations are then fingerprinted as spam the survey invitations can get blocked by the network level filters.
I expect that's why i-Say are saying the talktalk domain isn't compatible with their "communications". i-Say would have got 'bounceback' error messages to advise them exactly why their messages aren't getting through.
Hi @Gondola yes i was aware of this but odd as i have been with talktalk for many years and seems to be a new thing as might be to do with the new webmail side
Hi hosay99, I've got no idea. I'm not hearing this from lots of sources so not sure if it's an us or them issue. I'll see if I can find anything out for you.
Hi Joe
In the Classic webmail you would mark an email as Spam and two things would happen. The email would be put in the Trash folder for deleting and the personal Blocked Senders Filter would be updated to Trash the sender.
On the TalkTalk Mail platform it's a bit more subtle. The Spam marked email is put in to the Spam folder and the TalkTalk Cloudmark Authority Engine is notified that you've marked an email as spam. Cloudmark is the network based spam filtering that gathers information from all users and other external information to be able to identify and fingerprint spam, primarily from a content analysis, and to block that spam on the network.
i-Say would have got bounceback messages from the network level filtering so they would know if their messages are being treated as spam.

In an underground laboratory in central Sydney, a robot and a drone are being put through their paces. From time to time, their young inventors hunch over their respective offspring, fine-tuning movements and adjusting software.
CROC, an autonomous robot inspired by the movement of an inchworm, is edging its way along a customised tunnel in the corner. With its special magnetic foot, CROC can climb vertical steel walls, avoid obstacles and pivot through small spaces inside bridges and other steel structures such as ship hulls, transmission towers and oil rigs. Along the way, it can collect and record inspection data and compare it with data from previous visits.
CROC is an intelligent robot that sees and thinks for itself, answering questions such as "Where am I?", "Where do I want to go now?", "How do I get there?", "What do I want to do now?" and "How do I do that?"
That may sound like something out of science fiction, but it's not. CROC is the world's first autonomous climbing robot for steel bridge inspection, and is the result of several years' collaboration between a team of nine researchers at the University of Technology Sydney (UTS) and many engineers from Roads and Maritime Services (RMS) NSW.
The project is in its fifth year and is one of many industry-related robotics projects instigated by Professor Dikai Liu, the director of the Centre for Autonomous Systems (CAS) at the university.
Peter Ward, team leader for the project's hardware and testing side, has had a passion for robots since he was a kid growing up in Perth. His bedroom was lined with space robot wallpaper; he built robots out of Lego and pulled TVs, radios and computers apart to see how they worked.
Ward says other researchers internationally are developing inspection robots, and some are in commercial use. But "those robots have limited intelligence and face difficulties overcoming challenging obstacles".
CROC is a different beast, he says. "First, it needs sight and an idea of how far away objects are. Once it has explored its environment and constructed a map, it figures out where to go next and how it's going to get there, all the while making sure it won't collide with anything."
Ward says these processes are called "exploration, mapping, localisation, planning and collision avoidance" – challenges the researchers have solved by developing sophisticated algorithms, with this robot and other projects at CAS.
Associate Professor Jaime Valls Miro says industry involvement is what sets CROC apart, with the Australian Research Council project receiving funding and support from Roads and Maritime Services.
"Many other similar projects are just confined to a lab whereas CROC is a deployable solution to a real-world problem," he says. "It is an industry-driven project that is actually achieving something from the data it collects, including high-definition photos of the current status of the Sydney Harbour Bridge."
On the other side of the basement lab, researcher Dr Dinuka Abeywardena is calibrating a tiny camera as part of his project to develop an intelligent drone. Most drones rely on GPS for navigation, Dr Abeywardena says, but those signals can be disrupted, especially in urban or indoor environments, reducing the drone's effectiveness.
"What we are doing differently is improving the perception capabilities of the drone," he says. "We're using a camera as its eye, so that it can explore its environment and collect data around it.
"The images from the camera get processed by an on-board computer, to estimate how it moves and flies, its speed and tilt and the direction of the wind."
Dr Abeywardena's team is seeking industry partners to help field-test the drones and navigational algorithms that have been successfully tested in the lab.
"Our drone eventually could be used inside a warehouse, working closely and safely with human employees," he says. "It could also be used outside, measuring wind speed and monitoring the effectiveness of wind turbines, for example."
While CROC inspects the inside of bridges, the drone could inspect the outside. It could also monitor tree growth along power lines and conduct bushfire inspections, saving time and money for companies that now use manned helicopters.

This is my illustration for Illustration Friday's topic 'Mermaid'. It started as a rough scribbly silhouette in pencil that I liked so I scanned it in and finished it up in Photoshop. I'm trying to do illustrations faster, so I didn't go in to much detail.
When I think of 'mermaid', I immediately think of Disney's 'The Little Mermaid' (which according to my mum is the first movie I saw at the cinema) so it is no surprise that it kinda looks like Ariel.

Pets Are Good for the Heart, the Soul, and the Body
Pets and elderly individuals may be perfect for each other. Since as early as the 1700s, pets have been used to care for convalescents after World War II by the American Red Cross. Today, pets are still used in physically and mentally therapeutic treatments. There are three significant benefits of pets for the elderly.
- Therapy.
Pet therapy for the elderly is generally referred to as animal assisted therapy, or AAT. It allows for seniors to use fine motor skills by caring for the animal. Walking, petting, grooming, feeding, and generally being affectionate towards the animal provides the senior with both a bonding opportunity, and the chance to practice fine motor skills, which begin to get more difficult as we age. In general, dogs and cats are the most popular animal in animal assisted therap Continue Reading

Oracle hardware support plan stings Sun VARs
VARs say Sun shops may jump ship to HP or IBM hardware, given new Oracle hardware support policies.
New Oracle hardware support policies for Sun Microsystems hardware aren't going over well with customers, according to Sun VARs.
The Oracle hardware support changes mean significantly higher prices and less flexible terms than customers received before Oracle acquired Sun. Oracle made the changes in March, and several Sun VARs -- none of them wanted to be quoted by name -- said the reality is now sinking in.
"It's getting pretty bad," said a Sun integrator from a Western state. "Maintenance renewals and services are 3 times what they had been in terms of price."
Other VARs said those Oracle hardware support prices now range from two to three times higher, depending on the hardware.
Prepaid discounts, flexibility gone
For support on Sun hardware, Oracle now charges 12% of the hardware cost per year. In the past, there were different calculations depending on hardware type. But for large, pricey Sun machines, the old multiplier was typically 5% or 6%, according to one longtime Sun partner in the mid-Atlantic region.
"Before this year, a customer buying a Sun 5240 server got three years of support for $3,800, including a discount for paying for the three years at once," this partner said. "That same box will now cost $7,699 to support for three years."
Sun customers in the past could get a healthy discount by prepaying for three years of support up front. Under Oracle hardware support, that discount is now gone, VARs said.
And perhaps most important, Sun had been extremely flexible, letting customers purchase systems and then enabling support when the systems were installed. Now the support clock starts ticking on the date of purchase.
Unlike some other Sun partners, the Western VAR has not seen the newly reconstituted Sun hardware sales team try to take his accounts direct. But, he said, Oracle telesales has been calling his customers and offering them Sun hardware along with the Oracle software they usually pitch, and he is not amused.
Under the Oracle hardware support policy, Sun's Solaris operating system will no longer be supported on non-Sun hardware. There may not be a ton of customers running Solaris on IBM or HP hardware, but those that do will be looking for alternatives.
Another bone of contention for some Sun VARs is that Oracle ended the Sun Education Market Alliance Program (EMAP), although VARs can still apply for one-off discounts for education accounts. In the past, only a select group of Sun partners qualified for these discounts, and those VARs said the opening up of the program will hurt their margins.
Oracle would not comment on its hardware systems support policies (PDF) for this story. A spokeswoman pointed to Oracle PartnerNetwork specializations and training available to Sun partners.
Oracle hardware support opens IBM, HP doors
The biggest Sun shops will probably be able to force hardware-support concessions from Oracle, but midmarket shops won't have that clout, several VARs said. Their choice will be to pay up or find another vendor.
The Sun integrator from the Western state said his company is ramping up on both IBM and Hewlett-Packard hardware.
"We'll probably move more customers to HP overall," he said. "It's an easier choice at the low end in the Linux world. For high-end Solaris accounts, [IBM's] AIX is an easier move."
Despite Sun's very public travails over the past few years, many VARs kept their Sun accounts active as the vendor pared its internal sales force. Many of these same VARs had also been Oracle partners -- before Oracle started pushing commodity Dell and HP hardware over Sun SPARC machines -- but left Oracle because of its aggressive direct sales approach. Now that Oracle owns Sun, their sense of déjà vu is disconcerting.
Still, for all the channel and customer angst, it's difficult for IT shops to rip out existing gear, no matter how irate they might get about Oracle hardware support.
"Most Sun customers are not at all happy, but it's hard to move and I don't see a lot of forklifts coming in," said the Western state partner. "But I do think we'll see customers peeling off Sun systems over time in favor of IBM and HP."
Both IBM and HP have been actively recruiting the big Sun partners (and their Sun customers) and have gotten some traction. Big Blue has been playing up the IBM Migration Factory approach, which has impressed some Sun VARs.
Given that both IBM and HP are hungrily eyeing these Sun shops, smart VARs can wangle better deals with those vendors to poach Sun customers. And given that IBM sought to buy Sun, then dropped its bid before Oracle swooped in, there could be considerable upside for Big Blue if it can execute on its plans. At least one Oracle partner, who has been no fan of IBM in the past, said IBM will profit from Oracle's inability to adjust to selling hardware.
In January, just after Oracle's $7.5 billion buyout of Sun finally closed, this Oracle partner said, "That sound you're hearing is the champagne corks popping in Armonk."

Going After Minutemen?
Source: NBC San Diego
SAN DIEGO — Nine misdemeanor criminal charges were filed Monday against a member of the San Diego Minutemen, City Attorney Michael Aguirre announced.Here's the problem here, can we allow foreign nationals on American soil to go after Minutemen? I have the exact same discomfort with allowing illegal aliens crossing the border to press charges against border patrol agents. As far as the border patrol goes I think there could be a review board of some sort set up, but it shouldn't ever go to criminal trial without some sort of step in between, the rewards are too great for an illegal.
John Matthew Monti, 36, is accused of four counts of battery, four counts of interfering with the civil rights of day laborers as well as one count of falsifying a crime report with the San Diego Police Department.
The charges stem from an incident last Nov. 18 in Rancho Penasquitos.
The city attorney alleges that Monti began taking photographs of the workers, calling them, "dirty Mexicans." Monti then allegedly punched Estanislao Gonzales, a disabled man who attempted to walk away from him, Aguirre said.
Another day laborer, Roberto Pena, tried to help Gonzales and was also assaulted by Monti, according to Aguirre.
After the incident, Monti contacted police and claimed he was robbed and assaulted by as many as eight migrant workers, Aguirre said.
Monti is due to appear in court on April 13.
As to Minutemen? I have been waiting for this to happen. We noted some disturbing things last summer here in Chicago that convinced me that our government aided by Mexican agents in this country would start to persecute Minutemen members. Seeing as our government has decided it is no longer accountable to the people this really should come as no surprise.
Before this is over Minutemen will be in prison and dead, don't kid yourself. I suppose the upside is that this will make Hannitized happy, so there's that.

I don't know if it's because of the warmer weather we've been having or if it's just me feeling a little more adventurous but lately I have been obsessed with switching up my lip colour. Of course I simply adore a good nude (especially with a bronzed smoky eye) and up until a few weeks ago my all time favourite nude was Myth. I've seriously worn this shade since I was 16 (and it's so hilarious because the only reason I bought it was because Hilary Duff wore it LOL). It's such a standard in my purse that when my friends and I go out they just have to put out their hand and say 'myth'. Then, when I was in San Diego I picked up creme d'nude and OMG, it's amazing. It's a bit softer than myth and a bit less saturated which I really like because in all honestly if you put on too much myth you can end up looking like you're wearing concealer on your lips. Along with a good nude, I love a good red and ruby woo is one of my favourites. Ruby woo is super saturated with such a deep gorgeous red colour and it looks so gorgeous with a simple winged out eye. I've also recently discovered please me, thanks to my bridal makeup trial and I'm in loooove. This colour is the perfect soft pink that can easily be taken from day to night. Lastly candy yumyum, I seriously can't get enough of this lipstick! When you think 'pop of pink lips' boy oh boy is this ever it! It's super bright but surprisingly versatile. I've worn this shade with a bronzed look, a smokey eye, a simple eye, the list goes on. I can't express enough how much I love this shade and even though it looks a little intense you must give it a try! It's so much fun switching up your look and a new lip shade is the perfect way to do so! Which is your favourite mac lippy?
