Is Your Agency One Of The 99% (Does Your Agency Have the Patience to See New Business Through?)
Post by RSW/US Vice President, Client Services Juri Tults
No, the question I ask is not an economic one because nearly every ad agency would answer they could be enjoying more billings and bottom line profit.
My question is upstream from billings and profits, and has everything to do with the basics of new business… staying in front of prospects through mail, email and phone calls, whether they are in a buying mood or not.
When I oversaw new business for my agency not that long ago I never took a prospect's "No , not today," the inability to reach them by phone after repeated attempts or their lack of returning a voice mail as meaning never.
However, that is often how it seems 99% of agencies look at new business when attempting to reach out to prospects… one swing, sometimes two and maybe a third, and if they miss a connection, they're "out" of patience.
Keep On Keepin' On Indeed
Frankly, it is often the element of patience and persistence that drives new business success.
RSW/US experiences this all the time with our clients.
While we strive for quick success, the rewards of our efforts can bear fruit several months or, yes, sometimes a year or more after prospecting began.
Prospects have told us on more than a few occasions that while they never took our call or responded back to an email sent, they were reading our messages, visiting our agency's website and finding value in our value added emails, even to the point of sharing them with other members of their team.
And all through the silence we are building awareness and credibility on behalf of our agency client, so when our NBD called and the timing was right, the answer was "yes" and let's talk.
So, does your agency have the patience to see new business through? It's a war of attrition, driven by patience and persistence. If you have neither, welcome to the 99% and a new business program that won't reach its full potential.

I admit up front I am very new to this. I have read multiple threads and have ended up with no clear answers. My wish it to use the opensource version 5.xand smart phones (Palm PDA, Palm Treo, Motorola Q) synch their calandars bi-directionally using a usb synch cable or docking station.
My questions are:
1. Can this be done with the Open source version.
2. What program would you recommend to do this with?

|Paul Pierce, SF 31 MIN | 4-18 FG | 1-2 FT | 5 REB | 1 AST | 9 PTS | -20
We'll all feel better about this in the morning, but for now, this is going to be mean.
Having a terrible shooting night is one thing. Pierce has been inefficient all series, but that's not fully under his control: he's trying to hit hit shots. But totally commandeering the offense in an effort to shoot yourself out of a hole is inexcusable. Pierce chucked up 18 shots, four more than Rondo or KG, in only 30 minutes when everyone else in the building was silently begging him to stop. That's not leadership. It's egomania.
|Brandon Bass, PF 34 MIN | 5-8 FG | 2-3 FT | 7 REB | 0 AST | 12 PTS | -11
Earlier in these playoffs, Bass was routinely getting 10-12 shots per game. Not sure why they couldn't find him more often tonight, considering he played more minutes than Pierce or Garnett and he's been guarded by SFs throughout the series. Claps for Doc for making the bold switch to put him on LeBron (35 points in, but still).
|Kevin Garnett, PF 31 MIN | 6-14 FG | 0-0 FT | 5 REB | 0 AST | 12 PTS | -16
He wasn't guarding LeBron, so the abortional defense isn't fully on him, but he still let LeBron defatig his supposedly indefatigable spirit. His five rebounds were about as harmful as his refusal to put Pierce on the deck after his 12th shot.
|Ray Allen, SG 36 MIN | 3-7 FG | 3-4 FT | 3 REB | 1 AST | 10 PTS | -6
Don't think for a second that he's playing passive because he only took seven shots. Ray has effectively been cut out of the offense because A) he's too slow to get space and B) the drive-and-kick game has been struck from the playbook. When Pierce or Rondo attacks the basket, they're going up with it, forgetting that if there are three guys around them that means someone's probably open. When Rondo does this he usually converts anyway, so no harm done. Pierce just hasn't been driving often enough to get a good sample size.
|Rajon Rondo, PG 41 MIN | 8-14 FG | 5-7 FT | 4 REB | 10 AST | 21 PTS | -25
Easily the worst 21-10 on 57% shooting game you'll ever see. He got to the rim with the greatest of ease and successfully took his jumper off of blocks, but some of his passes looked like Muggsy Bogues clumsily trying to act like the Monstars stole his skills. He should have taken over at halftime, but hard to do that with Pierce consuming all matter and light. Lots of ill-conceived gambling on defense.
|Keyon Dooling, PG 15 MIN | 0-2 FG | 0-0 FT | 2 REB | 1 AST | 0 PTS | -14
Dooling stands as the representative for the entire bench here: irrelevant.
|Mickael Pietrus, SF 21 MIN | 1-4 FG | 0-0 FT | 3 REB | 0 AST | 2 PTS | -10
Shot 1-4, still managed a higher efficiency than Pierce. Yes, all of these are about Pierce. Based on tonight's game, that's how he likes it.

As we say goodbye to the age old "Pentium" naming scheme for good, Intel have finally decided on the official shelf names for their upcoming desktop "Conroe" and notebook "Memrom" CPUs. These will both be branded as "Core 2 Duo" processors, with high-end Extreme edition chips stamped as "Core 2 Extreme" models.
Details incl. some brief roadmap info can be sourced over at DailyTech folks.
Intel has just passed us word about a new branding decision for the upcoming second generation Core processors. Intel's first generation desktop Core processor, Conroe, will carry the moniker Core 2 Duo, suplementing the 65nm Netburst Presler micro-architecture. Notebook processors, earlier dubbed Merom, will also carry the Core 2 Duo moniker even though the processors are very different than the desktop Core 2 Duo chips. The highest end desktop processors, previously named Extreme Edition, will be labeled as Core 2 Extreme opposed to the mainstream Core 2 Duo.

Normally, I don't do product reviews in return for products. I prefer to spend my own money on stuff; that way, if it doesn't do what it's supposed to, I can bitch and moan all I want without worrying that I'll offend somebody. This time, though...I was intrigued.
I was also very hot and sweaty, and couldn't imagine wearing compression stockings for twelve hours in a hospital where the air-conditioning is from a previous era (the Neolithic). Rose was kind enough to let me put off the trial and review, and the socks arrived last week in tandem with mercifully cool temperatures.
Now then: I did not spend my own money on these puppies*. However, I would happily spend money on more of them; they're just that good. Seriously: if you've got problems with ankle swelling and sore legs after twelve hours on your feet, the two best things you can buy are Birkenstock insoles for your shoes (have them fitted by somebody who knows what they're doing, please) and a pair of Knit-Rite's Core-Spun Therafirm sockses.
Rose sent me three different pairs: A light pair of trouser socks in Screaming Sealing-Wax Red (to benefit women's heart health), a pair of heavier socks in grey (Silver Corespun) and a pair of white ones (Plain Corespun).
Bad news first: The red trouser socks, while pretty and bright and cheery, did not fit my extremely stumpy legs. I had to turn them down twice to get them not to go up over my knees, though they did--and this was a pleasant surprise--stay turned down without rolling or cutting off my circulation. They were 10-15mmHg compressions, just like the other two pairs, but they didn't seem as...I dunno, *beefy* somehow. I mean, my legs didn't hurt (though my feet sweated like hell, but then, they do that in nylons), but I didn't feel any real oomph from the socks. I like compression hose to have some oomph.
Ladies' nylon trouser socks from Knit-Rite: Grade: B+. Good for when you know you'll be standing around a while, then sitting, then standing, and need something that looks professional in a suit-and-blouse way.
Now for the good news: The other two pairs of socks? Rocked out.
I am not kidding, Peeps: These are going to get heavier rotations under my scrubs than even my SmartWool anklets (which, by the way, after only six months of not-too-heavy wear, are full of holes--I'm lookin' at *you*, Crappy SmartWool Manufacturers!).
The grey ones are very, very dark, almost black. They look like actual dress socks like a guy would wear with a suit. The compression is considerably oomphier than the red socks, but I couldn't tell much difference between the grey Silver Corespun and the white Plain Ol' Ordinary Corespun.
The white ones are, well, white knee-length socks.
Both are made with CoolMax, and both kept my feet from sweating. Looking at the boxes now, I see that the grey dress socks are made with a higher proportion of CoolMax to nylon, which apparently makes them static-resistant (they are. Definitely). Both have noticeable compression when you put them on, though you don't have to wrestle them into place like you do with higher-compression stockings. Both are generous through the toes, which is nice, because the last time I wore SuppHose ten years ago, I nearly lost my right big toe.
Both of these heavier pairs lasted well through two twelve-hour shifts during which I was running around with my hair on fire. My legs didn't itch, they didn't leave weird little grooves in my skin, they fit my 17.5" calves like a dream. And my ankles were not swollen at the end of the day.
Let me say that louder: MY ANKLES DID NOT SWELL ALL DAMN DAY LONG.
The only problem I had with the white socks was a little static toward the end of the day, but it was only noticeable to me.
So: Knit-Rite unisex CoreSpun by Therafirm Socks, either Silver or Plain-O: Grade: A+.
Try 'em out. Also check out the website; Knit-Rite does all sorts of fascinating things for people with prosthetics and AFOs and spinal braces. It's interesting.
Thanks, Rose! My white socks are in the dryer now, for use this week on the floor.
*Therefore, I have no clue what they cost. As long as it's not half my liver, though, it's totally worth it.

Seriously Espn that kinda seems like a waste of money.
Steve Bartman, an accidental icon of Chicago Cubs futility, is getting thrust into the spotlight once more.
ESPN announced Wednesday that it has commissioned a one-hour documentary on Bartman, the Cubs fan whose attempt to catch a foul ball late in Game 6 of the 2003 National League Championship series was cast as some kind of catalyst in the long-hamstrung team's eventual collapse that year.
The revisiting of the Bartman incident and a look at its ugly legacy by Alex Gibney, writer-director of the Oscar-nominated "Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room" and the Academy Award-winning "Taxi to the Dark Side," will be part of ESPN's "30 for 30" series.
According to ESPN, Gibney will attempt to answer the question: Can Bartman ever forgive Chicago?
"30 for 30" has the cable sports network presenting 30 documentaries from various filmmakers, each covering a different topic from the past 30 years, to mark ESPN's 30th anniversary. The first is set to debut in early October, with the last scheduled for late next year.
The project is the brainchild of the estimable Bill Simmons, ESPN.com's The Sports Guy.

What a waste of time. I guess having one of their reporters stalk him for 2 years wasn't enough?
Any idea of Bill Simmon's is worth taking a look at...he is very smart and very funny!
This whole 30for30 series is getting outstanding reviews. They got a bunch of famous documentarians and filmmakers and let them pick their own stories from the last 30 year (since ESPN's been around) and basically gave them carte blanche to make something good. How Simmons convinced the suits to keep their hands out of the creative process I don't know, but he seems to have succeeded.
Their webpage has a list of filmmakers and subjects... ESPN - ESPN Films - ESPN
Not worth the effort
I think they are asking the right question... Can HE forgive Chicago... Not the other way around.
I would love to see the day that Steve Bartman sings the 7th inning stretch at Wrigley field.

I wasn't aware that question even needed answering. In fact, I'm pretty sure ESPN answered that question four years ago.
ESPN.com - E-Ticket: Searching for Bartman
It sounds like Bartman is just a Cubs fan who wants to get on with his life. I don't think any (serious) fans actually blame him for the Cubs losing.
That was just a bad deal. It really was a game changing momement, but the Cubs did a fine job of ******* down their leg the rest of that series on their own. It would have been nice if Bartman would have not reached out, but it was an instinct thing. I probably would have done the same thing.
When will they do a documentary on Alex Gonzalez' inability to field a ground ball?

Yes. Good question.
It'll be an intriguing documentary to watch, especially if that article is any indication of what's to come. Something about watching a trainwreck like that is completely attention grabbing.

Suspects sought in Institute shooting
CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- Kanawha County sheriff's deputies are looking for three men involved in a shooting Thursday in the Institute area.
Deputies went to Thomas Memorial Hospital just after noon Thursday to talk to Stephen Humphries, 21, of Nitro, who drove to the hospital after being shot, according to Lt. Sean Crosier of the Kanawha County Sheriff's Department.
Humphries told deputies he was on Curtis Lane in the West Dunbar/Institute area looking for his sister when three black men walked up and demanded his money. When he refused, one man pulled out a gun and shot at Humphries, hitting him in the leg.
Humphries jumped into his car and sped off without turning over his wallet, Crosier said.
Each of the men is described as being about 5 feet 11 inches tall and in their mid-20s. The man with the gun was of medium build, with mid-length hair, Crosier said. He was last seen wearing a gray long-sleeve shirt and blue jeans.
Anyone with information is asked to call Cpl. C.E. O'Neal at 304-357-1069. Callers may remain anonymous.

Johanna Gretschel
There are people who seem as though they can do it all, and then there are people who really do. Graduating senior Allie Evans not only has balanced the hectic schedule of an athlete on the Tulane University swimming and diving team with a public health workload, but she also is dedicated to community work.
She was likely the only one shocked about her distinction as one of 12 recipients of the Conference USA Spirit of Service Award. The honor represented C-USA's winter sports athletes.
The aspiring nurse typifies the qualities of leadership, determination and independence that mark every swimmer recruited to jumpstart the program's return in 2009.Her advice to incoming student-athletes: Branch out and experience everything Tulane has to offer. "If you love it, you'll be able to balance it somehow. You're only here for four years, and it's not a long time."
Johanna Gretschel received a bachelor's degree with an English major from Tulane in 2012, and she will graduate on Saturday (May 18) with a master's degree.

Nintendo has so far been smug about its current lead on the console market and its latest representative to brag about the wider consumer-base is Nintendo of America boss, George Harrison.
During an interview with gaming site, Wired, Harrison called both Sony's Sixaxis controller and Microsoft's Viva Pinata unsuccessful tries at getting a piece of Nintendo's market, saying that "Sony rushed out their Sixaxis controller as an effort to respond to the Wii remote", a statement Sony has long denied, prefering to maintain that the controller was a well-guarded secret which was only revealed at E3 2006.
At the moment, the NoA boss smugly predicts that Nintendo will be ending this war with 50% of the market and 35 million Wii console sales in the next 4 years He credits this to consumers being satisfied with current generation technology, even if the PlayStation 3 offers better graphics.
"There's a price point and there's the quality that's holding the PlayStation 3 back. They're selling so many PlayStation 2s because people are saying, 'You know what? The graphics are pretty good, the price is good, and the library is good.' So we have a great expectation that this lifecycle's actually going to last more than five years," he told the site.

It's safe to say that last night's Saturday Night Live with Lindsay Lohan in the host's chair was…interesting. Personally, I don't think it's something we can fault Lindsay for, because you could tell she was really trying. It was really more the writing that took a tumble this week. It's as if the entire writer's room decided all they needed to do was make fun of Lindsay's recent drama than anything else.
Sadly, I don't know if it was quite the comeback we were looking for, but I'm still hopeful. We've still got her Elizabeth Taylor Lifetime movie to look forward to, as well as some sexy new thriller. None of that seemed to have Lindsay down as she hit up the SNL after party with the likes of Jon Hamm, Jennifer Westfeldt, Paul Rudd, Seth Meyers, Jimmy Fallon and more.
I think we can all agree on what the best sketch was, though. Ladies and gentleman, The Real Housewives of Disney. Oh my Zeus, I was laughing so hard. Check out the sketch after the jump and make sure to tell us what you thought of Lindsay's hosting gig in the comments!

Ask a Business Lawyer. Get Business Law Questions Answered ASAP.
Hello, I will be assisting you.
You could file a complaint with the Office of Fair Trading but that will not get you your damages of £4k
Realistically, your only remedy to get the money back is by filing a law suit with small claims court
Before you do that I would send a demand notice to the agent / distributor asking for your damages and giving notice of your intention to sue at which time if you win they will generally be responsible for your legal fees as well.
to file a complaint with the office of fair trading go this link
for small claims you would need to file a complaint with a County Court Money Claims Centre. You can find the closest one to you by following this link

OK, so what is the purpose of a Statutory Demand?
Surely the moderrn equivalent of the 5 bob frightener, is of use. If we settle for the clear failure to supply a correct and valid unit, and forget the extras, the case is clear cut, and defined in financial terms.
A Statutory Demand is a formal notice by a creditor requiring a debtor to pay off an outstanding debt or to secure it against a property. You are not yet a creditor. You could become a creditor if damages are awarded to you by court or if you were a bona fide creditor by providing a service and the service was not paid for. In your case the distributor sent the wrong boiler and that caused damages, this would not amount to you being a creditor of theirs.
Even if you send a statutory demand, the distributor will most likely act to set it aside (they would have 18 days to do so) bringing you to court where they will point that you are not a creditor of theirs. That court hearing will not be about the substantive facts of the case rather about the impropriety of the Statutory Demand. Which means that you will be no better off than you were at the beginning and you also risk paying their solicitor fees.
Kindly leave a positive rating for my response. Without it I do not get credit for my time. Thank you.

Amari Cooper is, by all accounts, as mild-mannered and polite a young man as you'd ever want to meet.
For NFL defenses, he's been a rude slap in the face — the same kind of slap that Cooper felt a few years ago.
The Oakland Raiders receiver is the first rookie since Mike Ditka in 1961 with three 100-yard performances in his first six games. Cooper, the fourth pick in last spring's draft, and St. Louis Rams running back Todd Gurley are midseason favorites for offensive rookie-of-the-year honors.
The slap Cooper absorbed came on an unofficial recruiting trip to Florida State, after an assistant coach from his high school issued a challenge to Seminoles...

Hi, a warm welcome to silkysteps, to help get a plan together for tackling this can you collect copies of your settings policies and procedures? Familiarise yourself with what they say and know what they mean for you as you go about your day to day practice - ie. how things happen in your seting/plaement eg. for risk assessment, first aid, illness or sickness, incidents, injury, accidents, emergencies .. fire, evacuation & drills, lost or missing child, intruders .. and how things are reported - in what books/logs and the information you are expected to enter.

I have done this unit xx
There are a number of important principles to think about when you are planning for healthy and safe environments or activities with children. Most of these are common sense but you need to remember that everyone is an individual and may have different needs. There are several points to take into consideration when planning safety –
• Every child is an individual – with different needs depending on their age and abilities. You must think about this when planning activities.
• Some children have specific needs such as sensory impairments.
• The different needs of families and careers must be considered.
• Always be clear about why you are using the environment in question, the activities a child encounters and what sort of services are offered.
• The duty of care of a setting to children, parents and careers is a legal obligation. You should always have the child's safety and welfare in the front of your mind when planning.
• The desired outcomes for the children are the starting point. Most activities with children should have clear aims and objectives that are based around the required outcomes linked to their age.
• Lines of responsibility and accountability are down to everyone that is employed in a setting , responsibility for the health and safety of children and staff are down to all employers and there should be clear reporting responsibilities.
Any setting should have clear policies and procedures about all aspects of health and safety. All rooms and equipment used by children should have regular checks to ensure that everything is working well and is safe. Some of these checks are required by law ie. Electrical equipment must be checked by a qualified electrician every year.
Managers should make sure that health and safety checks are carried out as required. In the case of an accident, failure to check equipment could have serious implications.
It is important that visitors follow safety guidelines to protect children in the setting.
People who work there will be given instructions and training on health and safety. But how can a manager of a care setting make sure that parents, careers or work people know about health and safety requirements?
The information that they will need depends on several factors-
• How long they are at the setting
• Which areas of the setting they have access to
• There role and responsibilities
• Contact with the children at the setting.
The setting should have copies of all the latest legislation and guidance as well as their own policies and procedures. The internet is a very good source of information, here are some websites about health and safety –
• Health and safety executive,
• Child accident prevention trust,
• Department of education,
The most important legislation in the UK is the Statutory Framework for the Early Years Foundation Stage. Since 2008 this sits alongside health and safety legislation and covers every aspect of the welfare of children which includes –
• Safeguarding
• Suitable people
• Suitable premises and equipment
• Organisation
• Documentation
There are differences in the exact application of health and safety legislation in each of the countries in the UK. It is important that you familiarise yourself with the framework in your own country. You should be aware of the following-
• Health and Safety at Work Act 1974
• Product safety marking
• Motor Vehicles (Wearing of Seat Belts)(Amendment) Regulations 2006
• Control of Substances Hazardous to Health (COSHH) Regulations 2002
• Reporting of Injuries, Diseases and Dangerous Occurrences Regulations (RIDDOR) 1995
• Childcare Act 2006 – this sets out the statutary framework for assessment of settings, including health and safety in EYFS in force from Sept 2008
• Smoking Ban – UK wide in indoor public places from 1st July 2007 (EYFS includes a legal requirement to ensure children are always in a smoke-free environment)
• Food Hygiene legislation 2006
Any setting or activity carries a level of risk, by identifying and reducing risks in advance, full use can be made of the setting or activity to maximise the value to and enjoyment by the children in your care.
There are several different risks that you need to consider-
• Physical risks
• Security risks
• Fire risks
• Food safety risks
• Emotional risks
• Personal safety risks
Effective management of risk should become automatic as you become more experienced. For every activity you plan, you should think about the hazards, the likelihood of the hazard occurring and the control measures.
If you see a hazard as part of your day to day work deal with it straight away, it can be as simple as mopping up spilt water or moving toys of the floor.
Risk assessment forms are used to assess hazards and identify control measures for all activities and outings, in our setting we also have risk assessments for the use of mobile phones and the internet.
A good risk assessment is only valid at the time it is carried out. Although the setting, outing or activity may be one you have used many times, one very important factor will change-
The children taking part. Effective risk assessments must take account of each child taking part and the number of children.
Once you have started the activity that you have risk assessed it is important that you monitor the risks you identified and if anything changes you should review and change the risk assessment immediately
Any activity a child does involves some risk. If the activity is well planned and organised with thought given to possible risks the likelihood of an accident or injury should be minimal. The secret is to balance the risks of an activity against the benefit to and safety of the child.
Risk and challenge are important to a child's development. Avoiding all risks and challenges would result in a very timid adult lacking in many everyday skills and abilities. It would be very easy to respond to all the risks to which children are exposed by not allowing them to explore or experiment.
Children need to explore their environment, it is one of the ways in which they learn, but it needs to be a "safe" environment where the risk is controlled by adults. Children need some freedom in order to develop their skills.
Understanding the stage of development a child is at and their individual needs can help you to provide the right amount of risk in activities.
Children learn by trying out new experiences and making choices. But they do not have the skills and judgement to make safe choices. Careers have the responsibility to identify potential hazards in any situation and to judge when it is safe to allow a child to undertake an activity or make a choice. Some children need this freedom to explore risk more than others. In a well-controlled setting the child can be encouraged to explore and try out new skills.
Children are usually very good at deciding what is safe or not. Using large play equipment is a good example of how children assess and manage risk. Without adult or another child's interference most children will not stretch themselves beyond their capabilities.
If a child in your care has an accident it is your main responsibility to know what to do in an emergency and to carry out the required actions calmly and confidently so that you meet one of the prime aims of first aid, which is to preserve life and to prevent the effects of the injury becoming worse than necessary.
The correct actions after an accident can save life, ie. People have died unnecessarily as a result of a blocked airway that needed little skill to open. A valid paediatric first aid certificate is a requirement for many child care jobs, here are a few things to do when faced with an injury –
• Keep calm
• Assess the situation
• Airway – is it open?
• Breathing – are they breathing?
• Circulation – is there a pulse?
• Bleeding – check
• Call for help.
All children will have an emergency contact number but it may not be the child's parents, because of work commitments may make it difficult for them to be contacted, it may be that the grandparents or auntie that is the emergency contact instead but these are all things that need to be checked at the time.
The person in charge must get in touch with the emergency contact as soon as possible and inform the relevant person of the incident, and where the child has been taken. Obviously, someone the child knows well should go to the hospital with them until there parents or other careers arrive.this will help reassure the child and be a point of contact when the parents arrive.
Under certain circumstances accidents may need to be reported to the Health and Safety Executive, particularly if the child is seriously injured, examples of this would include –
• A major injury (such as fractured limbs, electric shock, unconsciousness)
• If the child is absent through the injury for more than three days.
Even a minor accident requires an entry to be made in the accident book, for more serious incidents a full report is needed. After any such event the person in charge should examine the circumstances to see what can be done to prevent any similar occurring.

Hi, take each of these tasks separately and slowly, can you check submission dates so you know how to pace yourself?
For the first task use your setting's policies and procedures to guide your response.
Factors are listed on the unit
CYP 3.4 page
How things are managed in your setting will be evidenced by your knowledge of what happens day to day and what your policies say.
Sources are listed above. Identifying them is all that is necessary.
If you have copies of the setting's policies and procedures how they're implemented will mean how they're carried out eg. if room checks happen, storage arrangements for equipment, tools, chemicals are maintained
For task 2 the
HSE's myths
are a good behind the scenes look at why people's approach to health and safety can sometimes be over cautious or so generous that injury is a risk.
The search page
on site will help find member's queries for the rest, enter words from each criteria to look xx

Hi !! Please could you help me with unit 4 !!! im so stuck 3 days i have been doing this and still no further!!
unit 4
i have written :
2.4: Explain how health and safety risk assessments are monitored and reviewed
Health and saftey risk assesments are monitored and reviewd useing a checklist as required to prevent any accidents, they are reviewd by each member of staff and then once completed it is monitored by the manager / deputy manager. All equipment, bathrooms and rooms should be check for any risks to children or staff. Health and saftey is monitored in my setting by carrying out risk assesment checks for example on the sheet of paper it can say " plug sockets " so we will check all plug sockets and ensure that all of them are coverd and secure to prevent any fatal accidents. they are then reviewed to ensurer that the room and setting is safe enough for the children to play in. It is important to keep up to date with all legislations
but need to expand and write Why is it important to regularly review and update policies and procedures and keep up to date with current legislation?

Nothing makes it quite as comforting to wallow in our romantic woes around the holidays quite like Joni Mitchell. Her male equivalent, James Blake, has a similar knack for making sad songs we love, just in a more robot-who-can-feel kind of way. Blake's path intersected with Mitchell earlier this year when he covered "Case of You "on his EP, Enough Thunder, and now we have a video to go along with it -- starring Rebecca Hall of "Vicky Christina Barcelona" fame -- to make us think about past lovers, just in time for the holidays. Why, Blake, whyyyy.

Who got screwed over the most?
KSU did put together a decent resume.
Better than Illinois or Purdue.
I never thought I'd see the day when Syracuse with a 10-6 big east record would get snuffed......ouch for them
Choosing Stanford was just ridiculous. Syracuse fiinished much better. So did KState. I would like to see the names and locations of the people who made up the committee. I thought Florida would have been a #1. UNC has the easy way though the tournament.

UNC will lose to Texas in the third round.
I thought K state and Syracuse got screwed. Illinois and Stanford did not belong.
The Bowlsby effect strikes again.
What bothers me is that their logic seemed to change for some different teams, i.e. conference tournament performance mattered for some but not for others.
Illinois? What? You have to be kidding. They split the Iowa series. Theuir signature win was at Indiana. On the road or any decent team, they lost. They are so Average. Drexel was better. NIT woiuld not have taken them.
isn't the term your looking for 'snubbed'?
anyways, illinois and stanford have no business getting in.
I know that Air Force lost a couple games at the end of the year, but their rpi is 30. They had good wins, and I was surprised that they weren't in. Especially since they made it last year, and they had a better resume this year.
Jeffrey A Crawford
I agree with Darts (1st sign of the apocalypse).....Air Force was in the top 25 for much of the season. Drexel also deserved to be in.

They lost their last 4 games. A mid-major just can't do that and get an at-large bid.
Someone look at Purdue and tell me how they are in the NCAA tournament.

No, I made up a new word:)
Air Force started fantastically (17-1 IIRC) but really fell apart at the end of the season. They picked the wrong time to stumble and paid for it.
Arkansas also didn't deserve to get in. Yes they made it to the SEC final, but they beat two mediocre teams to do it and the SEC is down this year as a conference.

Progress Texas Democrats bring the creepy to an anti-Abbott ad [Darleen Click]
Gregg Abbott has been a paraplegic for 30 years and uses a wheelchair. Exactly who were the soul-dead poltroons who conceived and approved photoshopping Abbot as standing?
And not just standing, but towering over a small, melanin-enriched woman?
Just so wrong.

That's why Lefties hate the T.C. — that last one is like throwing holy water on a vampire.

So the Big Piggy represents a better salary, supposedly unearned but given to a Fiend of the Patriarchy. The sidelong glare from the short-haired gal with the smallish piggy and the bad haircut represents Leftists' pained and miserable lives; mostly spent regretting their own insubstantial standings and their inability to fondle their little Piggy and just be happy.

Minyon Moore, a close Clinton confidant, has been connected to the guilty plea of businessman Jeffrey Thompson, who admitted to federal prosecutors that he made $3.3 million in illegal campaign contributions.

Rep. Greg Walden, the Energy and Commerce subcommittee chairman for Communications and Technology, worries that the FCC's recent decision to pull a controversial study on how newsrooms decide which stories to report won't be the end of the matter.
"I think we caught them on this one. They were well down the path before we got wind of it. They'd already hired the firm, they'd already begun the process, they'd already picked the market," the Oregon Republican said.
Walden said he intends to pursue answers to several outstanding questions involving the "Critical Information Needs" (CIN) study.
For example, Walden wants to know why the pilot study was going to take place in Columbia, S.C., noting that then-FCC Acting Chairperson Mignon Clyburn approved the CIN study.
Mignon Clyburn is the daughter of high-ranking Democratic South Carolina Rep. Jim Clyburn, who represents Columbia.

Why on Earth should they need worry that they would be denied an abortion? Doesn't needing an abortion mean that someone actually cared enough to knock them up in the first place ?

@ havel page 105
The problem of conformity and non-conformity, position and
opposition, consent and dissent, exists solely because there are
socio-political differences in society and differences in power, which
in turn have differing degrees of privilege attached to them. As I
understand it, privilege, which in some instances overlaps with
power, means the ability to act and attain certain goals. Privilege
can correspond with the political establishment, in which case it is a
conforming privilege. To be the son of a government official and
thus be guaranteed the right to a university education is to enjoy
conformist privilege, one that is positive in that one attains a good
position in society but negative in that one forfeits true individuality.
Non-conformist privilege is associated with membership in the
underground or political opposition. Measured by general standards,
this brings a low level of social prestige but a large degree of
social individuality, independence and authenticity. Everyone is
free to choose which category of privilege they consider sufficient
for their lives. Individuals who have decided to lead lives consistent
with their own moral sense will, in the deprived totalitarian society,
lean unequivocally towards non-conformist privilege. In doing so,
they will be exposed to many difficulties and stumbling blocks in
practical life, but their approach will be characterized by openness,
seeking, self-confidence, conviction, a free critical sense, selfcriticism
and even a smiling self-irony, all factors not to be taken
lightly in the preservation of one's sanity under the constant barrage
of threats from the authorities.

So is she the OTHER Texas Attourney General who unjustly isn't payed as well as the one everybody elected? It's supposed to be about equal pay for equal work not some random person jealously realizing that "I don't get paid an Attorney General's salary because nobody elected me for three four year terms in a row, and that's just totally super-WRONG-O!! Fix this Wendy Davis! Despite the fact that the Governor has nothing whatsoever to do with setting the Attorney General's salary in Texas…"

"I'm just guessing of course, but it's a well-known fact that Joe Biden is a poltroon; and while it isn't known, it's probably a safe bet that his soul is a least sleepy."
Joe Biden has a clip-on soul made of genuine virgin polyester.
palaeomerus says March 12, 2014 at 3:08 am
Why won't Greg Abbot agree to let this woman get paid as if she was the Texas Attorney General too? Is it because he hates women? Stand up if you hate women Greg! If Wendy Davis were governor then Wanna-be Attorney Generals would get big ceramic pigs of their own, even if they were women who aren't Texas Attorney General. Because Justice thing feelings.
bobby b says March 12, 2014 at 3:54 am
He's not standing – he's sitting in his wheelchair.
If you look closely, you can see that the woman – who appears to be at least six inches shorter than the wheelchair-bound Abbott – is also sitting in a wheelchair.
However, being non-white, she may only possess the smaller and cheaper "coloreds' " wheelchair model. It's about four inches shorter than the standard model, plus the wheels don't actually turn.
Abbott has the "Deluxe White Oligarch" model of wheelchair. It's two inches higher than the standard model; its built-in weapons systems were designed by Tony Stark and automatically target on any nearby non-whites.
His rich white man's wheelchair is just one of the many totems of his privilege.
The Monster says March 12, 2014 at 7:38 am
The very notion of an "Equal Pay Act" is based on the conceit that government can decide whether the work two people are doing is "equal".
The people who insist there is inequity between what women and men are paid commit several errors.
They compare what women are paid to do jobs dominated by women like schoolteacher and office clerk against jobs dominated by men like collecting garbage and catching crab on the Bering Sea. Women simply are not willing and able to endure the physical demands of the higher-paying jobs in the same numbers as men are. But saying that is seeeeexist, so we aren't supposed to take that into account. Women more highly value working limited hours in comfortable working conditions close to home so that they have time for their families and friends.
They refuse to recognize that the distribution of ability is not the same in women and men. The mean IQ of men is only a few points higher than that of women (given a man and woman at random, there's a 45% chance the woman has a higher IQ), but the standard deviation is much higher. That means that there are both more male idiots and geniuses than female of each category. There are a lot of women in the 90-120 range who are comfortable in jobs through the middle management level, but for highly-demanding jobs that require people several sigmas above the mean, there are significantly more men than women.
In virtually every measurable characteristic, there is more variation among men than women. The heights of fully-grown women are also more closely clustered around their mean than those of men. There are logical reasons why evolution (which the proggs claim to believe) would allow males to vary more than females, but according to the Unified Field Theory of Leftism, we are not allowed to notice any statistical differences between protected and unprotected groups (other than those that can be spun to make the protected groups superior to the unprotected).
If facts are seeeeexist, raaaaacist, or homophooooobic, we may not express them. Therefore, if a protected group's income is lower than an unprotected group, there can't be any other possible reason than discrimination.

bgbear says March 12, 2014 at 11:33 am
I am surprised they made both pigs white.
Also, aren't most piggy banks pink?
Whatever happened to the euphemism "comparable worth"? That was the phrase formerly applied to the pursuit Monster describes, because "equal pay" would have been understood as useful only in comparing apples and apples.
I guess the fundamental transformation of the language has progressed somewhat since the '70s.
bgbear says March 12, 2014 at 12:03 pm
Sometimes I say that "I am underworked and overpaid" just because I think someone should say it every once in awhile.
Dave J says March 12, 2014 at 1:22 pm
Progressives just dont understand….He can support a bigger piggy because he has bigger wheels and a lift on his chair. You got to jack your shit up in Tejas…and wimins cant be climbing up in no big rigs, well at least not with out those step things.
That, and its like the ACA is …now. Its all about on what you choose to spend your money. If she hadnt spent the money on that necklace and earrings maybe her bank would be larger.
Occupy pork!

Kerry Cites Very Real Gaps in Iran Nuclear Talks
Newscast Media VIENNA—U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry says nuclear talks with
Iran have made good progress but there is "still work to do" to meet a July 20
deadline. Speaking after talks in Vienna between six world powers and Iranian
officials, Kerry said there have been "tough negotiations" and that "very real gaps"
remain in the positions of the two sides.
He said he still believes there is a path forward and that both sides are working in
good faith.
Kerry said he is returning to Washington to consult with President Barack Obama and
Congress about the prospects for a long-term deal with Iran.
Kerry said he has told Iranian officials that the 19,000 nuclear centrifuges the
country possesses are too many.
Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said in a speech last week that Iran
needs tens of thousands more centrifuges.
Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif, in a separate news conference on
July 15, said that although he still hopes a deal would be possible by the July 20
deadline, he believed enough progress has been made to justify an extension.

Wes Welker: Pats 'giving everything we've got for four quarters' to get No. 1 seed
|12.30.11 at 3:27 pm ET
FOXBORO — You can forget about all the talk about Sunday against the Bills being just another throwaway game and playoff tuneup against a lowly AFC East rival to close out the regular season at Gillette Stadium. And you can forget about looking ahead to resting starters and taking them out if the game is close.
The Patriots head in at 12-3 and can simply wrap up the top seed and home field throughout the AFC playoffs for a second straight season with a win.
Last season, the finale was meaningless in the standings as the Patriots had already wrapped up the No. 1 seed before they pummeled the Dolphins at Gillette to improve to 14-2.
This year, with the 11-4 Ravens and 11-4 Steelers both holding tiebreakers over the Patriots, the situation is more pressing.
"That's the whole key, trying to get home field advantage this weekend, being the No. 1 seed," Wes Welker said. "That's definitely something that's on our minds and something we're playing for, and understand we have to come out and play really well from start to finish."
So he expects to play 60 minutes Sunday?
"Absolutely, absolutely, this is a big game for us," Welker said. "We understand that and know we have to play real well to win."
And your quarterback Tom Brady and his left shoulder? You expect him to start and play, as well?
"Absolutely," Welker repeated. "This is for a No. 1 seed, fellas so we're going out there and giving everything we've got for four quarters."
Asked what significance he attaches to the No. 1 seed, Welker played coy and had some fun.
"Well, you get home field advantage if you win, so that's kind of the key," he explained with a grin, before turning all serious. "But it's huge and being able to know you're going to be at home, no matter what, is a key thing."
As for last season, something Vince Wilfork referenced after the win against the Dolphins last Saturday, the Patriots remember they finished last year with the top spot and were beaten in a shocking loss to the Jets.
"Last season was last season but we're not trying to get ahead of ourselves or anything," Welker said. "We're just understanding Buffalo is a good team and they beat us the last time we played them, so that's motivation enough there as well. We have plenty of [motivation] factors coming into this game and we have to use them all to try and come away with the victory."

A gruesome act and all involved need to face charges
Dear Editor,
I'm shocked, appalled and mystified by the front page picture of a 14-year-old boy that was brutalized and tortured by the hands on the law enforcement officers of Guyana. This is without a doubt a slap in the face of every poor Guyanese, which unfortunately is over 80% of the population.
Just to clarify and get my point off, it seems that Guyana has a government that gives its police force blinded autonomy to operate with disregard, harass and ill-treat the poor of the country.
Regardless of what their so called motive behind this type of barbaric act may be, the fact is, it was a gruesome act and all involved need to face charges.
The time has surely come for the government to exercise some sort of control and show the people they are truly committed to revamping the police force. There needs to be checks and balances.
I've spoken to several people across the United States from Florida to Georgia, New York to Illinois and the common feeling is one of disgust.
It seems as though the people of Guyana are timid, soft, weak, introverted and sad to say, like to be taken advantage of. Could you imagine if something like that happened in Trinidad, Jamaica, Barbados or god forsake the United States. You would have riots, boycotts, charges, firings from the Commissioner to the Minister. But the fact is, Guyanese are a weak people that historically have never really stood up to people in power.
I hope that this changes things, the eye of the world is looking down on Guyana, it's really interesting to see what the Democratic government of Guyana does.
