One of the ocean's greatest services is its fisheries that provide a critical part of the human diet worldwide. Seafood now makes up 17 percent of the animal protein the world consumes and that demand is expected to double in the next two decades. At least half of the global fish supply comes from wild-caught marine fish—87 percent of which are estimated to be fully or over exploited. Aquaculture (fish farming) makes up most of the remaining balance.
Many fisheries have close links to particular ecosystems. Approximately 95 percent of all commercially important fish species depend on coastal habitats such as mangrove forests, coral reefs, seagrass meadows and saltmarshes, mud flats, and rocky shores at some point during their life. Numerous studies have looked at the value of fisheries in different habitats, as these "fish factories" generate critical resources, economic gain and a source of employment worldwide.
Coral Reefs
The abundance of fish on coral reefs is surprising, as many of the world's coral reefs are found in nutrient-poor waters. Their rich bounty is an apparent anomaly. In fact, this productivity is also fragile. Reefs are susceptable to many pressures, including pollution, sedimentation, climate change and overfishing. If too many fish are taken from a reef, productivity of the entire system is compromised. By the time most larger fish have been removed from a reef the complex ecosystem is more vulnerable to impacts from from diseases, tropical storms, algal overgrowth and other pressures.
By contrast, when fishing is limited, or well-managed, coral reefs have the capacity to feed coastal populations, generation after generation. This is important for small island countries where locals often have few protein options since agricultural soil is often poor and land is scarce.
Mapping Ocean Wealth: Coral Reef Fisheries
The global map of fish catch considers four elements:
- the reef productivity
- local fishing intensity
- international fishing for key target species
- management influences
The expected background productivity of reefs made a simple allowance for lower productivity on Caribbean reefs, as well as the reduction in productivity, which is observed in areas where human impacts degrade reefs. We then predicted local fishing pressure, assuming a direct correlation with the size of local human populations, further influenced by possible access to larger markets.
We also recognized that not all reef fishing is local. There is also a worldwide harvest of very high value species: sharks, large groupers and snapper, in particular, are now of sufficient value in markets, notably in East Asia, that they support a truly global fishery. Rarely sustainable, and often illegal, such fishing for key target species affects almost every coral reef in the world, with remoteness offering little protection. The final minor modification to our model was to take into account reef management. For this we factored in the role of no-take fishing reserves. In the model, we assumed that these would have increased fish populations inside (which could not be fished), but that such reserves would also enhance fishing opportunities in a halo around their perimeter.
Mangrove Forests
Mangroves provide a unique space for fish and shellfish. Their complex structure is a natural shelter—a safe space to breed, or to live and grow away from predators in early life. Mangroves also have abundant light, nutrients and oxygen which enable prolific growth not only of the trees, but also of algae and plankton. This powers prolific food chains.
Some animals, such as highly sought-after mud crabs, may spend all their lives in the mangroves. Many others, from shrimps to snappers, just use mangroves in their early lives before migrating offshore.
Many mangrove fishers are artisanal—fishing small volumes to feed their families and earn small amounts of cash at markets. They use traps, lines and cast nets to gather a mixed haul of fish, shrimp and crabs. Such fisheries can generate 100 to 1000 kilograms of fish per hectare every year. Other fishers target key and high value species, notably crabs, cockles, oysters and shrimp. These generate lower volumes but high values, particularly if they are close to important markets—some fishing grounds, from Fiji to Hong Kong generate, over US$2,000 per hectare year on year.
Many of these fishers are fully aware of their reliance on mangroves, however they do not always have the political influence to halt the destruction or conversion of mangroves to other uses, such as aquaculture, which can generate high incomes in the short term, but at the cost of multiple incomes, food security and jobs in the artisanal fishing sector.
Larger commercial fisheries operating offshore often overlook the mangroves on which they depend. Key among these is the offshore shrimp industry. Vast quantities of shrimp are trawled from the seabed in areas from Northern Australia and Malaysia to French Guyana, and all depend heavily on the supply of adult shrimp that began their lives as larvae among the tangled roots of coastal mangroves.
Mangroves: Mapping Ocean Wealth
Our initial global model of mangrove fisheries was built up from a detailed review of hundreds of studies from around the world, and informed by an expert panel. In terms of natural productivity, the most important areas are those with high input of freshwater and nutrients notably focused around estuaries, deltas and lagoons, particularly in the wet tropics. Fishing effort of course is uneven, but centered in areas where high populations live close to mangroves, or where smaller fishing populations may nonetheless have access to urban markets.
Our output map shows that high value mangroves are found on every continent and in most mangrove countries worldwide. Mangroves are of highest value precisely where humans and markets are concentrated. Although not surprising, decision-makers often overlook these factors: the apparent gains to be had from converting mangroves to urban, agriculture or aquaculture are rarely, if ever, weighed against the huge costs of reduced food security and livelihoods.
The improved understanding that comes from this work offers new opportunities to protect and better manage mangroves worldwide. The sustainable provision of food for vulnerable coastal populations is a benefit that cannot be replicated easily. Economic values are only part of the story of course, but existing studies show values ranging from hundreds to many thousands of U.S. dollars for just one hectare of mangrove every year. Such values are sufficient, in many areas, to counter demands for clearance or conversion of mangroves to aquaculture or coastal development. In many places, the derived values are sufficiently large to justify considerable mangrove restoration efforts in the many areas where they have been lost.
Oysters are consumed by humans as food. What is not always documented is that oyster beds also provide fisheries enhancement of other consumable marine life. The complex arrangements of oyster beds provide nursery and nesting sites for fish. Juvenile fish avoid predation by hiding among the beds increasing fish biomass. Oyster beds also act as attachment points for macroalgae and a variety of invertebrates.
Burrowing shellfish can also cycle nutrients within the sediments, enabling conditions that are important for many other species that reside within and above sediments.
Mapping Ocean Wealth: Oyster Goals
We compared the numbers of fish and crustaceans in or directly adjacent to oyster reefs to numbers away from reefs. This approach enables us to quantify of the "enhancement" role that the reefs play. The same species still survive without the oysters, but where there are healthy reefs they thrive. Often, larvae or sub-adults make up the throngs of fish around oyster reefs: many species find refuge here in their early life. Accordingly, even fish caught far from oysters may still depend on the complex sheltering structure of the oysters. We sought to quantify this life-long enhancement benefit from oyster reefs. Uniquely, we also sought to build a model that would capture the variability in this enhancement, and enable us to build the same uncertainty in our estimates.
We found that nineteen species were enhanced by oyster reefs in the Gulf of Mexico, while twelve species were enhanced on the Eastern seaboard of the US. One hectare of oyster reef in an estuary in the Gulf of Mexico will generate millions of extra larvae in the ecosystem. Only a fraction will reach adulthood, but a fraction of a very large number is still a large number. From the perspective of fishers, it looks like this—one hectare of healthy oyster reef in a place like Matagorda Bay will generate an extra 32,000 crabs of fishable age, just from a 100 meter –by-100 meter patch.
Scaling up to the bays and estuaries on the Gulf and Mexico and the Eastern seaboard of the US, we have a good picture of the total oyster reef extent in 31 of the major bays, and from these alone we find that oyster reefs are generating in the order of 185,000 (plus or minus 45,000) metric tons of fish to the ecosystem, year on year. These are additional to populations that would occur in the absence of such reefs.
Pelagic Fisheries
While some of the most important small-scale fisheries and recreational fisheries take place close to shore, many commercial fisheries take place further from shore, including benthic fishing (fishing for species closely linked to seabed habitats, such as cod) and pelagic fishing (fishing for species that are free ranging in the open waters, such as tuna).
The Mapping Ocean Wealth team conducted two regional studies that can be found on our demonstration site.
Salt Marshes and Seagrass
Gently undulating green meadows of grass-like plants carpet vast areas of calm shallow seabeds in both tropical and temperate regions. Just like grasslands on terra firma, these seagrass beds capture the sun's energy, generating food and oxygen, and providing a critical home for fish and other creatures. Lacking the drama of vertiginous reefs, they are often overlooked, and many have been lost both through pollution and by being torn up by trawlers scraping the seabed for flatfish and shrimp, or scouring by anchors and the propellers of pleasure boats.
We still have much to learn about seagrasses, indeed the best global map of seagrasses is simply a patchwork of local studies, full of gaps where no one has really looked. Scientists still disagree on whether there is as little as 170,000 square kilometers or as much as 600,000 kilometers of seagrass in the world. To understand global values, we need first to focus in and understand exactly what seagrasses may be delivering locally.
Set against this paucity of data, we located 11 studies from the coastal waters of temperate Australia. All of these had looked at the differences in abundance of fish over seagrass beds compared to unvegetated adjacent waters. Focusing on just 12 commercially important species, the results are astonishing. A single hectare of seagrass is generating some 30,000 additional fish to the community, equivalent to one kilogram of fish for every square meter. Using simple market values such a seagrass bed, just one hectare would generate a commercial fishery enhancement worth some US$24,000.
Large areas of the world's temperate shores are fringed by marshes. Too cold for mangroves, these are dominated by shrubs, herbs or grasses, growing over deep mud and cut through by myriad winding channels. Although exposed to the air for much of the day, they are occasionally covered by tides. Countless fish and shellfish benefit from their shelter and their rich productivity.
The MOW team is beginning to study the relevance of saltmarshes to fish production, but thus far the best knowledge comes from the work of others. One example comes from a team working in Galveston Bay looking at the abundance of three crustacean species. The brown shrimp and the white shrimp are among the most important commercial shrimp species in the USA. They are harvested from vast trawling grounds around the Gulf of Mexico and offshore of the US East Coast, with a total harvest of over 100,000 metric tons each year. A third species is the blue crab, whose commercial harvest around the shores of the Atlantic coasts of the Americas is of tremendous importance, but which also supports a large recreational fishery. Adults of all three species tend to spawn in waters near the coast, and young larvae float in the plankton before settling on the seabed right up in the coast and in estuaries.
Studies have shown that these three crustaceans all benefit immensely from the presence of saltmarsh. Each hectare of marsh in Galveston Bay is estimated to generate an extra 235 kilograms of shrimp and 170 kilograms of blue crab compared to the shallow waters nearby.

By the time he was ordained a priest, in 1574, Sarpi was an immensely learned monk, trained in philosophy, theology, mathematics, Greek, and Hebrew. His first assignment was as an assistant to Cardinal Carlo Borromeo in Milan. He was recalled to Venice a few years later and rose rapidly in the Servite Order. In 1579 he became Provincial of Venice and was chosen as one of three Servite scholars to revise the constitution and rule of the Order. In connection with this task, Sarpi spent some time in Rome to study the decrees of the Council of Trent. Here he became friends with Robert Bellarmine 2 , although later they became opponents.

Welcome to EarthTurns
Douglas Laboratories Y.P.D. Support Formula is a synergistic and comprehensive combination of vitamins, minerals, herbals, and other nutrients carefully formulated and specifically designed to offer nutritional support for individuals who wish to support their defenses against the stresses imposed by yeast.
Studies show that a high percentage of adults in North America and other developed countries eat less than the minimum daily allowance of 10 or more essential nutrients. Adequate amounts and proper balance of these nutrients are needed not only for maintaining good health, but also for the dietary management of the body's structure as well as the optimum functioning of its various systems, including the immune and gastrointestinal systems. The Y.P.D. Support Formula has been carefully developed to contain the right proportions of vitamins, minerals, trace elements, and other nutrients without danger of toxic build-up or other side effects.
Each ingredient is selected in consideration of its absorbability, competitive relationship with other nutrients, allergenic potential, and long-term safety. Certain nutrients such as beta-carotene, vitamin C, vitamin E and B complex vitamins are included in high-potency amounts because of the vital roles they play in antioxidant protection, energy production, the maintenance of healthy blood cells, the nervous system, hormonal balance, and more. Minerals and trace elements are provided in their safest and most bioavailable forms.
Y.P.D. Support Formula offers intensive support for the healthy functioning of the body in general, but also a blend of herbs and additional nutrients specifically formulated to offer additional support of the body's defensive response to the stresses imposed by yeast.
In healthy people, the intestinal microflora consists of balanced amounts of symbiotic microorganisms, providing nutritional benefits to the host. This balance depends on our dietary habits and can easily be disturbed by unhealthy diets or drugs, such as antibiotics and oral contraceptives. Under these conditions, opportunistic pathogenic microorganisms can colonize the small and large intestine.
Caprylic acid, commonly found in foods (coconut oil, milk fat, etc.), is a natural dietary fatty acid which helps maintain a normal intestinal microflora. Studies have shown that dietary caprylic acid helps support the body's immune defenses against yeast and other opportunistic microorganisms in both the small and large intestine. At the same time, caprylic acid does not adversely affect the growth of beneficial intestinal bacteria.
Supplementation with probiotic Lactobacillus acidophilus may promote normal intestinal microflora rich in lactobacilli and create acidic conditions that are unfavorable for the settlement of pathogenic microorganisms.
Y.P.D. Support Formula tablets may be a useful dietary supplement for those who wish to nutritionally support their natural defenses against yeast.
SIDE EFFECTS: No adverse side effects have been reported.
Free shipping for all orders within the USA!
Directions: Adults take 4 tablets daily with meals or as directed by physician.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct light. Keep out of reach of children.
Other Ingredients: cellulose, vegetable stearate and silica.
No yeast, wheat, gluten, soy protein, milk/dairy, corn, sodium, sugar, starch, artificial coloring, preservatives or flavoring.

Last time it didn't work, so I'm trying it again. Skyrim vs. Skyward Sword. 2011 Game of the Year. Vote in the comments.
Don't be coy. We know it all comes down to this. Who else was it going to be? Gears of War 3? Good one. Modern Warfare 3? Vomit. I'm just curious as to what the gaming community thinks at large, because I myself am actually pretty split. Did the slower paced, character driven first half of Skyward Sword turn you off? Could you not master the admittedly complex (and superb) motion based combat system? How many controllers did you break due to Skyrim's frequent and frustrating glitches? Sound off and vote in the comments below and let me know what you think.
PS: If you have time to kill, check out my At the Buzzer radio show @ atthebuzzershow.com, iTUnes, or Stitcher Satellite radio. We cover games, pop culture, strange news stories, and more. Give it a listen, you won't be disappointed.
Apparenlty, the new Zelda artbook (currently exclusive to Japan) outlines the Zelda timeline, which fans have debated about since the beginning of time. Now, full disclosure: I'm fully aware that there could be an issue with the translation, or that Nintedo themselves have not sanctioned the theory itself. However, I'm going to address the issues I have with the timeline based on what we know now, and what is currently lightning the message boards on fire and understandably confusing fans.
Let's start at the beginning. It's pretty well accepted that the recently released (and exceptional) Skyward Sword is the first title in the series, followed by the Minish Cap (which Nintendo has gone on record saying is the "oldest" game in the lore, years before Skyward Sword was released). And then things start coming apart.
Issue Number One: My first issue comes early--the next game they have listed is Four Swords. I can see why they would think that Four Swords comes next, as it is seemingly a sequel to Minish Cap that utlizes the Picori/Four Sword and chronicles the return of Vaati. Anyone who has played through the title, however, will remember that it is actually Ganon who is pulling Vaati's strings, and at the end of the title, Ganon is bestowed with his trademark trident. Ganon's (uneccessary) presence translates to Four Swords not being able to precede A Link to the Past.
The next game in this proposed theory is Ocarina of Time. No argument there. It's after Ocarina of Time that things really start to get fuzzy. In the theory proposed by the Zelda guidebook, not one, not two, but three timeline forks exist after Ocarina of Time.
Timeline A: We'll call this timeline A. According to this theory, Timeline A is the result of Link failing to stop Gannondorf, allowing Big G to continue his reign of horror and obnoxious laugh on the people of Hyrule. The theory states that the games in this timeline are:
- A Link to the Past
- Oracle of Seasons/Ages
- Link's Awakening
- The Legend of Zelda
- Zelda II
Issue Number Two: Um...where do I begin to explain what's wrong with this? First of all, at what point did Link fail to stop Gannondorf? Certainly nothing that we've ever played. There are only two outcomes that the player of OoT is privy to: the timeline that continues on after Link vanquishes Gannondorf and Adult Zelda sends Link back to live out his childhood, and the timeline that follows Link as he is sent back. This act creates the secondary timeline.
Issue Number Three: Even if we are forced to accept some implausible reason why there are three timelines, the fact that A Link to the Past is the first game of Timeline A is flawed as well. A Link to the Past clearly makes reference to Ganon being sealed previous to the game's events, hence the need for Agahnim to troll around Hyrule (making for yet another one of Ganon's puppets).
Now, I have no problems with the next two entries: I suppose you can make a case that Seasons/Ages actually predates Awakening, but it really makes no difference.
Issue Number Four: I don't really believe that Zelda and Zelda 2 take place after this, although they theoretically could. I just think there is a better placing for them, but I'll get to that later.
Timeline B: The artbook tells us that the second timeline, timeline B, is the clear ending of OoT: Link and the sages seal away Gannondorf, and Zelda returns Link to a boy, who then sets off to find Navi because his days aren't annoying enough anymore, an act that commences Majora's Mask. The book tells us Timeline B is thus:
- Majora's Mask
- Twilight Princess
- Four Swords Adventures
I'm actually somewhat okay with the beginning of this Timeline. Conjecture is required due to Gannondorf's involvement in TP, and the issue of sages sealing him using the mirror of twilight previous to the events of the game, but you can reasonably hypothesize that young Link, after the events of Majora's Mask, warned Hyrule of Gannondorf's treachery, changing the events and preventing Gannondorf's rise to power. TP makes reference to a hero; perhaps this Link sets off on a quest to gather the sages. While we can't be sure of the details without creating an entire new game plot, it's reasonable to assume this placement is correct. I would actually put the original Four Sword after TP, but before Four Swords Adventures.
Timeline C: This is the timeline that continues on after Ocarina of Time; Zelda has sent Link back in time, and the world is left to rebuild itself after the fall of Gannondorf. Some time passes, though, and Gannondorf makes good on his promise to return from the void; unfortunatley, this time no hero arises, and the God's are forced to flood the world to stop Gannondorf's evil. Timeline C, supposedly, is as follows.
- Wind Waker
- Phantom Hourglass
- Spirit Tracks
No real arguments here, except for the fact that I don't buy any Timeline A. Even in the world of wild conjectures and multiple timelines, it just doesn't make any sense to me. My personal belief is the timeline is as such:
- Skyward Sword
- Minish Cap
- Ocarina of Time
From here, the timeline splits. Timeline A follows Link as he returns to the past.
Dibbi Timeline A
- Majora's Mask
- Twilight Princess
- A Link to the Past
- Link's Awakening
- Oracle of Season's/Ages
This timeline makes sense for a few reasons. Without getting too specific, the references to the Triforce (including who has it at what point), the sacred realm/twilight realm, and Gannondorf's evolution all align. In fact, the Oracle games hinge on the fact that the assemble Triforce calls upon Link and sends him on the journey to the other dimensions. While it's foolproof by no means, all the essential pieces add up.
Dibbi Timeline B: This second timeline follows adult Zelda and the world after Link is sent away, as is clearly detailed in the intro movie to Wind Waker.
- Wind Waker
- Phantom Hourglass
- Spirit Tracks
- Zelda
- Zelda II
"Why Zelda and Zelda II at the end?" you ask? Just because I think it makes more sense. These two titles at the end of Dibbi Timeline A could also technically work, but I feel like after the destruction of the prevoius Hyrule in Wind Waker and the subsequent search for a new land to call Hyrule lends itself nicely to the fact that the Hyrule in Zelda is a mostly barren wasteland, and the land in Zelda II is a mere shadow of the Hyrule depicted in later games. I understand that this is because of the limitations in hardware, but if I can come up with an excuse that fits with the story, then why not?
Do you agree that three timelines is absurd, or do you like the possibility. Do you hate the way I've arranged the games in my own timeline? Leave a comment and let me know.

SigmaLongshot 3 years ago#1
I personally work for a games company and though whilst my job isn't core design, I am a designer tasked with some intricate nuance-nitpickery and general idiosyncratic alteration. What's come to my attention is that a lot of people are slating Titanfall for other titles it's apparently "too much like" - and yet there are a lot of things that are either unique, or like entirely different games.
The very first thing that should be noted is the elephant in the room - Call of Duty (specifically the Modern Warfare style of multiplayer). It's evidently very texturally similar, and the general speed, depth and locomotion evoke Modern Warfare 2 especially. But this is the veneer - the outer coating - and should be gauged as such. Titanfall actually has one thing that brings it more in line with the late 90s/early 00s in terms of general gameplay.
Verticality - the ability to see the playing field by more than just two or three vertical levels, but full movement on a horizontal plain - and scale vertical distances quickly - that's something actually further in line with Unreal, Tribes, and perhaps even Quake 3 Arena - though with the added gravity of this generation's expected physics.
Furthermore, though the pilot gunplay is slightly more forgiving in terms of damage output/absorption than, say, Call of Duty Ghosts, it retains that weapon "feel". Though once again, allowing a more diverse, multi-slot inventory for weapons, this retains a more "classic" mechanic.
And then the Titans themselves. Now this one is a point that, whenever I raise it, people go nuts - but think about it before you condemn it. The energy output, shielding, increased height and damage - it's to appeal to the Halo crowd. If you cut away the jump height of a Spartan and made them three times the height, the gameplay wouldn't be immensely dissimilar; moreover, look at the in-titan HUD, circle-strafe and quick-dodge mechanic - THAT is lifted straight from Metroid Prime, where the combat is all about LATERAL agility over VERTICAL agility.
It's easy to dismiss the game's design on first glance entirely on what's seen in videos - but that's not completely fair. Until you play it, you simply cannot judge how different the combat styles and nuances in battle are. It has far, far more interesting design influences than simply "CoD again" - if a game that looked precisely like CoD was to be judged solely on it's mimicry value, then surely Medal of Honor: Warfighter would be just as popular.

"Titanfall Topic! BLARB BLARB BLARB!" - there, I said it first, so you don't need to post it or variations on that sentiment.
What you say is pretty reasonable, but with all due respect, could you provide proof of your work position? That would really make your insight more solid.

Do you know what? Having waded through so much trite, nonsensical slap-fights on this forum I'd really questioned whether or not posting genuine insights and in-depth synopses was worth it - if maybe, people were totally uninterested in the actual discussion of gaming as an entertainment form (as opposed to a mere thing to fight about).
This message genuinely does give me a huge boon to my optimism, Reflex. Thanks for it.
If only we could be a little bit more accepting - a little more open-minded - that one game featuring an avatar of you battling a foe could be more enjoyable than another game where an avatar of you battles a foe.
Cheers man. If you ever come to Scotland, I'll get you a pint.

Without getting namby-pamby game-designer-whinge-minge about it, this is actually called "distilled genre theory" - where a game attempts to isolate and later refine the absolute most pure points of a genre.
The antithesis of this is, in the industry, referred to as "the feature creep", where the designers instead to disregard good game design for padding out inventory, weapon set, abilities, resolution, frame rate - and generally making the experience "bigger".
Titanfall is perhaps one of the first major distilled genre game since Team Fortress 2, and I commend that.

Carlack Acrylic Kit
This kit comprises...
1 x Carlack Long Life (500 ml)
1 x Carlack Fast Detailer (500 ml)
2 x Meguiar's Microfibre Applicator Pads
...and offers a 10% saving compared to buying the contents separately.
Carlack Complete should be applied to freshly decontaminated paint using one of the supplied Meguiar's Microfibre Applicator Pads. Only 3-4 pea-sized drops of product are required per panel, and these should be wiped in as firmly and evenly as possible to produce a film that should then be allowed to dry fully (out of direct sunlight). Once completely dry and hazed over, this film should then be buffed off carefully using the supplied PB Super Buffing Towel (if the film proves difficult to remove at first, lightly mist it with Carlack Fast Detailer and continue buffing).
Step 2- Carlack Long Life
Carlack Long Life should be applied using one of the supplied Meguiar's Microfibre Applicator Pads. Only 2-3 pea-sized drops of product are required per panel, and these should be wiped on thinly and evenly to form a hazy looking film that should be buffed off immediately using the supplied PB Deluxe Buffing Towel (if the film starts to dry out and proves difficult to remove, lightly mist it with Carlack Fast Detailer and continue buffing). If you wish, you can apply multiple coats in quick succession, as long as you leave 30 minutes between each one.
Step 3 Carlack Fast Detailer
For best results, lightly mist Carlack Fast Detailer over a single panel at a time and immediately wipe the panel down to spread a thin, even film of product using the supplied PB Luxury Buffing Towel. Then refold your towel, and buff the panel down carefully to fully remove the film and reveal an intense streak-free shine.
Care instructions for applicators and towels
(i) wash after each use in a washing machine at a low temperature (40°C) using a non-biological liquid detergent (avoid soap powders and detergents containing bleach or fabric softeners); (ii) allow to dry naturally on a line or tumble dry on a cool heat setting (avoid radiators and other sources of high heat), and; (iii) store in a dry, dust-free environment while not in use (lidded plastic storage boxes are ideal in this respect).

"Left dreading my return"
About: Mount Vernon Cancer Centre Mount Vernon Cancer Centre HA6 2RN
Posted by Anonymous
Staffing I was surprised that the reception queue was so long, I waited 23 minutes to reach the front. There were people much less able to stand than I. I was seen promptly by the radiographers for my radiotherapy planning . Communication I was seen by a young woman whom I assume was a student. The students explanations were very poor, she was friendly enough, not rude just unclear in her communication. I was not told she was a student until half way through the procedure and this obviously took longer than normal and left me with discomfort. I also believe it would have been better to supervise her patient contact. However I was shocked at how little was done as the letter I received said I could expect to be there half a day. This caused problems with transport provision. Hygiene/Maintenence My "consultation/chat" was done at a desk in a corridor covered with buckets and bowls with dirty rain water in. Best bit was the man in the post room selling car park tokens, actually spoke to me like a normal human being and knew what he was doing.

If you are thinking about such a position, then you must have heard that this is a field where big money can be made. Well, it's partially true – big money can be made depending on what you sell (the niche you are working in) and depending on your skills.
First of all, you should know what you would be doing on such a position. Most probably you will start as an entry level salesman, be involved in some training sessions, the product or service of the company will be presented to you and then you will be asked to start selling. If you are lucky to get a job in a larger company, you will go in the field with a senior agent to observe how things are done. If not, you are on your own. Your job is to contact clients (some already existing in the company database, some brand new that you think of), convince them to meet you, present them the offer, give details and answer tons of questions and again if you are convincing enough and if they need the product or service you sell you will get to close the deal and cash a nice commission. Sounds easy? Well, don't bet on it…
Right now you may have some native skills, but you have no experience and you have had no training. Why should they hire and pay you if they can get someone who has experience, who comes with a network of customers and who will sell for sure? Well, the first thing you need to learn how to sell is yourself.
Start preparing a strategy. You have no training – then get some: selling techniques, direct marketing, viral marketing, etc. Don't expect your employer only to organize this for you. To show them you are interested, do some trainings on your own, read books, talk to other agents, get connected (I recommend LinkedIn), then put all these details in your CV, add your native skills if you have any that might be useful, then start applying to jobs. Get prepared to be rejected, but never give up. It's crucial. If you give up, then you don't have the main skill that you need for a job in sales – being perseverent, not taking rejection personally and understanding the other side's perspective.
Some additional trainings you can get involved in besides sales techniques are communication, public speaking and negotiation skills. They will also help you during the interview. Expect a lot of role plays and get prepared before. Ask one of your friends to test you and also talk to yourself in the mirror to get used to the presentations. Good luck in getting hired and here are a few Sales FAQs that might help you decide if this is a job for you.
Is there another position I can start on?
Yes, merchandiser. This is someone who approaches clients in large stores or areas where target customers wander around and offer them free samples of products, talk to them about offers and discounts sometimes even asking them to buy something .
What's the nasty part of sales?
Getting rejected over and over again. Don't take it personally and don't give up. This is going to make you stronger and help you come up with better and better presentation and arguments until one day you will realize you've become one of the best in your field.
What should I sell?
Start with something you know or like even if you don't make that much money. If you love reading, start selling books. Knowing and loving the product helps you come up with arguments that will convince the customer. Then, after you have learnt the sales techniques, you can move up to products that really bring you the big money – like luxury cars, homes, any other luxury goods. Of course moving up is not mandatory. If you like what you sell and you are satisfied with your earnings, you can stick to your initial product or service.
How should I address the potential customer?
By identifying a need they have and offering solutions to that need (your product/service of course). If the customer doesn't have that need or if you don't convince them that they do, your scope is lost.
How important is networking?
Crucial. Being sociable and getting to know people allows you to identify their needs. They will trust someone they have known for a while to sell them something than someone brand new. Also, try to get recommended. A satisfied customer will bring you his friends and family, so more money.
What's a target?
It's a number (number of products sold, amount of money cashed in, number of contracts signed, number of customers contacted) that you need to pursue on a given period of time. Achieving your target and even going above it are the things that you need to focus on in order to be a successful salesman.
How do I start finding customers?
Create a strategy in order to work organized: think of who might want/need your product/service and then prepare a list of names and contact details. Start with the people you know, then the people recommended by the ones you know and only then go to strangers. Again, don't give up. Some customers may not even bother to answer the phone or agree to meet you. Just don't give up, search details about them and think how you can approach them. You need to remember that your target in front of them is not to get rich, but to solve a need they have. This is how you think your presentation.
How do I present the price?
Always have a price prepared, show it to the customer when they ask about it or include it in the printed materials if you offer the client any (and you should do this for them to have something to think of otherwise they will forget all about you the second you're out the door), but mention that you are willing to negotiate discounts, offer them additional benefits and so on.
How do I present the product/service?
Present the main features that you think would interest the client and solve his/her need first. Deciding to buy takes only a few seconds. If you're not able to capture the attention during the first moments, the sale is lost.
Start with the need it is addressing then have a lot of arguments prepared. Always study competition before and be prepared to receive questions about the advantages you offer compared to the competition. Offer solid arguments. If your product is better, but costs more, talk about quality and its durability in time. If it's not, be prepared to discuss lower prices and additional benefits you are offering. Sometimes you may be selling the same product as the competition so additional benefits and your relationship with the customer are key elements in the final decision.
How should I behave?
Be open, listen carefully to questions, don't contradict openly, keep answers to questions short and precise, and try not to waste the client's time. If the client clearly rejects you, try to understand why and try to come back in a while with something new in terms of product/service, with a new offer of discounts or simply during a period of time when the client has money or is able to buy. Again, don't give up and don't be aggressive and desperate to sell no matter what. You don't only want a customer, but also want the customer in front of you to recommend you further. Agreeing with them the best time to come back is better than a sale pushed upon the client who will never want to hear about you again. Show you care about their needs too and not only your profit.
If there's any additional question you would like to see here, please write me on my email or post a comment here.
Good luck with your careers and take care,

11 June 2013 arrived shattered after early flight to be given a room on the 3rd floor. I booked a double room with sea view only to open the door to nearly fall over 2 single beds and a view of the street! After much deliberating with reception I was given another room miraculously on the 7th floor but was told the lift was broken and wud only go to the 6th floor and wud hav to walk up 3steps (actually it was 17!!) room had double bed but had to walk to the end of the balcony to get sea view. Still wasn't what I booked but was better than other option. We were half board, couldn't fault breakfast although was always cold!! Coffee and juice in abundance with the breakfast, however...evening meal we found all drinks machines switched off!!! When I ordered a drink with my meal ( again, cold) was immediately asked for room number and given a bill to pay for my drink!!!! Shouldn't I hav had free drinks with being half board??!!! Pity the people on full board as u had no wristbands to wear and when I asked fellow travellers who were full board, the drink situation they told me the machines are only switched on for breakfast!! Shocking!!! Quite expensive for drinks as there wasn't even a fridge in your room!!! What's that all about??!!! Service in the dining room was pathetic, as while I was eating my last mouthful the waitress took my plate away, on more than 1 occasion, from under my nose!! I found a lot of the staff quite miserable and not very friendly towards the English although you we're okay if you we're Spanish. Towels changed if you put them on the floor, however, bed linen NOT changed at all for the duration we were there (7 nights)!! As for the pool area....we didn't bother!!! Shabby, dated and very small!!! We certainly won't be returning to this hotel and certainly wouldn't recommend it!!! Katy and chris :(

Okay, so this guy that i'm pretty sure he likes me (he told my sister) has been all sweet last week, but the last time we talked on fb he was all like we should go out, but then i was like "if my parents let me" and he was like "yolo" and i was like "hmm sorry but no" and then he was like "alright lets just move on from this conversation" and I just let him on seen.
The thing is im pretty nervous about the whole dating thing, and he seems like so experienced and im just not, and i dont know what to do
Should i apologize to him for not anwering, or just let it go,
Btw: we both are 17 years old
- Should i date him?Vote A
- Should i not date him?Vote B
Most Helpful Guy
Unless you want to be girl number 1,000,001 and counting I'd suggest not dating him at all and keeping him as a friend. If he's had that many girlfriends a-... wait what am I saying. He asked you out over FACEBOOK! That shows a lack of confidence and interest in general. He's not someone you'd probably enjoy dating. Experience with dating? More like experience breaking hearts... most likely over Facebook too lol. But seriously if I were you I'd just not date him at all, not worth the trouble down the road.
Hope I helped you. Feel free to ask me questions or message me ^_^00|00|0
well more like 3 or 4 ( i tend to exaggerate), and he is in school with me and we have been hanging out during school, and left me a note with a chocolate on my desk (i know, not that original), and he told a friend of mine that he would ask me to his gf this week, and i was like not cuz them i will pull a vanishing act... but i still dont know if i should date him.. (as just might notice i am extremely confuse)
Well get to know him better, learn about his ambitions, what he likes to do, why he likes you. No need to rush.

Disney Grapefruit Cake
Recipe by Pinay0618
This cake is served at the Brown Derby at MGM Studios Orlando. It's wonderfully light and tart-sweet.
Top Review by mollymustang
Loved the flavor!! It's very refreshing! Not sure if it was just my attempt, but the cake seemed a little dry...I'm thinking I might add some more "moisture" to the batter next time or could easily substitute a store-bought white cake mix (for times when I want something quick and easy). Also, the frosting on my cake covered only the middle layer and the top of the cake (which made for a pretty presentation); Next time, I'm going to try to double the frosting recipe and frost the whole cake.
