Templar Commentary - Fundamental DesignPutting balance aside for now, I want to talk about how the Templar fits into Crowfall's combat. I will touch on three areas – Design/Role, Skills, Customization – and contrast the good with the bad; identifying what makes this class fun. Most of this feedback is directed toward ACE, with an emphasis on design philosophy and achieving "fun". Feel free to contribute to that goal. Let's try to avoid "in 5.7 Templar is so weak, buff plz". Tell us what you like about the Templar; what really makes the class fun? DESIGN/SKILLS Originally designed as a tank with an area-control theme, the Templar certainly has a place in Crowfall's large scale fights centered around defending and capturing specific points of interest. Many of the skills that form the "core" of the Templar are tailored made for that. However, there are a number of other skills that spark your imagination to see other possibilities as well. But first, what is the core functionality of how the Templar is supposed to work? In the most basic terms, the Templar uses their LMB attacks to generate PIPs to be spent on more powerful abilities; very similar to combo points. There are some skills that also generate PIPs (more on that later). While the theory is fine and is used for similar classes in other games with great success (WoW Paladin), it fails to deliver in Crowfall for a few simple reasons: You generate too few PIPs per time spent using LMB. This is compounded by the need to be in melee to even generate PIPs and the burden of only the 3rd attack generating PIPs. Devotion feels like a band-aid in this area (healing is a separate discussion). Most skills that spend PIPs don't even feel strong enough to use. As a point of reference, most discipline skills do way more damage and cost 0 PIPs. Essentially, this amounts to the Templar's resource system being completely ignored. This is, in part, due to the silly PIP generation of Divine Light. In a large group fight (which the Templar is designed for), every pulse of Divine Light can give you full PIPs. You literally cannot even get close to spending them as fast as you get them. Nor would you want to, because you should be holding RMB and spamming E like a good little Templar. Which leads me to the over-arching conclusion of the Templar: One Trick Pony. If your enemies are not standing in your Divine Light and triggering your Parry, then the Templar is neither effective or fun to play. SKILLS Great Swing 1 – Great Swing 2 – Great Swing 3 As above, the biggest problem is all the PIP generation taking place on the 3rd swing. (Suggestion: Each attack generates a PIP and then the spenders cost more PIPs to start the chain, but subsequent attacks in the chain are free.) Censure The biggest problem is how buggy this is. I would much prefer the vertical "jumping" element be removed in favor of a more standard "charge" implementation. Some other ideas could be to do something similar to GW2's Warrior "spinning dash" skill. (Suggestion: Some way to customize our build and give this skill 2 uses – like racial dodges – would be fun) Reproach - Castigate – Radiant Sweep/Righteous Smash Long and slow. This combo sees limited use because skill 1 & 2 stink (a lot) and people need to be not paying attention to be hit by the third one. Radiant Sweep is obviously really strong, but Righteous Smash is lacking. The damage is weak and the resource generation is borderline useless (see DESIGN comments above). (Suggestion: Give the first 2 skills of this combo more damage or some other reason to be used, then buff the damage on Righteous Smash by a good amount.) Judgement – Execute Perfect. Unique, powerful in the right circumstances, and fun. Some of the most fun I have playing Templar is using this skill. Divine Light Very strong skill, really fits the Templar design and role. The PIP cost/generation mechanic needs to be overhauled. A single 2 PIP upfront cost and no additional cost/gain would be appropriate. Should be Holy Damage. (Suggestion: Would really like to see some build customization around causing some effect to enemies that either enter or exit your Divine Light, choose to have it follow your character, or cause other skills to be more powerful while in your own Divine Light) Devotion Really great skill. The best element being that you heal based on the damage you do. Very fun dynamic. The "Sin" dynamic needs to be looked at again as there is no synergy with other skills. (Suggestion: Emphasize this as the healing option in damage oriented builds and Divine Light stronger in supportive builds; base values/scaling need to be looked at to make that happen.) Holy Warrior Although I don't think it works, the theory of this skill is great. Allows Templar to cut through heavy mitigation classes/builds/buffs in a way that others cannot. However, it feels like this should be an ultimate for offensive builds. Righteous Stand – Righteous Parry While this is supposed to be a class defining ability, it is simply too strong. It is the primary source of damage and crowd control. A re-design that gives the Parry a cooldown and removes the knockdown is probably warranted. Retaliate Uninspiring. Low damage, nothing unique (sin reduces cooldown is useless with stamina change). Also devalued because we currently spend a lot of the time holding RMB and therefore avoiding CC (especially true when it was bugged). (Suggestion: Have it additionally do damage and reflect the CC back to the player who placed it on you. Would allow some additional tools against ranged classes.) Brilliance Generic. No real synergy with anything. Should at least be holy damage, but something more impactful should be explored. CUSTOMIZATION There are many solution-oriented comments sprinkled throughout the Skills commentary above. But to define the problem, we lack the ability to customize our characters to a degree that can, in any meaningful or successful way, change our role. This is a more striking weakness on the Templar because of the complete lack of a ranged option (which I think is fine). The only real Disciplines in the game that help versus ranged attacks are the ones that give you ranged attacks yourself. It is almost a "if you can't beat them – join them" philosophy. (Not counting the silly, cancerous "reflect" or "immune" to some specific damage type Disciplines.) Additionally, replacing your Templar skills with discipline ones makes you feel like "not a Templar" instead of a "different Templar". That is obviously a larger game issue but seems exaggerated in the Templar. I would love to see a new take on a WoW-like talent system where you have to make choices, and everything seems powerful, but perhaps in different roles or circumstances.
Motherlode harvesting skills and group comp?
Kirchhoff replied to Arcadi's topic in General DiscussionThe 0 damage thing is frustrating and there is only so much you can about that. See this post for @Spawl for more information:

Motherlode harvesting skills and group comp?
Kirchhoff replied to Arcadi's topic in General DiscussionSounds like you misunderstood him just a bit. It does NOT matter who hits the node from 76% to 75%. It only matter who did the most damage during the 100%-75% period. This is a relatively trivial thing to setup. Give the person with the best training the best tool and literally have them just hold left click (don't even use buffs). Everyone else use worse tools and spam the Foreman skills. It is usually even simpler, because having the training for better drops means you probably (or should) have training for more node damage anyway. The only time it becomes a concern is when you have 2 trained gatherers in the same group, but only 1 has gem training. Again, just use much worse tool and you will be fine.

Hungercast Special Guest...Gordon Walton!
Kirchhoff replied to Keaggan's topic in Crows of a FeatherSuggestion: I have no idea what the purpose of announcing everyone who follows the stream with an annoyingly loud and obnoxious blaring horn actually is, but at a minimum don't do it while you have the co-founder of the game talking. Seems incredibly disrespectful to your guest and doesn't allow your viewers to actually hear him.
Yea, WoW developers talked about the idea of having "pristine" servers (or w/e they called it), in response to people asking for vanilla. I think it is an itch that can only be scratched once. That is, I don't see anyone playing on these fresh start servers more than once. In a game designed to be a grind for more and more character power, with a huge focus on obtaining better items through infuriating RNG systems, there just isn't a large amount of people who will be willing to continually reset their characters (beyond the standard expansion type resets). These things have a way of being extremely popular to begin with, but quickly fade away. Even the population that continues on through the whole process to grind through the PvE tiers and "beat the game" have little reason to keep playing in that environment. And to think people will continually engage in month long grinds to get "world first" kills is very unlikely. That is where Crowfall is different. It isn't a carrot on a stick gear grind, a huge portion of your progression is in the skill tree system, and there is no scripted PvE content you have done a thousand times. The focus is on winning, through territorial PvP dominance of the world. In that case, when it is won, both the winner and the loser look forward to and are excited for a "new game". Those feelings simply don't exist in traditional PvE tier grind MMORPGs. Lastly, I don't really think that the "continual reset" mechanic is what really draws people to Crowfall. I believe it will (and should) be the abandonment of the traditional PvE model combined with the absolute focus on PvP as the only means of achieving anything that will attract and keep players.
stack all button
Kirchhoff replied to Devonic's topic in Suggestion BoxThey should make materials auto-group and become a single "block". For example, when you toss 2 stacks of ore into your bank/inventory, they automatically become a 2x1 block that moves together in the same way a weapon would. As you add more ore, it becomes larger. Obviously we would need a option to edit the shape (do you want 9x1 or 3x3) and to turn off the feature if so desired. But yes, inventory management needs a lot of work. Just moving things around is slow and unresponsive.
I'd like for Templar to be more open world viable
Kirchhoff replied to AceSiN's topic in General DiscussionUnfortunately, we have been through this topic a million times already and nothing has really changed. Overall, I think this issue is the result of a few poor design decisions (based on current iteration): Dodge and Parry can only be on RMB Maps are largely wide open with limited options to "LoS" Everyone gets ranged weapons (except Templar) All of that makes Templar extremely weak in 1v1 and open world situations. Every single class/race has the ability to kite a Templar to death. So it's not like other games, where maybe half the classes counter you or something. Literally any class with access to a range weapon (all of them) is a counter to Templar. As for the Templars strengths, they are largely based on a gimmick and abusing a single over-tuned ability combined with a bug. Divine Light gives you infinite PIPs in big group fights (gimmick) You can spam parry counter attacks (over-tuned; no cool-down) while having a 30 second parry buff (bug) So, no, Templars are not in a good place. Not only are the Templars weakness too weak and strengths too strong, but their strengths are clearly not going to stay as is; they are broken. They need to even things out a lot. Having group combat as the place where Templars shine is fine, but not to such an extreme. That being said, having mobility as a weakness is a perfectly fine design. In fact, combined with Parry preventing crowd control, you might even consider that a wash in the kiting department (you lose mobility, but people can't easily crowd control you to create distance). However, Crowfall kiting is an abomination compared to what such a system should be. Having racial RMB powers be the primary mobility is inherently flawed. Mobility and kiting needs to be handled on a class level, not race. Also, different colored dodges as the strongest kiting powers is perhaps the most boring thing I can imagine. Also, giving everyone a dodge makes landing a melee combo stun a mathematical impossibility. It just compounds the solo vs. group issue (i.e. you cannot watch every animation in a group vs group, but you can in 1v1). It seems silly to me that I get kited on a Templar because I don't have a racial RMB power. It seems more like I am limited by technical game mechanics (parry/dodge can only be on RMB) than balance reasons. We are also significantly lacking the ability to "customize" our playstyle in any meaningful ways (other than bows - which are just plain too good). Even the elements that are in place to tinker with your build don't work for Templar. For example, playing Elken would be a great way to compensate for mobility issues, except it cost 3 PIPs (which you don't have if you are being kited). Nethari would be another option for a quick burst of movement in combat, but you have to give up your class defining mechanic to use it. There are so many ways this could be addressed. Hopefully we see some of these things added, changed, and fixed in the coming months. Having said all that, in order to "deal" with this issue right now, try this: Play as Nethari (20m dash - big AoE DoT), use the Blademaster discipline, resource reduction passive, and equip a bunch of discipline attacks. The result is that you end up with most skills costing 0 PIPs and most of them do way more damage than your base skills (hello Critical Hack). You also need the food that gives you Trailblazer. You do all of that, and you are still at a huge disadvantage, but you at least get to play the game when you see other people. If you see a melee, quickly try to swap Parry back on and hope they don't have a bow (long shot).
Runemaking Question (Tools + Experimentation)
Kirchhoff replied to RNG's topic in Crafting & EconomyOnly thing that matters is the total number of PIPs used during the roll, not how you distribute them. So, yes, spending 5 in Grade and 5 in Durability would be the same as spending 10 in Grade. In fact, you will "even out" the curve of your crafts if you split your rolls up like that. That is, doing 2 rolls that are each at 5 in Grade and 5 in Durability, will offer a "less extreme" curve of results than rolling 10 in Grade and then 10 in Durability. Essentially, you will end up with less really bad ones and less really good ones and tend more toward an "average". Simply because rolling a 0 on a single roll is more likely than with 2 rolls. Similarly, rolling an amazing with 1 roll is more likely than with 2 as well. So, you can use statistical probability to your advantage, depending on which results you are looking for. For example, when making white tools, you might want to just YOLO all your PIPs in Grade (because anything less than a great or amazing roll is worthless - and you don't have enough space to spend your PIPs anyway). However, with blue tools, using the above method might be advantageous because an "average" blue tool might be valuable. That is just an example of some of the decisions you can make as a crafter. The impact is not huge (and is only noticed with large amounts of crafts) and is very much a function of missing features (blueprints and factory production). Happy crafting!
Runemaking Question (Tools + Experimentation)
Kirchhoff replied to RNG's topic in Crafting & EconomyYou don't have to roll them all in one thing. Using the 15 PIP example, you could put 7 in "grade" and 1 in "durability". That would count as an 8 PIP roll.
Runemaking Question (Tools + Experimentation)
Kirchhoff replied to RNG's topic in Crafting & Economy@Groovin In your above example, the potions do not really impact "the best you can make". You can, in fact, get +86 with or without potions. A 7 PIP Amazing is the "cap" for a green tool and that result can be achieved once you have at least 7 PIPS. The potion just increases the chance of getting a good roll. Also, you will be far better off rolling 6 & 6. While it will have a negligible impact on spread of +mining on your picks, you will see a much better yield on durability (which actually matters on tools). @RNG You don't need to know what percent a 7 PIP roll is. Getting the bonus is very simple: Use half or more of your PIPs on a single roll and you will get the bonus. That is it. So if you have 12 PIPs, roll 6 & 6. If you have 20 PIPs, roll 10 & 10. If you have 15 PIPs, roll 8 & 7 (note: 8 is more than half, 7 is less). That is why having an even number of PIPs is advantageous (both rolls are bonus). You can, to some degree, manipulate this with the "experimentation points" potion. That potion adds .8 PIPs and only whole numbers count. So by either using or not using it, you can usually get yourself to an even number. Generally, crafting in this game is very reliant on RNG. You can make tools with white quality materials that turn out better than ones with legendary materials. That is just how it works. Think of the quality of the materials as the potential a crafted item has. For example (made up numbers): White quality - Results from 0-50 Green quality - Results from 0-60 Blue quality - Results from 0-70 In the above example, you can still make a 0 with every single quality material. The only thing that changes is on the high end, which is achieved entirely by RNG. Obviously, over time, better materials with yield better results, but in any one specific instance you can fail miserably.
It should not trigger dizzy/dizzy down, but should break stealth.
Kirchhoff reacted to a post in a topic: Pre-Alpha 5 Live! for February - Official Discussion Thread
I think we need to understand the answer to what the deathblow mechanic does to a player. A lot of people thought it meant a forced tow-truck, but as understood in this post, that might not be the case. Hopefully we can get a clearer picture of that next week (deathblow live stream incoming?). Either way, the camping issue will be a problem. Camping has been a problem in MMO's since forever, but usually that doesn't carry such a heavy cost. Normally it just takes its toll on your patience and some trivial repair cost. In Crowfall, however, dying hurts a lot. It un-does hard work, de-progresses your character, and strengthens your enemies. It is just too much. Maybe you could be immune to durability loss for a few minutes after resurrecting or something (I know you could abuse that too).
We certainly disagree on it being even possible, which is fine. You seem to have insight in to how the Developers view EK's (I do not), so perhaps you are right. In any case, it is not something I am worried about. It is not something I think will happen. It is hypothetical. I brought it up because, for me, it was the only big reason having no durability loss in EK's would be a problem. If that situation never exists, then it is a non issue. I was never arguing about how feasible, likely, or practical it was.
Kirchhoff reacted to a post in a topic: Group Harvesting, Mother Lodes, and Foreman (Discussion)
Given the current state of the game and specifically the implementation of EK's, we don't know. Ultimately, however, people will fight in competitive PvP for bragging rights and being on the top of a leader board. At the start of this thread I compared the potential EK's have with Minecraft servers and the creativity that led to DotA. Use your imagination. People could be fighting over any number of things if EK's even get close to the examples I cited (although best case scenario puts that years out). Again, this goes back to the word could. If there is no leader board, if there is no EK PvP community, if there is no EK customization/MOD's, if there is nothing to fight over, then of course no one will do it. Are you asking me to justify, beyond the shadow of a doubt, with specific details and cited sources, based on the current implementation of the game, why there would be "EK only players"? That is not the point and that discussion is useless. It is simple, if "EK only PvP" becomes a widespread thing, then no durability loss will break the game. Plain and simple. You can argue all you want about whether or not that situation will ever come about, but it does not change my statement. I think the horse is dead.

Gruveo lets you easily create call links and assign them to your account users.
Call Links vs. Handles
A call link is a unique link, e.g. gruveo.com/@mybusiness, which your customers can click to call your business without creating an account or installing new apps.
A handle is the text that comes after gruveo.com/ in a call link, for example @mybusiness. Allocating a call link is equivalent to allocating the corresponding Gruveo handle.
How to Add a New Handle to Your Account
Here are the step-by-step instructions for allocating handles within your Gruveo account.
- Log in to your account on the Gruveo website.
- Go to the Settings section of your Gruveo account.
- Click Handles in the left menu.
- You are now on the Handles page where you can manage your account's handles.
- To add a new handle, enter the new handle name and click "Add handle".
- Once the handle is added, it will appear on the list of handles that you can assign to your account's users:
Can I Assign the Same Link/Handle to Multiple Users?
Absolutely. There is no limit to link/handle assignment on Gruveo, which means that the same link can be shared between multiple users in your account. When a customer calls a link that's assigned to multiple users, all of them get a ring, and the first user to answer gets on the call with the customer.
Can I Assign Multiple Handles to One User?
Yes. When a user is assigned multiple Gruveo links, they get a ring whenever any of those links is called. For example, Patty Jones from Acme Corp's sales team may be assigned the @acme.sales handle for sales calls, as well as @acme.pattyjones for when she needs to be reached personally.

This post follows up on the fifth installment in my Let's do Postfix series. We're not really done setting up Postfix but a) it's about time we had a better way of accessing incoming mail than ssh'ing into our server and using
cat to read and b) we are at a juncture where the two will soon start depending on (SASL) and interacting with (LMTP) each other
This tutorial presumes knowledge of Postfix and the setup we're aiming for is one that complements the Postfix one that we've set up in previous installments. As with the Postfix series I want to arrive at a working setup from the very first post but knowing full well that it's not an ideal or final setup. The advantage (over importing somebody else's full featured setup) is that we'll actually understand what we have on our hands (and it's shortcomings). This makes it a lot easier to build and improve upon it and fix it should the need arises.
A note on safety: The setup we'll end up with today is not going to be confidential in any way, shape, or form. It will expose both the contents of the account's emails and whatever password you choose to the entire internet. Therefore you should obviously use either a test account or a brand new one that has nothing important on it yet. As for passwords you should pick one for testing that you have not used nor intend to use for any non-testing purposes. That said, un-confidential is not the same as unsafe. Any public facing service is a potential attack vector but this setup is – to the best of my knowledge – no more of one than a more properly confidential setup.

Letterpress Printing
'With 26 Soldiers of Lead I will conquer the world' - Benjamin Franklin
Published in 1977, and distributed to members of the British Printing Society, this booklet was aimed at letterpress printers using small presses such as Adana and treadle machines. Much may still be of use, but obviously allowance must be made for the changes in the industry since publication. Issue 2 was written and partly printed, but never completed (I forget why) but as it happens mostly dealt with issues like legal requirements that make its content now obsolete, so not worth reproducing. The pages are reproduced from scans.
Topics included below are:

On October 10, 2018 President Trump signed two bills that ban "gag clauses" in pharmacy contracts. Congress passed the two bills—one for Medicare prescription drug plans ("Know the Lowest Price Act") that will go into effect in January 2020, and another for commercial employer-based and individual policies ("Patient Right to Know Drug Prices Act") effective

Karen Owen Gibbs joined McDermott in 2014 after serving as Vice President and Senior Counsel at CVS Health (formerly CVS Caremark), a Fortune 20 integrated pharmacy company. Karen advises a wide variety of health care companies, investors and lenders on operational, regulatory and enforcement issues related to all aspects of the pharmacy distribution chain. Her practice also covers synergistic areas such as substance abuse/behavioral health, physician and veterinarian office dispensing, evolving requirements related to opioid prescribing and dispensing, and a wide variety of prescription reimbursement issues. Read Karen Owen Gibbs' full profile.
Q&A: Shifting Trends in Specialty Pharmacy to Continue in 2018
Specialty pharmacy is not going away any time soon – by 2020, it's expected that the pharmacy industry's revenue will exceed $483 billion, with almost all growth as a result of specialty drugs (high-cost medications used to treat chronic conditions, such as cancer). It's also estimated that the next generation of pharmaceutical "blockbusters" will be primarily specialty products. As the make-up of the pharmaceutical market shifts, we're also seeing changes with the role of pharmacy benefit managers and other medical groups in the process. How are these shifts in specialty pharmacy impacting the health care system as a whole?
We asked Karen Gibbs, McDermott partner and former VP and Senior Counsel at CVS, to share her expertise on the subject and her thoughts on what's to come.
Q. Investments in niche sectors of pharmacy services, specialty pharmacy and pharmacy benefit management have gained huge traction recently. What's driving the shift away from more traditional pharmacies?
A. Traditional pharmacies are retail establishments and have been suffering from the same earnings pressure that all retail establishments have endured. Pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs) typically own mail and specialty pharmacy operations, which generate revenue in a manner complementary to that derived from the pharmacy benefit management services. The margin on specialty pharmacy and PBM services is significantly more than retail pharmacy.…

"Jimmy's got some new moves. Watch Jimmy break up the double play. Ooooooh!! Jimmy's down! Jimmy might have a compound fracture. Jimmy's going into shock."
Ain't it pretty?
Well, that's a picture of my left foot. I injured it rather severely last night during the softball game. I was sliding into second base trying to break up a double play (which I accomplished...lol) and just jammed my foot right into the base. I knew it was bad when it happened. I rolled over and sat there a couple of seconds, but not wanting to cause a scene, I limped back to the dugout. That was only the first out of the inning so I decided to go outside the fence and try to walk it off, fully intending to go back out to left field in the bottom of the inning. It wasn't getting any better and when I reached down and pulled my sock away to look at it, well, it was quite gross. It was really bad swollen, worse than I have ever seen. It was like the size of a canteloupe. So I went back to the dugout and took off my shoe. Dwayne saw my ankle and was like, "Oh man, we gotta get you some ice." So I put some ice on it, but everyone was insisting that I go to the hospital. I finally relented. I figured my ankle really shouldn't be bigger than my knee, right? Luckily, Mom had come to watch the game so she and Rob's wife helped me to the car. They were thinking it was broken for sure so they didn't want me putting any pressure on it. The funny thing is, they are both like 5 feet tall, but that was sweet of them to help.
Anyway, we got to the emergency room and the ER nurse said it looked like it was broken to her. They took some X-rays and put a splint on it, put me on crutches, gave me a prescription for some Lortabs (!!!!) and sent me on my way. I have an appointment to see an orthopedic surgeon in the morning at 8:15. I spent the night with Mom last night, with no internet access. Obviously that has been the worst part of all. I went into work today for about an hour and a half, but will probably take the next couple of days off anyway. I cannot drive my truck because it's a stick shift, and I can't press the clutch with my left foot, so that is a big inconvenience. I really wanted a picture of it before they wrapped it, because it was really cool and gross. lol But alas, no one had their camera.
I just hated to leave the team, you know. I mean, we had 11 guys there, but I hated not to finish the game, and even worse, the season. I'm hoping it can heal and I can come back and play before the end of the season. We were winning 5-3 when I left, but I found out we ended up losing 14-7 :-( I was having one of my better games, too. Oh, I passed Jack Cook on my way out to the car, and he was like, "I think it's about time for us to retire." lol You just don't know how bad I hate to miss games. Oh well.
I just wanted to post a quick entry here to let everyone know what was going on. I am sure if I did not blog for more than a day or so, someone would get worried. I'm not sure what that says about my life, but.... Thanks to Mom, my sister, and Jessica for a bunch of help. Since I'm pretty much laid up now for awhile, it sure is nice to be taken care of. I think a guy could get used to this ;-) Hopefully, my next entry will be funnier. I think I hear a Lortab calling my name...
"Hey, don't write yourself off yet. It's only in your head, you feel left out, or
looked down on. Just try your best. Try everything you can..."

Point of Sale Or Point of Pain?
Every point of sale has the potential to be a point of pain because all it takes is a few things happening to turn a positive experience into a negative one. Many times that negative experience stems from a software problem. The Point of Sale software you use has a direct effect on the way data is handled so that's a good place to start looking for ways to remove pain points from the transaction. In order to do this, it is helpful to be able to evaluate that transaction from three viewpoints: those of your customer, your employee, and your store manager.
The Customer's Viewpoint
Customers want to find what they are looking for and buy it. Many times, a customer will have a gift card or certificate that needs to be processed. Other times they may be trying to find something on a registry for a wedding or baby shower. Occasionally, the customer has a need to make a layaway or a special order. Sometimes they want to return an item.
How easily can your POS software handle all that? If the customer has to go several places in your store to do everything on their list, is it easy to figure out? Better yet, can they just do it in one place? Every snag in a smooth shopping trip is a point of pain for many customers.
The Employee's Viewpoint
Everything that your customer needs to do, an employee needs to know how to make it happen. When employees are not fully trained, they are not confident about using the equipment you provide. Even if you have a great POS software like ChainDrive on a mobile device, an employee who doesn't understand how it works is not going to use it.
The Store Manager's Viewpoint
The manager has to look at the individual POS in the context of everything that is happening in their store. Shipments, sales targets, scheduling, training, security, KPIs, and inventory are only a few of the details that must be integrated and optimized. When data isn't easy to filter and analyze, it's painful for the person who has to figure out how to use that data for profitable operations.
ChainDrive has designed the POS software to be a modern, feature-rich, intuitive retail solution for the things that cause pain at the point of sale. It's part of an integrated retail management software platform that has changed the way we all look at retail.

Islam in Somalia
Nearly all Somalis are Sunni Muslims. For more than 1400 years, Islam made a great part of Somali society. Practicing Islam reinforces distinctions that further set Somalis apart from their immediate African neighbors, many of whom are either Christians or adherents of indigenous faiths. The early Muslims sought refugee in the coastal cities of modern day Somalia, due the persuection of the pagan Arab Quraysh tribe.

Today I am interviewing Julie E. Czerneda, author of the new science-fiction novel, Search Image.
◊ ◊ ◊
DJ: Hi Julie! Thanks for agreeing to do this interview!
For readers who aren't familiar with you, could you tell us a little about yourself?
Julie: My pleasure. I'm a Canadian SF/F author, published by DAW Books. I've been doing this for a living since 1997, and love it. I've edited anthologies and worked in non-fiction as well. My background is biology, which tends to show up in my work and daily life.
DJ: What is Search Image about?
Julie: Esen's back and she, with her Human friend Paul, have opened their All Species Library of Linguistics and Culture for business. In short order, an interesting dilemma ensues. Well, more than one, all involving alien biology. Esen's books are episodic, in that each is a complete story with a biology conundrum at heart, but there are threads from one to another.
DJ: What were some of your influences for Search Image?
Julie: Everything that lives. Really. Plus physics. A primary curiosity I have is about communication and how we—meaning anything alive—manages it, and why. Most of Esen's predicaments, and solutions, come about through failure to understand one another. Incompatible plumbing. Often literally. There could be slime.
DJ: Could you briefly tell us a little about your main characters? Do they have any cool quirks or habits, or any reason why readers with sympathize with them? What makes them compelling?
Julie: Friendship. Esen and Paul are friends. This is something unheard of for her kind, a Web-being, and she continues to learn what that means in a relationship. Paul understands that about her. Despite the occasional moments of exasperation, he also knows Esen means well. Plus, Esen is a shapeshifter. Whatever form she assumes, is still her, which produces its own potential for hilarity. There's a great deal that's fun and warm in these books. Oh, and she explodes every so often.
DJ: What is the world and setting of Search Image like?
Julie: I'm not laughing at the question, I promise, but readers familiar with Esen's earlier books, such as Beholder's Eye might be grinning. There are dozens and dozens of worlds, with multiple settings, each with its alien intelligent species, its culture, bits of ecosystem, technology, social structure. Even among my Human groups, there's a wide variation. I've crystalline Tumblers whose excretions are considered gems by every other species. I've Ganthor, who are a matriarchy and professional mercenaries. Unless co-opted for performance art. Which may have been Esen's doing, come to think of it.
DJ: What was your favorite part about writing Search Image?
Julie: Being allowed to babble biology again. Esen lets me show so much of our world—you just don't notice it at the time.
DJ: What do you think readers will be talking about most once they finish it?
Julie: Evan Gooseberry. He's a new character Esen meets in my enovella "The Only Thing to Fear" from DAW Books. An earnest young diplomat who fights a plethora of phobias in order to work with aliens and do good in the universe. I think we can all relate to his struggles and goals.
DJ: Did you have a particular goal when you began writing Search Image? Was there a particular message or meaning you are hoping to get across when readers finish it? Or is there perhaps a certain theme to the story?
Julie: Friendship, as always in Esen's books. The notion that most problems between thinking beings start with ignorance of one another. The belief those can be resolved if only someone's able to bridge the gap. Also, that science fiction should be full of wonder.
DJ: When I read, I love to collect quotes – whether it be because they're funny, foodie, or have a personal meaning to me. Do you have any favorite quotes from Search Image that you can share with us?
Julie: Goodness. Hmm. How's this? "Look before you leap and drag everyone with you." It's a bit of advice Esen tries to remember.
DJ: Now that Search Image is released, what is next for you?
Julie: I'm working on a new standalone fantasy for a change, The Gossamer Mage. It comes out next August and I'm very excited about that. Then I'll be back with Esen for two more books about her library: Mirage and Spectrum.
DJ: Where can readers find out more about you?

DJ: Before we go, what is that one thing you'd like readers to know about Search Image that we haven't talked about yet?
Julie: I've put a list of alien species in the back, annotated by the Dear Little Blob herself. It's fun.
DJ: Thank you so much for taking time out of your day to answer my questions!
Julie: Thank you. I love talking about Esen and her new book.

About the Book:
The first book in the Web Shifter's Library series returns to the adventures of Esen, a shapeshifting alien and member of an ancient yet endangered race, who must navigate the perils of a hostile universe.
Esen's back! And the dear little blob is in trouble again.
Things began so well. She and her Human friend Paul Ragem have opened the doors to their greatest accomplishment, the All Species' Library of Linguistics and Culture. They're prepared for clients to arrive, but trouble comes knocking instead.
First is Paul's family, who'd mourned his supposed death years ago. Understandably, feelings are bent. But what matters? Paul's father has gone missing.
Before he can convince Esen to help him search, a friend shows up to use the Library. A crisis in the Dokeci System is about to explode into violence. To have a hope of stopping it, Evan Gooseberry needs answers.
Unfortunately, the artifact he brought in trade holds its own distracting secret. A touch of very familiar blue. Lesy's "signature," left on all her creations. Web-flesh.
The race is on. Paul, to find his father. Esen, to search for the rest of her Web-sister while helping Evan stop a war. What none of them realize is the price of success will be the most terrible choice of all.
About the Author:
For twenty years, Canadian author/ former biologist Julie E. Czerneda has shared her curiosity about living things through her science fiction, published by DAW Books, NY.
Julie's also written fantasy, the first installments of her Night's Edge series (DAW) A Turn of Light and A Play of Shadow, winning consecutive Aurora Awards (Canada's Hugo) for Best English Novel. Julie's edited/co-edited sixteen anthologies of SF/F, two Aurora winners. Her latest is SFWA's 2017 Nebula Award Showcase, and her next will be an anthology set in her Clan Chronicles series: Tales from Plexis. Her new SF novel, finale to that series, To Guard Against the Dark, was just released.

Last week, the countdown for Doctor Strange got below the one year mark and with that, production began on the mystical adventure. We got our first look at the set last Wednesday, which was followed up by more photos and a short video from set as well.
Now, even more photos and videos from the set in Nepal have emerged featuring Benedict Cumberbatch as Doctor Strange and Chiwetel Ejiofor as Baron Mordo. There is nothing too revealing in any of the photos or videos, but they're still cool to look at nonetheless.

It's unclear how long Doctor Strange will film outside of Pinewood Studios in London, but once they move there, we will no longer get set photos, so enjoy them while you can!
Doctor Strange is scheduled to hit theaters November 4, 2016.

Top Time: Meet the Author: Michelle Hockley
- Lavenham Library
- Tue 18 Feb, 2020
- 1430 – 1600
- Tickets: £2
Join us at our regular Top Time session for a talk from author Michelle Hockley.
Set in the seventeenth century against a backdrop of civil and domestic unrest, Michelle Hockley's novel Before Spring Came Summer is based on true events, telling the story of the extraordinary life of Jane Whorwood (1612-1684), a close companion of Charles I and the Royal Court.
Michelle first encountered Jane in the British Library when she was invited by Hampton Court Palace to investigate why Charles I escaped the Army in 1647 and to identify the route taken. She later became a senior early modern record specialist at The National Archives, and amongst a plethora of government documents, Jane appeared again, leading Michelle to realise that Jane's life was undoubtedly interesting over and beyond her bravery and loyalty towards her king.
Michelle will be wearing authentic seventeenth century costume and signing copies of her books.

This is a review from my blog: http://www.donnasthoughtsonbooks.wordpress.com
OMG. I fell in love with another one of Melissa's Hero's.
Janie is very independent. Even though she is almost completely blind. She does not let anything get her down or get in her way. She left home to get away from her over-protective parents.
Boyd is an all around great guy who puts on this front that he is something that he's not. He makes out like he is a playboy so nothing or no one will get in his way of his goals, going to medical school. That is how he has been able to protect himself from getting hurt or from hurting someone else.
Boyd had been flirting with Janie for a few months at her work to keep his feelings that he was starting to feel for her at bay. He figured she would not be interested in a playboy so he kept that up until one Friday night when she had an accident. That is when everything changed.
She hated being hurt because she didn't like relying on anyone. But, that is what has happened. She didn't give in too easily but in the end she allowed Boyd to help her. Her best friend was out-of-town and she didn't want to have to call her parents. They would be on her to moved back home with them.
The more time they spent together the closer they become. Boyd was done fighting his feelings for her and was ready to let them take him where ever they need. The only thing standing in his way was medical school, and the nightmares of his past. He knew he needed to tell her about them but he just couldn't find the courage, even though she has shown him over and over that she is willing to fight her fears but he just can't seem to man up and do that.
Later on something happened. I am not going to tell you what it is because I want you to read for yourself, but I will tell you it is worth the read. Even when my heart hurts for a little bit in the book. Here are some questions to ask that you will find the answers too.
Does Boyd and Janie work out?
Does he confront his past?
Does he get into medical school?
If he does make it in to a school does he accept the offer?
Janie is up for a promotion does she get it and if so does she take it?
These are things that happen and you will be able to find the answers too. I really hope you enjoy the book.
Here is a link to the book incase you have not read it yet.
Thank you for reading my blog and I really would love to hear from you.
Until Next Time: Happy Reading.

Wavecom S.A., today announced its intention to activate the share repurchase program under the authorization granted to the board of directors at its annual shareholders' meeting held on May 16, 2007.
Wavecom's Document de Référence 2006 (Wavecom's Annual Report in French) that was filed with the AMF - Autorité des Marchés Financiers (French Stock Market Authority) on April 11, 2007 contains the information required for the program description and therefore article 241-3 of the General Rules of the AMF applies. A synthesis of this description also appears in Item 10 of the Wavecom SEC 20-F filing registered on April 11, 2007.
Wavecom's board of directors met on July 26, 2007 to sub-delegate to the Company's Chief Executive Officer to activate the share repurchase program.
The terms of the share repurchase program as authorized at the Annual Shareholders' meeting are:
Pursuant to the provisions of articles L 225-209 et seq. of the French Code of Commerce,
The board of directors is authorized to repurchase a number of shares representing up to 10% of the Company's capital, namely a maximum of 1,555,415 shares at a purchase price per share not to exceed 30 euros, excluding expenses and fees.
The maximum number of Company shares of which repurchase is authorized as well as the purchase price of the said shares shall be adjusted, if necessary, in order to take account of any division or of any regrouping of the Company shares that might occur during the period of validity of the present authorization.
The present authorization may be used, inter alia, for the purpose
1. of making shares available to an investment services provider in order to stimulate market trading or the liquidity of the shares under a liquidity contract conforming to the ethical charter recognized by the AMF (French Financial Markets Authority);
2. of holding shares enabling it to honor the obligations connected with debt instruments convertible into shares;
3. holding shares that could be delivered to its senior managers and employees as well as to the senior managers and employees of the companies affiliated with it, within the framework of stock option plans, of projects for free allocation of existing shares under the conditions laid down in articles L. 225-197-1 to L. 225-197-3;
4. of keeping the shares so as to deliver them in payment or in exchange in connection with external growth projects;
5. or of cancelling the shares.
The number of shares acquired by the Company with a view to keeping them and to their later delivery in payment or in exchange in case of a merger, de-merger, or conveyance transaction, may not exceed 5% of its capital,
The shares may also be cancelled within a limit of 10% of the company's capital for each twenty-four month period, under the conditions laid down in the eleventh resolution [i.e. authorizing the reduction of the share capital by cancelling shares that the Company might hold under the share repurchase program].
The acquisition, assignment, transfer or exchange of the said shares may be carried out, in observance of the rules issued by the AMF (French Financial Markets Authority), on or off the market, at any time, including during a period of public offering concerning the Company's shares, and by any means, including transfer of blocks, use or exercise of any financial instruments or derivative products, particularly by way of implementation of option transactions such as purchases and sales of buy or sell options.
The authorization further grants full powers to the board of directors, with an option for sub delegation to the CEO or, with the latter's approval, to one or several deputy CEOs, for implementing the present authorization, putting in any market orders, concluding any agreements, carrying out possible reallocations of the shares for the purposes mentioned above, under the conditions allowed by law, carrying out any formalities, steps and declarations vis-à-vis any entities as necessary.
The authorization was granted for a period of eighteen months starting at the date of the Annual Shareholders meeting, May 16, 2007.

Assuming that what you had plugged into it does not exceed the rating of the outlet (commonly 15 amps), probably has a cracked or loose internal connection on the prongs so they are heating up due to the increased resistance - which is a fire hazard and also would mean your device is getting less voltage than it should.
Get the outlet replaced - about $5 for standard outlet or $15-30 for GFCI type if needed/appropriate, plus minimum visit charge by electrician (commonly $75-150) or if you trust one, Handyman (commonly about $50-75 minimum charge).

What do over 150 of Malaysia's most iconic and influential personalities have in common? They have all taken a personal pledge to stop eating shark fin soup by saying "I'm FINished with Fins".

What do over 150 of Malaysia's most iconic and influential personalities have in common? They have all taken a personal pledge to stop eating shark fin soup by saying "I'm FINished with Fins".
Source: Shark Savers Malaysia
About "I'm FINished with FINS"
"I'm FINished with Fins" campaign is the largest worldwide campaign ever organized for shark conservation. Over 100 of Malaysia's taste makers and opinion leaders have taken the pledge, joining over 150 celebrities from Malaysia, Singapore, Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan, where the campaign has also been launched and widely supported. The Malaysia campaign is now the largest of the series, and it is perhaps also the largest campaign ever organized for one animal concern. By saying "I'm FINished" with shark fin soup, individuals can reverse the shark fin consumption trend, not just in Malaysia, but in Asia and the rest of the world. Together we can prevent the catastrophic collapse of shark populations worldwide, protect the health of our oceans, and ensure a brighter future for mankind. Read more about "I'm FINished with Fins" campaign: http://www.sharksavers.org.my/about/
Why Sharks?
Sharks play a key role in our ocean's food chains. As apex predators, sharks help keep the world's marine ecosystems balanced. If shark populations are depleted, a critical link in the maintenance of global marine ecosystems will be disrupted, directly affecting the viability of commercial fisheries around the world. The most popular types of seafood we consume on a regular basis will be affected detrimentally, resulting in lower abundance, poorer quality and more expensive seafood. Yet sharks are being depleted worldwide, just to feed the unsustainable demand for shark fin soup. The exponential growth in consumption of shark fin soup is responsible for alarming shark population declines. Singapore plays a vital role in both trade and consumption, and we have the responsibility and opportunity, to make a real difference for sharks globally.
Why Malaysia?
Shark Savers, WWF, Earth Hour, WildAid, and National Geographic Channel / NatGeo WILD are thrilled to band together to jointly launch the "I'm FINished with Fins" campaign here, because Malaysia ranked the eighth largest catchment country in the world and also the fourth largest importer for shark fins. Our mission is to empower Malaysians, to educate and inform their circles of influence about the plight of sharks; that the unsustainable consumption of shark fin soup is responsible for the intense overfishing of sharks worldwide, destroying a critical link in the maintenance of healthy commercial fisheries and global marine ecosystems. We hope that you will take the pledge, be a campaign ambassador, and help us get 100,000 Malaysians to also publicly declare "I'm FINished with Fins". The world is watching us, Malaysia!

For more than 150 years, plastic has proven a resilient resource for humankind and air has been around virtually forever. Combining plastic and air together as one, OtterBox® uses an advanced snap-mold manufacturing process to introduce the latest protection for mobile technology, the Oh Snap! Series.
"By wrapping tech devices with cushions of air, or bubbles if you will, the Oh Snap! Series protects from damaging shocks and bumps," said OtterBox founder and CEO Curt Richardson. "When you say 'Oh snap, I dropped my phone' the case says 'snap' right back."
The Oh Snap! Series of cases features an envelope of pliable, snap-ovative plastic material with pockets of air in between. The pockets provide a cushion and emit a "snap" sound in the event that serious pressure is applied. Installation is a breeze – simply slip the device in the Oh Snap! sheet and secure the edges with the transparent adhesive strip. Buttons and touchscreens may or may not be accessible through the case and sound will be slightly muffled. Oh Snap! cases are not recommended for children under five-years-old due to the potential choking hazard, and loud snapping sound may frighten young children.
The Oh Snap! Series is available today for any and every smartphone, tablet and e-Reader device on the market and recommended by nine out of 10 Doctors of Snap-ology. Cases offered in transparent, green and pink. The Oh Snap! Series will only protect devices for a limited number of impacts. Note the case should be disposed of after most of the air pockets have deflated. Coming soon, the OtterBox Oh Snap! Premiere Series.

A new study from the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) found that healthcare workers who routinely come in contact with hazardous chemicals on the job lack training and awareness to protect themselves from exposure.
The study describes current practices used by healthcare workers to minimize chemical exposures as well as barriers to using recommended personal protective equipment.
Over 12,000 healthcare workers participated.
The chemical agents under study included, but were not limited to, antineoplastic agents, anesthetic gases, surgical smoke and chemical sterilants.
We've blogged about these hazards.
Antineoplastic chemicals:
Veterinary Oncology: Associated Risks & Veterinary Worker Respiratory Safety
Powder Containment Hoods for Capsule Filling & Pharmaceutical Compounding
Chemical Case Study: Control of Diethyl Ether Vapors
Surgical smoke:
Laser Plume Capture for the Veterinary Practice
Chemical sterilants:
Custom Fume Hood Solution for Cidex and Other Glutaraldehyde Products
The findings from this survey are expected to help NIOSH, partners, and healthcare providers better understand current health and safety practices relative to working with hazardous chemical agents.

The social media beef between Drake and Meek Mill, already has fans sipping their tea. But it looks like Meek is stirring up trouble in the city of Detroit.
The Philly rapper is now being accused of plagiarizing a track from Detroit's very own, Lil George.
Oh no! This can't be true, right?
Back in October, 17 year old Lil George dropped his single-"I Got the Sauce." The local artist, recieved a lot of respect and attention from his hometown.
Meanwhile, Meek Mill's newest project – Dreams Worth More than Money – is now rising on the billboard charts. However, one particular track – "I Got the Jucie"- sounds extremely familiar.
According to TMZ, Lil George does believe Meek was inspired by "I Got the Sauce " to create the hook on "I Got the Juice." Get this, Lil George isn't seeking a check, he simply wants to be acknowledged. Seeing how Meek Mill is claiming to have never heard of Lil George or "I Got the Sauce" he just might not get the credit he is looking for.
Tell us what you think? Did Meek get "inspired" By Lil George or is it just a very ironic situation?
