For my Adventurous April I ate shrimp pho. I know that doesn't sound very "adventurous" but the fact that I completely despise seafood made it a pretty crazy endeavor for me. I don't know why I hate seafood so much, I use to like tuna as a kid but it disgusts me now. I don't even think it's because of the taste. For some reason I just have a subconscious hatred of seafood. Eating the shrimp pho did not change that. It was disgusting and I still hate seafood.
This is me when the shrimp pho arrived at the table. (As you can see, my boyfriend doesn't have the best camera skills since he cut off most of my forehead.)
This is my favorite part of pho – all of the herbs and bean sprouts! They usually serve the pho with basil leaves, parsley, jalapeños, limes, and bean sprouts. Adding it all in really gives pho its unique taste, however it did not cover up the taste of shrimp unfortunately.
Basically what happened was I took one bite of shrimp, found it disgusting, then gave my bowl to my boyfriend. But hey, at least I tried it.
For those of you who haven't tried Vietnamese food before, I highly recommend going to Miss Saigon on Campbell. Pho is one of those rare dishes that's low calorie but still full of flavor!

When distributing fresh food , it needs cold chain transportation and distribution, otherwise it will affect the quality of food.
However, in the process of distribution, the delivery box is often lost, or the warehouse cannot monitor the delivery box in the whole process, which affects the turnover of the delivery box in the upstream warehouse, resulting in waste of resources.
In order to strengthen the intelligent supervision of the delivery box, it is necessary to carry out the positioning tracking and the unpacking reminder of the delivery box through technical means.
At the same time, it is necessary to monitor the temperature inside the box in real time through technical means, so as to notify the distributor and the customer in time when the temperature changes.

If left untreated, too much moisture indoors can lead to a host of issues, the least of which is the growth of mold and mildew. Dehumidifiers work by removing excess moisture in the air. Here are some tips for getting the most energy savings and efficiency out of your dehumidifier.
Humidifiers fall into three categories: residential, commercial, and industrial. Unless you're working with a very large area or extremely moisture-laden air, most homeowners can get by fine with residential-grade models.
Dehumidifiers vary greatly in size and price. Capacity is measured by the number of pints of water the unit can remove in 24 hours. The size you will need depends on two things: the size of the area to be conditioned and the amount of moisture present in the air. Common residential sizes include 25, 30, and 40-pint models. The Association of Home Appliances recommends a 25-pint model for most areas up to 1000 square feet and a 40-pint model for areas up to 1500 square feet.
To see long-term savings, it's always best to buy the unit that best fits the size of your space. As a general rule of thumb, it's always better to go with a unit slighter larger than you think you need. For example, if you're choosing between two models, one rated for 1000 sq feet and the other for 1200 sq feet, and your space is only 900 sq feet, choose the model with the larger capacity. A larger unit won't have to work as hard to dehumidify the same space as a smaller unit. In addition, a smaller unit will run longer, leading to higher energy costs and greater wear and tear.
One way to assess humidity levels is with an inexpensive humidity gauge. These are available at most hardware stores and big box home centers. A less accurate way is simply to try to "feel" how much moisture is in the air.
Moderately damp: The space feels damp and smells musty only in warm, humid weather.
Very damp: The space always feels damp and smells musty; walls and floor show damp spots.
Wet: The space smells and feels wet. Seepage occurs, mold and mildew are visible.
In the summer, outdoor humidity levels can reach 60 to 80 percent. Indoor relative humidity levels of 40 to 50 percent are generally recommended.
One way to save a little money when using a dehumidifier is to use the full tank of water you have collected to water your plants. Works great and you have to empty it somewhere--why not in a pail to use for a good purpose.
Great idea on reusing the water. Also remember to clean out the water collection area with a little bleach now and then.

Full copywriting and SEO writing service
• Flyers • Leaflets • Brochures • Website Content • Tour itineraries •
Do you need website content or articles to be written using SEO (search engine optimization techniques)? Because of my technical background in IT and web design, I am in the perfect position to help optimize your website for SEO content writing. Using my writing skills I can provide text using keywords either you provide, or I will find using keyword searches, and maximise the use of those keywords, but using a natural, flowing prose. This is the best form of SEO keywording, as the old method of keyword stuffing (where the keywords are randomly placed and make no sense) is unethical, drives visitors away from your site, and also causes search engines to eventually ban your site.
Content should also be relevant to your site, and deliver on the keywords they are optimized for. The best way to drive traffic to your site indirectly is have a blog with useful articles and information for visitors that relate to your product or service.
For an example of my work, written for Liberty Adriatic DMC, click here…
I also offer general content writing services, such as:
If you are interested and would like to know more then please feel free to contact me:
Sometimes you are too close to what you write. When you read back through to check for mistakes, it's easy to miss them because you are actually subconsciously reading it in your head because you already know it by heart. After all, you wrote it. So it's often a good idea to have it proof read by someone else.
Even well translated work can benefit from proof reading by a native speaker/writer. Your translation company may be doing an excellent job, but does the text read well? Is it too literally translated? Are there minor typos or grammatical errors? Or would you just like the whole thing to be written by a professional native English writer?
I offer a full proof reading service for all kinds of text. For more information and prices please click here…..
If you have used my writing or proof reading service then I would be very grateful if you would write a short testimonial.

He is a man who goes by many names.
Mr William Ho, 50, is best known as Uncle William, Kranji Farms' only official tour guide. You can also call the affable father of two the Quail Manor Uncle Quail.
Mr Ho runs the Lian Wah Hang Quail & Poultry Farm in Lim Chu Kang, a quail egg business. It was started in 1954 as a chicken farm by his father,Mr HoSeng Choon, 92.
The younger Mr Ho started hosting tours and learning journeys in Kranji in 1997, thanks to former Member of Parliament Seet Ai Mee.
Dr Seet is the director of 24-year-old Discovery Vacation Camps, a company that organises science programmes for children.
She convinced Mr Ho's father to open his farm for a tour and roped in Mr Ho to lead them. The farm stopped hosting visitors in 2004 after a new regulation was put in place during the avian flu epidemic.
While it is most convenient to drive or cycle around Kranji Farms, you can also opt for the Kranji Countryside Express shuttle bus, which runs daily, including on public holiday.
The service runs from Kranji MRT station to selected farms in the Lim Chu Kang area. It costs $3 for a round trip and you can hop on and off the bus within the same day.
It runs on a fixed schedule but at irregular intervals so plan ahead to cut waiting times. For the bus schedule, go to kranjicountryside.com.
From Choa Chu Kang MRT station, there are also buses by fish farm Qian Hu Corporation and Farmart Centre, which offers dining options, fresh produce for sale and farm animals that you can feed or observe up close.
Go to www.qianhufish.com and farmart.com.sg for details.
This led Mr Ho to set up a small company in 2004 that hosts educational tours in Kranji. Based in Farmart Centre in Sungei Tengah Road, it also sells produce such as quail eggs from his father's farm.
In 2014, he launched another company, called Uncle William, which specialises in Kranji farm tours. His wife,Ms Serene Quek, 47, helps him and is in charge of the accounts.
The couple have two children, aged 16 and 13.
Mr Ho, who obtained a nature guide licence from the Singapore Tourism Board in the early 2000s, caters mainly to schools and corporate clients.
He enjoys leading tours for children the most. "Children who grow up in the city are getting a bit weird. When they draw chickens, they are headless and featherless," he says with a laugh.
"The farms are a good place for little ones to relate to nature."
His four-hour Uncle William's Farm trail tour stops at Hay Dairies, a fish farm and a vegetable farm and ends at Farmart Centre, which comprises F&B outlets, a retail area and an animal farm.
Tours run from Tuesday to Sunday and cost $23 for adults and $20 for kids aged two to 12, excluding lunch and transport.
At the beginning, his tours drew small groups of five to six each, but demand for his services soon grew.
Now he gets four to five groups averaging 30 people each a week. The maximum number of participants he can take at one go is 300, which he manages by employing part-time staff.
Mr Ho says: "What keeps me going is not the money. It makes me happy, especially when the children I met 20 years ago grow up and bring their own children here."
• Tour bookings must be made one month in advance and for a minimum of 30 participants each. Go to farmart.com.sg or e-mail unclewilliam@uncle william.biz

Under The Radar: Dallas BaptistUnder The Radar
Dallas Baptist finally has its full arsenal ready to roll this season.
Look back at last season and you'd think the Patriots were in great shape the entire year. DBU ended the season in impressive fashion, reaching the Fayetteville Regional title game against national runner-up Arkansas. But a further dive into last season paints a clearer picture: Dan Heefner and his coaching staff did an incredible job.
Not only did the Patriots reach a regional title game, they did so while navigating a host of injuries throughout the season.
For starters, the Patriots didn't have Luke Eldred for times throughout the season, ultra-talented Ray Gaither was injured last season, Jordan Martinson struggled immensely with a 5.85 ERA in just six starts and hard-throwing MD Johnson had a 5.14 in 77 innings.
And that team found their way to a regional title game? Color us impressed.
Heefner knocks on wood when this is mentioned, but the Patriots entered this season healthy and ready to roll, and it showed over the weekend against Jeff Duncan's high-quality Kent State club.
In a series that was very much under the radar compared to the tournaments in Arizona and series elsewhere, it's one that could have ramifications for mid-majors such as the Patriots and Flashes down the road later this season. It was expected to be a hard-fought series that ultimately could go either way.
But instead, the Patriots controlled things from the start. Not only did Heefner's club sweep Kent State, they outscored the Flashes 19-5 over three games and did so with a bevy of quality pitching performances. In other words, the complete opposite of last season, where injuries and inconsistencies led to DBU having a 4.53 ERA by the end of the season.
"The thing I was most pleased about over the weekend was the pitching," Heefner said., "We're really new from a positional standpoint, but almost the entire pitching staff has returned. We have high expectations for those guys, and they performed over the weekend. All the starting pitchers were really good."

Free Slurpee Day at 7-Eleven Turns Violent as Customer Dumps Slurpee on Employees Head
Today is 7-Eleven's annual free slurpee day, a day that should be fun for our children but instead has turned into a lesson on treat others how you want to be treated. As my kids and I walked into 711 we noticed the line was huge and it was going to be a wait. The kids didn't mind, that is of course until we witnessed a disgruntled customer dump his free slurpee on top of the employees head who was pouring them for approximately 20-30 customers!
It all went so fast and I think I was in disbelief and shock. WHO does that. Who is that disrespectful and mean. As I watched who I think was either the manger or their security person grab the guy by his shirt and pull him to the front of the store I listened to what he had to say.
" Let me go, I'm leaving. She got slurpee on my face, I had to wait 30 minutes to get my slurpee. she wasn't being careful, she got it on my face" dang now I don't even get my free slurpee"
And I loved what the lady said to him. I don't condone violence but man he really deserved it.
" If you try to leave I will punch you in the face, I swear it. Do not move! "
I left before the police arrived. I feel like it took the police a long time to get there. I was in the store approximately 15 minutes after the incident and they still were not there. I watched the lady call the police so I know they were on their way, but I do not understand how it could possibly take that long when the station is literally around the corner from this particular 7-Eleven. I mean what exactly are we paying these guys for? Just sayin…
As this went down I have to admit I did think about taking the guys photo to post all over my blog and fan pages to teach this guy a lesson. I mean had I done that he surely wouldn't be walking around Vancouver, WA without consequences. I didn't but boy did I want to. My phone was burning a red hot hole in my purse as this went down. In the end I decided I wouldn't take that photo. For one thing could I be sued? And another, I had my kids with me so I was really trying to be cool as a cucumber when inside I really wanted to punch the guy in the face to.

wow! I can not believe that happened, all because somebody got something on his pretty lil' face. Wow!
Oh trust me, his face was not pretty. However, he also did not appear to be on drugs nor did he look like a drug addict. So he is probably just a mean person with no valid excuse.
Wow! I went with my kids to the one on 112th and its was busy but not more then a cpl minute wait. I liked it better when we got to fill our own not the employee who barely fills it half way up but free is free so I didn't dump it on anyone's head. Haha
Right! I couldn't believe my eyes. It may sound strange but I am so glad that my kids witnessed it. It planted the seed that you cannot get away with treating other people terribly and that there are consequences for your actions when you do.

Hello there. I work for Fox 12. Did you take more pictures of what happened that you could send us? Thanks!
Hi Jeff,
I am sorry but I did not take any additional photos during the incident. I thought about it but we were too close to the guy and my kids were with me. I did not want to do anything that could cause him to act out more than he already did. Naturally there were a lot of kids in the store at the time. I do have the photo pictured in my blog without a watermark if you'd like to use that one. You can use the contact button up top to email me.
Do you happen to know what the police were actually doing? Just because an office might be around the corner, does not mean officers are just sitting around waiting.
An entire STATION, not just one police officer. It shouldn't take over 15 minutes for an officer to arrive when they are 3 minutes from the store.

And I was just looking for new material for a Vancouvria episode. Thanks mean 7-11 slurpee guy!
I used to work there and it was the most likely the manager who openly expressed her hatred for customers and free slurpee day. I was appalled at how freely she spoke badly about customers.
Which Vancouver 711? Not that it matters, just curiosity.
112th ave by applebee's and the ymca, the owners are quite rude and very greedy, the one in the back spent the whole time iw as there complaining the free cups 7-11 corporate sent for the promotion where to big, saying that even filling them half way was giving people "over 3x what they should be giving out"
mind, Having friends who own convenient stores, when a promotion like this happens, the franchise stores are compensated (they get cups free and they get money and sometimes even supplies to cover it), so the only reason for this is the owners being greedy.
it would explain why i rarely see more then 1-2 cars in their parking lot(drive past alot on way to/from our office)

Stay classy, Vancouver!
I was at this store earlier in the day, I dont condone his actions but I can see how he could get frustrated.
when we went in, it was around lunch time, we stopped to BUY large slurpee's and get a free one, also planned to get some snacks(candy bars and such), the manager was guarding the rear machine like hawk, when i was there the line was not to huge but she was spending her time complaining about even having to give out 1/2 full ones and saying even that was 3x what they should have to give away free.
she argued with every person who wanted to BUY A DAMN SLURPEE, every last one, wouldnt let you buy one.
when we got to the front counter, the girl at front desk couldnt believe the owner at the back wouldnt let people buy slurpee's(as in any size but free), the other owner ran up and quite literally yelled at us for being "rude" to her employee(me, my mother and the 3 groups behind us) when we where not rude, we just stated the fact, and paid for our snacks….she told us to get out, then told all of us (the whole group lined up to buy stuff) to get the fuck out(said just that) all because we had the gall to complain that she wouldnt let us give them money for a full size slurpee.
4 people ahead of me stormed out very upset over it(they had tried to get her to sell them one for a good time she just refused to understand why they would want to buy a slurpee when she was giving out half full free smalls……(and bitching about having to do even that)
now, contrast this with the store next to the vancouver mall where we went( i still wanted a full size spurpee) they where YELLING to people to grab a free one, it was self serve, they where really happy to see everybody that was coming in, they had zero issue if you wanted a free one and to buy one.
they also gave me my full size free when they heard what happened at the 112th ave store(not my intention, but hey, free is free), I still bought some snacks and a hot case item, the funniest part, as we where headed out, one of the angery women from the other store was starting to check out, she said i wasnt kidding, and refused to take a full size free, but instead bought more stuff (hotdogs, chicken strips and 2 peices of pizza that i heard), she said she was so happy that the people at this store where being polite and helpful rather then rude and unhelpful that she wanted to thank them….
good customer service would stop the kind of situation that happened here 99/100 times, and I say this having worked food service and sales jobs…..
when you have people storming out very upset in droves, you need to question why…specially when other stores doing the same promotion have people leaving after buying stuff with big smiles.
Oh we also hit up the 7-11 by target on 164th(traffic was backed up we decided to turn in and get a drink), they had employees filling all cups, the employees where clearly tired BUT where polite and friendly, and they filled the cups all the way up, they also had no issue if you wantd a full size one!!!
and everybody was leaving with a smile or brain freeze face….
Im sorry to have to say this but, that store on 112th, is run by rude, greedy, idiots, and Karma caught up with one of them in the form of a slurpee hat……guess she was probably glad she was only giving 1/3-1/2 a cup of slurpee rather then full….less to get dumped on your head….

FARMINGDALE, NY (08-11-08): EtQ has introduced Web 2.0 features into the latest release of the EtQ Reliance Quality Management System (QMS).
Continually improved functionality and a user-friendly experience are key in today's dynamic business environment. Recognizing this need, EtQ has incorporated enhanced Web 2.0 features into the latest release of EtQ Reliance.
The goal of Web 2.0 is to enhance the user experience, improve productivity and in the case of EtQ, streamline quality operations. Some of the more dynamic features include the ability to search for information across all applications simultaneously. Results are displayed in a separate window, modeled after search engines such as Google and Yahoo. Also included in this release is the ability to look up keywords and external data using glossary-driven, "type-ahead" text. Users are able to type a few letters from the keyword directly in the EtQ field to find matching values without needing to open separate pop-up windows. Keyword fields can now be filled in using nothing but the keyboard, without using a mouse. This glossary-driven function dramatically increases the speed of data entry for EtQ Reliance users. In addition, EtQ has added other Web 2.0 features such as time-out dialogs for inactivity, enhanced calendar date picker and several other enhanced field elements within EtQ forms. Using these features, EtQ Reliance is able to provide increased productivity, while flattening the learning curve, and enabling rich content to be delivered to the user in real-time.
"EtQ recognizes that the future of Web-based applications lie in their ability to adapt to the user experience," says Morgan Palmer, Chief Technology Officer of EtQ. "EtQ's development of Web 2.0 features in Reliance will enable users to increase their productivity and ultimately provide a rich user experience in their Quality Management system." Palmer goes on to say that EtQ is continuing to roll out new features in EtQ Reliance and plans to implement more Web 2.0 features in future releases. "Web 2.0 is just another part of EtQ's ability to integrate leading-edge technology and methodologies into our applications and modules. EtQ's ultimate goal is to increase convenience through functionality."
EtQ is the leading Quality, EHS, Operational Risk and Compliance management software provider for identifying, mitigating and preventing high-risk events through integration, automation and collaboration.

What Business Owners Need to Know About Fraud in Accounts Payable
Fraud happens in all organizations, whether small or large, for-profit or not-for-profit, privately-owned or publicly-traded.
This article was contributed by Leonard Vona, CPA, CFE, and CEO of Fraud Auditing, Inc.
When it comes to internal fraud, accounts payable or cash disbursements is the most common target for employees to steal company funds. With employee theft costing US businesses $50 billion annually, vendor fraud is by far the most prevalent method that is currently in use. As a business owner, your goal is to:
- Prevent the schemes
- Detect the schemes on a timely basis
- Ensure you have the right records to perform an investigation if one and two fail
However, doing this effectively requires a thorough understanding of the recent history of payments fraud and what factors have been driving it.
So, Why Do Employees Steal?
The Fraud Triangle is the most commonly accepted criminology theory on why people commit asset misappropriation schemes.
First, pressures facing people cause them to make bad decisions. Even good employees or the most trusted employee may have a life experience which causes them to steal money from the company.
Second, the rationalization aspect is how they justify their actions. Typically, people committing fraud will come up with an excuse for themselves that justify the dishonest actions that they are performing.
Lastly, the key item is opportunity. Unfortunately, the way most businesses pay their vendors creates plenty of opportunities throughout the process for employees to follow through on plans to commit fraud.
Here is a real-life story of the fraud triangle coming to fruition:
The treasurer of a volunteer fire department frequently discussed exciting bets and gambling opportunities with the other firemen on staff. However, what he wasn't discussing was that he had an addiction to gambling, and was bankrolling money from the firehouse's bank account into his own account to fund it. The staff only caught on to the habit when the telephone company turned off the fire chief's phone line after failing to pay the bill. There was no money left in the department's bank account. Ironically, the perpetrator was an auditor in his full-time job.
This story teaches a valuable lesson about the unexpected places that payment fraud can rear its ugly head. If a group of people that know each other well, risk their lives together, and have known each other for twenty years did not see the signs of something like this taking place, would you be able to?
Combatting the Fraud Triangle
As business owners, we need to be aware of the Pressures and Rationalization aspect of the fraud triangle. This does not mean becoming paranoid, but rather remaining open to the possibility that your employees can fall on hard times financially, and your company's finances represent an appealing source of immediate funding to people in challenging situations. I call this open-mindedness educated skepticism.
Opportunity, on the other hand, is directly related to the job functions and the internal controls you have in your organization. Internal controls are both your administrative procedures and the controls that exist in your accounts payable system. Separation of duties and approval controls are the foundation of every internal control system and should be practiced during the process of paying every invoice.
To illustrate what this control looks like in action: The person entering vendor invoices is not the same person setting or changing vendor information. If you don't have the headcount for that, you are receiving a report of all new vendors or changes to the vendor master file and ensuring that all changes are valid.
Understanding the Sophistication of Concealment
Fraud schemes facing accounts payable are predictable. They are not complex. What you need to understand is the difference between the scheme and the sophistication of concealment used by the perpetrator to create the illusion that the disbursements are for a valid purpose.
A false billing scheme is simple, you pay for services that you never received. The concealment aspect is creating a vendor invoice that looks real, actually creating a real company at the secretary of state, setting up a bank account to negotiate the checks, and recording the disbursement in the general ledger that receives less scrutiny.
Another common scheme involves intentionally paying invoices twice. For example, let's say once a month, the accounts payable clerk intentionally pays a non-complicit vendor invoice twice. She recorded the first invoice as 1019 and the second invoice as 1019A. She would then call the vendor and state she had paid the invoice twice in error. She always waited a few days to make sure the company had deposited the check. Then, she would ask the company to send a refund to her attention. She would forge the endorsement on the back of the check and cash the check at a check cashing company.
Best Practices for Fraud Mitigation
There are some very simple procedures that you can perform to mitigate the likelihood of an employees stealing your money in schemes like these:
- Receive the bank statements at your home. Open the statements and review the disbursement activity. Are there any electronic withdrawals that are suspicious?
- Do not be predictable in your review of the general ledger, when you perform the review, what you look for and the type of questions you ask.
- Once a year, have someone other than the assigned person, reconcile the bank accounts. Maybe, hire your CPA firm to perform the job. Make sure everyone knows about this procedure. Your goal is to prevent versus catch someone.
- Perform background checks on new employees. Economic crime has one of the highest rates of repeat offenders.
- Ensure that your company is leveraging the built-in payment controls that come with AP Automation solutions like MineralTree.
And a friendly reminder: Many years ago, the famous bank robber Willie Sutton was asked why he robbed banks. He said, "That is where the money is." Accounts payable is where the money is.

I have noticed that many of my current clients have trouble moving their legs in their pelvis. They are using other parts of their body to make movement like walking, climbing stairs or shifting into yoga asana happen.
Test out how well your leg moves in your pelvis but trying this short practice. You will need a block (or use a stair) and a wall, railing or chair for balance.
Try stepping one foot up onto the block or step. What do you notice? Is your back, hips or torso moving to allow you to get that foot up and onto the block? Are you holding your breath when you move?
If you are able to bring your foot to the block, use the wall or railing as a support and see if you can dangle your other leg without shifting through the hip or spine on that side. Start with your easiest motion.
The more we notice, the more we work with ease, the more ease we will find. Enjoy exploring moving leg bones in pelvis and get those great legs moving well!
If you are interested in learning more check out this article and clip from Dr. Evan Osar to explore the relationship between core, stability and leg movement.

Aloha Kaua`i Ohana,
It is my honor to run for Kaua`i County Council this Summer 2018.
Many issues face our island community. This grassroots campaign has been inspired by being a voice and advocate for the people through my role as a community affairs programmer, listening and learning to concerns coupled with direct participation in the public process to help designs solutions. My committed focus is on the well-being and health of the peoples and the islands of Kauai and Ni`ihau. Helping with the recent storm recovery in Wainiha and Ha`ena underscored where our public policy has weak points and was my compelling motivation to run again for council. We have long been in a slow crisis of the larger economy pressuring our people out of their homes and off the island. We need to out-create the problem. With no competing job interest and with my sons now grown into independent young men, I have the capacity for the full-time commitment the county council deserves. We need to work to solve problems without having to make anybody wrong. We all win, when we all win. Let my 30 years experience in small business, engineering, education and community development work for you, the people, in bringing the kind of change and improvements that are so greatly needed in this time. Thank you for your support.

Auto showrooms and car dealerships, in general, are challenging to clean. The environment can be tricky for several reasons:
- Dealerships keep long hours
- Extra security measures needed
- Vehicles drive on floor surfaces
- High traffic
Some cleaning services that we consult with will not accept car dealerships as a client. How you handle this will be up to you. Most car dealerships are open 6-7 days a week and keep long hours. Dealerships do not close on time if they are working with a customer, negotiating or closing a deal. We have seen plenty of managers & sales staff leave 1-2 hours after close.
If you arrive at close to clean, and they are working with a customer, they will not want you or your staff cleaning in the area they are working in. Hopefully, you can start in other areas or you will end up waiting, even leaving and returning later.
Car dealerships get very dirty, especially in the winter months if you live in an area with snow and cold weather. There is a lot of foot traffic and most of the employees are there all day, start to finish.
Cleaning a Showroom:
The ideal way to maintain a showroom floor is with a small auto scrubber after dust mopping. We have even used a ride on scrubber in a massive auto complex we cleaned for several years. Of course, with any machinery in the showroom, there is a chance that you or your staff can bump and damage a brand new vehicle.
Suggested Scope of Service:
- Clean entrance doors
- Check for cobwebs
- Remove all trash, most cans will have coffee in them and liners will need to be replaced
- Wipe flat surfaces, common areas as needed
- Vacuum carpeted areas including walk-off mats
- Sweep/dust mop floors (floors may be wet when you arrive from rain/snow that gets tracked in)
- Wash floor with a clean mop head and mild floor cleaning solution
- If using auto scrubber be sure to mop edges and under cars
For the rest of the dealership, it's similar to other office facilities with the exception of the mechanic restrooms. They will be very dirty. Regarding security there are a few things to consider:
- Customers often browse car lots after hours or weekends while the dealership is closed. If they see someone inside they may try to come in. Be sure the doors are locked and never open them for anyone.
- Keys to vehicles are often kept in a cabinet that is not secured. You need to be extra cautious when hiring employees.
- There are many entrances to a dealership. If the dealership staff leaves one open, you will probably be blamed for it.
I would suggest that you carefully consider whether or not to clean car dealerships. It's a big commitment. If you need help with your cleaning business please contact us. We would love to help you get to the next level.

To voters, it was merely another in a long string of campaign e-mails. But for the strategists who wrote the e-mail, it marked the end of a critical test for the party.
Republicans openly admit having been bested by President Obama's savvy microtargeting and analytics team in the 2012 election. Ever since, the right has been playing catch-up — trying to understand how to apply voter data to political campaigns in a digital age.
On Wednesday, GOP officials said the Florida race was the most comprehensive demonstration of their new approach yet. The effort included the use of computer models to pinpoint and reach likely Republican supporters; a mobile app that gave canvassers customized scripts to use while going door-to-door; and an API that let volunteers update voter records from the field. Top Republicans dream of offering that package of data and services to all conservative campaigns in the future.
It's the first time that the Republican National Committee has deployed all of its new tools in one race. RNC chief digital officer Chuck DeFeo says the test proved how accurate the system can be.
"One thing we haven't released yet — the RNC set a vote goal" with the model, DeFeo said. "We felt Jolly needed 89,514 votes. He won with 89,099 votes. ... The power here is, we were using multiple methods of communicating to a specific universe of people we knew would help reach our goal."
Florida is a state that tends to vote early and by absentee ballot. So as soon as Jolly won the Republican nomination, GOP strategists went to work identifying people who'd requested absentee ballots and trying to predict — using a tool the GOP calls RNC Foresight — how likely they were to vote. They used information from Data Trust, the RNC's external data warehouse, to find out who might be susceptible to messaging. Organizers waged an "aggressive" e-mail campaign targeting those people, according to DeFeo, and they customized their outreach efforts according to each voter. If those interactions produced new data on those people, it was logged and uploaded back to the database. Every person's characteristics added up to a "voter score" that estimated his or her propensity to vote. Coordinating the information was RNC Control Panel — a dashboard that made information more easily available to organizers in the field.
These tactics are nothing new for Democrats. Obama had been using voter scores as early as 2008 to determine a voter's likelihood of supporting the then-senator. So in some ways, the GOP's experiment in Florida merely brings the party up to speed.
Republican officials say it's too early to tell what future lessons, if any, can be drawn from the test. But they pointed to the fact that Tuesday's contest was a close one — Jolly won by a roughly 3,400-vote margin in a district that had broken for Obama in both 2008 and 2012. As Slate's Dave Weigel notes, Sink and her supporters had also outspent Jolly and his own. Despite beginning at a disadvantage, Republicans nevertheless came away with a win — one that's likely to bolster the party's confidence in data and analytics.
The experiment is also likely to soothe conservatives who feared what until now had been a months-long silence from the RNC on its new data platform.
"I have a dozen clients with primary elections in two months, and early voting starts in two weeks. If I were waiting for people sitting inside the Beltway for marching orders, I wouldn't have done anything yet," GOP strategist Vincent Harris told Reuters last month. "We have had to do this ourselves without a lot of help from the establishment."
Other consultants and strategists have privately echoed that anxiety, claiming that the RNC is running out of time to roll out the technological upgrades. RNC officials, meanwhile, were quick to downplay the criticism.
"It's March," said DeFeo. "A lot of the campaigns are just ramping up themselves. It's a little early in the cycle for anyone to make those kinds of statements. We are proactively reaching out to campaigns and vendors so we can all work together to make our products — and in turn, our candidates — better."

WHAT IS DIVING? – from diving.ca
Diving is an aquatic sport that debuted as an Olympic event in 1904. Today, the sport of diving is sanctioned by the International Swimming Federation (FINA), and contains a total of 8 different events at the Olympic Games:
+ women's and men's individual 3 meter springboard events (2);
+ women's and men's synchronized 3 meter springboard events (2);
+ women's and men's individual 10 meter platform events (2);
+ women's and men's synchronized 10 meter platform events (2).
The mixed 3-meter and 10-meter synchronized diving events were added to the international diving circuit in 2015. Will they ever be at the Olympics? It remains to be seen…
But rest assured that diving isn't a sport that is only practiced at the Olympics! Different levels of lessons are offered across the country, from intro to diving for ages 5 and under, all the way up to the Masters for those 80 years and up. No matter the level or the age, it's possible to learn and to enjoy diving.
Many terms are used in the diving world to refer to specific things. There are several terms that will allow you to better understand the sport of diving.
First, there are six different types of dives that fall into 6 different groups:
Group 1 = Front (moving forward, rotating forward)
Group 2 = Back (standing backward, rotating backward)
Group 3 = Reverse (moving forward, rotating backward)
Group 4 = Inward (standing backward, rotating forward)
Group 5 = Twisting (rotating and twisting at the same time)
Group 6 = Armstand (starting from armstand on platform only)
Then there are four positions in which the dive can be performed:
A: Straight
B: Pike
C: Tuck
D: Free (used only on twisting dives)
That's not all! The types of dives and positions are combined so that each existing dive is identifiable. Each dive is assigned a code number of 3 to 4 numbers and a single letter:
The first digit indicates the direction of rotation or type of dive
1 = Front
2 = Back
3 = Reverse
4 = Inward
5 = Twisting
6 = Armstand
The second digit indicates the initial position of flight for groups 1 to 4
1 = Flying
2 = Not flying
The third digit indicates the number of ½ somersaults
1 = A simple dive (½ rotation)
2 = One somersault (1 full rotation)
3 = 1½ somersaults (1 full rotation + ½ a rotation)
4 = 2 somersaults (2 full rotations)
The fourth digit indicates the number of ½ twists
1 = ½ twist
2 = 1 twist
3 = 1 ½ twists
4 = 2 twists
The last character indicates the position
A: Straight
B: Pike
C: Tuck
D: Free
Once you're able to identify them, it's important to know that each dive also has its degree of difficulty (DD). The DD varies according to the level of difficulty of the dive and the height at which it is executed. Currently on the circuit, the dives that have the highest DD are the 109B (4½ front pike), the 5257B (2½ back with 3½ twists) and the 409C (4½ inward tuck) on the 10 meter platform with a DD of 4.1.
Other terms you may hear if you watch competitions or take part in diving sessions…
+ A "rip" entry = is a "splash-less" entry into the water, every diver strives to execute this properly
+ A "vertical" entry = is the desired position of the body, perfectly perpendicular to the surface of the water (the vertical water entry). It can also indicate the direction of the body when leaving the springboard or platform (the vertical departure).
+ A "short" entry = represents a water entry that is shorter than the vertical, therefore it lacks rotation.
+ An "over the vertical" entry = represents a water entry that is greater than the vertical, therefore it results in too much rotation.
+ The connection = represents the moment where the diver will take his position in the air.
+ "Whip" = refers to the action that is done by the divers at the beginning of the dive to create the rotation. A term that may seem strange if you don't fully understand the definition in relation to diving.
+ Being "tight" = a term that coaches like to use to describe a muscle contraction throughout the whole body that allows for better control and precision.
+ A "gainer" = refers to the desired position during the dive opening which results in a maximum abdominal contraction.
The number of dives to be executed during competition may vary according to the level of the competition (ex: regional, provincial, national, etc.) and the type of event (junior, senior, individual, synchronized or mixed).
During the Olympic Games or competitions on the international circuit, male divers must perform between 6 dives, while female divers perform 5 divers, either on the 3 meter springboard or the 10 meter platform:
During competitions, divers can only perform a maximum number of dives. However, during training they can practice hundreds of different dives in order to improve their competitive dives. Repetition is an essential element in achieving diving performance.
WOMEN – 5 optional dives (no DD limit) in each session of the competition
MEN – 6 optional dives (no DD limit) in each session of the competition
When watching the dives, judges must consider five different phases:
1) The starting position on the board (body alignment);
2) The approach and hurdle (fluidity, rhythm);
3) The take-off (power, direction, distance from the springboard/platform);
4) The flight (in the air, positions, openings, solidity);
5) The entry (splash, vertical or not in relation to the water).
The judges watch the dive and then instantly provide a score between 0 and 10, including half points. In order to give their score, they must not only observe the 5 phases of the dive, but must also respect a scale of marks which represents the level of satisfaction of the dive that was executed.
0 points: Completely failed
0.5 to 2 points: Unsatisfactory
2.5 to 4.5 points: Deficient
5 to 6.5 points: Satisfactory
7 to 8 points: Good
8.5 to 9.5 points: Very good
10 points: Excellent
What is the difference between good and exceptional diving? There are four main factors that often come into play:
1) Strength and power;
2) Economy of movement throughout the dive;
3) Tight positions and good body lines;
4) Precision.
Number of judges: up to 7
The highest and lowest scores are disregarded.
The remaining scores are added together.
The sum is multiplied by the DD of the dive to give them their final score.
The final score of each dive is added together to give the final score.

The children of the earth will seek to hide themselves from the presence of the Great Glory, trembling and confounded. You, sinners, you are accursed forever; there is no peace for you! ●But you, souls of the righteous, fear not; and be hopeful, you souls that died in righteousness! ●Be not sad because you're souls have gone down into Sheol in sorrow; or (because) your flesh fared not well the earthly existence in accordance with your goodness; indeed the time you happened to be in existence was (a time of) sinners, a time of curse and a time of plague. ●When you die, the sinners will speak over you: As we die, so do the righteous die.

File Under "Hilariously Unreflexive Tweets"
Posted by Ed under development, Development Institutions, policy
Comments Off on File Under "Hilariously Unreflexive Tweets"
So, this just popped up in my twitter feed from @USAID:
What's fun about this tweet is the fact that USAID, and indeed most development donors, are "other places" where failure = damage to your career and budget. There are a host of reasons for this (just start reading this Natsios piece and work out from there), but anyone who denies this problem is just delusional (there are pockets of high risk operations at USAID, but they are the exceptions, not the rule).
Also note, this tweet is related to a discussion of innovation policy…which, it seems to me, missed the point of innovation entirely. Let me summarize a workable innovation policy for everyone: If donors want innovation, they need to foster a culture of reasonable risk for big rewards among their staff and implementers. They need to stop being the "other places" in this tweet. How they do this depends on the institution, but this should be the goal.
See, you don't even need an executive summary for that.

Dottie Metcalf-Lindenburger
NASA Astronaut (Space Shuttle Discovery 2010), Underwater Explorer, & Teacher
Check availability for this speaker by clicking here.
Extra-Terrestrial: A Teacher-Turned Astronaut's Lesson Plan for Success ///
Click here to see her talk at TEDxRainier
A teacher who dreamed since childhood of becoming an astronaut, Dottie Metcalf-Lindenberger has been a mission specialist with NASA on the International Space Station and a Space Shuttle crew member on STS-131.
"Dottie Metcalf-Lindenburger's story is inspiring to people of all ages, nationalities and professions. Our audience greatly enjoyed hearing her talk about her life, her career path and her experience with NASA. She was a pleasure to work with on the planning side, being quick to respond and accommodating. I highly recommend Dottie to anyone looking to turn a boring old meeting into something truly extraordinary and fit for the stars!" —Novo Nordisk
With math and science teachers for parents, Dottie was drawn to learning and exploration from an early age, and at a time when NASA's shuttle program was reaching its highest heights. Watching the hard-won success of legends Sally Ride and Kathryn Sullivan–and later the tragedy of teacher-turned-astronaut Christa McAuliffe–made indelible impressions on Dottie. So did an impassioned visit to Space Camp, where Dottie purchased, and later built, a model of the Space Shuttle Discovery. It was an almost prophetic choice: exactly 20 years later, she rode the actual Discovery Shuttle to the International Space Station.
During her tenure as a high school science teacher in Vancouver, Washington, Dottie found herself on the NASA website, researching a question for a student ("How do astronauts go to the bathroom in space?"). That random inquiry led her to applying to become an astronaut, and—ultimately—to space.
Following space flight, Dottie worked as a Cape Crusader for the final three shuttle missions. She also supported the Astronaut Office Station Operation Branch as a lead for the provisions, manifests, and stowage twig. Soon after this land-based work, Dottie commanded the NASA Extreme Environment Mission Operations (NEEMO) 16, an underwater habitat with an international crew of aquanauts and habitat technicians. Together, they simulated spacewalks that can be applied to future space research and exploration.
"We invited Dottie Metcalf-Lindenburger to present at our annual client event at the Museum of Flight, an ideal venue for her stories from space. The audience was clearly engaged, and we received very positive feedback from our guests and staff." —BECU Trust Services
Dottie, having now earned a Masters in Applied Geosciences, is Senior Staff Geologist at a firm in Seattle. She is also a cum laude graduate of Whitman College in Washington, with honors in geology, is a member of Phi Beta Kappa, earned her teaching certification in 1999.
"Dottie was everything we were looking for. Not only was her message great, but she was so gracious…." —Mark Di Virgilio, Director, Admissions, Edmonds Community College
Dottie's keynote—
Extra-Terrestrial: A Teacher-Turned Astronaut's Lesson Plan for Success
So how does a high school earth science and astronomy teacher end up orbiting the earth 238 times?
In this multi-media program, Dottie shares a powerful tale of realizing her big dreams. And how those of us who remain earthbound can also reach our own seemingly insurmountable, sky-high goals. Combining her riveting stories with video footage and behind-the-scenes photos from space, Dottie tells audiences what it's like to train for space travel. And emphasizes the importance of education, service and mentorship at all ages. She also explains how one student's curiosity about going to the bathroom in space became Dottie's unlikely bridge to space travel.
Dottie finds her "Lesson Plan" for success is founded on three main principles that we can all apply:
- Dream boldly, as you build the model of your future self
- Work purposefully, as you take steps toward what's next
- Gain gratitude, as being thankful is earthly rocket fuel for our goals
She'll also discuss:
- Why curiosity matters—and how to tap yours more often
- How a deep desire to serve others is often integral to success
- While luck factors in, how to make more "luck" happen in your life
Among her awards: Ducan Bonjorni Extraordinary Achievement Award from Central Washington University (2010), Pete Reid Award for Young Alumni from Whitman College (2009), Space Camp Hall of Fame Inductee (2007), VIP for the Vancouver School District (2004), Outstanding Teacher Preparation Candidate at Central Washington University (1999), Geological Society of America (GSA) Field Camp Award (1996) and the following Whitman College Awards: Leed's Geology Award and Order of the Waiilaptu, National Association of Intercollegiate Athletes (NAIA) Academic All-American in Cross Country and Track (1995-1996) and NAIA Conference Champion in the 10K (1996). She also mapped the last glaciations of Russell Creek in Wyoming and mapped/determined the petrology of rocks in the Wet Mountain region of Colorado; both research positions led to publications.
Add a Powerful Booster Rocket to your Experience with Dottie:
In your "Booster Rocket" add-on breakout or extended keynote, Dottie will tailor your group's educational experience in line with your learning goals. You can choose from what early and current space explorers know about preparation, testing, perseverance, failure and resiliency; what it takes to move past adversity to uncover new innovations and ways of thinking and doing; eye-opening scientific studies in space and why they matter so much to our daily lives on earth; and more.
If your event takes place at Puget Sound area's Museum of Flight or the Future of Flight museum, we can arrange for your group to have a guided, personalized tour with Dottie in the exhibits where your group will see, learn, touch and hear—first hand—what human's exploration of space can teach us about business and personal success on earth. Ask us for details.
