June 18, 1999, Shanghai Hutai Road, 1800 milky white building body, orange "B & Q" Logo will be clearly visible. In order to celebrate the opening, the banners of "China's No.1 store" and "496th globe" in orange-yellow font on white are decorated on both sides of the signboard. At the same time, the meaning of "people living and working in peace," the name of B & Q, appeared for the first time in mainland China.
A report by Merrill Lynch Bank in March 2017 indicated that Kingfisher, the parent company of B & Q, may further sell its lossy stores in China and return the cash to the shareholders. The news came out, even triggered Kingfisher shares rose.
Fifteen years later, the British home-retail giant has been expanding at a very rapid rate in the Chinese market. With over 25 cities and 63 stores, the British retail giant lost money and closed more than 20 stores in a bid to maintain it.
It did not "run away" after facing a loss like Home Depot, nor was it able to temporarily survive as IKEA pushed down prices through global sourcing. B & Q China After experiencing the leadership exchange of blood and the "B & Q China Revival Plan," its sales model is still not recognized by Chinese consumers and continues to suffer losses and lawsuits.
In an interview with reporters from the China Market Department at B & Q, spokesman Zhou Qiong said, "B & Q believes the Chinese market is huge and we play an important role in it."
"As a home-based retailer, we work hard to meet the needs of our customers to grow sales while developing sustainable and profitable business models, both of which are our focus." But at its parent company, Kingfisher, perhaps It is imperative to find a partner in China.
According to Nigel Cope, director of media relations at Kingfisher's UK headquarters, to reporters, B & Q China will replicate the joint venture model that Kingfisher carried out in Turkey. A few months ago, the relevant partners were looking for jobs Expand.
This strategy, or indicate that Kingfisher Group will be part of the domestic enterprises to transfer B & Q China equity.
"Decline" of B & Q
Bijian Beijing Sijiqing store in Beijing, the original two-story business area has now been reduced to a layer; previously developed soft packs now only rely on the package, curtains and the like, occupy a small area; tile brand only the champion , Marco Polo and other domestic brands.
Official data show that B & Q has more than 2,600 kinds of special sales brand products. B & Q will also continue to expand its sales of specialty brand products, these products "have an international design background, and only Bailianju exclusive sales." The development of its own brand strategy, it is precisely in a large number of brands after the withdrawal of B & Q began to rise.
It seems the city of Tianjin Environmental Products Promotion Association Zhang Yuncheng, B & Q mode in China acclimatized or its "declining" the main reason.
"From a global perspective, B & Q mode and no problem, but for Chinese consumers, too far ahead, at least for now does not meet the Chinese consumer habits." Zhang Yuncheng pointed out that the local Red Star Macalline, actually far from home B & Q by consumers welcome.
Repeated exposure and complaints, a decline in the image of B & Q is the most important factor.
In the public comment online Shanghai 12 B & Q stores, due to poor service attitude, high prices, quality problems hit the "one star" the lowest score of up to 69 reviews, most of the reviews are concentrated in the "two stars", " Samsung. " The data of 12315 Command Center of Guangzhou Administration of Industry and Commerce show that in 2013, nearly 70 consumers filed complaints against B & Q. Complaints mainly related to the number of false materials, quality is not pass and delay the construction period.
Mark Tran, the British Guardian correspondent who interviewed BJAM in Beijing during his heyday in China in 2007, pointed out at the time that although first-tier cities such as Beijing and Shanghai could achieve better results, City, B & Q must face the strong competition of local home brand enterprises.

When it comes to staying healthy, every little bit of preparation helps in the eyes of Kristaps Porzingis.
Porzingis, 22, is trying something new. His longtime Spanish physiotherapist will live in New York for this season, as The Post reported Friday.
Porzingis indicated his physio will travel to road games, too — on Porzingis' dime. His name is Manolo Valdivieso, who worked with Porzingis all the way back to his Spanish League games in Seville. Valdivieso also worked with him all offseason in Europe as the 7-foot-3 Latvian made a point to stay away from New York.
After missing 26 games in his first two seasons, Porzingis will make this adjustment in an effort to improve durability.
"He's been with me [for a while], we'll keep working together, keep helping me out,'' Porzingis said following Sunday's open practice at the Garden. "He'll be wherever I am. He knows me the best, knows my body the best. He worked with me when I was 17, 18 years old.''Obviously, Porzingis was disgruntled with a lot of items when he blew off his exit meeting last April — from Phil Jackson's eccentric leadership style to Jeff Hornacek's haranguing. Whether he was dissatisfied with the training staff is unclear.
Staying on the court means a lot to him. Porzingis has stated on numerous occasions in his first two seasons his goal of an 82-game season. Last season he missed 16, dealing for the first time with Achilles tendinitis.
Hence, when Porzingis missed a training-camp practice on Day 3 with a sore right knee, alarm bells sounded.
"I just [want to] get a little bit better, miss a few less games, play a few more games,'' Porzingis said of having his physio around. "It's worth it. It's a team I'm building [around] myself."
Sunday, Porzingis was back on the Garden court for the first time since April 2's game against Boston but bricked most of his jumpers.
"My legs were super heavy,'' Porzingis said. "I was flat on every shot I took today.''
The pressure this season will be super heavy on Porzingis now that Carmelo Anthony is finally gone. During a speech to the crowd, new GM Scott Perry dismissed the notion this is Porzingis' team, saying he is just one guy and needs a boost from all his teammates.
"Right now I don't feel the difference,'' Porzingis said. "When it's going great, he's the guy. When it's going bad, they want to kill you. It's going to be some tough moments. I got to be strong mentally in New York, and I'll be fine.''
"It's something I wanted one day to be like that [No. 1 guy],'' Porzingis said. "I kept working toward that. I'll keep doing that, growing as a player. Year by year, we can grow as a team.''
For the first time on the Garden hardwood, Porzingis and new center Enes Kanter, also a European, lined up on the same side. Porzingis enjoyed a good chemistry with his buddy, Willy Hernangomez, who figured to be this season's starting pivot. Now it's unclear.
"I enjoy playing with him a lot,'' Porzingis said of Kanter. "Big body, strong, always fighting for offensive rebounds if I miss. I think me and him [are] finding that bond together so we can play good basketball."

Whether the death of a loved-one is expected due to a chronic illness or from an untimely demise brought about by accidents, the grieving process is a huge and stressful challenge. It feels like a part of your body has been amputated, a big part of your life has been taken away, a permanent loss of something very significant. An inevitable part of life that will require you to reprogram and restart a new chapter without them. So, how do we stay strong from this powerful blow of life? How do we cope with this stressful event and move on to the next chapter of our lives bringing only memories of the ones dear to us?
Ways to Cope with Bereavement
Most of the religions believe in a life after death. Having the faith based on your religion can be helpful in this healing process. Also, surrounding yourself with people who can fill in the emptiness and serve as your support system can be helpful. Remind yourself of a purpose driven life that he/she lived. Remember that his/her life is a celebration and inspiration to others.
Pour your emotions out. Be honest with your feelings. Crying eases up the tension you feel inside. Suppressing tears and bottling emotions is not healthy. Talk to others about your feelings and how significant the person is to you. There are counseling and therapy about grief and bereavement available so you can gain support by sharing your feelings with others.

Channel your energy by indulging in activities that bring joy and fulfillment to your life. Not necessarily involving with activities that remind you of the person, but new personal hobbies and interests you can learn and develop. For example, you can spend time in the park to read a book, meditate or try gardening. Express your feelings by writing poems, composing songs or creating works of art that depict the life of the person who passed or how you feel.Grieving may also affect your physical health, as this experience is very much draining. Monitor and maintain a healthy diet and lifestyle as increased levels of stress weakens your immunity.
Consider getting a pet such as a cat or a dog so you will have someone to receive the love and care you initially have poured to somebody who passed. Create life to celebrate a life that was lost. Allow yourself to remember dates that are significant to you and to the person who passed. Use this time to honor him/her on his/her birthday or anniversaries. Offer acceptable spiritual or religious practices.

Moving on
Definitely, there is no one size fits all kind of tips that will work for everyone. Some people go through the process quicker than others. This varies from every individual. Finally, be reminded that no matter how bad, depressed and gloomy you feel right now, the process of opening a new chapter of your life is something you should look forward to. The plans you've made and the landscape of the future you have foreseen may have dramatically changed, but these changes will become more familiar. You will be more aware of it gaining control over your feelings and eventually one day you will wake up ready to face and welcome the new chapter of your life.

A panel lead by faculty discussed their experiences in teaching courses online Friday morning, The Duke Chronicle reports.
The forum was a response to an April meeting of the Arts and Sciences Council that voted against a motion to adopt online courses for credit. Subsequently, the University's contract with 2U—an online education company—was broken.
"The April resolution of the Arts and Sciences Council encouraged the faculty and council to encourage and support faculty that are experimenting with online teaching and learning," said Thomas Robisheaux, chair of the council. All of the professors that spoke had developed and taught a Massive Open Online Course.
"The faculty really want to and need to know what we are currently doing with online learning," Robisheaux said.
Orin Starn, professor and chair of the cultural anthropology department, said he was eager to try teaching an online class. Before he began developing his MOOC, however, Starn said that he had not considered the ethical implications of working in an online forum, nor had he realized how much work would go into producing the course.
"It is a nightmare just how hard it is to teach these classes," Starn said.
He estimated that it took 20 times more effort to complete the lessons for his MOOC than for his in-person course.

Amber Kuo 郭采潔 posted on her Facebook, "I will bless you everyday, bless your heart, bless your health." These are some intriguing words. Reporters learned from both side's friends that the break up of their three year relationship was amicable, but both of their agents were reluctant to say anything.
Reportedly, the couple had relationship issues since August of last year. They continued to work at their relationship but unfortunately they could not overcome the problems.
Tony Yang 楊祐寧 also issued a statement, "Thank you for your continued blessings and anticipation. We have almost lived apart for work for half a year. It was hard for us both, but we did not give up! Thank you again for your concern, and sorry to make you worry!"

I love those NBC specials on Kona, its taken me a little while to figure out why but with a bit of reflection and particularly considering those on higher repeat cycles than others I reckon I've figured it out. Those Kona videos give me heroes (forgive me a little while this blog goes a little sideways).
"As you get older it is harder to have heroes, but it is sort of necessary"
- Ernest Hemmingway
Ernest was a bit busy getting married, getting drunk, watching bull fights and writing some of the great literature of the 20th century to elaborate on why heroes are "sort of necessary" but his words feel kind of right. So, this being 2016 I turned to the internet for some more ideas on why heroes might be good for us. Now "psychology today" is hardly a peer reviewed journal on the cutting edge and their article (here) is written in the sort of soft and cuddly language I cringe from but I agree with the gist of it.
In short (and in my words), this is why its good to have heroes.
1. Heroes elevate us.
One of my favourite philosophers Johnathon Haidt – I love his book the Happiness Hypothesis – writes that elevation is "elicited by acts of virtue or moral beauty; it causes warm, open feelings in the chest. "When people experience elevation, they feel a mix of awe, reverence, and admiration for a morally beautiful act. " Basically we feel good – and that's something worth chasing.
2. Heroes help us deal with our stuff
Hero stories show us people in worse straits than us making it through. They can make us feel less alone, calm our fears, buoy our spirits, and nourish our hopes. All this gives (or at least enhances) our sense of meaning and purpose.
3. Heroes give us a community
The hero and their story forges a strong sense of social identity. If the hero is an effective one, they do something that exemplifies and affirm the community's most cherished values. The validation of a shared worldview, told vividly in storytelling, cements social bonds.
4. Heroes show us how to transform our lives
Every hero story tells of a journey toward vast personal transformation. Heroes and their stories show us that only when we heroically risk change and growth in our own lives will we reach our full potential.
5. Heroes turn us into heroes ourselves
Good heroes use the power of transformation not only to change themselves for the better, but also to transform the world. That elevation we feel hearing their stories, which warms and uplifts us, also includes a desire to become a better person.
Again, as Jonathan Haidt says, elevation "motivates people to behave more virtuously themselves." The elevation we feel upon witnessing a heroic act transforms us into believing we are capable of heroic acts ourselves.
Which brings me back to those Kona Videos.
Having watched pretty much all of them (many, many times – usually while sweating and hurting) I've got a new constellation of heroes and hero stories I can draw upon. Hands up all those that get a little teary with the stories of Jon Blaise (Blazeman) and his struggles with ALS or Team Hoyt with the dad towing his son behind him on the swim in raft or pushing him through the entire marathon.
Sometimes its not even the really big things but the little ones can be just as important. One of my favorite stories is Rebekah Keat giving Chrissie Wellington a spare CO2 cartridge despite that generosity almost certainly saving Chrissie and costing Bek a place.
Think about these athletes, or Marc Herremans returning to race after being paralysed or even the long running saga of Chris McCormack trying to win for so long and finally breaking through and we see all these people fulfilling the role of hero perfectly and giving me hero stories I can lean on when I need them.
That's why Kona videos are one of my favourite things about triathlon.
(oh, and they have literally hundreds of cheesy quotes which as I said before, I absolutely love).

What Research About Tips Can Teach You
Janitorial Service for a Tidy House
With the fast-paced and busy life that the people in all sort of society are living now, cleaning the entire house and compound is quite a huge and toilsome task. And because some people actually work during weekends, they don't have time to clean their house anymore. While some others don't work on Saturdays and Sundays, they mostly spend these days relaxing and bonding with their families. Those might be some of the many reasons why people choose to hire janitorial services. As the name suggests, it is a kind of service that caters to the need of the individuals who want to have their houses cleaned.
If you also want to save yourself the trouble of cleaning the entirety of your house, you can hire a residential cleaning service. This way, you won't have to worry about your house being infested by bugs, or being covered by dirt and dust while at the same time enjoying your free time. It is inevitable that you spend, of course, as how you would have to spend for your car maintenance. Of course, you will have your budget ready if you want to hire a janitorial service to clean your home.
Looking for companies that offer residential cleaning services is easy since you can check on them online, but no matter how easy it is, you must still make sure that the website is legit and is really owned by a company. There are many people who use the internet to scam people out of their money, after all, so you should be more careful, most especially if the website is asking for your personal information.
Case Study: My Experience With Janitorial
Nowadays, people hire residential cleaning services that use organic materials, and if you are environment-friendly, you should also try it. Unlike the harmful chemicals that some residential cleaning services use, the ones use by others, that is, organic materials are way much better since they do not trigger allergies, and are also environment-friendly. A member of your family might be very sensitive to this sort of compound or has an allergy and all the more reason why you must avoid it at any cost. Therefore, it is very important to know what sort of chemicals or compounds residential cleaning services are using because if you know, you can choose whether to avoid or accept their cleaning methods.
5 Uses For Training
Janitorial Services are in charge of cleaning every part of your house and that includes the kitchen, furniture, desks, tables and chairs, doors, windows and window panes, floor, refrigerator and many more. Aside from cleaning and disinfecting the sink, they also include your rooms and clean them by removing the cobwebs and dusting every furniture and things located in your room, and throwing the trash and cleaning your cabinets.

When spring finally arrived this year I felt like the whole world breathed a sigh of relief. Those long days with tiny amounts of sunshine and with huge amounts of work are finally behind us. And although I have exams later on this term, I couldn't help but feel like the worst was over.
I normally hate spring for its ever changing weather but this year I have come to really appreciate spring and the hope it brings. I have also realised that we are one season closer to Christmas! I am already listening to Christmas music and planning a Christmas party.
My family and I went to hagley park to see the amazing blossoms (the pictures don't do them justice) and also to Mona Vale for some family photos. It was a beautiful day, and that coupled with the fact that it was holidays at the time had me beaming from ear to ear.The Romper I was wearing on this day was a hand me down from my sister (That's right, still loving the hand me downs) which originally came from top shop. I paired it with a leather jacket, which turned out to be unnecessary as the weather was extremely warm, and my good old converse.
Hope you've been loving spring too! Anyone else feeling their winter blues drop away day by day?

Berkshire Aesthetics, led by Dr Selena Langdon, has recently introduced Coolsculpting to its clinic in Maidenhead, Berkshire.
Berkshire Aesthetics will provide the procedure under doctor-led supervision, ensuring optimum results and patient safety.
Dr Langdon said, "I have performed liposuction procedures, while working in the NHS during my training in Plastic surgery, and have seen first-hand the lengthy downtime that patients suffer. I choose to offer Coolsculpting as it achieves comparable results without the need for surgery or downtime".
As a doctor, who trained in Plastic Surgery at some of London's top hospitals, together with her time in General Practice, Dr Langdon understands the need to ensure treatments achieve the results they claim. Over 5 million Coolsculpting procedures have been carried out worldwide, with multiple clinical studies demonstrating evidence that it works.
Dr Langdon is so confident in Coolsculpting that she has invested in two machines, meaning she is one of a few Dualsculpting clinics in the UK. This means procedures can be carried out in half the time and patients can get back to their daily lives sooner.
About the treatment, Dr Langdon highlighted that "while Coolsculpting is not a replacement for a balanced diet, and exercise, the treatment is excellent for helping to shape the body and deal with stubborn areas of fat. It can be difficult for even those of us who are highly committed to their health to deal with certain areas, especially as we age, so it is great to know that Coolsculpting is available to help".

The basics of ma-ai
Another important concept in kendo is ma-ai (pronounced with a short pause in the middle, or sometimes "mawai").
It is used a lot in the dojo by instructors and is usually translated simply to mean 'distance'.
Ma'ai between you and your opponent
This distance is broken down into three basic kinds:
1) to-ma: far distance, where there is a gap between your kensen (sword tip) and your opponent's [below]
2) issoku-itto-no-ma-ai: "one step-one cut distance", where the two shinai
are crossed just past the tip
2) issoku-itto-no-ma-ai: "one step-one cut distance", where the two shinai
are crossed just past the tip
3) chika-ma: close distance, where shinai are crossed at between one third and
one half of the way down the blade
one half of the way down the blade
In the beginning we need to use the shinai to measure the distance between ourselves and our opponent. Even with this very obvious 'measuring stick' it is still easy to lose track of the ma'ai during keiko and allow your opponent to get too close without realising.
With more experience one becomes more aware of ma'ai and in fact it is possible to develop very strong instincts where it becomes almost a sixth sense.
Ma'ai in the dojo
We always train in the dojo along the centreline, coming back to the centre after each drill before we sonkyo with our opponent and part. Developing instincts about where you are in the dojo: how close you are to the wall behind you, how close you are to your training partners next to you, and so on, these are important distances to become familiar with as well.
Before we even start training we need to be able to judge kyuho no ma'ai (nine steps distance) so that we can bow, take three steps in to sonkyo and know we will be in the right place. When we do kata, a sense of where we are in the dojo helps us to stay near the middle and not 'drift' to one side as we perform them in sequence.
In these cases we don't have the shinai to use as a measuring stick, but we do have the fact that we train in the same way over and over. This helps to hone our sense of where we are in the dojo at all times.

Amateur League: Rathfern Rangers were in Division 1B action on Saturday, moving up to third in 1B following a 4-0 victory over one of manager Bill Campbell's old clubs, second-bottom Grove United.
Rangers were convincing in the end, but were indebted to an early second-half save from keeper Scott Hamilton to protect their 2-0 lead at the Diamond.
Grove might have made better use of three dangerous crosses towards the end of the first-half.
Rathfern's marksmen were Gary Orr, Alan Kerby, David Moore and Steven Logan.

Getting started in the Community Shares of COSH
How it works for members on-line.
Offers and wants appear on our website in the tabs at the top of the page. A member makes email contact with another member to express an "Offer or Want" and initiate a task. These members agree on its value, expressed in hours, and the task is completed.
To file the accounts, an exchange takes place on this website, each member confirms the task value, and the exchange is recognized in each account.
An annual 'fee' of time will be used to support one of our selected charities. In exchange, we have arranged that these charities will provide us with some administrative or physical support. Your fee each year is 4 COSH, required initially and before you are introduced into the members task pool, to list your offers and learn of other's wants. The 'fee' does not cover the operating costs of the Timebank (website registration, photocopies, and similar fixed costs) but does build up a Community Chest of COSH SHares.
How it will work off-line
As we stabilise the Timebank, we expect to hold quarterly introductory meetings to meet all members and possibly display the website information in a printed catalog. To facilitate transport, Timebank will try to coordinate meetings with Farmer's Market days, or other related evening meetings. More liaisons with charities will grow; please suggest worthy groups.
Start By Making a Commitment to Resilience, and Create Wealth within your Community.

Dear …
Thank you for your letter. I am putting a reminder about parking on and obstructing paths in my next letter to parents.
With regard to the cycle shelters, I think this is an excellent idea. I would also be happy to talk to [the traffic warden] if you could ask him to contact me.
Thank you for your offer of help. Perhaps we could meet to discuss the way forward?
Best Regards,
Hooray! That felt easy. Now to proceed to Step 2.

Longing for Justice Back to all sermons
Date: August 26, 2016
Speaker: Pastor Jeramie Rinne
Series: The Psalms
Category: Psalms
Scripture: Psalm 109:1–109:31
Tags: Psalms, Psalm 109, holiness, justice, judgment
Synopsis: Skeptics sometimes ask, "If there is a God, then why is the world filled with so much evil and injustice?" Christians have similar questions. Why doesn't God intervene to stop wickedness? The psalms of imprecation give a faith-filled shape to these questions. While these psalms seem harsh at first, they ultimately express a deep longing for God to bring the wicked to justice and set the world right.
There is no manuscript available for this sermon.

Regression toward the mean paid a visit to the NFC East in Week Six. We can't claim to be surprised.
Now if only the G-Men will play along.
While it's difficult to argue with the strength of the NFC East as a division this year — definitely the best division in football, only one game lost outside of the division, thanks to the Birds' craptasticness versus the Bears — I think we can towel off a wee bit about just how good the Cowboys, Giants, and Redskins are. That is, when we read Reuben Frank's relatively sober analysis of the Birds' remaining schedule and it includes dire predictions about what needs to happen for the Eagles to catch their division rivals (8-3 the rest of the way, and hope that the other teams in the division go .500), the scary part should be the 8-3 part, not the "other teams go .500″ part.
I mean, maybe the NFC East will win every game they play, but it doesn't seem very likely. Five games into the NFL season, we haven't seen very many twists and turns in the division quite yet. But the first week of October is a long way from the first week of December. Things like "major injuries," "ridiculous off-the-field issues," "contract disputes," and "meddling owners" all have a tendency to show up and impact performance. Will all four starting QBs in the division start 16 games? Not likely (and let's hope #5 isn't one of the ones to go down). Will the Cowboys and Giants manage their brewing dramas with Pacman and Plax? Probably, but crazy things can happen. Will T.O. keep it together? Will the Skins keep their offensive line healthy? On top of that, sometimes teams just don't show up and they take a bad loss to a "bad" team. It happens.
The bigger point here is that the Eagles can stay in the hunt with a couple wins, and that worrying about the rest of the division heading into Week Six seems a bit premature. Wining some of the games against those division rivals will make a difference, but they don't have to worry about that until November 9. Plenty of football between now and then. Until then, we can let the cruel laws of statistics take their course — Reversion to the Mean, you've never looked so good!
In the game that was the inverse of last Monday's shootout against Dallas, the Eagles roughed up the Steelers in a tough-ass defensive struggle, 15-6.
Quick-hit reactions to a very satisfying TV show:
Jim Johnson and the defensive front, take a bow. Six days after giving up 34 points (I won't blame them for the special teams TD), the Birds' defense channeled the 1991 Eagles and just humiliated the Steelers. The ball was snapped, and the line immediately moved two yards backward on pretty much every down. It seemed like the Steelers gave up running the ball pretty early, and stubbornly instructed Roethlisberger to try to throw the ball. Nope. It wasn't just a couple plays worth of pressure, it was pressure on every single down. Darren Howard, Juqua Parker and Trent Cole were monsters. The body language from the Steelers' receivers was the most telling part — you could tell they were sick of running routes and not even having the ball come out. Jim Johnson and the defense have officially made it up to us for the Dallas game.
Speaking of making it up to us after the Dallas game. I guess the Dawkins retirement can wait another week. His pterodactyl Makhtar (Editor's note: Makhtar is a slang term used to describe the act of violently smacking an object out of another's hand; derived from Makhtar N'Diaye and his proclivity for clumsy fouls) on Big Ben was the best Eagles' play of the season so far.
$57 million seemed like a lot, but, well, we like interceptions. Asante Samuel is definitely earning it after three weeks. I'll argue that he's actually been a little lost in the media shuffle so far, and that he'd definitely be a big story in most other towns, but given the unique, ahem, landscape of storylines amongst the local blathertariat, he's gotten off pretty easy. I can't say I'm anything but impressed by this guy.
I don't think I've ever been that excited about the punter. Get ready for a week of "This is the week it clicked for Sav Rocca" though he's been pretty good so far this season. He absolutely made a difference today.
And suddenly it's the third quarter of a preseason game. When Kolb checked in with Buckhalter and Booker in the backfield and Baskett and Avant split wide, well, it got pretty chill in my apartment. It got a little warmer when McNabb checked back in, but even that was an Eagles team without its starting backfield, Pro Bowl guard and presumptive top wideout. Yikes.
Booker is a liability in pass defense. Booker whiffed horribly on the McNabb pick, kind of fell down in the act of not even getting a finger on the blitzer. Not so impressive. Westbrook and Buckhalter don't miss like that.
Think happy thoughts. Let's pretend the 36 Chambers of Brian Westbrook isn't actually hurt and will be back at practice on Wednesday. Somewhere GCobb is working on a blog post about how Westbrook can't stay healthy.
Also, The NFC East still hasn't lost a game to anyone but an NFC East team. Though I hope the Cowboys lose in a barrage of injuries to fix that. Obviously.
Great game. Go Birds.
Welcome back Tank Daniels! Whilst we'll try not to begrudge you your odious Giants' Super Bowl ring too too much, we can at least take some minor solace in the winning attitude you'll be toting back to the Delaware Valley:
As for going back and forth from the Eagles and Giants, Daniels said there is one thing he loves equally about both teams.
"They both hate Dallas," he said. "Even though I'm from Arkansas, I grew up hating the Cowboys, and I'm fortunate that I can still hate them."
As for going back and forth from the Eagles and Giants, Daniels said there is one thing he loves equally about both teams.
"They both hate Dallas," he said. "Even though I'm from Arkansas, I grew up hating the Cowboys, and I'm fortunate that I can still hate them."
Generally, I think, yes, you've got the gist of it. Now just substitute "given the opportunity, would gouge an opposing fan's eye out with a rusty spoon" for "hate" and I think it's perfect.
I've been following Matt Mosley's NFC East blog at ESPN with some trepidation. Whilst I certainly have appreciated a handy roundup of NFC-East-focused news stories, I of course have been routinely offended by the lack of relative attention/ respect paid to the Eagles in said blog. And it isn't just because Mosley is a Dallas guy; he ran a mailbag column the other day that contained one sentence on the Birds and didn't even mention Philly as a contender for Anquan Boldin (he focused his Boldin talk on the Cowboys). Ew.
Still, his decision to rank the Illadelph faithful fourth (4th) amongst NFL fans (and tops in the NFC East) shows that he is at least capable of comporting himself like a gentleman if need be. He notes that the season-ticket waiting list is 70,000 people strong (on which I'm apparently number 898, if an e-mail from the Birds is to be believed!) and that we do an excellent job with loyalty and tailgating. The excerpt:
No other team dictates a city's mood like the Eagles. It's a loyal group of fans, but don't confuse it with blind loyalty. When the Eagles play poorly, they face the wrath of the fans. That rattles some guys, but players such as Jeremiah Trotter and Brian Dawkins have thrived on that tough love. Fans of opposing teams should tread lightly in the Linc.
Mosley also includes some generic quotes about Philly fans, which has only solidified my belief that I'm completely bored/ tired of reading hypotheses regarding why we like the Eagles so durn much; to be honest, I'm a bit bored with the "Philly fans are CRAZY" trope amongst the national blatherati:
"You could drop a Martian into Philly the day after a game, and within three minutes, he'd know if the Eagles had won or lost," said Glen Macnow, a sports radio talk show host for the wildly popular WIP and co-author of "The Great Philadelphia Fan Book." "When they win, you'll meet the friendliest cab drivers, CPAs and newspaper sellers. Whey they lose, it's like a five-day hangover."
Unlike places such as Dallas and Miami, Philadelphia isn't home to a lot of transplants. People aren't trying to leave, and potential newcomers aren't arriving any time soon. It sort of creates this bunker mentality that seems to fuel passion for local teams — but mainly the Eagles.

No transplants? Bunker mentality? Sure. Your bullshit is just as valid as my bullshit on this topic. But we appreciate the theorizing! Maybe next week we can make the mailbag.
Nothing is more beat than pre-season injuries, especially to star players. We don't like to see the more popular entertainers felled in training matches. And as much as we'd like to secretly gloat about Osi Umenyiora's season-ending knee injury, we don't like to see good players go down for the year (minor injuries that cause them to miss the Eagles game, well that's a different story…).
Still, and we're knowingly dodging bolts of lightning here, can we at least point out that it was Umenyiora who knocked Browns QB Derek Anderson out of the Cleveland-G-Men preseason match the Monday prior? Concussed him, to be more precise. In a preseason game. Sure, it was a clean hit, but he drove him into the turf — as a viewer, I wasn't shocked when Anderson didn't get up. And if I was, say, a Browns supporter, I'd've been mighty cheesed off at that hit.
We might also note a corollary here with the inexplicably unfined Dawkins helmet-to-helmet shot on Moosh the week before; Dawk left the following game with an ankle injury.
That karma is a pesky nemesis.
Thanks to the good folks at Google (Do No Evil! We swear we're not tracking Google Toolbar users all over the web and then using that data sell more Ad Sense! Honest!), we now have another way to stack rank the teams in the NFC East: web-site traffic! See above for a trailing 12-month summary of site traffic at philadelphiaeagles.com, giants.com, redskins.com, and dallascowboys.com, ranked by daily unique visitors. Probably best to click the image (will open in another window) to get a better view.
A few things worth noting here, beyond my mad skillz at getting the colors to map to each of the teams (Respek!): (Read the rest of this story.)
Things have been a little quiet on this end for the past week or so. Expect that to continue as we slowly approach the Long, Dark Teatime of the NFL Offseason. Not much going on right now for the Birds, and when we say not much, we don't mean "not much" in a week-before-the-draft sort of way. This is the "not much" of the NFL-happenings-will-be-limited-to-mid-round-draft-pick-signings-and-occasional-arrests variety. Ain't nothin' doin' in Birds land.
Still, the absence of actual news doesn't mean we need to put away our Haterade for the next month. Oh no! There's plenty to root for over the next month, specifically the ongoing mishaps, malfeasance and general discord of the Birds' divisional opponents! While the goody-two-shoes Eagles don't seem up to much this time of year (NOTE: said goody-two-shoes distinction does not apply to families of coaching staff), the G-Men and Cowboys seem happy to oblige will all sorts of pre-camp argy-bargy and nonsense.
(Read the rest of this story.)
I really wish I was a little more excited about the game this afternoon. The Birds' season is pretty much through, and I'm mostly concerned that the team has already quit — meaning that I'm going to watch them capitulate to the Cowboys this afternoon with little to no resistance.
That would not be sweet.
All I can think of as kickoff approaches is the opening lines from the very fabulous A Season With Verona by Tim Parks:
"FACCI SOGNARE says the banner. Make us dream! Please!"
And really, that's what I'm asking for this afternoon. I know there are no playoffs (much less a Super Bowl) in the Birds' immediate future. I'm rational. That's all done.
I just want something to get excited about. Something to convince me that these guys are worth rooting for and that next year might be better than this one. (Read the rest of this story.)
If the Eagles were deliberately trying to hurt my precious little sports feelings, it might actually look something like this season.
The Birds lost again. By a couple points again. In a game where they had their shots again. In the infuriating manner common to losing NFL teams. Again.
No more pretending that they're close to pulling some big miracle together. There's no miracle. None. Just a middle-of-the-road NFL team that struggles to do any of the things required to consistently beat other NFL teams. We all thought they'd be better, but they're not. They're a six-win team at best. Just like 2005, but without the excuses.

Yup, I actually believe that the Eagles are going to win the Super Bowl this year. And every year. Welcome to my sports feelings. Also this site has been inactive since 2009, but I'm still leaving it here.

As part of its ongoing efforts to protect the rattan plant, the conservation group WWF yesterday launched a comprehensive catalogue of the local species.
In Systematic, Ecology and Management of Rattans in Cambodia, Laos, and Vietnam, the culmination of eight years of research, the WWF and New York Botanical Garden emphasise sustainable production and trade management are necessary for the preservation of the species.
The rattan tree, used mostly for distinctive furniture and baskets, earns Cambodia an estimated $1.5 million annually. But the 65 species known to exist in the Kingdom – including two that grow nowhere else – are threatened by over-harvesting and deforestation.
"Over-harvesting, poor environmental management and a lack of international quality standards is depleting the nation's rattan stocks at an unsustainable rate," Chhith Sam Ath, WWF country director, said at the book's launch yesterday.
Sam Ath added that preserving the rattan species exclusive to Cambodian forests – the Callamus mellitus and Calamus kampucheaensis – is "critical to our country's biodiversity and the future of our rattan industry".
Khou Eng Huort, a senior plant specialist, said that 70 per cent of forest land in Cambodia grows rattan plants.
But Charles Peters, one of the book's authors, said that without prevention measures instituted soon, the resource will drastically shrink.
Since 2006, the WWF and its local NGO partners have been developing sustainable rattan production and commercialisation strategies that are detailed in the book, which will soon be translated into Khmer, Vietnamese and Lao.

It is the epic American journey – rafting 277 miles over eight days via the towering crimson walls of the Grand Canyon, navigating rapids by day and sleeping underneath the celebrities at evening. I know many of you like to put on these journey pants with all of the packets however you look ridiculous in it in the evening. If it's essential to change the ticket date before you depart, it is advisable contact a travel agent or an airline agent, whoever issued your ticket. I'm at present in touch with a journey agent, who's researching fares for me. To date, they seem to be hovering round U.S $1,600, round-journey. Journey Journals are great for the ladies jetsetter in your reward checklist as they are so light. International journey requires a voltage converter/transformer and a power adapter to ensure that any electronics or home equipment may have the right kind of plug and present/voltage for the power sockets within the nation or countries to be visited.
Journey Nook, the popular airplane pillow helps the sides of the top preventing it from nodding forward or shifting backward and forward. Some individuals see travel as not being a necessity, but I feel they might be finding one more excuse to not address the issue. It might take somewhat extra effort and planning to journey with children, but it may be very rewarding in the long run.
I do not want medicine to fly, but the whole air travel expertise had gotten more and more unpleasant through the years. When you have payments which can be all the time the same quantity, comparable to cable tv or web service, health insurance premiums or month-to-month memberships for example, simply send in payment earlier than you permit. It may well undoubtedly be price it to work with professionals who can make your journey easier and extra handy — an necessary factor whenever you're touring with children! There are a number of points that have an effect on how much individuals pay to own and use their journey models. Before you start your travel you must get details about the realm as well as depart your travel plan with someone who can investigate cross-check you if wanted. We visited both Auschwitz I & II. You possibly can entry II via shuttle bus and tour it yourself.
Nepal, as with many different nations and definitely some locations right here within the U.S. are identified for having a choose-pocket here and there, so utilizing a journey belt is at all times a good suggestion, particularly within the cities. However the shoppers of the product have typically been adults who wished for a smaller guitar they might journey with. In October, there is the Spooktacular in Tucson, AZ. A mix or vintage trailers and teardrops, trailers are embellished for Halloween.
And one more characteristic that makes this memory foam travel pillow so particular is that the included water repellent storage bag compacts the pillow right down to 1/4 its size! I can not imagine that there are still so many people who find themselves common fliers who have not started using travel neck pillows. Initially Gare du Nord was in-built 1846 with intention that vacationers would be capable to journey to Belgium, Netherlands, Germany and the Scandinavian countries.

Welcome to Selmont Farm, the new, permanent home of Daufuskie Marsh Tacky Society. This major capital project, established in July 2017, has been made possible by a private partnership with the Selmont Family.
The most significant part of the project is the restoration of the historically significant Simmons House. Pending the new Beaufort County Bailey Bill application as well as additional partnerships with Preservation South Carolina and the Community Foundation of the Lowcountry, once the restoration is complete the home will feature office, retail shop and Marsh Tacky Museum space, plus overnight accommodations for staff, interns and vacation guests.

The following conversation took place on February 25, 2017. The participants were Aram Moshayedi, a curator at the Hammer Museum, Los Angeles, and Sohrab Mohebbi, of similar trade at REDCAT, Los Angeles. Organized by Ruth Estevez, Geomancies, devoted to the Los Angeles–based artist Miljohn Ruperto, forayed into "concepts of possession, opposition and metamorphosis." To this, we can add that there were additional excursions into demonology, exorcism, eroticism, OOO, B-boying, and Suprematism.
Sohrab Mohebbi: When I walk into this exhibition, what stands out is the unexpected shape of the video room. You don't see it at first, but when you walk around it, you realize that it is a long triangle. What do you think of it, Aram? I found this functioned as an exhibition device, and a prelude to Ruperto's film in collaboration with Rini Yun Keagy Ordinal (SW/NE) (2017).
Aram Moshayedi: It is strange. The unfinished exterior resembles something that might otherwise be considered "architectural," and this for me is out of sync with what I expected from the show. This feeling stays with you when you're inside of the video room. It's tight, it's uncomfortable, and I found it hard to breathe inside the space. Did you also have this experience when you were inside watching the video?
SM: Yes, and that claustrophobia takes us to the film. The main character, Josiah, drives the narrative. He believes he has valley fever, and coughs throughout. Valley fever, caused by the soil-dwelling, pathogenic fungus Coccidioides immitis, is a disease of dust, of industrial farming's treatment of the earth, but Ruperto and Keagy take it further, to Assyrian mythology and the figure of Pazuzu, the demon of the southwest wind. This extension suggests that the disease, and its cause—capitalist exploitation—is the contemporary incarnation of the demon. Does that make sense to you?
AM: The use of Pazuzu as a foil is a way of addressing the environmental and political turmoil that takes place specifically in a place like Bakersfield, California, where the film is based. California's Central Valley might be a context where the demonic mythology of Pazuzu and Lamashtu takes root in the form of valley fever. It's not unlike the recent film Under the Shadow (2016), which relates the anxieties in Iran during the Iran–Iraq war to the mythological Jinn, a world of demons—from the Islamic tradition—living alongside us. While the ideas of possession and the spirit world seem to be from a bygone era, there are signs that remind us that they are still among us. This exhibition seems to take on qualities of being possessed, or maybe it's a form of incantation, don't you think?
SM: Yes, and the show is possessed by art history as well. Ruperto and Keagy's protagonist is not possessed by the disease, but rather by a black square that hangs in the top corner of his room and at some point in the film rotates, turns into a circle, and goes right into Josiah's retina. The film teases out a few parallel narratives. One is the disease, one is Suprematism, and perhaps another is how bodies are conditioned by these various forces. The dance scene is probably dealing with the question of how bodies are affected, but also how they can respond and resist: "What is the relationship between choreography and freestyle?" asks the protagonist, while Josiah is busting moves with his buddies in a warehouse. For whatever reason, it reminds me of the scene in Michael Jackson's video "Smooth Criminal" (1987), with the kids dancing outside the bar in the alleyway. The film is wack all the way to eleven, the pigs falling off the cliff, the weird animations of Pazuzu and Lamashtu, the artist's eroticism of the breastfeeding scene of Grapes of Wrath and its full restaging. If anything, this is an art B movie at its best. It's as if The Thing was made for a gallery presentation in the possessed Americana of the Central Valley, with its economic and social depression, its perversion and sickness.
AM: Did you mean wack or wacky?
SM: Yeah.
AM: Either way, yeah. You're probably right. The content and the form of the film merge. It reminds me of what Jean-Pierre Gorin would say in his lectures about the importance of filmmaking having less to do with the story than how the story is told. It would be strange if the work was more refined than it is. Its disjunction performs as a metonym for the tumult of the region. Can we talk more about the main character, Josiah, who is apparently a college student whose partner has valley fever and just had a baby? He is really key in all of this.
SM: To start with, he is very attractive and has a compelling presence, but what makes the film is his lack of competence and how he performs it. His confidence is undercut by his constant coughing, which makes him a vulnerable character. In his mind he is the mascot, but on the dance floor he stumbles, in the classroom he's out to lunch, and he is sort of failing in his relationship. He is possessed but he doesn't know by what. It might be the disease, the dust of capital, Pazuzu, Suprematism, or perhaps a combination of all these demons. The film suggests, just like Kazimir Malevich did, that airplanes are grains of dust circling the planet; it just depends on your point of view and your scale.
AM: Care to elaborate?
SM: At some point Ruperto talked about his interest in Iain Hamilton Grant's lecture "Romanticism and Ontological Suprematism," and perhaps while the airplanes are grains of sand, they also are infecting the lungs of the planet. I am just riffing here, but Ruperto's interest in the relationships between ecological time, historical time, and the timekeeping of us mortals is something that we can see in his other projects, such as the Voynich Botanical Studies (2013 – ongoing, a collaboration with Ulrik Heltoft), Mineral Monsters (2014), or his rock pieces. I am curious what you think of that dust-storm piece.
AM: The dust storm is a perfect loop. It becomes an eternal repetition. This is something technically very difficult to achieve. It's a work that is GIF-like, even though it is longer than the typical two to six seconds of most GIFs. Have you ever seen a GIF that was seamless, that slipped in and out of time in this way?
SM: Sadly, I've never seen a GIF quite like that before. [both laugh]
AM: Well, the Otolith Group once gave a talk in Dubai that dealt with the problem of the GIF. They scrolled through a Tumblr site of animated GIFs while reading a text on the inherent present-ness of what I think is an otherwise disposable form. I appreciated their attention to this and their ability to theorize its logic. I'm not saying that Ruperto made a GIF, but certainly the repetition is key, and the cyclical nature of the work heightens the quality of being possessed that I think the exhibition as a whole seems to approximate. The lights pointing at the corner of an empty stage also have this quality. And the lenticular of Pazuzu has an inherent two-frame stutter. It's like we're not supposed to be here. The media player that the dust storm is on appears to be broken, and the space is oriented according to its own internal logic (that is, the ordinals), pointing our attention in directions beyond our control. The exhibition space is possessed. And before we go into an eternal loop of our own and start repeating ourselves as usual, I think it's best that we conclude here.

There's been no sorcery involved in Christopher Bontjes' rise through the ranks of the Society of American Magicians; his journey reads more like the career of a rising politician.
There's been no sorcery involved in Christopher Bontjes' rise through the ranks of the Society of American Magicians; his journey reads more like the career of a rising politician.
The 43-year-old music teacher and Morton native will be inaugurated as president (yes, even magicians operate under a democracy here in the republic) of the society on Thursday. His father, Gary, has also been president of the society.
Consider him the George W. Bush or John Quincy Adams of American magicians.
"It means that I'm going to do a lot of travelling to represent the society. It'll probably mean at least an hour or two of work a day," Bontjes said of his new duties, for which he is not paid.
But it wouldn't be a pseudo-political position without a few handlers hanging around.
"There will be people to pass things off to," he said.
For Bontjes, this latest achievement is just one in a long line of magical milestones. He has previously been president of the Champaign Assembly (magician-speak for their regional groups) after starting out in the Peoria Assembly as a child.
Bontjes' journey in the (not so) dark arts began "at birth if not before," which would make for a pretty good trick if he were working on his performance in the womb.
"My parents were on what they called the ham and bean circuit, performing at meetings and banquets, and I was there with them," Bontjes said. "I found out later on that they did that because it meant they didn't have to hire baby sitters."
Other than typical administrative duties, Bontjes' will be charged with maintaining the society's ethical standards. Yes, magicians have them, and they may be more stringent than the set of morals abided by the men and women in D.C.
"The standards have to do with the idea that... we encourage magicians to respect the creations of other magicians. And because of the way magic works, magicians tend not to patent their inventions because that requires revealing how it works," Bontjes said. "That's just an ethical standard we ask people to adhere to."
Unfortunately, the society doesn't appear to have a rules and ethics committee, so Bontjes will have to maintain those standards under executive order.
Bontjes' mother, Char Gott, became interested in magic when she was a child so her father sought a teacher for her. Char's father found a teacher, whom she would eventually marry. That mystical instructor was Christopher Bontjes' father, Gary.
A magical family was born.
Bontjes' wife, Julie and children John, 15, and Jill, 13, are in on the act now, but a compromise was necessary for Christopher to gain Julie's hand in marriage - and like most good politicians, he was playing with a pretty strong hand.
"She complains often that I wouldn't tell her how any of the tricks were done until after she married me."

I like this image because, intentionally or not, it appears as if Windows is the earthy substrate from which the greenery of the Mac springs forth. The metaphor may not have been deliberate, sure, but even the subconsciousness of that speaks to my argument that we want our computer systems to be like our gardens.

Every now and again we get an affiliate outreach email to our email, usually nothing to shout about, but the one I received last weekend stood out so much that it just shouted out for attention, it was that bad.
It was the ultimate blue print of how not to write an affiliate recruitment email.
Firstly though what did it do right;
- It gave a brief and clear break down of the offer
- It was short.
Yes that's about it, so what did it do wrong;
- Targeting. If you're going to send an email to someone in the hope or expectation that they will be interested in the content, then the first order of business is to ensure that the person you are emailing is actually going to have the slightest interest. No point sending an email about selling Business Coaching, to a company that doesn't have any such content on their site.
- No Reply. Seriously, yes this email was sent from a NoReply@Domain email address. Wow. Better hope that no one has any questions about the program. Why would anyone send a "Outreach" email, that doesn't promote communication!
- "Dear Chris", nope, not even a Dear or Hi, nothing, no attempt to personalize the email in any way, if you want a glimmer of a chance of getting someones attention at least start with their name!
- No Sign up link, so assuming I was stunned into interest by the lack of targeting and zero personal approach, there wasn't even a link to sign up to the program directly. There was a link to the web site, and a link to the network….but no click here to sign up, going to a sign up page. I was starting to get the feeling that this was some kind of endurance test, how many hurdles do I need to jump to sign up.
- Error in URL. Okay, the occasional spelling error, fine we all make those when we're typing faster than we're thinking, but an error in your URL! Unforgivable! www,domain.com is not going to get me anywhere…another hurdle in the way of my desperate attempt to sign up!
- Three times in one day. Yes we all understand the "7 times to get a consumers attention concept" but last I checked it didn't involve sending the same email (with the same issues) three times in one day.
These errors can be nicely summarized and corrected as follows.
Make sure your affiliate recruitment emails;
- are targeted
- promote communication
- are personalized
- have links to more information
- are error free
- are not spammed out multiple times in one day.
It's not hard and there are number of articles and forum discussions around that go into detail about how to put together a good affiliate recruitment email. Here are a few we'd recommend taking a look at ;

Web analytics is basically the study of online behavior. Enterprises pursue such endeavors in order to measure performance. Web analytics measurements are the indicators that represent a website performance. Measurements that enterprises put value on depend on the type of website or products they sell.
The first indicators began with something that measured the number of hits. Then it evolved to measuring page views and visits for logfile analysis. As for page tagging, web counters were used. These web counters were all visible to users at first until it evolved and invisible counters became a possibility. Assigning cookies also came next.
All of these technologies require the use of web analytics software such as Visual Sciences Web Analytics. This major web analytics software company used to be known as WebSideStory. It has not only taken a new name but it has also expanded the capabilities that their web analytics software is capable of.
With the many new hitches in keeping measurements accurate brought about by many new technologies, coming up with a more robust software is imperative. Visual Sciences provides analysis that goes beyond the basic measurements and indicators. It also provides more useful enterprise analysis. For instance, point-of-sale, customer information and interactive response information can be provided by Visual Sciences web analytics software.
What the company is actually doing is giving its software users all necessary measures and more by supplying analysis on other parts of the enterprise. And not only does it provide a report of numbers but a visual analysis is provided as well.

Our ability to self-perform gives us superior control over cost, schedule, quality, and safety. The amount of work we self-perform can range from 5 to 95 percent, depending on the type of construction.
By self-performing work that many of our competitors must subcontract, we eliminate an additional markup, thereby reducing costs for the owner. When a substantial portion of the work is performed by our own forces, we can monitor the schedule more accurately and make labor adjustments more rapidly than we can through secondary contractors. This often accelerates project completion. Also, through self-performance, we have direct control over the quality of workmanship and the safety of the workplace.
Brasfield & Gorrie has the capacity to self-perform in a variety of areas:
- Foundation and related excavation
- Concrete structure
- Light framing and miscellaneous iron
- Rough carpentry, layout, engineering
- Finished carpentry, millwork
- Specialties
- Scheduling, owner/architect coordination
- Quality control
- Final inspection, job closeout
- Process equipment
- Piping
- Instrumentation
- Medical demolition and renovations
- Tenant improvements
- Doors, frames, hardware
- Unistrut framing
- Casework
- Medical equipment installation

It's been awhile since my last blog. I took a break over the winter holidays and then "my guy" pulled out of the presidential race. For the time being at least, it's back to business as usual.
Several weeks ago I received a letter from a boy scout who was working on a project for a citizenship badge. The subject was freedom. He wanted to know my definition. I said the following:
"There are those who never have known freedom and those who were born free but have had their freedom taken away. I am an American and was born free and still have my freedom. I do not have the experience of what it is like to not have freedom."
We all need to be diligent about our freedom.
