What Does Commercial Truck Insurance Cover?
Even for good drivers without having accidents it's almost impossible to find great coverage at really competitive rates.. If you're working in any of people industries, you have to look into one of these policies.. Commercial trucks are trucks used by companies to transport cargo.. This way it is possible to rest without worrying about anything.. Refrigeration breakdown endorsement is a thing you should consider also..
Having the familiarity with choosing insurance involves focusing on how to talk to agents to get the lowest premiums as well as the best policy plans.. First coming from all you have to decide which kind of load your trucks will likely be carrying.. Finally, trailer interchange cover will give you coverage if you have a trailer interchange agreement.. Primary liability is similar to the policies all of us hold as automobile insurance carriers.. In closing commercial truck insurance policies are important if you wish to drive legally..
This article was designed to help you simplify the method while ensuring you're getting great coverage.. It ensures how the cargoes are delivered to the destination punctually.. Before the agent actually prepares a policy he or she will take a lot of things into account.. The list of specific cargo insurance plans could go on for pages and pages-many state laws specify coverage amounts essential for commonly hauled goods including hazardous materials or fuel.. Comprehensive coverage can help protect your truck should you be involved in a major accident or it gets damaged from things like fire, theft or vandalism.
The first basis for this is the size in the vehicle, semi trucks are extremely large.. If something happens towards the cargo, someone is going to be held responsible with no one would like to pay for a truckload of anything.. The premium cost from the truck insurance plans are determined with the age of the drivers, driving experience of the drivers, variety of years the company has been operating, usage of the truck, deductibles, and etc.. Insurance companies offer several rates for individual truckers and firms.. This is a physical damage policy and you'll see it as additional expenses on the part..
Whether you might be using your truck for private use or on the return trip, you have to be sure you still possess the coverage you will need.. Imagine being a police officer and being called to the scene of a car accident only to find that the section of highway is covered in spilled orange juice or milk.. And as required for legal reasons, you possess the basic motor carrier's insurance - this implies that while on the position, you are covered.. This covers damages sustained in your own property, including your truck, in spite of fault in an accident.. It allows drivers to be insured you should definitely covered by employers without needing to purchase his personal full primary liability policy..

{Project Life} Catching Up 2014
Hello there ... I've diligently been trying to catch up my Project Life pages for 2014. I'm averaging two pages every couple of days – a weekly spread – and have been keeping my pages super simple. I've been enjoying looking back over the weeks and months of early 2014. It's kind of a treat to go down memory lane and document our lives. I'm hoping (fingers crossed) I can keep up my current pace and be caught up before too long. We'll see if that really happens!
Here's what I have so far. There are lots and lots of photos ... so I apologize in advance for all the scrolling!
Week 4: I used the Sunshine Edition Core kit for this week.
Week 5: I used the Midnight Edition Core kit for these pages.
Week 6: For these pages, I used the Seafoam Edition Core kit.
Week 7: And for the last set of pages I have to share, I went back to the Sunshine Core kit.

classPak is a PHP class for creating dynamic PAK files for the Quake I and II engines. Get classPak (download, view) and read below to see how to use it.
add_file (realpath, pakpath)
Add the physical file specified by realpath to the pak file as pakpath. Returns TRUE if successful, FALSE otherwise (eg, too long a pakpath). Adding more than one file with the same pakpath will result in undefined behaviour.
add_directory (realpath, pakpath [, match])
A helper function that recurses through the directory realpath and adds every file found to the pak file under pakpath. The optional match parameter is a regular expression specifying the pattern of files to include. If not specified, all files will be included. Returns TRUE on success, FALSE on failure (eg bad dir).
remove_file_by_path (realpath)
Removes the file realpath from the pak file by matching its real path. You cannot remove whole directories using this function.
remove_file_by_pakpath (pakpath)
Removes the file pakpath from the pak file by matching its pak path. You cannot remove whole directories using this function.
generate_pak (optimize)
Generate the pak file. Returns a binary string containing the entire pak file data if successful. If optimize is TRUE, the data will be optimized to remove duplicate file data (see pakoptimz). This may make the pak file smaller at the expense of being incompatible with some pak editors.
save_pak (path, optimize)
A helper function that generates and writes the .pak to path. See above for details about optimize.
Example:add_file ('./data/map1.bsp', 'maps/map1.bsp'); \$packfile->add_directory ('./data/textures/map1', 'textures/map1'); \$pakdata = \$packfile->generate_pak (TRUE); header ('Content-type: application/octet-stream'); header ('Content-disposition: attachment; filename=\"pak9.pak\"'); print \$pakdata; ?>"; highlight_string ($code); ?>

"Let's keep a record of the fool things we have done and criticize ourselves." -Dale Carnegie
All winter, I've kept reading about how sun exposure isn't as dangerous as we've been led to believe. I also tested as mildly deficient in vitamin D. So today, I went to the park for a long walk for a couple of hours. My dog splashed in the water.
When you've been sunburned in Florida in early February, when you've sunburned in 15 minutes in the summer in Colorado Springs, when you have visible blue veins, you should probably ignore expert advice and use sunscreen. D'oh.

Hierro to manage Spain during World Cup
Fernando Hierro will take up the Spain manager job during World Cup 2018 in Russia, Spanish Football Federation announced Wednesday.
Football Federation Chairman Luis Rubiales made the announcement during a press meeting.
"Fernando Hierro will assume the position of national coach in the World Cup of Russia and will appear before the media accompanied by the president of the RFEF, Luis Rubiales," according to an official statement.
"Next, he will direct his first training and on Friday he will debut in Sochi against Portugal," it added.
Rubiales announced Lopetegui's termination during a news conference on Wednesday, after Real Madrid announced Tuesday that Lopetegui will be the club's new manager.
Despite Rubiales' previous announcement that Lopetegui's contract would be terminated after the World Cup, local media reports had suggested the Spanish Football Federation chairman was "angry" about Lopetegui's decision.
In the news conference, Rubiales said he learnt about Lopetegui deal with Real Madrid only minutes before it was announced.
"I found out five minutes before the official statement came out, I asked nothing to be done, because the news caught me in Moscow.
"The RFEF can not be excluded from a negotiation of one of its workers," Rubiales said.
Earlier, Real Madrid said in a statement: "Real Madrid C. F. announce that Julen Lopetegui will be the coach of the first team during the next three seasons. Julen Lopetegui will join the club after Spain's participation in the World Cup, after two years leading the national team."

What Is a Buildable Waterfront Lot?
A potential building site may or may not be properly classified as a buildable lot. Each state, county and city has its own definition of the term. For many, a buildable site is one in which every level of government has granted permission for construction to begin. Permissible building is not always cost effective building. Real estate agents may describe a piece of land as buildable without knowledge of the feasibility of infrastructure placement.
Proper Definition of a Buildable Lot
A buildable lot is a piece of land on which construction is cost effective and feasible. All feasibility studies have been completed, all utilities are available and all municipal, county and state permits have been granted. To discern whether or not a lot is buildable, you must complete an extensive research process. Government employees will not do the research work. This is up to the landowner. Questions must be asked and answered several times, and the answers provided in writing whenever possible.
Beginning the Research Process
Inquire at the office of the county land assessor regarding the legal status of the property. After informing this official about the location of the property, his office will provide you with a map of the property along with the land's legal description. Any easements should be duly recorded on the site map provided. Is the site zoned for what will be built there? What would be required to change the zoning? A reliable builder/contractor should be able to advise you if there are any issues that would inhibit the building process, such as a flood plain location, steep gradation or land containing too many trees.
Legal Considerations
Enlist a title company or real estate lawyer to search for any pre-existing liens against the property or for any reasons the site may not be accessible geographically or legally. Building materials may have to cross a neighboring property and permission must be given by the neighbor to cross her land.
Next Steps
The city and/or county planning departments must be consulted to determine what will be needed to make the site buildable. Will the site require a septic system or can the structure be connected into the public sewer system? Design applications may need to be acquired and completed before a septic system can be approved. How much will it cost to bring electrical power, potable water and telephone service to the site? Are cable television or gas lines available?
Environmental Concerns
The property may contain wetlands or waterlands that may require environmental assessment before building may legally proceed. There may also be issues related to storm water control or geotechnical considerations that must be addressed. Many subdivisions have neighborhood building restrictions on design and the materials that may be used. If there are any covenants, conditions or restrictions with which you do not wish to adhere, consider the site not buildable.
The Bottom Line
If all your questions and concerns have been satisfactorily addressed, you may consider the lot buildable and proceed with the purchase of the land. A purchase made without research may prove to be exceedingly troublesome, annoying and costly.
Remodel or Replace Your Beach House: Fort Myers Beach – 50% Rule & Substantial Improvements
The Town of Fort Myers Beach has written guidelines relating to improvements on existing structures with respect to limits which determine whether or not a structure must be raised to meet base flood elevations. The general discussion revolves around the definition of Substantial Improvement or the "50% Rule."
This set of restrictions addresses the concerns of owners considering making improvements to existing structures or making repairs in the event of a weather incident in which structural damages occur. Simply stated, the 50 % rule is a regulation of the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) stating that structures that have a lowest living floor, which does not meet or exceed the Base Flood Elevation (BFE) as identified on the current Flood Insurance Rate Map may not be substantially improved. BFE within the Town of Fort Myers Beach ranges between 13–17 feet depending on the property's location.
Fort Myers Beach 50 % Rule – Making Substantial Improvements To Your Property
Substantial Improvement is defined as any reconstruction, rehabilitation, addition, or other improvement to a structure in which the cost equals or exceeds 50 % of the market value of the structure, prior to construction of the improvement, over a five year period. This includes structures that have incurred " Substantial Damage " or " Repetitive Loss " regardless of work performed. If a project meets the definition of " Substantial Improvement " or " Substantial Damage " it is considered new construction and the entire building must be elevated to or above the Base Flood Elevation.
Additional issues addressed in the Town of Fort Myers Beach whitepaper are summarized as follows:
1. Why is it important to know if an improvement is substantial ?
2. What types of structures must comply?
3. Will permits be issued for a " Substantial Improvement " ?
4. What is Market Value ?
5. Can replacement cost be substituted for market value ?
6. Which projects are exempted from the 50 % rule ?
7 Do maintenance projects count ?
8. Can I enclose the area under my home and make it habitable ?
9. Is Substantial Improvement cumulative ?
10. How is the value of an improvement determined ?
11. Is the cost of an improvement reduced by owner labor or materials donation ?
12. Are there any items excluded from the cost of improvement ?
13. How do I determine the BFE of my property ?
14. What are the flood zones within The town of Fort Myers Beach ?
15. How do I determine the lowest elevation floor of my home ?
16. Is flood insurance required ?
17. Why should owners be penalized for upgrading a structure ?
18. What if The Town of Fort Myers Beach did not participate in the NFIP ?

New flood elevations set by FEMA require many houses built in coastal areas to be raised between 2' and 14' or more above grade, depending on local topography and risk exposure. Local homeowners who build houses on elevated foundations should choose a system that resists wind uplift and lateral forces, is easily constructed, and allows water to pass beneath the finished house. Depending on the required flood elevation, several systems may be appropriate. This comprehensive guide to the options will help you make the best decision as to which is right for your new home.

As Nick said in his first Behind the Wheel post,
"A car is more than top speed, acceleration and looks. It is a hub of life experiences, culture and personality."
I've owned my 2015 WRX STI for nearly two years now. I've learned a lot about myself from driving that car. A big part of the experience comes from the Chitown Subarus community. I'm an analyst by nature and by vocation. I overthink everything. Soon after I bought the car, I showed up to a meet and started asking a lot of questions. Many of them revolved around what modifications I could make without "voiding the warranty". So many questions that the nickname stuck around.
The answer, if you're curious, is both "a lot" and "a little". The uncertainty makes me twitch.
My intentions were good. I wanted to build the car to last forever. It was my dream car, after all. If I could just hit on the winning combination of aftermarket parts, I could finally relax and enjoy the car - doing donuts! Big launches! Sliding through corners! I'd drive it like a rally car, bro! Only...that's not how cars work, and that's not what happened.
I didn't know how to drive a manual when I took delivery of the vehicle. I had a three hour lesson a few weeks before, but I had largely forgotten it. A friend drove behind me as I limped and jerked the car home, 36 miles from the dealer. I stalled the car ten times that day, and discovered a flat tire the following morning. I was not the Batman, but I sure felt cool.
Soon after the break-in period ended I drove to another state to visit family. My cousin and I went out playing Ingress (by car) one night. As we were chatting and merging onto the highway, I gave the car full throttle for the first time. He stopped talking mid sentence. For a brief moment I was the Batman, and I sure felt cool.
Fast forward through many months of driving to work (boring), weekly meets (fun), and a whole lot of asking questions: I found myself running late to my first track day! I almost didn't go. The car had less than 4,000 miles on it, and I was nervous about committing my first warranty-voiding cardinal sin. The event was put on by the dealer that sold me the car. I thought this was surely entrapment, so I decided to take the risk. I called a friend and made up time on the highway. The WRX STI is an excellent car for going places in a hurry. The track day ended up being a blast. The car was meant to be driven fast. The three differentials in the WRX STI make for a unique situation: you can round a corner faster if you're on-throttle. Typically if a car isn't cornering enough, you slow down to make the turn. In the WRX STI, you succeed by accelerating through the corner. It's thrilling, but the commitment required is daunting.
I'd like to say I drove the car like I did in my dreams, but I didn't. I drove it to work some more (boring) and sometimes with friends on the highway, cruising home from CTS meets. There were some minor sins committed along the way. On one such occasion I decided to pass a friend and make my exit in style. I downshifted and sped away, but felt a little pop. It was so small I may have imagined it. I exited the highway, parked in my garage, and smiled. I sure felt cool.
The next morning, I turned on the car to see a puff of blue smoke in my rearview mirror. The odometer read 16,000 miles. My mind started racing.
There are no motor failures in your dreams.

The Online Protection and Enforcement of Digital Trade (OPEN) Act is a bipartisan bill released by senators and representatives into both chambers of Congress, introduced in the United States Senate on January 18th.[1]
Its focus is to stop the transfer of money to foreign websites whose primary purpose is piracy or counterfeiting. OPEN would utilize the United States International Trade Commission (ITC), which already adjudicates patent disputes, to enforce this law.[2]
Proponents of the bill include tech and Internet companies like Google, eBay, Yahoo, Facebook, Twitter, Mozilla LinkedIn, Wikia, and Reddit,[3] who believe it would be effective at combating online piracy without significantly hurting legitimate websites or Internet businesses, and without changing the fundamental architecture of the Internet. The tech industry has actively taken a part in marking up OPEN.
Many people still feel the bill has problems, but unlike SOPA and PIPA, that it is still worth debating the bill in order to find a workable solution that allows for targeting piracy, while not harming legitimate business.[4]
Supporters in the House:
- Spencer Bachus (R-AL)
- John Campbell (R-CA)
- Jason Chaffetz (R-UT)
- Peter DeFazio (D-OR)

Most media corporations, Hollywood, and the music industry have been reported as not being in support of the ideas and provisions of the OPEN Act. In particular, the RIAA has criticized the bill, stating that it would do nothing to stop piracy, and urging Congress to scrap the bill.

If you're lucky enough to have a MobileMe account, you can keep all your files, whether they're on your mobile device or on your Mac, perfectly in sync. We're not all ready to pay up $99 a year though, especially considering the hiccups MobileMe went through recently.
So what are the best ways to easily sync files on your Mac? Unfortunately Apple has never truly released an application to help you keep files up to date easily and quickly. We'll have to turn our eyes to third party developers then. I've found three programs that allow you to easily sync files and make sure you are looking at the most recent piece of information anytime on your Mac.
First up is Picnic. The application is fitted with an attractive rounded interface and simple settings. Using Bonjour, the program ensures that files on one or more Macs are kept in sync. You can subscribe to users on your network, so that Picnic automatically takes care of syncing files that have been modified.
Other more experienced users will probably want to turn to the versatile Cyberduck client. An extremely powerful and intuitive application, Cyberduck allows you to browse FTP, SFTP, WEBDAV and Amazon S3 servers. Find the file to sync with, open the File menu and select 'Synchronize'. Then select the file to sync and let Cyberduck do the hard work. You don't even need any advanced knowledge of Cyberduck.
Third up is ChronoSync. Specifically built for file and folder synchronizations and backups, it's probably the most effective application of the three. Just select the file or group of files to sync, choose a destination and decide on a specific action. ChronoSync works very well with large batches of files, will analyze files for specific changes and provides detailed logs and data verification.

Description from Author:
Shunned and ridiculed all her life for something she can't control, Samantha Blair hides her psychic abilities and lives on the fringes of society. Against her will, however, she's tapped into a killer—or rather, his victims. Each woman's murder, blow-by-blow, ravages her mind until their death releases her back to her body. Sam knows she must go to the authorities, but will the rugged, no-nonsense detective in charge of tracking down the killer believe her?
Detective Brandt Sutherland only trusts hard evidence, yet Sam's visions offer clues he needs to catch a killer. The more he learns about her incredible abilities, however, the clearer it becomes that Sam's visions have put her in the killer's line of fire. Now Brandt must save her from something he cannot see or understand…and risk losing his heart in the process.
As danger and desire collide, passion raises the stakes in a game Sam and Brandt don't dare lose.
My Review:
This book was also offered free on Amazon. I am not sure if I just hit a treasure trove of books, or if Amazon was being super cool and giving away a lot of freebies, either way.. needless to say.. I was a happy camper. I read the author's description and knew this was going to be my next book to read, regardless of my "Review Schedule."
This book is part one of a series called, "Psychic Vision" novels. Man o' Man! I want to look into the other books as well. Dale Mayer is a standout author. I have to say, she definitely made a fan out of me. I love her writing style with twists and turns. She created a very twisted story that burns into your mind of the possibilities.
This is not a traditional unbelieving cop with a chip on his shoulder story. Detective Brandt believes, and for Sam, it is hard to believe someone has her back. Brandt is an edgy detective who believes in all possibilities outside of "good old traditional hard detective work."
Sam, a frail but not weak, psychic is plagued with visions that literally leave her brutally beaten, bloody and broken. Similar to stigmata, Sam experiences everything the murder victim goes through prior to death. She's tapped into a serial killer but through the eyes of his victims.
I could not get enough of this book. It has just the right recipe for romance, paranormal, and serial killing. GET THIS BOOK NOW… while it is still free on Amazon!!

So what's really in the name, you might ask, that makes Realization & Discovery the
new Learning & Development.
Let's first understand are they different and if so, what makes them different in the
first place.
Can you think of a time when you learnt something new?
I can. My first time at a wine tasting event helped me to contrast better between dry
and wet wines; between fruity and sweet wines, etc etc. So how did that help me?
Sure it made me appreciate wine a bit more than otherwise and I was incrementally
(and initially) more knowledgeable about wines in the process. But I would term
that learning as a passive experience since it was not an event that I attended to
learn about wine tasting. It was part of our intern associates event and I figured it
would help me to network with colleagues in the organization.
Now, can you think of a time when you had a Realization or a Discovery?
This one's a bit harder to wrap your head around (possibly). Still, I got one in mind
and it's related to alcohol so that we can draw an "apples to apples" comparison.
I was recently at a dinner with some friends at a newly opened bar in Bombay; only
this bar specialized (and had a reputation) in Rum based cocktails. Now I wouldn't
classify myself as a Rum person (and for that matter anything more than a social
drinker). But somehow, the cocktails at this place had a certain punch that made me
realize my liking for Rum as a base for cocktails. So how did that help me?
Well, trying out the cocktails triggered me to want to learn more about Rum and
how to make good cocktails at home. And so began my journey of understanding
Rum – the etymology, the classifications, different names or variations of rum,
premium Rum and yes, the recipe for some of the world's most well known Rum
based cocktails.
Let's pause and contrast for a second.
Now you might turn around and say maybe I also had a realization that I wasn't
that much into Wines as I was into Rum. True, so I did have a realization even at the
Wine tasting event. But considering the realization with Rum cocktails triggered me
to act, I would term it as an Active learning experience. Maybe the momentum in
me to want to learn about Rum would die out and not make me a Rum connoisseur;
but even then, I would have been proactive in seeking out information and be more
open (and keen) to learn about Rum as a result of this realization.
So in contrast, at the Wine event, I learnt something about Wines, but then I
honestly forgot. Why, well because I realized I just wasn't that much into knowing
about Wines.
But at a bar, where you might think I would remember the experience based on the
conversations I had with friends, I actually Realized a previously 'hidden' aspect
about me – my interest in Rum based cocktails. This realization triggered a journey
to learn about Rum which although limited, I have a far deeper recollection of than
the Wine tasting experience.
So coming back to the original point, I would term Realization & Discovery as a
trigger to a more active learning process. Learning & Development on the other
hand, appears more passive – based on what you are receiving, but not 'actively'
looking out for. To reverse that thought, you cannot 'actively' look out for a
learning experience until you know why you specifically want to know something.
Realization & Discovery addresses that 'Why'.
Hence, R&D can provide meaning to your Learning and Development. In the
workplace, R&D can add more meaning to your role and in your interaction with
your colleagues, with your customers.
Your instances of Realization & Discovery (and believe us when we say they are
many) are what would trigger the most powerful learning experiences for you.
Learning & Development without R&D is nothing more than a glorified training
workshop without any personal meaning for you as to why you should attend it.
So can you think of a recent Realization & Discovery at the workplace?
Believe it or not, while there was much thinking and deliberation involved in
naming this application, the decision to go with Supernova was a bit arbitrary. But
once taken, it was amazing to "Discover" how many meanings and connections
Supernova had at so many different levels.
Lets look at the original definition of Supernova – a giant explosion caused at the
end of a star's life. For astronomers, there's possibly no greater source of inspiration
and awe than to capture this phenomenon across distant galaxies in the universe.
Quite a discovery!
• Supernova is to do with the Universe. For most people, the Universe is a
topic of intrigue and the more we know, the more questions we have. It
perpetuates a continual need or feeling to learn and grow…to Realize &
• Supernova is inspirational. We believe so should be a person's journey of
learning in the workplace on an ongoing basis.
• Supernova is a rare occurrence. Somehow, we rarely capture our learning at
the workplace as well as it is not often observed, noticed or felt. However, the
use of Supernova is to make people take notice of and realize what they have
learnt and how they applied it in the workplace more often than they would
without Supernova. So while the astronomical Supernova is similar to the
workplace Supernova in that both are inspirational and awesome, Supernova
in the workplace is more frequent and now more noticeable and apparent.
• We believe that high performance is sustained only when there is a
meaningful purpose associated with your work, with your role. Through
Supernova, we are adding more meaning for employees by helping them to
draw a parallel in their roles against something that is Inspirational and yet
potentially more frequent than we may take notice of.
• And finally, we noticed users often cite the word 'use' or 'using' before
mentioning Supernova. Hence, 'Use' became the most apparent and
appropriate action verb to associate with Supernova – in discussions as well
as for the domain name.
So there you have it! Just a few reasons why Supernova is "Super-appropriate" for
what we are trying to achieve!
Can you think of any other reasons or perspectives? We'd love to get your ideas as
well so please contribute!
In this 2 part series, we explore why employees ought to expand their
perspectives and how learning can cease if they do not do so. Part 1 covers the
business aspect of expanding your knowledge while Part 2 focuses on people
management and relations.
The other day I was talking to a friend of mine who was sounding rather despondent over
the phone. He shared, "I'm not seeing much growth in the organization nowadays." That
got me a bit perplexed. The person was part of a high growth business unit of a large, well
established and well respected multinational organization in the healthcare industry.
[He'd get direct visibility from the Country Managing Director during marketing
events, recognition from customers in front of his boss, respect from peers, access
to global projects where his inputs would impact strategic decisions for the business
related to marketing, positioning and the like.
Then why the feeling of "not much growth?" Well, he said, there's just more of the
same now happening for me after three years of being in the organization.
I was completely lost now. Three years is a good time to know the ropes and start
to get noticed by people who matter in a multi billion-dollar organization. Despite
spending a good amount of time to be in an organization, I would argue that growth,
for such a person couldn't stop or plateau. ]
I probed further, curious to know what was beyond the obvious. He gave examples that
equated growth with learning. So apart from the growth in salary, the recognition and the
role, his learning was not continuing; he was not learning new things.
Imagine the Company's horror if they were to know such thoughts came from a high
performer! Much has been written by experts on ways and means in which to engage and
motivate employees.
But how can we ensure employees continue to learn something new? How do we define
what 'new' means and how often should we be learning something 'new'? How can we
realize the possibilities of doing something better, even if it is already going well? For
example, how do you make a high performing sales executive reach a higher target, when he
is already overachieving his previous targets?
Part of the solution, to realize an improvement or to learn something new, can lie in active
discussions with various stakeholders across departments to get an understanding that
covers the length and breadth of the organization.
Another can be to understand perspectives of colleagues about you as a person, as well as
to their roles in the company. Eg For a sales executive, achieving and over achieving sales
targets are clear goals. But what impact can over achieving targets have on supply chain?
Does it merit an understanding of the goals and challenges of people in procurement or
customer service, as well ?
Oftentimes, people operate (and hence learn) in silos. Its possible to be a high performer,
yet only operate in close proximity to my supervisor. If you have a team, then possibly
you can include them, but rarely does this collaboration extend beyond your function or
How else do you justify a 3 year old stating he is not learning something new in a 122-yearold company?
It's time we broaden or expand our Horizon.
9 Steps to Effectively Link Learning with Business
We all have attended multiple training programs, seminars and conferences. At
some point, we would have come across an eLearning program as well. How many
connections or links can we draw between these programs or courses, and our
goals? Did they help us achieve the goals or overcome a major obstacle that would
have prevented us from reaching this goal?
At best, we would have anecdotal answers and at worst, no clue! Ron Ashkenas, in
his Harvard Business Review blog, Translate Training into Results, mentions that
starting with the end in mind ensures you have a clear implementation plan of how
to apply your learning once you get back to work.
Yes, that does effectively define the starting point of what training is required and
how it will help. To insist that participants execute the implementation plans is also
helpful but does that translate into execution?
Typically, any business-originated training program should have at least a 3-month
timeline, if not more. We can also argue that besides a start, why is an end date
required? Learning should be perceived as a continuous process and not a startstop or start-apply-stop event. For three months (and counting), to execute an
implementation plan would also require an alignment with the supervisor – his or
her sponsorship and continuous feedback , else he or she may pull the participant
away from the plan and towards some other business exigency.
Secondly, it's important for the participant to immediately articulate how he or she
applied his/her learning on the job. Doing so repeatedly does two things:
It re-establishes the importance of what the participant learnt and aids in
reapplication (not just retention)
It also forces the participant to think about the linkage of this application with the
If I'm in Customer Service, then I must display empathy – internally and to the end
customer. If I consciously capture my application of empathy – such as listening and
paraphrasing what the customer said – I would also understand its impact on the
customer, eventually if not immediately.
Learning something new and application of learning are two sides of the same coin,
yet they are extremely fleeting instances. A single statement in a conversation with
a stakeholder can be highly influential so my ability to capture that statement will
help me to understand its impact and re-apply in some other context as well.
For an executive in Customer Service to capture such contextual application
repeatedly will help him or her draw multiple links between learning and business
impact. 1 or 2 links may be anecdotal and hence subject to individual interpretation.
But multiple links not only suggest patterns, they increase the probability of
someone actually endorsing the link based on observation.
Hence, we believe to deliver Business Results & Improve Learning Outcomes,
participants must
ß start with the end in mind
ß state clearly what learning they intend to improve and what is the required
business impact
ß not limit the timeline post a training program since application of learning can
broaden their perspective
ß align with the supervisor to ensure continued support
ß capture every instance of application
ß actively engage the supervisor to share perspectives on their application – what
is going well, what can be better
ß get the supervisor (and others) to endorse the application and improvement of
ß link each application of learning with an action plan
ß describe how the application enabled the progress (and completion) of the
action plan
Sounds like a lot! It is if the implementation plans are not business specific. If they
are, then its "Business As Usual…but with Extraordinary Results!"

In Chichester & Portsmouth this weekend - Pub, club, bar & restaurant recommendations please
probably end up in Albert Road area of Porstmouth if we go there.
staying in Pagham so will prob take in Chichester & Portsmouth for night time eating out and drinking.
what ye got?
I bought a camping chair in the Robert Dyas in Chichester in August.
Would not recommend.
I went to The Wave Maiden in Southsea the other week
Was good. Laid back/cosy interior, large beer selection (small wine selection, although what they did have was apparently quite good according to those in our party who drank it) and slightly different menu (I had beer fondue). Would recommend for either eating, drinking or both.
Belle Isle for beer and pub food, George and Dragon for expensive pub food and drinks, El castizo for tapas. Nothing else as it's shit for nightlife.
Albert Road in pompey, wine vaults/beer vaults for ale, leopold tavern for beer, lots of cheap, byob Indians. Around Albert Road, meat and barrel for burgers and beer belle Isle and wave maiden for beer (Osborne Rd), hole in the wall for beer (great Southsea Street). Tons of restaurants so not gonna name them.
BYOB eh?
sure I went to an Indian restaurant on Albert Rd a few years back but it wasn't BYOB, or at least they were serving booze so I imagine not.
in portsmouth you have the choice of student bars
or grim pubs full of racists and homophobes. i mostly hung out in the former, i remember the honest politician being the best of the bunch
Definitely not the case in southsea anymore
really great place to go out, great ale pubs. Agree a few years ago I was shit, but the area has now changed and its a great place to explore is Southsea.
*it was shit
i cannot deny or confirm if I was shit a few years ago

By: Lauren Kremer, Dietetic Intern
This summer is shaping up to be a HOT one! Drinking enough water and healthy liquids is critical to keep from becoming dehydrated, for people of all ages. We need roughly eight 8-ounce cups per day to keep hydrated. With this in mind, I set out to create a nutrition education session for communities served by two Lenox Hill Neighborhood House programs: CARE, an arts-based social day program for older adults living with Alzheimer's Disease and other forms of dementia, and Casa Mutua, which provides permanent housing and support services for 54 formerly homeless individuals with a history of mental illness.
Working with each group, we tasted fruits and vegetables high in water content, such as cucumber, celery and green peppers. We talked about which foods seemed to contain the greatest amount of water and which we enjoyed the most. Including these types of foods in your diet will help you to remain hydrated this summer.
Here are some tips for Teaching Kitchen participants to help your clients stay hydrated during the summer:
1. Always have water available, so they are in the habit of drinking.
2. Serve hydrating fruit and vegetables such as watermelon, cucumbers, citrus fruits,
applesauce or yogurt – these food carry fluids and can help keep you hydrated.
3. Provide flavored waters (see below).
4. Post a sign with a reminder to drink water.
5. Post a notice about signs of dehydration to be aware of: dizziness, weak pulse, little or no urination, cold hands and feet, or low blood pressure.
Below is one of my favorite recipes, which I shared with clients: all citrus flavored water. If not liking the taste of water or boredom with it prevents clients from drinking it, adding fruit is an easy way to increase water consumption without adding sugar. Avoid drinking juices or sweetened beverages.
All Citrus Flavored Water
1. Wash 1 orange, 1 lime and 1 lemon.
2. Slice fruit into rounds, then cut the rounds in half.
3. Add to jar, press and twist with a muddler or the handle of a wooden spoon.
4. Press enough to release some of the juices, but don't pulverize the fruit.
5. Fill the jar with ice.
6. Pour in water to the top.
7. Stir it with the handle of a wooden spoon or a chopstick.
8. Put a lid on it, put it in the fridge, and chill.

Milu Hotel
A refreshing change from the more traditional hotels in Florence, design-led Milu offers a young, dynamic vibe, an eclectic contemporary art collection and a fabulous location.
- Nicky Swallow, Destination expert
Brilliant if central is what you are after. Pedestrianised Via Tornabuoni is just far enough removed from the main Duomo-Signoria-Accademia drag and its attendant jostling crowds, and yet it lies within a five-to-10 minute walk of many of the major sights. Palazzo Strozzi with its interesting programme of temporary exhibitions is practically next door and designer boutiques galore are on the doorstep. There are lots of eating and drinking options close by, especially across the river in the Boho-chic Oltrarno neighbourhood.
Style & character
Style hounds will lap up the sleek, clean lines and contemporary aesthetic of this design-led hotel, spread over five floors of two 15th-century aristocratic palazzi giving an interesting juxtaposition of old and new. Italian design pieces from the likes of Morotti, Moroso and MDF Italia, splashes of colour and touches of humour save things from being too antiseptic. Israeli owner Carmen Ilan is an established artist; her own intriguing pieces hang in the soaring stairwell, corridors and public spaces along with an evolving and rotating collection of other works, all of which are on sale.
Service & facilities
While the reception desk is on street level, public spaces are at the top of the building. A sunny 'library', stocked with arty tomes, wraps around the stairwell which is now occupied by the glass lift shaft. The bar area (where breakfast is laid out) leads out onto a very pleasant terrace which will eventually be glassed in for cooler days. The smiley, enthusiastic young staff (all, including the manager, under 30) will arrange tours of Florence and much further afield; the answer to any request will be 'yes'. A programme of lectures on Florentine art and culture for guests is on the cards and the concierge is full of restaurant and shopping suggestions.
- Wi-Fi
- Bar
The minimalism is at its most pared-back in the 22 predominantly white bedrooms; some will love it, others less so. Blonde hardwood floors warm things up a bit and a play on colour (bed heads, Perspex shower doors, even drinking glasses are co-ordinated) adds a bit of fun. Compact standard rooms are furnished with little aside from (extremely comfortable) beds; larger rooms have the addition of the odd carefully-chosen original design piece. Three rooms on the fifth floor have private terraces overlooking neighbouring rooftops. All rooms come with espresso machines, complimentary minibars (beer, soft drinks, water and snacks) and super-contemporary bathrooms, some of which are pretty small. Complaints? A miserly supply of bath products and cheap plastic coat hangers in the wardrobes.
Food & drink
A generous breakfast buffet is laid out on a round table and includes French toast, fresh tomato and cucumber salad with tahini sauce (an Israeli speciality), fresh local cheeses and good, fresh bread and pastries. Omelettes (cheese, ham, tomato) are made to order. Coffee and tea are available for guests all day.
Value for money
Classic doubles range from €170 (£146) in low season; and from €320 (£276) in high. Breakfast included. Free Wi-Fi.
Access for guests with disabilities?
Two fully accessible rooms and the lift is wheelchair accessible. There is access to the breakfast room; staff can help with the few steps to the terrace.
There are two rooms big enough for a family of four and one for three. Cots can be added to larger doubles free of charge.

The brisket was delectable and the iced Tecate like gold dust at a jam-packed reception marking the six-week showcase of the mighty talents of Marfa at the Heath flagship in Los Angeles.
Heath's shindigs are always a great gathering of friends new and old. The Saturday night bash didn't disappoint. In fact, it probably outdid previous parties thanks to a super-savory barbecue—on a king-sized kit towed all the way from Texas, no less—with chefs Larry McGuire and Lou Lambert, as well as a jam session with David Garza and Amy Cook along with L.A. pal John C. Riley. What a gorgeous combination for the senses!
(I will try to post my three-minute vid of the jam a.s.a.p.)
Products for sale through early May are a distinctive collection of home goods, from colorfully striped blanket pillows by Constance Holt; graceful wood tables and stools by Pat Keesey, and cool posters by a dude who calls himself El Cosmico. Besides all of those pieces, Andy and I (and by default, Nina) are also lusting after the gorgeous leather chairs by Jamey Garza, who organized the Marfa amigos for the L.A. installation.

Sorry I haven't been here much, house had a lightning strike and Ive been picking up the pieces here. I feel this is needed as there are the same posts being written time after time, and if this is up we have a reference to send the same new comm questions too. Guys if you have any constructive input, sections of the craft you have more knowledge in etc, jump in. Id really like to keep the BS out of this thread so its a good reference for new guys. First, why HAM? Its just a bunch of old guys playing with radios, right? WRONG. HAM is what ALL the emergency services in this country use as a backup during emergencies. Because the normal radio system most municipalities use is dependant on the grid to power the repeaters, they all go down at once when there is no grid power. So, the volunteer EMCOMM operators come in with thier equipment and before you know it, the fire and po po have comms again. OK, I know the next question, what does that have to do with me? Easy. If you were in the military and ever wanted to know the scoop about whats going on, there were 2 people you asked. The first was the CO's driver, who was hit and miss. The second and more reliable was the commo guy in the back of the CP, who knew more than god about everything. And in the civilian side that guy in the CP is a local ARES/RACES volunteer with his portable radios set up and operating. And if you are a local HAM with a call sign, you can switch on and dial in, to get real time information about everything going on in your area. First hand, right now, just by listening. So what do I do? Is it hard? What about Morse code, Ive heard that is hard? What you do? Another easy question to answer. Buy these 3 books, and nothing else. Ham Radio for Dummies ARRL Tech Class License Manual ARRL General Class License Manual A lot from here on in this thread wont make much sense until you at least browse the books and learn what terms are and how they apply. So get the books, its a max $50 total for a pile of info YOU need. Google is great, but is too random for beginning information. It will confuse and frustrate you so take the advice if you are new and start here. You will thank me. Buy nothing else, you will have wasted your money. Get licensed, as you are going through the books you will learn a lot. And you will learn a lot about what you dont need or want but is good to know. It isnt hard, Tech can be done in a day, and using the QRZ practice exams online, General isnt bad either. Its takes effort. Morse?, no longer required for any license in the US. What do I need to buy? After you get your Tech licence, which is most basic, a good tri band or quad band HT is a start. I like Yeasu, theVX8 is my favorite. Get the extra battery pack so you can run AA batteries, a 12 volt power cord and mobile mag mount antena. A hand mic for this is handy as well. Get all from the same maker so it all fits. Make life easy for yourself. General Class- you will need this licence to transmit with HF voice also called HF Phone. Get it, its not hard either. ARRL Antenna Book Everything you need to know about antennas for survival use is right here. Its also fun to read. Keep this basic and easy. You can build all of the antennas you need, keep them hidden, and ready for thier call to arms when everything goes to crap. A HUGE missconception is you need a 100 ft tower and a helicopter catcher antenna rig to make this all work. WRONG again. I use a roll of electric fence wire and talk to flagstaff az from my back yard, and Uraguay in south America. You have a chain link fence? With an antenna tuner, you now have an antenna. If its metal, chances are you can run a current through it and transmit. The roof gutters on my house are a great 20M band ant, and tune up nicely. Bet you already have gutters dont you? Like to tinker with things and do secret squirrel stuff? HAM is a great hobby for that. Disguise anttenas in flagpoles, trees, fences etc. Direction find your local PD and practice DF for real in the shtf scenario. The best sources of info for our uses concerning HAM radio is the EMCOMM (Emergency Communications) web pages a buch of HAMs post. Use your head and think about what they are doing and how well its fits into what we want for comms plans. Since we will need information when emergencies arise, having the same capabilities to communicate and recieve in our own comms plan means we get all the raw intel, instead of what the powers that be want us to know. Ham radio is a huge hobby, and there is so much to cover. But its not the end all. Every comms plan should have layers. You need to be able to at least listen to all the most common radio freqs. These include the new semi truthful frequency hopping radios everyone is so enamored with. Reality check here guys. They arent secure. Neither are FRS/GMRS/CB radios. A good selection of gear for a total comms plan would include; 40 channel SSB CB radio Digital trunking scanner- get the programming cables and freq guide for your area. The 900mhz band is where the freq hopping radios live. You can listen to them just fine if you lock your scanner to just the 900 band. The optimum would be 3 scanners, one on the 900 band, one on the local ES/Gov channels band and one running in an open scan mode. A tri or Quad band HT with accessories for each team member- program these for local repeaters , might as well use them as long as they have power. Many have aux power capability i.e solar, battery, wind etc. They will work a long time. A Marine band radio- these are popular for use other than intended, and good to monitor. A Base radio, with multi band capabilities, including all HF bands and power supply, with back ups. Also an antena tuner, and diopoles cut for different bands. Vehicle mounted radios compatible with base and HT will also be a good idea, but the HT will function as mobiles with the right power cords. Antennas for everything. There are 2 kinds of radio owners. The first are the ones who buy amps and over power everything. They are easy to find too, btw The second learn to build antennas. Concentrate on learning antennas and you will never have comm problems. Being able to monitor what is happening around you is paramount to being prepared. If you dont know what is happening you might as well have blindfolds on, because an active listening station is just like having one of your own inside the bad guys camp.

It is, of course, my favorite design of the moment. It makes me think of a Victorian corset, but also of birds dancing together, like the very endangered hooded grebe. But it also really looks like the beak / head of an owl. I might well bead an owl using it one day. But despite the fact that I have a lot of birds, I called it Open Heart (there will be more "Wings" in the future, wink).
Here is a little video showing the chain a little bit better:
I've been very busy designing, drawing, photographing, and beading (and a lot of starting over) for this tutorial, not counting the study on Dimensional Cellini technique itself, for which I will soon publish a paper.
I have also been beading a lot on three pieces within the framework of International Beading Week! I made (and sent) a beaded bead, "Peak into the Soul", for a draw organized by the Beadworkers guild, founders of National Beading Week several years ago (which is now International Beading Week (IBW)). It is a layered sort of puzzle beaded bead, cool to play with. You can still participate in this draw too - send a beaded bead, or more! There are lots of prizes. Visit the website to learn more about what to do to enter.
During the 11 months between last year's beading week and this year's, members of the group beaded something every month, in one color of the beading week banner, to end up with a rainbow of elements. The photo below shows some of mine. I can honestly say that if the first color hadn't been yellow - which was not at all my favorite, I would have had difficulties finishing all this. The entire year long, I was astounded by how the collection looked happy and fun with yellow. Thanks to this year long bead along, I have developed a true love for the color combo yellow-orange-fuchsia. I am grateful for that!
Now that it's beading week, we are going to put it all together. I have a bit of advance, because In the group, during beading week, I will teach the bracelet I made with the "pentabezels" as I like to call them, so I had to finish it before the date. May I just say that this bracelet looks stunning on the wrist, and is very pleasant to wear? I'm really happy with the result.
|Pentabezel bracelet "Meryl"
Like captured sunlight, the color yellow has a hold on me.
It is named after movie star Meryl Streep, actress extraordinaire (my favorite) because she can play just any character so brilliantly; all the colors of the rainbow! The bezel draws a star in the open space of the bezel where the rivolis shine through. Yes, rivolis, which act very well as pentagons. If pentagon crystal stones exist in colors and sizes like the rivolis, I haven't been able to find any. About 3 years ago, I asked Swarovski (over FB) if they would make some, and I asked again when starting this project, but got no answer, alas.
|The bezels of my bracelet are closed at the back,
but I will show you that you can (more) easily back
the stones with leather.
For those who are interested: the interview I told you about in my previous post about IBW, has been published in issue #88 of Bead & Jewellery Magazine. Get a copy - it is full of beautiful projects by talented people (you can see the cover in the column on the right).
And finally, before I forget: I recently archived two of the Facebook groups I created - the Petal to Pod group, and the Tutorial Tuesday group. There was not much happening in these two groups and checking them daily (like 8 days a week :) ) for spam posts was not the funniest thing to do. Note that these groups can be unarchived any time, which I will probably do for the petal to pod group after IBW and a good Summer break! We'll see then!
In the meantime, I wish you happy beading!
Look at that yellow... hide it and tell me
how that looks ;-)
how that looks ;-)

Royals' Mike Moustakas takes a day off to rest sore knee
Battling a sore right knee, third baseman Mike Moustakas received a day off Thursday as the Royals concluded a three-game series against the Colorado Rockies.
The discomfort surfaced on Wednesday night in Moustakas' final at-bat, Royals manager Ned Yost. Moustakas felt a pop in his knee and moved gingerly as he returned to the dugout after flying out to center field.
"He's got a tendon in his leg that just kind of rolled over and popped," Yost said. "There's no structural damage, no inflammation, no fluid. He just got a little sore."
It's possible that Moustakas could spend a day or two at designated hitter as the Royals open a series at Cleveland on Friday night. Yost said they would evaluate his knee again after the day off.
"It's not anything that we're concerned about a bit," Yost said.
Moustakas previously battled knee issues after being drilled in the hip by Detroit reliever Bruce Rondon on July 26 at Comerica Park. The incident resulted in a deep bruise on Moustakas' leg that drained fluid into his knee over the course of the next two to three weeks.
"We're just going to give him a day off," Yost said. "And (we) might DH him a day or two depending on how he feels tomorrow in Cleveland."

THE Cholmondeley Power and Speed Festival is a chummy event where gentlemen with expensive toys let you get closer to their precious metal than they probably should, writes Simon Donohue.
An amazingly exclusive Ferrari (the rare race-spec FXX version of the Enzo, starts at £2m and you're not even allowed to take it home) sits in the same paddock as a brand new Bentley Bentayga (£160,200-plus), while enthusiasts of all ages mingle, paw and exchange mumbles of supressed excitement in line with their maturity and status.
The relaxed nature of the refined affair perhaps reflects the fact that many of the people here really can afford to touch. Half in mischief, I ask the nice Bentley man if he's taken any orders for the Bentayga today. His deadpan answer? "Yes, quite a few." That's me in my place then.
But sharing rather than showing off seems to be the overall theme here, with people fortunate enough to own such rare and luxurious motors merely happy to talk about them. In suburbia, discussions might take place about the latest Flymo. Here the talk is of single seaters, homologation and imports from far flung destinations with an interesting back story, such as the Ford Mustang which found a temporary home in Australia after being seized for moonshine running in the United States.
While the polite chatter takes place in the paddock, the real conversation surrounds what happens on the Cholmondeley circuit where the cars are put through their paces. Plummy vowelled commentators providing a running rapport which rather fades into background noise as cars take it in turn to cover the circuit as quickly as possible, ramping dramatically off the ground as they exist the bridge near the starting line. There are the occasional thrills and spills as someone spins off the track, or regains control in the nip of time, but mostly it's gentile, gentle and thoroughly good natured fun.
Helicopters, Pimms and burgers
Alongside the cars are copious bikes, helicopter flights and rides on a rib. You can eat burgers or drink Pimms. Cholmondeley: you probably shouldn't touch what you definitely can't afford, but it's a perfectly chummy experience all round if you do.
More details for next year as they become available here.

Today I joined Larz Top Sites. I'm dead last so if you could spare some time to vote it would really help. I also added the first submitted entry to the post your pictures gallery. See it here.
Sat, Sept 21, 2002
I fixed an error in the link to me section today. I switched the webrings and the guest book buttons on the left. I think this will make the guestbook easier to find. Sign it or feel free to send me an E-mail.
Mon Sept 16, 2002
I messed around with the layout a little today. I like it better than the old one. It looks more organized and all the webrings are out of the way. I made the top banner myself. Like it?
The site's finally up and running. All I need to do is finish my care sheet then I'm all done. If you have any suggestions just sign the guest book or email me. In a few days I'll post more pictures of my gecko.

You may have been faithful to the training schedule, but it's just not that fun anymore, and you're looking for a new way to do the usual spice routines phuket golf . With warmer weather phuket golf, now is the right time to take on a new sport that offers fun sports and will help you develop new skills, and that is a game of golf. The good news is that in almost every city and city there are local golf courses available, where you can't just learn how to play golf. However, after learning, you can play regularly and enjoy spending some quality time outdoors while engaging in healthy physical activity. .
The first step is to find a public golf course near you. You can immediately find all the phuket golf courses by doing an online search of the golf course. Here you will get the exact address of the local golf course, as well as see some pictures of the phuket golf course and the features that each offers. As you do a phuket golf search, you will have to find some special attractions that will help you get started in playing golf. One is to find a public local golf course that has a pro shop. Pro shops sell clothes and equipment suitable for golf. If you are just starting to try golf, it makes sense to hire clubs and other equipment to get started. You can try different pieces, and then when the time comes to buy your own, you will have a better idea of ??your preferences. The other is to search for golf courses for public golf courses that offer lessons. You will find that in phuket golf games, people at all skill levels take lessons. It's a great idea for beginners to start this way, so you develop good habits and the right skills, but experienced golfers also take lessons to improve certain aspects of their game. Many local golf courses offer driving ranges and green lays, so you can go out and practice as much as you want before you really go out and play.
Of course, the most fun comes when you really are outside on a public golf course playing a phuket golf round. Sometimes golf learning centers will have pros going with you because you learn how to play, and you can also meet other people learning and playing phuket golf rounds together to improve your abilities. This is also where the exercise goes in, because you will burn calories without even trying to just walk the local golf course while you play. The courses are often beautiful, and may include pools and waterfalls as part of the danger of play, and spectacular views.

Train travel incorporates some of the happiest memories for many. It is in fact fun to watch how a lot of people pack their bags and set off on a journey as soon as the vacation begins. Women and children in tow the men instruct the coolies to carry different kinds of bags and baggage while running through the crowd to track the compartment and locate the berths. The palpable tension and excitement quite evident on their faces the men set off to buy a barrage of chips and cold drinks to keep the family satiated on the long journey.
Leave behind city life
Most families travelling with children have their bags full of different kinds of food and aerated drinks not to mention the lunch and dinner. They had possible spent hours preparing food the day before. However, it is prudent to place order with a railway restaurant so that time and energy can be saved. It is quite fun to watch the hawkers on the train selling different kinds of ware and the children coaxing their parents to buy things that will hardly last them the journey. Simply staring out of the window to watch the green fields is engrossing in itself. Brick kilns, bridges and rivers greet the eyes offering a much-needed break from the daily humdrum of city life.
Taste the street food
The Indian trains, especially the regular compartments, allow various kinds of vendors to board the vehicle with a wide assortment of food items. For the connoisseurs of street food this is a unique opportunity to taste different kinds of dishes. However, for someone who is conscious of hygiene it might not be a great opportunity. While travelling to any part of India it is important to know about the place you are visiting and also the various kinds of foods available in that particular part of the country. To increase your knowledge of the place you are visiting you can always consult the wide variety of books that are sold by the vendors. The travel guides are especially useful and well-informed.
Dip into local delicacies
You will also come across many people who are the locals of a particular place. They can offer a lot of relevant information regarding food and places of visit that can come very handy. However, if a fellow traveler offers any food, then, it is most unwise to have it because incidents of travelers being drugged and robbed are not rare. Ordering food from a trusted railway restaurant is a better option because these are usually safe and hygienic. Also, you can order some of the local delicacies to suit your palette. They can rustle up a number of dishes like chana bhatorra, dosas, fried rice, sandwiches and also different types of desserts to finish the meal tastefully. Trains are often late which makes the journey boring but when the destination comes near all the tiredness and boredom goes away.

Hello I drop in from time to time to see the progress of this game as it had a ton of potential but just fell short in so many areas due to how long updates take and a incomplete gaming package for a survival sandbox (not bashing the game you guys do a very good job with the limited resources and devs)
But now that you guys have gotten a steam community do you guys have a estimate on when the pve server will be releasing and also ranged combat? Im not asking for a exact day but maybe a month or something? I try to stay up to date on this game but it seems like the forums are pretty dead and I have been logging in from time to time to play but one of my favorite play-styles is hunting and without ranged combat its very much a chore chasing around a hamster or bunny etc. Anyways grats on getting on steam finally and I really hope it helps you guys get a much larger player base considering this is one of the few true survival games out there.
