Tips to Make Your Retailing Adventure a Success
By Angie Patrick
Adding retail to your practice is a sound business idea proven to add unlimited revenue dollars to your business, while providing a profit for your bottom line. You potentially can add 20 to 80 percent or more to your income over treatment offerings alone! Numbers like that are difficult to ignore, especially when they are so easily within your grasp.
So, now that you have made the decision to offer products to your customers, where do you start? With so many decisions to make from product selection, to pricing, to merchandising, it's natural to feel a bit wary about taking the first step.I will share with you some ideas that can help you avoid making a mistake when beginning your new retailing adventure.
The first thing to identify is the type of therapy your services provide. Is your practice geared toward sports massage, relaxation massage, eastern therapies, holistic, energetic, spa, rehab or something else entirely? Once you have established what kind of market your clients comprise, you can begin to select products appropriate to your practice, as well as offering the greatest possibility of sell through.
Let's use sports massage as an example. Products appropriate for retailing in this type of environment would be hot and cold packs, analgesics, stretching tools, muscle relaxing bath soaks, exercise balls and so forth. The clientele for this type of massage would be more inclined to buy these types of items from their therapist because this is in the same realm as the therapy they seek from you. Offering items such as body scrubs and candles might not work as well in this sports massage environment. Conversely, relaxation products such as essential oils, buckwheat pillows, lamp rings, bath salts, sugar scrubs, salt scrubs, and scented lotions would be ideal retail items for spa, holistic and energetic therapy types.
Choose products you believe in and would use. Choose products you are knowledgeable about. When you make your product line decisions, make sure you are going to be comfortable with providing information about the product to your client. Know and understand the usage, and be able to share this information fluidly. Stumbling over instructions or ingredients will not convey a confidence in the product, and might cause your client to feel a bit unsure about purchasing from you. The more you know about your product lines, the better your ability to sell through and create more demand.
Listen to the cues you receive from your clients. Listen for phrases that begin with: "Oh I love the way my skin feels!" "What was that wonderful scent you used?" "I wish my skin could feel this soft all the time." "I want to get some of that stuff you used on my shoulder, it really relieved the pain." These are all cues signaling the type of products your clients would buy following a treatment.
The second piece in a successful retail program is pricing. You likely will be buying your retail products from the same place you buy your professional products. Often, your professional supply company might offer specialized pricing for select retail items. Spending your time trying to match professional pricing found in professional catalogs and advertisements is not necessary unless you are trying to retail your goods to other professionals in your field. Your pricing should be a fair "consumer" market value for your product offering, keeping in mind a few important points. One: you will be offering specialized professional products clients typically can't find in their local discount department stores. Two: your professional advice and suggestion also accompany that product sale. And three: your client likely will never frequent the supply company catalog or Web site from which you purchase your products, and likely will never see the pricing offered from them. Offering your products at an increased price is not bad business. Typically, the Manufacturers Standard Retail Price (MSRP) is a good indicator of pricing for your retail venue, and should be available from your supplier. The client is benefiting from your expertise, instruction and personal evaluation of the products you offer, so make sure you don't sell yourself short!
And lastly, presentation of your chosen product offering is the key in successful retailing. Clean and thoughtful placement of your products speaks volumes about you. A display with ample product appears well-kept and maintained. Avoid allowing only one of any item to be presented because doing so makes the item seem like an afterthought rather than a promoted feature. Items should be grouped in minimums of threes whenever possible. Three is a number that will provide ample product stock, as well as a pleasing aesthetic look.
Too many signs can give the appearance of a yard sale environment. Avoid hand written signs and price stickers. These techniques do not present a professional appearance, and can detract from the image you would like to present to your clients. You can print labels and signs easily from any PC. Doing so will add a streamlined look and feel, with a more desirable effect on your sales.
By following these simple guidelines, you can make retailing a natural part of your therapy practice. It isn't difficult to share information about products you believe in and can talk about from a personal perspective. This type of sales approach is real and honest, and is greatly appreciated by your clients. I encourage you to ask questions of your suppliers to find the right product lines for your needs. You can start small with a few key items you think would be beneficial. Whether you begin with a little or a lot, the important thing is just to start. You will be glad you did! I would love to hear about your retailing success stories and ideas. Feel free to drop me an e-mail at .

Hotel was clean, very large room bed and linens were pleasant. Good parking and friendly employees.
No hand towels in bathroom, bad job on remodel, tv was very small for room size, toilet paper holder was broken so toilet paper was laying on floor. For the price it wasn't what you expect as far as quality of rooms. Imagine a contemporary Super 8.

What does a retired chemistry professor do with his free time? Work on his online chemistry textbook, of course! That is precisely what Dr. Stephen Lower, formerly of Canada's Simon Fraser University, provides with his Chem1 Virtual Textbook. A project that began in the late 1980s, the online textbook includes 20 chapters that canvas the content of a year-long general chemistry course. The content pages include text and illustrations/diagrams, as well as a number of in-text links to other online resources. In addition to the text, the site includes a page of links for students, a page of links for teachers, and links to two other online chemistry texts. The entirety of the virtual textbook can be downloaded, and a section of the website highlights recent changes to the text.

Linear independence method for system identification/secondary path modeling for active control118(2005); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.1992727View Description Hide Description
A method for noninvasive system identification/secondary path modeling has been developed for single- and multi-channel filtered- least-mean-square (LMS)-based active noise control(ANC). The problem of on-line secondary path modeling is recognized as one of linear dependence associated with an underdetermined system, a one-equation/two-unknown problem in which the highly correlated primary source and secondary source contributions to the error signal are not readily distinguishable. The method resolves this uniqueness issue by introducing a second equation with similar unknowns. The critical linear independence of the two equations, hence the proposed designation, is achieved with a single perturbation of the control filter output, thereby rendering the system solvable. This secondary path modeling strategy was implemented using an innovative real-time DSP control architecture and tested on a "transducerless" system devised to investigate behavior of ANC algorithms. Results of narrowband, broadband, and multi-channel tests reveal response estimates that are accurate in both magnitude and phase; bias due to primary noise and other secondary sources is notably absent in the obtained secondary path models. The rapidity with which the system is identified can also contribute to the stability and performance of filtered- LMS-based controllers.
Control strategies for active noise barriers using near-field error sensing118(2005); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.1992787View Description Hide Description
In this paper active noise control strategies for noise barriers are presented which are based on the use of sensors near the noise barrier. Virtual error signals are derived from these near-field sensor signals such that reductions of the far-field sound pressure are obtained with the active system. The performance of the control algorithm is compared for far-field error signals, near-field error signals, and virtual far-field error signals, with and without additional reference sensors. The virtual error signals are obtained by using separate transfer functions for the primary sources and secondary sources. These separate transfer functions are determined in such a way that the necessity of the separation of the virtual sensors for the primary field and for the secondary field can be judged by direct comparison. The systems are evaluated for independent broadband and randomly positioned primary sources, changing source spectra, moving sources, and configurations involving a nonvanishing wind speed.

Our hotel in Hanoi (Madam Moon's Guesthouse) recommended the Beautiful Saigon Hotel. We stayed here five nights (room #301). Small, boutique hotel in District 1. Easy walk to many sights and great restaurants. Breakfast was included and served in the lobby each morning. (Their sister hotel, Beautiful Saigon II, has a restaurant which serves very good food.) Our room was $40/night. Comfy bed (the best bed in Vietnam -- most beds were like rocks!). Had a computer w/internet in our room. Miss Hanh was an excellent concierge -- she help book train tickets between Saigon-Danang and tours of the Mekong Delta and Cu Chi Tunnels. The front desk staff was equally helpful -- friendly and full of smiles.
The hotel arranged for us to have use of room #303 on the day we checked out because we were taking the midnight train to Danang. It was lovely to have a place to shower, pack, and nap before a 15-hour train ride. #303 was much smaller than our original room, and didn't have a computer, but is was clean and comfortable. This would be an excellent room for a solo traveller.
You could here some street noise in both room, but hey -- this is Ho Chi Minh City. If you want peace and quiet, head to the coast or to the mountains. HCMC is a bustling metropolis!
We would definitely stay here again should we ever find ourselves in HCMC.
- Official Description (provided by the hotel):
- Beautiful Saigon hotel is centrally located at the heart of the city approximately 20 minutes from the Tan San Nhat international airport. The hotel is within a walking distance from the Ben Thanh market, the Saigon River, as well as many other tourist attractions such as the War Museum, the Notre Dam Church, and the Reunification Palace. The location of the hotel provides you with an easy access to the public transportations, tour operators, restaurants, bars, and shopping centers. 24-hour front desk. ... more less

Samsung ATIV S pictures and hands-onPocket-lint
The Samsung ATIV S, or ATIV Odyssey on Verizon, is the third Windows Phone 8 device in the family and the one that is likely to get little of the spotlight compared to the HTC 8X and the Nokia Lumia range, but that doesn't mean it should be overlooked.
READ: What's new in Windows Phone 8?
Available exclusively to Phones 4 U in the UK, the phone is light and large, offering a big battery to, hopefully, help you through the day. It is also one of the few WP8 smartphones that has expandable storage via an micro SD slot and a removable battery.
We first saw it at IFA in Berlin, Germany, a couple of months ago, and now we've been able to turn the device on and have a greater play.
Inside the 8.7mm brushed-aluminum chassis is a huge 4.8-inch HD Super AMOLED display made from Corning Gorilla Glass 2. It's powered by a 1.5Ghz dual-core processor, with 1GB of on-board RAM, and an 8MP autofocus rear camera and 1.9MP front-facing camera.
Storage wise you'll get a 16GB or 32GB version and a MicroSD slot for expanded storage. Don't forget there will be SkyDrive support as well, to go one step further.
READ: Windows Phone 8: The phones to buy
Backing all of this up is a massive 2300mAh battery to keep you rocking all day. We are going to try to track down the phone at IFA to bring you our own batch of photos and first impressions on the device. In the meantime enjoy Microsoft's efforts of the new Samsung ATIV S.
Like Nokia and HTC, Samsung has pre-loaded the ATIV S with a bevy of apps to entice you over. Samsung's chat service ChatOn is there, as too is Music hub and a diary app that looks to be a bit pointless.
Overall we suspect the ATIV S will struggle in the cool stakes against the HTC and Nokia offering, but it is light, does offer a big screen, and isn't a slouch when it comes to performance.

Kakinada Vacation Packages
Kakinada offers visitors a number of interesting destinations to visit. The Pithapur Raja Government College and Vivekananda Park are two good options.
Kakinada is not the only place in Andhra Pradesh worth experiencing; visitors with plenty of time should also set out to see the special qualities of the surrounding scenery, towns and cities. Rajahmundry, lays 30 miles (48 kilometers) to the east, and Kannapuram can be found 55 miles (89 kilometers) to the east.
To explore the regional flora and fauna, set out to explore the Gandhi Nagar Municipal Park, which is located in Kakinada, 2 miles (3 kilometers) away from Kakinada. Don't forget your hiking shoes!
Delve into Kakinada's religious side by paying your respects at the region's shrines and other holy sites. The area around Kakinada is well known for its many ruins; these are wonderful reminders of the region's rich history.
This region offers a range of relaxing pursuits. Why not spend some time picnicking or sunbathing and leave your worries behind. Specialty tours are an excellent way to experience the places most visitors never see. So consider signing up for one of the guided nature walks and wildlife spotting tours.
When booking your holiday to Kakinada, it's good to remember that the handiest major airport, Vishakhapatnam Airport, is located in in Visakhapatnam, 85 miles (137 kilometers) to the northeast.

I am using Heroku for my production environment so I need to load the paperclip files into different directories.
For development I want it to continue in the current /system default, and in production I want to pass the :path variable to a /tmp directory per Heroku.
How do I do this? Am guessing maybe set something in the environments/production.rb file as a variable for the :path but I'd like to see explicitly how to do it the right way.
Here is a snippet from my controller to create the model after passing the file through a multipart form:
def create
@contact = Contact.create(params[:contact])
unless @contact.vcard.path.blank?
paperclip_vcard = File.new(@contact.vcard.path)

Maybe it wouldn't have mattered. Maybe Brad Hawpe would have stroked a two-out hit into the gap and former Tennessee quarterback Todd Helton would have scored all the way from first to still give the Colorado Rockies a 9-8, break-out-the-defibrillator-paddles victory against the San Diego Padres and a ticket to the National League Division Series.
Then again, maybe not.
Maybe Hawpe strikes out against the greatest reliever of all time, Trevor Hoffman, and the 163rd game of the season needs a 14th inning. Or a 20th. Maybe the Padres, not the Rockies, end up winning the thing, shower in champagne, and then fly to Philadelphia for Wednesday night's NLDS opener against the Phillies.
Instead, a bang-bang play at home plate -- essentially the play that decided if the Rockies would become the last playoff entrant -- was made by a well-meaning plate umpire who was forced to make an educated guess on the call. Tim McClelland guessed, and he was wrong.
If only he'd had a friend to help him out. Hello, instant replay.
McClelland, a 25-year-plus umpiring veteran who has worked four World Series and six League Championship Series, called Matt Holliday safe at home in the bottom of the 13th inning of Monday night's game at Coors Field. It was a slightly delayed call -- that's McClelland's style -- but there was no mistaking that he thought Holliday, tagging from third on a sacrifice fly, had somehow slipped his left hand (pinkie?) past catcher Michael Barrett's left foot, which blocked the plate as Barrett waited for the throw from outfielder Brian Giles.
Holliday's hand never touched the base. But by then McClelland had made the call, Barrett had dropped the ball and begun walking toward the Padres dugout, and the Rockies had begun celebrating. Had there been instant replay, they might still be playing.
Yes, I know what I wrote two years ago after a handful of close and sometimes bizarre plays helped determine the 2005 ALCS and NLCS winners:
- Is it time for instant replay in baseball? The answer is no, and should always be no unless hell freezes over, Bud Selig wears a thong, and artificial turf is installed at Fenway Park.
I was wrong. Turns out the answer is yes. And it isn't yes because McClelland probably botched the Holliday-Barrett call. It's because it's time for the baseball purists (guilty) to acknowledge the game can be improved by technology.
Did you see the replays? Not even Holliday, who was there, knew if he touched home plate. Of course, that's what happens when you're semiconscious from the collision.
Barrett said he thought he blocked Holliday off the plate. So did TBS analyst Cal Ripken Jr. But Padres manager Bud Black, watching from the dugout, said he thought Holliday's hand slipped through. And a giddy Rockies general manager Dan O'Dowd told Denver reporters, "I don't care."
Wouldn't it have been nice to be sure? Or as close as you can get to sure?
How many Don Denkinger/Game 6 moments of the 1985 World Series do we have to endure before Selig and the owners give instant replay a chance?
"I am an umpire's friend," said Seattle Mariners GM Bill Bavasi, who, by the way, thought Holliday could have been safe. "I like those guys. I think they're good. I'm proud of our umpires. But, hey, if you can help these guys, help them."
It cost the NFL $9.5 million to help its guys. That's the what the league spent to install state-of-the-art, high-definition monitors in the replay, coaches and on-field booths of all 31 NFL stadiums. Depending on the system, Major League Baseball could do it more cheaply, but why not demand the best? The fans, the Padres, to say nothing of the umpires themselves, deserve that much.
"We're going to demand these [umpires] stay in the dark ages?" Bavasi said. "And then get pissed at them when we have the technology that we refuse to give them?"
Good point. Bavasi isn't advocating a sweeping, all-encompassing replay system. But he wouldn't mind the umpires having a video safety net when it comes to fair or foul balls, balls above or below the home run line on outfield walls, fan interference, and maybe even those bang-bang plays on the bases.
He isn't alone. The Rockies' Dowd is the chairman of the technology committee at the annual GM meetings. He plans to raise the issue of instant replay later this year.
Meanwhile, just a few nights ago at Seattle's Safeco Field, there was a close play that went against the Mariners. The replay, seen throughout the stadium on monitors, elicited an instant groan from the Mariners' crowd.
Between innings, crew chief Ed Montague walked down the first-base line, sort of turned to Seattle manager John McLaren, and said, "By the reaction of the crowd, am I safe to assume that I blew that one?"
See, the umpires want to get it right, too. They really do. So maybe you give a manager two challenges per game on a close call. Will it slow down an already plodding game? Sometimes. But it also might speed it up in some circumstances.
Manager challenges a call. Crew chief ducks into the HD booth. Decision made. Beats the 12-minute hissy fit by a manager. Or the occasional long conference by the umpiring crew.
"This is a ball that is very, very friggin' small," Bavasi said. "The foul lines are narrow. The ball is traveling at a very high rate of speed. Did it touch the line? Did the fan reach over? That's not easy to [determine]."
The umpires wouldn't resist the move. At least, the smart ones wouldn't. Why would you resist technology that can help you do your job better? After all, the NFL uses it. College football uses it. The NBA uses it. NASCAR uses it. Pro tennis uses it.
MLB, its owners, the baseball media, the old-timers shouldn't resist. This isn't about preserving history. This is about improving the accuracy and the integrity of the game.
"Yes, I know for the last 100 years we did it without instant replay," Bavasi said. "Hey, I've got a guy here, if he had gone without the latest cancer treatments the last 10 years, he'd be dead. So B.S. on that."
Late Monday night, as reporters assembled around his locker, the classy Hoffman blamed himself for the loss.
"Unfortunately we're going home," he said. "And you can't point to any other factor other than my performance."
That's not exactly true. Just look at the replay.

Kasim spent an entire week trying to convince himself that leaving Eastport was the right decision, but as the days passed his thoughts of Angel only increased. As much as he tried to resist, the following Saturday, he was back in his truck making the two hour drive all over again. After charming Angel's apartment number from a nosy, elderly neighbor, Kasim sat on the stairs in Angel's hallway trying to muster up the nerve to ring her doorbell. As luck would have it, fate intervenes when he hears the lock click on the apartment door.
Angel grunts and mumbles under her breath as she struggles to stuff a large bag of garbage down the narrow trash shute.
Angel: Why is this stupid thing so small?
While pushing and pulling on the compactor door to force the garbage down, Angel gets a strange feeling that she's not alone and quickly looks over her shoulder towards the stairs. When her eyes confirm the hallway is empty, she goes back to fighting with the garbage bag. Just as she makes the final push on the chute door to get the bag to go down, she hears her name and the hairs on the back of her neck stand up.
Kasim: What's up, Angel? Long time no see?
Kasim: Damn, what you jumping for? I'm not gonna do anything to you.
He walks towards her, but stops short when he sees the look of terror on her face.
Kasim: What's wrong? Why are you looking like that?
Angel tries to calm herself and steady her heart from beating out her chest.
Angel: Nothing's wrong, you just scared me. I wasn't expecting to see you. What are doing here? How did you find me?
Kasim: I followed you from St. Claire last Saturday.
Angel: You did what?!
Kasim: I knew you'd be angry. That's why I didn't say anything to you last week. I only came back because I couldn't stop thinking about you. I miss you so much. You don't miss me at all?
She ignored the question.
Angel: Kasim, this is not a good time. You've caught me completely off guard. We can't have this conversation right now.
She shook her head emphatically, avoiding eye contact
kasim: Why not? You got company?
Angel: No.
When her eyes darted furtively towards her apartment door, he knew what she was going to do before she did it. With three long strides and a slide that would have impressed recruiters from the Sim City Llamas, he firmly wedges his foot in the door before she has a chance to close it.
Kasim: Ow!
He yelps in pain as the door slams against his foot, but maintains his position .
Angel: I'm sorry. I didn't mean to do that. Kasim, please… Please move your foot. I can't do this with you right now.
Angel, just open the door. Why are you acting like this? Are you still mad at me after all this time?
Angel: No, I'm not angry. This is just a bad time. Please move your foot.
Kasim immediately notices that she's lowered her voice since entering her apartment.
Kasim: Why are you talking so low? You got company? Is your new man in there? Is it Chris?
Pointedly ignoring him, Angel continues trying to shut the door.
The more she resists and keeps pressing her weight on the door - and his foot, the angrier Kasim becomes.
Kasim: Angel, stop playing! Why won't you open the door? You're hurting my foot!
Angel: I'm sorry. Just move it out of the way.
Kasim: You know I can open this door if I really want to. I don't want to push my way into your house, but I'm not leaving. So just stop all this nonsense and let me in.
Kasim is suddenly distracted by an odd noise coming from inside the apartment. It sounds like wheels or something dragging across the floor. When Angel starts frantically pushing on the door and whispering to someone, Kasim responds by pushing back even harder and opening the door open a bit more.
Kasim: Who are you talking to?! Angel, open this damn do-
He stops mid sentence when the source of the noise is revealed and Kasim is staring into a pair of little eyes that looked strikingly similar to his own eyes.
And when the face behind the familiar eyes smiles, revealing a deep set of dimples Kasim feels his knees buckle a little beneath him.

We have yet to see Tom Holland in costume, but Marvel Studios' future Spider-Man continues to tease fans with footage of him working on his heroic move set. The latest video of the young actor catches him practicing some Spidey-style in his backyard.
RELATED: "Captain America: Civil War" Made Holland "10 Times More Excited" for "Spider-Man"
Holland's Spider-Man/Peter Parker will debut when "Captain America: Civil War" rolls into theaters on May 6, though it remains a mystery just how big his part will be in the film as Spider-Man has been noticeably absent from trailers and promo art for the movie.
Spider-Man's next film, directed by Jon Watts, arrives in theaters July 28, 2017.

Heat oven to 400 degrees. Grease bottoms only of 12 medium muffin cups or line with paper baking cups. Beat eggs slightly in medium bowl; stir in remaining ingredients except blueberries just until moistened. Fold blueberries into batter. Divide batter evenly among cups. Bake 15-18 minutes or until golden brown.

maguilar1028 3m agoI use this to make all kinds of fruit muffins. With a little adjustments. They are delicious every time. I have used bananas and apples.
ccfoelker72 5m ago+1 more egg, 2tsp vanilla, splash of oil, & cranberry
billmc44 2y agoThis is a good muffin recipe. I really went overboard on the fresh blueberries. The muffins came out moist, with big beautiful blue spots throughout, and beautiful rough tops. I sprinkled the muffins with some granulated sugar before baking. Next time, I'm going to use tons of fresh cherries to see how that turns out!

ann.jacky 3y agoHubby found these were dry & didn't like the consistency. I feel they are fair, but slightly dry.
Calvinkaiser 4y agoSimple easy and tasty. I split the batter in half and make half blueberry and half chocolate chip.
Ibuki70 5y agoI followed the directions and my muffins turned out perfect. They were moist, delicious with blueberries from top to bottom.

At the Forge - Integrating with Facebook Data
For the past few months, we've been looking at the Facebook API, which makes it possible to integrate third-party applications into the popular social-networking site. Facebook is remarkable to users for the number of people already using it, as well as for the rapid pace at which new people are joining. But, it also is remarkable for software developers, who suddenly have been given access to a large number of users, into whose day-to-day Web experience they can add their own applications.
The nature of Facebook means that most developers are writing applications that are more frivolous than not. Thus, it's easy to find name-that-celebrity games, extensions to built-in Facebook functionality (such as, "SuperWall") and various applications that ask questions, match people together and so forth. I expect we eventually will see some more serious applications created with the Facebook API, but that depends on the developer community. I would argue that the continued growth of Facebook applications depends on the ability of developers to profit from their work, but that is a business issue, rather than a technical one.
Regardless of what your application does, it probably will be quite boring if you cannot keep track of information about your users. This might strike you as strange—after all, if you are writing a Facebook application, shouldn't Facebook take care of the storage for you?
The answer is no. Although Facebook handles user authentication, gives you the ability to deploy your application within the Facebook site and even provides access to certain data about the currently logged-in user, it does not store data on your behalf. This means any data you want to store must be kept on your own server, in your own database.
This month, I explain how to create a simple application on Facebook that allows us to retrieve data from a user's Facebook profile or from our local relational database seamlessly. The key to this is the user's Facebook ID, which we will integrate into our own user database. Retrieving information about our user, or about any of their friends, will require a bit of thinking about where the data is stored. However, you will soon see that mixing data from different sources is not as difficult as it might sound at first, and it can lead to far more interesting applications.
Our application is going to be simple—a Facebook version of the famous "Hello, world" program that is the first lesson in oh-so-many books and classes. However, we'll add two simple twists: first, we will display the number of times that the user has visited our application to date. (So, on your fifth visit, you will be reminded that this is your fifth visit.) Moreover, you will be told how many times each of your friends has visited the site.
In a normal Web/database application, this would be quite straightforward. First, we would define a database to keep track of users, friends and visits. Then, we would write some code to keep track of logins. Finally, we would create a page that displayed the result of a join between the various pages to show when people had last visited. For example, we could structure our database tables like this:
CREATE TABLE People ( id SERIAL NOT NULL, email_address TEXT NOT NULL, encrypted_password TEXT NOT NULL, PRIMARY KEY(id), UNIQUE(email_address) ); CREATE TABLE Visits ( person_id INTEGER NOT NULL REFERENCES People, visited_at TIMESTAMP NOT NULL DEFAULT NOW(), UNIQUE(person_id, visited_at) ); CREATE TABLE Friends ( person_id INTEGER NOT NULL REFERENCES People, friend_id INTEGER NOT NULL REFERENCES People, UNIQUE(person_id, friend_id), CHECK(person_id <> friend_id) );
Our first table, People, contains only a small number of columns, probably fewer than you would want in a real system. We keep track of the users' primary key (id), their e-mail addresses (which double as their login) and their encrypted passwords.
We keep track of each visit someone makes to our site in a separate table. We don't need to do this; it would be a bit easier and faster to have a number_of_visits column in the People table and then just increment that with each visit. But, keeping track of each visit means we have more flexibility in the future, from collecting usage statistics to stopping people from using our system too much.
Finally, we indicate friendship in our Friends table. Keeping track of friends is a slightly tricky business, because you want to assume that if A is a friend to B, then B also is a friend to A. We could do this, but it's easier in my book simply to enter two rows in the database, one for each direction. To retrieve the friends of A, whose ID is 1, we look in the Friends table for all of the values of friend_id where person_id = 1.

Practical Task Scheduling Deployment

One of the best things about the UNIX environment (aside from being stable and efficient) is the vast array of software tools available to help you do your job. Traditionally, a UNIX tool does only one thing, but does that one thing very well. For example, grep is very easy to use and can search vast amounts of data quickly. The find tool can find a particular file or files based on all kinds of criteria. It's pretty easy to string these tools together to build even more powerful tools, such as a tool that finds all of the .log files in the /home directory and searches each one for a particular entry. This erector-set mentality allows UNIX system administrators to seem to always have the right tool for the job.
Cron traditionally has been considered another such a tool for job scheduling, but is it enough? This webinar considers that very question. The first part builds on a previous Geek Guide, Beyond Cron, and briefly describes how to know when it might be time to consider upgrading your job scheduling infrastructure. The second part presents an actual planning and implementation framework.

With all the industry talk about the benefits of Linux on Power and all the performance advantages offered by its open architecture, you may be considering a move in that direction. If you are thinking about analytics, big data and cloud computing, you would be right to evaluate Power. The idea of using commodity x86 hardware and replacing it every three years is an outdated cost model. It doesn't consider the total cost of ownership, and it doesn't consider the advantage of real processing power, high-availability and multithreading like a demon.
This ebook takes a look at some of the practical applications of the Linux on Power platform and ways you might bring all the performance power of this open architecture to bear for your organization. There are no smoke and mirrors here—just hard, cold, empirical evidence provided by independent sources. I also consider some innovative ways Linux on Power will be used in the future.Get the Guide

1997 Ford Aerostar ProblemsSynchronizer Shaft For the Camshaft Position Sensor May Make Noise
The synchronizer shaft for the camshaft position sensor can cause a loud squeak or chirping noise due to failure of the upper bushing. The noise may be erratic and is usually present when the engine is warm.
Engine oil leaks are known to develop around the rear crankshaft (main) seal and engine oil pan gasket.
If you experience poor idle quality and fuel economy (and the Check Engine Light illuminates) after the exhaust system or motor has been removed and replaced, it could be that the oxygen sensor wires are crossed at the rear of the motor. Wiring schematics should be checked to ensure that the correct harness plug is connected to the corresponding sensor.

JDA Customer Pulse Report Reveals Nearly One in Five UK Consumers Experience Online Order Problems
The research also reveals that an increasing number of consumers are turning towards 'Click & Collect' services, with nearly one in two (48 percent) consumers stating they have used such services in the last 12 months. Of those consumers who have used 'Click & Collect', convenience (53 percent) and cost (53 percent) were by far the biggest reasons for doing so. In the face of growing customer expectations, 61 percent of respondents stated they would switch retailer based on receiving an 'unacceptable'
"Today's retail customer is demanding a seamless brand interaction. Those that fail to provide this risk damaging their brand and receiving rapid and negative exposure through social media. However, it is clear from the research that a significant number of online orders are failing at the final hurdle," said Lee Gill, vice president, retail strategy, EMEA at JDA Software. "Increasing consumer demand and more intense competition is likely to result in greater fulfillment complexity. Many retailers are now offering 'Click & Collect' services in an attempt to reduce fulfillment costs, improve service and offer greater convenience. However, the challenge they face is ensuring that they can scale for future growth and deliver a truly consistent experience between their online and in-store operations."
No Substitute for the Right Product
When it comes to online grocery orders, product substitutions remain a big gripe for shoppers. More than half (55 percent) stated that substitutions are a major frustration. In fact, more than two thirds (67 percent) of respondents stated that frequent substitutions would make them consider changing their supermarket.
Faster Fulfillment
When it comes to home delivery, the research reveals that cost (64 percent) rather than convenience (36 percent) is most important to shoppers. However, nearly a third of consumers (32 percent) said they would be prepared to pay a premium for the immediacy and convenience of same day (i.e. within 2 hours) delivery.
· 54 percent said they would chose a retailer that offers same day delivery over one that offers standard delivery
· 40 percent said they would chose a retailer that offers same day delivery over one that offers free delivery
· The majority of consumers (57 percent) would be willing to pay between £1 and £5 for a same day delivery
· Groceries (40 percent), Electrical & Entertainments (36 percent) and Clothing and Footwear (31 percent) were the retail segments consumers were most likely to pay a premium for immediacy and convenience
Return to Sender
Online returns continue to be a source of discontent for many consumers, with 49 percent stating that having to pay for returns postage & packaging is their biggest frustration. This was followed by having to return items by post /waiting for couriers (33 percent) and the inability to return goods to store (22 percent). When it comes to online fashion, which is the biggest sector for returns, more than half (51 percent) of shoppers are returning at least one item per year, with the majority (24 percent) returning 1-2 items per year. Considering the physical cost to handle returns, this can cost retailers £millions annually.
"The continued growth in online shopping will bring further pressure on retailers' fulfilment capabilities as they scramble to scale their operations to meet record levels of demand. The future also promises to be more complex, as both consumers and the competition force a contraction in order-to-delivery windows from days to hours and even minutes. It is the new retail battleground, where fulfilment excellence will succeed, as digital and physical supply chain operations converge and customer service is balanced with an eye on profitability,"
The omnibus survey of 3,139 U.K. consumers aged 16-64, was commissioned by JDA and conducted by independent research company TNS.

We doubled the recipe and added 4 cups gin to have a variety of slushes on hand.
This was a very interesting slush! Someone gave me a bag of frozen rhubarb and I thought I'd give this a try. I enjoyed the different flavors. I'm really not a big fan of rhubarb, so for somebody else this might be a five star dish. Thanks for a good recipe!
