MSI GeForce GTX 680 TwinFrozr III OC review -
Product Showcase
Product Showcase
So above we have the MSI GeForce GTX 680 Twinfrozer III OC edition. A familiar looking card as the cooler is being used on many of MSI's graphics cards. Let's look at the card from several different viewpoints. The GTX 680 card is quite good looking with the black colored monitor connectors and then that dual fan Twinfrozer III cooler.
The card is equipped with the GK104 GPU that harbors the new Kepler architecture we will talk about in the next chapters.
The card will come with two GB of graphics memory, that's definitely enough if you are a hardcore gamer with a monitor resolution of 1920x1200. If you plan to game on triple monitors then later on a 4 GB model might become an option as well, that would definitely help you out in the uber high resolutions and hefty AA combinations.
These cards are PCI Exprress gen 3.0 compatible. Going from PCIe Gen 2 to Gen 3 doubles the bandwidth available to the add-on cards installed, from 500 MB/s per lane to 1 GB/s per lane. NVIDIA still has to unlock this feature at driver level though.
Above the packaging so you know what to look for in the stores. Clearly visible is that NVIDIA has a say in the design with the stamped now style GTX 680 logo.
The GeForce GTX 680 is a good looking cards and NVIDIA will definitely pimping themselves if you have an chassis with side window. The card is 26 cm in length by the way. Included are the regulars like the card, manual, driver/afterburner CD and a power connector converter (should you need it).

Collaboration, as we know it, is focused on encouraging interaction between individuals and teams within an organization to make it successful. Projects tasked with applying this cultural shift into an integrated technical solution, however, usually start with a much narrower focus. Sponsored by executives, managers, IT, front-line staff or a combination of several stakeholders, these projects rarely have simultaneous buy-in from all. This session explores the adoption strategies for each type of stakeholder not originally vested in the projects, presents shortcuts for identifying value, and provides a roadmap for integrating features in SharePoint to enhance your long-term strategy.

Tropical Fish Keeping - Aquarium fish care and resources (http://www.tropicalfishkeeping.com/forum.php)
- Livebearers (http://www.tropicalfishkeeping.com/livebearers/)
- - Swordtails...? (http://www.tropicalfishkeeping.com/livebearers/swordtails-67121/)
Hey guys! Are swordtails platys? I know this is probably a dumb question, but I'm not sure if they are or not....I think they are because I THINK that my swordtail mated with my platy, but I'm not sure...
I don't know, they look identical, I have some and i dont even know lol. I will research that. When I first got them I though the tank was mis labeled at petsmart cause it was all females and they looked like platys.
No swordtails are not platys although they are closely related and can interbreed. Female swords do look like platies though but are slightly longer. Male swords also have a sword-like tail that platys don't If you look in the top left part of the screen there's something that says "Tropical Fish Profiles" click that then look under the livebearers part for both species.
Thanks!!! My platy gave birth a few months ago and I had already had her from the store for about 7 months, so I didn't think she could still have been storing sperm. That would make sense if she interbred with my swordtail.
actually it could have been either. I believe platys can store sperm just like swords can but I'm not sure for how long. I guess the only way to know is see what the fry look like.

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. -- Fredi Gonzalez wanted a complete game as bad as Ricky Nolasco, so there was no hesitation in giving the young Florida Marlins pitcher an opportunity to pursue the first of his career.
"It would have been my first as a manager as well. I've never had one, so I guess we were both cheering hard for it," Gonzalez said Sunday after the Marlins stopped a three-game losing streak with a 9-3 victory over the Tampa Bay Rays.
Nolasco fell an out shy of going the distance, but did throw more pitches -- 132 -- than any major leaguer this season in nearly posting Florida's first complete game since Anibal Sanchez went eight innings in a 2-1 loss at Atlanta on Sept. 16, 2006.
The Marlins have gone 245 games since their last complete game, the longest current streak in the majors and second-longest stretch ever behind the Washington Nationals' 261-game drought from Aug. 16, 2006 to May 31, 2008.
"Fredi gave me every chance," Nolasco said. "I just couldn't get that last out."
Nolasco (7-4) yielded three runs and six hits in 8 2/3 innings to win for the sixth time in his past seven decisions and tie Mark Hendrickson for the team lead in victories. The right-hander struck out a career-high 12 and walked one.
Mike Jacobs and Wes Helms both homered off Edwin Jackson (4-6), who made his last start before he's expected to begin serving a five-game suspension for his part in Tampa Bay's bench-clearing brawl at Boston on June 5.
The victory stopped Florida's three-game skid and prevented the Rays from sweeping the weekend Citrus Series. The intrastate foes, who've never truly developed a rivalry, meet again next week in Miami.
"That's our goal, and it's wonderful that we're disappointed," Tampa Bay manager Joe Maddon said of the wasted opportunity to take all three games of the series. "That's something that hasn't happened here in the past. The expectations have been raised."
The Rays scored on Jason Bartlett's RBI single in the fifth and Eric Hinske's 12th homer in the sixth before adding an unearned run in the ninth off Nolasco, who retired the first two batters in the inning before running out of gas.
The Florida starter walked Evan Longoria and gave up a single to Cliff Floyd before being replaced by Joe Nelson. Hanley Ramirez mishandled a grounder for an error that loaded the bases, then Gabe Gross singled to drive in the other run charged to Nolasco.
The Marlins don't expect the high pitch count to have an adverse effect on Nolasco, who is 6-1 over his his last eight appearances following a 1-3 start. His 12 strikeouts were the most by a Florida pitcher since Dontrelle Willis fanned 12 in a complete game against Philadelphia on Sept. 10, 2006.
"Normally I don't like to push guys past 125, but he deserved the chance," Gonzalez said, noting the Marlins have an off day Thursday, meaning the 25-year-old right-hander will have an extra day of rest between starts.
"I threw more than that in high school. I threw 188 there," Nolasco said. "But that was only pitching once a week. ... I'll be fine, and I'll recover fine."
The Marlins only had five hits off Jackson, but made the most of them. The Rays starter hurt himself by walking two batters ahead of Helms' first homer since May 17 in the second inning, and Jeremy Hermida and Jorge Cantu singled with two outs before Jacobs' 16th homer put Florida up 6-0 in the fifth.
Florida began the day leading the major leagues with 101 homers, but had not hit one in three games. Before the stretch Helms ended, the Marlins had not gone consecutive games without a homer this season.
Cody Ross had a two-run triple in the eighth and Cantu added an RBI single in the ninth.
- Marlins RHP Josh Johnson, who had Tommy John surgery last August, made his first rehab start Saturday, yielding two runs on eight hits and striking out seven in five innings for Class A Greensboro. He's expected to make his next rehab start for Class A Jupiter.
- The Rays stole eight bases in the series, boosting their major league-leading total to 80.
- Designated hitter has not been a real productive spot for the Marlins. Jacobs' homer was just the 10th a Florida DH has hit in 94 interleague road games.

Why Have Poorer Neighbourhoods Stagnated Economically, While the Richer have Flourished? Neighbourhood Income Inequality in Canadian Cities
Higher income neighbourhoods in Canada's eight largest cities flourished economically during the past quarter century, while lower income communities stagnated. This paper identifies some of the underlying processes that led to this outcome. Increasing family income inequality drove much of the rise in neighbourhood inequality. Increased spatial economic segregation, the increasing tendency of "like to live nearby like†, also played a role. In the end, the differential economic outcomes between richer and poorer neighbourhoods originated in the labour market, or in family formation patterns. Changes in investment, pension income, or government transfers played a very minor role. But it was not unemployment that differentiated the richer from poorer neighbourhoods. Rather, it was the type of job found, particularly the annual earnings generated. The end result has been little improvement in economic resources in poor neighbourhoods during a period of substantial economic growth, and a rise in neighbourhood income inequality.

Ultimately this hurt his Red Bull Racing team mate Daniel Ricciardo the most, as it gave Nico Rosberg, against whom he was racing, a 'free' pit stop that kept the German out of his reach, meaning Ricciardo could only finish third.
Winning Strategy
Haas thrive at home
How did they perform in Austin?
We picked the Haas F1 Team for the US Grand Prix weekend and it ended positively with a 10th place finish for Romain Grosjean and a World Championship point on the team's home debut. The Frenchman started 17th on the grid but he got off to a good start and did a two-stop strategy, with the supersoft, soft and then a long stint on medium tires. He was fortunate that none of the cars he was racing against were able to benefit from the Virtual Safety Car on Lap 31, as they all had just made their pit stops.
Race Strategy Briefing
A great racing track
Circuit of the Americas features corners styled on other iconic tracks, but above all it is a great circuit with good overtaking opportunities.
The 10th time this tire combination has been used and it will lead to two-stop strategies. Some drivers may try to qualify on
High top speeds
The cars will hit speeds of around 335km/h on the 1km main straight leading into turn 12.
A good track for overtaking
Turn 1 is a great overtaking corner due to the variety of lines that are available. Typically there are around 40 overtakes per race in dry weather.
Track temperatures will be decisive
The soft and medium tires have a very different working range depending on the track temperatures.
Race Information
United States, Austin
October 23 | 14:00 local time, 21:00 CET
Formula 1 has been searching for some time for a suitable permanent circuit in the USA and in Austin it has found it. In only its fifth year, the American Grand Prix in Austin has rapidly become a favourite with both fans and F1 teams. Once again designed by Hermann Tilke, this undulating circuit takes characteristics from some of the best corners in racing, including the Maggots-Becketts section at Silverstone and the famous Turn Eight in Turkey. Austin's first race was a thriller as Lewis Hamilton made use of DRS to complete a move around the outside of Sebastian Vettel in the closing stages for race victory. And in 2013 the move was replicated by many others, making use of the long back straight into a heavy-braking hairpin. Lewis Hamilton had been victorious twice in the last two years and sealed his third world title with the win in 2015.
Circuit length 5.513 km
Race distance 308.405 km
Laps 56
Race winner 2015 Lewis Hamilton
Pirelli allocation Supersoft/Soft/Medium
Strategy Insights
Austin is always a cat and mouse game at the front and we have seen overtakes for the lead in the closing stages on several occasions. It is also a track that rewards aggressive strategy; the undercut (pitting a lap earlier than the car in front) is particularly effective here. Last year's race featured a number of surprises due to the weather, as teams were forced to improvise on strategy. But the race was ultimately decided in Lewis Hamilton's favor when Nico Rosberg made a mistake and slipped off the road.

About the Book
They say, "If you give a woman a hand out, you will leave her helpless. But if you teach a woman a skill, she will change her world by becoming self-reliant, empowering her to teach this skill to others and one woman at a time, India will change."
Two remarkable organizations aided the production of these images and work daily to change the lives of women in India. These organizations are Self Employed Women's Association and Guild of Service. To the remarkable women we met, I dedicate this book of photographs.

About the Creator
I teach photography, web design for artists and artist book classes at Northern Kentucky University and have been a working artist for over 40 years. I began making blurb books the first day I got a notice that blurb existed. Since then I have made quite a few for myself, gotten friends and family to make books, and use blurb when teaching my courses in artist bookmaking and photography and whenever I teach study abroad classes. Blurb democratized bookmaking for the rest of us and for that I am grateful. Thank you Eileen.

Product: The Monkey Hook picture hanger
Designer: A Monkey & A Marketer
Price: $3 for 2
Rating: Recommend*
Like trying to reinvent the mousetrap, a product comes along every now and then that DOES make a significant improvement in an ancient field. The Monkey Hook is one of them.
An ingenious and simple design, The Monkey Hook uses one rigid piece of wire to replace the need for a hammer, pin and hook. Able to hold 50lbs per hook, these guys can be doubled and even tripled for heavy loads such as mirrors.
The upside of this is that Monkey Hooks are super handy and work really well in drywall. We had no trouble putting one in the wall with our bare hands.
The downside is that they only work on drywall, are a bit pricey and they seem like overkill if you are hanging a few small pictures.
We say - go buy some of these and have fun using them. But don't plan on having them totally replace the glorious OOKs picture hangers that we swear by. A complete toolbox will carry both.

The class will focus on painting from observation: still life, landscape, and the human figure. Projects will develop students' technical abilities and creative problem solving. Young artists will end the week with a series of paintings as well as preparatory studies demonstrating their growth in understanding paint as a material to create illusion, composition, scale and color. Impasto, underpainting, transparency and other experiments will be undertaken throughout the week!

Procrastrination? There is no such word in my dictionary. Everytime you decided to do something later it's called "strategic way of handling plans and schedules" :P
And even if snow can cripple the communication (happened just today :P) I still prefer to have it, rather than watch the gray and unattractive landscape.
My sister thinks it counts, and she also doesn't like ufimisms--like the time I was reading a book with my niece and she thought a fish was a "bisch". It was funny, until my sister got angry.
Art History sounds awesome. It's like creative writing's best friend. Well, I guess it's only awesome if you enjoy it. Do you? People think it's wierd how I compare nuances in anime art to comtempary and classical art; probably because I don't know much about art to begin with.
Wahoo! I finally finished finals about ten minutes ago; feels good though there is a lack of polish once again. Are you finished with finals already? If so, did they go alright? Well, talk to you later--after I perform a driveby frying panning on a certain over-possesive brother-in-law...
If there are any shows you like feel to give me a recs you might have.
I'm currently at UW Seattle but my parents live in the Columbia River Gorge area so I must travel down I-5 and east on I-84--it's already experienced a few closures. I also want to get my sister from Anacortes because her over-possesive husband doesn't want to come down until the 23rd or 24th. Overall, probably about 12-14 hours of driving if the weather sucks. Good choice on not trying the pass though, that might be dangerous. If I don't message you again I'm probably frozen on some back road somewhere.
That's interesting your housemate is a development psych major--babies became interesting for me when my oldest sister starting having kids. My sister would get mad if the kids walked in on me watching anime. I did get my niece interested in "Robots". Are you studying or working now? Both? I know you're not sticking with a terrible anime renting service, I wouldn't either even though anime is bleeding expensive.
- Later
p.s. Every has a dark side. Some like vampires, or heavy metal. My overly-religious sister swears in her head--very funny to me.
Haha, sorry if I read too much into your highest ranked anime--Evangelion, Geass,VK etc. I've been doing that a lot lately. I blame my sister because she's a psych major and always asks questions like "what does that mean?" even though she alredy knows. I want to give Skip Beat a try now that you've recommended it, but curse hanging endings. I'll defnitely give it a try after the holiday. Well, I've avoided homework and finding a new place to live long enough--talk to you later.
p.s. Any plans for the holiday? I must brave I-84 to get home.
I agree with Swaazy on Spice and Wolf: It's a great show that sets tone better than most I've seen. The show might not fit with your usual, darker tastes but with only twelve episodes it's worth a shot. Subtle craft in the dialoge and setting are also great elements of the show.
How's life otherwise? Watch any particularly good shows lately? I finally watched Spice and Wolf 2 last weekend at the sacrifice of an essay--worth it. I haven't gotten to any others yet because I still have to revise my story. Well, talk to you later.

On Tuesday 10th, we checked out of our Jaipur hotel and the nice staff asked how we were, concerned for Jayna's health after the sickness.

Decided to take a walk up to the Aguada fort along the beach at the end of the day, once it had cooled down a little bit. But first we stopped for a drink at a beach shack , about 5pm.

Amy Payne: So what is the 'fiscal cliff'?
With just a few weeks left in 2012, all eyes in Washington are on Capitol Hill and the "fiscal cliff" negotiations. As usual, Congress and the president are taking highly contentious issues down to the wire before cutting a deal – never a situation that ends well for taxpayers.
Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke coined the term "fiscal cliff" while urging Congress to avoid a steep drop off for the economy at the end of the year, thanks to tax increases and automatic budget cuts.
Here are some of the major components of the fiscal cliff:
Tax hikes are the centerpiece of the problem, as the largest tax increase in American history is scheduled to kick in on Jan. 1.
"Most of this massive tax increase stems from the expiration of the 2001 and 2003 tax cuts implemented under President George W. Bush," according to a research paper by The Heritage's Romnia Boccia, James Sherk and Katie Tubb. "There is also the payroll tax cut, the alternative minimum tax patch, and a host of other policies that expire at year's end. In addition, five of the 18 tax increases built into Obamacare are scheduled to go into effect. Families will bear the brunt of this tax increase among American households, with an average increase of over $4,100 in taxes."
Raising taxes on upper-income earners would affect the nation's most robust job creators among small businesses. The effects of this would be devastating to the economy. Congress should extend current tax policies for all Americans.
The fiscal cliff includes required cuts to defense spending. The cuts to America's defenses known as "sequestration" were never supposed to happen. They are kicking in because a congressional "super committee" failed to reach a deal on spending cuts after last summer's deal to raise the debt ceiling. Now these cuts are poised to gut military readiness because of a previous Washington negotiation gone wrong.
Medicare's finances are in grave trouble. Years ago, Congress decided to reduce Medicare spending by paying doctors less to treat Medicare patients. That was an unsustainable idea – and Congress realized it later. Every year, instead of allowing the automatic cuts to doctor pay, Congress has made a temporary patch called the "doc fix" that keeps payments coming – which helps delay substantial Medicare reform. Now, "Unless Congress patches together another doc fix agreement before Dec. 31, physicians will see a 27 percent decrease in pay, a situation that will make it unaffordable for many doctors to continue accepting Medicare patients," Heritage authors wrote.
Federal funding for extended unemployment benefits is also set to expire at the end of this year. Extending these benefits again is one of the issues on the fiscal cliff bargaining table.
Although the average length of unemployment is 40 weeks, these benefits are available for 73 weeks. In a rough economy, many people need unemployment benefits. But "extending benefits for too long encourages the unemployed to postpone job searches or hold out for something that may not be attainable."
Congress should set the benefits at a more realistic 52 or 60 weeks.
This is a complex set of problems that should not be glossed over in a hasty deal.

I highly recommend the book "Bitter Java" by Bruce Tate (published by Manning Publications). Someone gave me a copy to help me come to grips with a way of explaining things. However, I found this book a treasure trove of information. Bitter Java is about studying Antipatterns that are common in Java programming. He covers a wide range of issues from memory management to EJB design. There are antipatterns in Cache systems, Servlets, and more. In fact, I suggest that we follow the same pattern of representing ideas as Bruce Tate by giving anti-pattern and corrective pattern. It will help us get on the same page much quicker if we know what anti-pattern we are trying to correct with our new pattern. Cocoon would definitely benefit from understanding the anti-patterns surrounding how to use it. It is better to allow everyone to learn from your mistakes than be condemned to learn the same lessons over and over.

College-Bound Kerri
Transitioning myself and my diabetes successfully to college.
August 2006 — Brushing the sand off my Reefs last weekend and throwing my beach bag in the trunk of the car, it dawned on me that there are only a few weekends left in the summer. Slamming the trunk shut, I thought about my life a few summers ago, getting ready to move off to college for the first time.
After discussing my diabetes management with the college dean of admissions, it was decided that my diabetes supplies were to be kept in my dorm room in a lockable container, alleviating any fear of people stumbling across my syringes and lancets. It was the oddest Back-To-School shopping trip I had ever experienced. Of course, there were the standard clothes purchases and restocking of school supplies, but I was the only college newbie who made the hardware store an integral part of her preparation. My mom and I purchased the biggest red tackle box we could find and a padlock to go with it. It safely housed all of my supplies.
In addition to this tackle box, I also had a Tupperware container filled with low blood sugar reaction supplies. Fruit roll-ups, juice boxes, raisins, tubes of insta-glucose, peanut butter crackers … it was a potluck of fast-acting, just-in-case carbs. And there were cake gel tubes to treat lows stashed everywhere. I had one in every purse, in my testing kit, the bedside table, the bathroom. I looked like I had a bakery fetish.
Aside from my cache of snacks, there were a few other tricks up my sleeve. Tucked inside my wallet, right beside my license, was a medic alert card that read, "My name is Kerri Morrone. I have type 1 diabetes. If I appear disoriented or intoxicated, please allow me to test my bloodsugar as I may need sugar." I also had my trusty diabetes medic alert bracelet circling my wrist. Emergency contact numbers were pasted to my computer tower.
All of my diabetes accoutrements were in order. All I needed to do was start disclosing my condition to my new roommate and my new friends.
Growing up, everyone around me had always just known. They knew me growing up, before I was diagnosed, and they learned about the disease as I did. Diagnosed as a little kid, my mom took care of explaining everything to my friends' parents. "Kerri has diabetes. She tests her blood sugar and takes insulin. I brought some sugar-free peanut butter cups for when the other kids have dessert. If she looks a little lost, she might need some juice. Oh, and she talks incessantly. That has nothing to do with diabetes." There was no need for me to give a big explanation, as my mother made sure she took care of it.
But this.
This whole college thing. Whole different story. Here I was, thrust into an enormous state university where I didn't know my roommate or anyone who lived in my 300-person dorm, for that matter.
I barely knew this girl's name … how was I going to tell her that I had diabetes? How would she react to my red tackle box filled with syringes? Would she think it was weird to see my little army of white insulin boxes standing at attention in our dorm room fridge? What about if my blood sugar plummets and I need her to help me? For that brief moment, I panicked. How was I going to do this?
When I received my roommate contact information a few weeks before college started, I called my new roommate and introduced myself. We talked about where we were from, what bands we were listening to, and what we were majoring in. She told me she played the cello and would be practicing in the room sometimes. I told her I had diabetes and would be shooting up in the bathroom.
She laughed.
"Really? You take needles?"
"Yeah. I've had diabetes since I was a little kid. It's not a huge deal. All the needles and stuff will be locked up in a tackle box, so you'll probably never see them."
"That's cool."
The conversation gently shifted back to her music career and her life in upstate NY. I told her about my aspirations to be a writer. I breathed easier.
The summer ended and my first day as a college freshman loomed near. After a full day of moving all my stuff into the university dorms, my parents kissed me on the cheek and the door clicked shut behind them as they left. Me, a college freshman. I shook my head in disbelief as I started to unpack. Clothes in the closet. Tackle box on the bed. Books spilled out across my desk.
The door opened and my new roommate walked in, suitcases in hand.
She smiled. "I'm Julie." She paused and took note of the red tackle box on the bed.
"I'm ready to go fishing whenever you are."

As I mentioned in an earlier post, one of the benefits that made it cost-effective for me to go with the real healthcare (HSA) plan rather than the phony (HRA) plan is that my company is now covering "preventative" medicines at $0 copay. The formulary for these, as stated by CVS/Caremark (my pharmacy benefits provider), covers all test strips, lancets, and control solutions. I dutifully get my doctor to write up prescriptions for all of my testing needs, submit...

Ask Pastor Paul Paul: Spiritual Advice for the Real World.
Have a spiritual question, ethical dilemma or religious curiosity? Don't be shy! People of all backgrounds, ages and creeds are encouraged to submit questions to firstname.lastname@example.com.
Dear Pastor Paul,
Is there such a thing as karma? Have we lived in a previous life?
Dear Friend,
You've asked a couple of questions that are related but not the same. Living a previous life, or lives, involves re-incarnation, or re-birth; and while karma does apply to re-incarnation it can also be an operating principle within this life. I am not an adherent of a tradition that holds to these beliefs, but I know I have been spiritually enriched by learning about them!
An explanation of karma and rebirth requires a subtlety of knowledge I don't possess -- but we are in luck! Two friends, one Buddhist and one Hindu, have agreed to be our teachers and have offered some beautiful insight into your question.
Zesho Susan O'Connell, of the San Francisco Zen Center, explains re-incarnation, or as her tradition describes it, re-birth:
There is a range of understanding about re-incarnation -- from a concrete idea of some "personality" or "self" being sustained from one life and one body to a new body, to a more subtle idea of being re-born in every moment, to a more radical belief in which we understand that nothing is born and nothing dies.
Radhanath Swami who has an ashram and social service community in India offered this beautiful and helpful view of Karma:
Karma, is a natural law, like the law of gravity. What goes up must come down. In the Holy Bible it is taught, 'As ye sow, so shall ye reap.' 'For every action' Newton's third law of motion states, 'there is an equal corresponding reaction.' Or as you often hear said, 'What goes around comes around.'
If I cause pain to others, a corresponding pain will come back to me in due course. If I show compassion to others, resultant good fortune is inevitable. Although the principle of how the law of karma works is simple, the details of how it is working are often too intricate to comprehend. Eastern traditions teach that the soul (or living force within us) is eternal and returns in physical bodies according to our karma. However, acts in devotion to God liberate us from all karma.
The purpose of this knowledge is to urge us to take responsibility for the choices we make. There is little value in mere theoretical understanding or discussion unless we apply the spirit of the law to our lives. Just having a good map doesn't get us anywhere. We have to apply it. The essential purpose of all spiritual truths is to lead us into the joys of compassion and devotion. Proper understanding will soften the heart, not make it callous.
There are many resources online and books in your public library by Buddhists, Hindus and religious scholars that address issues of re-incarnation and karma and I encourage you to research further on your own.
Dear Pastor Paul,
Afterlife -- Why do we need one?
Dear Friend,
There may be a psychological component in our "need" for the afterlife. Some people who are disempowered in this life, and suffer hardship at the hands of the greedy and cruel may feel a "need" for the afterlife in hopes that it might create a reversal of fortunes that have plagued them here on earth and provide judgement on those who have oppressed them. The opposite could also be true - that one could be so in love with family or spouse that we cannot live with the thought of being forever cut off from them forever.
One hopes that as much as we are able, that we can create equanimity, equality and love on this life, so that people do not have to defer their dreams to the next.
However, for most people, the afterlife is not understood as a need, but rather as a conviction. Nobody can say for certain if there is or isn't an afterlife. So, ultimately, the question comes down to whether or not you believe that there is some continuation of any part of you after you die.
I happen to believe in an afterlife, yet I admit I do not have any clear notion of what that that after life will be. My belief and prayer is that I will be with God. But whether that "I" will be in a discrete self-aware form, or if I return, like a drop of water into a welcoming ocean, is something that will be revealed in time -- and hopefully not too soon.

Consumer privacy concerns are being taken up by app developers worried about government intervention. Recent disclosures of user data being collected without permission and murky details about who has access to it prompt the concern. "The message is that it is great that the government is involved, but app developers don't want for the government to decide how they should run their business," said Jules Polonetsky, director and co-chair of the Future of Privacy Forum in Washington.

Strategy Consultant
How I Can Help You Succeed As Your Business Strategy Consultant & Coach
If your business isn't as performing as well as you'd like and you've decided that it is time to review your business strategy then I'd like to explain how I can help as your strategy consultant or coach.
I've done this in a Q&A format which means there is a lot of focus on me rather than you.
You may prefer to go to pages I've written for business start-ups, young businesses and established businesses which explain how I can help in particular situations.
My Aim Is To Help You Decide If I Am The Right Strategy Consultant & Business Coach For You
I have the great fortune that I am a "one man business" and therefore I can't work with many clients at any one time, even if there are many businesses who want to review and update their competitive strategies.
My services are right for some business owners and managers who appreciate a high level of personal attention, care and service combined with a practical approach and in-depth knowledge of strategy.
My services are not right for others and in this section I've tried to give you the information needed to decide if they are right for you, or at least right enough for you to try a free telephone consultation.
If I have answered a key question (and you're based in the UK), then please email me at firstname.lastname@example.com
The Q&A's are below.
Why Does A Business Need To Focus On Its Strategy?
There are four common reasons why it's important to do a formal review of your business strategy:
- Your business isn't performing as well as you'd like – why try to work harder if the basic strategy isn't working?
- Competitors are causing trouble to your business by bringing out better or more advanced products and services or by slashing market prices.
- Customer needs and wants are changing or you think they will change in the near future and you're not sure how you should react.
- There are changes to the wider external environment that impact on your business and either create a new opportunity you want to take advantage of or create a threat to your existing business.
What Can A Strategy Consultant Do For Me?
As your strategy consultant and business coach, it is my job to guide you through the strategy process, helping you to focus on the important issues, stopping you from getting bogged down in unnecessary detail and helping you to move forward if you get stuck.
I'd love to be able to tell you that developing a winning strategy is a linear process where you do step 1, then step 2 and 3…
It isn't, even if others pretend that it is.
Strategy is about getting insight into how you can create competitive advantage over your competitors so that you can achieve your business goals. Big insights about what you want, customers, competitors and the external environment can all force you to go back and reassess what you've already done. It's a discovery process and you don't know what you'll find until you find it.
The gains from implementing a well considered strategy which creates competitive advantage are big. If it was easy, every one would be doing it and the potential gains would be much less.
Who Is A Suitable Strategy Consultancy & Coaching Client For You?
I work with entrepreneurs, business owners and small management teams to develop and strengthen the competitive advantages which help you to achieve superior performance.
I'm not interested in talking about strategy with little or nothing to show at the end. I want you to be committed to making changes in your business, which based on our work together, we believe will make your business more competitive and get better results.
I don't work with corporates any more. I grew tired of the politics and the multiple reasons for not taking action which is why I focus on independently owned SME's (small and medium sized enterprises) or SMB's (small and medium businesses) in the UK.
I'm happy to work with clients in the manufacturing, distribution, retail and service sectors. Not the public sector, charities or organisations like housing associations. I think in terms of increasing profit – it's in my blood and other objectives, although very worthy, don't fit my profit mindset.
I help:
- New Business Start-Ups
- Young Businesses Who Are Finding It Tough To Get Established
- Mature, Established Businesses Who Face New Competitive Problems
How Do You Define SME's & SMB's?
Small and medium sized enterprises (SME's) is UK government-speak for small and medium sized businesses (SMB's).
The Companies Act provides defines based on turnover, balance sheet values and employee numbers.
I find employee numbers the best guide for business size and officially they are:
Small business – up to 50 employees
Medium business – up to 250 employees
The scope of the strategy consultancy work needed is going to be partly influenced by the size of the business relative to the size of the market or niche within the market, since the bigger the market share you need, the more you will be affected by the wider environmental issues that affect the entire market.
I work with one person businesses upwards. The bigger the business, the more I need to believe there is entrepreneurial flair within the business to get things done.
The smaller the business, the more we both need to believe that the profit opportunities available to the business can justify the investment in my fees but we'll look carefully at that in the initial assessment meeting.
What Is Your Strategy Consultancy Style & Approach?
My style is fairly blunt and I prefer substance over style.
My clients tell me that working with me is interesting and fun.
If I think something needs to be said because it's in your interests, then I'll say it. To do otherwise would be a huge disservice but however carefully I choose my words, it may not be something you want to hear and it may even end our relationship but at least I can sleep at night knowing I've done my best for you.
My interest as a strategy consultant is very much competitive strategy and in particular competing with a differentiation strategy and a business model designed to deliver the key success factors and key differentiation factors consistently and cost effectively. I'm much less interested in corporate strategy (how you can get different business units to work together better) or the soft, fuzzy stuff like culture change.
My main intervention technique is through strategy coaching which is done by telephone/Skype with the business owner or members of the senior management team and can be delivered to clients throughout the UK. Take a look at my Differentiation Process.
While I will control the strategy process, you're the experts in your market and industry. The decisions are yours to make. I'll share my opinions and advice but our work together is about helping you to find a way to achieve your goals.
What's The Difference Between A Business Strategy Consultant & A Business Strategy Coach?
Professionals can get real hang-ups about titles like business strategy coach or strategy consultant when what really matters is the results that the clients achieve from working with a professional.
A consultant is often considered to be an expert whose main task is to advise while a coach helps you to find the answers yourself.
A consultant does (e.g. writes a research report) while a coach works through you, motivating you to take actions.
A consultant applies his or her expert knowledge to a problem with little knowledge transfer to you, a coach helps you to learn how to do it yourself.
To help explain the difference, let's briefly move from strategy to marketing.
A marketing consultant will write a marketing campaign for you and even manage all the activities. A marketing coach will help you to learn how to create an effective marketing campaign by working with you through an example so you do your own campaigns in future.
Returning back to strategy, I think the distinction between a strategy consultant and a strategy coach is much less clear.
Because strategy is everything you do in your business and it sets all the guiding policies, strategy isn't something you can delegate or outsource in its entirety. Working with a strategy coach or strategy consultant is inevitably a collaboration so there is significant overlap.
You and your managers have the detailed knowledge of your business, your customers and competitors. A strategy coach will help you to organise and analyse that knowledge so you can find insights. A strategy consultant may do the same or may also add external research into customers and competitors.
I try to be very flexible and give you the support you need. My focus is on helping you to achieve your goals.
What's The Difference Between A Strategy Coach & A Business Coach
If you've read my free report, The Profit Tipping Point, you'll know that there are five main pathways to profitability:
- The underlying attractiveness of your market
- The rivalry of competitors
- Your competitive advantages relative to the competition
- Your management, planning & control skills and abilities including sales, marketing, finance and operations
- Your inner game including motivation, priorities, commitment and time management
A strategy coach will focus on the first three, a general business coach will usually be much more tactical and concentrate on changes to pathways 4 and 5.
I believe having a strategy to differentiate your business makes a positive impact on all five profit pathways.
What Do You Think About Strategy Workshops?
Many strategy consultants run one day strategy workshops but I'm not a big fan of them because I think business strategy is much too important to be crammed into a day where the thinking can be too superficial.
Effective strategy needs time for ideas and insights to develop, for research to be done and for carefully considered decisions that the business can commit to achieving.
I don't believe that anyone wants to rush into a big change that will have a major impact on the way the business competes when it is implemented.
Strategy workshops can be useful to start the strategy process and to create enthusiasm and excitement for changing your business strategy.
If you'd like to work with me in a strategy workshop environment, then I recommend a series of half day workshops but they are only available if you are based in the Midlands or if you're prepared to travel to Birmingham.
Do You Provide Ongoing Strategic Support & Mentoring?
If you choose me as your strategy consultant and business coach and you want ongoing strategic support and you're willing to pay for it, then you've got it.
I believe that strategy isn't the plan, it's the plan and implementation which go hand-in-hand.
Again if you're in the Birmingham area, we can have monthly meetings otherwise it is by telephone.
I used to be opposed to any consulting or coaching help that wasn't based around a physical meeting but I was wrong. My clients and I have found that telephone coaching and consulting works very well.
How Much Do You Charge For Strategy Consulting & Coaching?
It depends on your business, the situation, who will be taking part in our work together and how much you need to do.
Most professional advisers like to pretend that fees and time taken are independent but ultimately we have to accept that as consultants and coaches, we are selling time and knowledge.
Have You Written Any Books On Strategy Or Differentiation That Explain Your Approach?
Not yet although I am thinking about it. I'm a prolific blogger as you'll see from this Differentiate Your Business blog and a bigger, more general Business Coaching blog which covers many management topics with a bias towards strategy and marketing.
If you want to read a strategy book to give you some background, then the three best books on strategy in my opinion are
Competitive Strategy by Michael Porter
Competitive Advantage by Michael Porter
Competitive & Corporate Strategy by Cliff Bowman & David Faulkner
All are fairly heavy texts written for the Business School market and for strategy specialists.
The book I recommend for small business owners who want an overview of strategy is actually about about turning around distressed businesses.
Turning A Business Around by Mark Blayney
It gives you an insight into the problems of what can happen if you don't pay attention to business strategy but also shows you the path forward. A turnaround is often a strategic change project where time and money are in short supply and the focus is first on cutting back to the core business and building that back up.
How Can I Find Out More About You & Your Business Strategy Services?
You can find out more about me and why I should be your strategy consultant on my About Me page.
I've also prepared special pages on my website that (hopefully) focus on your particular situation. these pages include offers of information and a free consultation provided you're based in the UK.
Established Business (more than 12 months old)
Young Business (less than 12 months old)
Business Start Up (thinking about starting or just started)
Alternatively email me at firstname.lastname@example.com if I have not missed one of your big questions or give me a call on 0121 554 4057 and we can talk about your particular situation and why you are considering hiring a strategy consultant to help you to focus on and improve your business strategy.
