BY ASHLEIGH HOULT, The Promo Donna & Sale Sistas
Picture this: You're back in the 1930s in Hollywood – the age of lavish glamour and sex appeal. It's a time where every man and woman is fighting for their chance to become the biggest and most predominant star in their area of specialty. You are a passionate and driven script writer, and have been working on one for months. The best you have ever written. This script would be gold for the studios! You've made your way to the MGM Studios to present to the producers. Even though you don't have a meeting, you are determined to make an impression. You walk swiftly, but nervously into the foyer and then over to the elevators. You breathe in deeply. The elevator door opens and there stands some of the producers. It's the chance of a lifetime, right there for your taking. But this chance is only going to last as long as the elevator ride – you're going to have less than a minute to make tell them about your Script and why they should use it.
This is where the concept of the Elevator Pitch originated from – script writers would flock to the foyers of big studios back in the day, attempting to sell their script to the producers in the elevators. The catch was that they only had around 5-10 seconds to be able to sum up the unique aspects of this script, in a way that excited others!
For Business Owners and Sales people today, mastering the art of making an effective 'Elevator Pitch' has become just as much of a fundamental skill. Yet many executives pay little attention to the continuing development of "the elevator pitch" and just how to make it connect with their audience.
On the site www.elevatorpitchessentials.com the definition they provide is as follows "An elevator pitch is an overview of an idea, product, service, project, person, or other Solution and is designed to just get a conversation started." And I totally agree with this. Whilst the elevator pitch is a sales tool is essence, more importantly it should be seen as a teaching tool to those who will appreciate it. What many sales people tend to forget in their desperate search to close more deals is that there is no point in trying to deliver a spiel and closing a deal if the audience doesn't understand what you are talking about and why they should care.
The most important thing about putting together an effective Elevator Pitch is understanding your offering/proposition in relation to your prospects and their situations.
You must have a good strategic appreciation of the issues faced by your prospect in relation to how you introduce the services to them. This is an absolutely fundamental requirement when putting together your Elevator Pitch. The prospective customer has a very keen sense of what is important to them and what is not – and if you fail to acknowledge this in your opening then your cold call go no further.
You must keep in mind that the people you are pitching to are also going to be extremely busy. Just like you, they have too many things to do and too little time to get them done. That means that they must constantly – and quickly – decide what to pay attention to and what to ignore.
As a result, you must come up with a way of explaining your product/service that will grab the attention of someone who has a million things on their mind. Above all else, you must get to the point!
If you can 'KISS' your pitch and make it exciting and relevant to your audience, it should give them just enough information about your offer and will have them wanting more. When questions about your services start coming through from your prospects, you know you will have mastered the art of the construction of an effective Elevator Pitch.

The UK's Newest Holiday Honors Princess Diana On the 20th Anniversary of Her Death
Marking the 20th anniversary of Princess Diana's 1997 death, the U.K. is instating a new holiday in her remembrance: National Kindness Day.
Celebrating her mission of kindness, the Diana Award, an organization founded in 1999, plans to honor her life's work through a year-long series of events, ELLE reports. The Diana Award looks to recognize young people aged 9-18 across the world who are creating positive change in their communities by selflessly looking to transform the lives of others.
"Carry out random acts of kindness, with no expectation of reward, safe in the knowledge that one day someone might do the same for you," the organization's website states, quoting the late princess.
Nominations are being accepted until March 17, and eligibility depends on vision, service journey, social impact, inspiration to others, being involved for a minimum of 12 months in whatever professional capacity to one cause, and more.
The Diana Award is also recognized as a charity that runs many anti-bully campaigns and this year will be rewarding 20 youths with a new Legacy Award.
In addition to all the events planned and the launch of a new app, a Diana memorial garden will be created in Kensington Palace.

What Subject Do I Like Best Essay
What Subject Do I Like Best
In school, of all the classes I have to take, I like P.E. most. Why? There are three simple reasons why I love it: there is no homework, it helps me stay healthy, and last, it is quite relaxing to learn.
First, the homework part, for me, it's a dream comes true when there's no homework for me to do. I am kind of obsessed with homework. I open my eyes thinking about homework, I eat thinking about homework, I even take a bath thinking about homework. So it'd be nice to have at least one subject that doesn't require my thinking about homework. And that's the first reason why I like physical education.
Second, about the true value of this subject, it helps us me stay strong. Obviously, P.E. helps us improving our health. Students are very careless about their own good by doing things that harm them in the way that they don't know, such as: sitting in front of the computers for hours, watching television for much too long, and many more. Those are the habits that are quite hard for children to change. And that's when P.E. comes into place. It make us do workouts, prevent us from getting out of shape and of course, no one wants to be fat because of one simple reason: you won't look attractive to other people and maybe that special someone is one of those "people".
And last but not least, there's absolutely no pressure learning this subject. You don't have to pay much attention when studying. There's almost nothing too complicated about P.E. compare to other classes like Math, Physics, Chemistry… and so that's the last reason I like this.
Subject: Psychology,

You've hit on one of my favorite topics, as well as a man who redefines the word "hero", yet practically nobody knows him:
Forgotten Benefactor of Humanity
(Norman) Borlaug is an eighty-two-year-old plant breeder who for most of the past five decades has lived in developing nations, teaching the techniques of high-yield agriculture. He received the Nobel in 1970, primarily for his work in reversing the food shortages that haunted India and Pakistan in the 1960s. Perhaps more than anyone else, Borlaug is responsible for the fact that throughout the postwar era, except in sub-Saharan Africa, global food production has expanded faster than the human population, averting the mass starvations that were widely predicted -- for example, in the 1967 best seller Famine -- 1975! The form of agriculture that Borlaug preaches may have prevented a billion deaths.

French Broad Chocolate
French Broad Chocolates of Asheville has collaborated with Riverbend Malthouse to bring you their Malted Milk Chocolate: a dark milk chocolate featuring Riverbend's Heritage barley malts, locally milled by community grain miller, Carolina Ground. To create this chocolate, they toast the malted barley, and grind it with a blend of Peruvian and Guatemalan cacaos, and organic milk powder. This chocolate has a creamy, malty flavor, with aroma of nutmeg and cinnamon. It might bring you back to your youth, when 'malt' meant a light, chocolaty milkshake.
Cacao and coffee are the ultimate compadres; two seeds in a pod. They hail from a common latitude (though cacao prefers lower altitudes). Their post-agricultural processes are uncannily similar: both are seeds of a tropical fruit, fermented, dried at origin, and carefully roasted to bring out their unique flavor profiles. They're both stimulating, and have made an indelible impression on our world culture. With this bar, French Broad Chocolates of Asheville seeks to feature the natural ease with which these two foods marry. In this chocolate, Cacao Bisiesto's Nicaraguan cacao contributes a deep, chocolatey base, while Mountain Air's coffee offers a mild fruit layer over caramel. And coffee...lots of coffee...
Salt affects flavor in curious ways, thanks to the tricky flavor receptors in our brain. It subdues some flavors, and enhances others. The salt suppresses the bitter, which in turn allows greater perception of sweet and sour. Paired with the right cacao, salt can be another tool for manipulating the flavor of the chocolate French Broad Chocolates of Asheville creates. Clean, mineral salt tempers the bitterness of a 75% chocolate made with Nicaraguan cacao, while complementing a flavor profile of buttered biscuits and black coffee. The delicate flakes of salt offer a pleasant crunchy texture contrasted with smooth chocolate.

From Social Justice Warriors and Antifa, to police departments and government worldwide, Free speech is ironically falling upon deaf ears. On one hand, with the Social Justice Warriors, they try to mandate that others are restricted from using certain words in situations that may "offend" individuals. They go so far to the extreme that they actually label offensive language as assault. Where as, Antifa, especially in America, seem to be using physical violence to attack anyone who speaks their mind that doesn't agree with their agenda.
Now, that may seem out there past left field, but lets look at the opposite side of the political spectrum. We have the conservatives who say they praise free speech, that is unless that speech is negative towards police, soldiers, religious figures or basically anything else they worship in their day to day lives. Do you begin to see the hypocrisy of it all?
For example, I myself have recently been silenced on Facebook, specifically on my local Sheriff office's Facebook page. There was no reason given and i had not violated their rules or Facebook's terms of services, they simply blocked me, which deleted every comment i ever made over the past 4 years on their Facebook page.
Now, sadly, most of the community that supports them hails these things as great triumphs for whatever mission they have envisioned in their minds. As long as only those they agree with have a voice then they are pleased. This is where total hypocrisy comes into play.
Conservatives love to praise the "Laws of the land" and the constitution and claim to be law abiding citizens, yet when there is a government run by individuals they consider their people, they are perfectly content on allowing their government to break the supposed laws that their government is suppose to uphold. At the same time, they condemn groups like Black Lives Matter for standing up for the supposed rights they praise so much.
I have come to the conclusion that all political ideologies in America, and across the globe, believe that rights only belong to those that agree with their ideologies, anyone outside of that is ostracized for standing up for the exact same rights they praise.
You may consider the left as social justice warriors, but i point out that all side of the political spectrum appear to be their own versions of social justice warriors, always trying to enforce laws and manipulate society to follow their beliefs in all social interactions in life.
People need to wake up, think for themselves and diverge from this mob mentality that is the political spectrum.

Metallic fuels for advanced reactorsFunded under: FP7-EURATOM
In the framework of the Generation IV Sodium Fast Reactor Program, the Advanced Fuel Project has conducted an evaluation of the available fuel systems supporting future sodium cooled fast reactors. This paper presents an evaluation of metallic alloy fuels. Early US fast reactor developers originally favored metal alloy fuel due to its high fissile density and compatibility with sodium. The goal of fast reactor fuel development programs is to develop and qualify a nuclear fuel system that performs all of the functions of a conventional fast spectrum nuclear fuel while destroying recycled actinides. This will provide a mechanism for closure of the nuclear fuel cycle. Metal fuels are candidates for this application, based on documented performance of metallic fast reactor fuels and the early results of tests currently being conducted in US and international transmutation fuel development programs.

How to Clean a Cowboy Hat. Cleaning a cowboy hat is often needed to maintain a nice appearance. The way to clean a cowboy hat depends of the type of material the hat is made of. The more expensive cowboy hats are usually made of felt. Others may be made of straw.
Items you will need
- Cornstarch
- Soft bristle brush
- Soft, barely damp towel
- Make-up sponge or art gum eraser
- Very fine sandpaper
- Whisk broom
How to Clean a Felt Cowboy Hat
Sprinkle a little cornstarch on any stains on the felt cowboy hat and let it set for a few hours.
Brush the cowboy hat very gently with a soft bristle brush. In addition, you may use a soft, barely damp towel to rub the cowboy hat in a circular, counterclockwise motion.
Try using a small make-up sponge or an art gum eraser to blot the stain, if the brush or damp towel does not remove the dirt or stain.
Rub gently the areas with difficult stains and dirt with an extremely fine grade of sandpaper.
How to Clean a Straw Cowboy Hat
Brush the straw cowboy hat gently with an ordinary whisk broom to remove any loose dirt or dust.
Wipe the hat very carefully with a soft, barely damp towel if there is still dirt or dust on your straw cowboy hat.
Try using a small make-up sponge to blot the stain or an art gum eraser to gently rub on the stain, if the brush or damp towel does not remove it.
Store your cowboy hats in appropriate sized hatboxes to protect them from dust, dirt and being crushed. The best way to clean a cowboy hat is to take your cowboy hat to a hat restorer or western wear hat store for a more professional cleaning.

The neck thing dragged on for three days. I can't warn you enough about the dangers of sleeping.
Tonight I made my return to the tennis court. The wrist feels ok, so hopefully that's sorted. I was hitting like shit after 3 weeks out, but was rather pleased with my fitness. We played for 2 hours, a mixture of drilling and points started with a feed rather than serve. This makes everything much faster, and you hit probably 3-4 times more balls than you would when playing sets, plus longer rallies. At the end I felt pretty much like I do after an Insanity warm up; fresh as a daisy compared to the other bloke. I've lost a little court sharpness from not playing, but there were also a handful of sprints for short balls where I either ran it down, or would have if my anticipation had been better.
So return to the court and returns being seen. Nice.

Get info about Orange County Community College softball schedule, and registering for elective seminars and discussion sections. Not all recruiting is done like NCAA Division I teams. Coaches are going to be more drawn to players who display genuine interest in their program throughout the recruitment process. Finally, check with your major department for assistance with prerequisites, tuition payment deadlines, and Orange County Community College Softball information. Please use the form above to request admissions info for Orange County Community College.
Stay in great shape, even through the off-season. Being physically fit includes knowing about nutrition, staying healthy, and not overworking your body before big games. Practice the basics, over and over, especially targeting skills related to your position. Become a super-specialist, and you'll always find your place on an athletic team. Keep your eyes on the ball, and sacrifice your body if you must, but don't drop the ball.
Watch the ball all the way into your hands, and get a good initial grip. Your sixth sense needs to be developed to stay aware of other players at the same time. Follow the advice that college coaches give you, and it will make a big difference in how you play. That's because most college coaching staff were star players at some point in their careers. Castleton State tennis courts may indicate that it's an option to delay college entrance by a year. An extra year in high school or prep school can allow players to mature mentally, bring grades and SAT test scores up, put on weight and gain strength. Beyond consideration for Orange County Community College softball schedule, you may think about University of Alabama symposium for complementary electives to your primary course of study.

Skip to comments.Coal fireplace vs. space heaters vs. steam --tenant question
Posted on 10/10/2012 7:17:05 AM PDT by Feline_AIDS
Hey Freepers,
Once again I come to you with questions. This time it's about heating my apartment. I'm the tenant. State is SC.
I am renting an apartment that is part of a divided house. I live on the top floor. My apartment has 2 coal fireplaces that have obviously not been used for a long time. They are back to back in 2 different rooms, so they share a chimney.
The apartment downstairs had fireplaces in the same spots (same chimney), but a previous tenant removed the mantel on one and closed up the hole (not sure about materials used).
The house had an old boiler, but it was always messing up (my first 2 years living there). The people that worked on it finally said they wouldn't touch it anymore because it was too dangerous. (Great!) So the owners installed a brand new, $15,000 boiler in the basement. It wouldn't work at all because the radiators needed to be bled. All steam hammers and no heat. Another winter passed, and I had no heat except a space heater they provided.
Then the heat worked beautifully (1 year). Enter the moron that ruins everyone's fun: the new girl downstairs. The temperature was controlled by the steam allowed into each radiator because the thermostat had essentially been turned off. (Did I mention all of this $15,000 boiler upgrade was done under the table by a family friend of the owner?) So if you wanted a room to be cooler, you would turn the knob on the bottom of the radiator and limit or close off the intake of steam. But on her radiator, the knob was missing. She needed a wrench. So I loaned her one. She claimed it wouldn't work and she had already complained to the landlord that the heat was broken again. She moved out soon after.
So what does the landlord do? The landlord says enough is enough and he's sick of paying our heating bill in the first place (one of the greatest draws of the apt, second to location).
They install these http://www.lg.com/us/air-conditioners/lg-LW7010HR-window-air-conditioner in all the places where there were older window air conditioners before.
This, they say, is going to be our source of heat and cooling. Initially it was called a "backup" in case the boiler quit again. But surprise! Once it actually got cold, they refused to turn on the boiler.
This product indicates that it has "energy saving" properties, as well as "temperature control." Both of these claims are misleading. This is an airconditioner with a space heater included.
The temperature can be set for the airconditioning, and when the energy saver mode is on, the unit turns itself off (except for the digital temperature numbers on the front) and comes on as needed to maintain the temperature in the room. This should work for the heat too, right? Nope.
When you turn the heat on, you still have to choose a temperature, but the energy saving option is disabled. This means that the unit stays on continuously and blows the air at whatever temperature you choose. This doesn't mean that the room stays that temperature, though. If you tell it to heat to 75, for example, the room will become stifling after a time because the heat source is never reduced.
I thought maybe mine were broken--that I was supposed to have energy saving options--so I called LG. I asked the representative the same question in about 45 different ways, and he told me that no, this unit would never cycle on and off when on the heat setting. It will stay on and produce one temperature air continuously.
In other words, I can't control the temperature of the house unless I'm there to adjust it in the winter. I could leave the unit on, I suppose, but the house would be very hot when I returned because the heat builds and builds. It also seems unsafe with all this old wiring.
Every winter day I come home to a cold house to see my dog shivering to death. And she's wearing a fur coat.
So my question is: Is this legal?
I have no way to set a thermostat to have heating elements maintain that temperature unless I use my standalone space heater which has this function, which was actually bought by the landlords when the first boiler had to be replaced in the dead of winter.
I called the building inspector's office, and talked to a woman who seemed to indicate that a landlord had to supply a thermostat control that would provide a "base of heat." I submitted an anonymous request for the building to be inspected, but nothing ever happened.
I wonder if the inspector did come and a) no one was home, b) he saw the temperature read out and thought that was more than it actually is, or c) the joke's on me for expecting this kind of bureaucracy to ever work in my favor.
There's nothing in my lease about the fireplaces. I want to call a chimney sweep and have him inspect and clean them if needed and fire up some coal!
As you might imagine, a house old enough to have coal fireplaces (1900?) has no insulation and enough cracks and crevices to build a crack house. Running space heaters with no temperature control is... uh... expensive. Not to mention cold (because I can't leave them on).
The best outcome: the landlords turn the boiler back on.
After spending ~$5,000 for 12 of the above units to force us to pay for our own heat (they hate us, obviously), they don't want to have to start paying for heat again. I honestly think the people who installed them were morons, because they thought that the remote had a temperature sensor in it. Then they told me that all the remotes were interchangeable. That doesn't add up, fellas. The owners thought this was the perfect solution to make us pay for our heat. (I guess we're just screwed if/when the power goes out.)
I'm leaving SC in the spring, so moving isn't an option now.
So, freepers, what would you do if you were in my position? As always, thanks in advance for your help.
What do you pay per month? What is the heating cost per month you have to pay now? Move if that's too much for you. You're leaving anyway. Paying a buttload to keep from moving isn't good economics....
Move out now.
You can find short term housing at a motel or hotel and keep your sanity.
I couldn't really follow what you said, but I would guess that if you light a fire in that old chimney, the place will burn down (you didn't mention a lining).
We use this since the kids aren't in the house. We only really need our bedroom, bathroom and kitchen area toasty and in Texas it isn't like it's crazy cold all the time.
It does cut off, too.
If you don't need both window units remove one.
Close up the fireplaces and pur clear plastic kits over the windows.
Use the space heater when you are out (MAKE SURE IT IS SECURE FROM THE PETS) and when you sleep.
Do you have a lease? It may say landlord pays heat since he did at first.
You have a heat source.... that's the good news.
What we used to do back in the old days when I lived in an apartment with a similar problem in OH is open the window in the winter.
If you pay for electricity it's a crappy solution but at least you kinda control the temp.
Best fix would be to get a thermostat wired into the LG heaters IMO.
Do you have more than one of the units?
Sounds complicated. Maybe a letter (less detailed than your post) to the landlord with a deadline date by which they must resolve the heat problem, or you will report them to whatever agency should care. Cite the specific section of the lease, or a highlighted photocopy of the lease, and/or any local ordinances, which indicate that the landlord is responsible for the heat. A nice sweater for your dog?
Is it that the landlord pays for heat, but you pay for electricity? So running space heaters is an expense for you, not the landlord?
Have you talked to other tenants to see how they are resolving this?
If it were me, I would stop paying rent until the heating issue is fixed.
I had a lease that said the landlord provided heat, but they arbitrarily decided to rewrite it without heat and raise my rent last year.
I THINK that they have to provide a method of heating that is controlled by a thermostat, which I do not have. I also think this requirement might have to do with it being a multi-family dwelling and not a stand alone, single family unit.
Every time I call the city, they have no idea that this house has 5 separate units in it...
I have three of the window units.
Space heaters are not intended as sole heat sources. Aging building wiring and space heaters cause fires daily across the country in the winter time. This is one reason new construction requires arc-fault circuit breakers, especially in bedrooms.
As mentioned, live in a motel till spring, life is short enough already, no need to make it shorter.
If your lease included the landlord paying for the heat, and that was not changed, then the landlord is not fulfilling their part of the contract.
Your recourses are:
1. Move claiming breach of contract. The burden will be on you to get back your deposit etc.
2. Withhold rent, based on breach of contract.
3. Withhold last, two-months rent, subtracting out the cost of heating and your deposit.
I am a landlord, and I would not do what you have described to any of my tenants. A contract goes two ways. When I had an A/C go bad, I had a new $5000 unit in place within 24 hours.
To be blunt, the place sounds like an explosion or fire waiting to happen. If it were me — I'd put whatever I didn't absolutely need into storage and move somewhere else NOW for the remaining time you're in the state.
Tried both of these.
Finally wrote them a letter reminding them they had to heat the place or else I'd call the city, and the landlord's response was quote "Why are you doing me like this?"
They evicted one guy who stopped paying his rent until it was fixed.
The other tenants are cold, too, but they're afraid of eviction and need the place for the location. They also don't know that they can have reliable heat from the boiler because they're newer to the place.
Local building code in Ga does not require a thermostat controlled heat source, SC is likely the same.
The only requirement is a heat source capable of heating the living space to a minimum temp of 68 degrees in winter. Sounds like you have that already.
On your coal fireplaces, do not use. Coal produces H2SO4 when it burns and this eats away at the grouting and cement work in the chimney. At least it will need relining before any attempt to use, cost these days on that kind of work is quite high. Between the risk of carbon monoxide poisoning and setting the hidden structure on fire, that coal FP should not be used.
I agree! That's one of the reasons I'm reluctant to leave anything running while I'm gone. The new boiler has automatic shutoffs and all sorts of safety features.
The fireplaces will draw the heat up the chimney and pull cold air in through every crack and crevice in the house. The coal will also stink up the neighborhood and you may get complaints from neighbors. If you do use it you will only get radiant heat and the rest will go up the chimeny.
What kind of cooking stove do you have? Electric or Nat Gas? You can use the nat gas stove as a heater but you need to beware of CO if you do it. If on propane or natural gas, you can hook into it with a small non-vented space heater, depending on your city codes.
I live in an old house on natural gas and have several space heaters. There is enough air leaking in to prevent CO poisoning.
I will always have a natural gas or propane system as when an ice storm knocks out all the electricity it also takes out the central heat as the fans in it run on electricity.

Bella is a sweet and gentle mare. I bought her as a rescue, but I am going to college next year and no longer have the time to devote to her. She is up to date on shots, has a negative coggins test, she is healthy, her feet are trimmed every six weeks and she doesn't wear shoes. She is a very fast learner and has had a western saddle on her a few times as well as being bridled. She still needs training to ride, but would be a wonderful trail/pleasure horse if someone had the time to work with her.
Please contact me for more details.
Has a little difficulty loading, but not extreme. Easy to unload. She has ridden in a trailer twice since I've had her. I board her in MN and would be willing to handle shipping in the area.

India officially the Republic of India is a country in South Asia. It is the seventh-largest country by geographical area, the second-most populous country with over 1.2 billion people, and the most populous democracy in the world.
Bounded by the Indian Ocean on the south, the Arabian Sea on the south-west, and the Bay of Bengal on the south-east, it shares land borders with Pakistan to the west;[d] China, Nepal, and Bhutan to the north-east; and Burma and Bangladesh to the east. In the Indian Ocean, India is in the vicinity of Sri Lanka and the Maldives; in addition, India's Andaman and Nicobar Islands share a maritime border with Thailand and Indonesia.
India is the seventh largest country in the world. The country's official name, India is derived from the Old Persian version of Sindhu, the historic local appellation for the river Indus. The Constitution of India and general usage also recognises Bharat, which is derived from the Sanskrit name of an ancient Hindu king, whose story is to be found in the Mahabharata, as an official name of equal status.
A third name, Hindustan, or land of the Hindus in Persian, was used from Mughal times onwards, though its contemporary use is unevenly applied due to domestic disputes over how representative it is as a national signifier.
The Indian economy is the world's tenth-largest by nominal GDP and third-largest by purchasing power parity (PPP). Following market-based economic reforms in 1991, India became one of the fastest-growing major economies; it is considered a newly industrialised country. However, it continues to face the challenges of poverty, illiteracy, corruption, and inadequate public healthcare. A nuclear weapons state and a regional power, it has the third-largest standing army in the world and ranks ninth in military expenditure among nations.
India is a federal constitutional republic governed under a parliamentary system consisting of 28 states and 7 union territories.
