This very simple macro in Personal.xlsb is driving me crazy!
I want to paste a previously selected and copied range at the current position as values. The range will seldom be the same as previously, and the position where it will be posted will be random too.
The code is: ...
I am using the following code and I'm getting a Run-time error '1004' error. When I reconstruct the macro one line at a time and run the macro between adding each new line - no error. After reconstructing the macro in its entirety, I can run it once with no error. However, if I try to run it again immediately after that, I get the error and I keep getting the error every time I run it from there on. I dont understand how it can work once and then stop working. Here is the full

I lost 2 days trying to discover the bug in my program, but I coudn't find the right answer.
How can I activate the AutoFilter to show me the rows selected with "YES" ?
This is the code... The compiler stops always at the command Selection.AutoFilter.
I found the following code on your forum, but get the following error:
Run time error '1004'. Autofill method of Range class failed.
The error occurs when the spreadsheet either have 1 row of data completed or no data, can I get code to ignore the autofill when I only have 1 row or no rows completed in various spreadsheets. I have attached a copy of the spreadsheet.
I have a userform that allows the user to view, modify or delete individual records (rows) of a worksheet in a workbook. If a particular item in a record is modified, a check occurs to ensure that the values for that item remain unique. All of that works exactly the way I need. The breakdown occurs when the records are then autosorted by a the values in a particular column. After the autosort, another column of values is copied and pasted to a different worksheet within the same workbook. For this to work properly, I must have the userform open along with the worksheet containing the records. If the userform is open with any other worksheet open, I get the following VBA error message "Run-time Error '1004' : Slect method of Range class failed". I need to be able to open the userform with any worksheet active and not experience this error when the autosort, copy/paste occurs. This is the code for the user form, the module for autosort, copy/paste and checking for unue values.
This is the sub in the worksheet with the records

The user opens the file that contains this macro, then runs a report from a website that dumps into an excel file. They copy the data from the Book1 output, then click the button to paste it into the template. If done this way, it works fine.
However, if they run the report and get Book1 THEN open the file containing the macro, they get a run-time error 'PasteSpecial method of Worksheet class failed' on the 'ActiveSheet.PasteSpecial... line

I found the following for something that I was searching for on the web.
Selection.Columns.PasteSpecial Paste:=8
My question is two fold, 1) What does the '8' mean? 2) Is there someplace that tells me what other numbers for PasteSpecial mean?
This solved a problem that I had when trying to do a PasteSpecial for Column Width. What I had been trying was the following:
Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlColumnWidths, Operation:=xlNone, _

i added a "Microsoft office spreadsheet 11.0 " object using additional control and used it in my form of Excel Macro. then i added some data from the combo box to the embedded excel object dispalyed. the form displays correctly and am even able to add data to cells.

The macro I'm writing (Excel 2010) is a loop that inserts a column based on a variable location, enters in a formula in the first cell, enters another formula in cell 2, then should fill that second formula to the last row, then keep going until the loop ends. There is always a chance that there will be blank cells to the left and right so I didn't use xldown. I've tried writing in multiple ways, but I keep getting the error.

I have written some code to move data from one sheet to another. Since the from sheet has formulas, I use the PasteSpecial command. I have used code like this for years, and all the sudden, this starts breaking. And, here is the fun part, I run the code and it works sometimes. I never know when it will fail. It is so random. This is killing me. I have tried to create objRange object and assign them and it works sometime and fails others. Also, I tried adding the line Worksheets("Daily Dashboard"). Range ("C72").Select before the first PasteSpecial as to select the cell first before pasting. Then I get the "Select method of range class failed".
Lastly, I tried copying the code from behind a worksheet into a new module. The code is triggered by a button on the first worksheet. Still fails.

I am trying to autofill a range of cells in column L (12). I first copy the formula and add an equal to (=) sign to it. then this is copied to cell L14 (The first cell of the intended range).

After this I use the Autofill option but I get an error.

I am trying to build a macro which will format the columns of a spreadsheet - basically it inserts some columns, writes formulas and highlights them. Here is a code I have got so far...
When I try to run this I get a run time error 1004 - Method 'Range' of 'Object'_Global' failed. The part of the code
Range("N2:N").FormulaR1C1 = "=(RC[-7]/RC[-2])"
is highlighted in the debugger.
Can anyone tell me why this is happening, also it would be great if you could suggest better ways of writing this code - as I am new to vba programming and most of my macros are built using the recorder and then 'working' on them.
I have an interesting error that only happens when there is one row of data in the worksheet (sheet2 or "Half Payout"). Rows 1 & 2 are headers, row 3 is when the data starts - if any. With either no rows of data or more than one the coding works just fine. Here is the exact error message I'm getting: Run-time error '1004': Method 'Range' of object '_Worksheet' failed.
The following code is supposed to sort the rows of data when opened and then activate the first open cell below B2.
I am trying to create a macro in my personal macro book such that whenever any workbook is opened the calculation settings (tools, options, calculation tab) are set to semiautomatic and do not calculate before save. The macro works when I am opening Excel itself (Book1) but when I open an already saved file it gives me
Run-time error '1004'
Method 'Range' of object'_Global' failed
From there I choose Debug, the VBE window comes up, and I hit F5 to continue the code without doing any actual debugging. Here is the code that I am using. This is in the Personal Macro book on the "This Workbook" section....
this is some real simple code but for some unkown reason it keeps failing on me..
Sheets("All Work").Select
Sheets("All Work").Select
The second Cells . select doesnt work for some reason when i attach it to a button on the work sheet and i get the message
"runtime error "1004"
select method of range class failed"
but when i run just the macro it all goes smooth.
I am trying to filter and copy from masterlist to wholesalecertified. The data is actually pasted to WholesaleCertified, however, I got error 1004.

BBC Radio 3 New Generation Artist, Thibaut Garcia, joins BBC NOW to play Joaquin Rodrigo's beautiful classic for guitar and orchestra: Concierto de Aranjuez. The Spanish melody is perfumed with roses and magnolia trees, but it is tinged with sadness in light of the personal tragedy which compelled Rodrigo to write the piece. In the second half of the concert, Tchaikovsky skilfully evokes the notion of fate in his fifth symphony.

Somewhere in its dark, anguished, brooding belly, Zack Snyder's Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice has some interesting ruminations on what it means to be a hero and if one can act heroic unilaterally or if there must be some sort of check on power. Can Batman serve as judge, jury, and executioner on the criminals of Gotham City? Can Superman go into a warzone and take out a warlord? Sadly, these fascinating questions are buried beneath the debris of a convoluted, horribly written story featuring poorly written characters making inexplicable choices. It doesn't matter who wins in Batman v Superman because the audience loses either way.
To give you an idea of the unrelenting darkness we're about to endure, the movie opens with the funeral for the young Bruce Wayne's parents before we cut to the Battle of Metropolis and an adult Bruce Wayne (Ben Affleck) rushing to his building to try and save the day (how exactly he planned to do that isn't explained). Instead, he can only watch and feel powerless as he sees the city destroyed in the brawl between Superman (Henry Cavill) and Zod (Michael Shannon). Cut to 18 months later and a strange rock has turned up in the Indian Ocean and the movie becomes a fractured narrative that haphazardly jumps between Batman trying to investigate LexCorp, the hyperactive Lex Luthor (Jesse Eisenberg) working to obtain access to the downed Kryptonian ship and the Kryptonite from the Indian Ocean, Superman trying to do good when some of the world views him with distrust, and a mysterious woman a.k.a. Wonder Woman (Gal Gadot) with her own agenda.
The movie drags through its first hour as it carefully tries to set up the individual conflicts, and yet the only character it seems to actually develop is Bruce Wayne. Unfortunately, it develops him into the worst Batman we have ever seen. Affleck gives a devoted performance; it's the character on the page that's utterly despicable. Snyder's Batman is a straight-up murderer who is completely at ease with branding criminals knowing that the brand is a death sentence in prison for those who receive it. He's also extremely paranoid of Superman, and rather than try to find the peaceful solution, Batman's instinct is to respond with force. In Snyder's hands, Batman is nothing more than a sophisticated thug with a fancy set of toys.
He's also a pawn in Lex Luthor's plans. The two may as well be unwitting allies, but the movie takes Lex's interesting POV from some of the best Superman comics—that Superman is a legitimate threat and we should be wary—and gives it to Batman, leaving Lex's motives far thinner and sillier. Instead of being a genius who sees Superman as a serious risk, Luthor is reduced to a petty, arrogant, whiny atheist who just wants to kill a god figure. It doesn't help that Eisenberg's performance is pitched at an 11, and what's meant to come off as anti-social instead plays as overly caffeinated.
When it comes to Superman, Snyder is still at a loss with what to do with the character. He seems completely unable to relate to anything human in the character, and keeps us viewing the Man of Steel at a distance. There's an entire scene where talking heads on news programs pontificate about what Superman means to the world, but there's scarcely anything of Superman himself wrestling with his place in it. Yes, he's upset that his efforts to do good aren't met with universal acclaim, but the movie also keeps him more removed than ever. He may stand for due process and saving Lois Lane (Amy Adams) whenever she needs it, but he's still a character in search of a moral compass, which I suppose happens when your mom (Diane Lane) says things along the lines of "Save the world. Or don't. Whatever."
The one character who comes off as remotely likable is Wonder Woman, and that's because she seems like the only person who is happy to be in this movie. Snyder has mistaken "seriousness" for the absence of joy, but a movie can have heart and even humor while still being serious. Seriousness comes from stakes, and Batman v Superman bends over backwards to create them and still turns out to be a complete and utter mess that relies on coincidence and senseless actions.

McCain, GOP and their roaring bunch of yahoos further insult the intelligence of the average American at RNC.
It's a move that clearly illustrates how much contempt the Republicans have for the American citizenry and just how worthless and incompetent John McCain would be as a world leader. To go to freaking Alaska and put this isolated, delusional, backwards, inbred, bible-thumping, moose trapper on the national ticket takes big giant, freaking, old man balls.
In the same week an ice chunk the size of Manhattan breaks off from the Arctic and is melting fast, McCain introduces a VP candidate that doesn't believe in global warming. In a time of increasing global tension (due in part to ridiculous foreign policy of the previous admin.) he puts by his side a woman who never left the U.S. her entire life. In an era of lethal stds, while the country is the highest of industrialized nations in the number of infant mortality rates and a huge number of teen pregnancies, he picks as his running mate someone who is anti-condom and will fight to the death to overturn Roe v. Wade. She even opposes abortion for rape and incest victims. While we fall behind the rest of the civilized world in education, he picks a woman whose first course of action as mayor was to get books banned at the local public library. (a crusade she abandoned as she became busy running for Gov. but still found time to get the librarian fired once she secured office.)
What could be the rationale? Is it that the past administration wasn't bad enough, he wants everyone fucked even harder down to the ground? Do the Republicans that run the show (not the retards that vote for them) want to see just how far they can push things? Or more likely, they're having a good laugh seeing what they can get away with.
It's important to know that it ain't something as simple as McCain being overcome by this broad's extreme hotness. Party leaders, backers, investors and such had to be ok with this. See, last week, while the media focused dutifully on the DNC's spectacle in Denver, the country's most influential conservatives met very quietly at an undisclosed hotel in downtown Minneapolis to get to know Sarah Palin. The assembled were members of the Council for National Policy, an ultra-secretive cabal that networks wealthy right-wing donors together with top conservative operatives to plan long-term movement strategy. This stuff IS planned.
It's a scary thought. The richest, most powerful nation in the world being led by people like this. It's not just the blatant hypocrisy, it's the backwards thinking and this regressive agenda, this proud anti-intellectualism. Also scary are the legions of button-wearing, flag-waving ass-clowns that buy into this shit. The fact that major tv news pundits respond to Palin's minimal understanding of foreign policy and utter lack of experience by saying "Well she from a part of the world that borders on Russia so she accumulated some valuable experience there" and everyone didn't burst out laughing is amazing.
The economy is in crisis. 1% of the population are worth more than 175 million Americans. The last time so few had so much and so many had so little was during the Depression. It's a fact wealth hasn't been concentrated like this ever post WWII. We are becoming more like a third world country. Apart from size, America is just like a third-world country. A few obscenely wealthy, lots of extreme poverty, non-existent middle class, lots of violence and guns, poor education levels, attacks on personal freedoms and wild religious nuts.

Dell, 2007 (2008 reprint), 512 pages, C$10.99 mmpb, ISBN 978-0-440-24366-3
Lee Child's Jack Reacher series turns eleven with this latest tough-guy thriller, and as it enters its troublesome teens, it becomes a series that is starting to ask questions about its own existence. Reacher's getting old, and the issues that were raised in The Hard Way are getting more and more uncomfortable here. So much so that Reacher's getting some help this time around.
It starts as one of Reacher's friends and ex-colleague is brutally assassinated, thrown off a helicopter over the desert between Los Angeles and Las Vegas. Reacher's in Portland when it happens, but it doesn't take a long time for a coded signal to make its way to him and bring him to California. That's when he meets an old friend, Frances Neagley, who informs him of the situation: One member of their old military investigative unit has been killed, and Neagley's bringing them all back together to figure out what's going on. As their old team slogan had it, You do not mess with the special investigators.
For readers used to a lone wolf such as Reacher, the dynamics of a team investigation are almost new: While Reacher's been part of small teams before (most notably in Without Fail, where Neagley also had a strong supporting role), Bad Luck and Trouble brings him back to the dynamics of his old military unit. They may now be in the private sector, but they still work well together and they all have their own specialties. In some ways, Bad Luck and Trouble is an intriguing follow-up from Reacher's military days described in The Enemy, while creating some space for another prequel in a similar vein.
One thing's for sure: Reacher certainly needs the team this time around. He spends an inordinate amount of time thinking about his slowing reflexes, his increasingly outdated knowledge of the world and even his dwindling financial resources. Incongruously, he also gets a new skill this time around as he abruptly becomes an arithmetic savant just in time to benefit the plotting of this newest adventure. [May 2009: Those new math skills seem to have disappeared in the follow-up Nothing to Lose.]
Fortunately, it's not all contrived math tricks on the road to the end of the mystery: Bad Luck and Trouble goes from Los Angeles to Las Vegas, oscillates between weapon-contracting concerns and gambling schemes, features a smashing sequence with a Chrysler 300 sedan and provides a satisfying give-and-take between Reacher and some old friends we didn't even knew he had. It's also, significantly, a far more personally-motivated story than usual for the series, and it avoid most of the coincidences that have plagued some of Child's premises so far.
As usual, the novel couldn't be more compelling with its sentence-by-sentence prose and convincing details. Reacher is still a supernaturally effective investigator, and his skills for tactical thinking are still as mesmerizing as they ever were in previous installments. This volume's standout action scene takes place on a deserted Las Vegas sidewalk near a casino construction site, as Reacher and friends take on a would-be assassin with maximum prejudice. It's a beautifully choreographed sequence, taking place in bullet-time as Reacher's brain races to out-think his opponents and trust his colleagues to do the same.
After eleven installments, it's almost normal to find out that the series is having growing pains: Child must be itching for a chance to try something new (if he hasn't done so already, knowing his history of multiple aliases), and it's not unreasonable to wonder if Reacher's musings about his own limitations don't reflect some of the author's growing doubts about his character.
But even if his doubts are growing, the thrills are still up to expectations. A look at Child's bibliography to date suggests that there are still two more Reacher adventures to go (the thirteenth, Gone Tomorrow, was published this month). While the series may be weakening, it's still running at a level that would intimidate most other thriller writers. With a track record like that, there's no rush in replacing Reacher.

Amazon has introduced a new aluminum version of the Fire HD 10 tablet. The best part is it's the same price as the older black or white plastic models. Everything else about the tablet is the same except now it'll feel better in the hand with the new aluminum body. Inside you'll find the same 1.5GHz quad-core processor, 5MP camera, 8 hour battery life, and 10.1″ HD screen. One other thing that has changed is that there is now a 64GB option which quadruples the regular 16GB internal storage. The extra storage will run you $60 more than the base price and is currently only available on the new aluminum model.

Seeing is believing. And over the course of the last few years, I've tried my hand at various forms of visual media, dabbling in gameplay videos and spotlight features. Video walkthroughs, secret guides, a retro-themed feature – I even tried my hand at my own Let's Play series.
Spielberg; Hitchcock; Polanski; Kubrick…I think I'm in good company! Though it's been a little while since I've created any videos, there may be some more ideas coming down the pipe soon. Enjoy!

I did this one a couple of years ago, as part of my push for BNBGAMING's video section. It was never finished all the way, and maybe that was a good thing. You be the judge…

What is infidenlity? A sign of rebellion? Cowardice? What?
I am not a professional psychologist, but I believe that my ex may have felt alone and unhappy. I believe my ex sees himself as someone who was looking for happiness and fulfillment rather than accepting the situation he was in. It is difficult to admit mistakes and then face the consequences of those mistakes head on. It is much easier to spin a new story that protects the ego and justifies inappropriate behavior. In this situation, being rebellious means not accepting responsibility for personal commitments of marriage and family.
I wish he would have approached me first about his unhappiness because now our relationship is non-existent. There is no friendship left, and we were good friends for much of our marriage. There is nothing I have to offer him. I will not help him when he needs support. I have no sympathy for him when he's having a bad day. He does not have my ear when he needs advice.
I hope other people who want to leave a marriage think of these types of consequences before running out and having affairs. This behavior is not rebellious. It is simply not facing the truth.

i was recently caught having an affair by my wife. we've been having issues for quite sometime, and before i get too specific, i wanted to let you know why I am commenting.
i love my wife, but there is a lot of pain and resentment between us. we have two kids, 6 years of marriage, and a host of reasons to stay together. i don't want to get divorced. we are both willing to give it another shot.
i would like to better understand what my wife is going through.
maybe we can help each other out.

I am not a psychologist, but my thought is that your wife is feeling betrayed and she probably does not trust you at this time. Seeing a trusted counselor or other advisor may be one of the few ways to explore issues and see if your marriage can be salvaged. The biggest thing you need to do now is to be completely honest. Talk about issues--don't conceal them. Be honest with yourself and to your wife. Also, keep the kids out of the equation. They only need to know that you love them no matter what. Whatever your issues, your kids should have their lives and a stable existence. You and your wife are their role models.

I don't know if its love what I'm feeling for this married man or if its just attraction. All I can think of is him, but don't wanna give him my heart, I know he's married & I thought it our affair wouldn't last this long (1 1/2 yrs). Why did he say
"My goal is for you to fall in love with me". I am so confused...

WE NEED TO RECONNECT... with Ourselves First
The smart, savvy women I work with know that their husbands are not the real reason they're unhappy and dissatisfied.
They understand that real happiness is an inside job. Yet they're at a loss as to what to do to feel better.
They know their secret fantasy of running away isn't the answer – but some days, it's mightily tempting!
When life looks pretty good from the outside, the guilt we feel for wanting more can keep us stuck in confusion and indecision.
And isn't it so easy to lose ourselves in the 'messy middle' of life, marriage and raising kids? It's no wonder we can't figure out what
we want now when we're not even sure who we are anymore!
But what if the solution is right here, inside the 'messy middle' of your current life?
RECONNECT helps you get back in touch with the wise woman within you, the one you've forgotten
how to listen to. You can live a fulfilling and purposeful life. The first step is figuring out who you are, now.
"I've rediscovered the 'old' me – confident, strong, empowered, in control of my own life and optimistic for the future. I'm much happier in myself. The confidence I've gained has given me the courage to step out of my comfort zone. My relationship with my husband has improved significantly as a result!"
Dr. P.M. PhD, West Sussex, UK
I know exactly how you feel because I had a similar journey. It brought me here, helping other women make smart, unapologetic choices to live life on their own terms.
Meet Julie
For many years, I felt trapped in a life and marriage I didn't love. I thought my marriage was the cause of my unhappiness.
Actually, it was a symptom of a deeper problem.
The truth was, I didn't know who I was anymore. In the midst of 20+ years of marriage, kids and corporate life, I'd lost myself.
Learning how to reconnect with myself and reclaim the woman I knew I could be, and create my life and happiness on my terms, has been the most important, life-changing, work I've ever done.
I certified with Coaches Training Institute in 2010 following a 22 year corporate career. I gained two further accreditations with The Life Coach School in cognitive coaching and continue to invest in my
on-going personal and professional development.
My professional credentials, my coaching conversations with women all over the world, combined with my lived experiences and compassion for like-minded women who feel as I did, means I am uniquely placed to guide you to RECONNECT with yourself.
"Working with Julie has resulted in an incredible transformation from where I was a few months ago and has already changed my life for the better in so many ways. Being able to talk to someone who has experienced a similar situation is invaluable."
Mrs. M.G., Hertfordshire, UK
What's included in this Three Month Programme:
- 6 x 1:1 coaching sessions, held fortnightly via Zoom, plus mp3 recordings (1 x 75 minutes, 5 x 60 minutes)
- 6 x teaching modules containing structured topics with tangible outcomes and homework exercises
to complete between sessions
- Each session combines personalised coaching tailored to your desired results with your insights
from the previous module
- We'll keep in regular contact between sessions and I'll provide unlimited email support so you never feel alone
and are fully supported for the three full months. This additional support is invaluable
- RECONNECT is an 'immersion' into you and your inner life. It may, at times, feel emotional... and that's okay.
I promise it will be worth it
RECONNECT shows you how to cultivate a healthy relationship with yourself first.
You'll learn proven tools to get you unstuck, manage your mind and emotions,
and create clear relationship boundaries.
Here's what you'll gain:
CLARITY – That comes from reconnecting with your 'wise woman within,' the part of you that truly knows and deeply understands what your best and most fulfilling life looks and feels like
CONFIDENCE – That unfolds from peeling back the layers holding you back, learning to value yourself and your unique attributes, and realigning your beliefs, goals and desires with the woman you are today and want to become
COURAGE – That results from cultivating the self-trust and self-belief that allows you to step out of your comfort zone, use your voice and advocate for yourself in your life and relationships
CONVICTION – That gives you permission to make confident, unapologetic choices that propel you towards your goals, and towards the happy, fulfilling life you desire and deserve
By the end of RECONNECT you will understand, on a deep level, who you are today and what you want for your life, and your marriage, now – and how to create it.
"It really allowed me to get to know myself again and to know whose shit belonged to who! I've recently turned 50 and it was good to reconnect with myself and clarify what's most important to me now. If you're unsure how you want your future to look, Julie will guide you to that clarity."

My friend, Jess, gave me twinkle lights for my back deck for my birthday. She knows that's my summer sanctuary. She wanted to add to its serenity.
The cool thing about the lights is: They're solar powered. The only effort I had to invest was to wrap them around the deck posts, and then stake the little solar panel in a sunny spot.
As we sat having drinks with our neighbors that evening, the most magical thing happened: As night started to fall, surrounding us in darkness, those little bulbs started to glow, transforming the dark with little twinkles of light. Right when we would have had to end our time in my oasis, we were wrapped in just enough light to continue on.
It got me thinking … my mom is an awful lot like those twinkle lights.
My mom is the greatest prayer warrior I know. When she hears of someone in distress, she prays unceasingly. She puts the persistent widow in Luke 18 to shame. Like the judge finally gives in to the widow, I think God ends up granting most of my mom's prayers just to get a little silence in Heaven.
The fervent prayer of a righteous person is very powerful. James 5:16
Consequently, failing marriages have been saved, jobs have been given to the unemployed, patients have become cancer free, and on and on. Even when someone has been prayed back to healing, they remain on her prayer list forever.
From my perspective, it all seems so effortless. If and when I'm in distress, or someone I know is, I simply put my mom on the case. Then, just like being on my back deck now, I sit back in the darkness and wait for the glow of her prayers to wrap us all up in enough healing to continue on.
The thing is: It may feel effortless on my part, but it's not on my twinkle lights' part, or my mom's. All day long, the little panel on my lights is pounded by the sun's intense rays. All day long, that panel has to store up that energy. That's how it can power those little orbs of light when darkness falls.
So too with my mom. All day long, she is fervently praying, pounding God's loving heart with her petitions. All day long, God stores up her faith-filled supplications. When darkness comes into the lives of those she loves, He opens the floodgate of her prayers. That's how all that faith, hope and love come streaming back to grace whomever is in need.
Although it's fine for me to relax on my back deck and enjoy the fruits of my lights' labor, I shouldn't do so with my mom's prayers. Rather, I should be following her example.
Just imagine if we all became powerful prayer warriors, like my mom, and prayed unceasingly. We'd light up this world with healing and grace!

A WOKING-based healthcare company has helped save the NHS more than £100 million in two years, by supplying it with state-of-the-art diabetes equipment.
The savings have been made thanks to the GlucoRx Nexus family of glucometers. Supplied by GlucoRx, based in Monument Way West, they were the first low-acquisition cost test strip to be launched in the UK and have since disrupted the market, driving prices down.
The cost savings were calculated by the company, using the latest NHS England data.
"As a country, we're extremely lucky to still have a 'free at the point of delivery' healthcare service, which is why we wanted to start making high-quality diabetes-related products that completely overturned the industry, forcing prices down across the board," said Chris Chapman, a GlucoRx director.

Direct mail is not dead!
It may seem old-fashioned, but direct mail is still one of the best ways businesses can get their marketing message directly to potential customers. With low costs and high return on investment, direct mail is considered an essential component of any marketing campaign.
When combined with demographics and psychographic data, personalized mailers can have a significant impact on return on investment numbers. In fact, according to one report by Aleyant Systems, businesses sell approximately $2095 in goods for every $167 spent on direct mail in the US, which is an impressive 1,255% return.
In addition, direct mail has shown to be an effective method to persuade target demographics to buy products or services. According to the 2017 Response Rate Report by the Data & Marketing Association, the household response rate for direct mail is 5.1%, compared to .6% for email, .6% for paid search, .2% for online display, and .4% for social media.
The same report showed that most consumers will act on direct mail immediately and prefer receiving mailers instead of other forms of advertisements. Taking the time to invest in well-designed, personalized mailer builds a sense of trust between the business and its customer base, which can result in more leads.
Marketing research firm MarketingSherpa found that 54% of consumers want to receive mail from brands they're interested in. This means that businesses have a high chance of reaching more than half of its target demographics.
With TargetDirect, businesses can take advantage of big data and new efficiencies in print that allow for personalized mailers to identify prospects, keep costs down, and obtain the greatest return on investment.
Case Examples:
- Non-Profit generates an average of seven donations per donor through direct mail engagement
- School District generates dozens of leads and new students through oversized bilingual postcard
- Motorcycle brand spikes inbound calls and email leads through 4 color personalized mailer targeting owners, intenders, and enthusiasts
- Law Firm increases volume, quality and length of calls with direct mail

I recently was having a conversation with someone and the topic of discussion was successful teams/departments and the relationships among them. While we were discussing the qualities of the leaders that have built these great teams, this person said something which I found puzzling. They said that the person didn't really matter to them, just what they had to say. It quickly put things into perspective about this person, but also confirmed for me the importance of relationships when attempting to build a solid team or connect with anyone for that matter.
Long Term
So what does it take to build relationships that will leave people truly listening to what you are saying....trust. I believe John Maxwell puts it in very simple terms, "In reality, trust is necessary in ALL good relationships. Good marriages, business relationships, and friendships all require trust. Without it, there can be no open and honest interaction, and the relationship will be only temporary". Have you ever watched a group of people follow someone they don't trust, or work collaboratively together, or sustain a relationship that proves successful over a long period of time? Temporary relationships may yield quick outcomes, but not long term growth.
Build Them
Relationships exists at every level within a school district and building them is critical for the success of the organization. Everyone must take responsibility for building them, admin-staff, teacher-student, teacher-parent, the list could go on. If we are to build more than a short term relationship between individuals, we must build trust. I was sent a post by Mike Myatt recently, via @LarryLaPrise, that addressed leadership and presence. One takeaway for me was, "Leadership is about trust, stewardship, care, concern, service, humility and understanding. If you build into those you lead, if you make them better, if you add value to their lives then you will have earned their trust and loyalty. This is the type of bond that will span positional and philosophical gaps, survive mistakes, challenges, downturns and other obstacles that will inevitably occur".
Building relationships, it is the foundation in my opinion, that will allow a successful structure to be built. It opens the door for genuine collaboration, interaction between customer and business, school and students, teacher and parents. And just think, when people are listening to each other, they may just matter.

How To Get Your Security Deposit Back
If you have ever been in a situation where you felt confident about getting all of your security deposit back, only to find that you were charged for areas you never even considered checking, this checklist is for you.
The coveted return of the security deposit, at the end of tenancy, can feel elusive to some renters. In fact, according to a Rent.com survey, 1 in 4 renters have not gotten their security deposit back when they expected to. The security deposit is not something that should leave your mind as soon as it's paid, only to come back around at the end of your lease.
In most cases, a landlord will want to return the full security deposit back to you, because that means there was no damage or extra cleaning that needed to be done to the property. Be sure to be aware of the lease agreement throughout your tenancy, and be active about making sure you'll get your deposit back. Ensuring that your security deposit is returned can require day-to-day tending to during your time as a tenant.
Follow Rental Agreement: Not all security deposit charges are due to direct abuse of property. Your landlord can charge for any work required to make the property look like it did before the start of tenancy. Additionally, a rental lease will include terms to further prevent property alterations and unauthorized changes to your rental.
Even if you consider a change, like a new paint job or new window treatments, upgrades, your landlord might disagree. If you do not have formal permission from your landlord, you could be charged for the living room's new paint job, or the hole created to install that new curtain rod you put in.
Other lease-breaking damage charges can be caused due simply to negligence throughout your residence on the property. If you failed to change the air filter in the central air system, causing damage, or you didn't keep the property clean—thus encouraging bugs, you could face a truncated return at the end of your lease.
Deep Clean Before Leaving: Even if you factiously clean your rental, there are always problem areas that are left in the dust. Places like baseboards, the tops of cupboards, and under the entertainment center are rarely examined on a daily basis—and even more rarely cleaned.
Furthermore, high traffic areas can start to look dingy and dirty after a few years. Deep clean and pull out all the stops—use a steam mop, get on your hands-and-knees, and use that elbow grease to make your rental shine! Ensuring that your landlord won't have to pay a professional cleaner because of a mess you leave behind, is a surefire way to increase your deposit return.
Alternatively, consider hiring your own cleaning service before moving. You will probably find a better rate if you contract a professional house cleaner, than if you leave it up to your landlord to find one with your security deposit fees. If you hate cleaning, or don't feel like spending time scrubbing the floors during the moving chaos this may be the best option for you.
Touch Up Minor Damage: If you have areas with small holes in the wall from nails or screws, touch them up so your landlord does not need to. A landlord faced with minor damages, will also need to consider the time spent repairing them, save yourself the cash (and your landlord the hassle) by making it a non-issue from the start. Apply this same attentiveness to falling or lose hinges on the cupboards, or any other areas that might have small repairs that could be done. Consider this trick from Nestment, about re-caulking your bathroom to instantly make the shower look new again.
Finally, if you do find that you did not receive your deposit back, or only received a portion of the original amount knowing your rights as a renter can help you find out why you were charged. In most states, it is a requirement that the landlord inform their tenant in writing of the charges to your security deposit. If you live in a state that requires it, this required written document can help you learn what damages you need to avoid for the next time you rent, or can ensure that you were not charged for an issue that you shouldn't have been.

How to Take Better Rental Listing Photos
It's an old cliché, but everyone still loves to say it: "a picture is worth a thousand words" and trust us, when it comes to enticing potential tenants into making inquires, the old cliché rings a lot of truth.
Including quality photos in your rental listings is no longer a courteous extra, it is necessary. No longer are they the cherry-on-top for a listing, photographs of a rental can be the deciding factor in many potential tenants' eyes.
Quality images of your rental's best features and could be the difference between finding the perfect tenant quickly, or unneeded vacancies. Knowing this, it's important to be able to represent your property with the best quality photographs you can.
Check Your Camera Settings
Planning to DIY your way through the rental listings and take your own photos? Be sure to use a camera that has the technology to sufficiently capture your property. Using an outdated and low end camera can cause blurry or grain-filled photos that distract from your rental rather than highlighting its best qualities. Poor images not only fail to highlight your rental's best features, they express a sense of apathy and a lack of care toward your listing, a considerable deterrent to a potential tenant.
This isn't to say that you need the finest equipment money can buy, many new cell phones have the capacity to take great images with the right planning. If you use an iPhone or your new smartphone, be sure to change your settings beforehand. Ensure that your camera's files are not being compressed for storage on your device, and play around with the light settings to find the best representation of what your eyes see in the room.
Pro Tip:Many cameras have settings to input your light source: tungsten, cloudy, sunny ect. (often referred to as 'white balance') changing these settings will ensure that your rooms indoors do not look harsh and yellow or blue and dull.
Use Natural Light
While you don't need a fancy flash or studio light to achieve a nice white and clean image of your property, you do need to be aware of the do's and do not's of lighting. It is impossible to showcase your freshly painted white walls, when your photos all look dim and dingy.
To get the best possible look, take your photos in the daytime when you have a lot of natural light to work with. While this may be hard for some rooms or apartments that do not have a lot of windows, eliminate the use of lamps and ceiling lights.
Pro Tip: Open all the curtains, and even doors to make sure your room is as light as possible before taking your picture. This will make your room look brighter, cleaner and even bigger.
Eliminate Clutter
The best time to take the photographs for your rental is after your normal reinventions and cleanings between tenants have taken place. However, if timing only allows for you to take the images mid-process, make sure to clear out any clutter, or cleaning materials. If your listing is furnished, don't be afraid to rearrange the room specifically for the photo.
The most pleasing furniture arrangement for the photographs could be different than what logistically works best in day-to-day life—this is okay. Move the couch to new wall to create a new focal point—even if you know most tenants will prefer to face the TV hook-ups adjacent to the couch. As long as you're not misrepresenting the listing's assets, feel free to experiment to see ways that you re-arrange items to open the floor space and make the room more inviting.
Pro Tip: Potential renters respond positively to a house that is staged during their rental search process. A staged home is decorated to look its most beautiful for the purpose of selling or renting a house faster. Staged homes allow a person to see what the house looks like when someone lives there. If your house is empty, consider bringing in a couch, side table, flowers and a throw blanket to stage a cozy living room for a photo shoot.
Get Your Rental's Good Side
Be sure to capture all the necessary shots: the living area, kitchen, bathrooms and bedrooms, but be sure to be discerning with what you include. If your rental has particularly beautiful landscaping, be sure to include a photo of just the garden. Was the kitchen newly remolded? Take a close up of the new counters and appliances.
Pro Tip: If you recently purchased top of the line appliance for your rental, it is not necessary to a picture of the appliance logo. You future tenant will appreciate a shot that shows the whole appliance so they can see that is actually new and fits the room nicely.
When to Leave it to the Experts
In some circumstances, despite a working knowledge of your camera, and the best intentions, there can be times when it might be worth it to call a professional. If you are noticing that your photos are not the quality you hoped for, or if you have a lot of rentals, it could be time to pick up the phone and call a photographer who specializes in property listings.
For any owner, the reality is that even the best DIY-er will be outmatched by the quality that a professional can offer, and that can translate to finding a tenant sooner. Extended vacancies can cost you more than a professional's fee.
Pro Tip: For owners of multiple listings, the time investment required to do it yourself may not be achievable—and you can check around to see who offers a multiple property discount.
The next time your rental is ready to be listed, don't hesitate to do what it takes to include great photos. By following our simple tricks, you'll know precisely how to display your listing in the best light possible–literally and figuratively.

A PERFECT PLACE to find your home
Buy? Sell? Rent? Keep?
14 Common Home Problems Buyers Should Look For
When looking for a home to buy, it pays to be aware of common problems found in many homes. Once you make the purchase, you take over responsibility for all of the existing issues in the home. Keep an eye out for these issues so you can adjust your offer accordingly, or move on to another property that is relatively problem-free.
If you are a perspective home seller reading this please make mental note of these common home sale issues so you can be well prepared to identify and address them before you put your home up for sale. You will be glad you did!
1. Roof Problems
The roof is one of the most important components of the home. A damaged or poorly maintained roof can lead to serious problems, including water damage. Major roof repairs can be expensive, and should definitely be factored into the price of the home if they exist. The roof is an area that most buyers will not compromise on. Keep in mind however that when you have a home inspection and your inspector tells you that there are only a few years of expected life in the roof, you shouldn't expect the seller to replace it. Most sellers are not going to replace a roof when there are years of life left before issues arise.
2. Old Appliances
Appliances are built to last only so long, especially if they are not regularly maintained. The cost of replacing appliances can be substantial and should be considered. Granted, higher quality appliances last longer. It is worthwhile to do some research on the year, brand and model of the major appliances in a property to get a clear picture of what you are purchasing.
3. Handrails
This may seem minor, but functional handrails are necessary on staircases and along balconies for safety. Test all of the handrails in a home, and ensure that all appropriate areas have handrails before buying. One of the common trouble spots is on decks. This becomes especially important when the deck is elevated off of the ground where someone could get seriously hurt if falling from a greater height.
4. Storm Damage
Each area of the country experiences extreme weather – weather that can do serious damage to a home. From hurricanes to hail storms, these weather events can damage roofs, siding and even foundations in the event of flooding. Hail storms can be very destructive without a home owner even realizing it. A few years ago in Hopkinton Massachusetts, over a third of the homes in town received new roofs because of a vicious hail storm.
This is something that most good homeowners insurance policies will cover. Unfortunately there were also a number of people in Hopkinton who did not even think to check that they had hail damage. Upon selling their home, the buyer would get a home inspection and that's when they found out they had damage. For many of these home sellers it was too late to file a claim. The tough part of hail damage is that it is not often visible to the naked eye. A good home inspector will be able to spot hail damage by getting up on the roof or possibly by using high-powered binoculars.
5. Rotten Wood
Even modern, pressure-treated wood will break down under the elements eventually. Look for rotten wood around the base of the home, along the roof and anywhere else where moisture may have been an issue. Some of the most common areas you will find wood rot on a home are on the window sills.
While rotted window sills can be found on any age home, there has been a prevalence of it in homes that were built in the 80's and 90's due to lesser-quality, finger-jointed woodwork. Finger-jointed materials, if not constantly painted, will rot a lot more quickly due to water penetration and just an overall lack of quality.
6. Cooling or Heating Systems
Temperature control systems wear out over time, and they can be expensive to replace. Check on the age, integrity and maintenance schedule of any heating or cooling system present in the home. Newer models are notably more efficient, making them a much better deal in the long run.
One of the most important things you can do as a home buyer is to check the current owners' upkeep of these items. It is certainly possible a well-maintained boiler can last thirty years or more. It is just as easy for that same boiler to last half as long if not maintained yearly with regular servicing.
7. Environmental Issues
Environmental regulations become increasingly strict as time goes on. This is good for buyers of new homes, but it does not necessarily protect you if you are purchasing an older home. Radon, lead-based paint, mold and asbestos are all health concerns.
Be aware of the dangers of these materials and verify whether they are present in each property. If the home is serviced by a well (as opposed to public water), it is also a good idea to get that tested too. Often times standard well tests will only do a limited screening for such things as iron, copper, manganese, etc. You will want to make sure you also test for more dangerous compounds such as arsenic, mercury and lead.
8. Poor Drainage
Water damage is a risk in areas with poor drainage. Verify that each home you consider has adequate drainage to deal with area rainfall. Because water damage can lead to expensive repair work and mold infestation, you need to ensure that drainage is sufficient on any property you purchase. This is one issue as a home seller not to mess with. There is nothing that will kill a real estate sale quicker than a water issue. Buyers do not want to even think about having a water problem with their home.
9. Electrical Safety Concerns
Older homes may not have electrical systems up to current codes. Things like ground fault breaker outlets in bathrooms and kitchens, as well as grounded outlets throughout the house are necessary for a safe living environment, especially when you consider the current electrical load people put on their homes with new appliances and electronics. In older homes look out for knob and tube wiring.
Most lenders will not provide a loan and most insurance companies will not ensure a home with knob and tube wiring. Eliminating a huge chunk of the buyer pool is not going to help you get top dollar for your home. This is an issue you would want to address before listing your home for sale.
10. Roof Water Control
Gutters may seem like a minor part of a home, but they do a very important job in keeping your house free from water intrusion. Clogged or poorly maintained gutters can leave your home exposed to water and the mold that comes along with it. Sellers that have plants growing in their gutters bring negative attention to their homes. It looks like you could care less about the upkeep of your property and makes buyers look more closely at other potential problems.
11. Plumbing Problems
Plumbing may be hidden from site in homes, but it is a large part of what makes the modern home livable and comfortable. Older homes with older pipes can present problems, though. Make sure your potential home has plumbing that works, and no serious plumbing issues right around the corner. Things like tree root growth can quickly stop up your plumbing and may be a problem with older pipes.
12. Bad Insulation
Modern insulation is excellent at keeping the temperature in your home comfortable. However, some home builders, especially in older homes, did not always insulate adequately. If you view a home in summer, you may be surprised come winter when the house will just not hold heat. Have someone who knows verify that the home has good insulation before you buy. It is common for older homes to not have nearly the same energy efficiency due to lack of insulation in walls and sometimes in the attic as well.
13. Poor Ventilation
A home that does not allow airflow is at risk of developing mold problems, a nightmare for any homeowner. Verify that the home you are looking at allows airflow throughout the house, including the attic. It may be impossible to achieve perfect airflow in every room, especially basements, but the home should allow airflow through most rooms of the house.
One of the most notable home imperfections is a bathroom vent dumping into the attic and not out through the roof. While a bathroom being vented through the roof is now code in most states, this was not the case until recently. It is very common to see homes that have venting leading into the attic, creating the perfect environment for moisture and mold growth.
14. Foreclosed Homes
Foreclosures may initially present an excellent deal, but they also present certain risks. Sometimes earlier owners will do serious damage to such homes before exiting the property. This can include anything from stripping copper piping to tearing out cabinets or other valuable fixtures.
Always look over the property before getting your hopes up, because sometimes you do get what you pay for. When real estate deals seem to good to be true they usually are! Keep in mind when you purchase a foreclosed home the lender who now owns the home generally will know very little about the previous owners' upkeep and maintenance.
The Help of Someone Who Knows
If these 14 things seem like a lot to keep track of, it is because they are. This is why the help of an experienced professional real estate agent can prove so valuable. They look for such things as a matter of course. However, if you choose to go it alone, make sure to download a home viewing checklist to make sure you cover all of your bases before making an offer.
These are all common items that can certainly be discovered at a home inspection by a qualified home inspector. As a buyer, you should be making mental notes of these items before hand so you can make an offer and budget accordingly. When you are mentally prepared for these types of issues when purchasing real estate, there will be a lot less stress involved with your transaction should one or more of these problems crop up. Don't lose your cool when you find a problem. Take it slow and do the necessary research to resolve the problem by speaking with a few reputable contractors and getting necessary estimates for repair.

Russian capital markets: What's driving change?
The Russian government's desire to build an international financial centre in Moscow is genuine. However, the government's market infrastructure reforms are also driven by other short-term and long-term motivations. Short-term concerns centre on a reluctance to lose out to rival markets in central and eastern Europe. "Other CEE countries are competing hard for foreign investment and investors," says Alex Krunic, head of product sales for direct custody and clearing at JPMorgan. "Poland clearly has positive momentum: it is number one for IPOs in Europe in 2012, number four by value of IPOs and number nine by cash equity value."

I am a sucker for healthy food. But, I understand that healthy food has serious taste limitations. Even when I try to cook something nutritious, it ends up tasting bland and horrible. So, when I got an invite to a food tasting event, hosted by a restaurant which served unconventional and healthy meals, I was elated and a bit apprehensive, at the same time. I wanted this place to be good! I wanted this place to make me fall in love with it! And well, it did!
When two super talented chefs come together and launch a restaurant, it is bound to make a lot of noise, good noise. Most of us are familiar with Chef Sanjay Thumma of VahChef. He has over eight lakh followers on you-tube. And Chef Vikram brings with him an experience of over twenty five years. After we were seated, Chef Vikram came over to our table to explain the idea behind the whole place. He spoke elaborately about the balanced nutrients in each bowl, they serve and the exhaustive procurement process of the few rare ingredients. Moving on to the food!
The options are limited, but permutations are high! Ordering at Indiblaze is a three step process.
- Select the meal type : edible bowl, wrap or bigger bowl.
- Select the rice, meat, veggies and sauce.
- Top it with guacamole or sour cream or both.
The display was neat and self explanatory. There was quinoa, basmati and raw rice with millets in the carbs section. All three tasted great. The quinoa was perfectly cooked. There were two versions of the mushroom. One was flavored with a little bit of mustard and it made a hell lot of difference in taste. There was chicken and lamb, both of which looked grilled and healthy and tasted superb. I am not over-selling it, when I say that the mutton was mouth-wateringly tasty. It wasn't very spicy and not too much garlic-y. I hate it when there's too much ginger and garlic, in the recipe. The guacamole was fresh and nicely blended. The lemon and tomato didn't dominate the taste of avocados and that is something very important. The salsa dip was good too. Loved the sour cream topping as well. The edible bowl is a new concept and I quite liked the taste of it with the entire meal. We also tried the kebab roll, which is very filling. Half of the roll is enough for a person. The Indipizzas are actually quesadillas, with a choice of the same stuffing. They use whole-wheat tortillas, which is an added advantage.
I hope that they increase the number of beverages. We tasted kokum, pulpy grape and mango lassi. All of them were freshly made. The mango lassi was more like a mango milk shake, but we loved it!
We had an amazing time dining at Indiblaze. Also, because the entire group is crazy and its fun to hangout with people who love to eat! I hope that this place gets what it deserves. It's high time that we start venturing into healthier food options without compromising on the taste. I am lucky that my office is at a stone throw's distance from this place. I know what to eat now, whenever my cook decides to bunk! 😉

Craig Sheagren, a Burlington native, recently was named one of the "125 Hospital and Health System CFOs to Know" by Becker's Hospital Review.
Sheagren is the vice president of finance and CFO of Sarah Bush Lincoln Health Center in Mattoon, Ill., where he has steered the financial operations for the past six years. Sarah Bush Lincoln has roughly $200 million in net annual revenue.
Sheagren also serves as the lead of the health center's audit, finance and investment committee, and has helped the organization secure an "A+" bond rating from Standard andamp; Poor's credit rating agency. Sarah Bush Lincoln is one of the few health systems of its size to garner an "A+" rating. Sheagren credits the higher rating to "consistently good operations" and the hospital's financial condition, especially the low amount of debt it has.
The 125 men and women help lead renowned tertiary centers, academic medical centers, community hospitals and health systems in all financial matters, while balancing quality patient care and innovative health care reform strategies.
The Becker's Hospital Review editorial team used several resources to develop this list, including nominations, prior Becker's Hospital Review lists and input from industry experts.

Retired Dallas Cowboys safety, Dextor Clinkscale gets a chance each year to re-experience the camaraderie of playing in the NFL when the Super Bowl Gospel Choir convenes to perform in the city hosting the league's marquee game.
The choir provides about 60 players — mostly retired and a couple of current ones — a different type of team atmosphere, one that combines a love of gospel music and pro football.
During rehearsal at the annual reunion , this time for Thursday night's performance in the 20th Super Bowl Gospel Celebration at Atlanta Symphony Hall, Clinkscale said he felt his spirit being rekindled in the same way it does each year.
"It is part of the electricity and ... the power of it," Clinkscale said Wednesday evening. "It moves through everything, and I think that's a big reason why so many of the guys come. You see some guys that you didn't even realize were on a roster, but the spirit of the Lord brings us together, and it just happens."
Watch video here!
Max Garcia, a Denver offensive lineman, and New Orleans receiver, Austin Carr are two active players in the choir. Former stars such as Tim Brown, Emmitt Smith and Matt Forte and current stars Larry Fitzgerald and Russell Wilson are listed as presenters or honorees.
Carr grew up singing in the church and got the itch to perform after visiting Broadway in high school. He started acting, playing the piano and taking vocal training. He performed with the Super Bowl choir last year but is not this year.
He said he joined the choir because "I love to sing. I love God. It was just this opportunity to get involved."
The NFL-sanctioned choir will perform two songs at the sold-out event that's being televised on BET Saturday. The event also will feature performances by Kirk Franklin, Koryn Hawthorne, Tasha Cobbs Leonard, and The Winans.
