Before we get into branding tips for bike shops let's start with a definition of branding from Entrepreneur dot-com:
"Your brand is your promise to your customer. It tells them what they can expect from your products and services, and it differentiates your offering from that of your competitor's. Your brand is derived from who you are, who you want to be and who people perceive you to be."
Customers interact with stores through touch points. Some of these touch points are inside physical stores but quite a few of them exist out in the wild. If a customer has a conversation with a shop employee at a local race about getting their bike repaired that's an example of a touch point. Social media is an important touch point for most people these days. Email marketing and traditional marketing are also touch points for a store's brand. Touch points give retailers brief and valuable opportunities to build their brand.
Smart retailers make it easy to interact with their stores through interactive websites complete with real-time inventory, reviews and a shopping cart accessible from almost anywhere, including their competitors' stores. Given the ease of access to the website as a touch point, local businesses are competing with multinational chains whether they want to or not. Big box retailers understand branding and invest heavily in it. The end result is that businesses like Dick's Sporting Goods, Amazon, eBay and REI are very well recognized and differentiated.
The good news is that local retailers have an ace in the hole when leveraged in the right way, which is local availability, personalized customer service and product selections fine-tuned for their market. All which are difficult for big box store's to replicate and can give you a significant competitive advantage.
Read on for 3 ways to build your brand by defining what it is, how it's differentiated and how you can consistently execute your brand to leverage what makes you different.
As a quick tip, it's helpful to keep up on how consumer behavior is changing. For example, after or even during interactions with the touch points that build your brand, consumers visit websites to get additional information. Google calls this ZMOT or Zero Moment of Truth and if you haven't had a chance to look into this concept it's worth checking out. Just Google ZMOT.
1. Differentiation
A good brand encompasses a competitive advantage and helps you communicate that to customers. This doesn't mean that it can help you be something that you're not. If you promise expert repairs, the actual customer experience should back that up. Branding should leverage some of the store's competitive advantages that would make consumers want to shop there over the competition.
One way stores can differentiate themselves is with product selection. For instance, if your focus is on commuters the store environment, the website and product selection should all line up with that focus. The staff you hire should use bikes to get to work and speak the commuter language. All these things are part of your store's brand and help you stand out from the competition.
University Bicycles in Boulder has really built an exceptionally branded in-store experience which is an important part of their local brand. A funky atmosphere, strong emphasis on customer service and a well thought out product selection, all contribute to the makeup of their brand and are executed in a way that makes their store brand unique.
2. Defining your brand
It's worth taking some time to write down a few things that make up your brand, given that it will be necessary to communicate this to staff and other partners while building your business. The brand image should be clear in places like the store website, its interior environment, advertising and even the qualities you look for in employees.
You'll want to think about things like colors, logo and font as well as the kind of images that really paint a picture of what your store's all about. Other elements like voice are important too, as it will influence your sales process and written communication.
Here's a worksheet that QBP put together for a branding seminar at this past Frostbike. Filling it out will help you on your way to having a well-defined brand. Remember, you can't fake a good brand. Your values have to run deep in every aspect of your organization.
3. Executing your brand consistently
While defining the brand is a great first step, the key to standing out from the competition lies in consistently executing on it. Much like in the restaurant business where consistently delivering good food and service can make or break you, the customer experience in a retail store can have the same effect.
Regular staff training and coaching are ways to help get this consistency. As part of training for new staff it's a good idea for them to have a conversation with the owner to learn what the store is all about.
Solid business practices like a good ordering system, and solid inventory managment, come into play for consistency. Can customers come in and expect to find core items in stock time and time again? And can they shop for those items on the store website? Remember that customers interact with retail stores via touch points, so consistency with what's in stock on the store website and what's in stock in the store is crucial. I'll back this up with a recent study from Forrester Research that found that 71% of consumers expect to see in-store inventory, online.
Consistency across touch points also includes look and feel, voice and the imagery used to communicate the brand. When it comes to the website the in-store experience should match the online experience. Online-only retailers have known for a while that their website's functionality is an important aspect of their brand. A lengthy checkout process, poor catalog structure, or broken links leave people with a bad impression. Much of this comes down to the customer experience and the ability of the business owner (you) to put yourself in the customer's shoes, which is no small feat.
You can do it! These ideas and tips may seem like too much work, but just look at them as continuing your steps to improvement. Think about your store, your brand and the competitive advantages you already have. You know what these things are. Next, consider new ways to leverage that advantage to build your brand and your business.
For example, if your store has built up a great product selection around Downhill and Enduro riding, focus your brand building and marketing dollars on that crowd and you're on your way. Hold in-store events aimed at this target market, sponsor a trail workday on the local DH run or invest in a few Enduro and DH demo bikes and watch your shop and brand benefit.

Video footage out of Kuwait shows a maid hanging from a window before she falls onto a roof in what some are pointing to as an example of how foreign workers are mistreated in Islamic countries.
"Hold me! Hold me!" the woman, who is reportedly Ethiopian, screams in Arabic. She then loses her grip and falls at least seven floors onto a lower roof. At no point does the individual filming the incident make any attempt to help her.
This is how Arabs treat their maid ???? pic.twitter.com/2fFuPn018X
— ?? (@Ali_loco1) March 30, 2017
Miraculously, the woman appeared to escape with just a broken arm. A second video shows her being helped by emergency services.
Just got sent this, it's a miracle she survived that fall, Alhamdulilah ???? pic.twitter.com/RMXR4mql0k
— ?? (@Ali_loco1) March 30, 2017
The woman who filmed the incident was reportedly arrested.
The BBC reports that the maid climbed outside because she was suicidal and that the woman recorded the incident "because she did not want to be accused of the maid's murder if she had died."
However, Twitter users were quick to assert that the incident highlights the mistreatment of immigrant workers in Muslim countries.
In many Islamic countries, particularly Kuwait, Saudi Arabia and Qatar, maids are treated like slaves and forced to work in abhorrent conditions.
As Alya Mooro writes, sexual abuse and harassment of domestic workers is commonplace in rich Arab Gulf states because foreign maids are at the mercy of employers who exercise control over their visa terms.
"This often allows the employers to feel like they have complete control over the maid and will not be reprimanded for however they choose to treat them," explains Balqesa Maalim, a program officer at the International Organization for Migration.
We also featured this video yesterday which showed veiled Muslim women being literally herded by a man with a stick in Saudi Arabia.

MANCHESTER, MO (KTVI) - John F. Kennedy Catholic High School in Manchester, Missouri celebrated its last homecoming event Friday. Back in September, the St. Louis Archdiocese announced it would be closing the school due to declining enrollment and the growing cost of education.
The school was established in 1968. It'll close once the 2016-2017 school year is complete.
There are currently only about 50 freshman students enrolled, while students say over 200 students are currently attending John F. Kennedy.
Fox 2 News talked with some alumni who shared fond memories of the school.
"Four years playing soccer here were the best four years of my life," said Konner Kloster, class of 2010. "We made it to state finals, finished third in state, and it was one of times in my life when I could really experience that brotherhood."
A.J. Meatte also went to the private school in 2010.
"This was a second home for me for those four years," Meatte said. "There's no better way to honor the school than being there for the homecoming."
One woman brought her daughter to the homecoming to walk the halls one last time and look at all the photos hanging on the walls of each graduating class. Kathleen Freeman's family attended JFK for generations and it'll always have a close place in her heart for another reason.
"I also met her dad here as well, so he went here too," she said.

No, I am not writing about Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden and the forbidden fruit that befell Adam for having been the one to take that second bite. I'll leave that to the theologians to explain. Instead, I'm providing a few simple lessons about always keeping your options open to take advantage of another chance when needed most.
Dart throwers don't always hit the bull's-eye the first time, and LeBron James doesn't always score on his first attempt at the hoop. The king of basketball is, however, superb at setting up his next shot with some quick thinking and incredible athleticism. For anyone in business who wants to sell something to someone else or convince others of anything — be it promoting an idea, finalizing a deal, closing a transaction or hiring your next superstar — the skill of quickly changing course in midstream is a sharply honed technique that can save the day.
Let's assume you're in a meeting with colleagues and you're proposing what you think is a great something or other. As you continue your pitch, you get an inclination that things may not be going as planned. Your first hint is that the guy across from you not so subtly rolls his eyes with your latest utterance, or the gal at the other end of the table seems to, albeit rudely, find whatever is appearing on her smartphone more interesting than you. There are warning signs that can inexplicably pop up out of nowhere.
A good executive knows how to read the tea leaves and snatch victory from the jaws of defeat. When you sense your presentation is going south, the first step is to take a few seconds for an unannounced "time-out" disguised, if necessary, by a brief coughing spell, to determine what's gone awry. You can set up your second shot by abandoning your current effort to score and subtly refocus your storyline if you strongly believe you can change sentiments with a different approach. Or, if you're stumped as to what to do next, a good backup for critical pitches is to have a cohort standing by outside the room to enter ceremoniously and hand you a note when summoned by your precomposed text transmitted by an unnoticeable single click of your phone.
Quickly pause, read the note and announce that some important, new information has just surfaced that will likely affect what you're presenting, and the session must reschedule. Yes, it's a bit dramatic, but since failure seemed inevitable, you had nothing to lose.
Next, collar a few of the attendees who might be more favorable to what you've presented, ferret out what the sticking points in the presentation were and recraft your approach. This is no time for ego, so ask pointed questions to get answers that will help your cause.
Many a time, a hasty retreat provides a second bite at the apple and produces a sweet taste that is never forbidden and highly savored.
Michael Feuer co-founded OfficeMax and in 16-years, as CEO, grew the retailer to sales of $5 billion in 1,000 stores worldwide. Today, as founder/CEO of Max-Ventures, his firm invests in and consults for retail businesses.

Tom Doak and the Woodhall Spa restoration
Considering that he is yet to oversee any work on a single tee or green, it is remarkable to see the visual impact of the changes that Tom Doak is making to the Hotchkin course at Woodhall Spa.
The famed American architect has broken ground on a three-year restoration project that promises to lift the Hotchkin, already one of the very best inland courses in Britain, to new heights.
Yet he does not intend to build any new holes or even to change the nature of the existing ones.
Doak has a rare ability to get inside the mind of Golden Age architects, even when, as in this case, it is the work of a man we know relatively little about.
When I was at Woodhall before Christmas to talk to him about the project, the course was a hive of activity. Trees were being felled before my eyes, bunkers were being re-shaped, vistas were being restored and there was a general sense of the course being reawakened from a long slumber.
Golf courses are living, breathing things and over time they change. In the case of greens adjacent to bunkers, the earth literally moves, as the sand gradually accumulates on top of the face.
Then you have the encroachment of trees, year by year, and shrinking greens. That's without mentioning any deliberate attempts to improve the design – successful or otherwise.
Even in this day and age, Doak likes to work by eye, and that is perhaps what gives his designs and restorations that extra attention to detail.
It will be over two years before his work on the Hotchkin is complete but for those who appreciate the subtleties of golf course architecture it promises to make a visit to this special corner of Lincolnshire even more of a treat than it already was.
What to expect from Tiger?
Over the coming weeks and months we are going to find out whether Tiger Woods can still be a factor in the Majors. He is exempt for each of the Masters, US Open, Open and PGA both this year and next so he still has every chance to prove his detractors wrong.
It would set things up perfectly if he could show some form over the early season in time for the build-up to Augusta.
Starting at Torrey Pines, he is playing four events in the space of five weeks. Is a win too much to ask?

Healthy chicken fingers
Who does not like chicken fingers, raise your hand!
Those chicken strips typical of fast food restaurants that eat with their hands, they get wet in sauces and then you chew your fingers ... Well now you can eat them even if you are taking care of your line. These homemade fingers that I bring you today carry low glycemic index carbohydrates since they are coated in oatmeal and are baked. They are just as crunchy as fried and thus avoid excess oil.
In addition, the chicken is marinated previously which is super tender. You can accompany them with a homemade tomato sauce and share with friends. Very good!
Ingredients for two people
- 1 chicken breast
- 2 cloves of garlic
- Some parsley leaves
- 1 glass of vegetable milk
- A pinch of salt without sodium
- Oat flakes
How to prepare chicken fingers
- Grind the garlic cloves with the parsley and a pinch of salt, mix with the milk and reserve.
- Cut the chicken into strips of a finger thick, place on a bowl and pour over the milk mixture. Let it marinate in the refrigerator for 4 or 5 hours - the longer you leave it, the better, so it will take more flavor -.
- After the indicated time, drain the chicken strips and top with the oats. Place on a greaseproof paper and bake at 170 ° until golden brown.
Now, enjoy a healthy and delicious fitness meal! And it is that eating well, does not mean always eating the same insipid and boring food. And if you want to add variety to your diet, without neglecting it, here you will find more healthy and delicious recipes.

Your Upfront FAQ
Related:Broadcast Makes Its Case
Industry Insider: What a Pro Looks for at the Upfronts
How will the rookies fare?
Not the shows, the executives. "I want to hear the visions of the two new network entertainment presidents," says former Madison Avenue exec Shari Anne Brill, referring to Bob Greenblatt of NBC and Paul Lee of ABC. (Mark Pedowitz of the CW is too new on the job to have had an impact on his network's pilots.)
Will someone show an entire pilot?
When a network really believes in a pilot, it will sometimes show the entire pilot to its upfront audience, rather than just show clips of the show's highlights. ABC did this successfully with Modern Family in 2009. It killed in the room, and the show has not slowed down since.
Will this be NBC's last lunchtime upfront?
"My guess is this will be the last year you see NBC do a luncheon presentation," says one buyer. NBC lost its status as the No. 1 network, then gave up its prime position of presenting its schedule on the opening night of the upfronts a few years ago. Fox grabbed the Monday-evening spot and for two years, NBC's upfront has been held on Monday afternoon. Fox isn't about to give up its catbird seat. "You're pretty fresh for the first one," the buyer says. "Little by little, you lose that intensity and concentration as the week goes on." Despite that, this buyer says NBC might be better off on Thursday afternoon than Monday before lunch. "The new bosses are going to want to be on an afternoon, if that's what the competition is doing."
What is ABC cooking up in the AdLab?
Walt Disney Co.'s Media Networks set up an advertising research lab in 2008 that was designed to test a variety of ad executions, including interactive, split screens, brand integration, sponsorships, addressable advertising, broadband video and mobile devices. ABC could have something to tell buyers about ad effectiveness during its presentation.
Will Simon Cowell appear at Fox's upfront? Will Paula Abdul sing and dance?
Fox has a tradition of entertaining media buyers with its on-air talent. American Idol finalists have sung. The cast of Glee has performed. This year, Cowell is back on Fox with The X Factor, with Adbul as a judge. Or if Fox really wants excitement, they could have newly hired sports guy Gus Johnson do his often-crazed play-by-play of the entire upfront.
Will Les Moonves—or anyone—take a parting shot at Jeff Zucker?
For nearly a decade, it seemed like CBS boss Les Moonves made an upfront ritual of tweaking Jeff Zucker, his rival at NBC. During CBS presentations, Zucker appeared as a punching bag and as a puppet who smashed through a wall. CBS has been kinder and gentler at its upfronts as its ranking improved, but just last month at the National Association of Broadcasters conference, Moonves took a poke at the former NBC boss, noting, "There's a difference between a failed programming executive and the model being broken." So Zucker may be gone. We'll see if he's forgotten.
Who won't be at the upfront?
Rino Scanzoni, who distributes billions in TV ad dollars as chief negotiating officer for GroupM, says he won't be attending the presentations. "I prefer to take them in online if I can," Scanzoni says. Why? "Not a fan of shrimp."

Matthijs De Ligt has suggested that regular playing time will sway whatever decision he makes on his future.
De Ligt is expected to leave Ajax this summer after attracting interest from across Europe.
Barcelona are keen to sign the Dutchman along with compatriot Frenkie De Jong, while PSG are said to be favourites.
But the centre-half has also been referred to as Jurgen Klopp's 'next triumph' – although we'd love to see him at Manchester United.
The 19-year-old discussed his future on Thursday after helping Netherlands reach the UEFA Nations League final with a 3-1 victory over England.
He said that "the most important thing is to play", which could rule Barca out of the equation.
"Obviously the Premier League is a great competition, but I haven't made up my mind yet," he told talkSPORT.
"I'm still looking at what to do.
"For me, the most important thing is to play. I think today showed what experience can do.
"Now I'm focusing on the next game against Portugal, that's the most important thing."

Do you have a personal Facebook account? If so, you can also make a "page" for your book. You can even pay to promote it. If not, it's really pretty easy.
Do you use Google? Google Blogs is available. There are also a LOT of other free blog hosts. You could even go the website route, though it requires money and knowing how to make one.
Is your E-Book gonna be on Amazon? Who is your publisher etc?

Are there any ways of timing/managing the appearance of a verb in an object's action menu? I'm thinking of the following type scenario:
The verb is "answer."
There's a phone. After five turns it starts ringing.
The appearance of an option to answer it makes sense at that point.
Before that, it doesn't.
here is link/guide (Pixie's) on doing this stuff:
and here's pixie's links/guides on using list/dictionary data types:
your 'verbs' are stored in the built-in 'displayverbs/inventoryverbs' Stringlist Attributes, which you can use the add/remove of their items ('verbs') to produce what you want (when to show/have the verbs and when not to)
ask if you need help on any of this stuff
Thank you for this. I am making some progress now. I think part of my earlier problems came from the fact that the necessary tabs weren't showing up for me. Now they are. I didn't think I had Quest set to simple mode. But maybe I did.
One other question I have concerns names for objects. I have found that in instances where an object has two or more words in its name (e.g., Hot Dog Seller), each word is recognized separately as well as in combination. So the command to look at "Hot", "Dog", or "Seller" all work for the same object. I can see this making things a little messy for me if I want to have multiple objects with similar names in one location. Is there a way to make only the full name acceptable?
mrangel and pixie can better talk about parsing issues/logic than I can, but generally the simple way is to avoid using spaces in your names, and/or ignoring the parsing issue/logic (for the most part) you can just get 'text' via your Command, and then have scripting to handle what you want, simple quick brief example:
<command name="custom_look_at_command>
<pattern>custom look at #text#</pattern>
if (text = "Hot Dog Seller") {
object_variable = GetObject (text)
// do whatever you want with 'object_variable' (which is storing the pointer/reference/address of/for your 'Hot Dog Seller' Object)
} else {
// whatever scripting
if you need help with using Commands and the scripting, please explain as best you can what you want and etc stuff, so that I can try to help you with doing whatever you want
Thank you for your help again. I think I follow it. I shall give it a go.
Your article is very useful, the content is great, I have read a lot of articles, but for your article, it left me a deep impression, thank you for sharing.

When I stare back into my life, I find that the last one year has brought me unique experiences, unique opportunities, and unique learnings, and most of that is because of my campus, which is unique in itself, and I'm proud of it.
I belong to IIM Rohtak, which is the first IIM in North India, and the only IIM in the NCR region. Isn't these enough to make it unique than other campuses? If not, there is much more in my list.
Idea: Sea of opportunities
I get extremely awestruck when I ponder upon the quantum of opportunities which I got here in one year. The students get a plethora of options to showcase their skills - The academic curriculum provides a platform for students to showcase their intelligence; the committees and clubs give overall industry experience to them; various live projects, guest lectures, and workshops provide them with the required managerial skills. Not to forget, the companies which visit the campus, offer great profiles to the students.
I would focus more on the opportunities related to Corporate Competitions, which have taught me more than anything else in last one year. I assume myself lucky to be a part of this campus, which in its initial years only, has earned a good name in the realm of corporate competitions. I got massive support from my seniors and I'm fortunate to have got such helpful peers who have taught me a lot in every domain. There's a dedicated Competition Cell (another unique thing) in the institute which prepares the students to excel in various corporate events, and after a great run in the Corporate Circuit, I can say for sure that they are fulfilling their duties to the greatest of extent.
Not only these, but there are many other extra-curricular activities which take place in the campus all-round the year. These events and activities provide the students with a platform to showcase their talent. We have Infusion (annual Cultural- Management- Sports fest), Mini Marathon, TEDx, and Film Summit which keep our campus husting at all times.
Planet Fashion: Style through skills
"Fashion is about something that comes from within you." Ralph Lauren conveyed the meaning of fashion in a precise manner. It is not only about the outfit, but the qualities a person has within him. Planet Fashion would then mean a place where many people flaunt their qualities in stylish forms.
At IIM Rohtak, students come from diverse backgrounds. In my batch, there are students from more than 20 states studying together. They come from various academic backgrounds, and they bring in diversity in several forms. To name a few distinguished personalities - There's a stand-up comedian in my batch, a national level TT player, a singer who has performed on MTV, an entrepreneur, and many other people with different stories. But one thing is common among them. They all can flaunt their skills, and they all deserve to be in this Planet Fashion.
When there are people with so many skills, it is natural to assume that the competitive intensity is very high here, whether regarding academic excellence, or various co-curricular activities, or other extra-curricular events. Despite this high intensity, the diverse skill-sets create a conducive atmosphere in the campus, where students can share their knowledge with peer-learning. The students show their mettle by synergizing the different skill-sets to create excellent results. This is witnessed by the performance of students in various corporate events and other competitions.
UltraTech: State-of-the-art Infrastructure
My campus' address has been recently changed. I consider myself fortunate be a part of the first batch to have come to the permanent site. The 200-acre campus is beautiful, with modern classrooms, latest technology, and robust structures. The facilities at the new campus are magnificent, where students are provided with single rooms, healthy and delicious food, and all other facilities which are important for the overall development of students.
Capital: Pioneers in Finance
When I joined the campus a year ago, I was slightly inclined towards a majors in Finance. The initial months strengthened my decision to take Finance as the majors. The faculty is very good here. Bloomberg terminals are installed in the campus, which give real-time information of the financial markets. There are some nice databases available on the campus, where students can get data related to the entire financial world in no time. Other than these, the Finance and Investment Club of IIM Rohtak played a prominent part in my decision of taking finance. I, being a part of the club now, say that it is committed to creating an atmosphere in the campus which fosters the finance culture in the campus.
More: Uniqueness does not end here
When I joined the institute, the seniors introduced us to the inherent culture of IM Rohtak, which is colloquially termed as Kathor (you get this if you write Rohtak from reverse). This includes being resilient in tough situations, being sacrosanct to deadlines, and always work towards the betterment of the institute.
It's been ten years since the commencement of my campus, and during all these years, it has gathered much uniqueness. I'm more than confident that it will continue to strive for excellence and would create a special place for itself among the league of various B-schools across the nation. IIM Rohtak has been foraying into other domains of management as well, and it recently started a specialized program in Sports management along with two executive programs. The junior batch which came on June 29, has a male to female ratio of 1:1. Such gender diversity is difficult to find on other campuses. From the inception itself, my campus has differentiated itself from other campuses. I hope the name of IIM Rohtak would always stand differentiated and unique among those of other campuses.
Favourite ABG company
I would love to work for Aditya Birla Capital Ltd. Being a finance-enthusiast, I've always aspired to work in the financial domain and getting an opportunity to work with a distinguished brand like that of ABCL would be a dream come true. With a strong presence across the asset management, wealth management, currency and commodity broking, online personal finance management and various other financial services, ABCL is committed to serving the end-to-end financial services needs of its retail and corporate customers.
In ABCL, I would get a platform to showcase my financial as well as management skills, and I would wholeheartedly work towards achieving the organizational goals of the company. I would get an opportunity to work with the best minds of the nation, and also to enhance my skill-set with which I can contribute more towards the growth of the organization.

The Skipping Stones Award-winning books promote an understanding of cultures, cultivate cooperation and/or encourage a deeper awareness of nature, ecology, and diversity. The honored titles offer many ways to explore and understand families, cultures, places, societies, and their histories for readers of all ages. This book, which is the 2nd in a series of unique bilingual alphabet books, was selected in the multicultural and international category that honors contributions which build bridges of communications, understanding social justice and peace.
The book presents a glimpse into the Hispanic culture and its traditions in alphabetical format. Educational and picturesque, this book teaches by example. It includes holidays, celebrations, games, as well as beliefs that are so deeply rooted in the Hispanic way of life. As an added extension of learning, it also includes a glossary of cultural objects and a map of Spanish-speaking countries with their respective flags for reference. This book is dedicated to the Hispanic children of the U.S. with the great desire that they continue to embrace and to cherish their culture, but it will also help children of all nationalities to learn more about the Hispanic culture and its traditions.

Modernization of "Alutsista" expected to suppress crimes in Indonesian waters
Jakarta (ANTARA News) - House of Representatives Commission III member Ahamd Sahroni is optimistic that modernization of the Weaponry System (Alutsista) in the Water and Air Police (Polairud) Corps would help maintain security and suppress crimes in Indonesian waters.
"I support the modernization of Alutsista in Polairud that can suppress crimes in Indonesian territorial waters and air in future," Sahroni remarked here on Tuesday.
The Nasdem Party politician pointed out that the perpetrators of crimes in the waters not only constantly changed their modus operandi by involving traditional fishermen as a guise but also employed more sophisticated tools, such as telecommunications.
Furthermore, he noted that several alternative paths along the coast of Indonesia had posed a separate obstacle, in terms of supervision.
However, the modernization of Alutsista, including the addition of fleet, is expected to optimize the surveillance of crimes in Indonesian waters.
"The perpetrators of crimes continue to improve their modes of operation in addition to developing the tools they use, one of which is certainly telecommunications. They also make use of several loopholes in the form of small jetties, or commonly called "mouse paths," along the coast of Indonesia," he explained.
Sahroni then expressed hope that with the addition of a fleet of 23 ships and aircraft and Polairud helicopters, supervision in the waters will be maximized, so that smuggling into and out of Indonesia can be suppressed.
He also stressed the importance of synergy between stakeholders in the waters, including with the Indonesian Maritime Security Agency (Bakamla), Indonesian Navy, and Customs.
With the modernization of Alutsista, significant attention is expected to be directed to addressing serious crimes, such as the smuggling of drugs, weapons, and various natural resources as well as illegal sending of migrant workers abroad.

Video Notes:
If you come to the Bible as a critic, the Bible will be a closed book to you. Your heart will be as hard at the end as it was at the beginning.
If you are going to move beyond hardness of heart, you have to humble yourself before God and open his Word with an honest recognition of your true position before him:
- "God, I don't even know you, so I need you to make yourself known to me through your Word."
- "Lord, the truth is not in me – I need you to teach me through your Word."
- "Lord, I do not have faith – I need you to give me faith through your Word."
- "Lord, the inclination of my heart is to turn from you – create a new desire in me through your Word."
- Lord, I do not have your love in my heart. Show me the love of Christ, and pour out that love into my heart by your Holy Spirit."
- "Lord, I have been seeking the wrong kind of glory, so create within me a new heart that seeks the glory that comes from you alone."
- "Lord, I have put my hope in all the wrong places, lead me to a hope that will not be put to shame."
Face the truth about yourself. Find the truth about Jesus. The Savior says these things so that you may be saved.

For the past few weeks, I have been thinking a lot about how to be a better leader, how to do a better job of organizing and inspiring people around a common vision with healthy relationships, and one conclusion kept coming back to me. I need to do a better job of communicating what is truly important to those who are truly important.
That's why I'm starting this weekly post. It is my intention to write a summary of the goings on at LCC each week that will primarily be aimed at the leaders and volunteers of our church, but you can listen in to the conversation too. Continue reading


text: Benoire 10 · ID: 1 Posted October 25, 2018 I'm currently thinking about virtualising my server again as I've been using VMM and its pretty poor compared to ESXi. I edited the grub.cfg to boot from ESXi effectively and created the vmdks. The loader works and I can install DSM to the test drive I created, however it is shown starting at drive bay 9. This appears to be because you have to boot the loader using SATA not parallel and so it counts any sata ports in ESXi as available. My sataportmap config was set to 88 as that is currently what the baremetal is using the 2 LSI cards but I wonder if it should in fact be sataportmap = 088 as that would give the first controller 0 ports and then allow my SAS HBAs to take the first set of slots, would that work? I'm in a test environment so can play around lots but would like to resolve this prior to the weekend. Any thoughts are appreciated. Chris Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DENVER (AP) Gary Stone pulled a 78-rpm record from its paper sleeve. He placed the disc, which weighed about as much as a Big Mac, atop a felt-covered turntable. Its mahogany cabinet boasted as much craftsmanship as anything in an Ethan Allen store.
A stainless-steel needle hit the platters grooves. There was a crackling, then the vibrant, patrician voice of President Franklin D. Roosevelt jumped out, announcing to Americans that they had just lived through a day of infamy, but that the foe would be fought and vanquished.
Every time I hear that I get tingly and emotional, said Stone, who lives in Northglenn. Just listen to the anger in FDRs voice. Hes telling the country were going to war, yet no one could imagine what lay ahead.
Its as if youre sitting in front of a tube radio on a cold December evening in 1941.
The lure of owning an aural time tunnel in this case a Victor II Humpback Phonograph from 1904 is what binds Stone and his fellow collectors in the Old West Antique Phonograph Society.
Its an addiction, Ill be honest, Stone said. You get hooked on it, and if youre not disciplined it becomes an obsession.
The machines are marvels, embodying a timeline of technological innovation that started when Thomas Edison with 1,093 U.S. patents launched the Edison Speaking Phonograph Co. in 1878. (Phonograph, for the record, was Edisons coinage.)
There is also a deep aesthetic appeal. Cabinets were fashioned by master craftsmen from fine woods such as mahogany, quartersawed oak and birds-eye maple.
Price tags on the machines run from hundreds to thousands of dollars. Collectors vie for them on Craigslist and eBay.
Each of these has a different story, Stone said of his 10 machines. Theyre amazing. They were all handmade, and the wood they used was beautiful. You just dont see that today.
One of his prizes is a Victrola 18 model from 1915. Housed in a burnished mahogany cabinet, the machine cost $315 in its day more than a car. It was later modified with an orthophonic speaker, an upgrade that was sort of the Dolby system of its day.
Its my pride and joy, he said.
Stones wife is good-natured about his collection, referring to the parlor as the toy room, though lately she has imposed a buy a new one, sell an old one caveat.
She probably hasnt seen Bob Stapels house.
On a recent evening, club members descended on Stapels house in southeast Denver. Stapel is a popular figure among these folks, in no small part, because hes a master repairman and restorer of the machines.
Stapels house is something of a museum to the early recording industry. The shelves of his workshop, redolent of machine oil, sag with spare parts.
His collection includes numerous players from early in the last century: an Edison William & Mary model with an intricate filigree, a couple of French Pathes and a Columbia AF Graphophone with two rubber earplugs, just in case your teenager was driving you nuts playing Over There.
Stapel also collects ephemera, and Stone pointed out a turn-of-the-century record-cylinder cabinet that he covets. Im still trying to find one, he said.
For Stapel, who an attorney, scoring the wooden box was the result of a practiced eye.
The lady I bought it from called it a lingerie drawer, but I saw the pegs in it to put the cylinders on, so I knew what it was, he said. It was a real find.
Club member Fred Williams delights in cylinder players, where a steel needle traced a mechanical track across a spinning wheel. One of his machines is an Edison General, built in 1899 as an answer to the 1898 Columbia Model Q, with its clockwork motor.
His passion runs deep.
Its all about the hunting, he said. See this? Its a recording of President William Howard Taft. An original, from 1905, not a rerecording. Who else has that? Me.
Some record collectors specialize, concentrating on vaudeville acts, historical recordings or the works of a specific artist say, pianist Jelly Roll Morton or Bix Beiderbecke, the cornet titan.
There are other collector niches, too.
Curt Vogt specializes in the record brushes used to keep 78s clean. They are housed in their original ornate tins, many of them stamped with the colorful logos of the stores that carried them. Vogt pointed to a cabinet holding an array of tins, brands from such labels as Okeh and the American Musician Co.
When I started collecting, I couldnt really afford the machines themselves, said Vogt, who works at Rockler Woodworking and Hardware in Denver. Plus, I was in the Air Force, and most of the machines dont meet the weight restrictions for traveling.
Stone has several hundred recordings, culled mainly from auctions and to a lesser extent from antiques stores. Stores arent the best place to find things because theyre often picked through, and it takes hours to go through the stocks, he said.
The recordings recall another time.
Listen to Stones century- old recording of The Star-Spangled Banner through a conical, witchs hat horn, and you hear a version of the song with none of the melisma and swooping vocal tricks found in performers at todays ballgames. The singer gets the words right, too.
Funny thing, how once-cutting-edge technology is reduced to an archaic novelty. Sonys Walkman is nearly there. The iPod will be there soon enough.
Somehow, it seems doubtful these inventions, in their compact plastic casings, will enthrall people on the cusp of the 22nd century.
I bring kids in from the neighborhood, and they look at these machines with practically no reaction, Stone said. Theyre puzzled by it. Then I play them something, and theyre mesmerized.

Thousands of businesses and residents in the Eastern Cape are facing the reality of not having electricity, even though they have paid for the service, because their municipalities have failed to pay Eskom.
Eskom has announced planned power disruptions that will cripple the already failing Eastern Cape economy. Businesses will be forced to close their doors and thousands of jobs stand to be lost.
This is a clear indication of how the ANC have failed the people of the Eastern Cape. The failing ANC is failing in the delivery of the most basic of services.
In a notice issued last week, Eskom informed Dr Beyers Naude, Inxuba Yethemba and Great Kei municipalities that they had taken the decision to proceed with the contemplated interruption of bulk electricity supply. This was because the municipalities had not reached a payment agreement with the power utility for outstanding debt.
The interruption is scheduled to begin from the 30th of October, with the first week seeing an interruption of supply between 06:00 to 09:00 and again between 17:00 and 20:30 from Monday to Friday and then again between 06:30 and 12:00 and again from 15:00 to 17:00 over the weekend.
Thereafter the power disruptions are expected to ramp up, with the municipalities being without power from 06:00 to 20:00 daily.
It is fundamentally unfair to punish the residents of these municipalities for the failures of the administration. The question of how the debt was allowed to escalate into tens of millions also has to be asked.
The Dr Beyers Naude municipality has responded saying that, ever since its establishment in August 2016 through the amalgamation of the Camdeboo, Baviaans and Ikwezi Municipality, it has been experiencing financial difficulties, including debt owed to Eskom.
The municipality has indicated that it has offered three payment arrangements, to no avail. It further alleges that Eskom has been overcharging the municipalities of Steytlerville (32%), Willowmore (27%), Jansenville (28.19%) and Aberdeen (29.5%).
What is also worth noting is that the bulk of the Dr Beyers Naude's debt is from the Ikwezi Municipality. Towns in the former Camdeboo and Baviaans Municipalities, who have settled their debt, will be punished severely for this historical debt.
Instead of punishing residents who have paid for electricity, Eskom should go after the officials who failed to pay it over.
I have written to the MEC for Co-operative Governance, Fikile Xasa, asking for his urgent intervention in this regard, to prevent the economy and the people of the Eastern Cape, being negatively affected.
SEE: Letter to MEC Xasa
Under a DA-led government, critical interventions would be put in place to ensure a speed up of service delivery for all South Africans.
