Activity tables for the youngest children. These height adjustable activity tables can be set just 18 inches off the ground. That makes it a perfect size activity table for even toddlers. Let the youngest children have their own place at the activity table. Six youngsters can find a place at these 48 inch long tables. Since you can adjust the height, the same table can be used for older children. As with everything we carry that is geared for use with children, our tables are durable and safe. A high pressure laminate top resists nicks, dents and scratches, wipes clean easily, and retains its cheerful finish, year after year.
These tables are great for nursery schools and daycare centers - anywhere young children spend a part of their day doing projects that require them to be off the ground. Often times toddlers must do projects on the ground because there are no tables low enough to accommodate them but that makes for an environment that quickly gets messy. Use a right-sized activity table instead and keep the room clean and well organized.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Officials say a former Los Angeles County sheriff's deputy has died as a result of injuries suffered when he was shot in the head 24 years ago.
Deputy Steven Belanger was 29 years old when he was struck by gunfire during a traffic stop in December 1994. The bullet lodged in his brain and could not be removed.
The Association for Los Angeles Deputy Sheriffs says Belanger died Tuesday at age 52. The union says Belanger's retirement, ongoing health issues and death were all related to the shooting.
Funeral arrangements are pending.
The man who shot Belanger killed himself later the same day.

Roland S. Persson, Ph.D., is professor of educational psychology at Jönköping University, Sweden, currently in the University's Human Resources Program. Once a Western classical piano performer, his interests developed into music behavior, talent and giftedness, and universal and cross-cultural behavior. He is a consultant to the Swedish and Hungarian governments on issues of talent and giftedness in education, and one of few devoted to giftedness, rather than talent, as a constituent of talent management.
We've been led to believe competition helps us excel. But if we look at its evolutionary function, says Dr. Roland Persson, we see a much more complex picture.
It's fashionable to argue that it's better to fight for something and die trying than to surrender and admit defeat. In this article, Roland Persson argues that while we believe this for a reason, it's not because of objective knowledge of human behavior. So what's an extremely gifted person to do? Persson offers some thoughts on the pursuit of happiness for those who are simply never going to fit in.

A heel spur is defined as a small bony protrusion that extends from the heel to the sole of the foot. Typical reasons for the condition to develop may be due to an injury, which may tear a portion of the heel bone, muscle, or ligament strains. Hard calcium deposits may develop under the heel, gradually forming a heel spur. People who are overweight, or those who participate in running and jumping activities may be more susceptible in developing heel spurs, in addition to those patients who wear shoes that do not fit correctly. There are several symptoms that may accompany this ailment, including pain that is felt in the heel for the majority of the day, inflammation, and tenderness. If you feel you may have a heel spur, it's suggested to consult with a podiatrist, who can perform a proper diagnosis followed by advice on correct treatment options.
Heel spurs can be incredibly painful and sometimes may make you unable to participate in physical activities. To get medical care for your heel spurs, contact Dr. Alexander Terris from Total Foot Care. Our doctor will do everything possible to treat your condition.
Heels Spurs
Heel spurs are formed by calcium deposits on the back of the foot where the heel is. This can also be caused by small fragments of bone breaking off one section of the foot, attaching onto the back of the foot. Heel spurs can also be bone growth on the back of the foot and may grow in the direction of the arch of the foot.
Older individuals usually suffer from heel spurs and pain sometimes intensifies with age. One of the main condition's spurs are related to is plantar fasciitis.
The pain associated with spurs is often because of weight placed on the feet. When someone is walking, their entire weight is concentrated on the feet. Bone spurs then have the tendency to affect other bones and tissues around the foot. As the pain continues, the feet will become tender and sensitive over time.
There are many ways to treat heel spurs. If one is suffering from heel spurs in conjunction with pain, there are several methods for healing. Medication, surgery, and herbal care are some options.
If you have any questions feel free to contact our office located in Wilmington, DE. We offer the latest in diagnostic and treatment technology to meet your needs.Read more about How to Treat Heel Spurs
According to a survey, "20 percent of adults in the United States experience cracked skin on their feet." Cracked heels are the result of an insufficient amount of moisture on the feet. In severe cases, cracks can eventually become sore and start to bleed. There are many reasons why a person's feet may begin to dry out. Although more obvious causes for dry skin are cold weather or dehydration, many may not know that taking hot baths and hot showers can cause your skin to dry out. If your cracked heels are caused by an underlying medical condition, it is important that you do not treat them on your own. You may need the help of a podiatrist to treat your dry skin, regardless of your medical history. He or she will be able to recommend the best treatment option for you based on your consultation.
If the skin on your feet starts to crack, you may want to see a podiatrist to find treatment. If you have any concerns, contact Dr. Alexander Terris from Total Foot Care. Our doctor can provide the care you need to keep you pain-free and on your feet.
Cracked Heels
It is important to moisturize your cracked heels in order to prevent pain, bleeding, and infection. The reason cracked heels form is because the skin on the foot is too dry to support the immense pressure placed on them. When the foot expands, the dry skin on the foot begins to split.
Ways to Help Heal Them
Ways to Prevent Cracked Heels
If you are unsure how to proceed in treating cracked heels, seek guidance from a podiatrist. Your doctor will help you with any questions or information you may need.

A form of arthritis that attacks the joints in the big toe is often referred to as gout. This condition may typically occur abruptly, and obvious symptoms may include severe pain and discomfort, swollen joints, and redness. It develops as a result of excess uric acid in the blood, which can form crystals in the joints. This may occur because of specific foods that are ingested, including an overabundance of shellfish, alcohol, or red meat. Some patients may develop this ailment from inherited genes, being overweight, and taking certain medications. If you are afflicted by this type of arthritis, it's important that it is treated as quickly as possible, to avoid the development of additional complications. Please speak with a podiatrist about the treatment options that are right for you.
Gout is a painful condition that can be treated. If you are seeking treatment, contact Dr. Alexander Terris from Total Foot Care. Our doctor will treat your foot and ankle needs.
What is Gout?
Gout is a form of arthritis that is characterized by sudden, severe attacks of pain, redness, and tenderness in the joints. The condition usually affects the joint at the base of the big toe. A gout attack can occur at any random time, such as the middle of the night while you are asleep.
Risk Factors
Prior to visiting your podiatrist to receive treatment for gout, there are a few things you should do beforehand. If you have gout you should write down your symptoms--including when they started and how often you experience them, important medical information you may have, and any questions you may have. Writing down these three things will help your podiatrist in assessing your specific situation so that he or she may provide the best route of treatment for you.

If you find that your child complains of pain in the heel area of the foot, you may want to see if a plantar wart is present. A wart that develops and grows on the heel of the foot is referred to as a plantar wart. Despite the fact that it is known to be a harmless skin growth, it may generate severe pain and discomfort while walking. While many types of warts are visible on other parts of the body, a plantar wart grows inward as a result of the pressure the heel endures while walking, and may be difficult to notice. It is generally contagious, and may easily spread to other parts of the body. It's suggested that your child refrains from sharing towels in addition to wearing protective shoes in public pools and shower areas. If your child develops a fever or if you notice liquid that drains from the wart, it's advised to consult with a podiatrist as quickly as possible to learn about correct treatment options.
Plantar warts can be very uncomfortable. If you need your feet checked, contact Dr. Alexander Terris from Total Foot Care. Our doctor will assist you with all of your foot and ankle needs.
About Plantar Warts
Plantar warts are the result of HPV, or human papillomavirus, getting into open wounds on the feet. They are mostly found on the heels or balls of the feet.
While plantar warts are generally harmless, those experiencing excessive pain or those suffering from diabetes or a compromised immune system require immediate medical care. Plantar warts are easily diagnosed, usually through scraping off a bit of rough skin or by getting a biopsy.
To help prevent developing plantar warts, avoid walking barefoot over abrasive surfaces that can cause cuts or wounds for HPV to get into. Avoiding direct contact with other warts, as well as not picking or rubbing existing warts, can help prevent the further spread of plantar warts. However, if you think you have developed plantar warts, speak to your podiatrist. He or she can diagnose the warts on your feet and recommend the appropriate treatment options.
If you have any questions please feel free to contact our office located in Wilmington, DE. We offer the newest diagnostic and treatment technologies for all your foot and ankle needs.Read more about All About Plantar Warts

HP will ship Netscape's Web browser as standard on new PCs from early next year, the computer giant has announced.
Netscape 8.0 browser will appear on all HP computers in the US and Canada, with links both in the Start menu and on the desktop of Windows XP. Users will also be able to make the browser their default choice when setting up the computer.
Microsoft's Internet Explorer browser currently dominates the market, but Netscape developed the first Web browser to enjoy widespread adoption. Now part of AOL, Netscape has continued to develop its browser as an alternative to the much-reported security flaws found in Explorer.
At one point in the 1990s, most PC companies shipped both browsers on their PCs. But Microsoft took the decision to integrate Explorer with Windows and started pressuring companies not to add or use Netscape, sparking one part of the anti-trust lawsuits taken out against the software giant.
"We think this is the first actual non-Explorer browser to be included on any [Windows] PC since the 1990s," said an HP spokesman.
Netscape 8.0 shares the same code base as the open-source Firefox browser, but it also uses rendering technology found within Explorer that Firefox does not, allowing Netscape users to view some Web pages that do not load fully in Firefox.
The browser comes with a list of trusted websites that require the Explorer rendering engine to deliver the best viewing experience, and automatically switches to that engine when they are visited. Netscape users can set the Explorer rendering engine as their default option, but would then be exposed to malicious code written to exploit it.
HP's PC group surveyed customers on their Web-browsing preferences, and enough of them expressed an interest in having a choice of default browsers for HP to move forward with the deal, said Nick Labosky, director of worldwide consumer PC beyond-the-box at HP. The company chose Netscape because of the dual rendering engines, he said.
HP admitted however that Netscape was also paying it to distribute the browser. He declined to give details.

Immigration Focus Misses the Problem
Posted by The Lincoln Institute of Public Opinon Research in Lincoln Institute, Lowman Henry, Opinion on July 7, 2015
Donald Trump's comments on illegal immigrants have ignited the latest firestorm to engulf the herd of candidates seeking the 2016 Republican presidential nomination. But by continuing to focus on illegal immigration the debate misses a much larger problem: the sad state of America's relationship with our neighbor to the south.
Two wars and instability in the mid-east, Russian aggression, and Chinese economic warfare have pushed U.S.-Mexican relations to the foreign policy back burner. David Shirk, a global fellow at the Woodrow Wilson Center for International Scholars in Washington, D.C. summed it up well saying: "I think the challenge, the problem is that Mexico is actually quite important to the United States, but (President Barack) Obama is so embattled on so many fronts that he hasn't been able to give Mexico the bandwidth that it deserves . . ."
U.S. – Mexican relations have been fraught with difficulty and conflict for centuries. President James K. Polk, out of a sense of Manifest Destiny, fought the Mexican-American War which ended in 1848 with the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo establishing the Rio Grande as the border between U.S. and Mexico and giving the United States what is now the American southwest.
It's hard to tell whether or not Mexico still harbors a grudge against losing nearly one-third of its territory centuries ago, but the current state of relations between the two nations is hardly what one would expect given our close economic ties. That bond was strengthened by enactment of the North American Free Trade Agreement during the Clinton Administration making the United States Mexico's top trading partner.
Census data shows that since 1980 Mexicans have been the largest immigrant group into the United States. From 1990-2010 more than 7.5 million immigrants, many illegal, have poured over the border into this country. Some have moved on, to Canada, Spain and even Guatemala, but most have stayed.
The scope of the problem is clear, but upon even casual reflection so too are the causes. The Mexican economy is in the dumpster and the nation is riddled by internal conflict between the government and drug cartels, and among the drug cartels themselves. Add in a healthy dose of government corruption and it is clear the Mexican state is dysfunctional leading many citizens to give up hope and move north in search of a better life.
Problems begin with the government itself. "Corruption and weakness in Mexico's judicial and police sectors have largely allowed the drug trade to flourish," concluded a report by the Council on Foreign Relations. And flourish it has; 90% of the illegal drugs entering the United States originate or arrive via Mexico. Mexico is the prime source of marijuana and methamphetamines sold in the U.S. This trade comes at a significant cost, as more than 60,000 Mexicans have died in domestic drug-related violence since 2006.
U.S. – Mexican relations hit a low point last year when the government of President Enrique Pena Nieto allowed U.S. Marine reservist Sgt. Andrew Tahmoressi to languish in a Mexican prison for 214 days after he inadvertently wandered over the border. The irony of Mexico holding one American who crossed the border while millions of Mexicans cross into the U.S. unfettered was not lost on many.
With its economy in shambles, corruption rampant and the drug trade pervasive immigration to the United States, legal and illegal, has continued at a brisk pace slowing only during the Great Recession when U.S. job opportunities also dried up. As the U.S. slowly recovers from that recession, the pace of immigration is also likely to accelerate.
All the while the American political establishment continues to fixate on the symptom rather than the cause of the problem. Unless and until Mexico can get its own affairs in order, immigrants will continue to stream north. Mexicans would be less likely to leave family and cultural ties behind to face an uncertain fate in the United States if they were safe, secure and had economic opportunities in their homeland.
Much of this, unfortunately, is outside the ability of the United States to fix. Massive corruption and political instability are matters which Mexico must address internally. But U.S. foreign policy must focus more intently on our southern neighbor to quash the drug trade and to foster a more robust Mexican economy. By so doing we will stop addressing symptoms and begin to cure the cause of the immigration problem.

Huddled Masses
Posted by The Lincoln Institute of Public Opinon Research in Lincoln Institute, Lowman Henry, Opinion on July 16, 2014
The flood of illegal immigrants crossing America's southern border has become a crisis. Those arriving are not "undocumented" or "refugees," what is occurring is a blatant disregard for the immigration policies of the United States, however flawed those policies may be. We are not dealing with immigrants "yearning to breathe free," rather this is Mexico and the countries of central America dumping their economically dispossessed, gangs and criminals on our doorstep.
This is a humanitarian crisis, with reports of the bodies of small children washing up on the shores of the Rio Grande. It is a law enforcement crisis as drug cartel "coyotes" transport illegals across the border for money. It is a political crisis as leaders of both parties have been unable to come together to develop a coherent immigration policy. It is a foreign policy crisis as Mexico detains one U.S. Marine who accidentally wandered into their territory while sending tens of thousands across our borders and suffering no ill consequence. It is a constitutional crisis as our president refuses to perform his sworn duties and enforce the immigration laws passed by congress.
The degree of President Obama's arrogance on this matter was on full display last week as he played pool and drank beer during a visit to Texas rather than tour the border and holding facilities. Imagine the uproar if President Bush had gone to New Orleans in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina and instead of delivering a substantial address while standing in front of the St. Louis Cathedral he had gone off for some Beignets at Café du Monde?
Media reports would have us believe that those flooding across the U.S. border with Mexico are small children looking for a better life in the United States. They are often referred to as "dreamers," an effort to slap lipstick on the immigration crisis pig. While some are small children, the fact is criminals, drug dealers, and those sick with infectious diseases are also arriving in the current wave. And how does it benefit those who are small children to separate them from parents and send them into camps filled with miscreants and disease?
The preponderance of the blame for this situation lays with the president and his administration whose refusal to establish effective border security and whose political pronouncements telegraphed an open border policy to Mexico and its southern neighbors. Administration spokesmen engage in Orwellian double speak, a frequent dialect in this White House, claiming the borders are more secure than ever. Really? So the most secure border ever has resulted in a wave of illegal immigrants that have so overwhelmed the system more border control agents are attending to basic human needs than providing security?
Former White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel once said no good crisis should ever go to waste. By that he meant a crisis gives the president the opportunity to take actions he might not otherwise be able to take. That is why the Obama Administration has allowed the current immigration crisis to occur. It was predictable and encouraged and designed to help the president achieve his personal political goal of letting tens of thousands of new immigrants – who will become dependent on the government services his party champions, and ultimately voters for future progressive regimes.
Against the backdrop of this harsh reality Republicans and responsible Democrats in congress must act quickly to change current law allowing those who have crossed the border to be sent back immediately. The current process is unenforceable, unrealistic and partially to blame for triggering the crisis now unfolding. Then, steps must be taken – including the deployment of troops – to seal off the nation's southern border. And finally, congressional leaders must come together to craft a reasonable and enforceable immigration policy going forward.
A nation is not truly a nation if it cannot control its own borders. The time has come for us to regain control of ours.

6 New Listings (click to see)
4 In Escrow (click to see)
3 Closed Sales (click to see)
50 Active Listings in Hermosa Beach
Actives by Hermosa Areas:
Sand Section: 26 Active listings
Valley Section: 7 Active listings
East Hermosa: 17 Active listings
This is a market snapshot of Hermosa Beach Real Estate over the last 7 days. We are not presenting these properties as our listings. Click the IDX link above to see the recent Active, Pending and Closed properties in HB.
1004 6th Listed for $1,995,000 4 bed/3.5 bath
This attached townhome was built in 2003 and has ocean views from the rooftop. It is a large townhome with over 3,300 sq. ft. Since the 2 townhomes are attached, there isn't a setback requirement/building code (distance in between the 2 townhomes, which can be as much as 20 feet), allowing that space to be used as living sq. footage, thus making it potentially larger in size. This property last sold in 2006 for $1,750,000.
618 1st Listed for $1,299,000 3 bed/3 bath
This home first hit the market in August 2016 for $100K more, however after about 3 months, it was cancelled and put back on the market 3 days later. Hence, it has really been on the market for 97 days. . This is a detached townhome that is located one block north of Herondo, which is the Hermosa/South Redondo border. It last sold in 1999 for $450K. The other townhome on this lot, 616 1st last sold when it was built in 1998 for $487K.
1239 9th Listed for $1,188,000 3 bed/1.5 bath
Another re-list. It has been on the market for 63 days. This one is located east of Prospect and approximately 6 homes from Redondo.
908 17th Listed for $2,890,000 3 bed/3.5 bath
This brand new detached townhome is located a few houses east of PCH. This complex has 4 townhomes. The land (920 17th) sold for $1M in 2011. This is a huge asking price east of PCH.
535 Hollowell Listed for $2,399,000 5 bed/4 bath
It seems this week is the week of cancelling listings and relisting them right away in order to make it look like a new listing. This property has been on the market for 81 days. The dirt was purchased for $800,000 in 2014.
920 Loma Dr Listed for $1,597,500 3 bed/2 bath
Once again…this property has been on the market for 54 days, yet looks like a new listing. Same agent…same home…lower price! This property is located on the west side of Clark field.
1866 Rhodes St Listed for $1,489,000 3 bed/3.25 bath
It only took a week to find a buyer for this home. It's a single family home that is located a small block east of PCH and sits up on the crest of Rhodes, giving it nice ocean views off in the distance. This property last sold 20 years ago for $235K.
545 8th St Listed for $1,300,000 3 bed/2 bath
Another one that went quickly into escrow! Apparently this single family home is zoned to allow 3 units on this lot. This property is likely a complete teardown. The location is a few houses south of Cypress Park, right on the busy intersection of 8th and Valley. My prediction is that this one will sell for at least $200,000 over the listing price based on how low the initial asking price is. I've heard they have had a handful of offers.
1865 Prospect Listed for $1,665,000 4 bed/3 bath
This single family home is located east of PCH. It is the first time it's been on the market since it was purchased in 1973…for $23,500.
3205 Highland Listed for $2,800,000 4 bed/3 bath
After about a month, this property has a buyer, It is located just a few blocks from the beach. There is a rental unit on the back alley.
516 24th ST Sold for $1,380,000 2 bed/1.5 bath
After a few months and a $19K reduction from the most recent asking price, this one has sold. It first hit the market in June of this year for $1,559,000 and didn't sell. It then came back on the market for $160K less. This single family home is located about 5 blocks from the beach. It sold in 2012 for $965K…however there have been some upgrades since that time. It's a very cute Hermosa style beach cottage with some backyard area. We liked this property.
438 28th St Sold for $1,900,000 4 bed/2.5 bath
This one has sold for almost $400K below the original asking price. The home was last purchased in 2005 for $1,312,000, but has since been remodeled and updated.
Here is another recent sale down the street.
906 3rd St Sold for $1,149,000 2 bed/2.5 bath
This single family home is located about 9 properties east of PCH. It last sold in 2010 for $800K. It seems to be priced well.
If you have any questions about the previous properties or any other properties here in Hermosa Beach or the South Bay area, please call or text me direct at 310-613-1690 or email me at email@example.com

On the Modeling of an Emitting Cylindrical Transducer With a Piezoelectric Polymer Membrane
This work aims at providing a theoretical description of an ultrasonic emitting transducer, which consists of a cylindrical Polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) membrane coupled to an air-filled back-cavity. Based on the fundamental equations of piezoelectricity and linear acoustics, and assuming axisymmetrical geometry, an analytical model which describes the coupling of the displacement field of the membrane with the pressure fields on both of its sides is presented. Solutions are obtained using modal expansion theory for the displacement field of the membrane and for the acoustic pressure field in the axial-direction of the back-cavity. This model permits to predict the resonances of the system, which are not taken into account in an earlier work. A lumped elements network is then derived from the analytical solution, valid in the lowest frequency range, when keeping only one mode and when considering two levels of approximations. Comparison between measurement results and theoretical ones of the pressure radiated by two prototypes of emitter shows an overall good agreement.

Home » Latest News » Glengoyne unveils duty-free exclusive Spirit of Oak Collection at World Duty Free
Ian Macleod Distillers, one of the world's top 10 whisky suppliers, is introducing its exclusive travel retail range for its premium Highland Single Malt Scotch whisky brand Glengoyne into all World Duty Free managed UK airport stores.
The Glengoyne Spirit of Oak Collection includes four Highland Single Malt expressions, each carefully created to showcase the exceptional sherry oak casks used to mature Glengoyne Distillery's unique spirit. The collection is presented in an award-winning* range of distinctive gift packs, sporting embossed descriptors and the signature of Glengoyne Distillery Manager, Robbie Hughes.
Available in World Duty Free stores across UK airports from this month are Glengoyne Cuartillo and Glengoyne Balbaína.
Glengoyne Cuartillo 1L (RRP £49.99) is matured with hand-selected first fill American Oak Oloroso sherry casks at its heart and has notes of toffee, green apple and vanilla, with a hint of cinnamon. Glengoyne Balbaína 1L (RRP £58.99) by contrast has first fill European Oak Oloroso sherry casks at its heart and is reminiscent of luxurious honey, with raisins, red apples and cloves.
Launching in January 2019 are Glengoyne Pedro Xíménez Cask Finish and Glengoyne 28 Year Old. The super-premium Glengoyne Pedro Xíménez Cask Finish 70cl (RRP £89) is rich and intense with flavours of fresh oak, spice and a touch of caramelised sugar on the palate, following careful maturation in European and American oak and a finish in fine Pedro Xíménez sherry casks, making it a great gift. The ultra-premium and very scarce Glengoyne 28 Year Old 70cl (RRP £420) is complex, with a heart of rich fruit and elegant spice, following over a quarter century in the finest first fill sherry casks – a dram with exceptional heritage.
Known as the unhurried malt, Glengoyne Highland Single Malt Scotch whisky is crafted to a 200 year old recipe and process which uses the slowest stills in Scotland and is famously one of the only Scottish whiskies to be distilled from completely unpeated malted barley.
Glengoyne, a name which has evolved from the gaelic Glenguin, which means Glen of the Wild Geese, dates back to 1833 and is the most southern of the Highland distilleries and considered to be one of Scotland's most beautiful. Located barely 15 miles north of Glasgow it is ranked in the top three most visited distilleries in Scotland**, with over 87,000 visitors in 2017.
"We are delighted that Glengoyne is returning to UK airports, as we know there have been frequent requests from travellers and malt enthusiasts as they have been passing through UK airports," says Ian Macleod Distillers' Global Travel Retail Director, William Ovens.
"Our range gives consumers the unique opportunity to explore whiskies which have been matured in a range of high quality sherry oak casks – a process which is rooted in the DNA of Glengoyne."

Connecting ERP / CRM Sales Data
The best way to successfully address a sales analytics challenge begins by building an integrated database: customer sales data, customer master files, sales force leads, activities and judgements, financial information and, if possible, relevant third-party data. Furthermore, if you are in a classic Business-to-Business (B2B) segment, remember that most of your future sales will come from your present customers.
The professional version of Qymatix can connect to several of the databases mentioned above. If you have your data on a system not listed in our service, drop us a line, and we will have a look at it. We can also assist you with our implementation service.
Qymatix offers you three flexible ways to implement your sales analytics solution. You don't need to be an IT expert, and you don't need to worry about an expensive project. Here you have more information about implementation of sales analytics.
If you want to perform this data connection yourself, you have three options, listed below.
1 – Uploading sales data using Excel templates
If you can handle sales data yourself, the quickest way to connect it to Qymatix is using our standard sales templates.
In the CRM version, you can upload sales data based on four templates: Accounts, Contacts, Sales Plans and Sales Activities. In the Professional and Advanced versions, you can also upload Sales Transactions.
The manual upload options are not intended for migrations of big amounts of data. If you need assistance migrating or uploading thousands of records from an older CRM system or database, contact us first.
Please only upload less than 5 MB of sales data in the templates provided and in CSV format. Do not change the name of the headers in the templates and watch for fixed options, for example in the type of customer or industry.
Once your sales data is in the given format, just select them and drop them in the designated area. You will get a message after the upload process is complete.
If you are to upload contacts, actions or sales plans corresponding to existing accounts or customers, make sure you add the right customer's ID in the field provided. If you do not have the customers IDs, you can download first your existing accounts.
Remember that with just one click, you can anytime also export your contacts, sales plans and sales actions in CSV format.
If our software connects to your ERP or you are uploading sales transactions make sure you provide enough records. You will need to provide at least a hundred sales transactions to perform a significant sales analysis. Providing the price and the margin of each operation significantly improves the analysis. Upload them.
Make sure to save numbers as 'numbers' and all with the same format and currency. Check for invisible or special characters. If you find any problem, contact us.
2 – Connecting sales data using webMethods (Professional and Advanced Version)
To connect your sales data using webMethods Integration Cloud from Software AG, you need to log into webMethods and then add a new integration. Technical knowledge might be needed.
3 – Connecting sales data from other ERP / CRM systems (Professional and Advanced Version)
You can connect other ERP systems using the Qymatix Application Programming Interface (API).
To access our API, you first need to register with Qymatix, and then go to API.
Technical knowledge might be needed. If you require assistance with connecting using our API, do not hesitate to contact us.
If you have sales data in another format, different to the one provided by the templates, and still would like to try Qymatix, contact us.
This online manual reflects the functionality of Qymatix Predictive Sales SaaS version 0.5.0. Variations may occur with more advanced versions of the tool.

*Wanderers: A Novel by Chuck Wendig
I'm including this adult novel because a.) I think high schoolers will love it; and b.) It's been compared to The Stand, which is one of my all-time favorite novels.

And she is heading with inexorable determination to a destination that only she knows. But Shana and are sister are not alone. Soon they are joined by a flock of sleepwalkers from across America, on the same mysterious journey. And like Shana, there are other "shepherds" who follow the flock to protect their friends and family on the long dark road ahead.

ORLEANS – Nauset Beach reopened to off-road vehicles on Sunday through a groundbreaking, first-of-its-kind habitat conservation plan on the East Coast.
The plan creates a way for vehicles to get escorted past piping plover nests.
"It's been a long time coming," Orleans Selectmen John Hodgson said. "It was two years in the making to get this HCP put together and it's a great first step to be able to have the beaches open early."
Nauset Beach has seen closures for off-road vehicles for a number of years during the key summer weeks after the shorebirds hatch and the beach would remain off limits until the plovers would fledge.
"We've had closures that have lasted the entire summer the last couple of years," Hodgson said. "So to be back open in July is fabulous."
The new plan includes pedestrian escorts looking for plovers as the vehicle drives by the protected zone. Access is limited to just four hours each day.
Although Hodgson said it is great to have the beach open to ORV usage, running pedestrian escorts was not the ideal situation.
"We came very close to not having to do so because of a lot of the protective measures that we put in place this year to protect the birds," he said. "It's a little awkward to run the escort… I hope at some point we can actually alleviate that, but for now it is people back out on the beach and that's what's important."
Hodgson said full access to the beach will be granted after the last few chicks fledge but he said he had no idea on a possible timetable.
Hodgson said the habitat conservation plan needs to be modified moving forward.
"It was far too difficult to put it in place to begin with," he said. "At this point, we are reaching out to state and federal officials to get some relief."
Hodgson said he spoke with Lieutenant Governor Karyn Polito last week about getting some help from the state.
"We need help. We need muscle from the state to push back the federal government whether it's the seals, the plovers or the next round of birds," he said. "Because the feds just keep studying and studying and studying and naming more endangered species and that equals closed beaches."
"This is our community," Hodgson said. "We are a beach, tourist community and when we start losing access to the beaches and the waterways, it's a problem."

Syria army tries to encircle Daesh in Deir Ezzor — military source
By AFP - Sep 13,2017 - Last updated at Sep 13,2017

DEIR EZZOR, Syria — After breaking a Daesh extremist group blockade, Syria's army is seeking to encircle the remaining extremist-held parts of Deir Ezzor city, a military source said Wednesday.
The city is the capital of oil-rich eastern Deir Ezzor province, regarded as a strategic prize by both Russian-backed Syrian troops and US-backed fighters.
In Damascus Wednesday, President Bashar Assad said the country was "advancing steadily towards victory thanks to the sacrifices of its army, the determination of its people and the support of its allies," state news agency SANA said.
Last week, Syria's army and allied fighters broke a years-long Daesh siege of Deir Ezzor, entering two regime-held sections of the city that had been cut off from each other.
Since then, the army has brought reinforcements to the city and is seeking to oust Daesh from eastern neighbourhoods that run along the Euphrates River, which slices diagonally through the province.
"The army is seeking to encircle Daesh from three sides by controlling the parts of the western bank of the Euphrates River," the source told AFP
Troops would target riverside territory on the city's northwestern edges as well as strategic areas on its southern outskirts, including the key military airport and the village of Al Jafra, on the banks of the Euphrates.
The operation seeks to "oust Daesh from the city and the province completely," the military source said.
Rami Abdel Rahman, head of the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights monitor, also reported that "fierce fighting has been ongoing since yesterday as the army seeks to expel the extremists and reach the western bank of the Euphrates".
If the army captures Al Jafra, "Deir Ezzor will be encircled from three sides, so Daesh will have no way out except the Euphrates which is within firing range of regime artillery and Russian warplanes," he added.
As the Syrian army backed by Russian air support battles Daesh in Deir Ezzor, a separate offensive by the US-backed Syrian Democratic Forces is under way on the eastern side of the province.
The operation by the alliance of Kurdish and Arab fighters began over the weekend, but the SDF has said it was not coordinating the fight with the regime.
Air strikes by Russian and US-led coalition warplanes in support of the separate offensives have killed dozens of civilians in recent days.
On Wednesday, the observatory said suspected US-led coalition strikes on several parts of eastern Deir Ezzor province overnight and throughout the day killed 12 people.
On Tuesday, the monitor reported 35 people killed in Russian and US-led strikes on either side of the Euphrates.
More than 330,000 people have been killed in Syria since the conflict began in March 2011 with anti-government protests.

Actually, four men are buried in the Fairview Cemetery who died as a result of the first World War. Three were killed in battle, and one, James Blaine Miller, died as a result of the Germans torpedoing the passenger liner Lusitania in 1915. His story is told in the book "Passage to Liverpool."
The third man to die in battle was Lawrence H. Roland. He had one sister who died at four months of age in 1901. Now an only child, when his father died six years later his mother moved the two of them into Erie. Lawrence's grandparents, Joseph and Catherine Stove, still lived in Fairview Township along Route 5 on a farm.
The number to gather 'round him for a send-off to military training was small. How his mother and grandparents must have worried… the only surviving child going off to battle. They may have been comforted by the fact that he would be assigned to the same company as another Fairview man, Edward Goetz. They would both be serving with Company C of the 320th Infantry, 80th Division. Both men were in their mid 20s.
By the late summer and early fall of 1918 there had been fierce fighting all through sections of France for weeks. Russell Silverthorn died in battle in August. Edward Goetz died in September. Now, in October, even as there was talk of an unconditional surrender, battles continued in the Argonne Forest, at the St. Quentin Canal and near the city of Cambrai. On October 11 Lawrence sat down to rest a moment and was shot by a sniper.
One month later, on November 11, the Armistice was signed to end World War I.
We celebrate the end of that war and the 100th anniversary of the signing of the Armistice tomorrow – November 11, 2018. Let us ring bells at 11 a.m. for the brief peace that followed. Let us ring them to remember Fairview's own men who died in that war and to honor all those who served.
Many returned home and contributed their skills to the betterment of their home town. Many helped organize the fire department. Many helped organize the American Legion Post #742. Many served on the school board, on the Borough Council, and more.
Let us ring the bells for all veterans of all wars.

The other group of patients in whom the effects of chemotherapy on testicular function have been widely investigated is those with testicular cancer (29-32). To attempt to delineate which abnormalities are a result of cytotoxic chemotherapy, several of these studies also examined pretreatment testicular function or compared chemotherapy-treated patients with those who underwent orchidectomy alone. Lampe et al. (31) analyzed data concerning 170 patients with testicular germ cell cancers, who underwent treatment with either cisplatin-based or carboplatin-based chemotherapy. Of the 170 patients, 40 (24%) were azoospermic before treatment, with a further 41 (24%) oligospermia At a median of 30 mo after the completion of chemotherapy, only 64% of those who were normospermic before therapy remained normospermic, whereas 54 (32%) of the total cohort were azoospermic and 43 (25%) were oligospermia The probability of recovery to a normal sperm count was higher for those men with a normal pretreatment sperm count, those who received carboplatin-based rather than cisplatin-based therapy, and in those treated with fewer than five chemotherapy cycles. Recovery continued for more than 2 yr, with the calculated chance of oligospermia or normospermia at 2 yr being 48% and 80% at 5 yr. Several authors have compared testicular function in patients after chemotherapy with that of patients treated with orchidectomy alone (29,30,32). All have demonstrated greater testicular dysfunction in the cytotoxic-treated groups, with evidence of germinal epithelial damage indicated by raised FSH levels and/or reduced sperm counts. In addition, mild Leydig cell dysfunction, as indicated by a raised LH levels in the presence of a normal testosterone level, was found in 59 to 75% of men after chemotherapy, compared with 6 to 45% in those after orchidectomy alone.

Mobile-Flex® Debuts Transformative Technology for BYOD Arena
Feb 05, 2014, 10:05 ET
CELEBRATION, Fla., Feb. 5, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- A truly transformative technology that makes bring-your-own-device (BYOD) environments far more secure, much more manageable, and significantly faster-acting has come to market.
The new Mobile-Flex® patent-pending protocol provides "a radically different yet simplified means of empowering employees to boost productivity with a total computing solution that is familiar, user-friendly and assures that employer data, programs and systems are fully secure, without allowing access to a remote desktop," said Ken Ray, Mobile-Flex® President.
"The Mobile-Flex® simplified solution is now available for iOS, Blackberry, Android and Kindle devices, with versions for Windows Desktop, Windows Mobile and Macintosh Desktop coming soon," Ray said.
"Mobile-Flex® provides quick access to the same programs, files, and data employees can normally access from their home-office systems. It eliminates the employer's risk of unmanaged devices, unsecured connections, loss or theft of a device, hacked or compromised systems, data breaches, or employee departures," Ray said. "We're extremely proud that Mobile-Flex® provides so much more added security, efficiency, simplicity, ease of use, and productivity power. It's the best of both worlds for employees and employers alike in today's fast-paced BYOD environment."
Built in a tower-like formation, the proprietary technology's layers provide:
- Technology that works for any enterprise or organization, without the use of RDP or HTML5 between the server and the device. Terminal services are not used and there is no access to a remote desktop of any kind;
- A Windows environment using HTML5 on the server-side only, with full-blown, 100% Active Directory user ID-password authenticated sessions;
- Storage of information without ever placing residual traces of data, cookies, temp, or log files on any user device;
- A communications protocol that compresses graphics from the Windows presentation manager and sends them to the mobile device through a single dedicated port (making everything blind to robots, sniffers, or hacking algorithms and their risks);
- A token-driven technology assembled as an end-to-end application for controlled and secured communication;
- Programs, applications, and data are safely stored in the Mobile-Flex® Host Controller ready for a mobile-device user's next Mobile-Flex® connection session;
- Administrator-assigned usage with control of access rights by way of dynamic user tokens that can be revalued at any time.
"Mobile-Flex® technology eliminates the need for organizations to ever again write custom applications for any mobile devices—saving the additional time, expense, and trouble of retraining employees in those applications – as well as any need to create and manage BYOD-use policies," Ray said.
For the next 30 days, Mobile-Flex® is extending a special offer to business, government, and institutional users – an unrestricted, 45-day introductory trial of the revolutionary new technology, extending to any number of employees and their mobile devices in an organization.
To activate your trial offer, contact Mobile-Flex® at: [email protected], call 1-800-482-5240, tweet us at @Mobile_Flex, or find us on LinkedIn and Facebook. Additional information is available at www.Mobile-Flex.com.
Mobile-Flex® is dedicated to mobile solutions providing custom design, hosting and full-service consulting services including best practice management for the mobile applications industry. Simplifying Mobile Technology™ was what inspired the creation of the Mobile-Flex® solution, which provides the ability to run legacy applications without the need to rewrite the applications for each individual device.

App Gives Staff Telework Option On Hot Days
A Japanese software company has developed an application to encourage employees to work at home on extremely hot days.
The Tokyo-based firm, Infoteria Corporation, began a campaign with the new smartphone app on Thursday to help its staff work more comfortably and to improve efficiency. Unusually high temperatures continue across most parts of Japan.
The app notifies workers in the morning if the daytime high is expected to be 35 degrees Celsius or hotter. They are given the option of switching to teleworking for the day.
The company says about 30 percent of the 70 staff members at its Tokyo headquarters decided to stay at home on Friday because of the scorching weather.
Employees who came to the office used videoconferencing to talk with colleagues working at home.
An Infoteria official says they hope the teleworking campaign will serve as a model for cultivating an employee-friendly work-style when the weather is extremely hot.

Owen – I want to know if you can tell me any details on the figurine from Tall Safut in the Salt Museum. Our project stores our objects in Salt and we found a figurine with a disk almost identical to Safut's. Our 6th season just ended at the end of Jan. 2011. Thanks, Carroll Kobs

Owen – I have been a Supervisor for 6 Seasons at Tall el-Hammam. This past season, a figurine with a disk (frame-drum) was found within an Iron Age context on the Lower Tall. We store our objects at the Salt Museum and there is a plaque figurine from Safut that is on display there. The museum is very small. If you send me your e-mail, I can send a photo of ours so you can see. thanks, Carroll

The future of the bee population has been a hot topic for these past few years. From encouraging the planting of bee friendly flowers to education about how bees aren't dangerous (despite most people's common beliefs), many groups are making it their mission to help save the bees.
Health Canada recently conducted a study on the use of neonicotinoid insecticides. Despite the findings showing that the bees were only affected by the substance in certain situations, they are sticking with their proposal to phase out most outdoor and agricultural pesticides. This comes after over 200 scientists penned recommendations to international governments requesting agreements be made in with they cease the use of neonicotinoids. They also asked that they consider banning the development of future harmful pesticides.
Five years ago Europe went ahead and banned the use of neonicotinoids on any crops and they confirmed that based on their research these substances can kill both wild bees and honey bees. Currently they are only allowed in greenhouses.
For more information about how you can help the bees, here are 10 ways to get you started.
What are Neonicotinoids?
Neonicotinoids (sometimes shortened to neonics /ˈniːoʊnɪks/) are a class of neuro-active insecticides chemically similar to nicotine. In the 1980s Shell and in the 1990s Bayer started work on their development.[1] The neonicotinoid family includes acetamiprid, clothianidin, imidacloprid, nitenpyram, nithiazine, thiacloprid and thiamethoxam. Imidacloprid is the most widely used insecticide in the world.[2] Compared to organophosphate and carbamate insecticides, neonicotinoids cause less toxicity in birds and mammals than insects. Some breakdown products are also toxic to insects.[3]
Neonicotinoid use has been linked in a range of studies to adverse ecological effects, including honey-bee colony collapse disorder (CCD) and loss of birds due to a reduction in insect populations; however, the findings have been conflicting, and thus controversial.[4] In 2013, the European Union and a few non EU countries restricted the use of certain neonicotinoids;[5][6][7] in 2018, the EU banned the three main neonicotinoids (clothianidin, imidacloprid and thiamethoxam) for all outdoor uses.[8][9] Several states in the United States have also restricted usage of neonicotinoids out of concern for pollinators and bees.[10]
