The Czech Republic only scraped through the UEFA European Under-17 Championship qualifying round in autumn, going through as one of the two best third-placed teams across the 13 groups having lost 6-1 to Turkey.
Once in the elite round, though, they beat Slovakia and Italy before a draw with Scotland took them into the finals, which begin on 3 May, for the second year running. Experienced coach Josef Csaplár spoke to UEFA.com about the changes made between the two rounds and why results are not everything at this level.
UEFA.com: Your side were not so convinving in the qualifying round, particularly after the 6-1 defeat by Turkey. What did you change in the elite round, where your side won a strong group ahead of Scotland, Italy and Slovakia?
Josef Csaplár: The style of play was the same, the attractive attacking approach with pressing all over the pitch. The players had more time to adjust to it and last but not least we took eight new players to Italy. The fears that Czech football lacks gifted players were unjustified.
UEFA.com: How did the players cope with the difficult position there as they had to come from behind after conceding early goals against Italy and Scotland?
Csaplár: Every game was more difficult than the previous one, but the players made it. They achieved it with attacking and enterprising play. We were the only side at the tournament who played with two forwards, and we scored more goals than our opponents. We deserved to progress and I was glad that the famous Italian coach Arrigo Sacchi, who is my coaching guru, had the same opinion, when he congratulated us.
UEFA.com: Do you realise that you can be the first Czech coach to lead a side to the FIFA U-17 World Cup as six out of eight participants will go to Mexico later this year?
Csaplár: That is a great motivation for players of course. But for me it is more important to develop them for senior football. To learn something is more important than coming first or second at this level. The good results and Mexico could be the bonus.
UEFA.com: How satisfied are you with the draw against Germany, Romania and the Netherlands?
Csaplár: At this level is hard to say who are the favourites, especially as we have only limited information about our opponents. We have played against the very strong Turkish side, but they are not here at all as well as Spain. It means that anything could happen, nobody has anything guaranteed.

CoolStreaming is a P2PTV (peer-to-peer television) technology that enables users to share television content with each other over the Internet. The technology behind CoolStreaming is similar to that of BitTorrent. The viewers upload content at the same time the programs are downloaded and viewed. CoolStreaming creates a local stream on localhost and that stream is then read by Windows Media Player, RealPlayer or other media players. The original coolstreaming code is developed with Python 2.3 on Windows.
Coolstreaming is a data-centric design of peer-to-peer streaming overlay. Notable features of the protocol include its intelligent scheduling algorithm that copes well with the bandwidth differences of uploading clients and thus minimises skipping during playback, and its swarm-style architecture that uses a directed graph based on gossip algorithims to broadcast content availability.
Coolstreaming is the first P2PTV system that attracts a remarkable amount of clients (over 1 million, while most of the previous systems attracted less than 1 thousand clients).
As of June 10, 2005 the Coolstreaming service had stopped due to copyright issues. However, there are several alternative services.
CoolStreaming is the base technology for Roxbeam Corp., which launched live IPTV programs jointly with Yahoo Japan in October 2006.[citation needed]

By Finger Lakes Correspondent Jason Feulner
Riesling is the king of the Finger Lakes, and most would agree that the Finger Lakes region consistently produces some of the best riesling in the United States. Similarly, riesling's Alsatian cousin gewürztraminer fares well in this region although its hard-to-pronounce name is sometimes a tricky sell with the casual consumer.
So, how about rkatsiteli? Rkatiswhat? Rkatsiteli (pronounced R-kats-i-teli) is in fact one of the most planted varietals in the world and is grown throughout Eastern Europe.
In Western Europe and the United States, however, Rkatsiteli is very rare. The grape is similar in style to Riesling and Gewurztraminer–crisp and acidic with a harmony of floral, citrus and spicy notes.
Lenn recently gave rave reviews to Dr. Konstantin Frank's 2006 Rkatsiteli. Surprisingly, Dr. Frank's is the only Finger Lakes producer that grows rkatsiteli. I recently corresponded with Fred Frank, president and owner of Dr. Konstantin Frank's Vinifera Wine Cellars, about the future of rkatsiteli in the Finger Lakes.
He told me that Dr. Frank's has been producing rkatsiteli in the Finger Lakes since the 1950s. Dr. Frank himself saw the grape one that was well-suited for a colder climate after encountering the grape during his studies in Eastern Europe. But, one of the reasons that rkatsiteli may not have taken off as an Eastern U.S. wine is that it is susceptible to fungus and is not as winter hardy as Riesling. In cooler vintages, it can be extremely difficult to tone down the acidity.
Currently, Dr. Frank's has 10 acres of rkatsiteli planted and produces about 3000 cases each year. Fred Frank considers 2006 a great growing season for rkatsiteli, and this wine recently won a Gold Medal at the New World International Wine Competition and was also awarded Best in Class.
Despite the fact that other Finger Lakes growers have not embraced rkatsiteli as of yet, there are other wineries in the Eastern U.S. that are growing it.
Horton Vineyards in Virginia, Tomasello Winery in New Jersey, and Wesport Rivers Vineyards & Winery in Massachusetts are all producing rkatsiteli. As the demand for Eastern U.S. wine grows, and consumers become less intimated by difficult names, perhaps other wineries will give this promising varietal a try.

13th International Conference on Coordination Models and Languages.
Coordination 2011 seeks high-quality papers on programming languages and coordination models, middleware, services, and algorithms that separate behavior from interaction, therefore increasing modularity, simplifying reasoning, and ultimately enhancing software development. The conference focuses on the design and implementation of models that allow compositional construction of large-scale concurrent and distributed systems, including both practical and foundational models, run-time systems, and related verification and analysis techniques.
Past incarnations of Coordination have emphasized foundations. However, given the increasing importance of concurrency in almost every software domain, the organizers of Coordination 2011 are keen to provide a strong forum for high-quality papers that address practical aspects of concurrent programming models; for example, application of concurrency to novel domains, comparisons of alternative programming models on important problems, or domain-specific languages.
Each paper will undergo a thorough process of review and the conference proceedings will be published by Springer-Verlag in the LNCS series.

2010 Ford Flex EcoBoost – Click above for high-res image gallery
The National Automotive History Collection (NAHC) has named the 2010 Ford Flex its most collectible vehicle of 2009, beating out seven other vehicles shortlisted for the award. The Flex is the 11th vehicle to receive the award, given by members overseeing the "world-famous" automotive collection at the Detroit Public Library. Members say the Flex won because it was the most likely vehicle to turn heads at the 2034 Woodward Dream Cruise.
The Flex does have some interesting styling cues and the EcoBoost model is sold in relatively low volumes which could make it the Woody of its generation, but even still, we're not entirely sold on its collectibility. We're actually quite fond of the Flex but we just don't see anyone collecting Ford's boxy crossover any time soon (or in the future, either). For starters, this author hopes crossovers don't become collectibles. Something about a people hauler being put on display for all to see and admire seems wrong – just don't tell Chevrolet Nomad collectors.
Then there is the fact that most of the early models that were named "Most Collectible" are now considered to be very average transportation at best and flat out junk at worst. For example, the Oldsmobile Aurora and the Buick Riviera were co-winners in 1995 followed by the Chrysler Sebring Convertible in 1996. Yuck. The award then went on hiatus until 2002 when the retro-riffic but short-lived Ford Thunderbird was predictably chosen. More recent winners have been a bit more respectable though, with the Dodge Challenger and Viper making the list along with the 2005 Ford Mustang. The Chrysler 300 and Pontiac Solstice have also made it to the podium. We get that this is a reward given out in Detroit with virtually no chance of a foreign nameplate ever winning, but we can think of plenty of domestics that seem more deserving. How about the Chevrolet Corvette ZR1, Cadillac CTS-V or Shelby GT500? Or the 2010 Camaro? Hit the jump for Ford's official press release, and then feel free to weigh in with your thoughts in Comments.

* Ford Flex singled out for the 2009 "Collectible Vehicle of the Future" Award from the Friends of the National Automotive History Collection (NAHC)
* Panel predicts Flex the vehicle most likely to turn heads at the Woodward Dream Cruise of 2034
* Flex adds this award to almost 40 that it has garnered since its launch in 2008
DETROIT, Dec. 11, 2009 – From America's new cars and trucks launched in 2009, the Ford Flex will become the most desired by future car collectors. That is the prediction of the Friends of the National Automotive History Collection (NAHC).
Members of the organization, which supports the world-famous automotive collection at the Detroit Public Library, vote annually to predict the "Collectible Vehicle of the Future" from the year's new American-built cars and trucks. The Ford Flex was selected from eight all-new vehicles launched in 2009.
The award was presented to Ford executives by the Friends of the NAHC at their annual holiday reception on Thursday, Dec. 10 at NAHC quarters in the Skillman Branch Library in downtown Detroit.
The NAHC is the world's largest public archive of automotive lore and a treasure for automotive historians, journalists and collectors. Its collection of books, manuals, photos, company histories and historic documents is open to the public.
"We are delighted that the Ford Flex has been recognized by the NAHC as having a design that will become a collectible of the future," said Kate Pearce, Flex marketing manager at Ford.
"We knew from the start that we had a vehicle with stand-out design that looks like nothing else on the road, but that also meets the needs of our customers looking for passenger space with innovative technology and great fuel economy," she said. "Reaction from our customers has been fantastic and we hope they will enjoy their cars long into the future."
Charles K. Hyde, chairman of the NAHC Board of Trustees, said, "This selection is unique among all the 'Vehicle of the Year' awards, because it is selected by car buffs who know what future collectors will value. We asked our members to predict which of this year's new vehicles will turn heads in the Woodward Cruise of 2034."
Previous winners are:
2008 Dodge Challenger
2007 Dodge Viper SRT10

The Photographer
The pictures of Jan C. Schlegel bear witness of the special encounters of the photographer with unique people on his trips through Africa and Asia. Since 1998 Jan C. Schlegel regularly travels to remote places, which are secluded from the tourism of the western world. On his tours the artist observed the rapid decline of traditions and increasing change of the way of life of the people within their tribes due to globalisation. The inexorable changes woke the urgent wish in the photographer to portrait people, to capture impressions and to preserve traditional life forms in his pictures. Thus Schlegel not only creates artistic photographs, but also documents and preserves unique pieces of art – the people themselves. None of people photographed wear special make-up or were specially dressed before the photographs were taken. Nothing was staged, nothing is fake. They were all captured in their own habitat – at the market, in the village square, or simply on the roadside. The only stylistic device Schlegel uses for each one of his photographs is a simple grey background. With it he concentrates the attention on the people, not on their living conditions. The basic message is the internal and external beauty of the pictured people. Schlegel emphasises their uniqueness, their value and their irreparableness. With his art he fights for the particularity and individuality of the cultures.
During the last years Schlegel visited 61 countries, always in search of the distinctive beauty and variety of the people. The picture's compositions, the highly contrasted play of light and shadow, the inner dynamics and the extraordinary perspectives, open a crack in the door of secret-treasures of this world that are becoming increasingly difficult to find. Schlegel often stays several weeks with the tribes to get to know and understand its way of life. With his assistant Schlegel lives in modest circumstances among the people, which he tries to portray. Step by step the photographer gains their trust, in order to make pictures in the desired nearness and intimacy. With his photographs Jan C. Schlegel gives us a glimpse on foreign cultures and allows us to discover something about the uniqueness of every single person.
Jan C. Schlegel was born in 1965 in the Black Forest of Germany. He is married and has three children. He discovered his passion for photography at the age of 14 with in the scope of a Photo course at school. For his first own camera, the reflex camera Minolta XG9, the 14 year-old saved long. As winner of a AGFA photo competition with focus on portraits, Schlegel took part in a seminar by the photographer Walter Schels in the Staatslehranstalt für Photographie in Munich. Under Walter Schel's influence Jan C. Schlegel began to ascertain his fervor for black-and-white portraits. Toni Schneiders, a distant neighbour of Schlegel, became the second important mentor for the young photographer. After a two and a half year long apprenticeship at Lake Bodensee Schlegel was a professionally trained photographer by the age of 18. Schlegel works for the University of the Nations. He teaches courses in photography and takes students through Africa and Asia, mentoring them as they discover their own way of seeing. Since 2011 he is exclusively represented by Bernheimer and has been shown with great success on art fairs in London and Paris.
The black and white photographs from Jan C. Schlegel are taken with a 4x5 field camera (Ebony SV45 Ti) on traditional film (Kodak Tmax 400). The Negatives are developed in Kodak D76 Developer 1+1 dilution.
To enhance shadow detail and the appearance of sharpness, each Negative is sandwiched with a tradionally made unsharp mask. Highlight masks are used to increase highlight details in most of his prints.
Nothing is digitally edited, and the pictures are enlarged on fiber base photographic paper (Fomabrom Variant 111).
Afterwards each photographic print is partly toned (own mixture) in order to give each picture its special inner dynamics and depth. Often this process takes several hours and turns out differently with each print. This way each print is unique.
To finish the process, each picture is Selen toned which guarantees its maximum life and enhaces the depth in the shadows.
The pictures are mounted on 1 mm aluminium boards.

How Educators Can Seize Control Of The Ohio Teacher Evaluation System
When the Ohio General Assembly finally adopted changes to the Ohio Teacher Evaluation System (OTES) through House Bill 362 last week, there was one positive remnant left from the original Senate Bill 229 introduced in late 2013 that does offer school districts some relief from the time-intensive process. With the majority of teachers in in the state being expected to receive a rating of skilled or accomplished, and with those ratings being aligned with teachers who are effectively doing their jobs by demonstrating desired classroom practices and expected student growth (according to the legislators and Ohio Department of Education), schools will not be required by law to fully evaluate these teachers each and every year.
The new law reads as follows [emphasis added]:
Ohio Revised Code Section 3319.111
(2)(a) The board may evaluate each teacher who received a rating of accomplished on the teacher's most recent evaluation conducted under this section once every three school years, so long as the teacher's student academic growth measure, for the most recent school year for which data is available, is average or higher, as determined by the department of education.
(b) The board may evaluate each teacher who received a rating of skilled on the teacher's most recent evaluation conducted under this section once every two years, so long as the teacher's student academic growth measure, for the most recent school year for which data is available, is average or higher, as determined by the department of education.
(3) In any year that a teacher is not formally evaluated pursuant to division (C) of this section as a result of receiving a rating of accomplished or skilled on the teacher's most recent evaluation, an individual qualified to evaluate a teacher under division (D) of this section shall conduct at least one observation of the teacher and hold at least one conference with the teacher.
If the school chooses to opt for this provision, instead of conducting multiple observations, walkthroughs, and conferences, the evaluator must still conduct at least one observation and hold at least one conference with the teacher. The premise here is that those teachers should still be held accountable for maintaining their good teaching practices and monitoring them with an evaluator is the only way to do so.
I'll put a positive spin on this and say that this type of interaction between a principal (evaluator) and teacher is the type of sound professional practice that good principals already engage in when they are given the freedom to act as the school's instructional leader. When you have a high-quality principal in a school who works collaboratively with teachers by engaging in professional dialogue about the best practices that are contained within the OTES rubric, teachers can receive constructive feedback and principals can identify areas in which they need to provide improved support for the teachers under their care.
Additionally, by removing the mandate to evaluate these high-quality educators each and every year, principals now have some added freedom to work more intensively with teachers who may be struggling in one or more areas. The key to this entire process is how the individuals involved react to this opportunity. Principals must utilize the information gathered from the observations and conferences to help connect teachers with resources, especially the human capital within their buildings, in order to promote and encourage professional growth and improvement. Again, this is what high-quality principals have been doing for years and OTES can be a model to guide schools and principals to function in this improvement model.
From a pessimistic, and in many cases a realistic, viewpoint, the OTES system is being used as a way to label teachers with the goal of ousting those who may struggle in their current assignment. Not only is this goal lazy on its face, but very concept of firing these teachers outright contradicts the entire foundations of our educational system.
Think about it — how do we react when students are struggling with mastering skills or concepts? We often go above and beyond to provide additional support for those children, frequently capitalizing on the strengths of other students to provide peer support, but most often identifying additional services and interventions to guide the students toward mastery. Nothing is more evident of this than Ohio's Third Grade Reading Guarantee law. While we have lambasted the law's mandatory retention component as exacerbating the long-term success of these students, the other pieces of the law distinctly try to focus on catching struggling students early on in and providing increased interventions and support. We don't simply identify a student who is "below grade level" in reading in first grade, label them as unsuccessful, then kick them out, do we? Of course not, we seek to help them improve!
In this same manner, principals and teachers need to be allowed to use the OTES, still in its infancy, to help one another improve their professional practices. Let's be clear — OTES is not simply a means of directly improving teachers' practices, it is also a tool that principals need to embrace as a way to improve their role as instructional leaders. Too many people simply assume that gaining the title of principal automatically makes that individual master of all in their domain. However, those in the field of education know that nothing could be further from the truth.
The vast majority of criticisms of schools these days are targeted at teachers and teaching practices, and the legislative talking points about OTES are centered on identifying "bad" teachers and getting them out of our schools. But a "funny" thing has happened along the way – OTES has exposed the fact that principals aren't infallible either, and many don't know how to identify good teaching practices or how to provide solid instructional support that promotes professional growth by their teachers.
So again, capitalizing on this rare moment of optimism that I'm having, and looking for a way for educators to regain control of our profession, I must encourage principals and teachers to "modernize" their professional practices and forget the traditional view of schools where the principal is "the boss" and teachers are silent followers of the boss's rules. Instead, for the sake of our collective profession, principals and teachers must be willing to let down their guard and take a deeper look at the research-based OTES rubric that is at the heart of the observation/conference process. Principals need to be willing to admit that they don't know everything, let go of personal opinions about what always worked for them "when I was a teacher", and truly follow the evidence-based rubric to drive their evaluation process. In the same way, teachers need to understand that principals aren't omnipotent. Teachers must also be willing to advocate for themselves and their classroom practices, speak to principals about what support is needed, and be willing to accept help from not only the principal, but their peer teachers.
In the end, education is a profession that has strong communication and strong relationships at its foundation. From a union standpoint, we've often been focused on an "us vs. them" mentality when describing the relationship between teachers and administrators. Now, with the implementation of OTES, both principals and teachers have been unwillingly thrown into this process together and both sides need to understand and accept that we are not perfect. Maybe, just maybe, by working together, principals and teachers can work to change the stereotypical adversarial relationship between them and focus on using this law that has been imposed upon us for our collective benefit.
Legislators wanted to use this law to fire educators. What if we hijacked it and actually used it to our benefit? We can only do so if principals and teachers are willing to engage in professional dialogue and begin to see themselves as co-educators and not as bosses and employees.
Can we do it? Can we — districts, schools, principals, and teachers — take over OTES and take back control of our profession?
Kathy Fleischmann Stemmer
Sounds good but my district OTES team decided not to pursue the alternative framework blah blah blah
I'm solidly with you on 90% of what you write, but I've been nit-picky with your last two. I think you're far to accepting of the OTES rubric. I realize that part of it is probably because of your strong opposition to the student growth portion of the evaluations (which I somewhat to mostly agree with you about), forcing you to support what you see as the lesser of two evils. In my opinion, using that rubric as the basis for evaluations is problematic for a variety of reasons. First, the same rubric is used to evaluate a kindergarten teacher, a middle school music teacher, and a high school Advanced Placement history teacher. That doesn't pass the sniff test. Second, the rubric overemphasizes differentiation and learning styles. While some research supports these ideas, much recent scholarship does not. Having so much of the rubric based on practices that aren't fully supported by research is troublesome to say the least.
You make some fair points and that's better than the way I normally piss people off. 🙂
There are some fair criticisms of trying to apply the same rubric to all grades and all subjects, but I think that emboldens the importance of clear and frequent communication between the evaluator and the teacher. The principal/evaluator should be asking sincere questions of the teacher about their class, content, etc., and the teacher should be encouraged and allowed to provide thoughtful responses. Too often principals make grand assumptions and teachers are immediately put on the defensive. It's this type of traditional principal-teacher relationship that needs to change, regardless of what type of evaluation system is put in place if it is truly intended to promote an improvement in professional practice. Principals and teachers both have to be willing to communicate openly and honestly without threats or fear of reprisal one way or the other.
From a teacher's perspective, this is certainly easier to do with a principal or supervisor who establishes an open, supportive working climate. Seems like those principals are always the ones teachers gravitate to already…..
Additionally, please ALWAYS feel free to offer your thoughtful comments and criticisms here. I feel like we need a "safe" place to hash out our collective ideas and learn from each other and this is a place where that can occur. I'm constantly learning from teachers' personal experiences throughout Ohio and elsewhere and definitely need to be challenged. My last two posts have definitely been more "philosophical" in nature and I guess I'm trying to think more about ways we can take the existing systems and turn them around for our benefit.
I did have two other thoughts that I left out of the full post. First, it directly benefits principals to help their teaching staff improve as their evaluations under OPES are impacted by the performance of their teachers.
Secondly, I had a much more subversive thought I that would essentially undermine the OTES process. If principals rated every teacher as skilled or accomplished (remembering that the final rating is based on their overall impression of the full year of observations, conferences, etc.), then no teacher would ever be rated below "developing", and an even greater percentage would end up with one of the two higher ratings. This would be disingenuous, of course, but would certainly disrupt the legislature's plans…. Just sayin'…
Greg's second idea would be no more disingenuous than the laws being passed by the Ohio Legislature under the guise of "school reform." It's about time that educators undermine the OTES farce.
You are using your typical sound reasoning in approaching this situation, but, there is a facet of the evaluation process that, if accurate, throws a monkey wrench into your proposal. A friend of mine is an elementary principal that explained the OTES process to me and one thing that stuck out was a statement by ODE that if a building had more than 10% of the staff identified as accomplished the evaluator (principal) could be relieved of their evaluator duties. Perhaps I am mistaken on the target percentage, but, it appears as though ODE has taken the possibility of large-scale high ratings for teachers into account. How they came about arriving at the percentage beyond some capricious means is anyone's guess, but, I made a mental note at the time of that caveat. How reliable my mental notes are can certainly be called into question, however.
I believe the 10% comes from the corporate world. A similar evaluation system was used at Microsoft. Less than 10% of those evaluated can fall into the highest and lowest categories. This evaluation system is no longer used at Microsoft as it did not promote a positive work environment or better quality work.
The 10% figure is not published anywhere.
I will try to talk with my buddy and see if I can firm up that 10% claim. You are always well prepared and I have no desire to spread misinformation.

The first thing you notice when you drive into Hebron is the lack of cars. Since 1997 this second-largest Palestinian city in the West Bank, the only one with an Israeli settlement in its midst, has been formally divided. Within the Israeli section, which takes up much of the historic downtown, Palestinians are not allowed to drive, so they walk or use donkey carts. When people are ill or injured, they are carried to the hospital. It is not surprising, therefore, that many of the 30,000 Palestinians who once lived here have moved out. According to a 2007 report from Israeli human rights organizations, more than 1,000 Palestinian housing units in the area have been left vacant, and more than 75 percent of the businesses in the central district have closed. A handful of shops remain open; a cluster or two of children play in the street. But that's it. The streets are buried under the heaviness of an ominous quiet. Periodically, buses rumble past bringing settlers to and from the adjoining settlement, Kiryat Arba, and Israel proper. In the absence of routine urban noise, their engines sound like gunshots.
I went to Israel and the West Bank with a group of American journalists on a trip sponsored by the New America Foundation. We were led through the streets of Hebron by Mikhael Manekin, a former Israel Defense Forces soldier who patrolled the city during the second intifada. He now runs an organization called Breaking the Silence, which collects testimony about IDF human rights abuses from Israeli soldiers. I had heard of Hebron, of course, but it was lodged vaguely in my mind as one of those foreign places where awful things happen. To see it in person is to understand viscerally that the status quo in the West Bank cannot hold. To see it is to understand just what occupation requires.
Because of the Cave of the Patriarchs—where Abraham is said to have buried his wife and was later laid to rest—Hebron is a very holy site for Jews and Muslims. Hebron's long history has been one of occupation and coexistence, punctuated by periods of slaughter. Romans, Crusaders and Ottomans have all ruled the city, sometimes denying access to the holy sites to disfavored groups. In 1929 Arab rioters killed sixty-seven of the small number of Jewish residents of the city (several hundred were saved by their Arab neighbors, who hid them in their homes), and the last Jewish resident left the city in 1948. In 1968, just a year after Israel occupied Hebron, Rabbi Moshe Levinger, a spiritual founder of the settler movement, traveled with a few students to the city for Passover. Once there, they refused to leave, extracting a concession from the Labor government at the time to settle them in the adjacent army base of Kiryat Arba, which today is a settlement of 7,200.
In 1979 ten women and forty children from Kiryat Arba sneaked into the abandoned Jewish hospital in downtown Hebron under cover of night and also refused to leave. Over the next fifteen years, they were joined by hundreds of other settlers—men, women and children—drawn from the most zealous, who came to inhabit the surrounding buildings.
Over the past three decades, violence has been a mainstay. In 1980 Palestinians killed six yeshiva students in the city center. In 1988 Levinger shot and killed a Palestinian store owner, pleaded guilty to negligent homicide and served thirteen weeks in prison. In 1994 Baruch Goldstein, from Kiryat Arba, entered the mosque at the Cave of the Patriarchs and murdered twenty-nine Muslim worshipers before he was overcome and killed. The IDF imposed near total curfews on area Palestinians.

Budget Beauty Tuesday — Skimp or Spend?
Well, I wish I had some great find to rave about this week, but I don't. No great finds last week. I don't really think I did that much shopping for beauty stuff now that I think about it. But, since it is Budget Beauty Tuesday, let's consider skin care beauty products that you can skimp on and those that are worth the splurge.
1. Cleanser — Skimp!
Cleanser is on and off your face in a few seconds. Even though we should cleanse our skin for at least a minute, most of us don't. That's why it's okay to skimp on cleanser. But, even with skimping on the price, you can still be sure you get the right bang for your buck. Look for ingredients that are appropriate for your skin type or condition. If you have acne, over-the-counter (OTC) look for ingredients like salicylic acid, tea tree oil, alpha hydroxy acids, benzoyl peroxide. And you can find these cleansers easily on any drugstore aisle. Try:
Neutrogena Oil-Free Acne Wash which has 2% salicylic acid and glycolic acid. (salicylic acid is an anti-bacterial and glycolic acid exfoliates the skin, allowing the salicylic acid to work deeper in the pore) A buy at $6.99
If you are concerned with anti-aging, you can even find budget cleansers that include ingredients that help you fight the clock. Check out Pond's Dramatic Results Age-Defying Cleansing Towelettes. I love cleansing towelettes, and these deposit Vitamin A, retinol and Collagen. At least that is the claim. I have to test that one out…But the price is right. $6.99 for 30.
2. SPF — Skimp!
You can find quality sunscreens ad drugstores with an SPF of up to 50. Check out brands like Neutrogena, Aveeno, Almay and Olay.
So a few words of advice about SPF:
- If you are woman of color, you need sun protection. At least an SPF 15 on a daily basis. My friends ask how my skin tone stays so even — SPF sister!
- And let's do some math — If you use an SPF of 20 and layer it with a foundation that has an SPF of 15, what is your total SPF? If you said 35, you are WRONG! You only get the highest SPF you applied.
- For you porcelain skinned hotties out there — you need a daiily lathering of at least an SPF 30, and then layer your moitsurizer and/or foundation that may or may not include an SPF.
My moisturizer that I have been using for quite some time is Garnier Nutritioniste Skin Renew SPF 28. It's around $12 in the drugstore, but as I recently found a stash at my local Grocery Outlet for under $5. And yes, I stocked up big time!
3. Now SPEND!
All that change you have squirreled away on a daily treatment for your skin, or a trip to your favorite spa for a facial! For me, I like to buy potent serums that turn back the hands of time. So for day, a vitamin C serum — keep skin even and helps inhibit sun damage. And for night, a vitamin A or retinol. I happen to love still be in love with the granddaddy of Vitamin C's — Cellex C High Potency Serum. Sephora must be phasing it out, because it is at 40% off right now. Runners up include Dr. Brandt Lineless C serum (love it) and Ole Henricksen Truth Serum — a natural alternative.
So, what would you splurge would you love for your beauty dollars? Share!

Trigger warning: Trauma, PTSD, suicide
In this post I will write about something that I see as the most extreme consequence of what I call secondary system related stress. Something that is not "just" about worsen an existing condition, but when the system-related stress, adding a person such damage that it could be counted as an additional condition. A new diagnosis. And a risk of a premature death.
When I wrote an earlier post about how my own emotional reactions have changed over time due to the cumulated stress, I remembered that I somewhere read about ME/CFS and PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder) triggered by healthcare.
I found an interesting article describing how Dr. Nancy Klimas found her way into further research about ME/CFS. In the 1990s, she studied how people with chronic diseases were affected by a natural disaster. One of the patient groups were people with ME/CFS. The study showed that people with chronic disease developed PTSD in a higher level than those without any chronic disease. People with ME/CFS also showed an exacerbation in their chronic condition. But she discovered something else as well: Even those ME/CFS sufferers who were not at all affected by the trauma during the natural disaster had higher rates of PTSD. This was something that differed from the other groups of chronically ill. After further investigation, she found an explanation in the patients' healthcare situation:
"Yet compared with people with other chronic diseases, CFS patients, even those who hadn't lived through the trauma of a hurricane, had notably higher PTSD rates, she found. Digging deeper, she found that CFS patients had actually been distressed by their medical experiences. A common theme in the trauma was an exposure to a health-care situation that was demoralizing and demeaning, she says."
Dr. Nancy Klimas also said in an interview in the Miamy Herald 2009:
"I've had patients who met posttraumatic stress disorder criteria, where their trauma was their interaction with their physician around this illness. They came to a doctor with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome; they left the doctor with PTSD."
So, it is a long known fact that people with ME/CFS are at risk of developing PTSD related to community support systems. I have not found any specific studies on ME/CFS and healthcare triggered PTSD. However, right now there is an important survey study in progress, designed to investigate secondary mental illness in people with ME/CFS linked to external factors, such as how healthcare personnel treat their patients. It is web based and open to everyone with ME/CFS to join.
I want you to have following definition and explanation of trauma and traumatic stress in mind while continuing reading:
"Trauma is an extremely stressful event/situation that can not be circumvented or managed by the individual's available resources."
"When confronted with a kind of stress that is so sudden, unexpected and catastrophic that it can not be handled with ordinary coping mechanism, you will be left with feelings of intense fear and powerlessness. You can do nothing about it and it is impossible to put it aside. This is called traumatic stress."
Please also take this text about complex PTSD triggered by repeated trauma that last for a long time into consideration:
"Many traumatic events (e.g. car accidents, natural disasters, etc.) are of time-limited duration. However, in some cases people experience chronic trauma that continues or repeats for months or years at a time. The current PTSD diagnosis often does not fully capture the severe psychological harm that occurs with prolonged, repeated trauma."
In 2007, the Swedish National Association for ME patients - RME - made a survey among its members about how they experience life with ME/CFS and the relationship to healthcare and community support systems.
The report stresses the fact that this is a disease with seriously debilitating symptoms, that US health authority CDC compare with those of patients with MS, AIDS and cancer in a late stage. In addition to severe debilitating symptoms, one third of the patients in the study said that their mental health deteriorated due to poor treatment from health care professionals. One-fifth say the same regarding the Insurance Agency (Försäkringskassan).
Theoretically speaking, the situation of people with ME/CFS should be improved since 2007, but what the survey reveals are all too familiar to me for it to be ignored.
There is a lot in the results of the investigation that can explain why ME/CFS patients contact with healthcare and the Insurance Agency impair their mental health:
1. Denial of the diagnosis:
"Just over a third (35%) has been told by doctors that the disease does not exist. Of these, 84% already were diagnosed with ME/CFS."
Another survey from 2015 among ME/CFS sufferers in northern Sweden, shows that 4/10 had been ill for at least five years before receiving a diagnosis, 1/10 had been sick for 15 years or more. Only 16% were diagnosed within a year of the onset. The quote above shows that a correct diagnose is not a guarantee for proper treatment of healthcare. If a physician, for example, denies the existence of the disease it has implications for the treatment provided and how patients are treated. The statements that follow can therefore include both patients with and without properly set diagnosis.
2. Demoralizing treatment:
"38% have been met by derogatory comments in contact with healthcare. Some examples are "whining bitches", "you're fantasizing", "you sponge on our tax money ", "I do not want more ME patients", "I have heard there will open up a clinic for hypochondriac", "All people have a little fever every now and then", "Snatch up", "ME is curable if you are running in the woods 10 kilometres three times a week", "Want to be healthy and you will become it". More than half (52%) have been told that the symptoms are psychosomatic. As many as a quarter has been considered a hypochondriac."
I recognize it. The tone. The contempt. The attitude. From the doctor who wanted to send me off to a boot camp to trigger my body to start - to the doctor who said that everything is just about me getting over the threshold. Wrinkled her nose, as if I smell bad. Ignorance. The unwillingness to even talk about ME/CFS, and much less document the conversation. I have received this treatment in relation to both my fatigue and pain - but never so clearly as when I raised ME/CFS as a topic in the conversation.
3. Incorrect treatment or no-treatment at all:
"More than a half (53%) has several times been treated as depressed, though they are not. Antidepressants is also the treatment that made most patients worse or had no effect at all. 62% say that their doctor had no knowledge about the increased sensitivity of medication that a lot of ME/CFS patients experiences. Many patients have been encouraged to increase exercise, which can be directly harmful to those with ME/CFS."
With a diagnosis follows treatment guidelines. Guidelines that are specific in that particular disease. If you get an incorrect diagnose it will automatically lead to malpractice. You will not only be exposed to a treatment that will give you nothing - it also means that the disease never diagnosed is completely untreated and therefore at risk to deteriorate. But there is a much higher risk that the improper treatment leads to deterioration. When doctors deny that ME/CFS exists, recommend treatment based on incorrectly established diagnosis or denying proper treatment due to lack of knowledge - it is not only a serious risk of deterioration of the disease but also a risk of patients developing secondary mental illness.
4. Incorrect assessments:
"A fifth has been declared being able of working full-time by the Insurance Agency, although they are not."
A person with ME/CFS should avoid overload because there is a serious risk of a permanent deterioration of the disease. Being forced to work without the ability to do it is like being forced off a cliff. You are stuck in a situation where you know you will be damaged but still have to continue it with your eyes wide open.
When I analyse my own experience, of what probably is ME/CFS, and my experiences of the system, in light of the definition of traumatic stress, Dr. Klimas research and RMEs survey - I see that there are things both in the disease itself and in the sick persons relation to the system, that can be counted to traumatic stressors.
Many factors are traumatic in themselves:
- The change from being an active, independent and fully functioning person to be severely functionally impaired, limited and depending on others.
- To experience dramatic worsening of symptoms (PEM) due to basic activities of daily living or things that are considered to be a part of standard healthcare/dental care
The combination of seriously debilitating symptoms - including post-exertional malaise (PEM) that can be triggered by both physical, cognitive and emotional overload - and the amount of people that are mistreated in relation to the system increase the risk for trauma:
- To repeatedly seek help due to a difficult situation in hope of getting a correct diagnosis, and then despite the diagnosis be treated as the disease does not exist
- That neither the severe disability or the increasing symptoms recognized by health care despite the functional level of those affected can be compared to advanced cancer
- To be questioned, reduced and neglected repeated times, while your possibilities to live your life are extremely limited due to severe symptoms
- Being forced into care and rehabilitation that is incorrect - or at an inappropriate level - with temporary, long term or permanent deterioration as a consequence, without getting understanding of how it affects your daily life
It is a fact that there is an increased risk of PTSD if you are living under severe stress, if your life is unpredictable, if you are tormented and persecuted, for example by bullying or if you feel betrayed and deceived. The risk increases if you are in a social environment giving rise to feelings of shame and guilt, self-loathing and stigmatization. The patients in the survey study made by the Swedish National Association for ME patients (RME) with this kind of experiences thus are at risk for developing PTSD.
It is also well known that both PTSD and severe chronic illness increases the risk of suicide. A recent study shows that patients with ME/CFS have a significant risk of premature death, the three main causes of premature death are suicide, cancer and cardiovascular diseases.
In Sweden, about 40 000 people are ill in ME/CFS - men, women and children - and most of them lack a correct diagnosis. ME/CFS is a neurological disease and biomedical research shows abnormalities in the nervous, immune and endocrine systems, but in the current situation there is no cure. Although the disease is more common than both MS and Parkinson there is a great lack of specialist clinics in most counties and the knowledge in the rest of the healthcare system is very low.
It is not at all reasonable that patients have their disease deteriorated due to flaws in the system and that some in addition develops secondary mental health problems such as PTSD, and at worst commit suicide!
But the truth is that every one of the 40,000 sick are at risk as long as nothing is done to change the situation.
A little about me. Sick for almost a decade and waiting for an investigation in a ME/CFS clinic - one of the three present in Sweden. Mostly homebound and couch/bed bound. Married, parent and also Occupational Therapist (on sick leave). This blogpost is earlier published in Swedish, in this version you will find a lot of links to other posts from my blog, for example about my own experience on this topic. Unfortunately they are all in Swedish.

HELENA — It's not personal. It's fiscal.
That's what Gov. Steve Bullock told legislators and others before — and after — his barrage of vetoes that ended Monday.
Saving money did seem to have been the prime motive behind many of his vetoes.
It couldn't have been personal because the vetoes angered some of Bullock's strongest Democratic allies, to say nothing of the Republicans who crossed party lines to support some major administration bills.
In all, Bullock vetoed 71 bills, second only to Gov. Brian Schweitzer's 78 in 2011.
Forty-one of Bullock's vetoes were money bills. He slashed $150 million from the budget by deep-sixing these bills.
These vetoes allowed Bullock to achieve one of his main budget goals announced in January, before he took office.
He wanted at least a $300 million general fund surplus — or ending fund balance, in accounting terms — as of mid-2015 when the Legislature adjourned.
The Legislature left a $182 million surplus, $118 million short of Bullock's target, according to the Legislative Fiscal Division.
Bullock then began vetoing bills to meet his target.
The projected mid-2015 surplus now sits at $310.4 million, according to updated figures from his budget director, Dan Villa. That's just enough to exceed Bullock's target, but it would drop if legislators override any of these vetoes.
So what's so magic about his goal of $300 million?
Bullock said that's a reserve of about 15 percent of appropriated general-fund spending for fiscal 2015.
Why does he want such a large surplus?
"I can look out my window right now, and I don't see snowpack," Bullock said last week. "Be it fires, be it flood, be it an economic downtown, it's my job to manage this budget when they leave town."
The Legislature adjourned April 24 and is powerless to do anything about state finances, barring a special session, until January 2015 when the next regular session convenes. Governors will do almost anything within their power to avoid calling special sessions, except for emergencies.
"The legislators, after they leave, aren't worrying about those numbers like I am," Bullock said. "Given that we have a Legislature that meets every two years, and we're one fire season, one economic downturn away from going through that 15 percent, ... I think Montanans understand how they want it managed well and that we need to keep that rainy-day fund."
Asked how Bullock settled on the $300 million target, Villa said the governor looked at the actual recent ending fund balances and settled on a middle range.
Recent actual surpluses were $451.7 million in fiscal 2012, $341.9 million in 2011, $310.6 million in 2010, $392 million in 2009 and $433.6 million in 2008, Villa said.
Bullock's $300 million is more than twice Schweitzer's $125 million surplus goal two years ago, Villa said.
Some legislators expect state revenues to come in much higher, which would produce an even higher surplus.
Senate Joint Resolution 27, introduced in early April by Sen. Bruce Tutvedt, R-Kalispell, projected $50 million in additional revenue than what legislators predicted in November. The Bullock administration estimated even $50 million more than SJR 27, or $100 million more.
Senate Republican leaders never allowed SJR27 to be debated on the floor, so the revenue estimates were never updated.
Having a hefty surplus not only protects Bullock and the state financially these next two years against fires, floods and other unforeseen events, but it also could set him up well for the 2015 session and beyond.
Bullock got most of his agenda through this session — except for the proposal that was the cornerstone of his 2012 campaign. He proposed giving all Montana homeowners a one-time, $400 property tax rebate at a cost of around $100 million. Republicans killed it in committee.
He borrowed the rebate idea from Schweitzer, who persuaded a special session of the 2007 Legislature to pass an identical rebate for all Montana homeowners. It became a key element of Schweitzer's successful 2008 re-election campaign.
Ditto with Republican Gov. Marc Racicot, who got the 1995 Legislature to pass a smaller income tax rebate, dubbed "Nobody told us to keep the change." It passed the year before Racicot's victorious 1996 re-election campaign.
When Democratic Gov. Thomas L. Judge faced re-election in 1976, he sponsored a ballot measure the same year to give tax rebates to homeowners. Voters re-elected Judge and passed his tax rebate measure on the same day.
If the surplus remains healthy, might Bullock have something similar in mind before his 2016 re-election?

D had a little taste and thought the miso was gravy like, not an odd thing to think - especially as Miso gravy is quite popular at the moment, but what was a bizarre suggestion was to serve this with some mash.
What mash potatoes, really?!
Surprisingly, it worked.
I tentatively call this a Oriental inspired Minestrone because of the addition of miso paste. There are many variations of miso. I used one called Genmai Miso also known simply as Brown Rice Miso.
This Minestrone was fresh and tasty. The courgettes had a bit of crunch. the spinach lended a silkyness. The beans and peas imparted that faint beany flavour; and the broth was both light and 'meaty' in flavour. We also had it the following day as a soup too. I am sharing this with My Legume Love Affair hosted by Herbs, Spices and Traditions and Healthy Vegan Fridays. and CookBlogShare hosted Hijacked By Twins; No Croutons Required co-hosted by Tinned Tomatoes and Lisa's Vegetarian Kitchen; and Cook Once Eat Twice hosted by Searching for Spice. .
Miso Minestrone
Serves - 4 - 6
2 tablespoons peanut or vegetable oil
1 onion, peeled and minced
2 small leeks, cleaned and sliced
4 chestnut mushrooms, sliced into small pieces
2 tablespoons Clearspring Genmai miso aka brown rice miso paste (from Suma Wholefoods) or similar
1 courgette, cut into quarters
1 1/2 pints vegetable stock
160g mixture of frozen edamame, peas and broad beans
Handful of spinach, roughly chopped
Freshly ground black pepper to taste
Salt to taste
In a wide pan, heat the oil, then saute the onion and leeks until tender, then stir in the mushrooms and miso paste and cook for a few minutes, before stirring in the stock, bring to the boil.
Then turn the heat down and cook for a 10 minutes, before stirring in the remaining ingredients: the courgette, beans peas and spinach.
Cook for a few minutes before serving.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Best eaten within a couple of days.

You've probably heard the words "Live out your faith" dozens, if not hundreds, of times, but what does that phrase really mean? And how do you really follow Jesus in today's world?
In this student adaptation of his book Thrive, Casting Crowns' Mark Hall explores exactly what it means when your faith and your life collide, and how you can take the next steps in making that faith real and evident to those around you. Using relatable stories, applications you can use, as well as some life lessons, Hall shows how you can root yourself in the truth and grow strong in your beliefs as you become the person God designed you to be.
|Mark Hall , Tim Luke
|About the Contributor(s)

He has been in ministry nearly twenty years and has served at Eagle's Landing First Baptist Church in McDonough, Georgia, for the last eight years. Mark admits he'd be overwhelmed by life's demands were it not for his wife of nineteen years, Melanie, who also serves as Casting Crowns' road manager. Even on tour, Mark and Melanie homeschool their four children: John Michael, Reagan, Zoe, and Hope.

- Review by Kristin
Overall Rating
I have to say I love this book. I knew from the very first chapter, it was going to be one of those books that was going to be 5 stars for me. Immediately, I started telling people about this book.
Mark Hall is such a relatable person, and a great writer. The stories that he tells make you see that even as a pastor and the lead singer of a successful Christian rock group, he is still very human like his readers. He struggles just as much as we do.
There were only two things I did not like. The first was towards the end of the book with the proselytizing. I don't agree with it. I've hated when people have done it to me, and I would hate to make other people feel uncomfortable as some once did to me. I have never agreed with it, and I can't see me doing it to someone. I understand why the author feel that proselytizing is necessary, but its not for me. On the other hand, there are those who are very comfortable with it. If it's your thing, go for it.
The second thing I did not like was more about where I am in my faith journey in relation to the book. The book itself assumes that you're somewhat further on your journey than I am. I am a very new returner to my faith, so I really need more digging deep time before I could even think that I am near to where the author assumes I am in my journey.
Overall, it was an incredible book that I am keeping on my bookshelf for a very long time. (Posted on 7/25/2014)

As we discussed in the previous article, there are 4 dominant personality types identified throughout centuries by Hippocrates, Carl Jung, David Keirsey and the Myers-Briggs test. Those personality types have unique traits. Those traits affect the buying habits and decision-making process each personality goes through before giving you money.
In order to sell better, you must satisfy those buying traits. In this article we help you achieve that.
It's important that you read the previous article in this series to understand the four personality types and what makes them tick.
Who is Your Dominant Personality Type?
This is a very tough one to identify. Do your customers have a dominant personality trait? Are they mostly Artisans or are they Idealists? What if you have a mix of two? What if you have a little bit of all four? How do you know?
Unfortunately, you never know.
Not only do you never know the dominant buying personality of your customers, personality can change depending on the role a person is playing. For example, Jim is a CEO of a major company. As an CEO he is required to make quick, fact-based decisions, which puts him into the Rational category. But Jim's dominant "off-work" personality is Idealist, so he cares a lot about others. In his workplace, Jim may mix his work-based Rational personality with his regular Idealist personality, operating in two modes. Those two modes affect his final decision; therefore, your website must feature content for both modes.
Your website may get a little bit of everybody, so it makes sense to build a website for all four personalities. It is very tricky and requires major template and content planning, but the results are well worth it.
The upper portion of your top level pages should be aimed at Artisans and Rationals, while the bottom part can get detailed for Guardians and Idealists, since those types do not mind digging for details.
{mospagebreak title=Conversion Optimization}
FutureNow calls this conversion optimization theory Persuasion Architecture (PA). With Persuasion Architecture, you plan a website for all four personality types, including:
website template
copy writing
tools, downloads, widgets, software, etc.
Persuasion Architecture plans paths for each personality type in accordance with their decision-making process. It marries the sales process with the buying process of your customers. Persuasion Architecture is far more advanced than conversion optimization for four personality types; it touches imaginary personas, structures, wire framing, buying cycles, business topology and a lot more.
The topic is too large to discuss in one article; after all, Bryan and Jeffrey Eisenberg, the fathers of Persuasion Architecture, wrote an entire book, so here we will only touch on the basics. In this particular part of our article series, we discuss copy writing and after sale support for each of the four personality types. As you will see, copy writing is very distinct when you put it through this lens. If you ignore this fact, your site will be leaving money on the table — for your competitors to grab.
{mospagebreak title=Copy Writing for the Four Personality Types}
Guardians SJ
Guardians are at home in engineering, programming and other sciences that require a love of detail. They are usually serious and somewhat introverted.
When writing your website copy for Guardians, you must know your stuff. If you don't, they will be on to you in a second. They are very suspicious of "sales hype" and it usually turns them off, so avoid the hard sell.
Here are two fictional examples to show you good and bad ways to approach selling to Guardians.
A recent study released by Johnson Research showed that in May 2009, 45,236,641 links were not in use on the Internet. This compares to 34,678,234 in May 2008, one year ago. By using BABA URL Command software, it was demonstrated that companies increased revenues by $23,344 – $564,865 per year and cut time spent on URL optimization.
Get BABA URL software and you can earn up to $500,000 per year, by using abandoned URLs available for free on the Internet. For just $5 per week you will make profits of over $1,300 per day!
Artisans SP
Artisans usually succeed as sales people, marketers and entertainers. If your customer is an Artisan, the Internet is a perfect place to sell your product.
Artisans tolerate sales pitches. When writing for them, your pitch should be concise and to the point. Artisans love self-expression, so you can help your sales process by emphasizing how you can aid their self-expression. Don't get into too many details, as those will bore them. Write something humorous and you will gain more respect in an Artisan's eyes. Summarize pros and cons.
Imagine yourself in a luxury hotel, lying in the heat of the sun, on white sand, slowly sipping your drink…. while bikini-clad ladies pass by, glancing at you with interest. Or maybe you will ride that red sports car, taking the clutch up to 5 on the freeway, way beyond the speed limit… screw the speed limits…
This 10-year perfected sales system will allow you to increase your income level by at least 15% over the next year. That extra income will help you get a vacation or buy the car you've always wanted.
Idealists NF
Idealists are very friendly and artistic people. They don't like the extreme stuff. Idealists love to be part of a bigger team as opposed to doing solo work. They also put others above themselves.
When writing for Idealists, try a one-on-one, friendly approach. Assume your reader is an old friend and write a warm "personal letter" to him or her. Provide a very strong guarantee, state concrete facts, offer believable testimonials and proof of exceptional after sales support.
Rationals NT
Do not invade their personal space. Rationals are natural-born leaders. They make decisions quickly and don't like too many details. Pros and cons are usually enough. Rationals disrespect laziness and inefficiency. They honor and respect effectiveness in a person.
When selling to Rationals, avoid even a hint of hype. Speak to them at their level and include a summary along with the bottom line. Write professionally with a business-like approach.
Good examples of Rational personalities are Oscar Schindler in the movie Schindler's List and Frank Lucas from American Gangster.
Dear stock buyer. You and I are both aware that there's no guaranteed way to win on the stock market (unless you're pulling Wall Street games), but if you give me a minute of your time, I will show you how I've developed a strategy that helped me be a winner. There are only 100 copies of this book, because I want the strategy to keep on working, since I still collect a good yield from this field. So if you're in stock market trade, please ….
Hey Friend! My name is Ivan and I am about to share a money-making, well-kept, stock market trading secret. Sit back, kick your legs in the air and relax, because what I'm about to share with you will make you so much money you will quit your job. You are about to learn how to make a lot of money and always win in the stock market, by applying my mega-money-making formula.
{mospagebreak title=After Sale Service for Each Personality Type}
Guardians SJ
A good way to make Guardians happy is to ask them for feedback. If a Guardian replies with a specific problem or issue, say that you will fix it, but also ask for ideas on how to fix it. He will be very pleased to "consult" with you and suggest a solution.
Artisans SP
This personality suffers from impulse buying with a high probability of "buyer's remorse." Take extra time and effort to reassure Artisans that this is the right choice and that they made the right decision.
Right after the sale, send them an auto responder email stating all the benefits he or she will receive. Then send a second email asking if he's happy. After that, send a third email about a week later asking for feedback and a testimonial.
Idealists NF
Idealists do not like change. It's like a 100-meter-high brick wall for them. Once climbed over, though, they become loyal repeat customers (assuming you deliver what you promised, along with good customer service).
After the sale, follow up with an email asking if everything is okay. If you get a reply, be warned that it might be a negative response, because Idealists are slow to change. Keep in touch with them as a friend, and they will get over everything.
Rationals NT
Rationals are used to being treated like a boss, and expect that from you. Ensure that this customer has all of the contact information he or she needs, such as email address, phone, fax and postal address. Send it out again in your auto responder email. If a problem arises, answer right away. If you delay, a Rational will give business to those who reply promptly instead.
We've discussed how the four personality types approach their buying decisions, how to write copy for them, and how to treat them after the sale, so what's left? In the third part we'll discuss the web site design elements you will want to include to cater to the four personality types. You won't want to miss it.
