Hastings was not a government-planned town. It was created out of the financial misfortune of Thomas Tanner, who intended his Riverslea Estate, which comprised about half of modern Hastings, to be a sheep station.
Struggling to make his debt repayments to his financers and ongoing payments to Maori, he was forced to sell of part of Riverslea in 100 acre (40ha) blocks.
When the railway line was announced to route through Karamu (Hastings) in 1873, one of the 100-acre block owners, Francis Hicks, gave land to the government for free to place a station and goods shed. He then subdivided his land – made a fortune and disappeared to Waikato to farm there.
The other 100 acre block owners, seeing the success of Hicks' land sales also broke their land up for sale.
West of the railway line was James Nelson Williams' Frimley Estate. He too began to subdivide and made provision in 1898 for a 20 acre (8ha) park within his estate by gifting the land to the Hastings Borough Council. The park would be called Cornwall Park.
Though it might be hard to believe today, councils in those days could hardly spare any money to develop parks.
Over time as Hastings began to prosper from its rural neighbours' wealth, the council put money into Cornwall Park by creating sportsgrounds, plantings, buildings – and even a zoo with monkeys was added in the 1920s.
A popular form of entertainment in the late 1800s and early 1900s was open air music performed from a bandstand. Cornwall Park received a bandstand in the early 1920s, which consisted of a wooden dais. This was removed in 1927 when artesian wells were dug in that area.
Hastings architect Harold Davies designed a tea kiosk in "modern renaissance style", and construction began in November 1928. It would feature Hawke's Bay's most novel bandstand.
The council decided to set up a sub-committee to set rules for the kiosk's operation and authorised the purchase of fixtures and fittings by taking £150 (2018: $14,600) from the Municipal Theatre account.
The total cost of the kiosk was around £1225 ($120,000).
Inside, the building contained a large women's restroom and a kitchen complete with gas rings for cooking. A servery opened out on to the seating area under the covered verandah. There were also toilets and a large inside area for functions.
A feature of the building was a band rotunda on the roof that was illuminated by light pillars, which could be covered by a canvas awning in the case of rain. The roof band stand was accessed through an outside door leading to a staircase.
To raise money for cleaning and maintaining the toilets, a penny-in-the-slot device was to be placed in one of the doors.
In March 1929, the kiosk was ready for use, and a lessee was found – Mrs A Kirby.
The council said in April 1929 the kiosk was "being successfully run" and providing a "most valuable asset to the Park".
Unfortunately, burglars targeted the kiosk with two break-ins occurring by June 1929. Entry was by smashing glass doors and a window.
Business at the kiosk must have been satisfactory, as in November 1929 Mrs Kirby applied for a renewal of her lease. She had asked for the rental to be halved over the winter months, but the council refused, threatening to call tenders. Mrs Kirby had submitted another request at the same time – to continue the lease on the same terms as present, which was accepted by the council.
When the Hawke's Bay Earthquake occurred in February 1931, Mrs Kirby reported that the kiosk was "not even cracked by the quake".
The Tea Kiosk was managed in the 1950s by Val Cash for her father, who did all the cooking for the kiosk and other functions offsite, such as dances. He had taken over from George Woolley.
Refreshments offered at the kiosk included ice creams, milk shakes and sweets. The kiosk also supplied cricketers at the nearby ground with afternoon tea at 9 pence (65 cents).
According to Val Cash, a fire closed the tea rooms around 1957.
In 1967, a rough sketch over the original plans suggested alterations to the building, to turn it once again into a tea kiosk or tea meeting room, and a discussion was held with council officers, but the idea got no further. It appeared that the two open verandahs had been closed in by external walls at that stage.
The Hawke's Bay Playcentre Association was given tenancy of the building in 1970. They altered it during 1988, and the bandstand area was removed and replaced with a corrugated iron pitched roof. The playcentre also added an adventure playground outside over the years.
In 2018 the Cornwall Park Playcentre occupies the old Tea Kiosk.

What to spend your money on and when a splurge just isn't necessary.
I am no stranger to the "Investment Piece". I was gifted a Louis Vuitton travel bag for my 21st birthday (thank you to my dear friends and family) and I haven't looked back since.
In those seven or so years, I have purchased a Louis Vuitton speedy tote, Givenchy tote bag, 4 pairs of Louboutins, Marc Jacobs ballet flats and, most recently, I became the proud owner of the coveted Valentino Rock Stud flat.
Now, you will notice a pretty pattern here: shoes and bags have been my chosen Investments over the years and I truly believe these are the best value for money for a number of reasons…
While I would NEVER say no to a Chloe blouse or Balmain skirt if gifted to me, I can't guarantee that a) I will remain this current size forever (here's hoping though…) and b) that these pieces will remain relevant over the next seven years.
Shoes and bags (and blazers – I will ALWAYS condone the purchasing of a Balmain blazer!) will be your safest bet when breaking out the Amex (and into a sweat) as these pieces will last the test of trends and time, as well as work with your body shape and size… despite the fact you ate your body weight in Easter Eggs…
Always take time to consider, research, consult and test-try potential Investments as you want to be 100% committed before adding to your cart. On average, I generally research (aka start hinting to my husband) at least one year before I buy and this ensures it isn't just a trend or phase I am going through.
I always recommend physically seeing a designer item before taking the plunge – whilst luxury accessories are always of the utmost quality, I like to feel the leather/ stitching/ size/ weight of an item plus it always serves to try an item on first to ensure it suits you and your lifestyle.
As far as Investment accessories go, I think it is always best to stick with neutral colours (black, white, tan) and classic shapes where possible and always opt for a patent option as this is the most durable leather.
When it comes to "Savings" you can't beat the High Street market for its' statement jewellery or fashion where a $150 Seed dress; $40 Cotton On boyfriend jean; or $20 Glassons tee will always look #onpoint when accessorized with a Louis.
Happy "Investing" readers! x

The Mexican boutique builder has decided to entice British fans over the weekend during the Goodwood Festival of Speed with the 05RR – a track playmate that can also eb driven home legally.
While the VUHL name might not sound too well known, we can tell you the o5RR's credentials are pretty impressive as they include a very good power-to-weight ratio of 600 hp per ton. After it was teased earlier this month, VUHL is officially introducing the track-oriented model which actually also comes with full road-legal status as well. We can tell you the 05RR is indeed an evolution of the regular 05 and this hardcore version has more power and an even lower weight. The stock version delivers 285 horsepower (212 kilowatts) thanks to an EcoBoost 2.3-liter engine, but the new 05RR has been massaged to a very promising 385 hp (287 kW), sent to the wheels via a six-speed sequential transmission.
Additionally, the 05RR also went to the gym and had a diet that enabled a more than ten percent weight loss, now tipping the scales at just 1,410 pounds (640 kilograms, dry). Thanks to all the enhancements, the VUHL 05RR will blaze to 60 mph in 2.7 seconds – 0.8 seconds quicker than its 05 counterpart. Maximum speed has also gone up from the initial 150 mph (241 kph) to 160 mph (257 kph). While it looks ready to play all day on the track, the VUHL 05RR is road-legal, meaning you can also enjoy it on the drive home.

Sarah Palin's suggestion that if only she had been allowed to discuss then-candidate Barack Obama's ignorance and inexperience she might have won in 2008 was not just hilariously ridiculous, it made her the winner of our Fox News Outrageous Quote of the Week poll. Well, at least she was able to win one contest as a result, eh?
Palin won handily, garnering 85, or 35%, of the 243 votes cast. To review her competition and check out the full poll results, click here.

text: You are here: Home Freelance Resources Freelancing in Libya The Business of Being Freelance Who are your clients? Who are your clients? Select Language: English العربية Photo: Nader Elgadi Share: Copy URL Share on Facebook Share on Twitter URL copied to clipboard Building a good client database is important no matter what kind of freelance journalist you are. Keeping a thorough and up to date list with information on current and potential commissioners means that you will be in the best possible position to get a story published. It doesn't matter what kind of what medium or field you work in - or if you think you may already have good relationships with one or two major clients - it's still important to know who else is out there. Remember, as a freelancer life isn't always that stable. If you're new to the freelance business, it's absolutely essential that you get to know your potential clients so you're immediately on the front foot when it comes to pitching. So, how do you go about creating a good database? How do I find new potential clients? Sites, newspapers, and channels that you frequently visit are always a good place to start - you already know their current output, their focus and what kind of stories they publish. If you think you could fit in there, these are the clients that should be at the top of the list. Freelance travel journalist and lecturer Tristan Rutherford has some suggestions. "A famous journalist once told me to go out and buy a copy of every single publication that could possibly feature my work. In the front of every magazine, I found the relevant editor's name, and their email address. These are the basic details that should go straight in your database." Of course, as many of your prospective clients move online, you can't just go out and buy those contact details - but the email address of an editor may well be on their website. Otherwise, you might have to do some digging - ask fellow freelancers, friends and colleagues if they can help you with contacts. Remember, include absolutely anyone who might publish your work. Having more prospective clients than you might need right now can never hurt. What information should I include in my database? Tristan again. "You need to know what kind of stories the prospective client publishes, when, and in what format." If, for example, you know that an online news outlet particularly likes receiving pitches that make good use of data journalism, make a note of it. Of course, the information can be more general than this. Does the client take unedited rushes? Do they focus on breaking news or in-depth economic analysis? If you have good information on your client, it will show in your pitch, and you won't waste time pitching to clients who don't want your work. Editors love to see that you know who they are, and why they might be interested in your story - and if you've got this information in your database, your pitching is bound to improve. You should keep adding information to your database - it should be a living document. What areas is a client currently interested in? What other commissions have you had from them? Once you know if a client prefers a pitch by email or phone, make sure to write this down. If you realise one client is particularly prompt in replying to breaking stories, highlight this in your database. Make it do the work for you! What should my database actually look like? It's really quite easy to set up a database. Open an Excel spreadsheet and create six columns. The first should be the client's name. in the second column, put the name and contact details of the relevant editor that you want to contact. The next three should tell you all you need to know about the client - what, where, when, and how. Once you've built your client database, you can move on to perfecting your pitch!

Stretch goal achieved! The $249 pledge Set of Seven Dice reward now includes our heavy nickel alloy d2 coin!
Risks and challenges
Our challenge is to deliver rewards on time that are top quality.
We spent most of a year and worked with dozens of manufacturers to select the best production partners possible for our parts and packaging. By investing heavily in samples and tooling we ensured that our manufacturing facilities have everything they need to deliver on time and meet our rigid quality standards. Just in case, we have also vetted and selected back-up manufacturers. Our own facility for laser marking and order fulfillment is up and running.
All of our production has been planned to function in multiple possible scenarios, from barely hitting the goal to a massively popular campaign.
Even with all of this preparation there is a risk that some unforeseen issue comes up. Parts could have longer production lead times than quoted or we could run into logistical or manufacturing complications. We refuse to take shortcuts that sacrifice quality, even if that means a delay.
Every die we make is subjected to our extensive quality checks and we stand behind our products. If you aren't satisfied with your reward you may return it and we will refund your pledge - just contact us within 30 days of delivery. If you change your mind any time before your reward ships, just let us know and we will refund your pledge.Learn about accountability on Kickstarter

Our public lands, the push for carbon capture, & Alabama's toxic drinking water
By Lyndsey Gilpin,
It was about halfway up, at the sharp curve, that I decided we were high enough. The storm was still a ways out, but it was threatening, and the view was already breathtaking. While the sun was still shining, I soaked in the landscape, memorizing the colors of golden hour in the high desert: reds and burnt oranges speckled with vibrant hunter green.
A peaceful morning followed this terrifying night. We sipped coffee as the sun dried the rocks before driving to see rock formations and petroglyphs in Bears Ears, and then made our way on through Utah toward a life out West.
A year-and-a-half later, as one of his final acts as president, Barack Obama declared Bears Ears a national monument. It was a meaningful victory for the Navajo Nation, Pubelo of Zuni, Hopi, Ute Indian, and Ute Mountain Ute tribes who trace their ancestry back to these lands and have fought for years to protect them, as well as public lands and conservation advocates everywhere.
This week, President Trump announced the administration would drastically shrink Bears Ears and the nearby Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument: Bears Ears will go from 1.3 million acres to about 228,000—reducing it by 85 percent. Grand Staircase will be diminished by about half, from 1.9 million acres to around a million. It was a win for Utah's Republican congressmen, county commissions and conservative groups who want to open up the land for development and grazing. The monuments are currently protected under the Antiquities Act, which allows a president to establish or expand national monuments to protect cultural and historic resources. Conservative lawmakers, ranchers and other locals have long cried this law constitutes federal overreach, claiming it deprives them of access to their land as Americans.
I've written before about the moment I discovered that public lands were, well, all of ours, and how learning the intricacies of the different agencies that manage them helped me better understand landscapes in the U.S. The federal government owns nearly a third of the land in this country; about 92 percent of it is in the West. The rest is sprinkled throughout the other half of the U.S.. Less than 5 percent of Kentucky is federally owned, and the same is true for many other Southeastern states. The U.S. Geological Survey has a useful map of federal and tribal lands, as well as a state-by-state breakdown.
These facts do not mean Southerners appreciate public lands less, but it undoubtedly hinders our relationship to them. It is one of the gut-wrenching truths of the South that large swaths of federal or tribal lands are rare. It takes effort to find wide, untouched spaces, and landscapes here often get shorted. To some out West, the rolling green Appalachians aren't as dramatic as the jagged Grand Tetons, and the dense deciduous forests of Georgia may not seem as delicate as Colorado's Aspen groves. But my heart has never felt more full than while staring out over the Virginia-Kentucky border at mountains clouded in fog, or gliding silently in a boat through a wild marsh in southern Louisiana.
It's also never ached more, either. Most of these lands aren't protected, overrun by the fossil fuel, chemical, and agricultural industries. When they are enshrined in law—the Smokies and the Everglades, for example—there are always footprints of industry: pipelines, pollution, development. The damage is often more condensed and unabashed than out West.
The expansion of federal lands is a losing battle in most parts of the South, and where it's not, it's a fight for every inch: the Blue Ridge Conservancy, for instance, has for years been acquiring small parcels of land off the Blue Ridge Parkway to donate to the National Park Service. The fight for recognition or protection of tribal history and culture in the South is even more complicated, devastating, and difficult.
The same night of the Bears Ears announcement, five tribes filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration. It will surely be a long battle, offering us yet another chance to set a precedent for whose history we care to remember, which people and cultures we care to protect, what we actually mean when we sing "this land is your land." It will set off more arguments over the Antiquities Act and fuel the anti-government rhetoric that has been uniting Western ranchers like the Bundys, who want to transfer control of public lands to the states, and alt-right and white nationalist groups that have rallied in Charlottesville and elsewhere. The impacts will reverberate from the sacred sites in Utah to every corner of this country, and affect every person—whether you have vivid memories of the beauty and responsibility of public lands, or if you've never stepped foot on them.
Stories worth your time
"There are a number of ways to stave off erosion and advancing water. You can fight, by replenishing dunes, planting dense thickets of beach grass, or building a barricade of cement or sandbags. Or you can flee, by giving in, cutting your losses, and coming to terms with sacrifice." Atlas Obscura details how North Carolina's historic Cape Hatteras Lighthouse was moved to higher ground to avoid sea level rise.
Oxford American's annual music issue focused on Kentucky. This feature by Zandria Robinson on the history and culture of Southern hip hop and the border wars that come with defining the American South is a must-read. "I had gone from trying to wash the South from my mouth with lye soap to having 'Southern Studies' in my job title. Turned out I found the region in everything, everywhere. There were variations—the 'many Souths,' as it were—and I respected and celebrated intra-regional difference."
News flying under the radar
This week marks the halfway point on the six-month deadline Trump gave Congress to decide the fate of the DREAM Act. More than 8,000 Tennesseans risk losing protection if Congress doesn't pass it, and immigrant mothers in Nashville are speaking out: "I am scared, yes," one woman said. "It's difficult to step forward and say, 'Here I am,' but which mother out there doesn't want to protect their kids? When you see your kid at risk, you take everything to save those kids."
A new organization called The Solar Energy Work Group wants to help homeowners and businesses in southwest Virginia install solar panels on their property. The program includes workforce training and promises of jobs.
Chemical company 3M sent a letter to Alabama regulators saying that it underreported discharge of potentially toxic chemicals into the Tennessee River by a factor of 1,000. The company is in the midst of a lawsuit over contaminated drinking water.

Adult Baby Fun
Share 'Adult Baby Fun' Video
I've told most of my close female friends and my wife. What I tell them is due to a back injury in construction many years ago, I go in and out of needing to wear diapers. In truth, I just enjoy wearing them and wetting and messing in them. I'm now 50 and I first remember wanting to wear diapers at age 7 and have wanted to ever since, although I didn't start to act out regularly until I was 18 living on my own. Up until my early 20's I used to go through bouts of guilt about what was wrong with me and I would throw out all my diaper fetish gear. Then I would end up buying it all again. I finally discovered the ABDL community in my mid twenties and gradually over time have stopped feeling guilty about my love of diapers. I don't know if I would really want to be in them 24/7, though I sometimes fantasize about that. I do know that over the years the frequency of wearing them has increased and I now often go several days diapered 24/7 and loving it. After a day or so of wearing continuously, I find I begin to lose conscious control of my bladder, and to a lesser degree my bowels. In particular, I often find I am wetting my diaper before I realized I was about to. Messing my diaper usually has more advance notice, but after a day or so of wearing, I find that my bladder and bowels tend to relax and the first sign of pressure and I fill my diaper quite naturally. I don't know if I am gradually training myself to become incontinent and this would not be an entirely undesirable outcome either. I wear diapers most evening, but find I have to wake up to pee; I've never wet my diaper while asleep. That said, I have found it increasingly easy to relax my bladder when I wake up and let the urine flow out, then I drift back off to sleep. I'm not certain I want 24/7 incontinence, but I would love to have nighttime incontinence.

Are there more storms on the way? What's the temperature in the alpine right now? What's going on in the world out there?
I don't know. I'm adrift in a sea of ignorance.
My daily routine has been completely thrown off schedule. For four days now I haven't been able to read the CBC, the Globe and Mail and CNN online every morning to see what happened in the eight hours I was asleep. I haven't been able to compulsively check the news every hour throughout the day to see if there are any changes, and with no red number on my e-mail icon I'm feeling very sorry for myself. No one in this entire world appears to be getting in touch with me, not even junk mail.
I feel out of the loop, unconnected, lost without my link to the outside world.
As an information junkie living in a world where almost every query can be answered with a few clicks of the mouse, life without the Internet, even for just a few days, has thrown me completely off balance.
The simplest tasks have become much more onerous.
Take my Christmas cards as an example. Leaving the card writing to the last minute, as usual, I began my Christmas cards this past weekend.
It was going smoothly until I realized I had some missing addresses. Usually the answer is as simple as going to Canada411.com and copying down the address. (You would think I would copy it into my address book at the same time but with the Internet always at my disposal, why bother?) Now I know why.
My option now is to call people to ask for their addresses, which is a little embarrassing five days before Christmas. I had been hoping to blame my late cards on the mail, not my own disorganization.
But Christmas card addresses are really the least of my worries.
There is the other worrisome issue of my bank balance. I wanted to check how much money's left in the account, move some money around and more specifically, see in black and white how much money I've racked up on my credit card this month before heading back out there to the stores. I shudder to think of it. It's so easy to buy Christmas presents on credit and such a huge shock in the New Year when you get your bill, I was hoping a reality check and actually seeing the numbers staring back at me online would tighten up my spending. The numbers will just go in one ear and out the other if I call for the balance.
And what about my friends from around the world who I'm in touch with on an almost daily basis, even if it's just to say a quick hello? It's weird not to check in, weirder still not to have someone checking in.
And then there's the simple but all important matter of checking and corroborating information at work, a crucial part of my job.
It's so easy to confirm how people spell their names and their titles simply by checking their websites. The Internet also comes in handy for looking up basic historical information and dates.
Writing a story on grizzly bears? Let's learn everything about them, including the most recent studies online.
Researching ammonia? There's a plethora of information about its basic properties. There's more information out there than you'll ever want to know.
What did we do in the days before the Internet? Just imagine having to do things the old fashioned way at the library.
I wouldn't know about that. For my entire working career I have taken the Internet for granted. It has always been at my disposal, ready to call up any fact, any figure, any stat at any moment's notice.
I didn't realize you could miss something quite so much.
So it's back. And I'm starting to feel normal again, able to settle back into my routine, able to check some last minute things before we go to print this issue.
But it's been an eye-opener.
In fact, by the end of day four I was starting to get a little used to it, liking the feeling of being out of touch.
In this fast-paced, crazed world maybe taking a few days to disconnect is a good thing.
I mean, really, who cares what the temperature is in the alpine or how much snow fell last night. It only really matters if you're up there enjoying it, rather than checking it from your desk and missing it.

Charlotte Faragher, a volunteer at the dementia communications project, Empowered Conversations - led by Salford social enterprise Six Degrees, took home two awards at our recent Heart of Salford awards. Here, Charlotte tells us what the recognition means to her.
Getting a nomination at the Heart of Salford awards for the work that I do with the Empowered Conversations project run by Six Degrees was an amazing surprise.
I was convinced that there were more worthy people than me so I went along to the awards ceremony with my dad with no expectations!
After the yummy lunch, the ceremony got underway with bubbly host Emma Goswell from BBC Radio Manchester and Gaydio.
Each category at the awards – set up by Salford CVS – showcased the amazing shortlisted nominees and hearing all about their hard work in supporting the community, charities and social enterprise with their voluntary work – helping isolated and vulnerable groups in Salford.
The final vote for the overall category winners was put to the audience at the awards. If I'm being honest, I was shocked to be shortlisted in my category, which was the Josie Browne Personal Achievement Award, celebrating individuals who have overcome personal difficulties but still make time to volunteer.
I had even convinced myself I knew who the winner would be – a woman who lives with mental health issues but volunteers at a suicide prevention hotline. I had my gracious clap ready and waiting when surprise of surprises the name announced as the winner was my own! I could not suppress my happiness but also made sure to shout out a quick "well done" to the other nominees.
As if that wasn't enough, each of the winners of the first five categories were put forward for the audience to vote for one overall winner who would be crowned Volunteer of the Year. I was the most nervous I had been all day trying to appear nonchalant but unable to stop hearing the thud, thud, thud of my heart in my chest as we waited for the winner to be announced. Again, I was not expecting to have my name called and when it was, the room erupted into thunderous applause and loud cheers, which was a fantastic experience. I felt honoured and humbled to be the recipient and it was lovely that people I had never even met before appeared to be so happy for me.
I just want to say a massive thank you to Six Degrees for allowing me to volunteer in the first place. This social enterprise is such a passionate, welcoming team and EVERYONE in the group does such awesome, fulfilling work. I could not produce the apparently good work I do if you didn't make me feel so included and welcome. The nomination and subsequent winning of the awards has greatly boosted my confidence, helped me believe I can achieve worthwhile things and shown that I can be of benefit to others while living with my disability.

Kyle is a super nice guy & very professional. I enjoyed working with you & thank you for buying my house. I will definitely recommend you to anyone who is wanting to sell their house.
- Pamela R., Cincinnati, OH
"We are truly grateful and blessed to have found Kyle. He was very prompt, polite, knowledgeable and made selling our family home to him a wonderful experience. We called multiple companies, including one of the more well known ones you see commercials about on TV. Kyle was able to out bid the competition and made the process a breeze for us. Considering we are a military family who lived out of state, he was even able to close remotely within the time frame promised. DO NOT CALL THOSE OTHER GUYS... KYLE SHOULD BE YOUR 1ST AND ONLY CALL!"
-M. Hayes
Working with Kyle was a real pleasure. I would recommend him to anyone looking to sell their house fast at a fair price.

7 Tips of Highly Effective
Elevator Pitch
My partner and I attended an Elevator Pitch for Investments in Singapore last month. There were 60 companies each doing a one-minute elevator pitch before a group of venture capitalists and angel investors. We could distinguish between the professional and the amateur pitchers, even in one minute!
So what exactly is an elevator pitch? It is a window of opportunity you might get when taking an elevator with a potential prospect (especially in Silicon Valley). You have only 30 to 60 seconds to sell your ideas, products or services to your audience or venture capitalist during the elevator ride.
Here are some tips to create a good elevator pitch.
Grab attention
Out of 60 presenters in the Singapore session, only 3 or 4 used this technique. One pitcher presented with his partner screaming and yelling before he started, and he's pitching for a medicine which claims to cure lunatics.
Speak clearly and forcibly with confidence
Most of the presenters spoke with a soft voice, some murmuring with words. You bet they would not be heard or remembered. Speak with PASSION!
State the problems and benefits concisely
You can say who you are and who is your company, but in just one or two sentences. Focus on what is the problem and how you can provide solutions to those problems, clearly and concisely.
Say why are you different
State in clear terms why you are different, why invest in you?
Use a memory hook
This is to put a memory tag to you and your company. Again, out of 60 presenters, only 3 or 4 used a memory hook. Some interesting memory hooks include:
- We sell God (on a pitch for investment in building temples in an island)
- Ask for More, Ask Pepsi, Ask for More Returns, Ask eOneNet.
Call for Action
Offer to meet the prospects, pass to them your name cards, executive summary etc.
Finish it in one minute sharp
Prepare and practise to make sure that you finish in one minute or slight less than one minute. Over 80% of the pitchers couldn't finish what they wanted to say in one minute.
Develop A Good Elevator Pitch
The key to developing a good elevator pitch is to practise, practise, and practise. Now in Malaysia, there is an international organisationwhich helps its members to develop powerful elevator pitch, by allowing its members to deliver a "60 seconds presentation" of their business during their meeting each week, with the purpose of generating referrals of business among members.
This organisation is Business Network International (BNI), which claims to be the world's largest referral organisation with over 2,300 chapters worldwide, passing 2.1 million referrals amounting to more than RM2.8 billion worth of business in 2001. eOneNet is proud to be the website manager for their website www.BNIMalaysia.com.
Whether you want to develop a good elevator pitch or to increase your business via referral marketing, you are highly recommended to visit their meeting to find out more!

SCBWI Metro-NY Chapter
Monday, November 7, 2016 from 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM (EST)
Event Details
November 7, 2016
AGENTS PANEL: FREE CO-EVENT for SCBWI Members and NEW SCHOOL Students
The Agent Panel, moderated by Metro NY Volunteer and writer Adria Quiñones, will feature Linda Camacho (Prospect Agency); Susan Hawk (The Bent Agency); and Andrea Somberg ( Harvey Klinger Inc.)
This event is free for all SCBWI Members and New School Students. Attendees MUST register and bring a ticket from SCBWI Metro NY website. Non Members must purchase a ticket for the event. Please note change of date, time and place. This Event will begin MONDAY at 6 pm at The New School. Tickets can be obtained or purchased under the tab "Upcoming Metro NY Events"
Adria Quiñones is a wildly successful technical writer who began writing novels for kids in order to have the experience of writing something that someone actually wanted to read. Adria is a regular contributor to the Metro-NYC SCBWI's blog and was a winner of the SCBWI 2014 Midwinter Conference's prestigious joke contest. In January 2015, Adria was named one of the winners of SCBWI's Emerging Voices Award for her middle-grade novel, The Disappeared.
Linda Camacho joined Prospect Agency in 2015 after nearly a decade in publishing. After graduating from Cornell University, Linda interned at Simon & Schuster and Writers House literary agency, and worked at Penguin before happily settling into children's marketing at Random House. She has an MFA in creative writing from the Vermont College of Fine Arts. Unofficially, Linda loves chocolate, travel, and far too much TV. In terms of submissions, she's pretty omnivorous. She enjoys a variety of categories and genres, ranging from picture book to adult, from clean and lighthearted contemporary to edgy and dark fantasy. Follow Linda on Twitter: @LindaRandom
Susan Hawk is a literary agent at The Bent Agency, representing middle grade, YA, picture books, and nonfiction for kids. Projects she represents share powerful and original writing, strong story-telling and a distinctive, sometimes off-kilter voice. In middle grade and YA, she's looking for unforgettable characters, rich world-building, and she's a sucker for bittersweet; bonus points for something that makes her laugh out loud. In picture books, she's looking particularly for author/illustrators, succinct but expressive texts, and indelible characters. Her favorite projects live at the intersection of literary and commercial. Before agenting, she spent fifteen years in children's book marketing at Penguin, Henry Holt and North-South Books; she also worked in editorial at Dutton Children's Books, and as a children's librarian and bookseller. www.thebentagency.com and@susanhawk on Twitter.
Andrea Somberg, a literary agent for over fifteen years, represents a wide range of titles, including projects for young adult and middle grade audiences. Previously an agent at the Donald Maass Agency and Vigliano Associates, she joined Harvey Klinger Literary Agency in the spring of 2005. Her clients' books have been NYTimes and USABestsellers and nominated for The Governor General's Award, the Lambda Award, the Mythopoeic Fantasy Award, the VCU Cabell First Novelist Award, YALSA awards, and selected for state-wide reading lists.

Police: Woman raped live on Web site:
That my friends is one 20-year-old Johnathon Richard Hock of Surprise, Arizona. He's accused of setting up a webcam in the bedroom of a Phoenix girl that he was dating at the time. After she passed out from drinking too much alcohol it's alleged that Hock raped her while she was unconscious and streamed it live on the web using a popular streaming site. Hock admits that 'something happened' and knew she was unconscious but it wasn't rape. Yeeeeeah, right.
And for extra scumbag points…
In the video, Hock reportedly made comments about him being able to commit the assault without her knowledge while he performed various sexual acts, according to the court document.
The rape is said to have taken place on February 26th and Hock was just arrested Monday.
In Hock's mugshot, it looks like he's cleaned himself up. If you don't know what I mean here's his Facebook fan page. Apparently, he thinks he's some kind of internet celebrity. I don't get who would want to watch this emo douche anyway.
I can't say for certain which site Hock used to broadcast the rape but I did find multiple Stickam accounts for Hock. Coincidence?
In the past, I've called Stickam the pedophiles' playground because of it's no age limit and lack of moderators. Once a room goes private in Stickam the only chance of moderation is for someone in the room to flag it. Basically, they're letting the inmates run the asylum and we all know how well that worked out for craigslist. Apparently, it's not just the pedophiles' playground but it may be the predators' playground as well.
To all you Stickam defenders, you can take your 'vibrant community' and shove it.

THREE WOMEN–The Artists
Paula Brereton, Anne Grigoriadis and Ann Whitby met through studying visual art at Adelaide Central School of Art. They are the founding members of the social painting group held at the Campbelltown ArtHouse, which meets weekly to make art, share ideas and knowledge with art loving community members. Ann Whitby is currently the Arthouse secretary and has been with the ArtHouse group for over 4 years.
This exhibition is a reflection of the recent work of Paula, Anne and Ann. They decided to build a theme around feminine subjects.
Paula's work is looking at strong female characters in mythology, history and stories. Paula is also interested in the interplay of colours and uses colourful avatars to tell a story and carry the colours across the painting.
Anne has based her work on identity; how objects we choose to surround ourselves with, tells a story about who we are. Her figure drawings have a connection to Anne and how she perceives herself as an artist.
Ann's first love is drawing and has been inspired to record the smooth flowing contours and shapes of women performing at an ancient ruin in Nha Trang, Vietnam. Using a variety of scale and mediums Ann contrasts the eroded linear patterns on the Cham towers alongside the feminine figures.
The name of the exhibition is 'Three Women' not as a political statement but because that is what we are; three women making art.

For the first time in a long time, I had a baby dream the other night. Weird. I used to have them all the time--especially when I was pregnant {& no, I'm not pregnant}--but it's been years since I dreamed one. Usually they were about my feared inability to care for or even remember the baby.
In one recurring dream, I would suddenly discover that I FORGOT TO FEED THE BABY, EVER, and, apparently, that was a really bad idea. Come to find out, though, babies don't really let you forget to feed them. Whew. (Or as Maddy says, fyoof.)
When I received this week's letter to a parent, I was fascinated to hear that not only was I not alone in the baby dreaming but that dads-to-be also have them. Click on over to read Sugata's wonderful letter about realizing what those fears were all about and how his daughters taught him they were unfounded.

We're starting the new year with an exciting project for Off Beat, a company selling limited edition prints of rock photos. We're currently working on a series of videos featuring Off Beat and photos of Bruce Springsteen taken by his official tour photographer Jo Lopez. Together with Eye For Businnes, we filmed at BBC Radio Norfolk while Jo Lopez was interviewed by Stephen Bumfrey – you can listen to it here.
We were in London yesterday where twelve limited edition photos of Bruce were hand signed by Jo Lopez.
We can say that Jo Lopez is just as cool in person as his photography – check out his website: jolopezphotography.com. Jo's Springsteen exhibition will travel around the UK and Europe in 2015!

The world's gone to sleep, but not me;
I'm left uneasy by an owlish urge
to keep watch when watching's silly.
Sounds grow menacing to the unpillowed ear,
while the muffled one augments
a steady rhythm of breath and blood.
In breathing slow I hope to mime
the sleeper's easy speech of sighs and whispers;
in sharp jumps and half starts I fall
into dreams that disconnect without warning.
I'm adrift in the Horse Latitudes,
bobbing and rolling with the slow motion
of swells far out to sea; as if
in trying to sleep I become a plaything
to be turned turtle by nightbreakers:
no direction into sleep, no momentum.
Give me the strength to swim from this shallow chop
into the Gulf Stream's forceful seawish;
the strongest undertow seeks a single direction:
my yawn continued by the current's pull.
October 1998

HIBISCUS FLOWER (non-caffeinated)
Hibiscus is a wonderful flower in teas on its own or it can be added to a number of mixtures to improve flavor, odor and color. The fruit acids in hibiscus may work like a laxative. Some researchers think that other chemicals in hibiscus might be able to lower blood pressure; decrease spasms in the stomach, intestines, and uterus; and work like antibiotics to kill bacteria and worms.

Mack introduces Mack® LR and TerraPro® refuse models with Lytx integration at WasteExpo 2018
SAN DIEGO (April 24, 2018) – Lytx, the global leader in video telematics, announced that Mack Trucks will roll out vehicles pre-wired for the Lytx DriveCam® safety program and Lytx Video Services℠ enhancement.
The announcement, made today at WasteExpo 2018 in Las Vegas, builds on a Memorandum of Understanding signed last October between Mack Trucks and Lytx that promised higher levels of integration and collaboration between the two companies to support their mutual customers.
"We continually look for innovative ways to enhance the safety of our roadways," said David Pardue, Vice President of Connected Vehicle and Contract Services for Mack Trucks. "The decision to partner with Lytx was a natural step because we want to provide our customers with a faster, easier way to implement their industry-leading video telematics solutions."
As of fall 2018, customers will have the opportunity to order the Mack LR and TerraPro refuse models wired and ready for faster program deployment of Lytx solutions. The option will be available when clients configure or order new Mack LR and TerraPro trucks through Mack dealers. Customers can choose wiring for either the SV2 or one of the SF Series event recorders for rapid, plug-and-play deployment.
"Mack has been an exceptional partner for Lytx," said Eliot Feldstein, Lytx's Senior Vice President of Strategy and Corporate Development. "We feel a kinship with Mack because of its longstanding emphasis on safety and customer service, two values that are also paramount for us. We look forward to continuing to work with Mack to help our shared customers save lives, reduce claims costs, and provide outstanding service."
The Lytx DriveCam safety program combines video-based coaching with predictive analytics to help clients find the root cause of risks in their fleets and take action before collisions happen. Adding Lytx Video Services to the DriveCam® program can help fleets tap into on-demand continual video and optional live stream of the road in order to help them evaluate compliance with company procedures, verify service, and discover opportunities to generate additional revenue.

Just like our parents, teachers play a crucial role in our upbringing. It is justifiable to have a special day dedicated to the "best minds" in our life. Each country has different dates for celebrating teacher's day because each country honors their scholars who have contributed to the country.
However, the World Teachers' Day is celebrated on October 5th. In India, the teacher's day is celebrated on September 5 which is the birthday of Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan. He requested to celebrate his birthday as teacher's day and he was a great teacher to his students.
Teachers usually ask us to make promises to ourselves so that we can be better persons. They will definitely make us do it until we do. So this year you can gift a bunch of Asiatic Lilies to your teacher as a promise to him or her.
If you do not know let me tell you that lilies represent purity and promises. This can be one of the best teacher's day gifts. If you are planning to celebrate the day with your teacher you can order a cake along with a tall arrangement of roses before visiting his/her house. Try to arrange a small cake cutting ceremony with your classmates if you can.
Even though we respect our teachers not all teachers get a special space in our heart. For that special friendly teacher, you can order a bunch of carnations.
Carnations are the flowers that are used to express devotion and friendship to someone. The last one on this list of teacher's day gifts is a combo of pineapple cake and a bunch of red roses.
Red roses are for best wishes and the cake is for celebration. Let me remind you one last thing – do not forget to wish your teacher.

Food transportation is the black hole in the food supply chain. Regardless of all the preparation and care taken by farms, processors, distributors and other food handling operations, ignoring food-on-the move can lead to disastrous consequences when economically motivated or other adulteration issues impact food during transportation. Protecting your company from recalls and law suits is a critical issue that now includes transportation.
With the recent news of Sysco's use of dirty overheated sheds to store perishables (NBC's Investigative Report) and recently published FDA proposed Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) rules to help ensure the safety of imported foods, the need is obvious to establish an overall plan for controlling the safety and quality for foods in the transportation processes.
This session by expert speaker Dr. John M. Ryan is designed for any food industry supply chain players who rely on transportation delivery controls. Air Cargo, trucking, rail, freight forwarders and shippers are key players in the transportation of temperature and humidity controlled food goods and can benefit financially from offering value-added sensor technology to their service packages.
The session will cover strategies to provide sanitary real-time cold chain temperature tracking and traceability at the pallet and container levels – for both short (processing and distribution) and long haul transportation processes. The goal is to help the supply chain members avoid liability and identify opportunities for continuous improvement and to review some of today's technology that is capable of providing a systematic real-time anytime/anywhere approach to knowing the temperature of shipped goods and sanitary condition of the shipping containers.
Session Highlights:
Who should attend?

Dr. John Ryan holds a Ph.D. in research and statistical methods. He has been working on transportation food safety issues since 2011 after retiring from his position as the administrator for the Hawaii State Department of Agriculture's Quality Assurance Division where he headed up Hawaii's commodity inspection, food safety certification and measurement standards service groups. He has won awards for traceability technology for his visionary...

The Benefits: Buying a Business vs. Starting a Business from Scratch/
For some people, owning a business is a chance to:
Be their own boss
Have job security
Control their hours
Build equity
Often when people think of owning a business, they think of starting a business, from the ground up. Did you know that starting a business has a 50% chance of failing within the first 5 years, it will likely take twice as long, and cost twice as much as buying an existing business?
For that reason, purchasing an existing business provides excellent benefits, including:
Cheaper, faster and safer.
Immediate Cash Flow: You have profits from day one and access to immediate cash flow. A proven track record and existing cash flow make it easier to get financing for the acquisition.
Competition: You don't add to the competition for customers in your market.
Existing customers: You are purchasing an established customer base and goodwill.
Working systems: Operations are already in place including product, suppliers, employees, and computer and administrative systems.
Seller assistance: Training from the previous owner to ensure a successful transition.
Buying an existing business can often make more sense than starting a business. Contact Bridgepoint to see how we can help you find the right business.

Project 1: Common Data Elements
The Center for Data Science is developing systems and tools to support collaborative nursing research across academic and practice settings. Through this effort, researchers are working to identify and join datasets in a common data repository that will enable the School of Nursing – and eventually other academic institutions to bring the power of an increased sample size to bear on research questions of interest. The data repository will enable researchers to share and compare nursing research insights and evidence that could be used to prevent, diagnose, treat and evaluate the health of individuals, families, communities and populations.
Initial research focuses include:
- Cardiovascular
- Symptom Science/Neurocognition
- Oncology Patient-Reported Outcomes

(Southwest Florida) The city of Sarasota has declared March 25th to be Mary Ann Robinson Day in honor of the Sarasota resident's philanthropy and years of community service. A proclamation was presented by Commissioner Suzanne Atwell during a luncheon hosted by Designing Women Boutique.
There was standing-room only as a crowd of well-wishers gathered to honor and thank Mrs. Robinson, who is widely regarded as one of the area's most dedicated volunteers who has benefitted many charities and touched countless lives during her decades of community involvement. Originally from Madison, Wisconsin, Mrs. Robinson has been a Sarasota resident for more than 30 years.
The luncheon was hosted at Designing Women's new Art & Furniture Gallery in downtown Sarasota, with catering provided by Michael's on East. Ida Zito, board president of Designing Women, presented Mrs. Robinson with a tribute book filled with warm wishes and remembrances, many referencing her warm personality and her willingness to tackle unglamorous but necessary tasks throughout her years as a volunteer serving those in need.
Many leaders of those organizations that Mrs. Robinson has served were present at the luncheon, including representatives from the Asolo Repertory Theatre, Sarasota Ballet of Florida, Circus Sarasota, Westcoast Black Theatre Troupe, The Players Theatre, SPARCC, Goodwill Manasota, the Community Foundation of Sarasota County, The Gulf Coast Community Foundation and Circus Sarasota.
Mrs. Robinson is a founding member of Designing Women and currently serves as a board trustee and special advisor. Joining her at the event were Founder and current CEO Jean Weidner Goldstein, along with Co-Founders Diane Roskamp and Margaret Wise.

Week 13 is already here for fantasy football and owners are going to be looking for sleepers at the WR position.
The fantasy football season is rapidly coming to an end and many owners are facing a win or their season is over scenario. Even though the bye weeks are over, that doesn't mean there aren't some very good options for owners who are in a pinch. The Week 12 results are front and center, as always.
- Mike Williams: 0/0/0 – Miss, although he did get injured
- Danny Amendola: 1/15/0 – Miss
- Donte Moncrief: 1/16/0 – Miss
- Mike Wallace: 5/48/0 – Miss, barely
- Josh Doctson: 2/28/1 – Hit
- Kenny Golladay: 2/61/0 – Hit
- Corey Coleman: 3/64/0 – Hit
- Mohamed Sanu: 8/64/0, 51 yard TD pass – Hit
- Sammy Watkins: 4/82/1 – Hit
- Robby Anderson: 6/146/2 – Hit
This was another solid week as six receivers hit and only three of the bunch really hurt their owners. Mohamed Sanu might not have done things in a traditional manner, but fantasy points are the same no matter how they come. Corey Coleman also dropped a pass in the end zone that would have been a touchdown and would have seen the results take an even better turn. Week 13 is one of the biggest weeks of the year for fantasy and plenty of owners will look for similar results to last week. There are plenty of options to choose from.
10. Josh Gordon, Cleveland Browns
Ownership % – Yahoo 67%, ESPN 60%
There is no better spot to start this week than in Cleveland to discuss what kind of impact recently reinstated Josh Gordon will have this week. His ownership percentage says that he's not a traditional sleeper wide receiver. There is virtually no other player that would be this widely owned after missing almost a full two years of action. On the flip side, Gordon is just 26 years old and has shown that he has the ability to be one of the best receivers in football.
The matchup this week isn't great. The Los Angeles Chargers have solid playmakers across the defense and Casey Hayward is an excellent corner. There is a reason to believe that Corey Coleman would draw Hayward a little more than Gordon. After all, Coleman has been playing and practicing with the Browns a lot more than Gordon has. It would be unwise to expect Gordon to go crazy in this game. Coach Hue Jackson has already proclaimed his as a starter, so Cleveland must like what they see in practice. There just aren't enough clues to project what will happen with confidence. However, the Browns should be facing a negative game script as usual. Gordon catching five passes for around 50 yards is definitely a possibility.

Your Sleep is My Sleep By Dimitrije Medenica
So instead, I read it more like a tale of modern internet services, that we grow to become dependent on.
However, were it not that we "expect" a "crash-disaster" ending from the "neo-Faustian" set-up, theoretically a really smart client could modulate the service. The tricky part is it's not clear if *all* of the benefits fade, such as the re-growing hair.
