Well, this is pretty pathetic.
Here is a rundown of my Argentinian Adventures.
This Argentinian Adventures started in Santiago, LAST year. One trip down here and I wanted to come back. I decided to go maggot style (ie. (almost) as cheap as possible).
Day 1: Agosto 28
Caddyshack on the plane:
Arrival in Santiago after an 11 hr flight. Air Canada had canceled the Tuesday night flight, but I hadn't seen the email. 😳 Anyhow, Wednesday was now the correct date. Traded emails with a couple of maggots. The decision was to head for Pucón, the famed Santa Rosa storm looked like it was going to happen. One maggot that was supposed to take the bus at the same time, jumped the gun and headed down earlier. Found out he arrived in a rain storm in town. He eventually skied on the lower lifts before I got there.
Okay, so my plane got late and hoped in a minivan taxi for the Alameda bus terminal. Last day bus was at 12:50pm, I was on it. The trip lasted 5 movies. I watched 2 on the bus (The Last King of Scotland and Troy) plus the 2 on the plane (Caddyshack and some Danish movie with subtitles). Not surprised that the nude scene and perhaps the weed smoking were cut from the movie, but the O'Henry in the pool gag? What is wrong with people?
SuperNat was the one that told me about Pucón a few years ago. She had skied there as an alternative after all the roads to the resorts close to Santiago had closed in 2005.
Arrived in Pucón at midnight, it was raining.
King of Scotland on the bus
Ride from the airport to the bus station. Sunny and clear blue sky in Santiago.
After 11 hours in a plane from Toronto to Santiago, I traveled 11 hours by bus to Pucón.

Day 2: Agosto 29
It rained all day. Maggots and I decided against skiing, the forecast for the next day was sunny. One of us found this great tour. Saw some waterfalls, rivers and rapids, a beautiful lake…a finish in the Natural Hot Spring. The visibility was bad, so we didn't really see any mountains.
A few bad things happened on this trip. I smashed my head while jumping into the van (nice red scratch) plus the one that is more serious. My money (most of it) disappeared while in the Hot Springs. At first I thought I had paid 40000 for breakfast instead of 4000 that morning, but once at the Hostal I noticed that I was missing even more. I had a 10000 CHP bill went I paid for the tour, that and my changed was gone at supper time. I have a few suspects, but not sure.
Needless to say, I was pissed. The maggots went out to check out the meat market while I stayed in the Hostal.
Pucón (Chile) tour in the rain
Day 3: Agosto 30
It's was suppose to get better. It was still raining, but the cloud cover was higher. You could actually see some mountains to the North. The maggots were warm in their beds when the Brazilian and myself decided to head up the mountain. I had asked at the office where they organized the transport, they mentioned that 3 lifts were opened. Instead of leaving at 10am, I had to organized my bus ticket out of town (office was closed the next day). Went up at 11am, snow level was at about 1000 meters. Visibility was bad, real bad. The only thing open was the lower lift which is mostly below treeline. We were warned that the lift might closed. We paid anyway (price was discounted). On the slow lift in the rain, the rain was getting harder. I'm thinking about Tony and what he is going to say about the ski quality and dog tail analogy (no, I wasn't 😉 ). Vert for that lift is 189 meters, pretty green terrain. There seems to be a few fun shots to try, however the visibility was so bad, we didn't try it for that run.
Once at the bottom, a sign at lift said…CERRADO…they closed due to wind. It wasn't really that windy, the chairs weren't even moving. Oh well, chalk one up on the TISA factor.
Once back in the town, the rain was only moderate, nothing what we had on the mountain. The maggots had left for the great Termas and the Brazilian changed his bus ticket to take the overnighter to Santiago.
I'm leaving the next day for San Martin de Los Andes in Argentina.
PS. Before Tony gets on me about the dog wagging thing, I recall him saying that he skied in the same type of conditions in NZ. The streak wasn't my only motivation, I wanted to ski on this hill before leaving + feed up of not going anything. The Brazilian didn't have a streak, he was tired of not skiing on his trip. He skied in rain in Bariloche and now in Pucón.
Enough for today, Internet is 3 peso/hour. :-s
Ski Pucón – 1 run in the rain then Cerrado.
Ski Pucón – didn't see much of it – apparently there is a volcano?
This is how Ski Pucón looks without the clouds and rain.
Not much skiing. One run before the lift was shutdown.
Pucón – bottom lift below treeline was only open for 1 run. (source: nevasport)

Online Drug Stores - Are These Advantages of Online Pharmacies?
The manifold benefits of Internet pharmacies have made them an instant favorite among customers. Less than a decade back, patients had to depend upon the traditional drugstores to get their prescriptions filled. The severely sick patients and the older lot had to depend on others to bring them the medicines. Those who could manage to go down to the nearby drugstore often ended up queuing in front of it. Patients then had to deal with an array of problems like, unavailability of drugs, insecurity with respect to their medical status and definitely the ever-increasing drug prices.
Such patients now have a much better alternative in the form of Internet pharmacies. Canadian Internet pharmacies have been a welcome relief for a majority of patients. They no longer have to go queue up in front of a drugstore nor do they need to purchase medicines in full public view. The ones who are dependent on others can even order their drugs without even moving out of their bed. All they need to do is to log in to an online pharmacy website and then look for the drug they want. Once their desired purchase is tracked, it can be ordered online right away.
Quality drugs at low prices, easy ordering process, confidentiality and a host of other services has made online pharmacies a welcome alternative to the community drugstores. With increase in Internet usage, the popularity of online Canada drug pharmacies will exceed unimaginable limits in times to come.

Even as President Donald Trump on Wednesday defended his decision to impose a hiring freeze on the federal government as a way to save taxpayer dollars, that move was being directly blamed by some military officials for a reduction in child care services at two Army bases, but a Pentagon spokesman said those service cuts may have been mistaken and unnecessary.
"This closure is a result of staff shortage due to the Federal Hiring Freeze," read a notice sent to military families at the U.S. Army Garrison in Wiesbaden, Germany, where officials scrapped part-day child care programs for kids, because of staff numbers.
"It is with deep regret that USAG Wisebaden CYS must take this action," wrote Col. Todd Fish, the Garrison Commander.
But the Associated Press reported Wednesday afternoon that Pentagon officials had sent out a memo on February 1 which said that child care workers were not to be impacted by the hiring freeze.
"We are working through the chain of command with these installations to ensure that they are taking advantage of the ability to seek exemptions," a Pentagon spokesman said about the freeze.
Democrats seized on such notices to criticize the impact of the hiring freeze on the military.
"The Hiring Freeze hurts the whole country," Rep. Don Beyer (D-VA) said on Twitter.
"President Trump should be embarrassed about the way his actions are impacting our men and women in uniform," said Rep. Adam Smith (D-WA), the top Democrat on the House Armed Services Committee, as he released the memo sent to families in Wiesbaden.
"That hiring freeze has hurt military readiness and it is now hurting military families by depriving them of the support they need to do their jobs. This has to stop," Smith said in a statement.
The hiring freeze was also publicly blamed by officials at Fort Knox in Kentucky, where a decision was made to stop taking any new kids in their child care facilities, as a memo sent to families said, "childcare at the Child Development Center (CDC) has been adversely affected."
"It is our hope that Hiring Freeze ends and we are able to bring new employees on board," the memo reads - it was signed by the Garrison Commander at Fort Knox, Col. Stephen K. Aiton.
While the President did not comment directly on this military child care matter, he defended the goal of the hiring freeze as he sat down at the White House with top aides on the budget.
"We've already imposed hiring freezes on non-essential government workers, and part of our commitment is to continue to do that for the American taxpayer," the President told reporters, as he vowed to rein in federal spending, while also bolstering defense.
As for the impact of the hiring freeze on the nation's armed services, the President's January 23 order specifically said it did not apply to the military.
"This order does not include or apply to military personnel," the executive order stated twice - and as the Pentagon said, exemptions are available to deal with civilian employees.

As stated by Murphy's law, "whatever can go wrong, will go wrong" — a statement that couldn't be truer in regard to property ownership. Whether you own a home or a business, it is always at risk of becoming damaged. Damages can be a result of another person's negligence, or something as simple as a storm, but what really matters is that when damages happen that your insurance provider fairly compensates you.
In South Florida, it is extremely common to see property damage as a result of tropical storms, but it is equally likely that property damage can occur as a result of a leaky pipe. Regardless of what causes property damage, it is important that you follow a few key pieces of advice when making a damages claim to your insurance company. Below, we have listed a few of the things that you can do to ensure that your claim is honored in the amount necessary to make proper repairs.
If you aren't interested or don't have time to file your claim, be sure to look up "claims adjuster Florida" or contact us at Supreme Public Adjusting right away for property damage claims assistance!
Step One: Notify Your Insurance Provider
Whether it is a commercial claim or a residential claim, it is imperative that you contact your insurance company right away after your property has sustained damages. Why is this so important? Well, to put it simply, the insurance company wants you to take your time — hoping that you take longer than the stated time in your contract so that they are not required to pay.
When you make your initial claim, be sure to list your name, policy number, address, claim type, and a description of the damages that have been sustained.
Step Two: Secure Your Property
After your home or business is damaged and you have submitted your claim, it can be hard to not begin making repairs. While it is natural to want to fix the damages right away, it is important that you do not before your claims have been awarded a settlement. Instead, it is important to secure the damages in a way that prevents further damages from occurring.
Some of the most common ways to secure a property that has been damaged include tarping off or boarding up the damage to ensure that water, wind, and animals are unable to get in. Before you secure the property, be sure to snap a couple of pictures in the case that your insurance provider visits the premises after it .
Step Three: Wait
Once you have submitted your property damage claim to your insurance provider and secure your property it is time to start playing the waiting game. If you do not hear back from your insurance provider for some time, you might want to get in touch with them to see where they are in the process of reviewing your claim.
Step Four: Skip Steps One Through Three And Contact Supreme Public Adjusting
If your South Florida home or business is damaged as a result of someone's negligence, a fire, storm, mold, or a plumbing issue, it is important that you get in touch with our talented public adjusters at Supreme Public Adjusting.
Our South Florida Public adjusters are well-versed in filing property damage claims and damages estimates — not to mention that they are fluent in "insurance," or whatever confusing verbiage that insurance companies try to throw at you.
So what are you waiting for? Contact us today at Supreme Public Adjusting by searching "claims adjuster Florida" on Google or by getting in touch with us today at our office.

It seems that Elemental Augment is getting bonus damage from holy for some reason or another, and I can't pinpoint exactly when this happened, but if my memory serves me correct (Which I am like 99% certain it is) this didn't used to apply a short while ago.
This is a bit of a problem when you consider that with elemental overtime and holy applying to regular on-hit effects as well, you can obtain ludicrous and I do mean completely ludicrous amounts of damage with dagger dance, over 200 to even 350 damage per elemental augment tick, easily leading up to 1000 damage per Basic Attack/Sub Attack.
To replicate simply hit a monster while equipped with elemental augment (Elemental over time optional) which is holy weak, a ghost or undead will work.

This happens because it's applied as coming from the weapon itself. It's not a bug, just how it works currently.

Things to do
Elephant safari - Much like coconuts and red rice, elephants have been synonymous with Kerala from time immemorial. Long been domesticated to carry royalty, ride into war, lead temple processions and haul timber, these gentle giants are one of a kind. Drive down to Persian Paradise safari site, where your ride awaits you.
Gavi Jeep Safari - A quaint lesser-known eco-tourism centre, Gavi is part of the Periyar Tiger Reserve. Lush green forests, misty treetops, marshy grasslands and a reservoir make for superb pictures a little over 40 kilometres away from Thekkady.
Kalaripayattu Performance - Martial arts like none other, 6 feet under. What makes Kerala unique is its penchant for keeping ancient art forms alive with numerous cultural centers.
Jungle Scout - Here's a night safari like none other. Walk through the jungle in the dead of a night, with nothing but torchlight to guide you past mighty elephants in tiger territory. Organized more as a conservation idea for protection of jungles through the night, this is probably the best way to get a first-hand experience of life in the wild.
Best time to visit September to March
For clearer skies, opt for a slot between the early September to the end of March. The beaches look their best early November through to March.
Mid-October and November does see a fair amount of rain with the North-West monsoons.
Sultry summers set in by April to the end of May with fairly high outdoor temperatures.
Monsoons arrive by the first week of June right through to the end of August. Cool temperatures with overcast skies and green all around make this a visit like none other.
How to reach
The nearest airport to Thekkady is Madurai Airport (IXM), which is located 157 kilometre away. Madurai airport is located in Madurai district in Tamil Nadu state of India. Madurai airport is connected major airports like Chennai and Coimbatore. You can take cab or bus from Madurai to reach Thekkady.
The nearest railhead is Kottayam, situated 109 kilometre away from Thekkady. Kottayam is well connected to other major destinations in Kerala. You can take cab/bus from outside of Kottayam railway station to Thekkady.
Thekkady is well-connected to other major destinations through government/State transport. You can take cab or bus from any major destination in Kerala to reach Thekkady.

Renovations continue
December 2016
Whilst there have been no boat movements in recent weeks, there has been no shortage of work on the boats, preparing them for next year which will be on us in no time.
To start with Wand'ring Bark there is a whole pile of work left over from last spring. Our few outings of 2016 revealed a major flaw in the redesign of the saloon. The key issue was the creation of the L shaped settee. This new settee offers loads more space but it became apparent that we both like to sit with our legs up and as it was me who was left uncomfortable, a further refinement was needed.
After a bit of thought I removed the old stereo cupboard (which was pretty well redundant) and replaced it with an oak table level with the seat. This seems to work well and an additional cushion has been ordered from Elite Furnishing. This configuration has the added benefit of making the settee into a nice long single bed, which increases our hospitality options.
Linked to the new settee I have also made a set of shelves to go on the other side of the cabin, under the gunnel. This proved to be a bit more challenging than I anticipated because it needs to support a laptop without projecting too far into the room. Lots of ideas were considered and in the end a section of the top was made to flip out, extending the flat space to about 32cm.
Shelf with flap
Another new feature of the galley is the inclusion of a 32 litre 12 volt freezer which sits under the settee. This unit has been in place for a year but has never been run due to and absence of wiring and also an insufficient supply of electricity.
Shelves fixed but without power socket
But this is all about to change. Last week I took the plunge and installed the power supply cables which reach back to the bus bar in the electrical cabinet. It just needs wiring in.
This links onto the power supply issue. Whilst the engine has always provided the power we need whist travelling, our prolonged stops will soon reveal its shortcomings. The only sensible answer is to go solar. After much research two 160 watt panels plus an MTTP controller were purchased from Midsumer. These big boys toys are currently cluttering up our store room, but will soon be fitted and plugged into yet another power cable which I ran alongside the one for the freezer. What the sun giveth, the freezer will certainly take away!
The next project is to create a tiltable cradle for the panels on the roof and the purchase of a new, larger battery bank - but thats for another day!

The Skincare Industry's Newest Wonder Ingredient
Caffeine is a well-known stimulant found in coffee, tea and in a variety of seeds, leaves, fruits and plants. We have used caffeine to boost our energy and keep us alert for centuries. More recently, we have discovered that when applied to the skin, caffeine works to tighten and energize skin – it promotes circulation and helps redistribute fat cells and decrease the formation of cellulite. It also acts as a vasoconstrictor, tightening and shrinking blood vessels, helping to eliminate varicose veins and reduce puffiness around the eyes.
If that's not impressive enough, scientists now believe that caffeine works at the cellular level to protect the skin from UV radiation and helps the skin eliminate damaged cells before they cause harm.
How It Works
When we expose our skin the sun, it reacts by turning brown, or 'tanning' – this is actually a defensive mechanism to protect our skin cells from further damage. When skin cells are damaged by UV radiation, they become stressed, rendering their defensive systems less effective. Repeated stress caused by UV radiation leads to cell damage and mutation which can result in skin cancer.
Caffeine protects the skin in a number of important ways. First, topically applied caffeine offers a different level of protection than sunscreen. Not to be confused with the kind of protection you get from a sunscreen – which only screens the skin from sun – the enzymes in caffeine actually absorbs UVB rays which reduces the production of damaged cells. That does not mean that products containing caffeine alone will protect you from the sun. When looking for caffeine based products for sun protection, select products that contain a broad spectrum UVA/UVB sunscreen and apply it according to manufacturer guidelines.
Next, the enzymes in caffeine actually target stressed and damaged cells that can lead to skin cancer – causing them to die while preserving the healthy cells. This unique and powerful function is the foundation of most of the new research and is the most exciting aspect of caffeine as a highly effective topical protective product.
Look for more groundbreaking research and products with a caffeine base – researchers, scientists, and those in the skincare industry are excited about the potential of this ingredient. The prevention of cell mutation from sun exposure is extraordinary and this amazing news has far reaching implications.

Each fabric can respond positively or negatively depending on the treatment administered.
Just right: That's how your clothes will look when you trust them to Kraft Professional Cleaners.

I'm thinking three things
It was a big day in the Johnson household. Yes, Emily got her first pair of pigtails this morning. All of her hair made it up into the rubberbands, and she went from looking like a baby to a toddler in about three seconds. She is getting so big!
I know I haven't blogged in awhile. School started and I don't feel like life really every calmed down from that. Life is good though. Looks like we will be out for Christmas. Dad got a new job and can't take the time off to come here like originally planned, but that is okay. We look forward to seeing not only our family, but friends too!
I've been thinking a lot about work, and staying at home with kids. I always thought that I would stay home with Emily and any more children we may be blessed with once Scott finishes up school. However, I really love my job. Before loving my job made it bearable to be away from Em all day, but now loving my job means so much more. I really do know that is where I am supposed to be, and my adult life at work as a professional makes me a better mom because it makes me whole. Does that make sense? Who knows. If anything else it takes away the looming doom that before hung over us being able to afford or not afford me staying home in the future. I guess I have found a peace with the situation that will allow me to trust that whatever God has planned... it will be fine.

Will you be my Valentine?
As someone who is awful at Valentines day, I thought I'd post a short spot about a man who kicks ass. Nice execution, simple idea and a great final product:
I do wonder how this guy was selected to be the person in the spot. The pre-lead up to this selection could have been pretty cool (ie. Tell us why you are brutal at being a Valentine and we will give you an experience that your partner will never forget). I have a feeling that they just cast someone quickly and went from there but maybe next year they could blow it out into a bigger thought.

MILK.XYZ International: Pomona Dream
Ribbs and Sandra Bang's first encounter was digital, and, as it happens, mostly accidental (a Soundcloud mixup brought the two together, so no, this isn't a case study on the effectiveness of Tinder). Nevertheless, it was an apparent match-made-in-heaven situation—when Ribbs and Bang finally met IRL, the music practically fell out of them, and they subsequently wrote, produced, and mastered five tracks in a mere four days.
Fast forward to 2017, and the creation of "Tropicana" proved equally spur-of-the-moment—a nostalgic trip down memory lane for Bang was all it took to bring the song to life (in one sitting, no less). And though the Swedish pair describes their sound as "Future Jazz Psycho Bop," here's betting it's reach will expand far beyond the boundaries of four small words ("Tropicana" is just one example of what's to come). Listen to the new single below, then keep scrolling for our full chat with Pomona Dream for this week's edition of MILK.XYZ International.
So "Tropicana" came out a few weeks ago—what has the reception been like so far?
Way better than we dared to hope for! Before we released it we didn't know what to expect. The song has a lot of different elements compared to our previous releases and has a sound that is different in every way compared to other music released in 2017, so it was kind of a gamble. But it totally worked out and we reached a wider audience with this one!
Totally, I think the fact that it's unique like you said is what makes people love it. What's the story behind the track?
Bangs: I was going through old photo albums at my parents' house when I stumbled across one that I hadn't noticed before. The photos were from a trip to Rio de Janeiro that my mom and grandmother made in the mid-80's. I found it so inspiring to see them in that environment together and right then and there I got the inspiration for the song. I started composing it and didn't stop until I was totally finished with it. I love this song and having my dad playing the flute on it is really personal to me.
So cool. And is "Tropicana" off of a new album, or what are you guys working on right now?
Right now we're working on more music we want to release this year! We're also working on a music video for "Tropicana" that will be out very soon! We are so excited about that one!
So I know you had a super interesting way of meeting—can you tell me about that mistake SoundCloud notification story? So cute.
Ribbs: I can't remember how, but I found Sandra on Soundcloud and started following her. I really loved the music she was composing and thought it was very original. After a couple of months I noticed that Sandra was credited on my Soundcloud page on all my tracks, it looked like I just had reposted them. So I took a screen shot and sent it to her jokingly saying she had a lot of explaining to do. Everything emerged from there. We kept in touch, sharing and discussing music. It all led up to a real life meeting at a venue in Gothenburg "Jazzhuset", and the day after that Pomona Dream was born. We made five tracks from scratch to master in the first four days. [Laughs]
Wow. How would you guys describe your sound? Like, what sets Pomona Dream apart from other people making pop music?
We always describe our music as Future Jazz Psycho Bop, for lack of a better term. It's always hard to label music in one word, especially when you're trying to create music inspired by so many different genres. Picking just one wouldn't justify the music. It shouldn't really be up to the artist to label the music because as an artist you're always trying to reinvent and develop your expression and labeling it is essentially doing the opposite.
Are you guys based full time in Sweden? What's the scene like out there?
Our take on the Swedish scene is that it has a lot of opportunities if you are willing to compromise and adapt to the current order of things. Since day one we've been on the look out for a place better suited for our music and the internet has really helped. The US in general and Los Angeles, in particular, has been very welcoming to our sound and vibe. KCRW described us as having a SoCal sound, and that really made us feel like we found a home.
What's it like breaking into a US market like SoCal? Or is that just irrelevant now with the internet connecting us all no matter where we actually are?
The internet has made geography less relevant for sure! But the scene is still very different in the US compared to Sweden. We really wish we could spend more time in the US and hopefully in the near future we will be able to.
What's next for you guys in terms of new music or other exciting news?
We have so much music in store and we're planning on releasing at least a couple of more singles this year! Also, we're planning on going back to LA this fall to connect with our friends and associates over there.

For your on-line store, you will need:
- An Internet Merchant Account (IMA)
- A payment processing gateway that processes and authorizes the on-line payments
The IMA is required so that you can accept credit card payments on-line. It IS NOT the same as a Retail Merchant Account. You cannot use a Retail Merchant Account for taking orders on the Internet. Arquan works with several Internet Merchant Account providers. You may also obtain an Internet Merchant Account from the bank of your choice. Please contact Arquan if you have questions or would like to know if Xonca can interface with a certain provider.
The gateway is required because that is what authorizes the payments real-time. It takes the payment information from the shopping cart software, contacts the card issuer's bank, receives the request answer, and hands the answer back to the Xonca shopping cart software.
Arquan prefers to work with partners that offer the IMA and gateway in a consolidated package. Please see our list of preferred providers below.
Authorize.net is a well-known gateway provider in the industry and offers Internet Merchant Accounts through the Secure Source program. It is a virtual Internet Merchant account provided by Wells Fargo Bank. All fees will be charged by Authorize.net.
To learn more about the Integrated Payment Service, pricing information, and to apply for an account, click here.
Cybersource is Arquan's preferred vendor for Internet Merchant Accounts plus gateway or for a gateway only package. Cybersouce offers the integrated Internet Merchant Account + gateway package. They are an industry leader in the area of on-line payment processing gateways, and have unparalleled security features for on-line payment processing. All fees will be charged by Cybersource.
Click here to see details and sign up for the Cybersource Internet Merchant Account + gateway package. It will take you about 10 minutes to complete the on-line application.
PayPal Website Payments Pro
PayPal has a new product offering that allows customers to pay with a credit card directly on your website, or using PayPal Express Checkout, pay quickly and securely with an existing PayPal account.
We are pleased to announce that we were part of the beta development team and have completed the integration and certification of this new Paypal product offering feature with Xonca.
To sign up, or learn more about using Paypal's Website Payments Pro with Xonca click here.
If you have questions regarding Internet merchant accounts, please contact us.
Arquan Comments
If you already have an Internet Merchant Account and just need the gateway, we can set you up with the Cybersouce gateway only package. Please contact us for more information and to obtain an application.
If you already have an Internet Merchant Account AND a gateway, and want to know if Xonca is compatible with your gateway provider, please contact us. We will happily provide a gateway interface, as long as the gateway provider offers adequate documentation and supports complex API calls. We currently offer gateway payment templates for:
- Authorize.net
- Cybersource
- Google Checkout
- PayPal Website Payments Pro

Feedback Sandwich
Learn how to raise constructive criticism with your team mates in a trusting and positive way
Diana Hennessy
Try this activity to help teams that are only ever saying nice things to each other and seem reluctant to raise concerns about each other. If they are always keeping the peace, they miss growth opportunities and issues may fester. Feedback Sandwich is a way to learn how to give and receive potentially critical feedback. It goes like this:
Team members sit in a circle and take turns receiving the feedback. The team member who's turn it is is not allowed to say anything until each person finishes their 3 points. Once finished, the person receiving the feedback can only say 'Thank You'. Each takes turns receiving the feedback until all team members have participated.
Several days before the retro, you send out the following information to team members so that they can prepare:
'Think about the below questions for each of your team mates and prepare an answer before the session:
What is something you really admire/respect about this person or something you think they do really well in a professional capacity?
What is something you think is a weakness for this person? (Perhaps something they don't do so well, need to work on etc.)
What is something you feel this person shows promise in, but could perhaps work on a little more to truly shine at it?
These questions are quite open in that you can draw on both technical and soft skills for each team member. So it might be that you choose to highlight a specific technical strength/weakness, or you might comment on someone's professional conduct, approachability, teaching skills, communication skills, etc.

How the Introduction of PIs Has Changed the Payments Landscap
With the transposition of the Payments Service Directive (PSD) has come a new category of payment service provider - the payment institution (PI). How will this affect the payments landscape?
The Payments Service Directive (PSD) came into effect in November 2009 and has three key aims: first, to establish a modern and comprehensive set of rules applicable to all payment services in the EU to make cross-border payments as easy, efficient and secure as 'national' payments within a Member State; second, the directive provides the necessary legal platform for the single euro payments area (SEPA); and third, the PSD aims to increase competition in payments by opening up the market to new non-bank players and creating a new category of 'payment service provider' (PSP) - the payment institution (PI). In doing so, the PSD aims to foster greater efficiency and reduce costs across the market.
It is the third aspect of the PSD - increasing competition through the introduction of PIs - that will continue to shake up the payments sector. In practice, the PSD means that payments services are no longer the exclusive preserve of banks and that PIs can now compete on an equal footing with banks. While enabling PIs to be in direct competition with banks, it also opens up a significant opportunity for collaboration between these new innovative and niche service providers and the established industry players.
Competition or Collaboration?
The introduction of new banks, such as Tesco Bank, Virgin Money and Metro Bank, and PIs are a direct result of the PSD, and a recent study by Deloitte UK found that 51% of consumers surveyed would be willing to move away from their current bank to the 'new banks'. With new entrants now aggressively competing for marketshare, established players are being forced to up their game and offer better and more innovative services to retain their customers. However, of the 70-plus PIs formed as a result of the PSD, very few of these are looking to directly compete with banks. Instead, the majority will want to capitalise on their 'niche' status by providing innovative solutions to banks and other established players within the existing market.
Co-operation between PIs and banks will come as no surprise to many. According to research carried out by Finextra in 2009, 34% of banks surveyed saw a "marginal or no competitive threat" from new PIs and 38% of banks surveyed viewed the introduction of new PIs as an "opportunity to form partnerships". Interestingly, the fact that some PIs are now competing head on with banks may in fact contribute to increased cooperation between the other PIs and banks as the latter look to offer more innovative services to retain their customers.
More PIs Equals More Innovation
The introduction of PIs has significantly increased innovation within the industry and this trend is set to continue. Delloitte found that about one-third of financial services professionals across the industry believed that most innovation in payments is created by non-bank PIs. There are a number of areas where PIs are looking to innovate, for example in mobile payment (m-payments) solutions, security and the provision of tailored services to small businesses. While these three areas are all very different, the common ground is a need for improved services that enhance those already on offer by established players.
Today, consumers are demanding a more convenient banking and payment experience and, in the same way that e-commerce revolutionised consumer behaviour in the 2000s, the mobile looks set to change the way in which we shop, bank and pay in this decade. Gartner estimates that there was a 54% rise in UK m-payments from 2009 to 2010 and Ovum predicts that this trend will continue with the value of goods bought using mobile devices set to more than double by 2014 in the UK. The growth of m-payments shows no signs of stopping and there is a significant demand for services that enable m-commerce by both consumers and across the payments industry as a whole. Because of the PSD, PIs are now able to meet this need and help the industry to roll out new m-commerce solutions. This will enable the rapid transformation of the payments landscape over the next few years to one where greater convenience is the order of the day and mobile-based transactions become mainstream.
Security is also a key area where PIs have and will continue to play a central role. To date, banks and card schemes have relied on passwords and log-ins when securing online or mobile transactions. However, passwords are cumbersome, time consuming and easily forgotten and there is a need for an alternative option. The PSD has enabled PIs to become full members of Visa and MasterCard in the EU. This means that PIs no longer require sponsorship by either Master Card or Visa, which often resulted in significant delays, and can now take innovations directly to market. One example of such an innovation is the introduction of voice biometrics to authorise online and mobile payments. Innovations such as this will move the industry beyond the current reliance on passwords and result in increased choice for the end customer.
Small businesses
Because retail banks have traditionally focused on servicing large corporations rather than small businesses, there is a gap in the market where PIs can add significant value. Small businesses are fundamental to economic recovery in the UK, however, since they are not a top priority for most banks, many small businesses have experienced significant problems getting access to credit over the last few years. Furthermore, the services offered by retail banks do not always account for their specific needs. With the introduction of the PSD, PIs now have the opportunity to develop services specifically tailored to small businesses, which will result in increased choice and a higher level of service for small businesses and, ultimately, benefit the economy as a whole.
2010 has seen a significant amount of changes across the payments industry. The introduction of PIs has set the ball rolling for the introduction of new and innovative services designed with consumers in mind and as more and more PIs enter the market, the rate of innovation will continue to escalate. While this will increase competition within payments, it is likely that the introduction of PIs will also result in greater collaboration between banks and service providers. One thing is for sure, the PSD will result in higher levels of service for customers through the introduction of new and innovative solutions tailored to their needs.

Most small businesses struggle with deciding which kind of marketing to opt for. The main reason: because their budget will only stretch to one or the other, hardly both. Which method of marketing will make the most noise? How do I know if my marketing is working? Who should I trust with my marketing? Should I do it myself? The answers may surprise you.
To make things easier, the use of print ads on newspapers and magazines is a simple example of traditional marketing. Other examples include flyers that are put in mailboxes, commercials both on TV and radio and billboards. On the other hand, when a business invests on building a website, advertising the brand name through different social media such as Facebook, Twitter and YouTube, this kind strategy is called digital marketing.
Benefits of Traditional Marketing
- You can easily reach your target local audience: For example, a radio ad might play in one location: your city or region. Or mailbox flyers will go to households in a select number of suburbs.
- The materials can be kept: The audience can have a hard copy of materials of which they can read or browse through over and over again.
- It's easy to understand: It can be easily understood by most people because they are already exposed to this kind of strategy.
Benefits of Digital Marketing
- You can target a local audience, but also an international one: You can modify a campaign to specific audience demographics, such as gender, location, age and interests. This means your campaign will be more effective.
- Your audience can choose how they want to receive your content: While one person likes to read a blog post, another person likes to watch a YouTube video. Traditional marketing doesn't give the audience a choice. Online people get the choice to opt in/out of communications, and often it is relevant because they were the ones searching for it in the first place. Don't underestimate the power of market segmentation and tailored marketing.
- Interaction with your audience is possible with the use of social media networks. Traditional marketing methods don't allow for audience interaction. You can encourage your prospects, clients and followers to take action, visit your website, read about your products and services, rate them buy them and provide feedback.
- Digital marketing is cost-efficient. Though some invest on paid ads online; however, the cost is still cheaper compared to traditional marketing.
- Data and results are easily recorded. With Google Analytics and the insights tools offered by most social media channels, you can check on your campaigns at any time. Unlike traditional marketing methods, you can see in real time what is or is not working for your business online and you can adapt very quickly to improve your results.
- Level playing field: Any business can compete with any competitor regardless of size with a solid digital marketing strategy. Traditionally a smaller retailer would struggle to match the finesse of the fixtures and fittings of its larger competitors. Online, a crisp well thought out site with a smooth customer journey and fantastic service is king – not size.
- Real time results: you don't have to wait weeks for a boost to your business like you would have to waiting for a fax or form to be returned. You can see the numbers of visitors to your site and its subscribers increase, peak trading times, conversion rates and much more at the touch of a button.
- Brand Development: A well maintained website with quality content targeting the needs and adding value to your target audience can provide significant value and lead generation opportunities. The same can be said for utilizing social media channels and personalized email marketing.
- Viral: how often do your sales flyers get passed around instantly by your customers and prospects? Online, using social media share buttons on your website, email and social media channels enables your message to be shared incredibly quickly.
So which kind of marketing is better?
Well, at ReTweaks we recommend both. Obviously, we are passionate about digital marketing, because we know that it works. But we do use traditional marketing materials, too.

Last month, Middle School teacher Matt Tully '02 launched a new effort in the Middle School to benefit kids – like his two year old niece Spencer – battling brain cancer. He got quite a response from students, faculty, and the entire Gilman community.
One year ago, doctors discovered a tumor about the size of a softball in the brain of Matt Tully's niece, Spencer Grace Tully, the daughter of Chris Tully '96. Although her initial surgery and chemotherapy treatments were largely successful in destroying the tumor, they recently learned that the cancer spread to her spine, and in the coming years she will receive chemotherapy and radiation treatments that will hopefully save her life.
As a tribute to his niece, Tully announced a book drive, called the Spencer Grace Collection, to benefit the John's Hopkins Children's Center, where Spencer is being treated. Tully called this, "a gesture that provides support for her father, my brother Chris Tully, a fellow Gilman graduate and member of your community, as his daughter prayerfully wins this battle."
Over the last month, Tully oversaw the collection of new and nearly new books that poured in as a response. Each morning, student council members received and sorted new donations that were dropped off by the boxful. The final total? An impressive 871 books. And, Tully says new donations are still coming in.
This week, members of the student council packed up a Gilman bus full of books and delivered them to the John's Hopkins Children's Center, where they were welcomed by librarian Phoebe Bacon. Bacon thanked the Gilman community for such a meaningful donation and one that will be genuinely enjoyed by the pediatric patients.
Upon returning to Gilman, Tully told the student volunteers, "I just want you to know that your actions today really mean something – to me, to my family, and I know this will make a difference in the lives of many kids at Hopkins Children's Center. Thank you for making this possible."

The Orion Cabal was an Orion cult of the mirror universe. In worship of their dread god Q, they engaged in crime, assassination, sacrifice and terrorism to spread chaos.
According to Orion legend, Q was a formless entity (referred to by the male 'he' or the neutral 'it'), hungry and chaotic, that once walked among the people of the mirror universe, and conquered many races. When he set out to conquer the Terrans, however, they found some secret weapon against him, perhaps an ally of god-like powers or an ancient magical incantation, and banished Q to a prison outside the known dimensions.
From this place, Q was only able to communicate with his chosen people, the Orions, and only through certain religious ceremonies. It was Q's command that they spread suffering, confusion and fear. The Cabal's ultimate goal was to free Q, so he could then lay waste to the known Galaxy, punish the Terrans, and finally alter the laws of physics to elevate his loyal servants into powerful beings like himself, and together they could rule the fractured reality.
The birth of an animalistic Orion was seen as a sign of Q's favour, as one of his children. However, they were held in no high regard – they were apparently abused, mistreated, and either trained as Orion slave girls by the Procurer's Guild or sacrificed to Q in one of the Cabal's rituals.
However, beyond the claims of the Cabal priests, Q were not otherwise known to exist in the mirror universe, or they hadn't revealed themselves to anyone else there.
Q was worshiped in ancient, obscene and bloody ceremonies, where Orion priests in robes and hoods assembled to sacrifice at least one of the animalistic Orions or a captured Terran, to feed him. The Cabal believed that Q could communicate with them only at these times, and for a few minutes, the luckiest of them could feel his evil presence and hear his orders. Some high-caste Orions would feel his power and gain incomprehensible abilities, becoming Assassins of Q.
Only around 10% of the Orion population fervently worshipped Q, and made up the core membership of the Orion Cabal, and were by large so insane as to be utterly fearless. A few Orion criminals were also peripherally involved in their illegal activities, but were not themselves members. Most other Orions however were uninvolved, though they did enjoy the fear that the Cabal struck in Terran hearts.
Not all members were Orions, however; other races could join. Terrans were actively prevented, while races closely allied with the Terran Empire, such as Andorians, Betazoids and Vulcans, found it nearly impossible to be initiated. In general, the more opposed a race was to the Empire, the more likely a member of that race was to be accepted.
The Cabal engaged in crime and terrorism for religious reasons, by the command of Q. Criminal activities ranged from unlicensed prostitution to theft and smuggling, kidnapping and sabotage, assassination, terrorism and Human sacrifice. Cabal priests had no objections to how their worshippers made their living, and even brokered their services, such as dealing with the Procurer's Guild and hiring out Assassins of Q. Even the Klingon intelligence agency Khak'ma hired instructors from the Orion Cabal to develop their covert operations.
The cult found good cover on lawless Rigel VII and on the frontiers of Tholian space. For the latter, one possibility was that Tholian space held a portal to another dimension where Q was already free; the Cabal and the Orion Syndicate of that universe may have begun talks.
- Through a Glass, Darkly presents four different concepts for mirror universe Tholians. In three, the Orion Cabal keeps hideouts on the Tholian frontier, one of which supposes a portal to the standard universe, as above.
The Orion Cabal has a particular hatred for Terrans, viewing them as the enemies of Q, banning them from membership and sacrificing those they can capture. However, it was possible for a Terran senator to hire the services of an Assassin of Q, using the Procurer's Guild as go-betweens.
In turn, the Terran Empire's Imperial Security viewed the Cabal as a major threat. They arrested and killed every member they could find, but usually killed three innocent or marginal Orions for every genuine high-ranking worshipper, and when desperate enough, detained every Orion present, though the percentage of Q-worshipping Orions was too low to make this strategy cost-effective for general use.
The Cabal was skilled at discovering undercover Imperial Security operatives, however, and dealt with them accordingly. When the opportunity allowed, the agent was captured, interrogated and eventually sacrificed, and if not, they were murdered and mutilated.

Do you have years of photos on your phone, and miss the days you could open an album?
Does creating your own photo book seem overwhelming to you? Now that Yom Tov has passed and we have a long stretch until Chanukah, it's the perfect time to tackle that project. Don't know where to start?
Follow these easy steps!
- Have your pictures all organized on the computer. This is key!
Create a folder for every year and then subfolders for every month. Periodically dump all your camera and phone pictures into the correct folders.
- Start by copying all the photos you'll be using into a new folder titled 'photobook'. (Use CTRL to help you easily select more than one picture at a time)
- If your photobook is of a single event or trip, then skip this step.
If, however, it's of 6 or 12 months worth of pictures then make a list of all the events so that you can easily keep track.
- Upload all your pictures to a photobook program.
There are loads of different ones depending on your budget (like Shutterfly or Snapfish), but most of them are pretty decent.
- Start by filling your pages with pictures.
Vary the layout and sizing to make it visually interesting. Match the coloring to the season/occasion. Or keep it simple and monochrome for a sleek, elegant look.
- Then add backgrounds, text and clipart to create fun, colorful pages.
Tweak your pages by rotating some pictures a bit and changing up the font to make it even more fun.
- Wait a day or two to go over it again with fresh eyes to make sure everything is in the right place and you didn't make any spelling mistakes.
- Now you're ready to order your photobook!

Like it or not, LinkedIn has, at least for me, become an important business tool. I use it for finding contacts, keeping track of friends and acquaintances as they change jobs and tracking down experts for stories. But it's also a pain in the butt. And it's about to get worse.
Aside from occasional spam from "entrepreneurs" trying to get me interested in their latest project, LinkedIn's insistence at telling me when it's a business contact's birthday or work anniversary is nothing short of annoying.
But, despite every web browser creating a feature to stop this, they are planning to introduce autoplay for videos. This is part of their plan to sell video ads. Becasue nothing is more likely to get me to buy something than an autoplay video.
I get that professional people, who LinkedIn is pitched at, share videos - we all need another inspirational TED Talk in our lives don't we? But do we really need them to start playing as we scroll through a feed?
LinkedIn needs someone who actually uses the network to be part of the process when it comes to adding new features.
And don't get me started on the ludicrous pricing model for premium. When $11 a month gets me all the movies or music I want, it's hard to see how $70 for extra features on a social network is reasonable.
