Inventory Updates
This guide will detail features that are common to most channel configurations for Inventory updates.
Table of Contents
- Price Change
- Max Listed
- Stock Percentage
- End When
Price Change
Price Change is designed to automate the process of updating the sales channel once a Linnworks stock item has had its listing price updated and saved. The Price Change feature (when enabled in your config channel) will pass updates regardless of the method used to change them (Scripts, automated and manual imports, manual changes and Direct Database updates), under the assumption that Price has a specific Source and SubSource value for that channel.
Please Note! For Price Change to function, Channel must be enabled. If Inventory Sync is disabled, Linnworks will still send the price to the channel.
Enabling Price Change
For demonstration purposes of describing how Price Change works, we will use eBay.
For Price Change to operate, the option must first be enabled for the required sales channel
- Go to Settings > Channel Integrations
- Click on the pencil icon to edit the required channel config
- Tick Price Change in the Inventory section to enable the option
- To update and close the config click the Save button at the bottom
- All subsequent channel-specific price changes will be automatically scheduled and submitted to the enabled channel
How Price Change works
Price Change is designed to work with the Channel specific price that is defined under the Listing Description tab for an Inventory Item. This guide will show how to access this tab and manually adjust an eBay channel price
- Go to Inventory > My Inventory
- Select the required Inventory item by clicking on the relevant product in the SKU column
- Select the Listing Descriptions Tab
- Edit the price for the appropriate eBay channel, e.g. EBAY0_UK change price from 18.50 to 17.50
- Click Save to apply the changes
- Linnworks will submit the change to the queue of updates to push to eBay
Price Change Statuses
|Status Icon
|Save Required: The price won't be submitted until you save the changes you have made to the stock item
|Pending: The price is waiting to be submitted, or Linnworks is waiting for the channel to confirm that the submission was successful
|Success: The channel has confirmed the price change was received successfully
|Error: An error caused the price sync to fail. For more information, check your Automation Logs
|No Change: The price has not changed, so no submission is required
Special Criteria
In general, all channels work in the same way for this functionality, but there are a few exceptions that are detailed below
Standard Format for most channels
A price for the required Source and Subsource combination must be added to the Listings Descriptions tab
- Source - The Channel name as displayed when hovering over the icon in the Channel Integration screen, for example, "GAME"
- Subsource - The that was used when setting up the channel in the first place and is displayed in the Name column in the Channel Integration screen, for example, "GAME1"
Special cases
Amazon Pricing allows both a normal price and a sale price to be submitted. There are two ways that a price can be submitted
- Main Price - supply the channel [Source] and [SubSource]
- Main Price and Sale Price - Supply additional Sale price with [Source] and [SubSource_SALE]
A Sale price cannot be submitted on its own
It is also possible to offer Amazon Business Prices. For more information, please see this guide.
Automatic eBay Price Change only works where the country-specific code has been added as part of the SubSource in the Listing Price
- e.g. EBAY0_UK or EBAY0_FR
- EBAY0 by itself will not work
When working with multiple languages, the price for the appropriate sub source must be modified, e.g. in the example shown France would be EBAY0_FR
For price change to function the Linnworks Extension must be installed on your Magento store
Price update will happen if the Price change is ticked and a relevant entry exists on the mapped Linnworks item with the relevant source and subsource. The price that is sent from Linnworks will only update the first price (From 1 to ...), if the item has more than one price set on Shopware, the other prices will remain as they are.
Walmart Pricing allows a normal price and promotional prices to be submitted. There are two ways that a price can be submitted
- Main Price - supply the channel [Source] and [SubSource]
- Main Price and Promotional Prices - Any promotional prices cannot be submitted on their own. Find more information on Rules and Guidelines for Walmart.
To add a Promotional Price to a stock item, please do the following:
- Search for the item in My Inventory and click the SKU to open the Product Details window
- Open Listing Descriptions and click Add New
- Add the following information into the pop-up window:
- Source: WALMART
- SubSource: The SubSource name as it appears in the Channel Integration screen
- Price: Your Reduce or Clearance price for the item
- Tag: This must be set to REDUCE/REDUCE_COMPARE or CLEARANCE or CLEARANCE_COMPARE. Leaving this TAG blank will offer this SKU at the main price
- Click Add to save
- These prices are not saved to the stock item until the Save button on the Product Details window is clicked
Remember, main price(s) must be added to your Linnworks stock items in order to promotional prices to work.
There are two prices that can be configured on a Woocommerce site; regular_price and sale_price. As part of a price change job, Linnworks will only update the regular_price. If a product has a sale_price defined on your Woocommerce store, the updated regular_price may not be displayed.
When manually changing prices as described in the example above (How Price Change works) these changes are submitted to the channel on an individual basis, so the actual update on the channel can potentially happen within 5 minutes dependant on how quickly the channel reacts to the submission
However, it would be more common to make price changes in bulk via Data Import and then have Linnworks.net submit these changes to the channel. In this case, some channels allow Linnworks to push all the updates in a single submission, but for others, it is a requirement to break the submission down into several batches. The table below provides a breakdown of the batch size and submission progress.
|Batch Size

View Logs
It is possible to keep a track on the progress of these submissions through our Automation Logs; this could be crucial if you have imported a large number of updates and would like to work out how far through Linnworks has reached. The logs also report any errors that were found during the price update
- Goto Settings > Automation Logs
- Select the required Job Category from the drop-down list, e.g. eBay
- Select the required Job Type of Price Change from the drop-down list
- An overview of the logs for the defined date range will be displayed
- Double click on the row to display a list of each execution for the specific Log
- This displays the start and end time of each execution along with the overall duration of the execution
- Clicking View Log will display a breakdown of the tasks completed during the execution similar to this
- If any errors occurred during the execution, an additional button is displayed to highlight and show how many errors were reported
- Clicking on the error(s) button will display more detail on the nature of the reported error similar to this
Max Listed
This specifies the maximum level that will be sent to the channel.
- The level published will never be higher even if there is more stock within Linnworks
- Example
- Max Listed Quantity = 10
- Linnworks Stock Level = 20
- Therefore ~ Listed Quantity = 10
- To use individual levels instead of a global value refer to the following guide on Stock Item Linking
Stock Percentage
This will send a percentage of the existing available stock level to the sales channel
- Works similarly as Max Listed but rather than a fixed number, you are stating a % of your total inventory.
- For example, if you have 10 in stock and set the percentage to 50, 5 will be sent to the channel.
- Please be aware that Linnworks will always round down.
- Example 1
- Default Max Listed Quantity = 0
- Linnworks available stock level = 12
- Default Max Listed Percentage = 60
- Therefore ~ Listed Quantity = 7 as 60% of 12 = 7.2
- Example 2
- Default Max Listed Quantity = 50
- Linnworks Available Stock level = 60
- Default Max Listed Percentage = 75
- Therefore ~ Listed Quantity = 45 as 75% of 60 = 45 (less than Max Listed Qty)
- Example 3
- Default Max Listed Quantity = 50
- Linnworks Available Stock level = 200
- Default Max Listed Percentage = 75
- Therefore ~ Listed Quantity = 50 as 75% of 200 = 150 (greater than Max Listed Quantity)
- To use individual levels instead of a global value refer to the following guide on Stock Item Linking
End When
This enables you to force the listing to end when the stock level gets to the specified amount as opposed to the default value of zero
- Eg. If you set this to 3 and only have 3 items left in stock then it would end the listing on Shopify.
- Helping to give you a stock buffer so that you don't run out or oversell
- Example
- Default End When Quantity = 5
- Linnworks Available Stock Level changes from 6 to 5 due to an order
- Therefore the listing on Shopify is ended early, leaving stock available for other sales channels
- End When works in conjunction with Max Listed Qty and Stock Percentage Qty if set up
- End When Qty must always be lower than Max Listed Qty
- If calculated Stock Percentage is lower than End When the listing will be ended
- To use individual levels instead of a global value refer to the following guide on Stock Item Linking

Because it's the moral thing to do.
Or so insists Nirmal Mulye, CEO of Nostrum Laboratories, which sells generic nitrofurantoin, an antibiotic used to treat bladder infections. Nitrofurantoin isn't a new drug on which Nostrum spent hundreds of millions of dollars on research and development: it's been around since 1953 and is now what is known as "off-patent," which means no drug company sells it exclusively and any company that can figure out how to make it can sell it. That's how it works with generic drugs.
So imagine the surprise of many people when Mulye raised the price of nitrofurantoin from $474.75 a bottle to $2392 a bottle.
So, Mulye, why did you nearly quintuple the price of a drug that had already been on the market for 14 years before your birth in 1967? He told the publication Financial Times that
I think it is a moral requirement to make money when you can . . . to sell the product for the highest price.
That's what he said: it's a "moral requirement."
The Financial Times also reported that
Mr Mulye compared his decision to increase the price to an art dealer that sells "a painting for half a billion dollars" and said he was in "this business to make money".
We have to make money when we can. The price of iPhones goes up, the price of cars goes up, hotel rooms are very expensive.
And that's that: a pharmaceutical company executive believes it's a moral requirement to impose stratospheric increases on the price of a drug that's been around for longer than most of us have been alive. He's direct: no rationale that the company invested millions to develop the drug, no justification that he's saving lives, no explanation that it's the only way his company can avoid going under. For him, it's simple: if there's an opportunity to gouge consumers, it's his moral responsibility to gouge consumers.
Yet another reason health care costs so damn much these days.

Review: Kiss of the Goblin Prince
Amanda is a widowed mother who has given up on finding love again. But when her sister-in-law marries Roan, Dai is thrust into her world. The attraction is instant, but both are wary. Amanda hasn't been with a man since her husband died seven years ago and her first priority has to be her severely asthmatic daughter. Dai isn't sure he even knows how to love or be loved. He's never been with a woman. Even before he was thrust into the Shadowland, he was a Roman slave --tortured not only physically, but also sexually and emotionally.
I really enjoyed watching the love story unfold between these two. While the attraction was immediate, the feelings and relationship developed more slowly and believably. Dai is the more dominant character in the story --and by that I mean, more of it is devoted to him. He's got a lot to work out. Not only with his past and his intimacy issues, but with his magic. He studied magic for centuries, as he tried to break the goblin curse and now he must figure out how this, too, will fit into his life. He is very damaged, but underneath, he is really a good man.
I liked this book a lot. It is the second in the Shadowlands series. Unfortunately, I did not read The Goblin King and I felt it in a big way. There were huge, huge gaps in Dai and Roan's backstory that must have been explained in the first installment. I was lost in the particulars of their curse --specifically, who cursed them? How does the goblin summoning thing work? In what circumstances could they come and go from the Shadowlands in the past? Stuff like that. The nagging questions distracted me from the good stuff on several occasions, which is a shame, because the romance part was right up my alley.
My only other beef was that the ending felt a little rushed. I waited the entire book for the payoff on the sexual tension between Dai and Amanda. I think another two or three pages would have gone a long way to leaving me satisfied.
Overall, I did like it. But I bet I would have liked it even more if I had read the first book.

Migrants labour in Libya to keep dream of Europe alive
Tripoli - Elias, a teenager from Benin, spends hour after hour under a bridge in Libya's capital waiting for menial day jobs that could inch him closer to a new life in Europe.
Whenever a car stops, Elias and dozens of other migrants dash towards it, ready to accept any job on offer.
In fluent English, he explains his simple plan: "I need to fight for my future. That's why I am here. And to get money. When I get enough money, I will go to Europe," said the 18-year-old, sporting a yellow T-shirt and brown cap.
"The sea is dangerous but, when I get an opportunity, I will go. When you cross the sea, sometimes you fail, sometimes you win. I have to prepare myself first," he said, stoically.
Like thousands of other migrants, he is labouring in Libya to scrape together enough cash to pay people traffickers for a perilous journey across the Mediterranean to hoped-for affluence and security of Europe.
The lucky ones are rescued and transferred onwards. Others perish at sea or are intercepted and returned to war-strewn Libya. Migrants detained by Libyan authorities are held at 16 centres across the country to await deportation. Around 7,000 people are in such facilities.
For the past three months since he reached Libya via Algeria, Elias has shared a small room with three other migrants for a monthly rent of around $110.
"When there's no work, I sit in my room and listen to the music I like. I like hip-hop and R&B. I like Chris Brown and Tupac," he said.
Elias also has a passion for football, which he watches on YouTube.
"I used to play football with my friends in Benin but I don't do that here. I miss playing football but I miss my friends more."
The young Beninese man says he left behind his parents, four brothers and two sisters because he could find no work to make a living.
In Tripoli, he can make $37 for a long day's work.
"Sometimes they pay me, sometimes they don't. It depends on the character," he said.
Amnesty International (AI), in a report released May 11th, highlighted the grim reality of migrant workers in Libya, where cruelty and abuse drive them to risk their lives in dangerous Mediterranean crossings.
"The ghastly conditions for migrants, coupled with spiralling lawlessness and armed conflicts raging within the country, make clear just how dangerous life in Libya is today," said Philip Luther, AI Middle East and North Africa director.
"With no legal avenues to escape and seek safety, they are forced to place their lives in the hands of smugglers who callously extort, abuse and attack them."
Elias was robbed of around $2,100 in savings when gunmen broke into his room and took cash and mobile phones.
"I am starting again from zero," he said. "In this country, life is not fair. This country is in war but I am here. Why? Because of money."
Elias remains optimistic nevertheless and has a clear vision of his future. "Maybe I will become a businessman one day. I want to get married one day also and have kids," he said.
Libya, with a coastline of 1,770 kilometres, has for years been a stepping stone for Africans seeking a better life in Europe, with most heading for Italy.
The situation deteriorated after the 2011 uprising that toppled Muammar Qaddafi, with people smugglers taking advantage of the chaos that has gripped Libya to boost their lucrative trade.
The United Nations says more than 110,000 migrants transited Libya in 2014 en route to Europe. Over the last 18 months, more than 5,000 have died trying to reach Europe's shores.

LEWISTON – Artpark, on a summer's eve, with a slight breeze blowing up from the gorge behind the stage and an audience pumped to see a couple bands rip their way through a batch of tunes, is a good place to be. That was certainly the case on Wednesday evening when O.A.R. (a.k.a. Of A Revolution) was the headliner and the support acts were nearly perfect in their roles.
O.A.R.'s reggae/ska inflected soundscape was in full effect and the audience welcomed them with a sea of waving hands and dancing feet. As the first notes of "About Mr. Brown" chimed through the air, streams of acolytes converged around the front of the stage.
Where once there was a relatively open space, bodies migrated en masse to fill the gap. These were the fans that didn't seem to care how much room was between them and their neighbors as long as they got to see the musicians up close and personal.
As for the rest of the fans, they made do.
Nearly everyone was on their feet, mouthing lyrics, dancing, striking air guitar poses, and, demonstrating the grip that O.A.R. has on their fan base, a grip that has been tightened in the 18 years they've been on the road and developing an audience.
If you didn't know the names of the tunes in the set list, you would have been out of luck but it seemed as if nearly every person in attendance knew what to expect from the opening chords of any particular tune. "Black Rock", "Love and Memories", "Night Shift", and "Shattered" all whipped by with nary an announcement of what was going to be played or what had been played. It was a show for the cognoscenti.
The horn section was solid, Richard On's guitar playing was tight and focused and lead singer/master-of-ceremonies Marc Roberge made sure that the fans knew they were appreciated.
Phillip Phillips was the other draw on the ticket. While he didn't have as deep a catalog as O.A.R., Phillips was banking on two albums worth of solid pop tunes, the recordings made possible by winning American Idol a few years back.
"Lead On" was the first song up and set the stage for a high-energy performance that would prove to be a near perfect setup for the headliners. Phillips' hits like "Get Up Get Down", "Gone, Gone, Gone" and "Home", the "coronation" song from his American Idol performances, generated plenty of heat from fans. His band was pretty solid, too.
The Saints of Valory weren't even listed on the bill of fare for the evening but this young Austin, Texas-based quartet made a few new fans by their appearance at ArtPark. They were polished, professional, and although there were moments where U2's sound crept into the mix, the possibilities for a place as a headliner wouldn't be that big a stretch if they keep progressing.

To me, treating people well means:
Making sure they feel comfortable, knowing what their expectations of the treatment are and explaining whether it's possible or not, giving them all of their options for treatment and having them choose based on their expectations and of course utilizing the most up to date evidence based medicine.
One thing people are surprised to learn about me:
I can pretty much fix anything from cars, things around the house, to any piece of electronics.

For me, October has always been the lead-up to the mad dash into the holiday season, kicking off with Halloween and charging forward from there. We have your holiday plans and processes for your business in place (I hope….) and are executing on them. There's ALWAYS room to gain a bit more insight into what you can do better (or stop doing, if that's the case..) when it comes to your digital marketing efforts. This set of "The Best Of…" articles is selected with those objectives in mind. Enjoy , along with some of that left-over candy you have lying about……
Sometimes you make a little mistake online, and your customers and audience "forgive" it….however there are some things that you should avoid at all costs. Here are twelve of them…..
Social Media Do's and Don'ts, Ensuring a Cohesive Team, and a Better You – Best of September
Autumn is Officially Here!
September brought more content about social media and website success, and how to keep up the continuous improvement process that is your business and your own professional growth!
Every single one of these mistakes is avoidable AND crucial to a vital social media presence for your business. Knowing WHAT NOT TO DO is just as important as knowing WHAT TO DO!
Social Media, Engagement and Talking to the Right People – Best of August
Well, summer's ALMOST a "wrap!" Being stuck inside for the "smoke-storm" here in the Seattle area this past month ("cough, cough…."), I got to spend a lot of time online gathering the best articles for you all. You will note they don't focus on a particular platform or service, but more so on social media overall, content, and how small businesses best grow engagement online.
The fact that you probably don't have full-time staff to manage your social and digital media marketing doesn't need to hamstring your effectiveness. Right-sized resources (especially time..) and the right kind of assistance can really help you get your efforts to pay off. This article hands you so top level tips to implement, and you don't even have to stay up all night!
Confronting All Those Challenges – Best of June
This month's top articles consider a number of challenging "How-To's". Overcoming challenges of content marketing, social media, strategy and your business website. Also considered are the opportunities hidden in business trends and becoming more productive by loosening up on your to-do lists.
Social media has been around long enough for there to have some settled challenges for businesses, regardless of size and scale. Read on to discover what they are, and some ideas on addressing them so you can be more successful in this central component of your digital marketing.
Social Media Blunders and Challenges, GDPR, and Just Keeping Up – Best of May
The month of May provided a bumper crop of great articles, and this is a concise digest of the best ones for your business! They touch on meeting the challenges of social media marketing, as well as the things to avoid, the impact that the GDPR might have on your business, and how to keep up with the constant changes and new information available almost every minute (without going nuts…).
It's just as important to learn and know what NOT to do as it is to pick up the best practices….in many cases these kinds of tips have been gained by, shall we say, "learning the hard way!" Take advantage of others' hard lessons and make the right moves.
No Free Lunch: Pay-To-Play is Here to Stay
We all learned very early on in this life that there is NO SUCH THING AS A FREE LUNCH!
In the context of digital marketing, that is made evident in that you must invest resources (time, effort, money, etc….) to get results. There never was a "build it and they will come" (what I call the Field of Dreams fallacy) for online marketing. Sure, it may have been a bit easier a number of years ago when there weren't so many companies and users online, all vying for attention. Certainly, on a platform like Facebook, things were somewhat more simple, or so they seemed. All you seemed to need was a lot of followers of your page and to post something every so often and it looked like you were successful (whether you were or not depended on how you defined success, but that's another story…).
This has changed significantly…and in ways that require a lot more consideration on your part as a small business owner and entrepreneur.
Surveys: Tell Me What You REALLY Think!
Surveys are notorious, from both sides of the subject…
As someone who gets at least a survey per week in my mail, I respond to very few of them. Sometimes it's because I'm just plain busy when I first see it, and it feels like a drag on my time (the DELETE key is so very tempting…). Other times it comes from a source I almost never hear from, so I wonder why (s)he wants me to give them input now, when I've gotten so little from them of value to date. However, when I do respond, it is usually to a person or organization from whom I've gotten some kind of value over time, it is tightly proscribed (that is, won't take longer than a couple of minutes to complete….), and concerns topics that I care about.
As a business owner and blogger, I take these motivations and concerns into account when creating surveys. During the month of November I ran a survey for those who subscribe to my newsletter and regularly read my blog. The single question was:
What are the topics you wish to learn more about to help you in your business?

TDR: Chapter 42
Easing the Badger
Perrin POV - Moiraine, Lan, Perrin, Loial and Faile ride through Illian. They pass through the Square of Tammaz and see the King's Palace and the Great Hall of the Council. Loial is very nervous about running into other Ogier. Ogier from Stedding Shangtai built much of Illian and still do work here. Loial mentions the Ways and Faile overhears. Moiraine and Lan sense something is wrong in the city and Perrin notes that many people look angry. They cross the Bridge of Flowers to the Perfumed Quarter, a particularly smelly part of town near the ocean docks, and arrive at an inn, Easing the Badger. The innkeeper, Nieda, knows Moiraine and greets her as Mistress Mari. Nieda asks if her pigeons have been arriving. Moiraine replies that she has been gone a while but she is sure Adine has received all the reports. Nieda's nephew, Bili, normally prevents fights but this winter she had to hire a singer to keep patrons from fighting. There is a new member of the Council of Nine, Lord Brend, who only arrived this winter. Both Nieda and Bili have dreamed of him on funny bridges in the air.1 Hearing of dreams, Moiraine is shaken. She asks about a ship to Tear. Nieda replies there are none. There is talk of war and the Council of Nine banned travel to Tear. Strangely, rumors have the army looking north to Murandy. Moiraine comments that she has something to do tonight and smells afraid.2 When they sit down to dinner, Loial reports that Nieda told him all the Ogier left during the winter. This is very strange as Ogier never leave work unfinished.3 As they eat dinner, Perrin smells a stink the same as Jarra and Remen. Six Gray Men attack Perrin, but Perrin, Lan, Moiraine and Faile kill them. Only Perrin sensed them. Moiraine just now realizes how important Perrin is. She goes out into the night after telling Lan to take Perrin to Tar Valon if she does not return.

Furniture plays a pretty big part in your life. Think about the bed you wake up in each morning to the sofa you lounge on at night.
Or maybe your Aunt Susan volunteered you to host Thanksgiving and you don't even own a dining room table?
Pull together some inspiration photos of some favorite spaces, and then note the commonalities.
Now you have a bunch of inspiration pics, and you're ready to go furniture shopping,
Lol, wrong.
The images you saved give you lots of great ideas to play around with, but you don't want to copy them exactly. Those photos show other people's spaces - not yours. You have your own personal aesthetic, and your home should reflect it.
Need a little help figuring out the types of furniture that fit your style? Take a look in
your closet. After all, interior design is fashion for the home, which makes furniture
the clothes.
Whenever and wherever you look - whether it's your local furniture store, a home furnishings catalog, an online furniture store or all of the above - keep a list on hand of exactly what you want to help you stay focused. Don't be tempted to replace what you've got just because of a great deal.
There are a lot of amazing pieces out there, including sofas, and it's easy to get distracted and make an expensive mistake. The age-old rule applies to furniture sales. The wrong furniture at the right price is still the wrong furniture.
Allow yourself ample time to furnish your home exactly the way you envisioned it.
Consider taking it one room at a time -
Better to slowly find furniture you truly love than quickly buy things you're only
Meh about.
Because you're not just buying furniture.
You're creating your home.

in the beginning
my first word
was "hallelujah"
which means
church baby, tongue
knows praise better
than his mama's name
then god said, let us make man in our image
& i look just like my daddy,
the handsome preacher
whose lies became gospel
after my father loses the church
my heart is no pipe organ
but it fills me with music,
leads a congregation of bones
into worship each time i rise
after eighteen years of communion sundays
if i consume anymore
of jesus's flesh & blood
i might regurgitate him
back to life
before rest, on the last day
all i want from death
is a swift benediction,
this body is just a church,
& life, a really long service
that our parents dragged us into
don't let them say, he was raised in church
tell them, he was the church
and it was good.
one day i'll make it
to heaven's gates
& they'll say,
poor soul
your eternity
is not here.
& i'll reply,
tell me something
i didn't know since
i was twelve
on that saturday afternoon
in Houston, when i finally
had my own room
& woke up
to find my family
the Lord made good
on his promise to usher
the righteous to paradise
& i am not among them.
i am everything
left behind.
the dinosaur
that missed the ark,
doomed to be consumed
by a flood of fire
& if my story must be told
in fossils, i hope someday
my bones can help someone
find god in themself.
but in a flash
my family returns home,
hands full of groceries.
& my mother says
my only sin is oversleeping
& the wages of sin
is to bring the remaining bags
inside the house & now i vanish
leaving nothing
FOR NYJEAH (a haiku)
we used to play tag.
now we don't even touch base
& time says, you're it.
Dave G is a Philadelphia-based spoken word poet, performer and entertainer. His poetry is the tumultuous product of baptist preaching, hip-hop culture and tireless introspection. He received his BA in English from the Pennsylvania State University—University Park, where he organized and performed at poetry shows that attracted hundreds of students and featured popular poets such as Olivia Gatwood, Andrea Gibson, Remi Kanazi and many more. He also assembled and earned a spot on Penn State's first nationally competing slam poetry team, which succeeded 68 collegiate teams to a co-championship at the 2017 College Unions Poetry Slam Invitational (CUPSI) in Chicago. His love of performance was born from watching his father preach every week at his family church in South Philadelphia; however, instead of pulpits and sermons, he uses stages and poetry to spread messages of social justice, political consciousness and self-love.

Away on Business: You've Got Mail
By Michael Conlon
CHICAGO (Reuters) – Some lucky passengers on three airlines, Singapore, Air Canada and Cathay Pacific, are already encountering the future — sending and receiving e-mail from the sky as they cruise to distant destinations.
Best of all, for the immediate future during the system's test phase, there's no charge, though that will change by year's end.
Air Canada offers the service on five Boeing 767s; Singapore began with e-mail on its Los Angeles-Tokyo-Singapore route and expects to have six or seven Boeing 777s and 747s equipped with it by November; and Cathay Pacific currently has one e-mail ready Airbus A330-300 in its fleet.
There are slight differences in the hardware being used by those airlines but the software for all three was developed by Seattle-based Tenzing Communications Inc. That company says it expects to see 50 to 75 commercial airliners from various carriers using its system by the end of 2001.
The e-mail involved here travels to and from the passenger's laptop via a phone connection at the seat. A server on board sends the data to its destination and receives returning data in periodic bursts.
As a result the passenger is not truly "on line" but the turn-around time for sending a message and getting a reply is not much different than on land, the company says, about 15 minutes at most.
Air Canada was the first in the air with the concept. The system it initially tested is tied to a land-based telephone network, meaning that it can be used only over land. But it will expand that reach to over water, having signed an agreement in June to put the Tenzing system in its entire fleet of 239 planes.
Singapore and Cathay Pacific already have employed satellites for relay, meaning they now have global coverage.
All three carriers are still in the test phase of this concept and have not been charging customers. James Boyd, a spokesman for Singapore, said that airline will start a "modest pricing plan" on October 1, but does not regard the system as a profit center. The other two airlines are also offering the service for free pending pricing decisions later this year.
Tenzing says it believes the charge will wind up being from $4.95 to $9.95 for 24 hours of use.
"It's a means for passengers to stay connected," Boyd said. "Passengers are happiest if we can create an environment where they can experience life on the aircraft the same way they do on the ground," he added, whether it's a business traveler or a tech-savvy senior keeping up with the grandchildren.
To use the system passengers must register and download appropriate software. Information on that can be found at http://www.tenzing.com. The company says more than 10,000 passengers have signed up so far to use e-mail on the three airlines that offer it.
Boyd says that passengers on Singapore, which operates a 71-city route covering 38 countries, can also sign up at boarding lounges in Los Angeles and Singapore or on board where attendants can provide a CD-ROM. The service is available on the carrier in tourist as well as business and first class.
Tenzing says Varig, Virgin Atlantic and Finnair will be offering e-mail with its system by the end of 2001 and SAS plans to try out a wireless in-cabin system that will not require individual telephone connections.
These developments are only the tip of a rapidly advancing information and entertainment revolution that will eventually wire all airline passengers.
American, Delta and United earlier this year formed a partnership with Boeing on a new broad band service that company is developing. It will eventually offer not only e-mail but Internet access, live TV and other services in flight.
The competing service, called Connexion by Boeing, expects to see its first installations in aircraft by the middle of 2002, Boeing and the three airlines have said.

Sweet summer can sting in more than a few ways. Sometimes with heatstroke, too much sun or inevitably when pesky little Mosquitos take prey on your baby-soft skin. Whether you've decided to take cover from the heat under a beachside umbrella, high upon a mountain, or even in your own backyard there are a few ways to keep your skin looking sultry all season long.
Skin Care
The thing most people don't understand about sun exposure is that it's cumulative. (We bet you haven't heard that word since you had to calculate your GPA). The idea here is that your skin has a history and that every second under the sun counts. The best way to take care of your skin is through premeditative efforts. It is important to hydrate – both by drinking water and applying moisturizers and oils post-bath. Now, when it comes to the sun, the general rule of thumb is to apply sunscreen 30 minutes before sun exposure (to allow for absorption) and to apply 30 minutes after sun exposure. Reapplication of sunscreen is key, so pay attention to the number associated with your SPF and be sure to apply liberally and frequently.
After Sun Exposure
Basking in your après sun glow? Just don't forget to take care of your skin after sun exposure. After 10 minutes of sun exposure, your skin is already technically "burning." So, if you've spent all day in the sun, you'll want to lather up with a cream designed to take care of your exposed skin. Our favorite choice from abroad: RoĆ Soleil-Protect. Or, if you're staying stateside this summer opt for the NARS Monoi Body Glow II – an ultra-hydrating beauty oil with natural bug repellant abilities (**according to user reviews).
Fight The Bite
Deet is the #1 way to fight mosquitos effectively, especially with cases of Zika or West Nile making their appearances. But with a laundry list of reasons NOT to use it (from health concerns to burning holes in clothes) we thought we'd offer up a few safer options to keep your itchiness under control. We came across these Citronella scented bracelets on our last trip to the Yucatan. While nothing will ever be 100%, we walked away unscathed save a few spots.
Once you've been hit, there are a few ways to ease the pain. While many believe in making an X over the bite with your fingernail to disperse the pain, other treatments may prove more fruitful. Items such as oatmeal, aloe vera, honey or baking soda can usually be found no matter where you are and can be used to make a paste to place on your bites – the natural anti-irritant, moisturizing or antibacterial properties of these will help soothe swelling and itch.
For even more inspiration be sure to check out these articles and stay tuned for the latest trends!

Show attendees got $6 discounted admission for showing up with canned goods for A Safe Haven, a multifaceted social service agency catering to Chicago's homeless. Volunteer Daniel Santiago came to the show directly from his overnight shift at the Mars Candy factory to help out.
"We have had actually a couple of people who just gave cans for no reason haven't asked for any tickets or anything like that also people giving money $20 here $40 there," Santiago said.
That spirit of giving is everywhere at the Chicago Auto Show as its annual food drive kicked off in earnest on Wednesday. Ten tons of foods a year have been collected.
"We have 200 to 250 people a week that rely on our food pantry in Chicago so it goes along way," said Neli Vazquez Rowland, CEO of A Safe Haven.
Indeed show-goers seem extra motivated to give back as they take in all the gleaming vehicles and imagine making a big purchase. In the middle sits a blood donor clinic.
"You never know you might be the one on the other hand, accident, you never know it's good to help out it could be you one day," donor Tim Tatum said.
"We are very lucky to be able to work with the auto show provide us with this wonderful space and the opportunity to engage with all these auto show fans," said Katie Freeman, of Heartland Blood Centers.
The blood and food drives carry on through the show's last day, February 18.
"The auto show is a reflection of us as the car dealers and this is what we do in our communities we are really involved, not only with the residents of the community but also the organizations," said John Hennessy, chairman emeritus of the Chicago Auto Show.

Clarkson says, "I was asked [by lawyers] how something that ended in me ejaculating could possibly be abuse," he recalls. You can do this simply by using touch more and more during your interactions. Chino Valley High School was ordered to pay the other 60 percent. She denied any sexual contact with Clarkson but entered an Alford plea, in which a defendant does not admit guilt but recognizes that prosecutors have enough evidence to convict her. Well, it is.

When we hear about examples in the news, we think, maybe the child misinterpreted it? But jurors and prosecutors don't have nearly the same outrage for abusive female teachers, Ring says: The immediacy that can be available from a text message or social media is making significant changes to all of our sex lives but certainly those of young professionals.

I can feel it, him needing me less. And it hurts a little bit.
He's only 10 months old, but every day, he is more and more independent. The way he mimics sounds and daydreams in a corner with his blocks. The way he is satisfied with a sippy cup of milk instead of me. The way he no longer needs to feel my warmth to stay asleep.
As he reaches out into the world, smiling at strangers and cooing at cats and dogs, I am overwhelmed with pride. I am consumed with love. But there is also a little part of me that wants him to stay small and needy.
It's almost the opposite of how I felt during his first weeks of life. I loved holding and feeding my newborn, but his need for me was sometimes stifling. I remember the first time I slept without him on my chest (weeks after he was born) and feeling like I could finally breathe.
But now, as his weaning begins, I know in my heart that what the lactation consultants said is true. It will be much harder on me than on him.
I find myself holding him a few moments longer than I used to after he falls asleep. I used to wait impatiently for his eyes to close, for his body to fall heavy. Now, as his little body relaxes into sleep, I find myself relaxing too, holding him closer and watching the peace wash over his face.
He feels bigger every day, and I suddenly feel the relentlessness of time. And how precious these moments are.

null City and INVISTA Canada renew naming rights agreement
June 5, 2019 -
The City of Kingston and INVISTA Canada officially renewed the naming rights agreement for the INVISTA Centre at a 3 p.m. signing ceremony. The City's four-pad arena at 1350 Gardiners Rd. will continue to sport the company's name for the next five years at a cost of $220,000.
"I'm delighted to sign a new agreement to extend the naming rights for the INVISTA Centre, in recognition of the continued partnership between the City and one of its most important local employers" says Mayor Bryan Paterson. "The INVISTA Centre has become a community fixture and is a fantastic facility where we can offer an array programming that everyone can enjoy!"
INVISTA Canada has held the naming rights on the building since it opened in 2008.
"INVISTA Kingston is pleased to renew the main naming rights for the INVISTA Centre with our partner, the City of Kingston," said INVISTA Kingston site manager, Dennis McAllister. "The INVISTA Centre represents for INVISTA a major investment in the youth of our community, and it also highlights our continued partnership with the City of Kingston. As a LEED gold certified facility, the INVISTA Centre is focused on using energy wisely by reducing waste, reducing its energy footprint and using resources efficiently - many of the same principles that INVISTA employs in its manufacturing operations in Kingston."
Built to enable residents to lead healthy, active, fun lives – and fostering healthy citizens remains a City priority – this popular fully accessible facility has:
- Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) gold certification – a green building rating that speaks to the building's energy-efficiency and other environmentally friendly features.
- Four 85' x 200' rinks
- Fitness & Wellness Centre
- PRO Shop
- Meeting rooms
- Four Level 2 Electric Vehicle charging stations

we will more than likely find ourselves overweight. When I watch documentaries on third world countries with food in short supply, I often wonder if these issues are so prevalent in those places. Somehow, I don't think food is thought of the same way in underdeveloped countries as it is here. That's a good thing in Garcinia Cambogia Free Trial many ways.
Some diets advocate a severe cut in carbohydrate. Carbohydrate is your body's first source of energy. When your body is depleted of carbohydrate, it turns to your protein (muscles) and body fat indiscriminately for energy. Now to make matters worse, because of the restricted carbohydrate consumed, there will be fewer carbohydrate calories to be used as energy calories and that again will signal the onset of starvation mode again. The vicious cycle of your body cannibalizing its own muscle is set in motion again. The same applies to people on slimming pills or salon fat loss programs.
Instead of three large meals, I reduced my portion sizes and ate several smaller meals at three to four hour intervals. Chips and cookies were replaced with nuts, fresh fruit, fresh vegetables, and yogurt.
It is obvious that it is not possible to lose weight only by following a scent diet. It is important to follow a proper diet and maintain an exercise regime to effectively pull down your weight. The scent of the above-mentioned items only just hasten and aid the process.
There are numerous people which have come across Acai within the last few years. It seems like there are plenty of people who have beenutilizing the products with much success. Perhaps you aren't certain if it will work or not. This is the reason the Acai diet pills free trial would be exactly what you were seeking but what if it is just a scam. Well let's go on and discuss this.
If you did not catch that mourning breakfast, you have to start on lunch and dinner. So now you spend the day looking for berries, nuts, eatable roots, and wild game. Water was a problem too, unless you have one of them caves with running water. (hehehe) Along with hunting for food and water, you had to be careful that you did not become food for the larger creatures roaming around.
Where To Buy?
Garcinia Cambogia Save Trial can be purchased from the official website.

Minis & Bits Bazaar on May 22
Our first Minis & Bits Bazaar is on its way! It's a great chance to sell off your unused games, books and bits and open up space for all new gaming passions.
Here's how it works:
1. Find some games you own but maybe don't play much any more. This day focuses on anything in the realm of tactical minis (so, no RPGs or board games). Bring in your bits to sell, armies you're done with, bags you want to upgrade from, etc.
2. Bring the things you want to sell to The Squirrel no later than Thursday, May 18. We'll ask for your contact information and the price you want to get for the items. If you want to get a head start, download the attached PDF and fill it out before you come in. Minis & Bits Bazaar sign up
3. Come to The Squirrel on Sunday, May 22. Everyone's items will be displayed and up for sale. The store will handle all the sales and at the end of the day you'll get the full sale price of your things that sold in store credit. If we have a selection of "extraordinary" finds, we'll hold a silent auction throughout the day with winners notified by 5 p.m.
4. Use your new found wealth of store credit at your convenience to pick up that new shiny object you've had your eyes on for a while.
This system proved to be successful at our board game swap in February!

Graduate students at IUPUI have access to several types of aid. The Office of Student Financial Services can help you understand your options, and plan for a successful financial future.
Individual departments and schools may have financial support available to graduate students in their programs. This support could be in the form of tuition remission, a fellowship that does not carry specific service requirements, or various types of support that requires the student to perform defined work, such as research assistantships and teaching assistantships. Some programs offer Graduate Assistantships (GA) where a student may be paid a stipend and possibly receive a tuition waiver for the semesters in which he/she is a GA. These GA positions are handled by the individual programs, not the Graduate Office. You may also find GA opportunities or hourly employment in IU Classifieds, GradGrants, JagJobs, and student affairs. Some schools also offer stipends/tuition support to students for teaching on campus (TA appointments). Contact your graduate program for details.

George Noory hosted a night of Open Lines, offering a special line for callers who wanted to share their 'unusual moments'. Margery in Sacramento recalled her first astral projection experience, which she explained was followed about a year later by an odd incident at a bookstore in Salt Lake City. According to Margery, a book on astral projection mysteriously fell from the top of a bookshelf and struck her on the head. Margery said she purchased the book, practiced the exercises within it, and was soon able to astral project at will. Unfortunately, the astral projection episodes eventually began to happen involuntarily, she added.
Diane from Hot Springs, Arkansas, told George about one of her dogs that had gotten wrapped around a tree and was choking. As she was attempting to free the dog, a unusual-looking man with a light complexion, blond hair, blue eyes, and wearing a black coat and black hat (like Abraham Lincoln) appeared, Diane revealed. At that moment, the dog's collar broke off and it took off, she noted. Bill in Prescott, Arizona, believes he has always been surrounded by angels and spirits, and recounted the time an angelic set of hands helped him deliver one his children.
Albert in Brooklyn shared some of his end times predictions, including a strong solar flare strike on May 13, the choosing of the holy remnant on April 17, followed shortly after by the first of the bowl judgments from Revelation, and then finally Armageddon on September 28. Michael from Tucson, Arizona, reported on a UFO sighting in the sky near Davis-Monthan Air Force Base. Michael said he even saw a news report on it, with a man speaking about being visited by extraterrestrials interested in our nuclear arms race.
The final half-hour featured a classic clip from a past Coast show, when Art Bell talked with a caller who claimed to be a pilot flying into Area 51. (Listen: Win | Real)
Ghost Hunting in Kansas
First hour guest, author Adam Catlin, spoke about his ghostly encounters and investigations of places in Kansas with alleged paranormal activity, some of which are presented in his book, From Among the Dead. Catlin said he grew up in a haunted house. Every night the attic door would creak open, and footsteps could be heard moving down the hallway and into the bedroom, he explained.
Catlin recalled other strange occurrences from his childhood, including witnessing a glowing object in a cemetery and confronting a shadowy figure next to his bed. He also shared details from an impromptu ghost hunt at a book signing, his paranormal investigation of St. John's College, and his exploration of an old schoolhouse, where one of his group was pushed to the ground by an unseen force. According to Catlin, photographs taken in the vicinity, just seconds after the event, show a male and female apparition.

text: J. Scott Rupp - July 07, 2011 A Special 1911 I have to admit I was worried. I'm pretty tight with a buck, and ponying up the money it takes to buy an Ed Brown 1911 for a model I'd only handled but never actually fired was a stretch for me. But over the years it's been my pleasure to chat with Ed at trade shows, and I was able to borrow an excellent rifle from his company for a once-in-a-lifetime trip to Tanzania for Cape buffalo. (Not buying that .375 H&H after the trip ranks as one of my great firearm blunders of all time, especially since Ed's now out of the rifle biz, and I regret it to this day.) Plus, of course, I'm well aware of his company's reputation as a top-flight gun builder.No, what worried me was that I'd get my usual case of buyer's remorse, the feeling that I'd foolishly spent too much money for something I didn't really need. But as my fellow Californians know, time is slipping away. 1911s don't lend themselves to the features the state requires in order for a new handgun to be on the "approved" list—particularly the magazine disconnect requirement. Therefore, it will soon be nearly impossible to purchase a new 1911 in this state. Time is running out on me as well, or at least as I look at 50 years old I feel that way. So I told myself, "Dammit, buy yourself a really good 1911 before it's too late," and for the reasons I mentioned previously—as well as thinking back on all the 1911 reviews I'd edited over the past several years at Guns & Ammo and now Handguns, along with what I'd learned from firing various 1911s at press events or those belonging to friends—I sent in my deposit for an Ed Brown California-approved Special Forces model. No sooner had I done that than I read Jim Tarr's review of the brand new Special Forces Grey in the August/September issue of Handguns—the same gun I'd ordered but with a gray Gen III finish. In his article, Tarr was slightly critical of Ed Brown's Chainlink pattern, saying it provided great lateral control but perhaps not as good vertical control as traditional checkering. Funny how seeds of doubt grow in direct proportion to cash outlay, and I worried that maybe I wouldn't be as happy with the gun as I'd hoped. Then I got the call from Turners gun shop that the pistol had arrived, and 10 days after filling out the paperwork, I rushed home with my prize. And the moment I pulled the pistol out of its soft case, I was pretty sure buyer's remorse was not going to be a problem.For one, the gun is just beautiful, from the matte black Gen III finish to the tasteful "Ed Brown" on the slide, to the gorgeous checkered wood grips. Every line on the gun perfectly executed. I belted on a holster and did a few draws and some dry-firing. Smooth—-no issues with the grip safety as I occasionally have with other 1911s. The ambi safety snicks on and off with precision, and the trigger…well, it's exquisite.The next day I headed to Angeles Range to start breaking it in. No accuracy test, no serious function firing, no drills. Just hang a target and shoot my new gun. It was awesome. Any reservations I had about the Chainlink were gone, and there wasn't a single "new-gun" malfunction.I think I did good. GET THE NEWSLETTER Join the List and Never Miss a Thing. Sign Me Up

I was the girl in elementary school who couldn't be seen without her planner, or "agenda book" as I used to call it. I wrote everything down inside of it including my class schedule, extracurricular activities, homework and to-do lists, and anything else in between.
Throughout middle school, high school, college, and graduate school, I maintained my use of a planner each year. It got to a certain point where if I didn't write it down in my planner, it didn't happen! I even looked forward to August every year, because it meant that I got to carefully pick out my new "assistant" for the year! (Seriously, planner shopping was my favorite thing ever.) I relied on it heavily to organize the chaos and complexity of my life's demands, and it simply worked for me.
And then….. I stumbled upon the "bullet journal".
I Googled "bullet journaling", looked it up on YouTube, and even perused the bullet journal hashtags on social media platforms. My mind was blown.
Initially, it was somewhat overwhelming to consider trying. But I decided to give it a go being that I wasn't in school at the time and didn't have much to lose, organization-wise. And I haven;t looked back ever since!
I am currently on my second bullet journal and I have no intentions of returning (solely) to planner life anytime soon.
What's so great about bullet journaling that I would want to ditch my beloved planner altogether? Some specific reasons why I prefer bullet journaling over planners include…
I can personalize my bullet journal to include exactly what I want.
Planners pre-design layouts for you, and typically include the same layout throughout the book. I recall getting "tired" of looking at the same layout everyday and craving something different, but I never wanted to purchase a new planner in the middle of the year and essentially be "wasting" half of it.
A bullet journal offers a solution to this problem: I can customize my layouts to be whatever I want them to be. If I want to have the same layout throughout the entire book, I can do that. If I want a different layout every single week, I can do that too.
Planners are typically limited to calendars and weekly layouts, while in my bullet journal I can insert anything I want to from my hair and skincare regimen, tracking my medical/health appointments, to tracking my meal planning and finances. I view a traditional planner as like a "one size fits all" underwear that is supposed to accommodate everyone…. Whereas the bullet journal is like a tailored, custom underwear that is super comfy and feels like it was made just for you. (LOL!)
I'm not attached to or stuck with the same planner for an entire year.
I get bored with things easily and I love to switch it up. Everyday life can be monotonous but your organizing tool doesn't have to be!
There are multiple online communities that join "Bujo-ers" together.
I'm a member of a number of Facebook groups and I follow a number of Pinterest boards, YouTube channels, and Instagram pages for constant #Bujo inspiration and ideas. We laugh and joke about the addictive, yet calming nature of owning and operating a bullet journal. Some people even participate in meet-ups, but I haven't gotten that far yet.
There are also planning groups, FYI.
Bullet Journaling results in an awesome, personal keepsake.
I almost always threw my planners away after filling them out. What is the purpose of keeping a compilation of old schedules and to-do lists? Bullet journaling is so much more than that.
Throughout my bullet journal, I include "memories" pages where I print pictures and insert into my journal them along with any other keepsakes like movie tickets, wristbands, receipts, etc. I also have quote pages for inspiration, and even track things that would be cool to look back on like the books I've read.
It's therapeutic, soothing, and relaxing to have a creative outlet that also happens to help me organize my life.
It's fun to put together something in the exact way that I want it, and be able to utilize it in a functional way that eases the chaos and stress of my life! It's also a creative outlet that isn't subject to anyone else's opinion — It's for you and you only to look at. Bullet journaling is definitely a process and a product.
So… Have I convinced you to give #BulletJournaling a try, or at least do some research of your own? Let me know in the comments!
Be well.♥
