AMVAC Chemical Corporation, the leading manufacturer of granular corn soil insecticides in the U.S., is introducing a new concentrated formulation of its Aztec granular corn rootworm insecticide for 2016.
The company also announced a marketing relationship with Precision Planting that will allow growers to use AMVAC's SmartBox Closed Handling System to apply granular corn soil insecticides with Precision Planting's electric vDrive Insecticide meter. New SmartBox-capable Precision Planting systems are now available from Precision Planting dealers, as are SmartBox conversion kits for upgrading existing Precision Planting equipment.
The new Aztec HC formulation will allow growers to boost efficiency by treating twice as many acres with each fill compared to the Aztec 4.67G formulation. The HC formulation will be available for application through the SmartBox System, which has been updated for uniform distribution at the new low application rate.
"The Aztec HC formulation and the Precision Planting marketing relationship both underscore AMVAC's ongoing commitment to innovations that allow growers to improve efficiency and environmental stewardship, says Rick Rice, AMVAC director of application technology.
Rice also announced plans for 2016 field-testing of an innovative planter-mounted system to prescription-apply multiple granular products simultaneously. "We anticipate a 'soft' commercial launch of the new Simpas multi-product application technology with a few select farmers in 2017, says Rice.
Aztec HC details
By treating twice as many acres per fill than in the past, the new Aztec HC formulation will save growers time and improve efficiency by requiring fewer fills during the busy planting season. For example, a 24-row planter will be able to cover 736 acres between fills, says Rice. Growers, ag retailers and distributors also will have fewer containers to handle and return, which improves efficiency throughout the input supply system.
The price of the Aztec HC formulation will be the same on a per-acre basis as Aztec 4.67G. Aztec HC will be available only for application with SmartBox systems. Aztec 4.67G will be available for the SmartBox application systems and in bags for use with other granular applicators. Aztec 2.1G will available through the 2016 growing season and will then be discontinued. AMVAC's other corn soil insecticides, Counter and SmartChoice, will continue to be offered in their current formulations for SmartBox and Lock 'n' Load applicators.
SmartBox HC upgrade
New, upgraded SmartBox meters can be retrofitted to existing SmartBox systems. The upgraded meters include internal double-helix diffusers. The diffusers deliver the most uniform down-the-row distribution of Aztec HC's low application rate of 1.5 oz/1,000 row feet and improve distribution of higher rates of other formulations too, says Rice.
The new meters are standard on new 2016 SmartBox Systems. They also are available at a discounted price to upgrade existing systems. Installation and calibration are free when new meters are purchased during scheduled calibration service by an AMVAC field representative.
Precision Planting SmartBox options
"AMVAC and Precision Planting have recognized that we both have tools that customers want, says Rice. "Now farmers can realize the closed-system benefits of SmartBox, while utilizing the convenience of Precision Planting's in-cab monitor and insecticide meters. All the equipment that's needed to mate SmartBox containers with Precision-brand equipment can now be purchased directly from local Precision Planting dealers.
In 2016, the Precision Planting vDrive Insecticide meter will be compatible with the AZTEC 4.67 G formulation and all SmartBox-available corn soil insecticides Execpt Aztec HC. An updated vDrive Insecticide meter allowing use of Aztec HC is expected to be available from Precision Planting for the 2017 planting season.
SIMPAS multi-product application
AMVAC's next-generation multi-product granular application technology is called SIMPAS (Simultaneous Integrated Multi-Product Prescription Application System). As its name spells out, it simultaneously prescription-applies multiple granular crop inputs.
SIMPAS is a totally new design from the controller/monitor to its multi-product closed-system meters and containers. The initial versions will be able to apply three products per row. An iPad tablet with a user-friendly graphic user interface is the in-cab controller/monitor. All application commands will be transmitted wirelessly from the cab, so the traditional communication cabling has been eliminated; the only cable going to each row unit is a power cable.
RFID tags on product modules will relay product information automatically to the iPad and prompt a menu of appropriate application rates, eliminating cumbersome data entry. Product disappearance will be tracked wirelessly by the product and row. The number of acres that can be treated before the nearest-empty container runs out will be displayed on the iPad screen, as are alarms in the event of an application disruption.
SIMPAS technology is expected to be used in all row crops, including corn, soybeans and cotton, potatoes, sugar cane, peanuts and other crops planted with a row-crop planter. Initially, SIMPAS will be used to apply granular soil insecticides, fungicides, biologicals and nutritionals, says Rice. Subsequent versions will be able to simultaneously prescription-apply liquids as well as granules as controlled by the farmer's prescription application software.
Field-testing in 2016 will take place in the Corn Belt and other areas, says Rice. "We are excited about the opportunities for improving crop productivity with prescription applications of novel products and chemistries in the future, he says.

Flava-It Chinese Marinade packets which my son and I had happily emptied from packets into a airtight storage jar on the spice shelf whilst sorting out said pantry a week ago.
It's been a while since I'd used the Marinade last, and I had a vague memory that it used something like yoghurt to mix with the marinade powder to make the coating, but I wasn't sure. Another problem is that said son is currently on a dairy free diet for a couple of months, so yoghurt as a mixer was out of the question. So what to use instead? Water would be too thin, so I tried ALDI's Acti Leaf sweetened soya milk instead. Mixing a couple of tablespoons of the marinade powder into a cup of soya milk, and then poured into a plastic tray into which I popped the pork ribs to be marinaded, wrapped the whole tray in foil, put it in the fridge overnight, and forgot about it!
We had intended to have the ribs the following night, but we were sidetracked by some gorgeous smoked river cobbler and some chilli, ginger and lime mackerel, which soon became a rather delicious rice and fish dish. Meanwhile our ribs were still happily marinading in the fridge. Realising it was a use it or lose it moment tonight, I brought out the tray, removed the foil, not sure how the soya milk would have worked, and was astonished to find the ribs looked really well marinaded. The smell was good too, so I transferred them to a rack over a deep tray and into the oven they went, on Gas mark 6 for around 35 minutes, turned after 20 minutes so both sides cooked evenly.
I have to say that they were gorgeous when cooked. Leaving them to marinade for that bit longer really helped the flavour to infuse through all of the meat, and it proved that sweetened soya milk is a perfectly good substitute for yoghurt, or whatever it was I was supposed to have used!
Moral of the tale is: don't be afraid to experiment!

Oops! No instructions... how do I mix this marinade?
1 comment:
Having bought a new packet or marinade, I decided to note the instructions here, in case I lose them again!ReplyDelete
1. Cover the meat/veg evenly with the dry marinade
2. Leave for 10 minutes
3. Oven bake, BBQ, grill or stir fry
So much for the memory of mixing it with yoghurt! But our method of mixing it with soya milk and leaving it longer really did work extremely well!

At the risk of appearing to be harping on about winter conditions (see our last post) we've just read a report of another rescue from the high fells, this one on Helvellyn where Patterdale MRT were out until well into the night rescuing two walkers from Striding Edge.
Their post said:
The team were out from early afternoon until well into the night rescuing two walkers from high up on Striding Edge. More details later.
For the avoidance of any doubt, Helvellyn is in full winter conditions. You should check the LDNP fell top report before heading out. You will require ice axe, crampons, map and compass and the skills to use these.
Stay safe.
Roped up in the dark on Helvellyn (photo copyright Patterdale MRT)
You can find that fell top report they mention here and today's is worth quoting excerpts from. It says:
Exposed routes above the snowline such as Striding and Swirral Edges are now in winter condition, especially on and nearing their exits. Therefore they should only be attempted by those experienced in, and equipped for, winter mountaineering including an ability to assess the stability, or otherwise, of the snowpack.
It goes on to say:
Full winter clothing and equipment including torch, map, compass and the ability to navigate competently in snowy conditions, which obscures landmarks, are presently required to enjoy the Lakeland Fells. For those venturing above the snowline and attempting, or traversing, steep slopes an ice axe and crampons are also essential;
And that's the key message. There is lots of walking in the Lakes, even in the winter, and we've got lots of of ideas for you to explore on our walks page, but if you're thinking of going out on steep slopes above the snow line then please ensure you're properly equipped and have the necessary experience otherwise you could join the list of those the volunteers of the Lake District mountain rescue teams have to rescue every winter.

1. What does global citizenship mean to you?
Global citizenship means to me to think, to perceive and to act globally. It is not only to tolerate other cultures, traditions and realities, but to understand and live them. To empathise with other nations and cultures, have a sense for global challenges, threats as well as achievements and progress. Global citizenship means to me to live not in one city, country or region, but to see the whole world as one's homeland and be patriotic towards it.
2. In what ways are you a global citizen?
I was born in Samarkand, Uzbekistan, and moved with my family to Germany where I was raised. Later I returned to Tashkent, Uzbekistan, and now I'm living here and working for DVV International. I travel a lot, and not only for business. Once a year I go on a backpacker trip to learn about people, their cultures, mentality and perception of the world.

Product Description
Publication Date: November 04, 2005
Source: Harvard Business School
Explores the challenge of managing large-scale organizational change at Simmons, an old and established company that manufactures and distributes mattresses. The new CEO, Charlie Eitel, hired to turn the organization's performance around, considers whether to implement an untraditional training program that includes outdoor experiential team-building activities as a central element of his change strategy. Asks participants to consider the decision of investing in the expensive training program following the loss of the three largest customers--retailers that together had contributed a third of Simmons' revenues. One central theme is the role of leadership in engaging and motivating employees to implement changes that improve product quality and operational efficiency and cost.

Benefits of Initiating a Hospitalist PICC Program — Experience from an Academic Community Medical Center

Meeting: Hospital Medicine 2008, April 3-5, San Diego, Calif.
Abstract number: 106
Hospitalists play a key role in procedural training at many academic institutions and are frequently called on to assist with vascular access. PICCs have been shown to be safe and cost effective. Their use in hospitalized patients continues to increase, which can overburden interventional radiology (IR) services. Bedside placement with ultrasound can result in significant cost savings compared with IR. Because of these factors and the demand for hospitals to reduce costs and improve patient satisfaction, the hospitalist group was asked to develop a dedicated team for bedside PICC placement.
Reduce cost of PICC placement, decrease length of stay, and train residents in the use of ultrasound for vascular access.
In 2005 there were 488 PICCs requested and placed by IR. IR's inability to keep pace with the increasing demand resulted in increasing the length of stay (LOS). That, combined with the additional cost of the PICC placed in IR, exceeded the fixed payment for hospitalization, resulting in lost revenue for the hospital. A cost analysis showed bedside placement with an 85% success rate could have reduced costs by more than 60% ($365,000). In view of this data, it was decided to start a hospitalist PICC program. A PICC consultant firm in collaboration with IR trained and certified 2 members of the hospitalist group. A portable ultrasound was purchased ($21,000). A curriculum including hands‐on simulation was developed to train and certify the remaining hospitalist and residents. A formal evaluation to determine the appropriateness of a PICC was developed and implemented.
In the first 12 months there were 460 requests (6% decrease). Two hundred and twenty‐three (49%) were deemed inappropriate (64 [14%] had appropriate access, 159 [35%] PICC was not indicated). Of the 237 requests deemed appropriate (51%), 221 were placed at the bedside, with a success rate of 93.25%. Sixteen (6.75%) were sent to IR. The combination of beside placement and decreasing the number of PICCs being placed inappropriately translated to an 84% ($462,000) cost savings compared with all requested PICCs being placed by IR as in previous years. By providing 7‐day‐a‐week availability, there may be additional cost savings by reducing LOS. The hospitalist generated 468 RVUs and $38,277 (at 9 months). The program has provided the residents with a controlled nonemergent way to learn ultrasound‐guided vascular access. Resident feedback about the training has been uniformly positive. To date, 7 are certified and now use this skill in the ICU. Patient feedback about having the procedure done at bedside instead of in IR generally has been positive.

Getting into Road Racing "For Reals"
Over the last five weeks I've been getting into the swing of road racing. I've done plenty of Brooklyn alley cat type stuff, snuck in that one broken heel cross race last season, and sure GFNY is technically a race, but getting into officiated USAC licensed road-racing is a whole other thing.
It's been tricky learning my way through how the categories work, what races I'm allowed to ride in, how to get all my marshalling points so I can even partake in certain races, and luckily my friends at KruisCX have been answering a lot of questions.
The hardest bit of all: going from an out-til-4 person, to an up-at-4 person. These races mostly start at 6am or before, meaning if I want to get to Central Park or Prospect Park and warm up in time, I'm up at bloody 4am. Those out of state are an even bigger effort.
It's been a weird move, but Sleep Cycle has really helped me out there. Beyond that, cutting my drinking down to an almost non-existent level – until after the race(s) for the week - is the main bit.
This weeks "This Week in Bikes" goes over some of my learnings from the first three races. Got some more video-based stuff to float for next week.
There's also a video of me grinding some garbage bike off of my fence. I've gotta admit, that was a lot of fun. Warmed my legs up a spot though. 😅

Speeches sourced from the Labour party's online archive More…
Mary Creagh MP, Labour's Shadow Environment Secretary, wrote to Conservative and Lib Dem MPs with woodlands in their constituencies calling on them to reject plans to sell off England's forests. In the letter she said:
"Our public forests and woodlands are a precious part of our national heritage. In recent weeks there has been huge public concern about the Government's proposals to sell off England's forests.
"These fears have not been allayed by the Government's recent consultation paper which has failed to provide reassurances about the scale of the sell-off or protections for public access. The Public Bodies Bill is already making its way through Parliament. It will pave the way for the complete sell-off of the English Forestry Estate.
"The wholesale sell off of England's forests now proposed by your government was not mentioned in either your general election manifesto, or the Coalition Agreement. There is no political mandate for such a sale."
You can join our campaign to tell this Government that this land is our land here >>

From Cesar Garcia, Parks and Recreation Superintendent
Recently, our CAMP BRAVERY students enjoyed a creative activity with the Let Me Build A Home of My Own Program. This program is a clay art therapy project with an emphasis on interpersonal skills development. Each participant learns to work with clay, and learns to build his/her small clay home that was glazed and kiln-fired. The instructor asked questions about students' lives, dreams, hopes, fears, and future goals, in an effort to engage them in conscious planning of their lives. The answers and engagement helped them build relationship skills, start actively thinking about their futures, and begin more purposeful thinking about their own lives. Through these interactions, each participant was encouraged not only to build their own family, but also to create a home where their new family would live: representing their future lives, goals, and aspirations. The Let Me Build A Home of My Own Program was innovative and provided a great opportunity for students to share their life stories in a safe, non-judgmental space. It also helped our youth build relationships with others, develop planning skills, set goals and discus actions necessary to achieve them.

NEW MOON - Monday 15th October 2012
Do not feel satisfied because you attain meditative absorption, nor because you can dwell in the bliss of solitude.
Only when you arrive at the complete eradication of all ignorance and conceit should you be content.
Dhammapada v. 271-72
Reading or hearing such profound teaching might give rise to a sense of urgency in practice - or it might cause us to give up because we feel we can't do it. How we engage ideals determines whether we are strengthened or weakened by them. The ideals themselves are not responsible. It matters that our ideals accord with Truth, but it also matters that we don't mistake an image of the goal for the goal itself. The Buddha wanted us to aim high; as high as can be and then further, but he didn't want us to grasp the ideal and ignore our lowliness. The image of the goal offers direction, like a compass - and of course, we don't spend all our time looking at the compass. So long as we are heading in the right direction, we practise with 'this', which is directly in front of us.

Facebook Client Generation– more beneficial than you think?
Oh I know, you may not like Facebook and you may well not use it personally…
Maybe you don't think the people you want as clients are on Facebook?
Thing is, you are absolutely right!
It's true….
Facebook is full of people you don't want as clients and you're not alone in disliking Facebook and all this social media hype and nonsense.
The fact is though, the only real criteria for measuring lead generation is whether it is profitable.
You can hate social media and profit from it at the same time, just like you don't have to play golf to generate leads from the local golf club magazine.
The real trick is missing out all the masses and only targeting the wealthy business owners…
Did you know you can upload your client email list from excel into Facebook? Yes, then you can show adverts only to those people who are using that email as the login for their Facebook. (Your clients)
If you are feeling really flash why not get your administrator to use the Facebook similar audience feature which finds a whole bunch of people who are just like your clients.
Oh, you can do exactly the same on Twitter too.

Ari Fleischer: He is a real BlackBerry Fan
Former White House Press Secretary, Ari Fleischer was interviewed in the latest edition of BlackBerry Connection where he was asked "How important was your BlackBerry device to your work in the White House?"
"My BlackBerry was essential to my job. There were countless occasions, but one that sticks out was when I was in a summit meeting with President Bush and the Israeli Prime Minister, Ariel Sharon. During the meeting I was alerted by my BlackBerry that a suicide bomber had struck in Israel. The press were waiting for us outside, and they were going to ask for a reaction and it fell on me to prepare the President and the Prime Minister. Without my BlackBerry we wouldn't have known, and we wouldn't have been ready. It just shows how the BlackBerry can help keep you on top of the absolute latest developments."
Even though Ari has moved into the private sector heading up his own firm, he still finds that BlackBerry just as important as when he was at the White House.
"I've been in board meetings where a spirited debate is going on, and sometimes Ill send emails back and forth to try and influence it, right as its happening…. You could call it the high-tech version of passing notes back and forth in class."
More Free BlackBerry Ringtones
It looks like TUNEUSIN.com, a free BlackBerry Ringtone site that we discovered a few weeks ago, has added many, many, more free BlackBerry Ringtones to their collection.
The cast of "Who Wants To Be A Superhero?" uses Blackberrys
Have you ever wondered what kind of devices Superheroes use to communicate with each other? Well, in the Marvel Comics universe at least, they use none other than the BlackBerry.
BlackBerry Forums Super Moderator d_fisher shot me a note telling me that all the contestants on comic book legend, Stan Lee's, new reality show, "Who Wants To Be A Superhero?" use BlackBerrys to communicate with him on the show.
d_fisher says that he cannot wait to get a BlackBerry like the ones used on the show that have full video capability. I am curious to know if the superheroes are using a new model BlackBerry, or, if there is a new video player on the horizon.
Time will definitely tell.

Microsoft is taking share from BlackBerry… So the say
"Microsoft: Windows Mobile taking share from BlackBerry" is the headline that just came in my newsreader. This is often the type of headline that gives technology bloggers, myself included, that sense that Microsoft is about to take someone out, however, when you really think about it, when does Microsoft ever not try to take someone out.
If you read this incredibly short news article, all it really says is that Windows Mobile is gaining marketshare on BlackBerry. It doesn't give you any specifics though. I would agree that Windows Mobile is probably gaining marketshare, however, I would argue that it is being gained in an area that wasn't truly dominated by Research in Motion in the first place. The consumer market.

Introducing the BlackBerry 8700b (The b stands for Bling)
With all the rumors out about new BlackBerry models coming out with joysticks, built-in digital cameras, and removable memory slots, this little gem of a device almost got passed us.
Here is a shot of big time Hip-Hop artist and producer Pharrell sneaking us a peak of the upcoming, 18-karat gold plated, if you're a true baller you've got to have one, BlackBerry 8700b. (The b stands for Bling)
This BlackBerry doesn't have a camera, but, chances are if you are carrying this bad boy around with you there are always some paparazzi near by that would be more than happy to take a quick picture for you.

For those of you who take RIMarkable waaaay too seriously, there is not really a BlackBerry 8700b, however, the BlackBerry 8700 that Pharrell is holding really is 18-karat gold…
Not a single BlackBerry in the top 5
I just read a PC World Survey of the top 5 PDA Phones in their September 2006 issue and, believe it or not, not a single BlackBerry made the list. Unfortunately, I could not find the guidelines by which PC World tests and evaluates PDA Phones, however, I would have to imagine that a significant amount of value is placed on a built-in digital camera as all the devices that made list have one.
I am really having a heard time believing that the SideKick 3 came in at number two.

Google Maps now has live traffic information
Google Maps, which is already on my list of 5 must have free BlackBerry downloads, has added a pretty cool new feature. Now you can get live, comprehensive traffic information in over thirty major U.S. metropolitan areas and partial information in an unspecified number of other areas.
The live traffic conditions feature is pretty easy to use. Just select your destination or pull up a map of your general area and select "show traffic" from the thumb menu. Traffic conditions are color coded. Red means congested, orange to yellow means slow, and green means clear.
Google Maps is a free BlackBerry download and can be download OTA (over-the-air) directly to your device from http://google.com/gmm.BB

Remember the RazrBerry?
Remember last Spring, rumors of a new BlackBerry Connect enabled device code named RazrBerry, supposedly from Motorola, acknowledged RIM co-CEO Jim Balsillie not to be the Motorola Q? I think his exact words were "Q and RazrBerry are not the same product". "There are some very core differences."
It seems like when the Motorola Q and the BlackBerry 8700 started picking up steam all talks about the RazrBerry seemed to die of. This is, in fact, the second time that I have written about what happened to the RazrBerry. I only bring it up because the BlackBerry Rumor Mill seems to be in full swing and the one of the top two guys over at Research in Motion kind of acknowledged its existence.
Has anyone heard anything?

How Do I Build a Stronger Relationship With My Partner? – Its Never too Early or Late to Seek Help!
As we head into the holiday season and our stress levels go up because of the demands of family members, meal preparation and gift giving, we need to honor our primary relationship with our significant other or partner. Couples often come to counseling discouraged about their relationship because they are constantly arguing. For example, Sophia feels that she cannot trust her partner even though in recent times he has not given her any reason to not trust him. Sophia says, "When I'm at work, I'm constantly wondering if he's texting an old girlfriend or having lunch with some other woman at work. I don't know how to get these thoughts out of my head." Max says, "I can't take this much longer. I don't know what to do to convince her that I'm not involved with anyone else. We used to both go out with other people before we moved in together. But we have been committed to each other for the last 8 months. I go to work, come home and it is all about us."
In understanding how to help couples strengthen their relationships, Ira Byock's book, The Four Things that Matter Most, seems to distill the basic needs of any relationship into a set of manageable expressions. Byock states that the four expressions that matter most in a loving relationship are I thank you, I ask you to forgive me, I forgive you, and I love you. These expressions are also all "I" statements, which is helpful in developing non-judgmental communication. For example, if I say "You make me feel like you don't care about me." The other person might become defensive and respond, "No, I don't." (The other person does not make you feel a certain way, you feel that way.) If you say, "When you don't respond to me when I walk in the door at night, that makes me feel like you don't care about me." The other person does not necessarily feel attacked because you state what the behavior is and then how that behavior makes you feel. A person can change their behavior, and might then respond, "I'm sorry, that's not my intention. I've usually just walked in the door a few minutes before you, and I need time to decompress." Using "I" language in relationships is a valuable tool.
The first expression of the four things that matter most, I thank you, is usually the easiest to say to your partner. Most individuals can find some aspect of gratitude in a relationship. An example might be, thank you for sticking with me when I was so stressed out about losing my job or for being there every day to help me get out the door in the morning. Gratitude and appreciation of others is fairly clear to most people even if it is just for small acts of kindness. Appreciating others and thanking them for what they have done to support and help you is often an issue of frequency, not that you don't do it.
One of the most difficult concepts is forgiveness and Byock explains the difference between "to feel" forgiveness and "to give" forgiveness. He explains that forgiveness is like an actual debt. If someone owes you $100, you can be reminded every time you check your wallet that the person has not paid you back. On the other hand, you can forgive the loan and wipe it out of your mind relieving yourself of the negative reminder. By giving forgiveness, you are spared the negative emotions. By giving forgiveness the past no longer controls the present. The person "giving" forgiveness is the one that benefits the most. So why are we so hesitant to forgive others? Maybe we think that if we forgive once, the other person will take advantage of us. What are we afraid of when we won't give forgiveness? Why is it so difficult? Again, whenever we feel stuck or unable to change, we must try to understand the fear or the hurt that is keeping us from changing. The hard work to repair or strengthen our relationships is changing ourselves.
All of us unintentionally hurt and slight others, so the expression "forgive me" might seem unnecessary because we are blind to how we may have slighted someone. Individuals may transfer their past hurts and pain onto us because something about us reminds them of their past relationship/experience. By asking for forgiveness, a person acknowledges that they are human and cannot possibly understand another's perspective entirely, but they intend no ill will or malice. "Forgive me for whatever way I might have slighted or hurt you." Such a statement opens up a dialogue and a vulnerability that can lead to trust, and trust is one of the most important ingredients in a healthy relationship. If your partner says something to you, and you find yourself getting upset or angry, try to pause before you react if you can, and set aside the interaction to think about later. Contemplate what is missing for you, what do you need?
The final expression, I love you, is often an overused expression to the point that your partner does not feel it is genuine or heartfelt. Try to add why you love that person, or say it in a private setting not as a matter of course when saying goodbye on the phone.
So often in couples counseling one or the other partner feels unable to trust the other to be monogamous, loyal, honest or dependable. Thank you, forgive me, I forgive you and I love you are all statements that require vulnerability and in turn lead to trust. They are simple expressions, but can be difficult to say and genuinely feel. In any couple's relationship, if either partner feels unable to state one of these four expressions, it is an indication of a hurt or pain in themselves that they may not have acknowledged or addressed. If you have difficulty expressing these feelings to another, think about why you are stuck, and work to understand yourself so you can better communicate what you need to your partner. Relationships can improve if you understand what you need, and can communicate that clearly to your partner in a non-judgmental way.
If you feel stuck in some way in your relationship with your partner and unable to communicate your needs, feel free to contact us at 760 942-8663. Small changes can make big differences in your relationship.

"I don't know why we go here, the parking is terrible, the place isn't clean and the good movies are always sold out". Those were the words of a friend of mine on the state of his now least favourite Perth cinema. Cinema selection is usually based around movie start times instead of quality of facilities. This is all down to the last minute nature of how we choose what to see. While this does dictate the situation in most occasions other factors are important. Like many other public offerings the cinema owners of Perth need to be aware of what customers want. Standards need to be maintained otherwise the dollar paying public with exit in their droves.
What makes a number 1 cinema?
A number 1 cinema is well laid out, clean and parking is not difficult on a normal day. In addition the chairs and snack area should give the customer exactly what they want. Location can also make a difference but remember that out of the way locations don't really attract too many of the more disruptive cinema goers. Great cinemas should be abel to offer more than the standard experience and with more effort from owners a great cinema should offer services and products.
What got the others into the top ten?
Perth is not a mega city so frankly there are not a massive number of cinemas which did not make the list. The difference between a good cinema and a poor one is, like with most things, down to the facilities and fixtures. Good chairs and a good snack bar go a long way to creating the right atmosphere. Additionally ejecting trouble makers or noisy patrons is important. Cinema owners need to stay ahead of the game and refurbish and renew as old fixtures and facilities become stale. Additionally owners need to ensure that the standard requirements, like parking and up to date listing information is in the very least enough to keep customers coming through the doors.
Final thoughts
Inevitably the choice of cinema will mostly boil down to the times of the showings. On most occasions cinema runs are not planned out a long time before hand. For seasoned cinema goers this may not be the case, but for the rest of us this is the modus operandi. While the movie is the main deciding factor for enjoyment levels a small disturbance can throw a night into disarray. With this in mind cinema goers should think hard about where they go, finding a favourite and sticking with it is the best approach.

When was the last time you answered a phone call from a phone number you didn't recognize or opened an email from an unfamiliar sender? Like, never? Same here.
The sad truth about most modern marketing tactics is that they're too cheap and too easy. When anyone can do it, everyone will — which also explains the behaviors listed above. Ignoring all the ads and emails and calls that inundate the average B2B buyer is a coping mechanism, even if it means missing that one perfectly crafted subject line you so carefully created.
That's why direct mail should be part of your omnichannel engagement strategy — because it's analog and "new" again. Done right — precisely targeted, appropriately personalized, and immediately followed up upon — direct mail can help you cut through the digital clutter, gain an invaluable moment of attention, and move more prospects closer to conversion.
It's not a silver bullet, so you shouldn't substitute direct mail for any other single tactic in your bag or use it indiscriminately, or you'll just ruin the party for everyone else and we'll end up with response rates for direct mail in the same low single digits we currently see for email.
Think of direct mail as a complement to everything else you do, another tool that can help you throughout the customer journey — to secure more meetings, drive increased event attendance, revive dormant opportunities, and shorten the sales cycle.

Lessons Learned About Lawsuits
Procedure to Follow When Selecting Personal Injury Lawyers
People undergo different pain which is inflicted by other people resulting in a lot of financial expenses in treatment. Some of the pain may be as a result of negligence from the medical fraternity while in some cases it may be as a result of accidents. When the state violates the right of its citizens, it can also be sued. People that are undergoing the pains may seek justice from the courts by engaging the services of the lawyers. Personal injury lawyers are registered with different law firms so people should research and identify suitable ones. People can use the following guidelines when choosing personal injury lawyers.
When hiring personal injury lawyers, it is vital to find out their areas as of specialization. Specialized lawyers will be more ideal for hire since they understand the case better, unlike general practitioners. Before hiring personal injury lawyers, people should find out if the personal injury lawyers have the credentials and training from recognized law schools. One should also check on the experience of the personal injury lawyers before hiring their services. It is important to hire personal injury lawyers that have served different clients in the past. Before hiring the lawyers, one should inquire on the period that they have been engaged in the services. Personal injury lawyers with more years in the field will be suitable for hire.
The reputation of the personal injury lawyers should not be put into question. People can inquire from their friends that might have hired the services in the past on their experiences with the lawyers. People can also read the comments that have been made on the law firms and the lawyers' review column before making a hiring decision. Since some lawyers will not disclose to their clients if they are facing disciplinary actions, it is important to check their names on the state bar listings.
People should be guaranteed of better legal services so they should find out if the lawyers are licensed . When people engage licensed lawyers, they are able to track them in case of any problems and avoid getting conned by fake lawyers. It is crucial to engage personal injury lawyers that are reliable. The clients may need to engage the lawyers at different times so they should be readily available. One should check on the communication skill of the personal injury lawyers they intend to hire. People should also confirm the charges that the lawyers charge for their services. It is crucial for the parties involved to agree on the terms of payment since some lawyers charge their services on an hourly basis, and some will charge ion flat fee and contingency terms.

Who sets the retention schedule for a document management initiative?
Get advice on who should be involved in determining an organization's document retention schedule for best results.
Who should determine the retention schedule for a document management initiative?
Document retention policies are best developed by people with the best knowledge of the documents in question and the rules governing their protection and disposition. Those rules might be laws, industry standards or requirements imposed by an organization itself, and they need to be identified and applied to every kind of document that a business has in its systems. This means that, when you come right down to it, there really isn't just a single retention schedule to be created, and there probably shouldn't be just one person who decides what the different schedules should be.
I recommend that you convene a steering committee to handle the task -- meeting not just once but on a periodic basis to ensure that your retention policies properly reflect any changes in the business or governance environment. The committee should include representatives from a number of organizational functions, especially people drawn from senior management, line-of-business management, IT, the legal department, users who have the greatest need for document access and, of course, records management.
The reason to have such a breadth of perspectives is that there likely are different information strategy, compliance and operations issues to consider for each document type. It is also important to have different parts of the business represented because organizational change issues will inevitably crop up as you seek to ensure conformity on document retention. The good news is that there are plenty of examples to draw from across all industries, so you need not create your particular retention schedules from whole cloth. But you do need to adapt the examples to your own situation, and that will be enough to keep a committee busy for some time.
