Educate yourself before the election
To the editor:
Voters, before Election Day, educate yourselves. A mayor does not control the decisions of a Common Council. He can only break a tie vote and that will never happen when decisions are made based on party lines.
A mayor has no authority over the Board of Education. No mayor, no state agency -- noone does.
As the legal department of the state Department of Education told me: A school board is basically an entity of its own. To me, that equates to a board in a bubble.
State statutes indicate: "No State Agency has the authority to intervene or override a decision made by a District Board of Education. Any Appeal to overturn a decision must go through the Federal Court."
Once you elect school board members, they control the climate of our children's education! Do not vote by party line. Vote for the person you believe will clean house. Those voted to the board of ed will then elect a chairman for the next term.
I found the following on line under "A State Policy Framework for School Board & Superintendent Responsibilities:" "In this state policy framework, a school board is responsible for discussing, deliberating and acting on a variety of issues, including: 1. Hiring, evaluating and, if necessary, dismissing the superintendent."
As part of this process, a school board enters into a contract with a superintendent that includes explicit goals and performance standards for the superintendent along with the criteria to be used in evaluating the superintendent's performance.
I'm not sure about the logistics or Town Charter (I am still studying), but this was an eye opener. My own interpretation is that by electing the right board members, those who put our children's educational needs first, we could also get a new superintendent.
I certainly hope I am right.
My challenge to the education experts: Am I correct? Feedback is welcomed.

Still canvassing in Portland
To the editor:
My name is Lambros Lambrinides and I am the American Independent Party candidate for first selectman of Portland.
By the time you read this I will have spoken at the Middlesex Chamber of Commerce's Portland meeting on Oct. 5 with the other two candidates. I hope the voters of Portland now know I'm a "bona fide" candidate.
As most of you know or remember me from two years ago, I canvass from 5 to 7 p.m. or so and on the weekends in the afternoon, handing out my flyer and introducing myself. If I interrupt dinner, my apologies.
I hope to finish the west side of town before the end of the month and then start the east side. As you can imagine, the recent weather has been much different than two years ago, changing my schedule for hoping to do the whole town.
I will say one thing: people have changed a lot in two years, some people are very upset.
On a different subject, in a "letter to the editor" in October 2009 I mentioned that the Main Street project from Route 66 to the bridge was dangerous. There are problems. A good civil engineer would spot them in a minute.
I'm not saying repairs weren't needed, but nothing was done. The question is "when" not "if" something happens. I guess some people don't have a conscience or they just don't know.
Question: Does your water taste any better with the new pipe on High Street?
P.S. Please tell your friends about these letters.
Lambros Lambrinides
Line crews are gutsy folks
To the editor:
While the politicians investigate NU and UI's restoration responses to Tropical Storm Irene's statewide devastation, I would like to say I think the NU and UI men and women line-crews are the most dedicated gutsy folks you'll ever find, possibly shadowed only by the men and women of our firefighting brigades, our state and local police forces, and of course our superhero men and women serving in our armed forces.
To anyone who stands ready at a moment's notice (24-7-365) to rush out and risk their lives in the most treacherous weather conditions imaginable and travel dangerously hostile roadways, highways and driveways and then work under these horrendous conditions for days on end so that me and my fellow Connecticut residents might be able to keep our refrigerators refrigerating, or heaters heating, our water wells watering, and maybe even allow us to catch-up on a little TV news too, one can only say thank you, God Bless and stay safe.
Special thanks to the out-of-state and out-of-country line-crews who assisted with the monumental restoration!

Think before you vote
To the editor:
Think before you vote, please. If ever there was a time for the Republicans to take charge of the Board of Education, it's now. I don't think the Board of Education has control, personally. I believe that this Board of Ed has given the superintendent control of everything. God only knows that I have had my issues with our mayor, mostly his statements regarding the "Board of Ed is like dealing with terrorists," and "that he is the only one that can hire," is a just a little arrogant for me.
This Board of Education is self-governing and must follow that state of Connecticut educational laws and our city charter as it applies to them. I've said this "if you don't like the charter as it is work to change it." There is absolutely nothing wrong with the citizens of Middletown knowing how the board uses money in their budget.
In reading the Press the other morning, I was a little concerned when Gov. Daniel P. Malloy endorsed Dan Drew as mayor. Drew is fairly new in our town and if he, indeed, wants to be mayor, I suggest he stay on the council for a full term.
I truly think that the governor has enough on his plate dealing with the debt we have and trying to encourage businesses to come to Connecticut to help our economy. It is so telling when our governor weighs in to support Dan Drew. If this is saying without saying a word, the Democratic Central Committee gave the governor elect his marching orders to support all Democrats.
Dan Drew was appointed to the council when Vinnie Loffredo had to leave due to his job. Loffredo is a good man and he's missed; I could call him a friend. Drew should run for office as councilman, pay his dues, and realize how politics in Middletown is before he jumps into our mayor's chair. I want to mention Earle Roberts. Earle is running for council again, please consider Earle.
There are five seats open on the Board of Education. We need to win at least three seats to give the Republicans a chance to do better for the city. This will change the chairman, please God, and voters let's change the whole scenario for our city.
Now after the election the board can tell Michael Frechette that they will not renew his contract. This gives Frechette time to apply for another position and gives the board time to search for a superintendent that knows he works for the board and not vice versa. Also if need be, we can use interim superintendents until the right person is found.
It wouldn't be me if I didn't say good luck to Gene Nocera, but I've never felt teachers should sit on the Board of Ed; it's a conflict of interest.

Ruth Chris Steak House – 431 N Dearborn Chicago, (312) 321-2725 ruthschris.com
Q-tips say: Go and enjoy! Ruth Chris is much more than a Steak House. Yes, it is a steakhouse but we went for the "Happy Hour" and "H H bar bites." I had the tuna and the Mr. had spicy shrimp. Both delicious along with our "H H" drinks and the Wedge Salad that we shared. Their regular menu also offers a "Vegan Plate."
Mrs. Q says: A special shot out for our fabulous service. Our server, Gregory, did an outstanding job along with the other servers. Properly attentive but not hovering. He asked about our anniversary and bought us dessert of our choice, to eat there or to go. That is above and beyond normal service. Thank you, Gregory.
Mrs. Q thought perhaps they were in shock that two people could be married that long to the same person and still talking to one another 🙂
Now Mrs. Q must mention the Bar Happy Hours. They offer $9 Sizzle, Swizzle, Swirl Happy Hour includes a delicious selection of full-size appetizers and delicious food from, if I remember correctly 4PM to 6PM. Make sure the Ruth Chris in your location offers the Happy Hour Bar items, a few do not.

"Up In Honey's Room" by Elmore Leonard
Up In Honey's Room is trademark Leonard from start to finish. It is entirely dialogue-driven - sharply drawn and humorous characters having funny and entertaining conversations. The plot is particularly threadbare and there isn't much gun play or other action. The spare and somewhat languorous nature of the plot have subjected Up In Honey's Room to a fair amount of criticism, most calling it a middling entry in Leonard's catalog, at best. I don't read Leonard for complex or innovative plots, nor do I expect much action. What I do expect is exactly what Honey delivers, memorable characters that capture and hold my imagination, together with loads of entertaining dialogue. Honey isn't as rich as Tishomingo Blues or quite as funny as Mr. Paradise, but it immediately captured my attention and I liked the wacky cast of characters.
I don't have any quotes because I listened to this one on audiobook. Honey delivers a quick, entertaining story. The Carl Webster character was the subject of Leonard's previous The Hot Kid, which was more favorably reviewed and is next on my audiobook list.

Euchre Group
This group is for those who wish to enjoy playing Euchre in an informal and not too serious way.
It is a group of mixed abilities, and we have some former beginners and some more experienced players. We generally arrange ourselves into tables as people arrive, and don't operate a formal rotation system.
New members of the group need not have played Euchre before, but experience has shown that it's essential for "third age" beginners to Euchre to be already proficient in at least one other trick taking game such as Whist, Knock out Whist, Solo or Bridge.
We meet in the lounge at La Nouvelle Maraitaine on Wednesday afternoons. The "official" times for the group are 3 to 5 pm., but we have become accustomed to meeting at 2.35, courtesy of the singing group, who stop singing around 2.35 to start their tea break.
Maraitaine provide a tea and coffee making facility for a small donation into the honesty box for residents' amenities (U3A recommend 50p).
The group has a Waiting List because of space constraints. To be placed on the Waiting List email via the pigeon or call Bob on 254979

After narrowly escaping a brutal civil war in Sri Lanka, the Vasantharajah family was forced to flee the country, seeking refuge in Canada. The Canadian Dream started, with a newly claimed refugee status and no more than $30 to the Vasantharajah family name.
Throughout Jay's childhood, he carefully watched his father build small businesses from the ground up. From a pizza shop to a mechanic garage to an airport taxi service, Jay first learned business principles from his father, adopting his work ethic and immigrant hustle.
Jay decided to enroll in an accounting degree at University of Guelph, fascinated by the language of business. Numbers came easy to Jay, fast-tracking through the entire degree to the point where he was hired by the university as a TA (Teacher Assistant) for his own cohort.
During his university years, Jay began developing and selling websites, sealing his first deal with a local accounting firm. Eventually all of the student councils noticed Jay's work and hired him to develop websites for them, and Jay made some good coin doing this (for a university student). As his website business started to grow, it had to be put on hold as Jay accepted a job offer from Deloitte.
At Deloitte, Jay felt that he just wasn't challenged enough, constantly dreaming of pursuing entrepreneurship. Jay would work at Deloitte through the week and drive cabs on weekends for his dad, in order to build capital to fund his future business idea. After watching his father struggle with digital marketing solutions for his small business, he spotted an opportunity. He knew that there had to be a better way to scale digital marketing solutions for small business owners, like his father.
With that Jay started ClientFlo out of his condo. ClientFlo was the answer for small business owners to acquire new customers through digital marketing solutions. ClientFlo won the Digital Marketing Agency of the Year Award in 2017 by Clutch.
Jay eventually went on to start and invest in other business ventures as well, including PureFilters, a leading online air filtration supplier.
Jay was awarded the Young Entrepreneur of the Year 2018 by the Canadian Tamil Chamber of Commerce and continues to grow his businesses year after year.

7 Benefits of a Steel Garage Building
The garage has always been used to store valuable items. Over the past twenty years, the garage has become a different kind of space that adds a new level of function to a home. Man-caves, she-sheds, studios and shops are all new incarnations of the traditional garage.
A garage is still often used to store cars, motorcycles, boats, kayaks and other miscellaneous valuables. A steel garage building can provide a modern touch that will add to the value of a property as well as providing shelter and protection for valuables.
A wooden garage averages $16,000 to $40,000 but can cost as much as $60,000. A steel garage kit will run between $5,000 and $15,000. A steel garage costs less in part because a homeowner can do part of the construction themselves with some help.
A competent do-it-yourself homeowner can build themselves a high-quality garage for much less money this way. You will need to choose the width, length, color, doors, windows and roof style before you order a kit.
Most companies take about three weeks to create your custom kit and send it to you. Common tools like a power drill, a ladder, a hammer and tape-measure are all you will need to construct the garage when it arrives.
Maintenance Costs
Warping, UV light damage, and cracking due to wind and rain are the most common ways that a wooden framed building can be damaged. Steel frames, on the other hand, can withstand intense wind (up to 170 mph) and will not warp or crack.
Wood buildings are prone to rodent or insect infestations. Termite damage can be very expensive and can lead to the replacement of damaged portions of the structure. Steel materials are not friendly to rodents or insects and will not be at risk for this type of damage.
Wooden structures burn quickly if a fire is started because the wood contains sugars and proteins and cellulose that combine with the oxygen in the air, feeding the blaze. Steel frame buildings are fire resistant and will not contribute to the spread of a fire.
Customize Your Steel Building
You can customize your building in various ways by choosing door styles, type of insulation, wainscoting and roof style.
There are many uses for a steel garage structure. A combination garage and carport can give you the ability to customize the size of the space for larger vehicles. Some items will not fit in a regular garage and need a carport option to protect them.
The same styling can protect animals or feed from the weather. An insulated building like this can also provide an extension of your home. It provides space for a shop or a man-cave.
Easy to Care For
Steel is easy to care for. Stains, bird droppings, dirt and other offal can be easily cleaned off of a steel building. Soapy liquid and a pressure washer are all you need to keep your steel building looking great. Wooden structures require scrubbing, and application of paint or stain.
Paint and stain only last so long and have to be re-applied frequently. Steel has the additional benefit of not being susceptible to mildew and mold.
Steel is resistant to blizzards, heavy downpours, high winds and even earthquakes. Steel buildings are required to adhere to OSHA safety standards and are therefore strictly reviewed for structural soundness and quality materials.
Steel offers protection from rain, wind, snow and also brings with it peace of mind. Modern steel buildings are insulated, fabricated carefully and can be purchased in easy to construct kits.
A steel building can be a great investment in many ways and for many uses.

Obama and his supporters want to have a conversation. One where they control the topic first, the message and questions second, to the extent they are able. But the first is the big one, lets talk about Mitt's taxes, Gay marriage, reproductive rights,
green energy, Mrs. Romney's horse, etc… Anything but Obama's record on jobs or the economy. I get some emails from Glenn Beck. Most I delete without reading, but a recent one caught my eye.

70 Facts About Our Economy Obama Probably Doesn't Want You To See
A stunning collection of 70 facts about the U.S. economy just posted on the web is probably not going to make it into the next campaign ad from the folks at Obama for America. However, you might want to read it. http://theeconomiccollapseblog.com/archives/the-u-s-economy-by-the-numbers-70-facts-that-barack-obama-does-not-want-you-to-see
TheBlaze has culled 10 from the list of 70 here:
- The price of gas – When Obama took office, a gallon of gas cost you $1.85. Today, it's up to $3.59 per gallon (July's rise was 17 cents a gallon).
- 71% of small business owners believe we're still in a recession — Despite government claims that the recession actually ended years ago, a majority of small business owners feel very differently.
- You have to work 107 days each year just to pay Federal, State, & Local taxes – That means you don't earn a penny until April 18th.
- More than 30% of unemployed Americans have been out of work for more than a year – In 2007, that number was 10%.
- Low income America – According to NBC News, virtually half of all Americans are considered to be "low income" or living in poverty.
- Propping up the economy by monetizing our massive debt — In 2008, the Federal Reserve bought "negligible" amounts of our debt, last year the Fed purchased 61% of the government debt issued by the Treasury Dept.
- Speaking of "no faith in the US Dollar" – The price of gold when Obama was inaugurated, $850 an ounce. Today, gold is over $1500.
- The disappearing family farm – In the mid-1930s, America had an estimated 6.8 million farms. Today, the EPA estimates that number to be right around two million (and getting squeezed more and more by constricting regulation).
- Another (bad) trade record set with China – In 2011, our trade deficit with China was almost $300 billion dollars. That is the single highest deficit that one country has had with another… ever.
- A stunning amount spent on stupid studies like Why do chimps throw their poop? – Almost $600,000 of your tax dollars was sent to the folks who studied chimpanzee poop tossing, plus $198,195 paid to find out if "tweeting" makes people happy… It's all HERE.
The full list, complete with links to the supporting stories, can be found here.
Report: Cronyism, political donations likely behind Obama, Holder failure to charge any bankers after 2008 financial meltdown
A new report from the conservative Government Accountability Institute (GAI) finds that President Barack Obama's and Attorney General Eric Holder's failure to criminally charge any top Wall Street bankers is likely a result of cronyism inside the Department of Justice and political donations made to Obama's campaign.
Despite Obama's and Holder's "heated rhetoric" against Wall Street (in 2009, Obama blamed the 2008 financial collapse on "reckless speculation of bankers" while Holder charged that "unscrupulous executives, Ponzi scheme operators and common criminals alike have targeted the pocketbooks and retirement accounts of middle class Americans"), they haven't "filed a single criminal charge against any top executive of an elite financial institution," GAI wrote in its report, exclusively obtained by The Daily Caller.
GAI argues that the Obama administration's decision to not go after Big Finance is due to senior DOJ leadership — Holder, Associate Attorney General Tom Perrelli, Associate Attorney General Tony West, Assistant Attorney General Lanny Breuer, Deputy Attorney General James Cole and Deputy Associate Attorney General Karol Mason — who "all came to the DOJ from prestigious white-collar defense firms where they represented the very financial institutions the DOJ is supposed to investigate."
The report details how Holder and Breuer both came to the DOJ from Covington & Burling, a "top-tier Washington law firm" with a client list that includes financial firms like Wells Fargo, J.P. Morgan Chase, Bank of America, CitiBank, Deutsche Bank, Goldman Sachs, ING, Morgan Stanley, UBS and Wilmington Trust.
GAI said that President Obama's decision to choose Holder, "a white-collar defense attorney from Covington," as his attorney general, over a "more fiery prosecutor," appears to have sent "a subtle signal to the financial community" that this administration isn't going to actually do anything, despite the harsh words.
Cole, the report outlines, was with Bryan Cave LLP — "a white-shoe firm with A-list clients" — before becoming Holder's right-hand man at the DOJ. One of Cole's clients while at Bryan Cave LLP, the GAI report shows, was insurance and financial giant AIG.
Cole had done $20 million worth of work for AIG between 2004 and 2008, but his close ties with the company — which was "at the heart of the financial crisis largely because of its noncompliance in regulatory and compliance issues" — didn't stop Obama or Holder from welcoming him aboard their administration.

Remembering the time Michael Schumacher was the Stig
Season 13 of Great Britain's Top Gear kicked off in June 2009.
During Episode 1 of the new season, one of the cars reviewed was the 860-horsepower Ferrari FXX, which turned a lap of the show's test track with a 1:10.7, putting it to the top of the board. This lap time would later be disallowed due to the fact that it was turned on slick tires.
However, Ferrari doesn't let just anyone drive the FXX. At the time, only 30 people owned an FXX, and all of them were kept at the Italian manufacturer's factory. Since only those 30 owners are permitted to drive the car, the 1:10.7 lap was turned not by the real "Stig" – who was Ben Collins at the time – but in fact by the FXX's owner.
Top Gear then brought the owner into the studio, still in his "Stig" disguise, to reveal who he really was.
Once the helmet was off, seven-time Formula One World Champion Michael Schumacher sat down for a regular interview with the show's host Jeremy Clarkson.
Today, Schumacher continues to undergo medical rehabilitation at his home in Switzerland following a serious skiing accident on Dec. 29, 2013.
Here's how Schumacher's revelation appeared on TV:

Plenty of internet clients search on-line about recommendations on the way to earn or earn money on-line. Hey Texastar – appears to be like like you've got a beef with me. In case you do please take it to emails so the professional folks here can continue with the topic of this tread. my e-mail handle is: [email protected] – e-mail any beef you have with me – will respond if I would like too.
It's a fairly simple system to study, and it lets folks share posts and pictures on one thing with their title hooked up to it. For this sort of blogger, WordPress may very well be an costly model to free — though, I would not exactly call it a waste of money.
This is no act lady okay, fed up to the back tooth. Are you able to not read between the lines, I'm dying! I Do not give a shit who has my information, come blow my head off then – I've executed nothing improper, but I can let you know we all bought FIBERS and we're up shit creek in a barbed wire canoe. Type it out please, I'll stay away if you want. I assume I might be advised to remain away now since I am spilling my heart out in regards to the fact and just woken as much as the fact that you lot had been enjoying your RESESARCH on me on this weblog. Properly that could be a crime.
I resent the tone you've. If not the real Morgellons than how in regards to the bucky balls. They don't burn. There's such a factor as C60, however, if you are stuck on the various methods of demeaning people, then you will by no means actually know what is going on.
The longer I cling around right here, perhaps folks will begin to say the identical about me, but the distinction with me is that I've Morgellons Illness and I know that is is actual.

Just got this book yesterday and I am already on chapter 16! LOVE THIS BOOK! Well written, fun, funny, heartfelt, and honest. The author tells the story as if she is right there in front of you, and she is so very likable. Someone you would like to have as a friend. SO worth the cost of the book and the audible accompaniment.
***UPDATE – received the book on wed and finished it Thursday (all while running my business, and "normal" life lol). I was sad when I was finished cause I wanted MORE!
I thoroughly enjoyed this book. The characters are delightful and the story is fun with moments that make you feel every emotion. Each part of the story flows into the next and keeps you glued to the pages until you've read every one and leave you wanting more of the characters you have come to love. Wonderful read!

Integrity came from the Latin word Integritas or Integer in English. As you know, an integer is a whole number and cannot have decimals or fractions. In life, a person with integrity is incorruptible and 100% in terms of doing the right thing. It does not mean that the person will not make a mistake. It only says the person is doing what he or she thinks is right.
I've been an advocate of integrity for a long time already. I have a Chinese symbol tattoo on my back and one of the core values defined in Hilsoft's core values.
In business or any workplace, you'll be faced with a lot of scenarios that will challenge your integrity. There's always a question of what is the best action for a particular problem. The first thing that we do is to reason with it and use our logic. If it couldn't be explained through logic, then we follow our gut feel and intuition. But if integrity is within your core values, then that I think is the last filter to tell yourself if you're making a sound decision or not.
I always hear from NBA coaches to play the game the right way. And most of the champions play the right way. What stuck to my mind is the 2004 Detroit Pistons led by coach Larry Brown and with no superstar player. They played the right way by passing the ball, selflessness and team chemistry and they were able to defeat the LA Lakers with an all-star team such as Shaq, Kobe, Karl, and Gary.
This example above gives integrity a strong argument, and that's what I firmly believe. Would you choose positivity over negativity? Half full or half empty? I will never choose negative because positivity always wins. Cynical people may win in the short term, but in the long run, positive people or positive culture still prevails and wins.
So what are the practical ways to demonstrate integrity?
- Keep your commitments. Don't say yes if you want to say no. If you say you will give feedback tomorrow, then provide feedback tomorrow.
- Let go of your ego. Sometimes our judgment is clouded because of ego. There came a time at Hilsoft where I had to let go of my perks and allow our finance team to controls my expenses. It's my job to be a model for my team and let go of the ego when the finance team controls my costs. I also know that I am responsible for the survival of the company, our customers, employees, and our shareholders. They should all come first before me. It was difficult at first but I let the concept of integrity guide me.
- Take responsibility and accountability. If you made a mistake, admit it, and correct your errors.
- Don't tolerate problems. People tend to tolerate problems when they see them. They always assume that it will take care of itself. It is not. So we have to resolve every issue that we see. It will never end but at least it doesn't pile up.
- Negotiations should always be a win-win. Sometimes, people are tempted to win a deal without carefully assessing the other party's benefit. This should apply not only to customers but also with employees and suppliers.
These are just a few examples. The takeaway here is to learn to always be in check on your decisions before making actions. Would you rather win but will bug you in your sleep forever or win with a peace of mind. An integrity-based decision to me is always a peace of mind. If you do this, then you have nothing to hide, and you won't take criticisms seriously.

I know it's a song and not Scripture itself, but these words are speaking so deeply to me in this season. These lyrics to one of my favorite Christmas songs–O Holy Night–that are just striking me in a way that they never have before. Speaking directly into the heaviness that this season has been and proclaiming God's banner of beauty over it. Because with all my heart, I believe that God is writing redemption over every broken thing.
My heart has felt more burdened this year for all of those who are walking through loss–whether recently or not. Because in a sad but beautiful way, walking through grief is something that connects us. I share unique friendships with others who have lost a parent, and we understand something about one another that others who haven't experienced that kind of sorrow just don't quite get. And I don't want anyone to enter the dead parent's club before they have to, but I also love everything about the ways I feel connected to these people that I get to walk through life with.
This season is hard. It is hard for so many reasons. But for others that have experienced loss, it can be especially hard. Christmas brings up memories of the past and highlights all the more the one who is missing. It brings with it dreams that are unrealized as we mourn those that should be here with us. And my heart is truly going out to all of you who trudge through this season with pain in your heart for the ones you love that are no longer here. I am feeling it deeply alongside you.
Because it shouldn't shock me by now, but it always does. This day that I hate that comes each and every year. And it falls on a Wednesday this year, just like it did all those years ago. Twenty eight years ago to the day. A day that I lived through that I will never remember, but it changed everything about my life. Twenty eight years ago today that my mom and grandfather and uncle–and the baby brother or sister that would have joined our family–were killed when a plane exploded 30,000 feet up in the air. When Christmas became about tragedy and loss. And I feel it in my utter bones each and every year–the pain of missing her. Missing this woman that I never got the chance to know that has come with it's own special kind of grief of mourning the life that could have been. This day has been part of my life from the very beginning, and yet every year it comes in a way that shocks in its enormity. My whole childhood, starting with that very first one, Christmas was colored in pain.
But you know what? It makes me ready for Christmas.
December is my heavy month. If you know me at all, you've heard me say that a thousand times. It is a month of sitting in the weight of the darkness of this world–and as hard as it is, I don't begrudge it. Because there is something about it that I appreciate. Because darkness makes light brighter, and pain makes joy sweeter. And all of it makes me draw nearer to my Savior.
For me, Christmas doesn't make sense without the heavy. Just as we sing in this song that I love–the weary world rejoices in the birth of this infant King. And my goodness, when you have experienced true weariness, you can do nothing but fall on your knees and worship the One who came to free you from it. The One who came to break all the chains of bondage that bind us to this fallen world. The One who rewrote our stories so long ago so that they no longer end in pain, but in victory.
And my goodness, I get all sorts of giddy goosebumps when I imagine that first Christmas. The Light of the World that was born in the dead of night–history changing in an instant and yet know one knew it. Know one understood what the birth of this baby truly meant. Not even Mary or Joseph or the shepherds who came and worshipped. I'm not sure we even fully know what it means for God to become flesh and blood and walk through all of the things we will ever face. A helpless baby that needed to be held in the arms of His parents until the day came when His very arms stretched out wide upon a cross and He carried each and every one of us instead.
That is the God that I worship at Christmas. This infant King that stepped out of eternity and put on flesh to walk every painful road ahead of me that I will ever walk. The One who brought a gospel of peace into a world full of strife. Whose law is love and who fills even our worst moments with hope. He stepped into our messy lives and completely changed the story, so that even though we still walk through loss and sorrow, our story ends in beauty.
In short–this day, my tragedy, has truly taught me what it means to worship.
And when you walk through brokenness and see God's redemption even in the worst of moments–when you are so completely bone-weary in pain and grief and yet still believing that He is good even when everything around you is not–that is a weary world rejoicing.
So if you are feeling it, my friend–it you are feeling the heaviness that this season often brings, remember the weight of what He has already carried for you. Think of this baby in a manger–our King brought so low so that He could raise us up with Him. Remember the cross, when He carried your sorrow for you so that even though your circumstances may overwhelm in this moment, this moment will never be where you forever stay. Rejoice, O weary soul, for Jesus has come with redemption in His wings, and all that is ugly and painful will one day be beautiful.
May your weariness lead you to true worship. Let all within us praise His holy name.

The Korean Fair Trade Commission (KFTC) imposed a fine of 7.6 billion won (US$6.8 million) on Korean Reinsurance Co., saying that the company has blocked potential competitors from entering the local aviation reinsurance market for close to 20 years by abusing its market dominance.
Aviation insurance can be defined as a contract between a non-life insurer and a helicopter or small airplane operator. The former's burden is heavy in the event of an accident and, as such, it usually signs a contract with a reinsurance company after undertaking. In this market, Korean Reinsurance Company's market share has amounted to 88% for five years.
According to the commission, the company has blocked potential competitors by unfairly treating brokers going between foreign reinsurance companies and South Korean non-life insurers. In addition, the company has signed special retrocession contracts with foreign reinsurance companies that are more likely to enter the South Korean market so that South Korean non-life insurers do business with foreign reinsurance companies via itself. Also, the company caused South Korean non-life insurers to undertake aviation insurance contracts based on insurance premium rates it determined.
Korean Reinsurance Co. is going to mull over how to respond to the measure after related documents are delivered early next year. Its response is predicted to include administrative litigation.

The holidays are here. What does this mean? The new year is approaching, of course! And it will be here before we know it.
Some of you readers may have started to give consideration to your New Year's resolutions, and among the important items you wish to drill down on might include one of the following:
- Improve my health
- Improve my appearance
- Increase my energy and productivity
- Eat more responsibily and nutritiously to improve my health, improve my appearance, and increase my energy and productivity
- Exercise 3 hours per day, 7 days per week for the entire 365 days of 2010 (don't overshoot now!)
If these resolutions sound familiar to you, you are not alone. If you have endeavored such resolutions in the past without total success, or just to have them fizzle out after the first few weeks of the new year, you are also not alone.
The new-year's-resolution reality, which you likely have experienced on a personal level either through your own situation or the situations of those around you, is that they are quickly lost, perhaps due to a lack of focus, committment, and a support group, or a combination of these factors. Time and time again, year after year, our committment to our health and fitness resolutions die down, often after less than a few weeks into the new year.
If, after careful reflection, or no reflection at all, you have decided that committing to your health resolutions for the New Year is a top priority, and if you are at wits end trying to figure out the most sensible, convenient, supportive and economical way to make it happen this year, consider a structured program and interactive support group to guide you as you start of 2010 on the right foot.
Look no further!
Join three extraordinary health counseling professionals this January to give your body what it needs to start off the new year! Spark's own certifiied Holistic Health Counselors Andrea Moss and Hadley Seward have teamed with Gena Hamshaw, a clinical nutritionist and raw food blogger to provide a 3-level, 10-day Detoxification Cleanse, complete with menus and grocery lists, group telephone meetings, and an online forum.
- Level 1 focuses on gently reducing inflammation in the body caused by hidden food allergies or sensitivities, as well as discovering what foods each person's body does not tolerate well. By the end, participants will have more energy, feel lighter, and have a deeper understanding of how food affects their bodies. This cleanse is designed for those who have never done a detox before or who currently eat a diet high in meat, dairy, sugar, processed foods, and/or caffeine.
- Level 2 takes cleasning one step further to help you reboot your metabolism by detoxing from common allergens and addictive foods, while adding several supplements along the way to help support your body for a deeper cleanse.. Participants will boost energy levels and reduce toxic internal inlammation by taking a break from foods that are difficult for our systems to digest. This is a great cleanse for those who already eat a moderately healthy diet and are ready to take their wellness, energy levels and metabolism to the next level.
- Level 3 focuses on restoring the body's alkalinity, in enhancing elimination and digestive health, and on awakening stored toxins with raw, plant based foods and vegetable juice. It will be a user-friendly introduction to raw foods and how to implement them. Participants can opt for either a high-raw or a semi-raw, all vegan protocol. This is a perfect cleanse for those who have some familiarity with an all plant-based diet, but who are seeking to enhance digestive health and break lingering addictions to processed foods and animal products. It's also a perfect option for those who have dabbled in raw foods and juicing, but need some guidance in maintaining consistency into 2010.
The benefits you realize from a cleanse are plentiful, and it will provide you, your mind, and your body with a the ideal jump-start to improving your health through a cleansed system, improved digestion, improved clarity of mind, and so much more.
The cleanse will last from January 18-27. All three practitioners will jointly host a free teleclass on the benefits of a cleanse, as well as details of the program, on January 6 at 8 PM.
The cleanse and kick-off teleclass do not start until January 18 – but fear not! You can still start 2010 with a conscious, deliberate effort toward detoxification, cleansing and a refocus on your wellness and health by starting off with the pre-tox instructions, which will be provided to you one week before the start of the cleanse.
Then, come January 18, when the first group meeting takes place by phone (and when your resoultions would have normally fizzed out already), you will have the perfect opportunity and source of support to refocus, renergize, and transform as you move toward your health and fitness goals.
Regular cost is $60.
Those who sign up before 12/31 receive $10 off.
If you sign up with a friend, you each receive $5 off.
Bloggers who participate and promote on their blog receive $10 off.
Holistic Health practitioners receive $10 off.

If you've already decided on a geothermal system, or are interested in learning more, the following information will help you understand the process of installing a geothermal heat pump system in your home.
Geothermal systems take advantage of the fact that the earth stores up energy from the sun, maintaining a year-round underground temperature of 45-75 degrees, depending on latitude. By routing a water/antifreeze solution through buried pipes, heat from your house is "rejected" into the ground during the summer, and stored solar energy is extracted from the earth to heat your home in the winter.
Geothermal systems have relatively high up-front costs, but offer much higher energy efficiency than nearly all other heating and cooling options. The U.S. Department of Energy estimates that the cost of geothermal installations is easily returned in energy savings. As an added incentive, a federal tax credit of 30 percent of the cost of a geothermal system is available for qualified residential systems.
Here's what will happen once you've made the decision to buy:
- A contractor will visit your house to determine your energy requirements and available space. The size of your yard, presence or absence of terrain features such as ponds, and size of your house will help determine the size of the ground loops, but you may also consider the quality of insulation in your home, whether windows and doors suffer drafts, and other factors.
- The contractor will begin by installing the outside loops, either horizontally or vertically in a ground system. This will involve a significant amount of drilling, depending on the layout of ground loops that best fits your property, but the process should take only a few days.
- After the outside loops are laid, the contractor will connect them to your house and install the indoor component of the geothermal system. These run about as quietly as a refrigerator.
- Once your system is installed, you're ready to enjoy the benefits of a geothermal heating and cooling system. Our installations are guaranteed, and we're ready to service these reliable systems through their long operating lives.
For more expert advice on installing geothermal systems, or to start the process of upgrading your home, please contact us at Paschal Heat, Air & Geothermal. We're proud to have served northwest Arkansas for more than 40 years.
Our goal is to help educate our customers in Northwest Arkansas about energy and home comfort issues (specific to HVAC systems). For more information about Geothermal Systems and other HVAC topics, download our free Home Comfort Resource guide.

Home>Plan Your Trip>Domaci Gallery
Hammond Bay Art Studio opened the doors of its latest endeavor, Domaci Gallery, on November 23rd, 2006. The gallery features the work of several contemporary artists and artisans as well as the work of owners Tim and Mary Pritchard. Many of the artists represented in the gallery are local Michigan artists, but also included are artists from as far away as Oberdorla, Germany.
Throughout the year the gallery hosts Featured Artist events where the artist is celebrated at an opening reception and the public is able to meet the creator of works on display. Live music is a new addition to the gallery. Once a month on Sundays, musicians perform for those who come to enjoy an intimate acoustic concert. It is the goal of the gallery to continue adding events that inspire and experimenting with new ideas.
Many wonder where the gallery got its name. Domaci means home in Slovakian, the heritage of owner Mary Pritchard who was born and raised in Rogers City where the gallery is located.

Nike Executive Steps Down Amidst Workplace Behavior Investigation
Nike Inc. (NYSE: NKE) was under fire on Friday following an internal memo and a change in its senior executive management that may or may not be connected. The apparel manufacturer is finding itself under the sexual harassment microscope, but nothing has been deemed conclusive yet.
According to the memo, Nike management has become aware of reports of behavior occurring within its organization that does not reflect its core values of "inclusivity, respect, and empowerment." In a sense, this is highlighting what many perceive as sexual harassment. And this comes at a strange time.
In the same memo, Nike announced a departure in its senior leadership, which seems fishy. Trevor Edwards, Nike Brand president, will retire from Nike in August. He will now serve as an advisor to Mark Parker until his retirement as Nike transitions its organization. According to a spokeswoman, there have been no direct allegations of misconduct against Edwards.
The memo detailed Nike's plan going forward:
We are going to be doing a comprehensive review of our HR systems and practices along with elevating our complaint process for matters of respect issues. We will increase and invest more heavily in our diversity and inclusion teams and networks and additionally will immediately put in place an enhanced process to encourage our employees to speak up and make their voices heard.
The company also announced that Mark Parker will remain as board chair, president and chief executive officer beyond 2020, and Elliott Hill, former president of Nike Geographies, will take on the new role as president of Consumer and Marketplace. In this role, he will be responsible for Marketing, Geographies, Nike Direct and Global Sales. Michael Spillane will continue to lead all Categories, Design, Product and Merchandising. In the new structure, both Hill and Spillane will report directly to Mark Parker.
Where there's smoke, there's fire. But in this case there's not enough information to go on and allegations may be easy to dismiss. It's worth pointing out that Edwards seems to be leaving on a positive note, at least according to Parker:
I'd like to thank Trevor for the important role he has played for 25 years and for his significant contributions. He has helped us grow and strengthen our brand on a global scale. I am committed to stay in my role as Chairman, President and CEO beyond 2020. Trevor has decided to retire. We are fortunate to have a strong management team in place who is well suited to drive our next stage of growth and to steward and evolve our culture in the future.
Shares of Nike were last seen up slightly to $66.47, with a consensus analyst price target of $67.91 and a 52-week range of $50.35 to $70.25.

The word 'Tudca' is a short form of Tauoursodeoxycholic acid, which happens to be a metabolite of ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA), commonly used in treating cholestasis. Cholestasis results when the production or flow of bile to our liver stops or slows. As it's naturally occurring bile acid in the body, Tudca boosts the production of bile through natural means and hinders the toxic steroid metabolites from forming. This makes it possible for the normal production and flow of bile. While our body can naturally do this on its own, sometimes owing to different health factors, it may not effectively do this. Therefore, there's the need for supplementation.
This is the perfect livercare supplement for you. It is specially designed to help keep your liver in optimal health both off cycle and on cycle. With this formula, you can be sure that your liver is protected each time your cycle delivers. Even though not all cycle requires liver protection, however, there is no better protector than Tudca for the cycles that require the liver to be protected.
How does it work
The Tudca present in this formula works just like the naturally occurring one would work in our body. It neutralizes the toxicity resulting from the presence of regular bile acids in our liver. Bile acids increase when our liver makes contact with toxins, and as they build up, they increasingly stress up our liver. Due to its solubility in water, tudca competes with these regular bile acids in the body.
Furthermore, TUDCA can assist our body in directly reducing the stress in any cell's endoplasmic recticulum and through this mechanism, it has been proven to present numerous benefits including boosting insulin sensitivity, acting as a neuroprotector, as well as combating diabetes. It helps promote a healthy liver, and reduces metabolites found in our liver. It also enhances cardiovascular health and helps boost levels of good cholesterol in our body.
This formula contains Tauroursodeoycholic acid sodium as an active agent. Other ingredients include Rice Flour, Magnesium Stearate, Gelatin,
Advantages and Benefits
This product meets the highest standards in potency and quality. Made in an accredited facility, it is completely pure and is free of toxins, GMOs, animal products, and completely safe for use. It is quite suitable for vegans and is a sure bet to effectively protecting your liver.
Why use Olympus Labs TUDCA
To ensure your body makes the most of what it gets, Olympus Labs used TUDCA as the only active ingredient present in this supplement. While studies have shown that milk thistle can support liver function, clinical studies have also proven that Tauoursodeoxycholic acid is the most effective and beneficial liver-supporting agent out there. With this, you can be sure that your liver will be continually optimized for different functions relevant to it. This product will help you to effectively counteract toxicity in our body and combat various diseases such as cholestasis and diabetes among others.

Pinhoe Church Services & Messy Church
We are a Church of England primary school and work closely with the local church, Pinhoe Church, which is part of the Clyst Mission Community.
In the past, fortnightly services have been held in our school hall. From January 2019, the Pinhoe church team will be holding weekly family worship services:
Every Sunday
In our main school hall.
There will be a children's group and the service is generally an hour long and will finish with refreshments. Everyone is welcome at these gatherings, at whatever stage you are on in your journey with your faith.
We hold an after school messy church in our school hall, once a month on a Thursday, between 3:30-6pm. There is play, a bible activity led by a member of our church team and a family dinner.

Today's businesses across all industries, including SLED, are successfully leveraging mobile and cloud technologies to change the way employees work, collaborate, and shortcut traditional business processes. In fact, next-gen technologies have permeated organizations nationwide: 78 percent of companies will fully adopt cloud computing by 2020,[1] and 67 percent view mobile solutions and services as critical to their business.[2]
Just because businesses are driven by mobile technology and the cloud doesn't mean that every company can afford an extensive networking staff to support it. To meet escalating connectivity demands with limited resources, our team at ePlus recommends simplified, mobile-first network design that integrates advanced security and control from the start.
Leverage these innovations from Aruba, a Hewlett Packard Enterprise company, and ePlus to build an infrastructure that can easily advance your mobility goals:
- Screaming-fast service for all: It has been reported that 7 out of 10 users complain about poor WiFi performance.3 These service disruptions directly impact workforce productivity, customer experience, and critical communications. With advanced Aruba Wave 2 access points delivered to you by ePlus, you get 36 percent faster WiFi speeds for more simultaneously connected users.3
- Immersive security protections: With new technology comes new cyberthreats. When advanced firewall and intrusion detection capabilities are built into the infrastructure, you can automate your response to threats — quarantining infected devices before they allow malware into the environments, and preventing rogue devices from accessing critical applications and more.
- Simplified BYOD and IoT control: Too often, IT is forced to waste cycles manually defining access policies for individual smartphones, tablets, laptops, printers, cameras, and other connected appliances. With a more powerful management interface, administrators can write global rules that will then be applied during a fully automated onboarding process.
- Service optimization Intelligence: Diagnosing WiFi issues requires a deep understanding of performance at each point in the communication chain — device, application, user, and connection level. When your administrators have this level of visibility, they can proactively prioritize service in areas of high demand or notify users if their device doesn't have the bandwidth to deliver a quality experience.
- Frictionless scalability: Predicting infrastructure growth in small businesses can be difficult. With Aruba technologies implemented by ePlus, you can start with a WiFi solution without a controller, and choose the management solution (software- or cloud-based) that best fits your administrative style. More importantly, you can integrate wired and wireless assets from any vendor to create a seamless, unified infrastructure for boosting connectivity, managing assets, and optimizing user experiences.
Aruba ClearPass from ePlus helps you to keep the data safe that you have stored in the cloud, and it delivers visibility, policy control, and workflow automation in one cohesive solution. With the Aruba ClearPass portfolio of network security and policy management software, you can identify what's on your network, enforce smart policies, protect your resources via dynamic policy controls, and secure BYOD and IoT devices.
ePlus offers a holistic approach to securing data and developing strong risk management frameworks that enable organizations to reduce overall risk; prevent, defend against, and recover from malicious cyberattacks; ensure enterprise security and data security across a new digital landscape; build strong security cultures; and support innovation and digital transformation with enhanced visibility, control, and mitigation across cloud, mobile, and IoT environments.
Contact ePlus today at 888-482-1122 or firstname.lastname@example.com to see if your company can benefit from one of our security assessments.

7 Ways to Turn Unwanted Wedding Gifts Into Cash
No matter how carefully you curated your wedding registry, after all is said and done, you may have ended up with a couple duplicate gifts or, let's face it, a couple gifts that just don't fit into your home.
Whether it's a duck-shaped serving tray from Aunt Mabel or a $100 Disney Store gift card from the friend who must be hoping you have children ASAP, every newlywed couple has to consider what to do with gifts they didn't ask for or will likely never use. Sure, you could stuff 'em in the back of a closet until the end of time, but why take up all that valuable storage space? There are a few ways to make some extra cash and avoid offending the bad gifter all at the same time.
Here are seven steps to getting the most out of even your unusable wedding gifts:
Write the giver a sincere thank-you.
This is wedding etiquette 101. Even if you get the urge to run out of the room every time you look at the creepy wedding dolls your sister-in-law gave you, it's still important to take the time to thank her for her trouble. No matter how seemingly unusual the gift, whoever bought it for you thought you would like it, and took the time to pick it out for you. So they got it wrong, so what? You're a grown up. Take the high road, and write them a thank-you note just like you would for any other gift.
One thing you should NOT include in this note? A receipt request. This is tacky, petty and the opposite of gracious. Not only will you certainly not get a receipt for the item promptly mailed to you (if they didn't include it with the gift, they probably threw it out), but it will also alert the gifter that you plan on returning their present, which may result in hurt feelings and a strained relationship in the future. You're not required to keep a gift you have no use for, but being kind costs you nothing AND it won't come back to bite you at your next Thanksgiving dinner.
If it came with a receipt, return it.
This is pretty simple. If the person who gave you this gift was thoughtful enough to include a gift receipt, you can either swap it out for something you want, or get cash back and treat yourself to a nice dinner.
If it didn't come with a receipt, do some research.
Google the brand and model number, and see what listings pop up for it. Even if you can't be sure exactly where the unwanted gift is from, it might not matter. Lots of stores allow returns without receipts, so as long as the product in question is unused and in good condition. Check for your item at these stores in particular, which all have a reputation for being great with returns and, at the very least working with receipt-less customers:
- Costco
- Home Depot
- Kohl's
- Land's End
- Lowe's
- Macy's
- Nordstrom
- Office Depot/OfficeMax
- Target
- TJ Maxx
- Walmart
- Zappo's
Sell it online.
If you can't find a store to offer you a refund, sell your unwanted gifts online to someone who will actually appreciate them! You'll get money back that you can spend on something you actually want, or use to pay down some of that pesky wedding debt. It's pretty easy to find online buyers for anything from small kitchen appliances to handmade squirrel taxidermy. The internet is a weird, weird place, and if you need help traversing the world of online sales, check out our comprehensive how-to guide for new sellers for eBay, Amazon, Etsy, Facebook and Craigslist.
Swap it out for something better using a bartering site.
Take a step back to the days of olde by listing your unwanted gifts on a bartering site. There are quite a few out there that allow users to make trades with each other, so you can swap out your weird presents with stuff you want and need. While it might be a little more complicated than a simple buy/sell transaction, getting good at navigating bartering sites is one of those life skills that will likely pay off in the future. Here are a few options to look into if you're interested:
If it's a gift card, swap it out for cash on a gift card exchange site.
If you received a gift card to a store you never shop at, gift card exchange sites are going to be your new BFF. Instead of letting that money languish for years in a side drawer, swap it out for a card from a store you like, or sell it for cold, hard cash. We wrote an in-depth breakdown of our favorite gift card exchange services last December, but here's a good list to start with:
Give it away.
If all else fails, donate your unwanted gifts to someone in need. Check out the Buy Nothing Project if you're having trouble finding a good home for certain things. They're a worldwide social movement dedicated to connecting people who need certain with those who are giving them away. There are now more than 1,300 Buy Nothing Project community groups around the world, and I'd venture a guess there's one in your area. Check them out and you can make sure the gifts you don't want to go a good home, and maybe even find something you can snatch up for free!

Major boost to Ulinzi Stars as midfielder returns after six weeks
Ulinzi Stars midfielder, Enosh Ochieng may be available for selection for the next round of the Kenyan Premier League match against Kariobangi Sharks.
Ochieng who scored the first goal of the 2018 season in a 4 2 victory over Zoo FC in the opening match of the season but he couldn't finish the game after picking the injury.
Ochieng has missed six league matches since then and his availability will be a big boost to coach Dunstan Nyaudo who dropped two points at home last weekend against Posta Rangers.
Editors' Picks
"I am now back to full training, but of course the six weeks out have been tough for me. I am now facing a situation where I have to start afresh, but I am ready to go the extra mile. I will give my best to get my place back in the team.
"The international break comes at a good time for me because I have the space to work harder and try to get back to the team," Ochieng was quoted by the club website.
Ulinzi Stars are two places and one point behind Sharks who are lying sixth on the log with 12 points.

Experts suggest taking a critical look at segmented demand, competitive sets and guest behavior to perfect the practice.
REPORT FROM THE U.S.—Hotel pricing strategies used to be fairly simple: in slow times hoteliers would drop their rate and in busy times they'd raise them.
But an increase in the availability of data coupled with number-crunching technology and smarter human strategies has made the practice of pricing much more complex. On a recent webinar hosted by the Hospitality Sales and Marketing Association International, experts discussed the context revenue managers need to consider when they're pricing hotel rooms.
Internal factors
Contrary to old-school beliefs, lowering rate does not typically create demand, said Jon Eliot, VP of revenue management for Premier Hospitality Management.
Eliot said understanding supply and demand trends is critical to pricing rooms and that forecasting future demand is a highly complex practice. Hoteliers need to understand demand by segment, he said, so they can price rooms accordingly.
"Know what is already booked and gauge what is expected to book," he said. "There are opportunities where a change in pricing may not affect what you can and cannot sell. In fact, there are times it could be detrimental."
How far out hoteliers change their prices can affect their ability to optimize revenue, Eliot said, because different segments have different booking windows.
"Understand how (travelers) book so you don't price them out," he said. "Don't discount when they would've come anyway."
Eliot said it's important to have data to help make these decisions. Rely on data rather than anecdotal events, he said.
"It's much easier to make these decisions if you know what market segment the business is going to come from," he said. "For example, a lot of people don't understand that less than 10% of demand on average comes from (online travel agencies)."
Eliot suggested challenging your property-management system vendor and brand to offer access to the customer data they have.
Chris Crenshaw, VP of strategic development at HotelNewsNow.com parent company STR, said it's important to have data hoteliers can use to make decisions rather than a wealth of useless data.
Study the competition
An important factor to consider when making pricing decisions is how the competition—the hotels in your market—will respond. Therefore determining which hotels truly compete is critical to making pricing decisions, said Jim Rozell, founder and CEO of data analytics company Hotel Compete.
If one hotel raises or lowers its prices and hotels nearby don't follow suit, it might be time to reconsider which hotels comprise its competitive set, he said.
"Look at the demand drivers in the market and ask yourself, 'How many days do I align with these guys?'" Rozell said.
He said price is a hotel's "attribute," similar to Wi-Fi or concierge services, and should be included in the mix when determining the proper competitive set. Also, consider hotels that have similar group and meeting facilities. Brand recognition, loyalty programs and review scores are other things hotels don't often consider, but should, when assessing their competition, he said.
"Pressure to align myself with competitors I can't price against is a major pitfall," Rozell said. "If someone higher in the food chain says we should be competing with this hotel down the street, you need to be confident enough to say why we can't compete with them and what we need to do to be able to do to compete with them."
Guest factors
Better understanding the guest and the reason the guest is traveling also is critical to correctly pricing hotel rooms. Marco Benvenuti, co-founder and chief analytics and product officer for Duetto Research, said OTAs are doing a much better job than hotel suppliers at this.
"Guests are becoming far more experiential in their travel," he said. "At any touch point you should be able to ask or gather what the purpose of the trip is."
Benvenuti also said hotels don't do enough experimentation with price and, when they do, they don't collect the right information or the right data from the experiment.
"Even when demand is low you shouldn't offer lowest possible rate," he said. "If you have enough demand to fill 60% to 70% of your rooms, lowering the rate won't make your phone ring."
He said last-minute shoppers still may be price insensitive and willing to pay full rate, they just are part of a growing number of people who book travel later.
Benvenuti suggested using "fences" to segment customers and price correctly. Having customers login to a supplier website for the best rate is a simple fence that still complies with rate parity agreements, he said.
"Try to experiment with different customers," he said.

By chance, cleaning through my unread emails, I stumbled across notes and pictures for a post I had planned for nearly a year ago and for some reason never published. It struck me that it could very nearly have been something I wrote just this week. There wasn't much written, just two rough paragraphs, but it did come with a nice collection of pictures. Here is what would have been, from November 4th, 2017:
There's no doubt that dealing with the side effects of cancer treatment can be perplexing. Patients deal with everything from digestive issues to pain to total hair loss to fatigue to stiff joints.
One of the hardest things many chronically ill patients face is that moment when they realize they must ask for help. Why is that so hard? We live in a society that values self-reliance to the point, one might argue, that it becomes dogmatic. If you require assistance, you're a taker. Everyone should be self-sufficient — or at least privileged enough to be able to rely on assets they may or may not have truly earned. But clearly, we cannot all be that fortunate, and certainly not all of the time. Reaching out for help should not be stigmatized. And one way to normalize the process is simply by practicing.
It is time for my monthly Self- Care Challenge, as an ambassador for the Health Storylines self-care program. This month, the challenge is to Just Ask. Every day, without being gratuitous, find something that you genuinely need assistance with and ask for it. Continue reading Self-Care Challenge: Just Ask
I was told twice in one day this week that I looked "bright." I was smiling and active, keeping myself busy and directed, and I was surrounded by people who I had not seen in several months (along with a few I had never seen at all). It was the good nature of reconnecting in a friendly crowd without the threat of being lost in it, I imagine, that sparked my particularly good mood on that occasion. The description was used again on subsequent days by unrelated people, causing me to take note that, perhaps, the whites of my eyes have simply become whiter. (Insert your own Revolutionary War joke here.) Continue reading To Clear or Not to Clear
I have tried to gather a few different perspectives on what it feels like to die or go through the process of dying, including my lengthy interview with Michael March just prior to his death not long after I met him online. Below, I present a different perspective entirely from Claire Wineland, a Cystic Fibrosis patient who had been advocating about her disease for quite some time. It is a video I found on YouTube that she uploaded a while back, explaining her own experience with technically dying on a number of occasions from complication arising from her disease.
