Retail Industry Analysis
- Introduction
- About FranklinCovey
- Being different than most other competing products
- The pricing strategies and non-pricing approaches
- Conclusion
- Works cited
The retail industry is flooded with products and services, all vying for market share and revenue. In order to succeed, the different firms must carefully understand and analyze the market they are in. They must ask questions about their rivals and the structure of the industry, as well as make decisions regarding pricing and non-pricing strategies. FranklinCovey is a firm that sells planning systems for mostly business professionals, in the market of planners/organizers. They compete with other well-known brands such as At-a-Glance and DayRunner, yet there are characteristics that set them apart. During my observation of this firm, I came across distinctive elements of the industry and its overall structure, and made note of their various pricing and non-pricing strategies.
[...] http://www.forio.com/pcpricesim.htm Market share is achieved with the ?prospector strategy', gaining share with new product development. At FranklinCovey, I noticed a new line of products for the Spring. They come out with new binders and bags in colors of the season, allowing variety and innovation of design for the consumer. FranklinCovey is, from what I observed, an analyzer. Meaning, they look at the market and expand into existing markets by making improvements on their existing products and providing a balanced portfolio. [...]
[...] These features set this firm apart from the typical structure of the industry. Alongside the pricing strategies are non-pricing approaches. Rerffering back to the ?competitive landscape?, these non-pricing elements are heavily influenced by the motivation of the customers to shop at FranklinCovey, as opposed to the competitors. They pride themselves on service. The store is small, providing an intimate atmoshpere. Displays include samples of all products offered, in all sizes. This allows the customer to ask questions and make informed decions about their purchases, versus the colder, less informative Staples where all the pages are either wrapped or tossed hap-hazardly into a display.

Are you a UK employer with an annual pay bill over £3m?
Announced by the Chancellor in the 2016 Autumn Statement, the Apprenticeship Levy is expected to supplement Government Apprenticeship funding by raising £3bn annually.
The Levy will require you to make an investment into apprenticeships, from which you can benefit by training existing employees or new recruits and by bringing high level professional and technical skills to your business.
It will be calculated based on total employee earnings, not including other payments such as benefit in kind. Every employer will receive a £15,000 allowance to offset the costs, which means that only 2% of employers will pay.
Even with just a small percentage of employers contributing, the Government anticipates raising £3bn annually through the Levy.
Employers will be allocated funding via a digital voucher system, which can be used to purchase training from providers, giving them more choice and control over the training offered to apprentices. Ensuring that you make the right choice, and are informed in making that choice, will be important.
The Facts:
- If you are a UK employer with a payroll bill that exceeds £3m, you must pay the Apprenticeship Levy.
- The Levy applies to England only and comes into effect in April 2017.
- The Levy rate is 0.5% of your total annual pay bill (gross) and is paid through PAYE.
- Your pay bill will be based on the total amount of earnings subject to Class 1 secondary National Insurance Contributions (NICs).
- You will be required to contribute regardless of whether you train apprentices or not.
- You will have a Levy allowance of £15,000 per year to offset against the Levy you pay.
- You will receive a 10% monthly top-up from the government to any funds that you already have for spending on apprenticeship training.
- Once you have paid the Levy to HMRC, you will be able to access funding for apprenticeships through the new Digital Apprenticeship Service. Any money reclaimed will be in the form of an e-voucher where you'll be able to buy apprenticeship training from approved providers.
- Levy funding in an employer's digital apprenticeship account will expire in 24 months.
- Non-levy paying employers won't use the Digital Apprenticeship Service to pay for training until 2018.
- Non-levy paying employers will make a 5% contribution to the cost of training and the government will pay the rest (95%).
- Every apprenticeship standard and framework will be placed in 1 of 15 funding bands, which will outline the maximum amount that can be used towards training and assessment costs over the length of each apprenticeship.
- There are extra employer incentive payments available for employing 16-18 year olds.
We are here to help!
If you need any help, support or simply some clarification, please do not hesitate to get in touch with the LEAD team. We hold regular Levy Breakfast Seminars, have supporting literature and funding experts who can help explain.

I was inspired to create my latest piece after watching the show Ghost Hunters. I'll admit it I'm addicted to the show I even watched the Ghost Hunters Academy. Watching reruns I started thinking about how long people have been trying to communicate with the dead and my Spiritualist's Cabinet was born. :)

Death Becomes Her
I was able to work outside for a bit today (at least until my hands got to numb to continue) But I came up with a new idea and finished painting the shrine structure for it. If it stays sunny I'll be able to finish it tomorrow. It's going to be a small shrine of Lady Death. Of course Death is a very proper Victorian Lady. I'm having fun coming up with the details. Can't wait to finish it.

Love, Lust and Monsters
My first post on my first blog! I've had time to make this page since the weather is keeping me indoors away from my workspace. Instead of getting my craft on I've been writing. I'm working on some new poems for a zine I hope to finish soon. I'm aiming for a Valentine's theme of Love, Lust and Monsters.

3 Ways to Furnish Your Home on the Cheap
When you first move into a new home it can be really tempting to start racking up debt on purchases such as new sofas, dining tables, fridge freezers or even smaller items such as curtains and rugs. If you turn to credit to buy these items then it can feel like you're not really spending that much at all, until you have to start making the repayments that is!
Do you really need to spend this much, though, or is there another way? We think that there are several other ways to furnish your new home on the cheap but here are just 3 for you to consider.
Hunting for Freebies
Have you ever given an item of furniture away to a friend, family member or even to a complete stranger? I know that I have and you probably have too. This is because people are always changing or upgrading things in their home and often times people can't be bothered with the hassle of having to sell them, or perhaps they just want to do a good deed by giving an item of furniture away to someone in need. These days, there are full websites like Freecycle on the web or even local groups on Facebook which specialise in connecting people who have free items to give away, with those who are looking to get hold of some free stuff. Don't just assume that all of the items being given away will be rubbish either, as there are some really great freebies to be had if you keep looking on these sites regularly. You might need to hire a van or perhaps use a courier service such as Shiply to be able to move some larger items like furniture, for example, but you can still make big savings by kitting out your home this way. If you know someone with a van who wouldn't mind giving you a hand, of course, then this would be even better!
Making Your Own Stuff
Making your own items of furniture might sound like a crazy idea at first, but you'd be surprised at how many people are starting to do just that. Quite a few of my friends have taken ideas from sites like Pinterest and made items of furniture out of things like old pallets or disused scaffolding boards which they've managed to pick up for free! If you take a little time to read or watch some online tutorials, then it is amazing how pretty much anybody can learn how to make fantastic looking pieces of furniture in basically no time at all. If you're handy with a sewing machine then you can also pick up some cheap fabric and make your own curtains, cushion covers and other home accessories. If you've never sewn before then don't panic, as a few YouTube videos could be all that you need to set you on your way in this area.
Making the most of What's Already There
The first thing you may want to do when you move into your new place is to head to the carpet shop to look for some new carpets or laminate flooring, right? Do you really need to, though? Or are there some other options? Have you ripped up the old carpet yet, for example, to see what lies beneath it? You might discover that the floorboards are in good shape and are able to be sanded down and then varnished or painted. This could save you a lot of money on expensive flooring. Who knows, you might even stumble across some old parquet flooring that will make you the envy of your friends and family when they come to visit.
We can see then that furnishing a new home doesn't have to cost you a fortune. If you are able to be a little bit inventive or don't mind doing a little online research then there are plenty of areas where you can save money, perhaps by picking up some free stuff, or even by getting creative with what you have around you.
Do you have any tips for furnishing a home on the cheap?

Earlier in the week we had the great idea to go to Magic Kingdom and see if we could hit EVERY ride in the park. We would get there at the elusive rope drop and run through the park with the sun shining and the children being happy and agreeable the whole way!
And then reality hit.
We had also realized that Kid #2 was tall enough for Space Mountain and told her that we had a surprise for her on our trip because surprises are fun. I should know better that to tell this child that there is a surprise coming because she is just like me and cannot sleep when she knows something is coming. Proof – She woke my husband up at midnight and 1am for a drink of water. Then woke me up at 3am for a drink and 4:15 because she had woken up Kid #3 and they were yapping away. What the heck! My alarm was already set for 5:45 (8am park openings are rough).
Through blurry eyes and loud children yielding frozen waffles and bananas we made it out the door on time to stop for gas and coffee. For once we were going to make it to rope drop…but then the gas pump wasn't working, they didn't have breakfast sandwiches, and the attendant was less than pleasant so we had to go to a second gas station before hitting the highway.
We didn't make it. 😦
We were on Disney property when the Opening Show was going on, but we just couldn't get there in time…however, we walked through the gate at roughly 8:05am and bolted straight to Seven Dwarfs.
The posted wait time was 30 minutes, but I am pretty sure that they list that at park open. It took us no more than 15 minutes from the time we stepped in line to getting off the ride. What a great way to start the day.
Then we headed to Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, but were distracted by a 15 minute wait for Peter Pan. We hopped in line. This was our first time ever going through the line because we usually grab a FP+. The line is ADORABLE and is the perfect set up to the ride. In fact, I think I appreciate the ride more after waiting in the line. I wish I would have been able to get some pictures, but we were really only in line 5 minutes.
After our ride to Neverland and back we made it to Big Thunder and were able to ride it twice because the wait was only 5 minutes! We were going to jump on Splash Mountain since we were there, but it wasn't open. I'm not sure if it was because it was early, or something was going on, but the big drop didn't have water on it and there were some alarms going off. We decided to come back later.
Space Mountain (and Kid #2's surprise) was next up on our list. Hubs took the big kids while Kid #3 treated me to my first ever trip on the Astro Orbiter. I am NOT a fan. I don't to heights well and I kept feeling like I was going to slip out of my rocket…not cool. The view, however, was pretty cool.
We decided to do a switch since the Space Mountain wait was still only 10 minutes and I took the big kids and Hubs took the little guy on the Tomorrowland Speedway.
I know it is cliche, but I love Space Mountain! I am well aware that it isn't actually an impressive ride with the lights on, but when you don't know what's coming it's awesome.
Now, friends, this is about where we started to loose traction for our "Ride Every Ride" Challenge. We decided that we needed to pick a spot and just circle the park to be more efficient so we started with the Circus.
Our family loves the quick and easy Barnstormer. I don't know why, but we do. The ride is no longer than 30 seconds, but sometimes that's all you need. We got in the 20 minute wait line knowing it would only be about 10, but then the line stopped moving…and the ride stopped running. Soon they made the announcement that the ride was down and they did not know how long it would be until it came back up. We gave the kids a snack, but after a few minutes decided to get out of line and head over to Dumbo.
Insert meltdown here.
I won't get into the gory details of the meltdowns that occurred (ain't nobody got time for that) but just know that this was about where we gave up on hitting every ride in the park. We decided to hit the rides we had FP+ reservations for (Haunted Mansion, Pirates of the Caribbean, and Jungle Cruise) plus a few more, have a little snack, and play a round of Sorcerer's of the Magic Kingdom and then after dinner we would decide whether to go home, or try to stick it out for a few more rides.
Ahhh dinner. Earlier in the week when we decided to go to the park I was supposed to make a ADR (advanced dining reservation) for dinner. I was having trouble with my phone when the decision was made so I planned to do it later. I forgot. We got to dinner time and had no dinner reservation. BOOOO. You can't walk in anywhere at Magic Kingdom. There are just too many people vying for those reservations…so we monorailed over to Epcot. I love dinner at Epcot.
The longer you read this blog, the more you will notice a pattern…we almost always go to Epcot for dinner. The food is just fricking amazing that we just can't help ourselves. Oh, and you can almost always walk in and get a table. We have only been turned down once, and that was on date night at Le Cellier during Food and Wine so we were silly to think we would get in. I digress.
We bolted straight to dinner at Nine Dragons and were not disappointed.
After dinner I completed a Agent P mission with the big kids while hubs took Kid #3 on the Grand Fiesta Tour (a MUST in the Mexico Pavillion). We then we went to Spaceship Earth were I sat through the entire ride in a language I did not understand compliments of my daughter's pinkie brushing the screen.
Once we returned to the present day I insisted on a park departure treat of ice cream. It had been years since I had a Mickey ice cream bar…it was time. This also helped quiet everyone since we were leaving relatively early and still had to monorail over to the Transportation and Ticket Center (TTC).
So there you have it. We attempted to do all of Magic Kingdom, only to be thwarted by our own planning. Whoops! Have you ever ridden every ride at Magic Kingdom, or any other amusement park, all in one day? How do you deal with meltdowns (from kids or adults) while at the park? Tell us below, and make sure to check out our NEW weekly podcast!

Gemella Wines
The Beginning
The discussion surfaced on a spring evening over dinner with the Buoncristiani family and friends. When were the Buoncristiani brothers going to finally make a white wine?!! Kristin, lead by her desire for the same, inspired Jay Buoncristiani to take on this project with her, and Gemella was born.
Inspiration for Our Name
Derived from the Italian phrase, "L'Anima Gemella" which means soul mate, the name Gemella also signifies the small gem-like vineyard blocks where we sourced the fruit for these new offerings. Like precious gems (a clue to the pronunciation of Gemella), the fruit that made these rare handcrafted wines came from some very extraordinary vineyards.
Jay Buoncristiani - Former winemaker for The Hess Collection and now a consultant winemaker in the Napa Valley, Jay has truly made his mark in the wine industry as the winemaker for Buoncristiani Family Winery. The wines he crafts with his brothers have been very well received by the press, garnering scores from 91 to 93 points from Wine Spectator. Although Jay has made many whites previously, Gemella becomes the first white wine project under his own label, co-owned with Kristin.
Kristin Buoncristiani – Captivated with the Viognier variety, Kristin is the source of inspiration for the Gemella project. As the former Trade Manager for the Hess Collection and now a marketing consultant, she is involved in the wine industry on many different levels. Her insight is invaluable and her experience will help ensure a solid relationship between Gemella Wines and you.

5 Reasons Why Actors Can Make Great TV Hosts
Unlike actors, TV hosts have to be one hundred percent themselves on camera. They absolutely cannot "act" like a host, or their career will be a short one. That is one of the biggest challenges for any performer looking to break into the hosting industry. But the good news is that actors have so many traits in common

That is until the charity Meet Each Need with Dignity (MEND) brightened her holiday spirit.
Menacho joined many other families at the charity Thursday morning in Pacoima to pick out toys for their children.
"I think what they're doing is great because it helps families like myself that need help that can't do what they need to for the holidays. If this wasn't available right now, my kids wouldn't be having anything for Christmas," Menacho said.
"Definitely awesome I mean it lessens our stress for Christmas. I cannot give this place enough thanks for the help they've assisted us with," said MEND participant Holly Rodreguez.
MEND officials said that in the 40 years the charity has been around, the need has never been greater than now. The toys were donated to the charity by the community. Officials said they are grateful but still need help this holiday.
"We are very short on gifts for kids ages 10 to 14 and we need them by Sunday. Sunday is the last day we will be distributing Christmas baskets," said MEND President and CEO Marianne Haver Hill.
MEND officials said over the next four days they will help some 6,000 people this holiday, which is a 40 percent increase in the number of people they helped just three years ago.
"We've had several of our programs that have increased by 400 percent in the last three years because people are out of work, lost their homes and other economic tragedies that have happened to them," said Haver Hill.
MEND is not only providing gifts for children, but boxes of food as well.
"If MEND wasn't around my family would definitely be suffering tremendously from not having gifts and food on the table and MEND just brings a big part of Christmas to our family today," participant Richard Rodreguez said.

In a recent conversation with a patient, she inquired about what the best scenario for her children would be during summer vacation.
I told her about my personal decision to ensure that my teenage daughter attended a structured summer program every summer. I told her of the many benefits an experience like that would have for children, including more physical and mental activity, the opportunity to develop more self-confidence by participating in the structured challenges, and the opportunity for them to gain greater social skills through daily activities with peers and instructors outside of the traditional classroom setting.
The mom then told me of her children's "shyness," and how uncomfortable she felt about sending her children into a new environment. She asked if it was a good idea to just allow her children to use the summer as an opportunity to rest.
I immediately reflected on a lecture I heard while attending a medical conference. The presenter spoke of many studies that overwhelmingly concluded that children who are not academically active during the summer months lose months of reading and math skills. The lecturer stated that this was found at a disproportionately greater prevalence for children from low-income families, who were statistically more likely to not enroll their children in structured summer programs due to a lack of resources. He quoted the old saying, "If you don't use it, you lose it!"
The National Summer Learning Association refers to that phenomenon as "summer learning loss." On its website, summerlearning.org, the NSLA states that this is one of the most significant causes of the achievement gap between lower- and higher-income youth and one of the strongest contributors to the high-school dropout rate. This organization adds that for many young people, the summer "opportunity gap" contributes to gaps in achievement, employment, and college and career success.
Multiple sources state that multiple studies have found that students on average score lower on standardized tests at the end of the summer than they do at the beginning of the summer. The NSLA also addresses the consistency of healthy meals, in that children receive strategically healthier meals while in school versus being left home all day and being allowed to choose their own meals, with limited healthy options in many scenarios.
I then told my patient about other patients who came in for summer visits due to sickness or general physical exams over the last 10 years.
Overwhelmingly, I recalled that students were more optimistic, energetic and had an overall happier disposition when they said that they were actively participating in summer programs. For many of my student patients who were not participating in those programs, they reported boredom, and the parents of these students reported higher rates of their kids "getting into trouble."
After our discussion, the patient told me that she could see the benefits to getting her kids into a summer program, but informed me that she had limited financial resources. I told her that there were many state- and government-funded programs available. Good resources for those are the Jackson Public Schools website at Jackson.k12.ms.us or the City of Jackson website at jacksonms.gov.
Remember that our kids deserve our best to help them pass tests.

Slip on Long sleeves
As we all know, sunlight is the main source of UV rays, while the UV rays will lead to the skin cancer, but you don't have to avoid the sun completely. So the simplest way is wearing long-sleeved clothes when you go outdoors. Pants and a long-sleeved shirt shield your body from the sun's rays. Also, you can just put a coat inside your shirt, but maybe you will feel hot. And remember the darker colors protect skin better than light ones.
Wrap on sunglasses
It is the key to protect your eyes with sunglasses that filter UVA and UVB rays. And we cannot just choose the chic appearance. The real UV-blocking sunglasses will protect the delicate skin around the eyes, as well as the eyes themselves. Research has shown that long hours in the sun without protecting your eyes increase your chances of developing certain eye diseases.
Slap on a Hat
Needless to say, many girls use sunscreen every day, even in the rainy day, but it will be easy to volatilize. When you go out, the hat is necessary. Baseball hat is a hot hat among the girls, but if you travel or go to beach, you'd better with at least a 2- to 3-inch brim all around, because it can protect areas that are often exposed to intense suns, such as the ears, eyes, forehead, nose, and scalp.
Wear cover up on the beach
In the summer, there are lots of hot girls in bikini. It actually is charming and lovely. But the UV rays also are stronger. How to keep our chicness and protect our skin? Except for slopping on sunscreen, the cover-ups are undeniably important. It can protect your body from direct UV rays and make you look like a fairy, flow and mysterious.

Ford's EcoBoost Establishes a Beachhead

Ford Motor Company launched a new powertrain technology called EcoBoost earlier in 2010. EcoBoost will eventually be available on 90% of Ford's lineup in the USA. The first EcoBoost installations are in Ford's new D3 Platform vehicles – Ford Taurus SHO, Lincoln MKS, Lincoln MKT, and Ford Flex. EcoBoost's first installation is a 3.5L V6 with gasoline direct injection and twin turbochargers. Power output on the Taurus SHO is 365HP while on the MKS, MKT and Flex is 355. The EcoBoost 3.5L has 350lb-ft of torque. These technology advancements yield substantially better performance while achieving equivalent fuel economy as a vehicle equipped with a non-EcoBoost 3.5L (of course this is only on paper. EcoBoost is so fun to drive you'll be in it all the time – achieving equal fuel economy is just a dream).
EcoBoost a $5,000 Proposition Anyway, EcoBoost is not free. A Taurus SHO is almost $40,000 and the price increase for EcoBoost on the MKT, MKS and Flex comes out to about $5,000. That price includes all wheel drive which EcoBoost requires to handle the power and torque on the front wheel drive platform. So, with the power and price increase, how many is Ford selling?
EcoBoost Installations Running Ahead of Forecast According to George Pipas, Ford's spokesman for sales reporting and arcane numbers, the Taurus SHO now represents about 15% of the Taurus lineup. This is 5%-pts higher than Ford had estimated. Each Taurus SHO generates $10,000 more economic profit than an average Taurus. Installation rate on the Lincoln MKT is 47%. About 30% of Lincoln MKS gets EcoBoost (and 37% gets AWD). The Flex has about an 11% rate lowest of the four.
So, it appears that EcoBoost is well on its way to being a success even in these tough economic times. In each vehicle line, with the possible exception of Flex, the installation rate is healthy for a performance option. It will be interesting to see what the mix is of EcoBoost engines as Ford continues to roll the technology across its vehicle lines.

Cadillac is introducing the next generation of its V-Series. The all-new Cadillac ATS-VR high performance car will be competing in 2015 after its debut at the country's most happening racing venue at the Circuit of the Americas. The ATS-VR is the racing version of the new Cadillac ATS-V Coupe and is set to arrive this 2016. The first coupe model will mark Cadillac's years of experience in the V-Series.
Both the ATS-V sedan and the ATS-V Coupe will be launched this week at the Los Angeles Auto Show. Boasting up to 600hp, the ATS-VR is also compliant to the FIA GT3 specifications. This raises its potential to compete among the 30 different GT series worldwide.
The GT3 class represents a unique set of specification for racecars. Other brands competing in this elite racing event are Porsche, MacLaren, Lamborghini, Ferrari, BMW, Bentley, Audi and Aston Martin.
Cadillac's president Johan de Nysschen shared his thoughts on the V-Series and said that it is Cadillac's highest expression of rising product material. Therefore, expanding and elevating it would help in its global potentials just like the inclusion of GT3 specification.
Part of the modifications for the GT3 specs includes the redesigned fenders, FIA-specified tyre sizes, new aero kit, dive planes and carbon front splitter.
Cadillac ATS-VR comes with the LF4.R's V6 engine with displacement of 3.6 liters, the same version found on the highly acclaimed Cadillac CTS Vsport model. However, there are several upgrades done to meet the GT3 specs such as BorgWarner enlarged twin turbochargers, intercoolers with increased capacity, direct side-exiting exhaust and competition engine management. Also, the ATS-VR's lightweight aluminum components give it a more balanced weight distribution both for the rear and at the front.
Cadillac racecar driver Andy Pilgrim remarked how the ATS-VR sounds like and how much he loved how it screams as if it's ripping holes in the air. He also appreciates the new paddle gear shifters as well as the engine torque's remarkable output.
Cadillac is a division of the General Motors (GM) that is engaged in the design and production of luxury vehicles. Although a division of GM, Cadillac was established from the remains of the Henry Ford Company. Henry Ford left this company along with some partners in March 1902. However, Henry M. Leland of Leland & Faulconer Manufacturing Company was able to persuade William Murphy and Lemuel Bowen to continue car manufacturing at the supposed to be liquidated plant. This led to the formation of the Cadillac Automobile Company on August 22, 1902.

Attired like MGR, TDP MP plays Tamil song in Lok Sabha
New Delhi, Jan 7: A TDP member struck an unusual note in the Lok Sabha on Monday when he played a Tamil song in the house. Naramalli Sivaprasad, known for sporting different costumes in the House, was dressed like former Tamil Nadu chief minister M G Ramachandran and held a whip in his hand.
During Question Hour, he walked into the Well and sought to flog himself. As members from other parties continued with their protests, Speaker Sumitra Mahajan adjourned the House till noon.
Grand Alliance's first meeting on seat sharing at Tejashwi's house on Monday
At the time the Speaker was adjourning proceedings, Sivaprasad switched on an audio device that played a famous Tamil film song of MGR, who was also a cine actor. After the proceedings were adjourned, some members were seen chatting with Sivaprasad while BJP member Anurag Thakur switched off the audio player.
TDP has been demanding special status for Andhra Pradesh. Many of the party's MPs were suspended from the House last week for unruly behaviour.

Sierra Leone Exports
Sierra Leone is a poor country affected by Civil War. Nearly half of the working-age population engages in subsistence agriculture. The country possesses substantial mineral, agricultural, and fishery resources, but it is still recovering from a civil war that destroyed most institutions before ending in the early 2000s.
Agriculture is the largest employer with 80 percent of the population working in the sector. Rice is the most important staple crop in Sierra Leone with 85 percent of farmers cultivating rice during the rainy season and an annual consumption of 76 kg per person.
Rich in minerals, Sierra Leone has relied on mining, especially diamonds, for its economic base. The country is among the top ten diamond producing nations. Mineral exports remain the main currency earner. Sierra Leone is a major producer of gem-quality diamonds. Though rich in diamonds, it has historically struggled to manage their exploitation and export.
Sierra Leone has one of the world's largest deposits of rutile, a titanium ore used as paint pigment and welding rod coatings.
Sierra Leone's exports have been increasing after the UN sanctions were lifted in late 2010. Sierra Leone main exports are diamonds (63 percent of total exports), cocoa, coffee, iron ore, titanium ore, rough wood and aluminium ore.
Sierra Leone main export partners are Belgium, Netherlands, France, China and United States.
Sierra Leone Imports
Sierra Leone's economy is highly dependent on mineral exploitation. Much of the formal economy of Sierra Leone was destroyed in the country's civil war. Since the end of hostilities in January 2002, massive infusions of outside assistance have helped Sierra Leone begin to recover.
Much of the recovery will depend on the success of the government's efforts to limit corruption by officials, which many feel was the chief cause for the civil war. A key indicator of success will be the effectiveness of government management of its diamond sector.
There is high unemployment, particularly among the youth and ex-combatants. Authorities have been slow to implement reforms in the civil service, and the pace of the privatization program is also slackening and donors have urged its advancement.
The currency is the leone. The central bank is the Bank of Sierra Leone. Sierra Leone operates a floating exchange rate system, and foreign currencies can be exchanged at any of the commercial banks, recognized foreign exchange bureau and most hotels. Credit card use is limited in Sierra Leone, though they may be used at some hotels and restaurants.
Sierra Leone main imports are machinery and transport equipment (50 percent of total imports), fuel, rice, refined petroleum, packaged medicaments, large construction vehicles and excavation machinery, foodstuffs.
Sierra Leone's main import partners are Guinea, Ivory Coast, India, the United Kingdom, China and South Africa.

Sierra Leone is a country situated in West Africa, bordered by Guinea, Liberia and the Atlantic Ocean. Sierra Leone is a member of the United Nations, African Union, Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS), Commonwealth of Nations, the African Development Bank and other international organizations.
Sierra Leone applies a MFN treatment to all its trading partners. The average MFN tariff, including the excise tax and ECOWAS levy, is 14.9%. The average applied MFN tariff for industrial products is 13.5% and 16.5% for agricultural imports.
Import duties are ad valorem, levied on the c.i.f. (cost, insurance, and freight) value of goods. There aren't seasonal customs duties, tariff quotas or variables levies.
The customs tariff consists of 7 rates:0%, 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, 25%, and 30%, with the highest duties applied to final consumer goods.
Sierra Leone applies the ECOWAS supplementary duty of 0.5%, which is levied only on imports from third countries. Sierra Leone also applies an excise tax of 30% on certain imports and a sales tax of 17.5% on both domestic and foreign products.
Product certification and labelling
Imported products must be accompanied by a certificate of origin.
A special permit, issued by the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Food Security, is required for the importation of plants, seeds, soil and other imports mixed with soil.
The importation of arms and ammunition and explosives is restricted.
A phytosanitary/fumigation certificate has to be issued by the Ministry of Agriculture and Food. The Ministry charges a fee for fumigating the goods, as well as for issuing the certificate.
Gold and diamonds are subject to export licensing requirements.
A special permit issued by the Ministry of Agriculture and Natural Resources is required for the exportation of plants and charcoal.
Exporters of textile and apparel articles are required to register with the Ministry of Trade and Industry. A textile certificate of origin and a visa for textile and apparel articles that originate in and are exported from Sierra Leone is mandatory and is issued by the Commissioner General.
Sierra Leone has no special marking, labelling, or packaging requirements other than the Price Tag Order 1956, which requires traders to display prices on the shelves to help reduce the exploitation of vulnerable or illiterate citizen, and the Weights and Measures Act 1961.1.
Documents for customs clearances
The main documents required for customs clearance are:
- a clear report of findings and an import duty report
- a bill of entry
- commercial invoices
- phytosanitary/fumigation certificate
- certificate of origin
- combined certificate of value and origin, and import declaration
- packing list
- special certificate for goods such as medicine, caustic soda, and salt
- insurance certificate.
Sierra Leone requires pre-shipment inspection of imports.

Of the five areas of contamination in the Basin, the Baldwin Park Operable Unit (BPOU) is considered the most significant because of the geographic size and degree of contamination. For this reason, the United States Environmental Protection Agency prioritized this area for investigation back in the late 1980's. By 1994, there was a general consensus on the technical approach including a financial arrangement whereby sales from the water produced by the treatment plant would be used to offset the costs of the project. However, just as designs were being prepared, the discovery of perchorate prompted a complete reevaluation of cleanup plans.
In 1999, due to the critical need for immediate action, the San Gabriel Basin Water Quality Authority (WQA), the Main San Gabriel Basin Watermaster (Watermaster) and the Upper San Gabriel Valley Municipal Water District joined resources and began implementation of the plan by constructing the first facility to treat both perchlorate and n-nitrosodimethylamine for drinking water at the La Puente Valley County Water District (LPVCWD) well site. Following the success of the LPVCWD project, WQA prescribed additional early actions that built on the LPVCWD project development model.
In 2002, eight of the 20 BPOU Potentially Responsible Parties entered into a comprehensive project agreement with WQA, Watermaster and local purveyors to fund the prescribed 22,000 gpm cleanup. The agreement formed the BPOU Project Committee which meets monthly to manage the projects.
As of 2007, the construction of the various projects is mostly complete and the Project Committee is looking at ways to optimize and reduce the 30-year operating costs with emerging technologies.
For additional information, please see Appendix A in WQA's Groundwater Quality Management and Remediation Plan (406 Plan).

"Perhaps I should have said...like a father..." Garrioch shrugged, lifting his palms upward as he did so. Whatever he was about to say was interrupted by a stream of language followed by the words "not my father!"
"Oh come now, child, is that any way to speak of your uncle and last living blood relative?" The girl flushed again, ready to retaliate, but seemed a bit hurt that he'd pointed out something she'd only recently discovered for herself. She drew herself back up to height and firmly retorted, "Doesn't matter. You're a liar and a thief and I want nothing to do with you."
"Nothing at all? Are you sure you wouldn't want to turn me in to Commander Logan for more brownie points?"
Rosamund sputtered and turned away to keep from killing the man the Snakecharms had rescued. This was fortunate, as she then noticed Reticyn climbing into the golem she was working on. "Hey! That is not for you! Get out of...hey easy now. C'mon!" Spike didn't appreciate her approach and was now monopolizing the young engineer's attention.
"Now do you see what I mean about her needing taken care of? She's moony over Logan Thackeray. Not only is he a Seraph, a group I detest with all my little black heart, but he's definitely not the type to be interested in a small-town girl – among other things." He raised his eyebrows as if to suggest the list was too long and the Ranger likely already knew everything that was on it.
Garroch was half-turned to speak confidentially to Anakita, keeping the conversation decidedly away from the person in question. "My biggest fear is that she'll throw her life away and become a Seraph just because she has a crush. She's built for better stuff than that. I may have chosen a different path than my brother, but I know exactly what she's made of. I was hoping that you might be able to show her that there's another way to make a life. Get her out of this dump, if you can. And for pity's sake, get someone to teach her some proper language." He barked a laugh, not that the Engineer could have heard him over her current raging.
Rosamund was now fighting with Spike for control of her spanner, which she had unwisely wielded as a weapon against the giant lizard. Spike was clearly toying with her, which only made her angrier. Sparks were flying out of the golem. Garroch looked upon the sight and said with a smile, "Nothing like a good distraction, eh?"
At that moment, the golem whirred to life, joints glowing red and threats spurting haltingly from its voice box. Reticyn began hollering, but his words were unintelligible over the clanging and whirring and hissing of the golem. Rosamund dropped the wrench, as did Spike, and rolled to the side of her shed for the rifle leaning against the workbench.
Garroch was already gone.

Over the years EcuaDeb & sissopolis often mentioned the PCT and WILD. We even hiked on a small snow covered section last year.
I was surprised to see on the gc.com map that the PCT runs through Vasquez Rocks Natural Area Park (where Captain Kirk fought the Gorn). And that there is a string of 9 PCT caches just outside the park on the other (S) side of the 14 fwy. We set a date and kept it.
Here's the ubiquitous rock at the parking lot.
Immediately out of the lot we were on the PCT. It was mid morning but we sensed that it was going to be hot. We found several caches. Some were new to me and Deb and all were new to siss.
A muggle couple asked us for directions. They had no idea of where they were going, no map, no water, no equipment and they weren't dressed for the hike. We oriented them the best we could. With them safely (we hoped) away, we continued.
Then we met the first 2 of 6 muggles on the extreme other end of the spectrum. This couple from Italy and England were hiking THE ENTIRE PCT from the Mexican to Canadian borders. They were averaging 18 miles a day! We met another pair later and 2 solos. Siss & Deb informed me that those who hike the entire PCT are called "through hikers."
After cooling down under a huge shaded overhang we approached the 14 fwy and the tunnel underneath.
We stopped for more pictures before taking the plunge.
Walk along the sides. The center is where the road apples accumulate.
We found Vasquez Tunnel (GC1QA03) just outside at the other end. Ignore the ambiguous hint and you'll find the cache sooner.
Because of the switchbacks on the map, I thought that the terrain on this side of the freeway would be steep. I even told siss and Deb that I might have to stop and wait for them to find the rest of the caches. But the hike was mostly flat. And all 8 caches were easy finds. They were very close to the trail except for VR PCT #6 which was at an easily reachable rock outcrop.
Deb hid a cache Someday on the PCT (GC561ZA) .12 beyond the last one we found. Deb & siss hope to be "through hikers" someday. By then, I'll be in a motorized wheelchair van delivering supplies to them at prearranged locations.
We turned around and headed back carefully rationing our water in the now searing heat. Still, we overtook a very slow through hiker twice, before reaching the parking lot. Then we drove down the street, still on the PCT!, to Sweetwater Café where we were served ice tea in large Mason jars. They're going to have a lot of business next year when WILD is released as a movie and all the through hikers pass by.

U.S. military officials are pressing the State Department to "assert more control over" Blackwater USA, "which operates under the department's authority." "This is a nightmare," said a senior military official of the recent incident involving Blackwater. "This is going to hurt us badly. It may be worse than Abu Ghraib."
While expressing his support for international human rights yesterday at the U.N., "Bush didn't mention the U.S. prisons in Afghanistan or at Abu Ghraib and Guantanamo Bay, the U.S. practice of holding detainees for years without legal charges or access to lawyers, or the CIA's 'rendition' kidnappings of suspects abroad, all issues of concern to human rights activists around the world."
Negotiators from the United Auto Workers union and General Motors reached a tentative agreement on a groundbreaking deal early Wednesday to end a two-day old strike by 73,000 workers. The agreement "includes a historic restructuring of GM's obligations for UAW retiree health care."
Rep. Henry A. Waxman (D-CA) accused Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice of "interfering with the committee's work and preventing administration and Blackwater officials from providing pertinent information." Congress has a "constitutional prerogative" to look into the issues, he wrote, and she is "wrong to interfere with the Committee's inquiry."
"Sunni Arab extremists have begun a systematic campaign to assassinate police chiefs, police officers, other Interior Ministry officials and tribal leaders throughout Iraq, staging at least 10 attacks in 48 hours." Iraqi officials said that the attacks might well have been intended to blunt the administration's message that "surge" has succeeded in establishing security.
More than 2,000 people in Iraq are suffering from cholera, which is spreading across the country, the World Health Organization said. The spread of the disease has been accelerated by chlorine restrictions imposed on Iraq due to security concerns.
"Senate Democrats moved Tuesday to add an expanded hate-crimes ban to the defense authorization, giving them more time to court GOP votes for a new Iraq withdrawal plan but dimming the must-pass bill's chances for passage this week."
House Judiciary Committee Chairman John Conyers (D-MI) said he will "press the government for the release of a black teenager held in the 'Jena 6' case that spurred one of the biggest civil-rights demonstrations in years." "Our first responsibility is to get young Mychal Bell out of prison," he said.
And finally: The Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine has released an ad showcasing the "disturbing relationship between agribusiness contributions" and pork-barrel funding projects. In the ad, a suited man walks into a men's room with a briefcase, begins tapping his foot, and is handed cash from underneath a neighboring stall. "The next stall occupant? A giant pig, squealing." Watch it here.

Code reviews help determine the coding standards and let you improve the quality of the application at code level. Any organization that aims to make its code maintainable and easy to scale up or down should conduct code reviews.
Are you satisfied with the coding standards of your APP!
Why Code Reviews?
A code review can reveal issues such as common bugs, thread synchronization, dealing with error conditions, correct accounting for reference-counting and other potential resource leaks, security problems, and ensure that unit tests cover all code paths, error cases, and limit cases.
The Apparent Benefit of Code Reviews includes:
Reduction in Effort
Code review greatly helps reduce the effort of development, sooner the bugs are pointed out lesser it requires effort to fix them
Compliance Requirements
Security code review is a mandatory requirement for some compliance like PCI.
Protect the Company Reputation
Secure code means secure application which will help greatly in company reputation.
Cost Efficient Process
Code reviews reduce the overall cost of the development process by pointing out the bugs at the initial stage.
Enhance Quality
A comprehensive code reviews process will enhance the quality in ending results of an App/Software.
Coding Standards
Code reviews help to analyze compliance with coding standards
Our Approach
At Kualitatem we have developed a comprehensive methodology to conduct code reviews. We use peer review methodology to conduct code reviews manually. Kualitatem is an authorized partner having certified resources to deliver security code auditing services using HP Fortify static and dynamic code analyzer.
Our team is also adept at using automated code review tools such as Jstyle, Code Striker, SSW Code Auditor etc We have extensive experience in Education, Retail, Government, Media & Financial sector. As a code reviews services firm we help many of our Fortune 1000 clients to maintain the quality of their coding standards so as to ensure successful product release.
We perform code reviews to save time by catching defects before they affect other parts of the program code. Defects found during the code review can be functional problems (bugs), maintenance problems such as fragile or incomprehensible code, and traceability problems such as unnecessary features or features that don't match the requirements.
Code Reviews Process
Peer Code Review
- Follow international standard of code review.
- Follow inhouse check lists for assessment.
- Code annotation before code review
Automated Analysis
- Analysis using code review tools

Twenty Northern Ireland companies, representing over 60 per cent of the food and drink industry, will be at SIAL 2010, the world's biggest food and drink exhibition, from 17-21 October.
Seventeen of the companies are being assisted by Invest Northern Ireland to explore and develop business contacts at the international industry event, which is held in Paris every two years.
Four red meat companies – ABP, Newry, Dunbia, Dungannon, Foyle Food Group, Londonderry, and Linden Foods, Dungannon - will be showing beef, lamb and other products on a stand organised by Invest NI. They will also be meeting buyers from European supermarkets and foodservice organisations lined up by Invest NI.
In addition, three local companies – Dale Farm, Belfast, Moy Park, Craigavon, and Vion, which has a processing plant at Cookstown - will be showing poultry, bacon and ham, and dairy products on their own stands.
A 13-strong group of companies will also be visiting the exhibition on a business mission organised by Invest NI. Many companies in the delegation have arranged meetings with existing and potential customers.
Alastair Hamilton, Invest NI Chief Executive, commenting on the Northern Ireland presence at SIAL 2010, said: "It's immensely encouraging to see such a strong representation of local companies from virtually every sector taking part in what is clearly an important event for those wishing to grow exports and also to spot opportunities for new products and services.
"Food and drink is a vitally important industry for Northern Ireland which generates in excess of £3 billion for the local economy. Our focus on SIAL and other international food events indicates our commitment to assist the growth of the industry especially in other European markets, where a recent consultancy report that we commissioned in conjunction with the Livestock and Meat Commission indicated there are significant opportunities for our red meat companies.
"In addition to providing new business contacts, participation at SIAL enables our companies, both large and small, to keep abreast of trends within the global food industry showcased by presentations such as the Health Village, the Gourmet Experience and Tastes of the World.
"SIAL really does provide an unrivalled business opportunity for our companies because of the high quality of buyers who will visit the exhibition. Upwards of 150,000 trade visitors, including decision makers from all the world's food retailers, are expected from around 200 countries.
"Over 50 per cent of visitors will be from nations outside France. The fact that more than 1 out of 4 visitors are likely to be traders, wholesalers and import-exporters will provide exhibitors in particular with real opportunities to generate sales."
Taking part in SIAL this year will be almost 6,000 exhibitors from 105 countries including newcomers such as Armenia, Nigeria and the Dominican Republic.

1. For Your Health
Most mainstream 'beauty' products contain ingredients known to be carcinogenic and endocrine-disrupting, not to mention skin irritants and agers! Between 60-90% of whatever you put on your skin is absorbed directly into the bloodstream. Unlike food, which undergoes intense scrutiny and detoxification via the digestive tract before arriving in our bloodstream, chemicals absorbed via the skin bypass the liver and don't get detoxified in the same way. Natural makeup products are a combination between makeup and skincare; they contain nourishing, healing ingredients that allow your skin to breathe while actively improving the quality of the skin.
2. For Your Beauty
These products have come a long way in the last few years, and they really deliver results! You can have matte, shimmer, bright, nude, glossy, waterproof, flawless products without the toxicity. You can paint your nails, colour your hair, wear false lashes, sunscreen, fake tan and amazing makeup without using toxic chemicals. You can have the healthiest, most radiant skin of your life; the glossiest hair and strongest nails you've ever had, and all while using natural products worthy of your temple. On top of all that, it just feels better knowing you're doing good for yourself rather than lathering yourself in toxins.
3. For The Animals
MOST mainstream beauty brands test on animals – isn't that sad?! This barbaric practice is completely unnecessary in 2016. Almost every natural makeup brand I've ever come across is certified cruelty free and palm oil free. Just to be sure though, check for the leaping bunny. On this point, there is a little room for synthetics to be considered when it comes to brushes. I do love my natural hair makeup brushes which I've had for years, however I am opening up more to using vegan (synthetic) brushes as I learn more about the methods involved in creating animal hair brushes.
4. For The Environment
Many mainstream brands are criminally wasteful with their products and packaging. The widespread use of palm oil in cosmetics is resulting in deforestation and threatening the existence of beauties such as orangutans and elephants. Many big brand companies instruct retailers to pull entire lines of products off the shelves just to make way for new colours, instead of selling what they already have. Plastic microbeads, toxic ingredients and unsustainable practices make for an uglier planet.
Many natural brands, including Adorn Mineral Cosmetics, Kjaer Weis and Eco Minerals, actively encourage recycling through the use of recyclable jars and compacts and the availability of refill packs.
5. For The Future
Every time you purchase a product, you are voting 'yes!' and supporting everything about that brand. You are enabling their work to continue. Do you want to support a brand that knowingly puts carcinogens in their products, tips chemicals in animals' eyes, chops down forest habitat and then tries to sell you anti-ageing products to counteract the damage from using their nasty makeup all these years? OR, do you want to support a brand that makes beautiful natural products that nourish the skin, advocates for animal welfare, actively cares for the environment and makes you look and feel truly beautiful?

I was inspired to redo my warm-up template so that it fits on one page (though, mine is front-back). But at least now I can make 9 copies per quarter per student instead of the old system, which took twice as much paper. If you're interested, you can download a copy of the template; I used Chunkfive Roman and Cambria).
My weekly template for last year also used Futoshiki and Which One Doesn't Belong, but I switched their days so that maybe I could get more positive thoughts shared right after a weekend.
I changed my plans for Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. This year, I'm going to use Visual Patterns on Wednesday; I didn't want to use it last year because I've already used it for Algebra I and a lot of my students will have had me for both courses. Oh well, they'll get over it. On Thursday, I'm finally going to use the SolveMe Mobiles. Someone from #MTBoS shared this resource ages ago and I'm so excited to incorporate it into the weekly warm-up. On Friday, because factoring is historically problematic, I'm going to use the Sum and Product Puzzles to get the students some practice.

Tweaking BrowserMob-Proxy
Posted by Stuart Herbert on August 10th, 2012 in Toolbox.
If you're writing tests for your web-based applications (and if you're not, I'm sure Chris Hartjes will want a stern word with you …), then you might be using a combination of Selenium 2 / aka Selenium WebDriver and WebMetrics' BrowserMob-Proxy for your testing.
WebDriver is the latest Selenium API for controlling real web browsers such as Internet Explorer, Firefox and Chrome, and BrowserMob-Proxy adds in essential missing capabilities such as checking HTTP status codes and injecting headers for HTTP Basic Auth.
I've recently forked BrowserMob-Proxy on GitHub and started to make tweaks to it for work. Thought I'd mention it, in case anyone else out there is using BrowserMob-Proxy and would find our tweaks useful too. We'll be submitting our tweaks upstream in due course.
- Executable JAR – Maven POM file updated to build browsermob-proxy-X.XX-standalone.jar – an executable JAR file – during the 'package' phase. Very handy if you're running and testing it via the remote API. Upstream's browsermob-proxy-X.XX-bin.zip is still available, and is now always built during the 'install' phase.
- /features endpoint – a new REST API endpoint allowing you to GET and POST and DELETE feature flag settings. We're using this to enable/disable any new features that might break backwards compatibility, in case you want to use existing BrowserMob-Proxy REST clients with our tweaked version. Said REST clients can also use this to see which features are present / enabled.
- enhancedReplies – by default, BrowserMob-Proxy isn't the most chatty of REST services. Switch this feature on (POST 'enhancedReplies=true' to /config/enhancedReplies), and now every response includes either a 'success: TRUE' or an 'error: TRUE' field for your client to easily understand what has happened.
- More logging – we've added some additional log messages throughout the ProxyResource REST API, to make it easier to debug browsermob-proxy REST API clients. This logging is off by default, and is switched on by POSTing 'paramLogs=true' to /config/paramLogs, and/or POSTING 'actionLogs=true' to /config/actionLogs.
- additional header GET / DELETE API – we've extended the REST API for additional HTTP request headers to now allow you to GET /proxy/:port/header/:name and to DELETE /proxy/:port/header/:name if you need to. You can also delete all additional HTTP request headers in one go by DELETE /proxy/:port/headers.
- REST API for HTTP Basic Auth – BrowserMob-Proxy's existing support for HTTP Basic Auth is now available via PUT /proxy/:port/basicAuth/:domain. One of the key features missing from WebDriver. (This is a convenience feature; it could be done by injecting the headers directly into BrowserMob-Proxy).
- exception handling – by default, BrowserMob-Proxy lets exceptions bubble up to the servlet container … which unfortunately sends back HTML errors rather than a JSON error. To make things a little easier for REST clients, I've tweaked the REST API to trap exceptions and return back a (hopefully suitable) error class. This will probably need more tweaking before it provides useful information all the time.
Bookmark this page; I'll be updating it as we complete more tweaks to BrowserMob-Proxy.

Tomorrow I should have an exciting update since I had a very productive morning "taking care of business."
I know many of my supporters will be pleased especially Issendai Icchantika.
Issendai and I had a very interesting and informative conversation which you can view in the comments of the post beginning: "I now have proof that the UNITED STATES FEDERAL GOVERNMENT is intentionally depriving me of my Constitutional right to DUE PROCESS of law." (this is just a few posts below.)
Issendai asked many thoughtful questions regarding FIDUCIARY DUTY and we discussed how it can legally be TRANSFERRED to people and organizations who help a husband cheat his Wife during a divorce and thereafter by helping the husband deprive the Wife of her legal and constitutional rights of custody, visitation and others like her right to receive a legal divorce contract and not have fraudulent restraining orders issued against her without any legal or rational basis and many more.
I think this conversation may help others understand the legal and criminal ramifications of being a liar, cheater, abuser and manipulator promoting Divorce Fraud and Parental Alienation.
Typically, many liars, cheaters and abusers unreasonably and stupidly think their "entitlement, power and influence" can exonerate them. Oh well, I am proving otherwise.
***Stupid is what stupid does, which includes very highly educated people who continue to ignore the facts and the laws and keep trying to silence the truth which incriminates them more and more daily.
Well, more tomorrow and I hope you have an honest and productive day too while trying to make meaningful positive changes to help honest, compassionate people which INCLUDES Mothers and their Children as the US Constitution states; their rights are not to be ignored and if they are, there are many legal and criminal ramifications.
As always none of this is legal or any other advice; it is based upon my knowledge and experiences.

309 Kent Street, Sydney NSW 2000
Japanese with no park
Thanks to Michael Dimento for emailing me in May 2011 to try Sushi Park. I finally got around to trying his recommendation of Prawn Tempura Udon and Sushi ($14) and the Steam dumplings ($3, 5 pieces). The soup was served hot and topped with fresh vegetable. It was a decent portion and the broth was tasty enough, especially after you added the side of chilli powder. Unfortunately the prawn tempura was rather disappointing as the batter was very thick and not as crispy and thin as hoped. The sushi was OK although I think it's prepared in advance and just taken out of the plastic takeaway containers from the counter display when needed for dine ins. The dumplings looked good and the pastry thin and light as hoped although the filling was also a bit on the light side and could have done with a bit more in quantity and flavour. The dipping sauce was very watery and flavourless and missing the punch you'd expect. The decor and seating is pretty basic and probably could do with an upgrade to make it more welcoming and cosy. I'm not sure if I'd return but the service seemed friendly and appreciative of the visit. There's not much of an outlook so you kind of feel like you're in a fish bowl. Perhaps their main trade is take away.
PROS: Seems like a reasonably priced menu, Service seemed nice enough, Tables kept clean
CONS: Too much batter on the prawn tempura, Dumpling sauce lacked flavour, Decor rather basic and dated, Feels like you're in a fish bowl, There is no park
MUST TRY: Finding other Japanese restaurants in the area to compare quality and pricing
VERDICT: I might have come a bit late in the day so perhaps the sushi and tempura was lacking that freshness I was hoping for although not sure if I'd return unless I get another recommendation
Prawn Tempura Udon and Sushi ($14)
|Prawn tempura ordered on the side to retain crispness
|Prawn to batter ration not good — too much batter to appreciate the prawn meat
|Steam dumplings ($3, 5 pieces)
|Not as much filling as hoped in dumpling and the dipping sauce is quite flavourless
|Signage looking very dated and worn but matches the restaurant decor

The Xiaomi Mi 5c launch may be scheduled for next Tuesday, December 6. Thats the scuttlebutt from China where the unveiling of the lower-cost model will take place.
The Xiaomi Mi 5s currently goes for CNY 1,900 while the 5c model is expected to go for close to half that - CNY 1,000 ($150/140) is what were hearing.
Like the 5s, the Xiaomi Mi 5c will come in 5.2 and 5.5 versions. The specs wont be quite the same - the Snapdragon 821 is getting swapped out for a 2.2GHz octa-core processor (the memory is still 3GB/64GB) and the camera setup is 12MP main, 8MP selfie.
Does xiomi 5c has low light camera feature? ^.^
So what happened?
Hmmm, so many John, Michael etc...

Strength-Based Lean Thinking
Never before has there been such a strong call for a culture of continuous improvement in the private and public sectors across the global economy. In these challenging times, the appetite to discover how to do this better has never been greater. Process improvement has been developed over the last 100 years, and, as a result, we know more about the challenges of implementing and sustaining a culture of continuous improvement across organizations than ever before.
These challenges are particularly apparent when trying to expand continuous improvement initiatives or projects to a complete culture across organizations so that continuous improvement becomes the "way work is done." While Lean projects or short-term interventions can be successful in the short run, sustaining the improvements gained and instilling the values, ethos, and culture of Lean Thinking is elusive and easy to miss.
The traditional view is that the best method for improving the way processes in our organizations work is to understand in great detail what does not work well at present. The next step is to find a solution to the problem or its root cause, and finally to implement it.
We also were taught to develop a vision about a desired future state (typically based on "best practices") for our processes, followed by a focus on bridging the gaps between the "as is" and the desired "to be" states. Both approaches create a continuous focus on the gaps, inadequacies, and weaknesses of our processes, systems, and people.
Admittedly, these approaches to organizational change and improvement have served us fairly well over many decades by driving significantly greater efficiency and quality in manufacturing and other processes. However, there are well-documented examples of failures in driving improvement culture. For example, even the Toyota motor company, the source of the Toyota Production System (TPS), which laid the foundations for many of the principles and tools in the Lean tool box, has experienced several highly publicized challenges in recent years that exposed weaknesses and inconsistencies in the way its TPS philosophy was implemented. These included a well-publicized slow response to the discovery of defective car parts installed in millions of cars around the world, as well as other glitches in its supply chain and customer service. These experiences exposed difficulties in truly responding to customer demand on time, in contradiction to the well-known principle of "Just in Time." This example is given not in order to pick at Toyota specifically (it is still an inspiring example of success) but rather to demonstrate how challenging it can be to instill a true and sustainable culture of continuous improvement.
Strength-Based Lean: A Different Way
Most applications of Lean Thinking begin with an assumption that there is a theoretical "perfect state" for each organizational process, and that the current state deviates from the perfect state due to inefficiencies and waste.
This starting point means that, in order to improve our processes, we have to focus on the identification of gaps between the current state and the desired/perfect state (this is called "deficit focus"). Finding root causes for these gaps and fixing them follows next. At best, this approach takes you back to a state of status quo ("good") where expectations are met but rarely exceeded. It is unlikely to help you exceed customers' expectations ("great").
The strength-based approach to Lean has a different focus. Instead of focusing on what is broken and inefficient, it teaches how to identify what already is working efficiently and generates value in existing processes and systems (this is called "strength focus"). Next, we define ways to expand those parts and implement good practices elsewhere. This focus on the search for and growth of existing efficiency enables new ideas to emerge and supports implementation of process improvements by raising confidence, pride, and energy levels. The strength-based approach to Lean is more natural to work with and more sustainable in the long term. The focus of traditional Lean tends to weaken the system—even when it is successful—because it instills doubt and despair by giving unbalanced attention to waste and by amplifying inefficiencies.
In every organization, there is a wealth of knowledge and practical experience about efficient and value-adding ways to work. The strength-based approach relies on existing good practices and internal knowledge rather than introducing "solutions from elsewhere," thus making improvement easier. Visualize your teams as they discover the (often ignored) resources in their processes. As they do so, they find creative and energizing ways to improve, truly moving from good to great.
Strength-based Lean combines the rigor of Lean with the innovation and energy of Appreciative Inquiry and other strength-based approaches to organizational change, creating a more successful, inclusive, and sustainable result.
Why Change Now?
We live in a world that is moving at great speed. The rate of change and innovation is faster than ever. There is simply no time to collect data, analyze it, identify root causes, and fix them. By the time we have completed this cycle, reality already will have shifted and we are likely to find new problems. In addition, this fast pace means that we struggle to sustain the improvements we were able to achieve or continuously drive the importance of waste and defect elimination. Motivation and energy—so essential for change—are likely to wane.
The alternative approach of bridging gaps does not offer a solution either. Focusing attention on external best practices, and on current gaps against those best practices, distracts staff attention and does not encourage engagement across the organization or sustainability of existing good practices.
Benefits of the Strength-Based Approach
A strength-based approach to Lean Thinking creates a committed and focused team working on an improvement initiative with a keen search for possibilities rather than problems. Observing any process with this different "lens" invites us to start looking for the strengths and opportunities of the process, and to use this information to achieve the desired improvements confidently. Focusing on what works raises energy and motivation. Creativity is higher than that generated by following traditional improvement methods, and innovation is easier to achieve. The ideas for improvements generated through this approach are strong, as well as based on reality and knowledge from within the organization.
Because the process of improvement is no longer accompanied by the negative feelings associated with waste and defects (even if this association is only implicit, it is always present with classic Lean Thinking), there is a higher degree of participant engagement and sustained energy toward improvement.
Leveraging current or past knowledge, and accessing experiences and successes from within the system, are great resources for the next generation of improvement initiatives. They also provide motivation to everyone toward facing the challenges and opportunities ahead.
Teaching improvement teams and all members of the organization how to find what is value-generating for customers drives them to consciously or unconsciously seek ways to deliver even more value to customers. Isn't that what we're all about?

The inspiration behind this dish actually came from a Kraft recipe that I had found a few months ago. I did some tweaking to suit our tastes (I used meatballs instead of chicken) and it was an instant hit with the family. You really can't go wrong with pasta and lots of cheese. It was fantastic!
Three Cheese Penne Bake with Meatballs
Serves 8
16 oz. Penne Pasta
16 oz. Italian meatballs
1 tsp. garlic powder
1 tsp. dried basil leaves
1 can diced tomatoes, drained
1 jar pasta sauce
2 oz. cream cheese, cubed
1 cup Shredded Mozzarella Cheese, divided
1/4 cup shredded Parmesan Cheese
Heat oven to 375.
Cook pasta in large saucepan to al dente. Drain and set aside.
Meanwhile heat tomatoes, spaghetti sauce, and meatballs. Simmer on low heat for 15 min, stirring occasionally. Stir in cream cheese, basil, and garlic powder.
Stir in 1/2 cup mozzarella; and then add noodles. Pour into 2-qt. casserole sprayed with cooking spray.
Bake 20 min. or until heated through; top with remaining cheeses. Bake an additional 3 min. or until mozzarella is melted. Enjoy!
