How to Setup HIPAA Mutual Consent for Insecure Email at LuxSci
We have recently discussed how mutual consent may be used to send individuals ePHI via insecure email under HIPAA in certain cases.
If you have decided to use mutual consent in your organization and are properly informing and warning your patients of the privacy risks, getting proper written waivers from them, and well documenting everything in preparation for a HIPAA audit, then all you're all set to send the ePHI insecurely.
Right? Well, there is a little more to it than that.
Insecure Email with ePHI is still email with ePHI
All the rules of HIPAA that apply to dealing with ePHI continue to apply to email messages that you send [insecurely] containing ePHI under a mutual consent agreement.
In particular:
- The email must be sent through a HIPAA-compliant email provider with whom you have a Business Associate Agreement.
- You must archive copies of all such emails that you send
- You must keep an audit trail of the sending of such email, including the fact that the email was not sent securely
- You must follow all of the other HIPAA-related guidelines.
This implies that you should send the insecure ePHI through the same provider you would use for regular encrypted ePHI — you can't just run to insecure GoDaddy, regular Gmail, or or use some off-the-shelf appointment reminder software because encryption is not required.
Mutual Consent Encryption Opt Out at LuxSci
LuxSci has several different work arounds for customers who need to send some PHI-laden email and some regular email … so the regular email can be send normally, unencrypted. These include:
- Have two separate users, one HIPAA-compliant and one not. Select the appropriate user when sending the respective kind of email. E.g. "firstname.lastname@example.com" and "email@example.com" for the secure, and regular email, respectively.
- Enable encryption Opt Out on a per-message basis.
The first method, separate users, is not really applicable for mutual consent. This is because messages sent through the regular email user are not considered HIPAA-compliant and should never contain ePHI. You might not have email archival on your insecure users, and there would be no special log indicating that a particular message was chosen to be sent insecurely.
The second option, explicit opt out, is recommended because:
- The message is sent by a HIPAA-compliant user
- The message will be archived if you have archival for your HIPAA email
- The sender chooses on a per-message basis if it can be sent insecurely
- The fact that it is sent insecurely is logged along with the sender, recipient, subject, etc. This log is kept indefinitely.
- Then message is treated like every other ePHI-laden email, just unencrypted.
It is desirable to opt out for each insecure email that may contain ePHI, just like it is desirable to opt out of sending securely for messages that do not contain ePHI as this simple requirement of choice on the sender's part greatly helps prevent
- Messages going insecurely that should have gone securely (a HIPAA breach)
- Sending types of ePHI insecurely that are not covered by mutual consent (e.g. sensitive lab results vs an appointment reminder)
Opting out of encryption on a per message basis is much safer and more secure than Opting in … which is very dangerous under Omnibus.
For more information on how to set up Opt Out for encryption at LuxSci, see:
- HIPAA Compliant Email – You Decide Which Messages Need Encryption
- Email Encryption Opt Out Now Available for Outlook and Other Email Programs
When using HIPAA encryption opt out at LuxSci, the system is essentially asking you to confirm that the message in question does not contain ePHI at all. This is appropriate when using it to differentiatePHI-laden vs normal email. When using it for mutual consent unencrypted email, you follow the same procedure… so that as far as the system is concerned, it does not contain ePHI that must be encrypted.

My favorite tools to optimize Visual Studio for webdev
How do we make Visual Studio play nicer with HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript, jQuery, in other words more of the front-end webdev stuff?
Visual Studio 2010, be it the Ultimate, (free) Web Developer Express or other version, is not fully optimized for front-end web development out of the box. But don't let the default VS2010 install fool you. There is a combination of community effort and tooling enhancements by Microsoft that make VS2010 play nicer to webdevs.
In this post you can find a collection of my favorite extensions and tools to make Visual Studio handy for web devs. I'm focusing on the tools I have used and installed myself, knowing that there are others out there. Do you have any additions for the list? Please let me know so I can add them here!
Most of the extensions I discuss can be installed using the Extension Manager (Tools > Extension Manager). You can also download extensions through the Visual Studio Gallery.
Web Standards Update for Visual Studio
Download Web Standards Update for Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 SP1
This is the first tool I would recommend for introducing HTML5, CSS3 and JavaScript enhancements to the editor. Released by the Visual Web Developer team at Microsoft it includes HTML5 schema support, CSS3 and improved JavaScript IntelliSense.
Although Visual Studio Service Pack 1 did bring some HTML5 schema support I advise installing this extension for improved support.
More info at Mads Kristensen's blog: Web Standards Update - behind the scenes
JScript Editor Extensions
Download JScript Editor Extensions
You might have seen my previous quick tip on these extensions. JScript Editor Extensions are a welcome addition to the IDE.
If you are used to having full fledged IDE optimized for C# development, things like word highlighting, outlining and brace matching are a given. Not so with JavaScript, until you install this extension.
(outlining functions example in some jQuery code)
After installing JScript Editor Extensions you'll get the option to Enable/Disable four different extensions: Brace Matching, JScript Intellisense <Para>, Outlining and Word Highlighter. Knowing that sometimes installing a specific extension conflicts with one of these it's a nice option.
Make sure you check out the Channel9 video for a live demo of the extensions.
Mindscape Web Workbench
Download the Mindscape Web Workbench.
Scott Hanselman has a great (as always) post on this new "Mindscape Web Workbench" extension for Visual Studio, adding support for CoffeeScript, SAAS and LESS.
Too many new extensions for you? Don't worry if you haven't been doing front-end web dev lately it's normal they sound crazy.
- Coffeescript: CoffeeScript is a little language that compiles into JavaScript.
- SAAS: Sass is an extension of CSS3, adding variables, mixins, selector inheritance, and more. It's translated to well-formatted, standard CSS. With the Visual Studio extension conversion into standard CSS is automated.
- LESS: LESS is similar to SASS in that it also adds support for variables, mixins and more but instead of having a server side or plugin translate the code into standard CSS it runs via a JavaScript library on the client.
Download JSLint.VS2010
This is an extension of JSLint for Visual Studio, as I'm sure you are aware of by reading the tool's title. You probably can't escape doing web front-end without using any JavaScript. But what about applying patterns and validating code? JSLint, a code quality tool is a solution for this.
It will hurt your feelings, that's the promise of JSLint. No, seriously that's their tagline but it's more of a warning on how JSLint will hurt your feelings at the beginning but in the end make you a much better JavaScript developer. Writing JavaScript without applying patterns and best practices leaves your code unmaintainable.
JSLint will apply a set of rules to validate your code and report issues. It helps you enforce usage of patterns and overall code structure.
(//note there is a lot wrong with this little script, although it does run it's just for demo)
You can also try the online version at http://jslint.com
jQuery IntelliSense
Getting IntelliSense support for jQuery in your ASP.NET MVC 3 projects is already be happening. The default template contains the -.vsdoc.js files which have been commented for Visual Studio IntelliSense. If you want to add this support to another project just install the NuGet package "jQuery.vsdoc", however the vsdoc files are now included in the default jQuery package so you should get them by default (jQuery version 1.6 and up).
Image Optimizer (by Mads Kristensen)
Download Image Optimizer
A nice little extension integrated into Vial Studio, which uses SmushIt and PunyPNG for optimizing the images. Run it on a folder of images in Visual Studio to have all the images optimized. Gains of 15% to 40% are not unusual with some files I tried out.
Other tools, not tested
- JSEnhancements: Similar to JSscript Editor Extensions, it provides outlining and matching braces highlighting for JavaScript and CSS editor.
- CSS 3 intellisense schema
- Chirpy: VS Add In For Handling Js, Css, and DotLess Files
- ReSharper 6, already used by lots of developers also has support for JavaScript and CSS (note this one is not free)
ASP.NET MVC & HTML5 templates
As I was working on this post a tweet by @maartenballiauw got my attention:
So I did just that in the Visual Studio (NuGet) Package Manager console for an ASP.NET MVC3 project. This package adds support to MVC EditorTemplates for new HTML5 input types such as E-mail, Tel and URL. Technically not a tool for my list but interesting to mention here anyway.
So that's it for my current list. Don't forget, add your favorite tools to the list by leaving a comment.

Star Diagonals
A star diagonal is an angled mirror or prism used in telescopes that allows viewing from a direction that is perpendicular to the usual eyepiece axis. It allows more convenient and comfortable viewing when the telescope is pointed at, or near the zenith (i.e. directly overhead). Also, the resulting image is right side up, but is reversed from left to right. Star diagonals are available in 1.25" and 2" diameters. The 2" diagonals allow larger longer focal length low power 2 inch barrel eyepieces for a greater field of view. Star diagonals come in all price ranges. However , even an expensive star diagonal will deliver poor performance if it is not in alignment with the optical axis of the telescope. A telescope in perfect collimation will be thrown out of collimation by a misaligned star diagonal and often this misalignment will determine the image quality of the telescope to a larger extent than the surface accuracy of the prism or mirror. Since the mirror or prism of the star diagonal is located nearly at the focal plane of the instrument, surface accuracy of greater that 1/4 wave is more in the line of advertising than any increase in optical performance. A 1/10 wave mirror or prism star diagonal that throws off the collimation of the telescope will perform worse than a 1/2 wave star diagonal that is in proper alignment.

SHANGHAI (Reuters) – China's yuan bounced back from more than one-year lows against the U.S. dollar on Friday afternoon, after traders said major state banks sold dollars to prop up the fragile Chinese currency which has been roiled by a bitter Sino-U.S. trade conflict.
The People's Bank of China lowered its yuan midpoint for the seventh straight trading day to 6.7671 per dollar on Friday, 605 pips or 0.9 percent weaker than the previous fix of 6.7066.
The latest bout of yuan weakness, catalysed by concerns over the brewing China-U.S. trade war and a slowing Chinese economy, has seen the yuan shed 7.6 percent of its value against the dollar since the end of the first quarter of this year.
Friday's fixing was the lowest since July 14, 2017, and represented the biggest one-day weakening in percentage terms since June 27, 2016.
The midpoint largely matched market forecasts, traders said, an indication that the authorities did not appear eager to hit the brakes on the yuan's fall.
Later, though, four traders said they had seen major state-owned banks selling dollars and propping up the yuan.
"Big banks were offering dollar liquidity onshore and offshore, instead of only selling onshore as what they used to do. In this case, it could have better effect," said one of the traders.
Another trader said he saw state banks selling dollars onshore at around 6.81 per dollar. The dollar selling had the effect of causing the yuan to pull back from its downhill dash.
Traders and economists say they suspect big state-owned banks sometimes buy or sell currency to influence the exchange rate as a form of intervention on behalf of the central bank.
Ken Cheung, senior Asian FX strategist at Mizuho Bank in Hong Kong, said investors were unsure of the future for the Chinese currency.
"Investors do not know how far the yuan could fall," he said.
"(The authorities) might want to keep economic growth stable, and the direct impact of a weaker yuan could offset some negative impact from the trade war. But it will be hard to maintain confidence among foreign investors in purchasing yuan-denominated assets."
Complicating matters, U.S. President Donald Trump said in an interview on CNBC television overnight that he was concerned that the Chinese currency was "dropping like a rock" and the strong U.S. dollar "puts us at a disadvantage."
The spot yuan market shrugged off the comments, though, opening at 6.7950 per dollar on Friday before weakening past 6.8 per dollar to a low of 6.8128 at one point.
It recouped all the losses in the afternoon. As of 0600 GMT, the onshore spot yuan was trading at 6.7760, 36 pips firmer than the previous late session close.
The spot rate is currently allowed to trade within a range of 2 percent above or below the official fixing on any given day.
Offshore the yuan was trading 0.33 percent softer than the onshore spot at 6.7983 per dollar.
Some traders said dollar liquidity offered by the big state-owned banks in the morning halted the sharp decline in the yuan, causing it to reverse course.
Although many in the market don't think the authorities have drawn a firm line in the sand for the depreciating Chinese currency, some said they were not overly bearish for now.
M.K. Tang, senior China economist at Goldman Sachs, said he was not too worried about the depreciation in the yuan as policymakers had better control over the outflow channels.
"The depreciation we saw, the reason that happened, is because policymakers have been comfortable with that. But if some day policymakers become uncomfortable because they think it's too excessive then I think it's quite likely that the authorities would have ways to stabilise the currency," Tang said.
"So fundamentally speaking, we do think CNY is like many other exchange rates in the world, it can go up and down depending on the macro outlook and things like that."

I happen to know a very senior journalist for a long time now. I noticed him on several social gatherings and one thing stayed with me. He rarely spoke about the columns he wrote unless people asked a specific question. He spent more time asking people about their life, their work and experiences. I observed some more successful journalists and found this to be a common quality. They listen more than they speak. Actually it is the demand of their profession. A journalist has to listen to all kinds of people, understand different versions and perspectives in order to file a good report. They need to get their facts right, whether they agree with the speaker or not and whether they like the speakers or not. They listen with the purpose of understanding and look for the information that is important and useful. This is active listening. A jurist also has to listen carefully to both sides in order to get the facts rights and deliver a fair judgment. There may be more professions in which the performance of people is directly linked to their ability to listen actively.
Active listening is the most important listening skill. It can be developed with practice and involves the following steps:
– Show that you are genuinely interested in understanding the key content of the message;
– Capture the feeling and emotions of speakers;
– Verify with the speaker that you got the message right. The process of seeking verification is critical as it ensures that the message is understood clearly, and in the right context.
Even if we don't have to produce a work product like a journalist or a jurist, It might be a good idea to attempt capturing the essence of what we listen and see if we can reproduce it. This could be a way to practice active listening.

Synopsis: We open with a Sisko voice-over in which he laments that it's been four years today since his angelic wife got blown up to death, and he almost let the day pass without even noticing. He's up in the middle of the night staring at his 3D chessboard when Jake stumbles out of his room, bleary-eyed and wearing what I presume to be footie pajamas.
Jake can't get back to sleep after a weird dream, and Sisko eagerly encourages him to talk about it over a mug of hot chocolate. Jake eschews the drink, but Sisko coaxes him to reveal his dream. Turns out Jake dreamed he was on the station, trying to get home to their quarters, but he kept getting lost, and when he got scared and tried to find Sisko he couldn't find him anywhere, and also the floor kept sloping and making him fall on his ass.
He tells his dad that he loves him, and then brusquely says that he has to get to bed before his calc test tomorrow. As he leaves, he simply says, "Dad, I miss her," and Sisko says that he does too, and then he returns to sleeplessly pondering his chess set. But I guess that doesn't keep him occupied for long, because soon he's out roaming the promenade. I really hope Jake doesn't wake up again, it has to be alarming to have a dream about not being able to find your dad and then wake up to him not being where he's supposed to be.
Anyway, Sisko is looking aimlessly out one of the observation windows when a small woman who looks like a pixie sneaks up on him out of nowhere and HOLY SHIT IT IS YOUNG ALLISON BLAKE FROM EUREKA. More precisely it is Salli Richardson-Whitfield, who plays the character of Allison Blake on Eureka, but this is weird because I was just saying the other day that Sisko and Allison Blake would be an amazing couple. Maybe I just like the idea of Jake and Kevin trying to share a room.
Anyway, Sisko and Space Allison Blake talk about constellations, including one the Bajorans call "the runners," and she says something about "how good it feels to run," which I can guarantee you would sound pretty much anti-sexy if I said it, but when she says it sounds quite alluring. She engages Sisko in talk about his job, saying that it must be super exciting to have so much going on all the time. Sisko says he prefers quiet moments like these.
They chat for a while longer, and then she goes all mysterious and says, "I like it here, I wish I could stay longer," and Sisko is all, "where are you going?" and she goes, "I'm not really sure. I guess I'll just keep going, like the runners," and all I can think about is Kristen Whiig sexily breathing "red flag."
Sisko offers to show her around the station, and when he makes the mistake of looking away for a moment, she disappears. Literally. Into thin air. That's a major red flag. Continue reading

The Bobcat Invitational may not be what it once was in terms of size and quality, but winning the team title on Saturday in Thermopolis still provided a much-needed boost for the Greybull-Riverside wrestling squad.
The Buffs, who for the first time this season found themselves out of the top five in 2A on wyowrestling.com, accumulated 146.5 points to top the seven-team field. Among the teams in that field were Lovell, which wyowrestling.com had ranked fourth in 2A, and Thermopolis, the fifth-ranked team in 2A.
The Bobcats finished second with 121.5 points, Columbus, Mont., was third with 115, Lovell — with several kids missing — was fourth with 106, Wind River fifth with 86.5, Worland JV sixth with 65.5 and Dubois seventh with 52.
G-R finished with only two champions, as Zane Edeler took top honors in the combined 182-195 class and Spencer Redland did the same in the combined 220-285 class. Edeler, normally a 195-pounder, feasted mostly on 182-pounders en route to compiling a 4-0 record, according to Sanford.
As for Redland, he was perfect 3-0, notching a win over teammate Tanner Bernstein in the final. Bernstein usually goes at 285, or heavyweight, for the Buffs.
G-R was open at 106.
Jorge Carmona went 2-3 and finished fourth at 113.
Tre Nelson, who didn't make weight at 106, gave it a go at 120 and won two of his three matches to capture second place.
Marshall Gibbs, at 126, went 1-2 and finished third.
Dylan Roberts went 2-3 and placed third.
Nick Schlattmann went 0-2 and placed third at 138.
Cole Hill went 2-1, losing only to Thermopolis standout Zack Larson, en route to a second-place finish at 145.
Ashton and Tyler Wollam represented G-R well at 152. Both won two and lost two. Tyler earned fourth place, while Ashton landed in fifth.
At 160-170, Anthony Eibert went 3-2 and placed third.
Rounding out the G-R effort were heavyweights Bernstein, who went 2-1 and placed second, and Billy Jones, who went 0-2 and didn't place in the 220-285 class.
"While the level of competition wasn't what we needed, it was good for the kids to come out of there with a victory," said Sanford. "But we need to be able to do that against stiffer competition as well."
Powell dual
The tournament win came two days on the heels of a 63-11 thrashing at the hands of Powell.
Led by Nate Urbach, the Panthers are a 3A powerhouse. Not only are they the top-ranked team, but they also have five wrestlers who hold down No. 1 ranking in their respective weight classes on wyowrestling.com.
While the score suggests it was a rout, Sanford said, "I didn't feel terrible about the effort we put out on the mat. We wrestled hard. We didn't say, 'Oh my gosh, it's the black-and-orange, Powell.' We battled them."
G-R was credited with two wins — one came on a forfeit at 220 pounds, which is Spencer Redland's turf, the other on a major decision by 113-pounder Jorge Carmona, who beat Marshall Wittick 15-1.
Several Buffs turned in solid performances in losing efforts, however.
Jesus Burgos lost 6-1 to Matt Widdicombe, the No. 2 ranked 152-pounder in 3A.
Tyler Wollam "had a good effort" before getting pinned by Jacob Davis, the No. 2 ranked 160 pounder in 3A.
Zane Edeler, at 195, "went for broke too early in the match" and ended up getting pinned in the first period by Zack Thompson.
Tanner Bernstein suffered the same fate at heavyweight, losing by a first-period pin to Rowdy Gard. Bernstein did get the first takedown in the match, however.
Tre Nelson did a "a fine job" in his first foray at 106, losing 9-3 to Noah Wozney, who for a time was the No. 2 ranked 106-pounder in 3A. Sanford said Nelson put Wozney on his back in the third period, and that as the season winds down, 106 — and not 113 or 120 where he started the year — is where Nelson will enjoy the most success.
Sanford also offered kudos to Marshall Gibbs for his work against Nic Urbach at 126. Urbach is ranked No. 1 in 3A, and while he did record a second period pin, he had to earn it, as Marshall "battled through everything Nic threw at him in the first period."
The most competitive match of the night came in the finale when Cole Hill lined up opposite Kye Catlin at 145. Catlin, ranked No. 1 in 3A, got the first takedown and led 3-2 after one. But Hill, ranked fifth in 2A, rallied in the second to tie it at 4 apiece. In the final period, Catlin scored a point on an escape, then two more on a takedown when Hill got out of position while in the process of going for a takedown of his own, all of which added up to a 7-4 Catlin win.
This week
G-R gets to stay home this weekend, as the Buffs will host a dual with Wright on Friday night followed by their annual memorial tournament on Saturday.
Whereas in the past they have been joined by Moorcroft, this year Wright will be the only team on the dance card for Lovell and Greybull on Friday night. Wright and Lovell will dual at 6 p.m., followed by the Greybull-Wright dual at 7 p.m.
Saturday's tournament starts at 10 a.m. Moorcroft won't be here, but several other quality 2A teams will be. As of Monday, the field included Shoshoni, Wind River, Rocky Mountain, Thermopolis, Dubois and some representatives of the Powell and Cody teams.
Sanford said the weekend will feature a number of important head-to-head matchups, and that his team "needs to be ready to compete" starting the moment it steps onto the mat against its 2A rivals, some of whom they won't see again until the regional tournament. He called Shoshoni "the team to beat" in the team competition.

Video Essay: The Screen Poetry of Terrence Malick
At the core, the cinema is the most powerful art form between sound and image. From his most direct, plot-driven narrative, Badlands, to his most abstract, polarizing film The Tree of Life, Terrence Malick has been progressively moving toward the highest form of pure cinema poetry. To explain: While many hail Badlands as his penultimate masterpiece–namely for its ingenious reshaping of a story of vagabond serial killers to a lyrical ode of unabashed human impulse–it ironically is as far removed as anything that Malick originally intended to be his masterwork. In fact, I don't think we've seen his masterwork yet. The New World and The Tree of Life are both towering masterpieces. Both exercising improvisational scripting, the physicality of open body language acting, and the absence of generators or any manufactured "studio" lights. But they are merely precursors to a much grander cinematic opera of the soul that Malick is slowly chipping away at with his current cavalcade of prolific motion pictures. And that's exactly the best way to describe the cinema of Malick: "motion pictures." If anything, Malick has come closer than any filmmaker to breaking down and building up the very foundation of the cinema. In turn, he has shown us at our most feral, our most vulnerable and our most majestic. Malick's moving image is the penultimate cinematic experience. Let it wash over you.

Anonymous wrote me a series of messages today after listening to Steve Beckow's very frank (and welcome to many of us) discussion with Sanat Kumara on January 7, 2013. You may hear this discussion at: http://pathwaytoascension.wordpress.com/2013/01/08/3285/
He asked that I share his thoughts with Lightworkers in particular. Anonymous speaks from the perspective of presently serving on the staff of two churches. His ministry places him in touch with many people on a regular and personal basis.
This anonymous minister is not to be confused with THE Anonymous on the internet.
Message 1:
This was a beautiful message. I am sure that many may not or cannot feel the hope, peace, joy and abundance at present. I do feel it: and I am so very, very, very happy and overjoyed with what I keep experiencing every day.
Each day is another amazing enlightenment for me and for those whom I keep "running into." Perhaps it is my Piscean nature that allows me to adjust and adapt so quickly. I am so accustomed to "last minute changes" in life, that I always simply "go with the flow" and therefore I am always in sync. I know that others cannot adapt that easily, but it is at such a time as this that I am very thankful for my ability.
I wish that many of the Lightworkers who are so disheartened at this time could see and feel what I am seeing and feeling. Please pass on to all of them that all is going as planned.
That is the best I can do to encourage all of my brothers and sisters. It is all so very, very good that it is actually more amazing than I ever thought it would be.
It is true that so many people DID want to ascend at the last minute. I see it all the time. There are fledglings out here on Gaia every day that are saying "Ah, I see, I see."
No one is going to be left behind. My heart resonates with this message perhaps more than any other has. I am grateful that the human collective surprised all of the heavenly beings.
"What is man that you are mindful of him?" We are amazing beings!
Message 2
You know, Nancy, I just got to thinking about the sacrifice and the diligence of service that Linda and all channels undergo every day. They experience the same quick withdrawal of love and support that the Bible prophets of old experienced when they put themselves out there and the messages did not pander out as planned.
I am so reminded of Jonah wanting to see the people of Nineveh destroyed, only to get downright angry when "God" said that compassion was necessary and that there had been a change in plan because of Nineveh's change of heart!!!!!.
Elijah went through the exact same thing. The Israelites loved Elijah UNTIL the prophesies did not go the way they had anticipated.
When people turn against the channel, it shows the darkness that actually exists in that person's heart … that perhaps they were not as "pure" and "loving" as THEY had thought themselves to be.
Exactly WHOM were people trusting????… The Channel??????
I remember that when I sold Real Estate and had to tell the buyer or seller bad news, I would ALWAYS say "Here is the message. Please do not KILL the messenger!"
I admire anyone who puts themselves out there in the service of the greatest good. If you know any of these channels, please tell them from me personally that I love, support and believe in their gifts and service, and that they are loved and not at all forsaken by the collective.
Please tell them to gird up their loins knowing that their labor is never in vain.
My faith is even stronger now then it was weeks ago!
Message 3
On Sunday at the Presbyterian Church up here, the Pastor gave his meditation and served Communion afterwards. I listened to the message and much of it still contained remnants of the old energy; but so much of the message contained new and never-before-expressed knowledge and sentiments.
The Pastor shared how he, at one point, thought he knew everything there was to know and was quite comfortable with it However, he admitted that he has learned to love and embrace the Muslim, the Buddhist, the Black, the Gay, and even women ministers. He exhorted the congregation to do the same.
A year ago, this Pastor would have NEVER said that… trust me on this!
Watching him change this past year has been a highlight of my life. Does he have more to go???? Oh yeah … but the very fact that he has come this far and is still open to learning shows just how wonderful and benevolent "God" is in allowing Ascension to be as it is at present.
No matter how far we THINK we have come, may we never cease to know just HOW MUCH MORE we need to explore "the length, depth, breadth and height of the Love of God that PASSES human understanding."
I am continually learning to embrace all that I have learned from Christianity and not eschew it. Whatever is not the truth needs to go, but that which IS true can remain and blossom.
Though many remain in the hallowed halls of the Church, many are embracing a "love" that they never quite knew before. THAT is thrilling. May we all every day seek the "Christ" that dwells in each human being.
An intent to LOVE above all things never puts any of us in muddy waters or quicksand foundations.
"My ways are not your ways, saith the lord, and my thoughts are not your thoughts; for as the heavens are high above the earth, so are my ways and thoughts above yours."
One of the great things about still being in Churches, is to HEAR these Scriptures, and to be able to "hear" and "interpret" them anew. I can only hope that all of us will never stop being amazed and surprised at the goodness and benevolence of "God" in whom "we live, move and have our being."
Message 4 – In this message our Anonymous Awakened Minister offers assistance to Lightworkers.
Many Lightworkers have been on the front lines for so long. Everything they have done has created what is now so possible for multitudes. Many of us were not on the front lines, but we now *are.* We are the troops called in to replace the weary while they get refreshment.
We are the "new wave" of workers, the second string, who are now reaping from what has been so faithfully sown. Gaia knows that to be both a sower and reaper can be very tiring.
Please tell all of the Lightworkers to use this time as a much needed time of refreshment and replenishment. Let some of *us* now carry on the work that was started. We will grow weary in time and will need refreshment and replenishment, also.
We are all in this together. Rest and let us carry on. We will in our own capacities!

Bayonne Mayor Mark Smith and council members will raise the Greek flag at 3:30 today in front of City Hall at 630 Avenue C, in honor of Greek independence.
"March 25th is a dual holiday for Greek-Americans; both a religious day as well as a Day of Independence," Christos Genes said.
Bayonne spokesman Joe Ryan said the city's Greek flag-raising ceremony began in 2001.
Greeks are celebrating their 193rd year of independence from the Ottoman empire.
In Jersey City last Friday, Mayor Steve Fulop raised the Greek flag at City Hall at 280 Grove St. The event was co-sponsored by the Greek Orthodox parishes of Evangelismos and Saint Demetrious of Jersey City.
According to the U.S. Census, there are roughly 600 Greeks in Bayonne.

Indeed it was a special celebration on Thanksgiving Sunday, October 11 at St. Anthony's Roman Catholic Church in Rama. It isn't too often that three Oblate priests celebrate The Holy Eucharist in unison at one location on a Thanksgiving Sunday. However, such was the case in Rama when Fr. Andrew Sowa OMI, who was the main celebrant and pastor of Holy Rosary Parish in Edmonton, celebrated Mass for Jubilants, Leonard and Vivian Pasloski as they marked their 60th Anniversary of Marriage as requested by their family. Fr. Marcin Mironiuk OMI, pastor of St. Anthony's, celebrated the Mass for Fr. Andrew Sowa OMI marking his 25th Year of Priestly Ordination as requested by St. Anthony's Parish; while Fr. Mitch Burdzy OMI, pastor of St. Henry's Parish in Melville, celebrated Mass for the late Joseph Nieckar as requested by the family.
Fr. Andrew Sowa after having given the jubilants, Leonard and Vivian a special blessing presented them with an Apostolic Blessing from Pope Francis in Rome; while Leonard, chairman of St. Anthony's Parish, then presented Fr. Andrew with a bouquet of roses on behalf of the parish.
A potluck lunch and program honoring Fr. Andrew's 25th Anniversary was held at the parish hall. Emcee, Mary Kowalyshyn, introduced the head table guests which included Shirley and Adam Kosar representing St. Anne's Parish in Buchanan, Ken and Linda Rolheiser representing St. Joseph's Parish in Canora, Fr. Mitch Burdzy OMI, dean of the Yorkton-Melville Deanery, Fr. Andrew Sowa OMI, 25th Anniversary Jubilant and a former pastor of St. Anthony's Parish, Leonard and Vivian Pasloski, 60th Anniversary Jubilants, Fr. Marcin Mironiuk OMI, present pastor of St. Anthony's, parish council members Steve Barteski, Elaine Olson, Mary and Joe Kowalyshyn, Juliette Franke and altar servers Kenth and Kevin Gimena and Christian Cabungal.
Congratulatory messages and best wishes for Fr. Andrew were expressed by Ken Rolheiser, Adam Kosar and Leonard Pasloski. Fr. Marcin and Fr. Mitch also spoke very fondly of Fr. Andrew who was their pastor at St. Maximillan Kolbe Parish in Mississauga, Ontario. Both being new associate pastors at the time felt that Fr. Andrew's excellent example of zealous hard work now has given them the knowledge of being in charge of their own parishes.
Gifts were presented to Fr. Andrew by Leonard Pasloski on behalf of the parish and Elaine Olson on behalf of the Ladies Club.
A powerpoint presentation depicting all the different aspects of Fr. Andrew's involvement within the parish throughout the years he spent at Rama as well as some of the other churches he served such as Sts. Peter and Paul in Dobrowody and St. Mary's in Tiny. The presentation also included many slides of his younger years in Poland including his ordination.
Fr. Andrew recalled and shared many fond memories while serving his parishes. A standing ovation was given by the audience at which time everyone sang "Sto Lat" meaning wishing you 100 years of good wishes! A special anniversary cake with a host, chalice and live roses was cut by Fr. Andrew and the Jubilants, Leonard and Vivian Pasloski. Fr.Andrew served the cake and met all on a personal note.

Halloween Makeup Tutorial Witch | Disney's Ursula
Disney's Halloween Makeup tutorial Witch URSULA Makeup Tutorial
While we can't quite enjoy the same powers as Ursula, we can certainly look like her in just a matter of minutes with this Halloween makeup tutorial witch Ursula. Before delving headfirst into the makeup routine, it's important to de-puff your eyes because the base color is totally different from the natural skin color as no concealer is involved. Use De-puff eye pads to get rid of puffy eyes and keep them hydrated.
To prepare the perfect octopus-like skin color, mix the purple face paint with a light blue one. Do not mix in equal proportions, but rather mix a small amount of light blue face paint to add more dimension to the purple color. After the color is ready, apply it on your entire face evenly using a foundation brush. Also cover your eyebrows. Then move on to your neck and arms if they're exposed in your costume.
Continuing this Halloween makeup tutorial witch, now create your brows using a cake liner and brush. Start with the inner corner of your brows and drag the line up down to where your brow ends, making it look like an inverted "U". Right where your real brows are, create a half circle – these are going to be your eye-lids. To fill in that spacious eyelid, pick a bright blue eye shadow and apply it using a brush. Use the same eye shadow to apply a generous amount of it on the lower lash line using a small brush. To fill the space underneath those eagle-like brows you just created, fill in grey eye shadow. Highlight the inner corner of your natural lids and brows with a black eyeshadow to create a striking look.
Pick a marker liner and apply a thick line along the lash line to create a lash-like look at the end of the lash line, using multiple strokes. Apply the liner on the inner rims and draw lower lashes to make your eyes appear sharper. Apply eyelashes and add a finishing touch by using mascara.
Pick a striking red shade of lipstick and apply on your lips to get the perfect lips for Halloween makeup look . Try to make them look fuller just like Ursula's. Wear a short white hair wig and spray over to give it more body and volume. And now you are ready with Halloween makeup tutorial witch Ursula. For more makeup tutorials, check here.

In October 2015, lawmakers reintroduced a bill that might become "The Hide No Harm Act of 2015." Manufacturers of potentially fatal defective products would face greater consequences if the bill passes into law. The proposed legislation defines the various roles of manufacturers, designers, distributors, and more. Adequate warning requirements, for both employees and consumers, are described throughout.
The Act sets for "to establish criminal penalties for failing to inform and warn of serious dangers" and was originally introduced in 2014. The proposed law would impose fines and prison (up to 5 years) for corporate officers if they intentionally cover up information or neglect to warn employees or consumers about the dangers of a product or practice. The bill also includes whistleblower protections for individuals who alert officials about violations and dangers.
Defective products or potentially fatal products injure and kill innocent people. Sometimes these incidents could have been prevented if a company, manufacturer, or other party had come forward with knowledge about the possible dangers. Lawmakers are proposing The Hide No Harm Act of 2015 to deter negligent parties from withholding information, and encourage them to come forward and prevent harmful incidents among people associated with the products.
Curious about more law changes that affect consumer protections? Our defective product attorneys in Raleigh are on Twitter @brentadamslaw and Facebook.

Broadview Hunting privately owns 1000 acres of prime hunting land located in the Paeroa mountain range in the Central North Island of New Zealand. The Estate is surrounded by 5200 acres of free range hunting land. Thick native bush clad hills, tree ferns and scrub on the rolling contour with grass clearings and scrub on the flats, creates an interesting and varied habitat to hunt your trophies.
The New Zealand hunting seasons for each species are listed below:
Red stag, Sika and Fallow: Mid February to end of July
Tahr and Chamios: March to September
Sambar and Rusa: Mid May to October
Red Deer
New Zealand's most common deer species is the red deer. Originating from Britain this abundant species weighs a respectable 350-400 pounds. They exhibit enormous antlers which extend to multiple points, and their physical appearance alone ensures hunting these magnificent animals is a memorable experience. Red stags are a particularly exciting hunt during the rut in March and April when they are roaring and fighting for supremacy over the hinds. Red deer are not particularly shy and tend to graze clearings and more open areas of the bush.
Fallow Deer
The fallow deer is the second most common species of deer in New Zealand and were originally liberated from Britain in1864, Weighing around 120-150 pounds, their attractive coats vary in colour from black, white, dapple, white-spot and fawn. They rut in March and April, during which time their territorial throaty mating call can be heard. The distinctive palmated antlers of the Fallow buck are its point of difference among other deer species. Fallow like to move around a lot but revisit their rutting pad frequently. They are a little more recluse than the red deer.
Sika Deer
Orignating from Japan, Sika deer are only found in the central North Island of New Zealand and hunting them is a special experience. Their typically 8 point antlers and spotty coat are characteristic of the Sika and make a unique trophy. Spots are most prominent in the summer months of December to February. Sika are known for their cheeky and inquisitive nature and will sometimes follow a hunter through the bush. Rutting season is April and they can be called in to close quarters by using an elk cow call.
Sambar deer are larger than a red, they are semi nocturnal and extremely cunning, making them a challenge to hunt. Ideal season for hunting the Sambar deer is May to October when they sport an intersting heavily grained 3×3 antler. Their coat is a thick dark hair without the usual downy undercoat of other deer species. Sambar rut in the winter months of June, July and August but are more elusive than other species.
Rusa Deer
Originating from the areas around Indonesia the Rusa deer prefer the mild climate of the central North Island and are unique to this area. Much like the Sambar, only smaller in body size, they typically grow a 3×3 antler and are semi nocturnal. Rusa are recognisable for their large ears and their unique running style which sees them run with their heads lowered in line with their backline. They prefer a dense bush habitat tending to visit clearings only late in the evening. During June and July the Rusa deer can be heard roaring, their mating call being a softer version to that of a red deer.
The Himalayan Tahr originated in North India and were introduced to New Zealand early last century. Found only in the high country of the South Island, this hunting experience offers a nice contrast to your North Island hunting. A reasonable level of fitness is required due to the rugged terrain of the spectacular Southern Alps. A mature bull Tahr typically weighs around 150-200 pounds, and is a magnificent sight during the rut in May, June and July when his skin is in full winter coat.
The first Chamois in New Zealand were a gift from the Austrian Emperor Franz Joseph I in 1907 and they were later released into the mountains of the South Island. A mature buck weighs around 55-90 pounds and stands up to 31 inches high with straightish horns that are hooked backwards near the tip. Fur is beautifully thick in the winter months when it turns from a rich brown colour to a light grey so they are well camouflaged in their natural environment in the mountains. Chamois are most active in the morning and evening, and their speed and agility make them a very interesting animal to hunt.
Wild Pigs are found throughout New Zealand and range in size up to 200 lbs. Captain Cook was the first European to liberate pigs in New Zealand in 1773. Wild Pigs roam freely around the property and surrounding forest. Best hunting is in the evening and night when the pigs are travelling and feeding. It is common to hunt Wild Pigs with Dogs which is exciting as they can be unpredictable. Colours are jet black, black and white spots and ginger.
Feral Goat and Arapawa Ram
Introduced to New Zealand in the 1700's by whalers as a food source for the future. The Goats and sheep adapted well to the mild climate and now wide spread throughout New Zealand.Goats climb high and live on rocks and steep Terrain foraging on thorn bushes and harder flora. The wild sheep prefer open grass clearings near the bush to make a quick escape if spooked. Goats are a multitude of colours and the Arapawa sheep are chocolate and white. Both have spiralled horns with the Goats spreading wide and the Sheep more heavy set. The Feral Billy Goat and the Arapawa ram make a desirable addition to the Trophy collection.
These marsupials are native to Australia and introduced in 1912. The Tammar is the smallest of the 6 species in New Zealand and can only be found in Rotorua on the North Island. Wallabies are nocturnal and can be found emerging from the forest to graze clearings late evening and night.
The Australian bush Possum was introduced between 1837 and the 1920's to supply the fur industry, however they thrived in their new habitat and are now a pest in New Zealand and a major threat to our Native forest. Possums are nocturnal spending the day nesting in thick vegetation and browsing the forest at night. It is great fun spotlighting Possums at night and you will be doing the environment a favour.

My Treasure
Today I like to show you my grandchildren's healthy growth. Rintaro is an active two-year-old boy who loves on-site vehicles like power shovel and bulldozer. Koharu is eight months old who is now in much better condition after the heart surgery in August. Now she can drink milk and eat baby food so much, as you see on the second picture. Her face is bigger than her big brother :)

St Barts, Caribbean
Saint-Barthélemy or St. Barts as the calypso coloured paradise is commonly referred to, is in excess of twenty silver sand beaches of which immaculately groomed women and bronzed men lay unsheathed. The french-speaking Caribbean enclave, said to be the regions most striking island, is infused with a hint of Parisian grandeur. Designer stores line street facades in the Islands tidy capital of Gustavia, while yachts fill the harbour, perched on top of the water in a regal fashion. Locals yield a seemingly hedonistic lifestyle, as glasses of champagne are sipped on the waterfront and ladies of leisure air kiss passing friends bonjour. Unscathed or overrun by hurdles of mass holidaymakers, St. Barts remains a secluded paradise.

Cheval Blanc Saint-Barth Isle de France
Seville, Spain
Modern Seville is as flamboyant as she is charismatic. Her soul pulsates with energy and her unraveled beauty marries mystery and opulence. Ornamental vines hang from bleached facades and flamenco music reverberates through the Spanish city's tapered laneways. Seville's exuberant and inimitable gregarious Andalusian culture is only half of the beauty. Photographs of Roman ruins, tapas and bullfighting, which have become synonymous to this celestial country simply do not do it justice. Seville's Gothic cathedral and historic bell tower lie at the epicenter of the city, opening one of many doors to the Spain's nostalgically attractive architecture and timeworn past. Avoid the scorching heat of Summer by traveling either side of August.
Where to stay
Fez, Morocco
Fez is an enigmatic blend of old and new. Suspicious scaffolding lines Morocco's narrow lanes and covered bazaar's, adjourning the crumbling facades. While, avant-garde hotels are being erected and century-old minarets continue to disappear into a sea of satellite dishes. Tessellated tiles sweep the facades of traditional Moroccan riads, strawberry hued interiors built around quaint courtyards. The pace of the city is reflective of its people, colourful and electric. Aromatic food stands billowing with Moroccan cuisine and ornamental Islamic mosques parade each street corner. While Fez's main form of transport, the Donkey, basks in the dry sun. Due to Morocco's location, Fez is influenced by many varied and distinct cultures. African tribal motifs from the Sahara Desert, elaborate Islamic calligraphy and traces of European colonizers stain the Medina's architecture. Take the time to get lost in Fez. Only then will you fathom the imperial city's natural, concealed vagaries.
Where to stay
The Cotswolds, England
Explore the typically romanticised English countryside on one of many walking tracks weaved in and around the undulating hills of the Cotswolds. Here you will discover an abundance of ancient idyllic limestone buildings whose steeply pitched slate roofs and Jurassic chimney's have been standing for more than 300 years. The majority of the pastoral villages and story-like guesthouses are located in Gloucestershire, south west of England. Declared an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty in 1966, the Cotswolds remain a testament to the medieval wool trade which bought the area its wealth and glory. On route to your thatched cottage B&B for fresh cream tea, you'll pass cultivated fields lined with manicured hedges and unspoiled woodlands burnished from the winter. Dry-stone houses and antiquated pubs surrounding the River Coln are entirely asphyxiated by vines, it is a whimsical atmospheric setting to be unveiled with your own eyes.
Where to stay
The Whitsundays, Australia
The Whitsundays has all of the makings of a utopian honeymoon, completely cathartic and tranquil. Best explored by boat, this serene coastline made up of 74 islands encapsulates an uninhibited, laid back tempo and languorous lifestyle. Anchor your vessel on the waters edge and enjoy Airlie Beach, on the mainland, from which a foray of premium boutiques and lavish alfresco dinning rooms paint the sidewalks. Sail the seas and slowly wane in to enclaves of cerulean water insulated by mountainous ridges of native green vegetation and fringing sandbanks opening up to hidden caverns and secret hideaways.

Puglia's white washed towns and hauntingly beautiful cliff faces will completely beguile you. Renowned as a less populated, miniature Amalfi Coast and constructed on an impressive gorge at the foot of Italy, Puglia is the longest coastline of any region on the mainland. Decaying ancient settlements surround the oceanic city, while locals simply go about their day with an admired insouciance. Scattered baroque-style churches, cafes and shops close at midday for lunch, reopening in the afternoon illuminated by fairy lights laced in neighboring trees. Puglia's maze-like footpaths journey through the city's compendium of ornate cathedrals, imposing castles and swimming caves hidden within the rocky terrain of the southernmost tip.

Lake Como, Northern Italy
Start your happily ever after in Lake Como – Northern Italy's most romantic lake district which sits in the shadow of the Alps. Peering through a screen of morning haze, luxurious dwellings doused in wisteria and soaring alpines scatter the forested coastline. Lake Como is made up of several spectacular lakes, padded by 12th Century city walls and comely cobbled streets. The lakes main town, Como is located where the southern and western shores converge in to an inverted 'V'. Cosmopolitan towns, Menaggio and Bellagio lie on the western shore – beautiful locations rife with beautiful people. Sumptuous landscaped gardens and 16th Century Palaces perched on peninsulas serve as a great base for dreamlike exploration and romantic outdoor dining experiences.

San José del Cabo, Mexico
Don't confuse San José del Cabo with the wayward 'sister city', Cabo San Lucas. San José is an authentic Mexican nirvana constituting of blonde beaches, rich Spanish Colonial architecture, luxury villa rentals and alluring, aromatic boutique eateries. The hidden beach, Playa del Amor is one of Mexico's rare, natural wonders and vastly different from the dramatic desert scenery of Los Cabos. Enjoy the carefree, nonchalant local scene as you sip on an adventitious sounding cocktail and listen to the admiral coloured ocean roll in against the serrated cliff faces.

text: This kind of email is excellent, describing the problem and explaining the solution. Thanks for sharing it with us. Cheers, David -----Original Message----- From: erlang-questions-bounces@REDACTED [mailto:erlang-questions-bounces@REDACTED] On Behalf Of Laura M. Castro Souto Sent: Thursday, July 19, 2007 10:19 To: Willem de Jong Cc: Lista de Erlang Subject: Re: [erlang-questions] Troubleshooting using YAWS + SOAP Hello all, It seems that we finally found the source of the problem. In the end, it has something to do with yaws_soap_srv module, which is the genserver that was dying with the timeout error. And the reason was in front of our eyes all the time, as happens so many times. Let me explain it here for the record. Remember the "minimal" server that Willem posted in his mail? > -module(my_soap). > -export([handler/4]). > > -record('p:CodigoVO', {anyAttribs, 'etiqueta', 'valor'}). > -record('p:setParte', {anyAttribs, 'param0', 'param1', 'param2', 'param3', > 'param4', 'param5', 'param6'}). > -record('p:setParteResponse', {anyAttribs, 'return'}). > > handler(_Header, > [#'p:setParte'{'param0' = P0}], > _Action, > _SessionValue) -> > {ok, undefined, setParte(P0)}. > > setParte(P0) -> > CodigoVO = #'p:CodigoVO'{'etiqueta' = P0, 'valor' = 1}, > #'p:setParteResponse'{'return' = CodigoVO}. As Willem said, this server works out perfectly well, but this is just because is *that minimal*. The issue is that the operation being invoked through the web service (setParte) might not be *that simple*, meaning that it could potentially be a function that consumes some time to get its result. If "some time" is less than 5000 milliseconds, everything is fine. But what happens if it's not? Well, the yaws_soap_srv genserver dies. As simple as that. Why? Because whenever the gen_server:call function is used inside that module, its third optional parameter (Timeout) is never specified, thus assuming a default value (guess what: 5000 milliseconds). Check out the source code: handler(Args, Id, Payload, SessionValue) -> (...) case gen_server:call(?SERVER, {request, Id, Payload, SessionValue, SoapAction}) of {ok, XmlDoc, ResCode, undefined} -> {false, XmlDoc, ResCode}; {ok, XmlDoc, ResCode, SessVal} -> {true, 0, SessVal, XmlDoc, ResCode}; {error, _, _} = Error -> Error; false -> false end. So what we did is to add the third parameter to the gen_server:call function and now everything is working! handler(Args, Id, Payload, SessionValue) -> (...) case gen_server:call(?SERVER, {request, Id, Payload, SessionValue, SoapAction}, infinity) of {ok, XmlDoc, ResCode, undefined} -> {false, XmlDoc, ResCode}; {ok, XmlDoc, ResCode, SessVal} -> {true, 0, SessVal, XmlDoc, ResCode}; {error, _, _} = Error -> Error; false -> false end. I understand that an infinite timeout might not be reasonable in all cases, maybe even in most of the cases, but you will agree with me that the need for a timeout greather than 5000 might not be that strange... Perhaps, a general solution for this will be to let the client modules of yaws+soap configure that timeout option, maybe by means of another field in the gconf struct. Regards, -- Laura M.

For a lot of business owners, an often overlooked aspect in the assessment of how well (or badly) their business is going is the way they deal with their clients – or to put it another way, how they allow their clients to deal with them.
Allowing oneself to be treated like a cheap throwaway commodity can be the main cause of why a lot of businesses particularly in the online realm are not doing as well as one might have first anticipated.
Continuing with our analogy of "cheap, throwaway, commodities"…….
Things which are branded with this type of label are actually cheap and throwaway for a reason – ie, they are usually easy and inexpensive to make and hence this also makes them very easy to copy or reproduce. More importantly they usually have no lasting value and are easy to replace.
This analogy applies to not only "things" which are produced in a production line but also to people and the skills which they have to offer.
Keeping the above in mind, it might now be a good idea to look inwards to yourself and your own business and ask whether the service or product you are offering is cheap, easily reproducible and value-less.
Are you doing something which everybody else is doing and expecting to become successful?
The reason why I have initially focused on you and your product is because a lot of the time this can dictate how your customers and clients treat you and ultimately how you perceive yourself in the eyes of the client and your competitors.
You will find that the most successful and respected online entrepreneurs and business owners have earned respect through their skills, actions and attitudes, which consequently translate into great products and services and hence amazing success.
Below is a selection of brief points which will hopefully provide some practical guidelines on how to increase your own worth and your business's success which will in turn earn the respect you think you deserve.
Become an expert or at least very good at what you do
People love dealing with experts because they get that warm fuzzy feeling inside which gives them confidence that they are getting a quality product, service or treatment.
Experts always make people feel that "I'm in good hands".
Experts are also less common than the average Joe which means that as the expert you are much less of a "throwaway commodity" because you possess something which is harder to find.
Let's take an example of a WordPress theme designer/developer. The expert will design and properly code their theme to minimize potential bugs and interference with other aspects of a web site such as plugins etc. The non-expert will try to copy this but if and when they are faced with the prospect of solving an issue which may arise in the future with their theme, they will most likely be unable to solve the issue or figure out the cause of the problem.
Meanwhile the expert already has a deep understanding of the how the pieces in the puzzle work and so they are easily able to fashion a solution to a problem.
Yeah sure the non-expert might be cheaper but in the long run you will find that you end up spending more money to correct the deficiencies of their product and you'll end up wasting valuable time fixing things instead of focusing on your business.
Therefore, if there's one investment you should make, it's the time to invest in yourself and educate yourself in your chosen business niche so that you become more knowledgeable than your average competitor. And as we said before, the more expert you become the less you can be copied and hence the more respected and successful your business will be.
Weed out the tire kickers and don't underprice your product or service
If you are offering a premium product then you can't expect to achieve success with your business by going after the low-end clients.
Most "low end" clients possess characteristics such as usually expecting something for nothing. Low end clients initially seek out the free solution and when they can't find it they expect to pay the minimal amount possible to achieve what they are looking for.
These types of clients have a directly opposing attitude to the one which we are trying to nurture in this article, ie, you have to put in some quality effort to achieve a quality result.
Thus when pitching your product or service, don't fall for the trap of going in too low with price because you will quickly find that you will erode your energy dealing with people who waste your time and will not compensate you for it.
The customer is not always right
We have all heard the term "the customer is always right" and this may be true for some cases.
However, if you are in the situation where you are constantly jumping through hoops at the request of every client just to make them happy, you have effectively relinquished control of your actions to somebody else.
Sometimes you may need to draw the line and remind yourself (and your client) who the expert is because otherwise your client would not be seeking your help.
Thus as a business owner it is very important to establish very clear expectations about the job/product up front because this will negate any confusion and unrealistic demands your client might have in the future.
By the same token we are not advocating that you do not listen to your customers because the feedback which your customers give you can be an invaluable source of information regarding the improvement of your business.
But what we are saying is that you should not let the equilibrium of the vendor/client relationship be unbalanced by a dominating client with unrealistic expectations because you will quickly find yourself being sucked down a hole where you are expending a lot of your time for little gain.
Therefore do not be afraid to tell your customers if you think something should not be done a certain a way.
You should also be prepared to walk away if clients continue to insist on being difficult because cutting your losses early will save you money and time in the long run.

Electrical Industry Manufacturer and Services Latest News
The Right Tooling At The Right Time Keeps The Job Moving
- Details
- Published: Tuesday, 10 March 2015 11:14
Ask any electrical contractor, even the most efficient ones, how many times they have been in the middle of a job only to find that the one tool they need just at that moment is the one that has been left in the van.
You may just be surprised at how often this situation occurs. Well now there is no need for this to happen anymore!
After undertaking significant research amongst electrical engineers and other potential end users in the field RIDGID has developed the new RE 60 Electrical Tool.
The RE 60 is a hand held, battery operated tool that is designed to give electrical contractors quick and easy access to tools for wire cutting and crimping of lugs as well as punching holes, as and when required using one piece of equipment without the need to do anything more than change the tool head. The RE 60 offers three tools in one unit. Furthermore, the RE 60 unit offers a 60 kN hydraulic force output to achieve these cutting, crimping and punching capabilities.
In terms of the tooling, the SC-60B Scissor Cutter Head allows operators to cut various types of armoured aluminium or copper cable without having to switch heads or buy a wide variety of tools. It features interchangeable blades for cutting armoured copper wire, aluminium building wire or fine stranded copper wire of up to 50 mm O.D.
The LR-60B Latching Round Head enables cable lugs to be crimped to cable of up to 300 mm². The slim design and ergonomic latching system also allow it to be used for work in tighter, hard to access spaces.
The PH-60B Hole Punching Head has the capacity to punch round holes of up to 63.5 mm O.D. in 3 mm thick mild steel. It is also compatible with punch dies from RIDGID and other manufacturers.
The interchangeable heads use the unique, patent-pending RIDGID QuickChange System™ to simplify and speed the tool head change-over process. The system incorporates a moveable collar that allows the operator to quickly and easily switch between the three interchangeable heads.
According to Enver Celik, Product Manager at RIDGID: "The RE 60 is going to be a real game changer for electrical contractors around the world who are continually looking to save time and money as well as reduce the number of tools they have to carry around. Industry feedback made it obvious to us that what was needed was a piece of equipment that could cut armoured cables, crimp lugs and punch access holes with a single tool. We responded to this need and it is all now possible with the new RE 60. Currently we know of nothing else like it on the market."
As well as the more obvious feature of time saving, equipment transport and handling the RE 60 also offers a design that makes it very easy to use one handed. There is also an integrated diagnostics set up, LED indicators and automatic ram retraction to give contractors the reassurance and performance confidence that comes with a design based on feedback from the industry itself.
The new RE 60 design also minimizes time and effort on the part of the operator. Compared with manual or ratcheting cutting tools that are more traditionally used by contractors that often take excessive amounts of time and energy from the operator to prepare, the RE 60 takes a matter of seconds to set up and use.
Furthermore, as compared with other systems on the market that require calibrating around every 10,000 cycles, the RE 60 service interval is 32,000 cycles. In other words, the unit can be used for at least three times longer than existing equipment before needing calibration.
This can also mean major money savings for the end user. Some electro-hydraulic cutting tools are very expensive, sometimes prohibitively so. With the QuickChange System, contractors are getting three different tools for the price of one. For convenience, the RE 60 has three heads and 13 crimping dies and punching accessories all of which fit into one handy, easily transported case.
Finally, commenting on feedback from users that have field tested the RE 60 Enver Celik said: "Users field testing the RE 60 have indicated that the unit more than matches the performance of individual tools. They also like the slim design and easy latching system of the RE 60 Crimp Head, as it makes it easy to access cables and crimp the lugs in confined spaces. The open design of the Cutting Head also gives them direct access to the cables, without the hassle of continually opening and closing latches. Speed is another major advantage – they can cut 50 mm armoured cables in seconds and they have the flexibility to cut all kinds of cable types and materials with the same head making light work of them all."

Celebrate Sisterhood 2016: April 2 - A Conversation with Mahisha Dellinger, CEO & Founder of the CURLS Empire
Attendees of the Cleveland Clinic Celebrate Sisterhood program in Beachwood on April 2 benefitted from a personable, dynamic speaker, Ms. Mahisha Dellinger, CEO and Founder of Curls Empire. With much grit and determination, Ms. Dellinger was able to leave abject poverty and create a multimillion dollar hair care dynasty.
In an extemporaneous and charismatic manner, she shared excerpts from her book, "Against All Odds: From the Projects to the Penthouse" to a receptive audience. Participants learned about tools that can be used to embrace a wealth mindset and the essentials of entrepreneurship: get a life coach, find a mentor, be extraordinary, do your homework, know your weaknesses; the art of negotiation, build a support group, be confident, be resilient, write a business plan, network and, above all, just do it.
Typically, Celebrate Sisterhood topics embrace health issues for multicultural women. However, Linda Bradley, MD, founder and chair of Celebrate Sisterhood, chose this speaker and topic related to financial health literacy because wealth disparities frequently impact health choices among her patients. Celebrate Sisterhood continues to utilize robust community-based avenues for health information exchange and aligns with the goals of population health management.

Dr. Mark Hyman and Dr. Linda Bradley provided a scholarly and groundbreaking approach on how to live better, longer and with fewer chronic diseases---JUST COOK! Attendees learned numerous cooking techniques, savored new spices, and enjoyed five recipes that emphasized flavor, ease of preparation, and great taste. Select recipes from Dr. Hyman's recent book 10-Day Detox Diet Cookbook were prepared, demonstrated and tasted during the cooking class.
The cooking fest was interspersed with sobering health statistics and articulated the importance of self-care. Attendees learned about which foods to routinely add to their diet, beneficial supplements, the importance of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, legumes and the necessity of exercising daily.
Celebrate Sisterhood 2015: October 17 Health & Wellness Summit
More than 800 people attended this year's robust annual summit, "Celebrate Sisterhood (SM) Multicultural Health & Wellness Summit: Pathways to Discovering a Healthier You!" held at Executive Caterers at Landerhaven.
Sisterhood was palpable throughout the day. Comments from one attendee summarized it best when she wrote, "This program was riveting. I finally got the wake-up call for me to prioritize my health and realize that the easy choice and only choice is the healthy choice. Thank you for helping me understand the complexity of health problems that I might have if I don't change. More importantly, thank you for teaching me how to take the first steps to change my behavior."
The multifaceted speakers were animated and reflective, providing sobering healthcare statistics and the rationale to change. Throughout the day the speakers, Cleveland Clinic health screening teams, and even a group of Cleveland Clinic Lerner College of Medicine students extolled the vision that health should be the norm, not the exception. The ballroom buzzed as women talked about the economic and moral imperative to change and discussing ways to make their health a higher priority.
The Celebrate Sisterhood 2015 Summit had two powerful speakers and an engaging panel of gynecologic experts. Michael Roizen, MD, gave an exhilarating keynote address, "This Is Your Do-Over: 7 Secrets to Losing Weight, Living Longer, and Getting a Second Chance at the Life You Want." It was sobering, entertaining and educational. Dr. Leslie Cho, Director of Cleveland Clinic's Women's Cardiovascular Center, and Section Head, Preventive Cardiology and Rehabilitation, spoke on "Charting Your Path to a Healthier Heart." Finally, our panelists Valerie Montgomery Rice, MD, Dr. Margaret McKenzie and Dr. Linda Bradley, offered a rousing and comedic panel entitled "Everything You Ever Wanted to Ask Your Gynecologist, But Were Afraid to Ask." The panel was moderated by Dr. Leonor Osorio.
The program included food tastings, makeovers and opportunities to schedule appointments at the Cleveland Clinic at the event. A myriad of lifestyle exhibits, including recipes and healthy cooking tips, were offered.

– Featured Amazon.com Customer Review
"Very pleasant wintery scent. Cold scent is balsam with cedar. Lit, I can smell the juniper berries and musk scents, behind that is the cedar and balsam. Towards the end of this votive, it's mostly a balsam scent; I can understand people when they say it almost smells soapy. Wick burned well, and this votive lasted over 30 HOURS. This scent does not bother my allergies, it actually helps my breathing. Unlike most other people's experiences, I will say this has a light scent with a medium throw. I can smell this much better with my fan going; otherwise the throw is rather stagnant only reaching about 6 feet away from the candle."– Amazon.com Review
