LOS ANGELES - The Target store in Compton, Calif., has all the familiar features of the retail chain: aisles of discount merchandise, a full-service pharmacy and a small army of sales clerks and cashiers in bright red shirts.
LOS ANGELES � The Target store in Compton, Calif., has all the familiar features of the retail chain: aisles of discount merchandise, a full-service pharmacy and a small army of sales clerks and cashiers in bright red shirts.
It also has something that most Targets don�t: Saundra Edwards. She�s the store�s social worker.
At least two days a week, the 64-year-old Edwards can be found walking the aisles, talking to store employees about problems large and small. One young man is battling depression; a middle-aged woman wants Edwards� advice on buying a home.
While making her rounds on a recent Monday morning, Edwards approached Audra Menefee, a fitting-room clerk who has turned to Edwards several times for help dealing with financial and family problems. Her husband was recently in a serious car accident, sending him to the hospital with a broken hip and leaving Menefee without a car. She now walks 2?miles to work.
Edwards reminded her to fill out her husband�s insurance paperwork, gave her advice on getting another car and provided warm words of encouragement.
Without Edwards, �I�d be sitting here crying because I wouldn�t know what else, who else � � Menefee said as the social worker handed her a tissue. �I�m glad she�s here because, boy, she�s been helping me a lot.�
When Target moved into Compton three years ago, the retailer knew it was taking a gamble. The city of 100,000 has a reputation marred by gang violence.
At the same time, urban areas have untapped riches: Their greater population density means a greater concentration of spending power.
�Urban markets tend to be � underserved by the national chains,� said retail analyst Patrick McKeever, who studies shopping trends for MKM Partners. But �there are some learning-curve issues, definitely. It�s just not as cookie-cutter as the growth in suburbs.�
When Target opened its Compton store, the company expected a higher risk of crime and took steps to address it � beefing up the store�s security detail and working with the city to get a sheriff�s substation on site. It even built the aisles lower than usual to make it easier for managers to monitor what was happening in the store.
But it didn�t anticipate that its work force � hired locally to provide the area with much-needed jobs � would be prone to absenteeism and turnover.
�There was domestic violence, teenage pregnancy. We�ve had situations where team members were homeless and living in their cars but still coming to work,� said Alice Reyes, head of human resources at the Compton Target. �More than half of my day was dealing with team-member concerns � �What should I do? Where should I go?� They needed someone to talk to, someone who would listen.�
So shortly after opening, Target contracted with ComPsych to provide a workplace counselor, borrowing an idea first tried at a Chicago Target.
ComPsych gave the assignment to Edwards, a divorced mother of four, based on her familiarity with the area and its issues.

By Johnny Edward:
Chelsea boss Antonio Conte has slammed his predecessors for snubbing Super Eagles star Victor Moses in the past.
Moses spent the last three seasons out on loan away from Chelsea while Jose Mourinho was in charge of the Blues, but he was handed a lifeline by Conte who took charge at Stamford Bridge this summer.
Conte whose side have chalked up six straight wins in the English Premier League scoring 17 goals without conceding a goal told Italian tabloid Gazzetta dello Sport that the 25-year-old Nigerian international possesses qualities that should ot be overlooked.
"I could see his potential from the first days of the summer training camp," Conte said.
"Moses has important qualities: technique, physical strength, the ability to cover seventy meters of the pitch.
"I find it incredible that someone like him has been underestimated."
Moses, a regular starter for the Blues since the 3-4-3 formation was adopted by Conte in October, has scored thrice in 13 appearances in all competitions this season.Copyright © 2020 Completesports.com All rights reserved.

Experiencing the transition to lower secondary school: Students' voices

This study seeks to explore how Norwegian students experience the transition to lower secondary school. Semi-structured interviews, observations, and letters were used to capture these experiences. The findings indicated that the students enjoyed the initial weeks of lower secondary school. Experiencing a safe psychosocial environment seemed to be a prerequisite for such enjoyment. Some changes related to the learning culture were difficult for the students to adapt to, and for some, the initial enjoyment declined half a year into lower secondary school. I argue that providing psychosocial support during this transition is crucially important. In order to adjust support and expectations in line with the students' levels of competence, teachers must be aware of the changes the students are encountering.

Typicity #rhone Jamet fails to surprise here. Cheesy cheap ass label. #viognier overpriced — 11 days ago
Solid. Clean. #saintjoseph #rhone #syrah — 4 months ago
Delicious, bramble fruit wave greets you up front but then you get that wet stone taste and a little bit of spice at the end; velvety tannins trail off for a while. Great #rhone #syrah wine but the 2015 bottle prices seem to be getting a little out of hand. This Syrah paired pretty well with a Lamb Souvlaki plate at a BYOB Greek restaurant - I have to say the wine outshone the kebabs, though. — a year ago
Smoky plum meets dank river and beef and ham's baby on blacktop, with black rye, oregano, deer spoor, clay, and blackened corn meal. Medium mouthfeel, sharp plum-skin plus cranberrythat softens to raspberry and dried strawberry, rhubarb and miracle berry. Actually holding up well since 2005. #cdp #châteauneuf #chateauneufdepape #rhone #rhoneblend #frenchwines #xavier #anonyme #xaviercdpanonyme — 2 years ago
Uninterrupted rim saturation. Dark plum with rich pressed blackberry aromas; Applewood charcoal smoke, suede, and charred bacon. Violets and safe vie for recognition through a textbook panoply. Black and red plum bounce in the thick blackberry, with thyme and rosemary now, black pepper dusted grilled meat, dried lavender and sapling oak, blue spruce nettle, morel, pencil shavings, cottonseed, cassis, and black currant. There is an iron feel sifting through fine earth dust that seems to re-emerge on the finish. This is a real beauty with a stunning combo of finess and sinewy, farm strength. Sun-bronzed and Hands-on, she is a perfect assimilation of her environment. Great look!

Solid #syrah with #gamey touches and that sort of lavender black olive spice with potential for bottle aging. Very pleasant. #rhone #hermitage #crozeshermitage — 9 months ago
Good #rhone blend - tart with wild cherry, herb and spice hints but a little too heavy handed on the oak. — a year ago

Recent Interior Decorators Reviews in Humboldt
AInspired Designs by MarilynWorking with Marilyn was super easy, relaxing and fun! She was responsive, had great ideas, a pleasing personality, and reasonable pricing. Marilyn helped us get over the 'feeling inundated' stage to moving on to the 'implementation' stage. Marilyn will be as involved as you want her to be. In our situation we wanted to be very involved in the process so she provided the much needed guidance. She met us at several stores to provide guidance on scale, color, etc. She also met us at home when the mason came which was very helpful as she had great suggestions. She gave us lots of good ideals on potential projects in the home. We enjoyed working with Marilyn and highly recommend her!- Jackie O.
AInspired Designs by MarilynMarilyn is extremely easy to work with. She listens carefully and comes up with great ideas. She quickly understood our priorities and used them as her guiding principles throughout the process. I tell her she saved my marriage many times during the home building journey. I would recommend Marilyn to anyone who has a design project of any scope. Marilyn is an absolute joy!- Sheila J.
ADoug Van PattenDoug built a bathroom for us in the crawl space off our basement. We wanted a basic utilitarian bathroom . . . and for a very reasonable cost that equalled the lowest of two other estimates, Doug built us the prettiest bathroom in our home! His work is exceptional. He is an artisan craftsman and does virtually everything himself from start to finish. Doug is a pleasure to work with, a truly trusted professional!- Sheryl C.
ADoug Van PattenWorked with Doug and Erin in two phases to reface fireplace, paint and interior design services for master bedroom, living room and hallway. We had used Doug and Erin earlier in the year to completely remodel our kitchen. They are both easy to work with and professional in all the work they do. If you want to work with someone who does excellent work, has integrity and is honest, please choose Doug and Erin Van Patten.- Joyce T.
AInspired Designs by MarilynPerfectly. She was helpful in every possible way, from spotting issues with the house plans and helping with the layout, to making suggestions about where to spend on quality items and where to save money. She had a hand in planning and decorating the house from top to bottom. She even hung our pictures. She was sensitive to our tastes and budget, and diplomatic at all times. In short, her ideas and assistance were more than worth her reasonable fees.- Margaret A.
AInspired Designs by MarilynMarilyn dialed into my taste expertly and brought over some excellent fabric books and, sure enough, the perfect one jumped out. She has a superb upholsterer, Trini, who is a master at the job. He also got rid of the pesky squeaks that one of the chairs had developed. The fabric was expensive, which I was aware of when I chose it. The cost of upholstering was also an investment, but, for me, well worth it. These chairs will be around a long time and will be looking distinctive and beautiful all the while. I am very satisfied and would happily contact Marilyn again.- Sharon S.
AInspired Designs by MarilynMarilyn was wonderful. She worked on my time schedule and within my budget. She found new, beautiful ways to use items from my old house. She helped me pick out new fixtures and showed me how to use items I found in second hand shops. All in all, it was a great experience and I would use her again!- Sandy K.
AAdorn Interiors LLCMelanie has provided excellent advice and ideas and the house is becoming what we envisioned for our retirement home. The best thing about Melanie is that she listens to our ideas and doesn't push what she thinks we should do. At the same time she will tell us if she thinks what we want to do won't work and why. We highly recommend Melanie and her crew at ADORN.- MARY C.
AInspired Designs by MarilynGetting ready to put my home up for sale on the MLS, I asked Marilyn to look over my home and make suggestions that would help it sell quickly. Marilyn charged $80 for an hour of initial consultation. It was definitely worth the time and money. She made suggestions that were right on to help me update the house and make it much more presentable, without spending a lot of money. That's what I wanted, was cost effective suggestions. Both my wife and I were very impressed with what she suggested. We ended up implementing about 80% of all her suggestions. Guess it paid off because the house sold VERY quickly. We placed it on the MLS on Thursday, held an open house Saturday and received an offer that evening. Finalized negotiations the next morning. So, a total of 3 days on the market. Can't get a whole lot better than that. I'm sure the things we did based on her suggestions played a major part in being able to sell so quickly.- Gary T.
ABussell InteriorsExcellent interior design. Excellent rethinking improved functionality. Excellent color selection. Excellent customer focus. Excellent attention to customer needs. Fun and easy to work with. Knowledgeable and experienced. Manages subcontractors well. Puts in the extra effort and works very hard. Project management is great when not overloaded: when overloaded, recommend scope defined completion dates. Has an eye for what is done well but highly dependent on the quality of subcontractors: recommend joint quality control checks after each subcontractor completes work. "A" overall rating.- Mark M.

This concluding chapter pulls together some of the threads in this book. As mentioned in the Introduction, research on private supplementary tutoring is beginning to catch up with the scale of the phenomenon, but has far to go. As such, the contributors to this book are at the forefront of an emerging and very significant field. Insofar as shadow education mimics regular schooling, it may be argued that approaches to research should also mimic.

The end of social distancing can't come fast enough for several reasons. People need to get back to work. Kids, mine included need to get back to school. And we all need a little social interaction. One of my favorite social interactions is having a drink and dining in hotel bars and restaurants. A hotel restaurant that comes quickly to mind is The Whitfield at the Ace Hotel in Pittsburgh, PA.
Yes, I live here now, but the first time I visited The Whitfield was in 2016 as a hotel guest. If you've never stayed at an Ace Hotel, I do recommend it as a nice departure from the usual chains, assuming where you are traveling to has one. Ah traveling… remember that? Anyway I traveled here with my old boss back in 2016, and we had dinner at The Whitfield. I remember getting a fantastic cocktail from the lobby bar, then having a delicious steak and wine for dinner.
The following morning, we skipped getting their breakfast, but enjoyed coffee at the bar. I look forward to the day that the restaurant (and others) opens up again for dining in. There's something about being in the setting of a restaurant that I miss very much. And we have a lot of good choices here in Pittsburgh. My wife and I enjoy Butcher & The Rye, and had our last anniversary dinner at a French restaurant called Poulet Bleu. Last summer we enjoyed a modern take on classic Italian at Bar Marco in The Strip District. And I recently (before everything shut down) met up with fellow Pittsburgh style enthusiasts Nick – Quintessential Gent & Jon – The Kavalier at Sienna Mercato.
Life will likely not return to normal as we knew it, but restaurants will open up again. We will again be social. I will take my wife and daughter out to fun meals whether here in the North Hills, or down in the city to The Whitfield where I know they both want to eat. Or somewhere in New York City or Mexico or France. We all just need to be patient and let the people working on the front lines do their job so we can beat this thing.
Stay safe, everyone!

Sports betting handle at Indiana sportsbooks fell more than 20% in June despite the state's casinos opening their doors again and sporting events slowly starting to return. The June sports betting handle total in Indiana was $29,783,580, a 20.2% decline from May's $37,334,940 amount, according to figures that the state released Friday.
Online wagering was off nearly 50% at both Hollywood Lawrenceburg (PointsBet) and French Lick Resort (BetRivers), helping to account for a decline of more than $8 million in mobile sports betting for the month, state figures showed. Indiana had $29,149,096 in mobile sports betting handle for June, down from the May total of $37,334,940 by 21.9%.
Casinos in Indiana reopened June 15 after being closed for months in response to the coronavirus pandemic. But the statewide retail sports betting total in June was just $634,486. And overall sports betting revenue dropped from $3,179,968 in May to $2,922,108, an 8.1% fall.
|Down 21.9%
|Down 20.2%
Having a robust mobile sports betting market allowed Indiana to continue drawing revenue even as sports were shutting down this spring. Offering exotic options such as Korean baseball, German basketball and darts, Indiana sportsbooks pulled in more than $37 million in sports betting handle in May even with all of its brick-and-mortar casinos closed.
With major sports leagues such as the NBA, MLB and NHL still weeks away from returning as June ended, Indiana sports bettors again turned to other sports. The "other" category accounted for $20,408,642 in sports betting handle in June.
Casino reopenings did at least boost the overall income for Indiana gaming in June. Total casino win (tables plus EGD) in June was $105,061,605 and taxable AGR for gaming was $98,904,685. Both figures were $0 in both April and May with casinos closed because of the coronavirus.
Before COVID-19 began shuttering both casinos and sports leagues, Indiana was on a strong pace to begin 2020. The state, which took its first legal sports bets in September 2019 and launched mobile sports betting shortly thereafter, raked in more than $187 million in sports betting handle in February, following a strong January figure of $170 million.
That's not close to the figures in New Jersey or Pennsylvania, but still showed promise for a new market in a somewhat smaller state (population about 6.7 million). The growth Indiana initially displayed was not unlike that of New Jersey in The Garden State's early days of sports betting.
Major sportsbooks such as DraftKings, FanDuel, BetMGM, PointsBet, BetRivers and Caesars entered the Indiana market quickly in 2019 and early 2020. The DraftKings sportsbook, through its partnership with Ameristar Casino in East Chicago, has led the pack in Indiana throughout 2020 and continued to do so in June, drawing $18,239,086 in mobile bets and $18,430,007 overall.

It can feel impossible to persuade someone with strong views. This is in part because we look for information to confirm what we already know and avoid or dismiss facts that are opposed to our core beliefs.
However, it is not impossible to sway someone.
We all tend to overrate the power of arguments we find convincing, and wrongly think the other side will be converted. It is pointless to argue a point that your opponents have already dismissed.
The answer is not to simply expose people to another point of view. Find out what resonates with them. Frame your message with buzzwords that reflect their values.
To try and sway the other side, use their morals against them. People have stable morals that influence their worldview.
However, reframing in terms of values might not turn your opponent's view, but can soften his stance and get him to listen to counterarguments.
Your ideological opponents want to feel like they've been heard. The key is to let the opposition do most of the talking.
People learn lessons better when they come to the conclusion themselves. Listen to people, get them to think about their own experience, and highlight your common humanity. Letting them talk opens the door to reducing prejudice and changing opinions.

Frames, with respect to a discussion or argument, are different categories to 'slot' an idea or topic, just like a car can be evaluated by its color, price, or model number.
During the course of an argument, to increase compliance towards your belief, you can change the framing of the existing belief of the listener.

Chemistry is made up of subtle behaviors and dispositions that are felt by both parties equally.
It could be the way someone laughs at your jokes or the way they talk to you or help you. The absence of chemistry is normally displayed in the lack of emotional intensity.
High compatibility between people comes from the similarities in their lifestyles and values.
Educated people usually date other educated people. Religious people usually date other religious people. People that are not compatible normally repel one another.

Everything that's been going on in the world is a wake up call. I have faith that this is a grand awakening. We're all a part of it. All of us need to stand up to oppression where ever and whenever we witness it around us. Supporting Black Lives Matter and other organizations that are working on raising awareness and advocating for system change is something we all need to support.
As I've marched, spoken to my black friends, witnessed and heard their pain I've started to think about how important it is to build a strong foundation of health in order to support others.
The ability to hold space for others, to hear the pain in their voices, share in their heart break requires that we ourselves are of strong mind and body. In this blog I want to share my top tips for how to boost your own health so that you're able to help others.
Remember when we used to be able to fly? I remember those days. Before...
What are you addicted to? Do you know? For many people food is a common addiction.
Fast foods, fried foods, processed foods... These are all common foods that people are addicted to. Besides food, people are also addicted to anything from binge-watching Netflix, shopping, alcohol, drugs, sex or any number of other things.
In this blog I'm going to focus on how food can be addictive.
With food there's the habit of reaching for a certain food as a coping mechanism, or as an escape. Once you get into the habit of doing that, your body can also become chemically addicted to that food.
In fact, many processed foods are formulated to ensure you become addicted! Sugar is a prime example. Sugar is highly addictive, more addictive than cocaine.
Sugar actually changes your gut microbiome. Once that happens, the bacteria in your gut actually screams out for more sugar. You can want to stop eating sugar, but the...
Thankfully I kept learning about glyphosate and now I'm grateful that I didn't ignore this very real problem in our modern diet.
Let's get the pronunciation out of the way and then I'll fill you in on why this isn't something you want to ignore.
The word is pronounced Gly-PHO-Sate.
So what exactly is glyphosate and why should you care? Glyphosate is a water soluble toxin that can be found in the herbicide Roundup. It's used mostly in farming and sprayed onto crops like oats, corn, soy and many others. Due to the fact that it's water soluble, it has the ability to travel anywhere in the environment. Since we live on a planet that's made up of mostly water, glyphosate is in the soil, air and water.
And there lies the rub.
Unlike other toxins that might be fat soluble, because glyphosate is water soluble it can go anywhere there's...
Fact: 65% of your immune system is housed in your gut. There's more serotonin in your gut than your brain. If your gut bacteria is out of balance, the rest of your body will also be out of balance and you may find yourself getting sick more often.
What gets your gut out of whack?
The #1 suspects are poor food choices. Especially highly processed foods, fried foods, and sugar. They feed the bad bacteria and drown out the good bacteria living in your gut microbiome.
You may find your mood is affected if you're ingesting a lot of processed sugars. If you're getting moody highs and lows look at your diet. It's a vicious circle because stress also has a huge impact on your gut health.
Have you ever noticed that when you're stressed out that things don't feel right in your gut? That feeling can...

Amelia has loved pre-school and we have seen her develop as a result of her time here, not only in ability but also in confidence. However, she is now more than ready for primary school! Annette and Tillingham Pre-school have been so supportive, not only in Amelia's development, but in every aspect. I have always felt comfortable leaving her. It is such a lovely environment, nurturing and loving, and learning is approached by the staff in such a way that Amelia has never felt under pressure or inadequate. Annette has been the most perfect keyperson for Amelia. Annette really understands Amelia, drawing on her strengths and working with me on her weaknesses. Amelia has already told me she will miss Annette, Emma, Dolly…………. and goes on to list near enough everyone!!!

Michael PHELPS 略歴
Michael Phelps is arguably the greatest Olympian ever. Some might argue that Usain Bolt, Carl Lewis or Nadia Comaneci have a claim. But for sheer numbers of medals claimed, there is a clear, hands-down winner: Michael Phelps. Even given the fact that Phelps practices a sport in which extremely capable athlete can bag golds across different distances and strokes, his feats still blow away those of any other sportsperson.
Phelps has 28 medals in total: his 23 gold medals are more than double the count of his nearest rivals, and its not as if other swimmers have accrued silly numbers of medals, either. Apart from Spitz, Matt Biondi (USA, eight golds) and Jenny Thompson (USA, eight golds), no other swimmer worldwide has managed more than six gold medals in total. 23 is astonishing.
Phelps was born in Baltimore on June 30, 1985, and got serious with the sport after joining the North Baltimore Aquatic Club. He was raised by mother Deborah, alongside his sisters Hilary and Whitney, after his parents divorced.
A prodigy at his sport, he went to Sydney 2000 aged just 15 –the youngest man in the USA team for an Olympic Games in 68 years). He came close to the podium only in the 200m butterfly, where he finished fifth. From then on, he would dominate the next four Games, finishing the most decorated athlete at every one. In Athens he won six gold medals and two bronzes, falling just short of Mark Spitz's world record (seven golds at Munich 1972).
Beijing 2008 would see the greatest ever medal haul by a single athlete in an Olympic Games. Phelps won eight golds – every event he entered – and broke World Records in seven of them. His record looks unlikely to be surpassed any time soon.
London 2012 was also astonishing – he got four golds and two silvers – while Rio 1016 saw him stage a historic comeback (he had decided to retire after London), aged 31, to bag five gold medals and one silver.
He is now retired and is married to Nicole, with whom he has three sons, Boomer, Becker and Maverick. Phelps works for his own charitable foundation, which has a particular emphasis on the mental health of children.

About meI am an outstanding individual, with an overwhelming desire to bring my flair, originality and motivation to the creative table. I have worked mostly in public relations, marketing and policy work, but where my real talent lies is in writing. I have had two novels published and I am currently writing another two. My creative talent with the pen has also seen me write speeches for Government ministers and Prime Ministers, whilst I have delivered some highly successful events in the public, private and third sectors.
At the moment, I am taking charge of my thriving freelance business, dealing with global requests for creative writing; advertising/public relations plans; copywriting; article/blog writing; digital photography; digital photographic/film editing, as well as editing/proofreading. Since doing this, I have successfully delivered amazing and inspiring work that has had my own personal fingerprint on it, such as eye-catching posters for local shops to help revive our high-street; or developing flyers for a number of charities to boost fundraising; orchestrating advertising plans for several companies to boost growth; ghostwriting a novella; editing a short movie, and writing hundreds of blogs for people and companies.
I am however looking for a new challenge by going into the world of media production. Working on set is something that excites me; I am eager to get going and I have got no problem with starting at the bottom and working my way up the ranks.
Additional InformationNo matter where I have worked, I have delivered first-class communication. Both my written and verbal communication skills are second to none - an ability that has allowed me to write orchestrated advice and guidance on policy matters at the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP), informative press releases at Toyota UK, and relay in-depth Ministerial briefings at the Ministry for Housing, Communities and Local Government (MHCLG). I also take pride in my diplomatic demeanour, a flair that has ensured that my relations with ministers, key stakeholders and the public are delivered in a calm, confident manner.
I am no stranger to long-term projects that focus on strategical goals. Whilst at MHCLG, I was responsible for three governmental, nationwide projects, including Near Neighbours and Remembering Srebrenica. As part of the development of these projects, I implemented targets and milestones in the projects' funding stream, objectives that had to be met at certain intervals to ensure that the project was on-track and was bringing the Government the maximum value for money. My attention to detail and passion for quality allowed these projects to flourish, ensuring that they developed with their own financial initiative, which at the same time restricted taxpayers' spending.
Needless to say, I am a professional, enthusiastic individual, with substantial experience at administration. I thrive in industrious environments, yet my creative talent and pursuit for perfection remain undiminished. I am a self-motivated and adaptable individual, so I am able to work well by myself, whilst also contributing to the team ethic. Thanks to my talent for organisation and experience at working in very busy offices, I am proficient in the meeting of deadlines and re-prioritising work, whilst I am also very experienced at most computer packages.
RefereesI have a number of references from a wide variety of fields - politics, charities, previous employers. I can provide these on request.

What a time it is to sell software-defined wide area networking (SD-WAN) services.
The experts seem to agree that the technology has gone mainstream among customers, and early SD-WAN adopters need bigger pockets to hold all the return on investment. Many of us wondered in previous years if SD-WAN's bark was bigger than its bite, but study after study shows that adoption is matching the hype.
"It's picking up momentum — less theoretical and now put into practice," said Corey Cohen, vice president of marketing for TBI, which is reporting a 700% year-over-year SD-WAN sales increase.
Stefanie Whittington, vice president of brand experience for QOS Networks, said customers are more and more aware of SD-WAN's possible benefits.
"From making their application performance more stable to enabling better flexibility in connectivity choices, SD-WAN has become the preferred solution that forward-thinking companies are adopting," Whittington said.

When we talk about how hard it is to cancel SaaS subscriptions, it's not just a sales tactic. We really mean it. The SaaS industry thrives on making it easy for anyone to trial and buy – and harder to cancel. Whether companies bury restrictive language in their contracts, or hide behind vague terms to keep you from leaving, some practices have become downright predatory. One software VC firm even had to write up the five most unethical sales practices as a reminder to companies in its space. Apparently not everyone plays nice.
Recently Cleanshelf had a run in with a particularly nasty vendor.
Unauthorized credit card charges?
Disappearing customer support?
You bet.
Misrepresented contract terms?
Of course.
Cancellation quandary
So, what happened? Well, one of our company goals is to constantly improve our connection with customers and prospects. To better engage with website visitors, we recently trialed a chatbot service called Drift. After a month of testing, we concluded it wasn't a fit and immediately cancelled. No big deal. This was in May.
Imagine our surprise, when, in June, we were hit with an additional $550 subscription charge. (Yes, we use our own product and Cleanshelf flagged the expense. Yay!) Immediately, we wrote to Drift's customer support and shared the mistake.
Five days later (yes, FIVE!) a Drift rep responded that we should "give them 30 day notice for cancellations." We did a double check and, as expected, this wasn't in the contract or explicitly communicated anywhere. No doubt this is standard process: it sounds legit enough, probably scares off most companies and lets them squeeze a few hundred bucks from unsuspecting customers.
But not us.
The saga continued ...
We reconnected with Drift and reminded them of our intent to cancel. We even shared the date-stamped email proving our request. Case closed, right?
Not quite.
One month later, Drift hit us with another $550 charge.
Apparently there's a disconnect between sales, customer support and a new-to-us team called Customer Advocacy when there's money on the line. Someone didn't get the memo we cancelled, or that our bank was investigating the charge. Even the name of the team we were dealing with was a misnomer; it sure didn't feel like anyone was advocating for us.
One process was working, however.
An automated message from a cheery-looking avatar on Drift's Conversational Marketing Customer Service Team showed up in our inbox a month later:
"Hey Dusan, did you have any feedback for us?"
SaaS cancellation is a nasty business. We know this first hand and from the countless stories we hear from our customers. That is why we created the Cleanshelf platform. Companies with dozens or hundreds of SaaS apps can't be expected to manually manage a growing suite of services and terms. Renewal dates come and go. Surcharges and price increases get quietly applied. Overages and drawn out cancellations are the new normal in the cutthroat world of business apps.
Cleanshelf lets growing companies stay on top of their subscription software. Dashboard views of license and vendor use, department breakdowns, pricing intelligence and renewal reminders make it easier than ever to get the most out of your SaaS budget.
Tired of dealing with bad SaaS actors?
Give us a call today.
Ready to start controlling your enterprise SaaS?

Royalty Inspired Victorian Jewellery
Queen Victoria reigned over Great Britain from 1836 to 1901 and it is often believed that it was her love and affection for her husband and children that inspired the romantic and sentimental era of Victorian jewellery. It was a time of hugely contrasting classes, social responsibility and dictating etiquette and manners which was reflected in the era's jewellery production. Queen Victoria, and therefore Victorian jewellery, popularized mourning jewellery, jewellery
Vintage costume jewellery
Nothing livens up an outfit more than a piece (or pieces) of vintage costume jewellery which I found out when I wondered into Chilton's Antiques at Bondi (they're also located in Miranda) and walked out with costume jewellery from a bygone era.

I love this shirt soooo much! I also loved the capacity to personally size the image. Not flimsy, fits well, and the image falls well when it's on my body. I'm a-ok to be a walking advertisement for Kathy's work! I know the artist had some issues with shirts, and has discontinued that option, and I'm beyond thrilled to have one before that occurred. Did it take a while to ship? Yes. Perhaps 5 wks. But they were responsive to my queries. I ordered other print-on-demand items from another vendor during this, and it was the same. No biggie. Patience is a virtue. And in this case, a splendorous reward.

This is a group for people who wish to double their self-confidence and communication skills through effective training.Your communication and self-confidence will affect your personal life, social life, as well as your professional life. You may be already aware of that, yet maybe you don't have the tools to effectively improve them.The reason is that currently the society you live in is insufficiently aware of the tools to help you improve communication and self-confidence. Every few families, schools, or work-related training programs effectively help people develop self-confidence and communication skills. In fact, many of them INHIBIT people's communication and self-confidence.Thus, currently people who wish to change their lives to the better MUST take the matter into their own hands. If that's you, you belong to this group.We will have weekly meetings at the Dianetics & Scientology Life Improvement Center near Marconi and Watt in Sacramento to help members learn effective tools to develop self-confidence and effective communication skills. If you are interested, join us now. Feel free to call me (the group organizer, Tony) at 916-519-5287 for any questions.
Online event
One of the biggest barriers of effective communication and public speaking, in fact, one of the biggest barriers of your happiness in life, is your difficulty with unabashedly showing yourself and who you really are to the world.
Many things in life cause you to want to hold yourself back, inhibit yourself, and hide who you truly are, but your urge to hide is inhibiting your happiness, self-confidence, communication, and of course your public speaking skills.
In this meeting, you will learn a tool to show who you truly are and command your environment as yourself. You can let yourself go and show your true colors and, oddly enough, become a leader in the process.
I look forward to meeting the real "you"!
This group is created by the Dianetics & Scientology Life Improvement Center.

In my previous role as a Retail Ocean Copywriter, I was part of a staff of three, and we had projects that were team-oriented as well as many that were individually assigned to us. Those interested in copywriting need to have an innate talent for the work and rely less on on-the-job training, as it is a demanding job that requires constant creativity.
This is the first time you will be communicating with your company of interest, so it is suggested that you research as much as you can about the company beforehand.
Working as a freelance writer I have had to use my initiative to source projects and contacts. Fix spelling and grammar mistakes. Your cover letter is an important first step when trying to land a job.
Many templates are out there that can get you started but they can look clunky or unoriginal. Following is a sampling of the wide variety of projects and different business sectors I worked with: Weekly blog posts for a floral shop.
I look forward to bringing my talent for creating compelling copy to River Tech. As your copywriter position requires expertise similar to mine, I believe I would serve Palmer Industries, Inc. My Perfect Cover Letter is your solution and takes the hassle out of cover letter writing.
Doing some simple searches may lead you to finding companies you want to work for.
