1. never sacrifice your customers AND your employees
your happy customers are the ones who pay you, and your employees are the one who make the customers happy
in the middle of crisis, it's easy to find some money by cutting some benefit to the customers or cut the training budget.
don't do that!
once you cut budget from the benefit of customers or employees, you just start your doom loop. not very long, either your company will be closed or sold.
2. want productivity? find it properly
again, when cash is rare, it is tempting to find the cash from your growth & intangible investment: training,new product/R&D, quality improvement efforts, and advertising/branding
you should not take those easy way rather find it diligently by walking through your overall process and the total cost.
for instance:
does the current sourcing method while give you short therm lower price, but in the long term give you more expensive total cost?
does the decision to cut your advertising, while it give you immediate cash, that will make the overall business strategy in danger?
3. in the middle of the storm, you got to be open
crisis creates panick attack for everybody
if the business leader(s) keep their mouth shut, the rumors/gossips will take over the leadership. employee insecurity and unhappiness increase….customers are upset
reverse that loop by start communicating honestly

NHAI plans to develop roads overseas amid domestic shortfall2 min read . Updated: 11 May 2017, 02:43 PM IST
NHAI plans to build roads in neighbouring countries s it seeks to strengthen its position in South Asia amid the growing influence of China
NHAI plans to build roads in neighbouring countries s it seeks to strengthen its position in South Asia amid the growing influence of China
News Delhi/Mumbai: India plans to develop roads in neighbouring countries as it seeks to strengthen its position in South Asia amid the growing influence of China.
State-owned National Highways Authority of India plans to build roads abroad even as it falls short of construction targets at home and seeks to raise funds overseas to finance local projects.
"There are lots of offers for us," transport minister Nitin Gadkari said in an interview in New Delhi on Wednesday. The road-building authority, or NHAI, will bid for projects in nations that are part of the South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation and has begun talks with the Sri Lankan government, he added.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi is visiting the island nation on 11-12 May, at a time when India is intensifying efforts to push back rival China which has been investing in projects in Sri Lanka, Bangladesh and Pakistan. This includes a $50 billion spend in countries that are part of President Xi Jinping's Belt and Road development initiative, according to a report by the official Xinhua News Agency.
India is funding a $350 million development of an 84-tank oil storage facility and has plans to set up a refinery in Sri Lanka. It has also signed agreements worth $9.24 billion with Bangladesh to fund power plants and supply liquefied natural gas.
Local shortfall
NHAI is at the centre of India's infrastructure ambitions as Modi's government races to meet its $387-billion target to build roads and ports to improve connectivity in the world's fastest growing major economy before national elections in 2019. It however fell short of the government's highways construction target of 42 kilometers a day, developing an average 23 kilometers of roads every day.
Delays in acquiring land and environment clearances, poorly performing contractors and public protests slowed construction of highways, junior road minister P. Radhakrishnan told the Parliament in March. The government is betting that cheaper overseas funds will help it meet its road development target.
"Land acquisition costs have increased. So our mission is to see how we can reduce the cost of construction," Gadkari said. "We're trying our level best to see how we can make roads more economically viable," he added.
NHAI's first Masala bond offer worth Rs50 billion ($774 million) is expected to list on the London Stock Exchange shortly and the government expects "competitive and attractive" rates for its bonds from insurers, pension funds and Korean and Japanese bankers, Gadkari said. Bloomberg

With exactly two weeks left until Star Wars: The Last Jedi hits theaters, a new photo of the enigmatic character DJ, played by Benicio del Toro, has emerged, along with new details from the actor himself. There is very little we know about this character up until now, except that he is an expert "slicer," the Star Wars universe term for a computer hacker, and that he is sought out by Finn (John Boyega) and Rose Tico (Kelly Marie Tran) on their mission to the casino planet of Canto Bight. Empire Magazine revealed a new photo of DJ, with the actor offering some new details about this character, who is not to be trusted.
"This character could come straight out of a Bob Dylan or Tom Waites song, or even a Dostoyevsky novel. He's like something out of Dickens; there have been characters like him in all kinds of literature. He's like a knife: if you grab him by the blade, he'll cut you. If you grab him by the handle, he can be very, very useful."
Last week, a new TV spot debuted that featured a brief glimpse at DJ, which seemed to hint that he was working for the First Order, although it has also been said that this character is actually playing both sides, using whichever side benefits him the most. This character supposedly has no allegiance to either side, only being loyal to himself alone, so it will be interesting to see how he fits into the story. Whether or not DJ survives this highly-anticipated movie and returns in Star Wars: Episode IX is currently uncertain, but DJ fans will get to learn more about this character in the new year.
We reported in October that this character will be getting his own Star Wars comic book, Star Wars: The Last Jedi DJ #1, which will available for purchase on January 31. The comic, written by Ben Acker and Ben Blacker, reveals "a day in DJ's life just before his appearance in the film." No specific details were given, but it's possible that this comic will show how he ends up in a Canto Bight jail, which leads to Finn and Rose to break them out of jail because they are in need of his services. Regardless, it remains to be seen if any more details about this mysterious character will be revealed over the next 14 days.
We reported last week that the Star Wars: The Last Jedi opening weekend is shaping up to be quite huge, but not a record-breaker. The latest box office projections put the debut at $200 million, which is more than enough to be the top opening weekend of the year, but it still falls short of the all time record set by Star Wars: The Force Awakens, which took in a whopping $247.9 million in its opening weekend two years ago. Take a look at this new photo below, courtesy of Empire, as we wait for more on Star Wars: The Last Jedi, in theaters December 15.

|USS Yorktown
|Federation Starfleet
|Destroyed (2374/2375)
The USS Yorktown (NCC-61137) was a Zodiac-class Federation starship in service during the late 24th century.
In 2369, while under the mind control of interrogators on Tilonus IV, Commander William Riker believed that he met a woman named "Commander Bloom," who was first officer of the Yorktown, at the Tilonus Institute for Mental Disorders. (TNG: "Frame of Mind")
The Yorktown traveled from Theta Omicron IV to starbase Deep Space 9 on stardate 47550.1, under the command of Captain H. Zimmerman. (DS9: "Whispers")
The Yorktown later participated in the Federation's war against the Dominion beginning in 2374. (Ship Recognition Manual, Volume 1: The Ships of Starfleet)
According to Starbase23.net, the Yorktown was destroyed the following year at the Battle of Cardassia.
A Sovereign-class Yorktown was launched as a replacement in 2376, bearing the registry NCC-90276. (Decipher Games: Starships)
In the anti-time future created by Q, this Yorktown was still in service in 2395, assigned near the border with the Klingon Empire. Admiral William T. Riker informed retired Ambassador Jean-Luc Picard that he would have the Yorktown run long-range scans in the Devron system. (TNG: "All Good Things...")

text: Public protests are banned in Saudi Arabia The detentions took place on Saturday and Sunday and followed marches by hundreds of people on Friday in Qatif and the neighbouring town of Safwa. Local residents and a Shia website also reported the detentions, although interior ministry officials could not be reached for comment. Public protests are banned in Saudi Arabia, although the authorities have shown unusual leniency in tolerating some marches against Israeli attacks in Lebanon. The police did disperse a demonstration in the region on Thursday. "They have arrested some of the participants in the recent marches and even relatives of others they could not find," said a Qatif resident who asked to be identified only as Munir. Adil al-Labbab said one of his brothers was detained to put pressure on another to turn himself in. "Such a practice is against international law, local law and even God's law," said Munir. The kingdom, which fears the rising influence of Shia power in Iran, has denounced Israel's military campaign against Lebanon and called for a ceasefire, but has also blamed Hezbollah for provoking the conflict. On Tuesday, more than 2,000 marched in Qatif to denounce Israel's offensive in Lebanon. SOURCE: Reuters

8 Financial Factors Farmers Need to Consider for 2019
Posted November 29, 2018 by Administrator in Agribusiness, Featured | 0 comments
Farming has always been a risky occupation with slim margins, and 2019 will be no exception. Both livestock and crop farmers are feeling the financial squeeze, dairy farming and row-crop sectors in particular. Thankfully, not every trend is bleak. The following are several developments farmers need to be aware of to maximize their profits.
Positive Factors Affecting Farming Finances
There are several positive trends affecting the farming industry. These include:
- Unemployment is the lowest it's been in over five decades, coming in at 3.7%. Many agribusiness employees are also seeing an increase in salary.
- Experts expect consumer spending to remain stable as farmers continue to produce strong yields.
- Farmers have new opportunities at growth due to an increased interest in fresh foods, craft beer, and other ventures that call for specialty crops.
- Farmland value is stable with some small increases. This is significant for farmers who borrowed against their equity.
Negative Factors Affecting Farming Finances
While there are several notable trends to look forward to, farmers need to be aware of the negative aspects poised to influence the industry as well.
- Yields may be strong, but prices are not. In addition, just because a farmer can produce more doesn't mean he or she has enough space to store it before selling it. It may behoove farmers to produce slightly less to keep production costs down.
- Experts expect the cost for crop production to increase in 2019.
- A decrease in crop profitability isn't correlating to a decrease in rent. A visceral desire to control land can make rent negotiations tough, especially when there are other farmers willing to pay steep rent costs.
- While stable farmland prices is a good thing for established farmers, it's a challenge for those trying to get their foot in the door. Farmland value remains high, placing it out of reach for up and coming farmers.
Running a successful farming operation requires balancing risk against profit. For example, overreaching or poor planning can turn a successful yield into a financial disaster. Farmers who take the time to learn and plan for the above trends can navigate around the negative while capitalizing on the positive. To learn more about reducing your farming risk, contact the experts at Cline Wood.

D istinguished by unique exterior and interior design features, the 2010 XFR includes revised bumpers and lower front air intakes, sill extensions, hood louvres and grilles, four tailpipes, a trunk-lid spoiler, unique seats and 20-inch alloy wheels.
Also new for 2010 is Jaguar's AJ-V8 Gen III direct-injection engines, which deliver more power with comparable or better fuel economy and emissions than the engines they supersede.
The new XFR sports the company's next-generation design language, which is an attempt to modernize and update the classic Jaguar look for the 21st century. For the most part they've succeeded, although the demise of the leaping Jaguar hood ornament may disappoint more nostalgic Jaguar aficionados. -Jeff James

As always, it's been a while since I wrote something here. Anyway, I'm going to present here a new concept: cloud development. First of all I must say: the people of Cloud9 IDE (Mozilla bespin/skywriter has been merged into that) are already working on something similar to my idea, but not quite the same.
Gobby/Kobby are native (gnome, kde) collaborative editors which use the infinote protocol for collaborative editing. So you connect to a infinote server, and then you can see the files in that session, edit them, add/remove files, and chat with your colleagues.
None of those solutions provide real general purpose "cloud development" for me. These are the features I¡m looking for:
- The server side is a bunch of machines in a cloud configuration which provide an API.
- The server side provides compilation for languages like C/C++.
- The server side provides inexpensive VMs that can be easily cloned/forked.
- When you create a new project in the cloud, a new VM is given to you, and you can configure it as you like. There you install the deps for your project development, download the source code, etc.
- The server side has an rich API and has knowledge of high level concepts like:
- VMs that can be forked, and cloned, for creating new live sessions.
- Compilation, which can be done quickly and distributedly in the cloud.
- Execution, to be able to see and control remotely the execution and debugging of gui applications.
- The client side could as well be web app like with cloud9 ide, or it could be a native standalone application with "cloud development" support (Kdevelop, Eclipse, whatever..)
A simple cloud computing use case:
An Amarok developer configures a cloud development vm for trunk. Then he forks it, and creates a git branch in which he starts working in a new feature for amarok. This feature might need new libraries, difficult to compile. He doesn't know much about how to use this library and it's giving him headaches: he asks in the irc channel of #lib, and gives a link to clouddevelopment://kde.org/amarok/livesessions/featurex and the developer of libx sees the problem in the system while the amarok developer sees live how it's getting resolved.
Then he posts in his blog about his new feature, and some other amarok developers think it's really cool and connect to the feature branch's live session and improve a bit the code, effortesly.
As you can see, this would mean, among other things:
- No more "person1: it's broken! person2: it works here".
- No more pastebin: just connect to the live session and see (and even fix) the problem yourself.
- Configure the VM once, and then everyone can use it.
- You don't need to install all the deps in your system.
- If your computer breaks, you don't lose the data and configuration.
- You can access to different development environments that might require different versions of the same libs from your own computer, no dependency hell guaranteed, and no extra local disk usage.
- Compilation can be really fast and the speed of it would not depend on how powerful your computer is: you can have preconfigured already in the VMs an icecream+ccache set of computers.
- You could develop for KDE in Mac OS X within Linux, or Windows, or whatever you want.
Of course this is just an idea… and I don't currently have time for making it happen, but… wouldn't it be nice? I thought I had to share it =)

The Long Shop Museum was founded in 1984. An accredited museum, it is housed in a cluster of historic buildings in the Suffolk town of Leiston. These form part of the original 19th century works site of Richard Garrett and Sons. Garretts were world-famous manufacturers of steam engines and other agricultural machinery.
The Museum site covers over an acre. It includes eight historic buildings including one which is grade II, and The Long Shop – a prototype for assembly line production – which is grade II* listed. Beside the Museum, several other works buildings also remain. These have been converted to other uses but retain their character and enhance the Museum visit experience for visitors.
The Long Shop has excellent collections relating to Garretts including machinery, tools and many items that were made by the works during its over 200 years, from sickles to steam engines and from guns to dry cleaning machines. There are also significant collections relating to the Garret family including Elizabeth Garrett, the first woman doctor.
Leiston is an anomaly in the otherwise rural county of Suffolk. The museum explains the town's industrial character and how its residents shared in the industrial revolution that flourished in towns and cities in the Midlands and the North of England.
The Museum is committed to its local community and provides a vibrant focus for local cultural and heritage activities throughout the year. It is also developing as a centre for learning and offers pre-school, school and adult learning programmes.
The Long Shop makes an important contribution to the tourism offer locally, both in Leiston and in the Suffolk Coastal area, where it is an active player in Suffolk Coast DMO (destination management organisation). Attracting around 10,000 general visitors each year, The Long Shop is also a place of pilgrimage for people interested in industrial archaeology.
The Long Shop is an independent museum and registered charity (no. 1167945), run by the Long Shop Museum.
The Museum is governed by its board of trustees, which meets at least four times a year, A management group of Trustees, senior staff and volunteer team leaders meets monthly and supports the Curator in the day to day management of the Museum.
The Museum's gross income for 2013 was £199,164.
The Curator reports to the Board of Trustees. The Museum has two part-time and one full-time member of staff, including the Curator, and over 100 volunteers working in a variety of roles. A quarterly Volunteers Forum, with an elected chairman, allows all volunteers to find out about, discuss and contribute to museum plans and activities.
Friends of the Long Shop Museum is an independent organisation, with its own committee, which supports the work of the Museum, mainly through subscription income.

The IRS confirmed today that it has suspended a $7.2 million bridge contract awarded to Equifax for identity management and authentication services.
The decision comes one week after the agency received a torrent of criticism from members of Congress and the public for the award and less than one month after Equifax revealed that hackers had stolen the sensitive personal information of 145 million Americans. Yesterday, Equifax announced that code from a third-party vendor the company used to collect online performance data was pushing malware to visitors of its website.
In a statement to FCW, the IRS said the suspension was temporary and precautionary and that no IRS data was affected.
"During this suspension, the IRS will continue its review of Equifax systems and security. The IRS emphasized that there is still no indication of any compromise of the limited IRS data shared under the contract," the agency said.
At an Oct. 4 House hearing, IRS officials told lawmakers that a bid for identity management services and e-authentication of taxpayer identities was initially awarded to another contractor, later confirmed to be Experian Information Solutions. However, Equifax was the incumbent contractor for those services, and it filed a procurement protest that wouldn't be resolved until after the current contract expired.
According to IRS officials, that forced the agency to award a bridge contract or stop providing identity-proofing work for Secure Access, its online accounts and transcripts application.
The Government Accountability Office later disputed the assertion that IRS had no choice, saying contracting law allowed for the agency to start working with Experian by citing urgent and compelling circumstances that would significantly affect the interests of the U.S. government.
IRS said it will be unable to create new Secure Access accounts until the issue is resolved and a new contractor comes onboard, but current users will not be affected. Taxpayers will still have the option of receiving mailed transcripts in the interim.

The signs at Hannover main station welcome you to the trade fair town. A proud statement that is evidenced by the 131 hectares of space that I visited earlier this year for the industrial technology trade fair. President Obama decided to as well, touting the US manufacturing industry, as the key sponsor to this bi-annual event.
I toured the modern, functional halls, 26 in total, discovering block upon block of tooling, engineering and regional German state offerings, displaying products, services and new innovations. The Germans are the world champions of trade fairs, 2000 will be held in 2016, way ahead of USA with 1146, China with 592. In fact more Germans go to trade fairs than go to watch the German football league, another field they are world champions in.
So why are the Germans way ahead of the rest? Perhaps because they were the first to establish the idea. In 1165 Leipzig formed the first trading fair, where the local rulers set a precedent of only allowing local traders to trade within a mile radius of the town. And after the 2nd World War it was the British military that established Hannover as an export trade fair to support West German manufacturing that has now become the biggest trade fair site in the world.
So how does Great Britain fair in comparison? In Hannover I couldn't find any British manufacturers, which is a reflection perhaps of an economy that now focuses on service industries however, in 2016 the UK exhibited 589 trade fairs putting it in 4th place. That puts it above England's, Wales, Scotland's and Northern Ireland's world cup football ranking and is frankly a fair performance.

Dear Citizen,
The pizza you are about to enjoy will cook for ninety seconds in the oven, just enough time for the cheese to melt and the dough to unevenly brown and bubble. But Vytauras Sasnaukas has been thinking about this pizza, your pizza, for more than thirty years. His search for this elusive perfection has brought him from Lithuania to Cleveland to Naples, and finally home to Citizen Pie.
Growing up during the Soviet occupation, V remembers a diet of meat and potatoes, bacon, onions, sour cream. He was twelve when he first tried a round dough topped with cheese, hard-boiled egg, and olives. That Lithuanian "pizza" resembled in name only the pizzas he makes now—but for V, it was nevertheless a revelation. He began making pizza for his friends topping them with hot dogs and ketchup, or with herring, pickles, and more of that same sour cream. His friends began requesting their own toppings, and V happily obliged: he loved watching other people enjoy these pizzas he made.
Time passed; times changed. The Cold War ended, Lithuania gained its independence, and V continued dreaming of pizza. He attended culinary school just as the first pizzerias were opening in Lithuania, but he kept his eye on the United States. When the chance came to move to Cleveland in 1996, Vytauras left Lithuania learning English by reading cookbooks and Michael Ruhlman's Making of a Chef.
Even after he opened his first restaurant, he continued the quest. But when V saw Wolfgang Puck make a pizza in less than two minutes in a wood-fired brick oven, he knew he needed one of his own. The high heat was V's second great pizza revelation. The next was his first trip to Naples. V had returned to a culinary home he'd never known and it confirmed what he'd been learning all along: the old world traditions of the Neapolitan pizzaiolos led to the balance and taste he'd sought for so long.
Here in Cleveland, Vytauras continues the work. The pizza you are about to enjoy will cook quickly. But the dough began yesterday morning with the kneading of Italian milled 00 flour, salt from Italy, and Cleveland water, along with the starter that he has nurtured for years. Depending on temperature and humidity it leavened slowly as the day stretched into evening. Today, V says, is a good dough day.
Before you arrive, V kindles the oven with apple, oak, and cherry logs—hardwoods just dry enough not to pop like gunpowder and throw sparks across the oven floor. The floor itself is volcanic stone from the foothills of Vesuvius. The stone must transfer heat in just the right way for his dough to fluff—the cheese to melt, not too much, not too little…
Now V walks through the dining room, checks temperature and humidity for tomorrow's dough, checks the oven temperature to make sure the heat is just right (870°—920°F) for the alchemy that changes dough, tomato, and cheese into something wonderful. There are no knobs, nothing is automated – just constant checking to insure that a harmony of all the elements is present in order to achieve balance, greatness even.
Tonight V will wake again in the small hours, explain to his wife, "I have to make pizza," and tiptoe down to the kitchen for his first espresso of the day and to begin the work once more, forever thinking about how to improve his pizza. "If you think you have the perfect pizza recipe," his Neapolitan mentor, Franco Pepe, once said, "you're not a pizza maker."
V knows none of it will ever be perfect. That's what makes him a pizza maker. He's still astonished at the magic that can come from just a few perfect ingredients and a hot oven. And he still loves to see his friends enjoy the food he makes. That's what keeps him going. That's what brings Citizen Pie to you.

Prince George's County police arrested a suspect in what they believe was a drug-related homicide in District Heights, Md., over the weekend.
Officers responded to a report of a shooting in the 7100 block of Marbury Court about 9:35 p.m. Saturday. The victim, 32-year-old Lyndell Lorenzo Sowells, described the gunman and told police which direction he ran, police said.
Sowells died a short time later at a local hospital.
Officers broadcast the description, and a man matching was soon seen running along a fence behind homes and the area, police said. An officer stopped and arrested the suspect, identified as 22-year-old Omar Smith.
Smith confessed to shooting Sowells, police said. He is charged with first-degree murder.
The suspect and victim lived about a block away from each other in the area of the shooting, police said.

When you were young and stupid, did you stiff any bill collectors? You might want to start sleeping with the lights on. Those ghosts of unpaid bills past -- the last phone bill from your first apartment, the J.C. Penney charge card that slipped your mind -- are coming back to haunt you.
Lately lenders have been clearing the cobwebs off charged-off accounts and selling old, unpaid debts to collection companies. These so-called "zombie debts" are the subject of the latest press releases making the finance writer rounds. (Cue the Fleshtones' "I was a teenage zombie.") It seems that deadbeat bill payers are increasingly getting calls from collection companies that want them to cough up the cash from bills they flaked on paying, some even more than a decade old. Last year more than $75 billion in old debts were sold to collections outfits for pennies on the dollar.
The problem with these ghosts of bills past is that many of them should still be flatlining. Lenders can keep after you to pay them back for as long as they want. But once they sell the debt to another company, that company must adhere to a statute of limitations and cease hounding consumers after a certain period of time. The amount of time depends on federal and state laws, but eventually, these debts, if sold to a collection entity, do die.
What should you do if you start getting calls from the debt demon dimension? Don't say anything. Get whatever information you can from the caller (the amount of the original debt, the original lender), and check it against your credit file. (Here's how long the reporting bureaus keep track of your bad deeds.) Don't admit anything: The smallest slipup on the phone can revive that debt and refresh your marred credit record. And don't fall for any frightful tactics collectors use, such as illegally "re-aging" debts, promising to wipe away a red checkmark on a credit report, or bait-and-switch credit card offers.
The lecture isn't over just yet. Don't think of these zombie debt laws as an excuse to run up debt and lay low for a few years. Delinquent payments have a profound affect on your credit score. According to a just-released Experian study, the average credit score for consumers with one delinquent payment is 598 (on a scale of 300 to 850). The average Experian score for consumers without any late payments is 759. (The results are based on a sampling of 3 million credit reports.) More than half of U.S. consumer credit files have at least one delinquency -- 34% within the past year.
Once a delinquency (or "past-due" status) is more than 180 days old, a lender will usually mark the account as "charged off" and send it to collections. According to Cardweb.com, about 6% of credit card debt is charged off each year. A collection action can turn up on your credit report, marring your ability to get a loan for a mortgage, car, or credit card, and possibly permission to check out the DVD of "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" from your local library for the next seven years.
Don't let late payments turn into a living nightmare: Pay your bills on time, and rectify your youthful blunders right away.

Animation was always something I was interested in as a child, from developing an interest in the different forms of animation I watched, to the first flip book animation I drew. Yet as I have gotten older and wiser and technology has advanced animation has become a slight thorn in my side as it has never been something that has come easy to me. No matter how much I wish it would, as I hate to admit that it appears I have a difficult time getting my head around it. However this project has certainly helped me realise that maybe I just haven't been trying hard enough over the years, I have not been practicing enough, lack of time and knowledge has certainly prohibited that practicing in the past, but it shouldn't do now.
This is the first thing that I would do if given this project again, as it is with practice that I have realised the mistakes and without it I have fallen into pitfalls that would have otherwise been avoided. Despite this I am proud of what I have made and I think that it does convey a sense of character and movement. Something I was not expecting as 3D has never been my strong point either. Yet after getting to grips with the software and learning how to create things in a more exact manner helped to refine ideas and make things easier on myself. As I do like to pride myself in neat work at the very least, which I have managed to do here in creating the character and working out timings, it does not always lend itself to a more free-form style I'll admit. Yet making sure that things are the same size, that radius' are noted and frame numbers calculated has made it easier to tweak and replicate work where needed. A form of methodical work that is I think is needed in animation, otherwise it goes awry.

Splitting water is easiest thing in the earth. All you need is a source of direct current a.k.a battery eliminator, some long wire, a plastic dish (deep) to keep water and couple of test tubes to collect what comes out of the split.
Tie the test tubes as shown with a cloth clip using a rubber band. Fill the tubes with water, add some salt to reduce the resistance. Shove open end of the cable inside test tube.
It may be a good idea to attach a gas carbon rod taken out from battery. This will protect the wire from erosion.
Once you do this, as I have done – you will notice bubbles coming out from end of the wire. These are Hydrogen and Oxygen.
What we did – is known as electrolysis a big word that means splitting by electricity.
Try electrolysis with concentrated salt water, let me know what did you notice.

There is a significant similarity in registering both utility model patents and industrial design patents in the Philippines. Most of the steps involved are the same except for slight differences in the manner of drafting some documentary requirements.
The procedure for the registration of both utility model patents and industrial design patents in the Philippines is as follows:
Step 1. Preparation of the documentary requirements. Title, Abstract, Specification and its corresponding drawings and the application form must be prepared prior to registration. There are strict formal requirements in drafting these documents most especially the Specification and the drawings. Failure to comply with said requirements usually lead to either denial or amendment of the application. Denial or amendment in turn delays the registration process and also leaves the invention unprotected from copycats.
Step 2. Filing of the application form and other documentary requirements. This process is done at the Intellectual Property Office (IPO). The applicant is required to pay the filing fees at the cashier.
Step 3. Approval of the Examiner. After the filing of the application, such will be raffled to an examiner who will then be tasked to do the following: 1) search for prior art or simply stated existing inventions that are the same or similar in terms of the inventive step; and 2) assess and examine all the documents submitted. Once he approves the application, he will then forward his recommendation to the Office of the Director. If he denies it, he will send an examination report to the applicant informing him of either the amendments that need to be made or the reasons for the denial. Upon receipt of an examination report, an applicant is given two (2) months to respond to it. Failure to respond to the report results in abandonment of the application.
Step 4. Approval of the Director. The Director will assess the recommendation of the examiner and decide on its approval or denial.
Step 5. Publication. Upon approval of the Director, the utility model/industrial design application will then be published for two (2) months at the IPO Gazette. Within this period, all claims/adverse information against the application must be filed. Oppositions of third parties must be filed before the expiration of the two-month publication period; otherwise, it will be barred.
Step 6. Release of the Certificate of Registration. Upon expiration of the publication period without any claim/adverse information filed, the certificate will then be released. At this juncture, the application is deemed registered from the date of filing, meaning the invention is protected from the beginning. Those who imitate the product or process from the date of filing the application may already be held liable for patent infringement.
Registration of utility models and industrial designs in the Philippines seem easy upon looking at the foregoing step-by-step procedure. Nonetheless, like any other registration process, unexpected twists may arise. Therefore, it is more prudent for an applicant to seek legal representation in these highly technical matters. For those who decide to heed this advice, please do not hesitate to call (+632) 310-1020/ (+632) 823-1090.

The Obama Economy: Myth vs Reality
"Economically, Could Obama be America's Best President?" asks the headline.
Now where might you read such stuff?
The Nation?
In These Times?
The American Prospect?
Or might you be hearing it from the progressive cable-babblers at MSNBC?
Guess again.
It comes from that self-acclaimed "capitalist tool," the very conservative Forbes Magazine, by its very conservative columnist Adam Hartung, a business consultant.
Hartung, acknowledging our record-high markets, revival of the auto industry, lowered unemployment rate and significant reduction in the deficit, interviews Bob Deitrick, co-author of "Bulls, Bears and the Ballot Box" in the May 16 issue of Forbes to get a take on where Obama ranks against his recent peers when it comes to managing the economy.
"By all measures, President Obama has outperformed every modern president," comes Deitrik's reply.
What's the evidence?
First off, while it's clear that the stock market is not "the economy," in addition to wealthy investors, millions of Americans have their IRAs or other retirement programs in the market—which sank some 58 percent from mid 2008 into 2009—Obama's first year in office. That drop was exceeded only by the Great Depression.
From those lows, Hartung notes, "even the safest indices have yielded a 250 percent (nearly 25 percent annual compound) return." That's better than under Clinton, Reagan or Franklin D. Roosevelt, who held the previous record.
This is a major recovery, but obviously it's been largely a jobless recovery. That's the main problem. One might well speculate that if the GOP had permitted Obama's infrastructure proposals to pass, the jobless rate would have fallen more substantially and the economy look even better.
Furthermore, the administration has done an excellent job in reducing the deficit—that horrible monster he is perpetually accused of increasing exponentially.
Want facts?
We had a surplus in 2000. After a couple of rounds of Bush tax cuts and 8 years of war financed by borrowing, the deficit increased to 10 percent of the Gross Domestic Product.
Today, early in Obama's second term, the deficit has shrunk to 4 percent of GDP, projected to 2 percent by 2015. That's a $200 billion decrease, due to a growing economy, increased taxes on the wealthiest and—yes—savings due to Obamacare.
Insufficient as it may have been, the stimulus worked. Weak as it they are, the administration's restraints on Wall Street helped. "Austerity" didn't.
The problem is, Obama's opponents either don't or won't acknowledge the real facts. We still hear yips and hollers from Tea Party types and their brethren on Fox News still talk as if it was still 2009.
History shows us that since the Great Depression the economy has fared better under those tax-and-spend liberal Democrats than under Republicans. It was best under Kennedy/Johnson, followed by Clinton, then FDR. Next come Eisenhower and Reagan, then Truman and Carter, with the elder Bush, Nixon, G.W. Bush and Hoover trailing.
Today Obama is managing the economy about as well as Reagan—with potential to rise close to the top.
Don't take this lefty's word—read Forbes or the Wall Street Journal.

Just back from the Writer's Strike picket line (Jesse Jackson shook my hand and said, "God Bless." I said, "Fight the Power!") when I heard Brad Lidge (and Eric Bruntlett) got traded to the Phillies for Michael Bourn, Geoff Geary and Michael Costanzo. Pujols made Lidge his bitch two seasons ago and Lidge has had to fight every step of the way back. Is he fully back yet? His wildness says probably not entirely, but this is still a coo for the Phillies. Think about it this way, if someone in your NL-only league traded Lidge for Bourn, protests flags would have flown. The Astros received three spare parts for an at-times absolutely dominating closer. Not dominating, you say? He held hitters to a .218 average and averaged 11.8 strikeouts per nine innings. Um, that's dominating. Lidge needed to get out of Houston in a bad way; Myers needed to get back in the rotation before his career was completely derailed. Phillies–Win-win, Astros-lose.
Can the Astros get by on Chad Qualls?
6-5/78/3.05/1.32, 5 saves in 82.2 innings
Averaging almost a strikeout an inning, he'll be just fine. His cheap and pretty solid. I predict teams will move and more to the cheap, solid setup man instead of the high-priced closer. Though, if you have to pay for one, Lidge isn't a bad one at all. Not content with simply catching the Mets this year, the Phils will be a force in the NL East. I'll tell you what, I'd rather have Lidge than the Billy Wagner we saw at the end of the year.

If you suffer major complications that require your doctor to assist your delivery, there are three methods of assistance that you should be aware of. These are: cesarean section, forceps delivery, and vacuum delivery.
A cesarean section is a major operation, which carries the risk of:
• Infection,
• Scarring,
• Bleeding problems,
• Blood clots,
• Nerve damage,
• An allergic reaction to anesthesia,
• A possible hysterectomy,
• Or loss of life of the patient.
All of the risks and complications for a cesarean delivery are not discussed in detail during this presentation. If you have concerns, please discuss them with your doctor.
Now, let's discuss some of the possible complications from forceps and vacuum assistance. In rare cases, they can cause loss of bladder and/or bowel control. You may have significant bleeding from cuts in the cervix or vagina, and they may get infected. It is not uncommon for the baby to have bruises on the face and head, but these usually disappear after a few days.
All of these changes to a normal delivery increase the risk of damage to the baby, including:
• Bone fractures,
• Brain damage,
• And even loss of life.
HOWEVER, these things happen rarely.
When they are necessary, cesarean, forceps, and vacuum deliveries are generally successful in DECREASING the chance of harm to both mother and child.

The Affluence Network Buyer Persona
Thank you for visiting us in search of "The Affluence Network Buyer Persona" online.
Just a fraction of bitcoins issued so far can be found on the exchange markets. Bitcoin markets are competitive, which means the price a bitcoin will rise or fall depending on supply and demand. Lots of people hoard them for long term savings and investment. This restricts the amount of bitcoins that are really circulating in the exchanges. Moreover, new bitcoins will continue to be issued for decades to come. Thus, even the most diligent buyer couldn't purchase all existing bitcoins. This situation is just not to imply that markets will not be exposed to price exploitation, yet there exists no need for substantial amounts of money to transfer market prices up or down. The smallest events on the planet economy can affect the price of Bitcoin, This can make Bitcoin and any other cryptocurrency explosive.
Anyone can become a Bitcoin miner running software with specialized hardware. Mining software listen for broadcast trades on the peer-to-peer network and perform the appropriate tasks to process and support these trades. Bitcoin miners do this because they are able to make transaction fees paid by users for quicker transaction processing, and new bitcoins in existence are under denominated formulas.
Cryptocurrency is freeing people to transact money and do business on their terms. Each user can send and receive payments in a similar way, but they also take part in more complex smart contracts. Multiple signatures enable a transaction to be supported by the network, but where a certain number of a defined group of folks consent to sign the deal, blockchain technology makes this possible. This allows progressive dispute arbitration services to be developed in the future. These services could enable a third party to approve or reject a transaction in the event of disagreement between the other parties without checking their money. Unlike cash and other payment procedures, the blockchain constantly leaves public proof a transaction happened. This can be possibly used in an appeal against companies with deceptive practices.
The Affluence Network Buyer Persona
Ethereum is an incredible cryptocurrency platform, however, if growth is too fast, there may be some problems. If the platform is adopted quickly, Ethereum requests could improve drastically, and at a rate that exceeds the rate with which the miners can create new coins. Under a situation like this, the entire stage of Ethereum could become destabilized due to the increasing costs of running distributed applications. In turn, this could dampen interest Ethereum stage and ether. Instability of demand for ether can lead to a negative change in the economical parameters of an Ethereum based business that could result in business being unable to continue to run or to stop operation.
For most users of cryptocurrencies it is not necessary to understand how the process functions in and of itself, but it's simply vital that you understand that there's a process of mining to create virtual money. Unlike currencies as we understand them today where Authorities and banks can only choose to print endless quantities (I 'm not saying they're doing thus, only one point), cryptocurrencies to be operated by users using a mining program, which solves the sophisticated algorithms to release blocks of currencies that can enter into circulation.
You have probably heard this often times where you generally distribute the nice word about crypto. "It is not erratic? What happens when the cost failures? " sofar, several POS devices delivers free transformation of fiat, alleviating some concern, but before the volatility cryptocurrencies is resolved, most of the people will undoubtedly be resistant to hold any. We have to find a method to fight the volatility that is inherent in cryptocurrencies.
The physical Internet backbone that carries data between the different nodes of the network has become the work of several companies called Internet service providers (ISPs), including companies offering long-distance pipelines, occasionally at the international level, regional local pipe, which finally joins in homes and businesses. The physical connection to the Internet can only occur through one of these ISPs, players like degree 3, Cogent, and IBM AT&T. Each ISP runs its own network. Internet service providers Exchange IXPs, owned or private firms, and occasionally by Governments, make for each of these networks to be interconnected or to move messages across the network. Many ISPs have arrangements with suppliers of physical Internet backbone providers to offer Internet service over their networks for "last mile"-consumers and companies who need to get Internet connectivity. Internet protocols, followed by everyone in the network makes it possible for the information to stream without interruption, in the appropriate place at the right time.
While none of these organizations "possesses" the Internet collectively these firms determine how it works, and recognized rules and standards that everyone remains. Contracts and legal framework that underlies all that's happening to ascertain how things work and what happens if something goes wrong. To get a domain name, for instance, one needs consent from a Registrar, which includes a contract with ICANN. To connect to the Internet, your ISP must be physical contracts with providers of Internet backbone services, and suppliers have contracts with IXPs from the Internet backbone to connect to and with her. Concern over security issues? A working group is formed to focus on the issue and the solution developed and deployed is in the interest of all parties. If the Internet is down, you've got someone to call to get it fixed. If the problem is from your ISP, they in turn have contracts set up and service level agreements, which regulate the manner in which these issues are worked out.
The advantage of cryptocurrency is that it uses blockchain technology. The network of nodes the make up the blockchain isn't governed by any focused company. No one can tell the miners to upgrade, speed up, slow down, stop or do anything. And that's something that as a devoted supporter badge of honor, and is identical to the way the Internet works. But as you understand now, public Internet governance, normalities and rules that regulate how it works current inherent difficulties to the user. Blockchain technology has none of that.
Many individuals prefer to use a currency deflation, notably those who want to save. Despite the criticism and skepticism, a cryptocurrency coin may be better suited for some uses than others. Fiscal seclusion, for example, is amazing for political activists, but more debatable as it pertains to political campaign financing. We need a stable cryptocurrency for use in trade; if you're living pay check to pay check, it'd take place within your wealth, with the remainder reserved for other currencies.

In case of the fully-functioning cryptocurrency, it could even be traded like a product. Supporters of cryptocurrencies say that kind of online cash is not controlled by way of a key banking system and it is not therefore subject to the whims of its inflation. Since there are a restricted variety of items, this cash's price is founded on market forces, letting homeowners to industry over cryptocurrency deals.
The sweetness of the cryptocurrencies is the fact that scam was proved an impossibility: because of the nature of the process in which it is transacted. All transactions on the crypto-currency blockchain are irreversible. When youare paid, you get paid. This is simply not something short-term where your web visitors could challenge or require a refunds, or use unethical sleight of palm. In practice, most investors will be wise to utilize a transaction processor, because of the irreversible nature of crypto-currency deals, you must make certain that protection is tough. With any type of crypto-currency whether it be a bitcoin, ether, litecoin, or any of the numerous different altcoins, thieves and hackers could potentially gain access to your personal tips and therefore steal your money. Unfortunately, you probably will never get it back. It's quite crucial for you really to embrace some excellent secure and safe practices when coping with any cryptocurrency. Doing so may protect you from all of these damaging events.
Mining cryptocurrencies is how new coins are put into circulation. Because there is no government control and crypto coins are digital, they cannot be printed or minted to produce more. The mining process is what produces more of the coin. It may be useful to think about the mining as joining a lottery group, the pros and cons are precisely the same. Mining crypto coins means you'll get to keep the full rewards of your efforts, but this reduces your likelihood of being successful. Instead, joining a pool means that, overall, members are going to have much greater chance of solving a block, but the reward will be split between all members of the pool, based on the number of "shares" won.
If you are thinking about going it alone, it's worth noting the applications settings for solo mining can be more complicated than with a pool, and beginners would be likely better take the latter path. This alternative also creates a stable stream of earnings, even if each payment is small compared to completely block the wages.
Cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, LiteCoin, Ether, YOCoin, and many others have now been designed as a non-fiat currency. To put it differently, its backers claim that there's "real" value, even through there isn't any physical representation of that value. The value rises due to computing power, that is, is the only way to create new coins distributed by allocating CPU electricity via computer programs called miners. Miners create a block after a period of time which is worth an ever diminishing amount of currency or some sort of reward to be able to ensure the shortfall. Each coin consists of many smaller components. For Bitcoin, each component is called a satoshi. Operations that take place during mining are just to authenticate other trades, such that both creates and authenticates itself, a simple and elegant alternative, which will be among the appealing aspects of the coin. Anyone who has mined the coin holds the address, and transfers it into a value is supplied by another address, which is a "wallet" file saved on a computer. The blockchain is where the public record of all trades dwells.
The fact that there's little evidence of any increase in the use of virtual money as a currency may be the reason why there are minimal efforts to regulate it. The reason for this could be simply that the market is too little for cryptocurrencies to justify any regulatory attempt. Additionally it is possible the regulators just don't understand the technology and its implications, expecting any developments to act.

You may run a search on the web. First learn, then models, indicators and most importantly practice looking at old charts and pick out trends.

Oh certainly, and don't fool yourself into thinking that you acquire the uptrend will never decrease! Always will go down! You will discover that incremental increases are more reliable and profitable (most times)
It's definitely possible, but it must have the ability to understand opportunities regardless of marketplace behaviour. The market moves in relation to cost BTC … So even if it's in a BTC tendency down can make money by buying the altcoins which are altcoin oversold trading ratios-BTC. Sure, your purchasing power in DOLLARS may be lower, but as long as your purchasing power in BTC is still growing you will be okay.

The Broken Cedar Chest I'll Never Give Away
I have a small, rectangular cedar chest that I keep in my study at the house. It holds essential things like my passport and social security card.
The funny thing is the lid is broken length-wise in two pieces and doesn't lay flat. That's precisely why I have kept it for the last 37 years.
Here's the story of this little broken box and why I will never, ever let it go. It reminds me of who I am and where I've come from.
When I was in eighth grade, I think there were times when I had no brain. One of those times I stole some money from the church.
My father was the pastor of the church we attended in a suburb of Birmingham. Once a month, I sang in the youth choir at the early service.
Since the rest of my family couldn't get going that early and attended the later service, on those Sundays my dad allowed me to hang around in his study after I'd put in my time. I would nap on his couch, fiddle at his desk, and walk down the hall to the Sunday School classes and explore.
I learned to drink coffee from the half-sugar concoctions I created when the classroom coffee pots had just been turned off. I practiced the art of cartooning, drawing my favorite figures on the chalkboards.
On one particular Sunday, I happened to check the door of the main office, and the office was unlocked. It never had been before. I just couldn't resist.
As I entered, there in the chair was a bank bag of money. It was offerings from the early service and from Sunday School classes. Wow.
I must pause and tell you that this was one of those moments when the testosterone in my eight grade body outweighed the wisdom of my eighth grade brain.
I thought to myself, "they won't miss one envelope." I took one off the top, stuffed it in my pocket, and got away fast.
When I got home, I pulled it out and saw that the envelope had seventy dollars in it. That was a lot of money in eighth grade.
Well, they did miss that one envelope. The next day, my dad came home for supper and told us at the table that someone had come into the office and taken an envelope with a Sunday School class offering in it.
I'll never forget the next few moments. My mother looked at me. I stared at the ceiling as if I didn't hear what was said or had not noticed her piercing eyes. She kept on looking at me.
Whew. Later that night, just when I thought I was off the hook, my mom came to my room.
"What do you keep in that little cedar chest?" she said. "Oh, my baseball cards and stuff like that." She smiled. "Okay. Open it."
That's when bad went to worse, because my nose started growing. "Um, I can't ... I've lost the key."
She smiled again. "Okay, then go to the kitchen and get a butter knife, and bring it back ... and we'll break it open." She said it with finality. There was no going back and no wiggling out.
So that's how my little cedar chest lid got cracked in two. Needless to say there were seventy dollars in it. Busted!
My dad told the church office that the money had been turned in, and I had to apologize to some man which was pretty uncomfortable.
But I learned something through the grace of God and the loving accountability of a good family. I learned that there is a part of me that can do bad things, and for no good reason.
That was the last time I stole from the church (that's a good thing since I'm a pastor, by the grace of God!).
I asked my mom years later if it was just written all over my face or if I looked just a little suspicious when the subject came up at the dinner table. "No, you looked completely innocent." "Then how did you know?" I asked. "I don't know how to explain it. I just knew."
Mothers amaze me. I don't know how they know these things, but it comes from a magical power, a special sense mothers have been given.
I still see my cracked open cedar chest all the time. I pause to look at it from time to time and remember my shadow side.
I'm not tempted to steal anymore, that's not what I mean. But if I am honest with myself, there's still a part of me that wants MORE.
Yes, I've grown now but if I'm not careful my shadow side can still rear itself. I'm not really talking about material things.
There's a part of me that desperately desires more experiences, more successes, more accomplishments, and (this is the big one) more people pleasing. My shadow side is compounded by our cultural strivings for the "more" and the "better," two things we venerate daily. It's a recipe for darkness. But I choose to live in the light.
So I keep my cedar chest to remind me where I'd be without God, without grace, and without the love of people who hold me accountable. I will always keep a few things in my broken cedar chest because I need to be aware of my shadow side.
I've never thought about this before now, but it's funny that the "valuables" I keep in my cedar chest now are mostly my papers for identification. Maybe that's not an accident.
Our shadow side is part of who we are. It's not that I don't feel forgiven, for I know that I am. But my cracked up cedar chest is a kind of holy relic for me. It's a precious object that carries a revealing memory. It's a picture of what it means to be me, broken as I can be, yet still something priceless because I'm living in grace.

Lost's Kiele Sanchez Joins Milla Jovovich in A Perfect Getaway
Actress Kiele Sanchez is on a bit of a horror roll, and she's enjoying the fear-filled ride. Sanchez, who was on 14 episodes of Lost last season, just finished work on Insanitarium, in which a doctor turns his patients into flesh-munching, psychotic killers. And, as of this morning according to The Hollywood Reporter, Sanchez will costar along with Milla Jovovich in A Perfect Getaway, "which revolves around a newlywed couple on their
honeymoon in Hawaii who run into two hikers who turn out to be
vicious killers."
Psychotics and more psychotics. This recent move to horror is quite a change from the camp and humor in Sanchez' roles in Football Wives and Married to the Kellys. But at least the talented actress gets to work in Hawaii again. Mahalo.

I know I post a lot about anxiety. When you look up guides on how to start a blog…they always tell you to pick a topic you know best. For me…thats anxiety…I've been dealing with this demon for years. Pretty much since I was 5 but wasn't diagnosed til i was 15/16. And I hope that my blog somehow helps someone else cope as well.
What is something I want from people when they hear that I have am anxiety disorder and occasional depression? To not judge.
Too often those with mental illness are judged as being incompetent or dangerous. Someone who cannot be trusted. And its so far from the truth. We are just like anyone else. We just have a pain that you might not see or you'll never feel.
For one…I never think it is okay to judge someone. Ever. Its not fair to that person. Another thing is how can you judge someone for something you have never experienced for yourself. You can't and you shouldn't.
If you know someone who is fighting a mental illness….show compassion. Show them love. Show them support. Because at the end of the day when you're thinking hey I've had a good day…we're exhausted from fighting an invisible battle that we're just going to have to fight again tomorrow.
So please…..don't judge….show love.

Support » Fixing WordPress » Send users to a "thank you" page – contact form 7
Send users to a "thank you" page – contact form 7
I am using contact form 7 plugin and I want to send users who fill out the form to a thank you page.
How can I do that?
@mindblender 3D
I apologize for my short response above. About 12-18 months ago there was a lot of back and fourth on this topic on his plugin page and these forums. At the time I posted that post above… I was amazed that @takayukister was still taking the same stance.
It's frustrating that @takayukister provides a work around to achieve forwarding to another page and then 3-6 months later changes that work around. This breaks the various types of forms that I use on 40-50 websites for my customers. It then takes a large amount of my time to go fix each of these forms.
I would gladly donate to have this included in the plugin, as I have donated before… I enjoy using your plugin because I can easily use css to change it's appearance and it's an easy interface for my clients. While every client has a contact form on their page… almost every client uses your plugin for something other than a contact form as well.
An example… A few sites I have created need their customers to fill out multiple forms to send to different departments in their company. I link each form to the next form.
A simple box that you can click for forwarding and enter a link would be greatly beneficial.
Put this line in the "Additional Settings" field, at the bottom of each form: on_sent_ok: "location.replace('http://www.MyDomain.com/thank-you/');" And make sure your <?php wp_footer(); ?> tag is installed in your theme's footer file.
That is no longer working in the newest version…Takayuki Miyoshi
I have written a post.
Redirecting to Another URL After Submissions
I don't recommend using it.
That would be nice… but with the upgrades that no longer works.
For your information.
In additional settings…
on_sent_ok: "location = 'http://example.com/new-page';"
This in the footer.php file
<?php wp_footer(); ?>
Does not work with WordPress 3.0-beta1 and version 2.2 of your plugin.
For you information @takayukister On the 50 or so sites that I have your plugin… only a handful are using it only for a contact forms. Most use it for something much larger.Takayuki Miyoshi
djones101, you should read them carefully and show your site's URL. Contact Form 7 2.2 is compatible up to 2.9.2, and it is a contact form plugin.khyams
on_sent_ok: "location = 'http://example.com/new-page';"
<?php wp_footer(); ?>
Works in 2.9.2, fyi. If you all already knew that then disregard my post.David Jones
Ok I understand the theory and practice of the goals and Analytical tracking.
I have used your form about a dozen times and thing it is awesome.
But in terms of marketing special products or discounts on products. If you created a thank you page that then showcased some specials on your e-commerce store.
Or is their another reason why Thankyou pages aren't hip anymore.
The same argument could be made for completing an online transaction.
My post is not to "question" your code or design practices (In my mind takayukister you are a freaking amazing coder)
but more wonder why thank you pages aren't useful.WP Voyager
I apologize for my short response above. About 12-18 months ago there was a lot of back and fourth on this topic on his plugin page and these forums. At the time I posted that post above… I was amazed that @takayukister was still taking the same stance.
That's quite alright, I understand about things of that nature. Really, I'm just trying to do my part to keep the WP Forums a fair, balanced, useful, thoughtful, helpful place. I appreciate your ongoing effort to seek to improve this plugin, and I hope a permanent solution can be reached.
MindBlender 3Dpatricklondon
Having read all the above and followed all the advice….I still can't get it to redirect to another page.
wp 2.9.2
Contact Form 2.2zimmaron
What I don't get is why not just add this functionality. It is obviously needed… I know I do… even as a contact form. Please!?!? Why not make a good plug-in even better? Do I really need to search for other alternatives? It is just a simple redirect.patricklondon
I couldn't agree more.scobb99
We're with zimaron. Please add this functionality! We will up our donation for sure.
We have spent many hours trying to get past this problem on our corporate site and are about to switch to a WordPress form plug-in other than Contact 7.
IMHO, the lack of a Thank You is just too large a gap in functionality for 90 percent of form users who want to track submission easily, especially those who want to use something OTHER than Google Analytics.
Sigh. I find it hard to believe that the obviously talented and very gifted developer of Contact 7 is deliberately trying to unilaterally change the way the world uses contact forms. Maybe that is not his intent.
Having spent more than 20 years working with user interfaces I have to say I don;t think the way that Contact 7 normally handles the input response is an improvement over a Thank You page, regardless of the tracking issue. On our B2B site we get people submitting the form multiple times BECAUSE they expected a Thank You page response and did not get one.
Like Patricklondon, wWe have tried the workaround but without any success so far. We are days away from dropping this plug-in.
Sigh!David Jones
Scobb99, zimaron, patricklondon
The functionality your are looking for already works.
Under -> Additional Settings of your contact form
Insert this code.
on_sent_ok: "location = 'http://examplepage.com/?page_id=33';"
You can insert any page id you want of course.
I set this up and had it working in about 5 mins on both forms I have running on my wordpress2.9.2 site.scobb99
Sorry Kelton, maybe I didn't make this clear in my post: we've been trying to get this to work, exactly as you and others here have described, but as of now it is not working. We have the right code string in the footer file and in the C7 Additional Settings field but the form does not take the user anywhere.
From reading this page for the third time, it seems we are not the only ones having this problem. Further, and I think this is the point about "Thank You page as a feature" — If the developer doesn't think it is a good idea in the first place, then it is unlikely to get supported, beyond a "workaround" that does not seem to work for some people.
It is clear that takayukister is an awesome programmer and in many ways it is amazing to me that code as cool as Contact 7 is available at no charge, but it is hard to think of a commercial site that doesn't want and need a Thank You page to track metrics (e.g. we are installing a very powerful PPC optimization tool called ClickEquations that works great when there is a Thank You page. No Thank You page means a complex workaround and inflexibility at best.
Regardless, I thank you for responding and letting everyone know what is working for you. It means we may yet be able to figure out how to get it working for us and avoid replacing takayukister's plugin which, in all other respects is the best WordPress form plugin we have found.
