DURANGO - The Lady Panthers basketball team is making positive strides.
However, the road was too much once again.
Durango led from start to finish, as Montezuma-Cortez High School fell Thursday night, 45-28.
"I'm really happy with how far we've come with the few number of upperclassmen we have," Lady Panthers coach Justine Bayles said. "My freshmen and sophomores seem to step up to the plate. We're getting there."
M-CHS (0-13, 0-5 5A/4A Southwestern League) has had a long season away from home.
That's about to change.
The Lady Panthers will play their remaining five games at Ron Wright Memorial Gym. Much needed rest may be the key for M-CHS to finally break into the win column.
"We've been traveling a lot," Lady Panthers upstart freshman Simone Lopez said. "We've been working hard. When we play them (Durango) at our home, we're going to dominate. I'm pretty sure."
Durango (9-5, 2-3 SWL) and M-CHS battled each other on the defensive end. There were a combined 79 turnovers in the game. The Lady Panthers forced 30 turnovers, but committed an alarming 49.
Bayles was pleased with her team's strong defensive effort. But M-CHS is still searching for consistent offensive production.
"The girls played tough defense tonight and that's what I've been looking for," Bayles said. "Durango had a good third quarter. I would like to see my girls drive the paint a little more than they did tonight."
Durango led 12-6 after the first quarter. Lopez tried to keep the Lady Panthers in it, scoring six points in the second frame. But the Demons still led at halftime, 20-12.
Turnovers were especially key in the third quarter. Durango capitalized on the Lady Panthers' miscues to build a 37-21 lead after three.
The Demons out-scored M-CHS 8-7 in the fourth quarter resulting in the final margin.
"I'm happy to have the home stretch," Bayles said. "Everyone on the team can kind of get their feet back under them on the court and academically. We can really finish the season strong."
Lopez and Nicole Demby led the Lady Panthers with six points apiece.
"We were doing pretty good in the first and second quarter. When we got to the third, I guess we kind of dropped it," Lopez said. "We picked it back up. We know what our mistakes are and we'll just fix them."
Katie Wiegert scored a game high 10 for Durango.
M-CHS will host Grand Junction Central and Fruita Monument next Friday and Saturday at 5:30 p.m. and noon.

The services sector plays an increasingly important role in the global economy and the growth and development of countries through the generation of opportunities for greater income, productivity, employment, investment and trade. Indeed, manufacturing activities and competitiveness increasingly depend on services, a phenomenon known as "servicification".
Services are also crucial for achieving the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals. Strengthening the domestic services sector by increasing its backward and forward linkages with the primary and the secondary sectors, as well as its linkage with trade, can be an effective component of a comprehensive development strategy. For developing countries, service trade is the new frontier for enhancing their participation in international trade and, in turn, realizing development gains. Moreover, as services trade demonstrated relative resilience in the latest financial and economic crises this creates additional incentives for countries to incorporate services trade into their national trade and growth strategies.
Given the multifaceted contribution of services to national economy and trade, it is critically important for countries to design and implement a services-driven development strategy within a coherent and comprehensive policy framework, ensuring linkages with other policy areas and overall national development objectives. However, due to the complexity of the services sector and the broad range of actors involved across ministries, departments and agencies at different levels of government as well as in the private sector, developing and implementing such a strategy remains a challenge for many countries. Hence the slow progress in positively integrating developing countries into the global services economy and increasing their participation in services trade. It is therefore imperative to increase public and private sector advocacy and awareness, to mobilize policy attention and resources to boost the sector's contribution to growth and development.
UNCTAD has implemented a comprehensive work programme on services, trade and development with a view to assisting developing countries in growing their services sectors, increasing their participation in services trade and realizing development benefits.
Our focus areas include:
Services policy reform
Multilateral rule-making in services
Development impact of trade liberalization in services
Multilateral and regional negotiations on services, including on preferential treatment to services and service suppliers from LDC members
United Nations Conference on Trade and Development

John Barclay, the father of George and my 2nd great-grandfather, was farming and raising his second family in Eagle Creek Township, Scott County, Minnesota.
I last featured my 2nd great-grandfather John Barclay in my post on this blog dated September 11, 2010 "John Barclay's Land!" https://barclayspineriver.wordpress.com/2010/09/11/john-barclays-land/ In this post I discussed the land patent he received on 10 September 1861.
I return now, to the census and fortunately there are U.S. Federal and state census for Minnesota to study and I find John appearing consistently from 1857 through his death in 1895.
John Barclay had two families as I featured in the posted dated April 3, 2010 "John Barclay's Two Families." Some time around 1858-59 he remarried to a Helen. There is some confusion as to what her first name was but the tombstone and other court documents use the name of "Helen."
We find the family of John and Helen Barclay living in Eagle Creek, Scott County, Minnesota in 1865:
Line 1, John Barkley, male. Helena Barkley, female. Charles, male. William, male. Mary, female.
Source: 1865 Minnesota State Census 1 June 1865, Family of John Barkley, Eagle Creek, Scott Co., page 1, Minnesota Film #MNSC_3 or FHL #565716, or at Ancestry.com. This census was merely a list of names with little information other than what I have indicated here
On January 19, 1867 and interesting event takes place. John Barclay sells 160 acres to his wife Helen. The land parcel is NE1/4 S23, T115, R22 and that is the same as the patent he received in 1861. What follows is a transcription to the best of my ability for the handwriting was difficult to read.
"Filed for Record January 21, 1867 at 12 [pm]
U.S.Int. Res. Stamp to the amount of 50 cents
This Indenture made this nineteenth day of January in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and sixty seven between John Barclay Senr of the first part and Helen Barclay, Wife of John Barclay Senr of the second part, all of Scott County State of Minnesota.
Witnesseth, that the said party of the first part, for and in consideration of Three Hundred Dollars, in hand paid by the said party of the second part the receipt whereof is hereby acknowledged, and the said party of the second part forever releases and discharges there from, has Granted, Bargained, Sold, Remised, Released, Aliened and Confirmed, and by these presents to grant, bargain, sell, remise, release, alien and confirm, unto the said party of the second part, and to her heirs and assigns, forever, all the following described lot, piece of parcel of Land situated in the County of Scott and State of Minnesota, and known and described as follows, to wit:
The North East Quarter of Section Twenty-three Township one hundred and fifteen North of Range twenty-two West containing one hundred and Sixty acres by Government Survey. Together with all and Singular, the hereditaments and appurtenances as thereunto belonging or in anywise appertaining and the revision and reversions, remainder and remainders, rents, issues, and profits thereof: and all the estate right, title, interest, claim or demand whatsoever of the said party of the first part, either in law or equity, of, in and of the above bargained premises, with the hereditaments and appurtenances. To have and to hold the said premises above bargained and described with the appurtenances, unto the said party of the second part his heirs and assigns forever. And the said John Barclay Senr party of the first part, for himself his heirs, executors and administrators, does convent, grant, bargain, and agree, to [ ] the said party of the second part her heirs and assigns, that all the time of ensealing and filing of these presents, he is well _____ of the premises, above conveyed as of a good, sure, perfect, absolute and indefeasible estate of inheritance in law in fee simple and has good right, full power and lawful authority to grant, bargain, sell and convey the same in manner and form aforesaid, and that the same are free and clear from all forms of other grants, bargains, sales, liens, ___ assessments and encumbrances of what kind or nature so ever: and that the above bargained premises in the quiet and peaceable possession of the said party of the second part, her heirs and assigns against all and every person or persons lawfully claiming or to claim the whole or any part, thereof, of the said party of the first part shall and will warrant and forever ______ . In Testimony Whereof, the said party of the first part hereunto set his hand and seal the day and year first above written.
Signed, Sealed and Delivered in Presence of Robert Ringhorn and Andrew Kearney. Signed by John Barclay (Seal),
State of Minnesota, County of Scott
I, Dave Ringhorn Justice of Peace, in and for said County, in the State aforesaid, do hereby certify that John Barclay Sr personally known to be as the real person whose name is subscribed to the foregoing Deed, appeared before me this day in person, and acknowledged that he executed and Delivered the said Deed as his free and voluntary act for the use and purposes therein set forth. Given under my hand and seal, this Nineteenth day of January in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and sixty-seven.

The question is why would he sell his land to his wife? It has been suggested that it might have been to avoid tax issues. Maybe he was ill; however, he lives another 30 years? Maybe someone was trying to take the land from him? So we add this to the To Do list!
A couple of years later in 1870, we find John and Helen still living in Eagle Creek township and their family has expanded.
Dwelling 81, Family 81 – Barclay, John age 50, male, white, farmer, $800 real estate, $200 personal, born in Scotland, father and mother of foreign birth, eligible to vote. Barclay, [ ], age 45, female, white, keeping house, born in Sweden, father and mother of foreign birth. Barclay, Charles, age 10, male, white. Barclay, William, age 8, male, white.

**The 1870 U.S. Federal Agricultural census pages included John Barclay and it provided a very nice description of his farm:
Line 17, Barkley John 20 acres, 20 acres unimproved, 800 cash value of farm, 150 in value of farming implements and equipment, 15 in total wages paid in year including value of board, 2 milch cows, 2 working oxen, 2 other cattle, 2 sheep, 2 swine, 200 value of all live stock, 200 value in Spring Wheat, 100 bu. in Indian corn, 5 lbs wool, 30 bu. Irish potatoes, 100 lbs butter, 6 tons hay, 50 dollars value of animals slaughtered or sold for slaughter, 150 estimated value of all farm production including betterments and additions to stock.
Source: 1870 Schedule 3 – Products of Agriculture in Town of Eagle Creek, County of Scott in the State of Minnesota, pg. 4-5, 7th day of June, 1870, [P.T. Moot].
We continue following the family in the Minnesota State census for 1875 and it reads:
Line 8, Family 58, John Barkley, age 62, Male, white, born in Scotland, parents both born in Scotland. Helen Barkley, age 38, female, white, born in Norway, both parents born in Norway. Charles Barkley, age 15, male, white, born in Minnesota. William Barkley age 13, male, white, born in Minnesota. Maria Barkley, age 11, female, white, born in Minnesota. Anna Barkley, age 3, female, white, born in Minnesota.
Source: 1875 Minnesota State Census, Eagle Creek, Scott County, Minnesota, pg. 153, FHL#565728
The next time we find John Barclay is in the 1880 U.S. Federal Census, still in Eagle Creek Township.
Line 9, Family #242 Barclay, John, White, Male, age 65 married, farmer, born in Scotland, mother and father born in Scotland. Barclay, Ellen, white, female, age 48, wife, married, keeping house, born in Norway, parents born in Norway. Barclay, Charles, white, male, age 24, son, single, at home, born in Minnesota, father born in Scotland, mother in Norway. Barclay, William, white, male, age 17 , son, single staying at home, born in Minnesota. Barclay, Anna, white, female, age 10, daughter, at home, born in Minnesota.
Source: 1880 U.S. Federal Census, Eagle Creek Twp., Scott County, Minnesota, pg. 30, SD[2],, ED [?], T-9, Roll 633 MN. What happened to the daughter Mary E.? She is not listed in this census and the next and I was unable to find her living elsewhere? It could suggest she died but as we will see that may not have been the case?
Remember the deed explain above where John gave his wife Helen the land. H. Barclay appears on the 1880 platte map of Scott County, Minnesota as the owner of the land, John is not listed.
Platte map of Eagle Creek, Scott Co., Minnesota dated 1880, showing H. Barclay has 160 acres, Twp 115, North Range 22, West of the 5th Principal Meridian. Find the * over on the right of the platte map under the second E in creek. (Click on the map and it will open in another window. Don't forget to hit your back button to return to this post.) I obtained a copy of this map at the Scott County Historical Society in Shakopee.
John and Helen Barclay continue to remain in Eagle Creek Township as shown in the 1885 Minnesota State Census.
Family 98, John Barkley, age 70, male, white, born in Scotland, mother and father of foreign birth. Helen Barkley, age 53, female, white, born in Norway, both parents of foreign birth. William Barkley, age 23, male, white, born in Minnesota, both parents of foreign birth. Charley Barkley age 25, male, white, born in Minnesota, both parents of foreign birth, Annie age 15, female, white, born in Minnesota, both parents of foreign birth.
Source: 1885 Minnesota State Census, Eagle Creek Township, Scott County, Minnesota, pg. 14, FHL#565754 also at Ancestry.com.
As you can see from these census the Barclay name is spelled differently than I spell it: "Barkley." The ages of the family members change and the age for John himself varies widely over the years. Helen's first name changes from Ellen to Helen an in one case you can't read it at all. Her origins also change from Swedish to Norwegian and seem to stay with the later as time passes. The one consistent is they stay on the land for a very long time.
**Warning: I was doublechecking the 1870 U.S. Federal Census at Ancestry.com and have found some problems. Apparently the 1870 U.S. Federal is all jumbled up and missing pages for Eagle Creek. I did a browe through the Eagle Creek portion and it was a mess.
John Barclay appears in an Agricultural Census that is tacked on to the end of Eagle Creek run. It is filmed with page 3 next to page 4 and the second part of page 4 is filmed with page 5 and so on. This means you have to move to the next page to get the total picture.
This is not the first time I have had problems with Ancestry.com census being wrong.
I suggest you go to the Heritage Quest database usually online at your public library with the use of your library card. The other option is to consult the U.S. Federal Census films at your local National Archives Branch or check for a run of films for the census at your local public library, genealogical society or historical.

ghosts of gettysburg

Posted 18 June 2009 - 08:05 PM
Thanks for sharing your story here with us. Gettysburg is one of my favorite places to visit. It is my home away from home and always will be! If you like, can you share your photo here on GV? We would love to see it!! Your grandson has excellent taste on learning what the paranormal is all about. Dave
In sept of 2008 i visited gettysburg with a companion i love historical places and ghosts of course. while driving in a car in an area where there was no place to park or pull over , i couldnt believe what we picked up. there was a very deep male voice actually yelling the word "NO" it gave me the willies listening to it. neither of us heard this while we were driving. I just cant believe it s so loud. a lil later we were standing on little round top, it was very windy , you can hear the wind on the video camera over my voice explaining what we are looking at , just as i stopped speaking you can hear a male voice saying"help me" it was loud enough to hear well but it qalso sounded very week, like someone who very weak maybe dying? We also visited the house of jenny wade while there. I took a lot of phots inside the house. on our toor of the bedrooms there was a nightgown of the times lying across the bed. It was part of the display i took a photo of it, when i uploaded the pics to my computer i was surprised to see something on that bed with the night gown, you cant really tell what it is. it about the size of an infant or maybe a cat. its not solid but you cant see through it clearly. so now its june 2009 and i am going back to gettysburg for 2 days. my grandson is 5 and he would like to go there. we are going to take one of their ghost tours. my grandson loves anything to do with ghosts, he watches ghost hunters on sci fi and ghost adventures on the travel channel faithfully.

I've been excited to play with the new Zedboard I mentioned last week. It's a very capable board with a Xilinx Zynq 7000 device at the center of it. I said device, because the Zynq chip isn't just a CPU nor is it just an FPGA. Xilinx calls it a SoC (System on Chip), but I think that's somewhat misleading, too. Not that it doesn't fulfill that function, but it is really something more. I've also heard Xilinx call the device an "Extensible Processing Platform (EPP)" and that's probably a more accurate characterization.
The Zynq 7000 has two ARM CPUs inside. If you've used the ARM ecosystem, you won't find many surprises there. The standard ARM-style devices and external interfaces are all available. Xilinx calls this the Processing System or PS. There are more devices than there are external connections to the PS (multiplexed I/O or MIO), so you have to configure the system to include the devices you want.
What if you want more? Well, there is also an FPGA onboard called the PL (programmable logic). This is the FPGA portion. It isn't the most glamorous use of the FPGA, but you can use it to simply route PS devices to additional pins. Doing this is known as extended MIO or EMIO.
Of course, you can do other things with the FPGA and interface them to the processor. Need high resolution PWM? No problem. A fast video algorithm? Move it to the FPGA. The possibilities are mind boggling.
Many years ago I created a product that was a Microchip PIC board interfaced with a small programmable logic core. I'll have to be hones — it wasn't a very popular item. What I did notice is that people who "got it" loved it. But it was really hard to find people who did get it (especially in those days) and even harder to make people understand the value and how to manage the tools to make it all work.
I think Xilinx gets this, as the Zynq has some pretty interesting support tools that are aimed at making the process manageable by people who might be most comfortable with software. The tools are Vivado and the SDK (Software Development Kit). Of course, these are also the tools that were very painful to install under Linux. The JTAG drivers (using the Adept JTAG from Digilent) were apparently slightly different from the ones on the Digilent web site. However, the Xilinx plug in library was missing from the distribution. This caused the installer to fail, although it managed to install everything else.
Installing the "stock" Adept drivers didn't help so I wound up having to edit the driver install script to make it stop trying to install the plugin. This allowed the main drivers to install correctly. Then the plugin install from the Digilent website ran and left me with a working system. Almost. I'll tell you more about the install troubles after you hear more about the workflow.
If you want to write software for the Zynq, the first job is to design your CPU. This sounds daunting, but the tools make it pretty easy. You fire up Vivado (which looks familiar if you've used Xilinx's ISE tools before). You won't write any code in Vivado. What you will do is start a "block diagram" with a block on it representing the Zynq's dual ARM CPUs. At the top level, that's just a box:
If you edit that box, you'll see you have a lot of I/O devices that you can configure. You can add or delete items and you can route selected devices to different I/O pins. There's quite a bit of things as you can see (a big monitor helps):
Before you break out the manuals, you might notice there is a presets button near the top of the screen. It has default settings for different boards including the Zedboard I'm working with. In fact, when you start the project in Vivado, you can select a board instead of a chip and you'll get the default with no effort on your part. Realistically, that means that unless you want to remove something, you probably don't have much work to do in the block diagram for the CPU.
The real fun is when you want to add new devices to the PL. These show up as different boxes in the block diagram. At first, you will probably want to focus on loading predefined IP modules (intellectual property — think software libraries for hardware). There are plenty of them and they are already set to talk to the PS. You might add timers, general-purpose I/O, DMA, DSP blocks, a PCI bus interface, or some video processing blocks. If you are rolling your own FPGA code, there are blocks for the standard ARM AXI interface and other predefined IP that can help you and your FPGA designs can show up as blocks, as well.
Once you have the blocks in the block diagram, you connect them with the mouse. The tool helps you see which pins might connect to which other pins (you can't hook outputs to other outputs, for example). You wind up with something like this:
This diagram has an AXI timer and an AXI I/O port. There are also some external connections (some of which, like the DDR RAM interface, were put in automatically). Each block has customizable parameters. For example, you can customize the timer's bit width and number of timers:
When you are done, you will have to assign external connections for things you've added and you generate an "HDL wrapper." HDL is your language of choice to describe an FPGA design (Verilog or VHDL). This wrapper is basically a top-level description of the system.
You can export the hardware design to the SDK. The SDK is the usual Eclipse-based editor. However, when you import a hardware design, you can automatically build a board support package for the hardware design. This is a great time saver since you can change the CPU configuration on a whim. You can also target a standalone system or an operating system-based system (usually Linux). Since the board support is automatic, once you load the SDK, you are ready to just start writing pretty ordinary C or C++ code.
I've talked many times about how tools abstract us from details and while that's mostly good, it is sometimes a hindrance. There is a lot of abstraction going on here. From an ease-of-use standpoint, it is very impressive. It also means there is a lot more to go wrong and it is hard to figure that out.
My first attempts to export an example design into the SDK seemed to work. However, I couldn't get the compile of a very simple "hello world" program to work. It turns out, the JTAG drivers were not the only thing that the installer missed. There was a device tree compiler that didn't install and there was no real indication of that problem other than compiles failed. The answer (after some serious time with Google) was to load the dtc compiler from a git repo and install it:
git clone git://www.jdl.com/software/dtc.git dtc cd dtc make
After compiling, I had to go to the SDK and use the Window | Preference menu. Under Xilinx SDK, there is a Repositories item. Adding the dtc directory to the Global Repositories allowed me to successfully build.
The SDK provides a "data sheet" for the board support package it builds, including documentation and examples (which, sadly, fail to load on my installation; you can find the information — I think — here). Because of the level of abstraction, I haven't figured out how much help it gives you when you are rolling your own FPGA elements, but I intend to find out in the coming weeks.
I can't overemphasize how much work the tools are doing on our behalf. They build all the configurations for the processor and the PL, arrange to load them, and provide callable subroutines to set everything up at runtime. If it all works, it is a great time saver.
Don't get me wrong — I've been very impressed with the whole system. I just wish it wasn't so hard to get it up and running on a Linux system. But now it is running and I'm looking forward to building some real apps which I will share in future blogs.

This week Senior Apple Editor Jacqui Cheng reviewed the iPad mini, and she found many features to love. But some features, like the display, left a bit to be desired. Ars readers also got their hands on Apple's new small-form tablet, and the following discussions went into interesting new areas. What features can make the iPad mini a device that can be described as brilliant?
SmoledMan kicks off the thread "Why the iPad Mini is brilliant" with a few key points: "#1 - it destroys the 7" consumer tablet market just like that. #2 - it's the perfect device for enterprise where all you need is light content creation, status & command acknowledgement. Imagine an iPad Mini used for inventory control. It's so light and can host LOB applications."
This thread was posted in the Battlefront forum, which is a place where fiery discussions often take place. G3D responds to the original post: "Thread over, no contention, just your un-justified opinion, well done."
But OrangeCream steps in and continues to nurture the discussion by posting more reasons why the iPad mini triumphs (based on a comparison to the Google Nexus 7): "1) It's thinner and lighter than the N7, 2) It's got a more powerful GPU than the N7, 3) It's got better cameras than the N7, 4) It's got a visually better display than the N7 (brightness, contrast, gamut), 5) It's got better battery life than the N7, 6) It's got better tablet optimized apps than the N7."
In our review we noted that the step back in the iPad mini's screen technology may make consumers think twice. Arcite also weighs in on the issue: "I'll wait for the iPad mini Retina 2 (circa 6 months from now)."
Puppeteer adds analysis on the lack of a retina screen: "The thing is the non retina mini isn't targeted at iPad retina owners, it's for people who don't have iPads. For those people it's still a higher resolution display (by area) than the original iPad, and more importantly, the non tablet they currently don't own."
Other users in the thread, like the_stig_1, cut through some of the industry buzz surrounding the mini and focused in on specific needs and value for dollar: "I have found the relentless spin from Siegler and Gruber dizzying. They parroted the party line about smaller tablets for years before loudly proclaiming that they're switching to the iPad mini. For my own part I use the iPad as a laptop replacement so I don't have a burning need for a smaller-screened device. I'm also not willing to part with the high-DPI screen of the iPad for the mini. It's also too much money. $299 would have been a much better starting point while preserving a healthy 30% margin (if iSuppli's estimates of the mini's BOM is correct) That extra $30 is a huge psychological barrier, IMHO. At the low price of the Nexus 7, I've been tempted to pick one up purely out of curiosity. I can't say the same for the mini."
Many Ars readers in the Openforum choose other tablets and devices. Hinton says: "I read the reviews of both the 7" Android tablets and the iPads prior to purchasing the N7 (I also considered the iPad retina, but decided against it because of size. I wanted something that would fit in my pocket. That's because I am not using my tablet as a desktop replacement). Had the iPad mini been out when I purchased the N7, I'm informed enough to make the same correct decision, even if priced equal, of what I admit, is my subjective view of what a tablet should be used for."
dwell says, "Brought home the mini last night. Wife is getting one now. This device is just as much of a threat to Sony and Nintendo as it is to Amazon and Google. Why get a Vita or Wii U when you can have a killer gaming device plus a fuckton functionality more for just a little bit more? [...] It blows my mind why anyone would want a Sony or Nintendo device."
Hinton thinks the iPad mini may continue to add to Apple's success in the mobile gaming market: "A company like Nintendo could enter the market with a gaming pack, including their killer game"s" + a holder the tablet could sit in with proper controls, using Bluetooth to communicate with the tablet."
When it comes to the iPad mini, there are many other areas to consider: productivity apps, e-readers, utilities, battery life, wireless, and so on. If you bought an iPad, what are your thoughts on the device? If you're on the fence or definitely not purchasing one, tell us about the other options you see out there on the marketplace. Share your thoughts with us in the comments or in the OpenForum. Register for an account to participate in the discussion.

In this still life, Christoffel van den Berghe collected an impossible bouquet of blooms that open at different times of the year, demonstrating that he could surpass the abilities of nature. Each flower is given equal illumination but the most prominent are three striped tulips, which were especially prized in early seventeenth-century Holland. The artist also included shells, insects, and two cups of kraak porcelain imported from China. Flower still lifes were the specialty of painters in Middelburg, capital of the province of Zeeland, and were among the most expensive kind of paintings available in the Dutch republic, their prices rivaling and often surpassing the largest and most complicated history paintings.

A survey of retirement plan consultants conducted by Oculus Partners has identified some changes service providers need to make to their businesses in order to grow, including clarifying their value proposition for each prospect, following plan consultants' agendas and addressing prospects' needs more efficiently.
The report found when sponsors initiate a new recordkeeper search, the most common reasons are that they are unhappy with the service they are receiving or with fee arrangements.
When the consultants surveyed look for service providers for their clients, they search for two criteria, the report found: experience in the sponsor's industry and market segment, and expertise in solving the sponsor's problems. However, the report also found that providers generally struggle to present their value proposition in a way that is clear and relevant to the sponsor's situation.
Other issues that trip up service providers trying to gain new business are not understanding the prospect before meeting and generally being unprepared for meetings, failing to complete RFP responses, and an inability to "artfully" negotiate fees and sell products.
In the large plan market, integrated defined contribution and nonqualified defined contribution services are critical. At least a third of recordkeeper searches also cited defined contribution and defined benefit integration as critical.
Consultants are also looking for experienced relationship managers who work well with the sponsor and will serve as an advocate. Consequently, service providers should have the relationship manager, rather than a salesperson, conduct presentations with prospects.
The report found that even among service providers who win a sponsor's business, articulating a clear and relevant value proposition is difficult. Respondents identified four providers that have been able to overcome that particular hurdle. Fidelity was known among respondents for its overall scale, capabilities and reliability. JPMorgan was known for its participant services; New York Life for its plan compliance services; and Prudential for retirement income services.
The report noted that sponsors are "slowly warming up to" the idea of addressing participants' retirement readiness, even though consultants interpreted sponsors' primary objectives as creating a secure retirement and competitive benefit program.
The majority of respondents expressed concern that service providers don't understand how a consultant's practice works, leading to an ineffective partnership. This could be a problem for service providers as the report noted that "consultants will continue to evolve as leaders in the provider/sponsor relationship, both at the sale and as an ongoing partner in the relationship."
In larger market, sponsors have historically interacted directly with providers, while consultants typically helped their clients with RFPs and investment manager evaluations, the report found. Today, consultants are becoming more involved in their clients' plans, providing benchmarking tools and analyzing providers' capabilities and track records.

How Do Ya Know If Your A 'Sensitive'
Posted 08 July 2009 - 08:25 PM
Thanks guys.
Posted 29 July 2009 - 12:38 PM
Nice to be back. Wonder who I made "ill" with me back in 2009...at 67 am lucky to recall what I had for dinner 2 days ago. Guess some folks will have to explain it to me as I have no clue.
Posted 07 August 2009 - 12:14 AM
While I've seen a few ghosts and sense them a lot, I don't consider myself a medium, because a spiritual medium can usually tell you things about a ghost's past. Either I'm not a medium, or I'm not open enough, because I've never gotten that far. Nor do I wish to.
However, usually it's just a 'thing', you can just tell. Most of the time you've 'known' you were different from a very young age, and have had paranormal experiences, as well. If this doesn't sound like you, you're probably not all that sensitive.
I don't actually care for the whole experience, and would never wish it on another person. I just want to be normal. I used to be really into it, but now that I've come across way too many hostile ghosts, who think I'm an easy portal (I'm not), I just want it to go away.
Posted 30 August 2009 - 07:31 PM
Hope I could help you some. Good luck if you are sensitive, you'll need it.

The website for the book is located at: http://www.hsperson.com/
I highly recommend it to any people who think they might be sensitive. She discusses possible paranormal links in the last chapter.
I'm a HSP as well and one of the previous posts were right in saying that you just know when you are. The website above gives basic traits that sensitives typically share.
Posted 27 February 2010 - 10:38 PM
quick question with this. Can you make yourself sensitive to it or is it something that you're just born with it?
I would like to know the answer to this too. I think I'm somewhat sensitive but not sure if I want to develop this or if it is even possible.
Posted 17 June 2012 - 08:03 PM
Everyone's journey is different though. Follow your heart, your conscience and if you are a praying person, pray for guidance.

quick question with this. Can you make yourself sensitive to it or is it something that you're just born with it?
In my opinion I don't think you can make yourself in the way you're thinking.
To be honest I think everyone has the ability to be sensitive just some supress it and others don't or some are better at accepting the triggers than others.
The best thing you can probably do is to just try and open yourself up in a way, just be actively thinking that you're open to feeling something etc.
The first few times may just be the fact you're trying though but with more open subconcious you're more likely to be able to sense things.

Cry Havoc! And let loose the Dobermans of war!

Life is too short to take seriously, none of us get out of it alive.
Each morning when I open my eyes I say to myself: I, not events, have the power to make me happy or unhappy today. I can choose which it shall be.Yesterday is dead, tomorrow hasn't arrived yet. I have just one day, today, and I'm going to be happy in it.
Posted 08 November 2013 - 09:37 AM
I think it's rather cold and uncaring to say that a person "knows" that they are and if they aren't sure, then they are not. Many people don't know what they are feeling or from where it is coming. This can stem from conflicting religous beliefs or just plain ignorance of the subject. People unfamiliar with all of this need guidance, not a smug "oh, it you're asking, then you aren't one". It's like anything else; one isn't necessarily blessed with all-encompassing knowledge of an ability, skill, or "gift".
To me, it's kind of an a-hole attitude.
Posted 15 November 2013 - 05:46 AM
I believe we are all sensitive to certain extents. Everyone has odd experiences from time to time, even skeptics, you know just that chill up your spine, the one that you get when a stranger walks past you in a grocery store, everyone has them. I believe those are our senses telling us something is going on with that person,(not that that person is bad) maybe they are at that moment, feeling a strong emotion for some reason, we just pick up on their energies. I think its posible some of us are born and stay super sensitive, and the rest of us are just sensitive. I believe that for a lot of us (myself included) we don't acknowledge, and refuse to believe or go deeper into it, out of spiritual/religious belief, or are just to (for lack of a better word) rational, to believe in such things. So we never fully devlop it to the extent others have it.
