Polyflor Camaro Loc Black Shadow Slate is a brilliantly dark, luxurious vinyl tile. Each slate-effect tile is finished with a microbevelled edge for a more authentic feel. This is a classy and stylish floor for contemporary and traditional homes alike. The floor is installed with a locking mechanism, which makes the whole process a lot faster than the glue-down method.
Absolutely love our en-suite bathroom floor. We are ordering more for our main bathroom.
Excellent customer service with fast delivery. Delivery man was very cheerful and helped to delivery to front door. The Polyflor Camaro Loc Black Shadow Slate vinyl tiles are good quality and fairly easy to handle/fit. Compliments our kitchen very nicely. I would use Flooring Supplies again.

Introducing the Special Variant of the Evalia with a bold new premium grille, a new sporty bumper with integrated fog lamps and a stylish roof spoiler.
Evalia looks more like a typical van with its sliding doors and boxy design.
Evalia offers a lot of space – where it certainly scores over its competition.
This is partly due to the Evalia's weight which being less, automatically contributes to fuel efficiency.
The sliding rear doors and a dashboard mounted gear lever further add convenience to this already practical cabin.
At the front, the vehicle gets a new chrome front grille, a redesigned front bumper which manages to look sportier than the one found in the existing Evalia and fog lamps with chrome surrounds.
Flexible seating and versatile storage solutions let the Evalia step in to effortlessly carry passengers and stow all the gear for daily routines and carefree getaways.
MP3 audio system with front and rear speakers and some more.
Inside, the practical cabin features loads of space and flexible seating configuration. There's ample amount of space for seven adults and the cargo area is pretty big too.
The Evalia is powered by a 1.5-litre K9K diesel engine. This 4-cylinder turbocharged unit from Renault Nissan's engine family is offered in a variety of other cars.
The Evalia offers captain seats for the middle row, optional roof-mounted air conditioning system, tilt adjustable steering wheel, rear- view camera with display, intelligent key.
This new top-spec variant retains Evalia's highlighting features like the roof-mounted AC vents in both second and third row, 2-din audio system with USB connectivity, rear wiper, rear defogger and anti-glare internal rear view mirror.
Producing 85bhp of power and 200Nm of torque, the engine is paired with a 5-speed manual gearbox which helps the MPV deliver a class-leading fuel efficiency figure of 19.3kmpl.


Earlier this month, an unverified report by Chinese social network Weibo claimed that Apple will ship its 2018 iPhones with new USB-C power adapters and USB-C to Lightning cables for fast charging. Today, a new report by ChargerLab is making the same claim, noting that this year's flagship iPhones will include 18-watt USB-C power adapters out of the box (via MacRumors).
The source, which has based its report on information from "inside the production line", has also shared a render of the European version of Apple's rumored 18W USB-C charger (shown above). The earlier report by Weibo included drawings of what the North American charger may look like.
Along side the power adapter, Apple will also include a Lightning to USB-C cable with the next generation iPhones, enabling much faster charging speeds than the existing 5W power adapters that ship with current models.
Fast charging is currently supported by the iPhone 8, iPhone 8 Plus and iPhone X, and generally charges an iPhone at least twice as fast as the regular method.

The 2008 North Carolina gubernatorial election was held on November 4, 2008, coinciding with the presidential, U.S. Senate, U.S. House elections, Council of State, and statewide judicial elections. Democrat Bev Perdue won the election.[1]
Because incumbent Governor Mike Easley was term-limited, the open-seat race was contested between Democrat Beverly Perdue, Republican Pat McCrory, and Libertarian Michael Munger. Likewise, Democrat Walter H. Dalton, Republican Robert Pittenger and Libertarian Phillip Rhodes vied to replace term-limited Lt. Governor Perdue.

Dennis Nielsen, Retired USAF Colonel[6]
Bev Perdue, Lieutenant Governor of North Carolina[7]
Moore and Nielsen appeared on the edition of NC Spin broadcast April 13 on most stations, but Perdue declined the invitation to participate.[8] Perdue and Moore met for their final pre-primary debate at WRAL-TV, which was broadcast on several stations across the state on April 22.[9]
On May 6, 2008, Perdue won the Democratic nomination for governor, defeating State Treasurer Moore and Nielsen.[10]

Fred Smith, North Carolina state senator[17]
McCrory reportedly commissioned a poll to test the waters for a run for governor in November 2007, shortly after his re-election victory, but well after other Republican gubernatorial candidates began campaigning. A 2007 Rasmussen Reports poll had McCrory leading both major Democratic candidates by three points each.[citation needed]
The Raleigh News & Observer reported on January 9, 2008 that McCrory had filed the necessary paperwork with the State Board of Elections to run for governor.[18] He announced that he was running in his hometown of Jamestown on January 15, 2008.[19]
Republican candidates Graham, Orr, and Smith held their first debate on October 20, 2007 at High Point University.[20] The two Democratic candidates held their first debate at the annual conference of the N.C. School Boards Association on Nov. 6, 2007, which hosted a Republican candidates' debate the same day.[21][22]
UNC-TV invited the three announced Republican candidates and two announced Democratic candidates to participate in the campaign's first debates (officially called "forums") to air on statewide television. Each forum is intended to focus on a single topic: on Jan. 10, the state's economy; on Feb. 7, health care; and on April 24, education.[23] Video of the forums is available on the UNC-TV website.
The Republican candidates, now joined by new challenger Pat McCrory, debated on WRAL-TV on January 17. The debate was also broadcast on stations in Charlotte and Wilmington.[24]
McCrory, Orr, Graham, and Smith met in a televised debate held by WTVI in Charlotte on April 3. Media accounts said that McCrory was the primary target of attacks by his rivals.[25] The same was true at another WRAL-TV debate, held on April 15.[26]
The final Republican debate before the primary was held in Asheville, and featured the only appearance by Elbie Powers in a debate.[27]
McCrory—71-80%
Smith—71-80%
Orr—41-50%

Pat McCrory (Republican)
Michael Munger (Libertarian) [28]
Beverly Perdue (Democratic)
If he had been elected, McCrory would have been the first mayor of Charlotte to win the state's highest office.[29]
Despite a "national Democratic tide" and Perdue's fundraising edge,[30] McCrory led Perdue at first; Perdue slowly gained with help from Barack Obama as the Democratic presidential candidate.[31] Perdue and McCrory remained close, with the two often polling in a statistical tie[30] in what was the closest race for governor in the nation.[32] Perdue ran slightly behind her opponent in polls released the week before the election.[30] Pundits speculated that Perdue was hurt by current Democratic Governor Mike Easley's decreasing popularity due to the aftermath of the 2008 Financial Crisis, and McCrory's efforts to tag her as part of corruption in Raleigh—consultants mentioned Perdue's "difficulty of being the candidate of continuity in a change election."[31]
Early in 2008, Libertarian nominee Munger called Perdue a "Stepford Wife" and said the Republican nominees were "circus clowns."[33] Prior to May 2008, the North Carolina Libertarian Party and Munger gathered 100,000 signatures of voters in order to qualify to appear on North Carolina's ballot. They, along with the Green Party, sued the state unsuccessfully over the ballot access rules. Munger appeared as one of two keynote speakers at the national Libertarian convention in Denver in May 2008.[34]
When Hillary Clinton dropped out of the 2008 presidential election The New York Times mentioned Perdue as a potential pick for Obama's Vice President.[35]
Munger called himself "the only liberal in the race."[36] Munger took more socially liberal positions on many issues than Democratic candidate Perdue. "One reason I haven't been allowed in all the debates is that I'm taking votes from the Democrats. Sixty percent of my supporters are voting for Obama. I'll talk about gay marriage, and Perdue isn't, or doesn't want to."[37] While Democratic candidate Perdue took a hard line on illegal immigration similar to that of Republican Pat McCrory, Munger took a position more aligned with Barack Obama.[38]
Perdue raised $15 million and ran attack ads against McCrory, criticizing him for not being tough enough on illegal immigration.[32]
In October 2008, McCrory received the endorsement of most major newspapers in the state, which typically endorse Democrats.[39] McCrory's candidacy for governor was endorsed by the Raleigh News and Observer,[40] The Charlotte Observer,[41] the Greensboro News & Record,[42] the Winston-Salem Journal,[43] and the UNC-Chapel Hill Daily Tar Heel.[44]
Perdue received the endorsement of actor and director Andy Griffith, who filmed a campaign ad on her behalf.[45]
Perdue defeated McCrory and Munger on November 4, 2008 to win the election.
The first general election debate between Perdue and McCrory was a forum at the North Carolina Bar Association meeting in Atlantic Beach on June 21.[46] The first debate between the two that was televised live was conducted by WTVD on August 19.[47][48] Another televised debate was held by WRAL-TV on September 9.[49] Next, McCrory and Perdue met for a debate on education issues at SAS Institute on September 19. The debate was sponsored by business and education groups and was covered by News 14 Carolina.[50][51][52]
Duke University professor and Libertarian candidate Michael Munger made history as the first third-party candidate to participate in a live, televised gubernatorial debate in North Carolina.[34] He made his first debate appearance with McCrory on September 24 at UNC-TV. Perdue declined to participate in that debate.[53] All three candidates debated for the first time on October 15, in the final debate before the general election.[54] The hour-long debate, sponsored by WTVI, WSOC-TV and the League of Women Voters, aired in several television markets.[55]
Analysts said that McCrory tended to perform better than Perdue in the debates, particularly in "sit-down debates that allowed more back-and-forth between the candidates." [56]

How Does Atlanta's I-85 Bridge Collapse Affect Truckloads?
The collapse of a section of a bridge section on I-85 just north of Atlanta was shocking for two reasons: No injuries were reported, and its impact on spot market truckload freight has been and probably will be muted. Here's why: The "Downtown Connector" (I-75 and I-85) in Atlanta. 1) I-85 runs through Atlanta but isn't a major truck lane, since most trucks have to take I-285 to go around Atlanta, not through it. That accounts for about 10% of Atlanta's truck traffic. MORE

2 Signs That the Freight Recession Really Is Over
Volumes were strong after Memorial Day, particularly in Atlanta and Los Angeles. Projections for Central California produce are still strong for June, so we're keeping an eye on the Fresno market, but those shipping gaps meant that rates didn't continue their upward trend on many of the top reefer lanes. Asparagus, beans, and peas are shipping out of Western Michigan, and reefer rates on the lane from Grand Rapids to Philadelphia jumped up 47¢ to $3.17/mile. MORE

What Happens To Your Freight During A Natural Disaster?
Freight Center
Shipping your freight by air is the quickest way to get your things where they need to be, but unexpected weather phenomena can put a damper on the supply chain. Flights follow strict safety protocols making air shipping especially sensitive to meteorological changes. Air shipments were re-routed through surrounding hubs—Atlanta, Chicago, and Dallas/Fort Worth. When an emergency arises, or is imminent, ocean carriers are quick to adapt based on their ship and location. MORE

Luxottica maintains a warehouse in Atlanta and ships roughly 470k units of inventory each week - 300k to retail locations and 170k as wholesale to independent opticians and department stores.

Panama Canal Expansion Boosts Freight in an Unexpected Place
The Panama Canal opened a new lane for larger ships this week, and East Coast ports have been expanding efforts to attract Asian imports that would otherwise arrive on the West Coast.

Outbound volumes from Houston also fell 73%, but the rearrangement of supply chains, the difficulty of shipping in the flooded region, and increased seasonal demand in other parts of the country combined to create pockets of tight capacity that put extra pressure on truckload rates.

The Story Continues…. Let's Don't Sugar Coat the Real Issue
As a country, I think that we need to rethink supply chain flows for chassis, drayage and the unloading of larger ships. I don't think that the ports are up to the challenge of moving the high-levels of freight with larger ships without rethinking unloading space, equipment and flows. It takes 2 to 3 days to unload a ship. Today, the number of chassis required for a ship is between 2,000 and 5,000. The ships are getting larger. MORE

The collapse of a section of a bridge section on I-85 just north of Atlanta was shocking for two reasons: No injuries were reported, and its impact on spot market truckload freight has been and probably will be muted. Here's why: The "Downtown Connector" (I-75 and I-85) in Atlanta. 1) I-85 runs through Atlanta but isn't a major truck lane, since most trucks have to take I-285 to go around Atlanta, not through it. That accounts for about 10% of Atlanta's truck traffic.

Q: Why did I fry my lab power supply trying to charge a lifepo battery? I hope the question is not off-topic: I want to know "why" it failed more than how I should use my equipment, even though the questions are probably linked.
The power supply is a 0-3A, 0-30V lab power supply (LABPS23023). I fried it trying to charge a 20AH 3.2V LiFePo single cell battery. I had set the supply to 3.8V for the initial charging as recommended, and the current limitation pot halfway (~1.5A, way below the max recommended 1C). Since the battery was only 3.3V stock, and that the power supply had both voltage and current limitation, I thought I would be safe.
Result = heavy instant smoke in the power supply. Not even a blown fuse.
Did the battery "feed" power into the PS instead of the opposite, and the latter would be seriously unable to withstand it?
I highly suspect my understanding is both naive and incomplete. Would a simple heavy duty diode have protected the power supply, but would it be charged in this case?
The schematics of the PS is here:

A: Mea culpa, well, sort of. The flyback diode was dead (V32 on the schematics - no fuse indeed), and it was short-cutting the output, hence the smoke also above in the circuit. I replaced them and it worked again.
Now for "why": I have two of the same 20AH LiFePo battery. And one packaging is plain wrong! Yes, the plastic wrapping with the label is the other way round: inverted positive and negative terminals.
I had probably double-checked with one, and assumed that the other was alike. I am going to yell loud at the supplier (a well-known company though). It could have cause fire, with such currents. Amazing.
Conclusions:

*

*One can never check enough the polarity (batteries were alike, I tested the right one, and probably plugged the other)

*Do it one at a time, it would not have occurred

*Do not even trust the labels and packaging! :(

*KISS: when the clamp diodes are dead, a reverse polarity is the obvious thing to check first (so @Bradman was right indeed)

*My power supply works well again, warranty void (bah)

Bonus: I replaced the SMT diodes (1N5402) by even more powerful diodes (31DF, 300V,60A peak) + fixed them with silicone so they would not even unsolder themselves on a terrific case (like here I guess).

Arlington Cemetery is what remains of the Arlington National Cemetery. To the south is Mama Dolce's food processor and in the center there is the Arlington House. Now, it is an empty spot on the map, mostly devoid of life. The Flooded Metro located south of Wilhelm's Wharf opens to Arlington Cemetery.

3 Notable loot
Arlington National Cemetery was a military cemetery, established during the American Civil War on the grounds of Arlington House, formerly the estate of the family of Confederate general Robert E. Lee's wife Mary Anna Custis Lee, a great granddaughter of Martha Washington, wife of George Washington.
In an area of 624 acres (253 hectares), veterans and military casualties from each of the nation's wars were interred in the cemetery, ranging from the American Civil War through to the Anchorage Reclamation and the Yangtze Campaign.
The northern end of the Cemetery terminates in the Arlington Cemetery Metro Station (Arlington on DCTA maps), whose platform rests in a depressed, walled in area sheltered from the elements by an elegant metal and glass roofing. It connects to Foggy Bottom station (through Arlington utility) and the caved-in FDR Island station.
The cemetery begins just beyond the first memorial and is arranged in terraces, centered around monuments. The most notable other element is the Arlington House, with its mysterious shrine to Abraham Lincoln and Junders Plunkett. Beyond the southern gates of the cemetery lies Mama Dolce's, the pre-War headquarters of Chinese infiltrators in D.C. and the Falls Church station.
Inside Mama Dolce's, There is a copy of Dean's Electronics on the south western stairwell, north of the western loading bay sniper nest.
There are skill books in both sniper nests above the loading yard. There is a Chinese Army: Special Ops Training Manual in the Eastern nest and Guns and bullets in the Western nest.
If you exit Mama Dolce's Food Distribution and look north there is a truck and a container with some barrels in it. In the container there is a dead wastelander with random loot and Tales of a Junktown Jerky Vendor.
If you exit the Arlington house and head east towards the central structure (four brown-yellow muses) with four benches surrounding it, there is a tombstone that has blooming flowers in front of it, and two more to the north of that one, and a third farther east from the structure. Needless to say, this is a very rare sight in the Capital Wasteland.
In the Arlington Cemetery South metro station, just as you enter the main chamber, there is a dumpster to the right of the entrance. Inside the dumpster is a U.S. Army: 30 Handy Flamethrower Recipes skill book.
There is a Pulowski Preservation shelter near the Arlington Cemetery North Metro station. Inside is a female statue, a wine bottle, some shot glasses and sexy sleepwear.
When entering from the Metro station, there is a dead regulator with Junders Plunkett's wanted notice, as well as a regulator duster. If the player has the Lawbringer perk on.
Two jet can be found just west of the Arlington house, along with a first aid box on the nearby rocks and box containing Buffout and Jet a little up the hill to the south.

The fact that there is never going to be a shortage of writing jobs as there are so many companies that seek the service, can be reassuring as you kick start your writing career.
Although there are several ways such as searching for freelance writing jobs and working as an intern at a digital agency by which you can kick start your writing career, there are few useful tips that you can follow to make your case stronger. So if you fancy yourself as a freelancer writer, but you have no idea where to start, these tips will help you launch your writing career.
The first step is to build a reputation as a writer. Remember that editors and blog owners will be interested in knowing what you have written before. Something, that was made public. In the beginning, the idea of getting started can be scary and risky since you have no previous experience you are just equipped with passion. You're going to be behind your computer for hours putting words and thoughts out there for the rest of the world. Bloggers and editors will want to see that you have already taken the risk to become a writer.
Some choose to use a blog while others look for writing platforms to develop their own portfolio. Once you have established a good reputation, you have a high chance of finding potential clients and with time you will have a great portfolio.
Some may think that high GPA will get you everything you want. But when it comes to freelance writing no one cares if you graduated with a higher GPA if you don't have the necessary experience the client can evaluate. Instead, emphasize your experience with responsibilities from military and civilian jobs. Include this in your portfolio and make it clear and straightforward. It's a key lesson that you need to learn if you are in the military.
Ideas are important when it comes to freelancing. The rule states that you need to pitch about five to ten for every article you place. If you want to be successful as a writer you need to get in touch with potential clients and explain why you're the perfect fit for the job.
Most clients ask for some samples before hiring you. Make sure you have several articles in place to use as samples if not, this is where your blog puts you up as an eligible candidate for the job. You can leave a link and invite the client to explore your blog for further insights of your skills. If you decide to send proposals, be specific on what you want to write about and why the client should hire you. Sell your skills to the editor!
In the end, it's not about quantity but it's the originality of your ideas and how well you lay it that will sell your skills. Make sure you take your time to come up with the best ideas.
One of the easiest and proven ways to earn money while you ensure that you as a writer are on the right path is to hunt for freelance writing jobs. Reply to those ads that are relevant to your skills. If you have zero knowledge about a certain field, skip it and move on to what you are good at.
Focus on your topics of interest and stick to a field that you are good at. Also, you can search for sites on the web that help you find assignments that align with your specialties. Whether you are a technical writer or an essayist – there is work for everyone. According to a recent survey, 2 out of 3 companies rely on freelance writers to get their creative work done. So, why not tap into this pool and start earning some moolah while you're at it?
A great advantage why you should focus on your work is that you get to build a reputation as an expert on writing about certain topics. This will increase your chances of being hired rather than waiting for the client to find you.
There is no achievement without hard work and persistent. Having a good portfolio and proposals don't guarantee that you will land a writing gig immediately. No. You need to be persistent. Don't worry if you send several proposals and you don't get any response. Keep going and sooner than later, you will find your first client who will be interested in your work.
Once you complete a task and earn yourself a good rating, more offers will start trickling in and you will not have to search for them. Also, you will realize that clients are happy to work with one individual for long term projects and you will have landed a repeat client. If you send several pitches and don't get responses after sometimes, don't give up revisit your profile and make some improvement. Be persistent until you land a writing contract.
So, launching your writing career may seem like a daunting task at first, but these 4 easy tips will help you get started. Whether you are a beginner or an already established writer, these tips will help you improve your skills and build a good reputation. After all, writing is a profession like any other and you need to good at it.

Ready to sell your home? Is it a good time to sell a house? Time to stage it for tours, open houses, and other chances for prospective buyers to get a good look at the house. While open houses may or may not sell homes, it's still a good idea for your house to be prepared for potential buyers at any time. When it comes to staging a house to sell quickly, there are a few tried-and-true tactics that will work best to make your house appealing to a prospective buyer if you need to sell your house fast.
The bottom line: When staging a home to sell, make your home clean, organized, and welcoming. That means hiding any clutter, putting away those family photos, and giving your house an overall facelift before inviting buyers through the front door.
Before buyers even set foot in the house, you want to make a good first impression in order to help sell your home. Depending on the state of your home, this could be as simple as powerwashing the exterior or slapping on a new coat of paint. The key is to make it look clean and new(ish), so make sure the walkways and siding aren't covered in a layer of moss, hang the house numbers in a place that is easy to spot and read, and make sure the porch feel welcoming. Some fresh greenery, either in the form of new landscaping or a couple planters on either side of the front door, is an easy way to add a surge of energy to your home's exterior. Swapping out the exterior lights with fresh ones may be a small expense, but they'll make your home feel on-trend and move-in ready.
Tip 2: Make it impersonal.
Chances are, you've left your mark on your house. But when you're staging a home to sell quickly, you'll need to stage it so that prospective buyers can visualize themselves living there. Having family photos conspicuously hung, or kids' artwork on the refrigerator, can make buyers feel like they're intruding when touring your house. In the bathroom, especially, try to hide evidence of your personal hygiene habits – that means making sure there aren't any stray hairs clinging to that shaving razor (in fact, toss the razor completely), and that the bar of soap is a brand-new one. And don't forget to empty the trash cans!
Tip 3: Tidy, tidy, tidy.
Clutter can make your house feel smaller, dingier, and overall less inviting, while also distracting buyers from the space. Like the tip above mentions, the goal is to make your house into a space that a buyer wants to inhabit, and when that space is filled with toys or random items, they can have trouble envisioning themselves in the space. Plus, clutter is a big red flag that your home doesn't have enough storage, which is a turn-off for most people. When you are staging a house to sell, rent a storage unit, invest in some chic bins – whatever you need to do, just make sure that you embrace the minimalist aesthetic before showings.
Tip 4: Make use of those extra rooms.
If you've been using that extra bedroom or screened porch as a storage area, now is the time to do some re-organizing. Buyers want to see the potential of every square foot of space, and having a room that is filled with mess downplays its possibilities. Instead, visualize how another family might use that space – as an office? A guest bedroom? A playroom? Put a couple inexpensive pieces of furniture in the space to match the chosen theme, and let your buyers imagine having an extra room rather than an oversized closet.
Tip 5: Follow your nose.
This is especially important if you have pets: Make sure your house doesn't smell. Lingering odors can make the whole home feel unclean, dingy, and unwelcoming. Wash any linens that might hold onto an unpleasant scent, and wash any surface where pets may have left their mark. Light a candle, bake a tray of cookies – do whatever you feel is necessary to make sure your house smells homey, not stinky.
When staging your home, the goal is to make the most of what you have so that visitors can see its potential. While you may love certain things about a house, a stranger may have different needs for their living space – so be ready to re-style your home into a blank canvas for a buyer's imagination when you are staging a house to sell. Your real estate agent can provide expert guidance and advice on how to stage your house to sell, and provide you with the best tips for selling your house, so rely on their wisdom!
Preparing your house for sale is critical to getting the best offer.
Your real estate agent should be able to direct you to a qualified home staging professional in your area. This article definitely has Great tips! Staged houses sell faster and for more than non staged competition.
As a home stager (property stylist) for the last 8 years, I have found no greater joy than transforming a house into a picture-ready property for the MLS. Not only does it help the seller to get top dollar but it relieves stress knowing their home is ready for that broad market of potential buyers to walk through. Most homes can be transformed in a few hours with just a restyling using most of the owners own belongings. Correct furniture placement is key. Investing in a property stylist that knows their stuff is a wise investment for anyone wanting to sell. Most real estate agents know this and offer their client someone free of charge to do the work or have recommendations.
One must not judge book by its cover and do not judge a home by its cover either. Location, location, location! Look at the mechanicals and know the difference between structural defects and cosmetic defects. The latter is easier to fix and works in your favor.
De-cluttering will definitely make your house looks clean and organized. Great blog by the way and thanks for sharing!
I appreciate your suggestion of decluttering before putting the home for sale because a cluttered home is not only distracting, it will also make it look smaller. If that is the case, then I will make sure that I store, donate, or throw away the things inside the house. I can agree, after all, that the mess made it look smaller than it actually is. Hopefully, this works in getting my house sold immediately.
I'm glad that you talked about how buyers would want to see every potential square foot of your property. My son and I have a lot of collectibles lying around. We are looking to sell our old home to move to a bigger property that has enough space for a proper recreational room. It certainly looks like we'll have to work with a home stager that can help us showcase our space to sell our house a bit faster.
I want to get my home sold quicker, so it seems like staging it would be the best plan for me! I can see how making it look better on the outside would definitely bring people in. If it looks good on the inside then it would definitely help hook people in!
I have heard before that the curb appeal is the most important aspect of selling a home. My wife and I are thinking about selling our home and we will have to focus on cleaning our gardens. The idea to swap exterior lights for new ones is a really good idea that I really like.

To boldly go where public health hasn't gone before
Rollins School of Public Health researchers will soon take their research into orbit, partnering with the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) in a new satellite mission to study air pollution.
NASA chose Rollins as a joint recipient of its $100 million award — $2.3 million of which will come to Rollins — to study the effects of air pollution on the population through a satellite mission, according to Yang Liu, associate professor of environmental health. He noted that this is the first time a NASA space mission has incorporated a public health component.
"We're the scientific guinea pig," Liu said.
The Rollins research group, led by Liu, co-created the project idea with NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL). The mission will construct and use a Multi-Angle Imager for Aerosols (MAIA) device to record airborne particulate matter, which will collect data on the effects of pollution on public health from at least 10 locations with major metropolitan areas.
Once constructed by JPL, the MAIA device will be mounted on a compatible Earth-orbiting satellite. "Even though it's a small mission, it's actually the first ever in which we get to work with NASA engineers to build public health into the DNA of this instrument," Liu said.
The Rollins team will analyze the data to make predictions about public health issues such as birth outcomes and cardiovascular disease. The team will also serve as the public health liaison between JPL and other institutions in the complete research group. Recruited by Liu, the complete group has teams at University of California, Los Angeles, Harvard University, University of British Columbia, and University of Dalhousie.
Because the device will orbit via satellite, it will provide a more holistic view of air pollution data than the commonly used ground monitors.
"It's very difficult to cross to a completely different scientific community and convince them that this mission is not only worthwhile but also feasible," Liu said. "Hopefully, Emory will make a mark in NASA history."


Parkin's innovative healthcare designs have been published in Healthcare Design since the publication's launch in 2001. Parkin submitted three projects this year. All were accepted for publication. They are Hamilton Health Sciences – Pediatric Emergency (page 121), Woodstock General Hospital (page 138) and Winchester District Hospital (page 181).

This is the third and final post on multi-channel customer service.
It is part of a programme I'm running with Capita in their role as 'Masters of Tactical Transformation'. We are on a mission to help the largest service brands in the UK accelerate their adoption of digital engagement.
These posts kick start a series of discussions on key topics such as multi-channel, social customer service and cross-functional customer engagement. They will then extend over the summer into master classes which will provide the space and guidance to develop strategies and road maps on each of these competencies. You can find out more about the master classes here.
In my last post, I discussed the need for a disciplined approach in developing a multi-channel strategy. This is best sourced from a thorough understanding of each core customer journey in which the contact centre is involved, together with an outside-in appreciation of what matters to the customer in that context.
Different journeys have different demands. Understand those and you can begin to match them against the unique capabilities of each channel.
In this final post of the multi-channel series, I'm going to dive deeper into this idea that each channel is best analysed for its communication properties as opposed to its supposed cost advantages relative to other channels.
Have you noticed how technology vendors always manage to position each new channel as somehow better than the ones you already have?
Chat is probably the most abused channel in this sense. When asked why chat is such a great channel, the most common answer I hear is that it's cheaper because advisors can hold more than one conversation.
This is seductive reasoning to anyone who needs to find a winning business case to put in front of eagle-eyed procurement teams.
But in customer engagement terms it is often nonsense. As someone who pondered the business case for chat when it first arrived over 10 years ago, this is the way I remember it.
Chat was primarily adopted by technical help desks in those days. The most common solution to most computer problems was to suggest a reboot. That generally took an age. Enough time, in fact, to sort out a few other customers in the help desk queue.
From this grew an urban myth.
Admittedly, there are some equivalents in today's world. Multi-tasking customers is one such scenario. They are happy to complete their chat session as one of many other things (watching TV, eating, checking emails, etc.). So it's ok to flip between slow-reacting customers.
Another scenario is low complexity questions that warrant just a cut 'n paste answer. Although customers are quick to recognise when this is attempted without any 'top and tailing' of the response which finesses the impression of personalised service.
Or maybe you simply don't want to afford more headcount. Simultaneous chat sessions are a resource planning assumption Maybe the customer is not in a position to take their business elsewhere. Therefore the service experience is a secondary concern. From a business perspective, this is understandable.
But it is important to distinguish this kind of commercial pragmatism from believing that chat is somehow a superior communication channel. When it comes to it, communication with a customer is no different over voice or text when the situation or expectation demands your full attention.
Anyone who understands how active listening works knows that a person's attention needs to remain undivided. If customer experience is a priority then this is equally true for any real-time channel such as text chat, video chat or phone.
I'd argue that chat's value lies in its unique strengths. Just as voice is unique in its appropriateness for resolving emotional and complex issues, chat shines through in other ways.
It's the natural channel for e-commerce or any other reason why a customer might be visiting you online. Chat is then a perfect door that can be opened based on certain customer behaviours. It is real time, efficient and consistently scores highest in customer feedback.
But, equally, it not so intuitive when the customer situation is different and neither wants nor needs to reach your website in order to communicate.
In this context, a quick tweet on the move might be easiest for the customer.
Do you have something in stock at this retail outlet?
Can you help, I've broken down?
The benefit here is that the customer has no need to even find a contact channel. Just mention the brand and expect them to be listening out.
How about other forms of text?
If you have caught up recently on the growth of messaging apps, you might have read how fast WeChat has grown in the domestic Chinese market. 600m strong, it's become an entire ecosystem with integrated payment capability. Consumers are using it for all sorts of daily chores with brands who have also set up shop within WeChat. Service interactions naturally blend into that context.
Or let's think about a smartphone user who has got used to the new visual IVR that you are now offering. They like the simplicity of 'click to call' which is only offered as an option to VIP customers, especially when the wait times for each channel are shown in real time, so that they feel empowered in their choice.
As multi-channel designs becomes more sophisticated, and the innovators start to search for fresh competitive advantage, a solid understanding of how customers behave, matched against the unique strengths of their portfolio of voice, text and video channels, will need developing as a strategic competency within customer service teams.
The masterclass we are holding in June provides a foundation understanding in this new service design skill. Please let us know here if you would like to find out if you qualify for a free place.

Outsourcing: Is Egypt the new India?


EghtesadOnline: European Central Bank President Mario Draghi defended free trade and post-crisis financial regulation at the U.S. Federal Reserve's Jackson Hole symposium, while avoiding any comments on monetary-policy deliberations or the euro exchange rate.
The euro extended its gains, as some investors had hoped Draghi would try to talk down the single currency amid fears it'll undermine the euro-area recovery. The single currency had already climbed to the highest level against the dollar since January 2015, and was up 1 percent at $1.1923 at 3:24 p.m. in New York, according to Bloomberg.
The ECB chief also eschewed any comments that could be seen as prejudging the outcome of the Sept. 7 Governing Council meeting, when policy makers are planning to review their unconventional stimulus policies against the backdrop of strong growth but still-subdued inflation.
Expectations for Draghi's speech were high in financial circles after the precedent set by the his previous appearance at the mountain resort in 2014. On that occasion, Draghi warned that inflation expectations were declining in the euro area, laying the groundwork for the start of quantitative easing the following year.
Earlier on Friday, Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen defended the financial rules set in place after the global financial crisis, warning that any rollback should be "modest." That point was echoed by Draghi in his speech.

Gum disease, also known as periodontal disease, is a bacterial infection of the gums surrounding your teeth. Gum disease is one of the main reasons for tooth loss in adults. Gum disease is virtually pain-free and therefore many patients do not know they have the disease. The disease is devastating because the bacterial infection destroys the gum tissue and underlying bone that holds the teeth. When the foundation is destroyed, the teeth become mobile and fall out. At each regular checkup, Dr. Nugent and his hygienists will check for signs of periodontal disease by measuring the pockets between your teeth and gums.
Gum disease is caused by a bacterial infection. The bacteria clump together to form a white sticky substance called plaque. If the plaque is not removed (by flossing, brushing, and regular dental checkups), it will continue to build up and mineralize to form calculus (tartar). One the bacteria have created calculus only your dental office can get it off the teeth. The bacteria excrete toxins that destroy the gum tissue and bone. As more gum tissue is destroyed and pulls away from the teeth, a larger pocket if created. This larger pocket allows more bacteria to accumulate and creates more tissue destruction.
Gingivitis — This is the first stage of gum disease. The gums become red and swollen, and bleed easily. Early recognition of the disease is treatable and can usually be eliminated by better and more frequent daily brushing and flossing. An electric toothbrush is highly recommended.
Periodontal Disease — If left untreated, gingivitis will advance into periodontal disease. The gum tissue and bone that support the teeth will become irreversibly damaged. As the teeth lose their foundation, they become loose, fall out, or be removed by a Dr. Nugent.
Scaling and root planing is a procedure that the Hygienist performs to get the bacteria off the teeth and out of the gum tissue. It is also called a "deep cleaning" because the cleaning goes underneath the tissue to remove calculus, tartar and bacteria.
Dental implants are the best way to replace missing teeth that are lost to periodontal disease.
Regular dental checkups in our Pasadena, Texas dental office are vital to your dental health. Yearly periodontal examinations are significant in maintaining your health and the health of your smile. You don't have to lose teeth to periodontal disease. Everything starts at home with good brushing and flossing. Eat a balanced diet, and schedule regular dental visits to help keep your smile healthy. Visit us at 3421 Burke Rd STE A, Pasadena, Texas 77504.

Necotrans was a French firm founded by Richard Talbot in 1985 and specialised in logistics and international transport: freight forwarding, oil and mining logistics, port terminals activities, equipment distribution. Grégory Quérel was the last Chairman of the group. Following financial troubles, the company underwent a bankruptcy procedure in 2017 ending up with the sale of individual parts to various investors. The brand rights were partially also transferred and were still in use in some of the entities as of 2018.

History
Necotrans was founded by Richard Talbot in 1985 to focus on freight forwarding activity. In 1989, port management activities and ground logistics in Africa were launched. Necotrans acquired the automotive and equipment distribution activity in West Africa in 1992 to diversify its activities. In 1999, the firm grew in freight forwarding business with the acquisition and the creation of AMT, a logistics firm specialised in the oil industry and services. In 2005, Necotrans took on Vopak LMF France, an industrial logistics project, before adopting in 2012 the brand name Necotrans, encompassing all of the Group's activities.

Activities
The group's major markets were located in Africa. Its headquarters were located in Avenue Georges V, Paris. It has an intensive expertise in the field of port operations in Africa, and the group has developed a network covering mainly the west coast of the African continent. The Company provides integrated services, from a point of origin to the delivery of the goods on site.

In 2014, Necotrans has won the bid for the autonomous Port of Dakar's bulk terminal. A concession of agreement has been signed between Necotrans and the Port of Dakar for the bulk terminal on the breakwater 8. The state of Senegal has granted a 25-year concession to the Company. The development of a terminal for bulk, for a cost of 74 million euros, was intended to modernise the Port of Dakar. This terminal is dedicated to non-food heavy bulk freight, mostly for minerals. In addition to this investment, an amount of 20 million euros is intended to the construction of a new quay to facilitate unloading.

As the result of the tender launched in May 2014 by the authorities of Cameroon, the Necotrans group and the Kribi Port Multi Operators (KPMO) consortium, consisting of nine local operators, have been awarded the partnership contract for the operation and maintenance of the multipurpose terminal at the deep-water port at Kribi in Cameroon.

In 2015, Necotrans acquired Mining Company Katanga (MCK), a company specialised in civil engineering and logistics solutions for mining in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. This company is located in the southern province of Katanga, a region bordering Zambia called the Copperbelt and known for copper mining.

The group also created Africa Truck Solutions (ATS) in 2015.

Key Figures
Last available figures for Necotrans Group before bankruptcy:

Turnover: 1,063 million euros

Staff Worldwide: 5,000 employees

Staff in Africa: 4,500 employees

Locations Worldwide: over 40 countries

Locations in Africa: 25 countries
