Sharing (Coaching) Wisdom: Installment 4 featuring Darrin McBroom
If you'd like to read the first three installments of this series, you can find those here, here, and here.
For my fourth and final installment, allow me to introduce you to Drake University's Head Women's Volleyball Coach, Darrin McBroom.
Darrin McBroom, Head Women's Volleyball Coach at Drake University
Darrin is unlike any other coach I've featured, in that, he was nominated by a former player. She thought he deserved to be recognized for the profound effect he had on her and her love of the game. There's something to be said about a coach who impacts his team so much that his legacy endures long after the individual athlete's playing days are done.
Here's what Darrin's former player, Erin, had to say about him.
Message: I played volleyball in high school and was a decent player but I definitely did not love the sport. I didn't want to rack up student loans so I looked into playing in college. I committed to Iowa Western and played for Darrin McBroom. He made me fall in love with the sport and helped me go on to play for an NCAA Division I program. I played many sports growing up and had many coaches, but he is by far the best coach I have ever had. He always had motivational stories to tell that related to parts of the game and always respected his players. He now coaches at Drake University and I thought he'd be a great coach for you to interview.
I believe it's important for coaches to know that the time, effort, and personal sacrifice they put into developing their players – everything they do day in and day out – does make a difference. Not only does the approach and dedication Darrin applies to coaching result in winning programs; more notably, he's left lasting impressions on the athletes who have played for him over the years.
Below are three questions I asked Darrin to answer and his corresponding responses.
Q1: You are the first coach to be nominated for inclusion in this series. Your ex-player who nominated you credits you for helping her fall in love with the sport of volleyball. How do you manage coaching different players who each possess not only different skill sets but also different levels of engagement with the game?
Darrin's Response: Well, the one commonality that all of my players have had is a love for volleyball and for competition. While at Iowa Western, I coached players from China, Brazil, Puerto Rica, Russia, Ukraine, Dominica, Canada, and the U.S. The one thing they all had in common is that they loved to play the game.
For myself, I walked away from a full-time teaching career…giving up summers off, tenure, and higher pay…to become a full-time coach at Iowa Western because I loved the game and I loved being a part of these teams and the lives of these kids.
I always wanted each season to be one of the greatest experiences that they had ever had playing volleyball and I knew if they were having a great experience, then they would give the best they had to me and the program. Integral to that experience was striving for great achievement on the court (individually and as a team), developing life-long friendships, and creating life-long memories. These teams were always like a family to me and I encouraged that kind relationship among them.
Q2: What's something that's kept you up at night over the last two decades coaching volleyball (meaning, is there something you try to control but seems to be uncontrollable)?
Darrin's Response: Although people talk about the challenges of working with young people, that is all I have ever done and all I know. While I certainly have agonized over some of the poor choices some of my athletes have made in their personal lives and academically, it is not the athletes that have kept me up at night.
More often than not, it is the adults whom I work with who have created the most challenges over the years. The young people have not really changed that much; it is the adults who have changed.
Q3: Do you or members of your coaching staff keep an eye on the social media accounts of both existing and potential student-athletes? If so, what advice would you give to young adults about their digital profiles?
Darrin's Response: As a general rule, I and my staff do not specifically monitor our athletes' online profiles or those of incoming athletes. However, we have from time to time become aware of postings or statements that they make.
We take the time to make sure that these young women understand that what they put out on the internet is a representation of more than just themselves, but also the University, our program, and certainly all of their teammates. Therefore we advise them to be very judicious about what they put out there, especially since it cannot be taken back.
I would recommend that all young people be very careful and deliberate about the creation of their of their digital profiles as I do not think they realize the impact that one inadvertent comment or photo can have on their future.
Darrin is entering his fourth season at the helm of the NCAA Division I Drake Bulldog volleyball program, which competes in the Missouri Valley Conference. Prior to joining Drake, he spent eight seasons in the National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA) where he compiled an overall record of 322-58, earning a winning percentage of 85 percent, to rank him among top 10 active coaches nationally across all NJCAA divisions. Read his complete coaching bio here.

Guest blog by Leslie: Volleyball 101 for parents of youth players
One of my biggest motivators for launching GiveTheGameBack earlier this year was to connect with other youth sports parents to learn from them and their experiences. One sport I know very little about is club volleyball. What I've heard about the sport second-hand from parents whose kids are playing is that it is INTENSE AND EXPENSIVE.
Lucky for me, I met fellow writer Leslie Murrell. Leslie and her husband have a set of twins, one boy and one girl, who are both heavily involved in sports. Leslie played volleyball and basketball for West Texas A&M University and, like me, has transitioned from competing as an athlete to spectating as a parent.
I hope you enjoy her insight into club volleyball as much as I did. Enjoy!
You would think, as a former collegiate volleyball athlete and club coach, that I'd be fully prepared to be a volleyball mom. Not so much, it turns out. This last year has been a year of growth and learning for this momma just as much as for my daughter, Lucy.
Volleyball is fairly unique in the world of select and club sports.
So here are my tips and explanations for club volleyball moms (and dads) out there:
Don't get sucked into the drama.
It's not your drama. Chances are, it's probably not the team's drama either. In my rookie mom year, I was completely sucked into some super bizarre dialogue, gossip, and drama. Little, if any, had anything to do with Lucy. I can't decide if it's the money invested, or the parents adjusting to their daughter in sports.
Volleyball is a strategic, smart sport.
Trust your daughter's ability and emotional intelligence. Heart to heart, and mom to mom, this is a tough one. Stop telling people how smart your daughter is, and let her show you. Give her some room to learn and do.
Don't be sexist.
We have the unique disposition of having boy/girl twins who are also athletes. So, seeing how the parents interact with my son's team versus my daughter's team is interesting. My observation is that parents emotionally coddle their daughters in sports way more than they would their sons in sports – which is odd, given that girls mature faster. On the flip side, volleyball continues to grow in popularity so much that your son may ask to play. Please don't be sexist! There are boys' teams out there too, and it's a great opportunity.
Prepare financially and emotionally.
Club volleyball as I see it, seems to be one of the more expensive select or club sports. Do your research on the clubs in your area. Go through Heidi's tips for select sports. Learn what each club offers. Many clubs in town offer several different levels. Look into all of your options and do what's best for your athlete. Ask several parents why they chose that club.
Have a complete understanding of what you're paying for.
For a travelling club volleyball team, we're talking a STARTING RATE of $2,000. For any other purchase of that amount, you'd get an itemized bill.
Also, don't assume the more money you drop, the more say you have as to where and how much time your daughter plays. Try to remember everyone on the team paid the same amount as you did.
If you pay that club fee and then you get hit up for a Sand Training, it's not bogus.
Not only is training in the sand is one of the most effective ways to improve on coordination, agility, fast-twitch muscles, but beach volleyball is now offered as a scholarship sport at several universities. And it's not just on the west coast. The University of Nebraska-Lincoln has a beach volleyball team.
Learn to say no or sandbag that financial preparation I just mentioned.
Be prepared to get up charged on private lessons, camps, and clinics. In talking to my other select sports moms, this seems pretty unique to volleyball. Consider your budget, your daughter's time, and prioritize what you feel is necessary based on her goals. It's okay to be the parent who says "no" to an additional tournament or private lessons.
We were first to speak up about a tournament we didn't want to add on, and were soon relieved to discover there were several other parents who felt the same way…which leads me to my next point…
To travel or not to travel? You have options.
In Omaha, alone, we have more than five clubs which, on average, have three teams in each age group. We are a short trip down I-80 from one of the most successful college volleyball programs in the country, a direct consequence is a lot more competitive youth volleyball clubs. Regionally, the Midwest is oozing with clubs and competition to play.
There's a pressure to travel so that you don't have to play the same teams over and over again.
Here's a fun math equation: If a collegiate volleyball player plays for four years, she'll play the same opponents at least eight times. So, playing the same teams repetitively is not such a bad idea. There's a learned behavior to scouting teams repetitively played, and making adjustments when you play them again.
With that said, maybe you and your volleyball athlete and team want to travel. The larger tournaments do have a plus side. When your daughter walks into a convention center filled wall-to-wall with over 200 courts, it's kind of a big deal. That they can be part of a greater competition has significant impact on their level of competition and focus.

Understand that you don't understand the game. Whether volleyball is new to you, or you played "a few years ago," believe me, the game has changed a bit. For example:
"Hunny, poor Susie wore the wrong color, someone needs to tell her!" Don't wonder out loud why one of your daughter's teammates has a different colored jersey on. You might as well ask your kid in front of your techy boss to show you those emoji thingies on your phone again. Don't embarrass yourself like that. Ask your daughter in private how to pronounce "libero" and that will start the conversation for you.
Did you know? The volleyball libero is a defensive specialist position in indoor volleyball. The position was added to the game in 1999 along with special rules for play in order to foster more digs and rallies. The libero remains in the game at all times and is the only player not limited by rules of rotation. She usually replaces the middle blocker position when they rotate to the back row and never rotates to the front row herself. c/o volleyball.about.com
Refrain from yelling at the ref when someone taps the net. Rules fluctuate from school to club, to different leagues, regions, and tournaments. So, this rule is frustrating. But as far as I can tell, if touching the net advanced the game, they call it against the offending net toucher. If it's a sly touch on the net that does not hinder nor advance the game, the ball stays in play. Look, I hate this rule, too. But I also hate how carbs make my butt big. I don't cry and whine about it every time I'm eating cake. See where I'm going with this, y'all?
It's always rally score. You don't need to serve to earn the point anymore. I tried to tell you – things have changed.
She'll learn more than playing the game – Your daughter will learn to referee, line judge, keep the books, and keep score. This of course offsets costs for tournaments and games. But more importantly, and completely intentionally, your daughter is learning effective communication skills, volleyball call motions, how to make a quick judgment calls under pressure, applying the rules of the game, respect for other teams, how to keep stats, make substitutions, all while not playing, but while refereeing the game. Unfortunately, she'll get a ridiculous lesson in idiot parents with a checkbook and loud mouths who think they know better. She'll learn composure.
No other competitive youth sport empowers their athletes to learn the game and respect the game through refereeing the game.
So stick around. In time management of a tournament, plan on your daughter being at the very last game. Don't try to skedaddle from a tournament early after her team has lost. The losing team referees. The whole team stays until the last game is over.
Even if you're 100% right, and you just know it, yelling at a ref or a kid is 100% wrong.
Don't be the idiot parent with a checkbook and a loud mouth who thinks you know better. For goodness sake, you just asked what a libero was! Before you yell at a kid making a line judge call, remember that could be your kid out there. Have as much faith in the refereeing team as you have in your daughter.
Teach your daughter about Title IX and gratitude.
Learn about Title IX. Whether you were a female athlete or you're a dad who's new to the female sporting world supporting your daughter, or you've just discovered that indeed, they're letting the dang females play sports – you're benefiting from Title IX. Chances are, your daughter's coach played in college – because of Title IX. Which means she has experience, motivation, and inspiration to teach your daughter.
Learn to pepper.
Pepper is a term in volleyball when two players volley back and forth. It's volleyball's equivalent to "playing catch" or "shooting hoops." Get an outdoor volleyball and learn to pepper. This has been the single best advice I was given. It's repetition and ball control practice with your child. But mostly, it's a humbling experience as to how hard the game really is. It'll make you think twice before yelling something stupid at a game. When Lucy and I started out, just getting two consecutive contacts was a challenge. Lucy had to adjust, hustle, and move her feet to compensate for my lack of ball control. And she talks to me and appreciates my willingness to play with her. That, or she just feels really sorry for me and my lack of coordination. Either way, it's a delightful bonding experience.
As you can see, there are a lot of specific club volleyball tips, and then a few replays for parenting a select or club athlete. Whether you're new to the sport, or just needed a reminder, I hope you take a chance to learn the game!

January challenge - the results
All the results for the 2015 January challenge are now in and have been collated into the charts below.
This years' challenge was particularly difficult due to the very adverse weather conditions we had throughout the month, which was, as a whole, cold, wet and generally quite windy, a combination not favourable to moth trapping at all, but in the face of all these adverse conditions10 stalwarts braved the elements and between us we did manage to get a few moths, so well done to everyone who had a go.
Now let's have a look at the data its self – 13 species of macro moth and 4 species of micro moth were recorded (17 in all), a big reduction from the 25 species which were recorded during 2014. Only one person managed to achieve the 10 species for macro, which was Douglas. His achievement was all the more remarkable due to the fact that he managed to record all ten species on one night of trapping, an amazing feat which has never been done before in this challenge. No one else really came close to Douglas, I recorded 7 species and next best was Sue who managed 6 species. The micro part of the challenge (5 species) wasn't achieved by anyone; the best returns were 2 species, by Sue and myself. The number of moths recorded was also greatly reduced this year; again, this can only be due to the inclement weather.
The comparison chart below shows the top five species recorded in each of the four years the challenge has been going. As usual, the Winter Moth takes top spot with another of the 'usual suspects' the Mottled Umber taking the runners up place. For the first time, the Mottled Grey doesn't make a showing in the top five. Finally, just take a look at the number of moths recorded this year compared to previous years, 122, a drastic reduction on past performances, but hopefully something to build on next year.
Many thanks to all of those who took part in this years 'challenge' (and what a challenge it was too!). And please remember, as well as being 'fun to do' the January trapping also gives us extra data for those winter flying species which we wouldn't have were it not for extra trapping done in the 'challenge'.
The final word – A special mention must be given to Deborah who managed to trap 26 times during the month for a total catch of 'zero' - now there's dedication for you!
The full list of recorders who took part this year is:-
JH Jeny Heard
DB Douglas Boyes
PRW Peter Williams
MW Maria Wagland
DG Deborah Griffith

I hope you all have a great mothing 2015.

The expression error in the #MyGroupBy looks wrong and looks like a defect that you should report to LANSA support.
Update: Item 2 is a defect introduced in this EPC and needs to be fixed for the next delivery.
1. I noticed they were gone too. They've been moved under History on the ribbon of the Home tab.
Note sure about your item two.
Topic: Task ID Grayed out?
Re: Task ID Grayed out?
Try to remove the SOAPAgent from the problem and to focus on the HTTP TCP/IP connection.
or a POST request using some SOAP XML.
This would tell you if it was a network issue.
An 'old but gold' issue.
As KevinW says, use the PERMFILOVR. Its still in the LANSA documentation if you search for it.
And further to Arts sound advice, you should do your 'mass export' of the repository for read-only. Essentially, you just want to fill up the local slave repository with all objects. The developer can then check out for update anything to be worked on.
Hope this reply isn't too late for you but I recently got some material and examples through support for this. I was told that the material was still being improved so perhaps you should touch base with support and get the latest.
What about the point posted by soa?
Have you installed all EPCs? I had similar issues last year but they were fixed by getting current on updates.
So, are you on the latest EPC level? if not, that's the first thing support will ask you to do.
Does it happen across all browsers?
ITs possible that IIS is replacing the lansaweb error with its own error handling. So, I'd worry less about that at the moment and focus on whether there is a Lansa error and what it is. I'd report this to your local LANSA support group, they can give you the instructions to enable WAM logging.


The Teekay Axilock has metallic anchor rings that dig into the pipe wall when the coupling is installed. This prevents the two pipes from pushing apart under pressure or pulling away under end-load.
The Axilock has two anchor rings which are placed adjacent to, but separate from, the sealing mechanism.
As the lockpart is tightened the sealing lips are pressed against the pipe surface to form a seal. At the same time the two anchor rings penetrate the rubber, bite into the two pipes and prevent them from pulling apart, whether by external loading or internal pressure. The end seal is also pressed against the pipe surface, which protects both the anchor ring and the section of the pipe where the anchor rings have bitten, from any possible external corrosion.
The Teekay Axilock range is designed to replace the need for flanging, welding, pipe grooving and pipe threading by providing a quick and easy solution to joining plain-end pipe. Incorporating grip rings at each end of the fitting, the Teekay Axilock offers high levels of security by locking the pipes together under pressure. Each coupling is 100% rubber-lined, ensuring that high levels of corrosion resistance are maintained throughout the life of the coupling.
Available in single (Axilock-S) and double (Axilock) casing versions depending on pressure and diameter. Both models are suitable for new installations and retro-fit, whether on a ship, building or process plant. The Teekay Axilock range offers a versatile pipe coupling system that accommodates angulation, vibration and vacuum.
The Teekay Axiflex joins pipes that are already anchored. In this instance the pipeline forces do not have to be contained by the couplings. Therefore diameters up to 4 metres are possible with this design. The coupling can be placed over the pipe ends or supplied in a wrap - around version.
The Axiflex has two thick sealing lips which allow for pipe expansion and contraction. The sealing lips press against the pipe surface and form lip seals. The lip seals are designed to resist the internal pressure in the pipes. As the pressure increases, the lip seals swell to seal more tightly against the pipe surface.
Each coupling (whether Axilock or Axiflex) consists of a casing, a gasket and a lockpart. The purpose of the casing is to house the gasket and to press it onto the pipe surface when the lockpart is closed. The lockpart is designed to pull the two ends of the casing together circumferentially around the pipe. In order to achieve this, the coupling is labelled clearly with a torque figure which ensures that the gasket is compressed sufficiently against the pipe surface.
The Teekay Axiflex is a high performance coupling that allows generous pipe angulation and expansion/contraction. The Axiflex is a popular choice of coupling with water authorities, civil engineers and building contractors and is available in sizes up to 4.2m in diameter.
The stainless steel and high strength steel designs ensure significant weight savings are achieved over cast iron couplings. The result is less manpower, quicker installation times and massive cost savings.
The Teekay Repair Coupling is ideal for all situations where you need to make a permanent repair under pressure. Simply open up the coupling, wrap it around the pipe and fasten - you have repaired the pipeline in minutes and avoided the need for costly downtime.
The Repair Coupling comes with no loose parts and features our standard gasket which actively seals onto the pipe. The range is available up to 3000 mm OD and in widths up to 410 mm wide. The Teekay Repair Coupling is used throughout the water, process, oil & gas and marine industries.
The Teekay Repair Clamp is the budget repair coupling of choice. Featuring "cut flanges" on the underside of the fitting, this type of coupling can be easily pulled around a leaking pipe to seal a fracture. Once wrapped around the pipe, the fitter then goes about installing the coupling in the same manner as any other Teekay coupling.
Suitable for emergency repairs in buildings and industrial units to avoid costly reinstatement work caused by water damage. The Teekay Repair Clamp represents excellent value for money both at point of order and at point of use, as significant installation time savings can be achieved with the light-weight stainless steel design.
Teekay Square Couplings provide a comprehensive solution to joining box sections without the need for hot working onsite. Available in 60 mm, 80 mm and 100 mm sizes, the square coupling lends itself to the joining of aeration pipes. Expansion and contraction can also be accommodated as the coupling is supplied as a non-anchoring type. High temperature gasket options are available.

The 22-year old recent college graduate started playing poker online a year and a half ago and is playing in his first WSOP. He is now only the third player this year to have a first place and a second place in bracelet events, the others are Phil Hellmuth and Ryan Leng, as well as the youngest to do so, and the only one of the three who's finishes both came in no-limit hold'em tournaments.
"I moved out to Las Vegas in May, after I graduated college I got a part-time job and played about four to five times a week," he said when asked about his status as a player. "This trip to the World Series was a trial of sorts, but given everything that has happened over these two weeks I think it will supersede my other job."
Ferraro's day was a rollercoaster of chip changes, coming in as an average stack, to being down to six big blinds, to spinning it up to the chip lead at the beginning of the final table. Ferraro maintained a bigger stack the entire final table, until losing the lead heads up, but ultimately came back out on top. A strong, supportive rail followed Ferraro throughout the duration of the final table and crushed him in hugs when he eventually won.
"It's just so surreal, this being my first World Series of Poker, I just never expected anything like a first place when I came out here."
Ferraro said he will be sticking around to play the WSOP Main Event.
Final Day Action
The final day started with eliminations flying quickly. Within the first two levels of play, the players had already lost nearly a third of the field, bringing it down to three tables. Bracelet winners Barry Shulman (26th-$8,633) and Mark Seif (25th-$8,633) were eliminated back to back, ensuring that there would be a new bracelet winner.
Start of the day chip leader Perry Ernest (23rd-$8,633) saw his chip lead disappear when Rustom rivered a full house to beat his own full house. He departed shortly after that, and eliminations continued at a relatively quick pace.
Within another three hours, players went down to the final table of ten when Marc Rangel (11th-$20,139) failed to improve with queen-jack versus the ace-queen held by Ronald Slucker.
Final Table Action
The final table started with Ferraro holding a slight lead over Rustom and Richard Dixon, but all being relatively close to each other and jockeying for position. Richard gained the lead when Bart Lybaert five-bet shoved against Ferraro, which put Lybaert neck and neck in third and fourth in chips.
Jason R. Smith seemed to be poised for an early double when he got his pocket kings in against queens held Edgardo Rosario on a ten-high board, but two running hearts would have his kings cracked and he was eliminated in 10th place for $20,139.
The man who brought the players to the final table was Slucker and he would be the next to depart in ninth place for $25,359 when he went all-in with a set of fives, got called by Dixon with sevens, who ran out a straight to the eight to take all of his chips.
Rubin Chappell could not gain any momentum early on and eventually put in the remainder of his chips with pocket eights, only to get called by Lybaert who had pocket queens. The board would prove to be no help to Chappell and he would be eliminated in eighth place for $32,169.
Xiangdong Huang came to the final table with the shortest stack and was able to outlast three people despite that. However, his laddering endeavors came to an end when he got his remaining twelve big blinds in with ace-eight off-suit against Richard Dixon's sixes and he was eliminated in seventh place for $41,108.
Dixon would score another elimination as he went all-in from the cutoff with ace-six suited into Rosario's big blind, who called with ace-queen. Dixon would flop a pair of sixes which improved to three of a kind on the river, Rosario would flop a queen-high flush draw and find no improvement on the river, leaving him to exit the tournament in sixth place for $52,914.
Despite some big gains early in the final table, Dixon found himself on the losing end of big pots against Ferraro and Lybaert, as well as doubling up Sean Dunleavy, and being shown a bluff by Rustom that had him declaring verbally that he was on tilt for the rest of the final table. Dixon finished in fifth place when he cold-called a four-bet from Ferraro and called an all-in on a queen-high board with ace-queen. It was no good against Ferraro's pocket kings and the early final table chip leader found himself eliminated in fifth place for $68,604.
Lybaert was the next to be eliminated when he called off against Ferraro, only to run into pocket aces on a king-high board. Lybaert shook hands with his opponents and left the tournament in fourth place, collecting $89,587 for his efforts.
Ferraro took the lead into the three-handed portion of the final table that was over within 20-minutes. Dunleavy went all-in on a river after check-raising the turn with three jacks, only to run into a flush Rustom made on the river. Dunleavy shook hands with his opponents and he ended his second WSOP tournament he had ever played in third place for $117,882.
Ferraro Comes from Behind to Defeat Rustom
Sami Rustom
Rustom started heads up with a 2:1 chip lead and start to win some pots early, but one key pot where Ferraro caught Rustom bluffing with jack-high, pushed the momentum into his corner. After that point, Ferraro won another key pot where Rustom paid him off when he rivered a straight against the pocket kings of Rustom and the chip counts found themselves flipped from where they were at the beginning of the match.
The final hand had Rustom going all-in for one-third of the chips in play after Ferraro had raised. After going into the tank for over a minute, Ferraro called with his pocket tens which were good against the pocket fours of Rustom. The tens held up and a shocked Ferraro shook hands with Rustom who collected $156,056 for his second-place finish.
Ferraro started his world series as the second to last man standing and has now become the last man standing. At 22 he is the youngest bracelet winner of the 52nd World Series of Poker and now the only player with a second and a first in two no-limit hold'em bracelet events.

Pitts and Bello both look like they don't care if their season ends today.
Can we rebound please?? What the ****????
We're getting flat footed. Don't like our intensity right now.
Getting tired of every Cincy score getting a replay.. but its BearcatTV, so I guess to be expected.
I'll take the 7 point lead at the half..... but we need play with more focus and improve the rebounding in the second half.
Can Pitts please not commit dumb fouls.. we really can't afford it.
Can't tell if Brunson is present or in uniform today.

Startup Stage Cost Reduction Strategies, Entrepreneurs Training Program Launch
By: Press Release Distribution Service
A group of business founders is introducing a mentorship program designed to help entrepreneurs reduce startup costs.
New York,United States - November 24, 2022 /PressCable/ —
IdeaPros has launched mentorship opportunities for aspiring business founders who need expert advice in bringing their ideas to market. According to the company, its mentors can help budding entrepreneurs address issues commonly encountered prior to launch, such as maximizing funding.
More information is available at https://www.ideapros.com/start-now
While startup costs vary per industry, Shopify's research found that small businesses in the US spend about $40,000 in the first year of operation. The company's research also discovered that 66% of new business owners used their own savings to fund their ventures.
"Our mentors will go over your startup budget with you from top to bottom," a company spokesperson said. "We'll show you the best practices for launching a product or an app, and by doing so, you'll be able to save on costs in the process."
To receive mentorship from IdeaPros, one can either pitch an idea to the company or enroll in one of its courses. The latter involves taking the company's flagship Purpose-Driven Entrepreneur course, which comes in three packages. One thing common in all packages is access to an ask-me-anything, or AMA, session with a dedicated business mentor.
The second option involves pitching a business idea to the IdeaPros team. According to the company, it will evaluate the feasibility of the idea, the potential market, and one's ability as a leader. If the applicant passes the final interview, a formal offer will be issued and the ideator will be paired with a team of mentors who will help him or her prepare for a national launch.
"The people who will be tasked to work with you will have a combined 200 years of experience in launching successful products. They've been where you are right now, so they help you avoid mistakes that can needlessly set you back," the spokesperson said.
IdeaPros was founded by Frederick Cary, a serial entrepreneur and popular business personality, who has attracted a huge following on multiple social media platforms. Aiding him is a team of tech founders and business executives, many of whom have founded or held C-level positions in multi-million dollar companies.

The Mechai Pattana School is for the rural poor of Thailand. Many children from other rural schools end up migrating to the cities for a better education, the Pattana School aims to keep these children at home. This schools mission is, "to create a generation of honest leaders who will improve rural Thailand" they achieve this mission statement by "promoting the following values: environmental protection, education, poverty eradication, philanthropy, integrity, democracy and gender inequality" (mechaifoundation.org). They achieve these goals by encouraging creativity and imagination, which develops the whole individual, not just the intellectual abilities of this person. This school is not only for the children; this is a life long learning center for members of the community. The community members can use the school as well to improve their knowledge of agriculture, business and vocational skills. "This will guarantee that within three years, no family that has children at the school will be in poverty" (mechaifoundation.org).
The Mechai Pattana School encourages the interaction and involvement of the students in every step of their education. One way the students are involved is that they have to earn their lunches and tuition. The students earn their tuition and lunches by community service; one lunch equals one hour of community service and to pay for tuition the students and parents must plant 400 trees and do 400 hours of community service. The students are also involved in teacher selection, they get participate in the interview process and help make final decisions. Students also get to choose incoming students; students in the eighth and ninth grade decide on the incoming seventh graders. Another way the students are involved is that two students get to be on the school board and all students can be involved in the schools purchasing and auditing committee. Mechai believes that being apart of these committees helps illustrate real world situations. All of these interactions provide an irreplaceable experience of responsibility and leadership.
The two most impressive aspects of this school are that during the student's education they will operate their own businesses and also get to decide what they want to learn. "Students understand the link between entrepreneurship and philanthropy, and they start many businesses of their own" (mechaifoundation.org). The profits that the student's make through their businesses provides scholarships for needy children in other rural villages, they also provide these children with tutoring and mentoring. From running a business where they provide for the community, they not only learn how to manage money but also a sense of social entrepreneurship. The other very impressive part of this school is that the children choose which projects and activities they would like to learn more about. The teachers then help facilitate the learning process; they have to think how they can incorporate math, sciences and languages into the subject chosen. Also, the school rarely uses textbooks, they believe the knowledge is limited to what the writer wanted to say, instead they use the Internet where the knowledge is endless and can be unbiased. The students are asked to think for themselves, which develops strong critical and analytical processes.
The Mechai Pattana School is creating a generation of children who are globally conscious, well rounded individuals who can think for themselves. Mr. Mechai Viravaidya the founder of this astounding school describes the Dragon Bridge To Knowledge, which truly sums up his philosophy of education. This is a literal bridge built over a canal that symbolizes your walk from ignorance to knowledge everyday.
Each morning you walk from ignorance towards knowledge and you have this water, and you should look down and see who's ignorant and you will see your own face. Then in the evening you come back from knowledge to ignorance again, so we always have to rewind and do it again. There is no end to learning (Mechai Viravaidya).
The Pattana School aims to create good citizens who want a good life, know how to earn it and how to share. This school creates well rounded individuals which is worth so much more than an IQ number on a piece of paper.

I am very interested in teaching at Mechai Pattanna Bamboo School. I previously lived and taught in Thailand and am familiar with the fantastic work of Mr. Mechai. However, I am unable to access your web at mechafoundation.org. would you kindly email your correct contact address.

Simply put, a pressure ulcer is localised damage that occurs to the skin and/or the underlying tissue caused by unrelieved pressure.
Ulcers can range from mild damage (typical you'd notice it as a red patch with breaks in the skin) to deeper damage (dark red or purple with black patches that can turn into much bigger wounds).
Am I At Risk Of Pressure Ulcers?
Having dry or otherwise poor skin condition.
Swelling on/over any sore areas of skin.
How Can I Avoid A Pressure Ulcer?
As we mentioned earlier, try to avoid repeated friction or shearing.
Try to keep your heels elevated to minimise pressure damage.
After a bath or shower don't ruby our skin dry, gently pat it instead.
Who Should I Contact If I think I've A Pressure Ulcer?
If you're at all worried, think you may be/have developed a pressure ulcer or may be at risk of developing one due to your circumstances and would like to take preventative measures then your first port of call should be to contact your GP or healthcare professional as soon as possible.
The quicker a pressure ulcer is identified, the easier it is to prevent or treat.


Combining data with interviews, provides an organisation with the right approach to help move it forward in terms of understanding the customer to define strategy, says BSG client engagement and strategy executive Jurie Schoeman.
Jurie Schoeman (Client Engagement Strategy Executive).
Today's way of working distances us from observing how our customers interact with our brand. You could be working at head office and not get to see how your customers engage at store level. Even if you are engaging in surveys and telephone calls with customers, these are not sufficient to drive the innovative and competitive responses required.
Jurie Schoeman, BSG client engagement and strategy executive, believes the right data is essential to truly understand and predict customers' responses. "Many organisations lack sufficient customer information to drive the right strategies to maximise customer value, as rich but dispersed operational data often goes untapped because it resides in organisational silos, which limits access and inhibits a common data view."
An often-overlooked source of data is your customer. Organisations can build rapport with a customer through in-depth, one-on-one interviews, as they are more likely to share information that might not be learnt otherwise. Schoeman explains BSG uses games with clients' customers to get them to open up and understand their thinking and reasoning behind decisions e.g. Monopoly money to see how they would invest it. This type of gamification allows an organisation to assess how they should be responding to their clients' requirements.
According to Schoeman, many organisations actually know far less about their customers than they should or think they do. "Organisations need an in-depth understanding of their customer to define their strategy. This is not easy to obtain, but combining data with interviews, provides an organisation with the right approach to assist in moving the business forward."
Obtaining a single view of your customer is key and with most customers interacting with brands across a variety of channels, this is becoming more challenging. "To improve customer experience requires an ever deepening understanding of customers. With many organisations being highly siloed, this requires different areas of business to collaborate and work together."
Data can be the unifier to break down internal silos and enable organisations to serve a single customer. If organisations want to remain relevant, they will need to ensure a keen customer focus and understand their customer's problems and how best to resolve them.
"At the end of the day, customers want seamless interaction with a brand," says Schoeman.
BSG is an African consulting and technology company with 20 years' experience across the banking, specialised financial services, insurance, telecommunications and oil and gas sectors. Clients utilise BSG's services because we 'get the job done with you', by creating flow between business and IT executives.

1837 Establishment of the gardens: A set of Victorian pleasure gardens was laid out in 1837 by George Jones (a businessman from Islington in north London) in one of the disused chalk pits in Northfleet. Their full title was the 'Kent Zoological and Botanical Gardens Institution'. The chalk pit was owned by Jeremiah Rosher who, from 1830, started building a new town, Rosherville, on the outskirts of Gravesend, which could be reached by steamship and subsequently the railways. The well known advertising catch phrase for the gardens was "The place to spend a happy day".
1868 Plans of a tower and bells: The foundation stone of a new clock tower was laid on 30 April at a new entrance to the gardens that allowed access from the railway. The stone was laid by Mrs George Jones, the wife of the proprietor. The plan was for the tower to have a clock with four dials and a set of bells. Gillett & Bland, Croydon was the contractor for the clock and bells, who in turn subcontracted the provision of 12 bells to John Taylor & Co, Loughborough. Gillett & Bland planned to install two beams and hang six bells on each. Taylor recommended that three lighter beams be installed and that each bell be given a headstock to straddle the beams. The advantage of this arrangement was that each bell could be fitted up complete at the works and merely lodged into their places in the tower. It doesn't appear as if Gillett followed that advice as these fittings were never invoiced for. [1] [2] [3] [4] [5]
1869 The Court Case:The plan for the tower and bells met with opposition from one of the neighbours, Mr Simpson, who launched a law suit against the proprietor, George Jones. At the hearing in March, Jones stated that he realised that in erecting the tower with the windows overlooking the neighbours, he had violated the terms of his lease. Simpson was also concerned about any nusiance caused by the proposed bells. The two parties came to an agreement at court that Jones would block up the windows overlooking Simpson's property if he was allowed to proceed with the bells. Furthermore, if Simpson or any of the other neighbours found the bells a nuisance once they were operational, they had the power to have them stopped. Jones was of the view that once Simpson had heard the "pleasant and melodious chimes, he would be so delighted as to wish that they might never stop again", a comment that brought laughter to the courtroom. As far as Simpson was concerned, this was a good deal as it meant that he had the power to ensure that the bells were not played too late at night or to inappropriate tunes. The Judge was pleased that the two parties had sorted this out between them, and noting the catch phrase "The place to spend a happy day", he hoped the parties would spend many happy hours there. Jones' counsel also brought laughter to the courtroom when he described Rosherville Gardens as "the most beautiful chalk pit in Europe." Building of the tower and installation of the bells:The tower was largely completed in October. It was 70 feet tall and visitors were able to climb up it with ease to see the views, the clock mechanism and the bells. The bells themselves were cast at Loughborough in this year. They formed a diatonic chime of 12 in G with the heaviest being 2-3-8 and the total weight being 15-1-0. They were invoiced on 9 Apr for £106.15.0. The clock played the Cambridge quarters on the bells, and each hour a tune was played using the carillon machines (although there was also a manual keyboard). Each day brought a different tune. Disappointment in the bells: All was not well as Gillett & Bland relayed a complaint from the client, George Jones, who was disappointed with the result. John Taylor robustly defended the quality of the bells, pointing out that many believe that bells should sound like the mighty rings in London, but not realise that if you order little bells, you get a different sound. Taylor went on to note that this is why we "Ringing Islanders" have never been persuaded to take up carillons in the way they have overseas. Taylor had advised Gillett to come and hear the bells before they were dispatched to approve their quality, but Gillett declined to do so, which Taylor regretted. As a solution, Plans for remodelling: Taylor recommended that the ring be remodelled with three larger bells, remove the 3 smallest and substitute a C sharp for the C natural bell. This would generate a diatonic chime in D. This would only need Gillett to return two of the bells to the foundry against which to match the tuning of the new bells. Gillett agreed with the remodelling, but not with the new design. Instead they requested just two larger bells to transpose the ring from G to E flat, and by removing the lightest four bells, this would generate a diatonic chime of 10 bells if four new bells were cast to insert the correct notes. Taylor commented that clearly no "practical bell man" came up with this idea! Nonetheless, this is what was done. As well as removing the lightest four bells, the old 6th was removed and the old 11th was recast to the same note but slightly heavier. The result was a set of 13 bells. The old bells were bought back by Taylor for their metal value. The second heaviest bell was cast on 15 Dec 1869 with the rest the following year. [6] [7] [8] [9] [10] [11] [12]
1870 Remodelled chime, but continued dissatisfaction: Gillett & Bland's order was completed, with the 6 new bells cast, totalling 16-1-22 in weight, invoiced at £115.2.6 on 19 Mar, which was also the day they were noted as leaving Loughborough. The bass bell originally came out too flat, so a new bell was cast (on 7 Jan). The first attempt was included in the new ring of five bells for Whitfield, Northamptonshire (as the 3rd of five, weight 5-0-3). The work on the tower and bells was completed in time for the season opening (on Easter Monday). The newspapers in April reported that the tower had 13 bells. But the result didn't stop the arguments, as the bells started to be referred to as "pestering chime bells". Enquiries from Rosherville started asking for chimes with the smallest bell to be 3cwt, which would have suggested the casting of a set of ten bells 15 cwt, or twelve bells at 28 cwt, but Taylor acknowledged that there might be no appetite for the price. As for the 13 bells in the tower, Gillett & Bland lay the blame on the quality of the bells. Taylor was having none of it, pointing out that George Jones himself heard tunes played on the bells in the foundry and was very pleased with the result. Taylor lay the blame on the chiming mechanism devised by Gillett which was not striking the bells with enough force to get the best sound out of them (i.e. not matching the force that would be applied by a manual carilloneur). Gillett then went on to complain that the bells were out of tune, despite them also being judged as in tune by Gillett's representative when testing them in the foundry. The invoices were not settled as they should, and while Taylor's acknowledged that Gillett & Bland was having financial difficulties, nonetheless robustly demanded payment as they had given "all the warning they could with proper respect". [13] [14] [15] [16] [17] [18] [19]
1871 Newspaper reports suggested that the keyboard was available for the general public to chime the bells, again reporting that there were 13 bells. [20]
1872 Removal of the bells: George Jones died in this year, and the gardens, including the tower and bells, were put up for sale. Newspapers at the time reported that there were 13 bells, but also occasionally mentioned 19 (presumably in error, but there were eventually 19 bells cast for Rosherville over the period). The gardens passed to the "Rosherville Gardens Company Ltd." It appears that the bells at this stage were taken back by Gillett & Bland. Perhaps they were never paid for. However in correspondance with John Taylor, when Gillett asked Taylor to quote for a set of 8 bells, Taylor suggested that Gillett take 8 of the bells out of the Rosherville collection. In the event, Keble College did not pursue the option for 8 bells and elected to install 3 hemispherical bells from Mears instead. [21] [22] [23] [24] [25]
1874 Again, Gillett & Bland contacted John Taylor for some bells, this time for Madras (modern day Chennai) where they were looking to install an hour bell with two quarter bells ("ting tangs"). Gillett said they would use the Rosherville bass bell as the smaller quarter bell and asked Taylor to cast the other two. Taylor suggested using the 2-3-20 (A flat) Rosherville bell for the other quarter bell, but in the event, Taylor provided the bells requested. These were invoiced on 28 Nov and presumably shipped to India the following year. The fate of the other bells is not known. Gillett & Bland may have used them in various single clock jobs, or possibly sold them for scrap. [26] [27] [28]
1878 There was terrible loss of life when the Princess Alice steamer collided with the collier Bywell Castle just after leaving Rosherville Pier. 640 people died from the collision, 240 being children. This was the greatest loss of life of any British inland waterway shipping accident. The popularity of the Gardens began to decline from this point.
1887 The townsfolk of Gravesend started discussing a suitable monument to mark the Golden Jubilee of Queen Victoria. They quickly settled on the idea of a freestanding clock tower in the town. When originally proposed, one of the committee stated that he was confident that the Rosherville chimes would be given for the project without cost as they were not in use there. Other newspaper commentators felt these "toy bells" would be more suited to be hung in the old windmill on Windmill Hill overlooking the docks, which at that time were competing to become the future docks for the port of London. Of course, the bells had already gone by then. [29] [30] [31]
1891 The bells were again mentioned in the newspapers as "muscial chimes", the last such reference. [32]
1900 The Rosherville Gardens Company went bankrupt and many of the fixtures and fittings were sold off the following year.
1903 The Gardens reopened in an attempt to revive the business, but they closed again in 1913. The following year the area was used as a film set before the War brought all activity to a halt.
1939 The site was sold to developers. The clock tower was demolished in this year. The local newspaper reported that the bells had been removed "many years ago" to the Gravesend Clock Tower, which was erroneous. [33]
[1] ROSHERVILLE GARDENS.- The first stone of the proposed new clock tower, at the new entrance of these Gardens on the London-road, was laid on Thursday week by the wife of the enterprising Proprietor, Mrs George Jones. The tower will contain a handsome clock (The Era - Sun 10 May 1868)
[2] Letter from John Taylor to Gillett & Bland, probably representing the preliminary enquiry for the bells: "Send proposition for the small peal of 10 or 12 bells, the following to be about the weights (twelve bells, largest 31" weight 5 cwt, total weight 33cwt) for £231. With respect to the cost of hanging we are unable to state exactly. It depends upon the material whether oak or deal. With the former should thing the framework with headstocks & smithwork fitted up all complete ready to send away to be fixed but exclusive of carriage & fixing would be about £50 for the whole peal. Never having made deal frames we are hardly prepared at the moment to give an estimate. It would be considerably less than oak. Cannot guarantee the price for a week after this date." (John Taylor Letter Copy Book 6/1/2/27/164, 7 Apr 1868)
[3] John Taylor's estimate to Gillett & Bland for a small "peal of 12 bells to be in harmony with each other and of the following weight or thereabouts (twelve bells, largest 25" XVII G 3cwt, total 15½ cwt) at £7 per cwt £108.10.0. The fittings will not be a heavy matter as they are not to ring but we thing the plan of hanging six bells on one beam is not so well as fitting up each bell with a separate headstock - each end of the headstock to rest on the beams - then have 3 beams which may be light	er than the 2. [Sketch of arrangement]. There is decidedly an advantage in this plan that every bell can be fitted up complete at the works & merely require lodging on to their places in the tower. We should be happy to fit them up in this manner with the headstocks & smithwork ready for fixing (not including beams) for £1 per bell. We would also engage to fix the above in the tower (supposing that there is a clear passage to admit the bells) including carriage & travelling expenses [for] £7.10.0."

[10] Letter from John Taylor to Gillett and Bland: "Gentlemen. We are truly sorry that you did not take our advice and send someone to hear the bells before they left here - we almost guessed the result, for English people are too accustomed to Church Bells and ringing that they can only imagine bells to produce types of sound they imagine every peal of twelve bells to give forth [?] tones to St Saviour's [Southwark Cathedral], St Michael's [Cornhill], &c. only they suppose by having the lighter they may not be quite so loud - we have been years trying to instill some more correct notion of bells into their heads, but those "Ringing Islanders" eschew everything else in the bells way that you may entrust to them that we almost despair of them ever taking to the "foreign carillons" - [?] to the Rosherville Bells in own opinion are [? - ?] unless Mr Jones will go to over 30 cwt for the [?] - by increasing the size to about 6 cwt we get just to that part of the [?] that is neither the same cry or voice as the smaller ones nor like the larger ones. That is what we noticed at Boston that of those notes were omitted very fair [?] might have been obtained - we would however [?] to encourage the task for bells - do our best in casting some bells for approval but we by no means recommend the Rosherville job to interfere with Mrs Talbot's because it is an easy matter to cast 3 larger bells for Rosherville and take away the 3 upper notes, and insert a C# for C natural, which would transpose the bells into D. The three larger bells to weigh about dia 2'1" 3-1-0 F#, 2'3" 4-1-0 E, 2'6" 5-2-0 D. [Total] 13-0 at £7 per cwt. The only bells we should want here to tune the above to are the present largest and the 5th above it that is the D bell. Would allow £5 per cwt for the Bells we take in exchange, the larger bells to be sent subject to Mr Jones's approval." (John Taylor Letter Copy Book 6/1/2/29/187, 11 Oct 1869)
[11] Letter from John Taylor to Gillett and Bland: "With respect to the Rosherville bells I am sure you are altogether wrong. All you require is a C# and F natural. Also an F# bigger than the present largest C would be found useful. By adding the bells suggested to your letter of the 5th inst you cut the peal up altogether. With the F# you would play God Save the Queen in C. The C# would modulate into the dominant of the present key. To make any addition or alteration we should be obliged to have one or several of the bells here as the case may be." (John Taylor Letter Copy Book 6/1/2/29/200, 8 Nov 1869)
[12] Letter from John Taylor to Gillett and Bland: "We are in due receipt of your favours of the 11th and 12 inst. First in reference to the Rosherville Bells we regret very much that it is determined to put 2 larger bells and transpose the peal in that manner. Also further that the four upper notes are to be dispensed with ... Evidently it is not a practical bell man who proposes this because the 2 larger bells about to be added are getting into the scale of ordinary church bells - and tune as you will many people will fancy them to be higher in note than some of the bells above them. We however submit to you the following which will be about the weights. The five largest bells will have to be sent here to tune to we sufficientlynear to cast to when that is done. ... We would do the very best that can be done with them. New bells E flat weight about 1-1-0, B flat 2-1-0, A flat 2-3-0, F natural 4-0-0, e flat 5-1-0 [Total] 15-2-0 at £7 per cwt.

[14] Letter from John Taylor to Gillett and Bland. Taylor is "quite aground as to what to suggest respecting these pestering chime bells". Now they are making enquiries with the smallest bell to be about 3 cwt good music may be got from such peals, but what will they say to the expense. Suggests the weights for peals "but for such purpose I would not make the bells so thick and strong as Mr. Denison's scale". Suggests peal of ten (tenor 46" XXI E flat 15 cwt), or twelve (tenor 57" XXIV C 28 cwt). Cannot take the present bells at more than old metal price, there "being so many I could not expect to sell them all again in any reasonable time" but asks if Gillett & Bland "could work them in somewhere more advantageously". The price for new bells must be £613s. per cwt as metal prices are expected to advance immediately. (John Taylor Letter Copy Book 6/1/2/30/114, 4 May 1870)
[15] Letter from John Taylor to Gillett and Bland acknowledges receipt of their letter of 18th with the letter from Mr Jones respecting the Rosherville bells and chiming machinery. Taylor sincerely regrets the unsatisfactory state of things, but has done everything in his power to secure satisfaction. The bells were pronounced in tune before leaving Loughborough and tunes were played upon them to the satisfaction and gratification of Mr. Jones and others. We all agreed including your own tuner that they were correct. If the effect of the music produced by the machinery does not come up to what is expected I don't see how the bells can be blamed after the test they have been put to. In addition to the bells being small I am sorely afraid the machine does not get out all the tone that can be brought out of them. They require a sharp tap about equal force to a smart blow delivered by a man with a 2lbs hammer. They will bear a much heavier blow in proportion than larger bells - in fact require it. Not having heard them up I can only speak from supposition upon these points. I don't know anything else likely to cause such discordant effects as there was nothing of the kind when they were played by hand. I really do believe that if people will have such small bells the only plan is to arrange them in the tower so as one or two men may perform upon them with hammers. Even on church bells I never think the blow from a chime or clock hammer gives out such a full note as when struck with a good sized clapper by the hand. I have well pondered the matter over but can think of nothing as an improvement as regards the bells themselves than having the large bells as really that is what is wanted. With respect to the machinery and style of tunes that you know better about than I can tell you. It is very disappointing. Having has experience in these cases I have been most careful and indefatigable in my exertions to give satisfaction. (John Taylor Letter Copy Book 6/1/2/30/120, 24 May 1870)
[16] Letter from John Taylor to Gillett and Bland: "I am exceedingly sorry at your disappointment relative to the appreciation to the small bells. Having attempted the thing myself years ago I am not so very surprised. As for condemning them as being out of tune I quite declined any responsibility on that score. I did not allow the bells to be sent from the foundry until you had submitted them to the approval of a person of your own appointing. I would not make such small bells for any one but upon those conditions. I know well again & again what the public say of them. You have just the same difficulty with those not so far from Godmanchester when we were there the people were most …ement about them. I was willing to do anything I possibly could whilst the bells were here to alter or cast over again to meet the approval of those you might appoint, but with such little bells I cannot pretend to follow them to the place. I could not do more than I have done or was anxious to do to give satisfaction. In reference to your remark of the weight of the 6 additional bells we find that in our proposal of the 13th of Novr. 1869 only five additional bells were proposed. The upper F natural was omitted by some means or other but six are ordered thus the extra weight of metal is accounted for. We are making a peal of Church bells for Bournemouth [St.Peter's]. Also have done some work lately for Miss Talbot at Temple Guiting. I regret very much about these small bells but could not divert you from getting into the difficulty tho' I gave you all the warning I could with proper respect. Whenever we have executed foreign orders we have always been paid upon delivery to the wharf after which we have had nothing to do with them. I am very sorry to be pressing but I can assure you gentlemen I am urgently in need of cash or would not be so importunate. However without any disrespect it must be thought quite time that out a/c was settled." (John Taylor Letter Copy Book 6/1/2/31/42, 30 Aug 1870)

[21] Letter from John Taylor to Gillett and Bland: We hope you will not neglect the bill Messrs Foster are holding over. As soon as you can see to it we must beg of you to do so. It is not fair of you to lay the blame of the Rosherville business on to the bells. Mr. Jones express himself perfectly satisfied and pleased with them when we played tunes upon them in our yard. If the chimes fail to produce the same effect upon the same bells the fault cannot rest with the bells. We may also add that we are prepared to play tunes upon our bells at Rosherville. Let them be so placed in the tower that we can strike them. This would at once shew whether the bells are right or wrong. Our own impression is that machinery does not answer for those small bells. There is an indecision & want of expression in the bow from chime hammers that can hardly be described as accounted for. We have played upon them by hand to the great delight of listeners. We have not heard of machinery accomplishing so much. We are however anxiously awaiting the completion of one of your improved machines which we hope will perform all that can be desired.
