Rated 1 out of 5 by Katie from Strong vacuum but parts fell to pieces quickly We bought this after reading Choice. Within a couple of months the round brush part broke and needed replacing. The wheels fell off the vacuum head and it now scratches the floor. Not highly recommended by me.
Rated 1 out of 5 by Andy53 from Worked Well, now broken Purchased 15 months ago this vacuum worked well to start with. After a period of time the small multi tool broke. The bristles on this tool didn't hold their position and narrowed the suction inlet considerably. After 15 months the motor fused with smoke coming from the appliance. Emailed Electrolux 5 days ago to check if I had registered on line. No reply as yet. Went to the retailer who straight away said it wouldn't be covered if the user was at fault i.e. not changing or cleaning filters etc. Consulted manual to see how often this should have occurred and found no reference. Without vacuum after 15 months is not great but I'll let the warranty and Australian consumer guarantee process run its course then update the review.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Basil from Value for money Recommended by Choice Magazine. Compact, lightweight, but still powerful. Consumables are cheap compared to the competition. Very clever 3-in-1 utility tool.
Rated 1 out of 5 by KtSl from Great vacuum, 3in1 head broke Love the vacuum but the 3in1 head is hopeless, one arm broke off after three uses. Also the hairs tend to get caught when you insert the tube into the head. Now trying to buy a replacement 3in1 head.
Rated 4 out of 5 by JEE157 from Great price, suction and easy-to-use Very happy with the vaccum cleaner , the suction is excellent, easy to move around, great length on the power cord. Price is really good as well. I would suggest the hard floor attachment should have longer bristles to ensure no contact of the body head with the floor. I have found that I need to be careful of the power level on my floorboards so there is no contact with it has the plastic head.
Rated 1 out of 5 by Mike S from Good Suction, VERY POOR Attachments!! We bought 2 of the Power Force (1 for us & one for our disabled daughter) after having an Electrolux Ultra Filtration Oxygen Line model for many years without too many problems and the fact that Choice gave it a very good overall score. Imagine our shock when we went to connect the head for tiles & carpets into the metal hose when the spring loaded latch flew apart. This was before it had even been used! I went to ring the phone number on the warranty card (1300 366 366) and was told it was the wrong dept & had to ring 1300 365 305. We eventually spoke with a lady who said they would send one out within the week. 2 weeks later I had to phone again to ask when it was coming and it turned up nearly 2 weeks later. Would you believe the next day after the replacement head arrived the same thing happened to the other vacuum cleaners tile/carpet head. I have been told it will be here within a week. There are a number of smaller issues we have with this vacuum cleaner:- a)	The rear wheels are to small to ride over the electrical cable and with the hose coming out of the top, when you pull the cleaner along it turns upside down & then the on/off is activated turning the unit OFF. b)	The turbo head does not fully engage in the metal hose so the slightest knock to the head throws the alignment of the whole head/tube/handle assembly then making it difficult to steer the head. c)	When you are pulling the electrical cord out there is no indication on when you are near the extent of the free cable and if you pull to much you are likely to put undue stress on the cable fixing. I have put colored tape at 30cm, 60cm & 90cm from the end of the cable travel.
Rated 4 out of 5 by Gingerpop from Am very happy with this purchase so far. It is very light and efficient.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Jamlb from Excellent device! My wife and I have used the vacuum cleaner a number of times and are most impressed by its ease of handling and strong drawing power.


Brit's 2016 profit has surged tenfold thanks to a recovery in its investment performance.
The Lloyd's insurer made a profit after tax of $157.6m (£126.3m) in 2016, compared with a much smaller profit of $15.6m in 2015.
Brit's 2015 profit was hit by a sharp drop in investment returns. But in 2016, investment returns recovered, jumping to $102.9m from $5m.
The improvement came despite a deterioration in underwriting performance. Brit's combined operating ratio (COR) increased by 4.7 percentage points to 96.4% (2015: 91.7%). The company said big claims added 4.5 points to the COR in 2016.
The company said that there had also been further rate decreases in "the ongoing challenging rating environment". The company said it had seen rate decreases of 3.3% during the year, although this was an improvement over the 4.1% reduction in 2015.
Gross written premiums dropped 4.4% to $1.9bn (2015: £2bn), although the company said the fall was 2.3% at constant exchange rates.
But he warned that the trading environment remained tough.
He said: "Market conditions remain challenging as competition from new entrants and additional capacity from existing competitors with appetite to grow has put continuing downward pressure on rates across several major classes of business.
He said Brit is tackling the situation by retaining quality business and shrinking in areas where there is the most rating pressure.
Brit has launched a new Lloyd's syndicate, 2988, which started underwriting this year and is supported by third-party capital.


He was born at Clydach Vale on 12 August 1924, the son of Alexander (Alec) Jones. He was educated at Rhondda County Boys' Grammar School, Porth. He worked as a clerk to the Rhondda UDC, 1940—42, and served in the RAF, 1942—45. He then attended Bangor Normal College, 1945—47, and worked as a teacher at Essex, 1947—49, and at Blaenclydach secondary school, 1949—67.
Alec Jones had joined the Labour Party in 1945. He had been chairman of the Wood Green CLP and secretary of the Rhondda West CLP, 1965—67, and of the Rhondda branch of the National Association of Labour Teachers. He was also a member of the Wood Green Borough Council. He acted as political agent to Iori Thomas MP in the general election of March 1966. When Thomas died the following year, Jones was chosen as his successor, and held the seat in spite of a very powerful challenge from Vic Davies (Plaid Cymru). This key by—election was held in a climate of disenchantment with the Labour Party as a result of local pit closures. Jones's majority was consequently little more than 2,000 votes. In 1974 he was elected MP for the combined unified Rhondda constituency with one of the largest Labour majorities in the whole of the country, and remained so until his death. He created one of the safest Labour seats in the whole of Britain, with a majority of more than 38,000 votes in the general election of June 1979. He served as a member of the Welsh Council of Labour Executive and the NUT. He was also secretary to the Welsh Parliamentary Labour Party. He was a PPS to John Morris, Minister for Defence Equipment, 1968—70, Under—secretary for Health and Social Security, October 1974—June 1975, and Under—secretary at the Welsh Office, June 1975—May 1979. While at the Welsh Office he had special responsibility for housing, land reclamation, local government and devolution. In 1979 he was appointed Principal Opposition spokesman on Welsh affairs. He became a PC in 1979. He had sponsored the Divorce Reform Act of 1969. Predictably, Jones had a deep and abiding interest in issues like housing and social services. He married on 12 August 1950 Mildred Maureen, the daughter of William T. Evans, and they had one son. They lived at 58 Henry Street, Tonypandy, Rhondda. He died at his home on 20 March 1983 having suffered from heart trouble for several years and cremated at Glyntaff Crematorium. His wife and son survived him.

Nearly 3,000 inactive voters purged from registration rolls in Williamson County
If you've moved or haven't voted recently, there's a chance you could have been purged from the voter rolls in Williamson County.
Nearly 3,000 inactive voters purged from registration rolls in Williamson County If you've moved or haven't voted recently, there's a chance you could have been purged from the voter rolls in Williamson County.

You may be preoccupied with holiday shopping, travel plans and gift wrapping right now, but there's an important deadline coming up faster than you think.
February 3 is the last day to register to vote in the March 3 Presidential Preference Primary.
From Jan. 1, 2018, through Nov. 15, nearly 15,600 people were purged from Williamson County's voter rolls.
You can be removed from the voter rolls for several reasons, such as death, moving outside your county of residence or being convicted of a felony. But you can also be removed if you haven't voted in the past two presidential elections.
Nearly 3,000 names removed from voter registration over the past two years were deemed "inactive" by the Williamson County Election Administrator's office.

About 67% of removals were due to voters who moved outside of the county, according to department data.
"We use several databases, including the USPS change of address program, to identify voters we have reason to believe have moved, then we send them a confirmation notice," said Election Administrator Chad Gray.
Under state law, if a voter doesn't respond to a confirmation notice and then doesn't vote in the next two November elections, they'll be purged.
"We purged a good many this year," Gray said.
The elections office purges inactive voters every odd-numbered year. The next will be in 2021.
Gray said a lot of people who are ultimately purged from the voter rolls live in apartments and move more frequently.
"They tend to be a little more inactive," Gray said. "Some of the highest inactive voter numbers in the county are in the Cool Springs east area, where there's so many apartments."
Out of the nearly 1,800 people purged from the voter rolls in District 12, which includes Cool Springs and much of east Franklin, more than 500 people, or about 28%, were deemed inactive.
On average, 17.5% of people purged from the voter rolls in the remaining 11 voting districts of Williamson County were deemed inactive. The lowest rate of purges due to inactive voters was 11.4% in District 8, which includes west Brentwood and Grassland.

One wonders sometimes about the people of old times who were too much concerned about the preservation of trees, herbs, plants and all the fauna that makes this planet a marvelously unique place. Why were they so careful about all the trees when no one would have (presumably) had any idea of the present global warming?
On doing some research, I found out that almost in all the civilizations of the world, the great men laid emphasis on the preservation and nurturing of these components of the system of life. Components who in perfect harmony maintain the balance of the system.
This small story is of a person of old times who spent days and nights calling people to respect the system. For he was not just a preacher (multitudes of whom are present in todays action-less societies) he acted on whatever he taught.
Now it is being related that this person would often address his people near a tree in the city where he lived. His companions has insisted on making a chair of some sort for him to address the gathering crowds from, but this person-of-true-words-and-action continued in the simple manner of addressing near that tree. Among other things he often told people that even in the worst of situations like a war they must not harm or cut a tree. Even deceiving an animal is an abominable thing in the sight of God, he would say.
People soon realized that what this person is saying is for their own good, and as days passed more and more people joined the gathering. The man-of-action retorted people that mere lectures or talks were not sufficient. As a matter of fact, he would warn his people, if such sermons are not followed by action, such sermons would harm them rather do any good. He said that even the time taken in listening to good words, advice, sermons would be accountable in the hereafter and that they will be questioned about that.
Soon, the entire society, on the whole, began to witness a positive difference ,which was displayed both in the inhabitants as well as the surroundings. As days passed, some of his companions decided to make a pulpit for the person and one day requested the person to use the pulpit from that point onwards.
As the person went to the pulpit the crowd present heard a strange sobbing and wailing from a direction which they could not fathom. On looking around everyone was amazed to see the tree, where the person addressed the people, weeping like a child. Sobbing as it were, the sound of weeping kept coming until someone kept a hand on the tree and at once the tree stopped crying. Like a child when a mother arrives to console it, it was in a similar manner that the person who used to address the people about the importance of showing care, respect, and love for all the creatures of the God.
As it happens with all the stories, the meaning is lost in the romantica of the legend. People who narrated these events to coming generations misrepresented the real advice and the moral of this great story of a sobbing tree.
Even as we look around today, there are numerous such beings which are exhibiting a similar emotion. It is just that there is no one to hear, let alone care for them. The visual thematic color green was not just a co-incidence of symbolism, it was something that seeks pondering and pro-active attitude and action.
The world is talking about sustainability today. A big hue and cry is being made in the political echleons of countries. It is time we remember the lessons of the all-encompassing sustainability that is an integral part of the faith of those who claim any association with the person of the story of the sobbing tree.


This year, Christian Aid's Christmas Appeal is asking people across Northern Ireland to support communities in South Sudan, who are facing crippling hunger and poverty. Donations made to Christian Aid's Christmas appeal between 6 November 2017 and 5 February 2018 will be matched by the UK Government up to £2.7 million.
CEO of Christian Aid Ireland, Rosamond Bennett, recently returned from South Sudan. There she witnessed the hopelessness and hunger faced by millions in the conflict-torn country.
"In South Sudan, I witnessed intense poverty. In the villages I visited, people are eating just one meal a day, made with only one ingredient. After months and months of living like this, energy levels are low and many people, especially children, are suffering from malnutrition.
More than three years of devastating conflict in South Sudan has forced nearly four million people from their homes, disrupted harvests, caused soaring food prices and the economy has collapsed. Half of the population urgently need food.
Ms Bennett added: "Hunger is not inevitable. There is enough food in the world to feed everyone, yet people are still going to bed hungry. Christian Aid Ireland is working in South Sudan to provide vital, life-saving supplies to families and communities, but we urgently need more help to reach to the most vulnerable.
"We have been giving people vouchers to buy food and other essentials with support from Irish Aid, and tools and seeds to farm. These have been life-saving. People told me that they wouldn't have survived without the vouchers. They can buy the food they need, but also pay for vital medical needs.
"The crisis in South Sudan reached unprecedented levels when famine was declared earlier in the year. If left untreated, acute malnutrition, the most extreme form of food crisis, could lead to death. And unfortunately, for the people of South Sudan, it is anticipated that the crisis will be on an even worse scale next spring.
For every pound given to Christian Aid's Christmas Appeal, the UK Government will also give a pound. That's double the support for people living in poverty. The UK Government's match, will fund our work in South Sudan.

@bot.event
async def on_ready(member):
    dmchannel = await member.create_dm()
    async for message in dmchannel.history(limit=50):
        if message.author == bot.user:
            await message.delete()

A: The on_ready event doesn't take member as an argument.
The on_ready event is called when the bot is loaded. It is not possible to get DMS using discord.py but you can get all DMS using Discord API and requests.
Code:
import requests # pip install requests

your_bot_id = "<your bot's id>"
token = '<your token>'
message_limit = 50

headers = {
  "Authorization" : f"Bot {token}"
}

url = "https://discord.com/api/v9/users/@me/channels"
resp = requests.get(url, headers=headers)
channels = resp.json()

for channel in channels:
    ch_id = channel['id']
    ch_url = f"https://discord.com/api/v9/channels/{ch_id}/messages?limit={message_limit}"
    resp2 = requests.get(ch_url, headers=headers)
    messages = resp2.json()

    for message in messages:
        if message['author']['id'] == your_bot_id:
             remove_url = f"https://discord.com/api/v9/channels/{ch_id}/messages/{message['id']}"
             remove_resp = requests.delete(remove_url, headers=headers)

I haven't tested it, but it should work.

Steven Gerrard – a start
Stacy Murphy looks back at the past month.
This season has been a bit of a struggle. Not necessarily for the team, although performances could have been better, but for me. My enthusiasm that is. I'm not sure what it is but I didn't feel the I have the usual off-the-scale interest in the club and my level of motivation. The usual light-hearted skip to the ground was becoming slightly more of a McLeish-era trudge.
The whole summer saga of the Jack Grealish transfer, the indifferent start to the season which culminated in Dean Smith leaving after five consecutive defeats followed by the appointment of Steven Gerrard, a player I found it incredibly difficult to like, had zapped my Villa energy. Predictably it didn't last.
Gerrard the manager is a far more palatable character than he ever was as a player and in a short period of time has, temporarily at least, turned around an under-performing Villa squad. Three wins from his opening four games and an impressive showing in the game which broke out in the midst of the media circus which surrounded the match with Manchester City. Those performances have also seemed to improve game on game as Gerrard has become more acquainted with his new charges.
Three of the four have been against teams who keep the ball well, liking to draw opponents out of position with a passing game and it is no surprise that Villa appeared to improve in the second half against Brighton, Manchester City and Leicester. The Brighton match was a cagey affair until the pressing Gerrard likes to employ caused the south coast club to run out of ideas allowing Villa to win the ball and attack the frustrated Brighton back line as they pushed higher up the pitch. The move for the opening goal embodied the growing confidence Villa had shown throughout the game. After winning the ball a threaded pass through midfield gave Ollie Watkins opportunity to run at a tiring defence. Notwithstanding me screaming at him to play in the unmarked Leon Bailey after he had cut inside three Brighton defenders Watkins dispatched the ball high into the Holte End net.
The surge of belief that goal gave the players energised them and was epitomised by Tyrone Mings sprinting to the Trinity Road touchline to slide to keep the ball in play to then do the reverse shuttle run into the penalty area to meeting the returning ball first time with his less favoured foot and into the net. 2-0 possibly flattered Villa a bit in that game but Gerrard had immediately halted the losing streak which had done for Dean Smith and the almost timidity which had spread throughout the squad disappeared when Villa visited Crystal Palace a week later.
At Selhurst Park, still the least accessible ground in the country, Villa were able to play different type of game which involved being on the front foot from the off. Austin McPhee having been widely expected to leave with most of the rest Dean Smith's coaching team has remained in place and, after a lull of relying Matty Cash's long throws, has again come up with inventive set-piece routines. Whether the corner from which Matt Targett hit Villa's early opener though was down to the Scot's playbook is debateable.
Palace, remodelled by Patrick Viera over the summer, were on a reasonably long unbeaten run and hadn't lost at home this season but Villa fuelled by the renewed confidence from beating Brighton ignored the current form table as the Croydon side were second best all afternoon but it wasn't until sub Anwar El Ghazi ran at Palace's defence to create a gap on the edge of the area for John McGinn to sweep the ball first time into the top left hand corner. It was no less than the performance deserved but a slight irritation of failing to keep a second clean sheet was obvious in the new Head Coach's post-match interview.
Despite being surprised by the difference over those two games I still felt more ambivalent than usually would about such a marked improvement in form especially as a media story which had been simmering since August reached the boil; the home game against Manchester City and the return to B6 of their £100 million signing, who in the event sat on the bench like a pantomime villain waiting to appear in the final scene. The possession statistics for the first twenty minutes may well have seen the Villa side of the equation in single figures as City seemed to try to bore us into submission and walk the ball in. Just as we began to get some sort of foothold in that we got out of our own half City decided to start shooting, with Ruben Dias scoring from twenty-five yards. Then as we were thinking about getting to half-time at just 0-1 down a misplaced pass suddenly allowed City a two on one break and Silva's volleyed finish must be one of the best goals Villa Park has seen in recent years.
Credit must be given to Steven Gerrard for the way he galvanised the team for the second half and McPhee again earned part of whatever we pay him for the routine from which Ollie Watkins pulled one back 90 seconds after the break. City still showed what most of £1 billion will buy you but the constant rotational fouls just added to their monotony. These infringements were more necessary because Villa had begun to Guardiola's side and could have drawn level if Carney Chukwuemeka could have hit his shot fractionally earlier. That we were able to force them into trying to keep the ball in the corner to run down the clock in the later stages showed Villa had played well enough to have worried them. The late and ineffectual appearance of our former captain both divided and united Villa fans. While some applauded and others jeered it seemed the entire ground celebrated their allegiance to let him know he is now on the outside of the Villa collective and, by the apparent teary-eyed pictures taken after the game, it seems Grealish understood the sentiment.
Like Brighton and Manchester City, Leicester arrived in B6 with a passing game but unlike the Abu Dhabi-financed side their players lacked the same quality and speed in moving the ball on to sustainably frustrate Villa into making positional misjudgements. After conceding Villa were able to able to contain Leicester and pull themselves back into the game equalising almost straight away although I still have no real idea why our first goal was referred to VAR. I can though sort of see why Jacob Ramsey's goal was ruled out; a case of officials not understanding the very ambiguous laws they are well paid to enforce.
There is an argument to suggest Kaspar Schmiechel had the ball within his control but it is a very tenuous one which Michael Oliver was ready to ignore until VAR again got involved. Ezri Konsa put himself on a hat trick early in the second half but Villa should have won by a few more as poor finishing could have set up a tense last quarter but our defence saw off Leicester's frankly half-arsed attacking threat. Even bringing on two strikers who I am sure have more goals against Villa than times they have faced us in both Vardy and Iheanacho did nothing for them. Neither did the Man City-esque niggly fouling with James Maddison lucky to stay on after his petulant and deliberate swipe at Chukwuemeka's standing leg.
Steven Gerrard's first four games have yielded three wins and another impressive performance in defeat. The defence again looks like a unit rather than individuals and playing out from the back to create gaps in midfield as the opposition press is something the new Head Coach favours. This did at one point it seem as if Paul Lambert was back in the dugout as Emi Martinez was left with no option but to put a returned ball from a goal kick out for a corner. It is midfield however where the greatest difference can be seen. John McGinn is back to his very best, even if the position of Matty Cash sometimes leaves him appearing to be at right back, and Douglas Luis is showing another side to his game when released from a holding position.
It is the player in that holding role, though, who has impressed most. I think I thought of Marvelous Nakamba as a squad player who struggled with distribution but his ball retention and crucially his passing has improved beyond recognition. No longer does he need to make two tackles to win the ball and keep it. Up front Ollie Watkins has reinforced why he performs best centrally and a route into the team for Danny Ings, when fit, is difficult work out.
One last thing from Gerrard's tenure so far which has been very noticeable is the quality, or lack of it, of the officials. Michael Salisbury's first Premier League game at Selhurst Park was 'interesting' if I'm being kind. Some of the strange calls could have been a result of nerves but the appalling red card decision against Douglas Luiz can have no excuse. I'm not the biggest fan of VAR but overturning decisions such as that is why it is operational as in previous times that would have unfairly disadvantaged us at ground where we rarely win.
The issue of having a poor official looking at the screens for VAR is less easily rectified as was the case when Paul Tierney referred Michael Oliver to the pitchside screen after Jacob Ramsey had put the ball in the net against Leicester. Far be it from me to suggest they were auditioning for a reboot of Chucklevision. Overall the little pulls and pushes to prevent a counter attack are my current main dislike as they go mainly unpunished by almost all refs.
Finally, a message to Steven Gerrard. He has boosted my enthusiasm from its semi-slumber and gained my, still at this stage grudging, respect. He has also re-invigorated the players and reversed a mini-decline. I just hope, and the signs are he won't, fall into the Houllier trap on his return to Anfield.

Go Ahead. It's Okay to Die
It's hard to be the one who must let go of someone whom you hold precariously in your grip, whether it's your child learning to walk or a very ill loved one whose lifetime is coming to an end.
Janice Van Dyck, Contributor
Author, "Finding Frances"
09/16/2011 07:10pm EDT | Updated November 16, 2011
From the time we learn to walk, we learn to let go of what is known and try for a potentially greater reward. We learn that making decisions that are right for us is one of life's greatest satisfactions. It can be scary to take steps away, to live or to die on our own. The decision can become downright paralyzing if there's someone who refuses to let us go.
Never underestimate the power of letting go. Likewise, never forget the price of holding on too long.
Many families beg a terminally ill person to hang on. We've all seen it happen. Loved ones ask a dying person to try one more treatment, to take chances with those precious last days. "For me," they say, "Do it for me," hoping for a miracle at best, or at worst, knowing it's a last-ditch attempt to prolong the inevitable. Sometimes a terminally ill person begs to be relieved of that responsibility or ignores the plea. But too many other times, a terminally ill person tries again to meet the needs of his or her family -- a parting gift of love.
But, at what cost? Whether it's measured by the life-sapping destruction of another round of chemotherapy on an already weakened body, the pain of multiple last-ditch surgeries or the emotional weight of leaving a loved one who isn't ready to be left, it is the cost of holding on too long. And, it's often a heavy cost for the dying person who must pay.
Letting go requires, first, giving permission for a person to leave you. Think about our children taking those first steps, or if you don't have kids, about the time you took your own first steps. Should it be acceptable for a parent to say, "Get back here, Junior. You're not leaving me yet," or "Please, if you love me, don't stand up," or even "What will I do if you take that step?" No. I think most people would say that is not acceptable.
Learning to walk is normal. And so is dying.
When a very ill person accepts his or her death and asks you to, don't ask them to pay the price of your hanging on too long.
The greatest gift you can give is to give them permission to die -- their way, on their time. Give permission. "It's okay to die," you can say. "You have nothing more you need to do for us here. Be at peace." This is the power of letting go.
Many people know when it's their time to die. Whether they feel it in their bones, wake up with a sudden understanding or feel it coming for a while, they are not afraid when it comes into the room and hovers. Old wives tales talk about elderly Eskimos setting out away from the family to die on some ice floe, or American Indians who head for the forest to die alone. I have no idea whether that's folklore or whether there's truth to it. But I do know it's not uncommon for animals to separate, to go off quietly to die. There seems to be some instinct that guides them. There seems to be some need for peace, quiet and non-interference.
Different cultures and religions believe different things about what does or does not happen after death. But many believe that peace at the time of death is important for the spirit of the dying person -- whether that spirit ceases with the breath or whether it lives on.
It can also be important for those of us who go on living. The power of letting go means no one becomes the victim of death. We become willing participants in life's process, and that choice -- that conscious decision to let go -- is our role in it. It is our only power.
Janice M. Van Dyck is author of "Finding Frances," a novel about a woman's choice to deny aggressive treatment at the end of her life. It is fiction based on true events.

something like that for your own business. Every time I see my clients I am always reminding them to write on their blog. Of course I get the "yeah, I will," but when it comes down to writing it, nobody knows what to write about. We all have a vast amount of knowledge of something, but we just don't know where to start, myself included. Some with knowledge in culinary arts, others in home repair, others in travel, just to scratch the surface.
Write about something you are learning about.We are always thinking of something, look into it further and write about what you have learned. By doing so you help others, and make yourself an "expert" in your field.
Write about what how just helped a new client/customer with. You don't have to put yourself out of business. You can just give a little bit of a teaser, just enough for someone to call you if you so desire.
Write about happy customers/clients. Even if you have a testimonials section, when people read about other happy people, it makes you look good, and it very often will lead to new sales opportunities.
Keep your posts SEO friendly. You want people to find you on the Internet, by keeping your posts SEO friendly you can dramatically increase your business.
Few people read the whole article, so be sure to bold the important things (or the things you want to be sure people take away from your post). No, "bolding" the entire message will not make things better, it will only annoy your readers.
Everybody likes pictures, it makes your posts far more interesting. When people's eyes are hurting when they read your blog posts, they are very likely to leave and all of your hard work is put to waste.
It is likely the single most important step that you can take is to find a good interface for your blog posts. For some, that is good old notebook paper, others it is their portable devices, still others like flat out typing it in Microsoft Word/Apple Pages. If you get a headache thinking about writing your next blog, you need to find a better interface, otherwise you will never get any blogs done.
It is for this reason that with our premium package we provide an iPad, it gives our clients a great way to easily blog, and promotes their websites dramatically. With our iPad optimized interface, we strive to make this issue obsolete.
Often, people are just not writers (myself included). This is by far the easiest to remedy. If you are married, ask your spouse to proof read it, ask your friends, other family, employees, etc. Addo Solutions also provides writers that can help guide you through this process and can help proof your next composition.
Be sure to always proof-read. I remember when I got an newsletter email from a well known store/supplier in the area when he was trying to be funny. He accidentally wrote everybody a email that was PG-13, as oppose to PG as he had intended. This is something you want to avoid.
Keeping in mind that you want your readers to become clients/ customers, try to show your readers why you are the best, why they should go with you over the other competition, why they need your product/service at all, and how it will benefit them. Show them how experienced you are in the field, tell stories of what to do, and not to do. This is key in every post. It is not necessary to show all of those reasons, but it is always good to.
Finally, be real with your readers. Talk to them, not at them. You are not holding a PA system, you are talking to them personally. That is why we dont neccessarily advocate using a little "french" in your posts, but if that is how you would naturally talk with a client, tactfully placed it can benefit your post. Get them thinking about what you are saying, and they will leave comments. This gets them more involved and more likely to return.
If you are looking for a web design comapny in Brunswick Ohio, Addo Solutions Brunswick Ohio Website Design Company is the key for you.
We are going city by city and doing whatever we can to improve companies dealing with the web market in each city, starting with Brunswick Ohio's Website Design Market. If you are in this area, give us a call to get special discounts and oppourtunities for your website today! We can offer dicounted prices, and our nortorious iPad package, where yes we as a Website Design Comapny are giving away iPads in order to improve our Brunswick Ohio Website Design Clients.
Periodically we help local Brunswick / Medina Ohio companies with their websites, even if they are not on our system. On this latest project our client was using a eCommerce platform called Magento. On Magento, it seemed that no matter what you searched for it would return all the results. This is a problem on many sites because it is a fundamental feature and needs to work on Magento (versions 1.4, 1.5, and 1.6).
With this knowledge a fix becomes very simple, so you have a few options depending on your situation.
Because this caused Magento to no matter what you searched for it would return all the results. So what we did was to in the Magento Admin, we set: System / Configuration / Catalog / Catalog Search/ "Apply Layered Navigation if Search Results are Less Than" we set this to "1." This hides the layered navigation, and keeps magento showing the proper results.
Feel free to post if you have questions or concerns about Magento seems to generating all products in every search result!
Alright, so if you are here, that means you are interested in the project on the ACM board. I will be setting up a website and will post the link here when the time comes.
I called it Project Aeta because I needed to call it something (to give it a logical link). In Latin it means "a time, an age." This is the age of robots; let's do it!
I am typing this on my iPad, and have class so I don't have time to write everything on the board. I will do this later today.
People in charge of this project I will grant access to be able to edit various parts of the site when it comes about.
Physical mapping system that can map a floor, building, room, etc.
Flying helicopters with networking functions and possibly cameras in which they communicate with the could and direct, control, and locate the ground units.
Essentially, we are laying the groundwork for these bots to do any given function that we need them to. A.I. will improve the bots functionality and give them more versatility.
Dr. Chan and myself spoke earlier today about this project. He likes the idea and says, to begin, we should research (ie. Google) the following: "system of systems."
He likes the idea and will be talking with Computer Engineering people and other sources on getting support and ideas in order to benefit this project.
Feel free to email me with questions, ideas, or corrections.


My brother passed away on November 6, 2016, from a massive heart attack. It has been a great loss to our family and we all miss him so much. I have never heard anyone say anything bad about him. He was a good husband, father, grandfather, and great-grandfather. We love and miss you John.

About Finance Durham
Business Support Directory
Exciting times for SMEs across the region
When it comes to growth business, Michael Vassallo knows a thing or two. His entire 19 year career has been dedicated to working with private and listed companies and since 2014, Michael has been a senior investment executive on SME investment funds in the region, where he has led on more than £10 million of funding.
Despite being in a time of economic uncertainty, Michael believes now is more exciting than ever for SMEs across the North -East. He said: "The UK has the reputation as being a hotbed for innovation with plenty of opportunity for growth. Nowhere is that more striking than in the North East and County Durham, which have a rich history of entrepreneurship and more recently in areas like specialist manufacturing, science and technology."
Michael has recognised that as well as the natural attractions of the region, some of the county's most dynamic young businesses are developing exciting new ideas and products. This innovation is evident by the fact that the North-East is now the fastest growing region outside London for tech-focused start-ups and the leading region for engineering start-ups; the North East is clearly a hive of activity.
Some of those same ambitious small businesses are often still struggling to access the growth finance and strategic support they need to take their products and services to the next level. It's clear that the small business sector in the North-East could do with better access to growth finance and support, which has in the past not been central government's main focus. This imbalance of resources has meant that Northern England's cities and towns have previously been left with little support, despite its rich industrial heritage.
"The North of England has historically been of great significance, but we're still guilty of neglecting the source of much of that remarkable achievement, small businesses."
Although increased lending by banks has helped to improve the situation this does not provide small businesses with the flexible support they need while they are growing. Michael is helping to support entrepreneurs to get their businesses off the ground through Maven-managed, government-backed regional funds such as The Finance Durham Fund which offers between £200,000 and £2m to support the growth of business across the County Durham.
As well as access to funding, Michael has also been providing local companies with proactive, strategic business support. Maven's strong regional presence with offices in Newcastle and Durham means that Michael and his investment team is on hand to help guide business development, provide support on strategic decisions as well as help navigate complex fundraising options.
"The benefit of being a part of a regional investment team, such as Maven, is that I can be on hand to help its businesses to establish an active role in the local community as well as identify key growth opportunities."
Five Minutes with Michael Vassallo, of Maven Capital Partners:
What was your first job and how much did you get paid?
I joined Ernst & Young straight from Oxford on a training contract to qualify as a chartered accountant and I was paid £13,000 in my first year.
What is the worst job you've had?
Cleaning out a pigeon loft for £5 pocket money.
Most expensive thing you've bought - other than car or house - and how much?
As a single ongoing problem, satisfying my idea that the right equipment will make me a better golfer. Cost, too much or not enough depending on how you look at it.
Who is the best person to follow on Twitter and why?
I'm not an expert on twitter but I would recommend @Maven_NorthEast.
Establishing the Maven offices in Durham and Newcastle and investing in a number of great businesses in the North East. The region is home to some outstanding entrepreneurs and it is a privilege to work alongside them and drive returns for our investors.
What's the best piece of advice in business you've ever been given?
There are two pieces I've been given. The first – under promise and over deliver, from my old boss at Brewin Dolphin. And from my father, always trust your gut.

When I was a kid, we lived in a valley on a very quiet dirt road. We were one of maybe a dozen year around residents, the only family with kids for many years. We kept ourselves entertained.
I remember that one of the things we used to do was scale the hills that had been clear cut for the power lines. We scampered up and down those hills like goats.
I remember being a child and gazing from the top of hill, where you could see beyond, one hill rolling into another. You could hear the noon whistle blowing for the refinery workers, but the town itself was tucked away in a much larger valley of its own. We did not often go into town as kids.
I remember just sitting there in the hot summer sun and longing, just longing to be someplace else, doing something different, waiting for the breeze to carry a random sound from a place that I could not see. There was always that longing. I don't know where it came from, but I remember that restless longing before I was even in school.
Today, I live in that town that I could not see as a child. I listen to the first thunderstorm of the season, watching the rain pour down, and in a lull, that noon whistle blows just as it always does. I am eating a salad and marveling that now I can do what I want. See what I want. Go where I want.
This post has absolutely no point. It is merely a wonderous sort of acknowledgement of change, of years gone.
I am a very lucky person.

I remember feelings like those as a kid. Even now I sometimes feel like that. You paint a very poignant picture with your words.
Kelly April 13, 2022 at 2:48 PM
I grew up in a small town, but had no neighborhood playmates (and my closest sibling was a brother, five years older). It taught me to entertain myself, something I easily do to this day.
Your first thunderstorm? This is at least our fourth week in a row with tornado watches and severe weather threats. Spring has sprung.

Things have changed, but the framework is still there! That is good

Debby April 13, 2022 at 8:49 PM
Kelly, just as I hit publish on this post, there was a very loud crack of thunder. The computer began to flicker and my growlight in the corner went nuts. I shut the computer down. It turned out that the lightning had hit an old bank in town. A large block of brick had been blown off and landed on a parked van below. Luckily, it was empty, the driver being inside the bank at the time. A woman working in the building said the whole building shook from the concussion of it.
We lost power at the house. The apartment we are renovating is a block away. That power did not even flicker.
It was our first storm of the year unless I slept through something. I know you all have been hit by wicked weather.

Mr. Shife April 14, 2022 at 2:39 PM
Sometimes those are the best posts. And it is nice to read about your gratefulness. I always felt guilty about it. Like I should be ashamed of my happiness. I attribute to being raised Catholic. Anyway, I threw caution to the wind and accepted that it was OK to acknowledge being lucky or happy some time ago and I am so glad I did. Take care, Debby.
Kay April 14, 2022 at 2:53 PM
This is absolutely beautiful, Debby and I can truly relate to it. I grew up in a small plantation town and my life has gone in all kinds of directions too.
Steve Reed April 19, 2022 at 9:56 AM
I had similar feelings. And then when I got away to another place, I was homesick! This was a very well-written post. You really captured that sense of place.

« Still Day Dreaming about Off-Grid? Here's a morsel for your solar energy hunger!
If you think long standing housing appraisers are equipped to answer this question for you, take a minute to think again. It wasn't until just last year, January 2012, that the Appraisal Institute officially backed a form of solar valuation tool.
While we are pleased the housing appraisal industry is finally looking at how to evaluate solar appraisal and valuation, this is something G&S Electric Inc. has been doing for years. We will not comment on the effectiveness of a tool just starting to be used, but we will speak to our reliability and experience to inform you what that photovoltaic energy system is truly worth.
Evaluating and analyzing a photovoltaic energy system is something that should only be done by certified system installers who provide the complete cycle of installation. G&S Electric Inc. has offered these services for years.
No matter who the installer of the system was, if you truly want to know what a solar power system is worth, contact us for an evaluation. We will do onsite review to determine if the connections were made accurately, the appropriate sensitivity of panels was installed, if shading has decreased efficiencies, if upgrades are required, or just the over all total property valuation increase with the solar installation.
The good news is, it seems there is always a property value increase when adding solar. If you are a seller, make sure you get every dollar you deserve. If you are a buyer, make sure you are getting the deal you are being told you have.

In the divisive arena of politics, Richard Nixon found common ground when he talked baseball.
triumph for Nixon, who had spent the years after his 1974 resignation from office emphasizing his foreign policy expertise in an effort to rebuild his reputation.
The memory of Watergate obscures the fact that Nixon was always a brilliant political campaigner. He and Franklin D. Roosevelt share a record for the most major party nominations on a national ticket, with five. In part, he was so successful because he often was able to appeal to voters across party lines by seeming human rather than political.
One great example of this appeal came in the summer of 1972, in the midst of his run for re-election, when Nixon named a historical all-star baseball team. He cleverly used his love of sports and the social, and cultural leadership position of the presidency -- what Theodore Roosevelt called the "bully pulpit" -- to garner positive press attention that had little to do with politics.
Nixon achieved a decisive electoral victory over Senator George McGovern of South Dakota in the 1972 presidential election. He won 60.7 percent of the vote and carried 49 of the 50 states, including McGovern's home state. His percentage of the vote was third best in American history up to that time.
He ran the 1972 election not as a candidate but as The President. Nixon and his campaign staff saw this strategy as the best way to reach out to voters who normally voted for Democrats. A deliberate effort was made to show a side of Nixon that the public rarely saw. Campaign admen worked to make sure that advertising subtly presented his sense of humor, compassion and other positive traits.
'If not for the Korean War, his record would have been greater,' Richard Nixon said of Red Sox slugger Ted Williams.
Ted Williams, the Boston Red Sox outfielder, to the list, saying, "If not for the Korean War, his record would have been greater. He was the only one to hit .400 since Ty Cobb." The president also included Stan Musial of the St. Louis Cardinals. "If he had played in New York, he would have been the greatest," he commented. But there Nixon had a problem: Musial, like Gehrig, was a first baseman. The president quickly realized the difficulty inherent in picking and choosing between legendary players and stopped.
In a follow-up question, Evans asked, "Mr. President, as the nation's No. 1 baseball fan, would you be willing to name your all-time baseball team?" An honorary member of the Baseball Writers' Association, Nixon quickly replied, "Yes."
The opportunity was too good for either the sports fan or the politician in Nixon to pass up. He would get to make a contribution to baseball, a pastime he loved, and the publicity associated with the sport would help his image with the potential Nixon-voting Democrats. The president started making his selections that Sunday at Camp David, and called on his son-in-law David Eisenhower, the namesake of the compound, for help.
David Eisenhower knew baseball. He had worked briefly for the Washington Senators, the National League franchise that had just relocated to the Dallas-Ft. Worth area and renamed itself the Texas Rangers. "We sat down together and began to study the record books for the purpose of compiling a list of stars," Nixon wrote, "which would stand up under the scrutiny such a selection would receive from the sports writers and baseball fans throughout the country." White House Chief of Staff H.R. Haldeman found Nixon quite excited about the project, noting in his diary: "The P (is) all cranked up about his baseball all-time great story."
Nixon and Eisenhower did most of the work at Camp David, but the president continued to make revisions after returning to Washington. "The P got into quite a thing about his baseball piece," Haldeman recorded. "He's spending an incredible amount of time today on the whole thing. Working out all the little details. Kind of fascinating and not just a little amusing." After looking at the finished list, White House Press Secretary Ron Ziegler told David and Julie Eisenhower, "I never cease to be amazed at the president's knowledge of both the color and detail of the sports world."


matrix and driver board (I've since bought more).
found it a bit slow, so I wrote my own library/driver for it which I've called "ARGB" as it does alpha blended graphics at good frame rates with up to 3 chained panels (though with 3 memory is pretty short given there is only 2K of RAM and my library works best with double buffering).
Here is my library in action, including the "disco clock" I've built for myself.
As the video was taken at 25Hz, it doesn't do some of the effects justice as the panel refreshes far faster.
The ARGB library features fast line/box/circle/text drawing with RGB colour plus transparency, flicker free double buffering, fast data transfer to the panel (so more time for animation, text overlays) and real time clock timekeeping (useful so long as your Arduino has a crystal).
The display is refreshed at 125Hz with a line refresh rate of 800Hz. I've made my effects update at half the panel refresh rate, 62.5 Hz is fast enough for smooth colourful animations.

Joaquim Rodriguez in a new role at Vuelta
Monday, 21st August – Joaquim Rodriguez Purito, one of the most famous Spanish riders, shared his impressions of this year's Vuelta. He is at the start line and finish line of each stage as an ambassador of BAHRAIN MERIDA Team the one is helping to develop the young riders in the team he represents.
Purito, how do you feel being at your favourite race and not compete? How can you support riders from BAHRAIN MERIDA with your knowledge and experience?
Vuelta is one of the races that I feel strongly about and that I know better. The one which I raced a lot, more than at Giro and Tour. I know the roads and I think that for the Team it is important that they can rely on a Spaniard that can always be in touch with organizers, speaking the same language, to give info about any changes that can happen on roads. I rode this race many times, even if I never won it, but I took the podium and won some stages. I know almost all the climbs and I can give my help, to Vincenzo in particular. He rode the Vuelta several times, but sometimes he does not remember the name of the climb so I can explain him the features of it to help him remember. There will be some stages where I can give him advice, also because I have the chance to know how the rivals feel.
Is there anyone special you will support? Is there any particular strategy that you can share with the guys?
I will support our three young guys too, telling them how to approach to a 3-week race and how to help a captain like Nibali that can win the Vuelta. I tell them that as in one day race they must be serious and work hard. I teach them to pay attention to details such as avoid iced drinks and keep a healthy nutrition. They are here not only to gain experience, but they need to understand that they are here with a captain and a team that aims to win the Vuelta.
How do you mostly feel, as a rider or more as a supervisor?
I still think like a rider. When I'm with the team, I feel more like a rider. I ride with them during training and I feel like one of them, I share their worries and stress about the races. Among my tasks with BAHRAIN MERIDA Team, there is the role of Ambassador, especially for the Vuelta. But not only image activity. I'm here to support our riders too. I stay at the start, close to them and help them not to be stressed.
How do you feel when thinking back on your pro career?
I'm really proud that even if I'm not a pro rider anymore, cycling fans still love me. I won several races but I did not win big races like Nibali, Contador or Valverde. Anyway, if people still remember me, it means that I left a good impression. It' s important to understand that there's more to cycling fans than wins.


Playing with people who don't speak English.
Why is every thread about Tempo Storm or LG?
Please God not Montreal, those French Canadians would be the worst crowd.
Honestly, he'd fit well with Kawhi and Lowry in Toronto. However, it's probably more likely he goes to the Lakers.
still Ghost is significantly better than eUnited. eUnited is straight trash.
MIBR not an American team and c9 is definitely far and away better than eUnited. Then again is C9 really American still?
I have this keyboard with red switches and it is the best keyboard I have ever owned, take my word for it and go buy it!
Who was your first favorite player and favorite team?
Nuke is awful. I personally like overpass since it makes players create new and exciting ways to play on a map.

Bill bans ad interruptions on SBS-TV
Save Our SBS, Tuesday, 8 September, 2009
Yesterday the Greens spokesperson for Communications, Senator Scott Ludlam, introduced a Bill that would ban SBS-TV from interrupting programs for commercial breaks. The Bill, would allow SBS-TV to run advertisements between programs only.
In a media statement Senator Ludlam said: "The Bill will not prevent SBS from generating advertising revenue, nor from running advertisements and station promotions between programs". He added the "character [of SBS] is under threat from the shortfall in public funding". Previously the Greens had called for more funding for the broadcaster.
The Bill, the Special Broadcasting Service Amendment (Prohibition of Disruptive Advertising) Bill 2009 (Bill Number 165/2009) was first introduced by the Australian Democrats in 2008. The parliament did not vote on it then. If it became law, the Bill would prohibit the interruption of programs by advertisements and station promotions on SBS television by amending Section 45 (2) (a) of the Special Broadcasting Service Act (1991) to omit the phrase 'or during natural program breaks'.
Senator Ludlam said: "It has been taken up by the Greens due to the ongoing and widespread concern about the dangers associated with expanding advertising on a public broadcaster and aims to protect SBS from the creeping commercialisation that is now evident". A former Prime Minister, Malcolm Fraser, whose government established the Special Broadcasting Service, and other distinguished persons had previously expressed similar sentiments in a public statement The SBS Must Be Special.
SaveOurSBS.org believes the re-introduction of the Bill may be timely but hopes that the government stimulus packages might now be extended to include SBS.
Prior to the May 2009 Budget, Save Our SBS made a submission to the government for a massive injection of public funding for the 2009-2012 SBS Budget coupled with legislation to ban commercial breaks on SBS.
In 2008 Save Our SBS presented a petition signed by more than seven and a half thousand people urging a ban on advertising on SBS with more funding from the public purse. Other campaigns have repeatedly called on the government to live up to its 2007 election policy statement that "Labor has opposed and continues to oppose the decision by SBS to introduce in-program advertising". (ALP email; Senator Conroy email; and, Kevin Rudd email).
As yet there is no date set down for the parliament to debate or vote on the Bill.

NASA's Top Scientists Have Concluded the Year We'll Encounter Alien Life
By Max Plenke
Chief scientists at NASA said Tuesday we'll have conclusive evidence of alien life by, at latest, 2045.
"I think we're going to have strong indications of life beyond Earth within a decade, and I think we're going to have definitive evidence within 20 to 30 years," NASA chief scientist Ellen Stofan said during a webcast panel discussion that focused on the agency's hunt for habitable zones — planets, moons and asteroids containing water — beyond Earth.
"We know where to look. We know how to look," Stofan said. "In most cases we have the technology, and we're on a path to implementing it. And so I think we're definitely on the road."
While some may be quick to write this kind of proclamation off as one zany scientist's ramblings, Stofan isn't the space agency outlier. No one asked her to pump the brakes on alien talk. A former astronaut of five missions to space and NASA's Science Mission Directorate, John Grunsfeld, said, "I think we're one generation in our solar system, whether it's on an icy moon or on Mars, and one generation [away] on a planet around a nearby star."
Age of discovery: The panel discussion comes at the heels of a string of the most promising discoveries in the search for alien life we've ever seen: A warm water ocean was discovered on Saturn's moon Enceladus in March. In January, evidence of another liquid ocean was found on the dwarf planet Ceres. In August 2014, Stofan was part of a panel that discussed Europa, an icy moon of Jupiter that has its own ocean, as a good bet for alien life.
"All the ingredients are there to make us think Europa is the next place to go," she said at the time, according to Space.com.
These aren't even places beyond our solar system. We're talking alien life that could live in planets we've seen made of styrofoam in fourth-grade science fairs — and moons we can see from our backyards.
Challenges remain: The trick is going to be identifying actual alien life. NASA may luck out and find aliens that just hang out on the surface and move around and leave footprints. Or, they could all be dead, which means having to search for evidence without any sense of what we're even looking for.
"I go out and break open rocks and look for fossils," Stofan, who is also a field geologist, said during the talk. "Those are hard to find. So I have a bias that it's eventually going to take humans ... actually out there looking for that good evidence of life that we can bring back to Earth for all the scientists to argue about."
Regardless of what goes into finding the signs of life, NASA is hopeful — even passionately optimistic. We're getting one step closer to answering the question NASA communications officer Dwayne Brown asked at the beginning of the panel, and the planet has been asking for damn near ever: "Where did we come from? Where are we going? Are we alone?"
Within a few decades, we'll know for sure.


The Air District is asking residents to not burn wood on Thanksgiving Day, to help prevent air pollution from rising to unhealthy levels.
Smoke pollution from the Camp Fire in Butte County has caused unhealthy air quality in the region for nearly two weeks. A couple of weather systems are moving through the area Wednesday and Thursday and helping to push smoke out of the region. Air quality is expected to be in the low- to mid-moderate range on Thanksgiving Day and extensive wood burning over the holiday could cause air quality to become unhealthy again.
A Winter Spare the Air Alert is NOT in effect and wood burning is not illegal, but strongly discouraged.
"For nearly two weeks, smoke from the Camp Fire has blanketed the region and caused health impacts for many Bay Area residents," said Jack Broadbent, executive officer of the Bay Area Air District. "As the smoke clears and air quality recovers, we're asking the public to not burn wood on Thanksgiving Day to ensure smoke levels do not become unhealthy again. With the public's help, we can all have clean air to breathe over the holiday."
Like cigarette smoke, wood smoke contains fine particles and carcinogenic substances that make the air harmful to breathe. Wood smoke is the major source of air pollution in the Bay Area in the wintertime and is especially harmful to children, the elderly and people with respiratory conditions.

The early history of the Elmbank is oddly unclear for so important and recent a building. It is estimated to have been built about 1870 for William Benson Richardson, to designs created by the York architects, JB. and W. Atkinson. The Atkinsons, whose work has for many years been undervalued, were responsible for much mid‑19th century development in the Mount; villas and terraces on a scale new to York.

Q: LUW DB2 For Test With DB2 on IBM Mainframe For Production Is it possible, or has anyone, created a process by which they use an LUW instance of DB2 for their test data, native, and cobol procedures, while actually using a mainframe version of DB2 to run their production software? And probably another good question to ask is, would this even be a smart thing to do?
To give some background for why I ask this question, our company is currently neck deep in our IBM mainframe to run our production system. The way we then host our test data is also within our production mainframe, on a separate logical partition (or LPAR). The problem with this comes from the fact that there are frequent times where our production load becomes so high that our development LPAR becomes starved of resources, and using mainframe DB2 to retrieve our data can be prohibitively slow.
Now some seemingly obvious solutions for our test system troubles would be to spend resources on making the mainframe faster, or even to have a dedicated test mainframe (which clearly doesn't have to be as powerful). The problem though with those likely easier to implement solutions, as everyone who's worked with IBM knows, is that the costs involved are extremely substantial. Even more prohibitive than than dealing with a slow test system (at least according to the powers that be in our organization, I do not have the first hand knowledge).
So, that lead me to the questions raised in my opening paragraph. Are there even ways to manage an LUW instance of DB2 data, native procedures, and COBOL procedures, while ultimately running production DB2 on a mainframe? Has anyone else even tired to do this? I feel like there are alot of potential issues, such as getting COBOL procedure updates to the LUW instance when developers in our other departments update those procedures, so maybe this isn't even a smart thing to do.

A: I don't think this is feasible, particularly because of the differences in SQL dialects on these two platforms -- they are small, but they do exist. And you won't be able to transfer procedures, whether SQL or COBOL, between the two -- you will have to rebuild them from sources, again, subject to the language differences.
Even if you manage to make this work, however, your test environment won't reflect the target, so whatever you're testing won't necessarily be valid in production.

A: While there are significant differences between the three editions of DB2, the basics are generally pretty similar. Granted, it would be nice if UDB actually meant that the features were Universal across DB2, and there are many cool features that each of them have that the others don't. Yet the basics are there.
See The SQL Reference for Cross-Platform Development and Selected common SQL features for developers of portable DB2 applications
COBOL programs should be able to connect via DRDA to any DB2 server, but perhaps I am being naive.  When I was in a large Fortune 500 enterprise environment, we did not connect directly between different systems, but sent transactions via MQ Series.
