Because effective data use is so key to nonprofit direct mail success, AccuList USA goes beyond data brokerage and supports fundraising clients with merge-purge and segmentation, predictive analytics, and data hygiene and appending, as well as rental list vetting and parameter selection.
Some fundraisers question the need for a more sophisticated data approach, of course. So we'll pass along a recent NonProfitPRO blog post by Chris Pritcher, of Merkle's Quantitative Marketing Group, which challenges overly narrow views of donor data. Too often, using data to understand the donor base is limited to one of two categories, Pritcher notes: 1) RFM (recency, frequency, monetary) data and giving history, or 2) donor demographics and behavioral measures, ranging from factors such as wealth or related interests/purchases to applying behavior-lifestyle systems such as Prizm. Whether the data is first-party or third-party sourced, each approach has its limitations. RFM often silos data from a single channel, for example, even though donors live in a multi-channel world. RFM also focuses mainly on short-term financial action, ignoring donors, especially Millennials, whose giving is maximized through an interactive, long-term relationship. Meanwhile, though donor demographics can help avoid low-opportunity lists and segments, demographics in isolation may be too general for effective response targeting. Wealth data indicates who has money but not who is willing to give that money to a specific cause, as Pritcher points out.
Pritcher urges fundraisers to step up their donor targeting and embrace "multi-dimensional segmentation" over the either/or data approach described above. Instead, nonprofits can analyze donor actions (both financial and non-financial) along with data such as demographics, wealth, donations to other organizations, etc., to create more actionable segments. Here are some of his basic tips for success: 1) avoid a myopic view by using financial and non-financial information across channels; 2) control scale by limiting segments and focusing on actionable over descriptive data; 3) include a plan for migrating donors into the most engaged segments; 4) focus strategy and budget on top donor segments, and use segmentation to acquire prospects likely to grow into similarly engaged donors; 5) target messaging by segment to further boost response, affinity and loyalty.

The NYPD sent out the above video hoping someone can help them identify the man shown methodically robbing Webster Pharmacy, 753 E. Tremont Ave., on Thursday night, Jan. 27. Police say the man made off with more than $600 in cash and watches.
In a press release, police described the robber as being a Hispanic male in his mid-30s or early 40s, with a "thin build."
Anyone with information can call NYPD's Crime Stoppers Hotline at (800) 577-TIPS. You can also submit tips by logging onto the Crime Stoppers Website or by texting their tips to 274637(CRIMES), then enter TIP577.
Still waiting on the policies and standards of comment deletion. Shameful.
No way- the robber was reportedly Hispanic?? I don't believe it for a second!
Wait you deleted a comment about allowing the racist comment from 6:45 to stay?
How was that a personal attack?
Please do clarify why you delete some things but not others?
Can we get a list of accepted phrases and illicit epithets? Is there some style guide at this blog site? Are there the "Seven word you can write in blog comment?"
What is your journalistic and philosophical stance, in general, on censorship?

Q: Serverless express close mongodb connexion I am using serverless on aws with nodejs and mongodb atlas as database
At the moment I am using the trial version which allow maximum 500 connections.
Seems that my code is not disconnecting the database when process end
I am using express to manage it
First I had no connection close thinking that the connection will be closed automatically once the process end but no I had a lot of connections open.
Then I added a middleware to close my connections after the response has been sent, it was not working, I was thinking that serverless was stopping the process once the response was sent.
Not on each route I am closing mongo connection, for example
router.get('/website/:id/page', async (req, res, next) => {
  try {
    const pages = await pageDataProvider.findByWebsite(req.params.id);
    await mongodbDataProvider.close();
    res.json(pages);
  } catch (error) {
    next(error)
  }
})

This is how I handle connections with mongo
const MongoClient = require('mongodb').MongoClient
const config = require('../config')

const MONGODB_URI = config.stage === 'test' ?
  global.__MONGO_URI__ :
  `mongodb+srv://${config.mongodb.username}:${config.mongodb.password}@${config.mongodb.host}/admin?retryWrites=true&w=majority`;
const client = new MongoClient(MONGODB_URI);

let cachedDb = null;

module.exports.connect = async () => {

  if (cachedDb) return cachedDb;

  await client.connect();

  const dbName = config.stage === 'test' ? global.__MONGO_DB_NAME__ : config.stage;
  const db = client.db(dbName)
  cachedDb = db;

  return db;
}

module.exports.close = async () => {
  if (!cachedDb) return;

  await client.close();
  cachedDb = null;
}

I do not understand why I have so many connections open

A: Step 1
Isolate the call to the MongoClient.connect() function into its own module so that the connections can be reused across functions. Let's create a file mongo-client.js for that:
mongo-client.js:
const { MongoClient } = require('mongodb');

// Export a module-scoped MongoClient promise. By doing this in a separate
// module, the client can be shared across functions.
const client = new MongoClient(process.env.MONGODB_URI);

module.exports = client.connect();

Step 2
Import the new module and use it in function handlers to connect to database.
some-file.js:
const clientPromise = require('./mongodb-client');

// Handler
module.exports.handler = async function(event, context) {
  // Get the MongoClient by calling await on the connection promise. Because
  // this is a promise, it will only resolve once.
  const client = await clientPromise;

  // Use the connection to return the name of the connected database for example.
  return client.db().databaseName;
}

A: I think its a programmatic error in your close method. Please have a closer look at

if (!cachedDb) return;

I think it should have been

if (cachedDb != null) return;

As stated in other response, I would strongly advice against closing the DB connections with each request. You should be looking for a pool mechanism, where a connection from the pool is handed to your application. The application can wait till it receives the connection
Closure of the DB connections should be handled at the time when the application is exiting (shutting/going down). This way application will at least try to close the connections gracefully.
Nonetheless, here is an adaptation your program
index.js
const express = require('express')
const app = express()
const port = 3000
const dbProvider = require('./dbProvider');

dbProvider.connect();

app.get('/testConnection',async (req, res, next) => {
    console.log('Doing something for fetching the request & closing connection');
    dbProvider.close();
    console.log('After closing the connection');
})

app.listen(port, () => {
  console.log(`Example app listening at http://localhost:${port}`)
})

dbProvider.js
let cachedDb = null;
let db = {};
module.exports.connect = async () => {
    if (cachedDb) {
        console.log('Returning Cachedb');
        return cachedDb;
    }
    else{
        console.log('Not a cachedDB');
    }
    db.setup = 1;
    return db;
}
module.exports.close = async () => {
    if (!cachedDb) {
        console.log('Since its cached DB not closing the connection');
        return;
    }
    db=null;
    return;
}

And here is the console output:
-> node index.js
Not a cachedDB
Example app listening at http://localhost:3000
Doing something for fetching the request & closing connection
Since its cached DB not closing the connection
After closing the connection

A: According to this: https://docs.atlas.mongodb.com/best-practices-connecting-from-aws-lambda/
It's a good idea to add this line so you keep your connection pool between requests.

We have multiple ways at First Baptist Locust for you to share your musical abilities for God's glory. Even if your ability is really just a love of music without any previous experience or training, there is a place for you to serve!
Adult Praise Band – open to instrumentalists ages 16 and up, our Praise Band provides accompaniment to our worship music on Sunday mornings. We are primarily comprised of keyboards, guitar, bass and drums, but can include other instruments on an as-needed basis. Any musician interested in joining the Praise Band must be proficient at his or her instrument, with the ability to read music and/or chord charts. We rehearse on Wednesday evenings at 6pm in the Sanctuary.
Adult Praise Team – Open to high school graduates and up, this smaller group of vocalists helps to lead music and sings "specials" during our Sunday morning worship services. Most of our songs are contemporary and are learned "by ear". These singers do need to be able to sing different vocal parts in a small-group setting. While we mainly sing using tracks, we sometimes sing with live music. We rehearse on Wednesday evenings at 6:45 in the Sanctuary.
Worship Choir – Open to singers ages 16 and up, this larger group of singers leads our congregational worship music on Sunday mornings and sings special anthems. We sing a variety of musical styles: contemporary, Southern gospel, classic worship anthems, etc. The Worship Choir is the central vocal group at our annual Christmas program, which includes singers of all ages. We sing from printed 4-part choral anthems, but the ability to read music is not requirement. We rehearse on Wednesday evenings beginning at 7pm. We start in the Sanctuary to rehearse with our Praise Team, then finish our rehearsal in the Choir Room.
Joyful Song Choir – Our Senior Adult Choir that enjoys singing old hymns, Southern gospel music, and classic songs of praise is open to anyone that enjoys singing these great old songs of the faith. The Joyful Song Choir meets at 10am in the Choir Room on the second and fourth Tuesday of each month, September through May. We sing at area nursing homes at least once a month and occasionally during our Sunday morning worship service. We also participate in the Church-wide Christmas program.
Youth Praise Team – our Praise Team for youth in 6th-12 grades. The Youth Praise Team learns Christian songs heard on today's Christian radio. We sing regularly during our Sunday morning worship service and sometimes help lead our congregational singing. We lead music during Youth Sunday each year and participate in the Christmas program. The Youth Praise Team meets on Sunday evenings at 5pm in the Choir Room.
Children's Music – We incorporate music into our Wednesday evening KidzMania program as well as our Sunday morning Children's Church. With the help of rotating youth and adult volunteers, our kids learn great worship songs and often share them during Sunday morning worship. Sometimes they sing, sometimes they play handbells. They always have fun! Our children also participate in our Christmas program.
Participation of the church is always encouraged in the worship of the church. Anyone who wishes to sing a solo, duet or ensemble in a given worship service may contact the music minister and schedule a worship service date and time. Call the church at 704-888-2431 .

Turkish court sentences 151 to life in prison over failed 2016 coup
323 __share-bar.count.label
Adem Altan, AFP | Defendant Akin Ozturk (C) and other defendants are accompanied by gendarmes as they arrive for their trial at Sincan Penal Institution at the 4th Heavy Penal Court near Ankara on August 1, 2017.
Video by: FRANCE 24 Follow
A Turkish court on Thursday gave life sentences to 151 people including senior military officers in one of the biggest trials over the 2016 failed bid to overthrow President Recep Tayyip Erdogan.
The judge handed 128 of those convicted between one and 141 aggravated life terms each over the deaths of 139 people, for "violating the constitution" and "attempting to assassinate the president", the private DHA news agency reported.
Such sentences carry harsher prison conditions.
A further 23 individuals were given customary life sentences, the agency said, while 27 suspects received prison sentences of up to 20 years.
Among the suspects was US-based Muslim preacher Fethullah Gulen, whom Turkey accuses of ordering the attempted putsch in which left hundreds were killed and thousands more injured.
Gulen strongly denies the claims. Turkey has failed to secure his extradition.
Former air force chief Akin Ozturk and Mehmet Disli, the brother of former ruling party lawmaker Saban Disli, who since September has served as Turkey's ambassador to the Netherlands, were among those convicted.
Lieutenant Colonel Levent Turkkan, who was the aide to then Chief of Staff General Hulusi Akar, was given one aggravated life sentence, state news agency Anadolu reported. Akar was appointed defence minister in July 2018.
Thirty-three suspects were acquitted.

'Exemplary Turkish justice'
There was a tense atmosphere minutes before the judge issued his verdicts with dozens of people including relatives of those killed during the coup bid in July 2016 slamming the court for not allowing them to enter.
Saliha Arigan, whose son was killed on the night of the failed overthrow, pressed herself against the gates, crying and shouting to be allowed inside.
"The state should be ashamed," she said. Even as the verdicts were handed down, the strained mood continued with further attempts by individuals to enter the courtroom complex by force.
"I say justice should be done. But I have no trust. May my son rest forever and the traitors be executed," Arigan later told AFP.
An AFP correspondent was not allowed to enter the courtroom by police.
Justice Minister Abdulhamit Gul hailed the verdicts, praising "exemplary" Turkish judiciary and told journalists: "Justice has been delivered."
Erdogan aide sentenced
The trial began in May 2017 in the country's largest courtroom inside a prison complex in Sincan, outside the capital Ankara.
The court also handed down an aggravated life sentence for "violating the constitution" to Colonel Ali Yazici, Erdogan's former military aide, Anadolu reported.
Yazici was already sentenced to 18 years in jail in 2017 after a trial of dozens who plotted to assassinate Erdogan at a luxury Aegean hotel during the coup attempt.
Former brigadier general Gokhan Sahin Sonmezates, who was suspected of leading an assassination attempt against Erdogan on the night of the coup bid, was given 137 aggravated life sentences and a 540-year prison sentence, Anadolu said.
The judge ordered the case of 13 fugitives including Gulen to be separated from the main coup ringleaders' trial.
The failed overthrow left 248 people dead, according to the Turkish presidency, not including 24 coup-plotters killed on the night.
Dozens of those on trial were accused of being members of the "Peace At Home Council", the name the plotters apparently gave themselves on the night of the coup attempt.
Since July 2016, tens of thousands of people have been arrested over alleged links to the coup bid under a two-year state of emergency which ended last year.
But nationwide raids by police have continued and there are almost daily reports of public prosecutors issuing detention warrants for suspects over Gulen ties.
Nearly 290 coup-linked court cases have been launched, 261 of which ended with 3,239 defendants convicted, according to justice ministry figures given to AFP before the verdicts.

Formal and tertiary education, for instance, hold the key to both personal and national prosperity. They are vital to the molding of polished leaders in science, technology, business, politics, and other aspects and spheres of any given country's socio-economic system – that is, leaders who have unlimited potential to contribute meaningfully toward any given country quest for a more affluent, a more democratic, and a more tranquil society.
But in spite of the intrinsic value of formal and tertiary education to the proper functioning of a modern society, we do not currently have adequate resources to allocate to such a vital sub-system of our national economy.
One of the basic reasons why we have not been able to adequately meet the basic needs of both formal and tertiary education, among other essential public services, is our bloated government structures, the opportunity cost of which has been enormous to the nation and the citizenry.
I, therefore, wish to add my voice to Comrade Wynter Kabimba's advice against increasing the number of Parliamentary seats in the light of budgetary constraints, and due to inadequate space in Parliament Building, which is currently not even adequate to accommodate the current 158 elected and nominated Members of Parliament.
There is, of course, a need to increase the number of polling stations, given the fact that we now have 103 districts compared to the 73 or so districts we had before the Patriotic Front (PF) assumed the reins of power.
Given the multitude of socio-economic problems which cannot be addressed mainly due to the lack of financial and material resources, one would perhaps do well to urge the Electoral Commission of Zambia and the Patriotic Front government to seriously consider the prospect for a constitutional Clause that would limit the number of elective Parliamentary seats to 103 (one seat per district). It should also increase the number of nominated Members of Parliament from 8 to 12 in order to give the Republican president the opportunity to nominate women and other under-represented members of society to Parliament.
The constitutional Clause should also provide for an increase in the size of the National Assembly by one Parliamentary seat whenever a new district is created.
Parliament would still be representative and able to function effectively as the legislative organ of our national government with 103 elected and 12 nominated Members of Parliament.
There is also a need to restrict the role of Parliament to legislative functions – that is, law-making. In other words, Members of Parliament should not be involved in the implementation of development projects; this should be the function of government ministries and local authorities.
After all, our beloved country's 10 provinces are already chock-full with such portfolios as District Commissioners, Provincial Ministers and Provincial Permanent Secretaries – all of which are supposed to complement the executive branch of the government in the implementation of development projects and programs.
Do you support the call for a larger parliament?
I do not support the call for a larger parliament. Parliamentary costs will skyrocket by 57% as a result of additional costs for the 85 new members of parliament which will in turn have an effect on our fiscal position . Supporting this call will just breed unnecessary by-elections which most Zambians have condemned. I would rather we focus on matters which will generate more financial resources for our country such as adding value to our natural resources. It is shameful that the agriculture sector is contributing just under 10% to our economy when we have a lot of land and plenty of water.
Some time back there was a woman in Britain who won a lot of money on the football pools. It was a fortune in today's terms. She was asked what was she going to do with all of that money. She replied, I am going to spend, spend, spend. She did. Some years later it was reported in the press that she had no money left.


The human mind often relies on external mechanisms for carrying out its cognitive processes, for example by using a calculator. Vehicle externalism and in particular the Extended Mind theory (Clark and Chalmers 1998) explore whether such external mechanisms, under specified conditions, are more than mere instruments for the mind; the claim is that they are parts of the mind and thus extend it beyond its outer boundaries of skin and skull. This chapter argues that high degrees of interdependence between the mind and its extensions give rise to ontological entanglements, with respect to which there is at present no theory of individuation which can tell us how many entities there are in the entanglement and what type of entity the entanglement is. The chapter argues that the Extended Mind theory sheds light on the problem of the incarnation by motivating, in a more intuitively compelling way, the need for new ways of thinking about oneness and distinctness. The problems we encounter with the metaphysics of the incarnation are not peculiar to it; the solutions might not be either.
Various versions of inclusivism about salvation, or salvific inclusivism, are considered. All versions propose that religious outsiders, which is to say outsiders to one's religious tradition, may achieve salvation but add that, in one way or another, outsiders are not as well situated with respect to salvation as insiders. Versions that involve a single salvific route are distinguished from versions that involve multiple salvific routes. The possibility that another tradition can make a contribution to the achievement of salvation, while not itself constituting a way to salvation, is considered. Proposals from Ibn al-'Arabi, C. S. Lewis, Clark H. Pinnock, and from Dominus Iesus, a recent Catholic statement on the salvation of outsiders, are discussed.

Detective constable
2. Our recruitment and selection process
3. Who are we looking for?
5. Benefits
6. Apply now
Joining us on our Detective Career Pathway provides you with a direct route in to a career as a detective constable, without first undertaking a role in uniform policing.
At times it can be a challenging role, but also incredibly rewarding – you'll help make London safer, serve our local communities, and strive to achieve the right outcome for victims and their families.
The Met, like many organisations across all sectors, continues to manage through the impacts of the coronavirus pandemic. This has had a direct impact on our recruitment of new officers and the recruitment process.
We have taken steps to ensure the safety of our staff, candidates and new joiners at each stage of our selection process and will provide detailed guidance ahead of each phase of recruitment and selection.
What does a detective constable do?
Detective constables and police constables have the same rank and whilst there are a number of similarities, they have different operational roles. Detective constables ultimately deal with serious and complex investigations, uncovering the truth and analysing evidence on cases. This could range from working to safeguard a child or vulnerable adult, pushing a case through the courts to get the right outcome for the victim and their family, all whilst making the communities we serve safer.
You'll work closely with your uniform colleagues and like them, will also need to police London 24/7. As a Detective you could be out making arrests, undertaking search warrants and also responding directly to certain crimes. It's not an office-based role and it's not always what it is portrayed to be in popular media. It's an interesting and varied career in which you may have to deal with some very tough situations, you will ultimately be making positive changes to the lives of Londoners.
Being a trainee detective constable
As a new recruit on the two-year Detective Degree Holder Entry Programme (DHEP) you will spend the majority of your time on the frontline, learning alongside experienced officers.
Unlike more traditional qualifications, the DHEP is a vocational course that focuses on practical learning and is specifically tailored for a career in policing ultimately leading to a graduate diploma in Professional Policing Practice. All learning and operational deployments on the Detective pathway are contextualised and relevant to an investigative context.
You will learn how things work in theory so that when you encounter them in real life you will be confident to deal with the situation.
The DHEP Detective programme is delivered in partnership with four London universities:
You will be assigned a place at one of our partner universities based on which Basic Command Unit you are assigned during the onboarding phase; and according to the Met operational requirements.
Throughout your programme, you'll have continual, positive support from both the Met and your university in achieving the skills and knowledge required to be an effective detective and your graduate diploma in Professional Policing Practice. The support you receive will include progression development coaches, academic personal tutor, detective tutor constables, investigative coaches, operational policing support and much more.

ADVOCACY UPDATE
Duggan Wants 30% Car Insurance Rate Cut; Meekhof Says That's 'Off The Table'
Detroit Mayor Mike DUGGAN has laid down his marker.
The only way he will plunk his political capital into the no-fault car insurance debate is to have the insurance industry promise that it will deliver a 30 percent across-the-board rate cut in return for changes to the system. Minus that, the word from the Mayor is there is no deal.
Lawmakers have been down this path before and the sticky point has been, if the insurers agree to that number, what happens in the out years? Will they boost the rates back up?
The Mayor has a solution for that. In his draft proposal, the companies would need permission of the state insurance commissioner if they want to raise rates higher than the rate of inflation.
The draft also includes a fee schedule for hospital services and on the delicate issue of unlimited catastrophic coverage, the Mayor proposes options for drivers that would lower that coverage and, therefore, the cost. For some lawmakers that has been a deal breaker in the past.
Among those is Senate Majority Leader Arlan MEEKHOF (R-West Olive), who told MIRS that any proposal that gets into the amount an industry must charge for its services is "off the table" because it's too much of an intrusion into the free market.
Instead, Meekhof is encouraging the House to take advantage of a deal the insurers cut with the hospitals last year that would create a fraud authority, make reforms to the assigned claims system and put limits on attendant care (See "Hospitals Cut No-Fault Deal With Insurers," 12/13/16).
Once these reforms are put in place, Michigan can judge the impact to Michigan's high insurance rates. If more needs to be done, additional legislation can be taken up at that point, Meekhof suggested.
All this is coming to a head as you can expect to see the Mayor's work product in bill form within the "next week or two," according to a MIRS source.
While finalizing the language, Duggan continues to build his coalition that House Speaker Tom LEONARD (R-DeWitt) referred to recently. This includes labor, the NAACP and others, which he would like to use for "leverage" to push something through the House this fall. He's also been in conversation with Gov. Rick SNYDER's office on this, as well.
"I'm cautiously optimistic," one Democratic source contends. But another wonders "why the rush? I'm not so confident that the people have bought into it."
As for the language, "it is well cemented," this source revealed, as it gives motorists cost saving options that will impact senior drivers in particular.
However, for some in the Detroit delegation, they want to see three items removed from the process that are currently used to set rates — ZIP codes, a driver's education level and credit scores. All three have been an integral part of the industry's cost setting formula for years.
One Democratic source said there needs to be a strong "educating" component to this so that the consumers know what they are buying and what they get in return.
And there is also an "X" factor in the impending debate. What happens to this package if the GOP Congress eventually wipes out the Affordable Care Act? It's that kind of uncertainty that could complicate the Mayor's effort to round up the needed 55 House votes, not to mention the fact that he will be going nose to nose with Oakland County Executive L. Brooks PATTERSON on this one. As one source put it, "that will be a big fight."
MIRS asked the Insurance Alliance of Michigan (IAM) to respond to the Duggan rate reduction proposals and it sent a brief statement saying it was encouraged by the Mayor and others for making this issue a priority.
IAM did not respond directly to the 30 percent cut, instead noting the industry supports allowing the marketplace to work and "cost control measures are the best way to drive down costs for consumers."
CPAN just released another report showing the inconsistencies and unfair premiums rates based on gender and marital status.

The Olympus EndoWorks 7.4* interface offers endoscopy providers an automated pathology solution, helping clinicians simplify and expedite the pathology requisition and report retrieval process.
The pathology interface allows clinicians to generate specimen labels, view and print daily specimen logs, electronically access status and diagnostic reports, smoothly update patient reports, search by patient, print requisitions and lab results, and interface pathology records with the EndoWorks system. In addition, the interface allows for automatic attachment of essential procedure data and summary notes, allowing the pathologist to see a more comprehensive picture of the patient's condition for a more specific diagnosis.
* Some earlier versions of Olympus EndoWorks can be upgraded via a patch to use the pathology interface.


PRESENTATION is all about packaging, right? Well… it's not the only thing. Packaging is the most basic part of our PRESENTATION to the customers, but there are other features that can helps us deliver a strong message brand and complete the shopping experience for them.
SO WHAT ELSE INVOLVES PRESENTATION?
PRESENTATION is all about service, anything and anyone that helps your shop serve your product or expertise to your customers is part of the PRESENTATION.
Your employees and their training are part of your PRESENTATION. The uniforms they wear are part of it as well. The vehicle that delivers your services or items represents your brand. Even the photography you use to promote your items strengthens your delivery.
WHAT ADVANTAGES CAN PRESENTATION GIVE TO MY BRAND?
When uniforms match your theme and color brand, they become a great feature and an inspiration for your employees to take pride in their work and represent what your business stands for. Usually uniforms are expected to be a boring combination of shirts and pants with a logo stuck in the front, but when chosen correctly (and a few creative variations), they can actually be very comfortable and useful to the people that wear them.
A delivery vehicle that has been branded with your business' logo and contact can also be used as a great promotional PRESENTATION while driving all over town. They are a great tool to be used as a "moving billboard" when on the road and as a parked sign when attending fairs and events. I have even experienced some vehicles that have extra goodies for people to take away while they are walking by the parked vehicle. How cool is that?
Your bags and containers (boxes, wraps, etc.) can enhance the way your products arrive to their destination: for a brick and mortar shop, to wrap their items and bag them to be dressed up almost as a gift should be the focus of their PRESENTATION… making sure to carefully wrap them and protect them for their traveling until their customer's home.
Ensuring that the quality of your product won't be lost, it's worth making an investment in presentation materials.
For online shops, the best way to enhance PRESENTATION is thru a well designed website. Your customers will experience your brand from the colors and the themes chosen, but making it easy to navigate and purchase from is what is going to make the best service PRESENTATION and have them return for more purchases in the future.

If you're locked out of your home, you can expect to pay from £26 to £113 for a locksmith to open your door. That's the average pricing for standard locks, whereas the price for unlocking high-security locks is £120 on average.
The average price of changing your door lock is £53 to £132 per lock, depending on the door and lock type.
Rekeying your door is much more affordable than replacing an entire lock. Rekeying means rearranging the cylinder pins of your lock to ensure your old key doesn't work. This is very beneficial in case of burglary.
The pricing of rekeying a door ranges from £30 to £75, plus £4 to £19 per lock cylinder.
If you want to install new door locks after moving to a new home, you can expect to pay anywhere from £30 to £75 per lock, as well as £15 to £23 for labor, also per lock.
If you're locked out of your car, a locksmith can quickly open it without any damage. The price depends on the sophistication of the lock, so the average pricing starts at about £23 to £38, but it can be as high as £120.
The professional replacement of an entire car lock ranges from £20 to £100, depending on the car and the type of lock. This is only the average pricing for changing the lock, as it doesn't include the price of the necessary parts.
If you need to hire an emergency locksmith, you should expect to pay a bit higher for their services. This is simply because you don't have an appointment. Calling a locksmith when there's a high demand, or in the middle of the night, for instance, requires paying more for their time and effort.
Therefore, for an emergency locksmith service, you would need to pay anywhere from £40 to £450. However, you really shouldn't pay more than £150 for an emergency service, but keep in mind that the pricing will depend on your location, time of day, and the complexity of the problem.
Have in mind that every price for locksmith services comes with additional fees for labor and potential parts. So, be sure to ask your locksmith in advance if there will be any extra charges once the work is done.
If you're ever in need of affordable and reliable locksmith services, don't hesitate to contact us. London Locksmith is available 24/7!

To book an appointment Call 01306 881313 or use Online Services.
Each GP offers a minimum of 15 routines in the morning and 12 in the afternoon. The rest of their time is spent doing home visits, telephoning patients, dealing with correspondence and dictating referral letters.
Appointments are 10 minutes long so if you need more time, please book a double appointment. Please discuss the most important thing first in case you run out of time.
At New House Surgery, our consulting rooms are on the ground and first floor. If you are unable to go upstairs, please advise the receptionist when making an appointment or on arrival.
New House Surgery also offer a late night surgery on Tuesdays until 20:30.
These are bookable in advance for people whose condition cannot wait until tomorrow.
People who feel their employer makes it difficult for them to take time off work to visit their GP.
People who have had a condition for weeks but suddenly decide needs attention.
People who have one "urgent" matter and several other "routine" matters that could wait.
The Duty Doctor will run a sit-and-wait surgery from 4 to 6 pm daily. You still need to book to attend during this time.
Patients will be offered the first routine appointment with the doctor of their choice. If unacceptable, they will be offered an earlier appointment with another doctor. If it is critical that the patient is seen the same day (and there are no routines left), the receptionist will take the patient's contact details and send an electronic message to the Duty Doctor. This may result in an appointment with the patient's usual doctor or another doctor.
Appointments are released at least two weeks in advance although some special clinics, such as diabetes or heart disease clinic appointments are released much further in advance.
We will continue to offer the high number of appointments that we currently do – the number we offer is one of the highest in the area.
We will keep you informed of delays so that you can decide how long you are prepared to wait.
We will always try to give you an appointment with the GP of your choice.
We will continue to offer you the chance to speak to a doctor, nurse or receptionist on the telephone throughout the day. If a quick phone call would save an appointment, please ask the receptionist to log a message on our system and the doctor will call you back later that day.
We will offer pre-booked, routine appointments two or three evenings per week.
Please arrive on time and let us know quickly if you cannot attend – about 120 people do not turn up every month.
If you are late, please do not ask to be seen immediately. This delays everyone after you.
Please be understanding. If we are running late, it may be that a patient has been taken seriously ill or is distraught and therefore not able to be left alone.
Please book a double appointment if you have lots to discuss.
Please give the receptionist an outline of why you need the appointment – the partners have asked them to collect this information to help us manage demand.
If you are unable to leave the house and need a GP or nurse to visit, please call before 10.30 to allow us time to put arrangements in place.
Please call after 11.00 for general enquiries as this will help to relieve pressure on the telephone system.

The Structure of Politics at the Accession of George III was a book written by Lewis Namier.  At the time of its first publication in 1929 it caused a historiographical revolution in understanding the 18th century by challenging the Whig view that English politics had always been dominated by two parties.

Subject
The book covers the composition of the Parliament of Great Britain in the 1760s particularly covering English politics, an area Namier was considered to be particularly authoritative. His principal conclusion of that decade was that British politics in the mid 1860s was very loosely partisan and governed more by a set of personal alliances within the wider power structure, which was a direct repudiation of the Whig view that English politics had always been dominated by two parties.  By way of its very detailed study of individuals, this course of study caused substantial revision to accounts based on a party system.

Thesis

Namier argued against the prevailing if declining Whig interpretation of the struggle against George III as a stage in the long term conflict between liberty and tyranny where although the king by now lacked the power to openly challenge the House of Commons' authority, it instead tried to drain power from parliament through corruption which led to the loss of the American colonies. The book argues that eighteenth century British politics was run by a network of powerful families, with the help of dependent clients with the Court as only the most important of the great families using fundamentally the same methods, albeit with greater means. However, George III could justifiably claim that he more closely embodied the national interest than the other territorial magnates and noble families who controlled Parliament. This was part of a centuries long tradition of political independence through an active share in local and national government meaning that English liberty did not result from a revolt against an aristocratic power but its gradual extension.

Structure

The book consisted of nine chapters, the first two were surveys of the backgrounds of people who became MPs looking at particular types of MPs while studiously avoiding parties.  There is then a chapter detailing the differing electoral structures within English constituencies in 1760.  There are then two essays on more specific nation topics, a consciously revisionist essay on the 1761 General Election and another essay on the management of the secret service funds by The Duke of Newcastle aiming to show that the fund was used more as a charitable resource for the distressed but well connected rather than a means to influence parliament, and the secret service accounts are reproduced in an appendix.

A second volume looks at specific boroughs looking first at politics in the relatively independent and uncorrupted county of Shropshire which sent a Whig delegation from the relatively Tory north west of England due to the influence of Henry Herbert, the Earl of Powis and Robert Clive - but in the end claimed to show that despite the appearances of a party organisation there the personal rivalry within parties and connections across parties were more important.  There was then a survey of the widely perceived rotten Cornish borough seats as these were more dependent on the government and outside influence and showing that these were far less aristocratic than many other counties.  There was then an analysis of two borough seats that were politically managed by the Treasury – Harwich and Orford and finally a set of biographical of MPs who drew secret service pensions aiming to underscore that these payments were unimportant in terms of influence.

Method

Namier used prosopography or collective biography of every Member of Parliament (MP) and peer who sat in the British Parliament in the latter 18th century to reveal that local interests, not national ones, often determined how parliamentarians voted. Namier argued very strongly that far from being tightly organised groups, both the Tories and Whigs were collections of ever-shifting and fluid small groups whose stances altered on an issue-by-issue basis. Namier felt that prosopographical methods were the best for analysing small groups like the House of Commons, but he was opposed to the application of prosopography to larger groups.

"What Namier's minutely detailed studies revealed was the fact that politics in 1760 consisted mainly in the jockeying for position and influence by individuals within the political elite" rather than ideas such as liberty or democracy, or rivalry with foreign kings, or social effects of industrial and technological change. Richard J. Evans wrote that "spending many years himself, off and on, in psychoanalysis, [Namier] believed that the "deep-seated drives and emotions" of the individual were what explained politics."

Similar Works

In 1930, a year after first publishing The Structure of Politics at the Accession of George III Namier published England in the Age of the American Revolution which  developed his structural analysis and in the 1930s they were often treated together.  The second book aimed to refute the idea that George III was set on undermining American liberties. A number of Namier's students published similar works using structural analysis to analyse eighteenth century English politics, such as John Brooke's biography of Charles Townshend.

In 1931, shortly after first publishing Structure of Politics and England in the Age of the American Revolution he became a professor at Manchester University and focused more on diplomatic history.  But in 1953 he retired from Manchester and in 1957 a second version of Structure of Politics was published.  Also after Namier retired he intensified work on the History of Parliament series, concentrating on the same mid eighteenth century period, although that volume had to be completed after his death by his student and co-editor John Brooke.  His writing for the History of Parliament series concentrated on the social makeup of MPs and their ties to one another, in the same vein as the first chapters of Structure of Politics, reflecting his idea that "the social history of England could be written in terms of the membership of the House of Commons.

Controversy
Namier used sources such as wills and tax records to reveal the interests of the MPs. In his time, his methods were new and quite controversial. His obsession with collecting facts such as club membership of various MPs and then attempting to correlate them with voting patterns led his critics to accuse him of "taking ideas out of history". Namier has been described by the historian Lawrence Stone as a member of an 'elitist school' with a 'deeply pessimistic attitude toward human affairs'.

His biographer John Cannon concludes:
Namier's achievements were greatly praised during his lifetime and unduly disparaged subsequently. On his chosen ground, the accession of George III, he made important and probably irreversible corrections to the traditional whiggish account....Later on Namier was not so much repudiated as outflanked, by critics who pointed to the narrowness of his concerns, and his lack of interest in anything but political history. The technique of structural analysis, with which his name was inextricably linked as 'Namierism', offered, in his view, an escape from voluminous narrative....[but] its limitations are very evident. There are great swathes of history where, for lack of evidence, structural analysis can hardly be applied. Even where it can, there is no guarantee that it will, in itself, generate interesting and important questions.

Critical Reception

Structure and Politics has been regarded by many as a departure from the previous historiography on George III with one historian saying that Namier's work "mark the beginning of the modern period". The work was seen as a counterpoint to the Whig historians, particularly G M Trevelyan and Erskine May who saw a more assertive monarchy at the accession of George III rather than Namier's assertion that the practice showed little difference from that of George II or George I.  Herbert Butterfield, who wrote The Whig Interpretation of History'' very soon afterwards, was also critical arguing that Namier was too detailed to draw broad conclusions and those conclusions he had were not new.

Yoga classes for pregnant women come to Dorchester
By Harry Hogger
RETURN: Yoga Teacher Laura Meakin with her son Reuben
YOGA classes for pregnant women that wowed the Dragons are coming to Dorchester.
Owner of the YogaBellies franchise Cheryl MacDonald and her husband Mike received £50,000 of investment after appearing on Dragon's Den.
Their business impressed Dragon Duncan Bannatyne, who offered the investment in return for an initial 35 per cent stake in the company.
Mrs MacDonald, author of the recently published Birth ROCKS, started her YogaBellies classes after the birth of her son three years ago and now has over 80 franchises around the world, with the latest coming to Dorchester.
YogaBellies teachers like Laura Meakin, who will be taking sessions in the county town, are giving complete training in unique techniques and advised on how to run their own socially conscious business offering classes in their local area.
Laura said she was excited to be a part of YogaBellies in light of its recent success and exposure and cannot wait to start offering her YogaBellies Birth ROCKS childbirth preparation classes in Dorchester.
She said: "I love being part of YogaBellies Birth ROCKS and really value what our sessions can bring to women, their birthing partners and their babies.
"Our classes are tailored so that mums-to-be are equipped with a range of coping skills and relaxation techniques that are suitable for them as an individual.
"The classes will be small, friendly and relaxed."
After a pitch on the hit BBC show that included a demonstration of the techniques, Mr and Mrs MacDonald had offers from both Mr Bannatyne – who described the investment as a 'no brainer' – and fellow Dragon Deborah Meaden, but they decided the Scottish health club chain owner had more to offer.
Laura will soon be offering her YogaBellies Birth ROCKS small group ante natal classes with private one-to-one sessions also available.
For more details email laura@yogabellies.co.uk
