Cyprus: buying property
Details on laws and taxes for British nationals who want to buy property in Cyprus.
Acquiring property in Cyprus has a number of prospective pitfalls. The British High Commission encourages potential buyers to exercise severe caution when buying a property if the title deeds are not easily available, as it suggests your property could be at risk.
Home loan liability
It prevails practice for developers to take out mortgages on land or property. If you sign a contract with a designer and there is already a mortgage, loan or claim on the property, then you are most likely to become liable for that mortgage needs to the contractor, designer or landowner state bankruptcy.
You need to ask your lawyer to look for home loans placed on the land through a Land Search Certificate which is acquired from the Land Computer system registry. It ought to be noted that in order to obtain a Land Search Certificate one requires an appropriate authorisation from the Property's owner. , if you are made conscious of a home mortgage prior to signing an agreement it is unlikely that you will obtain the deeds in your name until the home loan is paid off.
Attorneys are not needed to check for home mortgages immediately, although great lawyers need to do this as a matter of course. In 2011 the Republic of Cyprus Federal government presented a Particular Efficiency Law to provide a contract of sale precedence over any pre-existing home mortgage however we still strongly suggest that you check no home mortgages have actually been placed on the land prior to acquire to ensure you do not face prospective problems at a later date.

Other problems most often raised by British nationals include:
legal representatives acting for both vendors or contractors therefore not independent
constructing works happening without the appropriate planning approval or building authorization (eg electricity or water).
changes in currency and rates of interest affecting home loans.
payment plans or charges not being consisted of in the initial agreement.
trouble in obtaining certificates of last completion (deeds can not be issued without this).
problem in getting title deeds.
difficulty in obtaining redress after issues are identified.
With all property purchases, we highly recommend that you seek your own independent legal advice.
You must look for competent independent legal guidance on your rights and methods of redress if you have bought a property or land and are encountering difficulties.
The Foreign, Commonwealth & Advancement Workplace (FCDO) and the British High Commission are unable to offer legal advice or end up being included with conflicts in between private celebrations. Nevertheless, we direct British nationals to organisations who may have the ability to help and we can raise systemic problems, issues which affect a variety of clients, with local authorities.
You can examine the Association of International Property Professionals website to see if a company or legal consultant are members.
Buying property in the north of Cyprus.
The ownership of lots of homes is challenged in the north of Cyprus, with countless claims to ownership from people displaced in 1974. Purchase of these properties might have major financial and legal implications. The European Court of Human Rights has actually ruled in a variety of cases that owners of property in northern Cyprus before 1974 continue to be considered the legal owners of that property.
Buyers could deal with legal proceedings in the courts of the Republic of Cyprus, as well as attempts to implement judgments from these courts elsewhere in the EU, consisting of the UK. There has actually been at least one effective case to implement judgments in the UK, threatening property owned in the UK.
One crucial problem is property and the handling of pre-1974 Greek Cypriot title-owned property. Property owners and possible buyers should likewise think about that a future settlement of the Cyprus concern could have severe effects for property they purchase, including the possible restitution of the property to its initial owner, in addition to settlement payments.
in the north of Cyprus that was owned by a Greek Cypriot national prior to 1974 * ^ that was subsequently classified as exchange or 'present' land/property by the Turkish Cypriot "authorities".
Buyers should ensure they are completely knowledgeable about the rules in the north of Cyprus in respect of immigrants acquiring property, consisting of the requirement to acquire consent to the transfer of property. Even when acquiring pre-1974 Turkish title land, you might still be refused approval to buy the land/property and no reason for the rejection might be provided.
On 20 October 2006, an amendment to the Republic of Cyprus criminal code relating to property entered into effect. Under the modification, buying, selling, leasing, promoting or mortgaging a property without the consent of the owner (the person whose ownership is signed up with the Republic of Cyprus Land Pc registry, consisting of Greek Cypriots displaced from northern Cyprus in 1974) is a criminal offence. The maximum prison sentence is 7 years.
The change to the law likewise mentions that any effort to undertake such a transaction is a criminal offense and could lead to a prison sentence of approximately 5 years. This law is not retrospective, so will not criminalise transactions that took place prior to 20 October 2006.
Also files relating to the purchase of property in the north of Cyprus will be presumed by the Cypriot authorities to relate to the unlawful transfer of Greek Cypriot property and may go through confiscation when crossing the Green Line. Anybody discovered in ownership of these files might be asked to make a statement to the Cypriot authorities and could deal with criminal proceedings under the 20 October modification.
Any queries regarding the scope of this law must be made to the Republic of Cyprus High Commission in London or to the Ministry of Foreign affairs for the Republic of Cyprus:.

Property owned prior to 1974.
If you are a British national and owned a property in the north of Cyprus before 1974 (or the heir of someone meeting those requirements), please call the British High Commission by e-mail, marking your message to the attention of the Property Officer. If you wish to attempt to recover your property, they will be able to inspect your file and recommend on what actions to take.
The British High Commission is unable to help dual nationals in the nation of their other nationality. If you are a double British/Cypriot national you should approach your regional authorities in respect of claims for pre-1974 title deeds.
Buying property or land in the Sovereign Base Locations (SBAs).
Individuals thinking about the purchase of immovable property (such as land) in the SBAs require to be aware that the authorization of the Administrator of the Sovereign Base Areas is required under area 3 of the Immovable Property Acquisition (Control) Regulation 1972 for a non-Cypriot or for a non-Cypriot corporation to purchase immovable property in the SBAs.
The requirement for authorization exists whether property is presently owned by a Cypriot or a Cypriot corporation or by a non-Cypriot who has formerly obtained approval. Failure to obtain the permission of the Administrator means that the acquisition and registration of the immovable property in question is null and void. The Administrator will give consent just in the most extraordinary scenarios.
You need to also know that it is an offense for persons other than "identified citizens" to reside in the SBAs for more than 28 days in any duration of 12 months, other than in accordance with a license issued under that Ordinance. Again, you might look for a certificate of recognised house or an authorization, however the Administration only seldom consents to approving these.
Some of the problems that property buyers experience are very comparable throughout Cyprus. The British High Commission is unable to get involved in specific property issues or legal conflicts, but supports neighborhood associations that are devoted to dealing with the problems of property purchasers.
Cyprus property buyers.
Cyprus Property Action Group concentrates on lobbying in Cyprus, the UK and in the European Parliament for changes to legislation and enforcement of legislation concerning property purchases in The Republic of Cyprus.
Association of International Property Professionals (AIPP).
If the company, or legal advisor, you have actually dealt with is a member of AIPP and you are dissatisfied with the services offered, you can write to the AIPP who have a disciplinary treatment.
Legal advice.
British residents affected by property issues need to take independent legal advice from local lawyers.
Local cops.
If you believe that you have gone through a property criminal activity, you need to make a declaration to the local police. Keep in mind to get a copy of the statement and ask for the occurrence number. Please note, there might be a time constraint in between the time of the supposed criminal offense and the time within which you make your problem.
Cyprus Ombudsman (likewise called Commissioner of Administration and Protection of Human Rights).
The Cyprus Ombudsman acts in the service of citizens, including foreign nationals, in order to defend their rights and freedom versus actions from any Cypriot administration. The Ombudsman has the power to challenge all bodies (subject to some restrictions) and authorities of the main federal government and local administrations as well as anybody functioning as representatives or partners of any of these administrations in the fulfilment or execution of public objectives or services. Contact information are on their site.
It is essential to note that the Ombudsman may not step in under the following scenarios:.
whenever the general public administration has actually not been involved.
in the event of disputes or disputes in between individuals.
When the resident had understanding of the occasions of his problem, after one year from the minute.
in case of anonymous problems, without particular claims presenting bad faith or any claims that may damage legitimate rights of third parties.
in the event of non-conformity with the contents of the judicial ruling.

Adam Lanza's Musings Released
Post by Turdacious » Thu Oct 25, 2018 9:47 pm
The Hartford Courant and other media organizations requested to view Lanza's belongings, which were seized by authorities during a search of Lanza's home and described in a state police report released about a year after the shooting. State police rejected the requests, citing privacy rights in the state's search and seizure law.
The Courant appealed to the state Freedom of Information Commission, which in 2015 ordered state police to release the documents. But Superior Court Judge Carl Schuman overruled the commission in 2016 — a decision overturned Tuesday in the 5-0 Supreme Court ruling.
"We feel these documents are necessary to tell a complete story in our reporting," said Andrew Julien, publisher and editor-in-chief of the Courant. "Understanding what a mass killer was thinking not only paints a clearer picture of the individual, it helps us identify and understand red flags that could be part of a prevention formula for future mass shootings."
It's not immediately clear when the 35 requested items will be released. The state attorney general's office, which represents state police and declined to comment Tuesday, could ask the Supreme Court to reconsider its ruling or possibly appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court. State police officials did not return messages seeking comment.
Among the disputed documents are a spreadsheet ranking mass murders by name and number killed and a notebook titled "The Big Book of Granny." The notebook contains a story that Lanza wrote in the fifth grade about a woman who uses her "rifle cane" to kill people.

What's more important: preventing likely encouragement to other pathetic psychos or the public's right to know? Discuss.
Re: Adam Lanza's Musings Released
Information is always, or almost always, better in the brutal daylight of the public sphere. The Man made the same argument about some of Ted Kaczynski's writings, that it would inspire copy cats, etc. It hasn't, and his writings are fascinating and borderline prophetic.
Lanza was a failure in life and his writings should be available to others because they, better than almost anything else, will make plain his failure and self-delusion.

If it were possible to forever blot out the names & killscores of mass killers, I might be for it. But it's not.

Post by Turdacious » Fri Oct 26, 2018 4:16 am
Is that a really fair comparison though? Kaczinski was a self sufficient, well educated genius; Lanza lived with his mother and was a college dropout. Potential Kaczinski's are far rarer than potential Lanza's.

A: Take a look into the file cherrypy files tutorial, but to provide you with a concrete answer, your generate method has to use the file attribute of the file1 parameter.
For example, this method would work:
@cherrypy.expose
def generate(self, length, file1):
    some_string = "harsh" + length
    cherrypy.session['mystring'] = some_string
    file_content = file1.file.read()
    return file_content

You can also operate on the file attribute to get more information, it's an instance of a python TemporaryFile.


With opening lyrics 'Come on baby let's fly tonight' and a vibe reminiscent of a holiday airline Theme Park still manage to create some of the sexiest music I've heard to date. When I was first introduced to the band back in May '11 I was pleasantly surprised by their fresh approach and tropical sound and it has been great to watch them cultivate this signature aesthetic over time. Tonight is the third single taken from their hotly anticipated debut due out February 25th 2013. Check out their brand new video below and download the single here.

Learn how to negotiate your first term sheet at TechCrunch Disrupt – TechCrunch
Most new founders have never seen what they covet most — a term sheet stipulating the conditions under which an investor will make a financial commitment in their startup. Unlike investors, who are far more familiar with term sheets, inexperienced founders often have a hard time understanding how to structure the document so that it provides meaningful value to investors without giving away everything they worked so hard to build.
Getting your first term sheet right is critical for ensuring the financial and capital success of your business, because the terms you agree to early on in your startup tend to carry through for the life of the company.
It's such an important topic that we've enlisted a trio of world-class experts — Mandela SH Dixon (CEO, All Raise), Kevin Liu (director, Techstars Investments) and James Norman (CEO, Pilotly/general partner, Black Ops) — to break it down for you during a panel discussion at TechCrunch Disrupt on October 18–20 in San Francisco.
Understanding a term sheet is a daunting task, and you can't afford to assume anything about the language, because nothing is standard. It's nuanced, and it can impact the structure of future investing rounds, who sits on your board and what happens if the company is liquidated.
We'll have questions, and these experienced investors and serial entrepreneurs will provide the answers. They'll dig into essentials such as investment amount, valuation, option pool and liquidation preference — the four main pillars of a term sheet's structure.
Learn more about the experts who will dispense real-world insights that you can use to craft and negotiate term sheets like a pro.
Mandela SH Dixon is the CEO of All Raise, a nonprofit on a mission to accelerate the success of female and nonbinary investors, founders and operators in tech. All Raise programs equip women and nonbinary leaders with opportunities to advance their professional growth and work together to create a more equitable future.
At age 25, Dixon dropped out of a PhD program to start her first company and became one of the first Black women to raise venture capital from Silicon Valley investors.
Prior to joining All Raise, Dixon was the founder and CEO of Founder Gym, the number-one training program teaching underrepresented founders how to raise venture capital. She leveraged her powerful network to recruit some of the best investors and funded founders in the world to teach underrepresented entrepreneurs how to raise capital to scale their tech startups.
Dixon also served as the founding portfolio services director at Kapor Capital and managed a portfolio of more than 120 tech startups, including Uber and Twilio. There, she co-launched the Founders Commitment — the first diversity and inclusion pledge upheld by a VC firm — and co-designed 10 workshops teaching startups how to bake diversity and inclusion into the DNA of their companies.
As the global director of Startup Weekend Education (acquired by Techstars), Dixon scaled its reach from two to six continents in less than 2 years and transformed it into the largest community of edtech entrepreneurs in the world.
Dixon is an active angel investor, limited partner, Sequoia Capital Scout and an inaugural member of First Round Capital's Angel Track, a program composed of angel investors from the most successful tech companies.
Kevin Liu is a director at Techstars Investments, where he works with companies across Techstars' portfolio on deal evaluation, fundraising and value creation initiatives. Prior to joining Techstars, Liu led data science and analytics at Mattermark (sold to FullContact), a data analytics company focused on structuring business information.
An early investor in Culture Biosciences, Retool, Seldo and Bottomless, Liu specializes in product management, data strategy and B2B software companies. He also mentors at Google Launchpad and First Round Capital.
At age 16, James Norman built his first company — an aftermarket automotive e-commerce site called MJH Sound.com. A serial entrepreneur known as a visionary in automotive product-planning, Norman has spent the past 7 years in the media and entertainment industry and has become a thought leader in over-the-top media and consumer video consumption behaviors.
His latest venture, a consumer insights platform called Pilotly, enables content creators to get feedback from audiences at scale. Norman also serves as general partner at Black Operator Ventures (Black Ops). Founded in 2020, it's the first venture capital fund managed and led by an all-Black team of founders.
Black Ops invests in resilient founders who have a unique perspective on their market and possess the conviction to win their space. Managed by partners with operator experience, vast networks and the skills necessary to help scale companies, the fund provides more than just capital. Black Ops provides Black founders with a roadmap to success and aims to create the most billion-dollar-valued companies ever founded by Black people.

No team better demonstrates the evolution of college football across the last decade than Alabama. Compare the Tide awaiting Notre Dame on New Year's Day in the Thorn Bowl to the rendition the Irish faced in 2012 and the explosive shift in the sport is obvious on both sides of the ball. Alabama is a high-octane machine these days, rather than the bulldozer of eight years ago, and it allows opponents to operate more efficiently, as well.
"It's the proliferation of talent on offense, certainly at the wide receiver positions, running back," head coach Brian Kelly said of the Tide's changes in the last eight years. "I would say certainly they are probably where they are and continue to evolve at the offensive line. I think their No. 2 and No. 3 running backs are as good as anybody in the country.
"From that standpoint, I would probably point toward great quarterback play — not good quarterback play but great quarterback play — and then the skill players, in particular the wide receivers that have really elevated the explosiveness of these Alabama offenses."
No offense intended to AJ McCarron, but no one was describing his play as "great" back in 2012, even if his 30 touchdowns to three interceptions warranted more praise than he received at the time. While the Tide scored 38.7 points per game, it gained more yards on the ground than through the air. That was a physical approach rather than a speedy one.
That has changed.
Meanwhile, Notre Dame has become a more-realized version of itself. When Kelly saw Alabama in the BCS title game, he knew he needed to develop a more physical roster, and he very much has, but that did not necessarily adjust for the top-end shift in the sport.
"It's a deeper roster, more physical on both sides of the ball," Kelly said Sunday. "There were certainly some very talented players on that 2012 roster … but I think overall, the depth of this roster, the ability to make plays on both sides of the ball, and quite frankly, just the size and physicality on both the offensive and defensive line is probably the biggest departure from 2012."
Looking at Alabama first …
Not all of the Tide's offensive stats suggest a more explosive offense, simply because it has de-emphasized the run as much as it has. While Najee Harris may be a Heisman finalist, and deservedly so, Eddie Lacey and T.Y. Yeldon were a one-two punch in Alabama's backfield that no team was equipped to even consider slowing.
But otherwise, the Tide are more explosive across the board, scoring 11 points more per game and gaining nearly a full yard more per play than in 2012.
Alabama 2012 2020
Yards per rush 5.59 5.04
Rushing yards/game 227.5 189.8
Passing yards/game 218.0 354.1
Yards per pass attempt 9.3 11.1
Yards per play 6.95 7.83
The Tide faced 0.5 fewer third downs per game this season than in 2012, despite running 5.4 more plays per game. Why? It is that much more explosive, gaining 30 percent more first downs this season (28.1 compared to 21.6).
"We've probably changed as the game has changed, playing a little different style on offense," Alabama head coach Nick Saban said Sunday. "We were more run the ball, play-action pass, NFL-type offense back in the 2012 days than we are right now."
It has also cost the Tide on defense, though that is arguably a further reflection of the evolution of the game as opponents prioritize explosiveness and speed in 2020, as well. It remains one of the best defenses in the country, but compared to 2012's, this version of Alabama pales. It is a matter of different eras, not a dropoff.
Alabama defense 2012 2020
Rushing yards/game 76.4 107.6
Yards per pass attempt 6.1 6.8
And again looking at the ratio of third downs to first downs, 2020 Alabama simply allows more explosiveness. Eight years ago, nearly every first down gained against the Tide necessitated a third down.
2012: 13.7 first downs allowed per game, 13.6 third downs forced.
2020 19.6 first downs allowed per game, 15.5 third downs forced.
Meanwhile, Notre Dame doubled down on what made it successful. To an extent, the Irish of 2020 look more like Alabama of 2012 than anything else.
To be clear, that is not a criticism. Notre Dame is 43-7 across the last four seasons, is one of only five teams to reach multiple Playoffs and has won at least 10 games in four straight years.
Notre Dame 2012 2020
Yards per pass attempt 7.46 8.17
The Irish are slightly more explosive now, increasing their first downs per game by 12.5 percent while keeping third downs essentially constant, but that uptick is hardly on par with the game's shift.
Genuinely, compare the 2012 Alabama offense against Notre Dame's in 2020. Rushing yards per game and passing yards per game within shouting range of a 50/50 split, fewer than 10 yards per pass attempt, more than five yards per rush, six-some yards per play.
Neither looks anything like the 2020 Tide, with nearly twice as many passing yards per game as rushing, with 11.1 yards per pass attempt, with barely five yards per rush, with nearly eight yards per play.
Facing that "buzzsaw" of an offense, the Irish will rely on a defense that may be better than 2012's, particularly when considering the seismic shift in opposing offenses.
Notre Dame defense 2012 2020
Yards per pass attempt 5.98 6.9
There is little reason to think Clark Lea's defense will be able to shut down Alabama's three Heisman candidates, but it will have a better chance than the last Irish unit to face the Tide would have, especially as the first down against third down ratio has remained rather constant across these two sample sets for Notre Dame's defense (17.1-13.7 :: 16.8-13.0).
When Brian Kelly saw what Alabama did to the Irish in 2012, he vowed to become more like them. Now with a more experienced improviser at quarterback, with bigger and better offensive and defensive lines, Kelly succeeded in finding those answers.
But in the past eight years, Nick Saban and the Tide have changed the questions.

Technology has revolutionized the way companies conduct business by enabling small businesses to level the playing field with larger organizations. Small businesses use an array of tech – everything from servers to mobile devices – to develop competitive advantages in the economic marketplace. Small business owners should consider implementing technology in their planning process for streamlined integration and to make room for future expansion. This allows owners to create operations using the most effective technology available.
Small business owners can use technology to reduce business costs. Basic enterprise software enables a firm to automate back office functions, such as record keeping, accounting and payroll. Mobile tech allows home offices and field reps to interact in real time. For example, field reps can use mobile apps to record their daily expenses as they incur them and have them sync automatically with accounting software back at the office.
Business owners can also use technology to create secure environments for maintaining sensitive business or consumer information. Many types of business technology or software programs are user-friendly and allow business owners with only minor backgrounds in information technology to make the most of their tools and features.
Business technology helps small businesses improve their communication processes. Emails, texting, websites and apps, for example, facilitate improved communication with consumers. Using several types of information technology communication methods enable companies to saturate the economic market with their message. Companies may also receive more consumer feedback through these electronic communication methods.
Technology also improves inter-office communication as well. For example, social intranet software gives employees a centralizes portal to access and update internal documents and contracts and relay relevant data to other departments instantly. These methods also help companies reach consumers through mobile devices in a real-time format.
Small businesses can increase their employees' productivity through the use of technology. Computer programs and business software usually allow employees to process more information than manual methods. Business owners can also implement business technology to reduce the amount of human labor in business functions. This allows small businesses to avoid paying labor costs along with employee benefits.
Even fundamental business tech can have a major impact on employee performance. For example, by placing employee-performance appraisal information in an online framework, supervisors can easily create measurable goals for their employees to reach and sustain company objectives. Business owners may also choose to expand operations using technology rather than employees if the technology will provide better production output.
Technology allows small businesses to reach new economic markets. Rather than just selling consumer goods or services in the local market, small businesses can reach regional, national and international markets. Retail websites are the most common way small businesses sell products in several different economic markets.
Websites represent a low-cost option that consumers can access 24/7 when needing to purchase goods or services. Small business owners can also use internet advertising to reach new markets and customers through carefully placed web banners or ads.
Business technology allows companies to outsource business functions to other businesses in the national and international business environment. Outsourcing can help companies lower costs and focus on completing the business function they do best. Technical support and customer service are two common function companies outsource.
Small business owners may consider outsourcing some operations if they do not have the proper facilities or available manpower. Outsourcing technology also allows businesses to outsource function to the least expensive areas possible, including foreign countries.

Promethean Acquires Digital Whiteboard App Explain Everything
Social Networking | News
Google+ Integrates with Apps, Adds New Features
Google has launched Google+ for Google Apps and continues to add new features to the social networking platform. Previously, Google+ accounts could only be activated with a Gmail address.
With the launch, nearly two-dozen Google Apps for Education universities have enabled Google+ for their students, faculty, and staff. One of those schools is Wake Forest University.
"The way we do technology at Wake makes it easy for collaboration to go viral," said Rick Matthews, chief information officer and associate provost for information systems and technology at Wake Forest. "Google+ with its robust search feature really makes it easy to find other Deacons who have the same interests, needs and passions. Imagine all the connections our campus will be making."
"I can imagine holding virtual office hours," said Fred Salsbury, associate professor of physics at Wake Forest. "I can monitor my Google+ stream or even have a Google+ hangout at specific times. With one of my classes being held with students in multiple locations on multiple campuses, daytime office hours can be limiting, so a virtual meeting one evening might make collaborating with students more convenient."
Hangouts is a Google+ feature that allow users to video conference with up to nine other users and the stream is where users see posts shared with them by the people in their circles.
Other uses for Google+ suggested by Wake Forest students, faculty, and staff include:
Bring speakers to class via hangouts;
Share information with students through a class circle instead of using handouts;
Increase class engagement by encouraging students to comment on material shared in class circles;
Create shared circles of sources and experts for a class to follow;
Create an alumni circle for networking or career development; and
Use hangouts to meet with a study group.
According to a post on the Official Google Enterprise Blog, the company is working on a migration tool to allow users who started using the service with a personal account to move their information, such as circles, to an Apps account. The post says that the tool will likely be available within a few weeks.
Along with Apps integration, Google also rolled out three new features, what's hot, ripples, and creative kit, for Google+.
What's hot, accessible at the end of new posts in a user's stream or in their list of circles, allows users to see posts about topics trending on the network. Ripples gives users the ability to see how posts spread publicly throughout the network. Creative kit is a tool for editing images uploaded to Google+
More information about Google+ for higher education is available at google.com.


The recent shooting at Stoneman Douglas High School may finally be the catalyst for change for gun reform in this country. But, at what cost? Donald Trump has been floating around the idea of arming teachers in schools. I say floating because as we know from previous experience, Trump may later say he never said that. It seems like he may be moving forward with this because he later added that armed teachers would receive bonus pay. Really?!?!
Today, I'm not going to debate whether our teachers should be armed. Instead, I want you to consider that bonus pay remark. How is it that you can suddenly find bonus pay for a teacher to carry a gun in the schools, but you can't find some bonus pay to reimburse teachers for all the school supplies that they have to buy throughout the year? The pencils, the crayons, the paper, the tissues, hand sanitizer, books, and the list goes on. Do you really think that little $250 line-item deduction on the tax return is equivalent to the amount that teachers that truly spend?
If we can find bonus pay for our armed teachers, then I think we can find bonus pay for all of our schools. Let's put more money to put into our schools so that we have smaller class sizes. Let's go back to the days when there were multiple guidance counselors in one school. I believe we can find the funding so that one guidance counselor is not being shared for an entire school district. We need to have advocates that focus on our children's social, emotional, and mental health. Let's continually fund on bullying and cyberbullying programming. Let's more money in Individualized Education Programs (IEPs) for our students that need some additional help instead of letting them fall behind. Let's put money back into arts education, home economics, and shop. If we can find bonus pay for armed teachers, then please stop taking away everything else from our schools, our teachers, and most importantly, our students.
You bring up a very valid point that has not been addressed. If you have the ability or funds for armed teachers, surely there should funds available to these teachers for all the sacrifices they have to make. I stand in solidarity with the W. Virginia teachers, as dispassionate as it may seem on their parts…they are doing the absolute right thing. The government needs to redirect its priorities.
Definitely! I was watching the news last night, and it seems like the parents and grandparents stand with them, even if it's inconvenient. They're salaries went down with their deductions, and they already have one of the lowest salaries in the nation. We have to treat our teachers better.

China Power Supply Crunch Hits Toyota Operations: Energy Update
(Bloomberg) — The world's second-biggest economy is caught in the grips of a widening power crisis that's threatening to stymie growth and further tangle already snarled global supply chains.
At least 20 Chinese provinces and regions making up more than 66% of the country's gross domestic product have announced some form of power cuts, mostly targeted at heavy industrial users. The reasons are two-fold — record high coal prices are causing power generators to trim output despite soaring demand, while some areas have pro-actively halted electricity flows to meet emissions and energy intensity goals.
The global energy surge also continues beyond China, with prices of natural gas to carbon permits in Europe hitting records.
Here are the latest updates as China tries to bring back power to the people (All times Beijing):
Toyota's China Operations Impacted by Power Shortage (6:35 p.m.)
Toyota Motor Corp.'s operations in China are being impacted by the nation's power shortage, spokeswoman Shiori Hashimoto said in an emailed statement Tuesday, without giving further details. Toyota is not providing a future outlook at this time as the situation is "still in flux," she said.
The world's No. 1 automaker has full-scale automobile production capabilities in China, including local joint-venture manufacturing companies and distributors, according to its website. Its plants are centered around Tianjin and Shanghai. Toyota produces more than a million vehicles a year in the country.
Electricity Price Hike Eyed for Ailing Generators (3 p.m.)
Chinese power generators suffering losses from high coal costs believe they may get some relief in the form of small increases in the price of power they sell, Morgan Stanley analysts including Simon Lee said in a research note.
The analysts spoke to five power generating companies on Monday. They said the biggest reason behind the country's electricity shortages is that 60%-70% of coal power plants are reporting losses because of high spot prices, and miners not meeting long-term supply contracts. Some plants are trying to minimize generation or even schedule maintenance to avoid losses.
There's a possibility the government could raise power prices like it did in a similar situation in 2008, but it won't be enough for power plants to fully pass through the increased costs, the companies told the bank.
Guangdong Curtailing as Much as 11% of Peak Power Demand (1 p.m.)
Guangdong province, the southern industrial hub with an economy larger than Australia's, has been curtailing as much as 15 gigawatts of power, the Economic Information Daily reported.
The province's peak demand has reached 141 gigawatts, up 11% from last year and nearly equivalent to the entire installed capacity of France. Still, the curtailments in the province aren't as heavy as they were during the summer, when as much as 21 gigawatts were shaved off.
Guangdong officials said in a notice this week they had staggered power consumption among large industrial users, and asked offices to stop using elevators for the first three floors and residents to keep their air-conditioners above 26 degrees Celsius in order to help conserve power.
Stainless Steel and Ceramics Hub Latest to Be Hit by Curbs (11:30 am.)
The Chinese province of Fujian, a major stainless steel and ceramics-making hub with an economy bigger than Malaysia and Singapore combined, is the latest region to face electricity cuts, bringing the total number of areas affected to at least 20.
Fujian will ration power from September 28 to 30, and again from October 4 to 16, according to people familiar with the matter. The region houses key steel plants, including those operated by Tsingshan Holding Group, the world's largest nickel producer.
Semiconductor Sector Hit by Jiangsu Power Curbs (11 a.m.)
Power curbs in the Jiangsu province city of Kunshan may cause further tightness in the supply of materials used in semiconductor packaging, Citigroup Inc.'s analyst Roland Shu wrote in a note.
Case in point: a spokesperson for ASE Technology Holding Co. said its plant in the city will see no production at its Kunshan plant from Sept. 27 to Sept. 30 due to restrictions on power usage. The company provides semiconductor testing and packaging services and gets about 29% revenue from Apple, according to Bloomberg data.
The power cuts will have limited impact on ASE as it is making arrangements to ship products earlier than originally scheduled, the spokesperson added. The company's shares fell as much as 3.5% on Tuesday after closing 1.7% lower on Monday.
China Seeks More Natural Gas Ahead of Winter (10:01 a.m.)
Chinese utilities are accelerating efforts to secure liquefied natural gas supplies in preparation for winter.
Shenzhen Energy Group Co. is seeking two cargoes for delivery in November and December, according to traders with knowledge of the matter. Several other Chinese importers have jumped into the spot market to secure supplies of the industrial and home-heating fuel.
Asian LNG prices have surged to a seasonal record as the region's importers compete with European rivals for finite supplies. Sinopec purchased more than a dozen shipments last week for winter delivery, which may have triggered panic buying from other Chinese importers as they scramble to secure supply before spot rates rise further.
Province Suffering Blackouts Aims to Boost Coal Imports (9 a.m.)
China's Jilin province, which suffered blackouts over the weekend, said it will seek more coal import quotas and try to boost shipments from Russia, Indonesia and Mongolia.
The local government of the northeastern province said coal miners must produce at full capacity, while financial institutions will offer reduced interest loans to power plants in order to ensure supplies of the fuel for power and heating this winter.
Fertilizer Maker Fined for Raising Prices Amid Energy Crunch (8:30 a.m.)
As an energy crunch bites, Beijing is increasing scrutiny of the fertilizer market, where many domestic producers use coal as a feedstock. The top economic planner said fertilizers are important for maintaining food security and that efforts must be made to ensure stable prices and supply. In a sign of the clampdown, Chinese state-owned fertilizer maker Qinghai Salt Lake Industry Co. was fined 1.6 million yuan ($250,000) for hiking prices.
Chinese Media Say Steps Being Taken to Cool Market (7:22 a.m.)
China may adopt measures to try to cool sky-high coal prices and ease the power shortage, according to reports from local media.
The Economic Information Daily reported that authorities are taking measures to ensure power production and avoid cuts, with experts calling for incentives to make generators produce electricity. The Global Times reported that China may adopt unidentified actions to cool off coal prices.
Power-plant coal futures in China jumped to a record yesterday. Most Chinese power plants sell electricity at regulated rates, leading to some generators deciding to cut output instead of producing power at a loss amid the soaring coal prices.
Goldman Cuts China's GDP Forecast Amid Shortages (6:52 a.m.)
Goldman Sachs Group Inc. economists lowered their forecast economic growth for China this year because of recent sharp cuts to production in a range of high-energy-intensity industries.
The bank cut its forecast for 2021 economic growth to 7.8% from 8.2% and for 2022 to 5.5%. The bank joined Nomura Holdings Inc., China International Capital Corp. and Morgan Stanley in either downgraded GDP growth forecasts or warning of lower growth because of the power disruptions.


Firstly, we celebrated a May festival in the nursery. Chidlren helped to prepare and paint a maypole and they learned a new song. Then, on the day of the celebration, the maypole was errected, the children garnished gingerbread hearts, made a picnic in the garden and played.
We made also a trip to the zoo in Munich. We only dressed lightly because of the warm weather and our memories of concrete surfaces without any shade in another zoo and we set off in the morning. We travelled with S-Bahn and U-Bahn, what Dominik has been very enthusiastic about. This zoo was really a very beautiful park full of trees, where we had to look for sunny places to get warm, with integrated enclosures for animals. Dominik could not stop watching the sharks in a big aquarium and they both looked excitedly at the ice bear. Finally, they stroke the goats and we bought a large picture book in which the entire park is shown.
Additionally, we were riding the little trains in Aßling (this time also Olivia and Dominik only), kids were riding on the pony and cycling and scootering as much as they could.


A trained glazier has the skills required to carry out all types of window repairs – not just double glazing repairs, but also work on triple-glazed and misted units. Below, we provide some details on the most common types of glass found at Maidstone properties and also explain how condensation causes misting. Our work on misted units helps home and business owners in the South East so save money on full-scale replacement costs.
If you require window repairs in Maidstone, contact our glaziers on 01689 833890.
Double-glazed windows are very popular with home and property owners in Maidstone. Featuring two sheets of glass with an insulating gap between them, double glazing traps heat and also reduces the amount of unwanted noise entering properties from the outside. While these units have excellent durability, our glaziers often receive calls to conduct double glazing repairs on misted units – a speciality service in the world of window repairs.
Misted units result from a build-up of condensation inside the gap between glass panes. Seals on the unit damage or deteriorate over time. While double glazing frequently lasts for over 20 years without the need for window repairs, our glaziers sometime encounter substandard installations in Maidstone which result in misted units in a matter of months.
This is why you should always be sure to have windows fitted by qualified and reputable tradesmen, and to have double glazing repairs performed by M&M Glazing Services.
With an extra layer of insulation, triple-glazed units are widely used in countries where temperatures drop to extreme lows. Today, it is a more common and popular option in Maidstone and the wider UK area due to homeowners and companies being that little bit more conscious about the environment and the potential energy savings to be made.
Properly installed, triple glazing insulates a home or business in a more efficient manner than double glazing. If you want to upgrade the glass in a unit, we can supply a glazier to perform the installation. Our company is about so much more than double glazing repairs, and provides a flexible service range across all parts of the local Maidstone area.
We even repair misted units fitted with triple glazing and fit doors with cat flaps!
This form of glass is manufactured with a number of additional safety features which make it less likely to break, and less likely to cause harm if it does. Laminated glass is one of the most common types of safety glass, while wired, toughened and tempered glass are also widely employed – particularly at business properties with assets and staff to protect.
If you require safety glass window repairs in or around the Maidstone area, give our glaziers a call. We're respond to emergency callouts on a genuine 24/7 basis.
Acid etching, also known as French embossing, sees glass adorned with decorative designs. It is a process that affords multiple degrees of transparency and allows for different volumes of light to diffuse into room space. Many homeowners around Maidstone invest into acid etched glass and naturally feel heartbroken when damage occurs to an installation.
Our glaziers offer affordable window repairs for acid etched glass.
Do you need a glazier for window repairs or work on misted units in Maidstone? Call our glaziers on 01689 833890.

#148: Getting In The Mud aka Carrying The Water 3.0
This is a podcast episode titled, #148: Getting In The Mud aka Carrying The Water 3.0. The summary for this episode is: Data can only get you so far. On this episode of Seeking Wisdom, DC and DG are talking about the limitations of data, and why the most important thing you can do to scale your business is to get in the mud. Because getting in the mud means getting closer to your customers. It means getting your hands dirty and talking to them openly about their pain points. That's where you'll find all the answers you're looking for.
Andy: All right.
DC: You hear that?
Andy: Before the copyright Gods get us out of here.
DC: I got the black Timbs.
Andy: Yeah, you do. crosstalk. Got to get you a black hoodie.
DC: He doesn't know I was you miss people. You miss what? I was telling the guns and DG how are you still rolling to the club? 30 deep. They don't know about this stuff.
Andy: 30 deep, DC?
DC: That was some New York stuff.
Andy: Yeah.
DC: There we go.
Andy: Oh, no. That's was Staten island. Staten Island's too real-
DC: Too real.
Andy: Too real.
DC: No. I was in Queens.
Andy: Too real. All right. What's up, everybody? Today, on Seeking Wisdom, DC and I are going to talk about getting in the mud and doing the work, aka carry the water. Plus, I wanted to just-
DC: crosstalk Carry the Water 3.0?
Andy: Carry the Water, 3. 0. That's a hot name. Plus, I want to do a recap from Traffic& Conversion Summit. I want to talk about something that we're doing next week. I want my favorite DC quote of the week and I want to revisit one of the most classic business books of all time. We're getting a little tighter on this show because-
DC: I was just going to say, people, if you're a sub, which you should, because G2 is desperate for the subs and he needs them for life, their love and life. He needs love. crosstalk This is episode 148-
Andy: 148.
DC: I want you to write this down. This is the first time in 147 episodes where I have had notes in my hand.
Andy: It's fact. It's fact. But look-
DC: I haven't read them though.
Andy: ...let's not stray from what the show is. I don't expect you to prep. My job is to prepare.
DC: Mission accomplished.
Andy: Then, you're the talent. My job is to get stuff out of you.
DC: Right. Let's do this.
Andy: That's what this is. So let's talk about this email that you sent to the team the other night, and we'll talk about your newsletter and how to get there and all that stuff-
DC: drift.com/ dc?
Andy: Oh, that's pretty good.
Andy: Is that a good URL? That's a good URL. drift.com/ dc.
DC: It's simple.
Andy: SEO people don't like those URLs, but I like those URLs a lot.
DC: It's for people in the know crosstalk.
Andy: It's for humans.
DC: It's for humans.
Andy: Exactly. So let's talk about getting in the mud. You said you sent an email to the team, by the way, double- sided. I print double- sided because I'm long on the environment, Andy's planet.
DC: Okay. Andy's planet.
Andy: DC, let's talk about getting in the mud. One of the things keeping me up at night is that as we appear to be defaulting to management by data metrics process only, okay, I love data, but it's like driving a car using only the rear view mirror. It tells you what happened, not what is going to happen. This tendency is also referred to as managing by proxy. crosstalk So I love this one so much-
DC: You do?
Andy: ...because this it's the ultimate both, right? It's the ultimate example of both, because if you've been listening to the show or maybe you're at Drift and you get these emails and you've been talking a lot about systems and data and measuring and process. Did you get people respond to this? Do people respond to these emails or crosstalk
DC: They respond to the emails, I'll have you know, or have, but what I will also have you know is this email right here that we're talking about here, was the most responded to email ever as people's favorites.
Andy: Really?
DC: Uh- huh( affirmative). You didn't know that. crosstalk. I was going to tell you that-
Andy: So we got to double click. How would I know that?
DC: Mm-hmm(affirmative).
Andy: It goes to your inbox and what did they say?" Good email, DC?"
DC: A lot of people were fired up. They said this one was the most practical for them. They knew how to apply this one and they kind of echoed some of the same worries and making sure that we stay focused on what matters.
Andy: So, okay. You have this quote from Howard Schultz," Success will only come to those willing to get their hands dirty." That goes back to a lot of things that you have. So last night, I was at Harvard Business School. Excuse me. There's a mug on my desk, actually.
Andy: Third time I've been there in a month- and- a- half. I didn't go there though.
DC: Oh, really?
Andy: That's weird.
DC: You weren't allowed crosstalk
Andy: I always show this tweet. So I've given the same presentation now for years. I make it better every time, but always show this-
DC: Are you a guest lecturer or something?
Andy: I'm a guest lecturer.
Andy: Yeah. I'm a guest lecturer, a guest lecturer in a hoodie. I always show this tweet from you. It's a tweet from 2016 and it's talking about doing the things that don't scale and hand- to- hand combat and doing all the hand- to- hand. We always been saying that since the beginning crosstalk hand-in-hand and I always say," Look, I think everybody at startups knows you go to a business school class, or you go to any class, anything about management and you say," How many of you have read Paul Graham's essay about things that don't scale?" Everybody raises their hand crosstalk but nobody actually does it.
Andy: So what do you mean at this stage of our company, 300- ish people at Drift, give me an example crosstalk of getting in the mud.
DC: Before I do, DG has some talents and one of his hidden crosstalk talents that people don't know about is that he is a historian. He keeps track of everyone on everything, so I salute him because I say so many things that I forget, but he has them all written down in history.
Andy: Let me tell you something else. I have them all because I'm long on Drift, but there's this little hack with DC where he says something and you remember it, and then you bring it up a couple of weeks later, he'll be like," Man, that's a good idea." I'm like," Yeah, crosstalk because that was your idea."
DC: Never tell me that crosstalk Don't tell me that.
Andy: 75% of the success that I've had at Drift is because I spit back your own ideas to you.
DC: I'm like," Wow. That's amazing. I never thought of that. That's great." But let's get an example of here of getting in the mud.
Andy: Okay.
DC: So the reason I think this is important as companies scale, so it has a little bit to do with what stage we're in, but probably applies to everyone who's listening to this. They get to a point, let's say, at the companies that they're working with or working at and where people start to get comfortable measuring not wanting to get their hands dirty anymore, i. e., getting in the mud as Howard Schultz said. What they want to do is what we call it here and Bezos calls as well, the managing through proxy. So an example would be instead of going and talking to the customer and dealing with the pain that the customer may inflict on you because you're not doing X, Y, or Z, instead, it's better to manage using a Google spreadsheet and to manage on proxy events like," Did the salesperson make a phone call today? Did they send an email? Did the CSM send an email? Did they make an attempt? Is the customer onboarded? Yes? No?" Because those numbers don't yell back at you, so you don't get real feedback. As you do that, you keep distancing yourself away from what really matters and losing sight and trying to manage, as I say here, using the rear view mirror, which is data.
Andy: How do you want somebody to balance that because you say on one hand you do need to look at the data, but then the other hand you want to get in the mud. How do you balance having the data driven approach, but also like getting your hands dirty?
DC: My favorite quote on this comes from Steve Blank, godfather of lean-
Andy: The godfather of customer development crosstalk.
DC: Customer development, which led to lean startups and read his stuff. Steve Blank, Four Steps to the Epiphany, is his famous book. His quote was," The truth is always outside the building." The real answer, the truth that you seek is never inside the building. It's never in the spreadsheet. It's never in the data. It's always outside of the building and so the best thing you can do, whether you're a tiny little startup or a massive company, whether you're a product person or a marketing person or a salesperson, is to get to the closest, to the source of the truth, which is the customer. If you're in marketing often in marketing, you think that that's not applicable to you, but DG will tell you that's the best gems that you find and the real bonds that you build, back to hand- to- hand combat, are always out in the market with your market, with your customers, your fans, the people out there.
Andy: So much. I learned this lesson over and over and over again and you've helped me learn it. But so much of, I don't know, a homepage headline, a podcast topic, an idea for your video comes from what we call, this is not a scientific name, but another play for our playbook, is we call it'their words.'
DC: Yes. Their words.
Andy: Right? We always say," Use their words," their words, meaning not what somebody inside of Drift who's thinking about Drift 247 as a marketer is thinking about, but somebody off the street who's thinking about Drift maybe one out of every three days. How do they explain our product? That line of copies sold gold.
DC: Sold gold.
Andy: The other thing, though, is shout out to Steve Blank for that. I think V1 was get outside of the building, but I actually think that in 2019, there's so many ways that you can get outside of the building without actually having to do it.
DC: Yeah, for sure.
Andy: Right.? You can read comments on Amazon. God forbid you replied to every email that somebody sent your business, or comments on social media or Quora or Reddit. There's all these places where you can find what people are saying about your company, your industry without ever having to leave the building.
DC: That's why the ego is always the enemy, because so many people who I talked to who want to write a book, launch a podcast, sell a product, do whatever, especially if they're a consumer. You ask them a simple thing like," Have you read the reviews? Have you read the feedback on other people who have done that, let's say, on Amazon?" I'll give you an example. The answer is almost 100% of the time. I've actually never met anyone who has done it, who have never gone out and started with a research= based approach first and say," What are people saying right now? What are they saying they hate about this black hoodie? What did they say they love about it?" If I'm going to build a black hoodie, then I'd better go find out what people love and hate about this thing first, by getting that secondhand research and then going out and talking to customers myself and getting that firsthand research.
Andy: If there's an exec on your exec team here at Drift, as CEO. If somebody presents to you data, but then, they also have an insight based on three conversations had with customers over lunch. Is that a different layer to that problem that they're presenting to you?
DC: Definitely. For me, I've always found in that example, the insights from the customers, even though they're statistically not significant, right? Let's throw in that example, are always way more telling way more actionable and way more important to the business than whatever they can show me in the data.
Andy: Yes.
DC: Every single time, it never fails, but we never want to do it because it's uncomfortable because, like I said, spreadsheets don't question you. You can make up your own stories that you want based on the data that you're looking at, which is the thing I think many people discount, which they think data is the truth, but it's not the truth. It's because I can tell you any story with any data-
Andy: Sure. We spin it, right? I've been there. You're behind in a number, I'm going to spend this day's story into something that-
DC: This is what it means-
Andy: This is what it means.
DC: You should read Freakonomics. You should see some of the stuff in there and those are good examples. You can spin anything.
Andy: So there's a lot of good stuff in here, including a lesson from DC from Jeff Bezos. Go subscribe to the newsletter, drift.com/ dc to get it. But before we move on from this topic, how are you? You're doing something new, I've noticed. You're getting in the mud. You're getting back deep in the mud every Friday. Tell me about what you're doing.
DC: So every Friday, what I'm doing, I had to think there for a second crosstalk
Andy: You're like, what am I, which is a bad question. I can't ask you that you're doing a customer lunch. Tell me about the lunch.
DC: I'm back in hand-to- hand combat. Customer lunch is happening every week. They're usually on a Friday and so they'll happen in different cities.
Andy: You send either a video or audio. You sent audio from last week, you had one. It was like brrh.
DC: It was amazing. So from having lunch with, in this case, three to five customers at once was more telling, I learned more in that interaction than I had looking at all the data, having all the internal conversations that I'd had for that week, maybe even that month, in one conversation. So I'm doing those every week and I'm making that part of my weekly playbook where I have to spend at least one lunch out with customers and I'm doing that at different cities as I travel.
Andy: What did you learn? You don't have to share specifically, but did you learn something that we were talking about internally that then, you talked to customers outside and validated it without data?
DC: I actually learned some of that for sure, but more so I learned for what was really happening from the customer's viewpoint-
Andy: That doesn't show up.
DC: ...that doesn't show up and that we couldn't explain just by simply looking at the data. So there were some questions that we had internally in different groups that we were unsure what to make of the data. We had tried different approaches that, trying to fix it, trying to correct it, correct what we were seeing in the data and we didn't see any impact on that. But by having even one lunch with three customers, I knew what the root cause was, in their words.
Andy: So good. So here's what I want you to do. I want you to tweet @DCancel. Tweet at DC and tell him how you got in the mud this week, okay?# getinthemud. Let's see. I want to know how you've done something that doesn't scale, how you've gotten outside of the building, how you've gotten back in the mud. What else did I want to talk to you about? Okay. We had a little travel last week.
DC: Oh, yeah. DG's traveling like crazy.
Andy: I'm dead. I'm dead. So I was in San Diego last week.
DC: Yep.
Andy: Lovely place. I stayed in a company- friendly hotel. We're going to have to change that policy. It was tough.
DC: It was tough?
Andy: It was tough. It was tough to be away. You always say," Oh, is it nice? You don't have to wake up early. You don't have any kids." I'm like," Not in this hotel."
DC: In a different hotel?
Andy: Yeah. crosstalk.
DC: Where I stay is okay?
Andy: Where you stay is fine. I texted Jim. I said," You'd better change this travel policy," and he's been in some of those hotels with me.
DC: Oh, yeah?
Andy: So I was in San Diego.
DC: Did you have to sleep in the bathtub? crosstalk.
Andy: I didn't sleep in the bathtub, but crosstalk was this old hotel-
DC: Back in the day, when you would live in a crime- ridden neighborhood like South Central or New York, you knew where you're in a bad neighborhood where people would sleep in the bathtub because that would deflect the bullets in case the bullets came in. crosstalk. So you didn't have to sleep in the bathtub, so crosstalk.
Andy: It wasn't that bad. No. crosstalk No. No, and there was a smoothie place next door and I was totally fine. crosstalk The hotel, it was like a shared room. You walk into this entrance and whoever I was staying next to was in and out all night. It was just a disaster. Anyway, went to Traffic& Conversion Summit, shout out to our friends at Digital Marketer.
DC: What would I have done in that situation? I would have left.
Andy: I've been in this situation with you. You'd pull out your phone. You'd go to a hotel tonight crosstalk find a better hotel and you'd go there. I was like," I'm hungry. I'm tired. I'm not paying for this. I want to go to sleep." So San Diego was amazing. I did something new, which was try to sell books on stage for the first time.
DC: How did that go?
Andy: It was amazing. It was amazing and I learned so much. There's so many things that I got to make better, but I tried to actually sell something at the end of the presentation. The response was awesome. It was really cool to just get that feedback directly, but I learned a lesson as a marketer, which is like, I think so many times as marketing people, but the goal of marketing is to help the sales team sell sometimes, right?
DC: Mm-hmm(affirmative). Yep.
Andy: But I think marketers don't often sell and so, I had to feel the pressure of," I'm going to get out there. I'm going to make this offer and then holy shit, nothing's going to happen." So if I can't sell it, how is our sales team going to sell it?
DC: Not going to happen.
Andy: So we did that. That was a lot of fun and then, I'm going back to San Diego Sunday night. We got to go. We're going to go see our friends at Outreach. inaudible going to be there doing a bunch of videos.
DC: It's beautiful, San Diego, lovely Mexican food, good weather. Look outside. San Diego sounds good to me.
Andy: So if you're going to be at Outreach Unleash, hit me up.
Andy: We're doing something different. DC is in my head about do fun things at events, right? Do not do a badge scanner booth.
DC: If you happen to be in San Diego for this event, I will only say this: bring a camera.
Andy: Bring a camera.
DC: Bring a camera. When you see DG, there's going to be some interesting inaudible.
Andy: Bring your camera. We can talk about it. We're doing two workouts. We're doing a workout each morning of the event. It's going to be amazing and then from there, we're going to Demandbase ABM Summit in San Francisco.
DC: For sure. Well, we have some other plays going on in San Diego-
Andy: Oh-
DC: Yeah. Don't tell them about that-
Andy: ...Oh, that picture?
DC: Don't tell them about that.
Andy: Oh my God, I almost forgot.
DC: Oh, you almost forgot.
Andy: I won't tell them crosstalk.
DC: So don't tell them crosstalk
Andy: I won't I won't I won't. crosstalk
DC: All right. So see my homies. They're going to be in San Diego and San Francisco, but I want to talk to you about that I see right here.
Andy: What?
DC: Sometimes I worry, and I often say," I think we give too much." There's too much giving-
Andy: Do we?
DC: ...happening for the show.
DC: Here's an example.
DC: Maggie-
DC: ...The Truth Crowley.
Andy: Maggie has the best podcast.
DC: Yeah. She has the best podcast on the network. We're renaming the Seeking Wisdom Network to the Hypergrowth Podcast Network. Seeking Wisdom is just one show. So on the Hypergrowth Network, she has the best show. Let me give you a little example here. Episode 17, she had a conversation with Cathy Pearl from Google. You may have heard of Google on Conversation Design. Episode 18, she had one of my favorite episodes, on measuring product market fit. So it's especially relevant to people who have startups or thinking about starting a startup with my homie, the founder and CEO of superhuman, Raul. He also started, what was his last company?
Andy: Reportive.
DC: Reportive. I was an investor in both. I'm sorry, Raul. I forgot the name.
Andy: DC's got your back. Great product.
DC: Great product and then lastly, episode 19, amazing response.
Andy: I saw the most tweets about this episode-
DC: This episode had the most with our homie Matt Kaplan who used to run product at LogMeIn and now he runs product at Acquia and he did a whole thing on how product managers could use storytelling. What did you think of that one?
Andy: I didn't listen to it.
DC: Oh boy.
Andy: I haven't listened to it. I saw the tweets.
DC: It's amazing.
Andy: Maggie's awesome at what she does and I'm pumped about growing the network. The epiphany was, this is not the Seeking Wisdom Podcast Network. It is the Hypergrowth Podcast Network, because it goes beyond the show into events, into everything we do. I know you don't read my notes, so I'm not going to let you gloss over this before we go. We got about five minutes left. I caught you re- reading Crossing the Chasm.
DC: That's too much to tell the people.
Andy: Can you talk about that?
DC: So I'm back to re- read the greats.
Andy: I actually don't care. I don't care which book you're re- reading. I want to talk about I catch you rereading books all the time and I think it's super interesting. So you don't have to talk about why you're rereading the book, but talk about that habit and how it works.
DC: So, I often go back to, and this is one of the reading hacks, tricks, whatever you want to call it, or a habit. Let's call it a habit because that's better, a habit that I lean into, which is to often go revisit the greats. So the books that I've had been super meaningful and by the way, I have a new podcast coming out.
DC: First guest is my homie, Corey Thomas.
Andy: What did he say? Both/ and?
Speaker 3: And.
Andy: And?
DC: Yeah. Yeah. So he's the CEO of Rapid7, public company. One of the questions that I'm asking all my guests is this question," Which book have you re- read the most?"
Andy: Ooh, good one.
DC: Right? So back to this topic. He gave me a great answer, but what's interesting is you have to go back to the books that have had the most meaning to you and have stood the test of time because as you switch your context, as you grow, as you hit new situations, as you're in new areas in your life, you're going to pull different lessons out of those books. So I'm revisiting for probably the sixth time, Crossing the Chasm.
Andy: Love it.
DC: If you haven't read that that's MBA 101 right there, virtual MBA 101. It's about, basically, the stages that all products go through in the adoption curve on the market of going from people who are early adopters, all the way to the late majority and I'm pulling an entirely new set of lessons out of here, given the stage that I'm in right now and that we're in together at Drift.
Andy: I love that lesson because this is actually why I've shifted back probably in the last year to buy only physical books. If it's a classic, business book like that, I only buy physical books. I just caught myself, literally, I did this lesson last week one of the great books you put me on last year, two years ago was Jim Rowan's Seven Strategies for Wealth and Happiness. I was feeling like I was drowning in my schedule and I had too many things to do-
DC: That's the book to pick up.
Andy: ...and he has a great section about time management. So for the last two weeks, I don't know if you know this, but your boy has been on fire. What I've been doing is I've literally in this notebook that I have, which Annie now decorated.
DC: It looks nice crosstalk.
Andy: It looks nice. The night before I literally write down the time of the day that I'm going to get those things done, so now I can basically take-
DC: So that explains it? Everybody here, attention. Attention, everyone needs to get a copy of this book because the homie over here, the young nephew, I don't give him compliments much-
Andy: That's fine. It's fine-
DC: He's been on fire. crosstalk You said you were taking performance- enhancing drugs.
Andy: I am taking some. I'm taking athletic greens.
DC: Okay. That must be it.
Andy: Maybe you heard of it?
DC: Yeah. Yeah.
Andy: So this morning, I wrote: workout, 5: 30; post outreach promo at seven 30; add YouTube video at 9: 00; do the afterburner copy doc at 9: 30, do the podcast layout from 10 to 12 and have lunch, get a coffee. Then the rest of my day is doing Seeing Wisdom and two, three interviews.
DC: Listen to that.
Andy: So I've gotten all that stuff done. I tuned out everything else and that's been a game changer, but that was because I went back and revisited the Jim Rowan book, who said that if you don't manage your time, somebody else is going to manage it for you and that's been a huge thing the last two weeks.
DC: One thing that you made me think about when you said you were buying the physical copies of the books.
DC: One error that I see people make, which I used to make, is that they get so caught up on if there's a great book, like the Jim Rowan book, I get this question all the time," Which format should I get it in?"
Andy: I don't know.
DC: What? I don't know.
Andy: How do you learn?
DC: What do you mean? Here's what I do when I have a great book like Good to Great, I have a physical copy.
Andy: Totally.
DC: I have a Kindle copy. I was coming into work today and I had only my iPad with me, so I bought Good to Great the iBooks edition because it works well on the iPad. I probably have five copies of that book right now.
Andy: Great.
DC: No problem. No sweat.
Andy: Can you pick up right where you left off, and there's an awesome feature on the Kindle where if you're listening to it, it sinks where you crosstalk.
DC: Yeah. I have the audio version too, so maybe I have six copies of it. crosstalk My point here-
Andy: 11 bucks? 12 bucks?
DC: My point here is don't waste the precious cognitive load glycogen in your head.
Andy: So true.
DC: You only have so much each day. Do not waste it worrying about$ 10, okay?
Andy: Because that that same person is at the bar on a Friday night buying six Bud Lights.
DC: Six Bud Lights, no problem. Ripping them, ripping them, no problem; buying one for the team. Don't waste your time and energy on$ 10. Please don't waste my time and energy asking me which version you should get.
Andy: All right. We got to wrap. crosstalk Send us out of here. DC newsletter.
DC: DG's new show, The Swipe File, The Marketing Swipe File, coming out this Friday. Subscribe now-
Andy: Don't worry. I'm going to promote the hell out of it. Don't worry.
DC: What we want to do is we want to have it have six- star ratings even before it launches. crosstalk So leave some six- star ratings on there, but you know what to do. This is the world's first and only six- star rated podcast in the entire universe, crosstalk universe, not only on the planet or the entire universe, there's only one six- star podcast. It is this. Please help us launch into a new atmosphere, a new level. Leave some six star ratings. iTunes is about to get hip to this, so let's lean into this.
Andy: See you.
DC: See you.
Data can only get you so far. On this episode of Seeking Wisdom, DC and DG are talking about the limitations of data, and why the most important thing you can do to scale your business is to get in the mud. Because getting in the mud means getting closer to your customers. It means getting your hands dirty and talking to them openly about their pain points. That's where you'll find all the answers you're looking for.


The Vice-Chancellor, Professor Olusola Oyewole, has charged newly-admitted undergraduate students of the University to be diligent, focused, aspire for greatness and avoid wasting their time and resources on the social media or engaging in unprofitable ventures, in order to attain academic success. A total of 3,900 students were admitted into the University for the 2016/2017 Academic Session. Breakdown of the matriculated students spread across the 10 Colleges, viz: College of Agricultural Management and Rural Development (COLAMRUD – 366), College of Animal Science and Livestock Production (COLANIM – 523), College of Engineering (COLENG – 216), College of Environmental Resources Management (COLERM – 400), College of Food Science and Human Ecology (COLFHEC – 312), and College of Plant Science and Crop Production (COLPLANT – 481). Others are: College of Veterinary Medicine (COLVET – 41), College of Management Sciences (COLMAS – 747), College of Biological Sciences (COLBIOS – 329) and College of Physical Sciences (COLPHYS – 481).
Professor Oyewole, who is also the President, Association of African Universities (AAU), congratulated the students on their admission, noting that the Matriculation Ceremony was the fifth and the last he would preside over as the Vice-Chancellor. He appreciated both the academic and non-teaching staff, as well as other stakeholders in the University for their co-operation and support towards ensuring that students admitted into the various programmes in the University completed their academic programmes in record time. The Vice-Chancellor pointed out that the University had witnessed unprecedented growth and development in all ramifications, as espoused by its founding fathers, while assuring that the University would continue to strive within the limits of the resources at its disposal, to make the environment conducive for serious academic activities and cautioned that FUNAAB has zero tolerance for cultism and other social vices.
The Vice-Chancellor disclosed that FUNAAB remained one of the best universities in Nigeria. He noted that for quality assurance of its various courses, the National Universities Commission (NUC), accreditation teams visited all the academic programmes of the University and 96 per cent of the academic programmes were accredited while four per cent had interim accreditation. Professor Oyewole assured that the academic programmes with interim accreditation would be re-visited in May 2017, even as he charged the students to be disciplined, shun examination malpractices, fully utilise campus facilities for optimal academic success, be well-dressed, engage in responsible students' unionism and take good care of their health. He disclosed that the University was striving hard to accommodate all its students on campus, but due to financial constraints, had not been able to achieve its goal. Professor Oyewole, therefore, called for Public-Private Partnership initiative, to assist in constructing campus hostels since government alone cannot do it all. The University Registrar, Mr. Mathew Ayoola, administered the matriculation oaths on the students.
Meanwhile, the fifth Commencement Lecturer of the University and the Vice-Chancellor, Mountain Top University, Lagos, Professor Elijah Ayolabi has challenged the fresh students to see their admission into the University as an opportunity to learn, nurture, acquire knowledge and skills that would prepare them for national development. Delivering the Commencement Lecture titled; "University Education and National Development", which signalled the beginning of academic sojourn for the newly-admitted students, Professor Ayolabi pointed out that considering the present economic dilemma in the country, it was obvious that the nation was in need of young people, who were in their transitional stage of physical, psychological and spiritual development rebuilding and developing our nation.
On the importance of University education, Professor Ayolabi described the university as a citadel of learning, housing egg-heads and intellectuals scholars from whose fountain students can drink from, thereby resulting in transfer of knowledge. The Don, who stated that university education, would always guaranty knowledge, self-discovery, self-esteem and freedom, noted that where there is lack of knowledge, there would always be insecurity, corruption, poverty, hunger, disease, lack of development and economic growth.
Professor Ayolabi said that University education opens up the brains of students and enlarges their capacity to think and reason, adding that any student who successfully passed through the university education, can conveniently form opinions and develop ideas on issues not connected to what they had studied, simply because while going through their course of study in the university, they must have achieved mental alertness and sharpness of the mind.
Explaining how University education impacts on national development, Professor Ayolabi said that a nation develops according to the aggregate of the development of its citizens, hence, university education promotes the culture of productivity by enabling individuals to discover the creative potentials in them and apply same to their self and social aspirations, thereby bringing about personal, societal and national development. He urged the students to be dedicated and hardworking, be good team players with forgiving spirit; be research-oriented; must be original; must be focused and determined; must be calm and cheerful; must be polite and respectful; and must be diligent and humble.
Meanwhile, some of the fresh students have expressed their joy for securing admission into the University. According to Taiyelolu Jonathan and Kehinde Jonathan who are identical twin boys and popularly called 'J-Twins', both in the Department of Agricultural Administration, College of Agricultural Management and Rural Development (COLAMRUD), they both decided to study in FUNAAB because they felt that it was the best University, where they could further develop their passion in agriculture. The 'J-Twins' said of all the agricultural courses in the University, they chose Agricultural Administration because it was an all-encompassing course with touches all the aspect of agriculture.
They disclosed that being students of the University was a dream come true for them, said they had always been together all their lives attending the same school, sitting in the same class and dressing in similar clothing. Although, they admitted that people found it very difficult to identify them, the twins said they were similar in almost everything, including academics, while adding that they were above an average student, intending to graduate with a First Class honours degrees and foreseeing themselves in the next 10 years as chief executive officers of their agricultural firms. For Toheebat Akiode of the Department of Business Administration, College of Management Sciences (COLMAS), she opted to study in FUNAAB because she believes that it is an institution with good moral standing, where she could attain academic excellence. She dreams of graduating with First Class honours degree and would want the University to continue to offer management science courses.
