It's reporting 101: when tax season rolls around, independent contractors get form 1099, and permanent employees get a W-2. They get different forms because they are different: different benefits, different working structures, different pay structures. However, the process of defining each employee and distributing these forms to the correct person can get tricky. And, many forms often end up in the wrong hands.
Now, thanks to the Affordable Care Act and its long list of reporting mandates, the IRS is monitoring—closer than ever—how employers define their employees and what that means for benefits coverage of the workforce.
State-level studies found that between 10% and 20% of employers misclassify at least one worker as an independent contractor. It's tempting to categorize employees more often as independent contractors because, in short, it's cheaper. They don't receive overtime pay, unemployment benefits, or workers' compensation. Plus, the employer doesn't have to pay payroll taxes such as Social Security and Medicare. But, full-time employees misclassified as independent contractors miss out on the benefits they deserve.
Not only does misclassification leave the employee at a disadvantage, but it also puts the employer at risk of being hit with penalties—stricter penalties now that the ACA is kicking in. For an employer with at least 50 full-time employees, not providing coverage to at least 95% of its full-time employees results in a fine. Sometimes, the failure to reach 95% happens due to employees being reclassified by the IRS.
The Department of Labor is cracking down on misclassifications and fighting for the rights of these employees through their own investigations. In 2015, the department's investigations found $246 million in back wages for more than 240,000 workers—a 29% increase from 2008 in back wages for low-wage workers.
On top of the DOL's increased monitoring, the ACA's new reporting structure makes getting by with misclassified employees less likely. As of 2015, each employer with 50 or more full-time employees, including full-time equivalent employees, must file forms 1094-C and 1095-C. These are the employers who, under the ACA, are required to provide employees with health insurance coverage.
The employer sends form 1095-C to both the employee and the IRS. It outlines the offered coverage, the lowest-cost premium available to the employee, and the months of the year when the coverage was available. The 1094-C form only goes to the IRS, with the 1095-C forms attached. The 1094-C form provides information about the employer, including how many 1095-C forms were sent. These forms allow the IRS to see what kind of coverage employers are providing and will ensure that employers correctly classify—and correctly cover—all of their employees.
The higher risk of penalties means employers need to double, even triple, check how they are classifying their employees. Guidelines to classify an employee examine the degree of control and independence in three categories: behavioral, financial, and type of relationship. More specific rules can be found via the IRS here, and with more info on the Namely Blog here.
Although there are a number of determinants and tests for deciding the label of an individual employee, there is no exact checklist to find the final answer. But not to worry: If an employer is unsure of how to classify an employee, he or she can file an SS-8 form with the IRS. The IRS will review the information and respond with an official decision.
The Affordable Care Act is changing the way employers handle employee reporting. And, with the increase in penalties, getting classification right has become a top priority for both employers and the DOL. Staying on top of employee definitions will keep your business in the clear and the IRS far away.
Misclassifying employees can mean much more than reporting penalties.

It seems this bug (with leading whitespace or a sign) was first introduced in PHP 5.0.2, when Bugs #28435 and #29808 were fixed and it wasn't fixed with Bug #34723. This function was never fixed the same way as other functions (array_flip, array_key_exists) that also had the numeric string problem as a result of internal function changes in PHP 5. I think array_count_values is the only function that handles the values below differently than "regular" array key/index syntax, array_combine, array_flip, array_key_exists, etc.
Note: Everything was fine in 4.x; and I believe the examples *here* were fine in 5.0 before 5.0.2 (though the above bugs existed).
Thank you for the patch, the problem is now fixed in CVS.


Due to powerful operation of cold air mass, three provinces of Quang Ngai, Binh Dinh and Phu Yen have experienced torrential rain on the large scale and floodwater increase in the local rivers and reservoirs.
The local hydrology meteorology forecast centers yesterday issued urgent reports about unexpected landslide and flashflood appearance.
Yesterday morning, floodwater poured from upstream to downstream rivers which isolated as well as flooded provincial highway DT 640 connecting Tuy Phuoc district of Binh Binh to communes of Phuoc Thuan, Phuoc Son, Phuoc Hoa and Phuoc Thang (Tuy Phuoc district) and communes of Cat Tien, Cat Chanh, Cat Thang (Phu Cat district).
Some inter-rural roads in the localities were completely isolated and flooded under 0.7- 1 meters.
Thousands of employees and pupils could not travel to companies and schools due to floodwater increase.
The People's Committee of Phu Yen province said that the locality yesterday decided to discharge water at 3, 254 cubic meters while the Song Hing and Ba Xa Hydropower Plants released water at 1,854 and 1,400 cubic meters respectively.
Deputy Chairman of the People's Committee of An Dinh commune (Tuy An district, Phu Yen) Mr. Nguyen Van Tuan reported that floodwater spread out and flooded lowland areas as well as threatened people's lives.

Q: Metric under which $C([0,\infty );\mathbb{R})$ is a Polish space. Does there exist a metric such that $C([0,\infty ); \mathbb{R})$ is a separable complete metric space? The usual supremum norm isn't even a metric on this space and I've tried several variants e.g.
$$d(f,g) = \sup_{K cpct} \frac{d_K(f,g)}{1+d_K(f,g)}$$
where $d_K$ denotes the supremum norm over the compact set $K$. But, the space is not separable under this metric and several of its variants.
To see this suppose that ${f_n}$ a countable dense subset (wlog indexed by $\mathbb{N}$) then define $f(x) = f_n(x) + 1$ if $x=n$ and linearly interpolate otherwise. This $f$ will be at least a fixed distance from all the $f_n$.

A: How about giving less weight to points far from the origin? You could try $$d(f,g) =
\sum_{k=1}^\infty 2^{-k} \frac{d_{[0,k]}(f,g)}{1 + d_{[0,k]}(f,g)}.$$
For each $k$ let $\{f_{k,n}\}$ be a sequence in $C([0,\infty))$ that is dense in $C([0,k])$ in the supremum norm.
If $f \in C([0,\infty))$ and $\epsilon > 0$ you can select $N$ so that $\displaystyle \sum_{k=N+1}^\infty 2^{-k} < \frac{\epsilon}{2}$ and choose $n$ so that $d_{[0,N]} (f,f_{N,n}) < \dfrac{\epsilon}{2}$.  Then $d(f,f_{N,n}) < \epsilon$.

Vox has an article arguing that repealing or limiting Obamacare would worsen the opioid crisis, since you would be taking away insurance (mostly Medicaid) from people who desperately need it to handle their addiction.
Given that we haven't addressed the two fundamental issues driving the opioid crisis- the ease with which people are prescribed addictive narcotics and the ease and low cost with which Mexican black tar heroin is entering the country and being distributed to addicts- I find it highly unlikely that the expansion of Medicaid in 2014 and 2015 did anything to help.
We can also look at this question more directly. Here is the change in drug overdose death rates from 2013 to 2015 from the CDC, comparing the 26 states and DC who had expanded Medicaid by 2015 (most expanded on January 1, 2014) to the 22 states that did not expand Medicaid by the end of 2015 and to the two states (Indiana and Alaska) who expanded Medicaid during 2015.
Obviously this is hardly an open-and-shut case- it's likely that the states which expanded Medicaid already had a more quickly worsening problem than those who didn't. But again, we're talking about an additional increase of over 1.5 per 100,000 in the death rate from drug overdoses in states that expanded Medicaid versus the ones that didn't. This translates to about 2600 additional deaths in 2015.
Were the conservative governors who came into office in 2010 who turned down the Medicaid expansion able to slow down Medicaid or other public insurance enrollments even before the Affordable Care Act came into full effect, with some slowing of the opioid crisis as a result? Or, to put the shoe on the other foot, were liberal state governments that accepted the expansion also deliberately speeding public insurance enrollment in the years leading up to full ACA rollout, with the knock-on effect of even faster increases in overdoses? This seems pretty plausible to me.
Apparently Gabriel and I contributed to a showdown between German Lopez and Dylan Matthews of Vox and Senator Mike Lee's communication director last night. That's funny.
What's not funny is that yesterday, after I wrote this post, I ran into the uncle of two former students. I asked how they were doing. When I taught them in high school, they were both nice, polite, reasonably bright underachievers who smoked too much pot. I figured they'd be working or in community college, muddling along like a lot of young guys.
Their uncle told me yesterday that they both had near-fatal overdoses in the last year. Both had started with prescription pills and moved on to heroin, with the predicted utter destruction of the rest of their lives. One seems to have moved back from the brink and is starting to get clean. The other is still in free fall.
The average age at death of an opiate overdose is between 20 and 25.
Now, do I think that the Medicaid expansion was itself the biggest driver of why ACA expansion states had larger growth in overdoses than non-ACA states? No.
The best single predictor I've found for the change in overdose rates by state from 2010 to 2015 is the percent of white uninsured in the state in 2015, with lower percentages uninsured having much larger increases in overdose rates.
If you put this variable- that the Affordable Care Act did affect, together with the baseline variables (2010 OD Rates, SSI receipt, and percent of Medicaid recipients white)- suddenly those outliers don't look like outliers any more.
That's what I think caused at least part of the divergence between blue (ACA expansion) and red (no ACA expansion) states in the overdose rates. Not the Medicaid expansion in of itself, but the dominant political party in these states taking reducing the percentage of uninsured as a principal goal, without realizing that a new population of younger insured carried huge new risks of abuse.
The zeal with which the anti addiction special interests attacked prescription opioids had a bad outcome. Namely switching from legal and (lightly) regulated substances to black market, unregulated substances.
One of the drivers of the policy argument was overdoses from prescription opioids. However, it is my opinion that most of the deaths involved multiple substances. Alcohol for one. And benzodiazepines. And then there are suicides. My data is purely anecdotal, but we were at a point with 'pill mills' where some opioids were quasi deregulated. And as someone crazy enough to read the footnotes, there seemed to be room for subjectivity in terms of listing a cause of death in situations with multiple drugs involved. The CDC or DEA study (I can't remember) stated that they associated each death with a single cause. My guess was that up to half of the overdoses could have been multiple drug or suicide or both. I don't understand the actual mechanics of overdosing, but they seem to have a hard time actually killing someone in capital punishment situations.
As far as the drugs costing thousands of dollars per month, that is a different problem, and could have been more directly addressed.
We seem to be able to accept lifestyle related deaths from alcohol and tobacco. The United States seems to regularly get into situations where the best is enemy of the good. Pill mills weren't the best. But they avoid the worst problems of criminalization. There are records of purchases. They take place indoors. The substances are correctly labeled. They are safe to use as prescribed. &c. As far as suicides, an OD seems better than a gunshot to the head, and is at least no worse.
Have you tried controlling for racial makeup? It's pretty widely reported that black people were hit much less hard by the opioid epidemic (because doctors are more reluctant to prescribe painkillers to black people), and the Medicaid expansion rejection states include a lot of states with a below-average black population. According to the demographic information at KFF.org, 12% of the US population is black, and after Texas (which has a 12% black population) the next five most populous non-expansion states had above average black population (FL, GA, NC, VA, TN).
Not being a very statsy guy I looked at Maryland–the Medicaid expansion state with the highest black population (except Louisiana, which didn't expand Medicaid till 2016, so Medicaid expansion was outside the data set)–and it's hard for me to interpret. The death rate climbed pretty drastically from 2010 to 2013 before really taking off in 2014 and 2015–but 2010 had the lowest death rate in this whole data set, so the 2012-3 numbers aren't that much higher than the pre-2010 norm.
Correction: "the Medicaid expansion rejection states include a lot of states with an *above*-average black population." Specifically the more populous ones that I'd expect to drive the unweighted average.
Look at the data in https://www.brookings.edu/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/6_casedeaton.pdf, figures 1.1 through 1.12 and in the appendix. The train already left the station before obamacare. Using the death data to smack on Obamacare, is, in my opinion, dishonest.
Dishonest in what sense? As I said, you can't predict change from 2010 on from 2010 OD rates or other obvious baseline characteristics alone. Obviously, the "red" states have been increasing, too, so this isn't the main cause. Quinones's book ends largely before the period I'm talking about, and tells about a devastating crisis well before it reached current levels. I am saying that the Affordable Care Act definitely didn't help (in contrast to what Vox claimed), and likely worsened an already fast-deteriorating situation.
This only works if you take into account the fact that the populations differed to begin with. Comparing, say, white people from West Virginia and white people from Virginia is going to produce differences completely independent of Medicaid expansion. Maine appears to have been the only New England state to not expand Medicaid and it has similar OD rates to the neighboring states that did.
If you really want to test this, you need to compare states with similar demographics – not just between the races (black, white, hispanic, etc.) but also within them. What seems to be the case is that certain groups, like the Scots Irish, seem far more at risk of developing problems with opioids than others.
What that means is that you're not wrong, exactly, but you don't seem willing to stare your data in the face and say things explicitly. For some people, Medicaid expansion may be a bad idea, or may require safeguards to stop them from killing themselves off. But that doesn't mean that it's a bad idea in general, as you're heavily implying. It might be good for the more disciplined middle and working classes.
Some good points. It's clearly regional (Northeastern) but it doesn't any longer seem to be about poverty or education in any real sense- NH, CT, MA, and MD are among the richest and most educated states in the country. I wouldn't have put them in the same bucket as WV on almost any metric a few years ago.
My personal experience with homeless/near homeless and long-term unemployed folks on Medicaid/SSI/whatever is they actually receive a great deal of free or nearly free medical care. I don't know how good it is, but they sure get a lot of it.
I want to site this data in a paper I am writing, however some of your charts do not lists where they are from, and there is not author data nor a date of upload. Can I have the name of the author, their qualifications, as well as the sources of the tables that do not have a source listed?
Also, I include the address of the CDC Wonder mortality data and the KFF description of which states were in the Medicaid expansion by date in the graphs above.


Hazard mitigation is the use of long-term and short-term policies, programs, projects, and other activities to alleviate the death, injury, and property damage that can result from a disaster. San Mateo County has developed and maintained a multi-hazard mitigation plan (HMP) to reduce risks from natural disasters. The plan complies with requirements for hazard mitigation planning to maintain eligibility for funding under Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) grant programs.

The Diet Plan That Burns Fat and Promotes Health
by Team FitRx
Thursday. 22 December 2016
Research on the Mediterranean diet indicates that it's the best long-term fat loss diet for women. The diet's appetite-suppressing and metabolism-boosting properties have induced weight loss in overweight individuals, but the diet also comes with many unrealized health benefits— the Mediterranean people have a relatively low rate of cardiovascular disease, diabetes and other misfortunes that plague other countries. This has led many to conclude that the traditional Mediterranean diet is the answer to the question, "What is the best diet for weight loss?".
So what makes the Mediterranean diet so effective? Fish, olive oil and red wine, in addition to being delicious, provide essential fatty acids and protein with little burden of excess calories. The U.S. diet, in contrast, contains relatively little omega-3 fatty acids, marine-based protein or essential fats. Read on to learn why the Mediterranean diet is the best fat-loss diet for women, and then get started with our sample meal plan.
Olive Oil and Nuts For a Lean, Tight Midsection
Olive oil and certain nuts are rich sources of the conditionally essential fatty acid called oleic acid, and other bioactive compounds. In addition to its nutritional value, oleic acid is also a precursor for a number of hormone-like biochemicals that reduce inflammation and promote cardiovascular health.
Research has established the pivotal role of an oleic acid-based hormone in controlling food intake by initiating and prolonging satiety. Oleylethanolamine (OEA) is a "gut hormone" produced in the cells lining the small intestines. When a fat-containing meal is consumed, the process of creating OEA from oleic acid is initiated. Interestingly, OEA has been shown in rat studies to dramatically decrease appetite, primarily by causing a person to be satisfied with smaller meals for a longer period. As opposed to recent weight-loss drugs being developed, OEA actually improves signs of depression, as opposed to causing depression or suicidal thoughts— a problem that has halted development of the promising cannabinoid receptor antagonists drugs, such as rimonabant. OEA's effects take place both in the brain at the hunger/satiety centers and in the gut, as it has been shown to delay gastric emptying (the passage of food from the stomach to intestines).
Though nuts are another rich source of essential fatty acids, they are also an energy dense food, due to their high fat content. Though this sounds like a negative that would make one prone to weight gain if she ate a considerable number of nuts, it is actually the opposite effect that is seen in nutrition studies. When nuts are provided to individuals, they do not gain weight and occasionally lose weight despite the increased fat consumption.
In a review looking at nut consumption, published in The Journal of Nutrition, it was revealed that nuts do not give up their calories easily. Most food products are processed so that the calories and nutrients are easily released when consumed. Blended protein shakes, power bars and refined carbohydrates cause a quick surge in sugar and amino acids to the body. Nuts are much more resistant to digestion, allowing a person to chew and swallow the nuts without the burden of all the calories. The slow digestion and bulk of nuts also provide a greater satiety in meals, allowing one to avoid hunger binges or between-meal snacking. Additionally, the inclusion of nuts tends to decrease the glycemic load of a diet.
Another property of long-term nut consumption supporting weight (and hopefully fat) loss is an increase in resting energy expenditure (REE). This means that people who eat a lot of nuts tend to have a more revved-up metabolism. An increased REE causes the body to burn more calories throughout the day, even when lounging on the couch.
It's important to remember that focusing solely upon developing a ripped set of abs requires two things: training the abs to tone and develop the ab muscles, as well as eating appropriately to reduce body fat to single-digit body fat percentages.
Don't Pig Out
Even with the Mediterranean diet, avoiding large meals is essential, as overeating is the foundation to fat gain. To develop toned abs, one needs to get in the habit of eating smaller meals. Obviously, this will result in more frequent meals to meet the daily calorie needs, but this will aid in avoiding overeating. Consuming moderate amounts of fat, including a significant portion rich in oleic acid and fish oils, will improve health and possibly reduce appetite. The bulk provided by whole grains and produce will aid in meal satiety, without increasing the glycemic load of the meals.
One downside of the Mediterranean diet is the relatively low protein content. This would lead many active women to feel disappointment, as muscle tone decreases and strength/performance is lessened without adequate protein. Further, the addition of higher protein reduces the glycemic load and increases the satiety factor of a meal.
Another possible consideration for women is that the Mediterranean diet is relatively low in saturated fat and the omega-6 fatty acid, arachidonic acid. Arachidonic acid is a precursor to many hormone-like molecules that are involved in cell signaling, inflammation, catabolic and anabolic processes.
Sample Diet
Targeting for a daily calorie intake of 10 calories X bodyweight in pounds (adjust portion sizes appropriately); 1 gram protein per pound bodyweight.
Meal 1: Omelet with egg yolks, black olives and diced tomato; low-fat milk; orange
Meal 2: Steel-cut oats mixed with yogurt, berries, whey protein; fish oil capsules (4 grams)
Meal 3: High protein shake with creatine (pre-workout)
Meal 4: High protein shake blended with banana (post-workout)
Meal 5: Non-sweetened yogurt with crushed pineapple; almond/walnut/cranberry mix
Meal 6: Salmon; whole-grain bread with olive oil and herb platter; steamed broccoli

Carrie White -- making people afraid to pick on "that girl" since 1974.
A novel of a girl possessed of a terrifying power.
Published in 1974, Carrie was the first published novel by author Stephen King; it was adapted into a classic Horror film in 1976 by Brian De Palma. The story follows the life of high school outcast Carrie White, a young teenage girl who has no friends at school and is endlessly tormented by her classmates and by her own mother, a raving Christian fanatic named Margaret. After being humiliated in the school shower while having her first period, Carrie learns that she possesses potent telekinetic powers, allowing her to move objects and knock people down with her mind. One bully in particular, Chris Hargensen, is suspended and barred from the upcoming prom for the incident involving Carrie. Feeling that Carrie is to blame for the situation, Chris plots revenge against her.
In the meantime, Sue Snell (one of Carrie and Chris' classmates) feels that what she and her friends did to Carrie was wrong and asks her athlete boyfriend, Tommy Ross, to take Carrie to the prom as a form of atonement. Chris finds out about this and sees an opening for one of the greatest pranks in school history: she and her friends will rig the ballots for prom queen so that Carrie wins, then dump a bucket of pig's blood on her head in front of the entire senior class, humiliating her on the best night of her life.
This goes about as well as one would expect it to.
Carrie is regarded as a landmark horror film, seen as one of the best horror films of The Seventies and one of the best feature film adaptations of a Stephen King work, to the point where King himself feels that it's better than the book. The film was a major success for United Artists, grossing over $33 million at the U.S. box office on a budget of just $1.8 million. The ending is notable for being perhaps the first use of a "shock" ending in a horror film, which has since become a staple of the genre due to its influence. It was welcomed by immense critical acclaim -- unusual for a horror film, even today -- and was nominated for two Academy Awards[1] and a Hugo Award. There have since been several follow-ups/adaptations, none of which involved DePalma or King:
A Broadway adaptation was put together in The Eighties, written by Lawrence D. Cohen (the writer of the 1976 movie). After a limited run at the Royal Shakespeare Theatre in England (which received mixed reviews), it debuted on Broadway on May 12, 1988. There, it was met with scathing reviews, and the $7+ million production quickly became one of the biggest flops in Broadway history, closing after only sixteen previews and five shows. It was infamous enough that a book written about Broadway's worst was titled Not Since Carrie. A number of people, however, saw a lot of potential beneath the poor production and feel that it could've been done much better it had been given some polish. A heavily overhauled, off-Broadway revival is in the works.
The Rage: Carrie 2 was a sequel made in 1999. It has its own page.
A made-for-TV Remake was made in 2002, written by Bryan Fuller (yes, that Bryan Fuller) and starring Angela Bettis in the title role. It stayed closer to King's novel than the 1976 film did -- with the exception of the ending, which was meant to lead into an NBC series that never came about. Mirroring the novel's use of after-the-fact articles to tell its story, most of the film takes place in flashbacks, with the survivors of Carrie's rampage being interviewed by the police. It is notable for an early appearance by Emilie de Ravin, who plays Chris. Despite its obvious low budget, Conspicuous CG, and radically altered ending, this film has its share of fans, and it's not unheard of to find people (particularly younger fans and those who have read the book) who prefer it over the 1976 film.
Another remake starring Chloë Grace Moretz and Julianne Moore was released in 2013. It was written by playwright, Marvel Comics scribe and Glee writer/co-producer Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa, and directed by Kimberly Peirce (of Boys Don't Cry fame). Like the last remake, it was less of a remake of the original film and more of an adaptation of the King book, with the use of found-footage elements and interviews to convey the book's Scrapbook Story. The reaction has been unsurprising -- even King himself has questioned whether it is necessary -- though Sissy Spacek doesn't seem to mind.
Not to be confused with the country singer, though her video for "Before He Cheats" is an Homage to the film. Or the 1952 film of the same name starring Laurence Olivier and directed by William Wyler. Or with that Carrie. Or that one.
Tropes used in Carrie include:
Adaptational Attractiveness: Carrie, although even in the book She Cleans Up Nicely. To a lesser extent, Margaret in both films.
Adaptational Villainy: Norma in the original film. This was due to DePalma enjoying PJ Soles's performance and thus rewriting her role to give her more screen time. Ditto for Tina in the 2002 film. Neither were actually evil in the book.
Adorkable: Norma may be The Dragon to Chris' council of high school villainy, but she is so dorky and cute you kind of want to let it slide. Especially after seeing her get her hair done in the salon, and still wearing her trademark hat on top of the dryer.
Affectionate Parody: An entire fan-made musical theater production was made as a loving parody of the original film, entitled Scarrie!. Carrie was played by a man, as was her mother, who also had five o'clock shadow. Lampshade hangings, fourth wall breaking, and the play ended with the moral of the story being "Chris should have just killed that stupid bitch, and went to the prom!", as the dead sing a cheerful song pointing out that this was all Sue's fault.
Air Vent Passageway: In the remake, this is the only way anybody is able to get out of the gym once Carrie locks the doors.
The Alleged Car: The original book has Billy driving a rusty, beat-up, jacked-in-the-back '61 Chevy Biscayne with a broken headlight. The film, fortunately, upgrades him to something much cooler.
All Girls Want Bad Boys: Chris with Billy, who is frequently described as a delinquent, and is seen cracking open a beer while cruising down the strip (stopping only after he notices that there's a cop in the next lane). He is the one who kills the pigs to get the blood for the prank.
All of the Other Reindeer
Alpha Bitch: Chris and Norma in the original, and Chris (again) and Tina in the remake.
Lampshaded in the parody Scarrie!:
Chris: "The Carrie Whites of the world aren't meant to go out with the Tommy Rosses of the world! For if God had wanted that, he would have given her a kick-ass bod, and long hair, that layers easily and DANCES IN THE WIND!!"
Asshole Victim: Let's face it, Billy and Chris kind of had it coming.
Beautiful All Along
Beauty Is Never Tarnished: Averted when Carrie gets covered in pig blood.
Beware the Nice Ones: Pretty much the moral of the whole story.
Blondes Are Evil: This trope is likely the reason for Chris's Adaptation Dye Job in every adaptation. In the book she is black-haired but is blonde in both movies. The remake also has a gang of blonde extras who are frequently seen turning their noses up at Carrie. Averted with Helen in the remake.
Blood-Splattered Innocents: Guess.
Blood Splattered Prom Dress
Bloody Handprint: Carrie leaves one of these on Mrs. Desjardin's shorts during the opening scenes, being under the impression that she is bleeding to death during her first period.
Bucket Booby Trap
Bullying a Dragon: Chris and the rest of Carrie's Jerkass classmates didn't know what she was capable of until it was far too late. Her mother, on the other hand, did know... and not only kept right on treating her in the same old way, but actually treated her worse, calling her a witch. In the novel, it's mentioned that some of Margaret's female relatives apparently had the same talent, and Margaret knew about it.
In the book, there is a flashback from Margaret, involving her own grandmother (Carrie's great-grandmother). The woman would display her telekinesis and cackle madly. She'd also gone completely senile at an early age before dying of a heart attack. It's shown that she was a pretty frightening figure for Margaret to grow up with, which is probably why she ended up being a crazy religious fanatic. It's subtle but gives her a very slight Well-Intentioned Extremist view.
Buried Alive: Carrie in Sue's nightmare at the end of the original film.
Censor Steam: The television edit put in a ton of CGI steam to hide all the nudity in the opening five minutes.
Christianity Is Catholic: In the original film, most of the religious iconography that shows up in Margaret's house is explicitly Catholic.
Coming of Age Story: Albeit one that goes horribly, horribly wrong.
Confessional: Margaret White has one in her house, where she locks Carrie periodically. It is decorated with horrifically vengeful images of God and Jesus.
Cool Car: Billy, Chris' boyfriend, drives a 1967 Chevrolet Chevelle. Shame that Carrie blows it up.
In the remake, Billy drives a Cool Truck. It suffers a similar fate -- Carrie slams it against a tree. Roof first.
Crucified Villain Shot: In the movie: Carrie's mother, in her final shot, impaled with steak knives in the style of the St. Sebastian figurine in the confessional.
And like Saint Sebastian, she experiences religious ecstasy during her death. Saint Sebastian, who according to legend was a very handsome young man, is something of an unofficial sex symbol in the Catholic Church (especially among closeted gay men). The movie uses this to show how Carrie's mother has literally channeled her sex drive into religious devotion - or in this case, Saint Sebastian.
Deadly Prank: It ends up being this for almost the entire high school. In the remake, Tommy is killed when the bucket falls on his head before Carrie's revenge even starts; in the book (and possibly the movie), he's only knocked unconscious, but dies with the rest of the students in the fire.
It should also be noted that in the book, Carrie not only killed her school but went on a rampage through her town, killing almost everyone who lived there.
Death by Adaptation: Norma and the gym teacher in the 1976 film. In both the book and the remake, they lived.
Tina in the remake. It seemed both films made sure that the girl who helped Chris with the prank would get retribution.
Death by Mocking: And how.
Delinquents: Billy and his friends.
Desolation Shot: Appears in the remake, with its shots of the fire and destruction that Carrie has left in her wake.
Did You Think I Can't Feel?: A variation: instead of Carrie saying this, it's Miss Desjardins (Collins in the movie) who does so for her as she punishes the class for humiliating Carrie in the shower. Subverted in that the girls don't learn a thing from it -- in fact, it makes Chris want to humiliate Carrie even further.
Miss Desjardins (Collins): Have any of you ever stopped to think that Carrie White has feelings? Have any of you ever stopped to think?
Carrie finally standing up to Margaret also has elements of this.
Disappeared Dad: Carrie's father died in an accident before she was born.
Domestic Abuse: How Margaret treats Carrie, and how Billy treats Chris.
Downer Ending: Carrie kills her mother at the end, then dies from a combination of overuse of her power and her own injuries. Also, the few survivors appear to be traumatized, especially Sue.
Dying Town: In the book, the town of Chamberlain becomes one of these in the aftermath of Carrie's rampage, well on its way to becoming a Ghost Town, as starkly reported in "The Legacy of TK: Scorched Earth and Scorched Hearts," one of the articles that make up the book's epilogue:
The over-all impression is one of a town that is waiting to die. It is not enough, these days, to say that Chamberlain will never be the same. It may be closer to the truth to say that Chamberlain will simply never again be.
The End - or Is It?: The final scene, where Sue is grabbed by Carrie's arm coming out of the ground while laying flowers at the ashes of her house. Thankfully, it turns out to be All Just a Dream. This shock ending wound up having a major influence on many pioneering Slasher Movies, particularly Friday the 13 th.
The book has a very quiet The End - or Is It?, with Amelia's letter to her sister. Fortunately, she's not a religious nut, and her concerns about Annie's telekinetic powers are mostly health-related.
Every Car Is a Pinto: Billy's Chevelle explodes soon after rolling over. Justified, though, in that it's heavily implied that Carrie caused the car to blow up.
Evil Matriarch
Even Evil Has Standards:
In the 2002 version, when Billy sees Carrie out on the road and decides to run her over, Chris screams at him to stop. She wanted Carrie humiliated, not being ended up as roadkill. This isn't the case in the original, where it was Chris who tried to run Carrie down while Billy just looked on confused, likely drunk.
During the 2002 version's prom scene, after Carrie is drenched in blood, she -- in her mind -- hears and sees the entire student body and teachers laughing mockingly at her; in reality, the students stood mostly in stunned silence, trying to register what had happened, and most of them likely were disgusted and/or outraged (and probably wanted the instigators punished). The scene cuts back and forth between the actual reaction and what Carrie believes its the reaction.
Fan Disservice: The shower scene in the beginning starts off very sexy, with lingering shots of the entire female cast undressing and showering, but it then culminates in Carrie shrieking while having her period.
Fiction Isn't Fair
The Film of the Book
Flat Earth Atheist: In the book, mention is made of how the "Carrie White affair" and proof of the existence of psychic powers has affected the scientific community's long-held preconceptions. While most scientists have accepted this new reality, it's mentioned that those at Duke University, among others, continue to reject it as a hoax even after the government's official report on what happened supported their existence.
Follow the Leader:
The most Egregious example is possibly the 1978 film Jennifer, which is basically Carrie with snakes!
And the 1987 film Hello Mary-Lou: Prom Night 2, which is Carrie meets A Nightmare on Elm Street.
The Freelance Shame Squad: A lot of those stupid teenagers at the prom might have lived had they not found Carrie's utter humiliation so hilarious.
Freudian Excuse: Having Margaret White as a mother can excuse practically everything.
The Fundamentalist: Carrie's mom is a particularly psycho version of this trope.
High School Dance
Homage: The video for "Before He Cheats" by Carrie Underwood. In the video, as Underwood walks down a small-town city street, various objects fly in the air, building windows break, lampposts fall and so forth, during a rampage caused by the horror she felt when she saw her boyfriend kissing another woman. (Her boyfriend's truck is also badly damaged, presumably as the result of the Carrie-type rampage.)
Heh... Carrie Underwood.
Horror Doesn't Settle for Simple Tuesday: It strikes on prom night instead.
I Can't Believe a Guy Like You Would Notice Me
Hell, Carrie and Tommy dance to a song with the same words as this trope at the prom.
I Was Quite a Looker: Carrie's next door neighbor remarks what a pretty child she was and her reaction to seeing Carrie's high school photo was "what did that woman [Margaret] do to her?".
In the Blood: One of the book's Scrapbook Story elements consists of clippings from books and scientific papers discussing the genetic and biological origins of telekinesis.
It's a Small Net After All: Subverted in the remake. When Carrie does a search for "miracles" so that she could learn about her psychic powers, she has to dig through a bunch of results that have nothing to do with what she's looking for (including a site advertising "miracle underwear"). Still, she's able to find the information she needs without having to go to the second page.
"It's Not Rape If You Enjoyed It": Margaret crudely tells Carrie how she was produced via rape because Margaret considered all sex -- even within marriage -- to be offensive and sinful. She starts screaming with pleasure about how she admits she enjoyed it.
Jumping Off the Slippery Slope: In the novel, Carrie's initial reason for flooding the gym is simply to ruin the prom. She quickly decides to kill everyone instead.
Kill'Em All: In the original film, Sue is the only major character who survives to the end. The remake has a larger pool of survivors, which includes Ms. Desjardin, who died in the original film.
Kill It with Fire: In all versions of the story, Carrie kills her fellow classmates by locking them in the gym and burning it down. The novel and the remake also have her flooding the gym floor and dropping live wires into it, electrocuting everybody. In the original film, this is also how Carrie dies.
Left the Background Music On: During "Eve Was Weak" in Scarrie!, Carrie gets annoyed with the back up chorus singers singing while she's trying to pray, and uses her powers to slam the door on them.
Lovecraft Country: The book and the remake are set in Maine. It's made explicit in the book, while in the remake, the license plates give it away.
Made for TV Movie: The remake.
The Masochism Tango: Chris and Billy, especially in the book.
Medium Awareness: In the parody Scarrie!, Chris is singing in protest of the after school detention. Miss Collins responds with "Are you trying to out-sing me, Hargensen? *singing* You're out of the proooom!"
Menstrual Menace
Mind Rape: In the book, a dying Carrie tries to do this to Sue, angry about the prank that she thought Sue had pulled on her... only to find that Sue meant her no harm, and that she hadn't planned to humiliate her at the prom. Sue even lets Carrie into her mind intentionally to prove this to her. Also, several people who survived Carrie's rampage had her presence and identity essentially stamped into their minds, even though most of them had never met her and many never saw her that night.
A Minor Kidroduction: The original film would have started out like this had the special effects necessary for the scene worked properly. They didn't, and so the scene was scrapped. The remake, thanks to the advance of CGI, was able to include this scene, albeit not at the very beginning.
Mugging the Monster: Although, they didn't know she was a monster until it was too late.
Mutual Kill:
In the novel: Margaret stabs Carrie, then Carrie kills Margaret by stopping her heart. Carrie eventually dies from shock, blood loss, and overuse of her power in finishing off her final tormentor, Chris Hargensen.
In the original movie: Margaret stabs Carrie, Carrie uses Margaret's knives to crucify her, and then Carrie is finished off by a burning, collapsing house, along with shock, blood loss, and general physical overload.
In the remake, Margaret drowns Carrie in the bathtub and Carrie gives Margaret a heart attack. Carrie doesn't stay dead for long, though.
My God, What Have I Done?: The reason Sue asked Tommy to take Carrie to the prom was because she felt sorry for what she did to Carrie in the shower. Also, Carrie has a moment like this after killing her mother.
My Name Is Not Durwood:
The Principal: We're really sorry about this incident, Cassie...
Carrie: IT'S CARRIE!
Never Found the Body: In the remake.
Next Sunday A.D.: The events of the book (which was published in 1974) are said to have occurred in 1979, and most of the in-universe articles that the book uses for exposition were written in the '80s. The films, however, are all set squarely in the year that they were released in.
Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: Sue. Granted, if she hadn't participated in humiliating Carrie in the shower, Carrie would have still been mistreated, but Sue's actions made her feel guilty enough to send Tommy to ask her to the prom, which is what set into motion everything that followed.
Nightmare Fetishist: Judging by accounts of what she was like on-set, Sissy Spacek was one of these. When trying to come up with a good fake blood, Sissy said she'd be willing to just use actual blood (they chose to use red corn syrup instead). Plus, when they were planning on having a stunt double perform the scene where Carrie reaches out of the ground to grab Sue's arm, Sissy insisted on doing the scene herself because she wanted to experience being Buried Alive.
No Good Deed Goes Unpunished: Sue just wanted to do something nice for Carrie. We all know how that turned out.
Offing the Offspring: Margaret White is convinced her daughter's telekinesis is a sign of demonic possession. Things come to a head after the fateful prom.
Only in Florida: From the remake: where else would a girl with Psychic Powers who faked her death run and hide in? The one place where such a thing would pass for "normal."
Ordinary High School Student: Carrie and Sue.
The Parody:
The 1982 Scott Baio film Zapped!, about a high school nerd who gains telekinetic powers after an accident in the science lab. He mainly uses his powers to beat up bullies and strip girls naked. It even climaxes with a scene where he goes berserk at a school dance - but there's no death. Just girls stripped naked.
In the Airplane!-esque slasher movie spoof Pandemonium (also from '82), the Final Girl is "Candy", who has telekinetic powers that allow her to kill the villain. Her first scene, in which she defies her overprotective mom, also pokes fun at the famous "dirty pillows" euphemism for breasts.
Scarrie!. See Affectionate Parody above.
Person as Verb: At the end of the novel, it's said that "to rip off a Carrie" passed into teen slang, meaning "to commit large-scale mayhem". In Real Life, "pulling a Carrie" or "going Carrie on [something]" became synonymous with someone going crazy after being humiliated. This one's become so well-traveled that it even appears in the Kare Kano manga as a visual-only metaphor for someone snapping under the strain of having perfectionist, controlling parents.
Pilot Movie: The remake was intended to be this for a show on NBC, but it was never picked up due to low ratings.
Prank Date: Subverted. Carrie thought this was the case when Tommy asked her to the prom. However, he had benign intentions, as did his girlfriend Sue, who arranged for him to take Carrie to the prom instead of her due to her feeling sorry for joining in on Carrie's humiliation in the shower. Chris found out, though, and she wanted to make sure it went very badly. And it did.
Psycho Strings: Heard whenever Carrie uses her powers.
Race Lift: Sue, who was white in the original, was black in the remake. Fortunately, they not only resisted the temptation to turn her into a Sassy Black Woman, but they did not even mention her race at all, implying that this was more of an example of colorblind casting than political correctness.
The actress who played Sue in the remake, Kandyse McClure, would go on to play Vicky, another originally white character, in the Children of the Corn remake.
An arguable example would be the change of the gym teacher's ethnicity from French in the book (Desjardin) to Irish in the movie (Collins).
Roaring Rampage of Revenge
Rustproof Blood
Scrapbook Story: The original novel was partly told through a mix of newspaper and magazine articles, scholarly papers, government reports, and excerpts from Sue Snell's memoirs.
Screen to Stage Adaptation: The musical. As detailed above, it has become a byword for disastrous Broadway flops.
... and as the lights dim to black, boos ring out from the upper balcony while below, others begin an ovation. ... Carrie has become an instant legend.
As the audience files out, some appear thrilled, others appalled; the word most frequently bandied about is "unbelievable". ... The ad copy, which read "There's Never Been a Musical Like Her," has proved oddly prophetic.
Scarrie! the musical parody.
Setting Update: The remake sets the movie in 2002 instead of the 1970s.
The Seventies: The setting of the book and the original film.
Seventies Hair
Sex Is Evil: Margaret thinks all sex, even within marriage, is immoral and sinful.
Sex Is Evil and I Am Horny: Though Margaret's husband, Ralph shared her beliefs, once he couldn't resist the temptation, and managed to pressure her into having sex (or outright raped her, it's a bit ambiguous); that's how Carrie was conceived. Margaret never got over the fact that she actually enjoyed the act.
Sexless Marriage: Carrie's parents wanted to have a marriage like that.
She Cleans Up Nicely: When Carrie gets dressed up for the prom, both Tommy and the narrator say she's beautiful. Miss Desjardin gets this as well when she turns up at the prom. Carrie thinks she looks as though she's attending the prom instead of just chaperoning.
Shout-Out: The original, being directed by noted Alfred Hitchcock fan Brian DePalma, has tons of shout-outs to Hitchcock's movies. The two biggest ones are probably the use of the "shower" music from Psycho, and the fact that the school is renamed Bates High School.
The remake has a shout-out to She's All That where Tommy remarks how similar this is to the plot of that.
Shower of Angst: Goes without saying, both openings have this, as well as the endings.
Single Girl Seeks Most Popular Guy: Deconstructed.
Split Screen: Used perfectly during the prom scene. This is a staple of Brian De Palma, so it isn't surprising.
Stepford Smiler: Sue is terrified of becoming this in the novel after high school though funnily enough, the incident prevents her from becoming one.
Strolling Through the Chaos: All of which is being caused, directly or otherwise, by Carrie.
Stuff Blowing Up: Especially in the remake.
Teens Are Monsters: All the girls in the locker room, but particularly Chris, who is the mastermind behind the pig-blood prank. Billy is a monster as well. And of course, there's Carrie...
There Are No Therapists / Social Services Does Not Exist: Justified. Margaret probably thinks that therapists would lead Carrie down the path to Hell, and she'll be damned if she'll let the "godless" government social workers take away her daughter -- in the book, at least, it's established that she regards the government as a den of sin.
Token Romance: The 1976 film adds a kiss scene between Tommy and Carrie, implying he has fallen for her. In the original book this never happened since Tommy was in love with Sue. You then realize that Tommy pretty much cheated on Sue. The book states he only thought of Carrie as a friend.
Trailers Always Spoil: The trailer showed off pretty much the entire climax, including the deaths of nearly every major character, which makes one wonder why anyone bothered to go see the film. It's particularly hilarious when they dramatically mention "John Travolta in his first motion picture role" and promptly have his car explode.
Unusual Euphemism: They're not breasts, they're "dirtypillows".
Villain Protagonist: Carrie. She's also type II anti-villain.
Where I Was Born and Razed: The original story and the remake have Carrie destroying her entire town, killing over four hundred people. In the book, it's explicitly stated that, within a few months, what was left of Chamberlain, Maine was a Dying Town, on the way to becoming a Ghost Town. The makers of the original film wanted to include this, but they didn't have the budget, and instead settled for destroying just her high school and her house.
Who's Laughing Now?: The prom scene. All of it.
Woobie, Destroyer of Worlds: Carrie could have been the Trope Namer for this. She may go psychotic at the end but she is almost instantly remorseful. And after what she endured, it's amazing she didn't snap sooner.

MESSAGE #1333 ARE YOU JUST GOING THROUGH THE MOTIONS?
Are you just going through the motions in your sport and life?
Do you mindlessly go through practice and wonder why you are not improving?
Do you mindlessly drive your car and find yourself ending up someplace else?
Do you mindlessly speak with people and forget what they say?
Recently, I was in Tampa, Florida for Spring Training for the Yankees. I spent some time with pitcher, Cory Arbiso. Cory and I talked about how he mentally prepares for competition.
During pitching drills, instead of just going through the motions, Arbiso uses visualization. Most pitchers just rush through the drills, but Arbiso takes his time and makes the session as realistic as possible. He varies the timing on his delivery and even checks imaginary runners. In his mind, Arbiso imagines the type of pitch he is going to throw and the location, even if there is no ball in his hand.
The more realistic and mindfully you practice, the more you will be able to deliver in competition.
At the professional level, everyone is an elite athlete, but the ones that make it are the ones who slow the game down and master the game between the ears.

We will like to present to you our Santa Clarita moving company that has vast experience in the area of carrying out moves. We possess a team of highly professional movers that are willing and able to work any time you require them. Your satisfaction is the force that drives us and gives us the motivation to work. Unlike many other local moving companies in Santa Clarita, we prioritize your wishes. We are not about making money but rather helping. Furthermore, our moving quote is very budget friendly and is specifically designed to not scare you. We comprehend that moving is a hard challenge but we are prepared to face it. Well, for this end, our movers in Santa Clarita CA are very much diversified to provide a wide range of possible services at the highest standards. Let us start off!
To begin with, we would like to mention the most obvious type of service – house moving. It is very widespread. Therefore, we have a specialized team of house movers that are capable of carrying out all of the related tasks. It is impossible to list or outline right now all of the challenges that may take place when one performs a house move. But this is what our movers near Santa Clarita CA are able to do. We concentrate on the fact that in order to be successful, we need to be prepared to work in any condition. Therefore, we guarantee you the best quality of work. You will definitely be satisfied and even more than happy as the move will no longer be a daunting experience. That is the priority of our Santa Clarita moving company. This is not the end. A very similar sort of task would be to perform apartment moving. For this purpose, we have apartment movers, obviously. A lot of people nowadays are living in apartments. Changing one apartment for another or for another type of living, like a house, becomes very frequent. Thus, this type of service is getting extremely demanded. Customers are usually excessively worried about their belongings and their safety. We said excessively because the difference between us and other local moving companies in Santa Clarita is that we take the responsibility for delivering them safely. Do not worry. You have professionals working side by side with you.
Well, this is not the end of the services that our moving helpers can do. Household moving is another task related to the previous ones. This is more difficult as it involves many other additional tasks and requires a lot of extra precautions and measures. We take it seriously, as you can see because the safety of your belongings is the hallmark of our Santa Clarita moving company. As many would expect, it is much harder to realize. But our movers near Santa Clarita CA are fully trained to perform all of the necessary activities.
However, we are not finished yet. Another similar activity is condo moving. Condos keep springing up as they are very attractive. But the thing is that people keep looking for a better place to live. This is normal for all human beings. Thus, this service is highly demanded, and our movers in Santa Clarita CA are ready to perform this type of moving for you whenever you need it. Well, now we can pay a bit more attention to the features of the moving types described above. To move furniture is what makes up the main part of any activity. Of course, this should be done very carefully. Moreover, quite frequently, one may encounter a scenario where the furniture needs to be taken apart, especially when passages, doorways and corridors are too narrow. No worries. Our Santa Clarita CA movers are ready to do everything that you expect from them.
With these descriptions, we nearly omitted one very important service that many desire – piano moving. This is not the same as moving furniture. The surface of the piano is extremely vulnerable to damage. It should be transported very carefully. Therefore, we have specialized piano movers who can do it for you.
Once again, we want to show understanding of the modern needs. Moving from one residence to another appears to be very frequent. People seek the living standards and conditions that meet their comfort and stability criteria. This is very good. We are ready to stand by your side and offer you the service of our residential movers that will do all of the necessary tasks for you. You can just simply relax.
Besides, we do specialize in other areas, like commerce and business moving. This is a bit different to what is covered in the previous scenarios. We offer commercial movers that are always ready to come and use all of their skills and experience to help you out. We will not let you down as we are willing and able to work well to your benefit.
Apart from this, we can provide you with office movers that are waiting for you to give them an opportunity to work. The modern-day business and economic climate proves to be very strained and highly unstable. Seldom, one can be sure that nothing will change in his financial accounts. The costs are very important as they may force one to leave one place for another one or shut down either temporarily or permanently. Well, our Santa Clarita CA movers do realize that the circumstances that make one to decide to change office may be very severe. To this end, we offer you professional service and low costs that will help you carry out your office move without major difficulties. This is a guaranteed service that is aimed at diminishing your moving costs and saving your nerves. We want you to be a prosperous entrepreneur with a blossoming and developing business. You can trust us.
To conclude, we hope that you have already seen that unlike other local moving companies in Santa Clarita CA our goal is to deliver you the uttermost satisfaction from carrying out moves. This is not going to be as difficult as you imagined. On the contrary, your nerves and cash will be saved as well as the state of your belongings will remain unchanged. Trust us!

1. On Thursday, January 28, Ambassador of Japan to the Swiss Confederation Ryuhei Maeda and Dr. Jacques de Watteville, State Secretary, the Head of the State Secretariat for International Financial Matters, signed the Joint Statement (English (PDF) / Japanese (PDF) ) concerning the automatic exchange of financial account information in Bern, Swiss Confederation.
2. This Joint Statement confirms the common understanding between Japan and the Swiss Confederation regarding the introduction of the automatic exchange of financial account information beginning in the year 2017 as part of international efforts to tackle cross-border tax evasion and avoidance. The first transmission of data will be done in 2018 in accordance with the Convention on Mutual Administrative Assistance in Tax Matters and Multilateral Competent Authority Agreement on Automatic Exchange of Financial Account Information authorized by the said Convention.
3. This joint statement is expected to contribute to deepening the cooperation in the tax area between Japan and the Swiss Confederation.

One of our customers, a global clothing and accessory retailer, was looking for a more effective way to manage their prices. Competitive threats precipitated the need to change prices frequently which stressed their existing process. Their merchandising and pricing teams struggled with correcting price mistakes quickly and identifying where errors occurred. Their process was caught in a cumbersome coordination between their host merchandising, spreadsheets, eCommerce, and Point of Sale systems. The system we implemented made the process more effective, improved the speed at which they could respond to price mistakes, and gave them visibility to where the errors were happening. Below is a review the benefits they received and how we helped them.
Better flexibility in local markets. As the competitive landscape changed, our customer needed the ability to change prices easily across local markets. While price changes were possible in their previous process, a lot of manual effort was required. Through the new tool and process we implemented, merchandisers were given the flexibility to change hard marks, sale, clearance, and promotional prices for any product and store combination. This laid the foundation to rapidly change prices. All prices are managed centrally and then individual files are generated for each store or the eCommerce site. In the future, they may take advantage of real time APIs which would allow systems to immediately receive price updates without any delay.
Correct mistakes faster. Correcting mistakes faster was a top priority in accordance with their business case. Today's retailers must have accurate pricing and be able to react quickly to errors. The previous process would take about 2 to 2.5 hours to update mistakes or simply send out midday updates. With the new solution the time was slashed to 20 minutes. The previous process went through several steps with intermediary systems. Now, they are able to generate the price change directly for the given stores and distribute the files immediately which are then transferred to the POS.
Gaining visibility to pricing outcomes. Prices were buried in spreadsheets and often it was difficult to determine the actual effective price given overlapping hard marks, promotions, and stackable coupons. In many organizations different people are responsible for merchandising and marketing and the ultimate margin is estimated until sales data is returned. With the new tool, users are able to see how the prices were built, who created the promotion or coupon, and when it is effective. The price administrators are able to search across the time horizon to see if a future price change will affect their expected margins. Prior to the new process when a store recognized a price was wrong, they would notify the business who would then go through a flurry of emails to figure out where the error occurred. Now, the pricing team is able to look up the item, find out exactly which promotions are applied, and correct the error quickly.
Consolidating pricing activities. In the previous pricing process, activities were split between the host merchandising system, spreadsheets, and a separate system for multi-item deals. Our customer wanted to consolidate those functions to have a single system for hard marks, clearance, sale, promotions, and deals. They were able to do that through the new system which allows them to manage their prices and then distribute to their various channels.
Future considerations. Looking into the future, our customer will be able to move price entry into the hands of the merchants rather than having a dedicated team for price entry. This will allow the pricing team to focus on more strategic initiatives. The next area of focus is store communications. They manually create a document for store managers that tells them price changes and product placement. With the addition of product placement information, the new solution will automatically generate this document. This will streamline the process the merchandisers do to get information to the stores. Finally, they are considering an Asia Pacific rollout and real time connections to systems to cut the response time further.
We were able to address the issues discussed above working with a cross functional team of merchants, eCommerce, IT staff, and pricing managers. Working with these teams, we identified the critical issues with the process and implemented new capabilities that ultimately saved them time and money.

A chain of three Jo-Mary Lakes  along the border of Penobscot County and Piscataquis County drain into the Pemadumcook Chain of Lakes in the North Maine Woods. The flow sequence is from Upper Jo-Mary Lake into Middle Jo-Mary Lake and then through Lower Jo-Mary Lake into Pemadumcook Lake.

Upper Jo-Mary Lake
The upper lake has approximately the same surface area as the lower lake, but holds a larger volume of water. Johnston Brook drains Johnston Pond and Jo-Mary Pond into the west side of the lake; and Duck Brook drains Duck Pond into the north end of the lake. Upper Jo-Mary Stream drains from the eastern side of the upper lake into Turkey Tail Lake  to the northeast. The upper lake has a native population of lake trout, and has been stocked with brook trout and land-locked Atlantic salmon. Rainbow smelt and white perch have been introduced to the lake.

Middle Jo-Mary Lake
The middle lake is the smallest of the three, although connected with Turkey Tail Lake to the southeast at the same level through two narrow necks on either side of a large island. Upper Jo-Mary Stream flows from the upper lake into Turkey Tail Lake. The northern end of the middle lake flows through a narrow neck into the southeastern corner of the lower lake at the same level. The shallow water of the middle lake becomes too warm for trout during the summer months, but the lake supports a population of chain pickerel and white perch.

Lower Jo-Mary Lake
In addition to drainage from the upper and middle lakes to the south, the lower lake receives drainage from the west through the Cooper Brook Deadwater. Leavitt Pond, Henderson Pond, and Mud Pond drain to the deadwater through Mud Brook; while Rocky Pond, Crawford Pond, Church Pond, and Cooper Pond drain through Cooper Brook. The Appalachian Trail follows Cooper Brook from Crawford Pond to the deadwater and thence follows the shoreline along the western end of the lower lake. The northeast corner of the lower lake overflows into the south side of Pemadumcook Lake only a few hundred yards (or metres) to the north. Native populations of lake trout, brook trout, and land-locked Atlantic salmon receive comparatively light angling pressure because there is no motor vehicle road to the lower lake.
