X-ward(s)
February 21, 2011 @ 9:24 am · Filed by Mark Liberman under Variation
Helen DeWitt writes with a question about "afterward(s)" and "backward(s)":
I've had comments back from my editor on a book that is to come out in late October. He mentioned that when he started going through the document he changed "afterwards" to "afterward" and "backwards" to "backward" but later stopped, so the words could be left as they stood. It might, he thought, be better to be consistent (the text was not entirely consistent).
Much of the book is written in the voice of an American salesman. I ran a couple of searches on Google (since it was not clear why the change would have been suggested in the first place), and found various people claiming that, while both were acceptable, "afterwards" and "backwards" were more characteristic of British usage. I have no idea whether this is true; if so they would be wrong for the character. My slight sense was that, in America, "afterwards" and "backwards" would be more characteristic of an oral, colloquial style (a sense that is slightly strengthened by the fact that most of the first 100 hits for "ass backward" bring up "ass backwards" or "ass-backwards" – though, on the other hand, a search for "ass backwards" gets 638,000 hits, but a search for "ass backward" gets 1,840,000, and while many of the instances without final s are presumably attributive I'm not sure how to find out how many are the s-less adverbial form). If this intuition was right the form with final s would in fact be right for the character. Even if right for "backwards" this might not be true of "afterwards" (or, for that matter, "towards," which also came up). I wondered whether you might be willing to ask readers of LL what they think.
Before going any further, please do yourself a favor and buy a copy of Helen's novel The Last Samurai. Trust me, if you're the sort of person who enjoys reading Language Log, you'll enjoy reading The Last Samurai even more.
Now that you've called your local bookstore, or placed your order on line, we can learn a fair amount about the whole X-ward(s) business with a few quick searches in available corpora. What we learn is complex, helping to explain why Helen and her editor are unsure about things.
The choice between X-ward and X-wards is subject to variation in all regions and registers.
In the case of back- and after-, American English uses a higher proportion of -ward forms than British English does (and the proportion of afterward forms in British English is very low).
In the case of backward(s), in both American and British English, conversation shows a lower proportion of -ward forms (and thus a higher proportion of -wards forms) than academic prose does.
In the case of afterward(s), American English also shows more -wards forms in conversation than in academic prose, while British English seems to go the opposite way, though there are too few -wards forms overall to be confident about the relationship.
At least in American English, these patterns seem to be stable over time.
Some more quantitative results follow. ["BNC" is the British National Corpus (100 million words); "COCA" is the Corpus of Contemporary American English at BYU (400 million words); "LDC CTS" is the LDC's collection of conversational telephone speech (25 million words)].
Summary for backward(s):
backward backwards % backward
BNC overall 632 1739 27%
BNC spoken 32 211 13%
BNC academic 141 139 50%
COCA overall 6213 3127 67%
COCA spoken 243 998 24%
COCA academic 781 310 76%
LDC CTS 37 170 18%
Summary for afterward(s):
afterward afterwards % afterward
BNC overall 38 4446 0.8%
BNC spoken 6 468 1.2%
BNC academic 1 292 0.3%
COCA spoken 312 1649 16%
There are a number of other -ward(s) words to look at; and no doubt there are effects of the house style at different publications; part of speech (adjective vs. adverb) no doubt makes a difference; and as Helen notes, particular expressions (like "ass backward(s)") no doubt also have their influence.
One more piece of quantitative evidence — in COHA, the U.S. percentage of backward usage in decades from 1840-1850 to 2000-2008 has remained quite stable:
The OED explains that
In English the history of -wards as an advb. suffix is identical with that of -ward; beside every adv. in -ward there has always existed (at least potentially) a parallel formation in -wards, and vice versa. The two forms are so nearly synonymous (the general sense of the advs. being 'in the direction indicated by the first element of the compound') that the choice between them is mostly determined by some notion of euphony in the particular context; some persons, apparently, have a fixed preference for the one or the other form. Sometimes, however, the difference in the form of the suffix corresponds to a difference in the shade of meaning conveyed, though it would not be possible to give any general rule that would be universally accepted. Where the meaning to be expressed includes the notion of manner as well as direction of movement, -wards is required, as in 'to walk backwards', 'to write backwards'. In other instances the distinction seems to be that -wards is used when the adv. is meant to express a definite direction in contrast with other directions: thus we say 'it is moving forwards if it is moving at all', but 'to come forward', not 'forwards' (see further the note on forward adv.); so 'to travel eastward' expresses generally the notion of travelling in the direction of an eastern goal, 'to travel eastwards' implies that the direction is thought of as contrasted with other possible directions. Hence –wards seems to have an air of precision which has caused it to be avoided in poetical use.
There appears to be no appreciable difference in meaning between the prepositions toward adj. and adv. and towards prep. and adv.; the latter is now, at least in British use, more common colloquially.
The OED's rather tentative effort to create a sometimes-categorical difference in meaning does not seem to stand up to trans-Atlantic test. Thus BNC has 1 instance of "walk backward" versus 15 of "walk backwards" — but COCA has 25 instances of "walk backward" versus only 17 of "walk backwards".
Nick said,
I always hear this apply to toward/towards. As a native AmE speaker though I definitely have both and I find myself producing both regularly. I think I agree with most of what the OED is saying about -ward(s) in general.
Amy Stoller said,
AmE NS here: In conversation (and in writing, too, I think) I do both in afterward/s, backward/s, but not in toward and forward, where I am completely s-less (QED). Huh. Wonder what that means.
In beside(s) I have -s exclusively except when describing actual relationships: beside the bed but besides that, … .
Spell Me Jeff said,
As a fledgling novelist in college (1980s) I subscribed to the less is more philosophy, and began the habit of dropping the s from these words. I still like efficient prose (which is not to say spare) so I still write the s-less forms. I have no idea which I choose when I speak. I suppose I'm inconsistent.
The other extreme. As a teacher of college freshmen and sophomores, I regularly distribute writing samples for discussion. I do not grade on grammar and style, nor do I teach it, because doing so is hopeless. I emphasize organization and content. Yet, invariably, as students struggle to find things to say, a handful fall back on what they think are the correct rules of usage. "Toward" is a frequent target. (As if the success of an essay turned on a single letter.)
"Shouldn't there be an 's'?"
"It's optional."
"It also has nothing to do with our discussion of transitions."
"But . . ."
How about anyway(s)?
John Lawler said,
It's fixed at [Singular] -ward in the phrase "X____ Ho!"
And I agree that individual and therefore unconventional semantic distinctions are rife in situations where everybody knows both forms but has form preferences. For instance, to me afterwards has always referred to a more serious thing than afterward, which is just a less awkward variant of after it.
Afterwards is much more expansive (I always took it to be plural, I think), and refers to an event, a story, an interaction, an epilogue, something definite,
… if there is an afterwards
Afterwards there'll be dancing.
and this is abetted by the fact that afterwards gets mixed up with After Words because I pronounce them identically.
But I wouldn't expect anybody else to understand that that's what I mean when I say afterwards; it's not a convention, just a preference.
The Ridger said,
Just a note: the novel has nothing to do with the Tom Cruise movie of the same name…
@ Cory Lubliner
I always thought anyways was purely AmE, but I've been hearing it in England recently (or seemingly recently anyway). Would I be right in suspecting that it's much more common as an adjunct at the beginning of a sentence with a pause after it than at the end?
Also a ways. I'm not sure I've ever heard it in speech but Thomas Pynchon uses it, and I can't completely parse it. Does it mean a little way or away or something else?
Speaking of Pynchon, there's a great stoned discussion of the phrase ass backwards in Gravity's Rainbow (pp683-4 in the Jonathan Cape first edition).
Pflaumbaum: Then, there is euphemistic 'bass ackwards' which I think I have heard more than 'ass backwards.'
I once had a copy editor complain that my writing had both "toward" and "towards" in roughly equal numbers, arguing that I should pick one or the other. I told him that, to my mind, the two are different (albeit closely related and synonymous) words. The OED quote above sums up how I select one or the other: "[T]he choice between them is mostly determined by some notion of euphony in the particular context…."
language hat said,
I'm glad for this post, because I've been wondering about this myself (I've been enforcing a style guide that requires -ward on the MSS I edit, but I wasn't sure what the facts of usage were — including my own).
Also, I heartily second the recommendation to buy and read Helen's first book; if you want more details, I babbled enthusiastically about it here. I'm very much looking forward to her next.
KevinM said,
Re: the possible AmE/BrE divergence. Just for fun, I googled "arse-backward" and "arse-backwards" The vast majority of the hits were for the latter. Caveat: a lot of "asses" came up, too, leading me to believe that the google heuristic captures both when one is sought.
My personal preference is "backwards," because it preserves a useful distinction — I reserve "backward" for the sense of "retarded in development." To my ear, "backward" also fits better as a description of the direction of motion, as opposed to orientation.
Sorry, should have mentioned: My ear is a mid-Atlantic, American one (and so is my other ear).
What would the be origin of the /-s/ in 'backwards?' Did it arise through analogy? With what? Presumably it would be a plural.
John said,
Amy: Are you sure you're completely s-less for forward? I thought I was, too, but then I thought of it in alternation with backwards:
Are we going backwards or forwards/*forward?
keri said,
I was going to comment that it feels like there's a slight difference between the 's' and no-'s' forms of the words, but I couldn't quite place it. Then KevinM commented, and I think he pinpointed at least one of those differences. I don't know if I actually use the forms differently, but it feels as though I might, because of the slight difference in connotation that I perceive.
As for the American vs. British usage – I am constantly typing "afterwards" into my browser, only for Firefox to give it the squiggly red underline, so I change it. I tend to think that without the 's', it should be spelled "afterword", which is a completely different thing. I'm an American speaker from N.E. Florida, by the way, with family from Chicago and Pittsburgh, and rural Florida/Georgia.
Will said,
Re: "a ways" or "a way"
I use this occasionally in casual AmE speech… I don't think the added "s" particular changes the meaning, except to make it less formal, and both forms are acceptable. The phrase itself just means some unspecified, but not insignificant, distance.
Can be modified into other more descriptive phrases, such as "a little ways" and "a long ways."
The OED's note at "-wards" dates from the first edition and is merely the personal opinion of the relevant editor (Henry Bradley?). By 1926 Fowler was already calling the putative distinction spurious or obsolete.
The Atlas of English Dialects' maps of "forward(s)" and "backward(s)" show the -s form is more widespread for the latter than the former.
Michael Johnson said,
@GeorgeW
If I recall my Old English studies correctly, it's not a plural analogy, but a genitive one.
In OE one could turn nouns into adverbials by putting them in the genitive case, e.g. 'nihtes' (at night). The analogy spread so that other adverbial expressions (anyway, backward) also got the "genitive" s.
Just to add to that, 'since' also got the "genitive" s. It went from 'syththen' to 'syththens' to 'since'.
Dan Lufkin said,
@Michael Johnson
We still do that in Modern English: I like a dram of whisky of an evening, but mornings give me a mug of tea. Swedish has a similar construction: Nu är det dags att sticka. "Now it's [the time] of day to leave.
Craig said,
Another mid-Atlantic AmE speaker here, I usually lean toward the s-forms, but, as I just showed, it's a question of euphony and the desire to get rid of the Firefox spell-checking squiggle.
@Michael Johnson, I'll also throw in that German and Dutch also have -s genitives. The German -s genitive is a regular part of the language for masculine and neuter nouns. To the best of my knowledge, the adverbial time constructions "on X(s)/in the X" are derived from this case, e.g., the days of the week (montags, dienstags, usw.) and the times of the day (morgens, mittags, abends, nachts).
Although Dutch has the same forms ('s maandags, 's dinsdags, ens.), the language underwent an official reform in 1946/1947 where it lost its case endings, so these forms are sort of a frozen artifact.
Helen DeWitt said,
Thank you – that's tremendously helpful. I should emphasize that my editor, Jeffrey Yang at New Directions, has not insisted on these or any other changes to the text, I just wanted to know what would be right for the usage of the character (I think in my own usage the s-less form predominates, but this felt vaguely wrong for the character and I now see why). Though irrelevant to the book, it's extremely cheering to learn of the extension of the OE genitive and the official abolition of case endings in Dutch in 46/47.
m.m. said,
A quick ngram has "anyways" AmE usage currently more than doubled compared to BrE.
Oddly, I've used "anyways" as long as I can remember, but have only been called on its use a few times, always on text. Never orally.
John Walden said,
Isn't there a difference between "a backward(s) glance" where the s is optional and "a backward child" where "s" would make the child face the wrong way? In fact you could even call it "a child backward"
To show how little I know about English, I'm not even clear about what the word modifying a verb-turned-into-noun is:
glance look step leap etc
Is "a backward(s) glance" the same as "a glance backward(s)"?
rootlesscosmo said,
What would the be origin of the /-s/ in 'backwards?'
Compare German "vorwärts." (A teacher at my New York high school ca. 1956 criticized a student for pronouncing German as though it were Yiddish: "You sound as if you're reading the Forverts backverts!")
Gwillim Law said,
Would it be off-topic to discuss the distinction between among and amongst, amid and amidst, while and whilst, unbeknown and unbeknownst? My understanding is that the -st forms are very rare in AmE. In the UK, Australia, and Canada, there seem to be some people who think the -st forms are more formal, some who think they're merely pretentious, and some who choose on the basis of euphony.
Checking up on that in the BNC and the COHA, I find that the -st forms are in fact less common in both AmE and BrE. The frequency of the -st forms in AmE has tended to decline over time. Unbeknownst is an exception. It has the highest relative frequency in AmE historically (66%), and even more so in the recent past; but its absolute frequency is low, so it has only a weak influence on the totals. Amidst is the most popular of the variants in AmE for the period 2000-2009 (21%). Combining the four pairs, the -st forms account for 12% of the total frequency in the BNC, and 2.7% in the COHA. Considering only the 2000s, it's 1.2% in the COHA.
There's an entertaining discussion of "ass backwards" in Gravity's Rainbow.
I would prefer to hear
"You've got that ass backwards"
"He entered the room ass backward"
That's just by ear, I haven't attempted to craft a general rule.
dglp said,
'Then, there is euphemistic 'bass ackwards' which I think I have heard more than 'ass backwards.''
Agreed. But it doesn't come across strongly as having or not having the s. I'm as likely to say bass ackward as bass ackwards. And I think Google should take account of the Spoonerific spelling in their results.
As an AmE speaker in Br (E), I note the addition of -s to various things, and wonder if there's a colloquialism that isn't based on philosophy. For example, why does Safeway become Safeways? Is it a case of greengrocer's apostrophe in reverse? Or do people just habitually add an -s to certain words? Could that be the case with -wards?
samboha said,
Regarding dglp's question about "Safeway" > "Safeways" : I've noticed this occurring a lot lately among people I know, almost exclusively with place names and retail locations – Kroger(s), Foxfield(s), even Mellow Mushroom(s). I mentally process it, and perhaps the speakers do too, as a possessive morpheme ("Mellow Mushroom's") in analogy to other establishments actually named after their owners. I suspect this has provided the tragic basis for a personal bias against the "afterwards," "towards," and "backwards" forms.
For the record, I'm an AmE speaker at college in central Virginia.
S-Series II: Backward(s) « Motivated Grammar said,
[…] we have for the back story for backward(s), what's their current status? Mark Liberman had a well-researched profile of these words on Language Log a few months ago, and his two main conclusions were […]
Carolyn said,
I came over from the Motivated Grammar post to see if anybody had said what KevinM said about the separate color of 'backward' as an adjective, as applied to, say, a region where indoor plumbing was not yet common. I agree with him there, and also on the movement versus location distinction. (I might pull a car backward into a space, unless I noticed that only one other car was in backwards.)
Also happened to notice that the percentage given for 'COCA spoken', in the first table, should be 19 or 20 per cent, not 24.

Jenn Lyons Interview - The House of Always
8:00 AM JBN, Jean Book Nerd Blog Tour, Jenn Lyons Interview - The House of Always No comments
Photo Credit: Matthew & Nicole Nicholson, Dim Horizon Studio
Jenn Lyons's childhood was spent in the safe havens of local libraries and bookstores, where even as her artistic talents began to develop she continued to nurture her love of science-fiction, fantasy, and noir detective stories. Being pale, not a friend of sunlight, and not much of a morning person, she set her sights on a career that would allow her to stay indoors or work at night (her favorite career pick was 'cat burglar') but she was devastated when she discovered that she would not, in fact, ever be able to marry Batman. Older but wiser, she turned from the life of a jewel thief to tackle a career as a graphic artist and illustrator, spending the next 20 years working in print media and advertising. A woman with too many hobbies (a list that included video games, fountain pens, table-top RPGs, LARPing, comic books, and costume design), Lyons was irresistibly drawn to making things up storytelling.
After making a dramatic shift in careers from graphic artist to video game producer, Jenn Lyons dedicated herself to writing. The Ruin of Kings and the Name of All Things, the first two books in Lyons's five-book debut epic fantasy series from Tor Books, A Chorus of Dragons, are available now. The third book in the series, the Memory of Souls, arrives August 2020.
Jenn Lyons lives in Atlanta, Georgia, with her husband, Michael Lyons (who is also a writer — and may or may not be Batman), a bunch of cats, and a whole lot of tea.
Publisher : Tor Books (May 11, 2021)
Hardcover : 544 pages
Praise for THE MEMORY OF SOULS
"Lyons has cleverly taken the epic fantasy tropes of prophecy and lineage and stood them on their heads, all while delving deep into her multidimensional characters and spinning great battles with high body counts." ―Booklist, starred review
Praise for THE RUIN OF KINGS
"[A] jaw-dropping, action-packed story of betrayal, greed, and grand-scale conspiracy . . . Lyons ties it all together seamlessly to create literary magic. Epic fantasy fans looking for a virtually un-put-down-able read should look no further." ―Kirkus, starred review
"Rich, cruel, gorgeous, brilliant, enthralling and deeply, deeply satisfying. I loved it." ―Lev Grossman, author of The Magicians
"It was one hell of a ride. I gobbled it up and was hungry for more." ―Glen Cook, author of The Black Company
"The Ruin of Kings is a fascinating story about a compellingly conflicted young hero in an intriguingly complex world." ―L. E. Modesitt, Jr., author of the Recluse series
"A thriller plot of revenge and loyalty with a get-under-your-skin and keep-you-reading-all-night mystery at its heart. I loved it."―John Gwynne, author of Malice
"The Ruin of Kings revs up with the glitz of a high-speed, multi-level video game, with extreme magic and a teen hero with angst." ―Janny Wurts, author of The Curse of the Mistwraith
Greatest thing you learned at school.
That you're the only person who can truly decide if and how you learn.
When/how did you realize you had a creative dream or calling to fulfill?
It's more that I don't remember a time when I didn't think I had a creative calling. I could always draw, and it was always assumed I'd go into art in some fashion. It took a little longer for me to realize my passion for telling stories far exceed my desire for illustration.
Beyond your own work (of course), what is your all-time favorite book and why? And what is your favorite book outside of your genre?
I honestly don't have one. Not a single favorite book. There's so much out there – amazing, transcendent works—that each have their own strengths and weaknesses. I could never pick just a single one.
The number of people who have contacted me to tell me how my books have touched them, how important those books have been in their lives. This was unintended. I wanted these books to be personal and meaningful, of course, but I didn't expect that they'd be quite so inspirational. I'm absolutely humbled by the knowledge that they are.
My job. I loved working in video games, but the hours (and the commute) in Los Angeles made it basically impossible to write. It wasn't until I moved somewhere that had a much shorter commute that I started making real progress on my first novel.
Because storytelling shapes our values, our culture, what we think is important. Storytelling can either create empathy or destroy it.
Can you tell us when you started THE HOUSE OF ALWAYS, how that came about?
Much as I'd love to give you a sexy, fun story, the truth is that this is the fourth book in a five book series – it came about because I'd finished writing the third book. (Publishing contracts do not wait for the muse to strike.)
TEN FAVORITE GUY/GIRLS FROM YOUR BOOKS, INCLUDING RANDOM FACTS ABOUT THEM.
1. Kihrin – is a seventh son of a seventh son (that might have meant more if this universe placed any great important on the number seven)
2. Janel – has an adopted daughter (Ninavis) older than she is.
3. Teraeth – has two living siblings, Xaloma and Sharanakal, who are both dragons.
4. Thurvishar – is the only one of the main four who is not technically of any kind of royal blood (no, being the son of the Emperor does *not* count.)
5. Senera – once traded murders with her childhood best friend. (i.e. I'll kill yours if you kill mine.)
6. Tyentso – the inspiration for the Glittering Feast came from "The Roses of Heliogabalus" a painting by Sir Lawrence Alma-Tadema depicting an infamous instance where a Roman emperor hosted a banquet where he then proceeded to kill all the guests by smothering them with rose petals.
7. Talea – yes, WAS originally meant to be a minor character. Obviously that changed.
8. Dorna – absolutely doesn't want anyone to know that she was once married to a Joratese noble.
9. Galen – was plotting with his wife Sheloran to take over House D'Mon before the start of book 1.
10. Sheloran – See above.
For those who are unfamiliar with your series; A CHORUS OF DRAGONS, how would you introduce it?
The series is about a young man who finds out that he's the focal point for a series of prophecies, but instead of saving the world, he's supposed to destroy it – which isn't really a thing he wants to do, especially since there's a trapped dark god who seems like a better candidate for that role. Except that in trying to stop the release of that god, he's been forced to reassess who's right and who's wrong in this scenario. At the end of book 3, he does a potentially rash thing to try to make matters right, and in book 4, he and all his loved ones pay the consequences.
TEN RANDOM FACTS ABOUT THE HOUSE OF ALWAYS
1. Talon was originally meant to die at the end of book 1. And during book 3. Basically, Talon's so hard to kill I'm not even managing it and I'm the author!
2. The fact that The House of Always was written about twelve people confined to a house they couldn't leave while I too was confined to a house I couldn't leave because of the Covid-19 Pandemic is entirely coincidental.
3. The dragons featured in this book, Drehemia and Gorokai, are related to Argas and Taja, respectively.
4. Thirteen people are inside the Lighthouse, not twelve.
5. Once again, all interior artwork was drawn by me.
6. The floorplan of the Lighthouse was inspired by several real-world examples.
7. I cut around 30k of subplot involving pirates.
8. Janel's little sister Eledore was originally supposed to be a major character in this story, but was cut.
9. The scenes that explained that Kalindra had married Jarith originally appeared in book 1, but had been cut – which I forgot when it came time to re-introduce Kalindra again!
10. Nikali Milligreest is named after his uncle – who is secretly Teraeth's father, "Doc" Terindel.
What is the first job you have had?
I worked as a graphic artist at an Alphagraphics, mostly making business cards and letterheads and such. Which I had no experience with at all. I was sat down in front of a computer with a stack of job orders and the program manuals and told I had a week to finish it all. I did.
When you looked in the mirror first thing this morning, what was the first thing you thought?
Is it actually time to get up or did I wake up too early again?
Most horrifying dream you have ever had?
I used to have what I called my Apocalypse Dreams. That was where I'd dream of some major, massive catastrophe. Earthquakes, or tornado swarms, or multiple nuclear explosions. Always completely devastating.
For fans of Brandon Sanderson and Patrick Rothfuss, The House of Always is the fourth epic fantasy in Jenn Lyons' Chorus of Dragons series that began with The Ruin of Kings.
What if you were imprisoned for all eternity?
In the aftermath of the Ritual of Night, everything has changed.
The Eight Immortals have catastrophically failed to stop Kihrin's enemies, who are moving forward with their plans to free Vol Karoth, the King of Demons. Kihrin has his own ideas about how to fight back, but even if he's willing to sacrifice everything for victory, the cost may prove too high for his allies.
Now they face a choice: can they save the world while saving Kihrin, too? Or will they be forced to watch as he becomes the very evil they have all sworn to destroy.

As we touched upon in the first blog in our Amazon IPI series, Amazon's Inventory Performance Indicator puts Amazon sellers at risk of higher fees and storage restrictions if improperly managed.
However, the good news is that there are a number of steps you can take to keep your IPI score at an optimal level and your Amazon fees low (with a little help from TradeGecko).
What factors influence Amazon's IPI?
Your sell-through rate refers to the number of products you sell in relation to how much stock you have on hand.
Amazon wants its sellers' sell-through rates to be as high as possible because it means more stock is leaving their warehouses faster.
Ideal sell-through rates depend on a number of factors, including your industry and the types of products you sell. However, if you notice that your sell-through rate is lower than usual, consider how you can move more goods off the shelves and only stock what you need to.
Amazon's 'excess inventory percentage' is another way of describing overstocks i.e. keeping more items in stock than are needed to meet demand. In most cases, overstocking comes down to poor inventory management practices that lead to too much stock, or the wrong type of stock, hanging around in warehouses.
While you want to avoid overstocks, it's also important to keep popular items in stock to avoid missed sales opportunities. If you go out of stock on a popular product, your lost sales represent a missed opportunity to increase your IPI score.
It also makes sense for you to keep your in-stock rate high on popular items, because it ensures your highest-selling products are available any time a customer wants to make a purchase, and it helps improve your sell-through rate.
Utilizing key sales reports generated by an inventory management system to see which products sell best at different times of year, and make sure those products are stocked when they need to be.
Doing an ABC inventory analysis to categorize products and focus on keeping 'A' products in stock at all times. Find out more about how to do an ABC analysis of products here.
Stranded inventory refers to stock being held at an Amazon fulfillment center that isn't associated with an active Amazon listing.
Inventory can become stranded for a number of reasons. For example, the listing for that product may not be live, or may have never been created, resulting in stored inventory that is accumulating storage fees but can't be sold.
Amazon penalizes for stranded inventory because it costs the company to hold stock that will potentially never be sold. It also costs you money to store that inventory, so it's in your best interest to fix stranded inventory as soon as possible.
To fix your stranded inventory, access the Fix Stranded Inventory page from the Manage Inventory tab to remove or manually edit and relist your items.
Above all, Amazon's IPI measures the effectiveness of your inventory management, so it makes sense to utilize an inventory management system that can update and track stock levels for you.
TradeGecko integrates with Amazon and FBA to ensure accuracy of stock levels across all your warehouse locations, including Amazon fulfillment centers. Orders coming from Amazon are automatically synced to TradeGecko, so you can see real-time statuses of orders and stock from one place.
With these capabilities in tow, you can ensure you're ticking all the right boxes for a high IPI score without any added manual effort.

Do you dream that, while you have been revelling, she has been idly whimpering in her chamber?
I left my carriage half a mile below, and have been revelling in the sun and air.
And he went in to fight, revelling like a giant in the red lust of killing.
Alone with Jack I kept on along the steep trail, revelling in my freedom.
What rivers, how sunshiny and revelling, are the Brembo and the Serio!
She had some glorious moments, revelling in the joy of creation.
How had the happiness in which she fancied she saw him revelling been constituted?
Tom Sawyer was walking the stage and "revelling in his power."
She had stood arm in arm with him, revelling in the riot of the open seas.

Strategies to Increase Diversity in Rare Genetic Disease Trials
Issue Archives, June 2022, Therapeutics
Diversity in all clinical research—including rare disease research—is currently under scrutiny, partly because of disparities experienced with COVID-19. Rightly so, as data show that 86 percent of genomics studies to date have involved people of European ancestry, which has limited the potential benefits of genomic research for many populations. Rebecca Sutphen, Co-Founder and Chief Medical Officer of InformedDNA, and Board-Certified Genetic Counselor Karmen Trzupek analyze strategies to increase diversity in rare genetic disease trials.

An Open Letter to Tony Abbott
Posted: June 27, 2015 | Author: Victoria Rollison | Filed under: Open Letters |20 Comments
Dear Tony Abbott,
I will try to keep this letter brief as I know you have a short attention span and since you've never responded to my previous correspondence, I can only guess it was because they were longer than your brain capacity could absorb. The main topic of this letter is to let you know that I think you're an opportunistic, petty, vindictive creep and that you're running the country as if you would like to imagine that all Australians are equally as petty and vindictive as you. But we're not. And you're not going to win your soon to be announced election because we're better than that.
Over the last 24 hours, Barack Obama, the greatest President America has ever had and possibly the best leader the world has ever seen, has once again shown what it is to be a visionary, compassionate, highly intelligent, gracious, composed and dignified statesman. He sang Amazing Grace at the funeral of Charleston murder victim Rev. Clementa Pinckney as if it was the most natural thing in the world for him to lead the chorus. He celebrated the decision by the US Supreme Court to recognise the constitutional legality of gay marriage by tweeting with hashtag #LoveWins. Obama is a giant of our world, whether you agree with his politics or not. And next to him, your pettiness, your aggression, your predilection for the path of least residence to the lowest common denominator makes you a meaningless flea. A blip that will be forgotten by history as a negative, sloganeering, fear-inducing, mean spirited low point of Australia's history.
In the last 24 hours, you and your government have shown your true colours. With three terrorism attacks overseas in France, Kuwait and Tunisia, the pleasure in your eyes, the excitement at having a scare mechanism, the opportunity for you to use these events politically, make me feel ill. You've said the death cult is coming for Australians. You're ramping up the rhetoric on threat levels which have absolutely no grounding in reality. You're using the deaths of innocent people at the hands of barbaric, violent, evil, yet distant, criminals to further your own political cause. If you can't see how low it is that you enjoy, and take pleasure out of these opportunities to be a scaremonger, let me tell you, it's unedifying to the extreme. We know you're only talking about national security because you've comprehensively failed to deliver vision, policies, negotiation, competency and functional government in any policy area so far in your dysfunctional term as Prime Minister. You therefore rely on plane crashes, on sieges carried out by mentally ill lone-wolves, and on the tragedies of people in far-away places to make yourself feel better about yourself. To keep your flag collection multiplying. For opportunistic photo stunts. Petty. Vindictive. Creepy.
And of course, everything you do, everything you have ever done in opposition and seamlessly into government is just about wrecking progressive policies with your negative 'always on' election campaign. We hear this morning that you've already produced negative attack ads about Bill Shorten. Is Shorten the first thing you think about when you wake up? I bet he is. You are the Prime Minister of arguably the best country in the world and all you care about is bashing your political rivals. Of giving jobs to your boys. You want to unpick every good progressive policy this country has ever delivered and take us back to a yesterday that none of us are interested in revisiting. Wrecking health and education funding. Destroying technological advancement. Wrecking environmental policy. Wrecking whole industries and destroying thousands of jobs. Depressing consumer confidence and in turn destroying economic growth. Wrecking social security. Dog whistling about asylum seekers while they are treated in detention centres no better than captives of the ISIS 'death cult'. Attacking the union movement. Your nasty little thought bubbles on user-pays public education and wielding your wrecking ball into highly successful industry super funds are just the latest of the daily onslaught of terror you wreck on ordinary Australians. And why do you do it? For the same reason as a dog licks his balls. Because he can.
I dare you to go to an early election Tony Abbott. I dare you to believe that Australia wants to give you another chance to do even more damage to the fabric of our community. While you use national security as your play thing, we can see what you're trying to do. Your leaked memo made that very clear. And when I compare you, the petty, vindictive, creepy flea, to the likes of Barack Obama, I want to cry with frustration. The sooner you give me and the rest of Australia the chance to vote you out, the better.
20 Comments on "An Open Letter to Tony Abbott"
Tory Tony only exists to serve the very rich Victoria, he doesn't care about you or me its Gina and Jamie he cares about. He is betting that the Australian apathy will see him through on his mission to turn Australia into a carbon copy of the United States of America, or as some people call it mistakenly 'America.'
You've said everything I'd like to say. The rage and frustration with which I'm forced to watch TA play political tiddleywinks is almost overwhelming. He has no understanding of Australia or Australians, and what is worse, no interest in anything beyond his own political stardom and the continuing financial benefit of his own backers.
But unless the Labour Party gets its act together, he could win the next election. That is what really, really terrifies me.
Conrad says:
Thank You Victoria. Can you believe: on the ABC The Drum website is an article by Barrie Cassidy titled "The old Tony Abbott is back and going strong … On top of his game". And yet Cassidy is meant to be a top reporter, host of Insiders. Little wonder I abandoned watching it … Once again, Victoria, Thank You for your expressed outrage (pity that Bill Shorten so often joins in Abbott's toxic moves).
Yes a big write up on Abbott from Barry and I will wait and see what the next couple of polls will have to say about Captain Abbott and his fix it kids.
Taswegian1957 says:
I could not have put it better myself. I feel so angry, embarrassed, worried and depressed by these people. The election cannot come soon enough for me.
eroticmoustache says:
I see you wrote another letter to yourself. Well done. Hope it makes you happy.
Allan Wilson says:
"eroticmoustache" …(sic)…..The fact that in today's Australia, perceptive and thoughtful Citizens' efforts at calling-out their pathocratic incompetent Prime Minister over his blighted (and Nation-Blighting) actions and utterances can be described by the pathocrats' partisans (such as yourself) as "…writing another letter to yourself"… causes me more apprehension than all the Islamic Fundamentalists whose barbarities feed this man's (and his acolytes') hunger for a rising tide of fear-driven acquiescence among the populace to facilitate the incumbent pathocracy's imposintion of political, fiscal, and social regression upon our society. (The Enemy Within outnumber the Enemies at our Gates).
Geoff Geyer says:
Abbott is the insanity we got because of the low life spineless,gutless cowards of the Main Stream Media. Keep up the great work Victoria.
spinifexandpearls says:
We also got abbott insanity because of the extreme malfunction of the ALP in their last term of government. And if they dont get themselves a decent leader and start behaving like a viable opposition then we will get more of this hideous, nasty joke for a government. It would be alright if the CLP were polling at 12% but they're not. Half the country is with them. That's what's truly horrifying.
P.s. thanks for the letter Victoria. I agree with all of it except im not so sure that he will lose the next election.
Dale Phillips says:
Top letter! Couldn't haver said it better myself! In My Name you can berate him to hell! Im no longer a religious person but I do recall the bible saying that in the last days Satan will be sent into the world to do his dastardly deeds! He fits the bill!
A Rees says:
What she said!
evelyn antonysen says:
Abbott is indeed scary. Right from the start I felt he was the worst type of "boy boy" who likes playing "war games"…. if you know what I mean.
Anna V Savelesky says:
Hey Sir Abbott sounds like some of our congressmen. That's why many of us love Mr Obama and cry out in grief at the others. All tarred with the same brush as Sir Abbott. So sorry for you. Vote the Rascal out!!
PS. I can comment because I was born in Sydney 72 years ago.
Great letter Victoria.
l really do feel that Australia is under attack and we are backing a oligarchy.We have adopted terrorist ways against certain sections of the community and legitimate organisations. Our current policies divide our nation rather than unite.The Asian region, in which we live,is subjected to policies that provoke our neighbors rather than include and respect.
The conservatives(Liberals) are the people who we should fear most, home grown and nasty.
Its lucky on our side we respect democracy,freedom ,truth and natural justice and will never support the views of far right maniacs like the current Federal government with their fear mongering ways as a true reflection of the Australian people…………..bring on the election and lets vote them out
Section omitted
l really do feel that Australia is under attack and we are backing a oligarchy.
Dear Tony Abbott, I dare you to go to an early election | The Lab says:
[…] This open letter was first published on Victoria's blog, which you can read here. […]
Obama was a better president than Lincoln, Washington and FDR?
Possibly better than Churchill?
I don't even know where to begin…
melba says:
The most disturbing thing is that the Liberal party delude themselves that they won the federal election in 2013, Labor lost it.
Another disturbing thing is the number of aussies who say that they would vote for Turnbull if he was leading Liberal… He was among the Liberal party that supported the inhumane 2014 budget handed down by the worst treasurer in australia's history.
The current personnel in the Liberal party are all antipathic to anyone in this country who doesn't have secure employment, people with disabilities and young university graduates who are still being demonised because there aren't enough jobs to go around but plenty of big businesses being granted 457 visas to bring workers in from overseas to undercut our kids on wages.
May commonsense prevail in the next federal election, it was flushed down the toilet during the last one.


The disciples could have asked the Lord for a variety of different things but they asked the Lord to teach them to pray. We will echo that request in this class. Let's seek the Lord - through His Word - to grow in the practice and discipline of prayer. We will consider the priority of prayer, what prayer is and is not, what hinders our prayers and finally some practical strategies to aid the growth of your prayer life. Prayer is really about pursuing a closer walk with Christ. Join us as we do exactly that.

Rosebud is a seaside town in Metropolitan Melbourne on the Mornington Peninsula, Victoria, Australia approximately 75 km South of Melbourne's central business district.
Elevation:9 m
Local Government Area:Mornington Peninsula Shire Council
Rosebud is a seaside town in Metropolitan Melbourne on the Mornington Peninsula, Victoria, Australia approximately 75 km South of Melbourne's central business district.It is wedged between the lower slopes of Arthurs Seat, the shores of Port Phillip and the plains of Boneo.Its local government area is the Shire of Mornington Peninsula.Rosebud is a popular tourist resort with families who appreciate its sandy beaches and shallow waters. # History Originally known as Banksia Point, Rosebud began life as a fishing community in the early 1850s.On 2 June 1855, the cargo vessel Rosebud, owned by one of the colony's best known pastoralists Edward Hobson, was washed over the large sandbars and onto the beach.The burgeoning community made off with the cargo of damask and household goods, but the wreck remained for many years as the locals slowly stripped its hull to use in the construction of houses.It became commonplace to call the area "The Rosebud" in reference to the ship, which was shortened to "Rosebud" as the last vestiges of the ship disappeared.Officially the term Rosebud referred only to Rosebud Village, the blocks on the foreshore west of Eeling Creek (now an underground drain between Tom Salt Park and the camping ground).Land on the south side of "the road to Portsea" was described as being in Wannaeue; this was the name of the parish that extended south to Limestone Road.Today the name is recalled by a small street between Rosebud Parade and Ninth Avenue.The parish went from The Avenue to Government Road in Rye, but also included the Arthurs Seat pre-emptive right (now McCrae and Arthurs Seat).Peter Wilson gives much detail about the buyers of Rosebud Village allotments.Lime Land Leisure mentions a "Mr Gomm, of whom little is known."Ray Gibb's books about the Gomms (pioneers of Hobart, St Kilda, Mentone, Rosebud, Dromana, Hastings and Somerville) and the Adams family will be available from the Dromana Historical Society by the end of 2011. Allotment 20, between The Avenue and Parkmore Road, was not "settled" at the same time as the rest of the land to Boneo Road.This was supposedly due to an arrangement with Captain Henry Everest Adams, because he had been carrying convicts between Van Diemen's Land and Melbourne.This transport was probably provided in 1840 when there was a drastic labour shortage in Melbourne. Isaac White who purchased allotment 19 (west to Adams Avenue), knew Adams and probably cared for the Captain's wife while he was away at sea. He probably settled lot 19 on behalf of the Captain, who owned it by 1864.In the Argus of 12 March 1883, the Government advertised land in the village of Wannaeue on allotment 20, Wannaeue.No parish map has made mention of this village.The Adams family had a guest house, Hopetoun House, named after the Governor (a frequent guest), on the site of the car wash near McCrae Plaza.It was later renamed Merlyn Lodge.Robert Adams sold allotment 19 and the part north of Rosemore Road was subdivided but the ownership of the rest reverted to him in the Bust.Parkmore was built in 1896 by Albert Holloway and bought by the Clemengers in 1908. The rest of the land to Boneo Road was granted to speculators.Allotment 18 (west to Jetty Road) became the property of Charles BLAKEY and then Robert White, after 18 February 1874, when the 152.5 acre allotment was advertised in the Argus.It was pointed out that a block, 66 x 330 feet, fronting the beach road, had been sold.As this was the only block separately owned for decades, it had to be Lot 86, which William Edwards mortgaged to Captain Adams in August 1878.As the land was of little value, it is strange that it was considered to provide enough security.Edwards borrowed 128 pounds and nine shillings, to be repaid with interest on 30 June 1880.McCrae was called Dromana until about 70 years ago, as the steamers had made Dromana's location well known.Isobel Moresby said that Jack Jones had built a store on the corner in about 1900 but it was built about a decade earlier just after the Lake v Jones case. Allotment 17 (west to Norm Clark Walk) came into the ownership of the Woolcotts.William Gomm was farming it in 1876 but returned to fishing when subdivision began. George and Susan Peatey were among the first buyers and the site for the state school was bought a few years later.Later residents were the McDowells after whom a street was named. Allotments 16 and 15 (west to First Avenue) became the Clacton on-Sea estate.Allotment 14 (west to Boneo Road), granted to Hugh Glass of Flemington House, became small farms:Randall's, then Rigg's Hindhope, and Coupar's The Thicket. By 1930 Hindhope Park was operating on the site of Rosebud Plaza.This had pine cabins for tourist accommodation.Some of the land was subdivided as the Hindhope Estate by 1920 but the tourist facility was still running in the mid-1960s.Walter and Charlie Burnham, fishermen from Sorrento, were two early purchasers on the estate in about 1914.(See Steve Burnam's website for Vin Burnham's story of the early days.) Some of the famous residents (permanent and holiday) of Rosebud were Judith Mavis Cock (Judith Durham), Arthur Boyd and William John Ferrier. Judith spent her first six summers in the weatherboard house that stood on the west side of Durham Place. It is well documented on many websites that the 1995 Australian of the Year launched his fabulous career as a painter from the age of 16 while living in Rosebud from 1936-9 with his grandfather. One of young Arthur's paintings was of the Burnhams' jetty at the end of Boneo Rd; it is reproduced in Peter Wilson's "On the Road to Rosebud" alongside photos of the jetty. It has recently been discovered through title documents that the Boyd cottage is still standing at 62 Rosebud Pde. Ferrier won acclaim from all over Australia, and probably a job in the lighthouse branch, because of his heroic rescue of two of the seven crewmen of the La Bella at Warrnambool. He owned 858 Pt Nepean Rd for a time before moving to Queenscliff, naming his house in Beach St "Rosebud". A descendant, Lewis Ferrier, jokingly called the Harbour Master at Queenscliff, gave the same name to his fishing boat.The Queenscliffe Maritime Museum website shows some paintings of ships that Ferrier did on the internal timber lining of the South Pile Lighthouse. Two farm homesteads remain among subdivision housing in Rosebud: 19 Mitchell St and 50 First Avenue. The latter was the Hindhope Villa on lots 95 and 96 of the Hindhope Estate (with 14 acres of grounds, as advertised in the Argus in 1914, which the land plan shows was west of Rosebrook St.) Peter Wilson's book, "On the Road to Rosebud", gives excellent detail about Lot 18 (Henry Potton's Farm, the suicide), Lot 17 (church, shops) and the Clacton-on-Sea estate. The settlement remained rudimentary for many years.A school began operating in 1884 and moved into purpose-built premises three years later.The first store wasn't opened until Welshman Jackie Jones began selling goods from an upturned boat in the late 1880s.Rosebud suffered from a lack of direct access to Melbourne.When a pier was finally built in 1888, it failed to extend into the deep water, so ferries and passenger ships from the metropolis had to dock at Dromana, a larger town about eight kilometers to the north. A road was formed by clearing a path at Anthony's Nose, the point where Arthurs Seat (305 metres) meets the sea, halfway between Rosebud and Dromana.This, at last, gave Rosebud a road connection to surrounding towns and Melbourne.The Post Office then opened on 27 March 1889.Although some companies offered ferry passengers a ride to Rosebud after they disembarked at Dromana, the bulk of the tourism trade went to Dromana and nearby Arthurs Seat, while Dromana remained the transportation hub for goods brought by road and sea. In the early twentieth century, developers attempted to market Rosebud as an English-style seaside resort with the creation of the Clacton-on-Sea estate (today known as the "Avenues").Vacant land was offered at just two pounds per block in an effort to stimulate investment in the area.Take up was slow; society wasn't affluent enough to allow many of the middle class to own holiday homes so far from the city.This slow growth continued in the inter-war years; the township consisted of about ten shops and a presbyterian church, built of wood on a single day in 1923.The first pub (the Rosebud Hotel) wasn't built until 1939-40.Built in the prevailing art deco style, it remains the only pub in the town to this day. Local businessmen had noticed a slowly growing phenomenon in the late 1930s and 1940s – the popularity of camping on the Rosebud foreshore; a cheap and interesting alternative to staying at guesthouses or hotels.After World War II, aided by the explosion in the number of people owning a car, camping at Rosebud over the Christmas-New Year holidays became a tradition for many Melbourne and Victorian families.The Rosebud Foreshore Committee was set up to administer the area and take bookings, which are now made twelve months in advance.In the 21st century, camping on the foreshore has taken on a cultural dimension and there are families who are fourth and even fifth generation visitors.Many Victorians reminisce about Summer holidays at Rosebud. By the 1960s, Rosebud had become the largest town on the southern Peninsula, complete with a shopping centre and extensive sporting facilities.In time it became home to an increasing number of permanent residents, including 'sea change' retirees.New housing estates have developed in the last five years, including the Peninsula Sands Estate in Rosebud South, home to many young families.The town's shopping strip and most of its amenities are located on an extended strip of the Nepean Highway, which runs parallel to the beach.Rosebud proper extends from Lonsdale Street (the border with McCrae) for three kilometres to Boneo Road, where Rosebud West (Capel Sound) begins, while Rosebud South is a pocket of suburban streets directly south of Rosebud on the lower slopes of Arthur's Seat. In 2016, after a controversial, and at times bitter balloting process, Mornington Peninsula Shire approved the name "Capel Sound" to replace "Rosebud West". This was done to align with the Federal Government's preference for town names without directional reference. It was also seen as an opportunity to improve the image of a suburb previously viewed as being somewhat less socially acceptable to the wider community. Some residents fancied the old name had a negative effect on land and property values. Other residents had grown up in Rosebud West. They expressed dismay and annoyance that their town's traditional name might be taken from them. Nevertheless, after a long and at times painful campaign, the name "Capel Sound", taken from a small bay area to the North of the shopping village, was the one which emerged to grace the town's signboards for ever more. Rosebud is shielded by camping grounds lined with banksias, tea tree and sheoak. During the summer months and as late as Easter campers can be found in these areas.Rosebud is one of the main towns on the Mornington Peninsula mostly because of its shopping areas.Rosebud Plaza (formerly known as Port Phillip Plaza) contains 70 stores including Target, Kmart, Coles, Woolworths, Australia Post, The Reject Shop, Sportsgirl, Jay Jays, Ozmosis and Daniel's Doughnuts.The second shopping centre in the town is the Rosebud Beach Shopping Centre which includes Woolworths and nearby is Peninsula Cinemas. The Public Library is located at the Rosebud Central Shopping Centre. The Centre also contains the Dimmeys discount retail store and many specialty stores including a Hairdresser, a Cafe, Pet Store and a Butchers. There is a shopping strip in Capel Sound, along Point Nepean Road. # Weather Rosebud has a temperate coastal climate, and is usually several degrees cooler than Melbourne.The annual maximum mean temperature is 19.1 °C. # Things to do

The bomb was handed in as part of a weapons amnesty organised by Devon and Cornwall Police.
A bomb disposal squad was called in after a man handed in a bomb in a carrier bag at a police station.
The unexpected package was handed over at Heavitree Road Police Station in Exeter.
Royal Navy bomb disposal experts from Plymouth were sent to the scene on Sunday morning.
They discovered the bomb, which dates back to the 1950s, has been used as a doorstop for the last 40 years and had already been deactivated.
But at one point the police said they did consider evacuating the entire station in Heavitree Road.
The man told officers that he had been using the bomb as a doorstop for 40 years, but wanted to get rid of it now because it was too rusty.
Police told the Plymouth Herald that the man had brought in the unexploded bomb as part of a force-wide weapons amnesty.
This isn't the first time police have received strange items as part of the amnesty, which ends today.
On the first day of the campaign two rifles, two handguns and a starter pistol were handed in at Torquay police enquiry office.
Within days Camborne station received a Second World War Webley revolver.
While an air rifle, a revolver and two Thompson sub-machine guns were handed in at Crownhill police station.
A police spokesman said: "A member of the public arrived at the Heavitree Road police station in Exeter with an unexploded bomb in a carrier bag.
They added: "The projectile was probably from the 1950s and it is being destroyed in a controlled explosion."

Q: Updating  text with value from the previous page I'm redirecting the user from another page when they click the "Edit" button using the code below.
$('#editListButton').click(function(){
    window.location.href = "http://localhost/yyy.php";  //redirect

   // Changes that need to be made
   $('#defaultText').remove();
   $('#orderList').append('<p' + 'message'  + '
');
});

The page redirects to the predefined link, after which I need update a html
 tag with text. But the code coming from the other page does nothing. How can change the text in the div tag?

A: Pass it in the url.
$('#editListButton').click(function(){
   window.location.href = "http://localhost/yyy.php?message";  //redirect
});

Then on the other page
var url = window.location.href.split('?');
var msg = url[1];

$('#defaultText').remove();
$('#orderList').append('
' + msg  + '
');

A: Once you've triggered an operation that's going to reload the entire page, browsers (not all, but it seems like most) will just quit doing anything to the current page, essentially ignoring any DOM updates from the event loop.
To get around this, it generally works to delay the redirect with a short timeout:
setTimeout(function() {
  window.location.href = "http://localhost/yyy.php";
}, 1);

Now the browser doesn't know that the page is to be reloaded, so it'll obey your DOM update request.
edit — If what you're expecting (and it's not really clear from the OP, but it's hinted at in a comment below) is that the code after updating the location should affect the new page, well that's just not how things work. You can put that code in the new page (and pass parameters via the URL you're loading, if necessary) and have it run there, or else you can change the architecture completely and load your new code via ajax.

A: There are many ways to pass information from one page to another. To give an idea of the concept, somewhat in relation to the question posted, here's one:
Page A:
$('#editListButton').click(function(){
  window.location.href = "http://localhost/yyy.php?action=remove&value=" +
    encodeURIComponent('ashdahjsgfgasfas');
});

Page B:
var action = /(?:\?|&)action=([^&$]+)/.exec(location.search)
if ( 'remove' === action[1] ) {
    var value = /(?:\?|&)value=([^&$]+)/.exec(location.search)
    $('#defaultText').remove();
    $('#orderList').append('
' + value[1]  + '
');
}

GAME DAY: What's going on in Braehead Arena
The weekend starts here for Glasgow Clan, sponsored by Aspray Glasgow West and it's the first of a double header against one of our Scottish rivals.

An interesting game awaits as both these sides look to pull themselves away from the bottom end of the table.
Box Office Open
The Braehead Arena is open between 3pm and 7.30pm and is there to accommodate game day buyers due to the cost of living crisis.
