Welcome to this months issue of Internet Marketing Tips Newsletter.
Web site usability and presentation is perhaps the most important factor in any web design. This is the driving factor that gives your visitors a positive, professional impression of your company and keeps them coming back to your website. This issue focuses on the "12 Essential Web Site Design Tips" that anyone wishing to promote their products or services on the Internet should benefit from.
I hope you find the article useful.
The most fundamental thing to do before designing your web site is to define its purpose. Do you want to sell products directly to your customer through your web site, or collect contact details to develop future relationships? A lot of this will depend on the products or services you sell, those with a larger price tag will require more relationship building than those that would count as an "impulse" purchase. People also use web sites to research products as well as purchase them so a company selling fridges for example may not be able to sell them through their web site (people don't often buy fridges online!) but they may well be able to direct them to their nearest store where the item they are interested in is in stock.
Identify the purpose of your web site and make sure all the actions you ask the customer to take leads them to the final outcome you have identified.
Once you have decided the final outcome you want to achieve, whether it's a sale, an enquiry, etc. work out a logical progression through the process your customer would need to go through and structure your web site around it. Give the customer the information they will be looking for and help them find it easily and quickly. If you offer a large range of products, use a search facility, if your products carry a detailed specification, add a "click for spec" button which links to further information on an additional page, this way you will not slow those who are ready to buy, but offer the additional info required by those still undecided.
Above all, keep the structure and progression as simple and logical as possible.
3. Decide on an overall design layout.
Most web sites have navigation down the left hand of the page, the company logo graphic across the top and the content of the page below and to the right. Another common layout is to have both the logo and navigation menu along the top of the page and the page content across the page beneath it. As these are the most familiar layouts to users, it would be wise to stick with them as the last thing you want to do is make your web site confusing to your customers.
Avoid too many moving graphics, as they are distracting, avoid large logo-only entrance pages (click here to enter site…) as they only delay the user and avoid anything "cute" that may undermine your professional look.
4. Be careful with colours.
Use contrasting colours for your text, black or blue on a white background is ideal. Don't forget to check the colours of your text links both before and after they've been visited, you don't want them to disappear. Patterned backgrounds look dated and unprofessional and make your text harder to read, try to avoid them. If you have them, use your corporate colours in your logos, buttons, etc. and keep the overall colour scheme inoffensive, clean and simple.
Put your links or buttons in a prominent place and keep them in the same place on every page. Make sure your colours, navigation, typeface and text size are consistent on every page. Make sure the user knows which page they are currently viewing and provide direct links to the contact and home page on every page of your web site.
6. Don't get creative with your typeface.
Make sure that your text is easy to read. It's very tempting to use an unusual typeface but your customers will appreciate text that's easy on the eye. They want to read your information and not be challenged in doing so. Also remember, when it comes to overall design layout, white space is beautiful. Break up your text into short paragraphs, bullet points, etc.
7. It's all in the content.
Once you've defined your purpose and planned your layout, design and navigation you should begin to create your content. Once you have decided what pages will be on your web site you will have a good idea of the kind of content that will be needed for each page. Write all the text that should go on each page, decide which graphics or photos to use and remember to space the information out on the page.
This is a critical step. Once you have established credibility with a professional looking design and layout, it's the content that will either convince your customers to buy, or have them clicking away to your competition. If you are not a professional copywriter, get some help. Either pay a professional to do it for you or for invaluable advice, read our guide "Writing Text That Sells".
It has been proved time and again that Internet users have a short attention span. They find long pages and acres of text off-putting. Give all the information that's required but keep it concise, break it up with graphics and try to make your pages as short in length as possible. Don't make your viewers scroll down more than an extra page height and give your visitors manageable chunks of text that keep them interacting with your site. If your page is longer than this, consider splitting the information over two or more pages.
Few things are more likely to cost you customers than incorrect information or poorly written or misspelled text on your business website. It will destroy your credibility. Read through all your text carefully and double check all the facts, get someone else to proof read it and run the text through a spell checker after checking your language settings (English – US or UK for example). Then do it all again, twice!
We've already mentioned that Internet users have a short attention span. Once your web site is ready with text and graphics on all the pages, check that it loads quickly at various connection speeds and remember that not everyone has a fast connection. Where possible reuse buttons and graphics, as they will load quickly when they have been viewed once.
Check how the site looks on different browsers and at different screen resolutions. People use different browser settings to alter text sizes and have additional toolbars filling up their browser windows. Nothing is more frustrating than a site that you can't read because it is a fixed size and disappears off your screen.
Have a look at your web site using http://www.anybrowser.com.
Finally, do a dummy run. Get a typical customer to road test your web site. If possible, ask them to buy a product and let them go through the whole process from start to finish. Did they manage to find what they wanted in three or fewer clicks? Did they find it easy to complete the purchase? How long did it take? Did they become confused or distracted at any point?

Miguel gently placed his hands against the wall of the ancient temple, knowing it could talk.
Wiping away the dust, he erased the layers of time.
He pressed his cheek against the cool stone and breathed in the past.
"Speak," he whispered in the old way.
Miguel closed his eyes and waited for the voices.
Love the feeling you created with this story, O.D.!
Thanks, Austin. Glad you liked it.
What happens next? So intriguing, this could lead to a lot of places.
History will be revealed to him by an eyewitness.


During recent years, Sino-African relations have noticed unprecedented growth in multilateral trade and foreign direct investment. At the macro-economic level, exchanges between China and Africa have attracted the world's attention regarding China-Africa's relations in various fields of engagement: diplomacy, politics, trade, investment and so on. Alongside such interest among policymakers and academics to scrutinise China's presence in Africa mainly linked to political and economic aspects, migration becomes a central topic which needs to be studied as it is essentially part of the broader picture of China and Africa relationship.
Beside the macro-economic level of engagement, China's investment in Africa is portrayed by Chinese private entrepreneurs, traders and businessmen seeking for markets. At the same time, China's economic boom, trade liberalisation and modernisation have attracted many African migrants. The growing presence of African traders in China's 'city markets' and Chinese traders in African cities is somehow shaping global business patterns. This paper is centred on comparative analysis of Sino-African traders in Senegal and China. It is based on empirical work in Yiwu and Dakar and looks at the traders' business networks and their contribution to the socio-economic development of Senegal and China.

Hyderabad: Hunt on for Chinese behind loan apps

Hunt on for Chinese behind loan apps
"We are in the process of tracing out the details of the suspected Chinese nationals and for this reason their bank accounts and their cyber activities are being traced," says an official
Hyderabad: The fraud of instant loan apps has created a sensation all over the country, especially in metro cities like Hyderabad, Bangalore, Delhi, Noida and Mumbai. In order to bring the culprits to justice, the city police have formed special forces from the Central Crime Station (CCS) and deployed them on the task to nab the kingpin of the entire syndicate.
An officer from the CCS said on condition of anonymity that the ones who were arrested recently were just employees working for the firms. But the firms are being operated from Indonesia by Chinese nationals who developed these apps. "The special teams have scrutinised the bank accounts of the arrested and through them we have received crucial inputs about the role of Chinese nationals.
We are in the process of tracing out the details of the suspected Chinese nationals and for this reason their bank accounts and their cyber activities are being traced. Apart from it, the source of the money is also being traced and any involvement of Hawala channel is also being checked.
Departments such as Enforcement Directorate, Income Tax department and CBI have been notified about the issue as the matter could pose a threat to internal security of our country and may also impact the economy," he added.
Once the identities, details and locations of those behind the frauds known, the special teams formulated for this purpose will collaborate with the respective police of the country of the accused. These special forces cops are trained to handle any kind of issues based on the country they are deployed.

One of our missions as Mood Wine is to support wineries, winemakers, and causes that inspire, motivate, and bring new experiences of vino joy into our lives.
Recently we connected with an amazing winery in Sonoma. This winery Azari Vineyards, under the leadership of Kaveh Azari and his family, not only makes amazing wines (more about their reserve Pinot Noir soon, including a hopeful wine dinner with Kaveh), they are also totally LGBTQ friendly.
HOWEVER, this blog post is not about Azari Vineyards, but to support something very near and dear to Kaveh.
Azari Vineyards is located in Sonoma, and as the world knows the Sonoma Coast suffered horribly under the 2017 Northern California Fires.
To help raise funds supporting the rebuilding efforts of the area, Azari Vineyards has played a major role in establishing a new label - Cork Screw Wine / Rebuild Red. We tasted this wine recently and Jake photographed it to inspire you to consider supporting their fundraising objectives.
Rebuild Red is an 'Old World' feeling wine; being a 2009 blend helps! If feels French with dusty cellar notes on the nose.
This is not a fruit forward wine, rather, it has nice dark berries up front quickly introducing a nice balance of acid and firm tannins - TOTALLY MY STYLE, especially with food pairing. This wine finishes clean with dried flowers, figs, and leather bolstering the finale!
The BEST thing about this gem? Not only do proceeds from every bottle go to the rebuilding efforts in the North Coast area, but the price is totally what I call the 'BISTRO' range - this is a great everyday wine - think weekday dinners with a nice structured red, or cheese plates and meats on the back patio with weekend friends.
$14 a bottle - $2 from every bottle for relief!
It's calling to you... and me!
Finally, a gratuitous cork shot because I love my corks, especially when they have nice aged tips!
Notice how red the tip is? That's 9 YEARS of aging showing off!
Please consider ordering some of this wine, you will be doing yourself and many others a huge favor. CLICK HERE to purchase!

Shoreham air crash: Victims' families demand thorough and frank investigation
Shoreham air crash: victims' families demand investigation
Families of the Shoreham Airshow crash victims have called for a "thorough and frank" investigation to halt the grim death toll at displays across England.
Sarah Stewart, partner at law firm Stewarts, has represented most of the relatives of the 11 men killed at the 2015 show in West Sussex.
Four years on, they have settled compensation claims for undisclosed sums of money but are still waiting for answers.
Ms Stewart said the criminal trial of pilot Andrew Hill for manslaughter by gross negligence had put inquests "on hold".
Its conclusion means that West Sussex Coroner Penelope Schofield can move ahead with full inquests and a thorough investigation into the wider issues.
The lawyer said: "Many families do not look for compensation. They want answers so that future deaths can be prevented.
"It is now almost four years since the Shoreham Airshow disaster killed 11 innocent men.
"The bereaved families have had to painfully relive the circumstances of their loved one's death again and again.
"The families want answers and a verdict will go some way towards that. But it is only one part of the jigsaw.
"By the nature of the charges against the pilot, the coroner's inquest has to wait until the conclusion of the criminal case.

"The inquest will enable a wider investigation into the deaths that occurred by examining the legal framework or rules relating to the supervision of pilots, flights, aircraft and airshows, as well as the various systems in place - including safety planning - to protect observers of the airshow and those in close proximity to it.
"To give the families what they want - which is a thorough, frank investigation into how their loved ones died - the only way forward is a wider investigation into all those things as well.
"The families will only be satisfied once a thorough investigation has been carried out."
The Shoreham air crash in 2015 was the deadliest for 63 years, yet stunt pilot deaths and injuries have been a regular feature of shows in England over the past 100 years.
In 1952, 31 people, including pilot John Derry, were killed when a fighter jet crashed during the Farnborough Airshow in Hampshire.
Just three years later, the pilot of a Hawker Hunter was killed during a fly-by at the same venue which was witnessed by Princess Margaret and 4,000 other spectators.
According to a newspaper report at the time, the royal guest had just taken her seat when the jet "screamed into the ground and disintegrated".
"The princess looked towards the mushroom of smoke billowing hundreds of feet into the air then quickly turned her head away," a 1955 report stated.
A year later, in a bizarre accident, "Birdman" parachutist Leo Valentin fell to his death at a display in Liverpool after his wooden wings collided with his jump plane.
Beatles Paul McCartney and George Harrison were said to have been among the 100,000-strong crowd that watched in horror as the famed Frenchman's stunt went disastrously wrong.
In a magazine interview last year, Sir Paul recalled "me and George going to the Liverpool Airshow where some guy, birdman, flew out of an airplane and his parachute didn't open".
He told GQ: "And we watched him drop and went 'Uh-oh, I don't think that was right'. We thought 'Any second now his parachute's gonna open', and it never did. We went 'I don't think he survived that'. And he didn't."
In 1968, six members of the French Air Force were killed in a crash while performing a single engine demonstration at Farnborough.
More recently, Biggin Hill airshow lost three pilots in two days, including former Red Arrow Guy Bancroft-Wilson.
An official accident report into the 2001 incident found he may have crashed a Second World War fighter plane because he was not flying fast enough to complete an aerial loop.
In 2000, former Red Arrow Ted Girdler failed to pull up from a diving roll and crashed a 1957 Czech-built military plane into the English Channel off Eastbourne, East Sussex.
The 62-year-old flight lieutenant, from Kent, was killed and two people swimming in the sea received medical treatment after ingesting aviation fuel.
In September 2007, James Bond stunt pilot Brian Brown was killed when his Hawker Hurricane crashed in a fireball after he failed to pull out of a dive during a mock dogfight at Shoreham.
The 49-year-old, from Doncaster, who worked on the Pierce Brosnan movie Tomorrow Never Dies, may have carried out the move "on impulse", his inquest heard.
Four years later, in August 2011, Red Arrows pilot Flight Lieutenant Jon Egging, 33, was killed in Bournemouth, Dorset.
An inquest heard he may have succumbed to G-force impairment before attempting to correct his course in the moments before the impact.
One of the earliest recorded accidents was at an agricultural show in Worcester in 1910.
An aviator reportedly crashed into a crowd of spectators, killing one person and injuring himself and several others.

Around 10 households are cleaning up after being flooded in Kawerau.
Floodwaters were up to one metre high around 4am, especially in the centre of town.
Half a dozen cars have been abandoned because of water that reached vehicle windows in some cases.
Mayor Malcolm Campbell said generally when you get rain like this, it's disappeared by now.
But he said the rain is continuing, which is making it unpleasant for some people.
Campbell said there's a lot of run-off from the hills, which has been inundating houses.
He said creeks are running extremely high so people need to be careful while walking their dogs as banks may have washed away.
Kawerau District Council staff are working as fast as they can to unblock drains.
Fire crews have pumped out a number of houses in the town.
Campbell said people need to be careful on the roads and is asking people not to drive fast through surface flooding because of the wake, which could inundate people's homes.
Campbell said the worst affected areas are Onslow Street - the main street - as well as Beattie and Valley Roads.
Shalom Broughton had simple advice from NBA Star Steven Adams - "don't be an egg"

Wat Aranyawiwake (Thai script: วัดอรัญญวิเวก, RTGS: Wat Aranyawiwek) is a monastery (wat) in the Thai Forest Tradition of the Theravada lineage of Buddhism. It is in Mae Taeng, Chiang Mai Province, northern Thailand. Phra Ajahn Plien Panyapatipo is the current abbot of Wat Aranyawiwake, where he has resided since 1966. Wat Aranyawiwake was established and named by Luang Pho Mun Bhuridatta, the "father" of the current tradition of forest meditation monastics.

The monastery
Wat Aranyawiwake was originally an old monastic residence, established by a group of people from various families in Intakhin Sub-district, Mae Taeng District, Chiang Mai Province. They had deep interest and faith in Buddhism.

They invited virtuous monks, who were meditation masters, to reside in the village in order for them to hear the teaching of the Buddha. Later on, they heard of a monk who practiced meditation and stopped by a wat in Mae Taeng District, so they invited the Venerable Ajahn Mun Bhuridatta. Ajahn Mun accepted the invitation and gathered a group of disciples, to seek an appropriate place for practice of meditation. They searched for four days and Ajahn Mun found this place.

At the end of the rain retreat, Ajahn Mun and his disciples left the place to continue their austere practice. Ajahn Mun told his followers, who attended him in Ban Pong, that he had named this place "Aranyawiwake monastic residence".

FOREIGN PHILANTHROPIES, EUROPEAN FUNDS AND COMPANIES WITH A PURPOSE
THE NEED TO BUILD PURPOSE FOR THE COMMON GOOD
Ethosfera will be developed with funding coming mainly from foreign philanthropies and companies strongly committed to defending and strengthening liberal democratic institutions as a fundamental basis for economic and social progress in the digital environment.
RISKS ARISING FROM POLITICAL AND SOCIAL GROUPS AGAINST LIBERAL DEMOCRACY
In the redefinition of the corporation towards an entity whose purpose is to help resolve a series of public issues, the need arises to closely follow the cycle of public affairs and to anticipate the behavior of certain political and social groups.
There are changes in the expectations that the general public has about certain topics, changes that are reflected in some way in the media communication, which can arouse controversy in the political environment and can culminate in legislative developments that negatively affect our democratic institutions and our economic and social progress.
Ethosfera becomes a platform to detect these risks thanks to the support of philanthropies and companies strongly committed to the architecture of liberal humanist democracy.
NEW PUBLIC-PRIVATE GOVERNANCE
Faced with the geopolitical risks derived from technological progress and certain political-social actors, the need arises for a new public-private governance, the purpose of which must appeal to the basic principles of classical and liberal humanism on which liberal democracy has been articulated in West and that has served as the basis for economic and social progress.

fermented milk, whole or skim milk curdled to beverage or custardlike consistency by lactic-acid-producing microorganisms. Many forms of fermented milk were used by early nomadic herders, especially in Asia and S and E Europe, Scandinavia, Africa, and South America. Such milks are believed to have medicinal value in the control of intestinal fermentation by contributing bacteria that aid in digestion. Fermented milks include acidophilus milk; cultured buttermilk; kumiss (koumiss), probably originated from mare's milk by western Mongols, effervescent and of acrid flavor and containing alcohol produced by yeasts; the similar kefir of Central Asia; yogurt, similar to the Armenian matzoon; and the Scandinavian beverages, kaeldermaelk and filbunke.
"fermented milk." The Columbia Encyclopedia, 6th ed.. . Encyclopedia.com. 10 Apr. 2019 <https://www.encyclopedia.com>.
milk, fermented In various countries, milk is fermented with a mixture of bacteria (and sometimes yeasts) when the lactose is converted to lactic acid and in some cases to alcohol. The acidity (and alcohol) prevent the growth of potentially hazardous micro‐organisms, and the fermentation thus acts to preserve the milk for a time.
These fermented milks include busa (Turkestan), cieddu (Italy), dadhi (India), kefir (Balkans), kumiss (Steppes), laban Zabadi (Egypt), mazun (Armenia), taette (N. Europe), skyr (Iceland), masl (Iran), crowdies (Scotland), kuban, and yoghurt.

Organizations deal with adversity by coping in characteristic ways. Although every organization is unique, you can understand its coping patterns in terms of three basic elements. The description that follows is based on a model of personal coping behavior first developed by Virginia Satir [Satir 1976, Satir 1988] and elaborated by others. I found Weinberg [Weinberg 1994] and McLendon and Weinberg [McLendon 1996] especially helpful.
The fundamental idea of Satir's model, as applied to organizations, is that organizational coping patterns take reality into account in different ways. We can represent reality as a combination of three elemental factors: the Self, the Other, and the Context. In organizational terms, the Self represents the internal world of the organization itself. The Other represents people or organizations external to the organization, but close to the organization. Finally, the Context represents the world beyond that — everything else.
Once you've identified a pattern that your organization uses repeatedly, you have all the tools you need to modify that pattern. If one or more elements of reality is under-represented or over-represented, you can work to bring things back into balance.
Here's an example. Let's suppose that we're trying to understand how a project team came to a certain state of stress, and we're looking at the flow of its communications with Marketing. Applying Satir's model, Self would be the Project Team, Other would be Marketing, and all other factors are part of Context. In this example, the CEO and the Finance organization, as well as the Federal Communications Commission and the Law of Gravity, are part of Context.
When we put appropriate weight on each of these three elements, we have the best chance of coping well with reality. When coping and communication are effective, the organization's internal representation of reality coincides with — is congruent to — reality itself. In the same way, the organization's representation of itself to the outside world coincides well with — is congruent to — the internal reality of the organization. An organization that's coping with reality from this position is said to be in a Congruent stance. When an organization's views disregard one or more of these three elements, unfavorable outcomes are more likely. This is called incongruent coping.
Satir represents these possibilities using a simple graphical notation. To the right is an example of her notation as applied to the incongruent coping stance called blaming. In blaming, Self and Context are taken into account, but the Other (the one blamed) isn't. In the graphic, I've chosen to represent with the dark color an element that's taken into account. Elements that are disregarded or not taken into account are represented with the light color.
Typically, when we blame, we disregard or deliberately hide the true worth of the person or thing blamed. For example, when we blame Congress for writing such complex laws, and when we really get worked up about it, we tend to ignore the good things Congress has done, and continues to do. It may well be true that Congress has written some bad laws — but it's just as certainly true that it has produced some good ones. It would be unwise to eliminate Congress just because it has made some mistakes.
Yet, in project work, when a colleague has made a drastic error that costs the project dearly, we sometimes blame the project's failure on that one person. And, sometimes, such people are terminated, demoted, or moved to other assignments, even when we need their unique capabilities. Although this is sometimes the right thing to do, it's also true that the blaming position can lead to the unnecessary loss of capability that the organization really needs. And it can bring unjustified harm to any person's career. An organization that's conversant with Satir's model of coping stances has the best chance to notice itself adopting a blaming pattern in a situation like this one. Once it has noticed the pattern, it can begin to formulate alternate choices, and perhaps find a way to deal with the problem while avoiding undue harm to the person who erred, and to itself.
The scene is a hastily-called meeting of executives, managers, and project managers. The agenda for this meeting is a review of the status of a key project, upon which the future of the organization depends. The meeting is being held because the project's manager, in response to new information about three problematic tasks, has re-estimated the delivery date, and now expects a significant slip, which would have serious negative consequences for the organization and its customers.
Each of the eight characteristic organizational patterns suggests a characteristic atmosphere for such a meeting. That's why this scenario is so useful for conveying the character of each pattern. And, of course, we've all attended such meetings, so we have our own experiences to compare to. Comparing the different responses within this one vignette helps clarify the distinctions among the eight patterns.
Each description concludes with a brief discussion of what might be needed to change that coping pattern to the Congruent pattern. You might be able to use these insights to help guide your organization to behave more congruently in similar situations.
When an organization copes on the basis of understanding its own value, its own flaws, and its own limitations, it has the best chance of achieving its potential — and great things.
A Placating organization shows undue concern for possible negative consequences. The group can be so driven by avoidance of discomfort right now, that it's willing to exchange it for far greater — even inevitable — discomfort in the future. When the group placates, it collectively avoids confronting issues or people, preferring instead to take full responsibility itself for any disappointing outcomes.
When an organization copes by Blaming, it seeks people or things to hold responsible for any problem, not to learn from its mistakes, or to prevent them in the future, but to preserve its view of its own infallibility — and the fallibility of others.
In coping by Loving/Hating, the organization is driven by its relationship with other organizations, people, or ideas. Whether finally to destroy that organization, person, or idea; or to attach itself thereto in permanent adoration and ethereal bliss, it ignores almost everything and everyone else external to the focal relationship.
When an organization is coping in the Narcissistic pattern, it's driven by its love of itself and disregard for everything else. No other organization, no person, nothing external to itself is of any worth or value, except perhaps as support or utility to itself. The Narcissistic organization is prepared to use, abuse, or exploit anyone, any idea, or any other organization, including its organizational parent, to further its own ends.
The Infatuated organizational coping pattern displays complete devotion to a particular person, idea, or organization. It remains dedicated in the face of almost any contradictory data, which can lead it to decisions that expose itself to inordinate risk or even to organizational disaster.
Irrelevant coping in an organization is coping by flight. In the face of adversity, the organization copes by avoiding not only the adversity, but any recognition of it.
Super-reasonable organizational coping emphasizes Context, usually through a devotion to "objectivity" and at the expense of human considerations or considerations of relationship. Super-reasonable coping can lead an organization to adopt self-destructive strategies because they make sense for the "bottom line," or because they emphasize some specific organizational priorities, even if they're self-destructive.
When an organization copes with a situation, it assumes a coping stance, which might be any one of the eight possible stances, or it might be a combination of two or more. To perhaps a greater extent than personal coping, organizational coping can more easily involve combinations, because so many people are involved. For instance, some of the people in the organization might prefer Blaming, while others might prefer Placating. What emerges for the organization is the result of everyone's contributions.
The incongruent coping patterns of organizations are thus distinct from what might be perceived as organizational behavior disorders, in that they're transient. Coping styles can vary with time and certainly with situation. Like people, the coping behavior of an organization in any specific situation might not fit any neat categorization scheme. Nevertheless, patterns of coping can emerge. An organization might favor one or two incongruent coping stances, on the whole and most of the time, but it still has the potential for Congruence at any time. An organization that behaves congruently most of the time can still occasionally adopt a blaming or placating stance once in a while. Variation is the only constant.
Learning to use the model is difficult, especially when we try to apply it to an organization in which we play a key role, in part because of our own role in the incongruence. It might be easier to begin by studying incongruent coping of organizations in which you play a minor role, or no role at all. One very effective approach might be to study a historical situation from the perspective of this model. Historical examples are especially useful, because we often have access to detailed background information that's difficult to obtain in real-life personal experiences. For example, the Munich Pact of 1938, under which Germany acquired the Sudetenland from Czechoslovakia, could be an example of organizational placating by Great Britain. By exploring historical examples, you can become familiar with the model and its application to organizations.
Once you have this familiarity, try tracking specific situations within your own organization. And when the time is right, try to move your organization towards congruence.

This Chinese Company Has Made It Mandatory For Female Staff To Kiss Their Boss Every Day!
Is it ever okay to mandate whether a woman can or cannot kiss someone? Because at this company in China it has become mandatory for women to kiss their employer every morning. After coming in for the day, they must stand in a line and individually approach their boss. Each person then has to approach their boss and kiss him. At what point is this the culture? And when is it just completely inappropriate?
When two workers expressed discomfort and refused to kiss their employer, they were denied the right to not kiss their boss. And eventually both women were let go, because they were unwilling to cooperate in this forced expression of affection. More than half of the staff is female. And somehow only the female employees are expected to take part in this act of submission. Men, of course, are left out of the practice.
Why are they being forced to do this? What justification, you may ask, is behind this absurd rule? Because it builds…. and I promise you… I am not making this up… It builds "work culture." Yep. You heard me right. Kissing your employer everyday will build the work culture and environment of the work place.
Maybe you are a little bit curious as to what it is that this company offers or produces. This company in Beijing sells brewery machinery. In what world does that necessitate a string of daily kisses from all your lovely female employees? But nothing has changed?
How would we react if this type of culture was implemented in the United States of America? I can pretty much guarantee that would never be considered acceptable. In fact, it sounds like a lawsuit waiting to happen. Even in a tumultuous and somewhat disturbing election, we have a lot to be grateful for as Americans. Anyone else grateful that we have our rights protected here?

As water dwindles, lawmakers seek access to confidential well logs
By Tom Knudson	/ March 24, 2015
California Sen. Fran Pavley has introduced a new bill to make well completion reports public. "After four years of a continuous drought, it is about time we get this information … to better protect California's precious groundwater," she said in a statement.

It's not a secret that California is facing a groundwater crisis.
But something else is: a vast repository of state records that scientists and water policy specialists say could dramatically improve our understanding of California's groundwater resources if they were made public.
The records are called well completion reports, or well logs for short. For decades, the California Department of Water Resources has gathered the documents from well drillers and archived them in cardboard boxes in West Sacramento and other locations around the state.
In all other Western states, such reports are public and often searchable online. But in California, they are considered confidential under a 64-year-old state law. Many think that should change.
Access to logs could help improve water quality and reveal which parts of California are being pumped the most, experts believe. Laurel Firestone, co-executive director of the Community Water Center, a Visalia-based nonprofit, called the secrecy a huge impediment to understanding the state's groundwater system.
"It's almost like when they black out classified information," Firestone said. "We have no maps of where people are using water, and what people are using water for. It's hugely important. We work with families that have lost their entire water supply, whose wells are going dry."
Opening the state's well log vault is under consideration this spring at the state Capitol, where lawmakers, the governor and state officials are scrambling to find ways to help California cope with a four-year drought that is straining surface and groundwater supplies. Earlier this month, NASA senior water scientist Jay Famiglietti warned that "the state has only about one year of water supply left in its reservoirs, and our strategic backup supply, groundwater, is rapidly disappearing."
State Sen. Fran Pavley, D-Calabasas – author of two of three historic groundwater laws passed by the Legislature last year – has introduced a new bill to make well logs public. A hearing is scheduled for today.
"After four years of a continuous drought, it is about time we get this information … to better protect California's precious groundwater," said Pavley in a statement.
To a nonspecialist, well logs can appear as dry as the drought-parched California earth. To groundwater scientists, they are a treasure trove of information that can help chart the size, shape and thickness of aquifers and determine how water cycles through and between them. That, in turn, can help predict how much pumping aquifers can withstand without being depleted.
The state's stockpile of well logs has grown to about 800,000 documents over the past six decades. Laid end to end, that is enough paper to circle Lake Tahoe twice.
While the public can't view those records, the Legislature did create a loophole in 1951 allowing access "to government agencies for use in making studies," making them accessible to some professionals but not others. The passage has been so narrowly interpreted by the Department of Water Resources that even scientists who work for public universities sometimes can't gain access.
This is the third time since 2011 that Pavley – chair of the Senate Natural Resources and Water Committee – has sought to make well logs open to the public. Whether she will succeed this year is anyone's guess. But it is certain the debate will be lively.
A glimpse of the coming drama can be gleaned from letters that have arrived in her office in recent weeks.
East Bay Municipal Utility District, which provides water to more than a million people, wrote to support the bill, saying data in well logs "is central to developing and implementing groundwater management plans."
But in a state where groundwater is tied to private property rights and farmers pump with no restrictions, opposition remains strong in the agricultural community.
"We believe the well log data is available to those entities that have a genuine need to evaluate and utilize it," wrote representatives of three agricultural organizations and the California Chamber of Commerce, in a letter opposing the Pavley bill.
"No beneficial purpose could be gained by making this confidential data available to the public," they added. "We believe this measure will only assist those trolling for lawsuits."
Several environmental and community action groups wrote in support. "As the physical effects of the drought worsen, from loss of water supplies to increased concentrations of groundwater contaminants, the need for reliable and transparent data … grows," they said. "The information contained within well completion reports would allow communities to identify new well locations that might yield safe drinking water, a concern affecting thousands across the state."
The governor's view is already well known. "California is the only western state that does not provide ready access to well reports," he wrote in a statement vetoing a 2011 well log access bill he felt was too restrictive. "That should be changed."

Mob sets Agra police chowki afire after youth dies in road crash
Agra (UP), Dec 31 (PTI) A clash broke out in Agra between cops and scores of people who were angry over the death of a man in a road crash and set a police chowki and some vehicles on fire on Thursday, officials said.
A youth was hospitalised when he got severely injured after a tractor-trailer overturned in the district on Thursday morning. He died during treatment at a hospital, Inspector General (Agra Range) A Satish Ganesh said.
The incident took place in the Tajganj police area and the Tora police chowki was set on fire, prompting deployment of heavy force, according to the officials. "Some rowdy elements started vandalising the local police chowki, set it on fire and some vehicles parked outside it. They tried to disrupt the law and order, prompting deployment of adequate force at the site, including senior officers," Ganesh said.
The body has been sent for a post-mortem, he said, adding law and order has been restored and the situation is under control.
Those involved in the firing and vandalisation will be identified with the help of CCTV footage and brought to the book, he added.
Earlier, videos surfaced on social media purportedly showing policemen and a mob pelting each other with stones. Several policemen were in partial riot gears, the visuals showed. PTI KIS RDK RDK

Here is the general UK Hardiness Zone Map with a helpful Key to give you all a general idea of what Zone you are situated in, aparrently the UK Zone system is based on the US system with only changes to the colours.
This is helpful for anyone who is planning or will be obtaining plants especially perennials to be planted before the worst of Winter, always check whether the plant is suited to your Zone's expected worst cold weather temperatures!
The Orange blip on the south easterly end of the map would be the London Microclimate, I could not locate any map online which pinpoints major towns or cities so the above map can be a little difficult to figure out … so for example, does the London microclimate extend to Greater London or just within the confines of the city and it's immediate sorrounding suburbs?
The best site for checking each plant's Zone hardiness is PFAF.

I believe it was the first one of the year since i'm fairly new to the Honda community and well it wasn't that great 😦 Might be cause it was the first for 2013 the lights weren't turned on. But i hope the next time it'll be better. Me and the Bobsyruncle crew didn't stay very long and since the lighting wasn't on i didn't take too many pics. Basically got the cars that were under the light other then that. Hope to take more pics at the next meet.
Ever since High School i've been a fan of the DC2, specially with the JDM front end. ❤ To me the DC2 never needed much aero on it. Simplicity at it's finest. The less add ons the better.
These cars look pretty damn good. Really digging the styling and the ability to go semi sporty and VIP themed. You be the judge .. Which would you choose?

This week's note "From the Desk of Deborah Weinswig" discusses the prospects for US retail as we head into the fourth quarter.
Amazon will be the No. 1 seller of apparel in the US in 2018, according to Wells Fargo. The e-commerce behemoth's apparel and footwear gross sales are expected to top $30 billion this year.
HBC and Signa, the respective owners of German department store chains Galeria Kaufhof and Karstadt, announced that they have agreed to merge the two chains.
On September 10, 2019, Alibaba CEO Daniel Zhang will replace Group Executive Chairman and cofounder Jack Ma as chairman of the Alibaba board. Ma will continue to serve as a member of the board until the company's annual general meeting in 2020.
As the last of summer's warm weather fades, our attention inevitably begins to turn to the holiday season. In the US, retail has enjoyed a bumper year so far. This week, we look at whether this momentum will continue through the holiday peak.
2018 has been a banner year for US retailing. Through July, total retail sales excluding automobiles and gasoline were up 4.5% year over year. We've seen demand for big-ticket home goods strengthen, along with a remarkable resurgence in the long-dormant apparel category, which had been perceived to be a lower spending priority for US shoppers for some time. The freer spending has filtered down to discretionary categories, too, with food and beverages, typically a low-growth category, posting a very solid pickup. This growth has come in spite of soaring gas prices, which usually prompt a slowdown in discretionary spending: the pattern we've seen this year, of higher gas prices and higher discretionary spending, is decidedly countercyclical.
Consumer spending accelerated in the final quarter of 2017, which means that we are about to lap that jump. This annualization will make the comparatives demanding for this year's holiday season. In particular, retailers face the hurdle of very strong demand in November last year, when total sales jumped by 6.7%.
Data are not seasonally adjusted.
But these considerations will affect the year-over-year rate of change, not demand itself—and we expect demand to remain solid in the holiday quarter this year. With very low unemployment, high consumer confidence, relatively benign inflation (gas prices excepted) and reduced taxes for many, the US macro landscape certainly looks favorable for the 2018 holidays.
A final positive is the calendar. If we take the holiday season as the period between Thanksgiving and Christmas Day, the season this year is as long as it can be. Thanksgiving always falls on the fourth Thursday in November, meaning the earliest that it can fall is November 22—and that is when it is this year. That gifts us 32 days in this year's holiday season. This means that next year will see a very short holiday season, of just 26 days, but that's a discussion for a year from now.
We'll publish our US Holiday Outlook report next week.
In its 2018 US Online Retail Forecast, FTI Consulting said that it expects US online retail sales to reach $525 billion by the end of the year, which would represent a 15.9% gain over last year. The firm also said that online sales account for 13.2% of all retail sales in the US, but that e-commerce's share of total retail sales will begin to level off.
The US retail industry is flourishing, a rebuke to critics who just a few years ago predicted its demise, but looming threats such as President Trump's trade skirmishes may weigh on profits in 2019.
At least 25 of the top publicly traded stores reported revenue growth for the most recent earnings period, according to a Washington Examiner review of the disclosures. Several, such as footwear company DSW, posted double-digit gains.
Grocery mobile apps are some of the nation's fastest-growing apps. In 2018, 18 million US adults will use a grocery app at least monthly, up 49.6% versus last year, according to eMarketer's latest app usage forecast.
The firm projects that, by next year, more than one in five adult smartphone shoppers (22.6 million) will use a grocery app to order food, representing 25.6% year-over-year growth. eMarketer expects the number of users of such apps to reach 25.2 million in 2020.
Amazon will be the No. 1 seller of apparel in the US in 2018, according to Wells Fargo. The e-commerce behemoth's apparel and footwear gross sales are expected to top $30 billion this year, allowing Amazon to leapfrog longtime incumbent Walmart for the top spot.
"Amazon dominates the online market for apparel and footwear (35% share, or four times the No. 2 player) and [it has] remarkably high market share in the total market," said Wells Fargo analyst Ike Boruchow.
As Chanel centralizes its global operations in London, it is closing Chanel Ltd. in New York. This does not mean Chanel will be closing its US operations—Chanel, Inc., will remain in its offices in the city.
However, New York will no longer serve as a global headquarters for the company, and the majority of global functions will now be based out of London. The president of Chanel's Japanese subsidiary will be moving to Europe as well.
Ehab Shouly, cofounder of Tea Terrace, one of House of Fraser's major suppliers, has joined Mike Ashley in demanding an Insolvency Service investigation into the British department store chain's former directors. According to the complainants, House of Fraser's board failed to disclose the full extent of the company's financial problems.
Ashley's Sports Direct purchased House of Fraser a few weeks ago. The department store retailer had failed to find buyers and was on the brink of collapse.
In an attempt to appease investors, British department store chain Debenhams announced this week that it expects to report £33 million ($43 million) in annual profits. The announcement follows a report by The Sunday Telegraph that the retailer has roped in restructuring experts from KPMG to help it cope with a downturn in trading.
Retail footfall in the UK declined by 1.6% in August following a 0.8% decline in July. High-street footfall dipped by 2% following three months of growth. Shopping center footfall was down 2.4%, an improvement over the 3.4% decline in July.
Ahead of its annual general meeting on September 10, Switzerland-based luxury goods company Richemont reported a 25% increase in sales (at constant exchange rates) for the five-month period ended August 31. Sales grew by 22% at actual exchange rates during the period.
Retail sales grew by 14% on the back of strong performances by Richemont's jewellery maisons and specialist watchmakers business segments, which grew by 14% and 4%, respectively, at constant exchange rates.
HBC and Signa, the respective owners of German department store chains Galeria Kaufhof and Karstadt, announced on September 11 that they have agreed to merge the two chains.
Canada's HBC, which acquired Galeria Kaufhof in 2015, will own 49.9% of the new business, while Austria's Signa will acquire a 50% stake in HBC's German assets. The formation of the new venture is expected to take place within the next 90 days, subject to regulatory approvals from European competition authorities.
On September 10, 2019, Alibaba CEO Daniel Zhang will replace Group Executive Chairman and cofounder Jack Ma as chairman of the Alibaba board, according to a company announcement.
Ma will continue to serve as a member of the board until the company's annual general meeting in 2020.
Indonesian ride-hailing company Go-Jek has discontinued Go-Mart, the company's personal grocery-shopping service, without stating the reasons for the move. Go-Mart allowed users to provide Go-Jek drivers with a shopping list and direct them to shop at their favorite retailers.
Go-Jek is now promoting a stripped-down service called Go-Shop to be used in place of Go-Mart. The company did not state whether it plans to bring back the Go-Mart service.

The two brands, which currently have a presence in India only through multibrand outlets, will be launched at DLF's Chanakya Mall in Delhi by the middle of next year.
Danish toy manufacturer Lego is set to scale up its expansion in China. The company plans to open two new flagships, one in Beijing and one in Shanghai, within the next few months. Lego achieved double-digit revenue growth in the region in the first half of 2018.
Lego's growth in China has already surpassed its growth in Europe and the US, prompting the company to focus on China for its immediate expansion plans.
Chilean retail chain La Polar reported a 1.3% year-over-year sales decline in the first half ended June 2018. The company attributed the decline to a slowdown in store sales.
La Polar stated that declines in the footwear, sports, technology and menswear categories offset growth in the household category.

Q: how to merge two columns into one (using Python)? I need to merge two columns (first and second) into one column, using Python.
Here is my file:
   0 C   -0.053959    0.000000
   1 C   -0.053862    0.000000

   8 H    0.045941    0.000000

I already managed to reach my goal with Bash:
awk '{print $2 "" $1 "\ t" $3}' <MYfile.txt >> OUTPUT.txt

The result is :
C0      -0.053959
C1      -0.053862
C2      -0.059245
C3      -0.058925

H6      0.040480
H7      0.045907
H8      0.045941

Is it possible with Python ???

A: Use following code:
f=open('f.txt','r') #input file . change file name to your file name
f1=open('o.txt','w')  # output file
d=f.readlines()
for i in d:
    k=i.strip().split()
    f1.write((k[1]+k[0]+' '+k[2]+"\n"))
f.close()
f1.close()

A: You can easily use split to convert each line into a list
with open("fileToRead.txt", "r") as fi, open("fileToWrite.txt", "w") as fo:
    for line in fi:
        x = line.strip().split()
        fo.write("{}{}\t{}\n".format(x[1], x[0], x[2]))

A: You can do something like this:
I suppose that your input file is called test_file.txt and your output file is called new_file.txt:
def read_file(name):
    data = None
    with open(name, 'r') as f:
        data = f.readlines()
    return (k.split() for k in data) if data else data

def merge_columns(name, new_file):
    data = read_file(name)
    if not data:
        raise Exception('Cant operate with a None data')
    with open(new_file, 'a+') as f:
        for k in data:
            first, second, third, *_ = k
            f.write('{0}{1} {2}\n'.format(second, first, third))

merge_columns('test_file.txt', 'new_file.txt')

In terminal:
>>> python3 test.py
>>> cat new_file.txt
C0 -0.053959
C1 -0.053862
C2 -0.059245
C3 -0.058925
S4 0.050616
H5 0.040353
H6 0.040480
H7 0.045907

Thread: Can Moto X 1st gen (XT1053)still be activated on T-Mobile?
Can Moto X 1st gen (XT1053) still be activated on T-Mobile?
I've had it for 5 years since new on AT&T, now may need to switch to T-Mobile because I barely have any AT&T service at my new job. It was sold by Motorola as unlocked phone compatible with T-Mobile.
I just checked IMEI on T-Mobile prepaid website and it says it is not compatible. Is this because it needs 3G for voice and T-Mobile has already shut it down?
It's compatible but not optimal because it (AFAIK) lacks LTE band 12.
Thank you. Do you know how exactly will it manifest itself? I am in NYC.
PS: just checked: Mint Mobile accepts my IMEI.
According to GSMarena.com, the XT1053 has 3G bands 1, 2, 4, 5 & 8 and LTE bands 2, 4, & 17. In NYC T-Mobile uses LTE bands 2, 4, 12 and they're beginning to deploy band 71. 3G is limited to a single 5x5 MHz channel in band 4. GSM is a minimal signal running in the guard bands of LTE band 2.
Band 12 provides coverage and indoor signal advantages. Without it you may have more dead spots indoors and out.
One of the issues is that NYC is such a congested market that it's best to have a phone with all the bands, Carrier Aggregation (CA) and Multiple-Input-Multiple-Output (MIMO). These tend to be fairly spendy.
Your XT1053 should work OK but may have moments of slow data and maybe dropped calls, etc.
I wanted to replace it with Galaxy S10e but I am glad I waited because Samsung Community forum is full of serious complaints. So I would like to get some life out of my Moto X until Samsung fixes problems or something else comes along. Since my office is actually the only place I have problems I will probably just stay with AT&T.
Check https://us.community.samsung.com/t5/...help-GalaxyS10. No/intermittent LTE connectivity, Bluetooth issues, proximity sensor issues.
Metro by T-Mobile will give you a free phone with four choices in phones ( LG, Samsung or Moto) that all will work better than your Moto X. T-Mobile uses cell phone bands 2, 4, 5 ( SC only), 12, 46, 66 and 71. In NYC with out Band 12 your Moto X is just a little better than a brick due to signal penetration issues. Since you said AT&T didn't work at your new job I would think that it could be a building penetration issue that may require T-Mobile's Band 12 and 71 to get reception. I would be surprised if the Moto X even supports voice over WiFi.
If you want to save a couple bucks... LG G7 is $480 and a CAT16.
I have an original Moto X Pure, which works with VoIP and band 12, but not VoWiFi.
These are probably pretty cheap.
t-mobile not need activation, just put the activated t-mobile SIM in your unlocked phone, you are ready to go.
Band 12 includes the lower 700 blocks A-C, band 17 is only blocks B & C. Band 12 and band 17 are not actually as "interoperable" as some might believe. In order for a band 12 phone to work on blocks B & C, the network must broadcast a band-12 band indicator. For a band 17 phone to work on blocks B & C, the network must broadcast a band 17 band indicator. It is possible for the network to broadcast both band 12 & 17 indicators at the same time. A band 12 phone will work on block A. A band 17 phone will not work on block A. In about 90% of T-Mobile's 700 MHz license footprint, they have only block A. In the few places where they have other blocks, they appear to run a 10x10 or 15x15 MHz band 12 signal and do not broadcast a band 17 indicator. In other words, I know of no place where a band 17 phone will work on T-Mobile's 700 MHz, unless it also supports band 12.
In the NYC market, no claim of dropped calls is "fake". Because the OP's phone is not capable of using T-Mobile's 700 MHz signal in NYC, dead spots and dropped calls when moving are highly likely.
P.S. From what I can find online, I don't think the X1 supports VoLTE. If this is the case, it will be limited to a single 5 MHz block of band 4 UMTS and what vestigial GSM they still run in NYC for voice service.

The Moto X 1st Gen or XT1053 on T-Mobile has has 3G bands 2 & 4 and LTE bands 2 & 4. It is better than a brick or two tin cans with a string between the cans but it is still a terrible phone for T-Mobile's network. Since you can get a free higher quality phone from Metro by T-Mobile what is the point when you are paying full price for service you can't use?
Own many att old phone with LTE band 2/4/17 phone, all works very well on band 12 T-Mobile..
Can left over 3g modems still be activated on prepaid?
Can SIM Card from Wildfire S still be prepaid on another phone?
Can the older phones still be activated on the newer plans (Everything Data)?
Which Current VZW Phones (If Any) Can Still Be Actived on AC II?
can nokia 6255i still be activated on vzw?
