Meshed & UTS launch Sydney's first public access internet of things (IoT) network
Written by Robert Button
July 20, 2016 (Sydney, Australia): Meshed a Sydney based IoT integrator, in partnership with The Things Network (TTN) and University of Technology Sydney (UTS) have today launched a public access Internet Of Things (IoT) low power, long range wide area network (LPWAN) for Sydney.
The Sydney Community IoT Network will enable any-one within range of the Sydney gateway/s to connect their device to the internet for free, without the use of Cellular, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth or other wireless technologies.
The network is based on the open standard technology, LoRaWANTM which uses the 915MHz Industrial Scientific and Medical (ISM) wireless spectrum band. LoRaWANTM is fast becoming an important low cost connectivity option to support the anticipated explosion in connected devices and smart sensor networks for smart cities, smart living, asset management, energy metering, water management, industry 4.0, smart farming and environmental monitoring.
More than 14 billion devices are connected to the internet world-wide, with a forecast to grow to over 26 billion connected units by 2020 and – possibly 1 trillion by 2035 (McKinsey 2015). Research undertaken by the IoT Alliance Australia has revealed $116 billion of potential upside to the Australian economy by 2025.
The Things Network kick-starter campaign, started in Amsterdam in October 2015, with the mission to build an open, free and decentralized internet of things network. TTN is now a thriving global community network with city-wide community gateways being deployed in cities such as Amsterdam, New York, Zurich, Madrid, San Francisco, San Paulo, London and Singapore.
Meshed is the initiator for the Sydney community IoT network. The model adopted by Meshed allows companies and communities to deploy their own IoT data networks at a fraction of the cost of alternative IoT carrier networks.
Catherine Caruana-McManus, Director of Strategy and Sales for Meshed has been instrumental in promoting strong collaborations with leading universities and cities. "Free to use, community IoT networks are "democratising the internet of things" by enabling communities and city and industry leaders to get real-time data about the things that matter most to them in order to take action faster." Ms Cauana-McManus said.
UTS Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Research) Professor Glenn Wightwick said the project was infused with the spirit of interdisciplinary collaboration now thriving in Sydney, embraced by government, university researchers, creative tech startups and leading business innovators.
"The opportunity for UTS to work with Meshed and the IoT Alliance to enable connectivity for an Internet of Things innovation platform for developers, entrepreneurs and businesses was too good to miss," Professor Wightwick said.
"UTS involvement commenced with extensive discussions between ISF and Faculty of Engineering and IT research staff and Meshed colleagues. The outcomes benefit not only local business, but also students and researchers installing, receiving feedback and publishing data from low cost sensors to support smart city, precinct and campus applications." Profession Wightwick said.
Andrew Tovey, CEO for the Total Environment Centre based in Darlinghurst, Sydney, is enthusiastic about the initiative. "LORA-enabled environmental data networks, capable of providing real-time information about the health of our urban environment, are a revolutionary new technology poised to significantly transform environmental advocacy, empower communities and positively influence urban planning decisions." Mr Tovey said.
Andrew Maggio, Director of Technology for Meshed, is excited about interoperability and flexibility of LoRaWANTM. "LoRaWANTM has greatly simplified the way devices connect to the web. Together with The Things Network, it has enabled the creation of new solutions that were previously not possible." Mr Maggio said.

Q: pythonic for loop to write excel formulas with different variables Sorry for the unclear title - I wasn't sure how to best word this.
I have a bit of code which is going to populate a new column in my dataframe and subsequently Excel. I'm attempting to add two cells in the same row (columns E, F) but also the rightmost (column H) cell from the previous row and I don't think I've structured my code efficiently or correctly.
len_newf is the length of the dataframe, newf, but has been changed to a random integer for ease of reproduction.
Current working code is:
len_newf = 8
lform = []

x = 0
y = 1
z = 1

for i, j, k in zip(range(x, len_newf+2), range(y, len_newf+2),range(z,len_newf+2)):

    formula = '=(H{0}+E{1}+F{1})'.format(i,j,k)
    lform.append(formula)

Output:
['=(H0+E1+F1)', '=(H1+E2+F2)', '=(H2+E3+F3)', '=(H3+E4+F4)', '=(H4+E5+F5)', '=(H5+E6+F6)', '=(H6+E7+F7)', '=(H7+E8+F8)', '=(H8+E9+F9)']

Thanks for any help in advance.

El Comodor Otto Kretschmer (1 de maig de 1912 – 5 de maig de 1998) va ser un comandant de submarins alemany durant la Segona Guerra Mundial, sent l'As de la Profunditat amb més èxit. Des de setembre de 1939 fins que va ser capturat al març de 1941, va enfonsar 47 vaixell, amb un total de 274.333 tones. Va ser condecorat amb la Creu de Cavaller de la Creu de Ferro amb Fulles de Roure i Espases, a més d'altres distincions. Va rebre el malnom d'Otto el Silenciós (Otto der Schweigsame) tant per la seva habilitat en la navegació silenciosa dels submarins com al seu malestar per trencar el silenci radiofònic durant les patrulles.

Biografia

Inicis
Otto Kretschmer va néixer a Heidau, Neisse. Fill d'un mestre d'escola de la Baixa Silèsia, de petit mostrà interès pels idiomes i les ciències naturals. Amb 17 anys va anar a Gran Bretanya, França, Itàlia i Àustria per perfeccionar el coneixement dels idiomes. Va passar 8 mesos vivint a Exeter, on va aprendre l'anglès de manera fluida, de manera que va poder aprovar l'examen de capacitació com a intèrpret naval en anglès. A l'abril de 1930 abandonà els estudis i s'allistà a la Reichsmarine, obtenint el rang de Seekadett i completant el curs d'oficial, passant 3 mesos a bord del vaixell d'entrenament Niobe. Posteriorment passà gairebé un any a bord del creuer lleuger Emden i, al desembre de 1934, va passar a bord del creuer lleuger Köln. Kretschmer va estar a bord del Köln fins que va ser enviat al cos de U-Boots el gener de 1936, on va rebre un entrenament d'oficial extensiu i va ser promogut a Oberleutnant zur See.

El primer comandament de Kretschmer va ser el U-35, un  U-Boot tipus VIIA el 1937. Aquesta promoció va coincidir amb la participació alemanya a la Guerra Civil Espanyola, i lU-35 rebé l'ordre de patrullar per la costa espanyola. lU-35 tornà a Alemanya després d'una patrulla sense incidents en la que no enfonsà cap vaixell. Al setembre de 1937, Kretschmer abandonà lU-35 i prengué el comandament del U-23, un U-Boat costaner tipus IIB.

Segona Guerra Mundial
La Campanya de Polònia sorprengué a Kretschmer encara al comandament de lU-23, i va ser enviat ben aviat al front juntament amb la resta de la flota de submarins de la Kriegsmarine. Les seves primeres patrulles de guerra van ser a través del Mar del Nord i als voltants de la costa britànica. El primer èxit de Kretschmer va ser al Moray Firth, on va atacar i enfonsar el petroler danès Danmark de 10.517 tones el 12 de gener de 1940, usant torpedes. L'Almirallat britànic va pensar que el petrolier havia estat enfonsat per una mina, car no va trobar cap submarí a la zona. Un mes després, el 18 de febrer, Kretschmer va enfonsar el destructor de la Royal Navy HMS Daring de 1.300 tones al Pentland Firth, mentre que escortava al comboi HN-12 des de Noruega. Les tripulacions dels U-Boat sempre evitaven enfrontar-se deliberadament els destructors enemics, de manera que la destrucció del Daring va ser vista amb justícia com un atac molt hàbil tant de Kretschmer com de tota la tripulació de lU-23.

A l'abril de 1940, després de 8 patrulles, Kretschmer va abandonar lU-23 i va ser destinat al recentment completat U-Boot tipus VII B U-99. Després de dos mesos d'entrenaments i proves al Bàltic, lU-99 va ser enviat al front el juny de 1940. Durant les seves primeres 4 patrulles, Kretschmer començà a atacar combois durant la nit des de la superfície, enfonsant mercants amb trets molt acurats, usant sempre que fos possible un únic torpede per vaixell per tal d'estalviar munició (en lloc de seguir la tàctica habitual de disparar diversos torpedes en ventall), atribuint-se a Kretschmer la sentència "Un torpede... un vaixell". Les tàctiques de Kretschmer van ser àmpliament copiades per tot el cos d'U-Boots, tot i que en la pràctica s'assoliren resultats diversos.

La seva patrulla de més èxit tingué lloc al novembre de 1940. Durant aquella patrulla, lU-99 de Kretschmer enfonsà 2 creuers mercants armats britànics, el HMS Laurentic (18.724 tones) i el HMS Patroclus (11.314 tones). El Laurentic i el Patroclus van ser enfonsats la nit del 3-4 de novembre, després que responguessin a les crides de socors del vaixell de càrrega Casanare de 5.376 tones, que lU-99 havia deixat mortalment ferit a 250 milles a l'oest d'Irlanda. A més, descobrí la posició del comboi HX90, del qual enfonsà el petroler Scottish Maiden, tot i estar situat al centre del comboi. Al seu retorn, descobrí que havia estat condecorat per Hitler amb les Fulles de Roure per a la seva Creu de Cavaller de la Creu de Ferro el 4 de novembre.

En la seva següent missió, al desembre de 1940, enfonsà un nou creuer mercant armat, el HMS Forfar (16.402 tones). El Forfar va ser enfonsant un mes després, el 2 de desembre, mentre que protegia el comboi OB-251, a més d'altres integrants del comboi (el petroler Conch i el vapor Farmsum). Conjuntament, només els 3 mercants armats feien més de 46.000 tones, i feren pujar a Kretschmer al número 1 de la llista d'Assos, no sent mai superat. Juntament amb Günther Prien i Joachim Schepke havia enfonsat 200.000 tones, i Kretschmer va ser el primer a arribar a les 250.000. Klaus Bargsten servia a bord de lU-99 a les ordres de Kretschmer, abans de ser promogut a comandant al febrer de 1941 i esdevenir l'únic supervivent del U-521 el 2 de juny de 1942

Kretschmer també era meticulós en la seva conducta vers a les tripulacions dels vaixells torpedinats. Quan atacava vaixells mercants solitaris abans que comencessin les tàctiques de les llopades, era conegut per donar mantes i ampolles de licor als bots salvavides, així com indicar-los el rumb cap a la terra més propera. En una patrulla al setembre de 1940 va rescatar un supervivent d'un vaixell que havia atacat i que havia quedat sol enmig de l'Atlàntic, transferint-lo posteriorment a un bot salvavides després del seu atac amb èxit.

En la seva darrera patrulla al març de 1941 va enfonsar 10 vaixells més. El 17 de març de 1941, durant un contraatac realitzat pels escortes del comboi HX-112, lU-99 va resultar danyat després de repetits atacs de càrregues de profunditat pels destructors britànics HMS Walker i HMS Vanoc. Kretschmer hagué d'emergir i, trobant-se sota el foc dels vaixells britànics, va enfonsar el seu vaixell. Es van perdre 3 dels seus homes, entre ells el sots-oficial Schroeder, el cap de màquines, però Kretschmer i la resta de la tripulació de lU-99 van ser capturats pels britànics. Poc abans de capturar el U-99, els escortes britànics havien aconseguit una altra victòria contra la Kriegsmarine, quan un altre as dels submarins, Joachim Schepke, va morir a bord del U-100 quan aquest va ser envestit i enfonsat pel Vanoc.

Les pràctiques habituals de conducta de Kretschmer van ser evidents durant l'enfonsament del seu vaixell. Va fer senyals al HMS Walker per demanar el rescat dels seus homes, va prendre riscos per assegurar-se que abandonessin el submarí tants homes com fos possible, i fins i tot ajudà als seus homes a pujar per les xarxes de rescat que penjaven del destructor. La força de Kretschmer va minvar a l'aigua glaçada i el seu propi rescat va ser obra d'un mariner britànic que baixà per la xarxa i el va treure de l'aigua.

Presoner de guerra
Després de ser capturat, Kretschmer passà gairebé 7 anys com a presoner de guerra britànic. Inicialment va ser retingut a Liverpool, passant després a Londres. El 3 d'abril de 1942 va entrevistar-se a casa de l'almirall sir George Creasy, el director de la campanya antisubmarina. Després de Londres, seria internat en un camp de presoners al nord d'Anglaterra, prop de llac Windermere. Allà Kretschmer participaria en un "Tribunal d'Honor" (tot i estar expressament prohibit per la Convenció de Ginebra) per jutjar per covardia al segon oficial de l'U-570, que havia rendit la nau davant un atac aeri. Passat el Nadal de 1941, el comandant del camp de presoners informà a Kretschmer que havia estat condecorat amb les Espases per a la seva Creu de Cavaller. A finals de maig de 1942 van ser enviats a un camp de presoners al Canadà, al Camp de presoners de Guerra de Bowmanville, prop del llac Ontario. El 1943, l'alt comandament alemany intentà rescatar-lo (Operació Kiebitz), però el pla fracassà. A finals de 1946 tornà a Anglaterra, a un campament de presoners prop de Sheffield; i al desembre de 1947 se li va permetre tornar a Alemanya.

Després de la guerra
Igual que d'altres veterans navals alemanys, Kretschmer s'uní a la nova marina alemanya, la Bundesmarine. S'uní el 1955, i 2 anys més tard va ser nomenat comandant del 1. Geleitgeschwader (1r Esquadró d'Escorta). L'any següent va ser nomenat comandant de les Forces Amfíbies Alemanyes (Bundesmarine Amphibische Streitkräfte). Des de 1962 en endavant serví com a oficial d'estat major a l'OTAN, abans de ser el Cap d'Estat Major de l'OTAN del comandament COMNAVBALTAP a Kiel al maig de 1965. Es retirà al setembre de 1970 com a Almirall de Flotilla.

Posteriorment, Kretschmer va ser sovint entrevistat a programes de ràdio i televisió sobre la Segona Guerra Mundial, apareixent a la sèrie documental de 1974 The World at War.

Va morir en un accident nàutic al Danubi a l'estiu de 1998, mentre celebrava el seu 50è aniversari de noces.

Sweet Lorane Community News, July 29, 2021
July 29, 2021Newspaper ColumnsBriggie Maley, Jack Graham, Michael Atkinsonpaedwards 0 comments
Three of Lorane's long-time residents and friends passed recently and I want to recognize them here.
I was remiss in failing to report Briggie Maley's passing last May, two months short of his 100th birthday. He and his wife Toby moved to Lorane in 1946. He was a timber faller for Chambers Logging for a number of years before hiring on with Murphy Logging. He retired in 1982. Briggie was active in the Lorane I.O.O.F./Lorane Rebekahs for a number of years as well as the Lorane Christian Church. Both Briggie and Toby were avid golfers and they reluctantly sold their home in Lorane and moved to Cottage Grove in 2005 to be closer to medical providers and the golf courses they loved to play. Toby passed in 2013—they had been married for almost 72 years. They are survived by their children, Pat Adams, Linda Sturtevant, Mike Maley and Jaynie Wiser and grandchildren, great-grandchildren and great-great-grands. A Celebration of Life was held for Briggie on July 10.
Jack Graham and his wife Doris moved to North Hill Road, east of Lorane in 1963. Doris died in 2019, and Jack passed at the age of 91 on July 23 of this year. I never got to know them well except for the occasional times they came in our store in the 1980s. A memorial service celebrating them both was held this past weekend.
According to his obituary, Michael "Mike" Atkinson, who died on July 18, 2021, "attended St. Francis High School, which is now Marist, then Oregon State University, where he graduated with a degree in Forestry. While enlisted in the Army, he married Grace Jungwirth in 1963. He was employed at Chickering Surveying, and then worked at Weyerhaeuser, retiring after 39 years."
Sometime in the 1970s, Mike and Grace, along with his parents, Theron and Trudy, purchased a tree farm located between Lorane and Crow on Territorial Hwy. He and Grace had 5 children. They succeeded in growing not only beautiful trees on the farm, but great kids as well. Mike also donated considerable time to St. Catherine of Siena Catholic Church in Veneta, and he served on the Crow-Applegate-Lorane School Board with Jim in the late 1970s and 1980s. Over the years, he kept active and donated his time time to organizations like Oregon Small Woodlands (OSWA), Western Lane Forest Protection Organization, Oregon Tree Farm System, and other organizations supporting family tree farm growth and forestry stewardship.
"He is preceded in death by Grace Atkinson (d 1997), and survived by his wife Constance, his children Richard and Martin Atkinson, Michele Stowell, Sara Nickel, and Anna Atkinson, and 13 grandchildren, his siblings, Sharon Hurst, Trudie Atkinson, Lorna Pletnikoff, Paul, and Tim Atkinson."
Briggie, Jack and Michael raised their families and lived separate lives within the community of Lorane, but by doing so, they are etched into its fabric and history. Each will be missed. Our condolences to the families.
Just some reminders—
The Lorane Community Potluck is being held on Saturday, August 7, beginning at noon at the Lorane Grange. Doors open at 10 a.m. Bring a main dish, side dish or dessert to share and visit with neighbors and friends, welcome and meet some of our newer residents, and just enjoy being social again.
The Lorane Ice Cream Social will be held the next day, on Sunday, August 8, at 1 p.m. on Old Lorane Road in front of the fire station, and enjoy the wonderful ice cream and homemade pies, the live music and entertainment, and participate in the fun family events.
The Crow Grange's Chicken 'n Pickin' barbeque (aka Joe's BarB-Q) will also be held on Saturday, August 7, from 1:00 to 4:00 p.m. Music this year will be provided digitally by the Poodle Creek Pickers and the Green Mountain Boys.
The Lorane Community Yard Sale is scheduled for Saturday, August 14. Maps will be available. Look for more details on the Lorane Facebook page.

Wife Sets Husband's Side Chic Up By Inviting Her Over And Then Beat Her Up
A young lady got more than she bargained for after she was lured into a den of torture for having a secret affair with a married man.
The man's wife set a trap for the mistress after discovering her affair with her hussy. According to reports, the wife had been suspecting her husband of infidelity and finally confirmed her suspicions after her husband forgot his phone at home one day on his way to work.
The wife then plotted to trap his mistress by sending a text message to the side chick she suspected, pretending to be her husband and asking her to come home, so they could 'get down'.
To make the message even more convincing, the woman in a part of her message wrote; "My stupid wife is not home, come over and let's make some sweet love"
And the side chick who probably had been waiting for her next sex romp with the man, quickly rushed to his house only for her to realize that she had run into trouble.
The angry wife who had earnestly been waiting for her, beat her up and even took her clothes off, while letting another person record the whole incident after which she uploaded the video online.

Theft case against Texas Tech player Da'Leon Ward dismissed
By Gabriel Monte and Don WilliamsA-J Media
Aug 22, 2018 at 11:50 AM Aug 22, 2018 at 7:15 PM
Lubbock County District Attorney Matt Powell on Wednesday morning dismissed a felony theft case against Texas Tech running back Da'Leon Ward.
Powell said he made the decision after learning about Ward's arrest Tuesday evening.
"There was not sufficient evidence, in my opinion, that a Lubbock County jury could find him guilty of this crime beyond a reasonable doubt," he said.
A Lubbock County grand jury in June returned an indictment against Ward, finding there was probable cause to charge him with a state jail felony count of theft between $2,500 to $30,000. The case was assigned to the 137th District Court.
Ward was not arrested before the case was presented to grand jurors but a warrant for his arrest was issued soon after the indictment was returned. The Lubbock County Sheriff's Office arrested him Tuesday afternoon.
"I'm sorry the young man got arrested," Powell said. "He should have never been arrested. The case should have never been filed."
Ward was released from the Lubbock County Jail around midnight. Ward missed the Red Raiders' practice Wednesday morning, because the case had not been dismissed at that time, but he was expected back with the team later in the day.
Tech athletic director Kirby Hocutt, without naming Ward, told a crowd at the Red Raider Club kickoff luncheon Wednesday about the case being dismissed.
Lubbock attorney Tray Payne, who represented Ward, commended Powell during an afternoon news conference.
"I wanted everybody to know as quickly as possible," Payne said, "that this kid wasn't a thug or a thief or all the other things I'd seen him proclaimed as on social media. He's not. He's a good kid."
The indictment stemmed from a November Texas Tech Police investigation into stolen cell phones at the Tech Student Recreation Center.
Powell said there may have been other people involved but there was insufficient evidence at this point to file charges on anyone.
According to a probable cause affidavit filed in May, Ward was identified as a suspect in the thefts after one of the phone owners told Texas Tech police investigators he recovered the stolen phones from Ward.
Five days after the thefts, the owner, after reaching out to Tech football chief of staff Kenny Bell, said Ward contacted him and they arranged to meet. Ward reportedly handed over to him three of the stolen phones without their case.
The phone owner told investigators Ward reportedly denied stealing the phones, saying one of his friends stole them.
According to the arrest warrant, the man's phone was wiped of data when it was returned to him. However, investigators were able to read emails between Ward and the man.
In the email conversation, Ward reportedly told the man that one of his friends took his card to get into the recreation center, the warrant states.
Ward reportedly did not meet with an investigator who made several attempts to contact him between January and April; however, Ward sent an email saying, "sir, I did all I could to get the phones I got back it's been months now," the warrant states.
Payne said a roommate of Ward's at the time, a former Tech walk-on football player who was no longer on the team, was the actual perpetrator.
"The kid had taken Da'Leon's ID, gone to the Rec and stole the phones, and you can clearly see it's not Da'Leon in the video," Payne said. "Bottom line is, they got the wrong guy."
In separate interviews, Hocutt and Payne said Tech's Office of Student Conduct found Ward not responsible for the thefts, informing him of that decision on July 2, but Hocutt said the Tech athletic department was unaware a criminal investigation remained open against Ward on the same matter.
"The big questions I heard yesterday," Payne said, "were, 'How come the athletic department didn't know?' 'How could he be practicing?' Well, their information on July 2, 2018, from Texas Tech (Office of) Student Conduct was, 'He's cleared.' And you'd think that if the student conduct office had cleared him that he would probably be cleared through the Texas Tech Police Department. The standards aren't the same."
Payne said he could understand why Ward was indicted, because there was some level of probable cause with the phones being in his possession at one point.
"I think the Office of Student Conduct did a really good job of investigating it," Payne said. "They talked to him, evidently viewed the video, corroborated that it wasn't him on the video and said, 'Look, we believe you and don't think you did anything wrong.' But he had already been indicted."
As for the lag time until his arrest, Payne said, "You might have somebody for six months, a year, two years that has an active warrant and nobody goes and picks them up. I mean, they've got thousands of them at the sheriff's department to cull through."
Tech coach Kliff Kingsbury had Ward redshirt last season to focus on improving his academics and maturity. Kingsbury and other Tech football personnel said this summer Ward had responded well to the directives.
The sophomore tailback from Dallas Skyline and senior Tre King have been the leaders to be the team's primary running back. King ran for 623 yards and five touchdowns last season, and Ward ran for 428 yards and three touchdowns the year before.


As a sales professional, you may be tempted to believe that you have no influence or power when negotiating with a customer. In fact, many sales professionals I work with during my strategic work sessions and seminars don't even realize they are "negotiating" in the first place.
The truth is, you are negotiating every single time you have a conversation with your customer and, more importantly, you have a tremendous amount of power to influence the outcomes of those negotiations. I'll explain . . .
Though the customer does bring the power and influence of the final decision and the checkbook to the table, you and your company bring something to the table that the customer cannot do by herself. Otherwise, you wouldn't be having the conversation in the first place.
You bring an outside perspective, data, research, superior products/services/strategies/ideas and proven strategies to apply your solutions they do not have, that can help them solve their most expensive and pervasive problems. But first, you have to understand what those expensive and pervasive problems are, and you have to prove to them you can solve them.
1. Make a Value List. Based on the research you've done, and the conversations you've had with the customer, what is it that you perceive they value, need or want to feel like doing business with you is the right decision? What are 5-10 items you could give to them to add value to them, and help them achieve the outcomes they desire? Likewise, what are 5-10 you could ask for, in return, to be able to achieve the outcomes you and your company desire?
Make an actual list and have it with you during your next conversation with the customer. The purpose of the list is not to give all or ask for all on your list, it's to encourage creative give-and-take, and solution creation between you and the customer.
Enter a "What if?" Conversation. Now, take your list and start a non-committal, hypothetical exchange based on the list in front of you. "Mr. Smith, suppose we were to offer x?", "Would you consider . . .?" "How would you feel if . . ." Basically what you're doing here is testing the waters without raising sales resistance. You're just feeling your customer out to see which of the items on your list may or may not have merit. You're not promising anything, and the customer isn't committing to anything (yet).
2. Ask the Most Important Question. The most significant and important question you can ask your customer, to understand what they truly value, is some version of "what do you want?" How you ask this question is going to depend strongly on the relationship you have. The bottom line here is, you can do all the testing you want in step 1, but until you ask some of this question, you're guessing at what they value, at best.
The secret to asking the "what do you want question" and getting a sincere and favorable response is to honestly disclose what it is you truly value and want from the business relationship first. When you do this, it lowers the resistance and defensiveness of the customer. They feel safe disclosing their true needs and wants because you did so first.
You can't begin to imagine the catastrophe I've witnessed when one party asks what the other "wants" before they volunteer what they "want." That's a recipe for conflict if ever I've seen one.
4. Partner to Create Viable Options. Many times your products, services, strategies and/or ideas won't appear to have merit with your customer. It won't be clear to you or to them how you can solve their problem. This is where the fun begins but, unfortunately, it's where most sales professionals throw in the towel and admit defeat.
If you've handles steps 1 and 2 properly, you've built adequate trust with your customer and created a problem solving momentum. Now, instead of trying to sell them a solution to their problem, get on the same side of the table as you customer, literallyand figuratively, and team up against the problem. Begin brainstorming ways to overtake the problem based on what you learned and discussed in the first two steps. Offer ideas and encourage them to do the same. When you here some for of "well, that won't work, but what if we try this?" coming from your customer, you've successfully entered the battle together.
5. Fight for Their Win. Now it's time to bring it home by assuring your customer you won't quit until you find a way to help them achieve their outcomes in a way that is fair and comfortable for the both of you. More importantly, make sure they know that you're fighting hard to help them achieve their win.
Consistently applying these steps to the negotiations conversations your having with your customers will help you to understand what it is they truly value. Once you do, you can then partner with them to help them achieve their outcomes.
Sometimes, however, helping the customer achieve a win for their business may require you to refer them elsewhere for the short term, but it will lock you in as a trusted advisor, and you will be able to serve their business and drive revenue for your company long term.
After fourteen years as a successful sales professional, and six and a half years of training & coaching sales professionals, I find that there's one critical conversation that only the absolute best of all sales professionals are having with their customers.
I admit that this is not a conversation I was having as a sales professional, but it is one that every single sales professional, and I as a small business owner, should have on a regular basis, with each and everyone of our customers.
I refer to it as the partnering conversation. Now, if believe that you already know what this is all about, I invite you challenge yourself, and stay tuned.
If you are a sales professional, or a sales manager, this one thing, injected into your current sales process, could blow your current numbers out of the water - literally overnight. Bold claim I know, but stick around and you'll see.
This partnering conversation should take place between the investigation and solution recommendation stages of your sales process.
"Suppose we . . ." "Have you considered . . .?" "What if we . . ." "Would you be willing?" "Could you possibly . . ." "What would it mean if . . .?"
Or some other verbiage that get creative ideas flowing, and on the table, with out raising sales resistance, or causing the customer to shut down.
"I'm not committing to anything here, nor am I asking for a decision on your part, but what if . . .?'"
This makes it safe for the customer to engage in hypothetical back and forth without the threat or fear of committing to anything in that moment.
When, and only when, the customer engages in the conversation with agreement, or some version of "well we can't necessarily do that, but what about this?," you know that you have successfully gotten the customer to invest in the solution creating process and partnering with you.
I've heard it said, time and time again, that "people support what they help create." If you're consistently getting push back, or objections, even to objections that you've covered before they've arisen, it's because your customer doesn't feel invested in the solution creation process.
Why would they buy something that is not their idea? We all know that nobody like to be sold to, but everybody likes to buy stuff. We also are aware that the difference between the two is who came up with the idea.
If you never engage your customer in a legitimate partnership conversation, don't be surprised if they disconnect when you recommended your solution.
However, if you successfully engage in that partnership conversation, more times than not, if you did a thorough job from the start of your sales process up to that point, you will not have to use "closing techniques" to win the business.
It will echo what one of my mentors told me many years ago: "If you have to close, then you don't know how to sell."
I have come to understand, since he said that, that it simply means if you know how to get your customer creating the solution with you, they can't wait to buy.
Start injecting this conversation into your current sales process, and then come back to this post and share your experience in a comment below. I'd love tho hear about it.
If you have a question about this post, leave it below in the comment section, and I will do my best to help you out.
If you would like to have me do a FREE lunch-and-learn or sales meeting webinar for your sales professionals, on this topic, send me an email at info@influenceseminars.com.


Almost every tall kid has been asked: "Do you play basketball?". Nevermind that it takes a ton of raw talent and skill to play basketball professionally. This seems to be the first (and only) job that springs into people's minds when they see a tall person.
While we are happy to have NBA players rep our Tall Slim Tees, there have to be more jobs where height can be a major bonus. With a little research and creativity, we've created a list of jobs where tallness can top the market.
There is a ton of equipment when it comes to a full movie set but smaller projects and journalists may not have the budget to have all the equipment of a Hollywood set. Enter the tall person.
Imagine following a broadcast journalist through a crowd. Who better to capture the impact of a protest than someone above the sea of confusion? In a more traditional set, tall people can run camera and lighting rigging faster than shorter co-workers as they won't need to constantly run for the ladder.
Models are by and large all tall people. Fashion designers love our long limbs because it displays their clothes best and it always looks impressive when tall slim legs strut down a catwalk.
The average height range for female models is 5'9" – 6". Male models tend to range between 5'11" – 6'2. So if you think you've got what it takes to walk the runway, slip into your favorite shirt and put your tall self out there!
There are construction and skilled labor jobs that can use your height to the best advantage.
Foreman – Who is going to argue with you when you tower over them? In all seriousness, studies have shown that tall people make more and are more respected than shorter colleagues.
Electrician – Unless it's a vaulted ceiling, there isn't a ceiling high enough for you to need a ladder to install a light fixture. Things may become tricky as you install outlets but that's what apprentices are for, right?
Painter – Do the work in half the time it takes other painters because you don't need a silly ladder. Bonus, since most painting jobs are paid by project and not time, you earn the money and save time.
So the next time some pipsqueak asks if you're going to play in the NBA, you've got some ready job answers to whip out which can use your height to the fullest.

Kim Dong-yeon "Fighting between high castles during the President's report on the real estate measures of the Wen government"
['삼프로TV' 화면 갈무리]
New Wave Presidential Candidate Dong-yeon Kim revealed the back story on the 9th, saying, "When the Moon Jae-in administration (as deputy prime minister for economy) took measures against real estate, there was a big fight with the Blue House and the castle went to and fro. It happened while reporting to the president."
Candidate Kim, who served as the first Deputy Prime Minister of the Moon Jae-in government, appeared on the economy-specialized YouTube channel 'Sampro TV' and said, "There was a chief of the Blue House and a chief of staff, and almost anything '1 to 15-20'. The economy at that time was Hong Jang-pyo. He was the chief, but Kim Soo-hyeon, senior social worker, did real estate. The policy director was Jang Ha-seong," he said.
He said, "Two things collided. I was in the position that a political ideology should not be incorporated into real estate, and I talked about expanding supply because a policy to curb speculation was not enough.
He also said, "I won't say who it is about (multi-homeowner) capital gains tax (heavy duty), but the core of one said '100% taxation of the difference between transfers'. So I was surprised and said, 'Are you crazy. This country is not a socialist country' "I refused," he said.
He said, "At the time, I suggested 'You can defer the transfer tax for a multi-family home for two years and then renew it after two years and raise it by 5%,' he said. But I continued to be stubborn, so the secretary who was present even said, 'Are you protesting against the president?'" he said.
He continued, "After the decision was made and I came out, the chief and the chief of staff came along and had a great fight. I even said very harsh words and even made a fuss. I said 'I'm going to quit' when I came along." But I was so angry at the time that I didn't receive it and said that I would rather upload more."
Candidate Kim recalled, "There have been several occasions where the city has gone to town. It was the same when the minimum wage was raised sharply and when the corporate tax was raised."
Candidate Kim said, "Like orchestra conducting, we have to look at the entire real estate issue, from supply, regulation, and regional balanced development, but this government only 'strengthened regulations'." I kept insisting, but there are things that the deputy prime minister can decide and there are many things that the president decides," he said, suggesting that there was opposition from the president.
He said, "No matter how good policies are made, they often fail. The biggest reason is communication with the market and the people," he said.
Regarding the measures of the Democratic Party's Lee Jae-myung and the People's Power Presidential Candidate Yoon Seok-yeol's measures for small business owners and the self-employed, he pointed out that "there is no reality at all in talking about '50 trillion won, 100 trillion won, an additional budget by issuing government bonds'" and pointed out, "Next year's budget of 607 trillion won If 10% of the members of the National Assembly are deducted from the SOC project for the constituency of the National Assembly and restructured, 30 trillion won will come out.
Regarding the real estate supply policies of the two candidates, he criticized them, saying, "Both sides have many problems due to liberal populism. They say they will build 1 million and 2 million units within their tenure, but they can't build it. Both are lies."
Regarding the two candidates, he pointed out, "One doesn't seem to know what it is, and the other throws it around, but economic philosophy seems to be absent in them."
Regarding Candidate Jae-myung Lee's promises of 'the world's fifth-largest national power (G5), national income of $50,000, and stock price of 5,000', he said, "It reminds me of the '7/4/7' (former President Lee Myung-bak) promises. Through election slogans and populism It's an empty story," he said.
Candidate Kim said, "The next government must hold a real estate hearing within one year of taking office. Success or failure depends on whether you give trust within one year." He said, "The key to supplying housing is 'fast track.' We will implement a 'housing reservation system' by creating a fast track so that people can move in until they move in."
In particular, he said, "We have to break the problem of 'All-in' in the metropolitan area." "The amount of public land has to come out more, and the green belt, which has a low preservation value, needs to be loosened. We have to use different methods," he said.
Candidate Kim said, "If I come to power, all 300 members of the National Assembly will be opposition parties," Kim said.

Almorexant (INN, codenamed ACT-078573) is an orexin antagonist, functioning as a competitive receptor antagonist of the OX1 and OX2 orexin receptors, which was being developed by the pharmaceutical companies Actelion and GSK for the treatment of insomnia. Development of the drug was abandoned in January 2011.
Originally developed by Actelion, from 2007 almorexant was being reported as a potential blockbuster drug, as its novel mechanism of action (orexin receptor antagonism) was thought to produce better quality sleep and fewer side effects than the traditionalbenzodiazepine and z drugs which dominated the multibillion-dollar insomnia medication market.
In 2008, pharmaceutical giant GlaxoSmithKline bought the development and marketing rights for almorexant from Actelion for an initial payment of $147 million. The deal was worth a potential $3.2billion if the drug were to successfully complete clinical development and obtain FDA approval. GSK and Actelion continued to develop the drug together, and completed a Phase IIIclinical trial in November 2009.
An enantioselective synthesis of almorexant, a potent antagonist of human orexin receptors, is presented. The chiral tetrahydroisoquinoline core structure was prepared via iridium-catalysed asymmetric intramolecular allylic amidation. Further key catalytic steps of the synthesis include an oxidative Heck reaction at room temperature and a hydrazine-mediated organocatalysedreduction.
To the organic phase of step 11 is added 1 equivalent aqueous hydrochloric acid and then the water removed by azeotropic distillation in vacuo. The precipitate is dissolved by addition of 2-propanol at 75 0C. Concentration of the solution leads to crystallisation and the suspension is then cooled to RT. To ensure complete crystallisation, the suspension is aged at RT, then filtered and washed with a MIBK-2-propanol mixture. The product is dried in vacuo at 50 0C.
Several methods are presented for the enantioselective synthesis of the tetrahydroisoquinoline core of almorexant (ACT-078573A), a dual orexin receptor antagonist. Initial clinical supplies were secured by the Noyori Ru-catalyzed asymmetric transfer hydrogenation (Ru-Noyori ATH) of the dihydroisoquinoline precursor. Both the yield and enantioselectivity eroded upon scale-up. A broad screening exercise identified TaniaPhos as ligand for the iridium-catalyzed asymmetric hydrogenation with a dedicated catalyst pretreatment protocol, culminating in the manufacture of more than 6 t of the acetate salt of the tetrahydroisoquinoline. The major cost contributor was TaniaPhos. By switching the dihydroisoquinoline substrate of the Ru-Noyori ATH to its methanesulfonate salt, the ATH was later successfully reduced to practice, delivering several hundreds of kilograms of the tetrahydroisoquinoline, thereby reducing the catalyst cost contribution significantly. The two methods are compared with regard to green and efficiency metrics.

staring into the coldness of the black stove.
He thinks of gas slithering into his brain.
The birds sing like seething.
He inhales smoke from his head by covering his ears and his mouth and his nose.
He feels ashes rolling off his shoulders.
He thinks he's a pile on the floor, spreading out.
Into mouths with black, ever-receding tongues.
Here, here, the circus-makers say: this death, not that death.
Or a dream far from death, a woman dressed in black, beckoning.
At home knitting onions to a pillowcase, or stuffing a turkey with air.
I ride along the docks mixing potions in my shoes, sweat and gravel.
In early metamorphic stages on return to mythic forms.
And it hurts, it really hurts to be so alone.
Cops over. You are worth nothing, my friend.
Like a spilled vase, the milk pouring from your eyes.
Where nothing is worth the place where we were.

Will Norris CAN believe it's butter, apparently. Picture: Simon Lankester.
A stellar performance from former U's keeper Will Norris took his new side Wolverhampton Wanderers to within a few spot-kicks of victory over Manchester City in the Carabao Cup.
Wolves made nine changes to the starting line-up against a City team including the likes the Sergio Aguero and Gabriel Jesus and fans were justifiably worried about the likelihood of them reaching the quarter finals of the competition.
But an outstanding performance from Norris throughout the 90 minutes caught the attention of fans of both Wolves and beyond.
Indeed, the former Royston Town keeper is the only person to keep a clean sheet against City after 90 minutes of football this season.
And soon enough teammates and fans of his former clubs voiced their support as the game edged towards penalites.
And after a flurry of late chances for City - most notably Leroy Sane's - the game did go to spot-kicks.
Norris' opposite number - Claudio Bravo - became the hero, saving three penalties in a row and City progressed.
But that did not stop an outpouring of support for both Wolves and Norris in particular, who was part of a Crows side that lost 3-0 to Godalming Town just four years ago.
And, as is the way with modern football fandom, a #WillNorrisfacts trend started on Twitter in honour of the keeper.

CHIHUAHUA, MEXICO--(Marketwire - May 20, 2008) - Paramount Gold and Silver Corp. (TSX:PZG)(AMEX:PZG)(FRANKFURT:P6G)(WKN:A0HGKQ) has received the assay results from 3 additional drill holes in the San Miguel Vein. Drill hole SM-36 intersected the main structure 100 meters below hole SM-35, near the center of the 'Clavo 99' zone. SM-37 was drilled very close to and parallel to SM-36. SM-37 cut the main vein approximately 10 meters above SM-36. SM-38 intersected the main vein 50 meters below and 80 meters southeast of SM-35. As the table of intercepts below indicates, all were well mineralized. Drilling continues at 'Clavo 99'.
Holes SM-36, 37 and 38 demonstrate that 'Clavo 99' persists for more than 300 meters below the surface and is at least 450 meters wide at this depth. It remains open to the southeast and at depth. A second core drill was added recently to define the limits of the mineralization along strike.
Larry Segerstrom, COO of Paramount Gold and Silver Corp., commented, "Drill holes SM-36, 37 and SM-38 extend the excellent mineralization seen in holes SM-34 and SM-35 down dip and to the southeast. Clavo 99 now has been shown to have a depth extent greater than 300 meters, a width of at least 450 meters and to remain open. As noted before, gold values are increasing relative to silver."
The principal intercept in SM-36 was 0.64 meters (true width) grading 8.24 g/t Au and 431 g/t Ag, or 16.56 g/t gold-equivalent (Au Eq.). This was within an intercept of 3.15 meters (true width) grading 3.04 g/t Au and 154 g/t Ag, or 6.1 g/t Au Eq. In SM-37, the principal intercept was 1.67 meters grading 2.46 g/t Au and 86 g/t Ag or 4.18g/t Au Eq. This was within an intercept of 4.18 meters grading 1.36 g/t Au and 53 g/t Ag, or 2.42 g/t Au Eq. In hole SM-38 the principal intercept was 3.8 meters grading 1.34 g/t Au and 436 g/t Ag, or 10.06 g/t Au Eq.
