For many professionals, the question of how to sell themselves and their services to the business community is consistently cited as their single biggest challenge. Those talented few who love to sell and do it well are fortunate, indeed.
And yet, no matter how talented and skillful we are as professionals, if we do not step up to the selling challenge with clear intentions, we run the risk of facing the ongoing dilemma of "not enough" – not enough business, not enough clients, not enough money, and certainly not enough fun developing business.
What follows is an overview of Intentional Selling™, a client-focused selling approach for consultants that is congruent with a high level of professional image. It approaches the sales interaction from a problem-solving and client-based perspective every step of the way.
This approach, which is applicable to people in many different professions and industries, can literally transform the dreaded job of business development to one that is fun, rich in learning, and extraordinarily rewarding, not only for professionals but, more importantly, for prospective clients as well.
This article looks at each of these "logjams" and offers new insights and resourceful ways of thinking that will undoubtedly lead to greater sales success. It also includes some written exercises to help you discover your own potential barriers to selling.
In my work with Partners in Performance and as an Intentional Selling™ coach, I have met many professionals who are not crystal clear on the distinction between marketing and selling. They see marketing as a way to avoid the dreaded job of selling their services. This resistance to selling is illustrated below.
One of the former "Big5" professional services firms responded to fierce competition by rolling out a sales coaching program for their associates and partners in North America. As one of the coaches involved, I quickly learned that the biggest obstacle the professionals had with their business development efforts were the limiting assumptions and beliefs that they associated with selling. Many wouldn't even use the "s" word. They instead referred to business development as "marketing," under the misguided assumption that marketing alone would take care of selling.
But there is indeed a difference between marketing and selling. Marketing is like the grease that lubricates the hinges on a door. Just as the lubricant makes it easier to open the door, marketing makes it easier to sell.
Selling, on the other hand, involves opening the door, opening the relationship, and proactively winning new clients or creating more business with existing clients. It is critical to be clear on the distinction and to integrate both marketing and selling in your business development process.
David Maister, long considered an expert in marketing and managing professional firms, refers to the "Raspberry Jam Rule" – the wider you spread it, the thinner it gets. Rather than paying attention to a lot of prospects, it is always better to give a lot of attention to a smaller, well-selected audience.
A well-executed marketing plan will generate high quality leads. But without the process of selling, too many of those leads will remain just that – leads.
The definition of selling in Webster's New World Dictionary is "to cause to take." Having a clear process that helps your clients to take (buy) your service is what selling is all about. It is an enormously untapped opportunity for many professional people.
Before we examine the process of selling, it is most important to pay attention to our thoughts, assumptions and beliefs about selling. Unfortunately, many professionals equate selling with the in-your-face aggressive selling approach.
Sadly, we have all experienced the negative impact that the hard sales approach creates. But the hard sell is dead. Selling has evolved significantly in the business world. It is now a profession, with people who are committed to using the art and skill of true professionals.
As professionals, one of the ways we help our clients create breakthroughs is to look for opportunities to raise their awareness of the assumptions and beliefs that may be limiting their potential.
In my coaching work, this is one of the first things we need to address.
Intentional Selling™ begins with examining those limiting assumptions and beliefs, and then explores their impact on behaviour.
Jim Cameron (name changed) is a well respected, seasoned sales professional with solid expertise in the financial services industry. He has long standing clients, with whom he enjoys excellent relationships. He is one of the top sales producers for his company.
Since he was already successful, he was open to a refresh but assumed he would not learn anything new.
He believed he already knew his clients and their needs, so honing his questioning skills would yield little added value.
He believed his relationships with his clients, along with periodic product updates, golf treats, and lunches were enough to create sales.
With his record of success and strong relationships with his clients, it was difficult for Jim to see a need to change anything in his selling processes. Nevertheless, he listened and participated in the program without any clear plan to do anything differently.
After friendly rapport building and catching up, he shifted the focus of the lunch meeting. He used the Engage structure to open the meeting, and set the stage for strategic questioning ("Discovery Dialogue"). Strategic questioning was something he had not done for a long while because he assumed he already knew her and her needs.
Jim learned all kinds of things about his client and her business which both amazed and surprised him. His client gained new awareness and insights about her business and she told Jim he created a lot of value for her just with the questions he asked her.
After the meeting, she called Jim and thanked him again for a very productive meeting and told him it was the best meeting she had ever had.
As a result of the meeting, Jim came up with some very creative and big solutions that were spot on and she was on board! That meeting took their relationship to an even stronger level.
Jim attributed the successful meeting to his intention to establish focus and clarity about the meeting purpose and to ask strategic "Discovery" questions in a new and structured way.
You may think you know which assumptions you hold that creep into your thinking when it comes to selling. However, a word of caution: This is not easy to uncover and discover. Unless you devote time and effort to learn your own limiting assumptions, many of your beliefs risk remaining out of your conscious awareness, operating in the background to sabotage your best efforts.
It is difficult to discover this on your own without a structured program and process, without a coach to help you work your way around your own self-limiting and sabotaging barriers.
The more time you spend on this, the more you will uncover deep seated thoughts and feelings.
However, aligning our thoughts alone is not enough. Systems, structures and processes that support our selling intentions are required for sustainable success.
Professionals clearly understand the need for structure and process for the delivery of their services and yet many do not have a clear process for selling their services.
Intentional Selling™ incorporates a 6-step process that easily aligns your selling process with your identity as a consultant. It allows professionals to be who they are and to demonstrate their expertise during the selling process.
The 6-step process is a framework that guides you through the face-to-face meeting (it can also be used for ear-to-ear phone meetings). The important thing to know is that there is a clear and structured process that works to produce consistent results. And, when you learn to use the process, you will be seen as a true professional, demonstrating genuine care for your prospective client – and your results will skyrocket.
Intentional Selling™ is totally consistent with the models, skills and principles used by professionals in delivering their services. But it is also different. And it is critical to know the distinction. For example, both processes focus on the needs of the client, use sophisticated questioning skills to uncover their needs and require the skills of influence to move them to action.
But there is a distinct structure, mindset and selling skill we need to become aware of. Learning how to execute sales process skills seamlessly and with excellence is one of the best investments professionals can make in themselves in order to secure and increase their earning capacity.
Furthermore, these selling skills transfer over to your consulting work, and will improve your ability to influence and provide value with clients in meeting their business needs.
An overview of the sales process is introduced below.
All of the above steps have a critical purpose and for each there is a clear methodology. Each step is an opportunity to demonstrate your capability and professionalism; each step is an opportunity to differentiate yourself from other professionals.
What many professionals don't realize is that without a clear selling process, they are missing an important opportunity to not only distinguish themselves from competitors, but to provide evidence of their promised value to clients.
When you don't have a clear intentional selling process as outlined above, you aren't demonstrating your true worth to the business needs of clients… and therefore, prospects risk not being able to appreciate the quality of services you are offering.
You aren't demonstrating a clear, structured and professional approach.
And that is truly a pity. When you have exceptional talents to help others, it's disappointing to not be able to deliver what prospects and clients need. Intentional Selling™ helps your clients see clearly what their needs are and the possible solutions within their reach.
Within each step there are specific elements and distinctions which demonstrate your competence and integrity, which reassures prospects and clients they can trust you.
In summary, Intentional Selling™ is professional selling at its best – selling with integrity, adding value every step of the way, creating win-win outcomes and, most importantly, focusing on the clients' needs.
Intentional Selling™ is a proven, structured way of selling your services that is about being a trusted advisor, not only when you are consulting, but also when you are marketing and selling your services.
When you are attuned with who you are as a professional, when you learn the skills of Intentional Selling™ and when you focus your attention on the client, the days of 'not enough' become a thing of the past. When you develop your business with clear intention, you will experience not only more abundance of business but also more joy in the process of creating it.

KAZAN, Russia — The best female swimmers in the world cover 50 meters, swimming the backstroke, in about 27 seconds. Fatema Abdulmohsen Ahmed Almahme, a 16-year-old from Bahrain, did it in 40.4 in the first-round heats here Wednesday morning. She was last in a field of 52. Afterward, she was thrilled.
If it's indisputable that the track and field world championships mark the coming together of the entire world, with athletes from 214 nations, let it be said that Kazan 2015 boasts swimmers from 189. That's up from 177 at the last edition of the swim world championships, in Barcelona in 2013.
Papua New Guinea? Nicaragua? Namibia? Yep.
Swimming's diversity outreach — what in Olympic circles is called "universality" — is but a key facet of how all water sports have grown in popularity around the world. With exactly one year to go until the Aug. 5, 2016, start of the Rio Olympics, the water has never been more popular and never enjoyed so many opportunities.
Owing in measure to Michael Phelps, "aquatics," as the sport with its many disciples is known, has now — along with gymnastics — joined track and field in what the International Olympic Committee considers an "A" sport in terms of revenue, the top of the Olympic ladder.
Almost everyone everywhere can walk or run. Swimming, synchro, diving and water polo are obviously more problematic. FINA, swimming's international governing body, has made concerted efforts in recent years to innovate, to make being in and around the water far more interesting and entertaining — lessons that play out in the experience not just of being in but at the meet.
These are lessons that world-class track and field, among other sports, could stand to learn.
Two years ago, for instance, FINA introduced the high-dive event, its take on action sports. It proved a huge success and now stands at the forefront of any serious discussion about additions to the Olympic program.
There are events for men and women; the men jump off a 88-foot tower, the height of a nine-story building, the women off one just a little lower. It's mandatory to enter the water feet-first -- head-first might, literally, kill you.
In Wednesday's men's final at the Kazanka River, Britain's Gary Hunt won gold. One of his dives: back three somersaults with four twists.
Tuesday's women's final saw American Rachelle Simpson -- who won the high-dive World Cup here a year ago -- take first place.
FINA has also introduced mixed relays, men and women swimming together. That produced two world records in short order Wednesday morning -- first the Russian team, moments later the Americans. At night, the British team won, in 3:41.71, yet another world record.
Halfway through these championships, there have been 10 swimming world records. In Barcelona two years ago, just six.
In the pool Wednesday night, Katie Ledecky added to her amazing run, winning the 200 free in 1:55.16. Italy's Federica Pellegrini took second, American Missy Franklin third.
Ledecky had already won the 400 and 1500; in the 1500, she set two world records, one in the prelims, another in the finals.
The 800, later this week, would appear to be a lock. Understand what Ledecky is doing: not since the great Australian Shane Gould in the 1970s has there been a female swimmer with the range, versatility, power -- and in-pool remorselessness, swimming with zero fear -- that Ledecky is showing here.
Britain's Adam Peaty claimed the 50 breaststroke. He became the first man ever to win the 50 and 100 breaststrokes at a worlds.
China's Sun Yang took the 800 free -- zero surprise, his third straight 800 worlds title. Earlier in the meet, he won the 400 and took second in the 200.
For spectators, Kazan 2015 has featured DJs before the evening sessions whose job it it to amp things up; cheerleaders; mascots (of course, in this instance snow leopards Itil and Alsu); and a "Boss Cam," the Russian version of a Kiss Cam.
Outside Kazan Arena, the soccer stadium that for the run of the championships features a competition and training pool, there is what's called "FINA Park," with food, souvenirs and, pretty much every night, live music. The idea is to turn a swim meet into an experience with your friends or family; FINA Park has been jammed; crowds swarmed the gates just before noon Wednesday, waiting for the park to open.
The athletes — at least those who swim in the evening semifinals and finals — get individually introduced after walking from the plastic chairs in the call room through a dark hall and then out into the noise and light. It's the swimming version of coming in from the baseball bullpen.
It makes for drama and, of course, helps tell the crowd who to root for.
Even for those whose moment in the spotlight is in the morning prelims, it's all good.
Qatar's Noah Al-Khulaifi finished last in the men's 200 fly prelims, at 2:26.71; it was a long way from there up the ranking list to Hungary's Laszlo Cseh, who recorded the top qualifying time, 1:53.53, and would go on Wednesday night to win the finals over South Africa's Chad le Clos. No matter. Noah, a teen-ager who had felt sick on the plane trip in from Moscow to Kazan, was adopted as a crowd favorite, including an American contingent led by the U.S. standout Conor Dwyer's parents, Pat and Jeanne.
For 20-year-old Mark Hoare of the African nation of Swaziland, finishing at 59.62 in the 100 free prelims — in 106th place, more than 11 seconds behind the top qualifier, China's Ning Zelao, at 48.11 — couldn't have been better.
These championships indisputably underscore the increasingly global reach of swimming. Consider the start lists for the first two heats (of seven) of the men's 100 backstroke -- not freestyle, the most basic stroke, but the even more technically demanding backstroke.
Heat 1: Lebanon, Kenya, Nicaragua, Uganda, Bangladesh, Qatar, Myanmar, Bahrain, Jordan and the Cook Islands.
Heat 2: Botswana, Azerbaijan, Turkmenistan, Mexico, Macedonia, Jamaica, Morocco, Namibia, the United Arab Emirates and the Dominican Republic.
There is, of course, the matter of swimming. And it is hard to swim 100 meters — two laps of the pool.
Ethiopia's Robel Kiros Habte, at 1:04.41, finished 115th — out of 115 swimmers — in the 100 free prelims. "The last 50 meters was much too hard for me," he said.
Giordon Harris of the Marshall Islands finished 99th, in 57.75. This was his third FINA worlds, after Barcelona 2013 and Shanghai 2011. He also competed in the London 2012 Games, in the 50 free, placing 46th.
The Marshall Islands is a remote place, out in the Pacific Ocean, roughly 2,100 miles southwest of Honolulu.

Stanfield, Peter
A Band with Built-In Hate: The Who from Pop Art to Punk
by Peter Stanfield
Reaktion Books, 2022
Paper: 978-1-78914-646-2 | Cloth: 978-1-78914-277-8 | eISBN: 978-1-78914-278-5
Exploring the explosion of the Who onto the international music scene, this heavily illustrated book looks at this furious band as an embodiment of pop art.
"Ours is music with built-in hatred," said Pete Townshend. A Band with Built-In Hate pictures the Who from their inception as the Detours in the mid-sixties to the late-seventies, post-Quadrophenia. It is a story of ambition and anger, glamor and grime, viewed through the prism of pop art and the radical leveling of high and low culture that it brought about—a drama that was aggressively performed by the band. Peter Stanfield lays down a path through the British pop revolution, its attitude, and style, as it was uniquely embodied by the Who: first, under the mentorship of arch-mod Peter Meaden, as they learned their trade in the pubs and halls of suburban London; and then with Kit Lambert and Chris Stamp, two aspiring filmmakers, at the very center of things in Soho. Guided by contemporary commentators—among them, George Melly, Lawrence Alloway, and most conspicuously Nik Cohn—Stanfield describes a band driven by belligerence and delves into what happened when Townshend, Daltrey, Moon, and Entwistle moved from back-room stages to international arenas, from explosive 45s to expansive concept albums. Above all, he tells of how the Who confronted their lost youth as it was echoed in punk.
Peter Stanfield's books include Maximum Movies: Pulp Fictions, Hoodlum Movies, and, most recently, Pin-Ups 1972: Third Generation Rock 'n' Roll, the last also published by Reaktion Books.
"With impressive eloquence, A Band with Built-in Hate situates '60s Britain's most volatile and incendiary group at the heart of pop's wild vortex, its sonic assaults on the class system and the cultural status quo. Stanfield digs brilliantly into the Who's transgressions, their upending of entertainment, their transmuting of pop music into art-rock and proto-punk. He can see for miles."
— Barney Hoskyns, author of "Lowside of the Road: A Life of Tom Waits" and "Major Dudes: A Steely Dan Companion"
"The best book on the Who. Stanfield understands that they were built entirely around opposition—they didn't want to be the Beatles or the Stones; they didn't even want to be the Who most of the time. He smartly states the case for peak Who as transgressive, how their clashing obsessions with primitive rock'n'roll and sociological statements made them so exciting. He also wisely concentrates on their peak years, before pop solidified as rock, when the Who were the closest thing to pop art British music has ever produced."
— Bob Stanley, founding member of St Etienne and author of "Yeah Yeah Yeah: The Story of Modern Pop"
"Stanfield uncovers the underpinnings of the Who. . . . He has masterfully identified the mod, pop art, and art rock stages of the Who's career for rock fans and general readers alike."
"If Roger Daltry's 2018 autobiography was a prosaic foot soldier's telling of the Who story, here is a view from the high plains. . . . The best parts of the book mirror the best of the Who, fizzing with ideas and connections. . . . This book vividly reanimates the nasty, transgressive, scene-shaping thrill of their beginnings."
— Daily Mail
"[The book] brings together some significant criticism of the Who, connecting them with all manner of cultural references, and is a valuable addition to my ever-expanding Who library. That the Who continue to be so well-served by knowledgeable authors is a tribute to their importance."
— Chris Charlesworth, Just Backdated
"Eloquently framing their success as the only successful 1960s UK pop/rock group that didn't want to be either the Beatles or the Rolling Stones, Stanfield locates the Who (and crucially their peak years, during which they were, he writes 'not copyists but innovators') at a boundary-breaking intersection of pop and art-rock."
— Tony Clayton-Lea, Irish Times
"There's some very perceptive writing on the influence the Who had on the wider scene. . . . Essential reading for anyone who's ever loved the Who, or wants an insight into the Sixties' music scene that goes beyond greatest hits compilations and easy generalizations."
— Louder Than War
"[An] ear for apt detail enriches Stanfield's stolid account. He plumbs archives for ephemeral magazines and forgotten interviews to reveal more than the standard recitals of the works."
— PopMatters
"Stanfield examines how the Who took in disparate influences from outside the rock world—influences flying in from the fine and pop arts, youth culture, and so-on—and shipped them back out to be co-opted by everyone from the Creation to the Sex Pistols. It is the first deep, book-length look at an important aspect of the Who's persona and art that is an integral portion of every book on the band."
— Psychobabble
"A Band With Built-in Hate reaffirms the Who's importance to the rock and pop revolutions of the sixties and seventies."
— Choice Magazine (UK)
"That the Who's image was constantly shifting according to whatever they thought would best promote their music in the moment is the focus of Stanfield's new book A Band with Built-In Hate. Stanfield examines how the Who took in disparate influences from outside the rock world—influences flying in from the fine and pop arts, youth culture, and so-on—and shipped them back out to be co-opted by everyone from the Creation to the Sex Pistols. It is the first deep, book-length look at an important aspect of the Who's persona and art that is an integral portion of every book on the band. . . . Fills in the gaps of an important area of Who history."
— Mike Segretto, author of "The Who FAQ: All That's Left to Know About Fifty Years of Maximum R&B"

AL Notes: Royals, Hideki Matsui, Trout
By Tim Dierkes | May 30, 2013 at 1:35pm CDT
The big news out of the American League today comes from the Royals, who announced Hall of Famer George Brett will take over as interim hitting coach in place of Jack Maloof, while Pedro Grifol will take the major league special assignment coach role from Andre David. Brett has worked with the club since retiring in '93, but this marks his first in-season coaching job. He'll have his work cut out for him, as the Royals rank 12th in the AL with 3.98 runs scored per game, tenth with a .314 on-base percentage, and 14th with a .375 slugging percentage. The team's entire infield has failed to hit, right fielder Jeff Francoeur has been terrible as well, and even Billy Butler is slugging just .404. Losers of their last eight, the Royals still have a 6.3% shot at the playoffs, according to Clay Davenport's calculations.
Elsewhere around the American League…
Hideki Matsui will sign a one-day minor league contract with the Yankees on July 28th to announce his official retirement that day as a Yankee, according to a team press release. After playing ten seasons with the Yomiuri Giants, Matsui compiled a .292/.370/.482 line with 140 home runs in seven seasons with the Yankees.
Joel Sherman of the New York Post revisits the Yankees' failed attempt to acquire Cliff Lee from the Mariners in 2010, noting that the players GM Brian Cashman refused to include aren't looking so great these days for the most part.
As the Angels' best player, Mike Trout merits the respect of someone with four or five years of big league service, argues Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports, who feels Trout should stay in his preferred center field even when Peter Bourjos returns from the disabled list. Rosenthal notes that Trout "never once complained about playing left." I should point out that Trout's agent Craig Landis did bring up that "disappointment" in his March statement expressing displeasure with Trout's contract renewal.

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar on The American Dream
I think America has the challenge ahead of it of making the promise of the Constitution real for everyone. Everyone needs to have the opportunity to succeed. That's a very difficult thing to make happen. A lot of societies have tried that and failed. I think we have to continually reassess and reinvent how we approach the promise of the American Dream.

Q: NameNotFoundException for ActiveMQ I created a standalone program which sends messages to a queue residing in JBoss EAP 7.0. I configured my queue details in standalone.xml:
<jms-queue name = "QUEUE.ONE" entries = "java:/jms/QUEUE.ONE"/>

My program is getting connected to the JBoss server. It gets the JNDI lookup value from this code:
String destination = System.getProperty("destination", "jms/queue/QUEUE.ONE");

However, when performing the lookup it is showing:
javax.naming.NameNotFoundException "queue name"

A: You do not have the proper entries for your JMS queue in order to expose it to remote clients. You need to have an entry using the java:jboss/exported namespace, e.g.:
<jms-queue name="QUEUE.ONE" entries="java:/jms/QUEUE.ONE java:jboss/exported/jms/QUEUE.ONE"/>

The on your client you'd use this lookup: jms/QUEUE.ONE.

Our diver testimonials are a great way for divers to get a real feel of what to expect. If you have already become a member of the Blue Lagoon diving family why not take the time to write a testimonial for future divers to read.
I would definitely recommend diving with these guys – they're experienced, consistent, professional & made for a very pleasant diving trip!
First time that I have used Blue Lagoon as previously dived with more well known/advertised companies. They were able to accommodate our varying, needs one of us is an experienced diver with 200+ dives whilst the other is in his own words an SFN "snorkelling flipper novice". Unlike other centres this was not an issue and we were both able to enjoy ourselves without either one feeling a burden or that they were in the wrong place. In fact Blue Lagoon took this all in their stride and their great organisational skills showed through.
We went diving for three dives with this company last week. My daughter and I needed to do a check dive and then did two more dives after that. The instructor was concise and had a most wonderfully calming and yet friendly manner. I think he was the nicest diving instructor ever. He was also exceptionally professional. The dive boat was brand new and the equipment good.
we still like it and this year (2015) we're gonna go there as well.
Great service from pick- up to boat, to crew to, instructor to diving. great organisation and attention to detail. Thank you for a great time and dives.


"Alma Que Canta" - The journey into the soul With Mireya A. Marcet - Welcome! Bienvenidos!
A time of so many extremes, polarities and accelerated change.
A time of deep creative rewiring, powerful confrontation with the rawness of the natural world, opening to the most creative and innovative possibilities, as well as the light and shadows of our human condition.
A time that is demanding all of us to "re-member" and bring forward our most unique and authentic offering to ourselves, our communities and the planet as a whole. A time to awaken and fall deeply in love with the one that lives inside as an earth being.
the awakening into wholeness with HEART.
It is the finding of our unique "song" (metaphorically) ....the most true expression of who we are and what brings us to joy, love and the fullness of who we wish to be in this life.
In this website, I share the kinds of 'soul work' that come closest to my heart, and may reflect the depth and potential of the creative and transformative experience. I have walked each and every one of these paths personally and with others in depth.
What sings your heart to LIFE ?


Various misunderstandings about the tradition of Mass Offerings and clear dangers of exploitation of the Mass can very easily emerge. For this reason, the Irish Bishops wish to make clear the Church's position on Mass Offerings. The following is a brief summary of the Church's teaching and regulation regarding Mass Offerings.
The celebration of the Eucharist is at the heart of our belief and anything that might weaken or undermine our respect for the Eucharist must be avoided.
The practice of giving an offering dates back to the early Church when the faithful gave gifts for the support of the priest and for the poor.
The Mass must never become a matter of 'buying and selling', nor should there be even the slightest appearance of making a profit from mass offerings.
Normally a separate Mass is celebrated for each individual offering. The donor specifies the individual intention and its up to the donor to decide what amount to give. Because donors may sometimes ask how much is appropriate to give, a recommended diocesan offering is specified, a priest may accept less than the specified amount - and many priests on occasion do.
The priest who receives the offering has an obligation to apply Mass for the specific intention of the person who has made the offering. If a priest receives too many mass intentions he must transfer the surplus mass offerings to another priest, (normally these offerings will be sent to priests working in needy areas).
The Church does not encourage 'collective' or 'multi-intentional Masses but rather sees them as an exception. In these exceptional cases, the followwing must apply.
a). It must be made explicitly clear to the donor beforehand that the offering is being combined into a single mass offering and the donor must give free consent to this.
b). The place, date and time for this Mass should be indicated publicly and such masses may not be celebrated any more than two days weekly in any church.
c). The priest who celebrates Mass for a collective intention must not keep any more than the specified diocesan offering, and must transfer any additional amount, in accordance with canon law, for the purpose prescribed by the Bishop.
Having signed or stamped Mass Cards for sale to the public in shops and other commercial outlets is a practice that is not approved by the Irish Episcopal Conference. We ask that this practice, wherever it exists, be discontinued.
We strongly encourage the donor, where possible, to participate in the Mass. We recommend that the intention for which the Mass is being especially offered is mentioned in the prayer of the faithful.

attrs: Classes Without Boilerplate

   :alt: Test Coverage

.. teaser-begin

``attrs`` is the Python package that will bring back the **joy** of **writing classes** by relieving you from the drudgery of implementing object protocols (aka `dunder <https://nedbatchelder.com/blog/200605/dunder.html>`_ methods).

Its main goal is to help you to write **concise** and **correct** software without slowing down your code.

.. -spiel-end-

For that, it gives you a class decorator and a way to declaratively define the attributes on that class:

.. -code-begin-

.. code-block:: pycon

   >>> import attr
   >>> @attr.s
   ... class SomeClass(object):
   ...     a_number = attr.ib(default=42)
   ...     list_of_numbers = attr.ib(default=attr.Factory(list))
   ...
   ...     def hard_math(self, another_number):
   ...         return self.a_number + sum(self.list_of_numbers) * another_number
   >>> sc = SomeClass(1, [1, 2, 3])
   >>> sc
   SomeClass(a_number=1, list_of_numbers=[1, 2, 3])
   >>> sc.hard_math(3)
   19
   >>> sc == SomeClass(1, [1, 2, 3])
   True
   >>> sc != SomeClass(2, [3, 2, 1])
   True
   >>> attr.asdict(sc)
   {'a_number': 1, 'list_of_numbers': [1, 2, 3]}
   >>> SomeClass()
   SomeClass(a_number=42, list_of_numbers=[])
   >>> C = attr.make_class("C", ["a", "b"])
   >>> C("foo", "bar")
   C(a='foo', b='bar')

After *declaring* your attributes ``attrs`` gives you:

- a concise and explicit overview of the class's attributes,
- a nice human-readable ``__repr__``,
- a complete set of comparison methods,
- an initializer,
- and much more,

*without* writing dull boilerplate code again and again and *without* runtime performance penalties.

This gives you the power to use actual classes with actual types in your code instead of confusing ``tuple``\ s or confusingly behaving ``namedtuple``\ s.
Which in turn encourages you to write *small classes* that do `one thing well <https://www.destroyallsoftware.com/talks/boundaries>`_.
Never again violate the `single responsibility principle <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single_responsibility_principle>`_ just because implementing ``__init__`` et al is a painful drag.

.. -testimonials-

``attrs`` is written and maintained by `Hynek Schlawack <https://hynek.me/>`_.

The development is kindly supported by `Variomedia AG <https://www.variomedia.de/>`_.

A full list of contributors can be found in `GitHub's overview <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/graphs/contributors>`_.

It's the spiritual successor of `characteristic <https://characteristic.readthedocs.io/>`_ and aspires to fix some of it clunkiness and unfortunate decisions.
Both were inspired by Twisted's `FancyEqMixin <https://twistedmatrix.com/documents/current/api/twisted.python.util.FancyEqMixin.html>`_ but both are implemented using class decorators because `sub-classing is bad for you <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3MNVP9-hglc>`_, m'kay?

A finger pillory is a style of restraint where the fingers are held in a wooden block, using an L-shaped hole to keep the knuckle bent inside the block. The name is taken from the pillory, a much larger device used to secure the head and hands.

Finger stocks were also used in churches for minor offences, like not paying attention during a sermon. An example still survives in St Helen's Church, Ashby-de-la-Zouch, Leicestershire, England.

Bummer: California's Cap And Trade System May Be Unconstitutional
24 Jan, 2017 by	William Teach
It must have been extremely painful for the LA Times to write this, considering their years long support of Hotcoldwetdry initiatives
The immediate threat to California's climate-change fight isn't Trump, it's this
With President Trump in the Oval Office, California officials are bracing for the possibility that the new administration will undermine the state's landmark policies on climate change. But the more immediate threat isn't coming from Washington; it lies in a lawsuit that has been slowly winding its way through state courts.
The 4-year-old legal challenge pursued by the California Chamber of Commerce and a collection of business interests argues that the cap-and-trade program represents an unconstitutional tax. The system, intended to create a financial incentive to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, requires companies to purchase permits to pollute.
For Gov. Jerry Brown and the environmental community, the lawsuit has been a ticking time bomb that could eliminate a key source of revenue and undermine a program touted as an international model for fighting global warming.
Eventually, they get around to explaining why
Opponents disagree, noting that the state is collecting revenue through a program that wasn't created with a two-thirds vote in both houses of the Legislature, the threshold needed to approve taxes.
"What they're doing is simply outside the law," said Loren Kaye, president of the California Foundation for Commerce and Education, a think tank affiliated with the Chamber of Commerce.
Law shmaw, they have Warmism to accomplish! Doesn't matter that this kind of thing hurts the poor and middle classes, and that the people pushing this the most use more than their fair share of fossil fuels and have bigger carbon footprints. Everyone Else must comply.

Flowers Gallery is delighted to present a suite of prints by photographer Janelle Lynch from her Prix Pictet shortlisted project, Another Way of Looking at Love. A selection of images will also be exhibited at the Victoria and Albert Museum as part of Prix Pictet: Hope, from the 14 November - 9 December 2019.
In Another Way of Looking at Love, Lynch explores the interconnectedness of all life forms and supports a renewal of relations between the natural and spiritual worlds. In some images, Lynch creates points of connection with elements from the same species—Japanese barberry or burdock, for example—while for others, she combines multiple species, such as goldenrod and pokeweed or burning bush and pine trees. Points of connection create spaces where new realities can be envisioned. The depiction of unity, together with color and light, show the beauty and magic of the natural world.
Lynch notes, "We are hardwired for connection and our elemental sameness unites us and transcends our apparent differences. Our wellness and the well-being of the world depend on healthy connections to each other and to the earth."
Borne of awe for the power of nature, Another Way of Looking at Love seeks to re-imagine the power of connection: to one another, to the planet, and to the generative possibilities of the moment.

Feeding any young child can be frustrating. Parents with delayed children are even more likely to encounter difficulties.
One reason parents experience difficulties: Many parents see food as a way to get necessary nutrients into their child, as if the child has no inner sense of what is occurring. While infants know nothing about calories, nutrients or average weights, they have some inherent sense about eating. For all children, food is more a form of communication than a way to get nutrients. And, communication changes as your child grows and develops, no matter what his or her pace of development.
Brazelton, president of the Society for Research in Child Development, and other child development specialists determined that infants and children communicate their feeding needs but not their nutrient needs. Continue reading to understand how to partner with your child— who may be too young or unable to speak— in order to help give him or her needed foods. Keep in mind, developmental specialists who work with delayed children see feeding as a set of roles and innate drives.
Roles are expressed in two ways.
The parent decides what to serve, and when and where to serve the food.
The child decides whether or not to eat.
The basic feeding drives are expressed as milestones in terms of drinking from cups, eating finger foods and using spoons independently. Delayed children, however, may not be able to meet these standard milestones.
The delays that prevent developmentally delayed children from meeting milestones do not eliminate the developmental drives behind the milestones. Delays merely confuse and retard the developmental process toward the child's need for mastery. Parents, therefore, need to be alert to subtle signals that delayed children give. In this short article it is impossible to cover all variations of signals from infants and children. But, it is possible to give a picture of what to look for and what type of help to get.
Early sucking problems are common developmental difficulties. Before a child reaches 6 months of age, occupational or feeding therapists who address oral motor problems usually manage delays. Infants may have reflux and avoid feedings, and such therapists understand the relationship between eating and reflux. Genetic anomalies may also contribute to poor feeding in the early months.
Even at this early stage, parents must pay attention to the communicative aspects of feeding. An infant should participate in eating via hunger cues like voluntarily opening his mouth. A willingly opened mouth indicates that baby wants to eat. Parents should also look for satiety or refusal. Keep in mind that eye contact creates emotional closeness with an infant and serves as the basic tool of observation.
A common parental mistake is trying to get an infant to take just a little more nourishment by jiggling his or her bottle. Doing so removes the infant's need to accept or reject feeding. Research on the "just a bit more method" of bottle feeding finds that babies actually gain less when parents tamper with the child's natural appetite. Another common mistake is pushing a feeding when it is clear that baby does not want more. This bothers baby, and feeding will eventually become an unpleasant chore for everyone. If your baby's pediatrician sees the need for more calories, he or she can advise under-diluting formula or adding olive oil or microlipids to formula. If your child experienced time in the NICU and prematurity occurred, you may want to contact developmentally trained NIDCAP specialists if sucking and feeding are confused.
When solid foods are introduced, the roles still apply. Parents provide; children eat or do not eat. If the child's interest and responses are not met within the individual developmental context, a low weight and refusals often occur. Being underweight generally stems from insufficient calories, but often continues when parents and therapists pay too little attention to drives during feedings and refusals. Most infants want to eat solids, use a cup at 6 months and take finger foods at 7 months. They do not know they have a delay if they have an expressed desire. The trick is to figure out a way to match the developmental drives with the state of development.
Look for readiness cues like your child's curious eyes and gestures toward your cup. For solids, his eyes focus on food and his mouth is open as if he is ready to eat. Is his head erect? An erect head signals that liquids may be taken from cups and solids may be taken without overconcern for choking. For many delayed infants and children, maintaining an erect head is a problem. Parents should speak with the therapist to tend to this issue. Perhaps a special chair or simply supporting the child's head will help your child to use a cup by himself or take solids. Your baby might also be satisfied if you hold the cup and place his little hands on it.
Should you even introduce solids? Oral motor problems often interfere with infant's drives to take solids. If your baby expresses interest, work with the therapist to help your baby join family meals. Put any food for baby in the blender. Just be mindful that babies often know they are not getting the same food as Mom and Dad.
Sometimes, your great feeding therapist gets baby's lips, jaws, tongue and throat to work together, but your baby still refuses solids. Are there sensory issues? It is certainly possible that sensory problems are creating complications. Try the following to see if sensory issues and developmental drives are making matters worse. Place a spoon at your child's lips, not in his mouth. Spoons placed involuntarily in your baby's mouth eliminates his ability to make a choice.
The standard sign to start offering finger foods is the presence of the pincer grasp— when baby connects the tips of his index finger and thumb. The pincer grasp relates to swallowing ability. Sometimes the pincer milestone will be met later. In other cases, there is no pincer grasp due to real or suspected delays. Is there emotional readiness? Is spoon feeding going well? If it is, maybe try placing a puff at his lips. If your child takes the puff with no trouble, consider other early starter solids like banana bits. Place the finger foods at the lips. If there is no interest or ability, waiting is appropriate. Speak with your pediatrician or feeding therapist for further guidance.
At 9 months, babies typically want to hold their spoons. Is your child showing interest in using a spoon himself? Or, is he starting to refuse spoon feedings, but currently lacks the ability to hold a spoon? Stand behind your child. Hold his hand while he holds the spoon. Sometimes, the occupational therapist can adapt spoons, making them easier for children to grasp. If your child likes feeding himself, you will know. You've tapped into his developmental drives. If he shows no interest or pleasure in personal feedings, the task can wait. If he resists feeding himself, wait. Try the task again in a few weeks.
The answer to many feeding developmental problems is patience and love. If feeding difficulties predominantly result from parent-child interaction problems, then such problems are likely to pass with informed parenting.
Richard Kahn, MS, RD, is a nutritionist who specializes in working with families of children with developmental delays. He is pursuing doctoral research in the psychosocial aspects of failure to thrive.

This Bizarre Performance Artist Will Make You Wonder What The Word 'Art' Even Means
"I'm Poppy. I'm Poppy. I'm Poppy. I'm Poppy."
If you frequent YouTube pretty often, you've probably heard this weird, repetitive string of introductions that barely scratch the surface of the strange behavior people have come to expect from Moriah Rose Pereira, better known by her stage name, Poppy. Part pop singer and part performance artist, this internet phenom is known for creating some of the most bizarre content on the web — but she must be doing something right, because she's amassed an insane number of fans.
Here's the aforementioned "I'm Poppy" video. Just 10 straight minutes of her telling us who she is.
The brainchild of Pereira and director Corey Michael Mixter, better known as Titanic Sinclair, the Poppy character emerged in 2015 when she uploaded the first video to her YouTube channel, which featured the perpetually pastel-clad woman eating pink cotton candy.
https://www.instagram.com/p/Be5n4NOlqit
Ever since, Poppy's been releasing bubblegum pop-type music and putting out a steady stream of increasingly nonsensical videos, in which she talks in an innocent, soft, almost ASMR-like voice and behaves the way you'd expect a robot would.
Critics and fans alike regard her videos as social commentary on internet and pop culture…

…as well as our growing dependency on technology, especially computers and handheld gadgets.
https://www.instagram.com/p/BYefyrhFW_L
Indeed, if you watch enough of her videos, you'll notice they seem to take jabs at society's fascination and obsession with idolizing celebrities, as well as the superficiality of the entertainment industry.
https://www.instagram.com/p/BeAVtS9Ft8k
Oh, and she obviously just enjoys being weird. So there's that.
Say what you will about the mystery that is Poppy, but there's no denying she's made a name for herself. In fact, she's touring the U.S. right now, and her own YouTube Red series called — you guessed it — "I'm Poppy" just launched.

Aurach bei Kitzbühel ist eine Gemeinde mit  Einwohnern (Stand ) im Bezirk Kitzbühel, Tirol (Österreich). Die Gemeinde liegt im Gerichtsbezirk Kitzbühel.

Geografie
Aurach liegt etwa fünf Kilometer südlich von Kitzbühel, im Leukental inmitten der Kitzbüheler Alpen, an der Straße zum Pass Thurn. Die Besiedlung gliedert sich in Unteraurach, Oberaurach und mehrere Streusiedlungen und Weiler. Durch den Tourismus im Einzugsgebiet von Kitzbühel bedingt, hat in den ursprünglichen Streusiedlungen Haberberg und Kochau eine rege Siedlungstätigkeit eingesetzt. Ortsteile sind Haberberg, Haselwand, Kochau, Oberaurach, Sonnberg, Unteraurach und Wiesenegg-Grüntal. Geschichtlich bedeutsam ist der inzwischen eingestellte Bergbau um das Gebiet der Kelchalm.

Nachbargemeinden

Geschichte
Der Gemeinde Aurach ist schon seit Urzeiten besiedelt. Bereits 1000 bis 800 v. Chr. wurde Kupfer auf der Kelchalpe abgebaut. Der größte Teil der damaligen Metallvorkommen wurden exportiert. Aus der damaligen Zeit sind heute noch Gegenstände vorhanden, die man im Kitzbüheler Heimatmuseum betrachten kann. Nachdem der Bergbau eingestellt wurde, zogen sich die Siedler aus dieser Region zurück.

Erst im 7. Jahrhundert n. Chr. kamen neue Siedler und Aurach wurde erstmals im Jahre 1289 als "Orwiorwe" urkundlich erwähnt. Das Wort bedeutet 'Auerochsengewässer' (althochdt. uro 'Auerochse'). 1464 wird im Jochberger Steuerbuch Aurach als Teil des "Jochberger Viertels" bezeichnet. Bis 1540 gehörte Aurach zum Herzogtum Bayern. Im selben Jahr kam der Ort noch zur Grafschaft Tirol.

1833 wurde Aurach eine selbständige Gemeinde und in dieser Zeit wurde auch der Bergbau wiederbelebt. Bis 1926 wurde noch Kupfer abgebaut, danach veränderte sich die Marktlage und infolgedessen endeten diese Aktivitäten.

Kirchengeschichte
Die Pfarre Aurach gehört ursprünglich zum Dekanat St. Johann in Tirol. Von 1217 bis 1807 gehörten das Dekanat sowie die Pfarre zum Bistum Chiemsee, vor und nachher zur Erzdiözese Salzburg.

Interessant ist, dass bis 1665 kein einziger Priester im Ort wohnte. Erst als ein Vertrag mit den Dominikanern in Kitzbühel unterzeichnet wurde, führte man geregelte Sonntagsgottesdienste und Katechismusunterricht ein. Im Jahre 1739 gründete man die Skapulierbruderschaft "zu Ehren der Heiligsten Dreifaltigkeit zum Loskauf der gefangenen Christen". Diese Bruderschaft war ein wesentlicher Anteil am kirchlichen Leben der Auracher.
1722 wurde die Kirche zur Expositur erhoben. 1787 wurde Aurach Vikariat und seit 1891 ist die Pfarre selbständig.

Die früheste Erwähnung des Gotteshauses, die bereits im Jahre 1324 stattfand, ist nicht das Datum seiner Erbauung. Möglicherweise wurde schon früher ein Gotteshaus in Oberaurach errichtet. Im Jahre 2000 fanden archäologische Grabungen statt, die den Nachweis bringen, dass die Auracher Pfarrkirche, so wie sie heute existiert, im 14. Jahrhundert erbaut wurde. Vorläuferbauten wurden keine entdeckt. Bemerkenswert ist jedoch, dass die Kirche in den Jahren nach 1324 sich nie verändert hatte, obwohl sich die Bevölkerungszahl verdreifacht hatte. Es ist anzunehmen, dass das Langschiff ursprünglich von einer flachen Holzbalkendecke abgeschlossen war. Nur der zweijochige Altarraum war damals schon gewölbt. Der Turm, der an der Nordseite steht, war zu dieser Zeit niedriger als heute.

Das Patrozinium der Kirche ist der hl. Rupert. Es hängt vermutlich mit den Ferntransporten des Salzes zusammen. Einerseits kam das "Weiße Gold" über den Pass Thurn vom Pinzgau, andererseits transportierte man es auf dem Samerweg von Saalbach über das Oberreiter Joch.

Politik

Gemeinderat
In den Gemeinderat werden 13 Mandatare gewählt.

Bürgermeister

 19??–2004 Balthasar Hauser (ÖVP)
 2004–2008† Rudolf Mitterer (ÖVP)
 2008–2022 Andreas Koidl (ÖVP)
 seit 2022 Andreas Wurzenrainer (ÖVP)

Da es bei der Bürgermeisterwahl 2010 nur einen Kandidaten (Andreas Koidl) gab, erreichte dieser 100 % (463 Stimmen). Er war auch 2016 einziger Kandidat und wurde somit wiedergewählt. 2022 gab es wiederum nur einen Kandidaten, Andreas Wurzenrainer, von der anderen ÖVP-Liste, die dem ÖAAB nahe steht.

Wappen
Der Gemeinde wurde 1982 folgendes Wappen verliehen: In Blau ein goldener Kirchturm mit Zwiebelhelm über zwei gekreuzten goldenen Bergmannshauen.

Der Kirchturm versinnbildlicht die dem heilgen Rupert geweihte Kirche, deren markanter Turm das Erscheinungsbild der Gemeinde prägt. Die Hauen erinnern an den bis ins zweite vorchristliche Jahrtausend zurückreichenden Kupferbergbau.

Trivia
Aurach gilt als eine der teuersten Immobilienlagen im Raum Kitzbühel. In Aurach besitzen unter anderem Fiona Swarovski, Heidi Horten und Jelena Baturina, russische Milliardärin und Ehefrau des ehemaligen Oberbürgermeisters von Moskau, Anwesen.

South junior Tiger Worku speaking in a political activity outside of school. Tiger is very involved in speaking and politics, saying "I'm a political enthusiast so I'd say that civic engagement is something that should be used in our schools more." Civic engagement is a very useful skill that actually helps students find their passions and learn how they can become leaders of our society as adults. In order to give students these opportunities, schools should show the value of learning skills over content and give students more real-world learning opportunities. Photo courtesy of Larry Kraft.
What we learn in school is different for all of us, but it is meant to provide skills and information that serves as a base for almost any career or life path. Although this is the idea behind education, the system doesn't fully serve this purpose. It provides students with a concrete base of knowledge, but doesn't really prepare them for meaningful work in the real world.
Many of the skills that we learn in school such as critical thinking, writing, speaking publicly, and the ability to discuss important topics in groups are very useful for careers in the real world, but much of the content we learn is often times not.
The skills we learn are useful for almost any career and in daily life. For example, you have to use writing skills when writing a formal email and when communicating professionally. Formal communication skills are also necessary for making calls, participating in meetings, conducting interviews, and much more in the working world. This is another use of the skills we gain through school.
However, in school we don't always learn why these skills are important. We are mainly just given tasks in school without much explanation about how we will use them throughout the rest of our lives. For example, we learn how to do theoretical problems in math, but they often don't connect to real life applications students care about.
While skills are useful, the content is often times not. For example, knowing the date of a certain historical event has no bearing on most career paths. While some historical knowledge is necessary for forming our ideas about the world, much of the specific information simply is not. Knowing the details and specifics of many subjects can be easily accessed online.
In order to learn more about real-world careers, students like Worku have taken their own initiative. "Politics is a field that I've been heavily interested in, and going to the capitol by myself, joining organizations by myself, learning tactics and strategies that will better benefit me years down the road, learning all that is something I had to do outside of school." However experiences like Tiger's are rare because it's hard to find opportunities for impactful, real-world work and political involvement on one's own.
Furthermore, schools do not make a strong enough attempt to cater to what students would like to explore, but instead give them a set of options to choose from that are geared towards economic industries such the STEM field. Many students are encouraged to be motivated by money and "successful careers," rather than by trying to do something that would make the world a better place.
School also discourages students from finding their passions outside of school because of the pressure it puts on us. "I think the system is a little too strict and gets extremely stressful with the workload and lack of variation on the way we learn," said junior Daisy Lavae. As she explained, almost every class structure is the same. We are given assignments, expected to learn certain information from these assignments, then we are asked to demonstrate our learning on tests. After that, we are given one of five letter grades to assess whether we learned what we were supposed to. So much pressure is put on our final grade and test scores that school can become a competition to be the best. The importance of learning skills for real life gets lost in this process.
This can become even more grueling and stressful because this style of learning doesn't work for every student. And unfortunately, our education system revolves around grading because it is the only way to prepare students for college. Grades are a huge part of how colleges determine who to admit, and so the fear of getting bad grades can rule a student's academic life. Many feel that if they don't get good grades, they won't be able to "succeed" because they can't go to college. This is a huge weight to put on students, and can distract them from actually learning for the sake of learning, since they're just focusing on what they have to do to get a certain grade.
"For me [it's important to] know what I want to do, tailor my education to where it best fits me instead of just going through the school system like a robot," Worku said. Yet within the current system, if students really want to follow their passions and get anywhere in the world they will have to put in more of time outside of school. This can create problems, as they may not have enough time for keeping their grades up, which may not actually help students truly learn but are necessary accolades to get into college. In order to improve students' academic experience, schools need to emphasize learning skills and helping students find their passions through engaging in real-world, meaningful experiences.


One of the remarkable things about large digitization projects is that not just formal events are preserved but also informal events are preserved for future access. As a matter of process the Stanford Media Preservation Lab takes part in the preservation of media that captures these special informal events. Recently while working on a portion of the Allen Ginsberg papers many recordings were digitized but (at least) two recordings were re-formatted that informally capture his friendships with other important 20th century figures.
The two sound recordings were digitized from compact cassette and feature Allen Ginsberg in two very different settings. One cassette was recorded at a musical and social gathering that occurred October 31st of 1971 (M0733, series 11, subseries a, cassette box 377, audiocassette 71S1/016). The other is a conversation between Gregory Corso and Allen Ginsberg in the fall of 1989 (M0733, series 11, subseries a, cassette box 36, audiocassette(s) 89E3/005-007).
On Halloween of 1971 sometime during the day there was a gathering that included the flautist, composer, and French horn player David Amram, Bob Dylan, and Allen Ginsberg playing music together with Gregory Corso and many others in the audience. Corso can be heard commenting on the proceedings and a listener is transported to this special moment in time when a room full of creative people assembled to spend time together.
The other recording(s) (three cassettes in breadth) made nearly two decades later during the fall of 1989 captures Gregory Corso and Allen Ginsberg in an informal interview. During the course of the conversation the two of them reflect back on their many decades of friendship, their youth together, Barry Miles's documentary work on the beats, and how deep their friendship, acceptance, and caring for each other was.
Both of these recordings offer a glimpse into the social life of the respective participants and the affection between Allen and his friends is clear through the tone of voice, pacing of speech, and expression. These characteristics are difficult to capture any way but through time based media, and by undertaking the digitization and continued digital preservation of these informal recordings insight into these important relationships can continue to be accessed well after the last cassette deck plays tape through its transport.
Digitization would not occur if it wasn't for the expert processing by the Department of Special Collections and digital preservaiton infrastructure created and maintained by Digital Library Systems and Services. How digitization is only one step in a process that ensures long term preservation is a topic for another blog post.
