My family and I would like to take this time to thank you for all you do to help me (read us) improve the quality of my life, for the good of all of us. We greatly appreciate it.
For years I have suffered from severe migraines. When we met at the health fair and you first spoke with me about acupuncture, I'll admit I was a bit apprehensive. However, you explained the process and assured me it was a safe and effective alternative to traditional medicine. When I began treatment, I was on a program of twenty-four needles, three times per week. Gradually, I have worked down to twelve needles, one treatment per month.
Acupuncture has improved my health considerably. I am no longer forced to rely on prescription medications to alleviate headaches. I thank you for making this option available to me, and would recomment this course of action for other patients as you see fit.
My son was a chronic bedwetter I tried everything, I took away drinks around bedtime, I even took him to the medical doctor. The doctor said there was nothing I could do. The very first adjustment my son had at the chiropractor changed all of that. It has been over two months and he has not had one accident. I am very thankful for chiropractors like Dr. Butler.
Because of Chiropractic I no longer get migraines, it's changed my life.
I'm Nichole an I would like to tell you my story. In 6th grade I had excruciating back pain; a little bit later I was diagnosed with scoliosis. I found out I had a 13 degree curvature. I tried to stay active by playing volleyball and softball. By 7th grade I was sitting on the side lines watching every one else play because my pain was so bad. I got re-checked by the doctor and in less than two months my curvature went up to 23 degrees. Something had to be done. So my mom's friend told us about going to a chiropractor. I went three or four times a week getting adjusted and acupuncture done. The pain gradually started to go away and I reduced my visits to the chiropractor. I was able to play volleyball and softball again with out having to ask which one of my friend's parents had Tylenol with them. I no longer had to sit on the side lines. I could sit through my classes and focus on what was being taught. In 8th grade I went back to my doctor who claimed there was no way I could have back pain. My spine was only bending therefore pinching my nerves. Thanks to Dr. Butler my curvature went down to 15 degrees. Dr. Butler kept me from ever having a back brace and asking another parent for a Tylenol. I thank him for letting me be able to play sports again, and doing the normal day to day activities that I once took for granite.
One morning, I woke up for work with an almost paralyzing pain in my lower back. I had experienced the exact pain tow weeks before, but it went away within a couple of days so I thought nothing of it. This time, the pain was stronger and I could not move without tears forming. Watching me hobble around in pain to call my family doctor, my sister suggested that I skip the doctor and go see her chiropractor, Dr. Butler. In fact, her exact words were "You know the doctor is just going to give you some Naproxen." Having heard positive feedback from other relatives regarding their experiences with their chiropractors, I called my doctor of 15 years and was given an appointment the day after my appointment with Dr. Butler.
I was amazed how efficiently the office operated. I walked in at my appointment time and was seen almost immediately. No one seemed to wait to receive treatment. After reviewing my X-rays, Dr. Butler was not only able to explain to me what he thought was the cause, but also identity some other issues I was aware of, but had ignored. Dr. Butler seemed completely comfortable taking the time to make sure I understood what was happening with my body and how we were going to correct it. Never had I seen a doctor who actually sought my opinion regarding my treatment. Generally, I would let the doctor think I was going to do what he wanted and do what actually worked instead.
Lo and behold when I went to see my physician after sitting for 30 excruciating minutes in the waiting room, I then sat in the exam room for another ten minutes before he finally cane in, asked why I was there, then stated he had no idea what caused my pain. He then faxed a prescription for a muscle relaxer to my pharmacy and told me to come back if I wasn't feeling better in a couple of days. I knew then who I would rely on to be responsible for helping me recover from my pain. Though I'm not 100%, I know that Dr. Butler's care is the reason why I am on the road to recovery.
At 80 years old i gave Dr. Butler my Disabled Person Parking Hanger because of the good changes in my health after Chiropractic care.
After I discovered a small lump in my breast I decided to have it checked out. Never once did I think it would turn out to be breast cancer. After having a mammogram and ultra sound I was told I needed to have a biopsy. I waited 4 long days to receive a call from the surgeon telling me that it was in fact breast cancer, and that I needed to have surgery to remove the mass and a lymph node sential biopsy to check if it had spread to my lymph nodes.
One week later I went under the knife and woke up to all was good, my lymph nodes from the sential biopsy had turned out clear. Three days after my surgery I again received a call from my surgeon stating that the pathology on my mass and lymph nodes was not what she had expected. My margins were NOT clear, which means I would have to go back into surgery and remove more tissue in the area of the mass. Also, 2 of the 7 lymph nodes that were removed for pathology came back positive for cancer cells. I would have a dissection of my lymph nodes, which meant all my lymph nodes under my right arm would be removed.
- 8 treatments given every other week ( 13 days apart ) I would also receive an injection on the day before and the day after chemo to increase my white blood cells.
- The 1st 4 treatments of chemo were Adriamycin an Cytoxan.
- The second 4 treatments of chemo were Taxol.
- After chemo I would then go through 37 sessions on Radiation.
Sounded easy enough, I went through the 1st 4 treatments pretty much as I had expected - Sick to my stomach all the time, the smell of food nauseated me, I lost about 10lbs, I ached all over, all my hair fell out (and it hurt ); my right arm and underarm hurt. I developed neuropathy in my feel and hands. To say I was tired would be an understatement. My white and red blood cells were in the toilet, and I slept all the time. The second 4 treatments of Taxol were HELL - I hurt all the time and nothing seemed to relieve the pain. Worse of all it turned out that I was allergic to the Taxol. This meant that I was loaded up on steroids for about 6 weeks.
I had started going to Dr. Butler before I got sick for back and neck pain. My mother and grandmother both see Dr. Butler, and during one of their visit they told him what was going on with me. He told them to tell me to come and see him.
After my 4th chemo I decided I would go by and see him. I started going 3 times a week - or more if I felt up to it. I very quickly realized that I did feel up to it. I actually started to feel better immediately. My aches and pains were still there but not near as bad. I didn't need to take as much medicine which in turn meant my liver - which I am sure has been put through the ringer - didn't have to work overtime cleaning the chemicals from my body. My doctor told me to keep it up - my blood cell count improved. I felt like I (Dr. Butler) was doing something healthy for my body, not taking more pills, or receiving more injections, for the side effects from drugs that were to save my life.
Dr. Butler will always be a part of my story.
I would like to thank you. Before i came to you for Chiropractic treatment, I was in pain almost everyday from my MS. Now after your treatment I have gone weeks w/out pain. Thank you.
I just want to Thank You for all the wonderful help you have given me. I was one of those people that had headaches 4-5 times a week. They were the bad ones that sent me to bed!!!!! After about 3 months of treatment there has been such and improvement. The most that I have now is maybe a light headache every three to four months…. What an amazing change that is.
From a headache free patient, Sandy W.
It all started with a phone call. Dr. Butler was offering a free x-ray and back exam to new patients. I am such a skeptic when it comes to telemarketers but I thought I would give it a try.
Little did I know, my life would change. I am 36 years old and since I was in college I have suffered from back pain, headaches, horrible menstrual pain and neck pain. I thought I would have to live with "this pain" because I have been "used" to it. I went to see Dr. Butler and received an x-ray exam and I learned so much about how my back and spine and neck work. Well, I just never had the time to go back to see my x-ray results...until...I put my back out and could not turn my neck. I called Dr. Butler for help. Upon seeing my x-ray all of my back and neck problems made sense. He explained where these problems I have been experiencing have come from.
It was a miracle, after my 1st adjustment it was like a breakthrough for me. I could not understand why I had never even tried to go to a Chiropractor before. In "my world," I always went to the doctor and got painful shots in my back and took expensive pain pills to try and solve my problems. NOT ANYMORE!! I have seen Dr. Butler for approximately one month and I am a NEW WOMAN. I feel so blessed at all of the help and pain relief I have received without drugs and shots for my back. But that is not all. I had a menstrual cycle since I was receiving my adjustments. It was normal! No more cramps, no headaches, and no PMS suffering! At first, I though, "what is going on??? This is amazing!" Dr. Butler explained that this a very common relief that women experience upon getting adjustments.
I walk tall now and I have such peace in my life. I can pick up my 2 year old without the fear of "throwing" my back out and if I do well I can call Dr. Butler and get my back right back into shape!
The best part of my experience at Dr. Butler's office is how wonderful he is with my boys. I have a 6 yr. old with Asperger's (high functioning autism) and ADHD. He is getting adjustments and Dr. Butler is Terrific with him! I am anxious to see how the adjustments improve my son's situation as I have been researching the benefits of Chiropractor help on children. Needless to say, my little 2 year old loves Dr. Butler too. He gets his back adjusted which seems to improved his allergies.
I just had to share my experience! I am so thankful to Dr. Butler and how he has changed my life! And my kids too. I am now a healthy wife and mother and I have Dr. Butler to thank for that. My husband says that I am in such a better mood and that I am so happy. And that is because I am living without pain. Thank you Dr. Butler. I am so grateful for all of your help! I am telling everyone how awesome I feel and it is because of your help. Thank you! Thank you!
I had originally heard about Dr. Butler from my friend Norma. People were always telling me to go to Chiropractic care and I always said that I didn't believe in them. When i started going to Dr. Butler I couldn't walk right and I couldn't drive anymore but after just a few short months I was able to walk BETTER and DRIVE again. Everytime I have a flare up he knows exactly what to do. I am now an avid believer in chiropractic. Dr. Butler also gave me encouragement to lose weight. Kelly & Debbie are great supporters. He is now helping my husband, who felt the same way as me. I would recommend Chiropractic Care to everyone, especially Dr. Butler.
Like many other, I never considered chiropractic treatment as a real medical practice and at best, was skeptical about its effectiveness. Plus, the idea of someone 'moving my bones around' really freaked me out. Me? Try a chiropractor, I don't think so.
My misconceptions regarding this ancient health practice were ill founded and as I was to find out personally, quite remarkable. I don't know exactly where I learned my fear of chiropractic treatment, but it certainly was there.
A couple of years ago I visited my personal internist for severe neck and shoulder pain. She ordered x-rays and an MRI which both were within the normal range. She proceeded to prescribe muscle relaxers and anti-inflammatory drugs along with a round of physical therapy. After six weeks of no relief, I discontinued the physical therapy as well as the prescription drugs. I decided to live with the pain, use heat rubs and ibuprofen.
The pain in my neck and shoulder did not get any better over the course of a year's time. Out of the blue, I received a phone call asking if I would like a free chiropractic evaluation. I decided that 'hey, it's free and what could it hurt'. I made an appointment with Dr. Scott Butler and it was probably one of the best decisions I have made.
Dr. Butler patiently explained my condition and his plan for my treatment. He answered all of my questions and cleared up all of those misconceptions I had. I will admit that I was very scared about having my neck and spine adjusted, but Dr. Butler helped me to relax and began slowly with my adjustments.
I followed the treatment plan that Dr. Butler prescribed and slowly the pain in my neck and shoulders all but diminished. I continue to return for monthly adjustments. I have learned from Dr. Butler and his terrific staff that I need to maintain my success with regular visits, and I have found this to be true.

"Simon Blackquill ~ Twisted Swordsmanship"
...............Hmph. ......Enough jabbering. Get on with it, already.
— The Monstrous Turnabout
Simon Blackquill is a prosecutor who was convicted in the aftermath of the UR-1 Incident. Seven years later, he was called to serve as a prosecutor despite serving his murder sentence. Blackquill is known for his use of psychological manipulation in court, as well as his pet hawk Taka, to intimidate others and bend them to his will. His conviction and tactics in court earned him the nickname of the "Twisted Samurai".
Early career Edit
To gain an edge in court, Simon learned analytical psychology from Metis Cykes, who worked at the Cosmos Space Center alongside his older sister Aura. Through this working relationship, he also met Metis's daughter Athena. During his early career as a prosecutor, Simon pursued an international spy only known as "the phantom". One day, he finally obtained a lead: a faint voice recording of his target. He sent this to Metis for analysis, in order to build a psychological profile on the spy.
He was also well acquainted with Whet Soba, his favorite restaurant for soba noodles. It was at Whet Soba that Simon first met Bucky Whet, and through Whet Soba that he also came to know the Toneido School of rakugo performers.
False conviction Edit
Main article: UR-1 Incident
After dismantling Ponco with the blade that killed Metis Cykes.
Smuggling Athena Cykes out of the Cosmos Space Center.
On October 7, 2020, during one of Simon's visits to the Space Center, he stumbled upon a horrific scene in the robotics lab. Metis was lying on the robot repair bench, dead from a stab wound in her chest. Athena was standing next to the body and explained that she intended to use the repair bench to take Metis apart and fix her. Simon thought that there must have been some kind of mistake, but he feared the worst for Athena and decided to cover for her while protecting the psychological profile that Metis had generated.
Simon dismantled the nearby robot Ponco with the katana that had been used as the murder weapon, since she was a witness. As he was doing this, a visiting journalist caught a photo of him with the blood-stained katana. Simon then put Ponco into a rolling case, picked up the blood-covered Athena in his arms, and took both robot and little girl out of the lab, being caught on security camera as he left (although Athena was positioned in his arms in such a way as to be hidden from the camera's line of sight). He dropped Athena off at the Cykes family residence and disposed of Ponco in the garbage chute at Boarding Lounge 1. Eventually, a Space Center staff member and two police officers discovered Metis's body, and Simon was arrested hours after the crime.
In his prison cell.
Simon pleaded guilty to murdering Metis, knowing that going to prison was the best way to protect both Athena and the psychological profile. Athena tried to explain that he was innocent, but her cries fell on deaf ears and the prosecutor was found guilty and sentenced to death. He was later blamed for sabotaging the launch of the Space Center's HAT-1 rocket. In prison, Simon kept the psychological profile hidden with the help of his pet hawk Taka, and spread rumors among his fellow inmates to keep the phantom guessing. He would later tell stories about the various inmates that he met in jail.
Metis's murder was given the police designation of "the UR-1 Incident". This incident, along with the disbarment of veteran defense attorney Phoenix Wright, heralded a so-called dark age of the law, in which corruption on both sides of the bench became the norm. Aura tried repeatedly to have a retrial done for her brother, but without new evidence, her pleas were ignored. Simon also refused her efforts, knowing that he had to stay in prison until the right moment, even if it meant that he would be executed.
Permission to prosecute Edit
Return to court Edit
Main article: The Monstrous Turnabout
Arriving at court.
Seven years after the UR-1 Incident, Chief Prosecutor Miles Edgeworth gave Simon his law license back and had him begin prosecuting again in hopes of luring out the phantom, with Detective Bobby Fulbright being assigned to assist and keep an eye on him. His first trial back pitted him against Apollo Justice, who was defending Damian Tenma, mayor of Tenma Town, for the murder of Rex Kyubi, alderman of Nine-Tails Vale. Assisting him was Athena Cykes, who had become an attorney to try to save Simon. Although Simon put the full force of his psychological tactics on display, Justice managed to pull off a spirited defense of his client, defeating Simon and proving Damian Tenma's innocence.
Suspicions challenged Edit
Main article: Turnabout Reclaimed
Simon would continue to encounter the members of the Wright Anything Agency as his opponents. When Phoenix Wright regained his badge, he arranged a trial for an orca named Ora "Orla" Shipley, who had allegedly killed her owner, Jack Shipley. He convinced Simon to take the case by finding evidence of a human killer, though Simon was still reluctant to participate in such a bizarre trial. Although Wright was successful in acquitting Orla, his arguments led Simon to indict her trainer, Sasha Buckler, instead.
When Wright took Buckler's case, Simon was confused as to why he would go so far to try to get both Orla and Buckler acquitted. He suggested that Wright was simply offering his services as an act to benefit from the publicity that the trial brought. To his surprise, Wright not only succeeded in his defense, but also fought for the true culprit, revealing that Jack Shipley's death had actually been an accident. This act proved to Simon that Wright actually cared about others, and was not just taking on cases to win like other attorneys were.
Testing Athena Edit
Main article: Turnabout Academy
Months later, Simon faced off against Athena in the murder trial of her friend Juniper Woods, who was accused of murdering a teacher at Themis Legal Academy. He used this case to challenge her, to make sure she was worthy of her badge, and see how hard she would work if she truly wished to save him from his fate. He withheld a crucial piece of evidence in order for her to give her best effort, before presenting the evidence, nullifying her case entirely. However, she pushed through and, during her investigation of the alleged crime scene, was able to discredit Simon's key piece of evidence.
Eventually, Athena called Prof. Aristotle Means to the stand as a suspect for the murder. At this time, Simon acted like a misbehaving student by falling asleep and not waking up during a recording of Means's speech, not saying "here" when Means did his "roll call", and walking out of the court without permission due to boredom. Means proved a formidable adversary for Athena, and eventually got into her head and caused her to begin to have flashbacks to her feelings of helplessness during Simon's trial, thus causing her to start to have a mental breakdown. Simon helped pull Athena out of her despair by telling her to remember why she had become a lawyer, and that she would not want to disappoint "you-know-who", referring to himself. With the help of Simon, Justice, Woods, and her friends, Athena pulled herself together and brought the last pieces of her defense together, bringing Means to justice.
Return to the Cosmos Space Center Edit
Main article: The Cosmic Turnabout
A few months later, as Simon's execution date approached, the launch of the HAT-2 rocket from the Cosmos Space Center was interrupted by a bombing, which left Clay Terran, one of the passengers, murdered. Simon was running out of time, and he saw his chance to capture the phantom. He indicted the other passenger, Solomon Starbuck, and was relentless in his attempts to convict him. Justice, his opponent, was equally relentless in his defense. However, the trial was soon interrupted by the reactivation and detonation of a bomb that was to be used as evidence, leaving Courtroom No. 4 in ruins.
Although Justice recovered, he abandoned the case, leaving Wright to take his place. Wright managed to build an alternative to the prosecution's argument, but Simon refused to accept it without evidence. To Simon's surprise, Fulbright presented evidence in Wright's favor, claiming that he was worried that Simon was losing his objectivity. The evidence that he had was a blood-stained lighter that several witnesses had seen the killer using, and the fingerprints on it did not belong to Starbuck. To everyone's shock, however, the fingerprints belonged to Athena, who was arrested on the spot.
Retribution Edit
Main article: Turnabout for Tomorrow
With only one day left before his execution, Simon was determined to protect Athena to the end, despite one last effort by Aura to convince him to fight for a retrial. In a last-ditch effort to save her brother, Aura used the Space Center robots to hold several visitors hostage in exchange for a retrial of the UR-1 Incident. She indicted Athena rather than Simon, and had Edgeworth take the prosecutor's bench against Wright. Edgeworth initially maintained an advantage, but Simon once again attested that he was the true criminal, and gave counterarguments to Edgeworth's assertions.
Simon testified on the occurrences of that day, claiming that Metis was a cruel person who used Athena in experiments. He testified that he had killed Metis in order to protect Athena from her. Using Athena's Mood Matrix, Wright found contradictions between his emotions and his claims, causing him to continue to lie to make his testimony more believable. Eventually, Wright caught him on a logical contradiction and identified Athena as the source of his raging emotions, forcing him to admit to what he had really seen. Simon bitterly told Wright off for forcing him to reveal the truth, but Wright went on to prove that neither he nor Athena was responsible for the murder. Even when Justice entered the courtroom to indict Athena for Terran's murder, Wright managed to prove the influence of the phantom in both cases. Even more shockingly, Wright then accused Fulbright of being the phantom. The man Simon had been seeking for all those years had been right under his nose.
In the aftermath of Wright's statement, Edgeworth declared Simon a free man and unlocked his shackles for good. Simon thanked Aura and apologized for the trouble he had caused, properly expressing his gratitude for the first time in years. Edgeworth then granted him special permission to take over as prosecutor against Fulbright. Simon also entrusted Wright with the phantom's psychological profile.
During the trial, it was eventually revealed that the phantom had taken the identity of the real Fulbright, who had died a year ago. Although the phantom managed to steal and destroy the profile on him, Wright was still able to prove his guilt as the one responsible for both murders, the sabotage of both the HAT-1 and the HAT-2 rockets, and the courtroom bombing. With his cover blown, the phantom's facade crumbled, a sniper shot suddenly rang out, and the spy fell to the floor. However, he managed to survive the attempt on his life and Simon had him placed under the custody and protection of the prosecutor's office.
Watching the HAT-3 rocket launch.
After the case was resolved, Simon visited the Wright Anything Agency to ask them to represent Aura in court. Although none of the legal team were present, he did meet an individual who was looking to have Athena defend their father. With a grin, Simon told the visitor that they could very well meet again in court. Simon was also among those who witnessed the launch of the HAT-3 rocket.

Watching as Taifu Toneido's body is taken away.
In early May 2028, Simon visited rakugo master Taifu Toneido at Kurukuru Tei, having received an invitation for a performance commemorating disciple Uendo Toneido's naming ceremony. At the theater, Simon attempted to greet Taifu, but stopped short of entering the room upon hearing rakugo lines being recited, and opted to wait outside. During this, he witnessed Geiru Toneido, Taifu's other disciple, feed her dog Jugemu a surprisingly large amount of dumplings, the remainder of which Jugemu buried in the yard. Simon and Geiru later saw Bucky Whet, an old friend of Simon's and proprietor of a soba shop, visit Taifu to deliver soba-making supplies. After ten minutes, during which Whet was heard shouting angrily, Whet stormed out of the room. Uendo shortly entered the room and screamed, discovering that Taifu had been murdered. Whet was subsequently arrested for the crime. Upon Simon's request, the Wright Anything Agency took Whet's case, although he was somewhat dismayed to discover that only Athena was available, as neither Wright (being in Khura'in at the time) nor Justice (who was busy helping Trucy Wright with a magic show) were around. After being called as a witness to testify about discovering the body, Simon moved to the defense's bench to assist Athena as her co-counsel, finding the tactics of Prosecutor Nahyuta Sahdmadhi in undermining Athena's case disagreeable. When Athena came close to losing all faith in Whet and her ability to defend him, Simon shook her vigorously by the shoulders, reminding her of her duty to her client. Simon's assistance and testimony eventually proved instrumental in proving Geiru's guilt, as she had murdered Taifu by suffocating him with udon dough and attempted to get rid of the evidence by making the dough into dumplings, which Simon witnessed her feeding to Jugemu.
Simon was later mentioned by Apollo Justice while exploring the caves of Mt. Mitama with Dhurke Sahdmadhi.
Mugshot.
Simon is known for his use of psychological manipulation in court. Among his tricks are flattery, suggestive persuasion, and implicit death threats. The latter especially comes in various forms, but one of his favorites is his use of iaijutsu with his fingers, causing a "slicing" effect that has been seen to slice a feather in half, and was even able to cut off a piece of Wright's hair. Although these threats are usually idle, they are part of a larger persona that he has built for himself, based off of his reputation as a ruthless convict on death row. This allows him to instill fear and uneasiness in others, including his prior primary target, the phantom.
A highly disciplined and focused man, Simon was capable of maintaining his false persona for seven years. Although his hands were in shackles, he could break them at any time, despite being fitted with stronger shackles every time he did so. His false testimony concerning killing Metis withstood several attacks by Phoenix Wright and Miles Edgeworth without skipping a beat. However, underneath this act is a kind, lawful man who, despite his somewhat intimidating appearance, deeply cares about Athena, to the point of maintaining his guilt to the bitter end in order to protect her and keep the phantom guessing. When forced to testify about what he had really seen, he exhibited a raging whirlpool of emotions with Athena as the source. After the final resolution of the UR-1 Incident, he maintained many of his behavioral habits but finally showed his caring self again, thanking Aura for her efforts and apologizing for the suffering that he had caused her. However, despite caring about and believing in her, Simon isn't adverse to teasing Athena about her skill level and general lack of experience compared to her co-workers and himself. He also doesn't indulge in her occasional moments where her lack of confidence gets the better of her, preferring to instead make a good-natured snarky comment or directly telling her to pull herself together.
Simon has a dark and somewhat mischievous sense of humor that he mixes in with his intimidation tactics. He often tells larger-than-life stories of prisoners he has met, such as a surgeon or a captured ninja, usually to make a point. He also gives unflattering nicknames to just about everyone other than his rival attorneys, whom he addresses using the Japanese honorific "-dono". However, he has little patience for what he perceives as ridiculous, largely dismissing the many supernatural claims in the trial of Damian Tenma, being very reluctant to allow Wright to cross-examine the orca Orla and even leaving the courtroom after one witness gave a testimony he deemed "rubbish".
His pet hawk Taka plays many roles for him. As part of Simon's intimidation game, he sics Taka on attorneys and witnesses alike whom he perceives to be lying, cheating (such as with Apollo Justice's bracelet), annoying him, or otherwise obstructing the proceedings. Taka is also used to deliver evidence to other parties and keep the phantom's psychological profile safe. Simon appears to like birds in general, stating that he believes that penguins are the top attraction at aquariums, and becoming angry when Dr. Herman Crab belittled Rifle the penguin.
He seemed to have a low initial opinion of defense attorneys. During Justice's first case against him, Simon suggested that Justice might fabricate evidence if the trial were extended, casually inviting Justice to stay in prison to prove his honesty. He later suggested that Wright had only taken both Orla's and Sasha Buckler's cases for the publicity, and informed Buckler that Wright would likely abandon her after she was arrested in Orla's stead. However, Simon seems to have changed his mind in the aftermath of the phantom's arrest, as he would go on to approach the Wright Anything Agency for help in defending his sister and Bucky Whet.
Simon has an affinity for Japanese culture, much like his mentor, Metis. He enjoys soba noodles and rakugo, a very traditional form of Japanese storytelling. His extensive knowledge on such subjects lead him to question whether or not Prosecutor Sahdmadhi was capable of taking on a case which revolved around both subjects.
His Japanese surname is a homonym of the word "yugami" (歪み) meaning "a warp/distortion", while his given name "Jin" (迅) means "swiftness".
His English given name "Simon" comes from the Classical Hebrew "שִׁמְעוֹן" (shim'ón), meaning "hearkening" or "he has heard", but is more likely a reference to his psychological manipulation, which other characters have compared to the children's game "Simon Says". Another possibility is a reference to the bestselling psychology author George K. Simon, who published a book about manipulation titled "In Sheep's Clothing: Understanding and Dealing with Manipulative People".
"Blackquill" is a combination of "black" and "quill", both references to the black-and-white colors and feather motif in his character design.
Simon has the unique speech bubble "Silence!", which he uses in court. In the Japanese version, this is "Damari nā!" (黙りなァ!; lit. "Shut up!"). This made him the first "rival" character in the main series to have multiple voiced speech bubbles whilst fulfilling the rival role. Miles Edgeworth had previously had multiple voiced speech bubbles, but only while acting as a playable protagonist.
The concept for his character is that of a contradiction: a prosecutor who is also a criminal. His initial designs focused on the criminal element, but for the final design this was switched more towards the prosecutor side, with only some small bearings of his criminal background (his shackles, color scheme, and ragged hair). His use of a hawk is to reflect a samurai vibe, since falconry was a sport conducted by samurai.
As shown in his concept art, he initially wielded a sword that interacted with his shackles. However, this was dropped as "too unrealistic", as swords are illegal for the general public to own in Japan, let alone for a convicted criminal. However, the general idea did survive in his finger-based iaijutsu strike. The initial concept is referenced in Turnabout Revolution, where Justice calls him a "ridiculous prosecutor who wields a samurai sword".
During his initial concept, he was the one who had Athena's ability to read emotions, as shown by his wearing headphones in an early draft. This trait was eventually given to Athena, while Simon was instead given the ability to manipulate people. Likewise, Blackquill was also planned to be the one who had just recently returned from America (changed to Europe in the localization), which was also given to Athena in the end.
His speech style in the original Japanese version uses an old dialect of Japanese that sounds rough and slightly rude. In the English version, this is represented with a combination of British English and the Japanese honorific suffix "-dono".
Although Simon has voice clips for "Objection!" and "Silence!", he is the only character voiced in such a manner to appear during in-game anime cutscenes in Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney: Dual Destinies and have no speaking lines. In fact, the only voiced anime cutscene appearance he has made to date was during the special promotional anime prologue released for Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney: Spirit of Justice, although since the events of said prologue conflict with those in-game, it is unclear whether or not it is canonical.
Simon is the only returning lawyer character in Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney: Spirit of Justice to lack a new cross-examination cut-in sprite (including Klavier Gavin, who only has a brief cameo in the main game and a prosecuting role in the non-canonical Apollo Justice: Asinine Attorney DLC case); this is because he plays the role of Athena's co-counsel in his sole appearance, instead of being the prosecutor.
Before he was given his final Japanese name, Blackquill was known simply as "Prisoner No. 12", and also had the code-name of "Noise". During the extremely early stages of his development he was known by the simple placeholder name, "Convict-kun".
At one point in his development Blackquill was going to have an apple obsession. As indicated by his concept art, he would eat apples during trials, spin them on his finger, crush them, and throw them at the defense. This is notably similar to Godot and his coffee obsession.
Blackquill's early concept designs depict him suspended by shackles. Several ideas for how Blackquill could be "tortured" as a means of discipline were thought up, including his shackles being used for "quartering". Blackquill being occasionally electrocuted via his modified-shackles by Fulbright was likely the end result of this.
During the beginning of development several ideas for a "contradictory prosecutor" were originally proposed. Among these ideas was an "immortal prosecutor" who had supposedly been prosecuting for hundreds of years.

Buchananiella continua is een wants uit de familie van de bloemwantsen (Anthocoridae). De soort werd het eerst wetenschappelijk beschreven door White in 1880.

Uiterlijk
De bruine bloemwants heeft volledige vleugels (macropteer) en kan 2 tot 3 mm lang worden. De kop, het halsschild en het scutellum van de wants zijn donkerbruin net als het grootste deel van de voorvleugels. De zijkant, net als een band boven het uiteinde van het verharde deel van de voorvleugels zijn vaak lichter, het uiteinde zelf, de cuneus, is vaak donkerder.
Het doorzichtige vliezige deel van de voorvleugels is aan de randen licht en donker in het midden en heeft lichte aders. De pootjes zijn licht geelbruin. De antennes zijn bruin met uitzondering van het onderste stuk van het tweede antennesegment wat licht is.

Leefwijze
De wants komt de winter door als imago en er zijn minimaal twee generaties per jaar. Er worden in mei, augustus en september nimfen waargenomen en er zijn van april tot oktober volwassen dieren te vinden op coniferen, tussen dorre bladeren en tuinafval waar ze jagen op stofluizen en andere kleine insecten.

Leefgebied
De wantsen lijken in Nederland vooral in Zuidwest-Nederland gevonden te worden en ze zijn hier niet zeldzaam. De soort komt oorspronkelijk uit tropisch Afrika en tropisch Amerika en heeft zich op een aantal plekken noordelijker weten te vestigen, zoals in West-Europa, het Midden-Oosten en landen als Italië, Spanje, Portugal en Frankrijk.

Segen der Erde (Originaltitel auf Norwegisch: Markens Grøde) ist ein 1917 erschienener Roman des norwegischen Schriftstellers Knut Hamsun, für den er 1920 mit dem Nobelpreis für Literatur ausgezeichnet wurde. Er gehört zu den "zivilisationskritischen, utopisch-rückwärts gewandten, gleichsam Naturkraft und Lebensstärke verherrlichenden" Werken der damaligen Literatur. Die Sprache des Erzählers ist über weite Strecken von nahezu jener Einfachheit, wie die direkt wiedergegebenen Reden der Protagonisten, womit der Roman einen insgesamt authentischen Effekt erreicht. Die deutsche Erstausgabe erschien 1918.

Umstände der Entstehung

Der Roman entstand unter dem Eindruck des Ersten Weltkriegs, als aus der Not heraus eine allgemeine Tendenz zur Selbstversorgung bestand. Eine wichtige Rolle spielt auch das Projekt Hamsuns, in Hamarøy selbst Landwirtschaft zu betreiben. Er schrieb den Text, nachdem er dieses Projekt aufgegeben hatte, in der Villa Havgløtt in Larvik. Thorkild Hansen verweist darauf, dass Hamsun in dem Roman auch seinen eigenen Zwiespalt zwischen seinen beiden Berufungen als Schriftsteller und Landwirt verarbeitet habe. Er zitiert ihn mit den Worten anlässlich der Übernahme des Hofes in Hamarøy: "All die feinen Dinge, mit denen ich jahrelang gelebt habe, haben mich verzärtelt. Ich muß wieder auf Bauer studieren."

Inhalt

Der Roman spielt über mehrere Jahrzehnte, etwa von 1870 bis 1900. Als Anhaltspunkt dient die während der Laufzeit der Handlung erfolgte Einführung der Krone (1875). In der unberührten nordnorwegischen Wildnis, weitab von anderen Menschen, siedelt sich der derbe Landmann Isak an, über dessen Herkunft nichts gesagt wird. Er baut eine Torfhütte, rodet Bäume und tauscht im Winter im Dorf Baumrinden gegen Lebensmittel. Eine Frau für seine Einöde sucht er dort jedoch vergeblich.

Im nächsten Frühjahr läuft ihm Inger zu. Sie hatte wegen einer Hasenscharte eine schwere Jugend, aber beginnt ein gemeinsames Leben mit Isak. Durch schwere körperliche Arbeit bei Ackerbau und Viehzucht bringen sie es zu bescheidenem Wohlstand mit Holzhaus, Pferd und Schlitten. Inger gebiert Isak im Jahresabstand die beiden Söhne Eleseus und Sivert. Sie erhält regelmäßig Besuch von ihrer entfernten Verwandten Oline und dem Lappen Os-Anders. Bei einem Besuch von Os-Anders während ihrer dritten Schwangerschaft bringt er ihr einen toten Hasen von Oline, was die abergläubische Inger als schlechtes Omen auffasst. Außerdem erfährt Inger von ihm, dass Isak das bebaute Land nicht gehört und er es eigentlich kaufen müsste.

Lensmann Geissler besucht Isak gemeinsam mit seinem Gehilfen Brede Olsen als Gutachter und registriert dessen Land unter dem Namen "Sellanraa". Geissler verliert wenig später wegen finanzieller Unregelmäßigkeiten seine Stellung und flieht vor gerichtlicher Verfolgung – nicht ohne Isak zum Erwerb angrenzenden Landes zu raten, da es weitere Interessenten gebe.

Inger gebiert, wie auch zuvor stets heimlich in Abwesenheit von Isak, ihr drittes Kind. Es ist ein Mädchen mit der befürchteten Hasenscharte, das sie sofort nach der Geburt tötet. Beim Vergraben des Kindes wird sie von Oline beobachtet, die es Isak verrät und anschließend im Dorf herumtratscht. Inger wird nach längerer Gerichtsverhandlung zu acht Jahren Haft verurteilt und mit einem Schiff nach Trondheim in eine Besserungsanstalt gebracht, wo sie ihr viertes Kind bekommt. Sie erhält während der Haft eine Ausbildung, Isak arbeitet währenddessen auf seinem Land.

Der ehemalige Gehilfe Geisslers, Brede Olsen, wird mit seiner Tochter Barbro Isaks neuer Nachbar. Als eine Telegrafenleitung durchs Gebirge gezogen werden soll, übernimmt Brede Olsen den Inspektorenposten.

Der ehemalige Lensmann Geissler kehrt einige Jahre später zurück. Er hatte bei seinem ersten Besuch bei Isak dessen Kinder mit metallhaltigen Steinen spielen gesehen, die sich nun als Kupfer herausstellen. Geissler kauft von Isak das Land, auf dem die Steine gefunden wurden, für 200 Taler und verspricht ihm zehn Prozent Gewinnbeteiligung. Er errichtet dort eine Kupferhütte und unterstützt Aksel Strøm, der in der Nähe von Isak einen Hof gründet.

Nach ihrer Entlassung holt Isak seine Frau Inger und die gemeinsame Tochter Leopoldine an der Dampferanlegestelle ab. Die Gegend hat sich mittlerweile entwickelt, es gibt sechs neue Anwesen in der Nachbarschaft. Isaks und Ingers Söhne Eleseus und Sivert sind erwachsen. Isaks Nachbar Aksel Strøm hat ein Auge auf Brede Olsens Tochter Barbro geworfen. Beim Tanz am Samstag kommen sie sich näher, sie zieht schließlich zu ihm.

Als die Kupfergruben nicht mehr genügend Gewinn abwerfen, werden Geisslers Angestellte arbeitslos. Geissler verkauft sein Land und Isak bekommt seinen Anteil in Höhe von 4000 Talern. Aksel übernimmt den Telegrafenposten, den Brede Olsen verliert. Barbro ist unehelich schwanger von Aksel und gebiert das Kind heimlich im Wasser. Oline wird erneut Zeuge der Tat und verbreitet die offenbare Kindstötung im Ort. Barbro wird jedoch vor Gericht freigesprochen. Sie kehrt zu Aksel zurück. Sivert hat sich in Jensine, das neue Dienstmädchen auf "Sellanraa", verliebt.

Wie in allen Nordlandromanen Hamsuns wird das bodenständige Landleben gegen das abgehobene und als unproduktiv dargestellte städtische Leben ausgespielt. Der Kaufmann Aronson, Brede und Isaks eigener Sohn Eleseus scheitern bei ihren landwirtschaftlichen Versuchen im Nordland. Inger kommt mehrfach in Versuchung, den Einflüssen des Stadtlebens zu erliegen. Bevor Hamsun Isak und Inger ihrem Lebensabend überlässt, taucht nochmals der alte Geissler auf und spricht eine Art Schlusswort, in dem er die Landwirtschaft, wie sie Isak und sein Sohn Sivert betreiben, als das einzig Notwendige auf der Erde lobt.

Wirkung

Das Nobelpreiskomitee wertete das Werk in der Verleihungsrede von Harald Hjärne am 10. Dezember 1920 als "klassisches Werk" im Sinne von "bedeutungsvoll" in einer "selbst für kommende Zeiten noch gültigen Form", ein "Abbild eines Daseins, das überall wo Menschen leben und bauen, die Existenz und die Entwicklung der Gesellschaft kennzeichnet". Es sei ein "Heldenlied auf die Arbeit", die in Rodung, Feldbestellung und bäuerlichem Kampf der "widerspenstigen Wildnis" die Erträge abringe. Obwohl das Komitee die im Gegensatz zu schwedischen Naturvorstellungen einer "üppigen und überreichen Natur" typisch norwegische Form der Naturbeschreibung als "rauh und widerspenstig" hervorhebt, erkennt es in der Tatsache der weltweiten Aufnahme von Hamsuns Werk bei "Völkern verschiedenster Sprache, Wesensart und Sitte" doch einen übergreifenden "allgemein Menschlichen" Gehalt des Werkes.

Im deutschsprachigen Raum faszinierte der Roman laut Walther Killys Literaturlexikon eine Schriftstellergeneration, "die dem Zerfallsdenken der Moderne in konservativem Beharren auf Naturwerten eine Alternative entgegenzustellen suchte". Gemäß dem Urteil Thomas Manns, Arnold Schönbergs, Albert Einsteins, Maxim Gorkis, Gerhart Hauptmanns und André Gides war Hamsun "einer der größten Epiker des 20. Jahrhunderts". Daneben wurde das Werk auch von der Völkischen Bewegung und besonders im Nationalsozialismus begeistert im Sinne der Blut-und-Boden-Ideologie im Sinne einer Beschreibung eines "gesunden Bauerntums" gedeutet und in diesem Sinne aufgenommen. 1943 erschien eine sog. "Frontbuchhandelsausgabe für die Wehrmacht" (Auflage 216.–220. Tsd., hergestellt in der Nasjonal Samlings Rikstrykkeri in Oslo), innen steht außerdem: "Im Auftrage des OKW hergestellt von der Wehrmachts-Propagandagruppe beim Wehrmachtsbefehlshaber Norwegen." Als Übersetzerin wird nach wie vor Pauline Klaiber-Gottschau geführt. Gemäß dem Normalschrifterlass von 1941 ist das Buch nunmehr in Antiqua gedruckt.

Walter Baumgartner stellte 1997 eine deutlich andere Interpretation des Werkes durch die moderne Literaturwissenschaft fest:

Baumgartner konstatierte nach einer Auseinandersetzung mit den Begründungen des Komitees für die Verleihung des Nobelpreises: "Hamsun verdankte den Nobelpreis einem grotesken Mißverständnis, was die Einschätzung der erbaulichen Qualitäten von Segen der Erde und die Hoffnung auf seine weitere literarische und ethische Entwicklung betrifft."

Nach Angaben von Hamsuns Sohn Tore Hamsun aber wollte er in dem Roman seine "tiefsten und innerlichsten Gefühle für die Menschen und die Erde" ausdrücken und seiner Generation ein "letztes Evangelium" predigen. Geissler spreche mit Hamsuns eigener Stimme. Tore verweist auch auf den "leidenschaftlichen Ernst", mit dem Hamsun sich in dem Roman gegen den Kindesmord aussprach.

Der Roman Sein eigener Herr (Originaltitel Sjálfstætt fólk) des isländischen Schriftstellers Halldór Laxness stellt einen Gegenentwurf zu Segen der Erde dar. Laxness war der Ansicht, "daß die gesellschaftlichen Schlußfolgerungen Hamsuns in Segen der Erde im allgemeinen falsch sind".

Film und Theater
 1921 drehte der dänische Regisseur Gunnar Sommerfeldt in Norwegen den Stummfilm Markens Grøde. Die Musik dazu komponierte Leif Halvorsen.
 Sebastian Hartmann inszenierte 2007 am Nationaltheater in Oslo eine Theateradaption von Segen der Erde.

Law enforcement officers arrested a London teen and ticketed another man early Saturday morning after a Hilltop Drive resident reported the men were hunting deer from a pickup truck.
Officers with the Russellville Police Department and the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission responded to an area between Marina Way and Highland Drive where shots were reported fired around 4:30 a.m. Saturday. The teen was held Saturday morning at the Pope County Detention Center for public intoxication and later posted bail, a jail spokesperson said Tuesday.
Russellville Police Department spokesperson Drew Latch deferred questions about the incident to the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission. Eric Pratt, the wildlife officer who responded Saturday, was unavailable Tuesday, an employee of the commission's west central office in Russellville said.
Police discovered a rifle in the road when they arrived at the scene and later removed a deer from the area, according to a dispatch narrative released by the Russellville Police Department. No other details were available Tuesday afternoon.
It was unclear from information released Tuesday by Russellville police which of the men received the citation and for what offense the citation was issued.

That Steve Martin is a Wild and Crazy Guy
By Josh Lasser on February 14, 2007 • ( 0 )
Steve Martin is a funny guy. Let's face it, he just is. Not always, but often, and often enough that when people think of Steve Martin they tend to think "he's a funny guy."
Helping show off Steve Martin's comedy roots, Universal Studios has just released to DVD Steve Martin: The Wild and Crazy Comedy Collection. Included in the pack, on two DVDs are: The Jerk, Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid, and The Lonely Guy and precious little in the way of bonus features. But, as the movies have held up very well 20-plus years later, they provide enough incentive to purchase the set.
The Jerk follows the life of Navin R. Johnson (Steve Martin), who is more of a complete and total fool than a jerk persay, because he fails to realize just how not bright he is. Even so, Johnson manages to invent the "Opti-grab" which helps eyeglasses to not slip off one's nose (they also have a clever little handle) and becomes fabulously wealthy. Needless to say he loses it all, (perhaps) learns an important life lesson (perhaps not).
The Jerk may be the out-and-out funniest movie in the set, and though it does make use of numerous stereotypes, it does so with full awareness as to what it's actually doing. Navin Johnson may be a idiotic, but the movie itself, as with many of Martin's films is quite smart.
Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid is a comedic take on hard-boiled film noir detective stories of the 40s and 50s, with Martin starring as Rigby Reardon. Reardon is hired to look into the death of a prominent cheese maker that his daughter thinks is murder. The film, years before Forrest Gump, throws Martin into a large number film-noir pictures, having him interact with the likes of Barbara Stanwyck, Alan Ladd, Ray Milland, Burt Lancaster, Ava Gardner, Cary Grant, and Humphrey Bogart.
My favorite in the set is Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid. As a fan both of Martin's, film noir in general, and Humphrey Bogart in particular, I think the movie is great. The effects inserting Martin into classic movies don't look as good as similar things in Forrest Gump and later films, but they are good enough to be both funny and believable.
The last film in the set, The Lonely Guy, stars Martin as just that, a lonely man, named Larry Hubbard. He's just been dumped by his girlfriend and starts to figure out life on his own, without a woman. He quickly discovers that there are tons of other lonely men out there, all doing the same lonely things. Hubbard writes a book on how to be a lonely guy and becomes hugely successful, but remains lonely until finally connecting with his true love.
This entry in the set is funny, but a little too one-note for my taste. The irony that there are so many lonely people at the same place at the same time doing the same thing quickly becomes old, but the various adventures that Hubbard has provide just enough amusement to make the just over 90 minute film enjoyable.
If not one of the films in the set are terribly surprising in terms of their plot, or feel as though they have jokes that have been told before, that may be because an incredible number of films that have come after them have mimicked Martin's early work.
The first two films in the set, The Jerk and Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid are head-and-shoulders above The Lonely Guy in terms of their humor, though Martin does a wonderful sad-sack character in the latter. Reasonably priced (listing for $19.98), this set, despite it's lack of special features (there are a couple, including theatrical trailers), is more than worth it.

A product record contains the details of an item generally, not details of each individual item. If you are selling televisions, the product record contains details about the television in general (description, price, etc) but the details of individual items (serial#, etc) are held elsewhere. A practical limit of around 500,000 product lines is used as an indication of scale, however actual useable limits vary according to how the system is used.
For each product you supply known details (called attributes) and this information is distributed around your retail system and made available for use. You can supply as little or as many attribute values for products as you wish. To enter product records into the Point Of Sale you can either enter and edit them individually, or use the Excel bulk product load function.
The system includes a large number of 'pre-defined' attributes over several industries and you should try and use these, in the manner prescribed, if possible as this allows other areas of the system to use the information. You can add custom attributes to products (up to 100,000).
Products are also used for anything that can be "sold" to a customer, essentially providing the details to show on receipts and balance accounting entries.
Is it a product or variant?
If you stocktake count the items seperately, they should be seperate products.
However, if the number of products to support this is unreasonably large (eg there are 16 million colour options) then using alternative approaches will be better.
Items that are sold and require 'preference selection' at sale time can be configured using modifers. (more about modifiers) However for stock purposes modifiers are not normally stock lines and do not have inventory.
Reports are typically stronger at product level than product and variant (or modifier) level.
Different flavours of cans of drink. If each flavour has its own barcode, we recommend different product lines so you can report by flavour.
T-shirts sold in 5 sizes and 6 colours.
If you track sizes but not colour, create 5 products.
If you group them all together and don't need the system to handle much, create one product.
Coffee. These are one "product", such as a long black, but are customised using modifiers. This permits capture of customers preferences.
Some products or services are tighly specialised to customer requirements and need to capture a large amount of information at sale time. Consider selling new curtains, the sale process needs to capture these sale specific values (width, length, backing, track type, etc). For these key types of products, a custom data capture screen is displayed at sale time.
Stock on hand counts are generally maintained for all products, even those such as services where it isn't really needed. Technically it is easier and faster to maintain all items rather than excluding some, however these products can be marked "report Stock on hand as zero" which causes the system to report them as zero in many places.
There are several different definitions of "stock on hand" that you may see in your system. Which is most sensible for your environment will depend on your business processes.
SOH (Stock on Hand) This is the typical definition of stock on hand. It is defined as the count of items in your store/location and is recorded in measurement units.
This is the number of items that are your property.
Physical on Hand This value is displayed for tracked items only. It is the number of items actually in your location currently.
Consider the example where you have 3 cupboards in the showroom. Both stock on hand and physical on hand will show 3. One item is then sold to a customer, but is not delivered for several days. After the sale is completed, QOH (Quantity on hand) will reduce to 2, but physical on hand will remain at 3, reflecting the fact that it is still in your store. The physical count will reduce to 2, once the delivery has been recorded in the system.
Physical on hand will include items that are not your property, so may not be available for sale.
Modifiers are values that are collected as preferences at sale time. They are modifying the item being sold, rather than selecting from a fixed choice. When you order a steak (a "product") you then supply cooking preferences (rare, medium-rare, etc) which are modifying the product or service being delivered to the customer.
Products can be measured in several different ways depending on what type of product it is. Most products are referred to as "each" or "units" which is the measurement for single items, such as a can of food. Fieldpine uses the terms "each" and "unit" interchangeably.
The measurement for stock counting purposes. This is typically the smallest measurement.
The measurement for pricing purposes.
A service station might measure fuel in millilitres for stock purposes, but display pricing in $ per L ($/L).
Typically you set the stock measurement to the accuracy of the device measuring it. Fuel controllers are normally reporting in ml, so set stock measurement to ml. General retail scales are normally reporting in grams, so use grams for weighed items.
A 600ml bottle of drink, or a bottle of wine, is measured in units - as you sell and stocktake the bottle.
Outers are packs of units that are received from suppliers. The outer sizes do not affect measurement selection for stock level purposes. Outers are used for ordering, but the system will order and receive "1x" outer (of 12 units) and adjust stock levels by 12, not 1.
A supermarket will typically treat fruit as a weighed item, and set measurements to gram/kilogram. A lunch bar however will often sell and count fruit as individual items regardless of the specific weight of the item. In this case, you would set the measurements to each/each.
RTDs can be especially problematic for highly accurate stock tracking. An RTD is typically packaged as a single container holding 4 drinks. The packaging around all four bottles usually has a barcode, but sometimes the individual bottles can also have a barcode which might be the same or different to the packaging barcode. This creates a real problem for the computer as we do not know if the barcode is 1 bottle or 1 container of 4 items.
Capture serial number at sale time.
When creating products, tick the "prompt serial#" option and POS will popup at sale time requesting serial#.
Tracked items can include parts or components that make up the single item.
In Fieldpine POS, we refer to individually recorded serial numbers as "tracked items"
Kit products are those were you bundle 2 items together and typically offer a discount. In Fieldpine, each component of the kit (or bundle) is recorded as a product in its own right, and a "kit" selling control is created to apply this marketing override. Kits should be viewed as a marketing/selling technique rather than a stock control technique - if you need a stock control technique, then see manufactured products (below).
The common example is selling a "pie" and a "drink" together for a small discount. The pie and the drink are both individual items, but when they both appear on the sale, the system applies a "kit pricing". There is no requirement to scan the items together, and you can continue to sell items individually at full price also. It is valid to sell 2x Pies and 1x Drink, resulting in 1x Pie/Drink combo and 1x Pie at full price.

After another busy week of recoveries for AMI Groups' finder team we thought we would share a growing trend of how assets are being stolen and concealed, with smaller assets being easily stolen and traded between criminal groups it is evermore important to stay vigilant. One of the increasing ways of plant to be removed from site is utilising high roof vans, giving the thief the extra height to transport a wide variety of dumpers, roller and excavators.
This week AMI's team helped in the recovery of a 1 Tonne dumper that was stolen from a customers site in Yorkshire over the weekend. AMI immediately established communication with the covertly installed AT5 and liaised with the customer to pinpoint the location of the dumper, requesting frequent GPS positions helped AMI provide an exact address for the asset and this could then be passed on to the customer.
The team located the dumpers GPS position on AMI's Nexis platform and using the AMI Nexis app, which indicated that the dumper was positioning from inside a high top transit van parked outside a residential property near Leeds.
The police confirmed that the van had been reported stolen and was currently on false number plates, the police later recovered the van and once the original owner attended the police station the van was opened to reveal the stolen dumper neatly positioned inside.
The dumper was successfully retrieved and taken for forensic evidence and the customer was delighted to have their equipment recovered and back out on hire the following week!

Chandra Naya Rectangular Contemporary Rug [Review]
Chandra brings you a rather unique rug for your floor. The rug is handcrafted which increases its appeal tenfold. The rug has a simple yet elegant style. It is the definition of comfort and blissfulness. The rug is made out of soft polyester which allows for ultimate comfort. Once again the company offers an array of options to choose from, both in color and size. The colors are very unique and match the taste of every audience. These include green, red, brown/beige, tan/beige, white, grey/brown, orange/beige, blue and green mix.
As we can see, not only do we have many different options but we have blended shades available to us as well. The different sizes available to us are 5' x 7'6, 7'9 x 10'6 and 9' x 13'. With a vast selection, the manufacturer only goes to prove that he will stop at nothing to deliver the desired product. With so many customizations, you can really make it look the way you want it to be. Polyester is better than cotton in a way, it has strong fibers that do not wear down as quickly and it is also flexible and resistant to wrinkles and shrinking. This allows the durability of the product to exceed our expectations.
Longevity with this rug is not an issue at all. The rectangular shape is much more ergonomic than a circular shape as it can fit more places to scale. Also the rug goes with all sorts of environment, may it be a bedroom, a lounge or even a fancy office set up. It will compliment every set up perfectly adds to the unique and modern vibe of every background.
It is also readily available as it is supported by many SKUs. The rug simply looks elegant and breathtaking. If you are looking for something that blends in well and catches eyes, look no more as this is the best option for you. With loads of options to go along with it, and a commendable price tag, this is a no brainer. An easy sell waiting for you to come and pick it up. The company also offers standard shipping and a 30 day return policy. The item is refundable. Overall, this is a great rug which will add to the uniqueness of your humble abode.
