Our comprehensive portfolio of services enable companies to drive their inside sales initiatives forward and attain revenue goals.
Over the last 20 years Inside Sales Staff has recruited more Inside Sales professionals than any other company in the world.
Our inside sales recruiting strategy is something our clients and we decide upon together. We decide who is the best possible fit for the position. And why.
compensation, experience, industry, aptitude, cultural fit, and any other considerations.
Then we start recruiting. We search inside our database of 9000 Inside Sales professionals, run help wanted ads, recruit from competitors, and more.
Our end game is to present you screened, vetted, candidates. All you have to do is say yes or no.
Our approach to Inside Sales talent recruiting greatly accelerates your hiring process and moves you out of recruiting mode and into hiring mode.
Inside sales is a high-stakes game. For many companies, it is the engine that drives revenue and sales. As such, having the right inside sales team in place is of paramount importance. This is evidenced by a large number of firms competing for inside sales talent across all market sectors.
The notion of running a help wanted ad, getting the right candidate, and living happily ever after is generally a romantic idea. The reality is the United States market for inside sales talent is brutally competitive.
Companies who have adopted an inside sales model are hiring not one rep at a time but two, six, and ten at a time.
How do we know? Because all day, every day, we recruit inside sales talent. This is our world. Do market conditions spell doomsday for companies looking to start and scale an inside sales team?
More important is the question how does a company get the best talent on board? The answer to these questions is a company must out-recruit competition. This entails attracting more candidates and hiring them more quickly — a labor-intensive, time-consuming, arduous process, not for the feint of heart.
Inside Sales Staff has a narrow focus, we specialize in inside sales recruiting and our value proposition reaches far beyond filling an empty seat. We help companies attain their revenue goals and help drive a critical aspect of their inside sales initiatives forward.
Accelerate your hiring process, instantly expand your inside sales hiring team, hire the revenue producing candidates everyone wants.
Save 30% - 50% on inside sales recruiting costs.
Executives that recognize unfilled inside sales roles translates into unrealized revenue goals.
Companies serious about and dedicated to insuring that their inside sales recruiting initiatives are moving forward.
Organizations in a hurry to install, build, or rebuild an inside sales team.
Overwhelmed HR and recruiting teams.
Firms hiring large numbers of people in a short period of time.
Companies seeking insight on hiring an inside sales leader for their organization.
Companies losing talent to competitive firms.
We identify any aspect of your infrastructure, practice, or process that impedes your ability to recruit the best revenue generating inside sales talent.
Easy to use recommendations enable you to out-recruit other companies vying for the same candidate you are. Your hiring process will accelerate. A greater quantity and quality of high caliber candidates will apply for your roles.
A $75,000,000 year training company needed to build an elite nationwide team in a hyper-competitive, low record unemployment hiring environment.
Candidates need to possess the social calibration to interface with high level corporate executives and the skill set to sell something invisible.
Heeding our compensation advice the client designed a compensation plan that paid significantly higher than national averages.
They were able to consistently hire, in our view, the best of the best inside sales people and they have had no turnover in the last year after hiring six business development reps across the US.
A Miami based technology company with $150,000,000 in annual sales, was unable to fill their VP Inside Sales position responsible for a department of 45 reps. For six months internal and external recruiters were unable to fill this critical role. The CEO directed his executive team to bring in our firm to solve this problem.
Upon evaluation of the compensation plan in their respective location and market sector we advised the client to change the job title and compensation structure to align with the responsibilities of the role and market values. The role was filled in three weeks.
initiative. Inside sales is an engine that drives revenue, it's a serious matter.
For an inside person to succeed they need tools, infrastructure, process and ongoing management.
If you can solve a problem with money it's not a problem.
Demand for talent is outstripping supply and causing compensation to rise steadily.
Testing in an inside sales recruiting process can get in the way and what is supposed to be a solution becomes the problem.
Tests create a false sense of security.
Inside sales is not for the faint of heart.
The candidate you want to hire is being romanced by other nice to work for companies.
The physical space (the environment) and the energy in that space will impact your ability to attract, hire, and retain talent.
Think compensation ranges not exact fixed numbers as this practice gives you the ability to cast a wider net and draw a larger pool of talent.
These simple hiring criteria are often overlooked: Can this person do the job? Can they walk the walk and talk the talk of the audience they sell to? Do they have the skill set and aptitude to do the work?
The notion of running a help wanted ad, getting the right candidate, and living happily ever after is a romantic idea in today's brutally competitive hiring environment.
Hiring large numbers of people requires an entirely different strategy and set of tactics than hiring one person.
Many companies during an interview will overstate what an inside sales person will make. We strongly urge you to avoid this practice.
Companies who have adopted an inside sales model are hiring not one rep at a time but two, six, and ten at a time and absorb huge chunks of available workforce making life difficult for those attempting to hire.
Hiring tests are overrated. You already know the answer when you hire someone. They will work out or they won't.
Inside sales supervisors, managers, directors, and VP's have different skill sets and limitations.

Dan + Shay: Still Speechless Over That Tweet
"We Are Super Fans," Duo Says Backstage
by Alison Bonaguro 6/12/2018
It happened a couple of weeks ago, but Dan + Shay are still not over it.
When a Twitter follower asked pop star Demi Lovato what her favorite song was right now, she responded, "Speechless by Dan + Shay." It's a song that the duo wrote about the moment they first saw their brides (Abby Law and Hannah Billingsley, respectively) walking down the aisle. They released the song on May 18, and it will be on their self-titled upcoming album arriving on June 22.
Dan Smyers and Shay Mooney were quick to thank her, telling Levato, "Thanks Demi! We're huge fans, let's sing together sometime." And later, when another one of Lovato's fans asked if she'd work with the duo, she simple said, "Yes."
So, will they? When I caught up with Dan + Shay backstage after the CMT Music Awards, and after they'd won the award for duo of the year for their "Tequila" video, they seemed eager to start to process.
"We've never even met Demi. We are super fans, though," Dan Smyers told me. "I tweeted about her two months ago, and I said you cannot not get hyped when her "Sorry Not Sorry" comes on.
"I mean, I go insane when that song comes on," he said of her big summer hit from 2017. "I rage to it."
After Lovato's tweet, Smyers and Mooney said they watched their social media start blowing up with her fans. "We were speechless," Mooney added. "Because we just wanted to put out a few of our favorites for the fans, before the album is out, because they deserve it since we made them wait two years for the next album."

Social Media Block For Potential Criminals Threatens UK Government
By Chris Davies/Aug. 11, 2011 8:24 am EST
Social networks have been blamed for the rioting seen in London and across various UK cities, with the UK Prime Minister David Cameron suggesting that the government is exploring the possibility of blocking access to such methods of communication if users are believed to be plotting criminal behavior. Speaking at a hastily convened parliamentary sitting, a full transcript of which is already online, Cameron conflated encrypted instant messaging tools like BBM (BlackBerry Messenger) and social networking sites like Twitter and Facebook in what quickly became a push to clamp down on their potential for misuse.
"We are working with the Police, the intelligence services and industry to look at whether it would be right to stop people communicating via these websites and services" Cameron suggested, "when we know they are plotting violence, disorder and criminality." The riots – which began as peaceful protest over the death of a young man in London, but which escalated to include vandalism and looting in a number of locations across the UK – were in part organized and publicized over BBM. "Free flow of information can be used for good. But it can also be used for ill" Cameron argued, "and when people are using social media for violence we need to stop them."
Suggesting that it would assist the UK security services with their enquiries prompted headaches for RIM earlier in the week, when hackers broke into the company's official blog and threatened to leak a database of employee details if BlackBerry users' info was revealed. RIM has built a reputation on its no-nonsense attitude to encryption and privacy, risking its service being blocked in India, Indonesia and elsewhere for refusing to open a back-door into users' conversations and messages for security services to monitor.
This new angle by the UK government arguably shows a naivety in understanding exactly what "social media" comprises, as well as ignoring the potential Twitter and other networks have demonstrated for positive reaction, such as the "clean up" squads organized in some cases simultaneously with the rioting going on. How, exactly, "potential criminals" will be singled out and isolated has not been made clear.
Is "social media" to blame for the UK riots? Should RIM shut down BBM when it's a known communication channel for violent criminals? Or is this a case of blaming the medium and not the message? Let us know your thoughts in the comments.

Tatyana Ali weighs in on former 'Fresh Prince' star Janet Hubert and colorism
Tatyana Ali (Image source: YouTube / @SiriusXM)
Tatyana Ali shared her sentiments of her former "Fresh Prince of Bel-Air" co-star Janet Hubert as she discussed the pitfalls of colorism in Hollywood.
On Wednesday, Dec. 16, Ali sat down for an interview with SiriusXM's "The Clay Cane Show," where she discussed the impact of the "Fresh Prince" reunion and how it put many different things into perspective. She recalled her time on the show with Hubert, admitting that she always found the actress to be "beautiful" and radiant.
"I heard when Janet said that, I know that other people have said that about her. I've seen that in social media, but I didn't know that she felt that way," Ali said. "When we were working on the show together, I mean, we always talked about how beautiful she was… I hope that she knows it for me as a young girl, I saw her with a spotlight on her, and that's how I thought she was being represented on the show. She was in terms of beauty and Black beauty and as a young Black child, I thought she was radiant and I thought the spotlight was on her, and that was something that I wasn't used to seeing."
She went on to explain the significance of Hubert's presence on the show and her representation of dark-skinned women as she revealed the one thing she did not get the opportunity to tell her during the reunion show.
Ali said, "I didn't get a chance to tell her that at the reunion, but if she hears that, I hope that gives her some comfort that for the things that she went through, she meant a lot to a lot of people, to young people."

Q: Setting lower and upper limits to classes in kriging interpolation, ArcGIS I am using the kriging interpolation tool. I included two dummy values within my dataset:- an upper limit and a lower limit.
I ran the tool in arc map 10.1 software. However, I want to change the upper and lower limits of the kriging interpolation classes to the limits I set in the dataset. I will then   manually classify the kriging interpolation into specific classes.
How do I set the upper and lower limits for the interpolated classes?

A: I assume you mean to reclassify the data into categories based on specific ranges, thus creating a discrete raster from a continuous raster. Do this...
Since you already have the Spatial Analyst extension, go to Spatial Analyst in your toolbox. Click on Reclass, then Reclassify. Here you can add specific ranges and map them each to a new value, then export to a new raster.

The management committee decided to have two fund raising events this year to help strengthen the financial position now that we employ 3 full time and one part time staff. We use to employ only two staff for many years until 2010. The staff increase was inevitable as we require focused supervision of the trainees in the three projects, namely straw packing, card and handicraft, and bakery and cafe. One of the staff is fully engaged in handling administrative work and accounts as well as liaison with various government agencies. In fact we plan to employ additional staff to meet new challenges in the coming years. The two fund raising events are a fashion show (to be held sometime mid year) and a charity dinner on October 26, 2013 at the Silver Dragon Restaurant in Seremban 2. Those who supported us during our first charity dinner in 2010 will remember the venue which is in great demand because of its excellent facilities.
A task force was formed and held its first meeting today. Many areas were covered and we are ready to move ahead with promoting this event although it may seem to be very far away. A few more meetings will be held to finalize the matters of guest of honor, performing artiste, ticket printing and sales as well as production of a new brochure to replace our depleting first edition stock. We are excited about this dinner event and we certainly hope you will give us your support. Ticket sale will begin towards mid year but this has been agreed: RM1000 per table or RM100 per ticket Donation of RM2000 will entitle the donor to one free table. Thank you.

Now that I have your attention, let me explain. While we were in Kuala Lumpur, we were wandering around and noticed a soy milk stall that seemed to be pretty popular. Jenkins and I had some delicious soy milk in Singapore so we were looking forward to checking out what Kuala Lumpur (KL) had to offer.
Since it was stifling hot in KL, we ordered a cold soy drink and the vendor asked if we wanted some grass jelly in our soy milk. He assured us that it was a popular option so we decided to give it a try since it only cost about $0.15 CAD extra. After I came back to Vancouver, I found out that this is a pretty popular drink in Malaysia and I suppose due to its colour, Penang vendors started calling it the Michael Jackson, after his Black or White song. And there you have it…Michael Jackson in Kuala Lumpur. I should note that this drink was as tasty as promised and is actually quite easy to make at home. All you need is some sweetened soy milk and a can of grass jelly!

G-Friend's SinB recently fainted on stage, leaving many fans shocked and worried about her health.
After unfortunate news regarding G-Friend's Umji left fans worried over the members' health, it seems another member is also not in her best condition. During an event held on November 3rd at Jeonbuk University, SinB suddenly collapsed on stage during the group's performance, shocking the audience as well as her fellow members.
From the beginning of the performance, SinB had seemed unwell as she visibly broke out in a cold sweat and was having trouble standing straight. Although she tried to hold out until the end, she eventually fainted mid-performance. The members and staff then immediately came on stage to bring her to the hospital, leaving no choice but to stop the group's performance halfway. However, the rest of the members continued to perform their set after SinB was taken to the hospital.
Fans were left shocked and worried as they fear this is a result of G-Friend's packed schedule, which leaves all of the members exhausted and overworked.
Although fans were extremely concerned for SinB's health and requested that she be allowed to take a break, she appeared the next day for the live broadcast of "G-Friend and Pika friend's Pokemon World Adventures" on V-App appearing healthier than ever.
She assured fans during this broadcast stating "I'm okay guys don't worry. I'm completely fine" and smiled continuously to further ensure fans of her perfect condition.

'Stop silencing MENA critical voices,' say activists in open letter to Twitter and Facebook
Human rights defenders denounce censorship by social media platforms

Seventeen human rights organizations from the Middle East and North Africa region issued a joint statement on Thursday to Facebook and Twitter, denouncing social media platforms' shushing of dissent voices by pulling down their accounts.
The letter, in which Global Voices is a signatory, marked the 10th anniversary of the so-called Arab Spring, which began in Tunisia and rippled across the region. Over the past decade, activists and peaceful protesters have heavily relied on social media to expose corruption and police brutality in their countries, as well as to organize mass demonstrations that tore down long-time dictatorships and disrupted others. During the uprisings that swept across the region, social media was used so heavily to organize and communicate that the period was nicknamed "Facebook revolutions."
As freedoms and rights have diminished in many countries throughout the region in recent years, social media platforms remain a rare window of respite for voices of dissent. However, the group of signatories noted, Twitter and Facebook have targeted activists and opposition users.
"As we mark the 10th anniversary of the Arab Spring, we, the undersigned activists, journalists, and human rights organizations, have come together to voice our frustration and dismay at how platform policies and content moderation procedures all too often lead to the silencing and erasure of critical voices from marginalized and oppressed communities across the Middle East and North Africa," wrote the signatories.
The statement added:
Arbitrary and nontransparent account suspension and removal of political and dissenting speech has become so frequent and systematic that they cannot be dismissed as isolated incidents or the result of transitory errors in automated decision-making.
Along with Global Voices, endorsers of the open letter included parties from across the MENA region, including Access Now, Arabic Network for Human Rights Information (ANHRI), Article 19, 7amleh, Daarb bees website, Tahrir Institute for Middle East Policy (TIMEP), Gulf Centre for Human Rights, and other leading human rights organizations and journalists.
Listing a series of incidents in which activists and journalists in the region have had their accounts unplugged by Facebook and Twitter in Tunisia, Syria, Palestine and Egypt, the letter stated that "examples such as these are far too numerous, and they contribute to the widely shared perception among activists and users in MENA and the Global South that these platforms do not care about them and often fail to protect human rights defenders when concerns are raised."
The statement also noted that the two popular social media platforms, Facebook and Twitter, often rush to respond to public outcry from Western activists or private advocacy by human rights organizations, while advocates in the MENA region are mostly ignored, with end-users being "frequently not informed of which rule they violated, and are not provided a means to appeal to a human moderator."
The letter further said:
Remedy and redress should not be a privilege reserved for those who have access to power or can make their voices heard. The status quo cannot continue.
Urging Facebook and Twitter not to "be complicit in censorship and erasure of oppressed communities' narratives and histories," human rights groups called on the two giant social media platforms to follow four main measures to address raised concerns in a region they described as having "one of the world's worst records on freedom of expression."
The measures put forth by the human rights defenders include that Facebook and Twitter do not engage in arbitrary or unfair discrimination, by actively engage with local users, activists, human rights experts, academics, and civil society from the MENA region to review grievances, as well as rely on necessary local and regional expertise in order to develop and implement context-based content moderation decisions that are aligned with human rights frameworks in the MENA region.
The letter also called on platforms to "pay special attention to cases arising from war and conflict zones to ensure content moderation decisions do not unfairly target marginalized communities," and to offer greater transparency than public apologies for technical errors that persist as "erroneous content moderation decisions."
At the time of writing, Twitter and Facebook have not responded to the letter.

Chris Christie asks Trump to take his name out of consideration for White House chief of staff

Former Gov. Chris Christie of New Jersey said on Friday that he was not interested in serving as President Donald Trump's chief of staff.
Christie is among several others who were under consideration to succeed John Kelly to have bowed out of the running in recent days.
Former Gov. Chris Christie of New Jersey said on Friday that he was not interested in serving as President Donald Trump's chief of staff, becoming yet another high-profile Republican to decline to take on one of the most grueling jobs in politics.
"It's an honor to have the President consider me as he looks to choose a new White House chief-of-staff," Christie said in a statement. "However, I've told the President that now is not the right time for me or my family to undertake this serious assignment. As a result, I have asked him to no longer keep me in any of his considerations for this post."

Christie's decision mirrors that of several others who have been rumored to be under consideration to become the president's top aide when John Kelly departs later this year.
Rep. Mark Meadows of North Carolina, who chairs the conservative House Freedom Caucus, removed himself from consideration on Wednesday, citing his desire to stay in Congress even after Republicans lost their House majority in the November midterm elections.
"I've had the best job in the world, representing the people of western North Carolina and working alongside President Trump these last two years to give the forgotten men and women of America a voice in their government," Meadows said. "I'm fully committed to continuing in both of those roles. I know the President has a long list of tremendous candidates for his next chief of staff, and whomever it is will have my total support moving forward."
Another name to drop out of the running was Nick Ayers, the outgoing chief of staff for Vice President Mike Pence. Ayers was rumored to be a favorite for the position.
Other names that have been floated include Jared Kushner, a White House senior adviser; Steven Mnuchin, the treasury secretary; and Mick Mulvaney, who heads the White House's budget office and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.

Report: Wolf's Plan to Raise Minimum Wage Could Cost Jobs
A new study claims that raising the minimum wage from $7.25 an hour to $12 could eliminate 54,000 jobs.
By Claire Sasko·	 4/10/2017, 12:54 p.m.
Gov. Tom Wolf wants to raise the minimum wage from $7.25 to $12 per hour, per his budget proposal, but a new report claims such a hike could prompt widespread job losses.
WITF reports that according to the Independent Fiscal Office, the move could cost the state nearly 54,000 jobs.
IFO director Matthew Knittel told WITF that some of the job losses would be immediately evident, while a portion could take years to unfold if businesses choose to eliminate unfilled positions or fail to replace retired employees.
And while Wolf claims that raising the minimum wage could generate a $95 million economic impact, IFO estimated that number to look more like $40 million – $25 million of which could take years to materialize, the organization claims.
Pennsylvania is one of 21 states that do not require employers to pay a wage that exceeds the federal minimum. All states surrounding Pennsylvania have a minimum wage that surpasses the state's by at least $1 per hour – and two states (New York and Maryland) have a minimum wage that exceeds the state's by $2 per hour.
A Wolf spokesman refuted the IFO's findings and told WITF that "every state surrounding Pennsylvania has raised their minimum wage, and there is no evidence that those increases led to a loss of employment."
Wolf has not specified how the minimum wage hike would be implemented. In its report, IFO analyzed the proposed minimum wage hike as if it would be fully implemented on January 1, 2018 – accounting for a three-year phase-in approach in a single year.
It's important to note that most states have implemented minimum wage hikes through a more drawn out phase-in process, and that "without a phase-in, the proposal would cause more labor market disruptions compared to the phase-in approach," according to the report.
If Pennsylvania's minimum wage were raised to $12 per hour in 2018, the state would have the highest minimum wage of any state for that year.

30 Great Philly Nonprofits to Give to This Year
Martin Luther King Jr. Day Volunteer Opportunities in Philly


It was eleven o'clock in the morning on one of the sunny Saturdays of July this year when we met them for the very first time. It must have been a "cyber connection" that made them book us online over a year ago but there definitely was a real connection that Saturday we finally met. It felt so real. Almost tangible. The hour we spent with them felt so much like home.
Right at the first minute.
Time flew since then (as we hoped it would) and the first day of Spring arrived — the day when Mike and Adele promised each other to always be in love and forever be friends.
Here are few of the photos we took of that stunning day, with a couple from our associate Herdi of The Prominent. We're always grateful to have him around. We hope you enjoy what you're about to see. If you find them beautiful, as we hope you would, credits are to them, our beautiful couple. To their beauty inside and out.
Their wedding kicked start our wedding season and it was, in every inch, exactly what we imagined it would be. Screaming with simplicity, elegance and intimacy. Very Mike and Adele.
The lovely wee Guthrie Cottage in Eastbourne made just the right venue for them to get dolled and dressed, and be merry before they married. We fell in love with it already when we saw it the first time. It was, in so many ways, looking even more gorgeous on their wedding day though. The presence of families and close friends, the champagne shared, laughter heard across the room and the love that radiated from and between them two, made it so.
The sun was up giving us just the right amount of light we needed. The skies seemed even bluer. The ocean right across seemed more pacific. It seemed like heaven has got it all planned. To make everything extra beautiful. Extra perfect for a couple who deserved nothing less.
The ceremony and dinner were held at the famous Cobar Restaurant. A place equally elegant as the couple. They were officially married by Norma. Adele and Mike already warned us prior that we will love Norma as she is just adorable. True enough, we did. The ceremony brought tears of, no doubt, happiness to a few of their guests and our bride herself was not able to contain the tears too. We felt so happy seeing them very happy.
To you, Mike and Adele, our sincerest gratitude for trusting us with your memories. We thank you for being incredibly warm and caring and just amazing. We feel extra blessed having known you. We hope these photos will never fail to make you smile and may they always be a reminder of how beautiful your wedding was and why you married each other.
We believe we live in such a small world hence, we're sure we will see you again.

Theopaschism is the belief that a god can suffer. Owing to controversies about the passion of Jesus and his divinity, this doctrine was a subject of ecumenical councils which affirmed the theopaschite formula.

Christology

In Christian theology this involves questions such as "was the crucifixion of Jesus a crucifixion of God?" The question is central to the schism between those churches which accepted the First Council of Ephesus and the Assyrian Church of the East. While not Nestorian, the Assyrian Church of the East, along with their greatest teacher, Babai the Great, deny the possibility of a suffering God.

Modern philosophy
A number of modern philosophers and theologians have been called theopaschists, such as G. W. F. Hegel, Friedrich Nietzsche and Simone Weil. Kazoh Kitamori's Theology of the Pain of God (1946) and Moltmann's The Crucified God (1971) are two 1900s books that have taken up the ancient theological idea that at least "one of the Trinity has suffered" (). In the words of Hans Urs von Balthasar:

Holy Spirit
Some proponents of liberation theology have extended the theopaschist debate to the hypostasis of the Holy Spirit, questioning whether the Spirit may or may not have felt pain during the incarnation. This debate has had implications in ecclesiology, per Leonardo Boff's Church: Charism and Power.

Ein Lotsenschoner ist ein als Lotsenboot eingesetzter Schoner, d. h. das Segelschiff eines Lotsen.

Im Zeitalter der Segelschifffahrt waren Lotsen weit verbreitet, da nur wenige Kapitäne bereit waren, mit größeren Schiffen, bei Nacht oder schlechten Wetterverhältnissen in Häfen einzulaufen. Als Lotsenversetzschiffe wurden besonders schnelle, wendige und seefeste Segelschiffe benötigt, wofür die Zweimast-Schoner zum Einsatz kamen. Sie waren die Nachfolger der noch Mitte des 19. Jahrhunderts verwendeten Lotsenkutter und -galioten. Die Boote wurden aufgrund des oft nicht zu vermeidenden schweren Wetters meist besonders robust und stabil (kentersicher) gebaut, vor allem für berüchtigte Gebiete wie die Nordsee. Mehrere ehemalige Lotsenschoner werden heute als hochseegängige Jachten genutzt. Der 1883 gebaute Lotsenschoner No. 5 Elbe etwa überquerte dreizehnmal den Atlantik.

Ein Lotsenschoner wurde in der Chesapeake Bay, an der amerikanischen Ostküste zwischen Virginia und Maryland, bereits 1730 – also noch unter der englischen Kolonialmacht – benutzt. 1823 soll der reiche Bostoner Kaufmann, Opiumschmuggler und Philanthrop John Perkins Cushing mit seinem 60-Fuß-Lotsenschoner Sylph die erste überlieferte Jachtregatta der USA gewonnen haben.

In Deutschland kamen Lotsenschoner an der Nordseeküste ab 1855 an Elbe, Weser, Ems und Jade zum Einsatz. 1929 wurden alle in Deutschland verbliebenen Lotsenschoner ausgemustert und durch maschinengetriebene Fahrzeuge ersetzt.

In den Vereinigten Staaten wurden sehr viel länger segelbetriebene Lotsenboote benutzt. Zu Zeiten der Weltwirtschaftskrise, als die Lotsenschoner in Deutschland ausgedient hatten, kauften die Lotsen von San Francisco mit dem Schoner California (ex Zodiac, heute erneut Zodiac) ein neues Segelboot. Auch ältere Lotsenschoner wurden weiterhin eingesetzt; so wurde an der ebenfalls am Hafen von San Francisco operierenden Gracie S. noch in den dreißiger Jahren, trotz längst vorhandenen Motors, die Takelage etwas verändert, um die Segelmanöver zu vereinfachen; in San Francisco fuhren die Lotsen bis in den Zweiten Weltkrieg noch oft unter Segeln. In Boston kauften die Lotsen sogar 1941 noch ein neues Segelboot, die als regattafähiges Fischerboot gebaute Roseway. Als letzte aktive Pilotenschoner wurden in den USA eben jene Zodiac 1972 in San Francisco und die Roseway in Boston 1971/1972 (nach eigenen Angaben erst 1973) außer Dienst gestellt.

Behauptung: Chesapeake-Bay-Lotsenschoner als Ursprung der Baltimoreklipper

Geoffrey M. Footner, Autor eines Buches über die Lotsenschoner der Chesapeake Bay, argumentiert, dass sich die berühmten, seegehenden Baltimoreklipper gegen 1790 aus den frühen Lotsenschonern der Chesapeake Bay (ab 1730) entwickelt hätten. Dementsprechend bescheinigt er diesen Lotsenschonern, auch von einigen Kriegsmarinen genutzt worden zu sein, etwa, mit zunehmender Größe, im Amerikanischen Unabhängigkeitskrieg (1775–1783) von der nordamerikanischen Ostküste aus auf Kaperfahrt und zum Transport von Waren in die Karibik und zum Waffentransport auf dem Rückweg.

Auch die späteren Baltimoreklipper bezeichnet Footner vorzugsweise noch als Chesapeake-Bay-Lotsenschoner, woraufhin er ihre Teilnahme am Krieg 1812, ihren internationalen Erfolg und ihren Einfluss auf den Bootsbau der USA und anderer Länder diesen Lotsenschonern zuschreibt. Die Thesen sind allerdings umstritten, da die frühen Boote von Virginia und Maryland üblicherweise nur als Zwischenstufen und die Ursprünge der Baltimoreklipper im England des 16. Jahrhunderts gesehen werden (vgl. Artikel Baltimoreklipper).

Dawn's Latest Orbit Reveals Dramatic New Views of Occator Crater
NASA's Dawn spacecraft reached its lowest-ever and final orbit around dwarf planet Ceres on June 6 and has been returning thousands of stunning images and other data.
The flight team maneuvered the spacecraft into an orbit that dives 22 miles (35 kilometers) above the surface of Ceres and viewed Occator Crater, site of the famous bright deposits, and other intriguing regions. In more than three years of orbiting Ceres, Dawn's lowest altitude before this month was 240 miles (385 kilometers), so the data from this current orbit bring the dwarf planet into much sharper focus.
These low orbits have revealed unprecedented details of the relationships between bright and dark materials in the region of Vinalia Faculae. Dawn's visible and infrared mapping spectrometer had previously found the bright deposits to be made of sodium carbonate, a material commonly found in evaporite deposits on Earth. Last week Dawn fired its ion engine, possibly for the final time, to fly nearer Cerealia Facula, the large deposit of sodium carbonate in the center of Occator Crater.
"Acquiring these spectacular pictures has been one of the greatest challenges in Dawn's extraordinary extraterrestrial expedition, and the results are better than we had ever hoped," said Dawn's chief engineer and project manager, Marc Rayman, of NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, California. "Dawn is like a master artist, adding rich details to the otherworldly beauty in its intimate portrait of Ceres."
The wealth of information contained in these images, and more that are planned in the coming weeks, will help address key, open questions about the origin of the faculae, the largest deposits of carbonates observed thus far outside Earth, and possibly Mars. In particular, scientists have been wondering how that material was exposed, either from a shallow, sub-surface reservoir of mineral-laden water, or from a deeper source of brines (liquid water enriched in salts) percolating upward through fractures.
And the low-altitude observations obtained with Dawn's other instruments, a gamma ray and neutron detector and a visible and infrared mapping spectrometer, will reveal the composition of Ceres at finer scale, shedding new light on the origin of the materials found across Ceres' surface. New gravity measurements also may reveal details of the subsurface.
"The first views of Ceres obtained by Dawn beckoned us with a single, blinding bright spot," said Carol Raymond of JPL, Dawn's principal investigator. "Unraveling the nature and history of this fascinating dwarf planet during the course of Dawn's extended stay at Ceres has been thrilling, and it is especially fitting that Dawn's last act will provide rich new data sets to test those theories."
The Dawn mission is managed by JPL for NASA's Science Mission Directorate in Washington. Dawn is a project of the directorate's Discovery Program, managed by NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama. JPL is responsible for overall Dawn mission science. Orbital ATK Inc., in Dulles, Virginia, designed and built the spacecraft. The German Aerospace Center, Max Planck Institute for Solar System Research, Italian Space Agency and Italian National Astrophysical Institute are international partners on the mission team.

t*rexes and tiaras: Comic book thief..
I found these cartoon speech bubble print flats and figured they might go quite nicely with this striped dress, which I only like to wear with flat shoes since it seems to have shrunk in the wash and got a lot shorter.
I added this shrug from Dorothy Perkins' All About Rose collection, which is currently in the sale, to try and add some colour to the outfit in the hope that it would look a little less "convict chic"!
Still loving my tortoiseshell sunglasses from F+F. Mostly to cover the bags under my eyes from lack of sleep. And this fish necklace was quite the bargain at 50p from my new favourite charity shop.
Actually, wearing flat shoes was quite refreshing for a change.
I'm so drawn to pretty textures lately, it's crazy.
It's such a bargain at the moment and also comes in black!
Feeling awful because I still haven't thanked you for the sweet books! So kind and thoughtful. Will post when I'm back in Engliski!
What do the shoes say?
There's lots of different phrases, I'll take some photos for you.
Thanks, it's become a really good staple actually!
Thanks, I was so pleased when I spotted him!
I love the whole vintage feel to the ensemble. Ebay is great for finding pieces that are no longer available in store. I have to say, what's really taken my eye is your vintage pink bike! I've been looking for one just like it!
I love the vintage feel to your ensemble. The stripey dress is classic, ebay is great for pieces that are no longer avilable in store. Gorgeous pink bike!
Thanks very much - I do often scour eBay if there's something generic I want, like a Bardot top, or whatever.

Wait for it, I'm going to do something I said I would never do when I became a parent, brag that my offspring is a genius.
All parents do it occasionally and just like I swore I'd never lose my cool in public/bribe my kid with treats/ let them watch hours of television just to get things done, I'm about to herald my kid as a genius.
Her latest amazingness (yes it's a word, go with me here) was her acute perception of what makes women happy. Let me tell you, it's no word of a lie when they say raising a two-year-old is like making a smoothie in a blender without a lid, mess just goes everywhere.
After a full on day of these kinds of demands and many more meltdowns I was the one yelling back "You want a zooper dooper? So what kiddo? I want to marry Brad Pitt but I can't, so DEAL WITH IT!" See mess everywhere. It seems two-year-old tantrums are contagious and this 37-year-old caught it bad.
A few hours later after dinner and a bath, we had both calmed down and were enjoying our nightly ritual of book negotiation. Where I tell her I'm going to read her three books and she demands I read her 49 thousand. Five pages into the Three Little Pigs she looked up at me, placed her little hand on my cheek and said softly "you got angry today Mummy".
I'm not sure if it was the evil wolf that reminded her of my transformation or reading all the huffing and puffing and blowing things down part of the story, which was my demeanour the whole day, but I could only agree with her.
"No Mummy," she said in all seriousness, "chocolate makes you happy!" Her wisdom beyond her years blew me away. That or my Tim Tam addiction is getting out of control. At least she didn't say wine, it could have easily gone either way.

On vegans, coeliacs and Starbucks
catering / food service, free from food, gluten free / free from fad, opinion / rants, veganism / vegetarianism
Veganism is having a moment. And it's Veganuary — or vegan January — too. So, because it's on a high, it's evidently got too big for its boots. Time to give it a good kicking, right?
Here's Yasmin Alibhai-Brown's opinion piece in the i. "Sanctimonious" vegans are 'not nearly as good as they think' she says. And she levels blame on them for driving avocado and quinoa prices rocketing, to the detriment of native growers, when it's plain to see that these foods are available to non-vegans too, and have probably been feted more by 'clean eating' and gluten-free consumers, respectively, than by vegans.
Here's Max Pemberton in the Daily Mail, bafflingly conflating veganism with the pseudo-science of detox, insulting the vegan 'brigade', tarring all with the same militant, nutritionally-illiterate brush — and, most unforgivably given this is a doctor, likening it to an eating disorder. To have published this in a paper renowned for both encouraging restricted diets and for damning those who choose to follow one, was particularly galling.
Perhaps a vegan will jump in and correct me, but it seems to me that veganism is not about the food, per se — but about rejecting dominance over animals, a point commentators mostly ignore.
Remember that there are overweight vegans out there, who laugh at clean eaters, and rejoice at their 'accidental vegan' finds of jammy dodgers and sherbet dips.
And the extreme caricature of the evangelical, out-to-convert-the-world, animal-rights activist may suit those with an irrational dislike of vegans or the lifestyle's sudden popularity — but doesn't reflect my experience of interviewing many over the years. The ones I know are as nice and ordinary as everyone else.
Should it be all about 'Choice'?
That the vegan 'lifestyle' is a 'choice' is always a matter which is bubbling under in discussions of free from, and it boiled over the last week, following Starbucks decision to introduce an oat-milk dairy alternative.
Their announcement is here, and the responses — roughly 60:40 in favour and support — are interesting.
The oat milk, it transpires, is not Rude Health's Gluten Free Oat milk, but Starbuck's own blend, and 'contains gluten'. The levels are unclear, but if (a big if, I admit) it's on a par with Oatly milk — which is not GF but contains around 100ppm — then I expect the risk to those with coeliac of cross-contamination is very small.
This is not an allergy / anaphylaxis situation
A trace of residual oat milk from a steam nozzle used in a coffee will contain far, far less gluten than the trace in the amount of GF oat milk one might ordinarily have in a coffee and, as such, will not make a GF-oat-consuming coeliac ill — especially if they request a nozzle wipe first.
But this hasn't stopped a few coeliacs being very, very angry at Starbucks, accusing them of 'pandering' to vegans, threatening complaints, boycotts, and declaring themselves 'disgusted'. Blogger GlutenShe — also a critic — collected some of the dissent in her very readable post here.
As I said in a short thread on Twitter, I don't believe coeliacs have a greater right to be fed by food service providers than vegans on the basis that their disease is not the choice they see veganism to be.
First, some vegans don't consider it a choice — but the only humane way to live. And while the consequences of inadvertently consuming milk or meat may not be day-long diarrhoea, a vegan could be affected in other ways. I don't think it's up to coeliacs to determine health the most important factor in this discussion, simply because it is so for them. Some vegans adore animals and are broken-hearted at the concept of eating them — why is it OK to dismiss, mock or mark that down as secondary to one's own situation?
We all have the same right to be served. That right is zero. Nobody owns a prerogative to demand a particular product be provided to them. I dislike "I'm more important than you" attitudes in free from. We are in it together. Vegans, like gluten-free 'lifestylers', have done a lot to drive the 'free from' market forward — and coeliacs continue to benefit. It's not a contest. Vegans are not coeliacs' competitors. GF dominates around 90% of the free from aisle — how do you think they feel at your fury at their being given another vegan option?
In summary …
It's foolish to expect every provider in the land make every subsequent catering or business decision in favour of food allergy folk or coeliacs — some, bluntly, are going to be in favour of vegetarians, vegans, and those following halal or kosher, all non-medical. Some — hold on to your armrests — are going to be for everyone else who eat what they like.
The next five 'free from' food launches will be gluten free. The next five restaurants will have a gluten free menu. This one didn't go your way. You've got it far, far better than those with multiple food allergies and phenylketonuria. I'm on your side, coeliacs, but take a deep breath. I know it's a bit frustrating, a possible inconvenience, even maddening — and yes, perhaps Starbuck's didn't think this through, and could have handled it better (they may still change their minds or clarify or improve the situation).
But seriously people — it's coffee. And that's life. You're big enough to deal with it, aren't you?
Eni January 25, 2018 at 9:14 am
I'm vegan and coeliac. Your text is really great. The fact that no one notices vegan isn't a choice for the humane, sensitive and ethical. As a coeliac, I am frustrated with all the ignorance and contamination, but this is too much. Like you said, it's only coffee. But what it comes down to is just ordinary people being selfish, whether they're coeliac or vegan, or both. Everyone only looks out for themselves and these lifestyles, or choices, call them whatever you want, could just be a good excuse. We don't have Starbucks in my country but thank you for a great text and a different perspective.

It is by by far one of the most comfortable maxi dresses that I own. The length of the dress is perfect too. I wore my 4 inch heel wedges and the dress hem was at least an inch of the floor. This dress will also make a great summer/fall transitional piece too. I can certainly add a black blazer and classic pumps to make it office chic.
How do you style your maxi dress with heels? Do you prefer wedges or classic pumps?
The patterns and textures in your dress are so attractive. I usually wear flats with my maxis.
That's a great find! I love the color combination and it fits you perfectly!
I haven't managed to wear my maxis with heels or wedges with maxis. Always seems more comfortable in flats. BUT I think I may dress one up after this post.
What a score with the Alex & Olivia dress. You look beautiful.
What a great dress! I usually wear either flat sandals or wedge sandals with maxi dresses. I love the maxi dress trend!
Thank you for the compliment @Reginia Cordell. That is certainly what caught my attention when I first saw the dress.
I've only been wearing maxi dresses nowadays. I love this pattern!

Ferrocarril Turistico Minero
RIO TINTO MINING PARK - MINING RAILWAY RIDE
The Rio Tinto railway was built in 1875 and consited of 300km of narrow gauge track (1067mm) to various points in the mining complex. The 84km line down to and ending in Huelva. It had eight bridges, five tunnels and 12 stations, providing transport to miners and the general public, as well as an efficient method of exporting the minerals. Over 3.000 trucks and 40 passenger coaches were used on line, which was in full service from 1903-1968. From this date road transport began to be used. The Muelle de Rio Tinto was last used in 1975 and the last train ran to Huelva in 1984.
The present train ride covers a restored 12km section of track. It is an excelllent way to view the lunar-type landscape or the mine working. The trip descents the River Tinto river valley and lasts about two hours, including a 20-minute turn round stop to stretch your legs, cross the bridge and get close to the river itself (though not too close, the water is highly acidic and corrosive). It's a real treat for younger train enthusiasts, and a fun experience for all ages.
The train ride leaves from a station next to some old warehouses, about 3km from Rio Tinto itself. The train follows the circuitous route of the river, passing through some former stations. There's plenty to see - old locomotives and trucks, washing factories, storage tanks, pulleys and lifts, and various other equipment and machinery. The lunar landscape itself is extraordinary - mostly bare of vegetation, with reddish, golden, brown rounded mounds and peaks, craters, escarpments and ledges, set against an azure-blue sky, with green sulphurous pools. Don't worry if you can't understand the commentary, just enjoy the colours, shapes and textures.


Getting that all important ticket might seem like the toughest challenge when planning a festival trip but as all seasoned festival goers know, battling through the crowds to see your favourite band on the main stage doesn't come without putting in the work. We've come to rescue with a few simple moves to give festival lovers the strength to tackle whatever the experience throws at them. Looking good in those short shorts will just come as a bonus!
This new bespoke workout consists of squats, leaps and lunges to ensure festi-fans are fighting fit and armed with the stamina, strength and skills they need to battle through mud, the dreaded trek to camp and the even more anticipated toilet situation. The routine even includes a yoga stretch for that all important recovery mode. A pair of wellies as added weights will supercharge the workout.
What to do: Grab a heavy CORE bag (rucksack or a friend) lift up and over to sit comfortable on your shoulders and aim for x10 lunges. Swap direction and repeat for x 10 more. This move will train the shoulders to tackle bags, tents, even friends on shoulders.
What to do: Get your hands on a TiYR™ (or just a good old tractor tyre) ensure it is flat on the floor NOT standing up (that would be way too easy!) and sprint with all your power to push that TiYR™ along the floor. Aim for 20 secs maximum effort, followed by 10secs recovery, x 4 rounds.
This move needs no introduction. It's the part of the festival experience.
What to do: Sit deep, feet hip-width apart, hips parallel or just below knee height, squat and release x 10. Next, sit deep, this time hold a wide sumo squat for 45 secs.
What to do: Grab some heavy kettlebells or dumbbells (or your heavy festival bags). Walk for about 10 feet for x10 rounds; give yourself a 10secs breather between each walk.
What to do: Jump and travel from side to side like you were ice skating, if you don't have access to puddles!…you can just use cones as a target to jump over. Placing 10 cones in a straight line on the floor – jump over the cones from side to side until you reach the end. Repeat.
When the walk to the campsite is over and the tent is up, a sigh of relief is shared. After all that lifting and getting into weird positions when putting the tent up, wind down and mobilize the body with a restorative yoga sequence.
What to do: Get down onto the floor, from a push-up position push your hips to the sky (you should look like an upside down V) drive your heels to the floor. Push back into push up position for an upward dog – have the arms by the side of the body, with elbows bent push the palm of the hands into the floor, lift the head, chest, abdomen, hips, thighs and knees off the floor until you are balancing on your feet and hands with arms straight. It is important not to compress the lumbar discs, so if it feels too strong for you carefully lower the legs down on to the floor.
Enjoy festival season – we hope these moves help you prepare! If you'd like to visit your local David Lloyd Club to try some of them out, then you can find yours by clicking here.

The pop culture icon and beloved Tennessean announced Monday plans for "Goodnight With Dolly," a weekly web series where she'll read a bedtime story. Parton reads stories, pulled from her international book donation program Imagination Library, each Thursday at 7 p.m. CST for the next 10 weeks, per a news release from Dollywood and film distributor Abramorama.
Viewers can catch "Goodnight With Dolly" on YouTube, Instagram, Facebook or Twitter. She'll read books "specifically chosen for their appropriate content at this unique time."
"This is something I have been wanting to do for quite a while, but the timing never felt quite right," Parton said. "I think it is pretty clear that now is the time to share a story and to share some love.
Titles to be read include Loen Long's "There's a Hole in the Log on the Bottom of the Lake," "Stand Tall, Molly Lou Mellon" by Patty Lovell and Parton's own "I Am a Rainbow."
Dollywood and Abramorama also confirmed Monday that "The Library That Dolly Built," a documentary chronicling the global impact of Imagination Library, now debuts in September. The film previously planned to release in April.
Launched nearly 25 years ago, Parton's Imagination Library gits books to an estimated 1.5 million children each month.


By euflyer in Lufthansa on October 2, 2013 .
Lufthansa is currently promoting "Lufthansa Savers", a number of discounted tickets from Malta to destinations in Europe (and the US).
This Lufthansa sale runs until 15 October, and is one of the best value sales for flights from Malta that we have seen in a very long while – certainly it gives Air Malta's current 25% off all flights a very serious challenge.
Malta to Munich/Frankfurt at €119 all in, for example, is exceptional value.
Note that these are not merely the "starting at" prices: they are the actual, "all-in" prices currently available. We have checked!
Remember to collect Miles&More points on all Lufthansa flights, too.


Home > Observations / Reflections > Tech > Is Free Software Really Free – Make Sure You're Not Surrendering Your Privacy!
Suppose you are home alone, minding your own business, and you hear a knock on the door. Answering it, you find a team of people who tell you that they represent one of the largest companies in the world, and they would like to go through your house and find out as much as they can about you so that they can market products and services to you more effectively. Would you be okay with that? OF COURSE NOT! And yet many of you are doing just that every day with your cell phones, your computers, and Facebook.
Sometime in the last twenty years or so, you became really important to a whole lot of people – important enough that companies developed intricate strategies just to learn as much as they could about you. It's not that they think that you as a person are really significant. Your significance lies in the fact that you represent purchasing dollars. You are going to spend a certain amount of money this year on hundreds of products and services. And a whole lot of people are scrambling to make sure that you notice THEM and their products instead of somebody else's.
In fact, there is a battle raging in the technology world right now, and it's primarily between Microsoft and Google. Amazon is catching up fast as well, and Facebook is nipping at their heels. The battle is for control of information about everybody whom it's possible to know something about. And you are unwittingly supplying them with the information they want without even being concerned.
If they can track what you search for, what you buy, what you wear, what you eat, what you drive, what you do for recreation, what you wish for, etc., then they can quietly insinuate themselves right into your life and have you eating out of their hand.
Ever do a search on Google for something, and seconds later it's being advertised next to your Facebook feed? You know who did that? YOU did. You gave them that open door.
They can't make it any plainer than that. Google says you are giving them the right to go through your "house" and find out everything they can about you. But they're not the only ones.
When you download an app for your cell phone, a notification pops up telling you all the things that the app needs access to. Ever wonder why your flashlight app needs access to your contact list, your photo gallery, and your personal information? When you say, "Okay," you are willingly giving away ALL your privacy for the ability to see the menu more easily in a dimly lit café or tavern. And you're fine with that?
I won't use my local television station's weather app because it wants access to my personal information, my contacts list, and my photo gallery. Why does it need to know who my friends are, or what I took a picture of, in order to tell me what the weather is going to be like?
Have you upgraded your computer to Windows 10? At the end of the installation, Microsoft gives you the opportunity to look carefully through their default settings and make whatever changes you like. Most of these are privacy settings. The majority of the public, after upgrading, will choose the BIG button that says something like "Express Setup" (which is like saying Accept Default Settings), and ignore the tiny, almost hidden, link that says, "Customize Settings." If you choose the Express Setup, Microsoft basically has access to everything you do with your computer and has your permission to use it all to market to you. Literally every keystroke you type will be sent back to Microsoft.
If you made that mistake, and accepted the default settings, you can still go back and change them to protect your privacy. You can do so manually, making the changes one by one, or you can download a free tool which allows you the convenience of adjusting the settings all at once in one place. O&O ShutUp10 is one such tool.
Everybody LOVES free stuff. And it's great that you can actually get really good software and apps for free (see the FREE STUFF section on this site). But there's always a trade-off of some kind. I fully understand that. They're giving me something in exchange for something of mine that could be of value to them. I'm perfectly willing to give them an email address in exchange for something of value to me. I'm good with that. But I'm not willing to give them total access to all my information, plus information on my friends.
Don't sell your privacy so cheaply! Take the time to make sure you KNOW what you're giving away. And then make an informed decision. Is it really worth it?
