Reputation Management Case Studies:
Below are actual case studies from Reputation Saviors staff and current successful client campaigns.
Reputation Saviors can suppress unwanted information in less than 24 hours under some circumstances, normally in 1-2 business days from beginning your campaign. When dealing with multiple sources of negative information, continuous attacks or long term problems we would recommend a month-to-month campaign for immediate suppression of new unwanted information. These reputation management case studies showcase just some of the skills of our Reputation Saviors staff that we utilize for our clients going back over 10 years.
These studies show examples of various types of Reputation Management involving individuals and businesses:
Company-Wide Brand Protection | Consumer Complaints | Product Reviews | Lawsuits | Bankruptcy | Competitor Attacks | Business Dealings | Negative Publicity
Fortune 20 Company (Company-Wide Brand)
Chris Edwards' first online brand management campaign started with IBM in August 2002.
IBM (Company-Wide Brand)
Chris Edwards' first online brand management campaign started with IBM in August 2002. He signed the first contract in IBM history with Ferrell Nolan of IBM affiliate marketing for an extensive campaign of comparison shopping, search engine web traffic, search engine optimization, lead generation, PR and brand management for the month of August 2002.
He began the campaign officially on August 5th 2002. IBM's stock value was at a 2 year low $66. The stock value rose to a high of $82.49 in the following 3 weeks. On August 19th and August 22nd 2002, Befree.com now owned by Linkshare.com, tracked a $2500 average sale for IBM's links coming from the Shop.com Inc network.
Small Business (Company and Personal Cleansing, Protection)
Repairing 30 years of negative reviews, personal attacks and inaccurate information.
Miller Plante Inc (Company, Personal Cleansing & Protection)
In 2010, Reputation Saviors began Removing, replacing and then diminishing over 30 years of negative reviews, fake reviews, competitor attacks, personal attacks, inaccurate information, brand confusion and previous lawsuits that began showing up in the Search Engines about the company's products "Septic Helper 2000".
Over time, all of their negative reviews about their company, their brand names and the owners' names began showing up in the top search results in the first page of Google, Yahoo and Bing. Using a month-to-month strategy Mr. Edwards was able to remove, replace and diminish over 25 negative links in the first 4 pages of Google, to less than 0 or 1 negative link per page for over a dozen different keywords related to their company. Miller-Plante Inc also reached #1 in Google Places for "Septic System" and "Septic System Maintenance".
School Teacher (Personal Cleansing, Protection)
Previously resolved negative business review preventing her from getting a teaching job.
A school teacher contacted Reputation Saviors about a previous business dealing years ago, which was resolved, but the customers' negative comments still showed up negatively on many different websites on the top of the Google search results. Although the issue was resolved years ago, the original comments were preventing her from getting a new job as a school teacher. In just a few days, the negative comments were already dropping to Page 2 and within one month, the highest ranking comment showed up on Page 5. In order to protect her reputation for the future, we made sure that all of the links that show up on Page 1 of the Google search results, were website where no new reviews or comments could be posted.
Allstate Agent, Actor (Personal Reputation Protection, SEO)
Protect your business and personal name for the future. Search Engine Optimization.
Allstate (Personal Reputation Protection, No Complaints, Successful SEO)
Reputation Saviors contacted Darrayl Miles, Allstate Branch in Kissimmee Florida for Business and Corporate Auto Insurance services. After meeting with him, not only is he a consummate professional in Insurance, but also a working Actor. We designed a campaign for him that would both protect his personal reputation as an Actor and his company, since he currently has no negative information on the Internet, and also reach the top search results in Google for search terms such as "Allstate Kissimmee", "Kissimmee Insurance" and "Auto Insurance Kissimmee". Mr. Miles currently holds the #1 positions in Google and Google Places for dozens of keywords.
Attorney (Negative Publicity, Public Records)
Reputation Saviors assisted the webmaster for a group of attorney's in removing and diminishing a recent arrest of one of their attorneys.
Attorney (Negative Publicity & Bad Press)
Reputation Saviors assisted the webmaster for a group of attorney's in removing and diminishing a recent arrest of one of their attorneys. The news report of the arrest showed up directly under the company's websites for the "company name" and also the "attorney's name" search terms. Since no charges were filed, we were called on to also remove the information from it's source and also the Google search results. After 3 months, the negative news report dropped to Page 7 and the report showing up for the Attorney's name was removed from its source.
Reputation Saviors can suppress unwanted information in less than 24 hours under some circumstances, normally in 1-2 business days from beginning your campaign. When dealing with multiple sources of negative information, continuous attacks or long term problems we would recommend a month-to-month campaign for immediate suppression of new unwanted information.
Art Gallery Owner (Competitor Attacks)
The art gallery contacted Reputation Saviors about fraudulent information and fake reviews they suspected was coming from a competitor.
The art gallery owner
The art gallery contacted Reputation Saviors about fraudulent information and fake reviews they suspected was coming from a competitor. Reputation Saviors was able to remove all unwanted information in the first 3 Pages of Google for "Guaranteed Autographs", knock-down one fake review down to page 99, doubled his web traffic and reached #2 in Google for the keyword "autographs.com".
Quote from the customer: "A nasty competitor was posting negative information about my company. Chris Edwards explained how he removes and diminishes the impact of negative links and then designed a plan based on the specific keywords that the information that was showing up. They did search engine optimization of each of my listings would diminish negative information. The fraudulent information much lower within a few months. Any other problem or question I've had, even after this competitor posted more negative information was taken care of.

Pence releases statement about Capt. Humayun Khan
Mike Pence said he and Donald Trump both value the sacrifices made by Khan and his family.
Pence releases statement about Capt. Humayun Khan Mike Pence said he and Donald Trump both value the sacrifices made by Khan and his family. Check out this story on USATODAY.com: http://usat.ly/2aDDomy
Holly V. Hays, The Indianapolis Star Published 10:48 p.m. ET July 31, 2016 | Updated 2:52 a.m. ET Aug. 1, 2016
The father of a Muslim-American Army captain killed in Iraq offered a challenge to Donald Trump during a speech at the Democratic National Convention. Khizr Kahn's son, Humayun Khan, was killed during Operation Iraqi Freedom in 2004.

INDIANAPOLIS — Gov. Mike Pence released a statement Sunday night about the death of Captain Humayun Khan, the deceased soldier whose parents spoke at the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia Thursday night.
This is the first time Pence has spoken about the topic, having previously deferred questions to Trump's campaign.
In a statement posted on his Facebook page, Pence said he and Trump both value the sacrifices made by Khan and his family.
Trump calls fallen Muslim soldier a hero, but says father has 'no right' to attack him
"Donald Trump and I believe that Captain Humayun Khan is an American hero and his family, like all Gold Star families, should be cherished by every American," the statement reads.
Khizr Khan, Humayun's father, spoke out against Trump during the emotional speech, saying Trump had "sacrificed nothing and no one." Trump fired back, saying Khan had "no right" to criticize him and that he had made many sacrifices.
"I think I've made a lot of sacrifices. I work very, very hard," Trump told ABC's George Stephanopoulos. "I've created thousands and thousands of jobs, tens of thousands of jobs, built great structures. I've had tremendous success. I think I've done a lot."
Trump also speculated that Khan's wife, Ghazala, who stood silent beside him as he delivered his remarks, "maybe wasn't allowed to have anything to say."

Khan was killed by a suicide bomber 12 years ago while serving in Baghdad. In an emotional speech, Khizr Khan said his son, a Muslim, would never have been allowed to have lived in Donald Trump's America.
"Donald Trump consistently smears the character of Muslims," Khan said. "He disrespects other minorities, women, judges, even his own party leadership."
Pence's statement further clarified the candidates' positions on the issue of Muslim immigration, which has been a divisive topic between the two men. At the time Trump announced his proposed ban, Pence rebuked the proposal on Twitter, calling it "offensive and unconstitutional."
How it felt when America got a first woman presidential nominee
"By suspending immigration from countries that have been compromised by terrorism, rebuilding our military, defeating ISIS at its source and projecting strength on the global stage, we will reduce the likelihood that other American families will face the enduring heartbreak of the Khan family," Pence said in the statement.
Ghazala responded to Trump's remarks in an op-ed for the Washington Post on Sunday.
Trump's statements garnered response from Democrats and Republicans alike:
I met Khizr and Ghazala Khan. They are kind and wonderful people. We all can learn from this family. #goodtroublehttps://t.co/qsUpsgoIgT
— John Lewis (@repjohnlewis) July 31, 2016
Then why are you supporting @realDonaldTrump? This isn't courage, it's cowardice. https://t.co/3f1jt6W3KJ
— Martin O'Malley (@MartinOMalley) August 1, 2016
There's only one way to talk about Gold Star parents: with honor and respect. Capt. Khan is a hero. Together, we should pray for his family.
— John Kasich (@JohnKasich) July 31, 2016
This is so incredibly disrespectful of a family that endured the ultimate sacrifice for our country. https://t.co/TQcMuwXTKV

Flooding can be devastating and can cause a lot of damage to a home. Whether flooding is caused by storms, ground water problems, or a broken pipe, it is important to clean and restore the home as quickly as possible after the flood in order to minimize mold damage and make the home safe for inhabitants. If your home has been flooded, take the following actions.
Turning off the home's main power supply can protect you and anyone else that will be entering the home. Turning off the water may prevent any further water damage from occurring, especially if the issue began with the home's plumbing. If it is suspected that there may have been damage to the electrical lines, water lines, or any other utilities, contact the utility companies before entering the home to prevent injury.
After the home is safe to enter, removing items and appliances that have not been touched by flood waters can help to minimize the amount of cleaning and restoration needed. Preventing items from getting wet or damaged will mitigate the costs associated with repairs and replacements. These items should be stored in a safe, dry place until the home has been completely cleaned.
As long as water is standing in a home, it is increasing the risks for mold and structural damage. Using a wet vacuum, buckets, mops, and towels to remove the water may take time, but must be done to begin restoring the home. If flooding is severe, renting a sump pump may help you to get the water out.
After water has been removed, the area that was flooded still needs to be dried completely. Fans and a dehumidifier can help to dry the floors. Carpet and other types of flooring may need to be replaced if they have been saturated or damaged, as there may still be a mold risk. If drywall has been saturated by water, it may need to be cut away and replaced, as the integrity of the structure will be compromised and the paper backing will likely grow mold.
Disinfecting the area is necessary to ensure the safety of home inhabitants. Cleaning with bleach will help to kill bacteria that may have spread from sewers or flood waters. Walls, floors, furnishings, and anything else that may have been touched by flood waters should all be disinfected.
A restoration service can help with salvaging items that you may have thought were damaged beyond repair which can save money and heartache. A restoration service can also help with removing and replacing damaged drywall and other structures. A restoration service can help you to ensure that your home is safe and free from mold and water damage after a flood.
If your home has been flooded, call Florida Catastrophe Corp. today to minimize damage and get your home back in order quickly.

Twitter: Brought to You by [Insert News Outlet Here]
By Renay San Miguel
March 13, 2009 4:00 AM PT
After sifting through a long list of stories, headlines, podcasts and, yes, tweets about Twitter over the past week — only one week, mind you — I have just one question on my microblog-addled mind: Would the news media shut up already about Twitter and just buy the damn thing?
I first floated the idea of a media company that owns a news organization buying Twitter a couple of months ago, when the short-message service had vaulted its way to the top of the technosphere because of the Mumbai terrorist attacks. It came at the end of a column about its journalistic usefulness during that event — when eyewitnesses blasted out 140-character descriptions of the carnage, and news organizations like the BBC were able to provide a story-in-progress to their Twitter followers.
Since then, we've had the "Miracle on the Hudson," with Capt. "Sully" Sullenberger's pilot heroics initially bypassing traditional media gatekeepers, thanks to Twitter. It quickly became a case of true Twitter smotherage, though, as the story successfully jumped from the tech/media press to the mainstream — just like we all fear the bird flu will do someday if it ever escapes avian DNA.
This particular viral meme infected NPR's "Talk of the Nation" this week, with Neal Conan interviewing two of Twitter's cofounders, Biz Stone and Evan Williams. Maybe I was hearing things, but it sure sounded like Stone and Williams were sowing the seeds for a news media-based takeover of their company. (Then again, considering the economy and the vagaries of venture capital, they probably wouldn't say no to Baskin-Robbins.)
"It's not purely a social network," Stone told Conan. "It's a communications network with social elements."
Later, Stone reacted to Conan's question about Twitter's use during major news events: "You have this new kind of wire service that's happening in real-time. When you consider search, it's about discovering what's happening around the world all the time."
NPR's listeners phoned in with their own ideas. One woman said she was using Twitter to keep up with news of state legislative budget cuts.
Twitter's most-followed user, according to Williams? CNN.
Another example of Twitter going mainsteam, this time on the local level: A reporter for the NBC affiliate in Seattle, Deborah Feldman, profiled Ballard's Mars Hill Church, where the faces of congregants were illuminated by the soft light of their iPhones as they tweeted reactions to what they were hearing during the service. (Full disclosure: I freelance for the same affiliate).
The Gospel according to Twitter. Whether it's in the Bible or a news story, it's all about the message, right?
Mark Glaser, executive editor of PBS'sMediaShift blog, said he likes the idea of a media company buying Twitter, but he was also quick to point out the potential problems.
"I think a media company would be smart to buy Twitter because of the real-time nature of what they have created. It's a great tool for journalists and is a platform for many news services," he told me in an email. "I've been surprised how important Twitter has [become] as being the 'first responder' medium for breaking news — earthquakes, terrorist attacks, etc. — but their business model is still murky."
Indeed, NPR's Conan couldn't get Williams and Stone to cough up a revenue plan after numerous attempts by the tech press and bloggerati. Neither could Charlie Rose when he invited Williams to sit at the big round table two weeks ago. Yet there seems to be no lack of estimates regarding the company's value.
"Twitter has reportedly been valued at around (US)$500 million to $1 billion, and that's a lot to spend for a media company during a credit crunch," Glaser said. "Even Google has been shying away from buying Twitter, and if they can't afford it, it's hard to believe another media company could."
Glaser also brought up the competitive aspects. How would a Time Warner/CNN-owned Twitter treat feeds from Fox News Channel or NBC?
"I don't think a media company would actually shut out another company from using Twitter," he said. "I think the problem would be the appearance that they might do that — that they might be favoring their own feeds in Twitter searches or something like that. It's something that might become a delicate issue if not treated properly."
Then you have the Wonkette factor, as explained to me by Dianne Lynch, dean of the Roy Park School of Communications at Ithaca College.
Wonkette's original editor, Ana Marie Cox, was doing snark before snark was cool, as she dished on Washington, D.C., political news for the Gawker blog group.
"She had enormous cultural status and its attendant impact, because she was independent, unfettered — not beholden to any particular power or platform," Lynch said. "Then she 'sold out' — went to Time magazine — and became just another corporate blogger. Her audience disappeared; they went off to find an independent voice."
Such a fate — from coolness to corporate — might await Twitter.
"In terms of Twitter, the power of the collective is — big surprise — in the power of the collective," Lynch observed.
"That, by definition, is not harnessable. [Cofounder] Jack Dorsey can sell the Twitter platform; that's what he owns. What he doesn't own is the community that expresses itself on his platform — and that's a community that would simply relocate rather than become de facto contributors to any commercial enterprise," she maintained.
"The extraordinary value of independent media expression is not in the media and not in the expression," said Lynch. "It's in the independence — and that, by definition, can't be sold to the highest bidder."
Let's Make a Deal
Glaser and Lynch offer valid points, but news companies are scrambling to separate themselves from the pack in a crushing economy, and the allure of a bona fide phenomenon like Twitter might prove to be a debt-inducing temptation.
Yes, most have already co-opted Twitter or are rolling out their own feeds as I tap these words on my computer. (CNN would have you believe it invented Twitter, Facebook, MySpace, webcams and the Internet itself with its relentless promotion of anchor Rick Sanchez's midafternoon show.)
Yet for any network to say it actually owned the Twitter brand via buyout might bring a cachet that could send PR machines into overdrive. Naturally, there might be some explaining to do regarding the purchase price while you're laying off experienced journalists all over the place; that would be the ultimate public relations challenge, possibly to be spun as an "investment in the future of news," or something like that.
Despite what you may think of their products, companies like Time Warner and News Corp. have a few very smart people in their corner offices waiting to get their hands on something like Twitter. Who knows? Maybe somebody at TimeWarner Center or Rockefeller Plaza has actually figured out a business model for the service that won't chase away its audience or rob it of its uniqueness/coolness. An agreement to treat all news feeds as equals could be hammered out during negotiations.
The possibilities are so intriguing to me that on Wednesday I sent a tweet to Evan Williams asking for his input: "[email protected] Renay San Miguel here with TechNewsWorld. For this week's column: would you consider selling to a media co. that owns a news network?"
The hours drifted by. Somewhere, crickets chirped and birds were … tweeting? No response yet. But as I was sending that tweet, new Web-centric NBC "Late Night" host Jimmy Fallon was conducting a "Twitter experiment"; the Weather Channel's Twitter feed was informing me of a shuttle launch being scrubbed; a Seattle TV station's tweet told me about murder charges filed in the death of a local high school coach; and themediaisdying Twitter feed gave me the scoop on the latest journalism layoffs.
I can see the news network promo now: "Around the world … in 140 characters."
TechNewsWorld columnist Renay San Miguel started his journalism career with his hometown newspaper in Texas in 1979. He moved to television in 1985, anchoring, producing and reporting in Austin, Dallas and San Francisco before joining CNBC as a technology correspondent from 1997 to 2000. Following a stint with CBS MarketWatch, which included filing tech stories for the CBS Early Show, San Miguel joined CNN Headline News in 2001 as an anchor/tech reporter. He also contributed digital content for CNN.com. After his 2007 departure from CNN, San Miguel founded Primo Media and now freelances in television/online reporting and media consultation.

Q: Can many concurrent calls to the same overused function cause blocking in Lua? Lets say you have a complex Lua application, and there is some base function that different parts of your code call repeatedly.  It's a stateless function with little to no side effects, and fairly simple.
How does the virtual machine handle this?  Does it queue up all the calls, and let them run one by one, waiting for the function to to return before calling it again?  Or does it do some trickery to avoid this sort of situation?  What if the function had some big side effects, like print()?

A: Lua is single threaded so every function call must return before the next one is called. If a function is blocked then so is the VM. The only way around that is coroutines or Lua lanes or C threads.

The Importance of Christian Marclay in an Era of Rich Juzwiak
by Art Fag City on November 9, 2009 Reviews
POST BY PADDY JOHNSON
Is there anything more frightening than not being able to communicate with the outside world? If recent horror movies are any indication, the answer is no. Illuminating this phenomenon, Rich Juzwiak, a blogger whose interests famously include America's Next Top Model, Mariah Carey, and his cat Winston, put together the above compilation of cellular drama in film. Probably the most obvious pre-internet reference from this work comes from sound and installation artist Christian Marclay's famous piece, Telephone. As Marclay's narration in the video below tells us, the artist strung an array of film phone scenes together to create an abstract and absurd conversation.
Not too long ago I wondered what significance this work would have in the future, given the ubiquity of youtube collages such as Juzwiak's. While we might describe Marclay's practice as visionary, the term seems slightly inaccurate for a coincidental chronology. After all, it wasn't Marclay's work that inspired millions to follow in his mash-up footsteps, but rather the accessibility of digital mediums.
With that said, Marclay's extraordinary skill is more than just an encyclopedic memory and creative impulse. As both Marclay and Juzwiak's piece demonstrate, there's also a required sensitivity to creating a watchable video. In these pieces, the scenes make sense next to each other, and though abstract, there is a rough narrative arc built. Most videos simply aren't that successful. While it's impossible to know how important figures such as Marclay will be in the future, even within a vastly expanded field, his work stands out.

The path to understanding myself from the perspective of the mysterious.
Did this study of Astrology start with my Aquarius sun, notorious for counter-culture and specifically astrology? Or was it my Scorpio moon, obsessed with finding what lies beneath the superficial cover? Maybe it is Chiron in Pisces on the ascendant: the sign of the healer.
Many years ago, I felt like I wanted to farm and tour far away places, so I went to New Zealand and started working through the WWOOF program. There I was introduced to biodynamics at Aeona farms, my first gig.
Biodynamic agriculture is a form of alternative agriculture very similar to organic farming, but which includes esoteric concepts drawn from the ideas of Rudolf Steiner. At the farm we incorporated the sky in our plantings, cultivating and harvesting. We used powders and formulas energized with the elemental energy of air, water, earth and fire. These magical formulas are sprinkled on fields when the cosmic forces support the action desired. The process certainly instilled in me a desire to learn and know more about working with the natural cycles. Humans are a part of nature, but we have this unique choice: we can choose to work with or against the natural cycle. Astrology is a way to know your own nature and direct your life with the natural forces rather than against them.
"When the student is ready, the teachers will appear."
Studying the sky for the farm lead to studying astrology. I realized that I could use this ancient wisdom to understanding different personality types. Astrology opened my heart and mind to people on different paths from me. I started to understand how different motives and essences are facets of a multidimensional fractal universe. The warp and weft of the cosmos is woven into all of us.
In 1996 I had the great fortune and pleasure of studying Astrology with a small tightly knit group of women. For three years we studied texts and attended lectures at the Oregon Association of Astrologers. The group used astrology intensively as a positive and practical tool for mutual support.
Years and hundreds of charts later, I am still excited and amazed by the wisdom inherent in the chart; it is a gift from the ancients. I remain fascinated that the lived stories align with the stories the symbols described.

After coaching Wests to a reserve grade premiership in 1981, Freier was named Coach of the Year at Easts in 1983 but the club sacked him the following year when the side lost 17 matches. His time at Wests ended the same way, replaced midway through the 1988 season by lower grade coach John Bailey.

Parkour. A French by the name of David Belle invented it. It is composed of movements including running, jumping, landing, leaping, and dodging obstacles in the fastest and most efficient way possible. It also requires discipline which means you needn't do it wherever you want to. Especially to a Lamborghini.
Because what would you do if you own a perfectly good Lamborghini Aventador SV and some skinny bloke decided that it was an obstacle?
So there we were in sunny San Francisco when we saw a pristine red Aventador. Then suddenly a man in a hoodie came running to and then on the car. He ran all over it including the precious carbon-fiber rear wing – which thankfully remained intact because that piece alone is more expensive than the Toyota Corolla behind it. The owner in red trousers came after him to no avail.
But then the unexpectedly and, may I say blatantly, stupid happened: Robin Hoodie returned and this time he wants to make his entry from the back. This time the owner caught him, literally, and threw him to the ground. He almost threw a Kurt Angle move on the bloke. But soon people came to stop him and scared little hoodie-lum pee'd himself and passed out. Even after all this, the public seems to side with the Lamborghini's owner. And rightly, so. Nobody would like their car to be treated like a trampoline – even if it is a battered grey Peugeot. Or an elderly Citroen 2CV.
Good thing it didn't happen to me. Because if it did, the person who would be caught doing so will be forced to use everything he knows about Parkour while I shoot at him. Or run him down using all 700 horses from the Aventador SV.
If there is one who sides with Robin Hoodie here, let this be a warning to you: Karma is a b**** so don't do it.

Mixed feelings about guy friend
By lyoung92
November 21, 2013 in Relationship Advice
lyoung92
I have been close friends with a guy for over a year now. Last year, he was very friendly towards me and wanted to hang out excessively to the point of it being almost possessive (I don't know if he liked me as more than friends or not). He also dated this girl for a couple of months but then broke up with her. This year, we have been hanging out a lot as well, but he has started coming round to mine and sleeping in my bed at night (This has happened 3 times) and he would be very intimate and affectionate/cuddley. We never talked about this, but it just happened several times. I also started to develop feelings for him, which started a little before he would sleep in my bed, but this made them stronger. However, he told me that he wanted to get back with the girl he dated last year. At first, I thought he said this to make me jealous, but now it seems they have been spending a lot of time together. Last week, the two of went away for a 2 day trip, but he was acting quite distant with me and it didn't feel like our normal friendship. On the way back, we were in a car accident where we were almost killed, but were very lucky in the end. Afterwards, I was frustrated at how he was trying to continue as normal and pretend nothing had happened. He slept in my room for a couple of nights after this, but he insisted on sleeping on the floor with a sleeping bag rather than in the bed with me. I then sent him a message saying that I thought it would be better if we didn't see each other for a while because I was getting confused about my feelings for him, and he said that he was sorry and if that is what I want, then he will abide by it. Now I miss him a lot and can't stand the fact that I have lost a friend that I would normally see every day, and I am also very frustrated at the thought of him dating the other girl again. Not really sure what to do next.

Yes, I think it's best you give that distance. I wonder if he's just been 'hanging' with you- but has turned back to the other gal. Either way, you two haven't been totally involved, have you?
I think you shld only look at him as a 'friend' and not cross that line anymore. Sounds like that's in a way how he's been seeing you. Kind of like a buddy.. a shoulder to lean on? Which is okay- as long as it stays that way.
Best not get things all screwed up with emotions. He is with her again now. So, look the other way.
IF you can't that's b'cause the feelings you've already had for him... in that case, give a little while to work on distancing yourself for the better.
ParisPaulette
Unfortunately you've ended up in that friend zone area where they like that you're attractive, they like that you're attracted to them, but they don't like you enough to want to cross the line from friend to boyfriend/girlfriend. It's a really frustrating place to be one and it's one that usually stems to some degree from the unattainable one being a bit of an attention hound who likes that someone is pining for them secretly. In other words, these people aren't really friends and they can do alot of damage with their "I like you, I'll ask certain things of you a boyfriend/girlfriend would, but then when you ask for more I'll whip out the we're just friends card so fast it'll put an eye out" come here-go away mentality. And the second they feel "safe" enough around you to talk about another boy or girl it's time to bail if you have feelings for them, because that is a clear sign that they do not see you in the same light.
I know it hurts and yes it hurts to lose a friend. But the truth is if you want to hold on to a friendship then never let them do boyfriend/girlfriend things with you like sleep in your bed unless you have zero expectations of it ever going beyond a bit of FWB. In this case you're doing the righ thing by going NC and just moving on. He's chosen the other girl in spite of chances he could have had with you, so take it as a clear sign it was never meant to be and find other friends to hang out with. And a guy who won't want you in the friend zone at all.
uniqueme
I think it's time for you to try and forget about him. He's already shown that he's not interested in taking this any further. You'll only hurt yourself more.

If that sounds over-the-top, consider that the Real Sports piece shows a traditional vacation spot like Myrtle Beach, S.C., spending big bucks on youth sports facilities to make sure people come to the beach like they used to, and I'll refer back to this piece I wrote about Cedar Point amusement park in Sandusky, Ohio, spending big bucks on youth sports facilities to make sure people come to ride roller coasters like they used to.
And you know Pathik has a portmanteau for this: "Tourna-cation."
The dream of attracting all that tourna-cation cash has towns large and small across the United States furiously building their own facilities to attract travel sports teams, and there is no reason for them to stop. Time's most recent cover story succinctly and effectively summed up eight-plus years of this blog in one story about how the pool of parents spending tens of thousands of dollars a year to assuage fears their kids might miss out on scholarship opportunities is only expanding -- to the tune of a $15.3 billion total youth sports industry whose pool of would-be exploiters of that fear is only growing, too.
In the Real Sports piece, Andy Cook, the mayor of Westfield, Ind., says his city's Grand Park (at 400 acres, the largest mixed-used youth sports facility in America), notes that in 2016 it attracted 1.2 million visits, resulting in $145 million in tourism spending. In one week in July 2017, the facility attracted 7,000 athletes -- and, of course, their parents, siblings and other relatives. That's a big reason why youth sports is seen as such an economic boon -- the kids always have to bring their own entourages.
But how much, really, can a community expect in tourism dollars and activity from youth sports? About a month back, I came upon an interesting study that tried to answer that question. So far, the answer is this -- the dollars the community gets from visits to hotels and restaurants are good, but in most cases it can't expect families to extend their tourna-cation so it's less tourna- and more -cation.
The study was commissioned by the Hamilton County (Ind.) Sports Authority, the sports tourism wing of Visit Hamilton County, the area's local tourism authority. The suburban Indianapolis county needs its own sports tourism division because it's pitching numerous facilities for events -- particularly, Grand Park in Westfield. Richard Buning, an assistant professor of the School of Physical Education and Tourism Management at Indiana University-Purdue University, and Cassandra Coble, an Indiana University School of Public Health assistant professor whose concentration is sports management, were tasked with asking Grand Park visitors questions related to their experiences in travel youth sports, including what they do while they're at a tournament, and what they like or dislike about certain facilities and locations.
With the exception of name-brand family sites such as Disney World or a large city, families aren't worrying too much about seeing the local sites when they go to tournaments, Buning said in an interview. In fact, tournament schedules are so packed, families don't have time to be tourists. "You go on a Friday, spend the majority of Saturday at competitions, and then you head back," Buning said. And there's limits to extending trips because families will take so many, and they have to "take time off of work. There's a limit to how much time you take your kids out of school."
What families -- and from the study, facilities should concentrate a lot on grandparents, because retirees are happy to travel the country to see their grandkids play -- are generally looking for is a hotel with a pool, with a restaurant inside or nearby that serves beer, for social time after the day is over. "Often families aren't thinking of things to do until they're there, and they're bored in the stands," Buning said. "Then they're look at Yelp or Google for ideas. Often a team facilitator or manager is planning dinner and events for the team, or maybe groups or cliques of parents go out together."
Brenda Myers, the president of Visit Hamilton County, says her organization is examining the study closely to determine strategies for how to get sports tourism visitors to do more (and spend more) locally -- for example, what about people are coming back for a second or third time and might want to look around a little bit? The organization works closely with local sports facilities and is expanding or introducing services such as an information wall at Grand Park that lets those parents with free time learn more about the area.
Another economic study already put sports as 6 percent of the tourism money spent in the fast-growing county of 320,000 people. "Our goal is to maximize the visitors' experience, and to make them feel welcome," Myers said. "We are not Disney. It is up to us to try to provide information for when you have those opportunities and moments" to spend time outside the confines of a tournament.
One sports tourism problem Myers said Hamilton County doesn't have is filling its facilities. As a matter of fact, the City Council in Fishers, to the southeast of Westfield, in mid-August approved a 382,000-square-foot youth sports complex whose $75 million cost is being paid for through special revenue bonds procured by the city that would be paid back by a private developer. I'll be able to tell you personally whether this facility is benefiting from a continuous tourna-cation sports boom, because I drive by the site to get to the turn to my mom's house.

Wallpaper cannot be recycled in the traditional sense.
It seems logical to add used or leftover wallpaper scraps to the contents of your recycling bin, because it is primarily made of paper. Unfortunately, it's not that simple. Some types of wallpaper contain a high concentration of synthetic inks and dyes that is difficult and costly to separate from the paper. Certain adhesives and coatings present a similar problem. In effect, most wallpaper is too "polluted" with contaminants to turn back into paper, but you can give old wallpaper a new purpose.
Most wall coverings are coated with a layer of vinyl or polythene to make them washable, but these contaminants are difficult to separate from paper fibers and can even cause obstructions in the recycling process. Adhesives, inks, fire-retardant agents and other chemicals present problems for similar reasons. The bottom line is that programs to recycle wallpaper do not exist, because they are neither successful nor cost-effective.
No one could express enthusiasm about the prospect of wallpaper scraps contributing to the waste materials that end up discarded to a landfill, which in 2009 measured more than 130 million tons (see References 1, page 8, table 3). Yet if wallpaper isn't reclaimed or repurposed, this is exactly what's going to happen. Because part of the material -- the paper -- is organic, it is subject to anaerobic decomposition facilitated by methanogenic microbes. The by-product of this process is methane gas. According to a January 2010 report prepared by the Center for a Competitive Waste Industry and furnished to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, methane gas is classified as an aggressive greenhouse gas with a global warming potential 72 times greater than carbon dioxide (see References 2, page 9). The nonorganic components contained in the coating, such as short-chain chlorinated paraffins, can enter soil and water and then accumulate in the tissues of marine life and wild animals (see References 3, page 18, and References 4).
The removal of old wallpaper typically yields large sections of paper with torn edges. Give these pieces new life in a variety of projects. For example, if the pattern or color of the paper reminds you of a flower garden or a sandy beach, fit custom-cut pieces together to make an interesting wall mural for a bedroom, playroom or den. Other ideas to inspire you include picture matting, table coasters, personalized stationery or greeting cards.
Unused wallpaper isn't sticky or adorned with fringed edges, so it's easier to work with. It offers just as many choices as used wallpaper. For example, line your drawers or shelves with leftover rolls of wallpaper. It's also a sturdy alternative to traditional wrapping paper. Repurpose smaller pieces in scrapbook projects or cover light-switch and outlet covers with them. If you have a large amount of unused wallpaper on hand, donate it to a school, church or other facility in your community.

Witnessing Vladimir Putin: Emperor of Patience
March 15, 2018 A Opinion Comments Off on Witnessing Vladimir Putin: Emperor of Patience
Russia's president has marked our time now. No matter what your persuasion, even the die hard liberal world order minion must realize the character of greatness when he or she sees it. V.V. Putin rules modern diplomacy and politics, if for no other reason than his unimpeachable patience and pragmatism. Here's another salute to Putin and to the ticking moments of humanity, dropping into the hourglass of time.
"Other than John F. Kennedy, Vladimir Putin is the greatest international statesman of our age. – Jeff Rense, legendary alt news radio host
In a recent interview I had with alt news radio legend, Jeff Rense he suggested how Putin stands alone in a tepid sea of forgettable nobodys. Sharp as the proverbial razor, Rense is a good barometer of every other political or strategy analyst now watching Russia's leader. We all realize the stakes of the game being played out on the world stage. And we all are in agreement, what we're witnessing as a battle to the death over Mother Russia's treasures. What's more, the unprecedented assault on Putin's Russia just may be that human finale history has hinted at for millennia. Biblical, is the crisis and the desperation, the chaos, the unending friction in between ideas and tradition – the imminent danger looming today is extraordinary.
In the eye of this growing maelstrom we gawk at madmen and seeming psychopaths, "mad dogs" and "ad men" flagellating in their dramatic roles as leaders from Berlin to London, or Montreal or Tokyo. And standing alone at the center, just on the horizon of rationality, an unlikely Napoleon wrestles with the machinations of ignorant and wicked mediocrity. Putin's Waterloo, if he should meet it, will be to be utterly surrounded by the armies of the lazy and dull-witted elites who've sucked our blood for centuries now. But wait, before you turn to another "fake news" story, let me open a window into this tragic comedy.
By now you've read the headlines about "Putin's Doomsday Nukes". Everybody in America has the seed of fear firmly planted in the brain. "Unstoppable" destruction waits now, if all goes bad. I've talked my talk about it, so have CNN and the other elitist controlled news outlets. But somehow the real message is obscured still. Nobody really knows what to think about Putin's forecast of Armageddon. Almost nobody sees his moves for what they truly are. The western media is obscuring and muffling a plea for peace and for sanity. Everything we understood from childhood is being obfuscated by the evilest people who ever walked the face of this Earth.
I finally realized the human tragedy Vladimir Putin plays the heroic lead in during that interview with a man many accused of being the ultimate conspiracy theorist. But the alternative news man copied by Alex Jones and the rest, he turns out to be a kind of Edgar Cayce of New World Order premonitions now. I mention Jeff Rense here to rivet reality to the inside of my reader's brain pan. For he is an iconic symbol of how we were "oh so" wrong about many things. My hope is that some reading this will direct their brains to scan the walls of the insides of their heads, to see the billboard pasted there reading "This could be the end!" The interview I speak of is right below.
In our talk, Rense and I talked easily and openly about the weapons Putin has been forced to brandish, and about Putin the man. What began as a "Doomsday Torpedo" broadcast, ended as two Americans making mediating observations of this emerging end game. The stunning reality that struck me after talking to the world's sharpest conspiracy investigator was a picture window view onto the real and figurative Czar of moderation and patience. And the Rense interview brought forward the most important aspect of this "Putin Era" we're witnessing. The radio host registered concern over the limits of the Russian leader despite his seeming intangibility. On the relentless policies and strategies aimed at Putin, Rense asked:
"I wonder how close we are to getting near the end of Vladimir Putin's limits?"
This question brings us to the point of my report here. But a look at the President of Russia web pages really helps illustrate the seriousness of the current situation. In a March interview in between Putin and NBC's Megan Kelly, who's the most decidedly brilliant "dumb-question" bimbo in TV history, Russia's leader pleads with Kelly's viewers for sanity and reason. His concern and legitimacy is indemnified in the NBC broadcast, as he parries Kelly's genius level quizzing from the standpoint of the dumbest of American viewer. To illustrate my point, here's the quid pro quo where the NBC TV star quizzes Putin on the relevance of his unstoppable nukes. Kelly asks for clarification on the effectiveness of new systems and for a definition of them, to which Putin replies:
"Therein lies the entire meaning of this, because any antimissile defense system operates against ballistic missiles. But we have created a set of new strategic weapons that do not follow ballistic trajectories and the antimissile defense systems are powerless against them. This means that the US taxpayers' money has been wasted."
As I write the conclusion to this report today, the international order that arrogantly admits its existence, it's on the offensive once again. Listening to the psychotic politicians in Britain's parliament yesterday, I thank God Putin is in charge of Russia's nuclear arsenal instead of me. Prime Minister Theresa May and her kiss-ups poking out their chests and boasting it is "highly likely" the Kremlin was behind the poisoning of yet another British spy – it was sickening to watch. The people of the United Kingdom have managed to put in office the cream of the evil crop of paid puppets. For those unfamiliar with the news, a former MI6 spy named Sergei Skripal and his daughter were supposedly poisoned by a military-grade nerve agent of a type May and her parrots say was developed by Russia. Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said Mrs May's statement was "a circus show in the British parliament". And this is what the war of ideologies has come to, a deadly clown circus with spotlights on three continents full of mad ringmasters.
Finally, isn't it miraculous that a new provocation surfaces each time some great potential is the possibility for the Russia people? Putin and Russia spend billions to welcome the world to the most historic Winter Olympics ever – and U.S. Senator John McCain leads a throng of agents overthrowing Ukraine. The Sochi games are attacked by every sports broadcaster from ABC to BBC and the lot. It was unprecedented bad sportsmanship and geo-political skullduggery. Almost immediately, a Russian people emerging as a positive force for tourism, international business, and a fantastic renaissance on the domestic side of that federation – those potentials were shut down by western influences. The EU Putin and his ministers sought integration with, it turned into a new Nazi Reich under Merkel's German bankers. Britain, the US, and allies set about cutting off money flows into Russia, and gas flows out. Then the doping scandal, led by the Queen Mother's running idiot Lord Sebastien Coe. The WADA circus led to Russia's athletes being ruined, and to exclusions from Rio and PyeongChang 2018. I am not astonished that this latest dog and pony act in London comes just before World Cup 2018 in Russia. Are you astonished to discover we are already at war with Russia?
The situation is getting much worse, but it's all become so predictable from an analyst's point of view. With no proof shown, using narrative and outright concoctions to fuel flamed of public fear and outrage, the United Kingdom more-or-less declares war on Putin personally. Yes, you read that correctly. The message carries from RT TV to viewers from parliament was crystal clear – several parliamentarians openly said it; "We are targeting Vladimir Putin." Vladimir Putin is the Czar of patience. If Britain or anybody else warred on America like this, somebody would have already been bombed the shit out of. We invaded Iraq over a vial of baby powder for Christ's sake! Theresa May clearly missed Mr. Putin's last message Russia would use those "Assassin Nukes" to relentlessly pursue this liberal world order's elites, should worse come to worst. Then again, maybe the British Prime Minister and her colleagues are reacting in fear!
Think about it. Where do these scary signals lead? If there truly is no turning back from the edge of Armageddon, I'd suggest staying far, far away from the elite psychopaths when Putin finally loses his patience.

Before creating a website for any business whether small or big or portfolio, we mostly hear the term CMS (Content Management System). This is because CMS is the most important part of creating any Responsive websites and also for its success. In this article, let us in detail learn about CMS.
CMS (Content Management System) is a software application that facilitates creating, editing and publishing digital content. CMS covers each and every procedure of pages on your site i.e. starting from providing tools to create the content for your site to managing and archiving the content. This is mainly utilized to manage the content of web pages and also used for ECM (Enterprise Content Management) and WCM (Web Content Management). ECM is a technology used to manage content and documents related to an organization, whereas WCM or WCMs is a programme that manages content on a web page. Both ECM and WCM consist of two components called content management application (CMA) and content delivery application (CDA). In most of the cases, in a collaborative environment, content management system also supports multiple users. Every CMS has few important features like easy administration, suitable and great publishing tools, built in SEO tools, social media integration and so on.
CMS for SEO is very crucial and plays an important role in creating and managing most impressive content. An organization or site can improve their SEO with CMS as it has a direct impact on your sites performance and SEO ranking. Contrarily, a bad CMS can also ruin your SEO and hence choose most suitable and SEO friendly CMS is very crucial. As there are different types of CMS's available nowadays, one should always look for most suitable CMS which has important features like easy to use or user-friendly interface, intelligent searching capability and so on. Along with above CMS features, an organization should also know their specifications before choosing a CMS like their organization's size, the number of people who use this software, does your CMS require Multilanguage support and so on.
Several numbers of CMS's for both free and subscriptions based are available nowadays like Joomla, WordPress, Open Text, Sharepoint and so on. Among the above CMS's Joomla and Word Press are the most commonly used content management systems. Joomla is among the free and open source CMS built on an MVC framework for publishing web content. Joomla CMS is mainly written in PHP format and provide attributes like caching, blogs, RSS feed and so on. WordPress is again a free and open source CMS and is based on PHP and MySQL. WordPress CMS can be installed on local computers as its own web server or can be utilized as a part of an internet hosting service. Word Press allows users to have control over the design and display of your content even though you do not own any technical knowledge. Both Joomla and WordPress can use themes to alter the look of your site and are also easily found on the internet.


This rare earth bar magnet is 0.4x0.1x0.1" (10x2.5x2.5mm) is flat with poles on the top and bottom not at the ends.
Great magnets. While I'm not a professional and have no tooling to attest to the accuracy of the data sheet, I strongly recommend them to anyone who needs a small magnet. The magnetic field is very strong, as expected of a neodymium magnet (I'm actually using the leftovers to hang screwdrivers and pliers on a steel bar), and the surface finish is absolutely fantastic - unbelievably smooth, and VERY scratch-resistant - making them the best friend of 3D printers (just don't forget to clean them a bit, because contaminants CAN still mess up your attempts). Though that smoothness and strength can, like most other neodymium magnets, make it a chore to split them apart - I'd recommend using a wedge to pull them apart, because smaller magnets are very easy to lose if they happen to be flung places. The delivery was much quicker than anticipated as well, and they arrived in perfect condition. The staff are incredibly easy to contact for questions. The price is very competitive, and with that quality of magnet (if the magnet quality carries over to other items), it's a great choice for hobbyist craftspeople, amateur engineers and professionals of all kinds alike. Overall, I'm definitely coming back here to get more magnets for projects, and you should be too.
Most of the time just sliding them apart will do. Big strong ones need a magnetic tool to separate.


You often hear it said, you only fail when you fail to get up after a fall. In life, it is impossible not to face failure at one point. Some people are so scared of failure that they let the fear limit them. Since they are afraid to fail, they dont try at all. Some people do try, but when they face failure the first time, they slink back with their tails between their legs, utterly defeated.
And the hardest part about failure is, it leaves its mark. Once you fail, it leaves a harrowing and traumatic experience, until you find yourself afraid of failing again. What happens is the fear paralyzes you, making you unable to strive again.
So how can you succeed if you let the fear of failure limit you and let failure stop you? If youve gone far enough but suddenly came face to face with failure, what do you do? Do you stop? Or do you stand back up again?
The reason why many people fail to succeed in life is because they stop after they fail. The old adage does say, try and try until you succeed. People seem to think that that saying is clich and overrated. They think that after a while of trying, you just have to accept your limits and face the sad hard truth that you cant do it. That whoever came up with that saying didnt know how it was like to fail.
But thats exactly where the problem starts the moment you stop trying. Thats when all the negative self talk will overcome you.
1. Do not let the negative talk in. Life always goes on after you fail, so you have no choice but to get back up. However, sometimes, people just stop trying and just settle for lesser things in life. This happens when they invite the negative feedback of failure to control their lives.
So whatever you do, you should not let the negative feedback from failing get to you.
2. Focus on your goals. If you set your mind on your goals, you will keep on moving towards it that you will hardly recognize the little stumbling blocks along the way. So keep your mind focused on what you want to achieve, and dont let the small bumps along the road stop you.
3. The importance of persistence. To keep the bad experiences from hindering you, you need to develop an important trait called persistence. Over the years, successful personalities have hailed persistence as the main ingredient for success. Henry Ford of Ford Motors, Michael Jordan, and Tiger Woods are just some of the best examples on how far persistence can go.
4. Subliminal Messages to Make You More Persistent. Since it is impossible to just make yourself magically more persistent, you need the help of subliminal messages. Subliminal messages can train your mind to think positively even when you fail. This way, your mind will know how to respond with persistence when you are faced with failure.
I am a naturally persistent person.
My persistence will make me successful.
I will persist in all areas of life.
I stay persistent even when things get tough.

C Ventures' Backed RTFKT To Be Acquired By NIKE
RTFKT, an innovative brand that utilises next-generation technology, including blockchain authentication, NFT, gaming engines and augmented reality to create unique sneakers and digital artefacts, is being acquired by NIKE.
Earlier this year, C Ventures, a leading venture capital company co-founded by Adrian Cheng, significantly backed RTFKT in a seed funding round, which totalled $8 million. C Ventures was one of the top three investors and the largest in Asia. The new capital helped RTFKT to broaden its team of creators and artists, develop new NFT collections (most recently the CloneX avatar project) and grow its overall talent pool.
Cheng has a strong track record of supporting and incubating start-up companies, through both his C Ventures company and personal investment portfolio, which spans technology, healthcare and consumer sectors.
"I'm proud to see RTFKT's long-term potential recognised with this acquisition. Early on, I saw something very special in RTFKT and we share the same vision of using technology as a way to transform how we approach creativity and innovation. My commitment to developing the metaverse is strong and I am excited to continue on this journey with RTFKT."
C Ventures' investment in RTFKT is strategically aligned with the venture capital company's focus on disruptive businesses in technology, lifestyle and media and its core mission to curate a global ecosystem targeting Millennials and Generation Z.
The investment in RTFKT earlier this year followed C Ventures' participation in a $100 million funding round for Singapore-based company Matrixport, one of Asia's fastest-growing digital asset financial services platforms, in August 2021.
Cheng, a well-known strategic investor, also recently made a personal investment in The Sandbox, in which he will develop his land to showcase a range of successful Greater Bay Area (GBA) start-ups that he has supported and funded.

This article provides information about costing versions, how to maintain them, and the types of data that you can include in them. The primary purpose of a costing version is to contain cost records about items, cost categories, and calculation formulas for indirect costs.
A costing version can serve one or more purposes, depending on the data that the costing version contains. The primary purpose of a costing version is to contain cost records about items, cost categories, and calculation formulas for indirect costs. A costing version can contain a set of standard cost records or a set of planned cost records that are based on the costing type that is assigned to the costing version.
A costing version can support a standard cost inventory model for items, where the costing version contains a set of standard cost records about items and manufacturing processes. Cost data about manufacturing processes is expressed in terms of the cost categories for routing operations and the calculation formulas for manufacturing overheads.
A costing version can contain a set of planned cost records about items and manufacturing processes. A costing version that contains planned costs is often used to support cost calculation simulations, such as simulations of the effect that cost changes to purchased materials or manufacturing processes has on the calculated costs of manufactured items. The item cost records for planned costs can also be used to support an actual cost inventory model by providing the initial values for item costs. These values include the calculation of planned costs for manufactured items.
Data maintenance for cost records in a costing version involves entering costs for purchased items and for items that are transferred between sites. Additional data maintenance for manufacturers involves entering costs for cost categories that are associated with routing operations, entering calculation formulas for the indirect costs that reflect manufacturing overhead, and calculating costs for manufactured items.
The item cost data in a costing version consists of one or more cost records for each item. When an item cost record is first entered, it has Pending status and an intended effective date. When you activate the item cost record, the status is updated to Active, and the effective date is updated to the activation date. Different item cost records can reflect different sites, effective dates, or statuses. When you calculate costs for manufactured items for a future date, the bill of materials (BOM) calculation uses cost records that have the relevant effective date, regardless of whether the status is Pending or Active. An item's current active cost record is used to estimate production order costs and to value inventory transactions under a standard costing inventory model. The maintenance of cost records for cost categories and indirect cost calculation formulas resembles the maintenance of item cost records.
Two blocking policies for a costing version determine whether pending costs can be maintained and whether the pending cost can be activated. Use the blocking policies to permit data maintenance, and then use them to prevent data maintenance for cost records in a costing version.
A costing version can also contain data about item sales prices or purchase prices for BOM calculation purposes.
The main reason for including data about sales prices is to retain a manufactured item's calculated sales price. The calculated sales price can then be analyzed to determine how components, routing operations, and overhead contribute to the cost and sales price.
A secondary reason for including data about sales prices is to define the sales price records for component items. These records can then be used to calculate the sales price of manufactured items. You first define the sales price model that is embedded in a BOM calculation group, and assign the BOM calculation group to purchased items. Then, when you perform BOM calculations that use planned costs, you select the cost price model of the BOM calculation group.
Otherwise, the sales price records for items are used only as reference information, regardless of whether the records are manually entered or calculated. By activating an item's sales price record, you can update the item's base sales price. However, the base sales price isn't site-specific and can be manually overridden. The item's base sales price is used as a default sales price on sales orders and sales quotations.
The main reason for enabling purchase price data is to define purchase price records for component items, so that these records can be used to calculate the costs of manufactured items. The item purchase price records must be manually entered.
To enable purchase price content, you first define a BOM calculation group that contains a cost price model for the item's purchase price, and assign the BOM calculation group to purchased items. You then use a cost price model for the BOM calculation group when you perform BOM calculations that use planned costs to calculate the sales price of manufactured items.
The purchase price records for items are also used as reference information. By changing the status of an item's purchase price record from Pending to Active, you can update the item's base purchase price. However, the base purchase price isn't site-specific and can be manually overridden. The item's base purchase price is used as a default purchase price on purchase orders.

10 Best Smoothie Makers: Which Is Right for You?


Misdiagnosed with depression and bipolar disorder, a 30-something is cautious about taking medication for her inattentive ADHD.
"I was misdiagnosed again in my mid-twenties as having depression. I was prescribed Celexa for a year, which curbed my anxiety but did little to diminish my ADHD symptoms. These misdiagnoses contribute to my fear of medication. Not until I finished college, later in life, did I get a proper diagnosis of ADHD.
I admire your persistence and determination. Despite your challenging experiences with misdiagnosis and medication, you are still looking for answers. As your story shows, the path to an accurate ADHD diagnosis and effective treatment is neither straight nor narrow.
ADHD is an umbrella term for ADHD Hyperactive-Impulsive Presentation, ADHD Inattentive Presentation, and ADHD Combined Inattentive, Hyperactive-Impulsive Presentation. The Inattentive presentation of ADHD, like yours, is frequently missed, or misdiagnosed, due to a lack of commonly recognized ADHD symptoms, like hyperactivity and impulsivity.
Your misdiagnoses are, unfortunately, common. Because there is no medical test to detect ADHD, it is a diagnosis of exclusion — determined by eliminating other possible reasons for the symptoms. The elimination process is based on your history of symptoms, an examination to rule out physical causes of the symptoms, or through a variety of tests to assess for key challenges.
ADHD is developmental in nature, meaning that the condition looks different at different ages. Symptoms of hyperactivity may become less obvious as someone grows older. Many teens and adults appear calmer, but they feel restless and distracted inside. The Inattentive presentation usually lasts from childhood to adulthood, and includes ongoing executive function challenges, such as forgetfulness, disorganization, and problems in concentrating. It is common that, over time, and with a longer history of symptom identification, a professional can properly diagnose ADHD and rule out common co-existing mental health disorders, like bipolar disorder, depression, and anxiety.
A missed diagnosis is disappointing to the patient, and, in your own case, it has resulted in fear and mistrust of medical treatment.
Now that you have received a proper diagnosis, it is understandable that you are hesitant to use medication as a sole treatment for ADHD. You are looking for treatments that will complement medication. ADHD medication is effective in reducing the symptoms of attention deficit, but it is not a standalone treatment. It works best with other treatment approaches, such as talk therapy, coaching, behavior modification, and educating yourself about the condition.
What type of medication is this? Stimulant or non-stimulant?
How does this medication work in my brain? How does it help my ADHD?
What negative side effects are normal with this medication?
What health monitoring checks need to be done, if any?
Are there any side effects that would warrant my calling you, or to stop taking this medication?
How will I know if this medication is working? What differences will I notice?
When do I take this medication? Does it matter if I take it in the morning or at night?
Do I need to take this medication every day?
If I want to stop taking this medication, how do I do that?
Do I take this medication with or without food? Does it matter?
How long will this medication take to start working?
How long do the effects of this medication last after I take it?
What is the plan for following up and adjusting the dose of this medication?
Finding it hard to initiate or stay with an unpleasant or uninteresting task is a common challenge for people with ADHD. In an attempt to get our brains engaged, many people with ADHD are distracted by more interesting activities.
Beginning a task involves more than just getting started doing it. It requires executive functions affected by ADHD, such as prioritization, organization, planning, and time awareness. As "global thinkers," many individual with ADHD are overwhelmed at the "getting started" stage. Global thinkers focus on the big picture and don't see the details. When faced with a big project, you must define the goal you want to achieve, gather all the information, and break down the task into smaller pieces that can be accomplished over time, based on priorities, due dates, and so on. This process is difficult for people with ADHD.
1. Ask yourself about the goal you are trying to achieve. Specifically identifying your outcome will help you get a handle on starting the task. Is the goal to write a two-page paper? Read three chapters of your textbook? Prepare for a test? Knowing the specific outcome helps to narrow your focus.
2. Break the total task into different pieces. If the goal of the task is to read your textbook, break this larger outcome into "read Chapter 1, read Chapter 2, and then Chapter 3." These are smaller, more doable tasks.
3. Estimate how long each smaller task will take. People with ADHD often overestimate or underestimate how long something will take to complete. In order to compensate for this, double how long you think it will take to complete something. Any time left is a bonus!
4. Tackle the pieces of the task in smaller increments of time — say, working 15 to 30 minutes at a time, followed by a short break. Experiment with various time intervals to find out which works best for you.
5. Ask yourself when your brain is most productive. Make sure you schedule your more difficult tasks for these times.
6. Be aware of what distracts you and minimize it. If you notice that checking e-mails is constantly taking you away from the task at hand, plan to check e-mail only for a certain length of time at certain intervals.
7. Experiment with using background noise to help focus on less interesting tasks. A particular kind of music or conversation in the background helps some people focus on a task by providing stimulation that their brain craves. Working in public places, such as coffee shops, provides a sort of "variety" that helps us stay engaged.
It's an exciting time in your life. You have finally got an accurate ADHD diagnosis, and you are willing to address your challenges head-on — anything is possible.
