For a design the other individuals are actually visiting such as, the pinup gal cannot be actually defeated; and also if it transforms off the girls, at that point you won't waste your time along with all of them, considering that women that like it are the ones you wish anyway. Some folks submit their personal styles or talk to the tattoo musicians making something that they keep fantasizing around.
The best important factor is that the design musician is skilled, specifically in doing freehand job without a ton of lays out and also suggestions.
Some tribe societies traditionally created designs through reducing designs into the skin and scrubing the outcoming injury within ink, ashes or even various other agents; some societies proceed this strategy, which could be a complement to scarification.

Product Teardown in the Classroom
Jim Camillo
For more than a decade, students at Massachusetts Institute of Technology have been learning about product teardown. However, it's only been in the last five years that they've been doing actual teardowns.
All component parts displayed after a product teardown. Photo courtesy 2.009 Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
"We talk about needing to learn about your competitive products to understand best practice and how things are done because your goal is to be better than the competition," says David Wallace, a professor of mechanical engineering at MIT since 1995 and teacher of the class. "And now we actually go though the teardown process in the classroom."
In this practice exercise, teams have 45 minutes to take apart a product, and, using a large pegboard, create a display that allowed an observer to easily understand the product, see what parts are in the product, and obtain information about the product and its parts. This exercise helps students organize and mobilize their teams quickly to effectively organize information.
For their product, students are asked to indicate its name, target customer, retail cost, estimated production volume, manufacture location, estimated labor cost and cost of the most expensive part. For each part, students have to provide the material, method of manufacture, estimated manufacturing cost and number of times it was used in the product. Students are supplied with mounting materials, product and part labels, guidelines for identifying plastics and estimating cost, and a digital camera and printer to use as they see fit.
"The class is a group of 15 people, and it's broken down so different people do different tasks," says Wallace. "You really can figure out a huge amount of product information in an hour."
The more successful teardown displays disassemble the product into its most basic components, effectively make use of the entire pegboard space, have an organized and coherent layout and intuitive label placement, group related parts together, and feature logical use of photos to show sub-assemblies and the interaction of different parts.

Q: Efficient way of extracting data into a matrix or numpy array in python I would like to extract data from a txt file while removing the text present in the file using python.
I have a file, say ABC.txt as follows:

disregarding the 'STEP = ' and the following space, I want to store all the numeric data into a numpy array.
I tried the following script that worked :
import numpy as np

with open("ABC.txt", "r") as f:
    lines = f.readlines()

data =np.zeros([24,2])

kk=0

for ii in range(3):

    for jj in range(10*ii+2, 10*ii+9+1):

        data[kk,:] = np.fromstring(lines[jj], dtype=float, sep=' ')
        kk=kk+1

Is there a more direct way of doing this operation ?

A: You can try this:
import re
with open("abc.txt") as f:
    s = f.read()

# get a list of all lines of the text file which start with a digit
lines =  re.findall(r"^\d.*", s, re.M)

# split every line at the space character and convert
# the resulting substrings into floats
numlist = [list(map(float, line.split())) for line in lines]

# convert the resulting list of lists of floats into a numpy array
np.array(numlist)

A: Alternatively, if you don't have access to external libraries and still want to perform this task. You can do the following:
with open("ABC.txt", "r") as f:
    lines = f.readlines()

arr = list()

for line in lines:
    if line[0].isdecimal(): # for every line see if it begins with a decimal number
        arr.append(line.split())

The above can also be done with list comprehensions as follows, both will give same results:
arr1 = [line.split() for line in lines if line[0].isdecimal()]

Building a document that provides essential skills for any student that is writing quality documents will often make a difference in the changes and structure of the entire document. While the main structure often stays the same, there is an adaptability and flexibility as the understanding evolves to mold it a little bit more to their own standard. The structure itself is a form of explaining a theory or supporting evidence in a way that will provide information in a standard way. This is often the standard for every school or university that is providing education. These forms and structures are taught to students when they begin their first essay and research paper.
Thesis statements are the topic statement that depends on the reader and the introduction itself. This will be the primary thing that the writer expects the reader to read. This is what the document will be argued for and about. The main topic will offer different ideas with a seamless action to gauge and incorporate some knowledge within the document. This often determines the direction of the entire paper.
Supporting statements are what the writer makes to support the thesis. This statement will offer some opinions, and factual information that can be applied to see the topic in a clearer way. Depending on the understanding and topic, they are often applied in scientific rigor, and a lot of the information will be stated in a short form before it is argued as a whole. This is what encourages the main statement making more sense.
Arguing statements are what make the bulk of the information. These could have various tricks depending on the quality of the writer and will often have an impact on the type of writer as well. These statements will be mostly opinion and depends entirely on the writer's perspective on their own life. They are a result of observing the facts in action and sometimes there aren't any facts at all.
Leading statement is the context that will create a transition from one statement to another. This will make the paper more readable. It is often placed directly following the arguments.
The explanation of the main ideas in the context will be combined into another argument that makes a push into the minds of the reader. This is also called the conclusion.

Фридрих Вильгельм Рюстов (; 25 мая 1821, Бранденбург-на-Хафеле — 14 августа 1878, Ауссерзиль) — немецко-швейцарский военный теоретик и историк.

Биография
По происхождению пруссак. Начал службу в прусских инженерных войсках, но за написанное им в 1850 году и изданное в Цюрихе сочинение «Милитаристическое немецкое государство до и после революции» («Der deutsche Militärstaat vor und während der Revolution») был предан суду и приговорен к заключению в крепость.

Успев бежать в Швейцарию, он читал там лекции по военным наукам, а в 1857 году поступил в штаб швейцарских инженерных войск.

В 1860 году Рюстов в качестве начальника штаба участвовал в экспедиции Гарибальди против короля неаполитанского.

В 1878 году в Цюрихском университете открылась кафедра военного дела, и Рюстов претендовал на должность профессора. После того, как должность была отдана другому, Рюстов застрелился.

William J. Lewinski Trains Police To Shoot First And Let Him Handle The Fallout
NYT:
The shooting looked bad. But that is when the professor is at his best. A black motorist, pulled to the side of the road for a turn-signal violation, had stuffed his hand into his pocket. The white officer yelled for him to take it out. When the driver started to comply, the officer shot him dead.
The driver was unarmed.
Taking the stand at a public inquest, William J. Lewinski, the psychology professor, explained that the officer had no choice but to act.
"In simple terms," the district attorney in Portland, Ore., asked, "if I see the gun, I'm dead?"
"In simple terms, that's it," Dr. Lewinski replied.
When police officers shoot people under questionable circumstances, Dr. Lewinski is often there to defend their actions. Among the most influential voices on the subject, he has testified in or consulted in nearly 200 cases over the last decade or so and has helped justify countless shootings around the country.
He has appeared as an expert witness in criminal trials, civil cases and disciplinary hearings, and before grand juries, where such testimony is given in secret and goes unchallenged. In addition, his company, the Force Science Institute, has trained tens of thousands of police officers on how to think differently about police shootings that might appear excessive.
Many policing experts are for hire, but Dr. Lewinski is unique in that he conducts his own research, trains officers and internal investigators, and testifies at trial. In the protests that have followed police shootings, demonstrators have often asked why officers are so rarely punished for shootings that seem unwarranted. Dr. Lewinski is part of the answer.
Dr. Lewinski said he was not trying to explain away every shooting. But when he testifies, it is almost always in defense of police shootings. Officers are his target audience — he publishes a newsletter on police use of force that he says has nearly one million subscribers — and his research was devised for them. "The science is based on trying to keep officers safe," he said.
A former Minnesota State professor, he says his testimony and training are based on hard science, but his research has been roundly criticized by experts. An editor for The American Journal of Psychology called his work "pseudoscience." The Justice Department denounced his findings as "lacking in both foundation and reliability." Civil rights lawyers say he is selling dangerous ideas.
Hmm … let me see. He got his doctorate from a diploma mill (you do the research), engages in pseudoscience (which has as its stated outcome keeping cops "safe"), trains cops, always testifies in their defense, and by virtue of the fact that he is the one being called as an "expert" witness, becomes the one who is called to testify as an "expert" witness in future cases, a sort of self-fulfilling prophesy.
Yea. You know what else might become a self-fulfilling prophesy? People knowing that police are going to discharge weapons as a matter of first recourse, and then act accordingly.

Hmmmm. 'Got his doctorate from a diploma mill' and deals in 'pseudoscience'. Sounds like the 'expert' hired by the California Air Resources Board to tell them what they wanted to hear so they could Go Green and destroy the state's economy.
Funny how these 'experts' are always paid with taxpayer's money to extol their wisdom on the unwashed masses. They remind me of the mortician's joke- "We make money while you go in the hole" (literally and figuratively).

On August 4, 2015 at 2:12 pm, Billy Mullins said:
I disagree, but it ought to be an affirmative defense wherein the burden of proof falls upon the defendant. ANY TIME a cop shoots a civilian, it ought to require the cop's defense to prove by a preponderance of the evidence that the shooting was justified. I suspect that a goodly number of cop related shootings are justified, but I suspect that a lot of them that squeak by under the "beyond a reasonable doubt" standard would fall flat under a "by a preponderance of the evidence" standard.
After all, aren't THEY the ones who are "highly trained" and thus more trustworthy?
On August 4, 2015 at 9:22 pm, Paul X said:
Actually, if things were the way they ought to be, the fact it was a cop doing the shooting would be withheld from the jury, and the defendant would be having the same hard time of it as the rest of the peons do with the criminal "Justice System". But, things aren't the way they ought to be. Things are the way they are. The System works for those in it, not for justice.

As Robert Heinlein suggested, cooperate with the police, up until that moment when you have to kill him. There's no middle ground and no "proportional escalation of resistance", just those 2 ways of dealing with police contact. He is the most dangerous version of a man people are likely to encounter in their lives, much more dangerous to a civilian than a professional soldier in a war zone.

This will escalate to the point of civilians shooting ALL cops on contact . . . and letting God sort them out. HE knows which ones killed civilians without provocation.

First, he trains a police officer in a manner which will produce a desired outcome (e.g., questionable shooting).
Then, once the questionable shooting occurs, he is paid a handsome fee to undo the damage.
This guy sounds exactly like Planned Parenthood.
First, tell the public that promiscuous sex is normal, healthy, and a basic human right.
Then, when the promiscuous sex results in conception, they are paid a handsome fee to undo the damage.
Sounds like the usual Obama expert. Perhaps we can have some more expert Ferguson witnesses tell us about how the cop gunned down an innocent choirboy who had his hands in the air or another young man who was shot without caused by some savage white hispanic.
Let's hear it for the author and his experts. Cop haters have all the experts. That's why we have gun free zones, experts know.
Explain to me again why I should be grateful for this boot on my neck? For some reason I'm just not getting it.

Big feet are not your fault! They just grow.
Who has not squeezed their feet into smaller shoes, determined to have that special pair, but unable to find the correct size!? And who among us has not paid the price?! The short-lived pleasure followed by the discomfort and the blisters?
To find beautiful ladies shoes in large sizes is not easy. Although there is a small choice available, these shoes are soon sold out, they are not always fashionable and all too often of poor quality.
I was formerly size 42 myself but, according to a podiatrist into whose hands I fell after a sports injury, had worn shoes all my life which had been too small. He made me wear inlays and bigger (ugly) shoes – and my feet indeed started growing again – until reaching my current size 44. Until then I had often been lucky to find nice shoes (mainly abroad) - but now I was really desperate; whenever I could find shoes in larger sizes, I bought them. In the end I had a collection of many shoes, but they were not really fashionable, did not match my wardrobe and soon ended up in charity shops.
And that is when I faced my own decision-time; what now? For some time I planned to sell shoes in bigger sizes myself. Now was the time! – And that is why my web shop went finally online.
Good quality is important to me – the shoe should not only fit well but will last you for a long time. My aim is to offer a selection of colourful and inspiring ballerinas and moccasins year round and to complement them with styles according to the season.
Why shouldn't a big foot happily be dressed in lilac ballerinas or baby blue moccasins!


Through the powers of the Facebook Newsfeed I saw this morning that one of my old friends currently living in the UK listened to this on Soundcloud. Oh internet, the gift that keeps on giving (I'm always saying this, but that's because it is true!) Doesn't matter how you discover music – stumble upon it at a festival, or stalk your friends with taste – it's all rewarding!
Anyway, Flume is an Australian producer who has quite the NZ following. He's heading back down to NZ for New Year's to play at La De Da. According to Wikipedia, Chet Faker's (also Australian) music is electronica, downtempo, soul – a combination I'm liking at the moment.

ISKANDAR PUTERI (Johor) • It was an emotional farewell for Ms Iman Najwa Hazimi during her recent visit to Sanrio Hello Kitty Town, which is closing for good today.
Ms Iman, 26, was among the first employees of the indoor park in Johor when it opened in 2012.
"It was my first job and I was about 19 years old when I packed my bags and left my hometown in Klang (Selangor) for the job opportunity at the theme park," she said when she visited on Monday.
"I worked here for about two years and made a lot of lifelong friends on the job."
Ms Iman was visiting the Hello Kitty Town for the last time with friends, who were also former staff members of the theme park.
Sanrio Hello Kitty Town is located in the Puteri Harbour theme park in Iskandar Puteri, formerly known as Nusajaya, close to the Tuas Second Link. The theme park also houses other attractions, including a Thomas Town indoor park that closes from today as well.
The RM110 million (S$36.6 million) Puteri Harbour theme park opened its doors in 2012, but struggled to attract visitors.
Accountant Nur Wahida Hashim, 27, who is also a fan of Hello Kitty, lamented the closing of the park.
"Many visitors, especially die-hard Hello Kitty fans, used to travel long distances to experience the theme park," she said.

"It is sad that we have to see it close down so soon, especially as Visit Johor and Visit Malaysia Year 2020 are just about to begin."
Ms Wahida, who visited the place with her colleagues during its last few days of operation, said the experience had brought back nostalgic childhood memories.
Johor is home to at least 10 theme parks, earning it the accolade of the Malaysian state with the most such parks. Besides Hello Kitty Town and Thomas Town, it also has Legoland Malaysia and Angry Birds Activity Park, among others.

Moratti Fired Mancini Did Not Wish
Former Italy national team coach, Cesare Prandelli (58), convinced the competitionquarter-finals season 2015-2016 has not ended despite Juventus winning three points from Napoli in the Serie A Summit.
The distance of the three points that took place after the Naples experience one defeat and two draws in the last three matches.
First, the Napoli lost to Juventus 0-1, after which they arrested 1-1 draw by AC Milan and Fiorentina.
After playing a goalless draw against Fiorentina, Napoli coach Maurizio Sarri feel it will be difficult to compete to win the Serie A title against Juventus.
The Old Lady sure Sarri will continue to consistently reaped positive results. Moreover, in the last 17 matches Juventus never suffered defeat.
Prandelli had a different opinion of the competition board up the Serie A standings, still Him. There are many possibilities that could be experienced by Juventus and Napoli because three points is not a long distance.
"Scramble for the Scudetto is not yet over. Naples Central in good condition. They just coincidentally three points of Juventus, "said Prandelli.
Prandelli will sure is very important to be able to maintain concentration in the 11 games remaining this season.
As long as it was able to maintain the consistency of reaping positive results, it is not impossible there are changes at the top of the competition standings.
"I think the players will ask Sarri to react strongly in competing at the top the standings. They just need to work hard and see what happens in the standings, "said he.
Former Italy goalkeeper Dino Zoff, supports, Gianluigi Buffon to surpass the recordclean sheet himself in Serie a.
Buffon has not suffered from the entry for 746 minutes on the top tier competition Italian Serie a. He needs 157 minutes longer to get past Zoff, who perched on the second position of the ladder's record.
Zoff had such notes with Juventus in Serie A 1972-1973. However, the man who is now 74-year-old convinced himself will soon be ousted.
"Buffon is an outstanding goalkeeper and could beat my record. Hopefully, he can keep the Juventus goal for a long time, "said Zoff.
According to Zoff, Juventus is the material factor endowments Buffon to break the record for clean sheets. In front of Buffon, coach Massimiliano Allegri fielded the usual three sturdy doorstop, namely, Giorgio Chiellini, Andrea Barzagli, and Leonardo Bonucci.
"Credit is also given for the team he deserves. Compared to Juventus I bela, they have the advantage of having already won the Scudetto consecutively and reached the final of the Champions League," said Zoff.
As for best record held by Sebastiano Rossi. He noted 929 minutes without entry along with AC Milan in the season 1993-1994.
To go beyond Zoff and Rossi, Buffon should note clean sheet again when Juventusagainst Atalanta, of the week (6/3/2016), Sassuolo, Friday (11/3/2016), and Torino, Sunday (20/3/2016).
Massimo Moratti hopes that his former club, Inter Milan, want to maintain Roberto Mancini as coach. However, he stated that the decision is in the ranks of management.
Mancini threatened dismissal over the barrage of negative outcomes experienced by Inter Since 2016, I Nerazzurri just won three of ten Serie A match. Consequently, the Inter tops the standings, fell to fifth position.
According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, Mancini mengultimatum management has to win four of the next five Serie A party. If it fails, Mancini would lose his post.
"If Mancini would go without a ticket to the catering jogja Champions League qualification? Such a decision is not taken by me, but rather its management, "said Moratti.
"I hope, he could rebuild the Club because he has qualities," said Inter President ex.
Inter will be the second semi-final against Juventus in the Coppa Italy, Wednesday(2/3/2016), and then make it to the counter party in Palermo Serie A Sunday (6/2/2016).
Moratti sees opportunities Inter in the Coppa Italy is very small because it was lagging behind aggregate 0-3. Moreover, Juventus also experienced a positive trend.
"However, if we were able to bypass of Palermo, that is enough. We will get the space to breathe again, "said Moratti.

NCBA CLUSA leads call urging clarification on housing co-op eligibility under Paycheck Protection Program
By: Kate LaTour/ Director of Government Relations Published: Thursday, June 4, 2020 Share: Print: Subscribe
On June 1, NCBA CLUSA led a coalition of more than 30 local, regional and national organizations urging the U.S. Department of Treasury and U.S. Small Business Administration to issue guidance on the eligibility of housing cooperatives to participate in the Paycheck Protection Program.
The Paycheck Protection Program was part of the CARES Act that was signed into law in March. This program issues loans through private lending that are 100 percent guaranteed by the Small Business Administration and are eligible for forgiveness if the funds are used to meet certain criteria, like keeping people on payroll.
Unfortunately, there has been a great deal of confusion around the eligibility of housing cooperatives to participate in this program, including Treasury's Frequently Asked Questions page that cites cooperative businesses as eligible for PPP loans, as well as the clarification recently issued for electric cooperatives. In the letter the group writes, "Housing cooperatives operate in an identical manner to cooperatives in other sectors and therefore should be treated the same under SBA regulations."
Housing cooperatives employ a range of people to maintain operations, services, and safety. In combination with revenue shortages caused by income loss of member-owners and increased utility usage, housing co-ops need clear guidance from Treasury and the SBA that they are eligible borrowers for PPP loans.
Last week, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and Small Business Committee Chairwoman Nydia Velázquez led the New York City Delegation in a similar letter requesting clarification on the eligibility of housing co-ops.

Cooperative Awarded USDA Meat and Poultry Processing Expansion Program Grant
"Housing co-ops are part of the fabric of New York and deserve to be included in COVID-19 relief programs," said U.S. Senator Charles Schumer. "The administration must issue clear guidance on housing co-ops' eligibility for the Paycheck Protection Program. PPP support is critical for many housing co-ops to weather this crisis and maintain their buildings and employees – as member-owners struggle to pay fees. I will continue to prioritize and fight for expanding PPP eligibility to cover housing co-ops, including pushing for the HEROES Act provision I worked on with Congresswoman Velázquez to expand eligibility if the SBA doesn't act now." The HEROES Act, which expressly states housing cooperatives as eligible PPP borrowers, passed the House of Representatives on May 15, but has not been taken up by the Senate.
"Cooperatives provide an important source of affordable housing, especially in expensive markets like New York City," Chairwoman Velázquez said. "Extending PPP eligibility to them during this crisis will ensure they remain viable and continue contributing to New York's affordable housing stock."

Q: Google Conversion tracking with a Chrome Extensions I am receiving the following error on my Chrome Extension:

Refused to load the script
  'https://www.googletagmanager.com/gtag/js?id=AW-xxxxxxxxx' because it
  violates the following Content Security Policy directive: "script-src
  'self' https://ajax.googleapis.com". Note that 'script-src-elem' was
  not explicitly set, so 'script-src' is used as a fallback.

This is the what i have in the popup.html of my extension:
<script async src="https://www.googletagmanager.com/gtag/js?id=AW-xxxxxxxxx">
</script>

The rest of the conversion code has been moved to the the popup.js
window.dataLayer = window.dataLayer || [];

function gtag(){dataLayer.push(arguments);}

gtag('js', new Date());
gtag('config', 'AW-xxxxxxxxx');

window.addEventListener('click',function(e){
  if(e.target.href!==undefined){
    chrome.tabs.create({url:e.target.href})
  }
})

gtag('event', 'conversion', {
    'send_to': 'AW-xxxxxxxxx/aaaaaaaaaa',
    'transaction_id': ''
});

This is the security policy in the manifest
  "content_security_policy": "script-src 'self' https://ajax.googleapis.com; object-src 'self'"

Is it possible to track conversions in a chrome extension?

Q: Program won't wrap more than two images I need help with this short jquery program. I cannot get it to wrap more than two images in the same row. I want this website to side-scroll and I thought this would be the easiest way of doing it but now I'm stumped.
Here is the jsfiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/nP3VJ/
$(function(){
   $(".gallery").wrapInner("

");
   $("#image").wrap("	");
});

Any help would be very much appreciated.

A: Your problem
Assign multiple objects same id.
Solution
Assign them same class instead of same id.
That's why this doesn't work.
Take a look here: DEMO
So, your code would go:
HTML(only a part)

JS
$(function(){
     $(".gallery").wrapInner("

");
     $(".image").wrap("	");
});

Check the DOM in your web inspector, it will show you images wrapped by td

Manukau's iconic signwriting store, Speedy Signs, was opened by Bruce Hopkins in May, 2000. The population of Manukau that year had the largest increase by number (4,200) and business was developing accordingly. Opening with just 2 staff members, it grew to a team of 11 and Bruce had to move to bigger premises.
20 Questions with Craig Reid of Speedy Signs Manukau
Manukau's iconic signwriting store, Speedy Signs, was opened by Bruce Hopkins in May 2000. The population of Manukau that year had the largest increase by number (4,200) and business was developing accordingly. Opening with just 2 staff members, it grew to a team of 11 and Bruce had to move to bigger premises.
After selling the business to Craig Reid in 2016 Bruce still involves himself behind the scenes in Speedy Signs, in a consultancy capacity.
#1: Craig, you bought the Manukau Speedy Signs franchise in 2016. What were you doing before you bought your Speedy Signs franchise?
I came directly to Speedy Signs from a start-up business, but prior to that, I spent 30 years in the appliance industry working for Panasonic and Fisher and Paykel.
#2: What do you love about the signage business?
I really like the variety of work. We're dealing with owner-operators through to larger corporates and multi-nationals, and it doesn't matter whether I'm dealing with a small or a large company, I really enjoy working with all size businesses. Then there's the variety of jobs we're doing, the range of signage we can offer as a one-stop-shop, it's great.
#3: What's your biggest regret? (every business owner has one!)
Not really a regret, but I probably should have invested in more equipment earlier. I have bought a bit recently which put us in good stead post lockdown.
#4: Have you ever wanted to quit, and how did you deal with it?
Interesting question. No, not here, but in the corporate world, yes on occasion.
#5: What do you love about being part of a franchise network?
The camaraderie, the quality of the business people who own the franchises is very good There are always new challenges we're presented with every day – there's someone in the group that has had the same experience and is able to offer advice and help out.
#6: What are two words to describe you?
Authentic and enthusiastic. When I was working for Panasonic I was always looking at friends' TVs, at F&P it was their kitchens, then paint colouring in the start-up and now it's signage. I am very enthusiastic about whatever I am doing, but also genuine and honest – that's how I like to view myself.
#7: Looking back on the last 3-5 years, what's been the highlight for you?
The highlight is that we are profitable and we're able to reward the staff. I'm very driven by sales, and we've grown our business every year since we started, although this year might be a challenge. I really enjoy my team, the people I work with are great we generally have a good laugh about something that's happened during the day.
#8: What do you struggle with most?
Product knowledge in the industry, but fortunately I have the franchise network to help with that. I also have very capable people across all parts of the business who can help. There are always new products coming out, so how we creatively use those products to differentiate can be a struggle for me at times. Also, focusing on getting one thing done is something I struggle with from time to time, especially when there's a lot on.
#9: I think we all struggle with that at times. Craig, if you think what a customer is asking for isn't going to work, what do you tell them?
We tell them it won't work, explain why, understand what they're trying to achieve and come up with some other solutions. It's pretty rare to not be able to help.
#10: What accomplishment are you most proud of?
In my personal life, it's my family. I know it's a cliché but I have a wonderful wife, four great children, and my first grandchild arrived recently during lockdown. In my business life, seeing the establishment and success of Panasonic New Zealand, then being able to leave my role as MD and know that the younger team taking over the senior roles were going to do a fantastic job, which they have done and continue to do.
#11: If you had one piece of advice to someone just starting out in their new business, what would it be?
Do it. I wish I had done it sooner. Being part of a franchise was important for me because I need the systems and processes around me. Trust the systems, they work. It's most important to get good people around you who have the capability and skill to do the jobs required.
#12: What would you like to say to your last boss?
My last boss was CEO of F&P, and before that, I worked with the same boss for 15 years. I would like to say "thank you"- I learned a lot from them.
#13: What project gave you the most satisfaction / are you most proud of / do you skite about?
Not a specific project but I am proud of the fact that 95% plus of our business comes from existing customers, some that were with the business when it started 20 years ago.
#14: What are you really good at?
Connecting with people across broad demographic backgrounds.
#15: The great thing about a franchise business is that you don't have to be skilled in what the business does, in this case, signwriting. What skills do you bring to the business?
I like to think I understand what a good business looks like and what it needs to operate well - namely great people, good systems and capital. I enjoy working alongside people.
#16: What's the most courageous thing you've ever done?
I stood on Sean Fitzpatrick in a ruck….he was on the wrong side!
#17: What are you known for? (or, what do you think your friends would say about you if you weren't in the room?)
I don't know – my positivity, energy and honesty I guess.
#18: What's something you learned in the last week?
How to tie braid onto nylon fishing knots.
#19: Have you ever met anyone famous?
I've been fortunate to meet lots of famous Kiwis including All Blacks - Graham Henry, who I consider a mate, Sean Fitzpatrick, Grant Dalton, Murray Halberg, Grant Fox, Gary Whetton. My father-in-law is Sir Ron Carter.
#20: If you could retire tomorrow, what would you do?
I don't want to retire, but I guess if I did, travel. Which of course would have to be in New Zealand. I have a holiday home on Great Barrier so I'd spend more time out there.
