Manhood size doesn't matter, it's all in a man's head - Study
08 Oct 2013 at 22:24hrs | Views
A new British study finds that when it comes to worrying about manhood size, it's usually all in a man's head.
For men who worry about their manhood size, a new study reveals that all of that anxiety doesn't actually correlate to whether or not you're large or small.
Researchers from King's College in London have found that while some well-endowed men have "manhood shame," lots of men with smaller than average manhoodes feel completely confident. "It's an emotional feeling," study leader and psychiatrist David Veale told LiveScience. The findings were published online last week in the Journal of Sexual Medicine.
To reach their findings, researchers recruited 173 men online and at the university to answer a battery of questions about body image, erectile function, and other concerns about their sexual parts. In addition, 46 men agreed to having their manhoodes measured in both flaccid and erect states.
Results showed that 30 percent of the subjects reported dissatisfaction with their genitals, with only 35 percent saying that they were very happy with their manhood size. Older men and gay and bisexual men reported higher levels of anxiety regarding their manhood size, the findings showed.
Of the less confident men, "quite a few of them have been teased about their size either by an ex-partner or in the showers as an adolescent," Veal said.
A study published in April in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences found that women prefered larger manhoodes ' with a special preference for tall men who were well-endowed.
Research published in the Journal of Sexual Medicine revealed that the average American man's manhood is 14.2 centimeters long when erect.

P&G – Best Job
Procter & Gamble is one of the official sponsors of the Olympic Games. For the Olympic Games in London in 2012 he made this motivator ad telling the story behind every great sportsman: his family and his mother. A succession of daily events in the life of every person who explains how that athlete manages to get to play in the Olympic Games and how, after finishing a competition, he runs to embrace his family.Under the motto "The most difficult job in the world, it is the best job in the world" and with the music of a then unknown Ludovico Eunaudi, the P&G commercial was so great that even 4 years later they repeated the same formula for Rio 2016 Olympic Games.
Under Armour – Rule Yourself
Under Armor's motivator commercial with Michael Phelps was crowned one of the best ads in 2016. The story of Michael Phelps' return was magnified by what later made the athlete in competition winning 5 golds and a silver. Sacrifice, inspiration and strength combined with exceptional photography, rhythm and a soundtrack perfectly matched with The Kills' song "The Last Goodbye".
Coca-Cola – Reasons to Believe
In 2011 the world was in a moment of depression. The consequences of the crisis originated a chain reaction that affected practically all the countries where the population lived moments of anguish when seeing everything that had around collapsed. In this situation, Coca-Cola made this commercial entitled "Reasons to Believe" in which he tried to convey a message of optimism to the entire population.

To present its new line of wireless adapters, Samsung made this commercial titled 'The Chant'. We see the story of the 400 mts athlete of South Sudan Margret Rumat Rumar Hassan who for the first time in his history will be able to compete under the flag of his country that was created in 2011 and in 2015 was recognized by the IOC. While you are focused to do your test, we see how he remembers all his childhood in his town before reaching the Olympic Games.

Excerpt of the band's thoughts on their 10 year:
It's hard to recall where we were ten years ago, each of us so young and eager, yet unaware how life would unfold. It was a time of change for all of us. Having recently graduated college, reemerged from a bad marriage, or returned home from months of travel, we were ripe for something new. Having been old friends from high school, Kevin & J were living together when they started a weekly jam with friends ...

Danville is the chief town.—Bounded E. by Connecticut river and Essex county; S. by Orange county; W. by Washington county; and N. by the county of Orleans. It contains about 700 square miles. Population, 1820, 16,669; 1830, 19,943. Inhabitants to a square mile, 28. Incorporated, 1792. The eastern range of the Green mountains extends through the western part of the county. It is watered by many fine streams, but the Connecticut and Passumpsic are its chief rivers. A large part of the county is high and good land; that along the rivers is excellent. It produces wheat and other grain, beef cattle, horses, and about 60,000 sheep. There are some sulphur springs in this county; limestone and granite are abundant.


Microsoft has expanded its cloud computing options yet again, this time with a set of programs and offerings centered on its Hyper-V hypervisor. More strategic than technological, the new programs – Hyper-V Cloud Fast Track, Hyper-V Cloud Service Provider Program, Hyper-V Cloud Deployment Guides and Hyper-V Cloud Accelerate – essentially affirm Hyper-V plus System Center as Microsoft's internal cloud play by slapping the "cloud" label on them.
The most significant program appears to be Fast Track, through which customers can purchase preconfigured architectures running Microsoft's cloud software on Dell, Fujitsu, Hitachi, HP, IBM or NEC hardware. HP has already productized this combination in the form of the HP Cloud Foundation for Hyper-V, which houses Hyper-V and System Center on HP's BladeMatrix converged-infrastructure system. Microsoft already has cloud computing partnerships with HP and Dell, so their involvement shouldn't be at all surprising.
The Hyper-V Cloud Service Provider Program looks like a take on the VMware vCloud strategy, only absent any talk of hybrid cloud computing. Whereas vCloud service-provider partners incorporate the vCloud API and vSphere Director to enable various degrees of interoperability between public and private VMware-based clouds, there is no mention of such a connection with the new Microsoft program. Partners, more than 70 worldwide, just offer infrastructure as a service built on Hyper-V and System Center. Notably, however, Microsoft did recently make Windows Server applications portable to Windows Azure.
The Hyper-V Cloud Deployment Guides and Cloud Accelerate are consulting services to help customers design and fund their Hyper-V clouds.
The new programs probably are necessary to help Microsoft sell Hyper-V and System Center as foundational pieces for internal clouds (although rebranding or prepackaging under the cloud banner wouldn't hurt, either). Its biggest competition in hypervisor-based clouds is VMware (sub req'd), which has done a great job (sub req'd) marketing its myriad virtualization products as cloud software. Considering VMware's significant leads in market and mind share, Microsoft needs to help users make the Hyper-V-is-cloud-computing connection if it wants to close the gap.
But the Hyper-V Cloud lineup also perpetuates Microsoft's two-headed cloud attack. That's not necessarily a good thing, because it forces Microsoft customers (those not cut out for the Windows Azure Appliance, at least) to choose between two very distinct platforms depending on their plans. All signs point to internal clouds seeing mass adoption first, which is why many internal-cloud software vendors are pushing products that mirror the public cloud experience. However, as I wrote several months ago (sub req'd), Microsoft appears determined to incorporate on-premise features into Windows Azure without integrating lessons learned in the public cloud back into its on-premise software. Microsoft is doing great things with Windows Azure, so why not bring some of that into Hyper-V and System Center to make them that much stronger?


On Sunday, January 09, 2011 at approximately 2:54 p.m., the Tunica County Sheriff's Office responded to Resorts Casino in reference to an auto burglary.While en route to the scene, the Sheriff's Office was advised that the subject had fled the scene in a blue Chevrolet Trailer Blazer. An officer with the Sheriff's Office was able to make a traffic stop on the vehicle on the parking lot of Paul Battle Arena & Exposition Center.
The male subject was identified as Jerry Donald Roark, 41, of Memphis, Tennessee. The vehicle that the suspect was driving had been reported stolen by the Horn Lake Police Department.
Jerry Donald Roark was transported to the Tunica County Sheriff's Office and is being charged with auto burglary and possession of stolen vehicle.
The victim in this incident was also arrested. Benjamin K. Miller, 33, of Hernando is wanted for probation violation by the Mississippi Department of Corrections (MDOC).
Both, Roark and Miller, remain in custody at the Tunica County Sheriff's Office.

Jessica Pisano
Associate Professor of Politics
Jessica Pisano is an Associate Professor of Politics at The New School for Social Research. She writes and teaches about contemporary and twentieth century politics in Eastern Europe. Her work focuses on the enclosure of public resources, the constitution of material and social power, and political and social processes of dispossession. She asks how shifts in political economy affect people's lives, and how those effects translate into changes in local, national, and global politics. Her research is interdisciplinary, drawing on archival sources as well as a variety of immersion-based methods, including participant-observation research.
Professor Pisano is the author of Staging Democracy: Political Performance in Ukraine, Russia, and Beyond (Cornell University Press, forthcoming 2022) and The Post-Soviet Potemkin Village: Politics and Property Rights in the Black Earth (Cambridge University Press, 2008), which received the Harvard University Davis Center Book Prize in Political and Social Studies in 2009. She is writing a history of property under fascism, state socialism, and neoliberal democracy on a single street in Eastern Europe between 1938 and 2014. Her series of articles on American impeachment and Ukrainian and Russian politics appeared in the online Washington Post.

The Art of Accompaniment
St. John Bosco described the way he worked with the young orphan boys of Italy as a "preventive method," and he said the secret to this approach is to realize our role as true imitators of the Lord. What does Christ do? He enters into the human situation. He draws close to us, intimately close, to the point of sheer vulnerability. But most of all, he fulfills the great hope of Israel. He is "God with us."
Jesus accompanies us on our journey into the heart of God. In the early stages, we haven't yet uncovered the purpose of our life, but even then he's with us. He is patient. He is tender. He's with us as we discover who we are, who he is, and what it's all for.
In his latest "letter" to the universal Church, Pope Francis urges us to embrace the wisdom of this approach:
"...pastoral workers can make present the fragrance of Christ's closeness and his personal gaze. The Church will have to initiate everyone - priests, religious and laity - into this 'art of accompaniment' which teaches us to remove our sandals before the sacred ground of the other. The pace of this accompaniment must be steady and reassuring, reflecting our closeness and our compassionate gaze, which also heals, liberates and encourages growth in the Christian life."
The work of evangelization is, above all, relational. Faith is a lived experience, a way of life that, as the saying goes, is more caught than taught. For when we open up our lives to accompany others on their journey, the opposite is also true. They accompany us on our journey. Our life becomes a living and efficacious witness to the Gospel.

Preview: Joc Pederson Remains In Leadoff Spot As Dodgers Host D-Backs
Gary A. Vasquez-USA TODAY Sports
When the season began for the Los Angeles Dodgers they knew there would be some unavailable starters and key players, and thus, there was a need for role players to step up and replace them.
There were also questions surrounding the Dodgers and where certain players would fit in the lineup. Where would Don Mattingly play Alex Guerrero and Andre Ethier? Would Justin Turner have the same opportunities to make an impact as he did last season?
Well, today there are very easy answers to those questions. Gone are Carl Crawford, Brandon McCarthy and Yasiel Puig due to injuries. In are Ethier and Guerrero, and Justin Turner, who fills in for Juan Uribe and his 11-game hitting streak.
Additionally, Carlos Frias makes his first start of the season and by doing so becomes the eighth different pitcher to start a game for the Dodgers, which is tied for most in the Majors. Frias has pitched 2.1 innings this season (two relief appearances), with his last appearance coming April 27 against the San Francisco Giants.
The 25-year-old right-hander was 2-0 with a 2.84 ERA and had 15 strikeouts in three games (12.2 innings; two starts) with Triple-A Oklahoma City prior to his call-up. Manager Don Mattingly said prior to Friday's game he's hoping for seven innings out of his starter.
Frias will be opposed by former Dodger Rubby De La Rosa, who was shipped away in 2012 as part of the trade that brought Adrian Gonzalez and Crawford to Los Angeles. De La Rosa is 2-1 with a 4.68 ERA and 1.28 WHIP in four starts this season. The only Dodgers to have faced him are Howie Kendrick (5-for-9) and Turner (0-for-3).
Joc Pederson again bats leadoff with the usual suspects hitting behind him. Guerrero bats eighth, giving the Dodgers length and power throughout the order. Friday marks the fourth meeting between the Dodgers and Arizona Diamondbacks this season with the Boys in Blue 1-2 thus far.

Education Minister welcomes support on primary school funding
1 July, 2008 - by Caitríona Ruane
Sinn Féin Education Minister, Caitríona Ruane, has welcomed the call from the Assembly Education Committee to debate the issues on funding provided to primary schools.
The minister said:
"I recognise fully the importance of adequate support to ensure that our children get the best start to their school years. In considering the distribution of the Education Budget in February a key issue for me was funding for primary schools. In the course of the Budget consultation, I listened to the concerns of primary teachers and responded by making provision for an increase in the primary pupil weighting from 1.02 to 1.04 in 2008-09 with a view to increasing this progressively over the Budget period to 1.06 by 20010-11.
"In addition to this, over the three years of the budget period, almost £12million is being provided to help primary school teaching principals in recognition of the pressures they face and a further £32 million to support primary schools with the delivery of the foundation stage of the revised curriculum.
"In addition to these cash elements, I have introduced a sports and languages programme in primary schools that choose to participate.
"These actions demonstrate my recognition of the vital role primary schools have in giving our children the best possible foundation for their education and my commitment to putting more money into primary schools. Last week I launched a strategy to improve literacy and numeracy skills. Primary schools are fundamental in developing these skills early in our children to support them throughout their lives.
"I will shortly be initiating a review of current funding arrangements, including the needs of all schools. This review will help to ensure future funding arrangements improve the educational experience of all children and young people."
In relation to funding levels in the future the minister said that the level of funding which could be made available in future years would depend on the level of available resources and competing priorities.
The minister continued:
"Education and the future of our children must be a priority for all of us but we need to recognise there is a finite pot of available resources and that means choices have to be made."
The minister went on to say that in the context of the constrained financial position facing the Executive, there was a need for everyone to ensure that every penny that was made available was used well. The minister said the establishment of the Education and Skills Authority (ESA) would do this through streamlining the administration of education in a way that would free up resources to go directly to front line services. It will also achieve initial estimated cash savings of around £20million annually and help to deliver real improvements in educational outcomes for all schools.
The minister concluded:
"I welcome the call from the Education Committee and would ask members from all parties to support my efforts to secure increases in future Education budgets." ENDS

Former Trump Campaign Manager Indicted in New Phase of Mueller Inquiry
Former FBI Director Robert Mueller III testifies before the Senate Judiciary Committee during a oversight hearing on Capitol Hill December 14, 2011 in Washington, DC. (Photo: Win McNamee/Getty Images)
President Donald Trump's former campaign manager Paul Manafort turned himself into authorities today on charges stemming from Special Counsel Robert S. Mueller's investigation into possible ties between the Trump campaign and Russia. A federal grand jury has charged Manafort and his business and campaign associate Rick Gates in a 12-count indictment including "conspiracy against the United States, and conspiracy to launder money." Mueller has been investigating Manafort, who resigned as campaign manager in August 2016, for his alleged financial ties to a pro-Russia party in Ukraine. Another former Trump campaign aide, George Papadopoulos, also pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI in the Russia probe while he was a Trump aide.

Q: How to iterate a unordered list in Python Selenium I would like to iterate through the below elements in Python using Selenium webdriver.

What I tried?
skillsSection = a.find_element_by_xpath("//ul[contains(@class, 'skills-section')]")
skillsList = skillsSection.find_elements_by_tag_name("li")
for skill in skillsList:
    print skill.find_element_by_xpath("//span[contains(@class,endorse-item-name')]/a").text

But the problem is, it is always printing the first element value. The element is not incrementing.

A: What you'll want to do is find the tag 'ul' with class='skills-section' and then iterate over the children.
skillsSection = a.find_element_by_xpath("//ul[contains(@class, 'skills-section')]")
for child in skillsSection.find_elements_by_xpath(".//*"):
    ...

See this answer too for more details: Selenium Python get all children elements

A: I've been dealing with a similar issue recently where I could only print the first item in a list.  I discovered a solution that requires multiple lines, and avoids using xpaths.  For your code, you may want to replace:
print skill.find_element_by_xpath("//span[contains(@class,'endorse-item-name')]/a").text

with something like:
a1 = skill.find_element_by_class_name('endorse-item-name')
a2 = a1.find_element_by_tag_name('a')
print a2.text

Not as elegant as one line with xpath, but it (should) work.

Q: Set a background texture to my osgWidget::frame As stated in the title I need to texturize the background of a osgWidget::frame and no matter what I do to it, it does not change from its default white...
Here's what I've tried so far:
titleFrame= osgWidget::Frame::createSimpleFrameFromTheme(
    "frame",
    bgTexture,
    5.0f,
    5.0f,
    osgWidget::Frame::FRAME_TEXTURE
    );

titleFrame->getBackground()->setColor( osg::Vec4(1,1,1, 1) );
titleFrame->getBackground()->setTexture( new osg::Texture2D( bgTexture ) );
titleFrame->getBackground()->setTexCoordWrapHorizontal();

I tried changing the color with set color to a red one but to no avail.
The only solution I've found so far is to fill it with an empty label. Problem is I need that frame to be able to scroll, and I'll need to constantly add and remove items from it, so the empty label solution isn't very good one.
Also, I've tried to add the frame to the window manager after and before changing the background settings, and it didn't work either.
I should also mention that this frame is embedded in a osgWidget::Box, don't know if that changes anything or not.
Anyway, I'd be grateful if anyone has a solution for this problem.
(BTW is it possible to make a widget unfocusable?)

A: I think you need to execute title->setFlags(osgWidget::Frame::FrameOptions
::FRAME_TEXTURE) before titleFrame->getBackground()->setTexture(image).
Otherwise titleFrame->canTexture() will return false.
// I don't have here the environment to confirm the solution.

A: Try with titleFrame->getBackground()->setImage(image, true).

'QAnon Shaman' Jacob Chansley Seeks Dismissal of One Count, Secures Hearing in Fight to Get Out of Jail
Marisa SarnoffJun 29th, 2021, 9:05 pm
Jacob Chansley, the QAnon Shaman, is seen at the U.S. Capitol in a Jan. 6, 2021 Getty Images photo. He is also seen in a Feb. 4, 2021 mugshot released by the Alexandria, Va. Detention Center.
Jacob Chansley, also known as the "QAnon Shaman" of the Jan. 6th siege on the U.S. Capitol, has asked a judge to dismiss one of the six charges against him, claiming that it was "erroneously charged."
In a court filing Tuesday, Chansley's attorney Al Watkins argues that the second count against Chansley, Obstruction of an Official Proceeding, shouldn't apply to his client.
The law at issue, 18 U.S.C. § 1512, prohibits "tampering with a witness, victim, or an informant." Section 1512(c)(2), which Chansley is specifically charged with violating, sets a penalty of up to 20 years in prison and/or a fine for someone who "corruptly . . . otherwise obstructs, influences, or impedes any official proceeding, or attempts to do so[.]"
Watkins argues that the "proceedings" his client is charged with interrupting are outside the bounds of what the law was meant to protect.
"The Ninth Circuit has carefully considered and recognized, based on the plain language of the statute, an offense under Section 1512(c) does not prohibit the obstruction of every governmental function; it only prohibits the obstruction of proceedings related to the administration of justice that take place before a tribunal," Watkins wrote. "Stated differently, Section 1512(c), by its plain language, does not criminalize the obstruction of legislative action by Congress. Any alleged obstruction of the certification of an electoral college vote is simply outside of the reach of Section 1512."
Watkins also argues that the indictment didn't specify which "official proceeding" Chansley is alleged to have obstructed, and this lack of specificity amounts to a violation of Chansley's constitutional rights.
"Count Two of the indictment is flawed because it fails to specify what 'proceeding before Congress' Mr. Chansley allegedly obstructed and, more importantly, whether it relates to the administration of justice," Watkins wrote. "Indeed, courts have limited the reach of Section 1512 by holding that obstructive conduct is proscribed insofar as it affects a proceeding that is judicial in nature."
Chansley's motion to dismiss the obstruction count against him wasn't the only movement in the organic food-fan's case Tuesday. He also filed a motion for a bill of particulars, asking for more details on each of the charges against him. Watkins, Chansley's attorney, wrote that the motion is "necessary for [Chansley] to understand the charges against him so that he may adequately prepare his defense and not be subjected to unfair surprise at trial."
District of Columbia Judge Royce Lamberth also set a hearing Wednesday for Chansley's motion to be released from custody.
Chansley is one of the more notable figures to emerge from the siege on the U.S. Capitol by Donald Trump supporters. Since his arrest, he has gone on a hunger strike, given an interview to 60 Minutes+ (which seems to have backfired), and has been ordered to undergo a psychological exam.
Chansley has also distanced himself from the former president. And Watkins has been less than graceful in his own references to the various Jan. 6th defendants — all in an attempt, he has said, to draw attention to the issues their cases present.

Q: quicksort bug not found after working a whole day on this, i cannot find what is wrong with my code, i cannot find where my error is. can someone please help me figure out what i did wrong?
void a_quick(int array[], int i, int j){
    //Array Quick Sort
    if ((j - i) < 2){
        return;
    }
    int top = j;
    int bot = i;
    int p_location = i + (j + i) / 2;
    int pivot = array[p_location];
    while (i < j){
        while (array[i] < pivot){
            i++;
        }
        while (array[j] > pivot){
            j--;
        }
        if (i <= j){
            swap(array[i], array[j]);
            i++;
            j--;
        }
    }
    a_quick(array, bot, p_location);
    a_quick(array, p_location + 1, top);

}

running the code on 64k int arrays will crash the computer, and i need to get it to run on 128k.
im getting:
Test Array:
703 322 673 141 253 547 662 37 723 529 316 190 288 40 264 446 890 370 6 393

Quick Sort w Array:
6 37 40 141 253 190 316 288 264 322 393 370 446 529 723 662 890 547 673 703

A: One problem is that the last two lines should read:
a_quick(array, bot, p_location - 1);
a_quick(array, p_location + 1, top);

Another problem is that you need to be prepared to move the pivot around (and keep track of its index). Your code would only work if the pivot already happens to be in the correct spot, which is unlikely.
For comparison, take a look at the several versions of the pseudocode available in Wikipedia.

A: It's rather broken. You need to move the pivot item out of the way (conventionally to the beginning of the array you are partitioning) since it's very unlikely that half the elements are less than the pivot and half greater.
And as others have said, you're including the pivot in both sub partitions when you recurse.
I would start by proving one partition run works (i.e don't recurse for now, stop when the partitioning is done, and check the array is now how you would expect)

A: The way you compute the pivot has a problem. Ask yourself what happens when the indices are 5 and 9. Instead of this:
p_location = (j - i) / 2;

Try something more like:
p_location = i + (j - i) / 2;

A: this should work
void a_quick(int array[], int i, int j){
//Array Quick Sort
if (j <= i) return; // change here (j - i) < 1 (not 2)

int top = j;
int bot = i;
int p_location = (j + i) / 2; // change here - by + so you pick the middle
int pivot = array[p_location];
while (i < j){
    while (array[i] < pivot){
        i++;
    }
    while (array[j] > pivot){
        j--;
    }
    if (i <= j){
        swap(array[i], array[j]);
        i++;
        j--;
    }
}
a_quick(array, bot, j); // change here (dont use p_loc, use i and j)
a_quick(array, i, top); // and here

}

A: this code works fine for me
   void a_quick(int array[], int i, int j){
    //Array Quick Sort

    int top = j;
    int bot = i;
    int p_location = (j + i) / 2;
    int pivot = array[p_location];
    do {
        while (array[i] < pivot)i++;
        while (array[j] > pivot)j--;
        if (i <= j){
            swap(array[i], array[j]);
            i++;
            j--;
        }
    } while (i<=j);
    if (bot<j) a_quick(array, bot, j);// problem is most likely here
    if (i<top) a_quick(array, i, top);// or here
}

A: I tried:
void a_quick(int array[], int i, int j){
    //Array Quick Sort
    if ((j - i) < 2){
        return;
    }
    int top = j;
    int bot = i;
    int p_location = (j - i) / 2;
    int pivot = array[p_location];
    while (i < j){
        while (array[i] < pivot){
            i++;
        }
        while (array[j] > pivot){
            j--;
        }
        if (i <= j){
            std::swap(array[i], array[j]);
            i++;
            j--;
        }
    }
    a_quick(array, bot, p_location);// problem is most likely here
    a_quick(array, p_location, top - 1);// or here
}

int main()
{
    // int d[] = { 5, 1, 6, 4, 8, 2, 3, 7, 9, 0};
    int d[] = { 5, 1, 6, 4, 8, 2, 3, 7, 0, 9};
    a_quick(d, 0, 9);

    std::copy(d, d+10, std::ostream_iterator<int>(std::cout));
}

> g++ sort.cpp
> ./a.exe
0124356789 >

And it worked fine.
What we really need is an example of it failing.
Hopefully with a full test harness that just compiles and runs and shows the error.

A: This should work
#include <memory>
#include <iterator>

It is great to track the movement of a lead through our process (groups) as we collect the proper on-boarding paperwork. I enter in a lead as I make first contact, and track the dates. I can also add misc. notes about them as we go along. They need to have 3 sets of paperwork turned into me before they are ready to hit the operations team for a launch so without this board it would be an unorganized mess. Before this we would be forgetting who turned in which piece of information and we would look bad to our clients.
We started with a handful of leads to see what information needed to be captured. Once you prove out a system with a low quantity, you can scale it. I start by tracking potential client sin "Active leads". Then, when they sign a sales agreement, they move to "Signed up" and from there I try to collect the other 2 sets of paperwork. I then put them into the "Restaurants onboarding" group and they stay there until Operations moves them to "Completed".
"Its just an easy way to manage a large quantity of different clients. Each of them own a restaurant or a chain of restaurants so they expect their shop to be the most important one, its their baby."
It is super flexible and custom to our needs! When you are talking to 50+ businesses a day, you need to see it all spread out. I love the simplicity of the board and how it is so easy to visually get an overview of everything. Also it is nice to be able to have managers and members of other departments just go in here when they have any questions instead of bothering me with them. Lol.
Without this template I would probably lose track of half of my leads and make half as much money in the process. I would also spend half of my day reporting to my superiors and trying to explain why certain accounts aren't up yet just by going off of my sprawling notes and over complicated excel sheets.

After two seasons on unfulfilled Final Four hopes, the Adamson Baby Falcons are in the UAAP's second season.
Both had one more year of eligibility but decided to move forward from their collegiate squads.
Adamson lost the finals seat but gained the respect of the UAAP community.

Diarthrognathus broomi és una espècie extinta de rèptil mamiferoide. És conegut a partir de restes fòssils trobades a Sud-àfrica. És interessant per la seva estructura mandibular a mig camí entre la dels mamífers i la dels rèptils, amb una articulació reptiliana entre el quadrat i l'articular i una articulació mamiferoide entre l'escatós i el dental.
