UNCG Women's Basketball: Season Concludes With Loss To Chattanooga
Andrew Salmon
UNCG Women's Basketball season came to an end in Asheville on Thursday, falling 72-62 to Chattanooga in the SoCon Tournament. The Spartans finish the 2019 campaign with an 11-19 record after finishing 13-18 last season.
The sixth-seeded Spartans knew they'd have their hands full with no. 3 seed Chattanooga, whom they had split the season series with. UNCG had earlier defeated the Lady Mocs 53-49 on Feb. 28 but lost 64-54 on Feb. 2, respectively.
Junior forward Nadine Soliman led the Spartans with 19 points and 7 boards, and junior guard Cece Crudup added 14 points in one of her best offensive performances of the season. UNCG, however, shot 34 percent for the night and saw Chattanooga hit 21 free throws to their six. It was just enough to allow the Lady Mocs to squeak by with the ten-point win.
The contest looked at first like it might get ugly. The Lady Mocs did not trail game, blasting off with a 15-2 run and leading 23-10 at the end of the first quarter. UNCG shot just 18 percent in the opening quarter, and 20 percent for the first half.
Still, UNCG found itself down only nine at halftime thanks to another smothering defensive performance. The Spartans, which led the SoCon in scoring defense at 60.9 points per game, surrendered just eight points in the second quarter and continued to dominate on the offensive glass, grabbing 17 offensive rebounds on the night to Chattanooga's nine. The Blue and Gold simply couldn't put the ball in the basket—a common theme for this squad, which shot a pedestrian 39 percent from the field this season.
After trading blows in the third quarter, the Spartans finally got heated up in the fourth, shooting a scorching 57 percent. However, Chattanooga did too, and eventually stretched their lead to 61-49. That's when UNCG locked it in. Sophomore center Aja Boyd scrapped for her own miss, then flipped it up for a layup to bring the deficit to within ten. Following a Chattanooga bucket and a UNCG layup, Nadine Soliman stepped into a clutch three brought the Spartans to within seven, 63-56.
Crudup nabbed the ball from Chattanooga's Morgan Hill the next possession and coasted for the transition layup. Five-point game—the closest UNCG had been since the first quarter. Unfortunately, the Spartans ran out of gas and the Lady Mocs were able to convert nine of their last ten free throws to pull away for the victory despite UNCG's valiant comeback effort.
The Lady Mocs moved onto the SoCon Tournament Semifinals, where they lost to second-seeded Furman 73-67. The Paladins advanced onto the Final, matched up against no. 1 Mercer, which went a perfect 14-0 in conference play. Mercer pulled out a gritty 66-63 win for their second consecutive SoCon championship and a berth in the NCAA Tournament.
UNCG now has a long offseason ahead and will return most of the team. If Soliman can get some help on offense, UNCG Women's Basketball will be sleeper in the SoCon in 2020.

Q: What is causing this distortion of a pulse wave when recorded to a reel-to-reel tape? I'm currently trying to record a pulse train used as a tempo clock for music instruments (e.g. output of Korg Volca 'sync out') onto my Fostex M-8 reel-to-reel recorder, with the aims to then reproduce the recorded pulses to act as a clock source for the instruments. A working demonstration of this using a different tape recorder can be seen here in this youtube video, so I know it's possible to get working.
My problem: When I use my recorder pulse signal as  input to a Volca Bass unit, I'm getting very erratic behavior where the playback is irregular and at a different tempo than when I recorded the signal.
I'm using a Roland tr-09 as my clock source, and the output of the trig jack gives a nice clean square wave:

The captured signal from the output of the reel-to-reel gives a slightly attenuated pulse, with a very long discharging tail from a negative polarity back to zero.

I'm getting this weird capacitance looking discharge. Is this just the nature of the tape that's causing this? Is there something about a DC component being filtered out? Why did the demonstration in the linked video work, which is also recording onto tape, but I'm getting this result?

A: Magnetic recording is inherently differential; using an inductive pickup, one measures changes in the magnetic field rather than levels.  This implies a rolloff at some frequency which will be determined by the specifics of circuit design.  The DC and low frequency components are being attenuated due to that effect.

A: I had a quick look at the video, and didn't see an image of a waveform.
It is entirely possible that the waveform recorded in the video is just a distorted as your is, but that it still works.
Tape recorders can't record DC.  Even if they could, most audio gear is AC coupled - DC is removed from all signals.  The waveform you show looks like a square wave that's been through a high pass filter to remove the DC.
Old personal computers (1970-1980 era) used tape recorders and square wave signals to record data and programs on cassette tapes.
They used a schmitt trigger to reshape the distorted waves into nice, neat square waves to be handled by the microprocessor on playback.
The edges of your signal are still sharp.  A schmitt trigger could fix your signal to be a square wave again.

A: The clock signal expects DC coupling that no audio equipment is expected to have.
The PROPER way to fix the problem is probably modulation - the clock signal to modulate some carrier well into the recorder useful frequency response. A simple telegraph-style AM should work - high level of the clock signal to produce 1-5kHz carrier, low level to produce silence. The demodulator will be rather simple (diode, capacitor and resistor).
Well, depending on the environment, it may be easier to use an equalizer or an edge-triggered logic gate in order to recover the original pulses. If the input is tolerant to different signal levels, it may as well work better at some different signal level. All these half-ass solutions will depend on the beat frequency and work for one rhythm an fail for some other.

A: Your original digital signal is bent out of shape because it has been high-pass filtered by the tape recorder.
Let's have a look at Korg Volca service manual and dig in the schematics, here is the input circuit for Sync:

Presence of R158 hints at trouble as this is not some simple digital input circuit. On the contrary Q9 is in linear mode, biased by the resistors around it. I'll just run a simulation:

I removed the EMI filters (inductor and caps) on the original schematic. V1 models the original "square wave pulse" clock signal. C1, R1 and unity gain buffer E2 model the tape recorder and its high-pass filtering action. This results in signal "hipass" on the simulation plot, which looks like what you get on the scope.

Trace "out" is the output of the first transistor, and traces "rise" and "fall" are the corresponding signals in the service manual schematics. The names hint at a rising/falling edge detector, and all the signals look like garbage. This is not working.
Now I remove the circuit which simulates the response of your tape recorder and feed the square wave signal directly to the simulated Korg Vulca. It seems to work, outputs "rise" and "fall" produce neat pulses on corresponding edges of the input signal.

So we know the reason why it doesn't work: the Vulca input circuit likes to receive a nice square wave. They could have fixed this with an extra 5c transistor, but, hey, it costs money.
Also the input circuit doesn't seem to care much about input voltage level since I mistakenly used 5V clock pulses and it works. It also works with 12V pulses which is what your scope shows.
So you need a circuit to turn the highpass-filtered clock into a square signal with nice flat constant levels between edges.
Since the signal is digital, a simple way to recover the original signal would be to use a comparator, a CMOS 4000 buffer, or a two transistor circuit shown below:

You can use any kind of NPN like 2N3904, BC547, etc. Power supply voltage is not critical, like 5-12V. You could even stick it inside the Vulca and tap its power supply.

Oregon Healthcare Workers Save the Day
Photo Courtesy of: abc7ny.com
This is an image of someone getting the vaccine on the Oregon roadside.
Mallory Priest, Journalist
People Magazine and NBC News share important information about 20 Oregon healthcare and volunteers who were going to travel 30 miles to deliver Covid vaccines, but unfortunately got stuck behind a jackknifed tractor-trailer, and the 6 remaining Covid vaccines expired in just a few hours. It took 45 minutes to find 6 willing volunteers to take the first dose of the vaccine.
One of the healthcare workers who got stuck was Dr. Weber and he would be the one giving the vaccine. Dr. Weber said that there would be an ambulance team overseeing the operation. The team went around asking all of the drivers if they would like the first dose of the vaccine, and the majority of people declined, but 6 drivers accepted the offer.
One of the recipients was an employee from the Josephine County Sheriff's Department who was too late to the Cave Junction vaccine sight, and she was headed to the Grant Pass vaccine sight when she got stuck in the snowstorm. One man was so excited at the offer, that he took his shirt off and jumped out of the car in the freezing cold.
"The team had six doses of the Covid-19 vaccine remaining from the clinic, which they had planned to administer at nearby Grants Pass, but the snow prevented them reaching the city before the prepared doses would expire," states NBC News.

Even though multiple people denied the offer, the 6 who accepted, were appreciated by the health care workers and volunteers because their number 1 rule right now is that nothing gets wasted. This setup may seem sketchy and unsanitary, but the proper precautions were taken to administer the Covid-19 vaccine.
"Weber stuck the vaccination paperwork in his coat, while another team member grabbed the bin with the vaccine doses, alcohol, and gauze. Other staff members brought a container for the discarded needles and umbrellas for the wet snow. The ambulance that had been on-site at the vaccination event was stuck with them in traffic and was ready to go in the rare case that someone had an allergic reaction," wrote People Magazine.
The vaccine distribution process was slow in the beginning, but thankfully it picked up the last couple of weeks.
"As of Jan. 27, Oregon has administered 325,488 doses of a COVID-19 vaccine, according to the Centers for Disease Control, and nationwide, 20,687,970 people have received at least one vaccine dose. After a slow start to the distribution effort, vaccinations have picked up significantly in the last few weeks. President Joe Biden has vowed to give out 100 million doses in his first 100 days in office, and is on track to meet or exceed that goal," explains People Magazine.
With the number of Covid cases rising, hopefully, the number of people vaccinated will continue to rise also. Thankfully 6 more people are vaccinated due to the 20 amazing employees from the Josephine County Public Health Office.

While ladder manufacturers strive to produce the safest ladders possible, a well-made ladder is not enough. Our safety while climbing or working on a ladder depends on following safe work practices: choose the correct ladder for the job; inspect the ladder before use; set up the ladder properly; and, use the ladder in a safe and proper manner.
Accident investigation is a key component of an effective safety process, but very few investigations achieve their intended purpose. All too often the focus of an investigation is finding someone responsible for an incident, but it should really be about finding facts, finding real causes and finding the fixes that will prevent the incident from happening again. For an accident investigation to be successful, it must lead to proactive safety improvements and injury prevention.

Coalition governments can play an important part in democracy
Politics / June 4, 2010 June 4, 2010 / By Sherwin
We don't elect a prime minister here in Canada. We vote in our own constituencies for a representative. Government is usually formed by the party with the most representatives. But sometimes, government is formed by a coalition of parties. No big deal. We elect a parliament, not a particular party. Parliament sorts it out. 1
And just because a minority government gets a non-confidence vote in the House, a whole new election doesn't have to get triggered. When a government falls, it's just not true that the only option is to have an election. But you hear this falsehood spoken often. You hear journalists say it. You hear newspaper editors say it. And you hear big business say it. And of course, lately the Conservatives have been saying it.
When a minority government falls, any other portion of parliament can come forward with the intent to form government. The majority of Canadians voted against Harper's Christians last election. I would prefer a coalition.
Our type of democracy is not the most democratic. Most advanced democracies use some form of proportional representation. But that's another question for another day. ↩

For businesses which cannot afford VPS hosting servers running Windows OS can opt for Linux as it is cost-effective and it is an open source. Being open source means that you need to worry about the licensing fee (must for Windows Server) and the costs involved in purchasing compatible applications. Your Linux VPS works seamlessly with most of the open source technologies or programs, such as Apache, MySQL and PHP-based web applications. When it comes to choosing a Linux operating system, there are several Linux server distributions also known as "Linux server distros", some of which you may not be aware. Here are the top ten Linux server distros that are preferred by most businesses across various industries that fulfill their VPS hosting requirements.
Ubuntu – At the top of almost every Linux-associated OS list, the Debian-based Ubuntu is in the class itself. Owned by Canonical, this Linux distribution surpasses all other of its counterparts – from its simple installation to its excellent hardware discovery to its world-class commercial support. Thereby, Ubuntu leaves the others in action in the dusty distance.
SUSE – SUSE Linux is stable, easy-to-maintain and provides excellent 24×7 technical support for those who do not have the patience or time for lengthy troubleshooting phone calls. Owned by Novell, SUSE Linux has a team of consultants who will have you meeting your SLAs and making your accountants happy to boot.
Red Hat Linux – Started out as a little Linux firm, Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) is now a major force in the quest for datacenter rack space. Many multinational companies prefer this Linux distribution in their servers thanks to Red Hat's innovations and non-stop customer/technical support.
Mandriva – Most businesses in the US might not be familiar with this Linux distribution as this incredibly well-built server distribution comes from France and it enjoys wide acceptance in the European and South American countries. As per its website, the name 'Mandriva' is derived from Mandrake Linux and Connectiva Linux distributions.
Xandros – If you prefer a Linux server distribution with a Microsoft connection, then Xandros is the one you are searching for. Even though Microsoft 'hate' Linux folks, the software giant is rumored to be collaborating with Xandros in what many industry observers say as "cooperatition". This means that they compete cooperatively. To find out about this unique perspective, check out their official website.
Slackware – Slackware maintains relationships with several businesses that provide fee-based support even though it does not associate with other commercial Linux distributions. One of the earliest available Linux VPS server distributions, Slackware has an extensive and a faithful follower base. Its developers regularly roll out new versions.
Debian – If you are confused by Debian's inclusion here, then don't be. This Linux distribution does not have formal commercial support but you can connect with Debian-savvy professionals and the word around through their Consultants page. Debian has produced more 'smaller' distributions than any other parent Linux distro, including Vyatta, Linux Mint and Ubuntu.
Vyatta – Vyatta is more at home on routers and firewalls than desktop-based systems, but if you want a commercial-based Linux distribution of those applications. Also, this type of Linux distribution works well for your secure communications requirements.
CentOS – It is true that CentOS is not strictly commercial, but since it is based on Red Hat Linux, you can get customer/technical support for it. CentOS has its own storage locations and community support and is not the same as Fedora Linux distribution.
If you are going for Linux VPS hosting solution then you will be benefited with its features such as less consumption of resources and memory, and the availability of cPanel control panel. Linux distributions have SSH access which in turn reduces the load on your virtual hosting server and boost website performance.
It is not that one is superior to the other, and Linux is a good choice if you are looking for something inexpensive and want direct access over the server. However, you need to be technically skillful, and if your business relies heavily on Windows-based software and if you re looking for an easy-to-use interface, you can switch over to hosting server running on Windows Server OS.

Today is the day! Friends, I could not be more thrilled to introduce you to the Keepsake Kitchen Diary™. A project born out of my love of food and the memories associated with meals shared with family and friends! I truly believe the fondest memories are made when gathered around the table. This book holds such a special place in my heart and I hope you love it too.
When I first started Lily & Val in 2012, I offered hand painted chalkboards on Etsy. Most of these chalkboards had a kitchen theme and in fact, my very first chalkboard was created for my own kitchen! The boards could be customized with special foods and items that held meaning to the buyer and their families. I enjoyed hearing stories from my customers telling me why a particular recipe was so important and sentimental to them. Later, some customers even came back to tell me how the food designs made someone cry (in a good way)!
As the Lily & Val brand developed, the idea of simple and small things (like food!) becoming some of the important or big things in our lives, became a core belief. Now, this philosophy has become ingrained into what we do, including the concept for this blog, as well as the products we offer on lilyandval.com.
Fast forward from starting Lily & Val – I'm in the kitchen with my mom and we are going through my grandmother's notebook where she hand-wrote all of her favorite recipes. As my mom carefully turned each page, she recounted her memories of each recipe. As I listened to my mom tell these stories, I realized more than ever how precious they were and that without her commentary, something very special could be lost.
I knew I needed to create something that would marry these two things, recipes and memories, in a meaningful, beautiful way. So, about two years after this epiphany, I proudly present the Keepsake Kitchen Diary: a DIY recipe & memory cookbook.
The diary contains room for approximately 200 recipes and is divided into 6 sections: starters, soups/salads, main courses, side dishes, desserts, and miscellaneous. Each spread has a page for the recipe on the left and a journaling memory page on the right. This page features fun prompts to fill out like the date you first tried the recipe, and also includes a log for recording each date and occasion when the dish was made.
Each section also includes a hand-drawn Lily & Val kitchen-themed illustration! These designs are exclusive to the diary. On the flip-side of each illustration is a different kitchen reference or cooking guide!
One of my favorite details is the tear-out recipe cards included in the back. We believe great recipes are meant to be shared so this makes it simple! 12 cards are included with each diary.
I invite you to learn more at keepsakekitchendiary.com! The truth is, I wanted this book for my own family and I'm overjoyed to be able to offer it to you all. I would love to see how you use your diary! Please share with us on instagram using #keepsakekitchendiary and tag @lilyandval so we can see! I've heard so many great ideas already like scrapbooking the pages and having little ones color in the illustrations to leave their mark! We're already brainstorming ideas over here like hosting a Kitchen Diary Swap where friends can get together and write a recipe in each other's books!


Cardiff's Craig 'The Kid' Kennedy (11-0, 6KO) will get the opportunity to build on his momentum when he faces Liverpool's crafty Courtney Fry (19-6, 6KO). The cruiserweights will meet to contest a 10 round fight, which will also double up as an eliminator for the British title. Sanigar Events will promote the show, titled 'Unleash The Dragon', at the Newport Centre on Saturday 12 June. Victory will take the winner one step closer to a shot at the Lonsdale belt, which is currently held by Ovill McKenzie. The 35-year-old, who also has the Commonwealth title, most recently defended his titles with a Majority Decision over Blackpool's Matty Askin, who prepared for the fight by sparring Kennedy – it was the first time McKenzie had gone the 12 round distance in his 12 year career. After a steady apprenticeship, Kennedy came through his first test against London's Wadi Camacho in March, impressively dropping and stopping the ex-Prizefighter tournament winner in seven rounds. The pair had originally fought in the October prior to the rematch but Camacho was disqualified after an alleged bite in a controversial encounter. Kennedy, who is trained and managed by former WBO world featherweight champion Steve Robinson, will be in familiar territory having fought at the venue on five previous occasions in his two year career. The prospect, who is undefeated in 11 outings, has scored three knockouts at the Newport Centre and collected his first career title there in March 2013, the British Masters Bronze belt. On the other hand, Fry has produced mixed results since stepping up to cruiserweight. The 39-year-old retired after five rounds in the ring with faded legend Roy Jones Jnr in July but then upset John Lewis Dickinson in November, dropping the former British champion numerous times on route to a decision win by a one point margin. Fry, who competed in the Commonwealth and Olympic Games as an amateur, has spent the majority of his career in the light-heavyweight division. In 2009, Fry unsuccessfully challenged Cefn Fforest's Nathan Cleverly for the British title, suffering an eighth round stoppage defeat. The adopted Scouser called time on his days in the 175lbs category in 2014 when he suffered back-to-back defeats to two more Welshmen in the space of six months against Swansea's Enzo Maccarinelli and Mountain Ash's Nathan King.

Netbooks have had their day and now the end is nigh as Dell admits it is no longer making the diminutive computers.
Eagle-eyed netbook watchers recently spotted that the company is no longer selling its Inspiron Mini netbooks online, and a Dell spokesperson has since confirmed that the company is dropping out of the netbook race.
"Thin and powerful is where it is at for us," Dell's marketing director Alison Gardner told The Verge.
Thin and powerful – sounds like Ultrabooks to us, although good on Dell for avoiding Intel's branding there.
Dell's more about the XPS 14z and its ilk these days, and we're hoping to see more of the same from the company launching at CES 2012.
Let's hope the company can slim the range down just a little bit more though; it's not quite at MacBook Air levels of slenderness just yet.
Dell may be the first company to run from the netbook market like a rat from a sinking ship but others won't be far behind; Intel, Samsung and Acer have all been considering the same course of action.


I wonder why Grandpa wanted the old books. I have never seen him read before. Maybe he wants to add more books to the library.
I go down to the basement . I am trying to find the box of books, but just as I am looking around I spot the box. On top of the box there is an ancient notebook. I go to grab it, but just then I hear my mom open the door.
"Hi, Dad . Come in and have a seat.I made banana bread.Do you want some?"Mom says.
He's not here for the books, I think to myself, he's here for a book.I ignore the chatter and open the book. On the front page it says "My Journal"under that it says "Tim Miller".That's my grandpa's name.It was his journal from high school.
Should I read it or not I ask myself. I go ahead and turn the page. I start reading. It says "I met this girl today.She is the most prettiest girl I have ever seen before" I stop, is that Grandmother or is it someone else? I keep reading. " She has long hair, dark blue eyes, and the most beautiful smile. Her name is Alice Wilson." I read. That's not Grandmother , it's someone else.
"Oh, I am sorry I read your journal." I say with a sad face.
"It's ok," Grandpa says with a smile and he gives me a piece of banana bread.


Independent Living Communities (IL) characterized by apartment-style buildings, and sometimes cottages, offer a variety of services and activities for seniors who must be able to live independently. IL's are not licensed and medical care is not provided, though arrangements can generally be made for short-term home health services.
Apartments range from studios, to one- and two-bedroom units, with partial or full kitchens. Often units have outdoor patios or balconies. Covered-parking is generally included with options for garages. Residents pay monthly rent which covers housekeeping, utilities, laundry, 24-hour staffing, and various meal plans.
IL's typically offer a range of activities for residents and often have fitness centers, pools, libraries, theaters, and club rooms. Often transportation is provided.


The last few years it occurred several times that I had to install a Oracle 10g database on Windows or Linux. I must say for demo, development, training or try-out purposes, in case you think that I'm a in-depth DBA.
For the same reasons I wanted to install a 11g this time, under a OEL 5 based VMware image. To be used for Soa Suite 10133, but that is a different story.
It turns out not to be a 1-2-3 job to do. Here is my step-by-step recipe with my findings.
Oracle recommends to create a separate user-group for the installation, called oinstall. But I did not do that.
Why /u01/app? The default oracle filestructure is *filemount*/app/oracle/product/*version_number*/*oracle_product*. So it turns out handy to have the path started with /app.
Check the following list of packages and install the ones you don't have. Although you might have choosen extra packages (like me), you probably miss some of them. Most of them you can find on disk 2 of the OEL disk set. But the Sysstat and UnixODBC-devel rpms are on disk 3.
you can force that the parameters are applied to the running system.
In the VMWare Server Console, under virtual machine settings, add a hardisk of 3 GB (that should be enough, since it will be added to the existing swap) preallocated and not splitted (we delete it afterwards).
As root issue the command "fdisk -l" to determine the added disk (in my case: /dev/sdc, the last one with no partitiontable and was 3GB in size).
Then run fdisk for the new volume: "fdisk /dev/sdc"
In fdisk, add a partition by choosing command n, partition p (primary), partition number 1, using defaults for fist and last cilinder.
Choose command w to write to the partition table. The fdisk tool will quit.
Create swap by issuing the command "mkswap /dev/sdc"
Enable the swap by issuing the command "swapon /dev/sdc"
Run the installer from the install disk with ./runInstaller. In the installer I choose the advanced install, since I want to have a general purpose database using an AL32UTF8 character set. For my convenience I use 'welcome1' for every password (sys, system, etc.) but you're of course free to use a more secure one.
Afterwards you could edit your /etc/fstab to remove the added swap disk and then bring down your VM to remove the disk in the VM settings.
Now my first 11g Database under Oracle Enterprise Linux 5 is running.

KEXINO Marketing Blog Are Your Salespeople Selling? Or Are They Begging?
Are Your Salespeople Selling? Or Are They Begging?
Are your salespeople selling, or begging?
By that, I'm not asking you if your sales team are hitting their sales targets. What I mean is do your salespeople actually 'sell', or are they simply asking their prospects whether they are interested in buying?
On the (thankfully rare) occasions when I have no choice but to visit a fast food restaurant, I tell the person behind the counter what I want, and he or she takes my order. A minute or so later they've given me my food, I've paid them, and I'm on my way.
Look at that situation again. Would you consider what the fast food employee did to be 'selling'?
Clearly it's not. I guess you'd agree with me that what the fast food establishment's employee did was simply take my order and fulfil it.
Are You Selling To Me, Or Just Taking My Order?
Now imagine the same situation. This time when I give my order, I'm asked if I want large fries instead of regular for only an additional fifty cents. Or if I wanted a 'menu' special that included a large drink AND large fries for a dollar extra.
Is that selling? Again, I'm guessing that most people would say it's not.
OK, final example. Supposing that I'm in a restaurant and my waitress recommends a choice of accompanying wines based upon what I've ordered as a main course. Or suggests a light refreshing sorbet for dessert because she noticed that I didn't want dressing on my salad or a cream-based sauce on my chicken.
Is that selling? Yes, I'd say that absolutely was.
Really? THAT's the best you've got?
If your sales pitch is simply to ask "Do you want to buy this?", I'll bet that you're used to disappointments. If your entire sales strategy is to go visit a customer, drink their coffee, show them a worn-out, dog-earned product catalog and then ask them if they want to buy, you're a disgrace.
You're the reason why customers HATE salespeople. You're the reason why the sales professionals who do actually give a stuff have an uphill battle on their hands to win over potential customers who've been subjected to your pitiful excuse of a sales call.
If you're doing little more than simply asking people to buy, then you're not selling: You're begging.
You're not interested in helping your customer. You couldn't give a stuff about actually taking the time to learn about their issues, and understanding their concerns. You couldn't give two hoots about solving their problem, in making their lives easier. You're only interested in trying to close a sale.
You're lazy, disinterested, and self-serving. And it shows.
I read this article on the KEXINO website and thought it might be something for you. The article is called Are Your Salespeople Selling? Or Are They Begging? and can be found at https://kexino.com/business/sales/are-your-salespeople-selling/.


William Snyder/TrinifoldIn a new update on The Who.com, The Who's Pete Townshend discusses the progress the band is making on its upcoming album, and also shares details about a press day that he and Roger Daltrey took part in Wednesday to promote the group's July 6 concert at London's Wembley Stadium.
In a video blog accompanying the post, which was recorded Wednesday, Townshend reports that by the end of the day Monday, at least 10 or 12 backing tracks had been completed that were "sounding really, really great." However, a text bar at the bottom of the clip notes that Pete may be exaggerating about that number of tracks, which might actually be as low as five.
Townshend also notes that Daltrey has "started doing what he calls 'sketch vocals,' and he sent me one for one song that sounds really terrific." Pete adds that Roger will return to the studio on Monday with his producer, Dave Eringa, who also worked on Daltrey's 2018 album, As Long as I Have You.
In addition, he says The Who will be "back in the studio again in April to finish the album off," and also notes that he's very excited about the band's upcoming North American orchestral tour.
The video also features footage of Townshend visiting Wembley Stadium for their press junket promoting the June 6 show, which will feature special guest Eddie Vedder. The post includes new photos of Pete and Roger at the venue posing with a Who-themed Scomadi scooter.

Obama's Legacy and the Iran Nuclear Agreement - Gary C. Gambill
by Gary C. Gambill
Obama says he has "never been more certain about a policy decision than this one," but he also thought overthrowing Qaddafi would be a hoot and look how that turned out. Clearly he's not omniscient.
Originally published under the title, "Obama's Legacy-Making Agreement"
U.S. President Barack Obama's choice of American University, where John F. Kennedy gave a famous 1963 speech calling for peace and nuclear disarmament, to deliver his most impassioned defence of the recently signed Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) earlier this month was no accident. In seeking to convince Congress and the American people that the JCPOA adequately defuses the Iranian nuclear threat, the White House and its supporters have been routinely referring to the agreement as the cornerstone of his foreign policy legacy.
This messaging is partly intended as a signal of resolve to fence-sitting Democrats, who might think twice about opposing the signature foreign policy initiative of a president from their own party. But there is a deeper message implicit in the endless repetition of this talking point — that Obama wouldn't be foolish enough to double down on the JCPOA if what the critics are saying about it is true. "Look, 20 years from now, I'm still going to be around, God willing," the president told The Atlantic in May. "If Iran has a nuclear weapon, it's my name on this."
This argument, which National Review opinion editor Patrick Brennan paraphrases as, "Settle on a deal that would ruin my foreign policy legacy? But I want to have a good legacy!" is not without logic. Obama's a smart guy, with the entire U.S. intelligence apparatus at his disposal. If he's willing to bet his own farm on the JCPOA, it can't be that bad, can it?
Legacy-making and the defence of U.S. national interests are two different things.
Unfortunately, yes. If smarts, knowledge and the desire to be judged favourably by history guaranteed foreign policy success, presidents would seldom make mistakes. Obama says he has "never been more certain about a policy decision than this one," but he also thought overthrowing Qaddafi would be a hoot and look how that turned out. Clearly he's not omniscient.
But the larger problem with the my-name-on-it argument is that legacy-making and the defence of U.S. national interests are two different things. Good policy decisions don't always highlight White House leadership in ways that can fill a wing of a presidential library. Whatever the merits of Obama's handling of the Russia-Ukraine crisis, presidential historians don't rave about preventing a bad situation from getting worse.
Moreover, a favourable legacy doesn't always require the clear-cut advancement of U.S. national interests in the here and now. Legacy-making concerns how one's actions will be perceived by future generations who have little sense of the context and details. Whereas elected officials ordinarily strive to be responsive to the interests and preferences of constituents, a legacy-seeking president seeks vindication in the political hereafter.
Good policy doesn't always highlight White House leadership in ways that can fill a wing of a presidential library.
This is a slippery slope for a progressive like Obama, who surely assumes that future generations will be more sympathetic to his worldview than his contemporaries. He may therefore reason that a charitable judgment can best be ensured by staying true to himself, as it were, even if it entails serious security risks, all the more so because his administration has deviated from these presumed future norms in other areas (e.g., drone strikes).
This may have given Obama reason to prefer a deeply flawed agreement that embodies his worldview over walking away from the table with nothing at all. Failed negotiations — or a continued succession of interim agreements that hands the ball to his successor — don't interest Steven Spielberg. At a time when prospects of an unvarnished domestic policy triumph have dimmed, and after his ambitious effort to jump-start Israeli-Palestinian talks went nowhere, the Iran negotiations were his last chance to do something big.
Whatever his reasons, Obama's approach has been to extract as many concessions from Iran as possible before he leaves office, but not leave the table without an agreement. Unfortunately, the Iranians correctly ascertained that he could not afford to take no for an answer, and that standing firm on unreasonable demands would bring American flexibility. The end result is that an "international effort, buttressed by six UN resolutions, to deny Iran the capability to develop a military nuclear option," former secretary of state Henry Kissinger explained in congressional testimony early this year, soon became "an essentially bilateral negotiation over the scope of that capability," with the scope of capability acceptable to the administration widening dramatically as the negotiations wore on.
Congress and the American people should give the Obama administration a fair hearing and evaluate the JCPOA on its merits, but pay no attention to the president's expressions of boundless confidence in the agreement. It's a good bet even he never imagined he'd have to settle for such a crappy deal.

Angelina Grimké Weld's speech at Pennsylvania Hall
Men, brethren and fathers -- mothers, daughters and sisters, what came ye out for to see? A reed shaken with the wind? Is it curiosity merely, or a deep sympathy with the perishing slave, that has brought this large audience together? [A yell from the mob without the building.] Those voices without ought to awaken and call out our warmest sympathies. Deluded beings! "they know not what they do." They know not that they are undermining their own rights and their own happiness, temporal and eternal. Do you ask, "what has the North to do with slavery?" Hear it -- hear it. Those voices without tell us that the spirit of slavery is here, and has been roused to wrath by our abolition speeches and conventions: for surely liberty would not foam and tear herself with rage, because her friends are multiplied daily, and meetings are held in quick succession to set forth her virtues and extend her peaceful kingdom. This opposition shows that slavery has done its deadliest work in the hearts of our citizens. Do you ask, then, "what has the North to do?" I answer, cast out first the spirit of slavery from your own hearts, and then lend your aid to convert the South. Each one present has a work to do, be his or her situation what it may, however limited their means, or insignificant their supposed influence. The great men of this country will not do this work; the church will never do it. A desire to please the world, to keep the favor of all parties and of all conditions, makes them dumb on this and every other unpopular subject. They have become worldly-wise, and therefore God, in his wisdom, employs them not to carry on his plans of reformation and salvation. He hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise, and the weak to overcome the mighty.
As a Southerner I feel tbrt it is my duty to stand up here to-night and bear testimony against slavery. I have seen it -- I have seen it. I know it has horrors that can never be described. I was brought up under its wing: I witnessed for many years its demoralizing influences, and its destructiveness to human happiness. It is admitted by some that the slave is not happy under the worst forms of slavery. But I have never seen a happy slave. I have seen him dance in his chains, it is true; but he was not happy. There is a wide difference between happiness and mirth. Man cannot enjoy the former while his manhood is destroyed, and that part of the being which is necessary to the making, and to the enjoyment of happiness, is completely blotted out. The slaves, however, may be, and sometimes are, mirthful. When hope is extinguished, they say, "let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we die." [Just then stones were thrown at the windows, -- a great noise without, and commotion within.] What is a mob? What would the breaking of every window be? What would the levelling of this Hall be? Any evidence that we are wrong, or that slavery is a good and wholesome institution ? What if the mob should now burst in upon us, break up our meeting and commit violence upon our persons -- would this be any thing compared with what the slaves endure? No, no: and we do not remember them "as bound with them," if we shrink in the time of peril, or feel unwilling to sacrifice ourselves, if need be, for their sake. [Great noise.] I thank the Lord that there is yet life left enough to feel the truth, even though it rages at it -- that conscience is not so completely seared as to be unmoved by the truth of the living God.
Many persons go to the South for a season, and are hospitably entertained in the parlor and at the table of the slave-holder. They never enter the huts of the slaves; they know nothing of the dark side of the picture, and they return home with praises on their lips of the generous character of those with whom they had tarried. Or if they have witnessed the cruelties of slavery, by remaining silent spectators they have naturally become callous -- an insensibility has ensued which prepares them to apologize even for barbarity. Nothing but the corrupting influence of slavery on the hearts of the Northern people can induce them to apologize for it; and much will have been done for the destruction of Southern slavery when we have so reformed the North that no one here will be willing to risk his reputation by advocating or even excusing the holding of men as property. The South know it, and acknowledge that as fast as our principles prevail, the hold of the master must be relaxed. [Another outbreak of mobocratic spirit, and some confusion in the house.]
How wonderfully constituted is the human mind! How it resists, as long as it can, all efforts made to reclaim from error! I feel that all this disturbance is but an evidence that our efforts are the best that could have been adopted, or else the friends of slavery would not care for what we say and do. The South know what we do. I am thankful that they are reached by our efforts. Many times have I wept in the land of my birth, over the system of slavery. I knew of none who sympathized in my feelings -- I was unaware that any efforts were made to deliver the oppressed -- no voice in the wilderness was heard calling on the people to repent and do works meet for repentance -- and my heart sickened within me. Oh, how should I have rejoiced to know that such efforts as these were being made. I only wonder that I had such feelings. I wonder when I reflect under what influence I was brought up that my heart is not harder than the nether millstone. But in the midst of temptation I was preserved, and my sympathy grew warmer, and my hatred of slavery more inveterate, until at last I have exiled myself from my native land because I could no longer endure to hear the wailing of the slave. I fled to the land of Penn; for here, thought I, sympathy for the slave will surely be found. But I found it not. The people were kind and hospitable, but the slave had no place in their thoughts. Whenever questions were put to me as to his condition, I felt that they were dictated by an idle curiosity, rather than by that deep feeling which would lead to effort for his rescue. I therefore shut up my grief in my own heart. I remembered that I was a Carolinian, from a state which framed this iniquity by law. I knew that throughout her territory was continual suffering, on the one part, and continual brutality and sin on the other. Every Southern breeze wafted to me the discordant tones of weeping and wailing, shrieks and groans, mingled with prayers and blasphemous curses. I thought there was no hope; that the wicked would go on in his wickedness, until he had destroyed both himself and his country. My heart sunk within me at the abominations in the midst of which I had been born and educated. What will it avail, cried I in bitterness of spirit, to expose to the gaze of strangers the horrors and pollutions of slavery, when there is no ear to hear nor heart to feel and pray for the slave. The language of my soul was, "Oh tell it not in Gath, publish it not in the streets of Askelon." But how different do I feel now! Animated with hope, nay, with an assurance of the triumph of liberty and good will to man, I will lift up my voice like a trumpet, and show this people their transgression, their sins of omission towards the slave, and what they can do towards affecting Southern mind, and overthrowing Southern oppression.
We may talk of occupying neutral ground, but on this subject, in its present attitude, there is no such thing as neutral ground. He that is not for us is against us, and he that gathereth not with us, scattereth abroad. If you are on what you suppose to be neutral ground, the South look upon you as on the side of the oppressor. And is there one who loves his country willing to give his influence, even indirectly, in favor of slavery -- that curse of nations ? God swept Egypt with the besom of destruction, and punished Judea also with a sore punishment, because of slavery. And have we any reason to believe that he is less just now? -- or that he will be more favorable to us than to his own "peculiar people?" [Shoutings, stones thrown against the windows, &c.]
There is nothing to be feared from those who would stop our mouths, but they themselves should fear and tremble. The current is even now setting fast against them. If the arm of the North had not caused the Bastile of slavery to totter to its foundation, you would not hear those cries. A few years ago, and the South felt secure, and with a contemptuous sneer asked, "Who are the abolitionists? The abolitionists are nothing?" -- Ay, in one sense they were nothing, and they are nothing still. But in this we rejoice, that "God has chosen things that are not to bring to nought things that are." [Mob again disturbed the meeting.]
We often hear the question asked , What shall we do?" Here is an opportunity for doing something now. Every man and every woman present may do soinething by showing that we fear not a mob, and, in the midst of threatenings and revilings, by opening our mouths for the dumb and pleading the cause of those who are ready to perish.
To work as we should in this cause, we must know what Slavery is. Let me urge you then to buy the books which have been written on this subject and read them, and then lend them to your neighbors. Give your money no longer for things which pander to pride and lust, but aid in scattering "the living coals of truth" upon the naked heart of this nation, -- in circulating appeals to the sympathies of Christians in behalf of the outraged and suffering slave. But, it is said by some, our "books and papers do not speak the truth." Why, then, do they not contradict what we say? They cannot. Moreover the South has entreated, nay commanded us to be silent; and what greater evidence of the truth of our publications could be desired?
Women of Philadelphia! allow me as a Southern woman, with much attachment to the land of my birth, to entreat you to come up to this work. Especially let me urge you to petition. Men may settle this and other questions at the ballot-box, but you have no such right; it is only through petitions that you can reach the Legislature. It is therefore peculiarly your duty to petition. Do you say, "It does no good?" The South already turns pale at the number sent. They have read the reports of the proceedings of Congress, and there have seen that among other petitions were very many from the women of the North on the subject of slavery. This fact has called the attention of the South to the subject. How could we expect to have done more as yet? Men who hold the rod over slaves, rule in the councils of the nation: and they deny our right to petition and to remonstrate against abuses of our sex and of our kind. We have these rights, however, from our God. Only let us exercise them: and though often turned away unanswered, let us remember the influence of importunity upon the unjust judge, and act accordingly. The fact that the South look with jealousy upon our measures shows that they are effectual. There is, therefore, no cause for doubting or despair, but rather for rejoicing.
It was remarked in England that women did much to abolish Slavery in her colonies. Nor are they now idle. Numerous petitions from them have recently been presented to the Queen, to abolish the apprenticeship with its cruelties nearly equal to those of the system whose place it supplies. One petition two miles and a quarter long has been presented. And do you think these labors will be in vain ? Let the history of the past answer. When the women of these States send up to Congress such a petition, our legislators will arise as did those of England, and say, "When all the maids and matrons of the land are knocking at our doors we must legislate." Let the zeal and love, the faith and works of our English sisters quicken ours -- that while the slaves continue to suffer, and when they shout deliverance, we may feel the satisfaction of having done what we could.

When Bobbie McCombs and Starla Hoke approached us needing an identity for their new business, we were happy to help. Through discussions with them regarding their business plans, the image they want to project to the public, and an extensive review of the look of other real estate businesses both local and national, we developed a stylistic logo that sets them apart from their competition.
Since their business will be receiving a lot of exposure through For Sale signs on properties, we also designed a stand-out yard sign that s clean, looks classy and grabs attention.
Design of business cards, letterhead, envelopes, notecards rounded out the corporate identity.

Q: Perl CSV to Hash of Arrays natively I'm trying to build an associative array from a csv file that stores only unique keys. All without using extra features like Text::CSV
An example text file:
emp1,dept1,1090
emp2,dept2,8920
emp3,dept1,3213
emp3,dept2,3234

I would like the data to be organized by dept to look like
$hash = {
dept=>[dept1, dept2, dept3]
}

and within each dept to have its respective emp and ids
So far, I have tried
my %hash;
    while (<$fh>){
        my @data = split(/,/, $fh);
        push @{$hash{$_}}, shift @data
            for qw(emp dept id);
    }

However, this does not seem to fill the arrays properly and instead just initializes the arrays with no data in them. I've looked all over for examples of how to do this but my searches always contain people mentioning Text::CSV

A: Your first problem is the with this line
my @data = split(/,/, $fh);

You are splitting of the filehandle, not the data returned from the while statement. That is stored in $_
Below is you code changes to fix the split line. I'm also using the inline DATA filehandle to make it easier on myself. Finally, I've added a call to Data::Dumper to see what is getting stored into the hash.
use Data::Dumper ;
my %hash;
    while (<DATA>){
        my @data = split(/,/, $_);
        push @{$hash{$_}}, shift @data
            for qw(emp dept id);
    }

print "Hash is " . Dumper(\%hash);
__DATA__
emp1,dept1,1090
emp2,dept2,8920
emp3,dept1,3213
emp3,dept2,3234

Running that gives this, which shows the second issue -- you are including a newline in the id column
Hash is $VAR1 = {
          'dept' => [
                      'dept1',
                      'dept2',
                      'dept1',
                      'dept2'
                    ],
          'emp' => [
                     'emp1',
                     'emp2',
                     'emp3',
                     'emp3'
                   ],
          'id' => [
                    '1090
',
                    '8920
',
                    '3213
',
                    '3234
'
                  ]
        };

Fix that with a call to chomp before the split line
use Data::Dumper ;
my %hash;
    while (<DATA>){
        chomp;
        my @data = split(/,/, $_);
        push @{$hash{$_}}, shift @data
            for qw(emp dept id);
    }

print "Hash is " . Dumper(\%hash);
__DATA__
emp1,dept1,1090
emp2,dept2,8920
emp3,dept1,3213
emp3,dept2,3234

output is now
Hash is $VAR1 = {
          'id' => [
                    '1090',
                    '8920',
                    '3213',
                    '3234'
                  ],
          'emp' => [
                     'emp1',
                     'emp2',
                     'emp3',
                     'emp3'
                   ],
          'dept' => [
                      'dept1',
                      'dept2',
                      'dept1',
                      'dept2'
                    ]
        };

That looks better, but you have duplicates in the hash. To deal with that, I'm going to store the data read from the CSV as a hash-of-hashes. That will get rid of the duplicates

my %hash;
my @cols = qw( emp dept id);

while (<DATA>)
{
    chomp $_;
    my @data = split /,/, $_ ;

    for my $i (0 .. @cols-1)
    {
        # Store as a hash of hashes
        $hash{ $cols[$i] }{ $data[$i] } ++;
    }
}

print "Hash is " . Dumper(\%hash);

That looks better - the duplicates are removed
Hash is $VAR1 = {
          'dept' => {
                      'dept2' => 2,
                      'dept1' => 2
                    },
          'emp' => {
                     'emp3' => 2,
                     'emp2' => 1,
                     'emp1' => 1
                   },
          'id' => {
                    '3213' => 1,
                    '8920' => 1,
                    '1090' => 1,
                    '3234' => 1
                  }
        };

Your requirement was to has a hash of arrays, so add a final step to dump the hash-of-hashes into the format you require
my %result;
for my $col (keys %hash)
{
    push @{ $result{$col} }, sort keys %{ $hash{$col} } ;
}

print "Hash is " . Dumper(\%result);

That outputs this
Hash is $VAR1 = {
          'dept' => [
                      'dept1',
                      'dept2'
                    ],
          'emp' => [
                     'emp1',
                     'emp2',
                     'emp3'
                   ],
          'id' => [
                    '1090',
                    '3213',
                    '3234',
                    '8920'
                  ]
        };

Freds- og konfliktteori
Galtung udviklede begrebet strukturel vold samt teorier om imperialisme og om, hvordan nyheder udvælges i massemedierne. Hans arbejde bygger på en analyse af forskellige kulturers værdisystemer og er ofte kritisk mod de vestlige samfund.

Galtung definerer fred som det modsatte af vold, ikke det modsatte af krig, og siger bl.a. "at arbejde for fred er at udvide spektrummet for de ikke-voldelige muligheder". Han har deltaget som konfliktmægler i mere end 40 konflikter over hele verden, såsom Sri Lanka, Afghanistan, og Ecuador.

Konfliktløsning beskriver han som to drenges kamp om en appelsin. Johan Galtung hævder, at der kan opstilles fem løsninger på konflikten:
 Den ene dreng får appelsinen, den anden bliver vred og pønser på hævn
 Den anden dreng får appelsinen, den første dreng bliver vred og pønser på hævn.
 Den kedelige, diplomatiske løsning: hver dreng får en halv appelsin, hver dreng bliver kun delvist tilfreds
 Appelsinen bliver smidt væk og ingen får noget
 Drengene presser appelsinen, deler saften, sår kernerne i en ny fælles appelsinlund, og nyder frugterne og lunden i fællesskab fremover.

Som det fremgår, fremhæver Galtung den sidste løsning som den ideelle og tilføjer, at løsningen for at kunne bære skal vokse ud af "drengene" selv, samt at begge parter må give afkald på noget for at få mere til fælles deling. Han brugte denne løsning med succes i Mellemamerika hvor Ecuador Og Peru havde ligget i krig fire gange over 500 kvadratkilometer territorie. Via konfliktmægling nåede parterne frem til at danne et fælles naturreservat og gøre området binationalt.

The type of humidifier you choose solely depends on the size of the area you wish to humidify, budget and preference. Luckily, having a humidifier in your house can solve this problem. Evaporation humidifiers use a fan to blow air through a saturated filter.
