If you are about to write a proposal for a research paper, note that you should not only tailor it to the chosen topic or the requirements of the academic facility, but also to the expectations of the professor or the committee who will review it.
It may seem hard or even impossible, however, you are not the first person submitting a proposal, and it is not that hard to find the people who did it before you. Once you do, ask them what the professor or the committee pay attention to the most. The reviewer may focus more on such aspects as the structure or the formatting style, or pay a lot more attention to the topic itself. Take such kind of information into account to understand how to write a research proposal that is destined to be approved.
Do not forget that no matter how interesting your topic is or how thorough is the study conducted, no one will ever approve your proposal if it is not structured properly. While it may seem unfair, it is better not to play with fire, and make sure to organize the paper according to all necessary instructions.
First of all, it is crucial to prepare the title page and suit it to the requirements of the chosen formatting style. Afterward, you may have to include the abstract. Your professor is the one to ask about the applicability of the abstract for the final paper in case you are not sure about it.
One of the most important parts you will have to work on is the introduction. It goes right after the abstract and includes the general background info necessary for the justification of the topic choice and the comprehension of the study. As for most of the works, the intro should end with the thesis that has to present the problem you are researching and your main goals for the study you will be conducting.
The literature review is another must-have in the proposal for research paper. Make sure to diversify the choice of sources — do not focus solely on primary or secondary ones. Also, do not forget to state why you have or have not chosen specific sources. A few other sections to include are the methodology and the conclusions. It is impossible to conduct a thorough paper without using a sample research proposal.
It will greatly help you to shape your research and give its readers the best impression. We hope, that with the help of this data you will be able to interest the reader and be able to create a deep and thoughtful research paper.

"Your product should be a reflection of your heart. Over time, I've learned that mimicking someone's skill or product is not going to make me a creative."
It's the heart, not the problem.
Sometimes we need things repeated to sink in and I kept coming back to the thought of the heart itself. It's the heart, not the problems that surround. And so I began writing from that perspective.
"Matt always told me that great things come from small beginnings. In this case, we were starting small. Knowing myself, I can be a little bit of a perfectionist. I did not know where to start with creating an album graphic, but I went with it."

NEW YORK -- The Obama administration will seek to lift the U.S. ban on imported products from Myanmar, Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton announced Wednesday at the beginning of a meeting with Myanmar President Thein Sein.
The step would wipe out the biggest remaining economic restrictions the U.S. maintains on the changing country, the latest in a series of incremental moves the U.S. has taken to reward Myanmar.
"In recognition of the continued progress toward reform and in response to requests from both the government and the opposition, the United States is taking the next step in normalizing our commercial relationship," Clinton said.
There were no immediate details about how or when the restrictions would be lifted. Although Congress renewed the import ban in August, it also allowed for President Obama to waive the restrictions.
A senior administration official told reporters that the White House would consult Congress on how to lift the ban, including whether to end restrictions for all products at once or lift bans on categories one by one. Trade between the U.S. and Myanmar was not especially high in dollar value, the official said, and included hardwoods, gems and textiles.
As Myanmar has taken steps toward reform, freeing hundreds of political prisoners and allowing opposition candidates such as democracy icon Aung San Suu Kyi to stand for election, the U.S. has loosened its restrictions on the long-isolated nation, easing most economic sanctions and opening up investment.
The long-standing ban on products made in Myanmar, first put in place nine years ago, dealt a major blow to the Myanmar garment industry, which once sent nearly half of its products to the U.S. More than 100 garment factories were shuttered and at least 50,000 jobs lost, the State Department reported in 2004.
Suu Kyi had urged the U.S. to drop the ban, one in a host of sanctions she had once supported, saying her country should no longer depend on such pressure to maintain its momentum toward democracy. Experts said her supportive statements, made before Thein Sein visited this week, paved the way for the sensitive move.
"It's a little weird to support sanctions when the people you were supposedly supporting," Suu Kyi and others in the democracy movement, "don't support them anymore," said Joshua Kurlantzick, a Southeast Asia fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations.
But other activists and ethnic minorities at odds with the government and have been loath to lose the leverage over Myanmar, which still faces serious obstacles on its road to reform.
The military has been accused by human rights groups of grave abuses against minorities. Suu Kyi has said hundreds of political prisoners remain behind bars. Ethnic violence has ravaged some parts of the country, an unresolved issue. And although Suu Kyi now holds elected office, many analysts are waiting to see what happens in three years, when bigger elections will put control of parliament up for grabs.
Clinton emphasized that Myanmar still needs to undertake many additional reforms, including releasing political prisoners and reaching peace agreements with minority groups, the senior administration official said.
Besides the import ban, the U.S. still restricts visas and bank transactions for Myanmar's generals and others implicated in human rights abuses. But Quigley argued the restrictions don't cover everyone they should and are easily sidestepped.
As the country opens up to investment and trade, it has attracted interest because of its rich natural resources and strategic location. The Asian Development Bank estimates the Myanmar economy could expand more than 7% annually for a decade or more if reforms continue. Companies such as Coca-Cola and PepsiCo have announced their intention to return.

Last month Locutus wrote an article on Mousepath, an entertaining Java-based application that tracks and records your mouse strokes. Since that time, Mousepath has gained quite a bit of attention – much of which, I have no doubt, is thanks to dotTech considering how popular the Mousepath article has become – and the developers of Mousepath have decided Mousepath is a application worthy of further development. So, Mousepath has officially been renamed to IOGraph and has entered full development, as opposed to being a simple trick posted on a Flickr page.
Making the program more user friendly with buttons to start, stop, and restart the recordings.
A new embedded timer/clock that tells you how long your current recording has been going on for and during what time interval it occurred.
IOGraph is still based in Java, so you still need Java installed to use IOGraph. Similarly, IOGraph is still portable (no installation necessary) and is available on Windows and Mac OS but it now also supports Linux.


NEW YORK, September 15, 2003 – Exanet, the developer of the world's first universal, highly automated Scalable Storage Cluster System, ExaStore, today announced that it has formed its Digital Media Division and named industry veteran Melvin A. Ettinger division President. The new Digital Media Division will focus on marketing and selling its ExaStore storage systems to the digital media industry. "The digital media industry represents one of the fastest growing markets for information storage. The graphic arts segment alone has more than one million employees, with over $156 billion in sales, and their need for digital storage capacity is exploding. Coupled with high digital content, segments such as magazine, newspaper and catalog publishing, as well as ad agencies and production companies, the overall need for storage in the digital media industry is enormous. The large data storage requirements have created a need for lower cost of ownership solutions featuring greater automation, scalability and flexibility. ExaStore is a perfect solution to meet these needs," stated Dr. Giora Yaron, CEO and Chairman of Exanet. Companies within the digital media industry that would benefit from Exanet storage systems include printers, publishers, pre-media companies, advertising agencies, post production video companies, and all companies that have large amounts of digital content to manage. Melvin A. Ettinger has been tapped to spearhead the sales and marketing effort to the digital media industry. Ettinger has been working with Exanet on a consultancy basis for the past 2½ years and is now joining Exanet as the President of its Digital Media Division. Ettinger, a long time industry veteran, has an impressive resume that includes positions as Vice Chairman and COO of Applied Graphics Technologies, Inc.; President and CEO of Xerox Graphic Systems; CEO of Polychrome Corporation (now known as Kodak Polychrome Graphics); and President and CEO of Crosfield Electronics and DuPont Imaging Systems. "Mel has the experience and relationships in this market segment and is therefore the perfect senior executive to drive this business. We're confident that he will quickly establish Exanet's unique capabilities to the demanding needs of the digital media industry," stated Dr. Yaron.

You may be aware that the Department of Health's private health insurance reforms for natural therapies will take effect from 1 April 2019. This means private health insurance rebates will no longer be available for a number of natural therapies. Physiotherapists will be the only practitioners who will be eligible to deliver exercises drawn from Pilates within their scope of practice and be eligible for Private Health Insurance rebates.
You are still covered for classes at CHPR when they are conducted by a qualified physiotherapist and you can still claim on your Private Health Insurance as usual.
If you previously claimed private health insurance extras for Pilates classes, you will still be eligible to make a claim for services provided by Physiotherapists at CHPR and nothing will change in that regard.
The new rules mean that some wording has to change on receipts and how our classes are described online in MBO and our website, these will now be referred to as Clinical Exercise Classes. The new rules also make it mandatory for you to have your program reviewed regularly by your physiotherapist. It is essential that you make an individual appointment to have your personal program and goals reviewed at least once every 12 months or sooner as guided by your physio. It is also essential that initial individual assessments are done and programs are designed and taught thoroughly before joining a class or rejoining after a long break or for a new problem.
Not all Private Health Insurers are adopting all the new rules. The reforms can be confusing, and we hope this helps explain the changes and how they may affect you. If you have any further questions, please don't hesitate to ask us at CHPR.

We have been teaching about Endometriosis and Physiotherapy, Gastroenterology Conditions, Sexual pain and Pain education !
Our staff have been busy sharing their knowledge and expertise with Doctors and other Physios.
Issy has been busy presenting on two different topics this month!
Issy was asked to present to a support group of women who suffer with Endometriosis at the Epworth Hospital in East Melbourne. Issy presented on how physiotherapy can help women with pelvic pain and endometriosis. This common and debilitating illness is something our women's health team sees frequently. They are able to help women with pain and bladder and bowel dysfunction.
The presentation went really well with many women asking questions on how they could be helped by physiotherapy. They were all amazed to hear of the self-help strategies that they could use at home with some simple steps. It was also pleasing to see so many of them came with a friend or partner to assist in managing their condition.
In that same week Issy presented her knowledge of gut focused treatment to a large group of GPs as part of their continuing education. She discussed some case studies of patients with constipation and incontinence and was able to inform the GPs of how they could manage their patients better.
There was lots of interest from the group not only on irritable bowel syndrome but also male pelvic pain and female sexual pain. The group was most interested by how physiotherapists can teach patients to regulate their bowel and be more in-control of their own health. It was exciting to see so many GPs (about 70) come out for this event, which was run by St Vincent's Private Hospital.
Issy and Jen have also just tutored on a course on Female sexual pain for Physiotherapists and Brendon has just run 3 busy days in Bendigo teaching Health Professionals about Graded Motor Imagery and Explain Pain.
We are always striving to share our knowledge and continue our own learning.
If you have a endometriosis related pain, bladder, bowel or sexual dysfunction, consider coming in to see one of our experienced pelvic health physiotherapists who are able to sensitively navigate a management plan or chat with your GP, help is available.


I used to make great dinners and desserts at home, before kids and definitely before the restaurant. Now I am working in more meals at home and I am starting simple with crock pot recipes.
I can put one on, head to work and when we come home, dinner is done! You can do the same whether it's sports practices and games or piano lessons.
I love that my crock pot has a timer and when it's completed it's 'time' it turns to warm so I don't have to rush home. My new crock pot (thank you honey!) also has a thermometer probe so I tell it at what temp I want the meat to cook to and then it turns itself to warm. I have found these two features VERY helpful! I hope you find something that can be helpful to you too.
And oh, find yourself some crock pot liners, SO worth the money! I get mine at Wal-mart (with the other bags/plastic wrap/cooking bags, etc.) for $2.00 for four. Enjoy!

Muhammad Ali: Black Action Hero
June 5, 2016 / Jeff Winbush
Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they've been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It's an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary.
Impossible is nothing.
~Muhammad Ali
President Barack Obama's remarks on the passing of Muhammad Ali:
Muhammad Ali was The Greatest. Period. If you just asked him, he'd tell you. He'd tell you he was the double greatest; that he'd "handcuffed lightning, thrown thunder into jail."
But what made The Champ the greatest — what truly separated him from everyone else — is that everyone else would tell you pretty much the same thing.
Like everyone else on the planet, Michelle and I mourn his passing. But we're also grateful to God for how fortunate we are to have known him, if just for a while; for how fortunate we all are that The Greatest chose to grace our time.
In my private study, just off the Oval Office, I keep a pair of his gloves on display, just under that iconic photograph of him — the young champ, just 22 years old, roaring like a lion over a fallen Sonny Liston. I was too young when it was taken to understand who he was — still Cassius Clay, already an Olympic Gold Medal winner, yet to set out on a spiritual journey that would lead him to his Muslim faith, exile him at the peak of his power, and set the stage for his return to greatness with a name as familiar to the downtrodden in the slums of Southeast Asia and the villages of Africa as it was to cheering crowds in Madison Square Garden.
"I am America," he once declared. "I am the part you won't recognize. But get used to me — black, confident, cocky; my name, not yours; my religion, not yours; my goals, my own. Get used to me."
That's the Ali I came to know as I came of age — not just as skilled a poet on the mic as he was a fighter in the ring, but a man who fought for what was right. A man who fought for us. He stood with King and Mandela; stood up when it was hard; spoke out when others wouldn't. His fight outside the ring would cost him his title and his public standing. It would earn him enemies on the left and the right, make him reviled, and nearly send him to jail. But Ali stood his ground. And his victory helped us get used to the America we recognize today.
He wasn't perfect, of course. For all his magic in the ring, he could be careless with his words, and full of contradictions as his faith evolved. But his wonderful, infectious, even innocent spirit ultimately won him more fans than foes — maybe because in him, we hoped to see something of ourselves. Later, as his physical powers ebbed, he became an even more powerful force for peace and reconciliation around the world. We saw a man who said he was so mean he'd make medicine sick reveal a soft spot, visiting children with illness and disability around the world, telling them they, too, could become the greatest. We watched a hero light a torch, and fight his greatest fight of all on the world stage once again; a battle against the disease that ravaged his body, but couldn't take the spark from his eyes.
Muhammad Ali shook up the world. And the world is better for it. We are all better for it. Michelle and I send our deepest condolences to his family, and we pray that the greatest fighter of them all finally rests in peace.
RIP to The Greatest.
Perhaps there's a way to honor Muhammad Ali in his passing without mentioning how he wasn't just The Greatest, but America's most famous conscientious objector, America's most famous Muslim, and a transitory figure of social justice and Black pride. Don't sleep on that last point. Ali was an American success story, but he was a Black super hero first and long before one showed up in the comic books.
Obama not only knows that, he celebrated Ali's undisputed Blackness.
Not to put too fine a point on it, but losing Ali is so much more than losing another great athlete, a great humanitarian and activist and the G.O.A.T. For any conscious Black person, losing Ali is losing a hero, a role model, a symbol of Black power, pride, potential and principle. Ali was all that and at one time he was literally the most famous man on the planet and was recognized wherever he went in the world.
The important thing now is to not let The Greatest be neutered into some sort of cartoon character who beat guys up and said outrageous things. Ali was Black Power Personified. Controlled anger with a dangerous edge. Sex, swagger, and style. Ali didn't just talk it, he walked it. Ali was our Black James Bond: men wanted to be like him and women wanted him. I should know and I'm not a woman.
If someone wants to say, "Ali was the Greatest," that's fine. If someone wants to go deeper and say "Ali was a hero and here's why" that is also fine. Haters should step off.
That was always the difference between Muhammad Ali and the rest of us. He came, he saw, and if he didn't entirely conquer – he came as close as anybody we are likely to see in the lifetime of this doomed generation.
~ Hunter S. Thompson
Don't believe the hype: They love Ali now but they hated Ali then.

Reblogged this on The Practical Vegetarian Weblog and commented:
Muhammad Ali was a champion through and through. His character was as strong as his body. The fact that he put it all on the line to do the right thing, risking his wealth as well as his ability to make a living, speaks to his strength. What an inspriration for all of us. RIP Muhammad Ali.

Legislature to debate slots at non-profits
Published in the Current and the American Journal
Local lawmakers who voted in June to allow slot machines at VFW halls, Eagles lodges, and other veterans' and civic organizations may be changing their minds.
In a June 3 vote on a bill that could come back to the Legislature as early as next week, all of the local Democrats in the Maine House of Representatives, and half of the local Republicans, voted in favor of installing up to five slot machines at veterans' halls and lodges of nonprofit civic organizations.
The machines would accept a maximum bet of $5 and make maximum payouts of $1,250. Of the money the machines took in, 80 percent would be
returned to bettors, who would have to be over 21 and either members or guests of the organization – not the public.
Of the rest of the money, 75 percent would go to the organization hosting the machine, 2 percent would go to a statewide problem-gambling treatment fund, 2 percent to state regulatory expenses and the rest would be divided between statewide revenue sharing and payments directly to the town hosting the machines.
Voting in favor were Janet McLaughlin, D-Cape Elizabeth, Larry Bliss, D-South Portland and Cape Elizabeth, Chris Barstow, D-Gorham, Ron Usher, D-Westbrook, Bob Duplessie, D-Westbrook, Louis Maietta, R-South Portland, Gary Moore, R-Standish, and House Republican Leader Joseph Bruno, R-Windham and Raymond.
Voting against it were Kevin Glynn, R-South Portland, Harold Clough, R-Scarborough and Gorham, Philip Cressey, R-Casco, Naples, and Sebago, and David Tobin, R-Windham. Darlene Curley, R-Scarborough, was not present for the vote.
Now some who voted in the favor of the slots are changing their minds.
"My position right now would be against any expansion of gambling," said Barstow. Saying he had learned more about the gambling industry and heard more from constituents since June, "it's best that we try to cut back gambling," not expand it, he said.
Usher said he didn't know why he voted to allow slot machines at veterans' halls and lodges for other civic organizations in June and didn't know how he would vote if it were included as part of new gambling legislation this session. "I want to get some more details on that," said Usher.
He did say, however, that he was concerned that with the new smoking ban in bars, bar patrons may already be headed for halls and lodges of civic organizations.
Adding slot machines would be another draw to bring people into those establishments.
"What a change in environment," said Usher. "Are we getting minicasinos?"
Duplessie said he had not changed his mind and still supports regulating slots at the organizations. With over 1,000 illegal slot machines operating in the state, he said government should regulate them and get a share of the take. "People are going to gamble," he said.
Bliss said he did not recall the June vote, and would have expected himself to vote against it. (A House roll call shows him supporting it.)
Bliss said he would oppose the issue now. "I don't think slot machines are the answer," he said. "Economic development doesn't come from slot machines."
Glynn, who voted against it in June and said he would do so again, remembered the June vote and the 90-minute debate on the issue that preceded it. He was surprised that some legislators said they didn't remember. "Any bill that comes out as a divided bill that we debate, I know how I voted," Glynn said.
Back before committee
The bill passed the House by a vote of 84-53, and went to the Senate, which did not take a vote.
Instead, the Senate sent it back into a legislative committee to review after the statewide Nov. 4 racino and casino referendum votes.
Now the Legal and Veterans Affairs Committee, which has jurisdiction over gambling legislation, is sending the proposal back to the House.
The changes could allow slot machines at veterans and non-profit organizations, as well as off-track betting parlors, while simultaneously regulating slot machines at harness racetracks. The changes could also consolidate regulations on high-stakes bingo, beano and the state lottery, according to Rep. Moore, the ranking minority member of the committee.
The request for slot machines came from veterans organizations and other civic groups, Moore said. "Usually, there's not a lot of agonizing when, for whatever reason, a veterans group comes forward and asks for something."
The groups pointed out their civic activities and told the committee they needed more money to do more work.
"Basically, they were saying, 'we're dying off because of old age, and we need a new revenue stream,'" Moore said.
He supported it in the committee and in the House vote, in part, because "there are a lot of places that it's already happening."
Gaming already exists
Maine State Police records indicate that 14 organizations have licenses to operate bingo, beano and other games of chance – including video poker. Most of them are for bingo or beano, though state records don't differentiate between types of licenses.
Westbrook's 32 licensed organizations include the Holy Name Society, granges, Knights of Columbus halls, veterans organizations, sports boosters, Little League and the fire department.
Windham's eight licenses are held by the Rotary Club, three fire companies, the Lake Pine Association, the Lake Region Eagles, Maine Junior Chamber of Commerce and the Msgr. William Cunneen Knights of Columbus.
Scarborough's 14 licensed organizations include the VIP Bingo hall on Route 1, as well as Bayley's Camping Resort, the Higgins Beach Association, St. Maximilian Kolbe Parish, the Scarborough Chamber of Commerce and the Scarborough Athletic Boosters.
A license for the Loyal Order of Moose to operate a game of chance called "pull tabs" was approved by the Town Council Nov. 19, but has not yet been sent to the state, according to Moose lodge administrator, Bob Lerman.
The game involves tickets similar to scratch lottery tickets, but instead of scratching to win, you peel back a perforated tab to uncover the results. The Moose would use the roughly $800 it would make for every 4,000 tickets sold to add to their charitable donations, which total about $6,000 a year, Lerman said.
Glynn, who also serves on the Legal and Veterans Affairs Committee, fears allowing the slot machines will create "little minicasinos of up to five slot machines per establishment."
He said the state law would prevent towns from increasing regulations after the law passed. Town councils will have to approve the slot licenses the same way they now approve liquor licenses, but organizations will be able to appeal to a state regulator if the town denies a license. That would effectively allow the town's decision to be overruled.
"A town would have to preemptively block it," Glynn said. "If towns do nothing and this law passes, they will have slot machines."

Modern family: Jet-setting Jolie-Pitts take their brood to Japan
November 08, 2011 - 14:10 GMT hellomagazine.com Hundreds of cheering fans turned out to welcome the family
With a family of eight, you're never going to make a quiet entrance.
There were scenes of excitement at Tokyo's International Airport as the unmistakable Jolie-Pitt clan made their way through international arrivals.
CLICK ON PHOTOS TO SEE MORE PICS OF THE ADORABLE FAMILY
Hundreds of cheering fans had gathered to welcome Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt to the country.
The stunning actress smiled warmly as she walked along hand in hand with three-year-old Vivienne, an Pax – seven, who was adopted from Vietnam.
Behind, her partner took charge of five-year-old Shiloh, six-year-old Zahara – adopted from Ethiopia – and Knox, twin brother of Vivienne.
The oldest of their brood, ten-year-old Maddox, walked on his own between his parents.
The little ones took the attention in their stride. After years of jet setting as part of one of the world's most famous families, they must be more than used to it by now.
Just a few days previously the family were in Budapest while Brad filmed scenes for zombie flick World War Z.
And they spent a good deal of time over the summer living in London while he shot the movie in Cornwall and Glasgow, which was transformed into a post-apocalyptic Philadelphia for the movie.
This week the family are in the Far East while Brad promotes his new movie Moneyball.

Back in April we introduced a new youth format – 3rd Sunday. Initially this was going to be trialed until the summer but as it was deemed so popular we have continued each month to meet every 3rd Sunday of the month in the evening with ages from 11 to 18.
The format of Sunday evenings consist of games, desserts and fellowship. Throughout last year we had our very own carpool karaoke videos which involved different young people each month singing along to the hits in hilarious videos. We have also encouraged the young people to come up with their own challenge videos.
If you know of anyone aged 11 to 18 who is looking a bit of 'bant' on a Sunday evening before starting the school week they would be more than welcome to come and join in.


This is a guest post from Josh Moore, Co-Founder & Chief Revenue Officer for the full service, Social Business Marketing Agency, Marketing Nutz.
This title may make a few of you laugh, and a few of you think I have lost my mind. Either way, it got your attention enough to read this post, so it worked!
My play on words beckons back to a day not long ago in the 90's to a show fondly called "Beavis and Butthead". You see, Beavis would yank his shirt up over his head, throw his arms in the air and yell "My name is Cornholio! Take me to your leader"! This would be followed up by his pal Butthead yelling back "Shutup Beavis"!
It is the first month of the year, and all the sales and business development hunters have their numbers to go after, and are ready to go on the big safari for clients large and small. I am included in that bunch and am ready to go hunt myself, but am unique in that I am also the recipient of many of the cold calls and e-mails from these individuals.
So, needless to say, I am getting tons of calls. A few good, and many that fall into the category of "My name is Cornsalesio – Take me to your leader! Whom in turn get a "Shut- Up"!
Because I run our partner program, as well as lead our sales effort, I watch and listen closely to all e-mails, forms, and calls coming in to talk to us. This includes both PamMarketingNut.com as well as TheMarketingnutz.com sites. This is the first time in my career where I have been on the receiving end at this depth, and I have learned quite a few mistakes we all make when reaching out. Some of them are just stupid, and I will list those, but the subtleties are what make all the difference in who gets a conversation and who doesn't.
Don't be lazy. If you go to my web form on the site, and it is asking YOU for YOUR budget, that probably isn't the way we want to communicate with someone who would like to sell to us. Don't fill it out. It discredits you and your company and you likely wont get a call back.
Don't be lazy. If you call the general phone line, do some research and determine WHO you want to speak with. Leverage the power of social and platforms such as LinkedIn to do such.
Don't be lazy. The days of canned sales outreach via e-mail are gone. Not sure they ever were really here.
Don't be lazy. Sending the same SPAM email to my LinkedIn inbox because we are connected will get you nowhere, except a disconnection. I trusted you when we connected and you broke my trust. This is not only lazy, but it's stupid.
Don't be lazy. See a theme here? If you contact any company and try to go straight to the top to pitch, you better be ready to explain yourself and your product well.
Don't be a sissy. If you want to sell something, SELL IT. Don't sugarcoat, or fake that you want to partner, or say my least favorite phrase "explore synergies" if all you want to do is make a sale. People smell it a mile away.
Don't be a slick Willy. When you leave a message, don't just leave your name and number and ask for a call back. You will generally get a call back, but your chances of a conversation are low at best. This one is stupid.
Don't create and invite me to a LinkedIn group just to sell to me. Build a relationship first or I will leave. This is stupid, but new to lots of folks, so I will give some slack on this one.
Don't tell me you want our company, or our CEO to test/review your product but want me to buy the subscription to do it.
Don't tell me to take a look at your app and just send me a link. Why should I?
If you are selling your platform as one you would like us to partner or affiliate, make sure the site works first before you reach out. We understand there is pressure to drive revenue ASAP, we launch platforms ourselves. Alpha/Beta bugs? Cool. Inoperability and horrible user experience at first glance, nope. The old saying "you only have one chance to make a first impression" applies greatly here.
I have covered off on a few areas that we have already seen this year that need some work, or are just plain stupid. If you are doing any of these, take a deep breath. You aren't alone! I have been guilty of many of them in the past, and clearly many of our peers are still actively pursuing entrance to the stupid sales tactic hall of fame.
So, here are a few things that will help you in the coming year to make your goals, and reach more people.
1. Leverage social media to learn about your prospect contact.
I put this first, because it is the biggest problem with those of us in a sales hunter type role. We are aggressive and tend to be a bit ADD in our personality. This means we are great with relationships, and don't mind hustling to make the calls and send the e-mails.
That's great, but hustling, calls and e-mails are all for not if we aren't making an impact. I promise if you do your research prior to outreach in 2013 your results will increase immensely. This includes knowing the individual you are trying to reach before you ever make the first call.
Thanks to social media we now have amazing tools, many of them free to know the person on a professional level (LinkedIn), and on a personal/professional level (Facebook/Twitter, etc.).
This replaces the old get in the office and start looking for pictures of them with kids on a boat, or fishing and doing the "look for the hook" to find common ground. It's already there, before you reach out, and at your fingertips. Don't be lazy (and stupid). Do the research, get connected, build the relationship and THEN reach out.
2. Leverage social media to learn about your prospect company.
Same goes for the company you are calling on. Some of you may remember the old days of having a Hoovers account, or trying to dig up as much info as you can on Yahoo finance about the company you were going to see. The world has grown leaps and bounds since then.
With social business, business profiles on all platforms, Wikipedia, and many time the companies own web-sites you can know more about a company's history walking in the door than many of its employees. Make it a point to do this.
The two suggestions above take time. I know because I do it. This means you cant do this for every outreach. Determine the accounts that are your "A" priority and start there. After you have wheels in motion with them, go to the "B" accounts and so on.
So, your question is, what do I do with the others? The answer is one of two choices – The first choice is to do nothing. Like I said above, you only have one chance to make a first impression. Why throw it away because you want (or need) to "look busy".
If you have a sales leadership team that is basing your success only on the number of calls or e-mails you make, then send them this post. If they don't currently or don't want to "get it", they are stupid. There are many sales organizations out there that "get it", and it may be time you started looking to work for one that does. You will make more money, that's for sure. This doesn't mean I don't hold my teams accountable for the amount of outreach they make, but meaningful outreach trumps numbers every day, all day.
The second choice is to build relationship. Identify the individual you will be selling to or partnering with and try to connect on LinkedIn. Join some of their groups. Support their company, follow them on social platforms and setup a Google alert for them. This will give you a head start when you are ready to get to them for the TLC needed for outreach.
4. Plan your work, and work your plan.
You should know right now who your top 10 prospects are for the year. If you don't, you are just swimming in the ocean with no direction.
Get your compass and waypoint and start swimming! I know that when I was in a business development hunter role, my close ratio was 80,10,3,1. I needed to make 80 initial contacts to generate 10 conversations, to generate 3 deep discoveries, to make 1 close. This was selling at the enterprise level, and everyone is different, but I encourage you to try and figure out this number for yourself. Your CRM system can really help.
5. Use your CRM system.
It is your friend! I used to be a horrible offender of not using my CRM to effectively manage my accounts and contacts. Learn from me, and don't do this. Don't be lazy! Enter in the conversations, outreaches, and focus on relationships. It WILL help you be successful, and may keep you a job when times are tight for a company. It's your only proof, aside from your closed business. That being said, pipeline doesn't matter during layoff time. Closed business does.
6. Hope Is Not a Strategy. This is a great saying to live by as a sales and business developer, but also the title to an amazing book by Rick Page. If you are selling complex or high tech products and services I highly suggest you pick it up. It changed the way I approach business. This book is not for the lazy, but will show you a full breakdown of the complex sales process as Rick sees it and probably open your eyes to a few things you have not thought about in the past. I am not affiliated with Rick. Have never met the guy, he just wrote a great book.
I think that's it for now. If you have any questions, feel free to comment, I will try my best to get back to you via the comment stream. We also teach social business sales training for organizations from startup to Fortune 50. If you need help, ask!

Le phare est visible dans le clip Stonemilker de l'album Vulnicura de la chanteuse islandaise Björk. Ce clip, l'un des tout premiers réalisés avec une technologie à 360°, permet de voir le phare en arrière-plan selon deux points de vue, l'un depuis la plage de la petite baie de Seltjörn, l'autre depuis les abords immédiats du phare sur les rivages rocheux de l'île de Grótta. Ce lieu est choisi par l'artiste car elle y aurait écrit la chanson.

Q: Using Performance Monitor to monitor pooled connections I'm investigating this error from a MVC3 application that is failing under load:
"The timeout period elapsed prior to obtaining a connection from the pool.  This may have occurred because all pooled connections were in use and max pool size was reached."
The application is using the Repository pattern and Entity Framework, and my hunch is that it's not closing off connections properly. I want to be able to monitor the number of pooled connections on the SQL Server. Searching around leads me to believe that I can use these counters in Perfmon:

*

*.NET CLR Data

*.NET Data Provider for SQLServer

However both of them show  and  being disabled / grayed out.
I am running Perfmon directly on the server, and both ISS and SQL Server are running on the server. Any ideas why these counters would not be available?
I've also tried using SQL Profiler to monitor pooled connections, but the EventSubClass column isn't available for AuditLogin.

A: You can run this from a SQL query windows to get a count and the details of current connections and session running on your SQL server.
select * FROM sys.dm_exec_sessions AS es
INNER JOIN sys.dm_exec_connections AS ec
ON es.session_id = ec.session_id

I've had trouble with pooled connections. They're hard to control. Explicitly closing them never seemed to work since they're under the control of .NET. The biggest reason we've run out of connections is uncommitted transactions. If a transaction is left uncommitted or rolled back for some reason, the connection, instead of being re-used, get's stuck in limbo, forcing .NET to open yet another connection to continue processing.

A: From the SQL side, the only viable way to review this is by setting up a login event trace. The "Event Subclass" column will tell you if the event happened using a pooled connection or not. With that, you can correlate the host, login, and application names and continue digging.
Audit Login Event Class
On the application side you can use the performance counters of ".NET DATA PROVIDER FOR SQL SERVER" on perfmon.

Britain's most stressful cities to drive in revealed
| by Kristian Dando
Insurance firm AXA reckons that Newcastle is the most stressful location in Britain to drive in.
Over the course of 700 miles and one week, taking in some of the UK's most patience-sapping hotspots, driver David Dutton was wired up to a device which measured his heart rate. Newcastle confronted Dutton with numerous lane changes, tail-gating, drivers cutting up others and agitated motorists, making it the most stressful spot of the week.
Leeds on the other hand, saw his heart rate peak at a positively languid 90 bpm. A flustered David said: "It doesn't surprise me that Newcastle came out on top. I am sure that a lapse in concentration would have resulted in me either taking the wrong lane and going the wrong way or getting into an accident. There were cars everywhere. Leeds was a pleasure in comparison, despite narrow lanes and numerous lane changes the drivers seemed to be courteous and aware of those around them."
It wasn't just Newcastle that David didn't like. "The Magic Roundabout in Swindon was an experience - I had a near miss on M4/M5 interchange and I saw the aftermath of an accident in Manchester. I needed to be switched on throughout each journey," he recalled. "I got the train home after the experiment and I've never been so happy to be on public transport!"
Amanda Edwards from AXA car insurance said: "These results just go to show how stressful driving can be. It's important for drivers to be aware of other road users and be considerate at all times to make driving in rush hour as pleasant and as safe as it can be. Keeping calm and being patient is crucial, and will help you reach your destination safely."
Here's the list of locations David Dutton visited, ranked in order of how stressed they made him.

Mar-a-Lago Search Warrant Likely 'Exhaustive,' Unlike 'Any Other Affidavit In Recent Memory' At DOJ
Chuck Rosenberg, Joyce Vance, and Frank Figliuzzi join Andrea Mitchell with the legal angle on the FBI's search of Mar-a-Lago, breaking down how and why a federal search warrant could have been obtained and its possible implications. "With a warrant like this for a search target like Mr. Trump, I'm convinced that this would be an exhaustive recitation of facts, everything the government has. And not only would it be exhaustive, it would have been flyspeck, unlike perhaps any other affidavit in recent memory at the Department of Justice," says Rosenberg. "This is quite literally unprecedented."

Track of the Week 2010: #42
LoneLady – 'Fear No More'
I'm sure that you've all had times where you've read a review delightedly only to find out upon listening to the band or album that they're very little like what was read. The worst part of this is always that the idea has been planted in your mind and you feel robbed of a sound that never actually existed.
When I read the reviews of The XX's album I was expecting from the singles an infusion of post-punk and contemporary pop influences that the group didn't supply. It's not that I've a problem with The XX, it's just to my ears they're much more akin to Portishead than the sonic innovators of the late '70s and early '80s.
With my listening habits these days being very fragmented it's been difficult to pick a lone track that I think you should check out above all others. Making that something so hot off the shelf that you won't have heard it elsewhere is nothing short of impossible. That's why (and bringing the two strands together here) I've gone for a track from an album that was released earlier in the year but that I've only just got around to picking up. Hopefully you won't have heard it. It's by LoneLady. She's from Manchester. And it's everything that I hoped The XX would be.
LoneLady's debut album Nerve Up, from my first few listens, comes across as a very fresh sounding recording that rather than taking the exact sonic hallmarks of post-punk interprets the ethos of 'ripping it up and starting again'. Whilst the angular riffs for the most part are the starting point or central motif around which the song hangs there's always much more going on. The vocal frequently slips into a distinctly pop style, whilst drum machines echo electronic music from a time that's difficult to pinpoint. There's occasionally flourishes of synthesiser that recall the more nostalgic moments of The Pains of Being Pure at Heart and flickers of '90s alt. rock. But these are all threads woven into the wider landscape that's inhabited.
Nothing weighs this down to a particular style and it's all but impossible to pigeon-hole the album.
This weeks' Track of the Week is the closing song from Nerve Up. It's as stripped back as LoneLady gets and sees here guitar accompanied only by the barest of strings. It verges on the gothic and is absolutely stunning. Perfect for the long winter months ahead and as different from last weeks TotW as it's possible to be.

Role of p16 and p53 in oral potentially malignant disorders and oral squamous cell carcinoma: A study in Malaysia
Nyi Mas Siti Purwaningsih, Ahmad Tarmidi Sailan, Suraya Hani Mohd. Sinon, Ajura Abdul Jalil
Clinical Oral Biology
Oral Pathology and Oral Medicine
Ninety-five percentages of oral cancer are classified as oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). p16 and p53 are protein in human cell cycle regulation that can play role as tumour suppressor genes. The purpose of the research is to detect p16 and p53 expressions in oral potentially malignant disorders (OPMDs) and OSCC using immunohistochemistry (IHC). A total of 87 formalin-fixed paraffin embedded tissue were selected comprising of OPMDs cases (n=32), OSCC cases (n=46) and normal oral mucosa (n=9). The cases were retrieved from the archives of the Oral Pathology Laboratory, Faculty of Dentistry, UKM, Institute of Medical Research and Hospital Tunku Mizan. The IHC staining was manually performed using p16 antibody (1:1000) (Abcam) and p53 antibody (clone DO-7,Dako, Denmark) following manufacturer's instruction and assessed semi-quantitatively (positivity and staining intensity) between all groups. Positive and negative controls were used to validate the IHC run. All data were then analysed using SPSS version 22.0 and p values < 0.05 were considered significant. The p16 were found positive in OSCC (96.7%) and in OPMDs (84.38%). There is significantly higher p16 positivity in OSCC compared to normal oral mucosa (p < 0.001). The p53 expression was detected in OPMDs and OSCC. There are significant differences between p53 expression among in NOM and OSCC (p < 0.01) as well as OPMDs and OSCC (p < 0.05). In this present study, p16 and p53 expressions were increased following degree of malignancy. The finding suggests that p16 and p53 can be used as a potential marker for oral malignancy detection.

Two arrested for stealing traffic light batteries
Published by leila stein on December 23, 2020
Two people were arrested on Wednesday, December 23 after stealing two traffic light batteries which are installed to keep robots going during load shedding.
Since this is not an uncommon occurrence, alarms and trackers are installed for batteries in hot spot areas where there is a higher possibility they will be stolen.
In the case of these batteries, the alarms went off and the SA Security alerted SSIU at 2.52am of the theft in Frans Conradie Drive.
"Metro Police was also contacted for assistance and a team followed the battery's signal to a house in Bardale Village," said Alderman JP Smith in a statement.
"A search of the premises revealed the battery and other stolen equipment in a vehicle. The stolen property was recovered at 4.42am."
The owner of the property and another person on site were arrested and taken to the Kleinvlei police station and are now awaiting their appearance in court on Monday, December 28.
"The quick work of everyone involved is commended. The theft of these batteries and damage to City infrastructure cannot continue unabated. It is not only a needless drain on our resources, but also puts lives in danger because of traffic lights that don't work," said Smith.

Michael Douglas as William Foster FALLING DOWN Alcor Films/Warner Bros
Life in LA becomes too much for redundant ex-defence worker Michael Douglas
Life in LA becomes too much for redundant ex-defence worker Michael Douglas.
Stuck in a traffic jam, he impulsively abandons his car and heads off on foot. It's a not-to-be-missed opening sequence and this drama remains compelling as Douglas begins by asking for change in a shop and ends up wielding a bazooka, leaving an ever-escalating trail of destruction behind him.
Robert Duvall is the cop out to catch him in a subtle, darkly humorous tale that touches a raw nerve of urban paranoia and his thoughtful character ensures that it's also a story with a believable moral centre.
Douglas' po-faced performance comes into its own whenever he walks up to a counter ('I'm standing up for my rights as a consumer!') and the film takes a genuinely disturbing turn when he goes into an army surplus store and meets a man who's even crazier than he is.
A potent modern parable of powerlessness and despair, the film's most telling sequence is Douglas' encounter with a child who shows him how to use his rocket launcher and then asks: 'What's the name of the movie you're making?'

Emissions Show 'Surprisingly Rapid' Rebound as Pandemic Lockdowns Ease
digifly840 / Pixabay
Global greenhouse gas emissions are going through a "surprisingly rapid" rebound as pandemic restrictions begin to lift, according to an update to the Global Carbon Project research that previously tracked a 25% reduction in output at the height of the lockdown.
"Emissions fell by a quarter when the lockdowns were at their peak, and in early April global daily carbon dioxide emissions were still down by 17% compared with the average figure for 2019," The Guardian recalls, citing research published last month in the journal Nature Climate Change. "Now, daily carbon emissions are still down on 2019 levels, but by only 5% on average globally."
"Things have happened very fast," said lead author Corinne Le Quéré, a professor of climate change at the UK's University of East Anglia. "Very few countries still have stringent confinement. We expected emissions to come back, but that they have done so rapidly is the biggest surprise."
But not that much of a surprise after Le Quéré's co-author, Stanford University climate scientist Rob Jackson, warned the reductions will just be a "blip" without deeper change in the structural features of the economy that cause greenhouse gas emissions.
As of June 11, the year's emissions were 8.6% below the same period for 2019, The Guardian says, and emissions for this year are still expected to fall 4.0 to 7.0% short of last. But that's "not enough to make a significant contribution to the cuts in emissions needed to fulfil the Paris Agreement on climate change, which will require structural changes to transport systems and how energy is generated," the UK-based paper notes.
Le Quéré said most of the shift in both directions came from vehicle use. "Road transport is the most responsive sector," she told The Guardian. "Emissions from transport were always going to go back up, but government responses [to shift driving habits] have not been as fast as I would have liked. It would be terrible if we carry on going back to normal. It would be a disaster."
But Mike Childs, head of science at Friends of the Earth UK, said Prime Minister Boris Johnson set up exactly that kind of dynamic by specifically urging citizens to drive to work. "By saying people should jump back into cars, the government are contributing to increased pollution," he said. "Road use was the big problem, and cycling and walking provision has always been part of the solution—just more so now, as we emerge."
There's growing concern that post-lockdown emissions will even exceed the previous total as transit riders shift to private cars. "What we may now see are emissions that exceed pre-pandemic levels, if for instance more people start using private instead of public transport due to health concerns," said Bob Ward, a policy director at the London School of Economics' Grantham Research Institute on Climate Change. "Any economic recovery packages designed to help economies fully rebound need to focus on zero-carbon, climate-resilient investments that address unemployment, but avoid locking us into a new high-carbon future."
Le Quéré agreed that governments have a crucial role to play, noting that emissions could rise well above pre-pandemic thresholds "if the government incentives for boosting the economy are blind to climate change. Building roads, for example, would be very detrimental." But policy-makers and politicians have other options—like removing barriers to electric vehicle adoption, encouraging building energy retrofits, planting trees, and restoring nature.
"The window of opportunity will not be closed until the end of the year," she said. "But after that it will be closed."
