III. Short Answer Questions
Define the term management.
"To manage is to forecast, to plan, to organise, to command, to co-ordinate and to control."
-Henry Fayol.
It attempts to describe management in terms of what a manager does, and not what management is.
Is management an Art or Science?
Management is neither a science nor an art, but a combination of both requiring people holding managerial positions to apply the scientific management principles and displaying popular managerial skills to accomplish the organizational goals as efficiently and as quickly as possible so as to be competitive in the globalised environment of business.
Differentiate Management from Administration.

Science, Not Rule of Thumb
Harmony, Not Discord
Mental Revolution
Cooperation, Not individualism
Development of each and every person to his or her greatest efficiency and prosperity.
What determines the span of management?
The Span of Management has two implications:
Influences the complexities of the individual managers job.

IV. Long Answer Questions
Write about the contribution of Drucker to management.
"Management is a multipurpose organ that manages a business and manages manager, and manages worker and work."— Peter F. Drucker: The Practice of Management.
Drucker stresses three jobs of management:
Managing a business;
Managing manager; and
Managing workers and work.
Even if one is omitted, It would not have management anymore and it also would not have a business enterprise or an industrial society. According to P. Drucker, the manager has" to balance and integrate three major jobs of a business enterprise as mentioned above.
Hence, a manager is a dynamic and life-giving element in every business. Without efficient management it cannot be possible to secure the best allocation and utilisation of human, ' material and financial resources.
Explain the management process in detail.
The substance of management should be identified as a process. A process is something that what a person does in the context of his individual duties and responsibilities assigned by his or her immediate higher authority.
There are twin purposes of the management process:
Maximum productivity or profitability
Maximum human welfare and satisfaction.
There are five parts of management as a process:
Co-ordination of resources: The manager of an enterprise must effectively coordinate all activities and resources of the organisation, namely, men, machines, materials and money, the fdur M's of management.
Management is a Process:
The manager achieves proper coordination of resources by means of the managerial functions of planning, organising, staffing, directing (or leading and motivating) and controlling.
Management is a Purposive Process:
It is directed toward the achievement of predetennined goals or objectives. Without an objective, we have no destination to reach or a path to follow to arrive at our destination, i.e., a goal, both management and organisation must be purposive or goal-oriented.
Management is a Social Process:
It is the art of getting things done through other people.
Management is a Cyclical Process:
It represents planning-action-control-replanning cycle, i.e., an ongoing process to attain the planned goals.
Describe the principles of scientific management.
(i) Science, Not Rule of Thumb: Rule of Thumb means decisions taken by manager as per their personal judgments. According to Taylor, even a small production activity like loading iron sheets into box cars can be scientifically planned. This will help in saving time as well as human energy. Decisions should be based on scientific enquiry with cause and effect relationships.
(ii) Harmony, Not Discord: Taylor emphasized that there should be complete harmony between the workers and the management since if there is any conflict between the two, it will not be beneficial either for the workers or the management. Both the management and the workers should realize the importance of each other.
iii) Mental Revolution: The technique of Mental Revolution involves a change in the attitude ' of workers and management towards each other. Both should realize the importance of each other and should work with full cooperation. Management as well as the workers should aim to .increase the profits of the organisation.
(iv) Cooperation, Not Individualism: This principle is an extension of principle of 'Harmony, ' . not discord' and lays stress on mutual cooperation between workers and the management. Cooperation, mutual confidence, sense of goodwill should prevail among both, managers as well as workers. The intention is to replace internal competition with cooperation. Both 'Management' and 'Workers' should realize the importance of each other.
(v) Development of each and every person to his or her greatest efficiency and prosperity: Efficiency of any organisation also depends on the skills and capabilities of its employees to a great extent. Thus, providing training to the workers was considered essential in order to learn the best method developed through the use of scientific approach.
Explain the principles of modern management.
The Father of Modem Management is Mr.Henry Fayol, and according to him there are 14 major principles of management which every manager has to practice for the success of the organization.
Division of Work: According to this principle the whole work is divided into small tasks. This leads to specialization which increases the efficiency of labour.
Authority and Responsibility: This is the issue of commands followed by responsibility for their consequences.
It is obedience, proper conduct in relation to others, respect of authority, etc. It is essential for the smooth functioning of all organizations.
Unity of Command:
This principle states that each subordinate should receive orders and be accountable to one and only one superior.
Unity of Direction:
All related activities should be put under one group, there should be one plan of action for them, and they should be under the control of one manager.
Subordination of Individual Interest to Mutual Interest:
The management must put aside personal considerations and put company objectives firstly.
Remuneration:
Workers must be paid sufficiently as this is a chief motivation of employees and therefore greatly influences productivity.
The Degree of Centralization:
The amount of power wielded with the central management depends on company size.
Line of Authority/Scalar Chain:
This refers to the chain of superiors ranging from top management to the lowest rank.
Social order ensures the fluid operation of a company through authoritative procedure.
Employees must be treated kindly, and justice must be enacted to ensure a just workplace.
Stability of Tenure of Personnel:
Stability of tenure of personnel is a principle stating that in order for an organization to run smoothly, personnel (especially managerial personnel) must not frequently enter and exit the organization.
Initiative:
Using the initiative of employees can add strength and new ideas to an organization.
Esprit de Corps/Team Spirit:
This refers to the need of managers to ensure and develop morale in the Workplace; individually and communally.
Discuss the implications of span of management.
Determine the shape or configuration of the Organization.
The span of management is related to the horizontal levels of the organization structure. There is a wide and a narrow span of management. With the wider span, there will be less hierarchical levels, and thus, the organizational structure would be flatter. Whereas, with the narrow span, the hierarchical levels increases, hence the organizational structure would be tall.
Both these organizational structures have their advantages and the disadvantages. But however the tall organizational structure imposes more challenges.
Since the span is narrow, which means less number of subordinates under one superior, requires more managers to be employed in the organization. Thus, it would be very expensive in terms of the salaries to be paid to each senior.
With more levels in the hierarchy, the communication suffers drastically. It takes a lot of time to reach the appropriate points, and hence the actions get delayed.
Lack of coordination and control because the operating staff is far. away from the top management.

Imagine yourself to be a manager and chart down the functions to be performed.
If I am a manager of a company, I need to perform the following functions:
(a) Planning – mapping out exactly how to achieve a particular goal; creating a structure for daily tasks.
(b) Organizing – arranging the narrow goals from their broadest to most intricate form; assigning work as well as the required material to the team.
(c) Staffing – beefing up the team by recruiting, selecting, training, and developing employees.
(d) Leading – motivating, communicating, guiding, encouraging as well as assisting the team members.
(e) Controlling: Continuously checking results against goals and taking any corrective actions necessary to ensure success of the plan.
Formulate a new policy relating to timing of employees.
It has always been a struggle for people to maintain work-life balance. Working excessive hours poses a danger to workers' health and to their families. Earlier all the work was done manually. However, with the help of machinery and computers, in modem times certain industries don't require as many working hours anymore. Technology has introduced new ways to increase productivity. More recently, the global trend leans toward a four-day work week (counting one work day as eight hours).
Even the ILO standards on working time provide the framework for regulated hours of work, daily and weekly rest periods, and annual holidays. These instruments ensure high productivity while safeguarding workers' physical and mental health. If the workers earn enough to pay for their necessities, they may opt to spend more time at home or in leisure. Countries around the globe are already experimenting and implementing shorter work weeks in varying degrees. So, in my opinion, the new policy relating to timing of employees should be a four-day work week.

Notre Dame promotes Freeman, 35, to replace Kelly as coach
Updated: Dec 3, 2021 / 09:59 AM EST
Notre Dame promoted defensive coordinator Marcus Freeman to head coach of the Fighting Irish on Friday to replace Brian Kelly.
Freeman, 35, takes over less than a week after Kelly's surprising and abrupt departure for LSU with the Irish still in contention for the College Football Playoff spot.
Three Buckeyes named semifinalists for Freshman of the Year Award
Kelly hired Freeman away from Cincinnati after the 2020 season. The former Ohio State linebacker has spent four seasons with the Bearcats, helping Cincinnati develop into a playoff contender.
In one season at Notre Dame, Freeman helped a team that was expected to be in transition after making the playoff last year go 11-1. He also established himself as a vital recruiter for Notre Dame.
Notre Dame announced Freeman will be introduced at a new conference on campus Monday.
News that Notre Dame was working toward to make Freeman the head coach broke Wednesday, just two days after word spread that Kelly, Notre Dame's winningest coach, was leaving the school to join Southeastern Conference power LSU.

This document is intended to act as reference for the operations that a Project Manager will need to carry out.
Creating financial Documents such as Invoices, Provider Bills, etc.
Projects are thought to be "containers" of sub-projects and tasks. You want to set up a new project if you have a new group of people collaborating.
Projects are carrying permission information for the tasks below the project.
A complete list of projects is available from http://[YOUR_SERVER]/intranet/projects. Permission settings might prevent users from viewing or editing projects.
The quickest and most convenient way finding a project is probably using the ]po[ Full Text Search. A search box is located on the top right corner of each ]po[ screen.
Alternatively you can go to http://[YOUR_SERVER]/intranet/projects and browse or filter by project name.
To create a new project please use the Admin link "Add New Project" that can be found on http://[YOUR_SERVER]/intranet/projects. Depending on your configuration you might need to set some project attribute values first by going through a 'wizard' before seeing the main creation page.
A new project can also be created by cloning an existing one. If no clone link is available from a Project Admin Menu, please ask your System Administrator to allow cloning by setting parameter EnableCloneProjectLinkP accordingly.
New members can be assigned using the "Add member" link in portlet "Project Members"
You can either search for a particular user to added to the project or you can select one or more users from the multi-select box. Users can be added as "Project Managers" or "Full Members".
If users get assigned to subprojects or task, the system adds them automatically to their parent elements. This helps Project Managers of the Parent Projects to get an overview of all employees involved in all subprojects. Please do not reverse this automatic assignment. If you want to limit visibility or time sheet tracking on parent elements, please consider adjusting parameters PermissiveHourLogging and TimesheetTaskVisibilityScope.
Projects can be structured by adding Sub-Projects and Tasks to Projects. A link can be found in the sidebar on a Projects Main Page.
If this link is not visible, the user might not have the permission to create Sub-Projects or the creation is not allowed in general.
When to create a subproject?
If you want to separate access to information to different user.
Example: You probably do not want to let developers have access the contents of the "Acquisition subproject" which might contain sensitive contract and sales information.
In order to delete a project you need to set its status to "Deleted". Projects will be soft-deleted, which means they remain in the system but will be invisible. Deleted projects can be recovered if necessary.
As an System Administrator you can also dump the project entirely from the system. Please see http://[YOUR_SERVER]//intranet/admin/cleanup-demo/ to get a list of removable items.
Please note that in some cases it might be necessary to resolve constraints to other objects manually to allow removal.
Only in few cases you want to remove (nuke) a project entirely because projects might be related to other objects such as logged hours. Removing them would lead to inconsistent data.
Bulk operations on a project's status can be performed in portlet "Project Hierarchy"
Tasks are created within Main Projects or Sub-Projects.
This feature is not yet available in ]po[. Please contact us to inquire for sponsored development.
How many hours can be billed to a customer.
The actually spent number of hours logged via the Timesheet module.
The Cost Center field is pre-set with the Cost Center the current user is assigned to.
Tasks are associated with a single type of service ("material"). Materials are linked with the price list module, so that you can specifiy a price per customer and material.
Tasks are the base for Gantt scheduling algorithms. Tasks may depend on each other and may have different ways to be started and ended.
c) Create tasks within you project/sub-project and set task attributes such as 'name', 'start/end date', 'Planned Units', 'Billable Units', etc.
Projects planned using Microsoft Project (MS Project) or other tools can be imported into ]po[. ]po[ also allows you export projects to MS Project , ProjectLibre and GanttProject .
Project Managers can keep their their tool of choice for Project Management but the organization can benefit at the same time from a central project repository without the need to purchase additional licenses from Microsoft.
Further clicks on the icon provide you with more detailed information down to Year/Quarter/Month and Day.
For better results simply export the project to either MS Project, GanttLibre or GanttProject and create a Gantt Chart from these applications. We are currently working on a AJAX based Gantt Editor to be released in Spring 2014.
A typical ]po[ configuration implements Milestones as (Sub-) Projects. To set a project as a "Milestone Project", set its type to: "Milestone".
All activities that need to be conducted for a milestone will become 'Tasks' of this project.
Project Risks are managed using Portlet "Project Risks".
In order to to create an Impact/Probability matrix, the project attribute "Budget" needs to be set. The matrix shows the number of risks that exist of a given Impact/Probability combination, wheras the value for 'Impact' scale is calculated as the ratio btw. 'Project Budget' and 'Risk Impact'.
Multiple risks can also be uploaded from a CSV file. For additional information and a sample CSV file please refer to this page.
Each task member is given the possibility to report the level of completion on the projects "Task" page.
This value can be either entered manually or evaluated automatically based on the "% completed" values of the projects tasks belonging to this project.
Automatic calculation of "% completed" on a "Project" level requires Parameter "AutomaticProjectAdvanceP" set to true. The value will be calculated when tasks attributes "% completed" and "Planned Hours" are set. Please note that manually adjustments to the "% completed" attribute on a Project level value are overwritten when one of the "%-completed" attributes of a child-tasks changes.
The screenshots shows a project structure that consist of a main project and two sub-projects. Each sub-project as two tasks.
Several Views, Portlets and Reports are available to monitor the progress and evaluate deviations.
This View is available from the Projects Sub Menu and shows Planned Units, Billable Units, Logged Time and % Completion on a Project level.
Projects are the base unit for financial controlling. A project should have a quote (external) or a budget attached that define the amount of resources available to spend. On the cost side there are "Provider Bills" (external invoices), "Expenses & Travel Costs" (small external expenses) and timesheet costs (internal costs). For an introduction please see the following PPT.
Employee salaries is a fixed cost items, which his means that a costs of an employee hour does not vary among projects. However, sales prices for services provided by one and the same employee might vary from customer to customer. Those prices are managed in the customers price table and used to generate customer invoices. Project margin is by default calculated using the sum of invoices issued, minus the internal (Timesheet Costs) and external costs (Provider Bills, Project Expenses).
The generation of financial documents (Customer Invoice, Provider Invoice, Quote, Purchase Order) represents a considerable administrative effort in many companies. ]project-open[ provides a number of ways to accelerate this process by taking advantage of already existing information such as customer and provider addresses and already existing quotes or purchase orders.
For an introduction please see this PPT.
Let's assume you are a freelancer and you have just performed 3 days of training for a customer. You now want to write an invoice quickly and your ]project-open[ has been configured to allow such ad-hoc invoicing. You company is called "Tigerpond Inc.", and your customer is called "ABC Consulting".
Log on as "Ben Bigboss"
Click on "Create Customer Invoice from Scratch"
Enter some invoice lines and select "ABC Consulting" as customer and press "New Customer Invoice"
Click on the "Preview as HTML" link of the finished invoice to preview the invoice.
Click on the "Send Customer Invoice as HTML attachment" link to send the invoice to the customer.
The entire process takes less then a minute if the customer's information already exists.
Please see the Detailed Tutorial for screenshots.
Log on as Ben Bigboss.
Go to the"Projects" tab and choose "Add a New Project" in the page's navigation bar.
The screenshot below shows a sample project definition. Please see the Project page for a detailed description of the project fields.
Once the project has been created, please go to the "Project Member" plugin and click on the "Add members" link.
In the next page please select "David Developer" and "add as Full Member" with the "Notify" field enabled to add David as a project member and to allow him to log hours on the project. David will receive an Email saying that he is now a member of the project.
During the next days and weeks, David can log hour on the project by going to the "Timesheet" tab, selecting the day and entering his hours.
Once the work is done, you go to the project, select the "Finance" tab (of the project!) and click on link "New Customer Invoice from Timesheet Tasks"
This screencast shows how to create a project and tasks in ]project-open[. Based on the logged hours an invoice will be created by using a wizard that guides the user through the process.
From V4.0 on ]po[ provides support for "Project Programms". "Project Programs" are a set of several related projects that are related to each other.
While the concept of "Parent-" and "Subprojects" always requires having the same client, "Project Programs" can be bundled based on arbitrary criteria.
In order to create a "Programm", a new Project of type "Program" needs to be created. In some distributions this particular Project Type would need to be enabled first.
Also the DynField "Program" of Object Type "Project" needs to be visible and editable for all users that should be capable to create Programs and assign Projects to them.
]project-open[ comes with a pre-configured Project Approval Workflow.
In order to activate this workflow you have to add the string "project_approval_wf" to each "Intranet Project Type" category (String1) this workflow should be triggered for.
The feature is provided by package Intranet Gantt Project. It should be pre-installed in all V4.x ]po[ distributions by default.
Contact your System Administrator if you do not see the links for importing and exporting to 3rd party tools. The links are only available if package intranet-ganttproject is installed on your system.
c) Use the "Export Links" on the Projects Home and save the file to your local machine.
e) Import the structure back to ]project-open[ using the link "Import from MS-Project, PL or GP"

Object: Teller's Cage
Teller's Cage
Materials: Metal, wood
The teller's cage at the Institute of Texan Cultures would likely have been used in a bank lobby, connected to several other teller cages. The teller's cage is made up of two parts. The bottom part resembles a wooden podium with drawers and a cupboard. The cupboard is equipped with a latch for the teller to keep bank notes, money, or other small items. The cage portion of the object is made of a metal frame that is meant to protect the bank teller. It leaves only a small opening through which to pass money or other small items to customers.
The first bank in Texas, the Banco Nacional de Texas, was founded while Texas was still a part of Mexico, and Mexico had only recently declared its independence from Spain. Before the first bank, Mexican officials were paid in gold, silver, or specie (coin money which was transported from San Luis Potosi, the nearest depository of the treasury for the Mexican government). These payments were shipped from Mexico. Sometimes the payment shipments were delayed due to unsafe travel conditions. During these long periods between paydays and shipments, Mexican troops and families relied on local merchants to supply them with goods by creating credit. Credit, at that time, was a trust between a creditor or lender and a borrower who was to pay back the creditor when resources or money became available. The Governor of Texas, Jose Felix Trespalacios, decided to establish a national bank to remove the credit system and remedy the long delays between shipments and payments of Mexican officials.
Copy of a portrait of Agustin I, Constitutional Emperor of Mexico, made for the Iturbide Gallery (current Ambassador's Hall) at the National Palace. Image via Wikimedia Commons.
Governor Trespalacios wanted a Mexican banking system that was backed by specie and could issue loans, regulate gold and silver, pay its troops, and free the people of creditors. Feeling confident, Governor Trespalacios issued a decree on October 21, 1822 to establish this bank without authorization from Mexico. This bank, Banco Nacional de Texas, was to be the first national bank west of the Mississippi and the first institution of its kind in Mexico. In his decree to create the bank, Trespalacios also cleverly stated that its creation was subject to the ultimate approval of the Government. This plan eventually reached the emperor of Mexico, Emperor Agustin de Iturbide, who approved the decree. He gave the decree a national application and incorporated the plan into an Imperial Decree on December 29, 1822. The national treasury in Mexico City issued four million dollars in paper money to the bank, thus officially establishing the first bank of Texas. In 1959 the Banco Nacional de Texas, known as the First National Bank, was sold by the Beretta family and dissolved.
Following the establishment of the first bank in Texas, was the introduction of many famous Texan bank robbers. Two of the most infamous are the romantic and ruthless pair of Bonnie Parker and Clyde Champion Barrow. The couple is known for their violent string of bank robberies during the Great Depression, some of which resulted in murder. However, the amount the couple stole never actually exceeded $1,500 at a time. The couple traveled throughout Texas, Arkansas, Oklahoma, New Mexico, Missouri, Kansas, Iowa, and Illinois. Along their travels, the couple robbed, kidnapped, killed, and helped in the escape of prisoners from a Texas prison. On May 23, 1934, the couple drove into a trap set by the police that was near their hide-out in Black Lake, Louisiana which ended in their deaths. Their bodies were displayed in Arcadia, Louisiana and then eventually taken to Dallas to their families. [Elizabeth Volz, edited by Jennifer McPhail]

214(b) denial of the US visa application is one of the most common reasons why a person cannot enter the US. This denial may be caused because a consul determined that a person has an immigrant intent while applied for a non-immigrant visa, or because the person failed to meet requirements for a visa: an L-1 visa applicant may be refused under 214(b) if the consular officer finds he or she lacks one year of qualifying experience at the overseas company; an E visa applicant may receive a 214(b) refusal if the consular officer finds that either the company or the applicant fails to satisfy the treaty visa criteria. By contrast, an applicant for a B-2 visa may be refused on grounds under 214(b) if he or she is unable to overcome the presumption of immigrant intent because of a lack of evidence of a residence outside the United States.
LegalNet is an avenue to dispute unfair denial at the consulate. LegalNet's opinion is usually respected by the consulate. The only caveat is that the officers of the LegalNet will not resolve the issues of facts, but only law (for the most part, since at times it is not possible to separate facts and law). But let's say we have a situation where X, who presented ample evidence of ties with his home country was nevertheless denied a visa: LegalNet will not review the factual findings even if the consular officer was biased.
LegalNet also cannot resolve issues involving derogatory, wrong information contained in the CBP database or an unfavorable Security Advisory opinion.
An inquiry to the LegalNet may often resolve pending administrative processing; may help to fight on an inadmissibility determination made by a consular officer, or may help to overcome denial of a work visa. Make sure to prepare your argument well: LegalNet is used to deal with the questions of law and expects a professional, concise statement of the case and legal argument.

Home Garage How to Build a Garage?
Do you want to learn how to build a garage?
Building a garage can be a difficult endeavor in which the individual making the effort to create the structure should have experience in the construction industry. Garages are used for the storage of vehicles, to complete home renovation projects or work that cannot be completed in the home, or to store items that are just too large for the home dwelling! There are many reasons that a homeowner may choose to build a garage – this tutorial will cover the basics and help the homeowner to know where to begin when it comes to building a garage.
Using a kit to build a garage can save countless days throughout the building process. Inside these garage kits are all of the items required to build the garage, including supplies required to build the foundation of the garage and supplies which are required to frame, roof and even finish the structure. For beginners, these garage building kits are often the best bet when it comes to making an addition to your home, whether you choose to create an attached or detached garage. Garage building kits make the task of building the structure simple with small, categorized tasks that result in the finished product.
If you have decided to forego the garage kit, you can follow these steps to build a garage that can become an extension of the space in which you life.
1. Plan out the area that you intend to use for the garage. Is the garage going to be attached to the home, or detached? Planning the area where the garage is going to be can assist the homeowner in laying the next step of the garage building process, laying the foundation.
2. Buy the supplies. Before beginning the garage building project, it is important to inventory the supplies which are going to be required to build the garage. Remember supplies that will be required for the foundation, the walls, the framing, the interior and insulation as well as the exterior of the garage.
3. Plan the foundation. If the garage is going to be large, it may be beneficial to include professional help for the laying of the concrete foundation that will begin the garage building process. Although this can become a costly part of the garage building process, it is essential to ensure that the foundation has been laid correctly before constructing the structure.
4. After the foundation has settled for at least forty-eight hours, the homeowner can begin to frame the garage. Are you going to have any storage within the garage which will require separate spaces, or are you going to include one large area? Be sure to plan this accordingly before beginning the framing. Consider using a rough plan or set of blueprints to ensure that the framing has been completed accordingly. Taking advantage of storage space within the roof often is planned during the framing process and should be planned for accordingly.
READ How Do I Install A Prefabricated Garage Kits?
5. Complete any electrical outlets and power that will be required within the garage. If you are a novice, it can be helpful to enlist the help of an electrician through this step.
6. After the garage has been framed it is time to begin the exterior. Using plywood, fill in the spaces and create the barriers that are going to protect the items in the garage from the elements.
7. Next, the garage can be roofed. Be sure to use durable roofing supplies that can protect the items within the garage from rain and snow.
8. Lastly, the garage door is installed and the interior work is finished within the garage. Innovative storage techniques like built in shelving can assist in keeping an organized space.
Using these tips and techniques, you should be able to create a functional garage that works just the way you need it to – with a little help from the professionals.

Apple today announced the iPhone 7 and 7 Plus, which both come without a headphone jack. To make up for the lack of a headphone jack, the iPhones will be shipped with a Lightning to 3.5mm Headphone Jack Adapter and EarPods that feature a Lightning connector.
Apple also plans to sell its Lightning to 3.5mm Headphone Jack Adapter and its new Lightning EarPods on a standalone basis for iPhone 7 buyers who want extra accessories.
The Lightning to 3.5mm Headphone Jack Adapter is priced at $9 and while it can't be purchased yet, it will presumably go on sale alongside the iPhone 7.
The EarPods with Lightning Connector are priced at $29, the same price as the EarPods with a 3.5mm Headphone Plug. The Lightning EarPods are also unavailable for purchase at the current time, but should be available alongside the iPhone 7.
Apple today also announced wireless Bluetooth earbuds called AirPods, which will be sold on a standalone basis starting in October. AirPods will be priced at $159.
Apple plans to begin accepting pre-orders for the iPhone 7 and the iPhone 7 Plus on Friday, September 9. The two devices will officially launch a week later, on Friday, September 16.
So would we speculate the DAC & AMP in this retail $9 adapter is as good as the one historically in the iPhone? Or the same? Or not as good?
Not complaining about $9- just trying to guess whether music converting a few inches from where it used to be converted will sound better, the same or worse than it did when the internal "high quality" DAC & AMP were in charge of converting digital to analog.
Argh! No Y-adaptor so I can charge and listen at the same time?!?
So on a road trip in the car, without bluetooth, I can listen or charge.
Keep in mind the phone is my GPS and also draining power that way too.
How about a nice Apple wireless audio to 3.5 adaptor for the car (with microphone)???
So on a road trip in the car, without bluetooth, I can listen or charge. ???
As long as a Y-adapter will be available from a 3rd party, I'll be happy (hopefully by the time the phone ships, or maybe they already exist?).
Apple's internal DAC was one of the best if not the best compared to almost any mobile device. So what sort of DAC are we getting with $9? Sounds strange... or can lightning connector also carry analog audio? That would explain the low price of the adapter (no DAC needed then).
A dirt cheap adaptor for only $9. Along with including both EarPods and an adaptor when you buy your iPhone 7 it looks like Apple is trying to minimize any problems switching.
if i had an iphone 7, i'd rather want the 'reverse' asapter, so i can use the lightning earpods also on my mac. am i insane?
that's basically what i connect my earpods to all the time.
bigger headphones either go to the home hi-fi or in rare case to the laptop.
One simple thing I expect... Being able to charge and listen at the same time... So Apple says "sure, you can dot that. Just buy our new $150 AirPods to free up that single multi-use port that can only have 1 thing plugged in at a time."

Chris Cornell's Family Files Lawsuit Against Doctor They Say Contributed to His Suicide
Elizabeth Cassidy
Chris Cornell's wife, Vicky Cornell, and their children filed a lawsuit against Cornell's doctor Thursday, following the musician's suicide May 2017. Cornell's family is suing Robert Koblin, MD, the doctor they claim over-prescribed Cornell medications.
Though the coroner didn't report Cornell's cause of death as an overdose, Cornell had barbiturates, lorazepam (Ativan), naloxone, caffeine and a decongestant in his system when he died. Barbiturates are a class of sedatives, lorazepam an anti-anxiety medication and naloxone an anti-opioid drug. Naloxone was administered by emergency services after he was found.
Dr. Koblin prescribed "dangerous mind-altering controlled substances" that led to Cornell's "dangerous impulsive behaviors that he was unable to control, costing him his life," the lawsuit, which was obtained by CNN, states. The lawsuit also claims Koblin prescribed the drugs repeatedly and in a negligent manner.
After the release of his toxicology report in June 2017, Vicky Cornell released a statement:
Many of us who know Chris well, noticed that he wasn't himself during his final hours and that something was very off. We have learned from this report that several substances were found in his system. After so many years of sobriety, this moment of terrible judgment seems to have completely impaired and altered his state of mind. Something clearly went terribly wrong and my children and I are heartbroken and are devastated that this moment can never be taken back.
Cornell had a history of substance abuse. The lawsuit says that Koblin prescribed over 940 doses of lorazepam during the last 20 months leading up to his death but that Koblin hadn't followed up with medical tests.
Koblin's attorney, James Kjar, said in a statement to CNN, that Koblin is a "competent and conscientious doctor" who had an "excellent physician/patient relationship" with Cornell and his family.
"The experts I have consulted with believe Dr. Koblin's treatment was within the standard of care in this community and were not a substantial factor in causing Mr. Cornell to commit suicide," Kjar said.

Just wanted to share a few photos from the day in celebration of Father's Day. We feel so blessed to have Charles' dad for another Father's Day. He is a 2-time Cancer Survivor and was originally diagnosed when Lindsey was only 1 year old. The year Sarah was born (almost 11 years ago!) he had a Stem Cell Transplant — way before those words were common household terms! He is a walking miracle and we praise God every day for allowing him to remain in our lives!

Q&A with British musician Dave Kelly (The Blues Band), acknowledged as being amongst the very finest purveyors of rhythm & blues
Posted by Michael Limnios Blues Network on April 6, 2020 at 6:00pm
"Take nothing for granted. No use crying over spilt milk...."
Dave Kelly: The Music of Feeling
The individual members of The Blues Band were already held in admiration by generations of rhythm & blues fans when they formed back in 1979. Almost two and a half decades and over 16 albums later they continue to add to their growing army of followers, and it's not unheard of to find three generations from the same family at a gig. The band are today acknowledged throughout Europe and beyond as being amongst the very finest purveyors of rhythm & blues. They have inspired numerous other blues bands, many of which have come and gone …The Blues Band have remained a constant, increasingly popular fixture, however, and all with only a modicum of help from the record business. (Photo: Dave Kelly / GTA Music Agency)
This independent streak goes right back to their early days when in an unusual move the band "bootlegged" their own first album – certain copies of which are now collector's items. The 'bootlegging' came about because, having recorded their first album, the so called 'major label' which was to release it changed their minds and the band didn't have the cash to pay the studio bill. So they got 1000 copies pressed up, mastered from a copy tape that they had, signed the plain white numbered sleeves and sold them at gigs & via mail order etc. Only then did another 'major label' pick up the album and release it widely. It's a credit to both the band's talent and to their many thousands of fans' loyalty and support that they have since sustained such a long career, and brings into question the oft-spoken phrase by parents despairing of their aspiring musical offspring, "When are you going to get yourself a proper job?"
Such successful musical mavericks are fairly rare and are borne more from word-of-mouth than promotional hype. Either way they still have to cut the mustard. These boys have real feel – for their music, for their audience and for each other. Playing with maturity and passion is second nature to all of them ... Paul Jones has devoted much of a creative career spanning almost 40 years to this eternal, inspiring form - the very base and roots of rock & roll ... Dave Kelly, with his late, great sister, Jo-Ann, introduced a whole generation to the works of Memphis Minnie, Son House, Robert Johnson and Mississippi Fred McDowell ... the blues bit Tom McGuinness in the late '50s and has never let go - the same sharp, tight grip which still holds Rob Townsend and Gary Fletcher within its spell. So here they are, as enthusiastic as ever - Britain's finest, most skilled practitioners in the art of the blues. The Blues Band.
Interview by Michael Limnios Special Thanks: Gilly Tarrant (GTA Music Agency)
How has the Blues and Rock Counterculture influenced your views of the world and the journeys you've taken?
Totally influenced my world and travels. As a nine or ten-year-old when Rock n roll first hit me it has been my consuming passion, my living and my life.
How do you describe your sound, music philosophy and songbook? Where does your creative drive come from?
Don't know really. I'm a firm believer in what Duke Ellington said: there are two types of music - good and bad. I love anything which has feeling in it, whatever brand of music it may be. Obviously, I love blues, but I also love country music and great pop songs from the likes of Abba, Beatles, Fountains Of Wayne, Cole Porter, Irving Berlin, Gershwin. etc. Not sure where my drive comes from other than creating something you love is the greatest feeling.
"Meeting and playing with Wolf, Hooker, Son House and Buddy Guy. Not given advice but just watching how they did it and learning - Wolf & Buddy, always do it with everything you've got." (Photo: The Blues Band /GTA Music Agency)
Are there any memories from gigs, jams, open acts and studio sessions which you'd like to share with us?
Too many to list here but the most recent which springs to mind was at Vancouver Island Festival a few years ago when I got to play with Albert Lee AND James Burton. I'd played with Albert before but not James and that was a real buzz and an honour. Also as we left the stage James put his arm around my shoulder and said 'Dave man, I love your voice'. Praise indeed.
What do you miss most nowadays from the blues of the past? What are your hopes and fears for the future of?
Miss? Muddy, Wolf, Hooker etc. Fears? too many widdly widdly guitar heroes, overplaying and being thought of as 'blues'.
If you could change one thing in the musical world and it would become a reality, what would that be?
Get rid of TV so called 'talent' shows. Bring back lots of small live gigs for new bands to cut their teeth.
What were the reasons that made the UK in 60s to be the center of Folk/Roots/Blues researches and experiments?
I think it being after the war and some prosperity returning, also we never had or were aware of the black culture and music available before rock n roll hit and we started to research who these guys were. I remember an EP by Leadbelly suddenly appearing on the shirt tails of Lonnie Donegan, although it was of course the other way round in reality. The folk club scene was great in the UK from the early sixties as folk got to learn how to pick guitars. I remember Paul Simon being around for a while on the folk club scene before he was 'Homeward Bound'. Also, interesting that Jimi Hendrix made it in UK before being exported back to the States (same as the blues).

(Photo: Dave Kelly)
Which meetings have been the most important experiences for you? What was the best advice anyone ever gave you?
Meeting and playing with Wolf, Hooker, Son House and Buddy Guy. Not given advice but just watching how they did it and learning - Wolf & Buddy, always do it with everything you've got.
What are some of the most important lessons you have learned from your experience in music paths?
Take nothing for granted. No use crying over spilt milk.
What is the impact of Blues on the socio-cultural implications? How do you want it to affect people?
I don't know really. But I guess in the States it certainly helped kick along racial equality, however kicking and screaming. I want it to move people as any good art should. Great music, paintings, films etc can still make me cry.
Let's take a trip with a time machine, so where and why would you really want to go for a whole day?
I want two days please. First I'd get into that car at midnight with Owen Wilson in Paris in the 20's and on the way back to the present I'd stop at Clarksdale in the mid 30's also John Steinbeck would happen to be visiting there on the same day and we'd meet up. Can you arrange it please?

Q: PHP/jQuery AJAX algorithm only working every other time I am trying to build a page that uses jQuery to call a database every second and return the highest numbered row.
The jQuery code is below (this is in $('document').ready)
    var id = 0;
    $.post('check.php', 'id=0', function(data){
         id = parseInt(data);
         $('h1').text(data);
    });

    var timer = setInterval(function() {
        $.post('check.php', 'id=' + id, function(data){
            if (data != '')
                $('h1').text(data)
            else
                $('h1').text("NOTHING!");
        id = parseInt(data);
        });
    }, 1000);

And the PHP file, check.php, has the following code (after connecting to the database):
$id = $_POST['id'] - 1;
$query = "SELECT * FROM testtable WHERE 'id' > $id ORDER BY id DESC";
$result = mysql_query($query);
$row = mysql_fetch_row($result);
echo "$row[0]";

When 'id' is the first column.
The highest row number right now is 13.  I would expect it to send 13 to the PHP file.  $id would then be 12, so it would select all rows with id values higher than 12, returning the row with id value 13.  Then it would echo "13", which is sent back to jQuery, which is parsed to an integer, making id equal to 13.  Then 13 is sent to the PHP file again a minute later, and the process cycles.
What's actually happening is that it's alternating between displaying "13" and "NOTHING!", and I can't figure out why.

A: Because select * from tesstable where id > 13 will always be an empty result if 13 is the highest id. What you want is this:
select max(id) as id from testtable
You don't have to send back $id, and if it's got an index on it, this query will return very quickly.
Also, your original query has the column id in quotes, not backticks. You're comparing the string "id" with your variable $id. To top that off, you're susceptible to SQL injection here, so use mysql_escape_string, PDO, or remove the variable reference altogether using the max query provided.

A: I'll suggest you to do it like this.Try it.And tell if it's working.
   var id = 0,count = 0;
        $.post('check.php', {id:0}, function(data){
             id = +data["rows"]; // Try parse or just a +
             $('h1').text(data);
             count++;
        },"json");

        var timer = setInterval(function() {
            $.post('check.php', {id:id-count}, function(data){
                if (data["rows"] != null || data["rows"] != "")
                    $('h1').text(data)
                else
                    $('h1').text("NOTHING!");

            id = +data["rows"];
            count++;
            },"json");
        }, 1000);

$id = $_POST['id'];
$queryString = ($id == 0) ? "'id' > $id" : "'id' = $id";
$query = "SELECT * FROM testtable WHERE $queryString ORDER BY id DESC";
$result = mysql_query($query);
$row = mysql_fetch_row($result);
echo json_encode(array("rows" => "$row[0]");

The Jewel started out as a cyclecar powered by a 10hp air-cooled V-twin Precision engine, with 4-speed friction transmission and chain drive. There was nothing unusual about that, but John Wood continued to make its successors for nearly twenty years, yet never formed a company. The first car had a bullnose radiatior which was replaced in 1922 by a flat design with a 1088cc 4-cylinder Alpha engine.
By 1925 he was using a 1247cc 4-cylinder Meadows engine, and had abandond the friction transmission and chain drive for a conventional 3-or 4-speed gearbox and Moss spiral bevel rear axle. It was quite a large car, in 2-or 4 seater tourer forms at £245 and as a 3-door saloon at £295.
Wood clearly did not make a living from car manufacture, and he also did contract machining for Jowett, assembled tracks for Bristol tractors and engaged in general garage work. After the war he made caravans to special order, building the complete caravan including plumbing for hot and cold water. In 1962 he sold the business to the Yorkshire and England cricketer, Herbert Sutcliffe.


Oberlin topped Wellington on the road, 60-49, as they picked up their second-straight win of the week.
With the win, the Phoenix improve to 6-12 on the year, and 6-8 in the Patriot Athletic Conference, while the Dukes drop to 10-10 and 7-7 in league play.
Oberlin throughout the game never lost a quarter, shooting 17-of-36 from the field despite Wellington, who went 18-of-28. The Dukes went 7-of-17 from the free throw line compared to the Phoenix, who shot a tick better, going 14-of-26.
As for Oberlin, they battled with foul trouble in the first half racking up a total of 11 fouls, despite going into halftime with a, 30-25, lead, while shooting 10-of-23 from the field.
The Achilles Heel all game long for the Phoenix was their guard play, as freshman Andre Yaber led all players in the game with 23 points followed by sophomore Giles Harrell with 10 points and Mikah Jones-Smith with eight.
Rebounding proved to be another key component for Oberlin, as they hauled in a total of 24 rebounds, with 16 of those coming in the first half.
Meanwhile, Wellington seemed to be having trouble with boxing out and fighting for rebounds all game long, as they picked up a total of 22, only nine of them coming in the second half.
Leading the way on offense for the Dukes was senior Ryan Whitaker with 18 points followed by a double-double from junior Noah Diermyer with 10 and 10.
However, despite just two games remaining in the regular season for the Dukes, they look to finish off strong heading into the playoffs but have lost four of their last seven games.

6 Books That Have Given Me All the Feels This Month
As the summer's gone on and on and we're still hunkered down at home, I've spent most of my time buying books, scouting new books, reading more books, and even building a new bookshelf to house my new additions. With each new book I've completed, I've fallen deeper into each story's world and the emotional complexities of each story and character.
So, welcome back to Miranda's Book Nook with some more of my latest book recommendations. I hope you find these books as engaging, fun, and comforting as I have.
Big Friendship by Aminatou Sow and Ann Friedman*
This five-hour audiobook was honestly like a free therapy session about your friendships, and a much-needed one. The authors and narrators, Aminatou Sow and Ann Friedman, bring the conversational tone of their "Call Your Girlfriend" podcast to the audio recording of their memoir and self-help book. Sow and Friedman get everything right about the importance of meaningful friendships, shine theory, the complicated friend web, and the stretch. It makes you want to reach out or give your friends a hug because friends are truly some of our most important relationships we'll ever have.
As an audiobook, it doesn't sound like a traditional book on tape, but rather, these ladies use their podcast experience in a way that feels relatable and authentic. Sow and Friedman read the book themselves, with the subjects they interviewed in the book reading their research or anecdotes that make it feel more reliable and genuine. It totally sounds like a podcast, which makes it super easy and engaging to keep listening, with easy to digest, bite-sized chapters.
The story starts at a point where their friendship has stalled after years together and working as a team, and how they both wanted to work on it. It's proof that all friendships may need repair, but if it is worth it, then you work on it, Certain sections, okay fine, the whole dang book, hits deeply to your core about emotional topics, especially hearing about ending toxic friendships. We've all ended friendships that didn't provide what we needed, and it makes you think if that decision was made too hasty or if this could have been a big, meaningful friendship if we tried harder, and all that thinking is making me emotional because I get it.
The Heir Affair by Heather Cocks and Jessica Morgan
Okay, I've been waiting for this book for what seems like forever, or however long since Cocks and Morgan first announced they were writing a sequel. Their first regal read, The Royal We, tells the story of Rebecca (Bex) and her royal love Prince Nicholas (Nick) and ends with a private wedding ceremony the night before the big day and a royal pain of a paparazzi threatening to expose Bex's past with her new hubby's little brother. So, already, you know there's A LOT going on.
This book picks up weeks after their less-than-perfect big day as Nick and Bex are away in Scotland on a self-imposed exile to ride out the scandal. However, when a family crisis forces the newly minted Duke and Duchess back to London, the temporary solutions to their marriage issues threaten to come unglued as they face real shit together and individually. Okay, summary over and it's time for my thoughts. First, I swear, If Nick and Bex didn't end up happy together by the end, I was going to actually kick off. Like Nick made my list of Top Book BFs, so he better not muck that up and make me regret that decision. Then, I kept reading and OH THANK THE HEAVENS, I can breathe. And how he was really, truly there for her when she needed him most after suffering a miscarriage. I knew, I always liked him. Also, my favorite character is hands-down the Queen Mum Marta. I love her as she's just chilling in the palace, tweeting and clapping back anonymously, and thirsting after celebrities on TV. She's the best. And then Queen Eleanor once she wakes from her stroke, like that b*tch is feisty and strong, and yasss, I love to see it.
Overall, everything is so juicy yet full of raw, vulnerable emotions. That, and it's just so fun to get lost in, which I did for the full day that I read and finished it the first time. Then, the ending and epilogue, it' the absolute perfect conclusion to Nick and Bex's story. I mean, I'd love a full series for selfish reasons, but that's because I've fallen for Nick and Bex as characters and don't want to leave their world just yet. Seriously, I just want to find out what's next for the family and if Georgie and Maggie grow up as besties, have more siblings, or move to Iowa. I'd love any more content that they'd give us, but if not, I feel completely satisfied and content but the ending we got in THA.
Here to Stay by Adriana Herrera*
Here's a fun, indulgent, slow-burn romance read that follows protagonist Julia as she moves to a new city for her boyfriend and a dream job. Soon after the big move, the boyfriend dumps her, and then her dream job is in jeopardy of being cut by management. To figure out the company's next steps, management hires consultant Rocco Quinn to suss out the essentialness of the company programs. And side note, that name. I mean, Rocco Quinn? Individually, they are both quite "hot guy" names, and like this dude has two of them, so he must be like mega-hot, for sure.
Rocco and Julia have a bit of back and forth banter, and naturally, he's gorgeous to look at, so things get flirty in true romance book fashion. Julia's tasked with showing him around the nonprofit program she runs to illustrate that they should keep it going. However, since his job is likely to cut it, she's poised to dislike him. This is made even more difficult because she fancies the pants off him, and vice versa. With back and forth perspectives, readers see both sides of the story and how they both feel this strong connection and pull even though they shouldn't, and we get a delish enemies to lovers trope. (It's my favorite!) Rocco has a promotion on the line, which could help his family and so he must figure out if Julia's a distraction getting in his way or if she's The One. It's a fun romance read, sure, and it's sort of a slow burn because they are terrible at hiding their flirtation and it picks up steam very fast along the way. Then, what was supposed to be a fling with a shelf life soon gets complicated because they both catch feels in this predictable romance novel. Yet, it was very sweeping and indulgent. That ending was so damn cute, I can't ignore that. Gotta love a sweet, adorable HEA where everything works out.

Love Your Life by Sophie Kinsella*
We've got a five-star read, y'all! In this lighthearted, fun novel, we follow protagonist Ava as she prepares for an Italian writing retreat to finish writing a book following a disastrous string of bad dates and relationships. She's going there to strictly focus, however, all that goes out the window as soon as "Dutch" saunters into the retreat.
This book has such an engaging tone and perspective that keeps me reading into the wee hours, because she's such a relatable lead and I need to find out what happens next. During her anonymous (no personal information given) romance writing retreat, Ava as "Aria" is so taken with this "Dutch" guy who isn't good at writing or his words but is willing to learn. They can't reveal any personal details about their real lives, yet these two keep flirting and it's getting precious. It's a cute, steamy, fun, and indulgent holiday romance, that's so fun and enjoyable to read that I finished in a single setting.
Aria and Dutch have such an undeniable pull and connection, which makes for a sweeping romance. The holiday part only lasts for the beginning, and most of the story sees them attempt to bring their holiday fling back to their vastly different real-world lives in London — dogs, jobs, exes, family, and all. Outside the retreat bubble, Ava and Matt (his real name) try to meld their lives and figure out if their vacation love is enough to last. The rose-colored glasses of their holiday romance wears off quickly, but neither of them want to split because they believe they are meant to be and this is real, despite being polar opposites in nearly every sense. Together, they've managed to expand each other's views, and that's real love: That you can accept that what you think isn't the end-all-be-all that you think it might be, but rather that they could try something new and still accept one another. It's like more than just a romance between Ava and Matt, but as they make each other better as individuals and it's just cute as hell. But side note, I nearly screamed out of sadness if anything tragic was about to happen to precious pooch Harold at the end. That was the most emotionally traumatizing part.
It's not an easy love story, because, hey, life isn't easy, and I think that's why I loved it so much. It's honest, vulnerable, and authentic. It's funny, witty, romantic, emotional, and heartfelt. So many emotions in one book and that's why I fell hard for this book. Wow, just incredible. It's not just a happy, sugary-sweet romance, but we see raw emotions and growth from both sides, and that's what makes it special. I didn't want the story to end, I wanted more and just to see where else their love story and journey goes whether together or apart, well, hopefully together, because that ending was precious. This book gives me all the inspiration to write more, finish more, and move past my own seemingly crippling case of writer's block, so double win.
Rent a Boyfriend by Gloria Chao*
This was an adorable and fun YA romantic fiction read. Here, Chloe is home from college over the holidays and hires a fake boyfriend to impress her folks, and oh, I can tell we're going to get a delicious fake dating trope. Oh, how I do love them in romances. Both her and Drew (her hired fake BF for the weekend) have notable points of view that are both interesting and sharp to follow. The two couldn't be more different, yet somehow, opposites attract and they end up seeing each other for real and not just as hired, naturally. Then, their text conversations are like typical YA-level cute. When real Drew and Chloe start dating, it's precious, although there's that classic secret dating trope. Sure, they have a cute love story by the end, but the real love is Chloe accepting, loving, and owning herself first. It's cute and great to see an in-depth look at Chinese-American culture, especially for potentially unfamiliar readers. It's always interesting to learn about other cultures, and this was an intricate immersion into seeing that.
Love & Olives by Jenna Evans Welch*
Many YA fans will instantly recognize the author's name, her now-famous book title style, and cover illustrations, and she's back with another heartfelt story. This one takes us all the way to Santorini, Greece. I was obviously intrigued by the cover alone: After all, I am a massive fan of Mamma Mia and dream of traveling to Greece. Then, with its 500-page length, that was definitely daunting at the start. But, it was such a quick read full of adventure, romance, and heart.
Here, Olive AKA Liv is sent to Greece for the summer to reconnect with her estranged father and help him with a mysterious project. Instead of her dad, Greek teen Theo is there to pick her up. Even though she has a boyfriend back home in the US, these two have such chemistry and banter that I smell a love triangle brewing. Also, the book is partially set in a bookstore, so it already had a small piece of my heart by the earlier chapters alone. It's a precious and cute YA read, and that's just about it. Though the title says "love," it's more about the love of family, self-love, and acceptance. But, it's giving me all of the wanderlust feels and like I just want to go to Greece now, like right now. (Ugh lockdown, boo.)
The intro of each chapter focuses on a different item from her list of "things her dad left behind" a brief flashback of the time before he split. And honestly, that sort of loses the flow between each present-day chapter and all its action. Then, in the last 100 pages or so, you see her open up and be vulnerable, as well as how this list actually makes sense, so just give this book time because it'll get to that enjoyable stage, eventually.

Our fabulous editorial assistant Jake Lowery is moving away to discover the joys of Midlands living. We wish him our very best for the future and have told him he'd better stay in touch, or else! Before he went, we asked him to share what he'd learnt during his time with the company.
After a year as editorial assistant at Sookio I've learnt a lot about writing for the web and social media. Here's what I think were the five most important lessons.
If there's one thing I've learnt at Sookio it's that quality really matters, especially in the competitive world of web writing.
Around 2 million blog posts are written every day, enough to fill Time magazine for 770 years. With so much choice readers are constantly looking for the best of the best and whatever is left over simply won't get read.
Spelling mistakes, poor research and formatting mishaps are all signs that you've not taken the time to read over what you've written, so why should your audience?
Images are like the icing to the web writing cake. If they look sloppy then your audience won't be tempted by your articles and social media presence.
The eye is naturally drawn to pictures rather than words because a picture can tell us everything we want to know in a matter of seconds. Using relevant, high-quality images on your blog posts will give your readers an instant impression of what the post is about and how good it will be.
Branded images with a consistent style and colour palette can give your social media presence a connected, well-structured appearance too. Remember to carefully choose which images your links pull through as well as your profile pictures and cover photos.
So get to grips with Photoshop and know your image dimensions if you really want to impress people. Just make sure you're not stealing images accidentally first.
Some of the biggest (and most hilarious) mistakes I've noticed people making on the web have been in email campaigns.
Newsletters are tricky things because, unlike articles and updates, there's no edit or delete button to save you from humiliation if you've made a gaffe.
To be extra certain that I'm not talking about the 'whores of Mamara Sea' or addressing the 'man of the house' in my newsletters I send drafts at least twice – usually thrice – to myself, checking the message is right, the spellings are correct and the links go to the right places.
Read: Newsletter gaffes: What do you do if you make a mistake?
It's not just about what you say, it's also about how you say it.
Line breaks, colons, dashes and other punctuation marks can make all the difference to your blog posts and social media updates – especially in meta descriptions and tweets where the character limit is minimal.
Adding a few marks in just the right place can make your writing more eye-catching and digestible. And whoever said you have to stick to rules? Get creative!
Fact finding and research can go a long way, especially if you're no expert on the subject you're writing about.
From insurance to eye disease, celebrity news to local tourism, my time at Sookio has seen me writing about a huge range of topics (many of which I've known little about beforehand).
Regardless of how much background knowledge you have, giving twenty minutes to research can give your article that something extra and can help set it apart from the millions available around similar subjects.
One real benefit of fact finding is compiling a list of statistics and figures. These are fantastic tools for using on social media sites because people love numbers and they're usually short enough to pop into a 140 character tweet.
At the end of the day it doesn't hurt to learn something new – I can now effortlessly list animal eye facts, and isn't that what it's all about?

Q: SQL server 2008 R2 with IIS on same machine and mirroring I want to install SQL server 2008 R2 and IIS on same server with a mirroring configuration with principal/mirror/witness setup. Both principal and mirror servers will have IIS and SQL server.  My question is twofold:
1) Will additional ram to the principal server be enough for smooth operation? Here we can assume a payload of about 50-100 http requests per second and flat database structure. Storage is RAID 5 or 10. Will it be better to have more than one CPU, is one multi-core CPU good enough?
2) Will automatic fail-over work for IIS as well as SQL server? for example if IIS crashes (or something else in the OS besides SQL server (some service, power supply, etc...,  but no hard-disk failure)).
Thanks in advance.

A: If your budget and timeline allows it, I would strongly suggest separating the IIS and SQL Server onto two separate servers - virtualisation is fantastic for this. On the one hand, IIS connecting to SQL Server via shared memory is lightning fast, you've got to weigh up the security, isolation, and the pain of troubleshooting a shared box.

A: IIS is not cluster-aware, however, it supports high availability via NLB. Here's an article that may help you: http://learn.iis.net/page.aspx/511/achieving-high-availability-and-scalability---arr-and-nlb/
Regarding server scaling, additional RAM is always good, although that depends on how much you currently have, how much RAM the SQL server eats up, etc. As for CPU, I'd go for dual CPU, as it's more scalable in the future.

Miguel Angel Portugal Vicario (ur. 28 listopada 1955 w Quintanilla de las Viñas) – hiszpański trener piłkarski i piłkarz grający na pozycji pomocnika.

Kariera piłkarska
W swojej karierze zawodniczej, Portugal zaliczył takie kluby jak: Burgos CF, CD Mirandés, Real Madryt, Cádiz CF, Rayo Vallecano, CD Castellón, Real Burgos, Real Valladolid i Córdoba CF.

Choć piłkarzem wybitnym nigdy nie był, to z pewnością czteroletni pobyt w Realu Madryt przynosi mu chlubę. Już w pierwszym sezonie swoich występów na Estadio Santiago Bernabéu, Portugal cieszył się z mistrzostwa Hiszpanii zdobytego przez klub. Jednak w ciągu całej swej przygody z Królewskimi zaliczył zaledwie 27 występów, zdobywając przy tym jednego gola. Rok 1982 spędził na wypożyczeniu w Cadiz.

Kariera trenerska
Portugal rozpoczął swą przygodę trenerską w połowie lat 90. Wówczas wrócił do Realu Madryt, gdzie dane mu było prowadził zespoły B i C. W 1999 roku znalazł zatrudnienie w CD Toledo, ale po zaledwie kilku miesiącach się z nim rozstano.

Po kilku latach rozbratu z futbolem, w 2003 roku Hiszpan podpisał kontrakt z Cordobą na poziomie Segunda División. W sezonie 2005/06 zaliczył kolejny powrót do Realu Madryt B, w związku z rezygnacją Juana Ramóna Lópeza Caro. 5 lipca 2006 przeszedł natomiast do Racingu Santander, pomagając kantabryjskiemu klubowi zająć 10. pozycję na finiszu rozgrywek.

Następnie Portugal pracował jako dyrektor techniczny we wcześniej wspominanym już Realu Madryt. W listopadzie 2008 roku miał możliwość przejęcia pierwszej drużyny tego klubu, aczkolwiek ówczesny prezydent Ramon Calderón postawił na Juande Ramosa.

19 listopada 2009 hiszpański szkoleniowiec zdecydował się na powrót do Racingu Santander. Było to pokłosiem zwolnienia Juana Carlosa Mandii. Portugal podpisał dwuletni kontrakt na Estadio El Sardinero, aczkolwiek nie miał udanych początków w swoim starym-nowym klubie. W lutym 2011 roku został zwolniony z Racingu Santander po dwóch latach pracy w tym klubie.

 Puchar Hiszpanii: 1979-80

When you decide to create an estate plan it is a good idea to consider not only creating a will but to also consider other types of estate planning documents such as a trust. While you may not be as familiar with trusts as you are with wills, a trust may be a valuable tool for meeting your planning goals. A trust is a legal entity that holds assets for the benefit of another person. The person who creates a trust is referred to as the trustor or grantor, while the person who manages it is called the trustee. The trustee makes decisions as to how to manage the trust assets to benefit the people you designate as the beneficiaries. The trust agreement includes terms that inform the trustee as to how to manage the trust. As you contemplate your estate planning needs and goals, consider consulting with an experienced Westchester County Trust Lawyer who will be able to explain to how a trust works and the advantages of having both a will and a trust.
When you create a trust you transfer assets of your choosing into the trust. The trust will then hold the assets for the benefit of the beneficiaries you choose. You can transfer practically any type of property to a trust including cash, stocks bonds, other securities, insurance policies, real estate, antiques, and artwork. The type of property that you choose to transfer to a trust depends on your goals.
An attractive feature of a trust is that unlike a will a trust is not required to go through probate. Probate can be long and quite costly, particularly if your estate is large or complicated. Thus, your beneficiaries will be able to gain access to the trust assets more quickly than if the assets were passed using a will. Furthermore, avoiding probate will likely reduce the amount of administrative fees, leaving more for your beneficiaries to enjoy.
Probate is the legal process during which the New York Surrogate's Court validates your will and authorizes the distribution of your assets. However, there are several steps that are involved in probate that must be completed before your asset can be distributed. When you pass away your executor will alert the Surrogate's Court and file your will. The first job of the court is to review the will to determine whether or not it is valid. The court will make sure that the will was executed in accordance with New York law. For example, the signing of the will must have been witnessed by a minimum of two people. NY EPTL § 3-2.1(a)(4). If the judge finds anything that appears to be improper, then the judge may decline to allow the will to be probated.
If the judge determines that the will is valid, then the executor may proceed with winding up your estate. The executor will first inventory your assets and determine your estate's value. This is important as it the executor must make sure that there are enough assets to pay creditors and to distribute to your beneficiaries. The executor must pay any debts of your estates prior to paying your beneficiaries. Estates debt will include fees and expenses associated with administering your estate, taxes, as well as money owed to other creditors that file a claim against the estate. If you pass away owing a significant amount of debt, it is possible that your beneficiaries will end up with very little from your estate. Once the creditors are paid, the executor will distribute the remaining assets to your beneficiaries according to the terms of your will.
Probate can take weeks, months and in extreme cases years. Delays may be caused by a variety of factors such as disagreements with creditors and probate litigation brought on by family members, beneficiaries and others.
With a trust, however, the property that is held in trust will not be held up by probate. Your beneficiaries will receive distribution of those assets relatively quickly after you pass away.
There are several different types of trusts. The type of trust that you choose to set up depends on your goals. For example, you can set up a trust to provide for minor children or for elderly relatives. Some establish trusts for relatives who may need guidance in handling finances. A trust can also be set up to protect your assets should you become incapacitated.
QDOT Trust. A QDOT is a Qualified Domestic Trust. It is similar to a QTIP trust, but is used when one spouse is a noncitizen.
Generation-Skipping Trust. A generation-skipping trust provides a means to avoid estate taxes. Instead of leaving property to your children, the trust would be set up with your children's children as the beneficiaries. As a result, you would avoid the estate taxes that would apply if the assets were first transferred to your children.
Because of the many different types of trusts that are available it is a good idea to discuss your family's needs with a Westchester County Trust Lawyer who will be able to let you know the type of trust that will best help meet your goals given your personal situation. In addition, trusts are complicated to set up. If your trust is not set up correctly, the goals of your trust may not be realized and the financial and tax consequences may be severe. To ensure that your trust is properly drafted and executed it is important for you to have an experienced person draft it for you. The staff at Stephen Bilkis & Associates, PLLC will not only help you create a trust, we will also work closely with you to develop an overall estate plan that reflects your individual goals. Contact us at 800.696.9529 to schedule a free, no obligation consultation regarding your estate plan.
