Mildred Nungester Wolfe: 1912 - 2009
Noted Portraitist, in the Collection of the National Portrait Gallery
Mildred Wolfe was born in Celina, Ohio in 1912. She grew up in Decatur, Alabama, and graduated from Alabama's Montevallo College for Women. She studied at the Art Students League in New York and at the Art Institute of Chicago and received an MFA degree from the Colorado Springs Fine Arts Center. In 1944, Mildred married Mississippi artist Karl Wolfe, whom she first met at the Dixie Art Colony.
Working through five decades, Mildred Wolfe experimented with and mastered a variety of media: oil, watercolor, pastel, ceramics, printmaking, mosaic, and stained glass. Since Mildred was a portraitist of note, the National Portrait Gallery in Washington, D.C purchased her portrait of Eudora Welty.
After Karl's death in 1984, She shared a studio and gallery with her artist daughter, Elizabeth (Bebe) Wolfe, and was still actively painting several mornings a week until the age of 92, when ill health and frailty finally stopped her from painting. She died peacefully in her beloved home at the age of 96, in 2009. Her artwork can be found in many museums and private collections.

To help you comb through your options, we've put together this overview of 2018's best TV providers and based it on our individual, in-depth reviews of each company. We know that not everyone wants the same thing from their TV provider, so we broke it down by satellite, cable, fiber-optic, and streaming providers. We encourage you to use this as a quick comparison, and dive into our individual reviews for a more thorough rundown of the companies that catch your eye.
Within each cable system's headend facility, meanwhile, the Amiga 2000-powered Prevue Guide software overlaid the bottom half of the satellite feed's video frame with its own, locally generated listings grid. It also continuously chose which of the two simultaneously available promos in the top half of the satellite feed's picture to let local cable subscribers see, patching its audio through to them while visually blocking out the other promo (usually with text promoting the program's next airtime and cable channel). During periods where both of the satellite feed's simultaneous promos were for cable networks not carried by a local cable system, the local Prevue Guide software blocked out both, filling the entire top half of the screen with a local text or graphical advertisement instead (either an ad for a local or national business, or a promotion for a channel that the cable provider carried – displaying that channel's logo and supplementary information on the opposing sides in the upper half). The satellite feed's national scheduling grid was never meant to be seen by cable subscribers. On occasion, however, when a cable system's local Prevue Guide software crashed into Amiga Guru Meditation mode, subscribers would be exposed to the satellite feed's full video frame, letting them see not only the two disparate promos simultaneously running in its upper half, but perhaps more confusingly, the satellite transponder-oriented national listings grid in its lower half.
In designing our guide, we took all of these factors into account and simplified things, designing five bundles of online television programing—one of which, we think, will suit just about any type of TV viewer. For each bundle, we show you the price, the projected savings compared to the 2014 average basic cable price of $66.61, and how many additional a la carte TV seasons (estimated $30 per show) you could buy before cable would be more cost-effective.
RT drew particular attention worldwide for its coverage of the 2008 South Ossetia war. RT named Georgia as the aggressor against the separatist governments of South Ossetia and Abkhazia, which were protected by Russian troops. RT saw this as the incident that showcased its newsgathering abilities to the world. Margarita Simonyan stated, "we were the only ones among the English-language media who were giving the other side of the story – the South Ossetian side of the story."
Usually, the apps themselves are free. However, some networks offer paid subscription options to access certain shows or old episodes. But that doesn't mean the cost isn't potentially reasonable, depending on how many shows you may watch. For example, CBS All Access is available for as little as $5.99 per month (plus tax), which isn't bad in comparison to the cost of cable.
If you're willing to invest in a Plex Pass subscription ($4.99/mo, $39.99/year, $149.99/lifetime) you may want to go with Plex for Android instead. Plex is very similar to Kodi and SPMC, only it can do more when it comes to OTA TV. With a Plex Pass, you can turn your Nvidia Shield into a Plex Server and use it to stream OTA TV channels to all your devices.
I'm a 39 yr old single father, custody of my 3 year old, pay child support from my first marriage, (excessive amount in my opinion but I grit my teeth and persevere). Two divorces, debt from first marriage, legal fees. I've been swimming in debt for 10 years now. I'm fortunate to have a company match savings plan, and I consolidated all my debt by borrowing against my own retirement savings at 3.75 simple interest. Even having a good paying job doesn't fix the debt problem quickly however. So I have cut every reasonable corner. Cable TV was gone a long time ago. I started out with my laptop and an S Video cable to my TV. For months I would just browse the web for anything free and entertaining. Then a friend with Netflix let me "borrow� her account for a while and I got hooked on the children's content alone. $7.99/mo is a steal for the endless videos for my son, and most educational! Later I added the Hulu Plus subscription. I'm still paying only $16 a month plus $38/mo for broadband for my video entertainment vs the $120/mo I was paying for cable and Internet before. I also recently got the Roku player, and just recently downloaded PlayOn. Now a tip for computer users. You can get a USB remote keyboard and mouse. That's what I did for a year to act as my "remote control�. I still have my laptop going to my S video and use the TV screen as a big monitor. But the various devices like Roku and XBox etc are also great for practical purposes. It makes it much more like watching cable. Another tip. I have a smart phone with YouTube. During lulls at work, I comb the Internet for various websites like "Chockadoc.com� that have a library of Documenaries that they link to from YouTube. I will find a title that interests me, go to YouTube and search it, add it to my favorites, and then when I get home in the evening I access YouTube through PlayOn and watch it. If it weren't for kids programming on Netflix I'd be tempted to drop my subscription. Oh, another tip. Roku supports developers who create "private channels� similar to the way jailbroken iPhones have some great non iStore apps. One you can get is JustIn.tv …. I'm not promoting this, it's a perfectly legal streaming service for creating private streaming channels. I've seen people stream video of their pet goldfish all day. And If you are easily offended, there are other things you will see, so avoid children in the room if you are browsing the channels. But some people do stream television content. Not promoting this, but if you just HAVE to watch the Superbowl :-) oh and for some sports, Southeastern Conference football comes to mind, some networks like CBS Sports will stream live premium games. And there are always sports bars and grills that have TVs if missing a game would ruin your weekend. Cable TV would not have lost me if they'd modernize their business model to adapt to the digital age. It's too easy for them to offer packages that allow you to pick the channels that interest you and no more. Last thought. My provider allowance is 50 gigs a month. This is something you should check into because some providers have smaller allowances. Ive yet to consume all 50 in a month but I've used 80% before.

Q: Smooth transition on collapsing element with angular & css only I am trying to add a collapsable element to my app. I don't want to use jQuery or any other dependency than Angular.
I have built a very simple demo here: http://jsfiddle.net/eg69cfub/2/

I don't understand why it is so abrupt, I'd like it to be smooth.
How can I fix this please?

Timmu Tõke • August 26, 2020
Hanging out on a basketball court was never only about the game. It was about spending time with your friends and socializing. Having an activity to gather around.
In 2019, the same thing happens virtually. The activity is Fortnite, Roblox and a little bit of Minecraft.
Kids under 13 spend more time in Roblox than on YouTube, Netflix and Facebook combined. Let that sink in for a moment.
Fortnite entered the scene and blasted to 250M monthly active users in under two years. It's become a cultural phenomenon.
It took Roblox longer to reach the scale, but the numbers from 2016 onwards are astounding. The latest reported numbers were 100M active users in Q2 2019.
What makes those games so special?
They are the evolution of the basketball court. A virtual gathering place for kids these days. An activity to form friendships around.
I would argue that neither of them is actually a game. Both Roblox and Fornite are much more like social networks than they are games.
Here are 6 elements from Fortnite and Roblox that make them social.
1. It's a place
Roblox and Fortnite are true virtual worlds. More like physical places to hang out than traditional games.
In a typical shooter, the entire experience is intense, fast-paced and focused on a single goal — kill as many opponents as possible. The maps are small and focused, maximizing contact between teams. In other words — not a good place to hang out with your friends.
Fortnite takes place on a beautiful-looking island. There players can explore and take part in any kinds of virtual experiences they like.
Roblox is a platform and doesn't create any of the games themselves. Games, worlds, and experiences are created by the community itself.
Unlike in traditional shooters, in Roblox and Fortnite there's a lot of idle time between the game. Most of the time is spent on exploring the world, collecting weapons and supplies, etc. This creates plenty of empty space for a casual chat.
When a kid is playing Fortnite you will realize that they are not that concerned about the game at all. The emphasis is on catching up with friends, discussing school and the latest in pop culture.
Those games provide a safe place to hang out, experiment and mess around with your friends. It's a social place. Like a basketball court.
Viewing virtual worlds as a substitute for a physical place and understanding its social value is crucial to realizing how significant the game experience has become.
2. Content creation and content consumption
The best social platforms find a good balance between content creation and content consumption. As with Fortnite, you start off playing the game — creating content. When you die you default into watching the rest of the battle — consuming content. In most cases you're playing with friends so watching their gameplay is as compelling as playing yourself.
In addition to playing the game, Fortnite is also an awesome game to watch. It's the most watched game on Twitch, counting 275M hours watched in the last 90 days.
Sharing content and watching others play helps the community keep its culture. Helping people play the game better and teaching how to be cool in Fortnite.
Content creation and consumption have helped Epic with selling players on a digital dream. Exactly like plenty of social networks before. Even if you're a nobody from nowhere, you have a tangible path to becoming the next Ninja.
If you're good enough at Instagram, you can become an influencer. If your videos are popular enough on YouTube, you can make a living as a YouTuber. If you kill it (ha) at Fortnite, you can find yourself hanging online with A-listers like Drake. All you need is enough determination.
In Roblox, you can become one of the star creators of Roblox games and worlds, making millions even before graduating high school. In 2019 Roblox is paying out more than $100M to its 2 million creators. Most of them are under 18.
3. Community-driven
Both of the communities are driven by their vibrant communities of players and creators. In Roblox, all of the games, worlds, and experiences are created by the community itself. The players are the creators and vice versa.
Traditional gaming companies have a huge "hit or miss" risk with every title. And even then, over time almost all major games lose their popularity. Roblox is an organically evolving social platform, not a single hit gaming title. It's driven by the community and much less likely to go through the typical rise and demise cycle of a popular game. Who would know the communities' needs better than the community itself?
Epic Games is aiming in the same direction. Although Fortnite started with a "fixed" world, they have recently introduced the Creative Mode. It allows players to create their own maps, collaborate with others while building the environments. Eventually, sharing the new games and worlds with other people in the community.
They've created a persistent virtual world that's always under construction by the community itself. It's like Instagram or Twitter that you're constantly refreshing because there's always something new to see.
Fortnite helps people create meaningful relationships inside and outside of the game. Fan events and official "/Fortnite/Friendlies" which are special events where all the people in the same physical space get matched into the same game together are a great way to connect with the community offline.
4. Gets better with more users
Playing Fortnite and Roblox alone is a compelling experience. Much like scrolling Instagram or Twitter — discovering content from celebrities and influencers without having yet connected with any of your friends.
Multiplayer is even better. Winning a 100 person Battle Royale is hard. That's why it's better to team up with friends to form a squad. It's more fun and your chances of ending up #1 are bigger.
Like other social networks, those games benefit from network effects and get better with more users. If all of your friends are playing, it becomes a default place to spend time and hang out. Both Fortnite and Roblox have achieved this by being cross-platform and free to play for everyone — much like a social network. This makes it more difficult for other similar platforms to come up and compete.
5. Influences pop culture
The Fortnite culture is spilling over into the real world.
Fornite's biggest early star Ninja playing a live match with Drake and achieving 627k live stream viewers. Marshmallow virtual concert with 10.7 million attendees in Fortnite. Kanye West taking inspiration for his "I Love It" music video from Roblox. These are just some examples of how ingrained the games are already in Western pop culture.
All of this creates excitement in players even when not in the game. It's become a cultural phenomenon that kids feel they have to be a part of. Me too, actually.
6. Status mechanisms
Both of the games have made avatar customization one of the primary monetization methods.
Player's looks in the game is a status symbol. People want to customize their avatars to differentiate from others and have the coolest items. Walking around with a rare skin in the game is similar to uploading a cool post to Instagram and getting tons of likes.
The skins, in-game accessories and customization options have to be unlocked through gameplay or bought with in-game currency acquired with real money.
There's even a new form of cyberbullying that has emerged — the default skin. Players with default customizations are looked down upon in the game. It's usually a sign of a low skilled player — a noob.
The social nature of the games makes people spend time and money on acquiring cosmetic items that give no extra benefits in the actual gameplay. I guess you really don't want to be the default skin dude that nobody wants to play with.
The connections between players and their avatars will be increased further as the characters become more personal. Representing their owners' real-life appearances more accurately. This is the stuff that we are working on at Wolf3D — creating personal 3D avatars.
Both Roblox and Fortnite say they are "bigger than games".
It's difficult to see kids "graduating" from Fortnite and Roblox and moving on to traditional social media. A 2D scrollable feed of Instagram doesn't sound so exciting after having grown up in a 3D virtual world.
There is something missing in conventional social media right now. We have social networks like Facebook, KakaoTalk, Twitter and Naver for communication. But they're all based on text, pictures and movies. I think the next step is going to be having social experiences where you can get together with your friends in a virtual world, wherever you are," — Tim Sweeny, Founder of Epic Games (Fortnite)
I think this is one of the biggest opportunities in consumer internet today. Building the virtual worlds and related tech people will use for everyday online communication in the future.

There are times when you have stood in a place for several minutes looking for a taxi or a car service.
Purchasing used or pre-owned car in any location has become extremely simpler. If you cannot locate stores in your locality, a little search online will guide you to the nearest stores and their websites give an idea of the range of cars they have and the services they offer.
The used cars are a great investment that helps to save money on costly and luxurious cars. The desire to buy the most branded and luxurious car can be fulfilled by buying the used cars.
One of the best ways to save money when buying a car is to buy used cars instead of new ones.

PHOTOS: Rugby pupils win in Coventry courtroom drama
YOUNG legal eagles went head to head in their very own courtroom drama in Coventry.
Duncan GibbonsHead of Audience
Pupils aged 12 to 14 from six schools in Coventry, Warwickshire and Northamptonshire took part in an annual mock trial competition.
They each took on different roles at Coventry Magistrates Court on Saturday in the fictional case of a defendant accused of assault and battery.
Some played the prosecution and defence advocates, while others became ushers, legal advisers, magistrates, witnesses and even the defendant themselves.
A panel comprising real magistrates and solicitors scored each team on their performance.
The winners were Rugby High School for Girls, who picked up the coveted Coventry Telegraph shield for the fourth time.
The team was mentored by three of the school's previous winners, including 15-year-old Harriet Cotterell.
She said: "We're so proud of them. We know how hard they have worked."
Sarah Hyland, 14, from Cawston, in Rugby, was the team's legal advisor, and wants to become a crown court barrister one day.
The school's assistant head teacher Yvette Grogan said: "It will mean everything to them, they have worked incredibly hard and put in a lot of time and effort.
"Staff have had very little involvement."
The runners-up prize was awarded to Northampton's Caroline Chisholm School while third place went to Leamington's Trinity Catholic School.
There were also teams from Sidney Stringer Academy and Blue Coat Academy in Coventry, and Kenilworth School and Sports College.
The competition has been organised by the Citizenship Foundation for 14 years.
Local magistrate Rob Dowey, who has been involved for the past six years, said: "It shows the court system off to the young people, and gives them the confidence to speak to an audience. The standard is always good, they take the role very seriously."
Coventry district judge Ian Gillespie told the teams: "It was a superb competition. It was a very close call."

Q: What is the use of Euler paths? In real life what are the use cases of Euler paths ?

A path in a multigraph $G$ that includes exactly once all the edges of $G$ and has different first and last vertices is called an Euler path. If this path has the same initial and terminal vertices, we call it an Euler circuit.

A: Eulerian trails are used in bioinformatics to reconstruct the DNA sequence from its fragments.[12] They are also used in CMOS circuit design to find an optimal logic gate ordering.[13]

No institution is more central to a suburban neighborhood than the local school. People work and worship in different places, and many rarely venture...


Welcome to the start of another year in the life of Shotover Primary School and the amazing learners in Pounamu.
Day 1 was all about getting to know each other and getting rid of the butterflies in our tummies.
During Exploring time the children (and mentors) got to explore our space and the resources we have. All of our school values could be seen in action, what a great start to the year!

Q: Re-using Android layouts On an iphone context, when we add a view as a subview of another view, anything that happens to our subview will be handled correctly, because in the xib we say which class will be handling its actions. How can we achieve this on android? Since we don't have that kind of relation between an .xml layout and a class that uses it, how can we achieve something like that?
The main purpose is, for example: while having one common header and one common footer for the entire application, we just want to add different views to "content View" between the header and footer.

A: You you can use the layout "include" functionality. This allows you to create a layout file for your header and one for your footer, and then include these layouts into your Activity's main layout. And if you want to include the header + footer in multiple activities and these layouts have some events you want to handle, you could create a BaseActivity that handles these events, and then have your other Activities extend the BaseActivity.
Example pseudocode:
title.xml
<LinearLayout><ImageView/><TextView/></LinearLayout>

footer.xml
<LinearLayout><TextView/><TextView/></LinearLayout>

main.xml
<RelativeLayout>
     <include layout="@layout/title"/>
     <WebView />
     <include layout="@layout/footer"/>
</RelativeLayout>


I've been looking forward to it and am looking forward to it.

Crematorium information
Three Counties Crematorium in Braintree is a modern, state-of-the-art building, which was officially opened on 2 June 2009 by the Right Reverend J Gladwin, Bishop of Chelmsford.
We are able to offer increased convenience for the local community through shorter journey times as well as longer service times than other crematoria in the area.
The crematorium staff are here to help with whatever you would like for the funeral service of your loved one. We treat every family with dignity and respect, and on the day of the service we will be there to help you every step of the way.
Our chapel can accommodate larger funerals and is multi-faith; we can help you arrange the service according to your cultural and religious needs. We aim to provide the highest possible standards of care in all aspects of our service.
The crematorium also has access for the disabled, disabled toilets, a hearing loop and car parking for up to 100 vehicles.
During the Second Word War the crematorium site was used as a prisoner of war camp, housing Italian prisoners, until they surrendered in 1943, and German prisoners until 1947. None of the prisoners tried to escape and they were even allowed to leave the camp, often visiting the cinema in Braintree. A few remained in the local area following the war and one, Eberhard Wendler, who was just 17 years old when captured, placed a remembrance plaque at the official opening ceremony.
We are currently developing gardens of remembrance that will be of a high standard and provide an area of beauty and tranquillity to help families remember their loved ones.
Our opening hours are as follows:
The Office:
The Grounds:
The Memorial Office:
The toilets are unavailable outside of opening hours.
There are 100 parking spaces available (4 disabled).
We know that understanding what goes into the cost of a funeral can sometimes be difficult for families. We also recognise that understanding the overall financial implications of arranging a funeral is important. To this end we have included a downloadable price list of the services available to you.
It is important to us that any confusion is completely removed to help families to fully understand what the Cremation Fee includes, and what this means as part of the wider cost of the funeral. We have outlined the elements that are necessary to provide a cremation service to you below, although of course we would be happy to discuss any further queries you might have directly with you. You can contact us at any time to talk through any further options and any fees that might apply.
The cremation fee includes the following:
All professional services relating to the administration and registration of the cremation, in line with statutory regulation.
The use of our Chapel along with the assistance of a trained staff member on the day of the service.
The provision of music during the funeral service (please contact the Crematorium for details of our available options).
The sensitive handling of the cremation in line with environmental legislation.
The appropriate national environmental levy for mercury abatement.
The scattering or interment of the ashes within our Gardens of Remembrance, or the preparation for their removal along with a suitable container and the Cremation Certificate.
Alternatively, we will look after the ashes for an indefinite period without charge whatsoever.
We also offer weekend services, fees for which along with other available services are detailed in the PDF attachment entitled Cremation Price List
Download the Crematorium Price List 2019 PDF (0.14 Mb)
We have a number of options available to meet the ever increasing demand for this service which are detailed below.
Unattended Direct Cremation
There will be no service in the chapel and no mourners in attendance.
Sometime following the cremation, staff at the Crematorium will contact the Applicant to confirm instructions for the ashes in order to offer any further assistance. There are many occasions when families change their decision having had time for further thought and discussion.
Attended Direct Cremation
The attended direct cremation is available at 9.00am.
This option enables families to attend the crematorium to see the coffin in the chapel and be able to spend a few moments with the coffin before the leaving the chapel.
The crematorium staff will be available to help and assist you during the time at the crematorium, showing you both in and out of the chapel at the appropriate times.
Music may also be played should you wish.

Articles WHIP Sports Team
Feilx Rosenqvist and Mahindra seek to overcome late-season woes in New York
Jul 14, 2018 Jul 15, 2018 Dylan Coyle Dylan Coyle, ePrix, FIA Formula E, New York
By Dylan Coyle
WHIP Radio Assistant Sports Director Dylan Coyle reports from New York on the latest in the Forumla E World Championship title hunt
At this point, Felix Rosenqvist's strong start to the season seems like a distant memory.
After winning rounds two and three in the fourth season of the Formula E World Championship, Rosenqvist led Sam Bird by 4 points in the standings. His championship lead was no more after round four in Chile, but a strong 4th place finish kept him in the hunt with 66 points, 5 behind Jean-Eric Vergne.
He then went on to score only 20 points in the six rounds that followed.
The season started with so much promise, but numerous failures from Mahindra Racing and Rosenqvist have made it a bumpy ride down the stretch. Rosenqvist has some hope going into this weekend's doubleheader in New York, however.
"I have a lot of hunger and expectations for this race, it's our last chance to have a good result this season and be back where we were at the beginning of the year," Rosenqvist said in a press release.
Rosenqvist finished 2nd in the second race in New York last year, capping off a double podium for Mahindra with Nick Heidfeld taking 3rd.
Now, Rosenqvist sits 5th in the Driver's Championship and can mathematically finish in 2nd by the end of Sunday's race. Heidfeld struggled all season, even going three races in a row with a DNF in one stretch. He currently sits 11th with 30 points.
"We are looking to end this season as we started it: on a high," Mahindra team principal Dilbagh Gill said. "We still have fond memories of our double podium from last year, and we just need to add to those by climbing to the top step this time around."
Whether that happens or not, the season will always be one of frustration for Roesnqvist and Mahindra Racing as a whole. They sit 4th in the Team's Championship, 41 points behind D.S. Virgin. They'll be able to claim the title of "the best of the rest" if they secure 4th this weekend, but you can't help but wonder how much damage they could've caused this season without mechanical failures.
If they are able to be more consistent with the new second-generation car next season, Rosenqvist should contend for the Driver's Championship, and Mahindra should have a fair shot in the Team's Championship.
But first, they need to build momentum in New York City.

Qantas Brings Back $737 'Mystery Flights' to Unknown Destinations
Nick Hall, 4 Mar 2021 | News
After posting a record loss in the wake of the COVID-19 enforced travel restrictions, iconic Australian airline Qantas is doing anything it can to claw back revenue, even going so far as to dip into the history books for a new promotion. On Wednesday, Qantas Group chief customer officer, Stephanie Tully confirmed that 'Mystery Flights', the concept made popular back in the 1990s was set to make a comeback, giving Aussies the chance to travel to an undisclosed location.

10 Top Australian Travel Destinations for 2021 Revealed
Last operated in the late '90s, Qantas Mystery Flights have long been heralded as the heyday for Aussie travel culture, however, the latest update puts a modern twist on the venture. Where in the past travellers would turn up at the airport and be allocated seats on a scheduled flight to any of the airline's destinations, spending a day at their leisure before flying home, Qantas is now introducing a full-scale expedition. The airline is offering three dedicated Boeing 737 mystery flight experiences that will include not just the flight, but an entire day of activities in a mystery destination. That means all passengers need to do is book and turn up at the airport. Customers will have clues to ensure they know what they're signing up for and to assist with whether to pack a snorkel or sneakers in their carry-on baggage.
"Our customers tell us that where they can and can't travel within Australia has been a bit of a mystery lately," Tully said. "The vaccine rollout is bringing a lot more certainty and domestic border restrictions should soon be a thing of the past. In the meantime, these flights turn that mystery into a positive by creating a unique experience for the many people keen to start travelling again. As well as helping bring more of our people back to work, these mystery flights are another way to support tourism operators in regional areas especially, who have been hit particularly hard by several waves of travel restrictions."
The new Qantas Mystery Flights follow the airline's previous Flight to Nowhere which saw passengers hit the skies during a period when domestic border closures were at their strictest. The Mystery Flights will depart from Sydney, Brisbane and Melbourne to a destination approximately two hours from the departure place. Qantas has also confirmed that the flights will include some low-level scenic flybys of key landmarks en route.
The all-inclusive fares, which include meals and alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverage plus activities on the ground go on sale midday Thursday 4 March for travel in March, April and May. The adventures are priced at $737 for Economy and $1,579 for Business, with experiences on the ground including anything from a "winemaking course in a premier wine region" to a "gourmet lunch with musical entertainment on the shores of one of Australia's tropical island wonders".
While the news does spark a wave of nostalgic excitement, it does bear reminding that travel, domestic or international teeters on a knife's edge. Should cases pop up, as we've recently seen in New Zealand, there may be bigger mysteries to solve than just where the flying fleet is headed.

Vegan Dude's Blog: Run With the Heroes 5K - success!
Run With the Heroes 5K - success!
I ran my first 5K on Sunday! It was very exciting, even though I am very slowwwwwwww. It was great because there was a significant presence from my RunTex running group. Everyone gave it their all and deserves to be proud. Our awesome coach, boxer Alexis Camacho, placed third overall and first in his age group running it in just under 17 minutes! Wow!!! I set my first PR at 30:29 and plan on beating that at my next 5K.
I went through a range of feelings in the race. It was exciting that morning before the race. I was nervous, but I felt pretty confident that I could run the entire race. Alexis was the most excited. He was smiling uncontrollably and actually bouncing around!!! He suggested that some of us go to the front to the starting line. I didn't expect people to let us up there, but no one objected. We listened to remembrances of 9/11, as well as to a moving piece by a Special Olympics race participant, and talks by the APD Chief Art Acevedo and Austin Mayor Lee Leffingwell. Then, we lined up and were off.
Immediately after we started running, a lot of the runners behind me started to pass me. My ego started to kick in, but I kept going in spite of it. I reminded myself that I was there not to beat anyone but to challenge myself. It was hard to fight against some of the feelings, especially when I'd see a 10 year old pass me, but I tried to focus solely on finishing. Alexis was too far ahead for me to see, but every once in a while I'd see Wilson from my group at one of the loop-arounds. She was also very far ahead of me, but it was helpful somehow seeing her. Marcy, also from the group, was behind me initially. She was beside me later at a time when I was really feeling particularly challenged and was losing steam. I think she just asked, "How are you doing?" before passing me. Somehow that got me to refocus and continue. Not long after, I saw Alexis on the side telling me that I was getting close. This made me push harder, and I ended up passing about 7 or 8 people before getting to the finish line.
Jessica was waiting for me, cheering me on, as were those on my team who had finished before me. I have to say that finishing was a damn good feeling, and I can't wait to give it another go.
As far as I can remember, this is my first race ever, with the exception of perhaps some little races during a very short track stint in elementary school or informal races in PE or against peers or siblings. I wasn't very athletic, but I do remember making it to a single track meet. Unfortunately, that's all I remember. I can't remember if I ran or just sat in the bleachers. For sure, I had never run in a 5K before September 11, 2011. I'm excited to start this new chapter in my life.

Q: Is there a way to cast an IO to TaskEither I was trying to start using fp-ts and I had a really hard time with side-effects.
I wrote a little test program that will read a file, print the file to screen and return an Either<Error, string>.
I used the basic do notation as an example and ended up with a code that looks somthing like that
const program = pipe(
    TE.tryCatch(() => readFile(), () => new Error('Failed to read file')),
    TE.chainFirst((text) => pipe(log(text), TE.fromIO)),
);

This code compiles, but typescript infers that the program variable gets the type TE.TaskEither<unknown, string> and I was expecting the type TE.TaskEither<Error, string>.
Is there a way to keep the error type inside the TaskEither? Or am I using this librery all wrong?
p.s I am using fp-ts version 2.8.6

A: You can use chainFirstIOK:
export declare const chainFirstIOK: <A, B>(f: (a: A) => IO<B>) => <E>(first: TaskEither<E, A>) => TaskEither<E, A>

const program = pipe(
    TE.tryCatch(() => readFile(), () => new Error('Failed to read file')),
    TE.chainFirstIOK((text) => pipe(log(text), TE.fromIO)),
);

Now returns TaskEither<Error, string>.
You can also simplify it even more using flow:
const program = pipe(
  TE.tryCatch(() => readFile(), () => new Error('Failed to read file')),
  TE.chainFirstIOK(flow(log, TE.fromIO)),
);

Starting P6 for Williams has Albon bullish on his chances at Spa
By Chris Medland August 27, 2022 1:51 PM
By Chris Medland | August 27, 2022 1:51 PM ET
Alex Albon believes he has the car to try and hold onto a top-10 finish in the Belgian Grand Prix after qualifying in sixth place.
Williams has a quick car in a straight line, in part due to its lower levels of downforce compared to most other teams this season, and Albon duly exploited it to reach Q3 on merit, setting the 10th-fastest time in Q2. He ended the final part of qualifying in the same place but grid penalties for Max Verstappen, Charles Leclerc, Esteban Ocon and Lando Norris promoted him to sixth, and he is targeting points on Sunday.
Alex Albon gets into Q3 for the first time this year 👏
Listen to what it meant 😃#BelgianGP @WilliamsRacing pic.twitter.com/RUs3sZ94co
— Formula 1 (@F1) August 27, 2022
"The car has been feeling really good all weekend," Albon said. "We know we tend to suit the low-downforce circuits. We knew this was a chance to do Q2 but Q3 is a different ballgame.
"I feel we maximized everything today; got the tires in the right window — it's been tricky with these cars this year — got the right slipstream. We tried something a bit different in Q3 — go by ourselves, which with hindsight was a little bit worse. It feels good.
"It's a little bit unpredictable as no one has really done a proper race run this weekend, with the weather. Normally our race pace is a little bit stronger than our qualifying pace but I'm not sure starting P6 that'll be the case.
"So we've got to focus on ourselves. This circuit's not like Monaco or Zandvoort — if you're quicker you tend to be able to get past the car in front. We have to bear that in mind. We do have a slippery car, which is always going to help us to try and stay in front but regardless it's going to be a battle.
"When you look at people like Max and Charles I think they're going to be past everyone in lap five or so, so let's keep that in mind and try and get some points."
Albon split the Mercedes pair with his first run in Q3 but dropped behind them on his final lap, but says there could be a chance of getting ahead of George Russell — who he starts alongside — on the opening lap.
"When I looked at George's time, yeah if we had the slipstream and had the same routine we did in Q1 and Q2 we may have pinched it, but it's so unpredictable then. We're in the same boat as Mercedes. What you see in the unpredictability — I mean, I don't want to speak for them but tires are everything, and little differences that you're doing in your out laps is making big differences on your push lap.
"So that fine line is very tricky and I think in the race pace when everything settles down, obviously they're going to be very quick. You never know — actually they're quite draggy down into Turn 5, so we can see what we can do into there!"

Witness in Colorado Murder Case Murdered
Nate Wilde Published: March 3, 2021
Denver Police Department/Pueblo Police Department
The case of the murder of Kelsie Schelling has been plaguing Coloradans with questions since 2013 and now that her former boyfriend has been charged with the crime, a new twist has come about in the case.
A witness in the case, Roxann Martinez, was killed in a reportedly unrelated incident in Denver, Colorado on Thursday, February 25th, 2021 at around 11 p.m.
The details surrounding the murder of Martinez are, for the most part, unknown, although authorities are saying that it is unrelated to the case of Schelling's murder in which Martinez was called to be a witness.
Martinez was allegedly shot and killed at the intersection of East Kenyon Drive and South Wabash Street around 11 p.m. on February 25th.
The murder of Kelsie Shelling occurred back in February of 2013 and the victim's family members and members of the community have been seeking answers ever since her disappearance.
The murder is believed to have happened in Pueblo, Colorado, as Shelling was traveling from Denver to Pueblo to see her boyfriend at the time, Donthe Lucas, following a phone call where she told Lucas that she was pregnant with his child.
Lucas was named a suspect in the disappearance and murder years ago, but a lack of evidence prevented him from being charged for the crime. However, Lucas is now in police custody and facing charges for the murder of Shelling and their unborn child.
Lucas has pleaded not guilty to the first-degree murder charges against him but remains in custody awaiting trial.

Pacer fees shouldn't have been spent on courtroom…
Pacer fees shouldn't have been spent on courtroom technology, federal judge says
By Debra Cassens Weiss
April 2, 2018, 2:43 pm CDT
The federal judiciary violated federal law when it used Pacer fees for courtroom technology and other projects that don't provide the public with access to information stored in the courts' electronic docketing system, a federal judge has ruled.
U.S. District Judge Ellen Segal Huvelle of Washington, D.C., took a middle ground in her decision on Saturday in a class-action suit that contends Pacer fees violate federal law because they exceed the actual costs of providing the records, the National Law Journal reports.
Huvelle disagreed with the plaintiffs' contention that the E-Government Act of 2002 limits Pacer fees to the marginal cost of running Pacer. But she also rejected the government's contention that Pacer can be used to fund any payment related to disseminating information through electronic means.
Rather, the statute allows using Pacer fees for services that provide the public with access to information stored in the docketing the system, Huvelle said.
Using that interpretation as a guide, Huvelle said the fees shouldn't have been used to pay most of the judiciary's expenditures for courtroom technology, for a juror-information web page, for electronic notices sent to victims of violent crime, and for a study that provided software to the state of Mississippi for electronic case access.
The only courtroom technology expenditure that might be a permissible use of Pacer fees is digital audio equipment that allows recordings of court proceedings to be made available on Pacer, Huvelle said.
The federal courts collected $920 million in Pacer fees from the beginning of fiscal 2010 to the end of fiscal 2016, the period at issue in the case. During that time, the judiciary spent about $185 million on courtroom technology, $9.4 million on web-based jury services, $3.7 million on victim notification, and $121,000 for the Mississippi study, Huvelle said.
The suit was filed by the National Veterans Legal Services Program, the National Consumer Law Center, and the Alliance for Justice. Huvelle certified the case as a class action in January 2017.

You've gotten your DISC Profile, but how do you read it?
Once you've taken your DISC Personality Test, you can download your full DISC Profile as a PDF. Here we'll take you through each section of the basic online DISC Profile (eDISCprofile), in order for you to correctly gauge your DISC Personality Style and understand your results.
This section of the DISC Profile is an introduction to DISC Personality Styles and the basic concepts of DISC Theory. First it breaks down the basic quadrants of Dominance, Influence, Steadiness, and Conscientiousness. Each person has a unique combination of these 4 DISC Personality Styles. Next it will introduce you to your 3 DISC graphs. The 3 graphs used in the example are actually YOUR graphs resulting from one of our DISC Tests that you completed. If you would like more information on our DISC Tests and DISC Profile, you may want to consider DISC training or DISC certification offered by PeopleKeys. We also have a new Web Based Training Inititive that you can use for DISC Training from the comfort of your own office.
This section goes into great detail about the results of our DISC Tests and your resulting Personality Style. Each of the 41 style combinations have a name. If you are an SI DISC style combination, you would be referred to as an "Advisor". You'll learn your style name, receive a description of your predictable behaviors (especially in a workplace environment), your contributions to a team, motivational characteristics, possible weaknesses or areas to improve upon, and the environment in which your DISC style and similar DISC Personality Styles thrive within.
This section is a fun addition to the DISC Profile. It gives you examples of American historical characters who likely had similar DISC Personality Styles as yours. This section is typically left off of international products and reports, as the examples are not International.
This section goes into a specific breakdown of your DISC Personality Styles communication traits, including what motivates you, what frustrates you, what to do and not do when communicating with your style, greatest generalized fear, contributions to a group, and personal growth areas.
This section goes in-depth with suggestions and information about your style communicating with the other DISC Personality Styles. This section includes descriptions of the intensity of the DISC characteristics within your communication style, compatibility and tips for your style communicating with others, and a communication worksheet.
This section is only visible if you have the Team & Values addon to one of your DISC Profiles. To learn more about what the Teams & Values report can bring you, see the full description of the DISC Teams & Values report.
This section focuses on your strengths in the area of leadership. Based on the results of one of our DISC Tests, it measures your likely capability to influence others, direct others, process information, pay attention to detail, create new ideas and projects, persist and see projects through, and ability to relate to others.
This section includes the three graphs, showing your DISC Profile results. Each graph is based on a range of -8 to +8, with a middle line at 0. Anything above 0 composes your Personality Style. Your ranges below 0 also make a big difference in your Personality Style. A D-style at -1 versus -8 makes a big impact on your need for control and ability to take authority, even if it's not above the midline. Any styles above the midline rank in the order of highest to lowest.
This graph shows how you perceive that others want you to act or perceive you. This graph represents your public self, or the person you project to others. This graph is generated by the "Most" answers on one of our DISC Tests, and has the greatest potential to change over time.
This graph shows how you react in stressful situations, based on past learned behaviors. This is not a projection of any kind, but your natural and ingrained responses. This graph is generated by the "Least" answers on one of our DISC Tests, and has the lowest potential to change over time. A person's behavior under pressure might be drastically different from Graphs 1 and 3.
This graph shows how you perceive yourself. It is your mental picture of self, or self-identity. Graph 3 combines one's past learned responses with the current expected behavior from the environment. Graph 3 is generated from the difference between Graphs 1 and 2. Changes in one's self-perception can change, but are more gradual and based on the changing demands of one's environment.
This is a worksheet that can be used to promote healthy communication and interpersonal skills, helping you to maximize your strengths and minimize your potential limitations.

The Growing Uncertainty in the International Tax System
Scott Greenberg
Earlier today, the European Commission announced that it would require Ireland to collect roughly $14.5 billion in taxes from Apple, after determining that Ireland had granted Apple "illegal tax benefits" under the rules of the European Union. The decision has already ignited a fierce debate: Ireland, Apple, the U.S. Treasury, and many congressmen oppose the ruling, while advocates of higher corporate taxes have praised it.
Today's decision is one in a string of recent European Commission rulings about the taxation of American businesses that operate in Europe. For instance, in October 2015, the EC required the Netherlands to collect as much as $33 million in taxes from Starbucks. Currently, the EC is investigating Luxembourg's tax treatment of Amazon and McDonald's.
Together, these rulings constitute a worrisome trend. Increasingly, multinational institutions, such as the European Commission, are acting as the final arbiters of the international tax system. As a result, U.S. companies may face growing uncertainty in determining their foreign tax liability.
The international tax system has never been simple or perfect (far from it), but it is often predictable. Businesses operating in more than one country can rely on a network of dozens of tax treaties that define which countries are entitled to tax a business' income. Most developed countries rely on the same broad set of standards ("transfer pricing") to determine where income is earned.
Under these treaties and standards, U.S. businesses can be somewhat certain about how much they will owe in taxes to which foreign countries. Without these set rules, multinational companies would be in a tricky position: if you're a U.S. company, with factories in the U.K., patents registered in Japan, and sales in France and Germany, how would you even begin to determine where your profits were earned and who you should pay taxes to?
The business certainty afforded by the international tax system is important, because there is a large body of evidence suggesting that tax uncertainty is economically harmful. For instance, in 2004, Federal Reserve economist Kelly Deminston found that countries with more volatile tax rates tend to see lower overall investment. A more recent study found that businesses with greater tax uncertainty tended to delay investments for longer.
However, the recent decisions by the European Commission threaten to undermine the relative predictability of the international tax system. For instance, as the U.S. Treasury notes, the European Commission has adopted a different set of transfer pricing standards than those typically used by developed nations. The more sets of tax rules that businesses have to consider when making investment decisions, the less certain they will be about the total taxes they owe.
In addition, the Commission's rulings have been retroactive, requiring countries to tax corporations on their business income from previous years. Retroactive tax policies increase the overall uncertainty of a tax system, by forcing companies to second-guess whether the tax rules they operate under are liable to be suddenly reversed.
Finally, the very fact that the European Commission has now established itself as a body with ad hoc authority over the tax payments of U.S. companies is likely to increase the uncertainty that these companies face. After all, the more cooks in the kitchen, the larger the mess; the more jurisdictions that can determine a business's tax liability, the less predictable their tax payments will be.
None of this is intended to claim that the European Commission's recent ruling was wrong. I am entirely unfamiliar with EU competition law and have little specific knowledge of Apple's business finances. Instead, today's news is another example of a troubling international tax trend, which should worry anyone who cares about preserving stable, predictable conditions for international business investment.

Metro Commercial Lands The Tile Shop for King of Prussia, PA
By Metro Commercial -
King of Prussia, PA – January 20, 2012 – (RealEstateRama) — The Tile Shop is expanding the Philadelphia region, and Metro Commercial has completed a 25,522-square foot lease for the tile and floor covering store in King of Prussia, PA. The store will open this summer at 201 Allendale Road adjacent to Costco and will occupy the former Levitz Furniture.
Metro Commercial's Joe Dougherty represented The Tile Shop as the local broker in the high-profile transaction, along with Great Street Realty Partners of Chicago.
"While the space has been vacant for some time since Levitz's bankruptcy, it required a unique retailer to take this prime, well-located space in King of Prussia," says Dougherty. "With the pending expansion of the mall right across the street, this spot will be at an incredibly prime cross-road of this market."
The Tile Shop is dedicated to providing consumers and tile professionals an unparalleled selection of world-class product, showcasing the extraordinary beauty and value found in ceramic, porcelain and natural stone tile. Founded in 1984, The Tile Shop is based in Minneapolis-St.Paul and operates 47 stores in 17 states.

Summary: This walk is so convenient for those of you living in the North Leeds or Harrogate area. The starting point, Leathley is situated near to Pool in Wharfedale on the main Leeds to Harrogate road, the A658. It is near to the often over-crowded Chevin area near Otley and is peacefully idyllic with everything to offer the walker in terms of views, scenery and interesting sections including bridleways, fields, woods, tracks, beautiful villages, undulations and streams. I am confident you will enjoy this walk should you decide to do it. Leathley is a splendid little hamlet on the B6161 from Pool in Wharfedale to Killinghall near Harrogate. The road can be busy especially at the weekend but never enough to cause delays. Just outside the village towards Harrogate stands Lindley Farm, the original farm used in the Emmerdale Farm TV programme, and a familiar view of it can be seen during the walk.
Looking back to Leathley Church"
Start the walk by assembling at the little grass triangle on the opposite side of the main road to the church. Follow the Hall Lane Bridleway in an easterly direction past Leathley Hall and stay in a virtual straight line crossing stiles and avoiding tracks to your right as you negotiate Leafield Lane Bridleway with Riffa Wood straight ahead in your sights.
If it is clear look slightly right of the wood at the Arthington Viaduct structure on the Leeds to Harrogate railway link. The walking so far is flat and although you in an area close to the conurbations of Leeds, Bradford and Harrogate you feel totally at peace in the pleasant countryside surroundings.
The only distractions that may throw you back to urbanisation might be distant noise from the nearby A638 or that of an aircraft arriving or departing from Leeds/ Bradford airport. Even these disturbances will go soon as you leave the bridleway to cross a field towards Thrispin Beck. The beck is a lovely little spot to stop for a breather and drink before entering Riffa Wood. Note there are stepping stones across Thrispin Beck so consider not doing the walk in times of excessive rain. In the wood you face a slight climb but its a peaceful spell and at its best in spring when the bluebells are out forming a beautiful carpet on the ground.
The wood is short in length but with it being uphill you can take your time to enjoy the wondrous splendour of the wood and the tranquil peace it has to offer. While in Riffa Wood also take time to look for an unusual carving made out of a rock. It sits beside the west side of the track, or to your left as you walk up through the wood. The figure in the rock looks content and why not in such brilliant surroundings.
Leave the wood and enter fields of pasture. Turn left and make a slight climb into a second field to the top of the nearby land. From here look straight on towards the village of Stainburn. The walk is now slightly downhill and if you look to your right you will see the outcrop of Almscliffe Crag. Walk into Stainburn and follow the road through the village until you reach a bend in the road to your left. Leave the road and go through a field that takes you up to the church.
The church is in a wonderful setting on the hilltop. It has served the people well over the years as is shown by the epitaphs on the gravestones in the churchyard. Take some time out to read some of the poignant memorials written. It is a refreshing reminder of community spirit, a virtue I deeply believe in and one we must cherish. The panoramic views from the church are stunning on a clear day and just imagine as you look south to the Chevin Hill that just beyond is the much different chaotic world that exists in the sprawls of Leeds and Bradford.
Leave the churchyard and walk up the road for 400 yards to the village of Braythorn which in reality is a row of properties in a single line on a very quiet country lane. On reaching the village chapel leave the road and then turn left down a path that takes you down towards West Beck, alternatively titled Stainburn Gill before climbing from the gill to follow the lane a little more and then out into the open through fields and over stiles to West End Farm.
After West End Farm cross the B8181 and walk over the fields that occupy Leathley Moor in a westerly direction towards Lindley Green. You leave the fields and meet a road at a junction with a sign pointing to Lindley. Stop for a while and if you look to the south and down the fields you will see the original location of Emmerdale Farm. After looking follow the single track road to Lindley. At the village leave the road and walk down a lane for about 200 yards until you see a stile pointing you left down a hill. Follow this route to Lindley Bridge and the trout farm.
At the bridge near the farm take a break and take stock as there is only the home leg of about one mile to go. This final mile is along a stream in lovely scenery. This last leg is delightful and pays a complement to the whole walk. A distinct path follows the stream through little copses and fields where birds and butterflies are in abundance.
All too soon the path leads us out of this spot to the main road that we must follow back to the church in Leathley. Or do we? I have to say Lil and I did on the day we did this walk but some time later a local walker called Jack Chevallier worked out it would be a better finale to walk along the road a little and then cross it, using the Green Cross Code of course, to follow a path across fields from Fishpool to Hartmires and then follow the village road back to the church. Thanks Jack. (This route amendment is the one shown and available in the files available for download).
And so a fantastic and enjoyable walk is done, and one so near to the folk of the Leeds and Harrogate areas. It is getting to be popular with the increasing participation in leisure walking. It is so obvious to me why this is so...it is one of the most exceptional walks in the area. I have loved the walk which I prefer to do in springtime when the Bluebells are glistening with joyous vivacity in Riffa Wood. Simply brilliant.


Tooth restoration, or restorative dentistry, is the management of problems regarding oral health and the reconstruction of the mouth to its proper aesthetic and functional state. General dentists can perform many of the tooth restoration procedures without the need for additional certification and education. However, this is going to depend on how hard the procedure is going to be and what the dentist is comfortable with.
What Are the Tooth Restoration Options for Me?
Before deciding on a restorative dentistry approach, you will first need to consider two factors – your budget and your health. Many dentists that perform restorative dentistry will want to preserve the natural teeth as much as possible before deciding to replace with partial or full dentures. But there are times that these dentures would serve as a better option especially for those who are missing a lot of teeth or are not a good candidate for the other dental implants.
This type of tooth restoration will involve the placement of a filling into a tooth cavity that has been prepared beforehand. You can get this procedure done in just one office visit to your dentist. Your dentist will also select from a range of filling options that will suit the location and type of filling.
An indirect restoration of a tooth will involve custom tooth replacements in the form of onlays, inlays or crowns. A crown is capable of covering the entire surface of the tooth, an inlay can be found within the tooth's cusps while an onlay covers one or more of the cusp tips. This type of tooth restoration will require a person to visit the dentist more than once especially with the inlay or onlay varieties.
Where Can I Get Quality Tooth Restorations?
At Balmain Dentist, Dr Flora will advise when tooth restoration is needed to repair worn, decayed, or damaged teeth. The decayed or broken section of a tooth is removed and depending on the severity of tooth loss, either a tooth coloured composite resin is used to fill and shape the tooth to match the existing teeth or other techniques such as onlays, inlays or crowns can be used. She will ensure that the function and aesthetics of the tooth being restored.


The sales function in any organization is often shrouded in awe, mystery and frequently derision. If you were to take a snap poll of start-up CEOs and ask them which function in their organization was most frustrating to manage it would most likely be Sales. Sales is also for as long as my memory serves me been the area which is difficult to predict and while many technology entrepreneurs try and understand the process using their engineers logic, sales teams generally consider this a futile exercise – evidence of a non-sales persons lack of understanding of how sales works.
I've put this question to multiple people and roughly divide the replies into two categories – the guys who feel sales is a science and those who feel sales is an art. The guys who feel sales is a science point to logical processes such as the buying cycle, process tree, etc. while those who feel its an art form refer to superhuman achievements of the sales stars and their ability to go into any account and sell them anything no matter how illogical. I've tried to study this and come out with my own view and surprisingly its neither.
Sales in my opinion is a sport and the sales guy is akin to a sportsperson. Being a good sales guy is something in my opinion that the majority of the above average IQ population can aspire to, becoming a great sales person is a combination of genetics, personality and of course training.
Why do I say this? Fundamentally in my opinion sales resembles a sport. The most important thing to do to learn how to sell is very similar to what anyone needs to do to play a sport reasonably well. We all have heard our coaches tell us this secret repeatedly.
I'm a firm believer that any above average person can become a sales person by just practice. The Enterprise sales process is very much like a game and with thorough knowledge of the rules and practice in how to play them, anyone can become an average sales person. The big secret is that 90% of the sales people out there are just that – average sales people. They are just regular people who have learnt the rules of the game through practice. Nothing more nothing less. While they can serve, rally, topspin with ease, they can never play competitive sales.
They must must practice an order of magnitude above the rest.
They must understand the science of sales. This means yes, they have to understand prospecting, lead generation, sales funnels, the buying process etc.
They must be fully prepared with thorough knowledge of the customer as well as their own product offering similar to how the star athlete must be prepared thoroughly for the race or risk injury.
As such, these are some of the reasons why I call it the Sport of Sales. However, there is one more reason.
When you look at any star athlete speaking post winning his medals while thanking his parents and siblings, you'll always notice one person he will thank. While the cameras always focus on the star tennis player or basketball star they will frequently also show this other person. Yes. The Coach.
Without a coach who is superlative no sales person can become a sales star and sales star under a coach who they don't respect show performances that are dismal to say the least. And the coach is the reason why I again say that Sales is a sport.
The Coach in the corporate setting is either the CEO or the VP-Sales. They've got to be the coach and bring out the best in the sales team. Being there to pump them up, give them the knowledge on what to eat, what to read, how to meditate, what the sales process will look like and ensuring that the best players play and the remaining get dropped.
Just dropping a _________ via bombayite blog. I can access bombayite blog but cannot view the picnic picture that he posted. hence the comment.
I agree sales is a sport.. Thats why you dont get a ballerina to play rugby..
