Support and resistance lines conform the most basic analytical tools and are commonly used as visual markers to trace the levels where the price found a temporary barrier. In other words, where price had trouble crossing.
From a strategic point of view, support and resistance levels represent smart places to anticipate a reaction in the price of an asset, and therefore represent a basic tool in technical analysis.
Numerous traders use them, but the diversity in application and integration tell us that charting is definitely not an exact science and more of an art.
One of the most common mistakes that new traders make is buying too close to a line of resistance or selling too close to a line of support. In this page we provide enough set-ups and real time examples, to make sure you thoroughly understand this simple yet important dynamic.
Don't be disappointed if S&R lines haven't worked for you until now. You see, in reality, support and resistance are price zones, not exact numbers. This is clearly visible when switching from a higher timeframe to a lower one: an horizontal line on a weekly chart can perfectly be made by an horizontal price channel on a one hour chart.
This is why it often what appears to be a break of a support or resistance level is just the market testing it. These 'tests' of support and resistance are usually represented by the candlestick shadows piercing the S&R levels.
If the market were made by S&R lines and not by people, then the exchange rate would always rise and fall to the same exact price points, over and over again. But because that rarely happens it's important to think of support and resistance as zones on the chart where people buy and sell.
One way to induce the habit to treat S&R lines as zones is drawing them with fat lines, avoiding a fine-point trace. That way you won't fool yourself into believing you have identified the exact price at which a currency pair is going to turn around and start moving in the opposite direction. And even better: draw the lines, especially the horizontal ones using two lines, an upper and a lower one, or use rectangles to mark the zones. Your chart platform has all these fancy tools for sure.
There where the difference between the number of buyers and sellers get more remarkable, it tends to form a Support or Resistance level. Your next logical quest will be to identify them on a price chart.
Historical and potential levels, can lead to several constructs: horizontal lines and dynamic trendlines are the most used ones and can be based on significant highs and lows. Lines are also used to delineate price channels as well as classical chart figures such as triangles and wedges.
Some technical indicators can act as potential levels, such as sentiment chart, moving averages, Pivot Points and Fibonacci cycles which are commonly used in Elliott Wave analysis.
Round numbers - those quotes ending in 00 or 50- and emotional spikes are often perceived as Support and Resistance levels.
When these levels encompass a larger area on the charts technicians speak of a Support and Resistance Zone.
Once the market moves into consolidation and VWAP flattens out, it can be used to highlight really powerful support and resistance areas by tracking price against the standard deviations of VWAP.
Trading the synthetic pair can be extremely profitable if done properly. Though there are many different ways of trading the synthetic pair.

Google Straps On Jetpac to Take Search to New Heights
By Erika Morphy August 19, 2014 1:25 PM PT Email Article
The first thing Google will do with Jetpac is shut it down -- but it's unlikely that will be the last we'll see of its technology. Jetpac's quirky list of best places to visit for this and that fits well with Google's search and mapping prowess. "Google is interested in leveraging the digital infrastructure of everyday life, and this fits into that strategy," said journalism prof Rich Hanley.

Google has acquired Jetpac, according to a statement that appeared Friday on the Jetpac website.
Jetpac is the creator of a handful of apps, including City Guides, which analyzes Instagram photos and then automatically creates guides based on the collected data.
That information translates into a lot of options for users. They can find bars that attract a younger crowd, the most scenic hiking trails, or the hippest coffee shops, for example.
Jetpac has covered some 6,000 cities around the world using this approach. It analyzes "every pixel of the world's Instagram photos to give you the real picture of fun places," its website proclaims. "We can spot hipster mustaches, lipstick and the biggest smiles."
City Guides and Jetpac's other apps will be removed from the iTunes App Store by September 2014. Jetpac's staffers will reportedly join Google's Knowledge team, which focuses on real time search.
Your Life, Digitally
Google has not said what it will do with Jetpac's technology or talent. In the big picture, almost any tech acquisition is a viable one for Google, considering its very broad approach to market.
"Google is interested in leveraging the digital infrastructure of everyday life, and this fits into that strategy," Rich Hanley, associate professor and director of the graduate journalism program at Quinnipiac University, told TechNewsWorld.
However, close scrutiny of the intelligence Jetpac has built around its photo analytics and aggregation tools leads to a number of interesting ideas about what Google might have in mind.
Jetpac's real-time local object recognition could, be applied in Google Glass or Goggles, for example. It also could be used to enhance Google's image search.
Google could use Jetpac's foothold in the travel industry to push further into that space, much to the industry's chagrin. Earlier moves by Google to develop greater creds in travel were met with dismay and resistance.
When Google announced in 2010 that it would pay US$700 million to acquire ITA Software, the travel industry formed a group to block the sale. That effort ultimately failed when the Department of Justice approved the acquisition the following year.
Jetpac's quirky list of best places to visit for this and that also fits well with Google's search and mapping prowess.
Another Acqui-hire
More than likely, though, Google's acquisition of Jetpac is about the talent.
"The Jetpac acquisition by Google is apparently one of these "acqui-hire" events," said Vlad Zachary, director of omni-channel at Upshot Commerce.
"There is no immediate business play, and the plan to shut down the app by mid-September shows that the Jetpac team and perhaps some of the Jetpac algorithms for analyzing visual data are the real targets here. We can speculate that Google is coming out with a similar service, but that's all it is — just a speculation," he told TechNewsWorld.
The one bit of speculation that has been circulating and that makes sense, Zachary said, is the idea that Jetpac will be integrated with Google Maps.
Google Maps has outgrown the standard definition of "location app" and is used more for navigation, he observed. "Increasingly, they offer value-added search, which includes local landmarks, small businesses, and yes — pictures."
For instance, if you were in the Boston area and typed "concerts" into the Google Maps search field, you would get a list of attractions that included all types of venues — from pubs to the Gillette Stadium, Zacharay pointed out.
Then, if you tapped on the entry for Gillette, you would find reviews, distance from current location, user pictures, and tons of other information.
"Can the team from Jetpac help use this information better?" Zachary mused. "I would bet on 'yes.'"

The Films you Need to Watch in Cinemas this Month
Margot Robbie as Annie in 'Terminal' | © RLJE Films
Cassam Looch
Film Editor28 June 2018
As the World Cup begins to wind down, so the cinema schedules start to hot up with some unmissable movie selections suitable for all tastes. There are sequels, animations, action movies and a spectacular singalong with ABBA…
This year marks the bicentenary of Frankenstein, a novel written by Mary Shelley when she was just 20 years old. Elle Fanning stars in the titular role with Douglas Booth playing her husband Percy Shelley. The relationships between the pair is said to have resulted in one of the most influential novels of all time, a horror classic that appeals to modern audiences as much as it did to those in 1818.
Margot Robbie dons an English accent to play a waitress leading a double life as an assassin. The sprawling, unnerving city at the heart of Terminal is a neon-infused nightmare populated by rogues and troubled souls. When another assassin arrives on the scene, Robbie's Annie finds her latest target tough to finish off.
The second documentary on the American popstar in less than a year, this release promises more access to those in the know and a shocking revelation from the past. The enduring popularity of Houston is undeniable, and you get a real sense of just how talented and tragically troubled she was.
Die Hard meets The Towering Inferno in another preposterously bombastic blockbuster from Dwayne Johnson. Last time we saw the star take on a giant ape, a huge alligator and an overgrown flying wolf in Rampage (2018), and now we get even more thrills and spills. The plots always seem to be too farfetched in Johnson's movies, and yet his natural charm and charisma are just enough to win over the doubters. Besides, if anyone can put out a raging fire while fighting off a bunch of terrorists (on one leg no less!), it's The Rock.
Fourteen years on from the original, Pixar's sequel to its superhero-themed animation picks up the action exactly where the last film left off. In one of many neat touches to the film, the studio took great care in maintaining a retro feel with its visuals. Incredibles 2 has been a huge hit on release in North America, proving that there is no sign of our fascination with Pixar or superhero films going away any time soon.
Racer and the Jailbird
The Belgian entry for Best Foreign Film at the last Academy Awards, this fast-paced drama deals with the unlikely relationship between a race driver and a gangster. Set in Brussels and starring French actress Adèle Exarchopoulos and Belgian actor Matthias Schoenaerts, the movie showcases the attractive pair as well as all sides of the city.
Something a little different from the traditional Bollywood fare, this is real-life story of triumph over adversity. International hockey star Sandeep Singh was one of the best known stars of the sport in his native India when an accidental gunshot left him paralysed and confined to a wheelchair. Told he would likely never walk again, not only did Singh make a full return to health, he also fought his way back into the national team and won several honours as captain and specialist penalty-taker.
Spanish horror films have been all the rage for a while now. Known as The Secret of Marrowbone elsewhere, this film has been on the festival circuit for a while and tells the chilling tale of a family moving to a rural part of American in 1969. The children of the group have to care for one another, with the help of newcomer Allie, after an unexpected turn of events. The presence of the new 'queen of scream' Anya Taylor-Joy suggests plenty of frights in store, and the setting is ripe for the genre.
Jodie Foster is a rare screen presence nowadays, which makes her appearance in Hotel Artemis all the more exciting. And director Drew Pearce has a mighty supporting ensemble, too: Jeff Goldblum is a nefarious mob boss, featured alongside burly Dave Bautista (Guardians of the Galaxy 2 (2017)), the superb Sofia Boutella and Atlanta star Brian Tyree Henry.
Mamma Mia: Here We Go Again!
Here we go again indeed… get ready for more singalong fun as the ABBA-inspired antics of Meryl Streep and her pals are back, and this time with a hint of time-hopping thrown into the mix. We're not talking Back to the Future, however, more flashbacks to how the this bunch of friends met in the first place. Lily James has the unenviable task of playing a younger version of Streep's character, tough purely because of the high esteem in which the star is held. Regardless of how good (or bad) the film is, we know the music will be cracking.
Hotel Transylvania 3: A Monster Vacation
Hotel Transylvania 3 star Adam Sandler may not have best reputation these days thanks to a recent track record for horrible films, but this series has a great reputation. Not only are the films in this franchise good, they also make money. Expect more of the same in terms of supernatural comedy and heart-warming family drama, and a particularly enjoyable turn from Selena Gomez too.
Mission: Impossible Fallout
One of the most bankable franchises around, Mission: Impossible is back for its sixth instalment and star Tom Cruise shows no signs of slowing down with the high-risk stunts that have become a trademark of the series. The films are slick, packed full of breath-taking action and boast the sort of globe-trotting that would make even James Bond envious. Along for the ride this time is Henry Cavill, who sporting the moustache that caused so much trouble for the Justice League (2017) production team, who had to digitise out the offending facial hair for re-shoots.

Will Disney's ESPN Be Added to Hulu's Rumored Online TV Service?
By Shirley Pelts
Hulu expected to launch an online television service
Early this month, the Wall Street Journal reported that Hulu was developing an online TV service. The service is expected to be launched in 1Q17.
The report states that the Walt Disney Company's (DIS) ABC, ESPN, and Disney Channel and 21st Century Fox's (FOXA) Fox News, FX, and regional sports networks are also expected to be available on Hulu's online TV service.
Hulu is jointly owned by Disney, 21st Century Fox, and Comcast's (CMCSA) NBCUniversal. Disney's ESPN is a part of skinny bundles such as Dish Network's (DISH) Sling TV and Sony's (SNE) PlayStation Vue.
Disney is pursuing a skinny bundle strategy for ESPN as Millennials move away from pay-TV. Bob Iger, Disney's CEO, mentioned ESPN's being included into skinny bundles at a Deutsche Bank (DB) investor conference in March 2016. Iger stated, "It's also important that ESPN be present in the skinny bundles whether they are 2 million of them, 5 million of them, 10 million of them we don't know. But ESPN should be part of those."
As the chart above indicates, the number of subscribers for ESPN fell from around 99 million in 2013 to 92 million in 2015.
However, during Disney's 1Q16 earnings call, Iger noted that ESPN has started to gain subscribers over the last few months. He credited this rise to the inclusion of ESPN in Dish's Sling TV OTT (over-the-top) service.
Why is ESPN interested in skinny packages?
One of the reasons consumers are moving away from pay-TV is the cost factor. While a cable connection costs anywhere from $100 to $150 per month, skinny bundles such as Dish's Sling TV are far cheaper at $20 per month. Companies are also offering skinny bundles due to the rise of pure-play OTT operators such as Netflix (NFLX).
Netflix's plans average ~$10 per month. Millennials, or those in the 18–34 age group, tend to prefer OTT operators over pay-TV services due to Netflix's original, ad-free content. Many of these Millennials have either cut the cord on pay-TV or have never subscribed to pay-TV. Pay-TV operators have started to offer skinny bundles of channels to woo Millennials back to pay-TV.
Netflix makes up 0.8% of the PowerShares QQQ Trust, Series 1 ETF (QQQ). QQQ holds 4.3% in the television sector.

Shooter Mistakes Man for Sasquatch
"I thought you were Bigfoot," the victim says the shooter told him. "I don't target practice—but if I see something that looks like Bigfoot, I just shoot at it."
By Joseph Albanese
"When you hear hoof beats, think of horses not zebras."
That saying was coined by Dr. Theodore Woodward in the late 1940s to impress upon his medical interns that the most obvious and common diagnosis is the most likely. Being in Maryland, horses far outnumber any zebras and, short of any Monty Python re-enactors, any hoof beats are likely to be caused by the beast of burden.
But that sage advice allegedly didn't stop one Montana man from making wild inferences when seeing a bipedal mammal out in the wilderness. According to the Idaho Statesman, a man was fired upon by a passerby that mistook him for Bigfoot. Yeah, the mythical ape-like creature that some believe inhabits the more densely wooded portions of our country. That Bigfoot.
Lewis and Clark County Sheriff Leo Dutton told the Idaho Statesman that the 27-year-old was putting up targets outside Helena on Sunday when bullets started flying toward him, with one round coming within three feet of him and another whizzing by even closer. The man ducked behind trees for cover and eventually confronted the shooter, who was driving a Ford F-150 pickup truck.
"I thought you were Bigfoot," the victim says the shooter told him, according to Dutton's statement in the Idaho Statesman. "I don't target practice—but if I see something that looks like Bigfoot, I just shoot at it."
After the shooter was certain the man wasn't Bigfoot, he suggested that blaze orange might be a good idea to prevent such interactions in the future.
This goes without saying, but don't shoot at something just because it looks like Bigfoot...ever.theoccultmuseum.com
The Sheriff had his doubts about the encounter, noting that "there was some question about the veracity of the report" because the victim of the shooting couldn't provide a description of his would-be assailant. The police couldn't find the F-150 in question either, ABC Fox Montana reported.
But after the news hit the airwaves, a woman came forward with a similar tale, having been shot at by shot at by a man in an F-150 as well.
"We're working to find this person," Dutton told the Idaho Statesman. "It is of great concern that this individual might think it's OK to shoot at anything he thinks is Bigfoot."
The Sheriff doesn't think there's any cause for alarm, as the shooting "seems to be a localized event to one geographic area," adding that the shooter could face charges if caught.
If you're out shooting or hunting, be sure of your target and beyond. If there's any doubt, don't shoot. And if you are positive you see the potential missing link between humans and apes still don't shoot at them—invite them over for a beer and a couple selfies, because he's probably out of season.

ROUX DAT #2: Post-Game Night Thoughts From The Gumbo
Posted on November 3, 2018 June 16, 2019 by boardgamegumbo
Hey board gamers, BJ from Board Game Gumbo here, back with more Louisiana flavor and tales of board gaming. It's time for more post-game QB-ing after our Gumbo Game Night this week. Our game night on Halloween was a little slower than normal last night, which is not surprising because of the weather and because of the trick-or-treating, but we still managed three tables of gamers.
The Krewe de Gumbo loves to feature a game once a month as our "Board Game Gumbo Game of the Month." We realize that our FLGS only stays open if there is traffic to the store, with happy customers buying games, cards, paints, snacks and sodas. So, we came up with this GotM series to get some free publicity for the store, and also encourage people to try out a game we love or a game we are interested in playing.
MIND YOUR ELDERS
What better game to feature on Halloween night than Fate of the Elder Gods, designed by Chris Kirkman, Darrell Louder, and Richard Launius? The game is for 2-4 players, and plays in just a little over an hour. For a full recap of our thoughts on the game, check out our blog post here.
The designers have flipped the usual Cthulu scenario on its head. Each player takes on the role of a lodge of cultists, bent on summoning their own Elder God before their rival cultists do. Investigators are out to destroy your ability to summon your Elder God by sealing the connection. Your only hope is to visit as many of the powerful locations on the board, and grab powerful artifacts, ready spells, and disperse your many minions across the landscape. There is a lot of dice chucking and player interaction, and yes, a lot of chaos, too. But the chaos can be managed a bit through the use of the spell cards and artifact cards.
It is surprisingly deep for what is essentially a euro/ameritreasure hybrid, especially due to the multi-use spell cards. Although the decision tree is not long, making AP not much of a factor, there are still juicy decisions to make — do I ready this spell for later use (or for its value in reducing the cost of other spells), or do I hold it in my hand to ensure I can move the action piece to the spot I want on the board? So juicy.
We played with four players, which is my favorite number for this game. Bryan did a great job with the rules overview, and Adam and Ben caught on quickly. I raced out to an early lead using my elder god's Dark Gift — I could snatch up other cultists, and devour them for points. That put an easy target on my back, but having other players curse you to get a leg up is actually one of the best parts of this game. When a player is cursed, bad things happen — but the player does not know what will trigger that bad event! Only the player to the right of that player knows and has to watch out for the trigger. At one point, I had two curses going, so I knew it might go downhill pretty quickly.
And it did.
I went from zero seals on my lodge, to eight in two turns, and was fighting off any more when another curse triggered and gave me two more to end the game. Bryan snuck out the win with some heady play, getting rid of his seals right at the end. All in all, we had a rollicking good time.
If there are any complaints about the game — and these are few and far between, because the gameplay is solid, the artwork is amazing (some of it from our buddy, Nolan Nasser), and the production quality is AMAZING — it is the fact that there are three or four important but tricky rules to remember. It is not the design's fault, but some of the rules just need constant referencing, especially if you have not played in a while. Lucky for us, Chris Kirkman has a great video that explains five common rules that are forgotten, and even better, the game comes with two excellent player aids for each player that explains almost everything you need to keep the game running smoothly.
Adam and Ben enjoyed their first play. Bryan's beef with the game is that it can be very swingy, and most of the time devolves into "King of the HIll" type scenarios. Ben's only comment was that he "enjoy(ed) Fate of the Elder Gods" and that he likes "take that" games. (Well, he put it in more colorful language than that, but you get the drift.) Great way to celebrate Halloween!
Roux Dat says: I get Bryan's take, and frankly, most games end with piles of seals on everyone's boards, but I've also seen a bunch of victories come when a player develops a good engine and can churn out the summoning points needed to win. Hey, the game is basically advertised as a dice throwing, spell casting, backstabbing-the-other-cults-while-you-scramble-for-points game, so no one can say that there's any false advertising in this game. I give it fourteen smoked tasso out of eighteen sauce picantes.
A CURE FOR WHAT ALES YOU
We finished off the night with another play of Heaven & Ale, from Eggertspiele. I was the only one who had played it before game night, but luckily, it is a quick and easy teach. Heaven & Ale came out in 2017, and had a lot of good buzz when it hit the hobby. It is a single worker placement game that plays 2-4 players in about an hour to an hour and a half.
Heaven & Ale first caught my eye for the artwork, and also because it looked very thematic when it came out. I love thematic euros, but does the brew making theme really hold up?
Well…….not exactly. While the artwork on the box is gorgeous, this Michael Kiesling and Andreas Schmidt design ditches the theme pretty quickly in favor of some very interesting mechanism choices. Sure, you have a brewmaster who moves up a track ostensibly to show his prowess in brewing expertise, and I guess you are buying ingredients for the "shady" and "sunny" sides of your player board, but really it is just an efficiency engine.
Let's look at what you need to win. There are only four ways to score points: Get your ingredient & brewmaster tokens on the track high enough to get a good multiplier; Collect barrels signifying milestones along the way; Pile up some cash for a 10-1 point ratio; and finish as the last person to hold the "first player spot" for one extra point. And you have to do this faster and better than the other players to win.
Understanding the play of the game is surprisingly easy. There is only one thing you can do on your turn — move as far on the rectangle track that goes around the board as you want and take the action that you land on. There are four different actions — buying monk tiles, buying ingredient tiles, using the very limited activation discs, or claiming end game victory point barrels.
The monk and ingredient tiles that you buy will either go on your shady (normal cost) or sunny (double cost) sides, and give you back money (ingredient tiles) or moves on your brewmaster track (monk tiles) or moves on your ingredient tracks (ingredient tiles) respectively, when you activate them with the purple discs or close off an entire circle of tiles. Closing a circle also gives you the potential for moving your brewmaster even further up the track, too.
The final action is to land on one of the two barrel spots, and claim any and all of the large and small barrels that you have fulfilled with your board. There are only two of each worth either four or two points, so it is a race to be the most efficient player to earn the barrels as quickly as possible. (Well, technically, the final action is reaching the end of the board's movement track and claiming money, ingredient moves, brewmaster moves, or the right to be first player, but it is really just a benefit of passing until the next round.)
That probably seems pretty dry to some of you. If it sounds like I did not enjoy my play, I apologize, because I have enjoyed the heck out of every play so far. The Krewe de Gumbo knows that I will tolerate a lack of theme with some really strong play, and Heaven & Ale has it in the suds. The decision how far to go down the movement track, and whether someone will jump just ahead of you to take the token or disc or barrel space you really need, is as freaking delicious as eating smoked boudin on gameday. Those tough decisions have caused me to stare at a token next to the one I wanted just to try to bluff the other players into taking it instead of the one I wanted! (It did not work.)
Games like Heaven & Ale are not for everyone, admittedly. But even Ben, who loves thematic games and "take that" games, said he liked his first play. I think what would would make Heaven & Ale attractive to even ameritrash players is the puzzly nature of the game. It is similar to the decisions one makes when opening up a room in a dungeon for the first time, and puzzling out how best to take out the monsters, but instead of throwing axes at baddies, you are plotting out the most efficient way to enclose your garden shed with barley and hops.
Sounds fun, right?
And if you are into player interactivity, don't worry, there's lots of finger pointing and trash talk. Taking a tile or purple disc right before another player does just feels so smooth. You can really mess up another player's plans if you think it through.
Adam and Ben both played for the first time. Adam was content to ignore the fight between me and Ben for the 1s and 5s scoring barrels, and instead seemed to just focus on moving up his ingredients. It paid off, and he mopped up, doubling our scores. That was not too hard, because Ben and I didn't get our ingredients far enough to score any multipliers, a death knell for any plan to win the game.
Roux Dat says: This game is right up my alley. It has cool art on the cover, interesting twists on the action selection mechanic, a wonderfully delicious system of getting money and moving up your tracks using the exact same tiles, and just enough player interaction to satisfy my social needs. I'll sum it up quickly — I need more Heaven & Ale. Come find me at BGG.con and we'll get some brewing done!
TINY EPIC RULES:
The last game of the night, on a different table from ours, was Tiny Epic Zombies. Kent had two buddies join him, and it looked like they had a good time. I think they were playing the one versus many rules this time.
This was the second time I saw people playing Tiny Epic Zombies at Anubis, and both times it seems that the stumbling block for this game was rules questions. I have never played the game, so I am definitely not reviewing it here. But, Kent says TEZ needs better explanations in the rule book — about half the time, players disagree over interpretations to what is supposed to be pretty simple rules.
Roux Dat says: Hey publishers — invest in a rules editor, streamline the game, and let the mechanics get out of the way of your games! This should be an epic themed zombie fest, but it comes down to a lot of rules arguments instead. But, thumbs up for some cool meeples.
So, that's it for Gumbo Game Night and our post-game night quarterbacking session. Roux Dat will be back with more commentary and reviews about the games we are playing. Is there a game that you would like to suggest for the next Roux Dat? Send me a tweet @boardgamegumbo and let's chat about it.
Until next time, laissez les bon temps rouler!

La Fontana dell'Elefante () es una fuente monumental realizada entre 1735 y 1737 por el arquitecto Giovanni Battista Vaccarini. Está situada en el centro de la Piazza del Duomo de Catania, Italia y su elemento principal es una estatua de basalto negro que representa un elefante, llamado comúnmente u Liotru y considerado el emblema de la ciudad siciliana.

Descripción

La Fontana dell'Elefante fue realizada por Vaccarini en el ámbito de la reconstrucción de la ciudad tras el terremoto del 11 de enero de 1693. Se ha afirmado que el arquitecto palermitano se inspiró en el Obelisco de la Piazza della Minerva de Gian Lorenzo Bernini, pero en realidad la iconografía del elefante coronado por un obelisco con una esfera en la cima está documentada en la Hypnerotomachia Poliphili (Venecia, 1499) atribuida a Francesco Colonna.

El basamento está formado por un pedestal de mármol blanco situado en el centro de un estanque, también de mármol, en el cual caen chorros de agua que salen del basamento. En el basamento, dos esculturas reproducen los dos ríos de Catania, el Simeto y el Amenano. Encima se encuentra la estatua del elefante, con su probóscide dirigida hacia la Catedral de Catania. Esta estatua de época incierta fue tallada originalmente a partir de un único bloque de piedra volcánica, pero tras el terremoto de 1693 se rompieron las patas posteriores, restauradas por el propio Vaccarini con miras a su colocación en la plaza. Durante la restauración, el arquitecto añadió los ojos blancos y los colmillos de piedra calcárea. A ambos lados del elefante cae una gualdrapa de mármol sobre la cual están tallados los escudos de santa Águeda, patrona de Catania.

En la espalda del animal se encuentra un obelisco egipcio, de 3,66 metros de altura, de granito supuestamente de Asuán; no tiene jeroglíficos, pero está decorado con figuras de estilo egipcio que no constituyen una escritura jeroglífica propiamente dicha. De cronología incierta, quizá era una de las dos metas del antiguo circo romano de Catania, la otra, más fragmentada, se encuentra en el patio del Castillo Ursino. En la parte superior del obelisco se colocó un globo terráqueo, rodeado por una corona de hojas de palma (que representa el martirio) y un ramo de lirios (que representa la pureza), más arriba una tabla metálica sobre la cual está la inscripción dedicada a santa Águeda con el acrónimo MSSHDPL («Mente sana y sincera, por el honor de Dios y por la liberación de su patria»), y finalmente una cruz.

Historia

Según el geógrafo Al-Idrisi, la estatua del elefante de basalto fue realizada durante la dominación cartaginesa o bizantina. En la época en la que visitó Catania (siglo XII), el elefante se encontraba ya en el interior de las murallas de la ciudad. Habría sido llevado allí por los benedictinos del monasterio de santa Águeda, quienes lo habrían colocado bajo un arco llamado di Liodoro. En 1239 la estatua del elefante fue escogida como símbolo de Catania. Algunos sostienen que el traslado dentro de las murallas ocurrió en esta ocasión.

Por su parte, el obelisco probablemente fue trasladado a Catania durante las cruzadas, proveniente de Asuán, y colocado en el Circo Máximo, según la hipótesis de Ignazio Paternò Castello.

En 1508 fue trasladado al lado oeste (o norte) del ayuntamiento y a su lado se colocó la inscripción «Ferdinandus. Hispaniae utriusque. Siciliae. Rege - Elephans erectus fuit a Cesare Jojenio - Justitiario - MDVII». En esta colocación fue dañado gravemente durante el terremoto de 1693; el derrumbe de los edificios que lo rodeaban provocó la rotura de la probóscide y de las patas, que fueron reconstruidas por Vaccarini en 1735 por petición de Filippo d'Orville.

Hasta 1737 Vaccarini trabajó para construir la fuente, que fue completada posteriormente con el obelisco egipcio y la inscripción de santa Águeda. En 1757 fue remodelada por primera vez, para añadir un estanque. En 1826 la fuente fue rodeada por una barandilla de hierro, dentro de la cual se realizó un pequeño jardín. Poco después de la unificación italiana, se tomó la decisión de trasladar la fuente de la Piazza del Duomo a la Piazza Palestro: sin embargo, el 30 de mayo de 1862, Bonaventura Gravina organizó una revuelta popular que bloqueó el traslado.

Han sido dos las restauraciones realizadas en el curso del siglo XX: en 1905 se realizó un segundo estanque y en 1998 se eliminó la barandilla y el jardín, por lo cual actualmente es posible sentarse en algunos escalones a los pies del basamento.

El Liotru

Nombre
El Liotru (llamado también, con menos frecuencia, Diotru) debe su apelativo a la deformación del nombre Eliodoro. Este era un noble de Catania que había intentado sin éxito ser obispo de la diócesis. Caído en desgracia, se hizo apóstata y fue considerado «discípulo de los judíos, nigromante y forjador de ídolos». Se enfrentó al obispo León II el Taumaturgo, quien lo condenó a ser quemado vivo en el Forum Achelles. Este personaje está relacionado con el elefante porque según una leyenda él fue su escultor y además lo montaba a menudo para desplazarse de Catania a Constantinopla. También según la leyenda, el obispo León habría hecho trasladar la estatua fuera de las murallas para hacerla olvidar, pero el pueblo le habría rendido igualmente honores divinos.

Origen
No hay datos ciertos sobre cuándo y quién realizó la estatua del elefante. Con el paso de los siglos, varios estudiosos han intentado dar una respuesta a esta pregunta, en algunos casos basándose también en el mito. Entre estos se recuerda a Pietro Carrera, quien en 1639 escribió que el liotru recordaba una victoria en una guerra entre los cataneses y los libios. La historia, que el pintor Giuseppe Sciuti inmortalizó en el gran telón histórico del Teatro Massimo Bellini, es sin embargo totalmente inventada.

Más verosímiles fueron las teorías concebidas por Ignazio Paternò Castello, Santi Consoli y Matteo Gaudioso. El primero sostenía que el elefante provenía de un circo (posteriormente se comprobó que en realidad era el obelisco el que estuvo en un antiguo circo), los dos últimos que era el recuerdo de una religión de la que actualmente se han perdido completamente los rastros.

Actualmente se acepta la interpretación dada por el geógrafo Al-Idrisi durante su viaje a Sicilia en el siglo XII. Él informó de que los cataneses consideraban al elefante una estatua mágica que protegía la ciudad de las erupciones del Etna. También según el geógrafo árabe, la estatua fue construida durante la dominación cartaginesa.

Relación del elefante con la ciudad
La relación entre Catania y el liotru es muy antigua. Una antigua leyenda narra de un elefante que habría cazado animales feroces durante la fundación de Kατάvη. Bajo la dominación árabe, la ciudad era conocida con el nombre de Balad-el-fil o Medinat-el-fil, es decir, «ciudad del elefante».

El Liotru no se convirtió en símbolo oficial de la ciudad hasta 1239: hasta entonces, el emblema de la ciudad era la efigie de San Jorge. Los cataneses decidieron cambiarlo tras una serie de revueltas para poder pasar de simple dominio de un obispo-conde a ciudad demanial. Tras el fracaso de los motines de 1195, 1207 y 1221, se consiguió con la concesión oficial firmada por Federico II. El primer uso «oficial» del nuevo símbolo se produjo en una reunión del Parlamento en Foggia en el año 1240.

Posteriormente, el paquidermo fue incluido en el escudo de la ciudad, el de la provincia y el de la universidad y actualmente es la mascota de los principales equipos deportivos de la ciudad, entre los cuales el Calcio Catania y el Amatori Catania.

At the office… can't think..not in the mode to do anything…. browsed to Bu Yousef and he still have the Fasting is Easy post, i start googling coffee and fantasizing about my next indulgence with Cappuccino -my best companion- after Foutour.

Students of grade 9 visited and explored botanical garden to study about different varieties of plants on July 5, 2018 on Thursday. Classification of plants is considered to be one of the major important content of biology for grade 9 students. Besides they observed and collected information about widely found and endangered species of plant.


KARESANSUI is located at No. 46 Cuo Lang, North Gate Street of Dukezong Ancient Town, Shangri-La, Yunnan. It is geographically blessed — only three minutes' walk from Sifang Street. Buildings of KARESANSUI are built on the slopes; it took nearly two years to complete the construction. During the construction period, Mr. Xu stayed on project site with his assistants for nearly one year to follow up on and instruct the construction. This contributes to the perfect implementation of the design!
KARESANSUI are composed of six small buildings and an old Tibetan house, visually, the two buildings where the restaurant and lobby located are floating in the air. Bridged by corridors, the buildings are undulating and interweaved with each other. There are 15 guest rooms in total , in addition, there is a lobby, a restaurant and a tea room. Unique indoor design could be found in each guests room, while giving guests great sense of privacy , it shows the beauty of new oriental Zen. One of the buildings keep the original Tibetan structure, and local Tibetan elements are added to its architectural and interior design. When designing the window, Xu Xujun made full use of the great view, making it possible for guests to enjoy the painting-like scenery of blue sky, white clouds, sunrise and sunset just by looking out of the window.
The transformation of new styled buildings and the old Tibetan houses is natural and harmonious. The scale of the hostel is not big, but it is exquisite. The space function layout is ingenious and just perfect. While standing out, the buildings blend into the surrounding environment and hostels perfectly. The local committee call it "one of the most beautiful hostel in Shangri-La".
The name of the hostel comes from poetry Looking for the Reclusive Chan Taoist of South Stream by Liu Changqing, poet of Tang Dynasty."Enjoy the green pines after the rain, walk by the path of the mountain and find the source of the water, I understand Zen from the reflection of the flowers in the stream , and I stare at them silently." The poet didn't find the taoist, instead, he found something else interesting which enabled him to get insight into Zen.
The name KARESANSUI is thus born, it aims at helping guests to gain spiritual pleasure and psychological satisfaction. Being enlighten by the quite stream, enjoying fun of tranquility from appreciating swaying wildflower; What's deep inside the heart is a kind of peace and joy of self-examination. Such kind of peaceful mood integrated harmoniously with the quiet environment. We hope that all guests could have an agreeable experience here.


In Jean Rhys's compelling novel about racial tension amidst confusion and anxiety, the author addresses this subtext in such a way as to portray Antoinette as a product of an intolerant society. While more of an underlying theme, the character's racial inner struggles in Wide Sargasso Sea represent a significance to the story's overall flavor and intensity, being that Antoinette is torn the entire time between calling herself black or white. Who is she really, and why is she having such a difficult time coming to terms with her true identity?
In Rhys's Wide Sargasso Sea, Antoinette is perpetually faced with having to deal with her racial obscurity. Not only does she lack a distinct perception of herself as a human being, but she is also absent of any ability to escape ultimate self-destruction. Indeed, these two issues are critically important when assessing the reasons why Antoinette is unable -- throughout the entire novel -- to come to terms with which culture she really represents. It can be argued that the author characterizes Antoinette as decidedly more white than black, and then goes on to depict the black characters as inherently more free. This is what lays the foundation of Antoinette's identity crisis, because she is forever being given conflicting signals regarding both races. "They say when trouble comes close ranks, and so the white people did. But we were not in their ranks" (17).


Kurt Zouma has today finalised a season-long loan to Everton.
Zouma moved to Chelsea in 2014 and has won the Premier League twice. He also played an important role in our League Cup triumph over Tottenham in his first season, deployed in an unusual defensive midfield position at Wembley.
A serious injury sustained in February 2016 ruled him out for a lengthy period of time, but he was gradually reintroduced to the side towards the end of the following campaign as we lifted the title again.
Zouma spent last season on loan at Stoke City for whom he played 34 league games.

India and the Middle East: Constancy of policy in the context of changing perspectives, 1947-1986.
Mudiam, Prithvi Ram (1991) India and the Middle East: Constancy of policy in the context of changing perspectives, 1947-1986. PhD thesis, London School of Economics and Political Science (United Kingdom).
This study seeks to critically examine India's relations with the Middle East in terms of India's political, security and economic interests in the region between 1947 and 1986. It tries to define India's general foreign policy objectives and the means and strategies she adopted to realise them in relation to the Middle East. The study focuses on the misperceptions and fallacies that governed India's interaction with the region which over the years artificially restricted India's manoeuvrability and policy options in the region. The first chapter provides a historical backdrop of independent India's foreign policy with special reference to the Middle East. The second and the third chapters focus on India's politico-diplomatic interests in the region by examining India's bilateral ties with four most important states in the region, namely Egypt, Iraq, Iran and Saudi Arabia. The fourth chapter critically evaluates India's security concerns in the region with special emphasis on developments in the 70s and 80s and India's responses to them. The fifth chapter seeks to quantify India's economic interaction with the region and endeavours to put India's economic stake in the region in perspective. Chapters six and seven concentrate on India's relations with Israel and the PLO respectively and emphasise the need for India to take a fresh look at the problem in the light of new and far-reaching developments in the region. This study takes the view that the constancy of India's Middle Eastern policy is more an outcome of lack of imagination and an absence of subtlety and sensitivity on the part of Indian political elite than any unwavering commitment on their part to any high principles and ideals. It also underlines the untenability of such policy in future in the context of rapidly changing political and strategic landscape of the Middle East.

Maarrich: Tusshar Kapoor To Play A Badass Cop In This Whodunit Starring Naseeruddin Shah
Talking about the film and what drew him to the script, Tusshar told ETimes, "It's a grey whodunit, and it gets its title from a character in Hindu mythology, who had tricked Sita into believing something that wasn't for real. It's not the kind of film that anyone would easily associate with me. It's unlike anything I have done before. The narration for this film was so gripping that I was drawn to producing and acting in it. I'm glad it is difficult for people to imagine me as a badass." … [Read more...] about Maarrich: Tusshar Kapoor To Play A Badass Cop In This Whodunit Starring Naseeruddin Shah

"I went into self-protective mode right away [after Titanic came out]. It was like night and day from one day to the next. I was subject to a lot of personal physical scrutiny, I was criticized a lot and the British press were quite unkind to me. I felt bullied if I'm honest. I remember thinking, 'this is horrible and I hope it passes' - it did definitely pass but it made me realize that, if that's what being famous was, I was not ready to be famous, definitely not."

CLEARWATER, Fla. -- Florida State League President Ken Carson today announced his plans to retire following the 2019 season after what will be his 43rd year in professional baseball.
Carson took over as President of the Florida State League prior to the 2015 season after 38 years in various roles in the Toronto Blue Jays organization.
"This was a very tough decision as my time in the Florida State League has been one of the best experiences of my life," said Carson. "I want to thank all the Florida State League directors for all their help and cooperation, Pat O'Conner, the Toronto Blue Jays, and especially Paul Beeston and Pat Gillick for all their guidance over the years."
"Ken Carson has had a storied sports career and his career in baseball covers just about every imaginable step in the sport, from athletic trainer to front office executive to league president," said Minor League Baseball President & CEO Pat O'Conner. "Ken has had a great impact on his teams, players and others around him and will always be remembered for his positive attitude, quick wit and fierce loyalty. I congratulate him on a terrific career and wish him an enjoyable retirement."
"The Florida State League has been fortunate to have had the leadership role of president filled by Ken Carson for the past four years as his experience and love for professional baseball, and particularly the Florida State League, will be difficult to replace and sorely missed," said Philadelphia Phillies Director of Florida Operations John Timberlake. "Ken has set a fine example of professionalism and love for the game for all of us in the league and we wish him the best in his final year of service and his future retirement."
Carson began his career in professional sports as an Athletic Trainer for his hometown Barrie Flyers of the Ontario Hockey League (OHL) from 1956-60 before joining the Niagara Falls Flyers (OHL) as their Athletic Trainer from 1961-64. Carson served as the Athletic Trainer for the Rochester Americans of the AHL for two years (1965-66) before joining the Pittsburgh Penguins for 10 years (1967-76).
Carson began his career in baseball in 1977 when he was named Athletic Trainer for the Toronto Blue Jays, a position he held through the 1987 season. In addition to his athletic training duties, Carson served as the Traveling Secretary for the Blue Jays during the 1979-87 seasons.
Following the 1987 season, Carson was named Director of Florida Operations and General Manager of the Dunedin Blue Jays, positions he held through the 2010 season. From 2011-14, Carson served the Blue Jays organization as a consultant and served as Vice President of the Florida State League. Carson also represented the Florida State League on Minor League Baseball's Board of Trustees from 1992 through 2014.
"What a career Ken has had in professional sports, working on the minor league level and major league level in two different sports," said Randy Mobley, the President of the International League and Chairman of the Council of League Presidents. "Ken stepped into the role of Florida State League President with a broad background of experiences and it was not hard to envision the success he and the league would have during his tenure. Ken has been a valued contributor to the Council of League Presidents as a member of the Game Operations Committee and I know I speak for all members of the Council in congratulating Ken on his pending retirement and wishing him a very memorable final season at the helm of the Florida State League."
"Ken has had a wonderful career in professional sports and his efforts as President of the Florida State League are greatly appreciated," said Detroit Tigers Director of Florida Operations Ron Myers. "Ken treated all clubs in the league fairly and equally and his successor will have a tough act to follow."
Carson and his wife, Lillian, were married in 2012 and have eight children and 23 grandchildren. They reside in Dunedin, Florida.

What Is Consideration Of An Agreement
At Roscorla vs. Thomas, Roscorla was awarded a contract to buy a horse from Thomas for $30. After the sale, Thomas Roscorla promised that the horse would be healthy; the horse proved to be evil. It was found that Roscorla was unable to obtain the undertaking, as the consideration for the sale agreement for the purchase of the horse had been concluded at the time of the undertaking; In a sense, the reflection was "exhausted." [16] The consideration for a promise may be the performance of a contractual obligation owed to someone other than the project. At Shadwell vs. Shadwell, Cayley Shadwell was contractually obliged to marry a third party. His uncle Charles Shadwell promised to pay him $150 a year after his wedding. It was established that Cayley Shadwell`s marriage was a good idea, even though a contract with a third party required him to marry. [36] Systems based on Roman law (including Germany [22] and Scotland) do not require scrutiny, and some commentators feel that they are not necessary and have proposed abandoning the doctrine of reflection[23] and estoppel, which have replaced them as the basis for contracts. [24] However, legislation, not judicial development, was seen as the only way to eliminate this entrenched doctrine. Lord Justice Denning said he was famous: "The doctrine of consideration is too firmly anchored to be toppled by a side wind." [25] For example, a buyer of goods who has paid $10 in the past. This is not a good thought for the delivery of new goods to make a new contract.
On the other side of the coin, the illegal consideration could be a promise to do nothing, as a party is legally obliged to pay taxes or comply with certain regulatory requirements. Contracts cannot be maintained if a party`s consideration is illegal. In order for a contract to be considered valid and enforceable by the courts, three aspects of consideration must be considered. In the absence of one or more of these elements, the contract does not have the necessary conditions, it could be considered null and void by the Tribunal. Among the appropriate view, the rule that the previous review is not well thought out is subject to the exception discussed by the Privy Council of Pao On v Lau Yiu Long. [17] In this case, their masters felt that previous considerations could be well thought out when: the existing obligations related to employment at will depend largely on state law. As a general rule, the authorization-related employment allows the employer to terminate the worker for a good reason or not at all (as long as the reason, if any, is not expressly illegal) and allows the worker to resign for any reason. There is no obligation to continue working in the future. Therefore, when an employee asks for an increase, there is no problem with the consideration because the worker does not have a legal obligation to continue working. When an employer asks for a reduction in wages, there is also no contractual issue that must be considered, as the employer does not have a legal obligation to continue to employ the worker. However, some states require additional consideration, with the exception of the prospect of continued employment, in order to enforce the employer`s conditions, including non-competition clauses, at a later date.
In general, the courts do not inquire as to whether the agreement between two parties was monetaryly fair – only that each party passed on a legal obligation or obligation to the other party. [29] [30] The issue of the arrangement is the existence of counterparties, not the adequacy of the counterparty.

Customer services begin well before the point of purchase, and include contact with any member of the public, not just your actual customers. You need to be sure that every person you employ exhibits good manners, professionalism and diligence in every communication.
Customer services are generally thought to be the support that is offered to customers before, during and after they buy and use your product or service. In fact, it starts before a person even manages to contact your company. For example, a website which is really difficult to navigate will make people angry before they have even thought about picking up the phone. Also, charging your customers exorbitant rates to call you will create resentment and bitterness, and really deter people from contacting you. That's why 03 numbers are so great for customer services. Similarly, you should make sure you don't charge your clients and partners for the privilege of participating in your audio meetings, something which can also be avoided through the use of conference call rooms accessed with an 03 number through conference call providers like WHYPAY?.
But of course, it's important to look after the every day customer, not just those who might be sitting in on your teleconferences. And these days it's a bit more complicated than making sure your telephone agents are helpful and friendly. Customer service can be provided through instant messaging, email, SMS and social media. This might seem a little excessive – is it really a good idea to be texting your customers? But actually, the availability of all these channels is great, because different customers and enquiries are suited to different methods of communication. By offering options, you're making it easier for people to get in touch and therefore creating more opportunities for you to solve any issues and retain their loyalty.
Nevertheless, it does pose the added challenge of keeping lots of plates spinning at once. It's even a little trickier than that, as each type of communication requires a specific approach. You might feel quite confident about engaging with customers on a few of these platforms already; there's a good chance you've already integrated social media into your telemarketing campaign, for example. But customer service is a delicate area, especially as often customers are already disgruntled when they reach out, so it's definitely worth doing some research and getting together with your customer services team to have set strategies and approaches.
Why do customer services matter?
Customer services can be quite easy to overlook. Many businesspeople have gained success in part thanks to an ability to look at the bottom line, to focus on the final result and to demand that the figures speak for themselves rather than looking at qualitative data and lengthy explanations. Yet most people at the helm of companies which have enjoyed long-term success would probably tell you that how you treat your customers is actually absolutely vital.
Despite being a specific area of your business, possibly with its own dedicated team of employees which can make up varying proportions of your workforce, customer service affects and reflects almost every aspect of a company. It tends to have a direct and significant impact on that all-important bottom line, and can be one of the biggest factors in determining your company's public reputation. You won't struggle to think of some companies which have received a great deal of negative press as a result of their lacklustre customer services, with plenty of lengthy lists being published every year highlighting the worst offenders.
But good customer service isn't just about avoiding unsavoury stories about your company being published. It brings with it a whole host of amazing benefits. Your customers will be more loyal to your company, which means they won't be swayed over to your competitors. They're also more likely to spend more on your products or services at a time, and to do so more often, which again increases your profit margins. And not only will they be giving you more of their money, but people will talk to friends, family, or even the public via social media about positive experiences they've had with a company, helping to build your reputation and make others more likely to buy from you. Having this kind of reputation for offering great customer services can remove barriers which some people might have about buying from you.
It seems easy to make these claims, and they might even seem intuitively true, but you might want some stats to back them up before rejigging your budget. Luckily, plenty of studies support the importance of customer services. You might think that people don't really sit around discussing customer services, but one study found that 68% of consumers really would tell family and friends or post about a negative experience with a company on their social media accounts – something which will often not only reach their own friends and family, but be re-shared sometimes thousands and thousands of times.
You might also be sceptical about the idea that treating people nicely really makes them happier to part with more pounds. But RightNow Technologies reported that a whopping 86% of adults surveyed were willing to spend more money in return for an improved customer experience, while almost three out of every four stated that good customer services had made them fall in love with a brand.
And if your customer services aren't up to scratch, people really will take their business elsewhere. Even if whatever you are providing is of great quality, treating them poorly will be reason enough for people to cease trading with you. In fact, the very biggest reason given for no longer buying from a company was a belief that the company does not care about them. This accounted for 68% of those surveyed, with the next biggest factor being dissatisfaction with the service at just 14% of respondents. Another study reported that if they believe that your company doesn't care about them, 82% of people will leave.
How can you make sure you are providing good customer service?
So now we've established that customer service does indeed count, you'll want to be doing everything you can to make sure that you're providing the very best. Thankfully, there's tonnes of advice out there to help you do just that.
The fundamental basis of good customer service is empathy. You and your staff need to be able to understand your customers' wants, needs, frustrations and difficulties before you can even begin to try to address them. Your customer service philosophy needs to put the customer first. Ask them what they require, but don't expect them to explain exactly what you need to do – that is part of your job!
It isn't just a case of waiting for somebody to call and complain, and dealing with the issue. Try to be one step ahead and predict what they need before they realise they need it, and never make them feel they are bothering you or keeping you from other tasks. Whether dealing with an angry customer or one who is giving positive feedback, you should always aim not to meet their expectations, but to go above and beyond them. Every customer should feel that they are the priority.
The great thing about good customer service is that it is pretty common sense stuff. We have all crossed paths with hundreds of companies in our lifetimes, with varying levels of satisfaction. That means you and your employees have plenty of personal experience on which to build an effective, friendly and respectful customer services policy. It boils down to treating people as you'd want to be treated – something we've been learning since our first days at nursery!
Aside from generally being courteous and dedicated, there are some concrete practices which you can implement. For example, whether somebody has been queuing to pay for a couple of minutes, or had to be put on hold or transferred to get in touch with you, an apology should be offered straight away for the delay and the customer should be thanked for their patience.
A longer-term and possibly more time-consuming but undoubtedly worthwhile step is not just training your staff, but really educating them. You want to be sure that they can answer any and all questions fully and helpfully. It's extremely frustrating to go to the trouble of getting in touch with a company, sometimes with a lengthy wait on hold, or having physically driven to you, and finding that the member of staff they reach can't answer their question. Whether they're sent back to the website or to a different department, placed back on hold while they are transferred elsewhere, or simply turned away with no further help, it's simply not good enough. It happens all too often, and can absolutely cost you somebody's continued business. Be fair to your customers and to your staff by giving them robust training and education regarding all of your products and services, and related fields, and try to make sure they have easy and quick access to all of this and further information while they interact with customers.
Depending on your particular company there are lots of other things you can do to make sure your customer service is really great. From tailoring each customer's experience to sending out targeted offers or apologies if you know that they have encountered a problem, keeping customers happy doesn't need to be difficult or costly. A little bit of extra effort can go a huge way in giving you the edge over your competition and making sure you have the happiest client-base around. There's no doubt that it's a truly worthwhile area in which to invest your time and money.


Christchurch is the paradise of scootering lovers with many areas, dedicated to this modern street sport. Templeton Domain, situated near Templeton Country Club, offers many concrete ramps, ledges, two half pyramids, a box with grindrails, and is thus perfect for transition and street scootering.
Make your jumps and ollies off the ramps and land back on your back wheel, do double-bar spins, stunning wheelies and bunny hops. Buy or take your scooter with you and get ready to perform amazing tricks up in the air!


In case you are new here…we have this little contest going on…that's not so little anymore!
