After you do this; you will keep it shiny by drying it out after each time you use it and making sure when you go to bed that it is shining so it will make you smile in the morning. This is how I get to hug you each day! That shiny sink is a reflection of the love that you have for yourself.
Now that you have completed that very important first step, here is a list of the rest of the Beginner BabySteps. Do not jump ahead and try to get them all done at once, simply go to the next step each day and complete it. You can do this!!
Today I want you get up and get dressed to lace up shoes when you first get up in the morning. This means fix your hair and face too.
In order for us to change ourselves we need to remind ourselves of what we are doing. I did this with yellow sticky notes throughout my home to guide me through my day. This was the beginning of my home control journal. I had little notes on my bathroom mirror to remind me to get dressed to shoes.
Shine your sink before you go to bed.
Today you are doing what we have already done.
Now is the time to start exploring Big Tent. Be sure and read the NEWS. This is where you will find the Daily Flight Plan, the essays and the testimonials.
Your next thing is to write these things down on a sticky note and post them on your bathroom mirror and above your kitchen sink. This is the beginning of your Control Journal. The little notes help us to remember the habits we are trying to establish.
Are you hearing any of those nagging negative voices popping into your head? I want you to take a piece of paper and write down what you hear then I want you to turn those ugly words around and say something nice to yourself to negate the ugly words that they said.
– Recognizing the negative voices when you hear them and changing the words to be nice to you. That is what FLYing (Finally Loving Yourself) is all about.
Today we are going to learn about Hot Spots. We all have them. Here is a link on our website to read the definition of a Hot Spot.
Now I want you to set your timer for 2 minutes and lets practice putting out your Hot Spot. You don't have to work till you have finished; just do what you can in 2 minutes. Put your bills in one place. This will keep you from having to search for them.
– Recognizing the negative voices; change them and FLY!
– Put out your Hot Spot for 2 minutes; just pick one.
Today we are going to add a new habit to our before bed routine. Tonight before you hop in bed; I want you to pick out what clothes you are going to wear tomorrow.


One of the major aims of hey dee ho music is to expose children to a broad musical experience in a structured program. The program includes a wide range of songs and musical activities and children produce music themselves on non-tuned percussion instruments. Participants move in response to the music, either freely or at the suggestion of the presenter. Throughout the session the musical concepts of beat, rhythm, tempo, pitch and dynamics are explored in a fun environment.
Popular children's songs are choreographed and presented over a period of weeks so children feel comfortable about learning longer, more complex songs.
Simple "multi-cultural" greetings, Auslan "signing", "Sol fa" hand signs and spatial awareness activities are incorporated throughout the year.
Songs and activities are presented in themes to maintain a balance between music and drama to maximise interest for children. There are currently over 50 themes to choose from.
We also incorporate many basic components of childhood development- fine and gross motor skills, cognitive development, turn taking (important in the process of developing interactive social behaviour), listening skills and more.
Programs follow a certain structure each week but are flexible enough to move with children's ideas and incorporate the presenter's 'way'. hey dee ho music is an opportunity for children to immerse themselves in music whilst having fun and learning to socialise with one another.
Amelia is so grateful to present a programme combining her great loves of performance and creative education. A speech and Drama tutor, Vocalist and professional Silly- Goose, Amelia has been teaching, programming and performing in many capacities throughout NZ and Australia for over 10 years. Her passion for education and her love for the world of story and magic is prevalent in each session, which she presents with an abundant warmth and enthusiasm. Currently teaching four programmes – Fun-Key Yoga, Active8, Music and Fiction Factory – Amelia has been presenting with hey dee ho for 6 years, a franchise owner for two of these years with her husband and creative partner, Jake. Amelia is a singer full time and spends her spare time with her dog, chickens and garden!


When President Trump agreed to end the historically long government shutdown on Jan. 26, he said the fiasco he triggered would be repeated in three weeks unless Congress came up with a deal on border security that he could accept. Since then, however, Trump has signaled that he doesn't care what lawmakers do — he may not force another shutdown, but he is determined to build his border wall, with or without Congress appropriating the money.
Trump has been floating the idea of ignoring whatever deal lawmakers strike, declaring a national emergency at the southern border and using emergency powers to fund the wall. But defying Congress' dictates on how federal dollars should be spent would be legally iffy, set a horrible precedent — and carry more than a whiff of authoritarianism.
He sounded that theme again at a White House meeting Friday, saying, "We will be looking at [declaring] a national emergency because I don't think anything's going to happen" in the negotiations on Capitol Hill. "I don't think Democrats want border security," he added.
It's always risky to take this president's statements too seriously, no matter how many times he may repeat them. A case in point: Mexico will not be paying for the wall, at least not in any way that's real and measurable.
The issue isn't Trump's legal power to declare an emergency; Congress has given the White House wide discretion to make such decisions. Instead, the issue is whether any of the specific powers Congress has given the president to use in emergencies — for example, to authorize the use of an unapproved prescription drug, to test a chemical weapon or sell surplus government property without a public auction — could be applied to this situation.
Some observers — including conservative former Justice Department official John Yoo in an op-ed for The Times — point to the 1982 Military Construction Codification Act, which states that when a national emergency "requires use of the armed forces," the Defense Department "may undertake military construction projects … not otherwise authorized by law that are necessary to support such use of the armed forces." That strains credulity. The military doesn't need a wall to perform its work on the border, which isn't being overrun by enemy soldiers or even by migrant civilians, who are crossing in numbers far lower than in 2000. Instead, the system is being overwhelmed by the number of families seeking asylum.
The bigger problem is that Trump could set a precedent for future presidents to usurp Congress' constitutional power over the federal purse by treating political disputes as national emergencies. Presidents cannot dictate how lawmakers spend tax dollars; they have to persuade Congress. And clearly, Trump is not doing so.
Regardless of Trump's posturing, lawmakers should craft a deal that addresses the humanitarian problems caused by the backlog in asylum requests and the surge in families seeking protection. They should also use the opportunity to provide permanent relief to "Dreamers," the young immigrants brought to the country illegally by their parents when they were children. But they should not be cowed by the president's posturing into wasting billions of dollars on an ineffective border wall. And if Trump carries out his threat to spend the money anyway, the courts should remind him that the president's emergency powers have limits.


Now you, too, can dress like the Duchess of Sussex on her wedding day for a mere $45. While Meghan Markle's Givenchy gown certainly turned heads on her wedding day, it was her evening reception dress that had designers clamoring to release pieces remarkably similar to her sophisticated Stella McCartney number.
The latest brand to join the foray is Fashion Nova, a popular Instagram-driven company and platform that sells clothing for super low prices. The company announced this week that it has officially replicated Markle's McCartney gown—a form-fitting dress featuring a halter neckline and comprised of polyester and spandex.
The piece is appropriately entitled the Royal Debut Dress and like Markle, it's made in the U.S. Unlike the McCartney gowns, which require a waitlist, the Fashion Nova version only costs $44.99, for a royal-worthy wedding reception look in general.
Brides will now need to wait, however, because the piece completely sold out within a day. We can only hope that Fashion Nova will restock this highly-coveted item soon.

Q: GET via wget or cURL gives a limited response I'm bumping my head on a simple HTTP GET request.
Using a tool like Postman, I'm getting the full and expected response (an over 1 thousand lines xml document, displaying the details of my 60 albums)
For this GET request, I provide:

*

*4 parameters embedded in the url

*The default header "Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded"

*1 cookie containing my session ID, to secure my identity

With using wget however, I get only a 505 lines long xml document. As far as I know, I do provide the same cookies, same parameters and header.
wget -o logfile.log -O response.xml --load-cookies cookies.txt https://app.viewbook.com/albums/?sort=date&order=desc&page=1&per_page=500

The "response.xml" I get is a well-formed xml document, but with only 25 albums, 505 lines long:

I was thinking there might be a built-in limitation within wget, so I tried with curl

Using curl, I get exactly the same 25 limited albums, 505 lines long xml response:
curl -D filelog.log -o response.xml -H "Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded" -b "_accountservice3_session=ZFp6UU..." https://app.viewbook.com/albums/?sort=date&order=desc&page=1&per_page=500

I'm out of ideas why both wget and curl - while not totally failing - don't give the same complete result I get with the Postman tool.
Am I missing some parameters during my GET call?
Where does this limited length response could come from?

Cuban leader Fidel Castro (L) is pictured with revolutionary icon Ernesto "Che" Guevara in a August 2, 1961 file photo in Havana, Cuba. (UPI Photo/FILE)
Announcer: Some prominent persons passed away in 1967, among them German Statesman Konrad Adenauer, former British Prime Minister Clement Attlee, actress Jayne Mansfield, poet Carl Sandburg, Cuban revolutionist Ché Guevara, former Vice-President John Nance Garner and France's Cardinal Spellman.
One man was given a second chance to live. To him, the most important sound in the world is the beat of a heart that lived for 22 years inside another person. Now, that heart is his. The first successful heart transplant was performed in South Africa on December the 2nd. Louis Washkansky had his heart traded for that of a 22-year-old woman who was killed in an automobile accident. The operation was performed by Dr. Christian Barnard.
Dr. Christian Barnard: "The patient's improving all the time. He's now not artificially ventilated any more. His heart is not being stimulated by an electrical machine; he's completely on his own, conscious and so far doing very well."
Announcer: So a new era in medical history was reached in 1967 with the first successful heart transplant.
And so it was in fashion with shorter miniskirts and mod clothes.
So it was with the young generation as they experimented more and more with narcotics and drugs, LSD and marijuana.
So it was for dissenters and protesters.
Protesters: "Hell, no, we won't go! Hell, no, we won't go! Peace now! Peace now! Peace now! Peace now!"
Announcer: Next, we'll look at the dissenter: the protester in the year 1967 as this review of the year's news by United Press International continues.

"It makes a better trash can than A/C"
The furnace "heat" function performs acceptably, but the a/c must be constantly "defrosted" - even in mild humidity conditions. The house is less than 2 years old and the a/c function has been hit and miss. When the a/c freezes, it generally takes about 12 hours to defrost and successfully restart. The interior of the furnace housing becomes quite wet and ice can be heard cracking when the a/c is shut off. I have found that this unit was made in China and production of the brand was terminated sometime before I had the house built. I would NEVER buy this brand (or replacement). Also, the series and model data are not on the furnace or its paperwork.
This system is junk! We built our house in 2008, and since 2008 we have had to replace breakers and a compressor. We use this unit maybe two times during the year. We live in northern Wisconsin and only need it randomly. The system is loud, extremely noisy with vibration, and does not keep up with the house at all. I have had it checked over, and they tell me it is the correct size for the house. I would never recommend this unit to anybody.
The Weatherking (seer 13, 3.5 ton) was installed in April 2009- but only the outdoor condenser unit. It was rather noisy, but seemed to work ok. Three years later in June 2012, the condenser fan burnt out. It was an $800 repair. On really hot summer days, the evaporating coil freezes up, so I must shut down the system for about 45 minutes. It's freezing up because my system is mismatched. The evap coil was made for the old seer 10 unit that the Weatherking replaced. The company that sold me the unit never bothered to tell me (or educate me) about having a fully matched system, so I can't say it is the fault of weatherking. I have to take blame in letting an unscrupulous hvac company do the work and being completely ignorant to hvac. Not no more!
My house is 6 years old and of course the compressor in one of two 3 ton units has gone bad. In addition, a value on the system in the attic plugged and burnt the compressor up. I spent the $2000 to have the valve and compressor replaced and now some debris or something in the system is plugging the value and the system stops cooling. No big deal if you do not live in Casa Grande az like I do. iho, Weather King is garbage. Bummer.
We bought a 3300 square feet, two-story home seven years ago and it had two WeatherKing units. They were far from new and I expected them to need replacement at any time. Seven years later they are still performing well.
Myself & my wife Rita have a 3.5 a/c unit in are house 2750 sq ft. Weatherking never a problem I would tell anybody yes buy one.
"THE WORST AC UNIT I HAVE SEEN"
I had Al's Heating & Air from Tuttle,Ok install this unit in 2008 and they have been out multiple times and checked it because it will not cool my house very well. The Owner keeps telling me that it is because I live in a mobile home. I live in a Solitaire Home and the Coleman they replaced did a great job of cooling my house. When it heats up to about 90 outside the unit will run all day long, if you drop the temp at the thermostat a couple degrees when it is still cool in the morning it takes about an hour to change the temp inside and kick off. I have been very patient with this contractor and product but now I have been pushed to a breaking point. The contractor wont even return my call so it is time to share my experiance with as many people as possible. I do not like anything about this product. I would never recomend this product or Al's H&A.
"Don't buy one of these."
This Weatherking unit came with a new Lennar home. It has rarely worked correctly. Chas Roberts hvac company has been out to repair it so many times that I want to scream. If you purchase one of these units you are nuts.
Date created: 2012-01-29 Name: Bill M.
"23 years of great service"
My hvac contractor recommended a 3 ton Weatherking to replace my very low efficiency 18 year old Bryant as it was a 'universal' fit back in 1989. In all these years, the only problem was it twice needed a charge. And the sheet metal, which I kept waxed, has held up well. I keep the thermostat at a constant 75º during the summer (May-August) with the air handler fan always on. Now that I'm replacing the whole system, I can only say this has been one well made unit with an average cost of only $125 per month for a 1800 square feet home.

Joseph Needham (1900-1995)
Joseph Needham was an embryologist and biochemist who is most noted in science for his studies on induction in developing embryos. Needham worked with Conrad Hal Waddington to attempt to identify the compound responsible for the organizer's activity. Although he was not successful in discovering the chemical, he and Waddington learned much about the organizer. Needham was a meticulous writer, writing reviews and books about contemporary research.
Stazione Zoologica Anton Dohrn, Naples, Italy
The Stazione Zoologica Anton Dohrn (Anton Dohrn Zoological Station) is a public research institute focusing on biology and biodiversity. Hereafter called the Station, it was founded in Naples, Italy, in 1872 by Anton Dohrn. The type of research conducted at the Station has varied since it was created, though initial research focused on embryology. At the turn of the twentieth century, researchers at the Station established the sea urchin (Echinoidea) as a model organism for embryological research.

Stephen Jay Gould (1941-2002)
Stephen Jay Gould studied snail fossils and worked at Harvard University in Cambridge, Massachusetts during the latter half of the twentieth century. He contributed to philosophical, historical, and scientific ideas in paleontology, evolutionary theory, and developmental biology. Gould, with Niles Eldredge, proposed the theory of punctuated equilibrium, a view of evolution by which species undergo long periods of stasis followed by rapid changes over relatively short periods instead of continually accumulating slow changes over millions of years.
Charles Raymond Greene (1901–1982)
Charles Raymond Greene studied hormones and the effects of environmental conditions such as high-altitude on physiology in the twentieth century in the United Kingdom. Green researched frostbite and altitude sickness during his mountaineering expeditions, helping to explain how extreme environmental conditions effect respiration. Greene's research on hormones led to a collaboration with physician Katarina Dalton that culminated in the development of the theory that progesterone caused premenstrual syndrome, a theory that became the basis for later research on the condition.
Emil Kraepelin (1856–1926)
Emil Kraepelin was a physician who studied people with mental illness in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries in modern-day Germany. Kraepelin's examination and description of the symptoms and outcomes of mental illness formed the basis for his classification of psychiatric disorders into two main groups, dementia praecox, now called schizophrenia, and manic-depressive psychosis, now called bipolar disorder. He was one of the first physicians to suggest that those researching mental illness should gain scientific knowledge only through close observation and description.
Emil von Behring (1854–1917)
Emil von Behring researched treatments for the common childhood disease diphtheria in Germany in the 1890s and early 1900s. Diphtheria is a lethal disease that infected approximately 40,000 people in Germany between 1886 and 1888 with a general mortality rate of twenty-five percent. Behring investigated treatment of diphtheria using serum therapy, which is an alternative to vaccination that uses protective agents from other people's blood to defend a patient against disease. Behring termed those protective agents antitoxins.
Subject: People, Theories
Karl Freiherr von Rokitansky (1804–1878)
During the nineteenth century, Karl Freiherr von Rokitansky conducted research on the causes of disease by performing approximately 30,000 autopsies, a practice that many people opposed at the time. Rokitansky performed his research in pathology, or the study of disease, and morbid anatomy, or the study of dead bodies, in Vienna, then part of the Austrian Empire and later part of Austria.
Madison Grant (1865–1937)
Madison Grant was a lawyer and wildlife conservationist who advocated for eugenics policies in the US during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. In his 1916 book, The Passing of the Great Race; or, The Racial Basis of European History, Grant argued that what he called the Nordic race, which originated from northwest Europe, was biologically and culturally superior to all other people, including other Europeans.
Francis Harry Compton Crick (1916-2004)
Francis Harry Compton Crick, who co-discovered the structure of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) in 1953 in Cambridge, England, also developed The Central Dogma of Molecular Biology, and further clarified the relationship between nucleotides and protein synthesis. Crick received the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine that he shared with James Watson and Maurice Wilkins in 1962 for their discovery of the molecular structure of DNA.
Charles Bradlaugh (1833–1891)
Charles Bradlaugh was as a political and social activist in the seventeenth century in England. He held leadership positions in various organizations focused on social and political activism including the Reform League, the London Secular Society, the newspaper National Reformer, and the National Secular Society. Throughout his career, Bradlaugh advocated for better conditions for the working poor, and for the separation of government and religion.
Emma Wolverton (1889–1978)
Emma Wolverton, also known as Deborah Kallikak, lived her entire life in an institution in New Jersey after psychologist Henry Goddard classified her as feeble-minded. He also wrote a book about Wolverton and her family that psychiatrists previously used to show that intellectual disability is hereditary. At the time, researchers in the psychology field, including Goddard, were working to understand differences in people's intellectual abilities. They used the term feeble-minded to refer to those they described as having lower intellectual functioning.
Nicole Marthe Le Douarin (1930- )
Nicole Marthe Le Douarin was one of the first progressive female pioneers of developmental and embryological research. Some of her most notable and ground-breaking work involves grafting quail and chicken embryos together in order to study the developmental fate of each contributing embryo. Le Douarin was born in Brittany, France, on 20 August 1930. As an only child she was inspired by her mother, a school teacher at the time, to develop a passion for learning.
Henry Herbert Goddard (1866–1957)
Henry Herbert Goddard was a psychologist who conducted research on intelligence and mental deficiency at the Vineland Training School for Feeble-Minded Boys and Girls in Vineland, New Jersey during the early twentieth century. In 1908, Goddard brought French psychologist Alfred Binet and physician Theodore Simon's intelligence test to the US and used it to investigate intellectual disability in children at the Vineland Training School for Feeble-Minded Boys and Girls.
Roy Chapman Andrews (1884-1960)
Roy Chapman Andrews traveled the world studying fossils, from mammals to dinosaurs, during the first half of the twentieth century. Andrews worked and collected fossil specimens for the American Museum of Natural History (AMNH) in New York City, New York. Throughout his career, Andrews collected bones of many animal species, including a previously unknown species of a horned, herbivorous dinosaur, later named Proceratops andrewsi in his honor. Andrews published widely read narratives about his travels and field experiences, such as On the Trail of Ancient Man and Across Mongolian Plains.
Annie Wood Besant (1847–1933)
Annie Wood Besant was a social activist who advocated for women's access to birth control as well as marriage reform, labor reform, and Indian Nationalism in the nineteenth century in England and India. In her early career, Besant was involved in various social and political advocacy organizations including the National Secular Society, the Malthusian League, and the Fabian Society. Besant gave many public lectures and authored various articles in support of secularism, workers' rights and unionization, and women's rights.
Ignaz Philipp Semmelweis (1818-1865)
Ignaz Philipp Semmelweis demonstrated that the use of disinfectants could reduce the occurrence of puerperal fever in patients in nineteenth century Austria. Puerperal fever is a bacterial infection that can occur in the uterine tract of women after giving birth or undergoing an abortion. Semmelweis determined that puerperal fever is contagious and argued that the unhygienic practices of physicians, like examining patients after performing autopsies, caused the spread of puerperal fever.
Minnie Joycelyn Elders (1933–)
Minnie Joycelyn Elders, known as Joycelyn Elders, is a pediatrician and professor at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences in Little Rock, Arkansas. In 1953, Elders began to work with the US Army, where she trained as a physical therapist, being the only African American woman in her training class. Elders eventually became a medical doctor in 1956, specializing in pediatric endocrinology. In 1993, then US President Bill Clinton appointed Elders as the Surgeon General for the United States Public Health Service Commissioned Corps, which she served as until 1994.
St. George Jackson Mivart (1827-1900)
St. George Jackson Mivart studied animals and worked in England during the nineteenth century. He also proposed a theory of organismal development that he called individuation, and he critiqued Charles Darwin's argument for evolution by natural selection. His work on prosimians, a group of primates excluding apes and monkeys, helped scientists better investigate the Primate group.
Arthur Earl Walker (1907-1995)
Arthur Earl Walker was a medical researcher and physician who studied the brain and neurosurgery in the United States during the twentieth century. Walker examined the connections of the thalamus to the rest of the brain and how the thalamus coordinates sensory signals. The thalamus is a cluster of nerve cells located between the two hemispheres of the brain and it is responsible for consciousness and sensory interpretation.
Norbert Freinkel (1926–1989)
During the twentieth century, Norbert Freinkel studied hormones and diabetes in the US. Freinkel conducted many experiments that enabled him to determine the factors that influence hormones of the thyroid gland to bind to proteins and to determine the effects that those thyroid hormones have on surrounding tissues. Furthermore, Freinkel researched gestational diabetes, which is diabetes that occurs for the first time during a women's pregnancy. That type of diabetes is caused by a change in the way a woman's body responds to insulin, a hormone made in the body.
Thomas Raphael Verny (1936– )
During the twentieth century, Thomas Raphael Verny studied the way that environment affects a developing fetus's character and psychological development. Verny studied the concept of memory before birth and covered both the prenatal and perinatal periods, meaning the time the fetus is in the womb and the weeks immediately before or after birth, respectively. During those times, Verny claimed that patterns of maternal attitudes and experiences, such as affection and stress-related emotions, impact the development of the child.
Eugen Steinach (1861–1944)
Eugen Steinach researched sex hormones and their effects on mammals in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries in Europe. He experimented on rats by removing their testicles and implanting them elsewhere in their bodies, and he found that the testes interstitial cells produce male sex hormones. He developed the Steinach Rejuvenation Procedure, which he claimed could rejuvenate men by increasing their production of sex hormones. Steinach's work on female sex hormones and on ovarian extracts led to the development of the first standardized injectable estrogen.
Petr Alekseevich Kropotkin (1842-1921)
Petr Kropotkin proposed the theory of Pleistocene ice age, alternative theories of evolution based on embryology, and he advocated anarchist and communist social doctrines in Europe during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. He traveled in eastern Siberia and Manchuria from 1863 until 1867, and his subsequent publications about that area's geography became authoritative until the middle of the twentieth century.

In 79 A.D., the majestic Mount Vesuvius spout hot pyroclastic materials into the air. The whole region of Campania, where the volcano was located, was disappeared from the surface, completely. It was so hot, so fast; people couldn't get out from the disaster. Herculaneum is one of the lost cities along with the famous ancient city, Pompeii. However, because Herculaneum's burial was deeper than Pompeii, the building's original splendor was protected much better, and even food.
Can't beat this view really, can you?
To understand better about the background and history, I recommend visiting the National Archeological Museum in Naples before visiting Herculaneum. Here you can see the artifacts from both Pompeii and Herculaneum. The artifacts were found in Campania region during the discovery and moved to this museum. A number of artifacts and the quality amazed me. Once again, I thought about my travel purpose. These people lived here more than 2,000 years ago, but amazingly they thought as similar as we do in the 21st century. They had markets to buy and sell food, there was scholars, architects, and army, and they cared about art. The world's oldest profession existed back then. They used letters, numbers, drawings and money to communicate. Human life wasn't so different 2,000 years ago.
Herculaneum is famous for the well-preserved ruins. If I didn't know the history, I wouldn't have thought this was the city built more than two thousand years ago. The amazing thing was, how the life here were similar to ours. The feeling was stronger than when I was at the museum. The cobblestone street I was walking on were as old as Jesus. The fresco artwork resembled the ones I saw in churches in Europe. The columns were standing tall, public bath house could be open for business, and the detail of mosaics was outstanding. It's hard to believe all of these were buried under the ash for all these years.
#How to get there: the best way to get to Herculaneum is by Circumvesuviana train from Naples (Corso Garibaldi and Piazza Garibaldi Stations). The line to Ercolano(Herculaneum) goes from Naples to Sorrento. It takes about 20 minutes from Naples.
#Transportation in Naples: Tram N° 1 will be your best friend. It goes all the major places in the city, including train stations and cruise terminal. The tram makes a stop both at Corso Garibaldi and Piazza Garibaldi. Both stations are only a few hundred meters apart.
#Pompeii or Herculaneum?: I didn't go to Pompeii, but I've been told that a lot of people prefer Herculaneum to Pompeii as it's a much more compact site and has significantly fewer visitors. I was extremely satisfied with our trip to Herculaneum because practically we were alone. But it's possible to visit both in one day using a combined ticket and the local train connects both sites.
Examples of the buildings at both sites. Seashells were commonly used.
Gorgeous photos! I can't wait to go in a few months.
Cool how you can still see the paint on the walls!
great insight on Herculaneum! You have such lovely photos!

Montreal, QC -Casino City CEO Michael Corfman is finally ready to put his stunning loss at the Global Interactive Gaming Summit and Expo (GIGSE) Velcro Drag Races behind him, vowing, "Just wait until next year."
After months of training for his match against Ken Driefach, the former Chief of the Internet Bureau for the New York State Attorney General's Office, Corfman traveled to Montreal seeking victory. He came up a few meters short.
"I made a mistake right in the beginning," Corfman said. "I looked at him and said, 'May the right man win.' Probably the wrong thing to say considering Ken was on my right."
The Corfman versus Driefach match was one of eight Velcro Drag Race grudge contests held at GIGSE to raise money for Gordon House, the official charity of the conference. The UK-based organization provides international support for addicted gamblers.
Donations for Gordon House at GIGSE totaled more than $120,000.
Although Corfman agreed to run in the name of charity, it was obvious to all who gathered that he came to win. Guest professional bookmakers put the race at +105 to –125 for Driefach, but being underdog didn't bother a CEO who's gone against long odds before.
Plus, he had a plan.
While other competitors were content to don business casual attire, Corfman quietly changed into athletic shorts and tube socks, hoping to cut down on wind drag and prevent fatigue. His face stern and focused, Corfman even threw in a couple stretches for good measure.
"I was pretty nervous when I saw that he [Corfman] came with a whole athletic outfit," a jesting Driefach said after the race. "I was glad I was able to pull off the win despite having an attire disadvantage."
Known as a strategic thinker, Corfman spent time analyzing the proposed Velcro track in the weeks leading up to GIGSE, experimenting and probing the design for any type of advantage.
At one point, Corfman toyed with the idea of crawling on the track rather than running it, hoping four appendages unhindered by Velcro would give him a speed advantage over his Velcro-hindered opponent.
In the end, Corfman decided to run upright and without gimmick. He got off to a slow start in the awkward, oversized Velcro shoes and although there was a moment when Corfman caught his stride, Driefach built an insurmountable lead in the opening moments and was able to high step to victory.
"It's all about the charity and the fun," Driefach said.
Corfman agreed with Driefach, telling his supporters it was time well spent. Even with the brave face, chances are he's already scheming up a victory plan for 2007 in case the GIGSE organizers ask him to participate again.

How to Be an Imperfectionist: The New Way to Self-Acceptance, Fearless Living, and Freedom from Perfectionism
Perfectionism is a naturally limiting mindset. For example, kids are taught to color inside the lines, and any color outside the lines is considered a mistake that must be corrected. Imperfectionism frees us to live outside the lines, where possibilities are infinite, mistakes are allowed, and self-judgment is minimal.

How to Be Miserable
40 Strategies You Already Use
Written by: Randy J. Paterson PhD
Narrated by: Stephen Paul Aulridge Jr.
Length: 5 hrs
There are stacks upon stacks of self-help books that will promise you love, happiness, and a fabulous life. But how can you pinpoint the exact behaviors that cause you to be miserable in the first place? Sometimes when we're depressed, or just sad or unhappy, our instincts tell us to do the opposite of what we should - such as focusing on the negative, dwelling on what we can't change, isolating ourselves from friends and loved ones, eating junk food, or overindulging in alcohol. Sound familiar?
An attempt at humor comes of as condescending.

Enjoyed Pema; Questions Less So
By Friendly Mum on 2019-06-23
One afternoon - after another failed attempt to get motivated to exercise - I (accidentally) started my first mini habit. I initially committed to do one push-up, and it turned into a full workout. I was shocked. This "stupid idea" wasn't supposed to work. I was shocked again when my success with this strategy continued for months (and to this day). I had to consider that maybe I wasn't the problem in those 10 years of mediocre results. Maybe it was my prior strategies that were ineffective, despite being oft-repeated as "the way to change" in countless books and blogs.
Is there a scientific explanation for this?
As I sought understanding, I found a plethora of scientific studies that had answers, with nobody to interpret them correctly. Based on the science - which you'll find peppered throughout Mini Habits - we've been doing it all wrong.
You can succeed without the guilt, intimidation, and repeated failure associated with such strategies as "getting motivated," New Year's Resolutions, or even "just doing it." In fact, you need to stop using those strategies if they aren't giving you great results. They don't work because they all require you to fight against your subconscious brain (a fight not easily won). It's only when you start playing by your brain's rules and taking your human limitations seriously--as mini habits show you how to do - that you can achieve lasting change.

What listeners say about Mini Habits
DanteIsLove
Changed my life (actually did, not clickbait)
I came from the book by the same author on Imperfectionism, and I see that Stephen truly is someone who is a blessing to my life.
I struggle with clinical depression and perfectionism and Stephen has made me feel so heard and validated. I actually kinda look forward to my life a little more now because my goals feel all the more in reach now.
Thank you for this great book. Truly.
ArealGrant
I couldn't stop till I had all the notes. now able to apply the method.
I would highly recommend this book for starting mini habits in your life ...it works! I love it!
Gloria E Thompson
I really enjoyed this book I read it in 2 days i like the idea of small steps looking forward to beginning a new journey
Breaks Things Down Into Tiny Do-able Bits
This isn't a book that will wow you with facts and research and science. Instead, it is a book that makes huge and often overwhelming goals possible. The theory and method presented are based on the author's personal experiences of creating change in his own life. I agree with other reviewers -- there is something strangely liberating about the idea of setting your goals so low that you can easily meet them. Then from these tiny goals bigger change begins and builds. Worth a listen if you need a new and simple approach for attacking the problem of feeling bogged down and want to start building new daily habits. A positive listen.
Mini Habits May Work for You (and Myself)
Although it is a small book and the writer tries hard to fill it up with scientific knowledge, the soul of Mini Habits is simple: create few-- up to 4-- mini habits, even laughable ones (like do one push up), and follow the script (or don't break the chain).
And yes, it may work.
I did something like that when I was writing my first book. At the time I was a resident at a cardiology hospital, my wife was pregnant, and I told myself: write one page a day and please don't break the chain. Most of the days I wrote 3 pages, and couldn't get hold of myself. I completed the book before my daughter was born.
Now for my second book I cannot write one page a day-- It seems too much effort. I have 2 kids, many patients to see, well, almost impossible (or so I think). And I postpone. I know that I could find time to write. Maybe if I told myself: "write 5 LINES each day" I could had completed my second book years ago.
Good idea, Stephen Guise!
T. Bennett
Best Goal Book I've Read
If you've read at least 3 self help books you know that reading self help books won't change your life UNLESS you take action. If you've ever set a goal to do something huge and feel demoralized when you don't complete it, this book will teach you how to gain momentum and accomplish bigger goals by making your goals "stupid small."
This is the best self help book I've ever read because it taught me why big goals don't work for me and, more importantly it taught me how to get myself to take the actions I need to succeed.
Powerful Eric
Outstanding Book!
What made the experience of listening to Mini Habits the most enjoyable?
I have read countless books on self-improvement. This book is incredible! Buy this book now. I had a habit of setting big goals. I would even break down the big goals, but Mini Habits makes it easy for you to succeed! Thank you Stephen Guise for a great book! Also, thanks to Daniel Penz the narrator of the book to make it so easy to listen to. The narrator can make or break a audiobook. Well this is a grand slam!
turtlefarmgirl
Forget motivation - 'stupid small steps' are it
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
Absolutely. I've read a lot of time management books in my career - and a lot about getting motivated, dealing with procrastination, etc. This book has an entirely new perspective that I found very helpful and refreshing. Development of habits is far more important than motivation for maintaining forward progress. Seems to be well researched.
Who was your favorite character and why?
n/a but I like the tone and humor of the author.
What does Daniel Penz bring to the story that you wouldn't experience if you just read the book?
Penz is a good narrator for this author (who looks so young in his online posts that I might not have purchased the book if I had seen his picture first). On this topic, a natural instinct (at least for me) is that I want to hear from someone who's had more life/work experience.
It just surprised me at how it addressed an issue that I have that I've never seen addressed before: habits can take the emotion out of tasks so that you can do them whether you're "in the mood" or not.
Procrastination In A Whole New Light!
I enjoyed this book very much, including the narrator. And I asked myself this morning--after all the books I've read and listened to--why I was still procrastinating, checking off lists, putting lists into shorter lists, etc. etc. etc. Is it just me or does this book resonate with the very core of the problem, which is always the "getting started" part? This book is light (which I liked), but to the point. I began using it before I'd finished it, which was over two days. If you are someone who feels overwhelmed by the projects you want to do, I believe this book will help you. I'm sure I've never had a book get me moving so quickly and easily.
Surprised by how deeply helpful the thoughts in this book are
I started out listening to this book thinking that it sounded kind of gimmicky, but halfway through things clicked and I saw what he was talking about in my own life. I already, accidentally, have a whole lot of mini habits in process, some good and some bad. The further into the book I got the more powerful the concept became as I realized this dynamic is already existing in my life and he is showing me how to tap into that dynamic and leverage it for increased productivity.
ultamusicbuff
Finished in one day (ironic, given the theme)
Having just completed 7 books on the brain, habits and focus, this was the perfect book to sum it all up and take action. I am going to put measures in place to make sure I maintain the core principles.
Would you listen to Mini Habits again? Why?
No, because you don't have to listen repeatedly to get the idea.
What was one of the most memorable moments of Mini Habits?
It's not a fiction book, so no such thing to me.
Have you listened to any of Daniel Penz's other performances before? How does this one compare?
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
The idea is very good. I have been using it for several days. The general idea is that you should stick to stupidly small habits, such as one push-up a day, instead of bigger ones that need more will power. The whole book is just using different words to rephrase this idea. Very repetitive. But anyway, it's a great idea, so the idea itself is worth a credit. I have used it for 3 days now, and actually I am more on top of everything because of the mini habits. Will see how this works in the long run.
Lexlee
Great writing but a bit over acted by narrator
I will partially agree with the reviews saying the narrator's fake voices were distracting but I would still listen to this book. This book doesn't give the history or science of habits but it does something more important. This book shows you the small steps you can take on a daily basis to change your life in major ways. Listen to this book if you want to change your life by doing things things which sound way to easy to work. I am an example that they do work.
Sabine Macon
Livre exceptionnel, je dis rarement cela...

I'm kind of an obsessive listmaker. This is part of my librarian DNA, it cannot be helped. It is probably part of why I became a librarian in the first place: organizing, cataloging, indexing.
I live and die by the list.


Large 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom mobile home located near schools, dining and shopping. There is new flooring through out, fresh paint, new heating and cooling system, kitchen island and split bedroom floor plan. A lot of time and attention to detail has been put into the renovation. This is a must see. Call today for your appointment to view your new home.


The Children's Committee is an organization committed to helping advocate for laws which prohibit the use of therapeutic techniques on juvenile's in an effort to change their sexual orientation or gender identity. Members of the Children's Committee are driven to help support victims of conversion therapy in an effort to foster healing from exposure to abusive practices intended to change their sexual orientation or gender identity. Through education, awareness and action, we hope to empower advocacy and equality for the LGBTQ community.
The Children's Committee began on May 11, 2017. It's founder, Vellah Jones, is an advocate for the fight to end conversion therapy on minors. Her personal experiences with conversion therapy as a minor have fostered a dream of an America where LGBTQ children are protected from unjust and harmful efforts intended to change their sexual orientation or gender identity. Vellah's hope for justice and protection for LGBTQ youth stem from those who were there to help her survive and flourish in times of darkness.
Advocate for the institution of laws that prohibit the use of conversion therapy practices on minors intended to change their sexual orientation or gender identity in the 37 states which do not have these regulations.
We are all a sum of our parts and together we can move mountains to provide hope and justice to each other.
Apathy is the road to failure. It is silence and the blind eye which allow injustice and inequality to thrive.
We all have a responsibility to fight for the persons passing by. We must acknowledge the human rights of all people and fight to protect them from predatory ignorance which violate the innocent.
Education, awareness and action are the key components to fostering social change. Advocating with non-violent techniques is essential to success.
It is with great privilege we serve the mission of the Children's Committee. We welcome individuals who desire to contribute their knowledge and skill sets to help achieve protection and equality for LGBTQ youth.

The multi-stakeholder co-op model: An alternative to re-nationalisation

By Kate Whittle
The multi-stakeholder model is a good fit for co-operatives, according to the secretary of GO-OP Co-operative, which aims to be the first co-operatively owned open access train operator in the UK
As part of Stir To Action's New Economy workshop programme in London this month, Kate Whittle is running a one-day workshop on multi-stakeholder co-ops. Kate is involved with GO-OP Co-operative whose constitution is based on the Somerset Rules model, which was developed by Alex Lawrie at Somerset Co-op Services. Here she talks about why the multi-stakeholder model is such a good fit for co-ops – and why it works.
When most people talk about ownership, it's usually split between private or state ownership. Public ownership is often assumed to mean state ownership. So with our railways failing under private ownership, the predictable response is calls for re-nationalisation. But could there be an alternative? And could political figures associated with the post-war consensus be rethinking the future of ownership?
Instead of single stakeholder organisations — such as worker or consumer co-ops — the multi-stakeholder model extends ownership to different members. So in a publicly-owned railway, who would the members be? The obvious stakeholders are the passengers and the staff, but there would also be a role for investors, and others, for example trade union representatives.
By being more inclusive, more people have a direct interest in the success of the enterprise, and can be represented on the board of the co-operative. Ed Mayo, secretary general of Co-operatives UK, has argued that this model suits enterprises within the Transition movement "where the single-constituency member models don't seem quite to fit".
Another area where the multi-stakeholder co-operative model might be of interest is Community Supported Agriculture (CSA). The aim of the CSA is to share the risk between growers and consumers, to help growers and horticulturalists survive the risks and challenges of growing food. So the CSA will have different groups of stakeholders with different short-term interests but a shared long-term interest. The multi-stakeholder model presents an ideal structure to ensure the interests of both groups are clear and taken into account.
Where large amounts of capital need to be raised in order to get the co-operative business off the ground, the multi-stakeholder model is ideal. The co-operative will have two types of members – users and non-users – with the non-users providing the capital and receiving a modest return on their funds as well as the satisfaction of knowing that they are supporting a member-owned and democratically controlled, sustainable enterprise. Control of the co-operative is always in the hands of the users, however.
To find out more about the model, join Kate on 8 October to explore some examples of multi-stakeholder co-ops and take part in a practical exercise thinking about the design of a multi-stakeholder co-op. For more information, visit www.stirtoaction.com/workshops/multi-stakeholder-co-ops.

Guided both Monday and Wednesday. Fishing on Monday was tough with a lot of short bites and small fish. Shallow weeds in 3-6' gave up one decent walleye and some nice panfish. Also fished some humps with scattered wood and found a few more small walleye, but nothing livewell worthy. With heavy mid-day wind and waves we decided to fish sheltered areas with shoreline weeds which gave us a few more nice panfish.
Wednesday we started by fishing shallow wood and rock structure and this gave us a couple small walleyes as well as a decent one. We then fished a mud to rock transition in 9-11' and found a good number nice-sized perch and a couple of walleye mixed in. Hopefully this helps people find some fish.
Report from last 3 days: The most aggressive walleye have been coming out of shallower water (2'-4') with wood and weeds even during mid-day. Still catching a few in the 5'-10' range, but where I was fishing it seems the fish in this depth were a little sluggish and weren't nearly as aggressive as earlier in the week. Perch were relating to similar structure as walleye but in depths between 18"-10' . Both perch and walleye were caught on jig and nightcrawler. Hope this helps someone find fish, next report will be in about a week.

Huang, Jingbo (1998) Foreign trade policy reform in China. PhD thesis. SOAS University of London. DOI: https://doi.org/10.25501/SOAS.00028639
Along with its domestic economic transition, China has carried out a series of reforms in foreign trade and achieved significant policy changes. This thesis shows that China's export policies moved from strong government incentives to a state of market competition while import policies were switched from strict controls to significant liberalisation. In particular, the intensive trade policy reform in the 1990s demonstrated that China has been moving closer to trade liberalisation in line with most international trade practices. Besides providing a comprehensive and updated account of China's trade policy reforms, this thesis contributes to understanding of the field by arguing that: (1) Unlike the trade policy reforms in some other countries, China seems to be a unique case due to its special economic and political conditions, its exclusive reform targets, its cautious reform approach, as well as its sensitive position in the world economy. (2) Econometric tests carried out in this study showed that China's trade policy reforms have been effective, although not all of them were optimal. China's move towards freer trade is thus shown to be the right choice for the economy and is consistent with the view that trade can positively promote growth. (3) China has followed a path of gradual reform with strong government intervention. Given the undeniable achievements and the special natures of trade policy reform, China's experience implies that the route to trade liberalisation can be varied and must be adapted to the specific conditions in the reforming country. (4) Trade liberalisation in China has been less conspicuous in terms of reform measures (for example, tariff reductions) made in the past reform period, due mainly to the incompleteness of the market economy. (5) The biggest challenge facing China is still how to combine trade liberalisation and government intervention, in order to establish a "socialist free trade system". Continuous emphasis on government control may contain the risk obstructing a sustained trade policy reform. China needs to adopt a "market-first" reform strategy to complete the establishment of a full-functioning market economy. The concept of "Chinese characteristics" can only be well-developed in market systems rather than in making use of the market forces on the basis of a government regulated economy. The reforms in the past years have provided a foundation for China to go further towards trade liberalisation. China could, and should, move faster toward trade liberalisation.

An important function of the Hotpot Helper is to perform Wi-Fi scan list filtering. In the Wi-Fi pane in the Settings app, the user can browse the list of nearby Wi-Fi networks. A Wi-Fi network is annotated with the name of any Hotspot Helper that claims to handle that network. This name gives the user a visual cue that the network is one worth selecting over one that does not have an annotation.
The annotations are determined by the Wi-Fi scan list filtering process. The system asks each Hotpot Helper to provide feedback about the nearby Wi-Fi networks by issuing a kNEHotspotHelperCommandTypeFilterScanList command containing a list of Wi-Fi networks. In its response, the Hotpot Helper specifies every network that it supports with any confidence.


A bank overdraft does not actually result in cash flowing into a business. Instead, the individual is allowed to let its bank account become "overdrawn" – i.e. in the red, up to a certain agreed on maximum amount.
A good way to think about a bank overdraft is to imagine a bank current account which can have either a positive (i.e. cash in the bank) or negative (i.e. cash owed to the bank) status.
The maximum amount that the bank account can go into the red is known as the overdraft facility.
It is important to realise that a bank overdraft is essentially a short-term source of finance designed to cover temporary shortages of cash. If a person finds themselves using the expensive overdraft month after month, then it ought to consider whether a cheaper, long-term bank loan would be a more suitable source of finance.
In the case of outstanding bank overdrafts, the creditor may have the right to file a lawsuit against the consumer to force payment of the debt through a judgment.

Bank of Portugal sees economy growing 2% this year
The bank explains that the new growth forecast of 2% is due to the revision of data for 2017 and 2018 by INE.
Bank of Portugal l has revised upwards the growth forecast for the Portuguese economy for 2019, now expecting the economy to grow 2% instead of the 1.7% it predicted in June, but warns that the upwards revision is due to the revision made by the National Institute of Statistics (INE), which significantly affected the data for 2017 and 2018. The institution continues to predict a slowdown in the economy, in the same dimension as in June.
Portuguese economy is expected to grow 2% this year, three tenths more than the forecast made in June, says the Banco de Portugal in the October issue of the Economic Bulletin published this Thursday. The update of the forecasts, however, does not point to an improvement in the Portuguese economy next year.
With the revision of the national accounts base carried out by INE last month, the GDP figure was revised upwards, with last year's growth rate being revised from 2.1% to 2.4%. The Bank of Portugal estimates that this base effect will have an impact on the growth rate forecast for this year, which has now adjusted to 2%, a growth rate higher than expected by the Government – which is 1.9%, but this forecast was made before the revision made by the National Institute of Statistics.
"The higher GDP growth projected for 2019 stems mainly from the incorporation of the new series of national accounts recently published by INE. The incorporation of this new information has significant implications on the level of growth and the intra-annual profile of the main macroeconomic aggregates, so that the projection is not directly comparable with that published in June", explains the central bank.
Despite the revision of the projections, Bank of Portugal continues to anticipate a slowdown in the economy this year, and of the same size as expected in June, with a slowdown of 0.4 percentage points from 2018.

Watching out for too-near hippos at night and too-curious monkeys by day, I've been fortunate to do my training work all over the globe. From -72 Celsius/-96 Fahrenheit to +44 Celsius/111 Fahrenheit I've run the gamut of intriguing work places and spaces.
Recently I found myself in a tiny plane, hop skip and a jumping tiny towns until we landed in Sioux Lookout. I was there to give a two day workshop on being a leader in a multicultural community. As Sioux is a hub for 29 First Nations I asked my client if I could speak to an Elder before the training to check in on what was culturally appropriate.
That led me to the delightful Garnet. I liked his warm, friendly tone right away and the noisy background over the phone when we spoke (his granddaughter was soon off to a sewing lesson and his dog was making itself known). Garnet kindly let me know that having Elders open and close each day would be expected, as would a gift of tobacco from myself.
Off I went in search of tobacco and eventually that's how I came to be loosing myself in the hypnotic drumming the Elders did for each opening and closing of our days. Experience it yourself – listen to some drumming done by Elders in Sioux Lookout.
I'd always thought (an unexamined assumption) that the singing that goes along with the drumming was in a local language. Not so in this case.
Mervin, the Elder pictured above, taught us that the spirit of the drum is communicating with the drummer's spirit, that the language is a language the spirits understand. He went on to say that you become a drum keeper through a series of dreams and that drums play certain roles depending on the song e.g. healing, fun, play etc.
Training & development cultural lessons?
check out beforehand what's appropriate – what are the cultural practices around opening and closings for example?
check out while you're there what's appropriate – is it okay to take pictures, to record sound, to record audio? In my case it was okay to take pictures and record audio but not do a visual recording of the drumming.
keep your head up and your eyes, ears and heart open – you just never know what will happen in a different cultural context. It's a wonderfully rich setting to challenge yourself as a trainer.
Stay tuned for more upcoming posts on cultural issues to take into account when doing training.

Wolverine Has Record Quarter
ROCKFORD — Wolverine World Wide Inc. reported a record $184 million in second quarter 2003 revenue, up from $169 million for the second quarter of last year.
Earnings per share increased to 23 cents for the quarter, up 2 cents per share from the prior year.
Earnings per share for the first six months of the year also reached record levels of $375.5 million and 41 cents per share, respectively. That compares with $346.6 million in revenue and 36 cents earnings per share for the first half of 2002.
The Merrell business achieved its 22nd consecutive quarter of growth with a mid-teens sales increase.
Merrell's sales gains for the first half were running ahead of the company's 15 percent growth plan for 2003, said President and CEO Timothy O'Donovan. The brand saw double- digit sales increases in the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Europe and other international markets.
Sales of Merrell in Europe actually doubled in the first six months of the year, he said.
"Merrell had an outstanding response at the recently completed ISPO sporting goods trade show in Munich. During the show, Merrell opened 48 new accounts in Germany and Austria alone."
The brand has a strong fall lineup, O'Donovan said, and while delivery of fall products is just beginning, initial selling reports are strong.
The company plans to expand the Merrell line to include socks, with initial deliveries scheduled for the fourth quarter of this year. That will be followed by a backpack and luggage launch in the second quarter of next year.
"These new line extensions are one more step in building a stronger connection with the growing number of Merrell enthusiasts around the world," O'Donovan said.
While Merrell continues to be the major growth driver, Wolverine's other major brand business groups — Hush Puppies, Caterpillar Footwear and the Wolverine Footwear — reported sales and profit increases in the first six months, as well.
After a strong first quarter, Hush Puppies global sales were down slightly in the just ended quarter, a decrease O'Donovan attributed to lower reorders in the United States, as well as reduced sales to off-price retailers. A new fall product from the Hush Puppies Crush collection was recently delivered and initial sales are strong, he said.
Double-digit sales gains for the Harley Davidson, Bates and Stanley brands more than offset lower sales of Wolverine boots. Shipments of Wolverine boots were up in the quarter but average prices were lower, a trend O'Donovan said the company has seen for the past several quarters.
Harley Davidson continues to build business through its dealer network and is expanding distribution to department, show and specialty boot stores. O'Donovan noted that "200 new doors were opened" in the first half of the year.
The company's Bates Uniform footwear business is having a record year. In addition to introducing a new line of technical, ultra-light footwear for the civilian uniform market, Bates has expanded its franchise in the military market with introduction of what O'Donovan referred to as "technically superior" foot products.
Caterpillar footwear sales were up more than 10 percent. The European CAT distribution business Wolverine acquired 18 months ago had a particularly good quarter, with sales driven by strong performances in the United Kingdom and French markets, he added.
"We've had our challenges with the Caterpillar footwear businesses as work-inspired lifestyle boots took a back seat with some young consumers to retro-athletic and lower profile active casuals," O'Donovan observed.
"While we're not predicting a sudden reversal of these fashion trends, we do see renewed interest from fashion-forward accounts in both Europe and the U.S. for the classic CAT product, as well as the CAT work-inspired active casual product."
Wolverine World Wide's sales goal is for 2003 is $875 million to $885 million, and its earnings-per-share goal is $1.21 to $1.24.
