The majority of the freshwater fishes in the pet store are raised in captivity on fish farms, while the vast majority of the marine fishes are taken from the wild. Taking aquarium fish from the wild usually involves removing them from coral reefs. While this can be done safely and sustainably, very often it comes with damage and destruction to reefs. Switching to raising marine fish in captivity could assure sustainable practices and remove pressure from beleaguered coral reefs. However, raising marine fish in captivity is harder than raising freshwater fishes. Marine fish eggs hatch into tiny larvae that float around for weeks or months in the ocean before transforming into juvenile fish and settling into coastal habitats. Larvae look very different from the adult, and what they eat is mostly unknown. This contrasts with the lifestyle of freshwater fishes, most of which have very short larval stages or even hatch looking like miniature adults. Finding what marine fishes eat while in the larval stage would improve the chances of raising them in captivity.
The purpose of this research is to use advanced DNA technology to resolve what larvae of marine fish are eating. Captured wild larvae are processed to use DNA barcodes in identifying the species in their stomachs, which can be tiny shrimp, jellyfish, and larvae of other species. Very often prey items in the larvae's stomachs are impossible to identify visually, as they are broken apart and partially digested, but using their remnant DNA for identification provides a big leap forward.
In a pilot project with University of Hawai'i Sea Grant (2020 – 2022), we proved that this technology works, and have already established the typical prey items from the larvae of a dozen fish species. In this work (2022 – 2024), we seek to expand this analysis to more fish species, and develop DNA barcodes to identify more prey species, while keeping a sharp focus on the species of commercial interest, both in the aquarium trade and as popular food choices. Eventually, we will work with industry partners to decide which fishes and prey items are good prospects for raising in captivity. Our ultimate goal is to create a new dimension of the aquaculture industry, both to enhance food security and to create jobs in coastal communities, as well as to take pressure off declining coral reefs and depleted marine fish stocks.

Q: type annotation for return type of method where that depends on an attribute of the class Say I have:
class A: pass
class B: pass

class Foo:

  factory: Type = A

   def make(self) -> ?:
       return self.factory()

class Bar(Foo):

   factory: Type = B

What type annotation do I use on make to indicate that the type returned is that of the factory attribute?

A: Use generics.
from typing import TypeVar, Generic, Type

T = TypeVar('T')

class A:
    pass

class B:
    pass

class GenericFooerBarrer(Generic[T]):
    factory: Type[T]

    def make(self) -> T:
        return self.factory()

class Foo(GenericFooerBarrer[A]):
    factory: Type[A] = A

class Bar(GenericFooerBarrer[B]):
    factory: Type[B] = B

To match exactly as you wanted you would of want a default type for generic such that Foo is generic with default.
Generic default is only planned for python 3.12, so you'll have to wait just a bit.

It seems like everyone is talking about Missional Communities these days. We are one of the voices advocating them, of course! However, one of the things we often say to the leaders and teams going through our Learning Communities is that Missional Communities aren't really the point. They're great and important, but only insofar as they lead us to our real destination as the people of God; the dynamic and powerful reality of becoming an extended family on mission all the time.
It's almost noon, and the house is saturated with the rich scent of roasted turkey, sweet potatoes, and pumpkin pie. Every family or friend invited prepared and brought food to share with everyone else. A few people came over early to help Mom and Dad make sure the house was ready for guests.
Some of the adults and older children are finishing up a game of touch football in the backyard while a few of the younger kids play tag. Your uncle brought a friend from work, a die-hard Detroit Lions fan who is glued to the TV with a couple of other people taking in the pregame show. Several others are talking in the kitchen as they put the finishing touches on the Thanksgiving feast they will all be eating in 20 minutes or so.
After sitting down at the table with one another for a laid-back, longer-than-usual lunch filled with laughter and connection, the day will continue—together. Some will begin putting away leftovers and washing the dishes. Some will immediately settle into chairs and couches for the football game (and probably a nap). Some will go back outside to play more touch football. Some will strike up conversations with cousins they haven't seen in a while.
Eventually, those who are hungry will get the leftovers back out for an informal supper. Some will be reading a beloved book on the couch, while others will be talking. The gathering will last well into the evening. Some will need to go home; others will spend the night. Before adjourning, they'll make plans to do things tomorrow.
It may sound strange to compare Missional Communities to an extended family gathering around the Thanksgiving table. But that's where we have to begin. Why? Because ultimately we believe that Missional Communities, while enormously valuable, are only as valuable as their ability to get us to our true destination, a reality we call oikos.
Oikos is a Greek word used in the New Testament to refer to "households," which were essentially extended families who functioned together with a common purpose. In the early church, discipleship and mission always centered around and flourished in the oikos. This vehicle facilitated the relational dynamic that allowed the church to thrive in the midst of persecution and hardship for hundreds of years. Oikos still helps the church thrive today, even in places where persecution is quite severe. We are absolutely convinced that oikos is what the church needs to reclaim if it is going to become the kind of movement the church was in its earliest days.
In fact, living as oikos has been the norm for almost every culture for most of human history. It's just how family was—not 2.4 children in a single-family home but a wider community sharing life and work and celebration and commerce together. Only in the last hundred years or so in the West have we lost this sense of being extended families on mission. For a whole host of reasons, we have unwittingly embraced the fragmentation of the extended family and tried to live primarily as individuals and nuclear families. The results of this experiment have been utterly disastrous, and you probably see the aftermath all around you. Loneliness and depression are rampant, we are more stressed and busier than ever, and many people feel they are barely keeping their heads above water as they try to advance in their careers, raise their children, and seek some semblance of meaning in life.
In the midst of this sea of chaos and confusion, however, those of us who follow Christ have the remarkable opportunity to literally rebuild society by re-forming "extended family" oikos communities centered not on blood or ancestry, but on Jesus. Our commission is to compassionately reach out to those around us, invite them to join us in community, share the story of the gospel, make disciples, and gather them into families to follow Jesus together.
That's really what being a Missional Community is all about. This is not a fad or the latest church growth technique or a new name for cell groups. It is rediscovering the church as oikos, an extended family on mission where everyone contributes and everyone is supported. So, it isn't that Missional Communities aren't important. They are, and that's why we wrote a new book about them. But they are simply the initial vehicle we learn to drive that gets us to the real destination: learning to live as oikos, extended families functioning together on mission with God.
We believe oikos is something the Spirit of God is doing in this time to restore the church's ability to function fruitfully in discipleship and mission the way the early church did, publicly living out our faith in the various neighborhoods and relational networks of our cities. We firmly believe this is the make-or-break issue for the Western church. We simply will not see God's dream for the world come true unless we learn how to function as extended families on mission. Missional Communities help us re-learn how to do this.
So of course we think Missional Communities are important, but only because they are a vehicle that takes us to the true destination; the dynamic reality of oikos.


Thanks for visiting Inside Outside Nature! Summertime is vacation time, and this blog is taking a short vacation. I'll be back again on August 27th with weekly nature activities and new Mystery Contest clues. In the meantime enjoy these ideas for summer fun in nature. All you have to do is just open your door and go outside.
And although reading is usually an inside activity, it doesn't have to be. As a child, I remember curling up with a book under the branches of a leafy birch tree after a morning of swimming and playing.
Sunshine on My Shoulders by John Denver and Christopher Canyon. Sunshine This book celebrates friendship, sunshine and the simple joy of being together. Canyon's illustrations abound with light, color and lots of humorous detail.
Discover the Seasons by Diane Iverson. This book is a wonderful tool, with exquisite illustrations, charming poems, simple text that will stimulate discussion, plus hands-on activities and seasonally-appropriate recipes.
Eliza and the Dragonfly by Suzie Caldwell Rinehart and and Anisa Claire Hovemann. The science about dragonflies is perfectly integrated into a story in which the dragonfly's remarkable metamorphosis from a mucky nymph ("Eeeewww," says Eliza) to a beautiful winged creature ("Magnificent!" is Aunt Doris' refrain) is a metaphor for the magic of Eliza's growing up.
Girls Who Looked Under Rocks by Jeannine Atkins and Paula Conner. This book portrays the youths and careers of six remarkable women whose curiosity about nature fueled a passion to steadfastly overcome obstacles to careers in traditionally men-only occupations. An excellent chapter book for preteen girls.
John Muir: My Life with Nature by Joseph Cornell. Written as an "autobiography" taken from Muir's own words, it brims with his spirit and adventures. The book includes numerous "explore more" activities that help the reader to understand and appreciate Muir's many wonderful qualities.
Let a cricket help you estimate the temperature. The warmer the temperature, the faster a cricket will chirp; the cooler, the slower the chirps. Count cricket chirps for 15 seconds. Add 40 to get the approximate temperature in Fahrenheit degrees.
Choose from any of the following activities from nature authors: Joseph Cornell (Sharing Nature with Children), Richard Louv (Last Child in the Woods), and David T. Sobel (Childhood and Nature: Design Principles for Educators). I've also included related books.
Explore your neighborhood for special spots.
Watch birds. Put up a feeder and birdbath.
Collect lightning bugs at dusk. Release them at dawn.
Raise butterflies from caterpillar to chrysalis to emerging butterfly to egg back to caterpillar.
Discover animal signs. Look for footprints, mole holes, and other signs that an animal has passed by or lives nearby.
Build a tree house, fort, or hut.
Set up a backyard weather station. Watch the clouds.
Find a favorite tree and visit it again and again throughout the year.
Keep a terrarium or aquarium.
Find a hidden universe. Place a piece of scrap wood on bare dirt. Wait two days and lift the board. Find how many creatures have found shelter there. Identify them with the help of a field guide. Return once a month to discover who's new.
Use a hand lens to observe bugs, leaves, and bark. Crawl under bushes to find what's hiding there.
Collect stones, rocks, shells, and fossils.
Find an adult nature companion. All of the Earth Heroes had an adult—their father, mother, or grandparent—who encouraged them to explore nature at an early age.
Establish a "green hour" as a new family tradition. Everyone does an activity outside. It may be just watching the stars come out.
Play "I Am Aware Of" with a partner. Go for a walk and take turns pointing out interesting sights and sounds.
"Sooo cute!" the little girl next to me cooed. "Look at that!" someone behind me laughed. The antics of the sea otters at the Monterey Bay Aquarium transformed a group of strangers into instant friends as we pressed close to the viewing window. When one of the otters cruised by just in front us, we all gasped in unison. A similar scene played out in front of the sea horses, puffins, and turtle exhibits. Watching all the colorful sea creatures swimming around in larger-than-life tanks can seem pretty magical, especially to young kids.
Monterey Bay Aquarium is designed to keep a child's attention from start to finish. There are interactive displays, live feeding shows, and lots of touchable displays. But there's more to a great exhibit than just fish. "Research shows that hands-on features — like opportunities to touch marine life — sustain interest, spark learning, and create a fun visit for the whole family," says Angela V. Graziano, of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.
Giving kids an experience at an aquarium or zoo can go a long way in sparking an interest in the animal world, AND it doesn't replace a real experience in nature. That lesson was brought home to me when we left the aquarium and went to nearby Elkhorn Slough. There we saw over two dozen otters floating together in the calm waters of the marina. We zipped up our jackets against the salty breeze as pelicans soared in formation. Seals barked across the lagoon. I wished that every child who I just saw in the aquarium could have this experience too!
After a visit to an aquarium, kids can create their own aquarium inside a clear plastic cup or glass using jello and small pieces of candy.
Make the jello following the instructions on the box. Put it in the refrigerator, but do not let it set all the way. Check the consistency every 15 minutes. It should be a little thick and not watery, but still slightly mushy and moveable.
Sprinkle some colorful nerds into the bottom of the empty cup to become the gravel.
Slowly spoon in some jello, being careful not to mess up the gravel. How much jello you put in will depend on how high you want the water to come up.
Use Sour Sghetti's to look like eels, stickfish, or the seaweed that comes up from the gravel. The teddy grahams can swim or dive. Put a teddy graham in the middle of a gummy lifesaver and pretend it's a floatie. Let your kids imaginations run wild.
Put the finished "aquariums" back into the refrigerator to fully set the jello for about an hour, and then enjoy a cool treat.
Visiting the rocky shore offers an exciting look at ocean plants and animals in the place they call home. Though tide pool creatures survive harsh conditions, they're easily hurt or disturbed by human visitors. Using a homemade aquascope, you can watch tide pool life right where it is and leave the animals in their tide pool homes.
Paint the inside of the can with black paint (optional but helps viewing).
Cover the top and bottom rim of the can with plastic tape to cover the sharp edges.
Stretch the plastic bag or food wrap TIGHTLY over the bottom of the can.
Secure the plastic bag or wrap against the can with one or more heavy rubber bands.
Seal the edges of the plastic against the can with waterproof tape if available.
Enjoy a close-up view of the critters beneath the water's surface.
Set up a salt water aquarium in your home.

No 1 Pump Station Mundaring
Website: http://www.mundaringtourism.com.au/Lists/All%20Listings/DispForm.aspx?ID=105
The No 1 Pump Station Mundaring stands at the foot of Mundaring Weir and provides an opportunity to explore one of Australia's most significant industrial heritage sites. The pump station was opened in 1903 to transfer water from the Perth hills to the goldfields of Western Australia, a distance of 560 kilometres.
Open Days/times:Sat & Sun 12PM - 4PM
Museums:Local History,Other
Open Days:Saturday,Sunday
With its' specially developed 'interpretation machine' and a number of informative plaques on display to explain the history and vision of the site, you will be amazed at the stories and controversy surrounding its development.
The building and its 41.5 metre chimney is a fascinating display of late 19th Century architecture, and if you have a passion for historic machines, you will be struck by the genius of a technology that has seen ninety million litres of water pumped daily uninterrupted. You can see three of the original Babcock and Wilcox boilers, the Green's Economiser and one of the original Worthington triple expansion steam engines.
The No 1 Pump Station is the starting point for The Golden Pipeline Heritage Trail, which offers a range of walk and cycle trails around the weir.

Q: JDO Appengine Paradigmns I've just started dabbling in google ape engine.  Right now I'm using JDO with the datastore to persistent my data. Pretty cool so far and I have most everything working the way I want.  However, I have a few standard practice questions.  My instinct tells me there are several design choices i made that aren't the best if not outright bad.
Do you generally have a "wrapper" type class to handle gets, updates, inserts and deletes for each persistent object?(this feels like overkill)
I don't do any type checking on Query.execute?(this really seems wrong)
All my classes use IDGeneratoryStrategy.IDENTITY in each object which could be in a base class I guess?
As i said I just started dabbling in this as the questions above demonstrate but any input or links would be greatly appreciated.  FYI my end result is to use the app engine as the datastore for android apps.  However, the more I've see of appengine I think I can use it for more things than just storing data for my android apps.

A: Wrapper type : no, why should you? You use what makes sense for your application, and if something gets unwieldy you redesign it. All apps are different.
Type checking on Query.execute : JDO implementations check types of data passed in, and you could go further and use DataNucleus JDO Typesafe queries also (likely part of JDO3.2 at some point). You need v2 of the GAE JDO plugin for that
IDENTITY strategy part of a base class : inadvisable to do that ... having that as the base class means that all ids of all objects are common (i.e all in same inheritance tree), and all id values come from the same source. Better to have classes structured based on role.


The way I write CSS changes, so I thought I'd record how I'm doing it right now so I can refer to it later, or possibly look back and laugh.
I'm still using BEM, although probably less now as BTB's existing projects don't make us of it, & it'd be odd of me to introduce a naming scheme to existing projects.
What I'm doing more and more is just using a hyphen. .box, .box-wrapper, .box-content, .box-title etc.
I love using SCSS, although setting it up annoys me. Currently at BTB we do this using a Gulp task, which I have a shortcut for in Sublime.
This uses the ampersand after a selector to select it's parent, which is amazing (more about that here).
I like to keep the breakpoints in variables, which makes them shorter, and easier to change in the future – not that I ever have! I just like it easier to type! (I also liked doing this in Bootstrap).
Adding the media query inside the component makes it easier to find too, as I like to group things together rather than chasing separate styles in another media query elsewhere.
Because I'm using Foundation (still not preferring it to Bootstrap, but it's growing on me) I've been using it's own file structure, which is multiple sass files in a "components" folder.
In my first project using Foundation for BTB I noticed everything was measured in REMs instead of pixels, which I found a bit odd – especially because it's difficult when inspecting a page with developer tools to figure out what this seemingly arbitrary number in REMS used as a width actually means.
I'm still unsure on REMS. Although I've been using EMs for a long time for font sizes, I didn't see the point in REMs. And I'm still a bit unsure of the benefits, but Foundation mostly uses them, and in many cases provides a converter function – rem-calc() – to make sure all units are in a consistent metric (definitely useful when you're doing calculations).
I tried a while ago camel casing my classnames, but it was a short stint that ended up irritating me. Now I like to hyphenate everything, which is fine, because CSS is mostly hyphenated anyway.
I've been using Subversion, which is… fine. It's nice and customisable. Although I miss PHPStorm's ability to easily format a CSS or HTML document's tabbing (if it all goes pear-shaped). Subversion has this, and there are several plugins, but many seem to get confused, and don't format quite as nicely as PHPStorm.
I also miss PHPStorm's ability to automatically detect you're using SASS and compile it on the fly. Using Gulp is fine, and I still think I'll have to use it for projects (especially to compile JS), but it's so nice when moving between projects not having to run gulp each time, or when setting up a new project not having to npm install, gulp install, bower install etc, which irritates me.

TIP! Even your handbag must fit into your outfit, including your other baggage. If you are carrying a briefcase as well, make sure that the whole unit matches.
Fashion doesn't have to be elusive when it comes to you and your life. Just because others think things are fashionable, that may not apply to you. Personal taste varies from person to person, so it's up to you to find out what works. Keep reading for some helpful fashion tips you can use to create your own look.
TIP! When wearing sheer clothes, make sure the sheer parts are in the right areas. If you pick unwisely, you can run the risk of looking cheap, not classy.
Keep up with the latest styles. Styles are constantly changing, which is why you are going to want to make sure that you are always up to date with the latest there is to know. They generally stay abreast of the latest news.
TIP! Create a unique style that is all your own. You can create your own trends.
Create a look that is specific to you. There are many people that follow their own sense of style, but those with a sense of originality are those with who create their own style. You have to have a certain kind of personality to pull off fashion forward unique style, but if you try it, you can bask in multiple compliments for being different.
TIP! If your hair tends to frizz out of control, avoid rubbing it dry with a towel after you wash it. It will damage and frizz out your hair.
If you own a beauty kit, do not store a ton of makeup in it. Choose things that you are drawn to but that also fit the tone of the season. Think about what you will require for work and for downtime. Once you open up makeup, it may ruin. Makeup products can harbor bacteria, which can be transfered to your eyes and skin when applied.
TIP! If you are a larger size and would like to seem more slim, wear dark-colored blouses on top of dark-colored slacks or skirts. Dark colors will camouflage the shape of your body and will play down the bulges that you do not want to emphasize.
Being fashionable does not mean that everything must be perfect! Fashion is a very subjective topic, so there is no right and wrong. When you try to create perfection, your look appears forced. Some of the very best fashion looks are shown by people like model Kate Moss, who play up a singular flaw, like an unbuttoned shirt, messy hair or non-matching shoes.
TIP! Some people think fashion is just about clothing. Hair is just as important as anything that is being worn and can make the difference between a great look and a bad one.
Stay away from horizontal stripes if you're overweight. This puts emphasis on how wide your body is, making it look even wider. The best stripe pattern for everyone other than extremely thin woman is vertical stripes, as they make you look taller and leaner.
TIP! If you want to add some pizzazz during those warm-weather months, try dying your hair a brighter, bolder color. However, you should maintain your healthy hair so the color does not fade.
Consider wedged heels! These are popular now; on sandals or boots. A lot of women like this type of heel because it has a slimming effect and makes them look taller. When shopping for wedges, ensure that you pick a pair that is comfortable and easy to walk in.
TIP! Newsletters which focus on fashion topics are a great way to get trends right to your inbox. This will help to give you all of the information on the fashion trends that are in this season.
There is no need to go along with every popular fashion trend. What may look great on that runway model may make you look like a carnival side show. Follow what you like, not what others like. Rely on your instinct and individual taste when making fashion choices. It is the best way to go.
TIP! Make your lips fuller by using a lip lining pencil. Apply a sheen with petroleum jelly or gloss.
Newsletters which focus on fashion topics are a great way to get trends right to your inbox. This is a good way to stay up to date with the latest trends and get the fashionable items you need for your wardrobe before any of your friends start following the trend.
TIP! A strong foundation is what fashion is all about. You want a bra that correctly fits you to make your body look very appealing.
Know your body's strengths and weaknesses. Petite? Look for fitted styles and soft fabrics that enlongate your body and give you some bulk. If you have a large bust, try to draw attention away with bright pants and skirts. Pear-shaped women can offset the imbalance by wearing dark colors from the waist down, complemented with light colored blouses.
TIP! Don't feel down if someone comments on the way you are dressing. You don't have to dress perfectly.
TIP! Be quirky in your own way. Wear your shirt not totally buttoned or mismatch your shoes.
Don't worry about fashion rules; play with your own style. You will not realize if a certain item will look nice on you until the time you put it on. It is great to figure out how to create a whole new style or outfit by mixing and matching. One-of-a-kind outfits will set you apart from the crowd.
TIP! Bright, bold patterns are popular in the fashion industry at the moment, especially if they contain floral prints. Do not be shy to wear a floral dress, shirt and even pants.
Hopefully, this article has helped you learn how to acquire a personal style. It's hard to stay stylish in a world where trends come and go seemingly overnight. You may feel like you are always chasing the trends. Apply what you've just learned, and you won't go wrong.


Water, Land, Environment, and Climate Change Minister, Hon. Robert Pickersgill (right), plants an East Indian mango tree during the launch of the SCJ Holdings Limited's 'Navel String' tree planting project in February on the grounds of the National Water Commission's (NWC) Innswood Artificial Groundwater Recharge facility in St. Catherine. Observing (from left) are: Agriculture, Labour, and Social Security Minister, Hon. Derrick Kellier; Chief Executive Officer, SCJ Holdings Limited, John Gayle; and Chief Executive Officer, Forestry Department and Conservator of Forests, Marilyn Headley.
SCJ Holdings Limited (SCJH) is anticipating positive and favourable public response, particularly from young people, to its national 'Navel String' project, which targets the cultivation of one million trees islandwide, over the next four years.
This optimism stems from what the company's Chief Executive Officer, John Gayle, says is a growing appreciation by Jamaicans of the importance of trees in safeguarding the environment.
Mr. Gayle says there is also increased recognition of the health benefits to be derived from the consumption of fruits.
The Navel String project, being implemented at a cost of over $25 million, primarily aims to: increase food production; provide a source of fruits to boost agro-processing; provide employment; increase the country's stock of timber trees to provide lumber; safeguard the environment by fortifying and protecting watersheds; and support the national climate change initiative.
The initiative was launched in February at the National Water Commission's (NWC) Innswood Artificial Groundwater Aquifer Recharge facility in St. Catherine.
Its implementation is consistent with the Government's Job Creation and Economic Growth Strategic Priority, focusing on the development and growth of key productive sectors (agriculture/rural development), food security, and facilitating protection of the natural environment; as well as the Environmental and Climate Change Strategic Priority.
The SCJH is undertaking the project in partnership with several Ministries, Departments, and Agencies. These include: the Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries, under which the SCJH falls; Rural Agricultural Development Authority (RADA); Jamaica Agricultural Society (JAS); Forestry Department; Jamaica 4-H Clubs; and Social Development Commission (SDC).
Mr. Gayle informs that a substantial portion of the SCJH's over 100,000 acres of land has been identified for the initial planting of seedlings, and the process has commenced. These former sugar cane lands are situated in St. Thomas, St. Catherine, Clarendon, Westmoreland, and Trelawny.
"We have earmarked some 1,000 acres….in small parcels…which will be targeted…during the project's first two years," he says. He advises that these areas have been zoned as forest reserves, to safeguard them against potentially destructive illicit activities.
Mr. Gayle says, over time, lands in other areas are to be identified, zoned, and incorporated into the project.
The Chief Executive Officer informs that seedlings and other planting materials are being provided by the Ministry of Agriculture, through nurseries established at the research stations, as well as by the Forestry Department.
He says initial planting is already underway at some 39 primary and high schools affiliated with the Jamaica 4-H Clubs, and are situated close to SCJH property in the five parishes. Young people in SDC organisations have also been targeted for participation.
"We aim to ensure that children and, by extension, adults…understand the critical role that trees play in our development and…growth," he notes.
As it relates to funding for the project, Mr. Gayle informs that the SCJH is injecting "interim capital" until the local and multilateral partners come on board. "We are comfortable that we will source the funding… (based on) discussions with a number of partners," he says.
Mr. Gayle anticipates that the project will resonate among Jamaicans and continue to grow. "We are hoping that by laying this platform, everyone… (will) support us…by starting to plant trees. The vision is that, once we have accomplished this one million trees, the project will continue and grow," he says.
Agriculture Minister, Hon. Derrick Kellier, is commending the SCJH for embarking on the project and welcomed the inclusion of fruit trees.
He notes that there is a "hungry market…locally and overseas…for our…produce," which was confirmed during a recent visit to London, where he learnt of huge demand for local fruit.
"Whereas Jamaica may not have the huge acreages to compete with big countries in the production of certain crops, we do have the right flavours, and we must take advantage of niche markets, especially as it relates to the supply of tropical fruits, where we have a competitive advantage," the Minister says.
Water, Land, Environment and Climate Change Minister, Hon. Robert Pickersgill, in also applauding the initiative, notes that it will complement the national reforestation programme being undertaken by the Forestry Department, for which he has portfolio responsibility.
In her remarks, SCJH Chairperson, Donna Scott-Mottley, informs that the Navel String project evolved out of a need identified by the entity's board and management to undertake a partnership engagement that would create sustainable economic and social development.
She notes that the project title is synonymous with the rural custom of persons burying their children's birth cords at the root of trees, to which they have a particular attachment.
She says the hope is that Jamaicans will have a similar attachment to the project and plant trees to sustain the environment and contribute to the country's progress.
"What we want to do is create, in our people, a connectedness to this land…to make people understand that when we say that 'we are Jamaicans', it means something… that we are part of the birth of this country, (that) we are part of sustaining the development of this country, and we have to build the kind of nation of which we would be intensely proud," Mrs. Scott-Mottley says.
"I…thank everybody for the way in which they have responded to the (project's) naming…, and my hope is that all the young people, who participate in this programme, will find a connectedness to the trees," she adds.
"Both projects recognise that the sustainable management of Jamaica's watersheds and water resources is absolutely critical to the achievement of our Vision 2030 Jamaica goals, as well as the preservation of our environment, not just for ourselves, but future generations," he says.


How the hell can a supreme court uphold a policy twittered by a moron?
A policy not even discussed with the military advisors and leaders it influences!
A policy which contradicts international law and treaties.
A policy which has severe consequences for a group of people and said group of people don't get a say in the matter. They're not even asked their opinions.
Isn't this madness certified by courts?
It's not a court, it's a legislative body controlled by Republicans.
I would liketo know which decision of the court is discussed here.
The U.S. Supreme Court ruled that the U.S. military can bar openly transgender people from serving.
To paraphrase an old saying: If you're looking for perfect justice, look to GOD, because you're not going to find it on this planet.
As I have read it, they did not yet make a decision on the merit of the case.
Don't worry, they will. It seems the house is going after Kavanaugh, for some perjury or other. I hope they get him, SCOTUS members can be impeached. That dude should never have been ANY kind of judge much less SCOTUS. He talks all big and such about putting aside his own political bias but goes ahead and votes with his balls anyway.
"The United States Supreme Court has allowed President Donald Trump to enforce his policy of banning certain transgender people from the military.
Using a capital letter for trump comes from the BBC article. Not my choice, but a quote is a quote.
"...while challenges continue in lower courts"
Taht means that the merits of the case are under discussion. What the SCOTUS did was to allow the Administration to follow through with what they decided, until the (lower and probably at some Point the SCOTUS itself) Courts decide if the regulations are consistent with the constitution.
Yes. Exactly. So they found in favour of trump twittering policy.

Audiologists - What They Do
How to Advance (Advancement)
With experience, audiologists can advance to open their own private practice. Audiologists working in hospitals and clinics can advance to management or supervisory positions.
Audiologists held about 12,800 jobs in 2008. About 64 percent of all jobs were in healthcare facilities—offices of physicians or other health practitioners, including audiologists; hospitals; and outpatient care centers. About 14 percent of jobs were in educational services. Other jobs for audiologists were in health and personal care stores and in State and local governments.
Much faster than average employment growth is projected. However, because of the small size of the occupation, few job openings are expected. Job prospects will be favorable for those possessing the Au.D. degree.
Employment of audiologists is expected to grow 25 percent from 2008 to 2018, much faster than average for all occupations. Hearing loss is strongly associated with aging, so increased growth in older population groups will cause the number of people with hearing and balance impairments to increase markedly.
Medical advances also are improving the survival rate of premature infants and trauma victims, who then need assessment and sometimes treatment. Greater awareness of the importance of early identification and diagnosis of hearing disorders in infants also will increase employment. In addition to medical advances, technological advances in hearing aids may drive demand. Digital hearing aids have become smaller in size and also have quality improving technologies like reducing feedback. Demand may be spurred by those who switch from analog to digital hearing aids, as well as those who will desire new or first-time hearing aids because they are becoming less visible.
Employment in educational services will increase along with growth in elementary and secondary school enrollments, including enrollment of special education students.
Growth in employment of audiologists will be moderated by limitations on reimbursements made by third-party payers for the tests and services they provide.
Job prospects will be favorable for those possessing the Au.D. degree. Only a few job openings for audiologists will arise from the need to replace those who leave the occupation, because the occupation is relatively small and workers tend to stay in this occupation until they retire. Demand may be greater in areas with large numbers of retirees, so audiologists who are willing to relocate may have the best job prospects.
Median annual wages of audiologists were $62,030 in May 2008. The middle 50 percent earned between $50,470 and $78,380. The lowest 10 percent earned less than $40,360, and the highest 10 percent earned more than $98,880. Some employers may pay for continuing education courses. About 15 percent of audiologists were union members or covered under union contracts in 2008.

O navă spațială este o navă, o sondă, un vehicul sau o mașinărie proiectată pentru zboruri spațiale. Navele spațiale sunt folosite pentru o varietate de scopuri, cum ar fi comunicațiile, observarea pământului, meteorologia, navigația, colonizarea spațiului, explorarea planetară și transportul oamenilor și al mărfurilor. Toate navele spațiale, cu excepția vehiculelor cu o singură treaptă spre orbită, nu pot ajunge singuri în spațiu și necesită un vehicul de lansare (rachetă purtătoare).

Oamenii au realizat zborul în spațiu, dar doar câteva națiuni au tehnologia de lansare orbitală: Rusia (ASR sau "Roscosmos"), Statele Unite ale Americii (NASA), statele membre ale Agenției Spațiale Europene (AES), Japonia (JAXA), China (CNSA), India (ISRO), Taiwan (Institutul Național de Știință și Tehnologie Chung-Shan, Organizația Spațială Națională din Taiwan (NSPO), Israel (ISA), Iran (ISA) și Coreea de Nord (NADA).

Definiții
Nava spațială sub-orbitală este o navă spațială capabilă să zboare în spațiu și să se reîntoarcă pe Pământ. Pentru un zbor spațial orbital o navă spațială trece pe o orbită închisă în jurul corpului planetar. Navele spațiale utilizate pentru zbor spațial uman transportă oameni la bord, care pot fi membri ai echipajelor sau pasageri (turiști).
Navele spațiale utilizate pentru misiuni spațiale robotizate operează fie cu roboți autonomi, fie cu roboți teleghidați. Navele spațiale robotizate pot lansa în imediata apropiere a unui corp planetar sonde spațiale de cercetare. Navele spațiale robotizate care rămân pe orbită în jurul unui corp ceresc se definesc ca fiind sateliți artificiali ai respectivului corp. Navele spațiale pot transporta astronauți în spațiul cosmic pentru a ajuta la repararea de sateliți deteriorați sau nefuncționali.

Istorie
Primul satelit care s-a aflat pe o orbită în jurul Pământului a fost Sputnik 1, care a fost lansat 4 octombrie 1957 și a rămas pe orbită timp de câteva luni. În timp ce Sputnik 1 a fost prima navă care a orbitat în jurul Pământului, alte obiecte produse de om au ajuns anterior la o altitudine de 100 km, care este înălțimea minimă definită de Federația Internațională de Aeronautică la care are loc un zbor spațial. Această altitudine se numește linia Kármán. Astfel, în anii 1940 au avut loc mai multe lansări de rachete V-2, dintre care unele au depășit altitudinea de 100 km.

Zborul interstelar
Navele spațiale terestre construite pentru călătorii interstelare sunt doar un concept teoretic. Există doar câteva sonde ale căror traiectorii se pot categorisi ca interstelare, însă scopul lansării acestora a fost cercetarea unor obiecte cosmice din Sistemul Solar:
 Pioneer 10 (1972)
 Pioneer 11 (1973)
 Voyager 1 (1977)
 Voyager 2 (1977)
 New Horizons (2006)

There's something funky about McDonalds' Chicken McNuggets ... it's the price!
In a move likely cribbed from the Hamburglar, it seems the fast food chain is pulling a switcheroo when it comes to the pricing of its various McNugget meals, Walletpop.com alleges. In some cases, ordering more McNuggets may mean you'll actually be paying a higher price per nugget than you would for smaller orders. McWhaaa?
Walletpop scrutinized the Mickey D's menu and reports that the six-piece order of nuggets is less of a value at around 47 cents per nugget than the smaller four-piece, which comes out to roughly 45 cents per nugget.
Because customers tend to assume that value increases as the portions get larger, McDonald's may be pulling off a subtle "sleight of hand" by nudging up the price of the popular six-piece, Walletpop says.
The 10- and 20-piece nuggets do offer a better deal than their smaller counterparts, at 36 cents and 29 cents per nugget, respectively. But hold that 20-piece order: in most areas, where 20 nuggets cost about $7, you can save two dollars by ordering five four-piece orders off the Dollar Menu.
"Rest assured this is absolutely not a scam. First and foremost, price and participation may vary because we do not set prices at our restaurants.
"That said, without a doubt, it is our goal to provide everyday value across our entire menu, including McNuggets."
Even so, you might want to do some careful calculating to get the most for your money next time you belly up to the Golden Arches.

Michael Conti made his second visit to victory lane in the 2018 NASCAR PEAK Antifreeze iRacing Series, taking the checkered flag at Dover International Speedway to wrap up the first round of the playoffs. Conti led 79 of 200 laps and beat championship competitor Ryan Luza by 3.1 seconds. Fellow playoff driver Bobby Zalenski was third but failed to advance into the final four. Michael Guest finished fourth, the highest finishing non-playoff driver. Nick Ottinger rounded out the top five and he too fell just short of making the finale.
Corey Vincent captured his first pole of the season but only led 6 laps before losing the lead on pit road under the first caution flag. Zack Novak decided to stay out since only a handful of laps were run and assumed the lead. On the restart both Conti and outside polesitter Keegan Leahy got the jump on Vincent, dropping him to fourth.
Novak could only hold the lead for three laps after the restart before Leahy motored around him, bringing Conti along as well. The duo looked to check out on the field as the field strung out. The race would go green until Lap 51 when Novak got together with Timmy Hill and crashed, bringing out the second yellow flag of the evening.
The caution drew the leaders into the pits for service with Leahy's crew holding serve, returning him to the track in the lead. Leahy looked to have the better short run car as he quickly gapped Conti on the restart. Conti, however, had the speed on the long run and by Lap 90 was filling up Leahy's rear-view mirror. Passing Leahy proved difficult, though and Conti's attempt was interrupted by the third and final caution flying on Lap 98 for Taylor Hurst's crash on the backstretch.
This time Conti won the battle off pit road and took over the lead. Unlike the runs before, Conti found short run speed as well, pulling away from Leahy a few laps after the restart. Leahy would reel Conti in but started to falter again once the gap had closed. Instead of riding in Conti's tire tracks, Leahy chose to attempt an undercut and pit on Lap 138 hoping his fresher tires would put him far enough ahead of Conti when the pit cycle completed.
Conti waited until Lap 146 to pit and emerged several seconds behind Leahy, albeit with fresher tires. He quickly closed the gap, slicing through traffic as he went. With 40 laps to go Conti had nearly erased the gap and looked to make his move. Leahy successfully held him off for a few laps by running a defensive line, but Conti's tire advantage was too much and with 36 laps remaining he surged back in front.
From there Conti had clear sailing to his second victory as Leahy slipped all the way to eighth with his older tires.
The final four contenders are set heading into the championship race, headlined by three former series champions. Conti, with two wins and the 2014 championship under his belt comes in as the favorite with his first-round performance. However, he will face tough competition from last year's champion Luza and three-time champion Alfalla. Matt Bussa, the underdog of the group, has his first shot at a title.
Homestead-Miami Speedway once again plays host as the finale with the champion being the driver of the four who finishes best. Conti has looked extremely strong the last couple months and seems poised to capture his second title. Can anyone stop him? Find out in two weeks as the 2018 NASCAR PEAK Antifreeze iRacing Series comes to a close in Homestead!

C. use the aqcuired knowledge in solving their own problems.
1. Stopping smoking is a problem when you decide you want to stop but cannot.
2. A computer malfunction is a problem if it prevents you completing work on time.
3. An excessive workload is a problem when it interferes with your ability to work effectively.
4. Poor communication is a problem when it reduces the efficiency of an organization.
Problems arise when an obstacle prevents us from reaching an objective, e.g. when a breakdown in a company's manufacturing plant (the obstacle) prevents it from fulfilling orders (the objective).
The problem solving process can be divided into different methods and the stages have been given various labels. This has been done to make it easier to understand it, but the way it is divided and the labels that are used are not important. To be a successful problem solver you need to understand what the stages involve and follow them methodically whenever you encounter a problem.
Problem solving requires two distinct types of mental skill: analytical and creative.
Analytical or logical thinking includes skills such as ordering, comparing, contrasting, evaluating and selecting.
It provides a logical framework for problem solving and helps to select the best alternative from those available by narrowing down the range of possibilities (a convergent process). Analytical thinking often predominates in solving closed problems, where the many possible causes have to be identified and analyzed to find the real cause.
Creative thinking is a divergent process, using the imagination to create a large range of ideas for solutions.
It requires us to look beyond the obvious, creating ideas which may, at first, seem unrealistic or have no logical connection with the problem. There is a large element of creative thinking in solving open problems.
Surprised to start with this step? Not many problem-solving processes include this step, yet it is absolutely crucial. Think how often we spend time and resources on problems which don't necessarily demand such attention. Ask yourself "Is it the right problem to solve?". This is also one of the most important stages in our seven-step problem solving technique. Why?
Well too often our approach to problem solving is reactive, we wait for the problems to arise. So firstly in our seven step problem solving process, we advocate taking a proactive approach, go and find problems to solve; important and valuable problems. The real starting point then for any problem solving process is to find the right problem to solve.
It is very tempting to gloss over this step and move to analysis and solutions. However, like the first step, it is one of the secrets of effective problem solving and helps to differentiate our seven-step problem solving technique. Combining problems that are valuable to solve, with defining exactly what you are trying to solve, can dramatically improve the effectiveness of the problem solving process. The secret to defining the problem is really about attitude. Try to see every problem as an opportunity.
This is the crucial attitude which will then help you define the problem in a way that focuses on the potential and opportunity in the situation. Peter Drucker advocates that we should starve problems and start feeding opportunities. Perhaps because we don't see the right problems to solve or the opportunity in solving them. Essentially Drucker suggests that we should move from focusing on the problem to focusing on the opportunity.
Analysis is a process of discovery of the facts, finding out what you know about the situation. The problem solving activity question checklist leads you through a set of questions to identify the nature of the problem and to analyze what it is and what it is not.
• Who can? – do something about the solution.
These questions are fundamental management tips. They help us to identify the people who need to come together, in order to take appropriate action to solve an issue or realize an opportunity.
The previous steps have already revealed plenty of possibilities for solving the problem and realizing the opportunities. At this stage, it is important to give time and space for creative solutions. Placing a high value on the ideas of others is a crucial leadership concept and facilitator skill when generating ideas to solve problems.
We have already suggested that for effective problem solving you need to ensure that you find the right problems to solve and then ask yourself what opportunities are created by solving this problem. But how to focus on opportunities?
• create forward momentum and move to action.
A rich range of possible solutions opens up opportunities. When you consider you have plenty of ideas with potential, it's time to make a decision.
1. Operational validity – Can you take action on this idea, or can you only talk about it? Can you really do something right away to bring about the kind of future you desire?
2. Economic validity – Will the idea produce economic result? What would be the early indicators that it was working?
3. Personal commitment – Do you really believe in the idea? Do you really want to be that kind of person, do that kind of work, and run that kind of business?
Take your time to answer these questions. You may well find that many of the other stages in our business goal-setting article can help with the problem solving process. Especially if the problem is of organizational significance and its solution could affect the direction the business or unit takes.
• chosen the best alternative after considerable deliberation.
To implement first make sure that you follow project management guidelines, particularly to be clear on the outcomes, ask yourself what will be different when you solve the problem and realize the opportunity. Secondly define what the objectives are; these should clearly demonstrate how you would get to the outcomes. Gaining clarity on these and acceptance from the various stakeholders is crucial for your success.
• Deliver it – test and ensure it has met the outcomes.
Make sure that the three "who's" are with you!
• The effectiveness of the solution you implemented. Did it deliver the outcomes you expected?
Why people fail to solve problems effectively?
• failure to ensure effective implementation.
• A problem exists when an obstacle prevents you from reaching an objective.
• Problem solving can be divided into stages, which you must follow methodically if you want to be sure of finding an effective solution.
• Solving problems effectively requires a controlled mixture of analytical and creative thinking skills.
The success of a company can depend largely on the ability of its staff to solve problems effectively, both in their day-to-day work and through innovation. This applies not only to senior management, but to all levels in an organization.
It's not enough simply to teach effective problem solving techniques. The working environment has a very powerful influence on the individual's ability to solve problems effectively and it needs to be supportive and stimulating. To be truly effective in your work and to contribute to the success of your organization, you need to be aware of the influence of the working environment on problem solving.
• help to create an environment which will support others in their problem solving.
Possessing good problem solving skills does not make people automatically use them to the benefit of the organization. They need encouragement, support and guidance in applying them to the organization's problems.
Navi Radjou describes an interesting problem solving concept that is the frugal innovation. The Northern hemisphere typically solves problems following the principle of doing more using plenty, while the Southern hemisphere solves the problems following the principle of doing plenty using less under duress. It is a lecture laced with example and advice and may bring a new approach into our problem-solving practice.
2. Ask yourself: what's the worst thing that can happen? This is another one to do early on. You can easily to use your mind to enlarge problems all out of proportion. By asking this question, you can restore the problem to its original size. Also, realize that the worst-case scenario – if you actually define it – is perhaps not so pleasant but something you can handle it and solve it.
4. Try to figure out possible problems along the way. This is something you can do before the problem even arises. Be prepared. When you research – as described in point # 3 – also try to find out what others in the same situation ran into, what challenges they faced. Ask people what they did. If you don't have anyone to ask then books, forums and blogs are good resources for gathering the personal experience of people. Also, be on the lookout for local groups and organizations. Google it and see what you find. If you keep your eyes and ears open, you are sure to find something helpful.
5. Ask for help. You can ask people for advice on what to do and what they did in similar situations like yours. But you can also ask for more practical help. You don´t have to solve every problem on your own and sometimes it feels better to have someone by your side, even if it is just for emotional support.
6. Let go of the need to be right. Open your mind to a solution that may work and try it out instead of just making snap judgments based on little information and experience. The need to be right can make you disregard solutions that are just what you need for far too long.
7. Come up with more than one solution. You don´t know what will actually work before you try it. What may seem like a good solution in theory doesn´t always work in reality. So brainstorm and come up with more than one solution. If the first one does not work, try the next one.
8. Redefine failure. This is important both to handle fear of failure for the whole problem and to get you started in trying different solutions without too much hesitation. The definition of failure we are brought up with in society might not be the best and most useful to have. If you look at the most successful people you quickly notice that they have a different response to failure than the more common one. They don´t take failure or rejection too seriously. They know it´s not the end of the world if they fail. Instead they look at each failure and see the bright side of them: what they can learn from it and improve next time. They have an abundance-mentality. They know that if their first business-venture fails they are disappointed for a while but on the long run it is not a problem. They learn from it and then they try again. Redefine failure as feedback and as a natural part of a successful life.
10. Use the 80/20 rule. Use 80 percent of your time to find solutions and only 20 percent to complain, worry and moan. It might not always be easy but focusing your energy, time and thoughts in this way is much more beneficial to you and others than doing the opposite.
11. Use Parkinson's Law. This law says that a task will expand in time and apparent complexity depending on the time you set aside for it. For instance, if you say to yourself that you´ll come up with a solution within a week then the problem will seem to grow more difficult and you´ll spend more and more time trying to come up with a solution. Combine this law with the 80/20 rule to find solutions quickly. Focus your time on finding solutions. Then just give yourself an hour (instead of the whole day) or the day (instead of the whole week) to solve the problem. This will force your mind to focus on solutions and action.
12. Find the lesson or opportunity within the problem. There is almost always a good side of a problem. Perhaps it alerts us to a great way to improve our business. Or it teaches us how our lives perhaps are not as bad as we thought. Finding this more positive part of the problem reduces its negative emotional impact and you may even start to see the situation as a great opportunity for you. When you are faced with a problem ask yourself: How can I use this? What is the good thing about this? What can I learn from this? What hidden opportunity can I find within this problem?
13. Actually talk about the problem and communicate clearly. Many problems arise because someone misinterpreted what someone else said. One way to make sure that you and everyone else have the same interpretation of for instance a project is to have people repeat back their view of the project and their part in it. See if your and their view matches. If a conflict arises then maybe you need to just talk it out, let go of a bit of steam, emotion and tension instead of everyone bottling it up. After that the discussion may be less emotionally charged. And it becomes easier to communicate clearly and reach a good solution for everyone involved.
14. Create fewer problems. A lot of our problems are created by ourselves. You save yourself a lot of trouble by being proactive, thinking before you speak and trying to avoid creating or complicating problems more than necessary. One way to decrease problems is to follow – as much as you can – Dale Carnegie´s wise words: "Never criticize, complain or condemn". Many problems are somehow connected to relationships with other people so a good way to create less problems is to improve your social skills. Check out Do You Make These 10 Mistakes in a Conversation? and 5 Mistakes That Can Make You Look Dumb for some tips in that area. And go to your local library and borrow a copy of How to Win Friends and Influence People.
15. Use the power of words to your advantage. Our minds respond more than one may think to what words that are used to describe something. A problem is a negatively charged word. To make the problem easier to handle, use the more neutral or positive word challenge instead. This may sound like some empty and in reality just useless advice. But, personally, I have found that making this small change has some impact on how negatively/positively I look at a situation.
16. Keep your motivation up. It´s easy to be discouraged, especially if you fear failure and your first and second solution to a problem did not work. You might feel like just giving up. Then it´s time to give yourself a boost of motivation. Try a few of the techniques described in 25 Simple Ways to Motivate Yourself and 5 More Ways to Motivate Yourself. Changing your mental state to a brighter, more positive and more motivated one can make all the difference in the world. It will keep you going. Even if just a few minutes earlier you felt that all hope was gone.
The solution of a problem always starts by the proper identification of the problem. It is more efficient to do the right thing slowly (badly), than to do the wrong thing quickly (well). Recognition/identification is followed by analysis, based on which an option tree may be created, which contains all the possible options. Then, we only have to choose the best one using some kind of decision-making mechanism or model.
Finally, it is important to appreciate the success of the solution we chose and take notes of whatever we learned from this problem-solving method and about its future uses as well.
Use the 7 steps of problem solving in the solution of one of your personal problems, then in one of your business/organizational problems as well!
Pay attention on the steps or stages, which you are best at, and to the ones you are not so good at. Your strengths and weaknesses should be the basis of your problem solving development process!

Going home for Christmas is the latest step in Aaron Hurst's incredible recovery
Aaron Hurst got a big surprise when his St. Helena teammates and coaches came to the Touro Rehabilitation Center in New Orleans for a visit early last week.
Hurst was showered with gifts and awards. A lot of friendly faces and smiles were nice, too. Incredibly, the best was yet to come.
Just two days after the visit, Hurst learned that his biggest wish — to be home for Christmas — would come true. By the end of the year, the running back/linebacker is scheduled to back home in the Greensburg area while doing outpatient therapy in Baton Rouge, approximately a month after fracturing a vertebrae in his neck.


few weeks – like many of our other clients.
To now set new optimal prices for your focus-products, which will harness both turnover and profit potentials, we must first define individual pricing rules for these groups. These pricing rules indicate how and under which parameters your prices are calculated.
You can of course – probably like many of your competitors – strive for all of your prices reaching Position 1 by price comparison. Using pricing software like blackbee, this is achieved with just one click. Using this undifferentiated pricing strategy, however, you will be harnessing only turnover potential, albeit at the expense of valuable margin.
The secret to effective pricing rules lies in optimising some segments of your focus-products for sales and other segments for profit. Helpful towards this selection process is an analysis of product importance.
Price your most important products both often and aggressively. Harness your profits among just a few of these important items.
Firstly, you should define the market to be monitored. This means: From which websites do you establish the prices? With which competitors are you comparing yourself? Examples include price comparison sites, marketplaces and the online shops of your direct competitors. Bear in mind here that when monitoring price comparison sites and marketplaces, new (temporary) competitors can also appear. We have observed that multiple competitors emerge for several days, or even weeks, selling a few products from the grey market at cut-rate prices, before subsequently disappearing again. To ensure that your prices are not needlessly lowered as a result, establish in advance that you will compare yourself only with your comparable competition.
Solutions such as blackbee enable you, for example, to limit this screening to competitors having attractive and sufficient customer ratings for available products.
Your top products should be optimised aggressively towards sales. Among these products, your customer either knows already or has a feel for the market price. We recommend that you aim for the lowest market price among these items. Pricing rule: Undercut Position 1 by just one cent.
For those products occupying the "mid-category" segment, a less aggressive sales optimisation is recommended. Strive, for this reason, to being second cheapest on the market. Pricing Rule: Undercut Position 2 by just one cent.
Your products occupying the "sleeper" segment have a high market importance, but are currently of lesser significance to your company. To raise up these "hidden potentials" for your company, there is also the possibility of optimising these products for sales and selecting the same price as the cheapest on the market. Pricing Rule: Same price as Position 1.
Potential articles are seemingly less significant to the market. There are few or little aggressive competitors here and the customers, as a general rule, do not know the market price. For these products, you can balance the possible margin losses in the other segments with a price-setting optimised for profit, by orientating yourself on third position by price comparison. Pricing Rule: Same price as Position 3.
Using these individual pricing rules, one of our clients with annual turnover in the two-digit millions generated 39% more sales and 33.7% more turnover among their focus-products. The price increase amongst the potential articles lead to the average margin being ensured despite employing an aggressive pricing.
