6 tips for landing the large account
By Sean Norris
There are no hard, fast rules for landing large accounts—every company is different, and what works for one may fail spectacularly for another. Still, it helps to know the basics. Diane Morsch, director of sales and marketing for Bristol ID Technologies, Lima, N.Y., provided a step-by-step plan to get you started:
1. Identify the account you want to go after.
2. Research the account. Find out how they do business. Do they have a preferred buyer's list and do you need to be on it? What is their buying cycle for your product? Who is the decision maker? Who influences the buying decision?
3. Connect through social media. Most often LinkedIn has been a great avenue for first introductions.
4. Provide them an offer they can't refuse. Whether it's no setup charges, no freight charges, 24-hour turnaround or otherwise, do something wild and crazy to get their attention.
5. Over-deliver. Period.
Sales is all about thinking big. Bigger clients lead to bigger profits which lead to bigger vacations, or so the logic goes, and a lot of the time that's true.
But rarely is it that easy. Big accounts are difficult to land, and even then, aren't necessarily a sure bet for big sales. In an economy where most businesses already operate on slim margins, that can spell trouble—time spent courting a large prospect that never pans out is money and resources lost. Or, as Gregg Emmer, chief marketing officer and vice president for Batavia, Ohio-based Kaeser & Blair Inc., put it: "Bigger isn't always better, unless you are talking about profit."
Still thinking big? We don't blame you. But don't go it alone—read on for six tips from Emmer and Diane Morsch, director of sales and marketing for Bristol ID Technologies, Lima, N.Y., for landing large accounts.
1. Avoid Long-Distance Relationships
Say you're located in California and a large, Florida-based prospect wants to meet within 24 hours. Do you have the resources to make that happen? If not, consider staying local. "Logistics play a significant part in success when going after mega-corporations," Emmer explained. "If you are not located conveniently to the headquarters' decision maker, you generally are out of luck. The largest of your competitors (international printing companies or top-20 promotional distributors) have budgets and other resources that allow them to go after business in far away places, something an independent or small business operator generally can't do."
Emmer advised creating a list of local companies and identifying the ones that offer the most direct access. "Work on the top two or three at a time," he suggested. "Once a prospect becomes a customer, continue to move down the list."
2. Don't Sell on Price
Large companies have more leverage than smaller ones in regard to who they buy from, and if your only asset is low prices, you'll lose out to the lowest bidder—or be forced to become the lowest bidder yourself. "Selling on price guarantees that you will have to sell every project every time," said Emmer. "And it guarantees that your margins will continuously decline as the slow-motion reverse-bidding auction drags on."
Instead of price, focus on solving problems. Emmer recommended researching a prospect's needs, whether it's sales, customer loyalty, employee retention or something else, and finding a way to meet those needs. "[If] you position yourself as an asset to your client that works to bring about the specific outcome the client wants, they will continue to work with you long-term," he noted.
3. Clear Your Schedule (and your wallet)
Morsch cited time and cost as the two biggest challenges in working with large accounts. "The sales cycle can be four to five times longer for large accounts compared to small- or medium-sized ones," she said. "Also, many larger accounts require compensation of some kind to do business with them—for example, rebates or discounts. This has to be factored into the overall cost of the sale."
Ultimately, that can make large accounts less lucrative than they appear. The time required to land one large client might be spent on several smaller ones, resulting in greater total sales. "A single $25,000 order from a large account will likely have less total profit than five $5,000 orders from five smaller accounts," Emmer explained. "And the total time necessary to write the five orders might be less than the single big order. This can be further complicated if you realize that while salespeople are investing their time to hopefully get the big order, other business they could more easily get is being ignored."
4. Diversify
There's no guarantee a large prospect will become a buyer, even if you put in the requisite time and effort. For that reason, it's best not to stake your entire business on large accounts. Target them where opportunities arise, but make sure they're not your only source of revenue. "Large accounts can be very rewarding, but it is wise to have a variety of account types in your portfolio," Morsch advised.
"A good rule of thumb is to look at each account and analyze how your business would be impacted if you were to lose that account—not only from an immediate financial standpoint, but also long-term," she continued. "How long would it take to replace that revenue and what would the cost of that be? This could move you to work on mixing up your current blend."
5. Don't Settle for Approved Vendor Status
In theory, approved vendor lists are a good way to gain trust with large clients and ensure repeat sales. But there are downsides. For one, getting on the list may require giving deep discounts to the client, which means reduced profit margins for your business. For another, the lists only establish your business as an option—not the option. View approved vendor lists as a starting point, not the end goal.
"Vendor and bid lists forever put you at the back of the line, after all creative and development is done," said Emmer. "It relegates you to working only with purchasing agents and never allows you to become an asset or expert the actual buyer wants to work with. Get the buyer to work with you and they will get you on whatever list is necessary to get you the purchase order."
6. Be Sure You Can Deliver
Over-delivering is okay, encouraged even. Over-promising? Not so much. Research prospects thoroughly to be sure you're able to provide what they need, and enlist help if necessary. "Large orders take a lot of knowledge about production schedules, delivery specifications, financing, penalties, compliance issues and more," Emmer commented. "A distributor or salesperson without the knowledge to manage a large order should partner with someone who does."

Summary: Ianto's lost an important piece of kitchen equipment. Where could it have got to?
Jack was lounging in the lounge while Ianto was busy fixing a celebratory 'You Haven't Died For A Whole Month' dinner, an odd event to celebrate, perhaps, but an important one in their world. Initially, Jack had been attempting to help him with the meal, but Ianto's kitchen was a bit too small for both of them to be working in there at the same time and he'd been getting underfoot, so Ianto had kicked him out in the nicest way possible, suggesting he go and choose a DVD to watch while they ate. After all, why should he have to help prepare his own reward?
Dinner was coming along splendidly; the main course was almost ready, the strawberry tart for dessert looked mouth-wateringly delicious, and all Ianto had left to do was whip up the cream, because Jack loved a dollop of whipped cream on anything fruity, up to and including Ianto.
That was when Ianto hit a bit of a snag.
He dug about in the cutlery drawer, removing the various utensils one by one until it was almost empty, but to no avail; unless it was hiding under the one lone teaspoon remaining at the bottom of the drawer, which seemed unlikely, his hand whisk was missing. Feeling a bit stupid, he checked under the teaspoon anyway, just in case the whisk had shrunk for some unknown reason. Working for Torchwood, you soon learned not to dismiss any potential explanation for strange happenings, no matter how ludicrous it might seem. No whisk, which meant it probably hadn't been shrunk, which he supposed was a good thing even though it didn't help much, what with the whisk still being unaccountably missing.
Returning the cutlery to the drawer, Ianto made a quick check of all the other drawers and cupboards, scanned the work surfaces in case he'd already got the whisk out earlier and then forgotten about it, looked in the dishwasher in case he'd left it in there accidentally after the last time he'd used it… Still no whisk. Damn. Where the hell had it got to? Maybe it had sprouted little legs and run away from home. Even that wasn't entirely beyond the realms of possibility. Heaving a sigh of frustration, he wandered into the lounge to ask Jack if he'd seen it.
Jack was standing in front of the sofa, busily scratching at an itch down the back of his shirt.
"Hey, Jack, have you see the…" That was as far as Ianto got.
"Really? I never knew that!" Then Ianto's words sank in all the way. "We're having whipped cream?" Jack's eyes lit up and his smile got even wider. No doubt he was hoping there'd be some left over for later in the evening.
"Yep. Right, looks like whisking the cream for dessert will have to wait until after the main course. You get to sterilise the whisk while I check on the roast. It'll be overdone if it's left much longer." Steering Jack into the kitchen, Ianto boiled water in the kettle, poured it into a Pyrex basin, and set Jack to work whisking the whisk clean while he busied himself with dishing up roast lamb and all the trimmings.
Oh, I'm sure Ianto won't let Jack have all the cream fun! Share and share alike!

A History of 1970s Experimental Film: Britain's Decade of Diversity A History of 1970s Experimental Film: Britain's Decade of Diversity
Patti Gaal-Holmes
Marc Karlin: Look Again
Working Together: Notes on British Film Collectives in the 1970s
Reaching Audiences Distribution and Promotion of Alternative Moving Image
This comprehensive historical account demonstrates the rich diversity in 1970s British experimental filmmaking. It acts as a form of reclamation by integrating films having received inadequate historical and critical recognition and placing these alongside films existing as accepted texts of the decade. This history challenges the problematic 'return to image' thesis, providing examples of written evidence and demonstrating how this has problematically perpetuated a flawed account of the decade. This is the first extensive overview of 1970s filmmaking, contextualizing films within broader aesthetic, theoretical and socio-political frameworks. The detailed textual and comparative analyses offer unique approaches to individual films, shedding light on technical, aesthetic and economic decisions informing filmmaking. As such, it provides a unique understanding of how experimental filmmaking grew from a small handful of films and filmmakers, at the start of the 1970s, to a veritable 'explosion' in filmmaking by the end of the decade.
Patti Gaal-Holmes was born in Johannesburg, South Africa to German and Hungarian immigrants. She lived/travelled in various countries before settling in the UK and studying for a BA (Hons) and AHRB-funded MA Painting at Winchester School of Art. In 2006 she took up an AHRC-funded research scholarship in film at the University of Portsmouth as part of the '1970s Cinema' project. She is Reviews Editor for the journal, Transnational Cinemas, and currently resides in Southsea, UK.

KISS @ Cricket Pavilion
When I started this post I realized that it was blog #101. I've cracked 100 posts! But since I didn't notice it while I was posting #100, we aren't celebrating.
KISS, back again... feels like just last December 1st they were here. But, we wanted the best, again... right? Yeah, I'm pretty sure we did. I was up for it, but I can't speak for you. But KISS gave us the best, so stop complaining, this blog just started.
It's not until the heat from multiple 30-foot tall fire balls hit you that you realize we don't actually live on the surface of the sun here in sweaty Phoenix, AZ. While that rank smell and the pit stains on the people to my left, right, and rear would suggest otherwise, after the warmth of the flame left my face, the temperature actually resembled "cool". Thanks KISS, for that at least.
Getting to the front of the stage riding a giant floating platform with smoke shooting out from the underside of it while fire is streaming from all sides of you, is one way to start a show. Sure. But there's always the stand-by 'just walk calmly out and quietly say hello into the mic without looking and be all indie' beginning... but you know, for purposes of good photos, I'd take the platform entrance any day! So thank you KISS once again.
Boredom is not allowed at a KISS concert. Even if you don't know the songs, and God knows I don't... You can still have a pretty ridiculous time. I mean, where else can you see a dude in makeup play his guitar between his legs with his ass up in the air? "Is it Creed? That sounds like a Creed concert. Creed is so awesome." ...No, not even at a Creed show can you see that. How about a dude in 10-inch, bedazzled platform shoes doing a jump in the air after having just been doing a one legged side split at the front of the stage? "ABBA??" No, not ABBA. How about a dude who sings, plays guitar, and crawls on hands an knees to shove his face into your camera? Ok... this is all just Paul Stanley, the Star Child as I refer to him... and then there are 3 other guys in the band still! Well, they don't do as much. Let's be honest here. But still, the show is nuts.
Photo-wise, a guy can't ask for much more. "What about a girl, could she ask for more? Sexist!" When did this blog turn into a discussion? Photo-wise, conditions we're superb. Lighting was ample, the stage was giant, and the players really sell to the camera. Honestly, all I could have asked for would have been a little more room in the pit, and maybe some of those sweet platform shoes... as if I don't tower over all the other photogs already... brew-ha-ha-ha!!
Pyrotechnics, giant video screens, animated characters, and a catalog of hit songs... what more do you need? Nothing! So stop asking! Next time KISS is in town, just buy a cheap ticket and go watch them! It's real life. And whether you like them or not, this band is legendary. You might as well go see them before it's too late.
It's rare that I actually get to meet the band... and it was just as rare this time, since it didn't happen... but I got close... shaw!

Fall Frenzy @ Tempe Town Lake
What a bizarre festival, right from the get-go. I was meant to cover the first two days of this event, which would have started with Shinedown and Stone Temple Pilots, however the whole thing was fubar before I even showed up.
Apparently, there was a 'bomb scare' sometime during the night... which involved an unmanned backpack near the front gate... at an outdoor event, at 100 degrees plus even after the sun went down, and drunk people at every turn... maybe someone just dropped their bag?? No.. it's a bomb. The entire front entrance was evacuated and cordoned off... roads were shut... parking was F'ed up... great start. Luckily, I parked about a mile away, not in the direction of the mayhem. But when I showed up, I wasn't allowed in, I had to wait to be brought my credentials. Which took over an hour. So I missed Shinedown's set. Bummer. (That was sarcasm there.) When I finally got in, I hung out with New Times columnist Benjamin Leatherman. We walked around the venue getting an idea of the scope of the event, and got harassed by drunk people the entire trip. It's odd, if you are just HOLDING a camera, people will ask you to take their photo. I still don't get that.
On with the show! I was told to meet a group of people from the event up near the stage to shoot STP... at 10pm. I get there, I wait, I survey. 10:45 passes, and people are launching water bottles at the stage, one guy finally hitting a crash cymbal on STP's drum kit. The photogs are told that the band is on their way, but have missed all sorts of engagements that day prior to the show. At this point, I'd be surprised if I shoot anything this night.
Eventually, the band walks on stage, and start playing like nothing happened. This time around there is no one in the pit with us ready to catch singer, Scott Wieland, should he fall off the stage. Maybe he was cleaned up for the tonight's gig. Yeah, maybe. Maybe I'm a Chinese fighter pilot. I recognized one song during my 2-song stint of shooting... "Wicked Garden"... the one song I know by STP that I can't stand. After song two, I was glad to be on my way home.
The next day would prove to be a better day. The lineup I was scheduled for was Devo, Primus, Sublime (with Rome... some guy who is not the original singer/guitarist), and Weezer. I was pretty psyched actually. Especially to shoot Primus, and be able to actually stay and watch their set. I got in the gates with minimal drama, and only caught the very end of Devo's set. I walked around and grabbed a few crowd shots, hung out in the New Times VIP lounge tent, and then made my way over to the stage for Primus.
I'm not totally current with Primus, so I didn't really know why there were two giant blow-up astronauts on stage with them, but, hey, does it NEED an explanation? When I saw Les Claypool walk on stage, I got pretty happy. What a strange dude... and what a great musician. I got to actually just chill and watch them play "Those Damn Blue Collared Tweakers" from the pit... that was probably the highlight of the entire festival for me. I ran into Randy Johnson again... he was shooting Primus from the pit with me. Neat.
Sublime "with Rome"... I don't know. I could go down a very harsh road if I say too much about this act. But let's just say, they showed up and played. I was pretty shocked by what I saw... and I'm not even a Sublime fan. I don't think many REAL Sublime fans could get behind this. Maybe I'm wrong. But how often does that happen?
The night finally started to wind down for me and Weezer was up next. I was moderately excited to shoot them. I like them... I'm not the biggest fan... but I have a two albums on my iPhone and a bunch of one-off tracks. Rivers came out looking, once again, like Buddy Holly... which, I guess you could attack him for... but that's his look. I'm glad he's back to it. It's what the fans like to see. It's that nerdy look they can relate to.
Weezer's set was unfortunately plagued with technical difficulties right from the start. During the first song, "Hash Pipe" (if I recall correctly), Rivers couldn't hear himself in the monitors... really only evident to the keen listener during the falsetto parts. He was hand-motioning to the sound guy off stage to turn certain things up, and other things down in his monitor so he could hear. Apparently tho, the guy wasn't on the same wavelength. After the song finished, Rivers explained to the crowd that they have a new sound guy and they are still working out the kinks. He went through exactly what he needed done before he started the second song. But during that song, things were still messed up, and Rivers started knocking mics over until he got it right. Bassist Scott Shriner at one point looked even more upset than Rivers when his bass went out. He just stopped playing, and they brought him another bass... which seemed to have a similar problem. He just sort of frowned the entire second song. But he and Rivers both came out of it pretty quickly, and they were on to rocking.
I didn't stay and watch the entire set... I'd had a pretty crazy weekend already at that point... but I'm sure it would have been the highlight to most people's weekend. This entire blog post, I just realized, is pretty normal. I must apologize... I promise something more interesting next time. At least you got to see some photos right?

Paramore (w/ Tegan and Sara) @ Dodge Theatre
Tonight was Paramore with Tegan and Sara opening for the "Honda-Civic-Go-Buy-A-Fucking-Honda-Already-Damn-It!-They-Are-Green-And-Paramore-Drives-Them-What-Are-You-Waiting-For?-You-Can-Buy-One-In-The-Lobby... Tour". Yes, nothing I love more these days than going to a concert and watching car commercials for little, ugly, shit cars that run solely on clean burning Mormon sweat and say a prayer for the car behind it as it's exhaust. No 12 year old girl at this show can afford a Honda... or cares about being green. I'm even slightly older than 12 and I don't even care. I didn't take pictures of all the ads and Honda projections on the walls, cause I thought I'd be replicating their ad campaign. Somewhere... there is a guy wearing prescription-free Oliver Peoples glasses who just said "You might hate the ads, but you just talked about Honda! BOOM! The system works!"
Moving on to the music. Let me just say from the start, sometimes I amaze even myself with how limited my musical scope is. I'd like to think I was pretty diversified, but in reality I just have 16 gigs of Radiohead and Neil Finn on my iPhone. Granted, I do KNOW who both of these bands are. And I know a song or two from each. Both facts I can blame on my friend Thomas. That's all beside the point... the music... the music... yeah. I could tell that these bands know how to play their songs. They were using professional equipment. There was no one whispering in their ears which chord came next. No fake books. It was all in their heads. These bands have really practiced hard. I say well done. And any critic who attacks them, well... they probably don't know what they're talking about.
One strange fact I feel I should point out is how some people photograph so different than they actually look. I photographed Stevie Nicks a while back, and in person I couldn't even recognize her, but in the photos "Oh, that's Stevie Nicks there." It's kind of the opposite for Paramore singer Hayley Williams... when I photographed her before, and tonight as well, I get these shots that 'resemble' her, but they never seem a perfectly accurate representation. Maybe that's just me.
In a weird way, I think I'm less familiar with Paramore, the headliner, than Tegan and Sara. I don't really know what's actually 'weird' about that, but I feel like I've had more chance encounters with T&S over the years. In fact, a few years back, in a fantasy world, I almost had a cartoon show called The Zoo make it on the TV box... Tegan was going to voice one of the main characters on the show. But no, I never actually met her. Still, at that point, I did some research on them. That's just being responsible tho.
Actually, the one song I really knew from the whole night started as I was being escorted out after shooting T&S's set... "Walking with a ghost". Oddly, that was the only thing that sounded a bit off. Maybe it was me... but it sounded just a bit discordant. Like someone was off in the land of their own time signature. But, it still rocked, and the crowd loved it.
Being a photographer is always an interesting experience. Sitting in the hallway before Paramore went on, there was a huge line of fans waiting to meet one of the opening bands who was signing autographs. And amidst the young girl normalcy of the line comes this gangly drunk guy asking for random people to sign his autograph book. "This book has a lot of power" he'd tell the young girls. He even asked a fellow photographer to sign it. And I think he also asked him to write in a powerful message. Talk about pressure. You don't want to let a drunk weirdo at a concert down. I turned away and got my phone out when he was near me. Not because I didn't want to sign, God knows I've just been waiting to sign something with my new signature, but because the only advice I could think of was "Whatever you do, don't let someone throw up in your mouth. Buy Japanese."

Hanson @ Mesa Center For The Arts
This is a true story, but probably not that funny of a story. Generally, every 2 weeks or a so, I make a list of concerts I'd like to photograph. Usually based mostly on the possible merits of the show itself... performer wise and production wise... and other shows get peppered in as the New Times see fit. I actually asked to photograph the Jonas Brothers this night, and the NT editor replied to me and said I was in for Hanson. Not trying to be rude, but I thought he was being sarcastic. Three of them, three of Hanson... but no. He meant actual Hanson. But in my defense, I have been pretty lazy about looking up shows lately, and I did not even see that Hanson were in town. Now that we got that out of the way, finally... on to the review. Err. On to the "I talk about stuff relating to the show and/or photography... and anything else that pops up." Don't you love grapes?
Honesty up front here... I was pretty indifferent about shooting Hanson. Initially at least, I'd rather have shot the Jonas Brothers, just because it was at a bigger venue, and will have had more stage production... meaning more interesting photos. But, I try not to complain too much. Always complain UP the chain... not... off the chain? OUT from the chain? Anyways... yeah... I can at least dig Hanson. I actually KNOW a song of theirs. Plus, Taylor Hanson plays with James Iha in the super group Tinted Windows... I think that adds a few cool notches.
As expected, the modest sized crowed went absolutely nuts when Hanson took the stage, and the boys gave them just want they wanted. A high energy, poppy rock show. Lots of jumping and singing along, and the odd harmonica why not? I got to the show a little early, just soon enough to see the opening band finish their set. The whole aesthetic of the room was a bit odd. It was filled with a fair share of youngish, elementary/middle school type girls. But also a moderate helping of high school girls... the crowd that 'grew up' listening to Hanson, and are still following the band. There were even some boy people in attendance... but if I'm honest, I felt more macho and mannish mixed in that crowd than any other concert setting. Wink wink, nudge nudge. It didn't help that security guards were all pensioners either. The band that played was like a Hanson-in-training sort of act. Every song had a clever lyric about a girl and a big smile at the end. "No, we love YOU guys!" I felt a bit like I was in an underground Disney bunker testing ground for young girls and new pop acts. I could imagine a room of sweaty, fat execs behind a panel of TV screens scribbling down notes as to what action on stage got an emotional response from the girlfolk in the crowd... and if that boy with the red highlights has a good time too, mark that down Phil.
So... Hanson. Yes. That's why we're all here. What can I say that I haven't already covered? You know what? I was surprised at all the gear Isaac Hanson, eldest, guitarist, had on stage. I mean, that was an impressive pedal board man! And if you know anything about me, that's saying something. Cause when I say something, generally I've said it, myself. Hanson. Pedal board... hmm... I think we're all lucky I don't get paid for this part. Here's a picture!
No, I had a good time. The venue was neat... I didn't really get to look around, but the architecture and the layout (same thing?) was pretty groovy. It's not the most impressive gig size-wise if you're a touring band... but I bet it was a neat visual to drive up to in the tour van. It's not an old shit hole off the side of the 202 freeway, that used to be a Country music hall, now with no A/C, awful lights, and terrible sound. That's for sure.
I think the Hanson boys are doing alright. I don't see a big resurgence in their future, but I think they've got a pretty steady following, and they seem to be able to branch out. Heads on their shoulders and what not. Speaking of heads on shoulders, while I was waiting for Hanson to go on (head firmly attached to my neck)... a peculiar head and shoulder combination parked near me at the back of the venue. It was only TV's Frankie Muniz! He's actually now the drummer in a cracking band here in Phoenix called You Hang Up. I found out later that the paper I freelance for has been slagging him off pretty regularly. I didn't know that at the time... and after the show I ran into him again, so I asked for a photo. Initially, his posse cleared out like I asked if I could perform his yearly rectal exam... and he traded a look of similar unease with his girlfriend. I offered to not take the photo to avoid ruining the evening, but eventually his band came around and they got together for a photo. Had I known the back story, I would have tried to explain that I'm not an egomaniac who publicly attacks people who are trying to further their creative career, just because it doesn't gel with me, man. I say good on ya Frankie. I don't know if were on a first name basis yet, but I did introduce myself with my first name. So... Mr Muniz it is. Anyways, thanks for the pic. If you're out there.

Maybe It's Not That Complicated – Deadspin | Binjai News

Maybe It's Not That Complicated – Deadspin
Over the last few days, many people in the NBA and wider sports media world have settled on a basic talking point when discussing the ongoing international incident that Rockets GM Daryl Morey kicked off when he tweeted a message of support for pro-democracy protestors in Hong Kong: It's complicated. But is it all that complicated?
The various social and historical factors motivating both the Hong Kong protestors and the Chinese government's violent response to them are certainly complicated, but there's not much haze covering the points at which the NBA intersects this story. Is the question of whether one should feel sympathy for demonstrators who are being teargassed and beaten in the streets a complicated one? What about the question of whether an authoritarian government should attempt to censor and financially harm an American sports league over a single tweet?
Despite the easy answers to those questions, a fog of uncertainty and hesitation has been thrown over so many discussions of the NBA's relationship with China. It seems to me that everyone took their cues from Nets owner Joe Tsai, who in a lengthy Facebook post insisted that in order to understand the damage Morey's tweet did to a nation of 1.4 billion people, you have to understand the history of the Opium Wars, the Qing dynasty, and the Massacre of Nanjing. He wrote:
The one thing that is terribly misunderstood, and often ignored, by the western press and those critical of China is that 1.4 billion Chinese citizens stand united when it comes to the territorial integrity of China and the country's sovereignty over her homeland. This issue is non-negotiable.
The sleight of hand here—which, as Slate's Tom Scocca pointed out, is one routinely deployed in propaganda campaigns—should be obvious. Tsai is attributing the anger that the Chinese government and a few powerful corporations felt at the NBA to the Chinese population at large. This makes the backlash against Morey and the league not only seem more organic, but far more valid. If the GM of the Rockets really did piss off an entire country, who are any of us to say anything about it?
Plenty were eager to follow Tsai's lead. Sports writers rushed to Twitter and television to let everyone know that the wisest course of action is to just steer clear of this complicated issue. The Athletic's Joe Vardon wrote an explainer on the crisis that took Tsai's comments at face value, and quoted someone from a think tank established to advocate for the Chinese government's claims to the South China Sea. Steve Kerr said he needed to talk to his brother, a professor of Chinese history, before he could comment on the situation.
Perhaps nobody was more snowed in than The Ringer's Bill Simmons, who on a podcast with the Wall Street Journal's Jason Gay worried that angry protestors might beset Thursday's preseason game between the Lakers and Nets in Shanghai. "Here's what is in play, potentially: protestors. And protestors, in a foreign country, that has occasionally proven that it can be pretty dangerous, where you would have protestors outside the hotels, and you would have protestors outside the stadiums. And there is no guarantee that at some point that might not become a little bit unsafe," he said. (He also brought up the fact that Steve Kerr's father was murdered by an Islamic Jihadist as a good reason for Kerr not to comment on the NBA-China situation, the implication being, I suppose, that Kerr could have put himself in danger of being killed by a Chinese nationalist?)
The Lakers and Nets did end up playing on Thursday, and aside from a total lack of sponsorship logos and a government-mandated lack of press availability, a normal basketball game unfolded. Here's how ESPN described the scene:
Many of the capacity crowd of 18,000 entered the arena toting hand-held Chinese flags that were being distributed outside. Before the starting lineups were announced, there was no singing of the national anthem — not the American "Star-Spangled Banner" nor the Chinese "March of the Volunteers."
But it wasn't completely foreign.
Whatever unrest existed in the days leading up to the game was not reflected by the crowd during pregame warm-ups, as cheers erupted in the stands with every LeBron James dunk. And there were plenty of them, as the Lakers forward was clearly putting on a show.
James continued to elicit adulation once play started, receiving boisterous approval after scoring the first bucket of the game on a layup and later hearing "MVP!" chants when shooting free throws during the first quarter.
The vibe inside the arena seems to have been no different from any other NBA game:
If it's hard to square the image of two NBA teams walking into a Shanghai arena unmolested and playing a game in front of thousands of cheering fans with the supposed nationwide antagonism currently being directed at the NBA, maybe that's because this story all far less complicated than Tsai and so many others have been insisting it is.
Morey certainly pissed off a good number of Chinese citizens with his tweet, but every year the NBA plays games in cities full of people who its players and coaches and executives have pissed off, and fans still come out to cheer. The only reason this particular instance rose to the level of an international crisis is because Morey crossed an authoritarian regime that decided to respond by throwing an extended tantrum, and they were assisted by American media members all too eager to muddy up the particulars of the story while striking a pose of removed sophistication. It's okay to ignore all of that, and just discuss this story on the terms which actually apply. You don't even need a degree in Chinese history to do so.

In last week's post I talked about how you can check your pricing to make sure that every sale you make generates enough cash. It's a vital exercise to make sure that you build a sustainable business.
That said, a question I get asked a lot is how you decide on the price you charge in the first place, so I thought I'd make that the subject of today's post.
I could probably write a whole book on this, having spent hundreds of hours talking about pricing during my career! Working out the price is part art and part science but there are a few basics principles that are important to apply.
It's not about price, it's about value.
There is a school of thought that says that the price you charge should be your costs times a certain factor in order to get your price. That's a useful rule of thumb but taking that approach does take into consideration one important fact.
The price that you charge your customer isn't the price you need or want to charge. It's about what the customer is prepared to pay. And the customer is prepared to pay what they believe is a reasonable value for your item.
Value is the combination of quality, style and price.
The value that the customer sees in a product is created by 3 elements - the price, the style and the quality.
Let's look at these elements individually.
Quality - if you deserve to charge more, explain why.
If you can demonstrate that a product is higher quality than competing products, the customer will pay more for it, so you don't have to be afraid of charging more if your product is really worth it.
Explaining why it's better is important. Hopefully that is obvious but especially when you're selling online, it can be hard to explain what's so good about your product. If it's handmade by artisans in Italy, you need to explain that. If it is made of superior quality fabrics, that's a great feature to highlight as well.
For handmade products, tell them about the inspiration that you had when you were making it or show pictures of behind the scenes. This will help reinforce the idea that your goods are worth more.
It's all about the customer's perspective when it comes to quality. For example you may know that the certain stitch that you used on a garment is twice as much money as another stitch because it's a slower technique and it takes more hours. If your customer is totally oblivious to the difference between one stitch and another, you can explain in detail why it's superior, or not charge a premium.
Even if goods are not premium, they have to have a basic level of quality that is acceptable to the customer. Poor quality goods are a very quick way to lose business, no matter what your price. Even Primark, who use low quality fabrics and cheap production techniques have basic quality standards.
Style - know your customer and make it irresistible.
Style is the most subjective of all of the elements that make up value. We each have our own style, and a vase that will have your aunt pulling out her wallet with excitement will leave you cold. And yet, it's the most powerful element of a product.
We've all had that moment where we've walked into a shop and seen something that we don't need but that we MUST have. We've either splurged then and there, or we've gone home, fretted about it and ended up buying it or making someone give it to us for our birthday.
If you can create product that produces that feeling in your ideal customer, you immediately create what is known as "price elasticity", or the ability to stretch your prices higher. The more you know about your customer, and the more you can put yourself in their shoes, the more likely you are to create a product that is irresistible to them.
Luxury goods. Quality is excellent, Style is appealing. Price can be premium.
Commodity. Quality is acceptable, Style is basic. Price has to be ultra-competitive.
Fast fashion. Quality is acceptable, Style is appealing. Price still needs to be competitive, but is higher than commodity.
If you are struggling to get the price that you know your product deserves, ask yourself if you are doing enough to communicate your quality, and if your style is appealing enough to your customers.
You have to understand how your customer thinks about value.
Perception of value varies from person to person. One customer will see a notebook that they love, and think that £10 is a bargain. Another customer will dislike how it looks, so for them, that price tag is unacceptable.
There are a few ways to work out what your customer thinks about value. Most simply, you can ask them - either face to face, or by running surveys. Asking them what they have paid in the past is a better indicator than asking them what they would have paid in the future. So a survey of their most recent purchases in your category and what made them buy is more use than asking them "Would you pay X for Y?".
Another way to understand how your customer sees value is to check out the competition. If they are selling the majority of their products at one price point, you can bet that it is working well for them.
Every retailer will spend the same number of days a year going out and looking at what the competitors are doing and reviewing their websites. It's an important process in the industry and can be a very valuable way of understanding how you measure up.
But don't follow a formula.
Understanding your competitors is basic good business sense. However you don't have to follow a formula. You can have your own pricing and it can even be a point of differentiation between you and your competition. Again it comes back to value. Do you believe you have a superior product at a great price? That's a great point to highlight to your customers.
Watch out for psychological barriers.
There are reasons that many websites group products into certain price categories - "Stocking fillers under £5", or "Gifts Under £50". Psychological barriers are prices like £5, £10, £50, £100. It's useful to understand what these are for your market. If you see a lot of £49 price points for a top, you know that they've found £50 to be the cut off at which the customer will not pay any more. If you change your prices and sales drop off, check if you're crossed any psychological barriers with your new pricing structure.
In the end, only your customer can tell you what the right price is.
Ultimately only your customer can tell you exactly how much they are willing to pay for your items. A great starting point is a pricing structure that generates enough profit, looks sensible against your competition, is consistent across your products and reflects what you truly believe your customer will pay.
After that, it's about checking that every part of the customer journey conveys the value in your product - from the product descriptions, to highlighting the making process, to how you package the goods for sale.
Continuing to monitor your sales is the best way to keep improving your price structure. You can tweak where prices don't seem to be working, or increase prices where sales seem too fast. It's a good idea to give products at least 4-6 weeks at their original prices to see how you get on.
Ultimately, pricing theory is just that - a theory. The only way to know what works is to try it and see.

A Chief Executive Officer of public schools, or a CEO of schools is an educational professional who is responsible for the administration of a public school district. Similarly to a receiver, CEOs replace traditional superintendents in managing the daily operations of struggling school districts in an attempt to improve failing schools. With the introduction of private market ideas into the school system, CEOs are generally given unilateral power to enact necessary reforms. This concept was first introduced by the Chicago Public School System in 1995.

Function and purpose
The functions of the CEO vary from school district to school district. Whereas the CEO mostly replaces both the roles of the school board and superintendent, other school districts place the CEO below the superintendent and grant power over the day-to-day operations. In Chicago, the CEO has the power to appoint the school board. However, in other school districts with elected school boards, the CEO is often appointed in spite of the board. Using a CEO in a public school system mirrors the typical structure of a charter school which, perhaps, serves as the inspiration for using a CEO of a public school.

Comparison to superintendents
A CEO is different from a superintendent in that the CEO of schools has total control over every decision made by a school district; the CEO decides what rights, if any, are delegated to the board of education. A CEO of Schools often needs no background in education. The goal of implementing a CEO of schools is to remove power from School Boards of ineffective school districts and replace with an individual to bring private market business ideas to the education system. It is a way to address the inequality of public schools and attempt to raise failing schools to a functional level.

Historical development
The first school district in the nation to appoint a CEO was the Chicago Public School district, who appointed Paul Vallas as CEO in 1995. Baltimore implemented reforms to its school system in 1997 which led to the appointment of a CEO. Cleveland soon followed suit by appointing Barbara Byrd-Bennett as CEO under Mayoral Control in 1998.

Controversy
The appointment of CEO has proven controversial in some instances. The attempt to appoint a CEO of the Youngstown, Ohio school system has been met with a lawsuit. The lawsuit was unsuccessful. Proponents argue that, by removing local control and placing it in the hands of a CEO, it creates a more efficient system which can turn around the school system. Opponents argue that it strips local control and accountability from the management of the school systems.

Another controversy has centered around Barbara Byrd-Bennett, the former CEO of Chicago Public Schools and later Cleveland Metropolitan School District. Byrd-Bennett was the subject of a 23-count federal indictment accusing her of executing a scheme to give a $20-million no-bid contract in return for a kick-back. She entered a guilty plea on October 13, 2015.

Examples of CEOs of schools
 The Baltimore City Public School System installed Dr. Gregory E. Thornton as CEO for the 2014-2015 school year. Of note, Dr. Thornton has taken an approach which has restored funding for the arts and reduced school suspensions.
 The CEO of the Chicago Public Schools is Pedro Martinez. The system implemented by Paul Vallas utilized quantitative metrics by which both students and schools were evaluated; under-performing students were held back and under-performing schools were placed on probation. This resulted in the closure of 82 under-performing schools, replaced by 116 new schools.
 The Cleveland Metropolitan School District installed Eric Gordon as CEO in 2011. Mr. Gordon has implemented a "Humanware" Initiative which seeks to improve "student safety, support, and social and emotional development." Cleveland had the lowest graduation rate of urban school districts in the country as of 2006.
 The CEO of Minneapolis Public Schools, Michael Goar, served below the Superintendent before being promoted to superintendent. As a sign of the struggles of the school district, African American male students only had a literacy rate of 20%.
 School District of Philadelphia appointed a CEO in the year 2000.
 The CEO of Youngstown City School District and Ohio Governor John Kasich signed a bill creating the position of CEO of the Youngstown City School District. The School District sued to overturn the Bill and prevent the appointment of a CEO. The litigation is ongoing and the State of Ohio filed a Motion to Dismiss.

This rock garden suddenly appeared shortly after the main entrance of the Garden was officially opened on July 19, 2012. Like Believers at the Wailing Wall in Jerusalem, followers of Yeshua, Jesus Christ, write out their petitions to God on these rocks and Comment Cards. All requests are prayed over here at the cross weekly by a team of TCKF Prayer Intercessors.
This garden was not planned by any man. It is the creation of the Holy Spirit. God Himself touched the hearts of visitors to this garden. They wanted to praise Him and write out their prayer requests. Jesus Christ said that the stone would cry out if we did not tell people about Him (Luke 19:40).
The stones are tangible expressions of love God's children have for their Creator. Please pray that God answers these prayers according to His riches and glory.

Q: Stop Float DIV at footer Jquery I'm using this code:
 $(window).scroll(function () {
  if (($(document).height() - $(window).scrollTop()) <= 500){
      $("#content-5").css({
          position: 'fixed',
          top: 'auto',
          bottom: '300px'
      });
  } else if ($(window).scrollTop() >= 30) {
      $("#content-5").css({
          position: 'fixed',
          top: '30px',
          bottom: 'auto'
      });
  }else{
      $("#content-5").css({
          position: 'absolute',
          top: '30px',
          bottom: 'auto'
      });
  }
});

And this is demo
http://jsfiddle.net/Ym2Ga/75/
Its work fine, but i don't know how to do, that float div #content-5 stop at footer. Anyone can help?

A: Here is your JSFiddle updated with the solution : http://jsfiddle.net/Ym2Ga/79/
The code :
    $(window).scroll(function () {
      var maxScroll = $(window).height()-$("#footer").height()-$("#content-5").height();
      if ($(window).scrollTop() >= maxScroll){
          $("#content-5").css({
              position: 'absolute',
              top: 'auto',
              bottom: '200px'
          });
      } else if ($(window).scrollTop() >= 30) {
          $("#content-5").css({
              position: 'fixed',
              top: '0px',
              bottom: 'auto'
          });
      }else{
          $("#content-5").css({
              position: 'absolute',
              top: '30px',
              bottom: 'auto'
          });
      }
  });

A: add this to scroll() Event:
  // if the bottom of #content-5 reached the top of the footer
  if($(window).scrollTop() > $("#footer").offset().top - $("#content-5").height()) {
       $("#content-5").css({
          position: 'absolute',
          top: $("#footer").offset().top - $("#content-5").height(), // Place it above the footer
          bottom: 'auto'
      });
  }

demo: http://jsfiddle.net/Ym2Ga/82/

A: you can get top offset of footer :
var footer_top= $("#footer").offset().top;

then u can check scroll if that is more than footer_top you should change your content css , like this :
$("#content-5").css({
              position: 'absolute',
              top: footer_top,//this is important for exact place
              bottom: 'auto'
          });

Mužská čtyřhra Australian Open 2020 probíhala ve druhé polovině ledna 2020. Do deblové soutěže australského tenisového grandslamu konaného v Melbourne Parku nastoupilo šedesát čtyři dvojic. Obhájcem titulu byl nejvýše nasazený pár Francouzů Pierre-Hugues Herbert a Nicolas Mahut, který v úvodním kole podlehl italsko-francouzské dvojici Simone Bolelli a Benoît Paire.

První světový pár složený z kolumbijských světových jedniček Roberta Faraha a Cabala do turnaje nezasáhl poté, co Mezinárodní tenisová federace v lednu 2020 zakázala Farahovi účast na turnajích za pozitivní dopingový test na anabolický steroid boldenon ze 17. října 2019 v Cali. Juan Sebastián Cabal tak vytvořil dvojici se Španělem Jaumem Munarem, s nímž skončil ve druhém kole na raketách dvojčat Boba a Mika Bryanových.

Vítězem se stal jedenáctý nasazený, americko-britský pár Rajeev Ram a Joe Salisbury, který ve finále zdolal australskou dvojici hrající na divokou kartu Max Purcell a Luke Saville po dvousetovém průběhu 6–4 a 6–2. Oba šampioni si do žebříčku ATP připsali 2 000 bodů a získali třetí společnou a první grandslamovou trofej z mužské čtyřhry. Bodový zisk je posunul na nová kariérní maxima, když Ramovi v deblovém žebříčku ATP patřilo 5. místo a Salisburymu 4. příčka.

35letý Ram překonal ziskem titulu až při své 58. účasti v grandslamové čtyřhře rekord otevřené éry nejdéle čekajícího hráče na první trofej, který s 55 účastmi držel Martin Damm. Celkově vybojoval jubilejní dvacátý deblový titul na okruhu ATP Tour a pro Salisburyho  to bylo páté takové turnajové vítězství. Saville vstupoval do grandslamu pouze se dvěma vyhranými zápasy v hlavních soutěžích čtyřhry na túře ATP, Purcell měl pouze jediné vítězství.

Nasazení párů
  Pierre-Hugues Herbert /  Nicolas Mahut (1. kolo)
  Łukasz Kubot /  Marcelo Melo (2. kolo)
  Kevin Krawietz /  Andreas Mies (1. kolo)
  Ivan Dodig /  Filip Polášek (semifinále)
  Wesley Koolhof /  Nikola Mektić (2. kolo)
  Marcel Granollers /  Horacio Zeballos (3. kolo)
  John Peers /  Michael Venus (3. kolo)
  Jean-Julien Rojer /  Horia Tecău (2. kolo)
  Raven Klaasen /  Oliver Marach (2. kolo)
  Mate Pavić /  Bruno Soares (3. kolo)
  Rajeev Ram /  Joe Salisbury (vítězové)
  Jürgen Melzer /  Édouard Roger-Vasselin (2. kolo)
  Bob Bryan /  Mike Bryan (3. kolo)
  Jamie Murray /  Neal Skupski (2. kolo)
  Máximo González /  Fabrice Martin (2. kolo)
  Austin Krajicek /  Franko Škugor (3. kolo)

Home Fire by Kamila Shamsie – Book Review
April 12, 2018 yggdrasille
More book club reading. This one was an interesting experience – the author's intent became obvious to me only after I finished the novel and read the acknowledgements at the back, which recast the whole thing in a very different light. If I remembered my classic Greek literature better, I'd probably have realised sooner that Home Fire is a modern-day retelling of Sophocles' tragedy Antigone. This made me understand the author's story choices better, while also making it easier to pinpoint why, overall, the book didn't quite work for me. There's still a lot to like about it – the prose is simple and lucid, it explores the timely topics like terrorism and anti-Muslim attitudes with insight and intelligence, most characters are well-drawn and their wildly different life choices are easy to understand and empathise with. But in the end, it did feel less than the sum of its parts.
The novel is split between several character viewpoints, and it opens with Isma, a young UK-born Muslim woman with Pakistani roots whose family lives under the dark shadow of their jihadist father, who after a long military activity was imprisoned and died on his way to Guantánamo. Isma, the oldest sister, raised her twin siblings after their mother's death, and as the story begins, she's ready to leave the UK for the United States, to pursue her dream of studying. While in the USA, Isma meets Eamonn, the son of an influential British politician who has left his Muslim faith behind. Isma and Eamonn develop a connection, but her growing romantic feelings remain unrequited as Eamonn is instead drawn instantly to the photograph of Aneeka, Isma's beautiful young sister. It also becomes clear that something has gone very wrong with Parvaiz, Isma's younger brother, who's been affected by their father's legacy the most.
The course of the novel undergoes major shifts throughout; at first it reads as a possible romantic triangle with the complications of societal prejudice and cultural incompatibility. Then it becomes a story of a young man who, in a desperate search for a father figure, becomes trapped in a situation he was not prepared for. Then in the later stages, as the parallels to the classic Greek tragedy really come to the front, the novel deals with the conflict between law and conscience, state and family, and the legal sense of right versus a more humane, deeper sense of right.
While the writer's ambition in creating this multi-faceted story of love, duty, religion, politics and family is admirable, the novel is not without faults. Ultimately, I think the decision to consciously draw on Antigone is to the story's detriment, as it felt strong enough on its own without being shoehorned into Sophocles' tragedy. There's a jarring quality to the ending which comes down to a single explosive moment; it would be perfectly at home in a melodrama operating in bold, broad strokes, but it's at odds with the nuance and complexity that precedes it in the book. The switch between the perspectives means that some compelling characters get dropped unceremoniously or appear very late in the story. I particularly missed Isma, whose wry perspective on being a perpetually cautious and self-conscious Muslim in the Western world is one of the most illuminating aspects of the book.
My biggest gripe however is that Aneeka, who by right should be the heart and soul of the book, remains a frustratingly distant, opaque figure even when she gets her own chapter. The author makes a bold stylistic choice to present much of Aneeka's side of the story with poetic ruminations on grief and media extracts, including a sneering tabloid article dubbing her Aneeka 'Knickers' Pasha. It's a gamble that doesn't really pay off and the character feels as if enclosed behind a wall of glass, leaving me annoyed with Aneeka's dramatic antics more than anything else, which I'm sure is quite contrary to the author's intent.
Despite my issues with Home Fire, I'd still read more of Shamsie's work, as much of her writing here is simply wonderful and the perspective on the contemporary world she provides is interesting.

Trade talks are heating up in the NBA.
With Thursday's trade deadline inching closer, contenders are doing all they can to improve their chances for a long playoff run. That includes the Toronto Raptors, who are currently two games back of the Milwaukee Bucks for first in the Eastern Conference.
Sports Illustrated's Jake Fischer reports the Raptors have offered both Kyle Lowry and Jonas Valanciunas to the Memphis Grizzlies, in exchange for Mike Conley and Marc Gasol.
Such a deal would represent the second seismic shift in the franchise in less than seven months.
Lowry was recently selected to play in his fifth straight All-Star Game. The 32-year-old point guard is owed more than $33 million in salary next season before he becomes a free agent.
Valanciunas is nearing a return from a dislocated thumb suffered in December. The 26-year-old big man is averaging 12.8 points and 7.2 rebounds per game. Like Lowry, he has one year remaining on his contract after this season, which will pay him $17.6 million.
Conley, 31, has two years remaining on a contract that pays him $32.5 million in 2019-20 and $34.5 million in 2020-21. The 6-foot-1 point guard is having an excellent season in Memphis, the only team he has known in his 12-year NBA career. He's averaging 20.3 points, 6.3 assists, and 3.4 rebounds per game.
Gasol, 34, is a 7-foot-1 big man from Spain. Still productive, he is averaging 15.7 points, 8.6 rebounds, and 1.2 blocks per game. Like Conley, he has played his entire career with the Grizzlies, entering the league in 2008.
Lowry, who began his career with Memphis, is in his seventh season with the Raptors. Valanciunas has played his entire career in Toronto since being selected fifth overall by the Raptors in the 2011 NBA Draft.
There is competition for Conley and Gasol, as other reports have indicated that the Utah Jazz are willing to part with Ricky Rubio in a package, while the Detroit Pistons have offered Reggie Jackson.
The Grizzlies currently sit second-last in the NBA's Western Conference, so acquiring a player of Lowry's age might not make sense as they look to rebuild. Sports Illustrated reports that Memphis would prefer to receive a young player like OG Anunoby or draft picks instead.
While Lowry's unlikely to be included in such a deal, it'll be interesting to see how this affects his relationship with Raptors president Masai Ujiri going forward.

Admittedly, I'm not much of an animal lover. I love my dog, my sister's dog, and my girlfriend's mother (Huzzah!). Other than that, animals don't really do anything for me. That being said, when I came across the petting zoo at the Central Wyoming Fair and Rodeo, I was like a little kid.
I petted (pet? pat? put?) all sorts of different animals, from goats to cows to chickens to pigs, and I loved them all a little bit. I wanted to take a little piggy home, while all his family went to the market. I actually didn't know the petting zoo existed at the CWFR. Perhaps of if I did, I would have changed my view on animals years ago. Here are some pics of the animals of the CWFR.

Blueseum - History of the Carlton Football Club | Got the Picture? GET IN TOUCH!
ONE of the enduring challenges for the Carlton Football Club archivist is the sourcing of photographs of the Club's "lost" former footballers of yesteryear.
When Carlton, in conjunction with dedicated website Blueseum.org, first sought public assistance in seeking outstanding past player photographs, more than 400 Carlton senior players were not represented by way of photograph. That list (which appears at the end of this story) has since been whittled down to 195 after photographs surfaced in all manner of way.
The recent discovery of eight-game player Henry Crane's portrait came with the assistance of his grandson the three-time Carlton Premiership wingman Garry Crane by way of a cousin and resident family genealogist.
Others came courtesy of the Blueseum's dedicated team of detectives, as Blueseum site manager Jamie Sanderson reported.
"Peter Gilbert's image, taken on a 1964 Broadmeadows Secondary College school trip to Tasmania, was discovered on Facebook," Sanderson said.

Guidobaldi wrote that this small rectangular room preserves the remains of marble flooring and a podium on the rear wall.
This was probably a cult room in relation to the neighbouring Seat of the Augustales.
According to Wallace-Hadrill, ".. the Weights (Pondera) and the Schola should be the two spaces on either side of the entrance to the so-called College of the Augustales (or Curia)." On page186 is a photo of the exterior of the so-called College of the Augustales, (taken from the area of the crossroad on its western side), with the possible location of the weights and measures office (Pondera) in front. (this would be the area of VI.22-23).
Therefore Wallace-Hadrill would seem to be thinking that this entrance, VI.20, is a Schola.
See Wallace-Hadrill, A. (2011). Herculaneum, Past and Future. London, Frances Lincoln Ltd., (p.192, and p.186).
He wrote that a schola is a place for gatherings, sometimes no more than an exedra, or recess within a portico.
