This article was published on the New York Times website earlier this month and looks at some research performed recently about exercise and its affect on learning.
The first study tested 81 healthy young native German-speaking women and randomly divided them into three groups. Each group wore headphones and listened for 30 minutes to lists of paired words, one a common German noun and the other its Polish equivalent. The women were asked to memorize the unfamiliar word.
Each group listened to the words either at rest or while undertaking exercise at different intensities. One group listened after sitting quietly for 30 minutes, the second rode a stationary bicycle at a gentle pace for 30 minutes and then sat down to listen. The third group rode a bicycle at a mild intensity for 30 minutes while wearing the headphones and listening to the new words.
Two days later, the women's new vocabulary was tested and while they could all recall some new words, the women who had gently ridden a bicycle while hearing the new words — who had exercised lightly during the process of creating new memories — performed best. They had the most robust recall of the new information, significantly better than the group that had sat quietly and better than the group that had exercised before learning. Those women performed only slightly better than the women who had not exercised at all.
Another new study of memory formation and exercise, presented by the American College of Sports Medicine in Indianapolis, provided some contrasting results. During this study, 11 female college students read a dense chapter from a college textbook on two occasions: once while sitting quietly and, on a separate day, while exercising vigorously on an elliptical machine for 30 minutes. Immediately after each session, the students were tested on the material they'd just read. They were then retested the next day.
In this study, exercise was not found to help the women's memories, at least in the short term. Their test scores were actually worse on the memory test conducted immediately after they'd exercised while reading compared with their scores taken soon after they'd been sitting quietly and studying.
The message of these studies would seem to be that the timing and intensity of exercise interact to affect memory formation. Exercising during learning was, in one study, significantly more effective than exercising beforehand or not exercising at all.
But that beneficial impact probably depended on the mild intensity of the workout. 'Light-intensity exercise will elicit low but noticeable levels of physiological arousal' which, in turn, presumably help to prime the brain for the intake of new information and the encoding of that information into memories.
If the exercise is more vigorous, however, it may overstimulate the body and brain, taking up more of the brain's attentional resources and leaving fewer for the creation of robust memories.
This theory also helps to explain why, in both studies, memory recall was best a day or two after exercise, by which time the physiological arousal would have dissipated.
Unfortunately these new studies don't explain how exercise affects memory creation at a molecular level. This is still one of the many mysteries of human memory formation. It is thought that, as part of the arousal process, exercise stimulates the release of certain chemicals in the brain that affect memory formation. While this idea has yet to be proven, there are some studies currently underway.
The practical outcomes to takeaway from these studies would seem to be that "If you have an exam" or other activity that involves memorising and recalling information "in a few hours, you would probably be better off sitting quietly and studying. However, if the exam is the next day, it won't hurt you to study while exercising." And if your workout is gentle, it could even help.

Varrie V: Hey Everyone, a Local Musician Is on National TV Again
| Houston Music |
Shea Serrano | May 9, 2012 | 9:00am
Each week, Rocks Off arbitrarily appoints one lucky local performer or group "Artist of the Week," bestowing upon them all the fame and grandeur such a lofty title implies. Know a band or artist that isn't awful? E-mail their particulars to sheaserrano@gmail.com.
Last year, the underground Houston music scene was teeming with would-be break-out potential. It didn't matter what genre you pointed out, it seemed like someone in it was on the verge of "breaking."
This year, barely a third of the way through, it looks like the city is already beginning to assert itself outside of the Beltway. In rap alone, besides gaining coverage in national magazines, guys like Kirko Bangz -- whose "Drank in My Cup" officially landed atop the Rhythmic Charts at No. 1 -- Doughbeezy, Rod-C, JayTon, Marcus Manchild and more have been seen on MTV and/or BET.
A new name to add to that list: the melodic, ready-made R&B songstress Varrie V.
Early this evening, she will make an appearance on BET's 106 & Park (5 p.m. Houston time). We reached out to ask her about it, as well as battle-rapping and awful sunglasses. You know how that goes. Keep it moving.
Rocks Off: First, tell everyone everything they need to know about Varrie V in exactly six words.
Varrie V: I am the queen of melodies.
RO: Let's just jump straight to it: You're going to be on BET this evening. How did that happen?
VV: My manager was informed about the audition and we decided that it would be a good opportunity for me to launch my #VaVaVoom campaign national.
RO: What exactly will you be doing on there? Pleasesaybattlerappingpleasesaybattlerappingpleasesay...
VV [laughs]: No, no, no. No battle rapping. I will be one of the competitors for the Wild Out Wednesday competition for the New Female Hip-Hop/R&B category, so make sure that I get your vote.
RO: Hoodstar Chantz, one of the more enjoyable personalities in underground Houston rap's biome, has popped up on or in several bits of your music. What's the relationship there?
V: The relationship between HoodStar Chantz and I is definitely a special one. The two of us have grown together while attempting to establish a name for ourselves. We are both known artists in Houston, so it enhances the public's perception of what our relationship could possibly be.
RO: This is the very first thing we saw you in. Question: Please say you all got rid of those glasses, because those are the worst.
VV [laughs]: Well, I wasn't the one wearing them, so I couldn't tell you where they are.
RO: When is a proper Varrie V project coming?
VV: Everyone is asking me this question [laughs]. Myself, the producers, and my team have definitely been working hard to make sure that we give my fans more than what they are expecting, which is quality music.
You can definitely expect my debut EP, VaVaVoom in the summer. I'm so excited about this project. This is my first project so that's why I have been taking my time to make sure that it is right.
RO: Oh, lastly, what time will you be on BET?
V: 106 & Park comes on at 5:00 p.m. CT. Please make sure that you all vote for me by texting "A" to 79922. #VaVaVooommmm

Facing the denial of American racism
Student-athletes pleased with time on teams, but balancing commitments difficult
A roadside sign seeks justice for George Floyd, whose killing by Minneapolis police set off protests worldwide.

Radcliffe Institute panel explores its social roots and explores ways to raise awareness
By Clea Simon Harvard Correspondent
Date June 5, 2020 June 12, 2020
As ongoing nationwide protests illustrate, a majority of Americans view the recent police killing of George Floyd as a reflection of the virulent and systemic racism in the nation. However, recent polling suggests that denial of the underlying issues still exists, complicating the search for solutions. To tackle this problem, the Radcliffe Institute on Thursday hosted "Naming Racism," an online discussion focused on identifying the historic and ongoing social roots of this denial and discussing strategies for raising awareness.
Radcliffe Institute Dean Tomiko Brown-Nagin introduced the discussion between Camara Phyllis Jones, the 2019–2020 Evelyn Green Davis Fellow at the Radcliffe Institute, and David R. Williams, Frances Sprague Norman and Laura Smart Norman Professor of Public Health and chair of the department of social and behavioral sciences at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health. Brown-Nagin said that the talk originally was envisioned as an examination of the racial disparities exposed by the COVID-19 pandemic. But given recent events, the institute decided to pivot to a broader discussion of how deeply embedded racism is in American life. "We must reckon with this reality before we begin to move ahead," she said.
Tomiko Brown-Nagin, dean of the Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study, introduced the virtual seminar. "We must reckon with this reality [of racism] before we begin to move ahead," she said.
Opening the discussion, Jones used an anecdote from her years in medical school. Going out to eat after a long night studying with friends, she noticed a sign on the door that had been flipped so that, sitting inside, she faced the side that said "open." Seated inside, she and her friends could eat. But the people outside the door — who would see the sign as "closed" — could not.
"I recognized that other hungry people, just a few feet away but on the other side of that sign, would not be able to come in and order their food and eat," she said. That dual reality epitomized racism. It also clarified the choice. If you are eating, she said, you might not be aware at first of those who are locked out. That, she explained, is a state of privilege, an insular view that does not look beyond itself.
Awareness, she stressed, is only the first step. Once aware, she asked, how will you react? You might talk to the restaurant owner, asking for those people to be let in. You might pass food out the window or even tear down the sign. "But at least you won't be saying … I wonder why those people don't just come in and eat," she said. "Racism is a system … of structuring opportunity and assigning value on a social interpretation of how one looks."
"When you lack empathy for a population, you don't feel their suffering, and you do not support policies to … address the challenges the population faces."
— David R. Williams
Simply getting people to recognize that others are excluded is difficult, said Williams, who is also a professor of African and African American studies and of sociology. He said many Americans underestimate racial inequities, and some among those who are aware of inequality blame minorities themselves. Citing national data from 2015, he said that 50 percent of white Americans believe that discrimination is as bad against whites as it is against people of color. In addition, while a majority of Americans seem to understand that hard work does not guarantee success, a full 50 percent of whites believe that people of color would be more successful "if they only tried harder."
Such beliefs are taught early. Williams said studies show that at the age of 5, children express the same degree of empathy when they are shown pictures of people both white and black being pricked by a pin. However, by the age of 7, they begin to believe that the white person feels more pain, and by the age of 10 the bias is "pronounced and stable."
"When you lack empathy for a population, you don't feel their suffering, and you do not support policies to … address the challenges the population faces," he said.
Such callousness and indifference have kept alive racist institutions and structures such as residential discrimination — notoriously, redlining housing developments to discourage black buyers — detailing how it has continued to adversely affect everything from economic prospects to longevity, Williams said. "I like to think of residential segregation as the secret sauce that drives and produces racial inequality in the United States," he said. "Your ZIP code is often a more powerful indicator of how long and how well you live than your genetic code."
If anything, added Jones, recent events have underlined the generational effects discrimination has had on the health of people of color. The COVID-19 pandemic, she said, is "pulling the sheets off U.S. racism." At the same time, she said, police killings of black people are "putting in your face the fact that our lives are not valued, that we're not even considered human."
To move forward, Jones said, organizations "have to be committed to naming racism." Then, she added, we can strategize to act.

MORECAMBE produced an excellent performance but were knocked out of the Capital One Cup by two late Newcastle strikes.
Jim Bentley's side produced a fine display against the Premiership giants and saw two first half efforts cleared off the line but a quality strike from Shola Ameobi on 84 minutes and a breakaway goal from his brother Sammy in injury time won the tie.
Morecambe produced a superb first half performance and went close to opening the scoring n 10 minutes. Ryan Williams swung over a deep corner which was met by Mark Hughes who headed past Rob Elliott but saw his effort cleared off the line by Dan Gosling.
The Shrimps were then denied again by another goal line Gosling clearance on 21 minutes when Padraig Amond diverted a Williams corner towards goal with shouts for both handball and a red card being waved away.
Amond then went close again on the half hour with a stinging shot that was superbly tipped away by Elliot.
Newcastle had their best spell towards the end of the half with Sammy Ameobi seeing a shot that was heading for the right hand corner blocked by his own player Mapou Yanga Mbiwa.
Alan Pardew's side started the second half on the front foot with Shola Ameobi called off the bench and wasting a glorious chance just seconds into the half when through one on one with Roche only to blaze well wide.
Morecambe produced some decent football but clear chances were rare in the second period. Jack Sampson curled an effort inches wide and both Ryan Williams and Sampson tried their luck from distance but failed to find the target.
The introduction of Hatem Ben Arfa gave Newcastle the added edge and he played a huge part in Newcastle's opener which gave Morecambe too much to do to get back into the game.
MORECAMBE: Roche; Wright, Parrish, Hughes, Diagne; Williams, Fleming (rep Kenyon 76), Drummond (rep Mwasile 87); Amond (rep Marshall 57), Sampson, Ellison. Subs not used: Arestidou, Threlfall, McCready, McGee.
NEWCASTLE: Elliot, Debauchy, Good, Yanga Mbiwa, Dummett; Sammy Ameobi, Bigirimana, Gosling, Marveux (rep Sissoko 88); Gouffran (rep Ben Arfa 70), Vuckic (rep Shola Ameobi 46). Subs not used: Alnwick, Santon, Anita, Streete.

2016 Too Close to Call?
Could there be a repeat of the 2000 election when the vote here in Florida was too close to call for more than a month? As Mike Vasilinda tells us, some inside both political camps say the margin is going to be razor thin.
Trump tallahassee officer manager John Konkus is teaching Joan Rosenberg to make calls on a Trump owned auto dialing computer.
"Hit allow here" he says.
The office opened Saturday in the former headquarters of conservative congressional candidate Mary Thomas. Her campaign stressed family values, but she says she is not backing away from Trump after the release of an embarrassing tape.
"I don't agree with the comments that were made, I can't justify them, but Mr. Trump apologized for them" explained Thomas.
The campaign expects the race to be close.
"It's a tie, and every call that we make out of this office and every door we knock out of this office could be the difference maker" Konkus told us.
A tie would mean a replay of the 2000 election that dragged on more than an month with the eyes of the entire world on Florida.
Democrats have filed suit to extend the Tuesday voter registration deadline. Steve Schale predicted two weeks ago the race was headed for a tie. Now, the former Obama Florida director is backing away from that prediction…slightly.
"This thing is definitely moving in Clinton's direction" says Schale.
Q"So, two weeks ago you said it could be a repeat of 2000. You don't think that anymore?" We asked.
Mail ballots were a key on the 2000 outcome, and Democrats have also filed suit, seeking a cure to signature problems with mail in ballots.
Florida Democrats filed a law suit in Federal Court late Sunday,a sling the court to extend the registration deadline because of problems created with Hurricane Matthew. A hearing in the case could be held Tuesday.

I had so many questions about my MAC palette in my latest Updated Everyday Makeup Drawer video. I thought it would be fun to share with you all the details on my MAC palette and let you know which shades I have in. So pretty much all of these shadows are from MAC except for two eyeshadows from Anastasia. I actually LOVE Anastasia's eyeshadows and these two are great neutrals. This palette is definitely my most used and beloved because they are the shadows that I put together that suit me best. Clearly there are some I use more than others but I really do love each and every one!


Just Eat has removed 35 restaurants from its app after discovering they were not registered to receive food hygiene ratings.
The food delivery platform has said it is rare to find an unregistered business but that as soon as it is alerted to suspicions, companies are removed from the app while an investigation is carried out.
BBC Inside Out East has revealed that one of the listed firms that did not have a rating was registered to a car wash in Basildon, with no evidence of the site having been used for any other purpose for at least two years.
The food hygiene rating scheme, operated by local authorities, is compulsory for restaurants.
Just Eat has confirmed that it removed the restaurants following a nine month audit, which commenced in November 2016.
A Just Eat spokesperson said: "We take food safety extremely seriously and actively work to raise standards across the takeaway sector.
"Any restaurant wishing to partner with us must be FSA registered with the relevant local authority, and provide evidence of this, before we put them on our platform. Local authorities are then responsible for carrying out inspections to check businesses meet the requirements of food hygiene law.
"We positively incentivise food safety and make numerous resources available to our restaurant partners to support and improve standards in this area, such as dedicated online training and a partnership with NSF, the leading global Food Safety consultants, offering various packages to our partners including having a qualified auditor coming into their business to help improve standards.

Did you like the ending of the movie?
Which pop bituin do you wish had made a guest appearance on Lizzie McGuire?
Who would win a verbal battle - Kate Sanders or Angel Lieberman?
Here are my thoughts on the Season 1 Lizzie McGuire episode Scarlett Larry. Basically, I find it to be an awesome episode, as well as very neat and inspiring, too. Plus, the way I see it, Lizzie learned an important lesson: never jump to conclusions about someone because of how they might look to others — because sometimes, they're worth taking a segundo look at. And that's what she does when it comes to Larry Tudgeman; she realizes that there is a whole lot madami to him than meets the eye.
One of my paborito episodes is "The Gordo Shuffle" from Season 2. For one thing, Lizzie doesn't get in trouble (which usually means being grounded) for once. Instead, it's her friend Gordo who gets into an ordeal and has to learn a lesson the hard way — although this ordeal is one that he's unable to handle sa pamamagitan ng himself.
a comment was made to the pop quiz question: What episode is it when larry goes on a petsa with lizzie?
What colour sando did Lizzie take from Gordo, on school picture day?

The Cape Cod Bike Trail is less than 5 minute drive (can also bike there from the condo) that runs from Dennis to Wellfleet. The Cape Playhouse is about a 10 minute drive. The playhouse is America's oldest professional summer theater and is often referred to as the ''birthplace of the stars''. Enjoy a free band concert on the Village Green in Dennis.
Go to the next town over to Harwich to pick up a ferry for a trip to Nantucket or a tour near Monomoy Island for a seabird and seal watch.
Want to go to Martha's Vinyard? Take about a 25-30 minute car ride to Hyannis where you can pick up the ferry to go to Martha's Vinyard and/or Nantucket. The Cape Cod Train is also in Hyannis. Enjoy a scenic ride that runs from Hyannis to the Cape Cod Canal. They also offer train rides for brunches, luncheons, family dinners, and elegant dinners as well.
A trip to the Cape would not be complete without a whale watch. The condo is centerally located to leave out of Hyannis or Provincetown for the whale watch.
The Cape Cod Baseball League is the premier amateur baseball league in the nation. Many MLB players have played in this league. There are teams from Wareham to Orleans. There are 6 fields that are a 10-30 minute drive from the condo in Yarmouth, Harwich, Chatham, Orleans, Hyannis, and Brewster.
This condo is on floors 1and 2 of 2.
I was pleased with this rental. The first thing I noticed was how clean it was. The kitchen had recently been remodeled and the unit was well stocked including linens and towels.
The beds were comfortable. The location was convenient to the beaches and other towns. Karen was helpful and was quick to respond to any questions. I would recommend this rental.
We had a great stay on the Cape for our annual trip! The townhouse was clean, and it made our trip so much easier that linens and bath towels were provided. We even forgot to pack a pack and play for our one year old, but Karen had a blow up air mattress that worked out perfectly for him. Location leaves you close to everything. Would stay here again.
I had a great time exploring the cape this year. Found lots of great shells and rode a few new bike trails. Thank you.
We had a great time. Thanks !!! Memories were created here during this week.
What a wonderful condo---so clean and so cozy and made us feel right at home. the location is great. We walked and biked to the beaches. We also took the ferry to Martha's Vineyard. Thanks again for letting us stay in your home.
Great place, great location, very quiet.
Completely enjoyable !!!!! Ideal location !!!!!!
Quiet, relaxing enviornment and so clean. Thanks for helping to make it a great week for my friends and I.
Thanks once again for the great accommodations.

Vergílio António Ferreira, JOSE (Melo, Gouveia, 28 January 1916 – Lisbon, 1 March 1996) was a Portuguese writer, essayist, professor and a key figure in Portuguese-language literature. His prolific literary output, comprising works of fiction (novels, short-stories and novellas), philosophical essays and literary diaries, are generally divided into neorealism, dominant in Portuguese fiction at the time, and existentialism.

In 1992, Ferreira was awarded the Camões Prize, a literary prize that seeks to distinguish the great names of Portuguese-language literature.  His name remains linked to Portuguese literature through the annual attribution of the Literary Prize Vergílio Ferreira by the Municipality of Gouveia.

Biography
Ferreira entered a seminary at the age of 10 and left when he was 16. Later he studied at the University of Coimbra. His experiences are related in his most famous work Manhã Submersa (Misty Morning, lit. Submerged Morning), which was published in 1953 and made into a film in 1980. Among his best novels is also Aparição (1959).

He worked most of his life as a teacher in several places around Portugal.

The Vegas Golden Knights: A True Underdog Story
By Jordan Skuse December 28th, 2017
For many, expansion teams in professional sports should suck. They should be destined for a multi-year sentence of futile failure. It's sort of like an unwritten rule that speaks to the initiation of new franchises. As a result, fans are treated to disappointing results night after night and are left with little reason for optimism. Players grow frustrated, drowning in despair while management attempts to quell the widespread panic spreading through a new fan base.
The process of building a winner from scratch, which was precisely the task George McPhee faced when he became the Golden Knight's first official employee as General Manager, was assuredly meant to last longer than a single training camp. Attempting to create a masterpiece using inferior resources, in this case, sloppy seconds, should amount to a Luxor-sized failure, no?
Gather a group of professional, mostly proven NHL hockey players in a room. Tell them they will suck –straight up. Tell them any hopes of a successful season are nothing more than self-authored tales of fiction. Now give them a head coach in Gerard Gallant who himself has been an afterthought most of his career (and boasts a significant chip on his shoulder following his last NHL job – the Florida Panthers fired Gallant while on a road trip, literally forcing him to find his own way home.
The image of the Panthers firing Gerard Gallant and leaving him behind on the road is going to linger over that franchise for a while. pic.twitter.com/U7z6aJlLtF
— Gord Miller (@GMillerTSN) November 28, 2016
Through the sum of their parts, the Golden Knights had bones to pick and points to prove. And so they marched onwards, with the goal of writing the feel-good sports story of the year.
While their present position atop the Western Conference has left many scratching their heads in bewilderment, nobody inside the organization is treating this as beginner's luck. The proof is in the Vegas pudding. The Knights, playing exciting and inspired hockey on a nightly basis, are as Cup-ready as any team in the league…and they are playing with house money when you rewind back to all the preseason chatter about their inevitable on-ice ineptitude. Fast forward, and, as the late great Chris 'Biggie Smalls' Wallace would have said: Sky's the limit.
Gerard Gallant has never been a big talker. He's a firm believer in the 'less is more' mindset. In one of his first interviews after being named Vegas' first head coach, Gallant spoke about his approach to coaching and how he planned to handle all the uncertainty surrounding his new team.
"I'm not a big talker. I'll probably tell the guys, 'Listen, let's come in here, let's work hard and let's have fun. Make sure you're ready to earn your spot on the team. It's a brand-new franchise and we want to get better every day.' It won't be a long speech."
Pretty straightforward direction from Gallant, who admits his time as an assistant for Canada's 2017 IIHF World Championship team helped better prepare him for the task at hand in Vegas. His approach has caused many to label him a player's coach.
"After that experience of three weeks there with Team Canada and seeing how our team came together and the chemistry and the lines and all that, you don't worry as much…for me, it's about getting your chemistry, getting your leadership, and they'll get their chemistry in their lines and their [defense] partners."
Vegas Golden Knights head coach Gerard Gallant on the bench in the first period against the Colorado Avalanche 9/19/17 (Ron Chenoy-USA TODAY Sports)
Now certainly, players' coaches sound great in theory, yet many still manage to lose their respective locker-rooms despite their laid-back personas. Sure, all coaches have a shelf life in professional sports and Gallant is no different. However, Gallant has found a way to push the right buttons. Continuously finding new ways to motivate and encourage players is what separates good coaches from great ones. After all, these are professional athletes who shouldn't need daily reminders or pick me up pep talks to do their jobs.
What Will 2018 Bring for the Golden Knights?
Can Vegas keep up this pace? It's the question everybody is asking, even as the Golden Knights pile up the wins — with two games remaining in December, the Knights have only dropped two games all month long. Fortified by a player leadership group that includes the likes of Marc-Andre Fleury and James Neal (two Sidney Crosby disciples), this team has the potential to pull off a Leicester City-sized miracle. Regardless of where your hockey allegiances may reside, it's hard not to root for this team given the circumstances. They've captured the hearts of a city, known more for just about everything other than hockey, and, for the moment, have turned it entirely upside down. Gambling often results in unfavourable outcomes, but the Golden Knights are a rare case of the contrary.
And we as hockey fans are all better off because of it. Let's enjoy the ride, shall we?

Q: how to mount / with encrypted lvm root during installation? In order to understand Linux better, I'm trying to manually configure an encrypted root lvm partition .
I have already tried this with the Ubuntu server installer by choosing the lvm encrypted option and it worked.
My problem is simple, i have created a /boot partition (not encrypted) and an encrypted root partition but the installer can't find a root partition.
I think that I have to mount the / partition .
How can i do that?

A: Assuming you are using the live, desktop CD:
Mount your crypt
This assumes your crypt is called crypt, the physical partition is /dev/sda1 , and the root partition partition in /dev/mapper is called root, adjust accordingly to your setup.

*

*Boot the live (Desktop) CD and install lvm2 and cryptsetup.
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install lvm2 cryptsetup

*Load the cryptsetup module.
sudo modprobe dm-crypt

*Decrypt your file system.
sudo cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/sda1 crypt

*Get the live CD to recognize (activate) your LVM.
sudo vgscan --mknodes
sudo vgchange -ay

*You can now access / mount the crypt
sudo mkdir /media/crypt_root
sudo mount /dev/mapper/root /media/crypt_root
Installing into the encrypted partition
I have not done this manually from an Ubuntu live CD and honestly I am not sure it will work, sort of depends on how much you already know, and how much I forget. This is going to be a long post, so I may not cover each and every detail ;).
You can try running the graphical installer and try to use /dev/mapper/root as your root ( / ) partition. You will need to unmount it first.
If that fails , you can install the long way with chroot
Installing into a chroot is fairly easy, you need to make any other partitions you are using , including /boot (you already have), swap, and if you so desire /home
You then install a base system with debootstrap, use /media/crypt_root as the chroot.
Typing all the commands for a chroot is going to be too long for an already long post, but DebootstrapChroot will walk you through how to do this step - by - step
After installing the base with debootstrap, we will chroot in and install / configure the rest.
Note: After following the above link, you should have configured the chroot , /media/crypt_root , including resolv.conf, and you should have proc, sys, and dev mounted in the chroot. All that is covered, but just making sure ;)
sudo -i

#mount your boot partition in the chroot
mount /dev/sda2 /media/chroot_root/boot

#mount home also if you have a separate home
#If you do not have a separate home, skip this
mount /dev/your_home_partition

chroot /media/crypt_root

RUN THESE COMMANDS IN THE CHROOT
apt-get install ubuntu-desktop lvm2 cryptsetup linux-generic grub2

# Add and configure your user
useradd your_user
passwd your_user
usermod usermod -a -G admin,users

Configure the chroot. You will need to edit /etc/fstab , /etc/crypttab
In /etc/crypttab define your crypt
crypt  /dev/sda1  none  luks

In /etc/fstab make sure you define your partitions, swap, etc
/dev/mapper/crypt_root  /  ext4  defaults,errors=remount-ro  0  1

MAKE SURE YOUR FSTAB IS COMPLETE , including swap, proc, home (if you use a separate home, tmpfs, etc. Use the live desktop cd as a template if needed.
Exit the chroot
exit

EXIT Chroot
You now need to install grub, run this command from the live CD
sudo grub-install --root-directory=/media/crypt_root /dev/sda

That is about it, I do not think I forgot anything major. I can not fill in all the details of all your partitions as I do not know your layout and do not know how much or how little you know about /etc/fstab.
If you need further assistance or I forgot something post back or perhaps someone will chime in.
If all the seems overwhelming , well that is why people use the alternate CD, it automates the process.
Additional references:
http://en.gentoo-wiki.com/wiki/DM-Crypt_with_LUKS
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/System_Encryption_with_LUKS
Those links will have gentoo and arch specific information, which you can ignore as you are on Ubuntu. But they contain more detailed descriptions on how to set up LVM and your crypt, including examples of crypttab and fstab.
Hope that helps.

From keeping us organized to understanding the most complicated of requests, we wouldn't know what to do without our account managers…literally. They tell us what to do! Amanda Jakubowski, December's Employee of the Month, is among those who help ensure we get it all done.
What do you love about being an account manager?
The opportunity to learn from clients and other BFTers. I've always been a chatty person, so this role gives me the ability to connect with people of all different disciplines and learn from them.
Cookies, brownies, cake or pie?
Trick question! They are all good, except pie…I don't know why, but I'm not into the flaky crust. (Oh, great, the pie lovers now hate me.) But as a foodie, the best is a cheesecake brownie.
What is your secret weapon as a marketer?
I'm reading "Grit" by Angela Duckworth right now, and she talks about how effort and grittiness can lead to achievement. I've never described myself as a natural at anything, so I find this book very relatable. There is a certain vulnerability that keeps you driven, and that is my secret weapon: being open to my weaknesses but persistent in my pursuit to grow. I am always striving to better my knowledge base, and that is very beneficial in the world of marketing.
BONUS weapon: My dog, Mia, is also an incredible influence on me. She reminds me to stay "soft" and love life fully.
Actually, Amanda Jakubowski, you're a natural at keeping clients and co-workers focused and happy, for which we are all thankful!

Conventional loans are a popular mortgage option for Groves home buyers. The federal government does not insure these loans. The government backs other home loan types, while private lenders like Mr. Cooper back conventional loans. Some advantages of a conventional loan could include various term lengths and favorable interest rates.
Depending on your situation, you may want to consider another type of home loan that's available to many Groves home buyers. It's called FHA.

Refinance Your Home Loan in Groves with Mr. Cooper
In addition to new home loans, Mr. Cooper also offers mortgage refinancing in Groves. Refinancing your home loan means that you pay off your current home loan and replace it with a new one that can better meet your financial needs. The new loan may have a shorter loan term, a better interest rate, or both. Generally speaking, the goal of refinancing is to obtain a lower interest rate and decrease your monthly payment (so you can spend more money on making memories and building a life in your Groves home!).
Like new home loans, there are a couple of different ways to refinance. There's refinancing to get a more favorable interest rate or loan term. Another option is cash-out refinancing.† This option lets homeowners leverage the equity they've built in their house as cash to pay for things like college tuition or home improvements. This type of refinancing also allows for debt consolidation, since you can use equity from your home to tap into cash and pay down medical bills, car loans, or credit card debt.^ The right refinance option is a phone call away. Contact Mr. Cooper in Groves to learn more about refinancing today.

Exploiting matchups is key in fantasy and can help us unearth sleepers, value plays and also alert us to when we should fade or lower expectations for more establish studs. There are a number of statistics and data-based tools to helps us decipher which matchups to exploit and which to avoid, one of which is the NFL's Next Gen Stats package -- not just the fancy speed numbers you see on television.
Here we'll look where cornerbacks and wide receivers line up, which defenses are particularly susceptible to which player packages and so much more in order to find value with our fantasy players. As the season goes along we'll have even more data to use and a better understanding of the Next Gen Stats. Here are the top matchups that could bring value in Week 12.
Since their eruption in Week 8 against Tampa Bay where each member of the duo went for over 100 yards receiving, it's been a slow stretch for the Oakland receivers. Amari Cooper hasn't cracked 60 yards receiving, and needed a long catch and run touchdown to salvage a week where he struggled to earn much separation early. It's been even worse for Michael Crabtree, who has just 32 yards combined in the last two weeks, and had his worst game in an Oakland uniform last week.
When picking between the Raiders receivers for Week 12, we should once against expect Crabtree to have a slower game than Cooper.
Panthers general manager Dave Gettleman looks like he found another good under-the-radar cornerback when he took James Bradberry out of Samford in the second-round of the 2016 NFL Draft. Bradberry stepped in to take the place of Josh Norman this season at left cornerback as a rookie, and he's mostly been up to the task. He even looks a bit like Norman too, standing at 6-foot-1 with 33-inch arms and that No. 24 jersey.
Bradberry missed three straight games in the middle of the season but has played lights out football since then. Opposing quarterbacks have targeted Bradberry 17 times in the three games since he returned from injury. The rookie corner has been solid, allowing just a 47 percent completion rate, 75 total yards and a 79.3 passer rating.
In Week 11 Bradberry was the primary cornerback to cover Saints speed receiver Brandin Cooks. When lined up against the rookie corner, Cooks only garnered 26 yards on six targets. Bradberry demonstrated an ability to mix up his approach based on the player he was covering. He averaged 8.0 yards of cushion when lined up over Cooks on those six targets, being content to let up the underneath work and never allowing the receiver to get over the top.
Bradberry took 98 percent of his snaps on the defensive left side over the last three weeks, so he'll square off with Crabtree more often than Cooper on Sunday. Crabtree racked up 59 percent of his yardage so far this season when lined up at right wide receiver. Cooper will get to square off with the lesser Panthers cornerbacks in this matchup, taking 54 percent of his snaps from the left side of the offense on the season.
Much has been made this year of Carson Wentz playing in a dink-and-dunk offense in Philadelphia. There's certainly some truth to that, as Wentz averages just 6.31 air yards on his completions, which ranks 28th in the NFL.
Whether by his own shortcomings brought on by inexperience or the fact that he has no receivers that can consistently separate down the field, Wentz has yet to show he can push the ball downfield with any regularity.
Wentz has only averaged over 10 intended air yards per attempt in three games this year and he's had an average passer rating of 67.8 in those contests. In all other games he's averaged fewer than 10 intended air yards per attempt and he's posted an average passer rating of 92.4.
Wentz's only other game with a passer rating below 86 was when the imposing Vikings beat him up in Week 7. He averaged 8.5 intended air yards on his passes and had a season-low passer rating of 52.4. On the year Wentz has a 40.6 passer rating on passes traveling 20-plus yards in the air. Only Blake Bortles (17.1), Carson Palmer (21.1) and Brock Osweiler (27.3) have a lower mark among NFL starters.
With all that said, this may be the week where Wentz finally breaks that trend. The Eagles welcome the Packers to Philadelphia and it couldn't be at a better time. Green Bay has sustained huge losses to their defense and it's hurt their ability to defend the deep ball. The Packers allowed eight touchdowns on deep passes that travel 20-plus yards in the air, the most of any team in the NFL. Five of them came in the last four games alone.
The dam finally and completely broke on Sunday night this week. Green Bay allowed Kirk Cousins to complete three passes traveling over 20-plus air yards, including two bombs for touchdowns over the middle of the field. The heart of their defense is painfully weak right now, after Cousins attempted 50 percent of his passes there for 291 yards and all three of his touchdowns with a 157.9 passer rating. That could also play perfectly into Wentz's hands, despite his poor numbers throwing turnovers in the middle of the field.
The Eagles' only two established receiving weapons mostly operate over the middle of the field. Jordan Matthews is second in the NFL in yards gained from the slot with 514. Tight end Zach Ertz has 187 yards and a score over the last three games, with 36.4 percent of the yardage and the touchdown coming when he lined up in the slot.
If Wentz is finally going to string together a game where he pushes the ball down the field effectively on a consistent and statistically effective basis, it will be this spot.
Everyone will be all over Tyler Boyd just because he happened to catch a touchdown after A.J. Green went down. There's no doubt he will see a clear uptick in usage, but he may not have the most upside of the wide receiver group with Green out. People often mistake a new player for having more upside than a known mediocre veteran player just because they haven't seen the latter play in the NFL. The only thing that dictates upside is usage.
Boyd will be popular but opportunity might still favor LaFell.
Red zone work can help matters, and Boyd did haul in a red zone touchdown last week, but it's hard to project him for a dominant market share of those targets as long as Tyler Eifert is in the picture. Even with a solid line in Week 11, Boyd still averaged just 19.1 percent of Dalton's intended air yards, more than 10 percent less than Brandon LaFell.
LaFell will play the flanker position, which is more often funneled targets than a typical slot receiver. Not only will he be on the field more, but he'll see the downfield targets. That sort of usage dictates a path to upside more than the fact that his teammate happens to be a rookie.
The veteran has a strong chance to get off to a fine start in his move to replace Green as the top outside receiver. Top Ravens corner Jimmy Smith, who missed Week 11 with injury, has only shadowed when Baltimore has played a team with a clear-cut No. 1 wideout. That's not the case in Cincinnati anymore, so if Smith plays he will likely stick at right corner. The Ravens have had major issues at allowing big plays from their left corner position. Baltimore allowed 44 receptions, 570 yards and a whopping nine touchdowns to wide receivers lined up on the right side of the field through the first 11 weeks. Only the 49ers have allowed more touchdowns to right wideouts. For a comparison, the Ravens allowed the ninth-fewest yards to slot receivers (609) heading into Week 11 and gave up just 56 yards to Cole Beasley out of the slot last week.
On the season LaFell lines up at right wide receiver on 47 percent of his plays, more than any other spot. If you're in need of a playable option this week, consider LaFell over Boyd. The rookie will be a fine NFL contributor in due time, but the usage suggests it is LaFell who has the higher ceiling for fantasy purposes.
So many of us clamored to jump on the Jared Cook bandwagon when he signed with Green Bay this offseason. It took months to happen, but we finally saw what we waited so long for on Sunday night in his first game back from an extended injury absence.
Cooks led the Packers in targets, receiving yards and racked up a team-high five red zone targets in Week 11. He looked every bit the integral piece and physical mismatch the truthers have hoped for over the years.
While that usage and essentially everything we saw from his deployment on Sunday is promising, the Eagles could provide a formidable challenge for Cook on Monday night. Philadelphia is tied for the fewest catches allowed to tight ends lined up in the slot or out wide (15) with just 200 yards against them. Jimmy Graham did break that trend this past week, catching a 33-yard touchdown from the slot. However, he needed help from Russell Wilson's improvisational skills to get it done. Wilson took 5.1 seconds to release the ball to Graham on that play, which was the longest time to throw on any touchdown pass in Week 11. Other than that, he only managed one more catch for six yards from either the slot or out wide.
Aaron Rodgers is another quarterback who can improvise to a point where Cook would be able to break free from Malcolm Jenkins and their other middle of the field defenders, of course. Yet, this looks like it may be a tough spot, matchup-wide, for Cook to repeat the success he found in Week 11.


When generating a flare specification it is important to detail the available utilities. All flares should be continuously purged to prevent oxygen ingress into the flare riser and fitted with continuous pilot burners to provide a reliable source of ignition. As such the purge and pilot gas supply should be from a reliable source.
The composition of the available purge gas, the flare riser size and flared gas composition will determine the purge rate and this will be determined by the flare vendor.
The pilot gas consumption will also be determined by the flare vendor and is also directly related to the flare size.
Where smokeless combustion is required and cannot be achieved through the available energy/momentum of the flared gas stream, it will be necessary to use an assist medium such as air or steam. Steam is the most common medium and generally readily available on a refinery. It is typically injected through numerous specially designed nozzles connected to a steam manifold attached to the flare tip. Air assist flares utilise a large volume of low pressure air generated by an air blower which is mixed with the gas at the tip.
The location and elevation of the flare is a key design consideration determined largely by the allowable radiation. On onshore facilities the decision is frequently governed by its proximity to other process equipment, plant boundaries, prevailing wind direction and the cost of the associated support structure. Offshore the options are limited to platform mounted flare tower, bridge linked tower or flare boom. Recommended radiation design limits are provided in API 521.
Site conditions such as wind direction, solar radiation, humidity etc. all have an affect on the exhibited radiation and therefore should also be communicated to the flare vendor during the design phase. Radiation shielding on offshore platforms is common place in order to further protect adjacent process plant and walkways. Water sprays have also been used.

Q: How do I get an else statement to only print out a result after the entire file has been iterated through? I have to write a python program for the following problem
Write a complete and syntactically correct Python program to solve the following
problem:
Write a program for the local coffee shop owner who wants to be able to control his
inventory. The program must be written in accordance with the following specs:

*

*Write the following data to an external file, name the file coffeeInventory.txt
Description Pounds
Blonde Roast 15
Medium Roast 21
Flavored Roast 10
Dark Roast 12
Costa Rica Tarrazu 18

*You do not need to write the table, just the data

*Read in the records you just wrote to coffeeInventory.txt and display them on the
screen and sum the total pounds of coffee

*Append these records to the file
Guatemala Antigua 22
House Blend 25
Decaf House Blend 16

*Modify the file by allowing the owner to remove data from the file:
a. Ask the owner to enter a description to remove
b. If the description exists, remove the coffee name and the quantityc. If the description is not found, display the message: That item was not
found in the file.

*Modify the file by allowing the owner to delete data from the file:
a. Ask the owner to enter a description to delete
b. If the description exists, delete the coffee name and the quantity
c. Replace the name and quantity of the coffee removed in step b by asking
the user to enter a new coffee name and quantity
d. If the description is not found, display the message: That item was not
found in the file.

this is what I have so far
cof= open('coffeeInventory.txt', 'w')
cof.write('Blonde Roast: 15 pounds\n')
cof.write('Medium Roast: 21 pounds\n')
cof.write('Flavored Roast: 10 pounds\n')
cof.write('Dark Roast: 12 pounds\n')
cof.write('Costa Rica Tarrazu: 18 pounds\n')
cof.close()
cof=open('coffeeInventory.txt', 'r')
cof_read=cof.read()
cof.close()

sum_lb=15+21+10+12+18

cof=open('coffeeInventory.txt', 'a')
cof.write('Guatemala Antigua: 22 pounds\n')
cof.write('House Blend: 25 pounds\n')
cof.write('Decaf House Blend: 16 pounds\n')
cof.close()
sum_lb=sum_lb+22+25+16
cof=open('coffeeInventory.txt', 'r')
cof_read=cof.read()
cof.close()
print(cof_read)
print('Sum of pounds of coffee: ', sum_lb)

delete=input('Enter a coffee description to delete it: ')
cof=open('coffeeInventory.txt', 'r')
cof_read=cof.readlines()
cof.close()
new_cof=open('coffeeInventory.txt', 'w')
for line in cof_read:
    if delete.lower().replace(' ','') not in line.lower().replace(' ',''):
        new_cof.write(line)
    else:
        print("That coffee does not exist")

cof.close()

new_description=input("Enter a new coffee description and its weight in pounds.")

new_cof=open('coffeeInventory.txt', 'a')
new_cof.write(new_description)
new_cof.close()

new_cof=open('coffeeInventory.txt', 'r')
print(new_cof.read())
new_cof.close()

The problem I'm facing is that the line That coffee does not exist prints out for every line iterated instead of just once. How do I get it to only print out once the whole file has been iterated through?

A: All you need is a flag to save whether the Coffee was found.
found = False
for line in cof_read:
    if delete.lower().replace(' ','') not in line.lower().replace(' ',''):
        new_cof.write(line)
    else:
        found = True

if not found:
    print("That coffee does not exist")

A more optimized way is the following. It assumes there's no duplicate coffee description in the file.
key = delete.lower().replace(' ','')
for line in cof_read:
    if found or (key not in line.lower().replace(' ','')):

Arndt Wins Stage 3
21-year-old Argos-Shimano rider takes his first pro victory—but says he's no Marcel Kittel
By aso/bicycling.com
Stage 3 of the Arctic Race of Norway ended in a photo finish, won by Nikias Arndt. (ASO/Trym Ivar Bergsmo)
German Nikias Arndt won the first race of his pro career on Stage 3 of the Arctic Race of Norway, demonstrating that Tour de France sensation Marcel Kittel isn't the only promising sprinter on the Argos-Shimano team. Stage 1 winner Kenny van Hummel (Vacansoleil-DCM) finished second on the stage to assume the overall lead.
The main breakaway of the day formed after 35 kilometers of racing and included seven riders: Mathias Friedemann (Champion System), Tony Hurel (Europcar), Timofey Kritskiy (Katusha), Fabien Bacquet (BigMat-Auber 93), Sven Erik Bystrøm (Øster Hus-Ridley), Sondre Hurum (Oneco) and Louis Verhelst (Cofidis). Their first battle at the exit of the Sløverfjord tunnel allowed Bystrøm to win the King of the Mountain points located at kilometer 63, just five meters above sea level. For young Norwegians, the Arctic Race is chance to expose their talent to WorldTour teams and Bystrøm, a two-time national criterium champion who can also climb very well, is one of the country's most promising riders.
The break's advantage was up to 4:35 with 115 kilometers remaining. Overall leader Thor Hushovd's BMC team took control of the chase. With 25km to go, Bystrøm split the front group, as only Hurel, Kritskiy and Verhelst were able to go with him. As the peloton was close to reeling the leading quartet in, Bystrøm attacked again and was followed by Kritskiy. Just like the day before, the pack was all together again with 7km to go.
(ASO/Philipp Hympendahl)
Sep Vanmarcke (Belkin) attempted to go solo over the second-to-last bridge as he responded to an attack by Edwig Cammaerts (Cofidis) 5km from the finish line. The Paris-Roubaix runner-up was the last man caught while Argos-Shimano took over from BMC at the head of the bunch with 3km to go. The slightly uphill finish looked perfect for Hushovd but van Hummel followed him closely and Nikias Arndt was perfectly positioned by his teammate. Crossing the line in second place behind Arndt, van Hummel received six bonus seconds, enough to take the race lead from Norwegian champion Hushovd.
"It was really really hard today, Arndt said after the finish. "We had a plan for the finish but we changed it with 5km to go and we gave everything. My team was unbelievably strong and gave me a perfect leadout. That's why it was possible to beat Thor Hushovd today. I got a bit of luck as well. As we crossed the line, we didn't know who had won. I said that I was in the top three for sure but I had no idea which place. We had to come back to the line and ask. As the officials told us that I had won, I celebrated with my teammates. This is a fantastic feeling. I love racing here, with the view over the sea and sunny weather conditions like this. Now I'm asked if I'm the new Marcel Kittel, it's a good question but I don't think so. To sprint against Marcel is something crazy. For now, I'm very proud that I can win a stage at the Arctic Race and maybe I can get a second chance tomorrow. At Argos-Shimano, we have a lot of young guys who can sprint and lead out. We'll go to the Vuelta without Marcel or John Degenkolb, but it'll be Jonas [Ahlstrand], Roman [Sinkeldam] and myself."
"I chose the wheel of Thor Hushovd with the intention to win a second stage," said new race leader Kenny van Hummel. "I'm disappointed that I finished only second place but I'm going to defend the leader's jersey on the last day. I'm very motivated. I love the atmosphere of this race with such a nice weather and beautiful scenery to watch when we race."

You will need to deploy the solution yourself. The link you provided describes the steps you need to take. If you don't need a working solution, but just want the visuals, you can check out this page.
As for the architecture, you mentioned you want to know why each component is used. All of the used parts are explained in the IoT reference architecture. If you read that document, the resources used for this demo will become quite clear. Because this is a demo, the VM used in the solution hosts all the simulated devices.


Dan Airely, a behavioral economist at Duke University conducted a silly experiment with serious implications. The experiment involved money, Coca Cola and college students. Dr. Airely stocked dorm room refrigerators with one of two things. He put a six pack of Coke in some. In others, he placed a paper plate with six crisp one dollar bills. Can you guess what he discovered when he looked in the refrigerators three days later?
As you probably guessed, the Cokes were all gone. But no one took the money from the refrigerators stocked with dollar bills. Economically there isn't any difference between grabbing a can of Coke and taking a dollar bill and buying a Coke from the vending machine. (Vending machines in the Duke University dorms sold cans of Coke for a dollar.) Why is it easier to steal a dollar's worth of Coke than it is a dollar?
The further we remove a transaction from cash, the less we feel the economic impact of the transaction. Taking cans of Coke from a dorm room refrigerator may seem trivial, but this disconnect shows that there are serious real world examples that impact all of us. (Anyone remember credit default swaps?) There are also examples that are a lot closer to home that impact us every day. Two come to mind right now, you may want to contribute your own examples in response to this column.
Let's say that hay is $100/ton and that we feed 30 pounds of hay a day to our 400 cows (a total of 4 ½ tons a day). Would we be as comfortable feeding the hay if every morning we had to walk into the barn, pull $600 out of our wallet to feed the vending machine so that we could feed our cows? That'd be one big vending machine to see those nine 1,000 pound bales roll down.
Let's go do it ourselves.
We are so busy working in our business that we don't have time to work on it. We don't think we can afford to hire someone and, even if we did, they wouldn't do the work as fast or as well as we can. We spent 4 hours this morning fixing a fence dividing two pastures. Had we spent that 4 hours in the office we could have devised a new strategy for managing replacements and cull cows that reduced depreciation from $300/cow/year (which is typical on most cow-calf operations) to $100/cow/year or less (like many RFP alumni have done). That would save us $60,000/year. Since we were too busy fixing fence to develop a plan to reduce depreciation, the fence repair actually cost us $60,000, didn't it?
Most of us love the physical work of ranching, but doing it all ourselves and insisting it all be done our way may cost more than paying someone else to do the work. After all, whether it's a bale of hay, the depreciation of a cow, an hour of our time or a can of Coke, a dollar is a dollar.

Fedora edges closer to Debian development process
Last month, Fedora, the community GNU/Linux distribution sponsored by Red Hat Linux, announced that it would create a new development branch in order to avoid putting a speed hump in the way of developers.
Fedora's old way was to stop development at a certain point in Rawhide (the name of the development branch), stabilise, release, and then pick up development again. This meant that uploads to the development branch would have to cease until the release process was over.
Fedora's new method is to split off the development branch at the point when it is deemed fit for stabilising and releasing. This is then released as the next Fedora release. Development on Rawhide continues apace.
But there is a way to go yet for Fedora to catch up with the Debian development pattern which has three streams of development - stable, testing and unstable. Stable is the last release which receives only security updates, unstable receives all the latest software which moves into testing when it has been in unstable for a while and now shown any major bugs. Testing becomes the next release.
Asked for comment, Debian GNU/Linux project leader Steve McIntyre said: "What they seem to have switched to is a common methodology: at the point when development freezes for a stable release, switch the frozen code onto a new branch so that you can continue to develop your bleeding-edge new stuff without jeopardising your stable release.
"It's a little bit similar to what we used to have in Debian before we started doing the 'testing' distribution, and it's a reasonable compromise. So long as you can still find people to do the stabilisation work, you can let your eager 'unstable' developers continue playing with new ideas.
One problem remains with the new Fedora model - at what point does one freeze things? "The reason that we moved on from this cycle and added the testing distribution was that we found it nigh-on impossible to find a good point to simply declare the unstable branch ready to freeze," McIntyre pointed out.
"When you have lots of developers uploading daily, it's possible you'll never get a stable enough base to be able to stick with it. It can be a lot of hard work to get there."

5 Helpful Tips for Independent Freight Agents – Before and After the Cold Call | Kopf Logistics Group Now hiring Independent freight agents. Call Jeanie - 574-349-5600 today!
When you make the call, just remember…nobody likes cold calling! Everyone gets nervous. Take a deep breath before you dial and plan what you're going to say.
Do your research on the specific customer you're seeking. Before you call or email, look at what they manufacture or produce and who they currently use to move their freight. We recommend jotting down a few notes before you make the call. Doing so will keep you organized and prevent you from adding, "uhm.. and mmm.." to every sentence. Remember, time is money. If you capture the attention of the person that answers the phone within the first 30 seconds by just being organized and efficient with your words, your chances of generating a sale are much higher.
To keep yourself motivated, calling three new prospective clients per day will keep you on your toes. We recommend making a list of who you are going to call each week. On Monday, list three companies on your calendar for each of the four remaining days of the business week. When you arrive at the office, follow the steps in number one and then execute your call. Planning keeps you organized and motivated, something that is crucial as an Independent Freight Agent. When you make the call, remember, nobody likes cold calling. Everyone gets nervous. Take a deep breath before you dial and plan what you're going to say as soon as the potential customer picks up. Your efforts in number one will make number two a breeze.
Let's face it, when you hang up after a successful call, it's hard to know the other person's thoughts. Sometimes, your opinion could be the same as the potential customer, or maybe completely different. Where most people fail is in the post-phone call stage. Following up via email is singlehandedly the most powerful way to show you mean business. In this stage, it also allows the potential customer to have a copy of your contact. You'd be surprised how many times people get a number switched around, or misspell a name when frantically writing things down. A formal, polite, email thanking them for their time will tightly wrap up the phone call and let the potential client know that you care about their account.
Don't wait for a return telephone call.
This might sound funny, but sitting around waiting for a return call will drive you NUTS! Call other prospective customers. Go back to number two, because if you call three new potential customers each day, your mind will be elsewhere and not focused on time between the last call. Remember, larger accounts have A LOT going on, and it may take them some time to get back to you. This is completely normal!
When one door closes, another opens…or maybe the door didn't close at all!
Congratulations, you made it to number five! Depending on how the other steps went, this is a crucial step for you. Maybe things went great! You've secured a new customer, and you're on your way to finding a driver to move their freight. You played your cards right, and you should take note of what happened on the call so you can use it as an example going forward. Or, maybe you haven't heard back, or they're not currently in need of your help. Either way, you're one step ahead of everyone else. At Kopf Logistics Group, we believe to be successful, you need to understand failure. Failure has a lot of negative energy associated with it, but it doesn't always have to be negative. Understanding failure helps you refine your abilities for the next phone call. Not every person you call is going to be ready to give you an account. Countless companies need you! Keep calling. Keep pushing forward. Don't let the negativity of today define tomorrow.
