Sentencing Memos Filed in Bernie Kerik Case
By Jeralyn, Section Crime in the News

Former NY Police Commissioner Bernie Kerik is scheduled to be sentenced in a few weeks on his guilty plea to various tax offenses and false statement charges. Both sides filed lengthy sentencing statements yesterday.
Both parties have agreed to a guideline sentence in the range of 27 to 33 months. The Government is clearly hoping for the max of 33 months. Bernie is asking for 27 months.
Having read through the Government's 61 page sentencing memo and Bernie's (234 pages, including many letters), I have to wonder why the Government is making such a big fuss over 6 months. By pleading guilty, he saved the Government an enormous expense of time and resources that would have been required for a trial that would have lasted many months.
The case is largely based on the same conduct to which he pleaded guilty in the Bronx, and received no jail time. [More..]
What did he do that was so terrible? He didn't declare the value of the renovations on an apartment on his tax returns; he made false statements about them; he didn't declare the value of a BMW he received from a company he was working for; and he spoke for free at organizations and deducted his nomal speaking fee on his return as a charitable contribution. Total: About $300,000. He didn't tell the White House he had a full-time nanny whom he hadn't paid social security and medicare taxes for. (He's since paid them.) And he didn't warn the White House during the vetting process for Homeland Security Chief that his ties to Larry Ray and the Di Tommasso brothers could be portrayed negatively.
The Government makes a point of acknowledging that there is no evidence Kerik was involved in organized crime or had improper dealings with them. It says that because Kerik's brother and his former best man Larry Ray worked for the di Tomasso's company, he improperly asserted himself into an investigation of Interstate's activities. In other words, he meddled.
The defense , obviously, paints a far different picture of Bernie.
The only person the extra 6 months is going to make a difference to is Bernie...and the taxpayers who have to foot the bill for his incarceration.
The Government is also opposing Bernie's request for a voluntary surrender. That strikes me as mean-spirited. Most white collar offenders are allowed to voluntarily surrender to avoid sitting in a county jail for a month while BOP decides where they are going to be placed. In Bernie's case, because of his law enforcement background, he'll end up in segregation. That's just punitive and unnecessary, considering he's not a flight risk. He's been home with his wife and family since the Judge revoked and then reinstated his bail last fall, without any violations.
Why can't the Government be satisfied with a just sentence rather than have to go for the extra pound of flesh to make the sentence as miserable as possible for the defendant?
How is this related to his crimes?
"The defendant's egotism and hubris were the tragic flaws that led him to commit the considerable number of crimes to which he ultimately pleaded guilty.... Mr. Kerik "became a wealthy man by shamelessly exploiting the most horrific civilian tragedy in this nation's history."
I also don't like that they disqualified two of his lawyers during his case, including my pal Joe Tacopina, pictured above with Bernie.
Bernie will also have a heavy restitution bill to pay, that will follow him around when he gets out from prison.
I may not share Kerik's politics, but I have no problem looking at the facts of his case and wondering what the big fuss is all about. And, at least doing so doesn't require me to agree with Rudy Giuliani, who couldn't even be bothered to write a sentencing letter for his former right-hand man -- the person he recommended George W. Bush appoint as Homeland Security Chief.
The federal case against Bernie was filed in 2007. He battled the state for a few years before that. Five years of fighting the Government takes a huge emotional and physical toll.
The Government ends its brief with the sentence: "Those who are charged with enforcing the law must first obey it themselves." That's true, but it should also be taken into consideration whether the defendants' unlawful acts were personal in nature, i.e., were not made with the intent to corrupt police business, and those, like Bernie, whose actions were personal ones, committed outside his law enforcement duties, intended solely to bring personal gain.
I'm not the judge but having read all of the pleadings of both sides since the case began, my view is Bernie should get the bottom of the guideline range, 27 months, and be allowed to voluntarily surrender and get to his designated facility as soon as possible. His sentence won't be over the day he gets out. He'll then have to deal with the difficult task of rebuilding his life and finding a way to support his family and pay his restitution.
When it comes to deterrence, I doubt anyone contemplating similar criminal activity is going to say, "Bernie only got 27 months, I'll take my chances and do the same thing" while if Bernie got 33 months, they'd say, "Oh that's way too much time, I'm not going to follow in his footsteps and take a chance on that big a sentence."
My prediction: The judge splits the difference, gives Bernie 30 months, and allows him to voluntarily surrender.

Why the bottom on the guidelines range? (5.00 / 1) (#1)
by Peter G on Tue Feb 09, 2010 at 08:37:21 AM EST
TL - Apparently there's a plea agreement that binds the defense lawyers not to ask for less than the bottom of the federal sentencing guidelines range, which is 27 months. But as I read your post (not having read the actual written agreement), I gather the judge is not bound by the agreement. And the guidelines are just that, only advisory, not binding. The judge's duty, under federal sentencing law, 18 USC 3553(a), is to impose a penalty which is "sufficient, but not greater than necessary" to accomplish the varied goals of the criminal justice system. (Note to non-lawyer readers, subsection (b) of that law, which seems to require that the sentence usually be within the guidelines range, was stricken from the statute by the Supreme Court in 2005.) You say, "my view is Bernie should get the bottom of the guideline range, 27 months." Why, in this case would the sentence required by law, that is, the minimally sufficient penalty, not be less than 27 months' imprisonment? Why not probation, even? I would not endorse the idea of any incarceration at all in a case of fairly petty tax cheating, where the defendant pleaded guilty and is making amends.
the plea agreement (none / 0) (#4)
by Jeralyn on Tue Feb 09, 2010 at 11:10:53 AM EST
prohibits either party from asking for a sentence outside the guidelines or suggesting the judge sua sponte grant one. While the judge isn't bound by the agreement and could, as you say, decide to impose a lower or higher sentence, I'm assuming he will accept the agreement and impose a sentence within the range. The PSIR agrees the range is correct. The false statement charges are the reason I think the judge won't just sentence as a tax case: he's got false statements to the White House and on a mortgage application.
Thanks for clarifying that (5.00 / 0) (#5)
Yes, I agree that false statements to a bank and to a federal agency (the White House) definitely makes a difference. Kerik's guilty plea to those charges definitely makes the recommended sentence more plausible. But only in the context of our system's over-reliance on incarceration. I still have problems with the assumption that imprisonment is the appropriate punishment for most non-violent felonies.
It's times like this... (5.00 / 1) (#3)

when its hard god damn work not to descend into the depths of "eye for an eye" and say let Bernie-Boy reap what he has sown in his various positions of authority and get the max....hard god damn work.
But my motto is be better than your adversaries..and bottom line, Bernie-Boy ain't a threat no more now that he has no badge and no position...27 months is a long time, there is certainly no need for 33.

The Programme for Management Development (PMD) at the UCT Graduate School of Business is South Africa's oldest continually running management short course and has been helping people to elevate their skills and advance their careers for 50 years. In 2018, the programme celebrated its 100th intake. The course is designed to develop a well-rounded, consummate manager who can solve complex problems sustainably, creatively, and innovatively.
Twenty-five years of organisational research points to self-awareness, an ability to connect and communicate with others, and solving problems creatively as the top three traits of effective managers. Grouped together as Emotional Intelligence (EQ), these skills are more important predictors of success than IQ or technical ability. Enhancing your managers or your EQ is therefore a key lever of success and the Programme for Management Development can help you achieve this.
The course will benefit middle and senior managers.
We offer rebates to those individuals or companies that book well in advance.

May we suggest that it would be very sensible for all potentially beneficial or relieving discretions in the tax legislation which affect small business, as well as other taxpayers generally, be removed from the Commissioner of Taxation and placed in the hands of an independent Ombudsman to exercise?
The Commissioner has an inherent conflict of duties in exercising relieving discretions and usually resolves them in favour of the Revenue, no matter how outrageous or unfair the result.
For example, we are currently involved in case where the excess contributions tax has claimed almost half of a working class couple's lifetime superannuation savings, after working for the Commonwealth for some 70 years between them. There were no net new contributions to the superannuation system, yet the Commissioner has so far refused to exercise his discretion!
An independent person to exercise such discretions would save a lot of disputation between the ATO and small business.


Working from home has its benefits and its low points. I love having a home office that allows me to work from home and still be close to the family. My office is right off of the kitchen and front room of the house - this allows me to be close to the center of the home and also look out the front windows to see what's going on in our world.
This office space has evolved over the years but I love where I've ended up. Check out this old post about finding inspiration for your home office on the Carrie Owens Photography blog. And if you want to see what it used to look like check out my old home office when I was more of a scrapbooker and photographer, things have slowly changed and I'm loving where my space is now.
I love my oily station in my office - so accessible to anyone in the family and the perfect spot to mix up some rollers or sprays or other fun stuff.
Do you have a home office? I would love to see! What are your biggest struggles with your home office space?
It's that time of year - I love it! I love all of the things about the new year. People always say that there's nothing special about January 1st, that you can make a change any time and any day. They are 100% correct - but for me, there is still something magical about the first of the year.
It's amazing to me to thing that the things that I'm going to be doing at the end of this same year may look nothing like what I imagine today. That's ok, life is full of changes. But I like to plan and prepare the best that I can. So much so, in fact, that I often over plan…or intend to over plan. I have always looked for that perfect planner, that perfect idea on how to set and achieve goals that I often find myself in a continuous planning loop without actually doing the work that I'm planning. Of course soon comes disappointment or discouragement or thoughts that maybe my idea isn't good enough when it's really just that perhaps I gave up before it got really good. But still…I plan. Because some planning and hoping and trying is better than nothing in my book. I also really love to highlight tasks once they are finished. Even if I write them in just to cross them out.
My planner of choice is the Get To Work Book by Elise Cripe (one of my favorite bloggers and instagrammers and overall super creative talented types) and you can see from my post about planners back in 2017 I've been using it for a few years.
Things that happen every year like birthdays and anniversaries that I need to make sure to remember.
Any sporting events that I know ahead of time (sometimes I know these things, sometimes I don't and then I'll just add when they become available).
My blog posts that I have planned out using my blog planner (this keeps me accountable and also reminds me of things that I need to get photographed or purchased for upcoming posts).
After those items are entered in I will often go to the the weekly pages for January (or the upcoming month) and start filling in certain things that I know that I need to do daily (water, vitamins, instagram posts, blog posts, etc). I like having these on the actual days so that it gives me something to highlight when they are done and also keeps me on track. I will also go in and enter dates from the monthly calendar now so that I can write down any tasks/to do lists that coordinate with those events.
There are also some awesome project pages and reflection pages in the planner that I use every month as well. These are perfect for mapping out a big project you're working on into smaller, bite sized pieces so that you can actually start tackling your to do list without being completely overwhelmed.
As I mentioned above I love crossing things off my list, but it wasn't until I saw someone else's planner that used a yellow highlighter to run through each item that they had finished that I tried that method. I love it and think that it's such a great way to get a quick reminder of the things that you've accomplished in your day.
Do you use a planner? Digital or paper? What is your favorite and why? If you're looking for a little inspiration for your Get To Work Book, check out the instagram #gettoworkbook for some great ideas.
The You Are a Badass books are next up on my reading list - there's both the regular one and You Are a Badass at Making Money - how could I pass that one up?? I've loved The Miracle Morning by Hal Elrod and The 5 Sencond Rule by Mel Robbins...perhaps two of my very favorites. Have you read Elise Cripe's book on 100 Pep Talks - a book she wrote from an instagram series she did a while back. It's a great quick read with a ton of really awesome nuggets of goal driven advice.
What business and goal books are your favorite? Are you a physical book reader, a kindle reader or do you love the audio books?


Experiments sponsored by RATE show that helium leakage deflates long half-life radioisotopic ages. In 1982 Robert Gentry found amazingly high retentions of nuclear-decay-generated helium (He) in microscopic zircons (ZrSiO4 crystals) recovered from a borehole in hot Precambrian granitic rock at Fenton Hill, New Mexico. In 2001 RATE contracted with a high-precision laboratory to measure the rate of He diffusion out of the zircons. The measured rates resoundingly confirm a numerical prediction we made based on the reported retentions and a young age. Combining rates and retentions gives a He diffusion age of 6000±2000 (1σ) years. This contradicts the uniformitarian age of 1.5 billion years based on nuclear decay products in the same zircons. These data strongly support our hypothesis of episodes of highly accelerated nuclear decay occurring within thousands of years ago. Such accelerations shrink the radioisotopic "billions of years" down to the 6000-year timescale of the Bible. In section 13 I discuss, in the light of our diffusion data, one of the problems for the accelerated decay hypothesis, disposal of excess radiogenic heat. Appendices A–C present details of our experimental data. Appendix D is an extensive answer to a critic of this work.

Melbourne, Australia -- (SBWIRE) -- 05/23/2013 -- Cluwak.com, a company that is devoted to offering its customers the unique and incredibly flavourful Kopi Luwak coffee, has just launched its brand new website. The history behind the new site is as fascinating as the coffee itself.
When Edward Cole, played by Jack Nicholson, referred to Kopi Luwak as "the rarest beverage in the world" in the movie "The Bucket List," there was a surge in demand for the gourmet coffee.
Stephen Bradley, manager of Cluwak cafe and roaster, witnessed this effect first hand in early 2008. "I have not even seen this movie but my customers kept on talking about it in my cafe," he said. This became even more evident to Stephen when he compiled the cafe's review book. Most tourists visiting Indonesia seemed to have "try Kopi Luwak" as part of their own bucket lists.
The reason that Stephen took such a long time to go online was due to the fact that the direction could cannibalize the local experience. "I like seeing visitors at my roaster, however going online means I might no longer see my regular customers. Also, roasted beans have its unique characteristics and very delicate hence there is a risk that it might not be treated and prepared accordingly," he said.
Cluwak.com's offerings are limited to only two varieties, namely the Gold Label with an "Orange winey with a hint of roasted truffles, bright acidity, strong body with a soft sweet lychee finish" and the Black Label with its "Wonderful exotic spice and deep ripe berry with a mild roasted chestnut aromas, full body and haute acidity followed by a black fruity pastilles aftertaste." The tasting notes were derived from an aggregated panel of coffee connoisseurs and baristas as well as customer's reviews.
Customers with experience as baristas are given the freedom to brew their own espresso at Cluwak cafe. Baristas who are visiting Surabaya should not forget their barista certificates. Their popularity are maintained due to their stringent quality control standards in processing, as well as supporting non-caged Kopi Luwak, and the local farmers.
"Some of my customers only visit Surabaya for this ultimate experience, and they usually bring their closest friends or relatives along," Stephen noted.
Given the surprising demand in certain region, Stephen is considering a replication of the "local" experience overseas. A highly probable location is Melbourne, Australia, but he did not reveal more details. It is apparent that a location has been identified in the city but the official announcement will be made via the website in later in the year.
Cluwak has further piled up their accolades when they won gold medal at the Grand Baie Gourmet Coffee show in February, 2013 in Mauritius. The Gold Label is currently the most sought after beans to the connoisseurs and supply are limited, with sometimes up to 3 weeks' waiting time.


Like a lot of other people, I have been alternately galled and amused in recent months to hear all the talk of economic "green shoots" that started back when Ben Bernanke first used the term in February during a 60 Minutes interview (and thereby became the first Fed official ever to do so, even though the economic use of term itself dates to the early 90s). In a culture defined by the universal manipulation of rhetoric and image — what Morris Berman has perceptively identified as "the merging of hype and life" — this type of deliberate rhetorical injection into the world of mass mediated public discourse is nothing new. But the Bernanke-inspired "green shoots" meme came off as a particularly blatant and pathetic attempt to manipulate reality by manipulating public perception.
Since Federal Reserve Chairman Ben S. Bernanke first uttered the words almost four months ago to describe signs of a thaw in frozen credit markets, instances of the botanical metaphor in the press have climbed sevenfold. A Google search for "green shoots" returns 4.86 million hits.
Various sensible observers have recognized and said all along that the purported grounds for economic optimism were greatly exaggerated. Now, over the past week or so, in light of ongoing and worse-than-expected job loss plus various other negative indicators — such as the looming disaster in the commercial real estate market and the utter failure of American consumers to "lead the recovery" by getting out and spending more — attempts at optimism are withering and widespread doubt is being expressed about the efficacy of Obama's recovery plan.
Amidst all of this, I'm perceiving a significant shift in mainstream media coverage of our economic plight. For the past year the mainstream media have appeared positively panicked as they've scrambled to catch up with what everybody else already knew: that things are dire. The collective tone of all the TV, magazine, and Web reports has felt frenetic, hyped, and overblown. But now all of that craziness seems to be clearing, and what we're left with are fairly, and admirably, sober assessments of where we realistically stand.
A nice summary statement of the situation is provided by popular financial writer Martin D. Weiss, Ph.D., in a July 6 post at his Money and Markets website. It's titled "The Great Lie of 2009." I'll give you three guesses what that great lie is. Please read the following, noting as you do so that it paints a grim enough picture in purely financial and economic terms, without even factoring in the peak fossil fuel situation, which actually caused the economic crisis (pdf). And then accept my good-luck wish for you as this situation gets even more, to put it obliquely, interesting.
Just as the authorities were touting the "end of the financial crisis," all heck has broken loose again.
We have a new surge in unemployment, and even without counting those who are excluded from the official numbers, 14.7 million are now jobless, the most since records dating back to 1948. Worse, for the first time since the Great Depression, every single job created after the prior recession has been wiped out.
We have industrial production falling at the same pace as it did in the early 1930s. . . and global trade falling at twice the pace of the early 1930s.
We have California — the nation's most populous state, with the largest GDP and the greatest impact on the entire U.S. economy — collapsing.
We have consumers slashing their spending, small businesses laying off their workers, cities and states forced to gut their budgets.
We see the most radical government countermeasures in a 100 years, the biggest federal deficits in 200 years, plus the swiftest swings — from greed to fear and fear to greed — ever.
On March 15, Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke told CBS News' "60 Minutes" that he detected "green shoots" in the economy. And every day since, economic soothsayers have been surveying the landscape, sifting through crops of weeds, trying to find those green shoots. But from the very outset, editors Claus Vogt, Mike Larson and I have told you this is not a garden-variety recession. It's merely the first phase of a far longer, deeper depression.
And now, just within the past few days, the myth of "green shoots" has been shattered, the reality of the still-sinking economy revealed.

Another good post. Thanks, Matt.
Enigmatic Winter — Like you, I find that my fed-up-ness at the incessant twisting and spinning of the truth (the latter being worse than the former, since it's so insidious) by government and media is reaching terminal velocity. As for your ongoing skepticism about global warming, obviously, we're all at the mercy of the things we see, read, and hear through our collective media-based sensory system when it comes to things like this, and yes, it's quite possible for the near-total embrace of belief in human-caused climate change among mainstream pundits, politicians, and scientists to represent a case of fundamentalist zeal and trend-of-the-moment brainwashing. But I urge you — strongly — to consider the equally real possibility that the overwhelming majority of climate change skeptics are no less slanted in their views and motivations, and that they, no less than the climate change believers and pushers whom you scorn, speak and write from thoroughly manipulative, ideologically-based based motivations. Climate change denial, rather like the 9/11 truth movement, has become its own partisan, parochial, ideological mini-industry of gleeful conspiracy theorists. Both may offer some valuable insights, and both deserve to be heard. But both are composed of "true believers" who really want to add you to their zombie-horde numbers, and both are helmed by a punditry who really don't hold the objective, impartial consideration of truth as their primary value.
Glen — Thanks for the positive feedback.
Thanks for the post, Matt. Robert Reich adds in a recent article that the reason why there will never be a recovery is that 70 percent of the U.S. economy is based on consumer spending. Similar problems apply to countries whose exports and overseas work are dependent on the same.
As for global warming, you are definitely right. Global warming denialism is a waste of time because it assumes business as usual, which won't happen anyway given peak oil and an economic crisis.

If you are a true gaming enthusiast, you should probably consider building a gaming PC. Most gamers don't prefer playing on consoles because it fails to capture the true potential of the game. You can't tweak the graphical settings of the game while playing on a console and you can't install any mods. Most importantly, games on consoles run at a pre-defined rate. In most cases, games run at 30 frames per second on consoles. On the PC, it's a whole different story. If you have a powerful build, you can run almost every game at 60 frames per second, which is a marked improvement over console games.
There's no limit to the amount of money that you can spend while building a gaming PC. Some graphics cards can cost you over a thousand pounds or more. You obviously don't need to spend this much on a graphics card, especially when considering the modern requirements of most games. Before you go out to buy components for your gaming PC, make sure you set a budget. Decide how much money you are going to spend on the gaming PC. If you are strapped for cash, you should consider buying used components for your PC.
You don't need an overly powerful processor or a lot of RAM to run most games these days. What you do need is a very powerful graphics card. At least 40% of your budget should be allocated to buying a powerful graphics card. Companies such as NVidia and AMD Radeon are big players in the market, and both of these giants have a number of different cards out there. Whether you are willing to spend a thousand pounds or more, look for a very powerful graphics card. This will help you support the latest releases and play at the maximum frame rates.
Did you know that you can create your own gaming PC at www.chillblast.com? This is a website that allows you to select what components you want to put into your PC before shipping them off to you. You don't have to spend a lot of time going to different vendors and buying each component separately. Instead, you can just sit in the comfort of your own home and build your PC on the screen by deciding what you want. In the end, you will be shown a total on the screen. You can then checkout and pay online as well!

Good Tuesday Morning, Donna Here!
I cut a window and frame using the same Lacy Squares dies and added a sheet of Vellum. I also added a couple of Fancy Flourishes and a Poinsettia Cameo Cut. In the center I glued little golden beads.
Our Monthly Challenge, Bling On The Holidays, is open, why not use some of your own beautiful Great Impressions Stamps and play along? Don't forget to upload your GI creations to our Customer Gallery.
Oh, wow...this is super pretty! Great card!
Donna, this is wonderful! Love it! Thanks for sharing!
How beautiful! Love that gorgeous poinsettia with the tiny beaded center!


From the wintery depths of northern Finland come Killmosphere, a band playing groove melodic thrash & death metal. Despite having a few tracks online, there's not much information on the band themselves.
As such, I'll just have to point you at the music and let the heavy riffage and face-melting vocals speak for themselves. Killmosphere are heavy as a big pile of bricks, but with a groove element that makes them very easy to get into. The faster tracks remind me more of Pantera on full tilt, the slower ones more of Texas Hippie Coalition (or, indeed, Line of Fire).
Definitely worth a listen and a "link" on the facebook.

Q: Ember model reloading in interval I have a User model, which has latitude and longitude properties, which are used to show current user location on map.
App.User = DS.Model.extend({
    firstName: DS.attr('string'),
    lastName: DS.attr('string'),
    email: DS.attr('string'),
    jobs: DS.hasMany("App.Job"),
    latitude:   DS.attr('number'),
    longitude: DS.attr('number'),
    measuredAt: DS.attr('date'),
});

What is the best way to autoupdate latitude and longitude properties from server every given interval? Does ember-data support this kind of use case? I can't find any samples with this functionality. I think I will need to override find method for User class with setInterval in it, is this the right approach?
Thanks

A: EDIT: Please see Dmitri Zagidulin's answer.
So I figured it out. For now all I need was to override didLoad method on model, in future I will probably need more complex solution, but this is adequate for now.
didLoad: function(){
  var self = this;
  setInterval(function() {self.reload()}, 5*60*1000); //every 5 minutes
}

In case someone needs to reload more models, good solution would be to implement this as Mixin.

A: For those who are coming across this question now -- don't use setInterval, it's been shown to cause serious memory leaks.
Use Ember's own Ember.run.later instead.

Edit: Feb 3, 2019 - Update broken links.

A: The model has a .reload() method now, which you could use in a setInterval callback. See https://stackoverflow.com/a/14183507/363073

The Future of Sales Enablement Recently, the penetration of marketing automation and content marketing systems, methods and "factories" is confusing and stressing the sales force by introducing learning, recall and execution challenges. By providing "too much stuff" companies often reduce sales effectiveness as well growth rates. Here we explore multiple antidotes. We formalize the relationship between knowledge, proficiency, productivity, efficiency and effectiveness.
B2B Storytelling The scope, depth, and usage depends on the maturity of your company. Providing the origin of your commitment to the category and the value proposition with all the nuances of your context and emotion is often the best starting point for defining and refining your story. Once in place, many avenues of application and leverage lead to trust, acceptance, respect, trust and sales growth.
Building a Brand for Startups Starting with your origin (founder's story), you can dissect the ingredients of your value prop, the fit with target personas and aspects of trust and loyalty that are essential for sales success. This paves the way for defining the right trusted brand, with all the design, content, style, archetypal and messaging aspects to build the brand from the inside out.
CRM Reveal: Analytics for Improving Sales Growth Most CRM reporting is flat sorted lists and stupid little pie charts and graphs. These often miss the the mark of revealing detailed dimensional combinations of great success and abysmal failure. The combinations of org structure, product structure, use-case, region, timing, industry, role and rep: hide the true advantages and weaknesses you have. Once revealed, these unlock spectacular growth and inform changes to hiring, strategy, priorities and even changes in pricing, targeting, qualifying in and out prospects.
NLP for Optimal Sales Mindset NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming) for optimal sales mindset program allows your AEs, SDRs, BDRs, ODRs, and SE's tap into the other 90% of their brains to reveal EQ and other non-verbal techniques of overcoming resistance. Learn how to using communication, context and style cues to create appreciation, trust and allow reps to avoid the challenger-bulldog pitfalls to up-level your selling methodology.

Where can i buy weed free hay?
The purpose of the Idaho State Department of Agriculture (ISDA) Noxious Weed Free Forage and Straw (NWFF&S) Certification Program is to limit the introduction and spread of noxious weeds through forage and straw onto Idaho United States Forest Service (USFS) and Bureau of Land Management (BLM) lands. In addition, the NWFF&S certification program allows for the transportation and sale of certified Idaho forage and straw products into and through states and other boundaries where restrictions are placed on such commodities.
An example of such restrictions include the U.S. Forest Service requirement (Weed Free Hay Order) and Bureau of Land Management (BLM) that forage used on Idaho USFS and BLM lands be certified as noxious weed free, and fire rehabilitation or roadside maintenance contracts requiring the use of noxious weed free straw or mulch. Once a person enters Idaho USFS and BLM lands, a person cannot possess any non-certified forage, straw or mulch. Baled or compressed hay and forage (hay) cubes are considered forage. Possessing non-certified forage, straw or mulch on these Idaho public lands is subject to penalty.
The following products meet the Idaho USFS and BLM NWFF&S requirements: State Certified Noxious Weed Free Hay, Cubes, and Straw. Pelletized feed meets the Idaho USFS requirements; it is not required to be certified, because the pelletizing process (heat) destroys seed viability. ISDA recommends pre-feeding your animals State Certified Noxious Weed-Free Forage (hay or cubes) or pellets 48 hours prior to entering these public lands. It is also suggested before leaving home, to thoroughly brush and clean hooves to remove potential seeds from your animals.
ISDA is a member of a voluntary national organization called the North American Invasive Species Management Association (NAISMA) http://www.naisma.org/ and has incorporated its forage and straw inspection procedures, called the North American Weed Free Forage Program into the NWFF&S Rules. The purpose of this organization is to set minimum requirements for uniform participation of the various states in the program. There are currently 22 states that participate. Neighboring states of Idaho that are NAISMA members include: Montana, Nevada, Oregon, Washington, and Wyoming.
The ISDA NWFFS program has two standards of certification; however, they follow the same inspection procedures with the exception that they inspect the fields for different noxious weed lists. The first standard is the Idaho State Noxious Weed Free Standard (commonly known as the Idaho Standard). The Idaho Standard noxious weed list is the 67 State noxious weeds. The second standard is the North American Standard (noxious weeds on the North American list plus noxious weeds on the Idaho Standard, for a total of 85 noxious weeds).
If a field is inspected and no noxious weeds were found that are listed on either standard, the field is certified to the North American Standard. If a field is inspected and contains North American noxious weeds, but does not contain noxious weeds on the Idaho Standard list, it may be certified to the Idaho Standard. Approximately 90% of the forage and straw inspected in Idaho is certified to the North American Standard. State certified forage cubes, pellets, and compressed forage bales are certified only to the North American Standard.
The advantage of North American Standard certified products is they can be shipped to neighboring NAISMA states that only recognize that standard. The Idaho Standard certified hay and straw meets the Idaho USFS and BLM NWFFS requirements, however, it may not be accepted by neighboring states.
To help growers meet these requirements, the ISDA has promulgated the NWFF&S Certification Rules. Idaho's program is managed by ISDA and each county.
For a field to be certified noxious weed free, it must be inspected by an ISDA certified inspector prior to harvest, but no sooner than, ten (10) days BEFORE harvest. There is a fee for the inspection.

Importance to Brazil
The investment in the new generation of satellites, which includes Star One C1, Star One C2, Star One C3 and Star One C12 (currently in operation), and the future satellites Star One C4 and Star One D1, shows Embratel Group confidence in Latin America's future, and renews its commitment to provide highly reliable services, especially for the transmission of television signals from the major TV stations.
Agende sua Transmissão Ocasional.
Today, more than 25 million households receive TV signals from the Star One C2 satellite, contributing to the culture and entertainment of the Brazilian people.
Embratel Star One has invested in state-of-the-art technology for its satellites. Moreover, the company invests in the control of the services provided at Guaratiba Teleport, the primary satellite control center in Latin America.
Television is one of the most important media in Latin America and always had a strong integrative role, being an agent of culture and entertainment. With a strong popular penetration, more than 90% of the Brazilian households receive information and integrate to the Brazilian context through the television. In some locations, this is the only media available.
The Embratel Star One satellites have always contributed to bring to all Brazilian towns the signals from major television stations, with the same quality as received in major capitals. The new Star One satellites will allow the same quality to be achieved in all countries inside their coverage.
12 years of Digital TV
Although the land-based digital TV system is been defined recently, the satellite-based TV has been digitally broadcast for over ten years in the region. With a number of techniques for audio and video signal digitalization and compression, the TV stations, distance learning, and other companies interested in video transmission leverage the Embratel Star One satellites to broadcast their Digital TV signals.
The land-based digital TV is a technology evolution from Analog TV that provides increased video and audio quality, increased supply of programs, and the possibility of new services and applications. Here, contributing to the Land-Based Digital TV, Embratel Star One satellites are essential for broadcasters and its affiliates to be able to build their Land-Based Digital TV networks.
Optimal Infrastructure for HDTV
HDTV (High Definition Television) provides improved resolution and technical specifications, which bring to end users a movie theater-quality TV. TV stations currently broadcast their HDTV signals, whether satellite or land-based.
The Embratel Star One satellites provide the optimal infrastructure for satellite-based HDTV broadcasting, thus bringing HDTV to all regions within their coverage.

Traffic control functions of the Transport Agency to be incorporated
News article 14.06.2017 15.15 fi sv en
As of 1 January 2019, the traffic control functions in the road, maritime and rail transport sectors that are currently the responsibility of the Transport Agency will be incorporated into a state-owned limited company. At its meeting on 13 June 2016, the Government's Ministerial Committee on Economic Policy decided that the traffic control functions of the Transport Agency will be incorporated. The ownership steering of the special assignment company wholly owned by the state will be the responsibility of the Ministry of Transport and Communications.
In future, the Transport Agency will acquire traffic control services from the new company. The relationship between the Transport Agency and Finrail Oy, which is already in charge of traffic control on railways, will also be clarified.
The incorporation of the traffic control functions is part of preparations for changes brought about by digitalisation, the growing role of services, automation and the increasing importance of information and data. It also lays the groundwork for improving customer-orientation.

A log home comes with concerns that a new owner may need to be aware of before making the purchase. There are some inspections that you should conduct prior to making an offer that can save you hassle later. Here are some of the details that you should concern yourself with during the inspection process.
The exterior of any type of home is important, but a log home comes with tighter restrictions. There are lots of factors that will need to be inspected to ensure the integrity of your home. This includes the staining on the logs, the condition of the chinking, and any shrinkage that may be present. Faded stain could mean that the logs are rotting. Another detail that you'll want to consider is the shrinkage and chinking between the joints.
Water invading a home can spell disaster. It's even more destructive to a log home because the entire structure is likely comprised of wood. Moisture could be seeping up from the bottom of the log house and causing the exterior to appear a different color than the rest of it. Another detail that you'll need to take into account is how much space there is between the ground and the rest of the structure. Being too close to the ground could be causing additional moisture to leach into the wood.
Plumbing is another important detail when it comes to your log home. If you aren't connected to a city water supply, you likely have a septic tank. Ensuring that you check that this system is functioning correctly is imperative. Septic tank drain field repair is necessary so that you don't experience sewage getting backed up into your home. Check that your drain field is in good condition and tackle this task like a football player if it becomes necessary.
Your only source of heating may be your fireplace. This means that it becomes essential to maintaining the comfort of your log home. Check to ensure that the fireplace can properly vent and that the heat will be circulated around your home. Installing a fan insert will help with circulation. Another thing to consider is having the fireplace flue cleaned out regularly so that you don't experience a chimney fire.
A log home is special and unique because there are other details that you'll need to take into account in order to keep it maintained. Use these tips so that you can purchase a log home without having to worry about any surprises lurking in the walls.


In 2009, Matthew Cooper and I were commissioned by agency Soon In Tokyo to create 56 animated gifs for a new campaign advertising the Barcelona-based design college Elisava. Using these, the agency created an interactive website, where visitors could add their own gifs to the website by either uploading their own files or creating a gif using their webcam.
The idea behind the campaign is that being a designer - rather than being glamourous, fashionable and artistic - is in fact frustrating, time-consuming and very, very, very hard work.
