No matter how the traditions and work etiquette have changed over the years, proper protocols and attitudes in the workplace determine the atmosphere for all organizations. Experts say that behavior leaves a long-lasting impression on everyone including your clients, boss, colleagues, and vendors. Proper etiquette helps to develop authentic relationships with a lasting and positive impact. However, on the other side, poor protocols can damage the relations and reputation of your company as well.
No matter how close a relationship you have with your colleagues, there is no point in interfering with their personal or even professional life. Also, if you share a desk; never touch or sort through their email, paperwork, mail or any other document belonging to them.
Most people have a common trait; we borrow pens from those around us. The sad truth is that we never return them. Well! Others are not too worried about this bad habit. Instead, they feel more annoyed when someone takes his or her things without permission. Moreover, it is not just about a pen. Your colleagues prefer to be genuinely asked to borrow something.
Even in your busiest moment, show respect by wishing your peers a good day.
When you are at the office, mind your style and tone. Your words should not hurt other's faith, beliefs, and morals. We should always utilize active listening with our peers as we would with our callers. Do not use offensive words or demeaning phrases; be respectful to other's emotions.
No matter how excited or angry you are, when you are in the office, it is essential to balance your voice to lower volume range. Do not distract others with your discussions otherwise; you risk the loss of respect in the workplace and among your friends as well. It is the rule of thumb to be calm and responsible for respectful employment.
Pay attention to the appearance of your desk. Make efforts to keep it clean and well managed all the time. It will help you to stay focused on your work and will also enhance overall productivity with a good mood.

Q: react router race condition I've a react-router-dom and redux. My scenario is quite simple:
1) If the user doesn't have token redirect to login
2) Otherwise go to dashboard.
The problem is that the redux check for the token (in the local-storage) arrive a bit later so whatever I do I got redirect to login.This is my
code:
const AsyncAuth = asyncComponent(() => import('containers/Auth/Auth'));
const AsyncDashboard = asyncComponent(() => import('containers/Dashboard/Dashboard'));
interface IProps {
  autoSignIn: () => void;
  isAuthenticated: boolean;
}
class App extends React.Component<IProps, {}> {

  public componentDidMount() {
    this.props.autoSignIn();
  }

  public render() {
    return (
      <div>
        <Switch>
          <Route path="/auth" component={AsyncAuth} />
          {this.props.isAuthenticated && <Route path="/dashboard" component={AsyncDashboard} />}
          <Redirect to="/auth" />
        </Switch>
      </div>
    );
  }
}

const mapStateToProps = (state: any) => ({
  isAuthenticated: state.auth.idToken !== null
});

const mapDispatchToProps = (dispatch: any) => ({
  autoSignIn: () => dispatch(authAutoSignIn())
});

export default connect(mapStateToProps, mapDispatchToProps)(App);

A: You didn't post the redux code but I assume your autoSignIn action creator performs an async action. What you could do is in the reducer for state.auth keep some state like triedAutoLogin: false.
Whenever your async login action resolves (either successfully/unsuccessfully) you can update triedAutoLogin: true. Then include that in your mapStateToProps and render the <Route /> and <Redirect /> component conditionally based on both.

A: A common pattern when working with redux-thunk (and Flux Standard Actions) is to have a requestStatus property.
It's usually for HTTP request, you'd have NotStarted, 'Initiated', 'Success', and 'Failed'.
You can apply a similar style to your Redux.
You can have an authCheckStatus property, with the same values.
And in the component, instead of rendering the router, you render something else (nothing, if the check is fast enough), when authCheckStatus is not Success.
That would be separate from the idToken itself.

one is design and the other is color.While raising sales order its asking the characteristics after selecting values in both characteristics when u see conditions its dislplaying only the first variant pricing its not showin the second characteristic price.

If yes come back and explain ur issue more clearly.


Staight-up endurance that spells real economy and value. Sure, you might find cheaper wood fencing supplies at some of those other companies, but your customers would pay a lot more in the long run. Inferior-grade wood fences won't stand up to wear and tear, year after year, like true Jasper Lodgepole Pine products will. Season after season, your customers get the kind of straight-up endurance that spells real economy and value.
We ship what we sell. Unlike any other supplier we know, we have our own fleet of trucks. That allows us to maintain strict control over our wood fencing products from the forest to your door, which means you get what you ordered every time. Plus, there's less chance of damaged goods and missing shipments. Less time spent tracking orders. Fewer returns. On-time deliveries. Plus, the best lodgepole pine wood fencing products available. What other supplier offers you all that?
It's all about trust. Your customers look to you for advice about their fencing needs. They rely on you to deliver the best product for the best price. At Jasper, we understand the value of that trust, and we're here to support you with the best agricultural wood fencing and lodgepole pine products available anywhere. We have established our own mills and trucking companies so we can keep a close eye on every piece of wood we offer. We maintain the strictest quality control all along the line, so you can offer Jasper Lodgepole Pine products to your customers with confidence. That's real value added.

Q: Hibernate and Servlets I'm developing a web-app and I want to retrieve data from the database and send them to the homepage.I thought to set the servlet as my welcome page,retrieve my data from the database,redirect to the homepage and pass my data as parameters.Any better ideas?

A: Implement doGet() method, set the data as request attribute and forward the request to the JSP. Assuming that you want to display some list in a table in JSP:
protected void doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException, IOException {
    List<Entity> entities = entityDAO.list();
    request.setAttribute("entities", entities); // Will be available as ${entities} in JSP.
    request.getRequestDispatcher("/WEB-INF/home.jsp").forward(request, response);
}

Map this servlet on an url-pattern of /home so that you can execute it by http://example.com/context/home and have in JSP something like this:

    <c:forEach items="${entities}" var="entity">

            ${entity.id}
            ${entity.name}
            ${entity.value}

    </c:forEach>

This will display the list of entities in a table.

*Beginning and intermediate JSP/Servlet tutorials

A: An idea:
create a tag in a taglib that fetches your data from your backend/bussiness and use it a jsp.
if the data is always the same, consider caching it.
another option, use a framework like Spring MVC, Struts2, Play! Framework ...

With Its $51M Open, Stephen King's 'It' Is An Old-Fashioned Monster Hit
Rob Cain Former Contributor
Bill Skarsgård plays the clown villain Pennywise in 'It'
Warner Bros Entertainment
Just by chance you crossed the diamond with the pearl
You turned it on the world
That's when you turned the world around
— Steely Dan
With Stephen King's It, Warner Bros. and its subsidiary New Line Cinema have pulled off a major feat of alchemy, combining the elements of IP, talent, brand name, timing and marketing in all the right ways to score a staggering $51 million opening on Friday (including $13.5 million in late Thursday previews).
That first-day result has already beaten the previous record of $48.5 million for a September opening that was set by Sony Pictures' Hotel Transylvania 2 over a full three days in 2015.
The $51 million figure also places It just behind Paranormal Activity 3 as the second biggest R-rated horror opener ever, with two more days to surpass the latter film's three-day debut weekend total. By the time the weekend is over, It will have probably doubled Paranormal Activity's six-year-old record.
Despite the challenges of a major hurricane shuttering hundreds of theaters in Florida, and the NFL's season-opening games cutting into the Sunday grosses, It is now set to take in around $105 million in its debut weekend. Even if the picture follows the traditional pattern of a robust Friday followed by a rapid theatrical burn off—and I don't think it will—it's still hard to see any way it would fail to reach the $100 million threshold by Sunday night, given the spectacular start.
With the movie's budget coming in at a skinny $35 million, it will be just a matter of days before It crosses the breakeven line into black ink territory. That will mark another in a recent string of fine accomplishments for Warner Bros, which has enjoyed a bounteous run lately with hits like Wonder Woman and Dunkirk. Those films were both critical and commercial successes, and It has already established itself as a winner on both of those fronts as well.
The picture couldn't have arrived at a better time for the U.S. movie exhibition business, which has just suffered through its worst summer in a decade-and-a-half and probably the worst August that it has ever seen. The new Warners horror pic has blown past industry expectations, which had pegged its opening frame at estimates ranging from $60 million to $80 million.
It won't be the leggiest wide release horror film by a long shot—that honor belongs to The Sixth Sense, which earned more than 36 times its opening day total of $8 million for a final domestic gross of $293 million—but I expect it will see a better second weekend hold than the typical horror picture. That's because the Stephen King adaptation has reached a far broader audience than most films in its genre ever do, and because its excellent reviews and strong word-of-mouth will continue to reel in moviegoers outside the traditional horror audience.
Hurricane Irma and the NFL's big Sunday games may dampen this opening weekend's grosses a bit, but many of those fans who miss It this weekend will surely come around soon to pump up next weekend's collections.

Q: Do OpenJPA and/or Hibernate support variable relationships like EclipseLink does? I am using Felix OSGi framework, where EclipseLink dynamic weaving isn't supported, so I'd prefer to use OpenJPA (or possibly Hibernate). However, one feature I need in a couple of places is variable one-to-many relationships, where one entity refers to a collection of entities of different classes (which share the same superclass). Is this supported by other providers? The link only mentions EclipseLink, but it may not be up-to-date.

A: DataNucleus JPA (and JDO) supports relations using interfaces, abstract classes etc, since that is part of the JDO spec (but not the JPA spec).
Don't expect the wikibooks page(s) to reflect what other implementations provide since it was written AFAIK by Oracle members who, naturally, will include what they know about. The pages are very good for general spec-based JPA info, but you should always look at the docs for the individual implementations for details of what they provide as vendor extensions. The pages also don't make it always so clear what is and isn't part of the spec or a vendor extension.

CanRehab Summer Blog
As we come to the end of August we thought it was time to update you on our last few months. We've been working on some projects as CanRehab goes international (and we'll let you know more about that soon!), and here is a round up of positive vibes from the summer:
Joe Wicks
At the beginning of August, Professor Campbell took part in "PE with Joe" at Scone Palace and was delighted to meet Joe who was very enthusiastic about the work CanRehab is doing.
Joe is a genuinely lovely person and so passionate about getting everyone active. By kindly promoting CanRehab training company he is helping us to support all fitness instructors and physios to be confident prescribing exercise to cancer patients.
Below is a copy of the video he posted to his 4.5 million followers, which you can view on our Instagram!
Former Student News
Our lovely former student Rebecca Miller sent us a letter saying how much of a positive influence undertaking the CanRehab training has been, not only for developing her business but for the confidence it gave her to help others. We were so pleased to hear about her recent work, including leading a team at the Cancer Research UK Relay for Life. She said:
"Our team is called Seahorse Fitness (Rebecca's PT business), made up of clients, helpers, and some of the Macmillan Move More participants. On the 25th of June, we took part in Relay for Life – Dunbar. It was the first time the event has taken place in our little town and we hope to make it an annual event – fighting cancer every step. It was a super event and very inclusive. To celebrate, we had a team barbecue at ours a few weeks ago and again, it was great to see so many people together.
Elaine Lennon is the local organiser and a total power house within the community. She worked tirelessly to rally the groups and keep us all motivated. So far the total raised for CancerResearch is over £62k. Pretty amazing."
If you have news you'd like to share with us, please feel free to email pjcreilly@icloud.com or tag us on social media – we are always happy to share stories and updates from our CanRehab past and present students.
New courses – new funding opportunities
We are very pleased to share the Retrain to Retain scheme – an initiative by CIMSPA funded by SportEngland. Anyone in England who wishes to undertake the CanRehab course can look to see if they're eligible for funding through the Retrain to Retain Scheme which has been "designed to support everyone working in sport and physical activity in England". Selected individuals will have 100% of their CanRehab course costs covered. If you live in England and have had your work impacted by Covid-19, you may be eligible. See the website for more details on the eligibility criteria.
We've also added a specialist course for physiotherapists, running from October 1st until October 8th. All of our course dates for the rest of 2022 can be seen on our website.

Home Caregiver Training Geriatric Care Dealing with a Senior's State of Denial Is a Caregiver's Challenge
Dealing with a Senior's State of Denial Is a Caregiver's Challenge
Debby Weiss wrote in The Huffington Post that she had a hard time forgiving herself for becoming angry and yelling at her dying husband. Beyond the many sources of anger that a caregiver may feel, this caregiver had to face the fact that her stoic husband was in denial about his illness. Despite being wheelchair-bound as his cancer progressed and having fallen several times, he would not admit that they might need outside help. He denied the severity of his illness even after his wife-caregiver showed him photos of his deteriorating back. One of his last acts before dying was to plead with her to not call 911.
Denial is not an uncommon response in life-threatening situations, as Elisabeth Kübler Ross has said. It is often the first response when an extremely uncommon thing happens, such as in the above case when a man under fifty learns he has cancer. Some people's response during the September 11th terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center was denial—even when they saw a plane slamming into a building outside their windows.
It may be an emotional shield that allows the person to absorb the news…
We almost want to scream at such people to get them to wake up and deal with what is happening. Yet denial is a way of dealing with it. It may be an emotional shield that allows the person to absorb the news, just as the body goes into shock upon intense injury to numb the pain and distance the person from the traumatic event. Humans can only bear so much, and they have physical and psychological back-up systems that insulate them from the worst. Denial is one of the insulating back-up systems.
In the case of the caregiving wife, she later realized that her husband's denial of the severity of his illness was so that he could live out his remaining time in a semblance of a normal life with her. He did not allow her to visit the hospital or speak to his doctors. Perhaps he was trying to treasure the little amount of time they had left together—of which he was aware and she was not.
In her book, The Unthinkable, Amada Ripley goes into detail about the story of 9/ll survivor Elia Zedeño, who spent much of the time during her escape from the Trade Center in denial. Even after the plane hit her building, she wanted to stay in her office.
Many people, the author writes, become lethargic and delay action when facing overwhelming events. Though dazed, Zedeño and most of the people going down the stairs were calm and unhurried. Even when the second plane hit, Zedeño refused to deal with the reality of terrorism, concentrating instead on getting down the stairs a step at a time. For a long time she had assumed that the plane hitting the building was an accident. Even when it became clear that the attack was deliberate, she put these thoughts out of her mind. It was more than she could deal with.
When she reached the ground floor, her mind took time to realize that she was seeing dead bodies not just debris. She experienced moments of blindness. When a woman took her arm to steer her to safety in a dazed condition, she could not remember the woman's features or those of the firemen and policemen she knew were present. Part of her mind shut down, making her blind to the overwhelming amount of distressing stimuli.
Denial can do us harm when we fail to take appropriate action because of it.
Denial can do us harm when we fail to take appropriate action because of it. Ripley notes that denial worked against persons who stayed in New Orleans during Hurricane Katrina even after mandatory evacuations were ordered.
Yet it can also work for us by helping us not face what we are not yet prepared to face, such as our mortality and the limitations of time on earth wrought by age and illness.
Kübler-Ross says of denial: "I regard it as healthy way of dealing with the uncomfortable and painful situation with which some of these patients have to live for a long time. Denial functions as a buffer against unexpected shocking news, allows the patient to collect himself and, with time, mobilize other, less radical defenses."
Denial has its place, maddening at it may be to those who see clearly that the person is not facing facts. In most cases, the patient actually knows deep inside what the real story is, whether or not a doctor has advised of the true physical state of affairs. Thus, Kubler-Ross counsels patience, and not to consider it "regression" when a person has progressed toward more acceptance but reverts to denial again. Caregivers should gently allow for the survival value—especially the psychological survival value of denial—and let the person progress naturally toward greater acceptance of reality.

A new MVNO is coming to the UK for December this year. The company's site refers to itself or possibly their members as 'giver-taker-talker-makers'. It seems that the service aims to bring people together to share and exchange in an effort to develop a network.
giffgaff will operate over O2's network and proposes to sell SIM cards online. The MVNO does not intend to offer handsets so members will have to buy one from another retailer or use an existing handset. The unique selling point will be its members' involvement with how the network operates. Their site states: "You'll get the opportunity to do loads (if you want to), from designing the marketing to recruiting new members – and we'll reward you for it." Members will also be able to "yik, yak and give back", a form of free credit we believe.
Apparently giffgaff is an old Scottish term for mutual giving, according to giffgaff.


This truly massive city is the capital of the Kingdom of Mondolin, the independent country of the Humans. The city itself is a architectural wonder, as despite being such a huge and intricate construction, the task of trying to conquer it is even more tricky and complicated. From the hugely impressive five-gate portal entrance, to the impossible number of siege machinery and defenses and impenetrable wall, and the sheer number of dedicated and expertly trained men and women that man these defenses, the city is truly an immovable object against the irresistible force of war.
The Silver Citadel is almost as much a work of art as it is a defensive structure. It was made with the sole purpose of demonstrating the skill and ambition of Mortal Men. Standing well above the city walls, this huge structure is made of an alloy which is magically made by combining normal stone and quicksilver to make a material that's nearly indestructible and gives the Silver Citadel its name with its magical sparkle in sunlight and moonlight. This impressive building is home to the King and Queen of Mondolin, as well as the command center for the rank and file military and the Knights of Mondolin, the elite military organisation.
The vast temperate plains that lie south of Mith Silvanus. A relatively tranquil land, a lot of horse ranches exist here, using the ample land to raise horses for the Mondolin mounted forces. The South Road from Mith Silvanus leads to the small city of Mith Verdanus. Heading further south brings you to the Manacus Desert. The River Undine travels southwards until it reaches Mith Verdanus at the center of the plains, then heads west towards the sea.
Sitting in the center of the Verdant Plains, on the point where the River Undine turns towards the sea, Mith Verdanus is a peaceful and vibrant city. Renowned for its skilled artisans and the quality of its agricultural services, Mith Verdanus is the center of art and food in the Kingdom of Mondolin. Under the watchful eye of Antonio Luna, the region's governor the city is a safe and pleasant retreat from the hustle and bustle of the capital.

The word geomorphology, arising from the Greek words for Earth, form and science, means the study of landforms composing a landscape, of their creation, evolution, and destruction, and of the processes that shape them. The Earth's surface is the meeting point of the solid earth and the atmosphere and provides the habitat for all life. As such, it is the stage on which a diverse multitude of natural processes interact to shape the environment for all socio-economic activity.

Q: Json.NET Uri (de)serialization errors I need to serialize and deserialize an object that contains an System.Uri property using the latest (4.0.3) Json.NET library.
The following code demonstrates the problem:
string input = "http://test.com/%22foo+bar%22";
Uri uri = new Uri(input);
string json = JsonConvert.SerializeObject(uri);
Uri output = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<Uri>(json);

The DeserializeObject method throws an JsonReaderException. This works fine with 4.0.2.
I've submitted an issue on codeplex with tests and patch to fix the issue, but it seems it takes a bit for the author to release a fixed version.
Meanwhile is there anything i can do ( using JsonSettings or anything else ) to make the latest version work as expected?
A few options i have so far:

*

*stick to 4.0.2 - new nuget packages depend on 4.0.3

*change uri to string - i rather go with option 1 and manually managed pkg dependencies

*use custom build with patch applied - this is what i'm doing now but i hate the idea of overriding the nuget package's assemblies.

A: You can write a helper class that circumvents the usual handling of System.Uri and treats it purely as a string, using the Uri.OriginalString property.
Here's a code sample that does exactly that with a converter class derived from Json.Net's JsonConverter.
OriginalString Property (System.Uri) @ MSDN
One caveat is that you must update all places where you use JsonConvert to include the helper class as one of the extra JsonConverter parameters.
I've also added an example using Uri as a member variable in a class, to demonstrate that one wouldn't necessarily have to override the attributes on a class, though it might be more convenient for you. If so, you could use [JsonConverter(UriConverter)] as an attribute on members that need it.

High temperature electrochemical devices, such as solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs), will play a vital role in the future green and sustainable energy industries due to direct utilization of carbon-based fuels and their ability to couple with renewable energies to convert by-products into valuable fuels using solid oxide electrolysis cells (SOECs). All-solid-state design provides a great opportunity toward the optimization of durability, cost, efficiency and robustness. Electrodes, one of the most important components that facilitate the electrochemical redox reactions, have been actively investigated for several decades to optimize a matrix of chemical composition, microstructure, and performance. Although some mixed ionic electronic conductors (MIECs) can provide electrochemically active surface with excellent chemical tolerance comparing to the composite electrodes made of conventional ceramic electrolyte and metal (cermet), their electrochemical activities may not be high enough to obtain a desirable power, even at moderate temperature operation. This shortage could be improved by engineering the microstructure of the electrodes, which control electrochemically active sites in SOFCs and SOECs. In this article, the current trends in electrode-engineering techniques for advanced SOFCs are reviewed.

Q: SAS TINV vs EXCEL TINV I am planning to convert an Excel code into SAS
There is a function called TINV used in Excel, and the same function is also in SAS with the same syntax, but I am getting two different results for the same  numbers. Please help me know if both are different functions or the same.
SAS:
TINV(0.95,2)

Result: 2.9199855804
Excel:
TINV(0.95,2)

Result : 0.070799

A: Although these functions appear to have the same syntax, they differ in how the arguments are interpreted. It looks as though SAS uses a 1-tailed test, and Excel uses a 2-tailed test, and also SAS follows the convention that probability is defined as 1-p rather than p.
So if in SAS you have tinv(0.95,2), the equivalent excel formula is actually tinv((1-0.95)*2,2).

Previous ArticleMeasuring the Impact of Whole-Body Computed Tomography on Hospital Length of Stay in Blunt Trauma
Next ArticleTransformation and Transformational Leadership:
We evaluated the effects of a streamlined emergency department (ED) policy for CT ordering, pre- and postimplementation, on the completed imaging study rates of all after-hours computed tomography (CT) studies. The study hypothesis was that a streamlined CT ordering process would increase the utilization rates of ED CT.
A prospective cohort study was used to estimate the effect of enhancing a preauthorization policy for after-hours CT studies requested through the ED, performed between January 1 and June 30, 2013, and the postimplementation period, performed between January 1 and June 30, 2014. Inclusion criteria were all CT chest, CT abdomen/pelvis, musculoskeletal, neurological, and neuroangiographic examinations performed by ED physicians on adult patients. Pre- and postintervention examination imaging study rates were compared.
The period following implementation of the preauthorization policy was associated with a statistically significant increase in utilization for most subtypes of CT examinations (CT chest, CT abdomen/pelvis, and musculoskeletal CT studies), with the exception of neurological examinations, which showed a significant decrease.
This study demonstrates a trend toward increased utilization of CT resources after implementation of an ED preauthorization policy with most study types showing significantly increased utilization. In the case of neurological examinations, a potential "substitution effect" was observed, whereby the rates of neuroangiographic studies showed a marked increase, offsetting the decrease in general neurological examinations performed. Departments considering implementation of preauthorization policies should weigh carefully the benefits of ED workflow efficiencies against the potential harms of increased CT use.

Two Men Arrested in Online Predator Sting in Rapid City
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE : Monday, April 29, 2013
PIERRE, S.D - Attorney General Marty Jackley announced today that local, state and federal law enforcement arrested two individuals over the weekend as a result of an online predator sting in Rapid City. Suspects responded to internet ads as part of the operation, which resulted in their arrests. Jacob Lee Jarrett, 28, Rapid City and Vincent Paul Vulpi, 49, Milwaukie, Oregon have been arrested and charged each with one count of solicitation of a minor, class 4 felony punishable by up to 10 years imprisonment and/or $20,000 fine. The arrests were a result of a sting operation where the suspects agreed to meet with a 14 year-old girl who was an undercover officer.
"Law enforcement intends to remain proactive with efforts to protect our children. I am extremely disappointed that Backpage.com and Craigslist are providing the means by which children are harmed without sufficient monitoring safeguards in place," said Jackley.
In September of 2011, Attorney General Jackley joined other state Attorney General's addressing Backpage.com's ongoing failure to effectively limit prostitution and sexual trafficking of its website. The link to the AG letter is listed below.
Jarrett and Vulpi are presumed innocent until such time as proven guilty.
Agencies that assisted in this operation were the Pennington County Sheriff's Office, Rapid City Police Department, FBI and the Division of Criminal Investigation. The efforts of this operation were coordinated with the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children.

STUDENTS BENEFIT FROM DAVID WEEKLEY HOMES BACK TO SCHOOL SUPPLY DRIVE
AUSTIN, TX (September 17, 2015): David Weekley Homes hosted a Back to School Supply Drive benefiting Helping Hand Home for Children, an organization that helps severely abused children.
"The school supply drive had a huge impact on our kids," said Jamie Lounsbury, education and intake manager at Helping Hand Home for Children. "Many of these children have never had their own school supplies, and they are so proud of their new backpacks and supplies."
Approximately 1,800 items valued at $2,965 were collected during the two-week drive that benefited 42 children. The organization also received a donation of $1,600 from the David Weekley Family Foundation. After collecting the donations, Team Members spent 10 hours sorting the supplies and delivering them to the organization to ensure the supplies would be distributed in time for the students to begin school with the tools needed to be successful.
"Donating school supplies to make sure these children were ready and excited for the new school year was a treat for us," said Melina Kane, a senior estimator at David Weekley Homes. "We have enjoyed a strong partnership with Helping Hand Home for Children for many years, and we always receive a positive response from our team members."
The drive was an initiative of the company's CARE program, which is a charitable and volunteer program that partners Team Members with homeowners, homebuyers and community partners with nonprofits to make a positive impact in the lives of everyone it touches and in all the communities it builds through its purpose, Building Dreams, Enhancing Lives. This is accomplished by company team members volunteering countless hours to different organizations in their communities and by the David Weekley Family Foundation donating more than $100 million to a variety of organizations through the U.S. and abroad over the past 20 years.

Police have this morning (Thursday) confirmed a Latvian builder from Ealing who went missing a week after Alice Gross is officially being treated as a suspect in her disappearance.
A reward of £20,000 has also been offered to anyone who provides information which leads to Alice being found.
More CCTV footage has also been released showing 41-year-old Arnis Zalkalns - a convicted murder in his native Latvia - cycling along the towpath of the Grand Union Canal at Brentford Lock at 4pm on Thursday August 28 - only 15 minutes after 14-year-old Alice from Hanwell walked past.
Detectives believe he is likely to have come across Alice as they were both going in the same direction, north along the canal towpath. What, if anything, happened when they encountered is now one of the focuses of the investigation.
Since Arnis Zalkalns was last seen at his home in Ealing on the evening of Wednesday, September 3 he has not accessed his bank account or used his mobile phone. His passport was left at his house.
Friends and family of Arnis have told police that his disappearance is completely out of character, they are very concerned for him.
Detective Superintendent Carl Mehta, from the Homicide and Major Crime Command, said: "I want the public's help. On Thursday 28 August Arnis Zalkalns left work, in Isleworth, at about 3.30pm on his bike. Did you see him that afternoon? Either on his own, or with a teenage girl?
"I also need to hear from anyone who knew Arnis whom we have not yet spoken to. His family and work colleagues have stated he was behaving normally in both the days before and after Alice's disappearance. They are deeply concerned about his disappearance.
"Arnis has not been seen since Wednesday 3 September. I want anyone who may have seen him after that date, or who may have helped him by giving him money or somewhere to stay, to call and speak to us. It is really important that we trace Arnis and speak to him about Alice's disappearance.
"Three weeks ago today Alice left home as usual. She has not been seen since 4.26pm, when she walked along Trumpers Way. So far the public have given us great support, but there may still be people out there who were walking in the area Alice was on that Thursday who have not yet spoken to us. If you were and you saw anything that could help progress our investigation - please call.
"Alice used social networking sites, Facebook, Twitter and Ask.fm. I'm asking anyone who may have been talking to Alice on these sites in the run up to the day she disappeared to speak to us."
So far the investigation has found no evidence to say that Alice and Arnis knew each other.
Police have carried out extensive searches in the areas that Alice was last seen. These continue, with an expanding search area.
Alice is white, 5 ft 2 ins tall and of very slim build with shoulder-length, light brown hair. When she left home that day she was wearing dark blue jeans and a grey top, and tartan framed glasses. She was carrying a dark rucksack, and wearing denim blue 'Vans' shoes, these shoes were in her rucksack when it was found by police on 2 September.
Arnis Zalkalns is white, 5ft 10ins, stocky build with dark brown hair, that he normally wears tied in a pony tail. He normally cycles to work, and rides a red Trek Mountain Bike and a racing bike.
Anyone with any information is asked to contact the investigation team on 020 8358 0100, or call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.

CSKA Moscow survived Zalgiris Kaunas in OT thriller, remained on top
Yiannis Bouranis
Nov 22, 2018 2:47
Thanks to a pair of free throws by Will Clyburn, CSKA Moscow stood tall and defeated Zalgiris Kaunas at home in an overtime thriller (99-97).
Although the Lithuanians had control of the game from the opening tip and were in front by nine, with three minutes to go (71-80), the Muscovites went on a 15-6 run and tied the game, thanks to a three-pointer by Sergio Rodriguez, to force an overtime (86-86).
In the extra period, things didn't change much (97-97), but two free throws by Clyburn were enough to give the win to the "Bear".
Rodriguez (24 points, 6/10 from beyond the arc, six assists), Cory Higgins (23 points) and Clyburn (15 points, 13 rebounds) were the best players for the winners.
On the other hand, five players scored in double figures for the losing squad, as Antanas Kavaliauskas had 19 points and eight boards and Nate Wolters posted 14 points and nine assists.
CSKA Moscow maintained its perfect record (8-0), whereas Zalgiris Kaunas lost for the fifth time in the season (3-5).

Building a Sales Team Starts With the First Impression
By Heather O'Neill
Being successful in a sales career is about much more than being persuasive. It is about strategy and skill and having a clear vision of the company's future. But how does a company build a successful sales team?
Experts say look at a candidate's appearance when hiring and pay attention to your initial reaction. Once they're on the team, train, train, and train some more.
It is a mistake to rely solely on personality when hiring sales professionals, says Dirk Gorman, a founding partner of consulting group Become Capable Today, which helps organizations build sales cultures. It is about the whole package, beginning with the candidate's appearance during a face-to-face interview.
Gorman, who also is a founding partner of the Belle Harbor, New York-based medical device distributor Empire Surgical Products, does all of his own hiring, eschewing the use of executive search companies in favor of doing the interviewing internally.
Gorman says he looks for candidates who embody the culture of his company. The candidate must dress professionally, he said, which in his business means wearing a suit.
Looking the part inspires confidence in customers and projects an air of professionalism, he says, but adds that in other industries, different styles of dress would be more appropriate. Apple Inc. is an example of a company whose employees' attire perfectly projects the company's culture and the spirit of its products, he says.
"If you look at Apple's retail stores, the sales team has the look and feel of Apple," Gorman said. "They are average people who are incredibly excited about the products. They aren't dressed especially nicely but their uniforms are clean and simple, just like the products."
Job hopefuls also must be able to make engaging eye contact and tell a captivating story, he said. Gorman believes it is crucial that a candidate be able not just to lay out their past accomplishments but show that they had a rational decision-making process for important moments in their life—for example, why they selected the college they attended or made a job change.
"It is important that you—the hiring manager—enjoy listening to the candidate," he said.
Woody Staub has 25 years of experience in medical device sales and is now president of his own company, CMJ Medical, which has offices in Pittsburgh, Philadelphia and Washington, D.C. He also is a believer in the power of the first impression.
"My first impression during a job interview is going to be the customer's first impression," Staub said. "Candidates need to be someone that you would want to do business with. While we have great products, more and more in this economic environment people do business with people they really trust and like. That is the first hurdle."
Staub also looks for consistency on a résumé—no large gaps in employment—and for examples of obstacles the candidate had to overcome in the past. Gorman also looks for candidates who have shown resolve in past commitments, considering all notable accomplishments, not just past work experience.
"When I look for experience, I look for experience in achievement and not just in the workplace," he said. "There is a reason that a lot of salespeople are former athletes, both male and female. They demonstrated that not only could they achieve on a high level athletically, but they could achieve at a high level in the classroom.
"You hit some obstacles that could possibly have derailed you and you obviously figured out how to overcome those."
Achievement could also come from work with a church or charity, or from leadership shown in clubs and organizations.
"Work experience isn't the be-all, end-all," Gorman said. "I do not believe that just because a person has three- to five years' sales experience that makes them a good salesperson. Being a 'people person' is not enough. Sales is a strategy, sales requires an unbelievable amount of determination and preparation."
For the right candidate, both Gorman and Staub say they are willing to take a chance on hiring a recent graduate with little work experience.
"I will consider someone right out of school. I like training folks from the beginning—my way," Staub said. "If you find people with the right attitude, the right cognitive ability and a track record of success in high school and college, with the right kind of training you can really do well with some young reps. Put it this way: They don't have any good habits yet but they don't have any bad ones either."
For Carla Anderson, founder of the executive sales search firm C. Anderson Associates based in St. Paul, Minnesota, past work experience is necessary, as are what she calls the "soft skills" of sales, like being assertive, confident and a strong problem-solver.
"At the level we are making placements, experience is crucial," she said. "I need to know that a candidate has the skills necessary to seek out new business and that they will be able to pull a prospect through the sales process."
According to research done by the Aberdeen Group, despite the recent economic downturn, sales training has emerged as an imperative expense for companies seeking to be competitive. Since 2009, Aberdeen's studies have found an increased focus on regular sales training. In a survey of 970 organizations published this year, Aberdeen discovered that 707 utilize sales training. Of those, 91 percent rely on instructor-led training as their primary modality and 85 percent have defined competencies for each sales role.
Gorman agrees that training is a crucial part of building an elite sales team. His company takes it a step further than instructor-led training classes, employing instead a continuous training model. Gorman's company has developed a smartphone training app called PEPPER, which stands for professional excellence, peak performance, elite results.
The app generates problems or obstacles that might be encountered in the field. Every morning employees receive a new problem and they are required to solve it on the spot. Their responses are shared with the entire company via an internal site, which serves double duty as both a collaborative sales communication tool and a ranking review system. The software, according to Gorman, both allows individuals to improve their sales skills and creates a collaborative environment in which salespeople can learn from one another's successes and failures.
"We are of the firm belief that practice makes perfect," Gorman said. "We believe that the deliberate practice of sales—just like in golf or any other skill—is the key to a strong sales team. We treat sales like a serious skill that needs to be honed," Gorman said. "The biggest mistake I see in sales teams is not training on a regular basis. They are too confident in their ability to communicate and charm and therefore shoot from the hip"
Aberdeen's research supports this idea. Its recent report shows a clear connection between the use of sales training and a company's quota attainment, both for sales teams and for individual salespeople. Those companies that incorporate training into their sales strategy consistently outperformed those that didn't.
"While we have seen companies continue to express doubt in the economic recovery, they continue to enhance their spend on sales training regardless of budget cuts or travel restrictions," Peter Ostrow, research director of sales effectiveness for Aberdeen, writes in his report Sales Training 2011.
A major difference between high-performing companies and other firms has to do with training investments, according to the report. While the "best-in-class" firms employ 25 percent fewer sales reps than other firms, they spend a lot more on sales training: $408,000 per year compared with $302,000 and $294,000, respectively, for "average" and "laggard" companies.
In addition, according to Ostrow's research, the top performers allocate 38 percent of their entire corporate training budget to the sales team vs. 30 percent at average performers and 22 percent at laggards.
"The 'Best-in-Class' learned to put their money where their talent is," Ostrow wrote, "and are clearly showcasing peak performance results as a reward for their sales training."

The mission of the ECW, which includes every woman of the Cathedral parish, is to support the efforts of all members of the Cathedral in order to help people find Christian community through service, study and worship. If you have any questions about the ECW, contact Canon Lauren Holder (lholder@cathedralATL.org), who can connect you with the appropriate guild leader. Or, log in to Touchpoint to find leaders' email addresses.
Groups and Guilds under ECW include:
Daughters of the King (DOK)
Daughters of the King is a religious order of Episcopal lay women who pledge a life of prayer, service and evangelism. They participate regularly in prayer, and, as they are able, serve on and off campus. The Cathedral chapter of the DOK offers a community to support spiritual growth and respite for those serving the parish. It meets every other month as a group for fellowship and programs that address members' vows. Anyone interested in becoming a member of the Daughters of the King should contact Cathy Hutcheson, 404-931-8269.
Flower Guild
It is a busy time for the Cathedral Flower Guild!
We are currently planning floral designs to be used throughout the fall season for the Cathedral's various worship spaces, including not only regular Sunday services, but also weddings, baptisms, special altar dedications and festivals, and have even started on Christmas!
There is much to do throughout the week and we are always looking for new members who want to get involved with a fun group of men and women of all ages who enjoy fellowship while providing a beautiful service to the Cathedral. Whether someone loves flowers or doesn't know a thing about them, there's a place for them on the Cathedral Flower Guild! We will be hosting a Beginners' Workshop on November 12. Interested Cathedral members may contact Canon Cathy Zappa for more information.
And at last, the renovation of the Andrews sacristy is almost complete! We look forward to moving back in soon to a beautiful, new, efficient flower workspace and having an official blessing by the Dean, and plan to host a few open houses between services on select Sundays for Cathedral members to come and see the new space; stay tuned for dates. We are thankful over these many months for David Rocchio's supervision of the project, Cathedral member Victor Moldovan's design expertise, and the Music Department's sharing of their break room with us so we could have a temporary workroom to prepare for Easter, weddings, music recitals, and every single Sunday for almost half a year.
St. Anne's Guild:
St. Anne's Guild is a ladies' daytime guild, meeting during lunch hours of 11:30-1, usually on Thursdays, but days are subject to change depending on the guest speaker's availability. The age range is in between the 50's, 60's, and 70's. All meetings take place on site at the Cathedral with special events at members' homes or at other public or private spaces.
St. Anne's has three missions: spiritual, social fellowship, and charity. Cathy Zappa is the spiritual leader and occasional speaker. Most speakers are spiritual leaders. In the past several decades, the guild has donated tens of thousands of dollars to Buckhead Christian Ministry. This past year, the guild donated $1,000 to the Afghan Women and $500 to Kids2Leaders.
St. Anne's has robust social fellowship! As an established guild with many long-time members, there are many deep relationships that exist within this guild. However, everyone extends open arms to new members who wish to join and expand the circle.

St. Ruth's Ministry:
The purpose of St. Ruth's Ministry is to carry on the legacy of hospitality, grace, and generosity faithfully demonstrated at the Cathedral of St. Philip by the late Ruth Vaught, our beloved "Old Woman." As "hostesses" of the Cathedral, we will emulate Ruth's gift of caring for our parish with a welcoming presence and thoughtful service assisting with receptions, special gatherings, specific meals, and other key events. Our goal is to be a resource of hospitality for our clergy, staff and parishioners within the Cathedral. Please also sign up here so we have your contact info. Contact Joan Duncan with any questions.
St. Veronica's Guild:
St. Veronica's Guild welcomes all women of St. Philip's to join in rich opportunities for worship, spiritual growth, Christian education, and fellowship, with meetings each second Tuesday of the month at 10:30 a.m., September through May. In addition, we purchase and distribute personal care items in partnership with four vital Atlanta Episcopal ministries: Holy Comforter Episcopal Church, Crossroads Community Ministries, Church of the Common Ground, and Emmaus House. Since the COVID pandemic, we no longer collect personal care items but rather buy them in bulk. To support this level of need is an ongoing challenge. You can make a donation to our personal care items drive online through the Cathedral's website. For more information, please contact 2022 SVG President Sissy Burke.
The Episcopal Church Women (ECW) of the Cathedral of St. Philip are thrilled to announce Cathedral Giving by Design. Formerly The Cathedral Antiques Show, Cathedral Giving By Design will continue our 50 year history of supporting vital non-profit organizations within the Atlanta community.
Cathedral Giving By Design is a two day event celebrating the joy of Home and Hospitality. Continuing a long tradition of philanthropic giving to the Atlanta Community, we invite you to join us for a festive "Welcome Home" party and auction, tour Atlanta's most fabulous homes and learn from fresh and engaging designers.
The inaugural event will be held January 20-21, 2023.
Cathedral Giving By Design is thrilled to announce our 2023 beneficiary: Women's Resource Center to End Domestic Violence. All net proceeds of the event go directly to the beneficiary.
We are excited about the next chapter of giving at the Cathedral and look forward to your continued support. For more information, please email info@cathedralgivingbydesign.org.

PERSONALITY: Carl is a protector first and foremost. He is very caring and dedicated as well.
He met the love of his life Eve Jones when he treated her for injuries from a car accident. The two eventually got married and had twin daughters named Cassie and Melissa.
His world was shook a couple years ago when the truth of his wifes affair with rich man Gary Jackson came to the surface. He was hurt more than ever. However, his sense of dedication won out in the end and he forgave Eve and promised to be loyal to her till the day he died. The two now are closer than ever.
His main concern nowadays are his daughtersmainly Cassie. Cassie has had a history with mental issues and was once committed for trying to kill her sister. Carl has deep resentment for Keith Hetricke because he fears he is the reason that Cassie is getting driven to mental illness again. He is determined to get his daughter help before its too late.

BOSTON, MA -- (MARKET WIRE) -- April 5, 2007 -- Although the majority of enterprises realize the inherent danger of supply risk, many organizations simply do not place a high-enough priority on risk management, according to a new report by the Aberdeen Group, a Harte-Hanks Company (NYSE: HHS).
Supply Risk Increasing While the Market Stands Still found that leading procurement and supply management executives are faced with significant pressure to minimize the financial impacts of supply disruptions, while also insulating customers addressing increased market tightening and regulatory concerns for these same risks. Drawing research culled from over 210 companies, the report discovered that Best in Class enterprises are 54% more likely than their peers to identify supply risk as a high priority for corporate action and nearly one-third have had programs in place for more than three years.
"Supply risk can never be zeroed out," said lead author and Aberdeen Research Analyst William Browning. "Therefore it must be addressed head-on starting with the right risk metrics, using the right tools, and then following through with action plans to mitigate risk as much as possible. Organizations can lose millions of dollars in the short-term and possibly their customers over the long-run."
Aberdeen recommends that enterprises looking to achieve these Best in Class benefits should reorganize their supply risk program management into a cross-functional ownership mode to enhance visibility, as well as utilize contract-hedging and other "insurance" tools to mitigate risk and limit the financial impact of disruptions.
