Sex as Storytelling
Joshua Villines | Atlanta | 03/13/2006
"9 Songs tells a familiar story, but the way the story is told is innovative, poignant, and memorable. We found ourselves still talking about the movie hours later.
The sex which comprises the movie is explicit, but it is neither Holywood sex nor "porn movie" sex. The couple's physical relationship is real and honest, and tells the story of the movie. I was impressed with the idea of using sex as the primary narrative device, and the director's implementation of the idea is brilliantly executed. 9 songs tells its story well in a language most of us can understand."
To some, prurient, to some, nostalgic, but more than that...
Chris | formerly of Etton, nr Peterborough, Cambridgeshire | 06/27/2006
"Some might consider this movie prurient, while to others it will seem sweetly nostalgic. Anyone who is looking at this review will already know that 9 Songs is famed for its full-on sex scenes. Some, however, will not be aware that it really is about the nature of memory and the waking-up to ordinary life's intangible fleeting beauty.
The main character is a British glaciologist through whose eyes, metaphorically, one "remembers" a relationship a lovely, egotistical, careless, charming, and crazy woman, not unlike the young women young men meet from time to time and with whom men try (unsuccessfully) to have a temporally enduring relationship.
Matt (Kieran O'Brien) is an ugly-handsome winsome working-class bloke made good in Tony Blair's New Britain. Lisa (Margot Stilley)is an American, obviously from what is called a "good family", curvaceously slim, statuesque (about two inches taller than Matt), educated, and unserious about both her relationship with Matt and her job. As for her "job", though we don't see much of it at all, it's obviously just a time-marking "playing about with typewriters and latchkeys and calling it work", as EM Forster called the occupations of upper middle class twenty-somethings who receive regular checks from the family back home. She a good-looking 21 year old American woman in London with time on her hands, and a liking for men.
Glaciology is a key thematic element in 9 Songs. Antarctica is a metaphor for one's memory. The snow laid down in the center of the continent becomes ice, trapping bubbles of air inside it. Those bubbles are the continent's "memory" of the weather on a certain day, a certain year. As more and more ice is laid down at the center, the earlier deposits move inecluctably toward the sea, there to be "calved" become bergs, and finally melt, leaving no trace behind.
Apart from Antarctica, there's not a lot more than performances by bands like the Dandy Warhols, Super Furry Animals, and so forth. Nine songs sung in really fun-looking London venues, to be exact, and, of course, the famous scenes of the couple making love. The lovemaking is more inferred than depicted ofttimes, but taken as a whole one would doubt that there is even a square centimetre of the protagonists' anatomies that is not unmistakably displayed in all its glory for all the world to see in this movie. The sex, for the most part, has a quality of warmly relational authenticity that anyone could recognize as very distinct from exploitative porn. As a result, the viewer seldom feels terribly voyeuristic, but rather the director seeks for the viewer to experience a reflective nostalgia, redolent of times past - which is, of course, a function of memory.
HOWEVER, the title of the film does not, I think, refer merely to the "songs" sung by the bands. My own theory is that the auteur, Michael Winterbottom, is alluding to the Chinese 13th century Yuan Dynasty cycle of poems, The Nine Songs, which is in many respects about the Shamanic quest. "Similar to the traditional shaman of Siberia, Central Asia and the Arctic, the wu enters into a trance state in performing ceremonies. However, unlike his northern counterparts, the Chinese shaman enters into a fleeting love relationship with the God (or Goddess)." [taken from Zekeriyah's excellent review of the book of the same name on this site]
You see, this film is not only about memory, and what a guy remembers about a relationship with a woman he has loved (which guys being who they are, is mostly the perceived high points, like going to shows and making love), but 9 Songs also seems to be an extended metaphor for the Shamanic quest, which in the end requires union with the mysterious Beloved other, the mythological dakini, who both enlivens and kills her lover simultaneously and then simply disappears into the sky, and leaves behind (there's that word, memory, again) as her gift a precious, elusive realization of the ugly-beautiful reality of things-as-they-are.
With that in mind, see this movie. It's not really about sex."
9 Songs - Breaking new ground or an embarassment?
Mr D. | Cave Creek, Az United States | 08/21/2006
""I've read a few reviews on 9 songs and one thing they all seem to agree upon is that the movie has no story. I can't disagree with them. There isn't much of a story, but if you pay attention you do arrive at some interesting conclusions."
"The plot of the movie can be boiled down to this, boy and girl meet at a, Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, rock concert and go to his apt and f*ck. Another concert and another roll in the hay. With some small exceptions this is the modus operandi for nine concerts."
"Matt is a scientist, a glaciologist and Lisa is a visiting American college student. Matt tried to keep up with Lisa, but I got the impression that he was overmatched, with Lisa, whom I thought was an excitement junkie. She was also more into experimentation. At one point one point Matt went home by himself as she stayed with a woman."
"I couldn't figure out why the sex scenes seemed so well done - almost real. Then, as the movie progressed it became obvious. The bathtub scene with Matt and Lisa, the only actors in the movie, gave me the first clue. With Matt (Kieran O'Brien) leaning back on one side of the tub and Lisa (Margo Stilley) on the other, she uses her feet to massage his erect penis in full view of the viewers. That was about halfway through the movie and was only the beginning. Each sex scene thereafter, became increasing more explicit."
"After about three months of steady rock concerts and sex, Lisa tells Matt that she will soon be going back to America. Matt is crushed, so that afternoon Lisa cheers him up by ... how can I say this? Blowing him! The viewer gets to see the whole episode, just like a porn movie. She sucks on him for about thirty seconds and then cuts away to a long view of Matt, ejaculating on himself."
"On the day she is scheduled to leave, the spectator is presented a vision of the couple having intercourse including clear view of phallic penetration."
"Speaking of the rock concerts, rock music fans, especially fans of British bands may be interested in the bands of the various concerts. I managed to dig seven of them out - they are:"
*	Super Furry Animals
*	The Dandy Warhol
*	Franz Ferdinand
*	Elbow
*	Black Rebel Motorcycle Club
*	The Von Bondies
*	Primal Scream
"What one might get out of this movie depends upon what one's expectations are. No, it doesn't have much of a story, but I thought the overall product was entertaining and very watchable. The movie was realistic in everyway (not just the sex) and earthy. The acting by the two actors was really something to behold and so was the cinematography."
"It should be pointed out that the writer, producer, director of 9 Songs, felt there was a double standard regarding reading material vs film. He thought, since many erotic and even mainstream stories are extremely graphic, why can't mainstream movies also depict graphic sex. In comparison to the present day trend of filthy degrading pornographic films, 9 songs must seem extremely tame. Still, it is a big leap forward in sexuality from the average boring, poorly done soft-core movie. Therefore, I'm going against the grain, and giving the movie 4 stars.""
SEXUALLY EXPLICIT BUT BLAND
Robin Simmons | Palm Springs area, CA United States | 09/19/2006
Pushing the envelope for explicit, over the counter home videos, 9 SONGS (Tartan) is about one year of sex and rock'n roll in the life of two lovers.
Matt is a young glaciologist. He meets Lisa at a London rock concert. That night they start an affair. In between attending more concerts, they make passionate love. It's for real and explicit. Nine live-concert song footage is intercut with their coke-snorting, sexual encounters creating a sometimes ironic reflection of their intense physical but otherwise rather bland relationship. And finally, all this takes place in the memory of Matt as he flies across the vast frozen wastelands of the South Pole.
This unscripted film is part musical, part drama, part documentary and part performance. It raises questions about the difference between pornography and art. Controversial and much buzzed about, this not fully satisfying experiment is of interest mainly as a novelty item by a usually innovative and creative director for what it could have been. And of course the sex. A special feature eliminates everything but the concert performances."
Sweet memories... Snapshots of a summer of sex and rock musi
dooby | 08/02/2006
"I liked this film. I bought the DVD because of its notoriety but with full awareness of the generally dismal reviews it received. It turned out to be a surprisingly sweet little film. Not much of a plot and not really a love story as such. It's more an experimental art film touching on memory - specifically the bittersweet memory of a lost love. A young Englishman remembers the short summer fling he had with a bright, vivacious, and beautiful 21-year old American girl. He obviously thought more of their summer tryst than she did. And when she leaves for home at the end of summer, he is devastated. He takes refuge in his work as a glaciologist, fleeing to the barren wastes of Antarctica. But if this film depicts what he thought of their relationship, it does beg the question, just how deep were his feelings towards her? If the only things you can recall of a relationship are the bouts of sex and rock concerts, that doesn't really say much for the relationship.
This film has been endlessly compared to porn by various critics, even by the official reviewer here on Amazon. I find the comparison rather unfair. Yes, it has explicit sex scenes which would not be out of place in a porn video. But that does not make it porn. Sex is a natural part of a relationship and a natural part of life. The film depicts it as such without apology and without shame. When the relationship is over, this young man thinks back and concentrates only on the sex because that, sadly but truthfully, was what was most important to him, much as he would like to believe otherwise.
The sex is hot. And more importantly, believable. Not the overblown silliness of porn. For people who have yet to see the film, make no mistake, everything is explicitly shown here, not lingering voyeuristically like in true porn but matter-of-factly like in a documentary. You see the couple engage in fellatio, cunnilingus and vaginal sex. And in a rare departure for a mainstream movie, you see the male partner ejaculate during fellatio. There are also 2 scenes where the young lovers experiment with mild bondage; blindfolds and tying down to the bed during sex. The actors are unknowns but they play their parts very well. Kieran O'Brien (Matt) looks like your average young London guy. Margo Stilley (Lisa) was in real life an American based in the UK and she is seriously cute.
I am not a fan of contemporary British rock music, so I endured the songs more than enjoyed them. But the believabilty of the intimate moments more than made up for it. The 9 songs recorded during 9 live concerts, act as chapter breaks between the bouts of sex.
The film was shot on Digital Video and is presented in its original 1.85:1 aspect ratio (enhanced for widescreen TV). Picture quality is fair considering the source material. Colours are strong and natural. Black levels are fine. Sharpness is satisfactory. Sound is available in both DTS 5.1, Dolby Digital 5.1 and Dolby 2.0. The sound is fair although rather lacking in Oomph for a rock concert, even when I did allow it get up to normal levels. I spent most of the time muting the volume during the rock concerts and boosting it to hear the dialogue. Optional Spanish subtitles are provided. There are about 30 minutes worth of interviews, 15 mins with Margo Stilley and about 7 mins each with Kieran O'Brien and director Michael Winterbottom. There are 5 separate music videos from the bands, The Dandy Warhols (Smoke it / The Last High), The Von Bondies (C'mon, C'mon) and Elbow (Intro-Meet the Band / Forget Myself). The film itself is playable as a concert only version, shorn of all the sex. I'm not sure who would want that but the option is there. Finally there is the theatrical trailer and a small photo gallery. The sex is hot but if you're looking for porn you'll be disappointed. If you're looking for a film that tells a story, like 90% of American audiences, you'll also be disappointed. But if you can appreciate a quietly reflective recollection of a lost period in someone's life, this could appeal to you."


It's taken us a while to get all of these new pages up, but we think they are worth it. Our brand new animal alphabet comes as posters and as colouring pages, and for each you can choose from a printable with the words underneath, or without. We've got some well-known animals, birds and sea-creatures in the alphabet, and some really unusual ones too, so there's lots to enjoy, discover and talk about.

SC corrections employees charged in contraband ring a week after deadly riot
Posted: 10:42 AM, Apr 25, 2018
Multiple South Carolina corrections employees are facing federal charges related to bribery and bringing contraband into the state's institutions a week after a deadly prison riot.
Federal court documents obtained by The Associated Press on Wednesday show corrections officers and other agency employees are charged with bringing drugs and cellphones into state prisons.
The indictments were unsealed just over a week after a deadly riot at Lee Correctional Institution that left seven inmates dead. Officials have said the riot was a fight among rival gangs competing for territory and contraband, and have long blamed cellphones for dangers inside prison.
The defendants were expected to appear in court later Wednesday.

A new year is upon us and, in a spirit of reflection and sincere gratitude, I am excited to share a video featuring my favorites of 2017! I have the privilege of testing so many products over the course of 12 months and, consequently, I endeavored to create a balanced edit of the best that beauty and skincare have to offer. Reach for a tea and a snack and prepare for the 27 minutes of beauty talk that await...I truly hope you enjoy.
Cheek color and highlighter favorites.
// PERENNIAL FAVORITES // Often in my purse and always within reach.
Free People Dock Street Top: I was instantly drawn to this floral top at Nordstrom...the delicate ruffle details and rich floral pattern are sophisticated yet entirely casual. The top, which is excellent as a winter transitional piece, runs a bit on the larger side (I am wearing a small).
Gucci Horsebit Loafers: These ended up being my Christmas present as the booties I ordered ended up being too big. I am over the moon for the comfortable 2-inch chunky heel and clean horse bit details and will be wearing these for years to come. I find they run a touch large; I wear a 7 to 7 1/2 and a 7 in this particular pair fits perfectly!
The Gucci Horsebit Loafers have a 2-inch heel that can be dressed up or down.
Bottom Line: I hope you found this video and the accompanying images interesting and engaging and would love to know what a few of YOUR favorites for 2017 are. Do we share some in common? Do tell!
Thanks again for your loyalty, support and friendship here at Beauty Professor; I am beyond grateful for you and our beauty-loving community and look forward to all that is to come in 2018.
Good things ahead, including a fresh winter look, a host of new product procurements and some on-location features as I am headed back to Paris next week ; ) Any suggestions?
Love and blessings to you in this new year!

Princess Eugenie's Wedding Dress Is Going on Display at Windsor Castle
Memorably, the gown was designed to show Eugenie's scar on her back.
Princess Eugenie's wedding gown captured the media's attention this past October—and now, the royal family is giving the public the chance to see it up close.
The dress, designed by Peter Pilotto and Christopher De Vos, will go on display in Windsor Castle as a part of the exhibition "A Royal Wedding: HRH Princess Eugenie and Mr. Jack Brooksbank." The exhibition's online description notes that Pilotto and De Vos researched previous wedding dresses worn by the royal family, and over the course of several fittings with Princess Eugenie, developed the final design.
That design included some meaningful symbols, including a reference to Balmoral Castle in Scotland, Eugenie's mother's Irish heritage, and the couple's own home, Ivy Cottage at Kensington Palace.
As we learned at the time of her wedding, Princess Eugenie "specifically requested a low back to show the scar from surgery she underwent aged 12 to correct scoliosis," per the Royal Collection Trust. Eugenie has made an effort to speak out about her experience with the disease, notably sharing her own x-rays in an Instagram post for Scoliosis Awareness Day this past year.
The dress—likely the exhibition's main draw—will go on display alongside the Greville Tiara, which Eugenie wore to her wedding, and Jack Brooksbank's morning suit.
It will be the first time that the Greville Tiara, made by Boucheron in 1919, will go on public display. The stunning piece features "brilliant rose diamonds pavé set in platinum, with six emeralds on either side," the Duke of York noted in a tweet, and was leant to Eugenie by Queen Elizabeth.

The Beaches, Inlets and Ports Program planning staff is charged with updating and maintaining the Strategic Beach Management Plan (SBMP) and assisting the coastal engineering and geology staff with establishing or updating the Inlet Management Plans (IMP) to address critical erosion along Florida's coastline. When drafting the plans, coordination between local governments, state agencies, federal government and the private sector is a critical component to developing a comprehensive approach for addressing the critical erosion along Florida's beaches. Planning staff also coordinates with federal agencies on ongoing beach and inlet projects, rule and policy development, regional sediment management and training opportunities. Review of federally funded or conducted activities are reviewed for consistency with the Florida Coastal Management Program. Staff also participates with the Gulf of Mexico Alliance to improve habitats in the Gulf, and share or learn about Florida's coastal management activities.
Beach and inlet management activities and practices in the state of Florida are governed by the Dennis L. Jones Beach and Shore Preservation Act, Chapter 161, Florida Statutes (F.S.). In 1986, pursuant to Sections 161.101 and 161.161, F.S., the Department of Natural Resources, Division of Beaches and Shores (now the Department of Environmental Protection, Division of Water Resource Management) was charged with the responsibility to identify those beaches of the state that are critically eroding and to develop and maintain a comprehensive long-term management plan for their restoration. The long-term management plan has several components to it that the department implements including the Strategic Beach Management Plan and inlet management plans. The other components to the long-term management plan include the critical erosion report, local government funding requests and the long-range budget plan. The funding requests and budget plan are handled through the Beach Management Funding Assistance Program.

« Hot Tub Before Massage – or After?
My wife, of all people, just said "I didn't know that Jacuzzi was a family name." The story of the Jacuzzi brothers, and the origins of the business efforts that eventually became a household name, is simply fascinating, I told her.
Take a look, this is Joseph Jacuzzi, one of the seven Jacuzzi brothers who worked together to create innovations that the world could not live without. "Mmm-hmm" she says as her head tilts to her shoulder.
The Jacuzzi Impeller Design created more flow with less resistance, capable of much more lift with less work, than other impeller designs. During the last century, Jacuzzi Bros., inc. patented over 300 designs for impellers, propellers and turbines, for pumps, planes and ships.
They started with propellers, for airplanes, and patented a very successful impeller, and later designed and built the first high wing monoplane with an enclosed cabin, and sold it to the US Postal Service and to commercial airline operators. They were propeller and aviation engineers before they were ever in the water business.
But, an unfortunate crash of one of their airplanes in 1921, which killed Giocondo Jacuzzi, led to the Jacuzzi brothers directing their knowledge of propellers and air dynamics into the development of impellers and flow dynamics.
California farmers during the depression were needing a reliable way to bring up deep water at low pressure, to water crops. The Jacuzzi brothers designed a unique vertical pump design, which is still in use today by many farmers, across the world. It protects the motor from water, while reducing seal problems with the shaft. A multi stage volute, using multiple stack impellers, creates lift and suction from one centrifugal stage to the next.
A scaled down, portable and submersible version of their popular agricultural pump was created for home use, and was found to serve a multitude of industrial and commercial water movement needs, especially for rural Americans. The J-300 pump was introduced in the fifties and became wildly popular for personal hydrotherapy (it's original purpose) by just dropping it into a hot bath. Many more inventions followed, for marine, agriculture and consumer use.
Jacuzzi was not the first to use a curved vane, but they continued to refine the art with their dozens of patents filed on improvements in impeller efficiency, creating more output with less energy, and with less wear and tear, pump leaks, both common problems of the day.
As the Jacuzzi company entered it's third generation of family ownership, Roy Jacuzzi, fresh out of college, champions a new line of products – personal whirlpools, in 1968. In the seventies, this expanded to larger models called spas, with molded seats, pumps, filters and heaters. The determined Roy Jacuzzi traveled thousands of miles at trade shows and county fairs, building enthusiasm for this new lifestyle product, which caught on quite well I'd say. Through the eighties and nineties Jacuzzi Whirlpool sales represented 80% of company wide sales, completely overshadowing the swimming pool and agricultural line of products.
So yes, Jacuzzi is a family name, (Hi, Honey) – a brand name and not just a generic term for a hot tub. They are credited with the creation of what we call hot tubs and spas, and although the Jacuzzi family has long ago sold off the family business, the company continues to inspire with creative whirlpool and bath design and quality construction.


I posted this on Sunday for Father's Day. I decided to link to it for GratitTuesday. I am very thankful for all my dad taught me.
In honor of Father's Day, I wanted to talk about my dad.
My dad has taught me so much. One of the most important things he taught me growing up was the value of hard work and money. We had very little growing up. We did not have a closet full of clothes or a room full of toys. We did not have fancy cars or designer things. The fact that we did not have these things was not out of choice, it was out of necessity.
There were many times that our family struggled to survive financially. My dad worked hard to provide for us, but times were tough. He has always done construction work, and there were times when there was just no construction work. Did he just sit around and do nothing, taking handouts from the government? NO! He did whatever it took to provide for his family. He found work doing whatever he could. He logged. He split wood. He worked making wood shingles for roofing.
I even remember several times he picked mushrooms to pay the electric bill. And let me tell you, mushroom picking is no fun for very little pay. My sister and I picked mushrooms with him. It was one of the worst jobs I ever had. We are not talking about picking them on a mushroom farm of some sort. We trampled through damp, cold forests in Oregon looking for them. We would spend hours and only come out with a few pounds, but he did it to provide for us. And I never remember him complaining. He did what it took to provide for us. He never just sat around doing nothing. He worked and worked to supply our needs.
When he did have work in the construction field, it was not a glamorous job. He worked hard in the summer heat and cold winter snow and rain doing very physical work. We lived in a very small town in the middle of nowhere. There was little work where we lived, so for many, many years he drove one hour each way to work. He still does. He wanted to raise us in the country, and he sacrificed for it.
When I was young, I think only eight or nine, I picked strawberries for a summer job. Also, not a very glamorous job, but we would pick berries to pay for school clothes. I did this until I was about 13. At the time I hated it. I though it was terrible that I had to spend four weeks of my summer in the berry fields, but in doing this my dad was teaching us the value of work. He was teaching us that we needed to work for the things we wanted. He would provide the basics, but if we wanted beyond that we had to work for it. Few kids now know this concept. We live in a time in the US where very few kids would even think of entering a strawberry field to pick berries to buy clothes. No this was not child abuse, it was teaching me that life involved work. Things are not handed to you. I will be forever grateful my dad taught me this.
He also taught me how to save money. As soon as I started picking strawberries, he taught me to save it. We had to tithe 10% and then 45% went into a savings account, and 45% we could spend. We usually bought clothes with the spending money. This was not a choice, this is what we were required to do. When I was young I thought this was terrible. I worked for the money. I thought I should be able to spend it. Once again my dad knew he was teaching me something important. He was teaching me the value of money. Because he taught me the importance of saving, I paid cash for my first car at age 18. It was not a nice car, but I was able to buy it with cash using the money I had saved from all the years of strawberry picking and babysitting. My dad knew the importance of teaching me about money.
I am now raising three kids of my own. The Lord has provided me with a lifestyle I never dreamed I would have. I lack for nothing. I am now realizing that I had so much more growing up then I ever realized as a child. Having lots of "stuff" is not what is important. You see things so differently as an adult. I would not change my childhood. I am glad we struggled for money. I am glad my dad made me start working at a young age. Being taught to work hard and save money has helped me become who I am today. I need to remember this more often.
I could go on and on about all the things my dad taught me, but I think how to hard work and the value of money were two of the most important things he instilled in me. So thanks Dad, for all the years of working hard to provide for us! Thank you for setting the example of how to work hard and save money. I only hope I can pass some of what you taught me on to my own children.
And Dad, I am bringing you the Aldi's Chocolate Bars with Hazelnuts in them when I visit next month. HAPPY FATHER'S DAY!!!!
Your dad blessed you with lots of wonderful gifts. Your memories of him teaching you these lessons was a wonderful read.
What a wonderful Dad, it sounds like he really sacrificed for his family. What a gift!
I love how your dad taught you how to work hard and appreciate having what you needed. That's such a valuable lesson I hope we're all teaching our kids.

Q: Use of Undeclared Indentifer I've been following a tutorial (can't post more than two links, but it's AppCoda's) for getting a user's location for Xcode (with a couple of modifications). Unfortunately, when I tried to build it, I get an error in FirstViewController.h saying

"Use of undeclared identifier 'longitudeLabel'; did you mean '_longitude Label'?"

Here is my FirstViewController.m, which is the one that is causing me problems:
#import "FirstViewController.h"

@interface FirstViewController ()

@end

@implementation FirstViewController {
    CLLocationManager *locationManager;
}

- (void)viewDidLoad {
    [super viewDidLoad];
    // Do any additional setup after loading the view, typically from a nib.
    locationManager = [[CLLocationManager alloc] init];
}

- (void)didReceiveMemoryWarning {
    [super didReceiveMemoryWarning];
    // Dispose of any resources that can be recreated.
}

- (IBAction)getCurrentLocation:(id)sender {
    locationManager.delegate = self;
    locationManager.desiredAccuracy = kCLLocationAccuracyBest;

    [locationManager startUpdatingLocation];

}

#pragma mark - CLLocationManagerDelegate

- (void)locationManager:(CLLocationManager *)manager didFailWithError:(NSError *)error
{
    NSLog(@"didFailWithError: %@", error);
    UIAlertView *errorAlert = [[UIAlertView alloc]
                               initWithTitle:@"Error" message:@"Failed to Get Your Location" delegate:nil cancelButtonTitle:@"OK" otherButtonTitles:nil];
    [errorAlert show];
}

- (void)locationManager:(CLLocationManager *)manager didUpdateToLocation:(CLLocation *)newLocation fromLocation:(CLLocation *)oldLocation
{
    NSLog(@"didUpdateToLocation: %@", newLocation);
    CLLocation *currentLocation = newLocation;

    if (currentLocation != nil) {
        longitudeLabel.text = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%.8f", currentLocation.coordinate.longitude];
        latitudeLabel.text = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%.8f", currentLocation.coordinate.latitude];
//******the two lines above this are causing me problems********
    }
}

@end

The two lines near the bottom right above the close paranthesis are the ones causing me the problem (they're also marked with a comment). An important note is that the tutorial was created in Xcode 4, and when I run it with the recommendations applied, the labels for latitude and longitude do not change. Thanks in advance!

Calgary steps up to fund funeral for murdered five-year-old Taliyah Marsman and - Calgary Sun
Forbes, who also writes a Calgary Sun column, started a similar fundraiser after the murders of two-year-old Hailey Dunbar-Blanchette and her father Terry Blanchette in Blairmore last year. He said that Marsman and Baillie's family will be donating the extra money from the fundraiser to a women's shelter. "They'll use what they can for the family and they'll use the rest to help some other people," Forbes said. Funeral services for Marsman and Baillie will be held at the Centre Street Church, 3900 2nd St. N.E., Thursday at 2 p.m. Edward Delten Downey, 46, is charged in their deaths. sfarooqui@postmedia.com Let's block ads!

'I am Cured,' Says Woman with Aggressive Form of MS After Receiving HSCT in Canada - Multiple Sclerosis News Today (blog)
Freedman and Dr. Harold Atkins. My life is spectacularly different than before my transplant… I, at my worst, was 9.5 in our EDSS scale of disability. I was sent home to my small town hospital, in Blairmore, AB [Alberta], after the city had done all they were able, to die… I was told it was now 'between you and God,' is this what I wanted to hear? Well, at that point 'kind of so!' I had been a quadriplegic already with no movement but my head, was this my life until God chose to take me? If it was going to be, death was a great option. Things instead took an amazing turn and here I am nearing on five years' post-transplant. I'm alive and well. 'Well,' of course, from my perspective — I'm not dead… I have the ability to roll myself in bed, I can feed myself and walk aided, probably always will, but I'm nowhere near where I was before. My disease has been HALTED!!! I do use the "C word" all the time… I actually named one of my blogs the "C WORD" stands for "Cured not cancer." I'm so grateful for all those who came before me and excited beyond measure for all those to follow… That was written by Fiona Fifield, who I contacted at her home outside Calgary, Canada. Fiona Fifield I asked her to tell me her story, and how she became one of the few people to have received HSCT in Canada outside the trial conducted by Dr. Mark Freedman and Dr. Harold Adkins, of The Ottawa Hospital and the University of Ottawa. (Watch Multiple Sclerosis News Today's exclusive interview with Dr. Mark Freedman at this year's CMSC.) She said: "It was in January 2010, when I was working as a long-haul truck driver, that I realized that I could not work anymore. "One day in April 2011,...

Convoy evokes Canadian pride in North Bay - Vermilion Standard
Monday afternoon.Caron, of North Bay, was waiting in the parking lot at Motion Canada on Gormanville Road for almost 100 vehicles, from small cars to big rigs, to pull in on their journey from Alberta to Parliament Hill with a message for federal politicians. Alexandre Caron "This is about more than pipelines," Caron says. "This is about government. This is about all the provinces having different issues. It's about getting back the political process."The United We Roll Convoy for Canada, a caravan of transports, work vehicles and personal automobiles, left Red Deer, Alta., last Thursday bound for Ottawa and a protest on Parliament Hill Tuesday."The media and the government have divided the provinces," Caron says. "We want to fight for our freedoms and our rights. We want fair government.""We are watching Justin Trudeau slowly strip away every right we had," Sarah Zaldinger, of Timmins, said as about two dozen supporters waited for the convoy to arrive, sharing updates on when the parade would roll into town."He is stripping the future of my children and their children and their children," Zaldinger said. "They are being set up for failure. Their rights, their future, will all be destroyed if we don't stand up now."Although she was not part of the convoy to North Bay, Zaldinger was going to join it Tuesday morning for the rally in Ottawa as part of her own objective of "direct democracy."And direct democracy is possible, she said.Zaldinger pointed to a recent Amber Alert sent to cellphone users across the province ...

European Union Cyber Security Act: What is it?
By Julia Livingston April 30, 2019 Cyber Security News & Briefing
What is the European Union Cyber Security Act?
The EU Cyber Security Act was approved by the European Parliament on March 12, 2019. It is a part of the cyber security package that was announced by the European Union in 2017. The act includes a plan for a universal security certification of ICT and IoT products across the EU states. This will replace national certifications, except those for national security purposes. The act ensures that the new certifications "should be non-discriminatory and based on European or international standards." When set in motion, the act will reduce costs of certification.
It does this by creating one uniform system, instead of the current system of individual country certifications. It also strives to reduce inconsistencies and conflicts between national certifications. Another goal is to help cultivate more trust between companies and consumers.
The act includes a product rating scale: 'basic', 'substantial', or 'high'. The ratings will be according to the level of risk that the consumer is subject to when using the product. The scale will, in turn, set the rigorous standards the products must conform to. The scale will help inform consumers when making purchases in that market.
Along with informing new customers, the act will be enforced by national cyber security authorities. There also will be penalties set for breaching the plans.
Where Did it Come From?
The Cyber Security package was announced in 2017 at the State of the European Union Address, given by Jean-Claude Juncker. Juncker rated cyber threats as one of the highest priorities for the EU to address, second to fighting climate change. And though this act has been approved by the European Parliament, the Commission still has to approve the act before it would be implemented.
How Could It Impact American Business?
It is unclear whether the act will actually save companies in the ICT industry any money. While the unified certification would make it easier to be certified in the EU instead of individually applying to countries, the certification could be an expensive jump for companies in order to become compliant.
Legally, the act may be beneficial to companies when an incident does occur. If the company has shown due effort to comply with EU certification requirements and ENISA, who will be largely in charge of the regulation of manufacturers, the customer, looking for restitution of losses, could turn to the EU instead of the company. This is because the certification could create a false sense of security for the consumer, thinking that the device is 100% safe from security breaches, when, in reality, that is impossible.
After the company shows its compliance with the law, the law would then be the problem, This would shift the responsibility from the company to the EU.
Until 2023, certifying products are voluntary, at which time the plans will be revisited. It will then be decided whether the certification should be mandatory. In the next year, the Commission will write a plan for businesses in the industry on strategies for future certifications.

DOS Attack: Tri State Power Grid


Students and staff at a St Albans school have been celebrating their 'pillar of the community' chaplain of 18 years being awarded British citizenship.
The chaplain of St Albans High School for Girls, the Rev Diane C. FitzGerald Clark – known as Mother Clark – officially became a British national in front of a packed assembly of 750 students and staff led by a ceremonies officer.
The assembly witnessed the chaplain's pledges to Queen and country and joined in with a rendition of the national anthem .
Mother Clark, an American living in the UK for 20 years, gave a moving speech during the proceedings where she said that her ancestors sailed to America on the Mayflower, so this was her 'coming home'.
As well as being the full time chaplain and a member of the academic staff at the school, Mother Clark – wife of 32 years to Dr Graham Clark – is a Church of England priest with permission to officiate in the Diocese of St Albans.
As chaplain of the school, she is an associated clergyperson of St Albans Cathedral.

TV Theatres: Trelemorele
The two main characters, a man and a woman whose identity is variable and uncertain: they keep changing their sex, profession and appearance. This manipulation provokes unusual reaction in between the viewers. Locked up inside a TV they are forced to play different characters in accordance with the current, popular trends of creating something loud, drastic, sudden, something that will glue the viewer to the screen with a flashy image instead of something essential.
The director of the play uses different commercial tools used in popular TV programmes: news and info programmes, game shows, feature forms like soap operas. The destruction of illusion and its constant reconstruction with the help of multiple overlapping worlds creates an unusual blend from which yet another stories comes to life – a story about a man mindlessly sitting in front of the TV naively consuming everything he or she sees. The play is an ambitious why of warning us against the false distortion of reality created by pop culture. It's a view upon the world right now through the eyes of the all mighty media.
Screenplay: Piotr Łazarkiewicz based upon the works of Tadeusz Różewicz
Production: mediabrigade for TVP 2

Q: Update Logic Causes WF to Cancel For testing purposes I created a VERY simple WF due to the error I'm getting. I have a Designer 2013 List WF that Runs on the Checked Items List shown below:

The logic is that it will create an item in the Requests List. The only column, aside from Title, that the Create logic is making is the RequestStatus which is set to CurrentItem:RequestStatus.
Stage 1 of the WF runs perfectly. But as soon as I change the RequestStatus to Investigation the WF runs the first log on Stage 2 but then shows me this error displayed below:

I thought my Update logic is sound but I'm not sure. Below is the Update logic in WF:

Can anyone assist in what could be contributing to the WF producing the error on Stage 2?

A: It's very likely locked for editing from when it was created. If you try to update the same item twice fairly close together in a workflow, the second time you'll be locked out. Try adding a 5 minute pause.

Google to get aggressive with Apps suite
By Juan Carlos Perez
Macworld	 Aug 5, 2008 9:53 am PDT
Google plans to aggressively add new applications and capabilities to its Web-hosted Apps software suite for businesses, and will likely leave the price unchanged as it builds out the service, a company official said Tuesday.
The comments signal a move that will likely heat up the competitive fire between Google and Microsoft in the market for office productivity, communication and collaboration software.
Google, a recent entrant to this market, has opted to provide its suite via a software-as-a-service (SaaS) model, a newly popular approach in which vendors host the software and data, and deliver it to customers via the Internet.
Microsoft, a longtime player with its ubiquitous Office suite and Outlook/Exchange messaging and collaboration platform, is starting to react to this trend, although its software is still primarily designed to be installed on customers' own servers.
Currently, Google offers a free, ad-supported Apps version designed for individuals and very small businesses, and a fee-based version called Premier that is aimed at companies of all sizes and costs $50 per user per year. That is considered an aggressive price versus the cost of comparable Microsoft software.
Get more Macworld coverage of Google Apps
Although the individual and business versions share the same core applications, such as Gmail, word processor, calendar, spreadsheet and presentation programs, Apps Premier has a variety of IT management tools as well as APIs (application programming interfaces) for integration with other software.
"Our intention is to really put more value at that price point and offer some amazing proposition to companies," said Dave Girouard, president of Google's Enterprise unit, at the Pacific Crest Technology Leadership Forum.
While not ruling out adding other pricing tiers for certain technology, Girouard stressed that the current strategy is focused on increasing the user base by making the suite more attractive without increasing its cost.
"We expect to hold the price point and add more and more value at that price point," he said. "We want to have commercial relationships with lots of companies, and it matters more that we have that than exactly how much dollar per user we're getting."
"We can certainly hold that price point. We can continue to put more capabilities there. The cost of an additional application to us is tiny, it's hardly material. There are certainly types of applications that we could add that would add cost and we would price appropriately, but I don't expect the price to climb. That wouldn't be my expectation," he added.
Girouard didn't provide any specifics about the types of applications or new features Google is planning to add to Apps.
More than 500,000 businesses and universities have signed up for the free and fee-based versions of Google Apps, resulting in about 10 million active users of the suite, Girouard said.
Apps Premier customers don't generally object to the suite's subscription price, he said, adding that their most common concerns before adopting it are about the security of hosting the software and data outside their premises, and about Google's future plans for the product.
He said Google isn't trying to provide all the features in, say, Microsoft Office, in which applications are generally considered to be richer in functionality. Instead, Google focuses on what it thinks Apps can do better, like simplifying collaboration and sharing in workgroups. As hosted software, Apps is designed with collaboration in mind.
"I'd like all the holes [in the feature set] to be filled, but I'll say generally we're not in the model of trying to replicate the products that work really well for what they do," he said.
For example, Google's spreadsheet application today isn't designed to win over financial analysts who spend a lot of time building very complicated models in Microsoft Excel.
"Excel is very good at that. [But] there's a million things you can use our spreadsheet product for that we think we're much better than Excel at," he said. "If you're looking for feature parity, you'll probably never see that."


350 Bay Area is made up of a dynamic team of volunteers who not only help do the work, but lead the initiatives as well. One of these awesome activists is Carolyn (center of photo); read about her work with youth and passions below.
What inspired/inspires you to work for action on climate?
My son was born just after Fukushima exploded. On maternity leave, wanting reassurance that we were going to be ok, I started reading "science" news articles on my phone. Soon the immense love and protectiveness I felt for my newborn collided with the stark realities I was reading about our climate emergency. I had already worked with middle and high school age youth for years (since I was that age!)– but when I came back from maternity leave, it was with a new determination to support youth in calling out and fighting back against this threat to all of our lives, and especially theirs.
What do you work on at 350 Bay Area?
I work on a program called Youth Vs. Apocalypse- a climate justice activism program for middle and highs school students. My main job is to support students in taking meaningful and powerful action to fight for their climate rights. I do presentations in schools around the Bay Area, support ongoing student activists clubs on a weekly basis at a number of schools, bring together youth coalitions on specific campaigns, and organize training and support for student led actions.
How have you been supporting the Youth v Gov efforts?
In this case, there were a number of students in SF who have been active in other youth led actions in the past, who decided to plan an action around this. I have simply been an as-needed support person, doing things like making messaging suggestions, providing media training and press lists, and helping connect other local activists with the youth activities. It was great to learn that the youth had chosen to do a street mural, a tool we had shared at Zero Hour this summer and the RISE climate justice action in September. The youth who participated in those actions feel comfortable and empowered to use street murals as part of their activism. I try to offer just what is needed, not to step in too much with my own agenda– it really should be led by youth.
As young people, we believe in the importance of protecting our planet for future generations. We find the lack of climate action our government is taking to be appalling and we are grateful for the incredible work these 21 amazing young people are doing.
350 Bay Area has been amazingly welcoming and supportive of youth leadership. Rather than imposing views on what young people "should" be learning, they have supported youth in taking action now, getting their voices into the discussion, and being bold.
What's your favorite 350 Bay Area story?
Probably the time when we brought 200 sixth graders with handmade drums and flags to the EPA listening session on the "repeal" of the Clean Power Plan. Specifically, it was approaching a formal press conference on the steps of city hall, with the hundreds of drumming and chanting 11 and 12 year olds, and watching how the whole place got silent as the kids approached, accidentally marched past the press conference, and then returned, to completely steal the show with their heartfelt speeches on the podium.
Which climate solution are you most excited about and why?
I am excited by the idea that the climate disaster will force us to find new ways to recognize and reject the destructiveness, racism, and misogyny and mistreatment of youth that have been part of our society for a long time. I am excited by the possibility that we can mitigate and survive this disaster by finding deeper forms of allyship and community.
I have worked in youth development programs in Oakland since graduating from SF State in 2003. Besides working at 350 Bay Area, I am the mom of a 4 and a 7 year old, and teach poetry in an after school program in East Oakland.
I am grateful not only to my supportive husband and two little kids, but also to my parents, who are lifelong activists for a better world, to my sister who taught me most of what I know about how to organize politically, and to my whole large Bay Area extended family of activists and musicians. Since you asked, I do also appreciate my pets, a dog, a cat and, insanely, 10 chickens, and the wild food forest that is our backyard.

Tree Feller Crushed by Falling Tree--Virginia
A 45-year-old male tree feller (the victim) was killed when a falling tree struck him from behind. A crew of five men were clear-cutting a tract of hardwood timber for a lumber yard. Four of the men, including the victim, were limbing fallen trees. The fifth man was operating a feller/breacher. The feller/breacher was a diesel-powered machine equipped with hydraulically powered jaws to grasp a tree, and a 30-inch chain saw that was rotated hydraulically through a tree to fell it. The jaws were then rotated to lower and drop the felled tree at a desired location. As the feller/breacher operator began to make a cut on a 26-inch diameter hollow tree, the chain flew off the bar. The operator backed the machine away and, with the help of the other workers, put the chain back on the bar. The operator then pulled the machine back up to the tree and attempted to make a cut on the opposite side of the tree. The chain saw had cut into the tree approximately 6 inches when the chain flew off a second time. As the other workers were putting the chain back on the bar, the victim walked 45 feet out in front of the partially cut tree and began to limb a previously felled tree. Although the day was not particularly windy, a gust of wind arose and the workers, hearing a loud snap, looked up to see the tree rotate 180 degrees on its stump and fall toward the ground. As they watched the tree fall, the workers saw the victim's blue helmet through the branches. The victim, unable to hear their warnings because he was operating his chain saw, was crushed by the falling tree. NIOSH investigators determined that, to prevent future similar occurrences, employers should:
develop, implement and enforce a written safety program which includes safe work procedures for all tasks performed by workers, including felling and limbing trees
provide worker training in recognizing and avoiding hazards, including environmental and weather conditions
designate a qualified person to conduct periodic safety inspections.
On August 25, 1992, a 45-year-old male tree feller (the victim) died after being struck by a falling tree. On September 14, 1992, officials of the Virginia Occupational Safety and Health Administration (VAOSHA) notified the Division of Safety Research (DSR) of this fatality, and requested technical assistance. On September 23, 1992, a DSR safety specialist traveled to the incident site to conduct an investigation. The incident was reviewed with company representatives, the VAOSHA compliance officer, and the county sheriff and coroner. Photographs of the incident site taken immediately following the incident were obtained during the investigation.
The employer in this incident was a logging company that specialized in hardwood timber logging. The company had been in operation for 25 years and employed 6 loggers. The company had no written safety program, safety policy or safe work procedures. The men were verbally instructed by the company owner in safe work procedures and were provided with uniforms and personal protective equipment (PPE) such as helmets and face guards. One of the standard operating procedures prohibited work being performed forward of the felling line, the area in front of the feller/breacher and trees being felled. The victim had worked for the company for 19 years. This was the company's first fatality.
The employer had been contracted by a local lumber yard to clear a tract of hardwood timber. Four fellers, including the victim, and a feller/breacher operator were performing work at the site. The feller/breacher was a diesel-powered machine equipped with hydraulically powered jaws to grasp a tree, and a 30-inch chain saw that was rotated hydraulically through a tree to fell it. The jaws were then rotated to lower and drop a tree at a desired location. Once a tree was on the ground and the feller/breacher advanced, the other crew members would move in behind the machine and limb the tree.
On the morning of the incident, the four fellers began limbing trees that had been felled the previous day. At 9 a.m. the feller/breacher operator positioned the machine to fell a 26-inch-diameter hollow tree. Shortly after the chain saw began its cut, the chain flew off the bar. Although the feller/ breacher and chain tension were properly maintained, the extremely hard callous and scar material that had formed inside the tree to isolate the interior rot from the remaining live material caused the chain to fly off the bar. The machine operator released the hydraulic jaws and backed the machine away from the tree. After the feller/breacher operator and his crew replaced the chain on the bar, he repositioned the machine and began a second cut on the opposite side of the tree. Again, shortly after the cut had begun, the chain flew off the bar. The operator backed the machine away from the tree a second time and began to replace the chain. While the four men were working on the chain, the fourth feller (the victim) walked 45 feet to the front of the partially cut tree and began to limb a felled tree, although there were trees behind the felling line that had not been limbed.
As the workers were placing the chain on the bar, they felt a gust of wind, although the day was not particularly or constantly windy, and heard the partially cut hollow tree snap. As the tree rotated 180 degrees on its stump and began to fall, the workers noticed the victim's blue work helmet through the branches. The co-workers shouted warnings, but the victim did not hear them because he was operating his chain saw. The falling tree struck the victim and crushed him.
The coroner listed the cause of death as a fractured skull.
Recommendation #1: Employers should develop, implement and enforce a written safety program which includes written safe work procedures for all tasks performed by workers, including felling and limbing trees.
Discussion: All tasks performed by workers should be evaluated to identify the hazards associated with each task. Once these hazards are identified, employers should then develop, implement, and enforce a written safety program addressing these issues as required by OSHA standard 29 CFR 1926.21(b)(2). Additionally, procedures should be developed that would direct worker activity during machine downtime. In this incident, the victim deviated from the company's standard operating procedures, which were communicated verbally, by walking in front of the cutting line to limb a tree while his co-workers replaced the chain on the bar. Workers should continually be reminded that standard operating procedures are developed to enhance their safety and should be followed at all times.
Recommendation #2: Employers should provide worker training in recognizing and avoiding hazards, including environmental and weather conditions.
Discussion: In this incident, the victim apparently did not recognize the potential hazard of walking in front of the tree line and was fatally injured. Once all potential hazards, including environmental and weather conditions such as wind and wet ground are identified, employers should provide worker training in the recognition and avoidance of these hazards.
Recommendation #3: Employers should designate a qualified person to conduct periodic safety inspections.
Discussion: To ensure that workers, particularly new employees, are performing their assigned tasks in the safest possible manner, scheduled and unscheduled safety inspections should be conducted at job sites. Any potential hazards or improper work practices which are identified should be immediately corrected. Such inspections demonstrate to workers that their employer is committed to the prevention of occupational injury.

Пантелеймон Иванович Георгадзе (; 17 августа 1925, с. Гоми Самтредского района, Грузия — 3 марта 2009, Тбилиси) — грузинский политический деятель. Председатель Единой коммунистической партии Грузии с 1992 года. Отец политика Игоря Георгадзе.

Биография
Учился на горном факультете Грузинского индустриального училища. В 1948 году окончил Алма-Атинское пограничное училище, в 1959 году — Военный институт КГБ при Совете министров СССР, в 1973 году — Военную академию Генерального штаба Вооружённых Сил СССР имени Маршала Советского Союза К. Е. Ворошилова. Заместитель председателя—секретарь Совета СКП-КПСС с 26 января 1997 года, сопредседатель Народно-патриотического союза Грузии.

Во времена Михаила Саакашвили Гиоргадзе и возглавляемая им партия выступала с резкой критикой. В 2006 году Гиоргадзе отметил: «Президент Саакашвили и его команда — это кровожадные неофашисты. Они являют собой проамериканское, пронатовское, протурецкое, проевропейское, но никак не прогрузинское направление политики».

В 2006 году в доме Пантелеймона Георгадзе был проведён обыск во время спецоперации полицейских сил по аресту сторонников его сына. В ходе операции, проходившей по всей стране, были проведены обыски и аресты родственников Игоря Георгадзе и десятков его сторонников. У самого Пантелеймона Георгадзе полиция изъяла наградное оружие — пистолет, подаренный Фиделем Кастро. По словам Георгадзе, члены компартии подвергаются репрессиям со стороны властей.

В августе 2007 года провёл в Цхинвале встречу с представителями осетинской общественности, делегацию которых возглавляли академик Нафи Джусойты и Таймураз Хутиев. На встрече Георгадзе заявил: «Встреча показала, что мы едины в нашем стремлении к миру. Осетинский и грузинский народы устали. Устали за восемнадцать лет войны. Мы убедились, что осетины всей душой хотят мира. Они не хотят при этом режиме жить в составе Грузии». В 2007 году награждён Орденом дружбы Южной Осетии.

Умер 3 марта 2009 года в Тбилиси.

Allen Walton has built a fast-growing business around keeping his customers calm.
No, he's not a yoga teacher or the inventor of the next Headspace. Allen, 30, is the high-energy founder of Spy Guy, an online store based in the Dallas area that sells spy cameras.
Once an $11-an-hour retail clerk in another spy camera store, Allen tapped into what he learned about spy equipment to create his own business. And in 2017, Spy Guy reached $1.8 million in revenue—and turned a profit.
That makes him somewhat unusual. For 42 percent of small businesses, cash flow was a top concern for 2018.
The average small business has tucked away just 27 days' worth of cash as a cushion—and many have even less. And these companies don't have a lot of money to run out of after they've paid their overhead. In fact, the median daily bank balance is just $12,100.
So what's Allen's secret to bucking the trend?
We chatted with Allen to understand what he's doing to make sure his company doesn't burn through cash as it grows—and how you can follow the same steps.
Wait, does this story apply to me?
If your business is growing and the money is rolling in, you may not think cash flow is a potential problem. Think again.
Running out of cash is a common reason people go out of business—especially if they're just starting out and don't have much access to credit.
It's hard to stay on top of cash flow if you keep sloppy books. And let's face it—many entrepreneurs do, unless they have bookkeeping or accounting training. Even if you are meticulous, it's easy to fall behind or spend time on bookkeeping that you should be investing in bigger-picture tasks, like bringing on clients.
Allen avoided this problem by hiring a bookkeeper as a contractor. "I was paying to get my time and energy back," he says.
First, it's important to know the difference between a bookkeeper and an accountant. A bookkeeper helps record your company's financial information, while an accountant analyzes that data. Allen recommends hiring a contract bookkeeper because that will make it easier to work with an accountant.
Is their work accurate? Knowing where your business stands financially on a monthly basis will be crucial to your success.
Do they complete their books on time each month? A bookkeeper who is always behind schedule—a common problem—is going to create headaches for you when tax time approaches. That's because you won't be able to provide your accountant with needed documents, such as a current profit and loss statement.
Can't afford to hire someone to do your books? There are many bookkeeping firms that will be happy to unburden you. Ask around among business owners in your industry for a referral. Or look for one on an established platform, such as Upwork or Freelancer.
In the past six months, Allen has spent a lot of money. He worked with a design and development company to redo the company's website, as well as a branding and graphics contractor to rethink Spy Guy's image, position, and identity.
All told, he estimates he spent just over $50,000 for the rebrand and website. He invested another $15,000 for a new domain. He also has a video editor on retainer as the site builds out its video marketing.
To pull it all off, "I did have to think about cash flow a lot over the last half year," says Allen. One tactic that helped him maintain his money reserves was making milestone payments to each vendor, instead of paying for each project in one swoop.
"Fortunately, both of them broke the total bill into three payments so it was easy to plan out," says Allen.
How can you do the same thing? First, understand these two, often-confused terms.
Milestone payments: This is when your payment plan is tied to achievements, which are outlined in the contract. So if you hire architects, they would be paid when they submitted the plan to the city or received the permit.
Progress payments: These are made when a percentage of your project is completed, and they're not connected to hitting any milestones. If you have a six-month project, progress payments could be broken down into six payments, each made at the end of the month.
Payment #1: This was for the road map, which charted out what the site would look like and all the steps needed to get there.
Payment #2: This was for designing the site and approving everything.
Payment #3: This was for coding the site and troubleshooting any issues.
Consider negotiating either milestone or progress payments to help you conserve more cash, just like Allen.
Allen was able to cover the cost of his redesign and rebranding without going into hock by tapping his profit account. Each year, he allocates three percent of revenue to this account.
As Mike explained his recommendation to limit spending to what is left over when the profit is in place, says Allen, "I really took to it." He soon started working with an accountant trained in Profit First accounting.
In Profit First accounting, Mike puts forth a system in which business owners switch their mindset from thinking about profit as sales minus expenses and instead take the approach that sales minus profit = expenses. They take a predetermined percentage of profit from each sale first and set aside only the remainder for expenses.
So if you own a furniture store and just sold a recliner, you would take out a certain percentage—say 60 percent—and tuck that away into a separate account. Then you could use the 40 percent that's left over to pay for your expenses.
What Allen loved about the Profit First system was how Mike prioritized setting aside the profits of a business before spending any money. It's a similar approach to making sure you put aside your retirement savings before spending money on a splurge at the mall or a vacation—you know you've paid yourself first.
To make sure he found an accountant who was simpatico with this approach, he soon started working with an accountant trained in Profit First accounting, to whom he was referred by Mike's company. "It's been awesome ever since," says Allen.
By maintaining his profit account religiously, Allen has not only been able to make payroll without cash flow problems but is hiring two content marketers to build out his blog and other resources. "I had a specific bank account I was funneling a percentage of top-line revenue into to pay for all this stuff," he says.
With his cash flow humming, Allen is now able to focus on his next goal without the anxieties about running out of cash or missing payroll that keep many entrepreneurs awake at night.
"Getting to $1 million wasn't difficult," he says. "Going from $1 million to $5 million is significantly harder." Then again, with the right systems in place to manage his cash flow, he's already gotten one of the trickiest parts under control.
