I am not my hair.
I am not this skin.
I am not your expectations. No, no.
I am not my hair.
I am not this skin.
I'm a soul that lives within.

Sometimes freedom comes in simple things.

For India.Arie, it's shaving her head or wearing a short Afro.

It means not conforming to societal standards that dictate hair is best when straight, long and flowing, said the Grammy Award-winning singer.

"I am a person who sparks the debate about what beauty is and what hair is. I want black women to make their own decision about what is beautiful,'' she said by phone.

Arie chronicles her transition from permed to natural hairstyles in I am Not My Hair, from her latest effort, Testimony: Vol. I, Life & Relationship. She also teamed with pop-rocker Pink to create another version of the song for the Lifetime television movie Why I Wore Lipstick to My Mastectomy. Ironically, Pink is known for nonconformist hairdos - from a Mohawk in candy pink to a spiky platinum blond.

For Arie, the processes to straighten or manage her naturally curly hair were many: press-and-curl (an iron comb heated on a stove), a Jheri curl and relaxers, which damaged her hair so badly she went natural, eventually wearing locks (commonly referred to as "dreadlocks,'' a historically derogatory term used to describe hair that was "dreaded'' or feared.

But Arie's next step toward freedom was a big one.

The night before she was to appear on The Tonight Show With Jay Leno, she shaved her head. It was a freeing experience."I have a mental clarity that comes with shaving my head. The attachment I had with my hair no longer has power over me anymore.''

Hair issues aren't exclusive to black women. Throughout history, women have struggled to find acceptance with hairstyles. Marie Antoinette shocked the world with her elaborate, supertall hairdo in the mid-1770s. Today, many women and celebs - from Beyoncé to Gwen Stefani - dye their hair blond when their natural color is much darker.

"This isn't just a black woman's issue. Nonblack women have hair issues,'' said anthropologist Paitra Russell, who wrote her doctoral dissertation at the University of Chicago on African-American hair practices. "The earliest straightening agents were aimed at white women. There are all kinds of personal issues that people give to straightening their hair. Hair is a place where people are negotiating all social roles. Social roles are being played out on women's heads.''

Arie's song is an inspiring personal journey to which many black women can relate as they transition to natural hairstyles - locks, Afros, braids or twists. Such styles have been part of the fashion scene for years on the East and West coasts. Celebrities from Arie and Jill Scott to Macy Gray and Alice Walker have popularized natural looks.

Only recently have Houston salons begun seeing a rise in the number of women choosing natural styles. Perhaps the increase is due to an availability of more stylists who specialize in natural hair. Maybe, some stylists say, women are tired of high-maintenance permed styles.Permed styles require regular visits to hair stylists for chemical touch-ups. Also, the sweat from exercise and humid, rainy weather can ruin a hairdo.

KHOU-TV anchor Debra Duncan knows what a bad hair day can be. In 1988, while working as a reporter in Austin, she covered an outdoor event when it began raining. "The producer whispered in my earpiece that my hair was shrinking and growing at the same time!'' she recalled.

Duncan is now wearing her hair naturally curly on air. She hasn't chemically permed her hair since 1985, but she would spend more than an hour flatironing it each morning. One particularly rainy and humid day, she was too tired to fuss with her daily ritual.

"I'm free of those things that can tie you down (like hair). Wearing my hair natural makes me feel funkier, and freer.

"It was a moment of confidence. I just wanted to get up and go,'' Duncan said. "I think I got 140 e-mails the first day. There were people who loved my hair and others who didn't. With women, people start off with whether they like your appearance and your hair, not your performance. If my job is to give the news, why is the most important thing my hair?''

The change saves her 25 hours a month, Duncan said, time she can spend with her 2-year-old son and her husband.

Duncan's decision to go "natural'' is not unlike the statements about freedom blacks made during the 1960s by wearing Afros. Today, however, the freedom is a personal - not political - one.

"In the 1950s and '60s, there was definitely a conforming pressure for black women to straighten their hair,'' Russell said. " We got the message that something was wrong with our hair in its natural state. Our moms and grandmothers believed if you had straightened hair things would be easier, and who doesn't want things easier for their children?

"Now there's a celebration of being different.'' We're focused on the individual where people are looking to be happy. Going natural speaks to that personal freedom.''

About empowerment

Every two weeks, Mamie Ewing's routine was the same: She sat for hours in a salon for a wash and set.

Every six weeks, she got a perm to keep her hair straight and a color treatment to hide the gray. Her monthly bill was easily $100. That's what professional black women did, she believed.

When her husband, Robert Ewing, died in 2002 and she retired from her job, Ewing was eager for a change.

The process of going natural can take months as women wait for their hair to grow out enough to cut the permed portion off.

Ewing didn't want to wait, so she cut hers off, leaving only an inch or two to turn into small twists.

"I felt free that first day. I didn't realize how much I was a slave to my hair,'' said Ewing, 67, who had permed her hair for 40 years.

Not since the 1960s, when she was called "militant Mamie'' for wearing an Afro, had Ewing felt so empowered. She now visits her stylist, Tonya Reed of Uncle Funky's Daughter in Rice Village, only every six weeks to get her twists tightened.

"I really wished I had done it when I was working because it's so much easier,'' Ewing said. "It does say something about you when you embrace your own culture.''

Starting with tools

In the early 1900s, Madam C.J. Walker popularized the use of the hot comb to straighten hair - also known as the press-and-curl style - and taught women how to use it. She began selling Madam Walker's Wonderful Hair Grower, a scalp conditioner, and other hair-care products. She became the first self-made American woman millionaire, according to the Guinness Book of World Records.

She was critized for encouraging black women to "look white.''

By the mid-1950s, George E. Johnson, founder of Johnson Products, developed a chemical permanent hair straightener for home use. This gave many women the freedom to chemically straighten their hair without going to a salon. By the 1960s, natural hair - particularly Afros - had become a symbol of defiance in the nation's civil-rights movement.

In the 1980s, more black women climbed the corporate ladder and wore straightened styles considered acceptable for the business culture. Natural hair, as it had been throughout history, was viewed as unprofessional, rebellious and even bad.

For those women, the texture of their hair was as important as the color of their skin. "I don't foresee a time when straightening hair won't be a standard,'' Russell explained. "We as a society are judged by the straightness of our hair.''

Helping others

Natural hairstyles worn by Qhiijah Sheryl James weren't unusual in her native Jamaica. There, Afros, locks and braids are as common as straight styles in the United States. So it was shocking when James moved to Houston as a teen and was derogatorily called "Whoopi'' or "Tracy,'' referring to actress Whoopi Goldberg and singer Tracy Chapman, who both wore locks.

"I was the only one in school with a short Afro. There were no other celebrity images of natural hairstyles, and there weren't many resources to help you take care of your hair,'' James said.

Now James owns Back to Naturel, a natural-hair salon in northeast Houston. She also has written a booklet, the Pocket Guide to Natural Haircare, to educate her customers about natural hair.

"Some people might get frustrated with the process because it takes time to restore your hair to its natural state. And natural hairstyles aren't maintenance-free,'' James said.

"People think their hair will be hard and tough, but that's not true if you take care of it.''

James said finding the right products takes time. She uses products by Keracare, Wild Growth and Proclaim. But there are many others.

Tonya Reed of Uncle Funky's Daughter suggests Taliah Waajid's Black Earth shampoos and conditioners, and Carol's Daughters Hair Milk and Hair Butter.

Both warn against using products with mineral oil or beeswax, since they don't completely moisturize the hair.

Reed said many women don't know what their natural hair looks like because they have had perms since they were children. Once they make the transition, she said, customers often wonder what took them so long.

While natural hairstyles may not be for everyone, women who go that route say they have a new sense of who they are.

"With maturity sometimes comes a feeling that you don't care about what others think,'' said Duncan. "All that matters is how you feel, and I feel free.''

Kyrie Irving NBA dribbling and crossovers

Hello everyone, today we will disassemble the crossover of one of the best masters of this business – Kyrie Irving.

The crossover is an ideal means to blow up and beat the rival.

We see that after a successful barrier from one of the partners in team Kyrie remains in private with the big player. By means of a fast contact it specially transports a ball a little forward and changes the direction of its rebound from a parquet so that the ball jumped aside not on the left hand any more, and on right. This moment is very important as a starting position for the rival exchanged. The defender begins to think that he is quite capable to beat out a ball from Irving. But there is a subtlety. Namely force with which Irving sends a ball to a parquet. Speed of a ball becomes much quicker, than at usual vision.

Pay attention to legs of the protected player. It is already turned under the right hand of Kyrie.

Now at such disposition of Kyrie shifts a ball from the right hand in left again and surely sends it to the purpose.

At a final rearrangement of a ball from right in the left-hand Kyrie Irving displaces the center of gravity and does not allow a ball to lift highly. It brings it a prize of fractions of a second which give it advantage before the opponent. He takes control of it the left hand at once and makes the movement towards a ring.

We hope that this video will help you to improve your skills. I remind that you can also find video with detailed analysis of the equipment of a throw of Kyrie Irving on youtube.

“Left Canton Iowa 4 Oclock AM April 24th, 1864. Arrived at DesMoin City at 10 PM Monday May 9th.”

“Camped by a pond near an encampment with others.”

“Stampede of horses at night.”

The diaries of John and Margaret Tomlinson recount the couple’s trek by wagon from Canton, Iowa, to the gold mines of Montana in August 1864. Four months earlier Montana had become a territory of the United States.

Some expected to make their fortunes panning for gold. John Tomlinson, who became known as the “mill man,” was bringing machinery to build a saw mill. He hoped to set up his business on the Yellowstone River and supply lumber for construction of boats to carry men and supplies up and down the river.

The Tomlinsons joined up with a wagon train. That’s when they saw their first prairie dogs and buffalo herds. Wolves howled at night as they camped along the Nebraska bluffs. During the daylight hours they passed markers with the names of men, women and children who had died before reaching their destinations.

Encountering a band of Indians, the travelers accepted the chief’s invitation to assemble into a circle and pass a pipe. Margaret was fascinated with a beaded cape worn by one of the Indian women. Entries in the Tomlinsons’ diaries mention Margaret suffering from an illness. “I was quite sick. Dr. Hull sent medicine,” she wrote on June 14. There was no mention of what ailed her, but the birth of her first child in April 1865 meant she was probably in the first few months of her pregnancy as she made her way across the prairie in the ox-drawn wagon.

At one point two women were almost killed when fighting dogs incited a horse stampede. The wagon train decided to break into two different groups. The one for dog owners was called the “dog train.” The Tomlinsons wrote that there were “no hard feelings” over the situation.

When the Tomlinsons reached their destination on the Yellowstone River in Montana Territory, they and other Iowa emigrants began to build a town they named Yellowstone City. They built cabins out of logs, with layers of pine poles, topped with soil and grass as roofs. The floors were bare dirt, sometimes carpeted with fresh elk skins.

The settlers quickly enacted written laws. But they revised them “almost every day.” The new laws offered “ample protection” for the women of the settlement. Any man who dared insult a woman was dealt a “terrible punishment.” The nearby mines became known as Emigrant’s Gulch. Although the gulch was reported to be rich in gold, huge boulders made it almost impossible to mine. It was not easily accessible by pack mules, and men ended up carrying their provisions on their backs. Those who were lucky enough to find gold worked all day for $6 per man.

The mining season ended on October 20 in 1864 when ice formed in the sluice box. The miners headed into Yellowstone City. The winter of 1864-65 was a long, hard one. There were few supplies in the only store. And everything was expensive.A 96-pound sack of flour went for $28. Coffee cost $1 per pound, tea was $2 per pound. Tobacco was $5 per pound. The settlers paid carriers 37 cents for taking a letter from Yellowstone City 100 miles to Virginia City.

At one point there were two saloons in town, but one located in a tent had to close its flaps. Nobody wanted to drink there because the owner didn’t offer 40-rod whiskey. It got its name from miners who said it could kill a man from 40 rods. Some said it took its name from a unique recipe: 40 gallons made from one gallon of good whiskey mixed with strychnine.

No one got very rich at Emigrant’s Gulch. They could never overcome the problem of the huge boulders that blocked the miners’ access to the gold. As one miner put it, “There’s plenty of gold, if you could only get it.”

A Postcard's-Eye View of Historic Charlotte

Charlotte, like any major American city, is constantly changing. Buildings are erected. Buildings are demolished. Mary Lynn Morrill's collection of Historic Postcards provides a fascinating glimpse into Charlotte's evolving townscape. Many of these structures are gone. A few remain. Look at these images and take a trip back in time.

The Osborne Corner

This picture was taken sometime between 1891 and 1908. It shows the Osborne House, an early 19th century, Federal style dwelling that stood on the northwestern corner of the Square. Notice the blur of the trolley moving along Trade St. The building on the far left is the Selwyn Hotel that stood at Trade and Church Sts. New South industrialist D. A. Tompkins lived here for many years.

Charlotte Southern Railroad Station

Architect Frank Milburne designed this Spanish Mission style station soon after 1900. It stood on West Trade St. and the railroad tracks, about where the Bus Station presently sits. Milburne fashioned a series of stations in this style. Indeed, Salisbury still has and has restored its Spanish Mission style railroad station. Legend holds that President Woodrow Wilson once asked whether the Charlotte Station was fireproof. When told that it was, Wilson supposedly said, "What a pity." The building was demolished in 1962.

Charlotte Carnegie Library and Charlotte First Baptist Church

Architect James McMichael designed both of these buildings in the first decade of the twentieth century. The building on the right was the Charlotte Carnegie Library. Many Charlotteans remember sitting by the open windows in the main reading room on lazy summer afternoons, feeling the breeze brush across their faces. The building on the left was the First Baptist Church, now part of Spirit Square. Notice that McMichael liked domes. McMichael insisted that the Library, which was built second, be compatible in design with the church next door. Would that Charlotte architects remained so sensitive to the concept of streetscape.

Steward's Hall at the North Carolina Military Institute

This imposing edifice was built in 1859 at the southern edge of Charlotte as a dormitory and classroom building for the North Carolina Military Institute. It stood about where the Central Y.M.C.A. now sits. The Superintendent of the Institute was South Carolinian Daniel Harvey Hill. The school closed at the outbreak of the Civil War when the students went to Virginia to fight the Yankees. The building was later used as a public school. Notice that the postcard says that the building was used as a prison for Federal troops during the Civil War. The building was demolished in the 1950's to make way for Independence Boulevard.

Charlotte Central High School

This building was home to thousands of high school students from the 1920's to the 1960's. Students remember teachers like Janet Robinson, a specialist in religion, Karl Sawyer, a mathematics teacher, and his brother George, who taught Biology. George was especially adept at dissecting frogs. And who could forget Mary Balle? She insisted that correct grammar be used. The building, which has been insensitively altered, is now used by Central Piedmont Community College.

Charlotte Memorial Stadium and Armory

Long before crowds gathered at Ericsson Stadium, throngs went to Memorial Stadium to watch football games, even professional teams. There was a professional football game going on when word arrived on December 7, 1941, that Pearl Harbor had been bombed. College games occurred here regularly. Johnson C. Smith University still plays some of its games here. The Armory Building eventually burned. The site is now occupied by Park Center.

Mayfair Hotel

The Mayfair Hotel was built at North Tryon and Sixth Sts. in the 1920's. By then homes along Tryon St. were beginning to give way to high rise buildings like this one. If you look at the very top of the Mayfair you will see a penthouse. The owner of the house that occupied the site before the building was erected insisted that he be given living space at the top of the hotel. The architect of the Mayfair was Louis Asbury, who fashioned many notable building across Charlotte and the region. Happily, the building still stands. It is now the Dunhill Hotel.

Alamo Plaza Hotel Courts

This 1950's motel was designed as "logo architecture." This means that all buildings erected by the company were the same. This allowed motorists to recognize the chain as they drove across the country. Clearly, buildings like the Alamo Plaza were reflective of the automobile era, when gasoline was cheap and folks wanted to drive their cars right up to the door. The Spanish Mission style Alamo Plaza, which stood on North Tryon St. when that was a major entryway into Charlotte, is no more. But we still have oodles of "logo architecture."

This site was created using a Macintosh Performa 6290 by Bruce Schulman. This site is maintained for the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Historic Landmarks Commission by Bruce R. Schulman.

cna training in Waynesboro VAThe length of a CNA training program depends on where the courses are completed. Some schools offer accelerated courses that last only a few weeks, while some can last as long as six months. In the end, the length of an ordinary CNA training program is substantially shorter than those of nearly all other medical occupations.

What Will I Learn?

Nursing Assistant training is split into two phases; Classroom theoretical instruction and hands on practical lessons. The classroom training is focused on anatomy, disease control, ethics, and healthcare terminology. Additionally, you will undergo comprehensive American Red Cross CPR training. The laboratory training will allow you to assist actual patients in real-life clinical situations. A few of the duties you are likely to perform are:

  • Taking and Recording Vital Signs
  • Positioning of Patients
  • Evaluating and Reporting Symptoms
  • Bathing Patients
  • assisting Patients with mobility
  • Feeding and Hydrating of Patients
  • Conversing with Patient and family
  • maintaining Records and Reporting to RN or LPN

What Goes On After I Finish CNA Training?
All 50 States require nursing assistants to pass a CNA certification test and be listed in the States’ registry. So after completing an accredited CNA training program you will need to take and pass a nationally accepted certification exam like the NNAAP. Next you’ll need to get listed in the Virginia Nurses Aide Registry. At that point you are going to be qualified to work at hospitals, long-term care facilities, home health care agencies, and any other facility that employs certified nursing assistants.certified nursing assistant training

How Much Can I Expect to Earn as a CNA

As reported by the U.S. Department of Labor’s Bureau of Labor Statistics the median wage for a Certified Nursing Assistant in the United States in 2010 was approximately $24,000 a year. This salary makes CNA’s some of the highest paid professionals in the medical industry who have not completed at least two years of schooling.

Pittsburgh, PA – If Room 321 of the David L. Lawrence Convention Center in Pittsburgh looks more like an art gallery Saturday than a meeting room, it is because the United States Mint will be displaying the 144 designs submitted as candidates for the Nation’s 2005-dated 5-cent coins (nickels). The occasion is the American Numismatic Association’s (ANA) World’s Fair of Money®, where thousands of coin collectors and dealers will gather.

UNITED STATES MINT ART GALLERY: The newly designed 2005 nickels will be the latest in the United States Mint’s Westward Journey Nickel Series™ that began in 2004 with the first nickel design change in 66 years. The final designs chosen for the 2005 nickels will be announced in a few weeks, but the United States Mint thought the public would enjoy seeing the many beautiful images submitted through the Artistic Infusion Program and by United States Mint sculptor/engravers.

The Westward Journey Nickel Series commemorates the bicentenniels of the Louisiana Purchase and the Lewis and Clark expedition. The second nickel of 2004, the Keelboat nickel, just went into circulation this month. The news media are invited to view and photograph the designs and to participate in a press availability in Room 321 with United States Mint Director Henrietta Holsman Fore on Saturday, August 21, at 12:30 p.m. – 1:30 p.m.

NICKEL LESSON PLANS: The United States Mint is providing free downloadable lesson plans about the Westward Journey Nickel Series. You may access the K-6 grade Keelboat and Peace Medal nickel materials, as well as the middle school and high school lessons, by clicking here.

VIRTUAL TOUR: The United States Mint is unveiling its new virtual tour that gives website visitors the opportunity to see how circulating coins are minted. The virtual tour includes the design process, the transfer engraving of images, the creation of dies and the production floor. Visitors may access the virtual tour at the United States Mint booth or online at the United States Mint’s website.

OUTSTANDING GOVERNMENT SERVICE AWARD: United States Mint Director Henrietta Holsman Fore is pleased to receive the Outstanding Government Service Award from the ANA. The service awards ceremony will be held on Friday, August 20, at 1 p.m., in Room 328.

OPEN FORUM: This is the public’s chance to tell the United States Mint what they think. Director Fore will hold an Open Forum for collectors, dealers and the public to discuss coin redesign and exciting new United States Mint products on Saturday, August 21, at 9 a.m., in Room 326.

UNITED STATES MINT BOOTH: The United States Mint’s large booth is number 103, located to the left of the main convention center entrance. The booth includes a Lewis and Clark backdrop and a huge revolving nickel display. Visitors may purchase an array of United States Mint products, including two-roll sets of the 2004 Westward Journey Nickel Series, the Lewis and Clark Bicentennial Silver Dollar and the 2004 United States Mint Proof Sets. The United States Mint Education Initiative is providing computers for children to enjoy its interactive Web pages.

INTERNATIONAL MINTS: Director Fore is President of the international Mint Directors Conference and will meet with directors of many of the world’s mints, who are attending the World’s Fair of Money.

Where did P.J .Fleck, football coach for the Golden Gophers, play College Football? (Factoid 1,119)

Date: 7/28/17
PJ Fleck Minnesota Golden Gophers Coach
(Image courtesy of Chicago Tribune.)

P.J .Fleck played wide receiver for the Northern Illinois Huskies. He played from 1999 to 2003 and was an excellent wide receiver.

As a senior, he led the Huskies with 77 catches for 1,028 yards and six touchdowns, a reception total that still ranks second on the school's single-season list. Fleck still owns the school record for career punt returns (87), is second in punt return yards (716), ranks third in career catches (179) and is fourth in receiving yards (2,162). He also played in the NFL for two seasons for the San Francisco 49ers, but injuries ended his playing career.

Fleck began his coaching career as a graduate assistant at The Ohio State University. He then went on to be an assistant coach both in College and the NFL. In 2013, the Western Michigan Broncos hired Fleck as their head coach. He went on to turn the Broncos from losers to winners. Last year he led the Broncos to a 13-1 season. Early last year we called him one of the hot coaching commodities in College Football. We were not wrong. On January 6, 2017 P.J. Fleck was hired as the new head coach of the Minnesota Golden Gophers. Let’s see how he does!

Investment Services

Colliers International's team of investment sales specialists sees beyond the bricks and mortar to analyze how property acquisition, ownership and disposition can accelerate the success of your financial portfolio.

We provide a single point of accountability and collaborate with specialists in a variety of service areas at each stage of the property ownership cycle:

1. Investment Strategy

Your real estate investment advisor is your strategic partner in achieving your financial goals. Property investments vary widely in returns, risk profile, the amount of hands-on attention required, development potential and liquidity. Therefore our first step in any engagement is to fully understand your objectives and requirements for an investment property.

We collaboratively build an investor profile based on your resources and requirements to ensure you see every suitable investment opportunity within your defined geographic target area. Then we pre-qualify each investment using financial modeling of projected performance and historical market data to calculate its current and potential value.

2. Acquisition and Due Diligence

Once a potential investment property is identified, we work through the property’s documentation to understand current and future contracts and obligations, risk scenarios based on lease expirations and deferred maintenance, and a thorough assessment of the property’s current management and performance.

Our valuation team brings fast, accurate, well-supported documentation to justify current property values, and we also take a big-picture look at market dynamics and how issues such as government regulation, infrastructure development and new construction can affect long-term values.

We also use lease auditing to uncover and capture potential revenue streams, which have proven to be game-changers for many of our investors by boosting the property's net operating income.

3. Ongoing Management

Our investment services professionals work with a skilled team of property managers to elevate a property's value and increase its return on investment. We work closely with experts in leasing, property management and project management to bring insight to this process, such as:

  • assessing whether improvements could save energy and reduce operating costs,
  • exploring whether changing vendors or services could improve tenant satisfaction, and
  • ensuring your property remains at the top of its competitive set to retain and attract tenants.

4. Disposition

Investment services professionals not only help you sell your property, but also help you determine the best time frame and process for this major financial move, taking into account potential tax ramifications and the market cycle to generate the strongest interest in your property.

Our disposition strategy is twofold: meeting your sale objectives, and targeted marketing.

First, we take into account your requirements for timing the sale, and your related objectives for placing the proceeds of the sale in other investments or another property. We supply in-depth market data to develop a competitive price based on your value target, and we determine an acceptable level of risk associated with various buyers to ensure your interests are protected in the purchase and sale agreement.

By planning a disposition strategy around these elements—speed, price and risk—we weed out unqualified buyers, reduce the possibility of retrades and capitalize on the strongest market demand.

Next, we create a go-to-market strategy that offers large-scale exposure through proprietary databases and distribution channels, minimizes disruption to current tenants, and includes a segmented approach to focus the highest-impact marketing techniques on the buyers who are most motivated and likely to pay the highest price.

Finally, our investment specialists handle the negotiation and due diligence process to anticipate and overcome obstacles, carefully track documentation, and ensure the property's sale transaction closes on time.

CRM Company makes Customer Service an Integral Part of CRM

Awesome Customer Service from a CRM?! Yes!!!

Businesses today are often guilty of giving lip service to customer service. What do I mean by this?  Well every business wants to provide quality service, but many believe this simply means answering the phone when a customer calls and being as helpful as possible in assisting them. Unfortunately, this simply is not the case anymore.  Customers have much different expectations today and if they do not have a good experience in dealing with your firm, they may not be a customer for very long. So what are customers looking for and how can you make sure you are exceeding their expectations?

Well for starters, customers do not want to be placed on hold waiting for the next representative to become available. They do not want to leave a message and wait for a call back and they do not want to send an e-mail and hope that someone addresses it in a reasonable time frame.  Just like you, they want answers to their questions and they want them now.

Commence Corporation, manufacturers of Commence CRM, has taken a proactive approach to helping businesses interact with their customers. There have always been a myriad of standalone help desk and call center applications available in the software industry. What differentiates Commence CRM is that the company has fully integrated the customer service functions with their CRM system.  What this means is that all authorized employees (i.e. sales, marketing, administrative and management) are provided with immediate access to customer inquiries or tickets as well as the customer’s service history. This allows every employee to access the information they need to deliver best-in-class customer service.

For customers, Commence CRM goes well beyond traditional offerings by providing an easy to use content management system with a built-in Knowledge base and a Frequently Asked Questions area, where customers can get answers to their inquiries 24/7 without needing to talk with or wait for a service representative to be available.  In addition, a web-based customer portal provides customers with the option to enter a service ticket if they are unable to find the answer they are looking for.  An automated response system provides them with the comfort of knowing that their inquiry has been received and that someone will be back in touch shortly.  It’s this level of functionality that differentiates Commence CRM from competitive offerings. For more information about Commence CRM visit or call Commence Sales at 1-877-COMMENCE.

One thought on “CRM Company makes Customer Service an Integral Part of CRM

  1. Great post and you’re spot on. Meeting customer expectations is critical to ensuring that you foster a long term business relationship with customers and the solutions for this have traditionally been stand alone systems. Commence is doing the right thing by integrating customer service with other CRM functionality.

About Us

California Common Cause (CCC) is a non-profit, non-partisan, grassroots advocacy organization. CCC serves as a vehicle to strengthen public participation and ensure that public officials and public institutions are accountable and responsive to all citizens. Through a powerful combination of grassroots organizing, coalition building, policy development, research, public education, lobbying and litigation, we shed light on issues that affect Californians at the local, statewide, and national level.

Our organization has been on the front lines of numerous hard fought battles to reform government and the political process. California Common Cause has led efforts to give ordinary voters a voice in their government, end the stranglehold of big money interests on politics, and put our democracy back into the hands of Californians.

In recent years some of our successes include:

  • In 2008, California Common Cause led the effort to pass Proposition 11, the California Voters FIRST Initiative, to reform California's redistricting process and secure a more fair representation for all Californians.
  • We have helped make voting more accessible by sponsoring and ultimately passing Online Voter Registration (Senate Bill 397) in 2011. Leading up to the November 2012 election, nearly 850,000 Californians registered to vote by utilizing this new online tool.
  • In 2012, California Common Cause championed Assembly Bill 1436, Election Day Voter Registration, eliminating one more barrier to voter engagement in the state.
  • California Common Cause also won a significant victory in the fight against political “dark money” in 2013 by revealing the identity behind an $11 million contribution from Arizona. The state levied a record $1 million fine on a pair of Arizona non-profit groups that pumped $15 million from hidden donors into two state ballot initiative campaigns in 2012.
  • California Common Cause also passed the Ballot Initiative Transparency Act in 2014, the landmark piece of legislation which updated the state’s 100 year old initiative process by giving voters more accessible information about who is behind each initiative, ensuring Voter Guides are easily understood, and allowing for legal flaws to be corrected in an initiative before it appears on the ballot.

Today, over 400,000 Common Cause members are working together across the nation to make government work for the people.  More members mean a stronger voice for the public in local, state and national politics.  If you're not already a member we invite you to join us in our quest for better government!

The Nike Air Monarch is undoubtedly one of the brand's most uncool sneakers, but it's also one of the best-sellers. Just like that, the Monarch has become a cult phenomenon. Sneakerheads have adopted them in an ironic fashion, with the hopes of trolling everyone into liking the Monarch. One of them has even gone as far as adding one of the most-hyped colorways to this silhouette in the form of a custom job.

Instagram user Geared Toward Gear, whose real name is Avery Ginsberg, decided to transform a pair of "white/navy" Monarchs into what amounts to a "Tiffany" or "Diamond" color scheme, first seen on the Nike SB Dunk Low and more recently on the ASICS Gel Saga.

It's easy to label this as a move to get attention, but Ginsberg assures that he's going to wear this pair into the ground. He brings up a point, though: Is the Monarch a clean sneaker that's merely disliked because it's worn by dads?

Watch the video below to make up your mind.

Silver Sands State Park

Access Point: Silver Sands Park Way, Milford, CT
Additional Information:

The park consists of 297 acres of beach, dunes, salt marsh, open areas and woods. The park offers facilities for swimming in Long Island Sound, picnicking, trails, boardwalks and opportunities for bird-watching. It includes the 14-acre bird sanctuary of Charles Island, which is rumored to be the site of Captain Kidd’s buried treasure.

The park land was acquired by the state after Hurricane Diane destroyed 75 homes there in 1955. The area includes the tidal channels of the Fletcher’s Creek and Nettleton Creek watershed and had been a local dumping site and landfill until 1977. Soil analyses have indicated the presence of heavy metal pollutants, probably due to the area’s use as a dump. In 1997, a project to restore the coastal wetlands along Silver Sands was approved. The park was renovated according to plans begun in 1990 by architect Alfredo De Vido and completed in 2000.

Business Proverbs

Apology: An Effective Customer Service Tool
by Steve Marr

One Saturday, Bill was running errands that included picking up dry cleaning and a picture that had been framed. At the dry cleaners, he found that the two suits he had dropped off had been misplaced. The counter clerk said, "Sometimes cleaning just gets misplaced. Come back on Monday, and we should have it sorted out by then." At his next stop, Bill was told that his framed picture was not ready because the framing material had not yet arrived. He was told that the order should be ready the following Saturday.

Unfortunately, in far too many businesses today, when a company falls short on product quality or service, their employees tend to shirk personal and organizational responsibility. Customers are told to come back later, or their concerns are met with a helpless shrug. Sometimes, the customer is even blamed for the problem. I used to have my prescriptions filled at a pharmacy that often ran short on medication and had to order additional supplies. Unfortunately they would never call to notify me when refills would not be available on time. The result for me was several wasted trips. The eventual result for the pharmacy was a lost customer.

We've all experienced frustration at one time or another as customers, and most of us have probably fallen short on a promise or a delivery of service to one of our customers. What makes the difference is how we respond when we mess up.

The first thing we must do when we discover that we've slipped up or our company has is offer our customers a complete and sincere apology. Although an apology would not have saved Bill the time he wasted running errands, he would have felt better if he had received an apology instead of simply being told to come back later. King Solomon said, "He who conceals his transgressions will not prosper, but he who confesses them will find compassion" (Proverbs 28:13, NASB).

Develop the habit of being quick with an honest apology when it's due and you'll gain the appreciation of many who would otherwise be frustrated and angry. See the situation from your customer's perspective, and then treat that customer the way you would want to be treated. Even if the situation is not your fault personally, be ready to offer your personal regrets on behalf of your coworkers or company. Though you may have done nothing wrong, to your customer you are their link to the problem and their hope for a solution.

Also, whenever possible, absorb the consequences of the mistake rather than asking your customer to pay the price. I went to pick up a suit one time from a clothing store and was told that the tailor was behind schedule and would need another day. Instead of asking me to come back, the sales man offered to drop off the suit at my office, giving me an excellent example of accepting responsibility even though he was not personally at fault. I have been a regular customer every since.

If you or your employees make a mistake, determine how your company can absorb the cost, in time and money. By paying extra shipping charges, if necessary, or making a delivery yourself, or reducing the price, you will demonstrate to your customers that your apologies are sincere and you really do value them as customers. King Solomon observed, "Fools mock at making amends for sin, but goodwill is found in the upright" (Proverbs 14:9, NIV). In other words, be quick to offer your customer an adjustment or take on the extra burden yourself.

Proposition 33, a ballot measure funded almost exclusively by car insurance magnate George Joseph, seeks to add a new criteria to calculating insurance rates: coverage history.

Daniel Palay from Consumer Watchdog takes issue with the fact that several of the purported real drivers, and real college students appearing in the Prop 33 ads are actually employees of the campaign's consultant, Marketplace Communications. Furthermore, Palay objects to the employees appearing without any disclosure.

"From what we found online and on the Marketplace Communications web site and Facebook, the actors are employees of the public relations firm hired to run the campaign," Palay said.

"And not only hired, but received more than $500,000 in the last seven or eight months to run this campaign," he added.

Consumer Watchdog has filed a formal complaint with the Fair Political Practices Commission, of FPPC, although state law stipulates that actors must disclose their identity only when they receive a payment of $5,000 or more for their services.

Aruba Bar

Pier Approach Bournemouth BH2 5AA 01202 554 211

We say

Lounge on one of the swing seats on the terrace sipping a margarita as the sun sets over the sea and you almost could be in the Caribbean at this tropical-themed bar/café/restaurant. Inside it’s all wooden floors, palm trees and pretty lanterns with a parrot who flies freely around the bar, while outside you can watch the world go by on the pier below and on the beach. The cocktails are great, and the meze platter (£13) is a tasty way to soak up the booze. By day, it's a family-friendly place to chill and enjoy the view, but by night it turns into party city.

You say Average Rating ★★☆☆☆

Love it! ★★★★☆

I've been to Aruba on several occasions for parties and with family. As a lunchtime or midweek evening meal it's lovely. It is quite expensive compared to some places, but it's like sitting in the Carribbean and with the view and setting on a lovely day it's brilliant.

Of an evening, especially if you have younger children, it's not the best place to go. And I would avoid it at the weekend late it is used for partying- a bit like a bar/club!

But overall- the atmosphere and and drinks it's fab!

Aruba Bar reviewed by on April 11th, 2012

Good and bad ★☆☆☆☆

This bar might be in a fantastic location looking straight out to sea, but head here on a Saturday night at your peril. It gets so crowded that navigating your way around the bar to get to the toilet becomes an impossibility. Also, maybe I'm not the typical clientele, but if you want to see a bunch of girls who look like TOWiE rejects, and a load of rugby boys touching them up, then this is the place for you! Seriously, if anyone had come in with a naked flame, I swear most people would've either melted or combusted. Plastic and chemicals? Not with my vodka cheers.

Apply ReelX Directly To Your Fishing Reels And GearThe best thing to happen to your fishing reel since you took it out of the box!

ReelX is the new, hi-tech, extreme-pressure optimized reel lubricant that virtually eliminates wear, disrupts existing corrosion and prevents new corrosion or rust from forming. ReelX is the perfect choice for all spinning and casting reels.

A Breakthrough Lubricant

Starting with the revolutionary CorrosionX core technology, we added a package of extreme pressure additives specifically engineered to make your fishing reels achieve their ultimate performance. ReelX contains no wax, tar, silicone or other solids, so it will never gum-up.

lubrication testLike all CorrosionX products, because of Polar Bonding ReelX sticks to metal like a magnet,so it cannot be easily displaced by pressure, friction or moisture. It lubricates under extreme loads and high temperatures. And not only does ReelX lubricate better, because it is binded to metal on the molecular level, it lasts many times longer than conventional fishing reel lubricants!

ReelX will outperform any other lubricant on a fishing reel – period. And we back that with a 100% Money Back Guarantee.

  • Improves reel performance
  • Displaces moisture
  • Stops/Prevents rust and corrosion
  • Will Not Harm Plastic, PTFE or Monofilament
  • The choice of the U.S. Longcasters Team (with ReelX, the longcasters are able to achieve casts that routinely exceed 260 yards as measured by laser, accurate to withing +/- 1/2").

Used by many of the world's top reel manufacturers, including:

  • Accurate Fishing Products
  • Bauer Premium Fly Reels, Inc
  • Okuma Fishing Tackle Corporation
  • Penn Fishing Tackle Manufacturing Company
  • Shimano
  • Zebco, a division of Brunswick Corporation

Corrosion Protection and Rust Preventive Coating

Due to Polar Bonding, ReelX causes common metals and metal alloys such as iron, steel, stainless steel, aluminum, copper, brass, bronze, etc. to chemically behave more like noble metals (such as gold and platinum, which don't oxidize). In other words, as long as ReelX is present on metal, it can't rust or corrode! ReelX also has a high dielectric characteristic, so it's safe on electronics and completely shuts down electrolysis between dissimilar metals.

To learn more about Polar Bonding and our unique Fluid Thin Film Coating (FTFC) technology, please visit our technology page.

Minimal Environmental Impact Product

The volatile organic content (usually abbreviated as VOC or VOCs) of ReelX is ZERO. Compare that to most products in the reel oil and spray lubricant categories, which can be as high as 50% or more VOC. That means ReelX is not only gentler on the environment, but it's also gentler on you and your equipment as well.

"I've tried them all, but ReelX is the best. Casts are longer, gears are quieter, smoother, and no more rust or corrosion."
Carroll Hagood
ranked among the Top 100 bass pros in the world

Agile Design and Modeling for Advanced Object Design with Patterns

4 days. probably 9:00-17:00

This popular, high-impact, and hands-on course on mastering advanced object-oriented design (OOD) and design patterns (primarily the “Gang of Four” design patterns) with agility is aimed at architects and developers of OO systems, You will learn to design with patterns, apply visual modeling in an agile modeling approach, and a suite of related advanced design topics, including the design of packages. This course is based on acclaimed industry leader Craig Larman’s extensive experience coaching and applying OOD since the mid 1980s.

In this intensive seminar there is some lecture time, but the majority is spent in small teams at vast whiteboard spaces while the coach rotates and works with each team, guiding them through the case study problems. The course proceeds through a series of case studies within which you learn design pattern skills. Other education methods include rotation reviews, multi-modal learning, and pair learning. These skills are applied repeatedly in several iterations of the case studies, as we go deeper, reinforce knowledge, and illustrate iterative and evolutionary development. New design patterns are introduced incrementally across the iterations.

Object-oriented (OO) design patterns are a critical skill of successful developers to support design agility. Various studies indicate that after initial release of a software system, at least 50% of effort and cost is spent in modification. To save money, it is skillful and economic to take a long-term view of product development and invest in simple, clear and extensible designs that reduce these costs.

You will leave this workshop with deeper skill to apply patterns and create quality designs that have agility – that support reduced modification costs and increased comprehensibility, and hence support business agility.

At least six months full-time hands-on object-oriented programming experience.

Upon completion of this course, students should be able to:

  • design flexibly with patterns (primarily, the “gang-of-four” design patterns)
  • learn and collaborate with agile modeling
  • design good type (class) hierarchies
  • learn and collaborate with simple UML
  • apply refactorings to patterns (Kerievsky)

  • agile modeling
  • domain modeling
  • exploring together the GRASP principles: Information Expert, Creator, Facade Controller, Low Coupling, High Cohesion, Polymorphism, Pure Fabrication, Indirection, Protected Variations
  • SOLID principles
  • class hierarchy design
  • introduction to design patterns for object-oriented development & architecture
  • exploring together: Adapter, Proxy, Decorator, Abstract Singleton, Simple Factory
  • exploring together: Strategy, Composite, Policy
  • exploring together: Command, Memento, Command Processor
  • exploring together: Observer, Template Method
  • exploring together: Abstract Factory, Factory Method
  • exploring together: State
  • exploring together: Facade, Bridge, Builder, Chain of Responsibility
  • exploring together: Iterator, Interpreter, Mediator, Prototype

Craig Mackinlay MP calls on the Government to do more to end the problem of pavement parking

Craig Mackinlay MP attended a Guide Dogs event at the House of Commons on 3 July to show his support for the campaign to end problem pavement parking.

At the event, Craig heard from guide dog owners how parked cars blocking the pavement force them to walk in the road, into the path of traffic they cannot see. They heard that some guide dog owners face these dangerous situations on a daily basis, risking their safety every time they go shopping or make the school run.

Research by YouGov for the charity Guide Dogs shows that 54% of UK drivers admit to parking on the pavement, with more than a quarter (29%) of those doing so a few times a month or more. More than half (55%) of these drivers do think about the impact on people with sight loss, but park on the pavement anyway.

Pavement parking particularly affects people with visual impairments, parents with pushchairs, wheelchair users and other disabled people. According to a Guide Dogs survey, 97% of blind and partially sighted people have encountered obstacles on the pavement, and 9 out of 10 have had problems with pavement parked cars.

Guide Dogs is campaigning to make pavement parking an offence, except in areas where local authorities grant specific exemptions. This is already the case in London, but elsewhere across the country, councils struggle to tackle unsafe pavement parking because they can only restrict it street by street.

Craig commented:

“Improving access for disabled people is a key priority for the Government and I know that ministers have written to councils on several occasions, encouraging them to use their available powers to prevent parking on the pavement where it is a problem.

“But vehicles parked on pavements are still causing particular problems for people with visual impairments, and also to those in wheelchairs or with pushchairs.

“Blind and partially sighted people should be able to walk the streets without fear, which is why I’m supporting Guide Dogs for the Blind in calling on the Government to do more to end the problem of pavement parking across the country.”

James White, Senior Campaigns Manager at Guide Dogs, commented:

“Pavement parked cars can turn the walk to work or trip to the shops into a dangerous obstacle course. It’s a nuisance for anyone, but if you have a visual impairment or a toddler in tow, stepping out into the road with moving traffic is just too big a risk.

Our research shows that most drivers who park on the pavement know that it can be dangerous for pedestrians, but many do so regardless. That’s why we need clear rules so that drivers only park where it’s safe.

Back in 2015, we were encouraged when the Government committed to find a solution to this problem. We hope that they will now follow up with a law to curb unsafe pavement parking.”

Can someone recall the source of this Popperism?

I suggest that much confusion is due to the tendency of attributing to Science (with a capital S) a kind of omniscience and I suggest that this theological view of science ought to be replaced by a more humanistic view, by the realization that science is the work of ordinary humans, groping their way in the dark.

Passion Killer

Well it may of been foolish to take Connor with me, but i didn't want go on my own so i dragged the poor soul along. You can see how much he enjoyed himself! That photo was took with my new phone which has a rather good camera.
It was a successful mission, i returned the two tops i bought a size or more too small and got their larger cousins, which fit me and look nice (i bloody hope anyway). I also got a pair of flip flops, black flat shoes, white and black pumps, stripy jumper, tankini, another bra, bag and i think that is it! I still have to get some things tomo, yes the day before i go.
When i got home i decided the hair needed a boost before my trip, i have to look my best, well try too. The hair dyes i pick always have some rather unique names, this time it is Red Passion.

Read more to see evidence of RED PASSION

Ha! now wouldn't that quash any passion! Whilst dying my hair (and ears), i also decided to puton a face mask. How much do you love my shower cap?

  1. Well, I see Claire's new avatar pic!

    Even with red ears, and that cute shower cap (snicker) -- you are a classic beauty!

  2. my word, you and connor scared the holy crap out of me red! yikes honey! you little banger...

    smiles, bee

  3. Heh! Two beauties...well one and a half

  4. Ermmmm....I see a definite influence of Manga here...interesting photo. Great use of light, colour and texture. You've captured the "scared deer in headlights" look perfectly too. What a great photographer you are and you must have suffered greatly to produce this work of art.

  5. Oh Ruth! Too funny!!!
    All I could think of was, what beautiful eyes you have. Good grief! The better to see you with...

  6. You're one step farther than I am-my roots (and gray hairs) are horrid!

    I have an excuse though-I ran out of hot water (for real) and so I'm waiting until I go to the beach to use the shower at that house instead!! Taking a bath in hair dye doesn't sound great to me!

    You're so pretty.

  7. I thought perhaps he had that look on his face because he got a look at you when you were taking that picture!

    You do have gorgeous eyes, though - no doubt about that!
