Turning Marketing Inquiries Into Sales Opportunities

Recognizing the Gold

Most “leads” generated by marketing are typically not highly regarded by salespeople and rarely receive follow-up. Most salespeople perceive that marketing inquiries are not qualified (which can be true!). The problem is that, although some leads are immediately qualified (normally 20-30%) and could eventually turn into sales, you just don’t know which ones are the “gold.” Although some inquiries represent potential short-term opportunities as “low-hanging fruit,” most of them are longer-term prospects. Yet salespeople mainly focus on the short-term opportunities to meet monthly/quarterly sales quotas and earn fast commissions. If leads are passed to sales that are longer-term opportunities, they will probably be neglected and, worse yet, lost to competitors.

There are many ways that companies handle the inquiries they receive:

  • Do nothing with them (surprisingly, more than 50% of companies receiving inquiries do nothing!)
  • Send a letter and literature
  • Send them directly to salespeople for follow-up (less than 20% will receive sales rep follow-up)
  • Marketing sets up a process to qualify inquiries and initiate the sales process

So, what Best Practices should marketing and sales establish together to maximize the potential of these inquiries?

1. Define the Program Goals, Objectives and Anticipated Success Metrics

Define the program goals consisting of a sales target (including number of sales and total estimated revenue generated) and a target for quantities of qualified leads, based on the number of leads that the salespeople can adequately manage. Develop an anticipated program ROI and use it as a reference point throughout the life of the program.

2. Determine Acceptable Lead Qualification Criteria

Salespeople know a good prospect opportunity when they get one. Marketing should take a proactive role in working collaboratively with sales management to understand the criteria they want to justify their engagement with a prospect. Incorporate this criteria into the qualification questions and establish a lead ranking system (Hot, Warm, Cool or A/B/C, Future Interest, etc.).

3. Develop a Compelling Value Proposition

Although the prospect has already raised his/her hand regarding your company’s product or service, after a few days he/she may not recall why they inquired with your company. They are certainly not expecting to be qualified further. They might have identified some business challenge that they are having which your product or service can solve for them. The compelling value proposition that generated the inquiry should now be reinforced in every communication with the prospect. The message should be brief and clear.

4. Develop an Inquiry Qualification Process

Marketing should be responsible for qualifying all inquiries they generate against the criteria established by sales. The Best Practice here is to initiate an outbound phone call within ten business days following the inquiry. Up to six attempts should be made to each prospect, ensuring that 70-80% of the inquiries are contacted. With a phone call, you can truly assess the interest and qualification level of the prospect, reinforce your brand and set appropriate follow-up expectations. A maximum of ten qualifying questions should be asked, including:

  • Needs–based questions that map to your compelling value proposition
  • Decision-making authority of who will be involved in the final decision
  • Size of the opportunity
  • Timeframe for making the decision
  • Has a budget been defined for the initiative?

5. Qualify All Inquiries Consistently and Only Send Qualified Leads to Sales

Inquiries are generated in various ways:

  • Website hits
  • Trade Publications
  • Trade Shows
  • Direct Mail
  • PR
  • Bingo Cards/Reader Response Cards
  • Inbound calls

Although some inquiries may be more qualified based on their source, the reality is that all sources contain qualified and unqualified prospects. All inquiries should be consistently qualified, so that salespeople have the confidence that every lead that they follow up is of consistent high quality. The perceived quality of the program is only as good as the last lead they have received.

6. Marketing: Nurture Yet-to-be-qualified Inquiries

During the qualification process, some prospects may meet most of the qualification criteria, but may lack one or two key elements needed to qualify them to go to the salesperson. If all the qualification criteria are not met, marketing should nurture the prospect until all criteria are met. This process includes additional predefined “touches” with mailings, emails, newsletters, direct mail, PR, phone calls and other media to keep your brand fresh and determine when the prospect is fully qualified.

7. Track and Measure Results

Tracking and measuring results provides a means for the salespeople to see communication history and action steps that have taken place in the lead qualification process. With that knowledge, the appropriate next steps can then be determined. In addition, the sales and marketing managers are able to measure the effectiveness of the program. If there is not an adequate tool in place (i.e. CRM), one should be acquired that delivers recognizable benefits to the sales reps.

n the summer of 1914, thirteen-year-old Oda von Siering (Paula Beer) leaves Berlin to join her family and an assortment of German and Russian aristocrats on an estate in Estonia. The von Siering family home is a character in its own right, a hulking, neoclassical manor that hovers on stilts above the sea. Oda arrives there bearing her mother's coffin and a gift requested by her surgeon father: a jarred, two-headed fetus to add to his laboratory of gruesome curiosities. Ebbo von Siering (Edgar Selge) sees himself in his daughter when she calmly and expertly learns to suture the corpse of a cat. What he fails to recognize - and what Oda luckily understands - is that their interest in science is their only similarity. His dedication to experimentation is linked to an appalling obsession with power and destruction, while Oda is genuinely curious about life. Her quick, quiet intelligence complements her humanity and her lucid understanding of right and wrong. When she strays from a family picnic and discovers a badly wounded Estonian anarchist, she helps him without a second thought, smuggling him into her father's lab and putting her new surgical skills to good use. As their illicit friendship deepens, family turmoil escalates and war closes in. The safe haven of the community collapses, forcing Oda's family to make impossible choices.

Are you in need of comfort?

by Debi Baker

Nowadays, my thoughts tend be jumbled and all too often turn to the thing that's consuming me the beautiful mama. She has lung cancer, stage 4. I barely can say the words! I can be in the best of moods and suddenly I find myself in tears. I am not ready to lose her! Now, I'm not saying God can't or won't heal her and give her more time on this earth! He most certainly is able! I have every confidence in my God to do His will concerning this issue! With that being said, I am struggling today. most days, I turn to the Word! Specifically verses that are comforting to those that are hurting! Today, I am sharing those verses with you. If I can find comfort in these verses, perhaps you will, too! And honestly, I don't think you have to be going through something to find comfort in them!

Please pray for me...and my precious mama and daddy...and I'll pray for you! If you have any prayer requests, please, put them in the comments and all of us here at Woman to Woman Ministries will pray for them!

Are you in need of comfort? Join us for some comfort from God's Word.

A few verses to comfort you:
Psalm 23:4 NIV
"Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me."

Isaiah 57:1-2 NLT
"Good people pass away; the godly often die before their time. But no one seems to care or wonder why. No one seems to understand that God is protecting them from the evil to come. For those who follow godly paths will rest in peace when they die."

Jeremiah 1:8 NLT
"And don’t be afraid of the people, for I will be with you and will protect you. I, the Lord, have spoken!"

Micah 7:7 NLT
"As for me, I look to the Lord for help. I wait confidently for God to save me, and my God will certainly hear me."

Matthew 5:4 NIV
"Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted."

4.6.7 The q element

Flow content.
Phrasing content.
Palpable content.
Contexts in which this element can be used:
Where phrasing content is expected.
Content model:
Phrasing content.
Content attributes:
Global attributes
DOM interface:
Uses HTMLQuoteElement.

The q element represents some phrasing content quoted from another source.

Quotation punctuation (such as quotation marks) that is quoting the contents of the element must not appear immediately before, after, or inside q elements; they will be inserted into the rendering by the user agent.

Content inside a q element must be quoted from another source, whose address, if it has one, may be cited in the cite attribute. The source may be fictional, as when quoting characters in a novel or screenplay.

If the cite attribute is present, it must be a valid URL potentially surrounded by spaces.

The q element must not be used in place of quotation marks that do not represent quotes; for example, it is inappropriate to use the q element for marking up sarcastic statements.

The use of q elements to mark up quotations is entirely optional; using explicit quotation punctuation without q elements is just as correct.

Here is a simple example of the use of the q element:

The man said <q>Things that are impossible just take
longer</q>. I disagreed with him.

Here is an example with both an explicit citation link in the q element, and an explicit citation outside:

The W3C page About W3C says the W3C's
mission is <q cite="http://www.w3.org/Consortium/">To lead the
World Wide Web to its full potential by developing protocols and
guidelines that ensure long-term growth for the Web</q>. I
disagree with this mission.

In the following example, the quotation itself contains a quotation:

In Example One, he writes <q>The man
said <q>Things that are impossible just take longer</q>. I
disagreed with him</q>. Well, I disagree even more!

In the following example, quotation marks are used instead of the q element:

His best argument was ❝I disagree❞, which
I thought was laughable.

In the following example, there is no quote — the quotation marks are used to name a word. Use of the q element in this case would be inappropriate.

The word "ineffable" could have been used to describe the disaster
resulting from the campaign's mismanagement.

Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center to Begin Construction in Davie County

West Campus Construction

Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center is about to begin construction on the first phase of its medical center in Davie County.

Consisting of an outpatient center and medical office building, the first phase is estimated to cost $79 million.  Approximately 200 jobs will be created by phase one, excluding construction jobs.

The complex will be named Wake Forest Baptist Health-West Campus. Site preparation has begun at the 88-acre tract on Hwy 801 at Interstate 40 near the Yadkin River.

The medical office building will be larger than originally planned.  It will be a four story, 60,000 square foot building containing physician offices.  Originally, the building was projected to be 35,000 square feet.

The outpatient center will be 101,000 square feet. The three-level building will contain an emergency department, outpatient surgery and diagnostic imaging.

"The increased size of the medical office building will enable us to meet more of the needs of residents of the Davie County, western Forsyth County and southern Yadkin County region," said John McConnell, M.D., chief executive officer of Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center.  "The larger size also is a reflection of the interest by a broad range of physicians in having full time offices in a convenient location for patients."

In describing the architecture of the buildings, McConnell said the design is contemporary and progressive while being open and airy with a friendly feel.  "The use of brick, stone and masonry reflects the architectural style on our main campus and other buildings while being compatible with the environment of eastern Davie County," added McConnell.

"The streams on the site meander between the footprint of the medical office building and outpatient center, making it a natural garden feature for the entire development," said Charles Auerbach, vice president of HKS, Inc., the architect for the medical center.  The buildings are joined by a connector that contains a common entrance lobby, said Auerbach.

HKS is working with Stimmel Associates of Winston-Salem, a landscape architectural and civil engineering firm, and Leach Wallace, a consulting engineering firm in Charlotte.

Summit Healthcare Group of Winston-Salem is developing the medical office building, which is expected to be completed in the summer of 2013.

The outpatient center is a more complex structure with specialized equipment. The building is scheduled for completion late next year.

"This is a special day in the history of Davie County," said Terry Bralley, president of the Davie County Economic Development Commission.  "Our citizens are being rewarded for their unwavering support and patience.  Today's announcement is a major step toward securing high quality health care for our citizens, without funds from taxpayers.

"The plans announced today for a larger medical office building are a statement of the confidence in and commitment to every citizen of this county," continued Bralley. "This project will be a catalyst for future residential and commercial development, bringing highly skilled jobs and professionals to our community."

Phase two of the plan includes the development of hospital beds, scheduled to be completed in 2017.

Wake Forest Baptist will close Davie County Hospital in Mocksville when the hospital beds are open.  Employees will be transitioned to the new hospital or elsewhere in the Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center system.

Summit Healthcare Group also is developing the commercial property on the site, called River Hill Commons.  Restaurants, shops, professional offices, banks and hotels have expressed interest in the development, said Joe Joseph, a partner at Summit.  "Interest is across the board in the commercial sector," he said, "and we expect more interest now that construction has begun."

A small army of PCSOs and police officers descended on Cwmaman this week aiming to brighten up the village and encourage residents to feel safe.

Two police officers and 12 PCSOs spent three days, from Monday to Wednesday, visiting hundreds of homes and local businesses to speak to people about what concerns them most about their community.

The initiative – dubbed Project 446, which is a partial reference to the area’s post code – is part of a wider campaign which aims to address a disproportionate concern for personal safety among the people in the area.

Statistics show crime is falling in Cwmaman, but a police survey revealed that young people in the area are more likely than anyone else in Rhondda Cynon Taff to fear crime and question their own personal safety.

Further research established that these concerns were being fuelled as much by environmental issues, such as graffiti and fly-tipping, as they were by people’s knowledge of drug abuse and dealing – issues that police suspect aren’t being reported.

In direct response to this, local authority street cleaning teams accompanied police officers and PCSOs during the operation, and were on hand to deal immediately with complaints about eyesores caused by fly-tipping, graffiti or criminal damage.

PCSOs Gareth Handy and PCSO Matthew Cartright in Cwmaman

Sergeant Anthony Moyle said: “We recognised that an apathy for engaging with the police existed among local people.

“Recorded crime levels may have been decreasing, but people were not happy and weren’t telling us about everything they knew or what concerned them.

“We took a closer look and it was clear that the area was untidy and neglected in parts. We also saw that some residents were choosing to dump furniture, litter and other unwanted items outside their houses and in the lanes. Because of this, people felt unsafe.

“Over the past few days, we have been out speaking to residents, and have listened carefully to their concerns. In some cases we were able to take immediate action and clear-up some areas which has been very well received.

“Our commitment will continue and residents will hopefully see and appreciate what is being done to make their community better,” he added.

This week’s operation kicked-off a sustained and concerted multi-agency action plan for the area which is being led by the neighbourhood policing team.

Officers have partnered with other key council departments such as housing and environmental services to affect long term changes which tackle the root cause of some problems.

Discouraging the resettlement of individuals with a history of drug related criminality or abuse, or anti-social behaviour, in Cwmaman, is one priority.

Anyone who would like to speak to their local police officer about the campaign, or who would like to discuss issues they may have, can contact Aberaman South PCSO Mike Williams on 07805301036 or Aberaman North PCSO Leanne Lacey on 07584 004319.

SCHOOLCHILDREN are on song to learn literacy skills after university students helped them to record a song they wrote themselves.

The group of songwriting youngsters from all over Gwent were taking part in a community-based literacy project - New Leaf - run by a lecturer and students from the University of Wales College (UWCN), Newport.

Six children aged between eight and 11 wrote Make My Day during sessions at Maindee Library in Newport on Tuesday evenings.

Senior education lecturer Caroline McLachlan said, "The children created the song with the help of professional songwriter Jay Ryan and several students from the university who are training to be teachers.

"They have got so much out of this project - it's been a fun and effective way to teach writing and reading skills."

Leah Morgan, 11, from Malpas, enjoyed the whole experience. She said, "We decided to make it a song about caring and sharing, which is what New Leaf is all about.

"It was very exciting singing into the microphone, and I was really proud when they suggested putting my voice on the main part of recording.

"My ambition is to be a songwriter. I'm always writing songs, and I've got a big book full of song ideas and lyrics."

Her fellow songwriter, Joel Fowler, was also enthusiastic about the project.

He added, "I was quite nervous making the recording, and had trouble remembering all the words, even though I helped to write them.

"I think our song is really good, better than some of the stuff in the charts.

"I quite fancy being a pop star now, like Gareth Gates."

Last week the youngsters went to Whiteoak recording studios in Crickhowell to lay down tracks for their CD.

New Leaf is a community- based literacy group for adults and children who have suffered a loss of confidence as a result of an inability to cope with literacy demands of home, school or work. School-age children are paired with UWCN students studying for Bachelor of Education degrees so that the trainee teachers can build up a relationship with an individual child and help find interesting ways to encourage reading and writing.

Trainee teacher Lindsey Tippings said, "Projects like this are what being a teacher is all about.

"I'm studying for my Post Graduate Certificate in Education at UWCN, and it's been a very rewarding experience working with the kids at New Leaf.

"They all chipped in ideas for the song and I think it's brilliant - it's got a catchy tune and good lyrics."

Microsoft Licensing and Server Virtualization

Are you planning to deploy VMWare Server, VMWare ESX, Mictosoft Virtual Server, HyperV or some other virtualization technology and have no idea where to start trying to figure out what licenses you need? Let me see if I can clear this up for you a little…

The topic of Microsoft licensing in a virtual server/machine environment is a topic of frequent discussion in the CITRT IRC channel, so I feel like I’ve become a bit of an expert by observance. The question came up again today on itDiscuss, so I decided to write it all down in one place and then chase down some links so we could have this documented once and for all.

Here are the basics:

  1. Windows Server Standard – One instance. Period. Do not pass Go. Do not collect $200.
  2. Windows Server Enterprise – One physical install + four additional virtuals
  3. Windows Server Datacenter – One physical install + unlimited virtuals**

To back up number two above, here’s a quote from an FAQ found on

Licensing does not depend on which virtualization technology is used. With a license for Windows Server 2003 R2, Enterprise Edition, you can run one instance of the software in a physical operating system environment and up to four instances in virtual operating system environments. With VMWare GSX Server, this means you can run one physical instance plus four virtual instances. With VMWare ESX Server, it means you can run four virtual instances because there is no need for a physical instance.

As you may have noticed from that quote, Microsoft is surprisingly platform agnostic in regards to which virtualization technology you choose (MS Virtual Server, VMWare, Xen, etc). For more information, checkout the whitepaper pubished last year titled Licensing Microsoft Server Products with Virtual Machine Technologies. Their indifference may have something to do with the many accusations and lawsuits they continue to face in regards to their monopolistic power. Regardless of the reasoning, it’s good news for everyone.

One rather important thing to keep in mind when thinking about licensing Microsoft Server products is that they are licensed per CPU socket, not CPU core. Can you say “THANK GOODNESS!”? This applies equally to VMWare ESX – you need enough HOST licenses of Windows Server to cover each physical processor socket in your ESX cluster.

It’s also important to keep in mind the fundamental differences in the various versions of Windows Server. For example, Server Standard (32-bit) is limited to accessing 4GB of RAM. This would likely be a non-issue for a guest install, but you certainly wouldn’t want to limit your Host box to that little memory. It’s not totally scary, just do your homework and you’ll be fine.

Microsoft has provided us with this handy little Licensing Calculator which should help you make sense of which version will be right for you and your implementation.

One final note (as denoted with ** above): Make sure you’re aware that with Datacenter Edition, you also need per-user or per-device CALs.

If anyone sees an inaccuracy in the information I’ve provided, please do leave a comment and I’ll update this post accordingly. Thanks to all the guys in IRC for helping compile and track down info, specifically, Tony Dye, Chris Green, and David Szpunar.

Doctor Who: THE POWER OF THE DALEKS, Animated - Episode 6 Review

. . No comments:
Tony’s found a soapbox. Which idiot let Tony find a soapbox?

If you empower monsters, you do not have the right to be surprised when they come for you as well as your enemies.

That seems to be the message of Episode 6 of The Power of the Daleks, which makes watching it in November 2016 a very sobering experience.

It’s the culmination of a story that, from the beginning, has been about people who want to use an unknown force for their own ends, and so feed it and turn it loose, convinced that they control it. Given that the force in question is the Daleks, let’s call that power what it is – the notion of racial purity, equipped with a screaming hysteria and a weapon.

It was written by David Whitaker as pure science fiction, relevant, at most, to the idea of not equivocating or excusing the racism of the Sixties (the era of the struggle for Civil Rights by African Americans), for fear of a slipback to the racism of the Thirties (out of which the notion of the Daleks was originally born). It feels strange to watch it now and have it be, if anything, more relevant, as the world of the Vulcan, previously stable but with underlying tensions between factions, dissolves into chaos and carnage, as Lesterson, and Janley, and more importantly Bragen, who used the Daleks to rise to political power, are swept up and destroyed by the power they’ve unleashed – along with countless other victims of Dalek bloodlust along the way.

In the world of Brexit and Trump, which has seen a sharp rise in incidents of racist violence in Britain after the referendum, and intimidation and violence against Muslims, Mexicans, LGBTQI people and women across the US being reported at sickening levels in the wake of the Trump election, Episode 6 of The Power of the Daleks stands as a warning to our times, just as much as it was in 1966. Unleash the forces of bigotry, give them power and try to use them to your advantage and they’ll give you what you want in the short term. But never fool yourself that you control those forces – they understand no notion of control. For Bragen, read Farage. Read Trump. Idiots who get what they want in the short term. But the Daleks and the forces of real world bigotry alike will run rampant, uncontrolled and deadly, just as soon as they have the power they need.

Enough political allegory. What’s Episode 6 like in terms of its storytelling?

Grim. Utterly grim. But also, if we’re absolutely honest, a little nonsensical – beginning with the Daleks rolling out to exterminate all humans, it almost immediately gives us a scene where Daleks, encountered by a group of humans, do nothing but act as traffic cops, directing them that the area’s restricted, and then, positively comically, turning to one another almost to gossip that ‘they will be exterminated.’ Clearly not if all the Daleks are as lackadaisical about the process as them. It’s a case of storytelling special pleading that allows our heroes to escape at the expense of logic and Dalek ‘characterisation.’ But let’s not kid ourselves – that’s one of less than a handful of dodgy moments in Episode 6 (the Doctor avoiding being shot by a Dalek weapon by the expedient of…erm…ducking being another). Seeing the tour de force of Daleks going extermination-crazy, gliding down corridors, killing everyone they encounter, is chilling – possibly even moreso in the animated version because the idea that there’s nothing to reason with in the Dalek façade comes across more clearly in two dimensions.

Perhaps the most sickening expression of the power of the Daleks is the daisy-chain of dead bodies strewn on the corridor floor, with Janley most noticeable – past which a Dalek glides, entirely unmoved. Similarly, the death of Lesterson, who by this point has come to regard the Daleks as they view themselves, a superior species who will out-survive everything else, carries a heavy impact – he’s sure they won’t kill him. Not him of all people, because he gave them life and power. ‘Yes,’ agrees the Dalek. ‘You gave us life.’ Then it guns him down without a second thought. Beware all those who empower the forces of racism.

Tellingly, Bragen survives the Daleks, only to be brought down by what has sickeningly been referred to as a ‘Second Amendment Solution,’ someone with a gun and a conviction that he must be stopped at all costs.

Beyond all the political and power-based struggles, the Second Doctor emerges from The Power of the Daleks as a very different character to the First. When Ben gives him the solution of ‘just pulling all the plugs out,’ he snaps that he ‘prefers to do it his way,’ a mission statement of change for all the fans still not convinced by this new Doctor. But then he delivers a solution at once more violent and more irresponsible than anything the First Doctor would have thought of – he proposes to sacrifice Bragen’s guards to the Daleks, just to give him time to engineer a solution which involves blowing the Daleks up, rather than simply de-powering them. The Tenth Doctor may have had a compulsion with offering alien aggressors (and indeed human ones), one chance to show him they could change, but the Troughton Doctor, comparatively young and in a universe of relatively black and white choices (he was eventually to characterise his battles as being against things which ‘must be fought’) decides to blow the Daleks up without a second thought, and plunge the colony into further chaos and powerlessness as a result. When told what he’s done, his contrition is shockingly false – ‘Did I do all that?’ followed by a chuckle. And as they creep away ‘before being presented with the bill,’ Polly asks him ‘You did know what you were doing, didn’t you?’ – she, like the audience, having grown used to First Doctor plans that were thought through. Again, he gives a dark chuckle which seems to make light of all the grimness and death which The Power of the Daleks has entailed. The Second Doctor begins The Power of the Daleks as a dark and somewhat frightening presence in the Tardis. Along the way through the story he’s been brilliant, quixotic, self-absorbed and certain, intense, inventive and darkly playful. But at the end, there’s something that seems callous about his actions, something irresponsible about the lives he’s willing to lose on the way to a victory. It’s a born-again Unearthly Child, re-establishing the alien nature of the show’s central character and, to borrow a later phrase, retconning the cuddly old grandfather that the First Doctor had become. There are reasons for doing that, not the least of which is that with an unpredictable enigma at the heart of the show, you absolutely want to tune in next week to see what he does next.

The Power of the Daleks has been described as the ‘Holy Grail of lost stories.’ There’s absolutely no doubt it deserves that mantle: the first regeneration story, entailing one of the biggest risks in the show’s history; the launch of Patrick Troughton’s Doctor, and a reminder of quite how dark and intense he could be beneath the tired old ‘cosmic hobo’ label; the first time the idea of the Daleks having to be cunning to get what they want, of having to abase themselves, is used, giving us a renewed interest in them as villains; and one of the grimmest, most body-count heavy stories in Doctor Who at least until Philip Hinchcliffe got his hands on the show. It’s undoubtedly a masterpiece of Doctor Who.

The animated version – which in Episode 6 reverts to the standards of Episodes 1-4, actively improving on the Daleks’ motion and malevolence from the original live action show by virtue of smoothness and a lack of wobble – is a creation of time and effort and vision and what feels at least like love. Beyond much of a shadow of doubt, it’s the best version of The Power of the Daleks you’re ever likely to see, even if the original’s discovered. As a proof of concept for fully animated lost stories, it’s everything the fans could have hoped for and more – yes, in a couple of episodes, human motion’s a bit of an issue, and in Episode 5, somewhat inexplicably, the Daleks lose their animated smoothness and revert to wobbliness as if drawn more closely from life than in any other episode – but if you have time to let those things spoil The Power of the Daleks for you, you really don’t have enough to worry about. Get The Power of The Daleks. Get it as a download now. Get it in black and white on DVD, and get it in colour when it’s released on blu-ray. It will be, beyond question, one of the jewels of your Doctor Who collection.

Timekeepers: How the World Became Obsessed With Time, by Simon Garfield. Publisher: Canongate Books; Main edition (29 Sept. 2016)

Simon Garfield is one of those few, happy, authors who have managed to turn their flickering curiosity into a source of income. After stints writing for the Observer, The Mail on Sunday and the Independent, he has turned his journalism into long-form investigations of, variously, the meaning of Typefaces, the significance of actual hand-written correspondence, and to the purpose of cartography (to name only a few of his more recent efforts). While there’s obviously a point to letter writing, fonts, and maps, the spur to Garfield’s curiosity in these cases is, somewhat predictably, the Internet. Or, more precisely, what technology in its many forms and applications has done to each of these (now) fading practices. With his most recent book, Timekeepers, time – our relationship to and perception of – gets the benefit of his attention. Benefit, because Garfield is no Luddite and Timekeepers is not out to shame those of us who spend too much of our day looking at our phones. Timekeepers explores, eccentrically and entertainingly, how we came to have our noses stuck to the glass and presents alternative ways of looking at and perceiving time. Not a physicist, Garfield doesn’t enter debates on whether time exists or not. He yields the stage to Stephen Hawking and others on that topic. Instead, Timekeepers tells the less abstract and more urgent story of technology’s impact on our perceptions of time. Classifying and measuring time in ever finer increments isn’t the main problem; making time ubiquitous through technology also isn’t the whole story. Our reliance on technology to order our lives is largely time-based (think of the “productivity apps” that promise to make you more efficient) and looking to it for a solution to feeling rushed all the time only compounds the problem. Instead of offering a packaged fix, Timekeepers chronicles how we got to where we are now and explores different ways of perceiving time. From a slow, seasonal, and cyclical appreciation of time’s passing (in the past, no one was too fussed about the village clock being off by half an hour or about the fact that it disagreed with the clock in the neighbouring town) to an industrial and mechanized emphasis on time in order to drive productivity, to the digital, light-speed time slicing of now, Garfield traces the evolution in measurement and perception that has many of us, to quote Bono, “running to stand still.”

Apart from the excursions into film, art, photography and the slow living movement, of interest to the watch enthusiast community are the chapters Garfield devotes to horology, particularly the industry as it stands today. It’s not that the information he imparts about the Swiss luxury industry is especially revealing (especially to clued-in watch nuts) but rather that he holds a unique position relative to the industry. Less biased than most, Garfield has no obvious investment in propping-up the industry and takes a sobering look at the apparatus that fuels our interest in watches. He finds parts of it admirable and parts faintly ridiculous. His Horology Part 1 chapter starts with an appreciation of the craft of making watches. Garfield visits IWC and takes a tourist class in watchmaking and spends much of it worried about dropping a tiny piece of the movement on the floor where nothing short of a magnifying glass will find it again. Making tiny, complicated machines is hard, and therefore expensive. In a footnote, he concedes: “In all the talk of the absurd cost of these timepieces, and the ingenious madness of the gimmickry, one is left dumbstruck by the beauty of the engineering.” We know this, but the myth that the Swiss are exclusive custodians of the kind of skill required to make the watches we love is exposed as just that through his conversations with Nicholas Hacko, an Australian watchmaker. Again, watch nerds know this is a myth too, and two easy counter-examples of Japan and Germany are often cited as centres of skill and tradition outside of Switzerland, but the struggles of independent watchmakers like Hacko to procure the parts necessary to repair and make watches reveal that these restrictions are programmatic. The Swiss retain their reputation partly by cultivating watchmaking skills within their borders but also, systematically, by ensuring other parts of the world can’t get what they need to develop those skills. In our franker moments, we would concede that not everything our favourite Swiss brands do to preserve their market share (by sales: the Swiss only account for a small percent of the total watches sold in the world, but account for well over half of the total value) is sporting, but Timekeepers doesn’t have to pull its punches. And it doesn’t.

But Garfield isn’t finished. His second chapter on Horology is subtitled “How to Sell the time,” and is more direct in its criticisms of the Swiss watch industry. Looking at the way watches are marketed, he cherry picks some egregious examples of ad copy and takes us on a walking tour of the, to him, puzzling excesses of Baselworld. Gigantic aquarium as part of a brand’s pavilion at the show? Why? Because they can. Playing the naïf, Garfield’s requirements for a watch that tells the time meet the luxury manufacturer’s marketing machinery with predictable results. Here, it’s Garfield’s satire that seems a bit tone deaf and mocking luxury marketing is a bit like shooting fish in a barrel in the first place. He does hit on the underlying principle that makes buying a luxury, and entirely superfluous, watch work: narrative. We buy stories more than watches and brand marketers certainly know this. Citing Bremont as one noteworthy example: “Bremont has made a name for itself by including tiny pieces of historic objects within its timepieces and then advertising the shit out of them with a narrative description worthy of Robert Harris.” Revealingly, Garfield’s discussions with power brokers at the event disclose that the pin that could burst this bubble is not the literalist criticisms of a journalist, nor the threats posed by smart watches. The real threat is when men wearing other kinds of jewellery becomes socially acceptable.

It’s a sobering look at a world we love, but it’s carried off with a genial flair by Garfield. He’s not writing a manifesto. Garfield wraps up his introductory chapter by promising “that…we will track down the person responsible for the adverts that claim ‘You never actually own a Patek Philippe, you merely look after it for the next generation,’ and try not to kill him.” The enmity is tongue in cheek, because what troubles Garfield about the slogan is not its fake ad-world depth, but its effectiveness. After his journey through Baselworld and luxury marketing hype, he still wants the watch.

The Super Oldies Jingle Bell Rock Has Been Found

Last updated on Friday, December 9, 2011

(BEDFORD) - The Super Oldies Jingle Bell Rock has been found.

Super Oldies hid the official Super Oldies Jingle Bell Rock within the listening area and Super Oldies 105.5 aired clues on its location starting Nov. 29th.

Dianna Voorhies, her son, Donny Voorhies and Amy Lynn and her daughter Josie, Kaleigh Lee and Ahley Langley found the rock Thursday around 5 :30 p.m. It is a limestone rock with 105.5 engraved into both sides.

"I didn't realize what it was at first," said Dianna Voorhies. "We were silent for a second and then we all started screaming."

Donny Voorhies, Dianna's son, found the rock hidden behind a large wooden cross at Camp Rivervale on Rivervale Road in Lawrenceport.

"It wasn't that easy to find," Donny said. "Just the top of it was sticking out of some tall grass behind the cross. At first I thought it was a stone with someone's address on it. Then we realized it was the Jingle Rock."

The group, who are employed at Hoosier Hills Credit Union, have been looking for the Jingle Bell Rock for six years.

"But we knew this was going to be our year," said Amy Lynn. "It wasn't if we found the rock, it was when we were going to find it. We knew we were in the right area because there were others in the area looking for it."

Dianna decided to backtrack and that is when they found the rock.

"We are so pumped up about this," Amy said. "We have been jumping up and down and haven't been able to sleep. This is so exciting. We left work at six, stopped and got pizza to go and ate in the car. We were on a mission. We were going to find that rock."

And they did.

The group will now swap the rock for a sleigh full of prizes totaling $1,500.
Prizes are being provided by the following sponsors of the contest:

* Big O Tires - Bedford

* Discount Tools - Bedford

* May's Greenhouse - Bloomington

* Bunch's Country Mark - Bedford

State To Begin Docking Democrat's Expense Checks
Updated May 5, 2013 12:08 AM | Filed under: Network Indiana
 Print    Archive    RSS

(STATEHOUSE) - The state has begun docking the expense checks of 38 house Democrats to cover the fines assessed over their five-week strike.

But one of those legislators may go to court.

Fort Wayne Representative Phil Giaquinta argues state law expressly forbids employers to deduct fines from workers' paychecks without a court order.

And he questions whether the fines are legal in the first place.

He says Democrats were exercising both their free speech rights and their rights as legislators when they fled to Urbana, Illinois, to prevent a quorum to consider a handful of labor and education bills.

Attorney Mark Giaquinta, Phil Giaquinta's brother, has sent letters to House Speaker Brian Bosma and State Auditor Tim Berry, laying out the legal case against the fines and hinting at a lawsuit if the deductions go forward.

He says Wednesday's first deduction should be restored.

Bosma says the fines are authorized under the rules of the house, but he's asked Attorney General Greg Zoeller and an outside lawyer to review the claim.

Bosma says the deductions will pay off the $3,150 in fines by year's end.

The total is slightly less for some democrats who were in the house for a day or two for procedural reasons during the walkout.

Two Democrats owe no fines.

Jeffersonville's Steven Stemler defied the boycott and attended each session during the standoff.

And Milton Representative Phil Pflum returned to the house on Monday after missing most of the session, including the entire walkout, while recuperating from gallbladder surgery.

His absences were excused.

One big upside from Hurricane Matthew

CHARLESTON, S.C. (AP) - Hurricane Matthew flooded roads and homes and tore branches from trees, but there has been one upside to the storm: bigger shrimp.

South Carolina Department of Natural Resources biologist Jeff Brunson tells The Post and Courier of Charleston that in some places along the coast, larger shrimp have moved from estuaries to offshore waters where they are being caught by commercial shrimpers.

He says the storm lowered the salt levels of water in the estuaries and high tides from the storm may have also have pushed shrimp seaward.

Brunson says there was a similar improvement in the catch a year ago after what's been termed a 1,000-year storm inundated the state, swelling rivers and estuaries. In that storm as much as 2 feet of rain fell in some areas.

Precia Molen launched the New i410 Weighing Indicator

PRECIA-MOLEN (France) - Successor to the widely publicised I400, the I410 is already announced as an industrial weighing must-have.

Software and ergonomic developments:
Even more than a simple weight indicator, the I410 is a true Intelligent Terminal integrating various trade applications and capable of responding to many needs while remaining accessible and intuitive.

The I410 offers an improved user interface, including a more readable display, and an alphanumeric keyboard. The introduction of two new character fonts (Farsi and Cyrillic) will also allow a larger number of operators to work in their mother tongue.

The I410 indicator now relies on a faster and more powerful 32-bit processor, and therefore more effective when it is requested within the framework of complex processes – such as metering and dynamic weighing.

Designed to integrate with any industrial process:
The role of the I410 indicator is to ensure the conduct of the weighing application, involving management, monitoring and control of the various transmitters and peripherals connected to it. The I410 indicator, the same as its predecessor, is thought to be as universal as possible: it allows communication with the main field buses on the market (Profibus, DeviceNet, Ethernet Modbus-TCP and Ethernet/IP), and integrates with any industrial process: weighing of silo, dosing by batch, packaging (gate filling, bagging), flow control in loading or unloading, check weigher, dynamic weighing and metering, weighing device circuit.

The I410 is based on the same fundamentals which have already made the I400 range successful: a modular architecture, and high level metrological performance.

The genomic revolution is transforming basic & clinical immunology.

Integration of next generation sequencing and genome engineering techniques into immunological research is redefining immunology. Further development of more powerful methods for chromatin profiling, single cell immuno-genomics, genome wide CRISPR screens, will have a huge impact on the next decade of immune research in both basic science and clinical applications.

Advanced genomics have also led to a vast interest in the study of the microbiome, an immense and poorly understood microbial ecosystem that is now considered an integral part of the human holobiome. The microbiome extensively interacts with the host, and this cross-talk is believed to profoundly affect the normal innate and adaptive immune function. Impairment in this second genome is closely associated with the pathogenesis of a myriad of ‘multi-factorial’ diseases, ranging from infectious diseases, inflammatory and autoimmune disorders, metabolic diseases, cancer, and recently even neurodegenerative and aging-related disorders.

As such, advanced genomic research is rapidly expanding the horizons of immunology towards fields and disorders never studied before, resulting in identification of innovative and personalized genomic-based immune- and microbiome-mediated therapeutic strategies and interventions.

In this meeting, we will bring together pioneers and world leaders merging genomics, immunology and microbiome research to make important discoveries in clinical and basic immunology. The meeting will include three days of extensive, interdisciplinary and informal discussions. Our aim is to create a forum and ‘think tank’ enabling further integration and sharing of knowledge in the emerging immuno-genomics field, hoping to define together the agenda of this new community for the next decade. The meeting will include presentation by over thirty invited speakers and of several selected abstracts, lively poster sessions, and many opportunities for interactions between leaders in basic research, pharma and the clinic.

As part of the meeting, we will hold a special ‘meet the editor’ session hosted by editors of leading journals including Nature, Cell, Science, Nature Medicine, Nature Immunology, Nature Microbiology, Immunity, Nature Genetics, Nature Biotechnology, and Cell Host & Microbe, and a session with Pharma and clinical leaders discussing translational aspects of this revolution. In these, we will discuss the future prospects and directions of our developing, highly multi-disciplinary field.

Importantly, the Weizmann Systems Biology initiative will fund travel and housing scholarships for outstanding 50 PhD students and Postdocs based on competitive track record in these fields. For more info click here.

Ways to treat bedwetting in children

By Dr Michelle Cooper

BEDWETTING is a common problem in young children but, in time, most become dry at night without any treatment. However, treatment is considered for children aged five and over.

Although many children are dry at night by the age of three, it is common for children to require nappies at night until school age. However, bedwetting may occur beyond this age and about one in seven children aged five and one in 20 children aged 10 are bed-wetters.

There is usually no specific cause for bedwetting; it occurs simply because the volume of urine produced at night is more than the child's bladder can hold. The sensation of a full bladder does not seem strong enough to wake the child at night.

Further causes include a urinary infection, sleep apnoea (pauses in breathing whilst asleep), diabetes and rare disorders of the bladder. A specific medical cause is more likely if daytime wetting occurs in addition to night time bedwetting.

• It is best to stop using nappies when you decide that the time has come. Some older children are still put in nappies at night when trying to be dry but this gives them little motivation. However, in young children, if a trial without nappies does not work out you can go back to nappies and try again at a later date.

• There is a great variation in the age at which children become naturally dry at night. Do not punish children for bedwetting-it is not their fault. If an improvement is noticed, praise and make a fuss of your child.

• Your child's co-operation is important. As soon as your child is old enough to understand, a simple explanation can be helpful.

• Encourage your child to help change wet sheets when old enough. Children respond to being given responsibility.

* Make sure there are no hidden fears about getting up at night e.g. fear of the dark or of spiders.

• Restricting drinks can help but does not cure bedwetting. The bladder has to get used to filling up and holding urine. Daytime restriction prevents this-children should drink at least 6-8 cups of fluid per day. A sensible plan is to only give drinks if your child is thirsty 2-3 hours before bedtime.

• Parents may wake children to take them to the toilet several hours after bedtime. However, this can prolong the problem; children have to get used to waking up when their bladder is full.

Bedwetting alarms are a common form of treatment. An alarm is usually needed for 3-5 months to condition the child to wake and empty their bladder when it is full. The alarm goes off as soon as wetting starts, waking the child to prompt him or her to go to the toilet.

Medicines containing desmopressin work by reducing the amount of urine made by the kidneys. However, when discontinued, the bedwetting often returns.

Reward systems such as star charts, can prove effective in motivating children to become dry.

Local church gives hundreds free flu shots - WFXG FOX 54 - News Now

Local church gives hundreds free flu shots

(WMC-TV) - Hundreds of residents showed up at Christ Church in Bartlett for free flu shots Saturday.

Not only was it a chance for the health department to give out free shots, but it was a chance for residents to study emergency preparedness.

According to the Shelby County Health Department, they are required to host these events every few years to help prevent an outbreak.

"As you said, it was a win-win situation for our program to test our readiness (and) for the public to respond to a situation. So, it's a win-win to get free vaccines," stated health officer, Helen Marrow.

The health department is hoping more people will attend these events in the future.

Classical award-winner at Nairn

Benjamin Grosvenor
Benjamin Grosvenor

REGARDED as one of the most sought-after young pianists in the world and internationally recognized for his electrifying performances and insightful interpretations, 24-year old pianist Benjamin Grosvenor is this month’s special guest of Music Nairn at the town’s Community and Arts Centre.

Starting lessons age six with his mother, by the age of 11 Grosvenor had won the keyboard section of BBC Young Musician of the Year.

In 2011, at just 19, he performed with the BBC Symphony Orchestra at the First Night of the Proms.

Since then he has appeared with many of the most prestigious orchestras in the world and made his Last Night of the Proms debut in 2015 performing Shostakovich with Marin Alsop.

His Nairn concert on Wednesday March 9 starts with a solo performance of two of Mendelssohn’s Preludes and Fugues, followed by Chopin’s Sonata no. 2. After the interval, young Korean violinist Hyeyoon Park joins Benjamin to play the 1927 jazz inspired sonata by Ravel and Brahms’ much loved no 3 op 108.

The concert begins at 7.30pm and tickets are available in advance or on the door from Nairn Community Centre or online at

West End star John Barrowman has been announced as the headline act for BBC Proms in the Park alongside other Proms In The park events all over the UK. The Salford Proms In The Park is on Saturday 11 September at Buile Hill Park.

Barrowman will be joined by Salford's own orchestra the BBC Philharmonic. John returned returned to our TV screens last Saturday with Tonight's the Night on BBC One.

He will appear in the BBC Proms in the Park in Salford, which has become the highlight of Salford's musical calendar and which last year pulled in crowds of over 8,000.

Tickets are now on sale for the BBC Proms in the Park in Salford with the BBC Philharmonic.

Full price tickets cost £20, but Salford residents can take advantage of Salford City Council's residents offer until 31 July only, when tickets cost £13.50 each (maximum six per household).

Half of these discounted tickets have already sold out, so Salford residents need to act quickly to secure them.

Tickets can be booked online at Visit Salford or by phone on 0844 815 7131. All prices are inclusive of postage and booking fees.

The concert is part of the BBC's spectacular Last Night of the Proms celebrations, when venues across the UK are invited to host their own Last Night party, building up to a live BBC Big Screen link to the Royal Albert Hall in London.

Excerpts of all the Last Night of the Proms celebrations are broadcast on BBC Radio and Television, with digital viewers also able to watch all the action live from their local park via the red button on their TV remote control.

Known the world over as Captain Jack in Torchwood and Doctor Who, John has most recently been guesting as a villain in the hit US TV series Desperate Housewives.

John started his career as a leading man in West End musicals, starring alongside Elaine Paige in Anything Goes, and has gone on to further success in productions ranging from Chicago, the Phantom of the Opera and Miss Saigon to Love's Labours Lost, Aladdin and A Few Good Men.

He said he is delighted to be taking part in the prestigious event: "It looks set to be a fantastic evening and I'm thrilled to have been invited to perform."

Cllr John Merry, leader of Salford City Council, said: "We are delighted that Salford is one of only a select number of cities taking in part in the world's largest classical music festival. Last year's concert was a phenomenal success and this year it will be even bigger and better.

"It is also a great way to build on our excellent relationship with the BBC Philharmonic which moves to its new home at MediaCityUK at Salford Quays next year."

Concert goers are encouraged to bring picnics, flags and all the family for a truly unforgettable night of world class music making with the BBC Philharmonic.

The full programme for the night along with the other stars support acts is yet to be announced.
