New Zealand: Bad Weather Prevents Salvors to Assess Rena's Break-up Damage
Swells around the Astrolabe Reef are continuing to prevent salvors from diving on the wreck to assess the damage caused through Rena's break-up and partial sinking of the stern, Maritime New Zealand (MNZ) says.
Swells around the Astrolabe Reef are continuing to prevent salvors from diving on the wreck to assess the damage caused through Rena's break-up and partial sinking of the stern, Maritime New Zealand (MNZ) says.
MNZ Salvage Unit Manager David Billington said the current swell was around 2m, with a maximum wave height of 4m. The sea state was expected to peak tomorrow and to subside over the weekend.
"The breaking up of the wreck has exposed a lot of jagged steel and the wave surges are causing containers and debris to shift around. It is certainly not safe for divers to attempt to dive on the wreck in the current conditions," Mr Billington said.
Yesterday, Svitzer had dropped rigging technicians onto the front section of the wreck, still firm on the Astrolabe Reef, to secure containers on the bow, Mr Billington said.
They would return today to check on the rigging to ensure the containers remained as secure as possible.
Svitzer naval architects were developing plans for container removal from the front section.
"The Smit Borneo is ready to go back out to the wreck when the weather conditions allow. Svitzer continues to assess how the barge can get access to the bow section."
The clean-up operation is continuing around the Bay of Plenty today, with Braemar Howells container and debris recovery teams working in several different areas both on water and on shore.
Mr Billington said considerable progress had been made at Waihi Beach with a significant amount of debris moved from the beach yesterday.
A total of 30 containers had been identified ashore in a number of locations.
More than 10 vessels undertaking container and debris recovery would be action in total today – including two specialised barges with excavator arms to tackle floating debris.
Braemar aimed to begin removing 11 containers beached on Matakana Island today. They will be using both shoreline recovery – transferring the containers by road transport using the vehicle ferry – and on-water recovery by hauling some back into the sea to be lifted onto barges.
"Matakana Island is one of the areas that has borne the brunt of the debris washing ashore – there is a large scale operation there that will continue for some time," Mr Billington said.
Braemar Howells teams were also scouring beaches from the Mount to Papamoa where small patches of debris had been located. Operations were also underway on Mōtītī Island and Waihi.
National On Scene Commander Alex van Wijngaarden said a heavy metallic sheen had been observed coming from the wreck this morning.
"The sheen is about 4km long and between 10-60m wide. It is part of a larger, lighter sheen that is stretching about 10km from the wreck."
Captain van Wijngaarden said sheen was drifting down the eastern side of Mōtītī Island but observers noted it did not appear to be reaching the island. Current trajectory modelling predicted the oil was likely to reach Pukehina Beach, and east of there, overnight.
"We have had unconfirmed reports of a small amount of oil stranding at Pukehina. We have sent a shoreline clean-up assessment team down to follow up on those reports and we have response teams ready to clean any oil they may find," Captain van Wijngaarden said.
"We have about 60 oil spill responders in the field today, cleaning at the Mount and on Matakana Island. We also continue to get a significant amount of support from iwi volunteer groups, who are also doing a fantastic job."
Wildlife teams were out between the Mount and Pukehina today checking for affected wildlife. Seven live little blue penguins and 31 dead birds of different species have been picked up this week. The live penguins are being stabilised at the Te Maunga oiled wildlife facility.
The facility has been partially recommissioned, with birds being transported to Massey University in Palmerston North after stabilisation for cleaning and ongoing rehabilitation. Captain van Wijngaarden said the facility would be expanded to once again provide for cleaning and rehabilitation of wildlife if the numbers being collected increased.
Boom maintenance teams were going to check on booms put up at Maketū, Little Waihi and Waitahanui yesterday – they would also be putting signage up to caution people using the beach.
Surf lifesavers had assessed all the beaches this morning – beach goers are encouraged to swim between the flags and seek guidance from their local surf lifesaving club if they are concerned about debris in the water.

Find the Provider Right for You
Find the Provider Right for You
Jennifer Wagner knew she wanted to go into medicine ever since she was a kid, as she was fascinated with the human body. She chose to pursue nursing as first, because it offered her flexibility and allowed her to work and be a mom. It was her excellent experience working with midwives during her first pregnancy that inspired her to become a certified midwife.
Ms. Wagner received her medical degree from the University of Cincinnati and is board certified by the American Midwifery Certification Board. She has been a practicing midwife since 2014. The best part of her job, in her opinion, is seeing everyone filled with emotion as a new baby is born. She says it never gets old seeing the joy, wonder, and excitement a new baby brings to people.
Ms. Wagner strives to make her patients comfortable by truly listening to them and their concerns. She believes listening allows her to create a genuine connection with her patient. Ms. Wagner is also able to empathize and relate to patients through being a mom. She's found that humor is sometimes a great way to make patients smile and help them connect as well.
Ms. Wagner sees health is more than just physical; it's a combination of spiritual, social, mental, emotional, and physical components.
If she wasn't practicing medicine, Ms. Wagner would be an architect, engineer, or work in dance, music or fiber art. A fun fact about Ms. Wagner is that she owned her own long-arm quilting business and has co-authored a quilting book.
In her free time, Ms. Wagner enjoys journaling, being outside in nature, exercise, yoga, and spending time with her family and friends. She also volunteers with different non-profit organizations including Three Square and HOSA-Future Health Professionals.

Faysal Quraishi is one of the most versatile and popular actors of Pakistan, and lately is also one of the busiest! The actor, who started the year off by becoming a host for HUM TV's phenomenal game show Jeet Ka Dum, is also currently busy shooting for various serials such as Rang Laaga, back-to-back. To finish off his pending serials, the actor is devoting five days a week to shooting, while allotting the other two days to the game show.
Rang Laaga is his latest serial to take the nation by storm. His portrayal of a lower middle class man with a tendency to fall in love quite often has received unanimous acclaim from critics and audiences alike, making his character Aashiq Hussain a household name yet again. His next serial to go on air will be Mol for HUM TV, for which he is collaborating with the network after a long period of time. Faysal's co-stars in the serial include Naveen Waqar, Munawar Saeed and Nadeem Baig.
The actor is also currently finalizing his next production. Keeping in mind the expectations people will be having after the mega success of his previous production Bashar Momin, Faysal wants to make sure everything is absolutely perfect for his latest venture. After wrapping up the shooting for his current serials, the actor will then start working on his home production. There is a lot of buzz in the market about who he will be casting in this venture, and Faysal has confirmed that fans can expect an official statement soon.
Speaking about his current and upcoming projects, Faysal stated
"I am in a very happy place right now. The best decision that I took in recent years was to start working more. Yes, it's tiring but also extremely satisfying. The love and appreciation of fans keeps me motivated to give my 100% every time. The response to Aashiq Hussain is amazing, and I cannot wait for Mol to go on air. I have always aimed at doing different roles, which is evident from my recent choices. As for my home production, my team has been working with me to finalize things. I will be making an official statement soon. At this point, all I can say is that this is going to be another very exciting project after Bashar Momin".
It can't be denied that Faysal Quraishi has enjoyed a great success rate in all his projects. The good thing is that he never disappoints and continues to give quality performances for his fans to enjoy!

American Heart Association EPI Lifestyle Scientific Sessions, March 5-8, 2019, Houston, Texas
Gargya Malla, Andrea Cherrington, Sha Zhu, Univ of Alabama at Birmingham, Birmingham, AL; Doyle M. Cummings, East Carolina Univ, Greenville, NC; Olivio Clay, Todd M. Brown, Loretta T Lee., Univ of Alabama at Birmingham, Birmingham, AL; Ruth Kimokoti, Simmons Coll, Boston, MA; Mary Cushman, Univ of Vermont Medical Ctr, Burlington, VT; Monika M. Safford, Weill Cornell Medical Coll, New York, NY; April P. Carson, Univ of Alabama at Birmingham, Birmingham, AL
BACKGROUND: Control of risk factors is important for the primary prevention of cardiovascular disease among adults with diabetes. The objective of this study was to determine whether management of clinical (hemoglobin A1c <8%; BP <130/80 mm Hg; and statin use) and lifestyle factors (not currently smoking; physical activity on 4+ days/week; and moderate or no alcohol use) varied by race and sex among older adults with incident diabetes.
METHODS: This study included 1,420 Black and White adults from the REGARDS Study with incident diabetes at the follow-up exam (2014- 16). Incident diabetes was defined as fasting glucose>=126 mg/dL, random glucose>=200 mg/dL, or use of diabetes medications among those without diabetes at baseline (2003-07). Modified Poisson regression was used to obtain prevalence ratios (PR) for the control of risk factors for Black versus White adults and assess race-sex interactions.
RESULTS: The mean age was 71.5 years, 53.6% were female, 46.1% were Black and 85.7% reported they were aware of their diabetes. BP control was lower for Black males than White males (p=0.0036), whereas statin use was lower for Black females than White females (p=0.0241). For lifestyle factors, not smoking was lower for Black males than White males (p=0.0187), whereas moderate or no alcohol use was higher for Black females than White females (p<0.0001). (Figure) Race-sex interactions were not statistically significant. In age and sex-adjusted models, Black adults were less likely to have BP controlled (PR=0.89; 95% CI=0.81, 0.99) or use statins (PR=0.88; 95% CI=0.80, 0.97) and more likely to report moderate or no alcohol use (PR=1.05; 95% CI=1.03, 1.07) than White adults. Control of other factors was similar.
CONCLUSION: Although control of individual risk factors was generally high among older adults with incident diabetes, racial differences in BP control and statin use were apparent. Assessment and management of cardiovascular risk factors in this high-risk population remains important for prevention.

The basement Lego collection had grown beyond the capacity of the original Lego table tray I built a few months back. When the kids and I started on our Lego kick last year we could fit both the kids basic Lego collection and my Technic collection on the same table. With the big influx of new sets over the Christmas holiday (and my addiction to Bricklink) I thought an upgrade in our play space was in order.
Along with that my father-in-law gave me a surprise gift of several power tools he found on eBay, including a Craftsman radial arm saw. I figured the updated Lego table would be a great first project to try out the new additions to the workshop.
General Design
Table Size
For the new table size I wanted something that was roughly twice the size of the old table tray which was based on a 4' x 4' sheet of plywood. I found a 4'x 8' sheet of 1/2" plywood on sale for $23 at Menards.
I didn't want a square table so I cut a 45 degree triangle section off of each corner of the plywood about one foot from the ends.
Extra Storage
I wanted some extra storage space built into this table so I planned on adding some drawers just under the plywood top. Originally I was only going to have four drawers along the long side of the table. There was a lot of empty space at each end so I decided to include two smaller drawers at the table ends.
To keep the design of the drawers simple I decided to make the depth of the drawers the same as the standard board sizes. The width of a standard 2" x 3" seemed about right (2.5"). For the bottom floor of the drawers I picked up some 1/4" plywood.
Building Materials
Since this table was going to serve out its useful life hidden away in the basement play area I opted for using low cost basic Pine boards for the table framing. Those pine boards are cheap for a reason. Its was hard to find one that wasn't partiall warped or full of knots as I was sorting through the pile picking them out, especially the 2"x2" and 1/2" x 3" strips.
I thought about using select boards to avoid having to deal with all the flaws. However with the table design I had in mind a majority of the cuts would only be a few feet long. Most of the basic boards had at least one had a section that was straight and I could buy three to four of the cheap boards for the price of once select board. My plan was to buy double the boards I needed and work around the non-straight sections. Additionally I thought the extra knots in some of the cheaper boards would look neat once I stained and sealed the table.
Side Rail Design
I ended up layering two 2" x 2" and one 2" x 3" together for the side rails. The 2" x 2" boards on the outsides would sandwich the 2"x 3" in the middle. I made the bottom of the 1/2" plywood table-top flush with the bottom of the upper 2" x 2" board in the side rail. That gave the table a slight lip which would help keep the Legos from falling off the table and left the center 2" x 3" open to make room for the drawers.
For the rails I mitered all the corners at 22.5 degrees to neatly surround the elongated rectangle plywood top. The radial arm saw made this job much easier but it was not easy getting the board lengths right the first time. I had to re-cut a few of the rail pieces due to under cutting. There are a few gaps between the plywood top and rails but for the most part the rails went together well.
Measure and Cutting
Table Legs
For the front of the drawers I used 1" x 4" boards. To match the octagonal shape of the table top I mitered the corners of the drawer faces at 45 degrees.
Keeping It Together
I used construction screws to keep big pieces together, specifically the legs and inner framing. For all the rest of the assembly I used various sizes of finishing nails. In addition to the nails and screws I used wood glue on every joint.
During the whole assembly the wood never split once with either while driving the constructions screws or nails which was surprising to me. The finishing nails were the hardened, thin type which I think helped a lot with potential splitting. Also I only used the construction screws in areas were there was lots of wood around the insertion point.
Removable Rails
I had some leftover 3/8" dowels from a previous project. To make the removable rails I drilled and glued a 1 1/2" section of the dowels into the rail section. Then I drilled over sized holes on the removable rails so they were easy to pop off.
Big Lego Table Completed
Total Lego Table Cost
I put together the rough material of the table. I didn't have all the receipts but I think the figures are pretty close. Like I said above I bought extra boards so I could work around the warping of some of the smaller boards. I think I have roughly a half dozen left over.
The plan is to stain and seal the table at some point in the future. I will probably wait till this Spring when I can open a window to vent the fumes out of the basement. I could try carrying the table up the garage to finish it there but it would take a lot of effort to get it up the stairs and around the hallway corner to the garage

SAM Cook returned season-best figures as Essex's Bob Willis Trophy final hopes remained on track despite 15 wickets falling on day one at the Cloudfm County Ground, Chelmsford.
Fast bowler Cook celebrated analysis of 4-27 as he formed a formidable trident with new ball partner Jamie Porter (3-55) and spinner Simon Harmer (3-34) as Middlesex were dashed out for 138 in 53.3 overs.
But in reply, Tim Murtagh and James Harris both took two wickets to leave reigning county champions Essex 108 for five, despite Paul Walter's 43.
Essex are heavy favourites to top the South Group but to qualify for the Lord's final later this month they need to score more points than either the winner of the Central or North section.
They will likely need to get a bonus point more than northern leaders Derbyshire, if both teams were to win.
That quest for points started off well as they received the full three bowling points on offer by skittling Middlesex.
Having been put in the field by Middlesex captain Steve Eskinazi, they had their first point on the board inside half an hour.
Holden, who had scored a century in Vitality Blast fixture at Chelmsford earlier this season, was caught behind to Cook's second delivery.
Gubbins and Robson both fell to Porter to leave Middlesex 18 for three – the former lbw and the latter, following back-to-back boundaries, was bowled while leaving.
Eskinazi was caught behind off his inside edge after sticking around for 15.
Simon Harmer was brought into the attack in the 18th over from his customary River End and immediately found massive turn.
Although the Bob Willis Trophy's leading wicket-taker didn't need to use the facilities when Martin Andersson slapped a full toss to midwicket.
Former Essex loanee Robbie White was the sixth batsman to depart when he edged Porter to Sir Alastair Cook at first slip – giving Essex a previous second bonus point and Porter his 350th first-class scalp.
The tumble continued as John Simpson edged Porter behind and Harris, following a patient innings high 34, was lbw to Cook.
The innings closed when Thilan Walallawita was adjudged to have edged behind and Blake Cullen handed wicketkeeper Adam Wheater his fifth catch of the day.
Middlesex had only finished their Vitality Blast defeat to Surrey at the Kia Oval a 9.20pm on Saturday evening, with five players featuring in both matches. They had travelled immediately after that match.
Having scored 113 for nine on the T20 and rolled for 138, Middlesex had a combined score of 251 for 19 in around 20 hours.
The pitch had offered nip, plenty of carry and offered the spinners turn, but it certainly wasn't a wicket that would ordinarily suggest the number of wickets that fell.
That trend for quick wickets would continue into the Essex innings.
On the back of an unbeaten 129 on his last outing, Alastair Cook could only manage six as he edged to first slip, handing teenager Cullen a memorable third professional wicket in his second appearance.
Essex then lost three wickets in 19 balls to continue the instability at the wicket – with Tim Murtagh the chief instigator.
The veteran Irishman jagged a delivery in to take Tom Westley's off stump before Dan Lawrence nicked behind while moving down the wicket. Before Harris took over to have Feroze Khushi lbw.
Paul Walter stood tall throughout, though, as he made his new role as opener his own with a well-made 43.
But he was castled by Harris to Essex on 87 for five – with Wheater and Ryan ten Doeschate helping their side head towards a first-innings lead, albeit still a long way from adding any batting bonus points to their tally.

7 Reasons It's Great To Work In Manufacturing
Team Thomas July 31, 2019
The manufacturing industry is one of the largest and most influential sectors of the United States economy. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, there were an estimated 12.3M people employed in the Manufacturing Industry Sub-Sector in 2016 with a 1.17% year growth. It also accounts for a similarly large piece of the American workforce — the industry employs 8.7 percent of the country, making it the third-largest industry in terms of jobs.
But what is it like for the millions of people who actually work in the industry? The truth is, it's pretty fantastic. Here are some reasons why:
1. Contribution To The Economy
The manufacturing industry helps support the global and national economies, as well as individuals and families.
Research shows that manufacturing is ranked among the most important industries in maintaining a strong U.S. economy and eight in 10 Americans believe U.S. manufacturing is important to maintain Americans' standard of living.
Research also shows that manufacturing has the highest multiplier effect of any other major sector. In fact, every dollar spent in manufacturing contributes another $1.81 to the economy, allowing the industry to add nearly $2.2 trillion to the U.S. economy.
Clearly, manufacturing is having a big impact on jobs, livelihoods and the economy. That's something to be proud of.
2. On The Cutting Edge
We've talked about this at length before, but manufacturing has always been on the cutting edge of technology. 3D printing, drones, and the Internet of Things are just the latest examples of manufacturing companies adopting new technology long before the public gets their hands on it. And, for all the tech heads in the industry, that is the best reason to get up and go to work each day. It's good to be ahead of the curve.
3. Exciting Sectors Of Work
For some, relaying details about their jobs may be met with disinterest and boredom. But that's not the case for those in manufacturing who can regale friends about developments in aerospace, share the latest in food manufacturing with families over Thanksgiving dinner, or tell neighbors about the newest pharmaceuticals they are processing. With so much excitement within the industry, you'll have plenty of awesome information to share with those outside of it.
4. Increased Safety
A huge myth the industry has been fighting for decades is how unsafe manufacturing is. And for a long time, it absolutely was a high risk career path plagued by chemicals, machines, and other hazards. But we've come a long way. Robots are making our jobs safer, and technology like the Internet of Things and automation keeps us out of harm's way. We are working smarter, and safer, than ever before.
5. Fruits Of Your Labor
One of the great benefits to working in this industry is the fact that you are often working on real, tangible products. Manufacturing affects almost everything in our lives. Whether working on every day items you can buy at the store or huge set pieces for the next great Netflix movie, you can point to something and get the very satisfying pleasure of saying "I made that." When you work in the industrial sector, you can actually see the outcome of your work in a tangible object.
6. Career Growth
Once you choose a sector to go into, there are plenty of options for your career path. From fabrication and welding to research and distribution, the possibilities seem endless. And as the baby boomer generation begins to retire, leadership opportunities will be available for the next generation of manufacturers to take the reigns. Manufacturing jobs offer a ton of entry level positions. Most companies offer on-site job training, which is perfect for recent graduates or those looking for a complete change from their day-to-day, so there is always room to grow and advance your career.
According to data providing by the U.S. Census Bureau, this map below shows the highest wage by location in the manufacturing industry.
7. More Than An Assembly Line
Manufacturing covers a variety of industries and jobs within the manufacturing sector for those from other disciplines, such as sales and business development, marketing, human resources, and many others. These positions afford all of the benefits of working in manufacturing — the pride, stability, competitive salaries, excitement, great technology and others — to people from many different backgrounds. Not every industry can boast of the same potential and flexibility.

The idea for the focus on knowledge management came from the KM session at the West Coast DON Information Management/Information Technology Conference held in February. From the strike group to Multi-National Force - Iraq, a diverse group of KM champions explained how the application of KM principles is improving the speed of decision making and having a direct impact on warfighter effectiveness.
Citing the high operations tempo, the many demands on the department's budget and the need to collaborate jointly, and with coalition and nongovernmental agencies, their compelling argument to further the implementation of KM across the department was so convincing that I asked them to write.
As retired Navy Cmdr. Nancy Jenkins, knowledge management officer for Commander, U.S. Second Fleet, said, "Knowledge management is not new. The only thing that has changed is the impetus to do it better."
In August, the CHIPS staff attended the Army's LandWarNet Conference and had the opportunity to talk with Army leadership, Lt. Gen. Jeffrey Sorenson and Maj. Gen. Susan Lawrence, about technology improvements on tap for battlefront Soldiers. Look for their interviews in this issue.

James Stavridis serves as Supreme Allied Commander Europe. Gen. Mattis will continue to serve as commander of U.S. Joint Forces Command. Look for an article about the event on the CHIPS Web site.

In one of his notebooks, Euclid gave a complex procedure for solving the following problem. With computers, perhaps there is an easier way.
In a 2D plane, consider a line segment AB, another point C which is not collinear with AB, and a triangle DEF. The goal is to find points G and H such that:
H is on the ray AC (it may be closer to A than C or further away, but angle CAB is the same as angle HAB)
ABGH is a parallelogram (AB is parallel to HG, AH is parallel to BG)
The area of parallelogram ABGH is the same as the area of triangle DEF
There will be several test cases. Each test case will consist of twelve real numbers, with no more than 3 decimal places each, on a single line. Those numbers will represent, in order:
where point A is (AX,AY), point B is (BX,BY), and so on. Points A, B and C are guaranteed to NOT be collinear. Likewise, D, E and F are also guaranteed to be non-collinear. Every number is guaranteed to be in the range from -1000.0 to 1000.0 inclusive. End of the input will be signified by a line with twelve 0.0's.
For each test case, print a single line with four decimal numbers. These represent points G and H, like this:
where point G is (GX,GY) and point H is (HX,HY). Print all values rounded to 3 decimal places of precision (NOT truncated). Print a single space between numbers. Do not print any blank lines between answers.
Sample Input
0 0 5 0 0 5 3 2 7 2 0 4 1.3 2.6 12.1 4.5 8.1 13.7 2.2 0.1 9.8 6.6 1.9 6.7 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0

Manor House Touring ParkBlackpool, Lancashire
Manor House Touring Park is a garden park with 10, all year-round touring pitches set in peaceful countryside between Blackpool and Lytham St Annes.
The owners have a reputation for a friendly welcome as well as keeping their Touring park and facilities pristine.
Manor House Touring Park offers a tranquil, adult only Touring park alternative to typical crowded sites just minutes away from the South Lancashire coastal resorts.
Proudly awarded...
Hidden away along a peaceful country lane, Manor House Touring Park is a year round caravan park for touring caravans and motorhomes.
Laid out in mature gardens with manicured lawns, the park is surrounded by trees and planted with shrubs.
Our picnic area is just right for adults to lounge and relax during summer.
Our 10 hard standing pitches are large enough to park your car on the pitch and spaced with plenty of room for awnings.
Each pitch is equipped with 10A electric hook-up & fresh water tap.
Guest facilities comprise a spotlessly clean, individual heated shower room fitted with luxury shower enclosure, hand basin and WC.
Shops, supermarkets and restaurants are a few minutes' drive and there is a great local pub serving food within 10 minute walking distance.
If you would rather leave your motorhome or car on the park, there is a regular bus service between Blackpool and Lytham St Annes within 10 minutes' walk.
Well-behaved dogs are welcome by arrangement only, though must be kept on a short lead within the park.
The South Lancashire coast offers attractions for every guest, all year-round.
Blackpool, possibly England's greatest resort, is famous for the Blackpool Illuminations between September and November.
But that's not all; there are events and entertainments at Blackpool Tower and Blackpool Grand Theatre most of the year.
Blackpool Zoo, Madame Tussauds and Stanley Park are year round attractions.
Some would say Blackpool Pleasure Beach is more of a pleasure out of season but who could not be tempted to the piers and entertainments occasionally?
Whatever time of the year, a visit to the coast is always special, so the Victorian charms of Lytham and St Annes are just that.
St Anne's is popular for golf, shopping, coffee shops & Tea rooms, bars and restaurants while Lytham has a genteel charm and scenic coast views across the Ribble estuary and nature reserve from Lytham Windmill.
The Park is a few miles from the main Lancashire routes and motorways so a visit to the Forest of Bowland, Morecombe, Southport or the Lake District makes a great day trip.
No special offer. Contact park for latest news and offers subscription.

Why Your Sales Team Needs More Women
Traditionally, there have been much higher numbers of men working in sales than of women. As more and more women begin taking on sales positions, however, organizations are discovering the advantages of having females on their sales team.
Joël Le Bon, Ph.D., a sales management expert, followed a group of salespeople over eight years and found there are 58.8% more "WonderSalesWomen" than "SuperSalesMen." Throughout the study, female sales associates outperformed male top performers by 73.9%.
Another study found women are 5% more likely to close a deal than men, while there's also research that shows gender-diversity in sales teams can result in as much as 15x higher average sales revenue, as well as more market shares and higher profitability.
Adding more women to your sales team promotes diversity, which can help you increase revenue by:
Adding more women to your sales team is one of the best ways to tap into the power of a diverse workforce. Here's why:
Emotional intelligence
Women tend to have higher emotional intelligence (EQ) and be more communicative. They're better at building rapport, digging deeper to understand customers' needs, and using empathy to show that they care about customers' interests.
Women are better at creating emotional connections through storytelling — an increasingly important skill in sales and marketing.
Women tend to be better at multitasking, which helps them manage the many people, and moving parts, involved in today's complex sales processes.
Women possess deeper intuition and "gut instincts", which makes them better at reading and dealing with a variety of people.
Conflict resolution
Women are better at conflict resolution, and are more caring and nurturing in their interactions with others, making them more effective sales leaders and managers.
Women handle stressful situations better than men. They are often more resilient and can take rejection less personally.
Women tend to be more detail-oriented and can remember information (e.g., a customer's name, preferences, and personal tidbits) that will help build relationships.
Women have a neurological structure that enables them to be excellent communicators, which is a key trait of successful salespeople. The female brain has more connections between the two hemispheres and 10% more brain cells than males in the area responsible for perceiving and processing language.
Heschl's gyrus
Women are better at listening to prospects' and customers' needs thanks to the more voluminous Heschl's gyrus in the brain. With 74% of customers indicating they're more likely to buy if they feel that they're being listened to, women have a better chance of building strong relationships with customers and earning their trust.
Emotions & memory
Women have 10% more neurons devoted to emotions and memory. In particular, "mirror neurons" make them better at observing others' emotions and picking up on prospects' feelings to deliver the right reassurance at the right time and overcome objections.
A more diverse sales team is also more likely to reflect the composition of your customers' organizations, allowing your team to better connect with the various stakeholders involved in the complex decision-making process.
Adding more women to your sales team allows you to build rapport, cultivate trust, and foster relationships with your prospects and customers more effectively — which are key to generating more sales and profits in today's customer-centric economy.
Organizations need to attract more female sales professionals by implementing an inclusive recruitment process, offering benefits packages that address diverse needs, and enforcing company policies that promote diversity and inclusion.

A Message From Tori Lyon, CEO
"Unprecedented, challenging, uncertain times. Now more than ever…"
Indeed, we have been fed a steady stream of the same rhetoric for much of this year. And while there is no denying the struggles we are going through as a City and as a nation, I am challenging us to change the conversation – NOW.
"Unity. Action. Family. Togetherness. Unyielding support of our fellow brothers and sisters…"
In June of this year
, I wrote about the current climate in our country and our support of the renewed efforts to end systemic racism. I also referenced the need to examine and improve the way in which Jericho Project supports equality and inclusivity. While we are still in the process of conducting a thorough internal audit of our policies, procedures and intellectual capital and infrastructure, I am proud to announce the implementation of the JerichoEquity Initiative – a year-round, unwavering initiative designed to ensure our impact on the socioeconomic dynamic in our community is both internal and external. Proving it's more than timely rhetoric, Jericho has instituted the following changes.
Racial Equity Workgroups
After significant input from our staff, we have created the following workgroups comprised of staff from all levels, programs, and backgrounds.:
Oversight & Implementation
Led by CEO Tori Lyon, this workgroup will be responsible for considering the recommendations from staff and the other workgroups and figuring out how to implement the changes at Jericho Project.
Voting & Census
This workgroup will be responsible for informing staff and tenants about candidates running for local, state, and federal office; helping staff and tenants register to vote and request mail-in ballots when necessary; helping tenants and staff fill out the census; helping tenants and staff learn where to vote in-person and assisting them with the process of voting.
This workgroup will be responsible for planning and hosting events that celebrate cultural, ethnic, and religious diversity among Jericho Project's staff and clients. Some events they will put on include Black History Month celebrations, Juneteenth, LGBTQ+ Pride Month, and more.
This group will help staff and tenants organize around issues of homelessness, drug policy, police reform, mass incarceration, and more. They will be meeting with and advocating with state, local, and federal elected officials as well as government officials.
Juneteenth as Official Holiday
In recognition of the emancipation of those who were enslaved by the United States, we have chosen to recognize Juneteenth as an official agency holiday, allowing staff the day to reflect on the struggles undertaken to achieve this and the ample work left to do to ensure equality and freedom for all.
Featured Speakers and Support of Minority Owned Businesses
At the onset on the COViD-19 pandemic, Jericho's executive staff began to conduct weekly all-staff meetings virtually. Over the past few months, Jericho has begun to involve community leaders into these conversations, and we plan to continue to engage prominent supporters of these issues in future dialogue so that we can all continue to learn and grow together. Additionally, we are actively looking into our purchasing practices in an effort to ensure we are regularly supporting minority and women-owned businesses.
At Jericho Project, we are committed to actions that move us towards a more equal and just future. While we have been doing this for years, in many ways, our work is just beginning.
Yesterday. Today. Tomorrow.
With all my love and respect,

Václav KlausVáclav Klaus (; born 19 June 1941) is a Czech economist and politician who served as the second president of the Czech Republic from 2003 to 2013. From July 1992 until the dissolution of Czechoslovakia in January 1993, he served as the second and last prime minister of the Czech Republic while it was a federal subject of the Czech and Slovak Federative Republic, and then as the first prime minister of the newly independent Czech Republic from 1993 to 1998.
Klaus was the principal co-founder of the Civic Democratic Party (ODS), a Czech free-market Eurosceptic political party. His presidency was marked by many controversies over his strong opinions on issues ranging from global warming denial to euroscepticism, and a wide-ranging amnesty declared in his last months of office, triggering his indictment by the Czech Senate on charges of high treason. His political views have been referred to as "Klausism". Provided by Wikipedia

Dee Allen
- Tall Dark Stranger
About Dee Allen
Allen says, "If an idea pops into your head and moves you enough to write it down, then it will probably move others as well. I think it's important to let each song be what it wants to be, and not lose sight of what initially gave me chill bumps."
Although his style emerged from eclectic influences, it's grounded in a rock solid history. Born near Nashville, Dee literally grew up in the music industry, to musical parents (Oak Ridge Boy Duane Allen and Grand Ole Opry backup singer Norah Lee). His mother taught him to hear harmony by singing hymns around the piano. At age fifteen, his path was set when he picked up a guitar and taught himself to play by listening to KISS and Def Leppard albums. Within a year, he began writing songs.
By his junior year, he had formed his first rock band, who recorded an EP and an album. This piqued an interest in recording and arranging, and soon Allen was spending all his free time in his home studio making elaborate demos, typically playing and singing all of the parts. He spent the next several years gaining experience as a session singer, demo producer, stage performer, and even as the baritone singer of the Oak Ridge Boys for a brief period.
Tall Dark Stranger originally came together in 1998, and began making regular appearances at Nashville clubs and writers' nights. In their first few years together, they performed with acts like Big & Rich, Joe Pisapia (Guster), Billy Yates, John Cowan (New Grass Revival), and Dave Berg. They released two collections of demos, but frequent personnel changes prevented them from recording a cohesive album together. The band was put on hold for a few years when Allen was hired to sing in a theater show in another state. During that period, he poured his time, energy, and resources into making the first proper Tall Dark Stranger album. Performing most of the instruments and vocals, he also drew from a large stable of talented friends and coworkers.
The result is that each song on "There It Is" has a character of its own, while sharing the common threads of clever arrangements, insightful lyrics, intricate harmonies, and Allen's soulful lead vocals.
For Dee, the only rule for an artist is to keep it interesting to him/herself. "There will always be a faster player or a higher singer. But, if you strive to develop your own unique style and be true to what moves you, then you'll be untouchable.

Re-opening of Legaspi Oil Company, Inc., Davao City
On December 8, 2018, thousands of coconut farmers from different parts of Davao region gathered at the premises of Legaspi Oil Company, Inc. (LegOil) in Davao City to witness and support the re-opening of its plant, which has a production capacity of 600 metric tons per day. "With the re-opening of our Legoil-Davao plant, we will establish more copra buying stations near coconut plantations and buy copra from the farmers at a price higher than that set by our competitors in the industry" , said Mr. Aquilino Trinidad, who is the OIC-President/CEO of CIIF-OMG. "This is only consistent with our commitment to help develop the coconut industry in the country and uplift the lives of our coconut farmers" ,he added. Mr. Trinidad also revealed that CIIF OMG will intensify its effort to promote organic farming in Davao region, which will enable coconut farmers to sell their organic products at a premium price.

Late day Sunday Update today! We had family over today to celebrate my youngest's birthday. It was a fun-filled day of food, sun, and lots of talking.
The week went by pretty quickly. I really don't remember much of it! I have to look back at my photos to see what happened. Lol.
Monday was a bit stressful. I had an all-day takeover in a very big reader group on Facebook… that I thought was on Tuesday. Oops! I hustled right away and got the day rolling with only a 15-minute delay. My takeover went really well though! I kept everyone chatting all day long, played lots of games and gave away a lot of books. I met new people and had a great time. No complaints. People were commenting on my posts well into later in the week! I obviously had an impact on them. I did some of my posts from the pool and treated the kids to a cool and easy evening there.
Tuesday was chill. We got our weekly vegetable share and spent the evening at the pool. The kids ate dinner there since my husband was working late. I had a giant salad at home later for dinner. Tuesday was Amazon Prime Day. I didn't really sell any books but I got a great deal on something that's hush-hush for the time being. :)
Wednesday was my youngest's 7th birthday. Happy birthday, Lil'D!! She went to camp and I worked, cleaned up the house, and saw my chiropractor. Then I picked up the kids, and my mom and aunt came over. My aunt was just visiting, and my mom stayed for the night. We all went out to dinner together to celebrate D's birthday and had ice cream for dessert. My mom had an excellent night's sleep on the couch.
Thursday, Mom was still here. We went out for a walk together in the morning, had lunch together, and then I drove her to the airport in the afternoon. Her trip home didn't go as planned (don't ask) but she eventually made it home.
Friday, my husband and I took the morning off and saw Wonder Woman at the dine-in theater. It was nice seeing a movie together! We haven't done that in a long time. I enjoyed Wonder Woman immensely! It was awesome to see women kicking butt, and Diana Prince was super charming and had great depths of character that I admired. A hearty 5 stars from me! Afterward, I got the kids from camp and went grocery shopping in the afternoon. We then spent the evening at home since it was a rainy day.
Saturday, the sun was shining again, so after walking in the morning and having lunch at home, I took the kids to the pool in the afternoon.
All this week, I wrote little bits here and there on Daydreamer 4. I'm loving this story already, even if it's slow going. I'm not pushing myself on this draft, especially right around the launch of CRASH LAND ON KURAI, which is weighing heavily on my thoughts and my confidence/self-esteem. I'm hesitant to make a prediction on how well it'll do, especially since it's the first book I'm launching into Kindle Unlimited. Let's hope it exceeds expectations.
What else happened this week?
I enjoyed some Stress Away essential oils with a foot bath.
I consumed plenty of beverages.
We grew a cucumber in the green house!
Birthday ice cream celebration for D.
I worked on my knitting for a bit.
And some new copies of THE DAYDREAMER DETECTIVE came, so I'll be doing some giveaways in the months ahead!
And that's it! This week on the blog we have the launch of CRASH LAND ON KURAI and two teasers for it! Have a great week!
