The CHURCH OF SÃO CAETANO () is a 17th-century church located in the civil parish of Lomba in the municipality of Lajes das Flores, in the Portuguese island of Flores, in the archipelago of the Azores.

History

In 1698, the parish of Lomba was created, and was associated with the probable construction of the primitive church.[1]

The first parochial registers were dated from 1701.[2]

The beginning of the rebuilding phase of the church began in 1753, that lasted until 1759.[3]

Between 1873 and 1888, a new phase of construction was initiated.[4] Father José António Camões, indicates that the church had a rector with a stipend that included 5 bushels, 3 alqueires and 8 of wheat, along with 8$000 réis, along with a treasurer supported by a bushel of wheat and 6$000 réis, supported by a contribution of 2$000 to the factory.[5]

A new period of restoration and construction initiated in 1880, that ultimately lead to the church's re-consecration on 24 February 1886.[6]

Architecture

The church is implanted behind a small courtyard and comprises a single-nave extending to a narrower corp (corresponding to the presbytery) and annexes that included the sacristy and annexes off the principal space.[7] The building is constructed in masonry stone plastered and painted white, with the cornerstones, pilasters, entablatures and frames in stonework.[8]

The principal facade, which includes a belfry/steeple, is divided in three sections by entablatures (on the first floor an architrave, simple frieze and cornice and the second by just frieze and cornice) and in the three sections by a vertical pilasters (with plinths and capitals on the ground floor).[9] The ground and first floor are complemented by arched windows; the first floor marked by rectangular doorway flanked by two windows and the upper floor with three windows corresponding to the openings on the ground floor.[10] Over the main door is a cartouche with the sculpted _1888_.[11]

The main door opens to a small narthex, that corresponds to the perimeter of the tower, that extends to the windbreak.[12] On either side of the narthex is a compartment accessible from the nave: opposite the epistole side is the baptistery and opposite it is winding staircase that leads to the high-choir and belfry.[13] The choir, in wood, occupies the area at the front of the nave (over the windbreak) and is counter curved, protected by a guardrail of balustrades. It is preceded by a vestibule that is under the narthex and whose vaulted covering supports the belfry.[14]

The walls of the nave have, on either side, a door that connects it to the exterior and three high windows.[15] Opposite the epistole, to the right of the door, is a pulpit with large stone corbel and balustrade guardrail in wood.[16] The door to the pulpit is the only one with double lintel surmounted by cornice. To the right of the pulpit is a door that leads to the sacristy.[17] On angles to the nave, flanking the triumphal archway of the presbytery are retables, positioned on 45 degree angles.[18] Within the main chapel, on either side, are doors that connect to the sacristy and storage annex.[19] The lateral retables and principal chapel are gilded Revivalist decoration and partially painted, while the ceiling of the nave and presbytery are decorated in wood.[20] In the sacristy is a chest of drawers and other Modernist furniture, in addition to a wood staircase that provides access to the pulpit.[21]

answer:
Church of São Caetano, located in the municipality of Lajes das Flores and the civil parish of Lomba, in the Portuguese island of Flores, was constructed in 1703 and was associated with the probable building of a primitive church.

Between 1873 and 1888, construction began on the church after a new priest, José António Camões, noted its need.

Pope Sixtus V issued a papal bull in 1588 that became effective on March 18 of the same year. The bull temporarily organized the Azores in 114 dioceses, with the northeast grouping in nine circumscriptions. In the Azores there were 63 circumscriptions and two "Governos" on the island of Madeira. Guinea was de-provinceized, with the conquest won by the Portugueses. In the archipelago the first Archbishopric was erected on Madeira. The "Governaçaõ" of the Azores, which was part of the ancient Diocese of Santiago de Cabo Verde, included the new Archbishopric of Angra, the bishoprics of São Jorge and Terceira and the half of Faial. The "Governo" of the Azores was expanded to include the bishoprics of São Vicente and Santa Maria, and that of Corvo. The period of the Archbishop of Angra-São Jorge of the Azores began to be defined as from 1551 until 1625, when the Archbishop of Lisbon, until then only the Dean of Sees, began to interfere in this tradition.

STANLEY MARCUS (born March 27, 1946) is a Senior United States Circuit Judge of the United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit and a former United States District Judge of the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida.

Early life, education and legal training

Marcus was born and raised in New York City, New York. He earned a Bachelor of Arts degree from Queens College, City University of New York, magna cum laude, in 1967. He earned his Juris Doctor from the Harvard Law School in 1971. Marcus also served on active duty in the United States Army in 1969, and served in the United States Army Reserve through 1974.[1]

Legal career

Marcus clerked for United States District Judge John Ries Bartels from 1971 until 1973, and joined the New York law firm of Botein, Hays, Sklar and Herzberg as an associate in 1974. He became an Assistant United States Attorney in Brooklyn in 1975, and in 1978 was assigned to the United States Attorney's Office in Detroit, Michigan as Deputy Chief of the “Detroit Strike Force,” which investigated organized crime in Michigan. In 1980, Marcus was appointed the Chief of the Detroit Strike Force, Organized Crime and Racketeering Section of the United States Department of Justice. In 1982, Marcus left Detroit and became the United States Attorney for the Southern District of Florida, in Miami, Florida.[2][3]

Federal judicial service

Marcus was nominated on June 20, 1985 by President Ronald Reagan to a new seat authorized by 98 Stat. 333 on the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida. He was confirmed by the United States Senate on July 16, 1985, received his commission on July 18, 1985 and was sworn in on August 16, 1985, according to a September 26, 1997 article in the Fort Lauderdale Sun-Sentinel. His service terminated on November 23, 1997, due to elevation to the Eleventh Circuit.[4]

President Bill Clinton nominated Marcus to the United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit, to a seat vacated by Judge Peter T. Fay, on September 25, 1997, after a previous Clinton nominee for the seat, Charles "Bud" Stack, had withdrawn his name from consideration after his background was raised as an issue by Bob Dole during the 1996 presidential election.[5] Even though the Senate at that time was controlled by Republicans, Marcus's nomination was considered to be very uncontroversial. The United States Senate Judiciary Committee unanimously voted in favor of Marcus's nomination on November 6, 1997, and the full Senate unanimously confirmed him on November 7, 1997. “I'm deeply honored,” Marcus told the Miami Herald in a brief interview in an article that appeared on November 8, 1997. He received his commission on November 12, 1997.[6] He assumed senior status on December 5, 2019.

Judge Marcus is a member of the Judicial Conference Committee on Federal-State Jurisdiction and has been the committee's chairman since 1992.[7]

Notable cases

In 2004, Marcus dissented when the court refused to rehear a case where the initial panel upheld a law banning LGBTQ couples from adopting children. The vote was 6–6, which warranted a denial of rehearing en banc. Marcus was joined by Gerald Bard Tjoflat and Charles R. Wilson, and Judges Barkett, Anderson, and Dubina filed separate dissents. [8]

Personal life

Marcus' wife is Judy. They have two children, Jonathan and Elizabeth. Jonathan is a medical professional in Rochester, NY. Judge Marcus is a known movie buff. Marcus teaches _Religion and the Constitution_ and _Trial Advocacy_ at Brooklyn Law School.[9]

Running a business is no smooth ride. The best business leaders are the ones who manage to get a balance between the effervescence, constant change and human nature of the people in their organization and all the business data and rational decisions they have to make in order to keep the company moving forward.

At the end of the day, the success of any business is based on its profits. But no profit can be made without people.

It’s impossible to fit into a spreadsheet cell the impact an employee can have over the bottom line, try as you might. But that impact exists and it can be influenced by how well an employee is trained within the company.

Since it’s so hard to see crystal clear ROI for how more knowledgeable workers increase company profitability, training budgets are among the first to be cut in hard times. In many cases however, this decision can turn out to be what the Brits say “penny-wise and pound-foolish”.

A cut training budget may positively affect cash flow in the short term, but may trigger some serious negative effects in the long run.

Providing relevant learning opportunities and professional development for employees is certainly a significant investment. Couple this with the aforementioned foggy ROI, and you can’t really blame managers for searching for options and consider all the ways to cut training costs.

Going online might be the perfect middle ground. Through e-learning employees can still get the training they need, while managers can optimize the training expenses.

Here are five ways online training is more cost-effective than the traditional way of supporting employees to become more knowledgeable and productive.

1. No more costs with training facilities

Traditional training needs physical space. Whether there is a training room available in the building or it must be rented somewhere else, the availability of this physical space comes with a cost. If employees — or trainers, for that matter — need to go to a different location, in a different district, region or country, travel and accommodation costs increase the training bill.

What’s more, if a training program or session lasts for more than a few hours, lunch should be provided, at the cost of the beneficiary company. That’s because people can’t absorb new information efficiently when they’re hungry. No one is their true self when they’re hungry, so lunch is actually a small price to pay.

All these costs disappear completely in the case of online training.

Renting a physical space for delivering training becomes unnecessary, and so does the corresponding travelling and accommodation.

Both trainers and trainees still need to eat to function properly, but since they’re not tied to one physical location they can do this on their own terms and on their own resources.

2. Easier maintenance and management of training materials

In a traditional face-to-face training setting hard copies of learning materials and various printed hand-outs are inevitable. Depending on the class size and repeatability of the course, the costs related to printing can become considerable.

And when new rules are to be included in the training materials the old printed ones become obsolete. Trees are destroyed and ink wasted.

Since online training makes no use of ink and paper, trees are thus saved, and so are money.

Perhaps developing training materials for online courses takes as much time as for traditional ones, but maintaining them is so much easier and completely free. The same training materials, once created, can be used and reused as many times as needed, without recurring costs.

Plus, whenever these online materials need to be updated based on latest standards or modified in one way or another, this can be done without spending a dime.

3. Faster turnaround

The main drawback of traditional training is that it was designed to meet the trainer’s needs. It’s always easier for a trainer to deliver one session in front of many trainees than to spend time with each individual, basically repeating the same thing over and over.

But managers are starting to care about learners’ needs more, as they realize they are the ones who must improve their performance and consequently the bottom line of the company.

Online training puts more control into trainees’ hands. They can decide when to attend a training course and how much time to allocate to it. If the means through which they access the course — moreover a company LMS — has a responsive design, they can also decide where they need to be when accessing that course.

Being able to access the right piece of information at the time they most need it, no matter what device they use, makes employees better remember and recall training materials. More to that, the time they spend away from their core tasks is significantly reduced.

Cheaper does not necessarily mean better

Success stories of companies that turned the gear towards online training and witnessed significant reductions in costs abound. According to an older study, IBM managed to cut approximately one third of its previous training budget after going digital, to give one example.

However, plenty of companies make haste to deliver online training and leave the traditional training classroom in the rear-view mirror, but don’t witness the same positive results as IBM did. It all depends on the company’s learning needs and readiness to adopt technology.

Sometimes, a blended approach to training — combining classroom instruction with online courses — may be an even better solution for offering learning opportunities for employees while optimizing budgets.

Rider

My mom has always been supportive of my career as a musician. My dad never got around to it. The only bands he’d ever listen to were the Beatles and Rolling Stones. He wanted the Beatles played at his funeral, which he got. My mom never talks about the music that she listens to  except for her uncle Alan who toured the Midwest in the 50’s as a troubadour;  he’s still famous in our town.

I haven’t been home in a while, not that I miss it much. I moved to LA when I was 23. I was bored by the people at home. I was bored by my job at the grocery store and tired of not seeing anything. When I moved I had most of my” LA-experiences” during the first six months, right drugs- wrong people, that sort of thing. I thought the substances would inspire me as it seemed to inspire others but that never happened. I also played some gigs with local small-timers but it didn't amount to much.

My fourth summer in LA came around and thats when I met Terrie outside a used-car shop. I’d been looking to replace dad’s station-wagon that I’d driven to the coast. As  I was standing there looking over some of my options I saw the glint of peroxide-blonde hair and sweaty fishnet stockings out of the corner of my eye. I remember the coral lipstick, which I later learned was her favorite, so shiny on those lips. She walked up to me to bum a cigarette. As I’d recently quit smoking I apologized and told her I didn’t have any on me. Disappointed, she asked me for a lighter to borrow if she could bum a smoke from a man that was standing by a newsstand across the street. I didn’t have a lighter either but I reached into my vest pocket for the book of matches I always kept there. As I handed it to her she thanked me and smiled in the most heartbreaking way. I knew that I had to make her mine. Although I was more of what you might call the singer-songwriter type than a rocker, this girl with her glam rock look was something else. Underneath that make up I could see that she was pretty in an old-fashioned way. Later, when we were married, I used to tell her that she was like a burning wheat field blowing in the summer wind; she never understood what I meant and said I was a sucker. Our courtship was quick because her parents were very religious. Terrie was only 21 when we married but they consented and gave us their blessing because I was “a good God-fearing Midwestern boy.”

	Through Terrie I got more involved in the scene and discovered I had a knack for writing catchy riffs. I joined some of the locals who were in need of a guitarist and not long after that we played as support band for a famous band on their US tour. Months of touring and debauchery followed but after rising tensions in the band and disagreements with our management we decided to call it quits.

         Then Terrie got pregnant. She was excited but seeing as her job at the record store didn’t pay much and my being unemployed, I was worried to say the least. Fortunately I lucked out in joining as a touring and studio session guitarist with a band that had just signed  deal with a big label. Unfortunately this meant being on the road for long stretches at a time. Things quickly went downhill in our relationship and it was while touring in Japan that I got the terrible news that Terrie had suffered a miscarriage. She was inconsolable and quit her job. I tried to be home as much as I could to care for her but my obligations took me out of town again. Things between us never recovered after that and I blame myself. Two months after the loss of our child I got a call from Roy, a sergeant in the Marines who tells me he’s in love with my wife and she is in love with him and they are going to Germany. While this news hurt at first I can’t say I was surprised; I kept my nose to the grind to give me something else to think about. One tour lead to another and after 5 years the band went through a lineup change and I was thrust into the role of frontman. Evidently I did something right as we quickly started selling out the largest arenas and stadiums. We got through 3 good tours before ticket sales started to dwindle. These days we play to fairly large clubs and such, I don’t complain, seeing as it brings in good money. I live a private and enjoyable life.
	I’ve never met Terrie since our marriage ended but last I heard Roy was killed in a combat exercise and she had gotten remarried to a journalist. Even though our relationship went to pieces I still cherish terrie and our times together.
	At the venues we play the band usually has extensive requirements to ensure their comfort. My only requests on the rider are one ham sandwich and two fingers of bourbon. I usually go out into whichever city we’re playing that night and walk around while eating my sandwich. Even though the band is still fairly popular people seldom recognize me off the stage. I also try to find a bookstore to buy something by a local author for those long flights and bus rides. Just before showtime I’ll find a quiet spot in the venue and raise a glass for my Terrie.

question: What factors led to the divorce between the narrator and Terrie?

answer: The narrator's long-term touring with his band and his wife Terrie's subsequent relationship with another man are likely the main factors that led to the divorce between the narrator and Terrie.

text: Terrie's miscarriage and the depression that followed is listed as a reason in the story.

refinement: The narrator's long-term touring with his band, Terrie's miscarriage and following depression, and Terrie's subsequent relationship with another man are likely the main factors that led to the divorce between the narrator and Terrie.

answer: The narrator explicitly mentions that the miscarriage and Terrie's subsequent depression played a large role. He thinks he didn't manage to be there for her despite staying close for two months. His being away often also played a part. Another reasonable guess is that Terrie wanted to distance herself from him because her miscarriage happened with his child, and she wants to leave that behind her.

answer: The narrator was on the road a lot, and Terrie suffered a miscarriage.

text: It's omitted that Terrie was also unfaithful post miscarriage.

refinement: The narrator was on the road a lot, and after Terrie suffered a miscarriage, she left the narrator for another man.

answer: The narrator's long absences from home, the death of their child, and the infidelity of Terrie.

text: There's a slightly different connotation between "death of their child" and "had a miscarriage". "Had a miscarriage" would be more accurate.

refinement: The narrator's long absences from home, Terrie's miscarriage, and the infidelity of Terrie.

question: Explain the narrator's experiences with drugs.

answer: The narrator experimented with drugs when he first moved to LA, but it didn't inspire him.

text: "I thought the substances would inspire me as it seemed to inspire others but that never happened."

answer: The narrator doesn't elaborate much on how his experiences went with drugs except for mentioning that he thought they would inspire him. It's a common idea for people to think that drugs can help with inspiration. The narrator quickly finds out that drugs didn't really inspire.

text: The second sentence is unnecessary.

refinement: The narrator doesn't elaborate much on how his experiences went with drugs except for mentioning that he thought they would inspire him. The narrator quickly finds out that drugs didn't really inspire.

text: "I thought the substances would inspire me as it seemed to inspire others but that never happened."

answer: The narrator's experiences with drugs were largely unsuccessful, as they did not inspire him as they did others. He also did not find much success in the LA music scene, until he met Terrie, who introduced him to a more active music scene. After joining a band and touring with them, he became the frontman, but eventually ticket sales started to dwindle. Despite his failed relationship with Terrie, he still cherishes their time together.

text: The only relevant aspect towards the question is the first sentence. The rest is irrelevant.

refinement: The narrator's experiences with drugs were largely unsuccessful, as they did not inspire him as they did others.

text: "I thought the substances would inspire me as it seemed to inspire others but that never happened," corroborates the first sentence.

answer: The narrator's experiences with drugs were not positive. He tried drugs but they did not inspire him.

text: Just because the drugs didn't inspire the narrator, it doesn't mean the experiences weren't positive. This is presumptuous and could be left out. "Unsuccessful" would be more accurate.

refinement: The narrator's experiences with drugs were not successful. He tried drugs but they did not inspire him.

question: Summarize Terrie's storyline.

answer: Terrie was married to the protagonist for a few years before she left him for a Marine. The protagonist was heartbroken and never saw her again.

text: How they met and why they marries is omitted.

refinement: Terrie, who works at a record store, meets the narrator at a car shop. They get married quickly after falling in love due to her parents' traditional lifestyle. They were for a few years before she left him for a Marine. The protagonist was heartbroken and never saw her again.

text: It's omitted that Terrie had a miscarriage and the relationship started to fall apart.

refinement: Terrie, who works at a record store, meets the narrator at a car shop. They get married quickly after falling in love due to her parents' traditional lifestyle. Terrie gets pregnant, but miscarries. This causes their relationship to disintegrate while the narrator is touring. before she left him for a Marine. The protagonist was heartbroken and never saw her again.

text: It's omitted that Terrie married a journalist.

refinement: Terrie, who works at a record store, meets the narrator at a car shop. They get married quickly after falling in love due to her parents' traditional lifestyle. Terrie gets pregnant, but miscarries. This causes their relationship to disintegrate while the narrator is touring. She ends up leaving him for a Marine, but marries a journalist after the Marine dies in combat. The protagonist was heartbroken and never saw her again.

text:
I am getting married next year and I had this nightmare I wrote down.  It made me cry in a way I rarely experience.  I apologize for its inevitable typos and poor quality.  I just had to share.

Jaclyn,
We were together for 8 magical years.  Three blessed years of marriage.  Every moment was amazing.  It had its ups and downs but no one in the world could doubt our love.    Nothing in the world matter besides you, then came that day.  August 12th  the day the world turned upside down.   A rainy day, warm and gentle on my face as I wheeled you in the hospital, the doctor took you from me and told me to wait in the lobby.  Four hours of pacing, four hours of never knowing what was coming next, no notice of progress or status.  Then the nurse came out and said, “Mr. MacRory, please come with me.”  I was brought to a hallway and shown a little girl in a pink cap and socks.  My daughter, Melody, smiling back at me, I had never felt such joy.  Then it all came crashing back.  I was told there were complications with the birth and that my wife, my wife who was my rock, had not survived the violent birth.  I was given a few minutes to say my good byes.  How could I express my loss or say what I wanted to.  How could I possibly say good bye to the woman who made very day brighter.  I cried and said how much I loved you, or how I could never go on living without you.  Two or three minutes I was given with her before I had to be removed from the room.   Two minutes and that was the last time I ever saw that soft delicate face.  I asked the nurse if you had seen your daughter before you left us.  She said you had and that your face beamed with pleasure at seeing your little girl cry, before your heart gave out.  I had to place you in the ground the same week that I had to care for our new and lovely daughter.   It was the ultimate perversion.  The joy in seeing my daughter, every moment with her is special, yet every time I saw her smile or see her eyes light up, I saw you, my wife who was not here to enjoy these moments.  I went to your grave every night for 3 months and stared at that piece of rock that was all I had left of you.  I struggled to keep a grip on my life for a bit, but I pulled through knowing you would have had I left you.  After all, I had a wonderful new daughter, who would need to grow up knowing what a magnificent woman her mother was.  Being a single dad was no picnic but I pulled through knowing there were others that counted on me.    I also knew what I saw your face again that you, always joking, would have something witty to say had I failed.   I wasn’t going to give you the satisfaction of being able to say you would have done better.  I was going to raise Melody to be as amazing and special as you were.  I had a picture of you by my bed and I would look at it every night and softly cry in bed missing you lying next to me.  I know you would always have something comforting to say to me.  I would grade my student’s papers and come across something amusing and I would stand up to go show you and forget that the house was quiet and that I had no one to show this to.  I started to get better day by day, time heals all wounds as they say.  It never takes away the scars.  I took Melody to figure skating classes knowing that you would have loved to see her doing her jumps and winning those trophies.  Not only did she have your smile and eyes, she had your brain thank god.  She succeeded in almost everything she tried.  I raised her with not only my ideals but I would always considered what you would say when an issue aroused.  I would always tell her stories about you and what an amazing person you were.  It is something I can never forget.  I miss you still after all these years, always stopping to look at a cat or a hummingbird knowing how much you would have smiled at those sights.  Melody got into high school with incredible grades, not only finding success at figure skating but also taking up my skills at bowling.  She won 3 gold medals in figure skating and made the varsity bowling team.  I even, against my better judgment, gave her my blessing when she started dating her dancing partner Kurt, knowing you would have.   She went to college and earned her doctorate in Pharmacology, something I know would have filled you with endless joy.  She got a job testing new medication for cancers.  Soon after she married her high school sweetheart like I did.  Our granddaughter was born July 16th, your birthday.  Melody named her after you.  I held baby Jaclyn in my arms and my eyes filled with tears instantly, joy at having a beautiful healthy granddaughter, and immense sadness knowing you weren’t there to share this moment with me.

I lost you 33 years ago.  I never once took off my wedding band.  I lay here in my hospital bed knowing I will finally get to see you soon.  Melody is working around the clock trying to find something to slow the cancer eating at my body, but I know nothing can help.  I feel dread knowing how she will feel losing her father, or knowing I will never get to attend my granddaughter’s graduation.  I told her not to worry, but she has your stubbornness built deep inside her.  I looked at that picture of you every night before I went to bed and talked to you, told you about my day and what was troubling me, knowing you would have known the right thing to say every time.  I wish I had that picture with me now.  Looking at your beautiful face would always ease my fears.   Childish as it seems, I fear the end.  I always feared the unknown.  Tomorrow though I will be back in your arms a place that seems so far off and yet so familiar it seems like I last kissed you a few minutes ago.  I have, since our first moment together, loved you.  After losing you all those years ago, that love never ceased, and I will continue loving you into whatever awaits me.  "After all, to the well-organized mind, death is but the next great adventure"  I will see you soon my love, we have so much to catch up on..

Your loving and dedicated husband,

Eddie

Barbra walked into the print shop with a folder of photographs.

"Welcome to AlphaGraphics," said the Customer Service Representative, a short blond man whose sleeves were slightly too long for his arms and whose name tag read LESLIE.

"I need twelve color laser copies of these." She started to hand them to him, then paused. "They're graphic photographs of murder victims. Legally I can't tell you anything about them, but I wanted to warn you before you open this folder."

She handed him the folder.

"You'd like these full color?"

"Yes. Can you dial down the red a little?"

He opened the folder. "Ah, yes. I see, you probably do want to take some of that out."

Barbra was drinking her coffee when she nodded, causing a tiny spill down the side of her mouth, which she swiped away. "Don't take it out, just dial down the saturation."

Leslie motioned her to a table. "Let's take a closer look."

They sat down and Barbra removed her scarf. With one glove she wiped the froth that had been ejected from the oval hole in the coffee cup, wincing as her tongue found a burn inside her mouth.

"You can see all of these, where his head is basically destroyed by a shotgun blast, were taken with a point and shoot camera at the scene. It had a shitty LED flash, so all the darks have red in them."

He nodded. "And you'd like me to take that down a notch?"

"Only on the head shots," she agreed, ignoring his reaction. "The lighter ones of the woman were taken inside the house. There wasn't as much blood, as you can see."

He studied the photographs, concentrating, then nodded. "You'd want that contrast of the blood on the wall there, and full saturation. Her head looks fine here; you wouldn't even know she'd done what she'd done."

"No, she was very...clean about it."

Another customer entered the shop. Leslie waved and pointed at his watch. It was apparent they knew each other.

"And these last ones, of the teenager, I need blown up to eleven by seventeen. These are the, I guess you could say extraordinary, ones?"

Leslie furrowed his brow and reddened. "Indeed."

Barbra rose and wound her scarf back around her neck. It was a turquoise scarf, and didn't match her coat or her outfit. "That's what happens when you don't talk things through."

Leslie sealed the folder of photographs in a job jacket and shook her hand. "It's always best to keep everything out in the open."

"Better for you, and everyone else. Keep those off the interwebs, you."

Leslie winked and motioned to the waiting customer that he was available.

Two Pizza Hut workers have been sacked after a video appeared to show them smoking from a bong during a shift.

The short clip seemingly shows two young people taking hits from the bong - a water pipe or filtration device often used for smoking cannabis .

In the first 10-seconds, a young man in Pizza Hut uniform is seen holding a cigarette lighter to the bowl while sucking from the mouthpiece.

He then pulls his face away from the large white pipe, coughing and laughing several times as he exhales with a splutter or two.

The Miami Heat and San Antonio Spurs seem to be involved in a pretty even matchup heading into Game 3 of the NBA Finals, allowing the location of the next few games the potential to cause a bit more havoc than it would in most series. The location, of course, will be the AT&T Center in San Antonio because -- since 1985 -- the NBA uses a 2-3-2 format for the championship series.

The guise of homecourt advantage isn't always as advantageous as some would like to believe, but the fact that Miami wasn't able to take a 2-0 advantage at home before heading into Texas with three games in opponent territory has caused some to wonder if the Spurs might be able to finish the series in Game 5 in front of their home fans instead of ending up in Miami for Games 6 and 7.

The belief that San Antonio should now win the series simply because they didn't lose both games in Miami isn't exactly sound logic, as the above link explains in great detail, but it's always sort of interesting to know what has happened in previous series as a sort of benchmark for the current one. No NBA Finals is created the same, obviously, but it's sometimes fun to see how things unfolded in the past.

  ---------------- ----- ------------
  Home games won   No.   Won series
  Game 3 only      2     0
  Game 4 only      3     1
  Game 5 only      0     0
  Games 3 and 4    4     2
  Games 3 and 5    5     1
  Games 4 and 5    5     1
  All 3            3     3
  None             6     0
  ---------------- ----- ------------

The 2011 Dallas Mavericks are the only team to ever win Games 4 and 5 and also win the series, but the above statistics show that it's obviously a good indicator that if the home team takes cares of business during the "3" portion of the 2-3-2 format, that team is going to have a pretty good chance of winning the series.

The rest isn't necessarily important as anomalies are abundant and all over the place -- aside from no team ever winning a Finals series by going undefeated exclusively on the road -- but it's likely not an exercise in complete futility if one wants to say that winning NBA Finals home games are a good indicator of whether or not teams are going to win the series ... however obvious it might be to most readers.

Whether or not the 2-3-2 format needs to be changed is going to largely be up to personal preference, but it does seem a 2-2-1-1-1 format or something similar might be more beneficial to evening things out. If that were to occur, however, many other concerns would likely pop up ... and the anomalies regarding home teams winning might occur just as often.

question: Do home teams usually win?

answer: Based on the statistics in the passage, it seems that home teams usually win the NBA Finals series.

text: In the passage, it states "that if the home team takes cares of business during the "3" portion of the 2-3-2 format, that team is going to have a pretty good chance of winning the series." This can be used as supporting evidence to prove that the response given is accurate.

answer: According to the author of this article, there is no evidence either way.

text: This is an incorrect response as it is stated in the passage that if home teams take care of business during game three, then they have a higher chance to win. The proper answer to this question needs to be written.

refinement: According to the author of this article, the home team has a good chance to win if they win game 3 of the series.

The author of this article contends that where the games occur-at home or away-seems to have little bearing on the outcome of the games.

Much of a shop’s success sits squarely on the service manager’s shoulders. With duties that include scheduling work, assigning the right tech for each job, and communicating with customers before, during, and after repairs, the service manager’s job is arguably the toughest one in the shop. He’s like the quarterback of the shop. That’s where fleet repair software comes in. The right program helps with all aspects of the heavy duty service manager job, making it much easier.

Scheduling Work With Fleet Repair Software

Maybe you have a large customer base constantly calling and needing work. Or maybe your shop is still in the growing process. That means having to juggle the increasing work coming in as the business’s reputation builds. Either way, scheduling repairs is a time-consuming balancing act. It requires the heavy duty service manager knowing what customers need and where those jobs fit with openings in the techs’ schedules.

Fleet repair software puts everyone’s schedule in front of the heavy duty service manager at a glance. This helps increase the throughput of the shop, a high priority for all managers. Customers can drop off their trucks and know when they’ll be worked on, and plan accordingly. That alleviates downtime for them and keeps techs busy throughout the day. Everyone would rather have consistent workflow instead of hours of idle time followed by a stress-filled afternoon of trying to cram too many jobs in before closing time.

Assigning the Right Tech for the Job

Heavy duty service repair managers know that picking the wrong tech for the job costs money. Some techs do certain jobs more efficiently, so they take less time to perform specific repairs. That opens the door for the tech to bill more hours in a day and the customer gets their truck back sooner. In other cases, picking the right tech eliminates a possible comeback.

Handling both scenarios properly pushes your profit margin higher and improves customer satisfaction, and it’s all possible with fleet repair software. Just as software keeps the shop schedule at the ready, it also shows which techs are available and when. That way, managers assign the right tech for each job, ensuring quick turnaround, optimal repairs, and happy customers.

Helping the Heavy Duty Service Manager Keep Customers in the Loop

Let’s face it: managing fleet accounts and keeping customers happy directly affects whether you get all their heavy duty repair work or just part of it. Developing a great working relationship takes time. It takes trust, and the more your customers trust you, the more work your shop gets. There’s nothing more frustrating than finding out that work was sent to the dealer or the shop just down the road when your shop could have taken on the job. As a shop owner, you know that the more you work on a truck, the better you can service it in the future. Like a jealous girlfriend, you don’t want anyone else touching those trucks. And you won’t wonder what was previously done on the vehicle and whether it was done right.

Effective fleet repair software takes all of that into account. The program not only acts as a “medical record” for trucks, keeping the service history on electronic file for easy review. Plus, it also keeps the customer in the loop. With a portal available to customers on their mobile devices, they can submit service requests, see their fleet’s history, check on repair progress, approve work, and pay you. That keeps the customer in the loop and gives them access to information. It’s an element of transparency that builds trust and deepens loyalty.

The best part about heavy duty repair software isn’t that it makes the heavy duty service repair manager’s job easier. It’s that it does that on top of doing so much more. The right program optimizes scheduling, work assignments, and customer relations, but it also helps with invoicing, ordering parts, and bookkeeping. In short, heavy duty repair software takes your shop’s efficiency to levels you’ve only dreamed of.

answer: It says that the right software helps with scheduling which takes up most of their active time. The author said there are two types of schedules. One is where a shop has to juggle how their customer service network handle the increasing repairs coming in as their business’s reputation builds. The other is when they are still in the growing process. Either way, the service manager will have to allocate a place for the customer’s truck inside the shop’s schedule. Better scheduling will definitely help and with better service, the shop owners hope to get more work to increase their turnover. With the right program in place, the shop owners hope to see better organization and better efficiency.
