Coventry were comprehensively beaten at Vicarage Road as Watford dealt a big blow to the Sky Blues' play-off hopes.
Lee Mills was passed fit but ended up on the bench for the game at Vicarage Road.
Jay Bothroyd was instead preferred to partner Lee Hughes up front.
Magnus Hedman was forced into early action, tipping a Marcus Gayle effort over the bar to concede a corner.
When the corner came in, Mo Konjic lost the flight of the ball and Wayne Brown was on hand to head home after just three minutes.
It could have been even worse a minute later when the Sky Blues were undone by another cross. Luckily, two Watford players got in each other's way and the chance went begging.
Yet another cross threatened the City goal, with Tommy Smith allowed to get his header in which he flicked just wide.
It took 15 minutes for Alec Chamberlain to be troubled by the visitors. Healy put Thompson in the clear but the Liverpudlian could only volley the ball straight at the keeper.
Chamberlain was then put in serious trouble by a backpass which he tried to clear, only to put Bothroyd in who shot wide when a pass inside to Lee Hughes might have been better advised.
City were now back in the game and putting more pressure on the Watford back line, with Healy and Thompson starting to show their class.
Thompson in particualr was catching the eye and Chamberlain had to make a brilliant save to deny the scouser when he hit a magnificent 30-yard shot.
Just when it looked like City were dominating proceedings, Smith nipped round the back of the Coventry defence and Hedman had to be alert to deny him.
The Sky Blues came desperately close to an equaliser when the ball was cleared off the line after another fine save by Chamberlain, this time from Youssef Safri.
If City were looking good going forward, they were still struggling defensively, allowing Cook in particular too much space for crosses.
As the half neared its end, City were in danger of conceding another goal from a corner and Hedman had to be alert to turn away a fine Allan Nielsen effort.
In stoppage time, Watford were given a great chance to add to their lead and they promptly did.
A free kick from just outside the area was floated into the box and Neil Cox's header found Brown, who scored his second goal and possibly put the game beyond City before the first half had even ended.
Roland Nilsson made no changes at half-time.
Double goal scorer Brown was booked for a late challenge on Bothroyd as the second half started quietly.
The first attempt of the half fell to Thompson, who shot wide. At the other end, Cox had a shot that was closer but still wide.
Lee Mills then replaced Bothroyd, who was still suffering following the challenge on him by Brown.
The game was opening up now and City had a great chance to get back into things when Mills broke free and set up Hughes, only for the striker to hit the post.
Two corners ensued and from the second Konjic had a great chance but his header went into the ground and not the net.
Thompson's cross then found Hughes, whose header went straight at Chamberlain.
The troublesome Cook beat the City offside trap and whipped in a cross that Richard Shaw did well to keep out of the net.
The resultant corner was cleared but the next ball into the box was put home by Gayle to seal victory for the Hornets as City yet again struggled to deal with the high ball into the area.
Gayle and Cook were then replaced by Noel-Williams and Fisken.
City were now playing for nothing but pride. Noel-Williams's challenge on Konjic was nothing to be proud of, however, leaving the Bosnian on the floor.
Blondeau then replaced Smith.
Breen was the next defender to hit the turf when he did well to deny Hyde.
Thompson then had an effort saved as time ran out for the Sky Blues.
Watford: Chamberlain, Cox, Galli, Brown, Robinson, Nielsen, Hyde, Mahon, Cook, Gayle, Smith.
Subs: Baardsen, Blondeau, Noel-Williams, Fisken, McNamee.
Coventry: Hedman, Quinn, Breen, Konjic, Shaw, Thompson, Safri, Healy, Chippo, Bothroyd, Hughes.
Subs: Mills, Zuniga, Flowers, Fowler, Betts.
Referee: S Baines (Chesterfield)

Duplication vs Complication!
Duplication vs Complication …. Duplication wins every single TIME! If you are duplicatable your team will never be the dynasty that I know you want. You need to take YOU out of the picture!
The more you are in the picture as the expert, the less duplicatable you become. Everyone can't be YOU! What they can do is push PLAY on a DVD or send a link to a prospect to watch a company video.
You've heard of the KISS philosophy. Keep It Simple Stupid! You need to have a system that even the youngest to the oldest team member can do. From the smartest to the average.
The simpler and more the better the duplication the bigger and more solid your team will become.
You, as the leader need to guard your team from Complication. Complication in any part of your business will cause it some significant challenges.
You are going to have people on your team that will want to reinvent the wheel. They will believe that they have a better way to build, prospect, and train. They will want to take what is a simple system and complicate it for the sake of complication.
You need to do everything you can to discourage this. Encourage the team to use the system in place and just continue to duplicate, duplicate, duplicate!
My biggest challenge when I first started building teams was to want to know everything and be the Main Go To Guy! This caused a number of challenges for my team.
- Everyone wanted to bring their prospects to me and put them in front of my presentations.
- Because I was thought of as the Answer Man my time was packed answer questions that should have been answered by the corporate office.
- Because nobody thought they could do what I could do I was the only leader and it was like having another JOB not Freedom.
I needed to take ME out of the equation and use the system and teach my team to do the same. I needed to build other leaders and that could only be done through Duplication.
The moral of the story is to use the system that is in place for your company or team. Make it as easy and duplicatable as possible. Duplication vs Complication … Duplication wins!
If you are really working towards that at the beach income and a large team of leaders you need to master easy duplication and have a system to accomplish that.

Explaining to my husband how I had seen God wasn't too difficult. He's open-minded and at that time, he was already used to my frequent, fleeting intimacies with strangers.
"She told me I needed to spend more time with God," I added.
"Well, she's probably right."
And of course she was right, even though she didn't know all the grief I carried with me or that I had been spending most of my long drives to work and class crying and screaming when I was sure the closest car was out of sight.
After she had left and the front desk paged me to tell me that I owed $700 that I didn't have, I laughed and rolled my eyes, telling God that if He wanted to send me a check along with that half-crazy Pentecostal Christian, I'd really appreciate it. Better yet, God, why don't you just let the murderer pay for my new timing belt, and then I'll have something to write home about—something readymade for the inspirational aisle of Wal-Mart.
When I walked up to the sliding glass window, I was somewhat surprised that my balance wasn't paid and even more surprised when their credit card machine rejected my check card. I had to call my husband to dictate our nearly maxed-out credit card number over the phone.
God, I imagine, has a low tolerance for sarcasm—particularly my brand of dry cynicism. Although I've always imagined the great I Am as having a rather outrageous sense of humor, I still don't see smart aleck one-offs as a favored form of levity in the celestial realm.
In sending my last fairy godmother, He was being rather direct with me. The two other strangers had affirmed the value of my body and my style when I doubted myself, but Christ, through this woman, had publicly declared the worth of my soul when I had come to doubt its maker.
During our conversation, she quoted the King James Version of 1 Peter 2:9 to me, and the word peculiar struck me. Most other versions reference our belonging to Him, and though they may be more authoritative translations, peculiar suits those moments when the knowledge of the Spirit passes from one body into another so that we may pass from darkness into light once, and then, again.

Pesticides are most dangerous...
A. When inhalation and skin exposure occurs with spraying
B. When consumed as residue on and within food
C. When measured in the blood
New York State officials would have you believe the correct answer is "C". That's right. You are free to spray pesticides in your garden and eat pesticide-laden food. However, if you live in New York, you need to be "protected" from having your blood tested for pesticides. This test is available in every other state...but not in New York!
In fact, there are many, many valuable lab tests that can be done in every state but New York.
Let's change this insane state of affairs.

Restaurant News & Reviews
Poop in a rice bowl. Flies in Dunkin and Waffle House. Restaurants that inspectors closed
You know it won't be a boring roll call of the Sick and Shut Down List of Miami-Dade, Broward and Monroe restaurants when one of the state inspection reports contains this line:
"Employee at front counter, washed hands with no soap. Employee refused to wash hands ...."
So, let's begin this listing of restaurants shut down for at least the day by state inspectors. We don't control who gets inspected or how strictly. We present it without passion or prejudice, but with two scoops of humor.
And we go in alphabetical order:
Dunkin Donuts, 95 NW 167th St., North Miami Beach — Here's our recalcitrant food service employee.
"Employee handled soiled dishes or utensils and then handled clean dishes or utensils without washing hands. Employee rubbing nose, and then engaged in food preparation. Employee at front counter, handling cash and credit card transactions and serving food.
"Employee at front counter, washed hands with no soap. Employee refused to wash hands. Employee then washed hands."
This is very disappointing and not just because sometimes management brings in a few dozen Dunkin' on Thursday mornings. (Can't decide if they're trying to make us fat and happy or fat and slow, so when the time comes to eat us, we can't get away.)
As unsettling as the hand-washing reluctance might be, is it as bad as this? "Approximately 12+ live, small flying insects in kitchen, food preparation area, or food storage area. Sitting on, and flying on all donuts, bagels, muffins, and croissants in all three holding stations, at front counter; and at back storage area."
The inspector dropped Stop Sales on all those yummy fly runways.
Once again, we advise, bring your own liquids. And ask to see the inside of the ice machine. "Accumulation of black/green mold-like substance in the interior of the ice machine."
The ice machine didn't monopolize the mold-like substances. "Build-up of mold-like substance on nonfood-contact surface. On ice cream cooler, and on sugar dispensing unit, at front counter."
This all happened on Wednesday. It was time to make the donuts again after Thursday's re-inspection.
Eat Greek Express, 3530 Biscayne Blvd., Miami — Let's talk about bad combinations of violations. Such as, there was no soap at the handwash sink in the restroom. And the only way for the public to get to the restroom was to go through a food preparation, ware washing, or food storage area.
As far as the kitchen employees' handwash sink, it had been "removed from food preparation/dishwashing area."
The inspector wrote the handwash sink "must be reinstalled in the same location where removed In the kitchen. The only other hand-wash sink is located in the restroom. Establishment is using the mopsink to perform handwashing."
And this: "No three-compartment sink is provided for warewashing. Not connected to plumbing. Establishment is using the mopsink to wash utensils. The establishment has reusable utensils that must be washed, rinsed, and sanitized. The account does not have a three compartment sink that is connected to plumbing or a commercial dishwasher to wash, rinse, and sanitize equipment or utensils."
Nobody bothered to cover the meatballs in the reach-in freezer.
Eat Greek flunked the callback inspection on Wednesday, but passed it on Thursday.
Las Brisas Café, 18190 W. Dixie Hwy., North Miami Beach — Another restaurant battlefield in the Rodents vs. Roaches conflict.
First, the rodents: "Observed approximately 15-plus rodent droppings, unable to determine if they are fresh or dry. Located by the dry storage in between the wall and reach-in cooler."
And, here come the roaches, led by the two live ones seen in the plastic container with onion... "Observed approximately three live roaches under reach-in cooler; approximately 20-plus live roaches behind the reach-in cooler by the three-compartment sink; approximately four live roaches around the mop sink...approximately two live roaches inside reach in cooler; approximately four lives roaches under the preparation table."
Some of the roaches were lost in the assault. Three dead roaches were seen next to the three-compartment sink and five all-around the kitchen sink.
Think about all the people who grab a door handle and the various levels of cleanliness of their hands. With that in your head, read "In-use tongs stored on equipment door handle between uses."
Also, the cooked chicken and cooked rice made there more than 24 hours before weren't date-marked, so who knows how long it's been in that reach-in cooler with the "accumulation of food residue" soiling the reach-in?
Raw beef and chicken in a holding unit weren't covered. Because, hey, it's not like you can find containers that'll keep the inspector partially happy in the $1 aisle at fresco y mas.
On the Saturday comeback, they didn't make it, partially because chicken, beef and cooked rice more than a day before weren't marked. Way to learn, people.
Lings Garden, 12749 Biscayne Blvd., North Miami — The inspector stopped by on Friday. The mice or rats had been there before.
"Observed 20-plus dry droppings on the floor of dry storage area and 20-plus dry droppings on rolling cart trays, located in dry storage area. Observed 10-plus dry droppings in women's bathroom."
There was no rodent No. 2 in the men's restroom. There also were no paper towels or hand-drying machine at the sink.
Back in the kitchen, "Employee washed hands with no soap. Observed employee in kitchen area."
The list of the locations the inspector described as "soiled" included the reach-in cooler interior, microwave interior and the oven interior. And there was an "accumulation of food debris/grease on food-contact surface," meaning the walk-in cooler shelves.
Speaking of the walk-in cooler, the egg rolls, barbecue ribs, cooked chicken and shrimp all were uncovered.
Lutong Pinoy Filipino Cuisine, 17048 W. Dixie Hwy., North Miami Beach — Wikipedia says Filipino cuisine is
"composed of the cuisines of 144 distinct ethno-linguistic groups found throughout the Philippine archipelago."
Don't think any of those 144 include roaches as a garnish. So, the inspector shouldn't have expected, "approximately 12 live roaches inside old reach-in cooler used as a preparation table in front the three-compartment sink; approximately four live roaches inside the reach-in cooler gasket by cooking equipments; five live roaches at dry storage area by back door; four live roaches inside the working reach cooler with food exposed."
Wait…"old reach-in cooler used as a preparation table…?" How is that not a violation?
And because they're not official parts of the dishes, with roaches in the reach-in cooler and food not covered in the reach-in cooler, Stop Sales got dropped on cooked pork, raw pork, cooked rice and cooked eggplant.
One water, bottled, no ice, please: "Accumulation of black/green mold-like substance in the interior of the ice machine."
The inspector also saw pork thawing at room temperature. That's the kind of thing that winds up in sauce, winds up inside your kid and winds up in the kid's barf.
Is it really this hard to find industrial grade Tilex? "Wall soiled with accumulated grease, food debris, and/or dust. Around the kitchen. Wall soiled with accumulated black debris in dishwashing area."
They were back open by end of the day Thursday.
Mr. Fish Peruvian Kitchen & Market, 1605 N. State Rd. 7, Margate — Mr. Fish got yanked out of the water by bugs.
A box with utensils for take out orders had two live roaches and the reach-in cooler on the cookline had four moving. A sugar container had a live one. The inspector saw one live roach walking on the door across from the bathroom and one dead one hanging there. Seven live ones scooted on the molding in the employee bathroom. Another two live ones were on the floor near the walk-in coolers. Three live ones hung out near the reach-in cooler gasket on cook line.
To speak of the dead roaches, "two dead on shelf in front counter; two dead under shelf where plates are stored; three dead as you walk into the kitchen; one dead on lid on food container in shelf in prep area; one dead on cutting board on prep area; one dead in side walk-in cooler; two dead on prep table; four dead near the dry storage shelf; and two dead near sink across from the bathroom."
On Wednesday's callback, they failed to get reopened, partially because the inspector saw "two live roaches on door across from the bathroom. Two live roaches inside oven in cook line, two live roaches on wall in prep area. Two live ones on the wall going into the kitchen. Two dead on shelf in front cook line. Two dead on door in front of bathroom. Three dead (near) fryer."
Friday's callback didn't go any better after the inspector saw four live roaches in the cook line oven and two live ones on the back wall of the prep area.
Mr. Fish finally got back in the water on Saturday.
Ruchi Indian Restaurant, 17085 Pines Blvd., Pembroke Pines — Ruchi also contributing to a very fly heavy Sick and Shut Down List.
"Observed approximately 20 flying around in dry storage area and also landing on dry storage containers. The dry storage room is a separate room from the kitchen."
But, in the kitchen, the inspector saw a couple flies in the dishwashing area and, more worrisome, eight landing on boxes of uncooked Idaho potatoes. Also spotted were six flies in front of the walk-in.
Also in the back, away from eyes of customers, "Employee handled soiled dishes or utensils and then handled clean dishes or utensils without washing hands. Observed employee cleaning dirty pans then handling clean trays of dishes."
The handwashing sink at the dishwasher was " inaccessible as the sink is detached from the wall. Observed sink falling down."
"Cloth used as a food-contact surface. Observed soiled towel used as food contact surface with naan dough and cloth napkins used to dry plates after washing, rinsing, sanitizing."
"In-use knife/knives stored in cracks between pieces of equipment. Observed four knives stored between wall and prep table."
And we're sure those cracks are pristine. You can find cooking utensil holders at Family Dollar. No excuse for this.
Out at the bar area, the handwashing sink lacked soap or anything that would dry damp hands.
On the buffet, the salads were too warm, but "Operator was advised to place salads on ice at the buffet station. Operator did not put ice."
Sabores Brasil, 4831 N. Dixie Hwy., Deerfield Beach — What Sabores didn't give in volume of citations (23, a lot, but not egregious) they gave in quality of errors (12 High Priority).
There was "one fresh rodent dropping in dry storage area on the floor next to the mayonnaise. Six fresh on the corner shelf in dry storage."
The roaches must have sent scouts. No live ones found, one dead one on a shelf above the prep table and another dead one under the prep sink.
In the air, however, there were "approximately 10 live flies in the dry storage area, two landing on flour bag. Two live flies landing on clean utensils in the prep area. Two live flies by the walk-in cooler. One live fly by the handwashing sink. Five live flies on wall on the cookline. Two live in the bar area."
Inspectors have to shake their heads watching sequences like this: "Employee began working with food, handling clean equipment or utensils, or touching unwrapped single-service items without first washing hands, employee washed parsley, then touched face and drank from open beverage container then started cutting parsley and put on gloves without washing hands."
They couldn't seem to keep food warm enough, either. Cochinas and sausage got trashed from the buffet after the manager couldn't get them up to safe temperature. A Stop Sale got dropped on the rice and beans for the same reason.
Speaking of the buffet, there was no sneeze guard keeping people from adding nose dressing to ham, cheese, eggs, sausage or the breads.
They got closed Wednesday. They got back open Monday.
Sushi Express, 17044 W. Dixie Hwy., North Miami Beach — Sushi Express got a hint and a half for their sushi grass with a Warning Issued after a Thursday inspection. Did they think the inspector would get lost on the way back Friday for the follow-up inspection?
Instead, the inspector got there and saw, "Rodent activity present as evidenced by rodent droppings found. Observed approximately four dry dropping inside of wood sushi rice mixing bowl."
The rodents might have been trying to mark their territory against the approaching roach masses. The inspector saw 20 live roaches scurrying on and under the kitchen prep table. There was one live roach and 50 pieces of roach excrement between the wall and shelf next to the ice machine and above kitchen prep table. Two live roaches hung out over a bag of flour and six roach corpses in various places on the kitchen floor.
Perhaps the flies were taken care of by "fly sticky tape hanging over food/food preparation area/food-contact equipment."
Also, the broken walk-in cooler caused the inspector to start dropping Stop Sales: 12 egg rolls, 19 pork rolls, raw chicken, tilapia, shrimp, tuna steak, egg roll, salmon, salmon sushi roll and cut lettuce all got junked.
Cardboard lined food-contact shelves at the front counter prep table.
"Bowl or other container with no handle used to dispense food."
Hope that's not the bowl that had the doo-doo.
They got the hint for Saturday's callback inspection.
Waffle House, 100270 Overseas Highway, Key Largo — You know who loves The House? We mean, other than people who forgot to eat dinner and Jonesboro, Arkansas, restaurant critics? Deion Sanders. Prime Time loves him some Waffle House. So does Deion Sanders Jr.
You know who else loves The House, at least in Key Largo? Flies.
"Observed approximately 20-plus live flies near container of soiled wet wiping cloths by ware washing area, manager removed container of soiled wiping cloths outside. Observed approximately 10 live flies in dry storage area. Observed approximately five live flies near the cook line reach-in cooler. Observed approximately three to four live flies near entrance to kitchen by ware washing area."
"Observed food preparation employee place raw bacon on flat grill, crack raw shell eggs changed gloves and began buttering toast without washing hands."
The inspector also wasn't happy that food manager Bianca wasn't able to show her food manager certification. "At the time of the inspection, there were no other certified food manager present on site; observed six employees engage in food preparation. No proof of required state approved employee training provided for any employees."
Coffee is popular among House customers. "Old food stuck to clean coffee cups near coffee station."
So, maybe you don't want to drink the coffee. What about something cold? Make sure to ask for no ice. "Accumulation of black/green mold-like substance in the interior of the ice machine."
The House got back open on Saturday.

Curse Unraveling
Spiritual intrusions are vibrational intrusions that invade your energy system and can inflict a variety of problems. Some intrusions are minor and we are exposed to them daily. They may cause us to feel tired, irritable, or sad. Other spiritual intrusions can be dramatic and pervasive. These intrusions are capable of having a lasting effect on a person causing great havoc in one's life.
Curse unraveling and thought-form deconstruction is done with compassion and powerful alliance with the compassionate allies. Curses, spells, vows, declarations, contracts, thought-forms, and promises are part of every culture that exists. They are constructs of energy that have pervasive effects and can last for lifetimes. They have been put together though the powerful energy of words and can be deconstructed, made null and void. This frees the one that was the recipient of the energy, even when it was done to self.

How The EarthBox Container Gardening Program Works
If you do not have the space for a vegetable plot, or you miss the taste of fresh greens in the middle of winter, container gardening is a great answer. He also introduces you to far more exotic varieties of edible plants that are greater suited to indoor and container gardening. Classes at school that want to teach appreciation for gardening or to assistance provide fresh meals to the cafeteria. In the warmer months, tomatoes, salads, peas, beans and a wider assortment of herbs are always present, but subsequent year I may well attempt a couple of diverse suggestions – beets, radishes and carrots possibly.
Windowsill gardening is a great program for you to grow herbs at a compact spot, but however be incredibly productive to your use may it be culinary, decorative or medicinal purposes. Here's where you will have to have to be pretty vigilant with your container vegetable garden. It also has ideas for utilizing the very same containers to develop unique crops in the spring, summer time, and fall for maximum harvests with minimum space. This book is a fantastic resource for truly-unconventional container gardeners.
To develop herbs in the garden is a really uncomplicated course of action which has a lot of rewards also, but you need to study and understand herbs just before you start off. There are supplementary procedures of drying and conserving herbs that are explained on the website at the hyperlink beneath. Since of its emphasis on taking advantage of vertical space, I think Vertical Gardening is slightly better if you have a yard, but are truly cramped for space. Your grouping will quickly fall into location if you set the tallest container in the apex of the triangle, with the other two pots on either side.
I am gathering as considerably information as I can since I've by no means carried out incredibly a lot gardening before and never have a lot of self-assurance so do not want to get it all incorrect. Given that we got a dog, I don't develop anything – she thinks I plant it for her to dig up. Good list of books – I've got a handful of books, like a single on your list – the square foot gardening book. When you are developing herbs the process is a lot more rewarding as they are pretty valuable.
Even Bountiful Container can not show you how to develop corn or pumpkins in a container, but it does clarify how to grow tomatoes, peppers, potatoes, beans, peas, herbs, edible flowers, and even a wide variety of fruits, like apples, peaches, and Meyer lemons. Compiled from the pages of Fine Gardening magazine, it supplies an in-depth tutorial on the three key facets of container gardening. Most gardening centers and on the net retailers have containers of all depths and sizes for your container gardening needs.

The generalized linear model is then introduced and shown to include multiple regression and logistic regression as special cases. The Poisson model for count data will be introduced and the concept of overdispersion described. You will then learn how to analyse longitudinal data, first using relatively straightforward graphics and simple inferential approaches. This will be followed by describing mixed-effects models and the generalized estimating approach for such data. The emphasis in the course is how to use R to fit the models listed and how to interpret the R output, rather than the theoretical background of the models. Consequently some knowledge of linear models is required (statistics.com has courses in all of them).
See also the important note on the course Requirements tab.
WEEK 1: Linear Regression, Logistic Regression
- Multiple linear regression with R
- Simple examples, dummy explanatory variables, interpreting regression coefficients; finding a parsimonious model
WEEK 2: Generalized Linear Models With R
- Logistic regression with R
- The need for a different model when the response variable is binary, the logistic transform and fitting the model to some simple examples, deviance residuals
- Multiple regression and logistic regression as special cases of the generalized linear model
- The Poisson model for count data.
- The problem of overdispersion
WEEK 3: Analysing Longitudinal Data Using R
- Examples of longitudinal data
- Simple graphics for longitudinal data and simple inference using the summary measure approach
- The 'long form' of longitudinal data
- Mixed-effects models for longitudinal data
WEEK 4: Generalized Estimating Equations
- Modeling the correlational structure of the repeated measurements
- The generalized estimating equation approach for non-normal response variables in longitudinal data
- The dropout problem
Homework in this course consists of guided data analysis problems using software and guided data modeling problems using software.
In addition to assigned readings, this course also has practice exercises, and the instructor's expert write-ups on important concepts.
Modeling in R
Anyone who is familiar with R and wants to learn how to use it to build and use statistical models.
IMPORTANT: the course will cover a variety of techniques and at different levels, to meet the needs of different groups of users. Those with minimal-to-moderate statistics preparation will want to spend time on the more extensive presentation of linear regression, and not attempt to complete all the more advanced segments on other methods. Those with more experience in statistics may not require as much time in the early stages, but will be better able to work with the more advanced segments. The goal is to provide guidance in using R to implement various modeling procedures, and not to provide conceptual development of the statistical methods. Most of the modeling techniques described here are covered in separate courses at Statistics.com. If you take this course first, you will probably not gain a full understanding of the more advanced techniques, but you will be better positioned, software-wise, to implement them when and if you take those courses. If you take the other courses first, you will have a better understanding of the concepts behind the techniques before tackling them in R, but will be less prepared software-wise when you take the conceptual courses. Either approach will work, but each has its own costs and benefits.

Applies to Windows 10.
Hi all,
For those of you (IT Pro's) moving/upgrading from Windows 7/8/8.1 to Windows 10.
For the most part, applications that work on Windows 8 and Windows 8.1 work on Windows 10.
The exceptions are going to be, applications that have a Kernel driver or Filter driver such as Disk Encryption, Antivirus (and other Security software), VPN software, etc…
There are three steps that you want to keep in mind when working on Application Compatibility.
1) For discovery and reports on compatibility problems, prioritization and rationalization, we (Microsoft) have now Upgrade Analytics (UA). This (UA) provides with an inventory of the apps installed and its usage. Which provides information about issues known to us (Microsoft).
Manage Windows upgrades with Upgrade Analytics
Get started with Upgrade Analytics
Note: It applies to Windows 10.
2) For discovery, the Application Compatibility Toolkit (ACT), UA, Microsoft Assessment and Planning (MAP) Toolkit and SCCM (and other 3rd party ISV's) software inventories.
3) For application compatibility static analysis, you can try using Aaron Margosis LuaBugLight or if you need assistance from a PFE Developer, we have two Workshops that are available for Microsoft Premier customers:
Note: It applies to Windows 10.
The Application Compatibility cookbook should help you understand what has changed, which should/will help mitigate your issues.
Windows and Windows Server compatibility cookbook: Windows 10, Windows 8, Windows 8.1, Windows Server 2012, and Windows Server 2012 R2
Our Application Compatibility Product Group has a new website for ISV's, where they (ISV's) report what's compatible with Windows 10, that as an IT Pro/IT Administrator, you might want to check out:
Ready for Windows
http://readyfor10.com which redirect to https://www.readyforwindows.com/
Ready for Windows - Frequently Asked Questions
Some items that I have run into when utilizing a Desktop/Laptop/Tablet that has a high resolution (4K resolution) capability:
Display Scaling changes for the Windows 10 Anniversary Update
Zoom Windows 10 Remote Desktop connections to older versions of Windows to improve your experience on a hi-DPI client display
And the famous Chris Jackson has the "The App Compat Guy" blogs that has a lot of tips on remedying Application Compatibility issues.
And some videos:
Windows 10 and App Compat (Part 1): What about my Windows Apps?
Windows 10 and App Compat (Part 2): How do I get to IE11?
Windows 10 and App Compat (Part 3): How do I get to the Edge?
I hope this helps,

If you've updated your store platform subscription, you may need to replace your existing store integration to ensure that all of your orders are accounted for. Replacing a store integration can also be used as a way to troubleshoot any platform where orders are failing to sync, however this should be used as a last resort. Learn more about how often orders are synced with ShippingEasy.
There are 3 steps to replacing an existing store integration:
- Archive the existing store.
- Delete the unshipped orders.
- Integrate the new store so unshipped orders will re-sync
We've detailed each step below, or you can simply skip to the section you need help with.
NOTE: As each store integration is unique, if you integrate two stores with the same orders you would see duplicate unshipped orders. Be sure to review any account settings such as Shipping Rules and Store Settings to make sure they have been updated and apply to your new store integration.
First, delete/archive the existing store:
- Navigate to the SETTINGS icon from anywhere in ShippingEasy and click on the STORES & ORDERS page under the INTEGRATION column.
- To delete a store, click on the X button that is to the right hand side of each store's information.
- A pop up dialog will open to confirm you would like to delete the store. Click OK to delete the store.
Next, delete any unshipped orders.
If you have any unshipped orders on the READY FOR PAYMENT or READY TO SHIP screen, click the 'x' to send them back to the ORDERS page. Once the orders are back on the ORDERS page, you can delete them by following these steps:
- Locate the order on the ORDERS page and check the box next to the order.
- Click the grey More button and select Clear Orders.
- Review your selection and confirm that you would like to proceed. Remember - this action cannot be undone!
Last, integrate your new store so unshipped orders will re-sync:
NOTE: you will need to be logged in with the Account Owner user login to add a new store.
- Navigate to the SETTINGS tab from anywhere in the ShippingEasy app and click on the STORES & ORDERS link. The STORES & ORDERS page will display all of the stores that you've added to your account.
- To add another store, click on the +Add New button.
- On the NEW STORE page, select your new store type from the Platform menu.
- Depending on platform, you will be prompted to provide a store URL and/or other credentials. Links to specific directions for integrating the selected store can be found underneath the credential fields. See our complete list of integration guides.
Once complete, your new stores' orders will start syncing within 15 minutes. Learn more about the initial order download.
