"I-think-I-can-I-think-I-can-I-think-I-can."-The Little Engine That Could Did you ever checked out the tale about the Little Engine That Could?
Sure, it's a kids's book that can be reviewed in about 5 minutes. However the lesson of a little train pulling a larger train over a mountain can set you up for a lifetime of success.
Exactly what's that lesson, you ask? It's real simple: you can do anything you think you can do.
If you think you can improve your life, you can. If you think you're stuck, and are indicated for a below-average life, well, you're right about that.
On your trip to an effective life you'll want to upgrade your thoughts. Once you do that, everything else will form. After all, your thoughts cause habits, habits lead to practices, and habits create your life.
The next time you've got an uphill battle, what are you going to think? Resemble the little blue engine. Think. Then do. You'll be impressed at your possible once you get your ideas on your side.
Right here's 9 methods to use the power of hopefulness to update your thoughts on your course to living an excellent life.
9 Steps To Positive Thinking
1. Speak to Yourself the Right Way
You can do this by remaining favorable and offering your subconscious mind the right "guidelines" to assist you attain any objective. That's right, we give you approval to talk with yourself. A lot. Out loud. Simply make sure you're saying the right stuff.
2. Avoid Adverse Self-Talk
Bunches of individuals talk themselves from accomplishing their objectives before they ever take their initial step toward achieving them. You can be much better than that by learning how you can stay clear of adverse thoughts and rather focus on the favorable.
3. Embrace a Positive Belief System
Thoughts are things. Ideas create your truth. And your ideas are a result of your beliefs. Ask yourself a severe concern: are your beliefs helping you, or hurting you? If your beliefs don't allow you to develop the life you want to live, it's time to make an upgrade.
4. Think Your Way to Success
People who are successful have the tendency to mostly have ideas of positive outlook for wellness, wealth, and abundance. You can pick whether you'll find out and grow from events that take place in your life, or whether you'll act the victim.
5. Step Up Your Expectations
If you do not anticipate terrific things to happen in your life, you will not acknowledge them when they do. Part of this suggests that you need to think that your biggest days precede you, not behind you. Until you embrace this belief, your life won't be as satisfied with delight, success and joy as it could.
6. State "Yes"
Great things take place when you start to say "yes" to life. You become more enthusiastic. You enjoy life more. You take even more risks, which means you grow much faster. Saying "yes" to life permits you to live to your possible and delight in the trip at the same time.
7. Get Rid of Your Brain Scrap
Everyone holds around psychological baggage. The happiest, most successful people can replace the "scrap" with positive thinking. It's a never-ending cycle, however required if you wish to be optimistic and live well.
8. Take Daily Actions Toward Your Objectives
Success is attained with a couple of easy behaviors that you repeat daily. Absolutely nothing more, absolutely nothing less. When you think about any effective, pleased or healthy individual, you'll recognize that the individual has done particular things regularly in order to reach that level of success. So do not overcomplicate things as you build your life; do something each day that will get you to where you wish to be, and then persist up until you get it.
9. Dream Big, Think Huge, Act Big
Lots of people go for a typical life. If that's what you genuinely want, that's great. But most individuals want more. Identify exactly what you want to finish with your life, and make use of the power of positive thinking to get it. It's as easy as that …
So the next time you've got a big difficulty, or are going through a rough patch, simply bear in mind that little blue engine, and repeat after me: "I-think-I-can, I-think-I-can …

Allen Paul produces stunning display to claim first Tour title in three years
Alan Paul last night roared to his second Short Mat Players' Tour victory at the Watson Stadium.
The big Mid-Ulster man won the prestigious Irish Open title - the second world ranking event on the SMPT calendar - defeating fellow countryman Gerry McCabe 11-5 in a gripping final.
Paul's last big win on the tour was back in April 2013 when, in another all-Ireland final, he pipped Kevin Conroy to the World Masters crown.
There was no hiding his delight following his latest success. He topped his group, which included William Morrison, finishing with an unblemished record to claim a place in the knockout phase.
Paul then went into overdrive, beating Andrew Buchanan, Kevin Conroy, Ivan Craig and Sean Conroy before ending the challenge of Paul Beattie in the semi-final, winning a tense affair 8-6 after Paul had ditched the jack that his opponent could do little about.
"I'm thrilled with this win," he said. "I've waited long enough as my last SMPT success was three years ago. It was a tough couple of days, but I expected that. These tournaments are full on."
Paul dominated the showcase decider, moving into an early 4-2 lead. Things looked ominous for McCabe as he fell 7-2 behind. Although he pulled one back, he simply failed to cope with the accuracy of Paul's drawing shots.
With the score at 9-5 - and Paul lying another two - McCabe decided to shake hands.
Results: Cup quarter-finals: V Andersson 7 A Corrigan 8; P Beattie 13 H Gray 2; A Paul 13 S Conroy 8; PJ McCrossan 7 G McCabe 10; Semi-finals: Corrigan 7 McCabe 8; Beattie 6 Paul 8; Final: McCabe 5 Paul 11; Bronze medal: Beattie 11 McCabe 5; Shield quarter-finals: D Winmill 14 R Bell 7; G Moen 11 J Lax 2; S O'Neill 12 K Tinney 4; J Rankin 10 AThompson 9; Semi-finals: Winmill 8 Moen 7; O'Neill 5 Ranking 9; Final: Winmill 12 Ranking 8; Plate quarter finals: K McDermott 3 N Haire 11; R Macken 4 T Bell 12; F McDermott 4 R Smyth 10; D McCann 3 J Erskine 8; Semi finals: Haire 11 Bell 3; Smyth 2 Erskine 11; Final: Erskine 8 Haire 6.

Lynching Charlie Lynch Trailer (2012)
20 April 2012 Factual 100 mins
In 2006, Charlie Lynch was invited by the civic leaders of Morro Bay, CA to open a medical marijuana dispensary within the city limits. Offered a business license and asked to join the Chamber of Commerce, Lynch opened and maintained his business according to the most rigorous standards available. However, marijuana remains a Class 1 narcotic according to the DEA, and Lynch's business soon became the target of a large Federal investigation. This film explores the horrific descent into hell faced by Mr. Lynch - previously a law abiding citizen without so much as a speeding ticket, as he is cast as a Pablo Escobar and thrown into Federal detention.

Second Suite in F
By Gustav Holst
To play the media you will need to update yourFlash plugin.
Concert Band (Score & Parts) - Grade 3.5
(Grade 3 Edition). Composed by Gustav Holst (1874-1934). Arranged by Robert Longfield. Boosey & Hawkes Concert Band. Boosey & Hawkes #M051661954. Published by Boosey & Hawkes (HL.48019356).
Item Number: HL.48019356
9x12 inches.
Along with his First Suite in E-flat, Holst's Second Suite is among the most treasured landmark works for band. In this adaptation, Robert Longfield has adjusted the extreme ranges, used the instrumentation of the contemporary young concert band, and added liberal cues (particularly for oboe, bassoon, and horn). However, the integrity of the original (form, keys, harmony, etc.) is completely intact. An absolute must for young bands. (11:00) (Grade 3.5).

Position switches frequently pay dividends in college football
Switching positions happens often in college football, and many times it is just what a player needs to succeed. Jeremy Fowler looks at why new roles are sometimes necessary.
Rick Neuheisel projected Anthony Barr as a linebacker or a box safety out of high school, an elite athlete who belonged close to the line of scrimmage.
Only one issue, the former UCLA coach says: Barr's family made clear it wanted him at running back during the recruiting process, Neuheisel said. The coach promised he would fulfill their wish.
Barr was a hybrid running back/tight end in 2011 and had potential there, but Neuheisel said he knew Barr might eventually be better served elsewhere. So did an NFL personnel executive who recalled to CBSSports.com that "they were playing him in a pistol offense as a wing, tight end blocker ... a complete waste of talent."
Neuheisel said he was ready to move Barr to defense when he got fired after the 2011 season. Barr asked new coach Jim Mora for the switch, and 13.5 sacks later, the outside linebacker is a projected first-round pick.
Barr's skill set is unique, but a player changing positions isn't.
"I don't know that being out of position is the right (term), but you see players who you know could do some special things at other positions," said Neuheisel.
As college football programs open camp this week and next, nearly every team will debate whether certain players should switch roles to maximize potential. Happens every year, mostly with freshmen, and success stories abound.
Take the Dolphins' No. 3 overall pick in April's draft, Oregon's Dion Jordan, a wide-receiver-turned-outside-linebacker. Virginia Tech quarterback Logan Thomas has legit NFL potential but came to school as a tight end.
Coaches understand the gravity of the situation: A move can help a player or set him back.
"I'm guessing about 25 percent of a recruiting class will play somewhere else from where they did in high school," Colorado coach Mike MacIntyre said.
A coach's job is to assess the roster and spread the wealth accordingly. They often recruit high school quarterbacks and running backs that ultimately won't stay there.
Most coaches say the same: Position switching usually works, and if it doesn't, you admit the mistake and move on. But you never force the change on the player unless they are comfortable with it.
A miscue can cost a player NFL value. More than ever, programs are recruiting versatile athletes who could thrive at several positions, coaches say.
"There's no doubt it's a gamble," said Florida State coach Jimbo Fisher, who in recent years has moved Lamarcus Joyner from safety to corner and Cam Erving from the defensive line to offensive line. "You have to make decisions based on the information you have at the time and you go with it. If you don't, you know what you say? I made a mistake. Move you back."
Players might cling to their high school positions, but Wisconsin linebacker Chris Borland believes most are open-minded because "at this level, you just want to see the field." The new spot usually has a depth concern.
Joyner calls his senior-year slide from corner to safety a "business decision." He wants to bolster his NFL potential.
New Wisconsin coach Gary Andersen is switching running back Jeff Lewis to safety, and he won't know whether the move is working until the Badgers are a few weeks into camp.
"Some kids are excited about it, some kids are -- I don't want to say defiant about it, but they have to understand, because they still deem themselves as, 'I can do this,'" Andersen said.
The goal of many college players is to make an NFL roster, and for the most part players enter the draft in the right position, two personnel directors told CBSSports.com.
But occasionally a team will find a curious case. Florida's Omarius Hines perplexed one director because he had played tight end, wide receiver and running back with the Gators. He also had four different coordinators in five years.
Hines was a valued utility player at Florida, and NFL teams value a player who sacrificed for his team. But when it came to Hines' NFL value, "it was hard to know exactly what he was," the director said. The 6-foot-2, 217-pound Hines, who finished his career with 801 receiving yards and 323 rushing yards, is an undrafted free agent who is participating in the Packers' training camp.
"You just wonder if he would have been better served concentrating on one position," he said.
Coaches don't want to sabotage a player's professional viability but must do what's best for the team.
That's why they'd rather not waste time if they make a switch, because it shouldn't take long to figure out whether it will work.
Indiana coach Kevin Wilson was Oklahoma's offensive coordinator when the Sooners switched Davin Joseph from defensive tackle to offensive guard and Chris Chester from tight end to guard. Both players have had long NFL careers, to the delight of Wilson.
But at Indiana, Wilson admittedly fumbled a switch with a walk-on named Damon Graham, who appeared in six games on special teams last season.
Graham was a tailback out of Indianapolis Arsenal Tech. Wilson moved him to defensive back in the spring. He needed more depth.
This fall, Graham will not be a cornerback.
"He was horrible," Wilson said. "He was bad. It was my idea. I said, 'It was my fault. I was trying to get you on the field.'"
Young players sometimes have a one-dimensional view of how their careers will unfold, especially quarterbacks.
Wisconsin's Jared Abbrederis is grateful he was willing to change.
Abbrederis was an option quarterback, and he loved it. He wanted the ball in his hands and control of the huddle. But one year as a scout-team quarterback wasn't easy. Eventually, when talking with Badgers coaches about playing receiver, he was flexible because he wanted to see the field and help the team.
Now he's an All-Big-Ten receiver coming off an 837-yard performance in 2012.
"It can be hard at first, but you have to trust coaches that have seen a lot over the years and have your best interests in mind," Abbrederis said. "There's dialogue there. It's an open conversation. Nobody's forcing you to do it."
Joyner didn't need to converse very long. Being 5-foot-8 made his decision easy. He needed "better leverage going to the next level."
"Playing football, a lot of people are blind to the truth," said Joyner, an All-ACC preseason defensive back. "Everybody knows that I'm both an undersized an undersized safety let alone I'm an undersized cornerback. But I'd rather be an undersized cornerback than a safety. It's something I had to deal with all my life."
Not every player knows what it wants like Joyner, so coaches must be stout personnel evaluators when slotting players into spots.
One of the NFL personnel directors interviewed for this story says -- surprise -- Alabama's Nick Saban is the best in the college game at personnel because he's "really, really good at putting guys in the best position to succeed."
You won't find any 5-foot-8 cornerbacks on a Saban roster, the director said. He goes for tall, rangy corners, preferably 6-foot and taller.
"A lot of those players are thankful he switches them there," the director said.
Andersen takes pride in his success rate as an evaluator. While at Utah, he moved now-Chiefs corner Sean Smith from running back to defensive back. At Utah State, he switched his leading rusher, Curtis Marsh, to defensive back. Marsh has played two seasons with the Eagles.
But Andersen has experienced the other side, too, and though he couldn't remember a specific example of mismanagement offhand, most coaches don't want to disclose them anyway.
"You can be wrong -- I've done that. Bad idea," Andersen said. "When that happens, put the ball in your court and you can be apologetic. You don't have all the answers but try to make an educated decision."
MacIntyre has an evaluation routine that he says helps him find the right places for players.
All of his linebackers and most of his corners will have been high school running backs because he likes the agility. He makes sure tight ends and defensive ends are "tight bodies," at least 6-foot-4. He learned that from Bill Parcells.
At his previous stop at San Jose State, MacIntyre played all his freshmen on both sides of the ball during camp to see where they fit. Most of the time, players figured it out.
"They'll come into my office and tell me, and it will be exactly what I'm thinking," MacIntyre said.

LONDON (Reuters) - British Prime Minister David Cameron's pledge to cut annual net migration to below 100,000 was undermined on Thursday after figures showed the net flow of migrants coming into Britain rose by 37 percent to 212,000 people in the year to September 2013.
With polls regularly showing immigration to be one of the top three concerns for Britons, Cameron is under pressure ahead of European elections in May and a national election next year to make good on his promise to cut net migration to the "tens of thousands" by 2015.
Trailing in the polls, eurosceptic lawmakers in his Conservative party want him to get tough on the issue, partly because they want to stop voters defecting to the anti-European Union UK Independence Party (UKIP), which opposes "open door immigration". It risks splitting the center-right vote in 2015.
The Office for National Statistics said on Thursday that the net flow of long-term migrants into Britain had increased by more than 37 percent in the year to September 2013 from 154,000 in 2012 to 212,000.
The number of EU nationals who came to Britain had increased by 40 percent, it said, saying the number of nationals from Romania and Bulgaria had risen sharply ahead of the removal of restrictions on their right to work in Britain in 2014.
Immigration minister James Brokenshire told BBC TV the government was doing its best. "Our focus absolutely remains on bringing net migration down to those sustainable levels and we are taking action on EU migration by dealing with abuses of free movement," he said.

Antarctic plants fight extreme conditions. They have to struggle against the icy grip of Antarctica. Water is scarce. There is ice and snow as far as the eye can see, but no water. The ice and snow doesn't become physically available to the plants until it has melted. The air is dry, and evaporation, the loss of water from the plants to the air, is a daily danger.
There is hardly any suitable soil for the plant to put down its roots- Antarctica being a continent of rock and ice. The occasional crack in the rock may be filled with humus and guano. Humus is formed by the decay of dead plants and guano is the dropping of seabirds. This is rich in nutrients, but is thin on the ground. This is the home for the plants of Antarctica.

Termination of Employment - 6/27/08
Intro: An employee at a Cracker Barrel, Mr. Humphries, believed that one of his co-workers had been fired because of her race. So he complained to his boss. What was Humphries reward for trying to do the right thing? He was fired. Is this type of retaliation legal? Here to tell us about a recent Supreme Court case that answered this question is attorney Michael L. Solomon.
Jeff: Mike, what's the law say about retaliatory firings?
Mike: The U.S. Supreme Court, in a decision last month, ruled that federal civil rights laws prevent an employee who complains about race discrimination from being fired. If you are fired, demoted, or otherwise treated unfairly because you reported race discrimination in your company, you have the right to sue.
Jeff: The Supreme Court case involved race discrimination. Does the prohibition against retaliation apply to other types of discrimination too?
Mike: Yes. You cannot be retaliated against if you report sex, age, or any unlawful discrimination. Ohio also has a whistleblower law that protects employees who are fired, demoted, or otherwise treated unfairly because they reported some illegal activity by their employer. These legal protections are designed to encourage employees to point out violations of the law on the job.
Jeff: Since we have legal protections against retaliation, should employees have any concern about complaining about their employers?
Mike: Unfortunately employees still need to be very careful. Even if you are correct about your complaint, if you are terminated, you are going to have to bring legal action which can be aggravating and time consuming. Most cases brought by employees are on a contingency basis, which means you don't owe legal fees unless you win. But you still have a risk of not being able to prove your case. And you've been fired! Also Ohio law has a very short time period to take action. Many times as short as 180 days. So if you do feel you've been fired in retaliation for bringing up certain issues you need to move quickly.
For more information, contact the Ohio Civil Rights Commission. In Cleveland, the number is 216-787-3150, and the website is: www/state/oh.us/crc.

Micro Projects
Designed to reach into the interiors of the country and are initiated by the Johnson & Johnson Location Committees. These projects call for a high degree of employee involvement and participation and help to spread
Our Credo values organization-wide.
Micro Projects span the following four pillars:
- Saving & Improving Lives of Underprivileged Women and Children
- Building Healthcare Capacity
- Preventing Diseases, Reducing Stigma and Disability
- Community Responsibility
The keen interest and involvement of Johnsonians in a spectrum of Micro Projects has contributed towards a large number of underprivileged children gaining access to quality education and health care.
Vocational Training Unit for the Deafblind
As deaf and deafblind students grow to adulthood, they need to be equipped with skills that will make them employable, as well as more independent.
The Vocational Training Unit (VTU) project was started in 1997 by the Helen Keller Institute for the Deaf and Deafblind to provide appropriate vocational and rehabilitation services to students reaching adolescence. The Unit focuses on developing skills that encourage independence in work-related areas, as well as in thought, movement and self-care.
The VTU project also addresses the larger needs of the community, with respect to creating awareness of deafblindness and encouraging the development of healthy and positive attitudes towards the disability.
Each trainee is placed in an appropriate job, based on his/ her skills and level of functioning on completion of the training.
Beneficiaries: 35 Deaf & Deafblind trained by J&J.
TOUCH Project - Child Sponsorship & Textbook Bank
Keeping poor students in school is a challenge and even more so in rural areas. Moreover, there is a need for a well-rounded education so that these students can excel.
The TOUCH Project strives to help rural and poor children to overcome the hurdles that keep them from gaining an education. The project is currently, supporting the education of 1000 children from various districts in Maharashtra, Karnataka, Rajasthan and West Bengal. A number of developmental initiatives are also organized for the sponsored children, during which they are exposed to personality development activities in a comfortable environment.
The TOUCH Project selects beneficiaries by visiting children's homes and schools and assessing the children's financial condition.
Apart from sponsorship of deserving students, a model Book Bank that stocks textbooks for all professional and degree courses has been started at Vihigaon. This Book Bank reduces the financial burden on poor students by enabling them to borrow books for a financial year, rather than buying them.
Beneficiaries: Child Sponsorship & Book Bank benefits 1,000+ students.
Paramedical Training for Underprivileged Girls
The status of underprivileged girls can only be improved through better employment opportunities. For this to happen, the girls' competencies have to be enhanced their through vocational and personality training.
The B. C. Girls Hostel, in Solapur, is a Charitable Trust working towards the education, shelter and rehabilitation of girls from the economically backward classes.
The project supports two one-year vocational training projects to enable these girls to start earning and become economically independent as early as possible:
- The Arogyasahayak (Patient Assistant) course trains the girls as paramedical staff for hospitals and old age homes. The course covers all aspects of nursing, through theory and practical in the classroom as well as in hospitals. Over 100 girls have already been placed in reputable hospitals and clinics through this program.
- The dress-making course has enabled participants to get jobs in garment factories, while others have started their own tailoring businesses, with minimum investment. So far, over 50 girls have been benefited by this program.
Beneficiaries: 130 girls from the economically backward class.
Adhar - Association of Parents of Children with Special Needs
Caring for a mentally challenged adult is a lifelong responsibility and is very demanding on the parents. As they age, parents of mentally challenged adults find it more difficult to cope and require assistance.
Adhar, a residential center supported by Johnson & Johnson, provides complete physical, psychological and partial financial relief to the aged parents of 200 mentally challenged adults, by providing the latter with life-long residential care. Residents are provided with round-the-clock care and protection, wholesome food, medical care, vocational training and recreational and sports activities, with the help of specially qualified staff: vocational instructors, medical and psychiatric experts, trained social workers and clinical psychologists.
Beneficiaries: 200 mentally challenged adults and their families.
Khushi Pediatric Therapy Centre
While the awareness of Autism has been growing in India in the recent past, there are still many issues that autistic children and their parents face. These include scarcity of trained educators, as well as too few institutions and programs tailored for autistic individuals.
The Khushi Pediatric Therapy Centre in Mumbai, which is supported by Johnson & Johnson, helps children and teenagers diagnosed with Autism – a neural development disorder that is characterized by impaired social interaction and communication, as well as restricted and repetitive behavior.
This Centre has been working with autistic individuals for the last 12 years and is staffed by a team that has been trained and certified in recent therapy practices. There are plans for setting up a pre-vocational training center, using modern information technology aids such as desktops, laptops and Ipads to enhance and accelerate learning in autistic individuals. They can use these aids to help communicate (non-verbal children) as well as to pursue a career and thus gain more independence.
Funds are also deployed towards psychometric and therapeutic tests to assess the autistic individuals' functional ability – thus helping the Khushi team in formulating short-term goals for them.
Beneficiaries:150 children
Impact India Foundation
A concerted effort is necessary to improve the health standards of the rural and tribal population of the country. Holistic practices are necessary to reduce infant and maternal mortality, as well as to prevent and cure disabilities.
Impact India Foundation's Community Health Initiative (CHI) covers a population of two million people, mainly tribals, in the rural Thane District of Maharashtra.
In partnership with the Government of Maharashtra, CHI uses existing infrastructure and available delivery systems to reduce disability by prevention and cure. It is aligned with the National Rural Health Mission to provide integrated primary health care, in consonance with the United Nations Millennium Development Goals 2015 – reducing infant mortality and improving maternal health.
CHI's 'Saving Lives Through Baby Wraps' project aims to motivate rural women to deliver their babies under skilled medical care at Government facilities – thereby reducing the high infant and maternal mortality rates that arise from unsupervised home births.
Johnson & Johnson has donated Baby Wraps which contribute substantially towards saving lives. These wraps signify the importance of taking care of newborn children by swaddling babies immediately after birth. This minimizes the chances of babies dying of hypothermia due to the temperature difference between the mother's warm womb and the cold external environment.
Beneficiaries: 2000 newborn babies
Light of Life Trust
The rural underprivileged require a gateway that can lift them and their families out of their present circumstances. In most cases, education can be that gateway.
The Light of Life Trust (LOLT) is a public charitable trust that was established in 2002, with the vision of transforming the lives of rural, underprivileged people, through various supportive and sustainable programs that are focused mainly on women and children. After a 2005 study brought to light the issue of out-ofschool children requiring immediate attention, LOLT launched Project Anando, which focused on the overall development of 25 children in Karjat Taluk of Raigad District, Maharashtra.
Since then, Project Anando has been implemented in five districts in Maharashtra and has reached out to over 7,000 beneficiaries in 35 centers covering 325 villages and it continues to grow rapidly.
Many of these children are now in engineering programs, optometry courses and working in BPOs. They have amazing confidence levels and are messengers of change in their respective areas.
Johnson & Johnson has disbursed a grant towards setting up and operating a Library & Reading Room at the Anando Project Office near Karjat Station. It was inaugurated on March 23, 2013, by Mrs. Villy Doctor, Founder, LOLT. It is now fully functional and stocks over 1800 books in English, Hindi and Marathi.
Beneficiaries: Over 700 rural children and their parents, school teachers, social workers and peer groups

CCleaner, a.k.a. CrapCleaner for Windows is a tiny application which does just that, cleans crap from your system. That means "fixing issues in the registry" , removing stray temp files and useless installers, clean cache and so on. Upon first run it cleaned 500 mb off my system, a system I thought fairly optimized.
If you're a Windows user, this'll speed up your system. Just make sure you don't accidentally delete all your cookies in the process, unless you actually want them gone.

It first evaluates efforts at a 10,000 foot view so that a tiered listing of projects can be built. This organization of projects should segregate the investments with the potential of delivering the most business value from those projects considered mediocre investments and projects that, if pursued, will remove value from the business because they have a negative return-on-investment (ROI) potential.
Because of this, a pragmatic method of scoring and weighting the identified strategic initiatives is needed.
Develop a business case. For those project ideas that pass the "smell test," a comprehensive business case that expands and deepens the analysis of the project's characteristics should be pursued.
The business case analysis (BCA) is the primary tool used by the executive steering committee to support or deny decisions of investment.
The BCA must provide insight into whether your company should build or buy a system, as well as a review of preferred solution's technical architecture. It must provide decision makers the necessary information regarding project scheduling and resource forecasts.
Additionally, the BCA must drill deep into the financial aspects of the project, determining initial and ongoing costs, as well as refined and expanded ROI measures.
There are four rules of thumb that I follow that are essential to producing a successful business case:
Prioritize. By establishing business leaders as the IT steering committee and ultimately as the IT portfolio managers you are well on your way to ensuring business-IT alignment.
Use the IT steering committee to gain the perspective of senior business executives on enterprise priorities. The derived list of prioritized IT projects results in the increased alignment of IT investments and enables more efficient allocation of IT resources to the most strategic and valuable business initiatives.
Apply resources. Managing the IT staff as a single pool of delivery resources is the proven approach to providing efficient and rapid sourcing to business projects. Once you map the available IT resources (those not consumed by the non-discretionary activities required to keep the business running) to the highest prioritized business projects it becomes apparent that the discretionary IT resources are a limited commodity.
Utilize the IT steering committee to address this issue of limited IT resources by having them, along with the CIO (if you have one), establish a sourcing strategy that enables resource pool flexibility and minimizes constraints of critical roles and skills.
A recent Forrester survey of 269 IT decision makers stated that 83% of companies are in the process of adopting PPM as the way to meet today's challenge of business/IT alignment.
Having a practical approach to establishing this discipline in your organization is essential to gaining the support of business executives, the long term adoption of portfolio management and accomplishing the successful alignment of business and IT.

A year in review for Xbox One and PlayStation 4
Who won 2016?
Both Xbox One and PlayStation gamers could say that 2016 was pretty good to them, new hardware released, there great exclusives on each console, and much more throughout the year!
With the year coming to a close, it seemed like a good time to compare and contrast the two gaming giants and grade them based on how they performed this year! Keep in mind, this is based mostly on review aggregators and the overall consensus from a number of outlets (and user forums) we've gathered from across the web and not our own personal opinions. We want to give fair grades for the respective consoles with little to no bias towards either one. Some categories will require us to inject opinions and thoughts on certain subjects, but it'll remain neutral for the most part.
We'll be ranking the consoles based on the number of exclusives they had as well as how they performed critically, the pieces of hardware released and how well they were received, and much more! We will give grades based on each individual category, the one with the best overall grade at the end wins!
The Exclusives
The first category is centered around all the exclusive games released this year. While we will be taking into account the number of console exclusives released, the winner will be decided by the overall quality of the games released, quality over quantity. We are only counting games with a retail release in the United States, so you won't find Persona 5 here until next year! PSVR games are also exempted from this category as it would give PS4 an unfair advantage in this category. You'll find the exclusives for each platform as well as the Metacritic rating down below.
PlayStation 4
Street Fighter V - 77
MLB The Show 16 - 85
Ratchet & Clank - 85
Uncharted 4: A Thief's End - 93
No Man's Sky - 71
World of Final Fantasy - 77
Dragon Quest Builders - 83
The Last Guardian - 83
Average score: 81.75/B-
Xbox One
Quantum Break - 77
Recore - 63
Forza Horizon 3 - 91
Gears of War 4 - 84
Dead Rising 4 - 73
Average score: 77.6/C+
WINNER: PlayStation 4
The Hardware
For this category, we're going to talk about the new hardware releases for both brands. This will exclude controllers, minor accessories, and chat headsets. The only thing that will be taken into account is substantial additions to the brands such as consoles and VR headsets.
Xbox announced two new pieces of hardware at E3 this year, but only released one. The hardware in question is an updated, slimmed down Xbox One called the Xbox One S. The console offers a number of new benefits including 4K gaming and entertainment, HDR display, slightly increased performance, and more. The console is a great addition to the Xbox brand as it offers a much needed, smaller version of the bulky Xbox One and it removes the external power brick. It's much more convenient and nicer looking than the launch version of the console and doesn't make any extraordinary attempts to be way more powerful than the original Xbox One.
PlayStation had three substantial releases on the hardware front in 2016, one of which broke new ground for console gaming. First, let's talk about the PlayStation 4 Pro. From the get-go, the messaging of this console has been bizarre. Leaks started coming out at the start of 2016 suggesting a more powerful PS4 would be coming but some developers seemed to be puzzled by the hardware and didn't really want to dedicate time to it.
Many suspected it would be unveiled at E3 and it kind of was..? A few days prior to E3, PlayStation's Andrew House spoke in an interview acknowledging the existence of the console and said they wouldn't be debuting it at E3 and would reveal it at a later date. This confused many gamers as E3 is the one time a year where all eyes are focused on video games for a week! If the console isn't important enough to show at E3, is it really important at all?
Sony then dedicated an event to the PS4 Pro in September that somehow managed to confuse people even more and turn people off to the whole idea of the console. While there were some on board, many didn't understand the technical mumbo jumbo being thrown at us and it was hard to tell the difference between the standard PS4 and the Pro from a live stream on Twitch which has varying qualities (not to mention a lot of people probably weren't watching on 4K TVs or monitors).
When the console released in November, several games including Skyrim, The Last of Us: Remastered and even Final Fantasy XV in some places ran worse on Pro than the standard PS4. It wasn't a good look for the console and made gamers scratch their head at why Sony even decided to release this console. Several developers have even stated that there are issues with their games on Pro and they don't know how to fix it at all! Many say that the console does boast some better visuals on games like Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare but it's hard to say if it's a big enough leap to justify a new console.
Sony also released a slimmed down PS4 which incorporates HDR display on some games (this was also patched into the standard PS4) along with some other minor features. It's cheap, small, sleek, and is a great buy for those who have yet to pick up a PS4.
The biggest release for Sony had to be the PlayStation VR, the first ever VR headset on consoles. It's affordable compared to the other headsets, it's comfortable, has a great line-up of games, and is easy to use! The headset has much to offer with great apps like Hulu allowing users to place themselves in virtual living rooms or movie theaters to watch their favorite TV shows. Hulu and several other apps also allow full 360 degree VR videos that put users "inside" the video they're watching. Whether it's a concert, deep sea diving, or a helicopter tour, it's a nice, free feature that I imagine will be taken advantage of for things like E3 press conferences next year.
As mentioned, the library of PSVR games is vast and expands quite frequently. You can put yourself in the shoes of Batman and explore Gotham City as if you're really there, fight in captivating space battles in a Star Wars X-Wing, and much more! As of right now, the games are fairly short but longer, full-fledged games like Resident Evil 7 are coming in the very near future!
Although PlayStation made some strange decisions in the hardware department this year, they still manage to take the cake thanks to VR. While the Xbox One S is great, it doesn't come close to how innovative and fantastic the PlayStation VR is. This may change next year however as Microsoft has said Project Scorpio will have VR support, but they haven't gone into detail of what that means quite yet.
Winner: PlayStation 4

|Property type
|Minimum Stay
|4 nights
This lakeview villa is situated in Poinciana, Kissimmee, Central Florida. The villa has cathedral ceilings and so feels very light and airy. It is air conditioned and comes very well equipped. The rear of the villa overlooks a well stocked bass lake, where you can fish or simply watch the spectacular sunsets. This aspect makes the deck and pool area quiet during the day, whilst you sunbathe and swim. Unlike many villa we do not have any other pools to the left or the right of us so with the lake at the back you are never overlooked. The villa is situated in a quiet residential estate, close to Orlando Int Airport and within about an hour and a half drive from Sanford Int Airport. It is within easy reach of all major attractions such as Disney and Universal Studios, the area also has several Golf courses, Wild life preserves and access at Southport to lake Tohopekaliga for airboat rides or fishing. Free international, long distance & local telephone calls, and WIFI access.
I live in Cheshire and worked for the same company for 27 years before giving up the rat race.
My family and I have been holidaying in Florida for the last 11 years, my first visit was in 1979 when my Grandparents took me to visit my Aunt and we drove from Washington DC to Disney and I became hooked. As my Aunt moved around the States with her family I visited several other States but kept coming back to Florida, and in 2000 decided to buy a place for the whole family to enjoy.
The Owner purchased this villa in 2000
We choose this location as it is near enough to all the attractions to go everyday but far enough away from the hustle and bustle to not be part of the rat race.
The estate is a residential estate and so there are always neighbours coming and going, which increases the security in our neighbourhood.
The lake view was one of the main drivers for this location, the sunsets are spectacular! It also means that the rear of the villa will never be overlooked.
The peace and quiet is something you need to experience to believe, during the day you can be out by the pool and the only interruptions to your relaxation will be the various birds who visit the lake, or the odd fisherman trying to hook a few bass!
There are plenty of places to get your groceries or take outs, and only a short drive away there are more restaurants than you could eat at during your holiday. Even now we still find new places to try.
Free calls and WIFI access is so convenient no more searching for phone cards or waiting for dial up to keep you in touch with family or friends!
To help you get the most out of your holiday once you book I send you a comprehensive pack all about the villa, the location and the restaurants we have tried and enjoyed.
DBPR Florida State License Number : DWE5910130
This was our 9th visit to Florida and our 8th using Poinciana as a base. The location and villa was perfect, offering us all the comforts and facilities that our group of 5 adults required for a eventful and still relaxing holiday. If you want to enjoy all that central Florida has to offer but escape the hustle and bustle of the area directly around the attractions then Poinciana and Peppermill Villa is the place to be. Poinciana is a fairly small community with excellent supermarkets, restaurants and take away establishments. It is a quite neighbourhood, removed from the busier areas but still within easy access to the theme parks, cinemas, attractions and shopping malls and outlets.
Peppermill Villa exceeded our expectations (easily the best villa we have used) and provided us with all the comforts and facilities for a relaxing holiday. The villa is equiped to the highest of standards We felt at home almost immediately and had more than enough space for our party to enjoy each others company and to enjoy quieter moments during our stay. The pool was a most welcome aspect, a small lake providing a great background, as we relaxed and enjoyed the sunshine. The pool was cleaned every Tuesday during our three week stay. It was hard to believe that the area and villa had been hit by Hurricane Irma only a few days before we arrived.
During our three weeks we enjoyed a number of visits to Universal Studios (our grown up daughters adding a concert and Halloween Horror nights to their visits), the cinema at the Loop, 3 TampaBay Rays baseball games, Kennedy Space Center, Blue Man Group at Universal and many great restaurants and shopping outlets. The weather wasexcellent for September-October, with temperatures reaching 95.
Sarah our host has maintained the villa's high standards. Sarah kept in regular touch prior to our visit and her written notes were very helpful in settling in to the villa, town and wider area.
Her management company who we contacted once were very professional, dealing with our enquiry politely and efficiently.
We had the best visit to date, so much so that we have booked Peppermill Villa for a visit in Seprember 2018.
We stayed here for 3 weeks with our two boys (aged 18 and 20)
Prior to our stay the communication and information from Sarah was fantastic.
The villa exceeded our expectations, very spacious and comfortable in a quiet residential area outside of Kissimmee.
For me the best thing about the villa was the pool,aside from the swimming it is very peaceful to just sit and chill with my book, the view over the lake is stunning especially as the sun sets. Quite enjoyed watching the lightening in the distance as well!
Locally there are supermarkets and restaurants, mostly fast food although I would recommend Dennys for breakfast, Wayback make excellent burgers and Slice of New York is a hidden gem. We did discover a diner a short drive away which we liked called Woodsbys, worth the short drive.
We never did the parks so no comments about the drive etc.
I would recommend Kennedy Space Centre, a fantastic day out.
We loved our time there and would recommend the villa to all our friends and family. If we're ever in Florida again we would definitely be staying here.
Thank you Sarah!
Stayed here a week and it was a lovely family visit, this is in a quiet area of Kissimmee and I am so pleased we stayed here. It felt safe and the villa has a great location with all the amenities and good access to the theme parks.
The villa is as described and well suited for either a week or a fortnight stay.
You should not have any worries about staying here, it was easy to find and had everything you would need for a relaxing stay. It felt like a home for our stay, you have the privacy of your own pool area and also all the Bass fish to catch in the lake ! Saw some lovely sunsets as we sat out at night.
The supermarkets are near and the large shopping Malls are less than an hour away.
When I did contacted the owner, before our trip, all my questions were answered quickly.
I really have no problem at all in recommending this villa and would definitely come back to both the villa and area.
Stayed at the villa for eight nights during our holiday to Florida. Communication with the owner was excellent from the time of booking till our arrival. the villa was lovely with all the things needed for our stay. the villa was very clean for our arrival and there was plenty of towels and bed linen provided. we even had a family of 12 ducklings resident at the villa which were so cute. The villa is in a residential area but close to shops and all amenities. Although it was a short drive to the parks we were so pleased to come back after a busy day and chill out in the lovely pool. Would definitely recommend to our friends and family
The pool was especially enjoyed by the grandchildren.
We had the best time staying at this home. Everything was exactly as stated and we enjoyed every minute of it!
We had a lovely Christmas break here with the family. The villa is in a quiet residential area, and has a great view from the pool over the lake. We found the property to be really well supplied with kitchen equipment, towels etc, so we could all relax after a busy day in the theme parks. Walmart is a short drive away, so it was easy to stock up with supplies, and there are also several restaurants nearby. I would recommend having the pool heated during the winter months, we used it every day. Also would recommend a visit to the Disney Wilderness Preserve, which is just along the road from Walmart, a lovely peaceful oasis. Many thanks to Sarah for making the booking process so easy.
Further Details:
There is also a driveway and a two car garage. The villa is less than 5 minutes from local shops, including 3 supermarkets several take aways and restaurants, hair salons and beauty parlors, video rentals and liquor stores. 20 minutes takes you to highway 192 where you can sample almost everything your heart desires. Poinciana Town centre is less than 5 minutes away on quiet roads. As
well as the above you can also find 2 Banks, a Post Office, library, medical centre and Gas station. The nearest Golf club is Stonegate at Solivita which is approx 2 minutes away and less than 5 minutes to the Nature Conservancy's. Disney Wilderness Preserve, where you can hike and learn about local wildlife. At weekends you can also visit Reedy Creek Nature preserve on Poinciana Blvd. About 10 minutes away is a riding stables and at Southport you can go on airboat rides or fish on Lake Tohopekaliga. If you like to fish the lake behind the house is full of bass and instructions for the first time fisherman are in the villa. Disney is less than 30 minutes away as are the Outlet Malls at Buena Vista.
Disney wildlife preserve is only a few minutes away as are airboat rides at Southport and the local school runs a boardwalk experience at weekends where you can see the native forna and flora along with snakes spiders lizards turtles and alligators, and its free!

I've done it, although I've got to ask you something. The mission "Outrider" takes place in San Fierro, and you're only in Los Santos, so I suppose you mean another. In the save you posted, the only mission available were "Cesar Vialpando" & "Life's a Beach" so I thought that it'd be "High Stakes, Low-rider" but that one only was available after "Cesar Vialpando" so I've completed both. I'm not sure if that's what you requested but I hope it is. Next time please try to give out the correct names of the missions. If something's wrong, please tell me.

Black Canary #1
I saw a lot of Black Canarys this year, but not all were picture-worthy. It's a simple enough costume, but that means you've got to nail it. That doesn't mean you can just wear fishnets and a black bodice and call it a day.
Roxanna Meta nailed it!

Really y'all, this IS my life!
I'm sitting here working and singing along with the music playing in the background; I've got the 70s station streaming and Rhinestone Cowboy was playing. The Boy walks in and repeats the lyrics "Rhinestone Cowboy" that he just heard.
I asked "Do you know this song," knowing it was waaay before his time. His reply "no."
So, I continued to sing and The Boy said "carrots and lettuce?" Why is he singing about carrots and lettuce?
WHAT??? I replied. "He's not singing about carrots and lettuce, the lyrics are "cards and letters!"
Ha ha ha. REALLY!!! You can't make this stuff up! Bawhahah..still laughing. This IS my life…I am so very blessed with goofy kids who bring laughter to my life every day.

Red Sox hold friendly team skills competition
Winners avoided 2-hour bus trip to play the Yankees in Tampa
FORT MYERS, Fla. -- You could tell it was going to be a different kind of Sunday morning at Red Sox camp just by looking at the daily workout sheet.
T-Target hitting, infield accuracy skills, pitching/bunting accuracy, PFP/Gauntlet and obstacle course were the activities listed prior to the 1:05 p.m. ET game against the Twins.
The Red Sox had their own version of the Olympics on Sunday, as they split into two teams -- red and blue -- with some obvious motivation hanging out there for the victor.
The winner got to avoid Tuesday's two-hour bus ride to Tampa, while members of the losing team will make that trip to face the Yankees.
"We shocked the world," said Brock Holt, a member of the underdog blue squad that beat a team captained by Dustin Pedroia.
"They said we were a 16 seed!" said a gleeful Josh Rutledge.
"Big upset," said Holt.
In another corner of the clubhouse, things were more subdued.
"This game is under protest," quipped Pedroia, who will be joined in Tampa by Jackie Bradley Jr., Andrew Benintendi, Hanley Ramirez and starting pitcher Chris Sale.
Others will join Holt and Rutledge in getting some downtime on Tuesday, including blue team captain Chris Young, right fielder Mookie Betts, third baseman Pablo Sandoval, and first baseman Mitch Moreland.
There was actually a draft that took place a couple of days ago to determine how the teams would be separated.
"You always get a pulse and the feel for when things may start to stagnate a little bit because of the length of Spring Training, particularly this year because of the number of additional days," said Red Sox manager John Farrell. "It's always important to keep it light in some spots, but yet a competitive element to it. This is a team-building opportunity for us as well."
The skill competitions took place on separate fields, and the teams came into the final event -- the obstacle course relay -- in a tie.
Team Pedroia bolted in front, but then the underdogs came back in a big way to win the race decidedly.
"The MVP of the obstacle course was Robby Scott and [Chandler] Shepherd," said Holt. "We were down by a lot, I was worried. Me and Rut did cut the deficit a little bit. But they did really good and brought us all the way back."

Current ratio = Current Liability/ Current Asset
Debt ratio = Total Liability / Total Asset ratio comparison Exhibit 7 Mercury Athletic Footwear: Projection of Selected Balanced Sheet Accounts Comparison of average revenue growth rate between historical and projected data Exhibit 6 Mercury Athletic Footwear: Base Case Projected Segment Performance Differences between AGI and Mercury Whether Mercury is an appropriate target? Background of Mercury Athletic Footwear AGI and Mercury are dealing in the similar industry/products (strategic fit)
Both of the companies' manufactures is located in China, it will help AGI overcome the competitive disadvantages
Mercury will double the AGI's revenue
Mercury will increase AGI's athletic line presence Common grounds between AGI and Mercury Assumptions - Overhead-to-revenue ratio would conform to
historical averages.
- No independent balance sheet for Mercury
- Women's casual line will wound down in the first
year of aqcuisition Qualitative Method - Useful to determine the competitive advantages
- However it will not yield number figure
In the case of Mercury:
AGI will obtain more product diversification, technology advancement, larger distribution channel IRR Method - NPV = 0
- The rate at which cash inflow =
outflow - Mercury's aqcuisition price = cash outflow
- Mercury's FCF = cash inflow NPV=0 ,
0=-186216 +21238/(1+r)+26729/(1+r)2+22098/(1+r)3+25473/(1+r)4+468771/(1+r)5
thus r=28.05%
compare to the NPV discount rate8.96%, IRR is greater Possible synergies 1) there would be a rise in production and sales as the increased size of this joint corporation.
2) to be more efficient, the joint corporation will probably not require the double employees
3) as of the increased size of this new joint corporation, both companies reverie a relatively higher discount from the row suppliers conclusion AGI should acquire Mercury

"I felt safer at home than at hospital"
About: Barnet General Hospital / Maternity Barnet General Hospital Maternity EN5 3DJ
Posted by malty (as ),
Gave birth to my third son at 7. 01pm, my husband was not given the option to hold his new son and told he had to leave by 7. 30pm. I needed stitches but as it was a shift change over this could not be done straight away.. instead I was told to stay where I was on my own on the bed id just given birth in all the mess until a new midwife came back and done my stitches at 9pm! ! !
Was not allowed a shower and transferred straight to victoria ward where I was told to go to sleep and shower in the morning. Next morning when the midwife/nurse done her rounds when she realised I was bottle feeding she replied oh you don't matter and turned her back on me. My notes were never transferred from labour ward so I was not discharged until late afternoon when they eventually found my notes. At home it was becoming more painful to urinate and felt like something was hanging out.. very scary. My husband passed a mirror and I found a wad of gauze stuck inside me from the stitches the night before. Absolutely disgusting that it had been left there and how dangerous it could have been if I had not found it. I told the community midwife when she visited and she said she would speak to the sister on ward but that was all I ever heard.
I'm currently due my 4th baby in feb 2015 & am refusing a hospital birth as my last was so horrendous. I feel safer at home than being put at risk by slack procedures in hospital.
