Our site has been upgraded to generate 'digital badges', a core mechanic that will facilitate our overall strategy of evolving to become a "virtual university" for e-learning the required skills to adopt Cloud computing.
Naturally our courses will be built around Cloud best practices, and via a modular curriculum
Digital Badges 101
For a quick primer on Digital Badges here are a few good articles:
First – We'll be using Credly, which issues 'open badges', developed by Mozilla and explained helpfully in this Q&A overview.
Education is of course one of the primary activities it can be used for, and how they can be integrated into learning is described through materials such as this issue of THE, this article from one educator who has adopted them, and how Georgia University have started using them for their executive training, by creating Robinson Digital Badges.
As described in this article:
"Purdue University is an early adopter of the digital badge concept for online higher education and has developed mobile applications to make their system run smoother and more efficiently.
A pair of mobile apps, Passport and Passport Profile, make it easy for students and instructors to create, award, and display badges, which enables Purdue to recognize skills earned in the untraditional learning environment. The Passport app helps teachers organize the criteria and objectives to create badges with tangible value for the earned achievement. Students use the Passport Profile app or any Mozilla Open Badge profile to display their badges on social media sites and personal pages."
There are also in-depth white papers, such as this one co-authored by Mozilla and Credly, on Digital Badges in Adult Learning (42-page PDF), and another from Civic Youth.
Digital Engagement – Foundations for Social CRM
Of course learning isn't something constrained only to the classroom, it's a process we are all going through all the time, as we engage with new people, jobs, web sites and much more.
This is important because digital badges can be used for more than just teaching situations.
Most important is how it can facilitate better 'digital engagement', a means of tapping the whole social networking trend, attracting and engaging potential customers more effectively online.
A great example is the Smithsonian Institute – Their digital badges program, Smithsonian Quests, offers an incentive to children to become active learners, earning badges for submitting work such as this example student.
Educational institutions have to engage their markets online too, and this begins to show how it can enable organizations to master the key aspects of social media that make it attractive to key demographics like Millennials.
For example in Coastal Carolina University they have used badges for a creative writing course, and not only do they have to complete the work but also submit it alongside a 'selfie', a picture they take of themselves that is included in an online community too.
Digital badges for business innovation
This same effect can be harnessed by businesses too.
As described in this article smart marketeers are tapping into 'gamification', creating fun ways to engage customers into their brand.
For example Nike ran a gamified campaign, rewarding those who take part in various sporting activities with badges, and Dell issue them to their online 'social selling' reps to engage with potential customers online, following the required training to do so.
Starbucks has integrated them into their MyRewards program, establishing them as a foundational component part of online loyalty engagement methods.
Pearson is a notable education publishing and assessment service company that has joined the digital badging movement with their Open Badge credentialing platform, Acclaim. This platform takes digital badges a step beyond online display of achievement by providing a way to share and validate learning outcomes through high-credibility organizations.

We've worked with dozens of early adopters across numerous industries and will debunk common misperceptions, which starts with understanding that many of the connected products we'll use over the next 5 years are already products, they're just not yet connected. With an IoT product, time-in-market provides much more essential feedback than ever before. Innovation comes from what you do with the data that the connected product provides in order to enhance the customer experience and optimize busi...

Up until last year, enterprises that were looking into cloud services usually undertook a long-term pilot with one of the large cloud providers, running test and dev workloads in the cloud. With cloud's transition to mainstream adoption in 2015, and with enterprises migrating more and more workloads into the cloud and in between public and private environments, the single-provider approach must be revisited.

In the world of DevOps there are 'known good practices' – aka 'patterns' – and 'known bad practices' – aka 'anti-patterns.' Many of these patterns and anti-patterns have been developed from real world experience, especially by the early adopters of DevOps theory; but many are more feasible in theory than in practice, especially for more recent entrants to the DevOps scene. In this power panel at @DevOpsSummit at 18th Cloud Expo, moderated by DevOps Conference Chair Andi Mann, panelists will dis...

ESPN: Szymborski: White Sox need a Dunn-Rios miracle (INSIDER)
So, we know Adam Dunn and Alex Rios are playing terribly. But it's actually a little worse than that. When we make preseason projections for players, we don't know how important individual wins will be to the team at the end of the year. We might have an idea that a player is three wins above replacement level, but we don't know for a certainty how crucial those wins will be. If the White Sox were running away with the division or mired in last place, the missing wins from Dunn and Rios may ...Read More...

Is there more to life than money?
25 Feb 2014 07:43 GMT
A senior police officer in the Indian state of Chhattisgarh has shot dead his wife before turning the gun on himself, reports say.
Devnarayan Patel, 40, the Jagdalpur City Superintendent of Police, killed his wife Pratima, 35, and also shot his two children Aryan and Puja, at his official residence before killing himself.
While his wife died on the spot, the children have been taken to a hospital.
Patel had been suspended a day earlier following a verbal spat with a local judge. News reports quoted sources as saying Patel was disturbed over his suspension, which probably prompted him to take the extreme step.

I would like to know which diagram from those two should be created first when designing large IT system. In every article I read about UML, the component diagram is mentioned as almost last. I think that, when designing a larger system is better to divide it to smaller parts/modules on the component diagram and then for every component create a detailed class diagram. Is that correct?
How it look in practice from your experiences? Do you know of any article/tutorial that shows from beginning to end, the design of system using UML?

Granite Telecommunications, LLC, a provider of communications solutions to businesses, hosted its 11th annual Granite Day on Saturday, June 7, a free, community event, in support of the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. Thousands of community members gathered at Granite's headquarters in Quincy to enjoy carnival-like festivities which included food from local restaurants, rides, games, music, arts and crafts, and other entertainment. Granite's leadership and employees have worked diligently to raise over $2.6 million this year and $4 million overall to assist Dana-Farber in its quest to provide care for cancer patients and ongoing research for a cure to the disease.
Granite has a special connection with Dana-Farber, as the CEO Rob Hale's father and co-founder Judy Hale's husband, Bob Hale was treated at the institute. This past March, Granite and the Hales raised $2.1 million dollars when more than 400 employees volunteered to undergo the buzzers to help defeat cancer through Granite's "Saving by Shaving" event.
All food, games and rides at Granite Day were provided free of charge. Granite did this by coordinating donations of food and supplies from local businesses, including Stop & Shop, H.P. Hood, La Paloma, Maggiano's, The Ninety-Nine, Cathay Pacific, Lessings, Fratelli's, Applebee's, Bertucci's, Boston Market, Super Chef , and Puritan Pizza. Over 140 Granite employees also donated over 2,500 hours of volunteer time to help organize, coordinate and perform activities on this day.
"We are so proud of our employees and partners who volunteered their time, effort, money and to support the fight against cancer and we are honored to work with a life-changing organization like Dana-Farber," said Rob Hale. "We're so thrilled to have Dana-Farber be a part of Granite Day to help us celebrate this community."
Granite has been named repeatedly as one of the most philanthropic companies. In addition to the donations to Dana-Farber over the past several years Granite has given $27,230,000 to more than 200 different community organizations. On August 19, 2014 Granite will be honored for commitment to defeating cancer by Dana Farber and the Boston Red Sox at Fenway Park, when Rob Hale and his mother Judy Hale will be presented the Boston Red Sox Jimmy Fund Award in a pregame award ceremony.
"Granite and Quincy are synonymous as our city was once known for its superior quality granite," said Mayor Tom Koch. "Granite's leadership over the years and the dedication and commitment of the entire staff and employees to our city is phenomenal. We are proud to have them as a partner in the city."

As the rapid adoption of containers continues, companies are finding that they lack the operational tools to understand the behavior of applications deployed in these containers, and how to identify issues in their application infrastructure. For example, how are multiple containers within an application impacting each other's performance? If an application's service is degraded, which container is to blame? In the case of an application outage, what was the root cause of the outage?

I became interested in Genealogy when I moved to AZ in 2000 and discovered Find a Grave 10 years ago.
I started researching my husbands family and then moved on to mine. I have met a lot of friends and family over the years, and the family continues to grow and so do the trees I am working on. I appreciate everyone's help.

RE: William Wirth
Oh my..I happened to come across Sir John Alvin while researching my Alvin line. Pearl Wirth's mother was an Alvin (Grace Silma Alvin, & her parents are buried in Lebanon, Ore). I still miss Jocko, he was my best grandpa.
Merry Christmas..Marie Salanoa

Shuman brothers
Hi! I claimed your photo request for John and Mahlon Shuman at Greenwood cemetery in McCool Ne. The only Shuman stone found was for Mary(?) Shuman. But there was a Spanish American war veteran marker/stake by her headstone. Were either of these men vets? I also checked the other Greenwood in York Ne. and they are not listed there.

RE: John C. & Emma J. Wirth
Don't you just love it when all the branches come together and form a beautiful tree. I am so glad that I was paying attention and inquired. As a genealogist myself, I have felt the many blessings from doing my own family research. Especially, when it comes to finding that lost soul or that little bit of information that links all the pieces together. Have a wonder New Year and God bless - Diana

John C. & Emma J. Wirth
Greetings from the Tri-Cities, WA. While I was obtaining burial info for John and Emma Wirth, I ran across another "Wirth" whose burial site is 2 spaces over from John & Emma's burial site. His name is John Clarence Wirth; 5/16/1929 - 6/6/2011. He was a CMSGT in the US Air Force in Korea & Vietnam. Is he any relation to John & Emma Wirth? I took a picture of his brass grave plate just in case there is a relation between them. - Diana

The whole while, Jon was building the album revising, recording, editing, mixing, mastering.

PITTSFIELD, Mass., Dec. 17, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Berkshire Hills Bancorp, Inc. (NYSE: BHLB) today announced that President and CEO Michael P. Daly has been elected Chairman of the Board of Directors effective on January 1, 2013. The Board has also elected current Chairman Lawrence A. Bossidy to the new position of Lead Independent Director effective on the same day. Identical elections of Messrs. Daly and Bossidy were made by the Board of Berkshire Bank, the banking subsidiary of Berkshire Hills Bancorp.
(Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20121217/NE30911 )
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20120131/NE44966LOGO )
CEO Daly stated, "I'm honored to assume the leadership of the Berkshire Board and I look forward to continuing the strong focus on business execution which has been a hallmark of Larry Bossidy's long and distinguished leadership of our Company. I'm delighted that he will continue to have an active role in his new capacity as Lead Independent Director. Our team has built a locally focused, customer-centric institution and invested in a strong infrastructure positioned across the middle of our four state region. The Board and the Company remain committed to responsibly serving the financial needs of our markets and to providing strong returns to our investors."
Mr. Bossidy added, "The election of Mike Daly as Chairman recognizes his success as CEO in building our strong franchise, and the confidence of our directors in his judgment, business acumen, and leadership. I look forward to working with him in my new role as Lead Independent Director, in conjunction with our Board and management team, to achieve continuing success in serving all of our constituencies."
Mr. Daly was appointed President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company and the Bank in October 2002. During his tenure as chief executive, Mr. Daly has navigated Berkshire through significant growth, market share expansion, and profitability gains. Total assets have risen to $5.5 billion, with 75 branches operating in Massachusetts, New York, Connecticut and Vermont. Among Mr. Daly's achievements are the creation of Berkshire Bank's distinctive "America's Most Exciting Bank®" brand platform and the development of a high performance team oriented culture. Berkshire is now one of the country's hundred largest exchange traded banks. In recognition of its standing and achievements, Berkshire recently moved its stock listing to the New York Stock Exchange.
Mr. Daly is a Pittsfield native who began his banking career in commercial lending with Bank of Boston. He joined the Company in 1986, rising to Executive Vice President and Senior Loan Officer prior to his appointment as CEO. Mr. Daly holds a Master of Business Administration degree from the Columbia University School of Business and a Bachelor of Science degree from Westfield State College. He currently serves as chairman of the board of the Berkshire Business Roundtable and the Berkshire County Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, as well as serving with several other boards and volunteer associations.
Mr. Bossidy joined the Board as Chairman in 2002 and serves on the Compensation and Corporate Governance/Nominating Committees. His notable career has included the positions of Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Honeywell International, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of AlliedSignal, Chief Operating Officer of General Electric Credit, President of General Electric's Services and Materials Sector and Vice Chairman of General Electric. Mr. Bossidy has also served as a member of the Board of Directors of Merck & Co., J.P. Morgan, and K&F Industries Holdings. In his new position as Berkshire's Lead Independent Director, he is expected to have involvement in agenda-setting, communication with other independent directors, planning, and performance evaluation activities. The duties and responsibilities of this position will be discussed in the Company's 2013 Proxy Statement.
Berkshire also announced the retirement of Catherine B. Miller as a Director of the Company and the Bank, effective immediately. Ms. Miller has served as a Berkshire Bank director for nearly 30 years and as a director of the Company since 2000. Mr. Daly commented, "We appreciate Catherine's long service and knowledge of our local markets. We wish her well following her retirement from our Board and look forward to her continued participation on the Board of the Berkshire Bank Foundation."

Leprechaun gets goosed on a garage roof: Kenny Be's Yard Arteology
Yard Arteology: The study of neighbors through their lawn decorations...
Highland: Look what's up with this rooftop yard art.
By pairing unrelated decorations and placing them on the roof of a garage, the enjoyment -- and certainly the message -- of a yard artist's work will always remain "out of reach" to most viewers. However, the rooftop pairing in the picture above is a rewarding find for the yard arteologist...
Honk if your garage roof decorations are magically delicious.
On closer inspection, the little green man pictured above reveals that he is actually a small plastic Santa wearing his traditional green Santa suit. (The color of Santa's suit was changed to red by the Coca-Cola Company in 1931.) The little body holds a small lantern as if to aid in the lighting of darkened rooms for the ease of gift giving. A leprechaun hat has been placed on his head as a means to extend his useful life through the spring and into summer.
Traditionally, the leprechaun is a miserly, human-hating trickster with a foot fetish. However, these characteristics are slightly nuanced when the figure is placed near a concrete goose. Placing the goose above the leprechaun and facing the pair away from the home suggests that the yard artist is attempting to reduce these troublesome traits in himself or in members of the household.
Below, the ensemble as seen from the pedestrian's point of view...
Highland greetings from on high.

Apparently, the handy street sign posted to the phone pole in the picture above was placed by Denver's Department of Public Works so pedestrians would know the exact height of the yard art display on this garage rooftop.

Dr. Best examines how policies and laws respond to social problems and, in particular, how advocacy and culture create legal/policy inequalities in the ways we address social issues such as disease, homelessness, and employment discrimination. Her current research explores why lobbying for research into new medical treatments has overshadowed movements seeking research on environmental causes of disease and advocacy for expanded access to medical care.

In short, order a slightly larger size; I think they run a little small, but they are gorgeous! :)
