Coaching - Classes - Workshops - Mentoring & Books
Golf viewed in its truest form, is a game that teaches virtues such as: HONESTY, INTEGRITY, PAIENCE, HUMILITY, BALANCE and CHANGE. All golfers may get these lessons but many do not embrace them as treasures to build, more often then not they are a constant source of frustration.
Today we are very fortunate we have more freedom, and we can begin to play golf as a spiritual experience, which will heal and shape our lives. We can begin to move through golf, business and life using the Laws of Nature or termed another way 'Universal Laws' which are more life affirming and are in-fused with love, in comparison to man-made laws that cause separation.
Enjoy the Balance of Heart Mind and Nature
As we come back to our true selves we begin to heal and change the planet. The Goddess tradition embraces play and pleasure, all acts of love and pleasure were seen as a ritual to her, a way to honour and praise her. The more we honour and celebrate this life; the more grace descends down on us.
I once read that both the Koran, the sacred book of Islam and the Talmud the sacred book of the Jewish; teach- "that we will be called to account for every permissible pleasure life offered us, but which we refused to enjoy while on earth?"
When the Goddess Within Awakens
It's time my sisters, to begin to play everyday, in every way. As a by product of becoming Golfing Goddesses you can pave the way for a new balanced world.
Think about what we are passing on now, whether you have children or not, whether you are a child starting golf right now or a grandmother, most peoples lives are lived in habits, many habits of fear and distrust have been fed to us.
We pass up permissible pleasure all the time, we have been conditioned to be a dead society. The life of our inner core is just waiting for us to turn towards it. What will you find? The wonder and magic that weaves itself through all of life, now flowing through yours. Welcome to the adventure!
"What does it mean to be golfing goddesses compared to just being a woman golfer? Becoming golfing goddess is playing in closer relationship to who we are as females and to reconnect back to our own natural rhythms. Golf is a perfect playing field to discover and uncover who we really are as a female species and how much we have been hurting since we have been disconnected with our own natural flow.
Each of us has a unique path that is right for us; one of the quickest ways to find it is by being in a relationship to Mother Earth and the feminine Energy.
Golfers have a unique opportunity to fast track this relationship since we can be outside playing for hours. Play being the operative word here. The Goddesses are calling to us all, and women have been hearing the call the most, our Mother earth needs our attention and Love and that is a very simple act we can all perform. Since we are multidimensional we will find certain Goddesses resonate with us at different times, the more attention we pay to certain goddesses the more that energy type comes back to us.
When we see evidence of help from the higher realms, a spontaneous appreciation occurs. This then becomes a wonderful cyclical flow of asking, receiving and being grateful. The more frequently we are outside, the more we can receive messages, information and intuition from nature. The purpose of this book is to bring women a step closer towards sacredness and play on the golf courses and then it will spill over into every area of our lives effortlessly.
I Live a most Magical Life since becoming a Golf Goddess and I truly desire the same for you!

This collection brings together a set of specially commissioned chapters from leading international researchers in the psychology of reasoning. Its purpose is to explore the historical, philosophical and theoretical implications of the development of this field. Taking the unusual approach of engaging not only with empirical data but also with the ideas and concepts underpinning the psychology of reasoning, this volume has important implications both for psychologists and other students of cognition, including philosophers. Sub-fields covered include mental logic, mental models, rational analysis, social judgement theory, game theory and evolutionary theory. There are also specific chapters dedicated to the history of syllogistic reasoning, the psychology of reasoning as it operates in scientific theory and practice, Brunswickian approaches to reasoning and task environments, and the implications of Popper's philosophy for models of behaviour testing. This cross-disciplinary dialogue and the range of material covered makes this an invaluable reference for students and researchers into the psychology and philosophy of reasoning.

Staying onsite is really nice, as long as all you want to do is Disney. If you want to do anything off property, then you truly do need a car. There are public buses, but to use them efficiently, you need to have a schedule and a route map. Taxis are always available,but you have to be truly on your toes. They'll rip you off at the drop of a hat.
To rent a car you have to be 25 years old. There used to be an exception to that but it was hideously expensive. I don't think they do it anymore.
So! Hope that helps a bit!

Converts a custom JavaScript syntax format into the PegJS file format
Converts a custom JavaScript syntax format into the PegJS file format. Offers the benefit of allowing more flexible building of grammars (and ready syntax highlighting by JavaScript-aware apps).
npm install js2peg
Require the module...
var $J = require'js2peg';
Invoke the constructor to setup initial configuration:
// Optional options object (below are shown the defaults) $J sortRules: true // Whether to sort rules alphabetically but with "start" rule on top indent: 2 // Number of spaces to indent parsing expressions semicolons: false // Whether to insert semi-colons after rule parsing expressions parserOptions: cache: false // If true, makes the parser cache results, avoiding exponential parsing time in pathological cases but making the parser slower trackLineAndColumn: false // If true, makes the parser track line and column (available as line and column variables in the actions and predicates ;
The properties of the above options object are also available as properties with the same name on the
$J object.
In addition, the property
output will exist on the object to indicate the string thus far built in the PegJS format (the empty string by default), and the property
parser will store the last built PegJS parser object (set to
null by default).
Arguments: (
initializer = undefined)
This is a convenience method which:
this.buildParser() with the supplied
rules and
parse() (on the resulting PegJS parser object) with the supplied
str string
Arguments: (
initializer = undefined)
This is a convenience method allowing you to use the same style of API as PegJS which:
this.convert() with the supplied
rules and
PegJS.buildParser() with the resulting output (the
this.output property)
parser property to the return value and also returns this parser object
One can then manually call the PegJS parser methods such as parse() or toSource() on the returned parser object. See
this.parse to avoid the need for a separate
parse() call.
Arguments: (
initializer = undefined)
initializer is optional and if provided, can be a string wrapped in curly braces (
{...}) or a function whose body will be copied (via
Function.prototype.toString()) and then wrapped in curly braces to work as a PegJS grammar file (one can define arguments to the function, especially if one is in ECMAScript strict mode, to prevent issues with undefined variables, even though the function will not depend on these variables, depending solely on its string contents).
rules object contains rule names (or rule names optionally followed by a colon and a string to serve as a PegJS rule name label) as keys.
The values on the
rules object may be either a string to be:
& and
[...] (regex matches),
{...} (actions),
"..." (literals)
...or an object or function to be serialized and then:
Function.prototype.toString()) and used as an action within the grammar output
source and optional
ignoreCase property (as with a RegExp object or literal) to be added directly to the grammar output
literal and optional
i or
ignoreCase property (as with a RegExp object or literal) to be stringified and added to the grammar output
expr property to be added directly to the grammar output (it is preferred to use the class methods where possible to create such objects).
Note that while functions and regex objects/literals are possible for convenience, all of their functionality can be represented by represented by (or easily auto-converted into) JSON-friendly code (e.g., if a web-based IDE wished to allow users to store their own transforming parsers (whether for syntax highlighting or convenient custom conversion of user input into a more verbose but widely recognized format) and validate them in an easy manner).
The following methods are of use internally or in defining modules.
Arguments: (
Indicates whether the supplied value
val matches as a valid ECMAScript identifier. (Probably of most use internally.)
Arguments: (
Returns the supplied string
str surrounded by double-quotes and with all internal double-quotes escaped (useful for building literals without the likes of
Arguments: (
str = ' ')
Repeats the supplied string
str a
ct number of times.
str defaults to a single space.
Arguments: (
Converts a function
f to a string (using
Function.prototype.toString()), extracts the inner contents, and surrounds the result with curly braces. (Probably of most use internally.)
Arguments: (
Duck type checks an object
obj for an
exec method to determine whether the object is a regular expression object. (Probably of most use internally.)
Arguments: (
inherited = true)
Mixes the object
sourceObj onto the object
targetObj, optionally (and by default) copying inherited properties as well as "own" properties of the
sourceObj. If a property of
targetObj already exists and the
sourceObj is an array, the former will be overwritten by the latter (of use when a module redefines a rule), but otherwise the object will be recursively copied (creating an empty array or object when needed and not already present on the
targetObj). Regular expression literals will be converted into JSON-stringifyable RegExp objects.
Arguments: (
Takes an indefinite number of arguments, joins them together with a PegJS OR condition (" / "), adds the result onto an object via an
expr property, and returns the object. The
expr property is used to identify strings which should be copied directly into the grammar result without escaping.
Arguments: (
A convenience method to stringify all supplied arguments and then pass them to
Arguments: (
Builds an object with an
expr property set to the supplied
item string being repeated (in PegJS format) in a space-separated list to the minimum
min number of times and then encapsulated and repeated in an option group "( ... ?)" to the maximum
max number of times.
js2peg.or() regarding the
expr property.
Arguments: (
A convenience method to call
js2peg.range() with its
min and
max arguments both set to

CRB checks rob charities of £350 million
The CRB check has come under fire yet again after some diligent work by our friends at the Manifesto Club revealed that charities had spent around £350 million on criminal record
checks on their workers and prospective volunteers.
As the Daily Telegraph reports:
People who devoted their spare time to helping out in their communities say they found the vetting process "thoroughly insulting" while the bureaucracy it entails creates a "burden and a bore".
Even people who sell tickets to a botanic garden or offer to write a local newsletter have been told that they must have their backgrounds checked in case they pose a risk to children.
The new report, Volunteering Made Difficult, discloses that 3.87m volunteers have been vetted over the past eight years – a fifth of the total. A further 2m are likely to have to sign up when the Government's new vetting and barring scheme, now on hold pending a review, comes into force.
Although volunteers themselves do not pay to be vetted, their organisations must pay a £20 administration fee while the rest of the cost is borne by CRB checks paid for by companies and public sector bodies.
Yesterday's report once again confirms that the CRB scheme is neither efficient nor cost effective. The fact that these charities are spending such large amounts of their budget on lengthy checks and not on their worthwhile causes will seem outrageous to many people.
The real trouble here is that even very minor jobs entail such measures, which results in a lack of motivation to help worthy organisations. Similarly, those working for these charities who require annual CRB checks are increasingly losing patience with the administration and suspicion that they are being subjected to.
Of course CRB checks are vital in certain situations, but the Coalition Government needs to smarten the system – making it proportionate and reasonable – instead of persisting with the pointless Vetting and Barring scheme which alienates and insults those trying to give their time and effort to good causes.

As a project manager for a small children's charity I can tell you – they prove virtually nothing; they give a false sense of security; they are a deterrent to good quality people from applying; they throw up too many false positives and they are costly and time consuming.

My biggest gripe is that the CRB process has replaced the use of judgement. Instead of thinking "is this person suitable", a quasi objective approval takes its place.
Sometimes the lack of rules can make things safer: in traffic situations, if it's not clear who has the right of way then the road users will engage with one another. Here the reverse effect is in play.

CINCINNATI -- A new display at the Cincinnati Zoo is quite literally for the birds.
The zoo opened its Kea Free Flight Aviary on Friday.
Kea are large parrots native to the mountain forests of New Zealand.
The new aviary will have special kea encounters on Thursday, Saturday and Sunday, but is open daily.

Zookeepers said they care for one of the largest flocks of kea in the world and the largest in North American.
The new exhibit is located in the former Lorikeet Landing space.
"With the recent addition of six chicks this breeding season, our flock currently consists of 16 individuals, which is very exciting," said Robert Webster, Curator of Birds at the Cincinnati Zoo, in a release. "Housing such a large flock means we have a responsibility to both provide public advocacy for the conservation of the species and provide plenty of enrichment for the birds. We all work hard every day to fulfill these duties and this new exhibit helps us facilitate this while providing a unique environment for our guests to share a meaningful experience with the animals."
The new exhibit includes a 10-foot by 7-foot viewing window made of ORNILUX Bird Protection Glass. The glass appears clear to humans but has a UV reflective coating that is visible to birds that helps mitigate crashes.
The interactive feature includes a puzzle that requires both zoo patrons and the kea parrots to solve, as well as a play maze.

text: Historic Year Celebrated At Annual Banquet Photo By: Oregon State Athletics 04-18-2014 Related Links 2014 Women's Basketball Banquet CORVALLIS, Ore. – The Oregon State women's basketball team celebrated its historic 2013-14 season with a banquet on Friday night in the Reser Club on OSU's campus, allowing fans to recognize the Beavers for their accomplishments and winners of various team awards as well as interact with student-athletes and staff. The dinner served not only to celebrate the program, but also to honor the team's senior, Alyssa Martin, who served as the foundation for an accelerated turnaround of Oregon State basketball over the past four seasons. Head Coach Scott Rueck, along with assistants Eric Ely and Mandy Close handed out postseason awards, as voted on by members of the team and their coaches. For the second consecutive season, Deven Hunter was recognized as the Beavers' best rebounder. The sophomore averaged 7.4 boards per game this season. Her 258 total are 10th in OSU single-season history and the fourth-best for any sophomore. Fellow sophomore Ruth Hamblin, a member of the Pac-12 All-Defensive Team and a league honorable mention selection, was honored as OSU's Most Improved Player. Hamblin set a school and Pac-12 single-season record with 141 blocks, tied for the 19th highest total in NCAA history. She also converted 57.1 percent of her shots from the floor, good for ninth on OSU's single-season list and posted Oregon State's first triple-double in 30 years against rival Oregon on Jan. 13. The 6-foot-6 sophomore totaled 23 points, 12 rebounds and a school-record 10 blocks in the Beavers' 84-70 win, their seventh straight in the series. Dynamic point guard Sydney Wiese was chosen as Oregon State's Offensive Player of the Year. Wiese, the first OSU freshman since Tanja Kostic in 1993 to receive a spot on the All-Pac-12 Team, obliterated the school record for 3-point makes, draining 112 this season, a number which is also the most for a Pac-12 freshman and second overall in single-season conference history. It's tied for 20th in NCAA single-season history and tied for fourth among NCAA freshmen all-time. Her 42.4 3-point field goal percentage was 16th in the NCAA and also led the nation's freshmen. Wiese became the Beavers' 19th 500-point scorer, just the second to do so as a freshman, and first since Casey Bunn in 2006-07. Ali Gibson was tabbed as the Beavers' Defensive Player of the Year. The junior guard led the team in steals for the second straight year, becoming the first Oregon State player to do that in a decade. Academic achievements were recognized as OSU place a school-record five on Pac-12 All-Academic Teams. Ruth Hamblin, Samantha Siegner, Deven Hunter, Alyssa Martin and Jamie Weisner were each celebrated for their work in the classroom. Hamblin was also named to the 2013-14 Capital One Academic All-District Women's Basketball Team in late January. On-the-court performances received their just due as well. In a polling of the league's coaches, Sydney Wiese was named to both the All-Pac-12 squad and the Pac-12 All-Freshman Team. Ruth Hamblin and Jamie Weisner were selected All-Pac-12 Honorable Mention with the center also receiving a nod on the Pac-12 All-Defensive Team. And Gabriella Hanson earned her honor as Pac-12 All-Freshman Honorable Mention. It was the first time since the formation of the Pac-10/12 in 1986-87 that Oregon State has had four players recognized for postseason honors voted on by the conference's coaches. Wiese then represented the team in honoring Rueck, who added to his cache of coaching awards with three more following OSU's magical run. The fourth-year head coach was named Russell Athletic/WBCA Region 8 Coach of the Year and Pac-12 Coach of the Year by both the league's media and ESPN. Martin was honored as the recipient of the Carol Menken-Schaudt Teammate of the Year Award, given to "the person who exemplifies what a Beaver student-athlete should be….[and one] who is looked up to because of her work ethic, attitude, support and care for other teammates and is an outstanding representative of the program." The award is named after OSU legend and 1984 Olympic gold medalist Carol Menken-Schaudt (1979-81). Before a speech from Scott Rueck in which he thanked the program's administrators, staff, student-athletes, their families and everyone associated with Oregon State women's basketball, the 2013-14 Beavers were celebrated as a group for their record-setting efforts. The 2013-14 campaign was one of the greatest in Oregon State history. OSU finished 24-11 overall, tying the school record for wins previously set in 1982-83. The team's 13-5 conference record was a new program best and the Beavers tied for second in the final Pac-12 standings, matching their highest finish as a conference member (1996). Oregon State advanced to the program's first Pac-12 Tournament Championship courtesy of a late-season 11-game win streak, the second-longest in school history. Each win during the dominant run was by at least 10 points and three came 20 or more. The Beavers' average margin of victory was 16.1 points. That unblemished five-week stretch catapulted OSU into its first NCAA Tournament since 1996. On March 23, the Beavers defeated then-No. 22 Middle Tennessee, 55-36, notching just the school's third-ever win in the Big Dance and first since 1995. The Beavers finished fourth in the nation in field goal percentage defense (.346), fourth in blocks per game (6.3), 13th in 3-point field goal percentage (.369) and 19th in 3-point field goals per game (8.2). The team's 221 blocks set a Pac-12 record. The evening, which was emceed by women's basketball radio broadcaster Ron Callan, began with opening remarks from legendary Oregon State women's basketball coach Aki Hill. Ashley Shearer, the program's Director of Operations, recognized the contributions of the team's student managers and the support of its booster club, The Rebounders. Martin addressed the 300 family, friends and fans in attendance before a video played with season highlights, behind-the-scenes footage of the 2013-14 Beavers and special messages for the senior from her teammates. OSU, which posted the second-biggest turnaround in school history this season, returns strong nucleus in 2014-15 which accounted for 95 percent of its scoring and 96 percent of its rebounds. Seat deposits for new 2014-15 Oregon State women's basketball season tickets are currently being accepted.

The 'Spectrality Effect' in Early Modernism
David Glover
In 'The Finding of the Absolute', the last of May Sinclair's grimly witty Uncanny Stories (1924), a metaphysically-inclined cuckold named Mr Spalding suddenly dies and finds himself in heaven. There the true nature of the world is explained to him by two men, each in their different ways a representative figure of modernity: Paul Jeffreson, the dissolute Imagist poet who had run away with his wife Elizabeth, and the philosopher Immanuel Kant. On meeting Jeffreson again, Spalding at first thinks that he must be in hell. But, in spite of his drinking, drug-taking and philandering, Jeffreson has been saved by his love of beauty since it was this sole redeeming quality that made him, in his own words, such 'a thundering good poet'. 1 Though he has been a thoroughly bad man, his dedication to his art has given him a purity of mind that places him among 'the very finest spirits' ('FA', 231). Beauty is integral to the Absolute, against which Spalding's earthly morality appears merely petty and provincial.
Nevertheless, Spalding has qualified for heaven because of his pursuit of truth, his passionate devotion to the task of constructing a system of metaphysics, a devotion that ultimately cost him his wife. From the standpoint of hisphilosophical account of the Absolute, the very existence of Elizabeth's adultery is a flaw in the nature of things and thus a blow to his moral sense. So, when Spalding discovers that he is now in a position to consult Kant directly about his spiritual crisis, he is delighted. Transported to Kant's study in Königsberg, Spalding – a convinced Kantian – is surprised to learn that the philosopher is in no doubt about the considerable advances in human understanding achieved by his successor Hegel. For Kant the moral law sub specie aeternitatis'is not an end in itself', but rather a vehicle for the realisation of the mind's true creativity, the exercise of the imagination's

More or less as before but for 1985-1994, 1975-1984, 1965-1974 and so. I am trying to figure out if the apparent lack of recent gateway SF really is a lack or just a relative lack, one decade competing against seven or so.
More later, by which I mean tomorrow.
( 7 comments — Leave a comment )
Now that time constraints are lifted, I recommend _Days of Starlight_ by Craig Harrison (19880. It's often described as a "near-future thriller", but it's actually science fiction written in completely mainstream-accessible fashion. I don't totally approve of the way it uses the Reagan administration like Spielberg uses the Nazis, but aside from that it's excellent. More would be a spoiler.
Or perhaps later. My get and go got up and went.
What was the reason for the date limits? I still think "in print" is more important; lots of stuff written in the last decade is already out of print.
To track production. I don't know if that Scalzi's reason, but its what James is trying to figure out here.
Also, if there was _no_ new material that one could offer to newbies to drawn them in, that might mean that SF had become an isolated genre, selling only to the already faithful, like superhero comics, westerns or whatever the third example was that I had in mind when I started typing this.
Scalzi's reason was to introduce people by means of stuff which is obviously current, as opposed to the Lost Futures of say, early cyberpunk (much less the generic Lost Future of "Where is my individual jetpack and commuter shuttle to Luna?" grumbles of old SF readers like myself).
Every era has its lost futures. In fact, one of the books that I can see easily from my chair, provided I lean way over to one side and brace myself on a table while holding my head at an odd angle, is Alexei Panshin's FAREWELL TO YESTERDAY'S TOMORROWS, and it was published roughly mid-way between now and when John W. Campbell became editor of Astounding.

What do you think of when you hear the word retirement? For me, many things come to mind, all of which make me happy. I picture myself living in a climate that's warm all year round and playing unlimited amounts of golf. The only work I have to worry about is making more putts and straightening out my hook.
Ahhh, what a life it will be. I'll have all the time in the world to hang out at the beach, attend sporting events and relax. OK, enough staring out the window and daydreaming about something that's so far ahead in my future that I can hardly imagine it.
Even though retirement is a long way down the line for me, one thing's for certain: I won't want another job. Or will I? According to an article published by The New York Times, 7.2 million Americans aged 65 and older are working, a number that has doubled in 15 years. In some instances, it's a case of a person loving their job, while others work because they don't feel financially secure with their retirement funds. No matter the reasoning, the main point is that when people retire, they aren't necessarily done working.
The thought of working after retiring is laughable to me. After working for 25, 30 or 35 years, why would I want to continue working when I've already worked for a large portion of my life? As tough as it is for me to believe, people get bored in retirement. While I had heard of this crazy notion, I didn't actually believe it was possible until it happened to my dad. He retired in his early 50s, only to begin working again a few weeks later. It seems like he works more now that he's "retired" than he did before.
I don't see a similar scenario playing out for me. However, if for some reason I do become sick of golfing and hanging out at the beach, what would I do with all my free time? I suppose I'd go in the direction of finding a part-time job. What types of part-time jobs are available for retirees? Glad you asked! Take a look.
Sporting Events
This one is right up my alley. If I had to spend time away from the golf course and beach, I'd prefer to be at a sports venue. Many sports teams hire seasonal workers to do jobs such as usher spectators to their seats or help out at the concession stands. Spending a day at the ballpark doesn't sound like too bad of a job, right?
If you were a retired teacher, the transition to becoming a tutor would be nearly seamless. You could help individuals who are struggling in whatever subject you specialize in (math, English, science) and get them on the right track. You could start your own program or get in touch with local schools to get your foot in the door.
If you're looking to make some quick cash during the holiday season, head to your local retail store. Most are in need of part-time workers during the holiday rush. The best part about this job? It'll only last a short period of time before you can head back to the golf course.
Online Juror
Most of us do what we can to get out of jury duty. However, if you're interested in shows like "Law and Order," maybe this is for you. All that's needed is a computer with Internet access. Online companies like eJury.com and OnlineVerdict.com pay people to give verdicts on mock trials that lawyers and other jury consultants are working on.
If you love to write or take pictures, you could do so AND earn some cash! With many newspapers making personnel cuts due to a changing readership, companies are always looking for ways to save money. It's cheaper for them to pay a freelancer than it is to hire someone on salary. For more information, contact a local newspaper or magazine company and see what positions are available.
If you have the patience to deal with people and spend the majority of your time on the phone, there are plenty of telemarketing jobs available for retired people.
Golf Course Ranger
If I had to choose one dream retirement job, it would probably be this. You get to spend all your time at the golf course, driving around golf carts and making sure groups are keeping up their pace of play. Some courses have one ranger watch over the first tee to ensure every golfer has paid. Other courses have rangers drive around the course to make sure everything is running smoothly. Another great perk (along with being at the course all day) is free golf!
Pet Sitting
Do you love animals? If so, pet sitting could be for you. Responsibilities are as simple as making sure the pet is fed and let out (if necessary). Maybe throw in a couple walks around the block (depending on the animal), and you're good to go. You could work through a pet sitting company or on your own.
Community Service
Community centers and churches usually have part-time jobs available for retired people. The tasks could be as simple as data entry or keeping records on file. A few hours organizing information, and you're day is complete.
Phased Retirement
If you want to keep your current job, but at a reduced role, you could look into a phased retirement. This allows you to stay with your current employer but decrease the amount of hours you work, allowing you a more flexible schedule. This route lets you to make the transition from working to retirement over a period of time.
Maybe taking up a part-time job after retiring isn't such a bad idea after all. No matter your opinion, it's good to know there are part-time options available for retirees.

What are they?
The gamification frameworks are the set of pre-established procedures that serve to gamify a process. In other words, a framework provides us a previously tested pattern that will allow us to gamify a process with greater guarantees of success.
Why use them?
Using a framework has several advantages:
- Having a guide that helps us to order in a logical way our efforts in organizing gamification, this translates into the minimization of errors, which consequently saves the time and money.
- Increase our chances of success. The creators of frameworks have made use of their experience and knowledge included in the procedures they have seen to provide greater chances of success. By using a framework, we benefit from a work previously done, and our learning process will be much shorter.
Are the frameworks the magic solution?
Obviously the answer is no, for the following reasons:
- The gamification is not an exact science. We could classify it within the social sciences, and we all know that this type of science is subject to multiple variables that do not allow defining a result from a certain premises with total certainty.
- Obviously it also depends on the framework that we use. Not only due to the fact that there are better and worse, but also because of the fact that some will be more appropriate or not, depending on the type of process that we are gamifying.
- The frameworks offer general recommendations which we will have to adapt to the specificities of our concrete situation.
This does not mean that we should not use them; on the contrary, they can be of great help. It means that they are one more tool to take into account in our process of gamification.
What are the frameworks based on?
They are based mainly on two elements.
- Research. The gamification experts come from different areas of the human knowledge: psychology, sociology, economics… Their work in research and theoretical experimentation has resulted in various findings and conclusions that are part of the frameworks.
- Experience. The gamification consultants with practical experience in application of the processes of gamification, have been able to evaluate "on-site" practices that work best and which don't. This allows them to complement the theoretical element of the gamification with its practical application, and to formulate more effective frameworks.
Once we have resolved these previous questions, here are some of the best known frameworks:
Framework Octaltsis
Formulated by Yukai Chou (you can see all the information in this post).
It is based on the following diagram:
The same author gives us a detailed composition:
"The 8 Core Drives of Gamification"
1) Epic Meaning & Calling
This is the Core Drive where a player believes that he is doing something greater than himself or he was "chosen" to play. An symptom of this is a player that devotes a lot of his time to maintaining a forum or helping to create things for the entire community (think Wikipedia or Open Source projects). This also comes into play when someone has "Beginner's Luck" – an effect where people believe they have some type of gift that others don't or believe they were "lucky" to get that amazing sword at the very beginning of the game.
2) Development & Accomplishment
This is the internal drive of making progress, developing skills, and eventually overcoming challenges. The word "challenge" here is very important as a badge or trophy without a challenge is not meaningful at all. People often ask me what Core Drive Google has used to become so successful – I would say that Google makes you feel smart and accomplished within seconds. (On the other hand, Yahoo does not, but appeals to the Curiosity and Unpredictability core drive).
3) Empowerment of Creativity & Feedback
This is when users are addicted to a creative process where they have to repeatedly figure things out and try different combinations. People not only need ways to express their creativity, but they need to be able to see the results of their creativity, receive feedback, and respond in turn. This is why playing with Legos and painting are fun in-and-of themselves and often become Evergreen Mechanics (a good state for Gamification).
4) Ownership & Possession
This is the drive to "want" something. When a player feels ownership, she innately wants to make what she owns better and own even more. If you feel ownership over your job, you will work harder. If you want ownership over the digital sheep, you will harass your friends. This is the driving force behind all virtual goods and "collection" games.
5) Social Influence & Relatedness
This drive incorporates all the social elements that drive people – including: mentorship, acceptance, social responses, companionship, as well as competition and envy. When you see a friend that is amazing at some skill or owns something extraordinary, you become driven to reach the same level. Also, it includes the drive we have to draw closer to people, places, or events that we can relate to.
6) Scarcity & Impatience
This is the drive of wanting something because you can't have it. Many games have Appointment Dynamics within them (come back 2 hours later to get your stuff) – the fact that people can't get something NOW motivates them to think about it all day long. In the early days of Twitter, the service kept going down due to bad infrastructure (that's how the Fail Whale became so famous). However, BECAUSE people couldn't use Twitter when they wanted to, they wanted to use it even more. When it came back up they rushed to tweet before it went back down That was also the secret of Cartmanland.
7) Curiosity & Unpredictability
Generally, this is a harmless drive of wanting to find out what actually happens. Many people watch movies or read novels solely because of this drive. This drive is the primary factor behind Gambling addiction. Researchers have shown that people irrationally want to see what's next if there is a chance of a positive outcome – even when they know it will most likely be a negative.
8) Loss & Avoidance
This drive is based upon the avoidance of something negative happening. On a small scale, it could be to avoid losing previous work. On a larger scale, it could be to avoid admitting that everything you did up to this point was useless because you are now quitting"
Gamification model canvas of Sergio Jiménez
We especially like this model, because although perhaps less complete than the previous one, it has an eminently practical character. In fact is not itself a framework, but a practical tool based on other theoretical frameworks. The author himself explains:
"Gamification Model Canvas is an agile, flexible and systematic tool created by Sergio Jiménez, to help find and evaluate solutions based on game design and to ultimately develop behaviors in non-game environments. Gamification Model Canvas is based on formal models of game design and experience in gamification projects.
This free tool is based on two main works, adopted globally:
- "MDA Framework: A Formal Approach to Game Design and Game Research" by Robin Hunicke, Marc LeBlanc and Robert Zubek.
- "Business Model Canvas" by Alex Osterwalder."
You can download the model at this link (pdf format), and find out more on the website of the author.
A Simple Gamification Framework
We end this series of the examples of gamification frameworks, with the insights by a consultant, Andrzej Marczewski (see this link for details).
We see his proposal represented graphically:
The author explains the details:
"The first part is a series of 8 questions to ask yourself as you embark on your gamification adventures. I have it printed on my wall in the office.
I know WHAT I am going to Gamify
You must be totally sure what the activity(s) is that you are going to gamify.
I know WHY I am gamifying it
Just as important as what is why. What do you hope to gain from this project?
I know WHO will be involved
Who are your players? You need to know that to be really able to engage with them.
I know HOW I am gamifying it
Once you know What, Why and Who, it is time to work out what you are going to do to gamify it all. What elements and ideas will work best for you system? Are you going to employ rewards or are you going to work purely with intrinsic motivators it will be different every time.
I have ANALYTICS set up
You have to have metrics and analyitcs of some form – otherwise, how do you measure success, check it is working, find choke points and also report back to people!?
I have TESTED with users
You must test anything like this with the target audience. They are the ones who will be involved, not you and the designers.
I have ACTED on feedback
Colleting feedback from testing is only beneficial if you actually act upon it. If the players hate your favourite idea, you have to get rid of it!
I have RELEASED the solution
Finishing and releasing are different. Silently pushing your new system out there is pointless. Make some noise about it, get people on board before they have even seen it!
You can repeat 6 and 7 in a loop as much as needed, then you need to repeat all the steps from 5 to 8 on a regular basis. Collect feedback and iterate improvements and add new elements to keep it interesting."
You can download the model at this link (pdf format).
Final note
There are many more models, and definitely more new ones will appear, since the gamification is constantly evolving, so the previous selection is just a small sample. In any case we should not be obsessed with frameworks, it is important to have some basic knowledge about them, but with few exceptions there is no need for us to become experts. For that purpose, there are specialized consultants and gamification tools to help us implement our process of gamification.

Lulz Security hacks Nintendo to highlight weakness – and offers to hack Sony again
Hacker group Lulz Security has hit game console maker Nintendo.
This Article Covers
Hacker group Lulz Security has hit game console maker Nintendo.
Lulz Security claimed responsibility for stealing the personal details of more than 1m users at Sony Pictures Entertainment on Friday.
Japanese games company Nintendo confirmed an intrusion at one of its affiliates in the US, but says no consumer data or company information was lost.
Your exclusive guide to CIO trends
A collection of our most popular articles for IT leaders from the first few months of 2016, including: - Corporate giants recruit digitally-minded outsiders to drive transformation - Analytics platforms to drive strategy in 2016 - Next generation: The changing role of IT leaders.
"The protection of our customer information is our utmost priority, and we constantly monitor our security," said Nintendo spokesman Tomokazu Nakaura in a statement.
Lulz Security (LulzSec) published a server configuration file, purportedly from a Nintendo secure server on the internet, but said via Twitter that it was not targeting Nintendo, according to the Guardian.
LulzSec said on Twitter that it hoped Nintendo plugged the gap, and later confirmed that the security hole it had identified had been fixed.
"We love Nintendo and Sega, if anything we'd hack *for* them. If you're listening Nintendo/Sega, you, you uh... you want Sony hacked more?" LulzSec tweeted.
Last week's attack on Sony Pictures Entertainment, in which personal details were stolen, is the latest breach in a series of attacks on high-profile companies including defence firm Lockheed Martin, US public news service PBS, Google's Gmail division, and RSA, the security division of EMC.
Against this background, the US is set to publish plans that will categorise cyber attacks as acts of war, according to the BBC.
In future, a US president could consider economic sanctions, cyber retaliation or a military strike if key US computer systems were attacked, US officials have said recently.
A report on the issue is expected from the Pentagon is expected within weeks.

NOVATO — Umpqua Holdings Corp. (Nasdaq: UMPQ), the parent company of Portland, Ore.-based Umpqua Bank, today announced a definitive agreement to acquire Novato-based Circle Bank and its parent company for $24.9 million.
Upon the completion of the acquisition, all six of Circle Bank's branches will operate under the Umpqua name, joining Umpqua's other branches in the North Bay. The transition is expected to be completed in the fourth quarter of 2012.
The acquisition includes a $20.4 million cash consideration for common shareholders, or $17.75 per share. Shoreline Capital Partners LP is the largest common shareholder of Circle Bank, with 99 percent of the outstanding shares of common stock of its parent company, Circle Bancorp. The total value also includes a $3.5 million cash redemption of preferred stock and the value of outstanding options and warrants.
The combined organization will have an asset value of about $11.8 billion, deposits of about $9.4 billion and shareholders' equity of about $1.7 billion.
Umpqua initiated discussions of an acquisition, following the bank's previously announced plan to seek growth opportunities in the Bay Area, said Kimberly Kaselionis, CEO of Circle Bank.
Circle Bank's national profile had increased in recent years, following efforts for an initial public offering that began in late 2010.
"We had grown very rapidly, and we were at a place where we needed more capital to make the loans that the community needed," said Kit Cole, chair and CEO of Circle Bancorp.
The company's board of directors was quickly inundated with unsolicited offers from other banks, delaying the initial public offering but allowing the board to consider a variety of options, she said.
"We had the leisure of picking an organization that was the best fit. We didn't just pick the highest bidder," she said.
Ms. Cole noted that Umpqua agreed to acquire Circle Bancorp for a price-per-share that was nearly 60 percent higher than the $10.50-per-share pricing planned in Circle's IPO.

If you in the village think that my work was a good one,
Who closed the saloons and stopped all playing at cards,
And haled old Daisy Fraser before Justice Arnett,
In many a crusade to purge the people of sin;
Why do you let the milliner's daughter Dora,
And the worthless son of Benjamin Pantier,
Nightly make my grave their unholy pillow?

The fasting blood glucose level (collected after an 8 to 10 hr fast) is used to screen for and diagnose diabetes. An oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT / GTT) may also be used to diagnose diabetes. To be certain of a diagnosis of diabetes two tests (either the fasting glucose or the OGTT) should be done at different times. The OGTT involves a fasting glucose measurement, followed by the patient drinking a glucose drink to 'challenge' their system, followed by another glucose test two hours later. Gestational diabetes is a temporary type of hyperglycaemia seen in some pregnant women, usually late in their pregnancy. Almost all pregnant women are screened for gestational diabetes between their 24th and 28th week of pregnancy using a test for glucose in the urine. If glucose is detected in the urine, they are considered at risk of developing gestational diabetes and they will undergo further testing.Diabetics must monitor their own blood glucose levels, often several times a day, to determine how far above or below normal their glucose is and to determine what oral medications or insulin injections they may need. This is usually done by placing a drop of blood from a finger prick onto a plastic indicator strip and then inserting the strip into a glucose meter, a small machine that provides a digital readout of the blood glucose.
In those with suspected Hypoglycaemia, glucose levels are used to help confirm a diagnosis.The urine glucose is seldom requested by itself. At one time, it was used to monitor diabetics, but it has been largely replaced by the more sensitive and "real time" blood glucose. The urine glucose is, however, one of the substances measured when a urinalysis is performed. A urinalysis may be done as part of a examination or antenatal appointment, when a doctor suspects that a patient may have a urinary tract infection, or for a variety of other reasons. The doctor may follow a raised urine glucose test with blood glucose testing.
^ Back to top
The test may be used as part of a routine examination especially in those people at high risk of developing diabetes - those with a family history of diabetes, those who are overweight and those who are more than 45 years old.
The glucose test may also be used to help diagnose diabetes when someone has symptoms of hyperglycaemia such as:
Glucose may also be tested when a person has symptoms of hypoglycaemia, such as:
Glucose testing is also done in emergency settings to determine if low or high glucose is contributing to symptoms such as fainting and unconsciousness.
If a patient has impaired glucose tolerance their fasting glucose or OGTT levels are higher than normal but not high enough to be diagnosed as a definite diabetes, in this situation, their doctor will request a glucose at regular intervals to monitor their progress. With known diabetics, doctors will use glucose levels in conjunction with other tests such as haemoglobin A1c (HbA1C) to monitor glucose control over a period of time. Occasionally, a blood glucose level may be requested with insulin and C-peptide to monitor insulin.
Diabetics will self-check their glucose, once or several times a day, to monitor glucose levels and to determine treatment options.
Pregnant women are usually screened for gestational diabetes late in their pregnancies, unless they have had symptoms earlier or have had gestational diabetes with a previous child. When a woman has gestational diabetes, her doctor will usually request glucose levels throughout the rest of her pregnancy and after delivery to monitor her condition.
High levels of glucose most frequently indicate diabetes but many other diseases and conditions can also cause raised glucose. The following information summarizes the meaning of the test results.
Some of the other diseases and conditions that can result in elevated glucose levels include:
Moderately increased levels may be seen with impaired glucose tolerance. This condition, if left un-addressed, can lead to type 2 diabetes.
Low glucose levels (hypoglycaemia) are also seen with:
Hypoglycaemia is characterised by a drop in blood glucose to a level where first it causes nervous system symptoms (sweating, palpitations, hunger, trembling, and anxiety), then begins to affect the brain (causing confusion, hallucinations, blurred vision, and sometimes even coma and death). An actual diagnosis of hypoglycaemia requires satisfying the following three criteria:
In some people with symptoms of low blood glucose, dietary changes such as eating frequent small meals and several snacks a day and choosing complex carbohydrates over simple sugars may be enough to help. Those with fasting hypoglycaemia may require IV (intravenous) glucose, if dietary measures are insufficient.
