When should you apply Scrum?
What is Scrum?Scrum is a simple, team-based framework for solving complex problems. Scrum is modelled on successful patterns for product development as identified in "The New New Product Development Game". I would summarize these patterns as follows:
- Inspect and Adapt at regular intervals
- Produce something that might be valuable for your customer at regular intervals
- One voice speaks for the customer
- An interdisciplinary team solves the whole problem
- A coach helps everybody involved to get better
- Management provides direction and support, and knows when it's best to stay out of the way
- Define a plan, follow the plan
- Check progress against milestones
- Maximize utilization of resources
- Managers, customers or stakeholders make key decisions
- Well-defined processes, carefully followed, ensure predictable results.
- Optimization should improve the efficiency of a process
Scrum was created for solving complex problems. What is a complex problem? If you can't know the answer before you start, it's a complex problem. You may not even be sure you are asking the right question! What is the right feature set for this product? Will this product meet the needs of the market? Sure, you can answer these questions in advance, but only through validation do you know if you have gotten the right answer.
Scrum is a team-based framework. It's about people. Scrum works well when people want to do it.
What happens when the people don't want to do Scrum? It doesn't work very well. Scrum does not lend itself to being imposed from above. You can do it, but you create huge internal resistance. A good Scrum implementation, even if top-level management wants it too, is pulled from below. When does classical management make sense?Some people would say the answer to this is never. But I think it is more complicated than that. The patterns of classical management, which was invented by the automobile industry at the beginning of the 20th century, were hugely successful. They are the foundations of most large enterprises, and even today, as Agile methods have made development projects much more successful, an increasing percentage of the wealth generated by society stays in hands of top layers of classical management. This is also a definition of success!
So when do the patterns of classical management make sense?
The key word is predictability. If you can define a process with known inputs that produce the desired outputs, it is probably economically advantageous to do so. This works well for production problems, but is not well aligned with the needs of creative tasks like product innovation.Should you use Scrum?I would encourage you to use Scrum (or another empirical process) for unpredictable contexts:
- Your main objective is some kind of problem solving.
- Multiple skill sets are needed to solve the problem ("a team")
- Validation from customers or stakeholders is important to getting the right answer
- The people involved want to do it. (I often get called in to help people decide they want to do it).
- A known input can lead to a predictable output
- The problem and the solution can be clearly defined
Having said that, if you ask people for examples from their own experience of great projects they'd like to emulate moving forward, these projects often look a lot like Scrum. If you ask people how they would like to organize their work, they often come up with something that looks a lot like Scrum!
Getting Into Reflection Mode
I chaired a session about getting into reflection mode at the Retrospective Facilitators Gathering 2016. In this session we discussed what facilitators can do to help people to look back and reflect in an agile / Scrum retrospective meeting or at any other occasion where they want to learn from how they are doing.
The Retrospective Facilitators Gathering is a yearly Open Space conference by and and for experienced practitioners in agile retrospectives. People from all over the world come to this gathering to share experiences and ideas and to learn from other facilitators. The 2016 edition, which was my second one attending, was held in Sagres, Portugal. In 2017 the RFG will be held in the USA, RFG 2018 will be in Europe again.
Retrospectives Exercises Toolbox - Design your own valuable Retrospectives
I facilitated the session "Going outside, on a sunny morning, to think about … Reflection!" outside at the conference hotel, early in the morning. Those are already things that can help people to reflect: being at a nice location away from the office and their daily work and still being fresh. Many great ideas popped up during this session that I want to share with you in this post.
Getting people into a reflection mode helps to dive into the current situation and create a shared understanding. This understanding makes it easier for people to see what they would like to change and to come up with effective actions to do it.
If you are planning a (Scrum) retrospective, think about what you can do to make people reflect before deciding on what to do. Some of the ideas listed above might be helpful for that. If you want to know more about them, please contact me, and I'll gladly help you (remember, my mission is to help people all over the world to get more value out of their agile retrospectives).
I want to thank Jutta, Toby, George and Karen who joined this session about getting into reflection mode and brought in their ideas, experiences and inspiration! Thanks to Toby for the "making of" picture. Finally, a big thanks to Luis and the organizing committee for having RFG 2016 at such a lovely location!
Us vs. Them: The IT/Business Divide
If your organization brings IT in too late in the decision making process, you're probably suffering from a devastating, costly IT/business divide.

SAFe 4.0 in 5 minutes video
Hi All,
Introducing SAFe to people that are unfamiliar with it can sometimes seem like a daunting task. People build really big systems with SAFe, so SAFe is not a trivial framework. As part of our efforts to make SAFe more accessible (for one such example, see the blog post on Essential SAFe), we've just released a short, informal five-minute video, which gives a brief overview of SAFe and how it works. You can find it here.
SPCs have used previous versions of the video in their Leading SAFe or SAFe for Teams class. It's also a handy, short introduction for anyone new to SAFe. It can also be used to help garner the interest needed to attract people to a session based on SAFe Foundations, SAFe in 8 Pictures, or even to a Leading SAFe class.
We hope you find it useful,
-Inbar Oren

The Simple Leader!
A few years ago I starting playing around with a book concept that described several personal and professional leadership methods and habits I had developed over my three decade career. I collected ideas, supporting information, and would occasionally – often on long plane trips – take a stab at writing a section or two. I even put those up on LeanPub for folks to review and comment.
For many reasons I never made much headway. There was always something a bit more pressing, or seemingly more manageable, than tackling that behemoth of a project. I enjoy writing, and I felt I had something important to share, but it was never THE priority. In the meantime the project occupied valuable space in my brain. As I get older I'm realizing just how valuable that space is.
Then, last fall at the Lean Accounting Summit, I was approached by an attendee who introduced himself and immediately asked when I was going to finish the book. He knew from my blog and LeanPub that I had been working on it, and he said the story so far had really helped him improve his own leadership style. I decided it was time to either put up or shut up (the polite version of the phrase), and one way or another resolve the project and get it out of my head.
I put up. I sequestered myself on a tiny island for two weeks in December and finished the writing. That draft went through several rounds of brutal editing by a professional copy editor, then text and graphic design. Several colleagues provided very valuable reviews, and Matthew May was kind enough to write a foreword. Todd Clarke did a great "visual one pager" summary.
A week ago I received the final proof, and yesterday the book went live on Amazon. Kindle and iBook versions are just a few days away.
The Simple Leader: Personal and Professional Leadership at the Nexus of Lean and Zen.
Receiving that final proof felt incredibly good. It is done and I'm very happy with how it turned out. I'm sure I'll think of improvements over time, but for now the project is complete, and it is no longer consuming space in my head.
The book is organized into eight parts, each with a different purpose:
- Fundamentals – A quick history lesson and exploration of the basics of Lean and Zen.
- Reconnect – Before doing anything, a leader has to be in touch with her or his inner self.
- Create – Methods to improve personal productivity to prepare for the work that is coming.
- Lead – How to engage and lead your team as you begin the improvement journey.
- Clarify – Clarifying what you and your organization are about, defining the current state and the desired future state, and creating a plan.
- Simplify – Using your new plan, you can take the first step and simplify your operation within the context of that plan.
- Improve – Methods to identify and execute improvement projects within the context of your plan.
- Grow – Within ongoing improvement projects in place, it is time to stretch yourself and your organization even further.
I've been humbled by some of the initial reviews:
I have long felt that Lean thinking and mindfulness are the two most important breakthroughs in recent years to help us sort out increasingly chaotic lives. Practicing Lean thinking is a clear path to professional success in hypercompetitive markets just as practicing mindfulness is the way to wellbeing in adverse conditions. It also turns out that both build on each other, which is what Kevin masterfully demonstrates in this frank, well-written and deeply insightful account of his own journey. The Simple Leader is simply a fantastic read!
– Michael Ballé, author of Lead With Respect: A Novel of Lean Practice
Leadership is at the core of any organization, and transforming leadership mindsets and practices is at the core of Lean management. Meyer is a rare author who's not only studied Lean deeply but has also served as CEO. The Simple Leader is chock full of essential leadership practices that are key to organizational transformation and outstanding business performance alike.
– Karen Martin, author of The Outstanding Organization: Generate Business Results by Eliminating Chaos and Building the Foundation for Everyday Excellence
If you're thinking, "Not another book on leadership," then you're in luck. This is not the same old vacuous pablum that so many consultants peddle, or the same sophomoric insights that Zen fanboys wax lyrical over. Kevin's experience as a business CEO, a student of Lean, and a practitioner of Zen combine to produce a uniquely insightful, wonderfully practical guide to management that will be useful to anyone seeking to be a better leader. I defy anyone to read this book and not learn something immediately useful, applicable, and valuable.
– Daniel Markovitz, author of Building the Fit Organization: Six Core Principles for Making Your Company Stronger, Faster, and More Competitive
I've always been impressed by Kevin's dedication to simplicity. This book collects his insights from a lifetime of experiences, travel, reading, work and reflection into a simple and practical book. Open up the table of contents and place your finger down on any topic, and I guarantee that you will find practical hints and insights in this book to help you improve. Take a moment to invest in yourself by reading and reflecting on how to reduce complexity in your life and work.
– Jon Miller,author of Creating a Kaizen Culture: Align the Organization, Achieve Breakthrough Results, and Sustain the Gains
Lean and Agile thinking are founded in a deep 'Respect for People', experiential learning, and a realization that continuous improvement and innovation come from direct observation at the Gemba. In our increasingly complex, distracted and over stimulated world, presence and mindfulness, captured in the Zen instruction to 'Pay Attention!', are increasingly relevant. This book may not only change how you lead, but also how you live.
– Steve Bell, author of Run Grow Transform: Integrating Business and Lean IT
One might say then that Simple, Leader, Lean, and Zen are inherently conflicted, at odds with one another, and that reconciling them would entail a rather Herculean act of creativity. But creativity is the act of bringing something new into existence, the defining quality of which entails connections between seemingly disparate ideas. This is the beauty of The Simple Leader. This is power of the Lean-Zen nexus.
– Matthew May, author of Winning the Brain Game: Fixing the 7 Fatal Flaws of Thinking
Effective personal leadership, requiring conscious individual reflection, is a critical foundation for effective professional leadership. Building on his deep hands-on experience with core Lean and Zen concepts, principles and practices, Kevin Meyer provides the reader with concrete advice and examples necessary to become that outstanding leader. In The Simple Leader Kevin demonstrates how each of us can gain leadership clarity by reducing leadership strategy and processes down to a handful of important truths. The Simple Leader is a short read that delivers with impact. Read this book.
– Adam Zak, co-author of Simple Excellence: Organizing and Aligning the Management Team in a Lean Transformation
The simple leader is not simple at all! The simple leader is the one who has tamed complexity with the notion that simplicity is true elegance. The irony is that the more successful we all become, the more we are enveloped by complexity and reject the intelligence of simplicity. The idea that Kevin could succeed in the business world and understand that success is rooted in simplicity is profound. The Simple Leader is a fantastic story of how Kevin has done this and I was taken with his honesty and brilliance.
– Paul Akers, author of Lean Health: Aging in Reverse
Thanks to all of you who have supported me on this journey!
New Practical Product Ownership Workshop Dates
I just posted the dates for the next Practical Product Ownership workshop: Deliver What Your Customers Need. It starts Aug 23, 2016.
You need this workshop if:
- You are having trouble doing everything in your PO role, you might be trying to do too much. See Product Manager, Product Owner, Business Analyst?
- You are having trouble deciding how to organize your backlog, roadmap, and everything.
- How to value the items you do organize. We discuss Cost of Delay and seven other possibilities to rank the items.
- How to help people articulate the problems they want the team to solve, not the solutions.
- And much, much more.
We meet twice a week for six weeks. Our first meeting is a 90-minute teaching call, where I teach and you ask questions. We meet later that week for a 60-minute coaching call, where you bring your problems, concerns, and challenges.
I estimate you will have about 60-90 minutes of homework every week. Any other questions? Email me.
Henry Ford and Design Thinking
By LibertyGroup25 (Own work)
Henry Ford pioneered many of the ideas that are now commonplace in business, including ideas used in Design Thinking. He has been quoted as saying "If you ask people what they want, it would be a faster horse." This hits on the design thinking principle of divergence. You need to understand what problem you are solving before coming up with a solution. Henry Ford wasn't solving a problem around horses, he was solving a transportation problem.
I was in a design thinking workshop and we did an exercise where first we were asked to draw a door bell. Then we were given a problem in a different framing, we were asked to draw a way to know if someone was at the door. The second set of drawings were much different. A doorbell would have worked, but by reframing the question, many other solutions came out.
Another Henry Ford quote is "you can have any color, as long as it's black." On the surface, this might not sound very customer friendly, However, this response was due to the solution to another problem. When he was developing the production line for the Model T, he was challenged in the painting step. He found all paint colors took to long to dry, except black. By only offering black, he was actually fixing a bottle knock in his process...applying the theory of constraints as it were.
Next time you're working on a solution to a problem, spend a few minutes and think about the framing of the question. Can you change the question in order to expand you possible solutions?
Custom Errors w/ Clean Stack Traces in Node.js
Some recent discussion in the WatchMeCode slack spawned a bit of research into creating custom errors through factory methods, while keeping the stack trace for those errors clean, in Node.js
After a bit of digging, I found a good solution using Node's Error.captureStackTrace method, and recorded a quick screencast to highlight it's use.The Screencast The Sample Code
If you'd like to run the sample code that I showed in this screencast, you can grab it from this gist.Additional Resources

The Power of Agile is in your Customers and Employees
I believe there are the two primary success factors in creating a thriving business: a culture where customers matter and employees matter. I'm not talking about the lip service that is prevalent today. In some cases, we see quite the opposite, where employees are disenfranchised and customers are rarely engaged. Instead, the goal is to have a culture and practices in place that truly gain the benefits of engaging with customers and employees. Through the customer and employee, a company draws their power within an agile culture and, I contend, within any thriving company. When you have a riveting focus on the customer and you believe that an engaged customer matters, then you have the basis for a relationship where you can truly understand what the customer wants. When you have a sharp focus on employees and provide them the space to make decisions and own their work, then you will begin to understand the value an engaged employee base can provide.
If the values are sincerely translated to organizational objectives and agile approaches are applied, then it can act as a differentiator between the success of your organization compared to the success of other organizations. Of course, every company likes to say that employees and customers matter, but are their objectives and actions really aligned with these values? Upon closer inspection, the values should translate into objectives focusing on customer engagement and employee engagement.
- Customer engagement focuses on establishing meaningful and honest customer relationships with the goal of initiating continuous customer feedback to truly identify what is valuable to the customer. This includes establishing all of the activities involved in a Customer Feedback Vision.
- Employee engagement focuses on empowering employees so they can self-organize into teams and can own and be a part of the decision-making process at their own level. When employees have ownership, they have more passion in their work. When they have more passion, they give 110%.
Then we add the "secret ingredient" of applying a continuous and adaptive approach (a.k.a. agile culture, processes, methods, practices, and techniques). If done properly with the ability to adapt, this can lead to an increase in customer sales and an increase in team productivity. This finally leads to your incentive, which is an increase in company profits.
Now is time to take a moment. Are employees disenfranchised or fully engaged? Are customers rarely engaged or is their feedback continuously engaged? Is Agile just a trend that others should do or are you serious about Agile and the culture shift it requires? Keep in mind, the combination of customer and employee engagement within an Agile context isn't just a good idea, it is great for business.
PS - to read more about the importance of customers and employees, consider reading Chapter 3 of the book entitled Being Agile.
SATURN 2016, San Diego
I first heard of SATURN via social media through Michael Keeling, an IBM employee who spoke at XP2009 many years ago. Sam Newman spoke last year about Microservices. Although the conference has a Call For Papers (CFP) each year, they also had a small number of invited speakers and Michael organised for me to go along to talk about Evolutionary Architecture.
SATURN is a conference organised by the SEI (Software Engineering Institute). SEI are probably most well known for CMM, although there is now another institute responsible for it. The conference has been running since 2005 and has a long history of focusing on architectural concerns.Architecting the Unknown keynote by Grady Booch (@Grady_Booch) What I really liked about the conference
I believe that one of SATURN's greatest strengths is a focus on architectural thinking, through the application of the latest tools. Unlike some other conferences, I felt like the programme tried to assemble a good collection of experience reports and presentations that emphasised the architectural principles, rather than focusing on the current tools.
Although this may be less popular for people wanting to learn how to use a specific tool, I feel this emphasis is much more valuable and the lessons longer lasting.
What I also really enjoyed about the conference was the relatively small size which was just over 200 participants from various parts of the world. Having a good location, and small size allowed for some better quality conversations both with other speakers and attendees. One good example of the conference facilitating this, was an office hours session for attendees to easily ask questions of speakers. I shared by office hours with Eoin Woods (author of Software Systems Architecture) and Grady Booch (IBM Fellow, One of the Three Amigos who were best known for developing the Unified Modeling Language).Conference dinner at a baseball game for SATURN 2016
Another example to reinforce that was connecting with Len Bass (one of the authors of Software Architecture in Practice) at the conference dinner (at a baseball game).Other observations
During the conference I spoke with many people carrying various Architect titles. Interestingly many came from many larger organisations and government agencies, which shouldn't have been any surprise given the history of the conference. I remember meeting and speaking with one particular Enterprise Architect (EA), who seemed to be one of the most pragmatic EAs I'd met, who was trying at all costs to stop his board randomly signing large contracts with product vendors like Oracle and IBM without the proper diligence about understanding what they were actually building.
At the same time, I met a number of architects struggling to help their organisations see the value of architecture and the role of the architect.My talk
I spoke after Booch's initial keynote, "Architecting for the Unknown" which lead really well onto the topic I was speaking on, "Evolutionary Architecture". I had a packed room as was a topic that resonated with people. At one point the conference organised brought more chairs into the room and there was still only standing room for the 90 minute talk! I had some great questions and conversations throughout and found out later that I won the award for the best conference talk in the "Architecture in Practice" category!SATURN Evolutionary Architecture talk audience
I'd definitely recommend attending SATURN if you're interested in focused on building architectural thinking and an opportunity to connect with architects across the industry. The size is great for conversations, sharing experiences and with next year's scheduled for Colorado will be really interesting too.Final thanks
I'd like to thank the organising group calling out Michele Falce (Technical Event Coordinator), Bill Pollak (General Chair), Jørn Ølmheim and Amine Chigani (Technial Co-Chairs) who did a great job putting together a fantastic conference, John Klein for hosting Office Hours, and Michael Keeling for organising an invite for me.

My Favorite Thing To Do With Code
There are a lot of great aspects of software development, including writing code, solving problems, and generally working with cool technology and toys.
But of all the things that I do as a developer, there is 1 thing in particular that I absolutely love doing. And that one thing? It's not solving problems, surprisingly (though this is probably a close 2nd).Tweet

Excellent 4.2 /5 from 853 reviews
First day there was a concert and parking was full. Should have reserved parking for customers staying in the hotel
It was amazing. Went for the Beyonce Formation Tour 2016 and my friends and I were very comfortable!
Room was great but no mini bar and bathroom had face towels but no bath towels.
Stay Was okay right next to Camden Yards.
The location was perfect for attending the Orioles baseball game. It was my husband's birthday and the hotel staff gave us a free upgrade for the event.
Is the description of this hotel not correct? Tell us

Re: X100 sRGB or Adobe RGB
In reply to Ryan Williams • Dec 29, 2012
"No, I said for all intents and purposes it's sRGB."
I don't care to get into a debate about this, but this is simply incorrect. ProPhoto RGB as implemented in LR is a much larger colorspace than sRGB. And, while you are correct re LR tonality, it doesn't stop there.

Cinterion, Gemalto's (Euronext NL 0000400653 GTO) machine-to-machine (M2M) business segment and the global leader in M2M communication technology, today launched its first M2M module series in the convenient PCI Express® Mini Card form factor. The new solution includes the latest Intel® chipset technology and quickly adds cost-efficient wireless connectivity to industrial electronics solutions. Featuring easy, 'plug and play' installation, it allows equipment such as vending machines to send inventory and status updates and integrated digital signs to download new advertising campaigns using cellular technology. Supervisors are alerted in real time when items need replenishing or when deliveries can be postponed, which helps optimize operations and save time and fuel costs.
The new Cinterion EHS5 miniPCIe and Cinterion BGS2 miniPCIe help global Intel Intelligent Systems Alliance (IISA) partners and Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) simplify and accelerate development of innovative M2M applications. The device combines market proven Cinterion modules with a long-life Intel chipset and a standard PCI Express Mini Card system connector to simplify cellular connectivity and provide easy access to cloud services. Ruggedized for extreme industrial environments, it is reliable for machines placed outdoors in snow and ice, or with equipment inside industrial facilities that lack heating and cooling systems. The device can be customized by request to include soldered Machine Identification Modules (MIMs) for enhanced security.
"Cinterion's ability to provide cost-efficient, M2M-grade solutions to the wide variety of Intel-based systems is an important part of helping our ISA partners embrace M2M solutions," said Helmut Vogler, Vice President and General Manager of Mobile and Wireless Sales for Intel Corporation. "Within the Intelligent System Framework Intel will promote this exciting new Cinterion solutions into the various and rapidly growing markets of connected systems. Cinterion, and now as part of Gemalto, understands what the M2M market needs and is an important strategic partner to help us address industrial wireless technology."
"Our expanding relationship with Intel has led to three new Cinterion ISA product offerings this year providing alliance members with secure connectivity and simplified field deployment," said Norbert Muhrer, Senior Vice President of Cinterion M2M segment at Gemalto. "The Cinterion M2M miniPCIe is a new product family specifically designed to address customers using Intel processors who want to deploy seamlessly connected intelligent systems. By providing the easiest way to connect industrial systems to cloud services, Cinterion is supporting a new breed of enterprise smart services for the future."

In addition to all the benefits, IoT is also bringing new kind of customer experience challenges - cars that unlock themselves, thermostats turning houses into saunas and baby video monitors broadcasting over the internet. This list can only increase because while IoT services should be intuitive and simple to use, the delivery ecosystem is a myriad of potential problems as IoT explodes complexity. So finding a performance issue is like finding the proverbial needle in the haystack.

And how long has it been since BYU had a signature win, Miami in the 90's? You can say all you want but its been only 5 years since our last amazing season, and its been 20+ years since yours.
Difference is we're moving on to better things not stuck in lala land. I rather have 6-6 seasons with the kind of opponents we bring into RES instead of beating up on cupcakes after going under or at .500 the first 5 games like BYU.
Keep reading everything UTAH football because we all know why you BYU fans come over to our articles.

Fact: Fresno state replace byu and Fresno is a better program than byU. Just look at the standings.
Beating byU year after year after year just didn't do anything for us. Beating byu isn't seen as a good win(remember how the nation mocked texas for losing to you guys? LOL)
We wont play byU because we don't need to play you. byU needs Utah more than Utah "needs" byu.
We have moved above byu by going undefeated several times in RECENT history, beating up on SEC powerhouse Alabama in a bowl game, earning a Pac 12 invite.
The futher we disassociate ourselves with byU the better. Again, byu is seen a s fun religious program, but not a serious national title contender.
Fresno is better.

@40. cal:
I try not to get into the middle of these things, but how do you justify your comment? We've beaten BYU four years in a row. When does that not constitute beating an easy team? Fear is not the reason Utah is not playing Utah, exposure is. As a Utah fan I found it kind of boring playing three in state schools this year. It's time to switch things up a little, like by adding Michigan. It just makes sense.

@Veritas "I hope The U enjoys their new rivals, Grand Canyon University
and Colorado"
That can only mean that BYU's new rivals are Idaho state and Mesa, or is it Mt Saint Mary's?

For those who always throw this out there, please explain to us how the U
"earned" a PAC 12 invite?
We can safely assume Colorado earned one based on the same criteria because they were invited before you were.
I look forward to your honest response.
It it weren't for certain U fans, I really wouldn't say GO WAZZU Cougs!
But of course... GO BYU Cougs!

To the moderators:
"utesies" is hate speech. It denigrates the Native American tribe for which the school is named. Please make a small effort to be balanced. Do you publish articles that refer to BYU fans/students as "zoobs"? Why is "utesies" more acceptable?

The OL looked good last week lets hope that trend continues. If so Shulz won't need to make big plays it will be up to our disappointing running game. Since Wazzu is bad against the run I see us running for over 200 yards.

Richard Chai's In-Between Love Line Still Hits the Spot
We're entirely sick of talking about the economy, but the reality of the shoddy market has affected not only how designers conduct their business, but also the actual designs they're turning out. Richard Chai took advantage of these dire straits by presenting his lower-priced Richard Chai Love line instead of his usual higher-end pieces. Smart move, considering the bevy of buyers for national retail outlets, mag editors (including nearly all of Teen Vogue and Paper), and fashion-friends like Phillip Lim and a pregnant Karolina Kurkova who got a runway-presented impression of Chai's more affordable collection that will undoubtedly stick fast. As always, Chai is not about high-falutin concepts, and instead he focused Love around "perfect" pieces: That is, perfect anoraks, perfect shirts, and perfect rompers (not to mention perfect sweatpants), which will all make lasting additions to our wardrobes.

The Influence Of The Electric Supply Industry On Economic Growth In Less Developed Countries, 2016 University of Southern Mississippi
The Influence Of The Electric Supply Industry On Economic Growth In Less Developed Countries, Edward Richard Bee
This study measures the impact that electrical outages have on manufacturing production in 135 less developed countries using stochastic frontier analysis and data from World Bank's Investment Climate surveys. Outages of electricity, for firms with and without backup power sources, are the most frequently cited constraint on manufacturing growth in these surveys.
Outages are shown to reduce output below the production frontier by almost five percent in Africa and by a lower percentage in South Asia, Southeast Asia and the Middle East and North Africa. Production response to outages is quadratic in form. Outages also increase labor cost, reduce ...

Much analysis on Asian strategic challenges facing the U.S. has justifiably emphasized the South China Sea (SCS). This has also been reflected in 2016 presidential campaign debate on the SCS as an emerging area of U.S. foreign and national security policy concern. The East China Sea (ECS) is at least as important for the strategic interests of the U.S. and its allies given the tension between China and Japan over the Senkaku/Diaoyu islands, potential energy resources in this body of water, increasing defense spending by adjacent geographic powers, the area's importance as a maritime international ...

This paper describes a field project from an introductory soils course taught in spring 2001. Looking at soils in the field is a necessity, since the physical details of soils cannot be readily reproduced in a class or lab setting.Convincing students that crawling into a muddy hole will help them learn does not always work. So I conceived a plan to inspire the class about looking at soil in the field. I used geography as a starting point, by selecting an extraordinary environmental setting for the field project. Then I fully developed a research project for the class, including ...
Exploring The Human Body Space: A Geographical Information System Based Anatomical Atlas, 2016 The University of Maine
Exploring The Human Body Space: A Geographical Information System Based Anatomical Atlas, Antonio Barbeito, Marco Painho, Pedro Cabral, João Goyri O'Neill
Journal of Spatial Information Science
Anatomical atlases allow mapping the anatomical structures of the human body. Early versions of these systems consisted of analogical representations with informative text and labeled images of the human body. With computer systems, digital versions emerged and the third and fourth dimensions were introduced. Consequently, these systems increased their efficiency, allowing more realistic visualizations with improved interactivity and functionality. The 4D atlases allow modeling changes over time on the structures represented. The anatomical atlases based on geographic information system (GIS) environments allow the creation of platforms with a high degree of interactivity and new tools to explore and analyze the ...
A Context-Sensitive Conceptual Framework For Activity Modeling, 2016 The University of Maine
A Context-Sensitive Conceptual Framework For Activity Modeling, Rahul Deb Das, Stephan Winter
Journal of Spatial Information Science
Human motion trajectories, however captured, provide a rich spatiotemporal data source for human activity recognition, and the rich literature in motion trajectory analysis provides the tools to bridge the gap between this data and its semantic interpretation. But activity is an ambiguous term across research communities. For example, in urban transport research activities are generally characterized around certain locations assuming the opportunities and resources are present in that location, and traveling happens between these locations for activity participation, i.e., travel is not an activity, rather a mean to overcome spatial constraints. In contrast, in human-computer interaction (HCI) research and ...

Μ-Shapes: Delineating Urban Neighborhoods Using Volunteered Geographic Information, Matt Aadland, Christopher Farah, Kevin Magee
Journal of Spatial Information Science
Urban neighborhoods are a unique form of geography in that their boundaries rely on a social definition rather than a well-defined physical or administrative boundary. Currently, geographic gazetteers capture little more than then the centroid of a neighborhood, limiting potential applications of the data. In this paper, we present µ-shapes, an algorithm that employs fuzzy-set theory to model neighborhood boundaries suitable for populating gazetteers using volunteered geographic information (VGI). The algorithm is evaluated using a reference dataset and VGI from the Map Kibera Project. A confusion matrix comparison between the reference dataset and µ-shape's output demonstrated high sensitivity and ...

Artl@s Bulletin
Building upon a preliminary socioeconomic analysis of the art dealers in Paris between 1815 and 1955 (ARTL@S Bulletin 2, n°2), this paper presents the findings of a spatial study of the Parisian art market in this period. Using serial geographical data drawn from a single, consistent source – the Bottin du commerce – we mapped the spatial evolution of art dealers over 140 years, using a geocoding system with composite locators. The article explores the different spatial dynamics of this market, and seeks to shed light on the links between the evolution of the Parisian economy as a whole and ...

Shrine Pilgrimage (Ziyārat) In Turco-Iranian Cultural Regions, 2016 Dublin Institute of Technology
Shrine Pilgrimage (Ziyārat) In Turco-Iranian Cultural Regions, Mehdi Ebadi
International Journal of Religious Tourism and Pilgrimage
Academic studies, dedicated to various aspects of religiously motivated travel have increased steadily, especially in recent years. Despite the huge amount of publications related to tourism and religious pilgrimage, there is still a gap between abstract theory and empirical research. Studies devoted to pilgrimage in the developing countries generally, and Islamic regions in particular are rather few in number in spite of its socio-economic importance and widespread practices. The present work tries to address this relative lack of attention and will shed more light on the tradition of shrine pilgrimage (known as ziyārat) in Turco-Iranian cultural milieu that is almost ...
Ritual Journeys In North America: Opening Religious And Ritual Landscapes And Spaces, 2016 Brigham Young University
Ritual Journeys In North America: Opening Religious And Ritual Landscapes And Spaces, Daniel H. Olsen
International Journal of Religious Tourism and Pilgrimage
The religious landscape of North America is different from other regions of the world in that not only is there a lack of a highly visible religious elements, but also the idea and practice of pilgrimage and ritual travel is not as pervasive as in Europe and Asia. However, there are many human-built and natural spaces marked by Roman Catholics, Protestants, Mormons, Indigenous peoples, and members of other faiths which are subject to either formal or informal pilgrimage-like travel. Visits to these sacred sites have intensified with the rise and expansion of tourism after World War II, conflating pilgrimage-like travel ...

Religious Tourism And Italian Sacred Mounts: Experiences Of Networking And Co-Operation At A Unesco Site, Raffaella Afferni, Carla Ferrario
International Journal of Religious Tourism and Pilgrimage
A Sacred Mount is a historical holy site and former pilgrimage attraction. It is a devotional complex located on a mountain, and composed of a series of chapels and shrines in which scenes from the life of Christ, the Virgin Mary or the saints are represented through paintings and sculptures. In 2003 the Sacred Mounts of Piedmont and Lombardy were included in the UNESCO World Heritage List being considered as representative of something that can be understood, in part, through visitor interactions with the areas in which they are located (see Di Giovine, 2009:208).

Framing And Power In Public Deliberation With Climate Change: Critical Reflections On The Role Of Deliberative Practitioners, 2016 University of Calgary
Framing And Power In Public Deliberation With Climate Change: Critical Reflections On The Role Of Deliberative Practitioners, Gwendolyn Blue, Jacquie Dale
Journal of Public Deliberation
Drawing on the experiences of a deliberative practitioner and critical social scientist involved in the planning, production and implementation of a deliberative initiative on climate change, this paper reflects on nuances of framing and power in practical settings. Decisions about framing, some of them more conscious than others, influence the process of opinion formation among participants as well as the outcomes of the deliberation. Framing enacts power through the selection of deliberative approaches, the viewpoints that are admitted into the procedure, the alternatives that are defined, as well as the solutions that are ultimately proposed. Grounded in reflexivity as a ...

Beaches, People, And Change: A Political Ecology Of Rockaway Beach After Hurricane Sandy, Bryce B. Dubois
All Graduate Works by Year: Dissertations, Theses, and Capstone Projects
This dissertation uses restoration practices of Rockaway beach post-Hurricane Sandy as a lens to investigate tensions between nature and society on urban coasts. By focusing on this New York City beach, this dissertation aims to examine the interaction between the beach, residents, city and federal agencies, and local environmental grassroots stewards in their response to coastal flooding and erosion. This is an ethnographic case study of Rockaway Beach during the two years (October 2012-October 2014) following Hurricane Sandy. This case study is based on secondary data analysis of interviews with 52 key informants, field-notes from participant observation at community and ...
Increasing Accessibility For Map Readers With Acquired And Inherited Color Vision Deficiencies: A Re-Coloring Algorithm For Maps, 2016 Graduate Center, City University of New York
Increasing Accessibility For Map Readers With Acquired And Inherited Color Vision Deficiencies: A Re-Coloring Algorithm For Maps, Gretchen M. Culp
All Graduate Works by Year: Dissertations, Theses, and Capstone Projects
Approximately 8% of the male population suffer from an inherited form of color vision deficiency (CVD). Age, diabetes, macular degeneration, cataracts and glaucoma result in eye defects including an acquired form of CVD. Inherited CVD is marked by a difficulty in discerning red from green, while acquired CVD is marked by a difficulty in discerning blue from green. A recent review of the cartographic literature revealed a deficit in studies on accessible maps for readers with the acquired form of CVD. In addition, research on accessible maps for readers with the inherited form of CVD was restricted to the design ...

Evolving Patterns: Conflicting Perceptions Of Cultural Preservation And The State Of Batik'S Cultural Inheritance Among Women Artisans In Guizhou, China, Katherine B. Uram
Lawrence University Honors Projects
My exploration features Miao batik-making in Guizhou Province and explores several sets of overlapping questions. The first set focuses on the status of the craft of Miao batik-making and the perceptions of its future. Is batik-making a dying art form? To what extent is Batik-making a thriving cultural practice today, or do Miao in China (and other ethnic groups involved in batik-making) perceive an inheritance crisis? My next focus is on the role of institutions and the tourism industry. If taught less and less in the domestic sphere (traditions passed from mother to daughter), what role do public domains such ...
Planning For Bike Share Connectivity To Rail Transit, 2016 Texas A&M Transportation Institute
Planning For Bike Share Connectivity To Rail Transit, Greg P. Griffin, Ipek N. Sener
Journal of Public Transportation
Bike sharing can play a role in providing access to transit stations and then to final destinations, but early implementation of these systems in North America has been opportunistic rather than strategic. This study evaluates local intermodal plan goals using trip data and associated infrastructure such as transit stops and bike share station locations in Austin, Texas, and Chicago, Illinois. Bike sharing use data from both cities suggest a weak relationship with existing rail stations that could be strengthened through collaborative, intermodal planning. The study suggests a planning framework and example language that could be tailored to help address the ...

Natural History Of The Ahlstrom'S And Roose'S Prairies, Olympic National Park, Washington, 2016 Western Washington University
Natural History Of The Ahlstrom'S And Roose'S Prairies, Olympic National Park, Washington, Andrew Bach, Dave Conca
Andrew Bach
The objective of this research is to evaluate the wetland and forest dynamics in and around the Ozette Prairies to identify their origin and history since the Last Ice Age. The Ozette Prairies are treeless areas, dominated by unique associations of understory species in an otherwise heavily forested region. The prairies are historically (pre-European) persistent elements of the landscape in a region where the climate promotes forest growth. Presently, the prairies are undergoing encroachment by the surrounding forest. The patchy character of the vegetation attests to centuries, or more, of climate change, expansion and demise of forest populations and changing ...

Where is the ladders for the wayne tower and the garbage trucks for Lego Batman 2 for the wii?
Answer from: Ryback Rules
No garbage trucks. And if there were ladders for Wayne Tower it would take ten minutes to climb on it. With a helicopter or a flying character, it takes like a minute to FLY on it. Let alone climb it.
Answer from: Aroup Goupta
Yeah, climbing will take 30 min. Maybe an hour for a ladder.

A former Montgomery County man accused of killing two teenagers in a marijuana-fueled crash is heading to trial on new charges.
Austin Ewers, 21, formerly of Lower Pottsgrove, waived his preliminary hearing today in Lawrence County.
He was charged with driving drunk in New Wilmington back in November.
In 2009, Ewers was just 16 years old when he was charged with driving under the influence of marijuana and causing a crash that killed two people and injured several more.
He was released from a juvenile treatment facility when he turned 18.
