The SJR indicator measures the scientific influence of the average article in a journal, it expresses how central to the global scientific discussion an average article of the journal is.
Evolution of Citations per Document to a journal's published documents during the two, three and four previous years. The two years line is equivalent to journal impact factor ™ (Thomson Reuters) metric.
Evolution of the total number of citations and journal's self-citations received by a journal's published documents during the three previous years.
Evolution of the number of total cites per document and external cites per document (i.e. journal self-citations removed) received by a journal's published documents during the three previous years.
International Collaboration accounts for the articles that have been produced by researchers from several countries. The chart shows the ratio of a journal's documents signed by researchers from more than one country.
Not every article in a journal is considered primary research and therefore "citable", this chart shows the ratio of a journal's articles including substantial research (research articles, conference papers and reviews) in three year windows.

[quote:Anonymous Coward 1342532:MV8xNDk0NTg4XzMzNzQ1ODE3XzI4NDQwNTc3] [quote:Earth Cries:MV8xNDk0NTg4XzMzNzI0MDAxX0UxRDM1MjdF] [b]Breaking news: New oil sheen near site of Deepwater Horizon disaster[/b] http://www.stuarthsmith.com/breaking-news-new-oil-sheen-near-site-of-deepwater-horizon-disaster/ Snip: Experts had predicted such oil leaks would likely take place after the Deepwater Horizon rig was capped. [b][u]That's because the blocked oil continues to seek a path to the surface, and that could create fissures or cracks in the sea floor for the hydrocarbons to escape. [/u][/b]This situation is exactly what we'd warned about in 2010 — that the rig diaster, caused by BP's reckless and foolish actions, would continue to wreak havoc on the Gulf environment for years to come. Connect the dots to the sinkhole. [/quote] As an FYI in relation to this- Somewhere last night I read that the napoleonville Salt Dome is one of 3 highly desirable oil/gas drilling locations. right now I don't see where I read that. There has been and is a lot of fracking going on there. Much to my surprise since I keep hearing how our currently operational oil reserves are insufficient, I was shocked to find that the land is being leased to out of nation companies. (yes I realize BP is british, but I'm so used to it, I forget) Grand Gulf out of perth, has rights to 33,00 to 35,300 acres for a 3d seismic shoot and drill in Napoleon salt dome area. They have a 25% interest and have leased out to other companies, one being Golden Gate (australia) which gets a percentage of profit and cost. Shooting, which I will explain in a second started in 2007 if not before. The golden Gate link is from 2010. Phase A is 3d seismic shoot, phase B is 3d drilling. 3d seismic shoot and drilling both refer to seismic reflectivity. If you wikipedia that, you find reflection seimology. it says that a Viboseis or dynamite is used. It is the princples of frequency reflection used by haarp. In mining it has been used as survey since 60's. Either RF frequency or electromagnetic frequenmcy is used at speed of sound. So the fracturing instability has been ongoing and increasing and apparently the napoleonville salt dome and salt domes in general is/are a preferred location. http://www.pennenergy.com/index/articles/pe-article-tools-template.articles.oil-gas-journal.exploration-development.grand-gulf-energy-us-drilling-program-successful.html http://www.ggpl.com.au/operationsnapoleonville.html for those intested, the appendix goes into detail about the salt dome geology and the relation to drilling and low cost high yield http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reflection_seismology [/quote]
Original Message
I will be posting the signals I see on ELF here. I will post with intensity of each signal seen on the ELF range. I will post intensity using the Seismic scale from 1 to 10 Magnitudes. Be aware that once the signal comes in on ELF it can take from 1 hour and 40 minutes to 2 hours and 30 minutes for the quake to be seen on USGS sites. These signals come in on ELF about 1 1/2 to 2 hours before they actually impact what ever region their epicenters are. Then it takes USGS sites about 30 minutes to display.
The signals I pay attention to are in the 1 Hz to 10 Hz frequencies. Those are almost always Seismic.
I will be doing this when I am in front of my computer, not all the time so be aware that I will not be able to catch them all.
These ELF signals give approximately a 2 hour window to work and figure out epicenter. That is another task I will take on in the future. It is the hardest part of Earthquake prediction.
This is an addition I added to a thread about Elenin;
Be weary next 3 hours, have plan prepared for some possible shaking. Getting some unusual readings on ELF. Not sure if it will impact Japan region but better to be safe than sorry. Keep your mind focused and aware that Japan might be getting some seismic activity headed that way. This one might be 5+ if I am not mistaken. No panic just keep your senses on alert status.
The unusual activity I heard were 18 very intense thumps. In the 1Hz to 10Hz frequency. Could be seismic.
Then these quakes occurred;

Why is it easy for pacific islanders/asians to live in NZ but not USA/euros ??
Posted in the New Zealand Forum
North Shore, New Zealand
#1 Oct 12, 2008
Why is it that pacific islanders and asians can bring their entire extended family to NZ and many can't even speak english properly (i thought we had a strict points based system) but then on the other side english, germans, swiss and americans sometimes get denied citizenship even though they are fluent english and highly qualified, can someone please explain how this double standard legally works ???
#2 Oct 13, 2008
stage a coup my friend and get rid of Helen and all problem will be solved.
United States
#3 Oct 13, 2008
Maybe because New Zealanders like Islanders so much?=)
Porirua, New Zealand
#4 Oct 13, 2008
Besides the points system(skilled migrant category) you mentioned there are several other Enry options into NZ.
There's the samoan quota, pacific access category and family category which will explain why there are so many islanders here. You'll find most asian are here under Business and investment category.
You'll find answer to your quetion on the Nz immigration website.

Pacific access category, what the hell is that ??? sounds terrible

bilbo ki`o knows the answers to the questions bilbo asks. bilbo is another PacificIslanderAsian hater with hidden agendas behind the question.
Auckland, New Zealand
#7 Oct 14, 2008
Bilbo I don't see where there is a double standard?.
A kiwi entering Europe or the US has to go through the same process there, so why the hell do you expect any different coming here?
As for the islanders theres a special relationship with NZ as you'll find that some pacific nations were once NZ territories before gaining independence.
Besides without them you would'nt have the All BLACKS!

Ask Akiwi as Im sure he will have some hairbrained answer with and underling racist feel to the answer.
As mentioned by other replies, check the nzis web site, its actually quite good, if you cant find the answer there then go to the FAQ sections and ask them a question yourself. Only 1 catch though, you must supply them with your personal details.

#9 Oct 15, 2008
I dont give a shit if we dont have the all blacks as good because of the lack of islander, bottom line is every day i see useless islanders in youth gangs causing shit, whos parents should have never been let here. living here is a privledge not an entitlement. there own countries are shit so they want to exploit our first world nation and bring it down with them , Any race is welcome if they have the right qualifications that NZ needs, but there should be a birth license so poor people dont rapidly mutliply (all races) so we dont have to all subsidise to people that are too stupid to funtion in society. Our extreme political correctness will be the end of NZ, Look at the UK rampant multiculturalism has DESTROYED england, i know ive lived there, thats why so many english are leaving. denmark has very stirct immigration and its the happiest nation on earth

#10 Oct 16, 2008
hidden agenda ? um im not really into those kind of conspirocy theories, truth is we have the most relaxed immigration laws in the world and its not helping our country. We lose skilled citzens and recent immigrants that are highly skilled to australia (many highly skilled asians islanders that come here leave to aussie as soon as they get citizenship) and we are left with the f**ktards with an IQ of 60 who have 10 retarded children each, then to make things worse replace the skilled citzens migrants with more idiots, looking for 'growth' in numbers rather than productivity gains, Norway operates on a very strict immigration basis which is why it does not want to be part of the EU and it has very high productivity, if im not mistaken the worlds highest

You ain't no real Kiwi,I can tell,So cut the crap and go back to there you come from,trying to tell us locals how our lifes should be in N.Z,yeah right! So what about Norway,Eu and England.
N.Z will always be better and you know it,I mean You are here now, right! must be good?

ok..firstly...you sound like a proud kiwi...and what kind of proud kiwi would want an All Blacks squad weaker??....LOL......jks
alright, now to be serious....i do agree with you on a couple aspects....
there should be a rule for islanders...if you ever get involved in crime, gangs etc..thats it mate....back you go to the islands......none of this PC crap
and in terms of your birth liscence...you sound like Michael Laws on radiolive lol ; )
North Shore, New Zealand
#14 Oct 20, 2008
I woulnt say i sound like pauline hanson but i dont really know too much about her opinions in detail. what I thinks is that its common sense really to have stricter immgration, If we have the loosest immigration laws on the entire planet, that has to give an indication that we have swinged too far in the wrong direction, also A birth licence is a good idea, im all for it, if I dont have enough money i shouldnt be allowed to have more than one kid, Adoptive parents have very strict criteria to adopt, but any low life abusive criminal can have as many children as they want, yeah its controversial but NZ's in for tough times if we dont change and we need as much stability as possible, the world has always been inherently unstable and just because we've had relative stability since after world war II doesnt mean things will remain like this, most younger people in their twenties, teens in my experience think like this, maybe you people who disagree are older with different perceptions of the way NZ is going ?? I dont know ??

Easy! They don't come from this part of the world,But islanders,N.Zers,kiwis,Samoan, Tongans,Pakeha,Maori and Aussies do Ok ! its only right that the locals get first pick before any Euro or Asian country's!
They just don't respect our country full stop!
Bring their racist hate culture to our shore's,Looking at most of these country they come from are suffering from pollution and over populated with a number of Human health rights problems truth be known.
God knows their to many already!
North Shore, New Zealand
#20 Nov 1, 2008
Oh is that right, is that why immigrants from the islands create so much crime and european immigrants such as the numerous scotish doctors, the english engineers and nurses, the swiss biochemists and pharmacoligists contribute so much to our infrastructure and health system that YOU rely on. Next time your in hospital and a scottish doctor is trying to save your sorry ass, say "na bro get me one of them kiwi doctors" to which they reply "ahh sorry theve all left to australia how bout we just let you die ?"
Auckland, New Zealand
#21 Nov 1, 2008
Yes ,that's right chap! Get over it.
My health is pretty good at the moment,but thanks anyway.Now a scottish doctor saving my a.s,Not ever! English maybe, or even Asian,but I can't say that a scottish Doc has lately, if ever.
Die you say, blowing your bag pipe's a bit much.

Because it was about $6 (after tax), I got Apocalypse Meow v1 because cats and rabbits? I also got Bravest Warriors TPB 1 for half off! I've enjoyed the cartoon, and I hear the comic is more family friendly, but I am quite excited to read!
I also got three of my old game boy games new batteries because their save files deleted. Cost $5 a game to reclaim Pokemon Gold, Silver, and Link's Awakening. Had to take them to a place to get repaired, they're kind glued in there or something, I wouldn't be able to have replaced them myself. I did find it strange that my Gold and Silver went out before Blue or Yellow (they probably had more data to save, with the night/day/berry/other cycle and whatnot). Crystal is still find for the time being.

Also, I scored the Kamichu! Complete Box Set -- the thinpak set distributed by Funimation after Geneon folded -- for $25 on eBay. I already have the Shrine Box and singles, but I couldn't pass up the deal on the later set. It's in excellent, like-new condition and looks great on my shelves.

Many years ago, around 1870, promoters likened the seven-mile stretch of sugar sand beach in Naples, Florida to that of the beautiful Italian peninsula of Naples, Italy. The area was originally the native home to the Calusa Indians, and the first white settlers arrived in about 1887.
Walter N. Haldeman, the owner of the Louisville Courier-Journal, purchased land and founded Naples, and he was the first to protrude a 600-foot fishing pier out into the Gulf of Mexico.
In 1905, one could purchase a beach lot for just $125.00. Prices have increased since then, but Naples is still the best deal if you're looking to settle into a pristine paradise that is world-renowned for its beaches, golf courses, restaurants and lifestyle. Today, Naples is the crown jewel of Southwest Florida's Gulf Coast and is visited by people from all over the world.

"Latin is a precise, essential language. It will be abandoned, not because it is unsuitable for the new requirements of progress, but because the new men will not be suitable for it. When the age of demagogues and charlatans begins, a language like Latin will no longer be useful, and any oaf will be able to give a speech in public and talk in such a way that he will not be kicked off the stage. The secret to this will consist in the fact that, by making use of words that are general, elusive, and sound good, he will be able to speak for an hour without saying anything. With Latin, this is impossible."

"We as Catholics have not properly combated (the culture) because we have not been taught our Catholic Faith, especially in the depth needed to address these grave evils of our time. This is a failure of catechesis both of children and young people that has been going on for fifty years. It is being addressed, but it needs much more radical attention... What has also contributed greatly to the situation is an exaltation of the virtue of tolerance which is falsely seen as the virtue which governs all other virtues. In other words, we should tolerate other people in their immoral actions to the extent that we seem also to accept the moral wrong. Tolerance is a virtue, but it is certainly not the principal virtue; the principal virtue is charity... Charity means speaking the truth. I have encountered it (not speaking the truth) many times myself as a priest and bishop. It is something we simply need to address. There is far too much silence — people do not want to talk about it because the topic is not 'politically correct.' But we cannot be silent any longer."

"The legalization of the termination of pregnancy is none other than the authorization given to an adult, with the approval of an established law, to take the lives of children yet unborn and thus incapable of defending themselves. It is difficult to imagine a more unjust situation, and it is very difficult to speak of obsession in a matter such as this, where we are dealing with a fundamental imperative of every good conscience — the defense of the right to life of an innocent and defenseless human being."

For your consideration…
"One of the most dangerous errors is that civilization is automatically bound to increase and spread. The lesson of history is the opposite; civilization is a rarity, attained with difficulty and easily lost. The normal state of humanity is barbarism, just as the normal surface of the planet is salt water. Land looms large in our imagination and civilization in history books, only because sea and savagery are to us less interesting."
- C.S. Lewis
More food for thought:
"I expect to die in bed, my successor will die in prison and his successor will die a martyr in the public square. His successor will pick up the shards of a ruined society and slowly help rebuild civilization, as the church has done so often in human history."

Property Tax Scofflaws
During one of our "we need more tax money" drills recently, the proponents dusted off an old report that suggests that single family home owners do not pay their fair share in property taxes. How one goes about determining such matters is quite tricky. Exactly who benefits from government expenditures and who pays them. I will explore the first of these questions here- the second is deferred to another blog.
What the report did is to assume that each of us benefited equally from our city's expenditures. On the surface that would seem quite accurate when it comes to services such as police, fire, roads and the like. But that hardly accounts for all our expenditures. There are services where assigning benefits is more problematic. Not everyone uses our recreations facilities. Not everyone agrees with our public assistance approach. Some funds come with specific earmarks for certain groups or areas of the city. Claiming that we all benefit equally from these expenditures is quite a stretch.
In fact it tantamount to telling people who strongly believe in limited government services that they are beneficiaries from the very services they do not use or want. That would seem to be a self fulfilling justification for endless services. It is just plain wrong and smells of a politically dictated conclusion. A more reasoned and thorough examination would likely reveal that a significant amount of our city's expenditures are focused on a more limited subset of our citizens.
The report basically assumes away the very difficult challenge of determining beneficiaries of public expenditures with a broad brush pronouncement of a broadly defined "common good! No rational public policy decisions can possibly be made based on that document – it simply assumes away the challenge!

I certainly hope you took into account that property taxes,state taxes,county taxes,school taxes,monthly taxes to utilities and sales taxes are also included with that tab. Adds up doesn't it; so from single families viewpoint their thousands of dollars for taxes isn't buying much to live on these days. Still they are treated like the bankers for city government that cannot live within it's means ---something they cannot do.

Take a moment to look at Proposition K. This is property tax reform written by Dr. Art Hall, executive director center for applied economics at the university of kansas. Propisition K is starting to get a look in the legislature in Topeka.
George Lippencott 7 years, 3 months ago
In response to max1 (Anonymous):
You are sooo right! The report I critiqued was generated for the City Commission a number of years back. It was referenced by those who want to raise you property taxes as justification to do so last year. I commented to the Commissioners at that time. I suspect pressure to raise our taxes again this year so I am addressing the report now in the hopes that those paying the bills will take note of the misinformation out there that is used to tax them. You can find the report on the City's web-site.

The Sartorialist Makes More Than $250,000 A Year
Scott Schuman interviewed with The Talks this morning about fashion blogs, and had a few illuminating things to say about the business of blogging. With advertising alone, Scott's raked in "more than a quarter million and less than a half a million" in banner ads from American Apparel and Net-a-Porter. This figure is still substantially less than ads spent for magazine pages, but Schuman is confident that he still has the upper hand: "I think everyone knows not to believe in magazines anymore, they know that magazines are just page after page of advertisers." Click through to read the rest of the interview where he sure isn't shy about voicing his opinions about Tavi and other young fashion bloggers. (The-Talks)

No-case submission overruled in Windsor Forest murder trial
Justice Navindra Singh yesterday overruled a no-case submission made by the defence for the four accused in the Windsor Forest murder trial. Bibi Farida Khan, called 'Pum', Shamiza Khan, called 'Sham', Hoosman Khan, called 'Strong Man', and Bisoondial Mahadeo, called 'Weed Man', all of Windsor Forest, are on trial before Justice Singh and a 12-member jury for the murder of overseas-based Guyanese Motilall Singh at Windsor Forest. The bloodied body of Singh was found close to a tiny bridge at Second Street, Windsor Forest in September, 2009. A fifth person, Ayube Hamid, called 'Little,' was also charged with the murder but he died while in prison. In unsworn statements, all four of the accused denied they were involved in Singh's death when called upon to lead their own defence by Justice Navindra Singh, who is presiding over the matter in the High Court.
The number one accused, Mahadeo, told the court that he only knew the other accused by seeing them. "…I don't know how I end up here," he said. He added that on September 7, 2009 he was going to the shop when the police pulled up and asked him if he knew about a murder and he responded no. "This name that the police give me 'Weed Man' is not my name… I was home sleeping when this thing happen. I can't believe ah deh in jail 4 years for a murder I know nothing about," he said. In her statement, Shamiza Khan said that the $24000, US$100 and five US$20 bills she had in her possession were given to her by her stepfather to change.
Hoosman Khan, the number three accused alleged that he was beaten into signing a statement. "…He tek out two paper from he pocket and tell mi if mi ain't sing these paper he gon beat me bad tonight. I do so and I sign the paper because mi nah wan them beat me again…none of them never tell me about my rights," Khan told the court.
He said that he told one Sargeant Narine Lall that he and his stepfather were drinking when they were attacked by three masked men and the he ran away.
Khan also told the court that he was told to take off his clothes and kneel down while two black plastic bags were placed over his head. He said that he was then beaten with a bat on his buttocks.
Farida Khan, in her statement, said she was at home when she was told that her stepfather had died. "I throw open the door and call out to a neighbour and say that Motie dead. When I go on the road I see Motie lie down on the corner… Since I know Motilall Singh and he became my stepfather he was never a bad person. He never treat me bad. I had a very good relationship with Motie." Khan also told the court, "I don't know the man they call 'Tall Man'. I never know him. They say that I throw money in the bus, I never do duh." Defence Attorney Glen Hanoman called his only witness, Anand Persaud Sookoo, who told the court that during the month of September 2009 he was the corporal of police in charge of taking prisoners to court from the station and handing them over to the prison authority.
He recalled that on September 10, he took Mahadeo to the Georgetown Prisons and Mahadeo told him that he had a complaint. "He told me that Sargeant Lall assaulted him and cuffed him in his face…I looked at his face and the exposed parts of his hands to see if there was any black or blue marks and I did not see any. I was asked by the prison authority to write and submit a short statement as to what he told me." Under re-examination by Senior State Counsel Judith Gildharie-Mursalin, Sookoo was asked if the accused ever complained that he was beaten by an officer, and he said no. Hanoman is appearing for Mahadeo, while Senior Counsel Bernard De Santos is appearing for the other three accused. Gildharie-Mursalin is presenting the state's case. The trial continues tomorrow.

How to do a Standing Bent Over Dumbbell Row – Palms Facing 'Back'
How to do Exercises and use the Fitness Equipment at LA Fitness.
Standing Bent Over Dumbbell Row – Palms Facing Back
Stand with your feet approximately shoulder width apart. Bend your knees slightly and lean forward at your waist so that your torso is almost parallel to the ground. Now hold the dumbbells at your sides with your palms facing "back" or "behind" you, and while keeping your elbows bent slightly, use your upper back muscles to lift the weights to your sides. Then, slowly reverse the motion, and return to the starting position, again maintaining a slight bend in your elbows. Repeat for your desired number of repetitions.

Recent reviews:
March 9, 2016 - These socks are thin, but warm. They feel a little softer (fuzzier) after they've been washed a few times. The tops are quite narrow; I have to fold the top down and wear them as anklets.
March 4, 2016 - Not for those with large calves. I had to roll the top down so they'd be comfortable. Great quality, though.
January 23, 2016 - Bought they for my husband. His feet are always cold. He loves these socks, keeps his feet warm.
May 15, 2015 - I bought these socks for my daughter who lives in Russia. She loves them! She says they are not bulky, but keep her feet nice and warm.
April 12, 2015 - These are rather thin socks but I am giving them to my son-in-law and so I do not know how comfortable they will be. I think he will like them to keep his feet warm in the winter.

Yes, indeed – proving that two does go into four is Yamaha's matching pair of four-stroke-engined 125cc scooters, the $4299 BeeWee and the $2999 XC125 Vity.
Lined up alongside other, broadly similar, small-capacity commuter scooters, there's little to distinguish the BeeWee and Vity from their cheap and cheerful fellows.
Under the surface, however, it's a case of all change. Gone, for good or so it seems, are the modest, hard-working little two-stroke engines which have been the cornerstone for Yamaha scooters for so long, their place taken by a couple of smoother, quieter and even more fuel-efficient four-strokes.
Bracketed together, as Yamaha Motor New Zealand is doing for marketing purposes, it's also easy to tell the two apart.
The XC125 Vity is what you could describe as a traditional small-capacity scooter, one with small 10-inch diameter wheels, a single rear shock absorber and conventional all-enveloping bodywork, complete with a small handlebar-mounted cowl.
The BeeWee is an altogether funkier, more modern proposition, with distinctive vertically stacked headlights, exposed frame rails, larger (12-inch) wheels and fatter, higher-profile tyres.
Now, if cheap, basic transport is all you're after, I'm sure you're wondering why I'm making such a fuss about these two new four-stroke models. But believe me, there's a reason.
The thing is, you see, scooters, such as the BeeWee and XC125 Vity, tread a fine line between being a great way to save money and a right pain in the butt for other road users.
In pancake-flat cities such as Invercargill or Palmerston North, you can get away with a sub-five-kilowatt 50, for instance.
In hilly burgs like Dunedin or Wellington, however, you really need something bigger and more powerful, such as the two new Yamahas 125s, no matter how attractive the price of the restricted-horsepower, drive-on-a-car-licence 50cc models is.
The same applies in cities with satellite towns or suburbs linked by sections of dual-lane carriageway, motorway or the open road. For your own safety, you must be able to keep up with the rest of the traffic.
So how do these two new Yamaha four-strokes rate?
I'm pleased to say that both pass muster in the "keeping up with traffic" stakes. The taller, chunkier BeeWee is easily able to maintain 80kmh to 90kmh on my local dual-lane carriageway and is able, at a pinch, to hold 100kmh-plus on the motorway.
The lower, slimmer XC125 Vity seemed to offer slightly better initial urge, which I attribute to its lower overall weight, but it started to show signs of stress in blustery conditions on the dual-lane carriageway.
Both are small, compact units with little leg room behind the front scuttle for longer legs (check out the pictures, above, to see how I managed to squeeze my lanky 1.8-metre body on it), although conversely, the need to provide enough storage room for a helmet under the seat means you sit quite high.
Perhaps because of their modest dimensions, both are agile, nimble little numbers with the BeeWee just edging out the Vity in the road-holding stakes thanks to its larger-diameter alloy wheels (12 inches over the smaller, narrower 10 inches of the Vity) and fatter tyres.
Both – and this goes without saying with any modern scooter – are also incredibly easy to ride.
Simply climb on, turn the key, thumb the electric starter and the continuously variable fully automatic CVT transmission does the rest.
I think it's a shame we've seen the last two-stroke Yamaha scooter. That said, the BeeWee and Vity 125 are worthy four-stroke successors.

When the agile movement re-cast the roles of the SDLC they did so with small projects as the baseline of their experience. A typical minimal SDLC method includes subject matter experts (those who execute the current workflow activities), a Project Manager, a Business Analyst, a Software Architect, UX specialists, Developers, DBAs, and Testers. A Scrum Team consists of a Product Owner, the Development Team, and a Scrum Master. The typical SDLC method responsibilities for activities, and the skills needed to get them done, went from 8 roles down to 3. For small projects that is great, but as the industry is learning the hard way, for bigger projects it just doesn't cut it.
|The product owner role received a lot of responsibilities. This means they also are expected to have a lot of skills. By no fault of their own, this is not usually the case. Along with the lack of skills, I also usually see them floundering for the authority needed to be effective. I do not understand why there are so many people that believe changing a person's job title will somehow magically give them the skills needed to do the job.
The activities needed to build software successfully didn't change when agile was explicitly introduced to software development. Agile has implicitly always been a goal of software development projects. The activities required to successfully build software were just moved around, redefined to give them a new context, renamed, and in some cases ignored. If the team adopting Scrum is dysfunctional, they remain as dysfunctional as they were before attempting to use Scrum. Their skills and experience didn't change by moving the team to a new method of managing the project.
The product owner was usually a project manager, subject matter expert, or business analyst in their previous non-agile life. This book does a great job of covering what a product owner is, what they are expected to know, and what they are supposed to accomplish. I have listed the chapters below to give you an idea of what is covered.
Breakthrough! Being Agile — The Product Owner as a Change Agent
Improved insight - The Point for Effective Communication
--Leading through conflict — the product owner as a mediator
--Leading Change and Winning Collaboration - A Mode!
Owning the business case
Unlocking usable user stores- solving business problems
--Job Shadowing
--Brainstorming and Alternatives
Reliably working with the Team — Building Trust
Focusing on interfaces: development-Business
Understand the domain
Thinking Acceptance Criteria - When is the Project Over?
Scaling Agile — the product owner perspective
Scaling Agile — the bigger picture of life cycles
--Linear or Phased Approaches
----V Model
--Incremental Development Approach
----Staged Delivery
--Iterative Approaches
----Rationale Unified Process
--Agile Approaches
----Rapid Application Development
----Extreme Programming
Perspective of the big picture- the basics of JIT, Lean Pull, Local Optimization in a MPRCS - Agile is not alone
Free Glimpse: Secrets of powerful teams - Revealing ideas of NLP and the use of words
I really like the way the author puts Scrum into perspective. He says 'Waterfall is a methodology, the principal approach of which is linear. Agile is an approach and Scrum is a method. Comparing agile and waterfall is like comparing apples and oranges in more than one aspect.
I have said before that there are way too many books, and way too much information available on agile these days. I'll be the first to admit, that every time I see an agile book coming out the first thing I think is how could they possibly still be milking agile. I also must admit, that many of the new books coming out on agile are now reflective of experience, and not based entirely on theory. That was what you used to find in the agile library, all theory and no experience.
Architecture, lifecycle phases, documentation, and specialized skill sets for certain roles throughout the process have made their way back into the agile world on projects that are larger than a 3 to 5 person team can handle. Thank goodness any good agile book you pick up today will either include these topics as absolutely essential, or you can throw it in the garbage.
I really liked seeing the author introduce Waterfall, V Model, Staged Delivery, Spiral, Rationale Unified Process, Rapid Application Development, DSDM, and Extreme Programming.
I found the advice in this book to be dead on for helping the product owner understand their role and then helping them succeed at filling it. The book is less than 125 pages, so it is a short read, full of practical and relevant advice, with absolutely no filler.
I highly recommend this book to all those moving towards an agile approach, but especially those moving towards an agile method that includes the product owner role.
