Brand Coding a Company
- Sep. 01 2007 00:00
Thomas Schafbuch talks to David Shostak, managing director of the Gameland media company to find out what a brand code is, what it can do for a company, and what it actually means for customers and staff on the front line.
Jobs & Careers: So just what is a brand code, then, and what's it all about?
David Shostak: A brand code is a description of how a company wishes to see itself. This includes its functional and emotional values in the eyes of the customer. We based our brand on the methodology of the famous marketing and brand guru Thomas Gad. After that we chose the values of our company and separated them into four categories. These are the spiritual, mental and social dimensions and functionality. Once we defined our values, we had to make sure that they were in accordance with the world view of our company and relevant to our readers. It is very important that the brand values should not only be 'correct,' but also inspire people - both our readers and us. For us, it's not the brand in itself that is important, but how it is implemented. The difference between this company and other companies is the implantation of the brand. We really do live around it. I have worked in three or four big companies, but this is the first time in my career that I have worked in a company where the brand is genuinely all-encompassing.
J&C: What do you mean when you say that it is all-encompassing?
DS: In other places where I have worked, the brand was usually just part of a marketing strategy and the human resources department. Here all the employees are concerned with the brand. What makes your company is its brand, and that's the feeling we try to create. After all, we call our co-workers agents of the brand code.
J&C: So how do you actually implement it?
DS: There are two ways we do it. For example, when we're discussing creating a new magazine, we try to find a new niche and establish ourselves there. We always start from the brand of this company, which is to inspire, so we must always keep this idea in mind. Let's say we want to make a new ski magazine: we go from the base idea of trying to inspire when we try to create this new magazine.
J&C: But anyone setting up a new magazine is trying to grab a new audience and carve out a niche for it on the market. What do you do that makes you so different?
DS: I think the key word here is focus. For example, one of our successful magazines is called Total Football. The slogan of this magazine is 'football as a passion.' We work with the director and editor to explain to everyone all the aspects of the magazine and everything has to fit in with this idea of being passionate. For example if you look at current issues and compare them to issues before and after a brand code you can really see the difference in the style of the magazine.
J&C: Did you work on any other magazines before joining Gameland?
DS: Not really. I worked on the internet, television but never with print media.
J&C: I've seen plenty of magazines with content that could be described as passionate. Why should saying that you're passionate make you so different?
DS: Well of course we're not the only company that used brand coding. But I think the big difference is that with us the brand is everywhere - in the office, when we talk to our readers, in our marketing, in all aspects of life in our company.
J&C: So this management strategy is aimed chiefly at the media industry, then?
DS: Yes.
J&C: How big is your company?
DS: We have 200 full-time employees and 200 freelancers.
J&C: So you think this brand code could work equally well in a medium-sized company, or in a much larger company, like a national bank or television channel?
DS: Yeah, sure. Because part of our strategy is not really branding, but relates to the process of branding, meaning that our management is not run by slogans or processes but values - we strive to manage by values.
J&C: What kind of values?
DS: The values of our company are influence, care, relationships and spirituality. And when we run into big problems with the company we always fall back on these values and the belief that we have in our people at the core of them.
J&C: Of course it sounds great for management to have these values and say that the company instills all of these things in its employees. But how do you know if this policy you are implanting is effective or just yet another new management fad?
DS: Well this is not a new policy - we've have it for two years now. There are a number of ways we show that we live by these values. Take caring - it means that we expect our people to care about the problems of the company, of course, but we also care about our people's problems and about what's happening to them. This goes beyond somebody just asking if anything's the matter. If, say, an employee is having financial difficulties, then the company can provide a loan. It's not that big a deal that our company gives out loans in itself, but we have many more programs like it in place.
J&C: Such as what, and why are they special? Every company tries to look after its employees to some degree - no company would make a point of claiming that it does nothing at all.
DS: No, of course not, but we like to focus on the little things. I think brand codes are founded on little rather than on big things. For example, I came into the company and noticed that one of our editors was having problems typing. I saw to it that we bought him a special keyboard, which cost the company $70. This was not a decision to be implemented throughout the company, but only for this specific editor. So if one of our employees has a problem we try to figure out a solution for him or her. It does not matter whether it costs $70 or $700 - the main thing is that he or she is aware that the company is looking out for its employees. This is a good example of our use of a brand code.
J&C: Who was responsible for implementing this policy?
DS: The founder and CEO of the company Dmitry Agarunov was responsible for it. He made it clear to top management that introducing a brand code is top priority and he is responsible for maintaining the values of our company. We call him the brand keeper.
J&C: Why did your CEO decide to go with a brand code developed by a Swedish consulting company?
DS: The Swedish company you mean, Brandflight, was founded by Thomas Gad, who is the guru in this field. He came up with the "Connecting People" slogan for Nokia. So this is someone very well established in the marketing and management world. It was he who wrote the book on brand coding and we decided to use his style of management and branding for our company.
J&C: Do you think that implanting a Western model is problematic in a company in Russia given the cultural differences?
DS: I don't think so. We've only adopted the methodology, not the actual decision-making processes and solutions he uses. But in fact I think it's applicable all around the world and it was a Russian company that was the first to use brand coding. Thomas Gad has established a company here in Russia and continues to promote his methodology, working with many Russian companies especially in the oil industry and banking sector.
J&C: Do you think this style of management is a fad or a long-term management decision? After all, this policy has only been around for two years and the company has been around since 1992.
DS: I regard it as a long-term strategy. This management style has given us a clear understanding of what we will be doing beyond the near future. We have already built our development strategy for the next 10 years using brand management.
J&C: What's changed? Do you feel that the company was less efficient before the implementation of the brand code, for example?
DS: Clearness and focus are the main things. Now we know who we are, what we want to be and where we are going. Before the brand code we were a good company, but I feel that we are an even better company with this system.
J&C: Do you have some kind of statistics, such as sales figures, or worker efficiency, that demonstrate the positive effect that it's had?
DS: We just recently secured a big investment of around $10 million in our company. I could give you more examples, but it is not something that is best gauged through figures. For example, when we wanted to set up a new magazine it used to take us three to four months to decide how to do it, but now it happens much more quickly - it takes us exactly two months. And with this brand and values in mind we always understand what we are doing and for whom, which is why it is easier for us to undertake new projects and why we can make decisions more effectively.
J&C: How has implementing brand coding affected your turnover rate?
DS: In terms of employment, our staff numbers have become much more stable since the implementation of a brand code. For example, the turnover rate for our employees dropped significantly. Last year our turnover rate was about 2 percent - a very good indicator!
J&C: I see that your company is very informal and you treat each other almost like friends as opposed to a traditional boss-employee relationship. Do you feel like this makes the office too informal and sometimes makes it harder for employees to respect you?
DS: Why should it create an atmosphere of disrespect? After all, you respect a friend.
J&C: But working in the magazine publishing industry there is always the stress of deadlines. Do you not worry that although an employee may respect a superior as a person, he or she might not recognize their authority?
DS: I don't think we have any problems like that. We are very informal here. For example, I do not have my own office, I have a work-station in an open-plan office with the rest of the employees so they can approach me at any time. But in the end they recognize that a hierarchy does exist and that it has to be respected. When we are in the middle of deadlines and certain people do not respect this structure I can be just as strict when I'm being informal as when I'm formal.

A survey was conducted asking which female singer gave the best relationship advice. Kumi Koda ranked number 1 in the poll.
Love is a popular topic for singers to sing about, but who gives the best relationship advice? A poll done by goo/NTT DoCoMo asked this question, and received 22,949 votes. Here are the top 10 female singers who give the best relationship advice:
1. Kumi Koda - 5322 votes
2. Anna Tsuchiya - 3689 votes
3. aiko - 3344 votes
4. Kana Nishino - 1785 votes
5. JUJU - 1274 votes
6. YUKI - 1236 votes
7. Seiko Matsuda - 1042 votes
8. Ayumi Hamasaki - 1011 votes
9. Kaela Kimura - 1001 votes
10. Fuyumi Sakamoto - 690 votes
What do you think of the results?
She is cool...
Juju... 5th--'
Are we talking about in general or through her songs?
you are,,,,,,,
So true, the songs she writes, really show how much she knows about love.
Not surprised at all, you can't window shop for love~!
A surprising result!
congrats kumi!
I think this is pretty accurate! For example, if you read what comments she posted about all her songs from her recent "Dejavu" album each song concerns a different stage of a relationship, of new love and love lost! She suggests when to listen to what song depending on what the listener is feeling... It's very insightful! I agree with her topping this list!
wow, alittle unbelievable but the "love" message in her songs are good though...
WTH? This is soooooooo not true!!! >:'(
Yaaay, Kuu-chan~! ♥

We present a detailed comparison of fundamental dark matter halo properties retrieved by a substantial number of different halo finders. These codes span a wide range of techniques including friends-of-friends, spherical-overdensity and phase-space-based algorithms. We further introduce a robust (and publicly available) suite of test scenarios that allow halo finder developers to compare the performance of their codes against those presented here. This set includes mock haloes containing various levels and distributions of substructure at a range of resolutions as well as a cosmological simulation of the large-scale structure of the universe.
All the halo-finding codes tested could successfully recover the spatial location of our mock haloes. They further returned lists of particles (potentially) belonging to the object that led to coinciding values for the maximum of the circular velocity profile and the radius where it is reached. All the finders based in configuration space struggled to recover substructure that was located close to the centre of the host halo, and the radial dependence of the mass recovered varies from finder to finder. Those finders based in phase space could resolve central substructure although they found difficulties in accurately recovering its properties. Through a resolution study we found that most of the finders could not reliably recover substructure containing fewer than 30-40 particles. However, also here the phase-space finders excelled by resolving substructure down to 10-20 particles. By comparing the halo finders using a high-resolution cosmological volume, we found that they agree remarkably well on fundamental properties of astrophysical significance (e.g. mass, position, velocity and peak of the rotation curve).
We further suggest to utilize the peak of the rotation curve, vmax, as a proxy for mass, given the arbitrariness in defining a proper halo edge. Airport code for Madrid, Spain

|Washington hosts Husky Open
April 6 | Montlake Cut
Setting the Scene: Brown Comes to Seattle for Second Straight Year to Face the Huskies
The 2013 season will be in full gear as the two-time defending National Champions and No.1 ranked Huskies will host No. 2 Brown on Saturday on the Montlake Cut for the second consecutive year. Last year the Huskies swept the ivy-league rowing powerhouse. Brown is one of the elite programs in the sport, having won six National Championships since the school began competing in rowing in 1857. The Bears will race in three events against the Huskies, highlighted by a 2,000-meter sprint between the two programs' varsity eights. Like last year, the races are the feature event of the Husky Open, an all-morning regatta that features a multitude of local high school and club crews.
Live Results
The official Twitter page of the Husky Crew will also have live in-race updates: http://Twitter.com/UWHuskyCrew. A full recap and photo gallery of the Brown/Washington races will be available on GoHuskies.com.
About The UW Coaching Staff
Michael Callahan is in his sixth year at the head of the Husky men's crew program. The UW alum coached his team to a sixth consecutive Ten Eyck Championship in 2012, an unprecedented feat in collegiate rowing. In 2012, Washington completed a sweep of all the grand finale races at the IRAs to capture its second-consecutive and 15th overall National Championship. Prior to taking over the men's coaching position, Callahan served for three seasons as the Huskies freshmen coach. A 1996 graduate of the University of Washington, Callahan has also been an active member on the international level, where he's competed and coached. Assistant coach and recruiting coordinator Rick Gherst handles the coaching duties for the freshmen. Gherst is in his third season overall on the UW coaching staff, and first in his current position. In the fall he took over for former freshmen coach Luke McGee, who left to take a position with US Rowing.
Scouting Brown
Brown University is an Ivy League institution located in Providence, R.I. The Bears are coached by Paul Cooke, now in his tenth season leading the program. Cooke has plenty of Seattle ties, having started his career at Green Lake Crew. Brown opened their 2013 campaign last weekend with a pair of races against Yale and Boston University, coming out victorious against both crews. The Bears are coming off an impressive 2012 season, when the varsity squad won the Eastern Sprints and the Ivy League Championship and finished second at the Intercollegiate Rowing Association National Championship. Brown finished second in the Ten Eyck Points Trophy at the 2012 IRA National Championships.
Last Time Out
The Huskies began the season as they have for 112 seasons - with the Class Day Regatta. This time around, the seniors showed their prowess, beating out the other classes in open water. There was a fight for the runner up position, and it took a review of the finish line video to determine the grunties captured second place behind the seniors. Less than a second separated the three finishers behind the seniors.
Montlake Cut
The Huskies' home course is Montlake Cut, a 2,000-meter sprint that begins from a floating start parallel to the 520 Bridge in Lake Washington and runs east to west through the Montlake Cut and to the finish line near the mouth of Portage Bay in Lake Union.
About The Huskies
Washington is a program where superlatives are plentiful, but it's hard not to categorize the 2012 campaign as one of the, if not the best in school history. The Huskies captured their 15th National Championship, and it was the fashion in which they did so that was most impressive. 2012 was a year of sweeps for the Huskies, starting with the 101st running of the Cal Dual. The Huskies swept Cal, then went on to sweep all finale races in the Pac-12 and IRA Championships. Washington topped it off with their 6th straight Ten Eyk award, given to the team that scores the most overall points. It was as dominating of a season as collegiate rowing has seen in its long and storied history. Washington begins the 2013 season ranked number 1 overall in the first 2013 USRowing Collegiate Poll released today.
Brown/Washington Notes
Legendary Brown coach Vic Michaelson, who led the Bears to their first National Champioship, was a three-year letterwinner at Washington (1938-40).
Washington/Brown History
Brown will be trying to avenge a loss they suffered against the Huskies this very same weekend in 2012. In the past sixth years, the programs have had their battles at the IRA Championships. In 2012, Brown finished second behind the Huskies in both the men's varsity eight grand finale and for the Ten Eyk award. For the Huskies, the best moment against Brown came in the 2010 2V8 Grand Final, as the Dawgs rallied from a length down to overcome the Bears at the finish line. In 2007 the Bears dealt a similar result to the Huskies, as their freshmen surged ahead of the Huskies on the final strokes of the race.

Opera Mini generates $1.2 billion per year for mobile operators
Opera Mini (which may or may not be approved by Apple for its App Store) generates over $1.2 billion per year for mobile carriers across the globe, says Opera in its latest State of the Mobile Web Report.
In the US only, Opera Mini generates more than $146 per user, per year.
According to Opera, 50.5 million people used Opera Mini in February 2010 – a 145% increase compared to February last year.
More than 22 billion web pages were viewed with Opera Mini in February 2010, representing more than 330 million MB of data.
Unsurprisingly, in the US and Canada, Opera Mini is mostly used on BlackBerries. In other 5 countries (North America and the Caribbean region), the browser is mostly used on Sony Ericsson phones, while in other 4 countries it's mostly used on Nokia devices.

Dreck.. pure, dreck!
Well I know that's a bit harsh, but usually at events like this, tech companies bring the thunder and really get the year off started right. Microsoft, as much as I like the company, just didn't do it for me this year. Ok, I'll concede.. dreck isn't the right word maybe... "Grrr" is more like it.
Mediaroom? Really! They would only be bringing up Mediaroom if later down the road something gigantic is going to happen with that. Maybe they just wanted to plant the bug in our ear.
For those of you who wanted Zune news (all 4 of you, ha), nothing was mentioned in the keynote specifically, however when I was going through the Zune Fact Sheet I found a couple of tidbits worth mentioning. First, the Zune HD will get the abililty to create Smart DJ playlists directly on the device. If you aren't familiar with Smart DJ it's a feature on the software that allows you to take a favorite song, artist or album and create a dynamic playlist around it. Currently, you can only do this on the software and sync it to the device, but sometime Spring, according to this document, you'll be able to create them on the device as well.
Secondly, they WILL bring Facebook to Zune HD. So you all can exhale now...
I was a bit excited by Tablet PCs even though it wasn't something I was excited by before. Maybe it's because my current notebook computer is in critical condition and I'm looking to get something new this year anyway. A really solid Tablet PC would be good for me while I attend events like MVP Summit, CES, E3 and the like. So with a renewed focus on those devices, I'm quite anxious to test one out and see how much of a fit for my journalistic lifestyle it would be.
Oh and like most scripted events nowadays (Hollywood I include you too) I could see things happening in that keynote from a mile away. They seriously need to stop with the 'unplanned' planned event. This whole idea of 'Really, you want me to help you? Hmm.. ok" needs to go.We know you had to go through several rehearsals of this. We know that you had to make sure all of the timing was correct. Just present things that way. You'll look less insane when you pause and try to remember what the next line is.
I'm glad that they were able to boast about the numbers revolving around Windows 7 and XBOX 360. I'm a user of both products and I can tell you that they are very solid. I'm quite impressed that after 5 years of existence (and several red rings) Microsoft is extending the lifespan of the XBOX 360 through the software updates. I think they really struck a chord with the inclusion of Netflix. It's also nice that they used the platform to push out the Zune brand internationally, even if it was for movies and not for music. The little avatar arcade thing was an interesting concept, but how many times can we travel in the past for stuff?
Did anyone else notice that Robbie Bach said "2020" in his address? Man, that's forward thinking for you!
Overall, I expect more sizzle on the steak and I got more fizzle than sizzle. I'm hoping that in the next few months with things like the World Mobile Congress, MIX 2010 and E3 we will find out much more about what Microsoft has in store for its professional and casual customers.
I'm curious to know what you guys thought of the keynote...

Vents for Fertilizer Packaging Applications
Designed for complex liquid fertilizer formulations
The global fertilizer business is experiencing an increased demand for production of complex liquid fertilizer formulations designed to feed and promote growth in crops and plants. Liquid fertilizers are becoming popular due to their ease of handling and compatibility with other crop protection chemicals, however the active ingredients in liquid fertilizers can liberate gas and when combined with changes in altitude and temperature cause container deformation via bloating or collapsing. Bloated or distorted containers can impact consumer brand preference and indirectly affect product sales. In some cases containers could explode under pressure resulting in spills or leaks. Our unique packaging vents equalize pressure in liquid fertilizer containers without the need for increased headspace or container wall thickness, saving you money!
Common causes of off-gassing include:
- Chemical impurities
- Chemical interactions
- Decomposition
- Temperature/climate changes
- Altitude changes
Common applications that use GORE® Packaging Vents include:
- Organic fertilizers
- Foliar fertilizers
- Fertilizer supplements
- Gardening fertilizers
- Horticultural fertilizers
- Chelated products
The Alternative to Increased Head Space and Thicker Containers
Packaging designers often increase the head space or build thicker or reinforced wall containers as a means to control or to reduce the chances of container distortion. These changes in design can prove to be quite costly when considering the increase in material costs. In addition these changes do not guarantee that the container will maintain their shape. Designed to handle a range of compound liquid fertilizer formulations, GORE® Packaging Vents eliminate the need to increase head space and container wall thickness.

I need help in this scenario. We have one SQl server, I need to maintain two databases of this server in another physically far location. Just the exact copy not like failover. Just the same data so that if some thing happens on one, other should also be up but not like automatic failover or anything. Just to sync databases that whatever happened in primary should be synced with other. I am very confused that what should I use, replication, mirroring, log shipping.
Can anyone advice?
Thanks for help!

Prognostics: knowing when systems will fail
A new collaborative project is being set up by NPL to carry out research into possible indicators of remaining useful life in electronic components.
'Prognostics' involves monitoring the health of a device and estimating its remaining useful life. Knowing when an electronic assembly is going to fail can give a company a competitive edge, as it allows for longer periods of time between scheduled maintenance and an associated reduction in costs. By replacing components before they fail, equipment downtime can also be minimised. This makes prognostics especially relevant for the aerospace and energy sectors.
There are several different approaches to prognostics. Environmental factors such as temperature and humidity, or external parameters such as the signal noise in the power line, can be monitored to give an indication of how long a component has left before it will fail. The research in this new project will look at electronic interconnects, measuring electrical impedance, noise and linearity, and identifying suitable indicators for predicting remaining useful life.
The project will also look at so-called 'canary components', which are designed to fail earlier than any other electronic component to warn of the impending failure of a device - much in the way that canaries were once used in coal mines as a first indicator of dangerously low oxygen levels.
Industrial partners are encouraged to get involved in the overall decision making of the project and to help decide on what components and conditions to include in the research.

Occupational Health and Safety in New Zealand: NOHSAC: Technical Report 7
Previous Section | Table of Contents | Next Section
3.7 The education and information framework
Section 3.7 focuses on four areas of New Zealand's health and safety education framework:
- Degree and diploma-level qualifications
- National certificates and supporting unit standards designed to provide employers and employees with relevant knowledge about health and safety in the context of their workplaces
- Specific practical training in health and safety issues
- Health and safety representatives training.
3.7.1 A brief outline of New Zealand's qualification framework
Qualifications in New Zealand are based on the achievement of certain standards. Masters' degrees, degrees and diplomas are based on assessments undertaken to standards agreed upon by universities and the New Zealand Qualifications Authority (NZQA). National certificates are based on the achievement of unit standards. Recognised qualifications are entered onto the NZQA' New Zealand Register of Quality Assured Qualifications. Finally, some health and safety representative training is available and is NZQA unit standard-approved.
Additional tertiary-level training that does not sit within the NZQA Framework is available from private providers but given the wide scope for this training, discussion of this is not included in the present report.
3.7.2 Qualifications in health and safety: degrees and diplomas
The degrees and diplomas available are:
- Master of Health Sciences (endorsed with occupational health)
- Master in Science (endorsed with ergonomics)
- Master of Nursing (endorsed with occupational health)
- Masters of Public Health (endorsed with occupational health)
- Bachelor of Medicine Science and Bachelor of Surgery (a number of papers in this qualification have an occupational health component)
- Post-graduate Diploma in Health Sciences (endorsed with occupational health)
- Post-graduate Diploma in Public Health
- Post-graduate Diploma in Science (endorsed with ergonomics)
- Diploma of Occupational Safety and Health
- Diploma of Industrial Health
- Post-graduate Certificate in Health Sciences.
A number of individual papers are available, including papers that focus on rehabilitation, occupational therapy, chemical safety and musculoskeletal injury. These papers may be included in a number of the qualifications listed above or may be undertaken as part of another course (such as post-graduate or under-graduate medical or science degrees). These are not listed in this section due to the more peripheral relationship that these can have with workplace health and safety.
Three of New Zealand's eight universities offer a combination of the qualifications listed above: the University of Auckland, Massey University and the University of Otago.
3.7.3 Qualifications in health and safety: National Certificates and unit standards
There are currently four national certificate qualifications regarding workplace health and safety:
- National Certificate in Construction Health and Safety
- National Certificate in Occupational Health and Safety (Co-ordination level 4)
- National Certificate in Occupational Health and Safety (Workplace Safety level 1)
- National Certificate in Occupational Health and Safety (Workplace Safety level 4).
National certificates are supported by approximately 130 unit standards developed by industry training organisations (ITOs) and/or the NZQA. These cover levels one to seven and provide training in industry-specific health and safety practices across a broad range of industries.
18.104.22.168 Service delivery
ITOs represent different industry sectors and are charged with developing and maintaining national unit standards and qualifications relating to the work undertaken in the sector represented by the ITO. The ITOs also facilitate both on- and off-the-job training in the ITO-developed material and in other courses as appropriate.
A number of other providers deliver national certificate qualifications and offer unit standards in health and safety. This includes polytechnics, institutes of technology and private training establishments.
There are few purpose-built education facilities offering health and safety education in New Zealand; however, one such centre is available in Taranaki.
3.7.4 Practical training opportunities: the ODC
The ODC is the Department of Labour's in-house training centre for the health and safety inspectorate. It offers short courses in case law, investigations, prosecutions, relationship management, and refresher courses related to both the HSE and HSNO Acts. It is also the preferred provider for training in the enforcement of the HSE Act for staff working for other agencies (eg, Maritime New Zealand, the CAA, the CVIU and some territorial authorities). The ODC has plans to develop current offered courses into unit standards and a formal qualification in public sector compliance management.
The ODC is funded by the Department of Labour although other external agencies pay for their employees to attend courses run by the centre.
3.7.5 Health and safety representatives training
Section 19E of the HSE Act provides for the training of health and safety representatives elected under the Act. The Act requires that employers allow health and safety representatives two days' paid leave per annum to attend approved health and safety training courses. Section 19G enables the Minister of Labour to approve such courses.
18.104.22.168 Approved courses and the number of trained health and safety representatives
Currently, there are 12 approved health and safety training courses offered by a number of providers.[l] These courses cover a similar range of topics, including the HSE Act, hazard management, incident investigation and communications. Information received from training providers indicates that approximately 20,000 people have received health and safety representative training (for employees). Employees/self-employed people also participate in Business New Zealand's training course on the HSE Act. Site Safe operates a specific training course tailored to the construction industry, which has trained 330 people since 2003.
The majority of health and safety representatives are trained in a small number of courses (eg, the courses offered by the CTU, Business New Zealand and Site Safe). Most of the approved private providers only train a small number of representatives. The reasons for this are varied and include workforce issues (such as needing to appoint training staff) and the commercial realities for small private providers who do not receive funding from the Employment Relations Education Contestable Fund (the ERE Fund).
184.108.40.206 Funding: the ERE Fund
The ERE Fund allocates approximately $2 million per annum to assist in the delivery of health and safety representative training programmes and training in the Employment Relations Act. Unions, employers, employer organisations and Education Act-recognised providers can apply for this funding, which is allocated by the Employment Relations Advisory Committee using standardised criteria and approved by the Minister of Labour. In 2004/05, the majority of the ERE Fund was allocated to unions and union organisers (65 percent). A further 26 percent was allocated to Business New Zealand. The remainder was allocated to private providers.[li] It is not clear how much of this funding was allocated to fund health and safety representative training and how much was allocated for Employment Relations Act training.
Further funding of $1.6 million (2006/07) is provided by ACC for health and safety representative training for at least 9,000 employees and 2,000 employers and self-employed people.
188.8.131.52 Evaluations of approved courses
Evaluations were not available for any of the approved health and safety representative training programmes.
3.7.6 Comments made by stakeholders about the education framework
188.8.131.52 Diplomas, degrees and national certificates
Stakeholders raised a number of concerns about the availability and quality of education and training:
- There are few available courses that bridge between longer qualification-based courses and short courses designed to upgrade a participant's knowledge of health and safety issues.[lii]
- There is limited standardisation between courses available in the private sector, and quality among available courses can vary (with the implication that the quality of available training is not always clear to purchasers).[liii]
- There are significant gaps in the training and funding available for occupational medicine specialties.[liv]
- There are limited training opportunities for occupational hygienists,[lv] technical members of the Department of Labour's Professional and Specialist Services Group,[lvi] and designers and architects.[lvii]
- Information included in some qualifications is outdated (for example, the Diploma of Occupational Safety and Health requires participants to calculate the pressure inside a boiler).[lviii]
184.108.40.206 Health and safety representative training
Course providers noted that participants from a range of industries participate in the available health and safety representative training, although the CTU suggested that the uptake of health and safety representative training is not consistent across industries and that uptake is particularly slow in the transport, construction and on-hire sectors. Two private providers expressed considerable dissatisfaction in the allocation of the ERE Fund.
184.108.40.206 Training of approved handlers
The training of approved handlers and HSNO enforcement officers was raised as an implementation issue associated with the HSNO Act.[lix]
3.7.7 Comments and conclusions
New Zealand's education framework contains a range of opportunities for education and training in various areas of occupational health and safety: provision is made for specialised post-graduate training and short courses outlining the basics of occupational health and safety in the New Zealand context.
126.96.36.199 Gaps in education and training
Some stakeholders were concerned that there is an absence of courses that bridge between full qualifications and short courses. No specific examples of possible courses that would bridge this gap were provided. It is unclear what is intended by these comments as there are a range of NZQA unit standards that can bridge between the longer courses and short courses and that can then make up a qualification.
Occupational health and some other health and safety professions require additional consideration. Gorman[22] notes that there are gaps in training for occupational physicians in terms of providing supervision of work during the training phase. This issue was also touched on by stakeholders who raised concern about the content of current medical training and the opportunities for support while studying. New Zealand is a small country and can only support training and education in topics for which demand is sufficient to make it cost-effective to develop and run courses. A pragmatic approach to the concerns regarding gaps in education is required. In some cases, while being undesirable for personal reasons, it is likely to be more cost-effective for people to complete training off-shore and then return to New Zealand, or for New Zealand to import this expertise.
In saying this, there are some gaps in training for some professionals: there are no New Zealand-based training opportunities for occupational hygiene, and general practitioners receive minimal training in occupational health. Improving the amount of information about occupational health and safety in Bachelor of Medicine courses is likely to have the greatest impact, as this group comprises one of the most common groups of health professionals in New Zealand and is likely to be the group that comes into contact with the greatest number of occupational disease and injury cases. For occupational hygiene, it may be more efficient for people to seek training outside of New Zealand.
126.96.36.199 Health and safety representative training
Anecdotal evidence from one of the largest providers of health and safety representative training suggests that there is an uneven uptake of health and safety training across the different sectors. At this stage, this is only anecdotal; however, robust research into this area is likely to provide useful information to the Department of Labour about which sectors are participating less in their health and safety representative obligations and the reasons for this lack of participation. Such research could then provide a foundation for developing tools to improve engagement.
184.108.40.206 Quality of health and safety qualifications and training: private providers
Education in New Zealand is quality assured through a range of mechanisms including the use of NZQA-approved unit standards, approval of course content through an independent third party (such as the approved health and safety representative training), or through provider registration under the Education Act. However, there are no facilities to otherwise standardise training in health and safety, particularly the training offered by private training institutions. It is likely that there are variations in the quality of training offered by private providers, although this could not be verified given the limited availability of evaluations for health and safety courses and the resourcing constraints associated with reviewing all courses on offer. This issue is discussed further in section 3.10.
The promotion of NZQA unit standards as benchmarks for quality health and safety education is a key tool that could help to ensure that quality training opportunities are available across all components of the education spectrum.

I've got a huge digital video library and a ton of devices I use to watch content. I want to be able to stream content from my library to my devices, and generally the easiest mechanism I've found is good ol' HTTP.
For the moment I've got IIS pointed at my media folder with directory browsing. This works but it has some drawbacks:
- Sucks on mobile browsers because the text is too small
- Includes a ton of extra files
- No way to password protect some, uh... content, that my kids shouldn't be seeing
Ideally what I want is something that is visually appealing, like http://www.mediabrowser.tv/ with images and metadata, but is served over HTTP and looks good on a variety of browsers.
I'm not wedded to IIS, but I am sticking with Windows on the server.

I really love Google Chrome - and more so now, a group of students from MIT Media Lab Fluid Interfaces Group have turned the Kinect motion controller into a tool for browsing the internet.
They have written an extension for Chrome called DepthJS - which allows you to use the internet with gestures. Interestingly, making a fist is used for selecting while a swatting motion is used for scrolling.
There was also a video showing a Munich-based company called Evoluce - they show off Windows 7 applications being controlled through Kinect - pretty amazing results this early on in the game.

CS 287. Advanced Robotics
Over the past ten years advances in optimization, in probabilistic reasoning, and in machine learning have had a large impact in robotics, with many of the current state-of-the-art algorithms heavily relying on these tools. At the same time these three tools have wide applicability in many other fields. The current curriculum of CS287 is centered around these three tools---making it both a treatment of these tools (in the context of a specific application domain, namely robotics), as well as a treatment of the state of the art in (algorithmic) robotics. Problem sets are a mix of mathematical/algorithmic questions and programming problems. There is a substantial final project.
NOTE: This course is about algorithms for robotics, and does *not* cover hardware aspects.
PREREQS: Familiarity with mathematical proofs, probability, algorithms, linear algebra; ability to implement algorithmic ideas in code.
EE125: is not a pre-req for CS287. EE125 covers a different aspect of robotics.

Beckie, Hinkle Named to MAC Hermann Trophy Watch List
Janine Beckie was named to the MAC Hermann Trophy Watch List for the second-consecutive season on Wednesday. She was joined on the watch list by teammate Jaelene Hinkle as Tech was one of just six programs nationally represented by two or more players.
Aug. 6, 2014
Tech was one of just six programs nationally with multiple players on the watch list that totaled 35 women's players overall, three of which that came from the Big 12 Conference.
"This is a tremendous honor for both Janine and Jaelene," Tech head coach Tom Stone said. "I was very pleased to see the soccer coaches from around the country recognize both of them at the national level. We were the only Big 12 team and one of just six in the country to have two or more players on the watch list and I think that speaks volumes about the impact these two have had the past few seasons."
This is the second-straight season where Beckie has found her name on the preseason Hermann watch list. The Highlands Ranch, Colorado native, who is currently playing with Canada in the FIFA U-20 World Cup, had led the Red Raiders in goals each of the past two seasons, scoring 14 as a freshman in 2012 and 12 last year.
Hinkle, meanwhile, is on the watch list for the first time in her career after earning NSCAA third team All-America honors in 2013. One of the top defenders in program history, Hinkle was part of a Tech defense that ranked second nationally last season in shutout percentage and third for goals-against average.
The Denver, Colorado native was also instrumental in setting up Tech's scoring opportunities as well with a team-high six assists. She enters her senior season already ranked among the top-five players in school history for career assists.
This is the second preseason accolade already for Hinkle, who was named to the TopDrawerSoccer.com Best XI first team on Tuesday morning. She was one of just three defenders nationally on the first team.
The Hermann watch list will the trimmed to the top 15 players near the end of the regular season with three of those being named finalists for the award a few weeks later. The 2014 MAC Hermann Trophy will be presented Jan. 9 at the Missouri Athletic Club in St. Louis.
The watch list was compiled by the NSCAA Women's NCAA Division I All-America Committee, based on its analysis of returning All-America and All-Region players as well as any prominent newcomers.

A dozen members of a northeast Atlanta church are recovering from carbon monoxide poisoning after they fell ill during services Sunday.
Atlanta fire department spokesman Bobby Stewart said a defective heating pipe at the New Supreme Church of God in Christ was sending the potentially deadly fumes into the church. The church called 911 after a few members became ill, a number that grew to 12 before emergency officials arrived a few minutes later.
Stewart said the sickened churchgoers were taken to area hospitals.
Fire officials say the victims' conditions were not life-threatening.
Church officials could not immediately be reached for comment. The church's listed phone number has been disconnected.

Horror movies have become so formulaic that it's always refreshing when a movie bucks the narrative trend and tries for something bizarre, either in pacing, storyline, visuals or all of the above. Recently, I reviewed the hallucinatory, nightmarish 'A Field In England', and it inspired me to comprise a list of the oddest horror films ever made.
I'm covering films both foreign and domestic, some of which are brilliantly strange, and others which are so amateurish and crudely made that they exhibit a train-wreck quality from which you can't look away from. So without further ado, here's the ten strangest horror films you're ever likely to see. It's going to get weird...very very weird.
10. 'Pieces' (1982)
We reviewed this 80s oddity a few months back, but to put it succinctly; what does an erotic puzzle, murdered co-eds, a kung-fu professor, an unlikely lothario, a creepy groundskeeper, and an inept police force have in common?
That's a hard question to ask, because the pieces in 'Pieces' never quite add up as a cohesive whole, but it's this feverish mix-and-match approach that makes it such a fun film to watch.
9. 'A Field In England' (2013)
I recently reviewed the Blu-ray release of 'A Field In England', and was struck by it's trippy imagery and abandonment of traditional narrative. Suffice to say, that when weary stragglers from the English Civil War ingests hallucinogenic mushrooms and then cross paths with an evil sorcerer, things get very strange and visually unsettling.
8. 'Meshes Of The Afternoon' (1943)
This surreal short film has definite horror elements with an ominous mirror-faced Grim Reaper-esque figure that pursues a woman through a dream world where continuity is loose, languid and haunting.
7. 'Videodrome' (1983)
Director David Cronenberg has a made a storied career out of deliberately strange films, but 'Videodrome' remains the oddest of the bunch.
James Woods stars as a TV station CEO who becomes psychologically warped after viewing disturbing transmissions of a show that depicts torture and murder all while stimulating sexual arousal.
This leads into several queasy hallucinatory sequences that remain etched in your memory long after the film has concluded.
6. 'Blue Sunshine' (1978)
'Blue Sunshine documents the dark side of flower-power, when a group of former hippies become murderous, bald psychopaths after experiencing violent flashbacks from LSD they took in college.
There are so many strange elements in the film that it's hard to fully describe; it has a unlikeable, awkward protagonist, a jittery narrative, and TV movie production, but something about this awkward stew makes something truly original and quite eerie, even if there are moments of unintentional hilarity.
5. 'Tetsuo: The Iron Man' (1989)
This cyberpunk cult-classic straddles the line between sci-fi and horror, with a nightmarish tale of a couple who are infected with a bizarre virus that turns them into murderous, sadistic cyborgs. It is a unique and nerve-rattling experience.
4. 'X-tro' (1983)
A fever dream of sci-fi gore-fest horror, 'X-tro' is a disjointed mess, but a mesmerizing one.
Any movie that involved the birth of a fully grown man, a killer toy, and a stuffed clown that turns into a menacing human greasepaint nightmare is enough to get your attention.
The explanation of an alien menace that ties the threads altogether, still falls short, leaving it a fragmented freak-show for the eyes. But as reviewer Jack Sommersby attests' 'X-tro' remains"A creative and grotesque sci-fi must-see!"
3. 'Phantasm' (1979)
We recently reported that a fifth film in the 'Phantasm' series is forthcoming, but no sequel has ever matched the bonkers go-for-broke goofy insanity of the 1979 original.
A group of friends believe a local mortician (known as 'The Tall Man') is responsible for several mysterious deaths in their small tranquil Californian town.
But their suspicion can't match the full explanation, which includes flying metal killer spheres, an alien planet, miniature minions and a killer bug. It's lunacy of the most enjoyable kind.
2. 'Eraserhead' (1977)
Surrealist filmmaker David Lynch made a big impact with his first feature length film. The tale of a man frightened of marriage and fatherhood is compounded by the fact that their offspring is inhuman, that the world is controlled by mysterious forces and that there is no ultimate resolution.
'Eraserhead' is less concerned with conventional narrative that it is in a series of disturbing, dream-like imagery that is as horrifying as it is compelling.
1. 'Hausu' (1977)
This Japanese horror film is one of the most beautiful yet confounding pieces of cinema ever made.
A girl named Gorgeous and her schoolgirl friends go to visit her aunt for summer vacation. But they are in over their heads in her haunted home, as the house tries to kill them all.
Malicious mattresses, carnivorous pianos, and other household items hold ominous intent, but the film still manages and light, and oddly humorous touch.
'Hausu' is truly a film that defies description, and if you're a lover of the odd and unusual and haven't checked it out, it's essential.
So that's our list of the ten weirdest horror movies of all time. Do you agree? What else would you add to the mix? Tell us in the comments.
Glaring omission: 'The Wicker Man' (1973)
We just realized shortly after posting this list that we left off one of the craziest horror movies ever. The original 'Wicker Man' is part musical, part Christian allegory, part English folk tale, and part erotica.
There's never been another movie like it for straddling so many genres, and twisting them altogether into new and bewildering shapes.
While the remake is remarkable in just how awful it is, the original is a unforgettable cult classic oddity.

Who is Watching the Weather?During seasons of inclement weather, the superintendent and the administrative staff carefully monitor icy, wintry, or other weather that may create hazardous driving conditions. The administrative staff listens to weather forecasts, monitors conditions as reported by the Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT), and receives local road condition reports from the Rockdale County Sheriff's Department.
The director of transportation monitors and tests road conditions on bus routes as early as 4:30 a.m. Members of the administrative staff also consult with neighboring school systems to determine road conditions that may exist on roads that border other counties.
How is the Decision Publicized?Rockdale County closings will be announced as soon as possible on the metropolitan broadcast media. Announcements concerning closing information will also be broadcast through our telephone messaging system and posted on the main page of the system website.
Please note that we will not report that schools are open. On a scheduled school day, it should be understood that schools are open unless a closing notice has been announced on the local media and the school system website.
What Factors are Considered When Closing School?Even if it looks clear on your street, dangerous conditions may exist in some other parts of the district. The school district takes all the following factors into consideration when deciding if it will be safe for children to attend school:
Who Makes the Final Decision?The superintendent is responsible for making the final decision, based on the above factors and recommendations from the administrative staff.
When is the Decision Made?Every effort is made to make the final decision by 6:00 a.m. so that the broadcast media can be promptly notified. The decision will also be posted on the system website as soon as feasibly possible.
What if School Opening is Simply Delayed?If school opening is delayed, please follow the same routine/schedule as normal, but push back the school start time by the announced delayed time.
What if School Must Be Closed During the Day?If conditions exist that cause the administration to feel that closing school earlier than normal dismissal times is necessary, all students will be sent home in the usual manner (e.g., bus, day-care vans, personal pick-up, etc.) unless other directions are on file with the teacher. It is impossible for the school staff to accept phoned-in directions during the emergency closings.
Parents should plan ahead for the possibility of early school closings and have written directions on file with the school (e.g., change of person that will be handling personal pick-ups). Make sure that your child knows whom to go with, where to go, how to get there, and what to do upon arrival.
The public will be notified by the same channels listed above.
Closing Announcement FormatsRockdale County Schools ClosedIf this is the only statement, NO employees or students are to report to schools or work.
Rockdale County Schools Closed | All Employees ReportThis message includes all personnel, EXCEPT lunchroom personnel and school bus drivers.
Rockdale County Schools Closed | All 12-Month Employees ReportAll 12-month employees are expected to report for work. A specific time to report may accompany this announcement.
Employees: Please Note ~ Refer to Board Policy AFC-R to review guidelines concerning reporting attendance on days that warrant closing of schools.

The cardiovascular elective is a 3-4 week clerkship on one of the four cardiovascular services at Mayo Clinic Hospital, Saint Marys Campus. All of the services include a mixture of cardiac and vascular patients. Mayo Medical School students may elect to split their 4 weeks into 2 weeks each of hospital service and coronary intensive care unit.
The primary goal of this elective is to develop proficiency in the diagnostic evaluation and management of patients with cardiovascular disorders. Students will have the opportunity to:
Students work as an integral part of a team consisting of one consultant and three or four medical residents. Students attend rounds each morning and are expected to work up at least one new patient each day. These patients are presented to the supervising resident and the consultant. Students, with assistance from the team, are expected to supervise the evaluation and treatment of these patients. They are urged to take in-house call with their supervising resident; however, this is not mandatory.
There are formal teaching conferences every day, in addition to bedside teaching conducted by the supervising consultant. Students do not perform specific procedures, but they are encouraged to accompany their patients to the laboratories when special studies are being performed.
Residents and consultants who work with students prepare formal grading sheets, narrative comments and a final evaluation summary. This information is shared with students before their departure.

Sept. 7, 2009
This turn of events makes me think of the late Paul Brechler, Iowa's athletic director in the 1950s when the Hawkeyes were among the nation's best in both football and basketball. The football team won two Big Ten titles and were crowned national champion by the Football Writers in 1958. The basketball team also had two Big Ten titles, plus two Final Four berths, finishing second in the nation in 1956.
There was considerable pressure during those years to add Iowa State to the schedules, especially in football, but Brechler would have none of it. In fact, he wouldn't talk about it, other than say, "We have nothing to gain by playing Iowa State."
For only the second time (the first was in 1995) Iowa will play UNI and Iowa State back to back. On consecutive Saturdays the Hawkeyes will play two in-state opponents. I wonder what Paul Brechler would think of that.
Twenty years later Brechler was gone, Bump Elliott was in the AD's chair, and Iowa began competing with the Cylcones in basketball and wrestling, but not football. By the mid-1970s, however, political pressure grew and a four-year series of football games was contracted with Iowa State.
The first game was played in 1977 with Iowa winning 12-10. The score was close but the game did not have much excitement, nor did it have fist fights and brawls in the stands, which was the reason Iowa ended the rivalry in 1934.
The two teams have met every year since 1977 and, barring the unexpected, will meet every year into future. The first four games were played at Kinnick Stadium, but when Iowa State built a new stadium in the early `80s the series has been home-and-home.
As Northern Iowa grew from a Normal School to a Teachers College to a State College to the third University in our state, its football program also rose in stature. UNI has played in Kinnick Stadium four times, but never posed much of a threat to the Hawkeyes until last Saturday, when the Panthers came very close to pulling off what might have gone down as the biggest upset of the year in college football.
And it was no fluke. For 59 minutes and 53 seconds UNI outplayed Iowa. Both coaches agreed to that.
Iowa Coach Kirk Ferentz said, "They were the better team, quite frankly, for most of the game . . . until those last few seconds."
UNI Coach Mark Farley said, "We should have won that game, hands down."
Instead, the Hawkeyes won it with their hands up, resulting in two blocked field goals, and will go to Iowa State 1-0 instead of a team with a less-than-inspiring 0-1 record.
What should we make of the 17-16 outcome? Were the Hawkeyes fat-headed and flat? Or are they simply not as good as their No. 21 ranking? Or are we underestimating UNI, which has enjoyed great success in Division 1-AA (now the FCS) over the years?
Hayden Fry, who viewed the contest from the press box, calls this kind of game a "gut check" that can be beneficial. He also says that good teams find a way to win when they are having a bad day.
It was not surprising that UNI scored 16 points. The Panthers have a veteran offense that averaged 29 points in winning 12 games last year. Iowa's defense played reasonably well. The disappointment was an Iowa offense that barely gained 100 yards and did not score a touchdown in the first half. Fortunately it came to life after intermission with 225 yards and two touchdowns (a third was nullified by a holding penalty).
Coach Ferentz says there is a lot to sharpen up in the Hawkeyes' attack before heading for Ames, where Iowa has lost four of the last five games. The Cyclones have a new coach, a new offense and a new attitude. They are confident after winning their first game. This will be a very tough road game for the Hawkeyes.
For only the second time (the first was in 1995) Iowa will play UNI and Iowa State back to back. On consecutive Saturdays the Hawkeyes will play two in-state opponents. I wonder what Paul Brechler would think of that.
