Today, every business must execute like a fast moving, innovative software company to survive. The development of innovative software begins with data, including advanced analytics and machine learning of the data. For the new generation killer applications of today, data is in Hadoop®. Apache™ Hadoop® has drastically changed the economics and capabilities for capturing and storing today's unrelenting data growth. But, to go beyond just storing data to truly unlocking the power of Hadoop for business insights and predictive analytics, you need SQL. The advanced capabilities of Hadoop Native SQL provided by Pivotal HDB helps companies to unleash the power of Hadoop and drive significant business change.
Pivotal HDB – Hadoop Native SQL Analytics
Evolved from over a decade's worth of R&D from Pivotal Greenplum™ (Pivotal's flagship analytical data warehouse) and open source PostgreSQL, Pivotal HDB is an advanced SQL query engine that produces exceptional MPP-based analytics performance. Pivotal HDB also features robust ANSI SQL compliance and integrated MADlib machine learning.
Pivotal HDB operates natively in Hadoop, which simplifies overall system management of cluster resources. Pivotal HDB's robust SQL compliance, powerful cost-based query optimization capabilities and support for advanced analytics enable companies to implement high-performance analytics solutions, on small to enormous data sets, much more rapidly than tradition Hadoop SQL tools. In addition, Pivotal is committed to delivering strong operationalization capabilities such as out-of-the-box support for Hortonworks Hadoop distribution, complete configuration and management using Apache Ambari and support for a multitude of deployment models. Companies can focus on solving business problems and shortening innovation cycles.
Core Features
When Hadoop advanced data analytics is important and integral for business solutions, application development or corporate digital transformation, consider these Pivotal HDP advantages:
- Superior performance compared to current open source SQL on Hadoop analytic tools
- Massive MPP scalability to petabytes
- Near real-time latency
- Fast performance for complex and advanced data analytics
- ANSI SQL-92, SQL-99, and SQL-2003, plus OLAP extensions
- Business-critical class analytics on Hadoop
- No compatibility risks to SQL developers or SQL BI tools and applications
- Support query roll-ups, dynamic partitions and joins
- Advanced machine learning for big data
- Local, direct in database operation
- Open source, Postgres-based
- Highly scalable MPP processing
- On premise or in clouds
- Open access to HAWQ analytics data via Apache Parquet
- Additional flexibility via HAWQ PxF services to HBase or Avro data files
Built On A Strong Foundation
Pivotal HDB is designed with a strong foundation of efficient data movement, concurrency control, advanced analytics and enterprise-grade robustness to deliver petabyte scale enterprise-grade Hadoop Native SQL operation. It executes directly inside the Apache Hadoop cluster and processes HDFS data in-place on the cluster.
Dynamic pipelining: Pivotal HDB employs dynamic pipelining to minimize the data transport overhead in performing SQL joins on Hadoop, making HDFS-based data suitable for interactive queries. This enables fast off-loading of Enterprise Data Warehouse (EDW) workloads at a significantly lower cost to the enterprise.
Concurrent queries: Pivotal HDB uses prioritized resource queues to deliver significantly higher queries per second consisting of mixed workloads compared to other Hadoop SQL engines. This enables Pivotal HDB to be used as general purpose analytical engine across large teams of analysts and developers.
Analytics and machine learning: Pivotal HDB has the most advanced machine learning support among Hadoop SQL engines in the industry. Pivotal HDB provides these capabilities through MADlib, an open source library for scalable in-database analytics extending the SQL capabilities on Hadoop through user-defined functions. This enables normal analytics workloads to embed advanced machine learning to implement powerful, large-scale analytical use cases.
Enterprise-grade robustness: Pivotal HDB is the first Hadoop Native SQL engine to support transactions. Transactions allow users to isolate concurrent activity on Hadoop and to rollback modifications when a fault occurs. Pivotal HDB's fault tolerance and high- availability features tolerate disk-level and node-level failures, ensuring business continuity and enabling business-critical analytics to be offloaded to Pivotal HDB.
Robust and Reliable SQL Coverage
Tap into a large ecosystem of data analysis and data visualization tools such as SAS, Tableau and more. Analytic applications written over Pivotal HDB are easily portable to other SQL-compliant data engines and vice-versa. Leverage existing SQL skills to ramp up and execute quickly in Hadoop. Pivotal HDB quickly completes all 99 queries of the Transaction Processing Council TPC-DS benchmark suite.
Powerful Cost-based Query Optimizer
Pivotal HDB Query Optimizer has been proven to execute the most demanding of queries involving more than fifty joins, making it the industry's best data discovery and query engine for native Hadoop analytics.
Cost-based query optimization: Pivotal HDB calculates and produces execution plans that optimally use the Hadoop cluster's resources, irrespective of the complexity of the query or the size of the data. This enables enterprises to use Pivotal HDB for offloading traditional EDW workloads at more economical Hadoop costs.
Robust query plan optimization: The query optimizer applies all possible optimizations at the same time and considers a large set of plan alternatives in parallel. This enables robust optimization across a wide range of queries and mixed workloads and delivers ad-hoc query optimization without relying on pre-computed projections.
Complex Data Management: Pivotal HDB implements partitioned tables and partition pruning to provide rapid query execution. This enables Pivotal HDB to deliver truly interactive queries on big data workloads.
Unparalleled Accessibility to External Data
Pivotal HDB provides multiple accessibility features such as data federation, massive parallel loading and unloading, support for standard northbound ODBC and JDBC interfaces for analytics, and more.
Pivotal eXtension Framework (PXF): Pivotal HDB provides data federation using Pivotal eXtension Framework (PXF). PXF can federate data across other ADWs, EDWs, HDFS, Hbase and Hive instances while leveraging the parallelism inherent in native Hadoop SQL. PXF can extend the data federation framework to new types of data sources. Enterprises can transition to big data technologies without the burden of large data migration projects or the inefficiencies of large data movement during query execution.
Parallel loading and unloading: Pivotal HDB supports fast parallel load/unload of mas- sive data volumes at scale (without the bottleneck of a master node) and makes the data immediately available for analysis. A diverse set of data sources and sinks are supported including file systems, ETL products and Hadoop. This minimizes the time and costs of data wrangling and blending and shortens the time to insights.
Multitude of Big Data Compliant Storage Options
The storage framework in Pivotal HDB is designed to minimize data movement and ETL data processing, provide multiple storage options to handle diverse analytical workloads and support standard file formats that make Pivotal HDB native to the Hadoop ecosystem.
Polymorphic storage: Pivotal HDB supports a native row based format as well as the columnar storage format, Parquet. Columnar stores are good for analyzing specific data attributes in large volumes of historical data, whereas row stores are good for exploring all the data attributes from recent past. Choice of storage format, combined with partitioning, enable granular control and efficient information lifecycle management.
Diverse file formats: Pivotal HDB supports Avro, Parquet and native HDFS file formats in Hadoop. This minimizes the need for ETL during data ingest and enables schema-on-read type processing. Reduced need for ETL and data movement simplifies the overall effort to analyze data and contributes to lower cost of ownership of the analytics solution.
Operationalization Capabilities
In extracting the maximum business value from Pivotal HDB, the operationalization capabilities are just as important as the core feature set.
Expanded Hadoop Distribution Support
Along with Pivotal's Hadoop distribution, Pivotal HD, Pivotal HDB integrates out-of-the-box with Hortonworks HDP. With future releases, Pivotal HDB will integrate with the ODPi core.
Native Hadoop Management Using Apache Ambari
Pivotal HDB plugs in with the Apache Ambari installation, management and configuration framework. This provides a Hadoop-native mechanism for installation and deployment of Pivotal HDB and for monitoring cluster resources across Pivotal HDB and the rest of the Hadoop ecosystem.
Packaging and Deployment
Pivotal HDB is included in Pivotal Big Data Suite as part of the subscription-based flex-license. Pivotal HDB supports a multitude of deployment models including commodity hardware, virtualized IaaS, EMC Data Computing Appliance (DCA) and EMC Elastic Cloud Storage (ECS) with an option of using EMC Isilon as the HDFS filesystem.
Pivotal HDB is the world's most advanced SQL on Hadoop engine and addresses all the business requirements for enterprises to rapidly build and deploy enterprise-grade SQL- based analytic applications and off-load EDW workloads into Hadoop. Pivotal HDB is also an integral part of the native Hadoop ecosystem with out-of-the-box support for Apache Ambari for management and native Hadoop file formats. In summary, Pivotal HDB is a key enabler in transforming companies into data-driven enterprises.

Ripoff Report
mycomputercareer.com3200 Corporate Exchange Dr Columbus, Ohio USA
Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
mycomputercareer.com: The only hands-on you get is when you sign the contract Columbus Ohio
Why did I use the username, "A Better Life"? Because that is the key my computercareer.com uses for the wireless access to their network. A network that has a hard time to handle all the network traffic and sometimes it crashes due to a broadcast storm. To avoid an unreliable network, now they use wired access while real institution would fix the problem and let students have more flexibility which is the reason, we like wireless access. Just keep in mind that these people will be teaching you. This is problem number 1.
Let's move to other problems with mycomputercareer.com. I graduated from this institution a while ago. I can tell you that some students will not receive one certification because they have not the ability to pass any of them. I have seen many students to just receive CompTIA A+, Network+, and the not counting MTAs and some walk off without any certs. The MTA are fairly easy exams, when students do their measure up exams, they will pass MTAs. However, I have not met any students, while I was there, to pass MCTS and MCITP exams, whose include 70-640, 70-642, 70-646, and 70-680. These exams are extremely hard and even instructors and flex instructors are failing them. Instructors, who are teaching the material to students and try to prepare them for the exams,
When you go to their orientation and they go through the spiel, they will tell you that you can make $60,000 and plus yearly as a professional, maybe if you have previous experience in the IT-Field, you might. However, be prepared to receive job offers, starting as little as $8.00 an hour. Most of the companies, my computercareer.com deals with are temporary agencies such as TechSystem, Modis, Kelly Services to name a few. While sitting through orientation, you will ask questions and not sure if the program is for you. They will tell you that you are smart and can do it, counting on your self-esteem. Do you want to be called dumb? Well, I don't. The recruiter, uses any method to lurk you in to believe that the program carrying a sticker of $19,500, will be beneficial for you, but at the end of the program, you can use the completion of the program by either framing it or put it away because it is useless. Well, after you gone through the sales b***h, they will directed you to Financial Director, hoping that you are not defaulted on your student loans, so FAFSA can be accessed and completed. Believe me; they will accept anybody, even drunks who they will kick off the premises afterwards. Just remember:
1st week 75 % of the tuition will be reimbursed
2nd week 50 % will be reimbursed
3rd wekk 25 % will be reimbursed
45th week; students are SOL
Everybody who walks through their door is just a walking dollar sign. The campus director is a very nice person to your face but she is fake like Front desk person, Recruiter, Career Counselor, and of course, the Financial Director. They do and say everything you want to hear by simply lying to you. By the way, mycomputercareer.com increased the tuition by $5,000 almost a year ago because they decided that a tablet and one additional course would justify it.
Let's talk about the hands-on experience; you should gain from the institution. We worked on Hyper-V technology while the labs were written in Virtual-Box. Most of the labs didn't work and frustrated most of the students. The instructor would read for PowerPoint slide in record time and skipping many of them. He would take a lot of smoke breaks and sometimes disappears for hours or didn't even come back. Our breaks were 3 hours in an 8 hour day. The flex time is a joke. You just sit in a room and do the work you could have done at home but for the Financial Aid purpose, mycomputercareer.com is required to have students on campus for so many hours. AT this time, one of the campuses is on probation for not complying with the financial aid standards. Well, after each course, we had to take our final exam which was a measure up test in study mode. If the wrong answer was given, students could correct them and get an A on their finals. If students would have taken it in certificate mode, many students would have failed the entire program. Yes, it is memorizing the answers. I didn't have to read the questions anymore; I just looked at the answer, selected the right answer one and completed my test with an A. There were only 100-160 questions in the bank; it is easy to remember the answers. Learning material are books copied as .pdf files, software is from DreamSparks that is a Microsoft website for free software that is good for two years, and videos with some instructor talking about the material of the course which is not enough to pass the certification exam. There are pre-assessment tests, post- assessment tests, and labs that just contain the content of the videos.
To wrapped it up. Before you consider Mycomputercareer.com, check out jobs as network administrator or server administrator and see the requirements. I will tell you, that you won't get close to the requirements because most of them are bachelor degrees and years of experience. Mycomputercareer.com might be beneficial for professionals who are seeking certifications; otherwise it is a hoax and a waste of money.
A person who wants you to avoid the mistake, many others made including me,

#1 REBUTTAL Individual responds
Retraction of my Complaint
SUBMITTED: Wednesday, June 25, 2014POSTED: Wednesday, June 25, 2014
I'm writing to retract the complaint I entered previously about MyComputerCareer in this forum. Due to a refund disagreement I had with the company that I thought was their fault, but later learned was the responsibility of a 3rd party, I became upset and overreacted. The school and I have settled our dispute to my satisfaction and I can vouch for the integrity of this organization and its principals. In my anger, I made several charges that were exaggerated or out of context. In particular, I want to address a few of the most serious complaints:
In summary, I regret my overreaction and can endorse MyComputerCareer as a reliable solution and a good value for those looking to get into IT quickly and efficiently.
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?

Commonwealth Bank Binary Options
Binary options are preferred over many other investment mediums due to their relative simplicity and the variety of assets that can be traded. Traders can choose from Currencies, Commodities, Indices and Stocks. The range of companies is similarly broad with every sector represented. The Commonwealth Bank of Australia is an interesting financial stock that is available on several trading platforms.
The Commonwealth Bank was established in 1911. It was formed by the Australian Gov. and is now one of the main drivers in the Australian economy; the services that it offers include retail banking, corporate banking, and institutional banking. They also offer fund and wealth management services. The majority of their business is located in the Asia-Pacific region but they also operate in the US and UK. Privatized in 1996 the company now has its headquarters in Sydney, Australia.
The Australian economy has been somewhat protected from the economic crisis the world has suffered, mainly due to its location and market partners. The main effect the global financial struggle had on Australia was through confidence depletion. After a drop between 2008 and 2009 of over 50% in share price the price of Commonwealth Bank stocks recovered to near its former level by 2010. The volume of trading Commonwealth Bank shares has been consistent and binary options traders have found daily opportunities to make huge profits.
Binary options traders looking at the Commonwealth Bank stocks should study financial statements, news, reports and the Australian economy in their fundamental analysis. The daily volumes and price fluctuations mean that traders can concentrate a great deal of their attention on the charting patterns of the stock. There are many sources available for this information and signal providers can provide an excellent starting point.
Commonwealth Bank has been listed on the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) since 1991. It is found under the ticker CBA. It is also a constituent of the S&P/ASX 20 MI.

Chapter 0
Dana's blood carries a mysterious gene - the Panacea - the cure to all human diseases. Researched at the White Lily institute for most of her life amongst the hundreds of children whose lives she is destined to save, Dana craves a life of her own. But when terrorists come after her in the middle of the night, she gets much more than she expected...
When I was younger, I remember my mother having at least five cases of OCD. That made life difficult. If the ironing folds didn't line up, I'd have to start all over again. If a visitor nudged something on the mantelpiece out of place, Mum would nudge it back. That was just the kind of person she was, but she was so proud and so sure that she was completely normal that everybody gave up on telling her it was all a bit strange. The rest of her "probs", as my sister used to call it, were all about germs. I was always a clean child, there was no question about that, but if I strayed more than five feet apart from the cheese aisle, I'd have disinfectant on my hands before you could say "Red Leicester." Mum would make mine and Sophie's lunches even when everybody else ate at school, and we were guaranteed to get clipped on the ear if we walked into the kitchen without washing our hands.
Luckily for Mum, I never got sick.
I'm not exaggerating. Some children do, of course. They say it when they don't get a day off school, or when they're perfectly healthy in a room full of wrist-wipers. I was like that too, except unlike them, there was never anything wrong with me. No headaches, no runny noses, not even menstrual cramps (okay, I won't complain about that one.)
Mum used to say it was a blessing - though I think she meant more for her. She didn't have to sanitise me every month like she did with Sophie, and on those occasions I seriously looked into buying her a bio-hazard suit for her birthday. But when I turned sixteen, I wasn't the only person who thought it was strange. When I turned sixteen, I gave blood as the High State commands us to do. I wasn't afraid or anything, needles were fine as long as I didn't look, and I was so accident-prone that I'd lost a lot more blood than that in the past. I just remember feeling angry that I couldn't do something moral of my own free will. Three weeks after it happened, when I'd nearly forgotten, Mom had a call from the hospital about my donation, and there was something about the nurse's mumbling that told me something was very, very wrong.
Even though it had happened fast, there were still things that I remember like it was yesterday. How one of the doctors sitting at the conference table had huge sweat patches under his arms, how another was trying to act like he didn't have a toupee, and how I'd sat on the opposite side in a chair, rubbing patterns onto the tiles with the rubber of my Converses. I'm sure if I went and checked, there'd still be a heart shape there. Mom had been so attentive, even though, like me, she couldn't understand most of their scientific terms. There were some that I can't forget though, ones that had made me pay attention, and had changed everything.
"Natural resistance...her white blood cell count is off the chart...panacea..."
To this day, I still don't know how they didn't know before, but after telling me so much that this would change the world, I started believing them. I changed the world. I was the answer to all the questions - cancer, meningitis, HIV, TB.
In the end, I don't remember that day - a Tuesday - as the day I found out how much of a freak I was, or of how important I was to the world. I remember it as the day I stopped belonging to myself, and started belonging to the world.

Pop-Up Care Villages: Our Latest Innovation
Creating a one-stop shop on the streets that mobilizes nonprofit service providers, city agencies, and social entrepreneurs to radically increase access to vital services, restore dignity, and boost resilience for people experiencing homelessness.
replicate our service
We're working to turn our model into an A-Z toolkit for other communities in response to the hundreds of inquiries we've received from across the globe. Once this affiliate program launches in 2016, we will be able to respond to questions and share our resources.
In the meantime, if you're interested in creating a mobile hygiene service in your community, please add your information through this brief survey. Below are some first steps you can take while we work to systemize our model.
First Steps to Mobile Hygiene
Step 1: What's the need?
Research homelessness in your community. How many? Who are the homeless, what are their demographics? Where are some of the most prominent shelters and service providers? What are the options for someone who wants to take a shower? This will help you understand the landscape, inform the specifics of your plan, and may even make connections that will help you build a collaborative body.
Step 2: Just say hello!
Get your toes wet, and start meeting some of the homeless members of your community, human to human. Understand your own perceptions of homelessness, and challenge them. The best way to understand the experience of not being able to shower and lacking access to hygiene and sanitation is to ask those with first hand experience.
Step 3: Build partnerships
Leaders in the nonprofit world and local government can offer their advice, and also help back this project. Research organizations doing related work, and seek out champions in local government working with homelessness – they could become powerful allies in hosting or supporting the project.There are also many churches and faith-based groups doing charitable work for the homeless that might have the resources and desire to help bring this to fruition. For example, Lava Mae is not a 501(c)3 nonprofit; we are a fiscally sponsored project of The Tides Center. Fiscal sponsorship is a great way to incubate this project.
Step 4: How will you fund this project?
Start thinking about your funding sources. Donations from friends, family, and the community is a great starting point. However, in order to really get your business off the ground, you will need to focus on: crowdsourcing, grants, local/federal funds, corporate sponsorships, and fiscal sponsorships. Getting the right media coverage is critical to getting funding, it helps spread the word about your organization and makes you more attractive to potential funders.
Step 5: Assemble the team
You can try to do this on your own but be prepared for it to be all-consuming. The best way to really get your project off the ground would be to find like-minded people (independent individuals or people who are part of an existing organization you could partner with) who can bring the following areas of expertise to the table: marketing/PR, project management, design/build, fundraising, impact measurement, social media. Volunteers are a great resource when you are starting off, they can provide support with research or go out and help build community partnerships.
Step 6: What are you driving?
Think about what your mobile vehicle looks like, get creative! We used a decommissioned municipal public transportation bus, which was donated through connections we made in local government. However, you can also use a school bus, RV, or just buy a commercial shower trailer. Repurposing an existing resource, one that is iconic and familiar in San Francisco, and turning it into a vehicle for good in the community, helped create a story that has generated a lot of publicity, attention, and funds.
Step 7: Our resources
Thanks to the expertise of architect Brett Terpuluk, founder of Studio Terpuluk, we have quality bus designs based on '92 Gillig buses (the model we used) as well as specs for our internal systems. Additionally, our budget, operating plan, strategic docs, and more will help inform the development of your project. Become an affiliate of Lava Mae and these resources will be made available – once we finalize the proper agreements necessary to license these materials.
Step 8: What's next?
Ready to learn more? Want to become an affiliate of Lava Mae? Contact Leah at firstname.lastname@example.com with any questions, while we are working on an online, information-sharing platform. We believe in collaboration and are open to working with everyone. We're also happy to extend the halo effect of the publicity we've been receiving, as advisors and supporters of your project.

Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
Sept. 2012, I received a fax from Tri-Pro that was offering the vacation that I have always wanted to take my family on. With my son in law getting out of the Marines & coming home. I decided to call & purchase the vacation package to Hawaii. After going through all the tedious paper work. I thought we were waiting on our final forms. Then my daughter gets her letter saying that it had been voided because it was the same address as mine. This is not what I was told when I purchased the package. I was told that because they did not have a 2 bed room available that we could get two studios. I've tried calling Trip Pro but the have changed their name & location. I know that God will give me the strenght to carry on. But, I'm not sure that the evil in you/your company will hold for you. Even through all this. I will still say a prayer for you & all those that work for you. I hope you have enough heart to do the right thing for all of us you have SCAMED!

"Nepal is at this moment 12 years off track from meeting the sanitation Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) target, which was a result of be done in 2015. Reliably it is evaluated that around 4,500 women and young women kick the can from afflictions accomplished from a nonattendance of access to sanitation and water in Nepal.

Not to know is bad, but not to wish to know is worse.
West African Proverb
When it comes to equipping and empowering young people to survive and thrive in an unknown future, everyone accepts that education is key.
However, many of the adults who control the 'doors' to unlocking new social media and personalised ICT platforms within formal education remain suspicious and even scared of the power of these new tools in the hands of learners. There are of course really important concerns and protection issues, but to simply fear what we don't understand or have not experienced personally, is short-sighted.
The task for all of us then is to help unlock the doors and keep them open long enough to be able to glimpse the new future and properly assess the opportunities. We need to accept that as we travel through the doorway the traditional distinctions between teacher and learner, producer and consumer, creator and copier will change. There will be profound challenges, amendments needed to policies and practices, but also astonishing opportunities for children and adults alike.
We do children a terrible disservice if we retreat to our comfort zone and don't take the time to learn from them; recognise what they bring to technology, trust and support them and find ways of understanding and harnessing the technology together. Schools and families need good policies and secure technical infrastructures but they also need to be committed to developing relevant, imaginative education programmes which equip children.
Over the last 17 years I've worked with thousands of children, young people, parents and in schools around the world, helping others look at ways in which technology can be harnessed and used positively, and teaching children about e-safety and responsibility.
As I continue my work I have set as a target the task of working at least once a month directly with children and teaching staff in schools; listening to and learning from them so as to understand and celebrate how new technology can be used safely to extend learning and engagement and raise attainment. This is a whole-school issue not just an ICT technical one.
We have had incidents of cyberbullying in our school and have had Stephen in to talk to both our year 5 and 6 pupils and their parents on two separate occasions. Following both days the feedback was brilliant and we have been enormously impressed by the way Stephen helped both students, teachers and parents understand the risks and opportunities and how he offered practical advice and follow-up support. It is vital that schools support both learners and carers in using new technology and I would recommend to any school wanting to address issues of cyberbullying that they invite Stephen to work in your school."

Wisconsin program to get local food into schools
Seventeen Wisconsin schools, farms and food distributors will get one-on-one professional help to expand local markets, improve profitability and increase the amount of local food going in to local markets. The Buy Local, Buy Wisconsin program at the Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection (DATCP) worked with Transform Wisconsin to administer awards totaling $47,000 to three food distributors, six schools or school districts, and eight food producers.
Recipients will use the money to pay for technical assistance to improve business practices and profitability. Many of the school districts will hire consultants or chefs to develop menus and recipes that incorporate local foods. Some districts will provide training for staff to procure and prepare fresh, seasonal produce. The farms will use the awards analyze opportunities, develop products and to develop marketing plans.
The award recipients are:
Projects are expected to be completed by October.
The money for this one-time opportunity came from Transform Wisconsin. The objectives are to increase the sale of local foods into local markets (with preference given to sales into schools), increase producers' entrances into new markets and increase the number of local suppliers for aggregators/schools.

text: Bradfield College 28th April 2014 23. ANTI-CORRUPTION AND BRIBERY POLICY23.1 Introduction It is Bradfield College's policy to conduct all of our business in an honest and ethical manner. The College will not tolerate any form of bribery or corruption. The College values its reputation for ethical behavior and for financial probity. It is committed to acting professionally, fairly and with integrity in all its business dealings and relationships and to implementing and enforcing effective systems to counter bribery. The College will comply with the Bribery Act 2010, which came into force in July 2011, in respect of its conduct.23.2 The purpose of this policy is to: a) Set out the College's responsibilities, and of those working for the College, in observing and upholding the College's position on bribery and corruption. b) Provide information and guidance to those working for the College on how to recognise and deal with bribery and corruption issues. c) Ensure that the College's employees, contractors and agents are aware of the College's position on bribery and corruption. Bribery and corruption are punishable for individuals by up to ten years' imprisonment and if the College were found to have taken part in corruption the College could face an unlimited fine, be excluded from tendering for public contracts and face damage to its reputation. The College therefore takes its legal responsibilities very seriously.In this policy, third party means any individual or organisation which the College's employees come into contact with during the course of their work for the College, and includes actual and prospective pupils and parents, suppliers, business contacts, agents, advisers, and government and public bodies.23.3 The Policy The College prohibits 1. The offering, the giving, the solicitation or the acceptance of any bribe, whether cash or other inducement to or from any person or company, wherever they are situated and whether they are a public official or body or private person or company by any individual employee, agent of other person or body acting on the College's behalf in order to gain any personal commercial contractual or regulatory advantage for the College in a way which is unethical or in order to gain any personal advantage, pecuniary or otherwise, for the individual or anyone connected with the individual.2. Any inducement which results in a personal gain or advantage to the recipient or any person or body associated with them, and which may be intended to influence them to take action which may not be solely in the interests of the College or of the person or body employing them or whom they represent.23.4 Who is covered by the policy? This policy applies to all individuals working for the College at all levels (whether permanent, fixed-term or temporary), and includes Governors, volunteers, agents or any other person associated with the College.23.5 What is bribery? A bribe is an inducement or reward offered, promised or provided in order to gain any business or personal advantage.23.6 Gifts and hospitality This policy does not prohibit normal and appropriate hospitality (given and received) to or from third parties. The giving or receipt of gifts or hospitality is not prohibited, if the following requirements are met:- it is not made with the intention of influencing a third party to obtain or retain business or a business advantage, or to reward the provision or retention of business or a business advantage, or in explicit or implicit exchange for favours or benefits; - It complies with local law. - It is given in the College's name, not in the employee's name. - It does not include cash or a cash equivalent. - It is appropriate in the circumstances. For example, in the UK it is customary for small gifts (such as a bottle of wine) to be given at Christmas time. However, gifts in excess of a value of £100 would not be appropriate, nor would gifts of cash.-Taking into account the reason for the gift, it is of an appropriate type and value(not in excess of £100, without approval) and given at an appropriate time. - It is given openly, not secretly. - Gifts should not be offered to, or accepted from, government officials or representatives without the prior approval of the Bursar or the Head.Inevitably, decisions as to what is acceptable may not always be easy. The test to be applied is whether in all the circumstances the gift or hospitality is reasonable and justifiable. The intention behind the gift should always be considered. If anyone is in doubt as to whether a potential act could constitute bribery, the matter should be referred to the Bursar, who has responsibility for this policy, before proceeding.Employees must report all offers of gifts and hospitality, other than where the gift and hospitality is deemed to be under £100 in value, to the Bursar who will approve as appropriate and ensure all reported and approved gifts and hospitality are recorded in a Register, which can be reviewed by Council members or external auditors to ensure that the College is in compliance with the legislation23.7 What is not acceptable? It is not acceptable for the College or its employees (or someone on their behalf) to: -Give, promise to give, or offer, a payment, gift or hospitality with the expectation or hope that an advantage for the College will be received, or to reward an advantage already received. - Give, promise to give, or offer, a payment, gift or hospitality to a government official, agent or representative to "facilitate" or expedite a routine procedure. - Accept payment from a third party that you know or suspect is offered with the expectation that it will obtain an advantage for them. - Accept a gift or hospitality from a third party if you know or suspect that it is offered or provided with an expectation that a business advantage will be provided by the College in return.- Threaten or retaliate against another worker who has refused to commit a bribery offence or who has raised concerns under this policy. - Engage in any activity that might lead to a breach of this policy.23.8 Donations The College only makes charitable donations that are legal and ethical. No donation must be offered or made in the College' name or on behalf of the School without the prior approval of the Warden, the Head or the Bursar.23.9 Fee Remissions The College offers a wide range of scholarships and awards, open to all prospective pupils seeking admission to the College. It also awards means-tested bursaries in accordance with its Bursar Policy available to all parents and prospective parents with the College prospectus and on the College website.The College staff are eligible to apply for staff discounts in accordance with the Staff Discount Policy contained in the Staff Handbook.The College does not, and will not, offer fee remission for pupils or prospective pupils, whose parents are staff at other schools. These parents are able to apply for scholarships and bursaries in the normal way, as above.23.10 The Bradfield Foundation The Bradfield Foundation is a separate charity, with its own trustees, whose role is primarily to raise funds from donors and benefactors for improving the buildings, facilities and activities at Bradfield College.All donations to the Bradfield Foundation are, and must be, made without any expectation or anticipation of benefit to the individual donor or benefactor, either from the Foundationor from the College.If the Bradfield Foundation were to believe or suspect that an individual donor or beneficiary was expecting or anticipating some future benefit, the Chairman of the Foundation would bring this to the attention of the Warden. The Chairman of the Foundation and the Warden would then agree whether or not the Foundation and the College should accept the gift or donation.The College does recognise certain donors by either naming facilities after them or by including their names on honour boards or equivalent. Any such naming is subject to the specific approval of Council.23.11 Your responsibilities Employees are expected to read, understand and comply with this policy. The prevention, detection and reporting of bribery and other forms of corruption are the responsibility of all those working for the College or under the College's control. All employees are required to avoid any activity that might lead to, or suggest, a breach of this policy.Employees must notify the Head or Bursar as soon as possible if you believe or suspect that a breach of this policy has occurred, or may occur in the future.Any employee who breaches this policy will face disciplinary action, which could result in dismissal for gross misconduct. The College reserves its right to terminate its contractual relationship with contractors, suppliers and service providers if they breach this policy.23.12 Record-keeping The College keeps financial records and has appropriate internal controls in place which will evidence the business reason for making payments to third parties.All Employees must make their line manager aware and keep a written record of all hospitality or gifts accepted or offered, which will be subject to managerial review. If deemed to be over £100 in value, these must be reported, approved and recorded in the College's Register (see Section on Gifts and Hospitality above).Employees must ensure all expenses claims relating to hospitality, gifts or expenses incurred to third parties are submitted in accordance with the College's expenses policy and specifically record the reason for the expenditure.All accounts, invoices, memoranda and other documents and records relating to dealings with third parties, such as clients, suppliers and business contacts, should be prepared and maintained with strict accuracy and completeness.23.13 How to raise a concernEmployees are encouraged to raise concerns about any issue or suspicion of malpractice at the earliest possible stage. Concerns should be reported by following the procedure set out in the College's Whistleblowing Policy.If an employee has raised an issue and does not believe the issue has been dealt with appropriately, it should be forwarded to the Warden who will ensure it is fully investigated.23.14 ProtectionEmployees who refuse to accept or offer a bribe, or those who raise concerns or report another's wrongdoing, are sometimes worried about possible repercussions. The College aims to encourage openness and will support anyone who raises genuine concerns in good faith under this policy, even if they turn out to be mistaken.The College is committed to ensuring no one suffers any detrimental treatment as a result of refusing to take part in bribery or corruption, or because of reporting in good faith their suspicion that an actual or potential bribery or other corruption offence has taken place, or may take place in the future. Detrimental treatment includes dismissal, disciplinary action, threats or other unfavourable treatment connected with raising a concern. If employees believe that they have suffered any such treatment, employees should use the School's Grievance Procedure.23.15 Training and communication Training on this policy will form part of the induction process for all new employees. All existing employees will be asked to read this policy and thereby given an understanding of how to implement and adhere to this policy. Further relevant training will be provided where appropriate.23.16 Other relevant documents The College's Expenses Policy can be located on the College intranet under Admin Resources/HR & HR policies/HR Policies/Accounting Policies. Further guidance on gifts and hospitality is given in the College's Financial Regulations, located on the College intranet under HR & HR Policies/HR Policies/Accounting Policies.The above policy is non-contractual and the College reserves the right to amend or withdraw it at any time.Bradfield College in the Tatler Schools Guide 2014 MORE SCHOOLS' GIFTING POLICIES School gifting policies - A directory

Tour de France: Simon Gerrans wins third stage by millimetres – video highlights
Australian rider Simon Gerrans wins the third stage of the 2013 Tour de France, raced between Ajaccio and Calvi, in a photo-finish with Slovakian Peter Sagan. Compensation for Sagan came in the form of the green jersey, as he now tops the Tour's points competition. Team Sky's Geraint Thomas, who fractured his pelvis in Saturday's crash, bravely raced on to complete the stage

Calvin Klein unveiled its new spring campaign shot by Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott—but not without drumming up a little anticipation first. They introduced the campaign on Twitter with a literal drumroll—and not just a drumroll, a shirtless drumroll...from Justin Bieber. Stone posted the image of herself and the 20-year-old singer-slash-trouble-maker shirtless and embracing. Beliebers have alreadyexpressed their approval, leaving comments like "get off my man hoe," "lucky as hell," and "that should be me."
Biebs also posted a photo of himself in tighty whities—an image reminiscent of Mark Wahlberg's famous '80s undie shots—to announce that he's the new face of Calvin Klein underwear and jeans. As Bieber himself hashtags, #thebestisyet2come.

Let It FlowMature
1:20am at the Black Box: "Slow" by Jamie Foxx was playing.
The baby making music was playing throughout the club. Everyone was coupled up and dancing to the rhythm of the beat. Almost everybody were grinding. Malik was dancing with a girl as was Andre. They didn't want to expose themselves in front of Malik's straight friends, colleagues and family.
Kel took a break from dancing with a girl and went to the bathroom. Diggy just finished washing his hands. Kel rushed to an urinal and Diggy recognized him in the mirror.
Diggy looked Kel up and down. He snapped himself out of the trance when he heard him almost finish using the urinal. Kel walked over to wash his hands when he saw Diggy drying his hands.
"Diggy?" said Kel.
Diggy turned to see Kel smiling at him. "Hey Mikhael, how are you?"
"I'm good, getting my swerve on, out on the dance floor."
Diggy laughed, "Look at you! Dancing! Well good for you!"
Kel smiled and laughed, "Well, how are your injuries?"
Kel finished drying his hands and "Wetter" by Sammie played throughout the club.
Diggy responded, "Oh I have bruised ribs, none were broken, and I did get my mouth swabbed for any diseases, which came back negative. Thank the Lord! I can see out of both eyes now, and I'm recovering well."
Kel smiled, "I'm happy to hear that."
"I know! Me too! Lesson learned!"
"I want to talk with you before you go back to Philly."
"I'm going back to Philly tonight. I came up as a surprise to Malik."
"Oh really?!"
"So if this a positive "talk" we should do it now."
Kel nervously chuckled and Diggy looked confused.
"Well, this is hard for me to do, but Diggy, I think I want to-"
(Assertively) "Stop... don't even finish. Here you go with your mix signals. Let's not."
"This is my final decision..."
"I rather not, know what it is!"
Diggy walked away from Kel and he put his head down in disbelief.
Diggy turned, "Are you coming?" Diggy tossed the paper towel in the trash and said, "Let's just be friends. If you try to push change, it might not work the way you want it. But if you just let it flow, than it will work out for the better."
Kel smiled and walked up to Diggy. He grabbed Diggy's arm and pulled him close.
Their eyes met and locked, brushing him out of reality on a tidal wave of passion, and like always he fell hard into it. Kel pressed his lips against Diggy's. He bit his lower lip and Diggy's body was left lifeless in Kel's grasp. Diggy's head was thrown back and he remained breathless as Kel spread his passion on his lips.
Diggy not only lost his train of thought, but it seemed like he lost all coordination for a couple of moments.
Diggy said weakly, "Stop that..."
Kel gave him a wicked smirk, licked his lips and replied: "Stop what?"
Kel placed his fingers around Diggy's waist, gently against his ribs, and his other hand slid in his pants. Kel whispered: "This?"
Diggy moaned.
Kel smiled and said: "Or this?'
Diggy sharply inhaled, as he felt a shot of passion drilled in him. Kel smiled, "You want me to stop? Just say my name."
Diggy chattered, "M-m-m-mmik"
Kel's hands continued to explored and dug deeper. Diggy opened his mouth and allowed his eyes to roll with pleasure.

text: I'm not an author of fiction by any means, but here I am writing a business fable. What am I really? A management consultant, blogger, trainer and coach with a message about how time management can be made easy for everyone, everywhere. I began drafting a novel a few years ago when I realized that the best way to express the ideas that I have been using in my work is not in a how-to, but in a fictional demonstration of the ideas at work. So, I am in the way to completing the first edits on a first draft of "Perfect Time Management." (Oct 14, 2012.)

"A final quintet of publications attests to interest in the lasting effects of 19th-century culture and ideas. Lauri Ramey, Slave Songs and the Birth of African American Poetry (Palgrave), presents a valuable study of the formal and thematic characteristics of slave songs, most of which were collected and published in the latter half of the century. Ramey explains how they have been marginalized in the disciplinary study of folklore, religion, and music while also making a strong case for reading them as poetry, as literary texts worthy of inclusion in the canon. In a series of thematically and topically arranged chapters, she demonstrates their influence on Paul Laurence Dunbar and on a wide array of later poets." - American Literary Scholarship"The corpus of slave songs is enormous, and their impact on African American literature has long been acknowledged. But little has been written about the connection between these songs and American literature. Slave songs are usually marginalized in, or omitted altogether from, literary anthologies and studies of verse. Even classic, if now dated, works examining the songs - including Lawrence Levine's Black Culture and Black Consciousness (CH, Jul'77) and Dena Epstein's Sinful Tunes and Spirituals (CH, Sep'78) - fail to discuss the poetic aspects of the songs. Ramey (CSU, Los Angeles) attempts to fill this glaring void with this erudite yet readable volume. The author provides provocative analyses of some of the individual songs (e.g., "Poor Pilgrim" and "Steal Away"). More importantly, she sheds light on their originality and their African roots, including the call-and-response tradition. In so doing, she makes a strong argument for studying these important pieces in light of their lyric poetic qualities. This is a book for all who are interested in African American literature and in poetry more broadly." - Choice
"Ramey argues that spirituals and slave songs are central to the literary legacy of the U.S., both in their own right as a form that goes to the heart of the American experience and as a major reference of the American imagination, through their influence on black and white writers alike. This book restores the spiritual to its rightful place in the American literary canon and will certainly stimulate scholarly interest in the spiritual as art form." - F. Abiola Irele, Harvard University

Keep current with the truth: we're only as weak as our secrets—
especially the ones we keep from ourselves.
That's the Third Rule of Ten.
As the go-to private detective for a bevy of high-profile clients, our beloved ex-Buddhist monk, ex-LAPD officer, Tenzing "Ten" Norbu, has finally found his stride. With his beautiful pathologist girlfriend, a healthy bank account, and a steady stream of clients, courtesy of middle-aged movie star Mac Gannon and rising political star Bets McMurtry, Ten's life is bursting with activity. But it's not all joy and happiness. The death of his father and a growing abundance of secrets—both personal and professional—leave Ten feeling an unexpected depth of sorrow and confusion.
Even with the emotional turmoil, nothing can stop Ten from taking the case when McMurtry's housekeeper goes missing. The investigation leads him down a dangerous path littered with bodies, untraceable prescription drugs, and human organ trafficking. But nothing is as shocking as the realization that the mastermind behind it all is none other than—Chaco Morales, a criminal that slipped through Ten's hands once already.
The Third Rule of Ten will have readers on the edges of their seats, as they learn, along with Ten, that there is a fine line between healthy privacy and unhealthy secrecy. Knowing the difference may just determine whether Ten will stop Chaco or lose himself

Before giving his Urbi et Orbi blessing, the Pope prayed for peace in the world. "Help us to overcome the scourge of hunger, aggravated by conflicts and by the immense wastefulness for which we are often responsible," he said.
"We ask you, Lord Jesus, to put an end to all war and every conflict, whether great or small, ancient or recent".
"We pray in a particular way for Syria, that all those suffering the effects of the conflict can receive needed humanitarian aid and that neither side will again use deadly force, especially against the defenseless civil population, but instead boldly negotiate the peace long awaited and long overdue!"
"We ask that hearts be turned to reconciliation and fraternal concord in Venezuela".
By your resurrection, which this year we celebrate together with the Churches that follow the Julian calendar, we ask you to enlighten and inspire the initiatives that promote peace in Ukraine so that all those involved, with the support of the international community, will make every effort to prevent violence and, in a spirit of unity and dialogue, chart a path for the country's future.

my dirty secret
I want to tell you.
I want you to find out, and be angry with me,
because you should be,
you should be very angry.
I want you to find out and then ask me why,
and then I want to tell you.
I want to tell you everything,
and I want to promise I will heal,
and I want to promise never again,
even I have no intentions of doing so.
Because I like it.
Because I crave it.
I dream of it all night,
and I imagine it all day.
I like myself this way.
I know the facts.
I know the toll this will take
on my body, my health, my brain,
my lips, my teeth, my sanity,
but I don't care.
And yet, I want you to,
because if you cared about it,
it would show you cared about me
beyond a fake friendship,
beyond what it seems,
it would mean you wanted me around for
more than ten years
after we've said goodbye.
It would mean secretly, you wanted me in your life.
I want to tell you.
But of course, I never will.
Secrets are poisonous, and this one is set to kill.
