It is a standard practice to send project status updates using emails. In this article we will look at how a simple project status update email can help you communicate the project status and make the project team and stakeholders aware of the status.
|Project Status Update Email Sample
Advantages of sending project status update using emails -
- Quick and easy to draft so can be sent in few minutes. The first time you set up the email template or format it may take time but after that it should take only a few minutes for every update.
- Provides a mechanism of reminding the key dates and timelines to the project team.
- Project Status reports are generally sent once a week. Email updates be sent frequently (if required daily).
- Beneficial for tracking tasks as the email report will contain a progress indicator which everyone can see. Example if task remains at 60% for a few days people will know that the task is not moving.
- Often the email status report will contain items which are due so it also acts as reminder to the team. And, in some cases confirm to the team certain items are in scope for the project.
- It is very helpful to the team to get a brief update as you cannot send the detailed status report every time.
- Higher possibility that everyone will read their emails and easy for everyone to respond to emails.
- If the status update format is consistent it will make it easy for people to find the information they need.
- Helps in building confidence with senior management as they can see updates on a daily basis and know how the project is progressing.
- Because the updates are more frequent the team and stakeholders will be aware of issues and project status on a daily basis. Generally, with a weekly status report they will be informed only after a few days.
- Provides some flexibility when compared to a project status report as you do not have to limit yourself to a template.
Project Status Update Email Template 1: A brief update
- This kind of update is suitable for senior management or high level executives.
- The email update contains 3 sections Key Highlights, Task Update and Other Updates.
- The key highlights section should have the key highlights about the project update.
- The task update should be for providing details about the project tasks and their status.
- Other updates are general updates like team events or upcoming leaves.
|Project Status Update : Brief Version
Project Status Update Email Template 2: A detailed tracking update
- This kind of update is suitable for managers and the project team as it contains task details.
- The email update is divided into two sections - Key Highlights and Task Updates.
- The key highlights should cover the key updates only. You should be specific and discuss only the key points rather than giving an detailed update. Try and keep this to 3 to 4 bullet points.
- The tasks section can be from the project plan or excel sheet task tracker.
- Display all the key task information like task name, assigned to, start date, end date % compete and comments.
|Project Status Update : Detailed Version
Some tips when using the project status email update
- Send the email either at end of the day or start of the day as people can arrange their priorities as needed.
- Maintain the frequency of the email updates. So, if you send every two days then make sure that you send it after every two days. I generally send it twice a week initially and the project gets closer to the delivery date I increase the frequency to daily.
- Limit the content to minimum as possible. People tend to ignore very long emails especially that are more frequent.
- Always include a progress indicator for tasks. It can be % complete and effort remaining. Without a progress indicator task tracking can be meaning less.
- Highlight anything needs attention in red as people who just skim the email will be attracted to the items marked in red or some other color.
- Take regular feedback from the team and others to make your status updates readable. If after all this effort nobody reads your updates then its better to not send it !!!
- We recommend to have a look at Email Templates for Project Managers for other templates. Also see 11 tips for effective email writing.

Parmis les autres expos à ne pas manquer, du côté de la photographie, on pointe les photographies de plages prises d'hélicoptère, à la verticale des sujets, par un autre Belge, Antoine Rose qui dans la froide lumière évacue quasi le sujet au profit de ponctuations chromatiques.
Katherine Brooks, Arts Editor, The Huffington Post (NY, USA)
From Xavi Carbonell's vibrant, Basquiat-inspired canvases to Antoine Rose's spectacular aerial photographs, there are endless options for all art collecting newbies and aficionados
Kevin Conley, Arts Editor Town & Country mag (NY, USA)
Town & Country hits the Affordable Art Fair and the AIPAD show for a sampling of this week's favorite art. The premise of the Affordable Art Fair, at the Metropolitan Pavilion (125 West 18th Street, April 3-April 7), suggests a certain uneasy expectation about art: that if art is any good, it can't possibly be affordable. But collectors have to start somewhere. The cutoff line for affordabilty, for purposes of this fair, is $10,000. That can buy a major statement, like the "Shoreline—Study 2," by Antoine Rose, a massive photo, larger than your average NBA power forward in recline. The mood recalls the work of the more renowned Italian photographer Massimo Vitali. But Vitali works in a cinemascope scale in standard sea-and-sky perspective; Rose shoots his beach scenes straight down from the open door of a helicopter.
Private collector (NY, USA)
My husband and I were quite taken with the " Casual Meeting" since we saw it at AAF in NYC last fall, and even after recently attending Art Basel in Miami earlier this month, we still haven't been able to find a piece of artwork more right for our family and our home. We are lovers of the beach – and we feel the piece captures the spirit of summer, community but it also captures the need to carve out a separate and private sense of space in a public setting that New Yorkers especially can relate to. We also love that this piece feels more abstract without the water appearing in the shot, and it seems to inspire conversation and wonder about each group you captured in that moment
Hanneke Beaumont, Award winning Sculptor (BELGIUM/THE NETHERLANDS)
We went to see your photo's, and I think they are very good! I also like very much the way you framed them. You are on the right track , so keep up this good work
John R. S. (UK)
A bit of class. Someone who has a clear vision for their picture-making, knows where in the landscape to find their subject, and has the technical capability to realise those aims.

Plastic CD-Rom containers with the spindle are wonderful for keeping your knitting projects clean, untangled, and safe from kitty paws! Many of the spindles screw right off the lid, leaving a nice smooth hole for your yarn to come through. It's easy to store your small project (such as a sock) right in the container when you are setting your project aside.

Well, Mary, smart cookie you are. I have many uses for them but not even thinking of this. I have used empty oatmeal boxes, etc. But with all the CD/DVD empty packages I have waiting for a use, this is a good one.
Oh, I am originally from Webster, SD, moved to MN. So a good SD gal's idea of recycle!

VIENNA, Austria (AP) Top-seeded Stanislas Wawrinka was upset 6-7 (5), 6-2, 7-6 (5) Tuesday by German qualifier Philipp Petzschner in the first round of the BA Tennis Trophy.
Second-seeded Fernando Gonzalez rallied from a set down to beat Simone Bolelli 4-6, 7-6 (2), 6-2, while Juergen Melzer fought off two set points before defeating two-time champion Ivan Ljubicic 7-6 (3), 6-3.
Petzschner had two early breaks but lost the opening set after double-faulting in the tiebreaker.
"This was my first match against a top-10 player, so it's definitely my biggest win so far," said the 125th-ranked Petzschner.
The 24-year-old German added three more breaks to win the second. He led 5-3 in the third, but needed a tiebreaker to close out the match. He won on his second match point when Wawrinka netted a backhand.
"I am looking to qualify for (the Masters Cup in) Shanghai, so this obviously is a disappointing result," said Wawrinka, who reached the final in Vienna last year. "He played well and he is a talented player, but I just wasn't aggressive enough."
The 10th-ranked Wawrinka became the top-seeded player after defending champion Novak Djokovic and James Blake withdrew from the tournament.
Philipp Kohlschreiber also advanced to the second round after beating Marc Gicquel 6-2, 6-2, while Radek Stepanek downed Pavel Snobel 6-4, 6-2. Ernests Gulbis defeated Filippo Volandri 6-2, 6-3.
Sixth-seeded Tommy Robredo pulled out with a hip injury and was replaced by Santiago Giraldo, who beat Stefan Koubek 6-1, 6-2.
Gonzalez scored only five points on Bolelli's serve in the opening set. But he controlled the match from the baseline in the second and third sets.
"It's always tough against Bolelli - we play a same type of game," Gonzalez said. "I had a bit of jet lag coming here, so I am happy to get my first win."

Lanterns are enclosed, sometimes portable, light sources. They appear in Martian Dreams, Ultima Underworld I, Ultima Underworld II and Ultima IX.
A lantern consists of a candle or an oil lamp which has been ensconced in a glass housing to protect it from the elements. While fixed lanterns have been used as streetlights in urban parts of Britannia since the reign of Lord Blackthorn, handheld lanterns enjoyed considerably less popularity in the realm, and only found their way into common use in the last days of the Age of Armageddon. Other worlds, such as Earth, Tarna, Rhiannon and Anodunos all appear to employ oil-fueled portable lanterns regularly.
Magic LanternEdit
- Main article: Magic Lantern
The Super Nintendo port of Ultima VII features a magical lantern, which is used by the Avatar to make contact with the secluded wisps of the Deep Forest.
Trivia Edit
- The runic spell Mending could be used to magically refuel lanterns in Ultima Underworld II.
- The streetlights of the Ophidian cities were lit by strange globular lanterns which were powered by a mixture of the reagents agnium, serpentinium and zerine.

Recently, the Department of Health and Human Services issued a final rule requiring insurance plans to cover all FDA-approved contraceptive and sterilization treatments with no cost-sharing (i.e. no copays).
Catholic hospitals and other faith-based organizations that offer health insurance plans to their employees have asked for an exemption from the rule so they may continue to offer health insurance coverage not in conflict with their religious beliefs. However, late last month, the president denied their requests and announced it would only grant them a year delay before requiring them to comply with this mandate.
It is not the government's role to dictate to health care providers, health insurers and others how to serve their patients and employees. Nor is it the government's role to dictate when groups must abandon their religious or moral beliefs to ensure certain services are provided.
I have co-sponsored S. 1467, the Respect for Rights of Conscience Act of 2011. This legislation would ensure health care providers, insurers and others do not have to violate their personal moral and ethical principles while providing health care mandated by the federal government.
This is an issue I am closely monitoring to help ensure the federal government does not overstep its bounds.

text: On July 4th 2015 Piper is celebrating her 42th birthday. The whole family has come to the party Phoebe, Paige, Henry, Coop, Tamora, Kat, Henry Jr. Prudence, Penelope (Grams), Penelope (Phoebe's Second Daughter Made Up Name), Patricia (Charmed Ones Mother), Patricia (Phoebe's Third Daughter Name Also Made Up), Victor, and friends of the family dead and living. Everyone is having fun Except for Paige. Paige decides to go to the basement and begins to sense something evil lurking in the manor. Wyatt is using Photokinesis to make a spiral of lights in the entrance. Chris comes from behind Wyatt and pants him and orbs out. Wyatt pulls his pants up and screams at Chris and orbs after him. Melinda is Playing with Tamora, Kat, and Prudence outside when a demon shimmers in and throws a fireball at Prudence. Prudence aims her hand at the fireball and beams it back at him. The demon is hit and vanquished. Melinda looks at Prudence thinking cupids couldn't defend themselves. Prudence states that she is also part witch. Inside the house Chris is hiding by the grandfather clock when Wyatt orbs in. Chris pushes the clock on Wyatt knocking him unconscious. Leo comes up stairs to see Wyatt bleeding on the ground and Chris attempting to heal him. Leo yells at Chris for hurting Wyatt and begins to help him heal Wyatt. Billie is downstairs talking with Piper when another demon shimmers in. Billie throws the demon through the front doors. The demon lands in front of Melinda, Tamora, Kat, and Prudence. All four girls aim there hands at the demon and preceed to rip him apart. Piper looks outside and see the girls vanquishing the demon. Henry Jr. is trying to play with Penelope Jr. when she beams him away. Henry Jr. goes to Henry crying that the girls wont even talk to him without beaming or orbing him away. More demons shimmer and flame into the manor and a battle brake out. Henry, Dyrral, Victor, and Henry Jr. run out of the manor at the time Paige goes upstairs. A fireball is thrown at Paige and she falls down the stairs. The demon who hurt Paige throws another fireball at Billie. Piper freezes the fireball and Billie throws it back at the demon. Fireballs are thrown all over the manor and several people are hit. By the time all the demons are gone someone is lost. Paige manages to get up and walks towards the front doors. When Paige reaches the front door she sees that Henry Jr. is dying and the girls (with the exception of Prudence) are trying to heal him. Paige rushes over to Henry Jr. and tries to heal him only to get there too late. Henry Jr. is gone. Devistated Paige orbs to the Underworld to get revenge. Piper walks upstairs to see Wyatt dying in Leo's arms. Surprised Wyatt is even hurt Piper runs over to Wyatt. Piper screams out for Paige with no success. Wyatt is slowly self-healing enough that he does not need healing but at the same time his other powers are out and he is unconscious. Chris is in his room freaking out thinking he has killed his brother. Piper walks in about to scold him to see him crying. Downstairs the guests are cleaning up the mess and begining to leave. July 23rd Henry Jr.'s Funeral is being held and a sqaud of Whitelighters are searching the Underworld for Paige. Henry is with Tamora and Kat mourning Henry Jr's death and worried about the location of Paige. August 5th Still no sign of Paige and search was ended. Wyatt is still recovering after a month of resting and taking it easy. Down in the Underworld Paige is randomly destroying demons all over the Underworld. Paige spots a familiar demon and begins to chase him down. Paige catches the demon and begins to question him. It turns out that the demon is working for a higher force and he was the one who killed Henry Jr. Paige furious begins to destroy the demon instead she and the demon are orbed to the heavens. the demon attempts to kill a elder when he is frozen neck down. The elders begin to scream at the demon demanding to know who he was working for. The demon refuses to answer when a elder zaps him with lightning. The demon then is unfrozen and throws a fireball at Paige. The fireball hits Paige and she is killed. The elders then imprison the Demon and dispose of Paige's body. Several hordes of demons shimmer into the manor and begin to attack. Leo runs down stairs only to be blast through the wall and brake his back. Piper goes down stairs and blast the demons one by one. Melinda orbs downstairs at the time Piper is blasted and killed. The demons begin to shimmer away when Melinda freezes them. Melinda then orbs the demons into pieces. Wyatt walks downstairs slowly nearly falling down the stairs. Melinda helps him down the rest of the way and the two see their dead mother and ingured father. Phoebe is the only living charmed one left while their fathers are all still living. Phoebe in a attempt to bring the sister back died herself to bring their spirits back from the dead.

So last week I chatted about the two blogs that inspired me to get serious about My Girl Thursday. This week I'm focussing on...
Kaylah of The Dainty Squid
This girl right here is a genius of colour. You could even say she's my colour hero. Whenever I stop by her blog I feel like I'm peeking into this feline-filled Technicolor life that was perfectly stitched together while Kaylah was watching a 90's sitcoms on Netflix. If you're unfamiliar with her blog then you should hop on over tout suite and you'll see what I'm saying.
Also, she's got the thrifting skills to pay the bills. Although, that's not how she pays the bills. Check out her shop to lay your eyes on some of the prettiest handmade pouches ever.

Danielle of A Blog by Danielle Thompson
Katie of Skunkboy Creatures
This blog is a portal to a world I want to live in. A kitschy cornucopia of dolls and tiki and vintage craft. It's all enough to make a girl like me buckle at the knees. Danielle is by far one of my favourite collectors of things because she does it so darn well! In her photos it's easy to see that she had a decor theme going on and my favourite parts are always the trinkets. The placement of these odds and ends and the overall design of each room has left me awestruck on more than one occasion. Quinte honestly if I could choose just one person to decorate my home it would be Danielle. Without a doubt, she could single-handedly create my happy place.
Katrina of Pugly Pixel
If you've been visiting this blog for a while then you probably know I'm a little nuts over Pugly Pixel. I couldn't be more grateful for Katrina and what she does. Seriously blog world - this woman is a blessing to us all. Thanks to Pugly Pixel I have been able to experiment with brushes and clipart that normally I would have had little or no access to. On top of that she offers these amazing design tutorial videos that I've actually jumped up and down for (I'm a very visual learner,she's a fantastic teacher and I hop when I'm excited). Thank you for everything you do Katrina. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Katie of Skunkboy Creatures
I have been a fan of Katie and her creatures for years. But what may get me the most excited when I visit her blog is her outfit posts. I am a fan of outfit posts in general (I'll admit it) but when Katie does it she does it right. I adore her style. Adore. She has most definitely inspired me to wear what makes me happy and to stop over thinking all of my clothing insecurities.
On a side note: Katie was the very first person that gave me a chance at blog design and I will be forever grateful for that. Working on a new look for Skunkboy Creatures gave me the opportunity to learn about working with a client, a deadline and the vision of someone else. I'm a creative girl who enjoys all sorts of craft, but in blog design I've finally found my niche. Happy dance!
So, that's all for this week. Are you feeling particularly giddy about any blogs out there? Please leave a link in the comments below so I can visit some of your favourite places!

The alarm on your phone pierces into your sleep. You've chosen the most gentle melody you can find, but it sounds like brutal techno at 7am on a Tuesday morning. Can it really be morning already? Why am I still so tired?
You force yourself to sit up, put your feet on the floor. Check time – doing OK so far. You climb in the shower and start washing – "What am I going to wear today? What do I need to do before I leave? What have I got on at work today?" Racing thoughts and frantic doing start to replace the sluggish despair.
After your shower you follow a tightly-scheduled sequence of preparations for the day. Time check – "Eek! Is that the time already?" You still need to sort your hair and get your things together but you need to leave NOW. OK, hair can be sorted at work. You frantically get your things together – where's your phone? You walk around your flat in circles several times and then remember you need to put the rubbish out too. Find the phone, get coat and shoes on, leave, remember the rubbish, come back, take rubbish out, only 10 minutes late, ahem. Let's hope I'm lucky with the tube connections…
Any of this sound familiar?
The price of the treadmill
If these kinds of patterns continue throughout the day… week… month… year…, they lead to stress, fatigue and burnout. Maybe you know people who have suffered the consequences.
But there is another way.
One Friday a few years ago, I was feeling thoroughly frazzled, down and disconnected. Not quite burnout – I had only been feeling this way for a few days – but I desperately felt the need for a change of scene, a breath of fresh air. I searched on the internet for country walks within easy distance of London, and found one that sounded good, featuring forests, fields and streams. I set off the following morning, feeling as grumpy and dispirited as ever, and started the walk in silence with my patient boyfriend. After an hour of beautiful views, fresh country air and tramping through leaves, my spirits had lifted somewhat and I was starting to laugh at Michael's jokes (instead of giving him cold glares). We walked for three hours, stopping for lunch in a country pub, and I returned home refreshed, invigorated and much more at peace.
Getting out into the countryside is a great way to blow out the cobwebs and find some space from urban life, but it's not always realistic to do every week.
What if you could get that feeling from 1 hour of mindfulness in nature in your local park?
"I knew in my head that Julia's ecotherapy walk would be beneficial to me and that I'd enjoy it. But I didn't know that actually participating in them would have such a big and immediate impact!
Walking on the grass, feeling the wind against my cheeks and the leaves with my fingertips, hearing the birds, my breath and the cars, immediately took me 'out of my head'. The earth and its elements took over and took away the thoughts and worries on my mind and this created so much space and calm within. A feeling of joy arose! Mindfully connecting with nature is the best medicine to compensate city – and office life. Julia has made it so accessible and fun for you to do, by offering her ecotherapy sessions in London's parks! Julia had a sparkling and natural way of guiding us through the hour. She knows when to speak and when not to, so that you feel seen as an individual, connected as a group and there's plenty of space for the experience in nature itself." – Annet de Vries, Creative Entrepreneur, walk participant

Measuring strategies for learning regulation in medical education: Scale reliability and dimensionality in a Swedish sample
The degree of learners' self-regulated learning and dependence on external regulation influence learning processes in higher education. These regulation strategies are commonly measured by questionnaires developed in other settings than in which they are being used, thereby requiring renewed validation. The aim of this study was to psychometrically evaluate the learning regulation strategy scales from the Inventory of Learning Styles with Swedish medical students (
The regulation scales were evaluated regarding their reliability, scale dimensionality and interrelations. The primary evaluation focused on dimensionality and was performed with Mokken scale analysis. To assist future scale refinement, additional item analysis, such as item-to-scale correlations, was performed.
Scale scores in the Swedish sample displayed good reliability in relation to published results: Cronbach's alpha: 0.82, 0.72, and 0.65 for
The results indicate that these scales have an adequate capacity for detecting the three theoretically proposed learning regulation strategies in the medical education sample. Further construct validity should be sought by interpreting scale scores in relation to specific learning activities. Using established scales for measuring students' regulation strategies enables a broad empirical base for increasing knowledge on regulation strategies in relation to different disciplinary settings and contributes to theoretical development.
Students' independent learning in terms of monitoring and guiding their own learning process is considered fundamental for students' achievements in higher education
The theoretical constructs of regulation strategies are commonly measured by questionnaire scales for quantification of results. The issue of validity—the degree to which the scale measures what it purports to measure, is of central concern in this practice. Messick
The predominant method for evaluating scale quality is to measure the internal scale consistency with Cronbach's alpha, which functions as a lower bound of reliability
A fairly recent scale analysis method is the Mokken scale analysis
The Inventory of Learning Styles (ILS)
Increased knowledge of regulation strategies in student groups contributes both to direct student benefit and to research purposes. Regulation strategy scales have been used as a self-diagnostic tool for stimulating reflection on learning processes and raising awareness about study strategies among teachers and students
The sample consisted of medical students participating in a clinical clerkship preparatory course. The students were approached cross-sectionally during the course, in four hospitals affiliated with the medical university of Karolinska Institutet, Sweden. A pilot was conducted in two courses in autumn 2008 (
Materials and procedure
The regulation strategy scales from the 120-item version of the Inventory of Learning Styles (ILS)
The questionnaire was first translated by the author to Swedish. Item wordings were then examined in relation to the Norwegian translation
Incomplete responses were approached differently when analysing the data from the pilot and the revised version. In the pilot, non-systematic missing values were approached with "hot deck imputation" —copying values from other respondents with similar but complete response patterns in the scale analysis in order to make full use of the small sample
Validation criteria
Internal reliability for the scales was estimated with Cronbach's alpha. Scale dimensionality was estimated by Mokken scale analysis based on Loevinger's coefficient
Reliability, as measured by Cronbach's alpha, ranged from 0.60 to 0.80 in the three main scales (Table
Exploratory scale partition resulted in three Mokken scales in the pilot (Table
Revised version
Based on student interviews, the wordings of the items were refined slightly, after which the questionnaire was distributed to the cohort of medical students taking a clinical clerkship preparatory course at four teaching hospitals. The reliability for main scales ranged from Cronbach's alpha 0.65 to 0.82 (Table
Evaluation of the established scales showed self-regulation and its subscales to be of adequate (
Six Mokken scales were extracted from the responses and compared to the theoretical factor structure (Table
No internal correlation was found between main scales (
Adequate dimensionality, divergent validity, and scale consistency contribute validity to the
Because psychometrics is about measuring the unobservable, there is not one single criterion against which we can assert fulfilment of the goal of trustworthy tools. Therefore, several aspects, taken together, form a basis for assessment and basis for further scale development. internal consistency in this sample was very good in comparison with other studies using the scales. Cronbach's alpha values for the three main scales (
Dimensionality, as assessed by Mokken scale analysis, was higher in the dataset from the revised version, although the estimates were not ideal (Table
On a more detailed level, the
With the exception of one item (22), the six exploratory Mokken scales correspond well with the theoretical partitioning established in previous research (Table
Regulation strategies as such are theorised as not only relating to individual preference, but also to the specific learning situation
As the three regulation strategies are different constructs, they are not expected to interrelate; i.e. they should display divergent validity. Nevertheless, the subscales of the
Invariant item ordering (IIO) is not a claimed property of the ILS's regulation strategy scales. Scale items contribute within the regulation strategy scales, even if not ordered in a hierarchy. Nevertheless, the test for IIO contributed additional validation data in disclosing to what extent respondents conceive the items in a similar manner. Three scales displayed adequate IIO accuracy, while the overall low IIO estimates for other scales express variation in how respondents approach the scale items (Table
Implications and further development
The gains of having an established instrument that can be used in different disciplines and in different cultural settings should be considered when choosing and assessing methods to measure regulation strategies. The continued use of these established scales allows researchers to build on prior theoretical bases. In line with the view of validity pertaining to contextualised results, complexity of the construct, and purpose of use of the results, the researcher needs to interpret results on regulation strategies in relation to the students' study situation
Scale scores should be interpreted in conjunction with other empirical data, such as course activities or other scale scores, thereby contributing to further construct validity.
Further refinement of the wording of questionnaire items is recommended in this translation, as medical students found some items hard to deal with. This work should retain content validity in adhering to the theoretical base and use reported dimensionality coefficients (
The regulation scales of the ILS measures individual study strategies relating to specific learning environments and, hence, to the culture in which they are used. These scales were developed in a non-medical education setting. Still, when used in a Swedish medical education setting, the scale structure is replicated, and internal consistencies are good. Thorough analysis of scale homogeneity identified areas where these scales can be further improved and possibly more tailored toward the professional aspects of medical education.

Shares set to rise; ECB funding eyed
European stock index futures signalled early gains on Tuesday, as the European Central Bank's upcoming liquidity injection eclipses worries over Greece while recent fears that higher oil prices could derail the global economic recovery abated as the rally in crude loses steam.
At 0725 GMT, futures for Euro STOXX 50, for Germany's DAX and for France's CAC were up 0.2-0.4 percent.
Gains could be limited, however, as Greece's debt troubles remain in the spotlight. Late on Monday, Standard & Poor's downgraded the country's long-term ratings to 'selective default', the second ratings agency to cut its rating after Athens announced a bond swap plan to reduce its debt burden.
Germany's Bundestag lower house approved the 130 billion euros ($175 billion) rescue programme for Greece, but Chancellor Angela Merkel faced a growing revolt in its coalition, and analysts said the outcome of the vote could weaken her politically and make it harder for her to agree to beef up the European bailout fund.
On Monday, European indexes ended slightly lower after a late rally in oil and defensives helped the benchmarks close well above the day's lows.
The euro zone's blue chip Euro STOXX 50 <.STOXX50E> index has gained 15 percent since mid-December, a rally fuelled in part by the ECB's ultra-cheap funding, and the benchmark is about the trigger a bullish technical signal known as a 'golden cross', as its 50-day moving average is about to break above its 200-day average.
The technical signal would confirm a shift in mid-term momentum, and usually means gains in the index six months down the road.
Chartists at Societe Generale see 2,635 points as the index's current target, although in the very short term, a return to the intermediate resistance around 2,500 points could lead to a pause or a consolidation phase, they said.
We maintain our scenario that the index could reach a peak in spring, completing the intermediate recovery phase that took shape in autumn 2011. Under such a scenario, this recovery it is likely to be followed by sharp downleg out to next autumn, they wrote in a note.
Brent crude futures extended their retreat below $124 on Tuesday, reversing a recent rally that threatened to hurt the global economy, while worries over supply from the Middle East helped stem the slide.
Also helping the mood on Tuesday morning, a report by the GfK market research institute showed German consumer morale hit a year-high heading into March, signalling that the country is weathering the impact of euro zone debt crisis and could avoid slipping into recession despite contracting last quarter.
Quarterly earnings at Germany's largest drugmaker missed expectations on low sales volumes at its chemicals division as it banks on new drug launches to lift earnings this year.
The Dutch navigation and digital map said fourth-quarter sales fell 31 percent to 357 million euros ($478.20 million), in line with forecasts.
General Motors Co
The lender is closing its Australian fixed income, commodity and currency (FICC) trading desk and moving some of the 80 affected employees and trading to desks in Singapore and London as the bank shrinks to cut its losses.
Belgian financial group KBC and Spain's top lender Banco Santander have agreed to merge their Polish units Bank Zachodni WBK and Kredyt Bank, creating a combined bank worth 5 billion euros, the pair said on Tuesday.
The French retailer stuck to its guns in its increasingly protracted wrangle with Galeries Lafayette, ruling out any sale of its share of their Monoprix joint venture and saying it would only buy out its partner at a fair price.
The main foundation shareholder is sounding out creditor banks to sell 13 percent of its controlling stake in the bank to help pay down debt, ANSA reported on Monday, citing sources.
Pioneer Investments, the asset management arm of Italian bank UniCredit, sought to assert its independence from its parent company on Monday, warning that bank owners can screw up fund managers if allowed too much control.
Germany's biggest lender is seeking a new chief executive for its Americas business after Seth Waugh decided to step down.
The call-centre group posted rises in 2011 revenue and profits that it said were in line with its targets and forecast continued organic growth and improved profitability in 2012.

|The Need for Speed [was: Cocoon performance]
|Wed, 21 Jun 2000 12:57:19 GMT
[On 19/06/2000 Stefano Mazzocchi wrote:] It's entirely up to you to decide what functionality you need today and you'll need in the future and plan your tecnology adoption plan by consequence. [Alessandro Bottoni] Well, it looks like as Cocoon is THE tool of choice of the moment for implementing a web production process that strictly separates content from style and from logic. In other words, Cocoon seems to have been designed with a large, complicated, heavy-trafficated web site in mind. At least at the conceptual level, Cocoon lends itself to this demanding application in a very natural way. So, I do not think there is room for a trade-off between performance and features. Should I have to build up a small, simple web site, aimed to a restricted audience, I would not even think to use XML and Cocoon: the "normal" Apache and HTML would be more than enough. I would rather think to use Cocoon for building a huge, complicated web site that requires a development team consisting of several professionals with different skills: content writers, web designers, programmers, multimedia specialists, database designers and so on. Something like Amazon or Yahoo!. I think it is quite unlikely that such an expensive web site would be created for just a few readers. I would rather expect a large audience and a heavy traffic on this site. A slow server would be a real problem in this scenario (I do not think Cocoon1 is not SO slow, anyway...). IMHO Cocoon2 is not just an improvement but a real need for the kind of user that can be interested in XML technology. As usual, Stefano went before critics and is already working on the right tool for the job, but I want to encourage him (and the other people involved) anyway: we really need a faster Cocoon. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Alessandro Bottoni (firstname.lastname@example.com) Web Programmer @ Think3 inc.

What if I believed? What if the preachers of love (the pastors of Tehachapi) gathered themselves together for prayer, fellowship and the common good of our city?
In Juan Carlos Ortiz's book, "Disciple," he says, "Where does it start? This love must begin among the preachers of love. The pastors have always been more divided, more concerned about their differences, than the people. So we (pastors) must set the example in every city by creating a fellowship among the pastors of the city. We can not get our congregations to love if we do not. After all, we are the Shepherds."
Can it happen here? It happened in Bakersfield. I was part of the "No Name Fellowship" where dozens of pastors and laymen gathered as one. These were leaders in the community joining together to make a difference in their city. At one point, Juan Carlos Ortiz closed the doors of the church he led and told his congregation to go out and be the church. Go and bless other churches.
When a pastor I meet with tells me that the "new pastors" in town don't want to get together, I'm amazed. I guess they don't need fellowship. I'm glad Peter, James, John and Paul didn't act like that. While teaching in Nigeria, I witnessed the Christian Association of Nigeria church leaders banded in love, pledge themselves to fight for any Christian attacked by radicals in the north. Anglican, Pentecostal and Baptist stood together ... they had no choice.
I've got an idea. Why don't we stand as brothers now before we have no choice?

Trade Show Furniture & Rentals
Trade Show Furniture: Top Picks for High Class Product Demos
At almost all trade shows, exhibitors want to spend time with their clients, and provide information pertaining to their products and services. Thus, one of the primary considerations in exhibit design should be using trade show furniture to provide comfortable gathering areas and trade show counters to display your brochures or products.
For software or online SAAS products, or perhaps products too large to bring into the show, your demo's may need to be virtual, primarily using digital displays with monitors, computers, and iPads stands. If your products are physical and small enough to be conveniently demonstrated at a show, then of course you should bring them with you!
Either way, you need to plan how to show off these products and services – most of the time, you'll need specialized trade show furniture – some trade show counter displays, a portable kiosk or counter of some sort, configured with a monitor or iPad. Sometimes the monitor won't be necessary, just a large enough counter space.
How heavy are your products? How much room do you need to show them off? How many demo stations do you need? Here at American Image Displays, we offer tradeshow furniture, counters and kiosks in all shapes, sizes and styles. Some of our shipping cases, like the Expand Podium cases, can even be converted into a piece of your trade show booth furniture! Depending on what you'll be doing at your trade show, we have options that will help everyone provide professional demonstrations.

APA Admits there is no test for "chemical imbalance"
American Psychiatric Association admitted it lied to the American Public
Biopsychiatry Illuminated
29 September 2003 Issue 61
This week, a few representative excerpts from an article that I discovered on my internet travels only a matter of days ago, concerning the area in which biopsychiatry has, it seems to me, most comprehensively misled the world at large.
Please go to the website linked to below the excerpts and read the complete article. Then you will not be bamboozled should a doctor, teacher, journalist, ad man, politician, family member, friend, some bloke in your local pub, or whoever, start waffling on at you about 'mental illness' being caused by 'chemical imbalances' in the brain. You will know better!
There Are No "Chemical Imbalances"
"The hypothetical disturbances of neurochemical function that are said to underlie "mental illness" are just that: hypothetical. No experiment has ever shown that anyone has an "imbalance" of any neurotransmitters or any other brain chemicals. Nor could any conceivable experiment demonstrate the existence of a "chemical imbalance," simply because no one, least of all the biopsychiatrists, has the slightest idea what a proper and healthy chemical "balance" would look like."
"...the views and beliefs of biopsychiatry have nothing to do with the answers to scientific questions in any case: the hunt for biological "causes" of "mental illness" is an entirely fallacious enterprise in the first place; the non- existence of data to support its assertions is quite beside the point."
"The latest edition of one pharmacology text has this to say about the status of depression as a disease: "Despite extensive efforts, attempts to document the metabolic changes in human subjects predicted by these [biological] hypotheses have not, on balance, provided consistent or compelling corroboration." This is a long-winded way of admitting that not even a scrap of evidence supports the idea that depression results from a "chemical imbalance." Yet patients are told every day - by their doctors, by the media, and by drug company advertising - that it is a proven scientific fact that depression has a known biochemical origin. It follows directly that millions of Americans are being lied to by their doctors; and people surely can't give informed consent for drug treatment when what they're being "informed" by is a fraud.... To sum up: there is no evidence whatsoever to support the view that "mental illness" is biochemical in origin; in other words, things like "Unipolar Disorder" and "Attention Deficit Disorder" simply do not exist."

The death rate by the Mental Health Industry has and is exceedingly high since the postal shootings to Columbine HS along with the 34 dead at Virginia Tech and the individual deaths and violence in the public sector to the military considering there is no model model, no evidence based medicine and no test for chemical imbalance of the brain to which the industry admitted lying in 2004. Further there is no imaging device to determine a defective brain from a normal thinking brain.
The Mental Health is based on hearsay and highly political since the Bush Sr presidency and with the introduction of prozac and other mind medications with bogus, made to order diagnoses.(Research the amino acid Tryptophan)
Parents need to watch the mental health industry as the industry has been reckless in the school system with the Republican program called IDEA and "No child left behind" along with "Teenscreen". Note the taking of the school system with principles who have a degree in the mental health profession..
Death, violence, erratic behavior and the suicide by mind drugs
The (APA) DSM-V is the future version of the Mein Kampf.
Bombs and bullets will be replaced with mind drugs and psychotherapy (false memory) in future generations.
That's certainly what Aldus Huxley predicted with his fictional Soma and it came true

Psychiatric Diagnosis: Too Little Science, Too Many Conflicts of Interest [i]
Paula J. Caplan, Ph.D.
Harvard University
The Concerns
There is a lot of pain and suffering in the world, and it is tempting to believe that the mental health community knows how to help. It is widely believed, both by mental health professionals and the general population, that if only a person gets the right psychiatric diagnosis, the therapist will know what kind of measures will be the most helpful. Unfortunately, that is not usually the case, and getting a psychiatric diagnosis can often create more problems than it solves, including a lifetime of being labeled, difficulties with obtaining affordable (or any) health insurance (due to now having a pre-existing condition), loss of employment, loss of child custody, the overlooking of physical illnesses and injuries because of everything being attributed to psychological factors, and the loss of the right to make decisions about ones medical and legal affairs. The creation and use of psychiatric diagnosis, unlike, for instance, psychiatric drugs, is not overseen by any regulatory body, and rarely does anyone raise the question of what role the assignment of a psychiatric label has played in creating problems for individuals.[ii]
The Problematic History
These serious limitations have not prevented the authors of the American Psychiatric Associations (APA) Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM), sometimes known as the therapists Bible, from making expansive claims about their knowledge and authority and wielding enormous power to decide who will and will not be called mentally ill and what the varieties of alleged mental illness will be. The DSMs current edition is called DSM-IV-TR, and it was preceded by the original DSM (in 1952), then DSM-II (1968), DSM-III (1980), DSM-III-R (Third Edition Revised)(1987), DSM-IV (1994), and DSM-IV-TR (2000). The DSM-V is currently in preparation and slated for 2013 publication. Each time a new edition appears, the media ask whichever psychiatrist is the lead editor why a new edition was necessary, and like clockwork, each editor replies that it was because the previous edition really wasnt scientific (Caplan, 1995). And each time a new edition appears, it contains many more categories than does the previous one. For instance, DSM-III-R contained 297 categories, and DSM-IV contained 374 (Caplan, 1995).
I served as an advisor to two of the DSM-IV committees, before resigning due to serious concerns after witnessing how fast and loose they play with the scientific research related to diagnosis (Caplan, 1995). The DSM is widely used, not only in the mental health system, but also in general medical practice, in schools, and in the courts. I have been involved since 1985 in trying to alert both therapists and the public to the manuals unscientific nature and the dangers that believing in its objectivity poses. Since then, I have watched with interest a national trend toward gradually increasing openness to the idea that psychiatric diagnosis (A)is largely unscientific,(B)is highly subjective and political, and (C)can cause untold harm, ranging from the patients lowered self-confidence to loss of custody of children to loss of health insurance (because any psychiatric label can be considered evidence of a pre-existing condition) to loss of the right to make decisions about their medical and legal affairs.

Inside the Battle to Define Mental Illness
Every so often Al Frances says something that seems to surprise even him. Just now, for instance, in the predawn darkness of his comfortable, rambling home in Carmel, California, he has broken off his exercise routine to declare that there is no definition of a mental disorder. Its bullshit. I mean, you just cant define it. Then an odd, reflective look crosses his face, as if hes taking in the strangeness of this scene: Allen Frances, lead editor of the fourth edition of the American Psychiatric Associations Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (universally known as the DSM-IV), the guy who wrote the book on mental illness, confessing that these concepts are virtually impossible to define precisely with bright lines at the boundaries. For the first time in two days, the conversation comes to an awkward halt.
Pasted from < http://www.wired.com/magazine/2010/12/ff_dsmv... ;
There are no genetic tests, no brain scans, blood tests, chemical imbalance tests or X-rays that can scientifically/medically prove that any psychiatric disorder is a medical condition.

Inspired by a recent trip to India, I saw a beautiful handmade book sleeve that I could easily adapt to be a new home for my iPad. I found some gorgeous fabric whilst travelling there and thought it would be a fitting fabric to use on this quilted iPad sleeve.
What you need
Card to make your template
External Fabric (preferabley patterned) 1 x 30x27cm and 1 x 21x27cm
Internal fabric (plain) 1 x 30x27cm and 1 x 21x27cm
Wadding Fabric to create quilted look
Sewing Machine
Trim Fabric
2 x Buttons
1) Measure out the templates based on measurements of the iPad itself. I measured mine as above. You should have 2 templates, one of the base of the sleeve (which is longer and will fold over to form the flap) and a second template for upper part of the sleeve (on which the buttons will be sewn onto). Allow 1 cm around the edge of the template to allow for where your trim fabric will be sewn.
2) Mark onto the fabric the outline of your template and cut 4 pieces total. 2 x from the external fabric and 2 x from the internal fabric. As noted above this should give you a smaller and larger piece from each type of fabric.
3) Use your templates to also cut out the wadding for the quilting.
4) Pin the wadding in between the external and internal fabric in each size. Using masking tape, mark out on the fabric how and where you would like your quilting to run. I stitched mine diagonally and then horizontally using the pattern in the fabric as markers. Make sure when stitching the quilting (which I did on my machine, but you can do by hand) that the stitch lines are as straight as you can get them and evenly spaced.
5) Once each section has been quilted, you will need to add trim to smaller piece where the entrance to the sleeve will be. For the trim fabric I used a run of cotton that measured 4cm in width and then the length of the full outline of the sleeve plus the little bit of trim needed for the entrance. I ironed the trim down the middle allowing 2cm each side and then folded the fabric in on itself again to create a 1cm binding on each side.
6) Sew the 2 pieces together to form the sleeve as pictured.
7)You then need to add the trim. This is the tricky part as you need to ensure that your stitch line is not only clean, but the trim is easily 1cm on both sides of the sleeve. It's best to pin this in place. Take your time doing this bit as patience really pays off.
8 ) Once you have sewn the trim fabric all the way round the sleeve, neatly finish it off.
9) I used the remaining trim fabric to make button loops that I sewed by hand on the flap of the sleeve. I used these to help place my buttons, of which I also hand stitched onto the smaller section of the sleeve (as pictured).
10) A quick press with the iron and sleeve is ready for it's new life…as a home for my iPad.

IMI CCI India manufactures first 1050MW turbine bypass valve
Division:IMI Critical Engineering
Date:May 2015
IMI CCI Sri City has successfully manufactured its first turbine bypass valves for a 1050MW supercritical power plant, after the Sri City manufacturing facility successfully passed an audit by the commissioning company. The valves are the first produced in India for a 1050MW thermal power project.
The Japanese engineering, procurement and construction company (EPC) for the project chose IMI CCI Japan to supply eight sets of low pressure turbine bypass isolation and control valves. While the assembly and testing of the turbine bypass valves was undertaken at IMI CCI Japan, IMI CCI Sri City was chosen as the manufacturing facility for the valve body (including all welding and desuperheater), fully machined internals and the bonnet.
Both IMI CCI Japan and IMI CCI Sri City collaborated closely during the manufacturing cycle to ensure the project was completed and shipped on time, to meet the customer's specification.
