Business Flow Diagram
A graphical notation technique for understanding each task that makes up the business process and the relationship between them, including order of implementation. Q-BPM is used to evaluate internal controls based on the SOX Act and for process management by computer recognition.
Business Process Diagram (BPD). Business Flow Diagram (BFD).
Summary of Business Flow Diagram
Multiple tasks, multiple organizations and persons (actors) and multiple resources (including information) often connect to make up one "task." The Business Flow Diagram uses simple diagrams to represent these relationships (order of tasks and responsible actors, input, timing etc.) in graphic form. There are numerous graphical notation techniques (for example, rules regarding what diagram signifies what). In Japan, textbooks for diagnosing small and medium size corporations have introduced the followings:
- JIS flowcharts (JISX0121) (Programming language education)
|The SOX Act
|Federal legislation in the United States, which imposes stricter guarantees of the accuracy and transparency of corporate accounting processes and financial reporting.
- Sannodai flowcharts (Operational process manual)
- NOMA flowcharts
- Japan Management Association flowcharts
However, recently there has emerged a growing need for the Business Flow Diagram as an in-house visualization tool for understanding internal controls in the internal control reporting systems based on the SOX Act, and for a ready-to-use document format for information systems development (particularly, BPMS), and a range of notation techniques have been weeded out while others are evolving in the midst of worldwide standardization. Listed below are the main notation techniques.
|Internal Control Reporting Systems
|A system whereby management evaluates internal controls for financial statements, and the results of the evaluation are audited by a chartered accountant, to try to secure trust in financial statements that are publicly released.
- IDEF 0 (IDEF ZERO) (Since the 1970s, at the time of introducing the ISO9000 etc.)
- EPC (Event-driven Process Chain) (standard for the ERP package SAP etc.)
- UML Activity Diagram (systems design)
The Business Flow Diagram is also referred to as "a flowchart," "a business process diagram," "a process model diagram," as well as simply "a process diagram." There is no particular fixed expression. In official J-SOX documentation from the Financial Services Agency, it is referred to as a "Business Flow Diagram." In the specification documents for BPMN it is defined as a Business Process Diagram (BPD).
International Standards Bodies
OMG and WfMC are the main bodies involved with the standardization of graphical notation for business flow diagrams. The diagram below illustrates developments in the main standards bodies.
- OMG (Object Management Group): BPMN
- WfMC (Workflow Management Coalition): XPDL
- OASIS (Organization for the Advancement of Structured Information Standards): BPEL
- W3C (World Wide Web Consortium): HTML, XML
The Relationship between Business Flow Diagrams and BPM
One of the goals of introducing BPM is to strengthen internal controls. The SOX Act and corresponding legislation in many countries require that business content data and risk evaluation data be submitted in the form of documentation. The J-SOX legislation recommends that corporations submit three sets of data: a business flow diagram, a business description document and responses to risk and control. The Business Flow Diagram can be used to create a visual understanding of the flow of business processes. Consequently, the Business Flow Diagram has an important role in strengthening internal controls and it is also extremely important for the implementation of BPM.

Ford Transit Connect EV Battery Maker Azure Dynamics Files for Bankruptcy
Tiffany Kaiser
March 28, 2012 11:19 AM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
The bankruptcy filing caused a halt in Ford Transit Connect production
While the electric vehicle (EV) industry seems to be moving forward in many ways, it has also experienced some setbacks over the last year. Unfortunately, many of these setbacks involve EV batteries, and now, Ford is in the same boat.
Azure Dynamics, a British Columbia-based EV firm, has filed for bankruptcy in the United States. Azure Dynamics is responsible for installing
the battery electric powertrain in Ford's Transit Connect
Azure Dynamics filed for bankruptcy on Monday, and was forced to lay off 120 employees worldwide. Layoffs occurred in Boston, Michigan, Canada and the United Kingdom.
In addition to layoffs, Azure Dynamics said it will no longer proceed with a planned stock offering because the company just doesn't have the liquidity to move forward with an appeal of a ruling that opposed its planned stock offering.
"We wish to convey to the company's stakeholders our terrible sadness at this outcome," said Azure Dynamics in a statement.
Azure Dynamics received a four-year contract from the Government Services Administration for about $112 million. The contract gave the U.S. military and government agencies the ability to order the
Transit Connect EV
, and Azure said it had about 2,200 orders. In addition, Azure was attracted to Michigan because of the state tax credit, which is over $1.7 million over a seven-year period, and an 11-year local tax abatement approved by the city of Oak Park valued at $55,400.
On Ford's side of the situation, the bankruptcy means having to stop production of the Transit Connect EV, and it's currently unclear if this situation will be temporary or permanent.
So far, Ford has produced 500 EV Ford Transit Connect vehicles since 2010, when it began its partnership with Azure. Despite Azure's recent news of bankruptcy, Ford is standing behind the company.
"Our priority is to ensure that Azure's Transit Connect Electric customers continue to have support throughout their ownership experience," said Wes Sherwood, Ford spokesman.
Azure definitely isn't the only EV battery company (or alternative energy company) to file for bankruptcy within the past year. In January,
EV battery maker Ener1 filed for bankruptcy
after its subsidiary, EnerDel, received a $118 million Department of Energy grant in August 2009. Other EV battery issues that have occurred recently include General Motors' Chevrolet Volt, which experienced a series of battery fires last year, and problems with Fisker Automotive's Karma plug-in hybrid batteries, which will be replaced entirely by A123 Systems Inc. for $55 million.
Other failed alternative energy companies that have filed for bankruptcy include
solar panel company Solyndra
, which received a $535 million loan guarantee from the government despite warnings of Solyndra's viability, and
Beacon Power
, which received nearly $43 million from the government in August 2010 and filed for bankruptcy in November 2011.

The Interview Of The LettersTrick brain teasers appear difficult at first, but they have a trick that makes them really easy.
An interview was conducted to test the structure, usage and competence of all the English Letters. To do this, each letter was interviewed for one hour in sequence and the interview was expected to take a whole day. Letter A was the first, then B, C, D ... till letter X which rounded off the interview. Why was letter Y and Z left out?
HintTicktock Ticktock, goes the sound of the clock.
AnswerThere are 24 hours in a day and 26 Letters. Each letter is allotted one hour. Hence, letter Y and Z could not be interviewed because both exceeded the 24 hours Standard Time. Letter Y and Z are 25th and 26th respectively.
What Next?

Did you know?
The ancient Magaliesberg mountains north of Johannesburg contain 3-million-year-old hominid fossils. .
Johannesburg might be something of an urban jungle, but it also has some wonderful natural attractions, adding much to the fascinating nature of this city.
The land on which Johannesburg is built was once grassland, but is now the biggest urban forest in the world, with over 10 million trees in its city, gardens, 600 parks, open spaces and suburbs.
The Walter Sisulu National Botanical Garden in Kloofendal conserves a piece of the original grassland as well as succulents and ferns. It has over 120 bird species, including the only pair of nesting Verreaux's (black) eagles in Johannesburg.
The Johannesburg Botanical Gardens in Emmarentia is famed for its Rose Garden and the numerous waterfowl found in the reed beds of Emmarentia Dam (a great spot for an impromptu picnic). Another worthwhile spot is Suikerbosrand Nature Reserve on the way to Heidelberg: this reserve covers over 13 000 hectares and has excellent hiking trails as well as an abundant antelope and bird population.
Just as close to the city centre are the Melville Koppies, hills where an Iron Age village and smelting works are to be found. You can enjoy guided walks in this undeveloped natural area.
Further out of town, it's a good idea to make your way to the Sterkfontein Valley and the Cradle of Humankind - one of the world's most significant palaeontological sites. Take a trip underground and visit the exquisite Wonder Cave and while you're in the area enjoy a trip to the Rhino and Lion Nature Reserve to see the big cats.
The Magaliesberg mountains and the watersport mecca of Hartbeespoort Dam are also accessible from Johannesburg in little under an hour's drive.
Travel tips & Planning info
Who to contact
Johannesburg Tourism Association
Tel: +27 (0)11 214 0700
How to get here
Johannesburg is easily accessible by plane, train and car. International and domestic flights land and depart from the very busy O R Tambo International Airport on the outskirts of the city.
Around the area
Make time to visit the townships of Soweto and Alexandra, take in a Johannesburg nightclub, enjoy the restaurants and the late night vibes, and head out of town to see the Cradle of Humankind, the Magaliesberg and the Hartbeespoort Dam.
Tours to do
Tours of Soweto, Gold Reef City, Constitution Hill, and the Apartheid Museum. Don't miss a trip to Maropeng and the Cradle of Humankind, you won't be disappointed.
Get around
Self-drive is always best to explore at your own pace, and then on foot.
What to pack
Johannesburg has exceptionally fine weather - mild and temperate in summer (October to March) and chilly winters (May to September). But even in winter, the days are usually fine and sunny.
Where to stay
B&Bs, home-stays, township guesthouses, country lodges, world-class city hotels...you name it, Johannesburg has it.
What's happening
There are winter concerts held at both the Walter Sisulu National Botanical Gardens and the Emmarentia Botanical Gardens.

While the rest of the country swelters, we've been enjoying one of the most gloriously mild and sunny summers I've experienced in more than two decades in San Francisco. Normally around now, the city is covered with a heavy, wet fog, and blustery winds slap sheets of it in your face like a cold washcloth. Instead, once the morning fog pulls back, it's been downright nice, even occasionally what passes for hot around here. Like, in the 70s.
If you're in the scorched center or eastern parts of the company, maybe you're looking for some of that cold washcloth treatment to cut the edge. I can't deliver the fog to you, but I can offer you a solution that's almost as good.
Think about it. When else do you sit around sweating in unreasonable heat and humidity? That's right, in a sauna or steam room. And what refreshes in said environment? Spa water. Only, we're talking summer here, and mere water just ain't gonna cut it this time. No, clearly this calls for vodka. Ice. Cold. Vodka.
If you've never made a vodka infusion, it's simple as can be. Just take your ingredients, chop them up, and steep them in your booze for a few days or so. Practically anything is fair game. You'll end up with a gorgeously aromatic and flavorful tipple that doesn't have the chemical aftertaste of store-bought "flavored" vodkas.
Not surprisingly, strawberry vodka tastes like strawberries. Vanilla vodka tastes like vanilla. But cucumber? Cucumber vodka tastes like pure, cool refreshment. Like an ocean breeze wafting across a freshly-watered lawn. Like manna from heaven when summer's breath of hell bears down on you.
It's not just the naturally refreshing flavor of cucumber, which is synonymous with the optimal state of coolness. The real secret here is that the cucumber imparts just enough water to the vodka so that, when brought down to a stone-cold chill, tiny sheets of ice crash on your tongue when you take a sip. A tiny avalanche on your parched palate. Take that, heat wave.
Cucumber Vodka
1 medium cucumber
1 750-ml bottle 80 proof vodka
Peel the cucumber. Cut it in half, and scoop the seeds out with a spoon. Discard the seeds and skins. Cut the cucumber into chunks, and put in a glass or other non-reactive container (about 1.5 liter). Pour the vodka over. Seal, and give it a shake. Store in a cool, dark place, shaking daily, for 3-7 days, until it reaches the flavor you want. Strain with a coffee filter, and pour into a sealable bottle. Place in freezer. Pull shots at the hottest time of day.

There is still more than 14 months to go before Sir Mervyn King leaves the Bank of England, but he is already in danger of appearing a lame duck as the race to succeed begins in earnest.
Today the FT reported that Mark Carney, the governor of the Bank of Canada, has been approached in relation to the job by a member of the Bank's court, its governing body, having spoken to three people involved in the process. Mr Carney declined to comment. The Bank of Canada said the report was not accurate.
The FT also reported that the Treasury wants Charlie Bean, deputy governor for monetary policy, to remain in post after his term expires in June 2013 to provide some continuity as the top echelons of the Bank are rearranged. No one has denied this part of the story and Mr Bean has told colleagues he is willing to accept any offer to stay on for an interim period. So where do these events put the runners, the riders and those subtly touting themselves for the job. Read more

Kenzo Spring 2012
Note to heritage labels looking to breathe new life into a brand: Hire a couple curators of cool, and hope they come with a merry band of friends. But don't move too fast. The only two people who fit that particular description are off the market for now.
Humberto Leon and Carol Lim, the retail mavericks behind Opening Ceremony, took over as creative directors of Kenzo in July with the intent to restore the label to its original vibrancy. The presentation they put on Sunday was a great way to start. Not only was the setting extraordinarily charming—when you walked into the courtyard of their offices on rue Vivienne (coincidentally down the street from Takada's first store) you saw models in all the windows waving hello and giant block K, E, N, Z, and O letters lying about—but the clothes were, too. It would have been very easy for Lim and Leon to dig deep into the Kenzo archives, repurpose a print, update a shape, and call it good—or, conversely, get mired in the history and turn out something heavily retro. But instead, the duo took the spirit of the house—color, print, and proportion—and made it their own by designing delightful new patterns (birds and fishnet) and creating pieces that were sporty and modern, but also retained a little of that 1970s Parisian chic. You could immediately imagine girls here or in New York pulling apart looks and wearing the blue fishnet-print flak jacket (or any of the two-toned utility jackets for that matter) with jeans or over a summer dress. A similarly patterned orange-and-green skirt was super simple but also super stylish. The wide-leg pants—like, really wide leg—at first looked a little silly, but relative to the scale of the building, the stage, and Leon's thoughts on proportion, they made sense.
As for that merry band of friends, well, Chloë Sevigny modeled the last look, a blue button-up jumpsuit, Jason Schwartzman did the music (a recording of the Talking Heads' "Wild Wild Life" that segued into Cyndi Lauper's "Girls Just Want to Have Fun," with Schwartzman on drums and other musicians playing along during the presentation), and Spike Jonze filmed it all. What was especially endearing was how invested in it all of them appeared to be. Schwartzman looked really connected to those drums, and Jonze quizzed Solange Knowles's son Jules to make sure he was having fun. "Was it less boring than a normal fashion show," Jonze asked Jules. "It was? That's good."
As Lim said, "There's really only one way we know how to work, which is to give personal perspective and be excited by everything we do. Hopefully it showed." Big time.


text: Like several of Jackson's classic guitar models, Jackson bass guitars date back to the early-mid 1980s. Around the same time that the Kelly™, King V™, Soloist™ and Dinky™ guitars first appeared, so did the Concert™ Bass—a gracefully simple instrument with fast playability and seismic tone that still anchors Jackson's bass lineup to this day. Several of metal's most formidable bassists have been honored with signature Jackson bass models, including Hatebreed's Chris Beattie, Lamb of God's John Campbell and Megadeth's David Ellefson, and Jackson continues to offer bass guitar models of distinctive style and powerful tone and performance.

WINYATES residents are being urged to attend the next PACT (Partners and Communities Together) meeting after invitations were sent out to homes in the area.
It will take place at 10am tomorrow, Saturday, January 19, at the grass area near the footbridge by Dolben Lane.
Winyates officer PC Paul Kennedy said: "This style of street meeting has previously proved very successful as a lot of people have attended who wouldn't normally come to the formal meetings. It is all about taking PACT to a wider cross-section of people and trying to ensure that the priorities we deal with are representative of the community as a whole."

Avon Skin So Soft Original Bath Oil Reviews
The Ultimate in Bath MoistureWhen I first started selling this in high school, I was seventeen. I began to love taking baths with this, but hurriedly cleaned away the ring left around the tub (it came in collectible decanters at that time). I thought that it was removing some imperceptible dirt I didn't know I had! I can laugh now, but I was horrified then. Use it for the silkiest skin imaginable, but clean the tub thoroughly afterward to prevent problems. — 4 years, 3 months agoGigiSD | 1102 reviews

Good, but...This is a great moisturizer, a little goes a long way. It's also a great price. i'm not very fond of the smell though. — 6 years, 3 months agoMissPurple | 611 reviews
Uhhh - Strange OilThe scent of this oil was odd but I helped out an Avon distributor by buying it. I see why it's supposedly an insect repellent and it really does smell, look, and feel like something from the sixties. I used it after shaving to moisturize my legs and it worked satisfactorily but after reading the ingredients, I'm dismayed. I won't purchase it again. — 8 years, 4 months agoleo1999 | 678 reviews
Skin So SmootheThis is a great way to make your skin feel soft and the oil smells so good. If you need a little pampering, I love to use this fragrant oil in the bath to relax and refresh my skin. It feels so great and makes your skin smell good and feel soft throughout the day. This is a perfect cleanser and moisturizer. — 9 years, 2 months agoStef42678 | 500 reviews

Here's How Conservative Media Are Distorting China's Revised Coal Data To Undermine U.N. Climate Talks
Research ››› ››› DENISE ROBBINS
The New York Times recently reported that China had released new data showing that the country has burned significantly more coal in recent years than previously thought. Conservative media are alleging that China is "lying" and using this news to undermine the upcoming United Nations climate conference in Paris, where nations hope to reach an international climate change agreement. But experts say China's revised data, which has been known to policymakers for months, is a result of improved accounting -- not deception -- and has already been incorporated into the international negotiations.

Canada's Irish tour will officially commence tomorrow with its final Intercontinental Cup fixture of the year. The regular entanglement with highly rated Ireland is one of Canada's best rivalries on the associate tour.
Follow the match with Cricinfo's LIVE coverage starting Tuesday morning at 5:30am EDT.
Interim Coach Ingleton Liburd was positive heading into tomorrow's contest from Observatory Lane.
" The team is in good spirits and confident going into the match … We had a good outing in the warm up match which helped the team acclimatize to the wet and cool conditions in Ireland. "
Canadian captain Amarbir (Jimmy) Hansra concurred with his coach's positive assessment.
" We're upbeat and ready for the Irish. The conditions suit our swing bowlers and we have the ability to take twenty Irish wickets. "
Hansra continued and discussed the depth of experience in his squad.
" I'm happy with the young squad and its mix of senior experience in bowling and batting respectively. Everyone is focused and geared up for the series and we will put forth our best effort. "
Canada's pace battery will be without veteran seamer Henry Osinde who was unable to depart with the touring party due to an unspecified travel document issue. As such, the responsibility of securing Canada's bowling fortunes will be on the shoulders of Khurram Chohan and Harvir Baidwan. Promising Canadian u19 seamer Manny Aulakh is expected to make his first class debut and along with all-rounder Rizwan Cheema, will round out the seam quartet.
Ruvindu Gunasekera (59) and Hiral Patel (36) both got starts in Canada's warm up match vs Leprechauns CC and will look to continue the trend.
09.12.11 | 10:00am EDT | ICUP preparations for both teams have been affected by adverse weather conditions. Unusually high winds have meant practice was conducted indoors. FORECAST
09.09.11 | 1:00pm EDT | Canadian paceman Henry Osinde was unable to depart with the team from Toronto on Thursday evening due to an unspecified travel document issue.

What is Community EngagementPage address: http://www.mnsu.edu/engagement/whatiscommunityengagement.html
Overview: What is Community Engagement?
Community engagement is a type of public participation that involves people in problem-solving or decision-making processes. It is a multifaceted, ongoing process.
The MSU, Mankato Community Engagement Office (CEO) strives to connect the talents, passions, and volunteer efforts of our students and other members of the MSU, Mankato community with our greater-Mankato community agencies and organizations, which are in need of volunteers to assist them with the accomplishment of their mission and goals for helping community members in need of assistance. Our emphases are on upon social justice, building trust, outreach, connections between people and resources, the development of new leaders, and the integration of personal and professional goals.
Service-Learning is...
Service-learning is a teaching and learning strategy that integrates meaningful community service with instruction and reflection to enrich the learning experience, teach civic responsibility, and strengthen communities. (from Learn and Serve America's National Service-Learning Clearinghouse)
Community Engagement is...
Community engagement, through the merging of the academic-based and practicing members of communities, encompasses "groups of people who share a concern, a set of problems, or a passion about a topic, and who deepen their knowledge and expertise in these areas by interacting on an on-going basis."
—Wenger, McDermott and Snyder
We are designing engaging programs to capture students from the moment of first interaction with MSU, Mankato and greater-Mankato area community resources. A community-engagement / service-learning fair is held near the beginning of each semester to acquaint our campus-volunteers with opportunities which exist for service within the various community agencies and organizations. Other special community-engagement programs are being formulated combine the talents of academic students and professionals with the community agencies, organizations, and practicing professionals.
Developing true partnerships between professional educators, students and community professionals is essential to the community engagement program. As Abraham Lincoln reminded us, "I like to see a man proud of the place in which he lives. I like to see a man live so that his place will be proud of him."
"One should never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it's the only thing that ever has." – Margaret Mead
We recognize that the key is not only what the student is doing, but also what the professional administrators/educators/staff members and their community-partner professionals are doing that will lead the students to engage in those activities and dialogues which will result in the desired outcomes. "The ultimate expression of generosity is not in the giving of what you have, but in the giving of who you are."
—Johnetta B. Cole

Notice that ecosystems have to do with living organisms. There is absolutely no such thing as a "hardware ecosystem." Idiot marketing people need to stop abusing the english language. There are plenty of ways to describe what they are attempting to describe. We don't need to destroy an otherwise good and purposeful word by putting it so out of context.

Commodus - Thursday, May 25, 2006 - linkTrue, Apple grabbed the basic idea from Konfabulator (though that in turn was loosely inspired by Apple's own little utilites from way back when). But it wasn't until after widgets were known to be a feature of Tiger that Microsoft 'mysteriously' changed its sidebar concept to behave much more like Dashboard or Konfabulator. Reply

It is clear that everyone has their fair share of pet peeves and last Fall I came to the realization that the list of things that annoy me is longer than I expected.
Just when you think you've reached your limit, some new trend or new annoyance twirls in….and that brings us to the part where we welcome Winter.
This whole polar vortex malarkey has really been whipping everyone's ass into shape this season. The freezing rain and high psychotic winds and snow was cute for about 10.5 minutes.


text: cozzie 5029 Report post Posted January 5, 2013 Hi, I'm at the point of implementing alpha blending (shader) to be able to use transparant/translucent textures, grass etc. For now I didn't use any object/ mesh sorting because I didn't see the advantage yet. But.. when using alpha blending, I've learned that I have to render objects (or better triangles?) from back to front for the expected result. A few questions I'd like to hear your opinion on; - is it worthwhile to render meshes/ objects based on world positition Z (initial worldpos vector * actual world matrix)? (by the CPU, finding an efficient way of looping through objects, materials, effects, entities) - what would you suggest to sort objects on when it comes to alpha blending? The direction I'm following now is: - update worldmatrix of each mesh each frame - multiply by initial worldpos, resulting in a vector with 'Z' value - use Z value to render 'regular' objects, front to back (increase performance on rasterization/ pixel shader) - use Z value to render 'blended' objects, back to front Any hints or pointers are really appreciated. Will also be quite a challenge too find the best way to combine the 'loops' (materials, effects, effects, subobjecs/entities). 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Be inspired by the best creative work from around the world.
Ogilvy believes best orchestrating principle for a brand is more than a big idea - it's a big ideal. An open-source mission or set of beliefs which both a company and its customers share and which enable both to work together towards a higher common end. Similarly, there is only one thing more precious than individual talent - and that is the environment which allows many different talents to work effectively together. The greatest planner in the world is worthless if he cannot work alongside an equally great creative team in an entirely different discipline. It is our cultural consistency which - uniquely - allows us to do this
Ogilvy has appointed Gerald Lewis to the role of Worldwide Executive Creative Director for Dove. He will join Ogilvy immediately and report to Ogilvy's Worldwide ECD for Unilever, Andre Laurentino.
Lewis will be responsible for driving the creative vision and overall creative quality of Ogilvy's work for the Dove brand. He will be based in London, which is the Global hub for Dove and replace Maureen Shirreff, who returns to Ogilvy Chicago where she joined two years ago.
Lewis began his career at Ogilvy in New York, where his work for IBM and The New York Times quickly landed him on the Art Directors Club's 'Young Guns' List. Over an 18-year career he has worked at agencies including BBH, McCann Erickson and 72andSunny, on brands including Axe, Microsoft, Levi's and Johnnie Walker.
In 2010, Lewis set up boutique creative studio Grand, launching new brands for the Whole Foods market and creating multi-channel communications for the city of San Francisco, Visa, Google and Microsoft. While at Grand, Lewis also worked on the launch of Unilever backed skincare brand Own, creating fully integrated communications, web and app design. In 2014, Grand merged with John McNeil Studio, where, until recently, Lewis held the position of Executive Creative Director.
Andre Laurentino said, "The Dove brand is defining for Ogilvy. Gerald is exactly the kind of person we need to help us continue to deliver world-class, highly integrated communications. His craft is impeccable and his wide range of skills makes him the perfect example of a new breed of creatives: a tech enthusiast who can shape and create a brand's entire world. I'm so proud to have him in our team. "
Lewis commented, "I can't begin to explain how excited I am to be back at Ogilvy. It's rare to have an opportunity to contribute to a brand as successful and iconic as Dove. Ogilvy is where I've done my best work, and I plan to continue where I left off."
Lewis's impressive awards haul includes multiple Cannes Lions and a gold Effie for Axe. He has picked up further awards across a range of brands from The One Show, The Clios, D&AD and Communication Arts. His work is included in the permanent collection of the Victoria and Albert Museum and his photography has been featured in the American Photography Photo Annual, as well as being published in The New York Times.

The 12-year-old, of Cat Hill, East Barnet, was handpicked out of 2,000 others to star in the Channel 4 documentary Child Genius.
He did not realise his talents until starting Year 7 at the Wisdom School, in Haringey, last year and his teachers began giving him work aimed at students much older than him.
At the age of six, he was diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome, a form of autism, so his parents, Fatih and Ilknur Kahraman spent five long years helping their son overcome his difficulties.
So when Mrs Kahraman, a charity worker, received a phone call from Channel 4 producers saying his teachers had recommended he audition for the show, she tried to remain "realistic".
She said: "We thought he was lucky, so we tried to stay grounded about the whole thing. We knew he was bright, but didn't realise just how clever he was.
"We tried to keep him grounded about the whole thing.
"When it dawned on us that this was really happening, we realised his abilities had been overshadowed by his Asperger's."
As part of the show, due to be aired on Sunday, Cuneyd had to carry out tasks relating to logic, verbal reasoning, memory and maths, competing against ten other people.
For four months, a camera crew followed the family around to get a feel of their day-to-day activities and family dynamic. He also spent hours revising for the various tasks set.
But Cuneyd remains tight lipped about whether he made it through to the finals and says viewers will have to watch the show on Sunday to find out.
His mother added: "We tell him his intelligence is a blessing, but only if he does some good with it. It's not for personal gain, he's been given this gift to help other people.
"We always try to encourage him to do charity work, or help his elderly neighbours, for that very reason.
"He has to appreciate what he's got. He can't take it for granted. We try to keep him humble."
Instead of going into Year 8 next year with the rest of his age group, he is skipping a grade to go straight into Year 9.
Cuneyd, who dreams of becoming a physicist or biological artificial intelligence scientist to cure paralysis, also enjoys building electronic devices in his spare time.
So far, he has created a racetrack out of kinetics as well as a motor, and is currently creating a crane.
But he also loves playing video games with brother, Tarik, ten.
He said: "I didn't realise I was this clever. When I was younger, I robbed my mum of her dream of reading me bed-time stories because I used to bring encyclopaedias home instead.
"Being on the show was really cool, and really fun."

I stopped by the local BBQ Galore store Saturday intending to buy another Weber 22 ½ to replace my old one. To make a long story short, I bought a new cooking grate and fire grate for the old Weber, and a new BabyQ gas grill. I thought it was kind if whimpy, but my wife thought it was cute. I have wanted a small gas grill for those week day dinners for two people. I am totally impressed. Last night I did a couple of salmon steaks and tonight some chicken thighs. (8 fit nicely on the grill.) The thighs were nicely grill marked and done in 21 minutes, only 3 minutes longer than over charcoal in the old Weber.
The thing does have "porcelain-enameled, cast-iron cooking grates." They seem to work just fine, but will need some tender care. I am hesitant to use the old grill scraper on them, and believe they will need a good washing every week or so. Anyone have any recommendations for their care?
Here are a couple of pictures:

Hometown: Lynchburg, Va / Santa Monica, Calif..
Occupation: Mel (Writer, Clergyman); Mike (Writer, Producer, Actor);
Relationship: Father/Son
Mike and Mel had a pretty typical family life until Mike was 11 years old, which is when Mel told the family that he was gay. Mel and Mikes mother remained married until Mike and his sister, Erinn, went to college. Mel is now married to his life partner of 27 years, Gary Nixon.
Mike works as a writer, director and actor in Los Angeles. His writing credits include the feature films "Nacho Libre" and "School of Rock," in which he also starred opposite Jack Black and Sarah Silverman, as well as the television series "Pasadena." Mike and Mel are eager to spend some quality time racing around the globe. Mike describes himself as entertaining, thoughtful and ridiculously pale. These two might not be the most physical team on the Race, but theyll surely compensate with their wit and communication skills.
Mel, a gay-rights activist, has worked as a writer, professor, filmmaker and a pastor and is eager to have a once in a lifetime experience with his youngest child. Hes confident that his people skills will give him an advantage over some of the other Racers. He describes himself as energetic, caring and passionate and enjoys scuba diving and racquetball. When asked who he would model his style of game play after, he pointed to Season 7 winners Uchenna and Joyce, while Mike will model his game play after the "never say die" attitude of Charla and Mirna.
Mike and Mel are well-traveled, opinionated and huge fans of the Race.

First New "Yield To Pedestrians" Safety Signs
Office of Public Affairs
12000 Government Center Parkway, Suite 551
Fairfax, VA 22035-0065
April 4, 2003
First New "Yield To Pedestrians" Safety
To be Installed Tuesday, April 15
Fairfax County Officials, including Board of Supervisors Chairman
Katherine K. Hanley, Mount Vernon District Supervisor Gerry Hyland, Lee
District Supervisor Dana Kauffman and Chief of Police Thomas Manger, will
be on hand Tuesday, April 15, at 10 a.m. to install Fairfax County's
first "Yield to Pedestrians in Crosswalk $100-$500 Violation
Fine" signs which cite the newly increased fine for non-compliance
with the law in these specially marked intersections. This ceremony will
take place on the trail along Richmond Highway at the northwest sector of
the intersection of Richmond Highway and Sherwood Hall Lane. Media will
have the opportunity to hear from these county representatives why
pedestrian safety is an important initiative deserving of this increased
enforcement effort. After the speakers install the sign completing the
intersection, they and others will participate in a commemorative
crossing of the street.
Failure to yield to pedestrians in crosswalks has long been a violation, however the increased fine of up to $500 per violation was authorized by the Virginia General Assembly last year for Fairfax County after the county pushed for this as part of its legislative program. Throughout the Washington Metropolitan area in the last year there has been a regional effort to improve awareness on the part of drivers and pedestrians about pedestrian safety issues and to focus on drivers who violate these laws. Drivers who see a sign that reminds them about the increased penalty and are aware of the required court appearance are likely to think twice about speeding through crosswalks, making it safer for pedestrians to cross the street.
These signs will be installed at intersections throughout the county over the next few years. The week of April 15, they will be installed at 11 intersections and transportation officials anticipate installing these signs at possibly 75 more intersections this spring. The "Yield to Pedestrian" safety sign program is part of a comprehensive program of pedestrian safety initiatives that Fairfax County is undertaking.
More than 300 pedestrians are injured and 15 killed in automobile related incidents annually in Fairfax County, often resulting in serious permanent disabilities and loss of function. Tragically, this could be prevented by increasing the practice of properly crossing the street and improving driver awareness of the rights and responsibilities of pedestrians.
For more information about pedestrian safety issues in Fairfax County or for information about the ceremony, please call Chris Wells, pedestrian program manager, 703-324-1100, TTY 703-324-1102.

We are all deeply saddened by the tragedy at Sandy Hook Elementary in Newton, Connecticut. Our thoughts and prayers go out to all the families there. Our staff and students will maintain a moment of silence today in support of the teachers, children, and families at Sandy Hook Elementary. Students were encouraged to process their feelings with their families and our staff if they need to. As always, myself and the entire Hillside staff are here to assist you in any way that we can.
This type of tragedy probably raises questions about the security in our school. I would like to outline some of the procedures and steps that have been taken at Hillside Middle School:
- Security cameras have been installed inside and outside our building. Hillside has a security team including the Principal, Assistant Principal, office staff, two custodians and a hall monitor who are in place each day. Our counselors and parent volunteers at lunch support our students as well.
- After the opening bell each day all doors are locked and visitors have to push a button at our main entrance which includes a video camera to be admitted after 8:45. Our office has windows so that we can monitor anyone entering. All visitors must sign in and out of Hillside. PASSS Volunteers arrive each day between 10:30 and 10:45 and sign in with our hall monitor. All visitors have a visitors badge.
You will notice in each classroom a flip chart and red and green signs by each door that outlines procedures for various emergency situations. This set of procedures was developed in cooperation with security experts and law enforcement.
Each year we hold 10 drills so that students and staff become familiar with routines for fire, severe weather, and other emergency situations. Police and fire departments have participated in some of these drills. As an example, and because of these drills, the staff can evacuate and account for all 800+ students in a fire in less than 2 minutes.
We have an excellent working relationship with the City of Northville fire and police departments. Their response time is under two minutes.
We have a team of social workers and counselors to work with any students or families. We also have a building wide crisis team to assist in crisis situations. If you notice that your student has reactions to the news, please feel free to call us for help.
We have established, this school year, a computerized phone system to notify parents of any unusual circumstances.
The office, the principal, assistant principal, custodian, and hall monitor are equipped with walkie-talkies for instant communication. Each classroom has a phone.
Should you have any questions please feel free to contact Hillside at 238-344-8493.

Hungarian Lamb Stew Recipe
A sheepherder's fair is held every July in Powder River, Wyoming, and one of the events is a lamb/mutton stew cook-off. I experimented with this recipe for about a year, but it was worth the effort - I won first place!
- 3 slices Jones Dairy Farm Dry-Aged Bacon, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 2 medium onions, thinly sliced
- 2 pounds lamb stew meat, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 2 tablespoons Hungarian paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon caraway seeds
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 1 medium green pepper, sliced, divided
- 1 medium sweet red pepper, sliced, divided
- 1 cup water
- 3 medium potatoes, peeled and cut into 3/4-inch pieces
- 1 large tomato, sliced
- 1. In a Dutch oven, cook bacon over medium heat until crisp. Using a slotted spoon, remove to paper towels, reserving drippings. Cook onions in drippings until tender. Remove onions. Brown meat in drippings on all sides over medium-high heat.
- 2. Return bacon and onions to pan along with the paprika, salt, caraway, garlic and half the peppers. Add water. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 1-1/2 hours. Add additional water, if necessary.
- 3. Stir in potatoes and remaining peppers. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer for 20 minutes. Add tomatoes; simmer 10 minutes longer or until meat and vegetables are tender. Adjust seasoning, if necessary. Yield: 9 servings.

"I have been trying to find the perfect winter stew for years, and I thin I've found it here. Thanks for the experimenting to perfect this recipe. The meat is tender and it's a really delicious sauce. I added carrot and celery (out of habit) and I think it would work fine with most combinations of vegetables- as long as the capsicums are in there. Going back for seconds..."

GeneralAssembly/6C: Statement by Legal Advisor Ambassador Ney on Reservation to treaties
" Madam Chairwoman/Mr Chairman,
Germany reiterates its highest compliments and great appreciation for the Commission's tremendous achievement in the matter of reservations to treaties, expressed in our earlier comments on the draft guidelines. The Commission's Guide to Practice including the commentaries has already contributed to clarifying legal debate on a number of issues and contains most valuable practical guidance. In this context, I want to mention Guideline 2.5.11 Para. 2 as an example. It provides very useful and practical guidance on the question of whether the partial withdrawal of a reservation may be used as an opportunity to make a new objection - it may not. This may appear to be mere technicality – however, the question frequently comes up in practice and is subject to discussion. I am convinced that widespread appreciation for all aspects of this invaluable instrument, the "Guide to Practice", will come with time, but it will come.
Germany would also like to take the opportunity to reiterate its concerns regarding the Commission's conclusions as to the legal effect and consequences of non-permissible reservations on treaty relations.
Guideline 4.5.1 proposes that "a reservation that does not meet the conditions of formal validity and permissibility set out in Parts 2 and 3 of the Guide to Practice is null and void, and therefore devoid of any legal effect." Considering an impermissible reservation null and void allows for the reservation to be severed from a State's consent to be bound and permits complete disregard for the reserving State's declaration. The nullity and severability of an impermissible reservation is combined with the "positive presumption" proposed in Guideline 4.5.3 Para. 2, under which a State making an impermissible reservation will be considered a contracting State without the benefit of its reservation.
Nullity or invalidity as a consequence of impermissibility would be a new and a remarkably sharp and drastic verdict on a State's reservation, especially where its permissibility is challenged on the grounds that it does not meet the compatibility test of art. 19 lit. c) VCLT, a test open to wide interpretation and debate. The positive presumption - albeit rebuttable - most certainly amounts to a proposal for a new rule in international treaty law. It clearly goes beyond a mere guideline to established practice within the framework of existing international law.
It continues to be Germany's firm position that the ILC's proposal of severability and positive presumption cannot be deduced from existing case law or State practice as a general rule equally valid for all cases of impermissible reservations or with respect to all treaties or treaty settings. Germany confirms its reluctance already expressed earlier to accept the commission's conclusions as a new rule.
We believe that the positive presumption as formulated in the Guide to Practice could hamper treaty relations between States – a concern that has also been voiced by others. It seems to us, that the positive presumption is in its effect far less clear and straightforward than it appears to be; that it raises more questions than it aspires to solve.
Allow me to highlight three aspects in this regard:
One: The rebuttable positive presumption can lead to uncertainty as to whether a reserving State has become a party to a treaty. This is the case, when doubt has been cast on the permissibility of the State's reservation and the State does not intend to be bound to the treaty without the reservation. Such uncertainty would continue until the permissibility or impermissibility of the reservation could be formally established. The question is - which mechanism would and could lead to such clarification? Most treaty settings do not provide for an adjudicatory or monitoring body to deal with that kind of legal question.
Two: If eventually - possibly after an extended period of time - it were established that a reservation was in fact impermissible and a State were to decide that it did not want to be bound without the reservation – what effect would this have on the contractual relationship of all sides concerned? Will the effect be retroactive, meaning that the State was never a Party to the treaty concerned? What if it was that particular State's consent to be bound that allowed the treaty to enter into force? Will a contractual relationship ever have existed between the reserving State and the others? What will happen in treaty settings which create a web of mutual obligations between States? Will the reserving State be entitled to a refund of its financial contributions made under the treaty?
Three: Previous discussion on the matter has shown that the principle of consent underlying international treaty law demands that the positive presumption has to be rebuttable; in other words, a reserving State has to be able to refuse attachment to a treaty if its reservation turns out to be impermissible and hence invalid. As a consequence, every debate on the permissibility of a reservation can, and most likely will, turn into a discussion about the legal attachment of the reserving State to the treaty. The debate on the content of treaty relations between Parties to a treaty - as we know it - is transformed by the Guide to Practice into a discussion on the status of the reserving State as a Party. Some States have even expressed concern that a discussion on the permissibility of a particular reservation could be misused as an easy excuse to end treaty relations any time.
Germany acknowledges that the lack of legal clarity in dealing with impermissible reservations may not be satisfactory. We also are aware of the undesirable effect that impermissible reservations have on the integrity of the general application of Human Rights Standards. And we admit that there are treaty settings which allow for an approach as proposed by the Guide to Practice - as for instance in the context of the European Convention on Human Rights. However, at this point in time Germany is not willing to accept the solution offered by the ILC with regard to the impermissibility of a reservation and the consequences thereof as a general rule of public international law.
Allow me to finish by saying that I hope that these remarks are perceived as a positive contribution to an ongoing debate. By no means they are meant to diminish our admiration for the tremendous achievement of the ILC and its Special Rapporteur Alain Pellet in the area of reservations to treaties.
Thank you."

Topic: hopefully chemo for my sister tomorrow
My sister Becky will hopefully have chemo tomorrow after it has been postponed at least 10 times. High bilirubin, fever, high wbc but maybe she has a chance now. She is still very passive about this whole thing. Three weeks ago , with high bili, the onc told her that most docs would not give chemo but he was willing to give this last ditch effort if she was. When she said she didn't want to go back to the hospital he said the other option was hospice. That scared the crap out of us so she went to the hospital to have chemo inpatient. I read that as she would die w/o the chemo and sooner rather than later. Well , I finally went home later that night and e-mailed everyone I knew and ask for prayer that her bilirubin would come down so she would have a better chance with the chemo.Onc had said she would only get half of the Gem. Anyway, the next morning the onc came in and asked her what she had done the night before and she said , "we prayed" and he said" it worked"as her numbers dropped overnight and they continue to drop. Other things have conspired to keep her from the chemo. Infection in her drains, fever, which they now believe was tumor fever, but today she got the tubes replaced in both drains and seems to be good to go. My only concern now is that she still is acting very passive, will not sit up in a chair, refuses to get a bath, eats only when we push and begs for ativan constantly. Continues to complain of nausea constantly, she is on as much phenergan as possible , refuses to try zofran again but today she tried the gel and from my point of view it helped alot but she says not. all she wants to do is stay as medicated as possible and not involve herself in anything . Is this normal? We have told her over and over that if she does not want the chemo, it is her choice and she says she does , but her actions tell another story. Should I push her or let her lay there? Sometimes I just want to shake her and the next minute I want to crawl up in that bed and just hug her. Anyone have experience with this behavior? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.I am so tired and frustrated Thanks for listening
